Krillin's Big Adventure

!SPECIAL EFFECTS! "THOUGHTS"

Chapter Two

"Where am I?" the winged man thought to himself after having flown through the jungle and landing on the large branch attached to a tree that was well over one hundred feet in length. Then he hid out inside the foliage of the leaves surrounding him.

After resting up for a bit, the winged warrior took to the air again, flying through the jungle until he noticed a treehouse hidden among one of the large sized trees. Upon entering the treehouse, he searched the place, noticing there were food and water.

"While I'm here I'm going to train. In fact when I vanished it was as if I was in another dimension where my martial arts master finished training me. Maybe that was my subconscious mind. Those experiments were quite painful at times, but at any rate, it's time to merge everything I've learned, adapting it to this new body. By the time I'm finished I'll be better than I ever was!" Krillin thought to himself as he went through his training paces.

Over the course of time, Krillin completed his training, further mastering the techniques he had learned like the Kamehameha, Turtle Destruction Wave which enabled him to emit a much more powerful ki energy blast from his hands. Then there was Kakusandan which were autofire energy blasts. In addition to that, he had obtained the Taiyoken, the Solar Flare, a flash attack that can blind his opponents. His most unusual attack was the Kienzan, the Destructo Disc where he put a hand in the air to create an electric floating disc, using it to slice through his enemies.

"It was as if the martial arts I've learned throughout my lifetime have become inherent. Everything I do now is natural."

Krillin had spent several weeks living in that treehouse, training and living off the land of that lush jungle filled with game and fruit.

"I appreciate everything Master Roshi and the Shaolin masters at the temple taught me, but I should be getting home even though there's really not a home to get back to. Maybe I'll get even with those guys at the temple who used to bully me. Anyway, it's been nice staying here and getting in touch with nature, but it's time for me to get back to civilization. I simply have to figure out how to leave this place."

As Krillin paused for a moment, he could have sworn he saw his sensei standing there, nodding his head at him and vanishing an instant later.

"What just happened? Have I been dreaming just now?"

A few hours later, Krillin flew out of the treehouse, taking hold of a backpack filled with necessities he had accumulated over the period of time he had spent there including a couple new sets of playing cards. Upon flying through the one hundred foot trees of the densely forested jungle, he turned back and looked at the treehouse, saying a quiet goodbye.

"I must have been dreaming. Wait, no! It was all real. I can feel not only a more powerful body but a stronger ki as well. It's time to go."

After a few hours of flying through the jungle, Krillin noticed someone being chased by armed men.

"That's Dr. Betty Verona! What's she doing here?!"

"Get her!" a man wearing a red armored uniform with black trim called out to a dozen or so similarly arrayed men who followed after him.

"Oh, no!" Betty screamed in terror as her shapely legs seemed to move of their own volition, prompting her forward. Despite having been thrown out a window and falling several stories below, she had made it to the ground unharmed. Then she had fled to a nearby secret hideaway she had set up just in case things had gone wrong. After living there for a few months and making arrangements to depart, she had gotten too comfortable and taken a bath out in the open when a Red Ribbon soldier had spotted her.

The buxom doctor was wearing only a large towel around her body which exposed a great deal of décolletage. In addition to that, she wore another smaller towel around her waist under the larger towel as she kept on running with surprising deftness and agility, avoiding getting shot by the laser blasts of her pursuers.

All of a sudden, when Betty's pursuers were about to capture her, Krillin came swooping down on the rear soldiers from behind like a dive bomber, blasting them with ki blasts that came out of his hands and into the backs of the rear soldiers, exploding into their backs, sending them crashing to the ground and into a world of unconsciousness.

"What was that?!" the lead soldier exclaimed as he looked over his shoulder to see the winged Krillin bearing down on them.

"Who is that?" another soldier called out.

"Have you forgotten me already? I'm Krillin, the winged guy you tried to capture a couple months ago!"

"Really? We figured you had died out in the jungle. Well, I'm going to rectify that right now," the lead soldier said.

The winged warrior evaded the laser bolts until one of them struck home, bouncing off of his bare chest, having no effect.

"What the… How?!"

"I'm tough. Now let's get close and personal," Krillin said as he touched down a few feet from the soldiers, running towards them.

"Blast him!"

Krillin sped towards the three remaining Red Ribbon soldiers, avoiding most of the laser bolts coming his way until he leaped into the air and struck the lead soldier with a powerful roundhouse kick, knocking the helmet off his head and almost knocking his head clean off.

The two left over soldiers looked upon the long-haired warrior who put his fists on his hips with his wings spread out in all their glory while the torrential winds blew his golden locks to and fro. Then the soldiers poised their guns on him.

"What are you gonna do with those guns, fellas. You ain't gonna shoot anybody," Krillin said with his eyes narrowed in on the soldiers.

Then he spun around and used his stretching, prehensile wings to knock the guns out of the remaining soldier's hands.

"Come on, come on! Krillin said with making come-hither motions." Then he moved in on his adversaries at super speed, grabbing the two of them and smashing their heads together before the Red Ribbon soldiers knew what was happening.

"Now where did that scientist run off to? There she is!" Krillin took to the air after the fleeing damsel in distress, noticing that a jutting out branch had caught the larger towel she was wearing, yanking it off and leaving her only wearing the smaller towel around her waist.

"Oh!"

Before the half-naked woman knew what was happening, Krillin had grabbed her, scooped her up in his hands, and taken her aloft.

"What the…!"

"Take it easy, Betty. I just want to ask you a few questions."

"Where are you taking me?" the rankled woman demanded.

"There's a treehouse where we can talk. I want to know why you decided to experiment with me the way you did. It was awfully painful. So I'm going to have to figure out a way to punish you for what you did to me," Krillin said with a smile.

"Uh, oh!" the woman gasped, shaking a little.

Upon arriving at the treehouse, Krillin placed the attractive woman down with her hands raised up while the winged powerhouse looked down on her.

"Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Why did you experiment with me?"

Betty Verona found herself held fast by Krillin's immense strength, being unable to move. She also noticed how beautiful her former science project had become.

"I told you already," Betty answered arrogantly.

"Why were the goons who took orders from you earlier shooting at you?"

"That's actually your fault, you birdbrain!"

"Really? Why is that?"

"When you escaped, Dr. Jones threw me out the hole in the window you created when you took off," the panting woman answered.

"How did you survive?"

"If I didn't have devices on me that slowed down my descent, I'd be dead right now," the scientist answered haughtily.

"That's interesting. But it was your fault for experimenting on me in the first place!"

"No, it wasn't! It was my right as a scientist! Now let me up, you idiot!" Betty demanded, her bare bosom heaving upwards.

"Oh, really? Do you remember what you did to me when I mouthed off at you, mmm?"

"Um." Then the memory hit her.

"You tickled me pink and breathless. Well, I think it's time for some payback. Let's try over here. Tickle, tickle, tickle."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Don't tickle me with feathers, you idiot!" Betty demanded as she wriggled within Krillin's unbreakable grip.

"What was that? You should be more respectful while you're helpless and at my mercy," the avian said as his soft, prehensile feathers probed and touched her upper body, finding sensitive, ticklish areas Betty didn't even know she had.

"Oh, not over there, please! Hehehehehehehehehe! Mercy!" Betty huffed and puffed, wriggling around helplessly.

"Will you answer my questions?" Krillin said as his gorgeous face looked down at her pinking form.

"Whew! All right, I give up already. You win!" the hapless woman heaved helplessly as she caught her breath.

Krillin smiled at the flushed woman, looking her over. "Now why did you experiment with me?"

"I was working for the Red Ribbon Army who wanted to create an army of warrior slaves and limitless electrical power and energy."

"And you decided to aid and abet them in their plans for world conquest?" Krillin asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I'm not a world beater; I'm a scientist who wanted a chance to explore experiments without being hindered…"

"Without being hindered by decency, common sense, and human dignity?"

"You could put it that way if you like. Look, how about letting me up? You can carry me back to my hidden base where I have nice clothes to wear. Then we can leave this country all together. Don't you want to get out of this jungle?" the scantily clad female asked, looking up at him humbly.

"And go where after that?"

"How's Central City or West City sound? They're nice places to be. You can go anywhere from these places rather easily."

"That's nice, but I want to know exactly what you did to me. Why do I have these wings on me?"

"Well, I decided to use monster DNA on you while turning you into a cybernetic android. You're not really all that human anymore."

"What?!"

"That's right. You know how some people get heart transplants? Well, you've practically got an almost total body transplant. The only things organic in you are your brain and brain stem, and even those have been modified," Betty answered in a matter of fact manner."

"What are my bones made out of?" Krillin asked.

"They're made of an indestructible, flexible substance. I don't know the name of that substance but breaking your bones would be all but impossible at this point. You're very fortunate. As it is, you're superhuman, more powerful than the strongest of fighters."

"Is that so?" Krillin enquired, looking down on his captive.

"Yes, that's so. You should be thanking me," Betty answered with a pout as she tried to break out of Krillin's hold in vain.

"How much time do I have to live?"

"You'll probably live longer than most of us. But if you have some kind of health problems, I'll be able to help you. So you should really go out of your way to be nice to me," the half-naked woman answered with a knowing look as she let out a breath.

Krillin paused for a moment. "All right. I guess we can do the things you're suggesting, but if you ever do anything to offend me…"

"You'll do what?"

Krillin smiled and proceeded to tickle the helpless woman with his soft wing feathers.

"Hehehehehe! All right! All right! I'll be good! I swear!" Betty giggled helplessly, turning pink as tears streamed from her eyes.

Upon catching her breath, the gorgeous young woman looked up at her science experiment, noticing that he was beyond handsome, better looking than any man or android she had seen. Then she smiled at him.

"What's so funny?"

"I think you like me," Betty answered.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You could have beaten me to death rather easily, but instead you tickled me into submission. Now you have me practically naked, helpless, and at your mercy. And you love it. You know you love it," the woman said with a wry smile.

"Maybe, I do. But you had no problem tickling me when I was helpless. Then you went off and experimented on me. Why shouldn't I kill you right now?"

"Well, I honestly think you're a better person than that. You don't want to kill me. You just wanted to put me in my place."

"Oh, really?"

"I realize I was mean to you earlier, so let me make it up to you," the woman said, breathing audibly.

"What do you have in mind?" Krillin asked with an eyebrow raised.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"You think your ass can get you out of this ticklish situation? Hmmm?"

"Oh, yes!"

Then Krillin slowly removed the small towel which was the only thing covering the attractive woman.

Upon getting off the plane on which he had hitched a ride, Krillin flew over West City and took account of his surroundings. The bright sun was out in the middle of the day with the wind blowing to the point that Krillin was blown to the side. Thus he decided to land, finding a dark corner to change into some casual clothes while folding in his wings, wrapping them around himself.

Betty had been very accommodating after that night in the treehouse, her whole attitude drastically changing with her being helpful at getting Krillin a manufactured ID and different clothes after he had taken her back to her hidden base the next week. After they had arrived in Ginger Town, Betty had taken a plane to Central City for personal reasons, but Krillin was glad they had departed amicably.

After walking towards a bus a few blocks away from where he had touched down, he ran into someone he had never seen before.

"Hold it right there!" !SKIIID!

Krillin abruptly turned to see a large, obese, round figured man running towards him. As soon as he got to him, he stopped right in front of Krillin.

"Yes? What is it?"

appearance consists of completely white skin, two dangling earrings, extra large orange pants, an extra large banana white strap-on vest, a broad red sash, and an orange pointed hat with a Red Ribbon Army logo on the front. He is overweight and has pointed, light blue cold eyes. Underneath his hat is a domed glass cranium, similar to that of Android 20 but with a pinkish color.

"So there you are! Now I've finally caught up to you," the big man announced, the aroma of his breath assaulting Krillin's nostrils. His appearance consisted of completely white skin, two dangling earrings, extra large orange pants, an extra large banana white strap-on vest, a broad red sash, and an orange pointed hat with a Red Ribbon Army logo on the front. He was morbidly obese with pointed, light blue cold eyes. Underneath his hat was a domed glass cranium with a pinkish color.

"I don't know what you're talking about, fella. Exactly who are you supposed to be?" the handsome, young warrior replied.

"I'm a member of the Red Ribbon Army and I'm bringing in for the reward!" the circular man screamed, stomping on the ground as if he was having a tantrum.

"What? I still don't know who you are," the young man answered with a look of bewilderment on his face.

"I'm Android Nineteen! And after all the resources the Red Ribbon Army has used on you, you should have been grateful. Instead, you ran off and hid. Now you're gonna get it and get it good!"

Krillin looked the man over. "That's very interesting. It's been nice talking to you, but I need to get out of here."

"You're not going anywhere until we have this out!"

"He wants to fight you, Krillin," a curvaceous, country gal with long red hair wearing a cowboy hat, tube top, Daisy Duke, cut-off jeans, and high heels that showed off her impressive figure explained.

"That's right. My girl, Angela loves to see me beat people up!" Nineteen answered.

"I see. All right." Krillin spun around at super speed, quickly changing into his usual combat outfit that only consisted of golden gloves, trunks, and boots baring the rest of his body. Then he let his wings out for the world to see, putting his bag and outer clothes into his subspace pocket.

"I guess I'll have to find out how skilled I am at hand to hand combat. Let's go then."

"He's gorgeous!" the southern gal moaned as she regarded the muscular and well-defined physique of the avian.

"So you have pretty muscles. So what? I'm taking you down hard!" the rotund man shouted, getting in a stance where he stood on one leg.
