The house was an air of loneliness. It seemed like it would be that way for a while to come. A woman sat on a garden chair surveying the beautiful afternoon trying to draw some comfort from it. A strong woman on the outside but human withing. Pain and knowing laced her already moistened eyes. She knew he would leave soon and she knew he might not ever return. He might be gone from her life forever like her son. She stood up and slowly walked around the garden arms folder. Goku, Why must you be the hero? Things always happen to this family. Why? It's not right. A tear found its way out of her eye, sliding slowly, making it's way sorrowfully down her face. She left it, unseeing , consumed in thought and devouring her grief.
''Chi-Chi?'' She heard his voice. Stifling her tears she quickly wiped away the remainder of sadness on her face. ''I'm here Goku.'' His head peered around the door his smiling face halting as he sensed her mood. ''Are you ok?'' She looked at him deeply before looking away. She couldn't hide her emotion. Goku walked towards her uncertainly and sat down beside her. ''You're upset that i'm leaving soon I know. I'm not doing it to hurt you Chi-Chi...''
She looked at him sadly. '' I know Goku. I'm not angry at with you for leaving. You know I understand. It's just that I'll miss you.'' She looked down tears welling up again.
Goku put a finger under her chin and lifted her face towards his. '' Everything will be fine. It'll all be ok.'' She nodded
Goku leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead before standing up. ''I have to go.''
''Yes.'' She couldn't look him in the eyes. ''I'll see you soon...and so will our son.'' He lightly touched her cheek and turned around. Ho looked back over his shoulder one last time and smiled. If Goku never returned she would always remember that smile. It made her feel safe and secure. She smiled lightly as well. ''Go on , get going.'' Goku nodded before powering up and flying away towards Capsule Corp. He didn't look back. The time for sentiment was over, only focus was necissary. He surveyed the earth as he flew. This has to be one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. I wonder what the rest are like? I wonder what it's like where Gohan is? I wonder what he looks like now and if he'll remember me? He flew contemplating these things in worry until Capsule Corp was in sight.
He landed in front of Bulma's home and walked in. ''Bulma? Are you home? Hey Bulma?''
''Goku? Is that you?'' Her head appeared from around the corner of a door. Her face lit up in a delighted smile after seeing Goku. ''Hey you! How are you?'' Goku smiled '' I'm great. Are we ready?'' Bulma laughed lightly '' I guess we are. Everything is ready. All we have to do is leave.'' Goku nodded.
''Are you ready Goku?'' He looked at her seriously. '' I can't be more ready than this. It's definitly time.''
''Ok then, follow me.'' She led Goku outside and stopped in a large empty area. Goku watched her suspiciously. '' Now what? Where's the ship.''
Bulma smiled. '' Oh come on Goku, surely you know.'' She produced a single green capsule. Goku smiled in understanding. ''Oh! I see.''
She pressed the top end down and threw it as far as she could. ''Stand back a bit Goku.'' They both backed away slightly. The capsule bounced around on the floor convulsing violently. It eventually stopped for just a second before exploding and expanding, bigger and bigger until a house sized space ship sat gleaming on the once open ground.
''Wow! Look at that! It's amazing Bulma, you really are a genius.'' Bulma laughed '' I know i know.''
''And modest too?'' Bulma stuck her tongue out at him. They walked up the already descended ramp and into the ship. ''Very nice, this ship is great. Bulma smiled lightly. ''Yep, sure is. Fast, comfortable and luxurious, just the way I like it.'' They made their way to the ships cockpit. She sat down at the pilots seat. she pressed a series of buttons casuing the ship to activate. ''We have ignition.'' They looked at each other smiling like little children. ''This is going to be great huh Goku!'' The excitement was infectious. ''Yeah. I can't wait.'' She smiled again before pushing a lever upwards causing the ship to take of vertically. She increased the thrust kicking the ship into a higher takeoff speed. It rose upwards faster and faster until it broke the through the atmosphere. It slowly pulled away from the blue planet. Goku watched in wonder. Bulma noticed his fascination. ''Beautiful, isn't it?'' Goku nodded not taking his eyes off of the earth. '' It is.''
''Listen Goku, do you even have any idea where to go?'' Goku looked at her racking his brain. ''I'm not sure Bulma. All I know is that whoever we meet out there we should ask about the name Frieza.'' Bulma looked at him confused. ''Who's Frieza?''
''I don't know. I just remember Radditz mentioning his name while we were fighting. I think he's an important person and if he controls people like Radditz he must be powerful. That's all I have.'' Bulma looked worried. ''It's not much to go by Goku but we'll see what happens.''
Goku nodded. The ship drifted into the depths of space carrying the man who's destiny has begun to unfold.
Gohan And Vegeta
The room was quiet and peaceful. Vegeta the Saiyan Price lay on the bunk bed sleeping lightly. H awoke as soon as he heard the door open. Cassius peered in to find Vegeta watching him with a piercing stare. ''Don't you knock?'' Cassius was taken back. Sorry, we are approching our destination. We are directly in front of Dysiria. We should land soon. Vegeta nodded, ''Very well. You may go.'' Cassius left the room.
He stood up stretching slightly. Soon Frieza....soon. He left his room and made his way to the next room. Without knocking he walked in. Gohan was lying on his back with his hands behind his head looking at the ceiling. He looked troubled. He finally noticed Vegeta standing in his doorway and looked at him in a confused way.
''Are you feeling ok boy? You don't look so good.'' Gohan looked away again. ''I had that dream again. Just feeling a bit weird, that's all. Vegeta scowled thoughtfully before looking up. ''Try not to let it bother you too much Gohan. We're approaching the planet. Prepare yourself for Frieza's oblivion.'' Gohan nodded. ''Yes. You're right, i'm sorry.''
''Good, lets go to the control center and wait.'' Gohan nodded and stood up exiting the room behind Vegeta. They made their way down the winding passages, guards moving quickly out of their way as they walked. They arrived in the control room earning gazes of fear from everyone in the room. ''When are we landing!''
Cassius stepped forward. '' We'll be on the planet's surface in about ten minutes.'' Vegeta looked at him for a few seconds before turning around and walking off into a corner standing with his arms crossed and one foot over the other watching Cassius.
It made him uneasy . He turned to Gohan. ''What do you possibly think you will achieve by confronting Frieza?'' Gohan looked at him smirking. ''Satisfaction. Don't you worry about it. Frieza will ceise to exist soon and you can carry on with your life in freedom.'' Cassius looked at him for a second almost beleiving his words. He laughed then. ''You will never succeed. The power of Frieza is too great. You'll die today boy. That's guarenteed. Gohan looked at him with an ammused smile. '' The only thing guarenteed is Frieza's death and possibly yours aswell if you don't watch your mouth.'' The mettle in Gohans voice made him back off quickly. He turned around and went back to the controls. Vegeta who had watched the exchange with interest approached Gohan smiling. ''Would you really destroy someone defenseless boy?''
Gohan smiled, shaking his head. ''Ofcourse not. You know that. My only buisiness is Frieza.''
''And after Frieza is destroyed?'' Gohan looked at him in consideration. ''I don't know. I haven't thought about that before. What do you think?'' Vegeta looked blank aswell.
''I don't know either anymore. Let's not think about it until we finish the job at hand.'' Cassius interupted the conversation. ''We're about to land, I advise that you prepare yourselves.'' They both ignored him.He shrugged and walked away. The ship began to shake as it entered the planet's atmosphere. Fire erupting all around it. They could sense him. The power running through their bodies like blood. Vegeta frowned and released a growl. The ship crashed into the planets sky and began making it's way for land. It sped over the emerald green grass and rock formations below. The planet was quite beautiful. Vegeta turned to Cassius. ''What is Frieza doing here?'' He shrugged. ''I have no idea. What does it matter anyway?'' Vegeta went back to his policy of isolation ignoring Cassius.
The ship halted over a patch of long grass and landed slowly. Vegeta immedietly made his way to the door. '' Open it now!'' Cassius did what he was told. The door slowly opened. ''Come boy, lets go.'' Gohan nodded and followed.
''Wait, do you even know where you're going?'' Cassius started to follow them. Vegeta scoffed. '' Ofcourse! I can sense that disgusting little worm anywhere.''
Gohan turned to Cassius. '' Stay here, we'll take it from here.'' Cassius stopped looking mildly annoyed. He turned around and went back to the ship. He looked out of the window and watched them making their way through the long grass. '' Fools. They won't last long....''
Damn! This is getting much harder now. My chapters aren't flowing anymore. Hope it's still of interest tho! ##
