Chapter 4
Destiny was still shocked by what she'd learned. Her parents had taken it in stride, but she hadn't found it that easy. Her mother was farther out in the yard, and she was shadow sparring. Echo stopped suddenly, feeling something evil, something dark nearby. Gohan came out swiftly, ready to help her in anyway he could for he too had felt the darkness.
They both dodged an attack that came from the shadows surrounding their home. A couple of auras appeared about them, showing that they weren't kiddng around with anyone coming into their home and threatening them. The warrior showed himself. He was one of the typical samauri warriors that Taulpa used. Echo's ki flames intensified, showing her anger readily. "You have no right to be here. This is not your world." The amazon snarled, managing to keep herself under control.
Gohan followed suit, letting more of his own power out to help combat this dark soldier.
He laughed, underestimating them. "I have no right? Now that's something I've heard before. And all those who've said it have been killed. You two are no different. Everything you fight for will be gone in a short while. So why resist?"
They glared angrily. Saiya-jins weren't ones to be told all was hopeless. "So you say. But, we know your weakness." Gohan growled.
"And I know yours." The soldier tired to grab the woman with his enemy, but she easily evaded his attempt. "So, you aren't as weak as I thought. So what. None of you will stop my master."
A flame flashed in her eyes. She was very angry, and that was not a good thing. "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" Echo gave a slight signal to Gohan, and they powered up their attacks. "STARLIT INFERNO!!!!"
"KAMEHAMEHA!!!!" Light blue attacks combined and converged on their enemy. The soldier let out an enraged cry as his armour vaporized. There was nothing he could have done to defend himself from two enraged saiya-jins. Echo grimmaced slightly, trying to keep from letting them know about the sudden pain she was feeling.
"Kaasan, what's wrong?" Destiny called, coming up to her mother.
"I don't know." she whispered, trying to keep the pain out of her voice. Gohan placed a hand on her arm, trying to destract her from what she was feeling.
"Maybe we should go to Capsule Corp. After all, Bulma may be able to find out what's been going on. Echo, you've been having these pains for a week now. Perhaps we should do something about it." She nodded, and they took to the sky. During the flight, Echo cried out and lost consciousness.
He caught her before she fell to the ground, then sped up his flight. I don't like this. She's never passed out while flying before. The buildings that he was looking for came up over the horizon, and he landed, his daughter close behind him. "Bulma!" he called, trying to keep his fear from becoming overpowering.
Bulma came out, then drew a startled gasp. "Follow me." Gohan obeyed her without question. He felt like his mate's life was in danger, and he knew that Bulma could help. "Lay her down on that bed." He followed her instructions quickly after that. "You'd better leave. I don't think you want to see what I'm about to do." He left the room, giving her space to do what she had to do.
Bulma scanned her over for any life force that wasn't her own, but she found none. Okay, that's ruled out. But why would she pass out for no apparent reason? Then, she noticed the pattern that her brain waves were giving off. What? I've never seen them do that before! She started to reach for a hypodermic needle to administer some medicine when Vegeta stopped her.
"You'd better not do that. She was reacting to the darkness she was sensing from space. That's why she passed out." As usual, his voice was harsh yet underlaying it was a concern for fellow saiya-jins.
"If you say so. But I still think that she should be watched." Bulma doubted that what had happened to Echo would let her wake on her own. Hopefully, nothing had harmed her.
