Chapter 9
Goku walked away from the two men he just knocked out. But after a little while he arrived at a wall. Everything stopped here, there was no door, no window, nothing.
"How am I going to get into the labs?" Goku asked himself. "Wait, that guy said the labs where underground".
He knocked at the floor, checking if it was hollow. Nothing, it sounded like any other floor.
Goku continued to knock at the walls and luckily he found a hollow spot. Goku pushed a while and immediately a hidden door opened, revealing a large stairs going down.
"Well, here goes nothing I suppose" Goku said as he walked down the stairs.
The stairs where long, in fact they seemed endless. After every curve Goku expected it to end, but it just revealed more steps, this went on and on for nearly fifteen minutes. Sometimes Goku thought about just flying down, it'd be much faster, but then he realized his energy could be spotted if he'd use his powers.
Finally Goku saw the floor. And he was at the labs. Well, he was in the hall towards the labs. At the end of the hall he saw a door with windows in it. Unfortunately two guards where behind it, their backs turned to the door.
"How am I going to get passed these unnoticed" Goku whispered to himself. Suddenly another person came running towards the other guards. Goku quickly pressed himself to the walls to prevent himself from being seen by the other man.
"Someone has entered the labs, the guards upstairs are found knocked out. Rayo ordered to turn this place upside down and find him. GO!"
The two guards nodded and ran away. This proved once again that they where very stupid, because instead of going trough the door they from Goku, the other man followed them.
Goku looked amazed "Yay! This is going too well"
He opened the doors and looked around, amazed by what he saw. He was standing inside a huge place. Around him where computers, machines, robots, everything you'd expect in a crazy scientists lab. "How on earth did they made this" he whispered once again to himself. "This is amazing, sick but amazing."
Goku slowly walked around, wanting to see everything. There was an uncountable amount of doors leading towards a new place, with even more doors, more computers, more machines, some places had operating tables and looked like a hospital (these places made Goku shiver, reminding him of his fear of needles), other places where looking like average labs, with glassware, jerry cans filled with hydrochloric acid and caustic soda, it even had a poster of the periodic system of elements.
After a few hours of walking, discovering more and more labs, some where more amazing then the previous, and wandering Goku started getting angry with himself. He hasn't thought about finding Eighteen since he sat foot inside the labs. He once again took the little scanning device from his pocked and turned it on. It immediately started bleeping.
"So she IS here" Goku said. "But where? Come on little one, show me the way" he said to the scanner.
Goku turned around until he found the direction the signal was coming from, and like he was using the dragon radar Goku started searching Eighteen inside the labs. After a while of following the signal Goku came to a strange door. He was surprised that he found nearly no guards inside the labs. He thought that Rayo perhaps thought that the labs where hidden so carefully that no man could find it, so he didn't need guards.
Goku stood in front of the door. It looked old, yet it appeared to be created with high developed techniques. He tried to give it a little push but it wouldn't move an inch. He checked if the door had any alarm systems that mind go off when he broke it. At the side of the door was a little computer, clearly you needed a code to be able to go trough it.
Goku checked his pockets, searching for anything useful. He found a small device with a screen. Bulma said it might come in handy when he needed to hack into something. Unfortunately Goku wasn't very technical so he had no idea on how to use the device. Fortunately Bulma had thought of that, so when Goku moved the device towards the computer it started bleeping. On the screen the access code appeared.
"Go Bulma" Goku said while typing in the code.
"Welcome" a mechanical voice said. Goku walked in. Suddenly he was standing in a place that was horrible beyond anything. If you thought that your biology classroom was creepy with animals on spirits, this was worse.
The entire space was filled with cocoons, stuffed with a greenish liquid and filled with testing animals. Some of them where cut open and had notes next to them. Others had their eyes open as if they where staring at you. When Goku moved further he saw more and more things. All kinds of experiments probably done by someone who's mind was beyond sick. There were cloned body parts of men and animals, even combined. There were descriptions on how the human immune system worked, and how you could mess with it to make sure a human body didn't broke down because you added parts into it. Goku held his hand in front of his mouth, trying to prevent himself from vomiting.
He walked further into the room. And as he went further, the cocoons got bigger. There where larger animals inside now. It even had animals inside who had limps cut of and replaced by mechanical limps. Suddenly Goku was struck with a horrible thought. Maybe Eighteen wasn't here, maybe it was just the chip. Maybe Eighteen was dissected, or dead.
Goku forced himself to snap out of these thoughts, he wasn't if Eighteen was dead or alive. And until he knew for sure he could not have any other goal but to find her. Goku walked further and further into the room. Suddenly he saw a lonely cocoon standing. It was made of non see trough material, but when Goku stood in front of it he could see the front was made of see trough glass. The cocoon was filled with the same green liquid, only this was more turbid, making it hard to see what was inside.
Goku's scanner went nuts now, it was bleeping out of control. Leaving Goku with only one conclusion. He placed his hand on the glass and send his energy trough it. Causing the glass to break and fall down and the liquid to stream away.
Inside the cocoon was Eighteen. Her body limp like she was in coma, naked and covered with tubes. Her mouth was covered with an oxygen mask which Goku took of first. Goku saw that her mouth was slightly open and that a long tube was coming out of it. Goku took her shoulders and started shaking her, trying to wake her up.
She didn't stir, she didn't even move a muscle. Goku started pulling the tube coming out of her mouth. After a while it was finally coming out. Apparently the tube was going all the way down her throat because it was quite long. After it was removed Eighteens body fell forward. Goku caught her. He saw wires inside her back and angrily he ripped them out. Finally Eighteen was free to be taken out of the cocoon. Goku laid her down on the floor and tried to wake her up.
"Eighteen, Eighteen, come on I'm here. It's alright, you're safe" he shook her shoulders and slapped her softly on her cheeks.
At last Eighteen started coughing, a little of the green mess was coming out of her mouth. Goku made her sit up straight. Slowly Eighteens eyes opened. First her vision was blurry, then she saw shapes and finally she recognized the one in front of her.
"Goku?" she whispered.
Goku nodded "I'm here don't worry."
"Here" he said as he took a blanket that was lying on the floor "cover yourself a bit. You'll freeze."
"I wouldn't mind" Eighteen whispered, but she put the blanket around herself anyway.
"How are you feeling?" Goku asked.
Eighteen answered him back with a dark glare not believing he could ask such a stupid question.
"Sorry" Goku said "are these Rayo's labs?"
Eighteen shook her head "They're Gero's. These were his old testing labs, here he made the first attempts to combine organic with mechanic. The animal tests are his work too, if my data is correct that is." She whispered the words, she had the strength nor the courage to speak them out loud.
"And I found them and now I use them" another voice suddenly said.
Goku and Eighteen turned around Rayo was standing in front of them with a group of heavily armed guards behind him.
"How dare you, trying to sneak in here and stealing what is now rightfully mine" Rayo hissed to Goku.
"How dare you claiming someone like she's some toy?" Goku hissed back.
"Oh but she is a toy. My toy right now, and I'm taking her back right now."
"I don't think so, Eighteen we're getting out. Are you ready?"
But Eighteen didn't answer. She didn't move either, she was frozen and was only staring at Rayo in absolute fear.
Goku took her shoulder with one hand and placed two fingers of his other hand against his forehead. "This isn't over Rayo, you'll pay for what you've done."
Suddenly Eighteen and Goku disappeared. Rayo and his men looked around in shock. "You're right Goku, this isn't over" Rayo said.
Goku and Eighteen reappeared in the backyard of capsule corporation. The place was totally empty, Goku helped Eighteen stand up straight.
"You're save" he said.
"I know" Eighteen answered back, and she pulled the blanket further over her.
"Goku!!" Someone suddenly yelled. Chichi was running towards the two, followed by Bulma and Krillin. Krillin seemed out of his mind.
"Krillin" Eighteen whispered, before she fainted and fell to the ground again.
A/N: Good/Bad, whatever. Let me know!!!
