Thank you all for your spectacular reviews! I greatly appreciate how much you guys like my story!

Simgr101- I chose the reason why Goku should head back to the time Vegeta attacked, was because I wanted him to have already met King Kai. It would be kinda weird to know techniques without meeting King Kai first- would be kinda awkward. Even if Goku could use instant transmission, and could probably explain, but then the higher ups(supreme Kai, Grand Kai -etc.) would have to come down, and then a lot of crazy stuff would happen and it would just be a drag to explain everything.

American Vigor- Actually, not to disappoint you, but I'm not going to have Goku confront Gero early, or with Majin Buu. I have reason why. Firstly, Goku never really knew where Gero's lab is because he still had the heart disease. Secondly, 18 needs to be activated so that she and Krillin could be together. Thirdly, Babidi and his men don't really show up until that time of the World Martial Arts Tournament, so I wouldn't see how they would be able to track him down if possible. Although I'm definitely up for Vegeta and Goku teaming up for defeating Frieza.

Enjoy the chapter everyone!


Previously,

"Fine. If your not going to make a move then I will." Vegeta said. He jumped and charged at Goku. He landed a hit on his face, sending him flying across the rocky terrain with the large bolders toppling over him.

(Now)

Goku had laid under the bolders for while, still processing what just had happen. It took him a moment, but it finally registered in his mind. He had been sent back. Though it still confused him greatly, he finally moved the bolders off of him so that he can face Vegeta once again. He got up and shook his head quickly just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He wasn't.

'Okay not what I was expecting but I came back.' Thought Goku.

He turned to face Vegeta who had a smirk on his face as if telling him that he was pathetic. Goku felt like crap. Perhaps the whole going back in time made him tired, or something, he didn't know because he didn't do anything. He actually wanted to lay down to calm his pounding head, though he shook it off, ready to face Vegeta, though now he wish he didn't, he just made himself dizzy.

Goku ignored his headache and went into his fighting stance. He didn't know if he still had his strength still, or he was back to his old strength when he first fought Vegeta. He didn't know, but just to make sure, he going to hold back.

Goku charged toward Vegeta, raising his fist. Vegeta saw this and quickly blocked his face, however, Goku punched his abdomen sending him flying backwards.

'So I still do have my strength. I'll have to hold back more than I thought.' Goku frowned as he concentrated to get his ki low enough to match Vegeta's. Once he did, he charged towards the prince once again, only this time he gave him a round house kick.

Frustrated that a mere lower class saiyan had actually made him hurt, Vegeta pulled himself together. He landed on his feet but quickly attacked Goku.

Both saiyans fought each other roughly. They landed punches and kicks on each other making the other bleed, or grabbing the other and sending him crashing into the bolders.

Vegeta dodged a kick from Goku, however, he saw that he wasn't truly focused. He noticed that he would hold his head, as if trying to stop the pain. Goku grabbed his head, and Vegeta used that to his advantage. He quickly kneed Goku in the stomach, then he clasped his hands together and hit Goku in the back of the head, sending him straight toward the ground head first. He gathered a ki blast and aimed it toward the fallen saiyan.

Goku crashed head first to the ground. He clutched his head in pain as Vegeta and the ground made it worse for him. Goku quickly moved himself out the way as a ki blast was aimed toward him. Still holding onto his head, he looked up and saw Vegeta gathering up his ki for his Gallic Gun.

"I'm going to destroy you and this planet!" Vegeta shouted angrily while he Gallic Gun was about ready to fire.

Goku chanted the Kamehameha Wave, trying to make it as weak as possible so as not to kill Vegeta.

They both fired at the same time, and both attacks were at the same level. However, Goku made his a little stronger, while Vegeta struggled to gain control. Goku's Kamehameha Wave struck Vegeta, sending him upwards in the sky.

Goku knew he would back, but until a little while, so he used the little time he had to try and calm down his pounding head. He ignored Yajirobe as he kept saying how great it was that he defeated the evil saiyan. Goku just said that he was still alive and that he was simply waiting for him to come back down. That made Yajirobe leave quickly.

It was just a few moments before Vegeta finally returned.

"How clever of you to destroy the moon Kakarot, but it did you no good!" Vegeta chuckled darkly as he began to gather Ki in his palm.

Goku didn't reply since he had nothing to do with the moon, though he still wondered who blew it up. He never found out, only because he never asked.

Vegeta threw the white glowing Ki ball into the sky. It glowed brightly and it became bigger. Vegeta looked down at Goku and smirked.

Goku already knew what that was, a replicated moon that transforms saiyans into the almighty Oozaru. He waited as Vegeta was fully transformed into an ape.

Once he was quickly transformed, Vegeta wasted no time to attack Goku. He quickly lifted his leg to crush the little saiyan. Goku dodged effortlessly. He already knew what was to come next, so he decided to change that. He used that after image to fool Vegeta, he appeared right in front of his face, punching the mighty ape in the forehead, sending him toppling backwards. Vegeta tried to hit Goku by punching his body, but he missed, he tried again, but he failed. Goku was just too fast. Every time he tried hit Goku, he would miss and Goku would land a hit on him, making him feel pain.

'Impossible! How is he able to move that fast?' Thought Vegeta.

Goku gathered a weak Ki into his palm and fired it at Vegeta. The blast had send the great ape flying backwards. Goku thought it was about time to finish the battle, and the pounding in his head. He quickly flew over to Vegeta as the he rose to his feet again. Goku once again used that after image, appearing behind Vegeta. as he looked around to find him. Goku summed up a bit of Ki to cut off Vegeta's tail.

Vegeta began to shrink back to his original size rapidly. Wasting no time, Goku quickly shot a Ki blast to Vegeta, giving him no time to react.

Coughing up a bit of blood, Vegeta knew he had to leave. With his pride completely shattered, he left in his space pod.

Goku softly landed on the ground. He grunted in pain as his headache suddenly became worse.

"Daddy!"

Goku looked up in the skies to see his son flying towards him with Krillin following behind him. Then he saw the little yellow plane on their tails. Goku tried to smile, however, the pain in his head became so unbearable, he blacked out.


His eyes were closed, but he felt that he was lying down on something soft, and something cool was on his forehead. He heard noises coming from the other room.

Goku opened his eyes. He looked around to figure out where he was, then he realized he was in Kame House. He slowly sat up, a small towel fell off his forehead. He closed his eyes. Good thing his headache disappeared, and he no longer felt tired. He felt fresh. He opened his eyes again and looked out the window. He guessed it was mid-morning from the looks of it.

Goku heard small steps coming his way. He heard them finish climbing up the stairs, he waited for his son to enter the room.

Gohan turned the door knob and pushed the door to see if his dad had awoken yet. The first thing he saw was his father sitting on the futon looking at him with a smile on his face. Gohan pushed the door open all the way and ran to his father.

"Daddy! Your awake!" Gohan tackled his father in a hug, holding him tightly as if afraid to to lose him again. Goku noticed him shaking.

"Hey there," He said softly. "Why are you crying now?" Goku held onto Gohan his lap with his hand over his head. Gohan looked up at his dad with tears in his eyes.

"I'm so happy you're okay Daddy, I missed you." Goku smiled softly at him. He held Gohan closer to him while he let the boy cry on him.

"I missed you too son." Goku whispered softly while rubbing the little boy's back. He held him close, he didn't want to let go of him just yet. He missed his family terribly, but now that he was finally back with them. Except Goten wasn't born yet, which sadden him a bit, but this time he would see his children grow up. He won't leave them again. Goku silently thanked the eternal dragon for doing this for him. He owed him his gratitude.

Goku heard the sound of running feet coming up the stairs. He guessed because Gohan had shouted that he was awake.

Everyone in Kame House had almost ripped the door off its hinges by the force of opening it roughly. To say at least it kind of startled Goku.

"Goku!" Everyone shouted his name excitingly. They were all happy to see that he was okay.

The young saiyan smiled at everyone. "Hey guys." He greeted.

"Goku."

Goku looked over to see his wife with tears in her eyes. But stubborn as she was, he knew she wouldn't let them fall.

Chichi ran to Goku and pulled him in a tight embrace. He happily returned it. He missed her smell, her smile, her everything.

"Oh Goku, I'm so glad your back." Chichi nearly cried onto him. Goku closed his eyes and breathed in her scent.

"Me too Chichi. I've missed you."

The two held each other for a while longer before they separated from each others hold. Goku looked lovingly at his wife before he finally stood up from the futon he was sitting on.

Goku carried Gohan on his left arm, smiling at the little boy who hugged him. He wrapped his right arm around Chichi's waist, bringing her closer to him. The two smiled happily at each other.

Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, Yajirobe, Ox King, Baba, and Korin looked at the family in awe. They had never seen Goku look so lovingly at Chichi, and hold Gohan with such care. It amazed them.

"Wow. It's kinda weird just staring you guys." Krillin said awkwardly.

Goku laughed a little.

Everyone in room went down into Roshi's living room again. Everyone simply talked for bit before it all became serious. They talked about how they were going to bring their friends back to life, until Goku mentioned King Kai. King Kai gave them the coordinates to planet Namek that only Bulma understood. Bulma had argued that it would take over 4,000 years to get to planet Namek, then she remembered the saiyan space pod that was still on earth, until she made it self-destruct.

'Fail' Thought Goku. He couldn't help it, he just had to think it, though he did want to say it out loud but he didn't want to get hit either so he kept his mouth shut.

Mr. Popo had stopped by, saying he knew how to get to Namek with an alien spaceship. Everyone suggest Bulma to go with Mr. Popo, much to her dismay since she was a bit creeped out by the genie looking guy.

Everyone in Kame House was quiet. No one really had anything to say much.

Chichi stared at Goku for a while. She noticed something different about him, his features show how calm and relaxed he is, not a single tense muscle. His face showed maturity, not his child like features he had a year ago. It had all went away. She also noticed how much bigger his body is, he was no longer a lean body man. No, his muscle were much bigger then she remembered. The way he was sitting looked as if he was meditating, but with his eyes open. Was that possible? She noticed everyone else was at least a bit tense while they were waiting for Bulma to return hopefully with good news, even she was a bit tense, but not Goku. Why though?

"Something wrong Chichi?" Goku asked her, noticing that she was staring.

Chichi looked at him for moment. She smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing." Goku gave her a questioning look. She merely smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder. Goku was a bit confused, but simply let it pass, he slightly leaned toward her. Gohan took this chance to sit on his dad's lap.

It took a while longer before Bulma had finally returned. She had explained everything that had happened with Mr. Popo. Since Mr. Popo could not journey with them, they agreed to meet on Roshi's island in ten days.

They all stayed a little longer before they had left. Bulma left early, saying that she would get started on Kami's ship. A little after she left, it was time that Goku and his family went home as well. Goku called the Nimbus cloud. Goku jumped on, then helping Chichi up. She sat behind him while Gohan sat on his lap.

It was a peaceful ride on their way home. Gohan had fallen asleep not long after they left. Goku nor Chichi had spoken on their way home, they didn't have to speak, the silence was comfortable for both of them. Chichi breathed in Goku's scent, she had deeply missed him when he had died, but now he was back, and Gohan too. She wouldn't be alone anymore like she was before.

They had finally arrived home. Goku missed his home, he no longer felt the pain whenever he saw it. He felt happy to be back into his own house. Goku carried Gohan in one arm, while his other arm helped Chichi down off the Nimbus cloud.

They walked into their home. Goku looked around his home, it was just like before. He never did get the chance to return home after Vegeta had came to Earth. He was in the hospital, then he was at Namek, then he was training for the better year and a half.

Chichi walked into the kitchen, and Goku went to place Gohan in his room to sleep, but he changed him into his pajamas so that he could sleep comfortable, instead of wearing his training gi Piccolo had given him. Goku placed the blankets over Gohan, he was going to leave but he stared at his son for a while longer, seeing how peaceful he slept. He remembered during their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber Gohan would get terrible nightmares of people dying. But, he would always calm down whenever Goku slept beside him with his arms wrapped around his child. He knew that Gohan would always feel protected and warm whenever he was around him. Goku felt guilty for leaving his son to take care of Chichi and his brother. Goku leaned down and kissed Gohan's forehead, he smiled in his sleep. Goku had to laugh a little. He walked out of his son's room, closing the door behind him.

Goku walked into the living room, seeing Chichi cleaning the small table they had in front of their couches. He slightly shook his head. She was always cleaning.

Goku walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her small waist.

"Goku?" Chichi held onto his arms that were wrapped around her. She felt him lean his face in the crook of her neck, his breath slightly tickled her.

"What are you thinking?" He asked her, still hugging her from behind.

"What?"

"You were staring at me for while back at Roshi's house. Why?"

Chichi's eyes slightly widen. "You noticed that?"

"How could I not?" He replied. "What's on your mind Chi?"

Chichi did not reply right away. She had thought about earlier, why Goku was acting so calm. He had noticed her staring, even without looking at her. She was amazed at what Goku could do without her knowing.

"You're different all of a sudden..."

Goku placed his chin on her shoulder and closed his eyes. He breathed in her smell. "Is that bad?"

Chichi leaned onto his chest, and closed her eyes. "No."


Finally, ten days have past.

Everyone began to prepare for Namek, and head out to Roshi's island where they agreed to meet.


Sweet! I'm so proud of myselfxD
