Assassins: Day Two
Chapter 3: Super Soaker Showdown
Marron was going over to Trunks' house to
hang out when she spotted someone. It wasn't your average someone
either. This "someone" was wearing long-sleeved army
fatigues in 80 degree weather, and a black knit cap on their
head. They also had one of the biggest water guns Marron had ever
seen.
Oh boy. I hope that isn't my assassin.
Marron thought nervously. Too bad it was. Marron started to run
in the direction of the Capsule Corp., hoping to get in there
before the assassin caught up with her. Since the other person
was gaining, and fast, she stopped, sighed, and pumped up her
gun. Trunks just happen to choose that time to land on the
ground. He looked between the two with some confusion.
"What is going on?" he asked.
"Well Trunks, I have a strong feeling
that this is my assassin. I'm not going down this easy!"
Trunks smiled and walked into his house.
Suddenly you could hear a very loud shouted, "Guess
what?! Kaasan and Marron are having it out in the front
yard!" He reappeared outside with Pan, Bra, & Goten.
Trunks popped some capsules and some chairs appeared. They all
sat down and got comfortable.
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
Trunks asked. "Go ahead and get started!"
"Thanks for the encouragement
Trunks," Marron said sarcastically.
Bra also spotted her target. She quietly
slipped away and made her way over to him. He didn't notice a
thing!

The things Bra does will be in-between
these = [ ]
~~~
Marron and Bulma cautiously circled each
other, each pair of eyes not straying far from the others face.
Suddenly Bulma shot at Marron and the other easily dodged it.
"HA! You'll have to do better than
that!"
[Bra approached around the back of the
gravity chamber and made sure her ki was kept low...]
"How about this being better?"
Bulma ran straight at her and sent a series of short blasts
directly at her. Marron just barely dodged and ducked. She ran
around the side of the house and hid behind the building housing
Bulma's lab. Their "audience" followed.
[Bra got into position and pumped her
gun...]
Bulma ran around the other side. Marron
just stood where she was, panting, and trying to come up with a
plan.
[Bra took careful aim...]
Marron backed up, warily watching for
Bulma. She didn't know that Bulma was backing from the other
side.
[Bra pulled the trigger and a large stream
of water shot out...]
Marron and Bulma bumped into each other and
each turned around at the same time.
[The water hit Vegeta dead in his chest,
causing his eyes to widen in surprise...]
Bulma was quicker with the trigger and so
she pulled it about 5 seconds faster than Marron.
[Bra began to laugh. She walked right up to
her Father and said, "Gotcha!" Vegeta began to laugh
and then he ran at her, causing her to turn and run...]
The water hit Marron and Bulma said the
magic word to her target, "Gotcha!" Bulma walked away
towards the front of the house with a stunned Marron close
behind.
[Bra ran as fast as she could for the front
of the house where she promptly collided with her Kaasan,
knocking then both off their feet.]
***
"I got Papa out! I got Papa out!"
Bra sang as she got up and danced around.
"You did?!" Pan, Trunks, Goten,
Marron, and Bulma asked in unison. That was when Vegeta came into
view with a large wet spot on the front of his shirt.
"So you did..." Bulma mutter
incredulously as she got up as well.
Bra noticed and stopped her victory dance.
"Are you all right Kaasan? I'm sorry, I didn't see
you."
"It's all right. I'm fine." Bulma
walked up to Vegeta and began laughing in his face. "You
know you have to tell Karin!" she turned to Marron.
"Marron, you too."
Bra spoke up. "Oh! This is a rule I
forgot to say. I'll tell Karin to tell everyone who's out. If you
get out, you still can go after your target, you just can't win.
Let's go to Karin Tower!" Bra, Goten, & Pan took to the
air alone, while Trunks carried Marron & Vegeta carried
Bulma.
Chapter 4: Two People Are Better
Than One
Prologue: The Others Team Up
Roshi, Oolong, Puar, Yamcha, and Yajirobe
all had no idea how to get their targets. They all either had
saiyans, androids, best-friends, or carefully guarded mates of
saiyans. They all had their work cut out for them.
"I say we join forces. There is
nothing in the rules against it." Oolong told them.
"Yeah!" Puar cried. "That's
a wonderful idea. I'm with Yamcha!" Yamcha smiled at her.
"I guess I'm with Roshi." Oolong
said. "What about you Yajirobe?"
"I'll go with you guys. I don't know
how I'm going to get her. I need some help."
"Good! Then it's all settled. Let's
get to work." Master Roshi said.
"YEAH!"
Part 1: Operation Oolong
"You got Bulma, eh? You are sooooo
lucky!" Master Roshi said. "I wanted her! I got
Videl."
Yajirobe sighed. "I got
Juuhachi-gou."
"You did?! You're going to
lose..." Oolong told him.
"I had already figured that out
pig." Yajirobe said bitterly.
"If you have a proper plan you won't.
Here's what you have to do...." Oolong said. Operation
Oolong was in effect!
***
"Are you sure this is going to
work?" Yajirobe asked. They were standing on Krillin's front
porch 20 minutes later.
"Sure I'm sure. Now go and knock on
the door." Roshi and Oolong ran and hid behind a bush.
Yajirobe complied and knocked. He pulled
the skirt (yes skirt!) of his uniform down and shifted the box in
his hand. Juu-chan came to the door.
"What do you want?" she asked.
Yajirobe plastered one of the most false,
sugary-sweet smiles on his face (as sweet as he could ever
manage) and began to speak.
"Hi! Do you want some Martial Scout
Cupcakes?"
"Do I want WHAT?!"
"Martial Scout Cupcakes!"
Juuhachi-gou was extremely tempted to slam
the door in his face, but one of her New Years resolutions was to
not be so cold to everyone. She sighed and reached into her
pocket for some money.
"How much?"
Yajirobe smirked and drew his hand out of
the box, water gun at ready. He pulled the trigger and was
knocked down by the force of the door hitting him in the face.
"YOU CAN'T GET ME THAT EASILY! I HAVE
A QUICKER REACTION TIME THAN YOU THOUGHT! TRY AGAIN!"
Juuhachi-gou yelled and began to cackle evilly.
Roshi and Oolong hurried over to their
"partner-in-crime".
"Are you okay?" Roshi asked him.
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M OKAY?!"
Yajirobe stumbled to his feet, pulled down his skirt (but not
before he flashed everyone within a ten-mile radius), and trudged
down the walkway, with his companions behind him.
"Well, you'll just have to try
again."
"I'll just fail again."
"Try...." Roshi trailed off. He
had seen the prettiest girl walk down right in front of him.
"Hey Miss! Do you want to humor an old man? Heh heh
heh!" He ran off after her.
Oolong and Yajirobe sweatdropped and
proceeded to the Capsule Corp. Maybe their targets will be there
later on.
Part 2: Puar Gets a Chance
"Oh Yamcha! Do you have a date
tonight?" Puar asked cheerfully.
"No... why do you ask?"
"Just wonderin'."
"I still need a way to get Bra! It
should be so easy since she's just a kid, but it's not."
While he was walking and talking, he failed to notice that Puar
had a mini-water gun (like the kind you put on a key chain) and
was currently taking aim at the back of his head. He suddenly
turned around when he failed to get a reaction and Puar hid her
gun behind her back.
"Puar, what were you just doing?"
Yamcha asked suspiciously.
"Uh nothing?"
This seemed to satisfy him for he shrugged
and began to continue on his way to the Cap. Corp.
***
Puar tried and tried all the way there, but
she just couldn't do it. He was her best friend after all. She
didn't realize she had stopped floating along beside Yamcha until
he gently shook her.
"Puar? Are you okay? You don't look
too good."
"I'm fine. I just need to rest a bit,
that's all."
"You can do that once we get to the
Capsule Corp. I need to get Bra any how."
"Uh yeah. Right." They continued
on their way.
Chapter 5: Stalkers and Saiyans
and Guns. Oh My!
Part 1: An Assassin Named Son Goten
Goten had been trying since early that
morning to get his niece. He tried everything: traps, tricks,
lies, EVERYTHING! Nothing worked. She was too alert. The only
good chance he had was during the "Showdown at the Capsule
Corp." that morning and even then she knew...
*BEGIN FLASHBACK*
Goten slyly brought out his gun and pointed
at Pan.
"Uncle Goten! Don't even try it!"
"Try what?" Goten asked
innocently.
"You know..." Pan trailed off and
continue watching the battle.
After Bra had succeeded in nailing her
father, Pan rushed to congratulate her. "Yeah! You go
Bra!"
Now is the perfect time to get her. Heh
heh heh. Goten snuck around a tree and got within water
distance of his niece. He waited to see if she was going to move,
then pulled the trigger. He thought that he was going to get her,
it went directly for her and everything. Trunks just had to block
it, didn't he?
"TRUNKS NO BAKA!" Goten screamed.
"YOU BLOCKED MY SHOT!"
"If he didn't Uncle Goten, you still
would have missed." Pan said as she blew a raspberry at him.
*END FLASHBACK*
I will
get her this time! I have a fail-proof plan! Goten thought
as he saw her leave the safety of his house. He also noticed his
mother, but that didn't really bother him.
"You're mine Son Pan!" he shouted
charging at her.
"BRING IT ON!" Pan whipped out
her weapon and pumped it. ChiChi just stood their and watched
with amusement.
Goten kept advancing and Pan kept backing
up. Suddenly she fell through a hole in the front yard!
Goten ran over and began to laugh at the
stunned girl. "ACME holes! Never leave home without 'em! Now
you're mine!" He began to laugh some more.
While he was doing so, Pan squirted him
right in the face.
"Common sense. Never leave home
without it. HA! You're out for an hour!" She floated out of
the hole, laughing at his misfortune.
Goten looked at her laughing face and lost
it. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Part 2: Krillin Starts to Freak Out
I know
someone is following me! I am not
going crazy! Krillin thought uneasily.
"Uh Tousan?" Marron tapped him on
the shoulder.
"AH!" Krillin jumped about 2 feet
from the ground and turned around in a defense stance. "Oh
it's you Marron. Don't do that!"
"Sorry, but you asked me to help you,
remember?"
"You're right." Krillin walked
over to a lawn chair and sat in it. Little did he know, his
assassin was watching all the while. "I need you to, uh,
trim the hedges for me. I can't quite reach them..."
"Okay Tousan! But why didn't you just
levitate up there?" Marron asked curiously.
"You're right! That is a good
idea!" Krillin laughed nervously, glancing around.
A figure snorted. "You're just scared
I'll attack you. Well you're right, I would. But not in the open
like this."
"Tousan? Are you scared that your
assassin will come and try to get you?"
"Yeah. Aren't you?"
"Don't you know? Bulma-san got me out
this morning. But Vegeta-sama is also out!"
"You're kidding! By who?"
Marron started to laugh. "By
Bra!"
Krillin was getting rather relaxed. He had
all but forgotten about the assassin. Too bad for him. (guess who
it is!)
Just keep on doing what you're doing.
There's nothing here to harm you. You do not need to worry.
Marron keep on talking to him... The figure thought.
"HA!" the figure shouted out loud
as they approached their target.
Krillin and Marron looked up at exactly the
same time. Shouts of: "Kaasan!" and
"Juu-chan!" rang out in unison.
"You're the one who's been following
me? You scared me to death!"
Juuhachi-gou laughed. "I've come to
finish the job!"
Krillin stood and started to back away
slowly, making what he thought were soothing gestures with his
outstretched hands. "Now, now. Can't we talk this
over?"
"You know me Krillin. I never leave
something only half done." It was true. Juuhachi-gou was a
perfectionist. Go figure.
"Can't you do it just this once?"
"NO!" she pulled the trigger.
Krillin closed his eyes and waited for the impact. He was
surprised when he felt another body collide with his own.
"Wha?" Krillin looked around.
Marron had taken the shot for him! This day was just getting too
strange for him. He fainted, the welcoming darkness overtaking
him.
Okay. Now you know who a lot of the Targets
and Assassins are, but you don't know them all. I encourage you
to guess. It's not simple.
