Disclaimer- Um… I have 15 posters, does that count for anything?
************************************************************************
On a sliver throne high above all, in the place known as Cosmos, sat a red-haired beauty. Purple eyes, an aristocratic nose, and full, pouty lips completed her face. Perfect curls fell to her slim waste. To look upon her was great and yet terrible when you saw the sadness hidden within the depths of her eyes, she was the goddess known as Fate.
Fate watched the scene playing out before her. A frown momentarily creasing her perfect features, “I’m so sorry my little ones.”
“Fate my dear, what are you talking about?”
The sadness in Fate’s eyes turned to fear at the sound of her “rulers” voice. “Chronos it is none of your concern. My secrets shall always be kept.” This earned the red-haired goddess a slap across the face.
“You will do well to remember your place. I am ruler of all now; there can be no secrets. I will figure you out.” With that the dark god Chronos left.
Fate’s angelic face showed no signs of the pain she felt; pain, not from the slap, but from the reminder that Chronos had control. “He is so evil, I hope my chosen ones can save me.” Fate closed her eyes and focused on two sleeping forms, “If all things go well, Chronos will be banished back to the recess of hell, and I will be back in control. Bulma, Goku, the universe and my own fate rest on your shoulders. It will be hard, but you must be strong and survive. Habiter mes enfants et renouveler votre amour.” A single tear fell from her violet eyes, and then turned to many as Fate wept for her chosen saviors.
************************************************************************
Bulma bolted upright. “What a dream. That poor beautiful woman. I wonder if it really means anything.” At that moment the blue-haired genius re-evaluated her settings, “Where in the name of Kami am I?” Then the memories came flooding back to her, and she sank back into the confines of the simple cot on which she lay.
At that exact moment Goku too woke from a dream. “Wow, I wonder what it all meant.” As he stood to go use the restroom, Goku asked himself two things, “Okay, why am I chained to this pole and where is the restroom?!?”
Gero chose that moment to retrieve his captives. “16, 17, 18 come here, to the main room!” When the three androids arrived Gero gave out orders, “16 you will get Goku, 17 the dark-haired girl, and 18 the other boy. I will retrieve Miss Briefs.” The four set out to gather their assigned “package”.
Radditz was pacing back and forth, well as far as his chain would allow him to travel. He jumped at the sound of the door opening. A slim figure stood in the doorway, blocking the only escape from the dank room. “Radditz, I am android 18, known as Juuhachi-gou. I need you to come with me. Please make it as pain-less as possible.”
“Well uh… 18 was it? I don’t think I have much of a choice in the matter. I’d love to go really, but I’m chained to the pole.”
The android pulled the chain away as though it were a strand of a spider’s web. “There now you can come with me.” Radditz just shrugged his shoulders and left with the beautiful, blond artificial human.
17 was having more problems than his sister with handling his captive. The raven-haired girl was screaming and kicking, “ Put me down you jerk! I am capable of walking on my own! Just you wait, I am going to make you so sorry you messed with me. Think you have a pretty face bishounen? I am going to change that! Just you wait…” She stopped kicking and swinging as she contemplated all the ways to make him suffer.
Son Goku was laying back on his bed trying to piece everything together. “Why am I here, what did Gero mean by you and your friends are who I came here to find? What does that dream mean?” The door to his dungeon flew open.
“You are Goku. I am Juuroku-gou, 16. Come with me.”
“What makes you think I will do anything for you without a fight!”
“Do not cause problems Son Goku.” The large man walked towards Goku and ripped his chain out of the wall. With his legs free Goku kicked the large man in the chest and tried to escape. He looked down as he felt a hand grip his ankle.
“I would advise against trying to escape. It is not in your best interest.” The man known as 16 roughly pulled the young saiya-jin to the cold ground. Goku let a growl escape his lips as he tried to crawl away from the giant. “I don’t think that will work.” Juuroku laughed.
“I’ll die before I go willingly. What have you done with the others?!”
“They are fine as you will see when you come with me.” With that said Juuroku-gou guided the young man to his feet and they walked towards the main room.
Bulma was still trying to put the images from her dream together. “Who was that woman, Fate? What does she want with me and Goku?”
“Wondering aloud can often be turned against you. You should keep certain things to yourself, Miss Briefs.”
“Gero, what do you want with us?”
“I simply want you to come with me and all will be explained.”
Bulma snorted, “Yeah, I go with you and A) get raped, beaten, or killed or B) I go with you and you kill everyone else. I am staying right here till I know if Goku, Chi-Chi, and Radditz are safe.”
“You will go with me.” The frail looking man picked Bulma up with surprising ease. “Believe me it will be a lot easier if you would not kick and scream so.”
“Put me down you hentai minded freak! When my father sees how you are treating me he will see to it that you are beaten, and when he is done I will only stop to spit on your body.”
“Tsk, tsk Bulma. If you really knew anything about me you would realize I leave no loose ends.”
His meaning was not lost on Bulma and she visibly paled, “You mean, my parents are dead? But, how? What kind of monster are you?”
Gero laughed, “You naïve girl. Yes, the people you call your parents are dead, as will be the rest of Earth’s population in a few moments.” If possible the blue-haired beauty’s face paled even more.
“Wh…what do you m…mean?” she stuttered out.
A malicious laugh filled the empty hallway, “You will see my dear, you will see.”
