Chapter Seven
"That'll never work!" Trunks yelled, "Not in a million years!"
"It's the only chance we have!" Gohan reminded him.
"Shouldn't we let our dad's handle this?" Goten asked.
"What could they do?" Gohan asked.
"I don't know, what can you do," Trunks argued, "you can't see her either!"
"Right now I can't," Gohan smiled, "but I'll be able to in a minute."
"What are you talking about?" Goten wondered.
"In the book I found a way to make a person able to see one from the other realm" Gohan told them.
"Then why don't we make our dad's able to see them?" Trunks reminded him.
"Two reasons," Gohan opened the book, "number one, they're not here and we're in a big hurry, number two, there's a cut off age for this to work, you have to be a child-"
"But kids can see her, that's stupid!" Trunks sighed.
"Let me finish," Gohan continued, "you have to be a child that for some reason the ability was prematurely forgotten."
"Meaning?" Goten was confused.
"Meaning, a kid that thinks he's an adult." Trunks explained, "which would defiantly be Gohan all right."
"Well, we need to hurry up, she's coming!" Goten said as he looked over the ledge.
"Okay," Gohan flipped to the page he need and grabbed something out of his pocket. He made a circle on the ground and stood in the middle, "'From the lips of one that forgot to young, let the power return'," he threw what he was holding in the air and as it landed back onto him a strange glow was around him.
"Did it work?" Goten whispered to Trunks.
"I don't know, looks like it to me," Trunks looked over the ledge, "we'll be finding out real soon!"
"It worked!" Gohan shouted with excitement as he saw Locoyus land in front of them.
"That's nice," Trunks said sarcastically, "hurry up and open the gate- "
"Yeah!" Goten chimed in, "so we can kick some butt!!"
"You won't be living long enough for that to happen!" Locoyus smirked.
"Sure we will," Gohan was amazed that he could see her.
"Um," Goten tugged on Gohan's shirt sleeve.
"What?!" Gohan looked down at his brother very annoyed.
Goten motioned for his older brother to bend down so that he could whisper in his ear. Gohan rolled his eyes and did as his brother wished.
"This had better be good," he mumbled under his breath.
"We still have to find the gate," Goten reminded him. Gohan stood up and patted his little brother on the head and smiled, "Have faith in your older brother, okay?"
"Enough!" Locoyus yelled, "Enough of the talking! It's time to die little brats! You will not stop me from opening the gate!!"
She rushed towards them with her fist clenched ready to fight. The three boys instinctively avoided her attack. Locoyus expected as much and was well prepared for the battle. She quickly turned around to pursue them. Gohan saw that she was closing in on them fast. He motioned for Trunks and Goten to slit up. He was hoping that she would go after him, since he had the book, however, she went after Goten instead.
"Great!" Gohan said in alarm as he quickly made a 180 and pursued Locoyus who was pursuing Goten.
Gohan tried to catch up with her but she was fast! She was gaining on Goten, and she'd have him in a matter of seconds if he didn't do something- but what could he do? He had to catch her. Gohan stepped on the 'gas' and was almost in hitting range when Locoyus grabbed Goten by the ankle and slammed him into the ground, shaking the whole area. Gohan quickly landed in front of her and watched with painful eyes as she picked up his little brother and thrust her arm into him. He'd never heard his brother scream like that before, with so much pain.
"STOP IT!!" Gohan yelled so loud that it echoed across the mountains, "Leave him alone!"
"Ha," Locoyus sneered, "and just who is going to make me, you?" she let out a laugh. Gohan felt so helpless, she was right, there was nothing he could do. He was going to have to watch his brother die.
"Aaahhh!!!!!!!" Goten yelled as she dug her hand in deeper, "GOHAN!!"
Trunks finally found them and landed next to Gohan, "We have to do something!"
"But what?" Gohan tried to think of something. He looked around to see what was available for them to use, then he remembered the book.
"They can't help you!" Locoyus laughed at her victim.
"Hey!" Gohan yelled at her, "Leave him alone-"
"Or what?" she faced him to see that he was going to ripe the book in half.
"Now that I have your attention!" Gohan smiled, "Let go of my brother or the book is no more, which means you'll never open the gate!"
"Don't be so rash, boy," Locoyus sneered, "if the book is gone, then so will all life on this planet of yours."
"How so?" Gohan didn't believe her.
"If I can't open the gate with the book, then I will kill all life on this planet, that's how," she laughed.
"You can't do that!" Trunks yelled, then turned to Gohan and whispered, "Can she?" Gohan's head dropped, there was no way to hurt her, "I'm afraid she's-" A thought suddenly came to him out of nowhere. "Of course! Why didn't I see it before!"
"See what before, Gohan?" Trunks wondered what had dramatically changed his friends attitude.
"She's not really in our dimension all the way, you see, so she has to be somewhere totally," Gohan smiled, "she's somewhere we go all the time!"
"Huh," Trunks was a little lost.
"Think Trunks," Gohan said, "what do we do when our moms tell us not to fight in the house, but we can't go outside?"
Trunks understood what he was talking about, "I know what you're talking about! Where we go when we mentally train with each other! So, you think that's where we can hurt her, but how do we get her there?"
"No," Gohan sighed, "you're not following how she works. She's not really here with us, totally anyway. She is in the realm that we were talking about, but somehow she can reflect herself here into our world-" he looked at Trunks who was totally confused, "let me put it this way, she's using the realm kind of as a passageway to our realm, while still physically remaining in the middle realm. That's how she can do what she does! So, we can go into the realm right now, like we always do, except she'll be in there and we can hurt her in there- well theoretically anyway."
"Well," Trunks said impatiently, "what are we waiting for? Let's do it already!"
"No," Gohan held him back, "wait a minute-"
"What now!" Trunks was ready to fight.
"We might need some extra help," he turned to Trunks, "you hold her off a bit by yourself, while I contact a few people to join us."
"Okay," Trunks smiled, "if they get here in time they might be able to get in on the end of the action! When I get done with her, there's not going to be anything left!"
"She's tougher than she looks, don't underestimate her." Gohan warned.
"All right, all right," Trunks sat down, preparing to concentrate.
*What are they up to?* Locoyus wondered as she observed the two boys.
Gohan looked up at Goten and sent him a telepathic message of what was going on.
"You're gonna be sorry you messed with us lady-" Goten managed to say with a smile.
"Ha!" Locoyus looked down at the small pathetic boy she was holding, "You think so, boy! Ha! Even if you and your stupid little friends find a way to get on my level- I will still easily take care of you!"
Trunks was now prepared to start, but before he did he looked over at Locoyus to give her a fair warning, "Hey! Ugly lady over there!! You'd better get ready to get your ego shoved down that ugly neck of yours!"
"Idol threats will get you no where boy!" she laughed.
Goku and Chi-chi, after a thorough makeup where sitting on the couch in each others arms when Goku received a message from Gohan. He jumped up so fast that Chi-chi almost fell on the floor.
"Goku!" Chi-chi yelled as she barely caught herself from falling.
"Oh," Goku gently placed her back on the seat, "sorry about that."
"Is something the matter?" she asked as she looked at the all to familiar 'something's wrong face.'
"I just got a message from Gohan," he turned to see the worry begin to take over his wife's face. "The boys are in trouble and need my help."
"Well, go! Hurry, Goku!"
"Gohan said I can help from right here? I don't really understand it. Some how that evil lady that I told you about can be hurt in the mental training zone, or the middle realm as Gohan put it. So, as long as you don't distract me I should be able to help out right here."
"Well, whatever you have to do- do it now and save my poor babies!!!!"
***Kind of a shorter section, but I think it had a ton of stuff crammed in it=) Sorry to kind of leave you hanging right before the fight, but it's all coming up in the next section (which will be up soon) Let me know what you think=)
