The Past Returns

Part Sixteen

"Mom! Dad!" Marron yelled happily through the window as she saw her parents land on Master Roshi's island. She ran out the house and hugged her parents. "I'm glad you're safe."

Krillin laughed. "Come on, Marron. Give your parents some credit. We weren't going to lose."

"That's right. I had to save your father," 18 said dryly.

Marron looked at her mother amazed. "You did, Mom?" She giggled as she saw her father rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Daddy lost again."

"I did not lose!" Krillin argued. "I just got tricked. That's all. What do you mean again, Marron?"

"I remember those stories Goku and Gohan told me about you," Marron said.

Krillin rolled his eyes. "Great."

Marron hugged her father. "You're still the greatest to me, Daddy."

Almost everyone had returned after their battles from the warriors from Olympus. Piccolo and Pan were the first to arrive back on Master Roshi's island safely. Tien and Chiaotzu were next. It was a happy reunion so far to see everyone return alive and uninjured. All there was left to return were Gohan, Yamcha and Videl.

Piccolo felt Yamcha's energy drop dramatically when he and Pan were returning to the island. He thought to keep that matter to himself since Yamcha's wife was extremely worried. Piccolo wasn't sure Yamcha was dead, but he wasn't sure he wasn't alive either.

Footsteps were heard outside. The door opened and everyone turned to see Gohan and Videl standing at the door. Both had grim expressions on their faces. Everyone's heart sank as they only saw two people return.

Kaori was the first to notice that Yamcha wasn't with them. She rushed to Gohan. "Gohan, please." Tears streamed down her eyes. "Tell me it isn't true. Yamcha's not dead is he?"

No one was making a sound in the room. All were shocked by the fact that Yamcha was gone.

"Not dead, just late," Yamcha said standing at the door, ending the silence.

Kaori rushed into Yamcha's arms and hugged him as she cried. Yamcha stroke her hair softly. "It's okay. I'm here. He felt Talia's arms around him, too.

"Sorry. Yamcha thought it would be a good joke that everyone thought he died since he had many close encounters before," Gohan apologized.

Kaori pulled from Yamcha's arms and slapped him. "Don't you ever scare me like that again! That's not funny!"

"It was a joke! I thought it would be funny," Yamcha tried to assure Kaori even though she was still angry at him for pulling a stunt like that.

As Kaori continued to argue with her husband, Gohan and Videl checked on Pan, happy to see her well again. Afterwards, Gohan stepped outside to clear his mind for a moment.

'Earth is safe but what about Dad and the others on Olympus? Are they all right?'

Goten had his eyes closed as he focused on Medusa's energy. The aura she represented was right in front of him. He was trained this way by his father years before when he was a kid. Goten felt out her energy. She was strong he admitted that, but she wasn't stronger than him. However, Goten knew it wasn't always the strongest who win a fight.

"I'll let you go if you free Trunks and tell me where my Mom is."

Medusa laughed. "Never."

Seeing no other choice, Goten charged on Medusa first. Medusa grabbed Goten's left arm and threw him. Goten caught himself on a wall and flipped back on his feet on the floor. Goten went in for the attack again, throwing punches and kicks at her. Medusa blocked it but she couldn't avoid the swift punch Goten delivered to her face.

She stumbled and got her bearings. "Insolent pest."

Goten felt her presence close and so he hit her on the back of her neck. Medusa stumbled to the floor again. She wasn't looking good losing like this. Every time she attacked, Goten knocked her down and attacked her.

When she was close on Goten, she tried using the poisonous snakes in her hair to bit Goten and turn him into stone, but he smartly avoided her hair when he heard the hissing of the snakes. In fact, he used a ki blast to set her hair on fire and turn the snakes into burnt sticks. Now she had no possible defense against him except to get him to open his eyes somehow and turn him to stone.

After another brutal attacked, Goten approached Medusa who lied on the floor. When he was close enough, she grabbed Goten's legs and flipped him over on his back. She pounced on him and attacked with several punches until Goten threw her off him, causing her to knock her back against the wall.

Ami was listening to the sounds of the fights from the punches, kicks, grunts and groans. She couldn't look otherwise she'd turn to stone, but it sounded as if Goten was winning.

"Yay! There you go, Goten! Beat that stone lady!" Ami cheered.

"Give up and free my friend," Goten told Medusa.

"No! I'll find a way to win."

"I have a question. If you die, does that mean my friend Trunks would be free?" Goten asked.

"It is, but I'll find a way to win."

Goten frowned. "I don't want to kill you, but you leave me no choice. I'll make it quick." Goten jumped in the air while Medusa looked on confused. "Kamehameha!!" He said quickly as he fired on Medusa.

Medusa saw the blast heading her way. She ran to avoid it, going in Ami and Trunks direction. Goten felt her presence moving and heading for the two. He could hear Medusa cackle evilly, but Goten was ahead of her as he maneuvered the Kamehameha Wave on Medusa faster.

"Ami, Medusa is heading for you! Move out of the way!" Goten warned.

Ami screamed in fright. She tried to push Trunks stone statue out of the way but instead trip. To not let Trunks break, she maneuvered for herself to fall on the floor with the Trunks statue on top of her.

Medusa screamed as her body was swallowed by the wave and turned to dust. Goten rubbed his forehead in relief. Trunks' body turned from stone to flesh. He grabbed his head as it throbbed with pain. It was then he realized he was under something.

Ami struggled under Trunks. "Move! You're heavy!"

Trunks pushed himself off Ami and rolled over. He sat up. "What happened?"

"You took one look at Medusa and turned to stone," Ami explained as she sat up and smile mischievously. "I guess this means you don't deserve to be a fighter. Goten beat Medusa for you."

"What?" Trunks said alarmed. Goten landed in front of him smirking. "She's right. You don't deserve to be a fighter."

"I was caught off guard!" He yelled and Ami laughed even louder. "That's not funny!"

"Of course not," Ami said as she continued to laugh. "Not when it happens to the mighty Trunks Briefs!" Ami laughed hysterically and Goten joined in the laughter.

"It's not that funny! I--"

Trunks was cut off and Ami and Goten stopped laughing when the room started to shake as if an earthquake was rattling the place.

"What's going on?" Ami asked. She rolled over to avoid a piece of the ceiling from falling on her.

"It's an earthquake!" Trunks yelled. He grabbed Ami's hand and the two got in the doorway.

Goten struggled to keep his balance as he felt the power of the quake. It wasn't an ordinary earthquake. This was a shockwave caused by a tremendous blast. "Gogeta," Goten murmured. "He's causing this."

****

Vegeta watched as Kiro foolishly charged on him. As Kiro approached Vegeta, the hallway began shaking and rumbling around them. The whole area shook like a gigantic earthquake taking place. The two fought to hold their balance instead fight each other.

Vegeta felt out the energy, wondering what was causing this. 'That's Gogeta's power I'm feeling. What is going on? Gogeta doesn't usually pull out this much power. Apollo.'

So distracted by what was going on with Gogeta, Vegeta didn't hear Kiro approach to sucker punch him. The Prince of Saiyans stumbled and was knocked to the floor. He wiped the blood from his mouth. "Cheap shot."

"Any way to win." Kiro didn't want to admit it but that was the toughest punch he had to throw and it felt like he was punching the toughest metal on Olympus.

Vegeta rose. "You're an idiot to think I will lose to you by cheap shots or any other way you fight." Vegeta vanished before Kiro's eyes and hit on the back of his neck with his elbow.

Kiro fell to the ground but he rolled over and tripped Vegeta. With quickness, he grabbed Vegeta's left leg and spun him around two circles before he threw him and shot a ki blast. Vegeta caught himself with his feet on the wall and shot a ki blast to which Kiro avoided.

Vegeta laughed to himself. "Is that the best you can do? You don't stand a chance."

Kiro felt his pride being insulted. As he charged on Vegeta once more, Vegeta grabbed one of Kiro's arms and kneed him in the chest, cracking a few ribs. Kiro felt his whole body tremble from the attack and he fell to his knees in pain. He coughed up a small pool of blood from his wounded insides. He heard Vegeta's footsteps on the tile floor becoming louder and louder as he approached him.

Vegeta smirked and kicked Kiro in the face. More blood spat out of his mouth and Kiro was knocked back to the end of the hall. Kiro sat up and wiped his mouth. His face and clothing had several spots of his blood on it. He had never been so humiliated. He was strong so how could he lose so easily to someone that his sister defeated without breaking a sweat on Earth?

Kiro slowly pulled himself up with his body leaning on the wall. Vegeta smirked as he approached him. He could see the fear in Kiro's eyes. Vegeta thrive on that. He loved to see an opponent in fear of him and always wanted to make them pay for whatever they did. After all, he was humiliated by his sister and he was the one who kidnapped Chi-Chi. Both siblings had to pay.

"I will not lose to a barbaric Saiyan!" Kiro roared.

"It seems you don't have a choice," Vegeta smirked.

Kiro threw a weak punch that Vegeta caught. He took his arm and twisted it around and around until a loud popping sound filled the empty hallway. Kiro cried out in pain as he felt his left arm break. Vegeta smirked and put an arm around his neck. "If I didn't have to find my son, I'd make you suffer more. You and your sister are nothing against a Saiyan. Die with the fact, that you can beat us when we're at our weakest." Vegeta pulled Kiro's neck swiftly hearing a crack. He release Kiro and let his lifeless body drop to the ground.

Vegeta crossed his arms and looked back as he heard someone familiar approached. He could only scowl in annoyance when he saw Iris approaching. She paused and looked down and Kiro's dead body. "What are you doing here?" Vegeta asked annoyed. "I thought you were with Gogeta!"

"I was but he told me to leave. He said it could get dangerous, and it did with that blast he caused. The whole castle shook from it. I fear this is only the beginning. If he thinks that blast will finish Apollo, then he has another thing coming."

This worried Vegeta. That was a lot of energy that Gogeta used and though Vegeta knew that wasn't all of Gogeta's power, he couldn't help but be concerned about his son. He fought vigorously against him and Goku in the past when they sparred, but it was never to the death as it appeared to be now. "I want to see this Apollo. You're taking me to him!" He decreed.

"But…" Iris started.

"But nothing! You're taking me!!" Vegeta ordered. "And you're taking me now!"

"Fine," Iris gave up. She knew Vegeta still wasn't fond of her. "Come on."

****

Goku stared at Chi-Chi confused. Did she just call him a monster? She looked so frightened and angry at him. Goku stepped forward and Chi-Chi stepped back.

"Chi-Chi, what's the matter? What did they do to you? Don't you recognize me?"

"I recognize you all right and it's not what they did to me but what you did to me! You think I want to come with you?"

"Chi-Chi, whatever they told you… it's a lie."

"You deny you're a Saiyan, warrior from a monstrous race?" Chi-Chi questioned.

"No. I am a Saiyan," Goku admitted. "But I wasn't a monstrous warrior as my ancestors. You know that, Chi-Chi. I was raised on Earth."

"Liar!" Chi-Chi accused Goku. "You came to conquer my planet! You killed my family and forced me to be your wife. I'll kill you first before you lay another hand on me!"

Chi-Chi started attacking Goku. Whatever punch she threw at him, he caught or block. The same happened when she tried to attack him with her legs. "Chi-Chi, why are you trying to fight me? You can't win."

Chi-Chi didn't listen. She continued to try to attack Goku which he easily avoided. He suddenly pulled her close so she couldn't fight him. "Chi-Chi, I won't hurt you. Stop struggling."

Chi-Chi's attacked on Goku worsen as she fought more feral than a wildcat to get free from Goku. It didn't hurt him but he thought if he held on to Chi-Chi she would listen and stop struggling. Chi-Chi finally gave in and stopped fighting but she started crying, looking at Goku in fear, begging to be let go. Goku didn't see any other choice but to let her go. She was frightened of him. They had brainwashed her he figured and did a good job of it. Goku wondered what he could do now to prove to Chi-Chi that what she was told was a lie.

Suddenly the room began shaking violently. Furniture moved, mirrors cracked, painting and vases fell to the floor shattering on impact and cracks formed on the walls and ceiling. Chi-Chi rush to her bedpost to keep her balance. This wasn't good for her. First, her estranged husband found her and now an earthquake was happening.

Goku was wondering what was going on, too. He looked above Chi-Chi and saw a chandelier, decorated with sharp glass spikes above her on its last leg. As it fell, Goku rushed and knocked Chi-Chi down on the floor beneath him.

"Get off me!!" Chi-Chi screamed.

But Goku wouldn't. He shielded her whole body with his own. Chi-Chi saw his eyes fill with concern as the sound of something crashed above them. He was protecting her? That wasn't the Goku she knew. Or maybe he was protecting her now so when he got her home, wherever that may be, he'd make her pay viciously.

Pieces of the ceiling fell on him, too after the chandelier and its sharp spikes stabbed into his back. Still, Chi-Chi couldn't get the look of his eyes out of her mind. Why was he looking at her like that? Why was he protecting her? Why did he smell so good?

Chi-Chi blinked, wondering where that had come from. She stared at his features. He didn't look so cold and evil as he did in her memories. Now, he looked kind and gentle, especially with those eyes. They were so ardent and caring and he was looking at her this way.

When the quakes stopped, Goku still held himself over her protectively. "That was close."

Chi-Chi kneed Goku's groin. The Saiyan groaned in pain as he doubled over. He never got hit in that area before and he never noticed how sensitive it could be when hit like that. Chi-Chi pushed him off him and tried to make her escape, but the dress was too long so she ripped off the bell-like ends to the dress. She made her way to the door until she felt a hand on her left ankle. She looked down and saw Goku. He was on his knees, pain still filled his eyes. He tripped her, causing her to fall and pulled her towards him.

"That wasn't very nice, Chi-Chi," Goku said, his voice in pain still. "But I know you're not in your right mind so I forgive you."

"You've done worst to me," Chi-Chi said bitterly. She saw Goku looking at her softly again. Why was he looking at her like this? Goku cupped the side of her face.

"I've missed you a lot," he whispered tenderly. "I was so worried about you, Chi-Chi. They've done something to you…to make you forget about me, to make you young again."

"What are you talking about? I've always been young." The look in Goku's eyes was telling Chi-Chi something else. Why did he expect her to look old? Before she had a chance to ask, she felt Goku's hand stroking her face. A shiver ran through her body and it wasn't bad at all. Why was she feeling good about this? These new feelings frightened her so she pushed Goku off her and jumped to her feet.

"Don't touch me like that," Chi-Chi said.

"Why?" Goku asked as he rose to his feet. The pain between his legs was getting better. "Afraid you would remember who I really am…or remember that you liked it as you had before?"

"I already know who you are. You're a horrible Saiyan who conquered my planet! I remembered it. I remember all that you did to me. I remember how you force yourself and hurt me! I could never like how you touch me."

"I never did any of those things, Chi-Chi, and if I wanted to hurt you, don't you think I would've by now?" Goku asked.

Chi-Chi opened her mouth to argue and then realized he had a point but that could be a lie couldn't it? This was becoming confusing to Chi-Chi. She gasped when she felt Goku's hands on her shoulders. "Don't you remember me at all?"

"Only how rotten you were to me."

Goku frowned. "So, you don't remember me doing this?" He touched her face softly. "Or this?" He ran a hand down her spine and Chi-Chi jumped at the touch. "You used to like it when I did that." Goku moved closer to Chi-Chi until she had no other place to move since she was backed to a wall.

"I never liked that and you never did that. Stop touching me," she said slapping his hand off her face.

Goku smiled down at her. He knew her a lot better than that. If he could kiss her, he thought he could get her to remember. He also remembered Vegeta's words about the bond and how powerful it was. If he could make a crack into the hold Apollo has over her, then he could break it for good and bring Chi-Chi back to him.

'There's only one thing to do,' Goku thought. He moved in quickly to kiss Chi-Chi and hopefully bring her back.

****

Gogeta pulled himself from a pile of rubble and debris that covered him through the blast. He stood and looked around. The room was a complete mess. The walls surrounding the room had crumbled and as Gogeta looked up, he saw the ceiling was completely gone and all he could see was a blue sky filled with haze and smoke from Gogeta's Kamehameha Wave and Apollo's blast, and in the mist as it slowly evaporated, he saw Apollo.

He was very much alive but parts of his clothing were torn from his pants and parts of his top. Smoke singe from all over his body and the look on his face told Gogeta he wasn't all that happy.

"He looks ticked now," Gogeta told himself with a smile.

Apollo crossed his arms and landed a few feet from Gogeta. "That…hurt."

Gogeta laughed. "I bet."

"You don't understand. No one hurts me and gets away with it," Apollo said irritably.

"I heard that one before."

Apollo huffed. He stared at Gogeta. His eyes started to glow red and once he put a hand forward, a blast of invisible energy left his hand and hit Gogeta.

Gogeta thought Apollo was pushing him back by force but as he tried to move to counter Apollo's 'attack', Gogeta realized he couldn't move. Something wasn't right.

"I…can't…move," Gogeta grunted as he tried to move his arm.

"That's right," Apollo smirked. "I'm in control of your body now and before I kill you, I shall humiliate you first."

Apollo slapped Gogeta hard on both sides of his face. He then punched Gogeta so hard in the stomach that he spat blood. "I bet you're wondering why my sister didn't tell you this because I know she blabbed to you my powers, but the truth is," he said as he punched Gogeta's face, making his nose bleed. "She doesn't know about all the abilities I have."

He grabbed Gogeta and threw him to the floor. Apollo jumped in the air and landed hard on Gogeta's stomach with his knees. Gogeta screamed in tremendous pain. Apollo punched Gogeta repeatedly in the face, laughing at Gogeta's torment and the blood spilling out of his mouth, cheek, and nose.

"You're…cheating," Gogeta said through punches.

"No…I'm winning," Apollo laughed evilly. He got off Gogeta and threw him in the air. Gogeta tried getting control of his body but it wasn't working. As Gogeta came down, Apollo kicked Gogeta in the back as if he was a football, sending him in the air again. When Gogeta came down once more, Apollo allowed him to crash on the floor. Apollo picked him up by one leg and slammed his body on the hard floor back and forth like a rag doll. He swung him around and threw him in a pile of rubble. He shot out several ki blasts that caused Gogeta to scream in pain.

Gogeta once more focus in summoning his body to obey but the force Apollo had over his body was strong. Apollo had complete control. His clothes were getting torn in this unfair fight from the ends of the blue material, to his orange shirt which was partially torn in the center to the rip on his left calf. Blood was on Gogeta's lower lip, running from his nose, and leaking out from where his clothes were torn.

'I've got to find a way to beat him. What would Dad do?' Gogeta thought of his father Goku. 'He'd find a way out. I've got to summon my energy to break this spell Apollo has over my body, but how?'

Apollo picked Gogeta up. Apollo slapped Gogeta endlessly. "Pathetic. Hopefully, your father would put out a much better fight."

Gogeta looked at Apollo with one eye, as he was squinting the other in pain. "I'll get…you…for this."

Apollo laughed. "I'd like to see you try." He raised a right hand creating a large blast. He put it at Gogeta's stomach. The blast would surely put a hole through Gogeta if he didn't get away. "But it seems you can't."

Iris and Vegeta arrived to see Apollo holding a wounded Gogeta. Vegeta saw Gogeta getting ready to get blast away by Apollo. Vegeta formed an energy ball in his hand and fired on Apollo. The blast hit Apollo on his face and Gogeta was dropped to the ground unmoving.

Vegeta ran to Gogeta once he fell to the ground. He held his son up. Gogeta looked up at Vegeta confused. "Vegeta? What--" he started to ask but he had to warn him before anything else first. "No, get out of here! Apollo has this trick that he can freeze anyone! That's how he got me. I can't use my body because of him."

That didn't faze Vegeta. He was showing fatherly concern over his son and helping his son was more important to him now. "Never mind that. I'll get you out and fight Apollo. You did well."

Iris was on Gogeta's other side, helping him up. "I'll help you, too."

"You'll do no such thing!" A recovered Apollo yelled as he threw the same attack he did on Gogeta on Vegeta and Iris

Vegeta didn't feel any different at first but then he felt his body freezing up. "What is going on?!" He looked to Iris and noticed she was going through the same problem.

Iris gasped as she tried to use her muscles to move her body but they wouldn't obey her. "I don't know! I never knew Apollo could do this!"

"Idiot!" Vegeta called Iris angrily. "Don't you know anything about your brother?!"

Apollo laughed wickedly. "Now this is fun! Watch, sister as I destroy your boyfriend."

Iris summoned her powers to break her brother's spell on her but nothing happened. It seemed the more she tried, the more tired she gotten. It would take a tremendous amount of strength or Apollo's defeat to free them of this she thought to herself.

Apollo approached Vegeta who was struggling to control his body. "I wonder who you are." He punched Vegeta. "No one important." He fired a ki blast on him and Vegeta growled in anger from the cheap shot attack instead of quivering in fear as Apollo wanted. Not pleased with Vegeta's response, he attacked Vegeta with several punches to his face.

When he was done pounding Vegeta, Apollo walked over to a large pile of rubble and kicked some of the debris off. After much searching, he found his cape and sword he dropped on the floor as he prepared to fight Gogeta. He picked up his sword and swung it. "I wonder how much it will hurt if I stab one of you with it."

Gogeta eyes widen as he thought about Iris. Apollo had always hated his sister and wanted her dead. Gogeta then quickly realized Apollo wouldn't kill Iris because he wants her to suffer. He told her that as much several times. Apollo approached Gogeta with the sword. He used the sword to cut a line down his arm where blood seep through the open skin.

"I can kill you right now, but I want you to suffer as well. So I'll kill your friend here." Apollo threw the sword directly at Vegeta where it pierced through the Saiyan Prince's stomach before Gogeta's eyes.

"NO!!!" Gogeta yelled.

Vegeta cried in pain as he felt the sharp piece of metal tear through his skin, insides and out through his back. It hurt so much that a mouthful of blood spilled out of his mouth.

"Darn. I meant for it to go straight through his heart." he laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "He won't be living long anyway."

Apollo let his spell go, freeing Gogeta, Vegeta and Iris. Vegeta collapsed to the floor in pain as more blood spilled out of his mouth. Gogeta was at Vegeta's side in a flash. The Saiyan Prince was hurt badly with the sword buried in him as deep as it was. Gogeta carefully pulled the sword out, doing his best to avoid anymore damage organs. Blood was spilling out of Vegeta's stomach and back and another large amount of blood spilled out of his mouth. Gogeta tore off his blue shirt, split that in two and placed it on Vegeta's wounded stomach and back. He applied pressure to stop the bleeding but it was still coming out and soaked his shirt. Iris took Gogeta's hand off Vegeta's back and replaced it with her own as she applied pressure to stop the bleeding.

Iris looked at her brother hatefully and saw no remorse in his eyes. He was in fact enjoying seeing Vegeta lie on the floor wounded as he was.

"Vegeta," Gogeta said softly. "You're going to be all right."

"Do you actually think that?" Vegeta asked ruefully and coughed up more blood.

Gogeta saw his hand was becoming saturated in Vegeta's blood. He felt moisture on the edge of his eyes. This was not happening. Vegeta was not dying. Vegeta wasn't hurt badly like this. "Of course you are. You're Vegeta, Saiyan Prince. You're my Dad," he added proudly. "You can beat this."

Vegeta smiled feeling accepted by Gogeta. This wasn't the way he wanted it be--to hear his son call him Dad and truly accept him as his father, but if this was the only way, then so be it. He weakly put a hand over Gogeta's that was saturated in his blood. "I wish…that were…" he didn't get to finish his sentence as he closed his eyes.

"Vegeta?" Gogeta called hopefully. Vegeta didn't respond. He just laid there. No, this wasn't possible. Gogeta shook his head in denial. This wasn't happening. "VEGETA!!" Gogeta screamed.

Maylar: Thanks.

Lady Kouga: I think having Goku and ChiChi was the one of the few good things I did. The reviews are gonna be bad on this one.
