Dragon's of Tribeta-sei
Part 1 A New Life
Chapter 06 Planet Tribeta-sei
"COOL! You Mean I get to meet even more powerful dragons then Shenrong?" Goten said excitedly.
Kristina nodded and continued her tale "Yes we should be landing on Planet Tribeta-sei pretty soon. When we get there, you will come before the elders of the planet. You will have to go through some tests then you will be sent to the right age group and will be starting your education the very next day."
Goten frowned at the word 'education' and turned to Kristina and asked "What kind of 'education'? Do you mean like what I get on Earth? If that is the case then I think I'll go home."
Kristina saying, "It is nothing like the boring education that you have to go though on Earth, I guarantee it."
"Ok." Goten said as he turned to look out the window. He watched as space filled with stars passed them by at such speeds that it made it look like a rainbow of white, black, and occasional hot colors. But his thoughts started to travel back to his family again. Would everything really be all right with him gone? Goten wasn't sure about that. He was only gone for what? Five hours? And he already misses his family, he wondered why? They all treated him like dirt. His mother yells at him for things that he didn't do or for things that he doesn't know that he does. Both she and Videl yelled at him for hurting his niece, Pan. Like two weeks ago.
*****Flash Back***** It was a good day; everyone was spending time with each other. His dad was in the family room sharing old times with his friends. Gohon was doing some bills while talking with his friends and his father. His mom was in the kitchen baking cookies for everyone. She had just left to go to the rest room when Goten snuck into the kitchen thinking that he could sneak a few freshly made cookies for himself before anyone else could. Unfortunately his niece, Pan-chan had followed him into the Kitchen. He walked up to where there were trays of freshly made chocolate chip cookies. He chose to take a few of the cookies from the back of the tray because then his mother wouldn't notice the difference. Pan crawled up to him and grabbed hold of his pant leg and started to tug on them. Goten almost choked on his cookie when his niece did that. He looked down and scowled at the little pest that was always stealing the spotlight. She reached out her hand and gazed at him expectantly. He scowled even more and broke a cookie in half and dropped it into the brat's hand. She looked at hers and then looked at his and frowned then she put her hand out again and demanded for a bigger piece. "GIVE!"
Goten growled and spat out, "Get your own you little brat." And with that he finished getting his cookies and left the room munching on them. Leaving Pan to figure out how to get her own cookies.
Goten sat down over in front of the TV to watch Power Rangers. Everyone was to busy playing poker to notice that he had stolen a few cookies. It was just when Trunks was putting down his cards, which was a Royal Flash. Just as he yelled out his victory a loud crash sounded out from the kitchen followed by a loud crying. Everybody stared at one another before racing towards the kitchen to see what happened.
In the kitchen were pots and pan scattered everywhere, there was a huge puddle of hot water in the middle of the floor with all of the freshly made cookies everywhere, the cookie doe was on the floor, on the ceiling and on the walls and in the middle of all this mess was little Pan-chan who covered from head to toe of doe and hot water from the kettle on the stove crying loudly. Everyone gasped at the site before there eyes. The guys started to make a hasty retreat because Chichi was coming and they knew what is going to happen. Chichi let out a scream "WHAT HAPPENED? MY FRESHLY HOME MADE COOKIES ARE RUINED!" Videl had raced into the room to check her daughter for any injuries, if anything the little brat needed a bath. Goten had made a hasty retreat with his father and his friends along with Trunks.
Videl was trying to find out what happened, "Pan! What happened? Did you fall?" Pan cried and cried but she paused a little a tried to speak. "Un.k.el.Go.go." Gohon approached his wife and asked what was wrong. "I don't know but from what I can make out, I think she is trying to Goten." Then it just hit Videl as she turned and stormed into the family room with Chichi hot on her heals for Chichi had also put two and two together and came with a result. They found Goten over by the TV talking with Trunks.
"SON GOTEN!" Chichi bellowed.
Goten jumped and spun around to stare at his mother in question wondering what he did wrong this time. "What?"
"You know very well 'what'! What did you do to Pan?" Videl growled. Goten grimaced and backed away his mother and Videl advancing on him. "Well? What did you do? You have better answer her young man! Or else." Chichi growled. Goten put his hands out in front of him in defense. "I didn't do anything! I swear!"
"LIAR!" little Pan shouted while glaring at him from his mothers arms.
Goten glared back at her but then jumped when his mother let out a gasp then he felt something being snatched from his hands. "These are my cookies. Where did you get this?" when Goten didn't answer she got even more angry. "WHERE!"
Goten jumped and shouted out, "THE KITCHEN!"
Chichi stared at him disbelievingly, "You took these from the freshly made.with out permission.GGGRRRR THAT'S IT GOTEN!" She grabbed him roughly by the arm and jerked him forward her other hand came down and.
"AAAAOOOOOWWWWW!!" Goten cried out as tears threatened to escape his eyes. His mother spanked him again and again and again while yelling.
"How many SPANKE times do I SPANKE have to SPANKE tell you SPANKE not to take thinks SPANKE without permission SPANKE!"
Videl helped her punish Goten because she thinks that he was really the one who made that big mess in there and just teleported out of there leaving little Pan in the middle of it.
By the time Goten got out of there his but was black and blue, He was finally told to go clean up everything in the kitchen to make it spick and span again. 45 minutes later he was told to go to his room but he couldn't even stand so his father carried him up to his room and dropped him on his bed literally. Goten bounced off of his bed and onto the floor but his father didn't even turn to help him back up. Once he left, Goten lay on his bed with tears seeping through his eyes finally he could not take it and cried quietly for the rest of the afternoon.
*****End of Flash Back***** His eyes were wet and puffy as he went from memory to memory of bad or sad times and there were lots of them. He could almost hear a small voice in the back of his head saying,
"You were never wanted. You were weak and a failure. No one loved you. You were never loved. You were never cared for. Your father neglected you more then anyone. He never wanted you, he never loved you and he never cared for you! You were never loved!"
Goten growled as he fought to control his anger. His eyes flashed green for a few seconds when a hand landed on his shoulder. He jumped and his eyes went back to normal.
"Hey, are you ok young one?" Kristina asked him, worry in her voice. Goten heaved a big sigh and nodded putting on a smile. He then turned to Kristina and asked, "When will we get there?"
Kristina smiled, "We will be there in about ten minutes, Here why don't you come sit in this chair over here and get buckled in while I call Anatash." Goten nodded and did what he was told and climbed into the chair and buckled up his safety belts. A moment later, the lime colored, red headed alien named Anatash walked into the room. She took one glance in his direction as she settled herself over in front of a panel and started fingering some odd shaped knobs. There was a sudden jolt as the ship came out of Hyper Space and appeared to float over a beautiful world. Goten unbuckled himself and raced to the nearest window to gaze out in awe at the infinite words floating below them.
All around the ship was a blue spay mixed with purple and pink colors, stars and galaxies could be seen floating in the brightly colored space. They were of cold colors; there were small and medium sized planets of all colors hovering around a large golden colored planet that had to at least be as big as Jupiter if not bigger. The clouds were golden colored but the ground was bright green and blue. The blue parts were obviously oceans. There were some light reds and sea green clouds too. There along the bottom right side of the planet was a giant yellow circle of clouds. It was the most gorgeous site ever. The excitement that was in Goten grew to the point where it practically screamed out its emotions in his eyes. He started to excitedly point at several things.
The two adults just laughed at the child's curiosity.
The ship slowly descended into the planet's atmosphere and was soon floating over the planet's surface. The ship swung down and started heading northeast. The sky from what Goten could see had three suns and one moon but you could see other beautiful planets orbiting this one. The land was covered with jungles, deserts and endless open wide fields of flowers and occasional willow trees and lakes as far as the eye could see. But then Goten spotted a heard of 'dinosaurs'. Only they weren't dinosaurs they were dragons of all kinds, shapes and sizes. At that moment a large blue dragon that resembled Shenrong glided by. It had to be twice the size of Shenrong and it was at least three feet away from the ship as it shot by. Goten let out a yelp as it went by.
"That thing looked like Shenrong!" Goten yelped pointing at the huge beast as it passed by.
Anatash chuckled, "That was Storm-shenrong, my friend. He is capable of controlling the weather on this planet. He and other dragons that control the weather decide when the planet needs rain or not. He is one of the Nature Dragon Gods. Which means that you won't have to wish for anything that has to do with the weather, you can just pray for it and it will be answered the following day." She explained.
Goten was exotic about that. He began to wonder what other dragon gods that he will be able to see look like and what they are 'god' of. Pretty soon the ship landed on a landing pad and they were all materialized out of the ship and onto the plat form. "Welcome to Planet Tribeta-sei, Son Goten."
Goten was getting more and more exited to see this place.
"Meow?"
Goten looked down and saw a bizarre looking creecher. It looked like a rabbit but it's ears were larger and flopped down on either side of it, it had a sea green ovule shaped rock in it's forehead and it's fur was mostly black with a few brown patches and a fluffy black ball for a rabbit tail. He bent down to stare at it when it hopped up onto his shoulder and started washing his chin. Goten reached up to rub his chin with his wrist and giggled when the little creecher started to wash his ear lobe instead.
"Ack quit it! That tickles. stop!"
Kristina and Anatash laughed at the cute scene, "I see you've met Akorna in her Cabbit form."
"Huh?" Goten blinked up at Kristina before remembering her saying something about her ship being a living ship. Then he jumped when he noticed that that huge spiky ship that he traveled here in had vanished. "Where did the ship go?" Anatash chuckled, "Why the 'ship' is on your shoulder, kid."
"Nani?" Goten stared at the little cabbit that was perched on his shoulder now rubbing the side of her head on his hand. He lightly scratched the cabbit's throat and it purred in response.
"We should be going now. Follow us; our first duty when we arrive with you is to bring you before the elders. Lets go." Anatash said as she turned and walked off of the platform and onto a red dirt path. Kristina and Goten with Akorna on his shoulder followed her. They walked down this path for at least two miles before they came to a small village. The village houses were made up of wood and straw for roofs. There were gardens all around the houses. There were people working in those gardens, people that looked like Anatash. They all had lime or green skin. Those with green skin were bold because they were male. They looked more like Namekiens to Goten but they didn't have green and pink skin like Piccolo does. They all had antennas and wore god like clothing. As far as Goten could see there were no children. As they walked into the village he saw a few of the lime or green skinned people doing sales of clay pots, flowers mostly thorn bushes and other bizarre looking plants. There was a sign, which read 'Plant's that Heal'. Goten started to reach out and touch a bizarre plant that looked like a giant flower only to find that that wasn't a flower it was a huge biting plant, which he quickly jerked away from.
Kristina and Anatash had stopped at what looked like a small ranch with herds of Mustangs everywhere. Or at least they looked like mustangs. Anatash was talking to the seller in a different language. The seller nodded and held out his hand and Anatash dropped something shiny into the seller's hand and walked off. Goten assumed that that shiny thing was a type of money. Kristina turned to him, "We will ride on the flying musks. In order to reach the elders we must cross over the north ocean."
Goten blinked, "Why don't we just fly there?"
"Because it is a waste of energy and besides we are in no hurry. The elders are very patient. Come we must pack traveling supplies on the musts." Anatash explained.
The Flying Musks looked like elks with wings and had the tail of a horse. And they too seem to have a type of jewel in their forehead. His musks is mostly black with some white patches witch were outlined with a bash color. There was a red jewel in its forehead. Anyway he helped settle them and pile sacks onto the settles. Then they mounted them and thanked the helpers and the seller for lending these flying musts to them. "Let's go, now!" Anatash told her companions then to the Flying Musks the place where they needed to go. "To the Elder's Realm, please." There is no need to kick the musks off into the sky because once he tells them where you want to go they will go there. All three unfolded their mighty wings and bent their legs and launched up in the air, their wings beating underneath their rider's legs. Goten was being rocked forward and backward as the beating of the powerful wings grew harder and faster. Soon the beating became studier and slower and the rocking turned into a smooth ride with the occasional slow beat of the wings to stay in flight. ******************* Along the way they came across one of those herds of dragon gods. They were huge! Goten kept on pointing to each and every one asking about them. Kristina explained who each one was and what their gift is.
There was one not much bigger then the elks that they are riding. It had lavenderish white scales and purple eyes. His name was Poison Shenrong he controlled poisons plants.
There were dragons that controlled the contenite, the sunrays, the mantle, the water, the rocks and the light or darkness. These were all dragons of nature. But there was one dragon that controls the bringing of life and the bringing of death, the bringing of torcher and the bringing of healing. Anatash explained that that dragon is the King of all of the dragon gods. That is why he is called the Eternal Dragon Spirit. No one on this planet has ever seen this golden dragon except the elders. Goten wondered if he would meet this Altamonte dragon god later on in his life. ********************* Finally they reached the other side of the north ocean. There was a beautiful white temple in the middle of a huge garden, which was where the elders lived. There were plant like arks over some other flower gardens; the temple had some bizarre writing on it:
Elders OF Planet Tribeta-sei
ANNA of the healing
COLONEL of the talented
EDNA of the legends
Have Great Respect for Your Ancient Ones!!
When the landing came, the Flying Musks lowered their heads to the ground and their spines curved, if it weren't for those horns for Goten to hang onto, he would have slid off of the beast's nose. There was a ruff jolt when their hooves came in contact with the ground and Goten was pretty sure that he would have been bucked off if the landing was any harder. Once they have landed in front of the temple and dismounted their flying Musks. Anatash turned to Goten and spoke in a serious tone of voice, "Goten you must understand that this is serious and that you must not do anything foolish in front of the elders. They are very wise and can see right through any lies that come out of your mouth. So watch yourself. Do you hear me?"
Goten nodded, "Yes mame."
Kristina squeezed his shoulder saying, "Promise us that you will not do anything foolish while in there. You swear?"
Goten nodded again, "I swear I will not do anything foolish."
Kristina and Anatash nodded and headed towards the front door, Goten following. They walked up the front steps and approached the big white door with golden swirls all over it. Anatash put her left hand on the left door and Kristina put her right hand on the right door and pushed the doors slowly open. The doors creaked as they opened revealing a dark room dimly lit. In fact there was hardly any light in the room. But you could see the details of the room. The floor, walls and the ceiling were made up of holy stone. There was a wide red carpet that led the way down to the other end of the room. There were torches on the walls and thousands of candles lining the walls as well as a few of them floating in the air. On the other end of the room were bunches of candles hudled close to each other make an half circle and in the middle of the circle were three old looking women each seated on a large black pillow each. They wore a different colored robe each: Silver, Bronze and Gold.
All of a sudden, Goten felt very nervous and scared. What would the elders do to him? He felt himself being led towards where the elders sat waiting, Anatash on his left and Kristina on his right. The little Cabbit wasn't with them anymore but was waiting for them outside the temple. As they approached he couldn't take his eyes off of the elders of this planet. As soon as they were within feet of them, both Anatash and Kristina knelt down on one knee, Anatash's right hand resting on his left shoulder and the other in a fist and resting on her chest, the same thing with Kristina only with her left hand on his right shoulder. They bowed their heads and addressed the elders.
"Elders of our tribes, we have brought before you the troubled soul of Planet Earth." They both spoke this with their heads bowed. Goten began to wonder if he should kneel as well so he did kneel down on one leg unsure about things.
There was some silence for a few minutes until the elder in the silver robe spoke up. "Ah yes, the young Saiya-jin hybrid has come. Welcome child of great potential."
Goten looked confused. "Um. I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't have any 'potential'."
"Of course you do, child. More then you can ever imagine." The elder in bronze laughed.
"I do?"
"Yes."
Goten tried to think out what she meant by that. The elder in bronze spoke to the two women on either side of him. "Anatash and Kristina-chan, both of you have done well. You may wait outside if you would, please." The elder waved her hand once; Kristina and Anatash had disappeared from his sides. He heard the sound of the doors on the other end of the room being closed. He looked back just in time for the doors to completely close leaving him in the temple with the three elders.
"Now young one we will discus your past, present and future." The elder in gold spoke.
Goten turned back towards them.
"You may sit properly, child." The one is silver told him. He shifted himself to sit on his ankles, and wait for further instructions.
"Now let each of us introduce ourselves. I am Edna, the leader of the legendary tribe. This is Colonel she is the leader of the talented tribe." She motioned to the one wearing a bronze robe. "And this is Anna, she is leader of the healing tribe." She motioned to the other one wearing silver. "And you are the lost soul of planet Earth. Son Goten is it?"
Goten nodded, "Yes mame."
"Now I want you to tell us if we are right. The reason you are a troubled soul is because you believe you aren't being loved by your family, mostly your father, is this correct?" Anna asked.
Goten's face fell solemn, he only nodded once while remembering what Kristina had said, 'They can see right through any lie that you say.'
"Your father seems to not want to spend time with you in any way, correct" Anna continued.
Goten inwardly grimaced as he remembered how his father was when the moon had returned all of a sudden. He only wanted to spend time with his mom and whenever I did spend time with him he acted like he wanted to be somewhere else. Goten's eyes stung with tears but he dare not cry in front of these elders. Again he nodded his head only once.
"And ever since your father returned from the nether world, your family and friends started to resent you as well."
Again Goten nodded his head, a single tear escaped his eyes and slowly made its way down his cheek. He angrily brushed it away.
A few minutes passed before Colonel spoke up. "The reason that you are here is to train and become a better fighter and to start a new life. You will go to our schools and learn to control that burning emotional potential you have within you just waiting to be released. You shall make friends, go on missions to save a certain beast or a certain planet, when you are old enough you will find a woman who may become your sole mate and to pretty soon start a family of your own. That is why we've brought you here to this holy world."
"But!"
Goten looked up once he heard this.
"Your future decides on the answer of a single question." Edna continued, "That question is 'Do you want to go back to the planet Earth?'"
Really, Goten had no idea.
What will Goten's decision be? We he want to go back to the Planet Earth to live a lonely life? Or will he choose to stay and start a new life, we shall see on the next chapter; Goten's decision.

They walked down this path for at least two miles before they came to a small village. The village houses were made up of wood and straw for roofs. There were gardens all around the houses. There were people working in those gardens, people that looked like Anatash. They all had lime or green skin. Those with green skin were bold because they were male. They looked more like Namekiens to Goten but they didn't have green and pink skin like Piccolo does. They all had antennas and wore god like clothing. As far as Goten could see there were no children. As they walked into the village he saw a few of the lime or green skinned people doing sales of clay pots, flowers mostly thorn bushes and other bizarre looking plants. There was a sign, which read 'Plant's that Heal'. Goten started to reach out and touch a bizarre plant that looked like a giant flower only to find that that wasn't a flower it was a huge biting plant, which he quickly jerked away from.
Kristina and Anatash had stopped at what looked like a small ranch with herds of Mustangs everywhere. Or at least they looked like mustangs. Anatash was talking to the seller in a different language. The seller nodded and held out his hand and Anatash dropped something shiny into the seller's hand and walked off. Goten assumed that that shiny thing was a type of money. Kristina turned to him, "We will ride on the flying musks. In order to reach the elders we must cross over the north ocean."
Goten blinked, "Why don't we just fly there?"
"Because it is a waste of energy and besides we are in no hurry. The elders are very patient. Come we must pack traveling supplies on the musts." Anatash explained.
The Flying Musks looked like elks with wings and had the tail of a horse. And they too seem to have a type of jewel in their forehead. His musks is mostly black with some white patches witch were outlined with a bash color. There was a red jewel in its forehead. Anyway he helped settle them and pile sacks onto the settles. Then they mounted them and thanked the helpers and the seller for lending these flying musts to them. "Let's go, now!" Anatash told her companions then to the Flying Musks the place where they needed to go. "To the Elder's Realm, please." There is no need to kick the musks off into the sky because once he tells them where you want to go they will go there. All three unfolded their mighty wings and bent their legs and launched up in the air, their wings beating underneath their rider's legs. Goten was being rocked forward and backward as the beating of the powerful wings grew harder and faster. Soon the beating became studier and slower and the rocking turned into a smooth ride with the occasional slow beat of the wings to stay in flight. ******************* Along the way they came across one of those herds of dragon gods. They were huge! Goten kept on pointing to each and every one asking about them. Kristina explained who each one was and what their gift is.
There was one not much bigger then the elks that they are riding. It had lavenderish white scales and purple eyes. His name was Poison Shenrong he controlled poisons plants.
There were dragons that controlled the contenite, the sunrays, the mantle, the water, the rocks and the light or darkness. These were all dragons of nature. But there was one dragon that controls the bringing of life and the bringing of death, the bringing of torcher and the bringing of healing. Anatash explained that that dragon is the King of all of the dragon gods. That is why he is called the Eternal Dragon Spirit. No one on this planet has ever seen this golden dragon except the elders. Goten wondered if he would meet this Altamonte dragon god later on in his life. ********************* Finally they reached the other side of the north ocean. There was a beautiful white temple in the middle of a huge garden, which was where the elders lived. There were plant like arks over some other flower gardens; the temple had some bizarre writing on it:
Elders OF Planet Tribeta-sei
ANNA of the healing
COLONEL of the talented
EDNA of the legends
Have Great Respect for Your Ancient Ones!!
When the landing came, the Flying Musks lowered their heads to the ground and their spines curved, if it weren't for those horns for Goten to hang onto, he would have slid off of the beast's nose. There was a ruff jolt when their hooves came in contact with the ground and Goten was pretty sure that he would have been bucked off if the landing was any harder. Once they have landed in front of the temple and dismounted their flying Musks. Anatash turned to Goten and spoke in a serious tone of voice, "Goten you must understand that this is serious and that you must not do anything foolish in front of the elders. They are very wise and can see right through any lies that come out of your mouth. So watch yourself. Do you hear me?"
Goten nodded, "Yes mame."
Kristina squeezed his shoulder saying, "Promise us that you will not do anything foolish while in there. You swear?"
Goten nodded again, "I swear I will not do anything foolish."
Kristina and Anatash nodded and headed towards the front door, Goten following. They walked up the front steps and approached the big white door with golden swirls all over it. Anatash put her left hand on the left door and Kristina put her right hand on the right door and pushed the doors slowly open. The doors creaked as they opened revealing a dark room dimly lit. In fact there was hardly any light in the room. But you could see the details of the room. The floor, walls and the ceiling were made up of holy stone. There was a wide red carpet that led the way down to the other end of the room. There were torches on the walls and thousands of candles lining the walls as well as a few of them floating in the air. On the other end of the room were bunches of candles hudled close to each other make an half circle and in the middle of the circle were three old looking women each seated on a large black pillow each. They wore a different colored robe each: Silver, Bronze and Gold.
All of a sudden, Goten felt very nervous and scared. What would the elders do to him? He felt himself being led towards where the elders sat waiting, Anatash on his left and Kristina on his right. The little Cabbit wasn't with them anymore but was waiting for them outside the temple. As they approached he couldn't take his eyes off of the elders of this planet. As soon as they were within feet of them, both Anatash and Kristina knelt down on one knee, Anatash's right hand resting on his left shoulder and the other in a fist and resting on her chest, the same thing with Kristina only with her left hand on his right shoulder. They bowed their heads and addressed the elders.
"Elders of our tribes, we have brought before you the troubled soul of Planet Earth." They both spoke this with their heads bowed. Goten began to wonder if he should kneel as well so he did kneel down on one leg unsure about things.
There was some silence for a few minutes until the elder in the silver robe spoke up. "Ah yes, the young Saiya-jin hybrid has come. Welcome child of great potential."
Goten looked confused. "Um. I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't have any 'potential'."
"Of course you do, child. More then you can ever imagine." The elder in bronze laughed.
"I do?"
"Yes."
Goten tried to think out what she meant by that. The elder in bronze spoke to the two women on either side of him. "Anatash and Kristina-chan, both of you have done well. You may wait outside if you would, please." The elder waved her hand once; Kristina and Anatash had disappeared from his sides. He heard the sound of the doors on the other end of the room being closed. He looked back just in time for the doors to completely close leaving him in the temple with the three elders.
"Now young one we will discus your past, present and future." The elder in gold spoke.
Goten turned back towards them.
"You may sit properly, child." The one is silver told him. He shifted himself to sit on his ankles, and wait for further instructions.
"Now let each of us introduce ourselves. I am Edna, the leader of the legendary tribe. This is Colonel she is the leader of the talented tribe." She motioned to the one wearing a bronze robe. "And this is Anna, she is leader of the healing tribe." She motioned to the other one wearing silver. "And you are the lost soul of planet Earth. Son Goten is it?"
Goten nodded, "Yes mame."
"Now I want you to tell us if we are right. The reason you are a troubled soul is because you believe you aren't being loved by your family, mostly your father, is this correct?" Anna asked.
Goten's face fell solemn, he only nodded once while remembering what Kristina had said, 'They can see right through any lie that you say.'
"Your father seems to not want to spend time with you in any way, correct" Anna continued.
Goten inwardly grimaced as he remembered how his father was when the moon had returned all of a sudden. He only wanted to spend time with his mom and whenever I did spend time with him he acted like he wanted to be somewhere else. Goten's eyes stung with tears but he dare not cry in front of these elders. Again he nodded his head only once.
"And ever since your father returned from the nether world, your family and friends started to resent you as well."
Again Goten nodded his head, a single tear escaped his eyes and slowly made its way down his cheek. He angrily brushed it away.
A few minutes passed before Colonel spoke up. "The reason that you are here is to train and become a better fighter and to start a new life. You will go to our schools and learn to control that burning emotional potential you have within you just waiting to be released. You shall make friends, go on missions to save a certain beast or a certain planet, when you are old enough you will find a woman who may become your sole mate and to pretty soon start a family of your own. That is why we've brought you here to this holy world."
"But!"
Goten looked up once he heard this.
"Your future decides on the answer of a single question." Edna continued, "That question is 'Do you want to go back to the planet Earth?'"
Really, Goten had no idea.
What will Goten's decision be? We he want to go back to the Planet Earth to live a lonely life? Or will he choose to stay and start a new life, we shall see on the next chapter; Goten's decision.
