Consciousness of the Heart
Chapter Four Sayain Lost, Sayain Found *************************************************************
"I found the identity of the missing soul sir!" A green ogre announced excitedly as he rushed into Yemma's office.
"Good." Yemma said relieved.
"It is the sayain known as Radditz." The ogre said looking through a large file.
"This is his file." He said and placed the file onto his desk.
"Hmm." Yemma said as he leafed through the papers.
"Long history of violence, son of Bardock, strong warrior, served Freeza, brother to Goku." He muttered skimming the details.
"We better get Goku on this right away." Yemma said.
"We might need more help than that." Yemma sighed.
"Yes sir, right away." The ogre said and turned to leave.
"How do you want me to contact him?" The ogre asked.
"Maybe you could kill him and send him down to hell." A raspy female voice said from the doorway.
"Kill Goku?!?!?!" The ogre yelled out shocked.
"I wasn't being serious you fool!" Baba yelled smacking the ogre on the top of the head.
"I will summon Goku." Baba said.
"For what?" Yemma asked raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean for what? Maybe it's for the sake of the earth or the well being of all those people?" she snapped.
"In all my years of knowing you, you have never done anything for free." Yemma said.
"True." Baba agreed.
"So, what do you want in return?" Yemma asked.
"We'll think of that when the time comes." Baba said turning around on her crystal ball. *************************************************************
"Goku! Gohan! Goten! Dinner!" Chi Chi called from the house.
"All right!" Goten cheered.
"Man, training really does work up an appetite." Goku said grinning.
"Breathing for you works up an appetite." Baba said floating down to the yard of the Son home.
"Hey Baba! Nice to see you." Goku waved.
"I have come to take you to Yemma's office, concerning the lost soul." Baba said.
"Can I eat first?" Goku asked innocently.
"I wouldn't want to keep you from food." Baba muttered.
"Thanks!" Goku said excitedly and san to the kitchen.
"Hello Baba, so nice to see you." Chi Chi said politely.
"Same for you." Baba nodded.
"May I go with you?" Gohan asked curiously.
"It's fine with me." Goku said and returned to eating.
"Have you finished your homework?" Chi Chi asked sternly.
"Yes mom." Gohan said.
"Fine, but don't be out late, it is a school night." Chi Chi frowned.
"Can I go too?" Goten asked.
"No way young man! You have to take a bath and go to bed early tonight." Chi Chi said.
"Not this time sport." Gohan smiled.
"Aww man!" Goten said, but, smiling he returned to eating.
"Just like his father." Baba muttered and shook her head. One Goku had been a pleasure, but now there was two of them.
"I'm ready to go." Goku announced and stood up.
"It was a great dinner mom, thanks." Gohan grinned and also stood up.
"Be careful." Chi Chi warned and waved them off.
"Bye!" Goten called.
"Don't worry!" Goku grinned. *************************************************************
Pepper woke up and looked around.
She was on the floor of some giant building, her skin was darker than she remembered and covered in goose-bumps. Wiping her self off she looked around at all the spider-webs and dust caked every where.
"Gross." She grumbled as she ran a hand through her long spiky hair.
"Uh-oh" She said. Pepper had short brown, almost blonde hair. Now, from the feel of it, it was down her back and splitting off into long spikes.
"I'm dreaming, it's all a dream." She said.
Looking down she saw her backpack and the place where she slept covered in blood.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" She panicked. *************************************************************
"Hey Yemma, good to see you." Goku greeted warmly.
"Are you sure we are allowed to be here?" Gohan asked nervously.
"I was sent by Yemma himself to bring you here." Baba assured.
"The soul that is missing appears to be sayain, his name is..." Yemma started but was cut off by a female voice.
"Radditz. Remember him?" A young woman asked in the doorway.
"Yes, I do." Goku said seriously.
"Good, he came to earth to destroy the planet, you and Piccolo fought him, Piccolo survived and you were brought back to life, long story made short." She said sharply walking closer.
"He disappeared in the consciousness of one girls mind on her journey to my realm. And by escaping, I mean he used the doorway Yemma failed to lock up as he was ordered and now we have a huge dilemma on our hands that could have been avoided if you didn't have your head stuck up your own ass!" She said raising her voice.
"Who are you?" Goku asked innocently.
"Who I am is none of your concern." She snapped.
"She's my grand-daughter." Baba said bluntly.
"You have a grand-daughter?" Goku and Gohan asked at the same time.
Baba looked at them blankly.
"Are you deaf?" The young woman asked harshly.
"My ears were fine until you walked in the door." Yemma said sharply, slamming his fist down on the desk for silence.
"Lacey, be silent." Baba warned.
"I have a file here on all of the souls that recently visited my realm and all of the consciousnesses of the living that met them in my realm." Lacey said quietly.
"I have placed a tracking device on a few suspicious people, one of them I am sure has the soul." Lacey said handing out eight different trackers.
"Pretty soon you should start sensing the sayain's Ki and you won't need these, but for now this is all you have." She said and walked out pf the room.
"I only understood about half of what she said." Goku admitted.
Yemma sighed. "That woman there, is the President of the dream realm. She allows souls from Heaven meet with the consciousness of their families or friends. A consciousness is like a piece of the living one's soul, considering that if you took the whole soul away, they body would die. Only very few people have ever found the place and used it. It is kept secret so as not to overflow the system."
"If a soul is true and pure of heart they may pass through a doorway and briefly visit with the living. A long time ago there was a doorway between Hell and the dream realm for reasons I am not certain, but orders came in to shut it down. I never did and somehow that sayain found it and escaped."
"Now, for a person's consciousness to be able to transport an entire soul they would either have to be very smart, or very unaware."
"I am pretty sure that whoever they were was not even sure they were visiting the dream realm when the soul hopped along." Yemma finished.
"How are we supposed to return the soul without hurting the human?" Goku asked.
"That would be up to the human, they may or may not agree with you, and Radditz might be in full control." Yemma said.
Goku nodded, soaking in everything he had heard.
"How will we know when we find the person?" Gohan asked.
"Usually there will be a sign of a split personality, or the person will fully rebel to the soul and the soul will be lost forever. But, if Radditz's soul does take control, the human will adapt to a full blooded- sayain, and Radditz will be on the surface, the human lost forever. Your only chance is to get the human to cooperate with you and fight." Yemma said.
"All right." Gohan said slowly.
"King Yemma! There's been an emergency!" An ogre cried rushing into the office.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were having a meeting." The ogre apologized, bowing down.
"We were just leaving." Gohan said and turned away.
"We'll get Radditz back for you." Goku said and flashed his grin. *************************************************************
"Now, where does the scouter say to go?" Goku asked.
"It says to go south." Gohan said.
"All right, I have a feeling this is the right way." Goku said blasting off.
"And I have a bad feeling about this." Gohan muttered.
"We found you Radditz..."
