Pan sat down in a chair in disbelief. She was breathing heavily. "I-I don't
understand..."
They all looked at her with despair.
"I know it's hard to understand, Pan" King Yemma said. "When I recreated you, I couldn't bring back your Saiyan blood."
"How could've this happened to me?"
"Seeing you were only a quarter Saiyan," King Yemma continued. "King Vegeta took advantage of that and eliminated you first. He felt you were a weakling. After your disposal, he gave all your saiyan blood to your shadow. That's why you weren't able to defeat her-erm...yourself."
Suddenly, an employer of King Yemma's came running in "SIR!" he said,
panting. "Fortuneteller Baba requests you immediately! You're going to want to see this!"
They all ran to Fortuneteller Baba. They found her in the control room, with dead bodies on the ground. There was pool of blood everywhere. The body count was four.
"Who...could've done this?"
They looked outside to see that a hatch was opened on the stage.
"No..." they all said.
Fortuneteller Baba set her crystal ball down and they all watched as the horror take place.
"Father..." Pan put her hands over her mouth. Tears were coming down her cheek. She was watching him kill innocent people. King Yemma excused himself. He needed to go back to his palace and sign them in. Fortuneteller Baba told him to tune in as he signs the souls. He left, leaving the rest to watch in horror.

On Earth, Goku and his family were watching in horror as well. In came
Piccolo.
"Are you believing this?" he asked them, loudly.
"He wouldn't go that far..." Videl vouched for him.
Goku got up from the couch. His forehead was bandages up, and so was his right hand and arm. His his left ankle too was in bad shape. He slid his hand down his face in stress. He took a crutch and walked outside to calmly think about things. Piccolo followed.
"Goku..." he said. "I know what you're thinking."
"When he attacked you," Goku started. "We all noticed he wasn't himself. That night, when it happened, I did the same. I released my inner Saiyan. I saw
something I have never witnessed before."
"Which is...?" Piccolo was confused.
"My true Saiyan self; a former life, a shadow."
Piccolo raised an eye brow. He was lost at what he was saying. Goku went in deeper.

Two days ago, on the night of Goten's seventeenth birthday. Goku unleashed his inner self. He saw him fly off, but Goku soon went after him. His shadow was fast. Goku was almost out of breath. He finally caught up to him in the bright night sky. Just three feet away from where Goku was, was hovering his shadow. They stared at each other intensely. They both lowered their eyes. Goku struck first. He flew at him, throwing a punch right at him. He punched the Shadow
below his chin, sending it a few inches back. A disturbing sight to Goku, his shadow was surprisingly flexible. Its head was looking back for a few seconds, then it straightened its head again. Goku was disturbed to see his shadow had no
muscles, yet it was powerful.
"How can this be?" Goku's eye twitched in astonishment.
The Shadow stretched itself out. It made no cracking noise. He gave off a creepy smile. Its teeth was a disgusting sight to see. It looked old. He could see broken teeth in there. It was dirty as well. Goku smirked at the sight of his broken teeth. Then, it did the unthinkable. Goku's Shadow closed it's mouth then to move his mouth around. He was regenerating his mouth. The shadow flew straight to Goku. He head-butted him in the stomach and Goku grunted in pain. Once Goku healed, he took his Shadow's left hand and twisted it so it would face upwards. He then took its shoulder and twisted that too. He twisted everything his shadow had turned him into a ball form. He slammed the shadows down into the lake below. Below them, ChiChi and his son, Goten, Videl, Mr. Satan, and Buu were
watching the whole thing. They cheered at Goku's Victory. As Goku turned around in the air, the Shadow emerged from the water straight up to Goku.
"GOKU!" Mr. Satan shouted. "LOOK OUT!"
"Huh?!" he saw his shadow flying towards him fast.

Goku put his wrists together.
"Kame-" he started. "Hame-HAAAAAA!"
A beam of light headed towards him. No matter what, the Shadow didn't avoid it. He went directly at it. He turned it into a dark for and redirected it to Goku.
"Dammit!" he cried out. He avoided the redirected Kamehameha wave. His shadow then appeared right in front of him. It took Goku's right fist and did the same thing Goku did earlier. He screamed in pain. His eyes were watery. He continued to twist his wrist until it was broken. He did the same to Goku's right
shoulder. He threw Goku up in the air.
"I have to help him!" Goten cried out.
He tried to fly up to him, but Buu pulled him back down. "Hey! Let me go, Buu!"
"NO!" Buu screeched at him. "Buu says to stay here. There's nothing for you to aid him."
"He's going to die!"
"Buu doesn't think Shadow will kill Goku." he told Goten. "Buu believes Goku will only be injured."
"Then," Goten argued back. "He can't fight for a while. The Earth needs him."
"Earth has other heroes." Buu landed Goten safely. "Buu believes in others."
Goten sighed. He stared at Buu for a few seconds. He turned back to watch the fight in the air. Goku was losing bad. His shadow appeared right behind him as he was still flying in the air after being thrown. His shadow flipped Goku around, twisted his left ankle, and punch him in the gut. Goku cried out in agony. He closed his eyes as he felt the air against his face as he plunged down to the ocean. His shadow smiled and flew off. Goku was done. He couldn't fight anymore. He made a big splash as he landed in the water below.
"GOKU-!" ChiChi cried out. She dove into the water after him, followed by Videl. They held their breaths as they dove under water to rescue him. They found an unconscious, injured Goku slowly drifting down. ChiChi quickly swam to him. She grabbed Goku before he touched the lake floor. Videl helped him. They both lifted him out of the water. Videl flew back to ground, carrying Goku's body and laying him down. Goten went to go help his mother. He brought her back to shore; both soaking wet.
"ChiChi," Goku groaned. "...ChiChi..."
"I'm here, Goku." she got down to his level.
"Gohan..." he said weakly. "He...he's in...trouble."
She looked up at Mr. Satan and Buu, water forming her her eyes. "Please!" she begged them. "He needs to go to a hospital!"

Mr. Satan and Videl took him into their van, and drove off with Buu flying
behind them. They were soon followed by Goten and ChiChi. They took him to West City Medical where they put Goku in the ER. His heart was beating
normally, but he was badly beaten up. The doctor confirmed that his right hand and arm is broken. His left rib and ankle were damaged badly as well. They
bandaged him up, and just two days later, her was released. He was informed by the doctors that he was not to do anything, but to relax, for the next few weeks. ChiChi told the doctor that she will make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid.

"So," Piccolo crossed his arms. "That's what happened to you."
"I hate to say it Piccolo," he told him. "but, if I ignore ChiChi and fight, who knows what she'll do to me."
"I'd kick your butt, of course!" she answered coming out. They both turned around and saw he walking their way. "What are you doing out here anyway?!"
"ChiChi!" he stuttered. "I was...uh..."
"Don't tell me you were thinking about confronting Gohan while you're still
injured!"
"But, ChiChi!" he whined.
"Absolutely not!" she stood firm. "You heard the doctor!"
"There's a city out there that needs me!"
"So?" she argued back. "You get inside right now or I'll hurt you even more!"
"Yes, ma'am..." he lowered his head and headed back inside.
"Don't worry, Goku." Piccolo promised him. "I'll make sure Gohan sees some sense."

With that said, he flew off to confront Gohan. Gohan was the one who changed Piccolo. He taught Piccolo the meaning of friendship. He flew through the air, thinking of the times he had with Gohan.
