Chapter 8

The Z-Fighters were puzzled to see that both Goku and Vegeta stopped in their tracks. Weird considering that none of them would of stop their fight for now reason, unless it was very important.

"What going on? Why have they stopped fighting?" said Krillan.

Both Goku and Vegeta flew down and landed on the ground and Goku started to run to where he heard the scream. Goku ran past the group and entered the room where the scream came from. When Goku entered the room, he saw Goten on the floor and Chi-Chi standing over him hitting him with a metal object. Goku had to run over to Chi-Chi and stop her from what she was doing to Goten.

Goku ran over to Chi-Chi and grabbed the metal object out of her hand. Chi-Chi turned around and was surprised to see Goku behind her. Chi-Chi almost jumped out of her shoes when she saw Goku and she was hopping that she can do what she needed to do and get out of here before anyone could notice, but that isn't gonna happen now. Goku ran to check on Goten, who is barely conscious and noticed that some of his earlier cuts reopened and has some bad bruises.

"Chi-Chi. Why would you do this to Goten? He didn't do anything wrong." Said Goku.

"He deserved that after losing the tournament." Replied Chi-Chi.

"He doesn't deserve this kind of a punishment. He did great for his first tournament."

"He should have done better than that. Even after turning into a delinquent, he should have been strong enough to beat Trunks, but I guess not. He's just another weak fighter, like his father."

Goku didn't like what Chi-Chi just said about Goten. Goku knew he wasn't weak, Goten's power level increased a lot today. His power level was higher than anyone expected and him transforming was unexpected as well considering he's never done it before. If he was trained right, he would be a lot more powerful and would have more in control of his form, but right now they have a big problem to deal with.

"What happened to you Chi-Chi? This isn't you." Said Goku.

"You are the reason why. You decided to stay dead for so long, you do whatever you want and ignore my saying, and all you do is train and never earn any money. I should of married Hercule. He has cash that I could have used to live a royal life." Replied Chi-Chi in a harsh way.

Goku would of been mad about that, but Goku didn't care about that, all he cared about was the injuries that Goten has receive from his mother. Goku picked up Goten from off the floor and walked passed Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi didn't care after that, she has plans of her own.

"By the way Goku. We're done and Goten is yours. I don't have time to raise a weak child."

Goku stopped and got even angrier with every word Chi-Chi said but he can't do anything about it, just let her go do her thing and he does his own. Chi-Chi walked passed Goku and left the room. Goku walked out of the room as well and walked to where everyone else was at. Today was suppose to be better than how it was going so far, but now it can change now with a simple wish.

Goku got to the others and informed them on what happened and everyone was surprised to hear about what happened, but they chose to move on from it because they knew Goten was safe now. Goku went to take Goten back to the infirmary and left to visit Korin and grab some senzu beans considering they will do better for Goten than regular medicine.

Goku went to Korin's tower, grabbed a couple of senzu beans and went back to the tournament. Goku reappeared infront of the infirmary and went inside the room to give Goten a bean. Goku went up to the bed where Goten was laying on.

"Hey little guy. Still feeling pain?"

Goten nodded

"Well here take this. You will feel better in no time."

Goten opened his mouth and Goku dropped a bean into his mouth. Goten ate the bean and swallowed it and within an instant, Goten's cuts and wounds were healed and his power was restored. All the pain that Goten felt for a long time is now finally gone. Goten started to bounce all over the room with excitement and Goku just stood by the beds with a smile on his face.

Goten stopped and jumped into his father's arms with tears in his eyes. Goku gave Goten a hug back and felt relieved knowing his son is better now.

"Thank you daddy. I feel so much better."

"That's great to hear. Now it's time to collect the dragonballs, so I can be wished back."

"Really?!"

"Yup. It's about time for me to come back to live and take care of you."

Goten smiled and hugged his father again. Goku threw Goten on top of his shoulder and went to regroup with the others, who are waiting outside the room. Goku told them about wanting to use the dragonballs on Namek to be revived. Everyone liked the plan and wanted to make it happen as fast as possible, but they are in the middle of the tournament and they want to face each other for old times but there is always another time and it could be sooner than anyone expects because Goku will be revived and Goku would want to fight any of them anytime he's ready.

Before they can do anything, they needed to get the dragon radar from Bulma. Goku and Goten left to see Bulma while the others continued on in the tournament. Goku and Vegeta were both eliminated via ring out, so Goku decided to go and get the dragonballs. As for Vegeta, he decided to do some training alone outside the stadium until Goku and Goten come back with their wish granted.

Both Goku and Goten ran into Bulma at a food stand and told Bulma they need the radar to find the dragonballs on Namek and get wished back to life. Bulma told them it was in her lab back at Capsole Corp. and was wondering why both him and Vegeta eliminated themselves earlier. Goku didn't want to tell Bulma yet, but he would have to in the future. Goten grabbed his father's leg and they teleported to Capsole Corp., grabbed the dragon radar and left to Namek with the help of Instant Transmission.

Planet Namek…

Both Goku and Goten got to Namek and appeared in the middle of a familiar looking Namekian village. Goku remembered the village before because it was the same village that Goku came before a long time when he came to get a new guardian for Earth. The Namekians in the village looked at both sons with caution because they are still not use to having visitors appearing out of nowhere. One Namekian walked up to the sons and Goten was a little scared and hid behind his father's leg, but Goku stood still because he recognized the Namekian.

"Welcome back Goku. It's been a long time since we last met hasn't it?" said Moori.

"Yup it has." Replied Goku.

"So you came here to use our dragonballs have you?"

"Yeah since our dragonballs can't revive someone more than once. I need your dragonballs to bring me back to life."

"So it is true. You sacrificed yourself to protect your planet from that creature Cell a long time ago."

Goku nodded in response.

"Well since you have done a lot for us and have done a heroic act, you can use our dragonballs only if you can find them."

"Lucky for us, we got a dragon radar to help us out with that."

Goku turned on the radar and both him and Goten flew in the air and went towards their first Dragonball. A couple of hours later, both sons collected all the Dragonballs and summoned the dragon, Porunga. They only wished for Goku to be revived and told the dragon that they don't need to wish for anything else. The dragon returned to the dragonballs and the dragonballs scattered around the planet.

Both Goku and Goten teleported back to the world tournament on Earth. They appeared infront of everyone and noticed that the tournament is over because everyone is starting to leave and Goku noticed that Hercule won the tournament. Goku was surprised to hear that he won, but he was more surprised to find out that Krillan went on to the finals and threw the fight with Hercule because he bribed Krillan to lose the fight and he would pay him the prize money. Krillan wanted to say no, but he heard that he was gonna pay 18 20 million to throw the first match, so he said yes because him and his family get paid 30 million zeni just to throw their matches, sweet deal I say and 18 will make sure of that.

Everyone decided to head their separate ways for now, besides they think it would be good for Goku and Goten to head back home and settle this thing with Chi-Chi. Everyone went their ways for now. They planned on meeting up at Master Roshi's afterwards for a celebration for Goku coming back to life.

Goku and Goten got to their house in the 439 east district. Goten went behind his father's leg because he might be expecting his mother to come out and attack them or something.

"It's ok Goten. We are fine. I will protect you from your mother." Said Goku in a calming voice.

Goten calmed down a bit and loosen his tight grip on his father's leg. Both sons walked towards the door and noticed a note on it. Goku grabbed the note and it basically said that Chi-Chi got all her stuff and left and she won't be coming back. Both Goku and Goten entered the house and saw that the place was a bit messy with beer cans, bottles, and leftover food all over the place.

"This place is a mess. Why don't I clean up a bit and you change out of your ripped gi and put on something more comfortable."

"Ok daddy."

Goten went to his room to change out of his gi and Goku grabbed a trash bag and started collecting all the trash from around the house and took it outside. Goku came back inside and saw Goten exiting his room wearing a blue sleeveless shirt with a light purple long sleeve shirt underneath, black slacks, and black shoes.

"You ready to go to Master Roshi's?"

Goten nodded his head.

Both father and son walked outside and Goku decided to use nimbus as a way to get to Roshi's island also a good way to take Goten for a ride without using Instant Transmission. Goku called the nimbus cloud and it appeared within seconds. Goten hid behind his father's leg because he didn't know what the cloud was gonna do next considering that this is his first time seeing nimbus. Goku picked up Goten and jumped on the cloud and took off. Goku missed riding on nimbus because he had a lot of fun on the cloud and when Goku looked down at Goten, he could tell Goten was starting to have fun.

Goku and Goten got to Roshi's island and everyone was already here waiting for Goku and Goten to come so they can start the party. Everyone is enjoying the party especially Goten, who hasn't had this much fun in forever.

It's night time and the party is over. Goku is holding a sleeping Goten in his arms and about ready to leave. Goku called nimbus and both father and son went back home. Both father and son got home and Goku went to put Goten to bed and he went to his room and got ready for bed.

'It feels good to be back home. Wished things were different, but o well. Taking care of Goten by myself won't be that bad. Maybe tomorrow I can train Goten so he could be a good fighter. He can be a strong fighter if he had the right teacher and I wouldn't mind doing that for him.' Thought Goku.

Goku was happy knowing that he would spend the day with Goten and maybe train him. He would need the exercise anyways since he probably hasn't been out in a while. Goku closed his eyes and eventually passed out with a smile on his face.

I think this is long enough of a chapter. Still more to come and I would need time to figure out how to add Majin Buu but when I do, the story will turn out great. Thanks again everyone.
