Chapter 4

The world was crying

18 walked through the streets, not caring about the rain, not caring about the cut on her forehead where the large metal fist had hit. Only one thing mattered to her right now. That she was a murderer. Her own ki blasts had killed her family. Sure, they had been thrown in the way, but it was still her energy. She should have put her family's safety first. And now, they were gone. She had killed them. That was how she saw it. Now, she didn't care about anything. Not even the rain.

Elsewhere (we seem to be going a lot of places

Seventeen flew through the skies and landed at CC. Or, what should have been CC. Now, it was in ruins. He stretched his newest senses, and found a ki signature in the debris. But it wasn't Bulma's. He flew down into the ruins and found the ki coming from behind a large piece of roof. He easily removed it and Dr. Briefs came out. Out of a closet. Out of a closet that was still standing in the ruins. He scanned the closet with his eyes and recognized several very strong materials making it up.

"She's gone" Dr. Briefs said

"Who? Bulma?"

"No, my wife" he replied mournfully

"What happened?" Seventeen asked, slightly relieved to find Bulma hadn't been taken. Who else would guard his mentor while he was out searching for Suno? Suno. The girl whom his mentor was pledged to take care of. Now that Eighter was unable to, he felt a certain duty to search for her. She was also a close friend. One of the few he had. Now, he would find her.

"These large armored machines came barging in here, they took my wife, but could not find me, I was blown back into the closet by the monstrous machine when it crashed through the roof"

"I see" Seventeen said "Hmm" 'That sounds like what happened to Suno. But I can't feel her ki. Lets see, where is Bulma?' he searched but couldn't find Bulma within his ki range. He could feel Vegeta, however. He figured he could piece things together later, though. Right now he needed to find Suno. And possibly, Mrs. Briefs as well.

"Would you mind taking care of this?" Seventeen asked, taking out the box with Eighter's remains

"No, what is it?"

"Eighter, don't touch him" Seventeen replied shortly "I could be gone a while, when Bulma returns could you give these to her?" he asked, handing a small envelope and some plans to him "You can look at the plans if you want, I managed to get a hold of these a while ago. I think you may find them interesting" Dr. Briefs nodded

"Where are you going?"

"I am going to look for a friend" he replied "I'll see you later"

"Good luck in your search" Dr. Briefs called as Seventeen took to the sky. Shortly after, it began to rain. Dr. Briefs went to the closet to wait, hoping Bulma would return soon.

Elsewhere

Trunks and Vegeta flew through the sky, Trunks still clinging to Vegeta's hand. He felt as though he had been left behind, and if he let go his father would leave him too. He sighed mournfully, feeling the current rain was perfect for his mood. He wasn't paying close attention, but vaguely felt Seventeen's energy leaving CC. He knew little of the android, but knew that once upon a time he and Eighteen, or, Ms. Eighteen as he called her, were holy terrors on the planet, and the fabled 'other him' had been terrorized by them, but he didn't have any reason to fear or dislike them. They were good now, and that's what mattered to him. At the moment though, that was far from his mind. He looked to the sky and wondered if the very Earth was mourning its loss.

Elsewhere

As it rained Goku became aware that they were getting wet and had no place to go. He vaguely wondered if they might possibly go to Master Roshi's, but decided against it. There had to be someplace to go. It was certain he couldn't stay there or go to his father in law's. Too many memories he couldn't handle. So, he gathered his sons and they took to the air. There was someplace they could go, he knew, he just had to find it.

Elsewhere

Tien and Yamcha flew to Tien's, where Yamcha had been staying lately, and found a smoking crater. Tien quickly flew to the ground and searched through the ruins. In where the kitchen would be, he found a small hat. He looked at it and shook his head in disbelief. He turned his face to the sky and screamed.

"No! Chiaotzu!" Yamcha walked to his side and patted his shoulder

"I'm gonna' take off" Yamcha said. Tien didn't answer and he took his leave, leaving his friend to join the Earth in its tears.

BM: That's all for this chapter

JJ: Okay, here we go, next chapter
