Chapter 3 ESCAPE! Six years later

Trunks and Goten supported Seeasa into a pod that would fit all three of them, barely. Seeasa had been injured in the fight against Freiza, who had decided to fight in this battle. Freiza had been badly wounded, and there was a call for a retreat. This was the perfect time to escape, but if Freiza caught them, then they would be dead for sure. So they could no go to Earth. Instead, they headed for a distant galaxy; so far out that Freiza thought no living beings were there. They, on the other hand, knew better. Seeasa had found a way to remove the newest type of collar and Trunks was now doing that to her still form. She needed the Regeneration tank, but she could live without it. The galaxy they spoke of did not have a name, rather a number, number, 8D8888. They launched into space, after leaving the collars behind and held their breaths. Hopefully, Freiza would die in the blast, if not, maybe they would get away quick enough for him not to find them, for a while anyway.

Vegeta was working out in the gravity machine, for once, doing more then he could handle. When the voice out of no where called to him, he was startled for a moment, and dropped to the ground like a ton of bricks. He stood slowly, turned off the machine, and looked around for the voice. "Vegeta!" It was King Ki. "What do you want! he scrowled. "Were holding a tournament in a far away galaxy, only the best fighters come. Very out of the way. Goku thinks that Trunks, Goten, and Seeasa might be there. It's a good place to look, if not, you could always fight." King Ki said. "All right, I'll get the Women." he barely had a second to speak before he was transported to a different planet. He didn't have a chance to search for his sons Ki because even with the dragon balls, they could not find him because the dragon could only reach so far. So they had decided that they were, in fact, alive, but to far away to detect their Ki. Piccolo soon dropped in, right on top of Vegeta, which is what cause him not to look for his son's Ki because he was busy battling the Namak. He only stopped when a space pod crashed near them. It was when the bodies started rolling out that he noticed them at all, but he could barely, they were suppressing their Ki so low it was like they weren't there. Before he even had a split chance of getting up from the crater he had formed when he fell down, before over two dozen men appeared out of no where and began putting the three, prone bodies on stretchers, and running away toward a building off to the east. Vegeta got up and tried to stop them, but he found that for some reason, sense he stood, he could not move a hand toward them. As a matter of fact, he found he was frozen. They soon ended up carrying him off as well. Seeasa was injured badly that she had to be put into a regeneration chamber immediately. Goten and Trunks had just got knocked around a few times too hard and were just sleeping. All of a sudden Freiza appeared, and looking quite peeved at something or another. He spotted the Z-gang, which had also suddenly appeared and tried to power up for an attack, he found that he could not. He decided to ignore them, as they soon spotted them, and headed toward where he felt Seeasa's mind, he was telepathic so he could feel her, and where she was, surely the other two would be, in less they were dead, which he highly doubted. The Z-gang was stunned to see Freiza walk around without trying to blow something up first. Wouldn't he at least look at them? When they tried to power up, they soon found that they could not. Obviously when Vegeta had arrived, it had been a short fluke in what ever was blocking them from fighting with Ki. Freiza walked off to where the three unknown teenagers were carried off, along with Vegeta.

Goten groaned, Trunks had been shaking him for the last few moments. "GET UP GOTEN!" he shouted, really close to his ear. Goten shot up. "What?" he cried, still confused. "FREIZA IS COMING!" That woke the Demi-Saiya-jin up quickly and peered around the room. The door suddenly opened and Freiza walked in. "Ah, so you three have been dragged here too? What a shock! Well, where is the other one? My brat?" he asked. Trunks pointed quickly too the chamber hooked into the wall. Seeasa had just been put in it not too long ago. Freiza realized this quickly, seeing as the chamber had not yet filled with the blue liquid. "You two, train, now, outside." Freiza pointed to the door, the two, scared Demi-Saiya-jins quickly ran out the door without a second thought. The first thing they noticed was the Z- senshi. Trunks and Goten gulped, knowing Freiza was near by, and started to train, ignoring the shocked looked on Goku's face as they ignored his pleading to speak to him. Freiza walked out, waving his hand at Goten and Trunks, as their collars appeared again on their necks, they two worked faster, although, for some reason, they could use their Ki. "They won't stop until I tell them too, or they drop from lack of energy, or I die." He said, with a growl. "Freiza! Prepare to die!" Vegeta yelled, powering up, he found he could use his Ki now, too, but when he launched his attack, big bang attack, some surround Freiza and it bounced lightly off to the side, killing about two hundred trees in the process. Freiza tried not too look too surprised when the attack failed and he was saved by some kind of shield. He hid it well. "You!" he barked to Goten. "Light Saiya-jin Boy! Fight him!" Goten gulped again, staring at his father with a regretful look. He tugged at his collar, seemingly to winch with pain when he did so. He stood in a fighting position, while Trunks trained alone as if Goten were still there with him. Goku gasped, "I will not fight my son!" Freiza just smirked, waved his hand, not using his Ki but his mental power, and Goten collar grew an aura of bright blue. Goten screamed in pain, then charged his father, throwing everything into his punch. Goku dodged it, but barely. Goten, falling to his knees, gasped for air, clutching the collar, then it stopped. Goten got up and charged his father again. Punch, kick, block, dive, kick punch, spin kick, round house kick, elbowed, punch, punch, kick, block, Ki ball, and Goku crashed into a tree. It all happened in a matter of seconds, and Freiza was lapping it. Trunks growled, and Freiza frowned. Trunks soon joined Goten on the ground, gasping in pain. All of a sudden, Trunks and Goten froze, so did Vegeta and Goku. Little men from before came and carried the four away, and anyone who interfered was stunned and carried away too. Soon, all but a few were still standing, that included Bulma, shocking I know, Chi-chi, who Gohan held her back, and even Freiza, who had just watched as they were dragged into the room with his brat. The door had been locked by some kind of field, as each person who was dropped off on separate bunk bed.

Seeasa opened her eyes slowly. The tank was draining and she felt like she wanted to die. Her head was pounding, as if she was coming out of the tank, way too early. She looked up to see a blue hared woman she barely recognized. She groaned when her brain started working against her will. She growled and oath, which shocked Bulma whose jaw, dropped somewhere around her feet. Pulling off the air mask and four wires connected to her forehead and chest, she growled another oath. Her head spun so much she almost passed out again. She shoved violently at the release button in the pod and it shot off, shocking Bulma further. Climbing out of the pod, she shoved the woman aside and picked up the pod door, shoving it in place, and headed for Trunks who was sleeping. She roughly slapped his face, waking him up quickly. ' Your mother got me out of the chamber too soon, I'm not all the way healed, I need some help.' Seeasa trailed off, Trunks knew how much it was costing her to ask for help, Freiza, who was in the corner, watching the exchange with a smirk. He looked pointedly at the blue hared annoyance. She glared back at him, and asked what was going on. The question was directed at Trunks, he looked at Bulma and was going to answer, when Freiza said. "Do not." So quietly, that Bulma didn't hear it. Trunks snapped his mouth shut, pulled at his collar. Seeasa noticed it, and felt around her own neck. Sure enough it was there. She glared at Freiza, which ended up with on her knees gasping for air. Trunks growled an oath too, Freiza didn't care if they cursed or not, and hauled Seeasa to her feet and back over to the chamber. Bulma was now shouting at them, and they tuned it out, it was too painful to hear, volume wise and mentally. Bulma was their friend and mother, it hurt to follow Freiza and not her. Seeasa sat in the chamber again as Trunks hooked her back up too it. Someone else had to do this because the injured person could hurt themselves doing it alone. Trunks worked quickly, 'I'll take first watch, I'll even get Goten up because we could use all the help we can get against Freiza, we have to figure out someway to talk to them without him knowing.' Freiza watched the exchange with amusement. He had long ago been blocked out of his daughters, and the boy's minds, but he could still tell when she was talking mentally, because she changed her face, it showed in her eyes actually. More emotions that she wasn't suppose to show. Freiza grinned evilly, then decided to make his move. "You, Dark Saiya-jin boy, get over her. Light Saiya-jin boy, wake up!" Freiza shot some power into the collar and Goten woke up quickly. Freiza peered at the two boys momentarily before looking at Trunks. "What did she say?" Trunks looked a bit taken aback, but answered with a quick lie. "She wanted to know who the lady was, I explained that I didn't know." They was a gasp from Bulma, "She also wanted to know what had happened, how we had landed on this planet. I explained that our pod had been shot down and we were brought here, Sir!" "Really? Well, now that I know that," Freiza knew very well the boy was lying, but right now he didn't have the power to hurt him without his Ki, so he let it slide, he would find out later. "Out side, 5433-54343454 trainee exercise now." Freiza had rattled off a longer number after the first, they boys paid rapped attention and when he was done with the long number, the boys walked outside, which was dark. They started the complicated exercise they had long ago memorized out of habit and because if they didn't, Freiza would have punished them. Piccolo, who had been watching them inside, followed them outside. Freiza knew if he fought, a real fight and not a spar like the two boys, then he would be stunned like the rest, so he figured Bulma and Chi-chi would be safe for now. He watched the boys fight for a while, and then he felt something prod at his mind 'Mr. Piccolo?'.

Seeasa had long ago learned to think and meditate while she was sleeping, she had also learned to guard her thoughts with great care. Freiza, she knew, knew when she used her telepathic abilities, so she had spent the last few moments blocking everything she could, not like she did with the boys, but stronger blocks. She knew he knew when she used her abilities, but this way, he wouldn't know who she would talk to, he would just assume that it would be the boys. She sent a message to the boys quickly, whom didn't falter with the exercise, and told them that if Freiza said she talked to them mentally, then make something up to what she said, she had heard the conversation between the boys and Freiza. She quickly ended the conversation and flew to find Piccolo's mind. 'Mr. Piccolo? Are you there' She asked, not quite sure his mind was blocked all the way, so she did it for him. She felt his shock in his voice when he asked, 'Seeasa? What are you doing?' he couldn't stop her, for some reason, she had a more powerful mind then he did. 'Blocking your mind from Him. Listen and listen closely, I haven't got long. He can tell when I use my mind to talk to others; he'll grill the boys soon, just listen. We need a way to talk to you guys, tell no one. Freiza is a lot more powerful then he lets on, a lot more then from before. He is also telepathic, like me. I know it's a lot to take in right now, but just listen. He will try to read minds, like he is doing now. Start mind blocking everyone, Bulma, Goku, Chi- chi and Vegeta are going to be blocked from their 'Mating bonds,' until later, when you all get off of this planet. Listen, really listen, Freiza, well, he is kinda my.Ugh' Freiza suddenly burst into her mind and she dropped the connection. Freiza roared so loudly that he blew up a bed accidentally with his mental powers. There were several loud BANGS and CLANGS, and a heavy body dropped to the ground, but the damage had been done. Seeasa now had to recover mentally as well as physically.

Piccolo ran into the room, surprised the two women had taken Freiza down with Frying Pans and looked at Seeasa, she was about to tell him something before he was cut off. Someone had forced his way into her mind and she had been damaged. She had to regain all of her mind blocks and that would take a little while, not that it mattered much, sense she was already out cold, really out of it. Both Trunks and Goten felt her leave their minds, and they, smart as they were, knew that without her in their minds, they couldn't talk to each other mentally. That would be a bit hard sense they both had mind blocks so Freiza couldn't use their memories against them during their training. He also couldn't make them forget. That made everything a bit more bearable. Piccolo kicked the limp form of Freiza out side and turned to the two boys, who quickly paled and ran back outside. Piccolo frowned and looked at the boys as they quickly finished off the exercise. "So he can't say we didn't do it." Was all Goten said, but said nothing more when Trunks elbowed him hard in his ribcage, "Are you just trying to get us killed?" Trunks whispered fiercely, pointing to Goten's collar, which started to glow. Goten gasped and then the pain ended. Goten nodded, getting the hint. Growled under his breath, addressing him self, muttering basted. Bulma frowned and hit him over the head with the frying pan, or tried to. "Don't say those words!" but Goten, much stronger then Bulma and able to use his Ki, ripped the frying pan out of her hands and crushed it in his hands, turning it into a shiny metal ball, before tossing it behind him. He glared at Bulma, unable to address her, so he addressed Trunks. "I really wish I could tell that Women to mind her own Business!" Trunks nodded, before he turned and sat next to Seeasa. They had long ago learned how to get around the mind blocks. Goten sent a pointed look at Bulma, then sat next to Trunks, talking to him, and trying to explain to the others at the same time. "To bad we can't talk to them, I'd give um a piece of my mind, that's for sure." "I know what ya mean, to bad we can't, because of these stupid collars that explode if you remove them the wrong way." "Too bad Seeasa only knows how to get them off, maybe when she wakes up, she can remove them." Trunks and Goten were looking at each other, knowing if they turned and directed their conversation at the few people in the room who were starting to wake up, they would likely be out cold by now. "Ya maybe, if that blasted women would leave her alone in the REGENERATION CHAMBER, she would get healed sometime today to do that." "Ya know," Trunks started, then he heard a small voice in his head. 'Good going Trunks, I'll be outta here soon, sorry, but you guys are gonna have to talk aloud, give me the convo.'s later' she asked, then left Trunks mind. "She'll be out in a few hours or so, according to what she said a few seconds ago. She said we'll have to talk aloud until she wakes up." Trunks said, knowing very well the Goten had heard too, but said it aloud, as if he hadn't heard. Goten nodded, catching on. "I wonder how were gonna get off this planet?" Goten asked, resuming their conversation. "Oh, you know very well, that we cannot return to Earth if we ever get away from him again. Seeasa was badly injured, it was seventy lashing last time, and that was when she figured the collars out. Hey, did you know that these are the same kinda collars they used on Prince Vegeta" Trunks said, getting an idea. "You know, my dad." Goten nodded. "When they tried to make Vegetable head a pet or something." Goten nodded. Bulma, out of the corner of their eyes, chuckled a bit, then gasped at what it meant. It was a hint to get Vegeta, and that Trunks still remembered them, and that he was lying to Freiza. They were still on their sides. "Ya know, I was wondering how, Kakarott is doing? You know, my father," Goten added, looking at Chi-chi after he had finished speaking. "The one that got hurt in the fight!" he said looking at Trunks as he spoke. They still catch on to the strange conversation. "You know, we might be able to get some answers to some questions, if they held their own conversation for us to overhear." Trunks said pointedly at Goten, who looked at Piccolo, who nodded. "I hear Goku's fine, along with Vegeta and the others, Chi-Chi, so don't worry about them." He said, looking at Chi-chi, who nodded at Bulma. "So, when is the tournament going to begin?" Bulma asked. Trunks asked Goten, interrupting them. "Have you heard of this Tournament?"

Goten shook his head. "No, I wonder who all is fighting, why we are here in the first place, who attacked our ship, and when the heck is that sister of ours is gonna wake up cause I'm hungry and she's the better cook!" Trunks frowned, then burst out laughing, though is sounded more like and evil cackle then anything else. "You always think about food. Now, I don't know about the other questions, maybe someone else might know, but we can't ask them now can we?" "Nope." "The tournament is for the strongest fighters in the universe, I heard Bulma, and I'm not sure, tomorrow I hope, that way we can get off this blasted planet, we found the three we were looking for, now we can take them home. I'm not sure who attacked that ship out their, but it must have been something strong to knock out three half Saiya-jins, even injured ones. And I think Seeasa is going to wake up in a few hours, are you hungry Goku?" Goku had just sat up and looked at Chi-chi. Chi-chi nodded; "I guess I can start to cook some fo." She was cut off when someone entered the bunkhouse that was assigned to them. "The lizard guy was placed somewhere else so he wouldn't cause many problems." Said the little man, who brought in lots of food. "Here is dinner, the tournament starts tomorrow, everyone will go back to their Respected planets when finished. Everyone." Said the little man. Goten jumped up, grabbed nine plates of food and wolfed it down, Trunks did the same and had seven glasses of water. Goten and Trunks, soon after they finished, dropped to their knees, clutching their collars. "Damn and Damnation!" They shouted together, climbing to their feet. They cursed again and rushed out the door, heading for a large hill. In their minds, they heard orders to train and not to say a word, not even to each other, mentally or mouth wise. Once on top of the hill, they were forced to train until dawn, Piccolo and the others who had woken up before Goku and were listening intently to the conversation at it played out, went out and trained too, even though they couldn't stop the boys training. Freiza watched from Afar to make sure that nothing went wrong. Goten and Trunks worked for hours. Freiza was called to battle in the Tournament and he shrugged his shoulders, muttering "why not, at least I can use my powers then." He, all though, told them to tell Seeasa when she gets out that day, to work on a lighter exercise, so she wouldn't kill herself before she fought. Seeasa indeed got out a few hours later, just as Freiza went into the ring. She did a short exercise, and then she talked with Piccolo, or tired too. When the boys finished, they ran over. "We gotta get outta here, now, while Freiza is still in the ring." They grabbed her and took off, Piccolo shouting in her mind to stop running, but they didn't listen. They reached their ship and began repairs immediately. It only took them a few moments to get the ship running, Seeasa typed furiously on the computer, giving instructions to the other two, sense she was the smarter of all three, but she wasn't the strongest, she gave the instructions. They quickly bent this ship back into order, and fixing the systems that were in disorder. "Hes done fighting, get in the ship, I'll work faster if I do it myself." Seeasa jumped out of the ship and pushed the other two in it. She went around to the back of the ship and pulled wires out and put them back in order, soon the engines were working. In perfect order, but it was too late. Piccolo was trying to get answers, Seeasa quickly sent instructions on how to remove the collars and on a last desperate act, shoved Piccolo, who was bending over the cock pit, inside the ship and slammed the doors shut. She mouthed sorry to them, as the ship too off, there was no way they could take it off autopilot without her password, which they would never get. It was her mother's maiden name, until they reached Kepttaken seven, their favorite planet besides Earth. And there was no way they could fix the ship without her help, or at least it would take a really long time. 'I'll hold him off until you get away, we'll see each other again.' Seeasa said before she cut the link from them to her, she kept there's open so they could chat back and forth, just not with her, not for a while, until she closed the link. Freiza came running toward her, her collar was already burning her neck. She was on her hands and knees gasping for air when he came and knees her in the stomach hard, causing the collar to stop burning and start stinging. Goku came to see what the crash was and dragged her away from Freiza before he could do any more damage. Suddenly Freiza dissappered. A little man came out and said, "He was causing too much trouble to handle with, you are next Son Goku." The man said. Goku dragged her still gasping body toward the bunkhouse they were using. Vegeta was sitting up and shouting at the blue hared lady. He stopped when Goku half dragged her inside. "What happened?" Bulma asked. "Freiza, what else?" he asked, sitting her down on the bed. She sat up; head between her legs until she could breath again. "Damn and Damnation." She grumbled, stumbling to her feet. "Wheres that damn Namak?" Vegeta questioned Goku, who was watching Seeasa with concern. "I don't know, a ship took off, maybe he was.What are you doing?" Seeasa was over at the pod, taking it apart, a little man came and collected Goku for his fight. Once she had the few pieces she needed to remove the damn collar, she got to work. When it fell from around her neck, she gasped for air as she kicked it away. It exploded because she pulled the wire wrong, but it came off none the less. She growled and put the pod back. "Piccolo is with Trunks and Goten, they are now off the planet and are on their way to safety." She addressed Vegeta. Vegeta blinked. "Freiza was planning to blow up the planet," she relayed her short conversation when Trunks and Goten came to get her. "So I had to get them off the planet, I wasn't about to leave their parents alone, but as soon as I get you to safety, I must leave, and you won't see me again." she said. "Why is that?" Vegeta asked, looking at Vegeta in the eye, she said, as if talking to a simple child. "Because Freiza can find me anytime he wants, he is Telepathic." "I've heard about telepathic people, why don't you just use mind blocks, like the Namak." Vegeta growled. "Your forgetting Vegetable Head, Telepathic people can easily blast their way through family member's blocks with certain passwords." "Well, then, whats the problem?" he asked, obviously not getting it. "Because, you Third Class Baka, He is my father!" She went back to working on the ship. "King Ki, get them off the planet now, Freiza is gonna blow it up after the Tournament, and I mean everybody. Warn the other Ki." 'Whats this? Freiza is there? Well, alright Seeasa, I trust you because you took care of Trunks and Goten.here we go.' "Wait, what do you." Vegeta dissappered and so did everybody else. Working on the chamber, she got into it quickly, turning it on. She yanked on an air mask as the planet rumbled. She searched for Ki's and found none, she quickly hit a button inside the chamber for emergency evacuation and it lifted off into space, she was asleep when the planet blew up.



Piccolo was pissed, no, pissed was putting it mildly, he was furious. He was stuck in a small, confined area with the two universal pranksters who were out cold. They had been traveling for almost two months now and no one had stirred. They were both, lightly snoring and had two cords coming from both arms. He didn't know what they were, both nether boy had hesitated when putting them on, they forced him to put them on too. He found it was easier to breathe and he somehow didn't need nourishment. It would be a long flight wherever they were going he would head right back to earth. Seeasa had tried to contact him, but he had blocked her out, now he could not find her mind anywhere. He wondered what had happened, but now he was getting tired.
