I Didn't Have a Clue--chapter 11

Written by: Jesscheaux

Disclaimer: I did not invent, nor do I own, DB/Z/GT or any of the characters, only Zenya whom I created.

Author's notes: *shrieks* AAAAGH! What now? Zenya is long gone to us, she doesn't remember anything at all,
or does she........

In the distance, a battle began. A battle like none other which would decide the fates of Piccolo and the androids
#17 and 22. Krillin jolted in flight as he felt Piccolo's ki spike upwards.

"Juu...did you feel that?" he asked his wife quietly.

"Hmm." she nodded and clutched her daughter tighter in her arms. "Piccolo is fighting Zenya...I hope he can last until
we get there."

"I can't believe that your brother destroyed Kame House! What a jerk!"

"Krillin, no matter what, he's still my brother and I know that somewhere within all that steel and wires, there
beats a real human heart. I'm going to get him back somehow..." #18 trailed off and determination lit her eyes.

The couple and their daughter flew on towards the secluded location.

Back in the mountainous region, Goku and Gohan were having a sparring match with little Goten on the side, watching
intently. He had this sparkle in his eye that only happened when he was sparring or watching sparring. Chi-chi looked
out the kitchen window as she was doing the dishes and sighed. All her boys were fighters.

"But not my Gohan! He's going to go to college and become a great scholar!" the housewife said to herself and
sighed thinking of all the knowledge Gohan was going to obtain from college.

Goku blocked another kick from Gohan and then zanzokened behind him and elbowed his son in the back. Gohan somehow
found this funny and gave his dad one of the famous Son grins and put his hand behind his head. Goku pointed and
laughed at Gohan and then both of them burst out laughing and floated to the ground. Goten ran up to his dad and
jumped in his arms with a yell of 'Daddy!'

The boys kept on laughing and just having fun. Goten started a game of tag and the Sons were after each other, Gohan
going super slow after Goten just to play along.

Their fun didn't last long however. In midchase, Goku stopped abruptly and frowned. He lifted his eyes to the sky and
turned in a complete circle. Gohan felt it too. "What is it Dad?" the teenager asked anxiously.

"Yeah Daddy! What's wrong?" little Goten chirped.

"It's Piccolo..." Goku trailed off.

"Sensei?!"

"Mmm." Goku nodded in agreement, "He's in a battle, but I can't sense the ki of whoever he's fighting." Goku concentrated
as he tried to find Piccolo's exact location. "Wait...I feel it, it's small but it's still there. The person who he's
fighting...its Zenya!"

"Huh? You mean the girl he likes?" Gohan asked incredulously.

"Piccolo likes her?! WOW I DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!!! That sly dog..Hehehe."

"Daaaad, he's totally denying it. But anyway! Why do you think he's fighting her?"

"I don't know, but this doesn't look like your ordinary sparring match. His ki is way too high. I think he's in trouble
Gohan."

"Then we have to help him! Lets go!"

Goten grinned and repeated Gohan, "Yeah, lets go!"

Goku gave Goten a half-smile and patted him on the head, "Not this time little guy. You have to stay here and take care
of Mommy, ok?"

Goten bit his lip and then nodded slowly, "Uh huh, ok Daddy I will."

"That's my boy!" Goku told him with a final hug then nodded towards Gohan.

Gohan placed his hand on the elder Saiyan's shoulder and then Goku put two fingers to his forehead. Seconds later, they
disappeared, off to find Piccolo...

Piccolo dodged another of Zenya's blows aimed at his head as his he thought frantically what he could do. He didn't
want to fight her. He couldn't hurt her! He....loved her...too much for that. He ducked his head again as she swung
a punch.

"Come on, creature! What's the matter?" #22 said cockily as she kicked him in the chest. "Holding back are we? Well,
I must confess that I am too." the former Zenya blew off her nails and grinned evilly. Her eyes reddened as she glared
at her Namekian opponent completely unaware of who he was. Her brainwashing seemed complete, but was it really?

"No, I won't fight you." Piccolo said quietly and looked towards the ground. Soon another blow was headed his way and
he barely moved his head out of the way in time.

"This is no fun, #17. May I finish him quickly?" #22 questioned her brother.

"Of course, by all means." sneered the evil android, anxious to get him out of the way so that they could begin his
plans of conquest.

Her eyes began to glow even redder and her evil grin spread across her face in a most menacing way..."You're mine, freak!"
She screamed and then threw herself at Piccolo knocking him over. #22 pinned him to the ground and began punching him in
the chest repeatedly.

With each blow, Piccolo's spirit drained and he had no will to fight her back. Another punch aimed at his stomach
made him lose his breath and he coughed up a stream of blood. Piccolo narrowed his eyes, a memory from his father had hit
him just then and he remebered that he was no pushover! No metal-woman was going to make a mockery out of him and since
when was he all soft over a human?!

Piccolo stood up and wiped the blood that had dribbled down his chin off. "Allright...now we fight..." he glared at her
fiercely and powered up suddenly, the blast of air pushing the former Zenya back a few feet.

"That's more like it!" she said and turned to grin at her brother.

Piccolo's foot slammed into her face just then and she fell over onto the floor. "Remember, never take your eyes off your
opponent..." He grabbed her ankle thereafter and threw her across the room, hoping to slow her down so that the plan he
was formulating would have enough time to work.

The female android crashed through the wall, leaving a large hole. Piccolo flew in and grabbed her by the collar of
her shirt. He swiftly punched her in the stomach, and it was #22's chance to get the air knocked out of her.

She coughed and choked out, "So, you do have some fighting spirit in you, eh Piccolo?"

The Namek's eyes widened to the size of saucers. "What did you just call me?"

"Piccolo, you baka! That's your name isn't it?" she answered.

#17 stopped yawning at that moment and looked over in interest, (My God, she remembers his name....I wonder if that's all
she remembers...this shouldn't have happened!!!! Well, I won't say anything to jog her memory.)

"Yes..it is..Zenya." Piccolo finally answered.

"Zenya? Who is that, namek!"

(She knows I'm a namek! Maybe...I got her out of that machine in time...she must still be in there somewhere!)
"Yes, Zenya is your name, remember?"

The evil android threw back her head and laughed. "You are quite mistaken, freak. I am an android. A powerful being,
much more powerful than you'll ever hope to be. Perfection at it's best, don't you know." she said proudly and winked
at #17 from whom she had inherited that attitude.

"Have it your way then, ZENYA!!!" the Z-senshi yelled and zanzokened behind her, then put her in a choke hold.

"Lemme go! This wasn't supposed to happen! #17!!!!!!"

Piccolo powered up a quick masenko and blasted a hole through the ceiling of level 3. He then flew outside with Zenya
in tow.

#17 was about to fly out after them when he heard a rustle of metal coming from behind him. "Great...more visitors."
He rushed up to the entrance only to come face to face with #18.

His eyes narrowed immediately. "I thought I told you to leave me alone, sis. I have Zenya now and that's all I need."

"Which is exactly why I'm here brother! Where is MY sister?!" Juuhachi demanded loudly.

"Piccolo has her, but I'm sure she'll be back soon once she finishes the weakling off." he answered and yawned again.

"You mean????? I'm too late..." she sank down onto her knees, a look of defeat crossing her porcelin features.
"My only sister...."

Krillin entered just then toting Marron who jumped out of his arms at the sight of her mother. "MOMMY! Are you ok?!"
The young blonde rushed over to her mother and put her small, chubby arms around her. Juuhachi-gou responded by
wrapping her daugher in a hug. "I'm sorry sweetie, Krillin..." she acknowledged him by looking up, "But Zenya is gone.."


"No!" the nasal tones of Krillin joined in just then, "There has to be some mistake!!! She's ok, I know she is!"

The menacing face of Juunana-gou appeared before the bald former-monk, "I'm afraid you're wrong, cueball." he sneered
and back-handed Krillin in the face, creating another whole in the wall as the small warrior went flying.

"BROTHER! This has gone far enough!" Juuhachi screamed out in anger as she put Marron down. "First, you leave me and turn
evil yet again, then you kidnap my sister and brainwash her, and now my FAMILY! That's way over the line!"

#17 just smirked at her and guestered for her to fight him. "Come on sis, I know you have it in you...let's finish this
now..."

"Fine with me." The tall blonde android growled and bent into fighting position.

Two tall figures with dark spiky hair appeared just outside of the inconspicuous looking mountain. It may look inconspicuous,
but it sure doesn't feel that way.

"Hey Dad, where is everybody?" teen Gohan asked his father.

"I dunno, Gohan...but they're close."

The two Saiyans peered around every corner and tried scanning for ki, however, they only felt a very weak ki coming from
inside the mountain. Goku's eyes flashed as he identified the weak ki. "It's Krillin."

Gohan held his chin in his hand and then walked up to the cliff and pounded on it. It made a hollow sound. "In here."
he guestered to Goku to follow him and they discovered the secret door to level 3.

"This must be where Gero's old lab was, why else would they be here?" Gohan mused.

"You're right, son, I just hope Krillin's ok."


Continued next chapter....(A/N: Yeah, lousy cliffhanger, but oh well!)
