They stopped in a remote village to get gas and Kairi groaned as she got out of the car. She'd decided to ride in the car since she was exhausted and didn't want to waste the energy to run, and she'd figured out she got carsick. It was awful, the motion of the car had made her puke over the side of the car four times in the past five hours they'd been driving.
"Well Goku I've figured out how to beat your sister." said Oolong. "How?" asked Goku. "Well just take her on a car ride and at the end she'll be so sick she can't fight." Kairi shot him a withering glare, and he did indeed wither.
"Get some gas porker so we can get this over with." Oolong went to ask for gas grumbling all the way. Unfortunately for him Kairi caught some of what he was saying and was about to do something about it. Bulma saved him from getting his mouth washed out with soap for cussing within earshot of her brother.
"Hey Kairi want to come shopping with me. It'll be nice after spending all that time in a car." "Fine lets go." But if one more person makes a joke about my carsickness I'm going to put a hole through their face.
As they walked Bulma was casting her sidelong nervous glances like she was steeling herself for something. "What is it? You've been looking at me nervously this whole time like you expect me to blow something up." said Kairi. "Well… um… I just wanted to ask you about yourself, but I wasn't sure how to approach you." she said nervously. Kairi grunted. She'd never really told anybody about herself, but Gohan and she didn't remember that very well.
"Ask whatever you want, and I'll answer the questions as truthfully as I can." said Kairi. "What?" asked Bulma surprised. "You heard me. This is all strictly confidential. If you tell anybody what I'm about to tell you I'll hunt you down and kill you." Bulma gave a nervous nod. "How long have you been taking care of Goku?" "Two years." "I thought you were five years older than him." asked a confused Bulma.
"His… caretaker died two years ago." answered Kairi sadly remembering Gohan. "Were you particularly close to this person." asked Bulma hesitantly, catching Kairi's tone. "Yes, and no." answered Kairi. "What do you mean?" asked Bulma looking confused. "I only knew him for a short time, because I left on a training journey shortly after I met him." answered Kairi.
By this time they'd gotten to the capsule house, and Kairi stayed outside while Bulma went in to get some capsules. Why'd I agree to this? The only person that I ever talked to about myself was Gohan. Bulma came back out looking excited. "Hey, I just got a bunch of really expensive dinocaps for free! These people are really nice to strangers I guess." Kairi just shrugged. She still didn't understand currency.
"Where are you from?" I really don't want to tell her about Planet Vegeta, but I guess I really don't have much of a choice now do I. "Planet Vegeta." "Did you just say you come from another planet?" asked Bulma in awe. "Yes me and Goku come from another planet, and our race is a warrior race called saiyans. I'd rather not talk about my race." Bulma was silent for a time then the questions came spilling out, so Kairi was forced to tell Bulma everything she remembered about her race, and she talked slightly about her training journey.
"What happened to Gohan?" asked Bulma hesitantly. She'd seen the sadness Kairi displayed whenever he was mentioned, and she wanted to avoid provoking her at all costs. "He died." answered Kairi with more than a touch of sadness. "How?" asked Bulma cautiously. "I… I killed him." answered Kairi in a low whisper. Or as good as. "Oh..." answered Bulma quietly. Bulma had a feeling there was more to it than that but she didn't press it and was silent all the way back to the gas station.
They got there and Kairi was completely silent. Oolong caught her mood and didn't say anything to her. "Sis, are you okay." asked a very concerned Goku. "Yeah I'm fine." answered Kairi softly. Goku looked like he wanted to press her but was soon distracted by a cheeseburger Oolong got him. So the little porker is good for something.
Then she heard Bulma ask Goku to beat somebody up which he did. Untouched of course. That's my brother. They called their boss who came in a weird kind of bunny car. Kairi raised an eyebrow at the thing. It was a white furred rabbit with a purple shirt, pant, and shoes under a green robe with a symbol on the front, and other symbols on top of red polka-dots. What is it with people on this planet, and weird clothes?
He walked up to Bulma and offered her a handshake, which she slapped away. He smiled "You touched me." Kairi's eyes widened in astonishment as Bulma turned into a carrot. Well crap. Then the rabbits cronies proceeded to beat Goku who couldn't fight back because the rabbit would eat Bulma. This made Kairi really mad. Fighting her brother was one thing, but beating him when he couldn't fight back was another. And that signaled the execution.
The two had taken a break and were panting, while Goku was laying there battered and bruised. Kairi powered up to her maximum and vanished reappearing in front of one and punching him as hard as she could in the gut. Her fist went straight through and came out his back causing to cough up blood onto her shoulder. The other guy recovered and tried to punch her, but she jumped over his punch and spun kicking him in the side of his face causing his neck to snap and his head to do a three-sixty. She vanished again and reappeared in front of the rabbit. She kicked him in the gut careful only to hit his robe. This caused him to drop Bulma, Kairi grabbed Bulma and flipped backwards.
"Alright rabbit you have five seconds to change her back before I kill you." she said raising her right hand and charging a yellow energy blast. The rabbit just lay there on the ground looking at her and trembling. "5… 4… 3… 2… 1"
"Alright, alright I'll change her back!" screamed the rabbit. He held out his hand, there was a puff of smoke, and Bulma lay there.
"Now I'll just be on my way." said the rabbit looking fearfully at Kairi. "You're not going anywhere." he stopped in his tracks right in front of his car. "But you said-" he began in protest until Kairi stopped him. "I said you had five seconds. You didn't change her back until after I was done counting." She smirked slightly at the fearful expression on his face. He screamed as she launched her energy blast which exploded on contact completely destroying him and his stupid bunny car. "Lets go." she said.
They got back in the car and started driving. As soon as the town was out of sight Goku opened his mouth. "I don't want to hear it Goku." said Kairi. "I gave him a chance and he didn't take advantage of it." Goku closed his mouth and they rode on in silence for several hours.
Kairi was finding it extremely hard to stay awake with her exhaustion. Maybe I should've just cut that rabbit in half. That blast, while still fairly weak, was kind of draining. Suddenly the car stopped and she was thrown forward where her forehead rather forcefully collided with the back seat.
"What's the big idea!. She shouted at Oolong. "You'd better have a good reason for stopping so suddenly or we're having pork chops for dinner!" Oolong gulped fearfully. "She's dragging us along making us risk our lives, so she can wish for a boyfriend, so I stopped in protest." "What's so wrong with wishing for a boyfriend?" yelled Bulma. "We get nothing out of it!" answered Oolong gesturing to Kairi and Goku. "Shut Up!" shouted Kairi interrupting all further argument. All their jabbering was making my head hurt worse than it already does. "I don't care what she wishes for now start driving before I-"
Kairi was cut off as a missile slammed into the side of their car and exploded sending everyone out of the car and onto the road. Kairi slammed into one of the giant mushrooms that dotted the desert landscape, while everybody else was just thrown straight onto solid ground. Kairi got up groaning, and saw some giant machine grab something and jump off.
She decided to ignore the machine and get back to the others. As she walked she noticed stuff was swimming in and out of her vision, she was panting and was seeing spots dancing across her vision. Man, I must be really tired, or I hit that mushroom a lot harder than I thought. She stopped about five yards from the group and leaned against a mushroom trying to catch her breath.
She saw Goku fly off after the thing on the nimbus. "Kairi are you okay?" asked Bulma cautiously. She knew that Kairi hated questions about her well being. "I'm fine." replied Kairi. She knew she wasn't, but she wasn't about to tell Bulma that.
Goku came back and reported that the "monster" as he called it was dead, but there were no dragon balls. I guess whoever was inside the machine got out and left with the Dragon Balls. Goku had revealed he kept a dragon ball, but Bulma was still despairing over the lack of dinocaps.
When Yamcha showed up Kairi immediately powered up an energy blast designed to send him and that strange little cat creature straight to otherworld. "Wait, I just noticed your car blew up so I came to help you out." he said hastily looking at Kairi fearfully. Bulma jumped in the car and pushed herself up against Yamcha, who looked afraid and was letting out little yells which got annoying as they rode onward.
Kairi was seething. These idiots actually believe this guy wants to help us out? He was probably following us waiting for us to gather the dragon balls, so he could take them himself!
After some time the car stopped and everybody jumped out. Well everybody but Kairi, who fell out, because of her carsickness, and exhaustion.
After a small debate which ended with Goku pushing open the door they went into a massive castle with several large domes at the top of all the towers and I the center. The walls were a light brown, and the domes were a dark red, while the door was steel. Inside it was really dark and Kairi just followed Goku, since she was having to concentrate really hard on not falling asleep.
Suddenly a stone column came out of the wall to her right and slammed her into the wall on her left. She kicked the column shattering it. "What the heck was that." she growled angrily. Then more columns came out of the walls. She dodged until she got bored then she yelled "Get down!" everybody ducked as she crouch down slightly crossing her arms across her chest. She concentrated then threw her arms diagonally outwards. Last time it had been an energy field, this time it was a bunch of small energy blasts that destroyed all the stone columns. She had been extremely careful not to put enough energy into that attack to drain her, but to put out just enough to destroy columns.
They continued to walk down the hallway with Goku leading once again, until they came to a dead end and a stone wall slammed down behind them. A screen popped on behind them Kairi turned and raised an eyebrow at the… thing on the screen. It had a blue face, huge ears, a white frill around it's neck, and it was wearing a black and red stripped hat with a star in the middle. "I'm Emperor Pilaf, soon to be ruler of the world." it said with an arrogant smile. "And I want you to give me your dragon ball." "Okay, so I've been trapped in a room by an egotistical blue midget that's trying to intimidate me into giving him a dragon ball. Now I've seen everything." said Kairi. "How dare you!" shouted the little thing.
A hole opened in the roof and a giant metal arm came out and went towards Kairi. Kairi smirked then jumped over it, drew her sword cut the arm in two then wall kicked up the hole.
Kairi came out of the hole into some kind of control room. It had a bunch of monitors, and a small gray table. She landed, sheathed her sword, then turned to look at the little blue midget, then noticed there was a dog in purple ninja clothes with a katana, and a girl in a gray trench coat with a gun aimed at her. Kairi smirked "Give me your dragon ball's and I won't kill you." "Mai, Shu get rid of this vermin for me!" shouted the blue midget.
Kairi's eyes narrowed vermin? That little blue midget is calling me vermin? He's really asking for it. The dog leaped her swinging his katana. She grabbed the blade and threw him into the wall. The girl opened fire with her gun, so Kairi just caught the bullets and dropped them, smirking at the frightened look on the girls face. She looked back at the midget and saw he was trembling in fear, "What's wrong imp? You're looking a little blue in the face, oh wait you always do." she laughed as his face reddened.
She turned, scanning the room. Then she saw the dragon balls on a green display case on a table in the corner. She walked towards it and was about to grab the balls when the floor opened up under her feet. She fell through and ended up in a cell just like the other one only without a screen.
She sighed I really hope he opens up another hole, because I really don't think I can fly out. So she leaned against the wall with her arms crossed in annoyance.
After about ten minutes the door slid open and Bulma, Goku, Yamcha, Oolong, and the cat thing came running in followed closely by a giant rock. As soon as they got close enough the rock stopped and the wall slammed shut again. "Nice job you've made it into another cell." said Kairi sarcastically. Yamcha, Bulma, and the cat thing glared at her, while Oolong gave a fearful gulp. "Hey sis, it's nice to find that you weren't hurt." said Goku. Kairi huffed "Did you think some blue imp would be able to do anything to me?"
"Did you see any dragon balls?!" asked Bulma excitedly. "Yeah he's got the other six." replied Kairi. Everybody looked crestfallen. "YOU HAD ALL THE OTHER DRAGON BALL'S IN YOUR HANDS AND YOU LET THEM GET AWAY!" shrieked Bulma. Kairi winced due to her sensitive saiyan hearing. "I'm very sorry I didn't see the trap door hidden in the floor." retorted Kairi, but Bulma didn't hear her since she was on the floor in tears.
"They've got all seven balls." said Yamcha with a hopeless look in his eyes. Kairi shrugged nonchalantly What's he gonna wish for, to be tall enough to ride the carnival rides? "Can you blast through the wall so we can get out?" asked Bulma who'd completely run out of tears. "Not without passing out. Then I'd be completely useless."
"KaaaMeeeHaaaMeeeHA" and there was a small explosion in the direction of the wall. Kairi whirled and saw Goku facing the wall his hands in the finishing position for the Kamehameha wave.
She felt a sudden burst of pride His first energy wave. Sure it was that dirty old man's technique, but who cares? It wasn't very strong, but then neither is he. It had left a hole big enough for the cat thing, and Oolong to get out of if they turned into bats, so that's what they did.
I think he's going to wish to rule the world, and depending on how the dragon goes about this, that could get in the way of our training. I guess I'll blow it up. "Stand Back." she ordered after Goku finished attempting another Kamehameha wave.
As soon as they were behind her she turned so that if there wasn't a wall the dragon would be on her right bent her left elbow and put her right arm straight out. She raised her power level to the maximum and started to put all of her remaining energy into a flame-colored ball of energy in her palm. The room started to glow with a red light, and when she had put most of her remaining energy into her blast she yelled "Phoenix Ray!" and released her blast. A reddish orange energy beam flew out of her palm completely vaporizing the part of the castle it hit. However it never hit the dragon. The Eternal Dragon vanished right before her blast struck it. Her blast kept going until it struck a mountain in the distance and exploded completely destroying the mountain.
"Remind me never to get on her bad side." said Yamcha nervously. Well you've already failed at that idiot. Everybody ran outside and she was about to follow when suddenly her vision darkened. Crap not now! She stumbled forward a few steps and was almost outside when her vision went completely black and she passed out.
