Chapter 3: Captured

"General. I haven't been called that in a long time. Bulma is not going to like this, but yes. Tell the king he may count on me should Akros attack."

"Thank you, General."

"Please just call me Goku. If Bulma hears that she's going to get suspicious and I'll never hear the end of it. And she won't be happy with you either."

Fellard shuddered. Rule one when dealing with the Son family: Never ever piss off Bulma. Never ends well- ever.

"I swear that woman is as feisty as a dragon."

"In more ways than one." Chuckled Goku.

"You're one lucky man, Goku."

Goku gazed ahead at his family. "By God, I am." He nudged the horse in the side ready to catch up with the three ahead. The horse picked up its speed, but came to a screeching halt. Looking around Goku saw the other horses rearing up in panic. He searched the area quickly for any signs of wolves or bigger creatures that might make the horses act so.

He didn't see a thing, but he did see Fellard's eyes fixated above. God, the man was about to wet himself!

Goku tilted upward and saw what was causing the commotion. It was circling them as if they were prey. Easy prey.

"Dragon!"

::::::::::::::::::::::

I see them, those puling creatures. Perhaps I will spare them the agony of their lives. Yes, I will relieve them.

Shall I show them mercy? Shall I….

Dragon!

I am NOT the last!

Dragon!

Dragon!

Dragon!

What is she doing with those humans? She is far above them.

She… is one of them.

No! That cannot be! Her aura is dragon! Her very stance is dragon. But her body is not. Her body is human!

No!

But… no, my senses have never failed me! She is dragon and I am not the last! Now her body is human, but when I'm done it will be dragon.

I am not the last!!!

"Shit!" cried Goku. They weren't ready. They were only a few hours ride from town. The dragon was spotted near Ithio! He looked over at his family; they were riding toward him into the open clearing!

"Bulma! You and Trunks get to safety! Now!" he shouted at her. She seemed confused at first, but when Goku pulled out his spears and sword realization dawned on her along with anger.

"There is no way I'm leaving you to try and fight that damn thing by yourself with no poison! Goku, come on. We need to find cover." She tugged at his arm, but he wouldn't budge.

"That thing isn't going to let us find cover. Take Trunks and Gohan, mix the potion, and bring spears tipped with it! And by God don't let Gohan come help me. Stay safe my love." With that Goku kissed Bulma's cheek and set her horse off in a gallop to their children.

He watched as the three, joined by Fellard set off for cover at a walloping pace. His eyes turned skyward and he raised his sword threateningly.

"Come get me you big worm! I'm right here! Come get me!"

The dragon ignored him and flew toward the escaping party.

"I'm right here! Are you too stupid to see me?" Goku continued to yell at the giant creature, but it had no intention of wasting its time with the dragon-slayer. It had other plans.

Goku watched in shock as it swooped dangerously close to his family. "SHIT!" He kicked the horse, hoping he could get there in time. What a fool he was to leave them alone. Of course the stupid beast would go after the easier hunt as indefensible as they were.

"Bulma! Trunks! Gohan!" he warned them trying to get his voice to carry over the roaring of the dragon. He cries were heard and Gohan threw a spear at the giant beast. Gohan made a shooing motion at his mother when she tried to stop him.

The spear bounced off the creature's unnatural plating. This was no ordinary dragon.

"Bulma! Take Trunks and go on! Find cover!" she nodded and took off yet again with her youngest son. She had to depend on Gohan's skills no matter how much her maternal instincts were killing her.

"Fellard! Take a spear and help!" Goku could swear that Fellard was really wetting himself now. The three faced the dragon as it flew toward them. Ready for the attack Goku raised his spear, but the beast flew for Bulma and Trunks. What did he want?!

"What does that thing want!?" Fellard's words echoed Goku's thoughts, "Easy meat?" Though Fellard shouted this to no one in particular Goku felt the answer in his gut. If that thing wanted easy meat it could go for any of them, but the beast wanted something. The damn animal had a motive!

He and Gohan had started back in the race after the beast, but even they knew they were going to be too late.

They watched helplessly as the wind from the dragon wings knocked Bulma and Trunks from their mounts. On the ground the two tried to scuffle backwards, away from the powerful beating wings.

The dragon descended. Bulma screamed in terror as a deft claw closed around her and picked both her and a good piece of ground up. Goku could hear roots being torn from the ground. That thing wanted her alive!

The four left on the ground gaping in shock as the dragon swept her away and soared out of sight.

Goku stumbled down from the mount to comfort his crying son, Trunks, who was looking pitifully at the sky mourning the loss of his mother.

Gohan still gaped at the sky looking as if he had swallowed his own tongue. The truth probably had not completely settled with him.

Liquid was staining Fellard's breeches and Goku numbly acknowledged what happened.

That bastard dragon took his wife. His son's mother. His love.

And by God he would pay.
