Chapter 9

"Ouch! You stepped on my foot!"

"Shhh" Lumina put her ear back on the door, trying to listen to every word of their conversation. Zennie and Lumina were huddled in a dark shed outside, trying to spy on Vegeta and Spazer. They were very lucky no one noticed them sneaking in there.

"Zennie! That was my foot!"

"You stepped on my foot first! It's so dark in here!"

"Be quiet or they'll hear us!"

"But-"

"So, you agree something's up?" Spazer's voice said from outside the shed. The two became quiet instantly, eager to hear.

"Indeed." Vegeta's voice replied. "There is no way that guy in there could be Gohan."

Spazer nodded. "I agree. I may not know this guy, but there's definitely something weird about him."

"I've known that boy for a long time. I can tell he's acting weird."

"I figured that. I've only heard stories from Kibito Kai about the Z-sword and Baby and Pan..."

"Funny you should mention that. For Gohan remembers none of it."

Spazer paused. "None of it?" He asked suspiciously.

"Nope. None of it."

"None of it." Zennie repeated. "How can that be possible?"

"I don't know." Lumina whispered back. "Maybe...amnesia?"

Zennie shrugged.

"The moment I saw him alone on that planet raised my suspicions." Vegeta continued.

"Yes...yes of course. And the fact that I was not alerted that they brought him back. I didn't even know they had collected the Dragon Balls again." Spazer began slowly pacing back and forth.

"Another interesting thing, about that." Lumina heard bushes near by rustling. It sounded like some one was digging in them.

"Hm? What is it Vegeta?"

"This." Zennie and Lumina both pushed and shoved each other in order to look through a small crack in the door. Lumina gasped.

Spazer's eyes were wide as he eyed what Vegeta had in his hand.

"O...O my...they're right!" Lumina whispered. "He couldn't be Gohan..."

"Let me see!" Zennie attempted to push Lumina out of the way but was unsuccessful.

In Vegeta's hand was a dragon ball. "There is no way he was wished back if I still have the Dragon ball!"

"How...how long have you had that there?" Spazer had the tiny dragon ball in his hand surveying it.

"Ever since Goku came back."

"Than...than...Gohan's a fraud?"

"Let me see!" Zennie shoved a powerful blow into Lumina with his elbow.

Spazer tossed the small dragon ball back to Vegeta and was about to ask him another question when he was interrupted by a crashing sound. At that moment it became clear that their secret conversation was no longer secret.

Zennie got to see what it was Vegeta had alright, and it was a much better view than Lumina's had been.

Both Spazer and Vegeta's head had turned in the direction of the crashing noise to see the old shed in the garden with one of its walls knocked out and laying on the ground. And who else was standing there looking confused than Zennie, who was still in shock that he had actually knocked the wall down.

"Lumina...?" Zennie eyed the plaster laying on the ground and began slowly picking each piece up searching for his missing friend

Vegeta cleared his throat. Zennie, who had forgotten the fact that Spazer and Vegeta were there, slowly moved his head up towards their direction. Vegeta stood there with a scowl on his face, arms folded. Spazer was smiling, laughing and shaking his head at the same time, hands on his hips.

Zennie's face turned red with embarrassment. "Uh....heh heh?" He waved through the rather large hole in the side of the old shed before turning away looking very sorry.

"Heh heh is right," Spazer said. Zennie was very surprised to see Spazer laughing instead of yelling. A Kai spirit he may be, but he was still just a teenager who could find something funny out of every serious occasion.

Vegeta on the other hand didn't look as forgiving. "Where's the girl?"

"Uh..." Zennie looked at him stupidly.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "I suspect she's with you?"

Zennie pointed towards the side of the shed lying on the ground. Moaning noises could be heard very faintly from underneath and there was movement coming from underneath the rubble that was left from the wall. An arm stuck out and moved aside a rather large piece of wall from atop of her body. "Oh...my head..." Lumina's head poked out. She looked like she was in pain as she rubbed her head.

Spazer looked worried. "You ok?" He stepped forward towards her, but Vegeta put his hand on his shoulder.

"She's a Saiyan, she can handle it."

"Umm..." Zennie had no clue what to say.

An angry scowl came across Lumina's face, "Zennie you dolt! Look what you did! ...in fact...I didn't know you had that much power in you."

"Ummm...Lumina..."

"What!?"

"Behind you..."

It took a few seconds before Lumina finally realized what he meant by behind her and slowly turned around.

"Damn, looks like you blew our cover."

"You got that right." Vegeta said.

Some place somewhere...

Kali looked around to see nothing but darkness. She grew worried for a second, but than laughed at herself. Her eyelids were shut.

Than she remembered. The thing! That creature that had attacked her! Where was it? But her eyes had been shut. Had it all been a horrible dream? ...or was she actually dead or something?

She sprang her eye lids open, and found herself staring at the bright sun. The heat felt so good on her body. Stretching out her arms and leg, she turned and saw a single tree. Must have been a dream, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She closed her eyes again, laughing at herself for believing in a stupid dream.

Huh? Her eyes snapped open...again. The Planet of the Kai's had no Sun! Kali stared at the sky, searching for the normal moons that usually hovered there, but she found none. Panicked with worry, she sat up straight, searching the area. All she saw was a tree next to her. She herself was sitting on a grassy field that disappeared into fog a few feet away. It made her feel like she was stranded on an island in the middle of a sea...except the sea happened to be fog.

"Where...am...I?" She stood up, and walked into the mysterious fog. Maybe someone was here, some one she could ask for help.

"HELLO! KIBITO KAI? OLD KAI?" She paused for an answer. None came. "...anyone?" This place creeped her out. What if she was walking into a trap or something, for all she could see was fog. Not even her fingers in front of her face were visible.

"Hey! Over here!" a young male's voice shouted.

Kali grinned and turned around. A figure was standing in the distance, near the tree she had first woken up by. By the voice, she was guessing it was Spazer.

"I'm coming!" She began to run. Yes, it had just been a dream. And all this...she should have known...another one of Spazer's jokes. "Spazer you dope! This is such a lame prank."

"Huh?"

Kali laughed as she got closer to him. "Don't play stupid with me Spaz! Some trick getting me lost on our own planet! Hey, how'd ya make a sun-" Kali stopped. The man she was now looking at was indeed not Spazer.

"Hey, you don't want to get lost out there." He grinned and put out his hand for her to shake. Kali paused. Who was this man? He did look somewhat familiar though. Especially the Lavender hair and the way his face looked, sort of like Vegeta.

"Hey? Something the matter with my hand?" Trunks stupidly stared at his hand.

"Hahahah! Looks like you've frightened her Trunks!" A girl appeared from behind the tree.

Trunks blushed. "Quit it Pan."

"Hahahaha!" she laughed. "Hey, don't be frightened by him."

"P...P...Pan?"

"Yeah, that's my name."

"I know about you! And Trunks!"

Pan stared at her funny. "...uh...have we met or something?"

"Oh, uh, no...I've just heard from Kibito Kai and Vegeta and Goku."

"Vegeta? That's my father!" Trunks exclaimed. "That's how she knows us! Remember Pan? Vegeta being wished immortal?"

She trailed off. "Goku too you say?"

"Yeah!" Kali said. "We wished him back not too long ago."

"Really? He was my grandfather...wish I could see him again..." Pan played with her bandana.

"Hey Pan! Guess what!" Trunks shouted from behind Kali, making her jump. She had not noticed him walking behind her surveying her outfit. "Guess what she is?"

"What?" Pan asked.

"Huh?" Kali asked confused. "Whaddaya mean what am I?"

"She's a Kai!"

"Really?"

"Oh that."

"Look at her earrings!"

"Are those potaras?!"

"Ummm...yeah." Kali never had anyone make a big deal out of her earrings before.

"No wonder she knows Goku, Vegeta, and Kibito Kai!"

"Hey, what's your name kid?"

"Me?" Kali replied. "Oh, Kali. I'm a Supreme West Kai in training."

"Finally they got new ones! I thought they never would." Trunks grinned. "ya know...I saw Kibito Kai when he was still Supreme Kai!"

"Really?" This was interesting to Kali. Kibito Kai rarely ever talked about when he hadn't been fused.

"Yeah!"

"That's so awesome! He rarely ever mentions anything back at home..." She paused. "So where am I anyways? I mean, aren't you two dead?

Both Pan and Trunks became silent. Kali thought for a moment that she had insulted them or something. Pan looked at Trunks, who nodded in return. The two sat down on the ground, Pan patting the ground beside her, "Sit down."

Kali gratefully took her invitation and sat down, she was very curious to know where she was. There was another moment of silence.

"Trunks, you going to start?"

"Nah, you're better at explaining things than I am."

"Oh fine." Pan leaned back against the single tree, and took in a long breathe before exhaling in a sigh. "You saw the invisible thing, didn't cha?"'

"Yes..." So theses two had also seen it. "It attacked us. It said something about taking souls."

"Exactly what it did." Trunk said.

"What?!" Kali exclaimed. "It has my soul? But I'm here now...?"

"And that's all you are." Pan continued. "A soul without a body, wondering the world of the unknown.

"Well not the unknown stupid." Trunks said when he noticed the confused look on Kali's face. "Right now were wondering a habitat created by that creature. It's sort of like a container that he carries around, so if he needs someone's soul he can get it easily."

"Yep." Pan sighed. "And there is no way out either. Even if you did escape, where would you go? You'd be invisible to the human eye, wondering Earth or whether this weirdo has gone to when you escape, trying to find your body."

So that was it. She had been captured, and was being stored until she was needed. "Where were you guys when you were captured?"

"Us?" Pan asked. "We were at other world, playing golf." An evil grin came across her face. "I was winning too, wasn't I Trunks?"

"What?! No way! I was winning!"

"You already had a double bogey!"

"But you never hit the ball in the hole!"

"If that thing didn't attack us maybe I would have! One more hit and I would have had a birdie!"

"Birdie?" Trunks laughed. "You would have gotten a plus 35!"

"No I wouldn't have!"

Kali chuckled at their lame argument. Sounded like her and Spazer in a way, except they usually argued about who was the pervert or lesbian, not golf. What was golf anyways? The thought of Spazer got her worried. He was alone now, the only Supreme Kai left at this time. What could Spazer do by himself? Without proper training he was hopeless. He probably didn't even know that she and Kibito Kai and Old Kai had been killed. Speaking of the other two kais...

"You two see Old Kai or Kibito Kai around here anywhere?" She may not know what to do, but those two might. Supreme Kais could use their powers anywhere.

Back on Earth...

"Two eggs...1 cup of water...and a teaspoon of vegetable oil..."

"No Spazer!" Lumina sighed again. "3 eggs, 1 ½ cups hot water, and ½ a cup vegetable oil! Read the directions!"

"Oh...right."

It was hopeless. Lumina had the perfect idea of baking a chocolate cake for dessert later on. Of course Spazer wanted to help, but unluckily for her, Spazer had no clue how to cook. He was too used to Kibito Kai making food appear in the air for him, so there was no point in learning.

After the little interruption outside, Vegeta and Spazer had decided to let the two in on their plans. Of course they all thought something was weird about Gohan, and the Dragon Ball added a good twist to the plot. There was nothing they really could do about it now until they had more proof, for Goku would surely not believe them. Zennie and Lumina were told to keep an eye on him though, and to report any misbehaving to them immediately. In the mean time, act normal.

"I'm finished!" Spazer said cheerfully. "Can I blend it now?"

Lumina walked over and looked at Spazer's mix in the bowl. "Oh Spazer," She laughed, staring at the whole eggs floating on top of the oil. "You're suppose to crack open the eggs in the bowl!"

"Oh really?" Spazer seemed shocked. He picked up an egg from the bowl, cracked it on the side of the bowl and dumped the egg back into the cake batter, shell and all.

"No Spazer!" Lumina slapped her hand against her forehead, making Spazer stop before breaking the other two. "Now I have to pick out every tiny little piece of shell out of it!"

"But...you didn't say so..."

"Common sense Spazer, do you want to eat crunchy shells in a chocolate cake?"

"Well...wouldn't the shells melt in the oven?"

Lumina Sweat drops.

After several minutes picking out egg shells...

"Ok were done." Lumina said after examining every inch of the cake mix for bits of egg shells. "You can put it in the mixer now."

"Ooh yay! The exciting part!" Spazer grabbed the bowl and tried to figure out how to put it on. Lumina rolled her eyes at him. What was so great about a mixer any ways?

Lumina turned and washed her hands in the sink. "Oh, and may I remind you not to turn it up all the way. If you do cake mix will go every where."

"You say something?" Obviously he couldn't hear because of the running water.

"I said-" There was a roaring sound and a splat as cake mix hit Lumina.

"SPAZER!"

"Wow! Cooking is so cool!" Spazer said as cake batter flew in all directions, eventually hitting his Mohawk. "Awesome!"

"1...2...3..." Lumina attempted to calm done and not lose it. That was of course until it hit her hair, landed on her shoes, through the open window, down a hallway, the kitchen cabinets, and what ever was lying out in the open.

"Whoa!" Spazer exclaimed as a blob flew out the open window and hit a dog walking by. "I wish I would have learned to cook sooner!"

"4...5...6...grrrr..."

"Hey Lumina why is your eye all twitchy?"

Out in the living room...

"I am so beating you Vegeta!"

"Guess again Kakarot!"

"I'm almost to the finish line!"

"SPAZER YOU BAKA!!!!!!"

Goku drops the controller. "What the hell was that?"

Vegeta too sets the controller down and looks towards the kitchen.

"Probably nothing..."

They both turn back around. "Well, back to the-"

"I WIN!!" Zennie starts doing a victory dance. Goku and Vegeta stare at the screen. Vegeta's eye is twitching. "What nimrod forgot to hit the pause button?"

Goku sighs. "I guess you can't turn your back on Mario kart..."

"I was actually beating kakarot too..."

"What?! I was winning!"

"No you weren't"

"Yes I was!"

"No you-" Splat. Something brown and gooey hit Goku's face.

"HA HA HA HA HA!" Vegeta laughed.

"Eeew..." Zennie looked disgusted.

Goku blinked through the mess on his face. He scraped some off his face and licked it.

"Hey...It's chocolate cake mix!"

"Chocolate what?" Vegeta was hit on the back of his head.

"What the hell?" Zennie got it too.

"Oh no..." Goku moaned as it hit the TV screen. "I knew cake mix would attack us all someday! Run for cover!" He flew under the couch and cowered, Zennie joining him.

"'I knew cake mix would attack us all someday' what a pea for brain....'" Vegeta refused to join them. When he was hit again did he finally go under, regretting every minute of it.

"SPAZER!!!!! TURN IT OFF!!!"

"Why? This is fun!"

"YOU FREAKIN BAKA KAI!"

"Hey, that wasn't very nice."

Lumina ran towards the mixer and finally turned it off. She stared in horror at the mess in the kitchen. There was no way they could clean all this up.

"Guess we won't have any cake after all huh? Uh...heh heh..." Spazer turned to leave.

"Oh no you don't" She grabbed his arm and handed him a mop. "YOU are going to clean this up while I make another cake...good thing I bought another box..."

The two go to work immediately, Spazer complaing that he was just trying to have fun. Gohan was unnoticed as he stared through the window at the two idiots in the kitchen. He couldn't wait to obtain their souls soon...and it would be soon.. Too bad the fools never noticed he had been missing all day.
