I don't own Dragon ball Z or its characters.

"…." = Talking

'…..' = Thinking

Well on with the story….

Somewhere…..

It is pitch black. No lights just darkness. Only the sound of a monstrous voice echoing in the nothingness can be heard.

"you will break….aaaahhhh yessssss…..soooooooon….they will break you….soooooon"

A violent wind made the darkness have a life of its own as it moved. The voices words then stopped…and all was quiet once again.

On Kami's look out…..

Kami suddenly sucked in a hard breath.

"No, something's coming…I have never felt anything like this…Mr. Po Po a darkness is coming"

"But Kami what do you mean, is it a new threat?"

"Something dark….and evil"

"What do we do Kami?"

"I don't know, I just don't know?" answered Kami, a shocked look on his face. Mr. Po po just stared at Kami fear evident in his eyes.

Capsule Corp…

"Common Vegeta dance with meeee…" cried Bulma as she tugged on his arm.

"No woman I do not dance" Vegeta responded as he crossed his arms. He could not help but give her a second glance. The short dark blue dress was stunning on her. It showed off every curve of her body and made the blue in her eyes stand out. All together he though she looked beautiful, he would never admit it out loud of course. Only when they were alone.

Bulma then glared at him, but that quickly changed to a smirk.

"Well if you don't dance I'm sure YAMCHA will" she said as she began to walk away.

'Oh, hell no'. Thought Vegeta.

His eyes shot open as he grabbed her and marched to the dance floor, her laughing all the way. They began to dance with Vegeta's arms securely around her and him glaring at the unsuspecting Yamcha.

"um…guys…why is Vegeta trying to set me on fire with his eyes…hehe" Said a very nervous Yamcha.

"Not a clue Yamcha but you know Vegeta…he glares at everything, but right now if I were you I would run" Vegeta then made a very threatening gesture to Yamcha "very fast heheh" Responded Krillen.

"Common Krillen lets dance" Responded 18 in a monotone voice.

"Of course dear" Answered Krillen a huge smile on his face. They then walked to the dance floor.

"Alright everybody time for cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Came the sudden scream of Bulma as the huge cake was rushed in.

Soon everyone was enjoying the confection as idle gossip floated around the room.

Piccolo had amazingly came yet stayed in a darkened corner meditating. Roshi and Oolong where deep in a conversation about well…things…while everyone else talked about what ever was on there mind.

"Hey guys were is chichi? I did not see her show up with Goku" Asked a curious Bulma.

"Not a clue, I am kind of glad she didn't show up, last thing we need is to hear her screaming about something" Replied Yamcha.

"Your telling me my ears are still ringing from her last tantrum" said Oolong rubbing his long ears for effect. This eliciting a laugh from those who heard.

"ya the woman is to uptight all the time 'Gohan study, study, study I don't care if your only five you should be studying, and you Goku you had better have manners or I will hit you so hard with a frying pan your head will spin, bla bla bla bla bla…" mocked Roshi while he shook his finger in an intimidation manner at the laughing group.

Out side the door chichi stood leaning her back against the door her eyes shadowed by her hair. Her grip on the present in her hands was so tight her knuckles were white. She wanted so bad to scream at them. Scream and cry at them. But why, why fight it any more, why prove them right and give them more reasons to hate her.

With a shuddering breath she began to run. Down the streets, past the buildings. She just ran. Minutes passed until she was out of the city and into a dark forest. Though she did not even notice. Her mind was clouded by pain, anger, and helplessness.

Jagged branches ripped at her arms and legs leaving scratches and rips in her dress. She never noticed, she just ran. That is all she could do. She jumped over rocks and roots running further and further into night. The trees around her became darker and haunting. The wind itself began to carry laughter the same laughter as before.

She could not hear it though…not yet any way.

Somewhere….

"Hahahaha…she is breaking…soooon….I will be freeeee again……soooooon"

The darkness seemed to spring to life as It swirled around and revealed a hollow image. This was an image the voice new all to well. In it a little girl sat with her knees drawn to her chest and her head bowed on them. She was shaking as her little hands grip on her legs tightened even more. Around her was a light that once shone brightly but now was dull and fading. It created a barrier around her, but was only around ten feet from her. This fading barrier was falling though. It was covered in numerous cracks all around it. They split from one another, all seeming to be connected. But the voice was not staring at the girl or the old cracks it was staring at a section of the dome that was glowing and eerie green. The light traveled up from the bottom to the very peek of the dome spreading more fractures in it path.

Black mists moved around the dome looking for a way in.

"Sooooon…I will wake and no one will stop me….I will have my revenge…she cant hid forever….hehehe" the voice whispered into the nothingness around it.

The image in front of it vanished and was replaced by one of a dark forest and a girl running blindly through it.

She ran for all that she was worth. All she could think about was that she had to get away.

"whhhhhy do you ruuunnn?" the wind whispered to her in a dark voice.

She stopped running and stood shocked and she shakily replied.

"who….who is there?"

"why….do you let them win?" it asked in a the same dark voice. Sending chills up her spin. She knew this voice.

"stop…please go away leave me alone" she cried as she looked around franticly.

"I cant do that" it whispered into her ear causing her to whip around and trip. Thus making her fall on her back.

"you can stop them you know" it whispered "you can make it go away"

"stop…stop….please" she begged in a pained whisper.

"they hate you…they all hate you…you have done everything for them…everything…you even loved them" the voice spat the word love like poison in its mouth.

"yet you were nothing but a slave…a worthless…nagging….slave"

"No…STOP, STOP, SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE" She screamed while clutching her hands to her ears and shaking furiously.

"You can stop them…we can stop them…" With that last sentence whispered the voice disappeared into the night.

Chichi opened her eyes and moved her hands from her head. Her breathing was harsh and labored. Her eyes were clouded by tears. With out a second though she jumped up and began to run again.

Capsule Corp.

Goku slowly made his way down the stairs. 'man no matter how many times I come here I still get lost, and I was just trying to find the bathroom for cripes sakes!!!' he thought a little disgruntled.

"Do you remember the time she slapped piccolo for 'corrupting' her little boy" laughed Krillen. Piccolo made a agitated noise but said nothing. He remembered that time. That slap actually hurt. 18 left the room she was not about to listen to the woman get trash talked while she was not here. Unlike them she respected chichi for what she had done for her.

"There was this time she beat the crap out of some guy who was just walking down the street. I had just finished eating lunch to look over to see her drop kick a guy a block away from her as she screamed like no tomorrow hahaha" laughed Yamcha. Bulma's laughter died down as she remembered that moment. She had found chichi shopping for groceries when this guy walked up to her and started harassing her, when he forcibly grabbed her arm Chichi had come to her rescue and beat the man up and thrown him across the street.

"SHUP UP ALL OF YOU"

Bulma was drawn from her thoughts by the sudden outburst. Everyone quickly looked to the source of the voice only to be faced by a very angry Goku.

"Uh…Goku you all right?" asked a slightly frightened Krillen.

"HOW DARE YOU ALL SIT THERE AND MAKE FUN OF HER!!!!!" he screamed his hair flickering between gold and black.

Everyone looked on in shock at the furious saiyan in front of them.

"They are right Kakkarot, your harpy is nothing more than that, a harpy" stated Vegeta with a smirk on his face hoping to get the happy savior a little riled up. To his surprise he found himself pushed against the wall with a super saiyans hands griping his shirt.

"Vegeta if you ever call her a harpy again I WILL make sure you regret it. Understand?" stated Goku calmly with venom laced in his voice.

"Get off me Kakkarot, NOW" Vegeta sneered at the younger sayian. Goku let go of him but his vicious glare never leaving the smaller man in front of him. Vegeta said no more as Goku walked back to the group.

"Were is Gohan?" he said. A light glare on his face.

"ugh…he…he fell asleep on the couch…" said a stunned Bulma. With out a another word Goku walked to the couch and picked up his son and began to walk to the door. When he reached it he opened it but before he walked out he turned his head to look over his shoulder.

"You don't know the first thing about her so you have no reason to judge her considering she has done everything in her power to help you…and me" he added the last part as a pained whisper. With that said he walked out into the night.

Kami's look out….

"Mr. PoPo do you see that?" asked a shocked and angered Kami.

"oh my, Kami what is it?" replied a frightened Mr. Popo as he stared below the look out.

There in the distance the sky was darkening above a section of the forest. A shadow was spreading covering everything in its path in darkness.

"I must contact the others now" cried Kami.

Goku and Gohan were flying around desperately searching for chichi. They had come home to an empty house and became very worried.

'Were are you?' Goku's mind kept repeating. He knew something was wrong with her. He had been having nightmares lately but he tried to forget them. But now he felt they meant something. The fear he has been suppressing was starting to grow.

Flash back to nightmare…

He was walking. He had now idea were all he knew was that it was dark…very dark.

'hello…anyone there?'

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'

He stopped in his tracks when he heard that scream but before he could even process what had happened the ground around him began to shake and the next thing he knew he was falling. His own startled scream escaping his mouth.

With a loud thud he landed on…what? Cement.

'ah, man that hurt' he complained as he rubbed his head. It was then he got a good look around him. He was in the city but it was burning. Rubble was every were. Fire consumed everything in its path. Blood soaked the earth around him and the torturous screams of dieing people filled his ears.

As he looked around more closely he noticed he was surrounded by bloodied bodies. But not just any bodies.

'No…Krillen, Bulma, Vegeta, Master Roshi…' he screamed as he wrenched his head side to side to see the carnage around him. Everyone was there. Everyone he knew was dead and all around him, bloodied and horribly mangled.

'AHHHHHHH' Goku quickly darted his head forward at the sound of that scream. In front of him was nothing but a column of fire slowly moving with a mind of its own. As he stared a body flew from the flames and landed in front of him. His eyes widened with shock and horror as he gasped.

There before him was the beaten body of his son. Blood was covering the numerous wounds on his body. His eyes were wide and unfocused and all together lifeless. Goku felt tears prick the back of his eyes as he stared at his son. Try as he might he could not move. He was frozen in his spot.

'you did this'

At the sudden sound of the distorted voice Goku looked up. Only to stare into glowing red eyes in the middle of the flames.

'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?' Screamed Goku, who was trying his hardest to move.

'you did this' the voice replied. 'you and your friends…you set me free'

'WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU'

The eyes seemed to glow brighter as the voice became harsher.

'YOU…did this…this is what is to come…this is what has come…you are the monster…you did this'

'Your insane…I will destroy you' Goku vowed, his own eyes glowering dangerously into the cold red once.

'you all ready have' whispered the voice as the eyes disappeared and the fire intensified. It grew the shot toward him at an a speed that could rival his own.

'what?' all he could rasp out before the fire consumed him.

END DREAM SEQUENCE…..

That was it. The nightmare ended that way. What did the voice mean? It didn't make any sense.

'I have to find chichi, something is happening…and she is in trouble…please let me find her, let her be safe…'

"Dad do you see anything

"no son…you?"

"nothing…dad I'm worried…what if she's hurt or worse?" asked Gohan as his voice cracked and tears threatened to fall.

Goku stopped flying and hugged his son for reassurance, for both him and the boy.

" Will find her Gohan, I promise" Gohan pulled away and looked at his father pleadingly.

"Dad you don't understand, I have been horrible. I have not been studding that hard and I have been fighting and leaving without telling her…I knew it hurt her…but I didn't think it was that bad" with this outburst Gohan broke down crying.

"daddy something's wrong with mommy…I been feeling it…she's hurting…something hurting mommy…she hiding it I know she is…she keeps saying everything's all right…but its not…it not" Goku could only hold his son and think of what he just said.

"daddy…the nightmares…" cried Gohan. This shocked Goku.

"Gohan what nightmares?" Goku asked his son, slight desperation evident in his voice.

"fire daddy…so much fire…their all gone…it killed them all…we woke it…we woke it up" he whispered in between sobs.

Goku could only float in shock, with his son in his arms. The dreams, Gohan had been having them to. What can that mean.

'Goku, Goku, can you hear me?'

"kami is that you?" asked a surprised Goku.

'yes Goku, please come to the look out immediately it is of great importance'

"Kami we have an emergence down here as it is"

'Goku, I know were your wife is'

"we are on our way" Goku looked down at his son only to see determination in his eyes. With a nod they flew off to the look out.

Capsule Corp.

"well that…was interesting" said a shocked Krillen.

"what was his problem?" Asked an indignant Oolong.

"How dare he yell at his master who does he think he is huh?" Asked a mad Roshi as he hopped around.

"your all fools" came the monotone voice of non other than 18.

"what are you talking about sweetie?" Asked Krillen.

"you just don't get it do you?" She answered.

"you can sit there and make fun of her just because she cared about you…she just hid it well." With that said she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. A silence fell upon the group as they thought of what she had said.

'can you hear me' came the voice of Kami.

"who…Kami is that you?" came the startled reply of Yamcha.

'yes, yes it is me…you must come to the look out immediately".

"there's a new threat isn't there…well count me out, you people are the heroes you save the world" said a frightened Oolong.

"you are such a cowered you pig" With that said Bulma hit him over the head.

"we are coming Kami" said a determined krillen. With that everyone flew out into the night heading for the look out. Roshi and Oolong we're squirming in the arms of an agitated Yamcha while Bulma was safely held by an angry Vegeta. She of course convinced him to take her, against his will.
