[return_my_rice]

[Gohan saw the graves. And they did NOT sit well with him. In fact, they upset him so much that he can now be found at the road that used to lead to Westport, rapidly firing ki blasts in a vain attempt to destroy the "barrier" separating them. He seems to be lost in his anger, until...]

Kaaa...meee...haaa...meee... HAAAAAAA!

[A huge blast flies

Action

[steel_massifail]

[[Massimo was walking home from the graveyard, but this is rather distracting.

Once he sees Gohan fall to his knees, he runs over to check.]]

Hey, are you alright?

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan doesn't respond. He simply remains on the ground.]

[steel_massifail]

[[gjdsilgds okay so Massimo's going to run over and try to help him up.]]

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan doesn't resist. When he's back on his feet, though, he just stares silently at the pavement.]

Yes! Guess whose stealing a Kamehameha with his first regain later?

[warpstarrider]

[The little puff ball would see the blast and stare wide eyed a moment. Then noticing the one who did it seemed in trouble he walked over and asked.]

Poyo~?

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan remains where he is, not moving and not speaking.]

[badend_replay]

Gohan!

[ This did not go unnoticed by Rika, who is quick to come check on her friend. Rika slows by his side and reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder. ]

Sir... You should not do things like that.

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan doesn't move, and when his voice comes out, it's weak.]

I... I...

[badend_replay]

Are you okay? Do you hurt anywhere, sir?

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan slumps back, now sitting on his butt. Squeezing his eyes shut, he gives a slight nod.]

[veggiephobe]

[Wart was there. He saw the Kamehameha attack in action. He can also see Gohan on his knees, but he doesn't care about that. What he cares about is having him as a part of his army, and he will make it happen.

Waddling over, he points a webbed finger at the other]

You! Boy! You will now become part of the Great Wart's elite forces and I won't take no for an answer - Ribbit!

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan remains where he is on the ground. No sound escapes his lips.]

[veggiephobe]

[Wart snorted. If Gohan won't answer, then he will make him answer. And what other way to do so than screaming in someone ears.]

ANSWER ME - RIBBIT!!

[return_my_rice]

WAH!

[Gohan jumps, which results him him accidentally rolling away from the source of the sound.]

[crunchitize_me]

[Man what is it with having weird kids in this place.

Here comes not!dad from behind, bending down to grab Gohan by the back of the shirt to haul him to his feet--And he's far from gentle. It's his own way of saying 'It's pointless, calm down.']

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan wasn't expecting this. He ends up letting the momentum carry him too far and lands on his butt.]

[crunchitize_me]

[

picks up again.]

[return_my_rice]

[Gohan stays on his feet this time. But he says nothing, and just looks down at the ground.]
