Chapter 8

Gotta find her.' Amber thought as she flew through the sky, trying with all her might to sense either Liza or Majin Buu's life force. She finally got Liza's. It was faint, but it was there. She kept flying, but faster now, not wanting a single second wasted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liza woke in a cell, disoriented, and looked around. She wracked her brain to remember what had happened.
Amber asking what was wrong. The wall being blown away. Then darkness. She jumped slightly when she heard footsteps. Buu smiled evilly as her eyes adjusted to the darkness.
She'll be coming for you. he said. Liza knew he meant Amber. No matter what, if Amber was presented with a challenge, she took it. You, my dear, are the bait. My plan was set into motion when i took you.
What plan? Liza asked him. Buu chuckled.
She'll come for you. I will be giving her an ultimatum. Buu said. You will go free........but only if she gives up her powers to me.
Liza sank to her knees. This isn't happening. This Can't be happening.' she thought. Liza knew Amber would do anything to save someone she loved.
Here she comes now. said Buu. I'll bring you out when i feel it necessary. he walked away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is she, Buu? Amber demanded the moment she saw him walking towards her.
She's........alive and well.
You know what i mean, Buu. bring her out here. Now. Amber was angry. She would tear Buu limb from limb for kidnapping another family member. Buu snapped his fingers, and Liza appeared, on her knees, hands tied behind her back, her back to Buu. Amber made a movement to go to her, but Buu set his hand at the back of Liza's head.
Move and she dies. Buu said to Amber, who stood stalk still, not sure what to do. You can have her back, but for a price.
As this was happening, Cheryl, Mary, and Tory were arriving to see if they could help.
I'll do anything. Just let her go. Amber said, fear evident in her voice. She didn't want to lose another aunt to an enemy. Not now.
Give up your powers. All of them. Buu said simply. Liza struggled, but Buu held her where she was. Liza decided to talk to Amber instead.
Amber, Don't! It's not worth it!
Amber smiled when she glimpsed Liza's eyes, staring straight into them. It is to me. she walked forward a few strides. All right, Buu. Go ahead.
Buu held out his hand. There was a small vile in it. Amber felt as though the life were being sucked from her. When the vile was filled, Buu let Liza go. Amber leg muscles gave way. Cheryl and Liza, from opposite ends of the room, ran to catch her. When they did, they realized how labored her breathing was. Buu disappeared.
said Liza, tentatively. Are you okay? Amber merely shook her head. We have to get out of here.
I....I can't- can't stand up. All my strength is gone. she then fainted. Cheryl and the others transported her to the house and explained what had happened to everyone. Alan looked closely at his daughter, then turned to the group.
I knew this would happen. Her body is so dependent upon her powers that without them she may die. he said. Liza sank into a chair and put her head in her hands.
This is all my fault. She gave her powers up to save me, and now........now she may die. she said, her voice choked with tears. Cheryl put an arm around her shoulders, trying to tell her it wasn't true. Maureen turned to Alan, anxiety and fear etched in her features.
Isn't there something we can do? she asked. She was scared. Amber couldn't die. Not now that their lives were getting back together again. Amber had a baby to take care of.
If we get her powers back......but it would be risky. he said after a moment of thought. Everyone looked up. Alicia, Tory, Kim, and Candice all looked at each other and nodded.
We'll go. said Tory. Alan sighed.
This will be very dangerous for you all. You know that, right? he asked. They all nodded. All right, then. But I think I'll go with you, just in case. Liza stood at this point as well.
I'm going. she said clearly. Maureen started to protest, but Liza cut her off. No, Maureen, don't. I'm sorry to say this, but I'm tired of being babied just because I'm one of the youngest sisters. I'm 35 and i can do this. You have to trust me. Maureen bit her lip, but nodded. The group smiled and left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they had arrived at the place where they could sense Buu's power coming from, they were all on alert, not wanting to be ambushed. They made it across the lawn surprisingly easily, which was a bit unnerving. In fact they were about halfway through the entrance hall before anything happened.
Several what looked like mini-Buu's hopped out of the shadows. Luckily there was one less of them then the amount in the group. Liza was able to work on where they should go as the others fought.
Point me, she whispered. Her wand spun around, then stopped, pointing to an area off to the right. That was North. So they had to keep going down this hall and take a right to get to Cell. She looked up just as Tory was finishing off the last mini-Buu. We need to keep heading down this hall and take the first right. They all nodded at her, and started walking.
When they came to the area where Buu was supposed to be, they looked around, confused. Where was he?
Liza, Look OUT! Tory yelled. Liza turned just in time to see a hand coming from a corner of the room and dodged it by an inch. As the others started to fight Buu, Liza skirted the outer edge of the room, looking for something that might have the vile which held Amber's powers in it. She found a small rack around back of Buu. It had Amber's Vile in it! Liza grabbed it and started to work her way back. Suddenly, Buu appeared in front of her, startling her.
Going somewhere? he asked, a laugh in his voice. Liza tried to run, but Buu grabbed her around the neck, not hard, but enough to hold her in place. Liza threw the vile to the group. Tory caught it and apparated away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tory arrived at Amber's side and opened the vile. The contents poured out and into Amber. The color returned to her cheeks. After a few moments, Amber's eyes opened, and she looked around at her remaining aunts and mother.
Amber, we need help. said Tory. Amber nodded, and swore to her mother to return in one piece before leaving with Tory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Amber and Tory got to Buu's hideout, they weren't really sure what was happening.
yelled a voice, followed by screaming. Amber turned to see Liza, writhing on the ground and screaming at the top of her lungs as the Cruciatus curse took affect. Amber ran forward and knocked the wizard whose wand was on Liza away.
Where are you, Buu? Amber yelled from the ground where she was trying to get Liza to look at her. Liza shook her head, which wrapped in her own arms. She was shaking uncontrollably Liza, come on. Look at me. It's me. It's Amber. Liza shook her head repeatedly, shaking worse then ever, her breathing uneven. She did not appear to have heard Amber's words, except that it was Amber. This was all she knew. Liza clutched at Amber shirts and arms. Amber saw the cuts and bruises, her anger rising. Liza, come on. You need to snap out of it. We need your help.
Liza seemed to come to herself at that moment. She jumped back from Amber, thinking her an assailant. When she saw Amber's face, she rushed back, enclosing her niece in a hug, wrenching sobs erupting from her. Amber merely let her cry, knowing that Liza had been through a terrible ordeal.
When the tears had subsided, Amber asked, quietly, Liza, do you know where everyone went? Liza looked surprised as she looked around.
No. I-I thought they were here. she said.
Amber then sensed a dying power. She knew it immediately. Alicia!
Come on. Amber said, helping Liza up. She turned to Tory. I have to get her back home. You go ahead and try to help them. I'll be there as soon as i can.
Amber flew home, supporting Liza, and after making sure she was okay, left to help her friends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amber arrived what had to be the most horrific scene she'd ever looked at. Alicia lay unconscious on the ground, as well as Kim and Candice. Tory was still on her feet, but looked as though she was fighting on reserves of her power. Amber kicked Buu in the side of the head. He fell, but was up again quickly. Amber held out a small leather pouch of senzu beans to Tory.
Take one and give them to the others, okay? Tory nodded and flew to each person as Amber got ready to fight. As Amber was slightly out of practice, her Super saiyen powers were a bit rusty. But she got the feel of them again and was soon in a heated battle with Buu. When he started to lose, he ran (big surprise). Amber ran to help her friends.
Thanks, guys. she said, smiling. They all apparated home. When they arrived, Amber went straight to the healing chamber in the basement, built three years before by Amber's father.
Is Liza all right? Amber asked. Cheryl smiled at her and nodded.
She sustained few bad injuries, but it's nothing that this won't fix. Don't worry. she told Amber, who looked worried. Amber hugged Cheryl, then her parents, who were all happy to see her alive and well. Maureen left the room and returned with Jamie. Amber took her a held her close.
Hey, sweetie. she whispered to the sleeping child. Amber kissed her daughter's forehead gently, then went upstairs to put her back into her crib. Lionel returned from work, and upon seeing Amber standing there, smiling, he ran to her and held her tightly. They heard a beeping sound from the basement. Liza should be healed by now. Amber said, and they went down to the basement.
Liza was sitting up, stretching. She smiled broadly when she saw Amber, who walked in with the same smile on her face.
Good to see you're well, Liza. she said with a small laugh. Liza stood up.
Thank you. she said simply. Amber looked slightly puzzled.
What for?
Are you kidding me? Liza asked her incredulously. You saved my butt back there. I'd be dead now if it wasn't for you.
You think i'm going to let another person close to me die? Amber said. Not if I can help it. They all laughed. Amber heard Jamie start to cry, and went upstairs to check on her, looking into her other two children's rooms, where they were napping, as she went.

TBC........
Few more chappies to go! R&R if you liked it! It motivates me to keep going!
