Chapter Fourteen- An Enemy Lands
Author's Note- Only two chapters after this one... This one is a long one, the next will be shorter and the last will be pretty long. I will try to get it up ASAP. Check out some of my other stories while your waiting for the last two chapters!
Two months after the wedding, Piccolo is watching Nerissa in her training exercises.
"Don't tire yourself," Piccolo warns but not sounding to menacing.
Nerissa stops and turns to Piccolo, "Did you say something, love?"
"You need a break." Piccolo hands her a canteen.
Nerissa feels a strange sensation, "Did you feel that?"
Piccolo feels the same thing but he knows it is an evil power, "It's just your imagination."
"Are you sure? Oh well, must just be the baby." Nerissa pats her stomach as she drinks down the water.
"Come with me, Nerissa." Piccolo takes her hand and pulls her along just as Goku appears.
"We have trouble." Goku says.
Piccolo give Goku a stern look.
"Don't you feel," Goku continues as Piccolo keeps giving him the cut sign, "that?"
Nerissa whips around as Piccolo quickly stops and plays it off by rubbing the back of his neck. She glares at him suspiciously.
"I feel it, too." Nerissa says as she turns back to Goku.
"Then come on Gohan is waiting." Goku smiles as Piccolo gives him another stern glare.
"Goku!" Piccolo scolds, "Nerissa is not fighting!"
"But we need all the help we can get." Goku tilts his head like a dog would if he heard a strange noise.
"I can fight!" Nerissa shouts.
Piccolo pulls Nerissa aside and looks sternly in her eyes, "No you can't. I don't want you to get hurt."
"But you need my help!"
"You're not fighting and that is final!" Piccolo shouts at her.
"But I just want to help," Nerissa's mood quickly changes, "You're so mean!"
Piccolo grabs her shoulders so she cannot use instant transmission, "Goku, I am not letting her fight."
Goku is bewildered by Piccolo's actions, "We don't really know for sure if we have to fight but we need all the strength we have… just in case."
"Come on! I won't get hurt!" Nerissa pleads.
"You will not fight!" Piccolo's voice booms.
"You need me!"
"And that is exactly why you are not fighting!" Piccolo growls.
"Fine!" Nerissa pouts.
"Don't be like that, 'Rissa. You know you can't fight in your condition."
"Oh! Geez! I didn't know she was pregnant! In that case, Piccolo is right!" Goku laughs nervously.
"Nerissa, go to the cave and stay there. Promise me you will stay there while we handle it."
Nerissa nods, "I promise."
She returns to their cave.
Goku smirks, "Ready?"
"Do we know what it is?"
"No, but it is powerful and evil." Goku rests his hand on Piccolo and instant transmissions them to the predicted touchdown point.
Gohan is already waiting, "Hey, where's Nerissa?"
"Nerissa is home… where she belongs." Piccolo answers.
A ship lands, it is ugly and slimy. A similarly slimy green blob exit's the ship. It shapes itself into a being like Frieza.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Goku growls sensing the evil energy oozing out.
With a replicated voice it answers, "The child."
"What child?" Gohan assumes the being is speaking of Trunks since Trunks killed Frieza.
"Give me the child." The creature makes no advance.
"You're not getting any child!" Gohan powers up along with Goku and Piccolo.
"You are irrelevant." The creature flies off quickly to evade the blasts fired by the warriors. His ship is not as lucky; it is destroyed.
"Where is he?" Piccolo looks around befuddled.
"That way. I'll try to slow him down. You fly after him." Goku uses instant transmission.
Piccolo and Gohan fly after, "I thought he was after Trunks but this is the opposite way of Trunks."
Piccolo thinks, 'Where could he be heading?'
"Stop!" Goku blasts the blob with no response.
It continually repeats, "I must kill the child. Do not try to stop me."
"What child?" Goku asks.
"The child yet to be born. The child I must kill." The blob speeds up and Goku struggles to keep up.
"Could he be…" Goku wonders aloud, "Why must you kill this child?"
"It must die so my master may live."
"Who is your master?"
"Lord Cooler." The blob reaches its' destination; a cave.
Goku senses Nerissa's presence within the cave, "Nerissa, get out of here!"
Piccolo speeds up using all his power, "GOD, IT'S AFTER NERISSA!"
"Why would he be after her?" Gohan tries to keep up with his seriously ticked off mentor.
"She's pregnant. He wants to kill my child!"
"Nerissa!" Goku yells into the cave, blocking the entrance from the blob.
"Move, Saiyain." The blob takes form again in front of Goku.
"Nerissa!" Goku finally glances back to see Nerissa, unconscious in the cave.
Piccolo and Gohan land. Piccolo rushes in the cave but the blob hits him on the back. He manages to still get inside the cave.
"Nerissa?" He kneels beside her.
Nerissa wakes as Piccolo shakes her, "Piccolo?"
"Nerissa, you have to get out of here. Go to Vegeta." Piccolo helps her to her feet.
"I am too weak." Nerissa braces herself on Piccolo.
"It is after you. We have to go." Piccolo lowers his power in an undetectable level.
Nerissa lowers her power as well, "Where are we going?"
"Deeper into the cave." Piccolo scoops Nerissa into his arms, feeling the excruciating pain in his back.
Piccolo carries Nerissa throughout the cave's passages. It is dark, dank and moldy. They quickly reach a dead end. Piccolo sets her down and keeps her calm and quiet. The cave starts to rumble. The blob is now blasting the cave from the outside. Piccolo covers Nerissa protecting her from the falling debris. Goku appears and instant transmissions them to Capsule Corp.
"Why did you bring us here?" Nerissa asks.
"Vegeta might know something. Go inside with Piccolo." Goku jerks his head to the door and eyes the Saiyain Prince.
Piccolo lifts Nerissa back in his arms and enters the Capsule Corporation. Bulma leads them in and has Piccolo set Nerissa down on the couch.
Goku walks over to Vegeta, "What is it, Vegeta?"
"A Golrta… captured by Frieza. They are used a scouts to seek and destroy."
"Why does it want Nerissa?" Goku questions, anger evident.
"I wouldn't know." Vegeta confronts Goku.
"WHY does it want her child dead?"
"Child?" Vegeta questions.
"Lord Cooler, does that ring any bells?"
Vegeta's eyes widen, "Frieza's brother… I thought he was dead. But Nerissa has a child?"
The blob, a Golrta, lands, "Insignificant beings."
"Kakarott, don't let it touch you." Vegeta adjusts his attention, "Why would you want the child of a mermaid?"
"It must be destroyed."
"It must be pretty powerful to make Cooler worry enough to send the likes of you!"
"Stand aside, Prince." The Golrta forms in front of Vegeta.
"You think you can threaten me? I am the Prince of all the Saiyains!" Vegeta uses his Final Flash to disintegrate the Golrta.
Goku scratches his head, "That was interesting."
"Interesting doesn't begin to describe it… Nerissa has a child?"
"She's pregnant. We should check on her." Goku goes inside.
Nerissa has fallen asleep on the couch, as Piccolo paces impatiently.
He looks up at Goku, "Is everything okay?"
"Yes. Vegeta killed it."
"Cooler will send more men." Vegeta comments.
"What does he want with me?" Nerissa sits up and looks at Vegeta.
Piccolo sits beside her on the couch, "He doesn't want you. He wants our child."
"Why?"
"I don't know." Piccolo strokes her hair.
"It will be best if you two stay here." Goku offers.
"I think you are right." Piccolo pats Nerissa's head.
"You're hurt." Nerissa notices the scars on Piccolo, "Let me heal you."
"No," Piccolo stands and backs away from her, "You need your energy."
Bulma takes Piccolo to get bandaged. Goku leaves to check on Gohan who is being healed by Dende at the Lookout. That left Nerissa alone with Vegeta.
"So you are with child." Vegeta starts his conversation.
"Yes." Nerissa says nervously.
"Cooler is bad news, you better watch out."
"Why are you being nice?"
"Do you not want me to be?" Vegeta smirks.
"That's not it." Nerissa tries to stand but stumbles. Vegeta is there to catch her and he sits her down.
"That child is powerful. That is the only possible reason for Cooler wanting it dead." Vegeta sits down beside her.
"Dead?"
"Don't worry. Kakarott and Piccolo will protect you."
"And you?"
"I will too. I never pass up a good fight."
"Of course not," Nerissa smiles at Vegeta's futile attempt to cover up an act of good.
"Nerissa… you remind me of a girl, I used to know. She was killed many years ago…" Vegeta whispers.
Nerissa smiles sweetly, "Do you really think this child could be so powerful that a being like Cooler would want it dead?"
"Your power combined with the Namek's… I can believe Cooler would feel threatened."
Piccolo walks in and glares at Vegeta, "Is he bothering you?"
"No. Not really." Nerissa says but Vegeta quickly leaves Piccolo and Nerissa alone.
"Piccolo, are you okay?" Nerissa asks.
"Just a couple of scratches. We have to stay here for awhile." Piccolo says as he sits.
"I know." She mumbles.
"Nerissa, I will protect you with my life. Cooler will not hurt you."
"I know."
"Bulma has set up a room for you." Piccolo leads Nerissa to her room.
"I can't sleep here, all alone! What if Cooler came?" Nerissa smiles seductively.
"I will stay with you," Piccolo enters the room closing the door behind.
Nerissa throws herself at Piccolo. Piccolo squints in pain when she touches his bandaged scars.
She backs away, "Those aren't a couple of scratches! You are really hurt!"
"Yes," Piccolo takes off his shirt to reveal the white bandages completely surrounding his torso.
"Please allow me to heal you." Nerissa unwraps the bandages to reveal a black scar that seems to spread (AN: think Princess Mononoke), "What is that?"
"That creature touched me." Piccolo pushes her away, "Just don't touch it!"
Nerissa heals Piccolo. Her energy is now depleted. She collapses on Piccolo. Piccolo sets Nerissa in the bed.
"Piccolo…"
"What is it, dear?"
"Promise me, you'll let the others fight."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
"Okay, just rest. I promise."
Bulma watches the survelliance of Nerissa's room, just in case, Cooler attacks, "How does she do it? Piccolo would never!"
**** That is the end of Chapter Fourteen. Please R&R! Cooler is after Nerissa... Will Piccolo keep his promise? All in the next chapter! Only two chapters left!****
