Dragonball AF : Xicor Saga : Redemption

Episode II : Temptation and Confrontation

"What's the problem humans? Confused?" Princess Bic taunted. "Lies," hissed Gohan. The group looked on. Confused and puzzled at what she was getting at. They thought the same thing; 'Goku has three sons?' Hearing what the princess Goddess had just said ChiChi came storming up in front of the crowd. "What are you talking about Goku's son?"

"Apparently you heard me, while he was off training from planet to planet he came to me and, without getting into details, Xicor was born," Princess Bic explained, truth sought in her light blue eyes. "Listen hussy, I'm his wife and he would never cheat on me and especially never disappoint his TWO sons."

"What? How dare you insult the likes of me you pompous woman! You should be ashamed!"

The group watched the two women throw insults at each other, harsh mudslinging. Screaming and shouting and rude hand gestures. Xicor knew his mother wasn't getting anywhere with this so decided to take it into his own hands. "So where is he?" The Z fighters looked at Xicor and noticed his eyes. His right eye a glowing light brown, like Goku's eyes. His left a bright winter blue like Xicor's mothers. His voice was deep, but for some reason very similar to Goku's voice. The fact of Xicor being the youngest son of Goku was becoming more and more convincing.

"Why should we tell you?" Gohan asked, about to start a fight with his half brother. "Gohan take it easy he hasn't done anything to us, yet," Goten tried to calm his brother. Vegeta began to beam at the fight he thought was about to take place. "He's insulted our father Goten, just his appearance as he stands before us is an insult," Gohan went on. Xicor narrowed his eyebrows and lowered his arms, "Fine, I'll go look for him myself." And with that Xicor vanished.

From behind Princess Bic and ChiChi shouted at the same time, "HEY WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?" when they noticed Xicor leave. Princess Bic turned her attention back to this infuriating woman and detested, "This is all your fault woman!"


Xicor reappeared atop a snow-covered mountain. Xicor shivered slightly, "Ok Goku where are you? I know you're on this planet somewhere." Xicor started to fly north and looked down He kept flying…and flying…and flying until he needed a small break. He was about to descend himself until someone from behind dropkicked him in the back sending him to the ground.

'How did he not sense me coming?' the stranger thought. Xicor sat up perched on his knees and noticed a somewhat thick tree branch plunged deep into his leg. He grabbed a hold of it and looked up hearing feet hit the ground. "So you must be Goku. Pleased to finally meet you. My name is Xicor."

"The pleasure is all mine. But I need to know what you're doing on this planet and who you are, besides just your name. And doesn't that branch in your leg hurt?" Goku questioned the young man. Xicor looked at his leg and pulled the branch out with some difficulty. The wound instantly healed in seconds, but the hole still scarred his pant leg. "I'm half God and can regenerate any part of my body. Which in turn makes me a little more stronger seeing how I'm also half Saiy-jin, if you couldn't tell" Goku noticed his tail and looked on; Xicor now had his attention.

"Which leads me to your second question. I'm half Saiy-jin because of you. Do you remember Princess Bic? That's my mother and you're my father." Goku looked somewhat shocked. It was funny he did remember. He also remembered the rose, in which he still had. Maybe this boy knew something about it. So Goku pulled out the rose in a little glass container from inside the bag he was carrying, keeping all of his valuables safe.

"Does this mean anything to you," Goku asked presenting the flower to him. Xicor rose from the ground and held the glass box staring at the plant inside. "My mother had given this to you, yes," Goku nodded, "It's a symbol of me. It's the same colors of my hair. Haven't you notice Goku? I have your' black hair and my mother's silver hair. Plus I have your eye. I guess you can say everything's kinda split evenly with me between the two of you seeing how God genes and Saiy-jin genes clash horribly…" Goku had to laugh, but for some reason he believed every word the man before him said to him.

"Tell me Xicor, how old are you?"

"I'm 19 years old sir," Xicor answered him giving the rose back. "That's how long ago I met your mother and that's how long I've been haunted by her and this rose. Please come back to look out with me, and trust me, I do believe you're my son."

The two took to the sky and rushed off. Goku could feel this boy's immense power, astonishing. Xicor may actually be substantially stronger then himself. Goku studied Xicor, he did truly believe this was his son, it was a father instinct. He has the feeling when he is with Xicor as when he was with Gohan and Goten. Goku was sure this was his biological son and couldn't be anymore happier.

The two men arrived at the look out and saw the two women still fighting. They were so distracting the people in front of Goku and Xicor must have not noticed the ki's signatures behind them.

"You whore! You're just making lies! LIES!" ChiChi screamed. "O yea? Well let me tell you a tale of what exactly happened. Nineteen years ago, I was enlightened to learn of Goku's magnificent power. Seeing how he was Saiy-jin, and male, I could use him to make the perfect being. You probably can not even fathom it! A being half God and Half Saiy-jin! But mind you he lives.

"I wanted this perfect being so desperately and I needed Goku. So I created a planet, probably around 1,000 times gravity of that of Earth. Of course he came. I would let him rest in my palace until he was ready to help me. But some problems got in the way so I knocked him out and I decided it would be easier to seduce him in his dreams. And I did obviously. Xicor is my proof. Isn't that correct Goku?" she finished looking towards him.

"Yes," was heard from behind and everyone whirled around to see Goku standing beside the taller man Xicor. ChiChi held her hands to her mouth in udder shock. "No…" she whispered. "Father," Gohan spoke as he stepped the man in front of him, "how could you believe this? This guy is not your son. You wouldn't do that. Besides they have no proof!"

"O come on Gohan look at him! He looks just like me. He looks like you and your brother! Who are you trying to fool? Everything Princess Bic said was true and Xicor is my son! It's just instinct, I know he is." Everyone looked on at the father son confrontation. Vegeta smirked and interrupted as usual, "Or is it because his Ki signature is almost an exact replica of your own?"

Yamcha looked at Tien standing next to him who looked at him back. Then they looked at Xicor who was standing a couple feet away from Tien and also caught their glance. He shrugged, they shrugged back. "You know what Vegeta? You're absolutely right," Goku said to Vegeta for the first time in over a hundred years.

"Twenty-five years ago marked one hundred years of solitude confinement helping Shenron regenerate positive energy. After that hundredth year I set out across the galaxy training. Six years after that I came across Salem-sei, where Princess Bic lured me. I left nervous and paranoid and continued my training for nineteen years now. Until I just somehow sense something was going down here," Goku told his friends and family, filling in gaps of the Princesses story.

18 stepped beside Krillen and asked, "Is that why you didn't return to life with the rest of us? Because you were never dead, and never will be right?" Goku nodded. He had become an immortal thanks to Shenron. Goku could now protect anyone anywhere, just as his life had always been.

ChiChi parted through the crowd and stood before her husband. She looked up to see the sadness in his eyes and that expression that told her he already knew what she was going to say. "You cheated on me," she stated more then asked. Her low yet harsh whisper sent chills down his spine.

"No. You don't understand," he held her hands and looked her straight in the eye, "I'm faithful, I would never. When I had that dream, I was with you after so long," he was now on his knees, "I'm so devoted to you. I saw my wife after a hundred and six years, it was your eyes I was looking into, she was an illusion."

ChiChi dropped to her knees and buried her head into Goku's chest, and he held her. "This is sickening! And I say this ends now! I came here for one purpose and ONE purpose only! That was for Xicor to be trained so my plans can follow through," Princess Bic shouted getting every ones attention. Xicor looked at his mother confused, 'Plans?'

Before Xicor could react his mother jumped into air, right hand raised to the heavens. A purple like lightening bolt was gripped in her hand and swung her arm forward sending the purple ki beam towards Goku and ChiChi on the ground.

In a split second Goku pulled himself and ChiChi aside. But unfortunate for Princess Bic Gohan reacted quickly returning a Masenko blast making a direct hit. Xicor stood still as he watched his mother from the sky. He drew in a quick breath and sprinted forward shoving Gohan out of his way and onto the ground.

"No! Mom! Wake up! Please open your eyes, please… please… please… ," Xicor held his mother in his arms close to his chest as he kneeled be fore her bleeding body. She weakly opened her eyes and placed her hand on her son's chest, "I give my power, energy, and everything of mine to you, I'll always be in here… so you'll know…. Where to… find… me… ," And with she drew her last breath and her hand fell limply.

"No… ," Xicor whispered as tears fell from his varied colored eyes. He laid her down and prayed. He prayed for some kind of higher power to care for his mother. Her body translused then finally vanished. Xicor still look at the spot of his mother's body. He finally understood her "plans". She wanted to create the perfect warrior to take over the universe. That's why Xicor was created, so his mother could no longer be the one to envy others, but to finally have others envy herself. He never wanted that; all he wanted was to meet his father.

And now Enma had taken her body because of her evil intentions. Xicor was alone. Confused. Shocked. Sad. And horribly mixed creating a certain chemical imbalancedeep inside himself.

After remorse and grief settled firmly in his river of emotions, rage and hatred began to surface. He pounded his fists into the ground as his power built layer over layer over layer. Finally the pressure was too great and painful for Xicor as he finally exploded. Most of the Z senshi had been knocked over from this explosion of anger.

Goku stood back up as he helped up Gohan. "Gohan, you have got to learn to control yourself. You don't understand how powerful Xicor is!" Goku shouted over the howling winds. "He's going back to where he came from! Even if I do it my self!" Gohan yelled back. Gohan kept a straight face seeing his fathers disapproving look.
