How Do You Know?



Chapter 5: Dreaming



Waiting was not his strong suit. Never was never would be. However wait he did, it drove him nuts but he did so anyhow. Letting out a string of profanities, he went to the window and stared at the sky. It was covered in diamonds and thousands upon thousands of gems that winked and twinkled. Now that fascinated him for some odd reason, he couldn't help it. They seemed to call to him, telling him the dreams he had could happen out there. Hell, anything could. Didn't Nappa tell him that? He couldn't really recall. Oh well, that wasn't the important thing.



"Pretty, aren't they?" said a familiar voice from behind him. Shashii turned around. His father had finally arrived. Shashii couldn't help but smile, it had been a long time.



"Finally. I was going nuts." He said beaming at his father.



"Damn, you've really grown up. Soon you'll look as good as you're old man." Said Raddittzu smirking devilishly.



"Na, I'm going to look way better." Shashii quipped back with an equally evil grin.



"Okay let's get to the serious part of this get together. Schizophrenia?" Said Raddittzu sitting down at the chess table and gesturing for his son to do the same. Shashii turned to the window and gazed out at the stars. Raddittzu knew his son was just trying to find words and put his ideas together logically as he could.



Raddittzu waited silently for his son, he could wait for an eternity if needed for Shashii. For anyone else however, he had the universe's shortest attention span. It was the consequence of a Sayajin fatherhood. After all the only thing stronger was marriage.



"Okay." Said Shashii with a sigh. Raddittzu gave him his full attention. "I'm not too sure how to tell you about this. It all started on this really green planet, it was filled with plant and animals and blue water and sky. this inner me started yelling at me telling me how evil I was. I already knew that but what really was odd was his whole attitude. He just wanted to bury his nose in a book and be a neat freak.



"I couldn't stand him. All he could do was whine. I decimated the place to spite him and tried to shut him up. The more I did the more voices showed up. First the vicious one popped up, at first I liked him, and he helped me shut the whiner up. Then he helped me reach down and pull up greater power than I already had, that was great.



"Soon after he started going nuts, all he wanted was more power and to hurt everyone who crossed my path and make them suffer for nothing. It was wild at times he almost controlled me and I for got who I was.



"I buried him and a new set voices appeared, the wise guy and the fool. They confused the hell out of me and so I tried to get rid of them and so I got the know-it-all, who started to help me figure out the voices and how to help us all work together.



"He was also the one to figure out how to fuse and link personalities. We tried to become one. That really messed us all up. Now we all have a balance, sort of. I still have a majority of the control but they all have a say in everything." Shashii was pacing the floor now his tail was lashing about wildly. Growling, he looked at the pieces on the chess board. His father as usual was black. He pointed a finger and a pawn moved two spaces.



"New skill?" asked Raddittzu as he moved one of his pawns up one space. Shashii shrugged.



"Yeah, kind of showed up with the wise guy." Said Shashii again telekinetically moving another pawn. Raising an eyebrow Raddittzu moved his pawn to stop the last one Shashii moved.



"Interesting. Any other new skills?" Asked the father as his son moved the pawn that he had out one more space.



"Yeah. A few attacks, intuition, and this weird thing where I can tell you sento ryokos and where anyone is by following energies. It's very bizarre to feel your presence, but I can block it or if I'm not paying attention I don't feel anything." Said Shashii.



"Cool." Raddittzu said as Shashii moved another pawn out. The conversation drifted to talking about their tours of the past few years, friends, rumors and news. Raddittzu won the game after Shashii made one stupid move and decided to go to sleep.







"Raddittzu. Let me have my son back." Demanded Goku. Behind him was a tall green man in purple-red clothes and white turban and cape. Raddittzu shook his head.



"Sorry little brother, if I can't have you I'll help him become what he was meant to be. He'll grow up to be a real Sayajin. Our father is lucky he doesn't have to see you like this Kakorrotto." Said Raddittzu trying to hide all emotion from his brother and ally.



"Son, let's just get this over with." Said the green one gruffly. The two obviously were uncomfortable working together and the green one seemed to want to kill Goku. Raddittzu was confused by this, why wasn't his little brother more worried about that and why wasn't he with friends? He had them, Raddittzu had seen some on that pitiful island and could tell there were others. Maybe that bump to the head caused more than amnesia.



"Yeah, okay let's go!" Goku and the green one charged at Raddittzu who quickly countered their moves. He could tell it would be a hellish fight.



Raddittzu found himself struggling to keep up at first but then he saw it. They both used the same style and the style had holes, not obvious ones but he found them. Smirking he struck. Soon Piccolo, at least that's what Goku called him, lost use of his left arm and his little brother's ribs were in shatters. Raddittzu stood in a pose and waited for the next move.



Finally he heard them wrap up the conversation. "Got it Piccolo?" asked Goku in a not so quiet voice.



"You're insane Son, but yeah. Two birds with one stone." Said Piccolo with an evil look. He almost gave Raddittzu the chills. Goku however was oblivious to the malevolence in the other man. Smiling childishly he launched himself at his older brother. Raddittzu had a bad feeling but he had to give his brother all of his attention. Both had taken a lot of damage over the course of the battle and Raddittzu was weakened more than he would like to be.



Then he found himself in a full-nelson and staring at Piccolo, who was charging that damned Massanko Sappo Ha of his. His brother was going to commit fratricide and suicide at once! Raddittzu's eyes widened and he franticly tried to talk Goku out of it.



"Ma." Raddittzu's mind dug for an escape route. Goku's hold tightened.



"Sanko." A light bulb went off in the Sayajin's mind.



"Sap." Raddittzu moved his feet so they dug into the ground behind Goku's



"Po." Raddittzu ducked down flipping Goku into the air.



"Ha!!!" The beam cut through the air at light speed. Goku was midair in its path. Piccolo cried out as it cut through only one of its intended victims. Raddittzu cursed as he realized what had happened. He wasn't fast enough.



Goku landed with a thud on the grass, the hole went through his spine, lungs and the left side if his heart. He died within an instant. Raddittzu felt sick, he mentally cursed at himself and took out his blind fury on Piccolo. Soon he knocked out the green man and came to his senses.



Running to his space pod, he keyed in the code to open the hatch with his remote and lifted up the blacked out child and put him on his lap. Half panicked and not thinking he shut the hatch and set the course for his home base and turned on the cryogenic system. He passed out of consciousness and the pod left the atmosphere.



His pod landed and he awoke, luckily the child still slept. He checked in and took the boy to his barrack room. Tossing the child on the bed he took off all vestiges of the boy's planet of origin and incinerated them quickly. He then ran out and returned with a syringe of a clear liquid with a reflective property and green leggings and a shirt that looked to be the boy's size.



Sighing he inserted the syringe into the boy's neck and pushed the plunger down. The boy convulsed and then seemed to slip into a deeper sleep. Raddittzu felt a pang of panic, but calmed down as he recalled that that was supposed to happen. He watched the boy sleep and wondered to himself about the boy. What was his name, he couldn't recall what Goku had called him. He was strong in potential and seemed to be every bit as Sayajin as Raddittzu was. He dressed the child carefully as if the boy would shatter into dust.



The boy awoke in Raddittzu's arms. "Umm. so warm. good." Muttered the child contentedly. "Are you my daddy?" asked the boy. His intelligent eyes filled with innocent wonder and love. Raddittzu gulped. should he, could he say yes? Instantly something clicked and he knew it.



"Yes I am. Shashii, don't you remember me?" asked Raddittzu with some concern.



"No but I'll try real hard. Okay?" the boy smiled determinedly at his 'Father'. Raddittzu smiled and shook his head.



"I'm proud of you for wanting to, but don't worry about it. We'll start over, fresh page." Said Raddittzu. The boy smile grew and he hugged Raddittzu who hugged back. Both stomachs let out massive rumbles and they laughed. "Okay Shashii, let's get some food." The boy jumped up pumping his fist in the air.



"Yeah! Let's go!" Raddittzu grinned and put Shashii on his shoulder and they left.





Okay, so you know the truth. Shashii is Goku's son in reality or as we know him Gohan. Well, what do you think? I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, Raddittzu might tell his son something . And what about that semi- schizophrenia is going to cause trouble too.



Read some Gohan torture fictions and I'll see you later folks!
