Bug Hunters
part 5
Filed Memories...
Goku stood before a painted white hatch that lead downward into a pipe
sunk into the ground at the Antarctic. "This is it?" he asked calmly
turning towards Carl.
"Yes, this is the research center; I've got an old colleague that works
here. There's the antenna over there!" the man indicated a mass of
antenna's that pointed towards the sky a few hundred yards away. He was
shivering and miserable looking; Goku, Tenchi, and Ranma where all
unaffected by the weather.
"I know Dr. Wallberg Carl." Goku frowned at him and his companion got a
strange look on his face as if he had just remembered something.
"I was hoping you'd forgotten." muttered Carl as he turned away.
"How could I?" spat the Saiyan as he turned the wheel on the hatch and
pulled it up. Tenchi and Ranma exchanged looks, "Who do you think this
guy is?" asked Tenchi.
"I don't know, looks like the boss don't trust him though." Ranma
watched the two men disappear into the hatch. "Let's go meet him."
Goku smiled at the two men in lab coats who rushed down the hall and
stopped as they stared at the intruders. "Who the hell are you?" asked
the black man who was wearing a pair of thin-framed glasses, he was a
thin man in reasonable shape. His companion, a chubby looking bearded
white man pulled a pistol out of his belt and aimed it at the intruders.
"I'm Son Goku, and this is Carl Markson; We are here to see Dr.
Wallberg," he extended his hand towards the two men and smiled warmly. A
pretty woman in her late twenties appeared behind the men. "What did you
say your name was?" Goku looked directly at her and took a deep breath.
"Hello Allison," Goku smiled at the tall and slender looking redhead
standing between the two other scientist, she was dressed in a lab coat
like them and pushed them aside.
"John? Carl? What are you two doing here?" she staggered for a moment
and stepped back in shock.
Tenchi and Ranma smiled between themselves. "Well, the plot thickens,"
Ranma smirked and crossed her arms.
"She sure is pretty." muttered Tenchi under his breath.
"We are in deep shit Alison." said Carl without breaking stride. "We
need your help."
"Goku?" asked the woman as they all sat around the table drinking
coffee; a short and rushed explanation had been made.
"That's right, the other evil programmed units are going to take over
the world in a few months and we have to lay low until we can get at
them." Carl stared into her eyes with a strange sort of desperation.
"And you think my research center is the perfect hideout? No, absolutely
not," she stood and turned away from the table.
"I'm not asking you Allison, I'm telling you. This isn't some favor,
this isn't about our past relationships. This is about complete global
domination, and believe me we have every intention of fighting back once
we have the power to do so," Goku snorted and stood from the table; it
was increasingly difficult to put on a mask of anger for him; soon he
wouldn't even be able to fake it.
"I'm not going to be party to some sick fanboy game of yours Carl! This
is exactly why I left you, stupid shit like this! Your obsessed!" the
woman stood up and threw her cup at him splashing Ranma and Carl with the
remains of her drink. "Get the hell out of..."
Ranma started to scream and fell to the floor as if she was having a
seizure; she curled into a protective ball and abruptly stopped screaming
as she lost control of her nerves; her body relaxed and she jerked
violently awake; the whole thing took about thirty seconds. "You bitch!"
screamed the young pigtailed boy as he stood and tried to leap across the
table.
Tenchi and Goku appeared beside him and restrained him; pushing his
torso onto the table, he glared at her angrily and struggled against
them. "Ranma stop! She didn't know!" Carl stood next to her and pushed
her back away from him, the boy calmed visibly and relaxed Goku and
Tenchi stepped away from him.
Carl stepped away from Wallberg and gave her a sad gaze. "I'm sorry."
"What?" she said in confusion.
Goku had a terrible realization. "You didn't!"
Allison jerked forward violently and clutched at her back before falling
onto the ground and going into convulsions. "Whaaaa?...AAAAAAAA!!!" she
writhed and bucked on the ground still trying to get to her feet in
desperation and anger at Carl until she finally passed out.
"What did you do to her?!!" screamed Tenchi as he tackled the man and
slammed him into the wall. Carl found himself being lifted into the air
and shook violently.
"I got us our final ally that's what! She has to help us now, she has no
choice." Carl shoved the young boy's arms away and stared at him. "She's
the only unit programmed to obey me and no one else; Washu."
"Washu? What the hell?" Goku fell to his knees and noticed that Allison
already looked different, smaller and younger.
"She is like you, but without offensive capabilities; instead her brain
has been enhanced by a military super computer that self adjust to copy
any computer more powerful than the one she has copied inside her head
currently. Thus creating the most powerful brain in the universe, she
will think billions of times faster than any human; now she truly is the
greatest scientific mind in the universe."
Tenchi stared at Carl in shock. "How is that possible?"
"Liquid metal, the computer inside her is made of liquid metal, the unit
itself keeps it from killing her. All of you have small amounts inside
your bodies, that's how your powers work basically; it's also why you
can't just use them all right away. Her's is the highest concentration of
liquid metal that we where able to create." the man seemed quite proud of
his accomplishments; That is until Goku punched him in the face knocking
him out cold.
"Ass hole."
Tenchi grimaced and Ranma simply nodded in agreement with her leader. "I
never liked him."
Two hours later they all sat around the table again, this time
explanations where over; Allison sat silently and glared at Carl while
Goku, Tenchi, and Ranma flipped through the folders that where spread out
across the table.
"Robert Curtis, Captain; Implanted with the Vegita unit. Skilled
marksman and other irrelevant training. None of this matters any more!"
Goku tossed it to the center of the table and crossed his arms.
Tenchi raised his eyebrow and spoke up. "This does, Hilton Curtis;
implanted with the Ryoga unit."
"Relation to Vegita?" asked Goku looking interested.
"Yes, Ryoga is Vegita's son."
"That explains why Ryoga would join their side." Goku frowned a little
harder. "With the honor system implanted on him we can basically forget
about getting him on our side; not unless we had an Akane unit."
"You think he might defect?" Tenchi and Ranma both looked interested all
of a sudden.
"Ryoga isn't really a villain, but we can't count on it. Vegita is a
villain, but he was also a father; He'll likely keep Ryoga as his son,
it's unlikely that Ryoga would abandon his father or disobey him unless
he has good reason to do so; for example, if he fell in love with someone
and she was in danger."
Curtis nodded in agreement with Goku. "He's right, Ryoga is loyal and
highly emotion driven. He won't abandon his father, I didn't program
Trunks into the system, but I didn't suppress the fatherly instinct
either. I also don't recommend trying to seduce Ryoga into joining, it
might work; but his emotions are highly volatile and he would become an
obsessive lover. He'd be even more dangerous if we tried to trick him
that way and he found out."
Ranma raised an eyebrow and wondered why they where all looking at him.
"You think I'd do that?"
"I thought it might cross your mind, Ranma has tried playing with his
emotions that way in the manga, it never went well," Goku smiled at him.
"Just trust me, if you get the opportunity to do it, don't unless your
willing to follow through."
Ranma merely nodded in answer and kept silent; something seemed strange
about him at the moment to Goku and he noted it, but said nothing.
"What about this place, what are we going to do here?" Tenchi wasn't to
concerned with the files at the moment and frowned. "None of this matters
any more."
Washu finally spoke up. "We run the research center exactly as we always
have, it's unlikely they'll pay much attention to us; this is a non
military oceanic research center. If we suddenly just stop doing research
things will get suspicious, my colleges and I will continue our work."
"No, your colleges will continue your work and you will work with us."
Carl looked directly at her and she frowned. "Your work will improve too
much for this place not to get noticed, we need a base of operations and
you can supply it. Besides, we have much more important concerns such as
tactical planing and how we can get the edge on them."
"Why should I become involved in your little war?" Alison crossed her
arms belligerently.
"Because you have no choice, this is a global conflict. We don't have
time or recourses to work this out any other way." Carl sat back in his
chair and matched her gaze. "Besides Lil' Washu, your program is all
encompassing; you'll prefer more mechanical scientific research to
penguins anyway in a day or two."
"You can call me Doctor," sneered the woman, almost on an impulse she
added. "Only they can call me Lil', Washu."
Outside the two scientist waited patiently for the meeting to end. "What
do you make of this?" asked the black man.
"Joe, I don't know, they did something to Allison and now she's acting
weird. Did you know she made me call her Lil' Washu earlier?"
"Yea, she did the same thing to me; Bob something funny is going on here
and I'm not sure I like it," the doors opened and they walked in to the
room where the group was waiting.
"Come inside gentlemen, we have much to discuss," said the normal
looking man at the head of the table. Allison was giving him hateful
looks and typing on a small laptop computer. Three very muscular men sat
around the table lazily, and apparently the cute girl who was with them
had vanished.
"I think things are about to change around here Bob."
"You have no idea," said Goku in reply as the door closed behind them.
The small television flickered in front of the UN as it's members
whispered amongst themselves. On the screen a Russian General stood
looking weary and beaten; "They have the codes to launch the missiles, we
could not stop them. Our base is gone, there is only death there now. We
cannot defeat them." He was cut off abruptly by a white beam that burned
his head clean off and the camera moved to show Vegita sitting lazily in
a chair with his hand raised.
"We have taken over a large portion of northern China, you will respect
our claim to this land or we will launch the missiles to protect
ourselves; any attempt to attack our borders will be considered an act of
war," he smirked at the men and the screen showed thousands of dead
Chinese soldiers. "As you can see we are quite capable of backing our
claims."
The ambassador to China stood and screamed at the man on screen. "This
is an outrage!! The Chinese government will not stand for..."
"The Chinese government will fall if we are provoked, we are much more
powerful than you can hope to imagine. We are declaring our independence
from your government Ambassador, accept it." Vegita's smile vanished in
an instant and was replaced by an evil snarl. "Good bye," the screen went
black and hundreds of men stood and shouted creating an uproar in the
building.
The American ambassador stood and turned to leave. "My god, they are
going to start another world war."
Bison smiled as he stood with Kagato watching the news broadcast on the
large screen in front of them. "HA! That should get their attention! They
can't help but attack us now, the Chinese will retaliate and we will take
the country."
"Yes, first Asia and then the world." Kagato smiled and pushed his
glasses up onto his nose. "Soon the world will have no choice but to
submit to our demands."
Bison's smile grew into an insane grin. "Then the world will fall, I
will control the shadows, Vegita will rule the governments, and you my
friend will control the world's armies."
Saffron walked between them, "I do hope you remembered my little piece
of the world."
"Of course, you will get your little piece of China after the world is
ours; you and Herb can set up your little Dynasties with your little
lackey as help," Bison said it in an a mocking tone.
"Think what you like Bison, I have no need of the world; it isn't
enough." Saffron walked quietly out of the room and left them alone.
"The world is not enough? How passe'" Kagato smiled. "He is correct
though, I plan to conquer the entire solar system."
"How do you plan to do that?" Bison seemed amused by his companion.
"I will build the greatest battleship ever constructed in space, after
that I will colonize Mars and begin expansion to Jupiter and it's moons.
I will discover the secrets of the universe and find the ultimate power!"
the man laughed and Bison joined him; if he was allowed to leave the
earth when it was conquered then he might not stand between him and total
domination; that only left Saffron and Vegita to deal with, their lackeys
would fall easily without their leadership.
"What about you, what are your plans for the world?" Kagato seemed
mostly uninterested in him, but he still tried to remain civil.
"I plan to rule the underworld from the shadows, a criminal empire that
covers the entire planet. Once Vegita instills himself as emperor I will
control everything from the shadows, let him have the light I have no use
for it. My plan is already underway, I have a strong hold in the American
underworld as well as the European criminal world, soon I will be the
true emperor of the world." Bison clenched his fist and allowed the blue
flames to burn showing his power for a moment. His thoughts revealed
another side of his dark plan "After we have a stable grip on the planet
I'll have all who stand in my way assassinated, thus securing all the
power for myself!"
"Interesting, I'm going to begin my work as soon as we have a hold of
the Chinese military completely. As Saffron said, this planet is too
small for all of us." he smiled and glared at Bison thinking only of his
treachery. "When I find enough power in the stars, I'll return and
destroy all of you! Thus ruling totally!"
Son Goku stood across from Ranma and Tenchi looking completely relaxed,
they where standing in an open snowfield on the Antarctic continent.
"Come on, don't just stand there glaring at me, attack." His two
opponents charged forward full force and began their assault. Goku smiled
and stood almost completely still as he dodged around Ranma and Tenchi's
attacks; finally Tenchi slashed at him using the light hawk sword and
forced him to take a step back. Both of them where breathing heavily as
Tenchi and Ranma pushed Goku back with a rapid succession of slashes,
punches and kicks; They stopped suddenly as their opponent turned towards
them and started to attack almost playfully.
Goku noticed Tenchi had backed away and Ranma smirked, "Got ya! Hiryu
Shouten Ha!" her arm shot upward and spun slightly causing a whirlwind of
air to pick up. Within a split second Goku found himself being lifted
into the air by a tornado, formed of his own energy. He spun in the air
and righted himself just in time to catch Ranma as he sailed up the
blast.
"Now do I have to explain again why you two are not to engage Nappa or
Vegita for any reason?" both of them looked at him placidly and shook
their heads.
Ranma looked at his hands in slight disgust, the power of the Hiryu
Shouten Ha had been so much that he had lost control of it and been
sucked in himself, that told him that Goku was far to powerful for him to
take on alone.
Carl stood waiting at the entrance of the base with his arms crossed, he
was dressed in a heavy winter coat and had on a pair of tinted goggles;
Washu stood beside him with a frown etched into her features. The group
stopped when they noticed them standing and waiting for them. Carl spoke
up when they finally found the courage to move forward again, "America
just fell, Vegita came personally and smashed the last line of defense
against his army. The President is dead; South America and Canada are
going to surrender this afternoon. The war is over, the Saiyan has won."
"All while we sat here and did nothing!" screamed Tenchi angrily.
"They took over the entire planet in two months, You think we could have
stopped them? Now that they have finished they'll turn on each other, at
the very least they won't stay together. We can take them on one at a
time now," Goku smiled and clenched his fist.
"You know, it's too late now. The only thing we can do is create more
conflict, the world doesn't need another war. The governments have
crumbled, the fighting is over; new governments will rise in their
place." Carl looked at Goku and tears fell down his face. "I created you
so that this would not happen; perhaps I should have given you his
personality; Son Goku would never have allowed this."
Washu spoke up. "Your wrong Carl. The only thing this man has done was
save all of your lives, and given hope to the peoples of this planet. Now
we can strike at them individually, Ranma has only just learned the Hiryu
Shouten Ha and Tenchi still has difficulty with the light hawk wings, you
could not have won. This isn't your fantasy world Carl, these people are
insanely powerful because of your mistakes, now we have a chance where
there was no hope. Besides, you know these men will turn on each other;
more fighting will erupt, more people will die regardless of what we
choose to do."
"There will be resistance factions, armies of rebels that will help us.
We must find them and help them take back their homes. That is how we'll
fight back." Tenchi stepped forward and looked back at the white horizon.
"I have only one thing to say, once we start the other's will become
aware of our work and try to stop us, they'll come full force against us.
We strike and disappear again, Vegita and Nappa are our main targets,
without them we shouldn't have any problem picking off the rest with my
help." Goku stood in an almost posing stance and stared into the sky.
"When do we start?" asked Carl with a grimace.
"According to my calculations they will be ready in approximately two
months time. With any luck the new rulers of the planet should be
fighting against each other for control by then and that will prevent
them from teaming up against us." Washu typed a few more keys and closed
the laptop that floated before her; she plucked it out of the air and
slipped it under her arm. "You are certain they will betray one another?"
"They are programmed for greed and deceitfulness. There is no doubt in
my mind that Vegita, Bison, and Kagato will face off against each other
sooner or later," Carl stepped into the pipe and climbed downward.
"What about Saffron and Herb?" asked Goku.
"With any luck, we'll be able to just leave them alone. They aren't
programmed to be greedy or deceitful, just to establish and protect their
respective dynasties at any cost. They may choose to side with their
former comrades though," Carl vanished into the tube and ended the
conversation.
"We aren't finished training, let's go back out," said Goku as he turned
towards his students.
The gave a groan and turned to follow him out into the endless sea of
white.
Three months later...
Vegita sat on the throne in what had once been the Buckingham palace; he
was dressed in lavish robes with a simple gold circlet resting on his
forehead. An evil looking smirk was plastered across his face as he
watched the servants within the palace tread carefully by. "This country
always did know how to treat the royalty eh Nappa?"
His bald headed companion looked up from the half-naked servant girl
that lay across his lap seductively. "You said it, but all this soft
living is getting to me. I'm gonna go kill a few hundred rebels."
"You do that, I understand there is a particularly large nest of the
vermin somewhere in Yorkshire." Vegita waved a few of the servants over
to his side and they bowed deeply.
"What can we do for you your highness?" asked the young butler who
seemed to be in charge. They all seemed very nervous because many of the
palace servants had lost their lives speaking to the two. Most because
they refused to serve them for one reason or another, a few had made
mistakes around them. Nappa had a nasty habit of having his way with any
girl who caught his eye, regardless of whether or not she consented.
Vegita noticed that a few of the prettier girls had stopped wearing
makeup and wore much more concealing clothing; he pushed all that aside
at the moment. "I want a drink, get me a few bottles of wine."
"As you wish your highness." said the man placidly. Vegita was a heavy
drinker, but alcohol didn't seem to effect him much, nor did the various
poisons the house servants had tried to give him. He was smart enough to
realize Vegita wasn't human, and the tail he had coiled around his waist
was not only real, but very deadly.
Nappa walked out of the room and a window was heard shattering in the
hallway. Vegita sighed, "Replace that window as well."
The resistance had been going well, Roger Callahan and his men where
getting ever closer to retaking the palace. The soldiers of the enemy
where mostly old British traitors and members of other Militaries from
around the world. Most of them where cowards, but they easily outnumbered
the various factions struggling to right the wrongs of the evil tyrants
who had taken over the entire planet. Many people accepted this and went
on with their lives, most in fact. A brave few formed resistance factions
and gorilla units to take back their governments, slowly it was becoming
a worldwide effort, faction supported faction. He'd even heard the
Catholics and the Protestants where working together in Ireland. Still
tales of these men told of immortal monsters who destroyed entire army's
single handed, all powerful beings who could send thunder and lightening
from their hands and lay waste to entire continents.
"It's utter crap, they are men just as you and I; We'll get them yet,"
said the red head who brought up a glass of water. They where few as
twenty at the moment, although more of them wandered the streets,
hundreds could be on hand in an instant. The base was within a cellar
just under a bakery and a candle shop in a run down section of town.
"How did you know what I was thinking about lass?" asked Roger.
The new man stood up tall and sneered. "Just men? I tell you they are
not, I've seen it with my own eyes and I aim to destroy them," he was an
American, remarkably quiet. The group had picked him up a few days ago in
a short battle with the military/police force. He had saved quite a few
of the lives in the room now.
"If they are as strong as you say how do you hope to kill them lad? Beat
them up with your iron fists? You're a good lad and an able body, but
hardly one to talk about taking down the great and powerful Nappa the
Giant or Vegita the invincible. They are just men, a bullet will find
them sooner or later, if not from us then from one of our compatriots.
I've heard that security around them is almost nonexistent, any man can
approach them if he wishes."
"Then why has no one ever survived an encounter with them or
assassinated them already?" the boy returned to his work and helped lift
a few boxes of weapons to clear a space in the center of the room.
"Luck, and I bet they have good protection. I'd wager those tales are
nothing more than lies spread by them to promote fear and unrest among
our kind." The boy heard his words and dropped the box he was handling.
"Watch it lad! Those are dangerous!"
Goku looked distracted and looked towards the door, "Nappa! You say
those tales are a lie old man? You're about to find out, Nappa himself is
approaching he's alone, and about five minutes...east of here and closing
fast," he threw off the brown cloak he had been wearing to reveal the
strange clothing he had been wearing the night he had saved them. It was
a Chinese martial arts uniform with a strange symbol on the right chest
and another more elaborate symbol on the back. He pulled a small radio
from his belt and shouted into it. "Ranma, Tenchi! Are you there?!"
"Got ya boss we feel it," came the reply seconds later.
"He's alone! I'm gonna try and take him out, stay out of it. I mean it!"
he waited for the reply, eventually Ranma's voice came across the
airwaves.
"No way! I've waited too long! We are finally gonna strike and you want
me to sit it out?!!" cried the girl angrily.
"Your not strong enough! Your power levels won't even scratch him! I
don't need to be distracted with protecting you two; so stay put and keep
these people safe!" he waited for the reply from both of them.
"Ten-four," said the reluctant pair one after another.
Goku turned around and noticed everyone was staring at him in shock, a
few of them had guns trained on him. "Who the hell are ye?" said Roger in
a dangerous tone.
"The only one who can stop Nappa and Vegita, it's about to get loud and
messy here; stay low and don't get killed alright? We'll talk when this
is over." Goku floated off the ground and smiled warmly towards the
people in the cellar before shooting up the stairway like a rocket.
The red head fainted in Roger's arms and he stared at the door in
disbelief. "What just happened?"
Nappa stood in the center of the resistance held territory and smiled as
a few of them emerged from their hiding places within the buildings. He
landed about a mile back and walked up to this point, his military
uniform told them loudly that he was the enemy and his massive size told
them exactly who he was. "Well, it looks like your surrounded; We've got
you right where we want you, don't move and put your hands in the air.
Looks like you just wandered into the wrong place at the wrong time
General."
Nappa laughed loudly, "You little insects don't realize do you. I only
walked down here to lure you out, you can't hurt me with those pea
shooters!"
"Your big, but that doesn't make you bullet proof, this is your last
warning," said another one of the men standing around him, beside this
man stood an eight year old boy struggling to hold up a rifle.
"How cute, the little boy is going to kill me; why if mommy was here we
could make a family outing out of it." Nappa glared at the boy and the
child stepped back out of fear.
"His mother was killed when you took our homes away monster!" screamed
the man.
"I guess you'd better get your revenge before I kill you, because I lead
that attack." Nappa smiled wide and the boy screamed as the rifle roared.
Nappa waved his hand and dropped the bullet from his palm. "Ouch. That
really hurt."
"Maybe these people can't hurt you Nappa, but I sure can!" said a new
voice. The massive Saiyan turned around and saw the smaller form dressed
in bright orange clothes.
"Who the hell are you? Captain Crossing guard? The Safety Commando? I
know you promote safe hunting right?" the giant roared with laughter from
his own jokes as the guns around him fired with absolutely no effect. As
the smoke drifted away the people stared at him in complete terror, a few
had fallen from missed shots and friendly fire, but most of the bullets
had struck home. "Now where were we? Oh, yes who the hell are you brave
little man? Still want to fight with the scary giant.
"My name is Son Goku, and I've come to destroy you and Vegita!" said the
man.
The eight-year old's eyes went wide and he screamed, but it was not a
scream of terror or anger. "Daddy! It's really him! Goku's come to save
us!"
"Eh? You know this guy kid?" said Nappa as he turned to face the man and
his son, most of the people had started to run away by now but the few
who remained where either too terrified to leave or watching Goku with
looks of haunted hope chiseled into their features.
"He's Son Goku! He's a Saiyan and stronger than you!" the boy backed
away from the bulky man and hid behind his father.
"Saiyan? Me and Vegita are the only Saiyans kid! I'll tear this little
shrimp apart and make you eat those words before I kill you, snarled the
man as he turned back to his opponent. Goku was standing calmly with a
smile on his face.
Nappa lumbered forward screaming at an amazing speed and Goku stood
silently awaiting the attack, just as the giant swung his first punch his
opponent seemed to vanish and Nappa bent forward as Goku delivered an
elbow strike to his stomach. The much larger Saiyan felt his breath leave
him and glared at the space in front of him in disbelief.
"Another one!?? He made another one!!" the giant staggered back and Goku
rushed forward kicking him into the air and sending him up into the sky.
Nappa snapped around and recovered in mid air and floated awaiting the
next attack.
Goku appeared behind him and kicked him hard in the back of the neck
snapping his body around and forcing him to face him. Nappa tried to
counter by extending his leg in a kick, but Goku caught it easily and
smiled as he opened his free palm and sent a burst of light into the evil
giant's chest. Nappa was blasted into the street creating a huge crater
that shook the ground for miles in it's creation.
Vegita stood in the palace as he felt a very slight vibration in the
floor. "Nappa? Sounds like he's getting a little rough," he frowned and
found he was getting a little uneasy. "Something doesn't feel right;
maybe I should check on him before he blows the city up," he stood and
took another drink from the golden cup in his hand before throwing the
huge velvet cape off his shoulders. He froze in place and looked at the
cup carefully, "What is this?" With his finger he traced the inside of
the goblet and dropped it while shaking in anger. He gently rubbed the
grit between his fingers and turned towards the servants in the room.
"Bring me the servants in charge of the kitchen and the wine cellar!
Don't answer just do it!!" they scurried away and did as they where told.
"No one tries to poison Vegita."
Goku floated and waited just outside the remains of the street watching
the dust settle and waiting for his opportunity. It came when a massive
burst of pure white energy appeared out of the cloud of settling debris;
it was followed by a roar of anger. "I'll kill you!!" Nappa shot from the
haze like a bullet towards Goku, he was stopped by a single punch to the
gut.
"Nappa you can't win against me, I'm stronger than Vegita." Goku kicked
the man into the side of a building and shot forward before he could
recover.
Nappa was thrown by the blow back into the air, he spun around and
opened his mouth sending a huge beam of energy towards his opponent. "Got
you!" he cried triumphantly as the beam slammed into his opponent
creating a massive cloud of smoke from the resulting explosion.
The smoke slowly drifted away and Son Goku stood with his hands in front
of him as if he had just released an energy burst. "Whew, that was too
close," he muttered absently.
Nappa froze and his muscles pulsed with anger. "Impossible!" he roared,
but he was far from tired or beaten.
On the streets below a few scattered figures emerged from homes and
buildings watching the sky in wonder and anxiety. Very slowly, a few of
them began to hope, and one little boy stood next to his father with
tears forming in his eyes. His hero had finally come to save them, and
nothing could possibly defeat him; deep in the heart of an eight-year old
boy everything made sense again; he knew that the world was finally safe.
TBC....
Finally the battle starts, I've got quite a few things planned for this
fic, and don't think Goku is about to have an easy fight ahead of him.
Ranma and Tenchi watch the battle and wait silently for it to end.
Saffron settles in China and Ryoga makes a choice. Stay with his friends
or help his father? Also we finally get to meet the Ryu unit, and
discover what he's been doing exactly over the past few months, one of
Carl's dirty little secrets is also revealed and boy is it ever a big
one. A village in Thailand is accosted by an evil secret and the other
