Chapter 4: Wolf Fang Fury

I've combined chapters 1 and 2, so this is really chapter 4, the chapter 4 you may have already read is now chapter 3. And what used to be 3 is now 2. Now that the organization is out of the way, let's get into the action packed Chapter 4!

As Kramer and Kaizen charged at them, Yamcha and Gohan jumped criss-cross to each other and the sparring sessions began with Yamcha now fighting Kramer and Gohan Kaizen. Both first rounds of sparring ended in stalemates.

"So you are able to keep up? Interesting. I must admit wolf boy, your progress is commendable." Kramer addressed Yamcha, sounding somewhat surprised that Yamcha was able to stand on even ground with him.

His tone of talking down to Yamcha seemed to enrage him. "Don't talk to me like you're still one of my teachers." Unable to control himself, Yamcha blindly charged in! Kramer merely smiled as he prepared for the onslaught. All of a sudden, Yamcha screeched to a halt, and started doing some sort of a strange dance like thing while putting his hands over his privates.

"What are you doing fool?" asked Kramer wondering if this was some sort of new technique or just some psychological tactic.

"I still…have to…pee!" As Yamcha said this, everyone listening in the room fell over anime style. Yamcha ran out of the sparring room and towards the bathroom. Kramer just stood there, stupefied by this, not knowing exactly how to react.

"Y-Yamcha, I can't fight 'em both!" Gohan yelled and began to run after him. Goten stood there for a few seconds, then looked at the two apprentices, shrugged and ran after his brother and friend.

"They're making a mockery out of this whole situation! We may need to use Yamcha and Gohan, but I think now I'm going to kill the kid." Kramer spit out in anger as he sped after the pair. Kaizen merely sighed, having stayed quiet and nonchalant through the whole situation and calmly walked, following his older brother.

Kramer and Kaizen realized soon enough that Yamcha wasn't going to the bathroom; he was heading straight for Master Taro's room! Mind control helmets or whatever they call them, if they're that important, he's probably kept them inside his own room! Yamcha thought to himself as he ran as quickly as possible to the Master's room. When he finally arrived, he immediately began to observe his surroundings. It seemed like a simple enough room, designed similar to Yamcha's room. There was a bed in one corner and a window in the corner opposite. Other than that, there was a closet, a bathroom, and one more door. Yamcha had seen this door before, but didn't know exactly what was behind it. When asked, Master Taro would always call it the 'supply storage'.

Before Yamcha could do much more than observe his surroundings, Gohan arrived to the room as well. Goten followed suit about a second after, and the footsteps of Kramer and Kaizen could be heard. "Yamcha, what the hell man?" asked Gohan, surprised that his friend had just ditched him like that, "and why are we in here? Is that the bathroom you're going to use?"

"Look, I'm not so sure we can win if we fight those two, so I decided that I'd eliminate the helmet thing first, and then the result of our fight won't be as important." Yamcha explained his actions to Gohan who nodded as he understood the reasoning.

"That's ingenious, let's start searching!" Goten exclaimed, sounding like he was on an Easter egg scavenger hunt.

"Oh you'll do no such thing, wolf boy!" Kramer practically screamed as he stood behind the trio.

Gohan decided to use the same tactic that'd worked against Yamcha in the forest. Instead of replying verbally, he charged at Kramer and attempted to land a left hook, which was blocked by Kramer's forearm. However, he was surprised that Gohan had attacked him out of the blue, which allowed Gohan's second strike, a knee thrust to the abdomen, to connect. Meanwhile, Yamcha ran to the mysterious 'supply storage' and decided to check out exactly what supplies were stored there.

Kramer managed to duck under Gohan's punch attempt despite the pain in his midsection. He then headbutted Gohan in the chest, and then connected with a vicious left uppercut, before a sharp kick to his waist, and a sucker punch dead on his right cheek, which caused Gohan to stumble backwards and cry out in pain. Yamcha was just about to open the door as he heard Gohan scream out in pain. "Damn it! Goten search in here for anything resembling a helmet," Yamcha ordered Goten and rushed at Kramer. While running, he positioned his hands into claws and yelled "Wolf Fang Fist!" Kramer's eyes widened as it seemed like there was a wolf running at him. Yamcha then unleashed a series of claw thrust strikes and kicks at Kramer, who managed to block all of them. However, when the assault was finished and Yamcha jumped away, Kramer's forearms felt sore from blocking all those strikes. "Thanks man, might have needed that one," said Gohan as he got into his fighting stance. Yamcha simply nodded in reply, getting into his stance as well.

"There shall be no two on one here!" Kaizen's voice boomed as he entered the room. He stepped in next to his brother and the four faced off once again, this time in a smaller room with a bed in one corner and window in another. That's when Kaizen realized that Goten was inside the supply storage. "Bro, what if he finds the helmet?" he asked, sounding slightly afraid.

Kramer laughed before replying, "Like we'll let any of them get away, whether or not he find the helmet is irrelevant, now focus on the fight." The four warriors charged at each other and another round of sparring began. Kaizen fought Gohan and Yamcha fought Kramer. Gohan managed to gain the upper hand with an elbow into Kaizen's ribs and then unleashed a barrage of punches on him. Meanwhile, Yamcha was struggling with Kramer, not able to attempt any offense as he was too busy trying to defend, barely able to do only that. Gohan decided to finish Kaizen off with a double kick to the chest, but to his surprise, Kaizen smoothly sidestepped and grabbed both of Gohan's legs. He then proceeded to spin Gohan around once and threw him towards a wall. Gohan was able to do a handspring and stop himself well short of the wall. As he looked over, Yamcha was being pummeled by Kramer now, who finally ended his assault by kicking Yamcha square in the nose, knocking him down after sending him flying hallway across the room. Gohan immediately rushed Kramer and tried to hit him again, but wasn't able to land any hits this time. The element of surprise was the only reason he'd been able to strike him last time. One thing was for sure, Kramer deserved to be Taro's personal apprentice. As Gohan jumped away from Kramer, panting from his assault, the two apprentices of Taro stood there with cocky grins on their faces. They thought they've already won. Yamcha managed to stand back up. Yamcha was sore all over from his confrontation while Gohan was panting from exhaustion.

"They think they've won Gohan isn't that funny?" Yamcha asked, now carrying a cocky grin of his own.

"Hilarious," Gohan agreed, putting on a similar smile. They'd both gotten a good measure of each Kramer and Kaizen's strength. And now both Gohan and Yamcha were thinking the same thing. They acted like Gohan was going to try attacking Kramer while Yamcha took a shot at Kaizen. However, at the last second, Gohan jumped and launched a flying kick straight at Kaizen. The element of surprise along with the direct hit into the side of Kaizen's face sent him tumbling to the floor. As Kaizen was attempting to get back up, Yamcha unleashed a Wolf Fang Fist on him, and began to connect with every single hit on his assault.

"Kaizen!" Kramer screamed and tried to rush to the aid of his brother, but Gohan stood in his way. The two began to exchange blows. Kramer was able to gain the upper hand and pushed Gohan out of the way with a forearm smash to his neck. He did this just in time to see Yamcha deliver a knockout blow to Kaizen with a kick straight into his midsection. Kaizen's eyes lost their color as he fell to the floor, clearly unconscious. Kramer was stunned. These pathetic excuses for fighters had actually managed to defeat his little brother, albeit through some deceptive tactics.

"Now it's both of us against you, think you can take us?" Gohan asked, jumping over to stand next to Yamcha and stretching his neck to recover from the blow he'd received seconds earlier.

Kramer merely laughed in response before stating, "I could defeat ten of you, two will be easy. You must remember I'm stronger than Kaizen and you only beat him because you were cunning about it. Something like that won't work on me." He got into his fighting stance as he finished speaking.

"Hey Yamcha?" Gohan started and waited for Yamcha to raise an eyebrow before asking "do you know what's up with that fighting stance?" He said motioning towards Kramer.

"It's not obvious at first sight, but it's a defensive stance, the type that allows your enemy to attack first. It's used to observe an enemy's strength by allowing them to have the first move. It gives you a large range of movement and makes it easier to jump or run around." Yamcha explained his analysis of the stance.

"Well, isn't you knowledge exceptional?" Gohan said teasingly. Yamcha simply smiled and prepared to pounce on Kramer.

"If he's giving us the attack, let's take it." Without another word, they both ran at Kramer. They then both unleashed a furious assault on him. Despite their combined efforts, he was able to fend them both off simultaneously. After about twenty seconds of this, Kramer finally backflipped through the air and made some distance between them. Gohan and Yamcha were clearly feeling fatigued now. They were both breathing heavily.

"Care to try again?" Kramer taunted them.

"With pleasure," Gohan replied before charging in once again, Yamcha following suit. Yamcha and Gohan once again unleashed a series of blows on Kramer, who was able to once again block every single strike. Kramer then ducked an attempt from both of his opponents to punch his face at the same time, and punched them both in their stomachs. He then kicked Yamcha in the collarbone to send him flying back a few feet. Before Gohan could recover from the punch, he lifted him up and threw him across the room into a wall. Gohan let out one final scream of agony as he slid down the wall, eyes closed.

"That was easy," Kramer started looking towards the room Goten was in when he heard someone grunting. It was Yamcha, getting back to his feet. "Hmm? Wolf Boy isn't done yet eh? No matter, I'll just slam you into a wall as well.

"And I'll slam you through a wall! WOLF FANG FIST!" Yamcha yelled as he attacked.

That Wolf Fang Fist could be trouble. Kramer thought preparing to defend himself. He was able to avoid being hit by any of Yamcha's attacks, but it took a lot more effort than before. As soon as the attack ended and the two fighters separated, Yamcha would not wait a single moment. He unleashed another wolf fang fist. The same thing happened again. Yamcha unleashed yet another wolf fang fist.

How many can he possibly do at once? Is he some sort of freak? Kramer thought as he prepared to defend himself from the technique a third time. This time Yamcha was able to land one strike to his left hip, but Kramer recovered quickly and parried or evaded the rest of the assault. When the two warriors split this time, Yamcha had a smile on his face.

"I got you once that time Kramer."

"What the hell is wrong with you? How do you keep using the technique over and over again? Are you some sort of freak?"

"WOLF FANG FIST!" Was Yamcha's only response as he charged in again. Even though Yamcha wasn't able to land another hit, when the fighters separated, Kramer was visibly tired. He was panting and stood hunched over with his hands on his knees. Yamcha smiled and prepared for one final Wolf Fang Fist to finish Kramer off when his vision began to blur and the whole room began to spin around him. Kramer notice Yamcha was just standing there, with a confused and painful expression on his face.

It's finally taking its toll on him, Kramer though now with a sinister grin on his face. "You'll make a great addition to Taro's army Yamcha, but until then, good night!" Kramer charged in prepared to deliver a finishing blow, a chop to the side of Yamcha's neck. However, his attack was blocked when someone grabbed his arm at the last moment. A stunned Kramer turned to see it was Gohan. How did he get back up so quickly? He should've been down for hours! Who the hell are these guys? He got his hand free and jumped back. "This time, I'll make sure you stay down as long as I want you to." Kramer once again got into his fighting stance.

Before anything else could happen, he heard "take this!" and felt something being forced onto his head. It was Goten and he'd put some kind of helmet onto Kramer. Kramer realized it was the mind-control helmet and tried to swipe at Goten's neck with his hands, but Goten jumped back and avoided Kramer by a split second. Goten stood a several feet behind Kramer, holding some sort of a remote control in his injured hand. He smiled as he pressed the button on the remote. Immediately there was an overwhelming amount of pain in Kramer's head. He grabbed the helmet and began to scream as his eyes widened as wide as they could. Within seconds, he was on his knees. He started to pound the helmet, making dents in it.

"I guess you can resist it, interesting," said Goten, now seeming concerned.

"Gohan is this kid really twelve?" Yamcha asked, having recovered from his wooziness. His whole body was still in pain from the exhaustion, but he could see clearly and talk.

"I'm not too sure myself sometimes, he's a genius," Gohan replied. Kramer began to make cracks in the helmet.

"Guys, let's get out of here, I have the blueprints inside my shirt, they won't be able to make more helmets." Goten ordered as he jumped out of the window, breaking it in the process.

"He's also nuts," said Yamcha. As he said this, Gohan began to drag him towards the window. Yamcha was going to protest, but then he thought to himself: What's the point of staying here? They were all liars, and I'd be no match for Kramer and Master Taro. My revenge can wait, but I will have it someday.

Gohan jumped out of the window as well, taking Yamcha with him. As they landed outside, Goten motioned into the forest and Gohan followed, still dragging the beat-up and fatigued Yamcha along. Gohan himself could no longer run after about a minute longer. He was also exhausted and beat up from the fight. He also realized he was starving. Goten realized how tired and friend and brother were and stopped. They were back in the jungle. Goten observed his surroundings. It'll do for the night, I doubt Kramer'll ditch his brother and come looking for us. Gohan and Yamcha should've recovered most of their strength in the morning, no one was injured permanently.

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch, I should be more than enough for wild animals, even with one arm." Goten assured Gohan and Yamcha. The two looked at each other with eyebrows raised. A twelve year old was taking care of them and was their leader. Then they shrugged it off and went to sleep, still a little embarrassed. Goten smiled and sat down against a tree.

"It seems some fresh meat has decided to waltz right into my territory," A mysteriously deep voice said behind Goten. Goten quickly hopped up to his feet and turned around, his one good arm up in a guarding stance. A purple dinosaur-like creature eight feet tall with wings walked into sight. He had small ears pointing upwards sticking off his face. His jaw protruded completely outwards. He seemed to have quite a bit of belly fat. Goten smiled, just another slow, fat monster.

"Come and get me, tubby." Goten said to the thing, sticking his tongue out.

"Bwahaha, I'm a lot faster than I look child!" The creature stated, before flying at Goten and appearing an inch in front of him so fast, Goten was barely aware he'd moved when he saw into the monster's eyes, and could feel it's breath on his face. As Goten looked up at this monster, fear began to develop inside of him. This isn't an ordinary monster. And I'm all by myself with one arm. Goten gulped as he jumped back and took his guarding stance once again. "So you still want to fight? Foolish one, you should've given up." The monster got ready to charge.

Our heroes may have escaped from the dojo, but now there's new troubles in the jungle. What kind of monster is this? Will Goten survive? Will Kramer really not follow them into the forest? Answers next time on Dragonball NG!
