Danny Fenton: The Chaotic Adventure
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing well. Me and family are recovering good from some icy inclement weather that really threw things for a loop on many levels!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. God, thank you for helping me and family during these uncertain and trying times. We are relying more and more on you Jesus as the days go by, which are rough and tough for me and family especially that my awesome Dad is no longer with us in the flesh and blood. But no matter what the obstacle or trial Lord… I will continue to look to you in everything. And also to have my faith/trust/belief/hope in you to be forged and coming out stronger than before.
We lost another light on Feb. 16th this year… my Christian hero and role model known Carman Licciardello, a.k.a. Carman. Sigh… the world has lost SO many good people, a majority thanks to the plague curse known as the Coronavirus. So in this chapter, I dedicate it to my Christian role model & hero. I was introduced to his music at a very young age, and heard his sermons and concerts as I grew older. I believe that he and my own pastor, Rick Godwin from my church Summit Christian Center at San Antonio would have gotten together wonderfully.
I also pray and hope for this; for the nightmare known as COVID-19 to be completely obliterated and removed from the equation of life for good! Also, that this New Normal & Do The Five Thing rules and regulations are also done away with for good as well. No more distancing of any kind, no more masks needed in most public places, no more isolation, no more excessive cleaning/sanitation, no more curbside/contactless delivery & no more virtual/online substitutions!
And most importantly… no more fear/anxiety/hesitation/doubt/paranoia! With people coming back together, living tried and true like before, long before this plague came into being.
In this chapter, Kim and Cree are about to learn what it takes to be a real martial arts fighter… Dragonball style! Also, I bear no ill will of any kind towards Kim and Cree. I know that both of them, especially Kim, are potent in the art of combat. However… I believe that a lesson in humility is in order, one that will help them to see what it really means to become martial artists of Tien and Krillin's caliber. In the physical, social, mental and emotional sense.
And also a surprise at the end which I believe will stun those quite familiar with a certain character often mentioned in the Dragonball Z timeline.
I will be utilizing information contained in both manga & also anime from my Dragonball DVD season series, which I have all of them. Also, I recently learned that having CD's & DVDs is good as you have a reliable back-up in case Internet/WiFi is down due to extreme weather conditions.
Also… I have just one request here. An Author friend of mine here going by the name of Drjeesh is making a comic book series on my Star Vs. story which is called Marco at a Crossroad. You can find the comic's location if you PM him about it. I am wondering if anyone who is reading this can make this into a comic book series. If so, thank you! If not, I understand.
There will be NO slash or femme-slash actions or stuff like that in any my stories, this crossover included.
When Danny and the ladies arrive, it is at the very early stages of the Piccolo Jr. Saga, at the exact moment when Shen Long was revived and granted the wish of bringing those that were killed by Demon King Piccolo and his minions back to life. And with a three-year gap before the next tournament, it would give Danny and his date's ample time to explore the new reality/world they are in & to collect the Dragon Balls.
Danny Phantom is a cartoon series that was created by Butch Hartman, developed by Steve Marmel. The series aired on April 2004, the network that released it was Nickelodeon. The production companies were Billionford Inc. and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with the distributors being Viacom International Inc. and Nelvana. Look for my Danny Phantom series and specials when getting the chance, if you please. This takes place after the episode De-Stabilized, but before Phantom Planet. And also, said last episode will NOT be featured here.
DragonBall is a manga/anime series that was written by Akira Toriyama, published by Shueisha Inc. with North America published by Viz Media. The manga was created in December 1984, ending in June 1995 with forty-two volumes. The anime was directed by Minoru Okazaki & Daisuke Nisho, produced by Tokizō Tsuchiya/Kenji Shimizu/Jun'ichi Ishikawa. Studio was Toei Animation, licensed by Funimation Entertainment for North America. Original network that broadcasted it was Fuji TV, with multiple English networks such as Cartoon Network Toonami and Funimation Channel. It ran from February 1986 to April 1989.
I was going to use lyrics for the Intro and Outro, but Flower princess11 did not approve so I removed them. She requested it, so I complied. Also, the pictures I am using to see the compound is from the Dragonball Fandom website. And also, I am asking for anyone who is creative with their hands in making pictures and such to make pictures that depict my crossover here.
If you wish, use your imagination and put in any kind of song/music intro from any anime series with the Intro and Outro here. And also, so no one is confused, this is DragonBall & not DragonBall Z.
Now, on with the story!)
{{Intro}}
{The screen shows the starry atmosphere of space, with the planet Jupiter shown in the upper right corner of the screen. It looks peaceful for the moment… than a white-blue comet of sort streaked past it and towards the screen before seemingly going through it! It was soon followed by multiple other white-blue comets!
The screen changed to show the multiple glowing celestial objects streaking past the Asteroid Belt, Mars and the Moon. Music picked up as the planet Earth came into view in all her glory, the comets streaking towards it as they entered the atmosphere! The image of the DP logo appeared above the planet, and down below appeared words in white letters against the inky black space underneath Earth. The logo changed to show the capital D and P letters splitting apart slightly to show the name DANNY PHANTOM, and below the planet were the white words AND THE CHAOTIC ADVENTURE.
The scene goes from space to the Earth, in a clear field where the blue-white comets land. They do not smash into the ground, but rather hover over the ground and shortly pop like bubbles. Emerging first for all to see is Danny Fenton, who looks around confused until he turns behind him to see the other comets that soon burst forth.
The camera goes to showcase intensely but briefly the women that also traveled with Danny:
Kimberly Ann Possible, Alexandra Casoy, Gwen Tennyson, Emma Mackenzie, Diana Lombard, Sabrina Spellman, Kara Kent, Jenny Wakeman, Cree Lincoln, Violet Parr, Jen Masterson, the floating ghoul Phantasma, Vicky the babysitter, Wendy Corduroy, Debbie Thornberry, April O'Neal, gothic girl Gwen Honorine, Angelica Pickles, Kitty Pryde, Makoto Kino a.k.a. Lita for English name, Katie Kaboom, Penny Proud, Ginger Foutley, Spectra Vondergeist, Winx Club fairy Musa, Felicia Hardy, Daria Morgendorffer, Barbara Gordon, Cleo Sertori and Starfire.
After the last girl's face is shown, the camera shows to see Danny confused as he looks to them. A bright flash occurs, and he looks upward. The camera soon shows an aerial shot of him directly in the middle of it, the girls coming to his position and getting close to said teen as they all look upward with him towards the camera.
The camera than shows the sky where white comet was streak through the air, zooming in to show it was the Four-Star Dragonball! It stays with it until said orb disappears over the horizon. The camera than showcases Danny and the others looking up at where the ball went, than a scroll appearing in front of him. He takes it and unfurls it to show the message that was given to him and the ladies. The camera shows the message as it pans down until it showcases these words that shine with golden light- ONLY THE WISH FROM THE ETERNAL DRAGON SHEN LONG WILL SEND BACK
The scene than shows Danny Fenton leading the group, Kim and Musa by his side with Starfire and Gwen Tennyson behind him on the left & right respectively. The others follow in an arrowhead-like formation. They soon stop, seeing a cliff and the camera showing that the entourage was now gazing at the mega metropolis known as West City!
The camera than leaves the group, going to showcase the front entrance of the domed building that has the words Capsule Corp. etched in it. And zooms in to show that standing in front of said entrance/exit way was Bulma Briefs with Oolong the shape-shifting pig on her left, Puar the shape-shifting flying cat on her right. Both smile and wave to the audience.
The scene does some brief but interesting cut-scenes that show Danny and the other women talking to them inside the building around a table, Bulma seeing the message, followed by her talking to them as she is most likely explaining the Dragon Balls & who Shen Long is & the clip ends with her giving Danny the famous Dragon Radar as she points out how to use it.
The camera shows Danny given a large trunk which contains Dyno Capsules of various sizes, color and numbers, courtesy of Bulma who says it's on the house. She also gives a blue capsule that is marked with a capital black B, which are the blueprints for said item that she gives to Barbara Gordon. The scene than shows the group leaving the area…
And the camera shows clips of the group running away from a large unusual-looking, jungle-green T-Rex & a silver Western-European dragon! The scene shows the girls like Cree, Vicky, Debbie, Gwen Honorine, Angelica and Penny running from them! It than shows a clip of Danny being carried by Jenny in the air along with Musa, Spectra and Phantasma looking at a nest that has three red baby Pteranodons in it… and Kitty popping out from underneath it with an egg that soon hatches to showcase another baby red Pteranodon.
The scene changes to showcase a clear field, the sky darkening with an immense column of golden light that writhes like a serpent. The camera shows Danny with the girls, Daria and Cleo by his side with Ginger behind him. All of them, and the girls who are shown nearby, looking upward in awe at the light. The camera changes to show in full the golden light changing… the light flashing out to reveal in all his green-scaled might, the Eternal Dragon known as Shen Long!
The scene changes yet again, this time to show Danny Fenton changing into Danny Phantom. The camera shows him flying over the road, with the ocean in the background and a hover car that is similar to the car that Ox King gave to Goku and the others long ago. In the car driving at the wheel was Kim Possible, shotgun was Alexandra & in the back seat was Emma and Katie Kaboom. Riding behind them were several motorbikes that had the following riders- Sabrina, Vicky, Violet, Wendy, April, Felicia and Kitty!
The camera pointed to the sea to show Cleo in her mermaid form as she jumped out of the ocean. Following close in is a Capsule Corp. submarine/aircraft combo that holds Daria, Barbara, Diana and Cree! The camera changes to showcase Danny… and who is above him! Flying above was Kara Kent in her superheroine outfit, Musa in her Winx persona, Phantasma, Spectra, Starfire, Gwen Tennyson in her alien form… and Penny Proud & Makoto flying atop a yellow Nimbus Cloud together!
The camera showed clips of Danny and the others going into various places for adventure & to learn and grow. It shows clips of the group searching in the sea, with Danny in scuba gear on & swimming with Cleo with the submarine/aircraft combo following them. It soon shows a clip of Danny with Makoto, Katie and Felicia as they are in another city as they are taking in the sights of it. And shows a clip of Danny in his Phantom form with Sabrina on her broom, Kim in a jet pack & Kara in her superheroine persona as they fly around & have some good fun.
The camera than showed appeared to be flying through mountains, than over a vast desert that seemed to stretch for miles! It than stopped and showcased familiar settings. It showed Fortune-Teller Baba's Palace, with said pink-haired fortune teller floating on her ball with her pink ghost assistant by her side as they grinned at the camera & audience. The camera stayed on them for a moment before shifting to a scene that showed Turtle Island where it showed Master Roshi, his Turtle companion & Launch in her blue-haired form as they waved and smiled to the audience.
The camera than changed to show Korin's Tower, and at the base of it was Tien Shinhan, his friend Chiaotzu, the former desert bandit Yamcha & finally Goku's best friend Krillin! They all stop their martial arts training to look at the audience before smiling and waving hello. The camera shifts and changes to the entrance of the place that holds the World Martial Arts Tournament… and coming into view for all to see were the previous contestants like Nam, Bacterian, Ran-Fan, Giran and Pamput. Also coming into view was the permanent fixture of the tournament, the Announcer himself! All wave to the audience before doing their signature poses.
The camera changed to show a dark-yellow nebula backdrop with many shadowy figures that range in size and shape, most likely featuring the many enemies that Danny and his dates would meet in the future. One of them stood out from the rest, in front of the shadow shapes with its features more outlined. It was a tall being in a turban and cape with pointed shoulder guards, his shoes also pointed & looking tall and imposing.
The camera than transitioned quickly to show the many characters that were linked to the ladies, indicating it was their friends & family members back home. It showed the forms and faces of characters like Mr. & Mrs. Fenton, Tucker Foley, Dani Fenton/Phantom, Batman, Robin, Superman, Mr. & Mrs. Possible, Ron Stoppable, Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Martin Mystery with Java the Caveman, M.O.M., Dipper and Mabel Pines, Max & Ben Tennyson and Kevin Eleven, Professor Charles Xavier & Wolverine, Mr. & Mrs. Proud with Sugar Mama, and more!
The scene changes to showcase case to a large mesa that is high above the ground… and near the center of the immense chunk of earth is Danny Phantom Goku still in his child form! Behind him was Kami the Guardian of the Earth & his assistant Mr. Popo. Behind the halfa hero was his entourage, the women looking on as something was about to happen. Goku and Danny were smirking… than charging at one another as this was a sparring match of sort! The camera showed a clip of Goku getting hit by a green ecto-blast, than switching fast to show Goku hitting Danny hard over the head with his Power Pole!
The scene soon changed again, this time showing Danny Fenton flying on the Nimbus Cloud with a Dragonball in his hand! The young man looked relieved, and was soon joined by the other women as they were in a large aircraft that was big enough to hold them all comfortably!
The camera gets a close up of Danny as he holds the Four-Star Dragonball. Than the camera goes into the aircraft to show the ladies and what they carried; first was Kim Possible holding the One-Star Ball, Starfire lifting up for all to see the Two-Star Ball, Penny Proud holding up in her left hand the Three-Star Ball, Gwen Tennyson cradling in her hands the Five-Star Ball, Katie Kaboom smiling and holding high in victory the Six-Star Ball & finally Alex holding high the Seven-Star Ball!
The scene changes to show all are on land now, the seven spheres gathered together and glowing… and the form of Shen Long emerging once more! The Eternal Dragon roared loudly as he was summoned, and the camera showed Danny underneath the visage of the dragon with the women on both sides. The entire group than did their signature poses as the music ended, an excellent pan shot of everyone underneath the roaring form of Shen Long!}
{{End Intro}}
Kim Possible and her new teammate Cree Lincoln were charging at their chosen foes. Tien Shinhan remained stoic as his opponent from a completely different universe rushed in and delivered some quick punches to his upper-body area, while Krillin did a small hop over the sweeping kick that his African-American opponent sent out to him. The monk, who still looked childlike in physical stature, did some backward flips as Cree gave chase after him.
Tien was using his arms to block the swift strikes of Kim, the heroine teenage cheerleader showing some remarkable speed as she continued the assault of kicks and punches. The three-eyed fighter slightly winced at each hit that he blocked, but he refused to let the pain slow him down. He threw a strong punch to Kim, but she deftly leapt over him in an impressive display of agility and reflexes.
She lashed out with a sweeping low kick in an effort to trip him to the ground, but instead he jumped and twisted in mid-air to land on the ground, facing her as he got into a defensive stance yet again. Kim smirked as she rose up quickly and said, "Not bad. Most opponents I have gotten up against would have fallen down. You have good reaction speed there, Mr. Shinhan.".
Tien merely smirked back and replied, "Thank you. You have some impressive reflexes and speed yourself, Miss Possible. Your agility is good… but it will not be enough to take me down.". Kim felt her competitive spirit, her Kimness as many called it who knew her well, rose up as she continued once again with the assault. And again, Tien stuck with blocking her blows with his arms and legs as he was pushed back if only a little.
Meanwhile, Cree was chasing after Krillin as he was on the defensive as well. He kept evading her attacks; ducking under and/or blocking punches & hopping over her kicks in an impressive display of agility and control. The female teenager ninja leader was a bit annoyed that her offensive didn't seem to be getting through. She called out, "Come on now, stand your ground and fight like a man! Though, not surprised that all you can do is duck and dodge like a little kid!".
The monk did a couple of backflips to put some distance between himself and his opponent, instantly going into a stance and retorting, "Kid?! Look lady, I'm seventeen years old! Just because I'm a bit vertically-challenged doesn't mean I'm a child!".
This information had many of the onlookers from another universe had a look of stunned surprised, especially Cree who stopped her assault & was now gawking a bit at Krillin. She pointed at him and exclaimed, "No way! You're telling me that you're a teenager like me?! But… you're so short and child-like!".
Krillin smirked and relied, "Just goes to show one of the many lessons that Master Roshi taught me, and that is to never judge someone by physical appearance alone or to make assumptions. Now come on, try to get me to say uncle!".
Cree managed to get over her shock by shaking her head to clear said emotion, then resumed going back on the attack against her foe. She thought, 'If Father or any of the other teens saw this, they would be more than surprised. So would those snot-nosed brats from KND!'.
On the sidelines, many of the ladies from another realm were cheering on Kim and Cree as they continued to push on the offensive. Penny exclaimed, "Whoo! You go Kim! Show that three-eyed guy some serious girl power!".
Emma added in, "Wow! Those two are good! Look, they keep on pushing them while they stay on the defensive! Ha! They look to be totally outclassed!". Her sentiments were shared by Debbie, Gwen Honorine, Angelica, Jen, Ginger and Cleo.
Gwen Tennyson was the one who burst her bubble as she replied, "Outclassed? Are you serious? I don't believe so. In fact, I think it is Kim and Cree that are outclassed here.".
This caused the ladies that had faith in Kim and Cree to win the sparring match to look at her in disbelief, Debbie inquiring, "What makes you say that when those guys haven't laid a single punch on them?".
The redheaded half-human/half-alien answered, "I have seen battles before, and also have some karate lessons under my belt. I know how certain fighters move and feel… and Tien and Krillin are just getting a feel of their moves and styles.".
April put in, "Same here with me. I also know martial arts, and done some fighting against some strong ones opponents myself. And those two are just getting a feel of their moves and attacks while also not wasting much energy. I mean, look at Krillin. It LOOKS like he is barely dodging or stopping her blows, but he's not.".
Makoto said, "She's right. I also practice karate, and I can see that he is controlling himself. That he is just doing the bare minimum of evading or blocking her strikes, conserving energy while keeping up with her still.".
Jenny stated, "Also, I think something is wrong with Tien. I've just scanned him, and it seems to be moderately injured.". It was true, as the robotic beauty saw that something was off of the three-eyed martial artist as he was wincing slightly from his movements. She did a medical bio-scan, one of many features that her mother Nora installed in her, and saw that he had some serious internal injuries on various parts of his body!
Bulma called out, "Oh, you saw that? Well… yeah, he is injured. He got banged up when he fought King Piccolo and one of his servant offspring called Drum.". The ladies plus Danny turned to her, wanting to hear more.
It was Yamcha that said, "Yeah, Tien told us. Apparently, he went to fight King Piccolo who had used the Dragonballs to wish for eternal youth. But before he could confront him, he fought against one of his minions. And according to him… he literally threw up an egg that hatched into a demon minion that he named Drum.".
At hearing the part on King Piccolo spawning something in that kind of manner made the ladies green the in the face. Even Danny looked to be a little sick as something like that was just unnatural to him.
The Desert Bandit continued on, "Once Drum emerged, he and Tien fought… and apparently was overmatched by him. If it wasn't for Goku arriving on the scene like he did, Tien said that he would have been killed by it. He said he also got his head almost crushed by Piccolo himself, but thankfully survived it all.".
Launch said, "He's telling the truth. I started to do first aid on Tien, until I sneezed and my other self came out to finish bandaging him.". This got Danny and some of the ladies attention, specifically the part on Launch just stating that she had 'another self'.
Spectra asked, "Than… he is fighting handicapped?".
The natives of the world nodded their heads at this, Penny was about to call out to Kim on Tien's condition when Master Roshi spoke firmly to not say a thing. The pre-teen looked to him in and asked in a genuinely confused tone, "Hey, why not?".
The elderly Turtle hermit answered in a sage-like tone, "Tien Shinhan is a dedicated martial artist and warrior, young lady. When Bulma told us about you all and wanted us to come, Tien took off his bandages willingly. He believed that if you all posed a threat to us, he would be more than ready to fight without showing weakness. And he went into the match knowing full well his injuries, but didn't say anything on it as he wants to test himself despite being injured.".
Alex asked, "So, he is doing this all just to be macho or something?".
Master Roshi shook his head and answered, "No, nothing like that dear lady. Tien has a strong sense of pride where it concerns martial arts and being a warrior. He's not doing this to be macho like you assume, but to see how far he can go despite his injuries. He also said that he was inspired by Goku, who got it much worse than him when he fought and defeated King Piccolo. In a way, he wants to see if he can go on like him.".
The young ladies and Danny Fenton turned their attention back to the sparring matches, where Tien was holding his own against Kim remarkably despite his internal injuries. And also seeing Krillin continuing to smoothly evade Cree despite her best efforts also made many of the ladies that had been cheering for them earlier to re-think a little.
Also, the group made mental notes to ask for more in-depth details on what occurred involving King Piccolo and Goku.
Kim continued her assault on Tien, who was slowly being pushed back against some of the trees that lined up against the brick wall. Miss Possible had a light sheen of sweat on her being, showing that she had gotten quite the workout in her offense. She thought, 'This guy has some serious endurance and defense, but why doesn't he fight back?'.
She called out, "Tien, come on! Why won't you fight back?!".
The potent warrior and winner of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament stood up straight and answered, "I have been studying your prowess as a fighter, and I have to say… you have potential, but your skills are a bit lacking.".
This got the young heroine to show stunned surprise, and it also showed on the faces of the young women who looked up to Kim Possible as an inspiration and role model. Tien continued, "Your style is formidable, but you seem to base your technique on hit-and-run tactics. Also, you display remarkable agility, reflexes and speed. But you lack strength, power and endurance.".
He finished up, "You most likely would have gotten far in the Elimination Rounds of the tournament… but not enough to be a Contestant.". His tone did not suggest arrogance or contempt, but just truth. While Kim did hold potential, she was still well within human limitations. Many martial artists who had competed in the World Martial Arts Tournament had trained themselves to the absolute limit of their capabilities, some going beyond as they had broken through the wall of humanity, so to speak.
The words got Kim a bit steamed up, as she had prided herself on being a formidable person when it came to anything she put her mind to. She had absorbed completely the creed of her father which was this- Anything is possible for a Possible. She had traversed the world over, helping others and going into places that had harsh environmental conditions. She had taken down many numerous criminals around the globe, some having superhuman strength like Shego.
And hearing the words from Tien had wounded her pride, causing the cheerleader to temporarily lose her self-control and charge in with a burst of speed!
While it was fast to most people… to others that had been trained extensively like Tien Shinhan, she was moving at a snail's pace. Tien closed his eyes as he felt Kim moving towards him, her left fist cocked back and ready to deliver a swift uppercut to the chest area. She threw the punch… but it went right through Tien!
This got everyone to gasp in surprise… and more so when Kim saw the image of her foe become transparent and wavy like a mirage! She was so stunned by this and exclaimed, "W-W-What the-?! What just happened?!".
She than felt a tap to the back of her head, knowing quickly on who it was that had touched her. Tien's voice came up, "I believe that it would be wise for you to surrender, Miss Possible.".
Kim than came to realize on how much she had overestimated herself… and also underestimated her opponent. He had just used some kind of technique to catch her off-guard, and also to be behind her without her noticing it. Tien could have done something a lot more… physical and severe to her than just tap her.
Sighing, she turned around and looked at her opponent, who had a serious look on his face. Miss Possible spoke for all to hear, "I… I surrender.".
Tien serious look soon gave way to a small but true smile, which Kim returned as she saw that there was no arrogance to it. He extended his right hand out, Miss Possible soon shaking it as a show of good sportswomanship.
Those that had witnessed the scene had various reactions. Penny, Debbie, Gwen Honorine, Angelica, Jen, Ginger and Cleo were all put out that their inspiration/heroine had just surrendered like that. However, many were glad to see the verbal surrender and sportsmanship by both fighters. Danny especially as he looked to both combatants and thought, 'Kim, though you do have a bit of a pride complex and such… its good to see that you are not a sore loser. And like Tien said, you have potential and promise.'.
He, along with those who were skilled in the art of fighting, were wondering on what exactly did Tien do that left a faint image of himself.
The sound of screams and yells got everyone's attention, as they turned their heads towards the noise to see that Cree and Krillin were still going at it.
The ebony-skinned beauty was getting hot under the collar as she tried to land a single solid blow on her opponent, but the best friend of Goku was still evading her attacks like they were nothing. She had kept up the assault for about six minutes straight, and was getting a bit fatigued. However, Krillin was just smirking as he didn't even seem out of breath.
Miss Lincoln tried for a right-legged axe kick, but Krillin leapt back and took a stance as he watched her foot come down hard on the ground. He then rose up straight, going out of his stance as he now eyed his foe. He stated, "I have to say, you're pretty good. You have the skills, but it seems that you're not as good as you think you are.".
This stunned much of the onlookers, Cree included but the emotions of rage and confusion. She exclaimed, "Oh yeah?! How would you know something like that, shrimp?!".
The martial artist answered, "I know because I have been trained by one of the best, Master Roshi. And he taught us to spot both strengths and weaknesses, in our opponents as well as ourselves. You have good speed, footwork, agility and reflexes. And it seems you know some good moves."
Cree smirked a little, preening slightly from the praise. But Krillin brought her down as he continued, "But it's not enough. And your strength, endurance, defense and stamina are on the very low side. And also, you seem to be like me back in the day, letting one's own temper take control.".
The young lady & enemy of the KND organization growled now, her temper flaring as if to prove Krillin correct in his assessment. He smirked and finished up, "You got some talent, but you're just too early to be on my level.".
Miss Lincoln gritted her teeth, the words of the small warrior igniting her rage to new levels! She thought, 'Who does this snot-little punk think he is?! I earned all of my skills and more, first from being part of that bratty kids organization, than by training under Father to be a top-notch ninja! I won't be put down by this kid!'.
She let out a yell and charged at Krillin, ready to deliver a flying kick to his head… but it would never come to be.
The bald-headed fighter suddenly leapt at her, low to the ground but looking as if he was flying! The sudden burst of speed and action got everyone off-guard, especially Cree. Krillin than extended his fist outward, delivering a punch directly into his foe's stomach area! The action was too quick for the young lady to react at all, soon feeling all of the air leaving out of her lungs and pain exploding from the point of impact.
She was now wobbly on her feet, the attack had completely neutralized her running start and now she was shaking on her appendages. Soon, she went down to her knees, clutching her stomach as she panted loudly. She said to herself in her head, 'W-What just happened?! Owww… felt like I… I was just kicked… by a zebra! H-How is that runt… so strong!?'.
Cree had faced many strong adversaries in her life, kid and adult… yet she never felt this much pain from just one kick alone!
She weakly looked up… and saw Krillin now standing at face-level with her. He had a serious look on his face as he just stared at her, the young African-American beauty now feeling fear as she felt he was going to do something serious to her. The tension was thick, the onlookers wondering on what Krillin would do.
He then lifted his right fist, cocked it back and threw it! Cree closed her eyes, expecting a powerful blow to her face… but after seconds passed, it never came. She weakly opened her eyes… to see the fist just centimeters from her nose, Krillin soon bringing up a smile and flicking her on said body part.
Cree cried out, "Ouch!". This caused the tension to drop, as well as the breath many of the onlookers were holding.
The monk fighter grin never left his face as he asked, "I believe that you would take this time to surrender. Unless… you really want to see what I can really do.".
Miss Lincoln than realized that Krillin was truly giving her a choice; to either continue on and most likely experience more pain & have her pride decimated more, or to salvage what she could and accept defeat. She thought, 'This kid… no, teenager close to young adult. He is… he is stronger than he lets on. Much strong, I believe! So… I think I'll make the right choice.'.
Cree rose up slowly to her feet, panting more to get some of the pain out of her system as she looked down at Krillin and stated softly, "Heh… I surrender.".
Krillin than extended his right hand and remarked, "You did the right thing. And you did put up a good fight, that I'll give you.".
The young lady managed a weak smile as she accepted & shook the hand that was offered to her. She replied, "Thanks squirt. I mean… Krillin. At least I got beat by a teenager, and not a kid.". The crowd clapped at seeing yet another display of good sportsmanship.
He put in, "No problem! Also, you shouldn't underestimate kids. Goku was twelve years old when me and him entered the World Martial Arts tournament for the first time six years ago. He went all the way to the Finals, but he very narrowly lost to an old guy named Jackie Chun.".
This kind of information surprised not only Cree, but also the others who managed to hear it. The one thing that was going through all of their minds was this, 'Wow… I need to learn more about this Goku character!'.
Puar floated back onto the field, coming in the area between the four combatants and exclaimed, "The sparring match is over! The winners are Tien Shinhan and Krillin!". Bulma and the others cheered for their friends, Danny and the others clapping also to show that they approved of the decision as well.
Kim and Cree gave their sparring foes a nod of their heads before going back to their group, the ladies asking if they were okay. Danny gently grabbed onto the arms of both female fighters, who turned to look at the young man. He released their arms as he looked to them, a small smile on his face as he said to them, "Ladies… you both did well out there. And also, I hope that you learned something from this. Something that I learned just recently.".
Miss Possible raised her eyebrow a little and asked, "And what would that be, Danny?".
He answered, "Humility. I remember how cocky and arrogant I was when I got… better. But I soon got my butt beat badly, and I learned the hard way to never let ego or pride get the best of you. Best to be humble in a right way; never put yourself or your skills/abilities down, but never believe that you stop improving yourself.".
The ladies knew on what he was talking about now, on when he became a halfa. He had worded it in a way so that Bulma and the others would not catch on. They did not fully trust them… at least not yet. So for now, Danny had to keep his alter-ego on the down-low.
Kim realized that while she did downplay her heroics most of the time… sadly she did allow her own pride and ego to build up to a certain point that she believed herself invincible. Now she saw that she truly was not, and had a lot to learn. Thankfully… this lesson she would take to heart, the right way.
Cree was in the same boat as Kim, realizing that she had let her emotions control her during the sparring session. And also had assumed that Krillin was like her enemies in the KND, never thinking that he was strong. And she was quickly proven wrong. And what he just said about Goku made her think that just because one is an adult, should never think to underestimate children in any way.
Miss Possible said, "Thanks Danny. We got the lessons alright.".
Miss Lincoln added, "Sure did! And also, thanks for the talk as well.". The young man smiled, glad that his message got across.
The group soon turned to see that Bulma was approaching them, Puar now back in her regular form as she was floating besides Yamcha now. The blue-haired beauty asked, "That was great! Say, since the sparring match is over and we still got some time to kill, how about we go inside and talk for a while.".
Danny answered, "That sounds like a plan.".
Sabrina put in, "Also, let's see if we can patch Tien up. I bet he needs some medical attention after going through that blocking.". She looked to the three-eyed warrior, who was mildly surprised that she knew about his little condition.
He was about to ask on how is it that she knew that he was injured, when Jenny interrupted, "I did a medical bio-scan of you during the fight, Mr. Shinhan. I saw that something a bit off on you, so I did the scan. It revealed that you were injured in many places, and from what I can see now… it seems that the tears in your muscles opened back up again.".
Kim had a look of surprise on her face, turning to face Tien who had a look of slight embarrassment on his face. She asked, "Is she telling the truth, Tien?".
He nodded his head and answered, "Yes, she's right. But let make one thing clear, I chose to enter this sparring session knowing I would be slightly handicapped since not at full strength.".
Alex put in, "We were going to call out and tell you, but Roshi there explained the whole thing on why to keep quiet about it during the match.".
Miss Possible looked to the aged Turtle hermit, who nodded and explained to her what he said to the group earlier. Again, Kim was a bit peeved that her opponent was fighting with a handicap of sort but was able to best her, but she quickly squashed the thought & also anything else that would try to nurse her wounded pride.
Danny looked to Bulma and asked, "I don't suppose you have some medicine and such within the groceries that you brought in with you?".
The heir of Capsule Corporations grinned and answered, "Yup! But just in case, we brought medical supplies of our own! Launch here was adamant in bringing them for Tien.". Said blue-haired young woman smiled brightly, making the others also smile to see that she really cared for the three-eyed martial artist. She soon turned around, going back into the plane she was on earlier and quickly rushing back out with a medical kit that was twice the size of a lunch box in her arms.
Wendy put in, "That's good to know! Now, let's all go inside and talk! Because after this little meeting, I have some questions I would like to ask all of you!".
The group than progressed back to the manor home, many questions buzzing in the minds of the visitors from another universe.
~Inside the manor~
Everyone was now in the living room, which was all fixed up & looking better than before thanks to the French Maid robots. Said mechanical marvels continued on with their work, but they were leaving the large living room space alone since they already done the area.
Tien was situated on one of the couches, Launch immediately breaking out the kit to apply the medicine and bandages on the parts of his body that needed attention the most. Jenny and Batgirl joined in, XJ-9 using her medical vision to pinpoint the areas that needed to be tended to & Barbara helping out as well since she did have some medical training under her belt.
Once everyone was situated in their own way in the living room, Bulma turned to Danny and stated, "This place looks rather nice, especially with all the expensive-looking stuff around. I have to say this for the Red Ribbon Army, they had good taste in furniture and everything.".
The halfa hero commented, "Yeah, they sure do. But now knowing that they were a criminal organization makes we want to get rid of it and buy some stuff to replace it.".
Spectra added, "Yes, I have flown through much of the abode. And I must say that some of the art and décor here is just tacky and needs something really fresh and new. Bulma, do you think you can help us out in getting some new things for this place?".
The multi-billionaire young lady looked to the floating beauty and answered, "I can try. But first let's see if the organization left some zeni behind. An organization this vast and complex must have had some legit businesses that was a cover of sort so they could gain income. Or perhaps their leader left behind a private stash of some kind.".
Black Cat inquired, "So, zeni is the currency of this world right? What does it look like?".
Bulma, Master Roshi, Yamcha and Chiaotzu reached into their pockets and pulled out their wallets. The small psychic friend pulled out from his black wallet some green bills that had the number 500 at the corner areas, with both sides having the picture of a large building complex with the words KING'S CASTLE written underneath it. Yamcha pulled out a bill that showed the numbers 1,000 in the corner areas while having a picture of what appeared to be a dinosaur's head that looked similar to a T-Rex.
Master Roshi pulled out a bill that showed the number 5,000 in the corner areas with the picture of a man that looked important & wearing a suit of sort that spoke of top class.
Bulma finished it by pulling some bills that had the numbers 10,000 in the corner area with a picture that featured a male fighter within it, one that looked fierce and ready for battle.
The ladies looked at the currency, many impressed to see such large numbers while some like Black Cat and Jen committed them to memory. Bulma stated, "There are also coins that are of 10, 50 and 100 zeni. But we don't have that kind of change with us right now. Also, certain jewels and certain precious metals like gold and silver are also considered in high value as well.".
This brought a smile to Black Cat because now that she knew the currency & also that jewels and other precious metals were highly valued… she could put her skills to the test, and she was hoping soon.
Oolong inquired, "Say Danny, mind if we see that scroll that Bulma said you had. I'd like to see it, to really know that all of this is legit and real.".
Fenton didn't see any problems with his request, so he fished out the scroll that DJ had sent to them. He gave it to Bulma, since she was sitting next to him, who soon unfurled it and showed the contents to herself and the others. As they read the contents, Master Roshi stated, "I have to say, this DJ Rodriguez person seems to be someone with great power to be able to do something like this.".
Yamcha added, "And smart too, knowing that they would need help and that Bulma would be the one to help them.".
Said young lady looked to the thirty-one visitors from another universe and said firmly, "Well, you can count on me to help as best I can!". This sent much relief and hope into Fenton and the others, as they would need as much help as they could get in order to navigate through the new world they were in.
Puar read the contents more and more, then looked up and said, "I think it's rather strange that someone like this DJ person knows much about us.".
Tien inquired, "Do you think he may be like Kami?".
Makoto and April had a look of surprise on their faces while the others were a bit perplexed. The Sailor Scout of Jupiter asked, "Kami? You mean Kami-sama?".
Musa asked, "Excuse me, but who or what is a Kami?".
Master Roshi answered, "Kami, or Kami-sama as it's his formal title, is also known as the Guardian of the Earth. He is the one on the celestial level that is more or less a god. And from what knowledge I know, and what I saw yesterday, he can do just about anything. Including bringing Shen Long back to life.".
Again, this bit of information stunned everyone very much & it showed on their faces. Starfire asked, "Excuse me, friend Roshi. I would like to know how this is possible, as the scroll says that Shen Long is eternal and I thought it meant that he could not die.".
Diana put forth, "I think it would be better if we can start at the beginning, starting I believe with the one called King Piccolo. That way we can better understand things and in order.". The investigator of the paranormal wanted to get everything straight and in order so she could contemplate on what was going on. One thing was for sure, she knew that MOM and the others back home would be very much interested in the situation if they were here with her.
Bulma and the others looked to one another, wondering if they should tell them everything that they knew. After some time, it was Master Roshi that started things off as if to confirm in an affirmative to indeed tell the others everything they knew. He said in a serious tone, "Well, the beginning actually starts about 300 years ago. Back when I was young and in my prime. Long ago, an evil demon named King Piccolo emerged. He seemed to be different from the other supernatural beings from this world, as his strength and abilities were truly otherworldly.".
He continued on, telling the story of the Demon King like he did with the others some a week or so ago. Tien, Bulma, Launch and Yamcha filled in on what happened shortly after the martial arts tournament, Krillin and Chiaotzu remaining quiet as the memories on what happened was still a bit fresh to them.
When the story was done, everyone was indeed shocked to hear on what had occurred. And also it indeed clear about some things that had been buzzing in all of their minds. Danny looked to Bulma and the others and stated softly in a stunned tone, "Wow… just… wow! That is a lot to take in.".
Kara Kent added, "That is quite a story. The origin of King Piccolo, how he took over the planet the first time around…".
Batgirl put in, "How you Roshi and your old friend Crane managed to defeat the demon horde until Piccolo showed up…".
Kitty stated, "How Master Mutaito was defeated by him, but managing to find a way to seal him in an electronic jar of all things…".
Katie said, "And then coming back by some idiot freeing him, and his minion wreaking havoc by killing those who were part of the Martial Arts Society.". She looked to Krillin and Chiaotzu, feeling sympathetic to the duo as she saw that they looked uncomfortable still from the memory.
Cleo stated, "So Piccolo managed to get all of the Dragonballs after escaping from Roshi's Evil Containment Wave technique, and wished for eternal youth. And after that, he actually killed Shen Long. He did that in order to make sure that the Dragonballs would not be used against him, right?".
Tien nodded and replied, "That is correct. When Shen Long was destroyed, the Dragonballs changed back to round stones.".
Daria said in her usual tone, "And you managed to learn and master the technique after seeing it once from Master Roshi? I have to say, you are one heck of a quick learner.".
Phantasma said, "And you went over to the capital of this world, the King's Castle where this person called King Furry lives at in Central City, in order to confront Piccolo after he took over the place. Hahahahahaha! I have to say, you got some serious guts Tien!".
Yamcha stated, "He sure does. He was going to give his life like Roshi and Mutaito did in order to defeat him, and I couldn't just bear to sit on the sidelines even with an injured leg. So me, Bulma and Launch went over to see if we could help.".
Vicky smiled smugly as she said, "Heh… so instead of going out like a big hero, he got his butt whooped by one of his minions instead.". She was met with glares from the others, with Starfire shooting a tiny starbolt on her backside that made the redheaded babysitter yelp in surprise and pain. She did this discreetly, but Krillin and Tien saw this and subtly stored it away for the time being.
The three-eyed martial artist replied, "Yes… I was overwhelmed by Drum… and he was a mere minion. But then… Goku arrived, and he took him down with just one kick to the head. It was… remarkable.". He said the last part in an awed tone.
Danny inquired, "And you said that he looked different the last time you saw him, right? When he chased after the demon that killed Krillin.".
Tien looked at Fenton and answered, "He was different alright. Even though he looked the same on the outside… I could tell that something had happened. Something that had changed him to become someone completely different… that was able to fight on level with King Piccolo.".
Kim asked, "And after he defeated King Piccolo, and Bulma announcing it to the world, he soon came back to Roshi's house with his injuries all healed and looking for his weapon… the Power Pole, was it?".
Puar answered, "Yup! I think all of us were amazed to see him fully recovered, especially since it was hours after the battle. And according to Tien, he was thoroughly thrashed. And he when he came to get the pole, he stated that he was going to use it to see Kami and bring everyone back. Of course, we were all confused on what he meant by that.". Again, this had many of them wondering what the Power Pole was and what it could do.
Makoto whispered, "Amazing… that Goku went to go see Kami-sama… I wonder what he looks like.". Hearing her words had many of the visitors from another realm imaginations stirring, wondering what this Guardian of the Earth looked like.
Oolong put in, "Some hours after that, the stones that Tien brought back turned back into Dragonballs. We used them to call out Shen Long, who told us that Kami revived him thanks to Goku! I tell you, I just couldn't believe it…".
Penny inquired, "And this Shen Long told you that Kami was training Goku at a place called the Lookout for some important task, and that you all would see him at the next World Martial Arts Tournament. Am I right on that?".
The group nodded their heads at her inquiry, Danny and the girls wondering where this Lookout place was at… and what kind of training that Goku was he going to take in order to prepare for this important task, whatever that was.
Bulma finished it off, "So that is when we made the wish to bring back everyone that was killed by King Piccolo and his minions. The wish was granted because Roshi, Krillin and Chiaotzu woke up from the Freezer capsules I put them in. And that is when I believe you guys came in when Shen Long went back into the Dragonballs and scattered back off into the world.".
Mr. Fenton said, "Yeah… what you said does make sense on why we now have to wait a year until the Dragonballs form back again.".
Diana stated softly, "I just can't believe that something like them even exist, let alone demons and apparently a Kami. I didn't think something like completely reviving the dead could happen…". While she still felt that there were just a few pieces missing to the puzzle, at least she was satisfied that she had a better understanding and clearer picture of the situation.
However, she and many others knew that there were a few gaps in the entire story… and the only one who could fill them in was Goku, but he was unavailable for the time being.
Krillin smirked and stated, "Heh, you're not alone in that. We didn't think it could happen until Goku made a wish to bring his friend Upa's father back to life.".
Seeing the others look to him, the monk fighter explained that three years ago, Goku had started to look for the Dragonballs. Originally, his plan was to get the Four-Stall Ball. It was a memento of his deceased grandfather Son Gohan, and thus was very special and important to him. However, he decided to get all seven of them due to the Red Ribbon Army killing Upa's father. That was why he attacked the base all by himself since they had two of the magical spheres.
Danny and the others were again amazed on how selfless and heroic Goku was, and also strong for him to take on a whole army right at their very own doorstep. Again, they let their imaginations soar as they mentally visualized on how Goku looked.
Master Roshi inquired, "Well, now that you heard the story, I hope this clears up anything that was on your minds.".
Violet answered, "I believe that it does. Thank you Mister Roshi, and also to everyone for telling us everything.". Yamcha and the others smiled, glad to see that telling the tale concerning King Piccolo had helped them out. And of course, Master Roshi said to just call him either his name or the full title 'Master Roshi' as the mister title made him feel old… even though he was.
Bulma looked to the clock and saw that it was 12:40, about forty minutes had passed since they arrived. She looked to Danny and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask us? Also, I hope that you won't mind answering some of our own questions concerning you or the others.".
He answered, "I don't mind answering questions on myself, but for the others… that is for them to decide. Also, I may or may not answer some questions if they are a bit personal.".
Katie asked, "Oh, I have a question to ask! What was that move that Mr. Shinhan used against Kim? And also, what Launch meant earlier on 'her other self'?".
Before any of the mentioned beings could answer that, one of the French Maid robots and Plumber robots went to Bulma. Said blue-haired genius asked, "Oh, hey you two? What's up?".
The maid robot answered in a seductive woman tone, "Pardon me, Mistress Bulma. But I believe that you and the others need to come downstairs to the basement level of the complex. I believe that myself and my fellow maids have found something that you need to see.".
Many raised their eyes at the tone of the small robot, Bulma having a tick mark above her head. She thought, 'Dad… out of all of the maids I borrowed from the house, one of them just HAD to be the one you reprogrammed to sound like that!'. She would have a talk with her father later on.
One of the Plumber robots exclaimed in an Italian accent, "Miss Briefs! Miss Briefs! Me and my fellow plumbers were working down in the Plumbing Level when they twisted one of the handles… and found a secret room! Come, come! You need to look!".
Angelica spoke, "A secret room? In that spooky place? Well… in a way, it does make some sense…".
Oolong asked, "Well, what should we do about it?".
Danny rose up and suggested, "How about this? Tien, Chiaotzu, Jenny, Gwen Honorine, Kitty, Penny and Emma go and check what the maids have found. Bulma, myself, Yamcha, Black Cat, Kara, Violet and Krillin go and see what the plumbers found. The rest of you stay here and be on standby of sort. How about that?".
After some talking, the group agreed and the people mentioned by Danny came together & followed the robots to their respective areas. Oolong and Roshi showed that they were MORE than happy to stay with the ladies… which made said women now wishing they had been chosen to go with either group.
The ones following the robot maid went down a hallway, than down a long flight of stairs led them deep underground. Fortunately for them, lights were set up on the side of the wall so they all had illumination. When they reached the bottom, they found themselves in what appeared to be a wine cellar of sort. Gwen looked about the tall shelves that held vast quantities of bottles of various wines and stated, "Heh, I bet that Chris would kill to have a set up like this.".
Chiaotzu asked, "Who is Chris? A friend of yours?".
The gothic beauty answered, "Heh, yeah right. He's a person who runs a reality series called Total Drama. I was a contestant on that show… oh boy, did it show his sadistic streak.". This made the two martial artist show surprise on their faces, wondering how bad this Chris person was.
The group walked towards the end of the expansive room, where waiting at the corner end of the area were four other maids. The one that had been leading the team went them, informing her companions on the situation. Once it seemed that everything was clear, the seductive-toned maid went to one of the bottles that was positioned second from the bottom. Three other maids went to other walls within the room, also positioned in the same area like their counterpart.
The French Maid robot that led the group down here called out, "Okay everyone! On the count of three! One… two… three! Pull!".
The four mechanical servants pulled the bottles… and four loud clicking sounds were heard. The walls on all sides, including the one that was next to the entrance/exit way they came through, slowly swung out to showcase a secret vault! This surprised everyone very much, and it showed on their faces.
Penny exclaimed, "Wow! I think we just stumbled across an old-school secret treasury area! Look at the size of those vault doors! I bet there is a lot of loot in there!".
Emma inquired, "But… how are we going to open them? None of us know the combination.".
Kitty looked to Jenny and asked, "Do you have anything that can open vault doors?". She was still a bit reluctant to showcase her ability, as it would seem.
The robotic beauty smirked and answered, "Sure do! Normally, I would just rip this open like a tuna can. But I think finesse is needed here, so…". She went to the vault door, pressing her head against it and hearing the mechanics inside as she twisted the dial around. Thanks to her sensitive hearing and internal computer diagnostics, she managed to crack the combination easily. Once a click was heard, indicating that it was now unlocked, Jenny pulled open the heavy door…
And the group was stunned to see that the interior of the vault could fit about twenty people, and it was filled with rows of shelves that contained jewels and treasures of priceless value!
Emma cheered as she exclaimed, "WHOO HOO! Look at this! We hit the jackpot!".
Kitty put in, "I'm guessing that the leader of this base wanted to have something to fall back on if his empire fell. And since this stuff is still here, I think he might have fallen with it.". Tien stated that it was a possibility, looking at crowns and scepters that seemed to sparkle and shine with a very sleek luster.
Gwen looked to Jenny and exclaimed, "Hurry, Robo-Girl! See what else is in the other three vaults!".
XJ-9 saluted and quickly went to work on the other ones, going so fast that she cracked the remaining three almost simultaneously! Tien and Chiaotzu were amazed at the speed that the robot with the soul of a young woman had.
The vaults opened up to show their contents; in one of the rooms were stacks of zeni that filled the room & all seemed to have the number 100,000 written on them, the other vault room was filled with bars of gold that made it look like a miniature Fort Knox & the final room contained works of art that most likely would be worth a fortune in either the legal or black market. Though… the ladies did question on some pieces of art that looked bizarre.
Penny whispered in awe, "Whoa… I don't think we're going to have to worry about finances for a while…". The group nodded their heads, seeing that indeed they would be well off monetary-wise for some time.
Tien suggested, "We should tell Bulma and the others about this as soon as we get back. Need to see how much all of this is really worth.".
While Tien and his group were a bit busy checking out the wealthy merchandise down below in the basement area, Danny and his group were following the little plumber robot in the Plumbing Level. The whole area was now filled with the sounds of humming, hammering and twisting metal as the remaining robots were still doing their duty in repairing the pipes.
They soon arrived to a spot where there was two Pluming Robots were standing guard, so to speak, near a wall that had a section of it opened. The little robotic worker stated, "There it is, Miss Briefs! When one of my fellow plumbers tested one of the value handles on the wall, it clicked and part of the wall slid open to reveal that!".
Krillin commented, "Well, that's interesting. But why is something like this even here?".
Violet replied, "I think that the one who ran this base had something to hide, even from his own troops. Come on, let's explore!". She was about to go in when Danny reached out and grabbed her shoulders, stopping her.
The young man said, "Hold on there, Violet. I read up on Commander Red, who was the leader of the whole army, and I have a feeling that he wanted this secret for a reason. Do any of you have anything that might detect traps?".
Bulma answered, "Good call Danny! Heh, not only cute but smart too! And let me take a look at it.". She smiled and winked at him in a flirtatious way, making him blush from the compliment while the ladies did not find this amusing at all. Yamcha just smirked and shook his head, used to Bulma's flirting now even though he and she were together.
The blue-haired beauty knelt down and examined the entranceway with a keen eye. She commented, "It looks like everything is on the up and up… but after being inside that Pirate Cave some time ago with Krillin and Goku, learned to not just jump in headfirst. Luigi-Plumber, mind giving it a scope with your eyes?".
The one that had led them down there saluted before looking at the sides and insides of the passageway, his eyes glowing red to show that he was using a different kind of vision. What he was using was his X-Ray vision mode, which came in handy when seeing through pipes to see if they had clogs or anything that was blocking the flow of water.
No one knew it, but Kara was subtly using her own X-Ray vision as well. Her scope was better and spread out more than the robots. The cousin of Clark Kent/Superman was scanning the area, and it seemed that nothing dangerous had been set up in case of intruders.
She finished her scan the same time the robot did, Luigi-Plumber also finishing his own as the exact same time. The small mechanical wonder stated, "Okie-dokie! Scan complete! No booby traps of any kind, Miss Briefs!".
Bulma smiled and replied, "Thanks! Now, you three stand guard here while we take a look inside.". The small green-and-blue colored plumbers saluted, all three standing at attention. Bulma went in first, Danny following her with the others doing the same. When Violet was the last one to enter, the door behind them activated as it slid shut.
The group was now immersed in darkness, but quickly lights came on the side of the walls to illuminate the way. They pressed onward, Danny asked Bulma on what she mentioned earlier on a Pirate Cave. The beautiful genius answered, "Oh, about three years ago, me and Krillin went with Goku to find the Four-Star Ball. It took us under the sea, deep under the sea, and into a secret base that had been used by pirates long, long ago. I'm still surprised that it was even there, but so it is. In any case, we were being chased by General Blue, one of the commanders within the Red Ribbon Army.".
Krillin put in, "He was weird, but strong with psychic abilities. In any case, me and the others found that the pirates laid down some deadly booby traps that still worked. Fortunately for us, we survived them. The soldiers chasing us… not so much. Except for that Blue guy, who managed to survive it even after the base started to collapse on itself.".
Black Cat inquired, "And did you find the Dragonball after all of that?".
Bulma answered, "Goku did. While he told us to escape, he went after the ball. He managed to make it back, and we all barely escaped from that base with our lives! He was a bit disappointed that he found the Three-Star Ball, but he kept it after all of that.".
The group found themselves going deep into the earth, soon arriving a large white metal door with an electronic on it. Black Cat smirked and stated, "Step aside everyone. This is where I shine.".
The white-haired costumed beauty went to the control panel that was situated on the right side of the door, studying it before reaching into her left pocket and pulling out a small black case that most would assume was a make-up one. Yamcha asked, "Say, what is she doing?".
Kara answered, "Well, Black Cat is a… well, a notorious thief back in our world. From what I heard on the news concerning her, she has made some daring thefts in various parts of the world. I believe that what she has is part of her little bag of tricks to get into places she wants to go at.".
Said thief turned to face her, a smirk on her face as she remarked, "Yup! Now I'm glad that I packed in some tools of my mine before being brought to this world.". She held up the black case to show to all, which had some white powder in it.
Black Cat put her lips close to it and blew gently, the white powder going on the keypad panel with large clumps of it sticking to the numbers 1, 9, 8 and 7. Putting the black case back in her pocket, she studied the panel once more before pressing the numbers 1987 & pushing the green button after that. The electronic locked beeped… than let out a PING sound as it opened up slightly, showing that she was successful!
Danny smiled at her and said, "I have to say, that was pretty clever of you to do. But… how did you know which buttons were the right ones?".
Black Cat smirked from the praise given to her by the halfa hero and answered, "Just call it a hunch, cutie. Let's just say that it's not only my skills that make my character, but also 'luck' as well. And for this black cat, I bring both bad and good luck… all depending.". She winked at Danny, in a way that was more sensual than what Bulma did earlier. This made the young man blush badly and turn away a little in shyness, making Yamcha and Krillin snicker at the display.
The other ladies, minus Bulma, frowned and were quite irritated on the flirting the cat-burglar was doing.
Bulma pushed the door open… and the group soon walked into a room that was quite expansive and large, with various machines scattered about. There was a table nearby that had books, papers and pencils lying about. The most noticeable object in the room was a large orange capsule, right in the middle of it all, with the markings No. 5 on it.
Yamcha looked around a little, taking a look at the machines nearby and asked in an awed tone, "What is this place?".
Bulma and Black Cat went to the table that had the items all scattered about, the genius picking up the papers and looking at them. She answered, "This is a secret lab, I would have to guess. Whoever was down here must have been conducting experiments for the Red Ribbon Army. The paper here are notes of some kind.".
Black Cat checked out a schematic that was written in a notebook and commented, "I have to say, this person is one hardcore scientist. The math and plans here… I bet this guy could give Tony Stark and several other geniuses I know back in my world a serious run for their money. And… hey Bulma, do you know anyone called Dr. Gero?".
The heir to the Capsule Corporations looked up to her in surprise and exclaimed, "Dr. Gero?! Are you serious?!". She looked at the technical schematic that Black Cat had in her hands, scanning through the written work quickly until she found the name of the person on it. She was really stunned by this, and it showed on her face.
Danny asked, "Bulma, who is this guy that has you all surprised?".
She answered, "He was a brilliant inventor and scientist, mostly in the area of robotics. He wasn't very sociable though, according to my Dad. And he disappeared years ago, seemingly vanishing into thin air.".
Violet pointed out, "From the looks of it, I think he was working with the Red Ribbon Army. But with what, I have no clue.".
Kara looked at some of the notes that were scattered about, which showed diagrams and blueprints of a device. She asked, "I wonder what these things are?". Though she was quite clever and smart, she was not a genius in the technical department. She found the name of the device in the upper-left corner of the diagram and it showed INFINITE ENERGY MODEL.
While the ladies looked through the tables, notes and machines, Danny had his attention on the capsule in the room. He was curious on what was inside it, trying to peek in but the glass casing covering the top was glazed over as to make any kind of visual from the outside impossible. He looked down to see that underneath the top casing were two buttons, a green and red one.
He asked himself, "I wonder what these are…?". He pushed the green button, and a loud hissing sound came forth! He backed away from the capsule quickly, the others turning to see on what was going on. The top of the capsule slowly opened up, freezing gas escaping from the interior to show that it was a cryogenic capsule.
Danny waited until the door was completely open, walking over and peering down to see what was contained in the object. He was surprised very much to see what was inside, quickly blushing badly and turning around quick. The others came to see what had gotten a reaction like that from him… and soon found out why.
In the capsule, on a padded interior on all sides, was a very beautiful woman. She had long flowing, rich golden-sun colored hair that looked to reach down to her mid-back area, flawless milky skin… and also a build that would give any female supermodel a run for their money, including Black Cat! She looked to have D-cups, quite spherical and round. And also… wearing just a white bra and panties!
Yamcha and Krillin were very much surprised, blushes on their faces while their eyes were locked on the beautiful form. Kara and Violet found this very annoying… and promptly decked the two to the ground to snap them out of it! The ladies saw that Danny had turned around, Kara asking on why he had his back turned.
He gulped and answered in a nervous tone, "Well… she is… ah… not fully clothed so… didn't want to… well… my Mom and Dad taught me to be a gentleman, so…".
This brought warm smiles to the faces of the ladies, as Danny was trying to not be rude at staring at the nearly-nude woman like a letch or anything akin to that. This rose their respect for him by several notches, though Black Cat and Kara were going to have much fun teasing him on it. It didn't help at all that the two ladies saw discreetly that he was having his hands over a certain area of his as to not let the others see his… ahem, reaction to seeing said lady in the capsule.
Bulma looked around the capsule interior, but didn't find anything. She looked around the outside, soon finding a clipboard that was hanging on the wall close to it. She plucked it down and read the information on it. She said, "Hmmm… it says here that her name was Jewel Sapphire, age sixteen, a runaway that joined up with the Red Ribbon Army, volunteered willingly to be part of Dr. Gero's experiments… but did not survive.".
The mood was somber now, Danny regaining himself to go back to the capsule and the others. He asked, "What kind of experiment did he use her for…?".
Bulma looked down further on the paper and answered, "He was trying… to turn her into an android.".
{{Outro}}
The camera shows the scene of twilight as the sun is almost completely gone over the horizon. Credits roll on by to showcase the people who made the anime series possible.
A field is displayed that has several large domed Capsule Corp. houses, arranged in a circle with one in the middle slightly smaller than the others. The scene showed Danny Fenton at the doorway to the smaller one since it was his alone. He stretched his arms and went inside his new abode to relax, not knowing of his dates who were watching him as he went inside the home.
The camera showed that the ladies were sharing a Capsule home that could easily sustain 5 people comfortably. It went as follows:
Capsule #1 Home- Kim Possible, Alexandra Casoy, Sabrina Spellman & Jen Masterson
Capsule #2 Home- Gwen Tennyson, Diana Lombard, Violet Parr & Jenny Wakeman
Capsule #3 Home- Emma Mackenzie, Wendy Corduroy, Ginger Foutley & Cree Lincoln
Capsule #4 Home- Kara Kent, Vicky, April O'Neal & Felicia Hardy
Capsule #5 Home- Penny Proud, Phantasma, Spectra & Angelica Pickles
Capsule #6 Home- Daria Morgendorffer, Debbie Thornberry, Cleo Sertori, Gwen Honorine
Capsule #7 Home- Kitty Pryde, Makoto Kino, Barbara Gordon & Starfire
Capsule #8 Home- Musa & Katie Kaboom
The camera showed the ladies relaxing in their new homes, doing various things. However… the camera shows each of their faces & it shows that all of them have a certain young lad on their minds. Soon, a dream sequence starts that shows each of the ladies time spent with Danny so far in the new world they are on.
And it also displays some daydreams they have where Danny chooses one of them out of everyone else.
When the sun goes out completely and the girls see its getting late, the camera shows the ladies going to their rooms to get ready for bed.
As they start to get ready, the camera shows another dream sequence that features a certain girl with Danny; Kim on the Nimbus Cloud with Danny Phantom flying beside her, Makoto and Danny fighting various bad guys together, Felicia and Danny partying at a nightclub in one of the cities they visited, Kara Kent flying through the sky with Danny Phantom, etc.
The random dream sequences end, and the camera shows the ladies soon plopping on their own beds in their own rooms.
The camera shows the young ladies soon in Dreamland, each one having a pleasant smile on as they are dreaming of the future. The camera shows more scenes of their dreams; Phantasma grinning & running away with Danny as they found one of the Dragon Balls in a land of demons, Angelica holding tightly to Danny on an air bike as they rode above the ground but not high in the air either, Wendy Corduroy and Danny putting down some strange land pirates that they had run into, Katie Kaboom on a date with Danny at a romantic carnival that showed a Ferris Wheel that lit up in lights for them K.K. & D.F., etc.
The camera changes to go back to the real world, showing in slow changing sequence the ladies that are all dreaming of the young man they have come to really know & appreciate. They all know his good and bad sides, his good characteristics and flaws that he is trying to work on… and also his dedication to watching over & being there for them.
The camera finishes on Starfire, shifting to show Danny as he lies awake in his room. He is looking up at the ceiling, the camera changing to his Point of View as on the ceiling are the ladies faces in dream circles of sort.
The camera shows the faces of the girls in random fashion, and also showcases an action that Danny took with the girls during his adventures in the new Earth they were on. After that, the camera switches from his Point of View and goes back to show his face as he is deep in thought… on which lady he really does come to love more so than the others in terms of the romantic, long-term sense.
The camera switches from the restless Fenton boy back to the ladies, showing that some of them had blushes on their faces as the dreams they were having about the young lad was drifting towards more… daring territories, some quite bold & adult in nature.
The camera than changes to outside, zooming slowly away from the homes to showcase the stars that were now twinkling free and strong in the velvet black sky. The moon shone brightly… and within the moon came in the random picture of Danny's face holding one of the ladies close to him! A shooting star shot forth underneath the moon, as the final part of the credits showed.

(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Some surprise, right? I bet none of you were expecting to see a creation of Dr. Gero here, right? I hope all of you were surprised!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. God, thank you again for helping me with this. And also thank you for being with me, my family, my friends and the people all around the world that need you very much now. I really do rely more and more on you Jesus every day, and I hope to see some good news come back into this world.
I hope to see the complete end of anything even related to the Coronavirus, that it and anything else linked to it is removed for good from the equation of life! And also that this New Normal/Do The Five Thing rules and regulations are also done away with for good as well, that we can make the very hard but worthwhile journey back to tried and true, real deal normal like before.
I looked up the history of the Androids built by Dr. Gero very carefully, plus the various models he employed in his creations. I saw that he did create a number of Androids, the first seven listed as failures and destroyed. But what if one of them was not destroyed, but merely put in cold storage so he could try to work on it later?
I modeled Jewel Sapphire to have the face and structure of Ranfan from the original Dragonball series, but also the build and hair color of Panchy, the wife of Dr. Briefs & mother of Bulma. So it's like a mixture of the two characters. Also, she was designed to be a Biotechnological Type Android, like Number 17 & 18 are from Dragonball Z. And outfitted with the Infinite Energy Model device, which is shown in both mentioned androids. That is all I will mention for now… the rest of the information will be presented in the next chapter! Don't want to spoil everything, after all.
But here is just a little tidbit for you… Jewel there is going to make Jenny Wakeman's dreams of being more human come true!
Also, here is a little Easter Egg for you. The code to open the door is also the year in which the Akira Toriyama created Dragonball Volume 8 for the Shonen Jump manga series! It is the volume that shows Goku defeating the entire Red Ribbon Army at its own headquarters. I thought that those very familiar with the manga would like that.
Also, the total sum of money that the group found down below in the basement… it all worth about 400 hundred-billion zeni! I saw in one of the manga volumes that the huge diamond that Bulma managed to get from the Pirate Cave area was worth about seven billion zeni, so I believe that finding four hidden vaults of treasure would be equal to the amount shown.
Now for the questions! Ahem…
Who would you be cheering for in the sparring matches of Tien vs. Kim, Cree vs. Krillin? And what would your thoughts be at hearing that Tien was handicapped due to his injuries, yet still wanting to fight against Kim?
After the sparring match, what would you say to either of the fighters? Also, what kind of décor would you help the others look for in order to refurnish the manor area?
What kind of businesses do you think Commander Red ran that would APPEAR legitimate, but was actually a front to fund his Army operations? And if it was up to you, what pictures would you put on any of the zeni money bills that was shown?
What do you think is going on through the minds of your character of choice after they heard the information concerning Kami and Demon King Piccolo here? And also the information on how Goku took on the entire criminal organization by himself in order to find all of the Dragonballs in order to revive his friend's father?
If you were asked to join either of the two groups to look into the situation the robots informed them about, which one would it be? And why?
If you were with the group that found the four hidden vaults that contained Commander Red's secret stash, what would your reaction be? What would be going through your mind?
And finally this… if you were with the group that found one of Dr. Gero's hidden lab, what would you be thinking at seeing said lab & the various notes/schematics/blueprints he had? And also seeing Android No. 5, a.k.a. Jewel Sapphire?
Optional Bonus Question: I will be letting Danny and the others go out and find certain magical objects that was shown in the anime series. In your opinion, who do you think out of the thirty-one newcomers to the world of Dragonball, is suitable to obtain and use these four items- the Bansho Fan, the Gourd of Mist, an exact replica in all ways the Power Pole & finally the Nimbus Cloud? And why?
