Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Lost ❯ Confrontation ( Chapter 12 )

Chapter12…………

"Xenia….."

I closed the door as I walked into Lord Turlus' chambers.

"I've heard that you have taken Goku's mate as your prisoner."

"Yes, I thought it would give Goku more incentive."
"Good plan, but do you plan to kill her?"
"Eventually, but not before the fight with Goku. I want him at his best."
"Xenia, You shouldn't underestimate him. You enemy blah blah blah blah blah…."
I half listened as Turlus gave me the boring little lecture; I was more interested in the ki energy that I sensed near the base. What was more interesting was that it was Goku's energy.
"…….am I boring you?"
I snapped out of my little trance and noticed I had been absently staring out the window to my right.
"No, Lord Turlus…..but I'm sensing Goku's energy near the base."
Turlus tapped the side of his scouter, "You're right. That's him."
"May I go and greet our guest?"
Turlus smirked, "Sure, why not."

Goku transported himself to Pluto, determined to get Chichi back. He could sense her energy up ahead. He ran with all his might, afraid to fly and let his presence be know. He could see a huge spaceship up ahead that had taken root in Pluto's cold ground. He could see a figure up ahead and he grimaced as he realized who it was. He stopped once within six feet of her.
"Hello Goku."
"Xenia….."
"I'm quite surprised you were able to locate us."
Goku didn't answer.
"And you're here because…….."
"You know damn well why I'm here! Let Chichi go!"
"Ya, I would, but I can't………."
"Why not!"
I stepped a little closer to Goku, "We still need her for a little bit."
"What have you done to her?!" (A/N: Man, Goku's yelling a lot.)
"Oh, she's fine. I haven't done anything to her, yet. Actually we were just talking a few minutes ago."
"Let her go! If you don't I'll….."
"You'll do what Goku? Kill me? You've had a hard time doing that in the past."
"You're just as cruel and sadistical as Frieza….." (A/N: Ouch, that was cruel.)
"Frieza!" I spat out defiantly, "That non-gender, arrogant, self-centered, bald, little purple midget! You're comparing me to that?!"
Goku stayed silent, staring at me coldly.
"Fine, if you are going to be rude I guess I have no other choice. Chichi will have to be tortured, for you see, she will have to suffer for your insolent behavior."
"You touch her-"
"Goku, you've already threatened me once, but you still haven't tried anything yet. Are you a coward, or are you doing this because you want your mate to suffer."
I watched Goku's fist clench up in anger, as he tried to control himself.
"I'll give you one more chance, " seethed Goku, "Let her go."
"You'd think that by now you'd have enough sense to know how I am going to answer that question. I did give you an answer before didn't I?"
Goku weighed his options. Turlus was most probably on the base and could come out and help Xenia if he were to fight her, but if he didn't fight her, what other way was there to get inside.

I couldn't believe he wasn't attacking. //What does it take to get through to this guy?…..Hmmmmm I wonder……//
"Goku."
He looked up at me, shaken from his train of thought.
"I have a proposition for you."
"I'm listening….."
"If you can get past me, then I'll let Chichi go."
Goku smirked. //At least that eliminates my problems. But I wonder how strong she is?//
"I guess I'll start things off," said Goku
"Fine by me."
Goku lunged at me and just as he was two feet away I saw him collide with the forcefield and get shocked with the energy it held. (A/N: Think of an electric fence, but A LOT stronger.)
"Oh, and did I mention that there is a forcefield between us."
"How the hell am I suppose to fight you if there is a forcefield in my way."
"Your problem not mine."
"Now look who's the coward…."
"I am not a coward! I'm just not stupid enough to let you just walk through here."
"I can see a difference, you are smarter than Frieza….."
"Why thank you, but don't think complimenting me will get me to take down the forcefield."
"That wasn't my intention."
I watched as Goku collide again and again into the forcefield, never giving up even though his energy was beginning to drained. I laid down on the ground and leaned on my elbow. I signed. //This is so boring. Time to end this…..//
"Face it Goku. You're not getting anywhere, and well frankly, I'm getting quite bored of you, so I suggest you just return to Earth. When it comes time for me to fight with you, then and only then will I lower the forcefield."
Goku ignored me and continued with his futile attempts to get through the barrier. // I gave him a chance…….// I took out my scouter and opened a com-link to the ship.
"Yes, this is Son Xenia TJ. Would you take down the forcefield around the planet, but still keep the one on the base up?…….Ya…….thanks."
I looked back up to Goku to see he had stopped in his attempt and that he was staring at me quite strangely.
"What?!"
"Your name is Son Xenia TJ?" (A/N: In the episode where Gohan has a tutor, Mr. Shoe, he calls Chichi Mrs. TJ, so I assume that's their last name.)
"Yes, but I wouldn't waste my time if I were you with meaningless questions. I have ordered the crew to take down the forcefield around the planet, but to still keep the one between us up. In other words your going to suffocate if you don't leave."
"What? Suffocate?"
"Yes, we have two oxygen stabilizers one for in here and one for around the planet, with the forcefield down the stabilizer for where you are will automatically shut down. Without the stabilizers we would not be able to be here. As you should know Pluto has no oxygen on it."
Goku could tell the air was getting thin, and it became harder for him to breathe.
"The airs running a little thin over there, huh."
I watched as Goku tried to ask me something, but with the lack of oxygen he was unable to. He took one huge breath. To my surprise he didn't leave. //What the hell….I don't have all day to waste on this baka!// I pointed at Goku and fired. My beam managed to nick his shoulder causing him to let out his breath. He glared at me.
"Hey, I didn't say that I couldn't hurt you without stepping out of the forcefield, now did I?"
I watched Goku's face begin to turn red as the lack of oxygen started to become to much. With one more icy glare, Goku left. I drew my attention to Earth. //He's back on Earth……Finally!!!//
"Man, I thought he'd never leave!" I said aloud, "They're just no fun when they're not fighting."
I turned and walked back to the base, and opened up a com-link again.
"Yes, it's me again. I want you to put that forcefield back up and prep room 267 for me."

Goku reappeared in the living room at Capsule Corp. He bent over leaning on his knees as he gasped for air again and again.
"Dad!" He looked up to see Gohan coming over to him with Goten and the others close behind. Goku fell back on the couch behind him; feeling slightly dizzy. Gohan sat next to him, "Dad, what happened?"
He looked down at his feet in shame, "I tried to attack their base, but couldn't get in."
"You tried to attack their base?" Repeated Goten.
"Yes, but they had this forcefield around it and I couldn't get thro- ."
Crash! All of them turn to see Pan, smiling sheepishly at them. They looked down to see a shattered vase.
"Pan!"
"Sorry! It was an accident. It's just that this beeping noise is driving me crazy."
"What beeping noise?" Asked Videl.
Piccolo went over to Pan and picked something of her arm. He looked at it closely and set it on the table.
"What are you doing Namek? Destroy the thing!" Ordered Vegeta
Piccolo leaned over and pressed a small button on it, instantly Xenia appeared before them. Pan lunged forward, but to everyone's surprise except, Piccolo and Goku, she went straight through it. Xenia laughed, "I wouldn't try it, won't accomplish anything. This is a hologram image of myself that you are seeing. I planted the device, so that I may contact you when I am ready to fight…..And if you're lucky I'll let you see Chichi."
"Why'd you plant it on me?" Asked Pan.
"Well, you were the first one to attack me and since you weren't that strong I was easily able to place it on your arm."
"But you fired a ki blast at me, why would you do that if you had already planted that communication device on me?"
"Before I came here, Turlus gave me information on all of you, to study. I knew your father was fast enough to save you, I just pretended that I was surprised that he did."
"So, why did you contact us now?" Asked Gohan
"Well, just to make sure you didn't destroy the device and to see if Goku got back before he suffocated."
"Well, as you plainly can see, I am doing just fine," said Goku.
"Good, I don't want to fight a disabled warrior. Anyway, I must go. I have more pressing matters to attend to."
"Wait."
"What is it Goku?" I asked irritably.
"You told, whoever you were talking to before, that your name was Son Xenia TJ."
"Yeah, so…….."
"Well, that was my da-"
"Goku!" Interrupted Turlus, "Good to see you again. We only talked a few minutes before, hardly enough for old friends."
"Old friends! That's a good one," said Goku sarcastically.
"Xenia has to go and check up on her prisoner. Xenia….."
"Yes, my Lord, " I quickly exited the room.
"Oh, I just remembered! I need to go check up on something; I guess our little talk will have to wait……well, we'll be seeing you, so don't loose the communicator…."
The images disappeared, and everyone stayed silent.
"Her name is Son Xenia TJ?" Asked Gohan.
"She kinda looks like her…."
"But she's not her….." said Goku solemnly, "How could a cold-hearted monster be my daughter?"
