Chapter Nineteen
"Kaasama said that her and Oneesan got into a fight because she was mad at her over something so she got hurt. When she got hurt, I got hurt because I was in her tummy. So Oneesan then went to wish for me to be all better. So when I was born with my other Nissan and Oneesan I was born with the dragon in me. So in away I am the dragon. She said that the dragon chose me because I was the key to all the happiness in the world." Chibi-Vegeta said smiling at Trunks as he listened to the child intensely.
"What happen to your other Nissan and Oneesan?" Trunks asked. The little girl turned silent at the question. "Papa said they were too weak to live so they had to go somewhere else to live and that one day I could see them when the time was right." she said, her small fingers fidgeting together.
"Chibi, would you like us to help you get back home?" Trunks asked.
The small girl’s face lit up with happiness, "Yes, I would. I miss Papa and Mama very much." she said.
"Well, if we help you would you help us fight?" Trunks asked.
"I don't know how to fight like you do. I'm only six years old, but I can try." she said back.
"That's all you have to do and your instinct will guide you the rest of the way. You are a Saiya-jin with great power ready to come out and make this a happy place again just like your Mama said." Trunks said back, his smile warming the girls heart and thoughts for just a moment.
"Hi Videl-sama, is Gohan-san here?" Marron asked as she entered the house she had so many times before her departure into a life of college. Now she was back, but nothing was the same. Perhaps, nothing will ever be the same or stay the same from this point on.
"Hi, he's here. I'll call him for you." Videl said in her ever sweet voice. So gentle she was, how she went from fighting side by side with this powerful warrior to marrying him and turning into gentle creature with a calming voice and features that a mother who showed no signs of aging. Marron could only smile at her.
"Gohan, Marron here to talk to you." Videl said as she spoke into the hallway where Gohan's study door was open. Gohan stiffened at his wives voice, how long had he been in there? Time had been lost to him lately, everything becoming a blur around him as he lost control over his only child. Walking from the room, he looked to Marron standing there.
"Hi Marron, can I help you?" he asked smiling at the young woman.
"I wanted to talk to you about some things that have been going on." she said simple, suddenly her smile vanishing and steady features setting on her with almost sharp eyes but still holding a friendship in them with respect.
"There is nothing to talk about concerning at what you’re getting at..." Gohan said, removing his glasses as he rubbed his forearm against his tired eyes. His muscle stretching against the thin material to show off his defining features from hardship of training.
"That’s where I think you’re wrong, no I know your wrong. There are some things you need to hear. Maybe I'm not the one to tell you this, but I am. I love Pan and Trunks. I use to think I was in love with him until I realized I lost him to your Musume before I could even try. I remember I was going off with him and Pan called him during our date and he came rushing to her side, that's when I knew he loved her and would never look at me. The way he held her that night and never took his eyes off her I knew one day they would be what they are now." Marron said as she took a steady breath, how long had it been since that day, since she talked about it with out crying herself to what seemed like death.
"Marron, she's only sixteen years old. He is 28 years old, he grew up with my Nissan as his best friend. He was like another Nissan to me, and it nearly killed me to know he slept with Pan." Gohan said, his voice slightly rising, nerves tightening as he clenched his fist. His glasses crushing in his grip.
"I know you’re hurt, but Pan doesn't regret anything she does. What she does regret is loosing you and Videl. You are her Tousama and she needs you right now, just like she needs her Kaasama right now, Videl." Marron said casting her eyes over her.
"She has been through hell right now, and Bulma and Vegeta can only act like her parents for so long and so much. There are things that they can not do that you two can do. You should have been there for her instead of them when she got raped. Do you know that she woke up every night for a week straight crying out she wanted her Tousama and Kaasama like a little lost child. Trunks loves her and has done everything he can for her, but he can only replace so much of you two in her heart. " Marron said, her eyes glancing back between both of them.
"Pan walked out on us, and don't you think it killed me that Pan was raped? I was there." Gohan said as Marron flinched seeing his anger flicker a slight spark around him.
"No, you should have been there for her, not blowing things up and acting like a raving baka. You are her Tousama for Kami’s sakes. " Marron said taking her stand as she gained control over herself.
"And you Videl are just as guilty as he is. She needed your soft touches and arms to rock her to sleep not me and Bra." she said, her tone firm and strong as her eyes pointed at her with equal disappointment.
"I love her, she is my only child and you’re right. I can't stand by anymore while all this going on." Videl said, her eyes casting a glance at Gohan as her heart broke. How wrong she had been, how wrong they have been.
"Please, I'm begging you Gohan as your Musume's close friend, as your close friend’s Musume. Go to her, and tell her you still love her and you will be there for her. Then you can work out everything , slowly but surely it will all come to pass." Marron said as she softened her looks. A slight smile crossing her lips as her eyes played out a silent plead.
"I, I don't know. All I can do is talk to her." he said.
"Then do it now. Both of you." Marron said as she simply walked back to the door, Pan standing there with Trunks. Her eyes draining like salty rain as she ran to him. Gohan could only embrace his Musume. Pan wrapped her arms around him, Videl coming up from the side of them. Following into the embrace of her little family.
"I think we should leave." Marron said quietly to Trunks. Trunks just smiled at her,
"Thank you Marron, but I never knew.."
"Shh, no need to reminisce about the past. We only need to look forward, to seek a peaceful future again. Ne? " she asked, quickly changing the subject as the two friends walked off.
"So what brought you two here, and were you there for the whole time?" Marron asked, sitting his car as he hoped in.
"Um, lets just say something drove me here and told me it would be worth everything in the world. And to see Pan happy again, is the world to me." Trunks said with a little laughter as he drove off.
"Hm, it's about time that brat got things straight over there." Vegeta said, his body rising from the bed as his mate stirred a bit before grabbing the pillow as if it was him. "Hm, so weak." he said walking over to his window, the curtains open as he stepped out into the balcony part leaning against the rail.
"Now things are straight, we can be more ready for battle with no tension. Though I would love to see that boy go at Kakarott’s brat, just to see how badly he would beat him." Vegeta said aloud, almost laughing at the picture he could see in his mind. "What a sight it would be."
Vegeta suddenly inhaled a sharp intake of air, his breath caught between his teeth as he almost howled and barked at the same time. "Now who is weak Vegeta?" Bulma said, her hand taking another squeezes as Vegeta was almost brought to his knees with her grip.
"Your playing with fire right now, so I would let go if I where you." he said almost hissing at her as she stroked him.. "I don't think you want me too. Plus I would like to comment on your thought. You say Trunks would beat Gohan, I don't think so. Gohan is rather powerful, and this Pan we are talking about. He nearly blow up Earth at finding out she was raped because he could not control all his anger." Bulma said, just her fingers running slowing now. His breathing becoming long and steady.
"That why, Pan. Trunks would kill Gohan over Pan. You would be surprised at would you wicked wenches put us through when another tries to hurt you or takes you from us. It's quite sad really, sometimes I rather have someone take you away just so I wouldn't have to listen to your bitching and see that hideous face of yours everyday and all day." Vegeta said, turning around as she still held him. That was it, Bulma took full grip this time applying as much pressure as she could.
Vegeta let a howl rip through his throat as he came crashing to his knees. His hands gripping his hair as Bulma had him where she wanted him. Then suddenly the tables turned. Bulma found herself being pinned against the wall on the outside of her bedroom where they stood on the balcony. Vegeta's naked body crushing hers as she smiled wickedly at him.
"That’s what you get for running around naked out here and making that comment... Vegeta." she said with a fiery voice as he crushed his lips against hers. Their tongues dipping into each others mouths, such a rush of passion she put him..
"You’re about to get burnt little one, because this fire won't go out." he said almost demanding at her before ravishing her neck.
"Ever.." was the last thing she could remember his husky voice saying as her body took over in ways unspeakable.
"Bra, did Vegeta tell you what the kid told Trunks? I guess your powers are rather correct. Now if you can see how to trigger her into rising the dragon from within her and grant our wish we would have nothing to worry about." Goten said looking at Bra as they sat eating at the table.
"Yeah, Trunks had informed me. I wish it was all that easy, but I don't think I'm supposed to change any of it. Just let it take its own path, just guide us into the right path are what would be because I have not seen the end. Only images that give clues to it, so maybe I'm not suppose to see the end. I'm hoping that I can learn more as Tousama has been teaching me. Apparently your Tousama’s Tousan had it too. Bardock." Bra said leaning in back of the chair as she watched Goten eat. Finishing her plate already.
"Hm, that's weird. Though I don't know if it would really mean anything to me sense I never knew him much less my Tousama. I guess it must be a trait in our genes. My Tousama never knew Bardock and I never knew my own Tousama until just shortly ago." Goten said, taking his last bite as he pushed his plate away from him into the middle of the table. He looked to the side, he never truly was comfortable about that subject.
"You still hold hatred for him on that subject don't you?" Bra asked as he didn't even look at her. He quickly got up, walking to the door to go out side. "Goten, don't you walk away from me." she said demanding.
Goten stopped in his tracks and turned slightly to look back at her. "Why, so I can tell you how much I hated him? How much I never knew of him and still don't. You would never know, your Vegeta's little girl. You have always had him, I had Gohan for a Tousama figure. Do you know what it's like to have your own Tousama leave your Kaasama to go train some other boy who wasn't even his own son while he left his wife pregnant?" Goten said, his voice harsh and hurtful with every word coming out. His eyes so deep in depth of anger.
Bra felt like being ripped apart with a mind not at ease over feelings she felt that where his. She clutched her heart, and closed her eyes. Taking in everything he was feeling, wanting to know what he felt. "I do, I'm apart of you. Don't you forget that." Bra said sharply, walking to him placing her hand on his heart. "You will be a good Tousama." she said simple as he crushed her into embrace of wanting to be held.
"Bra, your caring our child right now aren't you?" Goten asked softly, inhaling her sent as he nuzzled his nose into her hair. "Yes, I am." she said feeling everything around disappear as it was just them two now.
"It will be a.."
"Shh…" Bra said holding a finger to lips. "I don't want to know until it's born. Our baby, our beautiful baby. Plus if I want to know, I could on my own." she said. Goten just smiled at her, kissing her finger.
"Beautiful just like it's Kaasama."
"Or handsome and strong like it's Tousama." she said back, smiling at him and the thought of being a family.
"So you will not fight then, if anything happens I want you and the baby to be safe." Goten said now just holding her. Bra's face scrunched at what he said, her eyes a little hard now.
"No, I will be there with you all to the end. Faith has already told me that." she said.
"No, you will not! I will not allow it, you are not a strong fighter yet. Your mind is your main power right and your death and the baby's death is something I will not tolerate." Goten said sternly now.
Bra looked puzzled into his eyes as he never yelled or even barked at her. Slightly pushing him off her she walked out not saying a word. Goten just stood there, he wanted to say he was sorry, but his words where true. He would never let death take her or their unborn child. It's just simple that. He wasn't going to be his Tousama and not think of others, or maybe he was being him. Dieing to leave them alone, but if he came back he would come back to them not to train some other kid.
So many things running through his head. He felt over crowded, he needed to get out. To get out of here and everything around him. With that last thought he flew out the house, his power souring around him as Marron was suddenly flung back at her arrival. Hitting Trunks as he held her. Trunks looked up, Goten was gone out of sight even for him. But that power was still crackling in the air.
"Marron, are you ok?" Trunks asked as he steadied his friend.
"Yeah, was that Goten and why was in a hurry?" she asked looking up at him with a questioning look. Trunks could only guess, but how right it would be who knows.
"Either something’s up or him and Bra had a fight." Trunks said.
"Whoa, I'm glad I'm not a Saiya-jin. You Saiya-jins and your mates are something else over just a little fight. If my husband did that every time we had a little fight I would just beat him until he couldn't fly off any more or kick him out. So over dramatize about everything." Marron said shaking her head as she walked into the Brief's house.
"Well you try being mated. It's a lot more complicated than love." Trunks said following up behind her. "Especially with Pan-chan." he said softly to himself.
"I heard that!" Marron said in the house out loud as she looked at him across the room. "I have no idea of what your talking about." was all he said before running up the stars.
Goten kept flying, things would always be like this. Everything complicated to the next break of reality before loosing total control of ones sanity. Sending one into and emotion that ran wild in his veins, her veins, the last of the Saiya-jin’s veins. Everything they acted out on was to the next extreme for them, never having something of a normal life. Maybe once they would wish to have that but this was them. And for that, they loved it in the end.
His heart pounding fast, flashes of Bra entering his mind with out a second thought. Thoughts of what their child would look like, he could simple not allow that thing to harm them. "Juunana-gou...you will pay!" he yelled with a rage so blinding that the city below him trembled. "You will die tonight!" his voice tore through his throat, his power beyond something the human mind could not comprehend. The Super Saiya-jin was born again inside him.
A power like no other, a Saiya-jin hunger that fed for the protection for ones mate. Their strongest power, the power between to mates. Though not all would live to see the out come. For one hero must fall before another rises to strike at evil as it will only be reborn again to strike again in some other form. For this story will never end between good and evil.
"Come then, taste the power of mine before all to see. Come and have your death, Saiya-jin brat!" his voice called out. Juunana-gou. In the air, battle ready and hungry for death. The games had begun, and their time was up. Their first move, Goten. Now his move, death.
For one second the ground stood still. Now it trembled. Each took their own breath of air before battling. It was over for the city below. Such powerful blows landing on each opponent, sending waves of power in the wind as an after effect until their was a radius of at lest 200 miles of complete nothing. An arena was made with out knowing as people below where killed without having a chance to escape this chaotic war as one would call it with now power.
And the battle went on. An alien, the Saiya-jin. A human, the android,.
"So how does it feel, huh Goten?" Juunana-gou laughed pulling back in mid air, whipping the blood from his upper lip. "What are you talking about?" he barked back, whipping his own share of blood from his nose and forehead.
"Look around you, you just helped me kill over 200 miles worth of people for a chance to kill me. Of course you will never get the chance." he said back. Goten could not believe it, but his bitter words where true. He helped in the killing of innocent people.
"No son, they will live again. The girl, she will wish them back but you must finish the battle first." Goku said into Goten’s head. Goten sense shoot up as he was stunned to hear his Tousama’s voice. He was suppose to be on a remote island somewhere with his Kaasama to make up for lost times finally.
"I'm here with you, always. I know everything, but I can't get there to help until I explain everything with Chi-chi. We have been here for only a month, but maybe she will let me go and help out. Ne?" Goku said with a cherry voice as Goten smiled.
"Alright Tousama, but you don't know what a good fight your missing." he said before Goku shut off complete communication with his second son who he still had to settle things with.
Goten’s golden light fumed even more around him, his stage evolving into the second of this great legendary power.
"Goten, no!" Bra screamed....
"Goten, he's fighting him.." Pan yelled jerking her head up as she shut her eyes to feel out his ki.
"Tousama, we have to go. Now..." she barked before racing out the door and shooting into the sky being followed by Gohan who took no time to ask any question, leaving his wife behind to only scream at them. "Where are you going?" Videl’s voice echoed out into nothing as neither caught her words for they where to far away.
"Kami please bring them back safe." she whispered as she clutched her heart. "I finally have them back as a whole and don't want to lose them again."
"Bra what's wrong?" Trunks said as he ran in his Oneesan room in no time with Marron behind him. "He's fighting him, Juunana-gou and Goten. Juunana-gou is sucking his power with out him knowing. He's going to kill him. No!" Bra screamed as she shook her head wildly clutching her ears with her hands as her body shook as well. "Goten.." was the only things she could say before rushing out her room into the child room, their bond over taking her body. Feeling everything he was feeling, seeing everything in her mind.
Trunks and Marron took off after her as she grabbed Chibi- Vegeta and took off with speed that dumfounded Trunks, never had he seen her this fast or ever this angry. It was like she was another person.
Before he knew it, Marron grabbed him to only fly off after Bra. "Bra, wait!" Trunks yelled, gaining speed on her. "What are you thinking?" he said pushing his body to keep up with her as Marron pushed even harder to stay right behind them.
Suddenly tight arms wrapped around her, pushing her against a hard body the flew right up against the others. "Gohan, Pan..." Marron said as she finally got a view of what and who was with her now.
"Trunks, Goten is going to die if I don't get there now. So just shut up and follow me." Bra barked as she held tightly on the child. Taking off with more speed. The others staying with her as they pushed harder, Marron just closing her eyes as she held tightly onto Gohan.
"Bulma, has Vegeta already left?" 18 asked over the phone. "Yes, Goku just informed him and before I could get a word out of him he left. Marron left too earlier with Trunks, Bra and Chibi-Vegeta." Bulma said back to the blond once android.
"I know, Krillin said he felt their powers. Also Gohan and Pan's as well. I'm going to see if I can slap some sense into my Nissan’s head." 18 said almost hateful and terrified.
"18, are you sure you can fight him? He is your Nissan’s no matter what." Bulma said feeling some what of pity for her, true they never talked that much but anyone could sense the tormenting feeling that was coming out of her voice.
"Let me ask you Bulma. Would you kill Goku or even Vegeta if they harmed your children in anyway. The very same children you carried inside you for nine months?" 18 asked her, her voice dropping a bit, but steady as she asked the question.
"Go 18, do what you need to protect Marron. I would do something but I'm not a fighter. But maybe I have something that can help, to jog back his memory to what he was after being reborn. I really think something has changed him, that this is not him. Just the old him. A killer who wants Pan." Bulma said before hanging up, not giving the other woman a chance to respond, but go and fight.
"What have we gotten ourselves into Kami?" Bulma asked before heading to her lab. Praying a slight pray in her mind for everyone's safety. "I wish you where here Son-Kun. You would know what to do, but this is not your fight. This is our children’s fight. I had hoped we would not pass this trait onto them but we have. Oh what have we done?" Bulma asked out loud as her emotions ran freely now.
Goten powered up as he felt like he had been fighting for hours but he had only been fighting for one hour it seemed. Going straight ahead, he landed a punch on Juunana-gou. His legs sweeping up under him, but Juunana-gou caught it. Slamming him back down.
"Your not fighting fear. Your sucking my power out with every blow I land on you." Goten barked as he jumped back up, taking and stance to fight him again until one was dead.
"Alright, fine no more of that. Now it's just us." Juunana-gou said coming straight at him. Landing a punch on face and kneeing him in the stomach.
Goten groaned in pain, but quickly back flipped back. His quickly threw his arms out, powering up as he through his ki blast at Juunana-gou who threw his own back at him. Each holding out until one would slip. Finally Goten let loose all of his anger coming out.
Images of Bra, their child, Pan beat and bruised when they found her, his Tousama, Gohan. Each one flickering in his mind as he only saw them. "Ahh.....it ends now!"
The others coming as the blast took place, falling to the ground with its power. The only thing they could hear was a roaring voice ripping apart a dry and cracked throat. Hard muscles straining to contain all the power it could out put into one place. Juunana-gou. His scream echoing out into the cry as the other power more but it was not enough. Juunana-gou was over taken. He felt his body being smothered into the ground.
Then he saw her, Pan.. Pan with Trunks arms around her, holding her down. Covering her with his body. Suddenly something over took him. The only thing he could think of was Pan, taking her with him. With that as his last thought he concentrated his powers, his eyes closing. Focusing on Pan.
Finally it was over, Goten fell to the ground onto his knees. A hero has fallen, but this time not in death but in victory.
"Goten.." a voice called out. His eyes shoot open, the color blue was all he could see as he past out.
Bra fell to the ground clutching Goten to her, tears never ending as she kissed him. "You did it, Juunana-gou is dead." she said softly pulling away. His hand reaching up slightly as he touched her face, her hair falling around his fingers.
"I thought I told you to stay home." was all he said smiling at her.
"You thought wrong." she said with a little laughter. For that one moment everything seemed to have come to and end, the battle was over or so they thought. In just that moment, their one second of peace was broken by a cry of agony and pain.
"Chestnut.....No!...." 18 screamed as her voice lingered out into the open battle field with the one fallen warrior and the rest still standing. Her body aching as it seemed liked she was being ripped apart, never had she felt this pain like this before. But as soon as it was there it was gone.
Marron could not move fast enough to see it, her only Kaasama was laying on top of her as she crashed into the ground. Feeling as if she broke her back, but didn't. Her eyes darted up, her Kaasama’s glassy look. "Mama, no..." Marron whispered as it ran through out everyone's ears.
"I love you chestnut. Bring me back." then she was gone. Her body gone, taken without even a word of protest. Marron eyes darted around as another image came to view. Juunana-gou.
Suddenly she let loose, her power hunger side taking over. She hit him with full force. Driving her first hard into his face as she keep flying with him still on the other side of her fist. Finally he smashed into the ground as she sat on him, pounding on him over and over before flying off.
Her eyes darted around to find her Kaasama’s body on the ground with whole through her chest. "No, how could you!?!..." she yelled with a vicious voice.
Juunana-gou could only laugh as he got up, bloody and bruised. "Simple, she could have been my down fall bringing me back to what I was before I realized that death was my only pleasure in life. I do feel bad, she was my twin. We could have been rulers together, taking what we wanted again like we us to." he said now standing.
"How, you were dead. Goten killed you." a male voice strong out in the open. Juunana-gou looked to see Trunks, now in front of Pan.
"True he would have, but I guess you could say I took a quick trip somewhere else before reappearing again. It's rather a neat trick, but I can only hold it out for three seconds." he said, his arms crossing over his chest.
Chibi-Vegeta could only stand there and watch in horror as to what was happening. She just witnessed her first death. Her first battle that would alter her in so many ways from this point on and forever. Something was changing on the inside of her, something she could not explain. It was starting to over take her as she froze and intake everything around her.
