Surviving the Inevitable

The hospital, as if bursting with flames from every corner and side imaginable was in total chaos. Doctors, nurses surgeons, every possible working inhabitant was going insane with madness. Paramedics rushing with no intension of stopping were bringing freshly wounded patients from any working vehicles into any available rooms. Though the patients who were brought in was usually dead before they were even operated on.

Those that did live screamed of agony echoing throughout every room followed closely by the foul smell of infestation of dried up blood and rotting flesh. Machines and appliances were put into overdrive from constant use from the workers trying desperately to save as many lives as their hands could get on.

Among them was a certain black haired teenager who put his life on the line on several occasions. His heart seemed to fail at the last minute when everything seemed fine and frankly the doctors were going berserk sticking various kinds of needles testing his blood for an answer. But unfortunately their efforts all came up empty-handed.

Videl was shaking and trembling unlike her normal, confident, and prideful self. She had been gently pried off of the patient whose heart beat stopped just minutes ago.

"No...no…don't die on me!" Videl sobbed blatantly holding his hand in hopes of getting through to him." "If only I got him here faster! I would've saved him! It's like Davis dying all over again!"

This was simply just too much to take in. The man who saved her from getting rapped was now seemly dying right before her very eyes. The workers had been ejecting blood to the point where she thought that the doctors were just draining it to calm and reassure themselves that everything was all right. But in fact, it seemed far from perfect.

Some of the nurses attempted to remove the girl so that they could proceed with the reviving, but Videl relented pushing them all out of the way.

"Please Miss, you need to leave, this is a critical situation."

"No! I will not leave him! No I will not!" She successfully escaped their grasp but was inevitably pulled out of the room and plopped onto the outside bench.

In the nurses went and as quickly, out they came. But each time the nurses left they carried a bag full of blood. Videl had gotten use to the amount of blood at this point but it still caused her to flinch at the site. So many questions swirled within the depths of her mind that she wanted to ask the stranger but it just gave her a headache.

Giving it a rest and sighing more than usual, she continuously stared at the white wall in front of her. It kept her at ease but didn't stop her repetitive rocking. "Davis…"

A nurse in her mid-forties had seen the distressed girl when passing by and felt sorry for her. Returning back from an errand she sat down and placed a blanket over her with a smile.

"Don't worry, everything will be all right," her soft voice hummed before placing a comforting hand on Videl's back.

While this did little to comfort her, Videl did feel a bit better. She kindly thanked the nurse with a smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. Nonetheless she stopped trembling.

"I hope he gets better..." she continuously recited in her mind trying to calm her nerves. Clearly the amount of blood and marred condition of the body had traumatized her. Gazing once again at the white wall that she memorized, she didn't notice the nurse getting up and leaving, but was too preoccupied to care.

"What in the world...why can't my body move?" asked Gohan as he tried getting up from his chest only to end up back down on the ground and with even more difficulty then his last attempt. Grunting in frustration, he looked around at his surrounding trying to rid his mind of the immobility.

Darkness surrounded him with only a dim light bulb hanging from the ceiling of what seemed to be a large hotel.

"Well isn't this a surprise," remarked 17 standing in front of Gohan's face with a smirk always present. Without warning Gohan's head was snapped to the right with a powerful kick from his foe. Grimacing as he felt blood trickle down the side of his mouth.

"You will pay for all you've don.." Gohan exclaimed glaring up, but was quickly kicked on his side cracking a few ribs before he shouted in pain.

"Didn't anyone teach you it's not polite to look away from the person talking to you" scowled a now present 18 with amusement dancing around on her static face.

"I think Blonde here needs to be taught a lesson wouldn't you say, Sis?" asked with a hint of amusement also welling up in his eyes.

Without waiting for 18's response 17 vanished only to reappear with a girl with a blurry face screaming and thrashing about.

"I think this is the perfect object for torture" licking his lips evilly. "I found her snooping around so it's only fair" he replied evilly.

Then suddenly Gohan was threw up and slammed into the wall held harshly by ki restraints. Try as he might he only could do so much as he felt his energy being sapped away.

"Shall we begin the violation of this girl as your punishment?" 17 stated more than asked, advancing closer and closer. 18 lazily held onto the girl. Gohan struggled with all the might he could muster, but he couldn't release himself. Going super was not an option since it only consumed energy that he didn't have.

"Please anyone! Help me!" the girl begged with desperation with visible tears following as 17 was mere centimeters away.

Something just snapped as he heard those words pleasing words. Breaking every boundary ever known, he felt his amulet shine with raw power. His eyes flared turquoise and he felt immense power. Incinerating the ki restraints, he blasted 17 with a massive beam effectively throwing him off his feet with astonishment.

"Leave her alone!" Gohan shouted with his blazing eyes engulfed with blue light shifting towards 18. But it didn't seem to faze her in the slightest. Instead she released the girl and sent blast after blast in his direction only to bounce off harmlessly. Flashing out of view he soared towards her smashing his fist into her face causing her to flip backwards. But before he let her go he pulled back her shirt and fired a blast into her mouth effectively making her disappear.

But as good as he felt with this new power it was starting to slip away. And that's when 17, came hurling forward successfully knocking Gohan to the ground again.

"You got lucky but I won't let you live this time!" 17 proclaimed with anger raising his fist into the air posed in position ready to kill. But, suddenly he snapped his head towards the girl who was running away. Letting a smirk triumphantly reach his lips, he rose up and went to fetch her back.

"On second thought, I'll just torture her" before blasting towards the running girl. Returning back, he gagged the girl before setting her down with ropes tied around her.

"No don't!" Gohan all but shouted trying to get up but failing miserably as his power faded out and he ended up rolling over to a stop.

"Don't even try to move" 18 retorted seemingly returning from the dead with her foot set firmly on Gohan's chest. "It's gonna take more than a ki blast to kill me."

"Oh this is certainly better than killing her" he laughed with evil radiating in his eyes ignoring his sister's reappearance. Licking the girl's neck to see what response it would give. Only to hear the girl scream but was muffled. Gohan too impaired to do anything watched helplessly as the girl was tortured.

"Why not just kill her?" 18 questioned crossing her arms over her chest with curiosity with a bruised face. "I swear you just love extending the most stupid things."

"This is too much fun" 17 stated with a smirk before standing up and grabbing the girl up by the hair. "You're right tho, Sis."

"She's becoming a bore to me and fun never lasts so why prolong?" Lifting his hand and generating a blast, he waited until it was the size of a beach ball.

"Wait until I get my hands on you" Gohan cursed only for the foot on his chest to increase.

"And with the face you have on I think it's the best solution, don't you?" smiling 17 lowered his hand slowly with his smirk getting bigger.

"Say good-bye now" 17 laughed manically before incinerating the girl.

"Noooooooooooooooo" he yelled with pain but was too late as everything blacked out. Struggling inside the dark void he was in, it was difficult to tell right from left because everything was disguised in a blanket of darkness. Finally able to move, Gohan sat up looking stressed out for what seemed like an eternity.

"Dammit, I let someone down again!" he furiously shouted punching the ground only to go through. Confused he stood up only to bang his head. Cursing under his breath he reached up to see what he hit but to find that nothing was there but a shroud of shadows with emptiness in every direction.

"What is this place?" he asked unconsciously out loud feeling around with his hands only for it to hit nothing but air. The crystal around his neck then sparkled to life lighting up the area with its vast mystic turquoise color.

Looking around he found himself standing in the middle of ruins much worse than the world he previously lived in. Taking a few steps forward and occasionally throwing a glance over his shoulder, he began his voyage through the mess of the once glorious city or so it seemed.

Roots and plant life intertwined itself with the aging buildings but it seems more hazardous than peaceful. Interestingly enough the damage seemed fresh and roughly new. Stopping himself he began to think he was lost after walking for what seemed like hours.

But strangely the buildings seemed static, each one very much similar to the next. If juxtaposed, one would say they were the same. Then that's when his insanity was beginning to slip away. From a corner of the sky, a maniacal laugh greatly resembling 17's was starting to voice itself following shortly by 18's.

"Your pathetic as always, Blonde", 17 creepily stated making Gohan's hair stand up in fright but miserably failed to find the source.

"You can't even fend for yourself, you trash excuse of a Saiyan", replied what seemed like 18's.

"Why, you couldn't even help that girl even if you had your full power", 17 and 18 continued in unison.

"You're nothing a nobody", they continuously ranting.

"You don't know anything!" Gohan spat back venomously but was starting to crumble under the negative comments knowing full well they were true if anything else.

"You can keep lying to yourself, but we know the truth, you're nothing! You don't even exist", 17 voiced calmly. "Nobody cares about you, that's why they all left. They were just tired of looking after you", 18 replied afterward.

"Admit it, all the people who you tried to help died and you know the funny part. It's ALL your fault. If anything else you shouldn't be blaming us, but yourself", announced the androids.

"No stop!" screamed Gohan in defiance. "You're the ones who did this to me, it's your fault"

"Stop kidding yourself, you're the one who gave us the sole purpose to be born. It's your fault for existing." 18 remarked "And to top it all off, you are the main reason for so many deaths and torture. Because you were born that's why they suffered the way they did."

"It's all your fault" the two androids replied in harmony repetitively "It's all you fault."

"No! You're wrong! It's...not!" Gohan yelled clutching his ears shut. But to no end did the ranting stop. It even began playing it his head as well.

"No! No! No! No! No!" Gohan tried convincing himself continuously with tears raining down from his face. "It's all your fault! All your fault! All your fault!" The androids chanted.

"Stop! Make it stop!", he yelled desperately trying to get the voice out of his head. Then suddenly as if answering to his call a voice perks up.

"It's okay, Gohan", said a voice so angelic and calm that made him stop yelling and crying altogether. The ranting stopped for a minute replaced just by the calm and soothing voice of the stranger.

"Just follow the light that sparkles with no end and it will lead you to salvation", said the heavenly voice before fading away.

"Wait! Don't go! What do mean!" he cried out but too late, the voice was gone, swallowed up by the darkness. Sighing sadly, he stood up with his head bowed. That was until he laid his charcoal eyes upon his amulet shimmering brightly.

"You think you could just escape?" asked 18 from the depths of the darkness.

"You're trapped here for eternity!" 17 finished with a laugh.

With his head rising and following the bright line directed by his necklace, he noticed a tiny white glimmer far away.

"We'll see about that." Gohan spat before walking towards the light.

At first, he was hesitant. But as he neared it, the light began to proliferate bigger and wider. Nearly at top speed, he ran like never before gaining hope the whole way feeling the warmth and freedom surround him.

The voices of 17 and 18 discouraging him to go on in the background, faded as he sprinted towards the light. Now flowing with sweat from his body and muscles pleading with him to stop and rest went unheeded as he raced towards what he deemed as hope and a way out of this hell hole.

With the light so near and filled with adrenaline, he pounced full force with both his arms extended out.
