Gohan's Second Chance
Chapter 21: Goku's Final Goodbye
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Alright Gohan!" Goku cheered.
Gohan had mastered the multi-form technique. Not completely, it still halves his power with each copy.
"Yes!" The four Gohans said.
"It took a few hours, but you finally did it!" Goku said.
"Yeah, and- Oh. That's right." The Gohans said as they formed one being again.
"You're leaving soon." Gohan said.
"Oh. That's right. Baba will yell at me if I'm not at the Lookout in about an hour!" Goku said.
"You have to say goodbye to my friends, Dad!" Gohan said.
"I'm already on it. Grab on." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead.
***
"Fluttershy!" Gohan called.
"I-I'm here!" Fluttershy said, frantically running out of the kitchen.
"Be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before they teleported away.
Fluttershy was left confused, but left her cottage to do just that.
***
Applejack was in the fields, planting seeds.
Goku and Gohan appeared in front of her.
"Applejack, go to the center of Ponyville." Gohan said before they just teleported away again.
"What?" She asked, but it was too late.
Applejack did as she was told, and started trotting towards Ponyville.
***
"Rarity, I need you to be at the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before they teleported again.
"Excuse me, for wha-" Rarity said before realizing Gohan was gone.
She began trotting towards the center of Ponyville.
***
"Rainbow Dash, go to the center of Ponyville, now!" Gohan said before teleporting away.
"Alright, why-" Rainbow Dash said as she laid on her cloud before realizing Gohan left.
She flew towards Ponyville.
***
"Pinkie, get out of that trash can, and I need you to be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before teleporting away.
"Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping towards Ponyville.
***
"Twilight, and Spike if you want to, go to the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before teleporting away.
"Uh... Okay, Spike, let's go!" Twilight said.
Spike groaned. "Fine."
***
Already, the Mane 6 and Spike were at the town's center.
They were voicing their final goodbyes to Goku.
"I have to get back to the afterlife, it was fun meeting you all!" Goku said.
"Whenever you come back, just come to us and we'll feed ya!" Applejack joked, and laughed soon after.
Everyone else laughed with her.
"Ah... Yeah... When will you be back?" Pinkie Pie asked.
Goku only looked at Pinkie Pie with his smile. "Hey... Let's not worry about that now." He said.
"So y-you'll be back?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'll try." Goku said.
"Anyway, thanks for taking care of my son for all this time, you guys. I know I say it often, but it means a lot. It was nice to meet you in person, and not through a dead guy." Goku joked.
"It's not a problem!" Rainbow Dash said.
"He's an absolute angel, just like you!" Rarity said.
Goku chuckled at that.
"He will never lose our support." Fluttershy said.
"We'll be at his side for every twist and turn!" Twilight said.
"I'll throw even more parties for him!" Pinkie Pie yelled.
"He's practically part of the Apple family! Don't worry, Mr. Goku." Applejack said.
"I trust you all. After all, the Elements of Harmony have to wielded by some ponies." Goku said.
"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.
"And you." Goku said, facing Gohan.
"Yes, Dad?" Gohan asked.
"You better train harder with those. You'll be even stronger than me one day! Well, again." Goku said.
"I will! I won't let you down, Dad!" Gohan said.
"Alright. I'm going back now. Thanks again!" Goku said.
"Dad, wait." Gohan said, facing the ground. Nobody could see his tears.
"What's wrong Gohan?" Goku asked.
He looked back up at Goku. "I'm really going to miss you." Gohan said.
Goku placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "You'll meet me in the afterlife, Gohan. Don't worry, I won't stop contacting you." He said with a smile.
"B-But..." Gohan sobbed.
Goku gestured for a hug, and Gohan took it, crying into his shirt.
"I know you don't want me to leave you again because I'm dead, but all you can do is cope." Goku said.
"It's alright, sugarcube. He'll keep watch over ya." Applejack said.
"Yeah, she's not lying." Goku said.
Gohan finally stopped sobbing. He looked up at Goku with tearful eyes.
"Gohan, I won't stop watching over you. Just know I haven't turned on you..." Goku said.
He referenced what happened after the Cell Games.
"Alright. I love you, Dad." Gohan said, wiping his tears.
"I love you too, Gohan. Bye!" Goku said, instant transmissioning away.
"I will never understand how you work Gohan." Rainbow Dash joked.
"How so?" Gohan asked.
"Your dead dad just visited for a day, how is that not confusing enough!?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I guess." Gohan said.
"Well, what are we to do now?" Twilight asked.
"Why don't we tour my awesome house?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"We can't fly, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said.
"Oh, I know how we can do that!" Gohan said.
"How?" Twilight asked.
Gohan performed the multi-form technique, creating four copies of Gohan.
The others looked in shock.
"Shocked?" The Gohans asked.
"I-I have not seen cloning before, but this is just as good! I guess we can tour Rainbow Dash's house." Twilight said.
"You do that, I'm going home." Spike said, walking away.
"Alright, next stop! Casa de Dash!" Rainbow Dash said as they flew towards Rainbow Dash's house.
