Chilla's Revenge

Part Eight

Chilla laughed wickedly as she played with the gold cord. "So, what's your decision going to be, Goku?"

Goku was furious now. Furious that this woman kidnapped his wife who was pregnant with his last child. Furious that she caused Chi-Chi harm over the past month with her son attacking Chi-Chi. Furious that he had to watch his wife fight for her life in a glass case where the water would drown her at any moment. He was also angry for what she was doing to the innocent people of Earth and angry for making him choose between his wife who was carrying his child, a child that hadn't got a chance to live and all the people on Earth who are living and some that aren't yet because there mothers are carrying them.

Goku felt the anger rising in his body and suddenly he cried out in fury. Chilla was startled at his rise in power.

'W-where is this power coming from? He's almost surpassing me!' Chilla thought.

Goku growled. "You're Frieza's mother! You're more evil than him! He didn't spare my best friend's life and I know you wouldn't spare my wife for the Earth or the other way around! Whatever my decision would be, you'd destroy both!"

Chilla smirked. "Yes, you're right. I was looking forward to the look on your face to see your wife die should you chose to save her."

"The only way to save them is to defeat you and I will!" Goku said getting in a fighting stance.

Chilla got in a fighting stance as well. "Come on, then."

Delia groaned as she awakened. She felt a throbbing pain in her left shoulder. She looked over and saw her bloodied left shoulder. Delia sat up and groaned in pain. 'I lost a lot of blood.' Delia ripped a part of her dress off and worked to tie the wound around her shoulder, to stop the bleeding. 'Ms. Chi-Chi and her friends are in danger. I have to help them.'

Delia stood up and leaned against the wall as a dizzy spell washed over her. Her vision was still blurry. 'I have to help Ms. Chi-Chi, her son and friends.'

Slowly, she began to walk. She made her way to a medical room. Delia knew there was nothing to be done with her, having lost a lot of blood. Her fate was sealed. The only thing she could do was help Chi-Chi's family and friends with the last of her energy. She opened a large cabinet and pulled out an oxygen tank and mask.

With as much energy she could muster, Delia made her way down the hall, stairs and to the throne room where Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin were. Delia went to Vegeta's case first and raised the oxygen tank to break the glass. She slammed on it and it didn't break, but she kept at it until the case broke. Delia carefully pulled Vegeta out so he wouldn't get cut on the glass. Once he was out, Delia put the mask to Vegeta's mouth and turned the oxygen tank on.

Vegeta's body began to take the oxygen in. He coughed, breathed in more oxygen and opened his eyes. He looked at Delia suspiciously. "Relax. I'm a friend," Delia told him. When she was sure he had enough oxygen, she pulled away.

Delia then raised the oxygen tank to break Gohan's case. "Move aside," Vegeta said pushing Delia away and broke Gohan's case. He pulled Gohan out and laid him on the floor next to Delia. He then went to free Piccolo and Krillin. Delia gave oxygen to the rest of them. When they had awakened, Vegeta asked. "Who are you and what's been happening?"

"I'm Delia. I've been taking care of Ms. Chi-Chi while she's here. Queen Chilla captured her and I couldn't fight her off. She's taken her somewhere. I don't know all what Queen Chilla planned, but she is going to make Goku choose between Ms. Chi-Chi and the Earth."

"The Earth?" Piccolo said surprised.

"My Dad's here?" Gohan asked.

"What do you mean Goku has to choose between Chi-Chi and the Earth?" Krillin asked.

"I overheard some scientist talking. When Queen Chilla captured Ms. Chi-Chi, Blizzard of the Ice Force went with her and placed four pods on the planet Earth. It's slowly freezing up as we speak, and I imagine Queen Chilla has Ms. Chi-Chi in a dangerous situation and she's going to make Goku choose between the two. He must be here because Queen Chilla gave Goku two hours to get here or everyone would die and it's passed that now. He must be here."

Vegeta folded his arms. "Chilla thought this out well."

"But how did my Dad get here?" Gohan asked. "He's dead."

"It doesn't matter. He's here, Gohan," Piccolo said. "We have two situations here now--your mother and the Earth."

"Piccolo's right. We have to save your Mom and Earth if your Dad is with Chilla now," Krillin said.

"I know of a way," Delia spoke. "I was overhearing two scientists talking and they mentioned where each pod were. I'm slightly telepathic. If I could get in contact with anyone on Earth who could stop it, then your planet can be saved."

"Bulma can let Master Roshi, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu know what's going on," Krillin said.

"If you can form a mental image of Bulma in your mind, I can sense her out wherever she is and let her know where the pods are," Delia said.

At that moment, they heard a door opening. Everyone turned to see Temptress entering the room. Her cold, silent eyes stared down everyone in the room.

"Uh-oh," Krillin began. "Cold, quiet, creepy eyed woman is back."

Vegeta stepped forward. "I'll deal with Temptress. The rest of you rescue Kakarot's wife and contact Bulma on saving the Earth. Argh!" Vegeta cried as Temptress fist came in contact with his face, sending him flying to a wall.

Krillin blinked. "What the…"

Piccolo saw the attacked clearly. 'She acted when Vegeta mentioned Bulma's name.' "Are you sure you can handle this?" Piccolo asked.

Vegeta glared at Piccolo. He knew Piccolo was mildly aware that he and Temptress had a previous relationship. "I said go! I can handle her!"

Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin and Delia left the room. Outside the room, Gohan formed a plan. "Piccolo and I will go find my Mom while you help Delia get in contact with Bulma, Krillin."

Krillin watched as Piccolo and Gohan immediately left to find Chi-Chi. He looked at Delia. She looked a little pale. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Delia ignored his concerns. "Come on. Make a picture of this Bulma in your mind."

Krillin closed his eyes and thought of Bulma. Delia placed her hand on Krillin's head, getting the picture of Bulma. She sensed her telepathic mind out for her.

Bulma. Bulma. Answer me.

Back on Earth in Capsule Corp., Bulma turned up the heat in her house. It was freezing outside. The latest weather reported stated that West City was at a record five degrees below zero and the wind chill factor was fifteen below zero.

She went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of hot cocoa when she heard someone calling her.

Bulma. Bulma. Answer me.

Bulma jumped and looked around. "Who said that? Who called my name?"

Don't be alarm. I'm a friend of Planet Frio. I've been taking care of Ms. Chi-Chi.

Bulma screamed. "Some stranger is talking to me!"

Calm down, please. Your planet is in danger! If you want to stop the freezing temperature on your planet, you must listen.

Bulma calmed down. "Okay. Uh, tell me how Vegeta is? If you're real, you'll tell me."

He's fighting off Temptress right now. Please, you must--

"Fighting Temptress?" Bulma said startled. "But Vegeta said she was very tough opponent and stronger than Frieza and Cooler--"

Bulma, will you stop worrying about Vegeta! Planet Earth is in far more danger! Just listen to what Delia has to tell you!

Bulma fumed. "Is that you talking now, Krillin?! Don't talk to me that way!"

Bulma, the world is in danger and you're worrying about Vegeta who's fine! Listen to Delia so that we can have a home to come back to!

Bulma calmed down. Krillin did have a point. "All right. Tell me what I have to do."

Bulma listened in as Delia told her the specific coordinates where the pods were. She quickly wrote them down and told Krillin and Delia not to worry. She and the others will take care of it.

Gohan ran down a dark hall followed by Piccolo. "I sense Mom's presence, Piccolo. It's getting stronger." When they reached the double doors at the end of the hall, Gohan kicked them down.

"Mom!" He called out seeing his mother fighting for air. The water had just covered her mouth and she was still pounding on it, trying to break free. He flew to his mother with quick speed and pulled the case out of the cauldron and laid it out on the ground. The water spilled out of the case until it was empty.

Gohan opened the case and Chi-Chi coughed, spitting out the water that got in her mouth. "Gohan!" Chi-Chi cried happily.

Gohan untied his mother's wrist and ankles. He pulled her out of the case and hugged her. "Mom! You're okay!"

"Yes, Gohan. I am…thanks to you. Thank you for saving me." She hugged him back scared she would never see him again.

Gohan pulled back and smiled. "You should thank Delia. She broke us out of the gas cases we were in." He looked at his mom's round stomach. "Is the baby all right?"

"I think so," Chi-Chi said placing a hand on her stomach.

Gohan stood up and helped his mother up. "Come on, Mom. Let's get out of here."

Punches, kicks and energy blasts were flying across the room as Chilla and Goku continued to fight. The two came at each other the same time, punching each other. Blood spilled from Chilla's mouth as Goku's fist came in contact with her face while a bruised formed on Goku's face when Chilla punched him. Despite their nearly equal power, Goku was hurting Chilla more than she was hurting him.

Goku grabbed a hold of Chilla's tail and spun her around; he threw her in the air and formed his powerful attack. "Ka…me…ha…me…ha!!" Goku yelled. A powerful wave left Goku's hand and hit Chilla dead on.

Chilla screamed in pain as the blast swallowed her up. She didn't know his Kamehameha wave attack was so powerful. When the blast disappeared, Chilla's body was smoking and her temperature was rising at the attack gave her. 'How dare he? How dare a Saiyan?! I'm more powerful than this beast! How can he?!'

"No monkey monster will defeat me! I won't allow it!" Chilla roared.

Goku stepped on Chilla's tail and used her head as a punching bag with his powerful fists.

"I'm going to make you pay for what you done to my wife and Earth!" Goku yelled as he punched Chilla's face back and forth, causing blood to splatter from her face.

In the vigorous beatings of her face, Chilla managed to grabbed Goku's fast hands and head butt Goku hard, knocking him back. "Stupid, Saiyan! You will not defeat me! Your wife will die!"

Goku smirked. "I wouldn't bank on that. Look behind you."

Chilla turned around and on her screen, she saw Gohan freeing Chi-Chi. "What? That brat escape? How did he?!" Chilla cried out as she was put in the full nelson by Goku.

"Face it, you're losing! Give up!"

Chilla struggled in Goku's arms. He was enormously strong. Chilla yelled, erupting a blast of energy from her body to attack Goku, knocking him away. "So, what if that brat saves your wife. You're still not getting out of here. My servant Temptress will take care of him and the rest of your friends."

****

Vegeta took each blow from Temptress. She threw him, kicked him, punched him, and threw energy blast from them. No matter how hard she attacked him. Vegeta refused to fight back. His body was taking a beating but he refused to fight her. After all that happened to her, he felt he deserved it. He didn't even come back for her after he became a Super Saiyan. He had all but forgotten about her after his battle with Frieza and searching for Goku in space to find out how he became a Super Saiyan.

Temptress pulled back in her beatings of Vegeta. For the first time since they were last together, she spoke. "Why won't you fight back?"

A battered Vegeta looked at her, his eyes full of emotion. "Why should I? I deserved it. I left you and I promised I would come back but I didn't."

Temptress dropped her fighting stance. "I loved you, Vegeta. Even after that torturous day, I still loved you. I held onto the hope that you would become a Super Saiyan one day, come get me, save me from Chilla. I'd check on you occasional, hoping to see you become a Super Saiyan. Instead, I saw you kissing another woman. You called her Bulma." Tears fell from her eyes. "I couldn't believe it. The man I loved was kissing another woman. You gave her a child and you finally became a Super Saiyan. I knew it was stupid, but I still had hoped that you would come for me but you didn't! You moved on with your new woman! You betrayed me, Vegeta! How could you?!"

She was angry again and attacked him vigorously. She punched him hard, knocking him to the ground.

"I tried to block out what Chilla told me--that I was something you used for sex, that you didn't love me, but it eventually got in me. You never loved me at all, did you?!"

Vegeta stood up. "I did love you, very much. I still do." He gripped her shoulders. "I apologize for not coming for you. I was obsessed with becoming a Super Saiyan after Kakarot did it that I forgot about everything…even you and Bulma who just gave birth to my child. When I became a Super Saiyan, I was focused on defeating the Androids that were going to kill me. After the Androids and Cell, I started to look at my life and myself differently and thought I should make a change. It doesn't excuse about my behavior but I forgot about you and I was wrong to do that." He caressed her face. "You're just as beautiful as when I last saw you."

"You love this Bulma?" Temptress asked.

"No." Vegeta answered simply and this surprised Temptress.

"But the child…" Temptress began.

"Came as a surprise."

Temptress gazed at Vegeta understanding what he was saying. "I see, but you're going to move on with her, aren't you?" Temptress asked regretfully.

Vegeta looked away. "Possibly."

Temptress knew he meant yes. She embraced him. Vegeta held her closely to him inhaling the sweet scent of her dark hair. "Your hair…it smells as I had always remembered it. Some nights…years ago…it kept me going."

"The feel of your arms around me in the past kept me going, kept me from killing myself." She looked up at his bruised face. "Look at what I did to you." She cupped her hands on his face. Her hands glowed and that glow traveled over Vegeta's body, healing him. "I can't interfere with you anymore. I have to move on as do you with Bulma and your child. I sense you don't care for her much, but you will. Frieza and Chilla have damage us so much but we can't let it consumed us. We can't keep our feelings and emotions buried forever because of what they did to us. We have to open up our hearts again."

"What would you do?" Vegeta asked.

"I must move on and like you I must defeat the person who ruled my life with an iron fist. I must defeat Chilla. I can't let Goku do what I should've done long ago. I only have one request from you before I go."

"Anything."

Temptress raised herself up to press her lips against Vegeta's for one last kiss.

To Be Continued

Goten's Guardian Angel: Heh. Heh. I told you Chilla was evil. I put him through torture because I love him. Rats. I want to see that movie!

Jessica C: I update regularly. I've written other G/CC stories. Just click on my name and you'll find them.

Lady Athena: Of course Goku will prevail. He's the hero and I'm a big fan of his. Hee. Hee. Yeah. Delia helped them out one more time with Gohan and the others. I already got one story screwing up Vegeta's love life. I don't need another. He's going to be with Bulma. Sorry.

Nani: Yeah, I love the suspense and pushing things for him. It makes him stronger.

Ultimate Seto-fan: Chilla did it because she's an evil witch and you're right, she would double-cross him. Temptress tears are both. No matter what, she'll always love him.

Max7: Thanks. Yep, Chilla is evil and she'll finally get hers in the next chapter.

Chuquita: Heh. I had to scare Yemma. How dare he trying to stop Goku from saving his family? Yeah, Goku knows he has to save both. Chilla wouldn't spare either of them.

Angelic: Thanks. I wouldn't know what to do either. No, it's still B/V, but Vegeta had to have one last goodbye with his first love.

GD: LOL! Yeah, you saw how Goku was when he transformed into a Super Saiyan. He couldn't finish his sentences.

Moon Girl: LOL! Well, this chapter is less suspenseful.

Gogirl: Chilla got her butt kick a lot by Goku in this chapter. It's going to be over in the next one. I heard from Danichan that in the manga Goku saw Chi-Chi die and he was mad!! I wonder in the uncut version was it shown. I have to look for the DVD with that episode. Goku might have seen her death through the crystal ball the Old Kai created. About the Saiyans, it's been a while since I've seen that one. I thought she was jumping over him, causing him more injury since his body was broken. If she did that in the Japanese version, she was probably worried about her son. He had never been in a fight before where Goku have been. She knew Goku could handle himself. Gohan was her baby. He had never been in the outside world or in a fight before. So it's kind if understandable that she went to Gohan than Goku. She was still worried over Goku and happy to have him back.

Cheena Son: He didn't have to choose because he knew what Chilla would do.

Vc-4eva: I love cliffhangers. I can't say what happens with Goten. You'll have to wait and see.

Ssjgoddesschico: Oh, you know you loved that cliffhanger.

DBZ Chick: Gohan was still knocked out.
