Hi, this is my next chapter of Loss. Been a long time, I know. Hope it's up

Oh thank you for the great reviews! I love each and every one of them. Remember to keep sending them in!

Chapter 9
The woman looked down at the young boy, she felt her heart swell with sympathy for the young child. He was so young, and his spirit was broken, he didn't deserve such harshness.
"Look Vik, you have to get by me if you gonna harm one hair on that boy!" She snarled at the man with a burst of anger.
Then she continued in a softer tone, even as the young child continued to sob.
"Can't you see he's been through enough! Now untie him!"
"But . . ."
"No buts!" She snapped
"Damn Women!" Muttered Vik, untied the boy, who's sobbing had subsided and angrily walked to the corner of the room and crossed his arms in defeat.
She pushed a green bang from her face, and tucked it behind her ear, and bent to Gohan's level, and gently lay a hand on the young saiyan's shoulder.
"Shhh! It's Ok . . . what's you're name, little one?"
She heard Vik snort on the other side of the room, and she abruptly sent him an angry glare, then lay her gentle gaze on Gohan. With the sound of the woman's gentle voice, Gohan then looked at her questionably.
"My . . . my name's Gohan." He replied, while rubbing his wet eyes with shame.
She smiled at the timid boy softly, and gently ruffled the boy's messy hair.
"My name's Beta."
Vik snorted once again, earning him everyone's attention. He smiled at the saiyan boy sarcastically.
"What sort of Saiyan name is Gohan?"
"It isn't. It's Japanese." Replied Gohan darkly, then continued.
"I'm half saiyan, half human."
Vik's eyes widened briefly, his sarcastic smile gone, then looked at the child sceptically.
"Oh really! It's an offence for Saiyan's to have half-breed offspring's. And you killed your own father who kept you, eh?"
Gohan growled slightly at the thought of Nappa been his father.
"That bald headed freak of a monster is not my father! MY father is great! He'd never hurt anyone."
"So where's your Dad?" He growled back, earning him a hard glare from Beta.
"I . . . I don't know. I was kidnapped from my home by the Saiyan's and I don't know if my Dad alive to help me!"
Vik looked startled at the emotion of pain, in the youngster's eyes, and then they finally softened in belief. Beta wrapped her arms in a hug around him, and stroked his head gently, immediately reminding Gohan of his mother. He hardened his eyes from the sudden urge to free his remaining tears and quietly endured the gentle stroking.
Suddenly he heard the blipping of his scouter, and his eye's widened in startlement. He jumped up from Beta's secure arms, startling the entire group of people.
"You got to leave! They're coming!"
The small group of people, screamed in panic and readily began to flee.
"Wait!" Yelled Vik suddenly.
"We can use the new spaceship in Doctor Neo's building, we can escape with it!"
Everyone stopped they're attempt at fleeing and all ran to building were they're only hope for living lay. Midway running Gohan stopped, then looked towards the direction of the remainder of the Saiyan's, then grimaced. Beta and Vik stopped, and looked at boy questionably.
"What's wrong, Gohan?" Muttered Vik, slightly out of breath.
"You leave on the ship, and head for the nearest planet, I'll take care of the saiyans!"
"We can't! We can't leave you!" Wailed Beta.
Gohan's eye's softened, then hardened at the young women.
"You have to! You'll have no chance of leaving otherwise."
Beta got ready to drag the boy from his collar, when Vik lay a strong hand on her shoulder.
"Go to the ship, Beta!"
"But . . ."
"Remember, no buts. Go!"
With one last look on Gohan, she ran to the ship with the others. Vik look hard upon Gohan, then his gaze softened.
"Thanks for saving what's left of us boy."
Gohan blushed slightly, and was startled when he felt Vik slip something onto his neck.
"This is for you Gohan. It's a necklace that represents my people, The Braskans. Only friends of our race wear this."
Gohan looked at the necklace in awe. Engraved on it was a sphere that represented a planet in gold and in the centre, the shape of a tree in silver. In the centre of that, was a beautiful emerald.
"Thank you . . . you better go." Whispered Gohan.
Vik nodded almost reluctantly, and ran to where the others were.
Gohan turned his back on them, and looked into the skies were he saw the two saiyans approach the location from the horizon. His eyes hardened to ice chips, and he pushed his fear away. This was no time to be afraid; people were depending on him.
He stood unnerved as the saiyans eventually landed with a loud thud in front of him, and just stared hard at them, as they look at him questionably.
"Where's Nappa, half-breed?" Barked Vegeta, raising his eyebrow suspiciously.
"He's dead. I sent him to hfil." Gohan replied smirking at him coldly.
Both Saiyan's eyes widened dramatically, and then the Saiyan Prince looked at the boy coolly, with disbelieving eyes.
"You! You killed Nappa! I think not. Nappa is an Elite, a weakling half- breed like you couldn't scratch him!" Muttered Raditz, with crossed arms.
Gohan growled and his hands clenched in anger. How dare the fool belittle him. With his anger his ki rose significantly, causing Raditz eyes to widen in shock.
"Not so sure of yourself now, Uncle. You should have kept track of my progress. I don't care whether you believe that I killed Nappa or not, cause I'm gonna make you sorry for ever kidnapping me!"
The familiar yellow glow surrounded him, giving a feeling of absolute strength. Gohan pressed his wrist against one another, mimicking what he had watched his father had done many times, a kamehameha wave.
"Ka!"
"Me!"
"Hame!" Gohan smirked.
"HA!"
And he let the wave go, blasting his gob-smacked 'uncle' straight to hfil. Vegeta just managed to jump sideways, away from the blast, just in time. Leaving Vegeta looking at him with fearful eyes at the living legend before him. The legend of the Super Saiyan.
Goku pressed his face against the glass window of the spaceship, and stared at the green planet before them. He couldn't wait to land, he felt so claustrophobic from been on the spaceship for so long. And he couldn't wait to get his son back safe at home studying like his mother always wanted him to.
"You okay, man?" Muttered a voice from behind him.
Goku turned around startled and standing in front of him was none other than his short best friend, Krillin. Goku nodded in response to Krillin's question rather unconvincingly.
"It'll be okay, Pal! We'll get Gohan back, and everything will be back to normal, you see?" Reassured the short guy.
Goku turned back to the glass window, and sighed.
"I suppose so." Replied the full-blooded saiyan, while staring at the planet in hope.
Back on Earth . . .
A young woman and a large man stood in grassy lands before a house, watching with a sense of longing at the stars in the skies.
"Oh! I hope Goku finds my baby soon, and bring him home. I miss them both so much!" Whispered the Ox Princess, while her father held her shoulder with a reassuring large hand.
Vegeta closed his eyes and awaited death, from the young child, who bared a power he did not have. He gritted his teeth with the thought. A saiyan child, a half-breed at that, had managed to surpass him, in becoming the legend he had always dreamed of becoming.
Tears came to his eyes. He was a failure. He failed his people. He even failed in becoming strong enough to defeat the monster that haunted his dreams and killed his people. He was no prince of Saiyans.
Still death did not come, and slowly the Prince of Saiyans, opened his eyes to see the boy still before him, with the golden glow still around him. He looked at the boy's eyes and saw horror. The boy was afraid of what he had become. Afraid that he had turned into a monster himself.
For the first time in his life, Vegeta felt regret and guilt. He had been the same as Frieza. He had torn a happy boy from his family and made him fight, just like Frieza had done to him. He was no different than the monster he has hated his entire life.
He was startled out of his thoughts, at the sound of a loud thundering engine from a building nearby. He watched in awe, as the building crumbled, leaving a spaceship in sight.
He watched as the spaceship pushed against gravity, up to space slowly. Vegeta registered the shock on the boy's face, when he took no action against the Spaceship. Let them live. They deserved it.
"Boy . . . go home, before it's too late." Muttered Vegeta absently.
"But Frieza . . ."
"Doesn't matter about Frieza!" Barked the Saiyan.
"He'll kill you Vegeta, Why are you letting me go?" Whispered the boy.
"Because you deserve a life much better than this. If I take that away any more than I have. I'll just be as bad as Frieza! Just leave boy!"
"No!" Screamed Gohan, before continuing calmly.
"He's the reason so many people have died! I can't go on knowing I could have done some thing! He killed our people! And I'll make him pay!"
He looked at the boy in shock, and for the first time in many years, gave a genuine smile.
"For a half-breed. You'd make an excellent elite."
Gohan looked surprised at the compliment, and smiled back at the older Saiyan. While Vegeta smile turned into a smirk when he thought of Frieza's death. He sure in hfil deserved it.
"We better get to Namek and kill the b@st@rd, then boy. We'll be there in a few hours from here. Then you'll defeat Frieza, and I'll take you home." Muttered Vegeta, while pressing a few buttons on a remote control, for retrieval of the space pods.
Gohan nodded in agreement, and both awaited the arrival of the space pods in anticipation.
Goku walked off the platform onto the green planet in awe, and immediately began to use his ki senses to search the planet for life signs. He felt many life sign's on the planet but one stuck out from the rest. It was dark and huge, and made his stomach churn.
That must have been Frieza. Goku shuddered at the amount of power that was emitting from him, and hoped to Kami, that Gohan was alright.
Gohan felt a shudder of disgust as he looked at the vile lizard like creature before him. The evil radiating off him was fantastic and sickening. He was sure, Vegeta felt the same way.
The two had just arrived on the planet, and were immediately called to report to 'Lord' Frieza at once.
The White lizard began to circle them, in a menacing manner, and fought the urge to kill the creature. They agreed to wait till the time was right, and that time had not come.
"I heard a spaceship managed to escape from the planet you were meant to purge. What happened!"
"They managed to kill Nappa and Raditz, and escaped, we failed in stopping them." Replied the Saiyan in a monotone voice.
"So you basically LET them get away!" Growled the lizard.
"I take full responsibility, Lord Frieza."
Gohan looked at the older saiyan in surprise, but his face remained cool on the outside. Frieza smirked at the duo, and stared hard.
"You do understand someone must be punished . . ."
"Yes, sir."
Vegeta grimaced, and tensed as he awaited the punishment that he usually got, which was usually a severe beating to not only his physical self, but also his pride.
In quicker than a flash, the lizard like creature disappeared and re- appeared behind Gohan, giving him an elbow in the spine, a punch, cracking several ribs, and a slash of his tail across his jaw
Gohan choked on blood and tried to ignore the searing pain that was across his jaw, and the terrible pain that shot up his spine and ribs.
"The boy has taken your punishment. You're lucky I'm in a good mood, monkey prince, or it would have been you. Now take the monkey brat to the regeneration tank, course you can leave him in pain if you want."
Vegeta suppressed a growl, and gently lifted the boy off the floor, and began the long walk to the regeneration tanks. Poor boy, he came back for this.
Chichi dropped the plate she was holding, and for some reason felt a slight pain across the side of her jaw. She rubbed it slightly, and aruptly the pain went away. What happened? Had something happened to Gohan? She hoped to Kame that was right.
She bent down to the floor and sighed, and began to carefully pick up the demolished plate, while holding back her tears.
'Be safe my little one . . . '
He stared at his image in the mirror of his room, and delicately traced the scar on the lower part of his jaw. The ugly monster was stronger than he thought, and he didn't know if he had the strength to beat him. Maybe he should have left while he could. No, he wasn't a coward, and there was no way that he was going to let more innocent people die.
He grimaced and abruptly left the room in search of the Saiyan Prince, it was time for their afternoon spar.

The ugly monster was stronger than he thought, and he didn't know if he had the strength to beat him. Maybe he should have left while he could. No, he wasn't a coward, and there was no way that he was going to let more innocent people die.
