Chapter 29: AX Training.
"Krillin, I think I found something " Gohan called over his shoulder, his voice echoing off the opposite wall, while his hand was wedged down a small hole in the floor
"What is it little bro?" Krillin called jumping up onto the wall he grasped his fingers and toes in between the cracks, holding himself up to the ventilation duct, due to their being light on in both of their cells, he could see Gohan clearly.
"Im not sure, just give me a sec and ill." Gohan began explaining and them froze, his hand had come across something, and it did not feel very comforting.
Slowly he began pulling it out from the 2 to 3 feet deep hole.
Krillin watched and waited as the tips of his fingers turned white from holding on, he did not have enough energy to hover in mid air.
Gohan hand exited the hole, and clinging along the length of his arm and between his fingers was the decayed remains of a palm sized rodent, its condition was disturbing and its smell stomach churning.
"Yaaa!" Gohan shouted, tossing the rat up and over his head.
The small rotting carcass went flying across the room at a great velocity, coincidently slamming straight into the ventilation shaft, with Krillin perched on the other side.
"OWW!" Krillin cried when the rodent affected the vent, half filtered through the holes, the monk falling almost a dozen metres to the cell floor, traces of rotted flesh and blood tattering his face.
"Krillin, you ok!" Gohan called, standing and jogging to the wall beneath the shaft.
"grr.. Dammit.. gross!" a frustrated response came, and Gohan sighed in relief, Krillin was all right.
"Im sorry Krillin, it just spooked me " Gohan confessed, looking down at his arm and wristband still coated with traces of rat, quickly whipping his hand against the wall to remove it.
Krillin whipped the length of his face with his hand, removing the remains from his skin.
"Its ok Gohan, just watch out where you stick your hands next time ok" he said standing up, rubbing his lower back with the tips of his fingers.
"Doh, why does this always happened to me" he snivelled to himself, pacing around his cell, massaging his lower back muscles to ease the discomfort of his fall.
Gohan turned away to the glass doorway of his cell, hoping that he may sense him again as he had earlier on.
"Krillin im telling you, I sensed Piccolo before, he was right here outside the door" Gohan assured.
"If that's so then why wasn't he there, you said it yourself you couldn't see him Gohan" Krillin's voice sounded through the vent, echoing slightly.
Gohan looked to the ground, it was true he hadn't see Piccolo, just sensed his ki that disappearing as strangely as it had appeared.
The boy of many past victories against evil was growing weary, as many would when hope seemed beyond reach.
"Piccolo. Daddy, please you have to find a way out of here, you just have to.even you Vegeta" he whispered, his breath fogging the glass in front of his eyes.
*************************************
The walls were blurry as was the ceiling and the faces that went by of unknown soldiers.
Piccolo for the first time in his life, was nodding off from his bodies fatigue, dragged through rooms and corridors toward Isabelle's cell he couldn't keep his head straight.
His head snapped up to look straight ahead when he felt a blunt collision against his chest
"Stay awake weed, you have limited time before your ass is mine" The lieutenant sneered, slapping Piccolo's chest with the back of his hand to rouse the namek.
Piccolo groggily brought his head forward, realising the toes of his shoes were dragging along the ground he raised them back onto their souls, trying to keep up with his the steps if his escorts.
"You know, you wont have the advantage over me forever" Piccolo alleged, his lips almost unmoving as he spoke.
The cocked his head back in a load chuckle.
"I don't need forever namek, just give me a day, and I will bring you to your knees" he derided, looking over his shoulder at piccolo with a devilish grin.
Piccolo couldn't keep a stare for very long, to weary and mentally waisted to put up a fight.
Then he sensed it. she was here.
Slowly his eyes opened fully, watching as the end of the hallways came closer and closer to them.
".. PICCOLO! . ." A voice screamed through the hallway.
" Isabelle!" Piccolo called back, his voice hoarse but firm.
He tried to pull his arms free from the grasp of the two that held him, he could not see her, but he could sense and hear her, it was torture.
"Well, at leats I wasn't lying about her screaming out your name, I guess she still keeps you close to her heart" the lieutenant sniggered, smirking dimly to himself before stopping at the end of the hallway.
"Where, where is she!"? Piccolo gave a deadly grown at the soldier who led them to an empty hallway.
"Right here" the soldier stated, pressing a dark green button that was imbedded in the wall beside him.
They all watched as a part of the wall suddenly lifts like a vertical blind, behind it a plate glass window.
The two guards walked forward, bringing Piccolo closer to the window.
He couldn't offer any words as he stared into the room, all of it was light grey and concrete, he could see a door in one of the other walls, but it was also made of concrete, apart from this one window, it was literally a box.
And bundled up weakly in the far corner she lay, her clothing loosely fitting, her hair unmade, matter, and her skin pail and sickly.
"What have you done to her, damm you what have you done!" Piccolo cursed without removing his gaze from the woman who had hours earlier had lost their child.
"PICCOLO!" Isabelle's voice called out, the back of her head pressed against the concrete wall. Piccolo couldn't understand, he was right there, yet she couldn't see or hear him when he called out to her.
HE turned about to blast the lieutenant as to why.
"The room is sound proof to her, she can not hear or see you, the glass is a mirror reflection on her side", the lieutenant explained, watching Isabelle with his sinister eyes,
"Let me I there, now!" Piccolo demanded, he wanted to comfort her, more than anytime in his life, he wanted to be there.
"You have had your moment Namek, what happens to her from now on doesn't concern you" he pledged to Piccolo.
Piccolo in return bared his teeth, now preying, he had the strength to rip the lieutenants tongue out.
"No words to offer to that namek, well, im glad." the lieutenant spoke, stepping away from the window.
"Its time, say goodbye to your sweetheart, its be the last time you see her before AXE time" he told the namek face to face.
The lieutenant stepped away from Piccolo casually, hearing as the vertical opening window began closing.
"NO!" Piccolo cried out, his attempt to free his arms and holds the vertical panel open were fruitless.
The light from inside Isabelle's cell faded as the panel closed shut.
******************
Vegetas head shot up from his sleep, he looked straight toward the glass door.
"Kackarot, did you hear that?" Vegeta inquired, his eyes locked to the doorway
"Yeah, I heard it Vegeta." Goku alleged after a moment, his voice even and emotionless.
Goku stood in eth middle of his cell, he could feel as his energy slowly, hour by hour began returning to him, looking down at his palms he could see the colour returning to them.
"He balled his fists, lowering them to his sides he closed his eyes, it would take time, but he wanted to be back to his full capacity before long.
"Hmm, sounds like the namek is finally expression himself" Vegeta huffed, turning away from the glass doorway, in his hand was his fathers broach, he noticed earlier the broach looked as though it had broken into several pieces and glued back together again, with several small shards and fragments still missing.
"(Thick sigh).Kackarot, if we get out of here before they put us to AX training, I want you to all find your way out of here without me" Vegeta pledges, his frown lined deep and unwithering.
Gokus eyes opened looking up to the ventilation shaft that connected their cells.
"What are you talking about?" he questioned, knitting eye eyebrows together.
"I wont repeat it Kackarot, I have personal matters to settle, and I don't want any of you pitiful life forms getting in my way" Vegeta answered tightening his grip around the broach, showing no patients toward Goku.
Goku looked away from the vent, back to his previous state of staring toward the doorway.
"Im not leaving here without you Vegeta, I don't care what personal matters you have that you feel are more important, we have to stop Tempo at all costs" he gave such an unquestionable statement, that it Vegeta took a moment before answering.
"YOU may not consider it important you heritage trashing idiot, my sayajin ancestors matter more to me than that puny pathetic planet that we were on!" Vegeta retaliated, rising to his feet; lifting the broach, he pressed it firmly to his forehead, his eyes clenching shut tightly.
*I will avenge you father, I will avenge all of the sayajins.all of us* he promised, his mind set on what he must do.
Goku was more than prepared to give Vegeta a list of reasons why he wont be left behind, but the tell tail sound of heavy boots a\approaching took over his attention, as it did Vegeta sin the next cell.
They both waited and then watched as tall shadows appeared in front of their cells, their doors opening simultaneously
Goku took a single step back as he watched the enormous and grisly clip walk in and towards him, barely fitting through the doorway, in his hands a chain.
"Now, sayajin, its AX time for you" he sneered, stretching the chain between his hands threateningly.
Vegeta next door stood his ground when slit stepped inside, smaller than clip but just as devilish.
"Dear prince, we have a special program suited for you.," he said snickering, a chain also occupying his hands, ignorantly expecting that Vegeta would co-operate.
However, that was not so.
"I would happily oblige in entering this program if it meant I was able to rearrange that face of yours into something bearable!" he threatened the alien, snickered, his arms folded confidently across his chest.
