Kakarot panicked as he looked at his house. He could tell from the outside that it had been broken into. He growled, flying in through a broken window.
As he stared around the house, he couldn't help but snarl. Most of their things were broken, but he did smirk at two corpses, just outside of the kitchen. Chichi had to have taken them out. His mate wasn't a pushover.
He walked into the kitchen and his heart sunk. There was blood pooling on the floor, but no sign of his mate and child. He began to panic as he moved around the room, only to come across Coco lying on the floor.
He waited for the bird to move, only to feel a sense of panic as he made to pet the bird. It didn't move, not even a twitch. Kakarot began to shake, as he picked up the bird's head, it was completely limp. He began to pet the bird, hoping that it would do something, but it didn't do anything. It was completely still.
His face felt wet, as it hit him. Coco was dead. He didn't want to believe it, but the evidence was right there in front of him. Whatever killed his pet, had taken Chichi and Gohan.
Kakarot turned to find the monster that had done it, only to hear crying from inside of the cabinet. The saiyan moved over quickly as a sense of relief came over him.
The captain picked up their beloved pet, moving the animal in a way that kept its dignity intact.
Once Coco was moved, Kakarot opened the cabinet, finding Gohan crying against the back of the cabinet. Kakarot reached in, cuddling his son against him. "Shh…It's okay." Gohan stared up at him with tears in his eyes. "Daddy's here."
"Coco," the boy cried, and Kakarot removed the bird from his son's vision.
"Everything's going to be okay." He said, trying to get his son to calm down, but Gohan wasn't budging.
"Mama," Gohan cried. Kakarot hugged the boy closer as he moved out of the room. He needed to get his son out of here. He knew where he had to go. His mother was still safe with Turles.
The captain moved outside of the house, the fighting was still going on around them, but he moved quickly, making it inside of his parent's house. His mother looked ready to defend herself when she saw him, but he didn't say anything, he only placed Gohan into her hands. "Where is Chichi?" Gine asked.
Kakarot growled, turning his back to his mother. "Look after Gohan." He walked forward, letting his rage take hold of him. They made his son cry. They killed his bird. They took his mate. They would pay. They would all pay.
Electricity sparked around him as he powered up into a super saiyan. He heard his mother move out of the room with Gohan. Turles was crying in another room. But he could sense her fear. Not that she didn't have reason to be. The power that was flowing through him was growing. He took a step forward, flying up and staring around him.
The electricity began to snap and crackly around him. It felt like he was going blind with rage as each second dragged on. He began to smirk darkly as the power coursing through his veins began to overpower his thoughts. Everyone deserved to die.
Kakarot flew forward, cutting down all that got in his way. He could sense his mate off in the distance along with a familiar Ki. Frieza. That bastard dared to take his mate. His Chichi. Kakarot snarled, making the electricity crackle around him. He sped forward, going towards his target. The Frostian would pay for his crimes.
The saiyan wasn't paying attention as he was lured out of the city, towards the forest. He hadn't been out here since their days in the bunker. He growled as he felt his mate's Ki, it was weak, but he couldn't tell if it was because she was knocked out or Frieza was torturing her. Either way it didn't matter to Kakarot. Frieza had harmed his Chichi. There would be no forgiveness.
He stopped in place, not noticing that he was covered in blood. He could sense his mate under him. Kakarot looked down at the ground, finding her heaped on the ground. He slid out of his super saiyan form as he flew down to her.
Kakarot landed next to her quickly, noting that she was still knocked out. He lifted her face, watching as her eyes opened. His rage was growing again as he saw the pain in her eyes. "Goku?" She voice was strained.
He moved his tail, so that he touched her face. "I'm here."
She coughed and Kakarot watched as blood came from her lips. "Go-Gohan?"
He gave her a sad smile. "He's safe." He purred against her, trying to soothe her. "You're safe now." His voice wavered as she passed out.
"I don't know about that." Kakarot's hair stood up on the back of his neck as he turned to glare at Frieza. "You still have to deal with me, Kakarot."
The saiyan snarled loudly. His rage was growing once more as he glared at the monster that dared to touch his beloved mate. Kakarot snapped his teeth at the Frostian lord.
"So I see I got your attention," Frieza chuckled to himself. He didn't know why the commissioner wanted to see this man in pain, but he was certainly enjoying it. He might as well have some fun. Frieza transformed into his fourth form. "This is my strongest form. Let's see what you got."
Kakarot stood still, while he was growling at Frieza, he noticed something odd. There was blood on him. It was at that moment, that he didn't remember anything since he walked into his house. Fear consumed him. What had happened to Gohan? Did he hurt his son? He told Chichi that Gohan was safe, but now he wasn't sure about that. His anger and rage had over ridden everything else. His mind was starting to panic. That monster had to come out of him. He fell to his knees. Did he hurt his son?
Kakarot's let out a howl as an elbow went straight into his back. He fell into the rock in front of him. He only had a couple of seconds to move out of the way as Frieza made to punch him in the back again.
The saiyan rolled over and jumped to his feet. Looking around himself as the Frostian came towards him. "Now, now, this is no fun. Why don't you fight back?"
Kakarot panted, he could go super saiyan, but if he changed now, he risked becoming that monster again. He eyes went to his mate. He could kill her if he wasn't careful.
Frieza moved forward, punching Kakarot in the gut, forcing blood to come out of the saiyan's mouth. The frostian then landed a knee into his stomach before driving his elbow into the saiyan's lower back.
The saiyan fell to the ground in pain, but didn't move. He knew that he needed to get up and fight, but he was terrified. With Chichi on the battlefield, he didn't dare to change into the other form. At the same time, there was the question of where Gohan was.
Frieza looked down at the saiyan. "You really are pathetic. I thought you would put up a fight, but this is just laughable," The Frostian laughed.
Kakarot pulled himself up on his elbows, only to look up at Frieza. The lord grinned down at him as the saiyan growled.
"Oh, you're so scary," The frostian sniggered. "What a useless ape you are."
Frieza walked away from him, going over towards Chichi. Kakarot watched as the frostian started to form a ball of energy, sticking his hand towards Chichi.
The saiyan's eyes went wide. His anger grew as he started shaking. Frieza wouldn't dare.
The blast left the frostian's hand and Kakarot only had a couple of seconds to speed himself in front of his mate. The blast hit him in the arm, making it go numb. His arm laid limp on the side as blood dripped down his forehead. Kakarot's teeth were bared as he growled. "So you can fight, too bad that it's too late." Frieza began to collect energy again in his hand.
"Goku," Chichi said weakly. The saiyan's eyes went back to his mate. "Fight," She whispered.
"But I'll lose control," Kakarot answered. "I'll hurt you."
She gave him a weak smile. "You won't do that."
"How do you know?" He said with worry.
"Because you love me," Chichi said, her eyes were closing again. "I… I trust you." She passed out from the pain once more and Kakarot looked back at Frieza. His mate's words were going through his head. She was going to trust him. It was time he trusted himself.
The saiyan powered up to his super saiyan form, making the frostian's eyebrow raise. "What is this?" Frieza inquired.
Kakarot moved quickly, punching the frostian in the gut, sending Frieza flying into a nearby mountain. The saiyan snarled as his rage began to go higher. Electricity began to come off of his body once more as he focused on the monster in front of him. There was a golden aura coming off of him as he walked forward, stalking towards the frostian.
Frieza pulled himself up, wiping blood off of his face. "So you do have some bite after all." The frostian glared at the saiyan. "Too bad it won't be enough."
Kakarot smirked as the frostian made to attack him, stopping Frieza's punch with his uninjured arm. The saiyan squeezed the frostian's hand, listening with pleasure as he heard the bones snapping. Frieza let out a scream of agony. Kakarot moved the frostian down, driving his foot into Frieza's gut, then twisted the frostian's arm, taking satisfaction in the sounds of misery coming from Frieza's lips as he ripped the arm off of the frostian, twisting the skin and muscle off of the bone. Blood oozed out of the wound, spraying along the ground.
The saiyan cackled. Watching his prey squirm was driving him crazy. He wanted to see more. He wanted this monster to feel the torment he felt. Kakarot moved his foot down, smashing it in Frieza's face, laughing as blood came up and splattered on his armor. "You think that it was funny? You don't know what funny is!"
The frostian grabbed his leg, holding it with one arm and pulling it up, making the saiyan lose his footing. It gave Frieza the time to get to his feet. The frostian made a small energy blast, but only put it on his arm, cauterizing the wound. Frieza moved forward intending to blast the saiyan, only to have the monster come up behind him. Frieza moved quickly, wrapping his tail around his assailant's neck. If he couldn't blast him, he would choke the saiyan to death.
But as Kakarot felt himself cut off from air, he didn't fret. He only stared down at the tail around his neck, before moving his fangs forward, biting into the tail, and making the frostian scream out in anguish. Kakarot bit out a chunk, spiting it out onto the ground before biting down again, this time cutting through the tail completely.
Frieza grabbed his tail and looked up at the saiyan in horror from the ground. The frostian made to send an energy blast up at the saiyan, only for Kakarot to grab his head. The saiyan chuckled darkly, as energy piled in his hand, burning the frostian lord's face. All Frieza could do was scream in complete agony as the saiyan roasted his face from the outside in.
Kakarot watched, feeding the animal inside of him. He needed more blood. He wanted more blood. His foot moved forward, kicking Frieza in the stomach, making blood drip onto the ground. He was loving every second of it.
But just as the fun started, it ended. The frostian stopped screaming and fell limp against him, making Kakarot frown. He was far from done. He dropped Frieza's head and looked around. His blood lust was far from quenched.
Across the field, he could see someone standing up. He chuckled darkly as the person tried to stand. They were already weak, so he could have some fun. He moved closer, not even seeing a face. He prepared himself for the kill.
"You killed him?" He stopped in place. He knew that voice, but where had he heard it before? He moved closer, it had to mean nothing. "I knew you could do it." He stopped again. The voice was female, but that wasn't the only thing about it. It trusted him from the sound of it. "We need to find Gohan. The others are probably wondering where we went." She said as he made to stalk forward again. "Are you okay?" She asked. Her voice was still calm. His vision was starting to go in and out as he took in a familiar smell, but his mind was still intent on blood lust. "Goku?" He stopped in place. Only three people had ever used that name for him. One was dead, another an old man, the third…
Kakarot blinked a couple of times, finding himself next to his mate. She smiled at him as he began to shake. He could have just killed her, but somehow, someway, he came out of it before he even got close.
Chichi leaned up, giving him a kiss. "My hero."
Kakarot made to shake his head. "No, I…" He didn't want to admit it.
"But you didn't," Chichi said. "And that makes all of the difference."
"If you didn't speak," Kakarot made to argue.
She grabbed his face. "Goku…" She was still very weak. "Stop doubting yourself." She fell against him. "I still trust you."
Kakarot tried to breath, but he was still scared of himself. "But I have no idea about Gohan. I could have…"
"No, you didn't. You told me he was safe," Chichi said, looking up at him.
Kakarot tried to think back, when had he told his mate that information? If that was the case, then the blood on him back then wasn't Gohan's. But who did it belong to? The sniffed himself, getting the aroma of Frieza, along with plenty of strange alien races. His eyes went wide. "I…I didn't hurt anyone."
Chichi smiled up at him. "See, what did I tell you?" She giggled, going weak in the knees. He had to catch her with his good arm. "You are a protector, Goku. You always will be." She sighed. "That is one strange hair cut though."
Kakarot moved to look at himself, the lightening was still going around him, as well as the yellow aura. He gave her a smile. "Well, this is super saiyan 2."
"I think I prefer the original you," she said weakly.
Kakarot changed back to his base form and turned around. "Wrap your arms around my neck. I'll fly us back to the city."
Chichi then giggled. "Did you forget how to use instant transmission?"
The saiyan's eyes went wide before he cursed. He touched his forehead, landing them in the palace. Bulma and the others ran over looking over both of their wounds.
Raditz moved to give his brother and Chichi a senzu bean. "So did you get rid of Frieza?"
Kakarot grinned. "He's dead." He took the senzu and began to move his injured arm around. "That bastard was a pain, but I took care of it."
Raditz nodded, watching as Chichi looked around. "Where is Gohan?" She asked.
Kakarot looked around about to freak out when he suddenly remembered. "He's with mom and Turles." His eyes went wide as the memory came back to him. "I took him there after finding Coco."
Chichi sighed in relief for a second. "What happened to Coco?"
Kakarot leaned forward pulling his mate into a hug. "She's gone."
Chichi burst into tears. "She tried to protect me from Frieza."
"She was lying in front of the cabinet where I found Gohan. She had to have crawled in front of it before she died." Kakarot felt gratitude towards the bird. Chichi cried against him. "Trust me, that bastard paid for it."
Chichi gave him a sad smile. "So you did like Coco."
Kakarot sighed. "Yes. I'm going to miss that damn bird." He pulled away from her. "I need to return to the battlefield."
Chichi gave him a kiss and he moved to instant transmit out of the room. "Now don't lose yourself out there, Goku."
He smiled back at her. "As long as you're around to keep me from going over the edge, I think I'll be fine." He transmitted out of the room, leaving his wife in the safety of the palace.
"Chichi, what was Kakarot talking about?" Bulma asked.
Chichi giggled. "The second form can be controlled. Goku is close. I know it."
Raditz froze. His brother used that against Frieza and Chichi was still breathing. If that was true, he wondered what else Kakarot could do. They would have to wait and see.
Kakarot transmitted into his parent's house. There was one thing he needed to take care of.
His mother moved out of the room, seeing him cover in blood. She looked a little scared, but then he smiled at her. "I'm going to take you and the boys to the palace. You'll be out of harm's way there."
Gine relaxed. "You seem confident, Kakarot." She noticed that her son looked at ease now.
"I'm sorry, I killed you." He said, making her stare at him in confusion. "But I didn't know how to control it then." He explained.
"You can…?" She asked.
"It's not complete control." He started. "But it's a start." Kakarot looked down to find his son crawling towards him. The saiyan leaned down, picking up his son. "Why don't we go see Mama?"
Gohan's eyes brightened as Gine picked up Turles from the floor. He watched her come closer, putting her hand on him before they disappeared and reappeared in the palace.
"I thought you were going back to the fighting?" Chichi said, but was completely distracted by her son, taking the baby into her arms. She leaned up and kissed her husband again. "So I guess now you'll be going?"
"How did you know?" Kakarot said with a smirk.
Chichi rolled her eyes. "Just go have some fun." Kakarot disappeared and she looked down at her son. "Someday, you're going to be as strong as your father." Gohan only laughed as Gine looked on.
Gine gave Chichi a small smile as the woman cuddled into her son. It looked like her son was going to be okay, no he was going to be better than okay. Kakarot was clearly in love with his mate, which had to be what saved Chichi from that form, and Gine couldn't be happier.
