Chapter 8: The search starts, the search ends.
"How.how did you know that was going to be on the news?" Vegeta asked Holly, who was looking out towards the mountains again. "I don't know" She replied simply. "So what are we going to do guys?" Krillin asked. "Meet the new guy." Gohan said flatly. "The others will have probably heard about it. We'll just have to meet them there." They made their way outside. Vegeta went back to his room and got changed out of his tattered gi, while Trunks went upstairs to get his sword. All of them stood on the lawn of CC.
"Trunks," Bulma grabbed her son and hugged him. "be careful. I want you back." She bent down and kissed him on the cheek. Trunks groaned. "Don't worry Bulma. We'll take care of him." Krillin said hopefully. Gohan turned to Holly and bent down so they were eye to eye. "Holly, I want you to stay here." Holly looked at her brother in disbelief.
"No. I'm coming. I'm not staying behind this time." She said stubbornly. "Holly, you're not listening to me. You have to stay behind. It's too dangerous for you." "But your taking Trunks. I'm just as strong him and you know that!" Holly yelled. She'd had enough of being left behind, just because she was a girl. "You've got to stay. If anything happens to us-" "I'm coming whether you like it or not." "I didn't want it to have to come to this, but you leave me no choice." He had a serious look on his face. "Fine." A smirk came on to Holly's face and she turned around, ready for take off. Gohan knocked Holly out with a karate chop in the back of her neck. All of them, except Vegeta, looked at Gohan as if he had gone mad. He picked up his sister and carried her inside. He came out not long afterwards and turned to Bulma. "Please, try and stop her when she goes to follow us." He was practically begging Bulma. "Please, I don't want to see her get hurt." He added in a soft voice. "I'll do what I can." Bulma watched as the group began to fly slowly into the horizon. Trunks turned around and waved. Bulma waved back. "Be careful." She shouted after them. She kept waving until they were out of sight, sighed and walked inside. She saw Holly lying on the couch. "I wish you'd just listen to him just this once." She said.
*~*~*
"That was the only way she would've stayed behind." Gohan explained as they made their way towards Parsley Town. "It's too dangerous. We don't even know what's going on. I don't even know why I'm taking you." Gohan turned to Trunks. They sensed another power level approaching them from behind. It was Yumcha. "Hey Yumcha." Krillin greeted his friend. "Hey. I saw the news." Yumcah started. "Well duh." Vegeta muttered. Yumcha didn't hear Vegeta's remark, luckily. "Any idea who it is?" Yumcha flew up next to Gihan. "No idea. Who ever it is, they've got an enormous power level and I've got a feeling they don't want to have a tea party." Gohan said in a worried tone. *I hope we can handle it. Otherwise it'll all be up to Holly.*
*~*~*
Holly slowly opened her eyes. Her vision focused and she sat up on the couch, then she realised what had happened. Bulma walked into the lounge room. "You're finally awake." Bulma said cheerfully. "Are you hungry?" Bulma looked down at Holly, who was clenching her fists and her eyes were tightly shut, she was gritting her teeth as well. "No." Holly was mad and Bulma knew how she felt. "Holly. Just stay here." Bulma sat down next to Holly. "It's just not fair! They always leave me behind!" Holly said viscously. "I know how you feel." Bulma said sympathetically. "Whenever I went along with the guys, to a battle or something that involved fighting, they always left me in the dust. I always told them off afterwards though." "But this is different." Holly said desperately. "But the thing was, in your case, you wouldn't have made much of a difference, fighting wise, you would've just gotten in the way. I know I can help!" Holly stood up. "Holly sit down!" Bulma ordered. "They need you here. Just like you said to me, you'll just get in the guys ways if you follow them." Holly ignored Bulma's comment and walked out onto the balcony. She stood there for a couple of minutes, trying to stay calm, but was failing miserably. Bulma came up behind Holly and placed her hand on Holly's shoulder. She rubbed it gently and Holly flinched. *NO! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!* Holly pulled away form Bulma's grasp. "I'm going with them. Whether they like it or not." Holly powered up and took off.
"I tried Gohan, I really tried. Just look after yourself, Holly." Bulma said softly as she watched Holly disappear. *I'll catch up with them before anything happens.* She went to Super Saiyan and flew as fast as she could, towards Parsley Town.
*~*~*
The guys arrived over Parsley Town. "What was it? 15 miles due East?" Yumcha said, clearly confused. "No it was 20 miles due West." Gohan said. Vegeta didn't even bother to slow down, he just continued in the direction they were heading in. The rest of them just watched him, flying slowly away. *PING* Gohan turned around and saw Tien and Piccolo coming towards them. "Hey guys." Tien said. "I'm guessing you've got no clue who it is, right?" "Yep. Absolutely no clue." Krillin said flatly. Trunks looked at his watch.
"Hey guys," The group looked at him. "We'd better get going. There isn't that much time left. And we'll need to find her." "Right." They all said and took off after Vegeta.
*~*~*
Holly powered down as she saw Parsley Town in the distance. *The guys were just here.* She stopped and landed on the tallest building. She looked at her watch. *15 minutes left.* She pushed the compass button on the side of her watch and turned to face due West. *20 miles* she programmed her watch to go off when she was a mile away from the island. "Thanks Bulma. One of your more useful inventions." She hid her power level, as much as she could, and followed the same path the guys had taken a little while before.
*~*~*
Vegeta landed on the island, and looked around try and find who they were meant to meeting there. He saw no one, except the rest of the Z-gang who had just landed beside him. "We've still got 2 minutes." Gohan said. None of them could sense any other power levels, other than their own. "We should split up. That way we'll be able to find who were meant to be meeting." Tien said. He looked at Gohan for approval. He nodded. Tien walked off with Yumcha. "I'll go with you, Trunks." Trunks and Gohan went in the opposite direction of Tien and Yumcha. *Great. I'm stuck with the Namek and Baldy.* Vegeta complained to himself. Piccolo rose up into the air and scanned the surrounding area.
*Who ever it is, they must be very good at hiding. I can't see or sense any one.* Piccolo moved off it a different direction. *There is absolutely NO way I'm sticking with Baldy.* Vegeta turned around and went to scan a small rocky area. *How come I always end up by myself?* Krillin stood there for a couple of seconds, then a breeze blew up and dust was blown into Krillin's eyes. He rubbed them, but couldn't get the sand out. He rose up into the air and not far off he saw a lake. *Good. I can wash my eyes out over at that lake.* He landed by the edge of the lake. He heard music on the breeze, but didn't take any notice of it. He bent down, cupped his hands in the water and splashed the water on his face. The music grew louder. He stood up and looked around the lake's shore. All he saw was a single tree on the opposite bank he was standing on. Then he spotted her. A beautiful girl with metallic pale blue skin, waist length silvery white hair loosely tied back and wearing what looked like a swimming costume, in a pale metallic purple and matching knee high boots. She was playing a clear flute. Krillin blushed. "Wow." The girl had enchanted Krillin, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He was just staring blankly at her when the others had found him. "Krillin?" Trunks waved his hand in front of Krillin's face, but Krillin just kept staring. "What are you looking at?" Trunks turned around and looked into the tree, and the others did the same. All of them noticed the girl. "is THAT who we're meant to be meeting?" Vegeta asked, with a hint of surprise in his voice. The girl finished her song and put the flute into the back of her boot. She jumped down from the tree and landed n the shallow edge of the lake, but when she landed something very strange happened. The water froze beneath her feet. Krillin snapped out of his trance and gasped along with the rest of the group. She walked across the lake, making a meter wide path across the lake. She stopped when she was ¾ across the lake. "Where is the last member of Earth's special forces?" The girl gave Gohan a piercing look with her frosted pink eyes. *How did she know about Holly?* Gohan didn't think any one, other than his friends, knew about his little sister. Holly landed behind the group. "Ahhh." She said, satisfied that the whole of ESF was standing there in front of her. "I've heard so much about you." The girl said with a slight smirk and a creepy looking glint in her eye. Gohan turned and looked at Holly. "I need to talk with her. It'll just take a sec." Gohan grabbed Holly's arm and tugged Holly away from the rest of them. He was worried. "I told you to stay behind." He said calmly. "We don't know what we're up against here." Holly's look made Gohan fall silent. "Like I said before, you weren't going to leave me behind this time. You need all the help you can get." She paused and looked into his eyes. "And you know that." "Just promise me one thing. You'll get out of here if things get dicey." She looked at him with a serious look on her face and nodded. They went back to join the rest of the group. "You know us, but we don't know you. Would you care to enlighten us in telling us who the hell you are and why the hell you're here?" Vegeta was getting pissed with all the time that they were wasting. "My name is Glacier. You would have already met my Father, King Cold, and my brother Frieza. Unfortunately for you, compared to me, Frieza's power is nothing compared to mine." Glacier's eyes flashed with hatred as she looked upon the Z-gang. "I have came here to destroy the people responsible for killing my family, you, and to continue where my brother left off. I'll give you 3 attempts, well battles really, to try and beat me. If you don't beat me on the third attempt," She put on an extremely evil smirk and a mad glint appeared in her eyes. "I'll blow this planet to smithereens. All of the Z-gang members were clenching their fists in rage. "So, who's going to be the first to die?" Glacier said cheerfully. Yumcha and Tien powered up and lunged at Glacier.
What's going to happen next. Stay tuned for the next chapter of Unleash the Dragon! Wow. I got carried away. Oh well! Did you like that chapter? Ne way can u please leave a review b4 u leave. Thanx! ^o^
