Hearing this, Gohan chuckled softly and landed in front of the Three-Star Dragon.
"Where is Goku? Why didn't he come with you?"
Gohan smiled and replied, "It seems all you Shadow Dragons are very concerned about Goku. Every single one of you asks about him first!"
The Three-Star Dragon laughed.
"The reason we Shadow Dragons exist is because of your father. Furthermore, Goku is the strongest among you, so of course we're interested in him!"
"Is that so!" Gohan smiled faintly.
"Well, then you might not get the chance to meet my father, because I'm going to take care of you myself!"
"Oh really?"
As he spoke, the Three-Star Dragon suddenly fired a freezing beam from his eyes.
Gohan was startled and quickly dodged to the left.
The ground behind him instantly froze solid.
Gohan glanced back briefly before charging forward.
The Three-Star Dragon raised his hand and launched a barrage of ice shards.
Gohan vanished and reappeared directly in front of him, driving a powerful punch into the dragon's face.
Bang!!
The Three-Star Dragon was sent flying like a projectile, crashing through several buildings and reducing them to rubble.
Thick dust filled the air.
Moments later, the Three-Star Dragon crawled out from the ruins, glaring furiously at Gohan.
Gohan smirked and unleashed a barrage of energy blasts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The blasts rained down like fireworks.
The Three-Star Dragon dodged desperately, but one blast struck his right shoulder.
Seeing the opening, Gohan instantly rushed forward.
The Three-Star Dragon gathered freezing energy in his wings and fired it.
Gohan disappeared again and reappeared in front of him, delivering a crushing uppercut to his jaw.
The Three-Star Dragon screamed as he was launched high into the sky.
Gohan clasped his hands behind him and shouted, "Kamehameha!"
A deep blue beam shot upward.
"No!"
The Three-Star Dragon could not escape.
Boom!!
The explosion illuminated the sky, and the Three-Star Dragon was obliterated, reverting into the normal Three-Star Dragon Ball.
Gohan teleported forward and caught it.
Just then, two figures flew in from the distance.
It was GT Timeline Goku and Pan.
They landed nearby.
"Pan!"
Pan smiled brightly.
"Dad, how many Dragon Balls have you collected?"
"Four. What about you two?"
"J-just one!" Pan sounded embarrassed.
"If I had known you would find them so quickly, I would have searched with you!"
Gohan smiled.
"So Dad, did you destroy the Dragon Balls you collected?"
"No, why would I?"
"You didn't? Then why did Giru say three Dragon Balls disappeared?"
Gohan immediately took out the Dragon Balls stored in his system.
"See? They're all here."
"They really are!"
"Giru Giru! The three missing Dragon Balls have reappeared!"
Pan tapped Giru lightly on the head.
"Giru, is your Dragon Radar broken? You made us worry for nothing!"
"No, Giru's Dragon Radar is not broken!"
Giru protested.
GT Timeline Goku laughed.
"It's alright, Pan. Since the Dragon Balls are here, don't blame Giru."
"Okay!"
Pan nodded.
"One, two, three, four, five! Grandpa, we only need two more!"
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Giru beeped rapidly.
"Dragon Ball detected! Approaching! Approaching!"
"A Dragon Ball?"
Pan looked around.
At that moment, Gohan felt the temperature rising sharply. The sun in the sky seemed to be descending.
Gohan narrowed his eyes and fired an energy blast at it.
"What are you doing?"
GT Timeline Goku and Pan were startled.
The blazing "sun" shifted aside and descended to the ground.
A humanoid Shadow Dragon with red skin and wings appeared.
This was the Four-Star Dragon. His body temperature rivaled the surface of the sun, reaching up to six thousand degrees Celsius.
"A Shadow Dragon!"
Pan exclaimed.
"Four-Star Dragon!"
GT Timeline Goku said, staring at the Dragon Ball on his forehead.
The Four-Star Dragon Ball had once belonged to Grandpa Gohan, so it held special meaning for him.
"That's right, Goku, I am the Four-Star Dragon!"
The Four-Star Dragon smiled.
"What negative energy gave birth to you?"
"I was born from the negative energy created when King Piccolo wished for eternal youth!"
"King Piccolo…"
"Yes, Goku. I've wanted to fight you for a long time!"
"Is that so!"
GT Timeline Goku stepped forward into a fighting stance.
The Four-Star Dragon glanced briefly at Gohan. Though his target was Goku, Gohan's presence was equally imposing.
After a moment, he chose to face Goku first.
"Haa!"
GT Timeline Goku charged forward and threw a powerful punch.
Just as his fist neared the Four-Star Dragon, the dragon raised his body temperature to six thousand degrees Celsius.
