He knew how, he knew! But trying to get there was the problem. Vegeta stood beside Goku and looked at the demi-saiyan that was still sleeping. He looked at Goku and folded his arms.
" So that's your plan," Vegeta said with a gruff.
" Yep," Goku said standing in front of Gohan.
" It's not going to work."
" What do you mean?" Goku pouted. " Well I thought it was a good idea."
" How are going to get in his mind if he's not in his mind," Vegeta said leaning on the bedroom wall. " That brat has been sleeping for months ever since you came back and my guess is that he'll be sleeping forever. Why don't you just end his misery."
" End his misery," Goku questioned. " What do you mean by that?"
" Since that brat isn't going anywhere he might as well be dead."
" How could you say such a thing," Goku yelled. " He's breathing, he's eating, he's even digesting! I think he's trapped in his own thoughts, at least that's what he told me."
" I think your dreaming Kakkorot," Vegeta said leaving the room. " You should be the one lying on that bed, not him."
Goku watched Vegeta leave the room. Goku turned back to Gohan and placed two fingers on Gohan's forehead. Operation Save Gohan was in affect.
Goku tapped into Gohan's mind. He knew he was there because he was swimming and usually when he had those dreams, he would be swimming. He tried searching for the little yellow ball with Gohan in it but sadly he could find it. He looked both ways and even behind him but he could not find Gohan.
Whoosh!
A little yellow ball passed Goku and headed down into the dark. Goku didn't notice that dark place before but he swam down there. Gohan was in that little yellow ball and wherever Gohan went, Goku would follow. He wasn't surprised to see the ball crash into a crystal and in the crystal was.
/How can you see into my eyes like open doors? /
" Gohan," Goku exclaimed. There he was, eighteen-year-old Gohan trapped in what it seemed like a giant crystal. He stood there in the crystal and it looked as if water was in the crystal. He was asleep, nothing really new, but now Goku knew what Gohan meant when he said he was trapped and couldn't find himself. Gohan did finally find himself, he just needed to get out.
/ Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb. /
/With out a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold, until you find it there and lead it back home. /
' I have no other choice but to free him,' Goku thought cracking his knuckles. ' This won't take long. He'll be awake in no time.'
Goku aimed his punch in the center. He pulled back his arm and ready to punch. With a hard swing, Goku hit the crystal.
Crack!
" Ow ow ow ow ow," Goku cried pulling back his hand. He started to blow at his hand and he looked at the crystal. " Not even a crack, ow. I guess that cracking sound was my hand. But man that hurt!"
[Wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
Goku stared hard at the crystal. Maybe a nice energy blast would break it open. Goku formed a small energy ball and shot it at the crystal. It reflected off.
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become
Vegeta stood near the doorway and watch Goku carefully. His eyes were twitching so that must mean he found Gohan.
' What a waste of time,' Vegeta thought. ' That brat will never wake up. It's almost like he soulless.'
Vegeta froze.
/Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me. /
/Breathe into me {and make me real}
/Bring me to life/
Goku kept on punching the crystal his son was in and he had to set him free. Somehow Gohan trapped himself inside himself and can't break free from himself. Goku knew there was a way to break the crystal but breaking it was the problem.
[Wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
Chi-Chi stood near the doorway with Vegeta. She already knew what Goku was doing and she helped support him, at least in thought.
' C'mon Goku,' Chi-Chi thought. ' Wake our son up!'
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become
Goku punched harder every time. His energy blasts were pack with a lot of power. But with every attack he made it looked as if the crystal was absorbing it. It was deflecting the energy blasts but then it seemed as if it was absorbing the attacks. Did Gohan want to be free?
{Bring me to life}
[I've been living a lie.There's nothing inside]
{Bring me to life}
" This is not working," Goku shouted. " I can't break this thing but I have to get Gohan out! Gohan, if you can hear me then LET ME BREAK THROUGH!"
/Frozen inside without your touch without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead. /
So Goku punched, his family stood there, he was frustrated, his family and friends supported him. Gohan was still in the crystal as if mocking Goku and his weak attempts.
" Gohan," Goku shouted.
[All of this I, I can't believe I couldn't see
[Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me]
" C'mon Goku," Chi-chi said as she clasped her hands together. " I believe in you. I know you can wake Gohan up."
/I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything/
Gohan slept there in the crystal and slept there on his bed. He has been sleeping for seven years trapped inside his own body. His soul was placed inside the crystal while his mind was place a child in a bubble. They were both together, both trapped, and both asleep.
[Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul]
{Don't let me die here}(It must be something wrong)
Goku yelled and pulled back his hand.
/Bring/
He used his soul for his power.
/Me/
He aimed carefully in the center again.
/To/
And he punched the crystal.
/Life/
The crystal cracked.
[Wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
Goku couldn't believe it. The crystal he had been punching at for hours, it seemed, finally had an itty-bitty crack in it?
' If using my soul to free Gohan's' Goku thought. ' Then Gohan can awake again! All right! Don't worry Gohan, you'll be free soon!"
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become
The crystal was now having more cracks and looked almost destroyed. Goku knew with a few good punches the crystal will be destroyed. With a huge smirk on his face, Goku continued to punch in attempt to free his son.
/Bring me to life/
[I've been living a lie.There's nothing inside]
Goku aimed once again in the center and put all of his soul in the punch. With a good swing, the crystal shattered.
/Bring me to life/
Will Gohan awake?
He knew how, he knew! But trying to get there was the problem. Vegeta stood beside Goku and looked at the demi-saiyan that was still sleeping. He looked at Goku and folded his arms.
