The many escapades of Zarbon: Volume Two

Zarbon is threatened with vengeance

Zarbon was over at Perfect Cell's arena out in the middle of nowhere as he, Cell, Shallot, and Kermit were entertaining two very familiar pro hero guests, Aizawa and Hizashi. "So yeah," Aizawa began, "Thanks to how we brought All For One back to life without most of his quirks, he and other villains have been way easier for pro heroes to deal with."

"And since we only used one wish," Cell added, "The second wish will roll over to the next time that we summon Shenron, giving us three wishes then."

Nodding along, Hizashi said, "Like a genie!"

Shallot held a hand to his chin, a look of contemplation on his face, as he remarked, "But what will we wish for with the three wishes that we will have the next time that we summon Shenron?"

"A new hot tub?" Kermit suggested.

"The Loud siblings would like some of their pets back," Zarbon pointed out.

Aizawa opened his mouth as if to speak, but he stopped short when a familiar, lispy male voice called out, "How about vengeance on that stupid assfuck who had allowed me to die?!" Everyone then turned to look as Minoru Mineta, currently a tall and muscular homunculus, came striding right on over to Cell's arena.

Zarbon and the others all stood ready to fight, with Kermit even going right into his buff form. "Mineta, please," Aizawa began pleading, "There's no need to drag things into violence here."

"Yeah, little listener," Hizashi said as he sounded like he was practically begging Mineta, "You really ought to listen to Sho here."

To the surprise, as well as mild worry, of the guys, Mineta gave off a soft chuckle, one that sounded both sinister and devious at the same time. "Oh, don't worry senseis, I won't be resorting to violence here. As a matter of fact, I won't be making use of any violence moving forward from this point."

The guys looked towards one another before they all turned their attention right back to Mineta. "You... aren't going to try to beat the absolute living hell out of me anymore?" Zarbon asked, rather suspicious as to what Mineta could be up to.

Chuckling once more, Mineta said, "It was technically never about beating you up, you fucking bastard. My ultimate goal of making you die is still in place."

"I thought that you said just now that you weren't going to be resorting to violence, Mineta," Aizawa pointed out.

Mineta chuckled again before saying, "Indeed I did. And I don't need to resort to violence to make the guy who had allowed me to die to drop dead himself." Pointing straight up, Mineta declared, "I'm going to gather up all of the Dragon Balls, used them to summon the wish granting dragon, and then wish for that idiot to die!"

"You can't abuse the power of the Dragon Balls like that!" Hizashi cried out, "It's not right!"

Turning to look at Hizashi, Mineta snapped, "And why not? I got it that the dragon can grant any wish provided that it's within his power to do so! If he can bring a dozen dead people back to life all at once while making modifications to some of them with just one wish, then surely he can make one person drop and stay dead!"

Shaking his head, Shallot said, "Mineta, we aren't saying that the dragon is incapable of granting your stated wish. As a matter of fact, it'd be one of the simplest, quickest wishes he'd grant." Gesturing to the enraged homunculus, Shallot explained, "What we're trying to say is that it would be morally wrong to use the dragon to wish Zarbon dead."

"Then what am I supposed to do?!" Mineta yelled, tears streaming down the sides of his face, "First a villain hits me with a quirk that makes me really fat, then I'm sent to a teen fat camp where that promiscuous idiot lets me fucking die, then I come back as a ghost of my fat self where that idiot haunts me more than I had haunted anyone else period, and then I end up getting channeled into a tall, buff homunculus body, only to be constantly denied even a pittance of revenge! My life's been given one hard, fucking pounding right in the ass!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!" Zarbon cried out in aroused, sensual pleasure.

"SHUT UP!" Mineta screamed at Zarbon, making him and the others flinch.

Calming down, Aizawa said, "How about we use the dragon to instead wish you to be restored to how your original body was before you got hit by that villain's quirk? As added incentive, we'll even let you combo breaker Zarbon in the genitals afterwards."

"...Fine, sounds good enough," Mineta replied, drawing cheers from everyone, even Zarbon who was just happy that Mineta was successfully negotiated with. Life, even with hurt genitals, beats death any day.

Author's notes;

Here we see a turning point in this ongoing arc, where Mineta is successfully negotiated with and plans to restore him using the Dragon Balls are being drawn up (now you see another reason why the Dragon Balls were introduced into the setting). But even though the conflict with Mineta is going to be drawn to a close, there's still some necessary investigation to do for follow up. But that will be later, as in the next escapade Zarbon will be dealing with a somber element related to war.
