Chapter 14
"We're almost there." Remon said.
Gohan and Remon had been flying over the uninhabited desert like planet for about half an hour. A few minutes later Gohan could see the distant shape of a building. "There it is Gohan." Remon said, pointing to the tall dark structure looming ahead of them.
"It's huge." Gohan said in awe of the amazingly large palace where Frieza dwelled.
"Yeah I know." Remon said.
Frieza's palace was a large metallic structure, lightening would reflect off the palace whenever it struck. The roof was rounded off and lookout posts dotted it. Gohan and Remon descended to the ground and continued towards the palace on foot for fear of being spotted if they didn't. The lookout's contained three or four guard's per lookout, making Gohan and Remon's advance towards the palace extremely difficult. "Gohan over here." Remon said, motioning with his hand for Gohan to follow him.
Gohan hurried over to where Remon was standing. Remon bent down and pulled out a large vent door, which led into the palace through a low narrow tunnel. "Quickly, follow me." Remon said.
"No Remon, you've helped quite enough, and that I thank you for. I think you should go back to your hideout. I shall send a distress signal from my pod via remote control and have a rescue team come to get you." Gohan said.
Gohan then started climbing into the crevice in which Remon had uncovered. Gohan had barely gotten into the small hole when he felt his foot being jerked on. Gohan poked his head out of the tunnel. "Please Gohan, let me come with you, I promise to stay inside the tunnel." Remon said.
Gohan sighed. "Ok, but only if you stay in the tunnel."
"Ok." Remon replied.
Gohan crawled back in the tunnel followed immediately by Remon. As they reached the end of the tunnel Gohan saw shadows moving around. He stopped and slowly poked his head out of the tunnel. Gohan saw hundreds poorly dressed people sitting down on the dirt like floor of a gigantic sized room. The people had their arms above their heads. Their arms were shackled to the wall with thick metal restraints. The people also had collars on their necks like the one Gohan had when he had been arrested. Gohan turned around and looked at Remon.
"You didn't tell me this tunnel led to the dungeon." Gohan spoke sternly to Remon.
"I'm sorry, I thought since you wanted to sneak into the palace without being detected that this would be the safest way." Remon said.
Gohan sighed. "Yeah, one problem though. This place is probably crawling with guards.
"That's where I thought ahead." Remon said.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked in curiosity.
"Well the one way you sneak past a guard, don't let them know it's you. Just pass as a prisoner and you'll be just fine." Remon said.
"Great idea Remon." Gohan said.
Gohan crawled out of the tunnel and into the room where the prisoners were all chained to the walls. When the prisoners saw Gohan standing before them, free of all restraints they gasped and awed at him in wonder, as if he was some kind of legendary hero. Some started begging for him to set them free. Gohan shook his head and held his had out to quiet the freedom hungry prisoners whispers and pleas for help. "I shall help you all, but not at this moment. I need to take one man's place, that way all of you will be free in time." Gohan said.
Everyman in the room started pointing at themselves and raising there hands saying, "Pick me, pick me."
Gohan walked up the long walls of prisoners. He passed many before coming to one that he thought resembled his likeness the most. Gohan broke the restraints that held the prisoner with ease. The prisoner stood up slowly from lack of strength. After the prisoner stood up, Gohan reached for the collar that was fastened tightly around the prisoner's neck. Gohan also broke the collar with ease. "You are now free, go with Remon, he will lead you out of this dreadful place." Gohan said.
The prisoner smiled at him. "Thank you."
The prisoner then went to the entrance of the tunnel and followed Remon back to the outside world.
Gohan refastened the restraints to his wrists and patiently waited for feeding hour for the prisoners. That would be the time that he would strike.
Several Hours Later
"Alright you bastards, here's your food, now eat it!" demanded a guard.
Gohan awoke from a somewhat peaceful slumber. He was startled when he felt a surge of pain in his right cheek. "Eat your food, you insolent dog." a guard said as he smacked Gohan across the face a second time.
Gohan noticed that there were only two guards in the room. Gohan decided now was the time to act. He easily broke the metal shackles that had been around his wrists. The two guards turned to see what the noise had been and what they saw terrified them. Before them Gohan stood, a ki ball in each hand. "Eat this." Gohan said as he through the ki balls towards the guards.
The guards scrambled in different directions for their lives. The ki balls hit one guard in the chest, the other guard was hit in the abdomen. Both ki balls went through the guards, instantly killing both before disintegrating into thin air. Gohan moved quickly, stripping one of the guards of his clothes and putting them on him. "I will be back to free you all." Gohan said as opened the door to go out of the room.
Gohan stepped outside the room and into a long narrow hallway. "Now to find Frieza." Gohan said as he ran down the hall.
"We're almost there." Remon said.
Gohan and Remon had been flying over the uninhabited desert like planet for about half an hour. A few minutes later Gohan could see the distant shape of a building. "There it is Gohan." Remon said, pointing to the tall dark structure looming ahead of them.
