Yep, I'm gonna be creative enough to come up with a plotline surrounding seven dragon balls that when gathered call forth an eternal dragon that grants a wish, I think NOT! If you think so, you're loonier than a bed bug. I don't own them!
Author's Note:
I'm so sorry this took me so long. I was going to type it that Sunday, then I got busy, and you no how it goes. Don't haul out the pitchforks on me yet here, see I can post, I can! I've discovered perhaps that I shouldn't be left alone with a keyboard, I come up with things like this. Like what you ask? Well read and find out! And Comment! How else will I know if you like it, I don't have ESP you know. Oh, and I thought about it, and this strikes me more as a drama than action adventure so I changed it. Sorry.
Outbreak: Weird Science (part 5)
Chi Chi felt hot tears trail down her face. Now she understood Goku's own tear streaked façade. It was so frustrating to listen to her son wail in pain and know that she couldn't do a thing about it. It seemed that Goku really was the strong one. He, at least, was brave enough to sit and attempt to comfort their son.
A nasty looking cloud rolled its way over head from Satan City. Thunder, lightning, and rain tailed the dark mass. It reflected the mood of the day. A flash of the said lightning lit the window Chi Chi stood next to. The inevitable thunder coincided with another muffled scream from her son. Chi Chi steeled her nerves and fairly ran back to her two boys.
Goku sat on the couch holding Gohan on his lap. The saiyen murmured and gently rocked the boy back and forth. Chi Chi sat next to him and reached a tentative hand out to stroke the hair on the back of Gohan's head. She leaned down by her son and began speaking to him gently; saying things only a mother could get away with. It was in this close proximity that she was made aware of the sobbing in-between her son's screams.
Quite out of the blue, Goku's entire body stiffened. Sensing her husband' sudden distress, Chi Chi touched her hand to his shoulder. " Goku, what is it? What's wrong?"
Goku swallowed hard and wrapped his arms tighter around their son. "Back up Chi Chi. Gohan is building up his ki, and I don't know just what he is going to do with it!"

"Doctor, we are above the dwelling of you desired test subjects. How do you wish my mission to be accomplished?"
"Use the Transportola Neela. That way we won't have to bodily deal with the squirming monkeys. Begin transport now Neela."
"As you wish doctor, so shall be done."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Death and destruction. The need to kill. A Saiyen's instincts are based on these things. But Gohan wasn't raised a Saiyen. These feelings were relatively foreign to him. Yet here they were, popping out of him like a jack out of its box. The corner of his mind that was yet able to think coherently realized these feelings were brought up do to the situation. The battle at hand.
Oh yes, it was a battle. Indeed, a battle for his very sanity and Gohan knew it. If he had to, he would burn this bug from his body; at last, he would be rid of it! A bug, a picture of it was created in his mind. A mini Freeza, no, millions of mini Freeza's infested him. Freeza took his father away from him, Freeza had to die!!!
No, wait, the bug wasn't Freeza. Only a virus, nothing to loose his mind about, right? Yes of course, only a virus. That is what he had heard his parents say. The thing that had swept acrossed Satan City. It was hurting people, hurting people! Hurting him. Things that caused so many so much pain, had to die, die! Gohan had to kill it, it had to die!!!
Yes, he would burn it. He would sizzle it from the face of the planet! What was this? The virus, could it manifest a solid form larger than himself? It, it had a hold on him. It trapped him with things that felt like arms. Trapped? Trapped! Gohan screamed and began to raise his ki. He would burn it, fry it to oblivion, but first he must be free of it!
Ahh! It knew of his plans. It must for it now held him tighter and a beam of light surrounded it. Gohan looked around. The light surround both of them, but not his mother, he had a mother? His mother sat screaming, screaming about what was happening. What was happening? He didn't know, but the light grew. It enveloped his captor and himself; he could no longer see Chi Chi. Being blinded made Gohan loose what little control he had over his heightened ki level. He screeched and released the energy in an all body explosion.
At once he realized two things. One, his captor was no longer there. And two, the pain was gone again. If the thing that had trapped was no longer next to him, it did not mean that it was not in the room with him. Gohan stood and rounded on his heels to scan the room. Where was he? Last he had checked he was not in a cold, unfeeling, metal enclosed room. But no evil giant virus. Only his dad getting up in the corner of the room.
His dad? Things that felt like arms encircling him? Gohan swallowed hard and steadied his knees. He had thought his dad was the enemy. His sweet, loving, if a bit childish, father. Tears of grief stung Gohan's eyes and ran down the pre-made trails on his face. He ran to his father and wailed, "Daddy! I'm so sorry! Oh daddy, I didn't mean it! I thought, I thought you were… Never mind. I'm sorry!"
Goku managed to look like he had no bruises on his torso and no blood coming from a gash on his side do to being thrown into a metal bunk of sorts. He smiled and knelt to Gohan's level. He cupped his son's chin in one hand and rubbed the tears away from Gohan's eyes with the thumb of the other. "It's not your fault Gohan, don't worry about it. Are you better now?"
Gohan sniffled and smiled too. "Thank you dad. I think so, for now. Where are we dad?"
Goku reached a hand behind his head and stared around the room for a moment. Two bunks with mattress looking things on them and a latrine of sorts all made out of a solid metal greeted him. He opened is mouth as if to answer when a wheezy laugh echoed around the enclosure. A view screen appeared on one wall of the room. A, thing, laughed at them through the visual. A thing that managed to look remarkably feminine when Goku was sure it was masculine.
A face the color of Jade harbored emerald lips too large and sulky for the delicate cheeks. Large oval eyes tipped down slightly toward the thing's nose. The solid purple of them matched the color of the hair that defined the face. The nose stood out like a knife, just as thin and narrow, from the green face. Both delicate, feminine, purple eyebrows were raised up, nearly covered by bangs, with the thing's laughter. Two lavender bangs swept down his face, the rest of it fell straight down its back and out of sight, covering any ears that may be there in the process.
It settled its mirth and looked directly into the view screen. "I suppose you two would like to know where you are, hmm? First I will go through the niceties your society thinks is so necessary. I am Darlanton, scientist extrodinar, and creator of the virus that has crept into your lives. You are Son Goku and Son Gohan, my new test subjects."
"What! Gohan and I will not be any 'test subjects' of yours! Gohan, let's get out of here!" This Goku tried very well to do. He charged a ki blast and threw it at a convenient wall. Only to have it disappear as if it had never been. Undeterred, Goku clenched his hand into a fist and hit the wall with all of his might. To no avail.
The creature laughed again. "Oh, you monkey breeds are so entertaining! You will not get anywhere doing that. The metal you see there, it is ca'da'sore. Specially formulated to absorb the force behind any sort of attack. Very useful for keeping animals like you penned. You are mine now, and you will never see the light of day again!"
Hmm, look at what I am doing here. All well. Hey, did I describe Darlanton all right? I hope so. I was writing this and just kept getting visuals of a crazy Gohan. It wasn't a pretty sight. My poor baby!
And just so you know I do appreciate it, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HAS COMMENTED!!!!!
