"We've gathered all the necessary fragments," a voice whispered in the darkness. It was a figure shrouded in the darkness of a cave. "All we need is the technology to mix the DNA." The monster chuckled. It wagged it's deadly tail upon the ground, sharpening the blade.
It placed two jars on top a boulder, eyes gleaming proud and excited. Seperated between the jars with trickles of Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr's blood. More blood stained Goku's jar than Vegeta's. Again the monster laughed, "I will do more than kill them... I will humiliate them by destroying them with their own blood!"
With that, the monster left the two jars on top the boulder in the deepest of the most hidden cave of the mountains.
[Trinity Hospital, Mountains]
Goku jr had just woken up. His eyes were still sprinkled of sleepiness. He felt something warm on top his stomach. He rubbed his eyes to adjust them and saw that it was grandma Pan!
Feeling weak, he sat up and placed grandma Pan to end of the bed carefully. Goku rubbed his back and felt for pain, but he felt fine besides the wound on his arm. He found bandages wrapped around his shoulder and began rubbing them. "It's not too bad..." Goku muttered. He stood up and realized that he was in a hospital and was wearing a patient's garment. "I always hated these!" he hissed.
"Mmmm... Goku, put your pants back on you idiot..."
Goku spun around with a nervous look on his face.
Fortunately Pan was just dreaming. Apparently about scolding Goku.
The young saiyan smiled brightly. Quietly in his mind Goku thanked his grandma for remaining with him through his pain. And with that he left the room for some fresh air, of course pulling on a pair of shorts first.
The day was clear, no cloud in sight. It was sunny yet not too hot, just the way Goku liked it. He sniffed the fresh air and sighed of relief. There was a plain of grass that he could see outside the halls, he turned a corner heading for the door and...
"Will he be alright doctor?" Tsumi was in a room at Trinity hospital, concerned with Vegeta's already 2 day unconciousness. She had stayed with him the second day, the first she had to bring some things to stay over night.
"I'm not sure exactly. It seems that he was knocked on the head quite hard, it may lead to concussion. He also bares a series of scars from his stomach and up. A deep thrash into his left shoulder and numerous bruises," the doctor explained. He was also utterly worried about Vegeta, never in his career has he seen such damage.
Tsumi heard this and started to cry, "Oh Vegeta..." she sniffed while staring at the silent body. She didn't want to touch him in case of any pain she may cause.
The saiyan laid there with a lifeless expression, his hair was ruffled, unwashed since the battle.
Tsumi couldn't bare the silence any longer and decided to take a walk, but before that the doctor told her that he would have to perform some surgery on his stomach and shoulder.
Tsumi strolled along the halls. Men watched her as she passed by, thinking of her as a slut. This made the blonde uncomfortable and a tad bit pissed off. She began walking faster, trying to ignore the interested eyes.
"Hey you, aren't you going to ask me for fun?" a man suddenly grabbed her arm and grinned at her.
She spun around to look at him. The man looked like he was demented! He had a cast on his left arm and his eyes were all funny looking. Tsumi pulled her arm away and began running with her eyes closed and as she turned a corner...
BAM!
"Are you alright miss?" Goku helped Tsumi up from the ground.
"Get away from me!" Tsumi made a fist and attempted to punch Goku, but he easily snatched it before it reached his face.
"I'm sorry did I make you angry?" Goku asked innocently.
The blonde opened her eyes and saw Goku's handsome face staring dumb-foundedly at her. It was so cute like a kid. "Um..." Tsumi blushed like a tomato. "I'm sorry, I was just uh..."
"I was just going out for some fresh air, sorry to bother you miss..." Goku began walking out the door.
"Wait!" Tsumi called.
The young saiyan turned around.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. My name is Tsumi Konoho, can I join you outside? I think I need some fresh air myself," Tsumi asked and bowed to apologize.
Goku stared blankly for a minute and smiled, "the more the merrier!" he grabbed Tsumi's wrist fragily and ran outside. When they had gotten outside, Goku took Tsumi under a tree and just fell to his back. He loved the feel of soft blades of grass rubbing against his back.
Tsumi hesitated before sitting down.
"Ahhhh! I missed the grass..." Goku yawned of relief.
"So what's your name?" Tsumi asked.
"Oh! Eheh," Goku chuckled. "I've forgotten to introduce myself, how rude of me. I'm Goku! Well actually, Goku Jr. My great great grandpa was Goku."
"Oh? Nice to meet you Goku," Tsumi held out a hand.
Goku made his usual blank look. He took Tsumi's hand in both of his and felt around her fingers. "Ooo, your fingers are so soft! They're like what mom's used to be like..." Goku just closed his eyes peacefully as he felt her soft palm.
Tsumi blushed and whipped her arm back, "Er, what do you mean 'used' to be like...?"
"Isn't it obvious? She's dead," Goku answered as if it was no big deal.
"Oh... I'm sorry. My parents are also past away..." Tsumi stared at the ground depressed.
"Did I make you sad?" Goku asked, now effected by the change of emotion. "It's okay! Parents are always alive!" Goku jumped up with a smile. He stuck his face right in front of Tsumi's. This of course shocked her.
"Um..." She staggered.
"See! They're always here!" Goku placed a palm on his chest, where his heart is. Then he took Tsumi's right hand and placed it over her chest.
Tsumi thought for a moment and stared at Goku's innocent smile. "You're right." She thought there was nothing wrong with having something to believe, and she didn't want to ruin Goku's smile. "Come on! Let's have some breakfast!" Tsumi stood up and grabbed Goku's arm, leading him to the cafeteria.
"Breakfast?! YeaH!!! I'm starving!" Goku realized as he rubbed his tummy.
Tsumi kept on running, but laughed like she hadn't laughed since her childhood as she heard Goku's funny rumbling sound of his hunger.
"Um, Tsumi do I have to pay?" Goku asked with a nervous smile.
Tsumi just smiled, "Darn right! It's appropriate for a man to pay for a woman!"
Goku groaned.
"Cutting utensils..." the doctor ordered under his breath. This was going to be a hard procedure. He had to first open up Vegeta's stomach and check for what's causing the pain and then close it up with stitches, all the while being careful not to cut any veins or other body parts that could cause bleeding or certain death.
A nurse came in with the utensils the doctor ordered.
"Okay everyone, here we go..." the doctor slid Vegeta's garment up to see his stomach.
Suddenly, the entire medical team gasped at what they saw.
"So why are you here at the hospital?" Tsumi asked as she munched on a pork bun.
"I'm not exactly sure, all I know is that I fainted and woke up with a wound on my left shoulder," Goku said with a mouth full of rice. "What about you?"
"I'm just here with a friend who's been injured..." Tsumi replied. She finished the last remains of her bun.
Goku paused from eating, "is it anything serious?"
"I hope not..." Tsumi made another depressed face. "He saved me from the same injuries, he's such a dear friend."
The young saiyan looked concerned. He didn't like it when Tsumi was sad.
"Miss Konoho! Come see this! You it's a miracle!" a nurse burst into the cafeteria calling Tsumi. She looked very excited and was practically gasping for air.
Tsumi looked at Goku and back. She stood up and ran with the nurse to Vegeta's room.
Goku finished his rice quickly and followed her.
"Vegeta!" Tsumi cried as she slammed the door open.
The nurse escorted her to the operation table where Vegeta lied. His garment was still lifted, his muscles and chest were completely exposed.
Tsumi gasped.
"That's right, it was impossible. His wounds that would've taken a year at the least to heal has healed in just a matter of minutes," the doctor exclaimed. "And I'll bet that the wounds were harsher than what we saw on the day of the incident."
Tsumi cried tears of joy as she heard this. "So he's going to be okay?"
"He's going to be even stronger than before! In fact..." the doctor walked to a contraption in a corner of the room. He flipped it on and it showed a scan of Vegeta's bones. "See here..." he pointed to Vegeta's shoulder, where a wound still remained. "Around this gash, you can see a few cracks, well that indicates that the wound had closed up. And when I scan the material of the bones, it shows that they are 100% stronger than they used to be. It's quite remarkable."
"Tsumi?" Goku suddenly appeared at the scene beside Tsumi.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on Goku.
"Goku, see that's my friend! Vegeta!" Tsumi pointed, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Vegeta?!" Goku spun around, his eyes widened. He dashed to the operation table and glared at Vegeta. He smiled. "You're alright. That saiyan blood wasn't useless after all." Goku chuckled.
"Goku, you know Vegeta?" Tsumi asked.
"Yes, he and I were childhood friends," Goku answered.
"That's funny... Vegeta never mention anybody from his childhood. In fact he never mentioned his childhood at all!" Tsumi said, putting a finger thoughtfully to her chin.
"Heh, go figure," Goku replied.
"Who is this boy?" the doctor questioned.
"Patient 164 doctor," a nurse answered him.
"Isn't he...?" the doctor began. The nurse nodded.
"You'll be alright Vegeta haha," Goku chuckled as he stared intently at Vegeta's calm face. Vegeta hadn't changed much from their childhood. While Goku has changed a lot.
Tsumi also stared with happiness filled in her tears. She thought Vegeta was a goner.
"Um, Mr..." the doctor peered at his clipboard. "Goku, I believe you had a similar encounter as Vegeta."
Goku thought a minute and then stared at his shoulder, "that's right!" he tore off his shirt where the shoulder was to find that his flesh wound had healed. "The scar's gone!"
"I believe that you two may have a rare type of blood that this monster was looking for," the doctor exclaimed. "And that this blood enables your wounds to heal quickly, and instead of being weaker youo become stronger than before."
Goku recalled his childhood, a time where his grandmother had told him only a ¼ of his blood was human. "Yes I remember... ¾ of my blood is different from normal humans, but I can't remember..."
"Saiyan blood."
Everyone spun around to see Vegeta Jr waking from his sleep.
"Vegeta!" Tsumi ran and hugged him so tight that he could hardly breathe.
"Easy Tsumi! Some wounds are still there!" Vegeta rubbed his neck and stared intently at Goku. "Who the hell are you?" Vegeta muttered.
Goku fell down anime style. He leapt up again with rage, "I'm Goku you baffoon!!!!" Goku hissed.
"What? Really? Goku what the hell did you do to your hair?!" Vegeta almost burst out laughing.
Tsumi giggled a little bit, "don't be silly, Vegeta, I think it's kind of cute."
Vegeta snarled.
Suddenly a rumble shook the building.
"Was that an earthquake?" a nurse questioned.
"It couldn't have been, it ended so quickly!" the doctor replied.
Suddenly Vegeta and Goku were both weighed down again by the same painful gravity.
"GAH!" the both hissed.
Vegeta sweat like crazy, while Goku was basically coughing up blood. They both endured some of the pain since they're saiyan blood made them stronger, but they're wounds were still in effect.
"Vegeta! Goku! Are you alright?!" Tsumi said in concern. She laid a hand on both their backs.
"You.... Ugh.... Can't feel it?" Goku questioned while clutching his stomach.
"Gah!" Vegeta spat out blood and screamed. Goku followed soon after.
Suddenly the floor and walls began shaking again, this time for a longer time.
A nurse ran out of the room for help.
"The aura... it's coming from that way!" Vegeta struggled to point.
Both saiyans stood up and began walking as fast as they could. Once they reached this room called the DNA lab, they were finally relieved of their pain.
"That monster!" Goku called.
It was the same monster that attacked both Vegeta and Goku. It was trying to steal some machine that was at the corner of the room. With no difficulty it pulled the machine from the corner right out.
Vegeta was first to react and charged up into SS. "RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He stared deadly knives at the monster.
Goku followed up after, "AHHHHHHHH!!!"
Suddenly the room of darkness was filled with lights of gold and white. Both saiyans unleashed a blast of ki. It hit exactly at the monster's face.
The creature roared so loud, sheer volume broke glass and triggered some machines to malfunction. But the smoke cleared and the creature wasn't there any longer. And neither was the machine. The creature escaped with such speed that the two saiyans didn't even notice the large hole in the ceiling.
A/N :: This chapter was a little lame I'll admit. Not enough action. The reason that Goku and Vegeta feel that gravity and pain when the monster is near will be revealed in next chappie. Thank you EvilAngel4 for being first reviewer, check for updates often so you won't miss anything!
