Author's Note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been really busy with these summer classes I've been taking. Hope this chapter is worth the wait!
Part Thirteen
Darkness surrounded him everywhere. He didn't know where he was, how he got there, or even who he was for that matter. Wherever he was, memory didn't exist. All he knew was that he was floating in the endless darkness…
Ah, it was bliss. Here there was no pain, no doubt, no fear…he felt nothing. And yet that troubled him. He had the feeling that he was supposed to be remembering something --- something important. But what was it?
Just then, a bright light appeared before him. He could make out several obscured figures within. He moved closer. The light dimmed down and he could see clearer.
He was standing in a room that looked familiar, only he couldn't remember when he had been there before. A group of people were gathered there: a man and a woman hugging a small girl, a teenaged boy staring hard at the wall; a man with black hair that stuck straight up, and a sorrowful looking, middle-aged woman who stood alone, tears falling from her eyes.
Something terrible must have happened; they all looked so sad. The little girl was crying. Tears were falling from the eyes of the middle-aged woman. The others had the same grave look on their faces. Their grief seemed radiate from the room, affecting him as well…
What was wrong? Did someone die, perhaps someone important to them? How could he feel their pain?
He was confused. Did he know these people? He couldn't have…but then why did they look so familiar? Why did he care that they were hurting?
The middle-aged woman looked up. Although she could not see him, she seemed to look right in his eyes…
Suddenly, the room and the people vanished. He found himself inside a bedroom. The woman he had seen earlier was there, sitting by the window. Many years seemed to have passed; her hair had grayed and her face was wrinkled.
The strange feeling of familiarity grew stronger. Maybe he had known this woman…
The old woman didn't sense him there. She just sat there, looking out the window. Her face was calm, yet her eyes were full of longing. It was almost as though she was waiting for something --- or rather, someone.
The scene changed once again. This time, he was in a remote, forested area of some sort. He saw a young, dark-haired woman walking around nearby. Her head was bowed down, so that her hair covered her face.
He felt the same, odd connection he felt with the other people he had seen. Did he know this woman too?
The woman raised her head ever so slightly. Her eyes were shiny with tears…With a thrill of shock, he realized that she was the same woman from before, only younger.
She walked towards a large tree that stood not too far away. She climbed it, sat on a thick, sturdy branch, and buried her face in her arms. Her shoulders were shaking, giving the impression that she was crying.
Images of the stricken faces of the people he'd seen before appeared before him, one by one…ending with the dark-haired woman.
Come back, she seemed to be pleading. Please come back…
And all at once, he remembered her --- he remembered all of them. They were his family.
Everything faded into darkness. The last thing he was aware of was that he seemed to be falling backwards.
Consciousness returned to him very suddenly, as though he had just awakened from a nightmare. The pain was the first thing he was aware of --- pain that coursed sharply through almost his entire body. It was so intense that he nearly passed out again…
He forced his eyes open. He was lying on a pile of rocks. Someone was standing nearby with his or her back towards him. Was it Sita?
Goku squinted. No, it didn't look like her; she appeared to be a young girl. Judging from her torn clothes and numerous cuts on her face and arms, she must have been through a war…
Slowly, he rose painfully to his feet. The girl, hearing him moan, turned around. She let out a high-pitched scream, looking as though she had just seen a ghost. Her fearful expression instantly changed into one of defiance.
"Another zombie, eh?" she snarled, positioning herself into a fighting stance. "Fine, I can handle one more!"
Goku blinked in confusion. What was she talking about? "Zombie?" he managed to croak out.
The girl stared at him, relaxing slightly. She looked up, fixing her gaze on something over his head. She went pale in shock. "Oh my…" she gasped, backing away from him. "You've come back! But…how?"
"What… are you… talking about?" Goku asked through gritting teeth. The pain was worsening by the minute. He clutched his broken arm, swaying slightly.
The girl seemed to get a hold of herself. Cautiously approaching him, she tore off the bottom of her ragged, dirty pants and starting wrapping the fabric around his wounds.
"I can't believe it," she muttered, shaking her head. "We saw you… you were dead! How is this possible?"
"I'm… still… dead," Goku managed to state, pointing feebly above his head, where his halo was.
"Not that kind of dead," the girl said impatiently. "Sita stole your spirit energy! You didn't exist in the afterlife anymore… how could anyone come back from that?"
Goku was about to ask her how she knew all this, yet at the mention of Sita, he looked around wildly. Where was Sita? The last thing he remembered was that he had been in Sita's tower, and now he was in a pile of rubble. How had he gotten here?
"Where ---?" he started to whisper, but the girl quickly silenced him.
"Don't worry," she said rather gently. "Sita's dead."
Goku let out a slow, hissing breath of relief. Sita was gone. After so long, it was finally over…
Still, it wasn't time to celebrate yet. Twenty-five years of emotional and physical torture and having his spirit energy stolen had taken its toll on Goku; he was very weak. From what he could understand from that girl, he had almost died in the afterlife… and whatever lucky break he'd been given didn't feel like he'd last much longer…
"C'mon!" the girl urged, supporting him by gripping his good arm. "We have to get you help." She cursed under her breath. "If only that portal was still here…"
"Goku! Goku, can you hear me?"
It was King Kai! Goku's eyes widened, elated to hear a familiar voice. Since he was no longer able to talk aloud, so he communicated to him mentally. "Yeah, I can hear you, King Kai."
"Goku! I can't believe it!" King Kai was exclaiming happily. "We thought you were gone for good! I was just about to tell your family when we saw you that you were alive --- well, sort of."
"What are you talking about?" Goku asked, puzzled.
"Baba and I were watching through her crystal ball," King Kai explained, "but I'll tell you more about that later; right now, we've got to get you out of here. Baba's going to open the portal…"
"No…I think I can use Instant Transmission…"
"Are you sure? It looks like you can barely stand!"
This was true, but Goku didn't care. He searched for King Kai's ki on the other side of Other World, and sure enough, he could sense it. "I…I think so."
"Well…okay," King Kai said slowly, although he sounded skeptical. "Just get out of here now, and bring Misai with you!"
"Misai?" Goku repeated aloud. She looked at the girl. "That's your name?" he inquired.
The girl stared at him, surprised. "How did you know?" she demanded.
"Never mind," he said in as strong a voice he could muster. "Just hang on, all right?" He placed two fingers to his forehead, concentrated on King Kai's ki, and the two of them vanished.
The next thing Goku knew, they were standing on Snake Way. His vision suddenly went foggy. He breathed heavily, his knees buckling, trying not to pass out.
Should have known, he thought weakly. Using Instant Transmission used up all the energy I got back. Through his hazy vision, he was able to make out the blurred figures King Kai and Baba hurrying towards them.
Misai let go of Goku's arm, taking in her new surroundings. If possible, she looked even more stunned than she had looked when she discovered Goku. "Oh my," she said in a high voice, looking from the pink sky above them to yellow path below them. "Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…"
Finally, she turned to Goku, her face stark white. "Where are we?" she whispered hoarsely.
But Goku wasn't able to answer her. Overwhelmed by pain and fatigue, he collapsed.
Goku awoke to find himself lying in an unfamiliar room. He sat up gingerly, glancing at his right arm. Amazingly, it had been healed. Looking down at himself, he found that all his cuts and burns had vanished. Not even a scar remained.
Slowly, he got out of bed, walked up to the window, and looked outside. He could see numerous figures on the grounds, sparring with each other. He recognized one of them as Pikkon.
He was back on Grand Kai's Planet --- inside Grand Kai's house, to be exact. Under normal circumstances, he would have been glad to be back on the planet where he had spent seven years. It was a good place to train, and there were lots of friends he had here --- not to mention the opportunity to get a lesson from Grand Kai about every thousand years…
But for some reason, he only felt sad to see it. Of course, he was grateful to be out of Hell, but the memory of his imprisonment would always remain.
It was strange. In the past, Goku was able to bounce back from anything. Even when his rage over Krillin's death at the hands of Frieza caused him to turn Super Saiyan for the first time, he eventually learned to harness the power without losing control…
But Sita had been different. True, she wasn't the most powerful villain he'd ever fought; she had used her spells to keep him subdued. But she had done what all the others he had fought had failed to do:
She had broken him.
It wasn't the physical torture or the draining spell she'd used that did it, agonizing as it was. A true enemy is someone who knows you, knows your vulnerabilities, and exposes them in the cruelest way imaginable.
In his case, his vulnerability had been his love for his family, and the painful knowledge that they hated him for leaving them…
For the millionth time, Chi-Chi's words echoed in his mind, piercing his heart like a sharp knife: "I hate him! I hate that he always leaves whenever he wants! It would be easier for everybody if he never came back!"
Who knew that three little words could hurt him so?
At first, Goku had thought that maybe he could fix things. But when he returned four weeks later, it was clear that the damage was done. Chi-Chi acted like nothing was wrong; she didn't start berating him for leaving…
But things were never the same between the two of them. She hardly spoke to him anymore. He understood why she slept on the opposite side of the bed, although it meant many lonely nights for me. She even didn't kiss him or hug him like she used to, and this hurt most of all.
He kept coming back about once every month with the optimistic hope that they'd be able to work it out, only to have those hopes dashed. It was clear that she no longer loved him.
He'd been so naïve. What had he been expecting? That she would just forgive him and act as though nothing had changed?
He knew that he deserved it. He didn't want to leave --- he just wanted to make sure that there would be someone to look out for the earth, since Gohan, Goten, and Trunks didn't want to fight anymore.
But he still left without a single thought of how his departure would affect his family; he just assumed that they would understand. Well, maybe Goten and Pan did, since they were only ones who would even talk to him whenever he visited them. All the same, he couldn't help wishing that he had done things differently.
I wonder how they're doing now, Goku thought, looking wistfully out the window. It's been twenty-five years…Pan's probably grown up by now.
For a moment, he wondered if Chi-Chi had found someone else after he died. His heart twisted at the thought, but perhaps it was for the best. She deserved to be with someone who made her happy, not someone who kept leaving her.
All of a sudden, a strange memory occurred in his mind. Sita's chamber. Sounds of fighting all around him. And lying injured right beside him was ---
Goku shook his head. It couldn't have been her, he told himself firmly. Why would she be in Hell? I must have been hallucinating…
He tore himself away from the window and started towards the door. He had to see King Kai and find out what was going on.
However, before he had the chance, the door opened and Misai entered.She seemed to be in a better condition then when Goku had first seen her. She had apparently had her injuries healed as well, save for the scars above her eye and her cheek. She also looked as though she had had her first bath in years. She was dressed in a blue training outfit and her hair up in a ponytail, that oddly reminded him of Chi-Chi when she had been her age…
Goku's heart sank at that thought. Just thinking about Chi-Chi was painful.
"Um… hi," Misai said awkwardly.
"Hi," Goku said.
Now that they were no longer in Hell, Goku was able to take a good look at the girl. Her tone had been friendly, and yet there was a faint look of distrust in her eyes. She stood so stiffly, like she was in a room with a ferocious lion instead of with a man.
She stared at Goku, her hard gaze penetrating him. "So you're the man I've heard so much about," she mused. "Son Goku…"
Goku blinked. "How did you know?"
"You've sent a lot of your enemies to Hell," Misai replied sardonically. "I was locked up in the same place they were. They curse you all the time down there; I practically know their rants by heart."
Goku pictured Frieza, Cell, and everyone else he fought all locked up together in Hell, and couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he'd laughed in twenty-five years… and as brief as, it was refreshing.
"From I've heard, you're a great warrior," Misai continued, her smile widening. "You had to have been to fight all of them: Raddiz, Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu…"
"I didn't really defeat some of them," Goku admitted. "My friend, Piccolo, killed Raddiz --- I was just the one that held him so he couldn't escape. A boy named Trunks killed Frieza and his father. And my oldest son ---"
He trailed off. Thinking about Gohan was painful too.
Misai raised her eyebrows. "Well, at least you're modest," she said, looking impressed. "I wasn't expecting that. All of the warriors on Vishnu --- that's the planet where I'm from, by the way --- were so arrogant that it was impossible to believe that they actually cared enough to save others."
Goku sat down on the bed. "Do you want to sit down?" he offered.
Misai's smile immediately vanished, replaced with a suspicious --- almost fearful --- expression. "You mean… on the bed?" she asked faintly.
"Uh… yeah," Goku replied, bewildered at her reaction, "unless you want to sit on the floor?"
Misai stood there for a moment. Then she reluctantly she sat down. She was careful to place as much distance between the two of them as possible.
Goku scratched the back of his head. Why is she acting so weird? he wondered. It's not like I'm gonna hurt her…
"You've been out for quite a while," Misai commented. "Your friends contacted some guy named Kabito-Kai. He teleported over here and healed us, but I guess you needed some rest after everything you've been through."
Goku was surprised; he hadn't seen Kabito-Kai since the fight with Majin Buu. "I'll have to thank him the next time I see him," he remarked. He paused. "So why were you in Hell, anyway?"
Misai blinked. "I thought you'd guess that I was a bad person. I mean, why else would I be in Hell?"
Goku shook his head. "I don't think you're a person. If you were, King Kai would have never told me to bring you here."
"You --- You believe that?" she asked incredulously.
He nodded.
"I don't believe this… back on Vishnu, men wouldn't have trusted women if their lives depended on it!"
Goku frowned. "That's ridiculous!"
"You think so?" Misai asked lightly. "Then again, I've heard you have a habit of trusting everybody."
He shrugged. "Unless they give me a reason not to."
She bit her lip. "It was because of Sita," she said quietly. "I made the mistake of trusting her. I asked her to help me escape from Vishnu, and she sent me to Hell." She laughed sardonically. "Never trust a witch."
"Was Vishnu really that bad?" Goku asked.
"Oh, I don't know," Misai replied, looking at the floor. "Hell was much worse, though at least I got to fight in there. On Vishnu, all women could do was be wives and mothers."
"Well, what did you want to do?" he inquired.
She hesitated. "You'll think it's stupid."
"Why?"
"Because you're a man."
Goku couldn't see what the big deal was. "So?"
"The men on Vishnu thought it was unheard of."
"I'm not from Vishnu," he told her flatly. "C'mon, tell me!"
"I… I wanted to be a warrior."
"A warrior?" Goku was interested. "That's not stupid at all. I knew a lot of women who were fighters. How come they didn't let women fight on Vishnu?"
"According to tradition, all we were good for was cooking, cleaning, and bearing children," Misai said resentfully. "And if we didn't do what we were told --- well, let me put it to you this way…" She pointed to the scar on above her eye. "This is what I got on my wedding night."
Goku stared her, horrified at what he was hearing. "Oh Kami!"
"It's not the worst thing that happened to me," Misai said grimly.
"They had no right to do that!" he said fiercely. "Nobody does!"
"You're the first man I've met who thinks that way," she said bitterly.
Goku opened his mouth to say more, but low, growling sound cut him off. He looked down at his stomach, thinking that it had made. A person could exist without food in the afterlife; otherwise, he would have died of starvation in Hell. Still, this was the longest he had ever gone without something to eat…
Then he looked at Misai, who was also rubbing her stomach. He noticed, with some concern, how thin she was.
"You hungry?"
"Oh… wow!" Misai exclaimed as she devoured her fourth helping of rice.
She and Goku were in Grand Kai's dining room. They sat at a long, rectangular table that was covered with dozens of plates of delicious food. Needless to say, it hadn't taken long for Goku or Misai to start digging in.
"I have never eaten this much in my life!" she exclaimed. "Or in my afterlife for that matter! In Hell, all I ever got was bread and water! I mean, I didn't starve or anything, but still… oh, this is great!"
"Food is good," Goku agreed with a grin. "Hey, take it easy," he added as she ate even more rapidly, "you'll make yourself sick."
"You should talk," Misai retorted. "You've gone through seven plates already!"
"I'm a Saiyan; I always eat this much," he explained.
"So I've heard," she said wryly. She looked down at her empty bowl, her expression thoughtful. "By way… I almost forgot to thank you."
"For what?" he asked.
"For getting me out of Hell," she said softly. "I really thought that I was stuck there for good."
"Hey, it's no problem," he said good-naturedly. "Are you going to stay on Grand Kai's planet, then?"
"It looks like it. Fortuneteller Baba took me to King Yemma while you were out. I wasn't judged when I died because Sita threw me in Hell. I don't know if I've been a really good person, since I never saved the word or anything like that, but he let me keep my body. And because I helped get rid of Sita, he said that I could stay here if I wanted to."
"What are doing at Sita's tower, anyway?" Goku asked curiously, voicing something he'd been wondering about for quite some time.
"Actually, I was looking for you," Misai replied. "Or rather, I was helping someone look for you."
"Me?" Goku repeated, surprised. "Who'd be looking for me?"
"Does the name, Chi-Chi, ring a bell?" Misai asked slyly.
Goku felt as though he'd been struck by a lightening bolt. "Chi-Chi?" he yelped, unable to believe his ears. "My wife? She was looking for me?"
"Yep," Misai nodded.
"She was in Hell?" he cried in alarm. "Why? She never did anything bad!"
"No, she didn't do anything bad," she assured him. "She was looking for you ever since she came to Other World. And the second she found out that Sita took you, she made Baba open a portal to Hell so that she could find you.
"Unfortunately, the ogres caught her and locked her up in the prison. That's where I met her…"
And so Misai told him the whole story. She told him how she and Chi-Chi escaped from the prison. How Chi-Chi kept worrying about what was happening to him in Hell. How they came to Sita's chamber and found Goku, moments away from fading into nonexistence. How Sita revealed that she had used Chi-Chi's words to kill Goku in the first place, and the battle that ensued…
"Wait!" Goku exclaimed, interrupting Misai. "I… I think I saw the two of you back there! Chi-Chi was lying next to me… and she was hurt…"
"You remember what happened next?" Misai asked, frowning.
He screwed his face up, attempting to remember. "I don't know… it's kind of hazy…"
"Well, considering the condition you were in, I'm not surprised," she replied matter-of-factly. "You were probably delirious."
"Then what did happen?" Goku wanted to know.
"Chi-Chi was hurt really badly, and I was fighting Sita --- and losing," Misai explained, her face grim. "I think Sita would have won right then and there if you hadn't come along. Apparently, you woke up long to give Chi-Chi your last bit of spirit energy… and then you died." She paused. "I still can't believe you did that," she said in a quiet, awed voice.
Hearing this, despite not remembering it, didn't really surprise Goku. "Why is it hard to believe?" he asked naively. "If Chi-Chi was in trouble, I would have given my spirit energy to her."
"Even at the cost of your own life?"
"What else was I supposed to do, let her die?" He shook his head vehemently. "Never. If --- If anything happened to her that I could prevented from happening… I'd never forgive myself."
Misai just stared at him, like she was really seeing him for the first time "You really do love her, don't you?" she asked in a rather strained voice.
Goku nodded absentmindedly. Words simply failed him. All this time, he thought that she hated him, yet she risked everything, for him. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice that Misai had turned away from him, hurriedly wiping her eyes.
"There's nothing much to say after that," she said after a while. "We guessed that the source of Sita's powers was her staff, so I managed to take it and break it while Chi-Chi distracted her. It destroyed her powers, turning her into an old hag. Chi-Chi cut off her head.
"We got out right before the place collapsed. Then Chi-Chi went back to Other World. I thought I ought to go back, dig you out, and give you a proper burial… and here we are," she concluded.
"Wow," was all Goku could say.
"Now, if you'll pardon my language, you need to get off your ass and find her," Misai said matter-of-factly. "She was really upset the last time I saw her; she kept blaming herself for what happened to you."
Goku frowned. He didn't want Chi-Chi to be upset over him… Part of him was overjoyed to know that she still cared, and yet part of him still wondered whether he deserved her love.
"I just don't understand," he said slowly. "All this time I thought she hated me, and to be honest, I wouldn't have blamed her. Why would she risk everything for me, after everything I put her through?"
"Because she loves you!" Misai said exasperatedly. "She told me that she knows why you left, and she's not mad at you anymore! But I shouldn't be telling you this --- you need to talk it out with her."
He nodded. "I know."
"Besides," she added with a small smile, "if she was willing to go to Hell and fight a powerful witch just to be with you, you had to have done something right."
Goku smiled, feeling happier than he'd felt in years. Chi-Chi still loved him! Hope arose within him. Perhaps there was a chance to fix things after all!
"Oh, go find her already," Misai said impatiently, rolling her eyes. "She's probably crying her eyes out somewhere."
"Right," Goku replied, dazed. "Can't have that."
"Hey, Goku!"
Goku and Misai turned around to see King Kai entering the room. "I thought this was the first place I'd find you. How are you feeling?"
"I'm all right," Goku said cheerfully. "Listen --- can you tell me where Chi-Chi is? I really need to see her."
"I haven't seen her since she got out of Hell," King Kai said apologetically. "She's probably on the good planet; it's the only other place she could be. I wanted to contact her when Kabito-Kai healed you, but a certain someone ---" he shot a dirty look at Misai --- "convinced us not to until after you came around."
"Hey, I thought you ought to know the truth before you saw her again, so that you wouldn't start yelling at her for supposedly betraying you to Sita," Misai said defensively.
"I wouldn't have done that!" Goku said indignantly. "I didn't even believe that Chi-Chi would have gone to her on purpose."
"I miracle you're even here!" King Kai told him, shaking his head. "How did you come back?"
"You know, I've been wondering that myself," Misai said, folding her arms. "At first I thought all the spirit energy Sita took came back to you when her staff broke… but you were still dead when I found you."
"That could have been it," Goku said thoughtfully, "but I don't think I had the will to exist anymore, because of Sita. I didn't want to come back… not yet…
"I think maybe it had something to do with this dream I had… I think I had it when I died in Sita's tower… It kind of reminded me of the one I had when I fought Frieza on Namek…"
"What do you mean?" Misai inquired.
"Well, Frieza died to drown me and it almost worked," Goku explained. "Except I had a vision of what would happen to my friends and family if Frieza won, so I forced myself to survive.
"Maybe I didn't want to come back this time… after all, I thought that my family hated me. I think someone --- or something --- was telling me I was still needed, because I saw my family. They were all upset about something, only I didn't know what it was… then I think I saw Chi-Chi in Other World, because she looked younger than the last time I saw her alive… and she was crying…
He struggled to find the words. "It was almost like… they were calling me back."
"So that, along with your spirit energy that was released when Sita died, helped bring you back," Misai figured out. "Weird…"
"Well, I'll see you in a while, guys," Goku said brightly. He got up and started to leave. "I'm going to find Chi-Chi and bring her back here…"
"Bring her here?" King Kai repeated, frowning.
"Of course I want to bring her here!" Goku replied simply. "I want to stay with her from now on."
King Kai suddenly looked nervous. "Oh --- well --- I'm afraid that's not simple," he said awkwardly.
Goku stopped in front of the doorway. He turned around. "Why not?" he asked, worried.
"Chi-Chi can't stay here, Goku."
"WHAT?" Goku and Misai both shouted at the same time.
"Why not?" Misai demanded angrily.
"The Grand Kai's planet is reserved for fighters," King Kai informed them wearily. "Chi-Chi wasn't a fighter in her life, so she can't stay here."
"Aw, come on, King Kai!" Goku protested. "Chi-Chi used to be a fighter before we got married? Doesn't that count?"
King Kai shook his head. "Not according to Grand Kai."
"That's not fair!" Misai exploded. Her eyes were ablaze with fury. "King Yemma said that I could stay here, and I wasn't a fighter in life! I wasn't even the one who killed Sita --- Chi-Chi did!"
"I know that, but Grand Kai said that you could stay because you were still training before you died," King Kai explained. "I tried to get him to make an exception for the rules, but Grand Kai wouldn't budge."
"I don't believe this!" Misai snarled. "Just who does that bastard think he is?"
"Misai, you can't insult the Grand Kai!" King Kai hissed. "If he hears you, he'll throw you off this planet!"
"I don't care if he's the Grand Kai or not!" Misai fumed. "Doesn't he know what Chi-Chi went through? The two of us had to fight ogres, zombies, and a powerful, bloodthirsty witch to save her husband, and now you're telling us that she can't even be with him?"
"I know, I know," King Kai said sadly. "It isn't fair, but he said that she could visit you whenever she wants."
"But I don't want to just visit her!" Goku said pleadingly. "I want to be with her! Can't he just make an exception?"
"I'm sorry," King Kai said, and he truly looked it. "I did everything I could, but I couldn't change Grand Kai's mind."
Goku just stood there, stunned. He was all set to see Chi-Chi again, and then this happens. What am I going to do? he wondered. No…that's a silly think to ask. I know what I'm gonna do…and this time, I know I'm doing the right thing…
"I don't believe this," Misai muttered in disappointment. "She doesn't deserve to spend eternity alone!"
"No, she doesn't," Goku said fiercely. "And she won't be alone --- not if I have anything to do with it."
King Kai and Misai stared at him dubiously. "What are you talking about?" King Kai asked.
Goku didn't even hear him. "I've have to go," he muttered. "I'll see you later." And with that, he raced out the room.
To be continued…
A/N: Sorry to keep you guys in suspense, but this is the last cliffhanger, I promise. I had to rewrite it a couple of times. Anyway, I didn't have to reply to reviews this time because I've been so busy. Maybe I'll do it next time. Stay tuned for the conclusion!
