In a quiet place far from the battlefield, Gohan was sitting, but his mind wasn't calm.
The surroundings were normal… yet his heart was beating strangely.
Suddenly…
He stood up quickly.
"This feeling… it's not normal…"
He extended his hands and sensed a heavy energy shaking the ground from far away…
A powerful energy… but with something familiar in it.
His eyes widened.
"Dad…?"
⸻
Back at the battlefield…
The air was filled with dust and energy, everything was silent… even the silence itself felt heavy.
In the middle of the haze…
Goku stood.
But…
This was not him.
His eyes glowed… containing a strange mix of light and darkness.
His aura had become stable… yet terrifying.
And when he finally spoke…
A strange voice echoed:
"Finally… true balance."
⸻
Suddenly…
Far away…
Gohan felt his heart pound violently.
"No… this isn't normal…"
He clenched his fist and released his full energy.
"I have to get to him!"
A powerful aura erupted from his body, and the sky above him shifted.
⸻
Back to Goku…
The entity that once controlled him was no longer as dominant.
Inside Goku's mind…
The darkness began to crack.
His own voice returned, weak but present:
"I'm… still here…"
The shadow responded angrily:
"No… I must finish this control!"
But Goku began to rise from within…
Slowly… but steadily.
"Now… I understand."
He lifted his head, and his expression changed.
"It's not power… that decides who wins."
⸻
Suddenly…
The energy of Goku exploded… but this time… it wasn't purely dark.
It was pure… yet terrifying.
At that moment…
Vegeta stood in the distance and smirked:
"That's… the Goku I know."
⸻
And then…
The sky cracked again…
But this time… the source wasn't Goku.
Something else… something bigger… more dangerous…
A new force… was approaching slowly.
⸻
And in that moment…
Gohan arrived.
He stood at a distance… looking at his father.
But this time… he felt something strange.
"Dad… isn't the only one…"
He took a step forward…
"There's someone else…"
⸻
Goku slowly turned his head…
His eyes landed on Gohan…
A moment of silence…
Then…
A faint smile appeared…
"Gohan…"
But the voice… echoed with a dual tone…
Something… was still not finished.
