The Saiyan Bond

Cope and search

((So I'm still trying to figure out who killed Gohan and does anyone have suggestions because I'm so lost. Someone suggested I kill a main character but I didn't think far enough to figure out who kills the character.
Vegeta pov
I've never seen trunks this way. He refused my consolation and I'm behind him throughout tonight as we search, but I keep my distance safely, I want him to know I'm here but I don't want him to be anymore irritated than he already is.
I watch as he recklessly tears through bushes and trees and slams rocks open, his eyes are blazing and he's panting heavily.
I fly up high and search the skies, it's too dark to see any threatening visitors.
The trees are thick and the forest is more difficult. I turn to see android 18 and she hands me a massive flashlight, she tosses one down to trunks who catches it with a growl.
I turn it on and suddenly it's like I'm holding the sun.
Swaying the light through the area, I see nothing, but my eyes catch site of something that glints in a grass clearing.
I hover down and land softly, looking at the blood. It's a puddle, really. It's a lot, too much to be gohans especially so far away. I make a 360 with my eyes, I can't see anyone.
I bend back down and touch the red liquid.
It's still warm. It must be the culprits, and it means he's still on the planet.
I whip around at the crack of a twig and relax when I realize it's Trunks.
"Is it Gohans?" He says gruffly.
I shake my head.
"Its impossible that it would be. Too much of it, too far from where he... and it's still warm so I believe it's the killers blood."
Trunks clicks his tongue and shines the light on the blood, looking for a direction which it came. He points north and trudges forward, following small drops in the grass into the forest.
I stand and rub my sore shoulder from slamming onto it when I saw Gohan. I lost all sense and ran without thinking.
Kakarot is out farther on the planet, looking. Goten is looking with Okaru. We made rules that no one looks alone so I sent piccolo with Kakarot.
Okaru pov
Goten continues to tremble, he's sniffling and crying, struggling to stand straight, and when I ask if he wants to rest he shakes his head and points on.
"Goten."
"What."
"I know he was your brother. And I want you to know that I understand the pain you are going through right now. I also want you to know that throughout the rest of our lives I will be by your side no matter what, to support you. Do you understand?"
Goten nods and sighs, he stops and turns to me and spreads his arms out to my shoulders and I pick him up into a tight hug.
He whimpers and his chest trembles as he cries into my shoulder once again.
I pet his head gently making soothing sounds so as to keep him calm and he grips my shirt tighter.
"I just-we were-we didn't know-we couldn't do anything-and-and he's gone, and we-we-we have to defeat beerus, otherwise we won't have earth, and if we don't have earth we don't have the dragon balls, and that means-" his breath hitches and his grip on me tightens and so does mine.
"He won't come back..." he finishes and sobs louder onto my shoulder.
"Goten, we need to believe in Kakarot and the prince now. We need to give them all our hope so we can bring Gohan back. But first, in order to assure no one else gets hurt we have to find this murderous being who invaded our space and killed someone so precious."
Goten nods, my sleeve is wet and he sniffles, I set him down and his eyes search mine pleadingly and I nod.
"We will find this killer"
Kakarot pov
I have so many villains running through my mind, who could have done this? Gohan has no enemies. Cell? No cell is dead. The future androids? No they're dead as well. Abban? Hell no, he's demolished. Radditz? That's impossible. Frieza? No, he has nothing against Gohan. Cooler? No same thing as frieza. My fists clench.
"Who could have done this every one we have fought is running through my mind and I can't think of-"
"Perhaps this is a new villain Goku, we can't expect old rivals to always appear before us."
Piccolos voice calms me down slightly and he turns his head downwards.
"I believe this killer had a sword of some sort, it was most definitely a sword wound to Gohans chest. That considered, they aren't the most strongest if they need a weapon in order to fight."
I nod and move forward.
I shine down and spot something out of place.
A...I move closer, a...cape?
A soft black cape rests on the grass below us, it's bloody in some places, if this is who killed Gohan, why is he bleeding? Gohan didn't have anything strange when he died, he didn't put up a fight considering how calm his body was.
Piccolo grunts in frustration and collects the cape into a sack he has attached to his belt, and we move on.
My head throbs and I grip my head tightly with a groan, piccolo puts his hand to my shoulder and gives me a concerned look and suddenly I hear something. It's....in my head?
"I refuse, to let you, a stupid low class warrior achieve such a level of power as a god. You, Goku are nothing but a mere warrior. You may be strong but you, you are the one I hate most, and I will take away everything you have just as you have done to me. Get ready for a massacre in your honor."
I cough and let out my breath, choking and sputtering and piccolo holds me steady as I tell him what happened.
"A-a voice in my head....wierd and...and familiar but I can't remember"
Piccolo thinks hard.
"You recognized it, but couldn't remember who it was?"
I nod, and grab my chest, slowly catching my breath calmly.
He turns with a sigh, "I'm not sure what to do other than keep searching. Maybe, we should speak to whis?"
My eyes widen and I suddenly feel stupid and worthless. Ofcourse, we should have gone to whis first but instead we went on a search party.
I turn and head back to the castle with piccolo at my feet and we knock on the large door.
"Enter please. Son Goku what do you request at such a burdening hour?"
I grit my teeth and catch my tongue.
"My son has been murdered. Here, at our housing quarters"
Whis sits up from his seat abruptly, slamming his book down and grabbing his staff.
He looks at me pitifully. "I'm sorry but I can only turn back time within three minutes of an incident. However I shall do my best to assist in the situation, I do not take kindly to strangers, let alone murderous ones."
"We found a cape" piccolo pulls the cape out and hands it to whis, who picks it up carefully and examines it.
He makes grunts here and  there before setting it down on the table beside him.
"It appears we have a mystery. I know many things but I do not recognize this cape. How was Gohan killed?"
"With a sword."
"Where?"
"In the grass field courtyard outside the housing"
He grips his chin carefully thinking.
"I need to see Gohan, and I will be sure to search the planet carefully"
I nod and lead him down to Gohans body, still delicately place on the main rooms table.
