Hi! The third part in this story. ^_^* I know it's been a while since I posted the second part, but I wasn't exactly sure what to write. Anyway, I've got it now, that's why you're reading this. If you haven't read any other of the parts, please do. It would be easier to understand if you did. Another thing: ~_~* Someone posted a flame on my "Spin The Plastic Pop Bottle" and called themselves "ice queen". I told her what happened on e-mail, and I KNOW FOR SURE it's not her. A little warning: If you get any reviews from me that aren't "signed" starting from today, it's not me. So don't send me flames. Sugar doesn't mix with it...except for marshmallows. Anyway, here's my story :o):
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi had had enough of sitting in her room, so she went to her kitchen to fix something to eat. There wasn't much left in the fridge. "He eats so much", Chi Chi said, and couldn't help smiling. (she's referring to Goku) Chi Chi finally dug something out of the fridge and got herself something to eat. "I wonder what happened to them", Chi Chi thought worriedly. "If they left in such a hurry it must have been something really bad". Chi Chi was about to wash the dishes when the phone rang. Chi Chi put down the washcloth and picked up the phone. "Chi Chi?" Bulma's voice on the other end said. "Hai", Chi Chi said into the phone. "Well...I need somebody to talk to. I can't sit here by myself, wondering what happened to Vegeta. I can't even argue with him!" Bulma said, sounding annoyed. "Maybe you could make me feel better", Bulma said. Chi Chi felt her own anger return. "I can't. I have no idea where Goku and Gohan have gone", Chi Chi sighed into the phone. "Are there any good things about them?" Bulma asked. Chi Chi hesitated. "Y-e-s. (stretch out the word) Why else would we be worrying about them right now?" she said. Bulma laughed. "Of course. Well my cooking's burning, I've got to go now! Bye!" Bulma said and quickly hung up.
*************************************************************************************************
Lunchi waited. Chi Chi's number had been busy. There was no one she could talk to, to ask if she had done the right thing. She dialed Bulma's number. It rung. Once...twice...three times. Four. Five. Lunchi knew that Bulma either went shopping or was busy. She hung up. "There wasn't another choice anyway. He kicked me out. I don't need to tell him anything. It's my life", Lunchi told herself, but she wasn't sure she believed it. Lunchi was about to take another quarter and try to call home. But then she remembered it wasn't "home" any more. She slipped the quarter back into her pocket. It was time to go for her appointment.
*************************************************************************************************
Bulma fanned the smoke away from the now empty pot. She had been making soup, but when you overcook soup, it evaporates. "Stupid stove!" Bulma said angrily. Bulma went back to checking the recipe. "What do I need?" Bulma muttered to herself. After fifteen minutes, she gave up. "I hate this! I don't like this stupid soup anyway!" Bulma said, very annoyed. Suddenly she started laughing. "When he's not here I have to insult my own cooking", Bulma said, smiling a little. "Just come back all in one piece, Veggie-chan".
*************************************************************************************************
The circle of fire surrounding the Z Senshi was blazing, and they all knew there was no escape. Piccolo flew up and sent blasts of energy at Obsidian. Obsidian merely laughed and disappeared. "I hate it when that guy does that!" Tien said angrily. Piccolo tried to find Obsidian's energy, since he had to be moving fast. But there was nothing. He couldn't find the power anywhere. It had been so obvious last night, but now in broad daylight it seemed to disappear. The fighters on the ground looked up. Gohan noticed a flash of black flitter behind Piccolo. "Piccolo! Behind you!" Gohan shouted up to his green friend. Piccolo turned around, but nothing happened. A sudden punch sent him falling forward. It was like a hand made from the strongest metal in the universe had hit him. "Obsidian!" Piccolo whipped around and started firing lasers madly at the air behind him. When it seemed like the lasers only penetrated air, one of them bounced off a flicker of black, starting a small spark.
"ARRGH!" Obsidian growled, and decided to change his target. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed the clown boy on the ground, still injured from his explosion. Obsidian sent more glass at him. "Chau-zhou!" Tien shouted. Too late. Pieces of balck glass stabbed into Chau-zhou's leg. Yamcha turned and threw a punch at Obsidian. "Wolf Fang Fist!". Goku went in the opposite direction to tackle Obsidian from behind. Obsidian punched Yamcha back. Goku fired a Kamehameha at Obsidian. Somehow Obsidian managed to kick Goku back, but Goku came right back at him. Vegeta was tired of watching and shot up in the sky with them. "Gallot Gun!" Vegeta hit Obsidian in his chest. "Eat this Vegetable head!" Obsidian shouted and shot glass shards all around him. Yamcha had no choice but to shield his eyes. Goku flew downwards, so he wouldn't injure his other eye. Vegeta continued firing at Obsidian, but when the glass cleared away, Obsidian was nowhere in sight.
"My leg!" gasped Chau-zhou. He couldn't move it, and it was in a puddle of blood. "Go back home Chau-zhou. You can't help us now. You'll just be easy bait for Obsidian!" Tien said and looked around. "Who's going to get him home?" Gohan asked, trying to keep his eye open for Obsidian. "I'll take him", Piccolo said. "I'll be back soon. Just get rid of this bloody mess". Gohan nodded. A huge splash nearly made them think that Obsidian had won, but he was still in the sky.
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi had just finished washing the dishes, and she was drying them. A jolt of pain shot through her, just below her stomach. Chi Chi dropped the plate she was holding and it broke into a million pieces on the ground. She ran to the bathroom and threw up into the toilet. Chi Chi still felt the pain; it was still there. All of a sudden she had to throw up again. Chi Chi could feel her head get all hot. That was when she knew something was wrong. She rushed and grabbed the phone. She called an ambulance.
When she got to the emergency room, she had to wait. During the fifteen minute wait Chi Chi had to throw up at least four times. (It's really amazing how many people are in the emergency, and how many more people are waiting; their situations are getting worse. I know this from two not very nice incidents: my grandmother having a heart attack and my friend having an operation)
The doctor checked her over and decided to take an X-ray. "There's something not right here, and I'm going to find out what it is", the doctor said, calling two nurses to wheel her to the room. The last thing Chi Chi remembered before blacking out was how much that doctor sounded like the Z Senshi when some evil force was attacking the Earth.
*************************************************************************************************
Goku, Yamcha and Vegeta were in the air, waiting for Obsidian to reappear. "Where is he?" Vegeta growled, running out of patience. A crackling sound came from beneath them. "Wha-?" Yamcha began, but he didn't get a chance to finish. Obsidian came from underneath them, at full speed, with a huge fireball heading straight for Yamcha. "AAAHHH!" Yamcha screamed as the fire ball hit him and sent him flying back to the ground. His clothes were on fire, and Gohan rushed to put the fire out. "That trick's getting a little old!" Vegeta snapped, and shot a beam at Obsidian.
Obsidian's figure once again faltered and disappeared. "He keeps on using these images", Goku said thoughtfully. Obsidian suddenly came between Goku and Vegeta and shot a black beam out from his hands. Goku tried to get underneath the beam and attempt to make Obsidian lose his concentration. Vegeta shot one of his beams and Obsidian's dark one, and tried to push it back at him. Obsidian knew his concentration was losing it, and he blew a ball of a molten lava, except black, at Goku, to stall time. Goku flipped Obsidian over, and Vegeta used a huge energy blast to cause a huge explosion, with Obsidian at the centre of it. Glass flew around everywhere, and fire dropped from the skies to the ground. "Dad!" Gohan said, afraid of what might have happened. Yamcha looked up too.
Vegeta and Goku had been so close to Obsidian that though they seemed to zap far away very quickly, the explosion seemed to keep coming - and so they had to shield themselves from the blinding blast. "AAAAIIIIIEEEE!" a horrible shriek came from the explosion. A piece of black glass fell to the ground, shattering.
Goku opened his eyes, his injured eye still stinging. He had scratches and cuts from the glass shards that Obsidian had dealt at him. Vegeta had torn armor. "Do - do you think that's it?" Tien asked. "I don't think so", Goku said seriously. The explosion had been huge, bigger and more powerful than the last one. And there had been a scream, and a chunk of armor fell to the ground. But that wasn't good enough. Obsidian could still be there.
A dark wind, not a fierce wind, but a gust of wind that had traces of black in it blew past Vegeta's face. "No. He's still here", Vegeta said, waiting for Obsidian to reappear.
A shadowy figure approached Yamcha and Gohan. He had spiked black hair. His eyes were an icy blue. His armor was scratched and the shining black from it had lost it's lustre and shimmer. But it was Obsidian still.
Goku suddenly felt something inside of him telling him something was wrong. But it wasn't the presence of Obsidian. "Then it means that she's -" Goku thought, but a voice interrupted him. "Duck, Kakarrot!" shouted Vegeta.
*************************************************************************************************
"Miss, I keep telling you, you have to have the operation. Cancer spreads quickly, and before you know it you won't be able to breathe. If you want a chance at living, I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN TO ME!" said the lady doctor angrily. "There's a slot tomorrow morning. You can have your operation then. I'm only trying to help you! What's wrong with that?". Lunchi didn't answer. She wanted to call someone, ask for help. "Missy, if you want to fulfill your dreams and live a longer life, you are going to have that operation. There are a lot of things you want to do, I know. You can't do them by dying", the doctor's words stung like pins pricking her skin.
"Alright", Lunchi finally agreed. There were a lot of things she meant to do. The first thing was go back and apologize. Life was too short to waste over a little argument like that. And then she wanted to live a life of a normal person. "Don't you want to live? Live like the other young women? Get married and have a family? There are a lot of things you could do Lunchi. Now could already be too late, but at least you're trying", the doctor said, softly now. "You have room number 385 on the 3rd floor. A nurse will wake you up tomorrow", said the lady doctor, and sent Lunchi up to her room.
*************************************************************************************************
"Mrs. Son? Are you feeling alright now?" the nurse asked. Chi Chi opened her eyes. Everything was blurry, and then came into focus. "W-what's wrong?" Chi Chi asked, feeling cold. "The doctor said that you have a tumour in your ovary. (no kidding, that happens)", the nurse said calmly. "What?!" Chi Chi gasped. "It's alright. The doctor already took an X-ray, and it seems it is not cancerous, but there are some cells that don't seem exactly right. But if you have an operation tomorrow, you have 70% chance you will be fine", the nurse said comfortingly. But that was not enough for Chi Chi. "What about the other 30%?" Chi Chi asked, afraid she knew the answer. "70 is greater than 30", the nurse told her. "Great, that didn't help", Chi Chi thought.
"Tomorrow? Do I have to?" Chi Chi asked. The nurse nodded. "Absolutely. You don't want it to get any bigger. It's been there for quite a while. It just didn't happen to get bad until this afternoon. You get a good rest. And don't eat anything until after your operation", the nurse told her and walked out the door. "Oh boy...", thought Chi Chi.
*************************************************************************************************
Taking Chau-zhou home had taken longer than Piccolo had thought. The whiny thing had kept saying he wanted to go back and help, and had to be literally dragged back to his house. "Come on. You need your rest. You have a broken leg", Piccolo said sarcastically, completely annoyed by now. Chau-zhou finally gave up and let himself be put on his bed and Piccolo left. "Now to get back to Obsidian. That huge explosion back there couldn't have meant good news", Piccolo said to himself, and flew full speed back to where the others were.
It was evening already. Chau-zhou was beginning to get worried. "I wonder how Tien and all of them are doing? What if Obsidian kills them?" he thought. After an hour, it was pretty obvious nothing had happened, and Obsidian probably hadn't won yet. Then Chau-zhou realized something else. "Where's Lunchi?" he thought. "Oh right...she said she'd move out. But there's something wrong, I can feel it!" he said to a nearby bird. The bird flew away quickly. Chau-zhou took the phone out of its cradle and dialed Bulma's number. "Bulma? Have you seen Lunchi? Did she call you?" Chau-zhou asked. "I have no idea. I'll ask Chi Chi. I'm sure she wouldn't have disappeared like that without a reason. Lunchi doesn't seem like she would just leave and not tell anyone where she was going", Bulma replied and hung up. Chau-zhou sighed. "Great", he thought.
*************************************************************************************************
"Hmm...that's funny. Chi Chi's not home. Maybe she went shopping. I'll call back another time", Bulma said, and dropped the subject.
*************************************************************************************************
That night, the moon was full. (I have this locket and it plays a tinkling kind of music. It's a really nice song, but at the same time it's spooky and sad when it's played in the dark of the night when there is only silence around it. This is the song I was hearing that inspired me to write this part) The moon shone brightly onto the Earth. The still night was so empty. Lunchi stared out the window. The moon was so beautiful, so perfect. But there was something wrong with it. "There's a sad face on it", Lunchi thought to herself. "Like mine". (Honestly, that's what I see when I look up to the full moon. It has two eyes that look sad, like they're waiting for something that has long gone. And the mouth is open, almost in a scary sort of way) Lunchi kept looking at the moon. "I wonder if he's thinking about me..." Lunchi thought. But she stopped herself. "He would never do that. He doesn't even care anymore". Silence filled the whole room. There were no sounds at night, not even the bugs flying outside.
*************************************************************************************************
Yamcha and Gohan watched in horror as Obsidian tried to hit Goku in the stomach with one of his now infamous glass shard blasts. Goku ducked just in time. "Let's go get him! We can't let Vegeta and Goku fight alone!" Piccolo's voice came from another direction. "Yeah!" Yamcha agreed. So Gohan, Tien, Piccolo and Yamcha flew up to join the two Saiyajins. "Solar Flare!" Tien tried to get Obsidian's armor to crack off some more. (i know it's night. but technically the moon's light is reflected off the sun, so it's good enough for me) "Kamehameha!" Gohan shot at Obsidian to get his attention. "Ha!" Obsidian threw a black beam at Gohan. Gohan dodged the attack and fired another Kamehameha at Obsidian.
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi at the same time was also looking at the moon. (enter creepy tinkly music) "Tomorrow am I going to be able to look at this same moon?" wondered Chi Chi sadly. There wasn't even anyone around her to comfort her or even be there if - if something happened. "Gohan, Goku, why did you leave me all alone when I needed you here?" she asked the moon. The moon's sad face didn't reply. "You're always saving the world, but when are you here when I need saving? I can't remember more than once or twice. And now you're not here", Chi Chi said angrily. But she was crying too. "I don't want to be all alone, Goku-saa...".
*************************************************************************************************
"I don't want to be all alone, Goku-saa...". Goku backed away from Obsidian. "Chi Chi! What's wrong!?" Goku thought, but he had to go back to fight Obsidian. He had no time to lose, not even for something inmportant. "Get back here and fight, Kakarrot!" roared Vegeta, punching Obsidian in the stomach. Goku obediantly (^_^*) flew back to where Obsidian was and began throwing energy blasts at him. "Get Obsidian back on the ground!" Piccolo muttered. At that, Yamcha used his Wolf Fang Fist and tried to force Obsidian to fall. Gohan flew down lower to try to pull Obsidian down if he tried to get back up. Piccolo flew high above Obsidian and started firing eye lasers. Obsidian's ice blue eyes flared up, making them brighter. He shot blast of glass shards aimed for Piccolo's eyes. Piccolo disappeared and appeared beside Obsidian. Goku powered up, and waited for Obsidian to be lured into Piccolo's trap.
Obsidian struggled and tried to put shards of glass into Gohan's face, but he was so small he seemed to move faster than the others. "TAKE THIS!" Obsidian roared in frustration, and shot a black beam at Gohan. Gohan fell down to the ground, but then he realized it could be to his advantage. He had landed close to a body of water, deep and clear enough to see the bottom at the shore. Obsidian followed Gohan, flinging away Yamcha and Piccolo. They saw their chance, and along with Goku and Tien, they all threw attacks at Obsidian, who was concentrating on destroying Gohan. Gohan moved out of the way, but Obsidian had been going very fast, and along with the force the attacks from the Z Senshi had created, he blasted into the water, making a huge splash. Vegeta kept blasting the dark shadow under water until it moved out of the way, into deeper, darker waters.
*************************************************************************************************
"Mrs. Son? It's time for your operation", the nurse said kindly. Chi Chi smiled at her a little. She was very nervous. But most of all she was scared. Scared of what might happen. "It won't be very long", the nurse told her, wheeling her to the operation room.
*************************************************************************************************
"Is he gone?" Gohan asked his father. "He's still under there", Goku replied, patting Gohan on the head. Suddenly they heard a rustling sound behind them. Tien whirled around. But he couldn't see Obsidian. Or anything else, for that matter. "Who's there?" asked Yamcha. Vegeta turned from the water and looked to where the sound had come from. Goku could feel a power. A faltering power. "Someone's hurt. But somehow I don't think it's Obsidian", Goku said. He walked over to a huge boulder. Goku flew up into the sky to get a better view. "There IS something there!" Goku thought, and dropped down at where he had seen something move.
"Krillin!" A battered and bruised Krillin lay in the dust near the lake. "I thought you were finished!" Goku said, happy to see his friend, but not happy to see his injuries. "I-I flew that thing around...kept chasing me. F-finally I dove in the water, and the fireball got put out from it. But I was in the water under it...impact", Krillin mumbled. Goku looked for his friends. "Guys! Come here!" Goku yelled. The others flew to him quickly.
*************************************************************************************************
END OF PART 3.
Well...:o) The next part is interesting. I'll get it out very very soon. But it's short. I need it to be like that. What will happen to Chi Chi? And will Obsidian really be put out by water? Er...you won't find out about Obsidian next part. Have a nice day! ^_^ :o)

Hi! The third part in this story. ^_^* I know it's been a while since I posted the second part, but I wasn't exactly sure what to write. Anyway, I've got it now, that's why you're reading this. If you haven't read any other of the parts, please do. It would be easier to understand if you did. Another thing: ~_~* Someone posted a flame on my "Spin The Plastic Pop Bottle" and called themselves "ice queen". I told her what happened on e-mail, and I KNOW FOR SURE it's not her. A little warning: If you get any reviews from me that aren't "signed" starting from today, it's not me. So don't send me flames. Sugar doesn't mix with it...except for marshmallows. Anyway, here's my story :o):
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi had had enough of sitting in her room, so she went to her kitchen to fix something to eat. There wasn't much left in the fridge. "He eats so much", Chi Chi said, and couldn't help smiling. (she's referring to Goku) Chi Chi finally dug something out of the fridge and got herself something to eat. "I wonder what happened to them", Chi Chi thought worriedly. "If they left in such a hurry it must have been something really bad". Chi Chi was about to wash the dishes when the phone rang. Chi Chi put down the washcloth and picked up the phone. "Chi Chi?" Bulma's voice on the other end said. "Hai", Chi Chi said into the phone. "Well...I need somebody to talk to. I can't sit here by myself, wondering what happened to Vegeta. I can't even argue with him!" Bulma said, sounding annoyed. "Maybe you could make me feel better", Bulma said. Chi Chi felt her own anger return. "I can't. I have no idea where Goku and Gohan have gone", Chi Chi sighed into the phone. "Are there any good things about them?" Bulma asked. Chi Chi hesitated. "Y-e-s. (stretch out the word) Why else would we be worrying about them right now?" she said. Bulma laughed. "Of course. Well my cooking's burning, I've got to go now! Bye!" Bulma said and quickly hung up.
*************************************************************************************************
Lunchi waited. Chi Chi's number had been busy. There was no one she could talk to, to ask if she had done the right thing. She dialed Bulma's number. It rung. Once...twice...three times. Four. Five. Lunchi knew that Bulma either went shopping or was busy. She hung up. "There wasn't another choice anyway. He kicked me out. I don't need to tell him anything. It's my life", Lunchi told herself, but she wasn't sure she believed it. Lunchi was about to take another quarter and try to call home. But then she remembered it wasn't "home" any more. She slipped the quarter back into her pocket. It was time to go for her appointment.
*************************************************************************************************
Bulma fanned the smoke away from the now empty pot. She had been making soup, but when you overcook soup, it evaporates. "Stupid stove!" Bulma said angrily. Bulma went back to checking the recipe. "What do I need?" Bulma muttered to herself. After fifteen minutes, she gave up. "I hate this! I don't like this stupid soup anyway!" Bulma said, very annoyed. Suddenly she started laughing. "When he's not here I have to insult my own cooking", Bulma said, smiling a little. "Just come back all in one piece, Veggie-chan".

The circle of fire surrounding the Z Senshi was blazing, and they all knew there was no escape. Piccolo flew up and sent blasts of energy at Obsidian. Obsidian merely laughed and disappeared. "I hate it when that guy does that!" Tien said angrily. Piccolo tried to find Obsidian's energy, since he had to be moving fast. But there was nothing. He couldn't find the power anywhere.

Goku went in the opposite direction to tackle Obsidian from behind. Obsidian punched Yamcha back. Goku fired a Kamehameha at Obsidian. Somehow Obsidian managed to kick Goku back, but Goku came right back at him. Vegeta was tired of watching and shot up in the sky with them. "Gallot Gun!" Vegeta hit Obsidian in his chest. "Eat this Vegetable head!" Obsidian shouted and shot glass shards all around him. Yamcha had no choice but to shield his eyes. Goku flew downwards, so he wouldn't injure his other eye. Vegeta continued firing at Obsidian, but when the glass cleared away, Obsidian was nowhere in sight.
"My leg!" gasped Chau-zhou. He couldn't move it, and it was in a puddle of blood. "Go back home Chau-zhou. You can't help us now. You'll just be easy bait for Obsidian!" Tien said and looked around. "Who's going to get him home?" Gohan asked, trying to keep his eye open for Obsidian. "I'll take him", Piccolo said. "I'll be back soon. Just get rid of this bloody mess". Gohan nodded. A huge splash nearly made them think that Obsidian had won, but he was still in the sky.
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi had just finished washing the dishes, and she was drying them. A jolt of pain shot through her, just below her stomach.

(It's really amazing how many people are in the emergency, and how many more people are waiting; their situations are getting worse.

The doctor checked her over and decided to take an X-ray. "There's something not right here, and I'm going to find out what it is", the doctor said, calling two nurses to wheel her to the room. The last thing Chi Chi remembered before blacking out was how much that doctor sounded like the Z Senshi when some evil force was attacking the Earth.
*************************************************************************************************
Goku, Yamcha and Vegeta were in the air, waiting for Obsidian to reappear. "Where is he?" Vegeta growled, running out of patience. A crackling sound came from beneath them. "Wha-?" Yamcha began, but he didn't get a chance to finish. Obsidian came from underneath them, at full speed, with a huge fireball heading straight for Yamcha. "AAAHHH!"

A nurse will wake you up tomorrow", said the lady doctor, and sent Lunchi up to her room.
*************************************************************************************************
"Mrs. Son? Are you feeling alright now?" the nurse asked. Chi Chi opened her eyes. Everything was blurry, and then came into focus. "W-what's wrong?" Chi Chi asked, feeling cold. "The doctor said that you have a tumour in your ovary. (no kidding, that happens)", the nurse said calmly. "What?!" Chi Chi gasped. "It's alright.

Chi Chi asked, afraid she knew the answer. "70 is greater than 30", the nurse told her. "Great, that didn't help", Chi Chi thought.
"Tomorrow? Do I have to?" Chi Chi asked. The nurse nodded. "Absolutely. You don't want it to get any bigger. It's been there for quite a while. It just didn't happen to get bad until this afternoon. You get a good rest. And don't eat anything until after your operation", the nurse told her and walked out the door. "Oh boy...", thought Chi Chi.

Taking Chau-zhou home had taken longer than Piccolo had thought. The whiny thing had kept saying he wanted to go back and help, and had to be literally dragged back to his house. "Come on. You need your rest. You have a broken leg", Piccolo said sarcastically, completely annoyed by now. Chau-zhou finally gave up and let himself be put on his bed and Piccolo left. "Now to get back to Obsidian. That huge explosion back there couldn't have meant good news", Piccolo said to himself, and flew full speed back to where the others were.
It was evening already. Chau-zhou was beginning to get worried. "I wonder how Tien and all of them are doing? What if Obsidian kills them?" he thought. After an hour, it was pretty obvious nothing had happened, and Obsidian probably hadn't won yet. Then Chau-zhou realized something else. "Where's Lunchi?" he thought. "Oh right...she said she'd move out. But there's something wrong, I can feel it!" he said to a nearby bird. The bird flew away quickly. Chau-zhou took the phone out of its cradle and dialed Bulma's number. "Bulma? Have you seen Lunchi? Did she call you?" Chau-zhou asked. "I have no idea. I'll ask Chi Chi. I'm sure she wouldn't have disappeared like that without a reason. Lunchi doesn't seem like she would just leave and not tell anyone where she was going", Bulma replied and hung up. Chau-zhou sighed. "Great", he thought.

"Hmm...that's funny. Chi Chi's not home. Maybe she went shopping. I'll call back another time", Bulma said, and dropped the subject.

That night, the moon was full. (I have this locket and it plays a tinkling kind of music. It's a really nice song, but at the same time it's spooky and sad when it's played in the dark of the night when there is only silence around it. This is the song I was hearing that inspired me to write this part) The moon shone brightly onto the Earth. The still night was so empty. Lunchi stared out the window. The moon was so beautiful, so perfect. But there was something wrong with it. "There's a sad face on it", Lunchi thought to herself. "Like mine". (Honestly, that's what I see when I look up to the full moon. It has two eyes that look sad, like they're waiting for something that has long gone. And the mouth is open, almost in a scary sort of way) Lunchi kept looking at the moon. "I wonder if he's thinking about me..." Lunchi thought. But she stopped herself. "He would never do that. He doesn't even care anymore". Silence filled the whole room. There were no sounds at night, not even the bugs flying outside.

Yamcha and Gohan watched in horror as Obsidian tried to hit Goku in the stomach with one of his now infamous glass shard blasts. Goku ducked just in time. "Let's go get him! We can't let Vegeta and Goku fight alone!" Piccolo's voice came from another direction. "Yeah!" Yamcha agreed. So Gohan, Tien, Piccolo and Yamcha flew up to join the two Saiyajins. "Solar Flare!" Tien tried to get Obsidian's armor to crack off some more. (i know it's night. but technically the moon's light is reflected off the sun, so it's good enough for me) "Kamehameha!" Gohan shot at Obsidian to get his attention. "Ha!" Obsidian threw a black beam at Gohan. Gohan dodged the attack and fired another Kamehameha at Obsidian.
*************************************************************************************************
Chi Chi at the same time was also looking at the moon. (enter creepy tinkly music) "Tomorrow am I going to be able to look at this same moon?" wondered Chi Chi sadly. There wasn't even anyone around her to comfort her or even be there if - if something happened. "Gohan, Goku, why did you leave me all alone when I needed you here?" she asked the moon. The moon's sad face didn't reply. "You're always saving the world, but when are you here when I need saving? I can't remember more than once or twice. And now you're not here", Chi Chi said angrily. But she was crying too. "I don't want to be all alone, Goku-saa...".
*************************************************************************************************
"I don't want to be all alone, Goku-saa...". Goku backed away from Obsidian. "Chi Chi! What's wrong!?" Goku thought, but he had to go back to fight Obsidian. He had no time to lose, not even for something inmportant. "Get back here and fight, Kakarrot!" roared Vegeta, punching Obsidian in the stomach. Goku obediantly (^_^*) flew back to where Obsidian was and began throwing energy blasts at him. "Get Obsidian back on the ground!" Piccolo muttered. At that, Yamcha used his Wolf Fang Fist and tried to force Obsidian to fall. Gohan flew down lower to try to pull Obsidian down if he tried to get back up. Piccolo flew high above Obsidian and started firing eye lasers. Obsidian's ice blue eyes flared up, making them brighter. He shot blast of glass shards aimed for Piccolo's eyes. Piccolo disappeared and appeared beside Obsidian. Goku powered up, and waited for Obsidian to be lured into Piccolo's trap.
Obsidian struggled and tried to put shards of glass into Gohan's face, but he was so small he seemed to move faster than the others. "TAKE THIS!" Obsidian roared in frustration, and shot a black beam at Gohan. Gohan fell down to the ground, but then he realized it could be to his advantage. He had landed close to a body of water, deep and clear enough to see the bottom at the shore. Obsidian followed Gohan, flinging away Yamcha and Piccolo. They saw their chance, and along with Goku and Tien, they all threw attacks at Obsidian, who was concentrating on destroying Gohan. Gohan moved out of the way, but Obsidian had been going very fast, and along with the force the attacks from the Z Senshi had created, he blasted into the water, making a huge splash. Vegeta kept blasting the dark shadow under water until it moved out of the way, into deeper, darker waters.
*************************************************************************************************
"Mrs. Son? It's time for your operation", the nurse said kindly. Chi Chi smiled at her a little. She was very nervous. But most of all she was scared. Scared of what might happen. "It won't be very long", the nurse told her, wheeling her to the operation room.
*************************************************************************************************
"Is he gone?" Gohan asked his father. "He's still under there", Goku replied, patting Gohan on the head. Suddenly they heard a rustling sound behind them. Tien whirled around. But he couldn't see Obsidian. Or anything else, for that matter. "Who's there?" asked Yamcha. Vegeta turned from the water and looked to where the sound had come from. Goku could feel a power. A faltering power. "Someone's hurt. But somehow I don't think it's Obsidian", Goku said. He walked over to a huge boulder. Goku flew up into the sky to get a better view. "There IS something there!" Goku thought, and dropped down at where he had seen something move.
"Krillin!" A battered and bruised Krillin lay in the dust near the lake. "I thought you were finished!" Goku said, happy to see his friend, but not happy to see his injuries. "I-I flew that thing around...kept chasing me. F-finally I dove in the water, and the fireball got put out from it. But I was in the water under it...impact", Krillin mumbled. Goku looked for his friends. "Guys! Come here!" Goku yelled. The others flew to him quickly.
