DRAGONBALL Z meets Sly Cooper
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Smack and bang, it was performed in one swift movement. First Gohan was standing fearless before the firing squad and then he was suddenly kissing Videl right on the platform above a lake of boiling lava, not having a care in the world about who was watching. He really didn't care anyway, now that Clockwerk was dead and all four of them had cheated death along the road to this point, he was going to relive every moment of it.
Carmelita was startled beyond belief at the sight next to her, the expression on her face one of shock and surprise as she stared at both Gohan and Videl with wide eyes and an open mouth. She may have objected to it but Videl didn't and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. She hardly expected Gohan to just rush up and lock lips with her partner, and she had never expected Videl to return it so passionately. This defied everything she stood and worked for.
Sly however wasn't surprised. In fact, he was looking rather pleased. He had stopped leaning on his cane and was now standing where he was with his arms crossed beside the shocked cop woman Carmelita. He knew from the beginning that it was some time over the quest for the Thievius Raccoonus did Gohan and Videl finally get together. He knew it the instant Gohan returned to the van from his mission in China after defeating the Panda King. It was pretty obvious though. Sly hadn't seen Gohan so happy or felt such positive rays coming off of Gohan for a long time.
Gohan and Videl stayed in their position and not to mention kiss for a minute or so before they finally pulled away, Gohan smiling down at Videl while Videl smiled back up at him, her eyes half-idled in satisfaction and appreciation. It was when they broke away did Carmelita burst out into hysterics.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING VIDEL!? He's a God damn thief", screamed Carmelita. Videl shook her head, not taking her eyes away from Gohan.
"He's not just a thief Carmelita. I tried to tell you this before", said Videl, laying her head against Gohan's chest and allowing her to be soothed by his gentle heart beat. "He's a good man, charming, kind, handsome… the works." Gohan smiled and wrapped his arms around Videl and rocked her gently, laying his head against hers.
Carmelita immediately gave up and her head hung. She felt her limbs go weak and she could swear that if she had to endure more of this then she would definitely faint. However, she was brought back into reality when Sly laid his hand onto her shoulder.
Looking up at Sly standing beside her she saw him give him one of his kinder smiles and feel his hand give her a reassuring squeeze. After staring up at the Raccoon for a couple more seconds she could feel those emotions erupting to the surface again and she clenched her eyes shut, turning away and shaking her head violently.
"NO CARMELITA! Don't even think about that kind of stuff! He's a thief, and you know that he's bad news!" thought Carmelita to herself, screaming orders to her to not fall victim to Sly's charming exterior. However, all words failed and Carmelita allowed her defenses to drop and turned to look up at Sly, standing back up into a more proper posture.
Her pistol had been lowered enough for Sly to get closer to her and, while Carmelita was captivated by Sly's dazzling features, Sly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, locking lips with the day dreaming vixen.
Carmelita was so caught up in staring into Sly's eyes that she didn't notice that he was kissing her, or she was kissing him! It didn't matter anyway. All that mattered was that even though she was surprised that she had allowed Sly to kiss her, she was suddenly pulled into new world and feeling for the thief and immediately, wrapped her arms around Sly and kissed him back, getting as close as possible to the ring tailed Raccoon.
Gohan and Videl saw this and chuckled, both of them crossing their arms and looking on in interest and looking quite pleased.
"Well, would you look at that", said Gohan. Videl nodded with a sigh and wrapped her arms around Gohan's right arm, laying her head against his shoulder.
"Even out of bad things something beautiful can form, isn't that sweet", asked Videl. Gohan nodded.
"You've got that right Videl", replied Gohan.
Gohan and Videl didn't know how long they stood where they were but they were sure it was over two minutes before they saw Sly and Carmelita part lips and gaze into each other's lights. In this light, Gohan and Videl could see a clearly different change in Carmelita's features. She was looking like she had actually enjoyed the kiss and was staring up at Sly lovingly as was Sly who was returning her loving gaze with one of his own.
Sly's eyebrows made an upwards motion of appreciation as he stared at Carmelita encased in his arms, his expression both charming and handsome in the vixen's eyes. "So, want to reconsider that verdict?" asked the thief.
Carmelita blinked a couple of times then smiled, letting her head rest against Sly's chest. "Perhaps. But heck, I caught you didn't I", replied Carmelita. Sly shrugged.
"In a manner of speaking yes, but not in the way you had expected it", said Sly. Carmelita giggled silently, something Sly hadn't heard come from her lips in years.
"No, but this is much better. But when that actual time comes, I hope you will be ready for it", replied Carmelita. Sly shrugged and rubbed Carmelita's back with his nimble yet strong hands.
"I hope you're ready to, and don't expect me to go easy on you", said Sly.
The two stayed like that for a while now, with Gohan and Videl still watching them intently. However, time was brought back into motion and Gohan turned to Videl, pulling away from her and escaping her grip. Videl looked up at him in surprise.
"Sorry Videl, but I'm afraid we have to split now", said Gohan with a shrug. "I hope I'll see you again next time." Videl smiled and nodded in response.
"I hope so to, but lets hope it's in our off duty encounters next time", said Videl. Gohan shrugged.
"Who knows, I'll surprise you", replied Gohan. He then raised his right hand in a salute. "Good-bye Inspector."
With that, Gohan leapt over Videl effortlessly and sprinted to the end of the platform, turning and waiting for Sly to follow. The Raccoon, who had seen Gohan leap and make his exit did so too, leaving Carmelita's embrace with a kiss and a final farewell before zipping past her and after Gohan. As soon as Sly reached Gohan, the two of them side by side sprinted down to the van, waiting for them at the bottom of the gravel like hill, the back doors open.
As soon as they both hopped in, the van sped off, the doors shutting behind it. Before Carmelita and Videl knew it, the van was already gone, dust hurling over the horizon.
The two cop women continued to stare off into the slowly sun rising sunset and after which a few minutes had past they both let out a sigh and turned to each other. Carmelita chuckled and laid her shock pistol over her shoulder. Considering its size, it was possible and it weighed as much as a Magnum 44.
"I'm satisfied with my guy, how about you", asked Carmelita. Videl giggled, a red blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Definitely. But what should we do if we do catch up with them in the future", asked Videl. Carmelita shrugged.
"Don't know, use your imagination", said Carmelita. Suddenly, her expression turned serious and she used this expression on Videl. "If word gets out we're actually meeting those two in secret then it could ruin our careers. Make sure no one hears about this except us… OK."
Videl nodded. "OK."
With a final nod, Carmelita turned to the lava lake beneath the platform as did Videl, their eyes glowing in the red light emitted by the boiling liquid. Memories of their battle with Clockwerk soon flowed into their minds, a sight they would not soon forget and would be looking to this day for years to come. They just hoped that it was all over.
Unknown to the two of them, as they stared down at the wreckage and burnt remains of the infamous Clockwerk, they failed to notice that on the shattered remains of his head, the giant owl's left eye suddenly opened up with whir, exposing a red, strong glow.
For the world, a sight like that spelt more trouble to come…
Sly's thoughts…
"That moment back on that platform was a moment that both me and Gohan would remember for the rest of our lives, a story we would tell our children when we grow up and write in the history book of thieves; as for the ordeal that we had been hard pressed into for these past couple of months. It was fun all the same and now it was over. But I knew that our gang would soon meet up with both Carmelita and Videl soon enough. Maybe next time, it would be more worth while…"
