A/N: Hey everybody. I thought I'd try my hand by writing a kidnapping story. I never tried one of these before so tell me if this is good or not.

Chapter 1

(Goku's POV).

I woke up and immediately uncertainly settled in me. I should be used to waking up in unusual places considering when I fight bad guys, I always wake up in someplace different but I always have a slight knowledge of where I'm at. This time I didn't. I willed my body to wake up and my eyes to open but immediately wished I hadn't. Walls of concrete surrounded me and it looked like I was in a basement. The walls had cracks and dirt caked on them and the dirt-caked floors looked disgusting. There was a faint clinking of something hitting the floor… metal maybe?

The air around me was thick and damp, and the dimly lit room made it possible to see somewhat. There was a TV in the middle of the room and four chairs. I turned my head to the right to get a better view of the place I was in and my breath got caught in my throat. There on the ground, sprawled out like it had been thrown there was Krillin. Cuts and bruises lingered his arms and legs and his forehead was sporting a gash. I looked down at his hands and saw that they were chained to a wall. Same for his legs to.

I started to crawl over to Krillin to try to wake him but the sound of something dragging the floor made me stop. I look down at my hands and discovered that I had the same metal chains as Krillin. I looked at my arms and saw the same cuts and bruises that everyone else had. Who would be strong enough to do this? I thought to myself. I looked down at the chains and the thought of me breaking them sounded like a good option. I grabbed the metal chain and began to pull, hoping that it would break easily so I wouldn't have to raise my power level and alert someone. After several failed attempts of trying to break them, I soon found out that these were much stronger chains and could only be opened by a key.

I then resumed my task of trying to wake Krillin up. I reached my hand out and shook his shoulder. "Krillin, hey Krillin! Wake up man!" I hissed, trying to get him to open his eyes. After a few tries, I sighed in relief when Krillin let out a moan and his eyes fluttered open.

Blinking them rapidly to get them adjusted and knocking the sleep out of his eyes, panic began to set in Krillin when he realized where he was. "Hey Krillin." I said softy, trying not to startle him.

He looked in the direction of my voice and relief shone in his eyes when he saw that it was me. "Hey Goku."

Relief turned into horror when he saw the state of my body. "A-are you ok?" he asked.

I flashed him a reassuring smile, letting him know that I'm all right. But he still held that horrid expression on his face. I looked at him, confused but then realized that he wasn't looking at me; he was looking at something – or someone.

My shock mirrored his own when I turned around to see who it was. There, laying in his beat up battle armor was Vegeta. His state of form looked worse then Krillin's. Cuts and bruises jarred alongside his body, blood was pouring from an open wound in his forehead and gashes lingered his arms where he supposedly got cut. He also looked like he had been thrown there before he was chained up like the rest of us. One arm was lodged uncomfortably underneath his stomach and he was sprawled against the wall; his head resting on the dirt-caked wall.

My hand went to my mouth in shock. "Oh God." I breathed out, unable to believe that this was happening. What kind of person would do this? I didn't understand.

"He's been like that for hours."

I whipped my head to the left to find Trunks looking at Vegeta. Then he looked at me. I could see the bruises and cuts on his face. His eyes held pain, uncertainly, and most of all: fear. His eyes were bloodshot like as if he had been crying and his hands were shaking. I let out a shaky breath as I spoke to him. "Hey, Trunks. How's it going?"

His face held a dull but scared expression. He tried not to show it, though. Just as he was about to reply to me, we snapped our heads to a door opening.

One... two... three men, all clad in black, came clambering down the stairs. I gave each of them a cold stare as they stood in front of us, staring us down.

One of the men pulled out something from his pocket. I soon realized it as a wash cloth. I kept my eyes on him as he bent down and dabbed the wound around Krillin's eye. Krillin backed up against the wall and tried to get away from him but the man held onto his face firmly as he was cleaning the wound.

I turned my attention to the other guys who were staring at Vegeta. "You think he would've woken up by now." One of them said.

"Yeah." replied the other one.

I then watched as the two guys began to kick Vegeta in the side, softly at first but then got more violet when he didn't respond. I wanted to yell out and tell them to stop it and let him wake up on his own but my breath was caught in my throat. "Please stop it!" I heard Trunks yell.

They guys stopped kicking Vegeta and looked over at Trunks with a crazed look in their eyes. I looked back over at Krillin and saw a fresh bandage below his eye. The man that treated Krillin was also looking over at Trunks. Looking at them more closely, I saw that all of them wore grey ski masks. The tallest one out of the two advanced onto Trunks. "Why should we stop?" sneered the man as he looked daringly at Trunks. Trunks was about to respond when we were all startled by a moan.

I looked over in Vegeta's direction and saw that he was waking up. Now I didn't want him to wake up. I didn't want him to see what was happening to us. I watched Vegeta stir, and then I saw his eyes start to slowly open. He blinked the sleep out of his eyes and he looked up at the man standing over him. Confusion began to take over his body as he stared at the man with a quizzical expression on his face. "Who the hell are you?" he spat.

The man laughed at Vegeta and smiled lovingly at him. That smile made me sick to my stomach. "Oh, you'll find out in due time, baby." He said it with such passion that it made me sick.

Vegeta glared at him. "Get away from me, freak." He attempted to stand up but then he noticed the chains. It didn't take him long to realize that we were trapped in a basement. "What the hell is this?" he yelled angrily as he attempted to break the chains that bound him to the stony hard wall.

The three men laughed as Vegeta tried in vain to break the chains. "You can't break 'em, stupid!" one of the men roared with laughter.

Vegeta glared deeply at the men. "You don't know who you're dealing with!" yelled Vegeta as tried to form a ki ball in his hand. When it didn't work, Vegeta looked down in shock when he realized that mysteriously, his powers were gone. "Who the hell are you?!"

The three men chuckled. "You'll find out soon enough." With that, the three men started walking back up the stairs and out the metal door that connected the basement to the rest of the house. "Don't you turn you're back on me!" yelled Vegeta but they were already gone.

"Guys, what are we gonna do?" Krillin's voice rang in my head.

I shook my head sadly. All hopes of escaping were dashed when we found out that our powers were gone. I sighed as I slumped my body against the cold concrete wall of this messy basement. "I dunno." I replied, looking up at the ceiling and wishing that this nightmare would end; wishing that everything about this situation would end. Little did I know, everything would take a turn for the worst.

A/N: So, how'd everybody like it? Please review and tell me if I should continue or not!!
