Chapter 7: Goku!

Almost a year had passed since Vegeta and Trunks left Earth. Goten was now a little over a year old.

"Come on, Goten, come to mommy." Chi-Chi said holing her arms out to her baby boy. Goku was holding him up so he wouldn't fall down. "You know what, Goku, We should have taught him to walk sooner." Chi-Chi complained.

Goten started to toddle over to Chi-Chi. "Ma-ma..." he cooed as he reached for her. "Goku, He's doing it! He's walking!" Chi-Chi yelled as she picked up Goten. Goku smiled and got up. "I'm going out to train." He walked outside. Gohan was already out there training. "Gohan, you wanna spar?" Goku asked happily. "Sure, dad."

They began their fight. They exchanged a few kicks and punches then a few ki blasts. Goku seemed to have the upper hand, but Gohan was a little wore out from his long training.

Soon night set in and they went in to eat. Chi-Chi set Goten in a highchair, and fed him while Gohan and Goku quickly ate. After eating. They all cleaned up and the kids went to bed.

Goku looked out the living room window. "Hmmmm…" "What is it, Goku?" Chi-Chi asked. "Oh, nothing," replied Goku. He walked away from the window and followed his wife into the bedroom.

Later that night, about 2 am, Goku awoke to a strange feeling. Gently and quietly he got out of bed and walked to the front door. He looked around on the ground then in the sky. "What is that?" He asked himself out loud.

Goku took off into the night sky. The moon was full and lit the sky beautifully. It was clear out and the stars were very visible. He watched the stars as he flew. ' I wonder where Trunks and Vegeta are…' He thought to himself.

Goku landed in a hilly area with quite a few trees. "It's close." Something sparkled in the distance, on the ground, Goku walked up and picked it up. "What's this?" "That's mine. I'm glad you found it." An odd voice said from behind a near by tree. Goku looked up startled. Someone stepped out in front of him. "Who are you?" He asked. The person was silent.

Goku took a fighting stance, sensing a strong, unfamiliar ki. "Heh, this should prove interesting." The stranger said as they took their fighting stance. "You can call me Iva." Goku looked shocked. "You're… You're the one who killed Bulma!" Iva smiles. " You're going to pay for that!" Goku yelled as he powered up into Super Saiyan. "Yes, that's it, Goku, all your power." Iva mumbled. Goku's enemy powered up as well. "You ready, Goku?" He was silent. "Very well!" Iva yelled.

***********************************

Gohan jumped out of bed. "What's that?" He walked in to his little brother's room. "Good, Goten's alright." He quietly opened the door to his parents' room. Some one seemed to be missing in the bed. "Dad's gone!" He yelled in a whisper. Gohan ran to the front door and outside. He could feel his father power raising. He rushed inside, threw on a shirt and pants, and then took off into the sky. "Dad, I'm coming."

*************************************

As Goku powered up to his max the little crystal he had picked up started to glow purple. Iva smiles at the crystal, " Goku, show me all you got." Goku put his hands out in front of him. "Ka… Ma…Ha…Ma..." he began. Before he could yell 'Ha' he was hit by something and felt like he was loosing a lot of energy. He looked startled. Goku saw Iva smiling and staring at his hand. He looked down. There, in his palm, was the glowing crystal. "That's it! This is what's sucking my energy!" He yelled as he tried to remove it. "It wont come off." Iva yelled at him.

While Goku tried frantically to get the crystal off, Iva appeared behind him, and kicked him in the head, sending him flying through three trees. Goku stood up. His shirt was torn and the trees were knocked down. Iva flew at Goku, throwing punches at him. He blocked every punch. They continued like that for a little bit then Iva stopped. "Okay, Goku, no more playing games. You're dead!" Goku just stood there waiting. "Tragedy Blast!" Iva yelled as a deadly blast went through Goku's chest. Goku fell to the ground.

"You will pay…..Vegeta will…sooner or later...find…you." He mumbled as his life quickly began to slip away. Iva took the crystal from Goku's hand and flew off. "Good Luck … Vege….." Goku's last breath slipped from his mouth, as he lay there dead.

Gohan landed. "Dad! Dad, were are you?" He yelled. "I just felt a ki fade… someone's dead." Gohan walked until he spotted a body on the ground. He rushed over to it. "Daddy!" He yelled as tears streamed down his cheeks. He powered up into super saiyan then super saiyan two. "Noooo! Daddy!!" He yelled. Gohan fell to his kneed beside Goku's lifeless body. "DADDY!!!!"
