"This isn't working!" barked Pieter, as he and his console of ailens met in a private room right off ChiChi's cell.
"She's got a lot of spirit," agreed Herald grimly.
"Yeah boss, how do we get rid of her spunk?" Chia spoke up, crowding around the frustrated young man.
"I don't know!" yelled Pieter, his group instantly scattering. His eyes glared at each of the aliens in turn. He snorted and turned to the wall. He even bit his thumb nail in nervously. It wouldn't be long until Goku and his gang found him out, he could only hide for so long.
"We could kill her," suggested Sheldon.
Pieter's eyes lit up at this thought. His pale face gleamed with malice as he turned to face Sheldon. "Yes," he breathed, "And after Goku finds his precicious ChiChi dead, we'll finish him off too!"
The console nodded.
"Then consider it done!" laughed Pieter, beginning to prepare for the finale of ChiChi's life......

********************************


A short time after this annoucement, Goku, Gohan, Goten,Trunks,Bulma, and Vegeta arrived at the scene. The warehouse was old, rusty and the doors were boarded up. As Gohan looked around he found one
broken window towards the bottom. He ran back to find Goku surrounded by everyone else, he was holding a small piece of ChiChi's dress. It was burned in some places and had a blood spot on its cornor.
Goku began to shake and turn very pale. "Whoever did this to my ChiChi will die!" he roared, making his hands into fists. He held tight to the little piece of cloth, hoping his beloved wife was still alive.
"Well, what are we wating for? The warehouse needs to be searched!" Vegeta snapped, trying to show that was worried.
"I...I...found an..an, an, opening," Gohan stuttered, as it was that he was trying not to concentrate on the piece of cloth.
He numbly led the way to the broken window and was the first to go in. The room he came into was very dark; the window's rays only streched a few feet. He heard the thud of Goku's feet behind him followed by the softer landing of Goten's. Goten then turned on the flashlight Bulma gave him. A stone floor was revealed and a wooden door.
The group quuetly continued their journey and opening the door. The room beyond the door only held a staircase. Goku charged ahead and reached the main level.
"Ahhh!" screamed Herald, dropping his tray of needles (for ChiChi)
Goku instantly powered up and was Super-Sayian(spelling?) in seconds. Herald could only watch as an enegry wave was shot towards him. There was a blinding light, a scream, and then nothing. Herald was dead.
"Dad!" Gohan scolded, knowing the trouble that would follow. Sure as anything, Chia, Lester, Davidson and Larry ran up, their wart
The other three Sayians jumped forward in a semi-circle around Bulma.
"Damnit! Get Pieter," Chia shouted to Larry.
Larry nodded and was on his way when Goten blasted him. Larry was unaware and was dead when the blinding light subsided.
Bulma, in the meantime side-stepped Vegeta and crept down the hall unnoticed by the fighters. However, as she threw a look back to check on Vegeta she bumped into Pieter. Bulma leaped back as the furious Pieter powered up.
Bulma looked around frantically, in hope that some escape would leap out at her. The results were negative, and there was only a second to fell hopeless and doomed for a blast of enegry came soaring at her.
"Bulma!" screamed a voice, one Bulma could not recongize for she had been forced to blink by the blinding light. Her body tensely awaited pain but none ever came.
Slowly, Bulma opened her eyes and so Vegeta crumpled at her feet, smoking from the blast. He looked at up her, his eyes the only white on his burned/sooty face and said, "Stupid woman, you shouldn't have gotton away from us," with this, Vegeta smiled, a really, really, faint smile, and passed out.
**************************************

What seemed like a century later, ChiChi stirred. She knew by the midnight blackness that she was in the cell she orginally was brought to. She had been awake before this time, for what was probably a brief time, but seemed like forever. She shuddered at what had happened after the many blasts. ChiChi shook her head and tried to concentrate on living,and seeing Goku, Gohan, and Goten again. Even if it was for the briefest time, even if it was a mere glimpse. For as the hours passed by, the inveitable thought that Goku was not coming was dwelled on even more.
ChiChi hung her head, and let her tired body ease up. She tried to pretend she was at home, safe and sound, and that she had not a care in the world. This fanasty entranced ChiChi to stay concious and to sleep. Soon after, only ChiChi's soft breathing filled the soliltary cell.
*****************************************

The other aliens continued to battle Gohan, Goten, and Goku, and soon Pieter joined in. With Vegeta out cold, barely alive, the three Sayians knew they could not hold out much longer. Their enegry was dwindling and they all knew that within the next hour, they would be unable to battle, exhaused, worn out.............



Will Goku,Goten,and Gohan ever rescue ChiChi?
