Usagi was more scared then ever. She had fought many fights before, all with people she didn't care for. She had fought Haruka and Michiru. Then Mamoru. And Kiro. They had all been formidable enemies, until she surpassed them. But this time, she would be fighting her father, which was something she didn't want to do. He was so much stronger then she was. But somehow, she had known that his recent bitterness had been leading up to this. It was only a matter of time before he would strike. This is why she feared him. She never would have thought that her own father would treat her this way. She knew that Gohan and Goten had never been trained this way. "Daddy, why are you being so mean to me?" She didn't want to fight him, but she would if she had to.
Goku's heart melted inside his chest when he heard her say that. He hated this. Probably more so then she did. He knew that it was all just a show. It was just a way for her to reach her full potential. "Just shut up and prepare yourself." He planted his feet into the dirt as he stiffened his body to begin a power up.
'Dad, what are you doing? We never discussed this. Usagi can't fight you with that much power.' Gohan was the first to realize his father's rapid power boost. He knew exactly what he was up to. He looked over to Rei. She didn't look too happy. She had to be watched carefully for she was easily agitated. She hated it when people messed with anyone close to her. Much like Usagi, only she acted on her anger, while Usagi just coward.
Rei glared back at Gohan with eyes filled with fury. She couldn't believe what was about to take place. Goku had always struck her as a caring person. But it was all clear now. He was nothing of the sort. At least, not this Goku. But she would be sure to stay clear of him and make sure he didn't do anything. If this fight escalated too much, she would intervene. "What are you looking at Gohan? Why don't you watch your dad beat up your little sister."
Goku smirked as she stopped powering up. He stopped right before he made the transfer into Super Saiyan. He let his body relax as he moved his eyes to look over his shoulder. "Do you really not have that much faith in her Rei? Maybe I should stop now. I wouldn't want to waste any of my valuable time."
She moved her head back to Goku. "Yeah right! Usagi is going to wipe that smirk off your face and then some. You better watch yourself."
Goku smiled. He knew she was right. As long as his planned worked, she would become even a bit stronger then his Super Saiyan level. "Right. We'll see." He looked back to Usagi, who was currently at low power. "If you think you can beat me with that power, you're sadly mistaken. Hurry up. I'll give you five minutes. If you haven't done anything by then, then I will just have to see how poorly you fight without you being ready."
Usagi blinked. This was not like her father at all. He would never fight someone unless he knew that they were at their full potential. Something was up with him. Something had been up for the past ten days. Something that she didn't quite understand. She must have done something. But what could it have been? Her mother didn't scold her for anything at all. It was only her father and brother who had treated her like dirt.
She didn't know what to do. There was no way that her father would let her out of this confrontation. He was determined to fight her. On normal basis she would have been happy to. But this time it was for real. Her body began to tremble as the fear built up in her. "O…o…k." She didn't really get into a fighting stance. She was afraid that if she did, she would be attacked. Normally, he wouldn't attack until she was ready, but these weren't exactly normal circumstances. This was for real. She knew that if she could somehow call upon her power that she would be accepted again. But that was kind of a stupid reason to be accepted. She would have expected better from her father. She didn't want him to like her because she was powerful, but because of who she was. That obviously wouldn't happen. She just didn't understand why her real father had put up with her for so long. She had given him so much trouble. It made her sick to think that she was getting to know who he really was. What he really thought about her.
Makoto stepped forward to talk to Goku, but was pulled back by Ami. She looked back at her. Ami just shook her head. "We mustn't ruin things for her."
"But he's turned into a monster."
That's exactly what Goku felt like too. A monster. He felt like Frieza. "Hurry it up."
Usagi was surrounded by her golden aura as she powered up as far as she could. It wasn't sufficient to beat her father's. Somehow she was going to have to call out her hidden power. But that was one thing she didn't know how to do. She had done it twice before, but she had not been able to control it. "Finished."
Goku snorted. "Is that the best you can do? I know I've probably taught you better." Of course he didn't mean that.
"I'm sorry. I don't have anymore power."
"Well fine then. We'll just have to fight as you are." Without further conversation, Goku jumped into the air and fired multiple Ki blasts at his daughter over and over taking time out every now and then to fire at his son and the girls. He wanted them far enough away from the fight so he would have plenty of room to work. Plus, he didn't want them to get hurt. He was careful not to shoot at any of them.
Usagi wasn't nearly fast enough to dodge even half of the energy balls and took a large beating from them. She tried jumping to the side, but was met by yet another one, which forced her off her feet. She quickly bounced back to her feet and ignored the pain in her leg. There was no time to worry about that. 'What is he trying to do? Kill me?' Usagi gasped. She didn't even want to think of that.
Goku stopped his attack. The area was filled with a thick blanket of smoke. But the smoke caused no confusion in the fighter. He could fully sense her exact placement inside. He wondered how badly she was hurt. He knew she was. There was no way that she could dodge all of those. 'Hurry up Usagi.'
Usagi stayed in the smoke. She knew he could feel her but she didn't want him to see her body in which he had pretty much just torn up. He would probably laugh at her for being so weak. 'He's turned into Vejita. Why?' She didn't have time to worry about her thoughts. She was more concerned with finishing the fight. Though, she didn't know if she would come out of it alive or not. She pretty much had mixed feelings about this situation. On the one hand, she was angry. Angry with herself for not pushing herself hard enough to get her power to shine and angry with her father for treating her this way. On the other hand, she was frightened. Frightened of what her father might do to her.
She jumped into the air as she felt a giant ball of energy advancing at her. She got out of the way just in time to look down and see the giant crater that had been created by the ball. "Whoa…" She emerged from the cloud of smoke, which was now diffusing back into the air and ground, where her father was waiting for her with another attack.
As fast as he could, Goku raced for her with his fist, which had a blue aura of it's own around it. It crashed into his daughter's cheek, forcing her to loose her balance and fall back down to the ground. She landed with thud, causing loose dirt to fly out from underneath her. 'Ouch. Sorry Usagi.'
Usagi grabbed her lower back. He was seriously for real here. She had half thought that he wasn't serious, but he was. There was no way for her to fight him fairly. He was way too much more powerful then she was. There was nothing she could do. It was impossible for her to make a hit on him at this point. He was much stronger and faster. 'Why, why, why, why?' She looked up as she could feel him approaching her at an unthinkably rapid speed. 'How am I supposed to fight that?' She got onto her knees and tried to crawl away.
Goku cringed when he thought about what he was about to do next. He knew it was risky, but he knew it would help her along her way. He just hoped that something would happen and the girls would step in soon. This was to help them too. He wanted to test out their limits also. It was a horrible and cruel way to do it, but when you have no other grounds to do it on, this is the only way. He couldn't just force them to become powerful. He reached out and grabbed her tail, making her freeze in her spot.
She had felt his hand coming nearer even before he had grabbed her. But there was nothing she could have done to prevent it. Before she even realized what he was going for, she felt his hand tightly grasp her sensitive tail. "OWOWAAA! Let go!" She could once again feel her energy leaving her muscles, leaving her even too weak to hold herself up with her arms and knees. She collapsed hard and loud onto the ground as Goku stood up.
Goku couldn't stand to look at her. She was in pain and he was the one causing it. Not only was he putting her through mental pain, but now he was also causing physical pain. He hoped that she would forgive him once she found out about his reasons. "Quit being a baby about this." He felt the drastic change in her powerlevel. It was much lower now then it was when they had first started not fifteen minutes before. He had lost no power for she had not made a single hit on him.
He looked back to Rei and the others. Their rage could be felt within them. It would not be long until they unleashed it on him. 'Perfect'
Usagi closed her eyes. The pain was too great to handle anymore. She had to do something, but what? She was powerless against him like this. Her tail was a great weakness of hers. This was not at all like her father. He never played dirty like this. Except the times when they teased each other, but that was another story. "Please daddy. Please…" She begged with all her remaining energy.
Goku couldn't do this. He couldn't hurt his little girl like this anymore. But he started this and he couldn't very well stop now. It had to be finished. He tugged on her tail a bit and then picked her up by it. Ouch, kind of like in DBGT "You're pitiful." He began to swing her around.
That was about all Makoto could stand to take anymore. She could no longer just sit around and watch Usagi get total obliterated by her father. There was just no way that she would even think about letting that happen. She clenched her hands into fists. "That's it. No more will Usagi suffer."
Minako watched her friend fly off to the battle. Part of her told her to go and help, but the other part of her told her to stay out of the way. The helping part called out to her louder though. "That's right. What kind of friends would we be if we just sat around and watched her go through this?" She too jumped to the air and flew to the battle, leaving Rei and Ami.
Rei was all for going to help, she just wasn't sure Ami was. She had only been fighting for a few days, yet, her vast knowledge had helped her improve at a expeditious pace. "Ami, there really is no choice for me. Minako is right. Usagi is one of my closest friends. She has been there for me in the past when I've been upset about things. I want to be there for her now."
Ami nodded. "I know what you mean. All of you are great friends to me. I will be there through thick and thin, no matter what it takes. This is totally uncalled for." She turned to Gohan. "To think I thought you were better than this. I guess I was wrong." She and Rei jumped into the air and followed Minako and Makoto, who were already more than halfway to the fight.
After Goku had finally release Usagi to go flying through the air, he quickly caught up to her by using his teleportation technique and punched her down to the ground. 'Shit! Usagi, you won't be able to make your transformation with such a low power. Why don't you get angry with me? Do I have to raise the stakes?'
Usagi was still totally out of power. There was no way for her to jump back into the fight. Not that she was ever in it. He pretty much took charge straight from the beginning. "What did I do to deserve this?" She slowly and carefully lifted her head to look at her father. He didn't seem to be approaching her at all. Instead of his energy moving, she felt the energy of all her friends coming straight into her direction. They suddenly stopped. She squinted to see four figures standing in front of her father. "Guys!"
Ami got a good look at Usagi. Her poor little body was full of gashes and small wounds. Her energy level had been substantially decreased. "It's all right Usagi. We're here to protect you now. You relax." She kind of found this a bit invigorating. She didn't think she would, but she would get to fight a real fight. It was a horrible thing to think, yes, but it was the truth. Fighting really caught her interest. The whole strategy thing that went along with it.
Usagi shook her head. "No you guys! He's too strong. He'll hurt you too much. Just leave." She didn't know what she would do if her friends ended up getting hurt as badly as she had. It was bad enough that she had been beaten by her father, one of the two people in which she loved most. It was even worse that her best friends wanted to fight him.
Rei frowned. She would NOT let Usagi have to go through this without a fight. Even if she wouldn't be the one doing the fighting, they would pay him back. "Usagi, quit trying to steal the spotlight. We can get him if we work together. Right girls? Just like Usagi and I had figured out, the more we work together, the more power we have."
Minako smiled. "Right. So let's do our special girls' attack that only we can do." She laughed inside.
Makoto knew exactly what her friend was talking about. A group of girls was always triumphant when it came to their special attack on men. "Ready girls." They had used this on their own Goku many times.
Ami bent her knees a bit. She had never personally done this, but she had seen it done many times before. It was a pretty basic attack. "I'm all for it." She had never felt like this before. A rush of excitement raced through her veins. It was a great feeling.
Goku wasn't sure what they were talking about, but by the sound of it, he didn't think that he would like it. He had learned over the past year especially, that girls were full of surprises. And when they began to sound like they were planning something, that you had better high tail out of there before you get caught by them. But he didn't let on that he was feeling this way. "Show me all you've got."
Rei smirked. "See, he even says we can too. Let's go! Charge!" She was the first to feed herself a boost of energy and burst out towards Goku. Her friends soon followed her. "GO!"
Simultaneously, the girls began to fire an array of Ki blasts towards Goku, who reflected them away with one single forearm. Each girl had her own color of energy, which, in itself, amazed Goku. He had never seen that before. Ami's was the only 'normal' color that he had seen. But Rei had red. Makoto had green, and Minako had orange.
They didn't get discouraged when he block their attacks. They had expected that. But they didn't stop flying for him either. Goku just stayed in one place. He was curious to see what all the fuss over this so-called attack was. He yawned as he waited for them. "Come on girls. Let's take things just a bit slower shall we?"
Makoto frowned. Just because she wasn't as fast as he was he didn't have to call her slow. She was beginning to have second thoughts about Goku. "That's it! Now you've gone and made me made." She clasped her body around his left leg while Minako did the same around his right one.
Rei quickly found her way around his shoulders as Ami wrapped herself around his torso, pinning his arms to his side. Rei put her hands over his eyes. She knew the drill. She knew that they could attack him now. She just wished that he didn't have the ability to sense their energy attacks. But physical attacks did just fine in cases like these. "You're going down, GOKU!"
Usagi stared up in disbelief. They had actually pulled that much off. Although, she still worried. She didn't want her friends and father to fight. It wasn't right. Oddly enough, she found herself being replenished with an excess amount of energy. "Please. Stop this now. All of you, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Rei, daddy. Stop."
Goku kicked his legs back and fourth to try and free them from the grasps of Minako and Makoto, but they held on for their dear lives. "Is this all you've got?"
Rei smirked. "Move onto the next step." She dug her nails into his throat and dug the heals of her metal boots into his sides as the other girls' nails and heals also found their way into other spots in his skin. Goku struggled to break free from them, but it wasn't happening. They were somehow overpowering him. There were way too many for him. Rei could tell that it was working. She hadn't been thrown off yet. It was now time to apply the real pressure. Normally Usagi would have made all the calls, but since she was gone, she felt it was her duty to move on. She knew this next part was cruel, but he was cruel in what he had done to Usagi. "Proceed to the next step."
Goku was a little afraid to see what was going to happen next but he watched anyways. Though he didn't want to look, he didn't hesitate. It wasn't a good idea to not know what your enemy was up to. Although, these girls were not his enemies. He looked to Minako and then to Makoto. Both girls had their mouths wide open and their teeth ready to clamp down on his skin. "You guys are not going to do anything like that. I may have allowed you to get this far. But it ends here." He got into another power up stance and began to do just that. Power up.
Usagi's eyes widened with realization as to what her father was going to do. "No! Don't do that. They can't defend against that!" She promised herself that she would not cry in front of him when he was like this. From the first day that he was mean to her, she had not let him see her cry. But at that moment, when she figured out what he was going to do, she couldn't hold back anymore. He had crossed the line. He was messing with her whole life. If he didn't like her, fine. But he didn't have to take it out on her friends. For the first time in ten days she felt full anger towards her father. Yes, she still felt fear, but the anger began to overpower that fear as it pushed it aside into a corner.
Goku smiled. 'Perfect.' He could feel her power begin to rise with her anger. All he needed to do was put someone that she loved in danger. It made it even easier now that someone in which she loved was doing it. He powered up to Super Saiyan in a flash. It had become just another normal part of fighting with him.
As he was engulfed with a golden aura, much like Usagi's, he allowed his energy to shoot out in all directions, throwing the girls off of him before they had a chance to attack full force. "Now let's see you guys beat me."
Ami shook her head. Maybe all of her mother's ranting about Goku was right. Maybe he didn't have a right to raise children. If he treated Usagi this way because she wasn't powerful enough for him. She looked back at Gohan. He wasn't too powerful either, yet he didn't treat him this way. Though, Usagi had a greater hidden power than Gohan. But that didn't matter. Usagi was still his daughter. But there was still the fact in the attitude difference. The future Goku acted much more mature and MUCH more like a father. He could truly love Usagi for her instead of her power. "Goku, don't do this, please."
Rei put her hand on Ami's shoulder. She hadn't completely give up yet. They would win this together. "Don't waste your time Ami. This isn't the same Goku we know."
The four of them scowled at Goku as he glowed gold. They hated this and wished that they had never traveled to the past. He still had many things to learn. Minako probably most of all couldn't believe what she was witnessing. She had known him the longest out of all of them. "Goku, what's wrong with you? Usagi doesn't fight for power. She fights because it's fun for her and it helps her feel better about herself."
Goku snorted. "Right. Sure. Yeah. Uh-huh. Anyways…You guys are annoying me. I didn't tell you to interrupt us. I don't even remember saying that you were allowed to." His aura flamed out.
Rei moved close to Ami. They were behind him, unnoticed. "Hey, you're smart. Do you think you could do a combined attack? All you have to do is concentrate your energy added into mine."
Ami nodded. "I'm willing to give it a try."
Rei grabbed Ami's hand. "We have to do this one handed while he's talking to Minako and Makoto." She began to concentrate her power to Ami's hand. Both of which began to glow red. She was changing the attack a bit. It was something else that she and Usagi had come up with. She was sure that Ami would pick it up right away. She hoped that she would anyways.
Ami did the same as Rei. The mixture of their two Ki's had turned their hands a swirl of blue and red. She put all of her power into it. "On three, one…"
"Two…"
"Three!" They both threw their hands out in front of them while releasing the power at Goku, their target. A beam of their combined energy raced to Goku.
Goku, who had already felt it, timed things just right to where he dashed out of the way just as the beam would have rammed into his back, causing it to, instead, run into Minako and Makoto, who had not known what was happening. He watched as they fell and landed next to Usagi. "You guys should know better by now. I'm a lot faster now because of my extra strength."
Usagi ran to Minako and Makoto. "Guys! I told you to stay away." She knelt down between them. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked up to her father, who was glaring down at her. She could feel a massive amount of power rushing through her body as she stood up. No one messed with her and her friends like that. She didn't care who it was. No one did that and got away with it. "How could you!? You aren't my father! My father doesn't act this way!"
Rei diverted her attention from her fallen friends to Usagi. Her aura had come back. She had been fully charged with new energy. Just like the day of the fight with Kiro. She had been so worn out from the fighting at the tournament, but once she figured out what was happening to the Saiyans, she blew up and got her energy. That must have been what was happening now. She looked to Goku. "You evil man. I can't believe you're Usagi's dad. She's the sweetest person in the world."
Goku stuck out his hand and blasted Rei down without even turning his head to look at her. He didn't really put his full energy into it though. He didn't want to hurt her. He looked to Ami, who in reply, just backed away from him. "Usagi, you've held out long enough."
Usagi looked to Rei, who had fallen just a few yards away from her current spot. "Rei! Are you ok?"
Rei coughed as she stuck up a thumb. "Just fine. Maybe a few minor cuts and bruises, but nothing too serious. But I really think he's serious."
Usagi looked back up to her father with a scowl planted on her face. He was hitting her where it hurt most. Her friends were all hurt except Ami, and he had pretty much disowned her. That's the way she saw it anyways. Her aura was a perfect picture of her rage too. It ran all around her body. It increased its speed every time she became angrier.
Goku smiled. It was time. She was ready to go. 'Now for a little help from your old man and we have a powerful little kid on our hands.' "Now to fix you!" Without wasting anytime, he built up his most powerful energy attack. "KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" He released his great power at his daughter. He knew that she would be able to block it. He knew that when a half-human Saiyan was faced with danger or in great agony, their powers kick in. That's how he found out about Gohan's powers.
The sight of the blast coming for her hadn't scared Usagi. It was the fact that she had taken the time to feel the power of the force that was behind it. "You've changed. You hate me. YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY ANYMORE!" She grabbed her head with pain as she began to feel a great sensation in her entire body. It was something that she had never experienced before. More pain then she had ever felt before.
Goku watched in anticipation. The Kamehameha blast was too big to even see his daughter anymore. He was a little shaken up by her last words. He had done his duty and felt horrible. But he would think about that after he made sure she was safe. He would have a lot of apologizing to do after this. He hoped that she would forgive him. "Come on Usagi! Over come your fears! Make the transition!"
Most of Usagi's anger had been flushed out of her body. It had all turned to fear. Her father was trying to kill her now. "NO! NO! WHY?! WHHHHHHYYYY!!!???" Usagi could no longer control herself or her emotions. The pain was building up and she didn't know why. Her emotions mixed together. It was too much to take in at once. The blast, her father, her friend, the future, her pain. Everything. It was just too overwhelming for someone her age. "I WANT TO GO HOME!"
With that, her anger exploded all the way. She lost all control over her body. It was no longer hers to control at that point. Ami and Gohan and to shield their eyes and couldn't even see what was going on. The only thing that they knew was that Usagi was getting a massive build up. It was so enormous that it was almost frightening.
Goku couldn't take it anymore. The blast would nearly hit her now and she would be gone. If she didn't do something quickly, he would have to take over and his hopes of getting her power out would be gone for good. Then something amazing happened. His Kamehameha was all of a sudden shot back to him. He quickly felt his daughter's ki, which was now larger then his own. "She did it?" He dove out of the way so he would not be hit by the attack. As soon as he was clear, he looked down to his daughter and smiled. "She did do it. I'm so proud of her."
Usagi stood, glaring up at her father like she had never done before. Her hair flapped around her as he power radiated around her. Her tail furiously waved behind her legs. She got a glimpse of her hair and nearly screamed. She quickly took her attention off of her father and grabbed one of the locks of hair that hung down from he Odango. "Silver hair? What's going on?" She looked to her tail. "A...a…a…a…a Silver tail? What's happening to me? Owwwww…" She grabbed her head once again as the power began to make it's way all around her body. She stumbled backwards and fell. "Make it stop."
Goku powered down and landed next to his son, who was curiously looking to him. "What happened to her dad?"
Goku looked to his daughter. He worried about her now. She shouldn't have reacted that way to the power. Something was wrong. She was now fully lying on the ground, moaning from pain. "Well, I think she just went Super Saiyan. But I don't think that the power is reacting very well with her."
Rei slowly and roughly stood to her feet. She could feel Usagi's agony. The power was too much for her to handle. She staggered over to her and put her hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Usagi…" She looked up to see Minako and Makoto also making their ways them.
Usagi began to pull at her hair as she began to gasp for breath. She didn't know what was happening to her. Her power scared her. She could feel it, but she didn't want it. Fear and anger were its creators. "Make it stop already." She slammed her fist against the ground, creating a hole underneath it.
Minako and Makoto arrived to Usagi right after Ami had. All four of her friends placed their hands on Usagi. They were in awe by her color change. Her tail was fully silver along with her hair. Her aura was also silver. But it wasn't just any plain old silver. It was so bright that it was nearly blinding. Her aura sparkled around her body. Minako leaned over to look at Usagi's face. "We're here for you."
Rei hung her head low. She blamed herself partly for this. She went along with attacking Goku. She knew that with them getting involved, had only made things worse. "Usagi, we're very sorry." She started to softly glow red without even realizing it. It was more like a reaction to Usagi's pain. She felt so sorry for her that she, too, wanted to cry.
Goku looked to his son. "Stay here." He walked forward.
"But dad…"
"Do as I say Gohan." 'What have I done? Her body is not acting well with the power. Is it too much? Maybe I should have trained her to become stronger first. But I could have sworn that she was ready.' He stopped a few feet in front of Usagi when he noticed movement from her. Her friends glared at him with scornful eyes. "Usagi, I'm sorry."
Usagi opened her eyes as wide as she could. She didn't want him anywhere near her. She still feared him. She feared what he might still do to her. Or at least try. "St…stay…a…way from me."
Goku put a foot back. He was hurt by her request. But that was to be expected after what he had just done to her. "Usagi don't do this. Don't act like this." He proceeded to come to her.
With every step that he took closer, she became more and more afraid. She closed her eyes. "I said stay away from me!" She put her hand up and fired a silver blast at him.
Goku was not prepared for her speed. It was so fast that he could barely even sense it coming for him. It found its way into the base of his stomach, knocking him to the ground. "Usagi. Come on. I'm your dad." He was almost pleading with her.
Usagi continued to tell him to go away with her eyes. "Leave me alone. You aren't my daddy. I only have one daddy and he lives in the future! SO GO AWAY!" This time she put both of her hands in front of her. She wasn't doing this out of hate, she was just still too afraid of him and what he would do to her if he got his hands on her. But something happened before she could do anything more. She grabbed he chest and started wheezing.
Ami grabbed Usagi before she could fall back to a lying position. "Usagi, come on … breathe harder and faster."
The pain had decided to increase itself inside Usagi. The power was in fact too great for her. So much power was not healthy, in fact, it was so powerful, that it was beginning to wear on Usagi's life energy reserves.
~~Time Gate~~
"This is very unexpected. Usagi was not supposed to reach this level in this fashion. What's going on? This NEVER happened. Crap. She won't let Goku get near her either. He's the only one who can ever really calm her…wait a minute…"
~*~*~
~~The Future~~
Only a matter of a few seconds had passed in this time. Goku had just turned to walk out the door. He put his hand on the door handle and opened it up to see a group of people walking by. 'Sure is busy out here today.' He checked his pocket to make sure that the Capsules were secure and ventured out of the shop only to find himself somewhere other then the city. He looked around. He was in the same dark and drab place that Usagi had found herself in. He turned around when he heard large metal doors slam shut behind him. "Where the hell am I?"
"You are at the Time gate."
Goku turned his head. "Hey, you're that woman who just spoke to me in the electronics store. Who are you?" He paused just long enough to let her previous words sink into his head. "Wait? Time gate?"
"Yes. I am the guardian of time. I watch over time and make sure no one who is not supposed to, breaks the rules of time."
"Then you know where my little girl is, RIGHT?" He was getting anxious. Maybe he could just get her and bring her home now. He wouldn't have to worry about collecting other parts. He squinted. "Where are you?"
"I do, in fact, know where Usagi is. She is in the past, with you, training for the arrival of two separate types of evil. You already know what one of them is. I am all around you as of this point. I am not allowed to be seen by those unlike myself. I am sorry."
Goku didn't mind that. He believed her story. He had to. She had, after all, brought him there. "Why am I here?"
"That's a good question. I haven't got much time to waste explaining. All I can tell you is that Usagi is in danger in the past. Her life energy is being sucked away by her newly acquired power. It is too great for her body to handle. She won't let the Goku of the past get near her. You will find out everything else shortly after you arrive there."
"What?! You mean I can go?!"
She detected the severe happiness in the man's voice. "Yes, but for one day only. Your task is to, one, calm her down, and then teach her how to use he power. You have dealt with amazing amounts of power before, where your younger version has not. Please Goku, teach her how to master her power."
Goku nodded. "Anything for my little Usagi."
"Great!"
Goku turned to look behind him as the doors opened up again. He took a step closer to peer inside. He gasped at what he saw. He saw his daughter lying on the ground with her friends around her. She was gasping for breathe and sweating like crazy. That was not a good sign. "Usagi! What happened to her? Her power is huge. Is she a Super Saiyan now? I thought she was already a Super Saiyan."
"She was born with the power of a Super Saiyan. She was not directly a Super Saiyan. Now hurry and go. You don't have much time. Usagi's future depends on you. Please, calm her down. If she decreases her power, she may have a chance."
"Right!" Without further thought he jumped through the door.
(Ok, there goes another part for chapter 4. So what did you think? Nice cliffhanger huh? ^_~ What's going to happen?! My hands hurt now so I should get going. But first, what did you think?! Buh-bye for now!)
Goku's heart melted inside his chest when he heard her say that. He hated this. Probably more so then she did. He knew that it was all just a show. It was just a way for her to reach her full potential. "Just shut up and prepare yourself." He planted his feet into the dirt as he stiffened his body to begin a power up.
'Dad, what are you doing? We never discussed this. Usagi can't fight you with that much power.' Gohan was the first to realize his father's rapid power boost. He knew exactly what he was up to. He looked over to Rei. She didn't look too happy. She had to be watched carefully for she was easily agitated. She hated it when people messed with anyone close to her. Much like Usagi, only she acted on her anger, while Usagi just coward.
Rei glared back at Gohan with eyes filled with fury. She couldn't believe what was about to take place. Goku had always struck her as a caring person. But it was all clear now. He was nothing of the sort. At least, not this Goku. But she would be sure to stay clear of him and make sure he didn't do anything. If this fight escalated too much, she would intervene. "What are you looking at Gohan? Why don't you watch your dad beat up your little sister."
Goku smirked as she stopped powering up. He stopped right before he made the transfer into Super Saiyan. He let his body relax as he moved his eyes to look over his shoulder. "Do you really not have that much faith in her Rei? Maybe I should stop now. I wouldn't want to waste any of my valuable time."
She moved her head back to Goku. "Yeah right! Usagi is going to wipe that smirk off your face and then some. You better watch yourself."
Goku smiled. He knew she was right. As long as his planned worked, she would become even a bit stronger then his Super Saiyan level. "Right. We'll see." He looked back to Usagi, who was currently at low power. "If you think you can beat me with that power, you're sadly mistaken. Hurry up. I'll give you five minutes. If you haven't done anything by then, then I will just have to see how poorly you fight without you being ready."
Usagi blinked. This was not like her father at all. He would never fight someone unless he knew that they were at their full potential. Something was up with him. Something had been up for the past ten days. Something that she didn't quite understand. She must have done something. But what could it have been? Her mother didn't scold her for anything at all. It was only her father and brother who had treated her like dirt.
She didn't know what to do. There was no way that her father would let her out of this confrontation. He was determined to fight her. On normal basis she would have been happy to. But this time it was for real. Her body began to tremble as the fear built up in her. "O…o…k." She didn't really get into a fighting stance. She was afraid that if she did, she would be attacked. Normally, he wouldn't attack until she was ready, but these weren't exactly normal circumstances. This was for real. She knew that if she could somehow call upon her power that she would be accepted again. But that was kind of a stupid reason to be accepted. She would have expected better from her father. She didn't want him to like her because she was powerful, but because of who she was. That obviously wouldn't happen. She just didn't understand why her real father had put up with her for so long. She had given him so much trouble. It made her sick to think that she was getting to know who he really was. What he really thought about her.
Makoto stepped forward to talk to Goku, but was pulled back by Ami. She looked back at her. Ami just shook her head. "We mustn't ruin things for her."
"But he's turned into a monster."
That's exactly what Goku felt like too. A monster. He felt like Frieza. "Hurry it up."
Usagi was surrounded by her golden aura as she powered up as far as she could. It wasn't sufficient to beat her father's. Somehow she was going to have to call out her hidden power. But that was one thing she didn't know how to do. She had done it twice before, but she had not been able to control it. "Finished."
Goku snorted. "Is that the best you can do? I know I've probably taught you better." Of course he didn't mean that.
"I'm sorry. I don't have anymore power."
"Well fine then. We'll just have to fight as you are." Without further conversation, Goku jumped into the air and fired multiple Ki blasts at his daughter over and over taking time out every now and then to fire at his son and the girls. He wanted them far enough away from the fight so he would have plenty of room to work. Plus, he didn't want them to get hurt. He was careful not to shoot at any of them.
Usagi wasn't nearly fast enough to dodge even half of the energy balls and took a large beating from them. She tried jumping to the side, but was met by yet another one, which forced her off her feet. She quickly bounced back to her feet and ignored the pain in her leg. There was no time to worry about that. 'What is he trying to do? Kill me?' Usagi gasped. She didn't even want to think of that.
Goku stopped his attack. The area was filled with a thick blanket of smoke. But the smoke caused no confusion in the fighter. He could fully sense her exact placement inside. He wondered how badly she was hurt. He knew she was. There was no way that she could dodge all of those. 'Hurry up Usagi.'
Usagi stayed in the smoke. She knew he could feel her but she didn't want him to see her body in which he had pretty much just torn up. He would probably laugh at her for being so weak. 'He's turned into Vejita. Why?' She didn't have time to worry about her thoughts. She was more concerned with finishing the fight. Though, she didn't know if she would come out of it alive or not. She pretty much had mixed feelings about this situation. On the one hand, she was angry. Angry with herself for not pushing herself hard enough to get her power to shine and angry with her father for treating her this way. On the other hand, she was frightened. Frightened of what her father might do to her.
She jumped into the air as she felt a giant ball of energy advancing at her. She got out of the way just in time to look down and see the giant crater that had been created by the ball. "Whoa…" She emerged from the cloud of smoke, which was now diffusing back into the air and ground, where her father was waiting for her with another attack.
As fast as he could, Goku raced for her with his fist, which had a blue aura of it's own around it. It crashed into his daughter's cheek, forcing her to loose her balance and fall back down to the ground. She landed with thud, causing loose dirt to fly out from underneath her. 'Ouch. Sorry Usagi.'
Usagi grabbed her lower back. He was seriously for real here. She had half thought that he wasn't serious, but he was. There was no way for her to fight him fairly. He was way too much more powerful then she was. There was nothing she could do. It was impossible for her to make a hit on him at this point. He was much stronger and faster. 'Why, why, why, why?' She looked up as she could feel him approaching her at an unthinkably rapid speed. 'How am I supposed to fight that?' She got onto her knees and tried to crawl away.
Goku cringed when he thought about what he was about to do next. He knew it was risky, but he knew it would help her along her way. He just hoped that something would happen and the girls would step in soon. This was to help them too. He wanted to test out their limits also. It was a horrible and cruel way to do it, but when you have no other grounds to do it on, this is the only way. He couldn't just force them to become powerful. He reached out and grabbed her tail, making her freeze in her spot.
She had felt his hand coming nearer even before he had grabbed her. But there was nothing she could have done to prevent it. Before she even realized what he was going for, she felt his hand tightly grasp her sensitive tail. "OWOWAAA! Let go!" She could once again feel her energy leaving her muscles, leaving her even too weak to hold herself up with her arms and knees. She collapsed hard and loud onto the ground as Goku stood up.
Goku couldn't stand to look at her. She was in pain and he was the one causing it. Not only was he putting her through mental pain, but now he was also causing physical pain. He hoped that she would forgive him once she found out about his reasons. "Quit being a baby about this." He felt the drastic change in her powerlevel. It was much lower now then it was when they had first started not fifteen minutes before. He had lost no power for she had not made a single hit on him.
He looked back to Rei and the others. Their rage could be felt within them. It would not be long until they unleashed it on him. 'Perfect'
Usagi closed her eyes. The pain was too great to handle anymore. She had to do something, but what? She was powerless against him like this. Her tail was a great weakness of hers. This was not at all like her father. He never played dirty like this. Except the times when they teased each other, but that was another story. "Please daddy. Please…" She begged with all her remaining energy.
Goku couldn't do this. He couldn't hurt his little girl like this anymore. But he started this and he couldn't very well stop now. It had to be finished. He tugged on her tail a bit and then picked her up by it. Ouch, kind of like in DBGT "You're pitiful." He began to swing her around.
That was about all Makoto could stand to take anymore. She could no longer just sit around and watch Usagi get total obliterated by her father. There was just no way that she would even think about letting that happen. She clenched her hands into fists. "That's it. No more will Usagi suffer."
Minako watched her friend fly off to the battle. Part of her told her to go and help, but the other part of her told her to stay out of the way. The helping part called out to her louder though. "That's right. What kind of friends would we be if we just sat around and watched her go through this?" She too jumped to the air and flew to the battle, leaving Rei and Ami.
Rei was all for going to help, she just wasn't sure Ami was. She had only been fighting for a few days, yet, her vast knowledge had helped her improve at a expeditious pace. "Ami, there really is no choice for me. Minako is right. Usagi is one of my closest friends. She has been there for me in the past when I've been upset about things. I want to be there for her now."
Ami nodded. "I know what you mean. All of you are great friends to me. I will be there through thick and thin, no matter what it takes. This is totally uncalled for." She turned to Gohan. "To think I thought you were better than this. I guess I was wrong." She and Rei jumped into the air and followed Minako and Makoto, who were already more than halfway to the fight.
After Goku had finally release Usagi to go flying through the air, he quickly caught up to her by using his teleportation technique and punched her down to the ground. 'Shit! Usagi, you won't be able to make your transformation with such a low power. Why don't you get angry with me? Do I have to raise the stakes?'
Usagi was still totally out of power. There was no way for her to jump back into the fight. Not that she was ever in it. He pretty much took charge straight from the beginning. "What did I do to deserve this?" She slowly and carefully lifted her head to look at her father. He didn't seem to be approaching her at all. Instead of his energy moving, she felt the energy of all her friends coming straight into her direction. They suddenly stopped. She squinted to see four figures standing in front of her father. "Guys!"
Ami got a good look at Usagi. Her poor little body was full of gashes and small wounds. Her energy level had been substantially decreased. "It's all right Usagi. We're here to protect you now. You relax." She kind of found this a bit invigorating. She didn't think she would, but she would get to fight a real fight. It was a horrible thing to think, yes, but it was the truth. Fighting really caught her interest. The whole strategy thing that went along with it.
Usagi shook her head. "No you guys! He's too strong. He'll hurt you too much. Just leave." She didn't know what she would do if her friends ended up getting hurt as badly as she had. It was bad enough that she had been beaten by her father, one of the two people in which she loved most. It was even worse that her best friends wanted to fight him.
Rei frowned. She would NOT let Usagi have to go through this without a fight. Even if she wouldn't be the one doing the fighting, they would pay him back. "Usagi, quit trying to steal the spotlight. We can get him if we work together. Right girls? Just like Usagi and I had figured out, the more we work together, the more power we have."
Minako smiled. "Right. So let's do our special girls' attack that only we can do." She laughed inside.
Makoto knew exactly what her friend was talking about. A group of girls was always triumphant when it came to their special attack on men. "Ready girls." They had used this on their own Goku many times.
Ami bent her knees a bit. She had never personally done this, but she had seen it done many times before. It was a pretty basic attack. "I'm all for it." She had never felt like this before. A rush of excitement raced through her veins. It was a great feeling.
Goku wasn't sure what they were talking about, but by the sound of it, he didn't think that he would like it. He had learned over the past year especially, that girls were full of surprises. And when they began to sound like they were planning something, that you had better high tail out of there before you get caught by them. But he didn't let on that he was feeling this way. "Show me all you've got."
Rei smirked. "See, he even says we can too. Let's go! Charge!" She was the first to feed herself a boost of energy and burst out towards Goku. Her friends soon followed her. "GO!"
Simultaneously, the girls began to fire an array of Ki blasts towards Goku, who reflected them away with one single forearm. Each girl had her own color of energy, which, in itself, amazed Goku. He had never seen that before. Ami's was the only 'normal' color that he had seen. But Rei had red. Makoto had green, and Minako had orange.
They didn't get discouraged when he block their attacks. They had expected that. But they didn't stop flying for him either. Goku just stayed in one place. He was curious to see what all the fuss over this so-called attack was. He yawned as he waited for them. "Come on girls. Let's take things just a bit slower shall we?"
Makoto frowned. Just because she wasn't as fast as he was he didn't have to call her slow. She was beginning to have second thoughts about Goku. "That's it! Now you've gone and made me made." She clasped her body around his left leg while Minako did the same around his right one.
Rei quickly found her way around his shoulders as Ami wrapped herself around his torso, pinning his arms to his side. Rei put her hands over his eyes. She knew the drill. She knew that they could attack him now. She just wished that he didn't have the ability to sense their energy attacks. But physical attacks did just fine in cases like these. "You're going down, GOKU!"
Usagi stared up in disbelief. They had actually pulled that much off. Although, she still worried. She didn't want her friends and father to fight. It wasn't right. Oddly enough, she found herself being replenished with an excess amount of energy. "Please. Stop this now. All of you, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Rei, daddy. Stop."
Goku kicked his legs back and fourth to try and free them from the grasps of Minako and Makoto, but they held on for their dear lives. "Is this all you've got?"
Rei smirked. "Move onto the next step." She dug her nails into his throat and dug the heals of her metal boots into his sides as the other girls' nails and heals also found their way into other spots in his skin. Goku struggled to break free from them, but it wasn't happening. They were somehow overpowering him. There were way too many for him. Rei could tell that it was working. She hadn't been thrown off yet. It was now time to apply the real pressure. Normally Usagi would have made all the calls, but since she was gone, she felt it was her duty to move on. She knew this next part was cruel, but he was cruel in what he had done to Usagi. "Proceed to the next step."
Goku was a little afraid to see what was going to happen next but he watched anyways. Though he didn't want to look, he didn't hesitate. It wasn't a good idea to not know what your enemy was up to. Although, these girls were not his enemies. He looked to Minako and then to Makoto. Both girls had their mouths wide open and their teeth ready to clamp down on his skin. "You guys are not going to do anything like that. I may have allowed you to get this far. But it ends here." He got into another power up stance and began to do just that. Power up.
Usagi's eyes widened with realization as to what her father was going to do. "No! Don't do that. They can't defend against that!" She promised herself that she would not cry in front of him when he was like this. From the first day that he was mean to her, she had not let him see her cry. But at that moment, when she figured out what he was going to do, she couldn't hold back anymore. He had crossed the line. He was messing with her whole life. If he didn't like her, fine. But he didn't have to take it out on her friends. For the first time in ten days she felt full anger towards her father. Yes, she still felt fear, but the anger began to overpower that fear as it pushed it aside into a corner.
Goku smiled. 'Perfect.' He could feel her power begin to rise with her anger. All he needed to do was put someone that she loved in danger. It made it even easier now that someone in which she loved was doing it. He powered up to Super Saiyan in a flash. It had become just another normal part of fighting with him.
As he was engulfed with a golden aura, much like Usagi's, he allowed his energy to shoot out in all directions, throwing the girls off of him before they had a chance to attack full force. "Now let's see you guys beat me."
Ami shook her head. Maybe all of her mother's ranting about Goku was right. Maybe he didn't have a right to raise children. If he treated Usagi this way because she wasn't powerful enough for him. She looked back at Gohan. He wasn't too powerful either, yet he didn't treat him this way. Though, Usagi had a greater hidden power than Gohan. But that didn't matter. Usagi was still his daughter. But there was still the fact in the attitude difference. The future Goku acted much more mature and MUCH more like a father. He could truly love Usagi for her instead of her power. "Goku, don't do this, please."
Rei put her hand on Ami's shoulder. She hadn't completely give up yet. They would win this together. "Don't waste your time Ami. This isn't the same Goku we know."
The four of them scowled at Goku as he glowed gold. They hated this and wished that they had never traveled to the past. He still had many things to learn. Minako probably most of all couldn't believe what she was witnessing. She had known him the longest out of all of them. "Goku, what's wrong with you? Usagi doesn't fight for power. She fights because it's fun for her and it helps her feel better about herself."
Goku snorted. "Right. Sure. Yeah. Uh-huh. Anyways…You guys are annoying me. I didn't tell you to interrupt us. I don't even remember saying that you were allowed to." His aura flamed out.
Rei moved close to Ami. They were behind him, unnoticed. "Hey, you're smart. Do you think you could do a combined attack? All you have to do is concentrate your energy added into mine."
Ami nodded. "I'm willing to give it a try."
Rei grabbed Ami's hand. "We have to do this one handed while he's talking to Minako and Makoto." She began to concentrate her power to Ami's hand. Both of which began to glow red. She was changing the attack a bit. It was something else that she and Usagi had come up with. She was sure that Ami would pick it up right away. She hoped that she would anyways.
Ami did the same as Rei. The mixture of their two Ki's had turned their hands a swirl of blue and red. She put all of her power into it. "On three, one…"
"Two…"
"Three!" They both threw their hands out in front of them while releasing the power at Goku, their target. A beam of their combined energy raced to Goku.
Goku, who had already felt it, timed things just right to where he dashed out of the way just as the beam would have rammed into his back, causing it to, instead, run into Minako and Makoto, who had not known what was happening. He watched as they fell and landed next to Usagi. "You guys should know better by now. I'm a lot faster now because of my extra strength."
Usagi ran to Minako and Makoto. "Guys! I told you to stay away." She knelt down between them. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked up to her father, who was glaring down at her. She could feel a massive amount of power rushing through her body as she stood up. No one messed with her and her friends like that. She didn't care who it was. No one did that and got away with it. "How could you!? You aren't my father! My father doesn't act this way!"
Rei diverted her attention from her fallen friends to Usagi. Her aura had come back. She had been fully charged with new energy. Just like the day of the fight with Kiro. She had been so worn out from the fighting at the tournament, but once she figured out what was happening to the Saiyans, she blew up and got her energy. That must have been what was happening now. She looked to Goku. "You evil man. I can't believe you're Usagi's dad. She's the sweetest person in the world."
Goku stuck out his hand and blasted Rei down without even turning his head to look at her. He didn't really put his full energy into it though. He didn't want to hurt her. He looked to Ami, who in reply, just backed away from him. "Usagi, you've held out long enough."
Usagi looked to Rei, who had fallen just a few yards away from her current spot. "Rei! Are you ok?"
Rei coughed as she stuck up a thumb. "Just fine. Maybe a few minor cuts and bruises, but nothing too serious. But I really think he's serious."
Usagi looked back up to her father with a scowl planted on her face. He was hitting her where it hurt most. Her friends were all hurt except Ami, and he had pretty much disowned her. That's the way she saw it anyways. Her aura was a perfect picture of her rage too. It ran all around her body. It increased its speed every time she became angrier.
Goku smiled. It was time. She was ready to go. 'Now for a little help from your old man and we have a powerful little kid on our hands.' "Now to fix you!" Without wasting anytime, he built up his most powerful energy attack. "KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" He released his great power at his daughter. He knew that she would be able to block it. He knew that when a half-human Saiyan was faced with danger or in great agony, their powers kick in. That's how he found out about Gohan's powers.
The sight of the blast coming for her hadn't scared Usagi. It was the fact that she had taken the time to feel the power of the force that was behind it. "You've changed. You hate me. YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY ANYMORE!" She grabbed her head with pain as she began to feel a great sensation in her entire body. It was something that she had never experienced before. More pain then she had ever felt before.
Goku watched in anticipation. The Kamehameha blast was too big to even see his daughter anymore. He was a little shaken up by her last words. He had done his duty and felt horrible. But he would think about that after he made sure she was safe. He would have a lot of apologizing to do after this. He hoped that she would forgive him. "Come on Usagi! Over come your fears! Make the transition!"
Most of Usagi's anger had been flushed out of her body. It had all turned to fear. Her father was trying to kill her now. "NO! NO! WHY?! WHHHHHHYYYY!!!???" Usagi could no longer control herself or her emotions. The pain was building up and she didn't know why. Her emotions mixed together. It was too much to take in at once. The blast, her father, her friend, the future, her pain. Everything. It was just too overwhelming for someone her age. "I WANT TO GO HOME!"
With that, her anger exploded all the way. She lost all control over her body. It was no longer hers to control at that point. Ami and Gohan and to shield their eyes and couldn't even see what was going on. The only thing that they knew was that Usagi was getting a massive build up. It was so enormous that it was almost frightening.
Goku couldn't take it anymore. The blast would nearly hit her now and she would be gone. If she didn't do something quickly, he would have to take over and his hopes of getting her power out would be gone for good. Then something amazing happened. His Kamehameha was all of a sudden shot back to him. He quickly felt his daughter's ki, which was now larger then his own. "She did it?" He dove out of the way so he would not be hit by the attack. As soon as he was clear, he looked down to his daughter and smiled. "She did do it. I'm so proud of her."
Usagi stood, glaring up at her father like she had never done before. Her hair flapped around her as he power radiated around her. Her tail furiously waved behind her legs. She got a glimpse of her hair and nearly screamed. She quickly took her attention off of her father and grabbed one of the locks of hair that hung down from he Odango. "Silver hair? What's going on?" She looked to her tail. "A...a…a…a…a Silver tail? What's happening to me? Owwwww…" She grabbed her head once again as the power began to make it's way all around her body. She stumbled backwards and fell. "Make it stop."
Goku powered down and landed next to his son, who was curiously looking to him. "What happened to her dad?"
Goku looked to his daughter. He worried about her now. She shouldn't have reacted that way to the power. Something was wrong. She was now fully lying on the ground, moaning from pain. "Well, I think she just went Super Saiyan. But I don't think that the power is reacting very well with her."
Rei slowly and roughly stood to her feet. She could feel Usagi's agony. The power was too much for her to handle. She staggered over to her and put her hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Usagi…" She looked up to see Minako and Makoto also making their ways them.
Usagi began to pull at her hair as she began to gasp for breath. She didn't know what was happening to her. Her power scared her. She could feel it, but she didn't want it. Fear and anger were its creators. "Make it stop already." She slammed her fist against the ground, creating a hole underneath it.
Minako and Makoto arrived to Usagi right after Ami had. All four of her friends placed their hands on Usagi. They were in awe by her color change. Her tail was fully silver along with her hair. Her aura was also silver. But it wasn't just any plain old silver. It was so bright that it was nearly blinding. Her aura sparkled around her body. Minako leaned over to look at Usagi's face. "We're here for you."
Rei hung her head low. She blamed herself partly for this. She went along with attacking Goku. She knew that with them getting involved, had only made things worse. "Usagi, we're very sorry." She started to softly glow red without even realizing it. It was more like a reaction to Usagi's pain. She felt so sorry for her that she, too, wanted to cry.
Goku looked to his son. "Stay here." He walked forward.
"But dad…"
"Do as I say Gohan." 'What have I done? Her body is not acting well with the power. Is it too much? Maybe I should have trained her to become stronger first. But I could have sworn that she was ready.' He stopped a few feet in front of Usagi when he noticed movement from her. Her friends glared at him with scornful eyes. "Usagi, I'm sorry."
Usagi opened her eyes as wide as she could. She didn't want him anywhere near her. She still feared him. She feared what he might still do to her. Or at least try. "St…stay…a…way from me."
Goku put a foot back. He was hurt by her request. But that was to be expected after what he had just done to her. "Usagi don't do this. Don't act like this." He proceeded to come to her.
With every step that he took closer, she became more and more afraid. She closed her eyes. "I said stay away from me!" She put her hand up and fired a silver blast at him.
Goku was not prepared for her speed. It was so fast that he could barely even sense it coming for him. It found its way into the base of his stomach, knocking him to the ground. "Usagi. Come on. I'm your dad." He was almost pleading with her.
Usagi continued to tell him to go away with her eyes. "Leave me alone. You aren't my daddy. I only have one daddy and he lives in the future! SO GO AWAY!" This time she put both of her hands in front of her. She wasn't doing this out of hate, she was just still too afraid of him and what he would do to her if he got his hands on her. But something happened before she could do anything more. She grabbed he chest and started wheezing.
Ami grabbed Usagi before she could fall back to a lying position. "Usagi, come on … breathe harder and faster."
The pain had decided to increase itself inside Usagi. The power was in fact too great for her. So much power was not healthy, in fact, it was so powerful, that it was beginning to wear on Usagi's life energy reserves.
~~Time Gate~~
"This is very unexpected. Usagi was not supposed to reach this level in this fashion. What's going on? This NEVER happened. Crap. She won't let Goku get near her either. He's the only one who can ever really calm her…wait a minute…"
~*~*~
~~The Future~~
Only a matter of a few seconds had passed in this time. Goku had just turned to walk out the door. He put his hand on the door handle and opened it up to see a group of people walking by. 'Sure is busy out here today.' He checked his pocket to make sure that the Capsules were secure and ventured out of the shop only to find himself somewhere other then the city. He looked around. He was in the same dark and drab place that Usagi had found herself in. He turned around when he heard large metal doors slam shut behind him. "Where the hell am I?"
"You are at the Time gate."
Goku turned his head. "Hey, you're that woman who just spoke to me in the electronics store. Who are you?" He paused just long enough to let her previous words sink into his head. "Wait? Time gate?"
"Yes. I am the guardian of time. I watch over time and make sure no one who is not supposed to, breaks the rules of time."
"Then you know where my little girl is, RIGHT?" He was getting anxious. Maybe he could just get her and bring her home now. He wouldn't have to worry about collecting other parts. He squinted. "Where are you?"
"I do, in fact, know where Usagi is. She is in the past, with you, training for the arrival of two separate types of evil. You already know what one of them is. I am all around you as of this point. I am not allowed to be seen by those unlike myself. I am sorry."
Goku didn't mind that. He believed her story. He had to. She had, after all, brought him there. "Why am I here?"
"That's a good question. I haven't got much time to waste explaining. All I can tell you is that Usagi is in danger in the past. Her life energy is being sucked away by her newly acquired power. It is too great for her body to handle. She won't let the Goku of the past get near her. You will find out everything else shortly after you arrive there."
"What?! You mean I can go?!"
She detected the severe happiness in the man's voice. "Yes, but for one day only. Your task is to, one, calm her down, and then teach her how to use he power. You have dealt with amazing amounts of power before, where your younger version has not. Please Goku, teach her how to master her power."
Goku nodded. "Anything for my little Usagi."
"Great!"
Goku turned to look behind him as the doors opened up again. He took a step closer to peer inside. He gasped at what he saw. He saw his daughter lying on the ground with her friends around her. She was gasping for breathe and sweating like crazy. That was not a good sign. "Usagi! What happened to her? Her power is huge. Is she a Super Saiyan now? I thought she was already a Super Saiyan."
"She was born with the power of a Super Saiyan. She was not directly a Super Saiyan. Now hurry and go. You don't have much time. Usagi's future depends on you. Please, calm her down. If she decreases her power, she may have a chance."
"Right!" Without further thought he jumped through the door.
(Ok, there goes another part for chapter 4. So what did you think? Nice cliffhanger huh? ^_~ What's going to happen?! My hands hurt now so I should get going. But first, what did you think?! Buh-bye for now!)
