Chapter 8: Truth needs telling.

Kyjin punched harder and harder, his fists creating gusts of wind as they ripped into the air. Sweat poured down his brow as he launched into a barrage of lightning fast kicks. Training was all he could do, to get the situation off his mind. But it still seeped into the cracks. He stopped as he hovered back down to the ground, where he picked up a white towel and dabbed the areas of sweat on his young body.

He turned and looked at the crude stone bench that had been their resting spot in the garden which was smack in the middle of the dojo, one area consisting of flowers and a small koi pond. The other consisting of a zen garden which textures created a wavy motion making it look more like cloth than sand. He sat on the bench, pondering the effects of the previous week.

After Gomay had come back from his talk with Mr. Goku, he noticed a certain glow about him, he seemed happier than unusual. And also he neglected his training, not putting his whole attention on his blows. Kyjin panted with frustration at the next though that entered his mind.

Goku and Bulma. That thought made him cringe. It was just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong on all accounts. They each were married and had kids for cripes sake. Chi Chi was back which was a good thing, it limited the times they saw each other. But Kyjin then connected the pair to Gomay.

Why is he encouraging this? He thought as he threw down his towel in frustration.

"He knows it's wrong and yet he helps them!" he shouted in anger and confusion.

Gomay had been his best friend since he could remember, since master adopted him and made them his pupils. Gomay was a strange boy, resembling many characteristics of Goku and his sons. He was always cheerful and always looked to the brighter side, yet his determination came in many of their battles.

One battle for certain. A entity of evil known as Venus had appeared on their dojo doorstep. Looking like that of a humble older woman. Gomay loved her, he could see that. She was the mother he never had, and a good one at that. But Kyjin had not opened his heart to her. Or anyone.

He followed his life and training determination after Vegeta. Vegeta plain out was his hero, his idol. He would model his life and his attitude off of Vegeta. But there was many a time in which he saw Vegeta fight his inner demons. Kyjin was afraid of becoming like this, but he never got that serious in his training, thanks to Gomay.

After Venus had tricked their master into falling in love with her, she began to suck the life out of him, slowly. Till she gathered all the energy and turned back into her true form, a hideous plant monster. Kyjin had wasted no time in fighting her. But Gomay was hesitant, he did not want to cause this woman harm. Yet when she had Kyjin on the ropes and with the master's near lifeless body before her, Gomay had lost it. With his heart burning of anger and determination, Gomay destroyed her with one single blast.

A blast that would be known as the Golden Flare.

Kyjin snapped out of the past as there came a sound of footsteps on the stone pathway through the garden.
It was their master. Still in his prime, only a moth or so younger than Goku and Vegeta, he still possessed great amounts of power, skill, and knowledge.

"Kyjin." he said picking up the towel and offering it to him.

"I don't need it." he said roughly as he walked back along the path.

"But you should have it." he said as he gave the towel a quick throw. Kyjin reached back and caught it in a snap without even looking.

As he entered the door and shut it, the master's words became rephrased in his mind.

"He doesn't need to know."

"But he should know."

With his mind made up, he dropped the towel and flew out the door to Capsule Corporation.

Gomay laughed as he dumped the flowers into the basket. Ayame smiled as she gently put in her handful. Soon the basket was filled with a bright assortment of wild flowers.

"Thanks for coming with me Gomay." Ayame said as she lifted up the basket.

Gomay was dressed in his usual black long sleeved shirt with his gold Gi over it. He smiled and said.

"You're welcome Ayame." he said as he walked by her side, his sayjin tail swaying left and right to the rhythm of their steps. Gomay had decided to come with her as she picked flowers for her uncle. He was bored of training for the moment.

Then there came a feeling, a sharp pang in the back of his head. It was a strange sensation, something he never felt before. The feeling was growing stronger and getting closer. A wind, blowing leaves through the grass was making it's way toward them. Gomay then understood what this feeling was.

Pure rage.
"Ayame, get out of..." before he could finish he message, a almighty force, slammed into him, sending him flying back. through the forest, crashing through hundreds of trees and finally smacking into the face of a enormous Cliffside.

Violent blue energy shook the very ground as the presence walked closer to Gomay's hurt form.

Gomay looked ahead, dazed by the blow, he could barley make out the figure in front of him. Yet even in his momentary state of confusion, he could see a pair of eyes. A pair of pure white eyes, gleaming with anger and rage. Gomay looked around, the figures energy sending cracks into the ground were un apparent to him as he gazed to his left, and saw scared Kyjin watching in pure horror.

"Kyjin." He moaned in revelation as he knew who this figure was.

Vegeta.

All Gomay could do was brace for the next attack.

"Goku what are we doing here?" she asked as the smiling warrior led her by the hand into the clearing in which everything had started.

"I want to show you something." he said as he led her to the small pond.

Goku was relieved to get away from Chi Chi. Trust me, that's not as bad as it sounds. It's just that he and his sons had not been the tidiest of home keepers while she was away and she was on a constant clean streak, cleaning everything, everywhere.

"But Goku what if Vegeta..." Goku looked into her eyes.

"He can sense your Ki yes, but I learned a trick in the afterlife, a trick to completely erase your energy from all detection."

Bulma snuffed.

"Okay I'm impressed, what other tricks you want to show me?" she said with a hint of mischief in her voice.

Goku looked at her.

"Sit down." he said. She did so, sitting cross legged by the pond.

"Now watch." he said as he touched his hands to the surface of the water, the water began to glow gold and the ripples created a amazing display of brilliance along the water's surface.

"Oh my, Goku it's beautiful." she said as she stared at the surface of the glowing water.

Goku gulped. This was going to be a little tougher than he thought.

"Bulma there's something I have to tell you." He said as he grasped her hand gently.

"What is it Goku?" she asked concerned as she returned the gesture with a encouraging squeeze.

Goku took in a breath.

"Two nights ago, Chi Chi snuck up on me and surprised me. She surprised me," he said slower

"So?"

"I've always been able to sense her Ki, able to detect her from miles away. When I asked Dende what it was, I was horrified."

Bulma looked at him concerned. "Goku, what's wrong?" she asked

Goku took in another breath. "It's broken Bulma, me and Chi Chi's bond has been broken. I've broken it." he said.

Bulma was speechless.

"Before long, your bond with Vegeta will break, you won't know it but it will. It's just a matter of time before he finds out there is no bond and starts asking questions." He said.

Bulma looked to her cross legs in worry. Either way, they were going to find out. A tear trickled down her face, Goku noticed it and brought tilted her chin to meet his gaze.

"What happens happens. No matter what, even if we're torn apart and never to even look at each other again, I will always love you Bulma."

Another tear came from Bulma 's eyes, but not one of despair. One of joy and love."

She wrapped her hands around his neck.

"And I will love you Goku." she proclaimed as the two kissed.
As they kissed, Goku leaned their bodies down till both were laying, with Bulma on top. They continued kissing passionately for awhile before a loud explosion and a burst of Ki, broke the two lovers.

"Oh my." Bulma started, as she knew who the Ki belonged two.

Goku sat back in fear, for he two knew what was causing this Ki. But what frightened him was the sensation of a familiar Ki falling.

"Gomay." he announced at just above a whisper.

A similar shout was made only louder.

"GOMAY!" Ayame cried as she watched her friend being sent flying by another of the Sayjin princes kicks.

Gomay went spiraling into the ground, creating a huge crater where he landed. A familiar sensation came to him. It was his dream, it was really happening.

Gomay would feel the dirt in his eyes and his lips starting to bleed.

The sayjin prince walked over to him, and like the dream, pressed his knee against the young boy's throat.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN BOY!?" he shouted/asked.

"UNLESS YOU TELL ME HOW LONG YOU'VE KNOWN, THE PAIN WON'T STOP!" he yelled as he pressed harder, cutting of the boy's source of air and causing him to gasp loudly.

"You're lucky." he stated sinisterly as he continued to torment the boy.

"You're only getting a taste of what I'm going to give to that sayjin bakka."

Too caught up in his tormenting, he failed to notice a orange Ki blast till it smacked him in the shoulder. It was very minor, but it got his attention. He released his leverage on the Gomay's throat, as he stared at the person who had fired it.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM, NOW!" she stated.

Ayame stood, ready to fire another blast if necessary.

Vegeta sneered.

"Is the little girl, ready to risk her life for her boyfriend?" he asked in a mocking tone.

Ayame smiled.

"Well, at least my boyfriend isn't going to get kicked in the face." Before he could react, Vegeta was knocked into a groove of trees, by a very pissed off Gomay.

Kyjin could see the determination in Gomay's eyes.

Gomay stood there as Vegeta pushed himself up from the now destroyed groove of trees.

Vegeta smirked.

"Don't worry boy, your suffering will end once I find Kakarot."

Gomay matched Vegeta's sneer.

"If I have my way, you won't touch him." he stated coldly.

Vegeta laughed, his cold, sinister, laugh as his eyes, filled with rage, stared at the young sayjin.

"Very well, you get one chance. Hit me with your strongest attack, take a free shot." he said as he opened his arms, exposing his chest in a mocking gesture.

"You don't want that Vegeta." Gomay proclaimed.

"You're one shot at the big time boy, don't blow it." Vegeta said as he relaxed his body, ready to take anything the little sayjin could throw.

Gomay looked to his left, his face full of worry. Kyjin was in the open and he shook his head in confusion. Gomay looked to his right, to Ayame, who was also shaking her head in confusion.

Gomay had made up his mind from the start.

"Okay!" he shouted, as he pulled a Kamehameha stance.

"How, sweet. After that baka, Kakarot." Vegeta stated amused.

Gomay brought his hands back and began charging up. His hair flicker as the bright gold aura surounded him. Vegeta could feel the boy's energy rising.

Pretty soon, a gold energy ball sprouted to life in Gomay's hands. The charging processed continued, as Gomay's hair shot up and turned gold. The became slightly larger, filling up Gomay's grip. Gomay then pointed both of his hand back as he continued to charge. With a ferocious yell, Gomay shot up to level two.

Vegeta began to get worried, as he to began to charge, bringing his body to his peak power to meet the oncoming onslaught.

"GOLLLLLLL" Gomay started to yell.

Kyjin then realized what Gomay was doing as he ran down the hillside.

"No Gomay don't!" he yelled but then was blown back when he came too close.

Ayame, who was perched on a hill top, was forced to shield her eyes as the bal; became brighter.

"DEENNNNNN." At this moment the ball sprouted to enormous proportions, reaching the height of 10 men and the power emitting from it was overwhelming.

Vegeta stood there, stunned at the attack that was being performed before him.

"How can such a small boy, be that powerful?" He questioned.

He should have run right then and there, yet something was keeping him there.

Was it Anticipation? Exhilaration? No, it was his pride.

He shook all thoughts from his head.

"BRING IT ON!" he shouted as he powered up his defense.

Gomay shut his eyes in concentration, as the giant ball of energy disappeared in a blink, his right hand now glowing fiercely. He pointed the empowered arm toward Vegeta.

Goku burst through the trees, with Bulma in tow, just in time to see what was going on.

"GOMAY! NO!" he protested, it was too late, as the final words escaped Gomay's lips

"FLLLAAAAARRRREEEE!"

The fabled attack was released, and Dende help whoever crossed it's path.

Oh boy, Vegeta's screwed. This is a little poll I'll be running for the next week.

Make him survive. Or kill him off.

Your choice.

See ya, science homework awaits for no man.
