Previously on Goku's New Adventure:
Goku stared at his opponent and dropped his fists. "There is no more reason to fight anymore. You are done."
Ikkaku grinned as he tried to regain his balance. "It's never over. I won't ever give." He summoned again his wind sword with one hand.
Goku tries to plead with Ikkaku to stop this fight. "We're done. You've lost and you are not a challenge to me anymore, so walk away."
"Never," panted Ikkaku. "We are still fighting. I, Madarame Ikkaku will never walk away from a fight like a coward!" Ikkaku goes on the offensive again. However, instead of dodging or blocking, Goku just stands there.
Sakura screams out for Goku to get out of the way. Ikkaku while sprinting to Goku's position, figures out on why he isn't moving or putting up his guard. As Ikkaku approaches his position, Goku does an afterimage, leaving Ikkaku wide open for an attack. Ikkaku realizes too late as Goku comes from the side and kicks him, launching Ikkaku to the outside of the ring. Ikkaku lands outside of the ring, declaring Goku the winner.
"Winner Son Goku! What an amazing fight! Too bad that Ikkaku lost with a ring out but what an amazing fight! Can't wait to see more of it?" yelled the announcer as the crowd went wild in cheer including Sakura, Kakashi and Roshi. Goku grinned with his usual Son grin and his right hand in the sign of victory.
Meanwhile, Ma Junior watched the fight from a far, floating in the air. He came down to the ground since his fight was next but as he walked, he was evilly grinning as his plan was coming to fruition.
Chapter 13: "The Key"
"Son Goku has won! Despite his tiny body, he possesses unbelievable strength! Kuririn, from match #1, who sports the same uniform, was also quite the powerhouse! Just what is it with these kids?" said the announcer as the crowd went wild with cheers after the match was over between Goku and Ikkaku.
Ikkaku went up to Goku and put out his hand. "That was a great match Son Goku," said Ikkaku with a smile.
Goku with his Son grin said while shaking the hand of his former opponent, "It really was! Maybe we can fight again later on in the future."
Ikkaku smiled. "I would like that. Next time though I will be the winner."
Goku grinned as both of them continued to shake hands. "Incredible," said the announcer, "what a show of good sportsmanship. I hope that we get to see more that in the upcoming fights! Now I'd like a moment to interview these two! Kuririn come to the stage!"
Kuririn came out and stood next to Goku as the announcer walked up to them. "You got lucky Goku, hehehe," said a smiling Kuririn. "I can't wait to fight you."
Goku nodded in response with his Son grin. "My, my, you two really did great in your matches! Congratulations!" said the announcer into the microphone. "You're so small, and yet so strong! Kuririn, you're 13 years old aren't you?" Kuririn nodded. "Good and how about you Son Goku? How old are you?"
The announcer then pointed the microphone in front of Goku's face for him to talk but Goku looked at thing with a dumbfounded face. "What?" he asked, "Are you giving this to me?"
"Idiot!" yelled Kuririn in embarrassment. "This is a microphone! It's a machine that makes your voice bigger!"
Goku turned his head to the side with a dumbfounded face and response, "Ehh?" The crowd went wildly laughing at the antics of Goku.
"Hahahaha," laughed the announcer. "It seems like everyone enjoyed that little gag of yours there!"
"Don't embarrass yourself up here!" yelled a blushing Kuririn. "Just answer the question!"
Goku nodded and started to count with his fingers. "Um…mmm…9…10…11…12…12!"
"12?" asked Kuririn. "Didn't you say 14 earlier?"
"Heheheheh!" smiled Goku as he put his hands behind his head. "I don't really know how to count, but then Iruka-sensei taught me how earlier! 12 comes after 11!" The crowd went laughing loudly due to the antics of Goku. However, his teammates didn't think it was funny. Sakura was blushing with embarrassment. She clenched her fist in rage in that the next time she sees him, she will pulverize him. Sasuke was also blushing with embarrassment, thinking that how a loser like Goku could be a shinobi or even a fighter?
"Hohoh!" said the announcer. "Then the youngest fighter in this tournament is Son Goku!"
"What? Goku, you are younger than me!" yelled Kuririn in the microphone.
"But you're shorter than me, Kuririn!" Goku responded back. The crowd continued to laugh loudly.
"You guys are not doing this on purpose right?" said the announcer when he approached the two boys, thinking that this was some kind of game to them. For God's sake it was a martial arts tournament, not a comedy club! As the laughter died down, the announcer cleared his throat as he was about to speak. "Um, you two are wearing the same uniform, right? Just what dojo do you come from?"
"We don't come from a dojo, actually!" replied Kuririn. "Goku is a shinobi but we were trained by Muten Roshi!"
"Muten Roshi!" yelled the announcer as did everyone in the crowd. Those who follow the martial arts known that Muten Roshi is a great martial artists. Murmurs were heard in the crowd.
"Muten Roshi!"
"They were trained by Muten Roshi?"
"So that's why they're so awesome!"
"The Muten Roshi, which is said to be the god of martial arts?" asked the announcer, making sure that he heard correctly.
"Yes," replied Kuririn. "He said he wasn't taking disciples anymore, but made an exception. Goku trained earlier than me but he still trained under him as well." Goku nodded to the comment.
"Amzaing!" yelled the announcer. "Unbelievable! These two boys were trained by Muten Roshi himself! Now I know why they're so strong!" In the crowd, under careful disguise, Roshi blushed a bit with a smile of pride. "And it's even more amazing to know he's still alive!" Roshi fell back in anime style by the comment. Kakashi and Sakura sweatdropped at Roshi's antics.
The announcer continued, "Now, Kuririn…Match #5 is about to start, are you prepared? Ma Junior is super strong, but since you're a disciple of Muten Roshi, it shouldn't be too much for you, right?"
"Y-yes!" stuttered Kuririn. "That's right!" He blushed with pride, thinking that he could win.
"Alright then!" yelled the announcer in the microphone. "It is finally time for the semi-final round, starting with match #5! Ma Junior, please come to the stage!"
As soon as he heard the announcement, Kuririn started to tremble a bit with fear. He knew that Ma Junior was strong but could he actually win against such an opponent? "Kuririn." Kuririn looked up and saw Goku with his Son grin. "I know you can win."
Kuririn smiled. "Thanks Monkey boy."
"You better win so I can fight you in the finals," responded Goku. Kuririn nodded and Goku went back to the gate where he could watch the match from the fence. As he walked underneath the arch, Ma Junior came into picture. Goku stopped in mid-step as he looked at Kuririn's opponent, trying to figure out how powerful he was.
"Ma Junior has arrived!" said the announcer. "Now then, let us begin the next round!" The announcer got off the stage so the two fighters could have a peacefully and uninterrupted match. The crowd watched with anxiety. Both opponents were strong…very strong. The stadium was quiet. Kakashi, Sakura and especially Roshi watched with nervousness. Roshi was still trying to figure out who this Ma Junior was and why did he come here. Kuririn got into his fighting stance while Ma Junior had his arms crossed, looking intently at Kuririn. It was the calm before the storm.
"Let the match begin!" yelled the announcer and the bell was rung.
"HAAAAHHHH!" yelled Kuririn as he launched forward in a sprint towards his opponent with a punch. Ma Junior went to the side, dodging it. Kuririn continued to push forward with his punches but wasn't hitting anything. However, one punch came close to Ma Junior and he jumped back to put some distance between him and Kuririn. But Kuririn wasn't going down that easily. He launched a few kicks to Ma Junior's upper body but Ma Junior kept dodging them. All the while, his arms were still folded but he waited…waited for the counterattack.
But Kuririn wasn't going to let that happen as he continued his attack at faster speeds. Ma Junior continued to dodge but barely this time until finally…
"DEEEHHHHHH!" yelled Kuririn as he launched his punch forward causing Ma Junior to block it with his hand.
"GERRGH," said the green man as he pushed off Kuririn, separating the two warriors. The green man flexed his hand as he looked at Kuririn. "Well now, this is interesting. You caused me to use my hand."
"Heheheh," smiled the bald warrior. "Next time the punch will land on your face."
"Ha! I doubt it but intriguing. I want to test your skill little man," responded Ma Junior. "I'm going to use only my feet, no hands. Let's see if you can break through that then."
"Ok," replied Kuririn, "but you are going to have use them in a few seconds." Kuririn was ready to make his first move. He sprinted from the ground and dashed at such a quick pace. He hurled towards the green man and executed a straight punch, but Ma Junior blocked it with brown boots.
The green man switched to offensive mode and delivered penetrating, several kicks. Kuririn dodged and evaded all of those moves by just back-flipping many times. As soon the green man gave a claw strike with his left foot, Kuririn jumped in mid-air, about to give a powerful stomp, but once again Ma Junior avoided the upcoming attack. Ma Junior, once again, then delivered multiples of various kicks without using his hands and Kuririn continued to escape from all of those. The green man executed a quick sidekick, but the former Orin temple monk jumped in air and countered with a straight punch. The relentless green man swayed his whole body to evade his blows.
Kuririn turned to offensive mode and delivered unique kicks. Front kicks, sidekicks, roundhouse kicks, axe kicks, and everything else that he learned from Muten Roshi. Almost all of the time, Kuririn delivered quick sidekicks and tried to strike Ma Junior all over his body, but the green man managed to evade all of his strikes by just tilting his head and moving his whole body.
As soon Kuririn boosted up his speed, to execute quicker sidekicks, Ma Junior gave an evil grin and countered with side-step, causing his cape to be crashed by Kuririn.
"GAAAAGGHHH!" yelled Kuririn as he tried to escape from the cape until finally he jumped backwards and faced his green opponent. He got back into his fighting position and launched himself forward.
Every attack they executed, they always had a counterattack to it. Both of these fearless warriors created radical shockwaves. Kuririn quickly delivered speedy kicks and driver punches to his opponent, but Ma Junior continued to block it and evade all of his upcoming strikes and blows.
Kuririn decided to perform combinations of various punches blows to his opponent's face. As soon he executed his last punch, Ma Junior ducked down and did a swinging kick, causing Kuririn to trip. However, he was able to regain his balance by landing on one foot and launching himself into the air to begin anew his attacks.
Ma Junior countered all of Kuririn's attacks with multiples of kick techniques smack Kuririn whole body, but Kuririn dodged all of those moves and then turned to offensive mode. He countered and created various punches and kick techniques. Ma Junior continued to block all of his upcoming moves. As soon Kuririn performed his last strike, the green man found an opening and quick as a flash, kicked Kuririn very hard and into the wall, destroying it.
The crowd was silent. As soon as Kuririn came out of the rubble, the crowd went wild with cheer. This was becoming very exciting to watch. "Amazing! Simply amazing!" yelled the announcer. "What an incredible battle and at such speeds! Who will win this fight?"
Kuririn and Ma Junior continued to stare at each other. Kuririn, knowing that he had little time, tried to think of a strategy to defeat his opponent. Man, he thought to himself, this guy is tough. I gotta do something or else he'll do the same thing again. If only I could…wait that's it! Why didn't I think of it before? Kuririn smiled and got into a sprinting position. Ma Junior curiously stared at his opponent, wondering what the little man had planned. Only I saw twice and I saw Goku do it so if he can do it, so can I! Then suddenly, Kuririn disappeared, leaving an afterimage behind.
"WHAT!" yelled everyone, surprised that another person was able to perform that move…the Afterimage technique! Ma Junior was caught by surprised. He didn't think that Kuririn could perform such a move by only watching three times. Then again…
"HYAAAH!" Kuririn took this chance to perform a sneaky, surprise attack.
He delivered a surprising sidekick to Ma Junior's face which caused for him to be blown away. Kuririn then turned to offensive and battered the green man's stomach by performing multiples of straight and driver punches and blows. Ma Junior could feel the pain running inside of him as if thousands of needles were piercing into his flesh. Kuririn then delivered powerful front kicks, speedy sidekicks, and also quick jabs to every part of Ma Junior's body.
"HYAH! KYAH! HYAH! HYAH!" Kuririn vigorously yelled.
"AUGH! AUGH! GWAAH!" Ma Junior grunted in agony.
Kuririn continued to strike him at his utmost limits. Ma Junior's temper rose up and he became angry. He then had no choice, but to perform a hard-knuckled punch to Kuririn's face.
The bald warrior got blown away, but regained his balance easily. Ma Junior breathed heavily and tried to catch his breath. Kuririn was kind of shocked a bit.
"Hah, well, I see. So you do need to use your hands after all," commented Kuririn, panting.
Ma Junior tried to relax himself as he panted for air, "Well, humph. Fine no more deals."
Kuririn positioned himself in his fighting position once again as the crowd cheered. Everyone was excited by the result of this match. Goku was the most adamant about this fight. His blood was boiling by this awesome display of fighting. He couldn't wait for his turn to fight.
Ma Junior stood up and stared at Kuririn. "You have been fighting extremely well but I am afraid that this match is over."
"What do you mean?" asked Kuririn.
"I have been holding back a lot of power boy. I have been only using 50% of my true power especially my speed being slow as a result of being tied down by these weighted clothes," said Ma Junior.
Kuririn and everyone in the crowd were taken back. "What? Your bluffing!" yelled Kuririn. Ma Junior started to take off his cape and his turban. He threw them to the ground, causing it to be cracked. The crowd stood in awe by the weight of the clothes as the announcer went over to check to see if the clothes were really weighted as he said. The announcer then tried to lift the clothes and couldn't.
Everyone in the crowd, including Sakura, Sasuke and Goku as well as Kakashi and Roshi whom were the most worried at the moment. Both of them were amazed at not only at the weights but at the fact that Ma Junior was stronger than he was letting on. Kakashi wanted to make sure that Ma Junior's comment wasn't true so he lifted his hitai-ate to reveal his sharingan eye. Using the eye, Kakashi examined thoroughly and came with the result that Ma Junior wasn't lying. His power had increased, but by how much?
Roshi started to sweat nervously, hoping that Kuririn won't be hurt or even killed. Kuririn, unaware by the increase of power that Ma Junior, had continued to think that Ma Junior was bluffing and started to think of ways to defeat his opponent. But his decision was taken by when Ma Junior went on the offensive.
Ma Junior disappeared out of sight quickly which caused for Kuririn lose his focus. His speed was so great that Kuririn wasn't able track the green man's movements anymore. Shockingly, Ma Junior executed a devastating elbow strike to Kuririn's chin which caused for blood to spurt out from his lips. Ma Junior was very silent and deadly. Kuririn didn't groaned in terrible pain, yet he felt it rushing through his body.
Kuririn almost fell and tripped, but regained his balance. His nose started to bleed. What's this? I can't see him at all. I can't keep up with his speed!
The green man then teleported behind Kuririn and gave him a sweeping kick. Kuririn, again, almost fell, but recuperated his balance by placing his left hand on the ground for a safe landing. But Ma Junior quickly counterattacked; he grabbed Kuririn's neck to suffocate him. Then the green man delivered a petrifying elbow strike to Kuririn's chest. Ma Junior let him go and let him suffer.
"AUGH! NGH…AUGH…" moaned Kuririn as he went down onto the stage.
"DOWN! Kuririn is down!" yelled the announcer. "The count has begun! One…two…three…four…"
It seemed that Kuririn was down for the count until a voice boomed throughout the stadium. "Stand up Kuririn!" It was Goku who yelled. "You're gonna lose! C'mon, fight!"
"Five…six…seven…eight," said the announcer.
Kuririn tried to get up as he looked up and saw that Ma Junior was standing over him ominously. Kuririn regain his composure and stood up before the countdown was over.
"He's up! He has stood up!" yelled the announcer as the crowd went wild with cheer. "Amazing! Absolutely unbelievable! Fighting at such amazing speeds! This match is turning out to be one of the greatest fights that I have ever seen!"
Kuririn, while moving drunkly around, tried to figure how he could at least get the playing field at equal. He got into his fighting position, ready to strike. He then tried to trick Ma Junior by doing an afterimage, then quickly deliver a sidekick, but Ma Junior disappeared out of sight. He teleported behind Kuririn and gave two shocking sweep kicks which caused Kuririn to almost lose his balance. The green man laid flat on the ruined stage and Kuririn took his chance to strike him with a quick jab. The bald warrior tried to do his move quickly, but Ma Junior vanished out of sight once again. He reappeared several feet away from the bald warrior. Kuririn got confused, but still took the risk. He was about to give him a punch, but the green man managed to evade it and countered with a turning sidekick.
Kuririn was blown away and into another part of the wall. He quickly pushed off the rubble and dashed ahead to Ma Junior. He reappeared in front of Ma Junior, but Ma Junior quickly executed a punch to his cheek. Kuririn regained his balance as soon as possible and started to deliver strikes and blows to his opponent. Somehow, the green was able to dodge and evade all of his worthless moves. As soon Kuririn delivered his last punch, the green man countered with an elbow strike of his own. As the bald warrior was being blown away once again, Ma Junior knee striked Kuririn on his back, sending up into the air. Ma Junior then jumped and executed a back fist to Kuririn's face, sending him hard onto the stage.
BOOM!
A small crater was formed on the stage and some dust was created from the crash. Kuririn was able to stand up before almost losing consciousness. Ma Junior came down using his Bukujutsu and landed softly on the stage.
"It's about time that we ended this match. This is getting boring," said Ma Junior.
Kuririn tried to reclaim his breath as he spoke, "What?" Dammit! Kuririn said to himself, this guy is way too powerful but I won't be defeated here! I can't! But what I need is power! More power! Kuririn clenched his fists in anger, knowing that he didn't have enough power to defeat Ma Junior. But as he clenched his fists in anger, pebbles on the ground began to rise up into the air. A ki aura was starting to form around Kuririn. His six dots began to shine brightly and slowly were forming into some Japanese characters that said 'KEY.'
Everyone in the crowd stood in awe at Kuririn's display including Sakura, Sasuke, Goku and even Kakashi. "What is going with Kuririn Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura, hoping to get some answers.
But Kakashi didn't say anything. He had no answers right now. But as he turned his head, he saw Roshi clenching his teeth and sweating nervously. "Roshi, what's wrong?"
"Dammit!" replied Roshi. He started to move forward but was stopped when he looked at Ma Junior's face. The green man was grinning evilly. Then it hit him! This green man had planned this along! "Dammit!" cursed Roshi as he tried to navigate through the crowd and get closer to the stage without drawing attention.
Goku and Sasuke looked at the display that Kuririn was putting on and were amazed. Kuririn, himself was also amazed but he was too focused on his anger that he lost sight of his focus. He charged forward towards Ma Junior. At the last minute, Ma Junior was able to block Kuririn full attacked punch. Before this could get out of hand though, Ma Junior karate chopped Kuririn's neck, knocking him unconscious. The aura disappeared.
"What just happened?" said the announced, still in awe on Kuririn's display.
Ma Junior picked up Kuririn and put him on his shoulders. He then put on an evil grin on his face and started to laugh evilly. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The crowd stood dumbfounded as to why the green man was laughing.
"Mister Ma Junior, what is so funny?" asked the announcer.
"I finally have found it! The key!" yelled Ma Junior.
"Ma Junior, what key? What are you talking about?"
"Fool! My name is not Ma Junior…it's Piccolo!" yelled the newly named green man. "I have finally found the key to revive the great Demon Lord Slug! All you mortals shall bow before Lord Slug! HAHAHAHA!"
The crowd was silent. However, they didn't get into a panic since they didn't know who this 'Lord Slug' until an old man spoke up, "OH NO! We are doomed!"
"What do you mean old man?"
"Lord Slug was the one who almost destroyed this part of the continent in the dark times 30 years ago!"
"Wait wasn't that the Shichibi Doragon who did that?"
"No you fool," yelled the panicked old man, "It wasn't the Shichibi Doragon who did that! It was Slug!"
"I remember him!" yelled another old man. "He was terrible! We are doomed!" The crowd then started to panic. Sakura and Kakashi were caught up by this old man's tale and looked around for Roshi when they noticed that he disappeared. That is, until they saw him on the stage, staring at Piccolo.
"You won't get away with this Piccolo," said the serious Roshi.
"I already have old man," responded Piccolo. "Drum! Cymbal! Tambourine! Come out!"
From the crowd there came out three mysterious figures and onto the stage. These three figures took off their robes and revealed themselves. All of them were green however each one was a different size and had a different face. Cymbal looked like a dinosaur and was fat, but not as a fat as Drum was. Tambourine was the skinniest out of the three. "Cymbal," Piccolo said, "do it!"
"Yes sir!" spoke Cymbal as he started to do a hand sign and yelled out, "Hidden Mist Jutsu!" A heavy fog started to pick up in the stadium, covering up Piccolo and his gang.
"Wait! Come back here! Give back Kuririn!" Goku yelled as he got onto the stage and rushed ahead to where Piccolo was, ready to rescue Kuririn. He was nowhere to be found. "Dammit!" Goku cursed and before deciding where to go, Roshi went in front of him and ran ahead towards a direction. Goku decided to follow Roshi since he probably knew where they were heading.
Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke then got onto the stage. "Where is Goku?" asked Kakashi.
"He went on ahead with Roshi," said Sasuke.
"Then let's follow him…and quickly," said a serious Kakashi. The two shinobi nodded and went running towards the direction in which Goku and Roshi went off to.
After a few minutes of running through the forest, Goku was able to catch up with Roshi and the rest of Squad seven as well.
"Dammit to hell!" cursed Goku as he started to pull away from the group by going on ahead.
"Wait Goku!" yelled Roshi. Goku slowed his speed for a bit.
"Why? They got Kuririn! I have to save him!"
"I know but you are not strong enough to face Piccolo," said Roshi with a serious face as he took off his sunglasses.
"What do you mean Roshi-sensei?" asked Sakura. Roshi was silent.
"There is something behind this kidnapping then?" asked Kakashi.
Roshi was still silent until finally he spoke, "Yes."
"What happened?" asked Kakashi.
"30 years ago, this side of the continent was almost wiped out by the Demon Lord Slug!"
"WHAT?" yelled everyone.
"So what that old man was saying true then," said Sasuke.
"Yes," said Roshi with a heavy voice. "The Demon Lord Slug was truly an evil creature who was fearsome and very powerful. He conjured a brood of monsters from within himself, and in a moment they transformed a world of peace into a world of death. Back then, I had tried to stop him from causing more destruction, but I was no match. Not even my master, Lord Mutaito was able to beat as well."
"Then how was he defeated then?" asked Kakashi.
"My master could not bear to allow Slug to twist and turn the world according to his whim. If he was left unchecked, the world as we know it would be destroyed," replied Roshi. "So Lord Mutaito devised a great attack…the 'Mafu-ba.' The Demon seal! With it he was able to trap the Great Demon Lord behind a mystic scroll in a temple located in the Land of Peas. But doing so, he gave his life as a sacrifice."
"Then what does Kuririn have to do with this old man?" yelled Goku.
"I'm getting there Goku! The only way to break the seal is to use the same ki as the caster," said Roshi.
"But didn't Lord Muitato die? Isn't that what you said?" said Sakura.
"Yes, but he had a son who had the same kind of ki as Lord Muitato who was an Orin temple priest at the time," said Roshi. "The ki is genetic and thus when Muitato used the Mafu-ba, the key to the seal appeared on the son's body. No one knew about this until some priests realized what the characters meant. They didn't want to go through the suffering and pain again so they wanted to make the bearer of the key life as miserable as possible. They came to this decision 13 years ago…when Kuririn was born."
Everyone flinched, especially Goku. Everyone was silent Goku looked down in sadness as he remembered when growing up; people were making his life very miserable and had even tried to kill him. Kuririn went through the same life, the same pain, the same ordeals. No wonder Kuririn had put up such a strong front. He…
"He was alone," spoke Goku.
"Yes," responded Roshi with a hint of sadness in his voice. "He was bullied very badly and some had tried to kill him. I had to take him away from there."
"So you could protect him," said Kakashi. "That is why you asked us to protect you and not the boy. To not draw suspicion to himself."
"That is correct," responded Roshi. "I'm sorry for this but you can turn back if you want to. You are not required to come along with me. It is my fault for this mess. If only I had realized this sooner."
"We are not turning back." Roshi looked up to direction in where the voice came from. It was from Goku. "We are going to save Kuririn, right Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi nodded. "Sorry to disappoint you Muten Roshi but we are coming along for the ride."
Roshi smiled, "Thank you." And thank you Goku. You may be the only one to save Kuririn.
Demon Temple in the Land of Peas
"W-what…what is going?" asked Kuririn as he started to wake up. He tried to move his arms but he couldn't and saw that his hands were tied as well as his legs. "Shit! What the hell is going on here?"
"You finally woke up," said a booming voice. Kuririn turned his head to see Piccolo standing over him.
"What the hell do you want?" yelled Kuririn.
SMACK!
Kuririn was punched in the face hard by Piccolo. "Shut up you worm! I don't want to hear your pathetic voice! Your role is to be the key."
"The 'key'? What 'key'? What are you talking about?" asked Kuririn remembering that before passing out that Piccolo had mentioned about a key. The green man started to laugh evilly.
"You don't get it do you? You're the key in reviving the Great Demon Lord Slug!" said Piccolo.
"I don't get it," responded back Kuririn but somehow the words made some sense in a way.
"All those times that people gave you that look, tried to be nice to you, tried to kill and make your life miserable? It was because of who you are! Your ki is the tool necessary to revive the Demon Lord."
"Then that means that…everyone thought that I was the Demon Lord," said Kuririn as he realized what those words meant. All those harsh times at the temple, all those people acting nice and then stabbing in the back by trying to kill him, it was all because he was the 'key.' Kuririn broke down crying. He was alone. No one cared for him. No one was his friend. Not even Goku. All of them knew that he was monster and just tried to be nice with him so they could kill later.
"Oh shut up!" yelled Piccolo as he punched Kuririn in the gut causing him to spew out some bile. "I don't want to hear your crying. It's annoying. But I will ease your pain when the process is done causing you to die. HAHAHAHAHAH!"
Kuririn didn't fight back anymore. He didn't care if he lived or die. He would prefer death more than living now knowing that he was a monster. He was alone.
Piccolo walked away to get started on breaking the seal however he was interrupted when Tambourine came in. "My lord!"
"What is it Tambourine?"
"Muten Roshi and the shinobi are outside the temple!"
"What? Stop them, don't let them get near here especially Muten Roshi!"
"Yes sir!"
Outside the Temple
The group had arrived at the Demon temple. But before they could even start on a plan of strategy, Goku rushed in ahead, screaming out, "I'm coming to save you Kuririn! Just hang on!"
Will Goku and the gang be able to stop Piccolo's evil plan or will Kuririn succumb to the darkness? Find out on the next chapter of "Goku's New Adventure!"
