Chapter 3

Goku glared at the Dragon in response.

"What do you mean she's not dead or alive?! We can still sense her ki!!" He demanded harshly. He clenched his fists together, trying to prevent himself from lashing out on something.

"Exactly what I said. She is neither dead nor alive. Bringing her here is beyond my capabilities." Goku lowered his head, trying to prevent the rage that was about to surface. Bulma put a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him. She looked towards the Dragon and raised her voice.

"Can you at least tell us where she is?" she yelled to the scaly beast.

"If that is your wish." The Dragon responded.

"YES IT'S MY DAMN WISH!! NOW HURRY UP AND GRANT IT YOU OVERGROWN GODZILLA!!" The Dragon grunted in response, and reluctantly let his eyes glow red.

"She is locked deep inside a mountain, about three thousand miles North of this place. A mountain range near a city called Kila.." Goku saluted the Dragon quickly before it disappeared and the balls floated into the air, dispersing around the world. Without another word, the hero flew off towards the North, the sunset to his left, his friends trailing close behind him. Bulma clung to Vegeta, yelling orders to Trunks and Goten to stay put with Yamcha. Goku stopped in midair and clunked himself on the forehead. The group caught up with him and he held his hand out.

"Everybody touch me." he demanded. Krillin looked at him confused.

"Why Goku?" Goku bugged his eyes at his midget friend.

"Because we're GOING TO FIND CHI CHI! I can teleport faster than I can fly." Krillin was shocked at Goku's harshness, but followed his command and placed his hand on Goku's shoulder. The rest followed as suit, and Goku disappeared from sight.

~*Inside a mountain near Kila*~

A shadowy figure bowed deeply at another figures feet.

"Master, your creation is almost complete. Your brother would have been very proud of you."

"I know 17. I wish you hadn't dismembered him like you did. *sigh* He would've loved to see the day when Goku's children are the ones to overthrow him."

~*Outisde*~

The group appeared all at once in front of a large metal door. Vegeta scoffed lightly.

"Do they think this weak little door will hold Me back?" he snickered as he slowly held his hand up to the flimsy metal. He made a fist and held it flat up against the door. He pulled it back sharply and then slammed it through the door. He pulled his arm out, then pried the metal back with his fingers. Goku would have admired Vegeta for this, but his mind was on other things.

Vegeta led the way into the gloomy darkness followed directly by Goku, then Bulma, Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin tagging along at the end. The air was incredibly thick inside, and the un-Saiyan members were pressed with heaviness of the air. It grew darker the farther in the group walked. Bulma scooted forward a bit and grabbed onto Vegeta's arm. Since not even he could see with such little light, Vegeta hugged her close. They were nearing the end of a tunnel, and suddenly there came a great burst of light from within the darkness.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, but Vegeta progressed forward and peeked around the corner of the tunnel. He motioned for the rest to come forward, still with his eyes locked on what he couldn't believe was real.

"17, pass me that test tube if you will. We're almost ready to begin the procedure,"

"Yes Dr Ona," The android floated obediently over to a nearby table and retrieved a test tube filled halfway with a greenish looking substance. He handed it cautiously to the Doctor. Doctor O poured it carefully into a tube she was already holding filled with blue liquid. She swirled the mixture around, forming a turquoise color, about the same shade as Bulma's hair.

Vegeta's eyes continued to scan the room. There were tanks everywhere filled with purple liquid, very similar to that of the Saiyan regeneration tanks. An odd factor was they were each filled with bodies. He looked on with shock and horror, but he was struck speechless when he spotted one put aside frokm the rest. It's contents, a very pregnant Chi Chi. Goku poked his head around the corner about that time, his eyes locking on what Vegeta had just discovered.

The Doctor stared gleefully at the potion she was mixing in her hand. It was turning a light orange color, and was beginning to bubble.

"I love revenge, don't you 17?" The Doctor spoke plainly without turning her head. No response.

"17?" The Doctor turned and viewed the long haired boy sitting at his desk, staring off to space with his head in his hand.

"What is it 17? Are you figuring a formula?" Dr O moved to the boy's side and began playing with his orange scarf. She was quickly shrugged away.

"No Doctor. I just... oh never mind." 17 stood from the desk and walked across the room to Chi-Chi's tank. He stared inside at her floating, motionless figure.

"No, 17, go ahead." The youth lowered his head.

"Well... I guess I just miss my sister. I mean she has a family and everything, but I never see her," he sighed and hesitated before continuing, "I guess I feel slightly guilty splitting up yet another family,"



okay, it sucks so far, but trust me, it WILL get better
