Chapter 6 - Childhood Adventure

Akira's POV

I stare at my brother in disbelief. did I just hear him right?

Gohan: "Hey Akira, why don't why go exploring?"

I know this is a stupid idea. I mean who knows what could be out their? I remember their being a sabertooth somewhere in the forest, not to mention how weak me and Gohan are.

I respond bluntly

Me: "Gohan that sounds like a terrible and dangerous idea."

I was worried for Gohan. We are old 3 years old at this point, and did I mention a sabertooth tiger? My brother and I may have incredible potential, but we are as strong as ant other 3 year olds right now.

I was more worried for Gohan. Despite his timid nature, he was quite the explorer, and often went into the forest alone, but at least then he never went past a certain point. right here he is asking me to go with him to explore even further.

Since I'm barely active and spend most of my time studying, since this world is actually quite fascinating, Gohan is actually stronger than me physically, since he goes exploring often.

Gohan: "Come on sis, I bet we'll find something nice to show Mommy and Daddy when we get back. "

looking in his eyes, I know I won't be able to stop him, so I reluctantly respond.

Me: "Okay Gohan, I'll come along, just let me grab some things. "

If I can't stop him might as well come along to keep him out of trouble. I am often like this. Gohan likes to be the big brother, but more often than not it's me who is silently looking out for him.

I care for Gohan more than anything in this world. I will always do what I can to help my brother. I may not be able to fight, but I will help when I can.

I run out of the room, and find my backpack we sometimes use for camping, and head to the bathroom to grab some medicine and bandaids. I pull up a stool, my short hight preventing me from reaching the medicine in that mirror cabinet.

once I grab to medicine, I class the cabinet to see myself in the mirror. if their is one word to describe how I look it is cute. I look almost exactly like Chi-Chi, with some of my father thrown in.

turns out my temper comes from my mother. luckily I quickly got a grip on my anger, knowing it could cause problems with my hidden power. I still didn't know I had locked away potential. I get off the stool, and leave the bathroom.

I head out the front door to see Gohan waiting at the edge of the forest. I had packed a blanket and pillow Incase we need to rest, some leftovers from last night dinner, along with some rice balls, of course the medicine, and even dad's power pole just in case.

it turns out in this timeline Goku took the power pole back after leaving Kami's lookout as no one was using it, and it was a gift from Grampa Gohan. Plus he can always out it back if need be.

Gohan: "Let's go!"

He says excitedly, running ahead. I yell from behind him as he leaves me in the dust

Me: "Wait Gohan, don't leave me behind."

I run after him, barely keeping up do to my weak body. after who knows how long we stop in a clearing, Gohan panting slightly, while I flop on the ground, breathing heavily.

Dear God Gohan is fast. I guess it's expected as I don't do much physical activity. I look to the sky, seeing the soon has barely moved, meaning we didn't run for long. I regain my stamina, and look to Gohan, only to see him looking around, as if trying to find something.

Me: "What are you looking for?"

Gohan spares me a glance and responds.

Gohan: "I found something around here yesterday when I went last the line, but by the time I found it, I was to tired, so I couldn't carry it back. Aha, found it. "

Gohan pulls out something that was in a small crack in a small dug up hole. I froze when I saw it. it was the 1 star Dragon Ball. What? is this canon?

Gohan: "here, put it in the backpack, we should see what else we can find."

I regain my senses and nod. okay, so Gohan found a Dragon Ball, I don't remember hearing this in canon. wait. I stop looking around for a second. could Gohan finding this Dragon Ball be what inspired Goku to start collecting them again?.

Wow, that is incredible! I smile as I learn something new, and started to search more enthusiastically. we weren't able to find anything, and lost track of time. before we noticed it was late day. luckily since it's almost nightfall, dad should be looking for us right now, since we're lost.

suddenly we hear the bush russel, and Gohan quickly goes to check on it, but I have a bad feeling about this. I say to Gohan

Me: "Gohan wait-"

but before I could finish, a familiar sabertooth jumps out at Gohan. luckily Gohan tripped, and the attack passed over Gohan's head, but I sliced of a few strand's of hair. I quickly grab Gohan's and and yell

Me: "Run!"

and start running towards the direction of home, mentally thanking Dad for all those lessons he gave us when camping. the Sabertooth is hot on out heels, but fear is a great motivator. we run for what felt like hours, the sabertooth never letting up.

But suddenly, my foot hit a rock and it send Gohan and I falling. we stood up, but the sabertooth jumped at us. I felt more afraid then I have ever been. I manage to pull Gohan out of the way, but in doing so, the sabertooth managed to get a fairly deep slash on my shoulder.

I cry out in pain, not being able to think straight. I reach for the back, and reach for the power pole. I haven't had a change to grab it since the sabertooth was hot on our trail. sadly, the sabertooth didn't give me the change to grab the staff, as it suddenly jumps at me, seeing me as the easiest target do to my injury.

I see my life flash before my eyes, and in moment of pure instinct, power explodes from my body with a cry, sending both the sabertooth, and Gohan, who was still trying to regain his barings, flying. the sabertooth was send flying into a tree at incredible speed, knocking him out, and Gohan was blasted into a tress as well, loading consciousness immediately.

I regain my senses, and immediately look around, first seeing the sabertooth knocked out, and then freezing as I see Gohan.

I stare in horror. it happened again. I hurt Gohan. I feel myself breakdown, my fear of my power only growing, and in a combination of exhausted, and mental exhausted, I pass out
