Dragon Ball Rewritten
Gohan's Time Warp Chaos
Chapter 29, Survival
The Animal Tamer Stadium has now begun. Gohan and Kit had signed up for four events along with the robot girl Arale, who should've been with kid Goku at this time but isn't, this could really mess up the timeline and screw up Time back in Gohan's future.
"Scatter, I want you to stay out here and squeal if you see anything suspicious." Kit said to the rat on her head. Scatter nodded and jumped off her head and crawled into a small hole in the wall.
The four events are actually one big survival of the fittest called the Survival Troopers. The rules will be explained by the announcer.
"So for these tamers they must prove that their animal partners are loyal or they won't get through. Now for this event each tamer will go through a door that will lead to a place filled with obstacles and wild life. You must go through one area and when you reach another with a different season or back round you have reached the next event of survival. Wild animals are hostile and will attack you; you must either fight or flee, be sure your animal partner is there to help. If you're not loyal enough to each other you will get hurt and the Animal Tamer Stadium is not responsible for any injuries. Okay Tamers, choose your door."
Gohan gulped nervously as he's not sure which door he should choose; besides he's not sure if Kit would really work with him. Kit looked at one door that seems to have caught the little fox's interest. Curious, the demi-Saiyan looked at the door and it had the word: Frosty Winter on it. On some of the other doors they read: Humid Summer, Pollen Spring and Dry Autumn.
The human-Saiyan hybrid noticed a pattern here; each door has a season on it, which means whatever area they're going to have the climatic seasonal changing like a greenhouse. The word 'Frosty' must mean it will be very cold too, why would Kit want to go in there? The fox turned to the demi-Saiyan and had that mischievous smirk again that made him nervous.
"Why don't we try this one out, demi-Saiyan? I've always liked winter the best out of the four seasons; it's nice and cold, snow is fun to play in, no annoying bugs as they are all in hibernation and I just love the cold in general. This'll be a great chance for us to… really connect, fox to demi-Saiyan, wouldn't you say?"
Gohan sighed and said, "Let's just get this over with."
Kit nodded and looked over to see Arale was indeed here, but there was something… different about her. Arale stood on the door to Dry Autumn along with the Gadchets… apparently they're considered animals. "Gohan, we need to keep a close eye on Arale and her two winged friends; I have a feeling the Time Glitch messed them up too somehow, but I can't quite figure it out."
When the bell to start rang, Gohan opened the door to Frosty Winter and entered along with his new mischievous partner. On the other side was FREEZING cold just like back in Jingle Village! All around the demi-Saiyan and the little fox were snow: trees were covered in snow, the ground was covered in snow, everything was covered in snow and it was like being back in Jingle Village, only there's no people and houses around, it's like one giant snowy forest.
"Wow… these people are really good with technology." Gohan said in awe.
Kit looked around and smirked. "Well, there seems to be certain wild life here demi-Saiyan, better what your step."
So Gohan and Kit walked through the snowy area, the demi-Saiyan using his ki to keep himself warm. They weren't flying through the place because there were cameras everywhere and plus if the enemy sees them in the Time Glitch, who knows what'll happen? Gohan's tail unwrapped itself from his waist as he prefers to let it freely move behind him rather than keep it wrapped up like that.
Although Kit had warned Gohan there is wild life here, so far the place seems to be empty of any of the sort, it's starting to make the human-Saiyan hybrid wonder if there's any living thing here at all. Kit suddenly started hissing at something.
"What's wrong?" Gohan asked.
Kit pointed with her front paw. "Just behind those snowy mountains… doesn't anything look familiar to you, demi-Saiyan?"
Gohan blinked as he looked. It looks just like any other snowy mountain to him, there were glaciers frozen around it… what was he suppose to recognize?
Kit sighed as she shook her head. "Maybe climbing it would stimulate your memory. Come on, let's hurry."
"Uh… okay?" Gohan really didn't know what Kit was hoping for, but decided to just go along with her before he ends up in an unwanted situation.
So the two climbed up the snowy mountain in silence, the higher they went the more Gohan feels like he's seen this before, but still unsure when and where.
"What's going on, Kit?" Gohan demanded, now growing impatient of the suspense and why he's having the de ja vu feeling.
"Oh you'll see soon, forget-me-not demi-Saiyan." Kit laughed.
How could Kit know something that I don't if I've been here before? Has she been stalking me all these years or something? Gohan thought to himself trying to figure this fox out.
"Ah good, we're here." Kit said when they made it to the top. Gohan saw water and glacier down below, he was about to ask what was it about this place that was so familiar to him when he noticed she was looking around for something.
"What are you looking for now?"
"Hmm… I know it's around here somewhere… I sensed him going in not long ago." she said ignoring the hybrid's question.
"Whoa, whoa… he who?" Gohan demanded again, knowing now that there's someone else here that Kit sensed but he didn't and she's not telling him squat.
Kit just sighed and said, "Be patient Gohan, you'll see soon if I can just pinpoint his location." the mysterious little fox started looking around again.
Kit sometimes call him by his name instead of 'demi-Saiyan', whether this was intentional or accident Gohan didn't know, but he likes it better when she calls him by his name as he was never too proud of his half Saiyan heritage.
After a minute or two gone by, Kit's blue eyes light up as she finally found something. "Ah, there he is. Trying to be sneaky by disguising your energy ki, but no one can trick the illusion master so easily. Okay Gohan, just follow me and don't ask questions; it'll be revealed soon."
Gohan was about to ask her something, but decided against it since she just told him not to ask any questions. Kit smirked as she suddenly ran behind the curious hybrid and tackled his back and forced him to fall down the mountain… well, he slide down the ice of the slope with Kit coming right after him laughing all the way.
"Kit! Warn me before you do that next time! I almost had a heart attack!" Gohan snapped at the laughing little fox sliding beside him.
"Warn you? But that would've ruined the funny look on your face when you suddenly fell." Kit kept laughing as Gohan made a mental note to strangle the fox when this is over.
When they finally made it to the bottom, Kit walked towards a cave. "In there, that's where he is now."
Gohan quickly followed Kit into the cave, curious of whom's she talking about and why they would be in this freezing area in the first place. Inside the cave was surprisingly warm and… wet, there was a lot of water here.
"Watch where you step, demi-Saiyan." Kit suddenly spoke up.
"Why? Ah!" Gohan suddenly tripped over and fell on his face, his tail fur spiked from the shock. Kit chuckled when she saw this.
"There are a lot of things on the ground that's easy to trip on." Kit explained as Gohan glared at her.
"Thanks for the warning." Gohan grumbled as he stood back up and got a good look around the dark and drenched cave; he saw a lot of what appears to be metal pieces on the ground and he just tripped over one earlier.
"I'm getting a funny feeling this is more than just a cave."
"What was your first clue? Now hurry, I want to catch him before he knows we're here."
When they walked in deeper of the cave there was a metal cocoon thing up ahead. Gohan's eyes widened as he was surprised to see this.
"Wow! What's that?" he yelled in shock.
Kit quickly jumped and covered the demi-Saiyan's mouth with her small paws. "Shhh! You want to give us away to the mad doctor?"
Gohan's eyebrows stretched as Kit released his mouth. "Mad… doctor?"
"That's right; ring any bells yet demi-Saiyan?"
"The only crazy doctors I know of are… Dr. Wheelo and Dr. Kochin… Oh my… I haven't seem them nor heard about them in so long that I completely forgot about them!" Gohan gasped when he just realized why the mountain was so familiar. It was when he and Oolong were climbing up on a snowy mountain looking for the Dragon Balls when suddenly somebody else found them and summoned Shenron to wish the never melt glaciers to… melt. That was Dr. Kochin and his crazy boss Dr. Wheelo.
"Bingo." Kit smiled.
"But… they're not very strong… intelligent yes, and the only reason that Dr. Wheelo was a threat is because of his cyborg body. If he's dead and came back to life again he would be in his regular human body, right?"
"If only it was that simple Gohan. Remember when you fought Raditz and Nappa again? They had you cornered despite being immensely weaker then you. Imagine if somebody intelligent gained those kinds of powers, what would you do then? You don't have to be stronger to win a battle you know." Kit warned.
"How did you know I fought them…?" Gohan started to ask but decided to just forget about it since Kit never answers his questions when it came to how she acquired knowledge she wasn't suppose to know.
Kit smiled a friendly smile and spoke, "I've been watching you for a long time demi-Saiyan, you just never noticed me until the fight with Guldo."
Gohan was surprised she actually answered him this time instead of saying 'I can't tell you' or 'I have my ways'. "You've… been watching me? Isn't that kind of creepy?"
"Not like that, get your mind out of the gutter. Now pay attention, in that giant metal cocoon lays the crazy Dr. Wheelo, who would like nothing more then to turn everyone in the stadium and maybe later the world into cybernetic beings like himself. Now we can't just bust down the door and take out his Temporal Mecha, as easy as that would be, because if we did that who knows what traps or schemes he could do to us. There's no telling if he even knows you're here, demi-Saiyan."
"So what do you propose we do? Sneak in there?"
"I'm a fox demi-Saiyan, sneaking is what I do best." Kit smirked as she tapped Gohan's forehead before turning purple and transformed herself into a little white kitten.
Gohan felt an odd tingle around his body before he was surrounded in the same purple aura and saw his body was covered in gray fur. "What… did you do to me, Kit?"
"Oh relax demi-Saiyan, I just used my illusion to 'transform' you into a cute little gray kitten. If Dr. Wheelo is looking for the wild animals to experiment on he'll love to see us, it's the perfect way to go in without causing a ruckus."
"Kit… you come up with the weirdest ideas, besides wild cats don't usually live out here in the snowy forests or mountains."
"I know, that's why Dr. Wheelo would go crazy to see a couple of 'wild animals' not native to the surrounding area." Kit explained as she began scratching at the cocoon's door.
"You're crazy." Gohan sighed as Kit stood underneath the camera.
Suddenly the metal doors whooshed opened and a familiar old man came out, smiling sinisterly at both of them. "Ah, more wild life and even better; they're lab cats!"
That's Dr. Kochin! Gohan thought in shock to himself.
Like every other evil Time Traveler; the crazy doctor's assistant wore a Time Mecha around his neck. With a push of a button a mecha arm came from a slot door and scooped up both 'kittens' and suddenly dropped them into containers. Looking around Gohan gasped when he saw all the wild life that was suppose to have been in the forest were all in here.
"Now wonder it was so empty, they've all been captured!" Gohan spoke out.
"Hmm… I wonder what they're planning. Evil scientists could do just about anything." Kit said in both curiosity and concern.
"What're we suppose to do now, Kit? We got in, shouldn't we try to get all the animals out and destroy this place?" Gohan asked and really wanted to get out of the kitty illusion Kit put his body under.
"Patience young demi-Saiyan, I'd like to find out more about what Dr. Wheelo and his assistant are going to do first."
"Why?"
"Know your enemies before you charge in for a fight, didn't Piccolo teach you that?" Kit sighed.
"I must hurry and complete the experiment." A familiar deep voice said.
That sounded like Dr. Wheelo. Gohan thought to himself.
Although the voice sounded familiar, the human body that came out of the shadows was certainly something Gohan hadn't seen before. The 'cat' boy figured this must be Dr. Wheelo's human body, he only saw him as a giant cyborg with a giant brain inside when he was alive and tried to take over his dad's body.
"Dr. Kochin, we cannot stay here much longer. The Time Glitch will soon bring that boy's attention and from what I've heard he has taken out several of our allies. I knew he was powerful when he was upset, I don't want to find out just how powerful he is now that he can control it."
"Do no worry Dr. Wheelo, I've got it all planned out. Even if that boy does come there's no way he'll catch us."
"Shows what he knows." Kit snickered.
Oh, that's why Kit wanted us to get in here in disguise: she wanted us to take out their lab quietly from the inside without using ki… I'm still too weak to use ki much anyway, good plan. Gohan thought to himself and admitted how ingenious the fox's plan was, no matter how obscured it seems, but then a lot of great ideas come from 'obscured' ideals.
When Dr. Wheelo and Dr. Kochin left the lab for further discussion, Kit looked around the lab as if trying to find something. "Hmm… ah, that'll do. Hey Scatter, you can come out now."
"Scatter's here?" Gohan's eyes widened.
The little rat came out of the air vent, how did the rat get in there is anyone's guess. Scatter squeaked as he crawled towards Kit and Gohan, though a bit nervous since they're both 'cats'.
"Don't worry Scatter, this is all just an illusion. Now while the two mad scientists are away, I want you to find their plans; I think I see their blueprints just over on that monitor." Kit said as the rat nodded, able to understand her perfectly somehow… must be an animal thing.
"Why do you want to know their plans, Kit? If we just destroy the lab and their Time Mechas we won't have to worry about it, right?" Gohan asked in confusion.
Kit looked at the hybrid and said, "You can't expect it to always be THAT easy, right? While that may work on your other enemies, these people that use brains will always have some kind of back-up plan should they 'pass away'. If we don't find out what it is and stop it it'll be like Cell and the android all over again."
Gohan nodded; she has a point. Because his dad didn't finish off Dr. Gero or his plans he was able to create those nightmarish androids and that's what sent them off on this Time Trip in the first place.
"It's usually best to be thorough when completing your mission or it may come back and bite you in the butt… or in this case; your tail." Kit snickered a bit when Gohan eyed his real tail… he still has yet to train it, the hybrid plans to during the three year wait for the 22nd WMAT so he wouldn't have to be as worried for his dad.
Scatter soon came back carrying the blueprints with its tail and squeaked. "Good job Scatter, now Gohan, we have to get out of these containers, but we can't get noisy, we still want to remain inconspicuous." Kit said seriously.
"But how?"
"Scatter, do you see that button over there? I believe that's the button that Dr. Kochin used to put us in here, perhaps if it's pressed again it'll release us."
Gohan watched as the rat scurried over to it, climbed the wall and landed on the button to push it. Sure enough; the containers opened right up, releasing them.
"Good work Scatter." Kit smiled as Scatter squeaked in delight.
"Now that we're out, could you please turn me back to human?" Gohan snapped at the laughing fox.
"Sure thing, but you're not all human." Kit snickered as she touched Gohan's head, purple aura surrounded his body and he was back to his original form. Kit reverted herself back to a fox too.
"Okay, we've got the blueprints, now if we could just find a self-destruct button…" Gohan said.
"You've been watching too many cartoons, haven't you?"
"Well my Dad said they were fun to watch…"
"Never mind that. I doubt they would put a self-destruct switch so carelessly, we need to find the right wires and stick em into the wrong places that should cause the lab to crumble in no time. I may not be Bulma, but I know how to cause destruction without a self-destruct button." Kit grinned.
"Kit… you're really starting to scare me."
Scatter jumped on Kit's head again as the fox looked through the T.V. sets and gasped when she saw Dr. Kochin coming to the room they are in. "Gohan! Act a like a statue!"
"What?"
Without time to explain, Kit pushed Gohan near a wall with some… unusual statues of… kids? Past experiments perhaps. Gohan stood perfectly still as Kit, not having time to use her illusion, just froze beside him. Scatter stayed hidden in her fur.
Kochin came into the room looking at some notes and stopped when he noticed the two 'kittens' were gone and the containers were empty. Kit glared as Kochin turned to them. "That's funny; I don't remember adding another statue… and what's with the ugly fox?"
Gohan inwardly gulped when the doctor just called Kit 'ugly', that's like a slaughter waiting to happen. Kit didn't move, but he could tell from the way her ki suddenly spiked that she's itching to bite this guy's head off right now. When Dr. Kochin finally left, Kit hissed. "If we end up fighting them, I'm going to rip off that intelligent idiot into tiny little pieces and feed his flesh and blood to the wild animals when we free them."
"Calm down Kit, we need to stay focused. What is our strategy?"
"Well the stadium is still going on and we have to get to the next event soon or we'll be disqualified for taking too long. Let's do this fast and easy." Kit jumped on a lever, the alarm went off suddenly and all the caged animals were released and caused an immediate stampede while Kit and Gohan floated in the air.
Scatter was glad it hid in Kit's fur. The two doctors quickly tried to see what's all the ruckus about and was shocked when they saw all the animals they captured were stampeding and destroying the lab! Right when Dr. Kochin looked up a certain little purple fox launched at him suddenly and literally chewed his face off!
Gohan had to quickly grab the vicious little fox monster off the guy before he loses his face. "And you said I have anger issues." The demi-Saiyan grumbled while the fox just laughed.
"Never call a girl 'ugly'." Kit said simply and jumped out of Gohan's arms as she's still a bit uncomfortable being held by someone.
Dr. Kochin's face was full of teeth and claw marks, but there was no blood because he's still technically dead (I know he was a robot in the movie, but like Dr. Wheelo, they are both 'human' when they died).
"That boy has found us, it seems he's grown smarter." Dr. Wheelo said without emotion.
"AND HE'S GOT A VICIOUS BLOODTHIRSTY DOG WITH HIM!"
"I'M A FOX YOU NUMBSKULL!" Kit growled while Gohan and Scatter tried to hold her back from pouncing on the poor guy again.
"We must get to the underground base before he destroys it too." Dr. Wheelo said quickly.
"Ah yes and the robot girl can take care of him and that vicious animal of his."
Kit's ears perked up at the mention of the 'robot girl'… could he have been talking about Arale? Even Gohan seems to have figured it out.
"We have to find Arale." Kit said seriously.
"But we have to catch those two first." Gohan pointed as the two doctors were getting away.
Chapter 30, Chasing Through the Events
"This is why I HATE enemies that uses their brains. Look at that; they teleported themselves and destroyed the teleporter in the process, we'll have to find them on foot." Kit hissed.
"We could try sensing their kis, but… they can keep their power levels low through the Temporal Mecha." Gohan sighed.
"Hmm… They said something about an underground base. Demi-Saiyan, let's get through the events first, then worry about those two mad scientists, I have a bad feeling about this."
"But how will we get out of here? We don't exactly know where the exit is." Gohan asked.
"The air vents leads to the main control room of the stadium, from there we can go to the next event, Scatter here discovered it." Kit smiled as Scatter squeaked in confirm.
Gohan looked at the small vent and sighed. "Don't tell me… we're going to crawl through the air vents? What if we get caught?"
"Oh don't worry about that demi-Saiyan, just make sure you don't make too much noise and we should be fine, now be quiet as a mouse or I'll turn you into a mouse if it'll help."
"I'm good, let's go." Gohan said quickly not wanting to be under Kit's illusion influence again.
As the tailed boy crawled into the air vent, Kit smirked a she watched him go in. Works like a charm.
Kit went in after him. The two of them were crawling… well more like Gohan was crawling, Kit was small enough to stand on her four paws and Scatter was… well, just scurrying alongside them for fun. The young hybrid boy felt ridiculous as he never had to sneak into air vents before, it was bad enough when he had to press himself on the grass of Namek to hide from Frieza, now this?
"Whew, they've got some sturdy vents here if people could just squeeze through it." Kit said as they went through.
"Are you suggesting I'm fat?" Gohan glared at the chuckling fox.
"No, but you are pretty heavy considering the amount of food you consume daily. It's like you Saiyans have black holes for stomachs." Kit laughed as Gohan blushed in embarrassment as he is once again reminded that awkward situation way back during the 21st tournament.
Scatter ran ahead and pointed at the exit of the air vents. "Oh, we've reached the place."
Gohan, Kit and Scatter opened the vents. The rat looked around before signaling the coast was clear. Gohan and Kit hurried out as they raced back to the main court of the stadium for the next event and hopefully chase down Dr. Wheelo and Dr. Kochin before they can put their vile plans to action.
Scatter decided to go back into the air vents in case he is needed again. Gohan and Kit made it to the main stadium just in time from the looks of it.
"Well now Sky and Kitsune, it's about time you two joined us. You were the last ones to have not gotten disqualified to reach this place, try and keep up please." The announcer said as everyone in the audience agreed.
Kit and Gohan glared. "Well EXCUSE us! It's not like there's a time limit on trying to survive!" Gohan snapped irritably.
"So anyway, now that our last two competitors have finally arrived, let's move on to the second event: Predator Hurdle Dash!"
All the competitors turned to a runner's Track and Field, there were gates at the starting line and they have a lot of loud growling noises that made a lot of them nervous. Kit noticed Arale and her two Gachents, instead of their usual playfulness they seem more serious and emotionless, which did NOT fit either of them.
I know Dr. Wheelo had something to do with this, I just hope we can fix it before Goku finds General Blue and decides to leave Penguin Village or we're screwed. Kit thought to herself before facing the Track and Field.
"Now, the rules are simple: run away from the hungry predators, jump across the hurdles that will pop up from the ground and cross the finish line. Both tamers and animals must be working together."
"Remember Gohan; we must run like normal humans and animals, not supernaturally fast." Kit whispered to her tailed 'tamer'.
"I know, I know." Gohan sensed the predators behind those gates had unusually high ki and that's not a good sign.
"Kit, do you feel that? Something's not right with those animals." The human-Saiyan hybrid said in concern as his tail swished, some people were staring at it unsure if it's real or just their imagination that it's moving.
"Yes, I sense it… I think Dr. Wheelo already performed his experiment on these poor animals… this event is going to be a killer." Kit smirked, though even she knows this is going to put these people in danger.
"TAMERS! STAND ON YOUR MARK!" the announcer shouted.
"What should we do?" Gohan didn't want to endanger these people.
"Hmm… this is going to take some multi-tasking, unfortunaly I don't know the multi technique, so we're just going to have to hope for the best… maybe we can save them if nobody is looking."
Gohan and Kit stood near the third gate, both of them could hear whatever it was back there trying to claw its way out of its prison to rip their flesh and fur apart. The other tamers, including Arale, didn't seem to care too much about it however as they all waited for the START signal.
As soon as the whistled blow the gates opened and the tamers along with their animal partners ran across the tracks. From behind the gates was what appears to be ravage wolves, but they're much more bloodthirsty then they should be and their energy was far too high to that of the average wolf.
"I hate vicious canines." Kit muttered while running beside Gohan, who was staying behind three people so he wouldn't accidently run too fast for 'normal' people.
"Just what did Dr. Wheelo do to them?" Gohan said in horror when he saw how vicious these wolves were and they were fast too. The wolves caught up to the tamers in just under a minute, so now the tamers had to use their animal partners to fight back and hold them off. Gohan and Kit were still far away enough to avoid the wolves' deadly jaws. Things won't be pretty if those two were forced to fight.
"Demi-Saiyan, if those wolves were really mutated somehow, we're going to have to blow them back until everyone is safely at the finish line." Kit said to the running hybrid boy beside her.
"Watch out for the hurdles!" Gohan yelled when a hurdle suddenly popped out in front of them. They both jumped over it without too much trouble.
"I know what to do." Kit suddenly smirked. The purple fox suddenly flashed in a calming blue aura before she sweep the dirt with her tail three times. Gohan raised an eyebrow after a few seconds past and nothing happened, that is until three of those wolves were suddenly flipped back a few miles caused by energy.
"That is what I like to call; 'Energy Sweeper'. It takes some time to prepare but it blows back enemies when they least expect it." Kit explained while chuckling.
Gohan wondered if most of Kit's technique involves stealth considering she's the type to hide and surprise. That'll come in handy, especially now. Both of them easily jumped the hurdles and Kit continued to use her Energy Sweeper to keep back the vicious wolves. Arale and the Gachents were in first place as the both have inhumane speed, but they did look at Gohan and Kit when they sensed ki being used.
It didn't take long before they finally crossed the finish line without any casualties and it was on to the third event. The audience cheered loudly as the announcer made his way to the front.
"Okay! Now that the second event is over, let's move on to the third event. This event will be combined with the fourth event, making this the last event of the stadium! Now the third event you are to go underground separately, the fourth event involves battling against each other, so for this mixed events you are to travel through the underground, find and battle each other and whoever comes out on top will be the winner. Remember; no cheating, we've got cameras everywhere."
Kit's ears perked up. "Didn't Dr. Wheelo and Dr. Kochin say their base was underground?"
"You think we'll find them there?" Gohan asked her.
"Hmm… it's a possibility, but we won't know for sure until we look." Kit answered.
When the final event began, the tamers and their animals were lead by the employees to the underground caverns, where they will be tested by their wits and teamwork.
Gohan and Kit looked around the dark area they were in, there was water dripping and the place was cold and humid. The human-Saiyan hybrid could feel high kis in the area… another unnatural caused by the evil scientists no doubt.
"Great, of all bloody things they choose a freezing cold watery cave." Gohan remembered he use to have wet dreams before and during the training Piccolo gave him way back in the day, the demi-Saiyan was never a fan of cold, wet dark caves.
Kit on the other hand… er… paw, seems to enjoy it. "I think it's quite aquatic and nice."
"Kit, I get the feeling you love the dark, cold and wet." Gohan groaned.
"I like it better then that hot Kaio-Ken of yours. Okay, we need to stay focused; our top priority is finding those two evil scientists and destroy their Temporal Mecha before anymore damage is done." Gohan agreed as the two begin their journey through the underground waters.
Chapter 31, Gohan and Kit's Battle Combination
Scatter scampered through the air ducts in hopes of finding anything helpful for Kit and Gohan, but the rat stopped when it sniffed an unfamiliar yet dangerous scent. Curious, Scatter crawled towards it and a metal claw suddenly grabbed the poor unsuspecting rat.
"You'll make a find Lab Rat." Dr. Wheelo said and smiled evilly when he saw Scatter trapped in the container.
Kit jumped for a second before looking worried. Gohan noticed this and asked, "What's wrong? Did you sense something?"
Kit looked back at the demi-Saiyan and said, "No… just a feeling that something… is really wrong."
"That's never a good sign." Gohan groaned.
"I hope Scatter and Goku are okay…" Kit whispered so softly that even the sensitive ears of a Saiyan couldn't pick up on what she said.
So the two unusual warriors made their way across the dark wet underground cavern. While they were, a certain young Saiyan boy was wandering around in Penguin Village, lost, curious and worried of what became of 'Sky' and his two animal pals. All around Goku as been asking the people of the strange place if they've seen a taller boy with a tail that looked similar to him or a mean man with blonde hair called 'Blue', but none have unfortunaly.
Dishearten, Goku stopped and sat down, wondering what to do. "Where could they be? Sky couldn't have fallen too far from me, it's like he and that talking fox and the mouse just disappeared."
The young tailed boy blinked when he saw Blue suddenly running across the hills towards a huge stadium building. The guy looks like he was being chased by something scary, but all Goku could see was a little blue Chihuahua happily skipping after the scared general.
"Wow… I can't believe he's scared of a tiny dog. Hey wait! He still has my Dragon Balls. I'll have to find Sky later, I need to take back what this guy stole first!" Goku charged after the running Blue, both of them was heading towards the stadium.
The little blue Chihuahua stopped when it saw the tailed boy chasing after the person it was chasing. The little pointy-eared dog watched them go towards the stadium and smiled an evil smile as black aura surrounded its body… this is not an ordinary little dog.
Meanwhile, back to Gohan and Kit, the two of them were soaked and cold, but they ignored it as they have more dire matters at hand/paw. They sensed incoming kis getting close to them.
"Better get prepared to fight demi-Saiyan." Kit said as her ears twitched forward as if listening to something.
As if on cue, Arale and her two Gachents shattered the stone walls and stared emotionless at the half-breed and his little fox. Both of them quickly took on a fighter stance.
"We are to annihilate ki users at all cost. The Master hates ki users." Arale spoke that sounded a lot like the androids instead of what should've been her usual peppy and energetic self. Her two Gachents floated beside her staying silent, yet watching Gohan and Kit as if they were their next victim.
"Gachents 1 and 2… attack." Arale pointed and the two charged at them with high speed. Gohan and Kit were able to dodge them since they're both fast themselves, but it looks like this is going to be one tough battle.
Gohan was mostly on defensive as the hybrid boy still didn't have much access to his ki yet, so the tailed boy focused on dodging and blocking their quick attacks. Kit glared at Arale as she knew that android girl wouldn't just stand by and let the Gachents have all the fun, even if she is controlled or corrupted or whatever by Dr. Wheelo there's no way she would just stand by.
"What's wrong little fox? Not going to help your Master?" Arale questioned Kit when she saw the fox wasn't helping him.
"Gohan can handle himself, even in his current state. What I want to know is where Dr. Wheelo and his assistant are." Kit hissed.
"Master Wheelo is currently unavailable and I will see to it that you ki users are eliminated once and for all." Arale said just before she suddenly launched herself as Kit.
Gohan was having a rather hard time trying to dodge the two winged Gachents as they both constantly gang up on his and sometimes hit his tail, causing him to weaken for a second before they both hit his head. The demi-Saiyan powered up using the standard Kaio-Ken, knowing he still didn't have enough energy to go Super Saiyan yet.
Using the Kaio-Ken, Gohan managed to push away the two winged little monsters and strike them at the same time before they can retaliate, but while doing this the half Sayain boy was weakening more and more since his body cannot take too much energy at once right now.
Kit sensed that Gohan was pushing too much energy into his body at the wrong time and knew he was in trouble. This distracted the fox and Arale managed to body slam on her! Kit howled in pain as she flipped around and head bashed the robotic girl in the face before jumping in the air gracefully and landing near Gohan, who was still in his Kaio-Ken state.
"Gohan! Stop using the Kaio-Ken before you burn all your reserving energy completely." Kit shouted so that the demi-Saiyan would hear her.
Gohan powered down and landed next to Kit and felt dizzy and weak. "Didn't I warn you not to over do it until you recover completely?" Kit sighed.
The half breed shook his head and said, "I was in a situation that demanded it, okay?"
Kit glared at the incoming Arale and her two Gachents. "Well it looks like we better start working together if we want to survive this fight. They're much stronger then they should be thanks to those crazy doctors."
Arale and the Gachents charged at the demi-Saiyan and the fox. Gohan and Kit both jumped at the same time and landed behind the three before turning around and firing a small yet effective Kamehameha Wave and a white with purple lighting energy beam from Kit's mouth combining with the demi-Saiyan's wave created a destructive energy force that whipped out the three robots.
"Wow Kit, what do you call that?" Gohan asked in amazement.
"Graze Lightning." Kit answered before a dozens of little missiles shot towards them.
Gohan, using super speed, dodged them all with relative ease as he came closer to Arale. Kit noticed the Gachents were nowhere to be seen… where are they? The fox didn't have to time to react when two little missiles hit her from behind, sending her into the cold water!
The tailed boy noticed this and shouted, "KIT! Are you okay?"
Kit jumped out of the freezing water and shook all the droplets off her fur, soaking the area around her before disappearing and reappeared behind the Gachents, grabbed one of them and threw it at the other, both hitting Arale and smacked right into the wall. "Tricky little monsters, aren't they? Demi-Saiyan, these guys are not our true enemies, its Dr. Wheelo, he's behind their behavior. We need to find him now."
"I know, but how?"
Kit's eyes and fur suddenly widened and spiked. She looked both afraid and angry about something. Gohan was about to ask what was wrong until he felt a powerful ki that was evil and far more sinister and stronger than Super Perfect Cell and that was a nightmare.
"Oh-no… it's her again, Distorta must be nearby. I didn't think she'd recover so fast…" Kit mumbled in annoyance and worry.
Arale and the two Gachents stood up from the cold water they landed in after Kit threw them into the wall. All three of them looked around as if curious before looking at the demi-Saiyan and little fox.
"Uh… hey you two, I've never seen you before. Would you mind telling me where we are? Is this an underground expedition?" Arale spoke with such energy and her two winged friends were smiling happily.
Kit smiled in relief. "Good, it looks like they're back to normal… well, as normal as they can be anyway."
Gohan was surprised to see how much energy the real Arale and the Gachents have, they're nothing like how they were just moments ago.
Kit's ears twitched when she heard a voice that sounded like Blue's just on the other side of the stoned walls. "Stay away from me you tailed brat!"
"Not until you give me back the Dragon Balls you've stolen!" a voice that sounded like Goku (and Gohan for that matter since they have the same voice actress) yelled after him.
Acting quickly, Gohan kicked down the wall and saw his kid father chasing after General Blue. Kit stopped him from chasing after them by gabbed his tail with her mouth. Gohan looked back at her confused. "We have to catch up to my dad Kit."
Kit shook her head as she let go of his tail. "Not yet demi-Saiyan, we still need to find Dr. Wheelo and Kochin. Hey Arale, how would you and the Gachents like to play 'tag' with the shorter boy with the tail?"
"Ohhh, I love to play tag! Is he chasing after that taller man?" Arale asked excitedly.
"Yes, maybe if you hurry you can 'tag' the bigger man before the boy does and win the game." Kit said.
"Yay! Tag!" Arale raced off with her two Gachents behind her.
"Good, at least this way she'll be helping and meeting Goku like she was suppose to in the original timeline." Kit nodded after she was out of sight.
Gohan felt his heart beating faster as he felt that sinister ki getting closer. "Kit… is that energy I'm sensing really Distorta?"
Kit turned her attention back to the now worried half Saiyan boy; his tail was stiff in anticipation. "Yes Gohan, I'm afraid it is her. We can't let her find us; we are not ready to face such a deadly enemy yet. You're still heavily weakened from those Time Glitches at the amusement park and I'm not strong enough either. We're going to have to be sneaky, keep our energy as low as possible and find the doctor's lab and destroy it before Distorta can find us."
Chapter 32, Danger Approaching
Gohan had never felt so scared in his life. Sure there were many times that he nearly peed in his pants and was so scared that he couldn't move, but this was different. This enemy, this evil energy of the enemy had his whole body trembling and he hadn't even seen the enemy's face yet. The demi-Saiyan knew this energy he's feeling right now is only the tip of the iceberg and to make matters worse; he was still far too weak to even use the Kaio-Ken anymore.
"Gohan, King-Kai and I sensed a tremendous evil power near you and Kit, is everything okay?" Gohan heard his adult dad's voice in his head for the first time in a good while.
"I'm afraid not Goku, we have a really powerful enemy tracking us as we speak." Kit answered before Gohan could, surprising both the demi-Saiyan and the dead Saiyan.
"How could you hear my dad?" Gohan asked in confusion.
Kit hesitated; she wasn't sure if she should tell him the answer before finally sighing and said, "I'm the Master of Illusion, meaning I can easily exploit one's mind and sense their thoughts. Don't worry, I can't directly read your mind or anything, but I can hear your adult father so long as you're near me when he speaks."
"That's really cool, hey Gohan, after you solve this whole time thing, maybe you could get Chi-Chi to let you keep her." Goku chuckled.
"Daaaad!" Gohan blushed.
Kit chuckled before saying, "Normally I would be teasing you about this, demi-Saiyan, but we've wasted too much time talking. We have to find the lab now and destroy it so we can end this Time Glitch before Distorta finds us and we'll be screwed for sure."
"Goku, if you would, I want you to keep an eye on your past self. I want to make sure he meets Arale and the two of them gets the Dragon Balls back from Blue." Kit said.
"That's a great idea Kit." Gohan smiled.
"Okay, I'll go see what my past self is up to… wow, this sure is strange that I'm looking at my past self in the Otherworld…" Goku said before disconnecting.
Gohan and Kit suddenly felt that evil ki again heading their way. "We must stay low and hidden Gohan, my illusions don't fool Distorta very easily, so we can't get spotted no matter what or we're done and so is Time."
This reminds me of that ninja series I always watched with Krillin whenever I sneak away from home about that boy who wanted to become the greatest leader of his village but everyone hated him because of that powerful fox demon inside him. Gohan mused to himself trying to stay calm in this situation.
The demi-Saiyan looked at the little purple fox in front of him. Ironically enough, my partner is a fox too.
Kit narrowed her blue eyes as she saw something up ahead. "That must be it… ugh, it had to be under the freezing waters."
The half breed saw the same metal cocoon from back in Frosty Winter and is now underwater… what is it with these doctors and the cold? Kit says she likes the dark, cold and wet, but after a while even she begins to hate it.
"Come on, the sooner we defeat them and rid the Time Glitch, the sooner we can avoid Distorta and a slaughtering battle." Kit said quickly.
"How are we going to get in? We can't just dive down there; we'll freeze and drown before they even notice us." Gohan asked not looking forward to diving into icy waters.
Before Kit could answer, Arale suddenly came charging in. "CHAAAARGE!"
Gohan and Kit quickly jumped out of the crazed android girl's way as she charged through the waters like it was not even there and tore through the poor cocoon like paper. Kid Goku and the Gachents soon came from behind.
"Wow, that girl can run. She's got one mean of a head bash too after seeing how she tackled that Blue guy all the way out of the cave." Goku said in astonishment.
"Gohan, Kit, my past self learned from Arale that you two needed help finding a Lab." adult Goku answered the two Time Travelers' unasked question.
"How did she even know?" Gohan asked.
"Apparently her memories were never erased; she just acted like they were because she wants to stay as carefree as possible." Kit sighed.
"Come on in! It's nice and toasty in here!" Arale called from the cocoon.
"I hope you don't mind getting wet." Kit smirked as she suddenly flashed behind both tailed boy. The mischievous little fox tackled Goku right into Gohan, causing both of them to fall head-first into the freezing waters while Kit dived in after them herself. The two Gachents said they were going to stay out here as look-out in case a certain someone finds out they're here.
When the three warriors made it into the cocoon they were shivering. "K-Kit! Th-there w-w-was n-no r-r-r-reason to push u-us in-into the FREEZING WATER!" Gohan snapped while shivering and trying to use his ki to warm up.
Goku had no such luxury as he only knew to fire a large amount of ki from the palm of his hands. "D-d-does anyone h-have a j-j-jacket?"
"It's not so bad, come on, let's go find those crazy doctors before they catch any more cute animals." Arale said energetically.
Kit shook her wet fur leaving water all over the place. "Come on you two big babies, let's hurry before you-know-who catches us!"
So now; kid Goku, young Gohan, little fox Kit and hyperactive robot girl Arale were racing across the hallway trying to find the two evil Time Travelers. Kit stopped when her ears perked up hearing a faint sound so small that it could easily be missed.
"What's wrong Kit?" Gohan asked when he noticed she stopped.
"I think I hear Scatter… but he sounds… different somehow."
"Who's Scatter? Is he a new friend?" Arale asked with a smile.
"He's a friend, but I think something happened to him." Gohan said worriedly knowing if Dr. Kochin or Wheelo had found the poor little rat then he's in big trouble.
As if on cue a loud roar shook the entire area. Kit's eyes widen when she noticed what looks like a wolf with a rat's tail hissing at them.
"That's… Scatter!"
"What did they do to you?" Goku cried when he saw that cute little mouse is suddenly a giant hungry wolf rat growling at them like they're his next prey.
Scatter lunged at them with teeth and claws ready to tear through flesh. Kit, Gohan, Goku and Arale all dived out of the way.
Scatter roared as he dug his claws into the rocks and caused the place to tremble. Opening its mouth, the wolf rat shot out a strong ki beam at them, Arale was hit, but she was okay.
The little fox surrounded herself with the purple aura before turning into… a soccer ball?
Arale saw this and jumped in excitement. "Ooh! I love soccer, let's see how far I can kick it."
"Wait Arale!" the human-Saiyan hybrid tried to stop her from kicking Kit, but the robot girl was far too excited to hear him and she kicked Kit right into the mutated rat's face, causing it to stagger back. At this, Kit quickly reverted back to her fox self and shouted, "ATTACK!"
So that's what she was up to; cause the enemy to flinch and attack. Gohan smiled as he and his kid father jumped towards the rat wolf.
Goku managed to land a punch on the wolf rat's face and Gohan head bashed its side, but this angered Scatter as it lashed its tail like a vicious whip and slapped all of them back.
Before Kit could reply, the two Gachents suddenly came into the room and were frantic. "Danger! Danger! Danger! Something bad is approaching!"
"Could it be Distorta? Gohan, you go and destroy the Temporal Mechas on the two doctors, we'll hold off Scatter here. Hurry, before Distorta finds us." Kit said quickly.
"Right." Without hesitation, Gohan ran across the wolf rat, who tried to pounce him but Kit tackled it away before it could reach the tailed boy.
While Kit, Goku and Arale were dealing with the mutated Scatter, Gohan was hurrying to find Dr. Wheelo and Kochin before Distorta finds them.
Come on, come on, where are they? Gohan frantically thought as he ran across the hallways and finding only empty or experiment rooms.
"Gohan! I see them, they're in the room to the farthest right." Adult Goku suddenly said in Gohan's head.
"Thanks Dad!" Gohan thanked as he hurried.
Gohan's C.T.W. suddenly started beeping. Not having much time, Gohan answered it while still running to the room Dr. Wheelo and his assistant were. On the screen was a worried Bulma.
"Gohan, the Time Radar is beeping off the charts, someone very powerful is near you and it's not Cell." Bulma said urgently.
The half Saiyan inwardly cursed himself and his horrible luck. "I know Bulma, I'm trying to find Dr. Wheelo and Kochin so I can end this Time Glitch and hopefully that large power level will go away or we're all as good as dead."
"You're not too far off target Gohan, but that strong energy is-!" Bulma didn't get a chance to finish before there was a huge explosion coming from the room Gohan was trying to get to.
Kit gasped when she saw the explosion too. "No… she's already here? Goku, Arale, you two and the Gachents keep an eye on Scatter here, I'm going to go find Sky."
"What's wrong with the little foxy?" Arale wondered worriedly.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Goku may not be able to sense energy yet, but even he could tell something was very wrong.
"I'm going to go find Sky and Kit, they may need help." Goku said to Arale before rushing after Kit.
Gohan was coughed on the smoke and opened his eyes in time to see Dr. Kochin disappearing and Dr. Wheelo looked severely injured. The tailed boy gasped when he saw a little blue Chihuahua grinning there sinisterly, it may look small and cute but he could feel that evil power floating off it.
"Well, well, well, it's been a while… Gohan." the little dog said. Gohan recognized that voice from in his dreams.
"You… you're Distorta?" Gohan then remembered his grandfather warning him about a small blue dog with pointy ears… this little Chihuahua must be that dog.
"Distorta? Oh, that fox Kitsune didn't want to tell me real name to you yet, right? I like that name; Distorta. I would like to see the surprise look on your face when you hear my real name however."
Gohan's eyes widen. "Why would I be surprised?"
"I'm not going to spoil it. So it looks like I found you in this little maze of a stadium I created in this boring yet unusual village, wouldn't you say?" Distorta smirked evilly.
Kit suddenly jumped into the scene hissing at Distorta with raw hatred. The demi-Saiyan had never seen Kit with such anger or hate before.
"How could you recover after that battle? You were barely alive." Kit snarled at the blue Chihuahua that laughed.
"Ha! You think a little scratch like THAT could finish ME off? I suppose I should thank you for not finishing what I started, you're just as soft hearted as this boy and his ignorant father and I've warned you that would be your downfall Kitsune and it looks like I was on the mark." Distorta grinned sinisterly.
Kit shook her head and frowned deeply, "There's nothing wrong with showing compassion, and I wanted you to see that. We… we use to be best friends before that incident happened and changed you completely for the worst."
Gohan was shocked to hear this revelation; Kit and Distorta were once best friends? But if that was true what could've happen to cause such a rift between these once good friends?
"Becareful Kitsune or you'll reveal far too much in front of a certain half Saiyan breed." Distorta looked at Gohan who glared back but didn't say a word.
"Gohan is going to find out the truth one day Distorta and when that day comes your worst nightmare will come to be." Kit spoke.
Gohan raised an eyebrow; what did she mean by that?
Distorta suddenly snarled at the fox. "Is that so? Well I'll see to it that day will never come. Say your prayers Kitsune and demi-Saiyan, because your time has come!"
Sensing the little blue dog powering up, Gohan inwardly cursed his bad luck. Why does this always happen? before going into his fighting stance.
"Gohan… we're no match for her as we are now, if we don't find a way to escape and destroy Dr. Wheelo's Temporal Mecha then we're going to die!" Kit hissed urgently.
"But how is destroying Dr. Wheelo's mecha going to do any good?"
"There's no way Distorta, no matter how strong she is, could recover so quickly, she can only use her powers to create a physical form near or within a Time Glitch such as this one. If we could just destroy that Temporal Mecha and the Time Glitch disappears then Distorta will too, at least for now to buy us some time." Kit answered.
"You always were a clever little fox Kitsune, but even if I'm only at a fraction of my power you and that half breed are still going to die. PREPARE YOURSELVES!" Distorta lunged at both of them.
Distorta, a being with a power level believed to rival if not surpass Cell's, will Gohan and Kit be able to survive long enough to get to Dr. Wheelo and destroy his Temporal Mecha along with the Time Glitch? Or will they be facing a losing battle? Can the young Goku arrive in time to help them? Can the young Saiyan even help him if he does? What will become of Scatter, Arale and the two Gachents? Find this all out on the next Part of Gohan's Time Warp Chaos.
