Vegeta stepped back, not fully comprehending. Was this some sort of a bad joke? To tell
the truth he was slightly uneasy. It had been ages since anyone had bowed to him. He looked at
Kakarot and Bulma for some sort of clarification, but they looked just as confused as he did.
Perhaps the kid had been hit on the head one to many times.
"Vegeta, come here, we need to talk to you." Bulma and Goku beckoned Vegeta into another
room.
"All right, what the hell is going on here?" Vegeta demanded.
"Well, his Cerebral Nueral genes have undergone heavy metamorphosis triggering a reaction
in his instinctive and adrenaline genes resulting in, well, that." Stated Bulma as though it were
the most obvious thing in the world. Vegeta gaped at her.
"She means he is still Ice and he thinks he should bow to you because you are the last of
Freiza's soldiers." Goku said at the look on Vegeta's face. Vegeta's confusion slowly changed to
his usual cocky grin.
"Don't you dare take advantage of poor little Gohan!" Bulma yelled interpreting the look
on his face. "We are trying to help him recover!"
"And what if I do?"
"We'll tell Chi chi." In danger of the wrath of Chichi and being battered with a feather
duster, Vegeta's smirk faded a bit.
"Fine." He said grudgingly. "But I can't stop him from bowing to me. Hey, if it makes the
brat happy, why not?" Vegeta left the room and Bulma sighed.
"What are we going to do?" She wondered aloud.
"What about Kami? Or King Kai? couldn't we ask them for help?" Goku asked.
"I dunno. There is an off chance they might have an idea. Its worth a try, I guess. But
we'd better not tell Chichi. We don't want to get her hopes up." Goku nodded, understanding.
The two went to get Vegeta who was just talking Ice into sparring with him. After a bit of
persuading, Vegeta came with them. They left Ice at Capsule Corps. with Chichi, who could more
than handle her would-be son. Vegeta carried Bulma as they flew over hills and fields, saying
he didn't trust Kakarot to carry her and that if it was up to him, Bulma wouldn't have come on
the trip in the first place.
"Honestly Vegeta, I don't see what you're so worried about. I can take care of myself."
"Yes, but I'm not going to have anyhting happen to the future prince of the Saiyens." He
replied pulling Bulma closer. She grinned.
"You're not even sure its a boy." She said.
"Do you think I would ever have a female child?" Bulma chuckled to herself. He would if she
could help it. They reached Kami's look-out minutes later and landed. Kami was there to greet
them.
"I know why you have come. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do to help Gohan."
He told them sadly.
"Nothing? Are you sure? there must be something." Goku pressed. Kami looked uncomfortable.
"Well, you see Goku, right now, there really is no Gohan. Just Ice. Gohan faught to hard
in the last battle, and he is still recovering inside Ice," Kami began explaining, but Bulma
interupted.
"Well then Gohan can still come back! All he has to do is get strong enough, and then he
can push Ice back down!" She exclaimed, but Kami shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid it is not that simple. There is very little chance that Gohan will
recover while he is still repressed. They are aware of eachother, and Ice will do everything
possible to keep Gohan down-trodden. Unfortunately, Ice is stronger, so Gohan will most likely
never recover."
"You say 'most likely', is there anyhting we can do? at all?" Goku asked desprately.
"Nothing you would want to." Stated Kami.
"I'd do anything." Goku said earnestly "Just name it. I can do anything."
"This task is to much to ask of even you." Even Vegeta looked surprised at this statement.
Goku looked Kami straight in the eye, and the old Namekian saw, not for the first time, the
purity of this extraordinary being. He knew, that if Goku wanted to, he could blow up the entire
universe, take over anywhere he wanted to. But Kami marveled at Goku's amazeing sense of morals.
The thought had never crossed this strange Saiyen's mind. And look at the influence he had on
the people he met. Vegeta was living a life of peace, as was Piccolo as a result of Goku's son.
Kami would have at any other time, given Goku guidance and a solution to his problem, but not
this one. This was to much to ask of anyone.
"I'm sorry Goku, I can't help. Don't ask King Kai, either," He said, reading Goku's mind.
"He won't know." With that, he turned and left them. The three began to fly back towards Capsule
Corps. On the way, Goku tried to contact King Kai, but he wasn't answering. He supposed Kami had
gotten to him first. He left Vegeta and Bulma as they approached Capsule Corp. He needed some time
to think.
What could be so horrible that Kami hadn't thought he could do it? He was a Super Saiyen,
and with all the training he had been doing over the months with Vegeta he could feel himself
approaching a new level. He could handle whatever it was. He was positive.
Goku found himself suddenly in a desert-like area. He sensed a familiar Ki nearby. Of
course. Piccolo always trained in places like this. Goku suspected they reminded him of his home
planet which had been blown up by Freiza so long ago. Goku felt his Ki rise involuntarily. He
had never had such hatred for any other being. That Kold family was definitely loathsome.
"Fancy meeting you here," said a voice behind him.
"Hello Piccolo." Goku said turning to greet his friend.
"Listen Goku, I know what you have to do to get Gohan back. But I warn you, you're
not going to like it." Piccolo said.
"Yeah, Kami pretty much got that point across. So spill. What do I have to do?"
"It's not nessessarily you that has to do it, but someone must. Goku, you have to
kill him. Ice or Gohan, whoever it is, has to die. Soon."
eep! did I write that? *bursts into tears* Gohan's gotta die! waaah!!! Hey, don't look at me, I'm as shocked as
you are! I just let my fingers fly and that is what they produce...
