A,N: Sorry this chapter took so long to arrive. But the weather has been great, so I've been outside, lol, but it was a waste of time no tan! ^^;; Anyway, thanks a lot everyone who has reviewed my story so far! ^_^ Thanks: "Eliza", "Acey", "Laura", "Pdestiny", "People hate me" and anyone else who has reviewed my story! ^^(sorry if I've missed anyone out! ^^; ) I love getting the reviews, It's good to know that my work is appreciated! To "People hate me" you made some good suggestions, but I was waiting for the right moment to do a flashback of how it all began. This chapter will explain it all. And also, this chapter has a shocking surprise. I can't give anymore away. ^_^ So here is this next chapter, be prepared to see Doctor Gero's shocking new invention:
Chains of Darkness
Chapter three- Malicious Memories
Quote: "Life is full of bad memories, but why do we remember them?"
As I came closer and closer to my foe's exact position, my mind flashed backwards to before this torturing tragedy first began. Oh, how I wish I could go back to those days. Those days that were full of exciting things. If only I could turn back time.. Then my beloved ChiChi would still be here.. She did not deserve to die.. No, I wish it was me, not her, who had departed from this miserable world. If only I could give up my life, and she'd be back here. If only it was that easy to turn back time. No one has the right to take away someone's life from them! Doctor Gero has gone too far this time..! I can live with what he does to me, but murdering a person from my family is going too far!
I remember the day when this fateful day took place, as though this was yesterday, it all seemed so clear. The sun was high in the sky. Life was so beautiful. If only it was beautiful now…but that's not going to happen. I was out back, training with Gohan. ChiChi came out and joined the two of us.
'Goku, honey. I got word from Bulma.' She smiled, that smile of hers I'll miss most of all. She reminded me of an angel when she beamed happily. 'She said we should meet up with her and the others at the Kamé house.'
'Great!' I responded the smile at ChiChi, looking forward to seeing my friends.
Time seemed to go by in a flash, and before I knew it, we were there. Bulma, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, Choatsu and the Turtle. We were all chatting happily. ChiChi was talking with Bulma. Oolong was embarrassing Master Roshi, while Puar was laughing at the two. I was talking with Yamcha, Tien, Choatsu and Krillin. Gohan was playing with the Turtle. About 10 minutes later, I think it was, I felt a sudden tap, and looked around to see my son, Gohan.
'Dad!! There are weird planes up in the sky!!' He yelled, pointing up at the sky. I looked up. He was right. There was about six of them, if I remember correctly. It all seemed to go by so quick. I remember hearing the sound of screaming, and the sound of blasts. Helplessness filled my heart, seeing the pain and agony that was unleashed on my family and friends… I hated the feeling of being able to do nothing. Everything went blank, as something caught me by surprise and cut through my side, and another sharp thing hit me on the back of my head. Even though I was out, I could still hear the anguish that was going on, and that teared me apart from the inside. It's not a very nice feeling, hearing people in great agony, while you're powerless to do anything about it.
The only memory I could remember was that one. It seems everything else I remember became torturing memories. Even that memory turned into a poisoned one. If only I could remember a memory that was pure good all the way through. But being in this place does something to your mind. It seems so unfair that I can only remember the poisoned recollections over the good recollections. Why is life so cruel?
I pondered this question in my mind, until I felt my hauling come to a stop. Looking around I saw we had arrived at our destination. Time for revenge, but I had to keep a depressed look on so the guard didn't suspect I was up to anything. This was rather hard for me to do, since revenge was burning in my heart. As the guard let his guard down, I swung my leg around and tripped the guard up. Using my strength of revenge, I unleashed my anger. I was lost in my own emotions. After about five minutes, he was knocked out.
I looked over at the door; I guess I should have let him punch in the numbers on the keypad, since I had absolutely no idea what the right combination was. But no time for regrets, I had too many of those in my heart all ready. I walked straight over to the keypad punching in random numbers. This probably wasn't the best time for me to have a lot of guesses. I heard a noise underneath me, and a gun appeared firing rapid bullets at me. Normally it would have been easy for me to turn those bullets into ash, but, it wasn't that easy for me right now. I flew up in the air, and knew I had to get into the right movement, and just concentrating on the bullets. Putting my hands together, I yelled "KA….MÉ…..HA….MÉ" The blast began to form. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" It felt good to do my attack, the blast turned the bullets and the gun into dust. I landed. Hearing a laugh that seemed to echo. Turning around, I came face-to-face with Doctor Gero. I have to admit, I wasn't the least bit scared to see him.
'You will pay for everything you've done doctor!' I glared.
'I thought you were too weak to do any of your pathetic speeches.' He smirked at me.
'You'd like that wouldn't you? Well you can forget that, as long as there is still breath in my body, I will never stop being who I am! I have vowed to take you down, and you can bet I will carry out this to the best of my abilities!' I said, hoping that he wouldn't take this speech for granted. Since I knew exactly what I had to do: Take doctor Gero down, like he ordered those people to do to ChiChi.
To my surprise, Doctor Gero went into fits of laughter.
'You are quite amusing. Too bad you don't stand a chance against my great mind.' He smirked again.
'Ok, lets see what great inventions you've got! I'll beat them!' When I said those words, he began laughing again. Was he trying to annoy me?
'You won't stand a chance against my newest invention. I guarantee you won't land a punch on this invention.' He walked in the room, and I followed wanting to prove he was wrong. 'Wait here.' He told me, as he went up the stairs, and sat down. 'Now then, lets see if you can even land a punch.'
'Bring it on, doctor! I'm prepared.'
I saw him push a button, and the door opposite me opened. Clenching my fists, I waited for this new foe to reveal itself. I heard footsteps, and then the thing came out of the shadows. I couldn't believe my eyes!
'ChiChi?' I said, shocked and stunned. She didn't have any emotions at all. There was just a brutal look in her eyes.
'I am Android 25, created by doctor Gero. My mission is to exterminate you.' She stated. She sounded so calm. She started to point at me. This was really eerie, as I focused on her expression. It sent a bizarre feeling right down my spine. I looked over at Doctor Gero. I could tell he was enjoying himself, and just knowing that made me clench my fist with anger.
'This is just the beginning. If you can't get through Android 25, how will you fair against my other mechanical androids?' He asked, grinning at me.
'I'll… find a way!' I shot back at him.
'Hah! Be my guest.'
Turning my attention back to the android ChiChi, I noticed the bored look on her face.
'Are we going to fight today?' She asked, with a glum expression.
'I think we need a time out.' I responded at her.
'Time out?' She blinked and I nodded.
'I'd like to know something.' I said to her.
'What would you like to know..?'
'I'd like to know if you remember life before you were an Android? Is there anything you remember?' There was a lot of hesitation from her as I asked that question. It was like she didn't want to remember, or maybe she did. But she was finding it hard to find the answer. This teared me apart…. I wanted to show her what she was struggling to remember….
A,N: I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. How will Goku face against his own wife? Android 25 doesn't seem to remember Son Goku. But will there be a way for her to remember her true love? The answers will sure be revealed in the next chapter of DBZ! So please come back soon. I will have the next chapter up sooner than this one took. I apologises again for taking for long with this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. If you could take a few minutes to review and let me know what you think of this chapter, it would be appreciated. Many thanks. Bye ^^
