Not An Exact Copy [Gohan x OC]

Ch. 33

Goku frowned at the information received.

"Wait, so... Son Gohan did not pass through here at any point and time?"

"Did I stutter, Goku? No, your son did not pass through here."

Goku couldn't help but gain a sense of hope as he realized there was a possibility of his son being alive. "Alright, thanks again, King Yemma!"

The king grumbled and waved him off as he ran out of his office, now frowning in concentration as he tried to sense his son's ki energy.

"Hm..." He closed his eyes, his fingers to his forehead as he focused on the familiar ki, only to widen in shock as he finally found it. "There you are!" With that, Goku transmissioned to Gohan's location, only to yelp when he landed clumsily on another body as soon as he arrived.

He heard the pained groan from underneath and scrambled off, gasping when he took in the familiar head of spiked hair wearing colorful clothing. "Gohan, am I glad to see you!"

Gohan abruptly turned in his direction, staring with wide eyes. "D-Dad?!"

Gohan brought the older man into a hug, which made Goku take a few steps back from the impact, but nonetheless, he smiled giddily and returned the hug. "I'm glad you're alive, son! I was sure that Buu took your life..."

Gohan pulled away and shook his head. "No, when Buu came out into the world, I remembered trying to fight him but he was a powerful opponent. Next thing I know, I'm training here with Supreme Kai."

It was then that he noticed the familiar purple-skinned male. "Oh!"

Shin smiled slightly as he bowed. "Hello, Goku. Fancy seeing you here."

The Saiyan sheepishly rubbed the back of his head as he laughed. "Yeah, I instant transmissioned to Gohan's ki. And did you say training?"

Shin nodded as he pointed to the sword in Gohan's hands, which Goku didn't notice until now. "Your son pulled out this sword that was deemed impossible to pull out of a boulder, but his strength managed to do so. I have to say, I'm very impressed with your son."

Gohan rubbed the back of his neck, muttering, "It's not that big of a deal..."

Goku's eyes sparkled. "Hey, why don't we try out that sword of yours?!"

Before Shin could protest, the father-son duo took stances, with Gohan holding the sword near him and Goku stationed further where boulders lied around. Shin's eyes widened as Goku gave a 'heads up' warning before he swiftly launched the boulder towards the other Saiyan.

Shin's soul could have left his body at this point. Goodbye Earth, goodbye Kai Planet, goodbye universe—

He watched as Gohan's brows furrowed in concentration as he let out a cry, cutting clean right through the middle of the boulder. The huge rock felt into halves as it tumbled to the ground, with Goku whooping from his place.

"That's the stuff!" Goku cheered with a fist in the air. "That sword sure is strong!"

Goku decided to throw more boulders toward the half-breed, with a successful cut through each large mass as they fell into pieces onto the grass. Shin was impressed, not that he already wasn't when Gohan was able to pull the sword out the rock it resided in.

Shin decided to partake in the strength of the sword. "Hold it, Goku," the Kai stopped the goofy Saiyan from throwing another rock. Shin holds a palm up, and there, he conjures up a block of metal. Gohan tilts his head in curiousity. "This is the hardest metal in the universe. It is called Katchin," he stated.
