Scene 6: in which Goku plays Cassandra's heir

As it turned out, the battle was a lot less spectacular.

Still twitching from Goku's declaration, Sanzo turned and shot the Unexpected Development until it looked vaguely like a sewer grate, riddled with neat lines of holes from Sanzo's Infini-Bullet Magical Transforming Big-Bad Banishing Gun, which was occasionally a revolver, just like Hakuryuu was occasionally a jeep.

The Unexpected Development, which had just opened its mouth to begin its dramatic opening speech that would contain name, rank, purpose/quest/need for vengeance, utterly uninteresting history and size of underwear, collapsed with a faintly bewildered gurgle. The thunderous crash as it fell made all their ears ring.

And as it fell, one giant clawed hand caught Goku rather solidly about the midsection. Somehow, it managed to rip into a heretic who could normally take being beaten up by gods in his stride. The blood splushed out as Goku collapsed, and Hakkai cried out in alarm as he ran to heal Goku, while Gojyo cursed. Sanzo just stood there, in shock at seeing something he couldn't quite accept.

He was going to have to get Goku tested for precog abilities.

Either that, or he'd have to investigate that blasted fanfiction.
