Beyond The Forest
Chapter 16: Hard Truths
************
Goku's smile that was once filled with nothing but happiness and pride for the life that they had created together. He reached down to brush Chi-Chi's hair back but as he felt her face he knew something wasn't right. But as he thought her exhausted he felt no air pass through her lips. He nudged her face and she slumped to the side. " Chi-Chi?" He said his voice sounding frightened.
She didn't respond and Goku moved his hand over her neck searching for the flow of life through her veins...... he felt nothing.
Goku fell to his knees as he felt nothing. Everything that had once filled his mind, his ability to sense her mind, her presence, and very emotion had vanished. His head moved over her chest and not a sound came as his hearing could hear nothing, he could feel no movement. " No....." He said his eyes beginning to fill with unshed tears. His head looked over her face as his hands grabbed her face gently.
The wave of emotion collided with him as he let out a painful sob, pulling her head against his chest. Stroking her long black hair as his tears fell like a river from his face. " Chi-Chi! Chi-Chi don't leave me!!!" Goku screamed with grief as his head snapped back howling like a wolf with the pain of loss. His son which was now laying on the bed no longer cried as it looked at his father.
The deep cries reverberated throughout the cave giving a familiar noise of a pack around him following his voice of loss. His face was streaked with tears of pain, his long hard wails nothing close to the overbearing torture ripping through his soul. Seeing the life of the most treasured being he ever had now no longer would be by his side. No longer would he be able to see her face smile with happiness, to feel the true happiness they had created together. It was never going to come back. " NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Goku screamed his pain slowly draining as it was replaced by unfathomable fury.
A vein on his forehead bulged, his hands clutched her body closer as his tail wrapped around his son and carried him out of the cave. His anger taking place as his foot with one simple kick dug up several feet of dirt and enough to fit his mate's body. She wasn't to return to him ever again.... " MY.....MY Chi-Chi!!!!" He screamed his own drama and pain was a real show for all the masses around the world.
People watched with sorrow for the demon who was not only peaceful not only appearance but in his actions with the woman he loved. It was so tragic.... but denying the pain that he was going through no one could imagine. He lowered her body into the grave. Her once treasured appearance now pale and empty.... but as he moved to leave and cover the pit that would forever seal his heart inside himself he found great movement around him. He set his son on the ground as his eyes flashed a burning red, his demon nature now filling his veins.
" Bravo! Very bravo my demon child. But your surely lacking in the grief, anger is not som-" Goku lashed out at the speaker tearing it off and shredding the camera imbedded in the tree to the ground. He roared back as his body surged with power, his eyes finding an invaluable source for more. For revenge against the humans who stopped him from saving his beloved. His eyes starred at the full moon.
The overbearing rage building inside began to break apart as his eyes rolled back into his head and becoming crimson. His hair was like daggers pointing in the air, his claws grew longer and darker as his body began to bulge and grow. He screamed violently as his transformation began to take hold, his head and body growing up to fifty straight feet in the air reaching the top of the electrified fence.
His mouth had become a long snout filled with rows of long white teeth, his once red fur was dark brown as he roared ripping through the electricity and smashing it between his hands. His son was curled around in his tail but he lowered it down by his dead mate and let him stay by her for awhile longer. But as those humans around him stared in shock as he towered over them all he opened his mouth and let loose a fireball.
He screamed beating his fists on his chest, clearing the ground of tree's and life as he smashed everything in sight. Those human that came armed with rifles and pistols fired upon the giant beast but their bullets bounced off harmlessly as his fur was far too thick for such weak weapons. Goku's transformed state made him unstoppable as he smashed through the park tearing apart buildings and smashing cages of other animals. " DIEEEE!!!!" The giant oozaru yelled letting loose another rain of fireballs down on the ground raising it all up in flames.
" Oh no.... No!!!!" Bardock yelled leaping over the debris as he saw his son tearing everything apart. " No.... im too late!" He said sadly sprinting into the once cage that held him. He smelled human blood and another blood of a quarter demon. His grandson.... He stopped as he came upon a shallow grave holding Chi-Chi and a child who was frightened beyond belief. He dropped down into the small pit picking up the child who instantly began to cry against his robe in fright. He tore off the top of his hood and wrapped him up safely as he had to stop his son and keep the child alive and free.
His could only bite his bottom lip sadly as the knew the poor child had to have endured so much, but as he saw the black claws on his grandson they held traces of blood and flesh. The birth of a partly demon child was not for human's demons should only breed with demon's but it isn't always so. Even his own half demon wife didn't live through the birth.....
************
The citizens ran in terror as the oozaru raged across the land and into the city demolishing everything that it could. Its rage a mere fraction of the pain coursing through its veins. It punched through a building and crushed another with its foot. Its low growl carried for miles as those citizens tried to defend themselves. But their meager weapons were nothing to Goku who simply crushed them like a bug.
But it didn't take long for the military to get involved. Goku's head raised as he heard the low buzzing of what sounded like bugs but became loud roars as nearly a dozen aircraft flew down from the sky their own machine guns opening fire upon him. Goku's thick fur wasn't thick enough as the rounds pierced his flesh but he only roared swinging his fist and smashing one of the planes with his fist. The gasoline and spark from the engine lit his arm on fire but he only beat the flame out with his hand
A loud bang caught him off guard as a line of tanks opened fire nailing Goku in the side as a portion of his side was now an open wound. The smoke from the turrets told him easily what had harmed him. But the demon inside of Goku roared ignoring the pain, he jumped over the buildings let his feet and hands crush the vehicles. He didn't' care for the screams of those inside of them as he wanted them to die for causing him such pain.
But as the aircraft came down again they flew overhead and a loud whistle noise came and Goku was hit by a single three hundred pound bomb. The force knocking him down into the ground, the street crumbling from the sheer weight of Goku's body breaking the concrete with ease. The bomb left a huge gash in his chest as blood poured from the wound but with determination his head raised and fired another ball of fire into the sky. Following more and more repetitive blasts another set of humans moved behind him aiming a bazooka at Goku's back.
The oozaru turned around and could not of stopped the rocket as it slammed into his eye making him topple over a building yelling pain as a bloody hole was now all that remained of his right eye. His hands cupped his face as pain streaked through him. His feet knocked into buildings sending them toppling to the ground as he rolled around writhing in agony as he had three critical wounds.
They did not stop their assault as they carpet bombed the flailing beast with more and more heavy weaponry those humans still arming the bazooka fired more and more rockets drawing out painful cries from the beast until one blast severed his tail and his mouth screamed in rapture, a mix of sheer pain and unrivaled agony. The flailing tail was severed as it frantically beat along the ground before returning to its normal size as Goku groaned his more conscious state returning as he struggled to get to his feet. Blinding pain tore through him as he got to his feet, he could no longer see from one eye, his stomach and chest having two holes in him, his back burned and ripped, and his once proud tail now a bloody stump.
Staggeredly he made his way the bombs and rockets missing him as he struggled to get away and slip into the shadows of the night.
**************
Early the next morning the owner of the park and of the demon child who had torn through the city was up at a podium giving a speech of apology and regret for what had happened. " I and no one here knew of that ability, even those who captured him had never seen such an event. But I assure you that it was not our wishes to see what happened last night." Camera's rolled and flashes of photographers as the story of the month was here.
But one person was there for other reasons...... On top of a building stood the near dead half demon. Goku was nearly dead from the amount of blood he had lost, his face was dried with blood, his hand clutched the wound that still poured blood, how and why he was still alive no one could of known. Except revenge.... His fangs opened as blood that had risen from his stomach coated them. He gave no more concern for himself as he fell from the building slamming hard into the ground and nearly breaking his bones.
Those there screamed as Goku rose from the ground his one good eye covered in crimson blood. " Youuuu......" He growled taking a step at the podium. Those journalists ran in fear leaving the head CEO stuck as the exit was jammed with people leaving only his eight security guards between him and the demon. He staggered towards him, the one good arm cracked as his claws were broken but still sharp. They were still enough to kill..... He began a half run as his legs were having trouble keeping pace.
The guards drew their pistols and fired hitting Goku in the stomach and chest blood ripping through his back but he kept his pace, blood falling from the corner of his mouth as he slashed into one of the guards and ducked kicking one into another. Another bullet shattered his good arm leaving a painful bone splitting break as Goku screamed but threw the fist ignoring the blinding pain as his arm snapped in two.
He lashed with the claws on his feet cutting into one and another before they could reload. Of the two remaining guards one reloaded and the other pulled out a billy club and swung smashing Goku in the side of the face and busting three of his fangs out but he remained standing. His foot drove through his throat and sent him backwards. Goku's face was mangled as he turned to the side and was hit with another bullet this one shooting through his jaw and out his other cheek.
The one good eye widened as he simply dove foreword throwing his weight into the human as he knocked him over and then sunk his teeth into his neck and tore out the throat violently leaving the CEO alone but Goku was barely able to stand let alone move. His revenge so close but he couldn't budge his broken body and he slumped to his knee's.
The CEO let out a breath as he saw that the beast couldn't do anything but roll over and die now. " Well don't worry my prize, i'll have your precious fluids drained and i'll create more of you little demons. With that I can bread little weapons like you for 50 million a piece! Even with your damage you could of destroyed me but the military is far more interested in non-mechanical means of warfare these days and little demon's like you are perfect for that. So don't worry you'll enjoy your legacy." He laughed as Goku could only look up.
A figure behind him approached as a long hooded cloak covered his appearance except for two sets of glowing eyes around his face. " But.... I will not let that happen...." A voice said behind the Ceo and he came face to face with an almost look alike as the hood fell down. Bardock and Goku's one day old son. Two glowing gold eyes and long white claws were met before he could react he was slashed across the throat. Bardock snorted kicking the soon to be dead human away and walked over quickly to his son who fell backwards. " My son... it pains me to see you so." Bardock said as Goku only looked at him unable to form words anymore but his eye told his father everything.
" Yes I am your father... I came to late to save you and your mate. But I promise I will let your son live." Goku's eyes shined with one crystal tear and fell from it as Gohan's arms reached out, his face shedding tears for his father. " Gohan say good-bye..." Bardock said in a low whisper as Gohan hugged his daddy for the first and last time. He pulled Gohan away much to both to the father and son who had not known the other.
" Be good in the afterlife my son. Your mate will need you there, rest in peace my son...." Bardock said as watched Goku's final tear fall before he to succumb to the painless void of death. Bardock pulled out a small canteen of gasoline and dumped it over the body of his son. " Watch Gohan.... this is the final time we will see him again." Bardock closed his eyes with a tear that fell as he struck a match and let it fall. The flames ignited burning the body and any chances of creating true monsters from his son. The flames sparked in both their eyes as it all went up in flame. Bardock moved the hood over his head as the sirens from the outside knowing his time was up. But his son's body would be gone, there was nothing left by the time they would get here. He dropped the container letting the rest burn in flames as he walked out an exit and slipped away.....
He traveled through the alley's going outside of the city and past its protection he walked until he found what he was looking for.... he and his grandson's future lay just beyond the forest.
