Chapter 22
Emotions
Two beacons of light stood in front of an entity that was emitting negative energy. Kaiser was screaming at the top of his lungs as dark energy engulfed him. His parents looked at him with concerned faces as they saw their son turn…evil.
With a final yell, the black colored energy around the young Saiyan had become stable. He closed his eyes and raised his head. He opened his eyes and the look in his eyes showed two different things; Hate and Death. His pupils were now red and the sclera that once used to be white was now black. His black flurry tail was wrapped around his waist and his skin had turned into a more tanned color. His hair color did not change but it was spikier now. He looked at his parents with a maniacal grin and then he burst into maniacal laughter. The two dead Saiyans watched in horror at their son's behavior.
"What do we have here? Two low class Saiyans who this idiot considers his parents. Pathetic." Kaiser spoke coldly as he ceased his laughing fit.
"Kaisy, what are you talking about? It's me, your mother." Lila spoke softly.
"My mother? I don't have a mother you fool. I am not your Kaisy." He replied hatefully making Lila take a step back.
"What do you mean? Who are you?" Bardock growled.
"You want to know who I am? Let me tell you what I am. I am the negative energy that has been building up inside Kaiser. I am the mental pain that had developed inside of him. All the times he looked happy were all lies. No one knew how he really felt. I was formed out of that pain and torment. I was a voice inside his head and he often debated with me about what to do. Unfortunately for me, there was no trigger. There was no trigger for him to let go all of his pain until now that is. Another bad thing for me was that he was filled with positive energy and all that positive energy was able to keep me at bay but after hearing about his real father; his positive energy took a huge dive and it gave me a huge power up." He paused as he looked at the two older Saiyans. He smirked at their expression of disbelief. "And because of that, I am here." He concluded.
"Where's my s-son." Lila spoke uneasily.
"Your son is gone. He'll never come back."
"YOU LIAR! My son is still there. I can sense him." She growled.
"Damn it woman. He'll be gone soon." He said as his eyes narrowed.
"Just who the hell are you?" Bardock snapped.
"My name is…"
In a dark dimension…
There was darkness everywhere. No signs of light. No signs of life. Just complete darkness. Within the darkness lay a small body of a young Saiyan. Kaiser snapped his eyes open and jumped up to his feet and tried his best to make sense of his surroundings. He looked around but he couldn't see anything. There was darkness everywhere. He tried to use his sensors but even they didn't pick up any signs of life. Just then a spoke up from behind.
"So you finally woke up." The voice spoke coldly. Kaiser turned around quickly and saw…himself.
"W-Who? You're…me?" Kaiser gasped as he wondered how he could see him but nothing else. "Where am I and who are you?
"You are in the darkest corner your heart." The look alike replied.
"W-Wait a second. That voice! It's you! You're the-"
"The voice inside your pitiful head. Yes it is me and thanks to you, I am out there and soon you'll vanish." He spoke maniacally with a wide smirk on his face. His mouth parted to reveal his sharp teeth. Kaiser took a defensive stance and to this the clone smirked. "You're gonna fight me? Here? This is my realm. You can't defeat me here."
"How am I here? What did you do?" Kaiser growled.
"Oh I didn't do anything. It was all you. I am your negative energy and because of that encounter with that piece of shit of a father you let your anger and pain loose which allowed me to surface. Your soul should've been dissolved by now but you're tougher than I had originally anticipated but that doesn't matter. You'll vanish soon anyway."
Kaiser eased his stance. He knew he was at a disadvantage and continued with some more questions. "What are you?"
"I am your negative energy."
"My negative energy?"
"All the pain and hate that you've been building up inside of you since your mother died. The pain that you've suffered of loneliness and the hate that you have for your father. These two emotions have been stronger than every emotion you ever had. Even your love for that girl wasn't as strong as these two emotions. That's how pathetic and messed up you are."
"SHUT UP!" Kaiser snapped. "Just shut up! I'll kill you here and now!" He said as he burst into his Super Saiyan form and launched himself at his evil self. He started with a barrage of punches and kicks which were easily dodged. He growled and distanced himself a little. He noticed that smirk was still on his evil self's face. "Wipe that smirk off your face!" He yelled as he shot a few energy balls at him. At the last second his evil clone disappeared and reappeared behind Kaiser and delivered a backhand on his neck sending him crashing down on the dark floors of his heart. Kaiser slowly got up and rubbed the back of his neck. He looked back up and shot towards his evil self again only to be knocked back down again by a roundhouse kick.
"J-Just who are you?" He said as he got up again.
"My name is…Hell Kaiser." He replied coolly as he shot towards Kaiser with blinding speed. Kaiser braced himself as he knew this was one fight he couldn't hope to win.
Back in the plains of H.F.I.L…
"H-Hell Kaiser?" The female Saiyan asked. She started to tremble to see this side of her son.
"Yes mommy." He said sarcastically.
"You are a fool boy. We're both much stronger than you are." Bardock said as he moved closer to his mate.
"You are right. You are stronger than me but the difference between you and I is that I am not dead." He said as he pointed his finger over his head indicating that there is no halo. "You're son is the only thing that is keeping me from getting out of this place." He smirked evilly.
Lila was starting to get impatient with this brat and decided it was enough. "What makes you think we won't kill you?" She said as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What makes me know that you won't kill me is because if you kill me, your son will be removed from existence." He said as he laughed at the white faces of the two Saiyans.
"Kaiser! If you're in there then please hear me out! I love you and I am sorry for leaving you when you were just a little boy. I hate myself for it but please don't let this monster take over! You are meant for more than this!" Lila yelled as a last resort.
"SHUT UP WOMAN!" Hell Kaiser said angrily. He didn't need his counterpart to hear this. Bardock however caught onto this and he decided to continue.
"Listen to your mother! We all love you and the ones on earth are waiting for you to come back as yourself! Brila loves you! Don't let her down!"
"Damn it! I said SHUT UP!" He snapped as he launched over to the two Saiyans as an attempt to shut them up. He decided to go after Lila first starting off with an uppercut which she dodged easily but he wasn't done there he punched her torso with his other hand which didn't do any damage. She latched onto his left hand and threw him across the plains where Bardock was waiting on the other end. He was about to hit him with a backhand but he stopped before he could make contact and thus at the last moment Hell Kaiser shot a few energy blasts at Bardock to get away from him. Out of the smoke appeared an undamaged Bardock.
"The brat is smart. He let his guard down knowing that if I hit him it could end his life." He hissed as Lila landed next to him.
"We have to be careful. We can only hope and pray that Kaiser pulls through." She said as she readied herself for the next wave of Hell Kaiser's attacks.
Back in the dark dimension…
Kaiser was trying his best to fend himself off against Hell Kaiser's onslaught and to his surprise he was getting the hang of it. The two separated from each other as their fists collided.
"I don't hate you mom. I love you and I'll prove it to you by beating this guy!" Kaiser yelled as he could feel adrenaline rush through his body.
"You fool! You can't beat me! I am hate and pain! I am the strongest of emotions!" He yelled back.
"No! LOVE IS!" Kaiser yelled back as he rushed back to his opponent with fury of punches and kicks. Hell Kaiser blocked all of them and as soon as he found an opening he punched his counterpart right on his face sending him flying.
"Love is pointless! It doesn't give you power! It doesn't give you what you need to survive!" He said as the negative energy around him began to get denser.
"You're wrong!" Kaiser yelled as he appeared in front of Hell Kaiser. He raised both of his hands and formed a golden energy ball above him. "FINISH BUSTER!" He yelled as he threw it at his opponent.
Hell Kaiser gritted his teeth angrily and punched the golden ball back to Kaiser who dodged it with difficulty but his difficulties weren't done there, Hell Kaiser appeared behind him and kicked him on the side of his ribs sending him crashing down.
"HA! You see. I am stronger than you! YOU are wrong!" Hell Kaiser exclaimed as he pointed at the fallen Saiyan. Kaiser slowly got up as he felt the blood streaming down his lips.
"No you are wrong. I can tell and so can you." He said as he looked up with a smirk.
"W-WHAT?"
"I have made bonds with many people. Those bonds that radiate positive energy but when I saw my real father, those emotions left me because all I could think about was killing him over and over again." He said as he looked down at his hands. The same hands that were used to kill and torture his father. He clenched his fists tightly and looked back up to Hell Kaiser. "But I have found people to protect and love and for that sole purpose I can't allow you to win here!" He said as he began to glow with golden positive energy.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!" Hell Kaiser yelled as he blitzed towards his counterpart with a devastating right hook but to his surprise, Kaiser caught his wrist before he could connect his fist with his face.
"You fool, I am already dead." Kaiser said with a smirk as he pulled his arm back and then drove it into Hell Kaiser's gut making him spit blood and then Kaiser's leg collided with Hell Kaiser's face sending him flying. Hell Kaiser stopped midair and put his around his stomach wincing in pain.
"T-This can't be! How did he get so strong? Wait a minute! He didn't get stronger! I got weaker!" Hell Kaiser said in disbelief.
"This is the end for you Hell Kaiser. There's only room for one Kaiser in the universe and that's me." Kaiser said as he raised his right hand which started to glow. "With this I shall extinguish all my pain and anger." He said as he blitzed towards his counterpart.
"NO! I WON'T LET THIS BE THE END!" He yelled as he shot several ki blasts at Kaiser but Kaiser just punched them away and a second later he appeared right in front of Hell Kaiser delivering the final blow that would rid him of all of his negative energy. Hell Kaiser watched wide eyes as Kaiser fist got closer and closer and then finally it made contact. His fist pushed its way through his stomach breaking his spinal cord in the process and coming out from the other end. Hell Kaiser spat blood and began to pant heavily.
"T-t-this…isn't…o-o-over…" He said his last words as Kaiser retracted his arm and blasted Hell Kaiser's body into nothing and as soon as all his remains vanished, the dimension brightened up revealing shimmering golden energy everywhere.
Kaiser closed his eyes as a smile formed on his lips. "I did it…everyone…thank you." He said as the bright energy engulfed him.
Back in the plains of H.F.I.L…
Hell Kaiser was about to launch another barrage of attacks when he suddenly ceased his movements. He began to lose control of his body and the next thing he knew he was engulfed in golden energy. He let out a cry of agony as pain had emerged in his body.
"What's happening?" Lila yelled as she shielded her eyes from the bright light.
"I don't know but that's…that's positive energy!" Bardock exclaimed.
"GRAAAAHHHH!" Hell Kaiser yelled as his skin color was starting to turn normal. His once black tail was now golden. He slowly opened his eyes in pain and what the two Saiyan parents saw shocked them. One eye was a Super Saiyan eye and the other was still Hell Kaiser's evil eye.
"N-NOOO!" He yelled as his body burst into golden energy that radiated of positive energy. His other eye had turned into a Super Saiyan eye but his yelling didn't stop there.
"He did it!" Lila exclaimed excitedly but her smile disappeared when she saw the increase of power. "What's happening? Why is he still powering up?"
"I don't know!" Bardock said as he watched in awe.
Kaiser yelled at the top of his lungs as his power reached new heights. His hair became spikier than ever. The hair that ran down his back was no longer wavy. It stood up like the top part of his hair. One lock of hair fell over his forehead and his eyes became sterner. His muscle mass increased and his expression was tight.
"T-That's Super Saiyan 2!" Lila exclaimed. Bardock merely nodded as he was too shocked to say anything.
Kaiser made eye contact with the two and powered down back to his base form as he fell on one knee. He started panting lightly as he looked back up with a loving smile. "I-I d-d-did it…" He spoke as he fell over unconscious.
Back on Earth…
Cell had just returned from the dead. He was now more powerful than ever thanks to his Saiyan genes. He caught everyone by surprise and shot an energy beam at Trunks that went straight through his heart, killing him instantly. All the Z Fighters watched in horror as the warrior from the future took his last breath as he fell on the ragged floors of the desert plains.
Vegeta was trembling now. Both of his sons died right in front of him and he was powerless to prevent either of their deaths and the one who took their lives was that green monster.
"I was hoping to get the girl but oh well. Trunks is the next best thing I suppose." Cell said arrogantly as he emerged from the dust cloud. It was obvious to the Z Fighters that Cell was now on the same level as Gohan. "Don't worry brat. You'll be joining your boyfriend soon." Cell said evilly as he glanced over to Brila. She too was trembling but not of anger but fear. Her grip on Kaiser's dead body tightened as she prayed silently for her love to return and save them.
Gohan watched the whole silently as his rage was building up inside of him at an alarming rate. He instantly transformed into his Super Saiyan 2 form. He glared at Cell with the intent to kill as he took a step forward. "You're gonna pay for this Cell. This has gone far enough. First you kill my father, then my best friend and now another of my closest of friends. I'll end this here and NOW!" Gohan snapped as he launched himself at Cell with a right hook that Cell blocked. Cell took this opportunity with a quick low kick which Gohan avoided by jumping up and then he went on with a roundhouse kick that Cell dodged by jumping back but Gohan wasn't done there. He went on with a fury of punches and kicks. Cell managed to block all of them but the fists of a Super Saiyan 2 would hurt no matter what so he used the Instant Transmission to get behind Gohan and then he hit him with a backhand which connected firmly sending Gohan crashing to the ground but Gohan quickly jumped to his feet sending out a few energy blasts. Cell deflected all of them but those were just decoys as Gohan planted a right hook on Cell's face from above. Cell stopped midair as he wiped the blood off his face but to Gohan's annoyance; he smirked.
"What's so funny?" Gohan growled.
"A while ago, that punch would've left me whimpering in pain but now, it doesn't seem to be such a big deal." Cell replied an evil smirk. Gohan just clenched his fists as he planned out his next attack.
Vegeta wasn't paying much attention to their battle. He was lost in thought on how he let both his sons die. "Damn it…damn it all to hell…My sons…They are both dead and there wasn't a damn thing I could've done about it…" He thought to himself as he closed his eyes and clenched his fists angrily. He let out a cry of pain and sorrow as he burst into his Super Saiyan form.
"I'LL AVENGE THEM BOTH!" He yelled as he shot out a huge energy beam at Cell who was taken off guard. Vegeta took this chance and blasted away hundreds of energy volleys hoping to kill the android.
No one made an attempt to even stop him as Vegeta was acting under pure rage. Even Gohan was caught by surprise at Vegeta's sudden outburst.
Vegeta halted his onslaught as he reached his limit. He was left panting as he looked at the cloud of smoke his attack had created. For a second he thought he had actually managed to kill Cell but his imaginary victory was short lived as Cell appeared from the cloud and blitzed towards a shell shocked Vegeta and delivered a devastating right hook to the prince's face sending him crashing down creating a small crater in the ground.
"DIE VEGETA!" Cell yelled as he shot a powerful energy blast that would ensure the death of the mighty Saiyan prince. Gohan read the attack before anyone else and dashed towards the fallen prince's aid but during his micro second flight he realized that there was no time to block Cell's attack and he would have to use his body as a shield to make sure Vegeta wouldn't die. The blast collided with Gohan's left arm but the demi Saiyan's might ensured no damage on Vegeta but it created a huge shockwave that even managed to get most Z Fighters off their feet.
As the dust cloud vanished, it revealed a badly injured Gohan lying on top of Vegeta. Cell laughed maniacally at this sight. The Z Fighters watched in horror as they saw their last hope fall right before them.
"Damn that idiot!" Piccolo growled. "He should've controlled himself! Trunks can be wished back by the Dragon Balls." He said as he directed his anger at the Saiyan prince.
"Haha would you look at that. It seems as if I have killed two birds with one stone…well almost." He said as he saw Gohan pick himself up.
Vegeta groaned in annoyance as it dawned on him that he had messed up yet again. "I am sorry Gohan. This is all my fault. I should've killed that stupid doctor when I had the chance. I should've killed Cell when I had the chance but I let my pride get the better of me." He said as he picked himself up from the dusty ground. "It's my fault both my son's are dead. They could've been alive if I wouldn't have been so damn stupid!" He yelled as tears started to stream down his cheeks.
Gohan watched with one eye open. He was shocked to the core. He had never seen Vegeta like this. He never saw him admitting that he was at fault. He never saw compassion or regret in his eyes.
"Get away from here. You're no match for Cell. He'll kill you. I must take him on alone." Gohan said weakly as he looked up at the smirking Android. Vegeta wanted to protest but now he had had enough. He gave up and flew away. He landed next to Trunks's dead body and watched as Cell landed on the ground.
"Poor little Veggie. Crying like a little girl." Cell hissed. "Well this planet has given me a lot and what I mean by that is that it gave me a lot of energy but unfortunately I must destroy it so I can move on but I must do something before that. I must kill you, Gohan Son. You must die and I'll be the one to kill you." He said as he clapped his wrists together. He was preparing for a Kamehameha that would decide the fate of the universe. "PREPARE YOUR SELF!" He yelled as a blue energy ball formed in his hands.
Gohan stood there holding his injured and bleeding arm. "There's no point…I am not strong enough. If I would've been at full power I could've done something but right now I am too weak to fight him let alone fend off a full powered Kamehameha." He thought to himself as he bowed his head in shame. "I am sorry everyone…I have failed."
10 minutes later in the plains of Heaven…
"Kakarot provided the boy with the inspiration he needed to give it one last shot. This should be interesting. Where's your blue friend? We'll need him in case things go south." Bardock said as he turned to his mate but before she could answer, said blue friend answered for her.
"I am right here." Soba said sternly from behind the couple. "Seems as if you guys did it." He said as he glanced over to his unconscious pupil.
"Yeah. He played a huge part too. He defeated Hell Kaiser all by himself and after that he transformed into a Super Saiyan 2." Lila said happily.
"Hell Kaiser?" Soba asked with a quizzical expression.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you everything you need to know later on." Lila said apologetically as she knew her 'blue friend' didn't like to wait. Soba merely grunted as he looked inside the visual pool. Just then Kaiser groaned as he rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Ugh…where am I?" He asked as he jumped off the ground.
"You're back in heaven Kaisy." Lila said as she embraced her son in loving hug. Bardock joined them as he put his hand on top of his son's head. Soba merely smiled at the sight and nodded at the young Saiyan.
"I am glad that's over. How are things going on Earth?" He asked earning a few looks of dissatisfaction.
"Things have taken a turn for the worst kid." Bardock said as he stepped in front of the visual pool.
"WHAT? How?" Kaiser exclaimed as he jogged up to the visual pool as he saw Gohan barely holding on against Cell's Kamehameha. "How did this happen? Where's Goku? And…Oh no…Trunks…" He said as the pool focused on Trunks's dead body.
"A lot happened kid. Goku died when Cell threatened to blow up the planet. He teleported himself and Cell to King Kai's planet where he blew up killing everyone there and thanks to his regenerating abilities, Cell came back stronger than ever and what you're seeing now is the result of that." Soba concluded.
Kaiser gritted his teeth at his brother's loss and the thought that Cell was just minutes away from destroying the planet. "We can't just sit here and do nothing."
"We have no choice." Bardock said as he shifted his gaze to his son. Kaiser grunted in response but he was left with no other choice but to stay put. Kaiser closed his eyes and opened them with resolve as he put two fingers on his forehead.
Back on Earth…
"Gohan! You must let everything go! I know you can do it." Goku said as his spirit stood behind his son as those two worked together on their Kamehameha. Gohan was trying his best to generate as much energy as he could but it just didn't work.
The rest of the Z Fighters except for Brila and Vegeta were all behind Cell firing away all the energy blasts that they had in their arsenal but that did little to no damage to Cell as they were all too tired.
Brila saw this wasn't going anywhere and decide to step in. She let go of Kaiser's body and set him aside gently. Vegeta noticed her moving and he knew what she was going to do. "Where do you think you're going?" He hissed.
Brila didn't turn around to answer him she just tilted her head a little so she could catch his concerned face. "I am going to help him. Come with me Vegeta. We have to help Gohan or we'll all die!" She exclaimed as she turned around to meet his eyes fully. Vegeta took a step back. His confidence had been shattered after today's events.
"I… don't…I…"
"Why are you scared?"
"I am not scared!" He snapped.
"Then why aren't you helping them?" She yelled back.
"Kaiser and Trunks died right before me and there was nothing I could do…I HAVE NOTHING LEFT!" He yelled admittedly.
"What about Bulma and baby Trunks? How could you even say that you have nothing left?" She said as she punched him on his cheek making him fall down. Vegeta was shocked and angry but not at her. He was angry at himself.
"You still have a lot to fight for Vegeta. What would Kaiser and Trunks say if they saw you, the prince of all Saiyans, like this? On the ground! Accepting defeat without even trying!" She said as she turned around. "You can stay here if you like. You can answer to Kaiser himself when we all die." She said as a tear escaped from her bloodshot eyes. She blasted off to the rest of the Z Fighters however she was closely followed by Vegeta who had a determined expression on his face. Brila looked back and smiled at him making him grunt in response.
"Ready Vegeta?" Brila said as she transformed into a Super Saiyan. Vegeta grunted again and transformed into his Super Saiyan form.
Brila clapped her hands together as she let out a battle cry as lightening surrounded her. Her finger tips began to glow as she slowly parted them revealing strings of lightening attached from one end to the other. She put her hands on top of her head and formed a red energy ball in the midst of the lightening strings. The ball expanded and became the size of the Son household.
Vegeta held his hands together as lightening surrounded his body and in his hands, he formed a golden energy ball that took a lot out of him. He charged the attack as much as he could. He glanced over to Brila who was ready to release her attack and then right on cue both of them launched their attacks at a completely oblivious Cell.
"OMNI BLAST!"
"FINAL FLASH!"
The two yelled as they shot their attacks at Cell. Before Cell had any time to dodge, the two attacks exploded on Cell's back. The two did not let go of their attacks yet as they kept pouring as much energy as they could. Cell tried to get rid of them but he was preoccupied with Gohan's Kamehameha.
Goku saw this opportunity and knew this was their only chance. "Gohan this is your last chance! You must let all of it go now or there'll be nothing left to protect."
"I am trying dad but I don't have anything left!" Gohan said as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"No Gohan! Don't say that! You can do it." Goku said as he tried his best to give his son some inspiration but it was no good. Gohan was getting weaker.
Suddenly Gohan felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He slowly turned his head and saw his best friend smiling down at him.
"K-K-Kaiser?"
"Giving up already G?"
"I-I…I can't go on Kaiser. I have nothing left."
"Don't give up G. I believe in you. Here take this." He said as he put his hand on Gohan's injured arm. Kaiser's hand started to glow and he continued to pour his own energy into Gohan. His arm healed instantly and he could feel a good portion of his energy return. Goku watched the two in awe as he sensed Gohan's power increase.
"W-What is going o-on?" Cell demanded as he too could feel Gohan's energy increase.
"Become the savior you were always meant to be Gohan. Defeat Cell and save everyone." He said as he gave his best friend a reassuring smile. Gohan smiled back and focused his attention to his Kamehameha.
"My best friend saved me Cell. With Kaiser's power, I'LL KILL YOU!" Gohan said as he poured the remainder of his energy into his attack.
"NOOOOO!" Cell yelled in pain as the blast engulfed him destroying ever single cell in his body thus ending his existence.
Gohan was left panting as he dropped to his base form and then literally dropped to the ground.
"Kaiser…I…-" He paused as he opened his eyes to find his best friend but he was nowhere to be found. "Thank you Kaiser…" He thought to himself as a smile formed on his lips.
Everyone came around Gohan to celebrate with him but little did they know that their celebration would be short lived.
Back in Heaven…
Kaiser just materialized in front of his parents and mentor. He was expecting to be scolded but he got praised instead.
"You did the right thing Kaisy." Lila said as she hugged him tightly. "You saved everyone."
"My body just moved on its own. Well now since Cell is dead, they can wish me, Trunks and Goku back. What about you three? Would you guys to live again?" He said as he looked at the two older Saiyans and the Yardrat.
"Well I died a natural death so I can't come back." Lila said with a frown.
"I like it more here and I can't imagine living without her." Bardock said as he put his arm around Lila's waist.
"You mean that?" Lila said she looked into his eyes with a wide smile.
"Of course. I mean who else is supposed to cook for me?" Bardock said but before he could form a grin he was smashed in the face by an angry female Super Saiyan.
"Wow…I don't think I could take her on even if I would be in my Super Saiyan 2 form." Kaiser said as he watched his mother beat the crap out of his father. He shifted his gaze on his mentor and asked him, "What about you Soba?"
"I like it here. I have a lot to learn here kid and that's why I choose to stay here but do me a favor kid. When you go back, make sure you go to Yardrat to visit. I am sure Rogi misses you."
"Sure thing Soba." Kaiser said with a smile and just then a familiar blue man appeared on the scene. Lila halted her onslaught to question him.
"What is it now Krakl?" She asked hoping that it would not be another trip to hell.
"Hello again, Lady Lila, Lord Bardock, Lord Soba and L-Lord K-Kaiser." The blue man said uneasily as he remembered the look he received from the young Saiyan.
"Is it another riot?" Bardock asked as he rubbed his sore cheek.
"No sir. It's a message from King Yenma and it's for you." He said pointing at Kaiser.
"Me? What is it?" Kaiser asked.
Krakl wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued with his bad news. "Well…you see…"
30 minutes later on Kami's lookout…
The Z Fighters just received the devastating news that Goku chose not to come back to life as an attempt to save the planet from any other future threats. He argued that all the villains that they have faced on Earth were enemies of his and if he remained dead, there would be no one to attack the Earth but that didn't explain one thing. Why wasn't Kaiser back to life yet? Trunks was revived as soon as the wish was made but why wasn't he?
Brila noticed him not waking up and started to panic. "Why hasn't Kaiser woken up yet? How come he's not alive?" She asked with a panicky expression. Even Vegeta was starting to panic. Everyone looked up to the eternal dragon for answers.
The dragon remained silent for a while until he answered, "The one you call Kaiser wishes to speak to you." The Dragon said sternly as his red eyes started to glow.
"Just then, Kaiser's dead body started to illuminate and all of his injuries healed and his clothes got restored. He opened his eyes and picked himself up. He looked at everyone with a serious expression but before he could say anything he was tackled by Brila and Gohan.
"What's all this about?" Brila demanded.
"Why aren't you back to life yet. Don't you dare do what my father just did." Gohan growled
"If you let go of me I will tell you and no I won't do what Goku just did." He said with a smile as he knew full well what Goku had done. The two of them let him go and stepped back.
"First let me tell you what happened when I got to the otherworld." He said as he commanded everyone's attention. He proceeded to tell them about everything that had happened when he got there.
He told them about the riot. He told them about his behavior when he saw his real father. He told them about Hell Kaiser and how he defeated him but he didn't tell them about his transformation. He thought it was best not to.
"What does any of this have to do with anything with you not being alive yet brat?" Vegeta growled.
"I am getting there dad." Kaiser said weakly.
"When I fought Hell Kaiser, I had to fight for my existence. Which means that I was on the verge of becoming nonexistent and unfortunately this burnt some of my soul force. Soul force is your soul energy. You're soul force gets decreased when your soul can't tell if you're dead or alive because when I fought Hell Kaiser, I was dead but he was alive and he was still a part of me but my soul couldn't tell. My soul burnt out even more when I came back on Earth to help Gohan." He paused as he glanced at Gohan who had guilt written over his face. "When I came back, my soul force decreased even more because I was in a dimension in which I was not supposed to be without proper preparation of course."
"W-What does a-all this m-mean?" Brila said as she stepped closer to her love source. Kaiser bowed his head in shame.
"It means that I can't be wished back." He said regrettably.
There was silence across the whole lookout. No one dared to say anything. Tears started rolling down Brila's angelic cheeks. Gohan fell over. First it was his father and now it was his best friend.
Vegeta felt numb. He couldn't make sense of anything anymore. Trunks felt the same way. He saw his brother die in his timeline and now in this one too.
Kaiser lifted his heads to see all the fallen spirits. Now it was time for some good news. "I will come back to life though." He said as he wiped the tears of Brila's face.
"When?" Gohan spoke without making eye contact.
"When my soul energy gets restored." Kaiser said as he began to glow again. Everyone looked at him again in awe. They knew what was coming next. "It seems as if I have to go now guys." He said as he put on a smile on his face. He looked at Brila and cupped her chin with his hands and briefly brushed his lips against hers. The two made eye contact and wished that it would last forever. "I am so sorry everyone but don't worry. I'll be back soon he said as he began to glow even more. Gohan couldn't take it anymore he jumped at Kaiser and latched onto him like his life depended on it.
"KAISER! Please don't go! Please! I need you. Brila needs you. Everyone needs you." He said as Trunks joined them in the hug but he didn't say anything because he was mature enough to know that there was nothing he could do or say to prevent this.
"I am sorry. I will be back soon. Gohan, you have made us all so proud. Don't be sad. You've got tons of things to live for." He said as he hugged him back.
"I hope you can forgive me Trunks. I am truly sorry." He said as he hugged his brother. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore there were others he wanted to hug but only one of those people was here.
He couldn't be strong anymore, he needed to let go. He needed to become a child again just for one last time. "DADDY!" He said as he escaped from the others and hugged Vegeta with all his might. Tears rolled down his cheeks like they did when he cried for his mother's death. Vegeta was taken off guard by this. He too could feel it slipping. He bit his lip to suppress the tears and hugged his son.
"You've made me so proud my son." He said as he tried to make him stop crying by ruffling his hair. "I look forward to our next meeting. Just promise me that you won't stop training." He said as he let out a chuckle. Kaiser sobbed silently in his father's arms.
"Tell mom I am sorry and I love her. In case I don't come back in time. Tell baby Trunks what kind of brother he had." Kaiser requested silently.
"Of course, my son." Vegeta replied.
His body was now gone as it had been turned into golden light. The light blitzed up in the sky and exploded leaving everyone to gaze at the beauty of the glittery skies. It was a happy day for the world but a miserable day for the Z Fighters as they had lost two of their beloved heroes.
Brila and Gohan dropped on the ground as they started crying their eyes out. Other Z Fighters couldn't hold back either, they too broke down. The only ones who remained silent were Vegeta and Piccolo. The rest of them filled the skies with the sounds of crying
"Your next wish?" The dragon requested but he was only met by sobs.
