Chapter 24:

Unlike others of her race, Kefla did not always take kindly to the concept of sleep.

It wasn't like it ever offered anything good, especially in the case of dreams which in turn very much turned into things much more sinister.

Such was the case with this one.

It was very familiar sight, one Kefla had grown used to seeing time and time again.

There she was, back at the Tournament of Power. Right in the height of her battle with a certain someone...

Kefla felt her body act on its own and make her get right into a fighting stance.

Right across from her, Goku did the same.

Though his face was covered by that burning silver aura, Kefla could tell that his eyes were boring into hers.

Back then, when this was actually happening, Kefla would have done the same thing. At that time she had wanted nothing more than to take him down, to save her universe from the unfair punishment that awaited them if they were ever to lose.

However, because this was a dream everything was much more different.

Kefla felt herself rush at him, red KI energy forming around her hand.

He did not move an inch, he just let her come at him. Kefla knew what was coming, and though her mind desperately tried to regain control of her body it was a futile effort.

When they were mere inches from one another, Kefla felt the crushing grip of Goku's hand around her neck.

Stopped in her tracks, Kefla struggled greatly as she felt Goku's grip tighten around her neck to the point where she was gasping for air.

He cocked his head at her for a second before finally speaking, "you're a failure Kefla."

Kefla cried out in pain when she felt his fist right in her gut.

With quick movements, Goku had Kefla on the ground with him right on top of her.

Kefla panicked as she felt her vision starting to blur, without any air she was sure she was going to die. However, as much as she tried to punch and claw at him nothing worked.

In a show of mercy, Goku seemingly loosened his grip on her neck so that she could finally breath.

Taking in welcomed waves of air, Kefla tried to speak, "Goku..."

He interrupted her by raising a finger, and from that finger emerged a beam of energy that he shot down in arc that ran across Kefla's arm.

She screamed out in pain, "please stop!"

Though she had heard it plenty of times before, it was always shocking to hear him laugh. Not his genuine laugh, but one of pure malicious evil.

"You're counterparts where fools to think they could beat me, and even more so when they put you into existence!," Goku told her mockingly.

Kefla screamed in pain once more when he shot another beam of energy across her left leg this time.

Goku leaned in close, "and now your going to suffer. I wouldn't advise fighting what is about to happen because if you do, I'll make it even more worse."


Hearing Kefla's scream, Goku opened his eyes and bolted right out of his bed.

"Kefla!", she was shaking uncontrollably.

Rushing over to her, Goku tried to get her to wake up.

It took a lot of effort, especially when she tried swinging at him, but eventually he got her to wake up.

She bolted up right, making Goku have to back up.

"Give her some space," he told himself.

Goku waited until she had calmed down enough to the point where he tried speaking to her, "Kefla?"

She turned her head in his direction.

Goku did not know what to say, in fact he was actually afraid to say anything.

Kefla turned away, most likely having noticed this.

"Why?", Kefla muttered under her breath.

Confused, Goku asked "what?"

He did not expect her sudden explosion so when it happened he was shocked.

Kefla got out of bed. Not being able to control her anger she turned and punched a hole right into the wall.

Not satisfied, Kefla threw another punch and then another until she was repeatedly doing so in a frenzy.

While doing so, she kept shouting, "why. Why. WHY!"

Goku decided to step in and grabbed both of Kefla's wrist with his hands.

Kefla turned to face Goku once more, and was about to demand that he let her go.

However, the rage that she was feeling at this moment died completely when she got a good deep at his face and more specifically, his eyes.

Stopping her struggle, Kefla felt something inside her break and could no longer support herself, falling to her knees and the pain came running out of her.

"I'm sorry," Kefla cried through her sobs, "I didn't ask to be here, I didn't ask for life."

She felt Goku release her wrist and she brought them up to cover face as she turned away.

"I'm sorry."

Not knowing what to expect from Goku, she was surprised to see his hands grasp hers. Though this time it was more gentle, almost soft.

"Let me?", he asked her gently.

Though she was hesitant, Kefla allowed for Goku to remove her hands so that he and her could be face to face.

"Its not your fault Kefla," Goku expressed.

Kefla was confused, "what?"

Goku reached out to grasp her shoulder, "you keep blaming yourself for what happened and I can tell its killing you. You believe that its your fault that they will never come back and even worse is that you feel like your nothing."

Kefla voice cracked as she spoke painfully, "because I am. Look at me, I'm not a real person. I am just a conjunction of two individuals who I have no right taking the place of."

Goku studied her, "is this what your nightmare's been about?"

Kefla nodded, "they vary from time to time. The most painful one is seeing my own creation and then when I fail, I can see them staring at me with a mix of agony and pain."

Starting to cry again, Kefla continued "I can't stand it. I never told you Goku, but this has happened to me many times before. And each time it drives me to the point where I fear I'm going to lose my mind."

It was at this point where Kefla truly broke and she brought one of her hands up to her chest, "I can't go on like this. I want the suffering to end."

Goku's eyes winded when he saw KI energy form around her energy until it took the familiar appearance of a green ball.

"Thank you for everything Goku," Kefla whispered.

Before she could do it, Kefla felt her hand being smacked to the side so that the energy ball went straight through the wall.

Kefla looked up at Goku stunned.

"Why did you do that," Kefla asked in anger.

Goku looked back at her sternly, "because, I'm not going to let you do it."

Kefla clenched her teeth, "why? All I've done is mucked everything up."

"Do you really think that?", Goku asked her.

Kefla nodded and turned her head, "I failed to save my universe, my counterparts are stuck in a undeserved fate, and-"

Not wanting to listen to any of it anymore, Goku silenced Kefla by forcefully turning her head and in show of great courage connected his lips with hers.

Shocked by his actions, Kefla tried to push him away, but he only grabbed her wrists again with his hands.

Despite her initial anger, something in Kefla pushed that anger aside as she soon began to feel herself melt into the kiss.


Goku let the kiss go on for a few more seconds before letting go so that they could finally get a chance to breath.

Both took their respected time before Kefla asked, "why..why did you do that?"

Goku took her hand in his. In situations like these he never could figure out what to say, but now was completely different.

"Kefla, I want you to stop this," Goku demanded, "I said it before and I will say it again, your not at fault. It was not your intention for things to come out this way, things just happen and more times then not you can do nothing about them."

He took a deep breath before continuing, "if anything its my fault. I was given an opportunity by the Grand Priest but it was a restricted one by his standards."

Kefla remembered, "why did you do it?"

Goku sighed, "Kefla. I asked for you to come back because at the time it felt like the right thing to do. But, over time my reasoning became more than that."

Kefla saw him lean in closer to her as he finished with, "because I love you."

Goku sealed that with another kiss.

Kefla was surprised again, but this time she did not fight back.
