Gohan's eyes blinked as he watched his mother freak out over where he had gone.

"No more fighting Gohan! Do you hear me?" Chi-Chi yelled.

"But Mom! You don't understand!" Gohan whined.

"Gohan, I understand more than you'll ever know now go in your room and study until dinner's ready." Chi-Chi said ending their conversation.

Gohan huffed and hung his head in defeat, it looked like the androids would have to wait until his dad got better. Suddenly there was an explosion outside the Son house. "…It couldn't be…please Kami." Gohan silently prayed.

"Goku! Come out and play!" 17 taunted.

"Mom, you have to get out of here!" Gohan yelled in panic as he tried to pull her away from the window.

"Why Gohan? You aren't going to fight those guys are you said?" she asked in confusion.

"Mom please, we don't have time for…" he was cut off by the front door being kicked down by 17.

"Sorry for my impatience but since I'm here…" the android sneered.

"Excuse me sir, but you have some nerve kicking down the door to my house! I'll have you know…hey Gohan what are you doing?!" she yelled as Gohan stood defensively in front of her.

"Let's take this outside." The boy growled.

"Fine." 17 laughed following the half Saiyajin outdoors

Gohan lowered his eyebrows, he had to draw them away from his house at all costs. He went to fly off when 18 hit him from behind and the boy went crashing to the ground. He struggled to get up but was blasted by 17.

Seeing this, Chi-Chi flipped out and ran at the android with her frying pan, getting a good swig at him, "Leave my Gohan alone!"

"Crazy lady!" 17 grimaced as he rubbed his head.

Chi-Chi went to strike him again but was blasted through the heart by the menacing android. She took a dazed step back, she looked down at her son and her mouth shaped out the words, "I love you." before she fell to the ground still clutching her frying pan.

Gohan stood up shakily and looked down at his mother, his eyes watered and lower lip trembled. "Ma…ma…MOMMY!" he screamed as he fell to his knees and scratched at the ground. He had let his mother die, he had let Piccolo die, he had let everyone down. He couldn't take it anymore.

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

Bulma cradled her knees as she sat huddled in the corner of her lab. She didn't know what to do with herself. There were a million things to do and no way to get them done. Her eyes cringed.

Yamcha…so many memories. She remembered the first time she saw him. He had looked so rugged in the hot desert sun, yet by his reaction to her she knew he was the shy, she had always had a weakness for the shy type.

Of course, Vegeta was anything but shy. No, he was downright dangerous. Not dangerous as in causing her physical harm, he would never do that to her, somehow she had always known that, she could read it clear in his eyes. He was dangerous as in emotional chaos. He was a new element, something so untouchable.

Untouchable…like Goku's spirit. Goku…she smiled as she thought of his goofy grin and laugh that always made her feel better. On Namek all she would have to do was think of him and she knew she would survive and she did survive. She inhaled heavily and knew everything would be okay. Somehow…somehow this would all work out…some way.

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

Goku's teeth gritted; he felt hr torn away from him. Every fiber in his body ached from the separation but it couldn't be real. He was dreaming it; Chi-Chi was still there. His mind tried to coax his body to wake up. He felt an urgency to find Chi-Chi and Gohan. He felt danger all around them. Danger…Danger…Danger…Danger…

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

Gohan's body shook with hatred and sorrow as he felt a power he never knew he had surge through his veins, he would avenge his mother and all those; these androids had killed. His tear filled eyed turned turquoise and his jet-black hair stood up in blonde streaks. He growled as he felt this new energy burst from his every cell.

17 and 18 stood back in slight shock.

17 managed to mutter, "Wow."

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

Goku tossed around his bed violently, "Get out of there Gohan…get out of there…" he warned in his unconscious.

Bulma stood up at and walked over to him concerned, "Gohan?" She shrugged it off thinking it was a delusion from his fever. She felt his head with her cheek, he was warm but not nearly as hot as he had been. She decided it would be best to hook him up to an IV though, so the antidote would go through his system faster, in case he was relapsing.

Goku fought back the darkness; he had to find the androids before they got Gohan. Suddenly, the blackness parted around him and he was in his backyard again. He looked around, was he awake?

He studied the outside of his house; the door had been kicked down. Had he done that? He couldn't remember. Chi-Chi wouldn't be happy about it, that he knew. Chi-Chi? Where was she anyway? He looked about the house and then back outside, it wasn't like her to leave without saying something to him. He went further out into the field when suddenly her limp figure became apparent to him.

"Chi-Chi!" he ran to her small figure and examined her. She was…dead. He choked down his tears but sobs still shook his body. Gone…all gone. He buried his face in her neck and continued to sob as held her lifeless body, "I'm sorry Chi-Chi, so sorry."

"Look at the almighty Goku sob like a baby." The male android taunted.

Goku's head shot up as he stared daggers through him, "There's no shame in crying."

The android smirked, "But surely there's shame in not being able to protect one's family."

Goku stood up gingerly placing his wife's body down. "You'll pay for this." He growled.

"Funny…" 18 giggled, "That's just what that blonde kid said before we hahahahahahaha!"

"Did what?" A suddenly panicked Goku begged.

The androids just stood there laughing at him.

"Stop it!" he yelled running to attack them but only hitting air. The androids just laughed harder and harder.

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

Gohan attacked the androids with hatred burning in his eyes. He hit 17 into a tree and 18 into his house causing Gohan to stop in his tracks and giggle, "oops."

17 struggled back up to his feet and attacked the young boy while his back was turned. Gohan fell forward but caught himself and kicked the android in the stomach and then in the head as he jumped back to his feet.

18 grunted as she climbed out of the closet that she had landed in. She had articles of clothing all over her, articles of ugly clothing she realized as she saw her reflection in the mirror. She quickly discarded them about the room and rushed back outside, kicking an unsuspecting Gohan into 17's grasp. 17 smiled and blasted him back to 18. She smirked and kicked him back to 17.

"Monkey in the middle!" he joked punching him back to 18.

Gohan coughed up some blood, they were just too overwhelming, not even a Super Saiyajin could beat them. He closed his eyes and realized he couldn't even raise a defensive attack. "I'm sorry daddy." He whispered.

"He's talking to himself 17," 18 blasting him back to 17.

17 raised an eyebrow and sighed, "Uh oh, well I'm not fighting a crazy, see you later Goku." He laughed and sent a final blast through Gohan's heart.

The young boy stumbled back and landed a few feet from his mother's body. The world went black.

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

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Goku screamed sitting straight up in bed, his eyes shooting open.

Bulma stepped back and gasped as he went Super Saiyajin, dispelling the IV from his arm. "S…Son-kun?" she whispered in awe of the golden aura surrounding him.

"The androids…" he growled.
