Dragon Ball Alternate Time Line Episode Eightteen

Episode Eighteen-Son vs Son

Gohan smiled as his father stepped into the ring. He had been dreaming of this moment since he first heard his father was going to be entering the Tournament. He was going to go one on one with the man who once put the fate of the entire planet in his hands and taught him to unlock the hidden potential within him since birth and as an added bonus it was to determine the winner of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament.

"So, dad. Were you looking forward to fighting me?" Gohan asked.

Goku nodded. "Ever since you defeated Cell."

"You know were actually pretty even now."

"I know. I was kind of hoping you had gotten stronger over the years."

"Well, I had better things to do." Gohan sighed.

"I know." Goku said. "Goten and Chika are good kids. Your mother raised them well and you taught them to fight pretty good."

"Actually mom did most of the training." Gohan laughed. "Your dieing made her a little more willing to let Goten and Chika fight."

"Really? Wow. You know, I've actually had alot of fun as a dead guy. Not long after I arrived in Heaven to stay I entered the 500th Tournament Of The Heavens and made it to the finals. Match ended in a draw though."

"Eh, better luck next time." Gohan said with a shrug. "Should we get started?"

Goku looked up into the crowd and saw the other Z Warriors, Supreme Kai and Kibito and nodded. "Show me what you've got."

The two went at maximum base power and flew towards eachother as the crowd already began to get into a frenzy, the Championship match getting underway.

***************************************************************************************************************************

In the crowd Supreme Kai watched the medical room where Spopovitch and Yamu layed closely.

"Kibito, let me know if they try anything." Shin said telepathically. Kibito simply nodded.

The Z Warriors on the otherhand were all excited to see the fight. "This will be one hell of a match!" Yamcha shouted.

"Yeah." Krillin agreed. "I just hope the arena survives."

***************************************************************************************************************************

Goku and Gohan began exchanging punches back and forth. Just when it seemed even Goku hits Gohan with a kick that sent him hard to the ground followed by a small ki blast that Gohan easily dodged and another kick that connected. Gohan stumbled back and threw a punch that Goku avoided with ease folllowed by an elbow that grazed the side of his father's face. Goku was unfased though and caught Gohan with a forearm to the stomach. Gohan backed up but Goku kept coming at him.

"Come on Gohan. You can do better than this." Goku said.

"You're right. I can." Gohan told him catching him with a kick that sent Goku into the air. Gohan flew up and tryed to punch his father but Goku caught his fist and threw him to the ground.

Seconds later Gohan burst out from under the rubble with golden hair and blue eyes, in the first level of Super Saiyan.

"Already?" Goku asked.

"What can I say. I've slacked off." Gohan sighed.

Goku smiled and flew at Gohan with a kick that knocked him off his feet. Gohan got right back up though and hit his father with an elbow that sent him towards the edge of the ring. Goku stopped himself before he fell out though and flew back at him with a knee that Gohan blocked and countered with a headbutt. Goku stumbled back and got caught with a leg sweep that sent him to the ground. Gohan flew up and began charging a Masenko but Goku followed, turning Super Saiyan One half way up and fireing a Kamehameha at Gohan which caused Gohan to stop charging his Masenko and move out of the way.

"Man, that was too close!"

"Well, the important part was that you dodged it."

Gohan laughed only to get caught by a fist to the face. Gohan quickly recovered and began exchaning lighting fast blows with his father in the sky above. Seconds later both of them fell down to the ground. Goku was the first to his feet and walked towards Gohan only to be caught with a foot to his shin. Goku began hopping around on one foot as Gohan got up and ran towards him. But Goku suddenly smirked and kicked him with his "hurt" leg. Gohan fell back to the ground and groaned. He suddenly got back up and focused all of his power. He let out a scream as he went Level Two.

***************************************************************************************************************************

"Hmph. The kid is still weaker than he was during the Cell Games at the second level." Vegeta said.

"Well he was busy with more important things!" Chi Chi screamed at him.

"I was merely making an observation you crazy woman!" Vegeta shouted.

"Will you two stop?" Piccolo sighed. "Gohan, despite being weaker in body, is still equally strong in the mind."

"But will the strength of the child's mind be enough?" Saladaras asked to nobody in particular.

Videl tapped him on the shoulder. "What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Videl, I told you. All will be answered in time." Shin said.

Videl sighed. "I just hate not knowing what the hell is going on."

"You wil know soon enough Videl."

***************************************************************************************************************************

Off in the wase lands two more people were watching as Gohan and Goku fought.

"This is unbeleivable!" The smaller one cackled. "There's enough energy in the weaker one alone to revive Buu."

"I still want a shot at them Master Babadi. Just incase Majin Buu is'nt what he used to be" The taller one snarled.

"Oh beleive me Dabura. Buu will be much more powerful than what you will ever be. We just need to keep our eye on one of the fighters currently in the ring. Whoever loses the fight will get the privaledge of being the one responsible for Buu's rebirth!"

Dabura nodded as Spopovitch and Yamu appeared on Babadi's crystal ball. "I just hope those two will be capable of getting the energy."

"Have faith Dabura." Babadi said. "Have faith."

Back in the ring Goku and Gohan's match continued with the two now even. Exchanging blows and blocks at speeds only Vegeta, Saladaras, Piccolo, Shin and Kibito could follow. Gohan was finnaly able to over power Goku with a blast of ki and a series of punches and kicks that sent Goku down hard. Goku popped back up only to get hit with an elbow under his jaw. Gohan had the advantage hitting his father at all angles with every move he knew untill Goku let out a burst of energy and went up to level two.

"Oh man. You're stronger than I've ever been." Gohan said.

"Well, I've had to keep some of my old foes in line. King Piccolo, Frieza, Cell, Kold, Cooler and the Ginyu Force just don't want to behave down in Hell."

"Really? Have you met your dad yet?"

"No. Not yet. Whenever I'm down there he does'nt seem to be hanging out with the other Saiyans. I patched things up with Radditz though."

"Well, that's a start."

Goku nodded and the fight continued with Gohan getting his father knee right between the eyes. Gohan stumbled back, partially blinded and focused on his father's ki trying to hit him with a kick. Goku caught Gohan's foot though and twisted it. Gohan fell down onto the ground and began screaming in pain as his father continued twisting his ankle.

"Heh. I never thought I'd have to use a wrestling technique in the World Tournament." Goku said as Gohan tried to struggle out.

"Well, it works pretty well." Gohan groaned. "There's one little thing I can do most wrestlers can't though."

Gohan moved his tail up to his father's hand and began tickling it. Goku started to laugh and went to grab Gohan's tail but stopped and just let go of Gohan's ankle.

"Why did'nt you grab my tail?" Gohan asked.

"Your mother would have killed me."

Gohan flew at his father with a shoulder tackle but Goku leap frogged over him and caught him with a kick to the lower back. Gohan fell face first to the ground, rolled towards the edge of the ring and got up. He put his hands up as if he was about to go for a Masenko but then moved his hands down as if he was about to go for a Kamehameha. Yellowish blue energy began to come out of Gohan's hands and he shouted. "Kamehasenkoha!" He thursted his hands forward but when the blast came out he flew backwards. The blast hit Goku and sent him flying but as Goku hit the wall Gohan hit the ground. The crowd began buzzing as the announcer got on the mic.

"Ladies and gentleman, the winner of this fantastic match and the World Martial Arts for a second time. Goku!"

***************************************************************************************************************************

The crowd got on thier feet and cheered as Goku and Gohan walked into the ring and embraced eachother.

"Congratulations dad." Gohan said.

"Good match son." Goku said as he was handed the 25th World Championship belt and a cheque for fiver hundered thousand zennie which Chi Chi took as soon as she got into the ring with the other Z warriors (even Vegeta), Shin and Kibito. Absent though was Videl. As the other Z warriors celebrated with Goku Gohan gulped and began looking for Videl.

"Hey where's Gohan going?" Bura asked.

"I dunno. Wanna follow him?" Trunks asked.

"I do!" Goten said.

"I'll come to." Chika said.

"Me too." Dinner said.

Trunks nodded and the five kids began following Gohan.

***************************************************************************************************************************

In the medical room Spopovitch and Yamu sat up. They took out all the medics and left the room, starting thier search for Gohan as in the waste lands Babadi prepared to realise his destiny, Goku celebrated with family and friends and Gohan prayed for a miracle.
