Dragon's of Tribeta-sei
Part 1 A New Life
Chapter 17 The Shape Shifting Dragon
There was no way that any one from the planet Tribeta-sei could possibly do to bring Pine back from the dead. It was hurting Toma a lot to think that once Bow dies, that he will be alone once again. You see he was an orphan and hardly had any friends and now thanks to E-wan and his damned suggestion of having Both Bow and Pine join him and Goten on a trip to this dangerous planet, Pine had to sacrifice his life to get rid of all the Obetijins. Why did he have to use the Death Star technique? Why? He couldn't completely control that technique and yet he used it anyways. It's just not fair! Toma was furious and muttered several curses on E-wan for making them do this. He was the only survivor of this whole trip or he will be soon. Bow's injury was very serious, true that nothing vital got hit but Toma has tried everything to stop the bleeding and all of the time was in vain, the computer on Borka his shape shifting dragon told him that Bow will die in three hours from now. There was nothing that he could do now.
Toma sat down on the window seat and watched his friend sleep on the emergency bed, his injury was heavily bandaged but even now the bleeding will not stop and it will only be a matter of time before he dies and joins Pine in heaven. Tears formed at the brim of Toma's eyes as he remembered his first time meeting with Bow and Pine when they were really young.
(FLASH BACK)
Everything was black and white colored; he was having another nightmare about loosing his parents on their last trip to another planet to aniolate the evil beings that lived there so that they could sell the planet.
Planet Aisea-sei, home planet of the Aisea-jins or in other words Freezer's clan, they were some of the strongest evil beings out there and that planet would have to take a lot of people to take on, Toma's parents and another group of fighters went to take that planet on but none came back alive. He could see himself standing there unable to move and watch his parents get murdered right before his very eyes. His father was holding his mother and there were flames all around them.
"KAASAN! TOUSAN!"
Then one of the Aisea-jins appeared in his vision and he watched in horror as they shot an energy blast right through their heart and then turned their bodies to ash.
"NNNOOO YOU BASTARDS!"
He saw himself charge them but then found himself running through endless darkness and his parents were no longer in his line of site. Then when he turned around he found himself about to be blasted to another dimension by the Aisa-jin King Cold. that was when he woke up in the middle of class at the crystal school on planet Tribeta-sei.
Toma was about 8 years old back then was when he first met Bow and Pine, they were already friends by then but that was when he first met them and soon started to like them because the found way to make him smile and make him feel good. They were great friendly people to offer there help in finding him some happiness and helping him to stop thinking about his parents and to let him no that he does have some friends. It was such a wonderful feeling to have some real friends, to have someone to talk to, to have someone that will always be there for him especially when he really needed it.
(END OF FLASH BACK)
There is no way that Toma will ever forget that happy moment in his life. He had finally found some friends of his own and had lived a happy life with them. But then when Goten came into his life. The gleam in his eyes was different for Goten; it was different then what he had for Bow and Pine. He remembered their first meeting clearly about three years ago.
(FLASH BACK)
Anatash answered him. "I am what is called a 'healer' because I and my kind have the gift to heal not only ourselves and others. Kristina is what is called a 'talented' fighter because she and others that looks like her or yourself poses magical abilities, along with skills and talents beyond your imagination. The elders gave each tribe a simple title to tell us apart."
Goten nodded in understanding then a huge Son Grin appeared on his face as he started to get more and more exited about this place. "COOL! When do I start? When??"
The two adults laughed, "you will start tomorrow after a good sleep. Ah, here we are." Anatash said as they came to a stop in front of a two-story building. They walked up to the front door and walked on in. inside was nice a warm and cozy. The walls were roundest with torches that lit the room. There were beanbags of all colors on the floor around a fire, there was no TV but there was a radio. There several board games stacked in the room. There was a doorway, which had a staircases going up to the next floor. There was a small kitchen with a whole wall covered in refrigerators that never run out of food. The place was actually somewhat messy too.
The two adults seemed to scowl in discus about the mess. But then Kristina put a hand on the side of he mouth and called out, "BOYS? TOMA? PINE? BOW? ARE YOU GUYS HERE?"
A few moments later there were there was a crash sounding from the floor above, footsteps followed as a single boy descended from the stairs. Goten held back a gasp because that kid looked just like Trunks did only with black hair.
He looked to be about 3 years older then Goten. But he looked just like Trunks it almost made Goten wonder if his best friend had come with him to this world.
"Ah, Toma. Are you the only one home?" Kristina asked
Toma nodded and explained, "Pine and Bow should be out there sparing. I was just doing some 'experiments' in my room. Anyway what can I do for you guys?"
Kristina nodded, "I hope you remembered that note that you might be getting another room mate?"
Once again he nodded, "Yes I remember. Kristi-san you should know that I'm not the forgetful one of the group, Pine is the forgetful one. I am the genius, I thought you'd know that by now." He said giving her one of his charming grins.
"Yes of coarse, anyway, I like you to meet your new room mate, Son Goten." Kristina said pulling Goten around in front of her seems how he was slightly hiding in the shadows.
Toma looked him up and down before he smiled a smile that resembled Vegeta's smile.
"Goten this is Toma Beetle, he is the head of the house and the oldest of the group of boys that live here. You will be staying with him and his friends until you are about 15 years old, by then you will be moved to another house for older kids."
Goten smiled shyly and held out a hand, "Nice to meet you."
Toma smirked and shook his hand.
"Well we have done our duty, so we shall leave you now. We have missions to go on and other things. We will see you around Goten." Kristina said as she turned to go. Anatash turned to Toma, "Toma, be sure to show him around. He is new here so please make him feel comfortable."
Toma saluted her as she also left, closing the door behind her. ***************** Goten sighed as he turned back to Toma and wondered what to say.
Toma turned to the nearest refrigerator and pulled out a great deal of food. "You hungry kid?"
Goten stomach growled hungrily to answer him, Goten flushed in slight embarrassment.
"I'll take that as a yes." He went on about making several sandwiches, which were done in a matter of minutes. He motioned for Goten to come with him and sit down in one of the beanbags and started to eat. Goten adopted his father's eating habits and dug in. Toma didn't see to be the least bit surprised about his eating habits because he has eaten like that once or twice.
"So kid, which part of the country are you from?"
Goten hardly paused while he ate and answered him, "Earth."
Toma raised an eyebrow and stared at him, "Earth? You mean the Planet Earth? Wow, I guess that means that you were an outcast. Right?"
This time Goten did stop eating. His eyes were hidden underneath his bangs as he sat there clutching his fists on his lap. He sighed sadly and nodded once.
"Man. what did you do?"
"It wasn't me that did anything. my family seemed to not want me anymore."
Toma grimaced, "Oh. Ow. Sorry I asked."
There were a few minutes of silence.
"So, uh. What are you? If you were born on the Planet Earth, then you must be human right?"
Goten sighed with relief because he thought that Toma would push that subject and answered him, "I'm half human, half Saiya-jin."
"Cool, We don't get that many hybrids around here. How strong are ya?"
"Can you become a super Saiya-jin?"
Toma nodded and Goten continued, "Well I can reach a level beyond that of a Super Saiya-jin, its called Super Saiya-jin Level 2."
Toma grinned, "That is very powerful for someone your age, speaking of which, how old are ya?"
"I'm 10."
"Man, you are really powerful for someone your age."
(END OF FLASH BACK)
Goten was able to become a Super Saiya-jin 2! And at such a young age too! It made him feel pleased to have a friend as strong as Goten was. It made him realize what kind of life he has waiting for him in his future so he trained to try and get as strong as Goten. He was quite shocked at Goten's mental problem that started when his father stopped spending time with him. From experience, Goten's emotional power was unbelievable. He almost got killed why trying to fend off Goten's attacks when he changed in the GR like that. But he was willing to help Goten get through this nasty time and those nasty memories. In a way he was angry that the elders had to have Goten train with Dr. Vercelli's place for the last three years. It would have been nice to know what kind of training he went through. but now there no telling because according to the Obetijin, Goten was dead too.
But Toma refused to believe that, yes he is going to loose his first two friends but there is no way that he is going to loose this friend, Goten had a type of influence on him that if he had died then he would feel so bad that he would commit suicide just to see him again. NO! He cannot be dead too! He was a Super Saiya-jin 2 and these Obetijins were no match for Toma when he became an ascended Super Saiya-jin and he wasn't even at the level of a Super Saiya-jin 2. There is no way that Goten is dead.
With that thought in mind he turned and gazed out the window with pleading eyes, "Goten you can't be dead! You just can't! I know that you will come back alive! You just have too or I don't know what I will do." *********************** Speaking of Goten, he was still slowly walking for a wall to use to climb out of this cave with but so far came up with none, he must had been walking for hours but he did not know because it was so dark that he couldn't see a thing so he kept to his slow pace in this endless dark tunnel. His body ached and protested with every step he took. He wanted to just collapse and stay down but his pride wouldn't let him and so continued on. Then all of a sudden he felt something happen and his heart stopped. For some reason he felt shocked and sadder at the same time. He didn't know why until he felt it. Pine's chi. it just disappeared. and Bow's chi was now slowly fading. something happened back at the camp, something terrible too!
He broke into a run determined to fine the exit as quickly as possible. Then after about 5 minutes of running he tripped on a rock and landed head first into the hard rock below him. Ouch that had to hurt. he groaned in frustration and tried to push himself up again but his body will not move, not even his tail would move he was that exalsted.
Then at that precise moment he heard a noise that sounded like a growl and next thing he knew was that there appeared to be some kind of animal right beside him and so out of instinct he jumped to his feet and adopted a battle stance but stopped and starred confusingly at the small creature that stood before him. There was strangely enough light so that he could see what it was. It was that red dragon that he saw before he went into battle earlier. He stared at in confusingly.
There before him was a dragon about the size of a Bob Cat; it had bright red scales and bright twin yellow orbs for eyes. It had to be at least be 2 ½ feet tall and 3 feet long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. It had long scaly legs with killing claws on all four feet. It had a snout with a mouth full of sharp teeth and had a pair of wings though he couldn't tell how big of a wingspan it had. The small dragon gazed at him in unhidden curiosity. It was such a beautiful thing to Goten; you don't miss a chance like this to see such a wonderful creature such as this. But this got Goten thinking about what E-wan had said.
"The main part of this mission is to find the red shape shifting dragon. There should only be one dragon on Planet Obeteo and that is the dragon that you and your friends need to find and bring back with you. if you survive that is."
Was this that shape-shifter that E-wan was talking about? He then reached out as if to touch the dragon, he showed no fear of the small dragon because he was used to playing with dinosaurs and other large reptiles when he was young back on Earth. The dragon sniffed his fingers before biting them.
"ITE! You don't have to byte me. I am not going to hurt you."
Again he reached out and touched the dragon's neck gently. Its scales were smooth yet rough, but the dragon held still before it sniffed his arm again and took a step forward and sniffed Goten's body and face before it started licking him. Almost as if it was accepting or something. Goten couldn't help but giggle, he had way to many encounters with animals that like to wash his face, neck and ears. He slumped to sit down but the dragon hand climbed up on top of him and continued its assault on the thirteen year old. "Stop it. that tickles." Eventually the dragon stopped and then started to pull on Goten's sleeve.
"You want me to get on you back?" Then a thought entered his head, "Are you going to give me a ride out of this place?"
The dragon tugged harder but paused to answer the question by nodding once and licking his hand affectionately. Goten smiled weakly then climbed up onto the animals back. It was a good thing that Goten wasn't that big yet otherwise he wouldn't be able to ride the Two in a half-foot tall dragon. Once he was on, the dragon spread out it wings gracefully. They had to be at least three feet in length each. And then with a leap into the air the dragon beated it's wings and they took off into the air. They went up and up and up until Goten saw daylight and grinned as the cool air brushed his face as they exited the den. Then he asked the dragon to take him off in the direction of his camp so that he could find out what happened. ************************ It had been hours since Toma killed the last of the Obetijins. He had tended his Bow to the best of his abilities. Right now he was using Borka as a shield from the scorching sunlight outside. He wasn't going to return home until he was sure that Goten was back and alive. He kept gazing at the sky out the window searching for any sign of Goten. But his thoughts were interrupted by a weak moan from the Bow, he turned around and approached his friends bed side.
"Bow? Are you awake?"
"A.ah. What happened?" Bow asked weakly while his eyes were still closed.
"The Obetijins are all destroyed. They told me that Goten was dead but I don't believe it. How are you feeling?"
"N.not very good. I don't think I have much longer to live. right?"
Silence was the only thing that answered the dieing warrior. "I'm right aren't I? Man I'm sorry to do this to you in all."
"Don't talk. Save your strength." Toma pleaded with his friend. But it appeared that Bow had already lost conscious again. He sighed and was about to say something soothingly to his friend when he chi senses went off and he could feel someone no two someone's approaching the ship. They were weak chis. He turned and headed outside to get a better look. In the distance he could see and object with wings flying towards the camp. He growled as he thought that it was a surviving Obetijin but before he could shoot it down he heard a weak but exited voice.
"OI TOMA!" That voice was too familiar to not be real. A relieved smile came onto his face as tears formed of joy. Goten was alive.
"TOMA!" Goten hollered while waving his hand.
"GOTEN!" Toma hollered as he took to the air to meet his friend half way. He was only slightly started to find that Goten was riding on a medium size red dragon with twin yellow orbs for eyes. "Goten is this?"
"Yea, I think it's the shape-shifter that we're supposed to bring back to the Tribeta-sei."
"No wonder it took you so long to get back. Are you alright, your injured." Toma said noticing Goten's mangled body.
"Hia, I'll live just need some food and rest. But what happened here Toma? I felt something bad happened here." Goten got strait to the point.
Toma downcast expression was more then enough of an answer that something terrible happened while Goten was gone. "It's a long story. C'mon lets go inside and I'll tend to those wombs of yours." ************************* Goten clenched his hands into fists as he heard the story of Pine's death and now Bow is dieing too. He clentched his teeth and shut his eyes tightly. This was bad because he once again hadn't been there for his friends when they needed the help badly.
"And that's the whole story. Pine's dead. Bow is dieing, I have tried everything to stop the bleeding but all of my attempts were in vain. He will die in two hours from now." Toma finished while looking at the floor.
'I can't believe this! This is all my fought! I should have destroying that Obetijin when I had the chance. I can't believe that I've done it again. I wasn't there for them. I turning into my father with realizing it.' he clenched his fists tighter until blood dripped off of them. He trembled in anger and regret How could he have been so weak again? He got up and walked over to the second bed, which had a body that was covered up by a sheet. And after a little hesitation pulled the sheet off the head of the body. Toma had washed Pines body and made it look like he was just sleeping. But Goten knew that he was dead.
Toma watched Goten's expression, he watched as tears formed and fell down his cheeks and dripped off his chin onto Pine's face. He watches sadly as Goten started to break down again. But then noticed his chi was steadily rising at a rapid rate. Then he remembered Goten's emotional power. "Goten?"
Goten back away from the body before letting out a piercing scream as a beam of brilliant golden light shot out of him towards the sealing, Luckily Borka formed a hole there so that he wouldn't get injured and the beam headed strait into the sky. Goten sobbed loudly to the heavens, meanwhile outside, cliffs and mountains were starting to crumble at Goten's rage. But he did no more then this. The beam vanished a few minutes later and he just stood their trembling crying in such a way that told Toma that the rumors of this Being Goten's father's fought was true. Goten suffers great mental agony because of the question weather his father loved him or not.
Slowly Toma got up and approached Goten and brought the younger boy into an embrace. There were no words no crying just a soothing hug. Nothing was said after that as Toma told Borka to set a course to the planet Tribeta- sei. But Goten told him to stop just out in space just above this planet. And once Borka did this, Goten headed over to the door and opened it and for the first time in his life felt hate much greater then any hate he had ever felt in his life. He powered up into a Super Saiya-jin and then prepared to destroy the planet Obeteo.
Bright energy crackled around his form as he raised his hand to aim at the planet then cuffed his hands at his hips and started chant. "KA ME HA ME HA!" it was a big one as he shot it towards the planet. And for the first time this technique was now used to destroy a planet instead of used to protect people. But the creatures that lived on this planet he could not forgive for what they had done and the name Obeteo just made him feel sick so this planet was sent to the next dimension. It started to bubble up like boiling water and turned blue, yellow and pink and purple before it exploded leaving nothing but empty space in its place. Goten's form could still be seen watching the area where the planet once was and oddly a breeze past by and rustled his hair making the icy expression ten times more colder.
Well that is the end of Planet Obeteo! Now our hero's are on their way back to Planet Tribeta-sei. Will Bow die in peace and can Goten ever Forgive himself? Find out on the next chapter, Bow's Slow Death!
Part 1 A New Life
Chapter 17 The Shape Shifting Dragon
There was no way that any one from the planet Tribeta-sei could possibly do to bring Pine back from the dead. It was hurting Toma a lot to think that once Bow dies, that he will be alone once again. You see he was an orphan and hardly had any friends and now thanks to E-wan and his damned suggestion of having Both Bow and Pine join him and Goten on a trip to this dangerous planet, Pine had to sacrifice his life to get rid of all the Obetijins.

Everything was black and white colored; he was having another nightmare about loosing his parents on their last trip to another planet to aniolate the evil beings that lived there so that they could sell the planet.
Planet Aisea-sei, home planet of the Aisea-jins or in other words Freezer's clan, they were some of the strongest evil beings out there and that planet would have to take a lot of people to take on, Toma's parents and another group of fighters went to take that planet on but none came back alive.

The gleam in his eyes was different for Goten; it was different then what he had for Bow and Pine. He remembered their first meeting clearly about three years ago.

Anatash answered him. "I am what is called a 'healer' because I and my kind have the gift to heal not only ourselves and others. Kristina is what is called a 'talented' fighter because she and others that looks like her or yourself poses magical abilities, along with skills and talents beyond your imagination. The elders gave each tribe a simple title to tell us apart."
Goten nodded in understanding then a huge Son Grin appeared on his face as he started to get more and more exited about this place. "COOL! When do I start? When??"
The two adults laughed, "you will start tomorrow after a good sleep. Ah, here we are." Anatash said as they came to a stop in front of a two-story building. They walked up to the front door and walked on in. inside was nice a warm and cozy. The walls were roundest with torches that lit the room. There were beanbags of all colors on the floor around a fire, there was no TV but there was a radio. There several board games stacked in the room. There was a doorway, which had a staircases going up to the next floor. There was a small kitchen with a whole wall covered in refrigerators that never run out of food. The place was actually somewhat messy too.
The two adults seemed to scowl in discus about the mess. But then Kristina put a hand on the side of he mouth and called out, "BOYS? TOMA? PINE? BOW? ARE YOU GUYS HERE?"
A few moments later there were there was a crash sounding from the floor above, footsteps followed as a single boy descended from the stairs. Goten held back a gasp because that kid looked just like Trunks did only with black hair.
He looked to be about 3 years older then Goten. But he looked just like Trunks it almost made Goten wonder if his best friend had come with him to this world.

"Goten this is Toma Beetle, he is the head of the house and the oldest of the group of boys that live here. You will be staying with him and his friends until you are about 15 years old, by then you will be moved to another house for older kids."
Goten smiled shyly and held out a hand, "Nice to meet you."
Toma smirked and shook his hand.
"Well we have done our duty, so we shall leave you now. We have missions to go on and other things. We will see you around Goten." Kristina said as she turned to go. Anatash turned to Toma, "Toma, be sure to show him around. He is new here so please make him feel comfortable."
Toma saluted her as she also left, closing the door behind her. ***************** Goten sighed as he turned back to Toma and wondered what to say.

This time Goten did stop eating. His eyes were hidden underneath his bangs as he sat there clutching his fists on his lap. He sighed sadly and nodded once.
"Man. what did you do?"
"It wasn't me that did anything. my family seemed to not want me anymore."
Toma grimaced, "Oh. Ow. Sorry I asked."
There were a few minutes of silence.
"So, uh. What are you? If you were born on the Planet Earth, then you must be human right?"
Goten sighed with relief because he thought that Toma would push that subject and answered him, "I'm half human, half Saiya-jin."
"Cool, We don't get that many hybrids around here. How strong are ya?"
"Can you become a super Saiya-jin?"
Toma nodded and Goten continued, "Well I can reach a level beyond that of a Super Saiya-jin, its called Super Saiya-jin Level 2."
Toma grinned, "That is very powerful for someone your age, speaking of which, how old are ya?"
"I'm 10."
"Man, you are really powerful for someone your age."
(END OF FLASH BACK)
Goten was able to become a Super Saiya-jin 2! And at such a young age too! It made him feel pleased to have a friend as strong as Goten was. It made him realize what kind of life he has waiting for him in his future so he trained to try and get as strong as Goten.

There is no way that Goten is dead.
With that thought in mind he turned and gazed out the window with pleading eyes, "Goten you can't be dead! You just can't! I know that you will come back alive! You just have too or I don't know what I will do." *********************** Speaking of Goten, he was still slowly walking for a wall to use to climb out of this cave with but so far came up with none, he must had been walking for hours but he did not know because it was so dark that he couldn't see a thing so he kept to his slow pace in this endless dark tunnel.

He broke into a run determined to fine the exit as quickly as possible. Then after about 5 minutes of running he tripped on a rock and landed head first into the hard rock below him.

It was such a beautiful thing to Goten; you don't miss a chance like this to see such a wonderful creature such as this. But this got Goten thinking about what E-wan had said.
"The main part of this mission is to find the red shape shifting dragon. There should only be one dragon on Planet Obeteo and that is the dragon that you and your friends need to find and bring back with you. if you survive that is."
Was this that shape-shifter that E-wan was talking about? He then reached out as if to touch the dragon, he showed no fear of the small dragon because he was used to playing with dinosaurs and other large reptiles when he was young back on Earth. The dragon sniffed his fingers before biting them.
"ITE! You don't have to byte me. I am not going to hurt you."
Again he reached out and touched the dragon's neck gently. Its scales were smooth yet rough, but the dragon held still before it sniffed his arm again and took a step forward and sniffed Goten's body and face before it started licking him. Almost as if it was accepting or something. Goten couldn't help but giggle, he had way to many encounters with animals that like to wash his face, neck and ears. He slumped to sit down but the dragon hand climbed up on top of him and continued its assault on the thirteen year old. "Stop it. that tickles." Eventually the dragon stopped and then started to pull on Goten's sleeve.
"You want me to get on you back?" Then a thought entered his head, "Are you going to give me a ride out of this place?"
The dragon tugged harder but paused to answer the question by nodding once and licking his hand affectionately. Goten smiled weakly then climbed up onto the animals back. It was a good thing that Goten wasn't that big yet otherwise he wouldn't be able to ride the Two in a half-foot tall dragon. Once he was on, the dragon spread out it wings gracefully. They had to be at least three feet in length each. And then with a leap into the air the dragon beated it's wings and they took off into the air. They went up and up and up until Goten saw daylight and grinned as the cool air brushed his face as they exited the den. Then he asked the dragon to take him off in the direction of his camp so that he could find out what happened. ************************ It had been hours since Toma killed the last of the Obetijins. He had tended his Bow to the best of his abilities. Right now he was using Borka as a shield from the scorching sunlight outside. He wasn't going to return home until he was sure that Goten was back and alive. He kept gazing at the sky out the window searching for any sign of Goten. But his thoughts were interrupted by a weak moan from the Bow, he turned around and approached his friends bed side.
"Bow? Are you awake?"
"A.ah. What happened?" Bow asked weakly while his eyes were still closed.
"The Obetijins are all destroyed. They told me that Goten was dead but I don't believe it. How are you feeling?"
"N.not very good. I don't think I have much longer to live. right?"
Silence was the only thing that answered the dieing warrior. "I'm right aren't I? Man I'm sorry to do this to you in all."
"Don't talk. Save your strength." Toma pleaded with his friend. But it appeared that Bow had already lost conscious again. He sighed and was about to say something soothingly to his friend when he chi senses went off and he could feel someone no two someone's approaching the ship. They were weak chis. He turned and headed outside to get a better look. In the distance he could see and object with wings flying towards the camp. He growled as he thought that it was a surviving Obetijin but before he could shoot it down he heard a weak but exited voice.
"OI TOMA!" That voice was too familiar to not be real. A relieved smile came onto his face as tears formed of joy. Goten was alive.
"TOMA!" Goten hollered while waving his hand.
"GOTEN!" Toma hollered as he took to the air to meet his friend half way. He was only slightly started to find that Goten was riding on a medium size red dragon with twin yellow orbs for eyes. "Goten is this?"
"Yea, I think it's the shape-shifter that we're supposed to bring back to the Tribeta-sei."
"No wonder it took you so long to get back. Are you alright, your injured." Toma said noticing Goten's mangled body.
"Hia, I'll live just need some food and rest. But what happened here Toma? I felt something bad happened here." Goten got strait to the point.
Toma downcast expression was more then enough of an answer that something terrible happened while Goten was gone. "It's a long story. C'mon lets go inside and I'll tend to those wombs of yours." ************************* Goten clenched his hands into fists as he heard the story of Pine's death and now Bow is dieing too. He clentched his teeth and shut his eyes tightly. This was bad because he once again hadn't been there for his friends when they needed the help badly.
"And that's the whole story. Pine's dead. Bow is dieing, I have tried everything to stop the bleeding but all of my attempts were in vain. He will die in two hours from now." Toma finished while looking at the floor.
'I can't believe this! This is all my fought! I should have destroying that Obetijin when I had the chance. I can't believe that I've done it again. I wasn't there for them. I turning into my father with realizing it.' he clenched his fists tighter until blood dripped off of them. He trembled in anger and regret How could he have been so weak again? He got up and walked over to the second bed, which had a body that was covered up by a sheet. And after a little hesitation pulled the sheet off the head of the body. Toma had washed Pines body and made it look like he was just sleeping. But Goten knew that he was dead.
Toma watched Goten's expression, he watched as tears formed and fell down his cheeks and dripped off his chin onto Pine's face. He watches sadly as Goten started to break down again. But then noticed his chi was steadily rising at a rapid rate. Then he remembered Goten's emotional power. "Goten?"
Goten back away from the body before letting out a piercing scream as a beam of brilliant golden light shot out of him towards the sealing, Luckily Borka formed a hole there so that he wouldn't get injured and the beam headed strait into the sky. Goten sobbed loudly to the heavens, meanwhile outside, cliffs and mountains were starting to crumble at Goten's rage. But he did no more then this. The beam vanished a few minutes later and he just stood their trembling crying in such a way that told Toma that the rumors of this Being Goten's father's fought was true. Goten suffers great mental agony because of the question weather his father loved him or not.
Slowly Toma got up and approached Goten and brought the younger boy into an embrace. There were no words no crying just a soothing hug. Nothing was said after that as Toma told Borka to set a course to the planet Tribeta- sei. But Goten told him to stop just out in space just above this planet. And once Borka did this, Goten headed over to the door and opened it and for the first time in his life felt hate much greater then any hate he had ever felt in his life. He powered up into a Super Saiya-jin and then prepared to destroy the planet Obeteo.
Bright energy crackled around his form as he raised his hand to aim at the planet then cuffed his hands at his hips and started chant. "KA ME HA ME HA!" it was a big one as he shot it towards the planet. And for the first time this technique was now used to destroy a planet instead of used to protect people. But the creatures that lived on this planet he could not forgive for what they had done and the name Obeteo just made him feel sick so this planet was sent to the next dimension. It started to bubble up like boiling water and turned blue, yellow and pink and purple before it exploded leaving nothing but empty space in its place. Goten's form could still be seen watching the area where the planet once was and oddly a breeze past by and rustled his hair making the icy expression ten times more colder.
Well that is the end of Planet Obeteo! Now our hero's are on their way back to Planet Tribeta-sei. Will Bow die in peace and can Goten ever Forgive himself? Find out on the next chapter, Bow's Slow Death!
