Surprise! She's a WHAT?!: Chapter Seven

A cool breeze blew among the trees and Katherine picked herself up from the ground. She looked down to see if her clothes were alright. Her shirt got a bit singed and so did her pants. "Oh, well. I knew I should have changed into my training gi." Kat muttered, snapping her finger. Her outfit was changed to her pink gi. Just as Katherine was going to say something, she heard Gohan's voice. He wanted her there now.

"Damn! NightFire better not be hurting him!" Kat said and flew off.

Gohan grinned as NightFire had to let go of his arm to shield her ears. NightFire winced as he screamed right near her ear and her ears were ringing. It was strange though for the saiyans stuck inside the shield. They couldn't get out, but they could hear what was going on outside the shield. Vegeta had to admit that was the smartest thing Gohan could have ever done in his life. Trunks and Goten snickered.

Once the ringing in her ears stopped, NightFire turned back to Gohan. He was still had his hair yellow and his eyes teal. "I must admit that was truly remarkable of you to do that. However, fun time is over." she said, throwing a punch. Gohan blocked it and threw a punch at her. The fight went on as this: Punch. Kick. Punch. Punch. Kick. Kick., etc. Katherine remained hidden behind a tree and saw Gohan and NightFire fighting each other. She noted that Gohan remained in his SSJ form.

"I hope he will be alright. Maybe I better hop on a branch to get a better view." Kat said and hopped on the tallest branch. Gohan was scoring hits on NightFire, but she was getting more hits on him then he was. A punch to the face sent him back and Gohan wiped his brow. NightFire suddenly phased out and re-appeared behind Gohan. She jabbed her elbow into his back and Gohan slammed into the ground. In doing so, he dropped out of SSJ.

Kat felt she had seen enough and would get the demoness real good. She started to float over the treetop and looked down. Kat could see her opponent's back and grinned. Cupping her hands together, Katherine started to power up her attack. Gohan spit dirt out of his mouth, brought himself to his full height, and saw the ever-grinning face of NightFire. "Well I think this is the end for you Son Gohan." she hissed, powering up a blast with her hand.

Gohan stared hard at the blast and gulped. He closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come, only to hear someone scream. Gohan opened his eyes to see who screamed. He gasped. NightFire was moaning in pain on the ground and Gohan saw the figure of Katherine standing behind them, smiling.

"You cut it can of close Katherine." Gohan said.

"I know." Kat replied.

NightFire's back hurt so bad, she wanted to kill whoever did this. She stood up painfully and found a grinning Gohan. Wondering why he was grinning, NightFire turned around to find the female smirking. "You did this didn't you?" NightFire hissed.

"Who else?" Kat responded. NightFire had enough of this female already and pulled her staff back out.

"You know what? My patience has had with you! I think you need a nice wake up call." NightFire said, the staff glowing a faint blue color. She twirled it once and gripped the weapon with both hands. NightFire then swung the staff directly at Katherine and let the tip touch the female's shoulder. Katherine let a blood-chilling scream as the blue light engulfed her. Gohan flinched as Katherine cried out in pain. After a few minutes, NightFire stopped and Kat collapsed on the ground.

Vegeta, Trunks, Goten watched the scene unfold itself. "Curse that baka demoness! She will pay once I get out of here!" Vegeta muttered.

"Will she be alright?" Goten asked quietly. Father and son turned to look at the second child of Kakarot.

"Don't she will be fine Goten. She has taken a beating before." Trunks replied.

Gohan didn't know how he felt now, but he was pissed. "Hey, that's cheating you know! Leave her alone!" he exclaimed. NightFire just shrugged and tucked her staff away. Reaching in her belt, she pulled out a needle with a liquid substance.

"You know…" NightFire said as she walked up to Gohan. "You are not a bad fighter. It's a pity I must kill you. I know for a fact this stuff will eventually kill you." she stated and grabbed his arm. Gohan eyes widened as she brought the needle closer to his arm. He attempted to break her grasp, but failed. NightFire brought the tip of the needle to Gohan's arm and pressed it in. Kat blinked her eyes to adjust her vision and saw NightFire ejecting something in Gohan.

Kat studied the liquid and then it finally dawned on her. *I know what that demoness is ejecting into Gohan. Dammit!* She forced herself to raise to her feet and drew her sword. Kat slowly made her way over to NightFire. Gohan felt something flow through his veins. NightFire had only a few drops left to inject, when she felt a searing pain in her back, her chest and collapsed. Gohan saw the tip of a sword jetting through her chest. As soon as Kat pulled the sword out from NightFire, the shield surrounding Vegeta, Trunks, Goten disappeared. They fell forward a bit before joining Gohan and Katherine.

Katherine tucked her sword away and went over to Gohan. She pulled the needle out from his arm and snapped her fingers. The needle and the contents were sealed in a ziplock bag. Tucking that away, she studied Gohan's condition. He looked alright, but she could tell something wasn't right.

"Katherine? I don't exactly feel so well…" Gohan muttered and he collapsed. Katherine caught him before he fell to the ground. Vegeta instructed Katherine to hand Gohan to him and follow. Katherine, the two chibis followed Vegeta as he took Gohan to the room with rejuvenation tank. He laid Gohan on the bed.

As luck would have it, Bulma and Chichi entered the living room of Capsule Corps. "Brats go tell Bulma to get up here now." Vegeta commanded. Trunks and Goten rushed out of the room. The two women were surprised to see the two chibis and noticed their long faces.

"What's wrong Trunks?" Bulma asked.

"Mom, something is wrong with Gohan." Trunks answered.

"WHAT?!" Chichi cried.

"It's true mom. Gohan is hurt." Goten said. Bulma immediately dashed upstairs and the others followed her. When Bulma entered the room, she saw Gohan.

Goku looked at King Kai, because the Kai appeared to be spaced out. "Um, King Kai? Is everything alright?" he asked.

King Kai snapped out his daze to face Goku. His face looked worried. "Goku, the same darkness I sensed when Vegeta & the girl were attacked, came after your son."

All of Goku's happy thoughts went down the drain and he wore a worried look on his face. "I have to go down there to see him!" Goku exclaimed.

"Goku! You know you said that you would stay up here, remember. You did not want to get wished back by the dragonballs." King Kai reminded him.

"I know that King Kai, but I have to go down there!" Goku said.

"I think I can help you with that one Son Goku." a new voice spoke. King Kai and Goku turned to find a young woman with long blonde hair and sea-green eyes float slowly to the ground. The mysterious woman walked over to them.

"How did you get here!? You do realize this place is for people who are dead!!!" King Kai exclaimed.

"Of course I know that! Now Son Goku I came here to help you. I have the power to revive you." the woman said.

Goku frowned a bit while he studied her. "You can't be serious! No one has that kind of power!" King Kai said.

"That would be great if you could." Goku said.

King Kai nearly had a heart attack.

"Are you dense Goku?! You are going to trust this uninvited guest just like that?!" King Kai yelled.

"Yes, I am trusting her King Kai. I can sense that her intentions and powers are pure." Goku replied.

"All you need to do Goku is to relax." the woman spoke, spreading her hands out. A white aura began to cover her and started the revival.

"Pd cos bhjsfe hr ysecqzd, Q txgg mbhz cos bhjsfe hr gqloc!" (Translation: By the powers of destiny, I call upon the powers of light!). Pure, white energy formed in her hands and the woman sent the aura at Goku. Goku felt the warm sensation of the light cover his body and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, the woman dropped her hands to her side. King Kai blinked and wondered if her powers really did work. Goku opened his eyes and looked up. He watched his halo disappear.

"I can't believe it! It actually worked!" Goku exclaimed, doing a happy dance. A cough caused King Kai and Goku to look back at her.

"Son Goku, you and the planet are in trouble. I have sensed a dark force, but I cannot identify it. This darkness is after the saiyans. That girl that the others found will play a role in this matter too. Her destiny is bound with the fighters of Earth. Please look after her. I also sense a force after her too." the woman said.

Goku dropped into his serious mode and took the information in. "Who exactly are you anyway?" Goku asked.

The woman smiled at him. "This isn't the time for me to reveal myself. I will be seeing you again Goku. Farewell!" she replied and vanished.

Goku turned to King Kai and grinned. "Goodbye King Kai." he said, looking for his son's ki and putting his two fingers to his forehead. In a flash Goku was gone.

"What happened to him Katherine?" Bulma asked.

Kat didn't know how to break the bad news to them. She started to pace the room a bit. "Gohan was injected with a poison so to speak."

"A what?!" Chichi half-yelled. Kat winced at her tone of voice.

"This substance or whatever you what to call it is very rare to begin with. The victim injected with this stuff, heightens their nightmares so much that it makes the victim want to kill themselves to escape the agony of their dreams." Kat answered.

The blood drained out of Chichi's face and she fainted. Bulma made a move to catch her, but someone else did. That person happened to have wild, spiky hair and wearing blue and orange gi. It took Vegeta a second to recognize who it was. "Kakarot?!"

"Hi guys! Why did Chichi…" Goku trailed off as he saw Gohan laying on the bed. He then noticed a young woman with black hair and sapphire eyes. Kat gaped at the person who caught Chichi and then a bulb went off in her head.

"You're Son Goku!" Kat gasped.

"Yep, that's me alright. Now would someone tell me what happened to my son?" Goku asked.

Goten kept studying the new person because he looked himself. Even though Bulma was excited on seeing Goku here, took Chichi from her and placed her on the other bed in the room. Vegeta had his usual scowl on his face. "I thought you were dead Kakarot? And that you did not want to be wished back by the dragonballs." Vegeta said.

Goku put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously. "I was. This mysterious woman appeared and revived me. She told me that a dark force is after the saiyans and that a girl would play a part in all of this." he replied. All eyes turned to Katherine.

"Y-you mean her?" Bulma asked, pointing to Katherine.

Goku blinked in confusion when it dawned on him that this must the girl the woman was talking about. "Yes." he responded.

"Now Katherine tell us how we can heal Gohan?" Bulma asked.

Katherine dreaded to say how they could heal Gohan. "There is only one way to cure Gohan. And it is not the rejuvenation tank." she said.

"What do you mean that Gohan can't be healed by the tank?" Trunks asked.

"Only a person who has healing powers can do so. The healer has to use their powers to slowly take the poison away. This process takes time." Kat replied.

"How do you know about this stuff anyway Tanaka?" Vegeta demanded.

"I watched a healer do this process before." Kat answered. She saw the look of confusion on Goku's face.

"I don't see any healers around here? What is a healer?" Goku asked. Everyone sweatdropped.

Goten couldn't understand why this man looked like an older version of himself.

"A healer is a person that has powers to heal people. Are you people forgetting something? I have healing powers in case you forget." Kat said.

The truth dawned on Bulma and the blue-haired genius gave a glance at Katherine. "Are you sure you can handle the task? Is there anything I can do to help?" Bulma asked.

"I'm up for it. You can do something for me. Show me a different room, so that I do my stuff." Kat answered. Vegeta knew that Katherine was not in perfect health to be doing anything right now.

"You are not even in perfect health to be doing anything Tanaka." Vegeta said.

Kat drew in a breath and turned to face Vegeta. "Look I don't time for you to be concerned about me, alright? I have a job to do and I could care less how I feel right now. " she said sharply. The room grew silent as Katherine leaned against the wall. It was doing the silence that Chichi woke up. Chichi opened her eyes and wondered why everyone was silent and then noticed Goku.

"Goku!? Is that really you!?" Chichi asked.

"It is Chichi." Goku replied. Chichi was never happier in her life and ran up to hug her husband.

"Mommy? Who are you hugging? Why does he look me?" Goten asked. Chichi released Goku to smile sweetly.

"Goten honey this is your father. Goku this is your son Goten." Chichi responded.

Goten looked at his father strangely for a moment before he walked over to Goku.

"I can do that Katherine. When I get back we can tell Goku what has been going on." Bulma said, leaving the room. Katherine picked up Gohan and followed Bulma. Bulma led Katherine to one of their guest rooms.

"You can use this one. Let us know if you need anything." Bulma said.

"Thanks. I will." Katherine said, entering the room. Before Bulma left, she thought she heard the distinctive click of the lock. Bulma re-entered the room and found Goten was hugging his father.

"Now will you tell me what's going on?" Goku stated.

"Certainly Kakarot." Vegeta said.

Gabriel stared at his computer screen for millionth time and pounded his fist on the table. "I can't believe this! My future wife runs off with Jasper Harding and doesn't tell anyone about their departure. I have no clues as to their destination. The only facts I know for certain is that Harding was a good friend of Katherine's." The prince of Gallindore stood up to walk to the window. He stared out at the sky and saw how it was very blue with no clouds. He currently was on his home planet.

"I have nothing to go on! How am I going to find her? There must be a good reason why Katherine just vanished with Harding unless… DAMN HER! She planned to get married to Harding all along and just pretended to get married with me! When I get my hands----, he stopped ranting when a knock came on his door.

"What is it?' Gabriel growled.

"My prince we have searched through Princess Tanaka's bedroom and found nothing that could be of any assistance to finding her. My assumption is that she took all of her possessions with her." the voice outside the door answered.

Gabriel mumbled a curse under his breath. "Thank you for notifying me. You may go." Gabriel said.

"As you wish my prince." the voice replied.

This sure put a wrench in his plans. She is smart, I take that for granted. "I am so pissed right now, I could laugh. Argh!" Gabriel said.

Watching intently from the shadows of Gabriel's chambers was somebody who was laughing their brains out. "What a damn fool! If only if he knew that she was on Earth as I speak. I had at one point wanted to harass her parents, but then I heard about him and their supposed union. I had recovered from my injuries and gone to the Palace on Dalmor. Instead, I see him and her parents talking. He might like what I am about to offer him." a voice spoke softly. (Guess who?)

Gabriel stopped looking out the window, when he felt someone was in his chambers. "Who dares to enter my chambers without my permission?" he asked.

"On the contrary, I have some information that you might be interested in." a voice responded.

Gohan opened his eyes and adjusted them. He found the figure of Katherine hovering over him. "Kat? W-hat happened?" he asked.

"You will be fine Gohan, but you have been injected by a substance that causes your nightmares to heighten and the victim will eventually kill themselves because of the intense nightmares." Kat answered. It took Gohan a moment for this to sink in before he gasped.

*This is not happening! Now she may find out about Cell. Or maybe not. Why do things happen to me like this?*

Kat studied him as his face looked worried about something. She wondered why Gohan looked so worried. "Gohan, trust me you will be alright. The only way for the substance to be removed from your body is by my healing powers. I will remove your shirt, if that is alright with you?" she spoke softly.

"Are you kidding me?! That is the only way to remove it?! Go ahead." Gohan answered. He watched as she gently removed his shirt and tossed it on the floor. Followed by a gasp. Kat couldn't help not to notice his muscles beneath the shirt and focused her sapphire eyes on his coal-black eyes instead.

"Now just relax Gohan. I do not know how long this will take, but probably many hours." Kat said, putting her hands on his chest.

Gohan felt her cool touch and then a warm sensation cover his entire body. He felt relaxed and closed his eyes.
