The Secret Project Chapter 14
Trunks, Ami, and Serena walked in. "Hey Bulma." Smiled Serena and Ami. "Hey guys how was school?"
"It was good." Said Ami.
"Good… don't you mean bad, that teacher has us enslaved in homework." Complained Serena.
"Oh, stop being lazy Serena." Said Ami.
"Well I don't like homework plus, I have some more homework from another class."
"Remember girls high school prepares you for college." Said Bulma.
"It felt good to be back in school instead of being at home in the bed, bored and sick." Said Trunks.
"Hey where's Gohan wasn't he suppose to come with you guys after school?" Asked Bulma.
"He's tutoring Videl then he said he'll catch up with us later." Said Trunks. "Oh well, I'll go ahead and get started working on the portal until he gets here." Said Bulma getting up.

"Ah…Where am I?" Said Gohan waking up and finding his arms and ankles chained to the wall. "I have to break these chains! Ow… My head hurts!" Gohan closed his eyes to break the chains. "Ahh… I can't break these chains it's too hard or… I'm too weak." Gohan sighed. "I can't believe this dark dungeon I'm in and barely any light. This has to be Dark Lords lair and mom is going to ground me if I don't get home. Well I guess I'll have a real good excuse."
Valtar and Grid walked in and closed the dungeon door. "Well, well, finally awake." Said Valtar smirking at Gohan. Grid turned on some light. Valtar walked towards Gohan smiling wickedly. "All chained up and can't go anywhere."
"You let me out of these chains, you idiots!" Yelled Gohan.
"Let you out? Were not that stupid!" Said Grid.
Valtar grabbed Gohan by his throat, choking him. "You know what we want and it's that SCEPTER!"
"I don't…have the scepter." Struggled Gohan as he tried to talk.
Valtar let him go and Gohan started coughing. "I told you we should of kidnapped that Serena girl!" Said Grid.
"Look, if we get one of her friends, she will bring the scepter."
"Ok, but this better work or you know what's going to happen." Said Grid.
Valtar looked at Gohan. "I have a way to bring them out! Isn't that right, Gohan."
Valtar grabbed his hair. "Oww!"
Grid punched him in the stomach. Gohan dropped his head and coughed real hard like if he was almost going to throw up.
"That was punching me in the ribs." Said Grid.
"If you try to escape will rough you up more harder than that." Said Valtar.
They left the small light burning as they both were leaving out the room laughing. Gohan looked up with sweat and anger on his face. "I got to get out of here and break these chains before those idiots come back!" Gohan pulled on the chains and it seemed like it couldn't budge. "These chains must be made by Dark Lord or some sort of magic. There's only one thing I could do and hopefully it works."
Gohan powered up to supersaiyan and the chains were stubborn but Gohan increased his power and the chains on his hands broke off the wall. Gohan broke the chains off his feet and threw them on the floor. Gohan fell to the floor and felt dizzy. His hair changed back to black. "That jerk pulled my hair and made my headache worst."
Gohan got up with his head feeling dizzy. "I have to get out of here before they find out that I'm gone."
Gohan went out the door and quickly went down the creepy looking hall. "This place has to be Dark Lord's lair it's too creepy."
Gohan walked down the hall looking at different skulls on the wall of different animals. "Eww…what's that smell! It smells like someone is cooking a live animal."
Gohan creped down the hall silently until he heard Dark Lord talking to Valtar and Grid.
"Yes sir we will do our best to get the crystal scepter from the girl." Said Valtar.
"You two have BETTER get that scepter or it's severe punishment!"
"Yes, my Lord." Said Valtar and Grid.
Gohan quickly got away from watching them before he got caught and found and exit out of the lair. From outside was a lot of grass and land he quickly was running across the yard and jumped in the air and Dark Lords metal parrot attacked him. Gohan struggled to get the bird away from him and the bird was pulling his raven hair and scratching him with his claws. "That's enough!" Yelled Gohan as he broke free of the birds grasp and blasted it. It fell to the ground flapping his metal wings, damaged. Gohan quickly got away and flew towards Capsule Corp feeling somewhat dizzy, with blood coming down his neck.

Serena was in her room lying on her bed eating an apple and doing her homework when Ami walked in.
"Serena, have you heard from Gohan?"
"No I haven't, I hope he's not making out with that girl?"
"I see someone is jealous."
"Oh come on Ami if that was Trunks with Angela, you know you wouldn't like it."
"Ok Serena you win, I would be jealous."
"Is Bulma still working on the portal?"
"Yeah she is, she just wants to know where Gohan is."
"Yeah your right where is he, he should have been here by now." Said Serena.
"Oh well maybe he went home first and then he's coming by."
--&--
Downstairs Bulma was in her lab and Trunks came and sat at the table with her. "You need any help mom, I just finished my homework."
"I would like some help but I really wanted Gohan to be here."
Goku appeared with his instant transmission. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Goku, what brings you here?" Said Bulma.
"I was wondering if Gohan was here, cause me and Chichi sort of got worried. He said he was going to call when he got to your house."
"What are you talking about Goku, we thought he may have stopped at home before he came here." Said Trunks.
Goku looked worried. "Gohan isn't here!"
"Well no. If he was, he would be in here working on the portal with me." "This is weird." Said Goku.
"Listen, lets not worry, he did have to tutor before he left school." Said Trunks.
"Bulma's lab door slid open and Gohan stumbled in and fell to the floor, with blood coming from his neck and his head.
"Gohan!" Yelled Bulma, Goku and Trunks.
Vegeta came in from the other door and wondered what was going on.
--&--
Grid and Valtar walked in the dungeon and saw the chains broke and Gohan gone.
"Darn! I knew we shouldn't have left him alone!" Yelled Valtar.
"Well let's search the castle before he gets away!" Said Grid.
"You idiot, he's probably already gone."
"Well what are we going to do we let the scepter slip through our hands again." Yelled Grid.
"Listen we can't tell Dark Lord cause if we do, were done for!" Said Valtar. "Well we better come up with a plan and it better be quick." Said Grid looking at Valtar.
--&--
"Uh! What happen?" Said Gohan opening his eyes. He sat up slowly holding his head and feeling pain. "Oww!"
"Hey their, take it easy." Said Goku standing by the table and looking at Gohan concerned.
Gohans vision was blurry. "It feels like somebody stitched my head."
"I think you need to lye back down it's really not good for you to sit up now." Said Bulma looking at him.
"Yeah she's right Gohan." Said Serena as she came to the table followed by Trunks and Ami. Vegeta was in the back leaning up against the wall.
"Actually I did stitch your head from whatever had sharp nails." Said Bulma. "Son, what happen?"
"That's what I like to know?" Said Ami.
"Yeah, did Videl have something to do with this!"
Ami and Trunks looked at Serena.
"Well, she could of." Said Serena.
"Sounds like someone's jealous." Said Bulma smiling.
"I was attacked by Valtar and Grid."
"I could have told you that! You guys should see that's it's obvious." Said Vegeta.
"They took me to their dark castle and held me in their dark dungeon and tied me up. It was hard to break free cause it was like, as if magic was used on those ropes."
"Ha, I could have broke free within seconds! Why don't you just confess that you were weak like you always been!"
Gohan sat up with a look of anger. "This isn't about who's weak or who's strong, Vegeta! We need to take these guys down before they take the scepter from Serena and take over this planet!"
"It is about being strong! You think you can fight Dark Lord being weak!" "I'm not weak Vegeta…just… not alert." Gohan said laying back down, feeling bad that they got him off guard again.
"How did you manage to escape from the castle?" Asked Serena. "I mange to break free from the ropes and sneak out of the castle, but then, that's when this bird made of metal attacked me and pulled my hair."
"That explains the ugly scratch marks. Added Bulma.
"Vegeta, let's not focus on who's stronger or weaker, Gohan just need to get in some training time with me so he can be more focus! What I want to do is get that portal going so we can get to Dark Lord lair and get rid of him before he gets rid of us." Goku said.
"Or we could end up falling under his power." Said Trunks.
"That's only for the weak minds, Trunks!" Vegeta scolded.
Gohan sat up holding his head in pain. "Bulma why don't we…get going on that portal I really don't have time for Vegeta's smart remarks." He got off the table and almost fell but Serena and Ami held him up.
"Are you sure your going to be able to do this?" Said Ami worried.
"Yeah, considering what just happened." Said Serena worried also.
"Just one minute." Said Bulma. "Look, you can't work with me in that condition."
"But Bulma, if I go home you know my mom and how she's going to be if I'm injured."
"Oh yeah I forgot about that." Said Bulma, thinking.
"Don't worry about that I'll try and keep your mom busy, we may have to tell her the truth, but many lives do depend on us getting this portal done."
Both girls sat Gohan down in front of the computer. "Instead of getting a portal to suck up these weak villains, what we need to do is go in that castle and beat the living daylights out of Dark Lord and his minions!"
"That does sound like a good idea, Vegeta. But we could be walking right into a trap." Said Goku.
"Dad, as much as that sounds like a good idea I agree with Goku."
"I can't believe you two, you both have saiyan blood running through your veins and your going to sit around here and wait for a portal to be made to catch them with. Say kakkarot, why don't we just beat the crap out of them and then throw them in the portal!"
"You know Vegeta it sounds like a good idea and that means we don't have to fight." Smiled Serena.
"Serena, are you forgetting were dealing with a person who practices magic!" Said Ami sternly.
"Who cares about Dark Lord and his magic?" Snapped Vegeta.
"I care! He's not someone you can just play with, you see what happened to Gohan when he was in our world."
"When you don't train that much and your mind is completely out of focus, who wouldn't fall under his power."
"Vegeta, regardless of who has a weak mind or not you still have to be careful! Dark Lord is someone you have to trick and catch him off guard!" Said Ami.
"Look if you guys want to use a portal to grab him then go ahead be my guest, but leave me out of it!" Vegeta left out the room.
"What an ego!" Complained Serena.
"Don't you mean attitude!" Said Ami.
"Listen guys don't pay attention to my dad he's just…"
"An IDIOT!" Bulma added.
"I agree with Bulma." Said Gohan typing on the computer.
Serena and Ami were giggling at what Bulma said.
Later that evening in the lab, Bulma and Gohan were just about done. Ami, Serena, Goku and Trunks were out on the patio with Krillen and oolong.
"So, Serena did you guys fight crime or monsters?" Asked Krillen.
"Actually monsters and evil creeps." Said Serena.
"Wow, I would of hate to have been in your world. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it."
"Oh oolong your always scared." Smirked Krillen. Goku, Ami, Serena and Trunks started laughing.
--&--
Back in the lab Gohan and Bulma were still working really hard.
"Oww! Gohan sighed rubbing the sides of his head.
"Hey smart man, are you ok."
"Actually…no. I wish this stupid headache leave me alone and this formula that I used before seems like it's not strong enough and I can't think of the other formula I used that's stronger." Gohan slammed his fist on the table as he got up. "I know what the formula is but I just can't think!"
"Bulma got up and look at Gohan who was frustrated.
"Listen Gohan just relax I know you know and maybe I could figure out something. I think it's time you go home and give your brain a rest; I think your head has had enough of being used and on top of being stitched in three places with five stitches a piece." Bulma went over to her medicine cabinet and got some aspirin and water, she gave it to Gohan. "Here, take these aspirin."
Gohan took the aspirin and drank the water. "Thanks Bulma, I think it's time to go home and go to bed for the rest of the night." He said sitting back in the chair.
Goku walked in. "Hey son we better get going."
"That's what I was telling him." Smiled Bulma.
"Yeah I called Chichi so she won't be worried."
Trunks walked in the lab. "Mom, have you seen dad?"
"No but you know where to find him."
"I looked there and I didn't see him, I thought he be with you." Bulma looked at Trunks strange and thought it was sort of too early for bed.
