In the depths of your slumber, a vivid memory unfolded. It transported you back to the tender age of eight, when the world was a vast playground waiting to be explored. It was during this time that you embarked on your daily journey to school, gradually growing accustomed to the routine of navigating the bustling streets alone. Your uncle, a pillar of unwavering support, had entrusted you with this responsibility, instilling in you a sense of confidence.

As the first day of fourth grade dawned, an overwhelming wave of nerves engulfed you. The prospect of forging new friendships seemed like an insurmountable challenge, leaving you feeling isolated and apprehensive.

However, as the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, you embarked on your homeward journey. Fate, however, had a different plan in store for you. In a moment of distraction, you unwittingly boarded the wrong bus, setting in motion a series of events that would test your resilience.

Fear gripped your heart, threatening to consume you entirely. Yet, amidst the chaos, you summoned the strength to remain composed, drawing upon the wisdom imparted by your uncle. His words echoed in your mind, urging you to retrace your steps and seek assistance.

With trepidation coursing through your veins, you mustered the courage to reach out to your concerned uncle. The mere sound of his voice on the other end of the line provided solace, a lifeline in the midst of uncertainty. As you relayed your predicament, his unwavering love and support shone through, overshadowing any hint of anger or disappointment. His sole concern was your well-being, and his relief was palpable upon learning of your whereabouts.

In a whirlwind of emotions, your uncle swiftly came to your rescue, scooping you up in his arms. A radiant smile graced his face, a testament to his unconditional love. In that moment, you realized that his faith in you transcended any missteps or wrong turns. It was a bond forged in trust and nurtured by unwavering support.

Together, you journeyed back home, the weight of the day's events gradually dissipating. As the warmth of your uncle's embrace enveloped you, a profound sense of gratitude washed over you. You were safe, loved, and cherished. And in the face of adversity, you had discovered the immeasurable strength that lies within, fortified by the unwavering presence of your guardian.

Startled awake, you gasp for air, your drowsy eyes struggling to adjust to the sudden rush of memories involving your uncle.

"Are you alright?" Goku's voice breaks through the haze, as you turn your head to find him sitting cross-legged on the bed beside you, his eyes filled with both warmth and concern. Shirtless, his body is adorned with bandages, evidence of the burns and injuries he sustained during your last battle.

You manage a timid nod, cautiously sitting up and feeling the weight of your own body, as if it were ten times heavier than usual, causing you to groan. "What happened?" Your worry for him outweighs any concern for yourself.

Goku chuckles softly, his hand rubbing the back of his head. "Well, you kind of unleashed your inner beast with Lord Beerus. It was scary, but also exhilarating. I'm not sure if Vegeta and I can achieve that new form. I had to bite you to snap you out of it. My instincts told me to do it, and it worked." He explains, before planting a gentle kiss on your cheek. "But don't worry, I'm fine. And you are too... right?" His voice is filled with tenderness as he asks the question.

You gaze up at him, slowly nodding in response.

Goku's humming turns into a soft, comforting melody as he pulls you into his lap, holding you close. "Yes, you scared us all... but you were scared too," he murmurs, his voice filled with empathy.

Nestling into Goku's embrace, you meet his gaze, searching for answers. "Goku, what exactly happened?"

Goku's eyes meet yours, his expression serious. "Well, Beerus managed to really anger you. You became incredibly powerful, almost uncontrollable. Your energy was wild, untamed. But... it didn't feel like it was you in control. It was as if something else took over your body. It was overwhelming, to the point where even Vegeta and I felt like we were being crushed from within."
