Life or something like it 9

An: I can not believe that it's been a whole fricking year. I'm so sorry about my tardiness and laziness. You all have to thank Moni T for killing me...uh forcing me...uh I mean asking me very nicely to update this chapter. So Moni, this is dedicated to you. I hope that you'll like this one too. It's funny that this story was typed on a faulty disk, but somehow I was able to remove this story from it before the disk became corrupted.Well...some of it anyways. Feh I guess it's time to buy some new disk huh? Any way you guys waited long enough for this story. So I'll just shut up now, and let you guys enjoy.

Piccolo looked at 18, and she returned his look questionably

"Why'd you come back? If I recall correctly you were the one that started all this mess. Give us one good reason why we shouln't send you back to HFIL?"

"What I did was wrong. I wasn't thinking clearly, but your right. We have to stop Dr. Gero. He has plans that involve the Shenron Dragon."

"Tell us everything you know."

"Ok.When Dr. Gero was reawakened his programming included waking up 17, and then from there 17 would try to conquer the world. Dr. Gero was also programmed to help 17 try to retrieved the dragonballs from the Shenron Dragon, as well as the dragonballs from the Namekian Dragon. More dragonballs, more power. Somehow Dr. Gero ignored his programming that included waking up my brother. It's like he is doing everything that my brother was originally programmed to do. It could be glitch in his system or anything. I don't know. All I know is that we need to stop him before it's too late,"

"There's no telling what'll happen if he interferes with the merger between Goku, and the Shenron Dragon."

"Utter chaos. That'll be what happened" Krillian said as he and Videl returned from the lookout.

Videl was holding onto a vid screen camera tightly in her hand as if it were her life line.

"Hey V. what you got there?" Yamacha asked Videl.

"Vid camera."

"What you got that for?" Yamacha asked.

"I think it's only fair to let my daughter know that she'll be in the hyperbolic time chamber for ten years. Who knows...we may be gone when she comes back. Just look it as my way of saying goodbye."

"I hope that their going to be all right. Man we should could use their help right about now." Krillian said.

"They'll be fine Krillian. Remember that Bulba placed that protection spell around the chamber." Videl said.

"Bulba?" Piccolo asked.

"Yeah. She decided to give us a little help in this battle."

"Where is she now?" Piccolo asked

"She went back to the other world. She's trying to help the Grand Kai train some of the warriors there in case worse comes to worse. They would be a great asset to the cause."

"Well right now that's not an option. We have to concentrate on the here and now. Right now we've got bigger fish to fry.Let's discuss our battle plans." Piccolo concluded.

The remaining fighters talked about their battle plans, and decided that it would be best to send 18, Piccolo, and Krillian to the area where Shenron was in hopes stopping Gero. On the other hand Videl, Bra, and Yamacha would try to stop Marron from reawakening the dead Saiyans. However neither team realized exactly what they were up against, and they would soon find out just how much their battle planned sucked.

Chapter 9

(Flashback)

Since the merging with the Shenron Dragon, Goku Son had been laying around in a deep slumber for months. Since the merging his eyes has never opened, and his subconscious mind was still at rest. Being a part of the Shenron dragon was so peaceful, that Goku wasn't even aware that he was at peace. As a matter of fact, Goku wasn't aware of anything in any shape or form. The same could be said of the Shenron Dragon, who was now more balanced and stable than ever before. The dragon felt serene and at peace. His mood was always calm and docile, and it's been so since no one had called upon his name in order to grant wishes in some time.

However it was with one change of events that disturbed the peace and serenity, that both the Dragon and Goku Son had come to know. It was the interference of Dr. Gero that caused an unbalance of not only Goku Son's mind, but that of the dragon as well.

At first it felt as if someone was pulling at Goku's leg, but then after awhile it felt as if someone was slowly ripping him apart. Goku could literally feel the searing pain that ravaged the insides of his body. He cried out in sheer pain and agony, as he felt an pain of the likes that he has never felt before. He tried to open his eyes, but he was suddenly blinded by a bright light. He wondered about what was going on, as he failed to open his eyes again. Tears fell from his eyes, and he blindly led his fingers to them. He wiped away the wet moisture that gathered in the recesses of his retina's.

Once his eyes adjusted to the bright light, Goku suddenly realized that he was inside the dragon's body. Goku had always thought that by merging with the Dragon that he'd b absorbed into the dragon's subconsciousness. Never did he think that he would ever be literally inside the massive creature, as if he had been literally swallowed.

However one glance around, and Goku knew without a shadow of a doubt where he was. However what was more shocking was the source of the bright light. Goku suddenly realized that the dragon was being cut opened, and as if he were the dragon himself he could feel the dragon's pain with crystal clear clarity.

Suddenly he felt someone reach inside the dragon's body, and grab on to his leg. He tried to kick away the offending hands, but he was unsuccessful in his attempts. Soon he was pulled out of the Dragon's body with a devastating yank, and was soon dropped to the ground. When he was finally wrestled free from the Dragon, a blinding bright light forced him to close his eyes tightly. Without his vision he was unable to see who or what was attacking him.

There was a surge of anger and fear coursing through his body, but he refused to be taken hostage that easily by an unknown assailant. So without thought or reason Goku fought back, using the last remaining strength that he had. His arms felt heavy, and his legs felt like rubber. He could barely stand, but he punched and kicked as hard as he could. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get the upper hand in battle. Therefore, he was suddenly taken over.

He felt a heavy collar being placed around his neck, and he clawed at the metallic device. Growing even more afraid of what his outcome would become, he tried in vain to power up. When that didn't work, he struggled to open his eyes one last time to take a lingering glimpse of the person responsible for his capture. His eyes landed on the stoic features of the android Dr. Gero. His eyes widened upon recognition, and he frantically fingered the collar around his neck once again. He could do nothing but watch as a wicked gleam crossed the normally emotionlessly android's face. Then with a ferocious speed Dr. Gero reached out, and pressed a small connecting button on the collar.

His body fell slack, and his vision clouded over. His mind began to clear itself of all thoughts, and soon he blacked out and fell to the ground. After a moment of unrelenting pain, all things seemed to cease to exist for the powerful Saiyan. It was if Goku Son had been reborn. In fact Goku was reborn. He had been reborn to reign death and destruction towards all mankind. That meant the destruction of any living being that traipse the Earth, and other surrounding planets. Goku Son was reborn to live a life filled with utter chaos and death.

Trunks Vegeta Briefs normally lived a sheltered life. He had a beautiful wife, a thriving career, he was a world protector, and he had enough strength to rival that of a thousand men. However, it wasn't enough to stop his death from happening. Fortunately when he died, he didn't have to wait in the long lines of Snake Way.

While he remained somewhat at peace in the other world, he had been troubled by the events transpiring on the planet Earth. He hated seeing his wife grieve, and most of all he hated witnessing the un-coming of a world that he'd come to love.

Even though his death had been a tragic event, he soon would face another heart breaking tradegy. When he died he hadn't known about the little life that was growing inside of his wife's body. Little did he know that the second chance of finding out about his wife's condition, was also going to be taken away from him once again.

Life in the other world had been chaotic at best. One never knew what was going to happen. He had certainly seen his fair share of petty arguments and disagreements. He was just getting used to the idea of disorder that surrounded him. However, when he was granted permission to check in on the planet Earth, he'd been shocked to find out how much his wife had been grieving. He'd been shocked to see her actually trying to bring him back to life from the jaws of death. He'd been shocked to find out about his best friends betrayal toward his sister. However it was the fact that Dende didn't grant their death's pardon, that had Trunks shocked most of all.

However, just as he was getting used to the idea of being on the other world, he soon found himself being pulled away from it. At first he thought that he was getting pulled into the pits of HFIL, because he could clearly remember how atrocious he used to be as a kid. It certainly felt liked he was being sucked into HFIL. In actuality being ripped away from the other world was even more painful than being killed in the car crash.

All that he was aware of was the fact that he was being forcefully taken from the one place that he had every right to be. He felt as if he was being attacked and invaded, and he had every intention of fighting back. However the thing with mind possesion, is that your mind as well as your body is no longer your own. Once Trunks was brought back to the lowly bowels od the planet Earth, after leaving the other world, he had one clear processing thought in his head. That thought was for him to "kill all Saiyans."

AN:

All right I know that was a sucky chapter. Just remember I wrote this chapter a while ago. I was probably suffering through writer's block or something. I'm also aware that I'm missing the part where it explains why Goten's turned evil. In my defense that part of my story was corrupted by the faulty disk that I was using. They had all these little symbols and marks and stuff. Therefore I had to totally rewrite that part. I'm working on that chapter now, and you better believe that it's hot. Red hot. I can't wait to show you guys and gals what I came up with. So I better go. I got some typing I have to do. Sorry about the sucky chapter. I'll make it up to you on the next chapter. Gotta go. Don't forget to RR, and let me know how sucky this really was.

Laters.
