Aftershock of an Attempted Murder. Part 4.
Disclaimer: See the other parts. I'm not bothered right now.
A/N: I'm not even bothered to do a recap!!!
Everyone stood in his or her fighting stances but no one seemed to make the first move. Goku decided to step in.
"Tell us why you threaten our planet." He called to the man in robes.
"I was just so bored I thought it might be interesting to get into a fight with the remains of an extinct race!" He mocked. Vegeta was angered by his words more than anyone, after all, he was the Prince of the Saiya-Jins and no one should mock his race whether it was extinct or not. He lunged towards El Peligro (whip cracks) trying to knock him out with one blow. As he was about to make the connection, his target disappeared and reappeared behind him. Vegeta's patience was wearing thin.
"FINAL FLASH!" He screamed but El Peligro (whip cracks) just dodged it. Everyone watched with amazement as El Peligro (whip cracks) dodged all of Vegeta's attacks.
"It's like he knows everything that Vegeta's throwing at him in advance!" Gohan commented. That was all it took to trigger a memory in Ash's head.
**FLASHBACK**
"Ah. Here's the next person on my 'list of things to kill'! But of course I'm not going to kill you, just need some info."
"Info…" Ash said to himself.
**END FLASHBACK**
"Ohmigosh! He does!! He must have got to some of your other friends that have fought against Vegeta and know his attacks!" Ash exclaimed. El Peligro (whip cracks) stopped and started applauding.
"Bravo! Bravo! I'm actually quite surprised that you got that Ash!"
"Who did you get?" Misty asked.
"Do the names Yamcha, Tien, Chouzu, Master Roshi, Buu and Ubuu ring a bell?"
"Eh no." Trunks said Phoebe style. The Z senshi lunged for him and tried their luck. Goku aimed a kick at him but El Peligro (whip cracks) disappeared and the kick hit Piccolo in the face. Stunned, Piccolo wiped the blood away and aimed a punch at El Peligro (whip cracks) but to no avail. Everyone was getting extremely pissed so they decided to think up a plan.
"We could fuse." Trunks said. They knew that Gotenks was usually a last resort but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"FUSION…HA!" They shouted and in a flash of light Gotenks appeared in front of them doing his usual pose.
"I am Gotenks and I will defeat you!" He said in his double voice. He charged up against El Peligro (whip cracks) and landed quite a few kicks. Gotenks was hit in the stomach causing the wind to get knocked out of him but quickly recovered.
"You're not getting out that easily! KA…ME…HA…ME…HA!" Gotenks screamed as he threw the Kamehameha at El Peligro (whip cracks). El Peligro (whip cracks) put his hands in front of him to try and block the shot.
"He's not actually thinking of blocking that is he?" Krillin asked sceptically but no one answered him. What they had seen so far was unbelievable and they still didn't know what he was capable of. El Peligro (whip cracks) planted his feet firmly on the ground ready to catch the Kamehameha. He blocked the shot well but it was still pushing him back. He finally charged up a chi ball and deflected the shot. It went hurdling right towards Gotenks and hit him sending him charging towards the ground at great speed. As the smoke cleared on the ground lay Goten and Trunks badly bruised and bleeding, they were both unconscious.
"Unbelievable!! He actually caused Goten and Trunks to defuse!!" Gohan said with shock in his voice.
"I've had enough of you El Peligro (whip cracks)! This ends right now!!" Krillin screamed. He put his arm in the air. "DISTRUCTO DISC…ENGAGE!" He screamed as the Distructo Disc hurled towards El Peligro (whip cracks) but he just grinned. (That's right, I only have access to the NA version of DBZ. No tapes, no fansubs, nothing!! All because I live in the UK! -_-)
"Time to catch the Frisbee!" El Peligro (whip cracks) said cockily. He turned his hand into a blade and cut the Distructo Disc in half.
"NANI?!!" Everyone screamed. (NOOOOOOOOOO!) Gohan put his fingers underneath his chin and 'hmm'ed while everyone was wiggin over what had just happened.
"I can't believe it!! The Distructo Disc can cut through anything!! I don't understand this!" Goku cried. Gohan walked over to where Goten and Trunks were but was stopped short by a blast.
"I'll give you one chance to surrender but if you don't. Hey it's your funeral!" El Peligro (whip cracks) said smugly.
"Like hell we'll surrender! You can't do anything to us that we already don't know about!" Vegeta shouted. El Peligro (whip cracks) formed his hands as if he were shaping a ball. A small chi ball formed in his hand and was growing larger.
"SUPREME GUN FIRE!!!" El Peligro (whip cracks) screamed as the blast headed for the Z senshi. Ash hurled himself and Misty out of the way before the enormous attack hit them. The blast was big enough to devour the whole Z senshi and as hard as they tried to block it they wouldn't be able to hold it much longer.
"We need to move out of the way. This blast has damaged us pretty badly and we won't be able to fight him after this!" Gohan choked out. El Peligro (whip cracks) decided to turn up the juice and added extra energy to the blast.
"Oh no!" Pan screamed. As the smoke cleared the Z senshi were standing with their hands above their heads. They all looked up expecting the blast to be hitting them but saw nothing but the sky.
"Oookay!" Piccolo said confused.
"What the hell?" El Peligro (whip cracks) asked himself, letting his guard down long enough so that Goku and Gohan could do a double attack on him. Goku kicked and punched as did Gohan but El Peligro (whip cracks) kept dodging their attacks. Piccolo was grinding his teeth and couldn't bear it any longer. He also went to go take a shot at El Peligro (whip cracks) with Krillin close behind. Unlike the others, Vegeta was trying to work out a strategy seeing that El Peligro (whip cracks) was whipping their butts (literally and figuratively!) His face lit up as if an imaginary light bulb appeared above his head.
"Hey brats!" He said motioning for Ash and Misty to come. "He hasn't gotten to anybody who knows your fighting styles, so as much as it kills me to say this…"
"What?" Ash asked, although he knew what Vegeta was going to say but he just wanted to hear it from the 'Saiya-Jin Prince'.
"We need your help." Vegeta said defeated. He felt as though his ego was the size of a cornflake instead of the same size as the world. Vegeta looked at the fight and could see that they were getting tired. Goku had gone SSJ 3 and Gohan had gone SSJ 2. He knew that they couldn't last much longer out there. He waved his hand to give them permission to enter the fight. They zipped across to the scene. Son Goku was worn out, as was his son and his two friends. El Peligro (whip cracks) managed a final chi blast knocking them about three feet away. He laughed as he watched the greatest warriors in the Universe fall under his hands. He felt an emotion that he hadn't felt ever since he was a child. (He was a child?!) He let out an evil laugh that was so evil it could strike fear in the heart of a normal man. He was so engrossed in his laughter that he didn't see the foot connect with his jaw. He crashed into a rock. He got up and rubbed his head, his vision cleared and he could see two figures in front of him.
"You!" He spat out in disgust.
"What's the matter? Did you think you could get rid of us that easily?" Misty asked smugly as she powered up. Ash followed her example. El Peligro (whip cracks) was shocked that their power could increase so much in such a short amount of time. Ash and Misty both lunged towards him and attacked him with a flurry of kick and punches, which had great impact on him. Ash and Misty rose up into the air to try their final attacks.
"KA…ME…HA…ME…HA!!!" Ash and Misty screamed. The attack blasted El Peligro (whip cracks). Again, everyone waited until the smoke cleared. Vegeta's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe his eyes. El Peligro (whip cracks) was standing there, still alive, hardly phased. The only remotely bad thing that happened to him was that his robes were slightly shredded. He dusted himself off as he got up.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE! DAMNIT!! WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?" Ash shouted with a rage neither Misty nor Alley had ever seen him possess.
"Do you want the long version or the short?" He asked with a grin.
"Whichever. We have the time." Gohan asked.
"Well to tell you the truth I was testing you. Seeing if you were giving your all before I gave mine. You see I'm not even at a fraction of my true power yet!"
"NANI?!" Everyone shouted. (Seems to be a popular phrase with these guys today. ^_^;;)
"Yes it's true. I have been taking you on a wild goose chase. But, you know, I'm looking around and seeing that the whole class isn't present. Tsk, tsk is someone playing hookie? Don't just stand there with blank expressions, you know who I'm talking about!" Alley was about to get up when Goku got to her mentally.
**Alley!**
**Is that you Goku-san?**
**Yes. Now listen, under any circumstances I don't want you to come and fight.**
**But-**
**I'm sorry but it's too dangerous.**
**But I have to. If I don't come out innocent people will die!! This has already happened once to often!!**
**What do you mean?**
**I mean history is going to repeat itself if I don't fight.**
**I'm still not following you.**
**Goku-san, I'd rather go back to school than to disobey yours and Gohan's orders but this is something that I can't explain. Y'know, some things are better left-**
**Unsaid. I understand what you're trying to say but…** Goku tried to think of something to reassure her that she needn't come and fight but he never liked to lie. He knew that the odds were against them and that they needed all the help they could get. With Yamcha, Tien and Ubbu they may have stood a better chance but they were out of the running. His train of thoughts were interrupted.
"Well!! I know she's here so she had better show herself or else." He stopped and aimed an attack at the now barely standing Goten. He was too weak to block it and closed his eyes. When nothing happened he opened them to see Alley standing in front of him breathing heavily.
"You saved me!" He said wistfully.
"Couldn't let you die just yet sweetheart." She replied giving him a wink. She walked towards El Peligro (whip cracks), every step her fear growing and growing but so was her anger. She stopped when she got to Gohan. She bowed.
"Gomen nasai Gohan-san." She walked on until she was about a foot away from El Peligro (whip cracks). She looked him up and down. For someone so powerful he was awfully small. She blinked with disbelief. He was at least a foot shorter than she was, which would make him 4,9".
"This is it? I mean, I at least thought you'd be taller!! The phrase 'pick on someone your own size' kind of escaped you, didn't it?" She said folding her arms across her chest.
"You may be cocky now but when I'm done with you…"
"I'll still be cocky cause you ain't gonna do jack to me."
"Is that so?"
"It is." She said flicking her hair out of her face.
"Are you meant to be scaring me with those brave words, little girl?"
"Nope. Just giving you words to defend yourself with when you meet Frieza."
"Are we just gonna argue or get down to fighting?"
"I'm not going to fight you unless you show your true abilities."
"Alley are you crazy?!" Trunks cried.
"He'll kill you!" Gohan cried.
"If I'm right, which of course I am, I won't die. Today."
"Oh yes you will! SUPREME GUM FIRE!" El Peligro (whip cracks) screamed. Alley just stood there, not moving until the blast was too close. With a wave of her hands the shot stopped, turned and shot towards El Peligro (whip cracks). He reacted just in time to deflect the shot.
"Holy…" He said gob smacked. Everyone turned to look at Alley.
"Did I do that? Hehehehe!" She snorted Urkel style.
"I don't believe it! So you're the little bitch who saved them before!"
"In a word, yes." She replied smiling like Vegeta.
"She is so damn gorgeous when she's mad." Goten said.
"Dude!" Trunks said fake-shocked. El Peligro (whip cracks) clenched his fists. He never imagined that this girl could be so powerful.
"One question. Do you have mental powers?"
"No. It's just that your beam didn't like you and decided to turn on you!" She replied sarcastically.
"Well being that you're so powerful, it's not fair that you have all of your friends helping you out."
"What exactly are you getting at?" Piccolo asked.
"Me her, one on one battle."
"Uh-uh, no way, not happening in this lifetime buddy!" Ash said.
"Why, is she chicken?"
"Hell no!" She shouted just about to run at him but Ash grabbed her in a full nelson. She struggled for him to let her go.
"Lemme go!! C'mon Ash!! I can take the little bugger!! Lemme goo!! I'm serious!!!" Seeing that he wasn't going to let go anytime soon she decided to use THE LAST RESORT (this was mentioned in the previous story but was never found out about).
"ASHFORD STEWART KETCHUM LEMME GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" She screamed. In awe that she had used THE LAST RESORT he let go.
"I can't believe you did that!" He managed to choke out. Misty started to giggle. "Shut up Misty it's not funny!"
"Yes it is Ashford!" She laughed. El Peligro (whip cracks) was becoming impatient.
"Okay, if you're not going to let her fight me then that leaves me with no other choice." He raised his hands, the sky turned black, the clouds were swirling, and lightning was flashing.
"Why is there no rain? It adds to the effect and I'm thirsty." Piccolo said disappointed.
"Enough with the light show, what are you doing?" Krillin asked. El Peligro (whip cracks) smiled evilly.
"This." He transported everybody, including Pan, to a dark, damp place that looked like a cave. "Welcome to my crib!" He said as lightning cracked through the sky.
"Now that was effective!" Piccolo said nodding approvingly.
"You are in my territory now so whatever I say goes, comprende?"
"Not bloody likely!!" Vegeta shouted.
"Oh I have to argue your highness." He bowed mockingly. Before Vegeta or anybody else could do anything El Peligro (whip cracks) lifted them up in the air and made sure they couldn't move. He moved his hands again and lifted Alley down. She broke herself free from his grasp and levitated in the air. He smiled but she flipped him off.
"My such bad manners, what would your mother say about that?"
"She'd be cheering me on." Alley replied icily.
"Well then, she wasn't much of a mother, was she?" Alley's eyes widened with anger and rage. How dare he say those things about her mother? She thought to herself. Within a matter of seconds she was holding El Peligro (whip cracks) by the neck pinned to a wall.
"Take it back." She hissed through her teeth. He didn't reply which caused her rage to rocket. "I SAID TAKE IT BACK, MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Everyone gasped. They had never seen her use language that bad. If she were a Saiya-Jin she would be turning SSJ 5 right now. El Peligro (whip cracks) pushed her.
"Make me."
"With pleasure." She dove right into him punching and kicking shooting blasts at him every chance she got. He was throwing a few of his on too but he was no match for her. He was losing fast and he knew it. He braced himself as she powered up an attack. She grabbed her wrist and put her hands above her forehead.
"MASENKO!!" She screamed as she poured the energy on. His flesh burning as he was slowly being devoured in to nothingness. The smoke cleared and only his robes were left on the floor.
"You did it!! He's gone!" Ash cried.
"No, he's still here." Alley said throwing her hands up in exasperation.
"NANI?!" They all shouted. (Methinks that this is beginning to wear thin -_-)
"He may have no chi but I can still sense that he is here. Call it a psychic hunch."
"Very good. But that still won't save you!" El Peligro (whip cracks) voice echoed through the cave.
"Show your sorry ass!" Alley shouted.
"Love to. But if you'll just give me a minute to gather my bearings…" El Peligro (whip cracks) was interrupted.
"Do I look like the forgiving type? Show yourself before I have to drag you out like the dog that you are!" She shouted angrily.
"Oh fine! Jeez, you'd think she would want me to take my time!" El Peligro (whip cracks) said as he showed himself.
"Is anyone besides me hearing a whip cracking? I mean, seriously, it's really getting on my nerves!" Piccolo said looking for the source.
"What are you talking about Piccolo?" Gohan asked, slightly fearing that his sensei had lost his mind.
"Piccolo must've had tainted water." Trunks said grinning.
"I didn't know you had it in you Namek!" Vegeta said presently surprised.
"You're out of your mind!" Goten sang. (Posh Spice's solo song.)
"SHUT UP!! I'M SERIOUS!!" Piccolo shouted above Goku and Krillin's laughter.
"Do you mind?" El Peligro (whip cracks) asked exasperated.
"There it is again!" Piccolo cried but shut up after Gohan gave him a look.
"I've had enough of your games little girl! This ends now!" El Peligro (whip cracks) lifted his hands as if he was holding Alley's neck. Alley slowly felt her oxygen supply being cut off. She fell to her knees gasping for air. She tried to get up onto her feet despite the fact that she felt light headed.
"Oh no you don't!" He used his other hand to hold her leg to the ground. She tried and tried but the lack of oxygen wasn't helping. She fell to the ground and blacked out.
"ALLEY NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Ash cried.
**Alley, can you hear me?**
"C'mon, don't tell me you didn't hear that?" Piccolo asked.
"Actually, I did!" Gohan said surprised. Everyone else agreed that they heard the voice.
"That voice…it sounds so familiar!" Ash murmured.
"Yeah!" Misty agreed.
**Alley wake up!! You have to use your powers. Mind over muscle, remember?** Alley slowly opened her eyes.
"Sabrina, is that you?" Alley choked out.
"YOU MEAN SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH?!" Trunks and Goten exclaimed. (^_^;;)
"No, it's Sabrina from Saffron City!" Misty explained.
"So that's where Alley went last night!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!!" Vegeta screamed.
"It's a long story!" Ash said rubbing his hand behind his head.
**Mind over muscle!! I don't want to repeat myself girl, just do it!!**
"Alright!" Alley shut her eyes and concentrated. Slowly but surely, she got up and started levitating.
"Impossible!!" El Peligro (whip cracks) cried. Alley put her two forefingers on each temple of her head. She powered up again and a blue aura formed around her. El Peligro (whip cracks) eyes suddenly widened in realisation.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!! THAT ATTACK WILL KILL US BOTH!!" El Peligro (whip cracks) screamed.
"NANI?!!" They all shouted. (Ay, again with the nani!!!)
**Alley, he's right!! It's not worth killing yourself. You're not experienced enough, it won't kill him it'll kill you!**
"Well, it may not kill him but it will drain him of any psychic attacks he may have up his sleeve. The frickin baka!!" Alley said as the aura around her grew larger.
"Don't do it Alley, it's suicide!!" Gohan shouted.
"Please Alley!" Pan cried.
"Alley, don't do it!" Ash and Misty screamed.
"Y'know I'm gonna do it, what's the point in trying to stop me!" Alley shouted back with a smirk.
**If I didn't know she was an earthling I could have sworn she was a Saiya-Jin!** Vegeta thought to himself. El Peligro (whip cracks) prepared him self for one hell of a beating. Alley was almost finished; the Z senshi was trying to break free to stop her, save for Piccolo who was still trying to figure out where all these strange noises were coming from and Vegeta who seemed to be the only one who understood why she was doing this. Flashbacks flooded through Alley's mind of when she first met Ash, when she first met Gary and beat him up ^_^, when her mother was killed, when she moved away, when she completed the 9th grade at the age of 14 in Military School, when she fell for Goten, when she met up with Ash again…her decision was final.
And just as it gets the slightest bit interesting I go and say to be continued. There is at least one more part to this so stay tuned or watch this space or (grabs her head) ayy I dunno!!! Just be alert. A'ight!!
