Vegeta kidnaps Goten Part 3

"I'm certain you will find him, Gohan, he always shows up sooner or later." Mr. Popo poured Gohan another cup of brew. Gohan just stared at it. Where the heck was he? "Yeah, I know. But still Goten is just a little kid. I bet he got mad and ran away because I took so long to catch that fish." Dende came walking in with his staff, "Gohan I sensed a negative energy source from someplace, but I can't really say exactly where it is." Gohan stood up suddenly causing Mr. Popo to fall backward. "What about Goten!? Is he alive? -Oh- sorry Mr. Popo." "Yes Goten is alive but there is an energy source that seems curiously like vegeta's." Gohan's expression grew dark, "Vegeta, I knew he couldn't stay good for long. Hey thanks a lot guys. I'm heading for Bulma's. I'll be back." He flew off leaving the two alone. "oh my. Goten gone." Dende nodded nervously, "yes. But why would Vegeta want to kidnap him. I mean, if it was him in the first place." he walked back to the same spot where kami would brood over the earth's troubles. "I do worry about Gohan though. He's not as strong as he used to be, and to anger Vegeta would be fatal." something hit Dende right there, "what?! That can't be right."



Gohan arrived at bulma's house. Vegeta had done some crazy things before, but this? He walked up to the door when Vegeta and Trunks walked through, "aaaaaaah!" trunks and Gohan yelled together in surprise. Vegeta scowled, "what do you want?" " Oh Vegeta you're here, I mean, hi." Vegeta glared at him, "so? Is that all you want after coming all this way? Aren't you supposed to be studying for a test or whatever?" "Uuh, no I." "Well speak up! I don't have all day!" Trunks spoke up, "hey! I know! You wanted to come with us to the park right?" Gohan looked down, " well, no. Not exactly. I really came to uuh, see your mother." Trunks looked disappointed, "oh." Gohan looked back at Vegeta, " do you know where she is, by the way?" he scowled again and looked away haughtily, "why? Am I supposed to know what that silly no good female does all day?" Gohan blinked, "well I thought you would know where she is, vegeta. I mean you're her hus-" Vegeta's face snapped back towards gohan's, "YOU THINK I WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS?! YOU THINK I WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT MARRYING THAT-" " ahh, no-no of course not. I mean you're way too good for her. It's just that when you had a son with her I thought, naturally, you were engag-" Vegeta's rage grew stronger, "I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING!!!" He beckoned to trunks and left leaving Gohan just standing there, "well that's vegeta. Always acting like-eeeep!" The door swung open, "ALRIGHT, YOU! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT YELLING EVERYWHERE?! I- Oh hi Gohan I didn't know you were out here. I was wondering what had gotten into vegeta all of a sudden. I thought he was yelling at trunks for something. You know how he is." Gohan settled down. Geez getting yelled at three times in a row was-" I mean, the guys cool and all and those muscles! Oh gosh those strong burly muscles." she trailed off talking about that one night and Gohan, who, at the moment, didn't want to listen to that, stopped her, " uuh Bulma. I don't mean to be rude and all but could we talk?"

Later. "So goten's gone, huh? That's weird. I bet Chi-chi was upset." Gohan nodded, "yeah, and she said not to come back until I found him. So I stayed at Korwin's." Bulma nodded, "yeah I know how she is. Geez that woman just doesn't let up does she? I don't blame goten for being gone." Gohan nodded again and then finally said, "well when I was up at Kami's, uhm, I mean, Dende's. He said that he could sense a negative energy near where Goten was. And he also mentioned that the energy source felt strangely like Vegeta's. Bulma stopped drinking her tea for a second then slowly put it down, "Gohan? Are you saying you think vegeta-" "I know it sounds weird," Gohan said quickly attempting to avoid another tongue-lashing, "but it's a possibility." Bulma regarded it for a moment then said, " look, I know that you two aren't the very best of friends, and your father never did get along with him very well, but there's no reason to be pointing fingers." Gohan stood up, "well I guess you're right. And if it was vegeta he wouldn't be with trunks at the park. Well thanks." He walked out the door. Maybe he would go to the park.



Goten opened his eyes. He was in the middle of a really big crater and his clothes were rather torn. He was aching all over. That was one heck of a blast...
