Chapter 12: Pushing The Fear Away
The atmosphere of the outside world was clouded with tension. The air and surroundings was hot and humid, causing sweat droplets to fall down Goku's worrisome face. Though deciding to fight outside would be easier, the fact that Raditz could beat him to the ground still hit him hard. There were no more warnings, no more threats. This was it. This is what Goku had to deal with for committing the Saiyan crime.
Chichi stood hopeless and defenceless. She stood helplessly, knowing all she could do was watch. She knew how much Goku feared Raditz. She knew how much he wouldn't dare try and battle or challenge him. He was asking for a death wish. But deep inside through all his young doubts and fears, Goku knew that he was doing the right thing. He knew that what he was doing was justice. And if this was the only way to save her…this was what he was going to do…
"I never thought this day would come little brother" he deeply said. Goku didn't flinch or respond in any way, "But now, it has all come too soon" "I hope you are prepared Kakarot" Goku tried to smile.
"I'll always be ready to defend her" Raditz laughed loudly.
"You are a Saiyan…you are a cold-blooded killer!"
"I am not!"
"You're a murderer" Goku stood silent. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists. Everything that Raditz said was true…was…true. No more though. No more…Goku snapped his head up to look at his rival.
"Yes Raditz…I am a Saiyan…I did kill a lot of innocent people a long ago. I was a murderer. But I am no longer!" Raditz and his henchmen couldn't believe their ears.
"I have chosen my path! I have chosen what I want to do in my life! I will defend this planet and its people! Even till death if I must!"
"You are a fool Kakarot! A FOOL!"
"But an honest fool. A righteous fool!" Goku defended.
"You are so clogged up from her human poisonous ways that you have lost your mind!"
"Zoheh n' weo eonto hcoo ronth inu chihicochi eh niio, cohe ieo!" you are the one who is going to die, not me!
Silence hung in the air. Small gasps shot around the group of Saiyans at such a threat towards their leader. No one had said such things to him before. Raditz grit his teeth and hissed in anger.
"N' tonweichionte Kakarot, ro riton n' wechieho coh iehweo!" Alright Kakarot, we will argue no more!
"Chihni" Good Goku snarled, lunging forward towards his brother. At that moment all Goku could think about was Chichi. She was all he would think about and all he should think about. She was the reason for him to take the right path and defend her people. She was who he was fighting for...her and her people...her love...But those thoughts soon vanished when he remembered the task at hand. No more fear, no more worry and no more doubt. He had pushed that aside. As the approaching thunder could be heard from the north and the sound of rain hitting the space ship's roof echoed around the environment, Goku knew…it had begun.
