to the story any more, so just ignore it ^_^.
Goku stared at Piccolo for a bit before what he was saying sank in. Now he knew why
Kami hadn't wanted to tell him.
"You're sure?" He asked, thopugh he already knew the answer. Piccolo nodded gravely. Goku
nodded, swallowed hard, and flew off back towards Capsule Corp. Piccolo looked after him calmly.
'No way Goku would kill his son, even if it wasn't really his son.' He thought. "I'll just
have to do it myself" He didn't worry about it to much. He had killed people before. This wasn't
any different. But then a little voice in the back of his head began to tug softly, reminding him
that Gohan was still in there, and this would mean killing him, too. "Damn that conscience. It
is a sign of weakness and I am not going soft." Resolute, he turned and follwed Goku's path towards
Capsule Corp.
As Goku sped to Capsule Corp, a light drizzle began its downward course to splatter on the dry
Earth below. Goku landed and walked inside capsule Corp as the rain picked up. Soon it was drumming
a steady beat on the windows. Inside, Bulma, Vegeta, and Goku sat, each contemplating the fate of the
young boy training in the Gravity room. Goku had informed them of what was the only alternative
to living with Ice forever. Chichi had gone elsewhere to do who-knows-what and had not been told
yet. Bulma was in shock, and Goku was searching silently for some way out of the situation. Vegeta
on the other hand, was confused.
There once was a time when Vegeta would have gladly killed the runt without a second thought,
and he could do so now, he thought. But then, when he really thought about it, Vegeta doubted
whether he could simply walk into the Gravity room and blast Ice to hell.
Chichi walked in holding a feather duster and was stunned at the strange silence which
seemed to have over taken the room. She asked why, and Goku stood and explained it all to her.
"You have to WHAT???" Chichi first looked scared and then enraged. Goku shrank back behind
his chair. "There is NO WAY you are killing my son!" With that, she bolted out the door and into
the rain.
"Crazy woman," muttered Vegeta. Bulma stood to go after her, but Goku stopped her.
"She'll be fine. I felt like doing that when Piccolo first told me what we had to do."
"But Goku, how are we going to do this?" Goku looked at the floor. It was true none of them
had any idea of how to go about this. They decided to wait until Chichi got back.
Hours passed. The storm outside quickly turned into a raging tempest; one that would
turn any Saiyen from his path and force him to seek shelter. The sky had become pitch black, yet
the ground and buildings seemed to be bathed in a spooky sort of glow. Occaisionally, lightening
flashed across the sky revealing the outlines of dark clouds, but this was the only hint to onlookers
that the sky was still there and had not fallen, causing them to stare out into oblivion. Wind
whipped the trees to breaking point and still Chi chi did not return. The thunder crashed so loudly
it was a wonder the walls didn't collapse. But then...
*CRASH!!!*
All three of them jumped, all asking the same question- 'what was that?!' Goku and Vegeta's
advanced hearing had picked up the noise coming from the Gravity room and rushed over. When they
got there, there was a huge hole in the wall. Amid the rubble, with two fingers pressed to his
forhead, stood Piccolo. (note: forgive me, I live by dubbed episodes. If this isn't Piccolo's
real attack, let me know.)
"Piccolo, what are you doing?" exclaimed Goku
"Charging up my beam cannon, what does it look like?" Piccolo said. Bulma chose that moment
to walk in.
"Piccolo, what are you doing?" Piccolo didn't answer. the beam cannon was finished charging.
"Special..."
"Piccolo don't!"
"Beam..."
"Listen green bean..."
"Cannon..."
"Piccolo, we can find an alternative..."
"Fire!" A whirl of light escaped piccolo's fingers. Ice put up his Ki sheild instantly,
but Piccolo's beam was penetrating it...it would break through soon. Goku debated whether to stop
Piccolo or not...this would get rid of Ice. What was he thinking? Goku was astounded with himself.
How could he have thought, for even a second that he should let Piccolo kill his son?
"STOP!" But it wasn't Goku's voice that rang out. A figure ran into the room. She was
holding a glass phial which was overflowing with a putrid smelling liquid.
"Chi chi?" Bulma asked
"I SAID STOP, YOU OVERGROWN GREEN BEAN!" Chi chi was now advancing on a rather stunned
Piccolo who stopped his attack to defend himself against an angry mother. "What do you think
you're doing?" chichi asked calmly, but her eyes revealed fire. Piccolo swallowed and regained
his composure.
"I'm getting rid of that." He said pointing at a stunned Ice. Chi chi looked as though she
was about to explode again. Piccolo added quickly
"Its the only way to get Gohan back." Chi chi sighed exasperatedly.
"It's not. Bulma, I'm surprised you didn't think of this," Chichi said reprovingly to
Bulma. She was holding up the glass phial. "I took the liberty of collecting the Dragon Balls
myself, since you were obviously to preoccupied to do so."
"But how did you..." Bulma stammered
"But we already..." Vegeta started. Goku grinned.
"Of course! we asked the Dragon to reverse the effects of the Dream Gas, but we didn't
ask him for a way to reverse it. I'm guessing that's a reversal," Goku said looking at his wife
for comfirmation. Chichi nodded slowly.
"But it should have been a year before the Dragon Balls were good again!" Exclaimed Bulma.
"No no, you guys went off and collected the balls then asked for a wish that couldn't
be granted. Then you just left without making another wish. The Dragon Balls scattered without turning
to stone because they hadn't really been used." Chi chi explained, much calmer now. "Besides. Do you think
I would let some stone stop me from calling the dragon?"
"That's all very well and good, but how are you going to make him drink it? Especcially
If you can't find him." said Piccolo. Indeed, Ice was gone from the room. He could be any where.
"No problem," Goku said, and he went off to look for his son, turning Super Saiyen to
heighten his senses. Piccolo vanished again and Bulma set about repairing the Gravity room's wall
while Vegeta trained elsewhere. Chichi commenced cleaning. Half an hour later, Goku reappeared
with a struggling Ice under one arm. "There's still the problem of getting him to drink, though."
he said worriedly.
"No problem, Said Bulma, walking in. "Bring him to the hospital wing and put him on the
bed. You'll have to hold him down." Chichi came along to the hospital wing Goku held Ice down
while Bulma pulled out a needle.
"What's that for?" Goku asked nervously.
"Relax, it's not for you." Bulma injected Ice with the liquid. Goku nearly passed out, and
Ice did pass out. "Don't worry, it's just a side effect," Bulma said glancing at Chichi's nervous
face. Suddenly the boy woke up. Goku tightened his grip just in case, but it was Gohan.
"What happened?" He asked groggily holding his head. Chi chi fainted from relief and Goku
smiled. Bulma explained everything to the poor confused boy. Gohan looked shocked at what he had
done.
"I actually bowed to Vegeta?" He said in disbelief "How out of it was I?"
And so life returned to nearly normal for the Z warriors. Ice was gone- for good it
seemed. Many small threats arose, but they were unimprtant and taken care of quickly and easily
by the warriors. Bulma's child was born when Gohan was Eleven. it was, as Vegeta had prophesied,
a boy, with lavender hair. Much to Vegeta's protests, Bulma named the boy Trunks. They all lived
happily Ever After- until my next fic, that is ^_^
The End (finally!!)
Whooo-hooo! I finally finished it! this whole thing started at the 'Potential Threat' and ended
here, but its finally finished! Of course, there are more coming! You didn't really think I would kill Gohan, did you? no, I could
never do that ^_^ But thanks so much to everyone who commented throughout these parts. Each comment
and email helped! This fic is finished, but the next one is coming soon... ^_^ oh, I have big plans
for the next on, BIG plans ^_^ so, till next time- Toodles!
