Chapter Sixteen- Final Battle
Author's Note- This is the last chapter... thanks for all your support... I hope you enjoy it.
In the morning, Nerissa's energy and strength has returned. She watches as Vegeta trains with a young Trunks. Vegeta sees her watching from the window and ends the training. Vegeta goes to talk to Nerissa.
"You look pale."
"I know."
"You will be fine. I won't let Cooler get to you."
"You act so differently towards me."
"You should be resting." Vegeta takes her hand and sits her down on the couch.
"You're worse than Piccolo."
"Someone has to lookout for you. Do you want something to eat?"
"Sure."
In the evening, Piccolo returns to find Nerissa asleep bundled up in Vegeta's protective arms. Vegeta puts his finger to his lips to hush the Namek. Piccolo glares at Vegeta, his glare has all the words he needs. Nerissa wakes sensing her lover's presence.
"I finally got you to sleep." Vegeta sighs.
"I hope I didn't interrupt something." Piccolo continues his stare.
"I missed you Piccolo!" Nerissa stands tossing the blankets aside.
"Nerissa, you should be resting!" Vegeta warns.
"Thank you, Vegeta. You can leave." Piccolo says with spite.
"Nerissa, you've been sick and feverish all day! Who was here to take care of you?" Vegeta storms out.
"You've been ill? Lie down." Piccolo lies Nerissa back down on the bed, "I should have been here."
"You did what you needed to do. I'm fine." Nerissa whispers.
"I promised I would protect and provide for you! I was gone when you needed me most!"
"Don't worry, it was only a little sickness. It will be the same tomorrow and the next day and probably the next."
"I forgot I was gone, but a day. It feels like an eternity since I've seen you!"
"Poor baby. Come sit." Nerissa pats the bed.
Piccolo sits beside her, "I have reached the next level."
"I know." Nerissa smiles.
"Sleep. I will meditate by your side."
Later that month, the child is born. The child looks almost pure human except for the pointed eats and mysteriously dark eyes. Bulma observes the baby boy as Goku stroke the boy's silver hair.
Bulma looks to Goku and whispers, "Thank goodness he got Nerissa's looks."
Piccolo enters the room, "I agree."
Bulma whips around her face red with embarrassment, "I didn't… I mean…"
"It's alright Bulma. So how is he doing?"
"He's fine. How's Nerissa?" Bulma asks.
Piccolo closes his eyes, shaking his head, you could just barely see a tear in his eye, "She's gone into a deep coma."
"I'm sorry, Piccolo." Bulma leaves Goku and Piccolo alone.
"Piccolo, she'll be fine." Goku says taking his dear friend by the shoulder, the same man who once wanted him dead.
"Can you feel his power? It is so amazing how much power he has." Piccolo lets the small child grab at his hand.
"Are you alright?" Goku asks sensing his friend's avoidance.
"I'm worried." Piccolo continues to look at his son and avoid Goku's stare.
"About Nerissa?"
"Yes."
Goku seeing the pain the topic is bring Piccolo, asks, "Do you think he'll come today?"
"If he's smart, he'll wait. I'm in no mood for him!"
Goku shakes his head, "You must keep a clear head, Piccolo. You know better than to let emotions get involved."
"My son and wife are in danger. I know what I need to do but I can't! The moment I met Nerissa, my life changed. They are the only things that matter to me. I never thought I could feel so passionate about anything other than fighting!"
"Piccolo, focus." Goku looks at the Namek shocked by his passionate speech.
"Goku, guard my son. I have to return to Nerissa." Piccolo returns to Nerissa's side.
Nerissa is in the sick room, lying in a deep sleep. Vegeta has been watching her while Piccolo went to see his son. It seems the two have reached an understanding. Vegeta hands the wet cloth to Piccolo.
"I'll watch for Cooler." Vegeta leaves closing the door.
"Thank you, Vegeta." Piccolo mumbles, still not able to truly thank the prince to his face.
Piccolo sits in the chair beside the bed and continues to wet her brow with the cloth.
"Why won't you wake?" Piccolo asks, almost expecting her to answer, "I need you… our son needs you."
Cooler enters with an evil smirk on his face, "Poor Namek, all alone. I have decided to take my queen, first."
"No way in hell I'm letting you take her!" Piccolo stands confronting Cooler.
"Do you really think you have a choice?"
Vegeta comes in surrounding Cooler, "I won't let you take Nerissa!"
"Just like, Kira? You did a great job protecting her. Come to think of it, Nerissa reminds me of Princess Kira."
"Shut up! You will not get Nerissa!"
Goku walks in carrying Piccolo and Nerissa's son, "I don't think the boy likes you threatening his mother."
"The child! Keep it away!" Cooler backs off frightened.
Vegeta cackles, "The great Cooler is afraid of a small boy!"
Cooler aims a blast at Piccolo and Nerissa. Vegeta jumps in front of it to block it. The child's dark eyes glow silver and he sends a beam of silver light through Cooler, killing him. Then the baby's eyes return to normal and he coos in delight.
Piccolo looks at the remains of Cooler, "Wow."
"Do you mind helping me?" Vegeta groans.
"Why did you take the blast?" Piccolo asks.
"I couldn't let him kill Kira."
"You mean Nerissa?" Piccolo helps Vegeta up.
"That is what I said."
"I don't know who Kira was… but… thank you."
"I didn't do it for you, Namek!" Vegeta pulls away and limps out.
"Goku, let me see my son."
Goku hands Piccolo the boy. Piccolo clumsily cradles the boy.
Piccolo smiles down at the boy, "Let us see your mother."
Piccolo sits down back by Nerissa, "He's handsome, Nerissa. I wish you could see him."
"Do you want to be alone?" Goku asks Piccolo.
"Yes, please."
Goku leaves Piccolo with Nerissa and the child.
"Nerissa please wake." Piccolo watches as the boy squirms in his arms and reaches for Nerissa, "You want your mother, don't you?"
"Ma, gurgle, goo… fa." The child squirms so much that Piccolo is forced to set him down on Nerissa.
The boy's eyes glow silver, once again. Nerissa wakes and sitting up, scoops the boy in his arms. Piccolo wraps his arm around Nerissa as he sits in the bed beside her.
"You okay?"
"Yes, he is so beautiful!"
"I thought so, too. He needs a name." Piccolo kisses Nerissa on the cheek.
"Iustus."
"As in just… It's wonderful."
"Do you like it, Iustus?" Nerissa asks and Iustus coos in delight.
Iustus continues to coo as his mother cradles him.
"Cooler is dead?"
"Yes."
Vegeta comes limping in, "I see you are awake."
"What happened to you, Vegeta?" Nerissa asks curious.
Piccolo expected Vegeta to take credit for saving them but Vegeta simply said, "I righted a past wrong."
Vegeta is talking of Kira, someone he once loved and Cooler wanted. Cooler tried to take her but when Vegeta interfered Kira was killed.
"Did you meet Iustus?" Nerissa holds up the small boy.
"Yes, that is a strong name… for the one who killed Cooler." Vegeta grins.
Cooler has been defeated. Piccolo and Nerissa have their hands full with an extremely powerful child and Vegeta has conquered his past, at least part of it. Now, Piccolo must conquer a beast worse than Cooler… the beast of fatherhood. Can Piccolo become a good father? Use your imagination… because that is the end.
