Excuse my poor grammar and writting skills. I love reading DBZ fanfics, so I thought I would give it a try. Please dont flame too much. I know I have a lot to improve on, but I hope you can enjoy it. I am in college, and will likely take my dear sweet time to update. If people like it, I will try to update ASAP. Enjoy

I dont own DBZ

"Stay hidden and don't say anything!" the green Namekian fighter whispered. It had been one week since the Androids attacked and killed all the greatest warriors except a select few. Krillian, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Vegeta, and even Master Roshi all saw their last moments in battle against the maniacal Androids. Once again, the Androids attacked us with no notice.

Only crying and sniffling came from the young boy named Gohan, that was hidden well underneath many heavy rocks. "Hey sis, do you think we got them?" "I'm not sure, all those other warriors including the guy that could change his hair to gold all died when you blasted them!" 18 yelled across what was left of the battlefield. All that was left within the immediate range were broken-up rocks from blasts caused by 17.

"I think we got them. Hey why don't we go to the next town and blast some more humans, what do you say sis?" "Sure let's go." 18 said with some excitement.

"Those horrible androids, they are attacking again" Gohan said angrily. "Keep your mouth shut kid, they are still close!" Piccolo said quietly yet loudly enough so that Gohan got the message. Piccolo looked out of the hole where the small crack of light was shining in. The Androids were flying away, all that could be seen now was a small dot far away. "Ok kid, let's get outta here."

Gohan and Piccolo began to make their way to the surface. "I'm sorry kid, but there's no stopping them. They are going to continue to kill." Piccolo said sadly. "There must be a way!" Gohan pleading not giving so easily. "Kid you don't understand, it's a matter of time before they get me. They still haven't found you. They don't even know you exist, but they do know I'm here." Piccolo said in his monotone voice. "Maybe if they did know I was here, we may have stood a chance back there. Why won't you let me fight, you make me hide behind a rock" Gohan said with anger. "Because you are too weak! Don't you understand, unlike you, I have been in many battles. I have fought your father, and many of your friends! I know what it takes to win, and currently you don't have it! It will take years of training before you even stand a chance against those Androids. Don't be a fool like Vegeta who went straight to battle taking this new challenge blindly." Piccolo said. Gohan knew it was the truth yet didn't want It to be. He knew he didn't stand a chance.

"Come on kid, let's go home" Piccolo and Gohan both flew off towards Gohan's mother. The flight was quiet. Both Gohan and Piccolo haven't gotten over Goku's death. Gohan thought 'Why is this happening. First my father then all my friends. This isn't fair!' Gohan continued to feel anger, sorrow, and pain. Piccolo was also thinking about Goku's death. 'After we have been enemies, here I am protecting your son. I wish your death didn't come so fast. Gohan doesn't deserve growing up without a father.'

As they began to close in, Piccolo noticed something that Gohan couldn't because of his Namekian vision. 'Oh great…' Piccolo thought. Gohan began to notice something also. Both stood in mid air in shock, complete utter shock. Gohan was the first to say something. "No, this cannot be. What happen…" Gohan began to sniffle trying to search for his mother's life force.

There was nothing left of the once beautiful house in the woods. It had been blasted. All that was there were ruins. Everything was gone. There was nothing left. Gohan began to cry when he felt a very faint life force in the rubble. Gohan immediately hit the ground and began going through the rubble. He came upon his mother, almost dead. "Go-Gohan?" Chi Chi said weakly. "Mom everything is going to be ok, I am here now." Gohan said with happiness.

Piccolo knew that his mother was dying and could die any minute. If only we had some senzu beans. Even that cat died along with that fat guy.

"Go-Gohan?" "Yes mom?" "I am so happy you are alive. I thought you had died." Chi Chi said with her last happy moment. "Yes thanks to Piccolo, he saved me. Let's get you out of the rubble." Chi Chi cried out in pain. "Leave her be, she can't move." Piccolo said. "Mom we have to get you out of here!" Gohan pleaded. "Gohan listen to me. I want you to become a great fighter, and take out those Androids once and for all" Gohan was surprised. He thought that his mom would have said 'I want you to become a great teacher or doctor one day.' "Ok mom, don't worry. I will save you" Gohan said with some happiness. Chi Chi coughed. "Mom!" "Don't worry about me. Make me proud Gohan and.." Chi Chi coughed again, spewing up blood. "Mom! Noo. Are you ok…" "listen gohan, I love.." Chi Chi had a hard time saying the last three words. "I.. I.. I love.. Gohan. I love…" Chi Chi didn't do it. She continued to smile, yet her heart stop. Complete utter silence.

"Noooo!! Arg" Gohan screamed…

Gohan's eyes were full of hatred. Suddenly a huge surge of power just came out of nowhere. Piccolo eyes bulged out of his head. Gohan's power just skyrocketed. Piccolo began to feel fear. Gohan's power level was far past Freeza's and yet he wasn't a super saiyan. 'Oh crap. Uncontrollable Gohan equals not good' Gohan's power level began to subside back to normal. 'Whew, that was close' Gohan began to start crying. "Why?Why? Why is this happening to me! What did I do to deserve this?"

Piccolo spent the next several minutes watching Gohan cry. Piccolo did something that he never does. He walked over to gohan to give him a hug. The hug lasted several minutes as Gohan continued to cry.

"Gohan, crying is ok. But as hard as it is to say this, now is not the time to mourn. Its time"

"It's time for what?" Gohan said with sniffles.

Piccolo puched a hole in the ground and picked up Chi Chi. He put her body in the hole. "Remember what your mother said. She wants you to make her proud. It's time to start your training again." "whaaa?" "We are going over to Bulma's to use her Gravity room. That's where you are going to live from now on."
