Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or any of the characters affiliated
with it. I do own Cheena however..yeah I know.. I'm so lucky to have her
in my stories.
Author's Note: I said I would update every weekend but I left something else out. I will also try to update 2 times every weekend. So either expect one chapter or two. Sound's great, huh? Well here's chapter 23! Enjoy!
Cheena looked on as the person walked closer to her. "Vegeta, you're here! Wait..where is my dad?" she asked as she looked at him. Vegeta walked towards Cheena until he was a few feet away from her. "Get out of her here runt!" he said. Cheena squinted her eyebrows as she ran over to Vegeta and grabbed his waist. "Where is my dad? What did you do to him?" Cheena yelled. "Let go of me runt and get out of here" Vegeta said. "Answer me! What did you do to my dad?" she asked again. "That baka father or yours is fine now get out of here" Vegeta said as he took Cheena's hands off of his waist. "Did he go back to the other world?" asked Cheena. "Runt get out of here! I will take care of Buu!" Vegeta said as he looked down at Cheena. "No I will take care of him. Look what he did to Gohan! He killed him! Look at him!' Cheena yelled as she looked at her brother laying beside her. Vegeta's gaze fell down to Gohan then over to Cheena. Slowly he walked over and bent down near Gohan. "What are you doing Vegeta?" Cheena asked. "Quiet!" Vegeta bellowed as he gazed at Gohan. Carefully he picked Gohan up and stood up. "What are you doing?" Cheena asked as she looked at Vegeta and her brother. Remaining quiet, Vegeta walked over to a small area full of small animals and grass. Carefully he laid Gohan down and stood up. Cheena quickly ran over to Vegeta and knelt down near Gohan. "Stay with him and out of my way" Vegeta said as he turned to leave. "Vegeta, please let me help! I won't get in the way I promise but I want to defeat Buu. I can help you!" Cheena said as she stood up behind Vegeta. Vegeta turned his head to the side as he looked at Cheena through the corner of his eyes. Slowly he turned his head and started to walk away. Frustrated Cheena darted in front of Vegeta and folded her hands across her chest. "Let me help you! Two fighters are better then one!' she yelled as she looked up at him. Vegeta looked down at Cheena as he roughly grabbed her by the shirt and lifted her up so she was looking into his eyes. "This is the last time I'm telling you this! Stay here and out of my way before I make you wish you listened to me the first time" Vegeta yelled as he tossed Cheena to the side. Landing on her hands and knees, Cheena looked back at Vegeta as he started to walk away from her and Gohan. Cheena looked at Gohan as she crawled over to him. She looked at him as she placed her left hand on his face. "You wouldn't let Vegeta take on Buu alone so I won't either. You would go and fight right beside him and that's what I will do when the time is right..and when Vegeta's not looking. It's my fault you're like this so I have to fix it. Don't worry Gohan I'm here for you!" Cheena said as she leaned in and gave her brother a kiss on the check. Slowly she stood up and looked in the direction Vegeta walked in. "Dad, I don't know what happened to you but I won't let you down. I'll help out anyway I can" said Cheena as she started to walk in the direction Vegeta went.
Vegeta was face to face with Buu as Cheena watched in the distance. "If you need help, I'm here for you Vegeta" she said as she watched. Just then Cheena felt 2 familiar power levels. "Goten? Trunks?" Cheena said as she looked around her. Her eyes fell over to the top of a cliff where she saw her brother and friend peeking over the edge. "What are they doing here?" Cheena asked as she looked at them. Deciding she had to know, Cheena flew low towards the cliff. Goten and Trunks were just watching Vegeta and Buu when Cheena came up behind them. Softly she touched their shoulders causing them to jump. "Sorry!" she said with a smile on her face. "Don't do that!" Trunks and Goten yelled together. "What are you two doing here?" Cheena asked as she looked at them. "We heard from Videl that there was a monster and a wizard here so we came to see it. What are you doing here?" asked Trunks. Cheena just looked at him as she tried to decide what she was going to say. "I..um..came to see too!' she said quickly. "Where's Gohan and dad?" asked Goten. "Don't know!' Cheena said quickly. *They don't need to know everything* Cheena said to herself. "Is that the monster? My dad will destroy him!" Trunks said as he looked over at his father and Buu. "Listen, maybe you two should get out of here! I think Vegeta can take care of this himself and besides you might get in the way" Cheena said as she looked back and forth between Goten and Trunks. "Why should we leave? What about you? Who said you could stay?" snapped Trunks. "Yeah! I want to stay too!" whined Goten. Cheena rolled her eyes as she looked at the two of them. "Hey what's that?" asked Trunks. Cheena followed his gaze to the two statues of Piccolo and Krillian. "I forgot about them!" Cheena said as she ran over to the statues. "Who made them? They look so real!" Goten said as he and Trunks followed Cheena towards the statues. Cheena placed her hand on the statue of Piccolo and just looked at it. "Wow!' said Trunks as he placed his hand on it as well. "Be careful!" Cheena yelled as she looked him. "Who are you? My mother?" Trunks snapped as he tapped the statue. Suddenly the statue started to shake and fall forward. "LOOK OUT!" Goten yelled as he moved out of the way. Everyone moved as the statue hit the ground. "Trunks, see what you did!" Cheena yelled as she looked at Trunks. "It was an accident!" Trunks quickly said as he looked at the broken pieces. Cheena was about to yell at Trunks some more when Goten cut her off. "Look!' he said as he pointed in front of him. Trunks and Cheena looked to see the rubble of rocks shake and start to move together.
"What's going on?" Trunks said as he looked at the pieces moving together. "I..I don't know!" Cheena said as she looked on. Suddenly all of the pieces moved together and the statue morphed into Piccolo himself. Trunks and Goten was shocked but Cheena was just happy. She ran over to Piccolo and grabbed his pants leg. "Piccolo, your ok!" she said. Piccolo looked at his hands then down to Cheena. "What's going on?" he asked. Cheena started to laugh as she looked at Piccolo. "Where is everyone?" Piccolo asked. "We don't know! We just got here!" said Trunks. Cheena looked over at the statue of Krillian. "We have to help Krillian!" she said as she ran over to the statue and knocked it over. Just as the statue of Piccolo did, Krillian's statue hit the ground then pulled back together and morphed back into the real Krillian. "Krillian!" Cheena said as she looked at him. Krillian looked around at everyone before stopping at Piccolo. "What's going on?" he asked. "I don't know!" Piccolo said. "My dad is about to fight the monster!" said Trunks. Krillian and Piccolo looked to see Vegeta and Buu on the field. "Where is Goku and Gohan?" Piccolo asked. Cheena looked down at the ground as she heard her father and brother's name. "I don't know what happened to dad or Gohan" Goten said. Cheena looked at her brother then over to the spot where Gohan laid. "Gohan! I'm sorry!" Cheena said low. Piccolo heard what Cheena said and looked at her. "Cheena, what's going on?" Piccolo asked. "I don't know!" Cheena said quickly. "You do know! Where is Goku and Gohan?" demanded Piccolo. "I don't know where dad is and Gohan.." Cheena started as she looked at Piccolo. Piccolo just growled as he looked at Cheena. Just then Vegeta said low to himself " Gohan is dead!" in which Piccolo heard him. "Gohan!" Piccolo said to himself. Cheena looked at him and the expression on his face. *He knows!* she said as she looked down at the ground. "Dad's about to fight!" Trunks yelled grabbing everyone's attention. Cheena watched on as Vegeta gave Buu everything he had but he wasn't having any luck. Suddenly Buu unleashed some sort of bubble gum substance and wrapped Vegeta up in it. "DAD!" Trunks yelled as he watched on. *No, I have to do something* Cheena said as she looked at the scene before her. Deciding he had to help, Trunks transformed into a Super Sayain and flew off. "Trunks, come back!" Piccolo yelled as he watched him go. "Trunks wait for me!" Goten yelled as he transformed and almost flew after Trunks but Piccolo grabbed his arm. "Hey let go!" Goten yelled. "Goten don't do it!" Piccolo said. "Let me go! Trunks needs my help! If I was Gohan I bet you'd let me go." Startled by what Goten said, Piccolo let him go and watched him fly away. Cheena looked at her brother then at Piccolo. "Sorry Piccolo!" Cheena said as she also transformed and flew off after Trunks and Goten to help Vegeta.
