Chapter 4-Goku meets his son
"All righty, looks like we've gotten the cleaning done," Chichi said happily. It'd only taken about a half hour in all to get everything cleaned or removed with Goku strength and speed. Any normal person would've taken at least a day.
"Great, Chichi! Bye!" Chichi turned to tell Goku to be back before dinner but saw he was already preparing to Instant-Transition. She ran to stop him, but upon grabbing his sleeve she only succeeded in sending herself with him.
Goku appeared at the lookout to find it smashed and Majuub, Goten, Trunks, Tien, and Yamcha attacking someone. Before he could get a better look at the guy Yamcha, Trunks and Goten all launched a Ki blast and Tien used his Tri Beam bringing up a cloud of smoke around their woman. A woman who had been all but forgotten by Goku stood a bit off watching, not at all moved by what just happened. Goku ran to the others, leaving Chichi behind, to find out what was going on.
"That should finish him…"Tien mumbled, wiping swat from his face. He looked up when he noticed no change in Xicors power level.
"What's going on?" Goku asked ", who was that?"
"Shouldn't you know?" said a wounded Vegeeta who had just started climbing out of his crater. Goku could see he had probably been involved in the fight earlier. Chichi made no attempt to get any closer to the others, being scared and horrified by what she just witnessed. Her baby, Goten, was just involved in the murder of whoever that was. Everyone became even more tense when they noticed the smoke clear and Xicor rejuvenate every part of him that had been destroyed.
"Goku, perhaps I should tell you, at least then it'd probably make more sense," said Princess Lila, making her way towards him. She reminded him of what happened the day that he had met her and told him of what she had done to him in his dreams. "Of course I had learned enough to know that I needed to take the form of your wife in your dreams. After that it was pretty easy. Goku, over there is your son Xicor. I brought him here so that you may train him to be the great fighter I dream him to be."
"Goku, is this true?" Goku turned to see Chichi standing behind him on the verge of tears. The fears she had earlier and punched herself over having were true. He had found a young pretty woman and cheated on her. Goku hugged her and told her it was true and that never for a moment did he think that the woman in his dreams was any one but her. She was relieved to hear these words and happily knew that they were true.
Xicor made no move to attack the others again so neither did they. He just stared expectantly at his father. He looked a lot the same as him with only a few differences in appearance. He was disappointed though. He had expected him to be stronger than that, even the super saiyan 4 he defeated earlier seemed more powerful. He was also a bit confused, his mother hadn't told him about there being someone else, another woman. It does make sense though. The man who looked like his father as well stated that he had been Gokus son and had a brother and mother.
Gohan flew up to the lookout. He was covered in cuts and bruises. He hadn't been given a sensu bean since he wasn't hurt that bad, but he held the shoulder he had landed on and grunted a little when he spoke. "Don't do it dad." Xicor was tempted to attack him again and finish him off, but thought better of it. Goku may not approve of him killing his eldest son without provocation, besides the man was bound to provoke him eventually. Instead of attacking he walked towards his father.
"Hello father, it is an honor to finally meet you," Xicor greeted. Goku had not expected his voice to be so deep. Normally Goku would have spoken with someone new easily, but this time it felt odd with it being undoubtedly his son from another woman. Him meeting Goten had been simple. This time felt so strange because this son was from another woman whom he hadn't expected to have ever fathered a child with, nor would ever have done so, willingly.
"No, the pleasure is mine," replied Goku. He looked at his two other sons. Goten looked tired and beaten and Gohan looked like he had been a helpless human mugged in a dark alley. "Though it's not as nice to find all of this," he said referring to the disaster and pain he'd caused.
"Sorry about that father. None of this was done without their attack first. Though I do feel the need to ask, will you train me?"
"Don't do it!" Gohan yelled from the edge of the lookout. Xicor held back his anger and the many attacks he would have taken pleasure in bestowing upon the mortal. He didn't need to attack anyway, instead his mother turned on him. Princess Lila turned to Gohan.
"You foolish boy! Be gone with you!" she yelled launching a Ki blast at him. Gohan managed to jump out of the way as the collided with the ground of the lookout bringing up a heap of rubble. Chichi collected all of her motherly courage.
"Don't you dare hurt my son like that!" she yelled preparing to charge her, only to stop when Princess Lila turned her anger towards her.
"Insolent woman! Why do all of you keep getting in my way! Don't you realize, I'll take over the universe either way?"
"Wait, what?" asked Xicor truly confused. He hadn't realized his mother's true intentions. He had come here to meet his father and finally be trained.
She launched a Ki ball at her as well when Goku intervened, pulling his wife quickly out of the way.
"Don't hurt my mother! KAME-HAME HA!" yelled Gohan, him and Goten producing Kamehameha's faster than expected and launched it at Princess Lila. Without time to dodge, she crumpled to the ground as the mortal wounds pain set in. Xicor rushed to his mother's aid.
"Son… Avenge me. All my power is now yours," she began to glow.
"No. I don't want your power…No…" he said, pained in the heart at what she had just said. What the stupid mortal had done to her. She disappeared completely and Xicor felt his energy increase with her power added to it. He looked up and began to scream into the air. He began to surge with power and exert it with such force that Goku had to hold onto Chichi to keep her from being blown away. Xicor turned to Gohan and turned all his anger and loss into the motivation needed to create a Ki ball of enough power to kill his mother's murderer ten times over.
The Ki ball disappeared as everything around him disappeared and all went black. Vegeeta stood behind the collapsed body. His hands were grasped together in a fist from hitting Xicor on the back of the neck, knocking him out cold. He was gasping heavily. It had taken immense force from his already tired body to hit him hard enough to knock him out. Anyone else could have had their heads ripped off from something like this. Yet Xicor just crumpled to the ground without signs that it had even broken a bone.
"Do you think that bastards finally dead?" asked Vegeeta, hoping that it was a yes.
"No, he's just unconscious. He should wake up in a couple hours," replied Goku.
"That gives us a couple hours to either kill him, ditch him on some foreign planet, or try and make piece," suggested Yamcha ", I don't know about you guys, but the second one seems like the only one that is in any way accomplishable, though I'd prefer, at this moment, the first option."
"Well, what should we do with him?" asked Chichi. She did not want to kill him. She believed against mindless killing and what she saw in him was not a murderer. She saw that he was just a miss guided teen, lead down the wrong path by someone who shouldn't have been his guide. She felt that they should set him straight, lead him back onto the right path. She didn't care that he had nearly murdered them or was there to see what he did to her son, but that may not have changed her mind at all if she had. She would have beaten him maybe, but no more than that.
Tien picked himself up off the ground ", I say it's too dangerous to let him live. When he wakes up he'll kill us all and then there will be no one to save the planet. There won't be right?" he asked Trunks.
Nope ", Trunks replied ", this generation is just as weak as the old ones."
Chichi gathered her courage and stood up for the child before her ", no, I won't let you kill him. He's just a child. Mislead into the wrong thoughts and beliefs. We can't blame him."
Trunks argued with her ", but Chichi-"
"I never thought that I'd say this," said Vegeeta ", but I agree with Chichi. It would be cowardice to kill him while he's unconscious. Like attacking someone when their back is turned."
"Then what should we do? We can't just leave him here and I don't suggest bringing him home with us," asked Yamcha.
Dende walked over to them staff in hand. He only looked a little older than he did 125 years ago, maybe in his mid to late twenties. "We could always keep him here. I'm sure we could find him a place where we could keep an eye on him. He doesn't look very skilled in fighting itself, just at surviving, so maybe a small room could confine him enough that he won't be able to attack us as easily or before any of us could knock him out again."
"It doesn't sound like the best of plans," said Tien.
"It's not fool proof, but it will have to do," suggests Goku ", I think that we should only have people who won't pose as a threat to him watching him. The Chichi, Bulma, Videl, Krillin, 18 and the children should be moved away from here, probably hide out together at home. Gohan, he may hold a grudge against you for killing his mother so you will stay with Chichi and the others to protect them in case things don't go as planned. The rest of us who aren't going in will wait nearby as a way to help whoever's in there, if Xicor attacks them. Dende, Mr. Popo, would you guys like to go with them?"
"If you don't mind Goku," said Dende ", I would like to stay here. Mr. Popo?" Mr. Popo chose to stay by his companion's side. With that, each of them hugged and kissed their family members good bye before they departed. 18 picked up Marron, Krillin flew off, Bulma was carried away by Bulla, and Pan carried Chichi while Videl helped her tired, weary husband.
They flew off in the direction of Bulma's Capsule Corp. building. Bulma turned around to look at her husband. "Good luck honey!" she called.
"Lucks got nothing to do with it," he said confidently.
Surprisingly it looked in far better shape than Chichi's little house. The only difference in it was that Trunks had swapped out all the older machines for new up to date ones. When everyone settled down inside and all seemed lost in thoughts, Pan pulled Bulla aside.
"Are you going to let them take on Xicor without us?" asked Pan. They were the closest of friends, maybe even closer, being unseperatable.
"No way!" replied Bulla. They each snook outside and flew off in the direction of the lookout.
