The news of Goten's condition shocked everyone, many of the Z-fighters
came, hoping to be of service. Goku waited outside for the last one to
come, he had a plan. Yamcha, Tien, Chaitzou, Gohan and Trunks stood outside
waiting, finally the last man arrived.
"Dad, better late then never." Trunks said as Vegeta landed outside the Son household.
"Well Kakerot, what is the meaning of this joyous family reunion?" Vegeta asked Goku.
"As you all probably know, Goten is really sick and apparently there is a slim to none chance of getting him medicine. But we have to look, some has to exist but nobody knows where." Goku began.
"Where do we come in?" Tien cut in.
"We need to do a global search, we have to find at least some medicine for him."
"Wait a minute, is this some sort of game Kakerot, are you treating your son's health like a joke?"
"No, this is no joke, I'm serious!" Goku yelled but lowered his voice to not wake Goten. "Goten could die and the Dragon Balls can't wish a dead person back to life if he died of an illness. I don't want to loose him Vegeta, I know you'd do the same for Trunks."
Vegeta was quiet, he looked down at Trunks who looked up at him saddly, "Please dad, Goten's my best friend."
"Alright, I'll help. What do we have to do?" Vegeta looked back up at Goku.
"I have this all planned out. Vegeta, you're going to do a search of Asia and Europe."
"All by myself?" Vegeta was shocked at Goku's assumptions.
"I can help too dad." Trunks tugged on his Vegeta's pants. He looked down at the eager boy, his answer was hesitant, but he nodded his head. Trunks smiled.
"Tien, you and Chaitzou will cover Africa and Australia."
"Piece of cake." Tien cracked his knuckles.
"Yamcha, you're taking South America. Gohan you take North America."
"Does that include Canada?" Gohan asked.
"Yea."
"So does that mean I can drink beer?" "No, you have to be 19 in that country."
"Aw.." Gohan sighed.
"Hey, better luck next time kid." Yamcha laughed as he patted his back.
"Ok, now there's no time to loose. If you find the medicine, contact the rest and they'll all go to where you are. Then when you're all together, you come here. Got it?"
"Right." Everyone nodded.
"I'm going to stay here, Chi-Chi is an emotional wreck, and I don't feel right about leaving her and Goten."
"Don't worry dad, we understand." Gohan smiled.
"Thanks, I knew you would."
"Alright everyone, we haven't a moment to spare." Chaitzou spoke up.
"Let's move!" Trunks raised a fist into the air and they all bolted off in different directions. Goku watched for a few seconds before they went out of sight.
"Good luck guys." He said to himself. "Good luck."
The search went on for days, weeks, a month, at home, Goku, Chi-Chi and Goten remained worried, Goten wasn't getting any better. Suddenly, after about six weeks, a message shot through Goku's head. It was from Vegeta.
"Kakerot, Trunks and I found the medicine, it's a crate of it, it's the only supply on the planet."
"Great, bring it, all of it. Where did you find it?"
"In Alaska."
"But that's in North American isn't it?"
"Yes, and you pass the geography test Kakerot."
"But that was Gohan's territory."
"Well Trunks and I work quicker and were able to search Asia and Europe first."
"Either way, I'm glad you were able to find it. Contact the others."
"I already have."
"Great, I'll tell everyone here." Goku opened his eyes and noticed Chi-Chi and Goten looking at him. Chi-Chi was sitting down on the bed and Goten was wrapped up in the quilt. Goku smiled and the two looked strangely at him. "They found it."
"Really?" Chi-Chi nearly jumped.
"Yea." Goku nodded. "They'll be here soon, they're in Alaska."
"Did you hear that Goten, you're gonna be ok now!" Chi-Chi hugged him.
"Yay." Goten smiled weakly, he was still in very bad shape and getting worse slowly.
Back in Alaska.
"You guys did nothing, it was all my doing." Vegeta was boasting.
"Hey dad, I helped too." Trunks pouted.
"You only slowed me down." Vegeta growled, Trunks frowned and took a step back.
"Vegeta, calm down." Tien cut in.
"Yea, all that matters is one of us found the medicine." Yamcha agreed.
"And now Goten will get all better." Chaitzou agreed.
"Well I was the one who found it, I get full credit." Vegeta folded his arms.
"We helped too." Yamcha growled, taking a step forward. Vegeta growled but a sound made them all turn to the sky.
"Well it's about time." Vegeta put his hands on his hips as Gohan landed. "What took you?"
"Sorry guys. Long story." Gohan blushed, embarrassed, and rubbed behind his head.
"It doesn't matter, what does is that we're all here, we got the medicine.." Yamcha began.
"I got the medicine." Vegeta emphasized.
"Yo, Vegeta, what's wrong?" Gohan noticed his anger.
"I get the credit, I'm the hero." Vegeta held the crate. "Look, we all did it together." Gohan went to grab the crate.
"No." Vegeta pulled it close. "You did nothing, literally!"
"Hu?" Gohan drew back.
"I found this medicine here in Alaska, and in case you haven't noticed, Alaska is in America. It's above Canada yes, but no less." Vegeta snapped at him sharply.
"Without us you would've had to search the whole world." Gohan spoke back up. "Now give it here." He reached for it but Vegeta didn't give it to him. "He's my brother."
"But I found it, I get credit!" Vegeta growled.
"Man, this is getting tense." Yamcha whispered to Tien and Chaitzou.
"Dad, calm down." Trunks walked over but Vegeta turned sharply and made him fall in the snow. Everyone was shocked, Vegeta had gone postal.
"Vegeta, what's wrong?" Tien asked. Gohan walked towards Vegeta again, he shot a blast at him but Gohan dodged. "Vegeta stop it!" Tien cried. Gohan began to walk again but this time Vegeta's blast hit him, he cried out and held his left shoulder. "Vegeta!"
"He's just trying to help." Trunks begged his dad to cool his head.
"Come on Vegeta, let's go home." Gohan tried to walk over once more. This time Vegeta dropped the crate and tackled Gohan, he hit his back against a rock by a ledge of the canyon and the snow fell on him. Vegeta smirked and picked the crate back up.
"Now what was that for?" Yamcha growled.
"Gohan, are you ok?" Tien asked.
"Yea." Gohan said as he slowly dug himself out of the snow. Vegeta growled as Gohan turned to him again. "What does it matter who found the medicine, we found it, so let's go home, this isn't about you and me Vegeta, it's about saving Goten, my little brother."
"Yea dad, and my best friend." Trunks chimed in.
"Fine, you want it so bad, take it!" Vegeta threw it on Gohan. The weight of the box surprised Gohan and he gasped. The snow gave way under him and he fell, but before he could fly out, he hit his head against a rock and went out cold as he fell down the cliff.
"Gohan!" Everyone cried but he was soon gone underneath the snow below.
"Dad, better late then never." Trunks said as Vegeta landed outside the Son household.
"Well Kakerot, what is the meaning of this joyous family reunion?" Vegeta asked Goku.
"As you all probably know, Goten is really sick and apparently there is a slim to none chance of getting him medicine. But we have to look, some has to exist but nobody knows where." Goku began.
