//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 The Arrival // Story: My Little Gohan // by SuperGokuVegetaPony8000 //------------------------------// My Little Gohan Chapter 1: Arrival Location: Mountain Region Things have been rough for Gohan since the end of the Cell games. His friends abandoned him, his mother disowned him, and all of them were now hunting him down. But why...? Was the mistake he made really so bad? He wanted to make Cell pay for hurting his friends and for all the people he absorbed. He was driven by his Saiyan instincts to fight and his own emotional fury. Was any of the other Z-fighters really any better. Vegeta killed many during his first visit to earth and never apologized or felt bad about it afterward. Piccolo himself used to be the demon king and slaughtered many in his quest for power. So why was he being punished for unintentionally causing the death of only one person...his own father? How was he to know that cell would self-destruct. These are the questions that ran through Gohan's mind as he ran as fast as he could into the mountains. The only person who did not hate him was Bulma who did not blame Gohan for Goku's death. She had even helped Gohan escape from the other Z-fighters who were hunted him down like a rabbit chased by the wolves. Before Gohan ran Bulma has given him two things to aid him in his escape. A watch that could mask his ki signature completely, and the dragon radar. These 2 items were the only thing keeping him alive and he was determined not to lose either one of them. But why had she given him the Dragon radar...did she think that Gohan could use Shenron to bring Goku back to life. Didn't she know that Goku didn't want to be brought back after they had tried the first time? Whatever the case Gohan knew that he had to keep moving with the Dragonballs that he had collected, only one more and he could summon the Dragon. / I...have to keep moving!/ thought Gohan as he picked up as much speed as his legs would give him, but he was tired and badly starving. / The ball is close... just have to keep going/ Slowing down to rest on a small boulder he caught his breath and studied the Dragon radar. "Alright where is the last ball?" Gohan asked himself while breathing heavily. The Dragon radar beeped rapidly and showed a large glow on it's surface. "It's close I can feel it!" Jumping up from the stone Gohan examined the area he was in trying to find the location of the ball. It was starting to get dark so he needed to hurry, every minute he spent looking for the ball was another minute his ex-friends had to find him and he didn't want to find out what they would do if they did manage to catch up to them. After crawling around the mountain for a few minute he noticed a faint glow coming from a small stream. He walked up to the water and peered into it's shimmering surface. Sure enough at the bottom of the stream was magic ball that he had been searching for. Quickly recovering the ball he started running to find a clearing that he could summon the Dragon in. Something bothered him though, everything seemed like it was too easy. Running up the mountain he found the clearing that he need and he got to work positioning the balls to summon Shenron. The bad feeling came back stronger than ever but that gave him and even better reason to work as fast as he could. After Gohan put the last ball in it's place he yelled in a dry and raspy voice "ARISE SHENRON!" The balls emitted a golden glow as the the pulled themselves close together and shot a massive pillar of light into the sky. The light continued climbing higher and higher until it twisted and curved in a snake light fashion until the almighty dragon Shenron was formed. A new sense of hope welled up inside Gohan as he heard the Dragon speak the typical greeting it gave all who summoned him. "Who awakens me from my eternal slumber!" spoke Shenron in his booming voice. Gohan feeling intimidated but at the same time awestruck responded "It's me Gohan, will you please grant my wish?" Shenron recognized Gohan ask he was atop Kami's lookout just a few short weeks ago when he was summoned to return Goku back to life. "Very well human...Speak your wish now!" Gohan was grateful but he didn't know what to wish for. Gohan decided to ask again if Goku would return from the afterlife but before he could speak his wish he felt multiple energies that he knew all to well. "If it isn't our old friend Gohan, Cause any one else to die today?" spoke the condescendingvoice of the Saiyan Prince Vegeta. Turning around Gohan could see all of his former friends staring at him with angry but undecided looks on their faces. "So which of you would like to have the first crack at him?, What about you Krillin?" Krillin didn't respond but only looked away from Vegeta's smirking gaze. "Don't have the stomach for it baldy...What about you Namek?" just the same as Krillin, Piccolo could only look away. "No takers from you two either?" said Vegeta, referring to both Yamcha and Tien. Neither one of them made any notion of moving. Vegeta laughed "So I'm the only one who has the guts to do what we all decided was best, am I the only one here worthy of being called a warrior!" None of them looked him in the face or even at Gohan, it seemed as if even if they were angry at him they still didn't think he deserved to be tortured like Vegeta wanted him to. "Well fine seeing has all of you left your balls at home I'll just finish him myself!" Vegeta yelled as he charged up his Gallick Gun. Gohan knew that his wish was his only chance for survival, but he had to think quick. "Dragon, I wish for you to send me as far away from earth as possible, so far that no one here could ever find me." Yelled Gohan with anger, and fear in his eyes. The Dragon's eyes glowed as Vegeta had released his attack. Gohan feared for the worst had threw his arms over his face to prepare for the incoming attack. Strangely the attack never made contact, but he felt as if he was moving faster than light through a dark void. Opening his eyes he gasped loudly as he could see that he was moving though space and time covered in a Golden aura. "Gohan...Do you hear my voice?" a voice that Gohan recognized as Shenron's spoke. Gazing in front of him he realized that the Golden aura was in fact the almighty dragon himself guiding him through the universe. "Gohan you have wished to be taken as far away from the planet earth as possible within my power, to make sure that no one can follow you I must take you through dimensions personally, but beware where you are going is not hazard free, there will be many hardships in your journey." spoke Shenron increasing the speed of his flying. Gohan did not care he had nothing to go back to so it didn't matter how hard things would be for him in his new home. "One last thing Gohan...This dimension will change you body but do not be afraid this change is to ensure that you do not disrupt the order of the world." Gohan was confused how would his body be changed and what did this mean for his power. Would it be taken from him or would he remain the same. The answers to these questions would come in time but for now he decided to rest for the remainder of his journey, days of scars and bruises had collected on his body and not once had he stop to sleep since he ran away. As he eyes closed cuddled into a ball on Shenron's back as tears flowed from his eyes. For once in his immortal life Shenron actually felt bad for the young half-saiyan. / Location: Equestria "Come on Spike we are late to Pinky Pie's party" said a young violet pony running as fast ask her hooves could take her. A small dragon followed behind her. "It's not my fault you wanted to clean the entire library again Twilight." said Spike as he ran behind the pony known as Twilight Sparkle. They increased their speed as they were getting close to Pinky Pie's house. "Hey Twilight look up at the sky isn't it too early in the day for a meteor shower?" Twilight was confused but skidded to a halt and looked where Spike had pointed to. "What do you mean meteor Sho..." her voice caught in her throat as the sky turned in a beautiful shade of gold and meteorites flew through the air. /Something isn't right here we weren't scheduled for a meteor shower and If we were I would have know about it!/ Twilight thought as she scratched her mane. The meteorites increased their number and started moving faster and faster until like a rocket one of the flying rocks fell from the sky and crash landed right into the Everfree forest. "Oh my gosh Spike did you just see that!" Twilight screamed with a shocked look on her face. Spike looked at her for a moment and said "Well it was just a flying rock no reason to miss the party right?" Twilight looked at him with a unamused face. "Spike what if that meteorite hit some creature in the forest, I think we should go check it out." Spike groaned but knew that when Twilight decided to do something there was no talking her out of it. "Can't we at least get the other to help us search for it?" spike asked saddened that he wasn't going to be able to party till after the job was done. Twilight nodded and told him gather everyone at the entrance to the Everfree forest. -15 minutes later- Twilight was getting excited to find where the meteorite had landed for a couple of reasons. One reason was that not many objects from space get to be studied by pony kind and another thing was that meteorites are thought to be very magical and could help her train her magic abilities better. Her exited thoughts were interrupted as spike bounced up the hill with all of her friends close behind. Spike had brought Applejack,Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and lastly Fluttershy who was looking a bit worried about going into the Everfree forest. "So Twi what this here talk about a meteor crashing into the forest?" spoke Applejack in her usual farm-girl accent. "Isn't it exiting it just crashed down about twenty minutes ago" said Twilight grinning from ear to ear. Fluttershy was nervous about the damage the meteorite might have caused "I hope none of the animals in the forest got hurt by it" Rainbow Dash put on a mischievous face and tried to scare Fluttershy. "Well if any of the animals did get hit by hit it's probrably too late to save them because they are as flat as pancakes now!" Rainbow Dash joked as she clapped her hooves together like something was getting smooshed. Fluttershy looked at the ground sadly as the other ponies shot rainbow dash a disapproving look. Pinkie Pie who was usually the last one to put 2 and 2 together hid inside a log. Twilight Sparkle looked at her worriedly and asked "Um.. Pinkie Pie what in the world are you doing?" Pinkie Pie poked her head out from the log and started yelling about the sky falling. "You said it yourself Twilight the stars are flying out of the sky and they will crush us all!" Twilight looked at her amused. "Pinkie the stars aren't falling out of the sky it just means that a meteorite didn't burn up in the atmosphere so there is still a chunk a rock somewhere around here." Rarity looked disgusted at the idea of finding a rock. " You mean we all left a nice party just to help you find a dirty space rock?" Twilight looked at her and explained "It's not just a space rock, my books says that meteorites are made out of star energy which means that they could help me train my magic." Applejack jumped to the front of the other ponies and said "Well we won't get anywhere just standing around her like a bundle of hay now let's get going." Following AppleJack's lead they all followed her into the forest and started looking for the meteorite. "If we split up we can cover more ground." said Twilight. As the ponies separated through the forest Fluttershy started looking for animals that might have been hurt by the flying rock. "Um... little animals are you here? If you are hurt then I could help fix you up I have a first aid kit with me." The only thing she could hear through the forest was the eery silence that was always there. She continued walking through the forest checking as much as she could for any injured animals. She couldn't hear the sounds of the other ponies anymore so she decided that she had wondered to far in and it was time for her to turn around. But before she could leave the smell of burning rock caught her nose and she turned to the source of the smell. It was a jagged rock about 10 times as big as she was. She let out a breath of relief as she could tell that the only thing that was injured by the rock was a few trees and the ground itself. She was about to yell out to let her friends know that she had found the rock but before she let out a sound she heard a noise. She slowly walked around the rock as the noise started getting louder but at the same time still muffled. After walking towards the other side of the rock she noticed that the sound was coming from a pile of branches that were knocked down from the impact. "Oh no a poor little animal must be buried underneath all those branches!" she gasped and started pulling branches off of the pile. As more and more branches were pulled off of the pile she could start to see purple fur. She kept pulling as the branches were getting heavier and by the time she pulled the last branch off she was out of breath and panting on the ground. After catching her breath she decided to see what exactly was caught underneath the pile of sticks. Surprisingly it wasn't a small animal like she had thought...it was another Pegasus pony just like her. The new pony had a purple coat with a black mane, but the thing that amazed her the most was the wings that were on his back. They were a beautiful shade of gold that shimmered in the day light. Her amazement ceased however when she saw the long bleeding scar that ran up the pony's chest. Fearing for the worst she screamed out to her friends to come to her. As the sound a galloping hooves came closer the voice of Applejack rang out through the forest and asked "Fluttershy are you okay?" Fluttershy looked at her friends with small tears in her eyes and tried to from words. "I...I'm okay, but...he's not!" The other ponies looked at the unknown pony on the ground at asked what had happened to him. Fluttershy told them that she had found him under a pile of branches and that she thinks he was hit by the meteorite. Twilight Sparkle face turned serious as she turned to spike and said "Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia and tell her that we need a chariot and some doctor's ready to fix him up." Spike did as he was told and sure enough about as fast as he sent it a chariot with none other than the Princess herself pulled up in front of the ponies. "My dearest Twilight what has happened here?" asked the princess shock clearly on her face. Twilight looked at her and said "We think he was hit by this meteorite that fell from the sky today." Celestia looked at her confused "I did not realize we were scheduled for a meteor shower today." The other ponies shrugged as the princess continued "it does not matter now, all that does matter is that we get this young pony some help." The princess's guards loaded the young pony into the chariot and sped off as fast as the could for the castle not noticing that the cutie mark on the young pony flank was the image of a glowing ball with stars on it.
