Chapter 9: An Unexpected Reunion
Italic - Flashbacks
Bold - Goku's Thoughts
Goku's eyes lazily opened to very unfamiliar surroundings. Well, no surroundings actually, a giant face blocking his view of everything.
"Goku! You've already got yourself killed again! You're impossible!" nagged King Yemma.
"But you're so young! You need to stop spending your time with all these dead people!" added Baba. King Yemma then yanked his overly large face away, as he began to scribble in his little notebook.
"Well! Move along! I've got people pouring in by the thousand!" barked Yemma.
"Come along, Goku, I've got something important to show you." Beckoned Baba. Goku stepped aside and let King Yemma proceed with his business.
How did I die? Seiku… Oh no! Seiku is still on Earth; she is killing everyone! I've got to get back!
Goku tailed behind Baba, who led him to the platinum jet that took souls to heaven. Baba then turned to face Goku after talking to one of Yemma's numerous assistants.
"Alright, I've earned you a ticket to heaven, Goku. From there, you can reach Kibito Kai's planet." Explained Baba.
"Baba?" asked Goku.
"Yes, Goku?" replied Baba.
"Can I also visit my family, just for a bit?" requested Goku.
"Your family!?" asked Baba, with an astounded look in her eye. "What ever do you mean? All of your family members are alive and well. The only person whom you might know isn't in heaven." Explained Baba.
WHAT!? That's good news but… it isn't true! I saw Goten, Trunks, Bra, and Chi-Chi, they all died right before my eyes!
"How, Baba? I saw them die before my very eyes!" inquired Goku.
"I don't know, Goku. But that is why Kibito Kai wishes to converse with you. Now hurry now, the plane isn't going to wait any longer." Said Baba. She coaxed him along, and bid adieu. Inside the plane, a blessed sight met Goku's eyes: Bra.
"Goku!" she joyfully said. She ran to him and gave him a hug. "I-I was so scared! But… I've got so much to tell you! I know all about Seiku! You must let me tell you!" Goku placed his hands on her shoulders, and looked her in the face.
"You'll have to tell me later Bra, I want you to come with me to Kibito Kai's planet. I'm sure he'll be interested in this information you have for me." Explained Goku. Bra nodded, and ran back to her seat. Goku sat next to her, and their journey had begun. After what seemed like hours, the plane came to a halt, and the door opened. Goku and Bra bid farewell to the pilot, and the plane left the world of the Kai's. The duo walked along the winding paths of the Kai planet, looking at the purple sky, and the crystalline streams, and the easily flowing grass. For a moment, they both felt at peace with the world.
"Salutations, Goku and Bra." Greeted Kibito Kai ever so suddenly. Goku and Bra leapt at the sight of the Kai.
"Ack! You gotta stop doing that, Supreme Kai!" yelped Goku.
"Hahahaha! You've not changed a bit." Replied Kibito Kai. His face then grew stern with concern. "But I am afraid now isn't a time for jokes, Goku. Follow me." Kibito Kai whisked them away to the all-knowing crystal ball.
"Daddy is fighting Super 22!" shrieked Bra.
"That he is, Bra. Deep down in HFIL." Replied Kibito Kai.
"What!" added Goku as he joined in the circle. He too saw SSJ2 Vegeta locked in fierce combat with Seiku's creation.
"I have to help him!" said Goku.
"True, Goku. Which is why I called you, but before you go, I've two more things to show you. I know the pulsing question that is on your mind, your family, Goku. Look into the globe, it will tell you." Goku obeyed Kibito Kai and peered into the globe, and saw Kami's Lookout. Gohan and the rest of the family were circled around an incomplete set of Dragon Balls.
"But how…?"
"I can't tell you Goku, but I can… show you." Announced Kibito Kai. He drew closer to Goku, and placed his hands on either side of his head. "Relax…"
EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!
"Trunks! NO!!" shrieked Chi-Chi. With all her might, she flung herself before Trunks.
"Mom! I'm here! INSTANT TRANSMISSION!" shouted Gohan as he took his mother in his arms. The tremendous Ki Blast struck an energy field and exploded in a brilliant beryl light.
"Goku! My Goku!" sobbed Chi-Chi. Gohan stroked his mother as he tried to comfort her.
"It's okay, mom. Dad is just fine. I'll go back and get Goten, Trunks, and Bra." Chi-Chi opened her eyes and found herself on Kami's Lookout. She went inside the tower for food as Gohan had instructed her too. Gohan took the long way back to Amenbo Island, thinking maybe the trouble would've swelled down. When he arrived, Super 22 had left, and he searched around the rubble to find Trunks, and later went up the cliff to find Goten. With no Bra to be found, Gohan just decided to stick with the bad news, and he took the Mirais to the Lookout. He then traveled to his house to get his daughter and his wife. And then… dasjdks… dsjad…
ERAAAH!!
"KAKAROT! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" shouted a familiar voice. Goku's eyes widened when a large beryl ki blast came hurtling at him.
"YIPES!" he shrieked as he leapt upwards. Goku circled around to see nothing but a barren wasteland and bubbling lava pits around him. Goku knew where he was; he was in the Home For Infinite Losers, H.F.I.L.
"Hahahaha! It's Goku! Another toy to play with, Vegeta was starting to get weak." Spat Super 22. The Saiyan Prince growled with anger at this remark.
"I'm a Super Saiyan 2! You imbecile! Feel my wrath!" Vegeta then assumed the stance for his grand attack. He stood straight, and his arms clasped together and began glowing golden.
"Vegeta! Don't use energy attacks! He'll just throw them right back at us with two times the force!" warned Goku.
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT KAKAROT!! I'LL KILL HIM MY OWN WAY!" barked SSJ2 Vegeta as his power finally reached its apex.
"FINAL FLASH!!" shrieked Vegeta as all the golden energy was forced out of his body through a prominent beam out of his palms. To Goku's grand surprise, Super 22 took the blow head on, and was sent hurtling into a nearby rock pile.
"Woah… I didn't see that one coming." Announced Goku.
"Shut up! Kakarot! He is still alive and well, that was like a feather to him! Your blasts would do no better!" he yelled. When Vegeta looked over, Goku was at his ultimate state, the Super Saiyan 3. His hair was down to his ankles, and his aura blazing with Saiyan power.
"Ya wanna bet?" coaxed Goku.
"Ungh!! I'm just warming up! That hurt you idiot!" griped Super 22 as he brushed himself off. "Wh…what's happening to me! EYYAGH!!" Each of the warriors were suddenly struck with a powerful mental pain, when each of their worlds faded white. When Goku arose, they were each above the lookout, all in the same arrangement.
"Dad! You're alive!" said Gohan as he flew up to greet his father.
"Excuse me! I'm right here!" announced 22, as if he was forgotten. "But now… you all are in a neat little cluster… I will play one final requiem for my former master, and the rest of man kind! HAHAH!! FEEL THE FURY OF TECHNIQUE B.9.1 (Buu: Human Genocide Attack)" And thus, Super 22 raised his hand in the air, and a two streams green ki ensued forth, striking Vegeta and Goku in the heart.
"VEGETA! DAD!" shouted Gohan.
"We're fine, Gohan! The Ki just went through us!" answered Goku
"But Super 22 isn't fine! Look at him!" beckoned Vegeta. He pointed at Super 22, who was slowly shrinking back into his first form, and the two ki bolts he set free changing into the two Androids he once absorbed.
"What happened to me!" yelped Android 22.
"Ack! Android 21 are you okay?" Requested Android 23 who was feeling herself for injuries.
"I'm just fine, Android 23. But I am a little pissed at our buddy, Android 22. I think he deserves a little payback, don't you think?" answered the bulky 21.
"So do I…" she evilly answered with a smirk.
"Goku! V-Vegeta! He-help me! I'm no match for both of them! Please I… I beg you!" he pleaded.
"You deserve this fate… You must reap what you sow… Android 22!" said Goku.
Well, what did you think of Chapter 9!
