Chapter 14
"RETALIATE"
"...And then Dad came and then...and then..." Goten stammered.
"Then she messed up Vegeta's motorcycle by shooting bullets threw it!" Trunks cut in and then shook his head worried, "when he gets back he's gonna put bullets throw ME!"
"Chi-chi's a bloody murderer!" Pwar exclaimed, then crossed her arms, "I never did like that cow."
Everyone began talking at once.
"Enough!" Bulma slammed her fist on the table and then rubbed her temples, "This is giving me a migraine."
"Sorry," everyone mumbled.
Goku suddenly glared at Yamcha, "You know Yamcha, she was pretty strong. You didn't happen to teach her anything all those years, did you?"
"Well erm..." Yamcha gulped.
Goku grabbed him by the neck and glared at him, "did you?!"
"Yeah..." Yamcha said nervously, "...just a little..."
"How much?" Goku winced choking Yamcha.
"Goku!" Bulma exclaimed, "Let him go!"
"Is she stronger than you now Yamcha?" Goku snarled, "She is, isn't she?"
Yamcha swallowed again and then nodded uneasily.
"Dammit," Goku let go of Yamcha, "this may be a little harder than I imagined."
"I don't see why we can't just kill her and get it over with," Gohan crossed his arms.
"Because," Goku looked down, "she's still your mother."
"Hmph," Gohan turned away, "I still don't see why would shouldn't just take her out! We're ten times stronger than her! We're acting like pussies I tell you!"
"Now Gohan," Bulma tried to calm him down.
"No Bulma, he's right. We should've been able to end this when we first heard." Goku stood up, "We end this tonight!"
"I wish you hadn't come," Goku barked as Bulma sat beside him on a park bench. Yamcha, Gohan, and Goten were all sitting nearby them.
"And why not?" Bulma glowered at him, even though it would be near impossible for him to see her facial expression in the dark.
Goku's hand suddenly shot behind Bulma's head as he grabbed something. He opened his tightened fist to show her a bullet, "That's why."
Bulma gulped.
Goku stood up and winced as he looked in the direction the bullet came from. Something shifted in the darkness and Gohan went at it. It then began to flee.
Goku appeared in front of it and it smashed right into his concrete body, falling to the ground.
"Damn you Goku!" a voice hissed from the suspect, it was Chi-chi.
Goku picked her up by the collar and glared at her.
"What are you staring at!?" She snapped.
"I'm trying to find any trace of a woman," Goku replied, "any explanation as to why I would even have liked you before."
Chi-chi gritted her teeth and shot Goku in the chest with her gun.
Goku clenched his teeth in pain, then a smirk formulated, "you're going to have to do better than that Chi-chi, if you really want to kill me."
"Yeah I know," Chi-chi fired up a quick ki blast and blasted Goku in the face. Goku stammered backwards temporary blinded as he let Chi-chi go.
"Dad!" Gohan and Goten yelled together and ran towards him.
"I don't think so," Chi-chi shot them both.
Gohan hit the ground holding his chest in pain, but Goten just clamped a hand over his arm and continued to run at her.
"Why won't you die?!" Chi-chi snarled blasting Goten back.
Bulma's lip trembled as she watched then she looked at Yamcha planted in one spot, white as a ghost. She picked up a rock and beamed him in the head, "Don't just stand there you coward! Help them!"
Yamcha rubbed his head and then watched as Chi-chi began to levitate powering up to outrageous lengths, her aura glowing a radioactive red.
"Sure I'll help," Yamcha backed up, "I'll help myself."
With that he ran off out of the park.
"You coward!" Bulma shouted as she stood up clenching her fists. She then mumbled, "C'mon, did I seriously think he'd stick around long enough to do something."
"And you," Chi-chi suddenly growled, Bulma immediately knew that she was the one being talked to. She turned to face Chi-chi.
"You think I ruined your life?! I destroyed your family," Chi-chi scowled at Bulma full of hatred, "Well you destroyed mine first!"
"What are you talking about," Bulma looked at her.
"It was ALWAYS about you," Chi-chi landed and stomped towards Bulma, "Bulma, Bulma, Bulma, Goku drove me insane with all his dribble about you! I wanted to start a real life; I was tired of being this heartless bitch! But because of YOU that would never happen!" She stopped in front of Bulma, "I destroyed your life? Well you destroyed my dreams of having a real life."
Bulma blinked dumbfounded at both the things Chi-chi was saying, and the sincerity in her voice. "Chi-chi...I..."
"SHUT UP!" Chi-chi shouted slamming Bulma against a tree with her power alone, "I refuse to listen! Besides," a devious grin appeared on Chi-chi's face as she generated a large ki blast in her hands, "you should savoir your last few moments, everyone deserves to die happy, even YOU."
Bulma swallowed nervously as she tried to come up with a plan. Suddenly, Goten ran at Chi-chi and rammed her in the side. Chi-chi was caught off guard, so she fell to the ground, the ki blast evaporating almost immediately.
"You little brat," Chi-chi snarled as she got up and dusted herself off, she quickly grabbed Goten around the neck and lifted him off the ground. Goten grabbed her hand gagging, trying to pull away.
"STOP IT!" Bulma grabbed Chi-chi's arm and tried desperately to save Goten.
"Leave me ALONE!" Chi-chi blasted Bulma back into the tree right before snapping Goten's neck.
Goten's struggling body went still, as his arms fell and his head rolled to the side.
"One down," Chi-chi dropped her dead son, "three to go."
Bulma kneeled beside Goten, tears pouring from her eyes, "GOTEN!"
Goku finally got his eyesight back and looked over to where he heard Bulma cry out. It was hard to make out what was going on in the darkness, but from Bulma's crying he quickly figured it out.
"NO!" He yelled and ran towards them, right before tripping over Gohan's body, "GOHAN!"
Bulma looked up at Chi-chi, she abhorred that woman at that moment, her lip trembled with rage as she flared, "Do you have any idea how much this boy loved you?! DO YOU?!"
Chi-chi remained in nonchalant silence.
"He hated me at first," Bulma thought back to the beginning as she held Goten, "and even when he didn't, he would never call me Mom. He believed that you'd come back and he didn't want to hurt you by calling someone else mom."
Chi-chi continued to stay silent.
"He knew you had abandoned him, but still," Bulma rubbed her eyes unable to go on.
"He was just a stupid boy," Chi-chi snapped, "stop crying you pathetic excuse for a woman."
Bulma stared at Chi-chi in utter shock, "how...how COULD you?"
Goku and Gohan came over. Once Goku saw Goten lying lifeless on the floor he went Super Saiyan, unable to hold back his rage.
"You..." her clenched his teeth, eyes darkened.
"GOTEN!" Gohan exclaimed running to his brother once he realized what had happened, he shook his brother desperately, "Get up...get up...please Goten...I-" he couldn't help but cry, "I don't wanna lose you too!"
"So why don't you join him," Chi-chi sneered shooting Gohan through the heart with an energy blast.
Gohan's eyes widened lifelessly as she fell backwards.
"Noooo!" Bulma screamed.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs, part of him wanted to hold him back, it was wrong to hit women. The other part of him wanted to kill her, shred her to pieces--this side was much bigger.
His power was so great his aura began to emit electric charges.
Chi-chi smirked, "I was hoping I'd be able to take you out before it came to this Goku."
Goku gritted his teeth and shot a ki blast at Chi-chi, to his surprise she stepped aside and dodged it.
"Tsk, tsk," she shook her finger at him mockingly, "you can do better than that Goku."
Goku growled and went at Chi-chi throwing random kicks and punches, Chi-chi dodged everyone.
"It isn't nice to hit a lady," Chi-chi smirked and Goku finally landed a punch in her stomach. Her eyes popped out as she dropped to the ground holding her stomach.
"I don't see a lady," Goku looked down at her with merciless eyes, "just a monster."
He prepared to kill her, but Bulma stopped him, "Please Goku! Don't! Don't kill her please Goku!"
"I have to Bulma," Goku snarled as Chi-chi looked at him helplessly.
"No you don't Goku!" Bulma tried to reason with him, "haven't we seen enough death tonight? Why must another person die, Goku? Why?"
"Because she's the reason for all our loss," Goku fired up a ki blast, "if you don't eliminate her she will destroy us."
Bulma shook her head and hugged Goku's arm trying to stop him, "Please Goku! You aren't yourself! Stop Goku, PLEASE!"
Goku ignored Bulma's pleas and got ready to strike.
That's when a voice silenced everything, "Have you learned nothing?"
"RETALIATE"
"...And then Dad came and then...and then..." Goten stammered.
"Then she messed up Vegeta's motorcycle by shooting bullets threw it!" Trunks cut in and then shook his head worried, "when he gets back he's gonna put bullets throw ME!"
