When the Dove Cries

Chapter Five- Enter Gojun

Vegeta had told Gojun how to raise her power levels, and then told her to go home and practice. In exactly one week, she was to return and prove what she had done.

The day that Gojun was due to come, Vegeta sat in the living room, in thought. He suddenly felt an extremely powerful Ki flying towards him.

'Kakarott?' He thought. 'Why in Kami's name is Kakarott coming over here?'

He got up to walk out to tell Kakarott to leave, that he would be busy soon.. His mouth dropped open when he saw Gojun landing a few feet away. He whirled around, sensing for Kakarott's Ki, but only felt Gojun's. How could her Ki have gotten so strong in but one week? It dawned on him. Perhaps since her Saiyan abilities have been dormant this whole time, they were easily awoken.

Gojun ran up and grabbed Vegeta's muscled arm. "I wanna show you a new move I learned!"

Vegeta allowed himself to be dragged across the yard by this 16 year old girl. Gojun made him stand in place, and then she walked about 20 or 25 feet away from him.

"Okay, you ready for this?" She said as she crossed her arms over her head.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Vegeta said with a smirk.

Gojun started to concentrate, and brought her hands in front of her face, crossed. "TWIN BEAM ATTACK!"

Vegeta raised a brow. 'She even named it?'

All at once, she thrust her arms straight forward, and two huge beams shot out from them, each the size of a Kamehameha Wave attack. They spun rapidly, and then twirled around each other, and joined, forming an even huger attack beam.

Vegeta's mouth dropped open. Each of the beams before had had the power of a Chou Kamehameha Wave attack! Combined, they were almost unstoppable! His left eye twitched, and then he held his breath as it barely grazed his spandex suit. He looked at Gojun, who didn't appear to be out of energy at all.

Gojun jumped up and down. "I did it! Was that good?"

Vegeta's left eye continued to twitch, but he regained his composure. "I. Well." He cleared his throat. "It was.nice. But, your aim needs serious help."

Gojun looked down, clearly upset. "Oh." She cleared her throat. "I've been sparring with Gohan and Goten. I think I'm getting better. Wanna spar?" She looked up, a gleam in her eye.

He smirked. "Very well. I won't take it easy on you."

She grinned and crouched down. "I'm hardly afraid."

He smirked again and shook his head. 'She sounds almost like me.' He thought.

Gojun clasped her hands and bowed. "Let us begin."

Vegeta nodded, but did not bow. He began to power up, and by the look on Gojun's face, apparently she had learned to sense Ki. He shook his head slightly, and he smirked. "Let's go princess."

A look of mixed emotions appeared on Gojun's face, as if she was upset and confused at the same time. "How. how. How dare you!" She replied, apparently her former royal self getting the best of her. She looked away, but then turned back, and a look of determined anger was on her face. She flew at Vegeta with great speed, and she punched at him, but he blocked her. The instant she punched, her leg thrust out and she kicked him. He blocked this as well with his knee.

"C'mon girl! Fight better! No student of mine will be a failure." He delivered a somewhat gentle punch to her stomach, and Gojun immediately doubled over, and she closed her eyes in pain. "Oh, Kami! I didn't even punch you that hard." He walked over to her, and she suddenly shot up, and punched him in the side of his face.

"Never drop your guard. That was what I learned on my old planet." She said, a sneer appearing on her face.

Vegeta held his right cheek. 'Geeze, that's girls got some power.' He rubbed his cheek, and spat. "You wanna fight me? Let's go then. No more playing around." He flew at her, and she met him with her arms crossed over her head to protect herself. Vegeta spun around, and his right leg connected with her gut. Her eyes went wide, but she rolled on the ground and jumped back up, and then disappeared. Vegeta whirled around.

"Hi!" Gojun smiled before she punched him directly in the face.

He flew backwards, slamming into a tree. He sat there, his eyes wide open. 'How can a half blood, nevertheless a GIRL be beating me? That's it. I'm not taking this lightly anymore. She needs to be put into her place.' He jumped up, and he clenched his fists as he powered up.

Gojun, following suite, powered up as well, and pulled her power levels equal to that of Vegeta's.

Vegeta gasped in amazement. She was almost surpassing him! He closed his eyes and yelled as his body became more muscled as he exploded into Super Saiyan.

Gojun stared as his hair became golden spiked, just as Gohan and Goten's had when they battled. She shook her head and pulled her power levels up higher. They now matched that of Vegeta's, but she wasn't going Super Saiyan! Her brow furrowed in confusion.

Vegeta was also getting that same level of confusion. Her power level was clearly on the same as his, but yet she hadn't gone Super Saiyan. Vegeta smirked. Now was the time. He flew at her so fast she couldn't see it coming. He dove, and punched her in the jaw. She screamed, and before she could do anything, he kicked her in the gut. She doubled over, and Vegeta clasped his hands together and slammed her in the back. She screamed again, and fell to the ground. Vegeta turned around, and watched, making sure no one was watching them. A bead of sweat trickled down his face. She had certainly given him a challenge, but he of course overcame it.

Behind him, Gojun struggled to get up, but she managed to. She gritted her teeth and staggered to her feet. She sniffed slightly, and felt her lower lip, where a steady flow of blood was erupting. She closed her eyes as she saw the blood on her hand. She turned to see Vegeta facing away from her. She took a step forward, and powered up again. She flew at him, and Vegeta suddenly turned and met her fist with his palm. "Still trying? You should have just stayed down." Gojun closed her eyes, ready for him to punch her. It never came. She opened her eyes and he was a few steps away, and was beckoning to her. "Punch me."

Gojun whimpered slightly, but sucked it up. She flew at him again, screaming. She punched furiously, and Vegeta blocked each one. When she tired, he punched her in the face, and her hands flew up to stop her bleeding nose. Then he punched her in the gut, and she flew backwards into a tree, and crumpled at the bottom, motionless. She tried to open her eyes, but it all seemed blurry. Then a familiar voice rang out.

"VEGETA! Just what do you think you're doing?" A small woman ran to her, and held her head up. "Gojun, are you okay?"

Gojun cleared her throat. "Kashi? How. How do you know Vegeta?"

Kashi helped her up. "I've met the arrogant Prince more than once."

Vegeta smirked. "I remember now, Kashi. You and the queen came for a visit with our king, my father."

"Yes. Prince Vegeta, you should be ashamed of yourself! Beating up a poor girl, a princess nevertheless!" Kashi placed a hand over Gojun's chest, and Gojun closed her eyes as she began to feel lightheaded. Soon she opened her eyes and was completely healed. She sat up.

"Vegeta, you should have known better than to fight her! I came over to find her, and found you beating the poor girl up! Your father would be shamed."

Vegeta snarled. "Do not bring my father into this. But I am training the girl, and was only sparring."

Gojun stood up. "That's right Kashi, I'm fine."

"Now you are. But another minute with him would have killed you! What were you thinking sparring a Super Saiyan!"

"But. But my power was just as strong as his! I was on the same level!"

"There is no way. He was Super Saiyan. You were not. Simple as that. Let's go home." She grabbed Gojun by the arm and started walking.

"I can fly Kashi." Gojun picked up Kashi and hovered in the air. "See you Vegeta. I'll be back tomorrow. And tomorrow, I'll go Super Saiyan."

"Right." smirked Vegeta. The kid had guts. He had to admit that.

That night, for once, Gojun had a nightmare. She dreamt that fire was all around her. She couldn't see or breathe at all. She'd try to scream, but no sound came out. She saw her adoptive parents, burning in the flames. She tried to run to them, but was knocked out of the way. She looked up to see Goku pulling her away. Then she looked back, and instead of her adoptive parents, Chichi, Gohan, and Goten stood, smiling and waving. The flames didn't even seem to touch them. She screamed and tried to get back to them, but Goku pulled her away.. Farther away. She looked forward, and saw that Goku was pulling her towards another pod. Gojun pulled away, and started running back to Chichi and the others. Halfway there, she stopped as she saw her adoptive parents beckoning to her from the side. She looked from them to her birth family. She fell to the ground in tears. She looked up, and saw Vegeta. A smile resided on his face, and he offered her his hand. She took it, and wiped away her tears with her other hand. Then she and Vegeta stood side by side and went Super Saiyan. They powered up completely, and then Vegeta smiled again at her, and then waved, leaving. Gojun reached out for him, but couldn't grasp him. She whirled around, and saw Chichi smiling. Gojun tried to run for her, but never seemed to reach her. Then she tripped, and fell. She kept falling. Never stopping.

Gojun shot up in bed, breathing heavily. The sunlight streamed into her window, and she rubbed her eyes before standing up. She walked downstairs, and saw Chichi cooking.

"Mom? Can we go shopping for school? It'll start tomorrow." Gojun cleared her throat. "I have money of course. But I'm not sure what worth it will be here."

Chichi turned around. "How much money do you have?"

Gojun went upstairs, and got a bag. Then she came back down, and laid the bag on the table. She opened it, revealing at least ten golden bars. "These are pure gold, but like I said, I'm not sure what worth they'll be here."

Chichi's eyes went wide. "Gojun, dear. You must have at least half a million dollars of our money there! How'd you get that much?"

She shrugged. "Well, it's all I could grab out of the royal vault in my room before they took me to the pod. I had at least a thousand more of these in my vault. So, will this cover our shopping trip?"

Chichi nodded blankly. "I'll. I'll go get dressed. And. then we'll be off."

Gojun nodded, and she ran a brush quickly through her hair. She went outside, and waited near the car. Chichi soon came out, and she unlocked the car. "Come on." She jumped in, and Gojun got in as well.

They headed towards the mall, and when they got there, Chichi parked the car. They got out, and Gojun stretched. They entered, and Gojun sighed. Being a rich ex-princess had its perks. Especially when it came to shopping. She grinned, and pulled Chichi towards the nearest store.
