setting- void. We see Goku flying through it with the heap of metal that used to be an android.


The darkness was stifling- eerily silent, yet the silence was loud. Goku was regreting
pushing that button. The minute he had, a blinding light had erupted from the rubble of the
android and envoloped both the saiyen and the robot, and here they were- Flying through space at
breakneck speed. Actually, it was void, as there were no stars, planets, comets, nothing. There
wasn't even air, yet Goku was still breathing. But in all the emptiness, there had to be SOMETHING
there- otherwise how would they be traveling so quickly without any type of propulsion? It
seemed like the trip took an eternity, though in reality, it was only a few seconds. All the while,
though it was a very short while, Goku was wondering where he was, and where he'd end up. One
unpleasant thought kept running through his mind- 'what if it was a self-destruct button and I'm
stuck here forever?' But, then, abruptly, it all stopped, and Goku was dropped from the sky onto
what appeared to be the antarctic tundra. The remains of the android landed with a loud 'Clang!'
on top of him, and he got up with a groan, causing them to fall to the cold ground with another
loud crash. Looking around, he wondered where he was, and assumed he was in the Polar regions-
Antartica perhaps. Wherever it was, it was cold, and if he didn't find shelter or warmth soon, he
was liable to freeze. So he began flying, searching for a familiar ki, because he had a feeling
that the button was a transportation device; what Bulma had said was making sense 'He just
vanished....' The two androids that had attacked Gohan and Vegeta had teleported away, all, most
likely, to the same spot. Somewhere in Antarctica... But where?

Suddenly, he began to pick up a familiar Ki- Gohan's. Weak at first, it got stronger, and
a few minutes later he sensed Vegeta. Their power levels seemed to be about right, so they couldn't
be hurt too badly. He flew faster, pushing himself to his maximum, which was hard to do because of
the fierce wind and intense coldness that was threatining to overcome him. He might be a Saiyen, but
he could still freeze. Finally, much later, he sensed that he had somehow passed up both ki's, and
doubled back, almost frozen. Soon he felt he had passed them again, and he turned back one more
time, determined to find their exact location. when he felt that he was directly above them, he looked
down, but all that was there was the same frozen land he had been flying across these past hours.
Goku was completely confused, and thought for a minute that his senses were being affected because
of the cold. But he quickly pushed this thought away to make room for a new idea- What if they were
underground?

So Goku dove downward, intending to drill a hole in the ground using his body. The
thought that it might not work, or that he was wrong, never occured to him until.... CRASH!! Goku
came to a dead halt, though not by his own choice. There seemed to be a large invisible
structure blocking his way. while he was sliding helplessly off the top, his body stunned from the
inpact, he realized that he could actually see what he was sliding off of, and when he hit the ground
with yet another loud crash, he saw a very well camouflaged building. He had discovered Ian's
labratory, and, examining the large door quickly, he discovered that a key of some sort was needed.
As he did not have that key, he decided to try to force his way in. He didn't start with Ki this time,
and instead punched the door in. At least, he *tried* to. After about twenty of his strongest punches,
the door did not have so much as a scratch, let alone a dent. The door was made of stronger metal
than the androids. For the first time in his life, Goku felt completely helpless. After a minute of trying
to decide what to do, he began punching the door again, not so much to break it down, but really
just to vent his anger. The following thoughts were going through his head while he worked on
the door.

"Why can't I get through this?" *punch*

"Why does GOHAN always get kidnapped?" *punch*

"Why not me?" *punch*

"Or Krillan?" *punch*

"Or Yamcha?" *punch*

"Or how about Piccolo?" *punch*

Normally he wouldn't wish his freinds were taken, but his rage was blinding him, causing
him not to notice that Gohan's Ki was getting weaker. He eventually let it all out, and collapsed into
the ice and snow, tired and freezing, and with no ideas as to what to do.

scene- Ian's lab. He has just taken out another device that looked like a helmet, and was walking
toward Gohan.


"Now then, if you won't give me energy, you know I have to take it from you." He said adressing
Gohan. "This will most likely leave you completely drained, and will hurt a bit if you struggle,
but its for my own good. Heh heh. Android, the suspension, please." A miniture android came out
of a back room and pointed a small square metal box at Gohan, and pressed one of the buttons.
Instantly, Gohan was frozen in place, unable to move at all.

"What the.. ahgh, no! I can't move!" He thought, panicked. Ian opened the container, and put the
device on Gohan's head. He had decided to do Gohan first, because he was still working on a device that would
fit over Vegeta's hair.

"You may turn off the suspension." Ian told the android, and off it went as the android left the room.
Gohan could suddenly move again as Ian walked over to the controls. Thinking quickly, Gohan's hands flew
to his head, and he tried to pull the thing off. But Ian had already activated it, and it sent a series of electrical
jolts down his spine, and Gohan fell against one of the walls as it began the slow process of draining his
energy. At first it felt like just a tingling sensation in the back of his head, but then it grew to a loud buzzing
that only he could hear. He tried to pull it off again, but even more electric shocks followed, worsening
his condition. Meanwhile, Ian had called the android back in, and had Vegeta suspended. He had just
put a band around his head and activated it, when the sound of Goku's punches finally made it through the
sound-proof walls. Gohan was finding it hard to think strraight, and the buzzing in Vegeta's head had just
intensified, but they both heard it, and both knew that Goku had finally come. But Ian didn't even seem
worried. He acted as though he did this routinely, and was expecting all of this to happen.

"Ah so the Super Saiyen has arrived. Don't look so stunned, I know he is a Super Saiyen
because I read your minds earlier. I should probably let him in- it must be terribly cold outside." Ian
walked over to the door and entered a command. First the door on the outside opened, much to Goku's
shock, and them the second one, addmitting him to a very vulnerable Ian.

Goku flew in, and grabbed Ian by his lab coat, holding him off the ground as the doors ground
shut behind him. His eyes flew to Gohan, who was nearly out of it, then to Vegeta, who was having a hard
time keeping his usual scowl.

"What did you do to them?" Goku was having a hard time keeping his voice calm.

"Really, I don't know what you're talking about. Now would you please release me so we
can clear up this whole misunderstanding?" Goku complied, though reluctantly. "Thank you. Now then,
These two came to me like this. Some of my androids went haywire, and did this to them. Those
cases they are in are rescusitation chambers, and they will be well in no time. I apoligize.
Actually, I want to make it up to you. You must be so cold. You don't look so good. You could go
in the last one, and you'll feel like a new man." Unfortunatly for Goku, Ian was a very good liar.
Vegeta, however, was still strong enough to talk.

"Don't listen to him, Kakarot! He's lying!" but that was all he had strength to say.
Goku, however, knew he felt fine, and wasn't about to go accepting any offers from people who
might be killers in their spare time.

"No. I feel fine. What I don't get, is why Vegeta would accept hospitality from you." He
was incredibly suspicious. Vegeta was one of the most stubborn people he knew, and was known
to go on training even if he had a serious injury. But he didn't want to go jumpimg to conclusions.
Ian's smile however, turned to a frown, and he said in a low tone

"You are as stubborn as they are. No matter. You can't get out, but I can. I WILL have
your energy!" With that, an android came out and picked up Ian. Before Goku could do anything,
they teleported away. Goku didn't have time to worry about this new problem, however, because
his freinds were looking worse and worse. He couldn't do anything to break the glass, and the laser
looked like it was powerfulenough to destroy a country by now. Goku rushed around trying to find
some sort of gadget to open the cases, when he slipped on a card-like thing.....the key card!

"Thank Kami for clumsy people," he thought desprately as he fitted it into the slot,
praying it would work. It did, and Soon both of them were free. There was only one problem-
how to deactivate the energy-takers. Fumbling with the control panel, Goku pressed every button,
causing the doors to fly open, letting in the snow and cold. Almost everything exploded, and finally
Goku pushed the button he had been avoiding- the little purple one that said 'do not push'

Lo and Behold, off came the helmet and band, and the laser deactivated itself.

Goku, who had been expecting another trip through void, picked up Vegeta and Gohan, who
were both limp as if dead, and began to fly home. As for Ian-he ended up __________________
