Chapter 11: Where's Goma?!

I am right here with you

I couldn't be more close

Pretending that I'm in this moment

When I'm only a ghost

I listen to the words your saying

Words I'm fighting to believe

It's like I'm living from a distance

When you out of reach

I wanna feel it

Wanna mean it when I say it

Can you hear me at all?

(So Far Away-Red)

The next morning:

Trunks' POV

I woke with a start, more with a shrilled scream from Goten who was jumping on the air mattress I was sleeping on. I slammed my arm against his ankle, making him drop on me in which I offed because he was heavy.

"What the hell, Goten?! Why so freaking early in the morning?!" his eyes were swimming in tears and his face showed nothing but fear.

"Goma, she's gone! She's not in the house, the woods anywhere nearby she's gone!"

Gohan's POV

I snored away the morning till I heard two screams. I stuffed the pillow against my head before Trunks ran into my room and started shaking my shoulders. "What's wrong?" I groaned my voice muffled by the pillow.

"Goma's gone!" soon everyone was in my room even Dad who was trying to calm Goten.

"We'll look for her. She couldn't have gotten far. Especially depending on her condition." I said as I pulled on some clothes and even Vegeta came over. "Why are you here?" he told me he was worried cause he could sense Trunks' distress.

Soon everyone was over at the house. Piccolo, Krillian even Yamcha and Tien were over which was shocking. Seems like a total search was gonna commence.

Trunks' POV

Something wasn't adding up. Goma couldn't even open her eyes yesterday what makes any of us think that she could walk out of here. Saora walked into the room, which was Goma's Calico cat. She meowed at me. I petted her with a smile on my face.

Soon everyone was discussing plans to search everywhere. Gohan would go with Piccolo to check the islands. Krillian and Yamcha would check west city, even 18 got in on it and went with Tien to check up north including the look out.

Goku would go with my dad to search the mountains while I and Goten go check the canyons. I hoped we could find her. Soon after breakfast we all split up, I could tell dad wasn't happy to go with Goku from what I could see on his annoyed expression.

Soon everyone was out and searching.

Tien's POV

I looked towards 18 and asked her who was watching her daughter. "Ugh. Don't even ask me that. I was desperate cause this situation is bad so I had Roshi watch her." She looked annoyed from what I could tell was Master Roshi had flirted with her once again.

We split up once he hit the city looking around for any power level that belonged to Goma, I'm sure 18 doesn't even know what Goma looks like which worries me.

Krillian's POV

We didn't have much lucky looking through the air. Yamcha wasn't even sure Goma would even be in the city let alone be anywhere near other people since she spends so much time at Goku's.

"Well, we still have to check Yamcha." I told him as he sighed and followed my league to land on the ground. After an hour of searching we ended up with nothing.

Gohan's POV

I was a little agitated that much Piccolo could tell because he told me to relax. Relax? How the hell am I supposed to relax when my almost dead Cousin is up and about with the condition she had the night before.

Soon all the islands were checked and we came up with nothing possible. I connected my thoughts to everyone else and said. "She's not anywhere on the islands."

Krillian's POV

"She's not in West city. Going to continue search otherwise." I said as I held to fingers to my forehead to connect to everyone.

Tien's POV

"no sign yet but we'll keep looking. Find anything yet 18?" When I looked at 18, she was busy flipping someone's car.

"18! DON'T DO THAT!" I apologized to the man as we kept searching.

*Some people don't know or may already know, 18 is in fact an android. She is a girl in a technical sense. What's that? Go look it up*

Goku's POV

Vegeta and me split up to search the mountains. Soon 18 and Tien joined in the search when they finished. "Drat! We haven't even found a trace of her energy. Where the hell could she go in her condition?!"

I kicked a rock in frustration. Vegeta gave me a look. "Calm down Kakarot. We'll find the little brat."

I rubbed my head as if to think but more so in struggling to figure out where she could've gone in her condition.

Soon I felt a shift in the air as I looked in the direction of the canyons.

Trunks' POV

Me and Goten got a swift view in the air and eventually picked up on an energy signal which was very low but almost hidden.

I scanned the area again and saw someone walking. I poked Goten to see the person. "Is that Goma?" he shrugged but said. "It could be, let's go check."

The person stopped when we inched closer to the ground. From behind the person wore a pair of torn jeans and a badly ripped up shirt which showed most of the person's back.

"Hi we're looking for someone." This person had some familiar feeling to me. I looked to see that it was a girl standing before us. She was silent but didn't move.

"Who are you? And why are you out here in the Canyons far beyond civilization." Goten asked getting a little impatient. Soon Goten's patience wore thin and he quickly strike the woman who without looking dodged the attack and with just a sound wave, making Goten blast backwards into a rock.

"Who are you?!" I shouted as I attacked her next. When I got in front of her she had a mask over her face. She blocked my fist with just her elbow.

She leered at me from inside her mask as she threw me back at Goten who was just now getting up, makes us both topple into the ground.

She wiped her hands together as if dusting herself off as she continued to walk, but not before us both got to her. Goten reached for her back I reached for her mask which came off sometime during the scuffle of the three of us.

When the dust cleared, I saw what I feared to see. The girl was the one who came from the crater who I saved, the same person who stood next to me when I was worried about Goten's fever, the same person who I cared for and the same person I kissed.

Goma's whole appearance was completely off. Her once beautiful semi blue semi navy hair was gone, replaced by regular Sayian black hair, and instead of her Sayian black eyes she had crimson blood eyes.

When she spoke I couldn't recognize her at all. Her face alone made me believe that the being in front of us was Goma.

"You're so weak. I have no time for you anyway." She raised a hand to us before shouting. "Die!"

Oh no, looks like the once friendly Goma has turned evil. What happened to have caused this reaction?! Will Trunks and Goten fight back against their changed friend? Will Goku figure out what's happening before it's too late?

Find out in the next chapter guys~

See ya!~
