Part Two: Chapter Eight: A Misplaced Link in the Chain of Time
"Ugh!" Gogeta did five backhand springs in order to escape the barrage of pink goo. "If I ever get the chance to put my hands around her neck-"
"Hey, I've got a plan," Gotenks told him. "You distract, we'll attack."
"Hmm…" Gogeta was clearly thinking this over. "No, you distract and I'll attack."
"Whatever!" Gotenks yelled. "Just figure something out!"
Gogeta nodded. "We vote for our plan."
"But we vote for our plan." Gotenks said.
"Well we're your fathers so therefore we win! HA!" Gogeta spit his tongue out at them.
"It's not fair!" Gotenks whined.
"Don't worry, someday you can do it to your kids." Gogeta told him. "Now go!"
"Hey, you…hag!" Gotenks yelled. "Yeah, you! You're a… a sorry disgrace for a Saiyan clone… thing!"
Sarah laughed. "Is this some kind of a joke? I'm *obviously* not falling for this stupid trick."
Gotenks growled. "Fatso!"
Sarah's eyes flared. "*What* did you just call me?"
Gotenks glanced at Gogeta. "No, no, no, no, no!!!"
"Yeah." Gotenks nodded. "That's right, you're a fatso!"
"No, don't go there…!"
"Come and get me, *fatso*!"
"You evil little…!" Sarah held out her hand and began to shoot at him. Gogeta sighed as Gotenks went running by.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! HURRY UP AND SHOOT HER!!!!!!!" Gotenks yelled. Gogeta rolled his eyes, went SS4, and then powered a Kamehameha Wave.
Gogeta let it rip and it hit Sarah from behind. The smoke cleared and she stood there, hands on her hips, unscathed. "Dang it!"
"Told you."
"Enough distracting!" Gotenks yelled as he flew at her.
"What?" Sarah turned only to see a fist before it collided with her face. She was sent flying into the ground, and Gotenks smirked.
"I don't normally beat up on girls but for you I'll make an exception." Sarah stood up in the huge crater, wiped the blood from her busted lip, and scowled.
"I'll show you a girl…!" Sarah turned into the pink goop, and the two fused forms swallowed.
"Uh-oh…"
*~*~*
Adrienne ran down the hall dressed in her orange pants and white tank top in search of her little sister. "Bra! Bra-a!"
"Adrienne, is that you?" Came Bra's voice. Adrienne smiled.
"Yeah, it's me." Adrienne walked into the kitchen to her left to find a cupboard opening, with Bra coming out of it.
"Nice to see you had time to change." Bra told her.
"Sorry, but I can't take you back yet." Adrienne told her.
"Why not?"
"You're good with computers, right?"
"Well, yeah, but you're better-"
"That doesn't matter." Adrienne told her. She grabbed Bra's arm and transported them to a computer room. "I have a plan."
*~*~*
"I can't believe this." Gogeta announced, shaking his head. Gogeta and Gotenks were looking at a clone of Majin Buu.
"We're in trouble!"
"Don't worry." The two turned around to see Aaron. "Your daughter has a plan."
"What!?" Gogeta demanded. Aaron disappeared.
"Come on, let's fight already!" Majin Buu demanded. Gogeta and Gotenks swung around to face him, already in their fighting poses.
"Fight formation 'twenty-four B'!" Gogeta yelled and jumped up as Gotenks dematerialized. Majin Buu grinned and jumped backwards as Gotenks came from his left side and Gogeta flew down at him. Gogeta collided into Gotenks and the two groaned after the smoke cleared and they sat up in their crater.
"Maybe something a bit easier?" Majin Buu transformed into Frieza. "No, too easy." Frieza changed into what they had hoped he wouldn't: Gotenks and Gogeta.
*~*~*
"Adrienne, do you really think this will work?" Bra asked. Adrienne nodded.
"I do, but-"
"Adrienne…" Adrienne froze. Not the voices! "Adrienne…!"
"Adrienne?" Bra turned around to find her unconscious. "Adrienne!"
*~*~*
"Adrienne, wake up! Adrienne!" Someone was shaking her gently.
"What…?" Adrienne opened her eyes to see Lisa. She smiled.
"Finally, you're awake!"
"What?" Adrienne sat up. "Where am I?"
"We don't have much time, so I can't tell you," Lisa told her. "But there's something you need to know before I…"
"Before you what?" Adrienne asked suspiciously.
"Please stop asking questions!" Lisa begged. "Now, you know how all of this started, right?"
"You mean when my grandpa- when Aaron came after my Dad?"
"Exactly." Lisa nodded. "He brought you out into the open without knowing, and the committee soon realized it was you. After Vegeta took you away from our experiments, we had taken Damienne in. We had read Ron's journal and his experiments had worked. So we sent Damienne down to get you, thinking she would be strong enough to, but soon found that she had stolen her father's journal."
"After that she didn't know what to believe. She saw herself as a misplaced link in the chain of time," Lisa told her. "So then she decided to carry out her father's wishes, and not our own. Do you remember how you first got here?"
*~*~*
Adrienne fell to her knees, gasping for air, and holding her stomach in pain. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was a pair of black sneakers.
*~*~*
Adrienne woke up to find she was laying on a queen-size bed in a huge room. Where was she? A man with short, black hair that stood on end entered the room and smiled at her. "So you're finally awake."
He wore a tight, three-quarter-length, dark green shirt with a pair of khaki pants held up by a brown belt. "Who are you? And where am I? You'd better-" Adrienne went to sit up when she jerked back down by her restraints. She was chained to the two bedposts on the left side. Adrienne growled. "I can break these, ya know…"
"Oh, I know." He nodded. He walked over to the bed and lay down next to her. "Little girl, do you know where you are?"
"No." Adrienne answered dully. And, personally, she didn't want to, either.
"You're at a Fortress on a planet billions of miles away from Earth. So if you wish to escape, I can guarantee you'd never make it." He smiled. "We like to call the Fortress 'Lisa's'…"
"What's your name?" Adrienne asked.
"Little girl, do you really want to know?"
"Yes." Adrienne scowled. "And stop calling me 'little girl'! I have a name, you know!"
"And it's a beautiful one," He told her. "I usually don't tell women my name until I've raped them five times, but for you, Adrienne, I'll make an exception. My name is David Luther and I want you, Adrienne."
Quicker than she could comprehend, David was on top of her, pinning her arms down to her side. Adrienne struggled to kick him off but it was extremely hard seeing as she was still chained to the post. The bedpost began to creak and she could hear the wood snapping.
She pulled harder on the post as David's hand ran down her side, then grabbed her tail. Adrienne gasped.
*~*~*
Adrienne quickly pushed the flashback out of her mind. "I'm sorry." Lisa told her. Adrienne swallowed. "I had sent David to weaken you, not rape you, but apparently that's his idea of fun…"
"Why did you want me?" Adrienne asked. Lisa smiled.
"We were planning on using your energy to bring back Vegetasei." Lisa shook her head. "The first time we tried you nearly died because you were too weak, and Vegeta refused to go on, but now you're strong enough. And you're still young enough for the program to work, too!"
"How could Sarah have retrieved me in the first place if she was in the tank in Ron's lab?" Adrienne inquired.
"The tank was an illusion," Lisa told her. "We transported Sarah there after the fans created a wind strong enough to blow the glass apart. Impressive operation, no?"
Adrienne stared at her. "Why do you want to tell me all this?"
Lisa sighed and turned around to face the opposite direction. "When Damienne was a little girl she used to create robots that looked and felt like humans, but were unable of any emotions." Lisa told her. "But once she got older she came up with robot that was able to feel emotions as it looked and felt real inside *and* out."
"The robot had what she called a 'cloning process', and it would absorb others to clone their power level and used the cloned power level to add onto it's," Lisa explained. "However there was one detail Damienne wouldn't tell me about…it can create 'The Devil'."
"Do you mean Sarah?" Adrienne asked.
"Whether you bring back Vegetasei or not," Lisa said. "Don't let her win."
*~*~*
Adrienne woke up and Bra sighed. "Thank Dende, I thought you were *dead*!"
Adrienne shook her head. "Come on, we have to carry out the plan." Adrienne told her.
"Let me do it."
"What?" Adrienne looked up to see Aaron leaning onto the back of her chair. "But, Aaron-"
"Go fight," Aaron told her. "You know you want to."
"But…" Adrienne stood up and walked over to the window. She glanced at Bra.
"You can trust me." Aaron told her with a nod. Adrienne sighed, nodded, and disappeared. "Alright, now, Bra, I need you to sit down over there for me."
"How do you know my name?" Bra asked.
"Please, Bra, sit down." Aaron told her. Bra nodded and sat down. "Now I hear you're fairly good with computers?"
"Uh, yeah…"
"Then I need you to help me crack the codes…" Aaron was already typing something in. "This is the hardest part, but it shouldn't take long."
"Why?" Bra asked obliviously.
"Because everything depends on us…"
"Don't worry," Aaron thought. "I'll save you."
*~*~*
Adrienne teleported into the room where Gotenks and Gogeta were fighting, only to be run into by them both. "Ow!" The three all fell over.
"Adrienne!?" The two fusions couldn't believe it! Didn't they tell her to stay home!?
"Yeah, it's me." Adrienne said with a slight growl.
"I thought you had a plan!" Gotenks exclaimed. "Shouldn't you be in the computer room!?"
"Aaron's taking care of it." Adrienne told him.
"Then go back up there with him!" Gogeta yelled.
"No!" Adrienne yelled back. Two blasts silenced the group and once the smoke cleared, the three of them were glaring at the Gotenks and Gogeta clones.
"Kill 'em." Gogeta said.
"My pleasure!" Adrienne told him. She blasted Gogeta with a powerful Ki blast, sending the Gogeta clone flying backwards. She flew up and punched the clone hard in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain. Adrienne smiled and swung her leg around, faster than he knew it, and he was flying towards the ground. Adrienne formed her hands together. "Kamehameha!"
The crater in which he had landed was now bigger because of the powerful wave of energy, but amazingly enough, he stood up. "What!?" The Gotenks clone came up beside her and kicked her into the floor.
"Adrienne!" Gotenks and Gogeta growled, then formed their hands together, but the clone's form suddenly began to static- both of them.
"What the!?" The two clones lit up and formed together and became Sarah again. Sarah looked at her hands in disbelief. "I'll get you, Aaron…" Sarah looked up at them. "Very well. I still have one trick up my sleeve: permanent documentation."
Sarah turned back into the goop as Gotenks and Gogeta braced themselves. The goop went flying past them and Gotenks swung around: "Adrienne!"
"Ugh!" Gogeta did five backhand springs in order to escape the barrage of pink goo. "If I ever get the chance to put my hands around her neck-"
"Hey, I've got a plan," Gotenks told him. "You distract, we'll attack."

Sarah laughed. "Is this some kind of a joke? I'm *obviously* not falling for this stupid trick."
Gotenks growled. "Fatso!"
Sarah's eyes flared. "*What* did you just call me?"
Gotenks glanced at Gogeta. "No, no, no, no, no!!!"
"Yeah." Gotenks nodded. "That's right, you're a fatso!"
"No, don't go there…!"
"Come and get me, *fatso*!"
"You evil little…!" Sarah held out her hand and began to shoot at him. Gogeta sighed as Gotenks went running by.
