A.N. Okay, I know you all probably hate me a lot for taking sooooo long just to get this chapter up! You see, I got a virus on my computer and it took forever to get rid of that . . . not to mention I broke one of my fingers playing basketball, but that's another story to tell when a bunch of people aren't ready to shoot me with arrows and bullets if I don't get a chapter up.

This chapter will probably seem really short, but it's better than nothing right? And I did give you one of my itsy bitsy ideas at the end for what happened in Cooler's Revenge so enjoy the corniness there.

Enjoy!

Leaning on the Enemy

Chap 16, Puncture

Gohan writhed about on the cold cave floor; eyes squeezed shut as he let out a pained yell. He felt like something had grabbed his brain, squeezing it like a boa would its prey. It hissed at him, ordering him, trying to stop his struggling.

"I won't do your dirty work! I won't!" he shrieked and he pulled himself to his feet shakily and with a furious yell, threw himself into the sharp cave wall in his rage. Jagged rocks fell all around him, dust clouding the floor.

'YES YOU WILL! NOW! KILL THEM!' an eerie voice shouted at him, forcing him to pull his self from his personally shaped crater.

"NO!" Gohan shouted and threw his fist into a spike that hung from the ceiling and it crumbled to the ground in a pile of dust.

'You don't have a choice!' Frieza shouted back. Gohan crumbled to the ground and fisted his hands around his ears.

"Yes. I. DO!" he shouted furiously as a crater began to form about him from the energy he was putting off to keep control, lightning starting to crackle.

He heard voices yelling his name and he quickly swiveled to his feet and with a burst of energy that sent rocks flying his hair became handsomely blonde and if possible, stuck up even more. Standing erect, fists clenched at his sides, Gohan stared into the darkness, his body quivering with rage that was both his own and someone else's.

'Yess . . . they anger you, they hate you . . . they laugh behind your back . . . always laughing. Get them back. Hit them, crush them, feel their blood on your hands. They hate you . . . they'd kill you . . . and they'd . . . laugh!' Frieza's snaky voice whispered

He knew who the people were. Gohan knew that two of them actually cared for him and the third was just coming along just in case he had a chance at a good fight. Either that or he wanted to see what the heck "Kakarot's brat" had gotten into.

"Gohan? GOHAN!" someone yelled. Footsteps pounded through the cave, echoing eerily. They abruptly stopped as they spotted the young Super Saiyan. Bardock's face looked astounded, he hadn't known his grandson had escaped Frieza and was a Super Saiyan. Goku looked slightly proud of his son, but when he saw the expression on his face, he stiffened. Vegeta looked even more angry then usual at seeing the son of his rival so powerful before he was.

When Bardock took a step forward, Gohan stepped backwards cautiously, body rigid, emerald green eyes glaring at him. "Get away from me" he hissed, teeth clenched. Bardock took another step forward and Gohan bent into the beginning of an attack.

"Gohan, it's me . . . Grandpa?" Bardock stated, though it sounded more like a question then a statement. Gohan began shake uncontrollably, breathing quickly and heavily.

Squeezing his eyes shut, his body trembled as he bit his lip. "It's Frieza" he quickly said. Bardock narrowed his eyes. "Mind control" Gohan whispered, his muscled chest rising slowly as he paced himself, clearly struggling with something. Bardock nodded, calculating the possibilities in his head.

"Which shot did he give you? Gohan, which shot?" Bardock asked patiently as he watched his grandson back away from him.

"F," Gohan began, his lips stuttering as he felt Frieza trying to pull him back into his grasp. "F1-F-F178."

Bardock's eyes widened at the numbers, knowing that was the strongest that could be made for the situation. He mentally cursed himself for creating such a concoction. He looked towards Vegeta and Goku.

"Keep him down and don't let him hurt himself anymore then he already has" Bardock judged, noticing the blood and bruises scattered over the young man's body. Gohan let out a loud frustrated yell as Bardock left the cave, preparing to throw himself down again when Goku grabbed his arms and latched them behind him.

Gohan cried out, lashing out at them with his legs. "Go a-WAY! Leave me the hell alone!" In his blind rage, he threw his head back into Goku's forehead and kicked him in the knee.

"Vegeta! Help me with him!" Goku shouted. Vegeta snorted before promptly slamming his knee into Gohan's gut, blood flying into the air out of Gohan's mouth.

Bardock threw his bag open, seizing vials of chemicals and mixing them together, muttering formulas under his breath. He couldn't let Frieza take control of Gohan, he couldn't!

Taking a large vial, he poured all of the other slim vials' contents into it. Resting a cap over it tightly, he shook it, counting to one hundred softly. Satisfied with the change in color of green to a dark purple, he poured the liquid into a syringe.

He rushed into the cave where Gohan was on his knees, holding his stomach as he coughed, blood coating his lips.

"Hold him still!" Bardock shouted.

Wiping an alcohol soaked-pad over Gohan's arm, he sunk the serrated needle into his bicep. He drained the purple liquid into his arm and all was silent . . .

Gohan's eyes turned a blood red before he cried out, fangs lengthening. He struggled vainly, snapping at them and roaring in pain. His teeth clamped down on Bardock's arm, before he abruptly passed out.

Bardock sighed, and fell over, sweat covering his brow.

Redo of the scene in "Cooler's Revenge" -

"Icarus! Hey!"

The young Gohan fell from the sky, legs in a split and bag of beans in his hand as he waved at the dragon. He fell on the dragon's back and suddenly keeled over clutching himself instead of crying out happily like he was supposed to.

"CUT" the director called and Icarus landed on the ground and Gohan rolled off, dropping the beans as he clutched his pelvis.

"Oh gosh that hurt" Gohan muttered. The director sighed. Falling in a split onto a dragon's back was not a good idea after all, he thought as he watched the poor boy clutch his privates in pain, eyes wide.

"Nope, not a good idea. Alright REDO!"

Iswear, Cooler at level 4 sounded like Darth Vader! LOL! Can't you see him with a ki ball in front of Goku and suddenly saying: "I am your father"? I can definitely see Goku shouting "no" like Luke did in the movie, but I don't know about the cutting his hand off thing . . . maybe it'd be better with Piccolo so he could get his hand back and freak the poop out of Cooler.

To all of those who have stuck with me in this time . . . well thanks! I've been gone for a long time and if one person reviews for this, you don't know how grateful I will be.

Out of curiosity, is it still okay to write like some kind of thank you note or explanation to a reader like : Silver Eyes Bright: Thank you for reviewing. ?
