Bouzi Neo: Well hey guys. Since Celeb Ryu did suck a kickass chapter one then I have to do a better chapter two…. In my life. Bah. Well, you'll notice a few things different about how we write. One is that I refer to Android 18 as Juuhachi-Gou and 17 Juuanna-Gou. Goku- Gokou. Bulma (if she ever happens to pop up) Buruma. Vegeta (same) Bejiita. My format's a little bit different but pretty much everything else goes with everything.

Going Against The Plan

By Celeb Ryu & Bouzi Neo

Chapter 2: Last Request

Chi-chi was sitting, looking at a photo album as the food cooked. She stumbled on a picture of her Goku and Gohan.

"We look so happy….." She muttered under her breath.

"So that's what the punk looked like when he was a brat." A voice whispered into her ear.

She let out a scream and looked behind her.

Juuanna-Gou smiled deviously into the eyes that were Son Chichi's. She wasn't such a horrible looking thing, he mused. "I always wanted to know."

Chichi was horrified-she could barely move. Yes, she knew martial arts and could protect herself but how could she? How would she? The androids, look at what they had done to the world! "You……" She gulped, "You get out of this house!"

"Why would he do that?" The sleek voice sent chills down her spine, she looked to see an ice eyed woman, a monster-Juuhachi-Gou.

The last thing she was a fist coming out at her and the taste…. The taste of blood as his fist connected with her feeble human body.

Gohan sped as fast as he could. His mother! Oh, to see mother again! He loved the woman so dearly. Hated hurting her. But he had to fight.

He sighed. He hoped she'd understand one day.

There was a shriek, his heart skipped a beat and his breath stopped for a moment. Was it in his mind? Or was it because of android attack?

He looked around. No destruction, just quiet. Sheer, painful quiet. He had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling.

He hurried out towards Mount Paozu. Didn't know why……

Just a bad feeling.

"Grandfather!" He ran to the side of the old, portly man, laying on his side in a pool of his own blood, "Oh no, oh no, oh, no….. Grandfather?"

He coughed, turning over and beaming at Gohan through broken glasses, "Go…..han?"

"Yes, Grandfather." Gohan nodded, "I'm here."

"Chi….." He coughed.

His grandson patted his back ever so gently, even for Saiyajin strength, "Be still, Grandfather. Rest."

"No.." The man sternly protested, "Chichi, gone…."

It only took a moment for Gohan's fears to redevelop inside his mind, "What? What about Mother? Where did she go? Is she alright?" The questions raced along with his mind. Oh, oh… mother..

"They….. took her."

"Who? Who took her?" He held his grandfather, surveying the once humble house. The lamps, thrown over. Pots, pans, thrown around, his mother's soup on the floor. He tore a piece of fallen curtain and tried to wipe his grandfather's face off, trying to calm him even though the young man himself knew there was now no way to calm himself.

The Ox King closed his eyes. What a dishonorable way to die. Slowly, though he was too shamed, for he hadn't been able to protect the household or his daughter, to look in his grandson's eyes, his eyelids fluttered and his eyes began to roll back.

"Grandfather!" Gohan was close to tears, "No….." His voice was a whisper. Like a child…. "No…."

"Gohan, listen to me. I don't have much time left….."

"No… I'll save you." He couldn't stop the tears now. His voice hoarse, all he could say, "No…"

"Listen, Gohan." The old man whispered, "The androids took her-Chichi. They took her, Gohan. You've got to save her. Promise me you'll save your mother. And beat them, Gohan. You beat those androids…" He gasped, it hurt to talk, "Don't you let them kill you, too."

Gohan was helpless. How could he promise something so big when he felt so small?

"You're the last hope, Gohan." He flinched, breathing. All he had to do…. "I see him, Gohan…"

"Who?"

"I see him…. he's telling me to tell you hello, that he's proud of you…. He's saying it's my time to go…."

"Who?" Gohan held onto the man with all tenderness he could.

"Your….. father….."

Gohan flinched. "No… tell him to go away! It's not your time! Stop it!"

"But it is…. I see her too……."

For a moment he went cold. His mother? "Wh….who?" He quivered out.

"Your grandmother." His voice so soft….. dazed….

"Grandmother?"

"Yes, she's so beautiful…… did anyone tell you what she looked like?" Gohan shook his head, but the man didn't see him, "Just like your mother…… just like your mother….. you've got to save her…. Go…haaannnnnnn…." His voice creaked, until Gohan felt the man's voice, and life force slip away into the darkness….
