A,N: Ok, thanks again everyone who has reviewed my last chapter. It is really appreciated. And it's good to find new people reading my story too ^_^. This next chapter took quite a bit of planning to do. But it's finally up! Yay, lol! ^_^ Sorry it took so long.
Chains of Darkness
Chapter Six: Explosive showdown
Quote: "Round 2, and this time no time outs!!"
I stood next to Krillin. Watching ChiChi face my friend: Yamcha. He was looking confused at the sudden words ChiChi had said to him. I didn't blame him for being so bemused, after all, he had absolutely no idea what Doctor Gero had done to her.
'Heh, come on, why don't you fight me? After all, I plan to show no mercy to you!' She cackled at Yamcha. But he just went backwards, as ChiChi pursued him. I started to get angry, and Krillin could see, since he put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him.
'No Goku, not yet.' He whispered to me.
'Why not?! She's not planning on showing him even the slightest shred of mercy! Do you really think Yamcha has the heart to fight, when he has no idea what has got into her!?' I shouted at Krillin, and I could see he wanted to say something else, but got caught off guard when a smack to his neck sent him flying into a wall. Turning around I saw that guard I met before, when I was in the dungeon. He still had that smug grin on his face.
'You weren't teaming up with anyone were you? Namely him.' He motioned at Krillin. 'Well, we'll have to see about that. And after I've beaten you, I'll be sure to have you begging for mercy.' He smirked.
'You think you can take me on? Well, anything is possible, I guess. But now that my friends are here, I don't plan on giving up till I succeed!' I faced him, going into my fighting stance. It's been ages since I've gone into my stance, and it made apart of me feel happy.
'Heh, come on then.' His hand was up in the air. I flew straight at him, and punched him right in the face. He staggered back a few feet, wiping the blood off his face. 'Not bad.' He glared, and ran straight at me. Putting his fist back ready to punch, I countered and we punched at the same time. I didn't budge, but he was sent flying into the wall. Well, I should actually say through the wall. There was a huge hole now in the wall. It must have really hurt him; he didn't get up.
I turned my attention back to ChiChi and Yamcha. She had him pinned against the wall. He couldn't even move!
'Hey! Leave Yamcha alone!' I shouted, and she turned around.
'Oh don't worry. Everyone has a go.' She smirked at me, and released Yamcha. He fell to the ground.
'How dare you do that to Yamcha!' I yelled, and glared.
'I show no mercy to anyone.' She scowled.
'You're just a heartless beast then!!' I hollered and then she scowled even more.
'I am a lot of things. But when is an elegant lady like me a monster!?'
'You're not elegant! ChiChi was, but she would never have hurt any of her friends! Um, that much anyway!' I said, walking forward at her. I looked over at Krillin and he was helping Yamcha up. 'Guys, you two go to a safe distance.' I told them, turning around I didn't see Doctor Gero anywhere. Maybe he ran away, anyway, I had to worry about this Android who was in front of me. Krillin and Yamcha ran out the way, and I faced her.
She could not get away with harming anyone. I had to remember that she wasn't my wife. No she was a person who had been changed by Doctor Gero. She wasn't ChiChi at all. I had to remember that ChiChi departed from this world. Maybe then, I could harness the power I needed to beat her.
The two of us faced one another. Launching a head on attack, we punched and kicked one another. She was a tough opponent. It wasn't that easy to evade her attacks, and several of her attacks were really painful. Especially to the face, and stomach. After we punched at the same moment, both of us landed a few feet from each other.
She was panting, and staring. That look in her eyes I will never forget. Her look was full of fear. Fear that she was going to be destroyed. Shaking it off, and putting my hands back, she fell down on her knees. Walking over to her, I looked down at her.
'Do what you want. I'm useless..' She sulked. 'I felt your power increase.. And I know that would be enough to send me into oblivion..' She turned her head towards the ground.
'That's not true.. You're not useless!' I told her. She looked up. I lent my hand out, but she turned away.
'Why? Why are you being so kind? Just destroy me!' She hollered, tears going down her face.
'I… I can't do it!' Shaking my head. I took her hand.
'Why not? I would have destroyed your friends if you hadn't stepped in! Do you really think I should be given any mercy!? I am a monster. You even called me it. And monsters shouldn't be given any sort of mercy!!' She scowled, half crying and half angry.
Staring down at her. I had to show her that I could not destroy her, for she resembled ChiChi- the one person I loved.
