Chapter 2: Gero's laboratory.

"That was a bit cringe, wasn't it ? " standing alone In my room as I blushed a little bit.

The next day,

I was already eating a hefty meal as I tried to gather informations on my location and the situation.

I headed back to my room while escaping the eye of mom, she could tell me to go study anytime, and I did not have time for this kind of secondary activity, for now at least.

First of all, we are in a hideout of Gyumao, my grandpa, he said that it was something he kept hidden even when his castle on mount Frypan was destroyed by Master Roshi, here there is a lot of resources so no risk dying of hunger.

Second of all we are quite far from Master's Roshi island, sure his island was far anyway but like we are really far away, even with my strength and speed, there is no way I am going there in less than 2 hours.

Third, we have news androids are going on a rampage, there are still quite a few active channels as surprising as it may be, but that's not really impossible it has after all only been roughly two days since the androids appearance. 

First I need to convince my mom to let me train with master Roshi. I don't think it's going to be that hard, and plus in the original series, I had gone from home without mom noticing, she was really sad.

But I don't intend to leave without warning, I probably did it because I was still child and thought my mom wouldn't let me.

Reaching Master Roshi's island at second thought isn't going to be difficult after giving it a second thought. They are busy massacring people and with a little detour, I could easily avoid cities therefore avoid the androids since they can't detect energy anyway. BUT, I also need to go to the Gero's laboratory.

Nevertheless, this is going to be not that difficult too, I learned we are in the north part of earth so near the muscle tower which is in the same region as the Gero's laboratory. I will of course not find it really easily but i have big hints to where it is.

So as I devised my plans for the big trip, time flew and it was already noon. 'It's time to tell mom about the plans.'

So I made my way to the living room, mom was in the kitchen cooking the dinner while Gyumao was asleep on the sofa.

"Mom, I need to talk to you about something." I said with a stern look.

"What is it Gohan ? Why so serious ?" Chichi looked a bit worried, she thought what she was expecting would finally happen, and she feared that. Chichi stooped cooking and made her way to where Gohan is standing. "I am all ears, tell me."

"Mom, I am leaving to train with master Roshi." Gohan said. Chichi heart sank ad it was visible on her face but she quickly regained composure. "Well, I kinda saw it coming, wait a few minutes." Chichi said while Gohan looked a bit shocked. But from the series, he already knew chichi was like that, she would do everything to stop her kids from ever involving themselves in fighting even sometimes it could be a bit excessive but she would always give in. 

After a bit, Chichi packed some food for her son and it was not in small quantity, at all. "Gohan..." Chichi then pulled gohan for a hug "Please, come back safe." She was on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry mom, I will be back safe and sound."Gohan said. He had already packed a bit of stuff but now he was loaded but it wan't anything of considerable size enough to slow him down, and he could always throw these away in a dire situation.

'Maybe I should see bulma for some kind of pocket dimension.' I thought. 

"See you, mom !" I then erupted in the air with my old phone, yes we were living far from civilization but I still had one of those. It was old but could still hold a map, the servers of internet were still pretty much okay.

Hmm, seems like this world still remembers red ribbon army since they have the muscle tower on this map. 

After passing through some magnificent landscapes, and people in cars fleeing from the cities, I arrived to muscle tower. Hmm, this really looks like what was described a tower made of bricks, but it was in ruins.

After that I started ki sensing to spot some people, maybe they could give some good hints but I should make sure I don't fly in front of them, I don't want to be mistaken for an android even if I don't match their descriptions.

As I activated my ki sense, I detected a cluster of grouped ki, must be a village. As I made my way there, it kind of reminded me of something but I brushed it off, as I landed in a grove not far from there i made my way on feet only to find that everyone was hiding in there little igloo like houses. So like the innocent kid I am, I knocked on a door and someone opened and pulled me in and quickly closed the door again.

"Haaa, What is a young kid like you doing outside ? Where are your parents ?"A lady who looked to be in her mid twenties with long red hair and violet eyes. she wore a yellow jacket, a pink scarf that went well with her hair. Not gonna lie, she's kind of beautiful.

'Ugh, I have to act innocent.' Since the merge I Gohan is a little different, I am kind of a child and an adult at the same time. "My name is Son Gohan and I am searching for a place." I said with a cheerful voice. The lady was staring at me, it looked as if she was inspecting me. 

'Son Gohan huh ? It's kind of familiar but I don't seem to remember." The woman thought.

She, turned back and took a cup where she poured some kind of hot chocolate I assume, why would you give a child coffee ?

"Here, drink it it's going to warm you up. My name is Suno. Well, what are you searching in the middle of the night ? You know that there two dangerous people that are going around ?" 

"Yes, I know but I really need to head to that place, my parents are there." I said inventing a big lie. "It is near where those two persons appeared but I don't exactly know where it is but I stopped here to ask."

"WHAT ? Don't tell me you want to go there ?!"Suno said. 

"Yes, it's really important, and I don't think the bad people are there, they have already left for big cities, do you have an idea of where it is supposed to be ?" Gohan said with a really cute look. 'Never doing this again.'

"Well, I do know where it is but I can't let you go there alone...AH, I know." Suno then went out of the house. she seemed have shout someone's name, Hacchan ?

She then came back with a big guy following behind her and I automatically knew who it was, it was android 8.

"Hacchan, this is Son Gohan, he came here looking for the place where his parents are, I hope you can accompany him there, please." Suno was looking at me with worry.

"No problem Suno, but Son Gohan, do you know someone named Son Goku ? " Hacchan said while kind of recognizing me.

"Yes, it's my father." I replied, there was no need to hide this. and they would know I'm not that weak. Plus if It's android 8 there then it's the girl who rescued Goku, they won't have to worry about me.

"Whaaaa, Goku is your father !" Suno exclaimed "Wow, I'm shocked, he already has a child."

"Hey, do you know your father was my friend ?" Hacchan asked Gohan.

"No, I didn't knew." Gohan replied with discomfort in his voice.

"Well now you know, and how is he doing ?" Suno asked

"Well, he died a few months ago..." Gohan replied.

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Hacchan and Suno replied with sadness in the voice.

.......

After a discussing a while, Gohan followed Hacchan to the androids first spotted location, the passed by a road where they led to truck accident. As hacchan described the place, I remembered it, it was there too android 18 and 17 met the Z-fighters in the canon timeline.

They arrived pretty fast as Gohan didn't need to hide he could fly.

"Well there it is, is it the place you searched ?" Asked Hacchan.

"Yes it is, thank you very much." Gohan replied cheerfully.

"Then farewell, I have village to protect." Hacchan was going back, he became the defender of the village since a long time ago.

'Well it's not going to be that difficult to find that laboratory right now. I'm quite close to it.'

I really was close to it as I saw traces of battle, maybe this time put some kind of resistance before he was killed. Serves him right anyway.

As I followed the last traces there was nothing apart from a small hole in the mountain. But this is the entrance. Honestly I thank myself for being a hard db fan or I would have cried for not finding the Gero's laboratory. 

I made my way inside the Holland the door was on the floor, it was pushed by a really string force, there didn't seem to be a security system, well it must have been destroyed when the androids killed dr Gero but I should still be careful and as I entered I found the capsule where android 16 was and he really was in there.

I was a bit scared but android 16 wasn't evil, he was the opposite of that, his only goal was to kill goku, but I couldn't take the risk to activate him, imagine if he wasn't like in the manga. But I decided against destroying him, I would only destroy the part where cell was. After all maybe there would be some good inventions bulma could take here.

I already knew of the passage way to cell hideout. I opened the trap and went further down and finally arrived.

"Whoa, this is really scary and creepy..." I said as I looked at cell in the liquid, he was still in development. He was kind of advanced but not too much. I know it doesn't sound that clear but that is the only way I can describe him as I see him.

'Well better not take long here, I searched through some papers and finally dragged a bunch of papers in the main room and put it there, a for cell, I needed to make sure he thoroughly destroyed, I started levitating as I went up in the passage where the trap was and started gathering ki in my hands.

"MASENKO !" everything was destroyed and burned, I tried ki sensing and cell's life-force quickly extinguished. But I wasn't finished I stayed there flying till the flames calmes down and came back down, cell was not even in its first form he couldn't even think like a person right now. I searched for its corps and found it, it was lying down and there were still signs of life. I then blasted him to oblivion.

"Now it's okay..."

Author's note : I am going to update a chapter Every day till the chapter 15 so don't save it for later, continue to read and power stones are appreciated. 😘

Chapter 3: Videl and Erasa.

I took my luggage in the main room and resume my journey. Now I need to head to Master Roshi's island. Bulma won't be able to concentrate on anything right now, her child is still a baby and her parents must have just died, after one or two years, I will come back to see her and as for now, it's dangerous for me wonder around as I don't exactly know the android's location. 

Flying close to the ground, I made my way to Kame house while avoiding cities.

Two Hours later,

I'm staring to get a bit bored not going at high speed, but this is due to the androids, if I get spotted, it's game over. 

'I should have taken headphones !' I thought with a bit of frustration, but I was sure I did not have one of those.

As I continued avoiding the cities, I was passing nearby one, not that I wanted but I forgot, I was not going to hold that damn phone for hours, it was not tiring but it was hella annoying. So when I realized I was closing on a city, I quickly changed course even if there was nothing alarming, I already said if I met the androids it's game over instantly even solar flare was not saving me.

But it was already in ruins so there was little risk they were here. But I gotta say, those two shits are fast.

Then I heard what seemed to be a little girl screaming. I was a bit curious so turned over to see what was happening.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH? VIDEL? I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT !" A young girl with mid sized blonde hair and blue eyes said. 

"SO WHAT SHOULD WE HAVE DONE ?!" A young girl with long black hair and light blue eyes replied.

"HEY YOU BRATS BETTER GIVE BACK WHAT YOU STOLE !!!!" Said some men chasing the two young girls.

'Hmm, Videl and Erasa, I wondered where they could have been in the future timeline but here they are.' They were getting chased but what seemed to be a Gang ? At least they looked like ruffians. They seem to have stolen food from them. 'It hasn't even been a week and already out of food ? This is crazy...'

'Anyway, I shouldn't let them be caught or they are gonna get in trouble. I approach them and landed. 

Next, I threw a kikoha between them. 

*Fwoosh * *BOOOOOOM*

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ?" said all of them in unison. This stopped the gang from continuing chasing the two little girls and this also stopped the two kids who were startled.

"What the heck was that ?" Videl said while getting up as the wind from the explosion made her fall down.

"That was me, what is the problem ?" I was already on the ground behind them int these ruins of a city. I wanted to see videl closer. As a 21 years old I felt nothing apart from excitement from meeting people that were only fiction from me but I was also Gohan and a kid. I knew this girl was the mother of my child in another time so I couldn't continue my way and ignore her even if that may be a bit weird.

"What, a kid ? stop with your jokes and flee from here it's dangerous for you !" said Videl.

"Aren't you a kid too ?" Gohan replied mockingly. 

"He got a point there Videl." The young blonde girl said. "And what is a cutie doing here ?" 

'Huh ?' Gohan was a bit shocked by the little girl sentence but brushed it over and said nothing.

"Not talkative I see. My name is Erasa" As Erasa said this she was interrupted quickly by videl "This isn't the time to make friends, have you forget why we're here." 

"Too late, ahahaha !" A big guy closed in.

"Aaaaaahhh, We're screwed !" Videl thought they were screwed.

I did not waste any time chattering and surged toward the man that was on the verge to seize Videl and Erasa and and dropkicked him. 'whoops too strong.' 

The guy was sent flying in a building, the others were scared and scattered. "SO-SORRY TO HAVE BOTHERED YOU !!!!!"

"Well, I didn't need to go that hard." I was a bit mean there.

"Whooooooa, you're super strong !!!! Do you have some kind of super power ? " Erasa asked in amazement. If it was an anime her eyes would be shining.

"Tha-thanks for saving us." Videl thanked the boy who saved them. She took a better look at him now. He seemed to be the same age as them and had really long and messy hair and wore an violet go with a white scarf.

"No need to thank me but why were you getting chased by those gangtsers even if I can kind if see it with those bags full of cans." I replied.

"Well, we have been separated from our parents, we were in the city the androids attacked first. So we escaped the city but were left with no food." Videl said with a dark look.

"And I was hanging out with her when it happened." Erasa added. "But what about you, you don't seem normal."

'I guess I can tell them, this would change nothing.' Gohan then said "Well, I was on my way to go train with a renowned master, my goal is to eliminate these androids." 

Videl and erasa were left speechless till Videl finally broke the silence "A master you said, Can you take you with me ?" Erasa who heard this added "Hey if you take her take me too, please ?" 

"Well, I am an acquaintance of the said master but I don't know if he will take you in." Gohan replied.

"I can cook and clean !" Erasa proudly said.

"And for me I can do that as well but what I really want is to be strong enough and find my dad." Videl interjected.

"Okay, then I shall let you tag along." Sorry master, but I can't let those two here on the streets.

"YAAAAY !" Screamed Erasa. "Really thank you. But you haven't tell us your name." Videl said.

"My name is Son Gohan, you can call me Gohan."

"Okay Gohan." Videl and Erasa said in unison.

"But how are we going to go where this master is, you don't seem to have a car or anything of the sort ?" Videl asked.

"No, but can do that." Gohan then started flying.

"Wow, aren't you Basically a superhero ?" Erasa asked.

"Well, this is basic, but you can't do it. Well don't worry, I won't carry you, I have a better idea."Gohan then reached for his bags and put all of them. He put them down before approaching the girls.

Gohan then placed himself in a lying position in the air. "Get on !"

The girls sat on the bags like seats in a car. "Hold on tight, I wasted a lot of time so I'm going to go a little quickly."

Gohan then dashed towards Kame house, from the last look he gave the map, Kame house was 1 hour away, straight ahead.
