The Mysterious Book (A Dragon Ball Z Fanfic)

Part 9

We were stuck like a rat in a cage! He was flying right above, seemingly angry.

"What are we gonna do Gohan?! No one is here but us!" I squeaked as low as I could.

"I don't know... But we have to do something quick before he finds us." Gohan replied.

Just then, a power blast came from above and we barely dodged it.

"There you are! Where are my dragon balls??!! Tell me quick or you will die right here, right now!" Freiza shouted.

The veins were clearly showing in his eyes.

"We don't know! Just leave us alone!" Gohan shouted back.

There was a grin on his face.

"So, if you won't tell me, then I will force it out of you!"

Freiza flew in our direction with the speed of light. Both of us were still tracking him when he popped right behind us. We were frozen in our place. Not one of us could move. All we could do was turn around with fear. Just as Freiza was about to hit me, Gohan was quick enough to block it.

"Go! Run away while you still can!"

"What?! I seriously cannot do that!"

"Just go-" before Gohan could finish, Freiza punched him so hard on the cheek that he fell and hit a big rock,cracking it.

"Gohan!" I screamed.

"Now then, you are next... *chuckle*"

Meanwhile...

"Ugh! What is taking them so long?!" Yamato sighed after putting Yukiya in the healing room.

"I don't know. Maybe something's wrong..." Krillen replied.

"Don't worry Yamato. Gohan knows how to protect her very well." Picollo reassured, cross-armed.

"I know that, but this is Freiza we are talking about! I mean, you guys don't even stand a chance against him. This is merely his first form - or to be more specific, he has 3 more transformations..." Yamato muttered, looking mindlessly at the floor.

"W-What do you mean? Are you saying that this monster is in his first form while we are nothing in front of him?! Man... how tough is this guy?!" Krillen stated with a shaky voice.

"Yeah... That is what I mean! Gohan and Honoka might be in trouble... They need our help! Also, I  hate to be the source of bad news, but it won't end good for you Krillen... Also for Vegeta... Only when Goku will arrive, the real battle will start and it won't be pretty! Only if Honoka, Yukiya and me could have powers like you guys..." Yamato explained further.

Krillen and Picollo looked at each other.

"How do you know all that kid?" Picollo finally asked, after keeping the silence to himself and listening the entire time.

"Well, like I said. I have watched every saga of yours there is! I know a lot more than you think."

"B-But... What will happen to us Yamato?! I mean, will we even win against him? Will Goku win?"

"Yeah he will... but he barely made it out alive... Oh, but don't worry! He WILL be alive!"

Picollo and Krillen took his whole story into account and thought for a moment.

"Well, we might have a better chance even without Goku only if we too had powers so we could help you guys..." Yamato sighed.

Back at the dreadful scene...

Freiza had the scariest smile on his face as he came marching in my direction.

(Oh no! What am I supposed to do?! I will get killed right here, right now!)

"So... What is it gonna be? Death or the Dragon Balls?"

(What should I say? If I try to run away, I know how it is going to turn out to be...)

While I was lost in my own thoughts, I heard a cry from behind me. When I turned around, I saw Freiza holding Gohan by the hair, nearly torturing him.

"N-No! Leave Gohan alone! D-Don't hurt him!"

I could see the pain on Gohan's face and even when he tried to fight back, Freiza dodged every attack and in return, hit him back.

(No... I am so useless! I can't... I can't take it anymore!)

"Stop... STOP IT!!!"

Just then, my whole body felt like it was on fire and my vision was orange and had a reddish blend in it.

(Wha-What's happening here?!)
