Chapter 7 - Marron's "Interrogation"
"You think you could drive a little faster?" Trunks yelled from the back seat, holding on tightly to a struggling Marron.
"I can be a moron sometimes, but I do know there is a speed limit!" Goten snapped back. "It's not my fault you decided to just go and grab her and jump in the car!"
"Just go!" Trunks growled.
"Sorry... there's a cop behind us."
Goten heard Trunks mummbles something like "bullshit" and decided to glance back there at the two. He snickered, the position they were in looked kind of funny. Trunks was on his back on the seat with Marron on top of him. He had one of his arms around her arms and waist while the other went around to cover her mouth. Goten snickered, Trunks better be careful because if Marron decides to get really violent... the position they were in left him dead open for some nut cracking. Trunks momentarily uncovered Marron's mouth because his hand was falling asleep. He almost regreted it when Marron starts screaming, with practically in her face.
"You stupid asshole! Let me go!" Marron starts to stuggle a lot more now. "If I get free I'm going to kick both of your puny asses!"
"Just another reason not to let you go." Trunks said in her ear with a chuckle. "Plus, you can't beat the two of us. You have only so much power."
"They'll come after me! Every one of them! Then you're going to get your beatings! I'll mkae sure both Pan and Bra help me to beat you two down!"
"What? Can't do it yourself? Too weak?" Trunks whispered in her ear, then spoke up, speaking to Goten. "Unless you really want to her beat the both of us up, you better hurry up."
Goten sighed. "Fine."
**********
The entire way home there had been a lot of kicking and screaming. Not that Trunks found it funny, but Goten sure had. Trunks was possitive though, that he'd wake up tomorrow with tons of bruises and shins that burned from repeated kicks. Maybe he would think twice before trying to kidnap one of them again? Probably not, it was worth it in his own eyes.
"We might not torture you if you stay still!" Trunks lied.
"Bullshit! Let me go!" Marron yelled back at him.
Trunks sighed and followed Goten into the house. "Where are we suppose to put her?"
"I don't know. How about the basement? Or your mom's workroom maybe?" Goten suggested.
"Yeah! Maybe we could strap her down and expeirment on her!" Trunks joked and got a two hard kicks to the shin and elbow dug into his ribs.
"You just get her down there. I'll find the others."
**********
"You WHAT?!" Krillin yelled.
Him and the others were in the middle of training in the gravity room. They had to be strong to get the others back. Getting Bulma gave them a great deal of hope back. Still, it was a big shock to know that they had Marron, it was actually kind of soon.
Krillin raced away and into Bulma's workroom to find Goten guarding a Marron tied up on a chair in the middle of ther room. He was about to dash to her and give her a hug, but the unfortunately remembered that wasn't going to happen with her still brainwashed. His shoulders slumped and he glanced at Goten.
"She's still...?" Krillin trailed off.
Goten knew the question though. "Yup. We only got her. I don't know what it'll take to bring her back though."
"You people are sick. Taking us away and brainwashing us. Sick." Marron said, greatly emphasizing the last word.
Just then, more people walked in. First Gohan and Trunks, caught up in talking about how Trunks and Goten captured Marron. Following them were Vegeta and Bulma. Bulma was hanging on his arm with a grin on her face while Vegeta was looking at her with annoyance.
"I did not miss you THAT much!" Vegeta said, trying, without really trying, to pry Bulma off his arm.
Bulma looked up at him and frowned. "You can't lie to me. Four years? Ha! I'm sure you were happy with sleeping in that bed upstairs alone."
"I was! You think I miss that loud mouth of your's?"
"Of course you did!" Bulma gave him a quick peck on the lips. "See?"
"Hmph."
Vegeta finally got her off him and walked away from her, leaning on the wall, his eyes closed, supposedly, in annoyance. Marron looked at them confused. Especially Bulma.
"How could you Bulma!? You betray us and fraternize with them!?" Marron screamed in anger. "I can't believe you!"
Bulma looked confused at first at Marron. "Shesh Marron. I wonder what that witch told you to get you to forget."
"Witch? Surely, you can't be talking about Renshi. She raised you!!!" Marron was getting angrier by the moment. "I can't believe you let these shits brainwash you!"
"You know, you were rather quiet and shy. Never used such foul language." Bulma shook her head. "What would Juuhachi-gou think? No... what would your dear father think?"
Bulma placed her hand on Krillin's head and ruffled his hair a bit. "Right Krillin?"
Krillin just chuckled nervously and waved at Marron. A glare of death was his response, making him look to the side of the room as if he found something very interesting. Marron then stared at everyone else, getting the same response out of Gohan, Goten, and Trunks. She almost shivered as Vegeta glared right back at her with a look so cold it could put out the firey temper she had at the moment. Vegeta smirked as she looked away, slightly calmed down. Now, without too much anger, she wonder what they were going to do to her. She could only imagine the cruel thing that could happen.
A voice brought her back to reality. "-when you're there?"
Marron looked at the speaker, Bulma, in confusion, not catching everything that she said. "What?"
"I said, what do you think about the most when you're there? In Renshi's base." Bulma repeated the initial question.
"What do you mean?" Marron asked.
Bulma sighed. "When I was there, I thought about being loved. It seems completely normal for an abandoned child to think about being loved, right? Well, I thought about loving, but not getting love in return. That's where Vegeta comes in. I chose to join Renshi to forget about it, but she took advantage of that and erased all of my memories. Now... what do you think about?"
Marron sighed, that was very confusing. "I... don't know. That's stupid. I remember every day of my life. It's nothing how you say it should be."
"Renshi completely erased our memories. If she could do that, what's stopping her from replacing them?"
What if they were right? No! Marron couldn't start doubting her entire life. Though, what if she was right?
"I... think... about..." Marron hesitated. "My mother."
Marron saw Bulma's face brighten up, but it was slightly unreadable, she could only tell that Bulma was interested. "Oh? Your mother? Explain."
This was getting very uncomfortable for Marron. Where was her anger when she really wanted to get out situations like this?
"Ummm... about why she left me I guess. I mean, was she not happy with me? Or happy with anything?"
"Ah ha! I think I've got it!"
Bulma swirled around and faced the others. "It's Juuhachi-gou! She's the reason why Marron got brainwashed! Kind of like a... Juuhachi-gou goes, she goes!"
The others just blinked, not really figuring out where Bulma got her theory without some real facts. Well, maybe except for the one just told by Marron. If you could count that. Bulma whipped around again to look back at Marron.
"So, would you give your life so your mother could be happy?"
Now it kind of felt like an interrogation. "No way! Why would I do that if my mother abandoned me in the first place?!"
Bulma sighed. Now this... was going to be hard if they just went around in circles.
**********
"Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot..." And so it went as Pan continued to hit her head on the metal punching bag in front of her.
"Yeah, I know how you feel." Bra said, walking into the room in a blue training outfit similar to Pan's.
"How could we just let them take her?" Pan groaned.
Bra winced, as Pan pulled back from the punching bag and almost punched it off the chain that connected it to the ceiling. Well, the whole place would need to replaced soon if the both of them were going to be letting their frustration out in there.
"We'll get the back. Why not start planning now?" Bra asked, angry as Pan was, but not exactly one to lose her temper so quickly.
Pan mummbled something resembling an agreement and followed Bra out the door.

Now... I would expect you all to hate me for making those who actually like this story to wait so long for the next chapter. A short one at that too. But ya know... once again the excuses come... I just started another fanfic... I know, shoot me if you must! Sorry? Truthfully... it was school. But anyway! I'll try a little harder to get longer chapters out faster.
