Chapter 43: daddy's here

As dad recovered, Mr. Vegeta showed us where the ship had extra armor. It looked funny, but cool. He said they stretch, but they don't look it. Once I did try one on, it did stretch, and it feels comfy too. Krillin complained about the shoulder pads, but I was able to move in them. But we were jealous that Mr. Vegeta had one without the funny padding. I'm just surprised that Mr. Vegeta put Krillin as lookout, and me to watch over the dragon balls. It's also surprising how fatigued Mr. Vegeta seemed, even though he tried pulling off that he wasn't.

Mr. Vegeta is mad that we started making a wish without him. He's also angry for the fact his wish can't be granted. But now we're all in deep trouble cause Frieza's here, and we're being toyed with. I really hope dad recovers soon. NO! Why did that monster kill Dende! Me and Krillin try to hold him off, but clearly, he's way to strong. Then Mr. Vegeta goes off about being something called a Super Sayian.

Frieza is now brutally beating Mr. Vegeta. Even Mr. Piccolo is here, but he can't do anything either. Everything seems completely hopeless. Frieza is even enjoying causing Mr. Vegeta agonizing pain. I can't stand to watch or listen, but there's nothing I could do. Daddy! Mommy! I'm so scared.

Just when things was looking over for Mr. Vegeta, did Frieza finally threw him to the side. He now how his sight on us. He started making his way towards us, and panic started running down my spine. Daddy! I need you!

…

I was starting to feel just about heal, when I felt something strange. It felt like I could sense Piccolo was on Namek. I could also sense that strong power growing, and it's making me extremely uncomfortable. What's worst, is that I can feel Vegeta energy draining with every passing moment. I can sense how everyone is trying to stand their ground, but it's no use. But what's scaring me, is that, I could feel how terrified my son. Daddy! I need you! I'm coming Gohan!

…

Daddy finally showed up. Just in time too! Daddy doesn't look too happy. Mr. Vegeta is begging for his life; he's even crying. Poor Mr. Vegeta. WHY? Why did Frieza killed him? Mr. Vegeta couldn't do anything. That monster!

Is the fight over? Did dad win? Dad looks pretty rough up, but I'm so happy to see him. "Daddy!" I just can't help run over to him, and give him a hug. "I was so scared." He hugs me back. I don't ever want to let go. "I want to go home. I want mom." I could feel him rubbing my back. I'm trying so hard not to cry. Its ok, daddy got you. I hope this moment last. I really almost forgot what it felt like to be embraced by my dad. Right now, I wish with all my heart I was back home, and me, daddy, and mommy are all happy. I wish I was curled up in mommy and daddy bed, with them hugging me to sleep. Mommy would be humming a tune, while daddy hugging us protectively, like always.

The moment just had to be ruined, by that damn monster! Not only did he badly injured Mr. Piccolo, he killed… he killed. "KRILLIN!" Oh no! Daddy! Mommy once told me that Krillin died before, but daddy never saw it happened. But now… Now it's not good. I could feel the anger and pain rushing through the air, like a violent storm. Daddy's hair is even changing color. Everything about daddy is just exploding with energy. I've seen daddy angry before, but never like this. It feels scary.

…

"KRILLIN!" NO! It can't be possible! I wasn't there to stop him from dying the first time, but this time… This time… I hopelessly watched, as he screamed my name in pain. The horror written all over his face. The fear, the moment he was lifted up. This wouldn't have happened if I was strong enough. This wouldn't have happened if I was sure I killed this monster!

The bastard will pay! I just felt my anger and pain consume me. I didn't even try to stop it. I don't care anymore. THIS BASTARD IS GOING TO PAY! "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS! FIREZA!" At that moment, everything went still as I heard something snap. Then an unimaginable rage exploded from my core. I felt engulf in torment, and a thirst for blood. I wanted blood. I wanted to kill the bastard. I want to make him surfer till the end of time. I want to rip him till there's nothing left.

"Daddy?" For a moment the storm had calm, as I look towards the source of that word. My son. With every ounce of strength, I tried to control myself, and tell him to get back to the ship. To leave, and to save Piccolo. But instead, he's shaken with fear, as he tries to walk towards me.

"Damn it, boy! I have spoken! Now get the hell out of here! And take Piccolo. Don't worry about me!" Your safely is more important. One last look at him, he nods and starts to make his way. That's when I saw Frieza aiming at my son. Oh no you don't, you bastard! I let the rage take over, as I face this beast.

…

As I flew Piccolo to the ship, I felt a sense of pride. My daddy is so strong. Was that what Mr. Vegeta meant by Super Sayian? My daddy is a super sayian? My daddy is a super sayian! So cool.

The moment I reach the ship, everything feels off. I could barely stand up. I try to find a safe place to leave Mr. Piccolo, since I had to go back and get Bulma. That's when the monitor came down, and on it was mom. Mom is so worried, but I can't stay. I need to save Bulma. Don't worry mommy, I'm coming home. But first things first. I love you mom.

…

My baby boy. Why didn't he stay on the ship? It looks dangerous. My baby. I could feel the tears starting to form. Damn it! "DR. BIREF! GET THIS SHIP MOVING! MY BABY IS IN TROUBLE!" For a father, who also has his daughter on that horrid planet, he sure is calm. Doesn't he get that she too is in great danger? It's like I'm the only one who actually cares for their child.

Just when we're finally about to launch, does he tell us that everyone is on earth. Does that mean, my baby's home? I rush to him and beg that he takes me with him. I need to see my baby boy!

As we're reaching where Bulma said they were, I come to see a sea of Piccolos. I don't care about that. I'm trying to locate my son, amongst everyone. When we land, I rush out and start asking where is my son. They all pointed to a tree, and I rush on over. That's when I see him, sitting on a rock, not facing me. He's also next to Piccolo. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm actually happy to see him alive.

I go and pick my baby up, in a tight hug. Thankfully he hugs me back. "Mommy's here. I'm not letting you go now." I could hear the soft muffles of crying coming from him. I hug him tight, and I could feel my own tears starting to build. I then remembered what I promised myself I would do, if I ever get the chance. As much as I hate this, I walk over to Piccolo. Even though seeing him gets me so angry, I try to stay as nice as possible. "Thank you." I don't even give him a chance to reply, as I walked away, back to the ship.

Once inside, I couldn't help to keep my baby close. I stopped caring about what was happening around me, since all that matter was my baby boy. Then I heard that Bulma was calling out to one more person. Out of curiosity, I watched the doors. It was a male figure, almost looked like I've seen him somewhere. Then I remembered what happened before Gohan was brought to the hospital. It was one of those guys. It's a sayian. I remembered Krillin saying his name. What was it again? Oh, Vegeta.

He almost had some similarities with my Goku. They both had spike hair, very muscular compared to normal body builders, and those black eyes. "Mom stop staring, Mr. Vegeta is giving us a mean look." Oops. Sorry. I then brought back my focus to Gohan. And asked him all about his trip. He didn't seem like he wanted to answer. That's ok baby, you don't have to say anything.

"Does my baby boy want me to cook him something special?" No mom, it wouldn't feel right. "Nonsense. When daddy comes home, I'll make him something special too." He smiled at that and hugged me tighter. I did feel I was being watched, and when I looked up it was Vegeta. What? He just shock his head. Weird.

Once we came to the Brief's home, was when I felt eyes on me again. I looked back and again, Vegeta was looking at me. I couldn't stand it, so I faced him and flat out asked what was his problem. He just laughed, shock his head, and walked past me.

…

As we waited for the Namekian dragon balls to be recharged, everything seemed to be back to normal. Mom still didn't like Mr. Piccolo, but surprised that she allowed me to see him. With the only rule being that he didn't come near the house. She also let me go to Bulma's, to play with Dende. I even saw Mr. Vegeta walking around the area sometimes. I was still mad with him, about what he said about my dad. Same time I felt really sorry for him.

I wonder if Mr. Vegeta is actually sad that he's technically the last of his race. "Kid shut the hell up!" Oh great. He's actually here today, instead of disappearing like usual. "Kid, if you got something to say, fucking say it!" I'm out of here, I don't need this. That's when Mr. Vegeta grabbed me by the hair, and pulled me into a near by room. What the hell— "Shut up and listen. Can you stop thinking so damn loud, it's fucking annoying. Don't you know how to control it?" Why he even getting mad at me? "I'll take that as a fucking no."

"Oh, shut up. I'm leaving." As I try to leave, he pulls me by the hair again. "What the heck do you want from me?"

"Didn't you fucking have questions? I'm giving you the fucking opportunity to fucking ask. Now speak brat!" Oh! I couldn't help but smile at that. "Ask before I change my mind!" With that said, we had a long conversation about what were sayians. And our history, and what we could do, and how were we different from humans.

…

The battle is finally over, and I nearly escaped with my life. I'm so glad this pad was in time. Wherever I go I know it's not home. But at least I'll have time to figure out how to get home. I hope Gohan isn't giving Chichi any trouble. My little man is really something. When I get home, I'll make sure to make them feel happy. After what just happened, I'm not sure if I want to continue training. I missed my life before this whole mess. I was bored, to an extent, but it was peaceful, and my family was happy.

For some reason I feel unnaturally exhausted. Maybe a little nap is in order.

…

I wonder where Gohan ran off to. I came to pick him up, but not even Bunny knows where he is. Gohan where are you? That's when I see a door opening, and my little boy's hand, singling me to come. Once inside the room, I come to realize he wasn't alone. I felt anger building, as I stare at him. "You didn't hurt my baby, did you?"

"Calm down, woman." He could sure use some manners. "Even when you think you're load. Damn it, harpy." So, wait. You can— "Yes. And I'm getting sick of it. Now listen up. I'm only going to say this once. For the love of god, learn to turn that off. And from what the boy told me; you'll actually be able to do so." Confusing. "You're a rare breed indeed. Especially on this back-water planet." He then looks to my son. "You sure she's human?" He nods. Then Vegeta looks back at me. "You sure abnormal for a human."

That comment actually pissed me off. For years I've heard that. And now some alien, that doesn't even know me, says that to me. To my face. In front of my son! I just saw red, and all I can recall is aiming a punch at his face. What brought me back was how my hand felt, as if I punched a steal. He then grabbed me by the throat. "How dare you hit me, you worthless—" I just took a big bite out at his hand.

He let go of me, and backed away. "Don't ever touch me! Ever again!"

He just smirked, and started working past me. "Kakarot truly is a sayian after all. Especially mating with a strange, abnormal female."

…

Mom punched Mr. Vegeta, and even bit his hand. My mom is either super brave or just crazy. Then again, telling mom to back down from a fight is near impossible. Sometimes I question, who's really the strong one between my parents. And if I get my strength from mom, compared to dad. Who knows, but I do know one thing. Mr. Vegeta isn't going let that slide a second time. "Mom." She looks down at me. "Don't do that again. You might not be lucky the second time."

She doesn't look fazed by my concern, and that worries me. Dad was right. Mom doesn't know when to back down. But now I'm curious about mom's reaction to being called abnormal. Mom is pretty normal to me. "I wasn't always this way. Besides, you're my son. Of course, I'm normal to you." I smile up at her. "So, what did you talk about with Vegeta, that made him say that able to control it? And what is it?" I then tried my best to tell mom, what Mr. Vegeta told me. Mom even was blushing at some parts, but I didn't get it. She also her hand over that weird mark, on her neck.

Whenever I asked about that mark, mom always got mad. But I couldn't help asking again, especially what's going on. "Your father gave it to me, on our wedding night." I don't get it. It looks like it hurt. And how come it lasted this long? Plus, why is mom blushing like crazy and looking away?

That's when Mr. Vegeta stormed back in the room. I got in front of mom, just in case he tried anything funny. He just looked at my mom, and asked how long. "Five years." He then said how that doesn't seem right. And go about asking how long my parents knew each other. "Since we were 12. Why should it matter to you, anyway?"

"Because sayian chose their life mate before becoming 5 years of age. It's rare for a sayian to chose a life mate after he's grown. The fact that he mark proves he knew you, way before you two were 12." With that Mr. Vegeta walked again. And this time I made sure to sense that he was off the compound.

I looked back to mom, and she looked shock beyond belief. "Mom?"

Oh great. Mom's angry. Grandpa better run for his life.
