~*~*~*~

The three part-saiyans landed, their feet barely making a sound as they came in contact with the lush, green earth. All around them was a heavy silence, only occasionaly interrupted by the wind.

"It's way too quiet," Amai whispered, her warrior instincts taking over her mind. No longer did her emotions show, no longer did she feel love for Trunks when she looked to him. He, just as Gohan was, was an ally and nothing more. Emotions could greatly disrupt your thinking, and totally change the outcome of a battle.

Trunks's blue eyes narrowed when they fell on Gohan's house. "There's something in there."

Goten nodded, his eyes narrowed, and darting around the yard taking in everything. "I feel it, too. Let's go check it out."

The three teens walked toward the house, their eyes never fixed on one thing for more than a few seconds. When they walked inside, everything was a total wreck. Chairs lay in mulitple pieces on different sides of the room, while fabric of a torn table cloth waved in the steady breeze coming through the broken window.

Again flashes of the nightmare Amai had experienced darted through her mind. Her heart seemed to stop, and she felt as if she couldn't breathe; Her eyes widened and sweat beaded on her forehead.

"Amai?! Are you okay?!" Trunks asked, shaking her.

The girl's eyes stayed open but clouded over, and she could no longer see her crush in front of her ... just flashes of Gohan beaten and dying. Her hands trembled and Trunks' words echoed throughout her mind. Then, just as fast as it had started, her mind cleared, and the images disappeared revealing Trunks's worried face.

"Gohan..." Amai whipsered. "We have to find him!"

Trunks blinked and asked, "What happened Amai?! Are you okay?"

"We have to find him! Whatever is going to hurt him is here! I can feel it!" she screamed, shoving him into the far wall.

Goten jumped in front of his sister and held her firmly. "What happend, Amai? What did you see?"

Tears began to flow down Amai's cheeks, "Gohan beaten, he was dead ... and I was frozen. I couldn't help him ... we have to find him, Goten, we have to."

Her brother pulled her close and hugged her. "We will, Amai, but first calm down. We're all in this together. You're not facing this alone."

She nodded and wrapped her arms around him.

Trunks placed a hand on her back. "Come on, lets check the rest of the house."

Again the three teens continued there search throughout the house, finding all the rooms were in disarray. It was in the bedroom that they found Gohan.

He stood in the center of the room, his eyes wide and glowing a bright green. His normally black hair now flowed in the same neon green color as his eyes, and his muscles bulged from his training clothes. The half-saiyan's breath was ragged, and he snarled as he saw the three kids walk in.

"Gohan...?" Amai asked. The creature growled and narrowed its eyes at the young girl.

"What do you want?" It asked in a deep voice that errupted from it's throat.

"Who the hell are you?!" Trunks yelled. "And what did you do with Gohan?!"

Green eyes flicked to Trunks and gave a pearly white grin. "Gohan is no more." he spoke. "Now there is just Zarton."
