A Chance of a Lifetime- Chapter 6



Gohan groaned in pain and tried to open his eyes. Looking through slits, he could make out the small windows on the other side of the wall. He looked down. He was hanging from the wall. He could feel the cold steel as it cut through his skin. He groaned again and looked around for Trista. He closed his eyes. I wonder where she is? Tiny droplets of blood ran down his arms and he wondered if his dad knew what happened to him. He squinted, trying to remember. He could make out flashes of what happened. Both of them flying towards Capsule Corporation. He remembered looking over at Trista, and stopping. He had looked back and Trista was only a couple feet behind him. She looked like she was battling something. Her fists had been clenched and she was gritting her teeth. Then she had given a sigh, and opened her eyes. Gohan remembers becoming scared when he looked into them. They were pure white, no sign of black irises. And they had been so cold, so evil. He had slowly made his way over to her and called her name. She didn't respond. He called her name again, and she raised her hand up, knocking him out. That's the last thing he remembered, then he woke up here.

"You up yet boy?"

Gohan froze. He remembers that voice. That evil voice. But I thought dad had killed him? He slowly opened his eyes. It looked like Frieza, but more female. He tried to open his mouth to talk, but his lips were too chapped and his mouth felt like cotton. He stuck his tongue out and wet his lips, trying to speak again.

"What do you want Frieza?"

The alien laughed and shook its head. Then it rose until it was right in front of Gohan. It smirked.

"Your father killed my brother. I am his sister, Sabium." She flicked her tail.

He didn't know Frieza had a sister! He clenched his teeth as another wave of pain shot through his body. He gasped and drew his body up.

"Where's......Trista? And what have you done to her?"

Sabium laughed and wrapped her tail around her midriff.

"Well," she smirked, "it was pretty easy, seeing as how your little friend had some evil in her. I couldn't believe how easy it was to take over her mind, and to have someone that powerful at my control!" She gave a high- pitched laugh.

Gohan winced at the sound, and hoped that his father arrived in time.

"What are you going to do to me?" He tensely waited her answer.

"You? You're the bait that will lead your father here, and then I will have your little friend destroy him."

She smiled as he gasped. Then Gohan clenched his fists and struggled to free himself. His head hit the wall as Sabium smacked him with her tail. She gave a satisfied chuckle and left the room. Gohan felt like crying. Now what am I going to do! Dad's being led into a trap, and I can't stop it. Gohan felt a tear run down his cheek and he also thought of his friend, Trista. She was a victim, a slave, to that beast! And he couldn't help. His breath caught as he started to cry. Daddy!



Daddy!!

Goku's eyes snapped open when he heard Gohan's cry for help. He looked around, noticing that already three hours had passed since he last seen his son. He hadn't worried really, because Gohan had been with Trista, and seeing that she is very powerful, he felt he could trust her. He gave a shake of his head, and focused on Gohan's voice. He had sounded scared. But where are they!? Piccolo had said that they had headed towards Capsule Corporations after he left, but that was hours ago. Goku closed his eyes, and focused on Gohan. He gave a cry when he saw his son strapped to the wall, bleeding and scared. Goku opened his eyes and leaped out of bed. He ran to Vegeta's room, and burst through the door. Vegeta jumped up, looking at Goku through sleepy eyes.

"What?" Vegeta asked, his eyes narrowing.

Goku gulped. He cleared his throat.

"My Son!! You have to help me Vegeta!"

Vegeta's eyebrows shot up and he became fully awake. What was wrong now? Goku's brat in trouble again?! Vegeta sighed, then he nodded. Jerking on his pants and top, he followed Goku outside. Goku closed his eyes, focusing on his son's life force, he gestured for Vegeta to grab his shoulder. Vegeta held on as they transported towards Gohan.



Gohan could here his dad from far away. He slowly regained consciousness, and opened his eyes. He started crying with relief when he saw his father and Vegeta in front of him. Goku reached for the steel bands that held Gohan in the air. Gohan shook his head, and Goku stopped.

"If you try to take them off dad, Sabium said that I will get blown up." Gohan gasped.

Goku's face contorted shock, then he looked at Vegeta. They both gave each other a confused look, then Goku looked back at his son.

"Who is Sabium, Gohan?"

Gohan coughed, then cleared his throat.

"She's the one that brought me and Trista here. She said that she was Frieza's sister."

Gohan stopped, trying to catch his breath. God, it was hard to breathe! He wet his dry lips. Goku looked around the room, puzzled.

"But where is Trista?"

Tears welled up in Gohan's eyes. He sniffed.

"It's horrible dad! Sabium took over Trista's mind. She said it was very easy since Trista has evil in her. You and Vegeta shouldn't have come! It's a trap. She's going to trap you and Trista is going to fight you. Sabium said until death. Dad, you and Vegeta have to get out!! Now!!

Goku opened his mouth to respond, then whirled around when they heard laughter behind them. Sabium stood there, her tail swishing back and forth like an agitated cats. Goku and Vegeta yelled as they went super saiyan. Sabium shook her finger back and forth, then gave another chuckle.

"I'm not the one your going to fight, Goku and Vegeta. Why, you're going to fight one of your very own." Sabium gestured towards the ground.

Goku and Vegeta's eyes widened. Trista stood there, arms at her sides, fists clenched. Then she shot up into the air, right next to Frieza's sister. She had different clothes on, much like the suits that Vegeta and Nappa arrived in, but with more body armor. Goku looked into her eyes, and knew that it wasn't Trista fighting them, it was someone using her body. Her eyes were cold, heartless, lifeless. Her skin was a pale white, not her regular healthy tan. And her eyes where rimmed with black, much like when Vegeta was possessed by Babidi, but Trista didn't have an M on her forehead. She was already powered up, ready to fight. The only thing stopping her was Sabium's hand on her shoulder. Sabium smiled.

"You ready to fight your enemy, Trista?"

Trista gave a nod of her head, and shot forward, straight at Goku. She threw her fist back, and punched Goku in the face. He flew backwards, barely hitting the wall. Vegeta launched himself at her, kicking and punching, and only battling thin air. Trista backhanded Vegeta across the face, then punched him in the gut. Vegeta looked up as Trista descended, smashing him between his shoulder blades. Vegeta went flying towards the floor, making a gaping hole as he smacked the ground. Trista raced towards Goku, punching and kicking him. He fell to the floor beside Vegeta, unconscious. Sabium gave a roar of laughter as she watched Vegeta, then Goku, fall to the floor. Trista is much stronger that I anticipated!! Sabium smiled, and patted Trista on the back. She then had Trista imprison them, hanging them from the steel bands. Sabium surveyed her work, then gave a satisfied nod. She was finally getting revenge for her family's death.



Goku slowly came out of the black abiss. Vegeta followed soon after. They both groaned as the steel bands tightened on their wrists. They opened their eyes, and Goku looked down at his son. Gohan had his eyes closed, resting. Goku's eyes shifted towards the front, and came face to face with Trista. She stared at him with her dead eyes, not blinking. Goku uttered her name.

"Trista? Can you hear me?"

She didn't blink, and gave no indication that she understood or knew who he was. Her irises had returned, but they were black, not the forest green that they had been. Goku could feel the evil streaming off of her, and shivered. Vegeta watched as Trista stared at Goku, and then felt him shudder. Vegeta didn't blame him. He was just glad that he wasn't the one being stared at. Vegeta watched as Trista's eyes focused on him. He growled low in his throat, sending her a warning. She glared at him, boring into him with her eyes.

"That's enough games for one day, Trista." Sabium said as she jerked Trista away from them.

Vegeta blinked, confused as to what just happened. She smiled at his confusion.

"Soon Trista, you will have all the fun you want." She chuckled and led Trista away, the door slamming behind them.

They all sighed, and Gohan opened his eyes. He looked at his father.

"I told you she was pure evil dad. She's tried that with me before. Trista's trying to get you to snap, that's why she keeps glaring at you like that!"

Vegeta growled again. "Well, it's unnerving."

Gohan sighed.

"I wish I could help. I have a bag of Sensu beans, but I can't reach them. And I'm guessing that Sabium doesn't know what they are because she hasn't taken them from me yet. I just hope that Trista doesn't notice them."

Goku and Vegeta looked at each other, hoping the same thing.
