Chapter 3: The fight begins.

Gohan came to his senses. He let go of Bulma's arm and stood up. "Well," He started. "You should be petrified." He said in a cold voice. He lifted his right arm and pointed his index finger at them. And slowly, but surely, an energy ball began to from. It began to grow slowly. It grew to the size of a basketball, then stopped. Frieza began to cackle evilly. The energy ball moved away from it's creators finger and made it's way slowly towards Bulma. Frieza was loving every minute of this. So far Frieza's hand had been relaxed, but it was growing tense. Then it happened in a blink of an eye. Everyone but Bulma could see what had happened. Frieza released the Death Ball right at Bulma's heart, but before it even got close, she was saved by the most unlikely person. Vegeta had stepped in and deflected the attack. Vegeta just stood there, as if he was trying to protect Bulma. He glared down at Frieza and before anyone of them could move, Vegeta and Frieza lunged at each other. The fight was furiously fast, all they could do was watch (in awe), as they tried to pulverize each other into oblivion.

"Gohan. Get outa here!" Piccolo yelled to Gohan. Both Vegeta and Frieza took to the air. Vegeta was guiding Frieza away from the others. Gohan practically picked Bulma up and put her into the jet. By then she realised what was going on. She started the engine and just stared behind Gohan. He turned around and saw yen of Frieza's men. They were huge. They all stared down on Gohan with smirks on their faces. Gohan took his fighting stance and the group laughed at him. "What you gonna do shrimp? Call your mummy?" One of them said. They all laughed again. Gohan gritted his teeth. The one who made the joke, was hiding behind one of his mates. He was still mocking the semi Saiyan. "Mummy, mummy. Make the bad men go away." He was putting on a little girlie voice. He stood up and moved towards Gohan. He bent down to face Gohan, eye to eye. "Awww. Am I getting on your nerves kid? Well don't worry. I won't tease you any longer. Frieza will deal with-" But he couldn't finish. Especially since Gohan had planted a well aimed, and strong, punch in the guy's gut. Gohan stepped aside as the enemy clutched his stomach and fell to his knees. Gohan was just standing therewith his fists clenched. The enemy on his knees coughed, but before he could do anything else, Gohan put a Karate Chop in the back of his neck and fell face first into the dusty ground. The rest of the group were shocked, and a little scared, at first but then they glared at Gohan. Gohan wasn't bothering to look at their faces. Then without a warning, they attacked.

~* @ the ship*~ "Hmmmmmm. This is becoming a bore." King Cold was still standing at the entrance. "Frieza shouldn't have any trouble with this puny lot." With this, King Cold walked into the ship, and back to his throne. He ordered one of his servants to open the shutters so he could watch the fight. He poured himself a glass of Sherry and took a sip from it.



~* Back with Bulma*~ Bulma was watching the fight and all she saw was, well, nothing. Gohan and his opponents were moving so fast that they couldn't be seen, so she had no clue who was winning. Massive Explosion Bulma looked to her right and saw Frieza floating in the air, looking down at the destruction he had created. There used to be a mini mountain where he was looking. Now it was just a massive pile of rubble. Which Vegeta was under. *Oh no! Vegeta!* Bulma didn't even realise that she was concerned about Vegeta. THUMP Bulma screamed. Luckily the hatch was closed. Otherwise a full alien fighter would have hit Bulma in the face. She sat there in shock for a moment as the figure slid down the glass, leaving a streak of blood. She came to her senses and cleaned the windscreen. She could see outside again and so much had happened in those few minutes. Gohan only had two of the ten opponent left. But not all of the good guys were as fortunate as Gohan.

~*On the other side of the Battlefield*~ Fists were flying. Piccolo, Yumcha, Tien and Krillin were fighting for the lives of innocent people . Virtually all of Frieza's army was up against the four Z-fighters. It was all out war and Frieza's men were dropping like flies. Then Frieza's men suddenly backed off. Yumcha was struggling to his feet. Tien saw this and helped him to his feet. "You ok buddy?" Yumcha put his arm around the back of Tien's neck and slowly stood up. He was leaning heavily on Tien. He and Krillin were the worst injured. Krillin had a long, deep, cut, stretching from his shoulder to his elbow, on his left arm. It was bleeding heavily. "The battles over." Piccolo said to the others. "Vegeta's out for the count." "What?" Krillin was clutching the wound with part of his Gi. "Vegeta's power level is very faint. He won't be able to fight again today."

"That's just great, isn't it." Yumcha said. "Without Vegeta we don't have a chance." "Well, that really boosts our spirits, now doesn't it?" Krillin's voice was full of sarcasm. "Could you possibly be any more negative?" Yumcha glared at Krillin. Piccolo looked over to where the jet was, and saw it still sitting there. He saw Gohan put a Kamehameha through the last of his opponents. *Gohan. Get out of here, NOW* Piccolo told Gohan through their telepathic bond thing they have. Gohan looked to where the rest of the Z-gang were, made eye contact with Piccolo and nodded. He turned back to Bulma. The engine was still running. Bulma looked at him and he gave the thumbs up. The engine began to roar and the jet gained height. *Get her at least out of sight.* Bulma was powering up the turbo boosters. *So far so good* Gohan thought as he began to float up slowly, he stopped when he was at the same height as Bulma. She tapped on the glass to get Gohan attention. When he eventually looked, Bulma waved to him and gave him a small smile. *Gohan. Go back with Bulma. Make sure she gets back safely* He didn't say this but kept it to himself. *I just don't want to see him get hurt.* *No. What if you need me?* *You won't be much use dead* *But-* *No Gohan. Just make sure she gets back.* Gohan was mad at himself, why? Because he knew Piccolo was right. Even if he didn't like it, he knew he was right. He turned to face Bulma, and gave her a small smile. The jet turned around slowly, that's when a horrible feeling hit Gohan. He turned to look back at where his friends were, and saw thing he could imagine. He heard two a yells of pain. Gohan looked down, only to see Frieza standing in front of the lifeless bodies of Yumcha and Tien. *Gohan. Go NOW! While Frieza's distracted.* Bulma was still there. She was waiting for Gohan. He nodded. Bulma took off, but Gohan didn't go with her. He was frozen in mid air. Another of his friends power level's had fallen dangerously low.

Would that be called a cliffy? Ne way I hope you enjoyed that. I know I enjoyed writing it. Please leave a review before you leave.
