Goku had decided it was time to see an old friend. He'd been to the planet a few times before, but hadn't been there in a while.
'Good thing it's only a few hours away,'
he thought. 'or else I'd be here for a while!'
*-Time skip: 3 ½ hours later-*
"Finally, it's in sight!"
He was enthusiastic to see Kaito again. But when it came into full view, he could tell something wasn't right. When he landed, he took notice of the dull lighting.
"What happened here?"
Then he felt a flicker of energy. It was a weak signal, but a hope for life on the dead world. He sat and waited for the flicker again. When he did catch it, it was longer than last time; giving him enough time for Instant Transmission. When he popped into the house, however, he recognized everything around him. He saw Kaito lying lifelessly on the ground. Kaito was gone now. He was glad he had control over his emotions. Even if he did, he still shed a tear for his friend. That's when it happened again… He felt the flicker for a third time, coming from the basement. So he went to see what it was. That's when the wave crashed harder against him. There was a little girl in the farthest corner, crying. She had black, curly hair and bright, blue eyes. She looked no older than five and as tall as Goten at most. It was interesting that the inhabitants looked just like earthlings. It fascinated him for not being human himself.
"Wh-Who a-are you? Where's my Daddy!?"
He held his hands up in defense.
"Calm down, I just got here!"
He climbed down the last few steps.
"Your Dad and I were best friends. My name's Goku."
"Goku?"
She relaxed her shoulders.
"Daddy told me a lot about the adventures you guys went on!"
"Did he?"
"Yeah!"
He sat down and she walked up to him and he put her on his lap.
"One time, Daddy told me that there was a bad guy here a long time ago, and that you guys trained for a long time and you fought together. But he never told me the end. Will you tell me? Please?"
'They were probably in the middle of disaster before he could tell her the rest. Poor baby,'
"Well, we didn't win the first time, so we told him to come back in a year. And he did. But, he didn't know that your Dad and I trained without stopping for that whole year. We only stopped to eat, go to the bathroom, and to sleep. Then guess what happened when we fought?"
"You won?"
"That's right, we did!"
He tickled her sides; making her wiggle and giggle (A.N. Ha-ha, I rhymed… I'm keeping that in.)
"Guess what?"
"Huh?"
She was still catching her breath.
"I got here from another planet."
"Really!?"
"Yeah! Now, what do you say we get out of here?"
"What about Daddy?"
"I'll tell you later. There's a reason Daddy has to stay."
"Oh, okay."
She didn't know this, but she'd thank him for it later. He distracted her long enough to get her out of the house without seeing her parents' bodies or the bad shape her home was in.
"You really took on a monster?"
"Yeah, and if he stood on my head, the monster was still taller!"
"Wow!"
He got into the ship and closed the door. She yawned.
"You tired?"
She nodded.
"Well, you have to sit with me until we can unbuckle, then you can lay down, alright?"
"Okay."
He strapped her in, strapped himself, and then he took off. Once it was stable, he unstrapped her and cradled her. Once she was asleep, he laid her down on some extra blankets and covered her with another. He sat back down ad looked up to the sky. Or, the roof in this matter.
"She's just like you, Kaito. I just wish I would've gotten there sooner. This probably wouldn't've happened."
Unbeknownst to him, Kaito was looking down on him; smiling.
"Thank you for saving her, Son Goku. Raise her to be strong and caring, like you."
He had sworn he could hear Kaito, and so he smiled at the journey ahead of him. He couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
