Breakdown Chapter 6; If You Haven't Got Your Health...

Note- November is a wonderful month! In November of 1999 I discovered fan fiction and began
writing. ^_^ Happy Anniversary to me!!
Vegeta was quite annoyed. Never, in his entire life, through all his battles and partnerships, did he think he'd hit this point. Bound to Kakarot by the ankle stumbling around a misty maze searching for some idiot girl so they could get out of there. How stupid! Of course, the minute the girl had vanished, Vegeta had tryed using a controlled ki blast as a sort of blow-torch, but it didn't even scratch the ring that held him to this nightmare. Both of them had tried pulling their feet out of their boots, but the thing was bound to tight. In the end, Goku had proposed that they do what this girl asked, and perhaps they would find out more about her. Vegeta grudgingly complied. That was where the real problem began.
"All right then, lets go." Goku started to walk away, forgetting he was stuck to Vegeta. Vegeta tripped and fell, taking Goku down with him, and they ended up in a tangled heap that was near impossible to get out of. "Ok, then maybe we'd better fly." Goku said apologetically. Vegeta just grumbled and took to the air. Since they had no idea where to go, they kept straight for a while. Just as Vegeta was about to lose it, both Saiyan's senses picked up a ki level and went after it simultaneously. What they didn't know was that they were each picking up a different chi, though each was the same level. Vegeta flew to the left as Goku tryed to turn to the right and they found themselves trying to fight free of eachother again. Vegeta reassessed the situation.
"There are two kis. One over there," He pointed to the left, "And one over there." He gestured to the right. "They are identical and either could be what we're looking for. So which to we go to?"
"The one to the right," Goku said. "I have a feeling that's the one we need." He began heading to the right.
"No, I think its the one on the left." Vegeta began heading to the left.
"How do you know its left?"
"How do you know its right?"
"The same way you know its left!" Goku and Vegeta stared eachother in the eye as best they could. Sparks flew as they both powered up past Super Saiyan. Suddenly Goku laughed and powered down.
"Whats so funny, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.
"It's just that you look so weird close up!" Goku spat out between peals of laughter. Vegeta looked slightly put out.
"We are going left!" Vegeta declared, trying to fly left, but Goku stopped him.
"I'm positive it's right. Besides, whenever we fight, who is always right anyway?'' Goku said.
"Me." Vegeta said stubbornly and tried to force Goku to the left. Goku formed a small ki blast in his hand and held it up.
"Vegeta, if you move one more inch that way, I will singe off every last hair on your head!" Goku threatened. Vegeta responded by forming a ki blast of his own.
"And I will do the same to you," He promised. Goku just shrugged.
"I'm not as uptight about my hair is you. I couldn't care less if I walked away looking like Nappa." He said with an easy-going smile.
"I am not uptight about my hair!"
"Sure. And you don't use five cans of heavy-duty hair spray every day, either." Goku taunted. Vegeta just growled and threw his ki blast backwards where it exploded, causing a small break in the light orange mist. Both Saiyans flew toward the ki on the right. After a while they reached it, but it was not the girl. The swirling mists parted around a large blue sphere of ki. When the two flew into the clear proximity of the ki ball, a voice sounded.
"Congratualtions. You have managed to not find me. Total time to detonation; 5 seconds."
"This is all your fault Kakarot!"
"5..."
"ME!? You're the one who agreed to come this way!"
"4..."
"You threatened me!"
"3..."
"It's not my fault you're obsessed with your hair!!!"
"2..."
"I am not obsessed with my hair!"
"1..... BANG!" The sphere exploded in a burst of bright light, knocking the two bickereing warriors back several hundred yards where they landed at the feet of an Image.
"Shame on you. I had thought better of you both. Your time here is nearly over. You definitely don't deserve this, but because I'm nice and don't hold grudges..... I'll show you who I am."
"What grudge?" Goku wondered as the Image rippled and cleared to reveal a normal picture of a girl. Neither Vegeta nor Goku recognized her.
"Oh, that's right I forgot. Here." The girl waved her hand and rippled and changed again. This time, both Vegeta and Goku recognized her. The mist around them convieniently dissapated and they left the state of being, however, before they could say her name. (Isn't that just too bad for you...)
********************
Back in Capsule Corp., Vegeta and Goku's bodies both took in air. Bulma and Sam looked up from their microscopes.
"All right, four down, one to go." Bulma said. "Have you figured anything out yet?"
"Yes," replied Sam. "The cloudy stuff- the virus? It only appears to have gone away. It is really lingering and holding back the cell's activities. If we don't totally get rid of it, they won't ever wake up." Bulma nodded.
"I found the same thing. But I also found that certain parts of the virus can be fought with different things. Once we figure out how each part of the virus can be deactivated, I can create a mixture of all the deactivators and inject it into their bloodstream." She explained. Sam nodded and bent back over her microscope and notes. What they didn't know was that there were really two more victims.
**********************
Piccolo still lay face down in the spot where that thing had attacked him. (betcha forgot about Piccolo, didn't ya? No? well you're just talented then...) He appeared to be sleeping, but he wasn't breathing at all. Somehow, though, he was still alive, and quite so in his mind.
Piccolo was surrounded in purple mist, battling off a... something. She wouldn't show herself and remained shrouded in a purple veil of slightly thicker mist than what surrounded him. He could tell it was a girl only by the voice and couldn't guess at the species. At first he had thought her to be human, but the power she was displaying now, though minimal in comparison to his own, was far too great for any human to handle, excluding, perhaps, Krillin and Yamcha. The power was as high as a Super Saiyan's, and Piccolo knew he could beat her easily, but he was holding back in order to find out more. But she sensed it.
"You're holding back!" She screamed, throwing her hardest punches. Piccolo blocked them all with ease and fought back with much less vigor. The girl was even able to block a few hits. "Stop hiding your power!" She landed a hit to his head. It didn't have much effect. Piccolo faught back harder and kicked her back into the mist easily. She vanished and reappeared as the cloudy image he had first seen her as. She appeared, or would've appeared if Piccolo could have seen her, contemplative.
"Perhaps I HAVE underestimated you," She said, mostly to herself. "But it doesn't matter. I guess we'll find out soon enough..." She trailed off.
"What are you talking about?" Piccolo asked. He could feel the thin cut he had noticed earlier on his back start to heal and fade. "Who are you?!" He demanded. The mist was starting to thin and vanish. The Image was fading as well. Piccolo felt himself leaving this place.
"I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill ya. Toodles!" She vanished altogether, but her voice lingered. "Besides, It wouldn't do you any good at all."
**************************
Piccolo's body took in a breath... of dust... and he began to breathe regularly. But if no one knew that he, too, was a victim of this strange disease, who would cure him?
**************************
Bulma slammed her hands down on the lab table she and Sam were working at.
"WHAT?!" She exclaimed. She checked her notes, shook her head, then checked her notes again. "WHAT?! she repeated.
"Um... what?" Sam ventured.
"Croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, silica, hydrogen, magnesium stearate, oxygen, glucose... So simple!" Bulma ran out of the room. Sam looked over Bulma's notes and lifted an eyebrow. Interesting...
*********************
In the kitchen...
Bulma grabbed a bowl and a bottle of Vitamins out of a cabinet. Then she gathered up some sugar and water. She ground the vitamins to a pulp then mixed the powder with sugar an water. Testing the consitancy, she added more vitamin-powder, then water, then powder. When she was satisfied at the thickness she took the solution back to the lab.
"What's that?" Sam asked, peering into the bowl.
"Hopefully, the antidote."
"But how will we test it?"
"Well, I suppose the safe thing to do would be to subject an infected cell to the mixture and watch the results, but, as always with Saiyans, there are differeing variables." Bulma explained.
"So..." Sam watched Bulma put an amount of the liquid into a syringe and walked over to Vegeta.
"So we test it and hope its not poison." She injected it into Vegeta's arm.
