Okay I know this chapter is very short, but I'm more focus on Ness and Gohan at this point, but it's best to know what the others are up to, so why not? xD

Chapter 7: All hope is lost...?

*Claus' point of view*

Nothing...what the heck...we've been out here for hours and not a single clue shows up.

Jeff:"Ness! Are you here!?" Teddy:"Ness!" I was losing hope...maybe he is really gone...maybe-I felt a hand on my shoulder. I look over to see that Ninten was worried about me, "I'm fine Ninten, really." I shrugged him off. Ninten:"All right if you say so..."

*Lucas' point of view*

I can't even sense him anywhere..."Ness...? Are you here...?" I whimpered as I looked around, then I sighed.

Kumatora:"Man, who would do such a cruel thing!" Ana agreed, Ana:"Yeah! Poor Ness..." Suddenly, everything around me started to get darker, soon everyone realized what is happening!

Claus:"What the!? Rain storm?" I looked up, oh my gawd the clouds..."I think we should find-" I was cut off as I heard an evil laughter filled the air around us! Ninten:"W-what?" Flint:"Whose there!?" As I was hearing my heart beat like a drum, a familiar cry was heard...something like...like...Ness:*Crying* Claus:"Ness!?" We all looked around, Paula:"Ness honey! Where are you!?" ?:"He will never hear you" Someone was in front of me I think...

*Gasp* I backed away slowly. Claus:"Hey!" Claus went infront of me, protecting me from harm. Loid:"Who is that...!?" ?:"I am the new ruler for this world" Everyone's eyes widen up when he said that. Ninten:"Tell us what have you done with Ness!" Claus went into his battle position, Claus:"Yeah! Or you better be ready for a whooping!" ?:"Gladly, you see this "Ness" you speak of is no longer around in this world" T-that means...Poo:"You've killed him...?" ?:"What? No, my plan would have been all for nothing if I killed him" We all sighed in releved, but soon realized that Ness was in trouble...

"Just...bring him back!" He chuckled, ?:"Oh how I love it how much pain you guys are going through without him, he's like an idol right?" Claus was disgusted, Claus:"Listen here you...I'm sick and tired of this. If you don't lead us to Ness I'll-" ?:"Kill me?" We all went silent, ?:"Some words you got there boy, but if you kill me now, you'll never find your precious Ness ever again! Oh and speaking of Ness, allow me." A small dim of light appears infront of us...?:"Chao" He disappears as we look at the light...then...Ness was shown..! Ninten:"Oh my goodness, he's okay!" But...he was crying...and in fear...Claus:"No...Ness..." he suddenly screamed out, Ness:"LUCAS! CLAUS! NINTEN! P-Paula..." I wanted to cry too...Jeff:"Oh my goodness..." The light suddenly fades...I was speechless...he's afraid and...and...I can't comfort him...Claus:"Grrr..." He was clutching his fist, Ninten:"That cruel...monster...!"

*Goku's point of view*

?:"Hehehehehe..." I instantly turned around, aware of my surroundings. "Whose there!?" Krillin:"G-Goku...!" I look over to see Krillin staring at someone in fear, I then glance over to see what he was staring at. ?:"My my, all these power levels are quite shocking" Bulma:"Whoever you are, get lost! We don't have the time for you!" He lets out a creepy laughed, I was already in my hostile position while the others followed afterwards. Vegeta:"Get lost!" Yamcha:"Yeah!" Piccolo:"Or maybe I should knock some senses into him if he doesn't leave." He cracks his knuckles.

?:"Now now I wouldn't do that if I were you." "Why not? Give us a good reason!" I can feel my ki slowly growing in anger. ?:"I'll tell you why, are you looking for someone?" That cause everyone including me to get caught off guard..."Yes...why?" I went back into my hostile position once again. ?:"Ohoho tense are we?" Trunks:"Just tell us why you're here already!" ?:"Gladly, allow me."

Gohan:"Daddy..." "Huh?" I look around...was that-Gohan:"Daddy...!" "G-Gohan!" I couldn't sense him, where is he!? Gohan:"DADDY! MOM! PICCOLO!" He was crying out in agony! "Gohan where are you!?" ?:"Hehehe...this "Gohan" of yours is no longer here." I charged right towards him, but he disappears out of thin air...! Piccolo:"Grrr! That monster!" Krillin:"Poor Gohan..." I clutched my fist so hard it started to hurt, but I didn't care...I didn't care at all! I furiously turn myself to Bulma, "Bulma! You saw what happened, help us!" Bulma:"O-on it Goku!" She quickly runs inside, followed by Krillin and Trunks. "Gohan...I'm coming..."
