And after a final struggle, we were both down. I managed to get up before he did, but then I passed out." Kakarot said. "Chun got up and stayed up, so he won the title of championship." Kakarot said with some regret.
"You were that close, huh?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah..." Kakarot said as if looking out into the distance. "It was a very fun match...and I was THAT close to winning." he said, holding his thumb and finger a hair's breadth apart to emphasize.
"Well, you did manage to get up before he did once, and that's all that matters. It's something you should be very proud of Kakarot." Gohan said.
Kakarot looked into his tea and smiled. "Yeah, I am. And Master Roshi said as much also."
He looked up at them. "I'll beat him for real next time, though. Since I hope I can earn the championship someday."
"You will, I have no doubt about that." Gine said. She thought these competitions were silly but if Kakarot was having fun, then who was she to say so otherwise.
Anyways, she decided not to worry about it anymore and told him to continue with recounting his adventures. But she was in for more worry when Kakarot went on with how he single-handedly brought down a brutal military regime by fighting it all the way to its headquarters in an icy tundra.
He was hesitant at first, but he said that he did indeed kill some soldiers, the Red Ribbon Army as they were called. But that these were very bad men who were murdering innocent people just to claim the Dragon balls. He finished them off after defeating several robots and finally killing the leader, a man named General White.
It was a lot to take in, and the mention of Kakarot actually killing someone made a cold pit open in Gine's stomach. She knew that something like this would happen someday, that Kakarot would get a taste for taking a life one way or another. She hoped it would never happen, but it would be against his Saiyan nature to fight to the death no matter how much she nurtured him. She hated killing, even if she thought they were bad people deserving such a fate. She had seen and participated in far too much of it to take any positive attributions from it. And now her own son had actual blood on his hands.
But... at least the lives he took were those of evil doers. It was a sad solace to her heart, but she would take it. Kakarot assured her that he never wants to kill anybody, but if they were threatening innocents then he would stop them anyway he could, even if it meant deadly force. He even gave one of the robots he was fighting a chance to change their ways, and he ended up befriending it.
That replaced the cold in her with warmth, almost unbelieving at how he could turn a killing machine into a friend. She was even more amazed that humans had the technology to create artificial versions of themselves to bridge the gap in power with a Saiyan. But her son never lied to her, no matter how strange his tales may sound. This planet truly was full of surprises.
Gine said she was happy for him that he did that and gave that machine a chance at life. And the android, Eighter as Kakarot called him, could learn to live a normal life that his creator denied him. She hoped he would.
Moving on to lighter details of his trip, he got to see where Bulma lived at West City, the awesome Capsule Corporation run by her father, and got to see Chi-Chi again. They were now continuing their search for the Dragon balls, and Kakarot was with Chi-Chi just before he arrived, saying he wanted to go visit his mom and grandfather. And here they were now...
"Can you come to the next tournament with me, Mom?" Kakarot asked when he was finished.
Gine suddenly felt uncomfortable at that idea. "Well...I don't know, I mean-"
"Aw, please!" Her son almost begged. "It's really fun! And I wished you were there to see me fight!"
"I know you do sweetie. But...I don't want to fight other people." She said plainly.
Kakarot looked like he couldn't comprehend what she was saying. "But you and Grandpa fight all the time. Why don't you want to fight others?"
"Well...your grandpa is all I need to fight. And you. So, I'm happy with that." Gine answered quickly.
"Not unless you want to learn something new." Gohan commented.
Gine turned to him sharply. "I don't need to!" She didn't need him to argue against her.
She turned back to Kakarot. "Besides, there's work to do here. You may be lucky to go out on your own, bu
t we have chores here to do for the winter."
