The Brother War
Chapter Ten
Just then they felt a strong energy far off in the galaxy. " What's that?" Goku said.
Kakuei looked up. " Toga."
" His power is that great?"
" Yes it is... Equal to my own."
" I see..."
"He must be having a fit. Shall we have a look?"
" Um... if you want."
" Alright boys lets go." Kakuei grabbed on to his brother. the instant transmission to the planet.
Toga was blowing his steam at a warrior. " You fool! Where is my father?"
" So this is my nephew..." Goku muttered.
" He should have been back a while ago!" Toga shouted in outrage... sending his energy outward
" Think I should announce us?" Goku asked his brothers.
" No... Toga doesn't take fondly to unannounced guests... just stay here." Kakuei said
" Alright..."
Toga was outraged. " My father... he's the strongest person i know! No one could have defeated him! NO ONE! Fool... did you get any reports from him?" Goku absently floated backwards on his back. " Did you hear me old man! Did you get any reports from my father!"
" I- I..." The man said.
" Spit it out!"
" I didn't..." The man said.
Toga growled. " Damn it... i knew i should have gone with my father! This must have been the work of my uncle! Raditz is going to pay for this!" He shouted... his power was once again spreading outward
" Kakuei... aren't you going to stop him?" Goku said, standing up straight.
" There's no point... as I am now... he'd shot me down..."
Goku sighed.
The floor cracked under Toga's feet.
" Young master..." Toga glared at the man.
" I hate it when people speak without permission!" Toga's eyes glowed and with his energy alone sent the man flying
" So we're just gonna sit here and do nothing?"
" He is the master here... while I am away. He's not doing any harm."
Toga looks out the window. " Father... why haven't you returned to me?"
Goku elbows Kakuei. " I think he misses you..."
" He does... but not the me you know now."
" Oh..."
Toga's energy increases. " Uh! Raditz is going to pay dearly for this!" He shouted, " Hey old man! Get me my medicine!"
" R- right away sir!" the man ran to the other room to grab it. He returned shortly with it. He handed it to Toga.
" That was quick... fastest time yet..." Toga takes it from him and injects it into his arm. " Ah, much better."
Goku looks at Kakuei. " What was that?"
" Its that poison I told you about.."
" Oh... well if he needs it... can't we just cut the supply?"
" No... we cant. It would kill Toga. Once you start taking it as long as the two of us have you become dependent on it."
" Young master... you've been taking it much more lately..."
" Its my health... i will do with it as i please...Once I accomplish what my father wanted I'm no longer needed." Toga's vision soon began to blur. He passed out on the floor. All of his servants ran to his aid. Kakuei showed no interest. One of his servants placed him on his lap. " Young master... wake up..."
Kakuei showed no concern on his face
" I see you don't like yer son?" Goku said.
" I never said that. I care about him... very much so..."
" You don't look it..."
" He's doing this to himself.. He's pushing it too far."
Toga slowly opened his eyes. He saw the old man. " Get off me!" He got to his feet.
" Young master..."
" You know you have no right to touch me you low class baka!" He hit the old man
" I- I'm sorry, master." The old man said.
" The only one who is allowed is my father. Now then..." Toga paused for a moment. " Hey I didn't pick up on that before... the scent of blood." Toga looked in Goku's direction. Goku froze. He had some cuts on him that had bled. Toga's energy increased. " Who ever you are... come out!"
Goku turned to Kakuei. " Kakuei... what should I do?" Goku said.
" Stay here... I'll handle it." Kakuei took off his glasses and his eyes turned dark as before... when Goku first meet him. His voice was just as cold as it was then too
" You do that at will?"
" I can... Yes... I can become evil when I choose."
" I said come out!"Toga shouted.
" Stay here..." Kakuei said
" Right..." Goku said.
Kakuei stood up. " Greetings my son."
Toga's eyes brightened. " Father!" He embraced him. " I'm glad you have returned to me."
" Master... welcome home." The men said
" So how did it go?"
" It was harder then i thought it would be... I had to take them both down... Kakarot and Raditz. What fools they are..." Kakuei said coldly. Goku notice he was laying it on thick
" What a shame father..." For some reason Goku was excited to meet Toga, evil or not. He had a smile on his face. " So father... what did you bring me?" He was an exited child. He was much older then both Regeta and Gohan
Kakuei called his guard over and whispered ' over from where I came from... Raditz and Kakarot.. are there... get them.'
The guards nodded
" You'll see soon enough."
The guards came around and spotted Goku and Raditz. Goku saw them. " Raditz! Guards!" For some reason... neither brother could react to them. "Kakuei! What's going on?" The guards brought them to Kakuei. He smiled evilly.
" What's going on? You ask... I'll tell you what's going on... You fell right into my trap.."
" WHAT!"
" You heard me... i trapped you."
" YOU LITTLE DOUBLE-CROSSING-I TRUSTED YOU! YOU WERE GOOD!"
One of the guards hit Goku. " Be respectful to master Kakuei."
Goku powered up to pure Saiyan again and sent the guards flying but that was all he could do... His body was a bit numb. " What did you do to my body? I'm losing my power..."
" I paralyzed you."
" So all this time... even when you were good... you were tricking me?" Kakuei smiled. " I... I trusted you... I even refused to hate you..."
" So this is uncle Kakarot..." Toga said
" How dare you!" Goku's eyes filled with rage.
Toga smiled. " What ever you did... it worked."
" You put on this whole scientist act just to trick me!"
" Scientist act?" Toga asked.
" No... I'm a real scientist... that wasn't a trick."
" Father liked you like that... and so did I... because you were such a good person and you felt regret for turning your son evil and wrecking havoc on the universe..."
" I never would have thought i would have heard those words." Toga said
" Even though my wife didn't believe it...Maybe I shouldn't have either! It was all a lie...Wasn't it! And I suppose when you cried because you hurt Raditz was a lie too!" Kakuei's outward appearance sure made it look that way. But Kakuei's heart was another story. " You really are an evil mon-" Goku started.
" NO!" Raditz shouted, " Remember last time your wife said that?"
Goku sighed. " I just..." Kakuei's body seem to be flinching. " I just can't believe Kakuei would do this to me..." Goku started crying.
Toga looked at his father. " Father! What's wrong.. You haven't had your meds for a while have you?" He turns to his servants. " Gets my fathers injection! Quickly."
" He doesn't need that! NO!" Goku yelled, " Don't do it Kakuei... you said it yourself... you never wanted to be evil..." Goku pleaded
" Do as I say!" Toga shouted.
Kakuei grabbed his stomach..Toga turned to the old man. He had his fathers meds in his hand. Toga took it from him
" Kakuei... please... I still trust you..."
Toga looked at his uncle. " Father was right... you are a fool."
" Toga... do you actually believe your father is like this? I still believe he is good..."
" My father has never been good..I prefer to keep it that way."
" Never? Kakuei... please prove him wrong... I know you don't want to do this..."
Kakuei laughed evilly weakly.
" Hang in there dad... I got it right here..."
" Kakuei... even if you do take this... I will always consider you my brother... I will always be your friend..." Goku said sadly, almost in a whisper.
Toga injected the poison into his father. Goku bit his lip. " Thank you Toga. As for you two... It's time... Guards... take them to the rooms... make sure they are secure..."
" Yes master..." The guards picked up Goku and Raditz. They take them to the dungeons...there are two chairs... with holding straps. They put them in these chairs..
" You may leave." Toga said
" Yes young master."
Toga looks at his uncles. Goku just gives him a glare. Toga smiled at him. " Well now we have this quality time... lets enjoy it."
" What are you gonna do?" Goku said.
" Father and I are going to make you like us."
" You won't make me evil..."
" Oh is that a fact!"
" In fact it is. There isn't anything you can do about it. your powerless to stop me.." Pain shot through Toga's body worse then last time. Toga tried not to show his pain. Goku could see it.
" Hey Toga... what's wrong? In pain?" Goku said.
" Why would you care?"
" Because I'm your uncle. I'm family."
He fell to his knees. " No... don't give out on me..." Toga continued to fight his pain but it only got worse
" Toga?"
" What?" He said. He took heavy breaths
"Are you alright?" There was concern in Goku's voice.
" No I'm not alright..."
" What's wrong?"
" By body is quitting on me." Toga goes into his pocket and pulls out another meds thing
" That won't keep you alive forever..."
" I don't need it too.."
" Yes you do... your body depends on it... Kakuei said it himself when I suggested we could just cut off your supply to make you better."
" Are you trying to kill me! I only need it long enough... to see you change...After that I'm not needed."
Toga lifts his arm and he injects it. Goku sighed. " I only need it till then."
" Listen... everyone is needed..."
" Not me..."
" That's what Kakuei thought too I'm sure... but... everyone has a purpose... and mine happens to be protecting..."
" You won't protecting anything."
" I have been for years and I will continue."
" Not when we are finished with you."
Just then the door opens and Kakuei comes forth. " I'll take it from here Toga."
" Let me, father..." Toga said, taking out a needle.
" Not let."
" I have some issues to resolve first... I will call you back when you're needed."
" Oh, alright." Toga said. He walked out.
Kakuei turns to his brothers. " About earlier... Its not what it seems..."
" What do you mean?"
" I'm playing...I'm not trying to hurt you..."
" How can I be sure?"
" The only reason why I'm going it is because they trust me... I am there master. Toga seemed hurt... right?"
" Yes."
" My doing... I did that to him."
" Why?"
" I'm helping him."
" Helping him?"
" Yes... I'm getting him of that med.."
Just then his hand started twitching. " Kakuei? What's up with yer hand?"
" It's the poison... it's taking affect..."
Toga came in. "Are you done yet, father? I wanna make him like us..."
Kakuei's body was shaking
" Father, are you alright?"
" Something's wrong..."
" Like what?"
" I think someone tried to assassinate me..."
Hey everyone. How's that? I hoped you enjoyed it. Please review. Till next time.
