Mean Things Come at a Price
Gohan and the group entered the plaice doors, and once they all made it inside. The Princess could smell them, and it wasn't a pretty smell.
"You guys stink, why don't you take a dip before you see my father."
"That's fine."
Vanlash said, everyone nodded their heads, and Gohan just stood there, looking at the floor. The Princess smiled.
"Follow me."
The group followed the Princess. Gohan looked down at his wrist, where his scar was, he touched it with other hand. Just as he looked up, Gohan saw a girl walk threw a door, Gohan turned his head and looked at the door as she entered it, and closing it behind her.
"We're here."
The Princess opened the door and inside was a pool, with a waterfall running down. There were plants and other things around the poor area.
"This pool will wash your dirt away and into vents, it takes a couple of minutes before you are complete clean. The maid will get you your bathing trunks."
Vanlash, and the rest of his crew bowed down to the Princess. The Princess bowed her head as the maid gave the men a creamy white short skirt, and gave Rexter a tube top with a short skirt, also a creamy white. The maid showed the boys were to dress, as the Princess showed Rexter. After a few minutes. Rexter, Vanlash, Tomack, and Weller were in the water. Gohan followed slowly behind. It seemed that he had starch marks on the side of his stomach. Once he made it at the water, he froze, looking down at it.
"Get in boy."
Vanlash said as Gohan didn't take his eyes off the water. Everyone but Vanlash rolled their eyes.
"Nothing will happen, it's just water."
"Like the last time?"
Gohan said as he lifted his head and looked over at Vanlash.
"That was only a little trick."
"What if it happens again."
***************FLASHBACK***************
A 12 year old Gohan looked down at the water before him, it had been over 5 months since he had been taken. Vanlash and the crew were in a lake getting washed up. Gohan had blood all over himself. Gohan slowly walked into the lake.
"Hurry up so we can leave."
Tomack said as the crew looked over at Gohan as he started to walk into the water. The water went up to his chest as he looked over at Vanlash.
"Well something happen if I get the collar wet?"
Gohan asked as the crew started laughing.
"If I can make that thing control a power like yours, don't you think I can make it water proof?"
Weller said as he dipped under the water. Gohan still didn't believe, but then, Weller took Gohan's leg and caused him to trip, causing the collar to hit the water. Once it did, the collar shocked Gohan, causing him to pass out.
***************End of Flashback******************
"Just shut up and get into the water, before I make you."
Gohan sat on the edge and walked into the water, it went up to his waist. Gohan signed in relief as he started putting water on his arms. It felt nice to be in the water. When he was younger, Gohan loved to go swimming. Every time he was upset about something, he would just take a dip and his worries would flout away. Tomack looked over at Rexter, she smiled as she looked over at Weller, he just rolled his eyes and smiled, then Tomack looked over at Vanlash, who nodded his head. Tomack looked over at Gohan, and a smirk appeared. Tomack got out of the pool.
Gohan started trusting the water, he sat down as the water touched his collar. After nothing happened he dipped his head, Gohan closed his eyes as the water washed his dirt away. It had been ages since his last bath. Just then, Gohan sensed Tomack above him, but before he had enough time to get his head out of the water. Tomack jumped on him.
"Got him!"
The crew started laughing as they saw bubbles appearing. Tomack smiled, his plan worked.
Gohan couldn't get up from where he was. He was losing air and fast. Gohan tried to get off from under Tomack, but they made him so weak that he was powerless to get up. Gohan saw the light from under the water and tried to reach it with his hand. His hand was touching the air that he wanted in his lungs. Gohan eyes bugged out as he tried to get away, tired to reach the air. But he couldn't do it.
The bubbles were getting smaller and smaller, as Gohan's hand started dropping to his side.
"We don't want to kill him now."
Rexter said as she leaded her back against the side of the pool.
"Yeah, let him go."
"Come on guys, you know he's holding back. He can last more then a couple of minutes underwater."
"But you crushing his lungs?"
Vanlash asked as Tomack looked over at him.
"I'm not that big? The kid would be dead by now if Weller sat on him."
"What do you mean by that?"
The group started to laugh.
Gohan felt about all his air leaving him. He couldn't hold out any much longer at this rate. Gohan's eyes were about the close when he felt Tomack getting off him. Gohan sat up, gasping for air.
"Never let your guard down, you know better then that."
The group started laughing as Gohan was still breathing hard. Gohan looked over at Tomack, laughing the hardest out of them all. Gohan was mad now, as he made a fist at his side. Oh how he hated them laughing at his expense. Vanlash was the first one to stop laughing as he looked over at the kid.
Gohan punched Tomack, the first move he made on any of them ever since he was taken. Tomack fell into the water, the other two stopped laughing as they looked over at Gohan, quiet. Vanlash was also surprised as what he just pulled. Tomack got up from the water, he was red.
"How dare you."
Tomack punched Gohan, sending him flying to the other end of the pool, and into the water fall. Gohan got up, just as the water fell on from his head from the waterfall. Gohan rubbed the back of his head.
"I should go over there and kick the rest of your ass!"
Tomack screamed as Gohan started to get up. Gohan looked over at his left arm, to see a branch going into his arm. Gohan pulled out the branch, causing blood to hit the water. Gohan put his right hand over his bleeding arm, not taking his eyes off the crew. Breathing very hard as well. Gohan's face looked like he was ready to kill.
"Oh my heavens, are you alright?"
Gohan looked up to see the Princess jumping into the water, and looking at Gohan's arm.
"Your not going to stop bleeding at this rate, maid, rap up his arm."
"Right away."
Gohan didn't take his eyes off Tomack as he got out of the water. The maid put a towel around Gohan's shoulders as he started being taken away. Gohan looked over at the Princess after his back was turned to Tomack.
"Thank you."
He whispered as he held on to his wounded arm tightly.
"Your welcome."
She said as Gohan looked down at the floor, red in the checks about what just happen. The Princess looked into his eyes, he seemed hurt.
An hour or so later..
Gohan signed as he looked down at the ground. After what just happen, Vanlash gave him a little beating. Lucky for Vanlash, no blood appeared. The crew went back to the ship. Vanlash pulled Gohan into the King's office. Once there Gohan saw the Princess there, talking to her father. She looked up to see Vanlash and Gohan walking into the room.
"Hello."
Vanlash said as he bowed down to the King. The King looked over at Gohan, who slowly bowed as well.
"Hello Vanlash."
The King said as he got up from his chair.
"I heard that we had some trouble today?"
The King lifted an eyebrow as he looked down at Gohan. Gohan lowed his head to the floor
"You shouldn't be the one doing that my son," The King lifted up Gohan's chin, "It should be Vanlash."
"Excuse me?"
Vanlash said as the King let go of Gohan's chin. Gohan blinked a couple of times, not too sure of what just happen. Gohan looked over at the Princess, who smiled at Gohan.
"How important is this boy?"
The King asked as he was titling his fingers as he looked up at Vanlash.
"I didn't come all this way for you to ask these kinds of questions!"
"I know why you came here, and the answer is no."
"Then we're off."
Vanlash was about to leave, when the Princess ran in front of him, blocking the doorway.
"Give him to us!"
The Princess yelled as she looked up at Vanlash. The King walked up behind the Princess and laid his hands on the girl's shoulders. Vanlash looked at them as if they lost their minds. Gohan couldn't believe what he was just hearing. Why would they want him? Gohan looked over to his side, as a tear began to fall.
"Do you think I'm going to hand over something like him?"
Vanlash asked as he crossed his arms.
"How about we make a deal."
The King walked in front of the Princess and looked up at Vanlash.
"I want nothing, the boy stays with me."
Vanlash pulled Gohan's collar causing Gohan to fall over. He shook his head as he stood back up.
"Why does he wear the collar Vanlash?"
The Princess walked up to Gohan and pulled his neck down, looking at the collar.
"To prove that he is mine."
"I see is number on the collar, why didn't you just print his number on his neck like all other slaves?"
"Because the collar is in the way."
"But why is it in the way?"
The King asked, Vanlash turned around to the King.
"Because it controls his power level."
"Is he that powerful?"
The Princess said as she looked up at Gohan, Gohan looked down at her, but then turned away. The King walked over to Gohan and looked at his collar.
"I think we can find a way to get you out of this collar."
Gohan eyes shot up as he looked over at the King.
"Really?"
Gohan asked as the King nodded, and the Princess smiled. Gohan turned his head to Vanlash, he was smirking. Gohan eyes turned enraged, as he tired to power up, causing the collar to spark a little. The King and Princess backed away, Gohan turned his head around.
"Would you?"
He asked as he looked down at the down at the King and the Princess. The King shook his head and smiled. Vanlash eyes widen.
"Okay, you can keep him. As long as you don't take that collar off near me."
Vanlash backed away, Gohan looked up at Vanlash, and lifted his eyebrow. He never seen Vanlash like that before, afraid, afraid of him. Gohan wanted to laugh because of this, but hold it in. Vanlash knew what Gohan would do, if he were able to power up.
"Well only if the boy wants to, but if you do, you have to become Mikia caretaker."
"But daddy, I can take care of myself."
"Now you know you have to be at the age of 15 before."
"Yes I know dad, sister went threw the same, she told me about it."
"What do you say?"
Gohan shook his head yes as he looked over at Vanlash. Vanlash signed and took off a key that was around his neck.
"Once me and my crew leave this planet, use the key to take the collar off. Once it's off, the energy beams around his wrist will fade."
Vanlash gave the key to the King. The King looked at the key and shook his head.
"But if you take off his collar before we are off, I will kill you. And give me a new ship, and I will leave right now."
The King shook his head.
"So be it."
Vanlash glared at Gohan, and walked out of the room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, Gohan has been freed, as soon as he gets that collar off him. Now this is where the story begins..
