Unexpected Fate

Chapter 44

CMG: If I can't do this, then I know two goddesses who are going to die! *goes Super Bitchin' 3* Move.

Infr: Okay. *hobbles to a fallout shelter that appeared out of nowhere*

CMG: It's just you and me, television. I've been working on an attack for awhile that will destroy it. It's one of my pretty amazing tricks.

Scrix: *cries from door of the fallout shelter* Just nuke it to hell already!

CMG: Fine. *thrusts her hands out like Vegeta's Final Flash pose, but with Goku's Kamehameha hands* Super Bitchin' 3 Special...

*television suddenly explodes*

CMG: Damn. *reverts to normal*

Scrix: *he and Infr come out* Did you destroy it?

CMG: It destroyed itself. Dammit! Now I can't do my special attack!

Scrix: Good.

CMG: Oh well. Anyway, I don't own Dragon Ball Z. Wow. I haven't said that for awhile. Anyway, I only own some gods and a couple of goddesses who probably possessed the television.

Infr: How do you know?

CMG: I'm the author, you idiot. Who else would know what those two are plotting right now?

*on the moon*

Saria: We're fucked.

Karis: Yeah. Dammit! Now what?

Saria: Bribe her with ice cream?

Karis: Can't hurt! *disappears*

Goku stretched as he walked down the hallways of the Other Realm to the training room where Goten and Trunks were practicing the fusion dance. Under Vegeta's watchful eye, he was horrified beyond speech of the dance his son and Goku's was doing as he mused in disgust.

"Why in the fuck did Scrix teach them that?" said Vegeta.

"Hey! It won't hurt!" said Goku. "Besides, it's only temporary."

"Still, it's stupid and I will not do that dance with you," said Vegeta. "Dead or alive." (A/N: And he did the dance in Movie 12-Rebirth of Fusion: Goku and Vegeta to kill Janemba and Dragon Ball GT #60 to fight some evil dragon known as Il Shenlong and did good until he wasted his time and... *Scrix shoves CMG in a sound-proof room*)

"Dad, the fusion dance isn't stupid!" said Trunks.

"Yeah!" said Goten. "I heard that if you do it, both of us will become one warrior and kick Majin Buu's sorry little pudgy behind around the world!"

"Really?" said Vegeta. "I'd like you both to perform a fusion. Now."

"But we haven't learned it well enough yet!" said Goten.

"And besides, Goten moves too slow!" said Trunks.

"You move too fast!" said Goten.

"It's not my fault you move like you've never taken a dance lesson before!" said Trunks as he and Goten begin to fight. Goku and Vegeta both grabbed their sons as they tried to get out of their father's grasps and continue the fight.

"That's enough!" barked Bardock. "You two are supposed to work as one, not fight each other like you're two separate people!"

"Fine," said Goten. "Let's continue practicing."

"Yeah," said Trunks. "The sooner we learn this, the sooner we'll go Super Saiya-jin 3."

"What?!" said Goku as he falls over.

"You two are insane!" said Vegeta. "Going Super Saiya-jin 3 is suicide when you have that tail attached to your ass! It can drive you insane!"

"Really?" said Goten. "Then why did my grandfather not go insane when he transformed the first time?"

"Good point," said Vegeta.

"I was asleep at the time," said Bardock. "Since the visions kept me from attacking, I guess I stayed sane."

"For the most part," muttered Vegeta.

"Anyway, where's Scrix at?" said Goku.

"Oh, he went to a strange room at the end of the hallway," said Trunks.

"Yeah," said Goten. "It had some strange writing and a floating fire thingy in the center of the room."

"I see," said Goku. "Thanks."

"Daddy," said Goten as he ran up to him. "Will you spar with me when you come back?"

"Of course!" said Goku as he and Bardock left the room to the room where Scrix was at. There was an alter where it was covered in some sort of strange moss. Scrix was standing there as he motioned Goku to slowly come closer to him.

/Kakarot,/ said Scrix in Saiya-go. /To better understand the Saiya-jins, you have to first open your mind completely to what I'm about to teach you. First, we'll start at your antomy./

Goku blushed as Scrix held up his staff and a high pitch noise pierced his ears. Bardock was uneffected as Goku cringed. /That was painful!/ whined Goku.

/That's the point!/ said Scrix. /Now, this time, concentrate on your hearing and make the sounds around you seem duller than they already are. The reason you're hearing is good is because you're putting more of your energy into it./

The noise was sounded again, but Goku didn't get phased by it. /It didn't hurt!/

/See?/ said Scrix. /Now for the tail./

/Wha-?/ said Goku before he felt a painful crushing sensation on his tail. /Let go! I'll pass out!/

/Next lesson: Try to escape my grasp,/ said Scrix.

/You are a sick bastard.../ groaned Goku. /I mean come on! What's the point in grabbing my tail and telling me to escape when I'm paralyzed!/

/There's a way,/ said Scrix.

Goku groaned in pain as he tried to struggle out of the grasp. For a half-hour, he seemed to be trying to win a never-winning battle. Bardock just watched uninterested as he came up with an idea. Grinning like crazy, he sent a mental image to Goku that showed a buffet of food in front of him. That made him perk up as he ignored the pain and suddenly race forward as his tail slid out of Scrix's tight grasp. The vision suddenly faded as Goku looked around and then pouted.

/Aw! I thought I saw food!/ said Goku with a sad face.

/Bardock, you shouldn't interfere,/ said Scrix as Bardock grinned.

/Why not?/ said Bardock.

/Because this is what Kakarot has to do alone,/ said Scrix. /Now try again./

/Okay,/ said Goku. The struggle lasted longer as Goku did what he could to escape. He tried to power up, but his energy was drained. Suddenly, he had an idea. Going limp, he fell to the ground as Bardock thought his son passed out. Scrix did too as he let go of Goku's tail. Suddenly, Goku jumped Scrix and had him pinned to the ground.

/Good,/ said Scrix. /I see you've trusted your instincts to pull that one off!/

/My instincts?/ said Goku.

/A Saiya-jin trusts his instincts like you would trust your ability to sense energy to find anyone in the universe,/ said Scrix. /You are only starting to trust them, so I'll try to make you aware of it a bit more./

/How?/ said Goku.

/By having a fight with me,/ said Scrix. /A life or death battle. Right now./

/Are you insane?/ said Bardock. /My son's instincts are like hormones and you're challenging him to a fight? Don't you know what transpired on Planet Vegeta and how my son and I have reached the forbidden level?/

/I know all about that, but the forbidden level has been stripped from both of you when you set foot inside this place,/ said Scrix. /Go ahead and try to activate it./

Bardock groaned, but he only went to Super Saiya-jin 3 before he found that he indeed couldn't go to the next level at all. Reverting to normal, Scrix smirked.

/Amazing,/ said Bardock. /Does that mean it's gone for good?/

/Yes,/ said Scrix. /It's a one-time thing you both shall have unless something bad happens. Then, if it's summoned again by will alone, it will probably be uncontrollable due to the lack of a moon being on Earth./

/The moon's a part of the transformation?/ said Bardock.

/It actually could be achieved by either the moon or by anger, but the moon keeps your urges under control,/ said Scrix as he throws his staff over against the wall along with his red cloak. /Kakarot, during battle, don't rely on your Earth-raised techniques. Go by the instincts you were born with. Don't show any mercy either./

Goku nodded as the two flew at each other.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Huh?" said Vegeta as he suddenly felt Goku's energy flare up. "Brats! Come on!"

"What's going on?" said Trunks.

"I have no idea, but Kakarot's about to fight someone!" said Vegeta as the three run down the hallway into the room where they saw Goku and Scrix fighting against each other. "No way!"

"Wow! My daddy's fighting against the Saiya-jin God himself!" said Goten.

"Cool," said Trunks. "I hope we get the chance!"

Goku was feeling his blood rush as he blocked and feinted blows from his body. Scrix did the same as they seemed equal against each other. Bardock was watching with interest as Goku seemed more focused.

"Kakarot, you're still denying a part of yourself," said Scrix as he flares into Super Saiya-jin 2 as he landed a heavy blow into Goku's face. Goku quickly recovered and matched Scrix's level and kicked his legs from beneath him, which nearly knocked the Saiya-jin God on his ass and tail. (A/N: Sugar high! @.@)

"I know," said Goku as he felt something telling him to strike from behind. As Goku disappeared, Scrix suddenly turned around too late as Goku landed a punch in Scrix's chest. Landing on the ground, the two stared at each other out of breath.

"Not bad," said Scrix. "Now get ready. This next round will be a bit more intense."

'Intense?' thought Bardock as Scrix goes Super Saiya-jin 3 as Goku remained at Super Saiya-jin 2. In a blur, Goku and Scrix disappear as the sound of fighting was heard all over the temple. Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and Bardock watched as they traded blows against each other. At one point, Goku became visable, but suddenly disappeared as he continued the fight against Scrix.

"They're both moving fast!" said Goten.

"That's the point!" said Trunks as he started to have trouble keeping up with the two fighters. Eventually, both of them reappeared. Scrix was out of breath as Goku now stood in his half ascended Super Saiya-jin 3 form. The long hair didn't really grow down his back completely as everyone wondered why he didn't just break to the next level and get it over with.

"Good, just a bit more," said Scrix as he suddenly disappeared and grabbed Goku by the tail with one hand and got him in a choking hold with another as Goku's power suddenly dropped back to normal.

"Damn!" said Vegeta. "Kakarot! Get out of that hold!"

"Shit!" yelled Bardock. "Scrix, you're supposed to be..."

"I said this is supposed to be a battle of life and death," said Scrix. "If Kakarot can't get out of this, then his instincts will hinder him later and he'll probably destroy Earth!"

Goku was trying to tear off Scrix's arm from around his neck, but it was too painful to the Earth-raised Saiya-jin as he whined a bit like a wounded animal. He started to feel his consciousness waver as he saw Kakarotto laughing and his father and prince once again in pain in his mind. Suddenly, Goku's powered up beyond the pain as he fully ascended to Super Saiya-jin 3 and broke the hold Scrix had on him and attacked Scrix by throwing him into a wall. He was then pulled out rather painfully as Goku continued his violent attack on him. Finally, Scrix was on the ground in so much pain that he seemed to be dying. As Goku was about to finish him off, Bardock grabbed his son from behind and pinned his arms in a bear hug.

/Let go!/ growled Goku.

/No,/ said Bardock. /Kakarot, you need to control yourself! You're about to kill Scrix and if he dies, then you will lose your power!/

Goku suddenly regained all of his senses as he looked down at Scrix's body. "Scrix! Oh shit! This is my fault!" Out of an unknown instinct, Goku suddenly thrusts his hands out before the fallen Saiya-jin God as an orb white as snow formed in his hands and decended into the broken, injured body beneath him. After that, Goku passed out as Scrix's wounds were magically healed by the strange power Goku used. As Scrix opened his eyes to see that he was alive, he looked over at Goku and was confused.

"What happened?" said Scrix.

"Kakarot managed to heal you somehow," said Infr from the doorway. "He's displayed a rare power that hasn't been used since Vegeta's explosion." (A/N: The planet for those of you who are confused.)

"You mean the Healing Sphere?" said Scrix.

"Only the Saiya-jin outcasts knew of this technique and try not to use it unless it's a life or death situation," said Infr.

"Meaning?" said Bardock.

"Meaning while Kakarot was with Wingdof during the trials, he must have learned this technique from him due to the father-son bond you have with him here," said Scrix.

"Daddy!" cried Goten as he ran up to his father's unconscious body.

"Goten! Stay away from him!" yelled Bardock as Goten came close to his father's unconscious body.

"No! I want my daddy!" cried Goten as he hugged the unconscious Goku.

*******

/Where am I?/

Goku looked around as he saw a pink being with a giant sphere in his hands. Goku was confused.

/Is that Majin Buu? What is he.../

Suddenly, the Earth exploded in a violent light as Goku hissed.

/No! All of those people! My home! It's destroyed!/

~Not permentally...~

/?/

~You are Goku, correct?~

/Who are you?/

~I am someone you know so well when you were growing up, yet have no idea how I'm communicating with you at this moment. I know of your life story and your real name, Kakarot after my death. When you fell on your head a long time ago, you lost the part of yourself that made you whole.~

/Made me whole?/

Goku didn't know what the voice was talking about when he suddenly felt a flood of energy emit through his body and almost made him fall over. He felt different as he stood up straight again.

~Your instincts have been restored completely. Farewell my boy...~

*******

Goku stirred as Bardock became suddenly tense. Looking down on his chest was Goten clinging to him with his eyes tightly shut as Goku gently touched the top of the demi-Saiya-jin's head to ruffle his hair. A bit surprised by this, Goku purred as Goten opened his eyes in confusion.

"Daddy?" said Goten in shock. "Are you purring?"

Bardock face vaulted when he heard Goten say that outloud. "What?" 'My son's instincts are really fucked up! He's going to do something bad to Goten!'

"Your dad purrs too?" said Trunks. "I thought he only did it around mommy!"

"Yeah son," said Goku as he stopped purring. "What's wrong with you all keeping your distance?"

"For one, your son's a half-breed and two, you were fighting your instincts," said Bardock.

"Oh, that?" said Goku as Goten got off of his chest and stood by his side. "Someone in a vision told me that I now have control over them."

"Huh?" said Vegeta. "Who was it?"

"He sounded rather nice, but at the same time, strangely familiar," said Goku. "I can't remember who it was."

As Goku got up, he felt dizzy as he got to his feet. His eyesight and sense of smell felt slightly stronger as he looked around. Suddenly, he felt something that made him jump.

"I can feel Gohan!" said Goku. "He's alive!"

"What?!" said Bardock. "But I thought he was killed!"

"No, he's alive!" said Goku.

"My big brother's alive!" cried Goten as he became happy.

"Can you sense Majin Buu?" said Bardock.

"Yes, and Baba-di too," said Goku. "I know what you're planning dad and I agree that we have to stop Baba-di before the Earth is destroyed."

"You also know how I want to kill that son of a bitch too," said Bardock as Goku groaned.

"Pretty much, you have about 57 Saiya-jin death moves you want to perform and you're trying to think of a suitable way for him to die," said Goku. "Why don't you just blast his head off?"

"Because, I want him to suffer," said Bardock.

"Why don't you use number #34," grinned Vegeta.

"Oh, the classic "Dance of Death"," said Bardock. "That's a good one. I could use my energy blasts to make him into swiss cheese with both of my fingers." (A/N: Like when those cowboys shoot bullets to make you dance. It's something like that.)

"Um... Mr. Bardock, sir?" said Trunks.

"What is it?" said Bardock.

"Why don't my daddy and Mr. Goku fuse and take him down himself?" said Trunks as it became Vegeta's turn to face vault before getting really pissed off.

"HOW MANY TIMES WILL I SAY THAT I'LL NEVER FUSE WITH THAT THIRD-CLASS CLOWN?" roared Vegeta as his voice hurt practically every demi- and full-blooded Saiya-jin's ears.

"I have an idea," said Trunks.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Back on Earth, Baba-di rides on Buu's back. Their never-ending destruction of the world continued when suddenly, a boot hits Buu in the face as he goes flying back. Regaining his composure, Buu and Baba-di were face to face with a rather angry Super Saiya-jin 2 Gohan dressed in the garbs of the Kaioshin. In his hands was the Z-Sword as he looked evil.

"I thought Buu killed you!" said Baba-di.

"You wish," said Gohan coldly. "Now it's time for me to get my revenge on you, Baba-di. Then, I'll destroy your little friend."

"Buu play?" said Buu.

"Go ahead," said Baba-di as Buu prepares to fight Gohan yet again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I don't believe it!" said Piccolo. "Gohan's alive! He's much stronger than he was originally as well!"

"Amazing!" said Videl. "Can he defeat Baba-di?"

"He's the only one left we can rely on," said Piccolo. "If he goes down, so do the rest of our chances of saving Earth."

CMG: Well, that ended with quite a twist in the plot. Next time: Gohan and Buu fight; Trunks and Goten fuse; and Gogeta makes his first appearance ever! *squeals with joy*

Scrix: What's up with you being obsessed with Gogeta anyway?

CMG: Easy. No shirt on means no taking off. So, I can grope his fine chest easy!

Infr: *sweatdrops* You're disturbing.

CMG: Thank you.

Scrix: What about Saria and Karis?

CMG: Oh yeah. I forgot about those two. I'll have to hunt them down. Until next time, read and review!

Infr: And what else? *taunts CMG with a strange present as she pouts*

CMG: Um... Happy Birthday? *Infr face vaults*

Scrix: *looks like he wants to kill her* No! *thinking* Wait. Was it a birthday?

CMG: Wait! I know. Happy Day Off! *Scrix knocks CMG out and drags her off*

Infr: Since the damage that show's done to her brain, we wish you a Merry Christmas. *runs off*

*on moon...*

*Karis and Saria dressed up in sexy Santa suits*

Karis/Saria: And a Happy New Year!
