Dragon Balls AF: Demon Saga
Chapter 7:
"Father, are you okay?" Gohan asked worry
"Nah, I'm fine son. I really am" Goku now has returned in his normal state. The wounds that were made by Ventura claws only a 5 shallow scratch on his chest. But it is not the thing that bugging him. A horrible feeling in his stomach was caused by a very familiar face that he knew too well. The moment Ventura punched him in the hall making the mask came out and reveals her face. It was Chi Chi face. Although the moment was very short, he saw her face obviously. She looked exactly the same when he met her at the 23rd World Tournament. The only thing different is her eyes. Two black shining onyxes that he used to were replaced by two golden ambers. But even how much her appearance had changed, it didn't shock him as the hated and anger that lies in her eyes. The fire of hated and anger burning in her eyes made Goku's heart seized. None of his enemy can show such a hated to him Chi Chi did; Frieza, Cells, the dark dragons none of them. Sure he can see hated in their eyes but it's only because he stopped them from hurting people he loves and taking over the universe, it didn't bother him a lot. But there was something different about Chi Chi eyes, the hated that she has for him come from deeper, darker part of her soul and heart. A massive of hated and anger come from her right the moment he looked in her eyes, he can only feel such a strong emotion like that when he went to Hell and met the souls that was betrayed and killed by the person they love and trust with all their heart when they are in the living world. Their anger and hated was so huge that even if those people possessed a pure heart, King Yenma still has to let them go to the purify progress. What exactly he had done that make Chi Chi feel she was betrayed by him? He decided not to tell any one about this. If Chi Chi wanted to keep secret her identity then she must have her own reason, he respect it. But he'll try to have a privacy talk to her asked her why she so mad at him. It was probably because he left her alone, pregnant and had to raise the kids all by herself. If it was all about it, he'll tell her that he is really sorry about that but he'll also have to explain to her when that time that was his only choice to save her, save their family and friends then Chi Chi will understand and they will try to make up all the time that they've lost. But the hole in his stomach tells Goku that it isn't that simple, this isn't the true reason that Chi Chi hates him so much. Goku shook his head a little bit try to have some positive thought. Tomorrow he will talk to Chi Chi, it'll be hard at first but then everything will be okay. Yes, that's right. Every thing always okays with him so why not this time. A small smile crosses Goku's lips when he slowly get into sleep, unknown that everything is much more complicated than he thought it's and it's about getting more complex.
~~1 month later~~
"Hey Ventura, can we talk a little bit?"
"Errrr…, no I'm busy now. Sorry" Chi Chi said before her image turned into a blur leaving a frustrated Goku. Each time he tried to talk with her it all end up like. She said she was busy then ran away with all her might and about 10 minutes later he saw her doing nothing but comment how Goku jr could make a mess in his room so fast or how dirty Xicor's clothes was after his training. He didn't know how much his wife had changed in the last 100 years but it seemed that her stubbornness is still the same maybe even increase. It is so hurt when she kept distance from him like that. Chi Chi never push he away like that, she always the one who come to him, always open her arms wide to him, it always so easy for him to have her. Sometime he thought about giving up. But each time he saw Chi Chi talk with Goku jr or Xicor, the way she care about them, the way she joke with them about their hair or clothes make he wanted to have her by his side again. Then he remembered that Chi Chi didn't give up on him in 7 years when he was on the other world. Suddenly he felt so ashamed about himself. Chi Chi has willingly waited for him for her whole life knowing that he won't come back to her when he died in the Cells game with an unchanged faith and he only can't talk to her for 1 month and the thought giving up appeared in his mind. He never gives up easily on any thing no matter how difficult it was so why would he give up on her, the one who he has vowed to protect for the rest of his life. Even if she hates him, even if she avoid him like he is some kind of sickness and it hurts him badly; he will never give up. He will find out why she hates him so much and fix it; the image of Chi Chi appeared on his mind again. Yes he will fix it by every thing he has. Then he heard Chi Chi's voice echoes the ship:
"We're going to Luferian's atmosphere now. Please get back to the control room and take your sit to prepare for the landing"
The ship shake a little bit when it entered the atmosphere and then landed in the ground with a loud thud. Bulma said when she calculating by a computer: "So the oxygen in this place is a little bit lower then the earth but there is no toxic gas in here and… oh why am I even bother to speak" Bulma groaned a little bit when she saw everybody went outside.
"Woah this planet is freaking hot. Is there somewhere cooler than this place?" Goten asked
"Yes, although this planet is covered by desert but there is a small oasis if we keep flies to the west and…" Before Tsubasa could say more about the oasis a loud noise come from the west got the Z fighters intention.
"Hey is that an explosion?" Trunks asked but then there was another explosion interrupted him but it was bigger than the last one and on the same direction. This time they can see the smoke from the explosion.
"This place is too dangerous. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien you guys should stay in the ship. We'll investigate about the explosions." Gohan said when he sense the ki in the planet
Goku looked at Ventura for a moment. Despite she was wearing a mask; he knew that she was thinking about something. After a moment she decided to say:
"You guys just go ahead; I will catch up with you later"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, just go ahead I will be fine"
"Okay then see you later" Xicor said before he with with every body else took off to the west leaving Chi Chi alone
"Can you guys feel that ki?" Trunks asked when they flew to the west. 'That ki is from the west and it's the weirdest that I've ever felt. It was really powerful, no doubt about it, but it so balance. I mean no matter what, even when you sleep, your ki will raise and fall a little bit but this ki is exactly the same at all the time not mention that the ki around it is falling down rapidly that mean they are fighting."
"True and maybe that is Ventura's another son, Tsuruga." Gohan said
"Huh, why do you know about him?" Tsubasa asked
"I overheard your conversation with your mom yesterday. You said that Tsuruga come to the planet first in order to prevent Mandara henchman from taking the map, right"
"That mean demons have ki. But why do Ventura and Tsubasa want to hide their ki?' Pan asked when Tsubasa flew before them and not paid intention on them.
That because they don't want us to know who they really are. Goku thought "I don't know. But no matter what I'm sure that they have their own reason. Hey this is the oasis where the explosion happens; you can see a lot of smoke in here and… "
But before Goku could say anything more a monster that look like tiger with black skin and red eyes jump out from the thick smoke. It growled before it jump in Pan, intend to attack her.
"Pan, watch out" Gohan cried
"Woaaaaah" Pan cried out of shock. But something glowing likes a silver lightning cut through the smoke and puncture deep inside it head. When a man come out the mist and every body can see his face, the Z fighters shocked about what they saw. This man is quite handsome and he dressing the same costume as Tsubasa's except that he wasn't wearing a mask. And his face, his face just like Chi Chi's. The thing that killed the monster and looked like a silver lightning was actually a sword. Tsuruga looked at the crown for a moment and then he decided to keep walking to the dead corpse and pulled the sword out of his head and said like nothing happen:
"Good to see you again Tsubasa. Where is mother? I thought she would come here with you and the Z fighters."
"She said that we went ahead and she would follow us later"
"Oh, I see. So why are you wear that mask now? It is not useful anymore. They are not that dump not to figure out the whole thing by themselves."
"You're right. It doesn't have nay effect anymore" Tsubasa said when he take off the mask. It shocked the Z fighters again when they saw Tsubasa face. It is the same as Tsuruga face and looked like Chi Chi's
"How… What… just…what exactly is going on here?" Goten asked when he looked at the twin and every body else. It is obvious that he need to realize something but he still too shocked to know what happen. It like the information is playing with his intelligent and mind.
"You are just a baka as your father was brat. Doesn't it too obvious? Harpy is their mother, she and Ventura was the same. She was lying to us the whole time"
"She wasn't lying to you, not a single word. Don't you remember what she said? She said Chi Chi was a demon. Well she is a demon. She said that Chi Chi and the twin are fine. We are still fine. She didn't say a single lie when we on the ship. She just didn't say that she was Chi Chi" Tsubasa explained
"But why didn't she tell us? We are her family"
"You should ask her that when you have a talk and…" Tsubasa suddenly stop talking. At first every body wonder why but then when they felt an extremely familiar ki was rising then they know why
"That is mom ki signal' Gohan said
"She must be in trouble. LET GO" Goku cried out when he took off with his full speed headed to Chi Chi's place.
~~20 minutes ago~~
Chi Chi was standing in the middle of dessert looked at the fighters until their image only a small pot to her. She then decided to follow to the direction where the wind brought that scent from. That scent is too familiar to her that she can recognize it anywhere, any place even how faint it was. But what is Yuki doing here? She suppose to be in the castle in Astantine, where completely safe for her not the planet that you can find Mandara henchmen every where. Could it be…Could it be that Mandara has kidnapped her. No don't say about kidnapping her at the castle where is full of elite guard when he can't even put a feet on Astantine's ground. But Chi Chi is still had a horrible feeling at her stomach. What if Mandara have a spy in Astantine in the elite guard, what if he has then it would be too easy for him to have Yuki. Chi Chi shook her head try not to think about it. For the first time in her life she really hope that this is only a trap, that scent only use to lure her it's not real. But she had to go there, have to confirm that nothing happen to Yuki. Suddenly she felt that she was close to the source of that scent, it stronger than ever. Chi Chi decided to landed and walked to the source. Even if this was a trap, she still has to beat them up because they dare to scare her and well, they're Mandara henchman. Chi Chi slowly made her way to a rock mountain that she knows behind them was a small group of Mandara henchman. She step carefully tried not to make any noise when she saw them. There are five of them; there was one magician and the rest were fighters. All of them were demon. The magician seemed to be in charge, he was ordering the fighters to give him something like a scroll made by leather.
"That couldn't be the map, isn't it" Chi Chi thought "Doesn't matter any more. Whatever it is, I will take away from them and then have Tsubasa to find out what it is. I should attack the fighters first then save the magician for the last. If I lucky enough, I will know what is Mandara up to"
And then with a swift movement, Chi Chi ran to the closest person to her, stabbing her nails in his heart before pulled it away. His eyes still wide open because of shock even when his corpse fell down to the ground.
"The… The Great Demon… get… get her" The magician stammered a little bit before order the fighters to fight her. A small smile crossed her lip when she saw the smallest and probably the weakest tremble when he heard this. It seemed that all he wanted to do is running from this place forever. Maybe she would spare his life just for now, and then she will investigate about his past later, there were many people worked for Mandara only because they was under a spell. If he only a coward that following Mandara to beat the person who weaker than him then she would kill him merciless. She gave he only a light punch made he passed out for a while. The rest were different, she never meet them but she knew what they looked like thank to the descriptions were made by the survive people on different planet that Mandara had ordered to destroy. After tearing the last fighter's arm away from his body, she kicked him into a rock mountain and needless to say he didn't survive after it. Now it just only her and the magician. Despite his face express nothing, she still can see his body trembling a little bit. From his hand shot out several of beam with all kind of colors. A magician only does that what he is very desperate since it waste too much energy or at least that what Tsubasa told her. A red beam came close to her face and if she didn't dodge it, it would blow her head. But instead of her head, her mask broke into pieces. "This needs to end right now" She thought before her image turned into a blur and she disappeared.
"Where did she go?" The magician looked around and about half second later his answer is answered. Chi Chi came behind him stabbed her hand into his body but this time it was his belly not his heart. She wanted to keep him alive to ask what exactly this scroll is. But then she smells that familiar scent came from his body, Chi Chi decided to ransack his body to find the source of the smell. Her hand find a small fury object, it was Yuki's hair tight by a red ribbon. Anger, worries, fear, every emotion that she tried to hide when she smell that scent come out and burst. She wanted to know, she need to know where was Yuki and if this man doesn't tell her she will torture him, making he suffer as much as possible until he spit it out every thing that has in his brain.
"Where did you get this from?" Chi Chi growled
"Die bitch, I will never…Gaaaaaah" The man whimpered in pain when he felt Chi Chi nails in his belly right in his old wounds
'I asked you again where you got this from."
"Gah…Mandara got this from a little brat that he capture but you are too late too save her now. Too late Ha Ha Ha... GAAAAAAH" The man laugh before he cried in pain again when Chi Chi scratch his face into 5 deep wounds.
"Why is it too late? WHY? ANSWER ME"
"You know that too, bitch. You get through it before but the brat will be different. She maybe one of Mandara good dolls now, unlike you, her bitchy rebellious mother. She will serve Mandara forever just like me."
Chi Chi let out a loud growl from her throat before she tears this man head apart from his body. Not satisfied with this she used her claws to stab his dead corpse didn't care that his blood spilled all over her body. She knew this is useless, she knew that this won't save her daughter from Mandara's hand but she just needed to let out her feeling right now in something that won't hurt any one, in this case is a dead body. Chi Chi had never felt so desperate, so useless like this in her entire life. She may never see her little baby girl anymore, even if she did Yuki will be only an empty body that have no emotion, no feeling just like that wizard said only a good doll to Mandara. When the body turned into a mass of bones and flesh that no one can recognize, Chi Chi started to calm down a little bit and decided to go to the twin place to talk about this. Maybe, just maybe there is a slight chance that Mandara hasn't done anything to her daughter, that she is still okay. And she still have Mark, right even if Tsubasa doesn't know what to do Mark may have some plans about this. But then Chi Chi realized she didn't have to her sons place because they are all here. Goku, all her sons, her granddaughter, her great-great grandson and Xicor, Ubu, Piccolo, Vegeta, Trunks even Bra they are all here and they all looked at her with a shocking eyes
