Chapter 17:

Arc: The storm is approaching

Universe 7, Age: 780

Location: Unknown planet in uncharted space.

Everything was all falling into line so perfectly, just as he predicted it would.

It was a little too overwhelming for Frieza that he couldn't help but let out a crazed laugh as he stared out the view port of his personal ship, the Sovereign.

A ship was making its path towards his ship and Frieza's eyes winded with maddening childlike glee.

Just a moment ago the captain of said vessel had gave him the call that he had been so anxiously waiting for.

Nonstop Frieza recited the words in his head.

"My lord, we have found all of the targets you desired. We have found all the Black Star Dragon Balls."

Frieza's cringe worthy grin widened. The time was fast approaching.

The time were he would fulfill his promise, or rather satisfy his everlasting need for vengeance

Earth,

"Kefla!", Goku barged into her room and looked around. Only to find that she wasn't anywhere in there. However the window to her room was left wide open signaling that she had just gone up and left.

Goku started to panic. His son's words gave him a dreaded feeling that was only intensify by every new complication in this blasted situation.

Instinctively, Goku made a dash for the window and literally jumped straight through the opening, front flipping outside onto his feet.

"Where is she!", Goku thought desperately searching for her energy anywhere nearby.

She wasn't anywhere his vision could see up to, so he hoped he could find her through this method.

Goku sighed with relief when he finally found it. Still very strong and not to far away.

Still though this did not stop him from rushing madly to find her. From what he could sense there was no time to be slow.

After a few minutes of searching, Goku finally found her.

"Kefla!", Goku shouted. Relief was in his voice but as he got closer this was replaced by shock and horror.

Kefla was drowning.

Goku saw her thrashing around like crazy trying to stay afloat, but he could tell that she was quickly losing the energy to keep doing so. It wouldn't be long before she went under completely.

Not about to let that happen, Goku dived into the water the second he reached it and began swimming over to Kefla.

Upon reaching her Goku found it extremely difficult to grab a hold of her. Even as he kept trying to reassure her that it was him and that he was trying to save her.

However it appeared as if Kefla couldn't hear him at all. In fact, it was like she was blind to his very existence. She just kept thrashing and screaming.

Needing a solution fast, Goku had to given and use his superior strength.

When he finally got a hold of one of her wrists he positioned it front of her. Her other arm attempted to elbow him but he was successful in stopping it and obtaining her other wrist.

Now that he had a proper hold on her, Goku took a deep breath and used his ability to fly them both out of the water and back on dry land.

Goku took in welcomed gulps of fresh air, having been deprived of that in the water. He didn't get much time to rest however.

Although out of the water now, Kefla was still struggling excessively in his grasp, trying somewhat desperately to get out of it.

"Ke-", Goku stopped when he got a good look at her. He saw that her eyes were closed and it was soon becoming clear to him that she was either in some trance or having some sort of nightmare.

Having to struggle with her a bit, Goku soon focused and was easily able to force Kefla's arms against the ground. Her legs took over, trying to kick him anywhere they shot at, but he forced them down as well by getting between them.

"Kefla!", Goku yelled at her, "wake up!."

His words seemed to do the trick and Kefla's eyes abruptly snapped open.

"Gezz, thank goodness," Goku exhaustively thought to himself in relief.

Kefla coughed up some water that had gotten into her throat, after which she began breathing rapidly in an effort to get some air.

Goku gave her all the time she needed to do so.

When she finally got back herself back to working order, her once distant eyes came back to life and were now resting on him.

"Goku?", Kefla voice trembled as she spoke.

He nodded, "its okay, your safe now."

Realizing she might need some room, Goku release his grip on Kefla and back up a little bit from her.

However before he could fully get into a seating position, Goku cried out as he felt Kefla's form cream into him. knocking him backwards and fully to the ground.

Kefla's arms made their way across his neck as he did his best to sit up and he felt her head bury into his chest as she immediately started to cry.

Although her grip made it a little hard to breath, Goku wrapped his arms around her too as he began to try and comfort her.

"Kefla your fine," Goku assured her but then he asked the question that was burning in his mind now that he rescued her.

"What happened Kefla," Goku begged her, "please tell me."

When Kefla finally regained some control of herself she looked up at Goku and her expression sent a shiver down his spine.

"You tried to kill me!," she cried to him.

Author's Note: Hi everyone and welcome to the end of another chapter for our story. I hope you all enjoyed it and are ready for more to come. If your all confused by Kefla's last line don't worry because it will make sense in the next the chapter. However there is a hint to something in the words she is saying and I want to see if any of you can figure it out. Like always if you have any requests then please let me know and if your ideas are used for the story then I promise I will credit you. Until next time my friends.
