Hi. Here's the newly revised chapter eight of the
Amnesia Saga. Thanks to my betareader, Natz for
helping me.
Many thanks to the others who have offered their help.
The Amnesia Saga
Part Eight
By Maria Cline
They were warriors bonded by experience and maybe even
blood. Tomata and Goku fought over the ground with
blurred fists. They knew each other very well from
the battles they fought together and all the times
they trained together. Tomata fell to the ground,
panting heavily. Goku followed her and landed.
"You're getting better, Tomata." Goku complimented.
"But, not good enough." Tomata said, "I... want to
beat Vegita. I don't want to just outlast him; I need
to show him how powerful I am. My honor is at stake."
"You're working very hard at being stronger." Goku
insisted, "And I bet that you will beat Vegita."
"How?" Tomata asked, "Vegita's so strong. I have to
be a Super Saiyan to have a chance."
"You will." Goku replied, "I have faith in your power.
Why don't we stop here for today? We made a lot of
progress."
"Okay." Tomata nodded as she sat on the ground and
leaned backwards to rest on her hands. She was
getting tired from the training and even Saiyans have
limits. "Say Orang... I mean Goku, how do you feel
about Bluberri... I mean Bulma, possibly being
pregnant?"
"I don't know." Goku said as he sat next to her. "I
mean, I love her, Tomata, I love her so much. But, I
have two other sons with another woman that I don't
truly know. And then there's her son and Vegita,
whose Bulma's mate and the prince of all Saiyans."
"I wish I had known about Bluberri being Vegita's mate
at the time. I wouldn't have tried so hard to put you
two together." Tomata confessed, "I'm sorry." Ever
since she found out that Orang and Bluberri were
committed to different people, she couldn't help but
feel guilty for what happened. She had honestly
thought that Orang was evil before he lost his memory
and that he didn't have a mate. How was she supposed
to know that Orang was really a nice man who had a
family?
"Don't feel bad about it." Goku insisted, "You had no
idea. None of us knew until it's too late. Besides,
maybe Bulma isn't pregnant." He was nervous about the
entire thing himself. It was complicated enough with
him being married to another woman but if he was now a
father of a baby with Bluberri that would be too much.
"I wish that was true."
*****
Bulma stared at the pregnancy test. She was too
nervous to get tested by a real doctor so she decided
to take a home pregnancy test. The test had not taken
yet because Bulma was getting too anxious. What if
she is pregnant? How could she live with her newly
found family if she was?
"Why don't you just take it?" Gohan asked as he
appeared next to her.
Bulma jumped turned to him. "Gohan?!" She screamed
as she looked at him. Gohan's eyes were bloodshot and
his face was pale. "Are you okay?"
"Fine for a man who founded out that one of his own
friends could be pregnant with his father's child."
Gohan muttered as he sat down. "I can't believe that
you and he..."
"Gohan... I'm sorry." Bulma apologized as she sat next
to him. She looked down at her hands with the
pregnancy test lying there. "You must understand that
we had no idea that we had children at the time. I
swear, if we knew that there was some chance that we
had children, we would never... ever take a chance.
How did you know?"
"I just know." Gohan said as tears came down his
cheeks. "I went over to the lab to check on the
progress of the machines when I overheard the
conversation. My ears may not be as sharp as
Piccolo's but they are sharp."
"Does anyone else know?"
"No. I had to find out for sure." Gohan answered
coldly, "I didn't want my mom to find out accidentally
and break down. She has been under a lot of pressure
lately. I love her too much to have her know until
it's certain."
Bulma sighed as she looked at the young man. Gohan
and Goten looked so much like her Goku. They all had
the same wide eyes and goofy grin that seem to pass
through the generations. Tomata told her about how
saiyan sons easily inherited their featurs from their
fathers. "I know. Gohan, I swear, I had no idea that
Orang, Goku, had a child."
"I know. Amnesia." Gohan said as he gestured to the
test. "You have to take it. We all must know for
sure if it's true or not."
Bulma clutched the test in her hands. "Looks like it's
now or never." She muttered as she went into the
bathroom.
*****
Weeks passed as the two warriors fought on. Tomata's
body shook with rage as she glared at her sparring
partner. "Get mad!" Goku urged on, "Think about what
the other Saiyans did to you and your family! Think
about the Tormans! Focus the rage and anger into your
power!"
Tomata went to her knees as she looked up. Images of
death and destruction poured through her mind. "I..."
An image of Vegita came to her, taunting her and her
ideas. Power slowly began to rush through her body.
"want..." She can see the Tormans clawing through her
fellow warriors and eating them. The air around her
swirl. Clouds filled with bright red lightning
circled around her and her fellow fighter. Goku look
on in shock as Tomata's hair flashed between red and
black, her pupils flickered to a blank state to a pair
of gold ones. "REVENGE!!!" She screamed as her hair
went straight up and turned to a very bright red. Her
eyes transformed into a pair of gold orbs that
resembled a pair of suns. Goku held up his hands as
Tomata lashed out a massive Ki wave. The wave shoved
out the ground making a large hole around her. Goku
let down his hands to see Tomata still standing there
powering up. Slowly, he came forward baffled about
the transformation.
He knew that normal Super Saiyans had gold hair and
green eyes, not red hair and gold eyes. Tomata stood
there for a tense second before collapsing on the
ground. Her hair reverted back to its normal black
color. The sky cleared and turned back to white.
Tomata weakly opened her now normal black eyes and
asked, "Did... did I do it?" Her body was pouring out
sweat and was almost drained.
Goku smiled as he tenderly picked up his friend and
held her in his arms. "I don't know. Your hair went
red and your eyes were gold for a second. Then, you
collapsed and you went back to normal."
"Red hair and gold eyes? How?" She muttered weakly as
she lost consciousness but happy.
Goku smiled as he flew up with the exhausted warrior
in his arms. He knew that Tomata had crossed some
threshold of her power. At this time, he had no idea
what it was. It could be a female Super Saiyan form
or an entirely different power up. But for now,
Tomata was exhausted and needed a very well deserved
sleep.
Goku landed at the building and went to the beds.
Gently, he laid the woman on the mattress. Tomata
turned over as she smiled slightly. "You did great."
Goku complimented as he pulled the covers over her
body. After watching her for a few moments he decided
to go eat and left her alone. Unknown to all, Tomata
turned to her side and grimaced. A faint but distinct
ripping sound came and the Saiyan sighed as she slept
on.
*****
Gohan waited anxiously as he fingered a stress ball in
his hand. He wanted Bulma not to be pregnant with his
father's child. How would his father react? Would he
still want to regain his memories? And what about
Goten and Trunks? There's no way to figure out how
they would react. Trunks loved Bulma very much,
especially since Bulma raised him most of his life.
Goten had barely gotten a chance to know his father
before that long painful six-month separation. Whilst
Goten and Goku bonded almost instantly, it was still
hard to predict what their reactions would be.
The two most obvious people that would definitely hate
Bulma being pregnant with Goku's baby are Chi Chi and
Vegita. Chi Chi loves Goku and Vegita loves Bulma.
It was hard for either of them to accept Goku and
Bulma having some relationship. But, it was
understandable. Goku and Bulma didn't remember who
they were and so they became close, very close.
"What's on our mind?" Piccolo asked as he came up.
"Did you know?" Gohan asked as he destroyed the stress
ball in his hand with a simple blast.
"About Bulma possibly being pregnant, yeah." Piccolo
sat down next to the boy who had changed him the demon
king and crossed his legs in his usual meditating
position. "I didn't want anyone else to know until it
was a fact. I'm sorry."
Gohan sighed loudly as he gazed up. "This thing had
been a nightmare. Destroying the Termons was easy but
the rest of this is hard. So hard. Damn it!" Gohan
slammed his fist through a wall and he gulped.
"Oops." He said sheepishly as he took out his fist in
an embarrassed manner. It was times like these that
he didn't like being one of the strongest men in the
world. While it's handy for handling monsters and
threats to the world, taking out your frustrations on
furniture is something that he couldn't do.
Piccolo grunted in amusement as he shook his head.
"You still have that uncontrollable anger." He
muttered, "But, this entire ordeal is also hard on
Bulma and Goku as well. They didn't know their lives
before we told them. Besides, it could've been
worst."
"How?"
"They could've been our enemies. There are a lot of
races out there that are not as nice as the Fruans."
Piccolo answered.
Gohan nodded as he remembered his space travels as a
five-year-old boy. They were good and bad times. He
had never met so many types of aliens in a period of
two months in his life. "Right."
Bulma came out of the bathroom as pale as a sheet.
"Bulma?" Gohan asked as he got up.
"I don't know." Bulma answered, "Both tests
contradict."
Gohan and Piccolo fell over. "Huh?" They asked.
"Well... I don't know if I trust those home tests.
Especially one that was named 'Krusty's Home Pregnancy
Test'. So, I bought two. One said that I'm pregnant
and the other said I'm not." Bulma explained as she
held up two different tests with two different
results.
"Great. Just great." Gohan said as he looked at the
tests. "Well, when possibly pregnant, one is supposed
to get a doctor's opinion."
"A doctor. Okay, what about my father." Bulma asked
as her hands shook. She still couldn't believe that
she may or may not have a baby. The two pregnancy
tests contradict each other so it still means that she
still doesn't know.
"No. He's not a baby doctor." Gohan answered, "We'll
just have to find a human doctor. I think there's
that doctor that took care of Mom when she had Goten
and I."
"I don't trust doctors." Piccolo replied, "Let me.
Hold still." Piccolo reached out for Bulma's stomach.
Bulma stepped back hesitantly. Piccolo sighed as he
glared up at her. "Relax, Kami has done this before."
"Are you sure?" Bulma asked as the alien's big green
hands touched her stomach.
"Trust him, Bulma." Gohan advised.
Bulma closed her eyes as the hands felt warmer. Her
stomach tingled lightly and the Namekian gasped. He
let go and stepped back.
Gohan looked at his mentor's look of confusion. He
had never saw Piccolo so surprised in his life.
"Piccolo?" Gohan asked.
Piccolo let out a solem sigh. He looked at Bulma
disapointed. "She's pregnant." He said simply.
Gohan and Bulma reacted like any other person in those
circumstances. A sucession of thuds were heard as
Gohan and Bulma fainted.
"Perfect." Piccolo muttered as he went up and picked
up the unconscious Bulma. "Humans."
"Excuse me?"
Piccolo turned around and saw a familiar figure
standing there with a tray of tea in her hand. "Oh
no. Not her."
*****
The sun rose as Tomata sat up in her bed. Goku came
in the room with a huge bowl of rice in his hands.
"Glad you finally woke up." Goku said cheerfully as he
handed the woman the bowl. "I made some breakfast."
Tomata accepted the bowl and wolf down the food
gratefully. She swallowed and said, "Thanks. Have I
been asleep for that long?"
"You bet. Did you remember what happened?"
Tomata shook her head. "Not really. I remembered
being mad and trying to go Super Saiyan. I thought
about all the things would enraged me; the Tormans...
Vegita... and even me not being able to go Super
Saiyan. Then, a great feeling of power overwhelmed me
and then exhaustion. What happened?"
Goku grinned and put up a 'V' sign. "You crossed a
major boundary. You went Super Saiyan!"
Tomata beamed. After all this time, after so many
battles, she finally achieved every Saiyan's dream.
She went Super Saiyan. "I did? Really?!" Tomata
flung off the covers and hopped out of bed. Right
after she landed on her feet, she toppled backwards
and fell on the bed. "Huh?"
"Tomata? You okay?" Goku asked as he pulled her back
up.
Tomata, still holding on to Goku's hands, looked
behind her to see a long furry tail waving around like
a banner. "Oh, that's my tail. It must've-" She did
a double take and fell over. "Tail?! I REGREW MY
TAIL?!" She screamed as she pawed at the appendage in
her strong hands and felt it to make sure it's real.
"Oh..."
Goku's eyes budged as he pulled her up again and
seated her on the bed. "A... a tail?!" He screamed as
he reached up and lightly squeezed the tail.
"Ah! Not so hard!" Tomata argued as she grabbed
Goku's hand.
Goku smiled sheepishly as he quickly released his
grip. "Sorry. I forgot about what you said about
tails."
Tomata sighed in relief as she rubbed her tail.
"That's okay." The Saiyan gazed at her tail again. It
was just as she remembered it from so long ago. It
had the same shade of brown it had before. She
focused and it curled around her hand like before.
"My tail. But how?"
Goku frowned as he thought. "Well, maybe when a
female Saiyan goes Super Saiyan, she regains her tail.
You didn't go Super Saiyan like me or the others
did." He observed as he transformed into his Super
Saiyan form. "You were different. You had red hair
and gold eyes."
"Red hair and gold eyes?" Tomata repeated. "But... I
thought Super Saiyans have gold hair and green eyes
and they don't sprout tails." **And tails don't
usually sprout back after getting pulled out. Cut off
sure, but not pulled.** Tomata thought as she stood up
wobbly. Her tail became still as Tomata regained her
balance. "I gotta get used to having the tail again."
Goku smiled at his friend. Tomata regaining her tail
must be some sign. "This is great! Say! In that
fight with Vegita, you can change into that giant ape
while a Super Saiyan!"
"No!" Tomata snapped as Goku jumped. "The Oozaru
transformation is a very... _very_ powerful
transformation. Transformed, the Saiyan would succumb
to their most primal instincts. If a Saiyan
transforms and he or she is untrained, he or she would
go bezerk! Saiyans are often trained to control
themselves to handle the transformation since they
were children so they wouldn't destroy themselves or
their parents. I haven't been trained in a long time
and I haven't transformed either. If I change while a
Super Saiyan, I could destroy the entire planet in a
mere blow."
Goku gulped as he thought of a giant red monster
running amok across the blue sphere known as Earth.
"Oh man. If you do that while fighting Vegita, then
the entire planet will be destroyed."
"I know. Besides, there's no moon here and I can't
perform the Bruta Ball attack."
Goku nodded at the logic. "That's true too. Wanna
practice going Super Saiyan?"
"Yes." Tomata walked around in a circle slightly
unsteady on her feet. "I have to adjust to this tail
too."
*****
Back in the outside world, Yamcha sighed as he sat on
a chair on Master Roshi's island. The sun was setting
over the vast sea, making the sky slightly red. There
was an old saying among sailors. Red sky means
warning or something like that. He couldn't help but
think about Tomata. While for him only a few hours
passed but in the Spirit Room, months passed for
Tomata and Goku.
"Hey, Yamcha, you okay?" Krillian asked as he sat next
to his fellow warrior. "You seem kinda distant."
"Just thinking." Yamcha replied as he smiled.
"It's Tomata, isn't it?" Puar inquired as he hovered
next to his best friend.
Yamcha blushed brightly as he nodded. "Yeah. It's
her."
Krillian grinned as he elbowed him. "Oh... _her_.
Man, Saiyans sure can attract Humans."
"It's not like that." Yamcha argued as his face turned
even more red. "It's... well... it's... just that I'm
worried about her. Vegita is one powerful guy and he
wouldn't want to lose to Tomata. He'll kill her."
"Honestly, Yamcha, you must have more faith in her."
Eighteen said as she carried Marron with her. "Tomata
is a very strong woman and she's a Saiyan. That must
account for something."
Yamcha looked at the android and nodded once. "I just
don't want her to die." He died twice in his life,
and it wasn't the most pleasant thing he had
experienced. While they could revive her with the
Dragon Balls, it didn't seem right to have her die
anyway.
"She won't." Krillian advised, "Vegita changed somehow
from since the first time we met him. Trunks and
Bulma changed him for the better."
"Bulma doesn't remember Vegita and is head over heels
over Goku. That might make him very mad." Yamcha
reminded.
"Oh." Krillian sweat dropped. "Well, still, we have
to believe that Tomata won't die. She's tough."
"I know." Yamcha said as he thought of the months he
spent with her in the Spirit Room of Space and Time.
Tomata picked up his moves fast and had been through a
great deal. "It's just... well... what will she do
after the fight? Where will she go? I know that
she's planning to learn more about Earth and the
Humans but what else she can do?"
"Who knows?" Krillian replied.
Master Roshi came up to the group. "I couldn't help
overhear your conversation. I know what Tomata can
do." He put his hands behind his back in a sage like
way.
"What can she do, Master Roshi?" Krillian asked.
The martial arts master nodded once and rocked back
and forth. "Tomata is a Saiyan warrior or at least in
blood." Roshi explained, "So, she would know nothing
but fighting. Correct?"
The group, even Marron, nodded.
"Well..." Roshi said as he glanced at them behind his
sunglasses, "she would also have a great deal of
stamina and coordination. The best way she could
contribute to society is..." He took out a videotape
and exclaimed, "HER OWN MARTIAL ARTS WORKOUT TAPES!!!"
Everyone fell over at the response. "You gotta be
kidding! Tomata? An aerobics instructor?" Yamcha
asked.
"Can you just picture it?" Master Roshi asked as
images of Tomata appeared in his mind. She was
dressed in a tight bright outfit as she did some
humanly slow kicks. "One-two, one-two..." The old man
lost his sagely appearance and began repeating,
"one-two, one-two. Yeah, Tomata, keep on kicking!"
The group, used to Master Roshi's attitude, just
rolled their eyes.
*****
Bulma sighed as she sipped some tea her mother made.
Mrs. Briefs accidentally founded out about pregnancy
and reacted like she would normally do. "Oh Bulma!
I'm so happy you are going to have another baby! That
means that Trunks will be an older brother! Oh! I
love being a grandmother! I have to get out the old
baby stuff and the baby will have a ball!" Mrs. Briefs
gushed as she poured tea for herself.
Piccolo's eye twitched at the woman's high pitch
voice. There was something about Mrs. Briefs that
annoyed him to death. "Mrs. Briefs... can you please
shut up?!"
Mrs. Briefs stopped pouring her tea and looked at the
green man. "Huh?"
"Mom, I don't want anyone else to find out until I
tell them myself." Bulma explained, "This is
complicated."
"I guess that's right." Mrs. Briefs laughed, "That is
Goku's right?"
"Yes, and I need to wait till I can tell him before I
can tell anyone else." Bulma explained softly.
"And it will be a very good idea if Vegita or anyone
else don't know yet." Gohan added as images of a super
angry Vegita ran through his mind. It was a simple
equation. Vegita + Chi Chi + Goku and Bulma's baby =
end of world. "Say, where's Vegita?"
"He's training in the gravity room as usual." Mrs.
Briefs replied, "He's been in there all day getting
strong for his little fight with that Bulma and Goku's
friend."
"Good. Then, he didn't hear this conversation. I
know that he changed but he still has an
uncontrollable temper." Piccolo muttered worriedly
*****
*achoo!* Vegita sneezed as he did his one-finger
pushups in 600 x normal gravity. "This is insane."
Vegita grumbled. All day long, he had been letting
out his anger and frustration in pure exercise. He
trained, eat, drink, and used the bathroom. He had
every right to be mad. In the past week, they had
founded his mate after six months only to find her
with no memory of him and head over heels over
Kakarot, his archrival and sometimes friend. Then, he
founded the Exiled Saiyan that had been presumed dead
for so long and discovered that had cemented the
Exiled's family's fate was correct. The theory that
had the Saiyans in reality descended from the Humans,
hence making the two related like cousins.
There was only one good thing about this fiasco. He
was going to beat up Exile for an entire hour. That
is why he was training. He knew that Tomata had
access to the Spirit Room of Space and Time and that
she had years of training with different people. He
had lost track of Kakarot's Ki and had surmised that
he was in the Room of Spirit and Time with the woman.
He knew that the woman couldn't go Super Saiyan.
After all, she was a woman and was not even a true
saiyan. He remembered how it was only when Goku
finally accepted his Saiyan heritage that he went
Super Saiyan. The woman was not a Saiyan by legal
rights.
He smirked to himself as he rose the gravity up
another 50. "At least, it will be a good fight."
*****
Weeks had passed in the room and Tomata did flips all
over the place. She had finally managed to not only
get used to the tail but learned how to use it to her
advantage. "This is great!" Tomata exclaimed as she
landed on her feet. "This tail is helping me get
stronger."
Goku approached her smiling at Tomata's exclamation.
She had been able to handle the Super Saiyan form and
master it in such a small amount of time. He loved
how she had grown much stronger in the time that
passed. Over the months and technically years they
spent together, Tomata had grown much stronger and
seemed more content. "That's cool. But, we both did
well without our tails."
"True. But, you lost your tail by your own will.
Gohan and the others never really cared about their
tails. Vegita... from what I heard lost his in
battle. I lost mine as punishment for a crime that
was never truly committed." Tomata wrapped her tail
around her waist like a belt. "It's like a sign. I
have finally regained what was stripped of me.
Saiyans don't usually like losing their tails. I have
to use this gift to the best of my ability. It helps
me gain better balance and focus and I think it even
makes me stronger physically."
"Do you want to go back to the outside world now? I
bet that you want to see the others again." Goku said
as he smiled at her.
"Yes. I think it's time. Besides, Bulma might have
take that pregnancy test by now. Nervous?"
"Nope." Goku lied as his fingers twitched. He was a
wreck. The only thing that had kept his mind off of
the possiblity of him being a father to a new baby was
preparing Tomata for the battle.
*****
Gohan was eating a small snack. He had lost most of
his appetite from the surprising news. He was only
eating his fifth apple when he and Piccolo looked up.
"Tomata and Dad are out." Gohan observed.
"We better go to the Lookout fast." Piccolo said as he
picked up Bulma. "Ready?"
"Let's go." Bulma replied as they left the place.
Dr. Briefs and Trunks came in and the scientist asked
his wife, "Have you seen Bulma here?"
"She just left with Gohan and Piccolo to the Lookout."
Mrs. Briefs replied as she giggled. "Oh! Bulma has
some exciting news! But, I have to keep it a secret
until she tells everyone! I have to go and find the
old baby stuff! Bye!" With that, Mrs. Briefs left
the two confused.
"I wonder what kind of news Bulma has?" Dr. Briefs
pondered as he petted his cat on his shoulder.
"I hope it's good."
Trunks gulped as he thought of the news. He knew that
his grandfather will be able to restore his mother's
memory but now he wasn't sure. "Grandpa, can I go to
Goten's?"
"Of course, Trunks." Dr. Briefs replied, "I'll go
ahead and work on the machine."
"Thanks!" Trunks grinned as he flew off.
*****
Goten sighed as he looked out the window. Things had
been somewhat boring ever since their day at the beach
with his father. Chi Chi had been cleaning up as
usual. Gohan had vanished and now he's alone.
"I wish Trunks was here right now." Goten sighed as he
leaned on his hands.
As if someone was listening, Trunks landed in front of
the window. "Hey, Goten!" Trunks tapped on the
window.
"Trunks!" Goten exclaimed as he opened the window and
climbed through. "What are you doing here?"
"I was getting bored." Trunks answered, "What about
you?"
"Me too." Goten replied, "Things have been getting
weird. I wish we can do something."
"Well, the old fashioned hit on the head trick didn't
work." Trunks commented as he frowned, "I can't think
of anything else to do."
"Well... your grandpa will cure Bulma and Daddy and
get everything back to normal!" Goten exclaimed
happily. He wanted everything to be back to normal.
He wanted his father back to the way he was before
this mess happened. He didn't want Bulma to be with
his father, only his mother.
"Maybe." Trunks muttered. Suddenly, the two looked up
as a pair of powers appeared. "That's Goku and
Tomata!"
"Let's go."
