Hi guys! Well here it finally is, the last chapter for this story! It's took quite some time but it's done now. The fighting scenes are short and this chapter might seem rushed. Sorry about that! Thanks for everyone that has read and supported this story. I'll be out with an epilogue later day to conclude this entire story. I'd like to give a special thanks to Laila'sdream. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy!

I don't own db/z or its characters, they belong to Akira Toriyama.

Peace once again

" You guys search over there. I'll take a look around here."

The search for the clone wasn't going as quick as they thought. Chichi, Goku and Turles had been now looking for almost half an hour. Chichi was beginning to think that her powers were not working. When they were up in the air, she could see a red flame below. She told the others as they lowered down. But now it seemed like the red flame instantly disappeared when they landed on the ground. Chichi scratched her head as she looked back at the others. They were searching carefully away from her. Chichi took this chance to get farther away. If they stayed too close, they would never find the clone in time.

'I'm sure nothing bad will happen.' Chichi thinks to herself as she begins to go deeper into the woods.

A flash of red light passes by as she halts and looks around her. Nothing insight.

As she looks back, she sees Goku in front of her smiling. She gasps at seeing him and hits him on the chest. " Why'd you sneak up on me like that? You could have given me a heart attack."

He continues to smile without answering back. Chichi sees him blink a few times and then places a hand on her shoulder. His hand felt very cold. She tries to smile and asked " H-hey are you okay?"

His dark eyes instantly change to violet as a massive grin appears on his face. Before Chichi could react, he grabs her by the neck. He begins to choke her and says laughing " You fell right into my act. What a naive girl you are."

Chichi tries to remove his hand from her neck but can't. She blacks out as her whole world changes to black. The clone throws her aside and runs his hand through his hair. Well that was easy. All he had to do now was suck in her power and take it back to…

" Hey! What have you done?!" The clone turns around and sees two men rushing over.

One was a mirror image of it and the other was very close.

Goku and Turles immediately see the clone kick Chichi's unconscious body more aside. The clone shakes its head and says " What a pity that you chose a girl like this. She isn't even that pretty to be so crazy about."

Goku's eyes narrow as he shouts out " Why did you kill her?! And who are you to be telling me that?! She's worth more than any other girl on this entire planet!"

The clone raises an eyebrow at the first thing its look-a-like said. The girl was still alive but maybe his emotions were blinding him at the moment. It smirks and thinks that he could use this to its advantage. It looks over at Turles that appeared like he was about to say something, but the clone shoots a blast right at him. The blast sends Turles flying back. Oh no, it wasn't going to take any chances. Goku looks back for a split second and then stares back at his clone. Oh this clone wasn't wasting anytime at all. Goku quickly charges at it as the clone effortlessly dodges his attacks. Once Goku leaves a chance, the clone punches him repeatedly on the chest. Goku is knocked out with one last kick to the head. The clone cracks his neck and slowly makes his way to Goku.

" Where is all that strength they said you have? You seem weak to me." The copy continues to kicks Goku multiple times, not letting him get up.

" What a joke you are and the rest were afraid to be against you." the clone is caught off guard by a blast from above.

It looks up and sees three people above flying towards it. One of them was carrying a blue haired woman as she jumps out of his arms and runs off. The tallest and the short one gives it enraged looks.

" So you managed to knock Kakarot and Turles out of the ring. Wow, this two are weak. I'll fight against you, I'm sure you'll have more of a battle against me the Prince." Vegeta powers up as the blue flame covers his entire body.

The clone rolls its eyes and signals Vegeta to come. Vegeta doesn't hesitate and throws a huge hit right in the face of the copy. The copy catches his fist and looks up at Vegeta. Vegeta stands in awe as the copy throws a punch with its free hand right in his abdomen. Vegeta is sent flying back. Raditz stares at the copy in shock. It literally knocked all of them out without making an effort at all. Bulma couldn't believe the power that clone had. It almost defeat all of them, only Raditz was left. She gulped, this didn't look good at all.

" I found you people again!" Bulma and Raditz hear someone shout from above.

It was Sarlyn who was carrying something in her hand. It looked like some kind of bottle. She quickly flies over to Goku out of all of them and starts running her hand through his hair.

" Oh no what happen to him? But don't worry, he'll be up and going again. I'll just give him some of this." Sarlyn takes the bottle lid off and pulls Goku up. She places the bottle up to his lips as he starts to drink.

Bulma and Raditz were a little confused as to why the clone wasn't attacking Sarlyn. It actually looked happy to see her for some reason. Both watch as Goku's eyes begin to open up. He looks up at Sarlyn confused and then sits up. He felt like brand new surprisingly. As if he didn't get attacked at all. He jumps up to his feet and touches himself. No scars, no bruises or broken bones.

" I'm all better now. Wow, what did you do Sarlyn?" Goku asks as he looks over at her.

She responds and says " Oh nothing, just helping the love of my life is all."

Goku frowns and tells her " Sorry Sarlyn but I can't be with you. I'm with Chichi now."

Sarlyn starts to laugh and says " I know that already. Who said I was talking about you? I'm actually talking about that handsome man over there."

She points to the clone as it bows at them. Goku looks at Sarlyn and asks " Then why did you help me get better?"

Sarlyn stands and makes her way to the clone. " Oh that's just part of the control potion I just gave you."

All of them stood in shock at what she just said. She now had control of Goku's body!

" No…why did you betray us? Why are you working for those evil clones?"

" You rejected me for that girl. So I headed back to my home. Along the way I met it. It told me everything and so I decide to be a part of the team. This all would have never happen if you would have stayed with me." Sarlyn makes a signal with her hand as Goku starts to walk towards Raditz. " How about I show you what I can do now."

" Attack him!"

Goku tries to pull back but can't and hits Raditz right in the face. Raditz takes a step back from the hit and looks up at his younger brother.

" I'm sorry Raditz, I can't control myself!" He then begins to send hit after hit at his brother. On the last one, Raditz is sent flying back.

Bulma stands in pure fear. Goku was the strongest one from the group. But now he isn't with them. He is against them.

" Power up to your highest!"

Goku's body obeyed the command as he starts to power up. In seconds, he had reached his last stage of power. A blue flame appeared around him similar to Vegeta's. Sarlyn raises her hand up and says " Now for the ultimate stage!"

Goku again got into position as he began yelling from the pain of electric shock that was going through his body. It was unbearable to him.

" NO STOP!" he yells out in pain as he lets out the loudest cry Bulma had ever heard.

Bulma felt like falling to the ground. She felt the immense pain he was going through by just hearing his cry. At this moment she felt so useless. She wish she could run over to her friend and help him. Her hands began to shake as she lowers her head.

" Ka…Karot." she hears Vegeta's voice faintly.

She turns and sees Vegeta somewhat sitting up. Same with Turles and Raditz. All of them stared at Goku as he fell down to his knees. As his knees touched the ground, a yellow flame appeared around him. His hair changed to blonde as his eyes changed to turquoise. His whole body shook in place as the others watched flabbergasted. Vegeta's eyes grew wide as he quietly says " The Legend of the Gold Saiyan…Kakarot has received its power."

The flame around Goku's body vanishes. As he looks himself over. He looked different now. His clothes were the color Gold and his skin was pale. His muscles were larger in size. He looked over at the others who were staring at him with their mouths wide open.

Sarlyn goes over to Goku and rests a hand on his shoulder. " Well done Goku, you have unleashed that power that was within you finally. So let's not waste anytime. Attack them all."

Goku glares back at Sarlyn that gives him a big smile as he stands on his feet. His body dashes towards the others at full speed as he begins to attack them.

" Guys you have to team up together because I can't control any of this!" Goku throws hit after hit at each of the other Saiyans.

Raditz and Turles look at each other and nod. Vegeta ignores the advice and attacks full on. Goku in three hits knocks Vegeta aside. Raditz and Turles try to throw their hits but Goku ends up catching each hit and blocking everything. He knocks both out in seconds. He then heads over to Bulma who was sitting on the ground.

" Run Bulma now!" Goku sees Bulma get up and tries to run but couldn't get away.

Goku hits her from the back and it makes Bulma fall forward as she gets knocked out cold. Goku sadly looks down at her. How he wished he could get control of his body for a few moments. He turns around and walks over to Sarlyn and his copy who were laughing at him. He looks away, not wanting to see the faces of victory they had plastered.

From a distance, the one person they forgot about, Chichi was slowly opening her eyes. She saw the copy, Sarlyn and Goku in a yellow form? Something major must have happened this entire time she was knocked out for. She decides to stay down with her eyes closed and listen to them talk.

" Ha, this has been such a joy. Finally I get to rub it in your face of how great I am Goku." Sarlyn laughs as Goku growls at her. " You are so much worse Sarlyn. Tricking me into drinking that stuff and controlling me. How much worse can you get."

Chichi couldn't believe what she was hearing. So that's why Goku was with them. It also explains why he was obeying her. That two-faced liar was terrible! Chichi had the urge to get up and help Goku, but something told her to stay. That voice she heard long ago began to speak to her in her mind.

'Charge up your power first. You will be able to give that young man the freedom to have control once more. All you will have to do is touch him and say the word Sa.'

Chichi does as the voice says as she quietly charges her power. She hopes that the others don't notice her change. As she does this, she reaches the limit and quickly gets up on her feet. The others stare at her as she dives in and touches Goku's back saying the phrase Sa. She falls to the ground as the clone and Sarlyn try to go around Goku to get her, but can't. Goku had a hold of both of their legs. The grip he had on them was almost enough to break their bone.

" How?! You can't do this! I haven't said anything to you!" Sarlyn tries her best to get out of the tight grip but can't. " This is impossible! You told me that he was going to be under your control!"

Goku throws them both down and lets go of their legs. Both try to back away from the Golden Saiyan. Goku instead of attacking them right at that moment, looks back at Chichi. Chichi looks up at him and is blown away from his appearance. The blonde hair, his figure and his mesmerizing eyes almost took her breath away. She never thought he could look anymore handsome than he was in his normal form. Boy was she wrong.

" You okay?" he asked as she slowly gets up on her own. " Y-yes I'm fine."

Goku's attention went back to the other two as he sees that they had both gotten up. He gets into position ready to attack either of them. Sarlyn and the clone get into stance as the first to attack is the clone. Goku easily could stop the clone's hit compared to last time. A smirk appears on his face as the clone growled.

" So, how does it feel to be the weak one? Not so great huh?" Goku give the clone a kick to the head.

The clone falls to the ground as Sarlyn throws a punch at Goku who blocks it. He looks directly at her and says " I'll give you one last chance to run off. I don't want to hurt you."

Sarlyn angrily looks at Goku and says loudly " You already have hurt me enough! I might as well try to erase all the memories I have of you!"

Chichi catches the clone getting up as she quickly runs behind Sarlyn. She swipes her leg at Sarlyn's and makes her fall over. Goku looks at her confused but then senses the clone about to attack him from behind. He stops the hit, as he grabs a hold of its shoulders and headbutts it. It falls from the hit and lays on the ground.

" You worry about the clone. I'll handle Sarlyn." Chichi says as Goku asks " You think you can handle her?"

" Yeah, you were the one that trained me after all." Chichi says as both turn to each others opponents.

After many hits, both Sarlyn and the clone were knocked down. Goku tells Chichi to run off as he lets a huge blast go towards the clone. It covered it up completely. Once the light dimmed, only ashes were left. Finally, all of the clones were destroyed. He looks over at Sarlyn. Her motionless body laid on the ground. He didn't want to blow up his friend from years ago. As he stood debating in his head if he should destroy her, he hears a voice behind him say " Do it already!"

He looks back over his shoulder and sees that it's Vegeta. He shakes his head not surprised. Of course he would be the only one telling him to do it.

" You don't have mercy for anyone do you?"

Vegeta gets up the best he can and yells out " Step aside you fool!"

Goku moves as Vegeta sends a blast right at Sarlyn. The blast consumes her up. Goku looks down and nothing but bits and pieces were left. As the others begin to get up on their feet, Goku begins to feel something strange running through his body. His head starts to ache as well as the rest of his body. Chichi takes a few steps towards him but is pushed away. She falls to the ground as she sees Goku grabbing his head.

" Goku what's the matter?" Chichi asks as he falls down, still grabbing his head.

" I-I don't know…I feel a rush of power…but it's way stronger!" He says through clenched teeth as he starts to shake his head.

" Kakarot calm the power down!" Vegeta shouts as he and the two others run over to him.

" Easy…for you to…say!" Goku then in seconds lets out a enormous power.

The gold flame around his body reached up to the skies as the wind coming from it pushed the others back. Raditz tries to run over to help but as he touched the gold flame, it burns the skin on his hand up. He steps back quickly and gasped at his burnt skin. The others could tell that they couldn't touch the flame. They stand back but are each hit by a gold colored blast. It knocks them all out except for Chichi. Chichi had the lime green flame around herself.

" Goku you have to try to calm down! Your power is getting out of control hitting everybody!"

Goku looks back at her and says " I don't want you to get hurt! I might as well do what Gogeta did!"

Chichi gasped as she quickly shouts " NO!"

She sees him give her one last smile and mouths out to her 'I love you'.

Slowly she isn't able to see his figure anymore. The light was too bright for her to watch as she closes her eyes. In seconds, she could hear the sound of an explosion. A gust of wind blows right at her as she feels it slowly disappear. She opens her eyes as she sees a figure slowly fall. It was Goku who wasn't moving at all.

" No…GOKU!" she rushes over to his side.

She tries to listen for a heart beat, but it was very faint. She checks his pulse but it was also faint. At this rate if they couldn't do something now, he was going to be a goner.

" Oh Goku…" she cries out as she sobs over his chest.

She felt like she wasn't going to be able to say goodbye to him or thank him for everything. Between her sobs, she hears the voice again say 'You have a chance to save him. But it will cost you your power. You will no longer be able to use it. Will you take this offer?'

Chichi wipes her eyes with her arm as she says " Yes, I'll give it up if it will save him."

'Since you have a love for him, give him one kiss and he will be better.'

Chichi does as she is told and leans over and kisses him on the forehead. His eyes begin to slowly open as his golden form changed to his normal form. He was back to his dark hair and eyes. Chichi happily smiles as she sees him looking up at her.

" You saved me." He says as she laughs. " You're okay again!"

As he sits up, Chichi wraps her arms around his body. He does the same as they both remain in the same position, even with hearing the others calling out for them.

Finally, they were at peace again.

And that's it you guys! I'll be out with the epilogue later today to finish this entire story. Thanks again for the support and see you in the epilogue!
