Gohan pulled Goten away from the window. Since his father was away all the time, subconsciously he took on the role as the lead man of the family. He always checked up on his mother, made sure that Goten finished his homework, and spent a little time each morning with both of them. In his mind it was making up for the time his father wasn't there.

"Gohan? Did you hear that? It sounded like Trunks was calling for us." Goten said as his big brother pulled him away from the house. Gohan had heard Trunks but was too deep into his own thoughts to reply.

"Yes, I did." Gohan simply replied. ~ Trunks? What is it? Is Vejita all right? ~

~ Yes, Father is ok. Mother and him did fight though. The look in her eyes toward him was terrifying like she wanted to see him dead. ~ Trunks spoke back.

Gohan shivered unconsciously. If Bulma was able to do that to Vejita, then it was a thousand wonders why he was still alive. He knew that Trunks parents fought all the time. He always wondered if what would happen if the tables were turned. Now he wished that he hadn't wondered.

~ Gohan and Trunks, listen, we don't have much time before Bulma and Chichi finds out that we are on to them. You have to listen carefully. ~ Krillen intervened.

Vejita turned his head sharply towards Krillen. ~ Coward, how come I didn't hear you say 18 as well? What are you protecting her? ~

Krillen shook his head slowly. ~ No, she is the one that told me what was going on. She couldn't say much other than she was immune to the spells. ~

~ Spells!? ~ The rest of the group screamed in Krillens head. Krillen rubbed his temples before continuing.

~ Yes, my wife told me that a demon had placed spells on Bulma and Chichi which in turn, has made them more powerful than us. I don't know how to reverse the damage, but she said that if the demon found out about her treachery that all three of them would perish. I don't think she was kidding guys. Look at Vejita, he's still bruised up from the earlier attack. And I don't know very many people that can do that to him. ~

Vejita snorted. His mate was not supposed to be one of those people. ~ Well baldy, what are Kakarotto and I supposed to do? Let our mates beat the tar out of us? ~ Vejita was interrupted from his transmission as he felt a ki level rapidly rising back near Capsule Corp.

"Guys, what was that?" Krillen asked timidly. Then it dawned on him. "KUSO!!! Guys we got to get to Yamucha's and quick!!!"

Yamucha stretched out languidly as he got up out of bed to answer the door.

"Who could it be this early in the morning?" he muttered as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He had just gotten to bed a few hours ago from being out with his girlfriend. As the knocking on his door slowly increased in volume, he turned the handle to find his past love on the doorstep.

"Bulma! It's so good to see you! What are you doing up so early?" Yamucha replied happily. Even though Bulma and him had broken up, they still kept a close friendship, or so he thought. Bulma just stared at him with her ice blue eyes. Yamucha laughed nervously. "Well ok then, would you like to come in? Something wrong?"

Bulma just smiled evilly. "Why not, I don't care if your home gets trashed or not."

~ Yamcha!!! Get out of there! Bulma is not in her right mind! She is out to kill! ~ Gohan screamed into Yamchas head. Yamucha stopped and turned to look at his past girlfriend. 'Oh Kami, no.' he thought.

"Oh yes, you finally figured out that this is not a social call? I plan on paying you back tenfold of the pain you caused me when we were dating. It was your fault we broke up. You fell out of love with me." Bulma replied softly as she walked closer to Yamucha.

"Bulma sweetie, I thought we were past that. I mean look at you and me; we are close friends now. You are like family now to me. Plus you have Vejita, and your wonderful kids." Yamucha stammered quickly as he backed up against the wall. He really didn't want to fight with her. He couldn't bear the thought of her beautiful face mangled from a ki attack.

"Friends? You have no comprehension of the word." Bulma casually said as she inspected one of her sapphire painted nails.

Yamucha looked at her incredulously. Those words coming from her mouth hurt him more than she would ever know. "I have no idea what is wrong with you, but I don't want to fight with you."

Bulma looked up and smirked. "You don't do you? Ah, well I need to change that," she laughed as she slammed her fist into his face knocking a crater in the wall. Yamucha shook his head trying to clear it quickly before she began her next assault.

Still bound to the recliner, Goku slowly awoke to his head throbbing. 'What in the heck had just happened?' he wondered. Chichi, his little fiery mate, had turned on him as if he was the devil himself. He couldn't comprehend the fact that she hated him at the moment. No matter what happened she always loved him unconditionally. He looked at his body and found that it was bound to the recliner that his mate had bought him.

'Now how the heck am I going to get out of this.' Goku laughed in his mind. Before he could think of a way out, his thoughts were interrupted by Gohans screams in his head. ~ Yamcha!!! Get out of there! Bulma is not in her right mind! She is out to kill! ~

Gokus eyes widened. 'Oh Kami, not Bulma too. Yamucha won't survive if she is out to kill.' He decided to send his own message through telepathy. ~ Gohan, Listen, its your dad. Get everyone to Yamucha's quick, he will not fight back against Bulma because he still cares about her. And if she is anything like Chichi was… ~ Goku trailed off.

The only thing he could think of doing is teleporting to Yamuchas house. He wasn't looking forward to another beating but it was the only option rather than his friend dying at the hands of Vejitas mate. Goku looked down to see if his hands could be brought up to his forehead. 'Good,' he thought in relief, 'My hands are near my face.' With a lot of effort he raised his hands and teleported to Yamuchas home. The only thing remaining was the violet energy bands that held him to the recliner.

Yamucha tried to pull himself up as Bulma kicked him across the cold hardwood floor of the living room. "Bulma please stop this." He spat out.

Bulma just grinned mischievously. "No, I am not done with my fun." She purred as she grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground. "Only I will say when I am done." She replied into his onyx eyes as she punched his stomach repeatedly. Blood was trickling down his nose from a gash on his head from where she slammed him into a mirror. He just couldn't bring himself to fight her back. "Yamucha if you want to live you need to fight back, you are being a weak." Bulma sneered at her ex. Before she could land another punch a tall figure materialized next to her and grabbed her arm. Her head snapped up at the man who stood in her way of pulverizing Yamucha.

18 stood in her living room contemplating what was going to happen to her. She knew that the she-demon had heard her. She sighed softly. Well she had at least warned the guys what to watch out for. She watched herself slowly turn into a black mist as the she-demon took her back to the Abyss. ~ Guys take care of my little girl, Krillen I love you remember that. ~ She called out to the Z-senshi.

Krillen screamed as he heard his wife's last words. "NO!" he screamed as he succumbed to tears. She had told him that she would be punished if the demon had caught wind of her treachery. And he knew that she was no longer with them because her energy level had dropped to nonexistent.

"Krillen, we will do everything within our power to bring her back. She sacrificed her own life for our protection. We can't let her down." Gohan said softly as he flew next to his friend. He had heard her request as well as the rest of the z force. He wouldn't let her down; they just had to figure out how to turn Bulma and his mother back to normal, in honor of 18.
