Holy crap. I shouldn't be saying this but... this chapter was stressful. I had to write it. I wasn't looking forward to it. But it's finished. I like having fun while writing, but this chapter was like a huge summary, and it just took it all out of me.
But enough of my complaining. On with chapter 6!
"What would that be Goku-dono?"
Goku, Lala, the Yuuki siblings and Zastin were all seated in the living room of the Yuuki house. Goku seated on a recliner while Rito and Mikan took one couch and Lala and Zastin on the other.
They had just returned from their mock battle to see Sainan in an uproar. Woman and children were screaming while the police force was trying to calm the people with little success. Goku's group was lucky to have finished their battle early, cause the moment they had left, troopers were sent to investigate what looked like a thermonuclear bomb going off. Of course the army would be called, considering that Goku's fight with Zastin's assistants was dubbed a 'terrorist attack', then his latest battle would only be considered a declaration of war.
And as usual, Goku just laughed it off and claimed how lucky everyone was; not explaining why to Rito and Mikan. When they had returned home, the siblings had gotten a call from both their parents asking if they were okay. Their response was that they were and a friend was looking after them.
Over the two years Goku had stayed with them, not once had he meet the parents. He was even sure that they didn't know about him living in their house. But he just shrugged it off believing that he'd meet them soon.
"What? Oh do you mean the senzu bean?" Goku asked seeing as Zastin was eyeing the green bean in his hand. "This bean has high rejuvenating abilities. I was going to use it to recuperate."
"I see. Do you mind if I send a couple to Gid-sama too test?" Zastin was hoping that the bean was related to Goku's past, and if it was then the Gid would want to see one.
"Of course! I seriously can't give enough away." Goku chuckled pulling some out of the bag and handing it to the knight before eating his own.
Zastin and Lala watched inquisitively as Goku's minor scratches healed over and an almost unreadable small power boost originated from Goku.
"Man I feel great. The zenkai boost is still in effect but it rarely does anything nowadays." Goku said to himself getting a curious look from everyone including the devilukians.
"Goku-dono if you don't mind, but what is a zenkai boost?" Zastin questioned before looking to the coffee table to see that the recording device he set was working.
"I don't mind. It has something to do with saiyans anyways." The boy assured him. "Whenever a saiyan recovers from an injury or mainly a near death experience, we gain a zenkai boost."
Goku then held out his hand and channels Ki into it. Seconds later a small yellow ball the size of a marble was formed in his palm. The humans looked curious at the sight while the aliens just looked at it as if it was an everyday thing. Which it was to most aliens.
"Take this ball of Ki for example…" Goku gestured his free hand to the ball. "It will represent original strength."
Goku then add more Ki into the ball increasing its size so it fit perfectly in his palm. "This is strength after training a couple years for almost anyone."
"That is a big increase in power Goku-dono." Zastin commented taking note of the size difference between the before and after. Of course Zastin would already know the advantages of training, but the humans looked in awe at the increase, so he wanted to make it sound like it wasn't seen everyday.
"It is, but this is a saiyan's rate of increase after a near death experience." After he said that, Goku began pouring more power into it. The Ki ball began to grow twice the size as before and continued at that rate, until Goku had to hold it down closer to the ground to avoid hitting the ceiling. "This is the zenkai boost."
"..." The group was left stunned by the size of the ball of Ki and what it meant. If someone beat Goku to near death, he would only recover and be unstoppable. Literally what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
"That is impressive Goku-dono but earlier you said that it rarely affects you now." Zastin pointed out, being the only one asking the questions.
"Yeah it's only like… one one millionth now or something…" Goku dispersed the Ki ball and scratched his chin. "Somewhere around there."
"So nothing happens now." Mikan caught on pretty quickly, being the sibling with the brains.
"Yeah, from all the battles I had in the past it's no surprise that it has no effect anymore." The saiyan said without thought.
"Goku-san when we meet, you were fourteen. When did you have these battles?" Rito asked taking a sip from his cup; Goku didn't know where he got it but made no move to say anything.
"Ya this is where things get difficult… and it might change your image of me…" Goku started rubbing the back of his head in nervousness, while the other occupants of the room were confused as to how their image of him could change. "...I'm older then I look."
That was… anticlimactic. They were expecting something more… dark. Like he had to take someone's life dark.
"How old are you Goku-kun?" It was Lala that asked this time while Rito just took a long noisy sip of his drink.
"I'm somewhere in my fifties I think…" Rito spit out his drink getting a glare from his sister.
"*Cough* *Cough* Goku-san… you're… fifty?!" Rito coughed out the remainder of his drink.
"I think… I died a couple times and I didn't age during that time."
"YOU DIED!" This time Mikan joined in with her brother while Lala and Zastin stared in complete shock.
"If you died then… how are you alive?" Rito interrogated the saiyan.
"I was wished back." Those simple words were enough to get a look of realization from the Yuuki' and one of confusion from Lala and Zastin.
"You used the dragon balls!" Mikan exclaimed Lala looking at her in wonder.
"What are dragon balls Goku-kun?" Lala asked innocently while Rito shivered. He still thought it was a weird name for mystical wish granting balls. Well… almost.
"The dragon balls are seven mystical balls that once gathered together can call upon the dragon Shenron." Lala nodded her head while Goku explained the most valuable objects in his universe. "Once Shenron is called upon, he can then grant any wish. Which is how I was brought back to life."
"I never knew such a thing existed…" Zastin mumbled while thinking about obtaining them for the Devilukian Empire.
"They don't in this universe… as far as I know." Goku told the knight getting a weird look from the aliens.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm not from this universe." The 'boy' said with a straight face. "I had used the dragon balls to travel to this universe as per requested."
"Why were you asked to come to our universe?"
"... My wife Chi-Chi had asked me too start anew. It was her last request from her deathbed." Goku's voice was laced with sorrow.
"Y-you were married?" Mikan didn't know if she had heard that right.
"I was… Lala I'm sorry that I kept this information from you…" Goku turned his attention to the pink haired girl who just looked at him blankly. "If you don't want to get married that's fine, but you can stay here if you want."
"...Goku-kun you said she requested you. What was the full request?" Lala asked still looking impassively at the saiyan.
"Well… Chi-Chi said since I was reverted back into a teen that I should start a new life." He thought back to what was told to him. "Find new challenges was one that she told me to do… the other was if I fell in love again then it was okay to remarry."
"..." Lala kept her gaze down while her hair covered her eyes. The silence unnerved the others in the room, none so much as Goku.
"La… Lala are you okay?" Goku asked a bit nervous of her response.
"..."
"Lala, hey is everythi-"
"Goku-kun!" Lala lunged at Goku promptly cutting him off, arms strung around his neck. Goku was surprised by the joy in her voice as the girl settled down in his lap.
"W-what?"
"This means that we can get married now!" Lala cheerfully told the saiyan who looked at her, mouth agape.
"Aren't you upset about any of that?" He asked making sure that the girl was being honest with herself.
"Nope! I love Goku-kun, and you were given permission to marry me. That's all that matters!"
"I… uh wai… what?!" Goku asked after finding the words.
"Well… when we first meet you proposed to me." Lala smiled up to the saiyan. "And with Chi-Chi's permission we can now get married!"
"When we first meet… Oh! You mean when I was taking a bath?!" The girl nodded when Goku remembered their first encounter. "But… I just left to ask Mikan if you were a friend that was staying over."
"Muu!" Lala started to pout from Goku's ignorance. "Stupid Goku-kun! How could you forget!?"
"Lala-sama." Zastin called getting her attention. "Earth customs are different than that on Planet Deviluke."
"What does Zastin mean?" Goku asked the girl.
"Goku-dono, did you happen to grab Lala-sama when you first meet?" This time it was Peke who asked the question.
"Did I grab Lala?" The saiyan looked up in thought. The first thing he did when Lala appeared was stick out his hand… and… oh. "Yeah… I did."
"What do you mean Goku-kun grabbed Lala-chan?" Mikan had her suspicions but was hoping that they were not true.
"It was nothing Mikan."
"Goku-kun grabbed my breast!"
Goku's comment was tuned out by Lala's, who somehow made what she said seem innocent. The reaction was almost instant. Mikan had a furious glare directed towards Goku while Rito seemed to be imagining himself in his place, but with Haruna. Zastin just nodded with his eyes closed along with Peke who attempted to nod, but being a hat made that difficult.
"GOKU!" Mikan roared scaring the saiyan back in his seat.
"M-Mikan… i-it was an… accident!" Goku defended himself.
"I don't care! Pervert! Apologies to Lala-chan now!" The furious girl ordered the boy.
"Right! Lala I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay! Grabbing a woman's chest on Deviluke is a marriage proposal." Lala assured him, chuckling at how he interacted with the younger girl.
"Really?" Mikan incredulously asked. "And who decided on that?"
"Daddy did."
'The ruler of the galaxy is just a huge pervert." The younger girl thought with a twitching brow.
"Hehehe… sounds like him and Master Roshi would get along." The saiyan chuckled.
"W-we should get back on track." Surprisingly it was Rito who had decided to change the topic. Maybe it had something to do with his face being beat red.
"He is right Goku-dono. You should start from the beginning."
"Alright…" Goku leaned back in the recliner while making some room for Lala, who refused to leave his side. "I said I was from a Planet Vegeta right?"
"Ya… and you said that it was destroyed by an asteroid or something, that's why you were sent to Earth." Rito answered while filling in the devilukians about the destruction of the planet.
"Okay so I should start by saying that I lied… again." He admitted getting a sigh from the sibling. Goku's honest nature just seemed to also be a lie up until now as well. "Planet Vegeta wasn't destroyed by an asteroid but by the emperor of my universe. Frieza."
"Destroyed by another emperor…" Zastin mumbled to himself. "Why did he destroy your planet?"
"He was terrified of the saiyans. We as a species were not as strong back in the day but there was a legend that scared the tyrant; the legend of the Super Saiyan." Goku truthfully told them.
"He would kill an entire species just because of a legend?" Rito did well to hide the fear in his voice. "That guy is crazy!"
"He was more like insane. His empire was a planet trade organization, he would send out his army to kill off all the dominating species on a planet before selling it." Goku said with obvious disapproval. "Frieza would have adult saiyans sent to planets with stronger fighters while children and babies were sent to weaker ones."
"So that would mean…" Mikan couldn't finish but Goku understood what she was thinking.
"It's true… I was sent to Earth, my mission being the extermination of the human race." The two humans present looked at Goku not believing someone so peaceful would actually do such a thing.
"Yo… you didn't right?" Rito thought back to Goku's Kamehameha and how it could've been used in the saiyan's goal.
"No I didn't. When I was found by my Grandfather Gohan, I was a violent child. That was until the day Grandpa had dropped me, I ended up hitting my head on a rock completely destroying my saiyan 'programming'." The saiyan said with a nostalgic smile when he thought of his grandfather.
'So… he was dropped on his head as a child. I thought something like that could've happened.' Rito internally said.
"How many saiyans survived the planet's destruction?" The knight wondered how many others there were aside from Goku.
"The only surviving saiyans were the ones off planet at the time." One of the off planet saiyans said. "Now I'm gonna skip ahead to the more important stuff that happened later on. I didn't know anything about the saiyan's until the day when one of them came to Earth."
"During this time I was reuniting with my best friend Krillin, Master Roshi, and good friend Bulma. We had meetup at Kame House where I introduced my friends to my son Gohan."
"You have a son?" Lala asked listening with great interest to Goku's life story.
"Ya I do. He was a half saiyan because his mother Chi-Chi was a human." Goku told her with a smile. "Now where was I… oh right. So I was introducing my son to my friends when a huge power level approached the island. It was a saiyan named Raditz, who was also my brother."
"You have a brother?" Mikan questioned looking generally surprised that Goku had siblings.
"Yeah… but I'd rather not be associated to him." Goku said lowly. "When Raditz had appeared he made me an offer to join him and two other saiyans under Frieza's rule."
"Wait why would the saiyans still work for Frieza?" Rito asked.
"Because they were probably scared of him, seriously Rito." Mikan deadpanned.
"His offer was that I kill a hundred Earthlings in exchange for my son." The siblings stopped their petty argument when they heard the offer.
"He took Gohan?" Lala questioned already not liking this Raditz person.
"Ya. Obviously I didn't go through with it. Instead we were thinking up a way to fight him." Goku explained to the group. "That was then Piccolo appeared. He was an enemy at the time but now we're friends. Our plan then was for us to combine our power to defeat Raditz."
"And? Did you?" Lala could be described on the edge of her seat, or Goku's lap in anticipation.
"We did thanks to Piccolo's new technique, but to be able to hit Raditz I had to hold him still." Goku said monotone, choosing to not show any emotion for his brother. "When the attack hit, it pierced through Raditz and myself. Killing us both."
"That is still something I can't get use too you hearing." Mikan shuddered when the saiyan mentioned his death again.
"Dying is not that bad. Once you die you go to Other World." The saiyan was meet with no response when he mentioned where someone goes after they die.
"Are you saying…" Mikan began in a deadpanned tone of voice.
"That heaven is real." Rito finished, sounding just like his sister.
"Well… yeah, it's real." Goku felt as if they didn't believe him. "I was allowed to keep my body after I died so I got a halo above my head."
"... Goku what did we say about lying." Mikan sighed when it seemed that the saiyan was telling a tall tail. Like he actually went to heaven, she believed in it… but it couldn't be possible… right? Mikan wasn't sure if she should believe what the boy was saying anymore. Let alone her beliefs.
"I'm not lying Mikan. When someone dies they go to Other World or Hell." Goku sounded generally serious.
"..."
Well the afterlife existed. Goku had apparently experienced it. The people in the room didn't know what too think about the latest development. It is confirmed when they die they go to heaven of hell.
"...So after I died I was informed that two more saiyans, Prince Vegeta and Nappa were on their way to Earth for the dragon balls." Goku continued on as if he didn't just tell them that heaven and hell existed.
"Did they want to wish back their comrade?" Zastin inquired.
"No, that wasn't even their last priority. They wanted to be granted eternal life." Goku leaned back further into his chair when he thought back to those days. "When I heard the Earth was in danger, I was told of a man named King Kai. I decided to ask him for training, so my goal was to make it to King Kai's planet."
"When I got there-"
"Wa… wait Goku-san. Why did you head for this King Kai? Why not get wished back." Rito actually asked a very good question.
"The saiyans wouldn't reach Earth until a year later, so I asked not to be wished back for a year so I could train." Goku told the boy getting a nod of understanding.
"When I got to where King Kai lived, I asked him to train me. Which he agreed to after a little while. It was also King Kai who taught me the Kaio-ken." He shed some light on how he learned the technique and how it works to the group as well.
"So… anyone can learn stuff like this?" Rito asked, taking an honest curiosity to Ki and Martial arts.
"That's right. Ki is the life energy in every living thing, so anyone can learn how to control it. Zastin's sword attack was a Ki blast as well." Goku said getting a nod from the knight.
"Back to my story… so a year later I was wished back with the dragon balls, making them unusable for the next year." Goku looked towards his friends to see them leaning closer in. "When I was brought back, the saiyans had killed my friends not including Krillin and Gohan. After getting there I engaged in battle with the saiyans. I was then able to defeat Nappa who was then killed by Vegeta."
"He killed his own comrade!" Mikan was disgusted that someone would do that to their own.
"He did but Vegeta has changed over the years."
"Wait he's alive!?" It was Rito this time to be shocked. If he had a drink he would most likely be doing a spit take again.
"He is… so after I defeated Nappa I then battled Vegeta. At the end we were both badly wounded… so I let him escape." Goku said.
"Aw~ Goku-kun is so~ nice!" Lala hugged the saiyan while rubbing her cheek on his.
'She really is like a child…" Goku thought while he rubbed her back.
"I believe that you had a better reason than showing mercy." Zastin commented.
"I knew that Vegeta would change from the experience." Was all the saiyan said in a reply.
"After the Earth was saved from the saiyan attack, we were faced with another problem. Our friends that had died during the fight needed to be brought back, and seeing that there was some complications, we had to find another way." Goku explained to them.
"What were these complications Goku-dono?"
"The dragon balls became inert with Piccolo's death and even then, after someone was wished back once they can't be wished back again." Goku let the information sink in, each one of them seeming to understand what he meant.
"So what did you do Goku-kun?" The princess asked.
"Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma decided to head to Namek, home of the namekians, to use the namekian dragon balls." Goku told the group. "I was hospitalized at the time so I couldn't join them."
"So you wished your friends back with the other set?" Rito asked causing Goku to look down, thinking to himself.
"... Not exactly. You see, while Krillin's group were searching for the dragon balls, there was also someone else."
"Who!? Goku-kun who was it!?" Lala was bouncing again in his lap causing Goku some uncomfort, but was promptly subdued when he calmed Lala down.
"I'll make you guys work for it! This person slaughtered innocent namekians and conquered numerous planets." Goku smiled to them hoping to see if they caught on. Only two people did, Lala and surprisingly Rito.
"I-it was him… wasn't it." Rito questioned somewhat reluctant.
"Very good Rito…" Goku then looked down to see a pout on the alien girl's face. "And you too Lala. The leader of the Planet Trade Organisation, Frieza was also in search of the dragon balls."
Mikan and Zastin's eyes widened in shock that the man who destroyed Goku's planet was there.
"Goku-dono you said that he destroyed your planet. But how did Frieza accomplish it?"
"Frieza did it with literally only having to lift one finger." The saiyan said while lifting his pointer finger for reference. "Luckily Vegeta had rebelled against Frieza and started searching for the dragon balls himself. That had cut off Frieza's last remaining hold on the saiyans."
"Good for Vegeta." Rito smiled hearing that Goku was right about Vegeta's change in heart.
"When I arrived, things were not looking good; Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta were close to being defeated by Frieza's elite force. I had managed to turn the tides but was seriously injured as a result. They then put me in a special recovery chamber until I was ready to fight again."
"While this was happening, Krillin and co. gathered the rest of the dragon balls and summoned Porunga, the namekian dragon. They then wished Piccolo back to life, which also restored the Earth's dragon balls."
"After Piccolo's revival he engaged Frieza in combat, fighting him on even ground. However to the horror of the fighters, Frieza was only in his first form; he had three more, each one stronger than the last. Frieza had then transformed, easily defeating the group. He then told Vegeta the truth behind the saiyan planet's destruction."
"Someone that strong really exists in your universe…" Rito was terrified of the being known as Frieza. He hoped someone like him did not exist in this universe.
"Goku-kun you kicked his ass right! Please tell me you beat him!" Lala was begging him. She hated the alien for hurting Goku's race.
"After the truth was told to him, Frieza had then killed the saiyan prince. This left only him and me. Even after having a huge zenkai boost I was still to weak, Frieza was only using fifty percent of his power. All he did was toy with me!"
'Fifty percent!' Was the collective thought of most in the room.
"Frieza then did something that pushed me over the edge. He killed Krillin, my best friend, just effortlessly blew him up. That is when I had became the thing Frieza feared the most."
"What Frieza feared… the most?" Mikan had asked herself while thinking back to what Goku had said about Frieza. The reason he was scared of the saiyans was because of a… legend.
"Goku-kun are you…?"
"So you're the super saiyan." Zastin finished for the girl.
"Yes I am. With the transformation I was able to beat Frieza around, angering the tyrant, causing him to destroy the planet, but not before being cleaved in half. I had survived by using one of Frieza's ships but the tyrant had somehow survived the planet's destruction and made his way to Earth with his father King Cold. They were eventually defeated by a young man named Trunks."
"It turned out that Trunks was a half saiyan, like Gohan, that traveled back in time to warn us of an impending threat; the androids. He said that the androids would kill everyone and nobody would be able to stop them because I would be dead from a heart virus at the time. Trunks had come to give me an antidote, that was not yet created in my timeline. He then left after revealing that he was Bulma and Vegeta's future son. Kid Trunks was born a year later.
"Then what? What happened?" Rito asked, interested on how the rest on the story went.
"The androids arrive the day Trunks had said; 17 and 18. They were brother and sister androids. Like Trunks had said, I got the heart virus and bed ridden. While I was like this, 17 and 18 caused havoc across the Earth, defeating everyone including Vegeta. They then left only for a new threat to appear; Cell. He was created by a mad scientist who had a grudge against me. Cell was a combination of cells from all my friends and foes bio-mechanically engineered to form the being. Cell absorbed 17, gaining his semi-perfect form in which he searched for 18 in order to become perfect."
'This guy sounds… weird.' Mikan and Rito thought together.
"Cell was able to achieve his perfect form from Vegeta, who let his pride get in his way and handed over 18. Perfect Cell outmatched both Vegeta and Future Trunks. After humiliating them, he then announced the Cell Games, which would take place in ten days. If in ten days, nobody was able to beat him, he would then destroy the Earth. Thanks to the antidote Trunks gave me, I was healed. I then brought Gohan to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train for one day, which is equal to one year in the chamber."
'A chamber that can cause time dilation…' Lala was excited with the new ideas she was getting, some that might even please Goku.
"When we exited the chamber, I was a match for cell. I was actually more than a match for Cell, but there was something that needed to be done. I backed out of the fight and tagged in Gohan-"
"You let your son fight the monster!?" Rito was shocked another time that day when Goku had just said he let his son fight Cell.
"It was something that needed to be done. I knew I wouldn't always be around, so Gohan had to learn not to rely on me."
"So did Gohan stop Cell?" The knight asked.
"No. Cell was being pushed back and decided to self destruct and take the Earth with it. I managed to stop him by taking him to another planet, were he detonated."
"So you died again…" Mikan said low toned.
"I did but that wasn't the end of it. Cell was able to regenerate himself and continued the Cell Games. Gohan was the last hope. The two had a clash of beam, while it seemed Gohan was losing, he had a burst of energy and completely destroyed Cell."
"Although it doesn't sound right to send a child to fight… it's good to hear that Gohan came out the winner." The young brunette smiled.
"For the next seven years I remained dead… until I was granted a pass to go and participate in a martial arts tournament. But evil reared its head on Earth again in the form of a magical being known as Majin Buu. 5 million years, there were five Supreme Kais, the gods of my universe, they were four powerful Supreme Kais led by the Grand Supreme Kai. Each Supreme Kai was responsible for a part of the universe, and the Grand Supreme Kai was responsible for the entire universe. To put their strength on a scale, each Supreme Kai had the power to kill Frieza with just a finger…"
Goku allowed that bit of information to sink in, as they all were again told something mind boggling.
"And so… what happened next?" Rito was taking a real interest into this story. Goku could only wonder why he was so enveloped into the story aside from knowing more about him.
"Four of those Kais were killed by Majin Buu. He then went on to destroy several galaxies." That got the expected result. Their eyes widened at the strength this demon had, to allow it to kill four gods. There thoughts had all been lead to the same question at the end. How did Goku and his Earth survive?
"Buu didn't appear to be dangerous at first. He was hopping around and acting like a child, but when he was mad, that was when his power showed. He killed innocents and my friends, Vegeta sacrificed himself by blowing up in Buu's face, but he only regenerated."
"I had to confront Buu and distract him from destroying the Earth so I unleashed my full power. By doing that, I shortened my time left on Earth. I was completely able to defeat him by this point but I didn't. Trunks, and Goten; my second son, were to become Earth's guardians. I let Buu live."
"Coincidentally, Buu started to live a normal life, until a second Buu appeared. He was known as evil Buu, he thrashed around the now good Buu and merged with him, creating Super Buu."
"Super Buu was unstoppable. Truly a force of nature. After some persuasion from Piccolo, Super Buu decided to wait for the promised warrior to arrive. The warrior was Gotenks, a fusion of Goten and Trunks. Gotenks was capable of killing Buu, but the fusion had worn off leaving Goten and Trunks to Buu's mercy."
"The two along with Piccolo decided on a final stand and face off against Buu. But Gohan had arrived with his awakened power. With Gohan's new unleashed potential, he was able to push Buu into a corner. Gotenks had at this point rejoined the fight along with Piccolo. Buu had absorbed the two into himself, outmatching Gohan and absorbing him as well."
"I was given life again by Old Kai, allowing me to head back to Earth and challenge Buu. He had left me with a pair of earrings known as Potara Earrings. It allowed the wearers to permanently fuse together, granting the new being immeasurable power. My previous intention was to fuse with Gohan, but he had already been absorbed by Buu. It all seemed like a losing battle until a familiar Ki appeared."
"It was Vegeta! I know it!" Lala called out getting a laugh from Goku.
"It was Vegeta who, with a pass given to him for his sacrifice, was allowed back to Earth. We used the earrings and fused into a being known as Vegito. He completely toyed with the demon, making a fool out of him. Vegito had given Buu a 10 second chance to give up and live. At the end of 10 seconds Buu absorbed Vegito. However the fused warrior created a shield to protect himself from being completely absorbed."
"Once inside Buu, Vegito had separated back into Vegeta and myself. Inside we were able to release everyone that Buu had absorbed, including the good Buu. That however started a reaction that changed Buu once more. Super Buu had transformed into the insane and irrational, Kid Buu."
"The first thing Kid Buu did was destroy the Earth. Vegeta, Mr. Satan, Dende and myself had escaped with the help of Supreme Kai, who brought us to his world. Buu searched throughout the galaxy, destroying everything until he found us. He then found us leaving me with the only option to confront him. We were even for a short while, but my energy was slowly draining and making me too weak to fight. Vegeta quickly stepped in but was outmatched in every way. Before he could finish him, Mr. Satan stepped in. Kid Buu then spat out the good Buu, cause of Mr. Satan's kindness."
"While the good Buu and Kid Buu fought, Dende used the namekian dragon balls to wish back the Earth along with all the inhabitants. With the energy gathered from the people, I had created the Spirit Bomb. The Spirit Bomb is a last resort move against evil, where all the energy of living things are gathered into a compressed sphere. Only beings of pure heart can create the Spirit Bomb."
"I threw the ball at Buu who desperately attempted to push it back, but with my power restored thanks to the namekian dragon balls, I was able to destroy Buu for good."
"Yaaaaaayyy!" Lala cheered while hugging the saiyan. Goku kept his mouth shut after that, deciding to leave out his later confrontations with Lord Beerus and the Shadow Dragons. He didn't need to tell them about that. With the information he gathered, Gid is not the God of Destruction. If no one had even heard the title than that means he must be hidden somewhere. As long as he doesn't make his presence known, there is no need to tell anyone about it.
"That is an interesting tale Goku-dono. So you used the dragon balls to get to our universe, correct?" Zastin clarified, getting a nod from Goku. "Then why do you appear to be 16?"
"That was an accidental wish that made me a kid again."
"I see…" Zastin hummed before reaching to the recorder while standing, moving towards the door. "I must leave and report this to Gid-sama, depending on what Gid-sama asks, I request that you be ready Goku-dono."
The group watched Zastin disappeared out the door before an awkward silence filled the room. Goku was slightly nervous of what their response to Goku's history will be.
"If your story is over now Goku-kun, I'll start making us something to eat." Mikan stood and made her way to the kitchen.
"Wait… so you guys aren't afraid of the stuff I faced, and what I'm capable of?" Goku asked somewhat surprised.
"Why would we be?" Lala asked confused by the question. "Goku-kun is Goku-kun. That's all that matters to me!"
"Lala-san is right. None of this will change the way we think of you." Rito said leaning back in his seat.
"That's right Goku-kun. Now be patient. Lunch won't be ready for an hour." Mikan retreated into the kitchen to make the large meal.
Goku just smile at the three of them while thinking about how lucky he was to have meet all of them. He was happy that he got this second chance. He did miss Chi-Chi and everyone else, but he is making a new family here, and all he has to do is protect those close to him.
'Nothing has really changed… has it.'
There it is, it's done. This chapter is finally out of the way. Now if people are wondering why I didn't discuss the Dragon Ball GT story along with the battle of gods is for multiple reasons. 1 being is because I chose not to. The other would be that Goku would have said he was a God, and I don't plan to reveal that until later on in the story.
The poll for if this story will become a harem is up on my profile. I think I can ride the line of not a harem and a harem for a little while longer until the final decision is made. I have an idea for how both choices will play out so it's not really that difficult to write... at least I hope.
Now since we live in the year 2016, I feel I must say this... I believe in many ways that heaven is real. I am a catholic. I do not want to risk pissing people off cause I made Rito and Mikan say that Goku going to heaven and the very idea of its existence is another lie; even when they believe in it. It was just how they reacted. I just had to say this as a precaution. So everything is good.
I also want to officially say that the entire story for To Fulfill A Promise has a complete guideline. That's right. From start to finish I know what I am going to be writing for the non cannon part of this story, the cannon part I only know slightly how that is going to go down. So I'm going to re-read To Love-Ru and Darkness to figure that out. Again... all the main antagonist have been planned out along with their abilities, power levels, etc. Everything from hear on out is already thought up and if I change something from my already planned story, that only means something better came to mind.
Until chapter 7
