My Father.

The so called hero.

A man that everyone loved unconditionally and yet when I looked deep inside myself I couldn't find that love. A void had grown in the place where my fathers love should of been. Our eyes met and for the first time I understood why my life had never been my own. All of trials and tribulations, the scars on my back were the things that distinguished me from him. An old familiar stain...one that reminded me of my mothers cries, her pained yells as she called for you. The hits and bruises that adorned my body as she cursed your name.

I now understood why I was never my own individual. I finally understood why I had carried YOUR burdens

Fair skin. One without blemish or signs of battles fought

Raven eyes. Eyes that were filled with pride, joy, strength and hope

Hair dark as night

Goku...Goten

Features that were so close to mine, they almost made me believe I was you

I wanted to laugh hysterically, do something to release all my frustrations on how you screwed me over...because these wounds would never disappear no matter how desperately I struggle... I will never be normal.

"Hey there son?" He smiled

I didn't need your love. Because my cries never reached you after ever hit she gave me. Since in that disparity only my prayers consoled me, ones that never found a place to rest.

...She never forgave you for leaving, just when she needed you the most. But I was the only thing left, and I... had no one else but myself because in such a place there was no one else left for me to be

" Goku...Why did you have me...?" I asked.

He looked at me contemplating an answer, he stood in front of me and smiled despite the betrayel emanating from his eyes as I called him by his name. A smile almost as if he were reminiscing about a past long forgotten...once he found his words he gently spoke to me. A beautiful noise that made me waiver

"To be able to take care of you...

To watch you grow...

Everyday an enemy came to Earth in search of a man named Kakkarot...I worked hard, sacrificed my own happiness left my family behind...

Because I dreamed of a better place for my sons

...It gave me a reason to live"

I looked at him and quickly I bowed, hiding my face afraid that my eyes...the quiver of my lips would betray me.

" Mother...she used to grow these flowers, ones you gave her a long time ago. They always made her glow, attain a certain beauty that I had never seen in any woman, and she had a smile...a smile that lingers in my mind till this day. But I always feared winter because once those flowers died so did she. You see after you and Gohan left...she wasn't fully there. And as I aged I realized that the only reason she had ever loved me was because I looked exactly like you...I'm really happy right now because at least I got a chance to meet you, but I cant...accept your love. It wouldn't be fair to mother...I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry..."

That's when I realized that I was at the edge of a cliff. The beauty of this place vanishes...my father extends his hands as if he were trying to catch me

(Goten hanging from a building)

Gently the young saiyan stirred from his sleep. Awoken by the screams and yells around him. Yes, he did travel back in time, but to where and when...well, the time...how about an estimate, 40 years into the past...and to answer a question you're probably asking...he did meet his father. How, read and find out...

Don't you see there bodies burning

Desolent and full of yearning

Dying of anticipation, choking from intoxication

I instantly opened my eyes...afraid to move. My body dangling from the edge as I moved my hand, scraping it against the shards that once belonged to the time machine.

The cool breeze carried with it the smell of blood and decay, the smell of burning flesh...

It's smell makes me nauseous, as its taste lingers in my mouth. Chills run down my spine as the silent touch of death makes its presence known...

Last day of the rest of my life

I wish I would of known cuz I would of kissed my mama good-bye

I didn't tell her that I loved her how much I cared

Didn't thank my pops for all his talks and the wisdom he shared

Who knew this day wasn't like the rest.

As I walked in no particular direction I felt shivers as I left behind the last piece that connected me to my own timeline. Almost as if my attempts to run from such a sorrowful place, lead me deeper into its wake.

Call me blind but I didn't see it coming

Everybody was running

But I couldn't hear nothin

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast

And the people ran past me. Warning me to do the same. A blast quickly approached us. Its path destroying the bodies on the floor...completely obliterating their last existence.

My body shivered in anticipation almost as if something deep within me had surfaced, and without a second thought I extended my hand, clutching the blast as it burned my fingers. The sizzles and smell of burnt flesh made me feel alive, saiyan like - a feeling I had never felt before - and as the blood trickled down my hand I realized that for the first time...I was whole.

However, the time it took for me to deflect the blast the enemy had surrounded us. An enemy that consisted of battered men, and children. Like the one who had sent the ki blast...I couldn't help but stare at the child

I don't know this kid...

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love

Or maybe for a moment

He forgot who he was

Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged

"You're pathetic. I will enjoy killing you in front of your brethren. Set an example of how weak your species really end is near..." the orange man crackled

Taking a special interest in me.

"Kill him" He yelled (Orange dude).

And without a second thought, a dozen solders attacked me. I kept dodging attacks, one after the other, as the white haired man retreated, beamed to a ship. The children of the woman looked on, as their world fell apart, helpless...no child should ever be exposed to such horrors instead they should be playing with toys, careless to the real horrors of the world. I see myself in their eyes

I wanted to save them.

I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain

I see the love, I see the hate, I see this world that we can make

I see the life, I see the sky.

"Fucckkkk YOU!". I yelled. Why were they doing this?

"Open your eyes. You have more in common with them (pointing to the civilians) than your fucked up commanders. These are your own people. What made you lose so much of your values that you're willing to kill women and children...WHAT? What are you accomplishing...look at these children -as the wounded men on the floor rose up-"

A saiyan mother yelled,

"...You take all that we are, the innocence of our hearts. Then you make us kneel before an alter as you tear us apart-"

The solders all around me, the wounded ones, my enemies, stood behind me, each looking at me with admiration. Hundreds arose from the ground, each standing before me. None spoke, but it seemed like they understood me...my message had gotten through. The cries of our race reached them, reminding them what it was we stood for...they understood the man that I was.

On the opposing side a tall man marched forward. A man with a special type of armor, black raven hair that reached his back and eyes that never strayed from mine...and suddenly he punched me.

I see the truth in your lies

I see nobody by your side

But I'm with you when your alone

I see the guilt beneath the shame

I see your soul through your windowed pain

I see the scars that remain

"Why didn't you kill us... 3rd class? What can you do to save us and our families... They promised to spare our children and partners what can you, a puny low class offer us other than your pitiful words!" he yelled. Choking me, the guilt must have gotten to him, my familiar. A man I felt I knew.

"Radditz let him go!" Another saiyan yelled

"Yes...father" he snarled

A hand was extended to me,

"Kakkarot?" he states in near shock

However I never got to answer because, as I looked up, I noticed the clouds part and the skies turn orange.

I was face to face with oblivion.

A giant blast slowly approached us. Something that grew in size the closer it got. Its heat slowly shifting the cool breeze of the wind.

If I wanted to save them I had to act now...

I placed my palms close together, my grandfather didn't move. No one really moved, they had lost all hope and my poor uncle laughed, madness clearly written across his face.

"Ka-Me-Ha-Me-" I yelled

The earth shook and everyone instantly found themselves breathing...

"Kakkarot?" my grandfather question

I didn't think of the consequences, or the fact that this might even kill me because finally I had a family to call my own...because I had finally understood my father's role on planet Earth. The reason he left...I finally understood.

"My name is Goten, your grandson...so please don't make that face...I promise everything will be okay

...everything is going to be okay, I'm here for you."

Capsule Corp

"Trunks! Were home" yelled Bulma who along her way found 16. Right behind them Vegeta and Brolly followed. Gohan returned to the car having forgotten some papers. Once they were all inside Trunks came down

"What's he doing here?" He spoke with anger

Bulma smiled, "oh this nice young man, well he wanted to see how Goten was doing" she smiled

Vegeta looked around smelling for the younger saiyan.

"Where's the brat" he grunted (he secretly wanted to see his grandkids)

Which in turn made Trunks flinch. He never got to answer because Goku had phased right in front of him

"Hey guys" Goku smiled

There was a pregnant pause...

"Goku!" Everyone yelled except Vegeta and Brolly, who had yelled "Kakarrot"

However his face instantly turned serious,

"Goten traveled back in time... Isn't that right Trunks? (turning to the demi-saiyan)...Exactly where he traveled to...King Ki, has informed me that Goten is currently in planet Vegeta"

"What!" yelled the prince

"We have to get there soon, because he has traveled to the exact point in time when Freza destroyed our planet"

Planet Vegeta

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I yelled, powering up.

All of them backed away from me looking at me with shock, probably thinking about the possibility of a 3rd class having such power. I hated what I was about to do. But there was no other way...

"He's ascending," my uncle spoke.

Honestly, it hurt less to transform, but I clenched my teeth trying to keep my form...but my eyes hurt. I wondered if I was the only one to feel such...consequences. Finally I found that power I had placed away so many years ago and tapped into it.

As my vision started to waiver, I felt the rush of energy, I felt my gold hair stand up and beneath me, a giant crater formed as everone looked at me, with hope and a belief for a better tomorrow.

I had become the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Looking at me now I can see the past...

Damn I look like my fucking dad

However, the massive energy ball was quickly approaching...and my vision began to get covered in my own blood. I blinked them away because my target was far away

"Ha!"

My eyes hurt from the strain. My palms weren't used to such an outburst and my legs were ready to give out. This attack wasn't strong, but I already knew that. This attack was just to push the sphere a bit back, as I charged for a stronger attack. Quickly, I changed my stance, but my energy wasn't charging fast enough...

"Haaaaaa!" I heard many yells. Looking in front of me I noticed the child who attacked me before, my grandfather and my uncle and the other saiyans striving to survive, buying me more time

"We have powers too. Now hurry up and charge!" the child spoke.

And so I concentrated...

I felt the massive sphere right above of me...everything was silent. I looked at the sphere one last time, and for some reason I saw my life.

I see my mama's smile that's a blessing

I see the change and I see the message

And no message couldn't be any clearer

It hurt. No, not the physical pain. But my regret. Which weighed the most right now. I closed my eyes and extended my hands feeling the warmth of life around me.

I see the love in disguise

I regret not telling Gohan that I loved him.

I see the pain hidden in your pride

I regret not telling my father...how happy I was to meet him.

I regret not being more open about my feelings.

I regret seeing Vegeta's smile when he found out he would be a grandfather.

I regret not being more outspoken, and making more friends.

I see the blood in your eyes

...I raised my level another notch, I had reached my limit.

I see the scars that remain

What I regret the most was snatching away Trunks chance at being a father...

"Dragon Fist!" And as the last of my energy left me, I realized that I couldn't see anymore. The horrible taste of blood made its way into my mouth. The tearing of my body, my fingernails breaking, this was truly the end.

Mirror on the wall...you told me that they would understand the man I am

So would they forgive me, for leaving...

For not saying goodbye.

Capsule Corp

"Quickly Bulma we need the Dragon Radar. We need to find the Dragonballs now!..." He demands (Goku)

Bulma quickly does as she is told. While Goku tries to keep a calm mind... King Ki said that he would keep a look out for his youngest son...but the minutes had turned into hours

"Here I found it..." Bulma smiled

And instantly they all dispersed in search of the dragon balls
