Chapter 5: Refusal

   Gohan and Vegeta landed in front of the Son's resident. Gohan left Vegeta and ran into the house. "Dad! Dad! You here?" Gohan continued to scream out to Goku.

   "I'm right here son, you don't need to hurt my ears!" Goku screamed back.

   "We need your help."

   "We?" Goku gave a confused expression.

   "Yes, we." Vegeta walked in with his arms crossed, as usual.

   "What? What's Vegeta doing here?"

   "Bulma's missing too, dad. I have a feeling her and Videl are together. Can you help us find them?"

   "This is serious Gohan." Goku narrowed his eyes and concentrated. "This is odd. I sense two very small ki's to the north."

   "Where dad?" Gohan looked worried.

   "The Zurizury mountains. I haven't been there since…god, since you were a boy."

   Gohan's eyes went wide. "That's where Piccolo was…"

   "Yes, son. This is more serious than I thought. We'll have to move swiftly and get there as soon as possible. You don't think he could be there, could you?"

   "No dad. You killed him."

   Vegeta grew impatient. He did not know what was going on. "Excuse me, I WOULD like to know what the hell you're talking about!"

   "Sorry to keep you in the dark, Vegeta. You see, we ran into some trouble up there a few years back…"

   "Dad, it was more like over ten years ago."

   "Yeah. We ran into some trouble out there and…" Goku proceeded to tell Vegeta the whole story about Dr. Willow, Dr. Kotchen, and the dragonballs.

   "So what you're saying is that an evil scientist took the woman and the brat's girlfriend hostage, and we have to get them?"

   "Yup"

   "Doesn't sound too hard." Vegeta did his signature smirk.

   "I wouldn't be to sure" Gohan said, "He knows at least dad's going to come. I'm guessing that it's his whole point of holding Videl and Bulma hostage. He probably wants the most powerful man on Earth there so…" Vegeta growled at Gohan.  Gohan paused, nervously laughed, and continued. "Of course, he didn't know about the great Prince Vegeta that is the husband of Bulma Briefs."

   "And we better hurry" Goku said, starting to walk out the door. "Only Kami knows what he's going to do to them…" Goku looked over at Gohan. He knew he shouldn't have said that in front of him. Gohan's hair started to flicker gold. After a few seconds, he calmed down and slowly walked out of the room. Goku and Vegeta followed him.

   Dr. Kotchen entered the cell again. "So, are you ready to talk? If you aren't, I have some friends that can force it out of you." Dr. Kotchen smiled while two creatures stood on either side of him. To the left of him stood a blue creature of small stature, with slightly slanted eyes.  At the end of his scaly arms were long fingers with finger nails twice as long. He wore a long cloak that covered most if his body and head. To the right of Dr. Kotchen was a tall brown creature. He had jet black hair that came down to his shoulders, and his clothes consisted of a T-shirt and shorts. Both looked slightly out of proportion. Dr. Kotchen still had a wide smile on his face and looked at Videl. 

   "So Videl. Ready to tell me where this Gohan lives?"

   Videl looked back up at him and shook her head.

   "Say something, damn it!"

   Videl sighed, "Stop looking at me like that" She said softly.

   Dr. Kotchen moved forward. In response, Videl started to back into a corner.

   "Tell me Videl," He said. Videl's back hit a wall. "What will it take for you to tell me?"

   "Get away from me." She whispered. She barely had the energy to talk. "Get away from me now, or I'll…"

   "Or you'll what?"

   Videl looked down.

   "That's exactly what I thought. Now which one of my bio-androids do you want to get the answer out of you?" He pointed to the blue bio-android. "That one's Toyota" then he pointed to the brown bio-android, "and that one is Mitsubishi. Take you're pick." Videl stayed silent. Dr. Kotchen put one hand on the wall besides her head and whispered into her ear. "Besides, if you don't pick one, I will. And if you don't tell him where Gohan and Goku are, I'll have him strike you until you do. If you still choose to remain silent, I'll have him kill you." Videl eyes went wide.

   Meanwhile, Bulma was watching the whole thing. She was far enough away not to hear the conversation. She started to shake, and realized what Dr. Kotchen was trying to do. Running, Bulma hit Dr. Kotchen as hard as she could  upside the head, making him fall down. Getting up, he cursed. "Damn you woman! What the hell are you trying to do?" Bulma hit him upside the head as he was getting up.

   "What the hell are you doing? Taking advantage of a girl her age! And nobody, and I mean NOBODY calls ME women EXCEPT Vegeta!"

   Dr. Kotchen started to laugh as Bulma gave him a confused look. "You…you think I was trying to do that? You have got to be kidding me." Bulma hit him in the head again. Dr. Kotchen rubbed his head and looked over to the bio-androids. "Toyota, you take care of this."

   "Yes, master." Toyota said in a husky voice. He walked over to Bulma, picked her up, and easily threw her across the cell. Hitting the wall, she cried out in pain, and sunk to the floor. Toyota then turned and walked over to Videl. She swallowed and looked into the bio-androids eyes. Toyota was about to grab Videl when he heard a beeping sound. Turning around, a TV came down from the ceiling. It turned on, and revealed three people standing in front of the icy building.

   Dr. Kotchen smiled. "Ah, they are here." He said, getting up. "Come Mitsubishi, let us go welcome our new visitors."

   "Yes" Mitsubishi said, following Dr. Kotchen.

   With Mitsubishi and Dr. Kotchen gone, Toyota turned back to Videl. "Now, where were we?"

   Videl swallowed again. "There's no-no need for this. They're here. You don't need any information from me anymore. I don't need to talk"

   "But you do. We may need it for another time"

   "If that is what it comes down to, I'm not saying a word." Videl said sternly.

   "If that is how you want it." Toyota cracked his knuckles. He might have been short, but he was most definitely taller than Videl. Grabbing her shirt, he lifted her up to his level. "You tell me now"

   "No" Videl shook her head. Without letting her go, Toyota slammed Videl against the wall.

   "Speak!" He grabbed her by the throat and punched her in the stomach. He let go of her and let her fall to the ground. "Excuse me. I have some other matters to take care of. We are not through." The bio-android turned around, and walked out

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This took me a while to write. (damn Cowboy Bebop marathon on CN…) I know I don't write very long chapters, but that's less for you to read, right? Right. Okay, I need to do another disclaimer.  I own the characters Toyota and Mitsubishi, but I don't own the cars or the car company or anything. I needed names for the characters, so I used those. My mom had a Toyota one time. It was a sucky car. Well…that's not the point. I don't own them. So don't sue me. Damn…now I'm going to have to say this before every chapter…
