Final Fantasy 7
The Next Generation
Chapter 10
Goku Returns
Terra looked at her sensei's once strong body shattered on the ground. Gohan looked at Terra's eyes. They were full of pain, anger, grief, and even fear. Fear?! Gohan thought Terra had never been afraid of anything or so he thought. Gohan finally realized that Terra's brave and "I don't give a shit," attitude was only a cover up. After Tom died Gohan and Cat had noticed a change in Terra. She became less emotional; Gohan rarely saw her cry even. She became more of a smart-ass and more defiant. Piccolo's death was bringing something in Terra's mind out. The little pit were she kept all of her emotions was falling apart and letting all of Terra's bottled up emotions out. Terra suddenly started singing. It was soft but Cat recognized it. "I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there. I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there. Through better or worse till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart. I swear." Cat knew the song by heart it was the song that Cloud sang to them as a lullaby. Terra started sobbing. For the first time since Tom's death she was terrified.
Vegeta watched the child cry. She isn't as brave as she seems he thought. Then he looked at her more closely and gasped, "No. She looks just like…….." Then the song the girl sang reached his ears. "I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there. I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there. Through better or worse till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart. I swear." Vegeta recognized the song. It was a song from his past. A song from a long time ago.
{Vegeta-sei many years in the past}
"WHAT?!" the female sayain cried. "Prepare the baby Kidra. He will be sent to Earth tomorrow with Bardock's son Kakkarot," the king replied coldly. "But…… But he is your son! I won't send my baby off to some planet as if he was a third class grunt!" Kidra yelled as her lavender hair hung in her eyes. "I AM KING AND I WILL DO AS I WANT! THAT CHILD IS A WEAKLING AS IS KAKKAROT! NOW PREPARE THE CHILD OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!" king Vegeta screamed. Kidra's eyes filled with tears as she ran from the room towards the chamber that her youngest son occupied. The king snorted as he mumbled about is weak and over reactive wife. "Father," a voice, said from the doorway to his throne room. "What is it Vegeta?" the king snapped. "Father. There are many other children in the nursery. Maybe if you send one of them in the baby's place he could prove himself strong as he grows." the eight-year-old prince said. "WHAT! NOW YOUR QUESTIONING MY JUGDMENT AS WELL?!" the father yelled. "No! I didn't mean to….." Vegeta panicked. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Vegeta yelled sending a blast at his eldest son.
Vegeta closed the door to his father's throne room blocking the blast. "Stupid, pig headed,
bastard," Vegeta mumbled as he walked down the hall to his brother's room. His mother sat there cradling his brother singing to him softly. Vegeta knew the song well. It was his mother's lullaby. "I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there. I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there. Through better or worse till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart. I swear." "Mamma? Are you ok?" Vegeta said stepping towards his mother and little brother. "Yes sweetheart I'm fine. I'm just going to miss your brother. Promise me if you ever cross paths that you'll give him this," Kidra said handing her son a holo-graphic image case. "Don't open it though. You will only see it when you see Cloud again ok?" She asked. "Uh huh. Ok mamma." Her face was etched with sadness. It was a face Vegeta would never forget.
{Present time}
Suddenly an uncontrollable wave of anger, rage, and hate consumed Vegeta's mind. With a scream of fury he sent a blast at the group of half sayains.
Terra felt the blast approaching them and threw Gohan and Cat out of the way taking the blast head on. When the smoke cleared Terra stood there unharmed Vegeta's jaw dropped, she couldn't have survived that attack he thought. Terra's eyes were full of rage. "My sensei, my bother, Goku! All of them gone! It's all your fault!" Terra screamed. She's so angry she doesn't now what she is saying. She can't even see straight Cat thought! Terra screamed as she flew at Vegeta punching him in the stomach. Kuso! She strong but she is attacking out of blind anger Vegeta thought. Vegeta kicked Terra away and threw a blast at her. The blast hit and when the smoke and dust cleared Terra lay on the ground looking very dead. "NOOOOOO!" Cathreine and Gohan screamed. They ran to their friend's side. Gohan checked her pulse. It was faint, but at least she was alive. Anger consumed Gohan's heart and mind as he threw a blast at Nappa. Nappa had caused this. If he hadn't killed Piccolo Terra wouldn't have acted like that he thought.
{1 hour later}
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You actually thought that you a weak little baby could beat me?" Nappa yelled at Gohan's still form. Oh no this can't be happening. I failed everyone. Mom, Dad, Master Roshi, Krillen, Cathreine, Piccolo, and even Terra. I'm sorry guys Gohan thought. Suddenly just as Nappa's fist slammed into the ground Gohan had just been occupying a golden cloud flew Gohan out of harm's way. "Huh?!!!!!! KINTEON! Is that you? Wait if you're here that means……. DAD!?" Gohan shouted. "Hello Gohan. Wow! You got strong big too. Thanks for holding out for me. Here eat this," Goku said tossing Gohan a senzu. "Mmmmm, Hey all my strength is back!" Gohan yelled. "Hey Krill, How ya doin?" Goku asked his old friend. "Not so good pal. Piccolo, Tien, Chaot-Zuo, and Yamcha are dead. And I think Terra is too. It's hard to tell any more." Kriilen said smiling at his good friend. "What!? Terra? Shit! Here eat this I am going to see if Terra-chan is still alive," Goku said his face grim. Gohan followed his father to where Cat was cradling Terra's head in her lap. "Goku-san is she alive?" Cathreine asked her voice full of fear. "Here give her to me and I'll see," Goku said picking Terra's small and limp body in his arms, "She still alive but barely. This should help." Goku put the senzu in the girl's mouth. Terra swallowed it whole and almost instantly her eyes flickered open, "Goku-chan? Goku-chan is that you?" "Yeah it's me Terra-chan. How are you feeling?" He asked. "I have a headache and I'm hungry," Terra responded. "Ha! She'll be alright," Goku said setting Terra on her feet.
Nappa's eyes widened at the sight of the warriors' miraculous recovery. Then he attacked Kakkarot from behind. Goku simply out stretched his palm and sent a blast at him. Nappa lay at Vegeta's feet. Spasms traveled through out his entire body. Vegeta raised an eyebrow in amazement. "Vegeta help me up so we can beat this baka," Nappa wheezed. Vegeta gave Nappa his hand. Nappa took it and suddenly Vegeta grip tightened crushing Nappa's bones. "Maybe you won't be such a disappointment in Hell!" Vegeta said throwing Nappa into the air along with a powerful ki blast. "VEGETA! YOU DIRT LITTLE BASTARD!" Nappa screamed as he died.
"HUH!?" Goku said watching Vegeta as he killed his own partner. Terra's eyes narrowed as she looked at Vegeta. Something wasn't right here. And Terra intended on finding out what.
