Hearts were choked with fear at the sight of the explosions, the screams came seconds after and then people abandoning their cars ran safe distances away from the blazing vehicles, whilst the Vortex (unknown to them) closed: The call to the fire fighting department of Satan city, happened five minutes later, and it took fifteen minutes more for the FFD to arrive and bring out their equipments to quench the flames.

The questioning would come later when the police arrive, the FFD however till then did their job and found well burnt bodies in the few nearby vehicles that had got caught by the flames. But the main vehicle (the bus) in which the fire had started (according to witnesses) was empty, the bus driver was gone along with the students. Which humanly was impossible, but due to the crazy things that had occured in the city and the world at large. It was not difficult to assume that everyone in the bus had been teleported- Hopefully to safety -...

Almost 10pm that Tuesday when Goku began to regain consciousness, as he did Goku believed himself to be in the bus still, for in the opening of his eyes Goku saw fire everywhere about him, the smell of smoke and burnt flesh filled his nose and override his senses. Then fear and worry gripped him, gazing around he saw the numerous "bodies" of the thirty students burnt beyond recognition. And in despair Goku had almost fallen to his knees, when he saw the stranger beyond him amidst the bodies in the fire.

Risen up on his feet like some sun curses wraith, without emotion or expression. Despair at the believed sight of the stranger turned to anger, and that anger turned to blind rage. The stranger then turned his eyes to Goku, and the eyes were a pair of bright sapphire lights which pupils reflected a man with crimson hair aflame with wild dancing orange flames: Son Goku like a bull in rage charged the stranger screaming in a burst of speed, and making use of his martial arts swung fist and feet, attacks which were smartly either dodged or countered till the altercation had torn open the bus; wind also like from a vortex sucked out and broke the burnt bodies, whilst dragging them out.

His rage dies at the scene, and as if in pursuit of shadows, Goku turned away from his foe to pursue and retrieve the bodies being dragged off into the wind: but before he could Goku felt a hit to his nape and everything was suddenly painted black... At the second, twelve past ten Goku awoke to see the stranger standing beyond him on a body of water, once again consumed with rage at the memory of his failure to retrieve the corpses of the thirty students put in his trust as an employee of the school: Son Goku charged again and when he had come close to the stranger, began he to throw kicks and punches that never connected for Goku sank, and whilst sinking Goku saw the stranger keeping him above water by gripping him at the shoulders. Then thinking he was saved, he felt the air leave his lungs as he was kneed in the solar plexus and the black returned:

It was 10.30 when Son Goku finally awoke from his disillusionment and feverish nightmare. Goku had been lying on the ground, and the first thing that came into his ears was the sound of water drifting to shore and splashing against rocks. Goku sat up slowly and carefully, he was aching all over and felt like he had a broken rib. Apart from those Goku felt fine, and once he was fully on his ass, Goku looked beyond the burning woods a few metre from himself to the lean almost skinny stranger on his ass with legs crossed: the stranger a man with a golden white spiky mane of hair, his bony face beard full and his eyes closed. The man appeared starved, but the incredible cuts which proved the man's body had once been an extraordinary one were still there.

Which made Goku wonder when last he'd done any fitness training, cause now where muscles once were fat had completely taken over. For though the retired martial artist was no fate man, all the years of eating and not burning any of the received fat or calories had left him rather plump and plain. He believed his warrior days were long behind him, and couldn't even remember when last he'd seen the prince of all saiyans- that proud and arrogant self-important bastard. Goku thought indignantly. He then tilts his head to have a look at where he's woken up in, it had been to his surprise a rocky shore beyond a sea. And son Goku wanted to scream and tear his own hairs out, when he remembered the students, and quickly his anger was Kindled against the stranger, but as if the stranger had sensed his animosity raises his right arm and pointed with his thumb somewhere behind him; Goku lifted his gaze and looking past the stranger, saw a wooden house up among the rocks. He looked back at the stranger and asked,

' How? '

' Don't know, found us here when you blindly started attacking me, and had to knock you out. Twice. After I built the house and set the slumbering teenagers inside. ' replied the stranger in a deep hoarse voice.

Goku wouldn't believe it till he saw it, and thus rose up gritting his teeth at the pain and wobbles over to the house. It took him six minutes to get to the entrance and open the door, going in Goku saw that the students indeed were alive and asleep and he sank down to his knees weeping quietly in joy at the sight of their safety.

When Goku returned though still weak, his countenance had changed, he sat back down opposite the stranger.

' Thank you, ' said he staring at the crackling flames and the burning woods.

' Told you I do no know. ' replied the stranger with demur.

' For the house, it's somewhat cold out here, despite the fire. But in there it's warm. '

' Then you should have stayed in with the children, would do them some good to see a familiar face when they wake up. '

' Who are you? ' asked Goku.

' A nobody, a stranger in a strange world. I'm Nobody. ' said Nobody.

' Alright Nobody, do you know where you are from? '

Nobody gave no response and after a minute of expecting one and getting none, Goku sighed and tentatively touching his injured side from which is the broken rib, he looked up to the starry night, and thinking out loud he began to say thus:

' It has been so long since I've been up there among the stars, fighting at the peak of combat... ' He sighed in remembrance. ' I was a strong Saiyan warrior once, but not anymore. I am now a byword. Lover and friends have forsaken me, my rightous act has ruined me and my passion has long been turned over to the grave. I am at the end all alone. ' uttered Goku with amusement and laughter.

Nobody frowned puzzled.

' Why do you laugh? ' He asked

' Because after so many years I finally realize that this crazy life is too short, and how could I have known when the dragon balls were always around to bring me back. '

Nobody did not understand Goku and decided not to try to, so he ignored the Saiyan till the black haired became silent, Nobody caught the smell of blood and when he opened his eyes to look he saw that somehow, perhaps on his walk to the house and back that the man had ruptured a kidney, and was now suffering from an internal bleeding that had causes him to collapse. Nobody at once got up and hurried over to the once raging bull, he got down on one knee and held the man close to his chest.

Goku was dying and Nobody knew he was this man's only hope, so Nobody held out his right palm and a print of a yellow sun appeared on it. Nobody mumbling some words placed the palm on Goku's chest, and thus began to heal and restore the powerless Saiyan till for a brief moment Goku's hair and moustache turned to a bloody shade of red.
