In the beginning, it was wonderfully warm and safe. He could hear the voice outside and he wanted to meet this person, this person that kept it safe and lovely here. There was another voice that seemed happy enough, but as the days passed on, there was greater and greater sadness.
However, he was growing too large for the small safe place. He felt the space around him grow small at times, as though it wanted to push him out. He felt the same. He'd been growing in size and his wanting to meet the voice outside.
Another voice was coming close. It was familiar. Usually it was soft and warm. The first voice sounded frightened and the second sounded angry almost. He was frightened now, as the warm space around him grew tight, and this place he loved to swim in was disappearing. He was suffocating now and his only relief, his blood told him, was if he got out.
But his... chest hurt.
His eyes were filled with brightness, and he was now freezing! Large warm things holding him seemed to sear his flesh. His chest began to hurt, and he let out a cry as his blood advised.
"Gine," he heard, and it was from the second voice. "He's okay." The voice came from the large thing holding him; it was the familiar one, the one that was soft.
"Let me... see," came another voice, and he softened his cries in order to better hear the voice that had been near his since his conception.
His vision began to clear as he was passed from large warm things to smaller warm things. The creature in front of him showed an expression of joy, as well as one of tiredness.
"Bardock, he... looks like you." The soft hands brought him close to her face. He felt safe. "You look just like your sire, Kakarotto."

His mind was cloudy and it hurt so much. He opened his eyes slowly, blinking against the bright light. He heard soft, worried tones from the person that had found him. Soon, that person came into clarity.
"Goku, thank the Heavens you're awake." The man caressed the boy's cheek for a moment, tears in his eyes and it seemed as though he had been crying for a long while now. "I thought…"
"Grand… pa?"
His grandfather broke out into sobbing, and the boy named Goku felt something stirring in his chest. It was familiar, and it made him longing for something that he knew didn't exist anymore.
He remembered that mission that he had been given, and what his sire and dam and told him. Looking at his grandfather now, he realized that his progenitors were right and he could be happy here. He could live here, as the Last One. The blood in his veins was finally calm after months of rage and sadness.
"Grandpa… I'm okay."
He would never forget.
