Lost

"I'm starting to think the only reason you invite me to train with you is because you just want someone to keep winning against." Krillin complained as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Maybe if you focused on training more, instead of chasing after women, you wouldn't have such a tough time against me." Vegeta replied. He bent down to grab a cold soda from his fridge.

"Hey, just because you already found your significant other, doesn't mean you can look down on others who are still searching." Krillin teased as he caught the soda can from hitting his face. Opening it up, he took a sip from it. "You really lucked out though. Most girls wouldn't be so easygoing with their boyfriends spending their whole time training as much as Bulma is."

Something seem to click within Vegeta's mind when Krillin brought up Bulma, but he couldn't seem to put his finger on it. It felt like he had forgotten something important that involved her somehow….

"I mean, you kind have to feel for that girl though." Krillin continued on. "You two are a couple, yet you never spend any time together. Actually," Krillin said. "didn't your guys' anniversary recently pass by- Hey! You're sodas spilling!"

Vegeta looked down at the now crushed can in his hand. "Krillin… I screwed up."

Krillin was a little taken aback by his friends suddenly crushed mood. "Its alright buddy, we can get you a new soda."

Vegeta threw the can away in irritation. "Not the soda, you idiot! I screwed up with Bulma!" He shouted. "I was suppose to meet her at some fancy restaurant to celebrate our stupid anniversary. I'm over an hour late."

Krillin couldn't help, but let out some chuckles. "She's gonna kill you!"

Vegeta let out a growl. "I have to go." He said as he turned to leave. Maybe if he gets there quick enough, she won't be that mad about it.

"Let me know how it goes!" Krillin called out to him. He received a door slam in response.

Goku wiped the sweat forming on his head. The short, purple-skinned guy wasn't just any regular opponent. Although he wouldn't be quick to say he was at the same level as Dabura, he was still a tough opponent. Like he had suspected, this guy was aware of ki manipulation. From what he saw though it was the most basic form of it. Nothing fancy and complex like Dabura's.

Instead of trying to read his opponent, like Goku was, the short guy instead chose to drink out of some flask. "A little sloppy, don't you think?" Goku questioned, with a frown. He was more impatient than usual thanks to his current missing partner.

He had expected her to follow him, and provide backup if he needed any, but instead she was a no-show. In between her not showing up, and this new enemy separating him and Chi-Chi from the start of the fight, he had to assume this guy didn't come alone. They probably thought if they separated the both of them, they would have a better chance or something.

He knew a lot of their enemies underestimated Chi-Chi, especially the ki manipulator kind, but he was more aware than anyone of the kind of strength she possessed. He was confident in her abilities.

Still, he would have felt a lot more better if they were fighting next to each other, instead of apart.

In response to Goku's question, the small opponent took another swig from his flask, before wiping his mouth and putting it back inside his yellow overcoat. "You're stronger than I anticipated, Saiyaman. Your fight against Dabura showed you to be a lot less weaker than the skill you are showing now." The short man with shades stated.

Goku's brows knitted in confusion. "You talk as if you were there."

He smirked. "Not there, but well informed by all of the reports."

"Reports?" Goku repeated. Dabura had mentioned he was working for someone. The same as Berkowitz. Was this the guy who was ordering them all to attack Chi-Chi? "Who exactly are you? And why did you attack the city?"

"My creator calls me Android 15." He answered. "As for the city, well, you can say we were looking for something we lost."

Creator? Android 15? This guy was giving him more questions than answers. Still, there was one thing that stuck to him. "What do you mean by we?" Goku demanded, feeling a little more tense than before.

Before Android 15 had a chance to answer him, a loud explosion, from behind, captured both of their attention. From the distance, Goku could see the remaining glow of the blast. His eyes widen in alarm as he realized that was around the same area Chi-Chi was, before he left her.

He felt a strong sense of panic overcome him, and his body was already flying towards the direction of the explosion, before he realized it. He had barely gotten a few spaces away before Android 15 cut him off, forcing Goku to stop.

He tighten his fist in frustration knowing he was running out of time. "Move out of my way." He warned.

"C'mon man, you know its not going to be that simple." Android 15 said, with a smirk.

Those were the only words Goku needed as a roar erupted from inside of him, and he let out a surge of power. The wind around him whipped from the sheer power coming off of him, sending ripples of wind to Android 15, who looked hardly effected by it, as his clothes flapped around.

Android 15 was the first to move, appearing in front of a prepared Goku. He threw swift punches which were mostly blocked by Goku. Android 15 found his opening, and sent a powerful kick to Goku's gut, sending him off.

Goku crashed into a nearby building. Although his body was in pain, his anger was numbing him from feeling anything. He brought his hands closer to his hunched body, as he collected more energy, before letting it all out causing more of the building from behind him to be destroyed, freeing him once more.

Zeroing in on Android 15, who was still floating somewhere above him, Goku flew towards that direction like a bullet. His speed was fast enough to catch Android 15 off guard. He headbutted him on the stomach hearing a choked cry come from him.

Android 15 was helpless to do anything, but open his mouth from the loss of air, and have his body be sent back in the air, until he collided with a building.

Goku felt torn for a split second. He wanted to head off to Chi-Chi's side to make sure she was alright, but he knew Android 15 was not going to go down with just that.

His decision was already made when Android 15 appeared again, looking a little more torn up than before. He was scowling, as he wiped the blood from the side of his mouth. He was now missing his hat, revealing a glass-dome with mechanical things inside.

Instead of giving him a chance to recover, Goku pulled his two hands back a little, forming a small blue ball of energy. "Kame...Hame….Ha!"

Sensing immediate danger from that move, Android 15 flew upwards as fast as he could, avoiding the powerful blast. He wiped the small amount of sweat away from his forehead. "That was close." He said to himself. Collecting himself, he looked for Goku to plan his next attack. Only, he wasn't anywhere to be found.

He had recognize that attack. It was the same one he used to finish off Dabura. If he was planning on finishing him off the same way he finished off Dabura, he should have stayed in the same spot to use it to his full potential. Which meant he couldn't have moved that fast right after that blast…

Unless... he didn't use that move to its fullest potential! Of course! He was only using it as a diversion. Android 15 swiftly turned to the back of him a second too late as he came face to face with a glowing blue orb.

Goku released the powerful ki blast, backing up as his ki blast somehow caused a bigger explosion as soon as it made contact with Android 15. Goku brought his hand up trying to block the strong winds, and flying debris. Once it settled down more, there was only a small amount of smoke, and no sign of Android 15, besides bits and pieces of metal and scraps.

Goku wasted no time, as he flew at max speed, towards the area the other explosion had taken place. Android 15 wasted a lot of his time, so he could only hope Chi-Chi would be able to handle herself till he got to her.

The rain was hitting him harder than normal because of the speed he was flying in, but it hardly bothered him, as he stayed focused to his only task. He stopped flying, as he hovered around the estimated spot the blast had taken place.

Looking around, there was hardly any kind of sign of a fight. Was he wrong? Maybe he had mistaken lightning, or thunder for an explosion, and Android 15 was just taunting him. Still, that didn't explain why Chi-Chi never showed up.

"Lady Anonymous!" He shouted, fighting against the rain for being the loudest. She couldn't have gotten that far by foot.

He flew at a slower speed, trying to look through every corner. It wasn't long till he spotted something weird. He lowered to the ground until his feet touched the ground. In front of him was a building with two giant holes in it. Inside, he could see it was completely deserted, and trashed. Random chairs and tables were overturned, or broken. There were even some broken plates on the floor.

He was sure of it now. Chi-Chi had gotten caught up fighting some other mysterious enemy. Looking around the area, he saw no other sign of her being around. Could the enemy have taken her?

"Lady Anonymous!" He shouted even louder than before. If she was around, she would most likely be around the area he was at now, which meant he was better off on foot.

He followed the streets, and look through every corner, trying to look for some kind of sign of Chi-Chi. He went through a couple of alleys, and looked inside some buildings. He had even made sure to keep an eye out for rooftops, but he still hadn't manage to find even a glimpse of her. Even when he called her name out, he would receive nothing back, but the sound of the rain.

He had started to get nervous about the situation, until he entered another alley. Giving it a quick glance over, he had almost continued on his way until he spotted familiar pink boots. Running into the alley, he finally felt his body relax when he seen she was alright.

She was unconscious, and there were little cuts and scratched on her, but she was breathing, and present. Kneeling, he lifted her upper body, so that she was leaning against him. Her body was colder than usual.

"Lady Anonymous." He said, as he tried to wake her up. There was faint movement accompanied by a slight groan that escaped her, but other than that she stayed passed out in his arms. Calling her name out again, he shook her a little harder.

Finally, she began to open her eyes a little. Starring up at him, she stayed in the same position for awhile, before she seemed to understand the situation a little more. Rubbing her eyes, she moved to sit up on her own. "Ugh… what happened?"

"That's what I'd like to know." Goku replied. "I was in the middle of my fight with that guy, when I saw some kind of blast hit over here. I tried to come immediately, but he wouldn't let me go so easily, so I had to finish my fight first. What happened? Did another enemy show up?"

As soon as Goku mentioned a blast, it all clicked. Standing up, she put a hand on her face, sliding it across. "Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no." She looked back up at a confused Goku. "We have to go. We need to go now."

"Calm down. First tell me what happened." Goku asked.

"When that guy took you away, I went to follow you guys, but I was stopped by someone else. It was some weird guy. He was really tall, and his skin had this silver tint to it, and he had really long hair, that was all tied up in a braid." She described. "He was really strong too. It was kind of a losing battle, and then he used some kind of powerful ki blast on me." She bit her lip as she remembered it. "I ran into Bulma a little before that."

"Bulma?!" Goku exclaimed. "What was she doing all the way over here?"

"Goku." She stressed, trying to get him to focus on the more important details. "I-I tried to tell her to leave, but I guess she still stayed somewhere nearby. When the blast hit me, I knocked out for a few seconds. When I came too, I couldn't even move my body. The guy was most likely somewhere around, and I couldn't move. I had basically given up hope. That's when Bulma came." She revealed. "She pulled me to safety, and I passed out again. And now she's not here."

Goku knew what that meant. "Why would they want to take Bulma though." He asked.

"I'm not sure either, but we need to start looking for her, before… before it's too late." She stated.

"You're right, but-" Goku was cut off by the sound of someone suddenly taking off. Goku took one glance at the sky, and let out a curse. "Get on." He told Chi-Chi, as he turned and crouched, so she could hold onto him.

He flew both of them up fast enough to cut off Vegeta. "What are you doing?" Goku asked him.

"Vegeta, I know you and Bulma are close, but me and Saiyaman can't let you get involve with this. Leave it to us. We'll find her." Chi-Chi said, using her Lady Anonymous voice.

Vegeta ignored her, and focused his attention on Goku. "Move out of my way, or I'll move you out of my way, Kakarot."

Chi-Chi was about to reply, when she faltered a bit. "He knows your true identity?" She exclaimed.

Goku knew Vegeta was mad, but to just sell him out like that? "Krillin and him, sort of... figured it out on their own."

"And Krillin? That's already three people." She said, before lowering her voice for her next question. "They don't know about me, do they?"

"Of course not." He assured. "I'm telling you they just figured out it was me."

Meanwhile, Vegeta could feel his patience wearing thinner and thinner as the pair continued to get of topic. No longer playing nice, Vegeta raised his ki, releasing a strong amount of raw energy, that blew the two heroes back. Without even sparing a glance at either of them, Vegeta took off again.

"We need to stop him." Chi-Chi said, as she moved her hair out of her face.

"We can't." Goku replied. "Not when it involves Bulma. Besides, it won't be so bad having Vegeta on our side. We need all the help we can get, if we want to find Bulma fast." Goku explained as he pulled out a phone.

"Who are you calling?" Chi-Chi questioned in confusion.

Instead of answering her, Goku waited till the other line picked up. "Krillin? Something bad happened…"

Krillin stopped flying when he reached the spot Goku told him to be at. He let himself fall, landing on the ground. He had never been around this city, so everything was really unfamiliar to him. Plus it was starting to get dark. Giving him an unwelcome feeling of uneasiness.

From what Goku had told him, Lady Anonymous and him were planning on following Vegeta, and look for Bulma on the northern side of the city where they thought the kidnapper was most likely at. Just in case though Goku wanted him to cover the southern side of the city.

Starting off at a random place, Krillin ran across the lonely street stepping on some puddles. Luckily for him, it had stopped raining. The wind, on the other hand, was just as fierce.

With it being unfamiliar territory to him, everything looked suspicious. At least if he was in West City, he'd be able to tell which buildings were more suspicious than others. He just hopes his usual bad luck doesn't catch up with him, and he ends up being the one to find the kidnapper.

He wanted to help find Bulma too, but he wouldn't be much help to her if he had to be the one to fight the kidnapper. Goku had mentioned he knew about ki. He's never fought anyone who used ki besides Goku and Vegeta, and compared to those two, he sucked.

Before he could dwell on his current situation any longer, he felt a slight tick in his mind. It was the same tick that told him when there was a high energy level nearby. If there was one ability he was confident in, it was his ki reading skills. That was the only thing Goku and Vegeta both lacked in, and he was good at.

He followed the signal as it got stronger and stronger. It wasn't long till he stumbled across the most suspicious looking building he's seen so far…. An abandoned warehouse.

'A warehouse? Really. The bad guys couldn't find something a little more cliché?'

Sighing, he went to the side of the building, as he ducked down, and tried to look inside of the building. Most of the windows were broken, but they were boarded up by wood. Although there were enough cracks in between the wood for Krillin to peer through the windows were to dusty for him to have a clear view of what was inside.

Krillin stayed glued to the spot he was in, unsure of what to do. He was almost a hundred percent positive, Bulma's kidnapper was inside. He was around the area Bulma was kidnapped from, and he could feel someone with a high ki level inside. This had to be where they were at. Should he call Goku, and wait for him to get here?

No! He couldn't do that. What if Bulma was being tortured in there right now? How could he live with himself if he just spent the whole time waiting for Goku while Bulma got tortured. Making up his mind, he made his way to the front of the door. Taking a deep breath, he swung it open, and ran inside.

"Bulma! Are you in… here..." Krillin lost his momentum as he really took in the kind of situation he just walked in on. Instead of finding his blue-haired friend in the middle of some kind of torture, he found three surprised pair of eyes on him…..

All belonging to two familiar guys, and the same blonde chick he danced with at Bulma's party. Looks like his bad luck ended up catching up with him after all….

"Oof!" Bulma let out as she was suddenly pushed into some random room. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were bound together. "Hey, what's the big idea! I already said I'd cooperate. Why'd you tie me up for?"

"Shut up!" The white-haired man yelled. "I have to make a few phone calls first, then I'll decide if there's any point in keeping you alive. I knew you'd be some kind of air-headed rich girl, but you must be a special kind of dumb, if you let yourself get into a situation like this."

Bulma glared, but kept her mouth shut.

"Good." He said in his country accent. "You've been lucky so far, but I have a feeling your luck is about to run out." He told her, before turning to leave.

Bulma stayed still on the hard cold ground, until she made sure he was gone. How could she have gotten herself stuck in this situation? Why didn't she chose to stay silent? Why wasn't anyone saving her yet? She was going to die now, and it was all her fault….

Is stuff she would have said if she wasn't a freakin' genius!

"I'll show you an air-headed rich girl!" She muttered to herself, as she moved her hands around to activate the laser button on her watch. Once her hands were free, she worked on the ropes on her feet. Once done with those, she stood up, stretching out her cramped body.

Going to the door, she used a bobby pin to pick the lock. Slowly, pushing it open, she checked to make sure there was no one in the hallway. Finding it clear, she went outside. So far, escaping was a piece of cake for her. These guys were morons! Did they really think, leaving the daughter of one of the smartest scientist, alone, was a good idea?

If they did their research, they would know she wasn't just a regular rich kid who had no brains. Lucky her, she was stuck with a pair of idiots! Now all she had to do was find her way out of this building, and she was free!

Not only did she save Lady Anonymous, but she also basically saved herself. All on her own. She gave herself a lot less credit than she really should be. She was freakin' amazing!

Holding her dress up from the bottom, she ran around the building, quietly, until she spotted a door that looked like it lead to the outside. Feeling a bubble of happiness from inside her, she practically sprinted down the stairs, towards the door.

During her fifth step, she caught glance of a blur, almost giving her a heart attack. In her panic, she missed her next step causing her to fall down the stairs. Towards the end of her fall, she hit something hard like a wall causing her to bounce backwards, and land on her butt.

Rubbing her now bruised bottom, she looked up only to see the same scary, giant man the Lady Anonymous was fighting. Bulma let out a squeak, trying to back up further away from the scary guy. She let out a nervous chuckle. "Uh.. hey. S-Sorry about hitting you… ha-ha… I was just… leaving." She said, before trying to make a run for it.

The giant man easily caught her by her arm dangling her up. "You are suppose to be in a cell." He said in a monotone voice.

"Hey!" Bulma cried out. "Let me go! Your hurting me!"

"Android 14! What's all the ruckus?" The white-haired man from before, called out. "Is it that dang prisoner again! I warned you, girl. 14, take care of her, I still haven't reached him yet, so we can't kill her just yet. Just make sure I can't hear her anymore."

Android 14 nodded before grabbing Bulma by the shoulders to have her face him. "Hey what are you-!" 14 blew a weird kind of dust out of his mouth, that hit Bulma.

Immediately she began to feel a sense of numbness. As hard as she tried she couldn't move her body as she stayed helpless against Android 14's arms. 'Why can't I move?'

Slowly she started to feel a little hazy. 'I-I'm going to lose consciousness'. As that thought passed through her, her eyes slowly closed, but not before she heard one last thing.

"Bulma!"

Hey guys. Sorry about the late update, this one was on me. There was a few bumps I had with writing this chapter. Particularly the part where Goku is fighting Android 15. I felt like my fights were starting to sound kind of repetitive, so I tried to change it up, which was a lot harder than I though. I'm not even sure if I did that scene justice. I hoped you guys like this though. It was short, but there was more stuff happening in this. I liked how I kind of gave everyone the spotlight in this. Anyways, if this story keeps going the way I want it, there should only be this mini arc, and then the final one. I should probably start planning out the ending in detail...

Son-AbyGC: Thank you! :DD Love your review as usual. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! c:

Aditjn238: Thanks! Haha he was tied up with some things, but don't worry! We got him back! So am I! I hope to have her growing as a character more in this. I feel like I don't focus on her enough sometimes :c Haha I will! Hope you liked it!

Gokuu the Carrot: For me, its pretty much a party if there's cake! Oh cool, my sister just turned 13. I have another who just turned 16... or 15. Its hard to keep track. I have three sisters. Aww! That is one of the best thing someone has told me ;-; Haha yeah I think even in that roundabout way, I still got a little jinxed : Haha you did? Yeah I've been there before. Aw, I know, I feel bad every time I get a new review for that story. Haha okay! Can't wait to hear from you again!

Generala: Haha, hopefully this chapter has answered some of your questions... but maybe its bought out some new ones :D Lol Hoped you liked it!

The Millenium Master: Haha thanks! A lot of my inspiration for this story did come from them. Hehe now do you know? Aw, that sucks! I'm glad you still took the time to read the chapter despite that though! Hope to hear from you again! Nice new name btw! And thanks for the heads up.
