A,N: Ok, I�ll explain what has happened. You�ll see it in the flashback, but I�ll explain now as well. (After all, I don�t want you to get confused when you read this) Doctor Gero, leader of the Red Ribbon army has captured Son Goku. You�ll see how in this story ^_~ I don�t want to give too much detail away. It might spoil the storyline. Goku has been locked away in the dungeon; there are also lots of other people locked away too. As the story progresses, you�ll see who they are. The format is in Goku�s POV (Point of View) I hope you enjoy this story. (This is the first time I�ve done a POV of a character, so sorry is it�s a bit rusty, lol, and please go easy on me in your reviews. Thanks a bunch! ^_^) Hope you enjoy this: Chains Of Darkness Chapter one- Vengeance for an Old foe Quote: �Merciless or heartless, which is worse, or are they the same?� The place was dark. The chains were tight, and the atmosphere was brutal. All that I could hear was the sound of people�s fists connecting with people�s stomachs, and the sound of people wheezing in great agony. The faces next to me were scared; they looked as though this was the worse place they could ever be. I was about to agree. A place that shows no mercy, even to children, was indeed an evil place. I sat on the cold floor, damp from the blood that trickled there. My arms were chained to the wall. Defending yourself was not an option. Punch after punch connecting with my stomach. My orange gi now had bits of red patches from the blood leaking into the material. In this place, no one even showed a shred of mercy. This one time, I saw a girl getting attacked by the guards. They just kept punching and punching her, she cried out in pain. But did they stop? No. No one has ever stopped in this place, that I�ve seen. Not even if the persons life is at stake� The only time I have found you can escape from this torturing place is by getting called to see Doctor Gero. But really, is that escaping? I wouldn�t think so. Not with a villain like Doctor Gero. In this kind of place, the only escape would be� Death. �Get him up!� Shouted a cruel voice, pointing at me. �The boss wants to see him.� He said before he made his exit. The guards nodded and moved toward me. I knew this was yet another chance to get beat up. The only relief would be the walk down the long halls, at least then I�d be out of this torturing place- for at least a little while.. One unlocked the chains, while two guards hoisted me into the air. Blood ran down my face, and it trickled to the ground. As we made our way out of the dungeon I heard the people whisper who were tied up say �Good luck.� I got wondering what they did to deserve something like this. Maybe they did nothing at all.. That�s what makes my blood boil with rage. Once we were out the dark dungeon, the hall before me was bright. Red carpets were on all the floors I saw. There was a tall man ahead of us. He smirked evilly. �The boss will see you now, Son Goku.� He said, still grinning. This was really annoying, so I tried not to make eye contact with him. He nodded at the other guards, and they let me out of their firm grip, and walked back to the dungeon. The tall man led me down the long halls. Finally we got to a huge door. �In here.� He opened the door by touching the keypad next to the door. The door creaked opened, and I knew that inside there would be my old nemesis, Doctor Gero. �Doctor, Son Goku is here.� He shouted into the room. �Let him in then.� Called a screechy voice. Gero must be getting old by now, I thought as I heard his crusty voice. The guard pushed me in the room, and shut the creaky door. I really couldn�t stand that man. I looked ahead of me. I saw Gero sat down on a chair. �Please take a seat.� He touched a switch, and a chair came up through the floor. �No, thanks. I know what your chairs are like!� I pointed at my wrist. �Probably be full of chains like that dungeon was like!� Doctor Gero glared and pushed the switch and the chair disappeared back into the floor. �When I say take a seat, I mean take a seat!!!� He shouted. Pushing another switch and a chair appeared right underneath me. �Now that you�ve taken a seat, we can get down to business.� He grinned, what was it with these people and grinning!? It was really disturbing. Maybe they were all robots and they all had to do the same thing. �See, it�s not rigged is it?� He must have seen me examine the chair. �I guess not.� I said, now sitting back in the chair. Which was probably not the best thing to do in this kind of situation, since in an instant two wires came up. Seeing that I flew up in the air. �You villains never change do you?� I scowled. But I shouldn�t have been surprised. I had a strong feeling by entering this room that this wouldn�t be some kind of picnic. No, much worse than that. �Darn, I didn�t think he still had that much strength left.� Gero mumbled, rather angry. He started to touch a button. �Code 10230!� He shouted, some people shout the weirdest things. What could a few numbers mean anyway? A group of guards stormed into the room, with guns of some description. Doctor Gero pointed up in the air at me. Each of them looked up, pointing their guns at me. Instead of bullets, it was metal! Doctor Gero does come up with weird inventions! Anyway, the metal came straight at me, making me fall into the wall. The metal attached me to the wall. I tried to get free, but it was impossible! My strength was so low, I think after they punched me for so long that drained my power.. Those jerks! Doctor Gero walked over to me. He sent the guards away, waiting for them to shut the door. When they shut the door with a big creaky noise, he laughed evilly. �Now, you really shouldn�t fly away when I�m talking to you, Son Goku. You are now in worse shape than you were before you came in here.� �Not true!!� I yelled at him, not wanting him to know he was right. After all, when villains see their victims agreeing with them, it sort of makes them cocky. In this kind of situation, it wouldn�t be good to see him cocky! Anyway, the doctor stood with his hands clamped together. He looked ready to make me pay for destroying the Red Ribbon army all those years ago. Just then, the metal door opened again. �This had better be important!� Gero scowled. �Sir, I am really sorry to interrupt you right now. But there is a guest waiting for you.� Quite hastily he said that to the doctor. He rubbed his chin, glanced at me and then looked at the man again. �For interrupting me, I want you to take him back to the dungeon!� Gero ordered. The man nodded. Gero quickly departed and left the guard glaring at me. �Here I thought by getting promoted I didn�t have to be in charge of his captives.� He sighed. Then walked toward me, removing the metal from the wall, I floated weakly to the ground- only to be pulled by the collar all the way back down to the dungeon. The ground was really sharp, as I got yanked all the way back there. When we both arrived back at the cells, guards were waiting. I guess maybe they were told that I was coming back there. I really wish I wasn�t back there, it felt like a heartless place. None of the guards showed a shred of mercy.. Taking me back to my part of the cell, I saw the puddle of blood. I guess no one cleans up the damage they do to their victims. Putting my arms back in those chains really hurt, the chains were much tighter than before. I could feel it making deeper dents in my skin. The skin felt like it was burning.. The guard must have seen my expression because he said the chains had been adjusted, since they thought the chains were too loose. What a joke, they could see the damage it had done to my skin. They must have wanted to see me cry out with agony, which I would not do. I hide in the pain I feel. Just then everyone in the cell was quiet, and a tall man stepped in. He looked around, and then his eye contact met with mine. A smug grin appeared on his face and he strode over, in a casual way. He stopped right in front of me. �So you must be, Son Goku.� His voice was gruff. �The doctor has told me so much about you.� I could hear the sudden change in his voice. There was an arrogant way he said those few words. He kind of reminded me of Vegeta, thinking he was superior to those who he looked down upon, which was me at this time. �Oh, I see you�ve met him.� The doctor walked in, pointing at me. I looked down, wishing I was anywhere else but here. �Heh indeed I have. So when would you like me to test out the new equipment on him?� He asked. I looked up, wondering what the two were on about. I knew it could not be good. �As soon as possible. After all, we do not want him to feel a minute without pain. Making him pay now is better since I want him to feel the pain he put me through.� He looked at me. �You will pay for what you did to my army all those years ago.� I wanted to say something to him. But I had to bite my tongue. I didn�t want to dig an even bigger grave for myself; after all right now my grave was very big. I turned my head away, but that did not help much. I could feel his eyes watch me, it felt a weird feeling right down my spine. I remember that feeling from my brother, Raditz. It�s not a nice sensation, it made me feel weak and helpless. I got wondering what the evil doctor would do to me next. I also began to wonder how much more of this cruelness I could actually take before I burst into rage..
