Reca went flying across the lab and slammed into the metal wall with a sickening crunch. He hit the floor almost as hard, before trying hurriedly to get to his feet, his face contorted with pain. Suddenly, a hand shot out and grabbed him around the neck, lifting him up and slamming his back against the wall again. Reca cracked open an eye slowly, before snapping them both open to stare back into the furious teal ones of Son Gohan.
"Who the hell are you, and where the hell am I!" Gohan hissed, tightening his grip on Reca just a touch as his Super Saiyajin aura flared angrily around him. Reca groaned under the pressure, and started to claw weakly at the young Saiyajin's hold.
"I'm ... Reca ... this is ... the main ... lab ... of ... the complex ... " Reca choked as he slowly started to turn blue from the lack of air. Gohan growled.
"Where?"
"P-P-Planet ... Awlgrene ... " Reca stammered. Gohan stared from the scientist to his surroundings, taking in what he could, and noticing that the place was full of all sorts of different instruments and doodads. The table that he had been lying on was in the middle of the room, and there was a giant supercomputer lining one wall. Another was made completely of glass, minus a set of double doors near the corner. On the other side of the glass, he could make out other tables holding his dad, Goten, Trunks, and Vegeta.
Feeling the sensation of something going limp in his hands, he turned back to Reca and found that he had fallen unconscious. With a low growl, he turned and tossed him haphazardly to the side, where he came to rest in a crumpled heap. As he started off towards the double doors that led to the next room, Gohan stopped and shook his head side to side, as his vision had suddenly gone blurry.
"What the hell is wrong with me ... ?" he trailed off, his golden aura fading as he returned to his normal state. His legs began to feel weak under him, and he reluctantly opted to take a seat back on the table instead of going after his family and friends for the moment.
"Whoa ... something's not right . "
"Well, la-dee-FREAKIN'-DA!" Myshel exclaimed happily, then slapped her hands over her mouth as her voice echoed loudly throughout the large containment area. Her eyes scanned the room hurriedly, checking for any sign that someone had overheard her, and when her eyes met no one, she lowered her hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, however, the sound of many footsteps began to echo throughout the room, and Myshel looked up again. She watched, frozen in her spot, as around fifteen or so soldiers hurried out of a door in the wall and surrounded her.
"I am SUCH an IDIOT ... " Myshel moaned, slapping her forehead with the palm of her hand. The soldier that stood directly in front of her took a tentative step forwards, and Myshel crossed her arms and glared at him coldly.
"Alright you, you're obviously outnumbered, and we have you surrounded. Just step away from the capsule, come towards me, and you won't get hurt," he said, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice. Myshel just smirked at him and snorted.
"You're trying to convince me that you aren't nervous, yet you haven't convinced yourself ... how amusing ... " Myshel said, laughing softly to herself as she looked around at the men surrounding her. "I needed a laugh. I'll tell you what, you let me take my ship and go, and I won't hurt you. Trust me, messing with me is not a smart move."
The soldier in charge took a step back, looking at her in bewilderment. "I'm not nervous! You have no choice other than to surrender now, or we'll open fire!" he exclaimed shakily, and all fifteen soldiers raised their guns, aiming them at Myshel, which only made the demi-Saiyajin laugh even louder.
"Liar Liar, pants on fire."
Myshel quickly charged a small ki blast and shot it at the soldier's legs. It collided with a small explosion, and left the soldier writhing on the floor, his legs badly burnt.
"See? Pants on fire." Myshel cackled.
"FIRE!" the soldier screamed, pointing his gun upwards and releasing a barrage of fire at almost point blank range. The other fourteen men also began to discharge their weapons, emptying their capacity as fast as they could at the young girl in front of them.
Around fifteen seconds later, as the last round was emptied Myshel's way, all fifteen soldiers looked up in utter shock.
Myshel, who had anticipated this move, had flared out her ki. She now stood, glowing in bright blue light, surrounded by hundreds of rounds, just floating about aimlessly. Myshel laughed once more, this time almost sinisterly, as the rounds began to revolve around her, picking up speed. The fourteen soldiers on their feet began to back away in terror, and the one on the floor was trying as hard as he could to push himself away from the young Saiyajin.
"I told you that messing with me wasn't a smart move, but you didn't listen, did you?" Myshel said softly. With a sharp cry, Myshel set her ki loose, sending the rounds shooting out at her enemies. Cries of pain filled the air, along with Myshel's battle cry, and soon, all fifteen soldiers had collapsed onto the ground, nursing all sorts of injuries. They looked at each other, and noticed that none of them had sustained any fatal hits. In one motion, they all stared up at Myshel.
Myshel straightened up and crossed her arms again, looking around pitifully. With one last smirk, she strolled over to the ship, hit the store button, scooped up the capsule, and strolled up to the leader once more. She crouched and sighed, staring the terrified thing in the face.
"Your leaders are holding some friends of mine. Where?" Myshel said firmly.
"I don't know what you're talking about ... " the soldier stammered, shaking his head. Myshel raised her hand, palm up, eye-level with the two of them. Slowly, she formed a ki ball in her hand, with sparks of energy exploding from it every few seconds. The soldier's look of pure terror intensified.
"I'll ask you again, where are they holding the Saiyajins? Or do I have to do something the human side of me doesn't want to do?"
"Hu … Human ... ?"
"Yes, human. You see, the human side is saying I should spare your life, but the Saiyajin side ... well, let's just say being part of the race that murdered millions means that I don't value your life very much."
The soldier gulped and immediately started fumbling through his uniform. He reached in this pocket and that pocket until he finally pulled out a device that looked a lot like the communication device Myshel and Rejhan had used. Myshel let the surging energy ball fade from sight and took the device from the soldier.
"That's a hologram ... it's a ... map of the complex," he started hurriedly. "This green button here turns it on. All I know is that Captain Kistios brought them in and had them sent to the main lab in corridor C ... "
Myshel clicked the device on and smirked once again as a 3D hologram of the entire complex flickered into view, each corridor clearly labeled. Clicking the device off and slipping both the hologram and the capsule for the ship into a pocket, Myshel got to her feet and shot one last glance around the room before turning on her heels and bolting out of the door, and back into the labyrinth of hallways.
"What was that do you reckon?" one of the soldiers said, staring at the buckled door of the lab in wonder. The group shrugged collectively, some interested in finding out, others clearly not.
Rejhan gathered her emotions and chanced a look around the corner. The group of soldiers had definitely taken interest in the obvious explosion from inside the lab. It was only a matter of time until at least one of them decided to go in and have a look. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Rejhan closed her eyes and concentrated on her twin's ki. The form appeared to her sitting down, and much duller than she had ever seen it before.
Rejhan opened her eyes and peered around the corner once more. Three of the soldiers had stood up, and were conversing quietly amongst themselves. Rejhan turned her head, straining her Saiyajin ears as hard as she could to make out the conversation.
"I don't care what you think, Tarmak, and I don't care what Reca said. Something is going on in that lab, and I want to find out what it is," one of the soldiers said firmly. He turned to the small group and looked around a moment, before pointing to three different soldiers.
"You three with me, we're going to put an end to this mystery right now."
Rejhan clambored quietly to her feet and stared at the wall in front of her. 'I can't just sit here and do nothing with Gohan in the state that he's in ...' she thought to herself. But then, she couldn't just take on all of them at the same time by herself, either. Seven or eight soldiers were one thing; twenty plus was completely different. 'There's got to be something that I can do ...'
"Oh you have got to be kidding me ..."
Rejhan snapped out of her deep contemplation and almost gave herself whip lash as she stuck her head around the corner once again. All twenty plus soldiers were standing facing one extremely annoyed and pissed off Myshel, who stood with one hand on her hip and the other out in front of her, holding a strange device that was emitting a funny green glow. With a frustrated sigh, Myshel pressed a button on the device, and after the glow had disappeared, she slipped it back into her pocket. Glaring around at her company, she dropped into a defensive stance with a bit of reluctance. Rejhan could see by the look on her face that she was a little worried about taking on so many by herself.
Abandoning her hiding spot behind the wall, Rejhan let out a battle cry and dove straight into the center of the soldier group. She caught a first with a quick fist to the chest before rounding on two more with swift trip kicks. Myshel, who was a trifle surprised about the sudden appearance of Rejhan, sprang into action by planting a right hook to one of the soldier's left temple. Both girls fought through the group towards the center, until they found themselves back to back, each covering the other.
"Hey Rej ... long time ... no see ... " Myshel grunted. She blocked a punch and a kick before latching on to a forearm. With another grunt, she hurled the soldier at the wall, where he collided with a loud clunk and fell to the floor. Rejhan snorted as one of her roundhouse kicks send a soldier hurtling backwards into one of his teammates.
"Yeah, where have you been, anyway?"
"Not important. I found the ship, and I've got it here. I also got this cool map thing. Is Gohan in there?"
"Yep, but he's not doing so hot, I think."
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
Gohan looked up as he heard the sound of air escaping and froze as three soldiers dove into the room. They hurried to their feet and dragged one more soldier inside before jamming the close button, and the door replaced itself in the closed position. Gohan stared from the four of them to the door. When it was open, he could hear quite a commotion gong on outside, and the soldiers themselves seemed to be out of breath.
"Where in the hell is Reca ... what the!" One of them said, looking around and finally spotting the body of the unconcious scientist in a heap on the floor. All four looked up and met Gohan's gaze, and the five did nothing but stare at each other for a few moments. Gohan pushed himself off of the table and onto his feet with great protest, and his head started to spin mildly as soon as his feet hit the floor. He did his best to keep his eyes focused on the group as they slowly made their way towards him, spreading out to surround him as they drew closer.
"There's no point in resisting it, Saiyajin. Reca has already drained so much of your energy and power, you won't be able to get past the four of us. Now, just sit back down on the table and we'll figure out what we're going to do," one said, smirking somewhat evilly. Gohan returned the look.
"Fat chance," he said, sinking into a stance. His body gave a sharp protest, but he told himself that he had no choice. He would just have to do the best that he could and hope that one of the others woke up soon enough to give him a hand.
Just as the four advancing soldiers decided to make their move, the metal door behind the group exploaded off of its hinges and slammed into the opposite wall, folding up in the process. A soldier burst through the opening backwards, persued closely by a female fighter who, Gohan noticed, looked a lot like Rejhan. Two others bolted after her, and seconds later, Myshel came after them. Gohan watched silently as Rejhan exchanged blows with one of the more skilled soldiers before knocking him back. Charging after him, she sent him into the ceiling with a well placed uppercut before turning on another. Myshel slammed one soldier into the wall, then ducked quickly as a soldier threw a punch from behind her at her head. She laughed lightly as the punch connected with the other soldier, before axe kicking one and shoving the heel of her hand into the other's temple.
Finally, the two girls finished off the last of the resistance, and gave a quick scan around the room. Nanoseconds later, Rejhan bolted as fast as she could over to a slightly surprised Gohan, practically throwing herself at him ten feet before she'd even reached him.
"Blast it! The last thing that I needed was for those two brats to get into the lab practically unchallenged, and now we have one of the male Saiyajins awake," Kistios growled as he watched the monitor in disdain. A loud beeping filled the room, and he rose to his feet, disconnecting about half a dozen machines that were attached to his body. He stretched a bit and flexed his arms and wrists, checking the status of his body. With a sigh of satisfaction, he strode over to a closet type room and pulled out a change of clothes, and turned to stare at the monitor once more. "The boy is weak, no doubt, making him vulnerable, of course ... but he is still a very big concern. However, those two brat girls are my main priority. They must be either captured or destroyed before they release any more of the Saiyajins."
Kistios finished dressing and restocked on weaponry. With a last glance at the monitor, he turned on his heels and headed out of the door. "Thank goodness that glass is indestructible ... "
Hey you all! Well, we're really winding down to it now, I assume you should see some major action very very soon! Rejhan and I have been e-mailing back and forth, and I think we have the final few chapters all planned out. From what we could come up with, you're in for an explosive end!
pell, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope it was a bright spot in your day to see Gohan back! Rejhan has the next chapter, so keep an eye out!
