Hello there everyone! Welcome to my first ever story, Warriors of Legend! I hope you all enjoy it. First, I have to lay down a few pieces of information:

1) This is an A/U in which Gohan never met Videl. His only knowledge of her is as a fighter in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and as Mr. Satan's daughter.

2) This is a shipping story! Gohan x Pyrrha is the pairing and it will not be changed. Arkos lovers, please don't kill me, I have a plan to make Jaune happy too! I'm not just gonna leave the guy out in the cold :)

3) The update schedule for this story is definitely up in the air. I am a highschool student first, so my writing schedule will have to work around that. For now, I would say anywhere from a week to 2 months is the update window. Very wide, I know, but my schedule is unpredictable.

That's all I can think of to say for now. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

EDIT: I'll be making some changes to this chapter whenever I notice something I don't like. I think I rushed this one out because I was so excited for my first story and the final product suffered. Please continue to review so that I can improve from my mistakes!

Chapter 1: The Warrior's Crisis

"Buu! He's coming back!"

"That didn't take long…" Gohan remarked, surprised to see his foe return so soon after being soundly beaten. With his potential unleashed, he knew he was the strongest warrior on the planet, and perhaps the strongest in the universe. Buu also knew this very well, he'd even admitted it right before he'd blown himself up. So he reasoned that if the Majin was coming back, he had to have a trick up his sleeve.

"It's him, but why? Surely he doesn't want to fight Gohan, unless he's managed to improve in the last hour." It seemed Piccolo shared the same sentiments as his student. Buu didn't have the greatest mental capacity in the world, but he wasn't that dumb either. He had to be hiding something. The Namekian decided to keep a close eye on the beast for any signs of deceit or deviousness.

"Alright, I'm gonna go see what he's up to. Stay here and try not to get sucked into the fight," Gohan instructed everyone as he took to the air, flying in the direction of Buu. He set himself down once he was far enough away from the group, and waited for his opponent to reach him.

Why is he back so soon? What could have changed? I just don't get it, I'm not sensing any difference from before.

The Saiyan could hear Mr. Satan shouting at Buu from a distance, attempting to chastise him for killing his daughter and so many others. He wasn't too focused on that though, his mind was racing to figure out what edge Buu though he had. He watched as the Majin laughed maniacally in the face of Hercule.

Trunks, ever the confident and naive little troublemaker, spoke loud enough for Buu to hear his taunt. "Hey, I'll bet he's bluffing guys, 10 to 1 he runs away again!"

Instead of getting angry, his eyes widened as he grinned evilly and shouted right back at them. "Come on then, little worms! I want to fight you NOW!"

Gohan, along with everyone else, was shocked to hear Buu's challenge. What!? He's just going to ignore me and try to fight them? What is he playing at? Regardless, I can't let him get what he wants. Whatever his plan to beat me is involves him fighting Gotenks, so he won't get to.

"No way! That is NOT gonna happen. You're fighting me Buu, you got it?"

The Majin laughed once again. "I have a score to settle with them first, then I'll take care of you, stupid boy!"

The warrior refused to back down. "Sorry pal, but you're not the one making the rules around here. If you wanna fight someone, then I'm your man!"

Completely ignoring Gohan once again, the pink beast taunted Trunks and Goten. "What happened boys? Don't tell me you're scared to fight Buu? You were rearing to go before, but now that your friend showed up you're acting like cowards. COME ON!"

Piccolo did not like the direction in which this confrontation was heading. Completely ignoring the opponent right in front of him and trying to goad the boys into fusing...something certainly felt off.

This is absurd! What is he up to?

Buu was getting closer to convincing the stupid little brats to do their fusion trick, he could feel it. He knew they wouldn't back down from the challenge. As long as the others didn't interfere, he would have their power to himself.

"Now, why don't you do your little magic so we can get started." As he said this, the Majin split two globs of skin off from his back, using his telekinetic control to guide them down behind his legs and off the back of the rock formation he stood upon.

"Fine!" the brats yelled in unison.

The spiky haired one spoke first. "I'm ready, with Gohan on our side there's no way we'll get beat."

"Yeah! I'm sick and tired of hearing this pink guy run his big goofy mouth," the purple haired one agreed with the other idiot.

"Goten, Trunks, hold your ground for a moment. I'm sensing some kind of...deception."

Oh, if only you knew how right you are, Piccolo.

"Come on Piccolo, you've gotta be kidding! He's not smart enough for something like that, he can't even spell deception." That loudmouth was starting to make Buu angry, but he held back for the sake of his plan. If he wasn't able to absorb both Gotenks and Piccolo here, he would have no chance of winning.

"Let's go!" Finally, the two brats jumped down in front of where the strong one was. Now all they needed to do was fuse, and the Majin would have his revenge.

Of course, things could never be so easy. The strong one spoke to the brats. "You two stay back, I'm dealing with this one myself."

"But…awww come on, we're really good!"

"This stinks, we can't just stand here and watch. I wanna fight!"

The blobs of skin were in position, but the brats still hadn't fused. Damn it. If the strong one keeps talking, I'll have no chance. Shut up, stupid boy!

"Don't worry 'bout a thing Gohan, you haven't seen me and Trunks in action yet! When we do fusion, we're unbeatable! Watch this, okay?" It seemed as though the strong one was confident enough to let them proceed. Confidence that would prove to be their downfall.

That's it boys, do your little fusion for me…

"Now...are you ready Goten?"

"Yeah, this time we should definitely start off as Super Saiyan 3."

As they started their dance, Buu was practically giddy. He was so close to achieving his goal.

"Fuuuuuuu-sion. HA!" After all was said and done, the Majin stood before that sniveling little brat who'd taunted him before. The tables were turned now though, they'd fallen into his trap.

Yes...perfect. Now all I need to do is absorb them.

"Sorry you were missing me ugly, but now I'm back and stronger than ever."

A fresh mouth as always. I won't have to hear it for long though. The power of Gotenks and the mind of Piccolo...unstoppable.

"Well Gohan, I hope you don't mind if I take it from here. You're looking like you could use a little break. I'll beat on Buu for a little while, then I might be nice enough to give you another shot at it."

The strong one smirked. "Nice attitude, you've definitely got some Vegeta in you."

"Thank you," the blonde brat replied.

Buu laughed to himself at the fact that they were woefully unaware of their fates. Now, time to capture some brats.

"Wait Bee! Y-you're runnin' the wrong way!" As Buu moved the blobs towards their targets, he noticed Mr. Satan chasing after Bee. This ordinarily wouldn't have been an issue, if not for the fact that Bee was barking at his blobs of skin, attempting to warn the brats of the danger.

The Majin increased the speed of the blobs. If this keeps up, someone is going to notice. I have to get this done quickly.

Mr. Satan continued to cause a ruckus, drawing the attention of Piccolo and Gohan. "Bee, no! If you keep runnin' that way, you'll end up killin' both of us!"

That's it. I've had enough of this, it's time to absorb them. First up, Gotenks.

He guided the blob near Gotenks close enough to jump onto him, but before he could do so…

"What is that!? Gotenks, look out!"

The strong one shot a blast of ki at the blob, incinerating it. Buu was speechless, his mouth hanging wide open. He was so shocked that he had totally forgotten about absorbing Piccolo. Unfortunately for him, that part of the plan fell apart immediately afterwards.

Piccolo saw what had transpired, so he was able to put two and two together. "Look out, he's trying to absorb us! Gotenks, Gohan, Dende, take to the air! He could have more of those things crawling around beneath us!"

NO! He can't get away! Quickly, I need to absorb him now!

As Piccolo tried to take to the sky, the Majin willed his other blob to fly at the Namekian. However, Gotenks had turned to look at him when he'd called out the warning, and saw the blob coming from behind. He too shot a ki blast at the blob, and with that Buu's plans were ruined.

This...this can't be happening. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEM BOTH! NOOOOOOO!

"Whew, that was a close one! I can't believe he was gonna try to absorb us. He's not as stupid as we thought, but he failed so I guess he's still a big dummy anyway."

"Gotenks, this is not the time for taunting and foolishness! You allowed Buu to goad you into fusing, and if he had absorbed both of us Gohan might have been in trouble! You're too naive, you have no self control!"

"Calm down Piccolo, jeez. It's all good. He didn't absorb us, and he isn't going to beat us. Now that we know his plan, he can't catch us off guard again."

The Namekian merely growled at this, since he knew Gotenks was likely correct. Buu couldn't possibly have any more tricks up his sleeve. From how furious he currently looked, it seemed that the Majin was out of options, leaving Gohan and Gotenks to beat the beast into oblivion and end this nightmare.

"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" It looked like Buu was going to have another temper tantrum, so Gohan decided he'd have to beat him before that could happen.

"Gotenks, Piccolo, stay here. I'm going to put him down once and for all."

Gotenks wasn't too pleased to hear him say that. "Hey, wait a minute. I'm finally fused again and you want to have all the fun yourself? Now that's just not fair, let me take him on!"

"Absolutely not, I made a mistake by letting you fuse in the first place. This is my fight now, I need to take him out quickly before he can cause any more trouble."

With that, Gohan sped off towards Buu and landed a hard roundhouse kick on his right side that sent him flying. He phased out and reappeared behind the Majin, backhanding him down into the dirt.

As soon as the monster hit the ground, he was right back up on his feet. Now blinded by rage, Buu started firing volley after volley of ki blasts at Gohan, intent on incinerating every last piece of him. Eventually the saiyan had enough of it, and shot skyward to escape the firestorm.

"You're finished Buu! MASENKO-HA!"

With that, Gohan fired the signature blast of the Demon School down at the Majin. As the blast hit Buu, he could hear the screams of the monster. He let his ki flow for a little while longer before ending his assault, hoping he had done enough damage.

When the smoke cleared, Buu was still standing. It seemed as though he'd just barely gotten his guard up in time, but he was still clearly injured. His eyes had a psychotic sort of glint to them, and soon he started laughing in a matching tone.

"You can't kill Buu. Buu can't die, Buu will live FOREVER!"

"Sorry, but I don't think that's a promise you're gonna be able to keep. Your back is against the wall, and I'm about to end you for good. This attack will be the last, goodbye Majin Buu."

Gohan dropped into the signature stance of the Kamehameha. The Majin knew what was coming, and he knew he would have no way to avoid it.

"Damn it…"

"Kaaaa-"

"Damn it…"

"Meeee-"

"DAMN IT!"

"Haaaa-"

"STUPID BOY, BUU WILL KILL YOU. DO YOU HEAR ME, NOBODY MOCKS MAJIN BUU AND LIVES!"

"Meeee-"

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

As the saiyan charged the final bit of his ki blast, the Majin let out a guttural and primitive scream that shook the very Earth. His anger was rising to new heights, his helplessness pushing him to dig deep into the primal evil power that lay within. His scream was directed straight at Gohan, and just like when he was trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, it was powerful enough to tear open a hole in the universe.

"What the h-" was all the saiyan had time to get out before a rip in space opened up around him, and sucked him into whatever alternate dimension Buu had managed to tear into this time. Up until this point, Gotenks and Piccolo had been staring in shock and confusion at the scene playing out before them, but when he saw Gohan about to disappear, the Super Saiyan 3 took action.

"NO, GOHAN! HANG IN THERE, I'M COMING!" Gotenks flew as fast as he could to try and grab Gohan before he disappeared completely, but he was too late. The warrior was already long gone by the time he arrived. Buu however, was still screaming and causing massive damage.

"YOU! You're gonna pay for that you jerk!" Gotenks landed a hard right hook on the Majin's face, knocking him flat on the ground and effectively ending his rampage. As soon as he stopped his yelling, the hole disappeared, leaving Gohan's whereabouts a mystery.

Piccolo was nearly speechless. "No...Gohan...how could this be?"

"Big brother, no!" The Goten in Gotenks took precedence for a moment, mourning the possible loss of his hero. His face quickly morphed from one of sadness into one of pure rage. He was done playing, it had cost him his brother.

"You. I'm going to kill you for that. Get ready Majin Buu, because I'm not fooling around anymore."

The Majin only smirked, he couldn't believe his luck. Now he had an opponent that he could at least fight evenly. Things were starting to look up for Evil Incarnate.

"You know Pyrrha, it was a really good idea to go on a shopping trip. I thought it would be boring, but we've all been able to pick up some pretty neat stuff!"

"Why thank you Jaune, I thought it would be nice to get off campus and have fun as a team. The last time we did anything truly grand was the food fight." She giggled as she thought of it. That day had ended with Ms. Goodwitch being...less than pleased with them. It was only thanks to Ozpin that they didn't end up having to serve any detentions. Still though, even if they had, it would have been well worth it. Ruby's plan truly did come to fruition, it was one of the best days they'd had at Beacon, at least in Pyrrha's opinion.

Since then, there hadn't been much allowance for fun in their schedule. True, the short game breaks with RWBY during their study time in the library had been nice, but that was the extent of their free time to mess around. Jaune was constantly in need of help with training and schoolwork, but Pyrrha was happy to do so for her partner. Besides that, Ren had his hands full keeping Nora on track with her studies as always, which was only compounded by the fact that their schoolwork was piling up on them as the Vytal Festival approached. Everyone's excitement about the upcoming dance, festival, and tournament, only made it that much more difficult to be studious.

So in light of that, the redhead had decided it would be a good idea for their team to get off campus for a few hours, and recharge their batteries so to speak. It worked out for everyone to take a shopping trip into Vale. Nora needed new ammunition for her grenade launcher, Ren needed more maple syrup and pancake mix to feed his partner's breakfast addiction, Pyrrha herself needed a dress for the dance, and Jaune needed...a guitar...for some unknown reason. When she'd attempted to figure out what he needed it for...

Jaune, may I ask why you need a guitar so badly? I've never known you to be fond of the arts or skilled in music, are you trying to learn?

Uhhh…it's for…a thing…

…A thing?

YES! Uhh…a thing! A really important thing! Oh look, that's a fancy one!

He'd taken off to look at the guitar that was now strapped to his back before she could question him further. If the warrior had to guess, it was likely something to do with his enormous crush on Weiss. That was all he ever seemed to think about, how to woo the Schnee heiress. If only he could realize he was barking up the wrong tree, heaven knows she'd thrown plenty of bones straight at his face. Yet despite that, he'd ignored every single hint and continued in his pursuit of the one person he was least likely to land. At this point, Pyrrha was beginning to lose hope of making the boy notice her. She cast a sidelong glance at him, who was at the moment talking animatedly with Nora about the newest video game on the market.

With a small tap on her shoulder, her attention was shifted to her other teammate. "Pyrrha, when would you like to make our return to Beacon? I believe your dress was the last item on our list that we needed to acquire, and it is now in your possession."

The redhead gave him a small smile. "I'm not sure Ren. It's nice to just walk around the city and take in the view, wouldn't you agree?"

Her smile was returned in full, a rare sight indeed for the normally stoic boy. "Very true, but there is only so much time we can allow ourselves to dawdle. I will leave that judgement up to yourself and our leader though. I was simply wondering so I can plan my evening."

Jaune picked this moment to interject. "We won't be too much longer Ren, does anyone have any last requests before we head back?" Nobody responded, so it was decided that they would start heading back to the airship station. On their way back, they passed the docks that were still in disrepair due to RWBY's recent escapades fighting crime. A small part of Pyrrha wished that she'd been there, it sounded like an exciting time. It was admirable that their team had taken such an initiative to help Blake assuage her worries. However, she also realized how foolish it was to fight a criminal organization on their own at this stage in their education. Still though, she had nothing but respect for them considering that they did it anyway despite the odds being against them.

As they were about to round the corner leading away from the docks, from behind them came an incredibly strong gust of wind, so forceful that they and all the people around them were knocked to the ground. Windows shattered, loose articles of clothing and anything that wasn't rooted to the ground went flying. As the gale force winds continued, Pyrrha was barely able to keep herself from rolling any further by rooting Miló into the ground, forcing herself up into a kneeling stance. She was glad that she'd decided to wear her combat outfit today. As the redhead raised her gaze upward to find the source of this ridiculousness, her mouth hung open in shock.

A hole. A literal hole in space. It was beginning to open up right before her very eyes, electricity sparking all around it, and the wind coming from within it. Her utter shock and terror at this sight was only topped by her curiosity. From what she could tell, the wind was only affecting the area on their side of the hole, just their luck. As it grew larger and larger, a clear picture was starting to form, almost as if she were looking through a peephole into another universe. She could see a shirtless pink beast, despite its color it looked even more terrifying than the worst Grimm. Before she could get a better look at its features though, her view was blocked by a wall of...orange?

Immediately after that, a body came flying through, and shortly afterwards the hole closed. The gusts of wind and sparking of electricity ceased as well. As the redhead rose from her kneeling position and pulled Miló from the ground, she got a better look at the figure that lay in the middle of the street. It was a man, that much was for sure, but he was lying face down. All Pyrrha could see was that he was dressed in an orange martial artist's gi, with a blue undershirt, waist sash, boots, and wristbands. His hair was jet black and spiked up at an almost impossible angle, she wondered if he used gel or if it was always that way. He had the body of a fighter, which both worried and intrigued her. His muscles were well defined from what she could see, and it looked as though he would be taller than her if he were to stand. Well, not in her heels, but that was beside the point. Would he be a friend or a foe? She hoped for the former, although it seemed that they would hold an advantage over him due to his lack of a weapon. Was he an alien? The manner of his arrival caused her to think so, but his features looked entirely human. It was something that she'd have to investigate further.

She heard Jaune speak from behind her in a commanding yet simultaneously timid voice, drawing her attention back to her team. "Is everyone okay?"

Of course, Nora was already standing and was the first to speak in her eternally upbeat tone. "Yep! That was fun!"

Ren rose a bit slower and more carefully, it seemed as though he'd been hit by some debris and was bleeding a bit. "I am alright, I have only sustained a few injuries, my aura should take care of them quickly. I am currently worried more about the civilians and the damage to the surrounding area."

"Right, whenever you guys are ready we should start making sure people are okay. Pyrrha, what about you? You good?"

"Yes Jaune, I'm fine. Although I think we have another problem that we're overlooking right now," she said as she gestured with her sword to the man on the ground behind them. As soon as she spoke those words, a gasp of air was heard from behind them along with a rustling of clothing. It seemed the new arrival had awoken.

Well that was painful…

That was the first thought among many in Gohan's mind at the moment. Buu had caught him off guard with that attack, if one could even call it that. The saiyan was pretty sure it hadn't been on purpose, but when beings made of pure evil get angry enough, strange things tend to happen. Speaking of which…

Wait a minute, where the heck am I anyhow? The last thing I remember is Buu hitting me with that scream, and some sort of portal opening around me. The combined force of that and his scream knocked me in, but that's all I know.

It was clear that he was no longer on the battlefield with Gotenks and Piccolo, he would have been able to sense them. Which brought up another thought, he couldn't feel any familiar energy. That concerned him greatly, he'd be able to feel Gotenks or Buu's energy from anywhere on the Earth. Combining that with his knowledge of how those two escaped from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber meant there were only two possible conclusions. Either he was on another planet, or he was in another…

Oh no. Ohhhhhh no no no no no. Do NOT tell me I was just sent to an alternate dimension in the middle of a fight to save the universe. You've gotta be kidding me! Gotenks is evenly matched with Buu, but because of the time limit on the fusion and their tendency to fool around, they don't stand a chance of beating him! I have to get back to Earth before it runs out, but how!?

"Excuse me? Are you alright?"

Gohan stood up and slowly turned himself in the direction of the concerned sounding female voice that had just addressed him. As he took in his surroundings, it seemed that he'd ended up on a city street by a dock, and it also seemed like his entrance had caused a large amount of damage to the area. He felt guilty about that, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. As he pointed his gaze forward, his eyes came to rest on a group of what looked to be four warriors around his age.

One was a blonde boy with white armor pieces covering his chest and shoulders, a black sweatshirt underneath, orange bracers, brown gloves, worn jeans, and black boots. Another was a boy with long black hair, with a magenta streak on the left, that was tied into a ponytail. His eyes were almost the same color as that streak of hair, and he wore a dark green top with white pants and black shoes. The shortest of the group was the one his eyes moved to next, with bright orange shoulder length hair and turquoise eyes. Her sleeveless top was a mix of white, black, and grey, along with a detached white sleeve on each arm. She wore pink fingerless gloves along with a pink skirt, and her boots were a white with pink accents.

The fourth member of the group, who was also the one closest to him and had been the one to address him, clearly stood out from the rest in Gohan's mind. Her waist length hair was in a ponytail, a stunning scarlet shade of red, and her eyes were a piercing emerald green. The girl's countenance was at the moment one of concern and caution, but it didn't detract from her beauty in the slightest. A bronze circlet adorned her head, with teardrop shaped emeralds hanging low by her ears on chains connected to each side of the circlet. Her strapless top was two layered, with leather above and a bronze V-neck underneath. She also wore a black miniskirt with red ankle length drapery wrapped around it. Her brown, mid-calf boots had high heels, about 4 inches, and bronze trimming. The rest of her outfit consisted of elaborate bronze armor, including greaves and cuisses for her legs, bracers for her arms, and a gorget at her neck. She was currently holding a shortsword and a shield, both of which matched the color scheme of her outfit.

Gohan normally would have taken the time to stop and have a nice conversation with them about their world, technologies, and other scholarly interests of his. For example, it was odd to him that the black haired boy seemed to be carrying dual sub-machine guns, while the other three looked to be carrying more primitive weapons such as the sword and shield of the blonde. Unfortunately he didn't have enough time, he needed to know where he was and how to get home. It was a longshot, but maybe these people could help him?

"Well, whether or not I'm alright is relative, but physically I'm okay if that's what you're asking. I'm sorry about the damage caused by my arrival here, I really had no control over it. I know you probably have a lot of questions, but I'm really in a rush to get back to where I came from right now. Could you tell me where I am?" He gave her a smile and dropped his guard to try and convey that he wasn't a threat. From what he could tell, none of them had enough power to even lay a scratch on him.

The girl seemed confused for a second, but quickly her face shifted to a much brighter look, and she dropped her guard just as Gohan did. "Gladly, you're in the capital city of the Kingdom of Vale, which is located on the continent of Sanus. Does any of that sound familiar to you?"

"Unfortunately not, it seems as though I'm a long way from home. What's your planet called?"

"Planet? Well, I guess it's no surprise from the circumstances of your arrival that you might be from another world. We call ours Remnant."

Darn, I guess I really am a long way from home. If I wasn't in such a hurry I'd like to stick around for a while and research, but I have to get back to Earth. How though?

"Odd question, but do you know of anyone on Remnant who has knowledge of inter-dimensional travel?"

The blonde chose this moment to finally speak up. "Inter-what now?"

The black haired one addressed both Gohan and the blonde to answer each respective question. "Jaune, if I am understanding this man correctly, I believe he is referring to travel between alternate realities. This is merely theoretical in the highest levels of our scientific research, so to answer his question, no we do not."

The blonde, who Gohan now knew to be named Jaune, merely responded with an "Oh," and an extremely confused look.

"Hey Ren, what does all that stuff mean?" The orange haired girl was now tugging on the sleeve of the other boy, demanding to have the situation explained to her.

"Nora, I'll try to explain it to you later, but I don't think you'll be too interested on the subject. I myself don't know much about it either. Right now we should focus on the situation at hand."

The girl smiled brightly and nodded her head, and with that all eyes turned back to Gohan. He had no idea what to do now, all he knew was that he likely had 15 minutes at most to get back to Earth before Gotenks' fusion ran out. The question of how he would do that was still up in the air though, as this conversation had only informed him on his location. It hadn't helped him at all to figure out how to get back, which was a big problem.

Come on Gohan, think! What logical way could you get back to Earth? These people have no knowledge of inter-dimensional travel, and neither do I, so science is out the window. How did Buu do it? From what I saw, all he did was get angry, power up, and...yell really loudly...Man, that sounds like something dad would do. "I say we punch it really really hard!" I guess once you get powerful enough you can yell through dimensions? It's all I've got for ideas, so I have to try it, otherwise the Earth is toast. I need to find somewhere that I can power up and not cause any damage to their city.

"Well thank you for the information Ren, Jaune, Nora, and…I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?"

The redhead smiled warmly once again. "My name is Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos. May I ask what yours is?"

"My name is Son Gohan. It was nice meeting you all, but as I said I'm in a really big hurry. I'm sorry for causing a disturbance, but I have to go now!" As he finished his sentence, he took to the sky and flew off to find a location devoid of life to execute his escape plan. This of course, left team JNPR practically speechless.

Except for one Jaune Arc.

"DID HE JUST FLY!?"

After flying around for a few minutes, Gohan set himself down in a desert area without much life. He only had 10 minutes left, he needed to make this work, and fast.

I guess when Buu did it, he just powered up and yelled really loud. I might pop a lung, but it's worth a shot.

He put himself into a horse stance and focused all of his energy, raising it as high as possible. As his power rose, his aura and the electricity around it became more violent, the wind and the landscape responding to this change by gusting and shaking in an equally violent and chaotic manner. After a minute or two, his power was reaching its climax, and he was ready to give his plan a shot. He filled his lungs with as much air as he could manage, and then let it all go in an earth shaking shout.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

...and nothing happened.

No...I can't give up now! I have to try again, otherwise Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo are all going to die!

So he did. He tried again, and again, and again. About twelve more times in fact, before he was totally out of breath and couldn't shout anymore. His state of mind was growing more and more panicked as time ran on. He estimated that he had about one minute before Gotenks' fusion ran out. He took a moment to catch his breath, and raised his power higher than he ever had before. Then with all of his might, he yelled one last time…

Again, nothing happened. The 30 minutes of Gotenks' fusion was up, and Gohan was still stuck on Remnant. Things were not looking up for the Ultimate Warrior.

I'm sure you all have PLENTY of questions regarding what is to come, some of which include the fate of Earth. I assure you, that will be explained in the near future. For now though, I'd like to take a moment to discuss the difference between timelines, universes, and alternate dimensions. Just so that nobody gets confused.

Universes are just the space and time for specific existences. The Dragon Ball world has 13 of them, and it's never explained in RWBY but I'm going off the assumption that there is only one universe in their world.

Timelines are separate lines of history, created by individuals meddling with the way events in time are originally supposed to flow. The most obvious example is Trunks coming back to the past to save the world. Trunks' timeline was actually the original one, but when he went back in time he created 3 more. The first of which being the one he directly affected, what is commonly referred to as the "true timeline" in which the events of DBZ take place. The second one is the timeline Cell comes from, and the third is what is referred to as the "unseen timeline", one in which Cell never comes back to the past and the Androids are dealt with without his interference.

Dimensions are an entirely different concept. Universes exist within timelines, and both universes and timelines exist within dimensions, if that makes sense. We know that universes exist within timelines because of the fact that there is a "Future" Zeno. Think of dimensions as entirely different planes of existence with different histories and rules. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is the only alternate dimension within the Dragon Ball canon that I can think of, unless you were to refer to Whis' staff as an alternate dimension since Goku and Vegeta trained in it. In the HTC, there are no other universes, and time runs at a radically different rate than it does on Earth. The universe that Remnant exists in is contained within an alternate dimension, and that is what Buu tore into with his space-time rip.

Phew, that was a lot to type out. Hopefully you all understand it now, I'm not sure how much I can clarify past that.

Anyway, this A/N is already long enough so I'm going to cut it here. If you like this and can't wait to see more work of mine, the closest you can get is Power Within, a Teen Gohan x Ruby story written by my buddy Xman321 that I edit/co-write for.

Read, review, and I'll see you next time!
