Gohan's Second Chance
Chapter 18: A Turn for a Nightmare (The Plan and a Reunion)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSoon, riots broke out all over Ponyville.
They were all about Gohan, and if he should stay.
There were many signs, many saying: 'Don't want to be a slave? Kill Gohan'
Some were saying: 'I refuse to live with a monkey'
Some were saying: 'Don't hate the savior of Equestria'
And many, many more.
Ponies actually began to hit each other.
Gohan looked in horror out of Twilight's window.
He quickly turned to Twilight. "I can't believe that I'm causing so much violence..." He said.
"I wouldn't worry too much, the princess will handle this." Twilight said.
"I hope so..." Gohan said.

Ponyville, 7:30 PM
Many ponies were fighting over Gohan.
"He's a good guy, he saved us from Nightmare Moon and Discord! He's saved your flanks!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"He's a monster, he can destroy us all!" Another pony yelled.
"He's a weird tailless monkey!" A pony yelled.
"He ain't gonna hurt anypony!" Applejack yelled.
Celestia and Luna arrived in a carriage pulled by two solar guard pegasi.
"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! Help us find the alien!" A pony yelled.
"Everypony, halt!" Celestia called.
All the voices and ponies stopped.
Four ponies who were actually hitting each other stopped fighting.
All of the ponies stared at Celestia and Luna.
Gohan, Twilight and Spike stepped out of the Treehouse.
"There he is!" A pony shouted, jumping at Gohan.
Gohan moved out of the way, and many more ponies followed.
"HALT!" Luna yelled.
This got everyone to REALLY stop.
"We have come to address the issue of the valiant Son Gohan." Luna called.
"Yes, and we understand some of you do not want to treat Gohan as an equal. He is alien." Celestia called.
"He can destroy us all!" A pony yelled.
"However! He poses no threat, and has saved Equestria on multiple occasions. He has shown us that he cares for this land, and will break his own limits to keep it intact." Princess Luna called.
"I don't want a big karate monkey to be in the same class as my son!" A pony yelled.
"I understand. I also understand that Son Gohan does not desire to be in grade school, as he is a great deal smarter than his age leads everypony to believe. That is why Son Gohan will not attend school at the Ponyville Schoolhouse any longer. He has the credentials to attend college, which not everyone has to attend." Celestia called.
"He's going to destroy us all!" A pony yelled.
"Like we said, Son Gohan poses no threat. You all should be welcoming of Son Gohan, as are we. In fact, we have a crystal ball. This will prove if Gohan will tell the truth." Celestia said, using her magic to reveal a crystal ball.
"Son Gohan, you are to come up here!" Luna called.
Gohan flew up to the princesses, and bowed.
"Put your hand on this ball." Celestia commanded.
Gohan did just that.
"If the ball turns red, then Son Gohan cannot be trusted. If it turns green, he is trusted." Luna said.
"Say you would never go for world domination." Celestia said.
"I will never try to go for world domination." Gohan said.
The ball was green.
"Would you like to protect Equestria?" Luna asked.
"I would protect Equestria, even if it kills me." Gohan said.
The ball was green.
"This does it." Luna said.
All of the ponies in the audience respected Gohan from that point.
"Everypony, listen up! I, Princess Celestia," Celestia called.
"And I, Princess Luna," Luna called.
"Both decree, that Son Gohan becomes the sole protector of Equestria." Celestia and Luna called.
Everypony suddenly cheered for Gohan.
"This means that Son Gohan's new job is for him to protect Equestria in times of need." Celestia called.
Gohan was shocked, yet happy.
He had a new job, and he didn't have to go to school anymore!
"And, we have a great visitor for Son Gohan." Celestia called.
"And he's finally here!" A familiar voice yelled.
Goku, who had gone to Fortuneteller Baba, was able to come to Equestria, despite being dead.
He only had 24 hours.
He landed in front of a shocked Gohan.
"Hey again, Gohan!" Goku said.
"This, is the father of Son Gohan." Luna called.
'Again?' Twilight thought.
"Hi!" Goku said to the crowd.
Pinkie Pie ran up to Goku. "WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY FOR THESE TWO!" She yelled.
"And in 3, 2, 1..." Gohan muttered.
All of a sudden, everypony was at Sugarcube Corner, there was a huge party in honor of Gohan and Goku.
Goku smiled. "So, how'd we get here?" He asked Gohan.
Gohan hugged Goku. "I'm going to say magic." Gohan said.
"I'm really proud of you, Gohan. I want to stay here with you, but I only have 24 hours here." Goku said.
"HEY GOHAN! YOU AND YOUR DAD, EATING CONTEST. NOW!" Pinkie Pie yelled.
Goku and Gohan looked to see a banquet, and it was all for Goku and Gohan.
"Alright! I'm famished!" Goku said.
"It's me versus you, Dad!" Gohan said.
They both grinned at each other before diving in at the food.

Gohan was finally full, and Goku was still going at it.
"W-Well, darling. This is definitely your father..." Rarity said.
"You said it!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Who cooked all this food?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah! My compliments to the chefs!" Goku yelled, eating again.
"Some is from Pinkie Pie, and the rest is from chefs from Canterlot." Celestia said.
Pinkie Pie hopped around Goku and Gohan. "We still haven't started the games! OOH! And we haven't started the contests, and the cake! AAAAND, we also have to-" "H-Hold on, Pinkie." Gohan interrupted.
"Yeah, I'm not done eating yet!" Goku said.
***
After plenty of games, piƱata hitting, and for some reason, a second feast for Goku and Gohan, the party ended.
"Hey, I got an idea!" Rainbow Dash said, walking out of Sugarcube Corner with the Mane 6, Goku and Gohan.
"What is it?" Goku asked.
"Why don't you two have a fight?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"U-Us?" Gohan asked
Goku chuckled. "You mean like old times, Gohan?" He asked.
"I mean, I have been training..." Gohan said.
"Yeah, why don't we see Gohan's match? His dad?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I believe we have an arena for such things." Luna said.
"Maybe tomorrow, it is very late." Celestia said.
"Where do you guys live?" Goku asked.
"We live over there, in Canterlot." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Canterlot.
Goku put two fingers to his head.
He was sensing where Canterlot would be. Especially Celestia's palace.
"I got a read on where you two live." Goku said.
"W-What?" Twilight asked.
"Everyone grab on to me." Goku said.
Gohan and Spike put their hand on Goku, the princesses, the Mane 6 and the very tired solar guard put their hoof on Goku.
In an instant, they were in the palace.
All of the ponies were surprised.
"W-What is this?" Luna asked.
"It's my Instant Transmission. Learned it on Planet Yardrat." Goku said, smiling.
"T-This is..." Fluttershy mumbled.
"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash finished.
Goku chuckled. "Do you really want to fight again, son?" He asked.
"Well, I guess. I want to see if you've trained as well." Gohan said.
"That settles it. Tomorrow morning, we will put you two in the arena. This can be a learning experience for you, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia joked.
"You will sleep in those rooms." Luna said, pointing a hoof at 3 rooms with tons of beds.
'I can actually see Gohan's limits against his dad, probably.' Twilight thought.
"I'm surprised you could do that, Son Goku." Celestia said.
"I have experience. Heh." Goku said.
"Well, surely you two can give us a show tomorrow." Applejack said.
"We'll just have to see." Twilight said.
