Videl woke with a start. She had opened her eyes under some kind of water,
but it wasn't water, it was too thick to be water. She found she had an air
mask on, and something connected to her forehead. She pulled four white
wires out of her skin, which stung, but then stopped stinging all of a
sudden. She felt for marks that were not there any more. She frowned into
the air mask and decided to leave. She pushed at the clear tank wall, but
it wouldn't give. She growled and pulled back her hands, "Ka . . ..Me . .
..Ha . . ..ME . . ..HAAAAAAAAA!" She fired the wave at the clear tank wall
and it shattered into a million pieces. The liquid rushed out of the tank,
taking Videl with it. Coughing because the mask had been ripped off and she
swallowed what ever the liquid was, she got to her feet. "DAMN! PRISONER
ESCAPED!" A man in a white coat screamed to a guard near by. She knocked
the man out quickly and dealt with the two guards that had come to contain
her. She growled as a wave of dizziness came over her. She frowned and
leaned on the wall a moment, before taking to the hallway. She ran along
and when she heard footsteps she hid behind things that littered the walls,
crates and boxes. As she ran, she soon got confidant that she was feeling
better, and when she had to take out another guard, she didn't feel any
dizziness this time.
She heard several loud shouts from behind her and hid in a room off to the side as guards ran past. "SEARCH THE SHIP, PRISONER ESCAPED SEARCH THE SHIP!" They yelled, when the Ki's faded, Videl crept out of the room and down the hall. She soon came upon a cargo bay that had been abandoned. She decided she would wait until the ship landed somewhere before she made her move. With all her mind on her problem she didn't have a chance as they snuck up on her like a dog on a rabbit. They pounced on her from behind, crushing her against the wall as something broke the skin on her neck. She was soon released, and spun around to face the men in front of her. She blasted them quickly, destroying them. She could not stay here. She ran out of the cargo bay and down the deserted hallways. When she felt a group of Ki's headed her way, she had to duck into a room without checking it for Ki's, she'd hoped that no one was in there, she'd hoped wrong.
While she was paying attention to the Ki's outside, she ran across one inside, and soon felt a hand close over her mouth and one hold her against the wall. Soon another wave of dizziness over came her, but this time it wasn't from a rush if moving to quickly after a long sleep, and she found herself limp, against who ever held her. She was slowly going numb all over, and the last thing she saw before total darkness overcame her, was the face of a very handsome man.
Gohan had been shocked when his door had suddenly opened and a girl ran in, closing it behind her. She seemed intent on something and didn't notice him sneak up on her. He held he against the wall, and then she went limp. He hoped that he hadn't used too much force to contain her. She must have been the slave that had escaped. He sighed and then noticed the mark on her neck. Never mind, he hadn't used too much force she'd been knocked out by a paralysis. He sighed and scooped up the light form of the girl. In the dark he could not tell what she looked like, even with his great eyesight in the dark, her hair got in the way. He didn't even bother to look at her as he walked down the hall toward the Brig. A group of soldiers ran past, but stopped when they saw the girl. "Someone drop by for a late night visit?" asked the captain, grinning. "Thanks for the help third class, your relieved, go back to bed." For some reason Gohan didn't want to give up the girl, but he gave her over willing enough to please the man. "Anyone would want to keep her, shes a beauty, and she was hell to capture too, don't worry, she'll be first on the block to be sold. Should bring in a pretty price too." The guard walked off carrying the limp form of the girl. Gohan had no choice but to follow the second class warrior's orders and go back to his room to sleep. But he dreamed of the girl all night long, even though he never saw her face.
Videl slowly opened her eyes. She groaned at what she saw. She still couldn't move her body much, but at least she could look around. She again was inside a tank, with several strong guards watching over her. She gave a weak smile into her mask. As if sensing her smile, the shorter of the two guards scrowled at her. She gave a laugh and air was forced from the sides of the mask, letting the strangely warm liquid in. She stopped laughing and was forced to swallow the liquid in order to get back the air. She peered around, moving her head slightly. Little air bubbles floated up from the bottom of the tank, caressing her body. It tickled a bit, but then she felt pain at her neck. She slowly moved her hand, which felt like it weighed a ton, to her neck. She felt a collar there and cold dread descended over her face. She paled and her heart rate slowed down until it was a dull thud in her ears. The taller of the two guards frowned, looking over the monitors, which were again hooked up to her forehead. She removed the cords again, cutting them off from her vital signs. Then panic set in, her heart picked up speed and she was soon searching for a way out of the tank, forgetting to use Ki blasts.
The tall guard said something to the other guard, who ran out and fetched another man in a white coat. He frowned at the monitors and pressed something on the machine. Some kind of knock out gas was coming into the air mask, and as a last ditch effort to stay awake and get out of the tank, she ripped the mask off, shocking everyone in the room. The tank was quickly a death machine. The collar around her neck gave a violent shock, which knocked the air out of her, and she was soon needed air, but she didn't go for the air mask. She soon went limp. The tank was drained and she was shocked again and again until she couldn't move, as if the drug they had given her earlier hadn't been in effect still. She lay limp as she was reconnected to the machine, the mask was returned, this time locked in place, and she was soon asleep again.
The next time Videl awoke, it was to being dragged out of the tank. She was groggy and didn't resist because she had no idea of what was going on, her mind was not quiet working at the moment. She was frog marched down the hallway until she was, 'gently' you could say because of the state she was in, set in a smaller ship in a cellblock that housed thousands of slaves. She was alone in her cell until a doctor like person came and checked her up, saying something about after effects of the heavily used drugs to keep he sedated through the regeneration chamber time period. She was told to stay still and they were eventually go away. She was left some baggy clothing that she put on over her cloths.
She dazedly waited for what ever was going to happen, but then the drugs started to wear off. The next time the doctor came to check on her, he almost got hit by a Ki blast, which did nothing to the bars containing her. She growled an oath and was forced to sit down as the collar gave her a violent shock. The doctor entered and she tried again to hit him, but he dodged it, as the collar shocked her into submission, a very dazed and limp submission mind you, not that she did it willingly. She growled another oath as the man asked her to remove all of he other Earth clothing. When she flat out refused, no matter how many shocks she was given, they finally gave up and let her keep her clothing as long as she had the other clothing over it
When a fierce looking saiya-jin came to give her food, she ignored it, fearing it might be drugged. After days of no food and water, she lost a lot of weight, but she still worked her muscles until she passed out on the little bed that was in the cell. That night when the food came, and she didn't eat, an extremely large guard had to force-feed her so she wouldn't starve. It wasn't fun, and the guard ended up with a singed uniform and a very disgruntled, but full, Videl. She found it wasn't drugged when she woke up in the morning after her short training. If it'd been drugged, she would have a monster of a headache by now. That same day, Videl was taken from her cell and led to a transport that took her to a block where slaves were being sold. "Name." The guard grunted at her. She didn't answer. "Name?" he asked again. She didn't answer again, as a matter of fact, she ignored him, searching for her friends Ki's.
They must still be weak, or they weren't on the planet. A sudden pain in her stomach brought her back to reality. "Name?" The man grunted again. She didn't answer. "Maybe she doesn't understand you? Maybe she can't talk? Ever think about that? Don't bruise the property. She looks like a warrior, ohh call her.I don't know, Cindy, that's a good earth name I heard once . . .." "Videl." She growled to the man, staring daggers at him.
The man smirked. "Videl it is. Are you a warrior?"
She didn't even answer him. He grunted and wrote something down, then left.
She was soon shoved out onto the block, when she fought, she was shocked again by the collar too her knees. She growled curses in every language she knew, which included saiya-jin, which Kami had been kind enough to teach her should the monkey walking ass holes catch her. She even invented a few that shocked the saiya-jins into bidding on her. She shut her mouth and searched for her friends Ki's raising to her feet. This was a perfect opportunity to fly away. She pulled at the collar but it wouldn't move. So she decided it would be best to leave it for now. Something pushed her down a flight of stairs, she fell, but quickly back flipped back onto her feet using the momentum of the fall before she had completely stopped. She found she had been sold.
"Watch out for this one, she's feisty and killed almost a whole fleet of our weakest warriors, it took a second class to bring her down, and you don't even want to know about the mess she caused on the Prince's ship."
"I'll watch her close.hey what they hell!" the man who had bought her grabbed her foot before she could make contact with his face. She was flipped onto her back then shocked all to hell, again. It seemed to be their favorite pass time to shock her. "Guess she'll be a problem. If she's too much of a problem, I'll kill her, like the last one." The man grunted, she soon found it was the handsome man who had been in the room when she passed out. She growled an oath and was dragged along. "Sides, shes not even for me, it's for the Prince himself." He didn't even bother to call her a female. She growled and oath and was forced to follow in his wake . . .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another Cliff hanger!
