A,N: Thank you Pdestiny, Ciily Siyn, Acey and Eliza for being the first four to read and review my first chapter. As I checked my reviews and saw your four reviews, it really meant a lot to me. ^_^ To tell you the truth, I couldn't wait to do the next chapter! ^_^ So here is the second chapter of this DBZ story. Hope you enjoy it. I'd better warn you to have some tissues ready. This chapter is very emotional.  

Chains of Darkness Chapter two- Torturing Death

Quote: "When someone you love dies, what's the point in Living?"

As the two were talking, I tried to blank them out. After all, I knew what they were saying was bad news for me. So I looked around the cell, I saw new people in here then before. There were three children and one woman. They looked scared, and pretty beat up! The youngest child looked about five. She was shaking, and then looked over at me. This kind of torture wasn't right for a tender little child; I shook my head, and then turned my attention back to Doctor Gero and his crony. They were still talking about that equipment, I wanted to know what it was. After all, it's better to know what you're going to face, before it comes. Well, that's what I think anyway. I like to be prepared.

I looked down at my stomach. The gi was now even redder than before. The blood was now dry. I felt so hungry.. I hadn't had food for so long.. The thought of food was like torture. I knew very well that they would never give me food! I had to be strong, and escape from this place so I could return to my family and friends. The most important thing to do was remain myself. As long as my friends and family were alive, I knew I had to keep my will to battle the forces of evil.

As soon as I looked at the two, they looked at me too. Darn, I guess I missed the opportunity to find out about the equipment, I thought. I looked down again as I heard them laugh, and then a man joined the two.

'There are some intruders, sir!' He told Doctor Gero. I began to wonder who it could be. Maybe someone has come to put a stop to Gero.

'The intruder better be a threat for making me jump out of my mood!' Doctor Gero scowled. What a grump, I'm certain he'll be able to jump back in the mood. They made their exit, with the other guards in the room. It was a good feeling to know there were no guards, and no agony taking place. But I was wrong.

I listened carefully to all the noises. I heard the sound of feet running. Then there was a sound of a gun firing and a scream. Those noises were torturing! I wanted to know what was going on, and that scream sounded so familiar. It felt like a part of my heart had died, but I didn't know why! I struggled against the chains. They wouldn't budge! Not giving up, I pulled harder. Feeling great pain in both of the arms. I still didn't give up. I didn't care about any pain I felt, I didn't care how weak I was. I was determined to see what was going on! I heard footsteps, but I didn't take notice as the chains parted from the wall. I was free! I flew straight to the door, but a guard blocked the way. In rage, I punched him out of the way and landed.

There I saw the woman.. Walking slowly over to her, I saw exactly who it was. My heart felt like it had been torn out of my body. I fell down on my knees. Not wanting to believe the woman was really ChiChi. Banging the ground with my fists, I felt so empty.. So this was why it felt like a part of my heart had died. I thought, as tears began to appear in my eyes. The tears fell down on the ground..

'G..Goku..' A voice called, I looked down and saw ChiChi trying her best to talk to me. It hurt to watch. I couldn't stand to see her in this much pain. How could anyone be this cruel..? I held her hand firmly, trying so hard to comfort her.

'You're going to be all right.. ChiChi..' I said in a soothing tone. She gave a weak smile, or at least tried to.

'G..Goku… I love.. You…' She cried. I saw the tears emerge in her eyes. I felt the same way. She meant so much to me. I wanted to sacrifice myself for her. I wanted to take away the pain.. A leant down to her, and gave her one last kiss. That kiss seemed to go on forever. I guess it was because time felt like it had stood still, for the two of us, this would be our last passionate kiss. As I looked at her, she was not breathing anymore.. She had gone from this world, oh, how I wish I could join her..

I felt a hand on my shoulder, instantly turning around; I glared at the person who stood in front of me. He smirked.

'Feeling pain? Well that's good.' He grinned. How could anyone enjoy watching someone with a broken heart?

'You heartless beast!!' I raged.

'Am I? Well I get paid for being this cruel. In fact, I was the one who shot her. Oh yes, and the funny thing was, she begged for mercy. But we are trained to not show mercy to anyone! Another thing I find really funny is that she was sure you were going to come and save her. I guess if you were a few minutes earlier, she would still be alive!' He started laughing evilly. How could anyone be this heartless!? I didn't care about my injures at this time, no, I was stuck in my own rage of emotion. I dove straight at him, rapidly punching and kicking him. Then I high kicked him, he fell straight into the wall. Shocked I guess, because he ran down the corridor.

Turning around, I looked back at ChiChi. She didn't deserve any of this. I sat back down beside her. Just gazing at her, it's hard to describe the words of what I was feeling. I was now oblivious of anything that was going on around me. I just wish I could have at least one minute with my beloved, ChiChi. How was I going to cope without her? She was what kept me going, winning battles meant nothing without her beside me.

I got dragged in the opposite direction; I now had lost my will to fight. I think the guard knew that, since I didn't resist to him dragging me down the hall. Watching her disappear out of sight, as I went further down the hall, was like a nightmare. True, I don't usually have nightmares- but right now, I felt as though I had been torn into two. I wasn't my normal self. Maybe that is what Doctor Gero was planning, to torture me so bad that I would just lose myself.

As I thought of all the things that had happened to me: Losing so much strength, Losing the person who I loved the most: ChiChi. I felt so helpless, it was horrible to think of how helpless I was.. Had Doctor Gero beaten me..? That question loomed over my head. Could this really be me thinking? Me, a person who never backs down.. No! I can't let the evil doctor win. ChiChi wouldn't want me to lose hope, not when I've still got Gohan, and my friends. I cannot let ChiChi's sacrifice be in vain. I will avenge her death. I thought. Ready to avenge ChiChi's death, my heart was burning of hope, revenge and sorrow. For some reason, I now couldn't wait to come face to face with the Doctor who had been responsible for so much agonising pain. He's now going to pay for everything.. I promised myself this, and I could not give up hope…              

A,N: Sorry for such an emotional chapter. I hope I made this very lifelike. When I started to write this chapter, I imagined what my feelings would have been in the exact same situation. So I hope my attempt at this was good. Anyway, It's good to see Goku back to his normal self ^_~ Thanks so much for taking the time to read this chapter! Please take a few minutes just to review this chapter. I love to know what you all think of this. ^_^ The third chapter will be up ASAP. Bye for now! ^-^
