Race For the Dragon Balls: Part 3
By Robster80
Note: Sorry for the wait, gang. I got too wrapped up in other projects, but now I can finally get to this series. In this part, we will reveal the villain you, the fans, voted for (Most of you anyway). So, as of now, the polls are closed! Thank you all for voting.
Kodachi Kuno laughed loudly as she held her two Dragon Balls over her head. Her ninjas had taken one before Ryoga and Tarou could get it only yesterday. "Now I only have five more to find, and then Ranma-darling will be all mine! OH-HO-HO-HO-HO!"
Suddenly, her bedroom door was flung open to reveal her brother, Tatewaki, and one other man whom she did not recognize. "Sister," Kuno said. "I would have words with thee."
Kodachi clutched her Balls, fearing her brother would take them from her and ruin her plan. "Brother, you have no right to barge into my room in such a manner! And I will never let you come between me and my Ranma-darling, not when I am so close to having him all to myself-!"
In a flash, the man with Kuno appeared behind Kodachi and struck the back of her neck, causing her to fall to the floor, out cold. The Balls she had been holding rolled over to the man's feet, where they stopped for him to pick up. "That laugh is so..." he said. "Eerie!"
Kuno nodded in disgust. "And annoying."
Sasuke suddenly entered the room and saw Kodachi lying on the floor. He glared at the man and said, "What have you done to mistress Kodachi?!"
Kuno calmly said, "Sasuke, see to it that my sister is well bound and locked in her room. Use her sleeping potions, if you must, but keep her here until I say otherwise. Vegeta, we have what we came for. Let us return to the others." He spoke to Vegeta in a suggestive tone, fearing the wrath of the powerful man who had flown him back to his home.
********************************************************************************
Ranma and Akane stood in front of "Ucchan's," holding hands. Akane looked at Ranma. "Do you want me to stay out here?"
Her fiancée shook his head. "No. We'll face this together, Akane. In case I need to hold Ukyo down while you search for the Ball, it'll be better that way."
Akane nodded. She knew that Ranma was stronger than she was, especially since his training with Vegeta, and she trusted him. It was amazing how much they got along after she started to trust him. She no longer saw him as a womanizing pervert, but an unfortunate guy with a bad father and who couldn't help attracting rivals, fiancées, and cold water. Now, she was faithful to him.
Ranma took a deep breath, then led Akane into the building. This isn't going to be easy, he thought. But then again there is no easy way out of things like this.
Ukyo came out of the storeroom with a hint of anger. "We're closed-." she started to say before she finally realized who had walked in. Her face hardened as her next sentence came out dripping with venom. "Oh, it's you two."
Ranma took Akane's hand into his and gave her a reassuring squeeze. "Ukyo, this has gone on long enough. Why do you insist on trying to break up Akane and me?"
Ukyo stared at him. "Because, you jackass, I'M your fiancée! I'm the cute one, and I can cook better than the kitchen destroyer over there."
Akane was about to retort, but Ranma quickly said, "For your information, Akane's cooking has improved a lot. The only times I got sick from her meals were from food poisoning because of an expired ingredient she accidentally put in. And she wouldn't cook for me if she didn't care about me."
This made Akane happy inside, until Ukyo then said, "Damn it, Ranma-honey! For over a year, she's done nothing to you but pound you, insult you, try to poison you, and always got you into trouble by getting kidnapped and then you have to rescue her because her old man said so."
Akane glared at Ukyo and said, "And that makes you a saint?! You and the other girls treat him nothing more than some stupid prize to be fought over and never let him have his say in it."
Ranma nodded. "And she only fought with me because I insulted her first. As for the kidnappings, no one ever asked for them to happen. As for our 'engagement,' our fathers arranged it when we were only ten. For Kami's sake, I thought you were a boy! Also, you may be cute, but Akane's beautiful. That was what I meant when I called her uncute. I'm sorry, Ukyo, but I love Akane and I will marry her, not because of any engagement made by our fathers, but because I choose to!"
Ukyo was furious. She had put up with a lot over the past two years waiting for Ranma to come to his senses and marry her, and now it seemed it was all for nothing. "Well, I'm not going to let you go without a fight! You'll marry me or marry no one at all!"
Ranma took his free arm and brought it down hard on a nearby table, smashing it. "Over your dead body, Kuonji," he snarled as his anger was slowly getting the better of him. "Now give us the Dragon Ball you're hiding or else we'll tear the place apart to get it!"
Ukyo froze in shock. She had seen Ranma angry before, but never like this. How the hell did he know about the Ball? She tried to keep her cool as she said, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Suddenly, there was a crashing sound coming from the storeroom. Ukyo quickly dashed back to it with Ranma and Akane right behind her.
They saw Shampoo and Cologne trying to escape through an open window and a smashed crate on the floor. Shampoo was holding Ukyo's Dragon Ball. Ukyo saw this and grabbed her battle spatula from hammerspace (I didn't make this up, someone else did. It's where Akane gets her mallet to bash Ranma), and shouted, "That's mine, you thieving hussy!"
The Amazons quickly dodged the attack, causing Ukyo to hit the wall. Shampoo leapt at Ranma, glomped him, and said, "Wo Ai Ne, Airen," before she kissed him. She expected Akane to get angry, but what she didn't expect was Ranma pushing her off by the shoulders, wipe his lips and say, "Yuck! I've been poisoned!"
The young Amazon was shocked, but she heard Cologne say "Shampoo, now is not the time! We have the Ball, so let's go!" Shampoo nodded and got up, still holding onto the Ball they had stolen. "Shampoo be back for Ranma! Is promise!" With that, she followed Cologne out the window and escaped.
Ranma tried to go after them, but he was hit in the head by Ukyo's spatula. "Damn you!" she shouted at the now unconscious Ranma. "You've ruined my life again! WHY, RANMA-HONEY?! WHY?!?!" Tears formed in her eyes as Akane picked up her fiancée and glared at her.
"You don't really love him," she said calmly. "You're being selfish. We'll repay you for what Genma did to you, but Ranma will not marry you, nor will I give him up." Not saying anything more, Akane carried Ranma out of the room and then out of the building, leaving Ukyo to cry alone.
********************************************************************************
Happosai finally returned to the altar where the evil ghost was waiting for him. The old pervert was holding a sack filled with several lizards some bottles of blood stolen from blood banks, and two skeletons. "I've gotten the ingredients, and doubled them," he cackled. "Will this be satisfactory to you?"
The black misty face broke a grin. "Indeed, for I have been told that you will have not one, but TWO willing servants. The one's older brother has agreed to help you."
This made Happy grin deviously. "Perfect! Now, what's next? I want to make Ranma pay and now!"
"Patience, old lech! You must now speak this incantation..."
A large scroll appeared before Happosai, who began to unroll it. "This'll take all afternoon!"
********************************************************************************
Ranma woke with a start as he felt cold water hit him and change him into his girl form. "What the hell-?" she began, until she saw Akane before him, holding the bucket. "Oh, sorry! What happened?"
Akane helped Ranma-chan up. "Ukyo hit you, and Shampoo got away with her Ball. That makes two for her and Cologne now."
"And four for us," came a voice from above. They looked to see Vegeta and Kuno fly down to them. Kuno was holding two Dragon Balls, and smiling. "My dear sister shall be resting whilst we continue our search for the remaining spheres."
Ranma-chan felt awkward since Kuno no longer was trying to date "her" anymore, but it was some relief. "Thanks, Tatewaki. Now, with Ukyo out of the race, that leaves Shampoo, the old ghoul, Ryoga, and Tarou."
Vegeta nodded. "That reminds me, I wonder how that girl Akari did trying to convince him to give up? We'd better head back to the Lookout and regroup, not to mention see how the Namek is faring with Mousse."
********************************************************************************
King Kai was standing by himself as Goku talked with his father, Bardock. He had been granted permission to see his son for good behavior and they were catching up on tales of battles. Suddenly, Goku turned to Kai and asked, "Hey, King Kai! How are things going down on Earth for Vegeta and the others?"
The guardian of the Northern Galaxy didn't move, but said, "So far, Vegeta, Ranma, and their allies have four Dragon Balls now, the Amazons two, and Ryoga and Tarou one. But, I've got a bad feeling. Happosai has some sinister plan going on, but what it is I'm not sure of yet."
Suddenly, King Kai snapped back as if a powerful jolt had struck him. "HOLY SHIT! He's planning to resurrect two powerful warriors from Hell!"
Goku stood up. "Cell?!"
"Not sure. But whoever they are, you've fought them before. That I'm definitely sure of. We'd better warn Vegeta and Ranma about this and quick!"
********************************************************************************
Vegeta and the others landed back on Kami's Lookout to see Mousse, Piccolo, and Akari waiting for them. Mousse was wearing a gi similar to Piccolo's and his glasses were no where to be seen. Ranma said, "Mousse? You okay?"
Mousse looked at him and smiled. "Never felt better, Ranma. Not only did I get a few months worth of training, but also Kami somehow restored my sight. I can truly see clearly now."
Vegeta carefully examined the male Amazon, then glanced over at Piccolo. "Not bad, Namek. He's nowhere near Ranma's level, but he should be good enough to win against this Shampoo." He then walked over to Akari. "Well?"
Akari sighed. "I couldn't convince him. He's still going to fight for you, Akane, because he claims to be saving you from Ranma."
Mousse groaned. "And I thought I was blind."
Vegeta!
Everyone but Piccolo and Vegeta looked around to see who was speaking. Vegeta frowned. "And what do you want now, Kakarrot?"
Aakne looked over at Piccolo. "Who's Kakarrot?"
Piccolo didn't look at her, but said, "Kakarrot is the real name of Goku, one of the planet's greatest fighters, and a Saiyan like Vegeta. He died two years ago in the Cell Games, saving the world from exploding. Goku's calling us from the afterlife telepathically."
"SILENCE!" Vegeta shouted. "Although what Kakarrot is going to say isn't important, I'm trying to listen!"
It IS important, Vegeta! I got word that Happosai is going to resurrect two evil fighters to get Ranma, and that these two are ones that we've fought before. We're not sure who they are just yet, but one could be Cell.
Vegeta was scared of this news, but he hid it with a hardened face. Damn! We were lucky to survive our last encounter with that freak, so I doubt we'd be lucky again since Trunks has gone home and Kakarrot is dead. "What do you think we should do?"
STOP THE RESURRECTION, YOU FOOL! What the hell do you think you should do? Unless you want to get your ass kicked again like before, and you know what I'm talking about!
Vegeta hated to admit it, but Goku was right. He had made this mistake before by letting Dr. Gero activate Androids 17 and 18, and by letting Cell attain his perfect form, instead of destroying them when he had the chance. He did NOT want a repeat of those situations ever again. "Very well, Kakarrot, but only to humor you."
Facing the others, he said, "Ranma, you and Akane are with me. We will go stop this Happosai from summoning these fighters. Mousse, you and Kuno shall go deal with the Amazons. Piccolo, I want you to go and get Kakarrot's son, Gohan. If Cell is one of the two, then there must be no room for error."
Kuno then said, "Shouldn't we find Mr. Satan? He's the one who defeated this Cell-."
Vegeta shouted, "THAT BUFFOON?! He did nothing but watch the fight and proved his stupidity by taking credit for someone else's victory! Kakarrot's son was the one who killed Cell, and though I hate admitting it, he's the one we will need just in case. Now, let's go before it's too late!"
Ranma grabbed Akane gently and flew off after Vegeta to find Happosai. Mousse grabbed Kuno and flew off in another direction, as did Piccolo.
********************************************************************************
Happosai had read most of the scroll and was on the last few chants. Once he finished, he rolled up the scroll and then brought it down on the sack hard, like a staff. Once the scroll hit the sack, a blood red light appeared, and a shock wave forced the old martial artist back a few feet. The earth shook as the light increased. Two dark silhouettes began to appear from the light.
Happosai looked up and laughed loud and evilly. "It's working! Look out, Ranma!"
********************************************************************************
In the Afterlife, King Kai felt the shock wave and two evil power levels. "Oh no," he said. "Not them! Not both of them!!"
********************************************************************************
Ryoga and Tarou stumbled as the ground began to shake. They heard a familiar voice laughing from nearby, and Tarou grew angry. "Happosai!" he snarled. "What is that old pervert up to now?" Both boys took off to investigate.
********************************************************************************
Gohan sat in his room, studying for his mother, as usual. Suddenly, He felt two familiar power levels he had not felt in a long time. He gripped his pencil to tight that it broke into a hundred pieces. "It can't be!" he said silently. "Not those two together!"
Quickly, Gohan threw on the gi that resembled his father's old one and flew out the window to find the new old threats. If it's a fight they want, they'll get one! Prepare for some shocks, you two!
********************************************************************************
Vegeta and Ranma stopped flying and merely floated. They suddenly felt two power levels, both evil. Akane asked, "What is it?"
Ranma's eyes widened from the huge powers. "We're too late! That old fool's completed the resurrection."
Vegeta's eyes also went wide, but then narrowed as he sensed the familiar aura. It wasn't Cell he silently thanked God for that. Neither of the two powers were him. But, he knew who one was, and became angry. A name escaped his lips with icy hate.
"Frieza!"

Notes: And da winner is... FRIEZA!! He got the most votes among Dr. Gero, the Ginyu Force (Specifically Ginyu himself), Goku (yes someone voted for him) Daruba (from the Buu saga, which doesn't take place YET!), and even Piccolo Daimao. Thanks for voting, everybody, and because someone asked, I've decided to have Frieza bring someone back with him. There's a hint up in the fic somewhere, but If you can't figure it out, here's another: DBZ movie #5.
I'll be back! -R80
