Chapter 6 – Cunning plan
Bulma made her way through the crowd as she reached the ring she noticed how the dead Spaniard was being carried out by two men, as she spotted the two women, she walked to them. Hasky noticed someone approaching and glanced at Bulma.
"So did you enjoy the fight?" Hasky asked, and smiled cunningly, Bulma expression showed rage and bitterness.
"You crazy bitch! Why did you shoot the man in the back!?" Bulma said while clenching her teeth and fists.
"Watch your tongue or you might end up the same way!" Hasky fired back.
"I would reconsider that If I were you… " Goku added while crossing his arms, he stood inches behind Bulma and had a calm and fearless expression on his face.
"There is no need for us to argue like this." Mai added looking concerned.
"Then you better have a good explanation." Bulma crossed her arms and waited impatiently.
"Look almost all of our contestants are criminals, Hasky gets them out of prison and offers them an opportunity to fight for their freedom." Bulma looked surprised at Mai's statement.
"And people in this town know it…" Hasky added.
"That's why the town was so empty when we arrived?" Bulma turned to Goku who nodded in response.
"Look I know this might sound strange, but Fernando Gonzales deserved his fate." Mai said casually.
"He was a child molester!" Hasky added abruptly.
"Oh Kami, how did we end up in this mess?" Bulma was certainly not happy.
"No worries Bulma I won't kill them I'll only defeat them." Goku placed his hand gently on Bulma shoulder. She looked over her shoulder and smiled to him.
"But the crowd wants to see justice." Mai added.
"I don't care! Goku is not carved out for killing, you may do whatever you want to with those criminals after they fight Goku, but if I see one more death in ring while Goku is fighting I am going to alter our deal and just take the dragon balls. " Bulma said and walked away.
"Good thing she doesn't know about our fighter, haha!" Hasky added while taking a seat together with Mai by her side.
"Do you really think that our fighter stands a chance against Goku?" Mai looked concerned at Hasky. Hasky placed a hand on her shoulder and smirked.
"Don't worry last time I checked up on him I had to wear a gasmask or else I would have fainted." Hasky was confident enough, but Mai still had some doubts.
"Argh! I hate that blond witch! Remember the time she ruined our day at the amusement park!" Bulma muttered while walking out of the arena, Goku followed her all the way, even into the women's restroom.
"Goku get out of here!" She yelled at him, he only nodded and waited outside for her. He could hear the crowd rejoice as a new battle had begun, but he did not want to leave Bulma behind and waited patiently, when she came out she continued to walk away from the arena, as she spotted the exit door she quickly ran out in the open, taking a deep breath when she was finally out of the hell hole.
"What do we do now?" Goku asked while he sat on a bench nearby, they were in the middle of a park, and it became apparent to Bulma that the underground arena had been located underneath this park. It was dark and only the stars were illuminating with light that made it visible to walk outside at the time. She sat next to Goku noticing a newspaper lying on the ground, she picked it up and notice the headlines "Prison break, leaves investigators clueless!" Bulma only shook her head by reading it and threw it away, she noticed Goku leaning back and having his hand behind his neck and closed eyes, he was seemingly trying to rest.
"Everything alright Goku?" She asked while glazing at him with a small concerned expression on her beautiful face.
"Yeah... why?" He turned his gaze and gave her a surprised look.
"You just seem too calm." She looked away trying to find the words to say to him.
"You want this back?" Goku moved closer to her, when she looked at him she noticed him holding his hand out to her, and the round ring lying on his palm.
"Yeah, thanks… Its not like we'll need it anymore since you blew our cover!" She snatched the ring and cramped it in her purse, Goku looked embarrassed and blushed, she was right he blew their cover it was a fact that he could not run away from.
"I'm sorry Bulma it's just sometimes I…" She interrupted him.
"Sometimes you don't think!" This had surprised Goku and he looked down in shame resting his elbows on his thighs he lowered his stature, Bulma's irritated expression suddenly changed into a more compassionate one, she didn't want to hurt him. 'Oh great now look what I've done!' she thought and placed a gentle stroke on his wide back; he glanced at her with a sad expression, and rose from his seat.
"I'm sorry Bulma… I'll make it up to you I promise! I will win this tournament whatever the cost." He raised and clenched one fist showing in to Bulma, pure determination in his eyes; he then went inside again, Bulma sat there shocked by what she just had done. She had blamed him for everything, although she didn't want it she knew that she was in a bad mood. She ran after him but when she finally arrived at the scene she noticed another fight taking place, it was between Goku and a big guy. She saw how Goku fought differently than before, he was more aggressive and approached his opponent more swiftly delivering blows after blows, his punching speed became so intense that his arms were not visible during the exchange, Goku's opponent could only feel how the punches bruised him, and then came the final blow, Goku jumped up and delivered a knife hand attack, when he hit his opponent in the neck he immediately fell to the ground paralyzed and incapable of continuing.
"The winner is Goku!" Hasky pronounced and the crowd went berserk.
"Only one fight remaining and you will be qualifying for the semi finals tomorrow." Hasky said to Goku while some men bore the defeated contester on a stretcher.
"What is to become of my opponent?" Goku asked eagerly Hasky rolled with her eyes.
"A quick shot to the head." She added while making room for the next battle that was about to take place, Hasky took Goku by the hand and guided him where she and Mai were sitting, as he sat beside Hasky he spotted Bulma standing in upper tier, he waved to her signaling that he wanted her to sit right next to him, but she only shook her head and went out again, as Goku was about to follow, Hasky placed her gentle hand on his shoulder, and showed her big puppy eyes to him, Goku decided to stay and watch the next fight. Bulma was racing to the hotel she wasn't interested in the blood spilling battles nor Goku's efforts to make it up to her by being a part of them, she wanted to run away from it all, not even in her wildest dreams had she expected such macabre display just to get to the dragon balls, were they really that important? She knew that she had something in mind when she embarked on the dragon ball hunt, but the time she spent with Goku seemed almost to compensate for it, she found herself not knowing what she really was after, were it the dragon ball, or something else…
'I need to relax!' Her mind screamed as she unlocked door to her suite, she turned on the light and went into the bathroom, she spotted a bathtub and made up her mind, she wanted to relax and needed a bubble bath. Meanwhile the bloody fights continued and to Goku's surprise he found Tao Pai Pai slaughtering his opponents, he wanted to intervene, but he thought of what the chances would be for his disqualification if he acted out what his heart was telling him to, so he stayed put against his better judgment until it was his time to confront one more opponent before qualifying for the semi finals. Hasky brought the microphone closer to her lips and announced one more fight for the night.
"Tonight's final fight will be between Goku and Hulla Hulla Hop!" Goku stepped up and noticed a figure approaching his opponent was not what he had expected a short man dressed in a purple Gi.
"Hulla Hulla Hop?" Goku asked and looked down at the small fighter.
"Yes that is my name, and you must be Goku, nice to meet you." The small fighter said and looked up at Goku who was twice as tall. As the bell rang the fight was on, the small warrior leaped in the air and swung his one leg down on Goku's neck, but Goku noticed this attempt and blocked it with his forehand, Goku then delivered a swift punch with his non occupied arm and hit the small warrior in the stomach sending him flying back and landing roughly on the concrete floor. Hulla Hulla Hop regained his stature and fighting stance, blood trailed down his mouth. What surprised Goku was that his opponent was smirking in spite of the fact that he had received a well placed fist in the stomach. Goku dropped his arms to his sides, not bothering to concentrate on his battle stance, surprising the crowd.
"I can sense you are a strong fighter. I also sense that you are no criminal?" Goku spoke with a calmness unseen in the ring, others could only admire his mental focus.
"That is correct, I am no criminal." The short man proclaimed also abandoning his fighting stance.
"I come from a small village, and seek honor by fighting strong opponents." Goku's eyes widened as he heard this.
"I didn't expect to find noble warriors in this tournament!" Goku said and giggled sheepishly, Hulla Hulla Hop grinned in return.
"I know… I also know that you are the winner of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai." Hulla Hulla Hop said and bowed politely to Goku who was caught off guard.
"And now I will defeat you!" The short man launched himself at Goku who quickly made a back flip and landed on his feet only to be confronted with an assault of a quick pair of hands trying to hit him, he quickly and swiftly evaded the punches and crouched down rolling underneath his opponent who was in mid air to reach Goku's height. Goku quickly balanced his weight on his hands and kicked his opponent with both feet, sending the short man flying up almost touching the roof of the arena, as Goku regained his balanced and stood up looking up and awaiting his opponent to come down he was surprised to find that his opponent was no were to be seen. Quickly Hulla Hulla Hop reappeared behind Goku and delivered a series of powerful round house cannon kicks impacting the back of Goku's neck and forcing Goku to leap forwards landing on his knees. 'No way! This guy is quite fast and strong!' Goku thought while tasting the first drops of blood dripping down his nose. Goku wiped the blood away with the back of his hand and stood up not facing his opponent who was standing behind him.
"I know that my appearance can seem a bit unworthy, but I am powerful enough to defeat you Goku." The short man proclaimed, Goku only smirked at this and turned around to face his opponent.
"Hulla Hulla Hop you surprised me! I would say you've won the first round, but now its time for round two!" Goku spread his legs, evening the balance on his feet to make it easier to move, he raised his muscular arms and clenched his fist, taking a step forward he pulled a punch, but the short warrior evaded it and moved to the other end of the round ring, then Goku moved quickly and appeared behind his opponent grabbing his leg and throwing him into the hard concrete ground, as Hulla Hulla Hop hit he shattered the concrete underneath him, sending small flying projectiles scattering all around the ring. The small warrior smirked and got up on his feet, shaking and looking around to find Goku standing in front of him with arms crossed.
"You are indeed a great master in the arts of fighting." The words escaped Hulla Hulla Hop's parting lips before he fell to his knees, and began to chough blood up which splashed on the ground, Goku took a few steps towards the defeated warrior.
"And you have shown your great potential, you are a great fighter!" Goku said and smiled to Hulla Hulla Hop before he offering a hand and helping him to stand up, it was a true display of honorable fighting something the crowd enjoyed immensely. Tao Pai Pai observed the fight and was not happy about the result.
'That midget didn't even prove to be a challenge for Goku! I will have to come up with something tomorrow if I am to be victories…' Tao Pai Pai began to laugh manically and said: "I will cut you up Goku!" The mercenary had an old score to settle with our hero, and he was sure that this time it would succeed. As the arena was getting empty and people were heading back to their homes, Mai and Hasky approached Goku who also was about to make his way out.
"Where are you going sweetie?" Hasky's voice captured Goku's attention.
"Huh?" Goku turned around and was greeted by the two beautiful women.
"You were the star of the show Goku…" Hasky cam closer and her voice was more tender and was soothing Goku, she slowly made her way around him and leaned against him pressing her soft lips on the back of his neck, while at the same time encircling her arms around his neck. Mai saw Goku's surprised expression and noticed his blushing.
"I think Hasky has learned to like you Goku?" Goku's eyes widened when he heard her say this.
"Eh? She likes me?" He asked nervously and felt how Hasky was trailing kisses down his neck, he froze at her touch it was relaxing and he felt his heart beat go faster.
"Yes Goku… I like you very much you have grown up to be such a handsome boy." Hasky whispered in his ear and let her tongue caress his jawline, before nibbling on his ear, she then rested her head against his neck, he could feel her warm breath hot against his skin, and he couldn't stop blushing, he found himself powerless.
"Goku we are going to throw a party tonight at the hotel I would like you to join us." Mai said and smiled to Goku.
"Come on Goku its going to be fun." Hasky took his hand and they made their way to the same hotel he and Bulma were staying at so our hero felt comfortable enough when he entered the hotel and found the first floor fool of people who were dancing or talking, the trance music was loud and Goku noticed his senses decrease as he was lead to a bar, Hasky ordered some cocktails and then took Goku and lead him to a big couch Goku sat and looked around with widened eyes, he had never been to a party before, Hasky had told him to stay put until she returned with their drinks. Bulma was also attending and was dressed in a beautiful and sexy blue multi strap party dress that went down to her knees, she had talked to some people and had found out that Goku had qualified for the semi finals and wanted to congratulate him, her hair was set up in a chignon stylish way and she was drawing the looks of other men, but she didn't pay attention to them she needed to find Goku, she finally spotted him sitting there all alone, when he saw her he quickly got in a better mood and smiled brightly. He stood up and received her warm embrace, she was showing obvious fondness. As she gently pushed herself away from him a faint scent captured her attention, it was a scent Goku never had on him, and as she saw Hasky approaching she had seen through it, not that she knew Goku 100 percent, but she was aware that Hasky had shown some I interest in him.
"So Bulma you care to join us?" Hasky added abruptly while placing the drinks on the table beside the couch, she gave Goku a glass filled with a yellowish liquid, Goku was about to taste, before Bulma intervened.
"Goku I didn't know you liked to drink?" Goku's eyes widened at her remark. Not knowing what she was implying he thought briefly about it. 'I like to drink? I'm thirsty from all of the fighting?'
"Ehehe! Sure Bulma nothing better after a fight." He smiled to her innocently; she lifted one her hand to her throat and watched in amazement as Goku emptied the glass.
"Mm… This has a funny taste?" He added and laughed sheepishly.
"You want more?" Hasky asked and smirked.
"Sure why not, I'm really thirsty." Goku said and placed the now empty glass on the table.
"Great, I'll be right back with some more!" Hasky left for the bar once more. Bulma shook with her head, she didn't believe it, Goku was drinking alcohol, but did he know it?
"Goku I just wanted to congratulate…" But Goku didn't let her finish.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you I've made it to the semi finals!" He said cheerfully, she placed her hands on her hips and gave him an inquisitive look that was until Hasky leaned up against Goku and poured some of the liquor in her mouth before covering Goku's mouth with hers, letting him taste the flavor together with her, Bulma was bitterly surprised by this and took a step back. Hasky pushed Goku onto the couch, as he fell on his back she landed on him and pressed her soft lips against his, Goku's eyes widened, he was surprised as well, but didn't know what to do. 'Is this some kind of gesture?' He thought. Bulma could not bear the sight and left right away with a disappointed expression on her face. 'I don't approve this! I mean Chi-Chi would never approve this!' her mind screamed, she walked into her suite with a temper, she kicked her blue high-heeled shoes away not bothering where they would land and let herself fall on the bed, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to go back there and rescue Goku from being exposed to all of the sexuality that was going on the first floor, she knew those parties too well, and Goku did not fit into the picture, but she also knew that it was not her place to prevent Goku from maturing emotionally, and maybe this wild party was what was needed, she slipped into her nightgown and brushed her teeth before calling it the day. Meanwhile Hasky was playing with our hero, she had poured many drinks into him, but still he was going strong, she dipped her tongue inside his parting lips and caressed his tongue, he was a horrible kisser she thought, but he was awfully cute. Goku was bewildered by all the attention he had gotten, and didn't know what to do, since Hasky was so crafty with her tongue and hands that ran up and down his back and chest. He pulled away just to get some air, she was killing him.
"What's wrong Goku aren't you comfortable?" She asked and blushed slightly before assaulting his mouth with hers.
Bulma could hear the loud music echoing throughout the hotel, she was wondering what Goku was doing down there with the enemy. He was naïve, but she felt stupid for not being down there with him, protecting him against any harm, but she was exhausted and knew that Goku was able enough to fend for himself, she could hear the doorknob turn and a small light which had illuminated the hallway had shone into the room although she couldn't see who was entering.
"Goku… Is that you?" She asked while lifting her upper body and holding on to the silky bed cover, she looked at the clock placed on the nightstand beside the bed, it was almost 03.00 AM. As the figure approached it stumbled and landed on the bed, Bulma moaned loudly and jumped off the bed, when she turned on the light she noticed a VERY drunk Goku slumbering face down on the bed, she frowned bitterly and exclaimed.
"Goku you scared me!" She quickly walked to the door and shot it. She was speechless and had never seen Goku wasted before, she came closer to him and tapped him on the back, but he didn't respond, her eyes widened and she shook him violently, finally he responded by turning to one side muttering something that didn't make much sense.
"Oh no…" Bulma bit her nails for a moment, and thought about the possibilities, and came across an interesting idea. She went into the bathroom and started the cold water she then returned to Goku and tried to lift him up, but he was simply too heavy, so she pushed him off the edge of the bed and he landed on the floor slumbering like nothing had happened, she took a hold of his shoes and pulled with all of her strength only to find herself fall to the ground on her behind, holding both of his sneakers. She then tried another tactic; she raised his legs keeping his ankles under her arms pulling with everything she got, she finally managed to slowly drag him to the bathtub, she then let go of his feet and took a hold of his arm stretching it out and placing it around her shoulder, while trying lift him up, she held his waist with the other hand and pulled him over the edge, where he finally slid down into the cold water.
"Woah!" Goku woke up from the freezing water that surrounded him, he looked up at Bulma who crossed her arms and had a nasty expression on her face, and that was the one Goku knew she would show before she would go berserk on him.
"Ehehe!" Goku laughed sheepishly while awaiting the blow from Bulma.
"Goku you better get some rest, you'll have a big fight tomorrow." She said and left him there. Goku was surprised by her calm reaction. In the morning Bulma was ready, she had completed all of her morning routines, had dressed up, and eaten breakfast, but she had not seen Goku, so she took a sneak peak into his room where she found one snoring Goku lying on the bed in a funny position, the sheets were all spread across his room, Bulma knew that the maintenance staff wouldn't be pleased. She looked at her wristwatch it was 9.30 AM and there was only a half hour left before his fight would begin. It suddenly hit, Hasky and Mai had planned this so Goku wouldn't be ready for the semi final let alone the finals! And if he didn't show up in time he would get disqualified, her eyes widened at this thought.
"Goku wake up!" She shook him violently but he only changed sleeping position and continued his slumber; that was until Bulma poured cold water on his head.
"Woah!" He said and scratched his head.
"Goku there not much time left before your fight begins!" Bulma shouted at him.
"Aha… Ok…" He didn't seem to worry.
"Goku we will lose the dragon balls!" Bulma tried again.
"What! Lose? No way!" he got up but quickly rubbed his head.
"I knew it you had too much to drink last night!" Bulma said with a irritating tone.
"My head feels like its gonna explode?" Goku said with a confused expression.
"Its called a hangover, there is no way we can win now…" Bulma said and looked down in disappointment, Goku caught this and scowled.
"I am not going to give up, I have a promise to keep I will get you those dragon balls Bulma, no matter what!" He got up and walked to the other end of the room, he then began doing push-ups, much to Bulma's surprise.
"Alright I'm ready!" He said and walked to the entrance; he slipped into his black low top sneakers and tied the shoelaces which caused Bulma to smile, but she had other concerns she wanted to know what he was doing at the part last night, but why should she ask him, maybe he didn't want her to know.
"Last night…" She stopped, he turned to look at her and smiled, this gave her the motivation she needed to ask him.
"Last night… can you remember what you did last night?" her voice so tender, soothed his mind but what surprised him was when he thought back he couldn't remember.
"I remember reaching the semi finals, and seeing you dressed beautifully, but I…Hasky… I can't remember." Bulma cam closer to him and placed her gentle hand on his shoulder, she looked concerned at him, not only was she bitterly surprised by his lack of memory, but his remark about her. 'He thought I was dressed beautifully?' Her heart skipped a few beats before she snapped out of it. Her expression then immediately changed into a more serious one.
"Did you make out with Hasky?" Bulma asked with a cold voice, Goku quirked an eyebrow.
"You did, didn't you?" Her voice began to tremble she was giving him a condescending look.
"What would Chi-Chi say if she found out?" Bulma said with a fearless tone, Goku on the other hand didn't know what she was talking.
"We'll get back to this, but now we have to win those dragon balls!" Her redundant spirit was the only thing that kept her from falling deeper into the mess with Goku.
"Yeah let's go!" Goku smiled and nodded. As they arrived at the arena Bulma wished Goku the best of luck before making her way to Mai and Hasky this time she would keep a close eye on them. As Tao Pai Pai approached the ring Goku noticed the evil smirk on his face. The crowd was getting impatient and Hasky quickly announced the next fight.
"Now we are going to decide who is to proceed to the final, the next match is between mercenary Tao Pai Pai, and our handsome champion Goku!" The crowd began to cheer; the atmosphere was set now the fight could begin! Goku stepped up to the challenge and positioned himself showing his trademark battle stance. Tao Pai Pai only smirked and held his hands behind his back.
'I don't get it why does Tao Pai Pai act so carefree, is he informed about Goku's hangover?' Bulma thought and looked angrily at Hasky who was sitting right next to her.
'Go on Goku do your best I can even smell the alcohol from this far. Today you will die by my hands!' Tao Pai Pai took one more look at Goku before launching himself at him planting a vertical knife hand attack on Goku's neck, Goku led out a low moan before regaining his stature, things were awfully blurry for him, dizziness had cost his balance dearly.
"Look at you Goku! Hahaha! You can't even stand up correctly let alone fight me!" Tao Pai Pai stated the all too obvious.
"You maybe right, but I wouldn't let you win." A provocative smirk appeared on Goku's lips.
"No! You will die!" Tao Pai Pai launched himself and revealed a blade sticking out of his sleeve, as he slashed Goku escaped with a torn tank top. The tank top slid down revealing Goku's chiseled upper body.
"Yummy!" Bulma heard Hasky comment.
"That was close." Goku checked himself for any cuts and looked relieved when he didn't find any.
"Too close, now you die!" Tao Pai Pai launched himself at Goku who quickly snapped out of his hangover while preparing for the upcoming threat, Tao made a horizontal swing, but Goku jumped in the air before Tao could cut him in half. The mercenary looked up to be greeted by hard hitting pair of sneakers. DUNG! Tao landed on his back stunned for a moment he couldn't believe his own robotic eyes.
"How… How could you regain control of you body so fast!" The evil mercenary proclaimed while regaining his battle stance.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that you are going down!" Goku was indeed unique to this world being a member of a powerful alien race Goku's body would always recover in time, not even alcohol had a long term effect on our hero.
"Why isn't he dead already?" Hasky asked Mai loudly, this caught the attention of Bulma who elbowed Hasky.
"What do you think your doing?" Hasky asked annoyed.
"I've seen through your stupid scheme Hasky! Goku is just tougher than you thought!" Said Bulma who was happy that her best friend was back in the game.
"I am going to make an example of you Goku, you might be strong but you are still a child compared to me!" The evil mercenary launched another attack, Goku waited patiently and swung one leg up which Tap blocked only to find Goku swing his other leg up and hit him in the face before he landed on his stomach and stood up on his hands, swirling with his legs in the air and perfectly landing several flying side kicks and knocking the mercenary away, before Tao Pai Pai could even hit ground Goku appeared behind him a split second delivering a devastating horizontal knife hand attack to the neck, knocking Tao Pai Pai out instantly. As Goku's opponent hit the the ground face down the crowd jumped up in excitement it was indeed a dramatic fight, Goku raised his fists to the air, a sign of victory and gesture to the crowd, he then glanced at Bulma who was in awe of his abilities and folded her hands and held them up to her chest, she gave him a sweet smile which he noticed and returned.
"Darn it! Change of plans!" Hasky and Mai ran out of the arena, Bulma followed them into their respective room, filled with artifacts, she had kept silent and had not alarmed them, and instead she listened to their conversation while hiding behind a large vase.
"I thought you had filled him up last night!?" Mai said looking worried, husky just shook her head.
"I tried everything, even screwing the guy, but he wouldn't let me reach for his stick." Hasky added.
"Of course he didn't! You two were seated in the middle of a party?" Mai reasoned.
"So what? Like I care?" Hasky added abruptly. Bulma gasped before covering her mouth with her hands not wanting to give away her position.
"Did you hear that?" Hasky looked around with a suspicious look on her face.
"It was probably nothing, listen we have to go to plan B, since Tao Pai Pai didn't keep his end of the bargain." Mai said while crossing her arms.
"Those dragon balls are ours! I'll snatch Bulma's and then were out of here!" Hasky proclaimed with a confident smile.
"But first we need to take care of Goku he could be a problem if left unattended." When Bulma heard this she sneaked out and ran as fast as she could to reach Goku in time before something bad would happen. As she entered the arena she spotted Goku sitting patiently near the ring, he noticed Bulma who ran to him and panted from all of her running.
"Why are you so exhausted?" He asked, noticing the frantic and concerned expression painting itself on her beautiful face, she pressed her palms on her knees while slowly regaining her breath.
"I just overheard a conversation between Hasky and Mai they are planning to kill you and steel all of the dragon balls!" She said nervously looking around for any threats.
"Easy now Bulma are you sure?" Goku tried to reason, but the look on Bulma's face was enough to make him a believer. Mai and Hasky reentered the arena wearing gasmasks.
"Because of a slight alternation the final will be held now, Goku is going to face our champion, give a big hand to our champion!" Hasky proclaimed, the ring began to divide into two half's and a rising plateau emerged on it stood the one and only…
"Bacterian!" There he stood all tall and smelly in fact so smelly that the crowd slowly abandoned the arena, the smell was just THAT horrible, a smirk formed on the giants face, only to be ruined by the trail of snot hanging down his nose, it was a sight to behold.
"No way!" Goku exclaimed with a high pitched voice, before taking a few steps back, surprised and stunned by the stench emitting from Bacterian's armpits.
"So we meet again Goku! But this time I stink even more than before! Muhaha!" Bacterian proclaimed while taking huge steps Goku.
"You got that right!" Goku backed away, the stench threatening to knock him out.
"Here Goku take this!" Bulma had reached for her purse and had found her best perfume she threw it to Goku, but in mid air it landed in Bacterian's hands instead of Goku's.
"What is this?" Bacterian looked at the pink bottle lying on his massive palm.
"Goku you have to take it from him and spray it on him, it is our only chance!" Bulma began to cough from all of the stench surrounding her, she heard footsteps behind her and turned around to find Hasky and Mai standing.
"Now hand over your last dragon ball!" Hasky said while holding on to her gun and pointing at Bulma.
"Oh I hope I can find it…" Bulma ran through all of the stuff in her purse and found the dragon ball, she also noticed clothes-peg which she definitely could use, and she put the peg on her nose, and took the dragon ball.
"You want this?" Bulma said while throwing the dragon ball and hitting Hasky in the head knocking her out on the ground, Bulma ran and kicked the gun away from her hand, before taking the dragon ball lying next to Hasky.
"This was not a part of the plan!" Mai erupted scared of Bulma's display of aggression.
"Even the best laid plans fail, but lets face it your plan sucked!" Bulma said with an evil smile on her face. Meanwhile Bacterian chased Goku around trying to get close enough to him to knock him out, not by hitting him but by grossing him out.
"Oh man this stench is horrible!" Goku growled while leaping over Bacterian and finally snatching the perfume from him.
"Take this!" Goku threw the bottle in Bacterian's face, the bottle got shattered into pieces when it hit and some of the fluid was spread around Bacterian's face.
"What is this?" Bacterian could not recognize the sweet scent, luckily this made it possible for Goku to launch an attack and the fight was on! Meanwhile Bulma observed the fight and didn't notice Hasky who took her by surprise and landed on top of her, they both fell to the ground and rolled switching positions, Hasky was more powerful and used this position herself on top of Bulma and held her arms while leaning in close to Bulma.
"Now give me the dragon ball!" Hasky growled while she struggled to keep Bulma underneath her, Bulma struggled with her legs, but Hasky encircled her hips with her legs not allowing Bulma to use her full strength.
"You used Goku!" Bulma screamed in her face, Hasky could feel Bulma's warm breath and the hate that was slowly pilling up inside of her.
"Well I did, but I enjoyed it, you should have seen us how my tongue dripped inside his mouth, and how tight his body was, and his childish innocence…" Hasky's words were provocative, Bulma frowned even more.
"You slut! How could you take advantage of him!?" Bulma fired back.
"Even thought he is a complete childish idiot, he turned me on, you should have been there… my juices were dripping down my legs as I had positioned myself on top of him, I was this close to actually fu…" But Hasky didn't finish before Bulma kicked her off of her. Bulma stood up and looked enraged.
"Now bitch tell me where my dragon balls are!" Hasky's eyes widened when she heard this. Meanwhile Goku was on top of his game delivering fast and precise punches, Bacterian was a big ordeal, not only was he huge in size, but also robust. When Goku landed on the ground he looked at Bulma who was struggling with Hasky and got distracted for a second before he felt a huge fist slam into his stomach. Blood escaped Goku's parting lips together with a high pitched guttural scream.
"Goku!" Bulma heard this and turned her gaze to look at her best friend before getting cowardly hit in the back by Mai, when Bulma fell to the ground the dragon ball rolled out of her bag for Mai to collect.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Hasky said and dragged Mai out of the arena. Goku saw Bulma lying on the floor before he noticed that she wasn't moving, his eyes widened in shock and his energy rose, he blocked an upcoming blow from Bacterian before firing a small energy ball which hit his stinky opponent and exploded by impact knocking him out.
"Bulma!" Goku ran to her and lifted her upper body carefully, supporting her back with his arm underneath it. He trailed his fingers down her sweet cheek, she slowly opened her eyes and met his concerned gaze she put one hand up and caressed his face before trailing her fingertips to his lips wiping some of the blood that was stained. She smiled to him, blinking a few times before she fell into his embrace, she could feel his heartbeat it was racing.
"Don't scare me like that Bulma…" He whispered into her ear, she rested her head on his chest and clenched even closer to him, in that moment he was all she needed, but her rationality quickly intertwined and she eventually pushed herself away from him.
"They took our dragon balls." She said with a hoarse voice.
"We will get our revenge, but you should rest now Bulma." Goku said while lifting her up and carried her all the way to their suite. He then gently lied her down on the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"We'll find them with the help of our dragon radar, and when we do… we'll give them hell." The strength in her voice was regained, and Goku only smiled at the thought of sweet revenge.
"I'll plan it to the last detail, they won't get away with it." Bulma said and smiled back to Goku.
A/N: I finally completed this chapter… phew! I won't be updating anytime soon, because I'll have to study for some exams, but I should be ready with the next chapter in about a month's time. I would also like to answer a question I got from CDC2.
I have considered the possibilities of writing a lemon but I'm not sure if it would suite this story all to well, If I am to write anything then it is probably going to be some romantic stuff with detail, but not as graphical as by lemon standards, although you never know I might just cross the line :-P I am excited to see some feedback regarding this chapter, and don't worry guys the romance is on the way, there are still 6 chapters to go before I can finish this story. Take care everybody! ;-)
Sincere, Damir
