Chapter 21:
Uncharted Space,
The room was entirely black, offering the individual nothing to indicate where he was. However, for someone like him there was no mistaking where he was.
Once more he tested the strength of the chains. Putting as much energy into it as he could.
Still, he quickly found his energy being zapped from him. Just like every other time he tried.
Giving up, he just continued to wait for something to happen. What else could he do?
He growled at that last thought. His Saiyan blood was boiling at the thought of being in this position and it was getting to the point where he believed it would drive him to the point of insanity.
Still the other part of him, the true side of him anyway, took dominance and kept everything together.
Despite how his situation appeared now, he would not allow himself to conjure up something that he knew was far above him...fear.
No, no matter how long it took and what he had to go through at the hands of his captives, he would not give in.
He smirked, "they still think they can do this to me, a God!"
How preposterous. No one can control what is above them.
They were just lucky that he had a worthless hide of a body to be stuck in. Whatever they believed, especially that filthy lizard, in the end he would be the one to get what was rightfully his.
His smirk turned into a malicious smile, and he could not help but let out a laugh equal to it.
"Your time is coming Goku."
Earth,
"Absolutely not!"
As expected, Chi-Chi was right in Goku's face, beyond angry with him after what he had just explained to her.
"But Chi-Chi," Goku stuttered. Kefla saw that he was visibly shook up and was trying to back away from his wife.
Chi-Chi threw her hands up, "I can't believe you. We have a child on the way Goku and your just going to walk out on me to go and train!?"
Goku shook his head, "I know it seems like that but I'm not Chi-Chi. What I'm telling you is true, please realize that!"
Chi-Chi did not say anything for a moment, just standing there seething.
Not thinking what this meant, Goku tried to approach his wife.
This was a big mistake however for Goku when out of nowhere he felt the stinging slap of Chi-Chi's hand across his face.
The blow did not do much to him, but the fact that she did it stunned Goku and he backed up from her with an equally shocked expression.
Tears forming in her eyes, Chi-Chi pointed a heated finger at him. "I'm sick of this Goku. Your actions have done nothing but put that much more of a struggle onto me. And of course it all fly's over your head no matter how many times it happens."
Goku rubbed his cheek were his wife had slapped him, "Chi-Chi?"
Chi-Chi turned from him, "I'm sorry to say it Goku but...your an idiot. A sorry excuse for a husband and as a father."
Her words struck Goku hard in the chest and drove him to a cold silence.
Chi-Chi turned back around, "if you really enjoy being this way then you can find somewhere else to do it because I just can't take it anymore."
Kefla stared at Goku for a second, "are you okay?"
He looked at her but did not say anything. This did not matter to Kefla, his expression told her everything.
Despite her better judgement, Kefla's anger flared before she turned to face Chi-Chi.
The other did not falter and returned the same heated glare that Kefla gave her.
It was at that moment that things seemed like they were going to explode.
However, this was all stopped by the ring of a telephone.
Suddenly, Chi-Chi's expression changed drastically.
Goku saw this and instantly reached for the phone.
He put it to his ear, and before he knew it there was the voice of some person he did not recognize at all on the other end.
"Chi-Chi?"
Confused Goku opened his mouth to say something in response but this person cut him off with the next line that cut a further line into Goku's heart.
"Chi-Chi listen, I got the tickets ready for us. I'll be by sometime latter tonight just like we planned. There's some last minute things I got to check up on before then so be ready. I love you, and our child greatly. I'll see you soon."
Whoever it was ended the call abruptly and the line went silent.
Hand shaking, Goku dropped the phone and turned to look at his wife.
Her expression was similar to his, shock. Though unlike earlier, her's was laced entirely with fear while his was something completely different.
"Goku?", Kefla asked cautiously.
He put a hand up and shook his head. Kefla understood and let the question die.
Goku turned his attention back to his wife.
Wife, could he even call her that now.
Chi-Chi opened her mouth to speak but anything she could have said was cut down by the look Goku was giving her.
A cord in Goku's neck was throbbing and two singular strings of hate filled tears were beginning to run down his eyes.
"Chi-Chi, how could you!?", Goku said in a tense whisper.
Chi-Chi took a step toward him, "Goku I."
She stopped in her tracks by Goku's sudden explosion
"How you could you!", Goku yelled at her.
He clenched his teeth and fists, not believing what was happening. His wife had lied to him. Not just about the fact that she had been sleeping with someone else, but the fact that the child within her that he had grown to love with his very being had turned out to not be his at all. No, it belonged to some low-life he didn't know along with...her!
Chi-Chi began to ramble a bit about how sorry she was but at this point Goku had heard enough of her crap.
"Kefla?", Goku asked in a tense voice.
"Yes?", Kefla replied.
Goku told her to go outside and wait for him. He told her he would not be long.
Kefla did not like the idea of doing that based on how things looked but by now she realized how her part in this had lost its touch.
Uncharted Space,
"What's the calculated time slot for our destination?", Frieza asked his chief technician.
The other looked the data pad for a moment before replying, "its hard to tell for certain my lord but based on the calculations I've gathered it should take us about 3 months to get to Earth at the rate were going."
Frieza frowned and turned away for a second.
Three months? Frieza was not sure he could last that long. With everything lined up and ready a huge gap like that would be strenuous to keep straight.
"Are you sure there's no way to get us going at a faster rate?", Frieza asked.
The technician went to work on his data pad for a second, "there could be a change to cut the time in half if we pushed it, but I'm not certain that's a good position to put the ship in after all the damage we took to get to the planet that held the Black Star Dragon Balls."
Frieza turned back to the other with a menacing glare, "well you better find a solution to this little problem right?"
The technician gulped and nodded rapidly, "yes my lord."
Frieza nodded and dismissed the other.
When he was gone Frieza called for someone else.
This new individual came in with the artifact in his hand.
"Ah," Frieza picked it up.
The devilish architectural style of the object fit well in the hands of someone like himself.
However, it would be better suited on the face of someone more deserving of it.
Author's Note: Until next time my friends!
