~~~~~~~~SHE WEPT TEARS PART FOUR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Near the end of that day, after Goku and the others were back on Earth, Goku transported himself to Capsule Corporation to find Bulma. He had to tell her about Vegeta.
"Bulma, you here??" Goku was in very high spirits. He figured everything would be back to normal before too long. He sensed that she was in the basement where she often worked with her Laptop.
He jumped down the stairs two at a time rather than fly, because he was feeling playful. Nothing kept him down for long.
"Bulma??"
He opened the door to the lab, stepping inside just in time to see Bulma cry out as a light green light surrounded her.
"BULMA!!"
But it was too late. She was gone.
~*~
Piccolo arrived at Kami Lookout to find Gohan pacing back and forth, lecturing Goten and Trunks about something. As he got closer, he could make out the words.
"….You guys!!!I TOLD you I had to do something!!!! Why'd you follow me??!!!…Oh, hi Piccolo!!" Gohan noticed his friend's Ki and turned, waving. "Where've you been??"
Piccolo landed by them. "Good news, Gohan. Vegeta's been found….he's fine."
Trunks growled suddenly. "FINE, HUH?! Then WHY did he LEAVE?!? Does he hate us!!!??"
Piccolo looked at him. "No, Trunks. He was taken by someone named Master Sven."
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!MY DAD'S THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE!!!"
"Not the universe, not anymore…" Piccolo said, looking at Gohan to see his reaction.
"New evil huh??? And even harder to beat than Majin Buu??" Gohan was impressed, but not in the least bit worried.
Piccolo grimaced. "You should be scared, Gohan. Even Vegeta was, or at least that's what Goku thinks. He thinks he ISN'T fine, that he's hurt."
"LIAR!!" Trunks was having a fit. " I BET VEGETA HATES MY MOTHER, BRA AND I!!!I BET HE LEFT ON PURPOSE, BECAUSE NOBODY'S STRONGER THAN HIM!!!" With a final glare at Piccolo, the 8 year old flew off into the distance.
There was silence for awhile. Then Gohan had an idea. "Master Sven huh…never heard of him, but maybe Master Roshi has. I mean, maybe they were both "Masters" together or something …."
Piccolo sighed. "Well, we'll probably know in time. Now, would you help me look through the records of the universe, to find out where Master Sven is??"
Goten stepped in. "Gohan!! Mr. Piccolo!!! What about Trunks??? He's mad!!!"
Gohan patted him on the back. "Trunks will be just fine!! He can take care of himself, and I bet he'll be back as soon as his temper cools off."
~*~
Trunks landed a mile away from them, his fists clenched. "Maybe Dad is in trouble…but that's impossible, I know how strong he is!!! He must hate us…" Trunks scowled at the sky. "WELL GUESS WHAT DAD!!!! I DON'T NEED YOU!!!!! GO AHEAD, LEAVE!!IT'S WHAT YOU'RE BEST AT, ISN'T IT!!!!!" Trunks shouted at the clouds, then he headed home to see his mom.
~*~
"She just…vanished??" Chichi asked, eyes wide.
Goku, Chichi, Yamcha, Krillin, Android 18, Master Roshi, and Videl were assembled in the Son living room. Goku had called an emergency meeting, and had just finished telling them about what had happened.
Goku sighed. "Yup, that's what happened….and I don't sense her Ki anywhere…"
"Maybe she's with Vegeta…" Yamcha suggested half-heartedly. No one really thought that's what had happened. But there weren't any other ideas…except that maybe Master Sven had taken her.
Master Roshi's eyebrows raised at the mention of Master Sven. Only #18 noticed.
"So...what should we do??" Yamcha asked uncertainly. Not only was Vegeta gone, but so was Bulma.
Chichi glowered at him. "Why do you care, you cheated on Bulma when you went out with her!!!" She stormed.
"Chichi, please." Videl tried to calm her. Videl was one of Chichi's favorite people. "That's in the past now, let's focus on the present and future."
"Good idea Videl…except that maybe the past IS the key to this." #18 said calmly. "Master Roshi, you know who Master Sven is, don't you." She said it as a statement.
Master Roshi looked away. "Not telling."
"Oh PLEASE." #18 glared at him. "Don't act like such a child."
"That was harsh, honey.." Krillin said. She glared at him. "But, ehehe, he probably deserved it if he knows anything."
Chichi decided to step in. "MASTER ROSHI, YOU TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW OR I'LL KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF!!!!!!!!"
Master Roshi looked at her shaking fists, then at #18's icy blue eyes as she glared at him. "O-ok…" He stuttered, coughing a little. "You guys know I've been around a long time…well…uhh…you see, it's like this…"
"STOP STALLING!" Chichi screeched.
"Ok ok…my grandfather told me stories of this one guy who showed up at one of the Master Tournaments. His name was, as you've probably guessed, Master Sven…he was a cruel looking man, with unusual glowing eyes that flashed red or black at times….scared the heck outta my grandfather!! Ehehe!!! Anyway, he won the tournament, no sweat…and then he disappeared….just…vanished…"
The uncanny coincidence sent shivers down everyone's spine. The fact that Bulma had vanished too….
"Well, that doesn't mean it's the same guy…or that he took her…" Goku said nervously.
"Well, what other possibility is there?" #18 said coolly. "But there is one question, why would Master Sven take both of them??? What purpose does he have??"
Goku looked at her seriously. " Maybe he needs them, or just Vegeta, for something….like power.."
"Oh, spare me." #18 flipped her hair. "This just makes my day…."
"Hey…has anyone seen Goten or Trunks??" Chichi said, glaring at everyone like it was their fault they were gone.
Everyone answered in the negative, which started Chichi going. "Where are they!!! Someone has to go find my baby!!!He could be lost…frightened!!!"
Goku pulled Chichi to him. "Chichi," He tried to soothe her, "Goten can take care of himself, you know. He may only be 7 years old, but he's already a Super-Saiyan!! As is Trunks!!"
Chichi glared at him, then kissed him. "You'd better go look for them anyway!!" She said. "Got it!?!"
He nodded, leaning down for another kiss, much to Krillin and Master Roshi's open amusement. #18 glared at the laughing men, which made them laugh even harder.
"Allright guys!" Goku said good-naturally. "Let's go to the boys!!!"
~*~
"RAHHHHHHHHH!" Vegeta's mind had been tormenting him about Bulma, Trunks, Kakkarot, and the others. But now he was able to use that power and break free of everything…his family, his good feelings, everything except the room…. He turned Super-Saiyan, and ran at the door in pure rage. And amazingly, it broke down.
"Hmmph. Guess this place is for weaklings after all." Vegeta knew deep down that Sven was unlike any other creature he'd ever seen…well, in some ways like Babidi, the wizard. Because of his magic. But it was at least millions of times stronger than Babidi's….Well I'll leave the dirty work to that clown Kakkarot….he always likes to play hero doesn't he?? Hehe…I'll just settle down somewhere where no one else is….that way I can be alone, like I was before any of this happened…. Chuckling softly to himself, he walked down the hallway he was in, turning right into…. Bulma and Sven.
~*~
Bulma was as surprised as Goku when she'd been transported to Master Sven's ship…he had told her that her husband had left her a note because of guilt, but actually hated her. She hadn't believed it, so he offered to show her himself. His eyes were glowing red, full of evil, but Bulma wasn't scared. She knew the Z Fighters always came out on top…of course, if Vegeta really did hate her….
She didn't know if she could handle it.
Sure, she could handle thinking that it might happen, but it couldn't really be true. It just couldn't.
Then Master Sven (he had told her his name) led her through a maze of hallways and rooms, finally turning a corner and bumping right into a very pist-off Saiyan.
Sven smiled coldly at him. "Well well, if it isn't our favorite Saiyan… planning on leaving your wife and kids aren't you??"
Vegeta was surprised that Sven knew. But the rage that had been building ever so steadily since he'd been here made him go wild. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW, SVEN!!!! YOU WERE SO SCARED OF ME YOU HAD TO HAVE YOUR TWO BODYGUARDS BEAT ME UP!! WITH ME DEFENSELESS!"
"They're not with me now, are they?" Sven asked, his smirk growing wider and his red eyes glowing.
"No, they're not….and what were you doing with my wife???"
"What business is it of yours, you don't care about her."
At this, Vegeta went out of control, letting loose a blast of energy that almost hit Bulma, who got out of the way just in time. Master Sven hit the blast that was coming to him, and Vegeta felt a drain of his power. He didn't know how it was happening, but it was a drain just the same.
Then Vegeta saw the scared look in Bulma's beautiful eyes, and he had to force himself to look away from her, to keep his eye on Sven. Oh Bulma….what were you doing with Master Sven?? Did he make you scared of me?? Suddenly he remembered what he had done.
He had almost hit her with one of his own blasts.
~*~
"Got it!!" Gohan said excitedly. "Master Sven is in Flarn, a galaxy only a few billion light years away."
"Only?" Piccolo said dryly. "Well we'd better get a move on…Gohan, go get your father, it's time to go."
"What about me? Can I come?" Goten asked hopefully.
Gohan patted his head. "Nope, sorry Goten… this is too dangerous for you…"
Goten pouted. "I'm strong!!! Really I am!!!"
Piccolo chuchkled. "I know, Goten…but we can't risk your life, Gohan's life, and Goku's life. Chichi would freak out."
Goten was quiet for a moment. "Yeah…I guess you're right…but I want a full report when you get back!!"
"You got it." Gohan grinned at him as he flew down to Earth to find his dad.
~*~
Goku, Krillin, and Videl were out looking for Trunks and Goten when Gohan found them and filled them in on where Sven was and that Trunks was "a little mad," and had flown off, and that Goten was safe with Piccolo. Suddenly, a wide eyed Trunks flew up to them at lightning speed.
"Everyone….do you know where my mom is??" Trunks asked.
Goku and Krillin exchanged looks. Then Goku told both Trunks and Gohan what had happened when he'd gotten to the Brief's house.
"Well then I'm coming with you guys!!" Trunks yelled when he found out where they were going. "Mom might need me!"
"She may not be there." Goku said quietly.
Trunks looked at him, finally lowering his head. "Oh allright…I'll stay…"
Piccolo and Goten landed by the group. "Who's going?" Piccolo asked.
"I know I am, if Gohan is." Videl said in her don't-mess-with-me tone of voice.
"Sorry Videl, this enemy is much tougher than Majin Buu." Piccolo said.
"Well, I never got to fight Majin Buu did I?? Because I hadn't adjusted to the harsh winds in the air when flying quickly….but now I can do it, I've been practicing in space. I can handle a hundred times earth's gravity now." Videl said proudly.
Goku was impressed. "A hundred times huh??? Only Super- Saiyans can do that."
"Well as far as I know, I'm no Super-Saiyan." Videl smirked. "But I want to come."
"Maybe next time, Videl…it might be a thousand times Earth's gravity there…we can just barely handle that, and we ARE Super-Saiyans…" Gohan said softly, touching her shoulder with his hand.
She looked at him. "Gohan…"
He kissed her, holding her to him as he signaled for his dad and Piccolo to head out. They did, and so did #18 and Krillin. Trunks sat glowering at everybody, and Goten just watched.
"Bye Videl…I love you…" Gohan whispered in her ear.
She closed her eyes. "I love you too Gohan…"
"So stay here, all right?? Please?"
She was quiet, but when he released her and flew after the others, she didn't follow. Not until they were out of sight did she move, turning to Goten and Trunks.
"Well, what do you say, guys??? Are you coming with me to Flarn??"
They grinned at her. "OH BOY!!! YEAH!!"
"Well, first of all, you'll have to be quiet if we're going to follow them…and is it true that Saiyans can keep their Ki really low so no one knows they're there?"
"WE can!!! And we'll make yours low too!!!"
She smirked. "Great…cause I'm not one to just sit around doing nothing."
"Yeah, you'd rather kiss Gohan!!AHAHAHAHAHA!!"
She glared at them. "Shut up…and let's go."
They flew up into the sky, a safe distance behind the already-disappeared fighters. They could sense the others's Ki, so they didn't need to see them.
