ME: Yes, it's me! This fic has been kicking around in the back of my mind
for ages, just begging to be written. Without my muse, Taz, (Growls at the
sound of the currently MIA muse.) I've not really felt like writing much.
But I got Vegeta to help me with this one! (Pats the short one on the
head.)
VEGETA: I'm not short!
ME: Yes you are, Vegeta. You're about the same height as I am!
GOKU: (Sad) Why didn't you ask me to help you with this fic?
ME: Because it's about you, baka.
GOKU: (Brightening) Oh, ok then!
ME: Now, without any more blabbering. DISCLAIMER TIME!
DO I OWN DRAGONBALL Z? NOPE. NOT LAST TIME I CHECKED ANYWAY.
ME: Ok now, it's fan fiction time!

This fic is about other Dragonball Z character's thoughts on Goku. Is he a hero? I say no, but the Zfighters and rest of the cast think differently. Set after Goku has left for good. Try to work out who says what. WARNING: SOME GOKU BASHING. IF YOU'RE GONNA FLAME ME FOR IT, DON'T READ THIS!
It's hard. I get up every day and try to live my life. I was forced to grow up fast. You haven't been here for me. There's always a reason to leave, isn't there? Why do you even bother coming back? Do you care at all? No, you don't. Fighting is your love. Your strength and your power are your children. No need for you to stay. If you loved us, you would have been here for us.
Are you a hero? Not in my eyes.
Goku. Always going off and leaving us alone. When you return, it's like you were never gone. You expect everyone to wait for you. I don't want to wait anymore. The game is tiring now. We've played so many times and you always win. Even though I don't want to, I'll always find myself waiting for you. It's always the same. Every time you leave, we will wait. Hoping you'll come back. Why? We love you, but you don't seem to love us.
Are you a hero? No. I don't think you are, not anymore.
A true warrior. Yes, that's what you are. You'll risk it all for the sake of one good fight. Just like a Saiyan. But the Saiyans are dead. And the survivors have all settled down to a life of mediocrity and peace. I have too, grown placid as the years have gone by. No longer the need to fight the never-ending battles. My hate has gone, replaced by love, pride and a strange sense of peace. Not so with you though, you never lost that fighting spirit. I know you will continue to fight wherever you are, never caring about anyone, or anything. You don't seem to care. I may never have beaten you, but I'll always be the better man.
Are you a hero? No, but you are a warrior. Always.

ME: Well, what do you think? I was strongly advised by a friend not to post this fic. He seems to think that I'll get flamed uncontrollably by Goku lovers who don't agree with my views. So please, if you love Goku, don't flame me just because you don't think it does him justice. I'm sick of belief flamers. I don't mind constructive criticism if it's fair, but I don't like it when people flame unnecessarily. Ok, now I've got my rant out the way. Tell me, what do you think? Who said what? And is Goku a hero in your opinion? I don't know, so you'll have to review and tell me!
