Me: Well, I got no reviews so I decided to update for your sake anyways. Sorry to leave you in suspense, but I wanted to keep you guys guessing. I won't say anything else here, so please read and review. (And I mean it!)

ENJOY!

"Rocky? Rocky! Get up!"

"Huh? Wha-?"

Slade was hovering over me and he looked fine. My head was hurting and I wasn't Super Saiyan 4 anymore.

"You okay?" dad asked.

"How-how are you-?"

"How am I what?"

"How are you still alive?"

Dad looked down at himself for a few seconds and he redirected his gaze at me.

"Should I not be?" he asked confused.

"You were hit by my Ten Times Kamehameha Wave, while I was in Super Saiyan 4 mode," I said. "You were bleeding to death. There's no way you survived that. Y-you… you can't be real… you just can't be."

Slade walked over to the opened window and he sighed heavily. He wasn't looking at me, but he was staring out the window and I sensed something very wrong.

"I… I have a confession to make," he said. "I've kept too many secrets from you already. You have a right to know the truth."

"The truth about what?"

"The truth of why you are here, with me, ever since I took you in," he said still staring out the window. "The wizard that tried to kill you didn't kill your Mother." I stood up on the bed, staring at dad. "I… I did. I'm the reason she's dead."

"Y-you killed her?" I asked not believing dad's words.

"Yes," he said sadly. "I sent "The Black Smoke of Death" to kill her."

"W-why?"

"The first day you came to Earth," he said, "I knew you were special. There was just something about you that I saw in you. I want to say I did this for both of us, but then I'd be lying. I did it for my own personal gain. I did it for me and me alone."

"Well, I don't-"

"I'm not finished yet," he said, still staring out the window. "I didn't die yesterday because… This is very hard to tell you and I hope, that, once you hear me out, that you don't have the urge to leave me. I'm immortal. I can't die. And if I had the thing that made me immortal, I'd give it to you. But you can't find the chemicals to create it… And I can't reverse the effect." He looked away from the window and he looked at me. He looked very sad and he had tears coming out of his eye. "I understand if you hate me now, but, please, understand that I love you no matter what you decide. I realize that, for the time that you've been with me, that I love you enough to allow you to decide your own future. It doesn't matter to me what you choose. I just hope your heart isn't completely black where you can't have the decency to forgive me."

Dad started walking to the door, but I stopped him.

"I don't care."

Slade turned his head towards me.

"You don't care about what?"

"I don't care that you lied to me," I said. "I'm actually glad that you did. Because if you told me the truth when you took me in, I wouldn't have wanted to go with you. I love you just as much as you love me. I stopped caring about a lot of things a long time ago. I don't care about anything anymore."

We stood in silence for several more minutes.

"So, you're not mad?"

"No Dad, I'm not," I said. "I'm just glad you told me the truth. You're the only one I have left, and nothing can take you away from me. And nothing will keep us away from Robin either. I'll always be with you and you'll always be with me."

"Come on," he said. "I think you'd want a look at the video of your Super Saiyan powers. I recorded the whole thing and I think you'll like what you see."

We headed for the control room and he played the tape. It started off with me in Super Saiyan mode, turning into Super Saiyan 2. When I turned Super Saiyan 2, electricity flowed around my body and the glow was turning a darker shade of yellow, almost black. Then my fur grew really long and the glow was almost a dark black. I was in Super Saiyan 3 mode for a few minutes and my body was flashing dark blue. After a few flashes, my body turned dark blue and there was red lightning-shaped fur running down my back. The glow was completely black, but it went away while I was still Super Saiyan 4. Then I attacked dad. I looked away and Slade stopped the tape. He knew what I was feeling and he gave me a side hug. I was scared of my Super Saiyan 4 and I didn't want to turn into it again. Super Saiyan 2 was going to be my limit and I wouldn't go any higher.

"I'll never turn Super Saiyan 4 ever again," I said.

"And I won't make you."

We stayed in the control room, but Slade wouldn't stop hugging me… And I didn't pull away.

Me: I know, another short chapter, but the next one will be a little longer, hopefully. I'll try my best and I'll update again soon. Please review.
