CHAPTER 3
-------------------------------
"PUT ME DOWN!" Chi-chi squealed as she was carried on Spectra's shoulder to what looked like a holding cell, "DAMMIT! You're really pissing me off now!"
Spectra ignored her as she shoved Chi-chi against the wall and held her shoulders in place, ordering Liw to shackle her arms. The small woman did as she was told.
"Don't you dare ignore me!!" Chi-chi growled, wrangling around like a nut, "You may think you're so great with your big bad ship and your shackles, but once I get free, you're gonna be sorry! You hear me??"
Once her arms and legs were shackled up, Spectra slapped the earthling woman hard across the face, finally shutting her up. "URUSAI!!!"
Chi-chi just sat there, her face filled with shock.
"Damn, you annoying little bitch! If you weren't so vital in getting that Gouk guy here, I would have killed you already!"
Chi-chi continued sitting there, still shocked. After a silent moment, she finally spoke, "Why... why do you want my Goku-saa? There are plenty of other strong warriors... why do you want him?"
Spectra smiled that cold smile of hers. "How many of those 'strong warriors' were able to defeat the evil tyrant Freeza? Or even the hideous monster Majin Buu? Son Goku was like a gift given to me... and I don't intend to put this opportunity for this battle to waste." The atalanta-jin turned her cape and began walking off.
"MATTE!" Chi-chi called, stopping Spectra in her tracks, "If you know he's this great strong warrior, then what makes you think YOU can beat him??"
Spectra turned back at her, smiling devishly, "If I'm lucky... I won't be able to." She then turned back and proceeded leaving the cell, "Liw, keep an eye on her."
Liw nodded and stood by Chi-chi, watching the woman's head sink towards her chest. She wasn't quite sure what she was doing at first, but a sniffle and a soft, "Goku-saa..." made her realize how upsetting this was.
Throughout the years, Liw never fully agreed with the Atalanta ways of choosing a husband, but continued to serve and be loyal to Spectra.... however, for once, she felt Lady Spectra had gone too far.
"CHI-CHIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!" Goku shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping for some sort of answer, but received nothing. He had circled the globe about three time already and barely picked up any energy from his wife or the alien wanting to be his wife.
"This isn't helping me one bit," Goku groaned to himself as he soared across the sky, "I haven't felt any ki disturbances in the past hour! That Spectra girl might've already traveled across the galaxy by now! But then how would she expect me to find her?" Goku lowerd his head in thought, "If worse comes to worse, I'll just have to go see Kaio-sama..."
*BANG!*
Goku's flight had been abruptly stopped once he hit his head on cold steel. After a long moment of shock, the saiya-jin immediatley grabbed his injured head, "IIIITAAAII!!! ITAITAITAITAITAITAI!!!!! What in the world was THAT??"
He glanced up to see what it was, only to find nothing there. Goku blinked, "Eh..? Nothing? But then how did I...?" He reached forward trying to feel for something, and his hand felt the cold steel. "Strange... there's something here, but I can't see nor feel its ki."
Keeping his hands on the steel, he floated upwards. He could still feel the object, despite it seemed as it nothing was even there. Once he was further up, he could feel more of a distinct shape, as if it were an invisible ship.
'.... Ship?' Goku floated upwards, assuming he was right above whatever he hit. Raising his palm in the air, he formed a light ki ball, which glowed brightly over the Earth below. Sure enough, a large shadow could been seen on the ground below the Z-warrior. "So there is something here!" he observed, "And I'm willing to bet this is where Spectra is hiding Chi-chi!"
He closed his palm, snuffing out the ki ball. "After all, it's not every day anybody just up and smashes into invisible ships. But without any ki to dectect, how can I get inside?"
Goku closed his eyes and thought heavily. Normally teleportation worked best when he could detect someone's ki, but what if he were to think of a place that he knew existed and was right there? Could he teleport without ki? It was worth a shot!
He put his index and middle fingers to his forehead and concentrated hard. 'Right below me,' he thought, 'Into whatever this is! C'mon, please let this work... Take me there.'
He took alot of thought and effort, but suddenly, Goku had dissappeared... He reopened his eyes to see he was now in a ship. "YATTA!" he cheered, "It worked!" He then grew serious, "Now to find Chi-chi!"
"Liw-san...?"
Liw jumped as the prisoner was actually speaking to her. "H... hai?"
Chi-chi gazed over at the small woman, "Can you... tell me what Spectra wants with me? Goku-saa and I have never even met her..."
Liw bowed her head, "She doesn't know you either... but she took you in order to bring Goku here."
"Why?"
"Because... well, it's all about of the Atalanta Games."
"Spectra said something about that... what ARE the 'Atalanta Games' anyway?"
Liw looked up at the housewife, "It's an Atalanta-jin tradition, how women find their husbands."
Chi-chi growled, "Goku-saa already told her he was married to me!!"
"She's been fighting for someone for over 18 years... perhaps the lady has gotten desperate."
"There are plenty of other fighters out there for her to choose from! Why Goku-saa??"
Liw bowed her head again, "Gomen nasai... but I'm afraid this is all my fault. I attained data about your husband and showed it to Spectra-sama. Had I known he wasn't available, I would have disreguarded it."
Chi-chi smiled, for the first time during this ordeal, "It's okay... You don't seem like a bad person."
Liw looked up surprised. Ever since working for Spectra, this was the first time she had received some sort of compliment. "A... arigato!"
Chi-chi blinked, not understanding, then changed the subject. "Liw-san... what happens if Spectra beats Goku-saa?"
"Then Spectra beheads him with her spear."
Chi-chi gasped at the thought. But then she smirked and chuckled. "Well, then there's no need to worry then because my Goku-saa's the strongest man in the universe! He can beat her with one hand even!"
Once again, Liw bowed her head in shame. Chi-chi blinked, "What is it?"
"That's exactly why she chose your husband... if Goku wins, then he must marry Spectra-sama."
Chi-chi gasped again, but she wasn't reassured this time. "No... Goku-saa..."
Liw turned away, "F... forgive me..."
Chi-chi didn't answer. She only buried her chin in her chest and quietly sobbed.
"I can feel her ki! She's definetely in here!" Goku exclaimed out loud, "SPECTRA!!! WHERE ARE YOU?? SHOW YOURSELF!!!"
In the Battle Arena, Spectra turned her head at the sound of his voice. "Nani..?! He found me? I didn't even turn off the cloaking device!" She then grinned, "Maybe there's more to this man than meets the eye."
She quickly finished up the final touches to the arena and jumped into her throne, patiently waiting for the loud-mouth saiya-jin to arrive.
"SPECTRAAAA!!!!"
Chi-chi snapped her up at the familiar voice. "Goku-saa??"
Liw blinked, suprised, "Amazing how he found us without the cloaking device!"
"GOKU-SAA!! I'M IN HERE!!!" Chi-chi cried, but her knight in shining armor didn't appear.
"I don't think he can hear you," said Liw, "We are on the upper level."
The doors of the arena slammed open as Goku burst through, stopping just in front of Spectra's throne. "Spectra!"
Spectra smirked, "Why Goku sweetheart," she sneered, "What a lovely suprise! What brings you into my ship?"
"You know why I'm here," Goku growled, "Give me back my wife!"
"I can hear him!" Chi-chi gleamed, "Goku-saa! I'm up here!"
"It's a small room where we are," Liw explained, "But the Battle Arena is too large for any loud echoing from above." Liw walked to the other side of the cell, bent over, and pulled open a small ventilizer grate. "Perhaps we can listen to what's going on though."
"Why would you want that whiney little runt when you can have a true female warrior?" Spectra cooed.
The look in Goku's eyes, however, told Spectra that he wasn't going to battle her voluntarily. She was going to have to twist a few truths "just a little". "Okay, tell you what," she spoke, "You and I will battle... However, if you win, I'll give your little wife back to you."
Goku's eyebrows lifted a bit, "You mean it?"
Spectra nodded, "HOWever... if I happen to beat you, I will become your new wife. Do we have a deal?"
"YES!!!" Chi-chi, "Do it, Goku-saa! Beat that little bitch into oblivion! Come back to me, my love!"
Liw bowed her head again, "Please... don't celebrate..."
Chi-chi blinked. "Eh? Why can't I? Goku-saa's gonna save me! .... Right?"
Liw shook her head, "I'm sorry... but Spectra-sama's lying."
"Lying??"
"Hai... She never bends the rules. She's done this several times in order to get a warrior to fight her. However, like many others, she ends up beating and then killing them anyway."
"Then..." Chi-chi shuddered, "That means..."
Goku reluctantly nodded, "Okay... I'll do it! And I'll win for sure!"
Spectra smiled evilly, "That's just what I want to hear," she murmured to herself.
"GOKU-SAA!!! NOOO!!!!" Chi-chi cried. But obviously it was too late....
Win or lose, she had lost Goku.
