Unexpected Fate
Chapter 12
CMG: Well, thanks to a very new idea that popped into my head, I managed to destroy the evil writer's block. (breaks the huge thing with one blow) I was on the bus when I thought about the story. Anyway, I don't own them. I only own Scrix and Karis, who are going to be in this story briefly. Anyway, enjoy the fic, peeps!
--------------------------------------------
"9,996... 9,997... 9,998..." counted Goku as he does sit-ups in his room. His body was still a wreck, but he kept training, despite the injuries. "9,999... 10,000!"
Goku got up and walked back to his bed and sat down. The bandages wrapped around his arms confirmed that they were possibly broken as well as his left leg. Sighing, he fell back across his pretty big bed and looked up at the ceiling.
'I wonder where you are, dad?' thought Goku as he heard one of the Yardratians who were caring for him come inside the room.
"Goku, you know you shouldn't be training while you're still injured," said the Yardratian. "You did fracture most of your bones when you fell out of the spaceship."
"I know, Irn, but I know that the more I train, the stronger I'll get once I heal up," said Goku. "Man! I wish I had a Sensu Bean right now."
"The healer in the other village though is still recovering after another visitor on the planet managed to rescue him a few days ago," said Irn.
"Did he look like me?" said Goku.
"Yes," said Irn. "He says that the man's name is Bardock."
"Then I need to see him," said Goku. "Do you think that's possible?"
"Not yet," said Irn. "You still have two weeks worth of recovering to do."
"But I'm a Saiya-jin," said Goku. "I can recover twice as fast as that!"
"I meant it because you insist on training with those injuries," said Irn. "Now just rest for awhile. I'll bring you some food to make sure you don't starve half to death."
Goku's eyes lit up. "Okay. Can I have everything then?"
"What?!" said Irn. "How much do you eat?"
"A lot," said Goku.
"This is going to be a long day," said Irn as he leaves the room as Goku waits for food, drooling on the blankets.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Bardock,* said a familiar voice as Bardock looks around in a strange white void.
"Huh?" said Bardock. "What's going on? Where am I?"
*In my world,* said the voice as Scrix appears.
"Scrix!" said Bardock. "But I thought you were in the other world!"
*This is only a dream,* said Scrix. *I am pleased that you had also became a Super Saiya-jin, but you should be alert for there will be another threat on Earth.*
"Another threat?" said Bardock.
*King Cold has somehow used his scientific staff to resurrect Freeza and make him much stronger than he was when you fought him with Kakarot on Namek,* said Scrix. *He is much stronger than both you and Kakarot are currently.*
"Will we have to train again?" said Bardock.
*Yes, it is important,* said Scrix.
*Bardock,* said Karis as she appears, *your son may be a Saiya-jin, but he's not like you at all. Please do whatever you can to make him act more like one, but at the same time, try to figure out what is weighing on your heart now that you've been with him for quite sometime.*
"Do you know?" said Bardock.
*Yes, but I think it's best that your son told you that,* said Karis as she disappears.
*Bardock,* said Scrix. *The universe's fate rests in you and your son's hands for the Earth will be destroyed if you don't save it.*
Scrix fades as Bardock stands there yelling, "How am I supposed to do it? How can I save the Earth?"
*** End Dream ***
Bardock wakes up in his bed, sweating as he runs out the door. He felt dizzy as Prest tries to help him. However, Bardock shoves him away.
"I don't need your help," said Bardock. "Now tell me where can I find my son. It's urgent."
"Are you crazy?" said Prest. "Right now, we are not able to leave the village due to a heavy fog. It is said that anyone who goes out into the fog will not return."
"Bah!" said Bardock. "Is this one of your fairy tales? I don't have time. I have to find my son so I can warn him of Freeza and King Cold."
"We have one way of getting to the next village, but you'll need to learn a new technique," said Prest. "Are you willing to learn it?"
"Fine," said Bardock. "It better not be a waste of my damn time."
"Very well," said Prest.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back in the other village, Goku is stuffing his face as Irn and a few other Yardratians run around from the kitchen, bringing food to the hungry Saiya-jin. Soon, he pats his stomach.
"Thanks you guys!" said Goku. "Man! I wish I can take these bandages off!"
"You still need to heal," said Irn. "Since the healer in the other village is still recovering, it will take him a few more days until he can come here."
Goku sighs. "Man, I wish I had a Senzu Bean right now."
"Of course, I did send out Slvr out a while back to try and bring back some herbs from a nearby field," said Irn. "The herbs we grow aren't as strong as the wild ones, but they should help a little so that your bones aren't fractured. There is one thing you cannot do and that's train."
"Oh come on!" said Goku. "I can eat and sit around, but I can't train? This sucks!" (Hee hee. I would have to agree. Hospitals are very boring.)
"Now Goku," said Irn. "Remember when I caught you doing chin-ups hanging from the towel rack in the bathroom? You fell and fractured a few more ribs after that stunt." (A/N: Not one of those weak and frail towel racks, mind you. More like a metal pole suspended from the wall like a pipe.)
"But I'm going to get weaker!" whined Goku as he starts pouting.
"Not really," said Irn. "You could always try meditating. If you're lucky, you can try and make your bones feel a bit better."
"I'm not sure," said Goku. "I'm more of a fighter and really can't do that kind of stuff."
"Hey, it never hurts to try," said Irn as he leaves the room.
'Maybe a bit of training wouldn't hurt,' thought Goku as his foot leaves the bed.
*Goku!* said Irn's voice in his head. *I heard that remark!*
Goku facevaults as he falls back into bed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ha!" said Bardock as he disappears and reappears a second later. "I did it!"
"Good," said Prest. "Now you should be able to go and visit your son."
"Thank you," said Bardock as he puts his index and middle fingers on his forehead. He concentrated and started to vanish. 'I'm coming, Kakarot.' He disappears and reappears at his son's bedside.
"Dad!" said Goku. "I'm glad to see you! How did you get better?"
"I found the healer," said Bardock. "In exchange, I got the potion before I found him and am partually healed for now."
"You look better than I am," said Goku.
"Well, mostly, I'm still a bit bruised," said Bardock. "Anyway, I have some news to tell you from Scrix and Karis."
"I see," said Goku. "Just lean down and let me read your memories."
"Huh?" said Bardock confused. "You can read my memories like Guru can?"
"Of course," said Goku as he reaches up to Bardock's head with his fractured arm as he winced a bit from the pain.
"Kakarot," said Bardock. "Don't be foolish if you're still injured. I could just tell you if you-"
Bardock stopped talking as Goku's hand touched his head. In moments, Goku got the information from Bardock and then removed his hand from Bardock's head. A minute later, Goku sighed in anger.
"So, Freeza's been revived and he and his father, King Cold are on their way to Earth," said Goku. "Is that right?"
"Yes," said Bardock.
"That bastard," said Goku as his hair flashed blonde and his eyes became aqua again. He transformed as he lost control.
"Son!" cried Bardock. "Don't! You're not healed yet!"
"What's going..." said Irn as he comes into the room. "AHHHH!"
"AHHHH!" cried Goku as the bandages rip off of his body. He starts to thrash around, but was whimpering as he felt the pain from the broken bones he felt.
*Kakarot!* said Bardock's voice inside his mind. *STOP!*
Goku suddenly stopped thrashing and passed out. He reverted to normal as Irn slowly mustered the courage to see to his patient.
"He's getting worse," said Irn. "He's suffering from stress. Let him rest for a few days."
'Great,' thought Bardock. 'The universe is screwed if he doesn't recover.'
--------------------------------------------
CMG: So, what did you guys think? I know this was a bit different than normal, but heck. I wanted to add some suspense, so I made it so. I had another take on this chapter, but then at the last minute, I came up with this beautiful script. It was much better than the original and I thought about how Goku cannot transform by will yet. So, I added that in.
Scrix: Amature. I was able to transform by will after the battle. He is only relying on his anger from his best friend's death.
CMG: (ignores Scrix) Anyway, review folks. Flames are welcome and I know about the stupid errors I make. I'm using a stupid Notepad since my stupid Microsoft Works program is screwed up. Damn Microsoft Works 2000! Oh well. Bye!
