Morning came, and when Vegeta woke up, he rolled over in bed to find only an empty, but still warm space where his wife had only recently woken from. He heard no water running in the area of their shower, so either she had taken an incredibly quick shower, or she had forgone it for the time being. Getting out of bed and slipping into a pair of loose cotton pants, he walked out into the hallway and down the stairs, only to find that both his wife and Kakkarot's were both hiding behind the passageway into the living room. Unsure of just why, Vegeta looked past the pair into the living room, seeing Kakkarot's grandson asleep on the couch, his human girlfriend on top of him, and a blanket draped over the both of them. Vegeta had been around both women long enough to know that the blanket had been their doing, but from the looks of things, the two on the couch had not planned on falling asleep together like that.
"So are we going to just stand around all morning or are we actually going to get some breakfast?" Vegeta asked, his voice quiet enough to not wake up Jonathan or Rebecca, but loud enough to startle his wife and Chi-Chi.
"Be quiet, Vegeta," his wife admonished him. "We'll eat when the two of them wake up."
"So we're just going to stand here and spy on them until they do?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"That doesn't even make any sense."
"What doesn't make any sense, Vegeta?" Goku asked, coming down the stairs in similar cotton pants. Both women turned to shush him.
"Goku, be quiet," Chi-Chi scolded him. "Jonathan and Rebecca are still sleeping."
"Well then let's wake them up so we can have some breakfast."
"No, Goku. We are not waking them up for breakfast. We are going to wait her patiently until they wake up before we eat."
It was at that moment that the short, fat, blue alien known as King Kai barged into the house, shouting, "Jonathan Goku, you show your face right now and face my wrath!" Jonathan was so startled that he flailed under both the blanket and Rebecca, falling off the couch onto the floor, but he was able to catch himself before he landed on top of Rebecca, who was also now waking up.
"Geez, King Kai, what's the big deal?" Jonathan asked, yawning and rubbing the back of his head.
"What's the big deal? What's the big deal?! The big deal is that you killed a man as a Super Saiyan, it was caught on camera, and now your president is making a public announcement regarding it!"
"Wait, what?!" Jonathan shot to his feet and grabbed hold of King Kai's shoulder, allowing the alien to transmit into his mind what he was seeing regarding the events on earth. He saw the president standing at a podium in front of the White House, addressing a group of people that had to have been reporters from across the country.
"My fellow Americans. Today, I am here in regards to the rumors of a video that depicts the Golden Warrior killing a United States citizen. Unfortunately, the rumors are true. The White House has obtained this footage, and has taken its contents into consideration. However, we also have taken into consideration the nature of what happened. The man who was killed is one Samuel Jackson, convicted felon, and rapist. There is no doubt that Mr. Jackson was a bad man, and there could very well have been extenuating circumstances surrounding what occurred at his residence.
"Also, we have taken into consideration the help which the Golden Warrior has brought to us in our own time of need. He defended our people against the villain Kronos, and I myself find it difficult to believe the events that have transpired in the wake of the Titan's defeat. Which is why I am issuing this request. Golden Warrior, wherever you are, I will be in my office all day today, and I would request that you meet me there so we can just talk about what occurred on the fifth of this month."
Jonathan removed his hand from King Kai's shoulder. "King Kai, give them the synopsis of what's happened so far and keep a feed on me. I've got to go." Jonathan lifted his fingers to his forehead and focused on the White House. He'd been there a couple of times before, so it didn't take much effort to appear there right behind the president. "I think I'll meet you here instead, Mr. President, where the eyes of the world can see what you say to me and what I say to you rather than anything you might fabricate in your office." Everyone was obviously shocked that he had appeared so suddenly behind the president, but also that he was so young to be the Golden Warrior.
Two Secret Servicemen moved to hold him, but the president waved them off. "Very well then, if that's what you wish," he said, inviting the young man to join him next to the podium where more than half a dozen microphones had been set up. "I'm sure you can understand the reactions of the people who saw the footage."
"Yes. I can. As you have explained, Mr. Jackson was a convicted rapist in the past, and there were extenuating circumstances regarding his demise. That night, I had just returned him his stepdaughter, and he was in a drunken state, ready to rape her. What happened next... is hard to explain. I entered into a state of righteous anger that heightened my power level, my senses, everything. But, unfortunately, I could not stop myself from destroying him like that."
"So, you admit to what happened?"
"Yes. There's no real reason in trying to deny it."
"Jonathan, you idiot!" he heard King Kai scream in his mind.
"You... you understand what should happen now."
"I understand what you think you should do, but let me ask you this: what prison do you have that can hold me? What technology do you have that can defend this world from people out there who still seek to destroy it, much less from the man who actually is capable of defeating them? And finally, is there any statute that allows you to try a man who technically doesn't exist?" At this, everyone in the audience was silent.
"You heard me right, I have no birth certificate, no social security number, only a fake identification that got me into the public school system. It was never designed to withstand the kind of scrutiny that a deep enough check would reveal, but enough to allow me to live. My name is Jonathan Goku, and I am a Saiyan, no, I am a Super Saiyan!" At this, Jonathan leapt into the air about a dozen feet above the heads of the reporters and powered up to his Super form. "I stand above this planet as its protector. I am the lone warrior who rises to defend you when nobody else can or will. I am the last member living of my race, and you have no law or right to try me. Did I kill a man? Yes, but I did it because I could not control my rage, the rage I felt because he was going to rape the young woman who is now my fiance." The crowd was still silent, but he could tell that they were very excited at this bit of news.
On King Kai's world, Rebecca and Goku were watching the events unfold through King Kai's eyes and relaying what they saw and heard to the others. "What is he doing?" King Kai wondered.
"It looks almost as if Jonathan has found a way to actually not get arrested at all," Goku mused. "Maybe even win over the sympathy of the crowd. If he can get the people of earth to sympathize with him like that, then the government will be hard pressed to create laws that will allow him to try them. Bringing in Rebecca, showing them who he is, that will make him more human in their eyes."
Jonathan powered down, but still floated above everyone as he continued. "Just last night, I became engaged to Samuel Jackson's stepdaughter, Rebecca Jackson. Will we be able to get married under your laws? Maybe not, but that doesn't change why I did what I did. I did it to protect the woman I love, and if I could change what happened, I would, but if there were no other option available to me, I would still kill him. Do what you will, but know that it will not be enough in the end."
Everyone was silent, civilians and politicians alike, until one reporter in the back piped up. "Have you and Miss Jackson set a date for your wedding?" With his question every reporter shot to their feet and started asking questions until the president managed to calm them down.
"Mr. Goku," he said into the microphones when they quieted down, "it is true that you cannot be tried since you do not exist. But this still does not answer the question of whether or not you are a threat. You have the power to destroy this world a dozen times over, and yet you are not affiliated with any government? What assurances do we have that you will not betray the American people?"
"Mr. President, I grew up in Oregon. I'm about as American as you're going to get. The simple fact is that you'll have to trust me." Jonathan didn't let anyone say anything more before he ITd out of thin air.
