Part 4
Impossibly Goku suddenly appeared, grabbing
hold of Gohan and propelling them out of the way of the incoming blasts.
Gohan found himself placed on his
feet.
"Are you alright Gohan?"
Grinning up at his dad he nodded.
"Sure Dad."
Goku's reply was cut off by a shout.
"Shishi Houkadogen!"
Looking up he was a limping and bleeding
Ryoga panting and a pained Jace lying on the ground a few feet away from
them. Ryoga's voice came out as a growl. "Don't pick on the
kid, and fight fair!"
---------------------------
Ryoga had experienced pain before
but this seemed to radiate through his body even worse then anything before.
But he concentrated on it and focused it into his chi so that a red glow
surrounded him.
"Ryoga, no! You're hurt, you
can't."
Turning his head ever so slightly
to the boy he said, "Pain's not always a bad thing, kid."
With that he turned, faced Jace and
put every ounce of his life energy into the blast.
--------------------------
Ryoga seemed to be floating, bright
lights around him. When he heard a voice from somewhere in the mist.
"He doesn't belong here."
"I know Kami, but what do you suggest?"
"Send him on his way. Perhaps, in
time, he will return to his home."
"Perhaps."
