In the hospital at 10 in the morning…
The nurse, Marline came into the room she thought that today would be like all the other days. She had to feed the patient by using the feeding tube, just like she had done for the last 10 years. Marline let out a sad sigh at the thought. But little did Marline know, today wasn't like all the other days. What Marline saw-or didn't see caused her to scream as hard as she possibly could and ran to find a doctor.
"Somebody!" Marline called. "Anybody! Somebody come quickly!" 'This just CAN'T be happening. Where could he possibly be?'
One male doctor saw Marline running around the hospital like a maniac and walked up to her. "What's the problem?" The doctor asked.
"Oh, Dr. Rivera…," Marline took this moment to catch her breath. "The comatose patient…"
Dr. Rivera raised an eyebrow. "The one who's been sleeping for the past 10 years? What about him?"
"He's gone," Marline explained, "Goku Son isn't in his bed anymore. It's like he vanished into thin air."
Dr. Rivera widened his eyes in disbelief. "Are you sure that he's not in bed?"
Marline nodded her head. "I'm positive," she said. Marline led Dr. Rivera inside Goku's room and, just like she said, Goku was gone.
'Hole shit!' thought Dr. Rivera. 'Don't panic Marcus, use that brain of yours.' "Marline, you and the other nurses go look in the other rooms, there's a chance he's just wondering around. I'm going to check with the security guards. After all, they were the ones that were supposed to make sure everything is okay."
Marline nodded her head. The doctor and the nurse separated and went search for their missing patient.
In the forest at 10:20 am…
"Well?" Raditz asked.
"Goku looked up at the man who claimed to be his big brother. 'What proof do I have that everything he told me was true? Why should I care? All I want is to see me son,' Goku thought. Goku's thoughts then turned to his son, Gohan and the woman he loved, Chichi. He was filled with regret for not being there for Gohan's birth and guilt for not being there while Chichi's death. It made him want to cry.
"Well?" Raditz repeated.
Goku was brought back to reality and his eyes became bright with rage. Goku got up and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Raditz asked. He was really confused; he thought that once he found his little brother that everything would go just as planned and that Kakarrot would come with him and his comrades willingly. He really didn't understand what was going on.
"I'm going to find my son," Goku said. "I'm going to get my baby boy."
Raditz just stared at him before speaking.. "You know he's not a baby anymore," he said. "He's ten years old."
"Then that's ten years that I missed out on," Goku said. His voice became raw with self pity. "I need to find him."
"We're on that already," Raditz said. "But you need to help us."
"Why should I?" Goku asked with an edge in his voice. "What does that have to do with me?"
"This isn't like any enemy that you have ever faced," Raditz said. "Once he finds out that you and your son have Sayian blood running through your veins he will not stoop until you both are dead. Do you understand that? You both will be in danger for as long as you live and he'll kill anyone that crosses paths with him!"
Goku said nothing for a while. "I still need to see my son," he finally said to himself. "If it wasn't for that thing that hit me in the head I would never have fallen into that coma."
Raditz hesitated for a moment. When his little brother had described the object that caused his coma, he realized that the object was a saiyan spaceship… his sayain spaceship. He could see that Kakarrot was already frustrated with him and he didn't blame him for it; he didn't want to destroy the fragile relationship that was between him and Kakarrot.
"Wait Kakarrot," Raditz called. "I'll go with you." Radditz jogged until he caught up with Goku.
Goku raised his eyebrow. "Why are you coming?"
"It's become obvious that you won't listen to reason and I can't let you jeopardize our mission," Raditz explained. "Besides the boy's my nephew; I want to meet him."
"Then let's fly," Goku said. Both brothers, older and younger, floated into the air and they flew into the city.
In the sky at 10:30 in the morning…
"Gohan slow down will you? I think I'm going to slip." Videl was holding onto Gohan while the boy was flying a little too fast.
"Alright, I'll slow down," Gohan said. He slowed down a little bit and held onto Videl a little tighter. "You know, maybe I should teach you how to fly. Or maybe Piccolo will be able to do it."
"Whose Piccolo?" asked Videl. "Are we going to visit him?"
'Piccolo is both my friend and my teacher. He's the one who taught how to fly and how to use my powers," Gohan explained. "He also knew my father before he went into a coma. We're going to visit him for my birthday. Then we'll visit my father's other friends."
"Gohan I have a question," Videl announced.
Gohan stopped and turned his head so that he could look at Videl. "Yes?"
"If your father knew all of these people then how come none of them adopted you?" Videl asked in curiosity.
"Well they tried," Gohan explained. "But children's services wouldn't let them because they didn't approve of their lifestyle and they aren't biologically related to me. If it wasn't for that then I probably would be living with one of them."
"Oh," Videl said. 'Well I hate to admit it,' thought Videl. 'But I'm glad that you weren't adopted.' "Gohan are we almost there yet?" Videl asked.
"Yes Videl we're right above the place," Gohan answered. Without another word exchanged between to two, Gohan lowered them both to ground.
