Garlic's dragon, like his dragonballs, was different from the original. This dragon almost looked like Shenlong, with its snout and its length coiled all over the sky. But this dragon only had its first two claws, rather than has all four legs like Shenlong. Behind the legs was a pair of immense, bat-like wings. Its horns were also different. Instead of the branch like horns Shenlong had, it had a long thin pair of antenna almost like the whisker's, swept back like an insect. . The dragon's scales were bright silver. However, the dragon's underside, its antenna, claws, and the extra large ridge along the dragon's back were a pearly, creamy white colour. The wings were clear gossamer, like an insect's, save for the fact that they were shaped like a bat's. The eyes were pitch black.
Garlic shielded his eyes from the glare of the dragon for a moment; himself surprised at the result. Marron and her captor could only look up in awe.
"Ugh. Ugly." Garlic snorted. "But it'll do, so long as it can..."
Before he could finish, the dragon spoke in its typical, deep booming voice.
"Greetings, mortals! Speak your wish, but reflect upon your desires, as you are granted but one wish!"
"Only one?" Marron softly mused to herself. She wasn't quite sure what Garlic was planning to wish for, but it probably was not good. She had to do something, fast.
"Eternal dragon, I wish for my par...." Marron couldn't say anymore, as a hand was held over her mouth. She promptly replied by biting the hand's fingers.
"Ouch!" Her captor yelped. Garlic turned towards her.
"Don't you even try it, girl!" He warned.
"Or what? What are you going to wish for?" Marron taunted.
"For your information, although it's none of your business, I'm planning to become the strongest fighter in the universe, that way no one can defeat me and send me to any other dimension, and I can get what I want!"
"Yeah right." Marron said, daringly, though inside she was ready to just about faint of fright. But she couldn't she had to stop, stall, or do whatever it took to prevent him from making his wish.
"It doesn't matter HOW strong you become. Someone else will become stronger to get rid of you."
"Hah! I'm immortal, remember? No one can kill me..."
"...It doesn't matter. Someone will find a way to keep you away from this world." Marron said confidently.
Garlic growled, in his midget like way. Then he turned his back to her, facing away.
"Perhaps you're right." Garlic said finally, reluctantly.
"Boss?" One of his minions questioned. Marron looked at him in surprise. Was it possible that she had reached him?
"Quiet." Garlic hissed. "What the girl says may be true. All the time I've sought Earth, only to have it taken away at every turn, always being pushed away from it." Garlic seemed to think for a moment. "Then again..." He paused again, only to whip around, grinning wildly again.
"...If I cannot stay on Earth, I'll arrange for you to! In the worst possible way!"
"What?" Marron blinked, not understanding.
Garlic again faced the dragon, which during the whole conversation had been waiting patiently.
"Eternal dragon, grant me the one wish that all of the people of Earth shall become immortal!"
"As you wish." The dragon said, it's eyes growing even darker than before. Garlic laughed sadistically at his plan, while light seemed to envelop Marron.
"Something's happening." Trunks observed, flying towards the dragon's location.
"Less talking more flying." Vegeta urged gruffly, accelerating in front of Trunks. Trunks pushed himself to catch up, only to see that Vegeta had stopped up ahead, and was yelling at the top of his lungs. Likewise, Trunks also paused, giving a questioning look at his father. But he didn't get to ask why he had stopped, as both he and Vegeta became surrounded in white light, until Trunks too, began to yell.
"AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHH!!"
And so it was the same all around the world.......
"Your wish has been granted." The dragon said at last, as the darkness from its eyes began to die down. "Fare thee well."
With that said, the dragon disappeared, and the dragon balls rose up into the sky, then split up. Strangely, three dragon balls moved away in a triangle upwards, while another three moved in the opposite directions to these, downwards, barely skimming the ground before they moved back up into the air. One dragonball remained, and floated down to the ground, while the six other dragonballs moved away as multi-coloured comets. The green one, once on the ground, stopped glowing, and became a perfectly round stone.
"Hey boss..." The browny, horned man who had spoken up before asked. "What happens if someone else went looking for those dragonballs to make a wish?"
Garlic laughed again. "It wouldn't work. As you saw, I made sure that the dragonballs moved so that they would be as far away from each other as possible. And they aren't scattered on Earth this time. This time, these dragonballs have been moved all over the cosmos. It would be practically impossible to find them all.
"And to top it all off, each dragonball will remain stone except for a certain day of the week for each of them, unless another dragonball is nearby, then they would stay as dragonballs."
"Geez. They'd be pretty hard to find. What if you want to find them?"
Marron listened intently as Garlic smirked as his henchman. "Huh. I won't be needing them anymore."
"Are you sure you made the right wish boss, I mean, with everyone being immortal and all..."
Garlic snorted. "I know exactly what I'm doing. There's no other way to get everyone to suffer any more than they will now. And since I feel so satisfied, I think I'll lie back and watch the results, while guarding this one...." Garlic picked up the stone dragonball, admiring it. That is, until it was snatched from his hands so quickly he could barely see it going.
"Eh?" Garlic stared at his empty palm, incredulously.
"I think I'll keep a hold of this." Garlic looked up, to see someone standing up in the air, looking down, and tossing the stone in his palm.
"GOHAN? No.... not you again!" Garlic yelled, still incredulous.
"Times have changed Garlic. But I see you haven't." Gohan announced. "At least I've grown." He said with a smirk.
"Yes. So I see." Garlic smirked. "But even I've gotten stronger. You can't defeat me this time, Gohan!"
"Maybe not, but I will, whoever you are!" Vegeta had chosen that moment to turn up with Trunks.
Garlic stared at the two. "And who pray tell are you?"
"The name's Vegeta. Prince of the Saiyjins. Strongest in the universe. And this is Trunks..."
"I've never heard of either of you in my life." Garlic said more to himself than to anyone else. "And I see you're strong, but are you strong enough?"
"Yes." Vegeta said flatly.
"Oh?" Garlic began to grow in size, and in strength. His skin became greener, and muscles poured out from his body, while his face grew more fearsome.
He kept on growing and growing, until he became the green monster Marron had seen Garlic as beforehand. Vegeta, though, simply stared at Garlic calmly.
"Now!" Garlic yelled. "Do you really think you can beat me?"
Vegeta continued to stare calmly. When Garlic approached Vegeta, all he did was pull back his hand and punch the creature in the face...
...And sent him flying 10 metres, through two trees.
Garlic landed hard, then got back up, hand on the ground, preparing to jump at Vegeta.
Vegeta felt that this guy just wasn't getting the message. As Garlic flew at him, he wasted no time powering up to a super saiyjin, then super saiyjin 2.
This time, Vegeta gave the green monster a good head butt, which sent Garlic back down to the ground. He righted himself in the air before he hit the dirt, but he had a definite concussion. Not that that was too much of a worry for one who was immortal. Garlic tried one more time, trying to attack Vegeta at a faster pace. This time he got a hit in, winding Vegeta as he was hit in the stomach. It insulted more than hurt Vegeta, who elbowed Garlic in the head in reply. Garlic was able to block the elbow, but he didn't block the kick Vegeta gave him, kicking Garlic into the air only to land further off in the forest.
"Is that the best that you can do?" Vegeta yelled at Garlic's shrinking form as it moved away. Then again, he felt he had to give the guy some credit, as he was strong enough to last against Vegeta with only so much damage. The Saiyjin set off after Garlic, leaving Trunks behind.
Garlic ended up landing on several knocked over trees. Growling, he slowly picked himself up. "Damn it... Those two men... they're so strong... even for me... I've never imagined..."
"Dream harder." Vegeta offered, flying over the clearing Garlic had landed in.
At this point Garlic heard footsteps, indicating someone was approaching him. He was already surprised enough today, but even then, he was shocked to see the familiar form of someone he thought he recognised.
"Goku? You too?"
The Goku look-alike smiled and shook his head. "No. I'm not Son Goku."
Garlic relaxed somewhat in relief. Yet it was too soon.
"Actually, I'm Goku's son, Son Goten." Goten gave the typical Son grin.
Garlic's jaw dropped. "Son of Goku? As in Gohan's brother?" Garlic gasped.
Vegeta dropped down from the sky and landed in front of Garlic.
"So, had enough?" He taunted. Garlic stared at Vegeta. Yes, he was stronger than before, enough to defeat Eighteen and Krillen, but he couldn't win against Vegeta, and he couldn't win if Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan and his brother ganged up at him at once. And though he was immortal, so now was everyone else. Killing someone was now impossible, but what else could one do? Garlic thought a moment, then finally came up with an answer. Looking between Goten and Vegeta, he found an exit, and headed straight back to the clearing.
"Hmph. I'll take that as a yes." Vegeta smirked, letting Garlic go.
But Goten watched the retreating form of Garlic suspiciously. "No. He's up to something." Goten rushed off to follow Garlic. Vegeta snorted, and followed Goten.
Back in the clearing, Trunks was sending ki blasts at Marron's captor. He had to be careful lest he hit Marron, but her captor wouldn't let her go.
"Trunks! Don't worry about hurting..." Marron tried to yell. But again the man holding her covered her mouth. "Quiet." He snapped.
Gohan had already finished off any other troops of Garlic's that had the strength to fight. About to help Trunks, Garlic suddenly burst into the scene.
"Quick! Take the girl and get out of here!"
Marron's captor gave Garlic a quizzical look, hesitating before obeying him. He jumped up into the air, holding Marron in front, in the way in anyone was to take punt shots at him. Garlic followed him above the canopy, as the Saiyjins followed.
Garlic smirked. "You might be able to defeat me, but since I have a hostage, I think it's best that you let me go."
"Guess again." Vegeta had caught up. He prepared a large ki blast for Garlic. Vegeta, after all, wasn't the type to fuss over hostage situations.
"NO!" Trunks snapped, realising what Vegeta was doing. He knocked the prince aside, interrupting Vegeta's concentration.
"Brat! Why did you...?"
"Garlic, leave Marron alone. She can't hurt you. Leave her out of this!" Trunks yelled, interrupting Vegeta.
"I don't think so." Garlic took Marron from the grasp of his henchman, despite Marron trying to squirm out of his grasp. "I'd prefer a bit of insurance so that I can make a clean getaway."
Trunks gritted his teeth in frustration. After a moment, he reluctantly decided to offer himself for Marron's sake.
"Garlic! If you need a hostage so much, take me, and let Marron go! I'll go willingly!"
"Trunks! No!" Goten yelled. Vegeta's eyes widened in realisation.
"Please." Trunks practically begged, waiting for Garlic's response as the green monster turned to the demi-Saiyjin, smirking.
A/N: Okay. Trunks's making a sacrifice. But that doesn't necessarily mean I'm having a Marron/ Trunks pairing, but it might. But what would Garlic do with Trunks? And what's going to happen now that everyone's immortal? What about the new dragonballs? All this and more in the next chapter(s). Review if you like! ^_^
