My DBZ Adventure
A/N:
Hi! This is my very first DBZ fanfic, so be nice. In my story, which I know will never happen, Goku is alive, Gohan is 15, Goten isn't around yet, and Trunks is still in the past. This story takes place after the Cell Saga and before the Buu Saga for your information. I will try to post one part per week, but only if you tell me you want me to continue. That's it for now, so enjoy the story.~ ~~
"You're way too slow, Kat. You're never gonna catch me like that," I said, taunting her.
"Oh, shut up, Jessie," Kat panted. "You know you're better than me at martial arts!"
I shrugged, blocking a well-thrown punch. "That was good. You're getting better," I said, looking at her. "Kat, you looked wiped."
"I am," she replied, throwing another punch, which I easily dodged. The momentum of the swing pulled Kat around causing her to lose her balance. Before she fell I caught her by the arms, holding her upright. I could tell she was waiting for the impact when I saw her eyes squeezed tightly shut. She opened them slowly and looked around.
I laughed. "I think you've had enough for one day, Kat."
She blushed. "Yeah, me, too. Thanks, Jess."
"No problem," I said, waving a hand. "Now go sit down before you hurt yourself." She nodded and went to sit down on a bench.
"Jessie, how old are you?" asked a voice.
I turned to see my other friend, Cassie, standing behind me. "Fifteen, why?"
"Because you fight like you're twenty-five, that's why," she replied.
"Yeah, Jess. You fight as well as Gohan does!" said another friend, Jo.
I blushed. "Me? No way! I could never be as good as Gohan," I protested. "He's the best!"
Cassie shrugged. "So? I still think you could beat him."
"Thanks, Cass, but I don't think so," I replied, going to sit next to Kat. Cassie and Jo gave up on trying to convince me otherwise and sat down, too.
"Well, if you keep practicing like you are, you'll be sure to beat this Gohan character," said the teacher, coming up to us.
"Thanks, Mrs. Nickels," I said.
"Now why don't you all go get changed? It's almost time for school to get out."
"Gym's over?" Jo asked. The teacher smiled and nodded. "Yeah!" With that she ran out of the gym.
"Wait for us!" we called after her, but to no avail. Once we saw Jo wasn't stopping, Kat, Cassie, and I chased after her all the way to the Girl's Locker Room.
"Wait, Jess, we'll come with you!" Kat called after me while I walked away from the school. I turned and watched her, Cassie, and Jo run up to me.
"You wanna come with me?" I asked skeptically. "I'm just walking."
"It's the friendly thing to do," Cassie said.
"And besides, we're bored," Kat added.
Kat was my very best friend, but sometimes she drove insane. I've known Kat (Katherine) for thirteen years and Jo (Joanne) and Cassie for eleven. They've all been my best friends for as long as I've known them.
I smiled, shook my head and started walking, expecting them to follow me. When I didn't hear any senseless chatter behind me, I turned around to find no one was there. I looked around and saw four bullies were surrounding the three of them from school. I immediately knew that wasn't good and I started to walk back to where they were.
"So, where's your friend?" the leader asked, circling my friends. "Your protector?"
"We don't need her to baby-sit us," Kat said boldly. At this I hung back out of sight.
The bully smiled. "Oh really? Seems to me every time you're in trouble she's always there to bail you out. Or maybe she wants all the glory for herself. You know, all the credit of saving the helpless people who can't take care of themselves. She probably thinks you're helpless."
"No way," Cassie said.
"Yeah! She'd never do that," Jo defended. I smiled and hung back, waiting until I was needed.
"I don't believe you," the leader said. "In any case, hand over all your goods." I watched as the four bullies advanced.
I saw Kat clench her fists and close her eyes, shaking a bit and I wondered if she was all right. I stepped out a bit, ready to defend my friends.
Kat suddenly opened her eyes and glared at the bullies so intensely that they stopped advancing. "I'm tired of being harassed by you!" she shouted. "For years you've tortured me and I'm sick and tired of it!"
"What are you gonna do about it, girlie?" another bully asked.
"I'll show you!" With that she punched the bully in front of her in the stomach and kicked her legs out from underneath her.
Seeing their comrade go down, the other three bullies got angry and advanced again. I saw that Kat had lost the confidence he had a moment ago and Cassie and Jo were ready to fight.
I finally decided enough was enough and stepped in to help. Kat saw me approach before anyone else did and smiled. I took off my backpack, anticipating a fight.
"Excuse me," I said loudly, grabbing everyone's attention, "but I don't remember giving you permission to beat on my friends!"
"And since when do we need your permission?" the leader asked. Even though she sounded tough, I could tell by the look in her eyes she wasn't sure anymore.
"They're my friends," I said dangerously low, "and you better leave them alone."
"We have better things to do than waste our time on you," the leader said finally. "Let's go." With that the four of them left.
I turned to my friends. "You guys okay?" They nodded and I went to pick up my bag.
"Thanks, Jess," Kat said.
"No problem. So, where do you guys wanna go? We have some time to kill."
"Don't you mean, ki blast?" Jo said. We all laughed and walked down the street.
"How about we get something to eat?" Kat suggested, looking at all the different stores.
I groaned. "Kat, you're always hungry!"
"Am not!" she defended.
Just then my stomach grumbled. "Hehe...then again, so am I." I scratched the back of my head and kept walking. "Oh, pizza!"
"Guys, I've never noticed this place before," Cassie said. "Look at it; it's secluded over here next to this alleyway and I've never seen it before. I'm not sure if it's safe."
I looked at it. "Yeah, you're right, Cass. I didn't hear anything about anyone adding anything here."
"I don't know if we should go in or not," Kat said, eyeing the place.
"Oh, come on, you guys. How bad could it be?" Jo said, walking in.
"Jo!" the rest of us exclaimed, then followed her inside.
We all looked around the place and saw that everything looked pretty normal. There was a counter with a few stools and a few tables scattered about the room. The walls had a few paintings on them, though most of them looked like anime drawings.
The four of us sat down at a nearby table and waited for someone to take our orders. After a minute or so a cheerful looking old man came out from behind the counter.
"Ah! Welcome, welcome! My name is Alfred and I'll be serving you today. I've been expecting you," he said.
"You've been expecting us?" Cassie asked.
"I saw you looking in from outside," he said quickly. So quickly, in fact, that I thought he was trying to hide something. Despite my suspicions, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I don't even know this guy. What gives me the right to judge him? I asked myself.
"Do you ladies need menus or do you know what you want?" he asked politely.
I looked at everyone. "How about a medium pizza pie?" I asked. Everyone nodded. We'll have one plain medium pizza pie, please."
"All right then! I'll be back with your food shortly," Alfred said. Then he went back into the kitchen while we talked amongst ourselves.
About five minutes later Alfred came back with our order and set it down on a stand. "Here you are, ladies. If you need anything else let me know." With that he disappeared again, leaving the check.
"He seems nice," Cassie said. I nodded, taking a bite of pizza.
We talked while we ate our pizza, insulting and teasing each other, too. When we were done we said goodbye to Alfred, paid and left.
"Well, guys, that was fun, but I gotta go," I said. "We should meet here again tomorrow at the same time."
"Okay," they replied. We waved goodbye to each other as we went our separate ways.
I walked past the alleyway, but this time I saw a bright light flash in it. I went down to investigate and I saw this portal-type thing at the end. I was about to run away when I felt a force sucking me inside. I tried to get away, but the harder I struggled, the harder it pulled. I screamed as I got sucked inside the portal and watched it close.
Suddenly I felt myself floating, then falling. I looked down and saw the ground rushing toward me. I screamed, thinking I was going to die and closed my eyes. But suddenly I felt myself being caught in strong arms. I looked up at my rescuer.
"You're gonna be just fine," he said to me, smiling.
I looked at him again. The spiky hair, the smile...it couldn't be! "Goku?" I asked. His face was the last thing I saw before everything went black.
To be
continued...**evil laugh**
Rose, shut up!
