Summary: An unfortunate training accident causes Goku's long-forgotten "Kakorat" to resurface permanently. Now his friends and family must learn to love and accept him. But can Chichi learn to love and accept the new Goku? And can the new Goku learn to love her back?
Chichi's heart raced inside her chest. The feeling of happiness filled her entire body as she realized that her Goku was finally up. She raced towards her husband and grabbed onto his body as tight as she could. ''Goku I was so worried about you, I thought you were going to leave me alone again'', she cried out as a stream of tears began rolling off her face. She kept bringing her body and his closer and closer. ''Why don't you ever listen to me. I knew you were going to make a mess out of things. But your stubborn Saiyan brain doesn't want to listen to anything I say''. Chichi brought his head and placed it into her chest. She continued to coddle him as she ran her fingers through his head, giving him some slight kisses as she did. Finally the intense emotional moment with her frustrated Goku to the extent of somewhat.
''Get off of me already!'', he shouted abruptly.
All eyes were on Goku's now full awakened body. His eyes shifted all around the bright room. His facial expressions clearly emintad that he was confused as to where he was and who he was with.
"Are you people stupid or something? I said who the hell are you guys!''. Quickly she stepped blinked, almost as if she was trying to make sure that this was all real and not some made-up figment of her imagination.
''What...What do you mean? We are your family, these are your friends''.
His eyes continued to pierce her own. Filled with anger due to the confusion of the whole situation.
"Don't you remember Goku?", Chichi once again got near his bed. "All of these guys here have been your friends since you were a child. This is your son, Goten. We have an older son named Gohan, and Goku I'm- I'm your wife". Chichi placed her hand on Goku's shoulder with care. She wanted him to feel the care and worry for his well-being that emanated from Chichi's aura. Only this did not happen.
Goku moved his shoulder abruptly. Leaving Chichi's hand stretched out. Crossing his arms in front of his chest he lifted his head and nose up. "I would never have matted with someone so inferior like you, let alone have offspring who clearly are nothing but a bunch of half breeds. What a disgrace". Goku scoffed. The prideful Saiyan shocked all of the room's attendings. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife from how thick it was. If someone were to drop a pin you could be sure everyone would hear it.
Of course, this was it wasn't him. It was his body, but not him. Not at all. The Goku everyone knew and loved would never talk to Chichi in that way. Let alone hurt her feelings in such a harsh manner.
Chichi didn't say anything. Not even a teardrop shed from her eyes. She only fixed a couple of loose hairs from her bun and deeply sighed.
"Fine", was all she said as he made her way out the infirmary's door. Goten looked towards his mother. Noticing that the whole situation did hurt her feelings. Even if she would admit it or at least show it at the moment. The boy looked towards his father, a half worried smile formed on his face. He shook his head in agreement with himself that trying to reason with his dad wouldn't amount to anything. Trunks placed his hand onus friend back. Reassuring him that everything would be okay. Mr. Briefs took a few puffs of his cigarette and beckoned his wife to follow him out. " I'll go and get started on something to eat. I'm sure Goku and everyone else would love some type of special dinner. In the meantime I'll fix some snacks for the kids. Are you coming, Buma dear?". held on her waistline as they both scurried out of the cold room.
Just a sec".Bulma followed everyone out with her eyes. She too, in somewhat of a state of shock. Only she didn't know why she was so surprised by this kind of behavior. She did in fact marry the prince of all Saiyans. If anyone were to be full of pride that would be Vegeta.
If anyone was going to try and talk some sense into Goku It would be Bulma. If Goku was stubborn, Bulma was, even more, she had been dealing with Vegeta for a while, she knew a thing or about getting her way with stubborn prideful Saiyans.
She placed her hand on a button near the door. The swoosh confirmed that it's closing. Now she could see what was up with Goku."What the hell is wrong with you". Her voice took a firm tone.
Bulma placed her hands on her hips. Standing with all of her authority by the medical bed.
"Look Goku, it's just me and you now. Everyone else is gone and can't hear us. What's gotten into you? It's not normal for you to act out especially towards Chichi. She was just worried about you. We all were. And even more, know that you have no idea what's going on. Do you want me to run some tests and see if maybe I could help you out? Or there are other things we can do. Some pictures may be, spending time with all of your friends and family. ".
Goku moved his gaze towards Bulma, only halfway. "I have no family. I have no idea who you are or who the banchi was. Hell, the kid may look like me but there is no way in hell I would have procreated something and especially with her. And I have no idea how I ended up in this situation with you". Oku's voice stayed low.
But once again, scoffing her off and turning his back towards her. Arms fixed in the same position and shutting her out.
"Goku come on. It's me Bulma. You've known me way before anyone else. Before Yamcha, Master Roshi, Krillin, and even your own wife. Come on dude, you're my best friend", pausing for a moment. "Hello, earth to Goku. You do know I am talking to you''. She snapped her fingers close to his form. Still nothing. Goku continued to ignore her actions and attempts.
In full Bulma fashion, she began to lose her patiencedue to her not getting her way. " Goku, get your shit together and get off your freaking high horse."She paused briefly. "Or would you rather I called you Kakarot since Goku doesn't seem to be working."
Kakarot, that name. It repeated over and over and over in Goku's head. Each time with different voices. Voices he was more than sure we're not the same as the life forms he was interacting with. Somehow, those ghostly voices had a difference. Power? Strength? Or maybe some type of connection? Was it bad? Or was it a good thing? It was the only true connection he had felt with all that had been said to him during the past hour. He wasn't sure, not in the slightest.
Goku's eyes changed. Not only in size but in the hue of his dark eyes. His body seemed to have loosened some of the tenses he had been caring for. And his breathing was almost nonexistent.
"Great maybe I should call you that. At least that got some type of reaction from you".
You shot up out of the bed. He took Bulma in his strong hands and wrapped his fingers around her pale neck. Lifting her body above the ground where her feet had just been planted on. His dark eyes stared into her sapphire-colored ones. Bulma took her hand and grabbed onto Goku's muscular forearm. Attempting to get a grip to lift herself up. Her breath became shorter and forceful.
"Goku", she gasped. "Goku you're hurting me. Let-Let go".
He tightened his grip slightly. "Not until you tell me why did you call me that. What does that mean? Who gave me that me woman!" Bulma's eyes began to tear up. Her pale skin began to fill her purple face expressed fear and confusion about what was happening.
"I-I can't", she continued to struggle.
"You can't, you won't." he raised his voice. Bulma by this point couldn't make sense of what Goku was saying. She began to lose sight of reality. "I guess I'll just have to squeeze it out of you".
The door slammed wide open. "Let go of her you fucking clown"! Vegeta stormed into the room. Grabbing the collar of Goku's clothes. Clenching his jaw, and took a jab towards Goku's Jaw. Instantly he did let go of Bulma. Her body hit the ground as she gasped for air. She began coughing trying to bring her body back to normal. Vegeta kneeled beside his wife and placed his hands around her smaller form. "Are you okay", his concerned voice whispered into her ear.
Bulma shook her head. "I'm better now, thank you". He then took his attention back towards Goku. Who was now laying on the floor. Holding his body up with his forearm and the other over his jaw.
"What in the hell is wrong with you dipshit. Why were you hurting Bulma? Hell, I should do the same to you or even worse."Vegeta barked as he began heading towards Goku.
"Wait Vegeta hold on". He turned to look at his wife who was still on the floor composing himself. "He's not Goku". Vegeta lifted an eyebrow. Clearly confused as to what Bulma had ment.
"Bulma, what on earth are you talking about? What do you mean by this isn't Kakarot."
Bulma got on her feet. She fixed her lab coat, "That exactly what I mean. That isn't Goku. That's Kakarot. He's back to only knowing his Saiyan name. He doesn't know of any use of Vegeta or what happened all these years".
Vegeta looked down at the Saiyan. Vegeta's eyebrowed lowered and knitted together. He once again grabbed onto Goku's clothes and lifted him up to face him. "If you're back to being Kakarot then you have already disgraced the Saiyan name that was given to you. Never in your right mind ever put a hand on Bulma, on my wife ever again". Vegeta loosened his grip. Grabbing onto Bulma's hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. Then placing his hand on the door's opening button. He put Bulma before him. "Go," he told her.
"But I have to see-". Vegeta interrupted her. "Go Bulma, I'll catch up. Just go". He beckoned her with his eyes. Bulma looked up at her husband. She tisked but then rightfully agreed. She headed down the hallway and until she was out of sight Vegeta took his attention towards Goku.
"So you're Kakarot now."Goku didn't say anything. His face almost in a permanent scowl.
"Why do you guys call me that. Who gave me that name. What does it have to do with any of this."
"It means you're were sent here as an infant to conquer this very planet but you could even do that". He spat out. Goku's guard started to settle down.
"And you are you, how do you know so much.". He yelled.
"I'm a Saiyan you half brain. I am the prince of all Saiyans. That's why I know so much. That's why you're not losing your shit with me here. You can sense it, can't you? The same strong energy you have been emanating I have it as well. We Saiyans were once a warrior race. The best known. We were conquerors of planets and were brilliant battle strategists. We all had a power so immense that no enemy could ever defeat us. That's why Freeza used us to do his bidding. That good for nothing, bastard, but in the end when we were the last full-blooded Saiyans, you managed to defeat the little bitch".
"What do you mean full-blooded? Is there more like us?".Goku's eyes widened.
"Your two sons as well my son are half-blooded Saiyans. Born from the women here on earth".
"That can't be. I would never have ever mated with a life form so weak such as the ones here. I know you can feel their lower level. They are nothing compared to us. And the woman, she is insignificant". Once again Vegeta's blood began to boil. Quickly and without any sort of warning, He pinned Goku onto the wall that was behind him. Using the back of his forearm to keep Goku in place.
"Listen here Kakarot. Never in your miserable life talk ill-witted about the mother of your offspring. What good is a Saiyan without his mate or without any offspring to carry out our name? If you can't seem to see that then open your goddamn eyes. Or you shouldn't even call yourself Saiyan. Don't disgrace the very Saiyan name that has been given to you. What good is a Saiyan if he has not his pride intact, and your family is part of the pride? Don't forget it. And if you do, then really are a low-class scum who deserves nothing. Now get your shit together".
