"Chi-Chi, do you hear me?" Bulma Pronounced with anguish while she took the fragile body of the woman in her arms, trying to lift her up. "You can sit?"

Chi-Chi didn't answer, but with Bulma's help, she tried to get up. As soon as her torso was raised at a specific angle, an intense shock of pain ran through her entire body from her right side, coming out of her as a loud scream into the air. Her hands gripped just at that point. Pressing it hurt her.

"Careful, I don't know if you have something broken," Bulma mentioned. "I think we should get you to a hospital."

That meant nothing to Chi-Chi. The pain that oppressed her, the weakness of her body, the dizziness, or the feeling that she would faint at any moment if she did not focus all her efforts on avoiding it... Everything was secondary. The only thought that really meant anything in her mind was her little one, her Gohan, and how that man had just taken him away; without any of them being able to do absolutely anything to avoid it.

"Goku, are you okay?" Master Roshi pronounced, and Chi-Chi reflexively raised her gaze to the front. The master and Krillin were trying at that moment to help Goku get up.

Suddenly, Chi-Chi pulled herself together enough to stand up, completely ignoring the intense pain that, in other circumstances, would have been totally paralyzing.

"Wait, Chi-Chi," Bulma exclaimed with concern. "Don't force yourself..."

She ignored her and immediately began to move towards where her husband lay, limping and with her hands pressing on her aching side.

"Goku!" She exclaimed forcefully, drawing the warrior's attention, who immediately turned to look at her. Master Roshi and Krillin had made him sit up but little else.

"Chi-Chi..." Goku pronounced weakly. His wife continued advancing toward him, but when she was close enough to him, her forces could not take it anymore, and she collapsed. Goku reacted immediately, trapping her in his arms and placing the woman's face against his chest. "Chi-Chi! Are you okay...?!"

"Of course, I'm not okay!" Chi-Chi yelled furiously, taking everyone by surprise, especially due to the strength of her voice despite her condition. "Goku..." she pronounced with a harsh voice, and then she raised her face to face him, her eyes brimming with anger, accompanied by intense tears that began to run down her face. "How could you let that man take Gohan away?!" She exclaimed forcefully, lightly hitting her husband's chest with one of her hands.

"But, Chi-Chi..." Goku pronounced, looking at her in amazement.

"You have to get him back!" Demanded the woman, slapping her chest more desperately. "You have to save our son! You said you would always be there to protect us; have you forgotten? You can't let that man hurt my baby! You can't allow it...!"

Her voice broke, and the only thing that could come out of her mouth immediately was intense and heartbreaking cries while she pressed her face against Goku's clothes, hiding her face and wetting the cloth with her tears.

"Chi-Chi, that's very unfair," Krillin exclaimed reproachfully. "Of course, Goku didn't allow that man to take your son. He tried to protect them and..."

"Shut up, Krillin," Bulma uttered at that moment, sounding clearly like a scold. "I know it's the pain that's talking, Chi-Chi," she added with a much sweeter tone. "None of us could understand the suffering of a mother like you..."

Yes, it was true; the pain made her pronounce those words. Chi-Chi knew that if she stopped at least for a moment to think about it, saying all that was unworthy and unfair to her husband. But she couldn't do it. She was so frustrated and angry that she couldn't help but take it out on her. It was sadly the only thing she could do...
