Vegeta turned to his son.
"What worked. What are you talking about!" Trunks stood staring at Susan.
"I sent her telepathic messages and told her to not believe what she was seeing. I think its working. See!" The ball was flickering in and out. Dark turned to it and gasped in shock. Alarms were going off.
Suddenly the cage they were in started to flicker too. Amazingly, it disappeared. Dark looked down and yelled in frustration.
"What the…" Trunks began.
"I know why!" Gohan yelled, "he must have been controlling the cage with his mind. He's so frustrated he couldn't keep controlling. Everyone spread out so he can't do it again." Everyone immediately followed orders.
The ball Susan was in totally disappeared. Susan, still unconscious, began falling. Trunks flew forward and caught her. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Trunks…"
"Susan its okay" She smiled before blacking out again. He floated down and put her in the corner, on the ground. He flew back up to the rest of the Z gang. Dark had the look of kill in his eyes.
"You have ruined my plans. No matter though I will destroy you all." He raised his hands but Goku was too quick for him.
"KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The huge ball of light headed for Dark. Before he could react the ball hit him straight on. He let out a terrifying scream before disintegrating. Gohan flew over to make sure he was dead. He turned and okay ed them.
"He wasn't very strong. Stupid weakling" Vegeta grunted.
Trunks flew down to Susan. She was starting to stir. Trunks went and kneeled beside her.
"Susan are you okay."
"Trunks is that you. Oh man I have a major headache. "Trunks pulled her up off the ground. She immediately leaned against the wall. Soon the others landed.
"Hey guys. Does anyone want to explain to me what happened. I would appreciate it." Trunks told her about what had happened after she had been captured.
"That bad huh. So now what are we going to do."
"The first thing we should do is try to get that gas off the earth. The only problem is we have no idea how."
"Come on. Am I the only one in here who watched action movies. The villain's hideout always has a computer room. You know a main control building. It probably controls the whole ship. It would probably control the gas too." Susan concluded, starting to regain her balance "but it might be a problem finding the room. This place is pretty big." Goku looked at her.
"Well we have no other choice. If this place has a main control room, we have to find it. No matter how long it takes." Everyone else nodded. They began their search by leaving the huge room and heading down the hallway.
Susan looked around. There were at least 100 doors.
"There is no way we can look through all these doors!" Vegeta yelled in frustration. Susan merely smirked. It resembled Vegeta's so much it was scary.
"We don't have to." She began walking past all the doors.
"Susan what do you mean" Trunks yelled from behind her. She kept walking.
"In every single movie I've seen the answer is always in the last place you would look. So instead of looking through all the doors." She stopped and turned facing the last door. "We look in the last place we would have looked."
She opened the door. The lights from all the computers shone all the way down the hallway.
"See what you get for listening to me." She walked inside, the others following.
"Ah computers. You have to love them." Susan walked over to what seemed to be the head computer and started typing. After a couple of seconds she raised her head. "Okay I have opened up a comlink to Capsule Corps. We should be seeing it on the big screen in a couple of minutes."
"Susan how did you know Capsule Corps. comlink number." Trunks asked She laughed nervously.
"Well you see, I…I sorta went through CC's main computer. Please don't tell Bulma. I was just bored. I didn't do anything to it I swear." Before he could reply Bulma's face came on over the screen.
"Oh Kami where are you guys. What are you doing?"
"Mom listen whose there at CC with you."
"Well there's me, Bra, Pan and Chi-Chi. She came by couple of hours ago." Something came into Susan's mind.
"Bulma why haven't you been affected by the gas."
"Oh well I loaded the force field." They all stared at her blankly until Vegeta snorted.
"Woman, I thought you said it didn't work." They all stared at him.
"Well Vegeta now it does. I made some corrections to it. I was going to start using it tomorrow so you can't blow up the house anymore, but I went ahead and used it. Apparently the gas can't come through it. And what was that about it having no use what so ever, Vegeta." Vegeta snorted.
"That's what I thought. So do you have any ideas." Gohan was about to reply but Susan cut him off.
"Well actually I have an idea." They all turned to her. She started typing on the computer.
"If you just give me a second I think I'm right." A second later…
"Oh yeah. I was right. That's what I get for taking all those computer classes. My teacher would be…Oh no. Uh scratch that. I don't have an idea." She turned a pale color.
"Susan what is it. I now you have a plan. You can't go on like that then not have one. Only mom does that." Trunks stated curiously.
"Hey I resent that!" Bulma yelled form the background. Susan shook her head.
"No it was a…a, uh, mistake. Yeah that's it. I was wrong." She lowered her head.
"Susan, I know you are lying. Don't even try that on me. Why won't you tell us." She sighed in defeat and looked up at Trunks.
"I really don't want to put you guys in this kind of position." They all stared at her.
"Well one of you could get seriously hurt." They all stared at her as she remembered who she was talking too.
"Oh yeah, are you sure you want to hear this." Again she got the stare.
"Okay, It's very simple really. We just use the inverse operation." They all stared blankly at her, except for Gohan.
"Seems like some people didn't pay attention in Math. Inverse operation is the opposite. Like, in math, instead of using multiplication you use division, basically" They nodded their heads in understanding.
"So we would basically do the opposite of Dark did." Bulma's light bulb appeared above her head.
"So you mean that instead of using a person whose heart is corrupt we would use a person's heart who is hopeful." Susan nodded.
"Exactly, and I think I know who we could use" Susan stated. As if linked, everyone's heads turned to Goku. He gulped.
"Well we found the subject, but how do we carry out the experiment?" Gohan asked. Susan turned back to the computer.
"Well that's simple, Dark placed the layout to the ball, that made the gas, in the computer. But there's a problem"
"What is it. Do we not have the materials? I'm sure we could get them…" Trunks was cut off.
"No it's not that. You see the one he used on me was, apparently, the newest model. He decided to not put it in the computer. But he did put the older version in here." Trunks let out a sigh of relief.
"Then were okay."
"Actually we're still in the gutter. You see it drains the energy of the occupant. You see the one he used on me didn't truly hurt me. Though if I would of stayed in there too long it would have drained my energy but not the whole time. This one works by draining energy. " Goku gulped. Susan could sense his uneasiness.
"If I'm correct then it wont take much energy and it will do it slowly." He let out a sigh. Susan noticed Vegeta standing in the corner, looking very unhappy. She smirked.
"You know Vegeta I would be a very happy person if I was you." They all stared at her, including Vegeta.
"And why is that" he said rudely.
"Because when Goku comes out you will be stronger than him." You could see the twinkle in his eyes. Everyone had a panicked look on their faces, mainly Bulma. Susan chuckled and turned back to the computer. She started typing again.
"Okay Goku are you sure you want to do this?" She asked.
"Uh I was wondering does it involve needles?" He questioned nervously. Everyone shook their heads.
"Nope, no needles."
"Then I'm sure." Shooting Vegeta a nervous glance, wondering what he would do with the advantage.
"Okay then. Goku can you step into the center of the room. Okay good. Everyone else, back away. Now I'm going to hit a button and you'll be trapped in the yellow ball. It might hurt a little bit at first then it will go away. Now for the countdown. Trunks will you please countdown for us." He looked at her weirdly but did it anyway.
"5….4….3….2…1…blastoff" Susan hit the button. A ball of light shot up from the ground where Goku was standing. He was totally engulfed. Susan starting typing furiously and then she sighed in relief.
"Okay I made sure that he will have good dreams, so now we have to wait." Trunks walked up to her.
"Wait for what." She pointed to two bars on the computer.
"Well the top one is all the gas that was put into the world. The bottom one is how much Goku is putting out. We have to wait till they are even till we get him out. Here let me check on his dreams." A little screen popped up beside the bars.
It showed a huge field. There was a huge party going on. All the Z warriors were there. Everyone was laughing and having a great time.
"This is what Goku is seeing. As long as his dreams stay happy then we will be okay." So everyone waited. After a little while there came a voice from behind Bulma. They all turned to look at her. She looked behind her. The door behind her flew open. There stood Chi-Chi.
"Hey Bulma I got some food ready", then she noticed the screen and Goku "Oh kami Goku are you okay." She ran up to the screen.
"What are you doing to him? Is he okay? What is he doing? Bulma what is going on?" everyone stared at her nervously. Suddenly blinking came from the computer. Susan looked down at it.
"He must be fighting. That goes off when he is doing something physical." She made the little screen come up, then she gasped in shock. She frantically hit buttons until it went away. She still stared in shock. Trunks rushed over.
"Susan is he okay" she nodded her head.
"He's fine." She looked up at Chi-Chi and blushed furiously and lowered her head.
"Susan what did you see. Was it bad?"
"That matters which way you put it." They all looked at her and Vegeta couldn't stop himself from chuckling. They all stared at him.
"What are you laughing at" Trunks asked his father.
"Isn't it obvious. That's the same thing you said when you first saw it." Trunks looked at him questionably then it turned to shocked. He looked down at Susan.
"You mean you saw Goku and…" he looked up at Chi-Chi. Susan nodded her head. Chi-Chi went as bright as Susan, if possible. Bulma looked up at Chi-Chi in surprise so did every one else.
Then the blue flashing light came on, over the computer. Susan let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay its done. I'm going to let him out. Gohan, Goten, be prepared to catch him. Hell be pretty weak, and maybe unconscious. " They walked over behind the ball. Susan hit the release button and Goku fell into his son's arms.
He was definitely unconscious. Susan ran over and checked his pulse. It was steady. She sighed.
"He's fine. Let's get him out of here." Chi-Chi was clinging to Bulma, on the verge of tears. Bulma yelled at them before Susan cut off the power.
"Hey guys, bring him to Capsule Corps. We can put him in a Med. room. You can stay all night if you want."
"Thanks Bulma." Gohan shouted. She waved as the screen went off. Trunks looked at the door in frustration.
"You know we are going to have to find our way out." Susan snapped her fingers.
"That's for people who have no imagination." She flew up in the air, turned to the ceiling, and launched a ki ball. It blasted a hole through the ceiling, showing light coming through. Susan smiled.
"Original, aren't you" Trunks said, sarcastically.
"I try." Gohan and Goten carefully lifted Goku out of the building, Trunks following. Then Vegeta followed by Piccolo.
When they arrived at C.C. they were immediately met with a frantic Chi-Chi and Bulma holding her back.
As soon as she saw Goku she ran over to him and looked up at Gohan.
"What happened! He was fighting was he?" he voice got dangerously low. Gohan shook his head nervously. Bulma walked cautiously over to her friend.
"Chi-Chi, listen. We need to get Goku into the med. ward. " Bulma said slowly. Chi-Chi finally became aware of how bad her husband was hurt. She started shooing her sons inside.
"Get him in there right now!" She demanded. Gohan and Goten rushed their father into the medical room. Bulma sat up the heart monitor and ran an IV. Bulma turned and told everyone to go downstairs. Gohan called all the Z warriors, and they arrived soon.
"You know what guys the weirdest thing happened to me." Krillin said sitting down. Gohan looked at him in curiosity.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well it was the weirdest thing. I went to go buy groceries, and I was walking down the street and the next thing I knew I was three blocks away. " Gohan laughed nervously.
"Guys you might want to sit down, this is going to be a long story"
"You guys are kidding" Yamcha stated in shock. Goten sighed.
"I wish we were. But it's all true. Now were just waiting for Dad to wake up." Susan stood in the corner. She could barely stop herself from breaking down and crying. It's all my fault. Goku's hurt because of me. She thought to herself. Suddenly Bulma came down the stairs. Everyone looked up at her.
"Well Goku's fine. He just needs some rest and he'll be okay." Chi-Chi immediately ran up the stairs, followed by Gohan and Goten.
"You guys can stay here tonight if you want. " They all thanked her. Trunks walked over to Susan.
"Susan are you sure you are okay."
"I'm fine. But thanks for asking." She started for the stairs, before Trunks grabbed her arm.
"Why don't I believe you." She turned and smiled at him.
"Because you know me to well." He let go, and she went up the stairs. She went into her room and headed straight for the shower. Turning the knob to hot, she stripped and stepped in.
About fifteen minutes later she stepped out and put on her pajamas. Lying down, she awaited sleep, it never came. Finally she sat up, put her clothes back on, and went downstairs. She stopped at the couch and looked down.
Piccolo was lying down on it, arms crossed, legs laying over the edge. Susan listened closely and then pulled back in surprise. Piccolo was snoring, barely but it was defiantly a snore. She chuckled to herself. She was finding out new stuff everyday.
She went towards the Med. Room to check up on Goku. Entering she saw that Chi-Chi had fallen asleep, and Gohan and Goten must of left long ago. Walking over she nudged Chi-Chi.
'Uh…What…Oh hey Susan. Did I fall asleep"
"Chi-Chi listen you can have my room and I will watch Goku, okay"
"Are you sure?" Chi-Chi said standing up. Susan waved her hand.
"Positive" She gave Chi-Chi the directions to her room and went back to her computer. She checked on Goku's status and made sure he was fine.
Leaning her head down on the computer she told herself she was just resting her eyes. Within 2 minutes she was asleep.
