He'll Always Be A Part Of You.
It has been 2 years already since Goten and Uru became best friends. Uru's father, Jabari still has a plan on getting back at Goku and Vegeta.
One day in The Outlands, Jabari walked around his dark, thick cave, carefully, thinking to himself. Uru was out training.
"How to get Goku and Vegeta back? Hm.." He thought. "Who was that boy two years ago Uru talked to? Goshin? Golan? Goten? Goten! Yeah that's his name. He is the key to all this, if I return back to his home and plan something, he will run away and never return and then Goku will become weakened for his missing son, making Vegeta feeling bad and helping him out, with the rest, and life would never be the same. We will strike at them, just a few more years..." He started laughing evilly.
There, stood Uru, on the side of the cave hiding, but listening to her father. She gasped and became mad and sad. She took out the half diamond shaped heart out of her pocket and looked at it. 'Don't worry Goten buddy, I won't hurt you, and I won't let my dad hurt you either. I'll come for you soon. I promise.' She said to herself, but quickly put it away because her father walked out.
"..Uru! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be doing training? Kemoshi!" Jabari shouted to his other allie. Kemoshi came running towards them.
"Where were you? You were supposed to be watching and training Uru!" He lost his temper and pinned down Kemoshi.
"Ahhgh! I'm sorry boss! I won't do it again!" He struggled in Jabari's grasp.
"Good." He let go of him. "Now Uru, my powerful warrior, continue you're training, we have much to attend to.
Uru half smiled and half glared but nodded. She felt something hurt from her behind, and a tail popped out. She's a saiyan! But Jabari isn't a saiyan, her mother was half saiyan.
The young one grunted, and gasped as she saw her tail. Uru remembered how Jabari said saiyans have tails, and super strength. 'So...I'm a saiyan! But daddy isn't...what about mommy?' She thought. She saw her father still walkng away with Kemoshi.
"I better hide my tail so daddy doesn't find out." She wrapped her tail around her waist, under her pants.
Kemoshi turned around, "Come on Uru! We're not getting any younger!"
She quickly jogged towards the men, and resumed training...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back With Goten and Goku~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good job son!" Goku said to his son, who has reached his highest peak at a Super Saiyan. "You are so close into becoming a Super Saiyan 2!"
Both sons were sending punches and kicks to eachother. But they both knew Goku is much stronger, but Goten never gave up.
Goten fell to his knees, and breathed heavily. "...Daddy, I can't do it..." He covered his face with his arm.
The tall warrior knelt down to Goten and put a hand on his shoulder. "Son, I know you can become stronger. You have the ability to do this! You're amazing and you can accomplish anything! Remember, never run from a battle, protect the people around you, and stop the evil." He told his son. The boy let out a wide smile.
He threw his arms around Goku's neck and squeezed him, Goku returning the hug.
"Goten, it's time you reach the next level of a Super Saiyan." Said Goku.
"But...daddy, I'm only 9! Big brother was 12 when he became a Super Saiyan and the next level. I'm too young, I can't." The boy bowed his head.
Goku shut his eyes for a moment. "I really didn't want to show you this, but it's only for you to learn the reality of what's going to happen." The man placed his strong hand softly on his son's forehead and focused.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Questioned the 9 year old.
"Just bare with me Goten."
Just like that, Goku transferred all the flashbacks that happened to Goku and Gohan in the past, how enemies killed the loved ones and tortured all the people, and killing Goku.
All those flashbacks made Goten gasp softly and pulled away from Goku.
"Son..wait..." He started, but was stunned to see up in the sky a crack of lightning struck. He looked back down to his son. Goten's head was lowered, and his fists were clenched tight, and the boy was breathing heavily. Tears were falling down down the boy's face, and onto the soft grass. Goku kept staring down at his little one.
Goten's jet-black hair risin up, staying spiky, a flash of aura striking all over his little body. He whimpered only softly, his coal black eyes changing into different colors in fact. From yellow, to red, to finally turquioze. His spiky hair changed to blood red, and blue lightning forming around his body.
Goku only gaped like a fish, finding it unable for him to move a muscle, in fact, scared to see Goten this angry. He has never been this angry. Goten's power kept rising and rising, it has surpassed beyond a Super Saiyan 2, but not yet a Super Saiyan 3. Goten let out a scream and a cry, then collapsed to his knees, still in transformation form. He kept breathing heavily, half of shirt ripped off because of the lightning. His necklace fell out. It was the other half diamond shaped heart, Uru gave him 2 years ago. Thinking about her, Goten settled down, but was out of energy, and changed back to normal and fell on his face, knocked out, but he held tight to the half heart. "I promise..." He said before he passed out.
Goku stood there. Unable to move. It looks like Vegeta and Piccolo where standing behind him, suprised as well. This scene looked familiar. When Goku trained with Gohan in the hyperbolic time chamber many years ago. But Gohan never surpassed this, even now he can't.
"...What..just happened Kakarott?" Vegeta said, gaping.
Goku didn't answer, but Piccolo joined, "You showed Goten those flashbacks of the past, didn't you?" He still didn't answer. Piccolo slightly shaked his head. "Goten is very strong, he doesn't need to show it through anger like Gohan, in fact, Goten can do it either way, Gohan gets strong ONLY if he's angry." He stated.
Goku shivered, and walked over to his fallen son, and knelt down next to him, and held him in his strong arms, and craddled him. "Piccolo, Vegeta, go home, I'll take care of Goten." He finally said.
Vegeta grunted but nodded and flew back home, Piccolo flying back to the Lookout.
Goku flew home, Goten secure in his arms. He kept staring down at him. 'What...what was that form buddy? Whatever it was-' He thought to himself, then whispered to his son's ear, "I'm proud of you."
Goku touched now in front of the dome shaped house. Chichi looked through the window and saw Goten passed out. "Ahhh!" She shouted, jumping out the window and running towards her husband and child. "Goku! Explain to me what happened?!" She demanded.
Goku had his poker face on, and looked startled at seeing Chichi angry.
"Uhh-um it's nothing Chi! Goten just felt tired and said he wanted to sleep so I took him back here!" He said, trying to make up a lie.
Chichi sighed softly then smiled, "As long as my baby is all right. Go take him to his room."
He nodded and flew up to his son's window, opened it and went inside and ser the young one on his bed, and covered him with a blanket. He ran his hand through the child's big jet-black spiky hair, much similar to his. 'Your hair is getting too big, isn't it little buddy?' He said thoughtfully, chuckling.
Goku turned around walked out of Goten's room, and closed the door quietly. Gohan was right beside Goku, which took Goku by suprise.
"I sensed what happened to Goten out there. What kind of Super Saiyan was that? Red hair and green eyes? That's kind of different." Said Gohan.
"I don't know son. But all I know is that, that form is stronger than a Super Saiyan 2, but not stronger than a level 3." Goku said slowly.
"So...is like me in Mystic form?"
"Not exactly Gohan, but let's see him do it in the future." Gohan nodded, and both father son walked downstairs to eat, and then soon both go out to train with Vegeta.
Chichi resumed doing her chores and checking on Goten once in a while.
It was about 8pm, Goku and Gohan came home, and Chichi was making dinner for the all 4 of them. Goten was awakened by the smell of the delicious food. The chibi jumped out of his bed, slipped over his blanket, then got up and ran out of his room and ran downstairs. He was sliding down the stairs on the handle, and once he jumped, he landed onto Gohan's arms.
"Hello big brother!" He squealed, snuggling against his brother's face.
"Good evening little bro" Welcoming him back with a hug.
"Ahh my baby! You're finally awake!" Chichi cheered.
Goten jumped off his brother, and looked at his mother. "Ugh, yeah, but how long did I sleep? How come?" He made his confused face.
Goku looked down and grabbed his son in his arms. "You were just exhausted from training, that's it son." He smiled.
"But..daddy..I felt something, energy come out of me!" His little arms in the air.
They all looked puzzeled, but Goku still craddled him. "It's alright son, no need to worry."
Goten nodded and all sons sat down and began eating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the Outlands~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on Uru! Kick harder! I know you can do it!" Yelled Jabari, as he dodged his daughters fast kicks. She became stronger than ever. But yet not stronger than her daddy.
"I'm trying daddy!" She sent a fast punch towards her dad.
"That's not good enough girl!" He sent an energy blast at his saiyan daughter.
She squealed in pain, the blast stinging her all over. "Eeee! Ow dad! Please stop! You're...hurting...me!" She cried out.
"You need to learn how to get used to this daughter!" He screamed, throwing more energy to the stining blast.
Uru growled more and more, her saiyan blood is keeping her strong and alive.
'I wish mommy was here! She used to make everything right.' She thought, as small tears welled up in her eyes. But just then, a flash of saiyan bursted out of her. A strong energy appeared within her, she let out a scream, her scream blast all the rocks far away, she broke free out of her father's blast, taken Jabari by suprise.
She let out tons of ki blasts at her father, who was trying to dodge every single one, exept for one, which got him at the side of his face.
He grunted in pain and opened his one eye, looking at Uru.
"Agh! Uru! Calm yourself, settle down!"
Uru's power kept rising and rising, but she was nowhere near Super Saiyan yet. Her hair changed color this time, but this color remained with her forever. Her hair changed purple and blue mixed, and her bright blue eyes changed slightly into darker blue eyes.
She stopped powering up, and lost the ability to stand up straight, then she collapsed and was knocked out because of being tired. 'Mommy..' She whispered quietly.
A sunlight came upon Uru, an angel put a hand by her back and whispered the child, "Sleep my little baby, everything is going to be okay, trust me."
The Sons finished eating. The 3 boys went to the living room, while Chichi was doing the dishes.
..."So Goten, how did you feel like out there?" Asked his older brother, who was holding Goten in his arms.
"I-I felt..untouchable. Stronger than a Super Saiyan even!" He said with his puppy eyes.
"Hm, that's great little bro! Would you like to show me and dad again?"
The child's face sadden. "I don't know big brother. It took me alot of energy, and I don't know if I'll ever show that again." He looked down.
"Aw Goten, you're the strongest one here. Never say that you aren't strong. Everyone believes you have the power in you that can destroy the evil." Goku joined in, tilting his son's head up softly.
Goten giggled, "Thanks daddy! Maybe tomorrow I can show you guys?"
Both men nodded.
Goku thought for a moment. He wanted to tell his son, what henhad told Gohan when he was about Goten's age years ago. He got up. "Goten, come with me outside." He gave Gohan the look that he was going to tell him.
Gohan let go of his brother, and Goten ran after Goku. "Okay daddy."
The tall warrior held his son in his arms, as they walked through the clean, beautiful forest at night. Goku took him back to the medow.
"We're here again! Wow! Daddy look at the stars! They're very pretty!" Chirped the boy.
Goku smiled and nodded. "Goten, sit down over there." He pointed near the grass and water. Goten walked over and sat down on the grass.
"What did you want talk about dad?" He looked up. Goku sat beside his young one, and picked his son up and sat him on his lap.
"Goten, remember what happened two years ago with that girl?"
Goten looked suprised by Goku asking he question. "Yes, why what's wrong?"
~He lives in you, he lives in me (hela hey mamela)
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you~
Goten sighed and looked down in the water. Goku looked down to hsi young. "I'm proud of you for saving her life son."
Goten looked up with a happy face, but then saddened. "Yeah, and then you got mad and almost hit her?" The child looked at his reflection in the water.
"You have to understand, she is the daughter of a murder.."
"I understand daddy..But I could have been best friends with her..I mean look at her dad! He was like mad.." Goten said slowly.
~Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers,
Oh, oh, iyo, iyo, mamela oh, oh iyo
Hear these words, and have faith,
Wait! There's no mountain too great,
Oh, oh iyo~
Goku closed his eyes, and looked away. "Yes, you could have been friends, but being friends with someone who has a maniac father isn't a good thing, especially if the father hates his daughter's friend's father. That could have led to many more tragedy. I only did that for your best Goten. I don't want to loose you, or let anyone hurt you."
Goten half-smiled. "You really mean that daddy?"
"Yes son, don't take it like I don't want you to have friends. I hope you understand, I always watch over you...I'm a part of you, my son."
~ He lives in you, He lives in me
He watches over everything we see,
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, He lives in you ~
Goku's words let a wide smile across the boy's face. Looking at his reflection, he loved looking and being like his daddy. 'Part of me.' He said to himself.
Goten leaped onto his father's chest and snuggled against him. "Thank you daddy. Thank you for saving and loving me."
Goku chuckled softly. "Daddy?" Goten said, jumping off his father, then jumped onto his father's back.
"Hehe..yes?" He answered back, sitting criss cross.
"We're buddies, right?"
"hmhm, right."
"And we will always be together, forever, right?" Chibi said, with his wide cute smile.
Goku took in a deep breath. He's now gonna tell his son, yes now is the good time.
Goku sat up straight, making Goten hold on tighter to his back.
"Goten..let me tell you something, that my grandfather told me.." He started, Goten looking, amused, and confused.
"Look at the stars.." Both Sons looked up, "All the good people, and good warriors look down at us, everyone from those stars..."
Goten gasped. "Wha...really?" Looking down at his father.
"Yes.." He said. "So..all the saiyans, and Bardock, and everyone else look down at us from those stars too?"
"Yes." Goku repeated. "And so son, when my time comes and when I die, I'll be in the stars, looking down, watching over you, your brother and your mother."
Goten smiled. "So, if this happened to Gohan, would he do the same?"
"Yes Goten. You and your brother share a strong bond, which will never be seperated. No matter what."
Goku's strong words help sooth Goten, and make him smile more. "Wow." Is all,the chibi could say. "I love you, daddy."
"I love you too Goten," Both Sons kept staring up at the beautiful stars in the skys, lighting up so beautifully.
