Hi guys! I'm here with the next chapter. Sorry guys if the fighting scenes aren't that great. I'm not really good at writing them, that's why I try to make them short. But hope you guys like it! And I'd like to thank everybody that has read, fav, and followed. You guys are great! So, let's get right to it.
I don't own db/z or characters, they belong to Akira Toriyama.
One more to go
" You got this down Chichi!"
Two days had finally past by. Chichi was getting the training of a life time with Goku and Turles. She was exhausted for sure but she had to do it. As she leans forward and places her hands on her knees, she says " Yeah, I'm starting to see all kind of different things now. It feels like I'm getting the hang of this."
Goku straightens up and looks over at his brother. Turles was sitting on the ground cross-legged. " Good job Kakarot, you seemed to have showed her more today than yesterday. Looks like this will be it for the training."
Goku sits on the ground as he sighs " Yeah I guess so. I mean we are on the third day. I thought Bulma wasn't going to let us do this in the morning."
" After what you told her two days ago about you two together, I'm not surprised. I still can't believe everyone's reaction."
Goku chuckles as he looks up. " Yeah, Bulma was jumping up and down, Raditz couldn't believe it, and Vegeta went on about how dumb I was to be hooking up with Chichi. But, it didn't go as back as I thought."
" Yes, a fight breaking out wouldn't have been good."
" Guys it's time to head out! I finished both the locators!" They all heard Bulma shout out from her home.
Chichi and the other two head over to her.
Chichi is the first to tell Bulma that she wanted to go wash up first. Bulma told her to be quick because they were going to be leaving soon. Chichi runs in, passing Vegeta by as he walked out.
" Woman, I thought you told me we were leaving right now. How come that girl is going back in?"
" It's none of your business. Now come over here so I can explain how to use this."
" I don't need for you to explain. I will be with you anyways." Vegeta sees Bulma narrowing her eyes at him. " Fine, whatever go lean up against a tree or something."
Vegeta glares back at her, but does as she says. He sits down on the ground, looking away.
" Anyways, so you guys this device has four buttons on the side and one in the middle. Let me explain it in the most simple way possible. The first is to turn it on, the second is to give your specific location, the third is to send an alert in case something happens and the forth is to call. This middle button don't touch. If you do, it'll restart everything I programmed it to do. Got it?"
All of them nod, as Bulma hands one of the locators to Turles. " I'm going to give this to you for now. When Chichi finishes, give it to her. Whenever a fight breaks out, always keep somebody on the side with this."
" Yes I understand. I'm not clueless like Kakarot." Turles says as Goku frowns at his brother. " Hey! I'm not dumb."
" Yes you are!" Vegeta shouts from the spot he's in, as the rest laugh.
" All right, enough with all this talking. We're going to head out now. We don't actually have a reason to stay and waste valuable time. Give that clone all you got guys!" Bulma gives Turles and Goku a pat on the shoulder.
She and Raditz head over to where Vegeta was sitting and Bulma waves good bye to the the two. " Make sure to tell Chichi to click on the yellow button of my Capsule home. That will make it turn back into a capsule."
" Sure thing Bulma. See ya!" Goku says to her as Vegeta picks her up, as he and Raditz fly off.
Turles and Goku both look at each other. " I think we should clean up as well before going."
" I guess we could. Chichi hasn't finished yet after all." Goku was about to run off when Turles pulls him by the shoulder.
" Wait, we'll take turns. One has to stay here protecting the earth girl."
" Okay, well I'll go first then." Goku runs off as Turles is left by himself.
He looks down at the device in his hand. To think they were finally going to finish this huge mess. He and his brothers were going to have their normal lives back. Others won't be scared to leave their homes. Oh yeah, things were definitely about to change big time.
With Bulma and the others:
" You guys really want to get this over with don't you?" Bulma asked as Vegeta gives her a look.
" Of course! Who would want to be taking all day searching for a clone? Clearly I wouldn't want that. I don't know if you and this big oaf would."
Raditz gives him an angry look. " You should not be trying to cause an argument with me. Our focus should be on beating that clone. Oh but I'll have lots of fun beating that thing up if it's your replica."
" Of course you would. Because you know you can't place a finger on me." Vegeta smirks as Raditz growls.
" Cut it out! Focus, we need to finish this quickly to go find the others after. I have a bad feeling that the others will need both of your help."
" Turles and Kakarot needing us to help them? Haha, surely they will. They are nothing in comparison to me." Vegeta says proudly as Bulma narrows her eyes at him. " You really need to get off that cloud you're on."
" Look up ahead, I see a village." Raditz points out at a small village that was near.
" How about we look there first? And maybe ask around to see if anybody has witnessed anything unusual." Bulma says as Vegeta and Raditz quickly lower down.
Vegeta lowers his arms for Bulma to get up on her feet. She quickly takes out the locator from her pocket and presses the first button. It turns on and begins to beep. She looks at Raditz and Vegeta as she puts the locator into her pocket.
" Okay, so we'll go in there and ask around for any signs of one of the clones. There's bound to be somebody that has seen one of them."
She walks off ahead of the others as Raditz's asks Vegeta " Why is she using that device? Can't we just sense each others powers to find the others?"
Vegeta places a hand on his forehead. " I know that you dimwit. I just don't want to have this woman screeching nonstop about us not valuing the effort she made making that thing."
Raditz scratches his chin and says " You have a point there. If something happens then we'll have to track the rest by sensing their powers. I'll try my best not to say a word. I don't want to hear her having another of her huge fits."
" Yes, for once you agree. Now let's get this done quick. I don't want to waste a lot of time."
Vegeta and Raditz begin to speed walk to catch up to Bulma, who was concentrated in the locator. Each went on either side of her, as they proceeded to walk until they got to the village. Bulma looked at the place a bit surprised. She hadn't seen this place before. Vegeta and Raditz crossed their arms over their chests. Their facial reactions remained the same.
" Wow you guys, I don't have any records of this place. Do you know where we are?"
" This is a regular village compared to the other odd places. If I'm correct, it's called Valrica. This place is known for helping one another out." Raditz says as Bulma tilts her head. " Well isn't that something? Guess it won't be so tough to start a conversation."
" That's another thing about this place. They don't respond so nicely to strangers." Raditz explains as Bulma rolls her eyes. " Well that's just great. Got any ideas on how we can talk to someone without a fight breaking out? Cause we really don't have the time for that."
" We know that woman. The only thing that I can think about is if you start the talks. They might respond differently to you in comparison to us." Vegeta offers as Bulma quickly looks at him with her mouth open. " Oh so you're thinking about offering me around to everyone? What kind of boyfriend would offer his girl up like that? Unbelievable!"
" I didn't say that! You are mad at thinking that I would think such a thing! All you are going to do is talk. You understand?" Vegeta glares right at Bulma. " You will not use those flirtatious tactics on them. I forbid it."
Bulma's face quickly changes as she smirks at the Saiyan. " Thanks Dad for telling me that. As if I would actually do such a thing."
Raditz was so glad he wasn't in a relationship with anyone. Just seeing how these two bicker around made his head hurt. Nope, he had complete freedom to do everything he wanted.
" Ugh let's just get this done with. I'll go ask around while you guys stay a few feet away." Bulma starts to make herself over to the market that was taking place.
She goes up to a booth and begins to ask. The man shakes his head as Bulma moved to another stand. The woman shakes her head head also. And so on and so on. Bulma starts to scratch her head frustrated. This wasn't going a well as she thought. How was it possible that nobody had seen that clone? If that was the case, that clone was very hidden. She goes again to another booth. She sees someone with a dark cloak on that covered their head. They were on top of a table in a meditating position. Bulma had the urge to not speak to the person but decided to do it.
" Um hello, I wanted to ask if you had seen someone odd walking around these parts?"
The cloaked person speaks up and asked " Could you be more specific?"
The person had the voice of a man. Bulma shivered at the tone of his voice. It sounded dark and low.
" Oh I uh, they have purple eyes and look somewhat like a Saiyan."
The cloaked person smirks at Bulma as he begins to remove the head piece of his cloak slowly. At seeing him, Bulma gawked at what she saw. The guy looked identical to Vegeta except with shorter hair. His skin color was more tan and his eyes were a piercing violet shade.
" Your description sounds like me. Except I wouldn't consider myself odd per say." He says as he hops off the table he was sitting on. He stares at her and begins to crack his knuckles.
" So, why are you searching for this person? Have they done anything to you?"
Bulma was speechless, and began to back away slowly. He manages to say " Guys…I think you should see this."
Raditz and Vegeta were too busy looking at a few things from a stand to notice the person in front of Bulma. When they hear Bulma, they look over at her. Their eyes widen at seeing the guy. Vegeta's face turned furious as he dashed over to them. Raditz followed behind as his eyes narrow.
" Well if it isn't the clone we have been looking for. Heh, this was much easier than I thought." Vegeta stands in front of Bulma.
The guy raises his eyebrows and says " I don't understand what you are saying. I am a regular person as you all. I also don't mean any harm. This girl was the one that spoke to me."
" Don't give me that crap! You are the clone! You're just trying to manipulate us into thinking that you are normal."
The guy begins to slowly clap his hands. " Good work on assuming that. You want me to give you a medal or something?"
Vegeta feels the urge to shut this guy up with one punch. Raditz places a hand on his shoulder. Vegeta tries to keep calm as he breathes out. He removes Raditz's hand from his shoulder.
" Go on, tell us who you are then."
The guy reaches over to grab Bulma's hand. " I am a gentleman that offers to help females with moving heavy objects. I would gladly help you ma'am."
Bulma shakes her head and says " No I don't need any help. Well if that's what you do, then explain why you look exactly like him."
" I have no idea. We just look similar." the guy says as a silver flame appears around his body. " Argh! You just blew up my cover!"
The guys stand in fighting position as Bulma runs behind them.
" I tried to fool you but I guess I couldn't." the clone looks around him as he says " Well you want this whole place to blow up? I can gladly do it before we begin."
" No let's take this elsewhere!" Raditz shouts as the clone shuts his eyes and begins to float up. " As you wish."
Vegeta picks Bulma up as she asks " This clone acts so much different compared to the others. This one seems human like."
Vegeta spits aside as he glares up at it. " Yes, but it wasn't going to fool me. What a disappointment if you actually believed it."
Bulma pouts as she looks away. " I didn't believe it at all for your info."
" Yes of course." Vegeta shakes his head and flies faster.
Once they got away from the village, they land down onto the ground. Bulma gets out of Vegeta's arms as she moves away from them. Raditz and Vegeta glare at the clone.
" Why don't we start this? By the looks you're giving me, you can't wait." the clone rolls it's head as he places his hands on his hip.
Raditz looks over at the clone. This was so strange. It didn't feel like they were about to battle an enemy. The clone was so human-like.
" Would you like to take the honor of starting this out?" the clone asks Vegeta as Vegeta smirks at it. " Yes, I'll finish this up in one hit."
The clone chuckles as it stands still. " Go ahead and give it your best."
Vegeta growls as he charges towards the copy. He hits the copy right in the stomach but it doesn't flinch. The copy looks down at the shocked Vegeta as he laughs.
" That was your best hit? Ha, I didn't even feel it. Some strength you have you small monkey."
Vegeta immediately starts to throw punch after punch as the clone stayed in the same position. The clone yawns out loud as he pushes Vegeta back with full force from one of its hands. Vegeta is sent flying back in seconds. Raditz and Bulma stood in shock. That thing just threw Vegeta back with no effort.
" This has definitely got serious. Vegeta isn't weak to be flung back like that. You guys have to be on guard and come up with a strategy. Work as a team even if you guys don't like to."
" Yes I know, but I think you'll have to run it by Vegeta first. If I tell him that, he won't listen."
" Fine, I'll tell him." Bulma makes her way over to Vegeta who starts getting up. She repeats everything to Vegeta that she said to Raditz.
" You have to Vegeta. The both of you together could win this. Let that pride of yours go for once."
" I see you're getting some encouragement from the lady. How kind of her to do that. I have a feeling you are together. If that's the case, lets make a deal. If I win this, I get the pretty woman and if you win, well you get the chance of destroying me. How does that sound?"
" If that's your offer then I'll do it. You won't dare get near her. So I will win." Vegeta says as he motions Bulma to go back.
She runs far off as she see Raditz and Vegeta stand face to face with the clone.
" I thought I would never need to charge up this power. In this case I will." Vegeta begins to charge up his energy as a blue flame appears around his body.
Raditz does the same but nothing appears around him. For once Raditz would have liked to get a boost of energy from the Aura girl. Guess that wasn't going to happen. Once they finished up, they waste no time and charge at the clone. Bulma felt the ground shake underneath her from the powerful hits they were giving the clone. It was the first time she had seen Vegeta use this power. The blue flame remained on him. Hit after hit, this time Vegeta and Raditz were actually able to do damage.
'These guys have to win. If not, I need to have the locator handy to call the others.'
The others, she began to think what the others were going at this moment.
With Chichi and the others:
" Hey you two, this isn't the time to be going sight-seeing! Must I remind you that we have a clone to find."
Turles was so tired of his brother's stupid actions. He thought that Sarlyn was bad but now these two couldn't keep away from each other.
" Ah, calm down already Turles. We're just tryna enjoy the weather and all." Goku gives Chichi a kiss on the cheek as she smiles at him.
Turles looks at them annoyed. He didn't know if he was going to be able to deal with this for the remainder time they had. He crosses his arms behind his head as he senses something far away. He stops and sees Goku stopping as well.
" You feel that? Something must be going on." Goku sees Turles look up and say " I do, three sources of powerful energy and a faint one."
Goku's mouth opens as he says " Then that must mean that the other found the clone already! If they have then we better get searching more. Sorry Chi, but all this will have to wait."
" Don't worry, it's fine with me. The sooner we can get this over with, the better." Chichi gives him a thumbs up as Goku grins.
They all run together as Chichi activates her power. Her body covers up in a green flame as she sees different shades of color. Yellow, and blue were the ones she saw the most.
" There's nothing in this area. We should look somewhere different."
Goku picks Chichi up as he and Turles fly off.
With Bulma and the others:
Raditz and Vegeta were winning the fight against the clone. It had been a tough battle for sure. Both out of breath, Raditz grabs a hold of the clone as Vegeta uses it as a punching bag. Hit after hit, the clone was a complete bloody mess at this point. Raditz drops it down as Vegeta cleans his hands up.
" Serves you right you imbecile! You had tried to mock me but It didn't work out. Now I'm the one mocking you!" Vegeta laughs as the blue flame around his body disappears. " Throw that trash aside far from here and step aside. I will blow it up into pieces."
Raditz does as Vegeta says as he throws the body far off. Before it could land on the ground, Vegeta lets out a energy blast from his hand that covers the clone entirely. As the light from the blast vanishes, they see nothing but ashes of the body.
" Well now that we have accomplished this, lets go look for the others. I'm sure they probably haven't found anything yet." Vegeta looks over at Bulma who was busy doing something on the locator.
" Good work you two, I almost doubted that you were going to destroy that thing for a minute. Okay, so I have the location of the others. Let's go and find them."
Vegeta picks Bulma up again quickly as he and Raditz fly off in search of the others.
And that is it for this chapter! So there's only one more clone left for these guys to finish. Will they succeed? Stay tune to find out! I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible.
Please read and review!
