I don't own dbz, Akira Toriyama does.
Chapter 10: Explanation
" Kakarot is that you?"
Opening his eyes, he saw his friend Gogeta in front of him.
" Nope it's me Goku." Goku replied as he saw Gogeta in front of him holding the girl he met the other night.
Gogeta let out a relieved sigh. He was definitely glad that Goku was back. Unlike Kakarot, Goku was a lot more helpful and more nice. He grinned at him as Goku smiled. Goku looked at the girl in Gogeta's arms. His face changed into a worried one.
" Is she okay?"
Gogeta looked down at Chichi and then back at Goku. " She's been knocked out for sometime from the heat. We've been trying to get her some water. But of course, Kakarot hasn't been helping much."
Goku scratched his head as he looked up. " When will my other side ever help out? Must be tiring for you guys to deal with him."
Gogeta looked at his friend and asked " Why does that have to happen to you anyways? It doesn't make sense."
" Yeah I know, but it's really necessarily for the sake of this planet. There's too much power stored in me so it has to be divided by two. If it's not divided, I'd probably not be able to control this power. I wish I'd be able to come out more than my counterpart. He's not the friendliest with people from what everybody tells me." Goku laughed, rubbing the back of his head.
Gogeta shook his head. " Nope not one bit. But besides, you think you could help me find water for Chichi? She really needs to drink something. She's not use to the heat here, but I'm sure she'll adjust to it like Bulma did."
Goku nodded his head and said " No problem, you stay here and keep a watch on her. Oh and tell Bulma that I'm back. I don't want to get hit by her like last time."
" Yeah I'll tell her."
Goku gives Gogeta a thumbs up and runs off. Gogeta stands in place as he watches his friend leave. He kind of felt bad for him in a way. Their lives have been a confusing mess. He ended up being used for a lab experiment to help Goku out with his power. He actually had some of Goku's power and some of the Prince's power. Both power's were joined in him. Even though they tested everything on him, the experiment came out different. Since they only tried it on Goku by himself, it ended up dividing his power and surprisingly his personality. One side was all good and the other all flaws Goku had. But little by little Kakarot was able to somewhat change. Raditz and Turles weren't exactly the happiest when they found out what their father did to their younger brother. Both enraged, they ended up destroying the building where their father was working. Not knowing that their father was there, he ended up blowing up in the process. Both thought that their father wasn't working that day, but they didn't feel that bad. Their father was getting on their last nerves. They have told everyone that knows them, to never mention their father's name. Gogeta looked down at Chichi. She was sweating and breathing heavy. A strange feeling crept up on him as he stared at her. For some reason, he felt as if this girl, as kind as she was, was going to end up causing him to do something out of hand later on. Shaking that feeling away, he sighed.
" Hey I found some water at the Getjo Village!"
Gogeta looked up ahead and saw Goku running towards him with a jar in hand. Even he would have to admit, that was super fast. He then noticed someone flying above him. It was Goku's other brother Turles.
" Great! Quick let's give her some to drink. I hope she's conscious still."
Goku and Gogeta both got down on their knees. Turles set down nearby as he watched the two Saiyans. He opened the lid of the jar and placed the jar over Chichi's lips. Fortunately, she managed to open her mouth. She began gulping down the refreshing water. As Goku pulled the jar away from her lips, they all saw her eyes slightly open. Goku saw just a little of her dark orbs. He felt his heart skip a beat. Never did he ever feel that way for a girl before. Her eyes were…beautiful to him. Gogeta looked at Goku staring at the girl. Gogeta looked at him with an annoyed look. Sheesh was he the only one that wasn't getting feelings for girls? I mean yeah some of them are pretty but really?
" Goku does she have something on her face? You've been staring at her for a while now."
Goku shook his head as he scratched his head. " No I was just…"
Before he could finish, Chichi fully opened her eyes and saw Kakarot in front of her. But he had a look of wonder in his eyes. She quickly noticed a pair of hands holding her. She looked up and saw Gogeta with his head tilted to one side. Immediately, she screamed and scrambled up to her feet. She backed away from both men and was about to ask them a question when she saw Bulma running over to them.
" What happen to you guys?" Bulma asked as Chichi ran over to the blue haired girl. " Chichi why did you just scream? Did these guys do something to you?"
Chichi huffed and gave Bulma a look. " Why did you leave me here alone with these three? I wasn't awake and don't know what they were doing! I mean I was in his arms, that one was staring at me and the other was just standing there watching!"
Gogeta and Goku scratched their heads as Turles shook his.
Before Bulma responded, she noticed that Kakarot was looking different. He must have changed out of his mean side! Boy was she happy that he was back.
" Goku you're the one in there right?"
Goku smiled and nodded his head saying. " Yep, it's me."
Bulma clapped her hands and said " Great just the person we need! I hope you don't change quickly again."
'Goku? But isn't he Kakarot? Gosh these people don't make sense at all.' Chichi thought as she took a step back from Bulma.
She looked at the guy named Goku. He did look like the friendly guy she spoke to the other night. Their eyes met as she walks towards Goku. Chichi stopped keeping some distance from each other. She asked " Aren't you Kakarot?"
Goku sighed and then smiled. " I guess I should tell you already. Well I change personalities randomly. It has to do with my power. I sometimes am happy and sometimes not so happy. Kakarot is the mean one and I'm the nice one from what everybody says."
Chichi's eyes widened as she said " Well that explains a lot."
In a flash, an explosion occurred as Goku pushed Chichi down to the ground. Gogeta and Turles got in front of them, guarding them. Bulma got down on her knees beside Goku and Chichi. They all saw a sliver light coming towards them. Gogeta and Turles stance loosened as the light came closer. The form of the shape in the light looked familiar. It looked like Raditz's body shape.
" What is that?" Bulma asked as she stared at the figure. She put a hand on Chichi's shoulder, making sure she didn't start panicking. Surprisingly, Chichi looked fine as if she didn't see anything abnormal. Bulma saw that she looked serious.
" It appears to be Raditz." Turles answered as Goku stood up beside his brother.
" How could that be Raditz? I know he wouldn't do something like that. Much less have light surrounding him." Goku said as the others agreed.
" That's definitely not Raditz, I sense something strange." Chichi said as Bulma quickly chimed in " Then that must be one of the doppelgangers we've been searching for!"
Turles and Gogeta's eyes widened as they both looked at the figure set down onto the ground. The silver light that emitted from the figure slowly began vanishing. And in front of them, stood the copy of Raditz. He stared at the group with hatred in his eyes. One thing that definitely made them sure that wasn't him was the color of his eyes. They were the color mauve.
" It's about time we found the first one!"
Chichi glared back at Bulma and put a finger on her lips to hush. Bulma got the message as she kept quiet. She didn't want anybody to blame her for anything.
" Well well, I finally got to find you weaklings. Might I advise you that I'm here to chat. My owner wants me to destroy. So let's move on shall we?"
" That's fine with us! The quicker we get rid of you impostures, the better!"
" You stay with Bulma and Chichi. We'll take care of this fake." Turles said to his younger brother. Goku obeyed as he took each girl's hand in one of his. Even though both wanted to resist, Goku pulled them along with him. They ran off until they had a good distance away from the battle that was about to happen. In a matter of seconds, Goku heard the first attack. The fight had begun.
" I still don't understand why they don't let me fight. I do have the most power out of all of us. Doesn't make any sense." Goku said out loud, as he clenched his hand.
" Well remember that you need to reserve that power for the last battle. Then you will have to fight alongside everyone." Bulma said, as she focused her attention on Chichi. She looked like she wanted to say something to them, but was hesitating. Chichi then shook the feeling away.
" He's not going to be that much of a challenge for Turles and Gogeta. That copy isn't as strong as he portrayed a while ago. It was all just an act to bring fear to you guys."
Bulma and Goku looked at Chichi for a moment and then turned to look at the pair of fighters fighting against their foe.
" You won't have to step in any longer. I can finish this on my own." Gogeta said to Turles, getting back into his fighting stance. Turles narrowed his eyes at Gogeta. " And expect for me to allow you to take all the joy in destroying this thing? Heh get out of here."
Gogeta was about to protest back but then turned his head. He smirked and said to Turles " Fine, take him out on your own. Better for me, I'll have more energy to defeat the bigger ones later on."
Turles huffed and headed right for the fake. He slammed his fist right into the fake's face, knocking him out. Jumping back a few feet, he began forming a blue energy ball in his hand. Slowly it began getting bigger as he threw back his arm. Then he threw it right at the fake, as the light covered him whole. In seconds, the light slowly disappeared. Nothing but dirt was in front of him.
" Didn't take much of my energy for your information. It was actually more of a joke." Turles cleaned up his hands and walked towards the others. Gogeta rolls his eyes as he puts his arms behind his head.
" Now what's next?"
Everyone looked over at Bulma as she stared back. " Well we can continue on to the Getjo village. They have a big water fountain there. We could conserve some water in that jar you brought Goku for Chichi. Just in case she needs some later. Because from the looks of things, we might be encountering more impostures up ahead."
All nodded their heads as they moved along.
In about half an hour, they arrived at their destination. The very big village in Getjo. In the distance, Chichi saw a very huge water fountain that shot out water. Very refreshing and clear, it was an amazing sight to see. Bulma was amused at the look on Chichi's face. It was as if she hadn't seen water in forever. Even she didn't react that much when she first arrived. She was lacking on drinking water often back at home, before she came here. Ah the memories of her enormous home. Not to mention her huge room.
" Bulma let's get going."
She snapped out of her thoughts once she heard one of the guys talking to her. She looked at the group. They were all staring at her confused. Even Chichi was scratching her head. Bulma embarrassed out of her mind, pushed through them all as her cheeks turned red.
" Let's go then guys." Bulma said walking ahead of them all.
The blue haired stopped as she saw the crowed of people. She just remembered what this village was know for. Very good looking men.
'I have to keep cool here. I'm dating Vegeta now and Saiyans are known for their jealously. Must keep myself under control.' Bulma gulped as she saw the men before her.
Men of all heights and ages but all with masculinity. How they could manage to keep themselves like that, she did not know. 'Oh I wonder how Chichi is taking all this. Maybe she'll finally have a weird outburst or fall for all the guys here.' That to her would be hilarious to witness. Especially with the other guys watching. Grinning from ear to ear, Bulma looked back at Chichi. Her reaction quickly changed. Chichi had her eyes on the huge water fountain that was shooting water out. She even had her mouth opened just staring at the fountain. Bulma face palmed and shook her head. This girl was probably never going to have a boyfriend much less a husband.
" Hey Goku give Chichi the jar. I think she's really wanting to go over there and collect some water for herself." Goku nodded as he gave the jar to Chichi. Chichi got out of her trance as she started walking over to the water fountain. " Join her and then come find us. We're going to go talk to a few of the villagers of anything they have seen."
" Okay, shouldn't take very long." Goku said as he followed behind Chichi.
Chichi reached the fountain as she opened the jar. She slowly dipped it into the fountain and filled it up to the top. She carefully closed it, and set the jar aside. Looking into the water, she saw her reflection. Smiling at how much of a mess her hair was in, she then saw Goku's face in the water. He smiled at her as she looked back at him. Taking a few steps away she asked " Why did you follow me? Weren't you suppose to go along with the others?"
" I'm not suppose to leave you on your own. I must be at your side at all times. It's what I have to do. But if you ever want a few minutes on your own, then I'll try to convince the others to allow you to."
Chichi tilted her head aside as she smiled. This version of Kakarot was so kind and respectful. It really did sound like he was being sincere to her.
Goku looked down as he said quietly " Even if I have to give up my life to protect you. But I'm willing to do it. I feel that you are good-hearted even if I've only met you for a while."
Chichi's cheeks turned rosy from the words she was hearing. Never had she heard such words coming from a man. All they would tell her is vulgar things. Nothing in comparison to this young man's words. Just as they both looked at each other, Goku felt someone's hands on his shoulders. He turned his head back to see Gogeta slyly looking at him.
" What's going on here? You two have been away for longer than expected. Don't tell me you're…"
Before Gogeta could finish speaking, Goku punched him right in the face. Gogeta fell to the ground almost crying from the impact. "…I'll shut up."
Chichi had her mouth fully opened at what she just witnessed. Goku glared down at his partner. " Don't start with that. Remember what happen when you said the same to Bulma? You ended up down for two weeks. Want that again?"
" N-nope, understood." Gogeta weakly said as he passed out.
Goku grabbed a hold of his head as he winced. That was definitely not like him. He saw Chichi give him a look of concern. He gave her a reassuring smile and said " Don't worry, I might be changing back into Kakarot."
Chichi frowned as she helped him to the ground. She didn't want him to leave and for Kakarot to come back. Things were going so much more smoother with Goku. Why did he have to have this odd condition? It didn't make sense to her, forgetting the explanation he gave her earlier. Slowly, Goku's eyes began to close as his body grew heavily. Chichi set him down to the ground. Poor guy, the things he has to deal with just for having so much power. She sat there staring at both guys. The two protectors she was going to have from now on.
And that is it for this chapter! I hope you liked it and I'll try to bring out another chapter as soon as I can! Thanks again!
