A Hero's Weakness

Chapter 5: Weakness

Goku was now in his own building, designed and made just for him. He was posing in a lion hat for a painter. The painter was painting on their canvas.

Suddenly, Roshi came into the room, "Alright Goku, listen. We have some things you gotta sign, and Mr. Satan wants to raise that deal, and–" "Master Roshi.." Goku frowns.

"Hold still, I'm almost there.." The painter says, trying to add final touches.

Roshi continued to go on, "Then we gotta get those shirts on the road. Then we have to donate to the daycare center. Then we have to–" "Master Roshi..!" Goku sucked the air through his teeth.

"Best thing is that we get to sign some more arms." Roshi smiled to himself. "Master Roshi," Goku's voice got stern and he turned to look at him, "What's the point?!" He threw the props at the painter's canvas, messing it up.

The painter stood for a moment, before tearing it to shreds. "I quit!" He angrily began to leave the room. "Hey hey, where are you going?" Roshi tried to stop the painter, but they threw their pallet on his face.

Roshi huffed, and threw the pallet off his face, then looked at Goku, "What do you mean 'what's the point'? Don't you want to go back to your original planet?"

Goku sat down, and threw off his lion hat, "I don't think I'm getting anywhere." Roshi caught the hat, and wiped his face with it, "I–Listen kid," Roshi sat next to him, "You can't give up now."

"I tried everything, yet, I'm still not 'heroic enough'." Goku looked down and sighed. "Heroic enough? Who told you that? You do know it takes time to achieve things, right?" Roshi crosses his arms.

Goku didn't say anything.

Roshi sighed, "Listen, Goku, you're different from everyone else I trained. You–You aren't the first alien I've trained. But you have potential. You're still standing, the other folks I've trained.." Roshi took a deep breath and sighed again.

Goku looked up, and at Roshi, "You–You think I have potential?" He smiled a bit. "Definitely. You have awesome strength. You can do anything, you just have to wait for the right time." Roshi smiled back at Goku, and patted his knee.

Suddenly, there were squealing girls at the door. Goku and Roshi looked immediately, and they both knew what was coming. "Who let them in here?" Roshi frowned.

Goku got up, and so did Roshi. All the fangirls jumped on Goku, practically tugging on him and his clothes. They were admiring his big muscles and broad shoulders.

Roshi shouted at them, "Hey! Get outta here! You ladies aint supposed to–" "I got his wristband!" A girl squealed on top of Goku, and the other girls, envious, tried to fight for it. Goku was very scared.

The girls jumped on top of Goku, and he tripped. They were stepping all over him. "Master Roshi, help..!" Goku whisper-shouted. "Don't worry, I got ya." Roshi says, as he heads towards the door.

The girls were distracted, so Goku took it as an opportunity to escape. Roshi blew on his whistle. The ladies stopped fighting and looked for Goku, "Hey.. where'd he go?" A fangirl frowned, as they all began to look around for him.

Roshi pointed at the door, "Ladies! I saw Goku head to the garden!" The fangirls squealed immediately and ran out the door. Roshi smirked and shut the door.

Behind the door was ChiChi, who was bothered by what she witnessed.

She walked around looking for Goku, at the same time looking around the place. "Hmm," She saw his boots under the curtain, and smirked.

"I truly wonder what's behind this curtain," She opened it, "Oops." Goku blushed from embarrassment and tried to fix himself. His clothing was tattered a bit by the girls, and his hair looked even more messy somehow.
