Fallen Hero
Chapter 7
Announcer dude: When we last left the authoress' ranting, CMG attempted to steal money from Kroger using a stunt from Office Space. Unfortunately, she was left with an evil laptop that Zi-Kita cursed and was trying to destroy it in futile. We now join you with the continuance of one of the most insane side-stories ever created...
*Scene is in wide screen view as CMG (still in her Super Bitchin' 4 form) is breathing hard with sweat coming down her face as the 'camera' follows her angry gaze towards the evil laptop rather quickly*
Computer: *mockingly as a picture of Santa shows up on the screen* YOU'VE BEEN A NAUGHTY LITTLE GIRL THIS YEAR! NO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR YOU!
CMG: *curses* Damn. Even Goku's 10x Kamehameha didn't work.
*flashback to a few minutes ago...*
Computer: *techno music in the background* ALL YOUR BASE! BASE! BASE! ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! ALL YOUR BASE! BASE! BASE! ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
CMG: *left eye twitches in annoyance* THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! TAKE A JUBILEE KAMEHAMEHA! *the blast hits the laptop as the insane authoress screams rather angrily as Super 17 watches on with Super 4 Goku on the sidelines*
Super 4 Goku: *tail twitches* Amateur.
Super 17: *looks rather bored* She's doing it all wrong!
CMG: *stops blast*
Computer: *re-forms* IS THAT YOUR BEST SHOT, BITCH?
CMG: *face vaults*
*present...*
CMG: What in the fuck can destroy this thing? *sits down in Indian style as she reverts to normal*
Computer: ARE YOU GIVING UP?
CMG: *silence*
Computer: ?
*A tumbleweed rolls across the stage as CMG's eyes suddenly open and she transforms into a giant Golden Oozaru*
CMG: *roars*
Computer: !
*Other Realm place thingy...*
Scrix: WTF?
Zi-Kita: Clever. She envisioned the full earth in her mind. Now this should be interesting.
Karis: If she manages to destroy it, I won't be surprised.
Zi-Kita: I already told you I put a curse on that thing. No matter how many times she tries to destroy it, it will never be completely destroyed, unless...
Infr: Unless what?
Zi-Kita: I forgot. *Demona suddenly bolts upright*
Demona: Does taking out the batteries destroy the laptop?
Zi-Kita: Oh yeah. Damn. I forgot about that.
*Back on the battlefield...*
CMG: *has the laptop in her hands as the giant finger pulls out the battery and explodes in her face*
*Other World*
Everyone: O_o
*Battlefield*
CMG: *lying in a crater burned and back to normal almost entirely nude, save a few scraps of cloth falling on the 'naughty' parts to keep hentai's at bay* Damn laptop. I don't own Dragon Ball Z or anything else mentioned in this series. If I did, then I wouldn't have laptops trying to destroy me. Now leave me alone and read on, peeps! *passes out*
________________________________________________________________________
Zi-Kita was not pleased that Earth was not destroyed. His plan was to destroy every last bit of evidence that would remind the Earth-raised Saiya-jin of his home and family, but he failed to complete the task. He knew that Tronikor's power was limited and that Goku, or Kakarotto would remember his family. Knowing that his father was with him made the whole thing worse and he knew if there was a father-son bond, his plans would be ruined.
'Soon, this universe shall fear the Saiya-jins!' thought Zi-Kita as he hovered over the documents that littered the table. On one of the documents, an alternate mission to destroy Earth was down and the time the attack would take place would be days after Bardock is to be killed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back on the spaceship, Bardock held Kakarotto in his arms as a faint aura surrounded both of them. They were both unconscious for quite sometime as they were unaware of Zi-Kita's plans or anything else. As the door hissed open, Bardock woke and instinctively lunged at the person entering the room. Pinning the Saiya-jin to the ground, he was about to attack when he saw who it was.
/Scrix?/ said Bardock as he let him up. /How did you get here?/
/There's no time to explain,/ said Scrix. /You need to re-establish the bond between your son right now./
/Why? What's wrong?/ said Bardock.
/Your life is in jeopardy and Brolly has notified that when they reach Caduto, they were planning to execute you,/ said Bardock.
/Execute me?/ said Bardock as he hissed angrily. /That bastard!/
/There's no time to be angry at him,/ said Scrix. /We must act quickly./
/How do we re-establish the bond though?/ said Bardock as Scrix motioned him to sit.
/You must give your blood to him again and drink some of his,/ said Scrix. /He might resist though, so hold his nose if you have to./
/Right,/ said Bardock as he bit his hand and Scrix pried Kakarotto's mouth open. As the action was done, Kakarotto suddenly jerked away and lunged at Scrix. (A/N: Who said this was going to be an easy task?) Pinning Scrix to the ground, Kakarotto aimed an energy blast at the Saiya-jin God's head.
/What in the hell are you doing?/ growled Kakarotto warningly.
/If you must know, your life is in grave danger,/ said Scrix gravely as Kakarotto seemed unfazed.
/Only by you traitors,/ said Kakarotto.
/The only traitor is you,/ said Scrix. /Have you forgotten everything that Infr taught you?/
/Infr?/ said Kakarotto. /How dare you talk about a long-dead God?/
/He's not dead,/ said Bardock. /You forgotten your heritage./
/You lie!/ growled Kakarotto as he felt something telling him different inside of him. The energy blast dissipated as he shook his head angrily.
/You're denying it!/ said Bardock. /You do know, but you don't want to admit it!/
/Prove it then,/ said Kakarotto as he glared at his father.
/Drink my blood then,/ said Bardock.
/What does this have to.../ started Kakarotto.
/Just do it!/ yelled Bardock rather harshly at his son as Kakarotto looked at his father's hand as though it were diseased for a moment. Giving in, he bit down on Bardock's hand as the coppery blood touched his tongue a second time in his lifetime. Moments passed before Kakarotto stopped drinking and threw his hand back at him.
/Nothing happened,/ said Kakarotto.
/That's because you're still resisting,/ said Bardock.
/How can I when... I.../ said Kakarotto as he heard a heartbeat in his ears. Cringing in pain, he dropped his head as Bardock heard him whining like a wounded animal.
/What's going on?/ said Bardock.
/The bond's starting to reform,/ said Scrix. /Take some of his blood to finish it!/
/Right,/ said Bardock as he looked at his son for a moment. /Sorry, Kakarot, but this will only hurt for a moment./ With a growl, Bardock bit Kakarotto on the neck as his head snapped up. His eyes were pure white as a choking sound is heard from him before he passed out against his father's frame. 'Remember, Kakarot! Remember or I'll hunt you down when I die in the flames of hell!'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hours passed as the spaceship continued its scheduled flight towards Caduto. Brolly was bored as hell as he trained inside the gravity chamber for the past few hours. All of the men were easily defeated as his blood yearned for a real battle. Fighting the urge, he stalked off to find some food.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On another part of the spaceship, some stowaways were still debating in the cargo area what the next phase of attack would be as Goten noticed that Scrix still haven't returned.
"Where's Scrix anyway?" said Goten. "We haven't seen him since we got on the ship!"
"He's gone to find Bardock and Goku," said Piccolo. "They're both prisoners now and it will be a matter of time when we reach Caduto and face Zi-Kita."
"Man! And I wanted to try and find a way home!" said Gohan. "Videl's going to kill me if Pan's not home to do her homework!"
"Right now, the entire universe is at stake," said King Vegeta. "Whatever studies the young Saiya-jin has can wait until we stop Zi-Kita. If we do not fight him as an army, we will fall to his iron fist!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bardock held his son as the young Saiya-jin finally came to. His eyes no longer seemed to hold much malice in them as he looked around.
/Dad?/ said the Saiya-jin weakly before he found himself pinned.
/Which God is the God you preach?/ said Bardock.
/Infr,/ said the Saiya-jin as Bardock released his son. /Why are you acting so weird?/
/I was making sure you were my son again,/ said Bardock.
/Your son?/ said Goku confused. /Of course I'm your son!/
/After what you put Earth through, everyone's worried about you,/ said Scrix. /Are you really Goku or Kakarotto?/
/Scrix, read my soul,/ said Goku.
/Read his soul.../ said Bardock as Scrix stared at the Saiya-jin. Goku felt uneasy as Scrix seemed to not trust him. Strangely, the Earth-raised Saiya-jin honestly didn't know what was going on. It felt as though he was left in the dark.
'Is he really telling the truth?' thought Scrix as he read the complex soul the Earth-raised Saiya-jin had. As he looked into Goku's eyes, he froze.
/Well?/ said Bardock.
/He seems to be unable to remember anything that Zi-Kita did to him,/ said Scrix.
/Zi-Kita?/ questioned Goku. /What are you talking about?/
/You mean you don't remember?/ said Bardock.
/Not really,/ said Goku.
/There's a possible theory that Zi-Kita created false memories inside Kakarot's head to confuse him,/ said Scrix. /If I were to revive them somehow.../
/?/ said Goku as Scrix grabbed a hold of the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's tail. /You better not be doing what I think you're about to do!/
/Relax, I'm not going to squeeze it,/ said Scrix as his fingers ruffled the fur. Goku's eyes suddenly shot wide open as a purr began to emit from the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's body.
/Not this shit again,/ said Bardock as he remembered what happened during the Trial of the Saiya-jins when his counterpart, Wingdof rubbed Goku's tail to try and coax his full power out of him.
/It's not the same thing,/ said Scrix as he read Bardock's thoughts. /This is slightly different since I'm trying to find someway of triggering Kakarotto's memories from deep within his mind./
/Kakarotto's memories?/ said Goku as he began to feel woozy. /What are you talking about?/
/What you should have done back during the Trial of the Saiya-jins: make you accept the darker nature that's buried deep within you,/ said Scrix as Goku growled.
/No! He almost killed Vegeta and my father! I can't trust him!/ said Goku.
'Are you afraid of me then?' a voice said deep within his soul. 'Admit it. I told you long ago that there was no escaping this destiny. You need to give in.'
'And become a monster?' thought Goku as he remembered what happened clearly during the trials as though it happened yesterday.
*** Flashback... ***
/Well, well,/ said Kakarotto with an evil smirk that rivaled Vegeta's. /What do we have here?/
Goku, Bardock, and Vegeta descended as the burning buildings seemed to pale in the light and wind of the three warriors auras. Goku stood in front with Bardock and Vegeta at his sides a bit behind him.
/Kakarotto, I will not fall again,/ said Vegeta. /This time, you will be defeated!/
/I doubt it,/ said Kakarotto as he slid into his battle pose. The other three warriors followed. /I will have what's mine, even by force!/
Kakarotto leapt off the ground as he flipped over the three Saiya-jin's heads and landed several feet away from them as his right foot dug a small trench on the ground before he shot forward to knock out Vegeta and Bardock from behind with his arms out. He grabbed Goku in a choking hug as he tried to break out of the choke.
/Kakarot!/ growled Vegeta as a dark aura surrounded Kakarotto and Goku.
/Give in!/ said Kakarotto as Goku's cry was heard. Blood squirted from his mouth as he felt lightheaded. /Why fight it when you know it's the right thing to do?/
/I... I refuse to become a part of you!/ gasped Goku.
/You will!/ hissed Kakarotto as tentacles of darkness wrap around Goku's body. /Don't deny what's in your Saiya-jin blood!/
/And become a monster?/ said Goku weakly as he consciousness began to waver. As he began to feel his strength leave him, he suddenly remembered his promise to Wingdof and the innocent part of Kakarotto that was stripped away from him. As Goku fought to remain conscious, he felt the blood from his mouth running down his neck as Kakarotto laughed.
/Trying not to die, are you?/ said Kakarotto. /You will eventually give in./
/I was wondering,/ said Goku. /Why do you want my power if you have so much already?/
/Because, you have the power that's keeping me away from being the supreme master of this universe,/ said Kakarotto. /The power your body possesses will make me much stronger and make me into a God!/
/Haven't you forgotten everything you once were?/ said Goku. /The Savior of Earth? The World's Strongest?/
/Those names don't suit me anymore,/ said Kakarotto as he leaned closer to Goku's ear. /I destroyed Earth and everyone. Even that harpy mate you love so dearly./
Goku blinked. /Why? They were helpless.../
/They aren't Saiya-jins,/ hissed Kakarotto as his hot breath felt like fire on Goku's ear. /They are weak and aren't worth protecting since they don't do anything for you in return. All they want is more petty items and shit that a Saiya-jin doesn't need. All they're good for is food and slaves./
/You monster,/ whispered Goku as he felt the last threads of his consciousness leaving him as the tentacles almost fully consumed his body. The fight that Goku was losing was draining what was left of his strength as he reverted back to his normal form and closed his eyes. Kakarotto grinned.
/You give in?/ said Kakarotto as the tentacles absorb Goku's body. /Excellent. You made it so much easier for me to absorb you.../
*** End flashback... ***
'Admit it,' said the voice. 'You are not complete. You don't know who you are and you are still missing a part of yourself.'
'A part of myself?' thought Goku as he lost consciousness.
/This will take some time,/ said Scrix. /Hopefully, things will work themselves out./
*** Mindscape... ***
/Two halves of one soul,/ echoed Kakarotto's voice as Goku looked around. /One cannot be complete without the other. If it's true, then you're not whole./
/Where are you?/ said Goku.
/Look in front of you,/ said Kakarotto as Goku gasped. Standing before him was a mirror image of himself in the Saiya-jin battle armor he saw his counterpart in when he was fighting against him. The spandex was black like the raven's feathers and the ebony chest plate seemed to almost absorb the light hitting it. /Surprised?/
/Why have you taken over my mind?/ said Goku.
/Your mind was suppressed by Zi-Kita's power through Tronikor himself,/ said Kakarotto. /There are things that not even Scrix knows that happened to me since the Dark Lord kept them inside my mind instead of yours. The only reason I was evil was because I was used this time around. He made sure that I forgotten who I was and made it harder on me to resist his power. The only thing that was keeping me from destroying everyone you love was the bond you have to Earth./
/How can I be sure I can trust you though?!/ yelled Goku angrily.
/We were used,/ said Kakarotto as he heard the Earth-raised Saiya-jin gasp. /You were used by your friends before to find all the Dragon Balls and I was used to try to conquer the entire universe. If you don't believe me, then there's no way I'm going to continue lending my strength to help you./
/Your strength?/ said Goku. /What do you mean? How are you giving me strength?/
/Are you as naïve as your friends say you are?/ said Kakarotto as he groans. /How else did you think you transformed into the forbidden level during the trials? I pushed you into it to make you realize that you aren't as innocent as people want you to think. I was trying to anger you enough so that you could remember your heritage entirely./
/What are you talking about?/ said Goku as Kakarotto walked towards the Earth-raised Saiya-jin and closed the gap. Goku was held by a mysterious force as Kakarotto seemed to bind him there so he wouldn't run away.
/This,/ said Kakarotto as he glared into Goku's eyes. Inside, the Earth-raised Saiya-jin saw the pride that Vegeta normally carried as the harsh eyes seemed like steel. Without realizing it, a connection was forming between the two as Goku saw his future if he didn't trust the complete, yet similar man standing before him. /Do you understand now? We are one, but you're going against everything Saiya-jin. If you don't accept me, then you'll die and not even Shenlong can revive you this time around./
/If what I saw is the truth, then can I trust you?/ said Goku as Kakarotto nodded.
/You're a Saiya-jin, not a human,/ said Kakarotto as the past seemed to reflect inside Goku's eyes. /Despite what creature we are, the humanity inside your heart is the thing that keeps me from harming or killing. Let go of the barriers and set me free or you'll be driven insane like Brolly was. Please, Goku.../
Goku was stunned as Kakarotto begged for him to trust him. If anything, it should have been the other way around as a shaky hand seemed to finally open the barriers that held back the power all along. In one swift movement, energy surrounded both Saiya-jins as the two merged into one body. As it happened, the truth of Goku's heritage was recovered as the other memories filtered into the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's mind. As the Saiya-jin felt a gentle tug against the walls of consciousness, he suddenly remembered something as he growled for Zi-Kita's death itself.
'I met Zi-Kita before back on Planet Vegeta! He was the one who killed my mother!'
*** Waking world... ***
/Kakarot!/ cried Bardock as Goku woke up and saw Brolly holding Scrix against the wall.
/Get off of him, Brolly,/ said Goku as he found himself in chains.
/You're in no position to tell me what to do,/ said Brolly. /You shall be personally killed by me for betraying Zi-Kita./
/What?/ cried Goku.
/Find the others and prepare them for Lord Zi-Kita!/ said Brolly as the guards split up.
/Damn you, Brolly,/ said Goku. /They're not involved./
/Kakarotto,/ said Brolly. /They were involved the moment they arrived on this ship. Now shut the fuck up and get your ass off this ship./

CMG: *still unconscious* Longest chapter ever. *wakes up in the crater where she passed out, except she's fully dressed* Good. My Instant Clothes Change is still working, but I need Mystic Pepsi! *Turles' spaceship lands*
Turles: Again?
CMG: Well excuse me, but I hate hospitals!
Turles: Fair enough man. *slides down the crater and opens the bottle labeled Mystic Pepsi on the side with the normal logo background*
CMG: Good. *Turles lifts the authoress' head as he pours the formula down her throat*
Turles: I don't see why you have to put up with them!
CMG: *gets up and stretches* I have my ways of torturing them though. *grins evilly as Turles quickly leaves before he's kidnapped* I have my ways. *laughs evilly* Until next time, you know what to do. Oh, and for the first time in this series: Outtakes!
*** Director's Outtakes from this chapter... (that were taken out due to the fact that it was close to killing the PG-13 rating out there)***
Bardock/Kakarotto Re-Bonding Moment Gone Horribly Wrong...
/Right,/ said Bardock as he looked at his son for a moment. /Sorry, Kakarot, but this will only hurt for a moment./ With a growl, Bardock bit Kakarotto on the neck as his head snapped up. His eyes were pure white as a choking sound is heard from him before he passed out against his father's frame. /I shouldn't have bit him in the neck./
/It's fine,/ said Scrix. /The wound will heal up./
/But I still feel bad since normally mated couples do that,/ said Bardock.
Kakarotto purred in his father's arms as his tail wrapped around Bardock's and coaxed a moan out of the warrior. Trying not to moan anymore, he felt rather uncomfortable as his son began to nip at his neck unconsciously before he drew blood from it. Hissing in pain, he growled as he tried to fight the urge to fuck him senseless.
/I get the idea,/ said Scrix, /but in a few hours, he'll remember everything./
/I hope so,/ said Bardock as a burning sensation flowed through his veins. 'Once this is over, you owe me a long sparring session...'
********
Goku/Kakarotto Encounter of a Second Kind...
/What are you talking about?/ said Goku as Kakarotto walked towards the Earth-raised Saiya-jin and closed the gap. Goku was held by a mysterious force as Kakarotto seemed to bind him there so he wouldn't run away.
/This,/ said Kakarotto as his mouth met his counterparts.
*******
Goku's Evil Idea... (and all of you out there thought he was a saint!)
/Kakarot?/ said Bardock as his son seemed to smile.
/Dad, I got an idea,/ said Goku as he grabbed some chains. /Scrix, go tell the others what's going on./
/On it,/ said Scrix as he left the room.
/You wouldn't dare put those on,/ said Bardock as Goku smirked as it seemed to rival Vegeta's at that very moment. /You've lost it!/
*** End Director's Cut ***
CMG: *shutters from the 'naughty' images the last outtake put in her demented mind* That was just wrong! Be grateful this didn't stick with the script or else we'd all be condemned!
Super 17: You are a harlot.
CMG: Shut-up, you crazy fool and get out of here before I demonstrate my ultimate attack that goes beyond ultimate attacks! *Super 17 walks away 'slowly' as CMG looks at reviewers with an evil smirk* Now aren't you glad I added the outtakes box? Review if you enjoy these outtakes and I'll continue adding them if you enjoyed them. *Super 17 and Super 4 Goku ambush her as static appears on the camera*
