Tambourine's Demise and Daisuke's Revenge

I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z

"Boy that's a big fire," Daisuke said as she watched Yajirobe cook Cymbal's corpse over a large fire. "What're you going to do with that thing?"

"What do you think? Eat it of course, a late breaktist," Yajirobe answered.

"Breaktist? What do you mean by that?" Daisuke asked, still confused at the word Yajirobe was using.

"Lunch, dinner and breaktist," he answered, looking back at her.

"I think you mean breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

"You're strange, and people say I'm primitive," Yajirobe responded, making Daisuke sweatdrop as she saw the samurai cut off a slice of meat from Cymbal's body and sniff it. "Delicious."

"Hold on, are you sure that is safe to eat?" Daisuke asked. "It could be poisonous."

"Why do you care, this is my meal not yours," Yajirobe told her before he opened his mouth and swallowed the chunk of cooked meat in one gulp. "Tastes like chicken," he said licking his lips when he saw Daisuke look at him. "What is it now?"

"Nothing, it's your stomach. Don't blame me if you get sick from eating that thing," she answered, and Yajirobe took Cymbal off the fire and began to devour the creature. "So….your name is Yajirobe?" she asked, making Yajirobe stop eating and look at her.

"Yeah, why got a problem with that too?" he asked with a mouth full of food before going back to his meal. Back on Pilaf's airship Piccolo had one finger touching his temple.

"Cymbal. Cymbal, answer me. Cymbal I command you hear my call and respond!" Despite his efforts, the Demon King received no reply from Cymbal. "It's over. Cymbal is no more, he's dead," he said grimly, making Piano gasp in sadness.

"I sympathise with your loss," Pilaf said chuckling nervously.

"He seemed like such a nice beast," Mai added as she, Pilaf, and Shu hung their heads.

"Silence you fools!" Piccolo bellowed making them cower in fear. "How could your feeble inadequate brains possibly comprehend how I feel!? He was of my own scales and blood, I gave him life watched him hatch and spit his first slime!"

"You're right, I couldn't begin to understand," Pilaf said soothingly.

"Exactly, Cymbal means nothing to us," Mai said before she gulped and Piccolo growled furiously at her, and her compatriots; all three were shaking in absolute terror. Down below in a small village by a river, two bears were sitting by the river with the larger bear holding a fishing pole in his hands. When the lure in the water was tugged and the boy alerted his father, the older bear quickly pulled the pole and a decent size fish came flying out of the water. As the two bears' eyes widened in delight, suddenly a large bipedal creature which looked like a pterosaur landed and grabbed the fish.

"Hey that's our fish!" the child bear told him, making the creature chuckle.

"If that is true little bear why is it in my hand?" he asked.

"Give it back, go and find your own food!" the young bear shouted.

"I already have," said the creature as it swallowed the fish whole making the rest of the village run into their houses.

"You can't just drop by and steal everyone's food whenever you feel like it, meanie," the child said making the creature laugh.

"Who is going to stop me, your daddy? When the fish runs out maybe I'll eat you and make a hat from your hide," he said cracking his knuckles. "Lights out!" he shouted throwing a punch but he stopped when he felt someone grab his tail and he turned his head to see Tambourine standing there holding his tail.

"Are you Giran?" he asked.

"What if I am?" the creature in question asked, making Tambourine smirk.

"You die," he said before jumping into the air. He kicked Giran in the face, knocking him to the ground as the two bears took cover.

"You are daring and very stupid," Giran told Tambourine as he flew at his attacker and punched, but Tambourine simply moved his head side to side avoiding the punches. Finally catching his opponent, Giran punched his stomach, but the blow had no effect but to cause Giran's hand to pulse red, causing him to whimper in pain.

"You fighters are all the same," Tambourine said before he jumped and delivered rapid fire kicks to Giran's stomach, sending him flying back into a large boulder.

"Big mistake," Giran growled.

"You're the one who made the mistake of calling yourself a warrior."

"Whoever you are, you're making a big mistake. This is my village to terrorise, go get your own!"

"Oh, your ambition is limitless."

"You dare mock me!? I'll rip you to pieces," Giran shouted.

"Is that the best you can do? You give monsters a bad name. You're so out of your league," Tambourine replied making Giran chuckle.

"You never know, I might just surprise you. Here, chew on this!" he shouted, opening his mouth and firing a stream of purple gum which wrapped around Tambourine.

"Thanks, but it's not my colour," he said.

"That's Merry-Go-Round Gum, you can't move a muscle," Giran informed him.

"Oh really?" Tambourine asked before breaking out of the gum with shocking ease. Giran was shocked, and his surprise caused Tambourine to laugh. "It's sad when plans fail, you should have had a backup. Now it's time for you to die." Giran growled in anger before flying towards Tambourine and swatting him with his massive tail.

The blow briefly stunned Tambourine, but the monster recovered a moment later before he smirked. "Only one other fighter managed to land even a single blow on me. You should be honoured," he told Giran before flying right towards him, left hand outstretched as it began to glow.
Ramming it right through Giran's stomach, the strike killed its victim instantly, causing Giran to fall fo the ground lifeless. He took out the picture of Giran and tore it in half. As the adult bear came out to thank him, he killed him in a single blow before tossing another piece of paper on him. Cackling madly, he flew off.

"So it looks like we'll be fighting King Piccolo and all of his minions for control of the Dragonballs, is that it?" Tien asked as he, Roshi, and Chiaotzu were in an airplane flying through the air, and Roshi had the Dragon Radar Bulma built in his hand while Tien flew the ship.

"And his possession of the four star ball puts him in the lead; what we need is a plan to put him off his guard long enough for us to steal the four star ball back," Roshi answered.

"Understood, I'd love to knock him off his guard," Tien replied.

"Careful Tien, I understand how you feel but maverick tactics won't work against a powerful adversary like King Piccolo. We must work together," Roshi warned Tien who growled in frustration.

"Hey, the radar is blinking," Chiaotzu said, and sure enough the Dragon Radar was beeping.

"A Dragonball, 200 kilometres away, heading south," Roshi said.

"Changing course," Tien said as he turned the ship around and headed for the Dragonball.

"This one should be easy enough, pity I'd like one fight to last a while," Tambourine said as he flew through the sky while looking at a picture of Yamcha. Back with Yajirobe and Daisuke, the samurai burped loudly and sighed happily.

"That was sure tasty. But I need something else," he said standing up.

"Don't worry, there is bound to be seconds," Daisuke told him.

"Others like him? I don't think so, not many creatures of his size around here," Yajirobe said looking down at the skeleton of Cymbal.

"There's another one call Tambourine. He'll be after that Dragonball around your neck. As long as you wear that one he will come after you Yajirobe," Daisuke told him pointing to the Dragonball Yajirobe had around his neck.

"That's Mr. Yajirobe to you brat!" he shouted, walking up to Daisuke and getting in her face. "I know what is going on here and I don't need your advice!"

"Hey, I'm the one who fought Tambourine before, I know what to expect when it comes to this guy," Daisuke told him.

"Does it look like I'm going to fight that thing? No I'm going to hunt and eat it. I graduated at the top of my clan, I'm what you call phasiticated," he replied making Daisuke sweatdrop.

"You definitely need a dictionary."

"Whatever. I have a whole day's hunting ahead of me and I don't have time to waste on you, it's time for you to leave."

"Alright. But first hand over your Dragonball around your neck," she said.

"Huh? This thing?" he asked looking down at the Dragonball around his neck.

"Yes, Goku once told me of the time he brought one of his friend's deceased father back to life, and I can do the same for Goku but I need all seven, so hand it over."

"I don't understand. I know it's nice and shiny but how is it supposed to bring back your dead friend back to life?"

"Goku told me of the dragon you can summon once you gather all seven Dragonballs. And once that happens he will grant one wish," Daisuke answered.

Meanwhile, in Pilaf's airship Piccolo looked at the globe hanging above him where a blip had appeared and pointed to it.

"This is the Dragonball my precious Cymbal was seeking when he disappeared, that means the one who possesses it is responsible for his destruction. I want them to pay and pay dearly for their insults."

"Your majesty, while Cymbal's whereabouts are unknown, it is unlikely that he was destroyed by anyone on this planet, here we are invincible," Piano told Piccolo.

"That's great news," Shu said.

"Maybe he took time to take in the sights and lost track of time, you know how kids are," Pilaf suggested tentatively.

"That's right," Mai said.

"Yes maybe I was just dreaming when I felt his life-force slipping away!" Piccolo snapped scaring Pilaf, Mai and Shu yet again. "I am telepathically linked with all of my children; I sensed his death, whoever ruined my creation will suffer,"

Meanwhile back with Tambourine he stopped flying and he looked around. "This is strange, I must be lost," he said when he spotted the new Kame House nearby and he began to fly down towards it, as he did this, Yamcha was busy training and throwing punches and kicks with his previously injured leg which had healed enough so he could stand without crutches and Krillin was also training.

"Slow down champ, you don't want to be in bed for another month do you?" Bulma asked him.

"It is a little sore," Yamcha said rubbing his leg.

"At least we're safe out here, King Piccolo would never think to look for Yamcha and Krillin out here," Oolong said.

"That's true, he has a whole planet to search. Besides, Master Roshi and the others will be back soon enough," Bulma said.

"Don't worry about it, if Piccolo is dumb enough to show up here, I'll gladly introduce him to my lead army," Launch said with a submachine gun in her hands.

"Knock knock," Tambourine said as he landed making everyone look at him. "I'm lost. I'm seeking an island nearby, identified as NB1825002," he said.

"Oh…you're gonna want to travel south across the sea," Yamcha said.

"What a coincidence, that's where we lived before we moved here," Bulma said.

"Is that so?" Tambourine said before he looked at Krillin and Yamcha and he recognised both. "You're Yamcha and Krillin!" he shouted making everyone gasp.

"No….it's him, isn't it?" Bulma asked terrified.

"That must make you King Piccolo's yes man," Yamcha said.

"Yes…I mean…uh…you…don't shut up!" Tambourine said.

"Monster! You're the one who killed Goku aren't you?" Krillin demanded.

"And you are both my next victims, two birds with one stone, this should be fun," Tambourine said as he lunged towards Yamcha and Krillin. They matched his charge, forcing Tambourine to block several strikes from Yamcha before ducking under Krillin, the small monk having jumped and tried to kick him in the head. Tambourine also took to the skies and hurled a kick at Yamcha who blocked the blow with his arms.

The older martial artist then jumped to match Tambourine's level and swung a kick of his own only for Tambourine to block. A strike from one of the monster's arms hit Yamcha's injured leg, making him grunt in pain. Tambourine then kicked Yamcha in the gut, sending him flying back where he landed on his feet beside Krillin. Yamcha tried to jump towards Tambourine but his leg gave out and he fell to his knee.

"Eat lead scaly!" Launch shouted, firing her weapon at Tambourine, but the bullets bounced off his skin and he chuckled.

"That tickles," he said as Bulma, Puar and Oolong screamed in fear. "Goodbye!" he told Yamcha and Krillin as he flew towards them and both his hands began to glow. Just before he could kill both of them, he stopped.

"Tambourine, Tambourine!" he heard King Piccolo contact him telepathically.

"We'll finish this later," he told both before he flew into the air.

"Get back here coward!" Krillin shouted to him.

"Master everything is proceeding as planned. I have tracked down and exterminated seven already, I am currently working on the eighth and ninth," he told King Piccolo.

"That's good news, I wish I had the same. Unfortunately we have a problem, Cymbal was sent to retrieve a Dragonball along the way he was destroyed," King Piccolo replied.

"Destroyed?" Tambourine asked in surprise.

"Our response to this crime must be swift and severe; you are to abandon your current assignment and find and make an example out of him. Kill him slowly," King Piccolo commanded.

"I will."

"Good. Then proceed to coordinates WSC2933," King Piccolo told him.

"I'm on my way majesty, I won't rest until this vermin is exterminated. It's your lucky day! Enjoy it!" he told Yamcha and Krillin before he flew off.

Some distance away, Roshi was staring at an artic wasteland. "This is the spot alright, unless this thing has frost bite then we have found the Dragonball," Roshi said as he looked at the Dragon Radar as he, and Chiaotzu and Tien stood together. "It's in that iceberg,"

"Allow me master," Tien said as he held his hands together. He shouted as his hands glowed with Ki and fired a large blast of Ki at the iceberg, making it glow briefly before shattering into thousands of pieces.

"That's a lot of ice cubes, but where is the Dragonball?" Roshi asked looking at the Dragon Radar when Chiaotzu saw something and he flew over towards what remained of the iceberg and he pulled out the two star Dragonball and he smiled.

"Uh….seems kind of small to grant wishes, even if there are seven of them," Yajirobe said, still looking at his Dragonball.

"The balls don't grant wishes, it's the dragon they summon that grants them," Daisuke said. "It's true, trust me."

"If I were you I'd wish for lots of food," Yajirobe replied.

"There's only one wish I want and that's to bring Goku back to life, and then I will destroy Tambourine, the one who killed him," Daisuke said.

"I thought you only got one wish?" Yajirobe asked confused.

"You do, I meant I will kill Tambourine after I bring Goku back to life. Or before if I run into him before then, which if my luck holds will be any hour now. Now are you going to hand the Dragonball over or not?" Daisuke asked him but Yajirobe walked off. "Hey, where are you going!?" she asked, running after him. She continued to follow him until the surrounding landscape changed to a desert and Yajirobe stopped walking and looked at her.

"Why are you following me!?" he asked her.

"I told you before that as long as you have that Dragonball around your neck Tambourine will come after you," she answered.

"Are you threatening me?" Yajirobe asked her.

"I don't see how you thought I was threatening you by simply stating an obvious fact."

"Then you're trying to scare me into handing this thing over to you," Yajirobe accused, making Daisuke groan.

"No. I'm not doing that either, I'm waiting for Tambourine to show up so I can kill him and avenge Goku's death. The best way for me to accomplish that is to follow you until he shows up," she explained.

"All you really want is the Dragonball."

"Well gold star to you Captain Obvious. I do need the Dragonball, but only to bring Goku back to life, would you mind if I borrow it then?"

"I said no!"

"I'm telling you the truth, I just want to get Goku back," Daisuke told him.

"Well you can't have my Dragonball, I'm going to sell it for a good price," Yajirobe said before walking off.

"Why you greedy…." Daisuke growled as she followed Yajirobe who began to walk faster and Daisuke too picked up the pace.

"Stop chasing me!" he told her.

"I want the Dragonball and I won't stop until you hand it over!" she replied as Yajirobe ran off at a fast speed, and Daisuke followed before she stopped. "Why the hell am I running after him?" She jumped into the air and flew after Yajirobe who looked behind him to see Daisuke flying and he was shocked.

"Nobody told me humans could fly," he thought as he continued to run away from Daisuke.

"Run all you want Yajirobe, but you won't escape me!" she told him.

Meanwhile back on Pilaf's airship, King Piccolo was growing more and more furious with each passing second. "I want him. I will tear him apart!"

"Master, calm down. You need your strength," Piano told him.

"I worry for your safety," Shu told Pilaf.

"What are you talking about? Remember the nice cooker, what do you think we got it for?" Pilaf asked him.

"Emperor. I have a very bad feeling about this," Mai told him. "What if this doesn't work?"

"Be patient Mai, it won't take long," Pilaf answered as Piccolo leaned back into his throne and closed his eyes.

"Your majesty!" Tambourine contacted, making him open his eyes, scaring Pilaf and his gang.

"What happened, did you find them?" asked Piccolo placing his finger to his temple again.

"There's no one here, whoever I'm after they've moved on," Tambourine answered as he stood in the wasteland looking around.

"What? They've moved?" Piccolo asked. "Pilaf!"

"Mai, the radar," Pilaf said to his assistant who nodded and pressed a button on the wall. The globe descended from the ceiling. "The Dragonball is moving north-east, and at an incredible pace," she said, and sure enough Yajirobe was swimming across the ocean with Daisuke was flying after him, Yajirobe made it onto dry land and continued to run from Daisuke into a forest, but Daisuke followed after him, though she decided to continue on foot to conserve her energy.

"Your target is moving north-east, after them hurry," Piccolo told Tambourine who flew off after Yajirobe and Daisuke who were continuing their chase until Yajirobe stopped at the edge of a river and he collapsed exhausted. Daisuke stopped behind him, slightly out of breath.

"It's stopped," Mai told Piccolo who smirked.

"Your target is stationary, the coordinates are NW0123," he informed Tambourine who flew to his destination.

Meanwhile Daisuke and Yajirobe both were standing in the stream where they had stopped. Yajirobe reached down into the water and pulled out a large fish. Looking back, he found that Daisuke had caught a fish in her mouth. He frowned and soon both were eating their fish after cooking them over a fire.

Yajirobe looked back at Daisuke who grinned at him. He frowned before running off again and Daisuke followed after him. Yajirobe smirked as he began jumping on rocks that were in the stream before he landed hard on one rock, cracking it. As Daisuke landed, it crumbled nearly making her fall into the raging water. Fortunately she caught herself by hovering in the air and frowned at Yajirobe as he continued he run off before resuming her pursuit.

"What!? It's moving again?" Piccolo asked angrily. "This prey is slippery. Tambourine move fast, get them," he commanded and Tambourine continued his pursuit and he found Yajirobe asleep on a large bale of hay on a cart which was moving down a dirt road, he then opened his mouth and fired a beam of Ki right down towards the wagon destroying it in a massive fireball throwing the farmer to the ground where Tambourine landed in front of him.

"Old man, did you kill my brother?" he asked the terrified man before he saw Yajirobe stand up and noticed the Dragonball.

"What's the big idea?" he asked rubbing his head when he saw Tambourine walk towards him. "Well what do you know, what the dog girl was telling me was true."

"Hey!" Both turned to see Daisuke running towards them. "You stay out of this Yajirobe! I'm the one who is going to avenge Goku!"

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Tambourine asked her as she skidded to a stop in front of Yajirobe. "I dealt with you in the woods."

"I told you I'd make you pay. I'll never forgive you for killing Goku and destroying his Nimbus cloud. And I want his Dragonball back!" she demanded.

"Listen Daisuke, you can off this monster, I don't care. Just let me eat him," Yajirobe told her.

"I can't believe this. My little brother Cymbal killed by a couple of rats," Tambourine said.

"Rats!? You take that back!" Yajirobe demanded.

"This is hilarious. You want to go another round with me? The last time we fought, you were barely able to hurt me," Tambourine told Daisuke.

"That was because I was exhausted but now I am fully rest and ready to kill you!" she shot back.

"I'd like to see you try," Tambourine said laughing as Daisuke got ready to fight.

"This is for Goku!" Daisuke shouted angrily. "Goku, I promise I will avenge you, and then I'll bring you back to life," she thought.

"Come on, you talk big, but let's see if you can back it up," Tambourine taunted. "I'm waiting," he said as Daisuke snarled and her tail and hair stood on end. She vanished from sight and Tambourine gasped. Looking around to see Daisuke appear, then vanish from sight, then appear and vanish yet again. "Stop that!" he demanded as Yajirobe was also shocked at Daisuke's increased speed. Tambourine looked around, a visible expression of fear in his eyes at Daisuke's speed before she elbowed him in the face hard, sending him into the air.

Daisuke jumped after him and punched him repeatedly in the chest. An uppercut sent Tambourine flying before she pursued him. Gritting her teeth, she slammed her knee in Tambourine's torso making his eyes bulge out before kicking him in the face. She flipped back and drove her knee into the back of Tambourine's neck, making his eyes bulge out even further. Daisuke then slammed her fists down into her enemy, sending him falling down to the ground. Moments later she landed and snarled.

"I sure hope I never end up on that kid's revenge list," Yajirobe said to himself. "I got to admit Daisuke, you sure handled him,"

"That monster deserved it for what he has done," Daisuke replied. Privately she added, "I actually feel stronger and faster than before, even accounting for my fatigue. How is that possible?"

"You remember your promise. I get to eat him," Yajirobe said.

"Whatever," Daisuke said shrugging her shoulders before she saw Tambourine twitch and get to his feet.

"Why is he moving?" Yajirobe asked.

"You little bitch," Tambourine snarled glaring at Daisuke.

"Oh dear, it looks like I stopped too early," she said as Tambourine stood up and held his arm.

"Unbelievable. How can we the warrior tribe be beaten by you!?" he demanded walking towards Daisuke. "Pathetic human!" he roared before firing a Ki blast from his mouth right at Daisuke. The screaming energy projectile hit her, and when the explosion died down Daisuke was gone. Tambourine cackled madly. "I told you we are superior to the human race!" he boasted proudly as Yajirobe reached for his sword making Tambourine cackle and he walk towards the fat samurai before he heard a laugh.

"Boy you sure suck," Tambourine gasped and he turned to see Daisuke standing off to the side and he snarled while backing up in fear. "Goku's Kamehameha is way stronger. Now it's time for you to feel the same pain that you gave Goku." Daisuke then blurred from sight before appearing in front of Tambourine. She punched and buried her fist into Tambourine's stomach which made purple blood leak from the wound and Tambourine's eyes widened as he coughed out more blood.

"May you burn in hell for all those deaths upon your hands," Daisuke whispered before shouting. "Kamehameha!" she then fired a massive beam of blue Ki from her hand buried in Tambourine's stomach which blasted through his body and blew him to pieces, leaving barely anything left and Daisuke smirked in dark satisfaction at what she had done. "Goku….you are avenged,"
