A,N: Thanks so much: Kate, Ciily Siyn, Anime Sakura Chan and DarkWolf88 for reviewing my previous chapter. It meant a lot to me, and it's really appreciated ^_^ So thanks! Oh, and DarkWolf88, in answer to your review, I'm planning on doing flashbacks on as many chapters as I can. ^^ So I hope you won't mind this format. Oh, and this chapter will have a flashback too, not in Goku's POV. But I have made sure I've labelled that it isn't in Goku's POV. Anyway, lets get started with this chapter. I hope you all enjoy it.
Chains of Darkness
Chapter four- Unexpected turn of events
Quote: "Even in this time of darkness, light will still shine through."
Standing in front of ChiChi, I knew I could never fight her. No, not even if she was taken over by that monster, Doctor Gero. There had to be another way to beat her. Maybe using words was not a bad idea. It at least gave me some hope, although thinking about hope was not that simple to do, not in this place at least.
'Enough breaks!' She hollered, and leapt straight at me. A high kick just missed my head, as I ducked down. She swung back around and kept trying to kick me. I tried my best to evade the attacks. But in this kind of situation it was very difficult! I got forced into a corner from dodging. Usually it would have been easy to counter back at the villain, but she wasn't a villain- she was my wife! I saw her hand come straight at me, I looked into her eyes and she missed my head. She froze for a second, and backed off.
'Android 25!! I want him eliminated!!' Doctor Gero was bellowing at the top of his lungs. But ChiChi wasn't listening to him at all. Well, I guess getting ordered around by Doctor Gero must have been annoying. I saw the frustrated look on her face, as she turned around and faced her so-called creator. 'Don't you look at me like that!! I created you, and could quite easily take away your life!'
'You already did that, didn't you Doctor!?' I shouted at him. 'You took away my wife, and turned her into a monster!!'
Not wasting anytime, I leapt straight up at Doctor Gero. I Built up a blast and got ready to fire it at him. But before I could, I felt a hand on my arm.
'Android 24, at your service Doctor.'
'What are you talking about Krillin?' I blinked at him.
'Android 24? I thought Android 24 was destroyed a long time ago..' Doctor Gero looked confused. He wasn't alone on that one; Krillin didn't have an impassive look like ChiChi had. Maybe this was a plan. I hoped anyway.
'Erm… Uh.. No! I'm uhh, Android 24, I managed to survive, erm, well whatever I had to face!' Krillin babbled.
'Very well, you depose of him then!' Doctor Gero ordered. (I don't think he took on board what Krillin just babbled at him!)
'Yes sir. Um, I'll depose of him outside.' Krillin pulled me out of the room, he waited for the door to shut, and then turned around. 'Oh boy!! Am I glad you weren't turned into an android Goku!!'
'So you're normal?' I blinked at him.
'Of course! Things took a turn for the worse when we woke up at the Kamé house.'
'So what happened? I never knew, all I could remember was being stuck here.' I told Krillin.
'Maybe I should explain..'
(FLASHBACK) (Normal style, not POV)
'Ow..' Yamcha stood up, looking around at the wreckage. Then he turned around and saw all his friends out cold. 'Oh no! Guys!' He began randomly slapping everyone on the face to try and wake them up.
'Ow, you couldn't have been a little more kinder at waking us up then?' Bulma sat up, rubbing her now red cheeks. She looked around and saw her friends now waking up too, also with red cheeks.
'AAH! Gohan! Gohan!' ChiChi started pushing past the others, hearing rather unhappy comebacks from the others (as they got pushed out the way) until she uncovered a very injured Gohan. 'Oh my poor baby!' She cooed, and hugged him.
'Hey guys, I don't mean to be a downer but..' Krillin started.
'What are you talking about? You're always a downer!' Bulma snapped, interrupting Krillin.
'Bulma! Shush!' Yamcha scowled. 'What's up, Krillin?'
'Well.' He began counting heads. 'I don't mean to alarm anyone, but uh… I don't see Goku here!' He yelled.
'Those jerks!!' Yamcha growled. 'Lets go and get him back!'
'Hold it right there. Do you muscle heads even have a plan? No offence, but you lot are bound to get wiped out pretty easily.' Bulma had her arms folded.
Soon everyone made their way to the Capsule Corp. Bulma was down in the lab, and the others were sitting down waiting for her to come up the stairs, so they knew her progress. ChiChi was looking out the window. Her fists clenched ever so slightly. Bulma came up the stairs.
'HEY EVERYONE!!' She hollered, causing Yamcha to jump in surprise. 'Oh Yamcha, don't be such a coward. I'm not that scary. No need to jump out of your skin. Tell him, everyone! Um.. Guys?' She looked around and saw everyone hiding behind their chairs (besides ChiChi and Gohan).
Soon enough, everyone was crowded around a table.
'This is my plan.' She started to go through it, and then got interrupted as they heard the door open. 'Huh?' Bulma looked up. 'ChiChi??' She ran outside and grabbed hold of ChiChi. 'Where are you going?!' She demanded.
'You know exactly where I'm going, to get my husband back!' ChiChi announced.
'You are??' Bulma blinked, not thinking ChiChi as the type to go off and fight terrifying villains.
'Darn right I am!' ChiChi yelled. 'Please take care of Gohan for me!' ChiChi pleaded. Bulma nodded her head, and ChiChi smiled as a sign of gratitude. Before Bulma could say another word, ChiChi took out a capsule, and released it. A hover boat appeared, and she made her way across the sea.
(END OF FLASHBACK) (Back to Goku's POV)
'So that's what happened..' I looked down.
'That's right pal. Bulma then arrived in and told me to go and make sure ChiChi and yourself were ok.' Krillin put his hand on my shoulder. 'But I guess I was too late to help ChiChi..'
'That monster! He killed my wife, and turned her into an android to work for him!' I clenched my fist.
'We need to work out a plan. Maybe there is a way to turn her back to normal.' Krillin looked thoughtful. I looked down in disbelief.
'But she's an android now, she died in my arms. How could we turn her back to normal?' I asked, now looking at Krillin.
'Well, when you tried to talk to her, didn't she looked a little confused?' He asked.
'Now that you mention it, she did stall from time to time.' I remembered.
'Well! I bet we can get her back to normal!!' Krillin said with enthusiasm.
Maybe he was right. After all, this isn't a time to give up hope. ChiChi might be an Android, but I just know there has to be a way to get her memory back. With the thought of my best friend: Krillin helping. This plan sure felt like it could work!
