Quick note: Due to the soul's text indicator not being compatible with this site (I places arrows on the dialog option that was actually chosen) from now on, the bold text will be the one the Soul chooses to say.
When Android 21 had said Yamcha would be spending more time with her, she really meant it. Dinner had been spent with her tail wrapped around his leg.
Yamcha scowled at he watched 21 devour trays of sweets in front of him. He looked down at his plate, pushing his food around with a fork. He had been given some chicken and rice to eat, though after watching 21 eat, he had lost his appetite.
"Do you eat anything other than candy and cakes?" He grumbled, taking a bite of his food. He knew the danger of being rude to her, but at this point, he couldn't care less. Frieza had been another story, getting on his good side could have saved his ass. But with this woman, being her ally was just as much of a danger than being her enemy.
"Hmm?" 21 hummed, swallowing a donut. "Why would I?" She said, though it came out as more pretentious than anything else.
"While sweets are great and all, there are so many foods with so many different flavors." Yamcha said, though frankly, he just hated the way she ate them. No one should look like they're getting off from eating. That, and it reminded him of his friend's fates.
"I already showed you why, it's amazing!" She said matter-of-factly.
"But there are so many other flavors out there." Yamcha countered. "There's salty, savoury, sour, bitter…" He listed off and was about to continue before 21 gave him a death glare. He was quick to shut his mouth.
"Listen, I really couldn't care about other flavors." She said blandly, scanning her plate for any crumbs. "Now finish up, we're gonna put my new plan into action."
"New plan?" Yamcha muttered, not liking the sound of that. "And what's that?"
"I call it, 'Operation God Eater'!" 21 smirked. Yamcha's stomach knotted.
Following the Majin through the sky's, Yamcha looked down over the landscape. The occasional clone dotted his sight, but he did his best to pay them no mind. Right now, he had to stay on 21's good side.
"Should be just up ahead." Android 21 said, seeing the old Cell Games arena appear in the distance. Why the first thing that creature did upon being revived was rebuild it was beyond her, though she honestly couldn't bring herself to care.
"What?" Yamcha muttered. A ki signature filled his senses and he couldn't help but feel the signature was… familiar.
"Who's that?"
"There's someone there!"
The soul was right, someone was at the arena. Laying in the center of the structure was… Gohan?!
"The HIFL?" Yamcha muttered. Something wasn't right here. That Gohan was a Kami damn teenager. "Alright, what's going on here?!" He yelled to 21. She looked back to him, shrugging.
"What are you on about?" She asked. She didn't wait for an answer, rather she sped towards the arena. Yamcha sighed, following after her. Surrounded by a group of clones, Gohan laid still, out cold.
"Hey, no touching!" 21 shouted, landing besides the clones. They stopped, standing at attention for their maker. "Good, now time to eat!" She chirped, licking her lips.
"Hey wait!" Yamcha called, touching down between Gohan and 21. "Don't eat him!" The clones sagged again, ready to pounce the Z Fighter.
"Why?" 21 whined, but extended a hand to stop the clones. They tilted their heads, confused as to why their maker would stop them from seizing more prey.
"Uh…" Yamcha gaped, trying desperately to find an excuse. "Well… you wouldn't want to eat a potential ally, right?" He asked, praying she'd go along with it. "I know him." He said, motioning towards Gohan. "He's a strong kid, and he could be useful for God Eater. M-more the merrier right?"
Android 21 blinked boardly at the Z Fighter, rolling her eyes. "Meh." She shrugged. "Fine, we can take him." She felt one of the three clones move against her arm, trying to get passed her. They probably weren't taking the fact someone denied their maker her meal lightly. "Oh this might be fun. Alright Yamcha, we'll take him with us IF you beat these clones." She said.
Yamcha grit his teeth, glaring. This bitch. "Fine."
"Alright then. Go Get him!" 21 said, letting the clones pass.
It's Time For A Dragon Ball Rumble!
Yamcha vs Clone Tien, Piccolo, Goku!
FIGHT!
The clone of Tien sprang forward, going for a jab. Yamcha blocked it, countering with a jab of his own. He struck Tien in the chest, leaving him open for more. He struck with another light hit, before crouching and sweeping his feet with a kick.
"Wolf Fang Fist!" Yamcha yelled, dashing forward in a barrage of punches. At the end of his attack, he kept going with the rekka, jabbing Tien again. With a powerful slash, Tien was sent flying back and crashing into the ground. Yamcha followed, waiting for the clone to get back up. He jumped as the clone recollected himself, slamming his head with a foot dive. A quick jab kept Tien airborne, only to be brought down as Yamcha slashed him with a shout of "Gale Claws!".
"Spirit Ball!" Yamcha yelled, grabbing his arm and forming a ball of ki. "Got yah!" He thrusted his arm forward, sending the ball into the clone. The ball slammed into Tien repeatedly. The clone got up, staring down the Z Fighter. Yamcha felt something grab his back. He looked back, meeting beady eyes before an explosion consumed him.
"Crap." Yamcha muttered, his muscles stinging. A crackle alerted him that Tien wasn't done. He readied himself, blocking a raw Tri-beam. "Not gonna happen!" He yelled, dragon rushing out of the smoke. He slammed his fist into the clone, beating him with punches and kicks in the air. "Gale Claws!" He yelled, sending the clone barreling into the ground.
KO!
Clone Goku was up next, stepping up and stretching. Yamcha was ready to strike, but before he could, the clone disappeared. "I've seen that enough times." Yamcha jumped back, dodging the Instant Kamehameha that shot from behind him.
Throwing his feet forward, Yamcha drop kicked the Goku, sending him into a pillar of the arena. Goku bounced off, only to be send back in with a kamehameha. The clone pulled himself out of the pillar, barely blocking another drop kick. He Dragon kicked the Fighter, sending him back. Teleporting, Goku kicked Yamcha into the air, and then shot a level 1 at him. Yamcha groaned in pain, barely landing on his feet.
SWITCH!
Piccolo appeared next to Goku, prepping a Special Beam Cannon. Yamcha was able to jump it, air dashing closer. He jabbed the clone from the back, before performing the Wolf Fang Flash. He didn't give the clone time to recover, jabbing him and handstanding to kick them repeatedly. The last kick sent Piccolo back.
The Namekian recovered, flipping back. Feeling desperate, they charged up a light grenade. The blinding ki barreled at Yamcha, and he knew if he didn't dodge it, he was done for. His next move would be ballsy, but it was his best option.
"NEO WOLF FANG FIST!" He screamed, ki encoating his body as he flung forward. To clone Piccolo's horror, he passed right through the Light Grenade. Yamcha slammed his fist into the Namekian's stomach, before he unleashed his raw power in an assault of punches. Howling, he sent Piccolo into a nearby mountain, causing the mass to explode.
KO!
Goku dropped back onto the arena, ready to fight.
"Sorry, but I'm done now." He heard as a blade of ki pierced his chest. He dropped to the ground, dead. 21 looked him over, tapping her foot.
KO!
YAMCHA WINS!
Yamcha let his arms fall, watching 21 turn the clone to sweets and eat him. "Alright, a deal's a deal. We're taking him with us." He spouted, inching towards Gohan. Android 21 glared at him, huffing.
"Fine." She spat, feeling hungry. The clones weren't very filling. "It won't matter anyways, his power is being suppressed like the others." She turned away, scanning the grasslands as if looking for something. "Damn, whatever caused that energy signature is gone."
"Energy? I didn't sense anything." Yamcha said, picking up the fainted Son member.
"Because it's not ki." 21 stated. "I'm not sure what kind of energy it is exactly, but it brought that kid here." She said, rubbing her chin. "I imagine that that energy will bring others here. MMM, just imagine the flavors." The Majin licked her lips. Yamcha tuned out anything she said to herself after that, focusing on the boy in his arms. A pang of victory rang in his mind. This energy might just be his key to victory.
Gohan was laid out on a bed in the Red Ribbon Army's medical ward. Yamcha stood next to the bed, watching the Saiyan rest. "Hey, you think you could link up with him as well. You know, like you did with Goku and the others." A brief period of silence coated the ward, before a soft buzz from the Z Fighter's chest broke it. A ball of light left Yamcha's body, hoving over Gohan before seeping into him.
A minute passed before Gohan squirmed. He shot up, gasping for air. "Cell!" He yelled, looking around frantically. "Wha? Yamcha?" He gasped, blinking and looking around. "W-where am I? Is Cell finally dead?" He asked, clutching the covers of the bed.
"Woah, slow down, Gohan." Yamcha said, putting a hand on the child's shoulder. "Cell's dead, but there's some stuff you need to know." Gohan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "First, what do you remember?"
"Huh? Well, Dad had sacrificed himself to beat Cell, but he came back." Gohan explained, feeling that he should feel bad for his father's death. But he didn't. Dead had been a meaningless concept. His father had died before, so he would come back. "I fought him and I won, but after that I passed out."
"Oh boy, I got some heavy plot dumping for you." Yamcha said, taking a seat in a chair that rested beside the bed. "I'll try my best to keep things clear."
"And that's what happened." Yamcha concluded, letting his back press up against the chair. He had informed Gohan of everything that happened after Cell, with Buu, Beerus and Whis, Frieza's resurrection. The Saiyan took in every bit of info with a heavy heart. He was in the future, and everyone was dead at the moment.
"I-I see…" He muttered, his head falling. "So what do we do now?"
"I'll tell you later." Yamcha said, knowing full well this whole base had to be bugged. "I'd rest up for now, we have a long day ahead of us." The Z Fighter stood up, turning to make his leave. "Take care, Gohan."
"You too, Yamcha." Gohan replied before Yamcha closed the ward's door. Reality had dawned on him during his explanations. If Gohan was brought here by what 21 called a "Time Hole", than what else could show up?
"Android 21 would like to see you." A voice called. Turning to the sound, Yamcha saw a short lab helper in a lab coat. The man seemed unfazed by Yamcha, unlike some of the other scientists. "Please follow me." He said, walking passed him. Yamcha followed, taking glances back at Medical Ward.
"You called me in and you weren't even decent?" Yamcha muttered, averting his eyes from the naked Majin. She was behind a thin, shoulder height cloth folding screen, rubbing a towel through her pink hair. Since when did Majins need showers?
"Well, like I said Yesterday, I need you to be near me so I can figure out your ki." 21 said, looking at the fighter as she dried her arms. "So for now on, you'll be sleeping with me?"
"NO WAY!" Yamcha yelled immediately, feeling his face flush to a paleness. "I'm not doing that!"
"Too bad, you don't have a say in the matter." Android 21 chirped, stepping out from behind the screen, not caring that she gave Yamcha a full view of her in the buff. He was quick to shoot his arms forward to block the sight, his face turning red. "I need you close by, and sleeping here will give me extra hours to figure out your ki."
Yamcha scowled, cursing whatever God was cruel enough to put him into this scenario. If it were any other attractive woman, he'd be all for it. But this Lady was a damn monster. Any attraction he had towards her body was overshadowed by his disdain for her everything else. "I really hate you."
"I know, that just makes it all the funnier." 21 laughed, finally grabbing her clothes and putting them on. "Now go train or something, I need to to get stronger incase anyone else shows up."
Gohan thanked the Nurse as he stepped out into the hall. After few hours of rest, they had finally let him walk around. He scanned the hall, spotting a clock on the wall. "Ten thirty, I've been out for that long?"
"I was waiting for you to wake up."
"Yeah, basically."
"...!" Gohan did a double take, whipping his head around to try and find the source of that voice. "Who's there!?"
"I'm in your head, kid."
"I'm that soul from earlier."
"Huh? Oh, are you that Soul Yamcha told me about?" Gohan asked, letting himself relax. "What are you doing here? I know about the Linking, but shouldn't Yamcha be your main host?" The Soul was quiet, leaving Gohan to cock an eyebrow. "Where is Yamcha, if I might ask?"
"Well…"
"Between a rock and a soft place."
Yamcha did his best not to fidget in 21's embrace. The Majin had fallen asleep an hour ago and in her resting state, saw fit to hold onto the Z Fighter. Her left arm rested on Yamcha's chest, while her right circled under his back and held his side. Her face was pressed into his neck, while her legs wrapped around his and her tail held his thigh. The Z Fighter's arm laid smothered between the Android's bust. Her breathing coated his neck in a warm air.
"I hate everything. I am a pit of unlimited rage." Yamcha muttered to himself. He slowly let his eyes closed, but before he could fall asleep, he swore he heard Frieza's voice.
"You Bastard! I thought we have something!"
That last bit of dialog by Frieza was a joke about the cut scene where he calls Yamcha handsome. I found that scene funny and so did a lot of other people if all that shipping art on twitter is any indicator.
Also, Eyy, an update! :D
After some planning and consideration, I think I know where I want this story to go. I'll be including the characters that weren't in the story (Trunks, Gohan, ect)... mainly because Yamcha was the only member of my team that was actually in the story.
Let me know who you want to see after next chapter. Trunks enters next, but after that, it's up to you guys to decide who appears. Please note, I'll only be including characters that are already or are soon to be in the game, like Hit, Bardock, ect. So sadly no Roshi or Jiren.
Hope you enjoyed, have a great day.
