Smoke billowed genourously from the grounds of the city, screams echoed through the skies of crying and fear. Goku laughed mightily as his one last attack shook the entire city, the damage done as stone and steel fell nosily to the ground. Across his face was a black mask, his eyes the only visible skin on his entire body as he ran clad in black battle cloth. His eyes removed themselves from the retreating citizens and onto the small glowing orb that lay by his feet….a Dragonball.
"How'd you end up here?" The familiar four stars shone unto his eyes, a small smile on his lips as he remembered the past adventures he had taken himself on looking for the troublesome little things. With his attention on the priceless heirloom Goku was soon awaken to attention by the feel of cold steel on the back if his head. He fell forward onto his knees and watched as a young man stood defensively behind him. Goku growled and then watched a frightened woman appear from behind them, to her breast was a small child, no more than four and her stomach was swollen in pregnancy. Clutching his aching head he snatched the metal from the mans hands and threw it across the skies.
"You are lucky I am pitiful….if you want to protect them….GO!" The wife pulled persuasively upon the husbands arms, the mans arm soon coming round her and helping her run. Goku watched them fleeing, making sure she got away safely. That attack bloody hurt but still he would have done the same as that man had that been Chichi and their family.
The last of the damage was complete, upon the hills people still fled. The noise of helicopters landing and planes flying filled the skies as soldier after soldier poured over the horizon. Chuckling deeply Goku watched them fade into the smoke of his defensive attack, taking off whilst they could not see him. The clouds above provided a good cover; with planes above him and people below; it was lucky the clouds today were thick. Silence soon reached his ears and with much fatigue he landed into his home. Chichi waiting with legs crossed patiently. She smiled at his smirking face, a sure sign that he had done as instructed better than asked.
"OHHHH Goku you're so super!" She kissed him hard on the lips; he wrapped his large arms around her slim waist and pulled her closer. "Tomorrow you go for the northern city. That will be the first large blow and will attract a lot of attention. There will be a lot of action against you so I hope you're in the mood for fighting." Goku smirked at her and nodded is head before turning out of the room to shower.
"Good luck babe" Yamcha patted Bulma on the shoulder and watched her climb into her hover car, soon speeding fast into the distance and towards the northern city with her father. A grand science expedition was planned and being the biggest production of technology on the planet the Brief's were expected to give a presentation. Bulma being old enough to help her father now. The journey was a long one and it wasn't until lunch time that they arrived in the cold, busy streets of the northern city.
"So dad you ready for your big speech? We have to make a god impression you know!" Her father chuckled lightly as Bulma adjusted the bow of his suit. Arm in arm they walked into the large Victorian building. Bulma took her place as her father spoke and listened intently with a face of pure pride on her face, everyone knew who she was and she knew a lot of the guys in here were staring at more than her face but still she wouldn't complain it was something else to brag about.
Speech after speech, presentation after project followed on for hours, Bulma's eye never taking off the subject on the stage. There had been a few good scientists up so far and capsule Corp was looking for a few new workers, keeping her eyes and mind open she had picked out one or two who would be perfectly suitable for the jobs needed. Small roles of thunder sang in the background noise after they filtered through the silent skies surrounding the horizon. As the presentations went on the sound got louder, creeping closer and closer ever so slowly. By the time everything was done and Champagne filled the hands of the hall the thunder was almost above them.
"Strange we have no rain" Bulma turned her head to a small elderly scientist, somewhat similar to the looks of Roshi. Bulma made a small noise as she moved over to the windows, opening she leaned her head. The old man was right there was no rain but there was something else.
"MY KANI WHAT IS GOING ON!" Silence soon filled the hall and hundreds of people ran to the windows and leaned out to find the cit behind their building bellowing with smoke, the sky red with the reflection of giant fires that burnt with hell amongst the rubble. Bulma backed away from the small gap and pulled out her phone, dialling Yamcha's number and screaming the problem down the line…he was soon on his way to help.
"If you nosy bastards had kept your wits about you, you might have seen me use the back door!" Bulma smiled and turned around expecting the voice to match the figure she believed it to belong to…instead she found a tall, muscular figure, masked and laughing as he threw two unconscious guards into the wall. Some gasped whilst others cried, Bulma stood tall and walked forward.
"Listen here buster! I've put up with scarier people than you and I should have you know that the Son Goku, strongest fighter on this entire planet is a close friend of mine and could kiss your puny little arse in two second flat" Quiet proud of her self Bulma stomped her foot down and huffed, her smirk vanishing when the attacker began to laugh loudly.
"Believe me love, Son Goku won't help you!" Bulma screwed her face up in anger and walked forward more, stamping her heels.
"If you knew Son Goku you wouldn't under-estimate him! Lay one finger on anyone in here and I'll make sure he sees you have no fingers left." The guy looked at her, arms by his side before his eyes clasped down in anger and a loud scream echoed through the room. Turning around Bulma watched as more people leant down to tend to the young man whose body had been afflicted with the laser beam the attacker had released with his finger. The attackers hand came out and struck Bulma's face, her small body clearing the room and hitting the wall. Huffing himself he walked around the room, smirking beneath his mask at the cowering humans in the corner of the room as Bulma tended to her wounds and helped herself up. Her father was by her side begging her to stay down but she wouldn't and off she went, Goku's loud sigh echoing through the room as he turned around to face her sharp tongue.
"Back down Bulma, you'll only get hurt more!" Bulma stood on her spot and glared daggers at him, all she had to do was hold him off a few hours by that time Yamcha could get here with Krillen and Tien and all would be over for this guy…hopefully he would flee and her good little Goku would step into find him and win the battle for good and righteousness. Not that she had a large hope of holding him off that long, she wasn't that strong but what she lacked in bron she made up for in brains.
"I tell you what…I'll give you a game. If you win you can do whatever you want but if I win then you have to vanish from the face of this planet and never show yourself again?" Her attacker stood staring at her, his eyes brows raised in sarcastic curiosity and soon a small chuckle met her ears. She growled.
"I don't think a game with you would be half as fun as blowing this place to pieces would be. Plus you know full well you'll challenge me to Chess or some other mega brain game and you being little miss smart arse would win." Bulma let her jaw drop." I'm not stupid!" Sulking she walked back over to the others and plonked herself on the floor, soon dust filled the room and she found every last invention a small pile of shrapnel and dust on the floor. His laugh was loud and full and yet it didn't cover the groans and cries of a lost work from her comrades. The hole in the wall extended as plaster unable to stay cling on fell down, the attacker jumping quickly down the street as Bulma let the tears fall. One tear for each blast the man sent into the buildings around her. Explosion after explosion came and came and yet there was nothing more she could do.
Bulma wept into the chest of her friend and lover, Krillen had escorted the other scientists to a safer place with many other people. Many other thousand people, walking back with a confused face much like his best friends Krillen joined in the conversation with the others, he too listening intently to Bulma's account of events. She was worried for everyone, every last person in the city.
"To be honest, judging y the numbers at the evacuation/refuge centres, it doesn't look like he is killing that many people." Roshi coughed as Bulma looked somewhat happier.
"Well of course he isn't…You've been watching the news lately young Krillen. This man, whoever he is after world domination, the more he kills the less he has to rule." Roshi watched the shadowy figure fight in the distance, a sad frown upon his face. "He's afflicted havoc these passed few weeks and now, this is the first blow of the conquest plot."
"Ah man. Where's that kid when you need him!" Bulma sighed and nodded in agreement with her boyfriend. Roshi sighed and walked forward, his stick banging against the floor in rhythm with his footsteps.
"Lets go find him shall we" Standing to alert everyone followed the old master, slightly confused as to why he was in fact walking away from the car but all kept quiet in case this was on purpose and they seemed stupid in not catching on. They kept walking, them coming closer and closer to the attacker. Bulma began to whimper and clutched onto Yamcha whilst all the others prepared to fight. The attackers head spun round and with arms crossed against his muscular chest he watched them walk towards him. He chuckled lightly as Yamcha, Krillen and Tien made a triangle around him in their stances.
Within seconds fists flew, energy blasts collided and bodies were thrown around. Always in the centre was the attacker, holding his own perfectly well as each attack hit on him either did little damage or was blocked into another of their team members. Yamcha lay on the floor a few feet away, pulling himself up when Bulma ran to him. Unnoticed he felt the mask slip off his face. He had his back turned to those surrounding him. But he still heard them gasp. And so to enlighten their shock and his pleasure he span round with a happy smile on his face.
"GOKU! It can't be…..this has to be a trick ….master?" Goku had his hands folded in front of him, inspecting his finger nails with an evil smirk upon his face. Master Roshi watched on with sad and angry eyes. Sad at his loss and angry at his betrayal. Goku had always been a good boy, at the tournament, even camping he had been a god kind boy and now here he was, destroying things, killing…all for something he had once fought to stop. Of course there had always been this risk, that one day Goku would be drawn over to the other side. But he had expected a slow and gradual change they would have been able to slow or stop…not this sudden.
"Its no trick Krillen my boy. That is indeed Goku" All warriors sank out of their stances, staring at the one they once called friend. "What are you thinking Goku? Where is this going to take you? Having to fight your friends, what about your family, what of Gohan my boy. What would he think to all this stupidity?"
"Its Chichi isn't it?" Goku looked over, still silent. Krillen stood with wide eyes at Goku, sinking to the ground with crossed legs slowly. "Chichi put you up to this? I could tell the minute you said you two were together that something was wrong with you! The way you looked at us, your smile…it was al wrong!" Goku laughed lightly and too sat upon the floor.
"Hey Kid when I told you all them years back that you had to give your girlfriends whatever they asked for….that does have it's limits mate"
"I'm not doing this because she asked me! I'm doing this because I want to and I don't car what you or Roshi, Kami or Grandpa Think! I'm going to do this so move out of my way!" They all moved to the side, letting Goku walk past slowly and into the air.
"Goku" Goku stopped mid- air and looked at Roshi "You can walk away now…but rest assured my boy, we'll be back to stop you!"
