Chapter 6
The New Foes
The Z Senchi are in Trouble!
Gokou had never been sick in his life nor being helpless and now he was both, he could only watched in horror as the immense ki blast approaching without being able to move, his heart was hurting it was like thousand of tiny little blades were transpiercing it. Was it the end? Would he die that way? He tried to get up and power up but with no success all seemed lost when out of nowhere Zen appeared in front of him and deviated the blast away by firing on of her own. The others joined them and they inquired about Gokou well being while the woman flew toward the saiya-jin who was floating in mid-air he having no idea about the tragedy that was going to take place.
"Are you blind? Or you wanted to defeat Gokou so bad that you didn't care about the fact that he's sick" said the woman
"What are you talking about? And how dare you accusing me I want a fair fight!" replied the angry saiya-jin
"Then step-down, because he's in no condition to fight you right now" she said to him and they both watched Gokou's friend taking him away to a hospital, the woman was wondering what was wrong with Gokou something told her she should keep her eyes open.
Brought to the emergency room he was taking care immediately while the others wait impatiently outside, Bulma had asked Vegeta to get his wounds taking care of when the nurse finished with him he joined them to the waiting and seat on a chair near his son in the booster-seat, he looked in direction of the white haired woman who was standing far away from the group far away from him.
It was the first time he saw her since she broke up with him. Knowing her for a long time he couldn't believe she gave up on him so easily, he had thought that the woman could have blown the planet with him with it for cheating on her even though their relationship was far from being the faithful type they were both free to do what they want.
'It's not like we were mate or anything we were just…' thought the older saiya-jin for the first time he was really thinking about what she meant for him and concluded that she meant nothing for him he didn't love her whatever that suggest, or care about her, but was it true? He knew for sure she does care like Bulma cares for him so why did she leave him?
Zen was now wearing a white blouse with a red loose skirt and red boots she had changed her hair by cutting them short and she had glossed the ends in red. He hadn't seen her wearing other color than black and he knew that she only cut her hair when she felt dishonored last time she did it was back in W.A. when those men had discovered that she was a girl in disguise. She was standing leaning against the wall arms crossed head bowed and her hair hided her face, he found her very attractive right now she even looked younger and he pictured himself taking her right now right here, when he felt a kicked on his side and turned his eyes to look at his son that was frowning at him
'Because of you party time his over' he thought, but Vegeta wasn't the only one who was looking at the woman but each they own thoughts but one question remained, Why the hell she's still doing on Earth?
The doctor finally came to them saying that he didn't know what was wrong with the patient that they were running more tests, that all they were able to do was to sedated him to ease his pain.
"He's awake now, you can go talk to him but don't stay to long he need to rest" said the doctor. The all entered the room while another doctor was leaving it but when he crossed Zen he turned his head thinking 'It can't be!' the doctor was no one else but this weird server in the restaurant in disguise, he hurry up leaving the hospital as fast as he could without drawing attention on him. At first Zen didn't notice but when she sniffed the air she turned back and looked at him leaving wondering but something clicked and she slapped herself mentally
'Damn it Zen how stupid can you get?' this was her cue to leave after the pseudo-doctor; he was nowhere to be found.
He was called Dr Poison one dangerous assassin that uses biologic weapon to kill, the Hitokiri society knew that Gokou was too powerful to kill in a hand to hand combat so they sent him to do the job he had succeed in poisoning the warrior's food and was waiting for him to die before doing his report. After leaving the hospital he went to his ship for analyzing some blood simple he had took from the saiya-jin, the virus that Gokou was infected with should have kill him a long time ago and he wanted to know why was he alive.
"Hello doctor I didn't know that you make house call" said Zen who was standing behind him in his spaceship lab
"So it was really you, how did you found me?" he asked surprised
"I can recognize this stench anywhere and follow it was a breeze" she said holding her nose
"His mine to kill! That contract was giving to me!"
"I know I am not here to take it away from you, just tell me what you did to him?" she said interested and flashing him with a smile
"I infected him with one of my creation 'the warrior killer virus' as I like to call it"
"You mean the one that wipe out Orion5"
"Yes this one it is more effective on high power level creature by attacking their heart" laughed the evil doctor
"You imbecile you could have kill me to!"
"Don't worry my sweet that saiya-jin they call Gokou was my target and the only way he could contaminate someone else is sexually or if you had any contact with his blood" he explained to her and she froze in terror but the man added
"By the way what were you doing in there?" he asked suspiciously the woman smirked and asked
"Is there any cure for that virus?"
"Yes there is one in the Hitokiri headquarters"
"Bull! I know you must have it on you just in case!"
"Even if that was true I wouldn't give it to you, tell me Zen what the hell you are doing there?"
"Give me the cure doctor and I won't blow you up" she said
"You traitor never! I'll rather die"
"As you wish!" she said ki blasting him but as soon as she did it the spaceship blew up she had just the time to shield herself
"Damn it! He got that fail safe system in his ship now Gokou is really screwed!" she said angry and returned to the hospital to warn the others
"Say what?!" said everyone
"That virus is design to kill people like us" said Piccolo
"You could go get the cure for him" asked Yamcha
"Sorry no can do" said Zen
"Why?" asked everyone
"Because it will be a waste of my time the cure is at thousand and thousand of light-years away and will take me almost a year and a half to go and come back but your friend have only a few weeks to live" explained the woman,
Chichi had started to cry while the others looked at each others there was nothing they could do to save their friend. Before everyone leave the doctor asked that everyone should be tested to see if they were infected.
Gokou sickness worsen within the hours and fall into a coma, Bulma hired the best specialists and researches to work in a cure but they told her they will need years before they could found it. The chance of survival of the younger saiya-jin was slim to none.
Three days had passed and Gokou didn't get any better, Vegeta was angry knowing that he had lost his chance to defeating the other saiya-jin to prove once and for all that he was the best was gone, so he spent most of his time in the GR machine training
"Curse you Kakorott you couldn't have chose a better time to get sick!" he said and changed into a super saiya-jin. At the same moment the phone rang and Bulma picked it up and run to the GR machine only to found Vegeta laying on the floor unconscious the doctor had just told her that her husband was infected by the heart virus.
They were all once again reunited in the hospital and learn that the two saiya-jin where in a coma and that Chichi was carrying the virus but she wasn't sick because she didn't have a high ki like the two men the virus multiplied less rapidly, the others were off the hook. Bulma spent the night at the hospital looking after Vegeta and on the morning this last one woke up
"What the hell I m doing here?" he asked getting off the bed but had to stop as he felt dizzy and Bulma help him back to bed
"You are ok!" exclaimed the woman who cried happily
"Why wouldn't have been?"
"You got sick because of the heart virus and felt into a coma"
"Well I guest that a stupid virus can kill the prince of all the saiya-jin!"
The doctors didn't buy that explanation and soon discover that the alien was carrying some kind of blood parasites that mutated to phagocytes when they entered in contact with the virus. They devised a cure that they gave to Chichi and Gokou hoping it would work.
Later on one of the researchers will discover that what they had mistaken for parasites were actually Zen's T-cells, the woman had actually got infected by that same virus weeks ago when she came back but her strong immune system saved her for some reason her T-cell mutated into parasites when they go through a foreign organism once in contact with the virus mutated again into phagocytes. But what the researchers couldn't figure out was how Vegeta end up with them, not knowing about his bad habit in drinking the woman's blood while they having sexual intercourse, the last time they were together Zen immune was battling the virus and Vegeta got immunized without knowing it.
In space an artificial satellite was orbiting the Earth, doctor Gero was preparing himself to send two pods containing his killer androids. In south-west south city at ten o'clock two pods having the number 17 and 18 crashed down in the middle of the city and from them emerged two teenagers a boy with long black hair wearing a red scarf around his neck and a beautiful girl with blond hair. People had gather around them asking questions about them when the two androids opened fire and destroyed half of the city,
"Should we start looking for Gokou" asked the female android
"No let's have some fun first; I am sure that this Gokou will come to us when we create enough mayhem and destruction"
"We had specific order from the doctor shouldn't we obey him?"
"Don't you worry we'll get the job done and than will take care of him, now may the game begin!"
The entire TV channels began to broadcast the mass destruction made by the androids, while the reporter was talking 17 appeared behind him and said
"Look sis we are on TV say I told you we'll be famous now say something to the camera"
"Boo you are all dead!" she said laughing at the same moment the army had sent the heavy artillery but the two androids destroy them easily in front of the media
"That's right and you are all doom and there is no one that could stop us, not even you Gokou" said 17 before blowing up the camera not after killing everyone around.
The Z warriors were watching the whole thing in TV and decided to stop them and went after them. Vegeta got out of the bed and started dressing up
"Were are you going asked Bulma worried
"I need some fresh air and some exercises" he said flying out through the window
"Be careful" she said after him knowing exactly were he was going
"Is he going to fight them?" asked Gohan who had remained behind on his mother instance
"Yes, but I have a bad feeling about all this, did you saw Zen?" asked Bulma
"Not since she told us about the virus, why?"
"I don't think she knows about what's happening they'll maybe need her help can you pinpoint her location"
"Why it's not like she cares"
"Believe me if Vegeta is there she'll be to" she said, the boy sighed and told her where she was and Bulma took her fastest jet to go after her.
By that time Vegeta had picked a fight with 18 while his brother just stood there watching the battle and the others was trying to evacuate the area, even as a super saiya-jin Vegeta was no match for 18 and when the others tried to help him out they got their ass kicked by 17 the only one standing was Krillin who didn't participated at the combat
"This is no fun I thought those guys would have last longer" said 17 to his sister disappointed
"Do we finished them off?" asked 18
"Naw we better go find Gokou now, maybe this one could tell us where to find him" he said pointing at Krillin and before he could blink they were into him
"Tell us where Gokou is and maybe will spare you" asked 18
"What do you want with him? And who are you?" asked the warrior scared
"We are androids made by Dr Gero to kill him now tell us where he is or I'll flatten your ball head!" said 17
"Leave him alone 17 I just found him" she said looking at the direction where the hospital was as the satellite sent in the information to her
"It's your lucky day baldy, but you better stay out of our way next time because I won't be so generous! Let's move out" he said taking off followed by his sister that wink at Krillin and said
"Goodbye!"
The fight was over when Bulma finally reach Zen that was on her way back to the hospital and Bulma told her about what was going on at soon she finished the alien woman put two fingers and her forehead and then vanished
"What?? How does she know about the instant transmission technique? I only hope it isn't too late!" said Bulma puzzled.
The woman rematerialized near Vegeta and checked to see if he was still alive
"How did you get there?" asked Krillin who was giving some senzu bean to his friends
"Who did that?" she asked angry while holding Vegeta in her arms
"A couple of androids made by Dr Gero, they are actually after Gokou" replied Krillin
"Where are they now?"
"On their way to the hospital" he said sadly, the woman clenched her fists and looked at her ex-lover and said
"Take care of him I am going after these androids and I'll make them pay for this!" she said leaving
"Wait Zen they are too powerful!" but the woman was long gone
"Just hang on we'll come to help!" he said hurrying to give some senzu bean to them.
Gohan left his mother at the side of his father for a moment so he could buy some food when a big explosion occurred he could see the flames and debris approaching toward his father's room but was to far away to help out
"Dad, mom!" he said running toward them but when the smoke cleared there were nothing left of the aisle "No!" he said letting himself down on his knees
"Gohan!" said Chichi behind him
"Mom where is dad?" he asked surprised to see his mother and she pointed toward the sky where the white haired woman was shielding him with her ki and she was facing two young person who means business.
"Play times over!" said Zen angry
"Who's that woman?" asked 17
"I don't know she doesn't appear on any of our data base, should we worry?" replied 18
"Why she's only human we'll dispose of her like the others!" said her brother, while they were talking Zen had gave Gokou to Gohan saying
"Listen to me brat I am going to open a portal that will bring you to my ship take your mother and father and stay there, I'll take care of these androids myself"
"Hai[1]!" replied the boy and took off with his parents as soon the portal opened but got stopped before getting in
"Where do you think you are going?" said 17 firing a ki blast in front of them but Zen deviated it away
"Stay out of this! This fight isn't any of your concern!" said 18
"It is now Barbie!" replied Zen firing back and the two androids crashed into the next building
"Zen you cannot fight them here you'll hurt a lot of innocent people!" said Gohan, the woman looked around her and opened a second portal and gave her black box to Gohan who disappeared with his parents into the hole and it closed after them
"Where did they go?" asked 17 furious
"You want to find them follow me!" said Zen going through the second hole and they followed her and they end up in a deserted place
"You just made a big mistake! Tell us where he is now and we'll spare you" said 17
"As if I was going to tell you" said Zen
"We could do it the easy way or the hard way spit it out bitch!" said 18
"Kiss my ass!" replied Zen
"They always chose to do it the hard way" said 17 shrugging
By that time the Z-warriors were on their feet and went to the hospital but no one was here and they worried about being too late when they sensed Zen's ki when she power up at her maximum
"Holly crap it can't be her!" said Yamcha
"I am impressed that woman has stamina" said Tien
"We better go find her she might need our help" said Piccolo while they flew toward the battlefield, Vegeta had turned ssj and was way in front of them
'Zen what you think you are doing!' he thought angry as he sensed her ki decreasing, as strong as the alien woman was she was no match for the two killer androids. When they got to the battleground the fight was over and Zen nowhere to be found
"Found her sword" said Krillin taking it off the ground
"Do you think she's still alive Tien?" asked Chiaotsu
"Maybe she's pretty tough" replied his friend, they searched the entire area without success but Vegeta finally found her face down in a river nearby badly injured he picked her up and flew to the nearest hospital around
"Come on Zen hang in here!" he said actually worried for once about the woman and the others just followed him there.
Two hours later the doctor approached Vegeta who was standing near her bed and asked
"Are you family?"
"I am the closest thing she got as family" replied the older saiya-jin with a raspy voice
"She's in a critical state it's to early to say if she's going to make it. Its real miracle she survived and she didn't lost the baby also" said the doctor
"What baby?" asked Vegeta
"Oh you didn't know she's like one month pregnant" said the doctor leaving Vegeta thunderstruck the only thing he could said a little later was
"Oh crap!"
