"I don't know what it is. . .I just sense something weird around you." Miyu continued to observe 18.
18 was clearly uncomfortable at the stares she was currently getting.
Link nodded. "You're right. Something's different. Something in your aura."
"Are you sure nothing happened that we need to know about?" Vegeta asked her.
"I told you nothing happened! And you guys must be delusional because it's impossible to sense anything from me!!!"
Goku put his hands on his wife's shoulders. "Calm down hun."
". . ." 18 sighed and lowered her head. "Sorry."
Goku put his hand under her chin and lifted it. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah. . .I guess I'm just kinda tired."
"Wanna go home?"
"No."
A large shadow crept towards them and covered the area. As the shadow moved away a strong gust of wind blew at them.
They looked up and watched as what appeared to be a spacecraft, landed. "What on earth?" 18 pulled out of Goku's grip and turned to look at it.
"It looks like a saiyan ship." Goku said quietly.
The door of the ship opened and dropped to the ground. Two men and one woman walked out of the ship and approached them. "Greetings." The woman extended her hand towards Goku.
Goku grabbed her hand and shook it, taking notice of the tail wrapped around her waist. "Do I know you?"
"No but I know of you Goku Son." She turned her head to the right a bit and smiled, "And your friend Vegeta over there."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes on her.
"My name is Vasha. I've come here on behalf of the saiyan community."
Goku gave her an odd look. "Saiyan community? I didn't know there was such a thing."
"Not many people on earth do. We started as a small group. We took over a far off planet and made it our new home. The population slowly began to grow. Some saiyans from earth went to live there but most of the inhabitants are offspring of the original group so they are very young and haven't had abdicate training."
"So what does that have to do with us? If you expect me to leave my home here to come live with you then you're wasting your breath."
"An enemy is trying to destroy us. We managed to ward them off but they went back to their planet and they will be back with a larger, fiercer army. We need all the help we can get." The three strangers bowed. "Please help save our planet. We have gone against our pride in order to save our people."
Goku stood silent for a moment then looked at 18. "I need a moment alone to discuss this with my wife."
Vasha glanced at 18 then back at Goku and nodded.
"We don't need to talk about anything Goku. I'll go with you, we need to help these people."
Goku sighed, grabbed her hand and walked away from the rest of them.
"I've made up my mind." Vegeta stepped forward, "I'm going."
Miyu crossed her arms and leaned up against a near by tree.
"We can never thank you enough Vegeta."
"Goku, what's wrong with you? They need help, we should help them."
"I'm going to 18."
"Well let's go then!" 18 tried to pull out of his grip but he refused to let go. "Goku, what are you doing?"
"I'm going 18. . .You're not."
"What!? What the hell are you talking about!? You're not going to leave me behind!"
"18, you know I love you right?"
18 sighed and her expression softened. "If you're worried about me getting hurt-"
"It's more complicated then that. You have to stay here."
"But I want to go with you. . ."
"I know but you can't."
"Why not?"
"Because. . ." Goku smiled and brushed a lock of hair away from her face. "There's no telling how long this will take. . ." He embraced her and kissed her passionately. It was unlike any kiss they had shared before. He slowly parted his lips from her and put his hand on her stomach. "You have to stay here and raise our child."
18's eyes widened. ". . ."
"I love you so much." He held her close and looked around, he wanted to remember everything about this moment.
"You. . .You can't go. Not now."
"I have to. . .It's just something I have to do." He let go of her and stepped back. "It would be easier if I just left right now. . .I love you 18. . .I'll be back as soon as I can."
18 stared at him, not able to speak.
Goku turned and walked back towards the others.
~I. . .I can't believe it. No wonder the others felt energy coming from me. And he's leaving now? He can't leave, I need him. But this is important to him. . .It doesn't matter, he needs to stay here. I'll. . .I'll make him stay~ She looked around and noticed Goku getting on the ship. "No!!!" She ran towards it as quickly as she could.
The door closed and the ship began to rise.
"Goku wait!!!" She passed Link and Miyu but was stopped. She jerked her head to the side and glowered at Link. "Let go of me!"
"Sorry 18, Goku told me not to let you follow."
18 swung around towards him with her fist drawn out to the side. She slammed her fist into his face, full force, causing Link to let go and fly back so far that he could no longer be seen. 18 quickly flew up and started racing towards the tiny dot in the sky that was the saiyan ship.
"18!" Miyu jumped up into the sky and chased after her. ~I have to slow her down~ Miyu muttered something under her breath and thrust her hand forward.
"Ah!" A bright light flashed in front 18 and some invisible force suddenly pushed her back.
Miyu grabbed 18 and held on to her tightly. "18, he's gone! There's nothing you can do about it!"
18 looked at her for a second then struggled to break free as her eyes watered. "Get the fuck off of me!!!"
Miyu took one hand off her arm and quickly smacked 18 in the face.
". . ." 18 stopped moving and closed her eyes.
". . .He's gone but he'll be back soon. You still have friends that care about you. . .You aren't alone." Miyu let go of 18 and crossed her arms.
". . .I'm scared Miyu." She opened her eyes and slowly turned her head to look at the girl in front of her. "I need him." She put her hand over her stomach and tears began to fall from her eyes. "I don't want to do this without him."
Miyu's eyes widened. "I. . .are you? No way. . ."
"Yes. I'm pregnant."
