Goku rushed to the hospital on his flying Nimbus to where Chi-Chi was staying.
"Come on Nimbus!" cried Goku in a mix of anger and worry "She's in pain! We have to hurry!"
Over the past week, Chi-Chi had been having many odd complications with the growing fetus inside of her. Such as nausea, light-headedness, and immense pain. It had gotten to the point that Goku was taking her to the hospital so frequently, that they had decided to keep her there until further notice incase something went terribly wrong.
For the first few days of her hospitalized stay, everything was fine. No pain, no nausea, nothing. However, Goku's wife was getting a little pent up and aggravated from being stuck in a small compartment, surrounded by other sick patients and high tech machines. She would prefer being surrounded by nature as it could bring clarity and calmness to even the most vile of creatures.
So Goku had decided to take the Nimbus to their home and grab some appliances that he thought would make Chi-Chi a little less homesick, if only just.
He was half-way to there home when he felt it.
Chi-Chi's ki began to fluctuate. At first, the savior of earth thought nothing of it, as when she moved around, her ki would bobble up and down in sync. But he soon realized that her ki was fluctuating far to high and low for that to be possible. Going from virtually zero to double her normal ki. That's when he turned around and rushed back.
When he finally got to his wife's room, it looked like a scene that could only be described as chaos. Doctors and Nurses were doing everything from placing Chi-Chi on IV to giving her a blood transfusion.
"W-what's going on here?" he anxiously queried, befuddled at the sight before him "Is my wife ok?"
One of the nurses stopped what she was doing and hastily replied "While you were gone, your wife began to give birth, however there were some complexions and she is loosing a lot of blood"
Goku took a moment to absorb what was going on "W-will she be all right?'
Before she could answer, a hoarse, almost whisper-like voice was heard.
"G-Goku..."
The man in question turned and faced the perpetrator of the voice, it was Chi-Chi.
"G-Goku..." she repeated "I-I'm g-going to d-die..."
Goku choked back a hoarse laugh "How could you die? There are so many doctor's here that senzu beans would fail in comparison!"
Chi-Chi weakly smiled at her husband, even in times of death he could always see hope "G-Goku... T-take c-care of o-our son... R-raise h-him to b-be a g-great w-warrior... B-but m-make sure t-that h-he u-under s-stands t-the w-world around h-him"
Goku then heard the screams of a new-born child, his child.
"I-I'm c-counting on you, G-Goku" Chi-Chi eyes closed "G-good b-bye..." And with that, her heart gave out and she passed on into the otherworld.
Goku stood there for a few minutes trying to contemplate what had just happened. He probably would have stood there for an eternity if someone wouldn't have disturbed him.
"Err, Mr. Son?" One of the Nurses finally tried to break the painful silence that had taken over "W-would you like to hold your son?"
Goku snapped out of his daze and turned around "Yes, please" he solemnly responded as the nurse gently placed him in his hands. But before anyone could say another word, Goku lifted up the window and jumped out with his son, leaving everyone in the room in a state of shock.
Goku really didn't know where he was going, he was to filled with shock and grief over his now diseased wife. He didn't even realize that he landed a large, forest like park in west city. Goku calmly placed his son on a warm and dry patch of soil, walked about 100 feet away, and screamed in anguish.
It had been a rainy day at the Brief's compound. Not raining in buckets, but still raining none the less. Bulma sat in her living room, staring at the drops of water pelting her windowsill.
Bulma moaned out of irritation and boredom. She really wanted to put her mind to the next big task, the next invention that would help her or her friends succeed in the next trial that would undoubtedly happen in a few years. Yet, the other side of her mind wanted to do nothing but curl into a ball and go to bed, even though she was nowhere near tired.
"What's the matter babe?" her boyfriend of six years, Yamcha smoothly asked.
Bulma rolled her eyes "Yamcha, how many times have I asked you to not call me babe? Why can't you just call me Bulma?"
"But babe" Yamcha teased "you are one!"
Bulma had to resist the urge to face palm "look, I need some fresh air, I'm gonna go for a walk"
"Wait ba-Bulma!" Yamcha got up to go after her, but she had already grabbed an umbrella and slammed the door behind him "Wonder what her problem is" he mused.
Bulma knew exactly were she was going to go, her neighborhood park. She would always go there to explore, to get an idea or inspiration for a new product, or just to get some peace and quiet. She would be getting none of these today however.
A few blocks away the blue-haired genius began to notice something a bit odd. She could hear a faint scream in the distance. At first, she had thought the noise was just a trick of the wind. Yet, as she neared the park, it got louder and louder. On top of that, it also got progressively more and more windy.
"Damn" She mused "Maybe I should turn back"
But going against her better judgment and being the prideful woman that she is, she decided that she wouldn't let a "little" wind and noise stop her from enjoying her stay at the local park.
"You know" She began to realize "The wind sounds exactly like Goku screaming-"
It was then when she began to put everything together. All these weird occurrences that were happening where due to Goku! But it didn't make sense, she had seen Goku power up in his fight with Piccolo. And although it was an incredible sight to behold, it was nothing compared to the amount of power he seemed to be putting out at the moment. She had stop this. So she began to run to the park.
It didn't take her long to reach her point of interest. She was expecting a spectacular display of power, but even her wildest speculations couldn't hold a candle to the sight before her. Golden tendrils of light spewed out from between the trees, cracks began to form in the soil, and the wind speed felt as if you were in a hurricane.
"I-I gotta g-get him t-to stop!" the heir of Capsule Corp. wheezed as she attempted to reach Goku. But every step she took was harder then the last. However, just as she was about to reach Goku, he let out one final roar and sent Bulma tumbling backwards.
Bulma groaned and got up "Is it over?" She mumbled, then she looked at Goku "Gah!"
Instead of the naive, cheerful fighter, she saw a more aggressive, down right scary beast.
A jagged golden aura surrounded Goku complete with an aggressive new hairstyle with a reddish tint. But the most disturbing about Goku's new look were his pupils, or rather lack of.
Bulma was frozen stiff in shock, awe, and fear "G-Goku..."
The former student of Kami craned his neck towards the voice, lacking any emotion what so ever.
Now Bulma began to panic "Goku! Its me! Bulma! Remember! We went on the dragon ball hunt when you were 14! We fought al sorts of enemies-" Bulma continued to ramble on about past events in her fit of hysteria and fear.
Goku's pupils slowly returned and he gained a bit more control over his power. "Bulma?" He chuckled noticing her hysterical mood "Bulma, I'm not evil I won't hurt you"
Bulma blushed "Oh.. Sorry..." But her blush soon turned into anger "Damn it Goku!" she roared "The whole city was shaking! You lucky it was raining or you could have seriously injured many people!"
Goku scratched the back of his head and chuckled "Oh come on! I wasn't that bad! I was just powering up!"
Bulma sweat dropped "Goku, maybe you should check your ki, you aren't the same"
So Goku did just that and realized he was stronger, a lot stronger. "H-holy cow!... That's a lot of power!"
"Which brings me to the reason for this whole ordeal, why were you powering up here?"
Goku suddenly lost his cheerfulness, powered out of his new state and walked 100 feet to a somehow untouched swath of land and picked up a baby.
"This is my new son, he was born just a few minutes ago, Chi-Chi died giving birth to him"
Bulma suddenly felt really depressed and didn't know how to respond "Oh... I-I'm so sorry..."
"Nah don't worry about it" Goku replied upset more over his friends sadness then his own. "Time heals all wounds"
"Well, what are you going to name him?" Bulma replied, gaining a bit more confidence.
"Not really sure yet" Goku responded "There are so many names, Chi-Chi really wanted to name him Einstein, but now that she is dead I don't know what to name him" He groaned in frustration "Ugh! Gohan would know what to do-"
Just as he said "Gohan" The newborn child laughed.
"Gohan?" Goku questioned, the child giggled once more.
The savior of Earth smiled "I guess Gohan it is!"
"Would you like to go back to Capsule Corp and relax for a little while?" Bulma asked, seeing that Goku looked fairly worn and exhausted.
Goku shook his head "Nah not at the moment, I gotta train"
Bulma sweat dropped "Train?... For what?"
"I'm not sure yet" he responded "But it seemed every few years, a new threat arises, and they aren't getting any easier" He then looked towards the sleeping Gohan "If he wants to train, I have a feeling he could be a bid asset to all of us"
A chuckle escaped Bulma's lips " Ah, well see you around Son Goku!, don't go around destroying parks with your power!"
Goku laughed "See ya Bulma!" He looked towards the sky "Nimbus!" and he with his newborn son, Gohan, were off.
