~~ Part 5 A
suprising encounter~~
Goku wondered
who lived here but his questions were about to be answered as the door swung
open. Goku mouth fell open of amazement, there was a human women standing in
front of him who was also surprised by his precence. Goku took a close look at
her. She was about as tall as he, she wasn't skinny or fat. She had long black
hair till her waist and her eyes were also black. She wore also the same
Yardrat outfit as he did. Something about her was familiar. The women was still
starring at Goku.
'Could you
please stop staring at me?' Goku asked and for the first time she blinked.
'Sorry, I
didn't want to...' she replied, stuttering.
'Hey, you speak
English that's great; and it's okay,' Goku assured, 'so do you live here in the
middle of the jungle?' She nodded. 'All alone?' The women nodded again. 'Must
be pretty lonley, there aren't any people around for miles,' Goku continued,
'I'm sorry that I barged in like this.'
'Ooh, it's
okay. I useally don't have that much compangy. I'm going to have a wash and
brush up, if you don't mind,' the women replied.
'Okay, I'll
wait if you don't mind,' Goku said. She shaked her head and disappeared into
the bathroom. Goku sat down on the couch but then he realized that he didn't
had a reason to stay. "Well, I promised so I have to stay", Goku thought. He
waited until the women came back, now she was wearing a long black dress with
flowers on it.
'Why are you
here?' she asked.
'I got lost in
the forest,' Goku answered, 'Do you know the way out of it?'
'Where do you
have to go?'
'To Yega.'
'That's pretty
far from here. Don't you want to take a shower and have something to eat?' That
was an offer that Goku couldn't resist. Half an hour later dinner was ready.
Then Goku realized that he hadn't
properley introduced himself.
'How ruth of
me, my name is Goku,' he said, apolizing.
'I'm Cameron,' she
said with an unexplainble smile, 'so what do you like to eat? I've got steak
and a chicken.'
'I would like
to have some chicken,' Goku replied polite. Normally he would plung right on
the food but when he was with strangers Goku tried to show some maners. Cameron
was a good cook and Goku enjoyed the meal. There was not much of a
conversation, Cameron was silent and shy and Goku didn't know ehat to say. When
the two were finished Cameron said,
'This is all
I've got. I hoped you liked it.'
'Yes, thank you,'
Goku replied, 'but i think it's time fir me to go back home, if you don't
mind.'
'Ooh no, of
course not,' Cameron replied, 'I can fly you to Yega.'
'You can fly?!'
Goku asked, surprised.
'Yeah,' Cameron
replied, 'you've never met a women who can fly?'
'Actually, no,'
Goku said, 'can you fight too?'
'What do you
mean? Of course I can fight, I'm a...' Cameron cut herself off, 'but we better
go. It's getting late.' Cameron opened the door, Goku followed and outside she
immeadtely aired. "How can she be so quick?" Goku thought, "she must be pretty
strong but how?" All of a sudden Goku had a brainwave. "And she's human so
she's not from around here. I wonder why she is here and for how long." Then
suddenly it Goku; she was the women he had dreamt about last night. Goku was so
lost in thought that he hadn't noticed that Cameron was flying next to him and
that she couldn't stop staring at him. Luckily, with both not paying any
attention to the route, the came safely to Yega.
'You know the
way from here,' Cameron asked. Goku nodded. 'Well, I'll be on my way then,' she
continued and she was about to air when Goku called her back.
'You weren't
even a little bit surprised when I showed up. Why, there aren't any humans
around here,' Goku noticed sharply. Cameron didn't know what to say so Goku
continued. 'And you didn't ask a thing. So that makes me wonder who are you and
why are you here?' Cameron looked stunned.
'This isn't the
place or the time,' she finally said.
'What do...'
Goku began but Cameron was gone. 'Damn, I hate it when they do that,' Goku
cursed, 'well I better go home before I can't see a thing.' Goku took off, in
the right direction this time, but he didn't saw Cameron who was looking after
him.
'This didn't go
as planned, no it didn't,' she mumbeled and disappeared. Meanwhile Goku had
found his home and tried to get some sleep. He wondered why he first had dreamt
about Cameron and then met her. It was really wierd, this never happened
before. Finally Goku fell asleep with the thought that it perhaps would make
more sense in the morning. That night he had the same dream as he had the night
before and again he woke up, screaming. Now he was too tired to stay awake and
he fell asleep again. The next morning Thaisa came that useal but Goku didn't
notice as he was still asleep. When Thaisa arrived at high-noon Goku still
hadn't woke up. As if Thaisa knew that he was still asleep, as she went right
to the bedroom. A smile appeared on her face when she saw Goku lying there so
peacefully. She gently pushed him so that he would wake up. Goku yawned and
then starteled because he didn't expect that someone was in the room.
'Good
afternoon,' Thaisa greeted.
'Ooh,' Goku
yawned, 'I feel like hell. What time is it?'
'It's twelve o'
clock, I guess.'
'Man,
I'm hungry. I could eat a
horse.'
'I'll bake you
a big omlet,' Thaisa said, 'but take a shower first. You're all sweaty.' Goku
nodded obiently. The sent off eggs, mushrooms and fried cheese filled the
house. When Goku was finished with his brunch he decided to take a risk and ask
Thaisa about Cameron.
'So uh,
Thaisa... are there any other humans around here besides me?'
'Why do you ask
thinhs when you already know the answer?' she shot back. "So she does know
about Cameron," Goku thought.
'Why didn't you
tell me?' he asked.
'Because she
wanted to do it her way,' Thaisa replied. Goku looked at her not understanding.
'You'll see
soon enough,' Thaisa continued.
'What did she
wanted to say? When I was plucking strawberries she would come to me and say
'Hey do you do your groceries here too?' or something like that?' Goku burst
out.
'I don't know,'
Thaisa replied, 'but you can ask her soon as she's on her way here.'
'Fine, I want
some answers and I'll get them,' Goku said determined. Ten minutes later
Cameron landed in front of his house.
Goku walked to
her and ordered, 'I want some answers, who are you?'
'I'm a Saiyan,
Goku,' Cameron replied.
~~ Part 6 The
full thruth revealed~~
Goku didn't
know what he was hearing. Finally he stuttered,
'That's impossible.
All Saiyans except for Vegeta and me are dead. Frieza blew up the planet,
killing everyone.'
'Is it proof
you want?' Cameron said and turned around revealing a tail.
'I believe you.
How did you escape Frieza? And why are you here?' Goku asked.
'I shall
explain everything but first is it true that you've defeated Frieza?' Goku
nodded. 'I hope you're ready for this because it ain't pretty. I don't think
you know a lot about the traditions on our planet; but it always has been that
the men are fighters and that the women are only there to get babies and take
care of the house. When women gave birth to a son everyone was happy as they
had another fighter. Boys were raised to fight, girls were raised to get
babies. But they couldn't just marry anyone; no from birth each Saiyan girl is
linked to a Saiyan boy and they share a band, a band deeper than love. This
band can't be deneyed. Every girl knew which boy she was linked to and him she
was about to marry.' Cameron paused for a second. 'But I was different, I
didn't wanna become a housewife, all I ever wanted was to be a fighter. So,
instead of going to the girl school, I went to the boy school disguised as a
boy. All went well until I was ten years old. I was discovered and my
punishment was to be banished. I crashed on Yardrat and was raised by them. But
as I grew older the band with this boy
grew stronger. At first I deneyed it but later it was too strong to ingnore. It
drove me crazy and I knew I wouldn't be the same if I didn't find this young
men. Then the people of Yardrat told me that my homeplanet was distroyed so
that it was impossible to find this men. But I knew that if he was dead I had
felt it. When you crashed on this planet I immiedately knew you were the men I
was linked to.' Goku gazed at her not knowing what to say. 'You're probably
overwhelmed by what I told you,' Cameron noticed, 'take your time, I'll be
waiting.' Finally Goku managed to say,
'But I'm
already married and I love my wife very much.'
'I'm not saying
that we should get married, as I told you I'm against those traditions,'
Cameron said, 'but don't you feel somewhere deep inside you a desire that
always has been there but couldn't be satisfied until now?'
'Yes... I know
what you're talking about,' Goku replied, 'knowing this, I feel it too.'
'It's strange
talking to you after all this time,' Cameron said, 'but I would like to get to
know you so why don't you tell me something about your life.' And for the
second time that week Goku told his life-story.
'So you're
saying that our prince, Vegeta is still alive,' Cameron interrupted Goku after
telling her that. Goku nodded and continued. When he told her that he was a
Super Saiyan Cameron smiled and told that she already knew that.
'How?' Goku
wanted to know.
'I felt it,
your anger, your power and that's when I turned Super Saiyan too.'
'No way,' Goku
said, 'I sensed your ki and it was powerfull.'
'The people
thaught me how to cloak it,' Cameron replied, 'the band that we share is not
only with our hearts but also with our bodies. The women gets the same strength
as the men she's linked to and if his abilties grow so do hers and visa versa.
That way when they will get a child it will be as strong as his parents.'
'Wow, I never
knew about this stuff,' Goku sighed, 'I hate being Saiyan but now I'm stuck
with the consequences of it.'
'I don't like
it either,' Cameron agreed, 'the reason I wanted to be a fighter was to help
people and do some good in this world.' Goku agreed on that. Suddenly Thaisa
appeared right next to Goku.
'Hey, I've made
some supper,' she said, 'you're out here for hours.
'That long?'
Goku asked, 'well all that talking and listening has made me hungry.'
'Me too,'
Cameron agreed.
'So, Thaisa,
did you all this from the moment I arrived here?' Goku demanded.
'Yeah,' Thaisa
replied and looked questiontly at Cameron who nodded, 'I took care of Cameron
from the moment she crashed.'
'She's been
really good to me, even when I moved to live on my own,' Cameron added.
'That's why I
was the one who got the responsebilty to take care of you,' Thaisa continued.
'Are you two
holding anything else back from me?' Goku asked and they both shaked their
head.
'Good, now I've
still got one question. Why do I keep dreaming about you?'
'I think I know
were you're talking about,' Cameron replied, 'those dreams are there to point
out our destiny.'
'Okay, I
understand,' Goku said, 'Thaisa do you want to eat with us?'
'No thank you,'
Thaisa replied, 'I still have to inform the king. Enjoy your dinner. I'll see you
tomorrow.' Then she disappeared.
'Shoot, I still
can't do that,' Goku muttered.
'I'll teach
you,' Cameron suggsted, 'perhaps we can train toghter.'
'Okay, then you
can teach me some of those famous Yardrat techniques I've heard so much about.'
And so it happened; for the next weeks Goku and Cameron were training toghter.
Cameron thaught Goku everything she knew. At first Goku found it wierd to learn
things from a women but then he discovered that Caneron was a great devoted
fighter. Goku thaught Cameron also some of his attacks and Goku learned also
how to control his Super Saiyan powers. Time flew by and on one day in fall,
when Goku was about six months on Yardrat, Porunga (the namekian dragon)
appeared and said that he was ordered to take Goku back to Earth.
'Can Cameron
come with me,' he asked as he and Cameron got close the last few months (no,
don't even go there!).
'I can take
only you,' Porunga replied.
'Then tell my
friends that I'll come later bacause I want to train a bit more,' Goku said and
Porunga disappered.
'I think it's
time for us to leave Yardrat,' Goku suggsted, 'I miss my friends and family.
'Us, do you
mean that I can come with you,' Cameron asked.
'Of course,
you're my friend,' Goku answered, 'and I don't leave my friends.'
'Ooh, you
really mean it,' Cameron said surprised, 'I'll ask Thaisa if she can fix my
spaceship right away. If you don't mind.'
'No, of course
not,' Goku replied, 'then I continue to work.' When Cameron left Goku realized
that he had missed his family far more than he wanted to admit. He was happy
that Cameron could come with him. He already could imaninge the stunned faces
of Gohan and Vegeta when he told them that he had met another Saiyan. A few
hours later Cameron came back with Thaisa.
'Your spaceship
is almost ready,' Thaisa told him, 'but it will take at least two more months
to fix Cameron's.'
'Well, then we
have to wait for two more months,' Goku said, 'how long will it take us to get
to Earth?'
'I think about
5, 6 months,' Thaisa replied, 'but you can sleep all that time. There's a
function for that in both spaceships.'
'Good, I don't
intend to stay awake for so long,' Cameron joked, 'but can I help in any way?'
'No,' Thaisa
thanked, 'our people do their job and everything will be okay.'
'You'll warn us
when the ship is ready,' Goku asked.
'Of course,'
Thaisa answered, 'you two keep on training and get as strong as possible.' Goku
and Cameron wanted to ask why but Thaisa was already gone.
**Two months
later**
Goku and
Cameron relaxing a bit when Thaisa landed. She looked very troubled.
'What's wrong,'
Goku demanded, 'is it something on the ship?'
'No, it's much
worse than that,' Thaisa sighed, 'it's Frieza. Our spies have just confirmed
that he is alive and on his way to Earth.'
~~Part 7 Back
home~~
'What?' Goku
shouted, 'that's impossible. I've killed him!!!!'
'Yes, but his
father King Cold has searched the pieces of his son and put them back toghter,'
Thaisa told them. Cameron didn't say a word and turned pale.
'We have to
leave a.s.p,' Goku ordered, 'if I know Frieza then he is on his way to detroy
Earth and I can't let that happen.'
'I understand,
I'll make sure that you two can leave in a few days,' Thaisa said and contiuned
whispering, 'but will you look after Cameron, from the moment she was a kid she
was afraid of Frieza.' Goku nodded and tried to comfort Cameron.
'He can't hurt
you,' Goku assured her, 'you're way stronger than him.'
'I know,'
Cameron replied, 'and we're with two and he's alone.'
'That's the
spirit,' Goku said, 'come on. Let's say goodbye to everyone.' Goku and Cameron
flew to Yega to say goodbye to all Cameron's friends and the king and queen.
The queen organised another banquet but this time as a goodbye to Goku and
Cameron. Goku met big-eater again who was now really skinny. The next morning
Cameron said goodbye to Thaisa. It was a very emotinal goodbye with lots of
tears. Cameron waved for a last time and boared. Goku waved too and boared. The
two feel asleeo, they would be awakened when they were near Earth.
A few months
later Goku awoke as the alarm of his computer rang. He felt Frieza's ship
passing him and a few minutes later he heard a bang. Then it was quiet again.
Goku knew there was something wrong with Cameron so he tried to contact her but
there was no answer. Suddenly the content feeling he had had for all this
months turned in to pain, unstopble pain. He knew that Cameron had died through
the band they shared.
'No!' Goku
yelled, 'I'll get you for this Frieza.' He decided not to tell anyone what
happened on Yardrat because he didn't saw the use of it. Then Goku was brought
back to sleep until he was near Earth. Goku awoke still with the acking pain.
He noticed that Frieza had landed and he was about to use instant transmission
when he felt a real strong force. "Aah, that must be Vegeta or Piccolo. They
will finish him off," Goku thought. Hours later he finally landed on Earth.
