Silver

Chapter 3
Bulma rocked back and forth on the grass like a crazed lunatic muttering, "They're coming for me...the tikimen...the tikimen...the tikimen..."
She continued like this until Goku finally got fed up and snapped, "Shut the hell up!"
Bulma blinked at him, stayed quiet for about five minutes then started up again.
Gohan sighed, then heard a rustling in the tree they were sitting by. He stared at it blankly and listened for the rustling again.
"What's wrong son?" Goku looked at Gohan curiously.
Gohan snapped out of his daze and looked at Goku, then back at the tree, "I just thought...I-uh...heard something..."
"Hmmm," Goku stood up and went to the tree to look around, "there's nothing here s--"
Just then a short dark figure jumped out of the tree and pounced on Goku making Bulma let out a piercing scream. The short figure was then followed by several other midget figures. They all lined up side by side, their features darkened by the blackness of night and the shade of the tree.
Bulma backed up crawling like a crab as she continued to scream, "It's...it's...it's THEM!!!"
Goku shooved the midget off of him and scurried to his feet as he backed away to the collecting crew. By the time Goku and Gohan had got into fighting stance ready to attack over twenty of the creatures had come together.
"What are they Dad?" Gohan whispered to his Dad as Silver Tiger's parents stood beside the Father and Son growling and ready to pounce.
"I dunno, but those tigers seem like they do," Goku replied looking down at Silver's father who sttod beside him.
The group of small creatures marched out into the moonlight. They were about 2 feet in height and there entire body was covered by big red masks with painted face of yellow and blue and a place for their eyes. The only part of their bodies that were seen were their brawny twig like arms and legs and their round black eyes that gleamed in the moonlight.
Silver's parents became even more vicious at the sight of the odd looking Tikimen. They bared their razor sharp fangs and pawed at the ground with their deadly claws.
For a long time the two sides stayed as silent and motionless as statue except for the tigers low growls, occasional pawing, and the tense wag of their tails.
Finally, Bulma broke the silence by letting out another scream as the leader of the Tikimen grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up from the ground.
Goku and Gohan turned around surprised, but the two tigers stood their ground.
The leader was much taller than all the others, maybe even taller than Goku. He wore long robes of reddish brown, blue, and off white, but he wore the same mask as the midgets. They began to cheer jumping up and down as they saw their leader.
Goku and Gohan looked at the Tikimen. Then Goku turned back to the Leader and clenched his fist, "You let Bulma go!"
This is when Bulma's fear turned into anger, "You listen to me you freak! You better let go of my hair right now or you'll--" the leader pulled her head back and put a dagger to her throat, "--pay..."she gulped and shut up.
"I said, LET HER GO!" Goku shouted angrily. The leader raised his hand and several of the Tikimen jumped on Goku. He merely powered up blowing them off and scowled at the Leader stomping over to him, "Are you deaf or something?"
The Tikimen wouldn't give up though, they took out their pipes and started shooting darts at Goku.
"Dad! Look out!" Gohan shouted as Silver's Mom pulled him out of the way.
Goku turned around just as the darts were at arms length. Silver's Father charged at Goku and before the darts hit him. The leader waved his hand and the darts disappeared before they hit him instead.
"Riwa," the Leader grumbled at the male lion tossing Bulma to the ground, "how dare you defy me after my people saved your daughter! Jiva, do you defy me as well?"
Riwa, Silver's father and Jiva, Silver's Mother stood in front of the Leader growling.
"We had a deal," the leader said as if the tigers had spoken, "I would protect your daughter and you would give me anything I wanted. Well, I wanted the Silver Tiger!"
Riwa pawed at the ground baring his teeth.
"Enough!" the leader raised his hand, "I have not come to quarrel! I just want what's rightfully mine!"
"That voice sounds so familiar," Gohan mumbled under his breath as he ran over to help his father up.
Meanwhile Bulma was dusting herself off grumbling, "No one messes up Bulma Briefs hair and then just tosses her to the side..." she turned around gritting her teeth, fire glowing in her eyes.
Bulma rolled up her sleeves and charged at the leader getting ready to strangle him, but the tikimen jumped on her and pinned her to the ground, "let me go you idiots!!! You have no idea who you're messing with!!!"
"Whatever," the leader crossed his arms and looked back at the tigers, "now where is she?"
Riwa snorted turning his head away.
"What do you mean she isn't here?!" the leader snapped.
"You fool! You're the one who totalled my house aren't you! How dare you lock me in a closet!" Bulma cut in struggling to get away from the tiki midgets, "You better give Vegeta back! You hear me?!"
The leader ignored Bulma and continued to talk to the tigers, "Where is she?"
Jiva bobbed her head growling.
"You had better tell me!"
It couldn't be him, Gohan looked at the leader, it just couldn't be...
"Vigaro!" Gohan shouted, "Stop this!"
The leader froze up and watched as Gohan slowly approached him.
"Vigaro," Gohan looked up at the leader.
Everything went still as Gohan stared up at the masked leader.
The leader slowly backed up and the tikimen began to disappear jumping up in the air.
He turned to Riwa, "You have not seen the last of me! Silver Tiger shall be mine!"
Riwa roared as if daring him to try it and the leader vanished in thin air.
"Well," Goku stood up smiling, "that was fun."
"Whatever," Bulma stood up angrily patting the dirt off of her shirt, "the next time one of those little monsters touch me, I'm gonna pop'em one!"
She swung her fist in the air as if she were hitting something.
Gohan looked down, his eyes darkened. Goku noticed and put a hand on his son's shoulder, "Gohan, do you know that guy?"
"Yes...I mean...no...I mean..." Gohan looked at his Dad with a confused, frustrated look, "I dunno Dad...he sounded like this guy I once knew...but, it couldn't be him."
"Who is he Gohan?" Bulma ran over grabbing Gohan by the collar and began to shake him, "Tell me!"
"His name is Vigaro!" Gohan replied with swirls in his eyes as Bulma stopped shaking him. He collapsed and went on, "when I was little and Piccolo took me away to train I ran away for a short period of time. That's when I met Vigaro and the orphans. He helped me get away from the social-workers and get home, but after that...I never saw him again."
"What did we miss?" Trunks asked walking on the lawn with Silver Tiger chewing on a chicken leg.
