Carry On Wayward Son

Chapter 1.

The Universe, expanding and decreasing constantly, full of stars, galaxies, beautiful planets and civilizations. Infinity is such a marvelous enigma, one too big for Gohan's mind to even begin to comprehend. "What a beautiful recurring dream to have" he though. "I wish I could see all this". He realized it was a dream, he had dreamt it before so he knew what came next; all those beautiful colors and people were destroyed in the blink of an eye by a shadowy figure. So much power, so little consciousness of what 'It' was doing. He knew this figure, it was all too familiar but yet so dark and unknown; he just couldn't put his thumb on it.

"Who are you?, why do you haunt and kill this people?".

There wasn't an answer.

"Why do you cause this senseless destruction?".

"You know" 'It' answered.

And with that, it was over. Gohan awoke, sweaty and with a feeling of unease. He realized he had screamed because he felt his father's ki coming his way.

"Damn" He thought.

Goku opened the door in one powerful swing, worry all over his face.

"Gohan? are you ok? I heard you scream, did you had a bad dream again?".

"Uhh". "Yeah, it was just that nightmare were all the universe gets destroyed, that'll make him calm" Hethought. "Don't worry, I'm ok, it must've been Bulma's food". He faked a laugh, which seemed to relax his father's mind. "Bulma never really learned how to cook" he thought. "Well good night son, if you need me just scream again", he laughed and Gohan laughed too, forgetting his dream and that haunting shadowy figure.

"Good night", and with that his father left and he allowed himself to fall asleep again, without a clue of what was to come.


Kaio-sama, instead, couldn't sleep that night. He sensed something was wrong, something was terribly wrong. He got out of bed and went to the end of his little planet to watch the galaxy for which he was responsible. It never ceased to amaze him, just how beautiful it all could be, it always seemed to relax him but this time it failed. He could still sense something there, something strange and dark. He looked at his humble house and pet friend Bubbles, he was sound asleep. He then looked back at the galaxy and suddenly realized what was bothering him; a strange yet familiar ki was coming his way. Before he could think of anything 'She' landed and his life was lost in a matter of seconds, along with his home planet. The last word to come out of his mouth was...

"Baobhan?".


Enjoy.
