The Brother War
Chapter Seven
Not much time later he started dreaming and he starts shouting in his sleep. He disturbed his other brothers... Kakuei was dreaming of killing people. They ran into his room. " Are you ok?" Goku said, running in, he then tripped over his bunny pajamas. Kakuei started breathing hard. He opened his eyes... they were starting to turn cold... Goku quickly got up and looked at him. " Oh no... Kakuei!" Goku shook him. " Don't leave!"
He looked over at his brother. " What on earth are you talking about?" His voice was colder
Goku sighed sadly. " You turned back..."
" Turning back you say..."
" To evil." Goku seemed to pout.
Kakuei starting laughing. " What's wrong... you don't like your big brother?"
" Not as much when you have those cold eyes..."
" I have always had them... what are you babbling about."
" You turned good... To the scientist..."
" Bah... that good side is long gone. I made sure of that."
" Damn. Your so mean."
" You couldn't have possibly seen that good side... But yet i think you did."
" He made this really cool food machine too! He was so nice..."
" And weak."
" You are him so... I guess you're weak too?"
" No... he's nothing compare to me... How do you think i was able to take control so easily."
" How about... you let him take control for a few years?"
" I did not such thing! And I won't ever do it!" He leaned back. Kakuei noticed Goku's purple bunny print pajamas with a matching hat. " I can't believe you were that!"
" What? Its cute!" Goku smiled.
" Its for babies... like yourself." Kakuei shuts his eyes again. And then he starts tossing and turning. he was having another bad dream. " No... stop it... i don't... i never..." He mumbled. Goku leaned over his brother again " Please... no... this is..."
Goku tilted his head.
" Hey Kakarot... what's wrong?" Raditz said form the doorway.
" Its Kakuei... he turned back for one..."
" What's two?"
" Ah... no... stop..." Kakuei continued mumbling
" He appears to be having nightmares..."
" That's odd... Wake him up..."
Goku shook Kakuei. He woke with a start. He looks at his brother. " Kakarot?" He said in a friendlier tone
" Your back!" Goku hugged him tightly.
" What's going on?"
" You were evil for a sec there..."
" I was? Please tell me I didn't do anything..."
" No no... it was just like 5 minutes ago..."
" Thank goodness. Man... i can't sleep... Kakarot."
" Why not?"
" I keep having these dreams... i keep seeing myself killing people."
" It might be memories." Raditz said.
" I think they are... I can't stand them... They are terrifying.." He stares at his hand. He was horrified. " Its terrible..." Then he seemed to snap into another memory. " Why... why must things be this way... Why must i be the one... the one who suffers in this family... Why me... why... its just not fair!" He remembers beating up Raditz at this point. " You brat! you take me for granted don't you... You think your better then me do you!" Goku could see this memory as clear as day. He brutally beat his little brother. " You disgust me... you... think your superior to me brat! Well your mistaken... you don't know what it is like to suffer... well i will make you suffer. I'll make you suffer like i do..." Goku was speechless. " You'll beg me to kill you... that's how bad your suffering will be... And i will relish ever minute of it... i will make you understand the hard why... what it means to suffer brat!" He continued to beat the young Raditz
The Kakuei snapped out of it. Goku couldn't believe what he saw. ' I can't believe he would do this...' Goku thought to himself
Kakuei looked at his brother. " You see... you see what i've done.. And i would have done it to you too baby brother... if Raditz hadn't thought ahead."
" Thought ahead?"
" Yeah... he was smart for a young boy... he knew i would do the same to you the minute you walked around... so he sent you away without my knowledge. I would have put you through that torment as well..."
Goku looked down. " But why... how..."
" I hated everyone... everyone who had a normal life... For some reason it angered me... and i exploded and did what you saw. I turned cold on my own.. also with some beatings from father... I really was a beast... a monster." Goku's expression sadened. " And what you saw.. that was a light beating... That was nothing compared to what an extreme beating was..." Goku lightly gasped. " But i don't think you want to know what i did then...do you...?"
Goku sighed. " Not really..."
" Now you see me for my true colors..."
" But its in the past..."
" But it still haunts my mind."
A headache came on him. " Oh no... Go away... let me be..." He mumbled.
" Huh?"
" Not you..." He told Goku, " The evil monster..." His headache got worse
Goku gasped. Goku put his hands together like he was praying and chanted, " Good side win,"
" He's showing me everything I've done..."
A extreme torment scene came up. Kakuei saw Raditz sitting alone. He was as cold as snow then. He walked up to the boy.. He picked him up and threw him to a wall. As he was on the ground he slowly broke Raditz's ribs. He screamed out in agony. Then Kakuei kicked him... " How does it fell brat! How does it feel..."
" Please... stop..."
" Oh I'll stop alright... when i feel like it!" Then he started breaking the other sides ribs. " Come on... beg... beg brat!" He smiled evilly as he made the boy suffer. He just kept attacking him breaking every bone he could get too. He would leave his brother lifeless. he didn't care what happened to him
" Fight it, Kakuei!" Goku mostly yelled.
Raditz looked away. He couldn't stand to watch it again... he had been through it enough. Kakuei's nails went into Raditz's skin... causing it to bleed. He did so much... not giving up on the pleasure of hurting him. Most times Raditz would be lifeless on the ground laying in a puddle of his own blood. " It serves you right you know..." Kakuei would always say
Goku couldn't believe how far he took it. Goku felt so sorry for Raditz. He never thought is was this bad. Kakuei shook it off. " You see Baby brother? You see how badly i treated him."
" I see it all to well." Goku said sadly.
" I regret doing that now. I hurt him so badly."
" I see that."
" I don't want to return to that life! I'm afraid i might."
" Fight him!"
" I'm holding him off for now. But i don't know how long i can."
" How bout forever?"
" I wish...But i know it isn't possible."
Raditz was having his own problems. Goku just realized he had a dagger in his hand. " Raditz!" He smiled evilly. Kakuei looked at the dagger nervously he knew it was for him "What are you doing?" Raditz drew closer
" I'm going to put an end to this war now.."
Goku jumped in front of Kakuei. " No!"
" Get out of my way!" He said coldly, " This has nothing to do with you!"
" I don't care! He's my brother and I won't let you hurt him!"
" He's a monster and he deserves to be punished."
" No!"
" Yes!"
" You stab him, you stab me."
" I have no quarrel with you! Get out of my way..."
" Never."
" Why are you protecting him! you saw what he did!"
" It was in the past.."
" He made... he turned me into this!"
" And now your not even fighting it! Your accepting it!"
" It should have never had come to this!" Goku didn't budge. " I'm returning the deed!" He got closer
Goku turned ssj10. " I will protect him under any circumstance!"
" Fine bet that way!" He puts the dagger away. Raditz snaps out of it. Raditz looks at his brother. " You are planning something aren't you!" Kakuei looked away from his brother. " I knew it!"
" I developed a posion that can turn a person completely evil with an injection. i gave it too my son, Toga... and i made him the same way as me... i told him if i did not return within a month that he should continue to turn everyone evil." Goku had a sad expression on his face. " The poison is incurable... i made sure of that.."
" How could you..." Goku said.
" Kakarot.. that was a while ago... Its not like i did it now.."
" I don't care! Its still very wrong!" Goku ran out of the room.
Kakuei got up from bed and followed him. " Kakarot wait... here me out."
" No! You... you were gonna use that on me!" Goku said as he ran.
" Kakarot! I didn't know you as i do now! I wasn't the person you know me know..."
" You say that, but now I can't be so sure!"
" You know who i am... you know i would never..."
"I don't know anything about you anymore except that you have a cold heart that only knows how to hurt."
Kakuei looked down depressed. " I'm not like that!"
" You just proved to me you were..."
" how can i possibly..."
" Just... leave me alone right now... I have to think."
Kakuei started walking away. " Why do i even bother! Do what you will... i'm tired of babysitting!"
" You bother because you want to be accepted by everyone. No one has EVER accepted me... no one ever will."
" You just have to try and gain their trust... be nice to them... help them..."
" No one trusts me either.. Maybe i should just give up... i am the failure of this family.. i messed up everyone's lives... my little brothers and my sons... Maybe i should just put an end to it now! I'll wipe my self from existence..."
" No... Kakuei... for once can you please not go to that option? I'm tired of dealing with that... first Raditz then you... I won't tolerate it anymore."
" What do you want me around for... you said you couldn't stand me... so i'll just put us both out of our misery... besides you saw what i did to Raditz...I take my own suffering out on everyone else... no one in this family is safe from me. I have done so much to hurt others... and my work still continues without me. You don't want me around."
" But I do...Kakuei... please...Don't do this."
" What can i do?"
" You can help me protect..."
" Protect who... Kakarot... you would have to protect everyone from me.."
" You might need some sort of training, but, you can protect others."
" Its the curse i was born with... i can't prevent it's rage from surfacing. The only one who needs your protection now is Raditz. He's the one who is in danger now."
Goku sighed. " What?"
" Toga will be after him. We all have to protect him. You will trust me on this... it will be up to you."
" Kakuei! You listen to me!"
" Don't order me around!"
" I am, so too bad! You are my brother, I care for you no matter what. And right now, you need to prove to me you can be a good person."
" How do you want me to do that... you know i'm not evil..."
" I want you to proclaim your love for someone and mean it... but we can do that later."
He steped back. " I haven't loved anyone..."
" We'll find you a nice girl."
" Not even my mate... who spun me my child."
" Oh c'mon. There has to be SOMEONE."
" I am a loner Kakarot... i need nothing but my lab."
" You can love me..."
Kakuei cringes. He slaps his brother. " Don't be a perve! It doesn't suit you."
" N- not like that!"
" Oh... then what did you mean?"
" Like... a brotherly love."
" Listen baby brother... i can't..."
" Yes you can!"
" Look... everyone i could care about would only get hurt by me. I am not a nice person really... when i get in fits of rages like the ones you saw... i'm dangerous."
" Then we won't let that happen." Goku wraps his arms around Kakuei tightly in a hug.
Kakuei pulled away.
" Aw, c'mon!"
" No..."
" You can hug your own brother..."
" I can't..." Goku gave a peck to his brother on the cheek. Kakuei got tense. " Stop..." Goku was acting like a sweet little kid. " I'm not interested..."
" C'mon big brother! You know you love me!" He said in his kid voice.
" I'm not in the mood."
" Too bad."
Kakuei takes his right hand and swats his baby brother away
" Your mean."
" I told you i wasn't in the mood."
" I don't care!" Goku runs over and hops on his back.
Kakuei's eyes turn cold as did his voice. " Knock it off... i only let a very few number of people touch me, and your not one of them." Goku wrapped his arms around his neck and gave him a noogie. Kakuei once again hits his brother, He looked at him with his cold looks. " Just leave me the hell alone." Kakuei starts walking away
" No. I won't leave you alone." Goku's voice sounds serious.
" Why not!"
" Because, your my brother."
" If you touch me again without your permission you won't be my brother anymore." Goku pokes him. He's cold eyes pear at him. Goku doesn't flinch. He starts walking away. Goku comes around and punches him in the face.
" What did you do that for!"
" Wake up!"
" I am awake you idiot!"
" Open your eyes you moron!"
Kakuei growled. " My eyes are open you ding bat. Are yours baby brother?"
" Mine are fine. You don't get it. You don't get anything!"
" I get more then you know! Now drop it... we got work to do."
" Like what?"
" First we gotta get Raditz to summon the dragon... and then we gotta find a way to stop my son."
" No... you have to find a way to stop your son."
" Kakarot... I'll get dragged into it. My son thinks i'm on his side. So you can see why i said we."
" I meant its not my problem. its yours."
" I know its my problem... i made all of this MY problem! I caused this all. Toga wants Raditz... He wants his power. I should say... we wanted his power."
