Is not a goodbye|Goku and Gohan||

Is not a goodbye

How many times had he seen his father die to save everyone..
By now he had lost count of the countless times he had said goodbye to him and shouted his name to the sky, crying because he hadn't expected his sacrifice..

But it was precisely thanks to that example that he understood what the word sacrifice meant, yes because sacrificing yourself for someone meant protecting those you love and his father had done just that..

He had never told him I love you, not even when those rare times her father came down from the afterlife, but she knew full well that he knew it, between them there was no need for words, but only looks..

And one last fight, one last time he would see his hero again...
And yes, because for Gohan, Goku was his hero, he had always been and he would never allow his brother, Goten, to forget him..

He was sorry that he was the only one who hadn't known their father, but thanks to Gohan's stories, his brother could dream and try to imagine their father..

That fight for Gohan was the best way that Goku's blood flowed inside him..

But even if he had tried to beat him, he knew well that he would never reach that level and that only over the years would he have developed the control that he saw so much in his father..

- I will fight with you and whatever happens - Goku had told him to a Gohan who fainted from too much energy emanating..

But Gohan had listened to him, and was happy that despite everything he would have his father with him, his greatest example, someone he could cheer for..

He had always enjoyed watching his father fight and this time he would be no different..

- I will never be like you - Gohan had told him..

But Goku was not of the same opinion, because he knew well how much power and energy his son had and that he would most likely reach a higher stage..

- don't say that son, I'm sure you will become stronger than me and that's why you will train and that I will help you do it - Goku told him

- thanks dad - he told him, and he was happy that his father would train him, he had never managed to have this opportunity, but now he could have his chance and he wouldn't waste it for anything in the world..

This tournament arrived with great speed and for Gohan it would have been the perfect opportunity to make everyone admit that the same blood as the legendary super saiyan Guko flowed within him..

He had always been proud of his father, since he was little, he had always seen him as a role model to follow, and even though he spent most of his time dead, he knew that Goku had always watched over him, giving him advice. at the right time just like he was doing at that moment..

- please be angry, Gohan, just like with cell, be angry and you will reach levels that no one will ever be able to touch - guko had told him and so he had done..

But now the time had come to cheer for his father, he had always loved seeing him fight, he still remembered when his father became a super saiyan for the first time with a very powerful aura and when out of nowhere, even if only for a short time, he managed to transform into the third level Saiyan, not to mention the God and the Blue marked by the Kaioken..

Yes was his source of inspiration and now he was seeing it in the ultra instinct, which even if it was incomplete as everyone insisted on saying, was still scary emanating that warm and luminous light..

He was also seeing him ally himself with his bitter enemies in order to make the seventh universe triumph, he would never have imagined that his father could ally himself with Freezer and yet in that tournament it had really happened...

He had always been certain that his father had a noble and sincere heart and this time he was more than sure of it..

His father was unique and this made him a worthy model to follow in his eyes.

During the years she was with him, she had seen with her own eyes how the most evil people like Vegeta could change just by being in contact with her father..

He didn't want the tournament to reach its conclusion also because it would have meant that he would never see his father again and that Goten would not have been able to discover how strong and altruistic their father was, as well as a parent who, even if he made mistakes and was imperfect, loved very much his children remaining present despite everything..

But maybe Goten could have his older brother as an exact copy of their dad...

Who better than him could explain what Goku was like?

And then he wouldn't have been the only one to talk about the wonderful person he was..

Because with him, many others had witnessed the enormous heart, and all those people were around him, alive..

- son what is it - Goku asked Gohan

- I don't want the tournament to end - Gohan told him openly

- why do you say this - his father asked him

- because I know I won't see you again - the eldest son told him

- I will always be here, and then I can visit you every now and then you know - Goku said him

-

really - Gohan asked him with the twinkle in his eyes of someone who had understood that his father would never really leave

- but of course, this is not a goodbye, but it is simply a goodbye, I will always watch over you and guide you, both you and your brother Goten and if you will have difficulties only you call on me and call my name and I will always give you a little of mine energy - his father told him..

- I know dad, I love you - he told him

But Gohan knew well, that Goku knew that his son loved him, but for real..

- I know you love me, but now you have to go and I have to stay here, please look after your mother and Goten, I'm proud of you Gohan - Goku told him after Gohan had hugged him

And it was in those cases that Vegeta also realized how his arch-enemy, potentially, was so different from all the other Saiyans and how his children also expressed this diversity that was in their hearts..

And Gohan was happy with the teachings that his father had always given him even from afar..

“fight for the greater good” and that was what he would do now and always..
