Dragonball Extreme

Chapter Three

Betrail

Lunako entered her apartment feeling numb and cold. Everything felt wrong. The apartment was so empty. She knew she'd have to get use to it since she was alone now. She looked down at her bloodstained hands and clothes. She was glad she hadn't ran into anyone comeing up. People would have thought she had been in a terrable acsadent. Lunako felt a sharp pain in her arm, and for the first time she noticed the scrap of Goku's gi tied around her arm where Lee had cut her. Fresh tears begain to fall as she leaned against the closed door. She started to sob as she leaned there misrably. Finally she shuved herself off the door and walked to the kitchen. That's were Lunako found the vase of roses Goku had brought in for her that afternoon. The tears kept comeing as she walked over to them and picked the vase up.

"I wanted you to watch your back. I told you to stay away from Lee because he was going to kill you." Lunako murmured sadly.

Her tears started to dry up as her depression turned into rage.

"Why couldn't you listen to me!" She demanded.

As if to answer her, thunder rolled, lightning flashed, and rain begain to pour.

"WHY! Why couldn't you just listen to me!" She screamed as she threw the vace against a far wall.

The vase shatered makeing glass and blood red rose petals fall to the floor as Lunako droped to her knees and covered her face with her hands.

"Goku." she whispered between sobs.

Lee awoke in the old construction site. He didn't remember anything that had happened. In fact the last thing he did remember was his dream about Dende.

"W...what happened?" he mumbled as he tride to remember how he had gotten to the construction site and why he was wearing strange clothes.

He looked at his katana and saw blood incrusted on it. His brain suddenly produced a flashback of him fighting Goku, then stabing him. Lee looked on the ground and saw that the rain was washing away the blood. Lee also saw motorcycle tracks. Goku must have gotten away. Lee knew he needed to find Goku and make sure he was alive. He kind of hoped Goku was dead, because faceing a man that was over a hundred years old, but looked like he was twenty-something, and was a master of the martial arts didn't seem all that apealing to him. Lee got up and quickly took to the sky. It would be easier to fly to Son Goku's apartment building. He started to come up with all kinds of apologes, and tried to figure out who or what had been controleing him and makeing him try to kill Goku.

Jared sat watching the orb with his two companions. They could see Lunako very clearley. She had washed the blood off of herself and thrown away the clothes she had been wearing. Now she was curled up on the couch asleep.

"So. She is the Saiyan Princess Endive reincarnated." said the first of Jared's companions.

His name was Edwardo. He had long red hair, purple eyes, and was slender. The other companion was Roberto. He was a tall man with blondish hair and brown eyes. He was built almost like Goku.

"Yes. She may come in handy in the future." Jared said still talking about Lunako.

"We'll keep a note of that." Edwardo said with a sadistic smile.

A knock to the door woke Lunako up. At first she thought that if she ignored it, whoever was knocking would go away, but the knocking only grew louder.

"I'm comeing. I'm comeing!" Lunako hissed when the knocking grew even louder.

She got off the couch and truged to the door. She opened it and was startled to see Lee standing there. With a yelp, Lunako slamed the door in Lee's face and bolted it.

"Lunako, please let me in." Lee said through the door.

"Get out of here! Leave me alone!" Lunako yelled.

"Lunako, please." Lee begged.

"You took Goku away from me. What more do you want!" Lunako yelled as tears rolled down her face.

"Listen, Lunako, I'm not here to hurt you." Lee said pleadingly.

"Bull shit! You killed Goku, Lee! You killed him!" Lunako sobed.

She couldn't hold back her anger any longer. Nor her saiyan instinct wanting to fight. She unbolted the door and yanked it open. She ran at Lee and begain to pound him with her fists. Over and over she struck him in the chest knowing very well that it wasn't hurting him any. Lee grabed Lunako's wrists forceing her to stop. She tride to snatch out of his grasp, but it was no good. He was stronger than her. He picked her up and slung her over his shoulder in a fireman carry.

"Put me down or I'll scream!" Lunako threatened.

Lee ignored her as he entered her apartment and closed the door behind him. He bolted the door, then sat Lunako on the couch. She stood right back up and slaped lee as hard as she could acrss his face. Lee's head snaped back and he stagered backwards, but quickly cought his balance. Lunako held her head up in defiance. She inhaled getting ready to scream. Lee quickly jumped to her side and clamped a hand over her mouth. He shuved her back down onto the couch then sat on her.

"Look, I never ment to hurt anyone, but if you keep this up, I'm seariously going to rethink my decision on killing you." Lee said as Lunako's eyes went wide in alarm. "Maybe that wasn't the best thing to say. How about if I take my hand off your mouth. You promise not to scream?" Lee asked with a sigh.

Lunako nodded slowly, and lee moved his hand and got off of her. He sat on the coffie table infront of her.

"I never ment to hurt anyone. I'm sorry about what happened. To be honest, I don't even remember what happened." Lee apologized.

"You kidnaped me, used me for bate to get Goku, then you killed him. Ring a bell?" Lunako growled.

"Sorry, but no it doesn't. Lunako, I think someone's messing with us. You and I need to stick together." Lee said.

"I want you to leave. Now." Lunako growled.

"Nope. I'm staying here tonight." Lee said.

"The hell you are!" Lunako yelled.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Lee said with a shrug.

"Lee, I want you out now!" Lunako yelled loudly.

Lee once more picked Lunako up, but this time he took her to her room and droped her on her bed. Then he turned and closed the door, sealing it shut with a bit of ki energy.

"Let me out, you basterd!" Lunako yelled, slaming her fists against the door.

"This is for your own good." Lee said.

"Like hell!" Lunako yelled.

"You say that a lot." Lee said as he walked to the other room, whitch was Goku's.

He took his clothes off except for his boxers and lay down on the bed. A couple of minutes later he was fast asleep. It only took five more minutes of crying before Lunako also feel asleep.

"I know that you haven't completely healed yet or regained all of your stringth, but you must return to Lunako." Sailor Pluto said to Goku who was laying on a slab of stone in a palace like place.

"Thanks for your help, Pluto. I would have died..." Goku begain as he stood up.

"It wasn't entirely my doing. The Dragonballs put you in a state of suspended animation and healed the worst of your wounds." Pluto explained.

"Yeah, but if you hadn't brought me here to the Crystal Palace I probably would be in a morgue right now." Goku said with a smile.

"You and Lunako must hurry and find the other Dragonball Carriors. Each one is being held in what is called a C.R.T. at the different Capsule Corp buildings around the world." Pluto said.

"What's a C.R.T.?" Goku asked.

"It means Coldstorage Rejuvination Tanks." Pluto said.

Goku only staired at her blankly.

"They were put in refrigarater like boxes that would make them young again and keep them alive for at least one hundred years." Pluto explained.

"Oh! Okay." Goku said still not completely understanding all of it.

"Anyway, you must hurry and return to Lunako." Pluto said.

"Right. Thanks, Pluto." Goku said.

"Don't thank me yet." Pluto said sheepishly.

"Huh?" Goku asked.

"Lee was not suppose to go to the girls." Edwardo stated.

"What does it matter. He doesn't remember what happened at all. Now we can keep an eye on the both of them until we need them." Roberto said with an amused smile.

"There's strange activity going on in the construction site." Jared said.

"What?" Edwardo asked.

"It...it's the Dragonballs!" Jared exclaimed.

"What!" his two companions yelled.

In the same construction site that Lee and Goku had fought in, a small sphere with four stars appered. Six other spheres appered around it. All haveing stars in them that number from one to seven. Just then an old man ran and grabed up all seven spheres, then ran to a nearby abandoned building. He allighned the spheres perfectly and steped back to admire his work.

"Finally! Wealth and power will be mine! I shall be king of the world! Come forth Shinlon!" the old man cackled.

The spheres begain to glow brightly as black clouds gathered outside. Lightning flashed and arced through the clouds. Back inside, the old man watched as the spheres grew even brighter. Then something strange happened. All the spheres spun around quickly, then with a flash of light they were replaced by a tall man wearing a battle torn gi. The man was built very well, but looked very tired and weak. He had large deep brown eyes and black spikey hair that stuck out in every direction on his head.

"You're not Shinlon." the old man said with a mix of shock and disapointment.

"No. I'm not, and don't even think about useing my ass as a magic lamp and rubeing on me or I'll kick you." the younger man said with a smile.

The old man left in a huff.

"The Dragonballs were inside Son Goku all along." Roberto said in awe.

"Getting the Dragonballs is our main objective. I thought Lee would be the one who would lead us to them. They've been right under our noses the whole time." Jared growled.

"Then we must now capture Son Goku and get the Dragonballs. Then we'll kill him again." Edwardo said with an evil grin.

"We'll use the girl. She's the best way to get to him." Roberto advised.

"Agreed." Jared and Edwardo said in unison.

Lunako was awakened by a soft taping at her balcany door. Lunako sat up and looked out the door. Outside stood Goku. Lunako obviously thought she was seeing things. She wiped her eyes and looked again, but he was still there. Lunako pinched herself to see if she was dreaming, but the slight pain indicated otherwise. Lunako got out of bed and slowly walked over to the balconey door. It was raining outside. Goku was soaking wet, but he waited patiantly for Lunako to open the door for him to come in.

"Are you really Goku?" Lunako asked in a shakey voice.

"Yeah. It's me. Don't be afraid. You know I couldn't hurt you for the world, Tenshi." Goku said useing Lunako's nickname that only he called her.

"It is you!" Lunako exclaimed as tears spilled over her cheeks.

She flung open the door just intime for Goku to start to fall.

"Goku, no!" Lunako yelled, catching him before he completely fell.

"I just need some rest. I used up too much of my stringth." Goku said.

Lunako helped him to his feet and into the room. From there she helped him to the bed. Goku layed down and closed his eyes as Lunako inspected his wounds on his body. The two worst ones were completely healed. The one over his ribs and the one on his leg and shoulder were healing nicely but still looked a bit raw. Lunako pulled a first aid kit out from under her bed. Out of the first aid kit she pulled out some salve and a roll of bandages. She smeared the salve over Goku's wounds as he flinched in pain. Afterwards, Lunako bandaged the wounds carefully, then cleaned up her mess and put the first aid kit away.

"So, how long do I have, Doc?" Goku asked teasingly.

"I don't care if that was a joke, don't say things like that." Lunako grumbled.

"Sorry. Really, I am." Goku said as he slowly sat up.

"Lay back down. You need to rest." Lunako said with a restraining hand against Goku's chest.

Goku grabed Lunako's wrist and pulled her down onto the bed with him. He crushed her lips with his in a wild kiss of passion. Her hand went to the back of his head, as his went to her back pulling her up against him. When the kiss ended, the two lay there breathless and dazed. Lunako was holding the front of Goku's tunic as she lay her forhead against his chest. Goku had a hand buried in Lunako's hair and his other arm around her waist. It didn't take long for the two to fall asleep in each other's arms.

Lee awoke somewhere around Five A.M. He crept out of his room and down the hall to Lunako's room. He put an ear to the door and heard loud snoring. Lee unfused the door and opened it to see to his complete shock, Goku sleeping with Lunako. Lee put a hand over his mouth to supress a nervous giggle and shut the door. Then he quickly ran back to his room, closed his door and locked it. Then he passed out on the bed.

Goku was standing in a large open field. The wind blew around him bringing the fragrance of spring roses his way. The stars glittered like crystals and the full moon shone brightly. Lunako stood on the other side of the field looking sadly at Goku as the wind blew her long ebony hair around her shoulders. It was all so beautiful yet all so wrong. Why did Lunako look sad.

"Goku, you must leave before it's too late." her words were so low, Goku almost didn't hear them.

"What's going on, Tenshi?" Goku asked.

Before Lunako could respond, a giant black hole opened behind her. The wind shifted, pulling everything towards the black hole.

"Goku, please leave now!" Lunako yelled as she was pulled into the black whole.

"Lunako!" Goku yelled reaching out for her.

Clouds gathered in the sky as thunder rolled. Lightning flashed and struck a tree nearby makeing it fall a few feet behind Goku. A granit piller rose up infront of him as the ground shook vilently. On top of the piller, another black hole appered, but this time Lunako steped out of it. She had changed. Now she was wearing a long black gown and her hair stuck out saiyanishly. Her eyes glowed crimson as she leared down at Goku.

"Don't you get it, Kakarrot? You can't stop this." Lunako purred as she jumped from the piller and landed gracefully beside Goku. "You can't stop me."

A flash of light blinded Goku. When he was able to see again, Lunako was standing over his bound and gaged body. He could barely make out where he was. Some sort of dark palace. Lunako smiled and begain to laugh as she viciously kicked Goku in the ribs. Goku grunted in pain when Lunako kicked him a second time. Then she reached down and grabed the collar of his shirt, hauling him to his feet. Goku tride to snatch out of her grasp, but failed as the ropes around his wrists begain to cut into his flesh.

"Nice try, Kakarrot. Give me the Dragonballs." Lunako growled.

Unable to speak because of the gag, Goku only shook his head no.

"Hmph. Fine. I'll take them from you by force." Lunako said as she drew her saber and cut Goku from neck to navel.

Goku watched in horror as his insides fell to the floor, and the seven Dragonballs appered in the mess. Lunako laughed as she droped Goku and gathered the Dragonballs up into her arms. She held the Four-Star Dragonball to her mouth and licked Goku's blood from it slowly. Afterwards she looked over at Goku and grined evilly.

Goku sat up with a start from his nightmare. Sweat dotted his face and chest. Lunako also sat up wide awake.

"Daijoubu ka?" Lunako asked.

"Yeah." Goku mumbled.

"Good. Then please unwrap your tail from around my leg." Lunako said.

"Oh. Gomen." Goku said doing as Lunako had asked. "Everything's okay. Go back to sleep."

Not haveing to be told twice, Lunako shrugged and did just that.

Lee pulled himself up off his bed and looked out the window.

"Damn sun." he said, closeing the blinds.

He lay back down and started to drift back to sleep. Minutes later, the alarm clock went off.

"Damn country music." Lee growled as "There's a Tear in My Beer" came from the radio/alarmclock.

He picked up the alarmclock and threw it into the wall, breaking it into a thousand pices. Just then a knock came to the bedroom door.

"Time to get up, Lee." Lunako called.

Lee ripped his face off the pillow and floated over to the door, opening it. Lunako greeted him with a semi-fake smile.

"Breakfast will be ready soon." Lunako said cheerfully.

Lee wiped the sleep crap from his eyes as he grunted his thanks. He closed the door, and walked back over to the bed to flop down on it. The door burst open as Goku walked in and grabed Lee by the ear.

"Come on! Breakfast is ready, and Tenshi wont let me eat until we're all at the table!" Goku said as he drug Lee out of the room and to the breakfast table.

Seeing a huge stack of pancakes, Lee sat down willingly, and lifted up his fork. Within seconds, the three foot stack of pancakes was devoured by Lee and Goku.

"Okawari." both men said as they held out their empty plates to Lunako.

Lunako's jaw droped. Sighing, she took thir plates and went into the kitchen to fix more food.

"They eat too damn much." Lunako grumbled.

Before she could start cooking, a hand was suddenly clamped over her mouth, and an arm wraped around her waist. Her capture teleported both himself and her, out of the kitchen.

Goku felt a disturbance in the air and knew that Lunako's ki had suddenly vanished. It hadn't vanished completely, it was just far away. He got up so fast his chair toppled over.

"Hey, Goku, what's wrong?" Lee asked.

"Lunako's gone. Someone has just kidnapped her. The ki I felt for a second felt like Jared's." Goku explained.

"Jared? Who's Jared?" Lee asked.

"One of those guys who tride to controle you. Tride to make you kill me." Goku answered.

"We have to save Lunako." Lee said also standing.

"They are after the Dragonballs. That must be what they've been after the whole time. I can't carry all seven in my body anymore. It's too risky. We don't have time to awaken all six, but one should be okay for now." Goku mumbled mostly to himself.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lee asked.

"Come on. I'll explain on the way." Goku said.

Meanwhile, Lunako was undergoing the same treatment as Lee had undergone.

"Well, Jared, the girl has been captured and is currently undergoing treatment." Roberto said.

"Good speed up the process. I want her back down there." Jared said.

"Getting hasty now? Roberto asked.

"No. It's just that female saiyans tend to be worse than their male counterparts when they are pissed. If we are not careful, the princess could destroy this whole world and us with it." Jared answered.

"Relax. Everything is under controle." Roberto said smileing.

"I hope you are right." Jared said as he turned to watch the moniter that displayed Lunako.

"As soon as we get there, I'll release Vegeta while you look for any documents that might tell us where the other carriors are." Goku explained as he and Lee flew towards Satan City.

The old Capsule Corp. building had been abandoned for almost fifteen years. The new head of the company had moved everything to a bigger, better, more hightech building. Everything had been moved except for the C.R.T that contained Vegeta. Goku figured this for a small miracle.

"Come on, Lee. Pick up the pace. We're waisting time!" Goku exclaimed as he started to fly faster.

"Hey! Wait up!" Lee cried out.

Lunako stood in the same construction site that Lee and Goku had fought in. Her long black dress and spikey hair fluttered in the wind. She smiled evilly as her now crimson eyes glittered.

"Use your voice to lure them here. Your voice has a power of it's own and will have a power over anyone who hears it. Capture Son Goku and once we have the Dragonballs..." Jared begain.

"This planet will be ours. Don't worry. I'll bring Goku and Lee here." Lunako said as her smile grew.

Then she opened her mouth and begain to sing.

"Shhhh. Do you hear that?" Goku asked as he stoped flying abruptly and almost makeing Lee crash into him.

They could hear faint singing in the distance. Goku could feel Lunako's ki closer now than before. Both Goku and Lee had a sudden urge to fly to the sorce of the singing. Lee was the only one who could resist.

"It's Tenshi! She's alright!" Goku exclaimed as he held two fingers to his forhead and teleported to Lunako.

"Goku, no it's a trap!" Lee yelled, but it was already too late, he would have to awaken Vegeta on his own.

Goku reappered in the constructio site and wished he hadn't when he saw the Lunako from his nightmare standing before him. His eyes met hers and everything seemed to melt away as he begain to feel like he was going to drown in her eyes. Goku had a dazed look on his face as his eyes glazed over. Lunako walked over to Goku. She walked around him and put her arms around his waist from behind. Then, steping on the tips of her toes, she lay her head on his shoulder.

"You're mine now." Lunako whispered seductively into his ear.

Lee snuck into the old Capsule Corp. Main Scientific Development Storage Building. In a room, way at the back of the building, was a door marked "Cold Storage". Lee walked over to the door and yanked it off it's henges. Then threw it aside. He walked into the Cold Storage room and over to a tank like object. Inside the tank lay a young man with black spikey hair, a light complextion, and wearing only a black pair of jeans. Lee pressed a butten on the side of the tank makeing the top slide off with a hiss. Smoke billowed up and out of the tank, covering the room. About five seconds later, the young man stood stairing at Lee.

"Vegeta?" Lee asked

"Who the hell are you?" Vegeta asked.

Lunako stood admireing her handy work. Goku was hanging, unconciouss, from chains that had been wraped twice around his thys, ankles, forarms, and wrists. Lunako had taken them both back to Jared's palace. She was keeping Goku in a dungion, deep under ground. Lunako grined as she floated over to Goku. The chains that bound him were holding him in midair. It would be a long drop to the floor below. Goku growned as he slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and glaired at Lunako.

"Hey, Goku. Do you like being dominated?" Lunako asked as she cracked the whip she had been holding.

Lunako laughed at her own wit, but Goku didn't find it particulerly funny. As soon as she could controle her laughter, Lunako floated down to a chair she had pulled into the room.

"If you give me the Dragonballs, I'll let you go." Lunako said as she sat in her chair.

"Sorry, but I'd never give the Dragonballs to you or your masters."Goku hissed.

"That's too bad." Lunako said as she pointed a hand at Goku and threw a large kiai that hit him and seemed to shock him.

It was like electricity was corsing through his body as he cried out in pain.

"Don't you see how foolish this is? Stop resisting, Goku. Give in." Lunako ordered.

"N...no. I can't give them to you." Goku growled between clinched teeth.

"Stubbern fool." Lunako grumbled as she threw a second electrical inhanced kiai.

Goku clinched his teeth together harder to keep from screaming, but a groan excaped his throat. Lunako watched as Goku's body went limp, looking like a forgotten marrionet.

"Look at you. You've been beaten. Stop struggling. You're just makeing it harde on yourself." Lunako said with an almost pleading look on her face.

"Tenshi, this isn't like you. You would never do something like this." Goku said weakly.

"You're leaving me little choice." Lunako murmured sadly.

"Lunako-chan, don't do this." Goku said as he looked into her eyes with a look Lunako couldn't quite read.

Lunako looked away as she hit Goku with yet another electrfied kiai. A scream tore from Goku's throat as Lunako blinked back tears and wondered why she was crying. She floated up to Goku and loveingly carresed his face.

"If you would just give me the Dragonballs, no harm would come to you." Lunako whispered.

"Do you know what will happen to the Earth if Jared and them get the Dragonballs?" Goku asked as he tride to catch his breath. "They'll destroy it. Everything that you loved, that I loved, that your mother loved, will be destroyed. What would your mother think if she saw you now?"

"Shut up! Shut...up!" Lunako screamed in rage.

She grabed Goku's injured shoulder and begain to punch him where his side had been injured by Lee earlier. Goku spat up blood as Lunako continued to punch him. Snearing, Lunako struck him across the face, then floated down to her chair.

"You can't let them controle you like this! Think about the fate of the Earth. I wont let you or anyone else destroy it, so instead, why don't you help me defend it? If you truely love me, help me defend this planet I cherish. I've lived here for nearly two hundred years. I have so many good memories. Please...help me." Goku begged.

Tears slid down Lunako's face. She grabed her head as pain ripped through it. She cried out then fell to her knees. Lunako then slowly looked up at Goku with her normal choclate brown eyes, as tears rolled down her face.

"I'm sorry, Goku. I'm so sorry." Lunako said just before she passed out.

"Tenshi!" Goku yelled as he powered up enough to break his chains and fly down to her.

He gently picked her up and held her to him. He had felt so strange as she had been torchering him. He knew it was only mind controle, but it had made him feel so hurt. Heartbroken to be exact. He never wanted to feel that way again. He truely loved Lunako and didn't want to have to fight her. Now he was releaved. He had his Tenshi back, and he was never going to let anyone touch her again. Or at least he hoped.

"Don't worry. I'll get us out of here." Goku murmured to the unconciouss saiyan princess.

But before he could even get out of the dungion, something hard struck the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Jared stood over the two saiyans, frowning down at them.

"It wasn't suppose to happen like this." he said.

"Lock the girl up. Prepare Son Goku for surgrey. I'll cut the damn thing out of him." Roberto growled angrily.

Not too far away, Lee and Vegeta were flying to the palace that Jared resided in, using the dragon radar to guide them. If they didn't hurry, Goku and Lunako would both be killed.
