Disclaimers: I wished I owned Dragonball, but Akira Toriyama (Lucky Man).
This is Chapter 2 of what I think will be either 3 or 4 installments. Oh yeah...for you wondering how the title fits with the story...it doesn't.
As you may not know, this is a repost of my VERY first story here. I took it down 'cause I did not like it, but now I feel, you know, why not. It is the first...here we go again....
WELL, ON WITH PART 2 OF...
A Saiyan and His Spandex: A Story of Hope.
"Vegeta, are we supposed to be going to Satan City to get Bulma's shirt?" questioned Goku as he looked at the surroundings of Satan City nervously. He never realized how run down it had become.
"You idiot, we ARE in Satan City!" growled Vegeta.
"Um...it's really shabby Vegeta. Perhaps you went to the wrong..."
"No. I am right. We are in the right place, so shut-up."
As they traveled deeper and deeper into 'Satan City', people began to show up at the corners of the streets and watched them as they passes by. Goku looked over his shoulder and saw a man holding up a sign.
"Get out while you can? Vegeta, I' am scared!" whined Goku.
Vegeta scowled and said "Kakarrot, I am a Saiyan Elite. I can take on any scum bucket that comes my way. So if somebody wants to pick a fight, there going' to regret it. And while I am beating them up, you just hide in the corner, acting like the pathetic third-class baka you are.
The duo traveled a little farther in the city, when Goku spotted a sign. "Hey Vegeta! That sign says 'Free shirts'. Let's stop and see if we can find Bulma a shirt there!" "A blouse you idiot...hmmm...they might have something. Lets stop there." Vegeta said as he gunned the car down the dark street.
They arrived at a small shop located at the end of the street. Vegeta jumped out of the car and began to walk in, leaving the engines running. "Vegeta, are you sure you should leave the engine running, especially in this neighborhood?" questioned Goku as he looked around.
Vegeta stared at Goku for awhile and then began scanning the area for himself:
A group of people stood across the road staring at him. One was grinning at him while fingering something that looked like a gun. Vegeta then looked to his right and saw an elderly lady with a cane who LOOKED innocent enough. Lastly, he looked to his right and came face to face with an old man.
"EWWW...get out of my face you pathetic earthling!" yelled Vegeta. The old man ignored him and grabbed his arm and whispered in a raspy voice, "Leave boy, Leave while you are still alive...or you will suffer GREAT humiliation." Vegeta just smirked his trademark smirk and shoved the man away.
"Whatever. I am sure I can take anyone on anytime, any place." Vegeta began to go into the shop when Goku stopped him.
"What is it NOW?" snapped Vegeta.
"Vegeta, those people are moving towards the car..." Goku warned. Vegeta grabbed Goku's ear and yanked it down towards him. "Kakarrot, this neighborhood is fine to me. It reminds me of Vegeta-sei. So shut up and go in the shop now!" ordered Vegeta as he pushed Goku in the store.
The store was filled with shirts. Lots of them. Some even looked like they were...worn a couple of times.
"Ok, Kakarrot, find a white blouse...." Began Vegeta when Goku showed up in front of him with a shirt. "Hey Vegeta, this is a good shirt huh?" asked Goku. Goku was holding up a 'Hard Rock Café' shirt with a dragon on it. "I thought the dragon would be a nice touch, eh?"
Vegeta grabbed the shirt, threw it down and yelled, "I SAID A BLOUSE, NOT A SHIRT."
The shop owner overheard Vegeta and called from over the counter; "You won't find a blouse in here sonny." Vegeta looked at the woman. "What do you mean?" questioned Vegeta. The owner rolled his eyes and said, "You won't find any blouses here. If you wanna find that stuff, you should go over to Satan City, its really nice over there. Low crime rate, clean streets, friendly people. I am thinking about moving there myself."
"This.... isn't Satan City?" asked a confused Vegeta.
"No" said the owner.
"Then where are we?"
"The Home For Infinite Losers?" Goku randomly threw in.
"No, you can get there by going through out sewer system though." The clerk said.
"Shut-up Kakarrot. I demand to know where we are." Vegeta said.
"Hmm...Welcome to Heaven City! I hope you enjoy your stay!" said the owner.
"Ah ha! I knew we went the wrong way!" yelled Goku as he started dancing.
Vegeta stared at the owner for a couple more minutes and then turned to Goku.
"Kakarrot"
"Yeah, Vegeta."
".... I' am confused..."
"Ha, Ha...GOOD!" said Goku as he began chanting 'good, good, good', over and over again.
Vegeta growled, grabbed Goku's arm and walked out of the shop.
"Ok, let's get out of here and get to...WHERE'S MY CAR???" screamed Vegeta.
Goku crossed his arms and sighed."I told you not to leave it running. Now we're going to have to fly."
Vegeta fell on the ground crying. "AHHH, why me. Why did I let you do my laundry? Why didn't I kill you when I first met you? AHHHHH!! That was Bulma's favorite car. NOOOO!!!"
Goku just looked on while Vegeta threw a tantrum.
"Ha, Ha...you lost your car to the 'Red Street Gang'." Said a voice. Vegeta looked up and saw it belonged to that old women he saw before.
"Why...why did they take my car?" Vegeta said angrily.
The old women looked at Vegeta and laughed. "Why? Because you are so small and stupid looking, and especially with that 'Sonic the Hedgehog' look, it was easy.
Vegeta was not a happy trooper and he was about to tear the woman apart when Goku stepped in. "Lady, who is this 'Red Street Gang'?" asked Goku.
The women stopped laughing and her voice turned dead serous. "The 'Red Street Gang', is the most vicious gang to occupy Heaven City since...a time long ago."
Vegeta just rolled his eyes " Enough with the 'suspense'. Where do I find them to get my car back from those punks?" The woman glanced at Vegeta and said, "You will not find them, Red Guy Man will find you."
"Red Guy Man'? Must be the leader. I can take him on." Said Vegeta.
"Hmmmm.... perhaps.... until next time." Said the women as she vanished into thin air.
"HACK, HACK...grrrr...that lady smells like Bulma's father's cigarettes!" Vegeta coughed.
"You know Vegeta, perhaps, she was Bulma's father's cigarettes." said a mystified Goku.
"Shut-up Kakarrot."
Suddenly a man appeared across the street from Vegeta. He was dressed in a black cloak, and his face was hidden beneath the shadows. "You are the one my master took the car from.... If you want it back, you must have a fight to the death." He said in a dark voice.
"Plus you have to play a game of Poker with our boss. It will be fun! We will have free popcorn, Coca-Cola, Pizza, plus we will watch a movie. Like I said, it will be fun!" The man said as his voice perked up to a cheerful level.
"Oh wow, Vegeta! Free food and drink...and a movie! This is so cool!" Goku was very happy. So happy that he actually ran across the street and grabbed the man in a death grip hug. "Oh wow! You guys are so nice. But I prefer Pepsi to Coke. Is it possible to change it?" asked a hopeful Goku.
"Uh, sure...will...you...LET GO?." Sgasped the dark clad man.
"Oops...sorry about that, sir." Goku let go and ran back across the street.
"Vegeta, we get Pepsi instead of Coke. Is that ok with you?"
Vegeta just turned and rubbed his head. "Fine, let's go, have 'fun'." Vegeta said sarcastically.
" Until the fight to the death." added the black-cloaked man.
"Ok, this is just getting a tad annoying. All I needed to do is get a blouse for Bulma, and now I have to engage in a fight to the death?" said Vegeta.
"Yes," said the dark figure.
"Fine." Said Vegeta.
"Oh wow Vegeta this is going to be SOOO much fun, huh? Food and a fight all in one.
What can get better than this?" said a very excited Goku.
"Don't make me kill you." Warned Vegeta.
"Heh, like you could." Goku shot back as he took off running for the man.
MEANWHILE.........
"Odd. Gohan, I thought you said your Father was in Satan City." said Piccolo as he and Gohan were flying over the mountains.
"Well, yeah he was supposed to be, according to mom." Gohan remarked. "Well, then how come I sense his Ki coming from Heaven City?"
Gohan stopped dead in his tracks. He had heard terrible, terrible stories about that place. He remembered a girl's family went to the city, and never returned. Now his father could be in danger...even if he was a Saiyan.
"Oh no, Mister Piccolo, my Father is in danger. We have got to help him, if he is really in Heaven City!" cried Gohan.
Piccolo scowled. "Gohan, stop begging. It's really annoying. Fine. If we go to Heaven City, we are going to have to keep our guard up. That city is dangerous. I used to go there and train. We must be on our guard, unless you want to get mugged."
Gohan nodded his head in determination and took off flying for Heaven City.
When they arrived Gohan was amazed. "Wow, this place is so run down. It reminds me of that time Dad took us to New York." Said Gohan.
"Gohan, New York is a nice city. It is just the people are in a hurry all the time and taxi just like to run over you, even if you do have the right away. It is wrong to compare NY to Heaven City." Explained Piccolo.
"Ok, then it looks more like L.A."
"Better. I don't like that city. Though their ice water is pretty darn good."
The two began walking down the dark alley streets of Heaven City.
"Mister Piccolo, how come we are walking down a dark alley?"
"It gives suspense."
"No it doesn't. It just shows how dumb we are to walk down a dark alley without and flash lights. Plus, why are we walking? We CAN fly." Gohan whispered.
"Gohan, stop questioning me. I know what to do."
"Ok."
They began to walk again, when something landed in front of them. It was ticking.
"Gohan, a bomb. RUN...FLY...WHATEVER!" yelled Piccolo.
"Um, it's just a clock someone threw out of the window." Gohan said as he bent down to inspect the item.
"Oh. Heh heh. I just wanted to see if you're on your toes."
"Right, Mister Piccolo."
"Hey you twerps, how dare you make noise on my side of town?" yelled a man from an upstairs window. "I own this city. And I want peace and quiet."
The man jumped out of the window, grabbed two Bo's, began flipping them and aimed them at Gohan and Piccolo.
"You're going to pay...kid and mister 'Green Man'."
OHHHH.... WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?
PREVIEW:
WILL GOKU GET HIS PEPSI
WILL VEGETA GET BULMA'S CAR BACK?
WILL PICCOLO AND GOHAN FALL TO THE 'MAN WITH BO'S?
WILL BULMA EVER GET HER BLOUSE?
WILL MIRAI TRUNKS COME TO THE RESCUE?
