He had to tell Kakarott about himself ..... He would


understand.....


"Kakarott ..." he said firmly and breathed deeply into his false lungs


a.


“Hmm?” Goku brushed his straggly hair off his forehead.


"I want to tell you something ..... but .... I want you to me

take seriously .... "


"I take you seriously!" laughed his counterpart and the happy


Laughter encouraged Vegeta to take the step ....


"I am a cyborg."


Goku froze and looked into the with wide eyes


Mirror.


"Since when?"


"Since I was a little kid ... an accident ... but you could be mine


Save the brain ... and I was rebuilt. "


"A ... cyborg ??" The words flowed like poison over Goku's mouth.


Slowly and tense, he turned around and Vegeta felt cold


crawl.


"Yes." he croaked. He has never had such an expression in Gokus


innocent eyes seen ..... Was that ... hate?


"Why ... didn't you ... tell me that?"


Vegeta felt the urge to storm out of the room when he did


suddenly noticed that Goku with quick and frantic steps


came up to him, his hands clenched into fists


"What is it??C18 is a cyborg too! "Vegeta tried to himself


defend and stumbled back a few steps. Goku didn't stay


standing, getting faster and faster he pursued the fleeing prince


and suddenly grabbed his shoulders .....


"Do you love me?" he asked icily.


"Yes! Of course you Baka!" yelled Vegeta.


Anger flared in Goku's gaze and small veins stood at attention


even skin of his forehead. The eyebrows rose towards you


V twitched over his eyes and he bared his teeth.


"With ..... what ..... heart ...." he hissed.


Vegeta was shivering, sweat running down his face in streams.


"Kakarott ...."


"You need a heart to love! Don't you have it yourself?


whispered, you fake snake ?? "


Vegeta couldn't bring himself to say a word. He didn't recognize Goku


again ..... was that Goku at all? Where was his lover?


Opening his mouth fearfully, Vegeta wanted to say something, but only one

A croak came from his dry throat ...


Who was holding him?


Who was holding him here?


But not Goku ....!


His beloved ... gentle Goku ......


Slowly Vegeta grabbed his chest and fingered the secret,


mechanism hidden under the artificial skin. The


The chest flap jumped open with a whirring sound and stared at Goku


penetrate the prince's mechanical inner workings.


"I had to tell you because I love you ... see?


Here ... this is where my heart beats ... "Vegeta sobbed from his


Tears surprised. Goku let go of Vegeta and gently stroked it


Tangled cables .....


"Your heart ..... you said .... it only beats for me ....


yes ...... you gave it to me, Vegeta ... and I accept it .... "


With a forceful and brutal movement, Goku yanked the mechanical one


Miracle from Vegeta's chest and threw it behind him ...... jingling

it crashed to the ground, splintered into small pieces ......


The box that had kept Vegeta alive for years.


Vegeta hadn't jerked, he stared at Goku with emptiness


Eyes and touched the chest from which only bent


Pieces of metal and smoking cables stood. His mouth closed slowly


up, but not even a silence could be heard ..... Not


once pain was visible in the prince's features. Without a


Word he swayed a bit and then turned with uncertainty


Steps to the door.


"Trunks ..." he shouted ... emotionless ..... Goku was in motion


persists, with which he ripped the heart out of his lover's chest


would have. Vegeta's cold hands rested on the smoking hole


his chest as he took heavy steps towards the door that popped open.


"Father, what ..." Trunks fell silent and saw his father like him

shuffled towards him.


"I ... am .... tired ......" Vegeta said monotonously and his movements


became more dragging ..... slower ... Trunks rushed to him and wanted


support him, all the hatred from the previous day was turned into concern for his father


eaten away. Goten had come in too and was the first to notice


the opening on Vegeta's chest.


"Uncle Vegeta!" he shouted and came to Trunks. Vegeta fended off hers


helping arms weak and struggled a few meters on them


to finally lean on the door jamb. As in


In slow motion he turned his head to the side and smiled at Goku .........


Before he fell into the corridor and lay there motionless.


"Father!" Trunks shouted desperately and knelt next to him to face him


to awaken, even if the tormenting truth rose in his consciousness,


that his father would not wake up anymore ...... Suddenly he gave up

Goten sat down next to him and took Vegeta sobbing into the


Arms ..... Trunks let go of his father's limp body, watched


an expressionless face and mouth half open to Goku himself


pressed against a wall in the back of the room in the shade


and closed his eyes.
