Bound
Chapter 9
I won't say it this time. You all know that I don't own Dragon Ball Z. Darn. I just said it. Oh well! I hope that you're in the mood to find out what happens next!
________________________________________________________________________
The wind ruffled around Goku as he stared in shock. Out of the torture he suffered during his abduction, he never expected to face his family or friends again on Earth and find out that his life wasn't the life he was forced to live under Sin. The man that stood before him was a representation of his forgotten race as he yearned for the answers he was looking for during the past few nights now.
However, nothing could prepare him for what stood in front of him as he felt torn apart again seeing an exact copy of himself standing in the robes in front of him.
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" yelled Goku as he got up angrily with his tail lashing behind him.
"I thought this was the answers you were looking for," the doppelganger stood up in a less threatening manner as Goku looked rather pissed off.
"Why are you still talking like that?" said Goku.
"You may have forgotten your ancestry, but even you should be able to remember our native language," said the doppelganger.
"Who are you?" hissed Goku.
"I am Kakarotto," said the doppelganger. "I am the true reason you are still alive and the reason that you are not completely whole in mind, body, and soul."
"I have no idea why you're here then, but leave me alone!" hissed Goku.
"You cannot hide the fact that you aren't whole though," said Kakarotto as Goku admitted that he was indeed right. "You need me to be whole and you cannot exist without me. So stop running away."
"I'm not running away," growled Goku as he felt a sting in his heart again.
"You are lying to yourself again," said Kakarotto as he drew closer to Goku. "A part of you yearns for the answers, but the answers are within me."
"If you are so sure, then show me," commanded Goku as Kakarotto gently guided his tail and twined around his. "What..."
"You want the answers, didn't you?" said Kakarotto as he pressed his forehead against Goku's. Kakarotto's tail began to rub against Goku's as he felt a reflection of that sensation from his counterpart. Before he could question him, he was assaulted by memories that were once a part of him as he saw other Saiya-jins before getting sent out into space. He saw his grandfather and saw how he acted, thought, and was around him as everything Master Roshi said about him in front of Radditz years ago was a complete lie.
'He abused us because he thought we acted so different,' thought Goku as Kakarotto seemed to mirror his thoughts.
"Do you see now why you aren't human?" said Kakarotto as Goku felt guilty.
"Yes, but if we merge, what will happen to us?" said Goku.
"You will become whole," said Kakarotto as the Earth-raised Saiya-jin looked into his eyes. He saw no lies in them as he closed his eyes.
"Then please, make me complete..." said Goku as he knelt down on the ground before Kakarotto. Goku felt Kakarotto press him down onto his stomach, completely outstretched as Kakarotto pressed his hands gently upon Goku's back. Mumbling a chant, he faded as Goku's soul felt a surge. Unable to hold back from the surge, Goku screamed as instincts and memories jumbled within his mind and his tail lashed around. Eventually, he felt the surge of energy subside as he rolled over on his back, panting hard as sweat ran down his face. His tail was no longer lashing like it was moments earlier as Goku closed his eyes. 'I am whole...'

As Goku started to come to, he saw Sin and Vegeta as he felt angry. Jerking against the chains, he found himself bound to the wall unable to break free.
"Finally awake, I see," said Sin. "I was just admiring your planet a few minutes ago. Too bad it has to be destroyed just to see you suffer."
"Zoi sa, Sin," hissed Goku in Saiya-go as Sin heard the foreign language roll of the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's tongue like he knew the language all of his life. "Kamih Zennia kane tute vorta!"
"Vegeta, can you translate what Kakarotto is saying?" said Sin.
"Certainly," said Vegeta completely emotionless. "He cursed your name and wants you to leave Earth out of this."
"Vegeta, sa cortaus," said Goku angrily as he strained against the chains that bound him from attacking. "Mai sa futa daza pannisa ta Zennia?"
"O moi-in hieteti futa," said Vegeta. "Sin séme mai doza côt zabuca."
"O hõt sa!" yelled Goku. "Utï mai sa botora côtra radia?"
"Samit sa, O borta côtra raida gairut côtra dora et fora," said Vegeta.
"Are you two done talking in that outdated language yet?" said Sin.
"Zortint sa!" yelled Goku as Vegeta slapped Goku in the face for the insult the Earth-raised Saiya-jin gave. He remained motionless as Vegeta growled softly.
"What did he say?" said Sin.
"He said 'fuck you,'" said Vegeta.
"Beat him while I tend to other things," said Sin as he left the room.
"Zortint sa, sa lamata," cursed Goku under his breath as Vegeta grabbed him by his neck and drew his attention back to his face.
"You aren't the one in the chains," said Vegeta.
"So what?" said Goku breaking out of Saiya-go briefly. "Sa mortu nati quitatan iot aiya-jin forta. Teni u Saiya-jin et bioturus ut poreta..."
"Côt míné goriotora..." said Vegeta as he grew pale.
Goku smirked as he yelled bitterly as his muscles bulged and the chains snapped off his wrists.
*** Goku's POV ***
I woke up as I saw Sin and Vegeta both there talking. I wanted no more than to get out of these chains that bind me to the walls and keep me from beating the shit out of both of them.
"Finally awake, I see," said Sin's voice as I hold my tongue. "I was just admiring your planet a few minutes ago. Too bad it has to be destroyed just to see you suffer." That remark hit me hard as I began to talk, but not in the universal language.
"Damn you, Sin," I hiss angrily in my native language. I don't know why I'm talking in it, but it seems strangely right at this time. "Leave Earth out of this!"
"Vegeta, can you translate what Kakarotto is saying?" said Sin.
"Certainly," said Vegeta completely emotionless. "He cursed your name and wants you to leave Earth out of this."
"Vegeta, you traitor," I say angrily as I try to break free from the chains that bind me from knocking Vegeta straight into the wall. "Do you care what happens to Earth?"
"I don't really care," Vegeta tells me as I feel a sting in my heart. At that moment, I wanted to beat him into the ground until he's dead, but a part of me remains sane enough to try and break the control on Vegeta as he continues, "Sin can do what he desires."
"I hate you!" I yell as I get my point across easily. For once, I lost my respect in the Saiya-jin Prince. He was more arrogant than usual and I didn't care if he begged for mercy the moment I freed myself from the chains. "Why do you follow his orders?"
"Unlike you," started Vegeta, "I follow his orders because his word is law."
"Are you two done talking in that outdated language yet?" Sin speaks as I decide to go against my master by cursing him in our language how much I hated him.
"Fuck you!" I yell as Vegeta slaps me in the face. It was worth the beating though as I laugh within my mind as I remain totally motionless.
"What did he say?" said Sin.
"He said 'fuck you,'" said Vegeta.
"Beat him while I tend to other things," said Sin as he leaves. Good! Now's my chance to escape!
"Fuck you, you bastard," I say softly as Vegeta hears what I say and brings my head back to where I could see him.
"You aren't the one in the chains," said Vegeta.
"So what?" I say as I broke out of Saiya-go briefly before continuing, "You must have forgotten the Saiya-jin law. What a Saiya-jin is defeated in battle..." Vegeta suddenly pales as I mentally laugh at the priceless look on his face. I wanted my freedom, so I guess this is the perfect time to do so.
"...he gets stronger," finished Vegeta as I smirk and finally start powering up. The chains easily broke off my wrists as I slam his head into the wall.
"Take me to Sin right now or I'll kill you where you stand," I hiss.
*** 3rd Person POV ***
Sin looked in his lab for the Universal Translator he created long ago when he enslaved a Saiya-jin similar to Goku. Finding the small device the size of a watch battery, he put it in his ear as the door exploded open. Smoke filled the room as Vegeta flies right through it and goes crashing into a lab table, knocking off vials and tubes as it all goes crashing to the floor. As the smoke slowly settled, Sin stared in horror as Goku stood in the doorway in his ascended Super Saiya-jin form, his tail lashing behind him seductively.
"Sin, you will pay for kidnapping my son along with Vegeta and Piccolo," hissed Goku as a stray lightening bolt from his aura hit the floor in front of Sin's feet, leaving a scorch mark.
"I'm not afraid of you," said Sin as Goku heard him perfectly in Saiya-go.
"What type of trickery is this?" said Goku. "A few minutes ago, you didn't understand a word that I said!"
"Thanks to the technology I possess, I can understand you perfectly," said Sin. "Since you are willing to risk your life to save your friends, let me show you something that will make you reconsider your options."
"What in the fuck are you talking about?" said Goku as Sin went to a tube that was covered up. Removing the veil, Goku stared in horror as he saw... "Dende!"
"Ah, a friend of yours, huh?" said Sin. "He came willingly and he will soon create a dragon that will destroy cities."
"Leave Dende out of this!" yelled Goku.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that," said Sin. "You have all ready told me to leave Earth out of the deal."
"You bastard," hissed Goku as Sin seemed to be enjoying the look on the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's face. His aura seemed to fluctuate as Goku growled.
"Tell you what," said Sin as he turned on a monitor as Earth came into view. "You can choose which one you want more: the Earth or its guardian."
"What?" said Goku as he grew angrier as his hair started to sway in the aura.
"I don't really care much about the planet," said Sin, "so I'll do you a favor and destroy it..."
"No!" cried Goku as Sin pressed a button on the control panel.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Outside on the ship, a powerful gun that resembles a metallic flower opens as a ball of energy was on it. The gun was locked on to the blue orb orbiting the sun known as Earth as the gun was fired straight into the planet. On the planet, tsunamis hit the land as the planet started to break apart. People were screaming as earthquakes shook the foundation. Before the planet exploded, Goku felt the panic of Earth's people and heard the prayers to Kami as they went unanswered. In a blinding explosion, Earth was no more as debris were scattered into space.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the Other World, Shin felt and heard the pleas as he shuttered and fell to the ground. Trunks and Goten saw the dynasty on the ground and stopped training as they walked over to him confused.
"What is it?" said Goten.
"Earth..." said Shin as Goten and Trunks gasped.
"Yeah, what about it," said Trunks.
"It's been destroyed," said Shin as Kibito looked at the boys as they transformed into Super Saiya-jins.
"No!" cried Goten as tears came to his eyes.
"Damn that fucking bastard!" yelled Trunks. "We need to stop him!"
"We can't," said Kibito. "He's too powerful now that he's corrupted Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo.
"My dad's in that monster's hands?" yelled Trunks as his aura sent a shockwave that knocked Kibito off his feet. "NO!"
"GOHAN!" cried Goten as another shockwave shook the planet as the two dynasties watched the boys ascend before they both passed out.
"What power!" said Shin.
"If Sin is not defeated, then these two will have to take the other warrior's place," said Kibito cryptically as Shin summoned a crystal ball.
"Let's hope that he wins," said Shin as they waited.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sin was laughing evilly as Goku hissed angrily as his tail lashed violently behind him. His eyes were completely blank and red as his body shuttered. The aura that was fluctuating was now roaring as a pure adulterating scream emitted from the Saiya-jin's throat. His hair wavered in the aura as it began to spill down his back as his back was completely arced backwards. The spaceship shook as Sin fell violently to the floor. The hood flew off his head for the first time as his shoulder-length blue hair went flying behind him. His face was completely pale due to the lack of sunlight as his eyes were similar to Freeza's: cold, uncaring, and greedy. His eyes shifted from all those things into a look of pure horror as he gazed upwards and was petrified at the sight.
"Why..." hissed Goku as his eyes looked strained under the hairless brows. "Why did you provoke me?"
"What power is this?" said Sin scared shitless as the former happy-go-lucky Saiya-jin seemed to be no longer the same Earth-raised Saiya-jin he was minutes ago. Instead, he looked like he was possessed by the devil himself. His tail was a deep crimson color instead of the light brown color that it would normally have as the golden hair was a deeper color than it normally would be as it cascaded to his waist; hovering inches from the base of his tail.
"The power that you provoked from deep within my soul," growled Goku as his voice sounded rather menacing. "The power that will be your undoing."

"Are you afraid?" said Goku in a mocking voice as he took another step forward towards his former captor. "You should be..."
"I'm not afraid of you!" hissed Sin as he growled and took another step back and bumped into the control panel. "I can easily destroy you at any given time."
"Prove it then, or are you a coward?" said Goku icily.
Gohan, whatever Sin did to you has made you angry at me. You need to break the spell that he put upon you, mind, body, and soul. I know you can do this!
Just leave me alone! roared Gohan as he hissed in pain. I already told you that I don't care about you anymore!
