Striking The Heart
Reasons
The body of Earth's hero was tightly strapped down and trembling with anticipation and fear. He hadn't ever experienced much fear, but he was now. It wasn't so much the fact he was afraid of loosing his powers, it was the fact that he would be weak…
He wouldn't be able to protect her if he was weak…what if Dr. Wilhem changes his mind and does kill Chichi after this? What if…
He shook his head from such thoughts. Why would he do that? He's going to have want he wanted so he wouldn't…would he?
"Now Goku" the doctor said, making Goku lose his thoughts, "Just lie back, and relax…if you can" he sniggered. Goku silently cursed him and frowned at the betraying doctor. Chichi stood helpless as she watched the large table Goku was attached to, electronically fall back to a normal position where Goku lay like a frightened yet angry child. She watched as the doctor pressed a few buttons and she knew…this was it…
Goku tensed up immediately and yelped when the cables attached to his body dug into his flesh. Two were on both of his arms, two on his legs, one on both sides of his chest, two on his stomach and two on his shoulders. You could just imagine the pain as the one on his forehead dug in. He began to breathe at a fast pace, more nervous than anything.
Why did he suddenly feel this way? He had never felt so scared and so nervous in all of his life! He was son Goku, a man with no fear, a man who stood up to everyone and everything…except for Chichi maybe.
Chichi…he remembered that's why he was here. He turned to look at her, her eyes begging him to stop. She shook her head in disagreement, sadness washing over her face. He could only smile warmly at her. But she could see the man behind it; she could see the frightened eyes of the Saiyan. Dr. Wilhem attached the last cable to him and pressed the final button. This is where the pain began…
Almost immediately the cables began to suck Goku's skin, and drag his blood away. He couldn't believe what was happening…he couldn't believe this was real. He couldn't comprehend how this could be possible, but it was happening…it had to be real.
The machine rumbled and the screen beeped, Chichi could just about hear Goku's painful yelps and small cries as he wriggled about upon the table in agony.
The doctor stood still, slowly going through the same process as Goku. But his blood wasn't being taken away; his blood was becoming stronger, filled with everything that made Goku a Saiyan. Goku moaned and groaned, letting out the occasional scream and cry as his warm blood left his cold body. His form began to transform into a super saiyan, then suddenly it disappeared like air. His teeth changed into sharp piercing canines and his eyes turned a deep red. He growled, shaking the walls of the building.
The doctor was laughing away evilly as his muscles bulged and his voice deepened. The colour of black disappeared from his body and began to turn into a golden yellow. He screeched, still sniggering as he felt his energy grow tremendously. His eyes turned from their darkness to a deep green, his nails lengthening becoming black.
Goku cried some more as his second form of a Super Saiyan flew from his body, soon followed by the third. He transformed once more, red fur smothering his sweating body, soon disappearing and blowing away like dust. The doctor was in hysterics at Goku. He was loosing everything and the pain for the man was unbelievable. Wilhem loved it.
Goku wriggled and withered some more as he roared aloud, his Saiyan instincts being stolen away. He struggled to breathe as the pain was destroying him. He suddenly felt warm as blood was being put into his veins through the tubes that were connected to him…but the pain still came…
Wilhem was getting stronger and stronger.
Goku knew he shouldn't be doing this. He knew what he was doing was wrong. He had put his feelings first for a start…now Wilhem had the power to overcome the strongest fighters on Earth…even Vegeta. Goku grit his teeth, his eyes half open from exhaustion. The pain still came as new unfamiliar blood injected into his veins. He panted…his body tired and weak. He hoped it was all over…he hoped…
Chichi shook her head again. She couldn't believe this was happening. She couldn't believe Goku agreed to this. Giving his powers up…giving up what took him his life time to achieve…and for what...her?
She became angry. How could he do this? Why? Why is he being so damn soft and putting her first? She would rather die than see him go through this. She would rather die than see the world and her family destroyed by this…this monster. But it was too late…
The machine stopped and so had Goku's cries. The room was silent, until Wilhem's laughter sprung up from the darkness.
"This is it. This is…what I've always dreamed of! The power of a Saiyan…the power of a God. And it's all mine…all mine!" he shouted and laughed evilly.
"Why? Why are you doing this? Whop are you really?" Chichi called out in anger. Wilhem smiled and closed his eyes.
"Let's just say I have a score to settled with the Saiyans" he replied, "They took everything from me, now it's my turn"
"Goku didn't do anything to you! He's never met you before!" Chichi explained.
"He is the strongest and one of the last of his kind!" Wilhem shouted, "I won't stop until they are all dead!"
"You're going to regret this" Chichi said. He smirked.
"And who are you to lecture me? I am now the strongest being in the world. I'd stay quiet if I was you" he then took his gaze down to Goku. He evilly sniggered at his form. Goku's features were deathly frightening. He was pale…very pale. His eyes were closed…he couldn't move…he couldn't think…he couldn't feel…
"If only you could see yourself" Wilhem said quietly to the weary man, "If only you could see…how pathetic you look" Goku winced and opened a tired eye. He focused a little and looked up at the doctor.
"Here" Wilhem said as he pulled him up, breaking the attachments to Goku's body as he did, "You might feel a little dizzy" he said. Goku could hardly stand on his own…
"Hm…maybe you should sit down!" Wilhem pushed Goku flying into the wall. Chichi gasped in shock. She couldn't believe what just happened. No one, except Vegeta maybe, was ever able to push Goku…not like that anyway!
Goku's lifeless form fell into a pile of rubble to the ground with a crash. Chichi gasped and ran over to him. The dark cloaked figures stood and watched.
"Goku!" she cried as she pulled him out of the rubble. She pulled him close, his head resting in her arms, next to her fast paced beating chest.
"Goku sweetheart…speak to me" she whimpered. Blood trickled down his forehead from a large cut to his head. He frowned in pain and opened his eyes slightly.
"Chi" he managed to say quietly. She smiled very lightly.
"Goku…why? Why did you do this!" she almost demanded, tears cascading down her cheeks. Goku closed his eyes and forced a smile upon his face.
"People do…crazy things…when they're in love" he whispered. His smile faded and his body went limb and unhealthily cold…
"Goku?" she questioned. Her bottom lip trembled at his still cold form. She sobbed onto him as she rocked his body back and forth. Her head rested against his, tears running from her face to his.
What was she going to do? What was she going to say? Why? She kept asking herself, what was the reason for this?
"Oh Kami why!" she cried aloud. Little did she hear the footsteps of the approaching hooded killers…
