Descendants, Earth's New Hope
Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the Dragonball/z/gt characters. . .Just so you know. Well actually I only put this here because I have to.
It had happened so fast, he barely had time to think it over.
Terra embraced Goku and kissed him gently. Goku whispered her name as he put his arms around her and kissed her passionately. ~I've never felt this way about anyone in my life. I don't know how I'm going to be able to leave her, even if it's just for a little while~ He tried to pull away when he tasted tears but she wouldn't let him break the kiss. ~Why is she crying~
Goku suddenly felt a small pain in his back as something sharp penetrated his skin. Terra pulled away from him and there was a sound of metal hitting the floor. "I can't." Terra looked at him in horror as she backed away. She continued stepping backwards until her back hit a wall. She slid down the wall and began an inconsolable fit of tears.
Goku looked at her then looked down and saw what had hit the floor and picked it up. It was a dagger with a long, extremely sharp blade. The very tip was the only part covered in blood, she had not put the blade in very deep. "Terra. . ." He kneeled down in front of her.
"Please forgive me." Terra covered her face and continued to sob. Her guilt kept her from looking at him. "I deserve to die."
Goku sighed. "No, that's not true. Now will you please explain this to me?"
"Just kill me. I don't want to live." She leaned back and tilted her head up, leaving her throat exposed. She closed her eyes and bit her lower lip.
Goku grabbed her left wrist and placed the dagger in her hand. "I'd sooner die then kill you."
Terra opened her eyes and looked at him. "Oh Goku." She set the dagger down then reached out and wrapped her arms around him. "Why does it have to be like this?" She rested her face on his shoulder.
Goku could feel her tears soaking through his shirt. "Terra, what's going on?"
"It's all one big set up." Her grip on him became tighter.
Goku put one arm around her back and placed his other hand on the back of her head. "What do you mean?"
"My father wants the dragonballs. He's willing to do anything to get them. Even turn his own children into criminals."
". . ."
"I was supposed to gain your trust since day one and tonight, I was to distract you and. . . and then, when your guard was down. . ." He could feel her shaking. "Goku I just couldn't do it. I told him I couldn't bring myself into harming an innocent person."
Goku leaned back and put his hand under her chin. "Is that really the only reason you couldn't do it?"
". . .No." She looked at him sadly.
He smiled then pushed a lock of hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear.
"I'm sorry for what I have done. . .for what I was about to do."
"You don't have to apologize. Your father put you in a terrible situation. You had to make a choice that no one should have to make."
She shook her head slightly as she looked into his eyes. "How can you be so kind to me after what I've done?"
He took her hands into his. "I have my reasons."
She tried to hold her tears back as she leaned forward and whispered into his ear.
Goku looked at her. "I feel the same way."
She gave a weak smile and hugged him. After a moment, she let go and got to her feet. She wiped her eyes, "I almost forgot."
Goku got up and looked at her. "Forgot what?"
"We haven't much time." She grabbed her black cloak from her dresser and began to put it on. "I know where father keeps the other dragonballs. Goku. . .I'm going to help you get them."
Goku's eyes widened. "He has more then one?"
"Yes. Four, including the one he stole from Kara."
~Four! That means all seven are actually here in this castle~ "Are you sure you should go? It'll probably be dangerous."
Terra nodded. "I want to help. Besides, I'll be in danger anyway when my father finds out you're still alive."
"I suppose that's true. . .wait a minute. . .What about the others?"
"I was just about to get to that." Terra put the hood of the cloak over her head and sighed. "Faye and I had the same objective. Though knowing her, she'll want her fun before she tries to kill him. And Kara. . ." She turned around and put her hand on the doorknob. "I suppose there's no nice way to say this. . .Lark is to mate with her."
"What?! Why?!"
"If for some reason the dragonballs don't work. . .Kara is to give birth to a half breed so that the child can leave and find a different way to break the spell over the village."
Goku's calm attitude disappeared. "We have to help them!"
"We shall. Vegeta first. Then we will go after the dragonballs."
"What about Kara?"
"It would be wise to help her last. Vegeta's life is in danger so he must be first. Father will be up soon. . .we have to get the dragonballs before he wakes up." She opened the door and walked out.
Goku walked out as well. ~She's right. . .But Kara. . .We have to hurry~ He followed her, trying to control the rage inside. ~If he does anything to her. . .I'll make him pay~
