For Better or Worse: Goku Becomes Kakarotto
AN: I retained this chapter and consider it as a What If Kakarotto caused havoc not only in Goku's personal life, but also in the places where he had gone to. And how difficult it is for Chichi, and earth's elite force to subdue him with Bulma's invention.
TAKE NOTE that I still included the battle of Kakarotto and Goku here to make the divergence more evident.
Chapter 7
What Could've Been
The Son house is awfully different since Kakarotto took over Goku's body and mind. Gone is the laughter during meal times and gone are the wonderful father and son spar and fishing bonding. Chichi used to be the queen of her little castle in Mount Paozu. She loves managing her home and cooking her beloved husband and son's favorite meals. She is always happy and excited to start her day. The once joyful home turned into hell on earth. Goku, The pure, innocent, sweet and cheerful hero has turned into a cold hearted task master. Chichi and Gohan's current life is not the same as it used to be. Gohan who was once very close to his father, has grown aloof. But Chichi decided to show more affection to Kakarot in order to win his trust. It was proven effective now; she is secretly training with Piccolo while Gohan does his studying at the Kame house. This set up is a part of Chichi and Gohan's scheme on how to rescue Goku from Kakarotto's control.
Meanwhile at the capsule corporation, Bulma invented a serum that can be used to disarm Kakarotto in battle. According to Piccolo, Chichi is the rightful person to inject this serum onto Kakarot's neck since she is bonded with him as she is bonded with Goku. Yamcha and Krillin are working double time to improve in controlling their Ki's and harnessing their technique. Just like Chichi and Gohan they are steadfast in their intention to bring their leader and hero back.
With everything that has been going on, Kakarot is also pre – occupied destroying one island to another and villages too!The good thing is, before he gets there, the inhabitants have already been transferred to a safer place by the military and police in cooperation with Capsule corp. and the Z warriors. But there is a place where the trustworthy Z warriors together with the military forces overlooked. It is the coldest place in the Dragon ball world. The North Region.
One day Suno and Eighther together with their other friends were having a friendly figured skating competition. All of them were so engrossed with their fun activity until they heard a loud sound that is similar to a thunder. And then the snowy ground began to shake and the thick ice where they are skating on cracked. Suno, Eighther and their friends, run as fast as they could to a safe place they have found. It is the former hideout of the notorious Red Ribbon Army, the muscle tower. The group hid there and didn't come out. But misfortune hits them because the place which they thought is safe, couldn't keep them away from the real harm. Kakarot found muscle tower and he is over eager to crash it. While he is hovering the place and about to blast it, that's when Suno peeked out of the window and found him floating in the air. Suno is delighted to see him, thinking that he is still Goku her childhood sweetheart or at least that's how she thought of him back then. She waved at him and cheerfully called to him. "Hey Goku! Over here! We are all here!" Eighther saw Suno happily waving joined in too.
Kakarotto looked down and saw the pretty red head young lady. He descended to where Suno and her friends at. Suno welcomed him with glee! "Goku it's great to see you again now were gonna be safe ! What brings you here?! Remember Eighther?" Kakarotto feigned a friendly smile and pretended to remember them. He replied in a fake friendly voice. "Hello nice to see you! Kakarotto looks at Suno like a wolf who craves fresh meat and said. "You have grown into a fine woman Suno." With that remark; Suno felt her cheeks grew hot. She used to have a big crush on Goku when they were 12 years old but didn't show it. Now he is back looking so strong, handsome and mysterious. She shyly remarked "Thank you Go Goku." Kakarotto quickly got down to business and said in a low and cold way "Suno, I don't want to be called Goku anymore. My name is Kakarotto that 's what I want you to call me."After hearing what he told her, Suno suddenly felt frightened she could not understand why; but she didn't show it and pretended that she is okay. She replied "Oh alright if that's what you want Kakarotto". He didn't waste time and did what he's been wanting to do. He pulled and slung her on his shoulders then blasted to the sky. Suno screamed and cried until her throat hurts. Kakarotto brought her to their home. And sternly told her, "From now on you are a servant. You are my mate's handmaiden. I want my female to be in the place where I want her to be." Suno sobbed and asked."What happened to you? We were friends. Why are you treating me so badly now? Kakarotto huffed and said, "Everyone I know asks me that. I don't care to answer! You better not try to run away because you will suffer for it!" Kakarotto said wickedly. Then he got out of the house and buffeted to the sky. Suno wept bitterly.
Gohan have just finished giving Icarus a bath and then decided to take a joy ride. When he came home, he saw Suno sobbing in their garden. He helped Suno escape. He lowered his Ki, so that his "father" will not be able to follow him. On the ride to Capsule corporation, Gohan explained everything to her. She felt sympathy for Chichi and Gohan and praised them for being courageous. Gohan and Suno reached Capsule Corporation just in time. Chichi and the rest of the Z warriors are already there. Chichi and Bulma welcomed Suno, and served her a calming tea with chocolate chip cookies.
Three hours have passed and everything seems to be okay. Until the Capsule Corp's building is shaking and the walls cracked. The glass windows shattered. Everybody hurriedly got out of the building. Bulma and Suno, together with Bulma's parents quickly boarded the Hover Jet and flew to Kame house. The rest of the Z warriors stayed behind with Chichi and Gohan.
Yamcha, Krillin, Piccolo and Tien Shinhan ascended to the rooftop of Capsule Corporation. There they saw, Kakarotto standing on the center on the roof's building, giving them an evil smirk. He said "Hello puny warriors! Any last words before I pulverize all of you? Piccolo told the group. "Don't let his mockery affect you. Focus all your Ki's and we will integrate it together and then I'll cue Gohan and Chichi." The group silently agreed. Kakarotto got into a fighting stance. His eyes glistened with thrill. He felt his blood rapidly rushing through his veins and his heart pounding like a drum cymbal. He can't wait to destroy Goku's friends because; they were the reason why he got held back in Goku's mind for many years. Now that he has been liberated, he will take every chance he'll get to topple them down and dominate the world. But good will always reign over evil and it starts now.
Unbeknownst to Kakarotto the Z fighters have already built up and focused their Ki's onto their hands. With the swift move they integrated their Ki's without the need of seeing the energy beam gathering into one line. Gohan already felt it, he taken it as his cue and Chichi's that's why Gohan took his mother by the hand and ascended on top of Capsule corp.
Kakarotto is beginning to wonder why the group has not launched any attack yet and why does his mate, joining the battle? Little did he know that they already made a move against him. When he charged on the Z warriors, he came into a halt. Kakarotto feels his body starting to grow weak. The unseen energy beam from them enveloped him and the more that he struggles, the more he feels entrapped.
Piccolo then shouted "Chichi now!" Gohan gave his mother a boost as she somersaulted to the air. With a speedy move, she gave Kakarotto the serum shot on his neck. The shot soon has taken effect on him and slowly his eyes got heavy and then he went limp. Yamcha slung him on his shoulders and all of them went back to the Son house. Chichi called Bulma to Kame house and upon her arrival, Bulma begins to instruct Chichi what they are going to do. "Chi, I am going to extract 1 cc of your blood and inject it on Goku. And then I am going to put on this reprogramming device on his head. It will trigger all of his good memories." Chichi replied "Thank you Bulma. I am truly grateful for this." The two admirable women hugged. Suno approached Chichi and offered to help. The raven beauty happily obliged.
Everything has been set up. Even the dinner feast. They are going to celebrate the moment Goku comes back. Before they start with the reprogramming of Goku, Chichi and Suno talked. Suno said "Chichi thank you for taking care of me while I was in bad shape earlier today and thank you for welcoming me into your home." Chichi kindly remarked "You became friends with my husband back then, a friend of my Goku is a friend of mine of too." The two engaged in a friendly hug and then went back inside the house.
Goku has been injected with Chichi's blood and the reprogramming device is already placed on Goku's head. He looks like he is in deep slumber but, his mind is at work. Goku traveled through his life once again. His first stop was when he won against Piccolo on the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament and then he found himself wearing an elegant white tuxedo and by his side is the most beautiful woman he set his eyes on, wearing an exquisite wedding gown. And then he saw a little boy with tail who looks like him and a little bit of Chichi who loves to read books and ride with him on the flying nimbus. And then he saw his fight with Frieza again and how he turned into a Super Saiyan for the first time and defeated Frieza.
Now he is engaged in a battle again. The enemy he is facing now is much stronger than those he fought before because; this time he is going to fight himself. He is going to fight his dark self and Kakarotto are standing face to face only 4 meters away and ready to tear each other apart. Goku is seething with righteous indignation. His power has built up and he is now illuminating in golden semblance. His hair turned gold as the sun and his eyes is teal like the ocean. Everything about Goku is more sensational than before. The ground shook and the rocks lifted with one powerful scream. Kakarotto just stood still and taken it all in and then he himself powered up. He is surrounded with a Black and Red semblance, and then his pupils disappeared.
Goku spoke before he charged at Kakarotto "Never again will I grant you the right to invade my identity and hurt my family and friends! I am going to end your evil reign! Aaaaghhh! He charged at Kakarotto and bombarded him with a barrage of punches and kicks. Kakarotto was able to dodge some of Goku's punches and kicks, until Goku hit him hard on the gut with his right knee. Kakarotto fell on his knees and started contorting. He couldn't tilt his head to glance up at Goku because of the pain he feels. When he stopped throwing up he looked at Goku with a malicious grin and said. "You are a fool if you think; you have gotten rid of me. I am you and you are me. We are one and the same." Goku glared at him and said, "Yes you may be right that we are one and the same; but keep this in mind! It is up to me if you are going to be in control or not. And I say never again! With that, Goku blasted him to oblivion with his famous move since he was a kid. Kaah Meeeh haaa meeh Haaaa! A white energy beam with a blue hue drowned Kakarotto and he disintegrated into thin air.
Back in Real time at the Son house
Everybody is waiting down stairs and outside the house for 2 excruciating hours, except for Chichi who stayed inside the bedroom with Goku. The light of the reprogramming device begins to blink and Goku's eyes started to flutter. Chichi abruptly got up from where she is sitting and walked towards Goku but kept a safe distance. When Goku finally opened his eyes, He flashed Chichi his heart melting grin and said. "Hi honey! I'm back is there any food? I am starving!"Chichi felt her tears flow down on her cheeks. When Goku saw it, he removed the device on his head, walked towards his wife and locked her in a loving embrace. He said "Everything is alright now honey, Kakarotto won't be in control anymore. I promise." Chichi embraced Goku back and cried her heart out.
AN:Fanfic readers, I retained this original chapter because I've considered it as a divergence. What could have transpired if Chichi and Kakarotto had a more unpleasant relationship because Goku lost his control completely. And how would they bring Goku back. I hope you won't get confused.
Thank you guys for reading and I appreciate constructive reviews without the use of even the slightest profanity.
