Greetings. Many thanks to you and the reviews you left. This is the last chapter I wrote and posted in the summer. Perhaps I failed to retain complete sanity somewhere along the way, but I have been looking forward to summer since my very first day of school. I can't stand it anymore, I need summer, in the same way a flower needs water. I cannot live without it.
Warning! This chapter contains language and rape. Some may also consider it to have a bit of angst. Should it be that you are squeamish or do not think yourself capable of handling these concepts, proceed no further. If you fall into one of the afore mentioned categories and choose to continue nevertheless, t'is not my predicament to overcome. You have been fowarned.
On the Battlefront
Chp. 7 ~ Abyss
Once again, Goku boarded the capsule space ship. He was prepared to go to neighboring planets to collect worthy allies to help Vegetasei destroy Frieza. "Blast off in 10, 9, 8 … ," the speakers boomed. Oh man, I hope Chi Chi will be okay by herself while I'm gone, Goku worried. But his thoughts were cut short as the ship jerked and slowly lifted off the ground. Well, here goes nothin'!
His first stop was a planet called Yul. It was dark and dusty, but the inhabitants were powerful fighters, a great advantage for the Saiyans. They would be useful allies in the battle against Frieza's men. Goku's ship landed with a thud and a cloud of dust formed around it. He stepped out and was welcomed by an alien with pale blue skin and horns on top of its head. "Greetings visitor," it said, appearing to be friendly. "What brings you to Planet Yul?"
"Well, ya see, I'm a Saiyan from the Planet Vegeta; General Kakarot," Goku explained. "I came here because my planet's declared war on Frieza. Our army hardly has any soldiers left so they sent me off to collect allies from other planets."
"Ah, I see," said the Yulian. "And you are wondering if we will help you?"
"Yes, please," he answered, trying to be polite so as not to mess everything up.
"Come. I will take you to speak with the King. We've taken an alliance with you Saiyans before and I'm sure he'd be willing to do it again," said the alien. "By the way, my name is Gellon," it said with a smile. Gellon escorted Goku towards the large castle that seemed to just have been dropped right in the middle of everything.
Goku stared up at the tall building in awe. They had large structures on Vegetasei, but they were nothing compared to this. "Oh, wow," he mumbled, nearly speechless.
"This is the King's palace," Gellon said, gesturing toward it. "Shall we go inside?" Goku simply nodded as they began to walk through the huge front doors. He was still in disbelief of the sheer size of the place. They crossed the threshold and followed the red carpet to an oversized chair in which what Goku assumed was the King. However, when they came within talking distance, Gellon said, "Secretary Hobbin, this is a visitor from the Planet Vegeta, you know, the one with the Saiyans … ," noting the confused look on the Secretary's face.
"Yes, I recall us joining forces with their kind a while back," said Hobbin. "What is he here for?"
"He has informed me of the fact that his home planet is once again in need of our assistance," Gellon informed him.
"Oh, and what might the threat be this time?" questioned Hobbin.
"It's Frieza, Sir," Goku interrupted.

No answer. "Goku? Goku, say something!" Chi Chi demanded. The shadow moved and footsteps could be heard. They were coming closer. Suddenly they stopped. It was probably just a cat or something. She had just turned around to go inside when some one grabbed her around the throat.
*****
"Frieza? You mean that terrible little planet broker?! I am certain that the King will follow you up on your request for our aid. Frieza's been after this planet for months! Allow me to fetch him for you." With that Hobbin ran off to inform the Yulian King of Goku's arrival.
Hobbin came back a few minutes later with his highness in tow. He looked similar to Gellon and Hobbin, except for that his horns were much larger. He was wearing a long red cape, which was encrusted with jewels. He also carried a golden staff with the Royal Seal imprinted in the gold. "I am King Luremez and I understand that you are in need of our assistance," said the King.
"Yes, Sir," answered Goku. "We really need some new soldiers. Frieza's army wiped out most of ours."
"I believe that can be arranged. About how many soldiers do you think you'd need?" asked the King.
"As many as we can get! And we need them as soon as possible so they have time to train before the war actually starts," answered Goku.
"Very well then. Would you mind staying here for a few days, while we get our men together?"
"Oh, of course not. That'd be fine. Thank you very much!" exclaimed Goku. Forgetting his manners, he ran over to King Luremez and vigorously shook his hand.
His crown began to slip from atop his head as he said, "You're very welcome, General Kakarot. Now Gellon will show you to your room." Once again, he led Goku away. They walked down a long hallway and into a room with a bed and some other modest furnishings.
"Does this suit you?" Gellon asked.
"Yeah, this is perfect," replied Goku. He left Goku to get settled and went to help the King.

Chi Chi tried to scream, but a pair of rough hands was constricting her. She tried her hardest to pull the hands away, but whoever it was, was just too strong. So she kicked and punched at her attacker, using every move she knew. What the hell's going on?! If I don't get some air quick, I'll be a goner! Lucky for her, the attacker finally allowed her to breathe. But he only let go long enough to take a fistful of her hair in his hand. "Ah! You bastard! Get the hell off of me! Let me go! Aah!" Her attacker dragged her inside by the hair, Chi Chi kicking and screaming all the way.
Still dragging her, he found the bedroom and threw her onto the bed. Her yelling growing obnoxious, he chopped her on the side of her neck, quieting her. She felt herself slip into darkness. Minutes later, she awoke, feeling the pain sear through every part of her body. The attacker was beating her, his fists connecting painfully with her face several times. Followed by agonizing kicks in the ribs, no doubt shattering them instantly. All she could do was cry, the salty tears streaming down her cheeks. Her limbs were too battered and bruised to move.
He ripped off her clothes, discarding them on the floor. He tore off his own clothes as well, then pounced onto the bed. She let out one last scream before the attacker kneed her in the abdomen. He thrust into her wildly, and she felt her insides tear. Blood rushed into her throat, causing her sputter and cough. He had her arms pinned on either side of her body, but it didn't matter since they were useless anyway. She felt like she would split in half if he kept it up. The pain was unbearable.
With a roar, his seed flowed into her. After catching his breath, he quickly got up, put his armor back on and left. She managed to catch a glimpse of him before she passed out. Her eyes were already swollen, but she could make out spiky black hair falling to his waist. There was also a scar across his forehead. The last thing she saw was the back of her eyelids, blissfully dark as she lost consciousness from the pain and humiliation.

"Ah, oh man, I sure am tired," Goku yawned and stretched. "But I have a job to do." He quickly got up and dressed, ready to begin the new day. "But first … breakfast!" He rushed down through the castle towards the dining hall. He sat down and began munching on whatever the cooks put in front of him. "Oh wow, this is great! Thanks!" He finished his meal and went to the main hall to wait for Gellon. The King had ordered him to travel with Goku. I wonder what Chi Chi's doing right now. I hope she's okay. Yulian recruits would be sent to Vegetasei on a separate ship. Gellon soon arrived and he and Goku boarded the ship.
"I'd better contact Vegetasei and tell them I found some help," Goku said. He took out his communicator and programmed it to 'send message'. It beeped a few times and finally someone picked up. T'was a Saiyan with a scar across his forehead …
"Yes, General Kakarot? Do you need assistance?" he asked.
"Actually, I just called to say that the Yulians have agreed to help us," Goku explained. "Now I'm on my way to Planet Ecosomen.
"Very well. I shall inform the King." The screen 'blipped' then disappeared.
"Ya ready?" Goku asked Gellon.
"I suppose," he answered. Goku pressed a few buttons and the ship took off towards Planet Ecosomen!

Chi Chi awoke with a terrible headache. In fact, her whole body hurt. She tried to sit up, but the pounding in her head worsened. Memories of the recent events came flooding back to her. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She hobbled out of bed and crawled into the bathroom, watching her past meal escape her insides. She felt so invaded, humiliated, disgusted with herself, with the world. She was powerless to stop him; a helpless child. She managed to stand up, supporting her body weight with her arms. She looked in the mirror and her reflection almost made her feel sick again.
Both of her eyes were badly bruised, her left one nearly swollen shut. The rest of her face was covered in cuts and scrapes. The same could be said about the rest of her body. She wanted desperately to take a shower to wash off all the blood. Maybe it would wash away some of the hurt, the regret. But she didn't think she could manage to stand up long enough. The most she could do was wash her face. Why didn't I just stay inside like Goku told me to? Why was I so stupid? And why didn't the security system go off? She had not the energy to continue thinking. She staggered down the hall, grabbing a blanket on her way. She couldn't stand to be in that room another second. She flopped down on the couch. Forceful sobs wracked her body and all she could do was curl up in a protective little ball, silently hoping that it was only a nightmare and she would be waking up at any moment.

Poor Chi Chi, I can't believe I made that happen. Gomennasai (sorry) that I switched scenes/view points so much, but I felt the need to provide you with ample cliffhangers. =) Okay, so there wasn't really a 'fighting scene' like I said there would be, but it was close. If you want to be on my horny little mailing list, just say so in a review and leave your email address. Arigato and don't forget to REVIEW!
