Ever since he was very young Neo had had trouble controlling his
temper. When Neo lost his temper bad things happened like; when Neo was in
kinder garden he lost his temper when the teacher scolded him and a
immensely strong wind kicked up out of nowhere and blew her out the window.
Another problem was the Neo never felt quite "at home" with his family in
that he just didn't feel like he belonged. For most of Neo's life he had
been home schooled because of the incident in kinder garden, but lately his
mom had been getting ideas that it might be time to try Neo in high school.
But other than that Neo had a fairly normal life.
Neo's eyes opened wearily and he looked at the ceiling, it was still dark so it wasn't yet morning but Neo couldn't sleep he couldn't for a while now or when he did it was restless. Neo sat up in bed, pushing the blankets gently away, a sigh escaping his lips. He moved so his legs were hanging off of the bed, Neo stood and strode over to the desk in the back right corner of his room, his body shivering in the cool night air. Neo reached the desk and started groping for the power button of the desk light that was somewhere on his desk. It wasn't to long before he found it and a soft light filled the room. Neo gazed into the reflective surface of the mirror and a tallish muscular boy stood there looking back the boys brilliantly green eyes seemed to be dulled by the obvious weariness in the boys face and stance, his black hair was disheveled probably by the restless sleep in his bed.
Neo ran his fingers through his hair wondering vaguely about the next day. Neo smiled 'well' he thought to himself 'if I have to go to school tomorrow then I would probably be better off in my bed' Neo flicked the light off and returned to his restless sleep. But far above Neo's house a single star twinkled just a bit brighter then the other for a couple of seconds.
In the world of DBZ
"I still don't see why WE have to go through with this" growled Vageta for the fifth time "after all he is YOUR son" Goku looked back at Vageta whom was standing with his arms crossed across his chest. He was leaning agents the wall of a chamber that Bulma had made fifteen years ago to protect Goku's youngest son from the darkness named Ch^en, it only looked like a simple door built into the wall with a round window in it. But now the darkness as gone and it was safe for Goku's son to come home. Fifteen years ago Goku had made the difficult decision to let his son go and was now ecstatic about his return. "Vegeta, you know that I can't go alone, we need three to make the return trip!" said Goku for the fifth time. Vegeta huffed and turn on the machine by pressing a small hidden button on the wall next to the door. The machine emitted a soft whirring sound and the round window filled with a soft red glow. Goku stood allowing the memories to seep back in he could remember the day like it had just happened a few hours ago.
"Chi chi, it's for the best we cant protect him from this we have to let him go" Goku said trying to calm Chi chi a hollowness filled his voice
"No!" Chi chi screamed like he was tearing her heart out. In the few days the neo and Chi chi had been together her mother-son band had grown incredibly so to that she was now almost inseparable from her. She lurched back and found that her back was to the wall. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to hide the child from view.
"Chi chi, please we have to let him go for a while when Ch^en is gone we can go and get him" Goku's body shook with rage at Ch^en, at all the pain that he had caused this world and his own powerlessness to stop him. How could Ch^en live with him self causing pain to his and countless other families the would never see there father again. But Goku knew that he had to remain in control of his temper. After a while Chi chi gave up the child but only under the circumstances that he returned as soon as Ch^en was gone. So Goku took the child and brought him to capsule corps. With Chi chi, Gohan and Goten in tow Vegeta, and Chibi Trunks were there to meet them and for the first time since Goku new him Vegeta almost looked sympathetic. Goku had simply walked in, following Bulma to the plane shift room; the window was already glowing.
Goten and Gohan said their good byes first each of them taking it into their arms and talking with him as he burbled happily. Chi chi was next she took the longest, she cried a lot and didn't say much but finally surrendered him to Goku. Goku looked down at the giggling child whom under his gaze turned suddenly solemn. A look of curiosity cross its face before it gave Goku a hug it held onto him for a long time but finally Goku had to put the child down in front of the door and it started to cry every one left the room. From the out side Goku watched his son get swallowed by the swirling red mists and the babies cry's faded into the distance and suddenly the room was just as it had been only no child. Chi chi let out a howl like a dying wolf and she ran to the door. When she say it was empty she fainted and landed on the floor with a humph.
Just thinking about that day still brought tears to Goku's eyes but he shook the sadness from his mind and stay with the idea that he was finally getting his son back. Goku looked at Vegeta whom was standing next to the switch waiting for Goku to stop reminiscing. Goku nodded the go-a-head and waited the red light flared as the door opened and Goku was sucked into the door.
Pain like Goku had never felt, it felt like his body was being torn apart by the mists and he was freezing yet was hot then the mists started to twirl him around. Faster and faster he went until Goku had to close his eyes from the brilliant red light, and suddenly it stopped and he landed on something softer that rock.
"Get off me Kakarot!" yelled a none to amused Vegeta. Vegeta pushed Goku off him roughly and stood dusting off his pants. Goku also stood up but he could have cared less about his clothing, he was scanning for Neo's Ki signature. It took a while but Goku finally read it in a city area with lots of people around him to the west.
Back to Neo
Neo woke the next morning to find that the rest of the night had been as restless as the previous portion. But never the less he got up with a load groan and got dressed into his blue jeans, boots and a black tank top. He went down the rather dull stair well lined with pictures of his relatives and entered the kitchen. It wasn't an overly huge room but it had the essentials stove, fridge, counter and tabletop. On the counter Neo noticed a plate full of toast covered with plastic wrap and a neon green sticky note attached. It read
Hey honey, Your dad and I had to go to work but we want you to get on the school bus at 8:30 See ya tonight! ~ mom + dad
Neo set the note back down and hefted the enormous plate of toast to the table and went at it like he hadn't eaten in days. But the truth was Neo had always had a gargantuan appetite that no matter how much his mom gave him always had room for more. Soon the toast was gone and his stomach appeased, Neo leaned back in his chair. Neo slowly glanced at the clock and was horrified that it read 8:28 his eyes widened and he was out of his chair and out the door in a couple of seconds. Neo dashed down the road strait into two rather strong looking men he ran into the shorter one and bounced of him. Neo landed with a load thump on the sidewalk. Neo stood, rubbing his butt, and grimacing. He wanted to talk to the two rude people but he remembered very well the time he had before he missed the bus and he ran, he dodged the two men and continued on to find the bus about to leave.
"Wait!" he yelled just before the doors closed a couple of faces looked curiously out the window to see who was late. Finally, Neo reached the bus just before the driver closed the door. Neo leapt through the door and almost tackled the driver. Giggles ran through the bus.
"Sorry!" said a panicking Neo. The bus driver just chuckled.
"Never seen anyone so excited about school." He said under his breath, a grin playing across his face. Neo smiled nervously and looked around, he spotted an empty seat between two girls one of them had black hair and green eyes, the other had a sour look about her. Her eyes were blue and she had long blonde hair, possibly it was her pointed nose that gave her an unpleasant air. He took the seat between them the fair hair girl ignored him but the dark hared on turned round in her seat to talk with him.
"Hi, who are you." Neo was speechless he had never really had a one on one conversation with a girl his age before, she smiled sweetly.
"Neo" he finally stuttered. "And yours?" that was a weak question and he knew it but she didn't seem to mind.
"I'm Melina but my friends call me Mel." She looked at Neo curiously "I haven't seen you around are you new here?" Neo blinked, confused then mentally slapped himself 'Of course she doesn't know you, ya fool! This is your first day!"
"I have lived here all of my life, its just that I was home schooled by my mother till now. Neo said offering his hand to shake. She shook it and then the fair hared girl finally spoke up.
"Why don't you just ask him out and save us from your conversation." She had momentarily looked up from what ever she had been doing, but, was ignoring Neo and Mel before ether could muster a reply. Neo leaned towards Mel.
"Is she always like that?" the question was no more than a whisper but Mel caught it and simply nodded. She looked out the window for a moment and smiled.
"I might talk with you later, Neo, but we have arrived" Neo looked out the window he had been have such a good time talking with Mel that he hadn't looked out, if he had then he would of noticed a large building approaching.
"It's been nice talking with you Mel." Said Neo turning to face the front of the bus once more. The school was a huge brick building with many windows but not much in the way of creativeness in its design. It had two floors and a green metal roof. In front of it there were many busses, it looked like his was one of the last to arrive. The bus drove up and stopped, out side, walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the school were other students, hundreds of them. Some of them were chatting, others just walking and still others were waiting for the door to open.
The bus door opened and the sounds of the street out side flooded in. "all out who's gettin' out" called the bus driver and most of the kids stood. The bus shook lightly as the mass of kid started to shuffle for the door most of them were mumbling about the classes that they had and complained about the teachers. One moaned about an algebra test he had right off the bat. The buss emptied slowly and Neo found himself somewhere near the door of the school. It opened and Neo was caught in the mumbling mass of kids hustling to get to their first class.
Once the kids had filtered into their classrooms Neo went on a search for the main office, it wasn't that hard to find. It was on the first floor and had a big sign out side of it declaring it the "main office". Neo went in and found two secretaries, both of them were blond, one of them had curly hair and looked a little to old for her job while. The other was younger and had her hair pulled back into a ponytail, she was quietly typing while the other was on the phone about a student. The younger secretary had a little card on her desk that had her name on it "Laura" it read. Neo walked nervously to the front of her desk.
"Uh, Miss Laura?" she looked up and smiled.
"Yes how can I help you." She said matter of factly, straightening some papers on her desk absentmindedly "and call me Laura."
"Well, uh, I am a new stu." Neo didn't get a chance to finish.
"Ah, yes, Neo, right?" she asked while retrieving a paper from her printer Neo nodded "here you are!" she exclaimed shoving a piece of paper at him. "That's your schedule for while you're here your home room is up the stairs by the way you came in, the first door on the left." She went back to her work.
"Thanks." Neo said but all he got was a grunt in reply. So Neo went back into the hall and started to walk back the way he had come when he found the door he saw the staircase that the Laura had been talking about. It was a steep case and had gray carpeting all the way up. Neo climbed the stair and saw another hall a lot like the one below except that its walls were a tanish yellow color. He walked to the first door on the left and walked in.
Goku and Vageta
Goku watched the boy go 'that boy looked really familiar' he thought just before he checked for his son, his eyes widened, his lost son had just ran into him and he didn't have the seance to sense for the boys Ki.
"Vageta?" Goku asked quietly. Vageta turned and growled.
"What Kakarot?" then Vageta noticed Goku staring after the boy. "Kakarot, you don't mean to tell me that your son ran into you and you didn't notice" Goku mearly nodded and Vageta slapped his forehead with his hand. "Kakarot you are such a fool!" he shouted in frustration.
"Well I didn't know it was him, if I did then I would have." but Vageta cut him off "would of could of should of never got any thing done, Kakarot, now lets find your brat and be gone from this ridiculous place!" Vageta snarled, with that Vageta launched him self into the air and started to follow the bus. Goku followed suit and soon they found them self's at a large building with tons of busses and kid milling around.
"Where is he Kakarot?" Vageta spat "there are too many brats down there to even count" Vageta looked at Goku and landed on the roof of the school" Goku landed as well but was still intent on watching the crowed for just a glimpse of Neo. Suddenly there as a loud high pitched ringing sound that made the two Sayian's ears ache. Then all of them started to shuffle towards the door. And soon there was no one in the parking lot. "Well at least their obedient!" said vageta with a smirk. Goku looked at the empty parking lot in dismay.
"How are we supposed to find him now?" Vageta slapped Goku on the back of the head "YOW! What was THAT for?" said Goku, rubbing his head with both hands.
"For again demonstrating the limits of stupidity. He is in this building, it's a school so all we have to do is go to the office and page him." (Vageta had been well trained in this because of his son Trunks. // (chuckles) just imagine Chibi Trunks in school (chuckle) but back to the fic \\) Goku had a blank look.
"Oh, really?" Vageta simply hopped of the side of the roof and walked in the door followed by an extremely excited Goku.
Back to Neo
Neo had only gone through one class and he had found that he really didn't like school, every one was loud, and he had the most horrible homeroom teacher. Kids only referred to him as the plague and the man lived up to him rep to say the least. Also, his history teacher was an idiot to put it lightly, he didn't even stay the whole class near the end he just up and left and soon after the class dissolved into a game of poker. But this Geometry class was the worst.
"Now class can any one give me the answer to this question?" Neo looked at the board it had a picture of a trapezoid and it was asking for the area. Neo knew how to solve it but thought that it might be better if he didn't show off. Suddenly the intercom crackled into life and Laura's voice rang over it.
"Will Neo please come to the office for early dismissal." Neo didn't quite know what was going on but was glad for a chance to skip this little bit of hell. Neo packed up his stuff and was out the door with a wave to the class and a mumbled apology to the teacher. He walked down the hall and down the stairs trying to imagine who could possibly have gotten dismissed. He walked into the office and there stood the two men he had run into, the shorter meaner looking one grunted and walked out the door. The bigger one looked ready to cry.
"ya? What do you want?" neo asked the bigger man.
"Don't ask questions! Just follow us!" the shorter man snarled over his shoulder. Neo didn't know why but he felt like he could trust the bigger man who looked strangely familiar, it was almost like meeting a very good, old half forgotten friend for the first time in a couple of years. So he followed the bigger guy.
As they were walking Neo took a better look at the two guys. The bigger guy wore all orange and a blue under shirt all of it was pretty baggy except the under shirt which was stretched over his chest. While the other wore clothes more suited to the environment he was in he had on jeans, a black tank top and a brown leather jacket. They walked out of the school grounds and then the shorter one stopped.
"Kakarot, now explain to him about us and his true home." He sat and appeared to fall asleep. The one called Kakarot turned to face Neo.
"I've been waiting for this day for years." Said Kakarot smiling kindly, Neo raised an eyebrow.
"What all this about "where I am really form"?" Neo asked, the short man had spiked his curiosity.
"Well you aren't exactly from around here, well you aren't even from this plain of existence" Neo's mouth dropped, another dimension? Was that even possible? Neo didn't know but he wasn't buying it.
"You expect me to buy that?" Neo frothed "where's your proof? Huh? And if I'm not from this plain then who are my parents, how could they just "let me go" like that?" Neo took a deep breath.
"Well Vageta" Kakarot motioned to the short guy " has all the proof you could want" Vageta growled and push a button concealed in his jacket and a red vortex opened as large as a good-sized door next to them. Neo just about shat himself. "And about your parents, well, hi son!" Neo took a few steps back
"You couldn't be, you just couldn't" neo said franticly "I live here I belong here." Goku smiled warmly and suddenly it hit neo // ouch \\ he knew where he had seen Kakarot before he looked at him every morning in the mirror, Neo and Goku looked so alike that it could only be heredity. Neo fell to his knees and pounded the ground. "Why?" he asked suddenly and quietly.
"we had no choice, if you had stayed with us you would not have lived." Neo wasn't really listening as Goku had been talking some memories had began to return to Neo
(Flash back no. 1)
"We'll call him Neo" it was a young woman; she had black hair tied back in a bun. Kakarot was there; sitting in a chair also there was a younger man who looked disturbingly like Goku.
"What do you want with my son?!" Kakarot yelled, the scenery had changed now he was out side and it was raining, hard and creature floated in front of Kakarot.
"Your son is destined to destroy me and so other prime evils in the universe, I can not allow this to happen." The creature grinned. "Now if you would please hand over your son I will not have too destroy you."
"Well if you want my son then you will have to go through me!" Kakarot yelled. The other man floated up t level with Kakarot.
"And me!" he yelled. Four others also rose to the occasion. "Get No out of here dad!" yelled the young man. And Kakarot flew.
"We managed to lead him away father, but he is coming back, if we're going to send him, it needs to be now." The same young man said but again the scenery was different this time they were inside, and the young man looked beat up the others were also there.
The next memory was all red mists and pain.
(End flashback)
Neo looked up at Kakarot; he looked a little scared. "And I can go home now?" asked neo. Kakarot's eyes lit up as he nodded. Vageta stood.
"Good now lets get out of this plane!" he crossed his arms over his chest. Kakarot looked at me.
"Are you ready?" he asked. Neo nodded.
"Finally, now we all have to go through the gate at the same time or we will get separated and all got to different planes." Explained Vageta as he grabbed hold of Neo's right hand while Goku took his left the trio jump through the portal. Neo found his memory to be very accurate about the pain; it was the most intense thing that he had ever felt. But it was gone as soon as it came and when Neo opened his eyes again he was looking at the same room that had been in his memory. Everyone was there from his memory. The woman was on him in a second.
"Are you ok? Did they feed you enough?" she suddenly looked angry "I don't suppose that they bothered about your education." Everyone moaned "your home, yay! yay! WHOOHOO!" she hugged him hard and finally let him go and he met the young man who had helped in his retreat.
"Hi I'm Gohan one of your older brothers, it good to see that you're ok." He smiled "it was one of the hardest things dad ever had to do."
"You mean Kakarot right?" Gohan's brow furrowed and he smiled.
"You let Vageta get to you, he is the only one who ever calls our dad Kakarot, every one else calls him Goku." Gohan said. Neo looked at Goku, his father. Silence Neo was very young he had know that he had been different from the rest of his family, it had been really difficult, he had felt like he could talk to no one. He had often imagined that a long lot relative, just like him would show up and take him away, and now that it had happened he still wasn't sure that it was real. It all looked real, Neo pinched himself and found that it wasn't a dream after all, this was very real. And then Neo realized something, he was happier than he had been for a very long time. And Neo realized what had been missing his whole life, for the first time he felt like he really had a family and even if it was only a dream he was gonna live it to its fullest.
Neo's eyes opened wearily and he looked at the ceiling, it was still dark so it wasn't yet morning but Neo couldn't sleep he couldn't for a while now or when he did it was restless. Neo sat up in bed, pushing the blankets gently away, a sigh escaping his lips. He moved so his legs were hanging off of the bed, Neo stood and strode over to the desk in the back right corner of his room, his body shivering in the cool night air. Neo reached the desk and started groping for the power button of the desk light that was somewhere on his desk. It wasn't to long before he found it and a soft light filled the room. Neo gazed into the reflective surface of the mirror and a tallish muscular boy stood there looking back the boys brilliantly green eyes seemed to be dulled by the obvious weariness in the boys face and stance, his black hair was disheveled probably by the restless sleep in his bed.
Neo ran his fingers through his hair wondering vaguely about the next day. Neo smiled 'well' he thought to himself 'if I have to go to school tomorrow then I would probably be better off in my bed' Neo flicked the light off and returned to his restless sleep. But far above Neo's house a single star twinkled just a bit brighter then the other for a couple of seconds.

"I still don't see why WE have to go through with this" growled Vageta for the fifth time "after all he is YOUR son" Goku looked back at Vageta whom was standing with his arms crossed across his chest.

Neo set the note back down and hefted the enormous plate of toast to the table and went at it like he hadn't eaten in days. But the truth was Neo had always had a gargantuan appetite that no matter how much his mom gave him always had room for more.

"Ah, yes, Neo, right?" she asked while retrieving a paper from her printer Neo nodded "here you are!" she exclaimed shoving a piece of paper at him. "That's your schedule for while you're here your home room is up the stairs by the way you came in, the first door on the left." She went back to her work.

Goku and Vageta
Goku watched the boy go 'that boy looked really familiar' he thought just before he checked for his son, his eyes widened, his lost son had just ran into him and he didn't have the seance to sense for the boys Ki.
"Vageta?" Goku asked quietly. Vageta turned and growled.
"What Kakarot?" then Vageta noticed Goku staring after the boy. "Kakarot, you don't mean to tell me that your son ran into you and you didn't notice" Goku mearly nodded and Vageta slapped his forehead with his hand. "Kakarot you are such a fool!" he shouted in frustration.
"Well I didn't know it was him, if I did then I would have." but Vageta cut him off "would of could of should of never got any thing done, Kakarot, now lets find your brat and be gone from this ridiculous place!" Vageta snarled, with that Vageta launched him self into the air and started to follow the bus. Goku followed suit and soon they found them self's at a large building with tons of busses and kid milling around.
"Where is he Kakarot?" Vageta spat "there are too many brats down there to even count" Vageta looked at Goku and landed on the roof of the school" Goku landed as well but was still intent on watching the crowed for just a glimpse of Neo. Suddenly there as a loud high pitched ringing sound that made the two Sayian's ears ache. Then all of them started to shuffle towards the door. And soon there was no one in the parking lot. "Well at least their obedient!" said vageta with a smirk. Goku looked at the empty parking lot in dismay.
"How are we supposed to find him now?" Vageta slapped Goku on the back of the head "YOW! What was THAT for?" said Goku, rubbing his head with both hands.
"For again demonstrating the limits of stupidity. He is in this building, it's a school so all we have to do is go to the office and page him." (Vageta had been well trained in this because of his son Trunks. // (chuckles) just imagine Chibi Trunks in school (chuckle) but back to the fic \\) Goku had a blank look.
"Oh, really?" Vageta simply hopped of the side of the roof and walked in the door followed by an extremely excited Goku.
Back to Neo
Neo had only gone through one class and he had found that he really didn't like school, every one was loud, and he had the most horrible homeroom teacher. Kids only referred to him as the plague and the man lived up to him rep to say the least. Also, his history teacher was an idiot to put it lightly, he didn't even stay the whole class near the end he just up and left and soon after the class dissolved into a game of poker. But this Geometry class was the worst.
"Now class can any one give me the answer to this question?" Neo looked at the board it had a picture of a trapezoid and it was asking for the area. Neo knew how to solve it but thought that it might be better if he didn't show off. Suddenly the intercom crackled into life and Laura's voice rang over it.
"Will Neo please come to the office for early dismissal." Neo didn't quite know what was going on but was glad for a chance to skip this little bit of hell. Neo packed up his stuff and was out the door with a wave to the class and a mumbled apology to the teacher. He walked down the hall and down the stairs trying to imagine who could possibly have gotten dismissed. He walked into the office and there stood the two men he had run into, the shorter meaner looking one grunted and walked out the door. The bigger one looked ready to cry.
"ya? What do you want?" neo asked the bigger man.
"Don't ask questions! Just follow us!" the shorter man snarled over his shoulder. Neo didn't know why but he felt like he could trust the bigger man who looked strangely familiar, it was almost like meeting a very good, old half forgotten friend for the first time in a couple of years. So he followed the bigger guy.
As they were walking Neo took a better look at the two guys. The bigger guy wore all orange and a blue under shirt all of it was pretty baggy except the under shirt which was stretched over his chest. While the other wore clothes more suited to the environment he was in he had on jeans, a black tank top and a brown leather jacket. They walked out of the school grounds and then the shorter one stopped.
"Kakarot, now explain to him about us and his true home." He sat and appeared to fall asleep. The one called Kakarot turned to face Neo.
"I've been waiting for this day for years." Said Kakarot smiling kindly, Neo raised an eyebrow.
"What all this about "where I am really form"?" Neo asked, the short man had spiked his curiosity.
"Well you aren't exactly from around here, well you aren't even from this plain of existence" Neo's mouth dropped, another dimension? Was that even possible? Neo didn't know but he wasn't buying it.
"You expect me to buy that?" Neo frothed "where's your proof? Huh? And if I'm not from this plain then who are my parents, how could they just "let me go" like that?" Neo took a deep breath.
"Well Vageta" Kakarot motioned to the short guy " has all the proof you could want" Vageta growled and push a button concealed in his jacket and a red vortex opened as large as a good-sized door next to them. Neo just about shat himself. "And about your parents, well, hi son!" Neo took a few steps back
"You couldn't be, you just couldn't" neo said franticly "I live here I belong here." Goku smiled warmly and suddenly it hit neo // ouch \\ he knew where he had seen Kakarot before he looked at him every morning in the mirror, Neo and Goku looked so alike that it could only be heredity. Neo fell to his knees and pounded the ground. "Why?" he asked suddenly and quietly.
"we had no choice, if you had stayed with us you would not have lived." Neo wasn't really listening as Goku had been talking some memories had began to return to Neo
(Flash back no. 1)
"We'll call him Neo" it was a young woman; she had black hair tied back in a bun. Kakarot was there; sitting in a chair also there was a younger man who looked disturbingly like Goku.
"What do you want with my son?!" Kakarot yelled, the scenery had changed now he was out side and it was raining, hard and creature floated in front of Kakarot.
"Your son is destined to destroy me and so other prime evils in the universe, I can not allow this to happen." The creature grinned. "Now if you would please hand over your son I will not have too destroy you."
"Well if you want my son then you will have to go through me!" Kakarot yelled. The other man floated up t level with Kakarot.
"And me!" he yelled. Four others also rose to the occasion. "Get No out of here dad!" yelled the young man. And Kakarot flew.
"We managed to lead him away father, but he is coming back, if we're going to send him, it needs to be now." The same young man said but again the scenery was different this time they were inside, and the young man looked beat up the others were also there.
The next memory was all red mists and pain.
(End flashback)
Neo looked up at Kakarot; he looked a little scared. "And I can go home now?" asked neo. Kakarot's eyes lit up as he nodded. Vageta stood.
"Good now lets get out of this plane!" he crossed his arms over his chest. Kakarot looked at me.
"Are you ready?" he asked. Neo nodded.
"Finally, now we all have to go through the gate at the same time or we will get separated and all got to different planes." Explained Vageta as he grabbed hold of Neo's right hand while Goku took his left the trio jump through the portal. Neo found his memory to be very accurate about the pain; it was the most intense thing that he had ever felt. But it was gone as soon as it came and when Neo opened his eyes again he was looking at the same room that had been in his memory. Everyone was there from his memory. The woman was on him in a second.
"Are you ok? Did they feed you enough?" she suddenly looked angry "I don't suppose that they bothered about your education." Everyone moaned "your home, yay! yay! WHOOHOO!" she hugged him hard and finally let him go and he met the young man who had helped in his retreat.
"Hi I'm Gohan one of your older brothers, it good to see that you're ok." He smiled "it was one of the hardest things dad ever had to do."
"You mean Kakarot right?" Gohan's brow furrowed and he smiled.
"You let Vageta get to you, he is the only one who ever calls our dad Kakarot, every one else calls him Goku." Gohan said. Neo looked at Goku, his father. Silence Neo was very young he had know that he had been different from the rest of his family, it had been really difficult, he had felt like he could talk to no one. He had often imagined that a long lot relative, just like him would show up and take him away, and now that it had happened he still wasn't sure that it was real. It all looked real, Neo pinched himself and found that it wasn't a dream after all, this was very real. And then Neo realized something, he was happier than he had been for a very long time. And Neo realized what had been missing his whole life, for the first time he felt like he really had a family and even if it was only a dream he was gonna live it to its fullest.
