Chilla's Revenge

Part Three

It was the fifth ring and no one had bothered to pick it up. Vegeta was in the kitchen eating and Bulma was reading some papers on Capsule Corp. business. When the first rang came along, no one answered. The second ring, Bulma looked at Vegeta. He was closest to the phone. The third ring, she cleared her throat. The fourth ring, he looked at her as if ordering her to do it. The fifth ring Bulma gave up and answered the phone in the kitchen. "Hello."

"Hi, Bulma. It's Gohan. Is my mom there?"

"Your mom?" Bulma said surprised. Why would Chi-Chi come there? In her state, Chi-Chi wouldn't travel to the city alone. "No, she's not here. What's going on?" She listened to Gohan talk. "She wasn't at home when you came back? Well, maybe she went on a walk. Yeah. Keep me posted. Bye." Bulma turned off the cordless phone.

"What did that brat want?" Vegeta asked.

"Gohan can't find his mom."

Vegeta laughed. "How can he miss her? She's twice the size of West City."

Angry, Bulma threw the phone at Vegeta. He moved his head and the phone landed somewhere on the floor. "How can you say that, Vegeta?! Chi-Chi's pregnant."

"So, it doesn't change the fact that she's fat," Vegeta explained.

"Oh, that's it! How can you be so rude?! Get out of here! In fact, don't come back tonight!" Bulma yelled.

"Fine!" Vegeta shouted, rising from the table. "I don't want your food anyway!" He left the room and walked out of the house. He immediately turned Super Saiyan and took off for Gohan's house in the cool winter sky. 'I've got a bad feeling about this. Something's not right. I've felt a familiar force this afternoon and I'm afraid it does have to do with Kakarot's wife being missing. If I'm right, we're in trouble again.'

Gohan had been looking for his mom for nearly an hour now. He still didn't have a clue what happened to his mother and he was growing very worried. His mother had always been home when he came home. She would never go on walks alone. She always went with him. He picked up another ki approaching. Vegeta's.

The adult Saiyan landed in front of Gohan, a serious look on his face. "Where is your mother, boy?"

"I don't know," Gohan said worried. "I can't find her."

"What do you mean you don't know?!" Vegeta yelled. "Weren't you with her today?!"

"I left earlier to see Piccolo and Dende on the Lookout and I lost track of time," Gohan said, feeling guilty for leaving his mother alone.

"So, you've been playing with the Nameks for hours leaving your pregnant mother alone?!" Vegeta yelled again. "Oh, you're just as pathetic as your father for leaving you in charge. What an idiot!"

"My father's not an idiot!" Gohan defended his dead father. "You can say whatever you want about me but I won't let you get away from talking bad about my Dad!" Gohan said and powered to Super Saiyan as well.

Vegeta knew he was beat. Gohan defeated Cell seven months ago and was still more powerful than the Saiyan Prince. It would be useless fighting the boy now. He walked towards Gohan's house. His strong sense of smell picked up something. "There's a strange scent here."

Gohan sniffed. "I don't smell anything."

"Of course you wouldn't. You're a half Saiyan. Your scent isn't as strong as a full blooded Saiyan's." Vegeta stopped after a few steps into the house and went back outside, still sniffing. "The scent is familiar. Your mother had to have been gone for hours. There's another scent here but it's faint."

"What other scent do you smell?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta stretch out his memory, trying to recall the scent and gasped. "No!" He turned to Gohan. "There was a spaceship here, wasn't there? It had to have been."

Gohan looked up as he just realized something. "The ground was burnt about a mile from my home when I was looking for my Mom. Let me show you."

Vegeta followed Gohan to the spot. He saw two burnt round spots on the ground. "There were two spaceships here. These two burnt areas are where the ships were," Vegeta informed Gohan. "Your mother's been kidnapped." He looked at Gohan and ignored the shock that crossed the boy's face. "Quick! Get the Namek and the rest of Kakarot's friends and meet me back at Capsule Corp!"

Vegeta started to take off into the sky when Gohan called after him. "Wait. What's going on?"

Vegeta growled and looked back at Gohan angrily. "Time is of the essence! Don't question me! If you want to save your mother, just do what I say!" Vegeta yelled and took off back for his home. Gohan took off in the sky too, rounding everyone up.

Vegeta snarled angrily as he flew home. "I can't believe this! Why her?! Why now?! The madness just won't end!" When Vegeta landed at his home, he immediately searched for Bulma. He found her in Trunks' room playing with him. "Woman, put that child down. We have a situation."

Bulma could look at Vegeta's face and knew something bad has happened. "What's wrong?"

"Everyone is coming here soon so get ready," he ordered and left.

Bulma just held Trunks in her arms. Something was seriously wrong and she had a feeling it had something to do with Chi-Chi.

An hour later, everyone was in one of the vast rooms of Capsule Corp. Krillin, Yamcha and Bulma sat on the sofa. Piccolo was standing by the window. Gohan was beside him and Vegeta was standing in the center of the room. He had been pacing, gathering all his thoughts together for what he had to say.

"What's up, Vegeta?" Yamcha asked. "Why the urge to get everyone here? I had a date tonight."

"Fool!" Vegeta stopped in his pacing to glare at Yamcha. "This is more important than your stupid date! This is about Kakarot's wife! She's been kidnapped by Frieza's mother, Queen Chilla!"

Everyone faces turned to stun. "Frieza had a mother?!" Krillin shouted. He frowned as he realized what he said. "Oh, yeah, I guess he had to be brought in this world somehow."

"Chi-Chi's been kidnapped?" Bulma said alarmed.

Vegeta continued. "The only reason I can think of Chilla kidnapping her is to get revenge on her sons' death."

"But why now?" Yamcha asked. "Frieza and Cooler have been dead for years now."

"Yes, but they have been revived."

Everyone turned to see Baba entering the room on her crystal ball.

"Revived? What do you mean?" Vegeta asked.

"I was just informed by King Yemma that Frieza and Cooler are no longer in Hell. Their mother must have revived them somehow."

"It must be part of their plan," Vegeta thought.

"We have to find out where they are," Gohan spoke for the first time. "My pregnant mom is in danger."

"Vegeta, do you know where they might be?" Bulma asked.

"They must be on Chilla's planet--Frio."

"Give me the coordinates and any other information I will need and I'll work on plotting and calculating how long it will take us to get there," Bulma stated.

Vegeta nodded at Bulma and looked to the rest of the group. "Frieza and Cooler are strong and their mother is too, but there's someone else a lot more powerful and that's Chilla's right hand, Temptress. There's also the Ice Force. They will be a force to reckon with but with my Super Saiyan powers I should be able to defeat them. I can't fight all of them on my own so I'm only taking the strongest."

"Who's the Ice Force?" Krillin asked Vegeta.

"They're like Frieza's Ginyu Force, but a lot more powerful and stronger. Blizzard, Snow, Frost and Artic are the members--"

"Blizzard, Snow, Frost and Artic?" Krillin cut Vegeta off laughing. "That sounds like some weather terms. What kind of name are those?"

"What kind of name is Krillin?" Vegeta asked back. "Stop being foolish! The Ice Force possessed powers like their names and are very good martial artists! They will be expecting us when we get there."

"What if we try a sneak attack?" Yamcha asked.

"There won't be a sneak attack," Vegeta said. "Chilla is expecting us. She's sharp, cold and calculating. Her heart is colder than Frieza's. She's always using people for her personal gain. I don't know what bargain Frieza and Cooler made with their mother but there is a price to pay."

"She is his mother. Why would she make her son pay?" Krillin asked confused.

Vegeta scowled at Krillin. "Fool! Don't you listen to anything I say?! The woman is manipulative, cold. She doesn't care about anyone but herself."

"I don't care how cold she is," Gohan said angry for what Chilla did to his mother. "She better be ready for us when we get there."

"I'm leading the attack in and I'm only taking the strongest with me and that's myself, Gohan, the Namek and baldy."

"I do have a name, you know!" Krillin yelled.

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Whatever. The rest of you stay here."

"What?!" Bulma yelled. "You think I'm just gonna stay here where you all fight and I miss it! Besides you need me to fly the ship!"

"Why can't I go?!" Yamcha argues. "I want to save Chi-Chi, too!"

"You need to stay here!" Vegeta yelled at Bulma. "You don't have to fly the ship! If Kakarot could fly a ship to Namek, surely you could teach Gohan, the Namek or baldy."

"Krillin! My name is Krillin!"

"And as for you," Vegeta glared at Yamcha. "You're not one of the strongest." Yamcha glared at him but he couldn't do anything. Vegeta would pound him.

Bulma started to argue but something inside her told her not to question it. He must have a good reason not letting her go. It could actually be a sign that he's starting to care for her. "Fine. Well, there's a new ship Dad and I have been working on here. Ever since the expedition to Namek, we've been working on more ships in case we have to go out in deep space again. We've actually got one ready. It's just like the one we all went in to Namek but it has more rooms, including a training room and a kitchen that can store enough food for five grown up Saiyans."

"Well, I see you all have everything worked here, so I will take my leave," Baba said leaving the room.

"You guys are welcome to stay here until we leave," Bulma said to the males.

"No, thanks," Piccolo said. "I'll come when we leave." Piccolo walked out the room.

"Heck, I'll stay. More channels here than at Master Roshi's place," Krillin said. "You staying, Yamcha?"

"Nah, I'll come to see ya off since I'm not strong enough to be going," he said glaring at Vegeta once more before leaving.

"I'm staying," Gohan said.

"Come on, Vegeta," Bulma said rising out of her seat and walking out of the room. "I need you to give me coordinates, anything so I can plot a direct course to Planet Frio and get us there as soon as possible."

Chi-Chi awakened to find herself in bed. As she managed to sit up, she saw that she wasn't in her room. She was in a queen size canopy bed. The mattress was the softest she had ever been on and the sheets felt like silk? Where was she? She got out of bed and walked to the window. It was snowing outside. Now she remembered. Frieza's mother captured her and is holding her hostage.

'Gohan.' Chi-Chi thought. 'Does he know where I am?' She sighed. 'Oh, what a time for Goku to be dead,' Chi-Chi thought wryly.

The door opened and Chi-Chi turned attention to see who was coming in. It was a girl. She looked to be a teenager around sixteen. She was pushing a silver cart to her. Silver plates and platters were on the top and bottom of the cart and a lovely aroma was coming from them.

"Hi!" the girl spoke in a cheerful voice as she closed the door and moved the cart to her. "I'm Delia, your servant and bodyguard."

Chi-Chi blinked. "Servant and bodyguard?"

"Yeah, Queen Chilla ordered it. You've been out ever since you came yesterday. I was wondering if you would ever wake up and figured that if you did, you would be hungry so I fixed up this meal for you."

She pulled off the cover from top to bottom to reveal all the food Delia cooked for Chi-Chi. "Doesn't it look delicious? Since you're from Earth, I made food only from that planet. You have a lot of different ways to cook food on that planet."

Chi-Chi didn't trust this girl one bit. Sure she was putting on a cheerful façade but she worked for Chilla, a woman who kidnapped her and threaten the life of her unborn child. "No, thank you. I'm not hungry."

"But you've got to eat," Delia said. "You're pregnant. Oh, I get it. You think this food is poisonous. It's not. Trust me. If Queen Chilla wanted you dead, you would've already been dead by now."

"So, she's delaying my death is that it?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I don't know, Ms. Chi-Chi. She doesn't tell me her plans. All she told me was to be your servant and bodyguard."

"How do you know my name? Who are you going to protect me from?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Queen Chilla told me your name. I'm to protect you from Lord Frieza and Lord Cooler."

"That's impossible," Chi-Chi said. "They are dead."

"Yeah, they were but Queen Chilla had Temptress to bring them back. I think she transferred the life of two servants here into Frieza's and Cooler's bodies. All I know is that Frieza and Cooler were defeated by some guy name Goku, a Saiyan from Earth and--" Delia stopped as everything clicked. "You're Goku's wife, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am," Chi-Chi said.

Delia frowned. To Chi-Chi's surprised, she looked genuine sorry for what was happening. "Oh, no. You're bait to bring out Goku."

"That's impossible," Chi-Chi said sorrowfully. "Goku died seven months ago."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Delia apologized. "Well, then I don't know why. Queen Chilla must know that. Anyway, you really should eat, Ms. Chi-Chi. Your food is getting cold. It's not poisonous." Chi-Chi still didn't look sure. "I'll try it myself."

"No, I'll try it," Chi-Chi said suddenly. There was something about Delia that made Chi-Chi believed her. She looked truthfully sad to hear about her capture and the death of her husband.

"No, you can't eat it standing up," Delia said. "You have to eat it in bed. I'll serve you your tray."

"Um, all right," Chi-Chi said not use to this behavior. She got in bed and Delia gave Chi-Chi her first serving. Chi-Chi ate it and found the food to be delicious.

"Well?" Delia asked expectantly.

"It's good. Thank you."

Delia smiled. "Thanks. I wanted it to be good. Queen Chilla would scold me badly if it weren't. She wants you to be taken care of here."

"That's hard to believe since the woman kidnapped me," Chi-Chi said dryly.

"Now, now that's not nice to say to a woman who's given you a lovely room and board," Chilla said standing at the door.

Delia turned and bowed before Chilla. "Your highness."

"Leave us," Chilla ordered. Delia quickly left the room. "I'm sure your son is rallying his friends to get you and I'll be expecting them."

"You signed your death warrant," Chi-Chi said bravely. "My son is the strongest being alive."

Chilla laughed. "Strong he is. I have no doubt in that. His father defeated my sons, but you see, I'm their mother. I'm strong too, but unlike those dimwit sons of mine, I'm a lot smarter."

"How smart can you be?" Chi-Chi asked, smirking. "You kidnapped me. My son is an Ascended Super Saiyan, a lot stronger than anyone you will ever face, and if that doesn't make you tremble in fear as it should, you must know that Vegeta lives on Earth and he's a Super Saiyan, too and we have more strong allies including humans and one from Namek."

Chilla smirked. "For someone who has been kidnapped, you talk bravely. I see no fear in your eyes. The only time you showed fear was when I threatened your child. Well," she said as if thinking of something, "this should be interesting." She laughed again and left the room.

'What does she mean by that?' Chi-Chi asked herself.
