New chapter! Sorry for the delay but I keep on forgetting to make the chapter! Anyway, on with the story!

The dining room was filled with food, thanks to Milo and Moy. Prince Syrus didn't speak much during dinner and answered only a few questions, at least the ones that seemed important. Vegeta stuffed his face like usual as he kept an eye on the prince. Goku would tell jokes and Goten would do something stupid like his father and everyone would laugh, expect Prince Syrus. Vegeta would at least smirk at some things but Prince Syrus would not.

" So can you be awoken again even though it's really Gohan living this life," Goku asked as he stuck a big chicken leg in his mouth.

" Only when needed," Prince Syrus responded carefully cutting his food. " If he cannot finish a battle he started, I can come forth now and finish it."

" Did you help Gohan before," Goten asked stealing Trunks's chicken. " Like when fighting Majin Buu or Cell?"

" If I did I didn't know. At times I felt somewhat awake and may have helped but I'm not sure about really helping him. I wasn't too fully awake until he was the rightful age as I."

Trunks grabbed the chicken Goten took and placed it back on his plate. Goten stole the chicken once again and put it on his plate. Trunks grabbed it with his fork and Goten tried stopping him with his. Both of them tried stopping themselves but didn't see Goku steal the chicken between the two. He was about to eat it until Vegeta grabbed it and stuffed it in his mouth. The three saiyans stared at Vegeta.

" That was mine until Goten stole it!"

" It wasn't on his plate!"

" That was mine!"

" Mine now," Vegeta said swallowing the food. " You can have it back when I'm done with it."

" That's gross," Trunks cried. Everyone laugh, even Milo and Moy, but even the funny site didn't faze the prince one bit. He only watched with his serious face and didn't seem to please with Vegeta or the others. Goku noticed the stare and stopped laughing. Goten and Trunks stopped laughing afterwards and Vegeta's smirk faded.

" Not a happy type I see," Vegeta said placing his fork to the side. " Don't have a sense of humor? I haven't seen you smile yet."

" I am not the one to smile," Prince Syrus said standing up. " Excuse me."

Prince Syrus left the table and disappeared in the hallway. Milo and Moy followed but Goku stepped in their way.

" Allow me," Goku said. " He's still my son, sorta, but I can always get through to him. I'm sure it was something he ate. The chicken tasted like rubber but the rest of the food was good."

Goku quickly left before Milo and Moy could protest. Vegeta waited until Goku left and stole his food. Goten and Trunks took Prince Syrus's and quickly ate the plates in front of him. Hey, what they know can't hurt especially if Goku didn't know who took his food.

' Safer that way,' Vegeta thought. ' Kakkorot can be quite serious if you take his food. I'll just blame it on the brats.'

Goku looked around for Prince Syrus. He could easily sense his ki but since the place was like a huge maze, Goku could get lost and never get found. Goku knew the fastest, and most accurate, way to find the prince.

' Instant Transmission,' Goku thought putting his two fingers on his forehead. He quickly disappeared from the castle and found himself outside. He found the prince in the middle of the destroyed town just standing there looking around. Goku carefully approached Syrus and was about to put his hand on the prince's shoulder. Syrus quickly turned around and aimed his scepter at Goku.

" What are you doing here," he asked as he aimed his scepter at Goku's throat. " Why did you following me here? I do not need your presence here."

" Easy," Goku said looking at the scepter. " I was just wondering why you left that's all. You are my son and everything."

" You are not MY father but you are Gohan's. I am not your son and I will never be. Now leave me alone before I take away your powers like I did Vegeta."

" I just wanted to help that's all."

" I don't need help," Syrus said lowering his scepter. " Now please leave me alone."

" Wow you sure are different from Gohan," Goku said putting his hands on his hips. Syrus turned his back towards Goku. " Milo and Moy said that you were nice and they made you go into someone who was nice. Gohan is nicer than you, no offence."

Syrus only mumbled as he started to walk. Goku followed ignoring the prince's reply to leave. Syrus didn't say anything so Goku knew that it was safe for him to follow, so he hoped.

" I'm sorry if I'm not like your son,'' Syrus said. " But I am not as nice as Milo and Moy say I am. I only care for my people and my planet. I do not care about outsiders like you."

" Aw lighten up," Goku cried. " You don't need to be so grumpy like Vegeta. We have one of him already, we don't need two."

Prince Syrus growled.

" You leave me alone," Syrus cried as his scepter glowed at Goku. " Go before I kill you!"

" You don't look like the killing type really. I'm just trying to-"

Prince Syrus fired from his scepter and hit Goku in the stomach. He went flying back and landed on the ground. Goku could move as he was in a knelt position barely strong enough to lift of his head.

" I warned you," Syrus growled as he walked ahead.

" I bet your parents are p-p-proud of you," Goku managed to say. Syrus stopped walking and aimed his scepter at Goku.

" I will not let you disgrace my parents," he shouted.

" Y-you are the s-s-same as G-G-G-Gohan," Goku said. Syrus stood there as he lowered his scepter to his side.

" What are you talking about? Gohan and I are different. You'll just trying to delay your death!"

" G-Gohan would never let you h-h-arm me, ah," Goku cried. " He never wanted his m-m-m-other or me disap-p-ointed in any way. He always tried to make us p-p-p-p-proud. He would do anything to protect us, even if it means his.his.life. And I know you wanted to do the same."

Syrus stared at Goku for a while before breaking the bond that was holding Goku. Goku managed to get up on his feet and dust off his pants.

" Care to talk?"

" Care for me to cut off your head," Syrus said.

" How are you going to do that," Goku asked scratching the back of his head. The scepter glowed and transformed into a sword holder. Syrus pulled out a sword and held it close to Goku's neck.

" Like that," he answered. " Why is this so much of concern for you?"

" Your father died and Gohan knows how it feels. Heck I died twice in his life. You can ask him what it was like loosing your dad at four and eleven. He had to train for a year and then raise his brother until he was seven. You always need a father figure to look up to." Syrus brought his sword closer to Goku's throat. " But if you don't need to talk then everything is fine with me."

Syrus put his sword down and it transformed back into his scepter.

" What was your father like," Syrus asked.

" Oh well," Goku stupidly replied. " I never knew him. He died on Planet Vegeta when I was just a baby. I bumped my head on Earth and found Grandpa Gohan and he raised me. He died cause some big monster crushed him. What was your dad like?"

" He was one who was born a warrior and never lost a battle," Syrus said looking up towards the sky. "He never really cared about how people treated him and he didn't care much about my mother or I. He wanted me to be a warrior and learn to love to fight. My mother was kinder and gentler than my father was. I have learned to love my people and the will to fight."

There was a silence between the two and Syrus sighed.

" I don't want to worry Milo and Moy. I best be off to the castle. Gohan is lucky to have a father like you."

Syrus walked by Goku without another word.

****

Vegeta still had no power but he did calm down. For some reason, he liked the prince. Heck, he pulled out a sword in front of Goku! He didn't kill him only because it was Vegeta's job. Even though they were at a rough start it got smoother. But alas, Prince Syrus had to go back to his slumber deep inside of Gohan.

" Must you go Prince Syrus," Milo asked. " You are back with your kingdom, please stay!"

" We can bring back everyone that died," Moy said. " You have the power to do so and your people will be so happy!"

" This is not my time," Prince Syrus said. " I am not the one to make the decision to stay. It may look like me but the body doesn't. I am sorry Milo and Moy but I have to part."

" Yes sire," they both said as they bowed. " You shall be missed."

Syrus gave a nod and turned back towards Goku and the others.

" Sorry for putting you all through. I may return one day and if Gohan has control, I may be a useful help to your group."

" So you're gonna leave," Goten asked. " You're so cool and everything! You even took away Vegeta's powers with a simple blast! You're the coolest person I know, even cooler than Gohan!"

" Much better than Gohan," Trunks said joining Goten. " You have a staff and everything and it can turn into a sword!"

" Yes it can," Syrus said agreeing. " If Vegeta wasn't one to ease drop then you two would have never known of my scepter and its powers."

" Speaking of powers, where's mine," Vegeta asked.

" Back to its rightful owner, trust me."

Vegeta powered up just to make sure and Prince Syrus said was true. Vegeta just gave a nod. He was right.

" Before you go Prince Syrus," Milo said holding out his fist. He opened it up to show a clear crystal tied onto a necklace. " This used to be your fathers. You were supposed to receive it when you have married but that time never came. We do not know of its powers but it's yours."

Prince Syrus took the necklace and tied it around his neck.

" Thank you," he said. " And goodbye."

Prince Syrus's body glowed and the clothes soon turned to differ. They were now a blue gi and orange sash. Gohan stood there for a moment before falling to the ground. Milo and Moy both caught him before he fell to the floor. Goku also ran to his side but Milo and Moy had it already under control. Milo carried him in his arms as he walked away.

" Where are you going," Goku asked in a yell.

" He's asleep," Milo answered. " I am taking him to his chambers so he can rest. Moy will show you to the guestrooms where you four will rest. Prince Syrus will be awake in the morning if you need him."

" It's Gohan," Goku stated. Milo didn't say much more as he left with Gohan. Moy grabbed Goku's arm and lead him to the guestroom.

****

Goku and Goten shared a bedroom while Vegeta and Trunks shared one of their own. They grabbed some extra clothes from the wreckage and used them. Goku had Gohan's but Moy took it in the room where Gohan was resting. That was the last time Goku had seen Milo and Moy for that day.

Goten was fast asleep in the bed he was sharing with his father. Goku could not get any sleep no matter how hard he tried. He was worried about Gohan and this Prince Syrus guy being one person, especially his son. Both Syrus and Gohan were more or less opposites. Syrus was serious all the time and never cracked a smile. He was smart, strong and wise. Gohan was the same there but he was more or less a shy person. He was serious during a fight but not all the time. No matter how hard tried to ignore it, Prince Syrus was part of Gohan and if he went, so did Gohan.

Knowing that sleep would never come, Goku got out of the bed. He walked around the room for a bit trying to decide what to do. If Milo and Moy weren't protecting him then Goku could see Gohan. But they were. Maybe the Instant Transmission could work but Goku would have to be extra careful. Milo and Moy could easily hear what Goku was doing.

Instead of pacing around like a fool, Goku opened the guestroom door quietly so he wouldn't awaken Goten in any way. To his surprise, he wasn't the only one awake. Vegeta was at his door waiting for him.

" What are you doing up," Goku asked in his boxers and tank top.

" I was about to ask you the same question," Vegeta said folding his arms. " You were worried Gohan, weren't you?"

" He's my son, of course I am."

Vegeta only grunted as he grabbed on Goku's shoulder.

" What are you waiting for Kakkorot? Use the Instant Transmission to get to your son!"

" You're coming?"

" Of course I'm coming. I need to make sure that brat isn't dead."

" I see your so concerned," Goku joked. With in a flash, the two disappeared into the air. Not to long after they left, they reappeared in the prince's chambers. Goku immediately went to the bed Gohan was lying on. He was sound asleep on the bed with his gi hanging up.

Goku didn't know why, but he flipped the covers to see what Gohan was wearing. When they brought their stuff to sleep in, Milo or Moy took Gohan's clothes and said that they would handle everything. To Goku's surprise and Vegeta's, Gohan wasn't wearing his usual sleeping attire. Instead of boxers and a tank top like his father, he had on a long silver nightgown that came up to his ankles.

" What the," Goku said to himself but stopped when Vegeta peeked over his shoulder.

" Milo and Moy both know that Gohan is in control," Vegeta whispered. " They are trying to do something to make him stay or something. I would be careful Kakkorot. As soon as we get up we leave."

" But we don't have an extra ship," Goku whispered back. " How are we going to get it fixed?"

" Gohan can do it."

" Really?"

" Of course. He and Bulma usually do repairs and with his high tech brain, he can fix anything. All we have to do is distract the two bakas and get him to fix the machine. While they are distracted and the ship is fixed, we can fly out of here."

" You're coming up with a lot of good plans Vegeta," Goku said. " First Majin Buu and now this. I think Bulma's been working with you."

" In more ways than one," Vegeta said with a smirk. Goku blushed since he knew what he meant but the red color soon faded as the door creaked open. Goku grabbed Vegeta's arm and pulled him behind the dresser since it could hide them both. " They will never find us here behind a stupid crystal dresser."

" It was the only place," Goku said pressing himself up against the wall and ignoring Vegeta's sarcasm. "Quiet or else they will hear you."

Vegeta growled quietly but quickly turned his attention at what was at hand. They heard two sets of footsteps and Goku leaned over. He saw Milo walking towards Gohan and stopped in front of the bed. Moy was right behind him and stood beside Milo.

" He was probably dreaming," Milo said looking down at Gohan. " Prince Syrus did usually had a habit of talking in his sleep."

" Did he usually toss and turn," Moy asked. " I don't remember him doing so."

" Only during nightmares. Our poor prince would be up all night with the awful nightmares he had. He would usually run to his mother for support but his father would push him away and yet he still loved his father."

" Our prince had a better father than Gohan," Moy said. " At least he cared for his son."

Goku quietly growled under his breath and made a fist. Vegeta put his hand on Goku's shoulder to calm him down.

" And he didn't die twice," Milo joked. Both men laughed.

" We can use that as an advantage. Come, we must let our prince rest. He'll need it for tomorrow."

" We don't need a grumpy prince on our hands now do we?"

Milo pulled up the covers Goku pulled down and tucked in Gohan. He smiled.

" Goodnight young prince. Don't let the nightmares scare you while your father leaves you here unprotected."

" That," Goku said a bit loud and clamped his mouth shut.

" What was that," Moy asked turning his direction towards the dresser.

" I'll go look," Milo said walking towards the dresser. He looked over and noticed that no one was there. He frowned and turned back to Moy. " It's nothing. This castle falls apart way too much. Come, it will be morning soon."

Elsewhere.

" We were almost caught Kakkorot," Vegeta yelled. " Now get me back to my bedroom and away from this place!"

" Sorry Vegeta," Goku replied rubbing the back of his head. " I know this isn't your favorite place but it was the only place where I can feel ki."

" This place is scarring me!"

" We'll leave."

Goku and Vegeta teleaported away from the big, cute eyed bunnies and the friendly deer that licked Vegeta's hand. Oh was it scary, very scary indeed.

Well it's scary to me!
