11th chapter


Son Goku sweat ran from his forehead and he gasped for air. Eventually he reverted to normal Saiyan status. "Shit! I just can't ... stay ... an hour ... in the sixth level!" he said aloud and sank to his knees because the gravity was pretty high. He tried again to get Super Saiyan status, but failed. Panting, he crawled along the floor to the control panel to lower gravity there. When he had set gravity to 0, he rested for a few minutes and then went out of the gravity room and ran straight into Son Gohan's arms. "Oh, father! I just wanted to see how you are and whether you are already done with your training!" Son Goku was stunned to see his son. He had hardly changed. Son Goku's fatherly feelings went through with him again and he hugged his son very tightly so that he could hardly breathe. "Father! Lu ... AIR!" Son Gohan gasped and waved his arms hopelessly.Son Goku let go of him and looked at him with tired and weak eyes. "Say, father! What about you? You look so weak," said Gohan, worried. And as if answering his question, Son Goku suddenly bent away and landed on his knees on the lawn. "FATHER!!!" called Gohan. He helped his father back on his feet and walked slowly with him into the house, who put him there on the couch. Malia, who was just about to paint a picture, jumped up and ran to her father. "DAD! What's wrong?" she exclaimed in horror. "Malia, bring your father something to drink!" said Gohan sharply. "But ..." "No buts! MAKE NOW !!!" Malia had tears in her eyes, which she swallowed again and went into the kitchen. Shortly afterwards she came back with a cold bottle of soda. Son Goku thanks him with a quiet "Thank you, my darling!", Took the bottle and emptied it in one gulp. "Ah! I'm better now! Thanks, Malia!" said Son Goku and handed the bottle back to the astonished Malia.While Malia put the empty soda back in the kitchen, Gohan chatted exuberantly with his father. “And how is Videl?” Son Gohan blushed a bit and said: “Um, well, she ... um ... is pregnant and that's why she didn't want to go!” Son Goku hit Gohan on the back and said aloud: "Hey! Congratulations my son! Are you going to be father soon?" Embarrassed, Son Gohan scratched the back of his head and smiled at his father. "By the way, how's your training going?" said Son Goku. Son Gohan looked at the floor and then said: "Well. I haven't actually trained at all lately! The last time I trained two years ago!" Son Goku considered. Then he said: "The best thing to do is stay with me for a few weeks, how about?" "And what do I do with Videl?" asked Gohan. ".......... She's coming with me!" said Son Goku. Gohan just shrugged his shoulders and disappeared and came back with Videl after half an hour. "Hello, Videl! How are you and your child?" said Son Goku, pointing to Videl's stomach.Videl blushed and said, “I'm fine, thank you!” Son Goku looked at her, but suddenly he collapsed. Gohan rushed to his father and said: "Father! Are you all right? Shall I bring you something?" But when Gohan turned his father around, he saw that he had closed his eyes. "I'll bring him into the house!" said Gohan, picked up his father (although he had to use a bit of strength because Goku was quite heavy[and not just from eating!]) and brought him into his bedroom.


After an hour, Gohan came into the room and checked on his father. He was bathed in sweat in bed with a contorted face. Obviously he was in pain. Gohan felt his forehead and pulled it away again immediately. "His forehead is very hot. Can you bring him a cold washcloth please, honey?" said Gohan to Videl, who agreed and came back a few minutes later with a bowl of cold water and a washcloth.Gohan put the cold washcloth on Son Goku's forehead and then sat down on a chair.


When ChiChi got home, she nearly blew up when she found out that Goku was sick. "WAAAAAAASSS ?? SON GOKU, MY SWEET, MY HUSBAND, MY FAVORITE, IS SICK, AND YOU'RE ONLY SAYING THAT? But ChiChi said nothing more, she was already in Son Goku's room. She sat down next to her husband with folded hands and looking at Son Goku with watery eyes. "Son Goku !?" ChiChi said softly and stroked Son Goku's hair. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at ChiChi. "ChiChi?" he gasped softly. "Yes, I'm with you, my darling!" she said, got up, took the washcloth and immersed it in cold water again.




"Mom? Will dad get well again?" Malia ChiChi asked. "Yes, yes, my darling!" she said soothingly and put her hand on Malia's head. Five hours had passed since Son Goku collapsed and his fever was rising by the hour.'If a doctor doesn't come soon, he'll die!' ChiChi thought anxiously. "Tell me, mother," said Gohan. "Why don't we just give father a magic bean?" "Because it's no good!" a familiar, hard voice intervened. "Vegeta, you here?" asked Gohan, amazed. "At the request of a certain person!" said Vegeta grimly. And behind him Bulma appeared with a smile. "And why doesn't it work?" asked Gohan. "Because the beans are only there for injuries and not for diseases!" Vegeta replied harshly. "Then it's time to wait and drink tea!" ChiChi pressed a handkerchief to her mouth, began to sob and rushed out of the room, crying. Bulma looked after her sadly. "Vegeta, will you stay with Son Gohan and Son Goku for a while? I'm going to ChiChi." And before Vegeta could say anything, Bulma had rushed out of the room. Vegeta crouched down on a stool, insulted, and looked at his archenemy in silence.Son Gohan said nothing about the whole time until Bulma came into the room and said: "Son Gohan, come on, ChiChi wants to talk to you!" Son Gohan nodded and left the room. Vegeta looked after him grimly, looked at Son Goku and then went to the door after a minute to listen. He heard Gohan. "WHAT? Mother, that ... you can't do that. Please don't! You have to stay with us. Besides, who should take care of Malia?" ChiChi interrupted him. "DAMN IT! DON'T YOU LISTEN? I said if Goku died !!!!!" "NO MOTHER !!! I DON'T DO THAT !!!" "Why?" "Are you crazy? I don't do that I already had to kill father. That was enough for me !!! "Angry, Son Gohan left the kitchen, went into his room and slammed the door. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Bulma opened it. "Oh, hello Son Goten!" said Bulma. "What's going on? You look so weird. Has what happened?" then asked Son Goten in a firm voice. Bulma briefly told him what was going on and Son Goten was already upstairs in Son Goku's room.After a few minutes, Son Goten came out of the room pale, followed by Vegeta. He came into the kitchen. Bulma looked at him and then asked, "Son Goten ... what ... what's going on? Has something happened, Vegeta?" Son Goten couldn't answer. He just sat in a chair and stared at the floor. A terrible thought occurred to Bulma. "Is Son Goku ... is he ...?" Vegeta finished the sentence. "When Son Goten came into the room, Kakarott was no longer breathing! He - is - dead!" Bulma opened her mouth and couldn't utter a sound. Immediately afterwards there was a loud scream and a slight rumble. "Hm ... that was ChiChi. She collapsed." Vegeta said scornfully. When Bulma came up she saw Malia standing in front of the door. Bulma went into the room and saw ChiChi lying on the floor. Bulma picked up ChiChi and sat her on a chair. Then she looked at Son Goku for a while. Mute tears ran down her cheeks. But suddenly she saw that Son Goku had moved a bit.Then - and it was no imagination - Son Goku opened his eyes and looked Bulma in the face. "Bulma!" he said softly. "SON GOKU! We thought you were dead!" He straightened up a little and saw that ChiChi was passed out. "ChiChi! What about her?" asked Son Goku. “When she saw that you were no longer breathing, she collapsed!” Son Goku wanted to get out of bed and go to ChiChi, but Bulma held him back. "She'll be fine. You'd better stay in bed a little longer!" So Son Goku stayed where he was. Then a pale-faced little person came into the room. "Dad? Are you well again?" asked Malia. Son Goku picked her up. Malia snuggled into her father's arms and closed her eyes. Son Goku looked up again with a sad look. If the others knew what he had dreamed, they would definitely freak out.




That same evening a doctor came to Son Goku and examined him. ChiChi, Malia, Son Gohan, Videl and Son Goten had to wait in front of the room."Well, that's how it looks!" said the doctor. "Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you have to part with your hard training for four months. If you overexert yourself again, you will have to die. And you don't want that, do you?" Son Goku shook his head. When the doctor got up to leave, Son Goku stopped him. "Doctor! Please don't tell my family anything! I want to tell you myself, okay?" He nodded and added: "I have medical confidentiality. That's why I don't tell anyone anything." "Thank you!" The doctor nodded and went out of the room. Son Goku heard the doctor say that his family shouldn't have to worry and that he would soon be back on track.


But he, Son Goku, was the only one who knew that this was not true.


That night he dreamed again what he had dreamed when he was seemingly dead.




Son Goku walked down a long path without even knowing where he was.It wasn't the afterlife, it looked different. It was black around him. Only at the end of the path did he see a little white light. Although he was running very fast, he had the feeling that the light was moving further and further away. And suddenly he heard a voice. "Son Goku! Your time has not come! In three years, however, you will die. It is a natural death. So prepare for it. You know that the Dragon Balls will not bring you back. So, when." the time is ripe, then say goodbye to your family and friends. I hope you understood me! "" I understood you! " said Goku softly. The voice disappeared and Son Goku had the feeling of falling into nowhere.




He woke up with a cold sweat on his
