Truth

After meditating for a long while, Goku opened his eyes. He was able to achieve complete equanimity. This would help him bring his power back. At least some of it. He stood up and settled himself into a powering up stance. Let's go with the super saiyan one first, he thought. He started building his power and felt that long awaited saiyan blood rushed into his veins and into his muscles. With this feeling his trust of everyone around him was shattered immediately. Trying not to think about this home truth, he concentrated his mind on his body. A fraction of power, which was hiding in him somewhere, made its way towards the outside. He felt the anger needed to be able to achieve a super saiyan form, which he managed to control a long time ago. When his skin started to warm up, he released the flow of this power and felt as the golden aura enclosed it. He was finally able to beat his way through a created shell; his hearing was back together with his sight and smell. He took a deep breath and smelled a fresh air with many different pleasant scents which embodied an environment around him.

"So, this world is really a lie." He said to himself looking at his clenched fists. Someone really messed up his world and his family. He felt the pain of betrayal and treachery. Who could have done this he had no idea and was eager to find out. But he couldn't rush. The saiyan doubted it were the gods because he always got along with them. But you never know.

Goku tried gathering more power that was hiding within him but it was no good. That was all he could do at the moment. He didn't feel his ability to IT also, however, he was able to fly.

"I can't go to the afterlife world yet. I'm also too weak right now." He said again. And he guessed he was running out of time. He thought of going back to the room where Chichi was waiting for him but before that he thought that checking her ki would be a good idea. He closed his eyes and understood that there was no need for such a concentration. He could sense her easily. As always with Chichi, her energy was a little stronger than that of an ordinary human being but at the same time it was a little out of usual. His wife's energy had an unfamiliar tincture to it: not as pure and not as kind as it used to be. He wondered if it was a result of her recreated personality and memories. Memories were what made people themselves. Without his memory and experience a person could be changed into anything. Evil to good and good to evil. That much he knew now. However, the change of the woman's ki was concerning to him. He had to make sure that it was only the result of changing memories.

"I have to check others' kis." He said and tried to sense out everyone's ki that he knew. He could reach none of them. They were too faint. "So, they hid your powers too." He went back to his normal saiyan form and flew up into the sky.

"It was around 3 hours of flight by plane to this island. I should be able to reach that city in half an hour." Goku hoped that he will make it until somebody who was watching will do so again and rushed with his full speed towards the city.

In this scenario that he was now, Goku had no idea who he should be able to trust and who would be able to help him. Gohan was too weak, that was a fact. He could not see Piccolo around anywhere. Some weird guy was acting as Piccolo, he remembered. There was his best buddy Vegeta of course!

But wait. Why was he the only one who knew what happened? Maybe Vegeta knows too! Goku was a saiyan, Vegeta was also a saiyan. Maybe that weird changing of memories couldn't affect saiyans! He sure hoped so and rushed even more looking for Vegeta's energy.

As he was approaching the city he managed to lock onto Vegeta's energy, though it was faint. Goku analysed his energy very carefully. It was the same as always: a little dark but overall quite normal, only his ki was decreased to the minimum, as if he was a human being.

That is weird, he thought, Chichi's ki is not as it used to be. He stopped in a mid-air and tried to lock on to his friends' kis: Goten, Krillin and even Android 18 had the same kis only decreased in power. Bulma had completely the same ki as she always used to. His wife's ki was really starting to concern Goku.

He had to hurry and in a second was atop of Vegeta's energy. It was a night time here, though not as late as it was in that island. He hoped that Vegeta would still not sleep. Still being in the mid-air Goku started to rise his power, in case Vegeta has already figured these lies too and could sense power levels. This should invite him.

Nothing. Vegeta did not appear. He waited another two-three minutes raising his power a little more but there were still no sign of him reacting. Goku sensed out if Bulma was near Vegeta somewhere but he was happy to find that she was somewhere in the first floor while Vegeta was in the second. Goku instantly landed into the balcony to find Vegeta sleeping on the other side of the window.

Goku thought it was a good time to try using his IT abilities. He put two fingers to his forehead and tried locking onto Vegeta's energy. Trying to cross the wall with IT abilities was really not an easy part. But he with a little sweat on his forehead he succeeded! A smile crossed his face but there was no time to celebrate this.

"Vegeta." Goku said not too loud but the sleeping man didn't even move. "Vegeta." Goku tried a little louder touching his shoulder and Vegeta moved his heavy eyelids focusing on Goku. He jumped when he saw an intruder in his house running into a wall, hitting it with his back.

"Who are you? What do you want?!" He yelled a little too loud. Goku pressed his index finger to his lips showing Vegeta to quiet down.

"It's me, Goku. Be quiet." Vegeta heard the intruder saying it. He gradually found his consciousness.

"What the fuck are you doing in my house, Kakarrot? How did you get here?" Vegeta was full of questions still not trusting the intruder.

"Are you still sleeping or do you not remember?" Goku got serious.

"Remember what?"

"The real life?"

"What are you blabbering about?" Vegeta asked. He was really getting nervous. How did this man get into his house in the middle of the night? He saw Kakarrot walking to the door, which led to the balcony, and opening it.

"We need to talk." He stated and went outside. Vegeta hesitated for a moment. But he needed to know what the fuck was going on. He mumbled something angrily under his breath and followed him.

"That's what I'm trying to explain." Goku answered to Vegeta's mumble. The shorter man thought he said it quite mutely. That startled him but he maintained the straight face and composure to look unaffected.

"Explain yourself. Now." Vegeta ordered.

Goku thought for a moment. As he noticed by now, Vegeta had no control over his ki, meaning he really lost his memory. He felt fear spreading from him. Vegeta would never show fear, not even in his ki. Somehow Goku was the only one having real memories. But he will try to make Vegeta remember. What should he do though…

"You hate me, don't you? Goku asked straight away.

"What the fuck do you want from me?" Vegeta was getting angry.

"Just tell me."

"You are in my house in the middle of the night in my fucking bedroom and you dare to ask me if I hate you?" Vegeta riled clenching his fists. "I fucking despise you!"

"Oh, really?" Goku smiled showing his teeth which made Vegeta's blood boil. As if it was not enough, Goku decided to provoke him:

"Then hit me." He simply said.

Vegeta couldn't believe what the weird man just said. That comma really did mess his head up. However, he somehow managed to invade into his house…

"What the hell is wrong with you, Kakarrot? How did you get in my house?! I won't wait any longer. Answer! Now!" Vegeta yelled.

"I ITed."

"You what?" He went insane, Vegeta thought.

"I used instant transmission. So, are you gonna hit me or not?" Goku said, getting ready for his punch.

Vegeta was furious. That moron dares to mock him.

"I'm calling the police." Vegeta said trying to calm himself down.

"Since when do you call the police? Don't you want to deal with it like a man to man." Goku emphasised his last words provoking Vegeta.

Vegeta was boiling up. He was trying to be quite good to him by just calling the police, he didn't want to hurt a man who just got up from comma. But if he insisted…

"You asked yourself." Vegeta said before turning to Goku and then ran into the man holding his fist up and striking into Goku's head with his might. However, Goku didn't even stir. He simply caught Vegeta's fist without any effort. Vegeta saw him smiling.

"Is that all you've got?" Goku provoked him.

Vegeta got the wind up but still tried to punch him again. This time Goku didn't even move his hand. He took the punch straight to his face. It didn't knock him out nor he felt any pain which scared the shit out of Vegeta. For a moment he thought that he was still dreaming.

"You got really weak, prince of all saiyans." He heard Kakarrot say under his fist. The name sounded as creepy as it seemed to be familiar.

"What the hell are you talking about. Spit it out!" Vegeta reeled back.

"Aren't you gonna punch me again?" Goku looked at Vegeta's confused face. "If not, I'm gonna do it."

Vegeta had no control of his power. And was not even aware of it. Goku had to act carefully, to see if his body is not as weak as human's. He decided to punch him not as hard as he would want to. He flew straight to him and Vegeta didn't even had the time to react to him. He just felt as his back hit the railing of the balcony too damn painfully. The debris of the cement railing landed around him. He felt a fierce pain in his spine.

An unpleasant sound of something hitting reached Bulma's ears, who has been watching a film in the living room. She immediately rushed upstairs to the bedroom.

"Don't tell me this weak punch hurt you." Goku said and heard Bulma's steps. That would be an opportunity.

She saw two men standing in the balcony.

"Vegeta!" She saw him beat up in the corner and rushed towards him.

"Goku?! What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked kneeling near her husband.

Goku didn't really want to involve Bulma in to this mess but maybe that would provoke Vegeta snapping out of this dream world.

The man took Vegeta's wife straight away in a speed that neither of the spouses could see or feel and he was already standing before Vegeta with a hand around Bulma's neck.

"Let her go immediately!" Vegeta yelled and used his all might to get up onto his feet. He has to defend his wife from this psycho.

"No."

"What the fuck has gotten into you, Kakarrot?" Vegeta tried to balance himself.

"Either you will finally get serious, or I will kill your wife." Goku carefully twisted Bulma's hand behind her back so it would make her cry out but it wouldn't break anything.

Hearing his wife cry out in pain, Vegeta really did snapp. He felt the irrepressible urge to protect her. This urge made him break through his shell and with a loud cry his power exploded as he flew into Goku at the same time becoming a super saiyan. Goku immediately let go of Bulma and pushed her so she wouldn't be in a way. She hit the ground not losing consciousness. However, she was shocked by what was happening here. Goku didn't make it in time to protect his face from the punch and so he took a full impact of Vegeta's hit which tossed him through the railing and into the ground creating a crater around him.

Vegeta didn't stop there, he flew into Goku once more but luckily Goku already took up the pace and became a super saiyan so he blocked Vegeta's punched with the crossed hands and pushed him away into the sky. Goku also made it up in the same level as was Vegeta.

"Finally! You are doing great, Vegeta!" Goku shouted but Vegeta's mind was clouded by malice and he didn't even notice the compliment. He shot himself once more towards Goku but he was able to dodge him.

"Vegeta, look at yourself!" He tried but it was no use. "Bulma is fine! I'm not your enemy!" Goku yelled as he was dodging all the hits that Vegeta was aiming to him. That's how he came to realise that he already went beyond the super saiyan one. His powers were slowly getting back. He grabbed both of Vegeta's wrists as they were meant to hit Goku's head.

"Listen to me. I provoked you on purpose. Look at yourself!" Goku shouted into Vegeta's face looking straight into his eyes which made Vegeta snap out of the rage. He blinked a few times and receded from Goku.

Vegeta then just noticed that he was in the mid-air, flying. A strange golden aura surrounded his whole body. He felt an overwhelming power surging through him. He almost wanted to faint from this much information he just took in.

"What the hell happened to me?!" Vegeta yelled at Goku.

"You still don't remember?"

"Remember what?"

"That you are a saiyan."

"The fuck is a saiyan?" Vegeta was completely lost.

"Shit." Was all Goku said. He was really in trouble. He managed to wake Vegeta's power up. But his mind was still sleeping in the fake memories. He had no idea what to do. He tried to talk straight.

"Listen, we don't have much time, Vegeta. What you know as the truth is actually a fake reality. Somebody messed up with our minds. As you saw already, the power that surged through you, that's a saiyan power. We come from another planet. We both were training in the gods' realm before this messed up thing happened. I don't remember the last year or so yet before somebody created this fake world. Somewhere in your mind there are real memories hiding. Your wife is a genius, I'm sure she will work something out to extract them from us, however, we are being followed so be careful with that. Stay quiet and try not to think about what happened between us. I have to go." Goku tried to explain everything really quick but it turned out very confusing.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Vegeta's eyes widened.

"Let's go to your wife. I'll try to explain everything in more detail. She has to hear it too." They both flew to the Bulma who was still in such a shock that she wasn't even be able to move.

After succeeding in Bulma's "revival" Goku tried to be clear about everything he just said before, however being in a hurry, he couldn't tell the whole story. The couple had to savour this much information. That should be enough for them today.

"Just call me on my phone, Bulma, after you think of something to extract the lost memories from our heads. But remember to be careful. We are being watched. I can't cope with this enemy before I regain my strength."

With that he flew as fast as his super saiyan 2 form could let him towards the island where his wife was waiting. He had to deal with this too somehow. For now, Chichi was the most suspicious.

Chichi watched as Beerus, Whis, old and current Supreme Kai, and those weird magicians were eating her prepared food.

"Mmmm… that is actually good!" Whis made a comment. "Goku really has a great housewife."

"Goku!" Supreme Kai said. He ran towards the sphere and it instantly showed Goku with the fake Chichi sitting on the side of the bed and talking something.

The real Chichi went towards the sphere. She was curious what was going on and, oh, how she missed her husband. It seemed that everything was alright: after talking to each other they started to prepare for sleep. This peeking on their life disgusted her.

"But why? Why did you choose such a plan?" Chichi asked.

"We were in a hurry. There were two options: either let him live, or kill him. We didn't want to take his life and his family from him." Supreme Kai answered looking at Chichi.

"But you did." She said. "You took both of the things you didn't want to." She stared at him heavily.

"I told you it was better to kill him. It would have been easily done by me." Beerus said stuffing his mouth with food.

"I do not thing it would have been that easy, Beerus." Whis remarked. "Goku was already snapping in and out of Ultra Instinct. He had no control over it."

"Whatever. The food was great! I want to calmly digest it somewhere. Don't get in my way." Beerus jumped from the table and went into the woods.

Chichi knew what they were talking about. She saw it with her own eyes. Goku constantly going beyond his limits. The Ultra Instinct made him see everyone around him as enemies. Whis and Beerus wanted to help him. They tried to train him but whenever his dark saiyan side would emerge, he would go insane. They could not control him anymore.

The woman decided to go and speak to Beerus. Maybe they could figure something out so Goku would get his life back.
She followed the God of Destruction.
