8. Sacrifice

It had been nearly seven months since 17 had moved in with his sister and her family and tensions were running high. 17 was sloppy and disorganized and often upset Krillin with his comments and bad attitude. Krillin was at his breaking point and 18 had asked her brother to look for a new place to live.

"You're choosing that midget over me?"

"17 he's my husband, the father of my child," 18 said. "I am used to living with you but he is not."

"I'm doing pretty well as a park ranger I'll find a place to live, I'll be out by the end of the week."

"You can visit anytime 17 I just think it would be better for all of us if we lived apart."

"I get it 18, I get it," 17 said sighing. "I'm a difficult guy, but I do care about you and I love the little squirt and Krillin...well I couldn't have chosen a better husband for you."

18 smiled. "I know 17, I really do."

"I'll go look for a place," 17 said swatting 18 away as she hugged him.

"I'm gonna take Marron to Chichi's for Goten's birthday party, and then I have to sit down with Krillin. He left this morning so upset, I don't even know where he went."

"I'll take Marron you go find Krillin," 17 offered.

"Are you sure?"

"This was all my fault, I'll take Marron you go find your husband."

"Thanks 17."

18 waved at him and left the house as Marron came bounding down the stairs ready to go. 17 picked her up and walked outside. "Let's go."

"You're taking me to Goten's house Uncle 17?"

"Yes tyke," he responded taking to air as Marron gripped tightly to his neck. He took Goten's gift and put it in his pocket. "I'll keep that safe for you."

It was on his way to Goku's place that he ran into Krillin who was flying in the opposite direction.

"Krillin!" 17 said stopping midflight.

"Daddy!" Marron said cheerfully trying to jump into his dad's arms.

Krillin caught her and hugged her tight.

"18 is looking for you," 17 said.

"I was heading back home but I'll go find her."

"I'm taking Marron to Goten's birthday party."

Krillin eyed him suspiciously. "Really?"

"Hey!" They both turned around when they saw a fearsome group of biker men floating in front of them.

Krillin knew exactly who they were, since he had arrested them several times. Krillin had to use his powers on them so the men committed terrible crimes in search of a power source that could put them on Krillin's level. Looks like they found it.

"What do you guys want?" Krillin said in annoyance.

"We found the power Officer Chestnut and now we will kill you," the leader of the group said as the other men laughed and cracked their knuckles. They powered up and Krillin tensed up.

"17 take Marron home," Krillin said.

It happened quickly in a perfectly planned move. All seven men powered up a giant ki blast that would've obliterated Krillin instantly and shot it right at him and Marron.

17 moved quickly jumped in between Krillin and the blast. The blast crashed into him hard and Krillin cried out, "17! No!"

Krillin caught his unconscious, bleeding body before it could fall out of the sky and placed him on a nearby island with Marron. "Marron I want you to stay here with Uncle 17 and if any of those men try to come here I want you to run and to hide okay?"

Marron whimpered in fear. "Okay daddy."

Krillin powered up and flew up to the men who were laughing. "Did you see how we destroyed that twerp?"

"Now you're gonna see how this twerp destroys you," Krillin growled as his white aura surrounded him.

"What is it Officer Chestnut? Did we hurt your boyfriend?"

Krillin rolled his eyes at the childishness. "He's my brother-in-law you morons."

"And my brother."

The icy voice was clear as day and that's the voice that usually terrified Krillin. He could see that it had the same effect on the men who looked at 18 in surprise.

She looked as fierce as that day on the highway and Krillin knew if he didn't intervene she would kill them all.

"No killing!" He said.

"Killing?" The gang leader said laughing. "Hah! That little thing?"

Krillin smirked and said, "now!"

They both zoomed towards the men so fast they didn't even see them coming. One punch from each of them sent the men flying they landed on nearby islands unconscious.

The other men panicked and started attacking but they weren't even close to getting a hit in.

Combined they were as strong as Super Saiyan Vegeta fighting 18 on the highway. Even Krillin himself was stronger than that but he knew these men had no scruples. They would hurt his daughter.

18 swatted two more men down like flies as Krillin kicked one in the stomach and slammed him down with interlocked hands. Another man jumped on top of Krillin's back but 18 tugged him off and threw him into a mountain where he created a crater and fell to the ground unconscious.

They heard the zooming of a ki blast and saw the leader shooting a blast right at Marron who was on the island behind them. He was the last one standing and he used all his power to create it. 18 and Krillin zoomed towards her as fast as they could but they knew they could never reach her on time. "Marron run!" Krillin screamed.

The ki blast was almost on top of Marron when 17 appeared out of nowhere and slapped it away. The leader pissed himself, Krillin was sure of it. 17 was bloody and very very pissed off. He zoomed forward and punched the leader in the stomach making his eyes nearly pop out. He punched him in the jaw sending teeth flying and finished off by doing a roundhouse kick that knocked him out before he even hit the ground.

17 dust off his shoulders and flew back down to the island where he picked Marron up and flew to 18 who took the child and hugged her tight.

"Oh Kami 17 thank you!" 18 said nearly in tears.

"I thought those guys killed you with that blast," Krillin said.

17 scoffed. "I'm not that easy to kill."

"You could've sacrificed yourself for us, 17," Krillin said. "Thank you."

"You're family," 17 said taking Marron back. "Now you go home and talk, I'll get Marron to that birthday party."

"17, that's not.."

"You got a lot to talk about, now go on," 17 said.

"Goku should have some sensu beans," Krillin said.

17 nodded and flew off towards Goku's house. Krillin sighed and grabbed 18's hand as they headed home to talk.
