Chap 12, Captured

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

'Alright', Gohan thought, 'Family first'

Gohan landed smoothly to the ground next to his grandfather's room. Hesitating, Gohan stared at the door as if it were about to bite him. Gohan gave a sigh and knocked on the door. A muffled "come in" was heard. Gohan tapped in the buttons and the slide door flew up immediately. He walked in to find Bardock sitting at his kitchen table, shoveling food into his face.

"Hey old man" Gohan called and Bardock's head came up faster then lightning. It was obvious to see where Goku got his looks from. He was basically a replica of his father, other then the scar on Bardock's cheek.

"I am not old!" he yelled and he stared at Gohan. "Oh, hey. What do you want? I haven't seen you around since the humans broke out" Gohan bit his lip and sat down in the chair opposite of Bardock.

"Well, um . . . would you be willing to help me and my dad with something?" Gohan said quickly. Bardock gave him a long stare.

"Okay, what did Kakarot get you and himself into?" Bardock asked lazily.

"It's sorta of something to do with the humans and Frieza . . ." Gohan began, twirling his thumbs around each other. Bardock just kept staring at him.

"You had something to do with the humans breaking out didn't you?" Bardock said abruptly. Gohan gave a nervous laugh and smiled stupidly. "Oh boy"

"Well, it's just, you see, we just can't take Frieza anymore! And you know how much I hate him after what he did to my mother!" Gohan broke out angrily, overcoming his mumbling. "So we took the humans to some caves that this woman who calls herself Chilia suggested! We need as many saiyans as we can get so we'll be able to have a better chance at fighting Frieza and my dad and I are Super Saiyans so that'll increase our chances of beating him even more! Will you and your gang join us please?!"

Bardock gave an impish smile. "Of course, I'd do anything to get that freak out of control! I'll explain it to them. I think they'll agree and go help ya' out"

Gohan heaved a relieved sigh. "Thanks gramps. I'm gonna go talk to one of my friends"

~*~*~*~

"Hey, Qubia!" Gohan called and his friend turned around, looking surprised at seeing him.

"Gohan?!" he asked, earning a nod. Qubia bit his lip for a second gazing at him, then looked around nervously.

"You better be careful around here! There's a bounty placed on your head the first day you were gone. Frieza wouldn't trust you with duck tape!" Qubia explained. "He knew you were going to do something for the humans. You show your emotions too much!"

"I can take him" Gohan said proudly.

"Do you really think so?" a sly voice came from behind him. He turned and looked over to see Frieza floating haughtily in his chair-thingy. Gohan glanced back at Qubia and his eyes hardened.

"I'm sorry, Gohan" Qubia said head bowed guiltily. "He threatened to kill my family!"

"Oh and you think that he wouldn't do it anyways?! He wants either all of us Saiyans doing as he says or dead and out of his way!" Gohan shouted angrily. Qubia jus kept his head bowed, not able to look Gohan in the eye. Gohan continued glaring at Qubia as one of Frieza's goons grabbed his wrists and shackled them with a special power zapping power laced through the metal.

Gohan was pulled away and Qubia couldn't help, but notice a pair of seething black eyes staring straight at him. A strong hand grabbed his throat and he was lifted up over the ground. Qubia's hand went to the man's wrist as he looked down to see Bardock glaring up at him.

"I am going to get Gohan out and YOU are going to help me? GOT IT?" he roared angrily. Qubia nodded quickly and he was dropped to the ground with a THUD. He massaged his neck as he looked up at the bigger saiyan.

"Gohan really needs to rethink his friends" Bardock said cruelly, looking down at Qubia as if he was a piece of crap.

"I'm not proud of myself"

"Good, cause if you were, you'd be dead by now" Qubia looked up at him in fear. "Get up and let's go, I can feel Kakarot noticing Gohan's energy going down"

Qubia nodded, but looked down at the ground as he followed Bardock.
