Chapter Fourteen: Kin, Kid When We Stand Alone

 

West City was dark and wet from the previous storm from the night before this one. It was about 10 o'clock 17 walked down an alley occupied with stinky garbage and stray cats.

 

“What am I going to do? I can't possibly keep these roles up, without Juu.” A sigh was the next sound except for the meows from random cats. The exit of the alley was straight ahead, the red brick building the Restaurant. The Restaurant closed its doors two years ago but the old man lets fallen gang members stay there all they have to do is pay there rent.

 

17 smelled an unusual stench but he remembered the smell, he couldn't remember where. As 17 came closer and closer to the exit of the alley the smell worsen, he started to gag and cough up blood. When he stopped coughing the smell dissipated and in an instant a loud boom occurred. It sounded like an explosion. 17 felt an awful chill through his spine. He looked towards the Restaurant and saw two shadows fade away from the red brick building. That's when the flames started to disperse.

 

Flashback

 

“Family's very important.”

 

End Flashback

 

“Oh God.” 17 ran to the building he remembered the meeting and the plans to take Marker's family out. The front door was locked and he could see the flames quickly spreading. “Hey fire! Fire!” He yelled up to the tenants. A few lights were on a sign that others were inside. To the side of the building was a door he ran to that side and touched to knob, the heat stung him so he kicked the door open. He ran to the second floor and knocked on every door. “Fire! Get out!” 17 yelled again. People came out their doors in crowds and ran towards the door. “Is there anyone else?” 17 asked the few that were still helping their families out the burning building. No one answered so he went up the next flight of stairs.

 

“Anyone up here.” He knocked on all the doors like he did the flight before. In one apartment her heard screams of an elder lady and kicked open her door. In her apartment was where he saw the most flames. The inferno was still quickly spreading. She ran out the door. “Hey Ma'am is there anyone else on this floor?”

 

“Yes a young boy in that one.” She point to the one across from hers. The elderly lady sped down the hall and down the stairs not looking back, this left 17 alone in this hall. He knew that this has to be the child of Goku and Raveness, if he lets this little one die…

 

“Screw it.” 17 pound his body into the door with his whole body. He could hear some of the locks snapping with every strike. With one final blow the door plummeted over. The flames burst into the hall. Inside the flames engulfed the floor and walls. 17 only imaged the Inferno it self to contain countless numbers of flames. “Hey kid.” He yelled from the busted door.

 

17 dove into the apartment and found the child sitting in the middle of the blaze. “Hey kid.” No answer, this child did even cough from smoke inhalation nor was the child crying. He just sat there. “Kid.” 17 ran to the child and picked him up. No reaction just a stare from his onyx eyes. 17 couldn't understand why this child didn't say anything. “To be a child.” 17 wrapped the child in his arms with that he ran through the blaze to the hall and ran down a flight of stairs then suddenly the worse happened beams of wood crashed into the path of the top of the second floor. 17 will have to get this child out or they'll both die.

 

Outside

 

“Where is he?” Chi Chi roared through the crowd that watched their possessions burn down to ashes.

 

“Your son is inside, a young man with black hair and I think he had blue eyes is in there with him.” The old woman confessed ashamed that she ran away.

 

“Blue eyes?” Chi Chi asked in confusion. “Raditiz doesn't have blue eyes.” She whispered to herself.

 

“Chi what happened.” Chi Chi's eyes grew larger than ever. Why would Raditiz leave her child inside a burning building?

 

“What are you doing down here? Get my son.” Chi Chi yelled hysterically.

 

“Someone call the fire department.” Raditiz couldn't believe the horror. He ran to the side of the Restaurant and once the smoke forced it's way into his lungs he fell to the ground and passed out. The men of the crowd dragged him away and placed him across the street on the grass where onlookers fix their eyes on the event.

 

Next came a moment of hope a chair came crashing out the second floor window. “Catch him.” The man with the blue eyes yelled from the window to the crowd. The men of the complex gathered around the window.

 

“My baby.” 17 looked down to the men.

 

“This will be cool just close your eyes. Okay.” He picked the boy back up and wrapped the boy in the black shirt he ripped off. “Whatever you do don't open them until you in someone else arms.” The boy shut his eyes tightly and shook his head to agree.

 

“You ready?” A man from the ground yelled up to 17.

 

“Yeah!” The boy still had his eyes closed, to be a child. He dropped the boy into the pile of men below him, one man ran the boy over to his mother.

 

“Hey you it's okay fall.” 17 looked back at the flames. The heat suddenly increased. The ambulance, fire, and police were on their way. 17 fell faint from the shattered window to the hands of the men below.

 

When 17 came to he was wrapped in a blanket and Raveness stood over him. She was surprised and disappointed at the same time.

 

“I know who you are.” Raveness looked down to 17. Still out of tune from what happened he stared at her and thought he was in a nightmare. “I'm talking to you.” She slapped 17 and he came back into reality. “We need to talk.” She stared into his eyes. “You almost died saving my son I want to know why. Aren't you Killa's brother?”

 

“It depends.”

 

“Don't play me like a fool. Are you or are you not?”

 

“I am.”

 

“Then why would you save my son?”

 

“I didn't I always wanted to throw a kid out a window.” Chi Chi slapped him again.

 

“That was a great thing for you to do, very noble.” Chi Chi congratulated 17.

 

“I don't want your respect. I don't see anything noble about that. I threw your child out a window so what it saved him.” He gave Chi Chi the cold shoulder.

 

“You're an idiot.” They stayed sitting on the grass and watch the flames being sprayed down by the firemen's hoses. “Funny how you were the only one close to the Restaurant.” She lifted her eyebrow and turned 17's way.

 

“You're trying to accuse me.”

 

“No I was just saying…” She was cut off by he brother in-law.

 

“Can't ya'll see this is the work of Slayer. The nice fireman over there said there was no evidence, none inside or out.” Raditiz sat next to his nephew. “Defiantly the work of Vegeta, but something is strange why would he go back to a Mid-Cytez technique, and no one in the Restaurant died. You were able to walk in.” Raditiz pointed to 17. “If Slayer did do this he would have made the gas way above the toxic level. The fire would have been much faster and everyone in the building would've died from the gas alone.”

 

“I have to go.” Chi Chi stood up.

 

“Are you taking Gohan?”

 

“No, I have things to do. The old man will take care of ya'll. I trust you, I also will have to deal with you at another time Rad.” She gave her son a kiss.

 

“Where are you going?” Raditiz asked.

 

“To find dofus and Vegeta.”

 

“But we really don't know if…”

 

“Shh I won't hear it. I just want to ask questions.” They looked over to the side Chi Chi's sat and saw that 17 was gone. “You know for a second when he stood up there with Gohan I thought he was an angel.” Chi Chi looked to her son waved good-bye and walked away.

 

Meanwhile

 

17 ran all the way to the Garage. He slammed the door behind him dripping in a cold sweat. “Did that boy want to die?” 17 needed to call his sister; he picked up his phone and started to dial. “Hey Juu.”

“Hump.” She sounded a little standoffish.

“What?”

“Nothing 17 I want to come back.”

“No you can't. You're going to prepare that child.”

Whatever…so what have you been up to? You don't look all to great.”

“I just saved a child from a fire. You wouldn't believe what building went down.”

“What was it?”

“The Restaurant.”

“Was R-5 enforced, who did it?”

“Marker thinks its Slayer. It's a Bardock mix…Yeah. So Marker threw Slayer's name in it, but something is wrong. You there.”

“Yeah keep going.”

“Bardock's gas would kill anything 25 to 50 feet. Oh yeah the kid I saved was Raveness and Goku's child.

“Never would've guess they'd have a child together. 17 I'm coming home I made up my mind. I don't want to have this child.”

“You sound like a child. 18 you're having this child. I do think that Krillen would be upset if he had a child and then the mother got rid of it. You know he has always wanted a kid.”

“You told.”

“No but Krillen is a phone call away.”

“You wouldn't dare.”

“Let this child grow. You don't know what I went through with that child 18. He acted like he wanted to die. This child wasn't but I was. Please don't let this baby go.”

“17 don't call here again. Bye.” 17 looked at the phone confused.

 

“And I thought I had lost it.” He looked to the plaid loveseat and had one thing on his mind sleep. His thoughts drifted away and he entered into what seemed to be a dream.

 

He stood at the top of a building where he oversaw other buildings and a particular street Ylm. There was one person fighting an opposing side. The others staggered and watched. He turned his head when a sound of a click entered his ears. Tien stood next to 17 and had 17 at gunpoint. 17 fell to his knees. Spike, Krillen, and 18 leaped to the building. Tien held up his gun to them and they all disappeared. Tien then converted his attention to 17 again. He yelled to 17 “count them” 17 stared up the barrel of the gun he then disappeared also.

 

When 17 woke up he laid on the floor sweating again. The golden beams slammed onto his eyes through the window.

 

“This dream means nothing.” He tried to convince himself. “It means nothing.” 17 repeated.
