The Gift Chapter 13 (Part 2)
Arden ran to his room and slammed the door with tears dropping from his eyes. He threw himself on the bed and thought of why his parents liked, to hide stuff from him. Why don't they tell me things? Mom said, that dad wasn't feeling well she didn't say he was in the castle's infirmary, thought Arden. Arden wiped his tears and got up to change his clothes with the thoughts of how weak his dad looked and why he passed out when he was on earth. There must be something wrong with my father and no one is saying anything thought Arden. He turned out the lights and went to bed without even caring if anyone kissed him goodnight.
&--
Gohan was sort of worried about his son. He didn't want Arden to see him like this and he didn't like the fact that Athena yelled at him for coming to see him. He knew in his heart that one day he's going to be asking him more questions like he did when he took him to his house.
One thing that really crossed Gohans mind was why was he feeling pain in his body. He didn't feel like he had a cold, and where in world did an infection come from? All he did was spend one day in the hyperbolic time chamber and Gohan knew that spending time their couldn't cause an infection.
That chip is causing too much problems in my body and maybe I should take a chance in getting it removed thought Gohan.
But the only thing is, it could cause me some problems and then, maybe not.
Elaine's assistant nurse walked in to take Gohans temperature. She looked at him and smiled. Gohan knew that the smile meant to not worry but he couldn't help but worry and wonder.
"Well it looks like your fever has dropped to one hundred and two. Are you feeling better?" Asked Elaine's assistant.
Gohan still sounded a little weak. "I am a… little better."
"Are you in any pain?" "My stomach hurts a little and I have a headache." Elaine's Assistant took Gohans chart and wrote down everything. "Are you thirsty?"
"Yes I am." He sighed sitting up. She gave him some water and told Gohan to rest as she left the room.
&--
Athena was talking with her mom in her room. "Athena, why did you yell at Arden?" Fussed Trina.
"Mom, I told him to go to bed and no where else and he sneaked off to see his father."
"I know but you shouldn't have yelled at him for seeing his father, he couldn't help it, especially overhearing us talk about Gohan. I went in his room and he was crying his self to sleep.
Athena felt bad, she didn't want to do that, but she figured he didn't need to know how sick his father was. "Look mom, I'm very sorry about yelling at Arden I just didn't want him to see his father like that."
"Well I think you need to apologize to him for yelling, but he's sleeping now and it would be a good idea to speak with him before he goes to school in the morning." Said Trina.
"Yes mom." Said Athena listening to her. That's one thing you do in the Zeon kingdom is listening to orders that are true, especially if it's your mother talking.
&--
Elaine walked over to Gohans bed. "Gohan are you feeling ok, cause my assistant said you were having pain."
"My stomach hurts and I have a headache." Gohan sigh.
"The infection you have is causing those things and I'm glad your fever has went down cause you sound a little better. You know Gohan, have you ever thought about getting that chip removed?"
"I was thinking about that a few moments ago."
"That's good that you are and there are risks with that surgery."
"That's what I'm afraid of, the risks." Gohan sighed.
Elaine's assistant came in the room and injected the I.V. with pain medicine. "My assistant is putting a small dosage of pain medication in your I.V. and a small dosage of an sedative so you can sleep." Said Elaine.
"What time is it?" Asked Gohan.
"It's nine-thirty at night. I want you to get some sleep and don't worry about anything, just rest. My nurses will be in and out during the night to check on you." Said Elaine. She walked out the room and Athena was walking in. Elaine stopped her and told her about how Gohan felt. "He'll be ok." Assured Elaine as she left. Athena came over to Gohans bed and spoke with him for a few minutes about apologizing to Arden she then kissed Gohan goodnight and left.
&--
It was the next day at seven in the morning and Chichi had walked in her house cause she told Gohan she would check his mail while he was gone. "Everything ok at Gohans house?" Said Goku. "Yeah everything is fine only one thing is he hasn't called us to say anything." "Well maybe he's not going to see us until he fights with Omnimus in a few days." "He could at least call and say how's he doing." "Chichi I'm pretty sure he's fine and spending time with his son." Assured Goku.
&--
On Adieus ship Omnimus was tapping his pen on his desk with no patients. He got up and walked into Adieus room. "Hey brother, are we all ready with the ammunition?" An Adieus was playing with the controller that they used on Gohan. "Well we should be ready with everything. Brother, can't you find something to do instead of worry about Gohan."
Omnimus slammed his fist on the desk. "I'm NOT WORRIED! I just want my REVENGE!"
"Isn't this what were doing?"
"Yes it is…"
"Then relax and lets have some fun again with this controller." Smirked Adieus.
"I don't want you to play with that controller too much cause he wouldn't be any good to fight if he's already beaten." Said Omnimus.
"Ok dear brother." Adieus put down the controller. Omnimus walked out of the room and Adieus picked up the controller again with a sneaky look. "Well dear brother I like to play dirty."
&--
It was early in the morning also on Zeon. Athena walked in the dining hall and Arden was already their having his breakfast. Athena smiled at her son as she approached the table to sit and have coffee and toast. She knew she needed to talk with him before he left for school. "Arden son, I wanted to tell you that, I'm sorry about yelling at you last night when you saw your father."
Arden looked at his mom. "Mom why do you and dad always hide things from me?"
She sighed. "Listen Arden, me and your father don't mean to hide things it's just… your not old enough to understand."
"I thought I was."
"Arden when your old enough, then we will let you know some things. I just didn't want you to see your father like that and get worried."
"I won't worry, it's just… I get worried if you don't say anything."
"Well when it comes to your father I'll try not to hide anything from you." Arden smiled at his mom and hugged and kissed her. He left to get his backpack for school. Athena started eating her breakfast.
&--
Gohan awaken and sat up in his hospital bed. He noticed he was dressed in his regular clothes that he had on when he came in. Gohan wondered what happen to the hospital pajamas. Elaine and her assistants must have changed my clothes. Wow I don't feel any pain or fever.
Gohan got up and looked around. "Why does the room look different?" Gohan turned around and he saw that he was in his office and his hospital bed was gone. "Wait a minute I was just in the infirmary?"
"You still are." Said a laughing voice.
"Hey who was that!" The voice kept getting louder with laughter. Gohan fell to his knees holding the side of his head. "Stop it! Your giving me a headache!"
Gohan got up and tried to go out the door but it was locked. Gohan tried to blast it but no power. "Ok, ok, I know who this is its another trick! Ok Omnimus come out! I'm not scared of you!"
Omnimus appeared in the corner and walked towards Gohan. Gohan was staring down Omnimus as he approached him. "What kind of crap are you pulling!" "Whatever I WANT!" Said Omnimus charging at him with a knife.
Gohan punched Omnimus in the face and it knocked him across the room into the wall. "I'm sick of your games, Omnimus!"
Then out of nowhere Omnimus hit him across the back with a chair." "Oww!" Yelled Gohan as he hit the floor. Gohan looked up and there was Omnimus getting up off the floor and standing above him with a broken chair. "There's two of you!"
"Yes it is." Said Omnimus standing above him smiling. Gohan got up wondering how's he going to get out of this and he's got no power. The Omnimus that broke the chair came charging at him and Gohan quickly grabbed him and through him at the door and it broke open with Omnimus laying in the hallway. Gohan went out in the hallway and notice that he was robotic cause his skin was torn.
"I fought with a machine."
Out of nowhere Omnimus jumped on his back. "I'm going to do you like I did before!" Omnimus had little knives in the fingers of his gloves that came out. Gohan threw Omnimus off his back and Omnimus scratched Gohans side like a cat with sharp nails that dug in Gohans skin leaving scratch marks full of blood. Gohan grabbed his side and yelled.
"I finally got you!" Smiled Omnimus.
I got to get out of here thought Gohan. I've got no power and he thrives off of watching me suffer!
Omnimus came after him again and Gohan tripped him before he was about to jump on him. Gohan quickly got up wincing in pain and holding his side with blood seeping into his hands from the wound. Gohan ran down the hall and right into the front door where it was locked. Gohan turned around to find another way out and Omnimus was right in his face and he stabbed him in the stomach with those sharp knives.
Gohan awaken out of his dream yelling and grabbing his stomach. Three of Elaine's assistants were right there cause they were getting ready to check his vitals and I.V. They quickly grabbed Gohan so he could calm down. Gohan was grabbing his stomach and complaining of pain. "Gohan it's going to be ok. Just calm down." "I can't…. cause it… hurts!"
One of the assistants went to go get Elaine.
"Gohan it's going to be ok, but you have to tell us what's going on? Did you have a bad dream?" Asked the assistant.
Gohan was still wincing in pain. "Yeah… I did."
One of Elaine's assistants was looking at the side of Gohans hospital nightgown wondering why is their blood on it. "There's blood on the side of Prince Gohans hospital p.j's." The other assistant notice as well. "Prince Gohan we need to lift up your p.j's to see." Gohan winced in pain as the assistant lifted his pajamas to look. "What happen?" Said one of his assistants. "It looks like a big cat scratched him." "Look at the other marks on his stomach like if something dug into him."
&--
"Goku, would you give our son a call and see if he's ok?" "Chichi why are you so worried it's not like Gohan is deadly ill." "Goku he passed out the other day and I was wondering if he was feeling better." "Ok if it will make you happy I'll dial him on my cell phone." Said Goku.
Goku dialed Gohans cell phone and just an answer machine. "Well just an answer machine." "Is their any other way to call him?" Said Chichi. "Let me call Arden. Maybe he's knows something."
Goku used the satellite cell phone. "The phone ringed in Arden's room as he was about to leave. "Hello?" "Hey Arden!" "Hi grandfather Goku!" "How's it going?" "Fine, I was just about to leave for school." "Sorry to catch you at a bad time but I wanted to call and see how your dad's doing."
Arden didn't want to upset his grandfather. "Oh…well…my dad is in the hospital infirmary."
"What?" Said Goku surprised. Chichi looked at Goku seriously. "Hey what's going on?" Chichi said.
"Just a minute Chichi. What's wrong with him."
"I over heard my mom tell my grandmother that my dad was in a lot of pain and he had a high fever."
"Thanks a lot Arden I'll let you go."
"Ok grandfather, bye." Goku clicked off the phone knowing that's all he needed to hear. "What's going on Goku? Is Gohan sick?"
"Yes he is. Arden said he was in the infirmary with a high fever."
"Agghhhh! My baby! I knew something was wrong and they never said anything about him being sick!"
"Calm down Chichi, he could of became like that last night."
"Hey what's going on, is everything ok!" Said Goten running in the living room worried.
"Goku, let's go see Gohan! I want to see if my son's ok!" Demanded Chichi with worry.
"Ok Chichi but please be calm."
"I don't care what palace that wife of his lives in! No one is going to stop me from seeing my son!"
Goten looked confused. "Is everything ok with Gohan?"
"Your brother is sick and your mom…. well, I don't have to explain but were going to go to Zeon and see what's going on."
"Goten, I want you to stay here and go to school and me and your father will probably be back tonight."
"Ok." Said Goten whom was happy about the idea.
"Please finish all your homework and don't tie up the phone line cause we could be calling." Said Chichi.
"Ok mom."
Sighs. "How are we going to get on Zeon if we have no way to get there?" "Listen Chichi that's no problem I'll just use Gohans crystal that opens up the gateway to their planet." Said Goku. Chichi and Goku got ready to leave while Goten was leaving for school."
&--
Elaine came in the room and quickly looked at Gohan. Gohan was still in a lot of pain but a little calmer. "What's going on?" "Dr. Elaine, Gohan had a nightmare and for some odd reasons he has bloody scratches on his side like if a cat scratched him. Elaine lifted his shirt and she thought of the last time she saw him like this.
"Prince Gohan did you scratch yourself or dig into your skin?" Gohan looked at Elaine like if she was kidding. "Elaine, I didn't do anything I just had a bad nightmare like before, remember?"
Elaine knew about that but she didn't want him to be thinking about Omnimus but she knew soon or later she would be talking about it. "You said that Omnimus was trying to kill you." Gohan winced in pain. "Yeah and…it was the same thing like before." "Ok Gohan I need to clean up your wounds before they get infected. I'm sorry but this is going to hurt some." "Oh please… don't tell me that… I'm already in enough pain." Gohan wined.
