"Damn him!" Goku yelled, and
banged his fists onto the table in anger. He was watching TV, and for the third
time their had been "mysterious bombings by the Soviet Union" everywhere.
"Goku please," begged Mr. Popo.
"Sorry," he muttered.
"Usagi, let's go, we have to
get my Mom," said Gohan.
"No it's okay, I know you have
a headache Gohan, I'll get her, you stay here with your Toussan, okay?" Usagi
smiled.
"Thanks Bunny-chan. I owe you
one."
"No prob, see you!" Usagi
launched into the air, and picked up ChiChi's power level. Something was
nagging in the back of her head, Aria, Gohan's girlfriend, was still in her
civilian home. Usagi, took a deep breath and decided to pick her up too.
But when Usagi got to ChiChi's
house, something was not right, there was no feeling of peace in the air. And
the birds had all left. Usagi dropped to the ground, and carefully approached
the door. Yes, something was definitely not right, ChiChi usually knew when
Usagi was there and always opened the door, before she had the chance. Usagi
stepped inside, "ChiChi? Hello?" She looked in the kitchen, but no one was
there. "ChiChi?" She must be taking a nap, Usagi thought, and crept
quietly upstairs. No one was in the bedroom either, but ChiChi's chi was
definitely in the house.
Finally Usagi had her chi
pinpointed to the upstairs linen closet, wild ideas formed in her head, reasons
why ChiChi would be in the linen closet.Each one more pathetic than the last.
Finally, she just opened it, ChiChi lay nestled in between two bed sheets,
unconscious.
"ChiChi!" Usagi picked her up,
careful to rest her head, she ran outside, but she ran a little bit too fast…
WHUMP!
Gohan was reading a book,
trying to rid himself of his headache. Goku had brought over Aria and her
family, just incase Forballa decided to strike again.
"Gohan," said the familiar
voice of Aria. "I was looking everywhere for you," she lied.
"Oh, I had a headache, so I
decided to lay down for a bit—"
"Oh weird! You were reading a
book??" Aria said in disbelief. "I hate books!"
"Well, it kinda takes my mind
off of the pain. Hey, have you seen Usagi?"
Aria frowned suddenly, "no.
Hope that monster finishes her off," she whispered to herself, so that Gohan
wouldn't hear.
"Oh, well I'm worried, she was
supposed to bring my Mom over, I'll ask Dad." Gohan jumped off of the couch,
and ran to Goku.
"Little witch! Stealing Gohan
to herself, he is pretty hott, maybe Dean will get jealous," she mumbled, her
eyes suddenly became wide and dreamy at the mention of Dean.
Goku agreed to look for Usagi,
and he teleported himself and Gohan to ChiChi's house, there was no power
level.
"Usagi!"
"ChiChi!"
They shouted, and finally
agreed that something must have happened, they returned to give Bulma the news
about her daughter.
Usagi awoke in a strange place,
there was a heavy pain in her head. She touched it and winced slightly, she
tore off a piece of her shirt and folded it up, hoping to staunch the flow of
blood. She was in a poorly lit chamber, and ChiChi was nowhere to be seen, or
felt. She stood, up, and walked around, her shoes made a clanking noise against
the floor.
Suddenly bright lights
flickered in front of her, Usagi stumbled back, covering her eyes.
"Welcome," the raspy voice of
Forballa boomed.
"Where are you?" Usagi commanded,
shaking slightly.
"Right here," he said, suddenly
appearing in front of her. Usagi let out a little shriek of surprise, she
hadn't even sensed his chi.
"What do you want?" she
snarled, and took a few steps backwards in fear.
"I want you to stay the hell
out of my way."
"What did I do?" Usagi asked.
"You're the one who wants to take over the earth," Usagi tried to run past him,
but he grabbed her wrist. Her fist came hurtling through the air, but he caught
it with his other hand, his knee blocked the kick aimed for his groin. Usagi
launched her head forward batting him in the skull, in confusion, he released
one of her hands, and her fist hit him in the side of his face. She sped past
him, and shrieked as a set of bars dropped down in front of her. Knowing if she
charged an energy blast that she'd rip the ship in two, she grabbed a bar in
each of her hands and started shaking them.
"I can't even break those bars
in half kid, don't bother trying."
"Well then you're a weakling!"
Usagi said desperately.
"Hmph, shows how much you
know-"
"Or care-"
"I know all about your past
Usagi."
Usagi froze, she stopped
shaking the cracking bars and stared at him in mock horror. Then, realizing he
probably didn't know anything about Maniki and Pluto.
"About your dear little sister,
about the war, everything Usagi, and I want to know," Forballa explained, his
black eyes sparkling maliciously.
"Apparently, you already know
then don't you?"
"I want to know how you got
here Usagi," Forballa said. "I want to know how you made the dimension hop,
everything, how you got here all of it."
"Why would I tell you?" Usagi
said braver than she felt. She was still an amateur at sparring, a well aimed
punch from Gohan could still knock her flat (not that he ever had) And Gohan
looked frightened of Forballa at first.
"You'll tell me, or else all of
the earth shall be destroyed," Forballa said, leering at her.
"Somehow I doubt it, Goku-san
and the others will stop you!" Usagi's voice was getting shakier.
Forballa laughed, "Kakarott?
Stop me? The very idea!"
"Well Goku-san is much more
powerful than me, how come I just hurt you?" Usagi asked, more frightened by
the moment, how she could keep up the comments was incredible.
The color drained slightly from
his face, "that is because Usagi, you have much more power than Kakarott. You
have the ability to switch dimensions."
"That's only because Pluto
helped!" Usagi blurted out with rage.
"I see, and where do I find
this Pluto?" Forballa asked bluntly.
"How the hell should I know,
she was the one who abandoned me here!" She answered angrily.
"Well, maybe if I just leave
you here for a bit you'll start to see things my way," Forballa said craftily.
He walked over to the bars, whispered some code words, and they melted away, before
he stepped past. "Enjoy! I heard that saiya-jins eat a lot," then he
disappeared, but only after the bars had reappeared.
"Bastard!" Usagi yelled at him.
Now what was she going to do, it was painfully obvious to her that he was going
to let her sit and rot, while he destroyed earth. She had to escape, there was
no other option available. She quickly began a thorough search of the chamber,
and it seemed that Usagi knew now what Forballa's desire was.
Meanwhile….
Goku had come to the conclusion
that Forballa must have done something to Usagi and ChiChi, he had locked
himself in a room, seeing no one. And when Mr. Popo came in to give him some
lunch, he flat out refused, and sent Mr. Popo away. The Z fighters were
startled at this, and question Mr. Popo thoroughly. He said Goku had been
pacing the whole time, his lunch untouched.
"Dad would never skip lunch!"
Gohan said with worry.
"Gohan's right, I'll talk to
him," Piccolo said, and hurried off. He walked over to the door and opened it, "Goku."
"Hmm?"
"Snap out of it!" he roared as
soon as he had shut the door. "ChiChi isn't your fault, and neither is it Usagi's,
she didn't cause it either," Piccolo guessed what his friend was thinking. "It's
no ones fault but Forballa's, got it? If you want to do something, sitting
their pacing isn't it. We have to do something, now Forballa wants something
like every other villain we've ever crossed. I don't think that he wants to
rule the earth alone, there has to be something that we've over looked. Now
then, Kami says he is going to appear by some mountains south of here, so are
we going to show up?"
"Sorry Piccolo, it's just that-"
"Forget it."
"Kay, lets get everyone
together and go!"
