Time Warp 7

As they touched down in the wasteland where the final showdown with Frieza occurred, Gohan couldn't help but sigh at the nostalgic feeling that washed through him.

He had been terrified at the time, with a returned Frieza seeking revenge and even more powerful than before, with his while weaker, still incredibly powerful father by his side. But now, he could fondly look back on that time with a smile. 'Those were the good old days.' he huffed in amusement.

"So where are they?" Kakarot asked from beside him, atop the mountain they were standing on overlooking what was once a battlefield. The remnants of Frieza's ship, little more than scrap lay at the bottom of a massive crater in the middle of it.

Gohan shook his head, enemy or not he was not at all fond of the idea of desecrating corpse, "There." he pointed down at the crater, specifically a rough headstone carved out of huge rock, left there was a courtesy by his father.

"So what do you need the corpses of this Frieza guy and his father for anyway?" Bulla asked.

"Wait and see sweet cheeks." Kakarot winked at her and jumped from the top of the mountain down towards the grave of Frieza and his father, clearing the distance in the blink of an eye.

"You never told me your dad was this fun," Bulla pouted at him, "Hell, you'd think with how much mom loved to talk about him she'd bring something like this up."

"That's because while they have the same general feel, they're nothing alike in personality," Gohan replied smiling lightly at her, "Kakarot has bits to him that remind me of my dad, but Kakarot is a lot rougher than he ever was, and acts very much like a.." he trailed off, not knowing how to put it into words.

"A horny teenager?" Bulla asked, smirking at him in amusement.

He sighed, "Yes....that." Gohan nodded in defeat.

"Well, I like it," she shrugged, before giving him a side along glance, her smirk turning into a warm smile, "You weren't lying about that warm feeling though. Like he always knows what to do and that you winning is a forgone conclusion?"

Gohan smiled lightly himself, "Yeah, you're right." if nothing else, he did have the same feeling that confirmed for him that while he was Kakarot, he was very much Son Goku as well.

The sound of earth splitting apart drew their attention down to Kakarot. In front of him, the ground had split into many different pieces. 'Telekinesis?' Gohan wondered in thought. That was something else he'd never got around to learning from Piccolo either.

A moment later, two headless corpses, one around the size of Bulla and one easily twice his own size if not bigger floated into the air. "So that's Frieza right, the small one?" Bulla asked, "..He must have been really tough. I can feel ki still within his body and he's been dead for like fifteen years right?"

"That's right," Gohan nodded grimly, "Frieza and his race seem to be incredibly resilient. Even getting cut in half and being on an exploding planet didn't kill him. " Even now, their corpses looked like they hadn't deteriorated at all.

"Woah, badass!" the violet haired girl gasped.

Yes, it was an incredibly feat of durability, that was for sure. Not even his father could have survived an exploding planet back then. Heck, Gohan was very sure he couldn't either. Or at the very least, even if he died he'd suffocate and die within space since there was no air.

"Tch, Frieza doesn't have any of his tail left." he heard Kakarot click his tongue and complain even from the distance between them.

"...What does he want Frieza's tail for?" Bulma asked, confused.

"No idea." Gohan shrugged, watching on as Kakarot dropped Frieza's corpse back into the hole before turning to King Cold's headless body.

"Well, at least he has one." Kakarot mused, and before their eyes he formed a Destructo Disk in his palm and cut off the tail from the huge corpse. He caught the tail and dispelled the the Destructo Disk before tossing the large corpse back in alongside Frieza's and dropping the debris he'd lifted with Telekinesis back on top covering them again, laying them once again to rest. If a rather..rough and crudely.

He then lifted the tail up and before Gohan's horrified eyes brought it to his mouth and began tearing into it with his teeth and eating it! "I think I'm gonna be sick!" he gagged.

"What the hell!? Why is he eating it?" Bulla's eyebrows drew up in surprise.

A second later when Kakarot finished his 'meal', Gohan felt his ki spike and begin to grow! A massive crimson aura burst into existence around Kakarot and he heard the teenage time displaced version of his father roar loudly. And then, Gohan saw Kakarot's body begin to bulk up and grow.

It went on for a good thirty seconds, before the crimson red aura was pulled inwards and Gohan gaped as he saw at the change the teenage version of his father had gone through.

He'd grown about two or three inches and his musculature had bulked up noticeably. On top of that, his power had grown by a decent margin. About a fourth of Gohan's own total base power!

"Oh yeah, this is awesome!" Kakarot shouted loudly, sounding triumphant. He punched a fist into the air and to Gohan's astonishment, a thick white arm brace of white armour formed on his wrist reaching back to cover his entire forearm, a sharp blade formation jutting out from the side of it and a shining crimson red gem in front of it.

That was...! It looked like those kind of armours Frieza could make to suppress his power in lower forms!

"Wait, did he just get the ability to do that and a power boost from eating that dudes tail!?" Bulla asked, incredulous...for but a moment, "That is metal as hell!"
