Disclaimer: I haven't owned Dragonball Z since it begun. I wish I could so
I can have my Goku... (starts imaging... ahem... things...) Sigh...
A/N: Chapter 5 is up! Wow... A chapter a day keeps the writer's block away! ... I've said something smart! Go me! I have fulfilled a dream in life... Okay, not really, but I usually say stupid things... That's how I am... Anyway, read the story for if you do not, I shall bore you even more...

"I've done it!" Bulma exclaimed in pure joy, holding the glass beaker full of liquid in her hand. "I've created the perfect antidote for Goku!" She took a plastic cup and poured the contents in the beaker into the cup, then put a lid on it to keep it from spilling. Very happy with her success, she took the cup full of the antidote and walked out of the lab, heading to the guest's room before she remembered he hadn't come back yet.
"Now what am I going to do? I'm not going to wait here forever for Gohan to come back. I guess Vegeta could give it to him." She took a deep breath and yelled as loud as she could, "Vegeta! Get your butt out here now!"
Vegeta walked out of his room holding his ears. "Damn woman! How loud can you scream?"
"I had to get your attention, Vegeta. Could you take this to Goku's house?" She held the cup in front of her, smiling. "It's the antidote."
"Why can't someone else do it?"
"You're the one who's going to do it, Vegeta, so stop arguing with me!"
"Fine, woman, fine! But I'm not doing anything else for you, got it?!" He snatched the cup from Bulma's hands and walked outside, flying off. "The things I do for that woman..."
-
Gohan landed outside of the Capsule Corps. Building not long after Vegeta flew off. Entering inside, he found Bulma walking back into the lab. "Oh hey, Bulma!" She stopped and turned to face him. "Did you finish the antidote yet?"
"Yeah, I did. I told Vegeta to go take it to him."
"You did? ... Well, okay... I'll see you later. I'm going back to my dad." And with that, he exited again and flew away.
-
A big ship landed in a grassy field as the door to it opened up to reveal two people standing in the doorway. "You ready, Taal?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Great. Now... Let's see..." Kayla scanned the area for Kakkarot's chi. "It's weak... I don't know why... But it's located about 2400 kilometers that way." She pointed slightly to the left.
"That far, eh? I thought we would've landed closer. Oh well... I'll catch you later, slug." Taal started zooming off toward the direction Kayla pointed to.
"Not for long, loser." Kayla put two fingers to her forehead and used Instant Transmission.
-
Goku screamed again in pure agony. The pain had tripled. He tossed and turned in the bed as the pain reached amazing heights. Chi-Chi, of course, was trying to calm him down.
"Goku, you have to relax, please..." But even Chi-Chi couldn't hear her own voice over Goku's horrendous screams. Suddenly, the door to their room swung wide open.
"Damn... Everyone has to yell when I'm around..." Vegeta walked over, handing the antidote to Chi-Chi. "Take this. It's for Goku's virus."
Chi-Chi's eyes shone in kindness. "Thank you, Vegeta." She turned towards Goku and propped his head up. "Goku, it's the antidote. Drink it." Goku opened his mouth slightly as Chi-Chi poured the contents of the cup into Goku's mouth and he swallowed it. She laid his head back down and smiled. "I hope it works..."
"Hmph. Knowing that damn woman, it will." He turned to the door. "I'm leaving. Kakkarot should be better now." He left.
"Oh Goku... Please wake up soon..."
-
Gohan saw Vegeta fly right by him before he reached his father's house. "Weird... Leaving so soon? Well... It does sorta sound like Vegeta." He touched down on the ground and ran inside, up the stairs, and into his parents' room. "How is he?"
"Doing fine, Gohan. I just gave him the antidote."
Gohan sighed. "That's good." He pulled up a chair and sat next to his mom. "How long do you think it'll take?"
"I don't know, Gohan. I wish I knew."
-
Kayla appeared right outside of the Sons' home as Taal landed next to her. "No fair! You cheated!"
"Hey. I have as much right to Instant Transmission as you do for zipping along at high speeds."
Taal crossed his arms. "Whatever."
Kayla rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I can sense our uncle's ki in there. It's still pretty weak, but I feel it getting stronger. Let's go in." The two opened the door quietly and slipped in.
-
Goten heard footsteps coming up the stairs as he got out of bed, fully dressed. "Who could they be...?" He crossed the distance of the room and opened his door to see two strange beings standing there. Goten jumped back a few feet and got in a defensive stance. "Who are you?"
The girl smiled. "I'm Kayla and this is my so obnoxious brother Taal. We're looking for our uncle, Kakkarot... Wait a minute... You look just like him..."
"Huh? You mean my dad? His name is Goku, though..."
"Goku? An Earth name? Very well. Where is he?"
"Uh..." He lowered his stance and pointed to his right. "In that room."
"Thanks." Kayla and Taal turned and walked a lit farther, and as they reached the door, they turned the knob.
-
Gohan sensed them before they entered the room. He stood up quickly, knocking his chair down.
"What is it, Gohan?"
"Someone's here... Not friends..."
The door swung open as Kayla and Taal stood there, smiling brightly. "Hello. We're looking for Goku. Is that him?" Kayla pointed at Goku's body on the bed.
Gohan narrowed his eyes. "Why do you want to know?"
"We want to know what happened to our father, Raditz. We know Goku, Kakkarot to us, is our uncle and we think he knows what happened to him. After all, that's why our father came here. To get our uncle."
Gohan's eyes went from being narrowed to being surprised. "What? Your father is Raditz?"
"Yes, of course he is. What happened to him?"
Gohan lowered his stance as he glanced down at the floor. "Well... A very long time ago, when I was little, Raditz came to Earth to get my dad to join him, but my dad declined and so Raditz took me as a hostage. He demanded that my father kill100 humans within a day or he would kill me. Raditz took me and threw me inside his space pod as my dad and Piccolo, a Namekian, came and tried to fight him. They were losing until my anger hit the boiling point and I erupted from the space pod, slamming my head into Raditz's chest. After that, I didn't know what happened until Piccolo told me."
"What... What did he say?" Kayla was becoming scared. Her father was still alive... wasn't he?
"He told me dad caught him from behind and held him there as he powered up his special attack, The Special Beam Cannon. He fired it as it hit Raditz then my father, killing them both. After a year we wished my father back to life." He looked back up as shock was apparent on the young ones' faces.
"He's... He's dead? Our dad?" Taal asked with fear.
"Yes... He was going to destroy the Earth. We had to kill him."
Kayla's fists tightened. "No... Our father... is dead..." Her eyes flashed teal as her hair stood up slightly and turned golden blonde. "I won't let you get away with the murder of my father! Prepare to die, son of Kakkarot!"

A/N: Bum bum bum... Trouble is brewing big time. What will happen next? I'd give you a preview of what's up next, but I haven't thought of it yet. Oo... I can tell you I just watched 3 episodes from the Cell Saga. The part where Goku gives up after fighting a big, macho battle with Cell. I LOVE my Goku... Well... He's not mine, but... Sigh...
