Chapter Five- Hostages
Everyone was silent, staring at the girl whom Mirai Trunks had in his grasp.
"Who were you sent to kill?" Mirai Trunks hissed.
Andréa remained quiet.
"Tell me!" Mirai Trunks shouted. "How were you sent to kill and by who?"
"That is none of your business," Andréa answered quietly. "What I do is my business until I have killed one of your friends."
"Since you won't be getting a chance to do that, tell us who the hell you were sent to kill!" Vegeta snarled.
Andréa closed her eyes, and smirked for a moment.
"Trunks!" Krillin suddenly yelled, as Andréa lifted her feet against the wall and brought her body's weight slamming against Trunks, who went flying.
Andréa had little time to react, but she knew her master would not allow her to return without at least taking someone hostage. Hey eyes scanned the room, as she brought out the whip that was at her pant's waist.
'There.'
Andréa smiled as she saw her target, standing wide open, and far away from the others.
Her whip lashed out and spun around Gohan's feet, to his neck, until he fell.
"Good-bye!" Andréa yelled, as she ran to the nearest window, her whip containing Gohan following neatly behind her.
"DAD!" Gohan screamed as the whip cut into his flesh, and bled.
"GOHAN!" Goku yelled, as he ran after Andréa who was already hurrying back to her ship.
Andréa paused for a moment, turning to Goku.
"You want to see your son alive again? If you're still alive in a week come to the planet Zico!" Andréa smirked at Goku, before flying off.
"NO!" Goku screamed into the air, powering up to super sayian. "Gohan!"
************
A wave of disbelief rocked the Z gang as they realized that Gohan was gone.
"I'll get to work on a spaceship," Bulma whispered quietly, after Vegeta had announced that he knew where the planet Zico was.
The rest of that day, everyone was silent, but trained steadily as Bulma worked on a spaceship.
*************
Andréa arrived, scared out of her mind back at her master's present location. Gohan whimpered and she glared at him, but made no threats.
Andréa walked briskly inside and towards her master's chambers, leaving Gohan in her ship.
"Master…" Andréa murmured bowing on one knee. "I have returned."
"Have you done what I commanded?" the cold voice questioned.
"Master, please. There were more then even I could handle." Andréa pleaded.
"Did you manage to do anything at all? Or did you just pull your sorry hide out of there as soon as possible?" the voice roared at her.
Andréa flinched.
"Master, I managed to maintain a hostage."
Her master relaxed.
"Very well then. Your life will be spared… however… You will be tortured, and someone else will finish out the new plan."
"Yes master…" Andréa sighed, but slightly worried at who would be replacing her.
Then she saw the shadows of the four, and shut her eyes.
"These will be your torturers, and then they will go and retrieve our guest…"
Gohan winced as he heard Andréa's yells ring across the walls.
**************
That night Vegeta, raced across the sea, and rested at a tiny place he had found upon first arriving at Earth. It was desolate place, long since by mankind. However, because of this it was a beautiful and enchanting place. Vegeta stared into the night and thought of the trespassed who attacked them this morning.
Suddenly however a hand grabbed his mouth. Vegeta struggled against his captor, but they wouldn't release.
"Keep him quiet." A voice hissed. "If his friends come, then we will have to postpone this until later."
Vegeta struggled harder, and then tired to turn Super Saiyan, but he felt two more people join in holding him down, and suddenly he felt as though there was a damper on his mind.
He couldn't think straight.
He couldn't find his Saiyan powers.
He couldn't picture Bulma's mind.
And he blacked out.
**********
When Vegeta awoke he felt groggy, but his mind quickly sharpened, when he recognized the face in front of him.
"Welcome home Vegeta."
"Frieza…"
Frieza smiled his cold smile at Vegeta.
"Aren't you glad to see me Vegeta? After all I was like a second father to you, and since your father is…" Frieza broke off laughing.
"Let me go you monster!" Vegeta screamed as he struggled against his bindings.
But pain shot through all his muscles as energy was yanked out of his body.
"I wouldn't do that anymore if I were you." Frieza warned.
"What do you want Frieza?!" Vegeta yelled.
"I want the Saiyan race." Frieza explained. "And you're going to help me Vegeta."
"Never!" Vegeta hissed.
"You haven't even heard my proposal yet." Frieza smirked. "The remaining Saiyans are much more powerful then I bargained for… And it seems that I can't outright kill them or capture them all at once. The fighters I sent out there can't seem to remember where I sent them. "
Something suddenly dawned on Vegeta's memory.
"What are you doing?" Vegeta asked leaning over Bulma's shoulder.
"It's a cloaking device," Bulma explained. "If someone should attack the Earth, and leave, they will have no memory of it."
"How does it work?" Vegeta questioned.
"I just have to get Goku to put it up near the planet, and it will emit a ray toying with the attacker's memory."
"How does it target the right person?"
"You'd be surprised how you can toy with impure hearts." Bulma had whispered into Vegeta's ear.
"And I'm doubting that you forgot the planet you've been on. " Frieza smirked coldly. "I want you to tell me where the others are, and I want the dead or on my side."
"Why do you think that I would join you Frieza?" Vegeta growled.
"Because you're like me, Vegeta. Don't deny it. All Saiyans are or rather were. They have a thirst for blood. And until you tell me where I can find other Saiyan blood, I'll just have to spill your blood."
