Sacrifice for Love: Goku

Goku walked with Vegeta towards his son. Upon Kami's lookout a power the likes of the world had never seen awaited Gohan, Goku and Vegeta. This warrior had given the three Saiyans one chance to save this world without innocence being hurt in the process. The three Saiyans now stood there silently, reminiscing over there lives and their loved ones. They all new that it was a fare chance they would not survive this but they had to try. The world had no one else.

Goku had saved this world many times before. He'd even saved the universe on one or two occasions. But now this power made him wonder if he could do it again. Never had he felt as scared as he did now. He had died before and that didn't bother him anymore. It happens so often he barely notices it when it happened. But just because it hadn't hurt him doesn't mean others wouldn't be hurt. He had a wife and two sons that he had left once before due to his heroics but could they cope if it happened again? Chi Chi had razed Goten all on her own so he knew they could survive but something would always be missing from their lives: himself.

And now as he prepared to face his destiny one thought lingered in his mind: Will I ever see her again? It was a thought that could have made him run off and cower, Earth's saviour or not. But Goku faced the thought like a true hero. He faced it head on. He looked back over their lives together: their first dates, their wedding, the day Gohan was born, the day he got back from space and the day he left to fight Cell. On everyone of those days he had been filled with love for her. He needed her. He looked around to see his prince struggling with the same thoughts he was having. He looked to his son. He could see that he had truly become a man. Goku put a hand on his shoulder. Gohan turned around a smiled weakly. Then Vegeta put his hand on the boy's other shoulder.

"We know how you feel son" said Goku. After that not a word was spoken. They slowly rose into the air and took off towards the lookout to fight for their loved ones, even if it meant their end.
