AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry it's been so long. I lost the motivation to work on this story, but lately, I have wanted to get back into the writing business and try to finish what I start about 3 years ago. I doubt I will on ZAT: The Dawn of Skriker ever again b/c it isn't my universe, but I would rather just work on this story for now. Well, time to start. Hope you enjoy this new installment.

Chapter 6: The Revealing

At Master Roshi's place, Chi-Chi, Choatzu, and Roshi stood puzzled at the events going on in the television. Chi-Chi could not believe what she saw. A young boy that looked a lot like her Gohan was running around blasting and killing innocents. Tein and Yamcha had decided to fly over and see what was wrong. She just hoped that they would be okay.

Tein looked at the destruction of the small fast-food joint. The place was a mess, blood laid everywhere. Yamcha closed his eyes and looked away.

"Geez." Yamcha said aloud. "How could Gohan do this, to these innocent people?"

"Yeah." Tein replied. "It's not like Gohan, not like him at all. But, what I would like to know is why."

Yamcha looked around. Then, he snapped. "Hey, Tein! I think I feel his power level down south! We must chase him!"

Tein just looked. "I can't feel anything Yamcha. It must be-… Wait! I feel it too. Yeah… That's Gohan alright. Let's go."

Tein and Yamcha took off, straight after the power level.

Hunter sat in the midst of the closed Capsule Corp. Bulma was downstairs giving little Trunks his afternoon snack.

They got it good right now. They have no idea what is going on right now though. I thought, just for a second, that I could feel Gohan killing a lot of people. I don't know what to make of this, but-

Hunter's train of thought was cut off when he heard Scorpion make another blast of that mouth of his. It shocked Hunter only for a bit to see him getting worked up over a silly card game with the janitor, that he was loosing!

"Oh come on!" Scorpion blasted. "This is not fair, do you have an ace up your sleeve, or maybe it's a king?" Scorpion questioned.

The janitor shook his head. He then lifted his sleeves to show no tricks, or aces had been slipped up there. Scorpion couldn't stand loosing money, but then again, he was never that good at poker. He talks a big game, but that's what he mainly does is talk, talk, talk, oh, and he talks! He has the smartest, mouthiest, noisiest mouth of all the Z-fighters, and pretty much targets the emotional area when they are fighting. They fight with fists while he fights with words, and in his mouth, those words can really hurt.

Scorpion just kept fussing. It was getting to Hunter's nerves. There he was, trying to think, and Scorpion, as usual, won't shut up! Then, Hunter stood up.

"You know what." Hunter said. Scorpion and the janitor looked at him. "I am going downstairs, maybe Bulma, or even more, Vegeta, will allow me to think… in peace!"

"Aw, come on, Hunter." The ignorant machine said. "Don't be such a prune and come play some poker with us."

"Can't you see things are going on right now, and I want to figure this out."

"Is it the stuff with the little runt that got us in trouble the other day with Goku. Those days were hell, and right now, I want to enjoy this little session of "Beat your best buddy in a game of poker!" What do ya say?" Scorpion asked, swinging that fist of his to emphasize that annoying line of his.

Hunter's nerves pulsed a little to show he was getting annoyed. With a dull look on his face, he turned around and walked toward the door. "Oh yeah. I am definatly leaving. See you in a few…"

"Few what? Minutes, hours… seconds!"

"Maybe 3."

"Three what!"

"Possibly 5."

"Five what!"

By getting his revenge, Hunter slipped into Bulma's underground dwelling beneath Capsule corp. As Hunter walked down, the sound of Scorpion's questioning soon stopped, and he reached another door, which was locked. Hunter sighed and knocked on the door.

"Vegeta! Can you get that for me! My hands are kinda full!" Bulma said from across the house.

"Just get Goten to open it, Vegeta!" Hunter advised.

Vegeta heard that line and motioned for Goten to get it for him. Vegeta was always selfish like that. Goten opened the door and Hunter stepped in.

"It's good to finally just see you away from Kakkorates place and doing something useful. What do you want boy…" Vegeta said to Hunter.

Hunter just looked at him. "I've been needing a place to properly think about what's been going on lately. The energy signals I have been feeling aren't in their places, something's wrong. And it's happening right now. It's too noisy upstairs to think because of Scorpy and the janitor, well… Scorpion at the most."

Vegeta just nodded his head, taking the time to listen to a saiyan that doesn't act like Goku, but rather focuses on getting the task at hand done in the most obscure manner.

"Well, Trunks and Goten are running all over the place right now, but I am used to it."

"They aren't as loud as Scorpion up there, and he's only one person."

"My room should be silent enough. Go in there and think."

Don't you mean yours and your wife's room? Hunter thought. "Sure, but I'll be sitting on the desk."

"Don't touch anything that you shouldn't."

"You mean like snooping in drawers. Come on Vegeta, I am a fighter, and a thinker. I have no business, not to mention meaning to do anything so stupid."

"Just go and leave me to my peace."

"What ever, Vegeta. See ya in a bit." Hunter waved off.

Vegeta just sat there, not knowing what to make of the things he has been feeling too.

A man with dark hair walked into a jewelry store. He had blue eyes and wore a brown overcoat. He was smiling some sort of smile that told you, "I can handle everything thrown at me". He walked to some counters and looked at some jewelry. He smirked a bit when he found one he liked.

"Hey, counter girl! How much for this little trinket right here?"

"Oh, that…" the girl said. "That is $100, sir. Why, you like it?"

Just look at the aero dynamics on this thing. I bet this thing could travel 55 mph straight to the kid, Bobby's face if I throw it just right… That'll stop his little motor bike traveling. Maybe I should've gotten a house in the forest or something. "Hmm. $100, you say. How much would it hurt to knock off one of those zeroes, hmm?"

"Well, I can lower it by about $19, but that's about it." The girl replied.

Android 17 just looked at her. "How about two zeroes."

"Then we would be the ones loosing the money."

"How about 3?"

"There's only 2 zeroes on it sir! I can only lower it by 19 dollars!"

"How about you lay off the one?"

"Okay!"

17 grabbed it and walked out. "Thanks."

Then the girl had almost realized what just happened. "Hey, wait. Wait! Ohhhhh… man. He tricked me."

17 walked out the store feeling oh so devious. He could get anything he wanted, aslong as it was a stupid counter person running the shop. He had gotten used to doing this to all sorts of people. "Ahh… 17, you've done it again! Thanks to my brilliant mind, I have won again! Take that George Washington!" He tossed the trinket into the air, and then swiped back in his hand as it flew down. He then stuffed it into his pocket and walked down the streets. Next thing he knew, he saw another thing he liked. A streaky, red viper ran up to the stop light and waited for the light to go green. 17 liked what he saw. Streaky leather seats, fine spinner wheels, a nice grove finish to the front, and mean ass looking lights, with a smart bumper sticker that said "Suck on it." 17 just looked at the woman in the car. He smirked. Time to get another thing I could use.

He walked up to woman and put his hand on the car. The woman looked and saw 17. "Hey, jerk. Get off my car."

"I am sorry. I just couldn't help but get a closer look at those dashing good looks of yours." 17 said to her with a smirk. He then put a little bit of his hair behind his ear to let the woman get a better look at his face. The woman blushed a bit.

"You, really think I am good looking." She asked.

"Well, yeah. How could anyone not. Not to mention these fine wheels look just oh so… what's the word, sexy." 17 said, feeling the door of the car.

"Oh, well, thank you. It costed nearly a fortune." The woman replied with a chuckle.

17 admired the car. He wanted it, he had to have it. "Hey, hows about letting me drive this bad boy. So I can get a more, better look at you as the wind blows you away…"

The woman looked down. She knew, or at least thought he was admiring her legs. She unbuckled and scooted over into the passenger seat. "Come on then."

17 hopped into the car and his eyes became ecstatic as he sat in the fine leather seat. His face showed excitement as he put his hands on the wheel and admired the car he was in. He had to get it now. But one thing stood in his way… the stupid girl, again! He looked straight. He had to figure something out, but he couldn't do it in front of all these people. Then, 17 smiled. He knew how to get this one to properly cooperate. She seems to be the kind to have sex on the first date, meaning she won't mind the things I can ask just to get things right. Then, me and you… 17 felt the dashboard… can be all alone! With no one to get in our way! 17 looked at the woman, then he looked at her legs.

He smiled. "How about we go, some place, a bit more private." He moved his waist a bit and the woman had caught about what he meant. She smiled a naughty smile.

"Sure, what ever you want, handsome." The woman replied. She chuckled.

17 started the engine. "Wow! Just feel this baby purr! Oh…" He put his cheek against the wheel. "You're a very bad girl, aren't you…"

"Yes I am." The woman. The woman exposed a bit of her leg.

Now, to test this bad boy out! 17 put the engine in full throttle and put the pedal to the metal as he blasted him and his little toy out into the road. The car ran so fast, 17 became even more ecstatic. His black hair rushed into the wind, and he closed his eyes to admire it. He then opened them back up.

"Oh, wow, boy, I can tell you and me are going to have some fun." the woman said.

"Yeah…" 17 said. "Me and you are going to have some great fun." 17 said and sped off to a more secluded area. Soon, cars could not be seen and they drove to a dirt road. It seemed like the kind of area teenagers would go to have some sexual pleasures given to them. The woman then got on top of 17.

"Okay, you ready?" the woman asked in a very seductive way.

17 then frowned. "Not in my car… I mean the car!"

The woman then smiled a bit. "Okay, what ever you say. How about I get a blanket out the back and we can do it there?"

17 smiled a big one. "Yes, you go and do that, and I will just sit here while you get things ready."

The woman got out.

"Don't forget to close the car door, I don't think she likes leaving it open." 17 said in a falsely seductive way.

The woman closed it and headed to the trunk. When she was about to open it, 17 put the car in reverse and stomped hard on the gas pedal. He ran over the woman like she was yesterday's trash. He continued to go until the woman was in front of him. He swung the car around. The woman got up.

"You… you insolent little brat! Do you have any idea on what you missed out on! I am the greatest feeling you will ever get!" the woman screamed at him.

"No, this…" 17 felt the dashboard. "This, IS the greatest feeling I will get. Now get away from my car, you bitch!"

The woman stood, astounded and shocked! "That, is MY car! Now get out of it!"

"A slut like yourself doesn't deserve such beauty like this!"

"Oh, and a thief like yourself does?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you a proper cleaning when we get home." 17 looked in front of him and sped off.

"Hey! Get back here!" The woman ran and threw a shoe in his direction. She had just been robbed of her car.

17 smirked. "Like I said, I can get anything I want, aslong as it is a stupid girl running the store… Hahahaha!" 17 continued to laugh as he sped down the horizon.

Tein and Yamcha hovered over the city. They looked around for anything suspicious.

"Tein… you see anything?" Yamcha said.

"Nope, nothing." Tein replied. "I can't feel him either."

"He might have figured out we were coming. Darn… we have to look harder." Yamcha replied.

Tein just looked around. "We might need help. How about I go and get-"

"Tein! Look! I feel something! It's, Gohan!"

Then out of nowhere, a retale store was blew up into pieces. Smoke and debris flew everywhere.

"Yeah, Yamcha, we found him. Help can wait. Let's go." And with that, Tein and Yamcha flew down to meet their foe.
