I don't own Dragon Ball Z or its characters, but my OC, Chika Son

Chika Son: Goku's Daughter

Chapter 22: Held Captive

Bulma, Krillin, Gohan and Chika were surrounded by armed children.

Then older boy steps forward, who was apparently the leader of the group.

"Please listen!"Gohan protested. "You must have us confused from someone else! We're from Planet Earth!"

Then the older boy fired a shot, which landed not far from where Gohan was standing.

Gohan became quiet and froze in fear.

"I don't want to hear anymore of your talking."the older boy responded.

"Hey, leave my brother alone!"Chika snapped rushing in front of Gohan. "He did nothing wrong!"

"Come on, guys!"Krillin protested. "We have nothing against you! You attacked us so we had to defend ourselves! You gotta believe me!"

"Shut up!"the older boy scoffed.

Krillin dodged the weapon fire from the older boy's gun.

"Hey!"Bulma shouted. "Why don't you three try to be quiet for a change! Your going get us all killed!"

The children pointed their guns at Bulma.

"Easy now kids, I am not trying to hurt anyone."Bulma said.

Krillin looked at the Son twins.

"Gohan, Chika, I think we should power up."Krillin suggested.

The trio prepare to power up.

A little girl with an alternate teddy-bear called Emi, kicked Krillin in the shin before going back to the older boy.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!"Krillin growled in pain. "Hey! What was that?!"

"Don't move or I will shoot you, I swear!"the older boy threatened.

Krillin gritted his teeth.

Then a second boy with a bandaged cheek steps forward.

"Zeshin, why don't you just kill them all right now?"the second boy questioned. "They must be allies with Frieza!"

"I'm sorry, you four shouldn't have come here."Zeshin said.

Krillin, Gohan and Chika glared at him.

Suddenly the entire Mirror spaceship started to shake and alarms go off.

"What's going on?"Zeshin asked.

"We just fallen into another asteroid field, sir!"a little boy responded.

Zeshin lowered his gun and headed to the cockpit.

"Keep an eye on those four!"Bun ordered. "If they do anything strange, you have permission to shoot them!"

He then rushed after Zeshin.

The armed kids began to get scared as another asteroid hit the ship causing it to shake.

"Krillin!"Bulma called out. "Quick! Come and get me out of this thing!"

"Ready, kids?"Krillin asked.

Gohan and Chika nodded in agreement.

The three warriors flew up to set Bulma free.

After that, Bulma, Krillin, Gohan and Chika ran away from their captors.

Krillin and the Son twins stopped running hearing the children cry.

"They sound so scared."Chika said softly.

"Hey guys!"Bulma shouted. "Let's get moving! We are in a middle of an asteroid field here! Any ship can get hit, if there are kids on the control! Now let's go!"

"Bulma, we can't leave them like this."Gohan admitted.

"But if we don't get out of here, we're dead!"Bulma reminded.

Then the ship shook again causing a giant ceiling panel to come loose to crush several children but Gohan, Chika and Krillin caught it just in time.

"You guys, okay?"Krillin asked.

An orange haired boy nodded his head.

"Good!"Krillin replied.

Krillin and the Son twins threw the giant panel away.

Zeshin brought up his goggles and was surprised of what he just witnessed.

"What's going on here?"Bun asked as he rushed forward.

Then a fire broke out from another part of the ship.

"Please help us!"A girl begged.

"Follow me!"Krillin said.

Krillin, Gohan and Chika rushed where the fire broke out.

"I'll take care of this!"Zeshin stated.

He ran after the three warriors.

"Great, why do they have to be such heroes?"Bulma muttered.

Then there was another shake in the ship causing Bulma to drop on the floor.

"Hey!"Bulma snapped angrily. "Who in the world is flying this ship?!"

The blue haired woman stood up and headed to the bridge.

Krillin, Gohan and Chika helped Zeshin man the hoses together to take out the fire.

Bulma went to the pilot seat after moving Bun out of the way.

"Let me do this."Bulma suggested. "I'm a pro at this sort of thing, after all."

"How can we trust you!?"Bun questioned.

"W-we don't need your help!"the little boy snapped.

"Letting me do this is better than getting everyone killed, right?"Bulma asked. "Let's see this and this controls the ascent and this is left and right. Which one is the speed control? Hurry up and tell me or we are all history!"

"T-the keys on the left side."the little boy answered nervously.

"Okay, got it."Bulma responded and began to type on the controls.

Bulma started piloting the giant ship, expertly guiding it through the rest of the meteors.

Gohan managed to rescue Emi from an exploding fuel line, directing enough of his own energy to shield her from the blast.

This left Zeshin and his comrades stunned.

"Whoa..."A brown haired boy said in surprise.

"Awesome, big brother!"Chika chuckled.

Bulma brought the ship away from the asteroid field.

"I thought we were gone there for a second."Bulma remarked with a smile.

Bun and his comrades pointed their guns at Bulma.

"Nice!"Bulma snapped. "I saved your lives and this is what I get? Guns pointed at my face!"

"Yeah cause we still don't trust you!"the little boy replied.

"You and your friends are responsible for destroying our home!"Bun said with a glare.

"Look I think this is all a big mix up!"Bulma protested. "Tell me what friends are you talking about?"

"Don't pretend you don't know!"the little boy growled.

"We are talking about your buddy named Frieza!"Bun responded.

"Frieza?"Bulma said in confusion.

Krillin, Gohan and Chika rushed towards the cockpit.

"Bulma!"Krillin called out.

The other kids pointed their guns at the three warriors.

"Krillin! Gohan! Chika! Tell them!"Bulma suggested. "These kids think we know someone called Frieza!"

"We don't think lady, we know!"the little boy answered. "Look how strong your brothers and sister are!"

"First of those three are not my brothers and sister!"Bulma snapped. "Second, don't accuse us of being friends with someone we don't know!"

"I say we throw these liars out in the air lock now!"Bun ordered.

"I don't think so."Zeshin admitted as he walked forward.

"Zeshin?"the little boy asked.

"It's alright, everyone."Zeshin assured. "You can put your weapons down."

"Have you lost your mind?"Bun questioned. "These four are allied with Frieza! We have to treat them like a real threat and eliminate them!"

"Ugh!"Chika shouted in anger. "How many times do we have to say we are not bad guys?!"

"If they are allied with Frieza, explain why did they chose to help us out?"Zeshin asked. "They would've killed us just like he killed our parents."

"These people care about us!"Emi agreed. "They are not like Frieza and his men! They wouldn't attack us in the middle of the night without warning us?"

Bun walked up to Gohan and looked into his eyes, remembering seeing his parents killed by a soldier as well as receiving the scar on his cheek.

He does not see the same evil that was in the soldier's eyes in Gohan's and walked away.

"I think we can trust them."Bun admitted with a smile.

Gohan looked surprised while Chika simply huffed.

"Bun?"Zeshin asked.

"Well, I'm glad you guys believe us now."Bulma said with a relieved smile.

"I wonder the men that attacked with Frieza were saiyans."Krillin said and looked at Zeshin. "Hey, do you remember the people that conquered your planet had tails that came about this far?"

"A tail?"Zeshin repeated. "I didn't see a tail on any of them."

"Oh well, so much for that theory, Krillin."Krillin mumbled.

"That means there are group of warriors out there more evil than saiyans."Bulma admitted.

"What kind of planet did you live on before Frieza?"Gohan asked.

"Our planet was successful and a very peaceful place to live."Zeshin explained. "Until they came and took our peace! Those guys appeared before us without any warning. They said they were going to deliver our world to Freiza and whoever doesn't name him ruler would be killed. Most of the people accepted Freiza as their king, but then the invaders suddenly started killing everyone that came across their path. They were going to kill all the people who were on the planet and turn it over to Frieza. Men, women and children! It was terrible."

"It must've been very difficult for you to escape."Krillin said.

"The few adults who realized Frieza's true intention was had their kids escape in spaceships."Zeshin commented. "But all of the other spaceships were chased down by Frieza and shot down! We are not destroyed because of our ship's mirror-clad."

"These kids are sort of like Pigero and the other orphans."Chika thought sadly. "They lost their parents and have to learn how to survive on their own."

"Mirror-clad spaceship?"Bulma asked. "I see, so the mirrors reflect outer space. That explains why we couldn't see you in our radar. Your people must have scientific minds to invent such a ship."

"So where are you guys going now?"Chika asked. "Do you have any destination?"

"Yeah, there's a planet where our dads used to travel to on business long ago."Zeshin responded. "We're sure that they will take us in without question."

"Is this planet far?"Bulma asked.

"Yes, it is."Zeshin answered. "We'll get to that planet, no matter how many years it takes."

Bulma, Krillin, Gohan and Chika smiled in approval.

Afterwards...

It was time for the four companions to bid farewell to Zeshin and his companions.

"Well, good luck to all of you."Krillin remarked.

"Thanks guys and same to you."Zeshin replied.

"See ya."Gohan commented.

"And be careful out there."Chika complemented.

"Come on, guys."Bulma said. "We've lost quite a bit of time, so we need to hurry."

"Hey, it's okay, Bulma."Krillin assured with a smile. "It's not like Namek is going anywhere."

"Wait a minute."Zeshin said. "You four are going to Namek?"

"Sure are."Krillin replied. "You know of it?"

"I think we passed it around two or three weeks ago."Emi replied.

"If you had to the direction KS-162, there should be quite a shortcut."Zeshin admitted.

You mean it?"Bulma asked as she moved forward.

"Yeah."Zeshin replied with a nod.

"So head to the direction KS-162, right?"Bulma remarked. "Thank you! Come on, let's go!"

The blue haired woman dragged Krillin and the Son twins to the Namek ship.

In Space...

The Namek ship flew away from the Mirror spaceship.

In the Namek ship...

"Take us to the direction KS-162 system and head to Planet Namek."Bulma ordered to the controller. "I'm glad they mentioned that shortcut."

Bulma notice Krillin's expression.

"What's the matter?"Bulma asked.

"Oh, I'm just wondering about who is this Freiza guy those kids were talking about."Krillin responded.

"But they said the attackers weren't saiyans, right?"Bulma asked.

"It just sounded like something saiyans would do."Krillin commented.

They've got nothing to do with us.

"Try not to think about that Krillin."Bulma replied as she stood up. "Well, I'm going to bed. I'm completely exhausted."

A moment after, Krillin and the Son twins rest comfortably in their futons at the foot of Bulma's once-again-cluttered bunk.

Suddenly the ship started to shake causing the three warriors to wake up immediately.

"What in the world is that?!"Chika demanded in fright.

"Don't know!"Gohan responded.

"Bulma!"Krillin shouted. "Something is happening to the ship!"

"Don't worry Krillin."Bulma replied. "The shortcut is taking a storming shape, don't be a wimp."

The woman went back to sleep.

"How can she sleep through all that shaking?"Krillin asked.

Then the shaking got more intense causing everyone and everything to start bouncing around the cabin.

In Space...

The Namek ship flew past the unsettling storm, it stopped shaking.

In the Namek ship...

"I think it stopped."Krillin said.

An empty soda can dropped on Gohan's head while a book landed on Chika's face.

Bulma opened her eyes and found herself in a compromising position with Krillin and promptly slapped him.

"That was really uncalled for Bulma."Krillin said in pain.

"Don't ever put your hands from me again while I am sleeping!"Bulma snapped with a glare.

"No, Bulma!"Gohan protested. "It looked a lot worse then it really was!"

"I know what I saw and I know I didn't sleep on Krillin's lap!"Bulma retorted.

"Eesh, I can't imagine anyone who would be sleeping while going up and down."Chika muttered.

"Guys, check it!"Bulma stated with a smile. "Yes, it's Namek! We finally made it!"

Krillin, Gohan and Chika look out the view-port and saw the Planet Namek.

"Weird, I thought it would take us a few more days to get to Namek."Chika stated.

Bulma placed on her clothes.

"That was sure a fast trip, huh guys?"Bulma asked as she placed on her yellow jacket. "It it weren't for that shortcut, we would be half way there."

"Are you sure that's..."Krillin started.

"Planet Namek?"Gohan finished.

"Trust me, it is Planet Namek."Bulma assured. "Now let's go find those dragon balls!"

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
