He was in trouble and he knew if this kept going he was going to die. Gohan was fighting his most fearsome foe yet. It was age 796 and he was on the run from a nightmare he thought worst than even more mighty than King of the demon realm. He had already lost so much after losing Trunks to the androids he swore to get stronger to avenge his death.

He ascended to a transformation he never thought possible, a form he dubbed Super Saiyan Two. With this power he defeated the androids, but it didn't stop there. Seven years later he fought the evil Babidi and the demon lord Dabura, after a long and hard-fought battle he came out victorious and there was peace… Until a new threat that absolutely dwarfs him in power. It was chasing him across the world and he was running out of time, he made his way to Bulma's to check their last resort plan, the time machine. The plan was to go back to the past like he did all those years ago and bring back help like his younger self, Vegeta and Piccolo. But he was caught, and that monster was now holding Bulma by her coat.

"Gohan don't!" she cried out struggling in the monster's grip

"Be strong! You have to go! You have to," As she says her final words this devil prepares to blast our hero to cinders but thankfully he dodges the blast in the nick of time but the same can't be said for Bulma as she dies right in foe's hand. As he gathered his bearings he ran for Capsule corps but unfortunately for our savior he's being chased by the evil entity. Gohan quickly turned around, calling out a familiar technique he learned long ago.

"Solar Flare!" Gohan yelled as he takes this opportunity to escape to the other side of the city. He makes his way to capsule corps but his stopped as he dodges a Ki blast out of instinct. The taunting familiar voice of his father angered Gohan to no end.

"A trick like that won't work on me twice. You've been running for too long and now I'm going to choke the life out of you." As the smoke clears to reveal Goku in a black and grey gi. "I can't wait to watch you die."

Gohan stood up, analysing the situation at hand. "The building is still standing. Good that means there's still hope, the time machine is still ok. I need to make an opening for me to escape and make my way out of here. I'm this world's last hope."

"Funny you have no chance of victory, yet you continue this resistance knowing full well you can't win." Goku Black stated with a smile on his face. He continues: "You Saiyans are so fascinating in your flaws."

There was complete silence. They stared at each other waiting for the other to make the first move. Goku Black decided to end the silence to try and provoke Gohan one last time:

"Don't you see I'm helping you! Soon you'll be with him my son. With Trunks. Your miserable failure that still haunts your dreams to this day." This angered Gohan to no end. Not only his he daring to call him his son, but he dares to bring up Trunks. In turn he decided that he had enough and power up into Super Saiyan Two.

His roar echoed off the barren city, his pain and suffering reflected on his visage. The sheer power exerted spewing winds out everywhere, blowing past any buildings that were too weak to support this power crumbled to the ground.

"You're the monster here not me. You've taken what little peace this world has! You've taken everything from us! Now you'll pay!" As he charges fast, faster than he ever has and catches Goku black off guard with a sucker punch to the gut.

Goku Black spat out saliva, not expecting this speed… but this wasn't a problem for him as he quickly adjusts to this sudden increase in power. But Gohan didn't let up and continued his onslaught against this terror of the world, constantly increasing in power and speed, trying to finish with a double roundhouse to the side. Unfortunately, Goku Black blocked both hits with ease, and countered with a punch of his own.

Pushing Gohan against a building and following the attack with a kick to the face. He didn't stop there as he grabbed his face and dragged it across the ground and throwing him into a nearby building as it crumbled on top of him. Goku Black still as relentless as ever, shot a volley of dark yellow energy shots in his direction. Gohan, predicting this, quickly flew away from the attack, countering with a Tri-beam, just barely missing Goku Black's head.

This angered the possessed Saiyan, forcing him to attack Gohan with renewed vigor. The offense had been so brutal that he almost fell out of his Super Saiyan two form. Black, now satisfied now decided to end the little squabble.

"Are you finished? Considering that you mark the end of your warrior race this is a pathetic showing of you son." As he charged up a spherical yellow energy attack, intending on wiping out Gohan's life.

"Good riddance, Saiyan." Gohan, thinking fast fired a destructo disk that missed Black's torso which left him open for a Masenko on Gohan's part. Black quickly brought up his guard to block the incoming attack. Gohan took this golden opportunity to escape to Capsule Corps. He made his was downstairs and struggled to get inside the time machine.

Black now angered that his prey had escaped, flew into the sky trying to sense his target's energy.

"You think that you can escape me! Preposterous! Today will be the day you die!"

Gohan fumbled to enter the coordinates, the stress and urgency of the situation reaching a climax.

"What!" Black hissed as he watched the ship soared into the sky, trying to escape.

"See you soon Black. The next time you see me it will be your end!"

"Fool, you think that tiny ship will save you from me!?" As he powers up a black Kamehameha intending to obliterate Gohan off the face of this planet.

"It's over mortal!" As he fired the blast. Gohan panicked as he watched the energy blast thunder towards him. He could see the victorious smirk on Black's face, but just as it seemed that hope was lost, the ship churned and fired up.

The blast connect with the ship in the instant when it vanished. Gohan thought he'd be safe, however the machine started to go haywire. As he tried to analyze the problem, the ship looked like it was going to explode. Gohan acting fast, pressed all sorts of buttons hoping to save himself from the very thing that was going help him save his future.

"Warning! Warning! Now entering dimensional portal mid-travel! Brace! Brace!" Gohan fearing for his life tries to anticipate what will come next. He sees all sorts of things, a man flying through the sky in a red and blue costume, A man with a hammer fighting a green monster in an arena, and even saw himself in a strange world battling imperfect Cell. He was breath taken, but the next thing he saw was planet Earth coming into his view, he tried to brace but was too exhausted from his battle with Black that he passed out from his wounds.

The gods of Olympus have just been saved from having to start a war.

Percy Jackson had proved his innocence having to go through hell and back to get Zeus' master bolt back to his rightful owner, hell he even fought Ares to do it. They were pondering on the events that have transpired, they were discussing what it could mean, having an ancient evil using Ares as a pawn to start a war. They were having a conversation in ancient Greek when Zeus felt a disturbance in the sky.

"I feel something entering the sky from above. It's like nothing I've felt before." Zeus stated grimly, with a tint of annoyance. He opened a portal for the other gods to see and they saw a spaceship falling from orbit. Taking a closer look at the ship they saw an injured pilot.

"Why do you bother Zeus? It's simply another mortal returning from their satellites." Poseidon said wondering why a mortal could stop his brother dead in his tracks and focusing his attention only to this.

"Because he did not originate from the planet. Which means he came from the stars." Zeus claimed a bit angered that a possible extraterrestrial would enter his domain. Poseidon than came up with an idea.

"Why don't we alter its course here if your so interested with it?"

Zeus angered by the mere thought of a mortal entering Olympus questioned if Poseidon had gone mad.

"Well if it angers you why don't we make the campers interrogate our new visitor? Then you'll get the information you seek." Zeus was annoyed but made a decision.

"If I must permit this mortal entry into camp Half-blood to gather the information I seek then so be it." As Zeus moves the wind to alter the course of the ship into camp and cites an ancient saying to temporarily disable the barrier of camp Half-Blood.

Whatever happens, Poseidon knew that whoever or whatever our visitor was things were going to be interesting.

Percy had just arrived at camp half-blood after giving the lightning bolt back to Lord Zeus.

They were treated like real heros. After all they were the first half-bloods to come back from a quest alive since Luke. According to camp tradition, they wore laurel wreaths to a big feast prepared in their honor, however before they could burn their respective wreaths. A large space shuttle crash landed into the bonfire and dragged along the ground leaving a path of destruction in its wake. It kept on moving until it stopped right before the big house. Mr.D the camp director furiously marched outside to see all the campers surrounding the spacecraft with swords at the ready.

"Oh come on! I've already had a very long day of doing nothing, I don't even want to deal with this right now" He said annoyed at the mere fact that he must deal with mortals directly.

"Eject! Eject! Pilot is in danger! Eject!" The onboard computer stated as the glass quickly opened the top half of the ship opened. It launched the pilot out of the ship and straight into a particular Ares camper who was not ready for the eject. They were sent straight through the Ares cabin damaging it. Clarisse quickly shoved the injured pilot to the side and got up spear to the ready to attack. She looked back at her cabin and saw the damage and she became enraged.

She was ready to strike this intruder down for dishonoring Ares until Chiron grabbed her hand.

"Calm yourself Clarisse! An unconscious man could not have meant any harm on purpose. We must get him medical care immediately." He ordered to the other campers. Mr.D gestured to Chiron to come and have a chat in private looking livid. Percy was left confused, one minute he was being praised for his bravery and the next an astronaut comes through the portal and crash lands through camp. He left along with the other campers to understand the situation. As the injured mystery man was rushed to the infirmary Chiron appeared to ask how the pilot is doing. One of the campers responded

"He's not doing so good. He thought about giving him ambrosia but then Grover said that he doesn't smell like a demigod." She said to Chiron with a worried expression. Grover than but in the conversation to conform her fears. "She's right. I don't know how but it entered through the portal." Chiron pondered on his choice of words as he said it.

"Excuse me Grover but what do you mean by it?" He asked.

"I don't even know what that thing but it's like nothing I've ever smelled 's not a Demigod." Grover said wondering what this unknown entity even is.

"Chiron this thing shouldn't even be here. It's not a demigod and it's certainly not a minor god. We should just let him die and forget this happened. The mortals will believe he died of his wounds either way." One of the campers said.

"I have different plans for this young man. Dionysus has left for Olympus to investigate this anomaly. However that doesn't mean we shouldn't leave this man to die. He must do everything in our power to keep him alive." Chiron explained to the campers as he stared concerned at this potential monster.

Black was left enraged as Gohan disappeared out of thin air.

"Hiding again? Not for long" As he searches for Gohan's ki across the world. Black would not let his prey escape but then he encountered a problem, he couldn't find him.

"He's not here! He's completely vanished." He yelled with rage in his voice. He was enraged and decided to fly around the planet a few times to try and seek out his Ki. After approximately 30 trips around he decided to stop and gather his thoughts.

'Think. What could that ship possibly have been that i can't find him.' He tried going through memory and then he realized something huge. He gasped and yelled.

"That was a time machine! Yes of course it must be! After all he did use it prior to save the other mortals." He flew to the exact same spot his ship was located in.

"If he really did go back in time well then my time ring should pick up his trail." He said with a hint of optimism, he was going to chase this mortal all the way through time itself.

Unfortunately for Black the time ring wasn't doing anything it was glowing faintly but wasn't acting on it.

"I don't understand. My time ring should be able to find where he went. So why isn't it working?" He questioned to himself. He was running out of options and so he did the last thing that was on his mind. Wait for Zamasu and ask for help.

"This is pathetic. I let this mortal escape. If only I acted faster. He would be dead at my feet. I promise you Gohan, you will not escape. I swear it." He declared his promise to himself and continued to his log cabin in the woods.

He waited for a few days until a glowing beam of light appeared from the sky shining down upon him.

"Zamasu. You're late, I thought I summoned you to come two days ago." He said with annoyance.

"I was dealing with other planets that still had mortal life. Or did you forget our end goal after all… Zamasu. After all you're still me" He lingered with that last word and drank a sip of tea Black prepared.

"We have a problem on our hands. Gohan escaped." He said bitterly. Zamasu almost spat out his tea and yelled.

"How!? How could a god such as yourself let a mortal escape!? He yelled with anger that was obvious to anyone.

"Because I believe he used a time machine. I tried to pursue him with my time ring but it had no effect whatsoever." He replied with a calm stature.

"Well this is more complex than I originally anticipated. I only have one idea in mind if we can't find him. I think it's time we paid Zuno a little visit." He said with a devilish smile.

Zuno was the only god that they did not kill and instead opted to imprison him. After all his only purpose was that he knew everything. They needed him after all, who would tell them the location of the next planet with mortal life. 12 Universes are too big for 2 people to travel around aimlessly.

"Ah yes. That's a brilliant idea. He will tell us the location Gohan has fled to and we will snuff him out." He said joyfully.

"No you will ask Zuno the location of Gohan and clean up your mistake. I on the other hand will continue my task of killing the rest of the mortals. We are nearing completion of The Zero Mortals Plan." He said with authority as he took one last sip of his tea.

Black knew what had to be done.

"Well then this is farewell for now Zamasu. Until we meet again Gohan will be eradicated." As he put his fingers up to his forehead preparing himself for Instant Transmission

Gohan was having a nightmare in his slumber. He was reliving all of his previous battles. The battle against perfect Cell, against the androids, the demon King Dabura but most of all was Black. He couldn't stop thinking of his own weakness, even with Super Saiyan two he was absolutely no match. On top that Black didn't even know how to go Super Saiyan himself so he could be 50X stronger than he already is. The thought terrified him, he knew it would be all over. He needed to find a way to get stronger, he tried to find something beyond Super Saiyan two in the time chamber but the next step proved too much for his body to handle. Simply attempting to transform again seemed to drain him of all of his power. He decided instead to master Super Saiyan two until it took no stamina drain. It took more than eight years to do so. He only figured out how after he beat Dabura.

He tried to figure out how he was going to go back to his time. He had failed everyone he loved, Black even killed his wife Videl and his daughter Pan. They still haunt his every waking moment. Their faces that brought nothing but happiness was replaced with despair. The last thing he saw was her face crying out for help. Gohan woke up in a cold sweat screaming, gasping for air. He tried to get up but couldn't when he saw he was restrained to his bed. He then realized he was in a bed, that means someone found him. He tried to get free but found his body was incredibly weak.

"Don't even try it. Those restraints are made of the same materials that keeps Cerberus in check. You're not leaving any time soon." He heard a voice from a man in a wheelchair moving out of the shadows.

"I have a couple of questions for you before we start. What is your name?" The man asked him. Gohan pondered on the question. If he was only in better shape he could easily break these chains. He decided to answer his question instead seeing that it's his only way out. "My name is Gohan."

And so ends my first chapter of The search for a hero so go ahead and hit me with whatever feedback you have on the story so that I can make it better. Also before I go there will be no pairings, I'm not going to ship Gohan a 30 year old man with some teenagers. No thank you.
