"AMI, I'm not going to train today. I'm not feeling too well." Goku said as he finished his soup. Ami looked at him from where she sat across the table.
"You do look a little pale." She said as she stood up to go beside him. She placed a hand on his forehead.
"You feel a little warm, Goku. You should go and take some rest. Do you have some medicine here?" Ami asked him as she started gathering the dirty dishes they had used. She also noted that he only ate a little than his usual food intake.
"Yes. It's in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom." Goku said as he stood up and turned to walk towards the stairs, but was stopped when he suddenly felt lightheaded. He gripped the table to keep himself from falling to the floor.
Ami noticed him so she placed the dishes back on the table and rushed to his side. "Goku? Are you all right?" She asked as she touched his arm softly.
He looked at her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"Do you want me to accompany you to your room? You don't look good to me, to be honest." She offered.
He was about to say no, but there was something in the way she looked at him which made him unable to resist her offer. As to what it was, he wasn't really sure.
"Yeah.. I would appreciate that." He answered.
Ami nodded and assisted him in climbing the stairs. She held on to his arm while they climbed the stairs simultaneously, making Goku feel more lightheaded. Then again, there was something in her touch, or the feel of her skin against his.
They reached his room and Ami helped him in bed and tucked him in while she went inside his private bathroom to check out his medicine cabinet for some antipyretic medications. She found some and took it with her as she exited the bathroom.
"Goku, wait here. I'll just go and get you a glass of water so you can take some medicine." She said to him as she hurriedly left his room. She came back minutes later with a small tray where a glass of water and the medicine both lay. She placed them on his bedside table and helped him sit up on his bed.
"Here, drink this. It should make you feel better." She said as she offered him the medicine. She gave him the glass filled with water afterwards.
"Thank you, Ami." He said to her as she once again helped him lie back down.
She smiled. "You don't have to thank me. This is part of my job description." She answered as she took the tray back and walked towards the door.
"By the way, what do you want to eat later?" She asked.
He smiled. Since she came here, she had been cooking for him and honestly, he loved the way her food tasted. She cooked really good, maybe not as good as Chichi but still, it was another reason for him to admire her. After all, not all girls her age could cook as good as her.
"I'm not very hungry, maybe some soup will do.." He answered.
She nodded. "All right, I'll make you some soup later. I'll just bring it here so you won't have to get up and go down." With that, she exited his room.
ALL throughout the day, Goku just stayed in his room. Ami came over to feed him during lunch and supper, and she also made sure to give him some medicine for him to get better. Deep inside him, Goku appreciated everything that she did for him, even though he knew that it was her job to take care of him since she is his private nurse. After the incident when she was accidentally hurt because he had been rude to her, he had decided to mellow down towards her, and he had begun to notice her good qualities. She worked really hard and she is also efficient, and she is very passionate with her work, he knew that she isn't interested in the money she would get from Bulma alone. Not to mention that she is very kind, and he loved it when she smiled, most of the time it made him smile as well.
"GOODNIGHT, Goku. I'll be leaving you now so you could rest." Ami said to him as she pulled the blanket until his neck, since he complained of feeling rather cold that night. After turning off the light, she left his room to go to her own room.
Ami started to change her clothes so she could go to sleep. She had been very tired, for she spent the whole day taking care of Goku and doing some chores while he slept and rested the whole day. She was actually a little worried about him, since the medication that he took didn't seem to take effect, for he seemed to be getting worse as the day progressed. The truth is, she didn't want to leave him alone, but of course, she also knew that she can't go and sleep in his room.
She had already been lying down for almost an hour when she heard some strange noises coming from his room. She suddenly got up and bolted out of bed to go and check what could possibly be wrong with him.
"Goku? Goku, are you all right?" She called out as she knocked softly. She remembered that she hadn't locked his door so she twisted the doorknob to see how he is doing.
"Oh my!" She gasped when she saw him on the bed, the blanket wrapped around his body while he shivered. She immediately approached him and touched his forehead. She gasped in shock when she discovered that he is burning with fever.
"Oh my god, Goku!" She exclaimed as she went around the room to look for the things that she would need. Funny though, she is a nurse and she had been trained to handle such situations but when she saw Goku in such a state, it seemed that everything she had studied way back in college regarding immediate patient management had all gone to waste. Though she tried to remain calm, she just couldn't, with Goku, she just couldn't keep calm.
She placed the basin filled with water on his bedside table and sat beside him as she started to give him a spongebath. She blushed at the thought of having to undress him so she would have access to his whole body, but she scolded herself secretly, for now is not the time to be feeling such things. Goku is sick, he must be feeling some pain, so he needs to be relieved immediately.
When she had finished wiping up his whole body, she took the new set of clothes she had prepared and started to dress him. Then she wrapped the blanket around him once more while she stayed by his side so she could monitor his condition closely.
"GIVE up, Son Goku! You will never win against a perfect being like me! You will soon be reunited with your family in the afterlife and I will destroy the Earth and all the people once I am finished with you!" Cell yelled as he pushed Goku's strongest Kamehameha with his own counter attack.
Goku was already tired, for Cell had given him a rather tough battle since they started, but he was determined to beat Cell once and for all. After all, he would do it for everyone else, especially for his late family. Goku's eyes widened. His family. Chichi and Gohan both perished because of Cell. Because of this filthy creature in front of him. He must avenge them by conquering Cell and winning the tournament.
"I won't let you succeed, you evil monster!" Goku screamed as he powered up some more and continued pushing his Kamehameha towards Cell.
"Son Goku, you have no chance against me. I am the strongest being in the whole universe and my perfection has no limits. Just accept defeat and accept the fact that you and the people of Earth are going to die together with this planet!" Cell answered back as he also powered up and fired an even bigger Kamehameha towards Goku.
Goku gasped in shock. There's no way he can deflect that huge Kamehameha back. He might be able to hold against it a little, but eventually, Cell would succeed and he, along with the whole planet, will all be obliterated.
"Chichi... Gohan... I'm sorry... I won't be able to avenge you from Cell.. He's just too strong..." Goku whispered as a lone tear fell down his cheek. Soon, he would be reunited with his family in Otherworld.
"What now, Goku? Are you already saying your prayers? Or have you already gone insane because of extreme fear? That's fine though, given that this is the first time you have witnessed such power, which is far greater than Frieza's." Cell said as he laughed menacingly while pushing the Kamehameha towards Goku.
"Goku, you can't give up. Not now..." Tien, who stood by his side and was also severely injured, said.
"He's too strong... I can't.. I can't do something against him..." Goku said hopelessly as he pushed back Cell's Kamehameha blast.
"Surrender and die, Goku!" Cell yelled as he powered up to his maximum and strengthened his blast even further.
Goku looked at Cell's energy blast. "No... I can't beat him... I-It's over..." He said to himself as he prepared to be obliterated along with the whole planet.
As he started to space out, he saw images of Chichi and Gohan smiling at him, which shifted and changed at once, showing them dying at the hands of Cell. He suddenly saw Chichi's almost lifeless form, full of her blood and opening her mouth, as if trying to say something.
"C-Chichi?... Gohan?"
Goku's eyes watered at once as he saw images or rather visions of them. He could clearly see Chichi all bloodied up and gasping for air. Her trembling form struggled to face his direction, and she looked at him straight in his eyes.
"P-Promise me Goku... Promise me that you will beat... Cell..." She said in between labored breaths. After that, her horribly mutilated body collapsed back to the ground softly, her body convulsing and wriggling violently while her eyes remained wide open. Her body shook wildly for a few minutes before she became deathly still.
"Chichi!" He screamed as his tears fell down his cheeks. He wanted to touch her but he couldn't.
"Promise me Goku... Promise me that you will beat him..." He clearly remembered her last words.
"I... Promise... I will beat Cell.. For you and for Gohan..."
Goku's eyes suddenly widened, it seemed that he had just woken up from a dream. Did he really fell asleep during this time? Or was it all his imagination? But it didn't matter now, for all that mattered to him is the last conversation he had with his wife before she died.
"I can't let him win... I have to beat him!" He screamed. He felt a surge of power going through him as determination to beat the monster Cell filled him as well. He had to fulfill his promise and avenge his family, as well as protect Earth and its inhabitants.
His aura flared to life as he screamed, his power level rising to new heights. He didn't know where his newfound power came, but he was quite thankful for it, for that's just what he needed to beat Cell.
"Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Haaaaaaaaaa!" With that, he released his fully powered attack towards Cell's own blast.
"No... No... How can that be? He was already weak..." Cell gasped in shock as Goku's own Kamehameha started to overpower his own.
Goku slowly walked towards Cell, tears flowing from his eyes as he did. Apparently, he didn't know that his appearance had changed, and that he had ascended to another level of Super Saiyan as he struggled against their battle. All he cared for at that moment is to beat Cell and put an end to all of his evil ways.
"This is for Chichi and Gohan... And for my unborn son... And to all the people of Earth whom you killed!" Goku said to Cell who began to disintegrate as the Kamehameha he released earlier slowly overpowered the monster and his attack.
"No... No! This cannot be happening! I am the strongest being in the universe and my perfection has no limits! I cannot be overpowered by a mere Saiyan!" Those were Cell's last words as Goku's energy blast obliterated him and destroyed every single cell in his so called perfect body.
Goku sank to his knees, his sweat and tears falling on the ground as he watched Cell meet his death. "I-It's all over... I have beaten him... I beat Cell..."
GOKU'S eyes fluttered and he opened them. He groggily looked to check his surroundings. He felt very cold, and he could not control his body from shivering. He was about to pull the blanket and cover his whole body as he curled up on his bed, but somebody already did it for him. Curiously, he looked at the person who is with him at that moment.
"A-Ami?" He whispered as he caught a glimpse of her face hovering above him, concern written all over her features.
"Yes, Goku. I'm here. What is it? Do you want something?" Ami asked as she brushed a few strands of his hair away from his forehead.
"J-Just stay... Don't leave me.. Please." Goku replied, much to her surprise. He was sweating profusely and he looked really helpless. The sight became too much for Ami and she held his shivering form closer and wrapped her arms around him in an attempt to keep him warm. A few moments ago, he kept tossing and turning while he slept, as if he was having a bad dream. Ami was worried so she stayed by his side instead of going back to her designated room so she could get some sleep. She couldn't really explain, but she knew that her concern for him is not just because of the fact that she is his nurse and she had been assigned to take care of him. Deep inside her, she knew that there is something else; something that is much, much deeper where her concern for him is coming from.
"I'll never leave you, Goku... I'll stay by your side... Always..." She whispered as she hugged him tightly while softly brushing his hair with her fingers. A few moments later, his shivering lessened and he became still as he slept peacefully, while Ami herself fell asleep as well, her arms still wrapped around him.
