A/N- Sorry again for the long update, but better late than never I suppose. I started to type this chapter in French on several occasions and I'm not I fixed it all.(note the disclaimer.)I'm going to Florida next week and I'm not sure if there's a computer down there. But if there is I suppose I'll update sooner. Anyway, thanx for the reviews on the last chapter. I really appreciate everyone's support.
Chapter 8
It was pouring and pitch black outside. Had been for almost three days.
"It was horrible 17, I saw it. What he did to that poor guy." 18 said to her twin brother, practically in tears.
Their father Dr. Gero had been locked up in his lab for more than three weeks. The first mistake she had made was going down there. The doctor didn't notice her because he was busy working on another terrible experiment. 18 had seen it. It was the most horrible thing she had ever witnessed. Then she made the second mistake of knocking into the door when she crept back up the stairs. 18 thought he didn't hear it; but she was wrong.
When she was clear of the stairs 18 ran to her brother and told him what had happened.
"It's alright, sis, he won't get away with it. I'll go in tomorrow and put the poor guy out of his misery." 17 replied.
But then 18 heard footsteps coming slowly up the wooden stairs from the lab.
"We gotta get outta here, 17, he's coming. He must have heard me, he knows I saw him." 18 told her brother, panicking.
Without a second thought, he got up. "Right"
17 grabbed 18's arm and started to run, their father close behind them. All through the house he pulled her until they reached the front door. When they rounded the corner they saw their father blocking the door. But how he had gotten there so fast was beyond 18.
"Gotcha!" he yelled with a smirk
Dr. Gero was blocking the door but 17 kept on running, pulling his twin sister behind him. He powered up a glowing ball of energy in his hand and hurled it at their father.
"What the..."
Gero was hit and the door was blown clear off its hinges. The whole section of the wall flew out into street along with the good doctor's left arm. 18 gasped in surprise but kept running. "When did he learn to do that?"
Then something else strange happened. Dr. Gero got up, and where his arm was missing, instead of blood, several broken wires protruded from his torso. Then he did the same ball of light thing as 17; except their father's was much bigger.
"Hold on tight!" 17 yelled back. And he took off into the air, just dodging the ki ball. This however was no surprise. 18 had caught 17 practicing flying in the woods behind their house and blackmailed him into teaching her. But she had only learned a couple days ago and could only hover a few feet into the air.
17 flew into the forest, hoping to seek cover in the trees. Dr. Gero flew in after them and started blasting at the twins.
"18, I need your help. Try a ki blast!" 17 yelled back to her.
"But I don't know how!" she called back.
"It's easy! Just focus on bringing some of your ki into your hand and let it go! You can do it!"
"OK, I'll try!"
18 concentrated as hard as she could and sure enough, a blue ball started to grow in her hand. She did the same with her other hand and hurled them one at a time at her father. All they did was temporarily blind him, but it did the trick. 17 Flew up over the canopy of trees and took off at full speed.
After about a minute or two Dr. Gero regained his sight and realized they were gone.
"Damn!" he yelled. "You can't hide forever! I'll find you eventually and when I do, you'll wish you were never created!"
But 17 and 18 couldn't hear him. They were already miles away; far away from their home, their father, and all the painful memories that they brought back.
"So, ya gonna talk to her today? Goku asked Krillin later that morning. Goku, amazingly, had figured out about Krillin's crush last week. And it had only taken him three weeks.
"...Yeah. I'm gonna try." Krillin replied nervously.
But the day crept on and neither 18 nor 17 ever showed up for school.
"I wonder what happened to her. I hope she's ok." Krillin thought out loud when the dismissal bell rang.
"She's probably just sick." Yamcha suggested
"Miss you're girlfriend, shrimp? I'll bet she's probably dead or badly hurt or something along with her girly, long haired brother."
Goku actually got angry after hearing his best friend being taunted.
"Vegeta! That's not funny at all!" Goku shouted at him. He stood up, ready to defend Krillin. But Vegeta pushed him against a toy shelf making him fall down and causing a bucket of blocks to fall on him. Goku started to cry.
"Awwww, the little baby's crying." Vegeta and his friends started to laugh at him.
"Hey, you jerk!" Chi-Chi got up and growled at him. "You mess with him, you mess with me!"
"So now you've got girls defending you eh, Kakkarot?" Vegeta snickered, knowing how much Goku hated being called his full name.
Then she kneed Vegeta in the stomach and uppercut him in the chin, sending him sprawling backwards into his cronies. The whole group collapsed on top of each other. Chi-Chi turned with a "hmm" and went to help Goku up.
Everyone in the class burst out laughing at Vegeta and applauded Chi-Chi.
"You got beat up by a girl" Yamcha and Tien chanted together.
Krillin went over to Goku and Chi-Chi.
"Thanks for stickin up for me, guys." He thanked them. Goku put his hand behind his head and grinned widely. "What are friends for?"
At the end of the day, when everyone was gone, Krillin and Goku went to ask Mrs. Hayden about 17 and 18.
"Sorry, Krillin but I haven't heard from their father or anyone at all."
"I'm sure she's fine. You're just worrying too much." Goku consoled him. "She'll be here tomorrow, I promise."
"I hope you're right" Krillin said.
"Hey, when your sister gets here, do ya wanna go to the park? We can ask Chi-Chi if she wants to go too." Goku suggested.
"Sure, why not." Krillin said with a smile.
After Bulma got there, Krillin told her where they were going and she left.
"NIMBUS!" Goku called. The yellow cloud came down and screeched to a halt in front of them. Krillin, Goku, and Chi-Chi all hopped on and they sped off into the sky.
"17, get up." 18 nudged him.
"What?" he answered sleepily.
The events of the night before had taken a lot out of them both. Once they were far enough away from their father, they found a small cave at the edge of a wood in West city. Here they slept; at least 17 slept. 18 was still in a state of terror from seeing the experiment and her father's robot arm. She was also confused as to how 17 learned all that stuff and how he got so strong. She had so many questions to ask 17, but he was tired and 18 decided to let him rest for now.
"Nothing" 18 said back
"Whatever." Then he went back to sleep.
18 decided to take this as an opportunity to practice her flying. She flew up into the treetops and around the trees. Soon 18 could hear voices from a park not too far from here. She knew she should stay away, but something told her to go. So she did.
While the three were on the merry-go-round, Krillin felt something strange. He looked up at the top of one of the trees and saw something dart behind a tree. "huh?" he said.
"did he see me?" 18 thought to herself
"Couldn't have been" Krillin said.
"Could it?"
A/N-so there it is. Tell me what you think and review please. See you all when I get back.
