A Hero's Weakness

Chapter 2: Boo-ku

Goku was now 16 years old, and he was dashing his grandfather, who was in the carriage, to the market. Instead of there being a horse, Goku was replacing the horse.

"G-Goku! Slow down! We have all the time in the world!" Shouts Gohan. "Huh? Oh–Sorry Grandpa!" Goku came to a sudden halt, but due to his speed and strength, he sank to the ground.

"Oops.." Goku chuckled, as he let go of the rods and got out of the ground casually. "You okay Grandpa?" He asks, turning to see his grandpa heavily breathing.

"Goku, I told you about this.." Gohan breathed, as he jumped out of his seat. Goku rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry Grandpa.." "You say this all the time, please, let's try to not do this again.." Gohan then walked towards the market and looked back at Goku, "Stay here. I don't need you horsing around."

Goku gave him a thumbs up. Gohan sighed, and turned his head around and continued to walk to the market.

Goku was bored, and began to whistle to himself. "Goku! Get that!" Yells a boy around his age. Goku saw the frisbee heading his direction.

"Don't worry guys, I got it–Woah!" Goku jumped and caught the frisbee, but landed on one of the poles of the area. "Uh oh.."

Goku was aware he was considered stronger than others, and different from others. He had a tail, and was also considered a freak.

He watched as the pole was tilting slowly, and gulped. "I got this..!" He picked it up, but it swung and knocked over the other one. "Oh crap..!"

The pole knocked over the other poles, and the crowd watching was shocked and angered.

"Don't worry guys! Trust me, I got–" Goku tried to keep up with the poles, but they kept falling over like dominoes.

A man who kept vases as luxury was in his little place, which was in the middle of the destruction. He shuddered, and held all of his vases close. He looked up, and saw that it stopped in his place. He sighed in relief.

Goku tripped on air, and slid on his bottom towards the old man, "Ahhh! Look out!" He yelled as the other man's eyes widened and they crashed into each other, causing the man to crash in the back of his place, and it all fell on the both of them.

Everyone watched in worry. Then, Goku lifted up the piece of the roof that fell on him and the man. "I'm sorry, are you–" "You damn freak!" The man shouted angrily at Goku, "Look at what you've done!"

Goku looked around and grimaced at the destruction he caused.

Everyone started coming up to him and shouted at him.

"Freak!"

"You don't belong here!"

"You're a monster!"

"You ruin everything!"

Goku didn't usually take them to heart, but they still made him a little upset. "Guys, please!" Gohan squeezed through the crowd and went in front of Goku with his hand.

"Gohan, your grandson is a freak!" Says a woman. "Yeah! Take him far away from here! He doesn't belong." A man says.

"I'm–" Gohan was cut off by the same man who was saved from Goku, "Your grandson is a freak, Gohan! Get this kid away from here! He might as well be an alien!"

"Clearly, he has a tail!" A woman points, causing Goku to look away in shame. "Marsha, please–" Gohan tried to defend Goku, "He's–He's only a boy!"

"Get that boy away from here!" The man who was saved stomped away. The rest of the crowd cleared.

Goku still had the frisbee in his hand. "Thanks a bunch, Boo-ku." The teen snatches the frisbee from his hand.
