Chapter 21 In Pursuit

The rest found us still sitting there, holding each other in companiable silence. Ralenians scurried around everywhere, cleaning up, but they left us alone. No one approached us until the group found us.

Everyone stood still for a minute in shock. Obviously they had not been expecting to lose anyone, let alone two people. Goku and Gohan seemed shocked that Goten was gone and put their hands on my shoulder. Vegeta whispered something in Trunks's ear. I didn't know what, but Trunks nodded. Then Shin and Kibito appeared. They were equally appalled.

"Oh no, this is horrible." Shin said.

Goku nodded. "It is Supreme Kai."

I broke my silence and looked up at Kibito. "Is there anything you can do?" I asked him, knowing of his amazing healing abilities. To my dismay, he shook his head. "No, I can only heal people, not bring them back from the dead. I'm sorry."

I nodded slowly and then stood up. "Well, we must continue. But first we have to take the bodies somewhere, eat, and rest." I said. Everyone agreed. "We will take them to my planet until we can restore them." Supreme Kai said.

Trunks picked up Cat and I got Goten. I could see Gohan about to object but Goku put his hand on Gohan's arm and shook his head. Goku then took us all back to the Supreme Kai's planet. We carefully put our fellow warriors in suspension chambers and then went to get something to eat. Shin showed us places to sleep after the food.

When I woke up, it had been almost fifteen hours. I got up and got dressed and walked to the dining hall. I heard voices coming from inside.

"We need to watch her. When I found her yesterday, she just started screaming." I heard Trunks say.

"I feel bad for her. She's never been in a situation like this before and she's lost so much in such a short period of time." I heard my father in law say.

"Yeah, her kids and best friend and husband." Gohan said.

"She can get over it. Everyone loses people. You get over it." That was Vegeta. Oh, I was so mad at him. I also decided that it was time for me to appear.

"Don't worry about me guys. I wasn't the only one to lose something yesterday. Goku, you lost a son, Gohan a brother. Trunks, you lost your wife. Vegeta, well, technically you lost a daughter but you don't seem to care. I'll make it guys."

They all looked at me. "Well, you are part Saiyan and you certainly have to courage to prove it." Gohan said.

The Supreme Kai walked in. "I know this is a hard time for all of you, but we must not lose our focus. This is not a time for revenge. It is a time to save the universe…"

I tuned him out. I knew that the fate of the universe was in turmoil, but I was a little tired of hearing about it. If I saved my children before she could corrupt them, then the universe would be safe. That's all there is to say about that. And, yes, it was a time for revenge. Hello, we were all trying to destroy her for what she was doing to us and the other denizens of the universe. And I also know that Shin is God, but sometimes I question his judgment. I mean, look at the whole Majin Buu thing. "We decided not to destroy him, but let him lay dormant. We believed Bibidi was the only one who could release him…" Well, that worked out great.

Finally he stopped speaking. Gohan and Goku were the only ones that looked halfway interested in whatever he was blabbing about. He sighed. "I can see you just want to start hunting her down. Fine. You are the warriors, I will let you decide."

I jumped up. "Lets go!"

Vegeta looked at me. "Where, brat? We have no idea where she's gone from Ralen."

At that moment Kibito walked in. "She's attacked again. A planet in the same system as Ralen, Qualran. The same as always, total destruction, took all of the resources, and left."

I looked around the table. "We will go there first." Everyone nodded.

When we arrived on Qualran, it looked exactly like the first planet we had visited. Except this time, there were several legions of troops waiting for us. How do I know they were waiting for us? Cause they had just been sitting for almost six hours without attacking until we arrived. Of course, we took them out. It was just foot soldiers, not even elite troopers. It was easy killing. We learned from a survivor where Karista was headed and followed. She had already destroyed it, and left the legions behind. It was ridiculous, to a certain degree.
