            "How funny this one's destiny has turned out to be. Still semi-formed but you know what will become of it. He's just going about as if he was an average earthling boy I am sorry to say it won't last much longer. You've had some simple tasks and rested up all you need to start again. The road that is a head gets much harder. I hope he picks his allies wisely. If he doesn't I fear for us all." Said a high-pitched male voice that was eerily calm. Using purple hands he gracefully let the image of the Saiya-jin appear in a crystal ball before him. The sacred planet of the Kai's was isolated only the noise of the wind accompanied the last of the high-ranking Kai.

            Gohan walked behind his Father as he led his Mother in his arms to what he thought was the cafeteria. So far they had walked into both girl and guy bathrooms, a few surgical, and private rooms. Gohan presumed sooner or later they would find it. You could have only so many rooms in a hospital. At this rate the young half-breed thought he would see them all.

    "Looks like we're getting closer. There's people with food walking by." Gohan said.

            Opening a door with an available hand Goku smiled as he saw what seemed the hospital's cafeteria. Various benches with seats attached cluttered the room. Teal eyes scanned the room and what he found was mixed some were eyes red and tear stained while others were filled with joy. To his relief his family joined the second group. Voices called his Father's name Gohan smiled as he walked towards the familiar voices.

    "Hey you guys is the tail removed yet?" Bulma said smiling. Chichi nodded as Goku helped her sit down.

    "What I want to know is why Kakkorrot and his mate want to remove the main thing Saiya-jin on his spawn. It's very important to their balance and coordination development." Vegita said glaring at his own son in Bulma's arms.

     "Then why did you remove Trunks' tail?" Goku asked scratching the back of his head as the he was pull out a chair to sit in.

     "You think I had my hand in that? The woman did it while of was training." Vegita yelled in his usual manor glaring at both Goku and Bulma.

     "Vegita those damn tails are too much trouble. They'll live without them." Bulma said calmly. "I know personally you no longer have a tail." Bulma added in a playful tone.

     "I swear…. I got rid of the need for that weakness a long time ago." Vegita said his voice raising.

     "If it's a weakness why do you want the two boys to keep them?" Goku asked finally sitting down.

     "They're not weaknesses if you learn to use it correctly. As I said before both of them will be klutzes as they learn to walk with out them. Their body is made to have the tail used for balance." Vegita grumbled.

     "They'll survive Vegita as you say they are Saiya-jins. Anyway the human in them will make them able to walk with out a tail." Chichi said grabbing food that lay in a tray before Bulma. With that Vegita was silent and with his ever crossed arms seemed intent on starring at some unknown object.

     "What I want to know is what took you guys so long. All you had to do was go see the baby with the doctor then come here." Krillin said finally speaking up he had learned a long time ago don't get into any kind of argument with Vegita.

    "We did that but then Dad seemed to think that every room in this hospital was the cafeteria." Gohan said smiling.

    "There are just too many doors in this place." Goku replied. Suddenly there was a loud shriek from the food line. The famed Turtle Hermit now lay on the ground twitching. His face was red from supposedly putting either his face or hands somewhere unwanted from the look a young brunette nurse was giving him.

     "I better go take care of that." Yamcha said suavely.

     "Do you mean Master Roshi or the girl?" Krillin asked a similar look to Yamcha appearing on his face. With a nod both Krillin and Yamcha got up and went after the nurse.

    "Gohan I don't want you hanging around Yamcha or Krillin when they get that kind of look on their face." Chichi said sternly.

    "What look?" Goku asked.

    "Oh please Kakkorrot. The look that comes over when a guy wants a nice piece of…." Bulma's hand suddenly covered her husband's sentence cutting off the end to the sentence. Trunks giggled mildly in her remaining arm as she removed her hand as she started to say.

     "Don't you dare use that kind of language in front of anyone below twenty! Good Kami what is wrong with you."

     "That's it I'm going to get some air." Vegita yelled standing up. As he left he sent a quick look at Goku but then was gone.

     "I'll be right back Chichi I have to go get something." Goku said quickly getting up leaving a confused pair of women and pre-teen.

~~

            Vegita was leaning against the wall arms crossed and eyes closed and for once his face seemed relax as if it contained no emotion.

    "Vegita?" Goku asked coming to meet the older Saiya-jin. Vegita's response was opening his eyes and just staring at the taller pure blood.

    "Your time is almost up. That ki the Guardian gave you is almost gone." Vegita said abruptly ending the uncomfortable silence.

    "I know. So you better tell me what you want to say." Goku said seriously in a manner that didn't match his usual manner. Vegita let his weight leave the wall and walked over to the opposite wall. Goku suddenly noticed that this window was the looking glass to see the new borns. His eyes scanned the room to come upon the bed marked Goten Son. There slept the newest Saiya-jin sleeping there peacefully his facial features even now eerily looking like his own.

    "Look at us Kakkorrot we are the last of a dieing race. You don't even know the culture or any of the history. I the oldest Saiya-jin left am the only one that truly knows what it was like. We have stooped to the level of creating Hybrids a sin in the noble clan, which would have that one put to social rejection. But that is what we are reduced to. The surprising thing is this new generation has more power born into them then we can imagine. Soon the new generation will take over." Vegita said sharing the gaze of Goku on Goten. 

            "The question is that will your son or one of us be able to guide them right. You know the event that we talked about before the fight with Cell is about to happen?" Vegita said looking now at Goku.

      "He is around that age." Goku said softly. "But does he have to go through it?" Vegita just nodded turning around he started to walk down the hallway.

      "Kakkorrot don't forget we still have a score to settle." Vegita said over his shoulder.

Flashback:

            Still on the Lookout there were still a few days until the Cell Games. To Goku it was as if a storm cloud was hanging over his head, or the time before you know the dam will break. Sitting on the marble steps of the Lookout he let his tired muscles relax. He had just had a sparring/training match and his ki and physical strength was drain. Now he was resting and watching Trunks and Gohan both fight in Super Saiya-jin mode. Right now they were in the sky matching each other blow for blow. But he knew Gohan had more power. Of course he had no access it to it yet because he wasn't mad. Along time ago he knew that Gohan's hidden power was triggered by emotion. Also that it would one day save them all. If his plan was right then he would shortly.

     "Looks like your brat is holding back." Vegita said emerging from the building behind him.

     "Such power for someone so young. I wish I had the power he has at his age." Goku said.

    "Evolution each generation is stronger. He isn't so young you know. Pretty soon he'll under go the rights." Vegita said.

    "Rights?" Goku asked.

     "When a Saiya-jin child is going through the last of what you call puberty. They have to go off alone to finish the changes or the people around them will definitely be hurt. When you were around that age you must've gone off. Or your little happy gang wouldn't be around. After that you won't to be able to consider him a child. Our race matures much faster then others how do you think he's been able to all that he's gone through. If he can't suppress his Saiya-jin side when he's older he might even challenge both of us just for a reason. But don't worry he'll have help suppressing it. But you can't stop him when he leaves or when the woman tries stop her." Vegita said seriously. "No matter how thin the blood is and how the culture disappears there are certain rituals that a Saiya-jins must go through no matter what." With the end of this Vegita disappeared back into the building.

            He truly is the last of the culture. If it's connected to our body then what happens if it gets lost. I guess we can't let that happen. It must be an instinct. I'll have to have someone teach Gohan more about trusting his instincts. After that he let his eyes focus upon his son. The thing that makes me most upset is I think its actions that made him grow up so fast. But still you can tell he has innocence. The question is will he be able to cope if it doesn't go right.

. End Flash Back:

            Goku felt that his energy was basically gone so quickly he went to the cafeteria where he still sensed Chichi. Coming up behind her he whispered into her ear. "I have to go now. I can no longer stay. But don't worry or be sad. I'll be back shortly. Don't worry Goten will have a Father. Also if Gohan ever has to go away from you let him, trust me. I love you…" He knew that a few tears were rolling down her cheeks.

    "Bye Goku love you." She said shortly. Gohan watched this and stood up.

    "Bye Dad love you." He ran up and gave his Father a hug. Goku returned it but Gohan felt that his body was fading.

    "I love you too Gohan. Whatever happens here on take it in stride. Be careful and not afraid." With that said the last of his energy was gone and he had to go. His soul felt as if it was being torn apart his time was definitely up. Putting two fingers to his head he waved and went to where his soul wanted and belonged for now Other World.

~~

            He's gone again. Now I have to wait more then a year and a half for him to return. What does it mean that I have to take whatever happens in stride? Is something going to happen to me? Why is life always so complicated. Gohan was now clearing his head walking down the halls of the hospital still wearing the scrubs.

    "Gohan? Hello are you there." Said a familiar voice coming from behind him. Gohan turned around and saw Lime.

    "Lime I thought you couldn't stand hospitals. What are you doing here?" Gohan asked amazed to see his friend.

    "I thought I could bare it to see you. I saw your little brother he is very adorable." Lime said smiling.

    "Yeah he looks exactly like my Father it seems so weird. I'm sorry buy something my Dad said got to me." Seeing a look of confusion on the girl's face he went on to explain. "It's complicated but you see using some of the Guardian's energy I was able to get my Dad here a short time so he could see my Mom and Brother."

     "As I said before your life is a complicated one." After her sentence she stopped and turned pale white as the doctors were rolling a man lying helpless on a table down the hallway quickly. All Lime could do was stare at him as he was rolled down the hallway. As he disappeared she felt tears going down her eyes.

    "What's wrong?" Gohan said coming closer to her. Abruptly she laid her head on his chest.

    "When I'm around an aura of a person dieing I see and recognize what they are going through. Their aura if you can give a color to it is a lifeless black in it there's no energy. If they're in pain it seems to be all that is left in their aura. It doesn't matter the lifelessness is the worst thing. Then as the life leaves them there is a strange white flash, which feels more powerful then anything you'll ever sense and then the aura is gone. The process before hand is the worst. In the lifelessness they seem to undergo every experience they ever lived good and bad. That is something I'm not suppose to see. That is why I don't like being in hospitals they do heal but still there is too much death. To experience it is horrible but seeing what the person goes through is just scary." Lime said her body almost shaking.

     "Why did you come?" She looked up at him and smiled her brown eyes shining.

     " Because you're worth going through all that."

    "What did you see when you looked at my brother?" He asked abruptly.

    "I couldn't really see on him just like you. But the others have pure white auras. Their lives are new and have to experience everything for the first time. It's one of the things that are good to look at. I suppose your brother's is exactly the same." She said backing away from him. "Don't worry about what your Dad said. What ever comes. You'll be able to deal with it." She said smiling.

    "I just hope you're right." He said lowly.

     "Gohan. Oh Lime you're here. Come on you two. Chichi wants to see Gohan." Bulma said coming down the hallway. The two smiled each other and started to follow Bulma. Gohan was a little embarrassed on how close Lime was walking next to him.

~~

            Bulma was now breathing heavily on her bead. One hand clutching the sheets from forced breath and the other of her sons. Her heartbeat was slowly drifting away and her breaths were shallow.

    "It's time." Said a voice that he had been dreading to hear for months. Trunks looked up quickly to see Gohan stand transparently near him and someone behind him. He stood a serious look on his face arms crossed and what seemed cold black eyes. His black hair stood up like flame and he seemed to be looking at Trunks like he was evaluating him.

   "Father?" He asked abruptly.
