Chapter 4

Goku squeeze himself through the horrified crowd. Having difficulty passing through with so many people glued to each other.

"Oi! Oi! What the hell is going on here?! Move it! Move it!" Kenren yelled, pushing a man aside.

"Eh! Shuddup!" the man snapped.

"Nandato?! Konno baka oyaji!"

The man highered his chest at Kenren. Kenren did the same. Both of them snarled at each other at the same time: "Hm...!"

Half the crowd crowded around them and watch, (the tradisional stand around and do nothing) thinking "Nice show! Nice show!" That made it easier for Goku to pass.

"Nataku! Okairi!" Goku cried, but froze when he saw Nataku's condition.

Blood run down Nataku's right shoulder. He was limping and could barely walk. Nobody bothered to help him. All they did was gasping and mumuring to each other: "Oh my goodness" "Poor thing" "What happened?" "He wasn't this weak..."

"Na-Nataku? Nataku! Daijobuka?" Goku cried, pushing everybody aside and ran towards him.

"Huh?" Nataku looked up. "It's you."

"What happened to you? Who did this to you?" Goku asked panically.

Nataku didn't answer. He pushes pass Goku with his left hand and force himself to continue walking. As his body can't keep it up, he colapse on to the ground. The crowd gasped.

"Nataku!"

Nataku's room

Nataku woke up and found himself on his bed. His blur sight slowly turns clear and he can see the same old boring ceiling in his small dark room. But no sign of anyone.

Negative things appear in his mind. Does anyone care about me? Am I just a killing puppet to them? Is everybody using me? Am I born for this? Why? Why...?

He push himself up with his hands and sat up. He clutch his right shoulder with his left hand in pain due to the war he had just been through. He thought for a moment and remembered the day when he promised Goku to show him around Heaven. He so wish he could be free, just for a while, to be with his friend...

Nataku heard footsteps coming towards his room. Louder and louder as it comes nearer. Nataku quickly slumber back on his bed and pretended to sleep. Doing it in a hurry, he forgotten all about his injured shoulder and landed hard on it. "Ow!"

"Nobody here," a man said, just outside Nataku's room. "We can talk."

"Hey," another man said. "Don't you feel something really wierd is going on?"

"Eh?" the first man asked.

"Don't you feel that the greatest Fighting God so far, Nataku, is getting weaker by the moment?"

"Ahh! Maybe he fought too much and and got beaten up many times till he got bored of it. Besides, he's just a killing puppet, no ig deal."

"You don't seem to be worried at all. What are we going to do if Nataku can't fight anymore? We have to fight for ourselves then."

The first man laughed. "Don't you remember? A new God has been born not long ago. I don't know where it came from but it's somewhere around Nataku's age according to Li Tou Ten. I bet he's going to use it as another killing puppet. That way, we can relax!"

"You're right." the second man remembered. "We're free!"

Both of them laughed a very cold laugh.

Nataku felt sad.
