AN: I know! It's been so long! I missed all of you!


Revenge Is Sweet
Part X

"MOMMY!" Goten cried, his tears blurring his vision.

Gohan tried to go faster but it wasn't working. He was going as fast as he could. It was too late now.

"MOM! DAD!" he cried hoping one of them would wake up.

The ki blast neared his parents.

Oh please Kami, oh please.

*******
*In Goku's mind*

Goku was swimming in a sea of black. "Where am I?" he asked. His voice echoed. There were no walls. Just pitch black. No sound. Other than him. Nothing. He looked all around him and behind him he saw Chichi's body.

It was bloody, and most of her clothes were torn.

"Chichi!" Goku ran to her, but as soon as he touched her she disappeared.

"Chichi?! Where are you?"

Silence was his answer. "Where am I?" he repeated.

"You are unconscious" a voice replied.

"What the hell?"

A figure appeared in front of Goku.
It looked exactly like him.

"What the hell are you?"

"You."

"How can you be me?" Goku asked.

"I'm your subconscious," it replied walking to Goku and snapping his fingers a view of what was happening outside appeared...

"You've had a rough day," it told him circling him.

"To say the least...Look, I really need to get back to my wife and children, so it was great seeing you but-"

"You can't," it interrupted.

'What do you mean 'I can't'?" Goku snapped. "My wife could die and you're telling me I can't go save her?"

"You can't go back. Not right now," it told him. It showed him a view of what was going on.

"But how can I save her? How can I-" Goku broke off, not being able to say the words.

"Only your wife and children can help now."

"Damn it! Damn it all to hell!" Goku cried, tears forming in his eyes.

"You have no faith in them?" it asked stunned.

"I do...it's just..."

"Just what?" it said urging Goku to continue.

"Gohan and Goten can't get to us in time." Goku replied.

"Is that what you think? You must have more faith in your children and wife."

Goku looked at his subconscious. "What do you mean?"

"Watch," was all his subconscious told him.

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

Chichi's sunconscious*

"Poor girl. My, how much abuse you take." Chichi opened her eyes and was overwhelmed by the dark. She squinted her eyes.

"Ah. Too much dark for you."

She opened her eyes to see...

"You're me!" she cried stumbling backwards

"Yes, that's right. I'm your subconscious," it told her wiping away the blood off her face.

"How can you be me, if I'm me?"

"I don't know," it replied washing a cut on her cheek.

"Oh...Oh my God, Goku! Gohan! Goten! Where are they? Are they OK? My babies!"

"Calm down," her subconscious coaxed.

"But-"

"There's nothing you can do right now," it told her.

"I have to help them! For my sake and for theirs!" Chichi cried.

"I know. But that's your will. You have to will yourself to open your eyes. And help," it told her walking away.

"How do I do that?" Chichi asked.

"You try," her subconscious said walking away.

"Thanks..." Chichi murmured. She closed her eyes.

Kami, if you can hear me, please help me. My boys, and my husband need me. They need me. Oh Kami, if there ever was a time I needed you...

**********

In the real World (not any one's subconscious.)

Chichi could feel pain. It grew stronger with every breath.

I'm...alive. Oh thank you Kami!

For the first time Chichi was very glad to feel that pain

She felt warm and realized she was in Goku's arms. Somehow, somehow she had to move. To turnover.

"Gohan? Goten?" her voice was weak and cracked but Gohan heard her as is she were yelling.

"MOM!" he cried. "MOM! Move to the left!" he shouted

Chichi tried to will her body left. It moved about 5 centimeters.
She moved left again. 10 centimeters.

She finally moved enough

Goku!
Goku was till in the way of the ki blast.

She tried to move her right arm to push him down, but that didn't work.
Goku was on her left arm...

Think Chichi think! Oh, shit this is something they don't teach you in school...
Chichi used the only thing left she could use...her teeth.

She pulled on Goku's hair with her teeth, getting it to move just a tiny bit.

"Come on," she coaxed.

Goku's head moved to the right and Gohan saw it.

Time had run out.

The yellow ki blast had reached Chichi and Goku.

Chichi gave one last tug on Goku's hair and passed out.

~*In Chichi's mind*~

She was falling. There was no bottom in sight.

She had made a difference though. She had saved her husband.

Her pride swelled, she had thwarted a madman's plan, just like in the movies.

But this time, it wouldn't be like the movies. It was possible the hero wouldn't live.

This would be a first.

But life sucks.

Chichi told her self

"Life is unfair, and cruel. I wish this wasn't how I'm going to die," she murmured as she ascended into darkness

"This wasn't supposed to happen. I'm not supposed to die, like this."

"I'm so sorry I couldn't have done more..."



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


I finally finished it! YAY! Aren't you happy for me?

OK, I need a vote here,

Should someone die?

If so, who?


Ya'll tell me and I'll do it if I get enough votes for one person!

To a certain extent. They have to be in DBZ...


Lots of Luv,
Peace Luv and Chicken,

Lady Zero
