It had been two days since Gohan had stepped out of the chamber, completed his final examination of the Turtle School and the first proper family meal since before Raditz had turned up and changed his life forever. That meal, with Grandpa Ox, his Mom and Dad just showed him exactly what his drive was. What he was fighting to protect in the coming tournament. Despite knowing this Gohan knew, that there was two more people to add to that list. Tien's partner and his daughter. 'My betrothed, Kami that's still weird to think' Gohan shook his head clearing out his latest thoughts.

The sun was just coming up over the adjacent mountain range, bathing the large valley where his house sat in a golden light and a surreal warmth. Gohan's perch on the mountain top was a small plateau, just large enough for one of Bulma's jet copters to land and was the perfect place for Gohan's morning meditation. Hearing slight movement to his right, Gohan looked over to see a lilac coloured dragon snoozing away a couple of feet from him. Chuckling, Gohan stood up and stretched out his joints to ease the stiffness from being in the lotus position for so long.

Although, these past couple of days have been meant for rest, Gohan has spent 3 hours every morning before sunrise meditating in a suppressed SS2, forcing his body not only to acquire an equilibrium in the second Super Saiyan state like the first transformation state but also to help balance out the energy consumption.

The Second Super Saiyan transformation is a lot like the first, it amplifies your core strength, speed, senses and energy output. However, unlike the first this ascended state causes such a multiplier that your own internal energy is manifested in a form of Bio-electricity that flares often in the aura that surrounds your body, which unfortunately drains unnecessary energy from your reserves. 'If my body can become accustomed to the increase in power, then it should eventually stop wasting my energy levels on my aura. It does look quite intimidating though. I should get back for breakfast, before Mom shouts at me again'

With this thought Gohan turned back to the dragon "Icarus, I'm heading home now. Behave yourself, Okay?" Icarus just lifted his head to look at the young demi-saiyan, warbled in his throat then went back to his morning snooze. Gohan chuckling to himself once more he lifted off the ground, and then shot off towards his house, taking a leisurely flight over the green meadows and the acres of forests. Coming up to his home he drops back down to the basic Super Saiyan state, landing outside his front door, he steps in to be assaulted with smells coming from the kitchen.

"Morning, Son. You're just in time, your mother's about to start dishing up." Goku greeted from the dining room table, sporting a white vest top and his boxers.

"Morning Dad, Morning Mom." Gohan sat at the table besides his father, looking into the kitchen area he saw a sight that was indeed rare. His mother was cooking in her bath robe, a pair of slippers and her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail. Chichi, was a woman who was up before the sun, dressed and ready for the day from her days as living in the Ox castle before it was burned before Gohan was born, so this site shocked him.

"Morning sweetheart, breakfast is almost ready. Would you be a dear and get some drinks for the table?" Chichi asked without turning from the stove. Gohan raised back out of the chair and made his way to the fridge to grab the cold fresh juices and placed them in the centre of the table just as his mother started transferring the food from the kitchen top to the dining table.

"Well boys, dig in." Chichi announced

After the large assortment of foods had been devoured the three were still sitting at the table in a comfortable silence and a state of euphoria from the heavenly prepared foods of the Ox princess.

"Now, Gohan. As you may remember today is the day that Tien is bringing over his partner and their daughter. I wanted to go over a few ground rules when they arrive" Chichi spoke in a calm and polite manner, despite giving off the vibes that the silent threat of 'Follow what I say to the letter or else' was enough to make both the Saiyans present at the table shudder and sit up straighter.

"When they arrive, you are to be polite and courteous to our guests, even though you know Tien well from your time with your father we have yet to meet his partner or his daughter, so you are to be a gentleman at all times. Goku? Has he ever mentioned who his partner is? Or if they're even married?" Chichi continued.

Looking to be in deep thought before shaking his head "No, he hasn't mentioned anything of the sort. I haven't seen a ring on his finger either, but I don't wear my ring either" Goku answered before scratching his head. Chichi looked on in surprise at her husband as he stood from the table and walked down the hallway to their room.

'Huh, wonder where Dad's going?' Gohan thought as he watched Goku disappear around the corner of the hallway. Hearing his mother clear her throat he tuned back to look at her.

"When they arrive Gohan, we will spend some time all together for introductions and pleasantries then I want you to take her outside whilst I cook dinner and speak with her parents. We have some details we need to talk about before we can bring them up with the pair of you, okay sweetie" Chichi explained

"Okay Mum, I will. What happens if she doesn't like me though? Or freaks out by what I can do and what I am?" Gohan started to panic, Chichi seeing this stood from her chair and quickly made it in front of her son who was now looking down at his clasped hands in his lap.

"Gohan, you need to stop worrying about those kinda things. There is nothing wrong with who and what you are. You're perfect to me and your father and we love you so very much. Besides, Tien is one of the few of your father's friends who has any sort of common sense besides Bulma, so surely, he would have thought of this and explained a little to his daughter to prevent such a freak out, Okay?" Chichi reassured him as Goku came back into the room now dressed in a black sleeved orange jacket, white shirt and beige trousers bare footed whilst carrying a pair of maroon red trainers.

"Your Mothers right Son, when I spoke to Tien to arrange this, I asked what he had told her, and he told me that he's explained a little bit of our heritage, that I'm an alien and your Mums a princess. Apparently, she didn't bat and eye lid at it, just kept on smiling and wanted to know when she got to meet you" Goku explained, stopping at the sofa in the front room he sat down and became putting on his trainers and lacing them up.

"Do you know when she was told all of that Goku?" Chichi asked, keeping her hands on Gohan's shoulders

"From how Tien explained it, it was around the time he got back from King Kai's place but before Frieza and me had gotten back from space" Goku answered without interrupting what he was previously doing.

"See Gohan, that was 3 years ago and She's coming here tonight. If she had freaked out over your heritage, I doubt she would be coming here at all" Chichi smiled warmly at her son, who had finally looked up wearing a smile of his own

"You're right, thanks Mum" Gohan stood up and hugged his Mum, after stepping out of the embrace he walked towards Goku on the sofa "Dad? Are we going to the lookout today to sort out the Dragon ball's?" Gohan asked, now standing before his father.

"That's right son, you ready?" Goku responded, closing the gap between the two, placing his hand upon the younger Saiyan's shoulder. Seeing his son nod in response, he raised his hand to his forehead, looked at his wife and smiled. Then in a blink of an eye the two Super Saiyan's had moved from their front room to the white tiled top of kami's lookout. Looking around they found no one present so they began to walk into the covered area of the lookout, only to be intercepted by the Namekian warrior, Piccolo.

"Goku. Gohan, I thought I sensed the two of you. What are you doing here?" Piccolo asked whilst walking towards them, stopping just a few yards away and crossing his arms across his chest.

"Well, with the Cell games coming up and not currently having any Dragon ball's we wanted to see what we can do to solve our little dilemma." Goku responded, running his hand through his spikey golden locks. Suddenly, Goku's eyes widened, smiling Goku asked "Piccolo, do you know where New Namek is? Surely someone there would help us out after everything, I mean I know Nail and Kami are a part of you now but maybe they passed that knowledge on?"

"Goku, Nail fused with me on Old Namek and Kami hasn't left the Earth since he originally came here all those years ago. Neither of them would know the location of New Namek." Piccolo grunted

"Perhaps, The Northern Kai might be able to assist you since he was communicating with Kami when you were on Old Namek facing Frieza. He may be able to point you in the direction of the New Namekian home world" Mr. Popo spoke as he walked up from behind the Namekian.

"That's a brilliant Idea, Mr. Popo. I'll go see King Kai, see if he can help." Goku thanked the mysterious genie. Raising his hand to conduct the I.T technique, he stopped midway, turning to his son "Gohan, wanna come with? You can meet King Kai and maybe he can explain the Spirit Bomb better than I could."

"If that's alright Dad, maybe I could even come with to New Namek. It'd be great to see Dende again" Gohan answered.

"It's settled then, be back soon guys" Goku said, and with that they had vanished from the top of the lookout to reappear moments later, on the miniature world of the Northern Kai. Unfortunately, the landing wasn't the greatest as they had reappeared in the middle of a game of chase between Bubbles and Gregory, leaving the four of them on the floor.

"Ugh, Bubbles. Can you get off my head please?" Goku asked the monkey, turning to his son "You okay, Gohan?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." Gohan answered in earnest, looking down he saw the large cricket looking up at him with confusion. Then the cricket flew backwards off his chest, looked between Gohan and Goku and visibly sagged his shoulders.

"Goku? What are you doing here? Are you dead again? And who's this with you? He looks like a mini you?" Gregory fired off his questions. As Goku picked himself off the floor and made sure Gohan was okay, he turned to answer his questions. Before he could answer the cricket, another voice stopped him.

"Goku?" The Northern Kai questioned as he walked out of his house, the commotion bringing his attention to his new guests. Looking his guests up and down, he continued "So this is what the fabled Super Saiyan transformation looks like, speed and strength increased. Interesting. So Goku, how'd you die this time? I didn't sense a threat on Earth, besides Cell that is."

"Oh, I'm not dead King Kai. I came here to ask you if you could point me in the direction of New Namek? Since Kami has fused with Piccolo, the Dragon balls have turned to stone I was hoping someone there would come and take over the role of Kami." Goku replied, brushing off any dirt from his clothes.

"I'm not a telephone directory, Goku. But yeah sure I can point you in the direction you need. Before I do, you've yet to introduce me to your guest" King Kai teased with the elder saiyan.

"Oh, right. Sorry about that, everyone this is my son, Gohan. Gohan, this is King Kai, Bubbles the monkey and Gregory the cricket" Goku introduced everyone pointing at each person as he introduced them.

"THIS is Gohan? You look remarkably different than your time on Namek, not to mention your power levels. If I'm right youre stronger than your old man" King Kai spoke as he approached the younger Son boy. Gohan blushing under the praise, nodded his head in agreement.

"Thank you, sir. Dad trained me in the Hyperbolic Time chamber and I managed to ascend to the level beyond a Super Saiyan. He's also taught me some of the techniques he learnt under you like the Kaio-ken and the Spirit Bomb, but I haven't been able to do the Spirit Bomb yet." Gohan answered the North Kai, bowing slightly when he spoke of his failure with the Spirit Bomb.

The North Kai, turned to Goku "You've taught him the Kaio-ken and started on the Spirit Bomb? Does the Kaio-ken work with the multiplier of the Super Saiyan transformation?"

"Yeah, Gohan's a sponge for information. He's even graduated from Master Roshi. We've both been able to use the Kaio-ken in these forms, but it takes up a lot of energy, the best I've been able to do is use it in bursts but even that leaves me winded. Unfortunately, Gohan has yet to be able to use the Kaio-ken in his transformed state, let alone his ascended state" Goku explained

Turning back to the younger saiyan, the northern Kai spoke "Gohan, before I send you both on your way to New Namek, I would like to make a request. I would like to see you attempt the Kaio-ken in all three of your states, maybe I can help you where your father couldn't. Then I'll teach you to do the Spirit Bomb correctly. What d'ya say young man?"

"That would be amazing, sir. Thank you" Gohan bowed to the Northern Kai.

"I like this kid, he actually shows manners, unlike some other brute we know" Gregory piped up from the side of the conversation. Gohan again blushed under the praise whilst Goku just chuckled as he went and sat down on the nearby bench, leaving King Kai to instruct his son.

"So, shall we start then. Let's start with your normal state and work our way up, that way we can see the effects my technique has on each state, hmm?" King Kai proposed, taking a few steps back to give Gohan enough space so he doesn't get himself blown away. Seeing Gohan drop to his base form, golden hair and teal eyes darkening to their natural onyx black. Slipping into a loose horse stance, Gohan powers up the Kaio-ken at base power. Letting the amplified energy wash over him, as the young saiyan completed the technique and stood there in the red glow of the Kaio-ken. Seeing that Gohan had achieved the standard technique he asked Gohan "What's the highest you've achieved at your base state"

Gohan, looked at the Kai in deep thought before answering "20 times is the maximum I've achieved, as that's whats Dad has managed to do and he showed me how"

"So, you haven't tried anything higher, hmm?" The Kai replied, scratching his chin. "Okay then. Let's see the differences in your Super Saiyan state". Gohan nodded, dropping out of the Kaio-kens glowing aura to suddenly flare to life in his golden aura of the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation. King Kai, watching Gohan intensely noted that the transformation adds a similar state of amplification to their energy. "Whenever you're ready Gohan". Nodding again, the red aura flares over the top of the golden aura creating a two layered aura, that blended into a vibrant orange where the two auras overlapped one another. Noting that Gohan was struggling to keep it maintained, he gestured for him to drop the enhanced technique. Thinking to himself he pondered on the effects of what to energy multipliers could do to a person's body.

"Hmmm, it seems like that having two states of energy amplification is causing an increased strain on young Gohan's body. How are you feeling Gohan?" King Kai asked

"A little winded"

"Hmm, got enough to attempt it in your ascended state?" The northern Kai questioned, receiving a nod from the young Super Saiyan. King Kai paid close attention to Gohan as he proceeded to power up and transform into the Ascended state of a Super Saiyan. "That's remarkable, THIS is the Ascended state you mentioned previously? Such raw power"

"Yeah, this form is still fairly new to me. I've been meditating in it to hopefully get adjusted to the new form. I've already noticed an improvement in my mood and thoughts, they're no longer clouded with anger and violence." Gohan answered the Kai whilst looking at his hands, as his golden aura flared around him, the bio-electricity sparking harmlessly in the glow.

"Hmm, since the initial transformation for your father was anger after Krillin's death, I'm not entirely surprised you suffered with that issue. However, you seem to have it under control so shall we wrap up here. Then have you off to New Namek in a flash" King Kai answered before snickering and covering his mouth, trying to hide his laughter. His audience just looked at him confused.

"Ya know, flash? Like his aura flashing into existence?" Not hearing any laughter, He continued "You people have no sense of humour". Gesturing with his hand, He signalled Gohan to proceed.

Gohan closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on the Kaio-ken technique, the red flare sparked into life as his energy sky-rocketed, before completely dispersing and Gohan no longer able to hold the Super Saiyan transformation dropped to his base state and lost his balance. Landing on his rear, sweat dripping off his brow and struggling for breath, he looked up to the Northern Kai hovering over him, concern filling his eyes.

"Are you okay Gohan?" Goku asked as he stepped closer to be side by side the Kai. Gohan, regulated his breathing before smiling and standing back up. Nodding in reply, he brushed off the dirt from his clothes.

"I'm Okay Dad"

"Good to hear, Kiddo"

"Hmmm, I think I know what the problem is" This gained the two Saiyans attention to the North Kai, seeing he had their attention he continued "The Super Saiyan transformation comes with it an energy multiplier, so stacking the Kaio-Ken multiplier on top is a very risky moves as it could cause your body to burn up all of your energy in an instant. The reason you can perform the technique in the regular Super Saiyan state is due to the multiplier not being as substantial as the Ascended state. Although, it could be doable at a later point when your body becomes more accustomed to the Ascended state, I would recommend you avoid trying it for quite some time"

"Huh, guess that would explain why it's harder to maintain the technique whilst Super Saiyan" Goku answered "Well Gohan, guess we need to be careful whilst training that technique, huh?" Goku chuckled down to his son, scratching the back of his head.

"Now Gohan, the Spirit Bomb. Since you have a strong understanding of how to perform the Kaio-ken this technique will be relatively simple for you. The power that you use to trigger the Kaio-ken, comes from within yourself and used internally. The Spirit Bomb is the reverse, it is an attack that gathers the energy from the surrounding area into one focused point that hardens and then becomes malleable by the energy of the user. To collect that energy, you must firstly spread your own energy out around you and then draw it back in, bringing with it the natural energy around you. Of course, other energy users can supply their own internal energy to you as well, thus buffing the energy input. Do you follow Gohan?" King Kai explained.

"Yes, I understand what you mean sir. You use your own internal energy to control the natural energy around you into the point of focus, therefore allowing you to control the energy that's been collected as your own energy has been mixed into it as a catalyst"

King Kai, Goku, Gregory and Bubbles just stared at the younger Saiyan, nothing but silence followed until Goku started chuckling "Hahaha, I told you King Kai, Gohan is a sponge when it comes to this kinda stuff"

King Kai coughing into his hand "Yes, well at least we know he didn't get his smarts from you. I remember it took you months just to learn one of my techniques and yet your son has learned both in half that time. Very well, moving on. New Namek." King Kai searched for their energy signatures, his antennae moving to lock on to the signal. After a few terse minutes, he smiled "Ah, there you are. Goku if you follow my directions, it's in that general direction. It's the fourth galaxy deep, past the dying star and it's the third planet in the system, got it?" King Kia directed

"Uh-huh, so that's the planet you found. Gohan, Let's go!" Goku cheered. Gohan walked over to his father, stepping in front of King Kai, bowing.

"Thank you, King Kai, for all your help"

"You're welcome young man, squash that bug" King Kai smiled

"Thanks again King Kai, see you all again soon" Goku spoke softly before placing his hand on his son's shoulder, and once again disappearing from their audiences' sight.

New Namek came into view for the two Saiyans, the lush blue grass and tress the green sky looming over them and the familiar smell of the planet they had once traversed assaulted their senses. Looking around they found they was on a small cluster of islands in the large ocean away from the mainland of the planet. "It's just I remember, just no evil Emperor killing everyone this time." Goku commented, looking down at his son who was still observing the area around him. Extending his senses, he found the few large settlements went that far from each other nor where they far from their location. Capitalising on his son's distraction he quickly transmitted the pair of them into the heart of the settlement closest to them. As they had arrived, they had been surrounded by three Namekians, all in fighting stances.

"Who are you? And Why have to come to our planet?" One of the Namekians surrounding them commanded

Not seeming at all put off from their hostility the elder Saiyan spoke "Hi there, my names Goku and this is my son Gohan. We came here hoping to speak with Moori, we need a favour of him"

The three Namekians instantly dropped their stances and relaxed as the same fighter from before answered the pair "You're Goku? The Saviour Saiyan? The one that defeated Frieza?"

"Uh-huh" Goku smiled

"Forgive us, we sensed your power levels and we were concerned some of Frieza's men had found us once more. Please this way, I will take you to Grand Elder" As they all started walking towards the large white structure that seemed to be built in the heart of the village, the lead Namekian turned to one of his men and whispered something to him which sent the second Namekian sprinting off through the buildings and crowds.

As they came up to the structure, the guards outside the door tensed before relaxing after a hand gesture from the lead Namekian. "Grand Elder! Our Saviour has returned!" This drew the attention of all the Namekians in the vicinity as they started to crowd around the group

From the structure came the familiar form of Moori, garbed in the traditional white robed trousers, white ruffled neck scarf, however he had changed the colour of the vest he wore. Where he once wore a red vest, this new one was orange with blue stripes that ran from his shoulders to his waist line. He approached the Saiyans, smiling the whole way. "Greetings Goku! And young Gohan as well! We must celebrate, the arrival of two heroes to our race!"

"Sorry Moori, we can't stay long. We're kinda in a rush, but we'll definitely come back sometime soon and celebrate with you then." Goku declined, seeing Moori falter a little bit he went to continue but a loud shout from the crowd stopped him

"GOHAN!" Out from the crowd came a young Namekian, that just about came up to Goku's waist line and slammed straight into Gohan sending the two to the floor. Gohan surprised from the tackle looked down to the form that had slammed into him to find a very familiar face looking back at him.

"Gohan, it's so good to see you, I didn't think we would ever see each other again" The young Namekian rambled

"So Gohan, who's your friend?" Goku asked looking down smiling at the pair.

"This is Dende, he's the one that healed Vegeta and Krillin whilst you were recovering in the ship" Gohan answered

Goku chuckled as he watched the pair get back to their feet, turning back to the Elder before him "Moori, we need your help. Our Planet is currently under threat from a being known as Cell, he's stronger and more ruthless than Frieza ever was. To help turn the tides our Planet's Guardian Kami, has fused with Piccolo giving him the strength to fight on an even field. However, this has now made our planets Dragon Balls useless, is there a way we can revive the Dragon Balls?" Goku explained, Moori looking deep in thought before shaking his head,

"No, the only way for the Dragon balls to be returned to their normal state is if a trained Namekian bonds their life energy to the form of your Dragon. There are a few of my people that are trained in this manner, if you…."

"I'LL DO IT"

Everyone looked to the owner of the voice. Young Dende was standing there besides Gohan, right arm and foot forward with determination on his face.

"I'll do it Grand Elder, I have completed my training to create Dragon Balls and I also know a lot of the fighters on Planet Earth personally as I helped them when Frieza came to our planet. Please Elder, allow me this request!" Dende argued. Moori just stood there speechless before he started quietly chuckling, which grew in volume till it was heard throughout the murmuring crowd. Moori walked towards Dende and crouched down before him, looking him in the eye with a smile across his aged and wrinkled face.

"Dende. You were the top candidate I was going to put forward to Goku for the very reasons you had stated, as well as I know much you have missed Earth's culture and your friends Gohan here, and Krillin. Run along and gather your things, whilst I arrange some items for you to take with you for your posting" Moori explained, once he had stood back up Dende had ran back off through the crowds to do as requested of him. "Well Goku, I hope this solves your dilemma. I trust you'll take good care of Dende for us, and please bring him back with you when you come for the feast. The offer is open anytime to you and your comrades.

"We will Moori, thank you so much and we'll be sure to visit once we've taken care of Cell" Goku replied. With that Moori, turned around and walked into the large structure from once he came. Gohan was just looking up at his father with confusion on his face.

"Dad? When did you meet Moori? I didn't think you knew him at all?" Gohan asked.

"I don't really know him, I spoke with Piccolo about Moori when I had returned from Yardrat. He told me what he knew from the time he spent with them whilst the Dragon Balls were recharging and from the memories, he had gained from one of the warriors from Namek. I believe his name was Nail. Piccolo mentioned that Moori had held an interest into me for being a Saiyan that had defended his planet and defeated Frieza. It's more than likely how he recognised me as we arrived" Goku explained.

"That's right Goku" Moori spoke up from behind Goku "I had spoken with your friends whilst on Earth as I was curious why a Saiyan would fight for my people, they had told me of your adventures from your youth and showed me pictures of you. They even gave me one of your schools Gi's to allow us to express our gratitude on our new home." As Moori finished Dende came rushing back with a canvas bag tied to his back.

"I'm ready Elder"

"Good. Here Dende, inside this sack are copies of texts that will help you in your new role as well as some new scrips to allow you to further your training." Moori smiled as he handed Dende a similar sized bag as to what was on his back. Dende bowed in thanks and then suddenly surged forward taking the Elder Namekian in a hug. "We will see each other again soon young one, be safe"

"I will. Thanks again Elder" Dende replied breaking the hug. Stepping over to the two Saiyans, he bowed once more "Thank you for allowing me to come with you"

"Don't worry about it Dende, you're really saving our necks with this" Goku chuckled, placing both his hands on the shoulders of his two companions.

He focused his attentions on Earth's lookout, then committed his energy to make the jump home. Reappearing on the white tiled flooring of the Lookout with the bright blue skies high above and the sun beaming down on them, a small breeze came over the wind ruffling up the clothes of the three travellers. Dende, eyes wide open and constantly darting his head around taking in the new site of the Lookout, before finally resting on that of the fused Namekian Piccolo. Sensing his old friends Nail's energy in him as well as another, he marvelled at the strength he now possessed, to then looking at the rotund genie standing next to him. Overcome with shyness he side stepped a little to be behind Goku.

"Hey guys, we're back" Goku greeted waving at the pair watching them

"We can see that Goku" came the gruff voice of Piccolo "We also see you have a guest hiding behind your leg"

At this Goku looked down behind him to see Dende, looking up at him warily gripping his sack tightly in his grip. Goku kneeling in front of the young Namekian, gently urged him forward with a hand on his back.

"You have nothing to be afraid of Dende. You know Piccolo. The man next to him is Mr. Popo, he's the caretaker of the Lookout. He served alongside Kami, our old Guardian and wouldn't be surprised if he's served more. The man is a mystery to me. He'll be able to help you with settling in" Goku encouraged, Gohan beside him nodding fervently in agreement.

"Greetings, young one. What is you name" The Genie asked as he approached the travellers

"Dende"

"Are you here to take on the mantle of Earth's Guardian of Kami?"

Dende, stepping back into view of everyone answered with a simple nod of the head. Seeing this the genie turned around and walked back into the large chambered building, to return mere moments later with a glass domed container, with a large stone dragon inside nestled on a plush looking cushion.

"This here is a statue of the Dragon of Earth, Shenron. With this you will be able to revive the now dormant Dragon Balls that are scattered around the globe." Mr. Popo placed the container just in front of Dende.

Taking notice of how intricately the statue had been carved, left Dende too shocked for words. Shaking his head out, He stepped closer to the container, raised out his arms over the container.

"Are there any changes you would like to make to the Dragon?" Dende asked.

"Could we get multiple wishes, and maybe multi resurrections?" Goku asked from behind the little Namekian

"Of course, however that will drain power from the Dragon's power nullifying his ability to perform certain wishes."

"Oh? What wishes would those be then?" Mr. Popo asked, curious as to the affect's changes had upon the Dragon's abilities.

"They would be what my people call the Godly Tier wishes, such as Immortality, Invulnerability, to have the power of the Dragon or Dragon's abilities. These wishes could be currently performed on this form of Shenron, but with the changes He won't be able to make these wishes again, whilst also nullifying any of these wishes He's made in the past." Dende explained

"Huh, at least we won't have another Garlic Junior incident. The Kami in me is still pissed about that whole thing." Piccolo grunted off from the side.

"I remember that, didn't he get trapped in another realm or something?" Gohan asked from besides Goku.

"Well, you should remember that Kid. You were the one that threw him into the Dead zone. Both times might I add." Piccolo added

"Any more changes before I resurrect Shenron?" Dende questioned, hearing a chorus of "No" and "Nope" He began charging the spectral energy into his hand which will link him to the Dragon, the Dragon statue started glowing in turn with the glow of Dende's hands, the glow fading and brightening in sync with each other before a large blinding light encompassed the lookout.

Once the light had faded, and the small group could once again see. They noticed that the statue of the Dragon, that was once being held in an enclosed container was gone. Silence reigned supreme on the lookout as the reality of what just happened settled in for the fighters.

It was Dende that broke the silence after a few minutes "Shenron has been resurrected and the Dragon Balls are now ready to be used. Mr. Popo, is there anywhere I can sit down? Linking to a Dragon takes a lot out of me"

The large genie jumps right to it "Of course Dende, right this way and why don't I fix us some Tea so we can get acquainted" Mr. Popo started leading the young Namekian away inside, before Dende stopped and turned back.

"If I don't see you before, make sure to give Cell hell. I think I'm going to enjoy my time here" Dende spoke with a massive smile across his features.

"You got it Dende" Goku replied, before looking down to his son "We better get back before your mother throws a fit" Raising his hand towards his forehead, before pausing with his hand a foot from his face, before lowering it back to his side "Gohan? Why don't you take us back buddy?" Goku suggested.

Gohan, surprised at his fathers request "Me? But Dad, I didn't fully manage the technique when we were inside the chamber"

"Of course, son, and you'll do fine. Besides, theres other Ki signatures for you to detect. Not like the ones that are scrambled inside the chamber. Just remember what I taught you, and focus." Goku replied, with full faith in his son filtering through his speech.

Nodding his head and grabbing his fathers' hand with his own left. Gohan closed his eyes and focussed his Ki, briefly scanning the planet and located the familiar warm Ki that is his mothers. 'Encompass yourself and those with you in your Ki, whilst focussing your Ki into where you want to be. I can do this.' With that thought alone the pair vanished from the Lookout, and reappeared mere feet outside their home.

"Congratulations Gohan you did it! Didn't I tell you, now let's get inside be…." Goku was cut off by the slamming of the front door and a screeching voice.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!" Chichi stormed up to the pair in a fury "You've kept our guests waiting for over an hour!"

"Chichi, calm down. We're sorry, we must've lost track of time between seeing King Kai to getting Dende and the Dragon revived" Goku tried to reason with his with, whilst Gohan just chipped in with a "Sorry Mom"

Chichi's facial expression softened "Well, okay then, since you boys got Shenron back and you're both okay. Now, head inside Tien and his family are already here. Gohan, go introduce yourselves to Tien's family then run along for a bit whilst the grownups talk, okay sweetie?"

"Okay Mom"

As the small Son family walked back inside, with Goku and Chichi in front with Gohan following behind. As Gohan entered the home and saw past his parents he saw Tien, the tall monk wearing the most amount of clothes he's ever seen him in. Wearing his usual green trousers and red sashed belt, but instead of the half green top, he is wearing a smart short sleeved yellow button shirt tucked into his sash. Next to him, were two people he has never seen before but judging with how his Dad was smiling at the older women of the pair, he knew her. She was around Chichi's height, with long blue hair that had about two inches of blonde ends from the tips, that had been pulled into a neat ponytail with a red ribbon, wearing a green tank top and long beige jeans.

Suddenly realising who this was from his Dad's stories from when he was a child, this was their friend Launch. But didn't she only have single coloured hair from his fathers' stories, shaking himself from his muses, he looked at the young girl in front of Tien and Launch. Who had long blonde hair pulled into pigtails that sat on either side of her head, the biggest blue eyes staring at him with a smile that could put his fathers to shame 'This is the girl who I'm betrothed to? She's really pretty' Gohan blushed at his thoughts and stepped forward "I'm Son Gohan, it's nice to meet you and It's good to see you again Tien"

"It's good to see you again Gohan. Allow me to introduce you to my partner, Launch. I'm sure you've heard of her from your parents, especially your fathers' stories from when we were younger." Tien introduced

Launch stepped round her family to come up to Gohan and crouch in front of him "Hello Gohan, it's nice to meet you too. You really are your father's son aren't cha? You look just like him! Except the blonde hair of course. Hehehe" Launch wrapped her arms around Gohan swallowing him into a hug "We're family now kiddo" Launch just giggled as she let go of the young Super Saiyan ".. and this is my daughter and your fiancé" She gestured for her daughter to step forward and come closer

The young girl was standing just mere feet from Gohan, the smile never leaving her face and the adoration never leaving her eyes "Hello Son Gohan, I'm Erasa Shinhan. I've been waiting so long to meet you" and with that she threw herself forward grappling Gohan into a hug, with her head on his chest and arms around his waist.

AN- Hello Everyone, sorry for the long delay It's been a nightmare for me to try and get words down on paper. Especially trying to make everything flow properly. As usual, any mistakes on grammar or spelling let me know and I'll correct it.
