Krillin and Juuhachigou
Chapter Eight
Banished
A mob of people swarmed Capsule Corporation, yelling angrily. The group of Gero's androids who had witnessed the fight, along with Gero himself who had been told what happened, were carrying Juunanagou's body on their shoulders. Piccolo, Gohan, and Tien came in the opposite direction, carrying Yamcha. Bystanders filed around the angry fighters, curious to see what had happened. The door to Capsule Corp opened, and Vegeta came out, drawn by the commotion.
"What is going on out here? What is this?!" Vegeta yelled over the crowd's roar. Everyone spoke at once, but Gero's voice rose above the rest.
"One of your fighters killed by best creation!! I demand to know where he is at once, or else we'll fight this out right now!!!!" The androids spoke in agreement while the Z-fighters argued against it. Then Bulma, who had joined Vegeta at the door, gasped.
"Yamcha!" Vegeta's attention turned to the fallen Z-warrior. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the gaping hole in his ally's stomach. He gritted his teeth. He was angry...no he was furious, but he still didn't know the whole story. He couldn't trust the android, so he asked Gohan.
"Hey Gohan!! Tell me what happened here, and don't lie to me or you'll be sorry!"
"Vegeta, Juunanagou started it!" The androids started yelling loudly. Gohan ignored them and continued.
" All of us were sitting down near the fountain in the middle of the city. Juunanagou and the other android came up to us and started saying stuff. Krillin came and tried to get us to leave, but Yamcha got mad and attacked him....Juunanagou that is. The fight went on and Krillin tried to stop them but when he held Yamcha back, Juunanagou injured Yamcha. It was only because Juunanagou killed Yamcha that Krillin killed him. It was an accident, too!!"
"Liar! You wouldn't turn in an ally! Juunanagou isn't programmed to attack until he's told!!" Gero yelled. Again, everyone started talking at once.
"Shut up!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. Everyone fell quiet. "Why did you come here? To complain to me? I should destroy you all right now for just bothering me! Didn't I say that if anyone started a fight besides me they would be killed?!! Well since the android is already dead, that leaves the one who killed him!"
"You can't mean that....!" Gohan yelled. His shout was drowned out by the mob. The androids cheered and Piccolo yelled.
"Vegeta! You mean to tell me you would kill your own ally! You coward!" Piccolo cried. Bulma tugged on Vegeta's sleeve. Vegeta looked at her. There were tears in her eyes.
"Vegeta.....you can't." Deep inside his hardened heart, Vegeta knew she was right. But he couldn't just back down on his threat; it would make him seem weak.
"Quiet!" The Saiyan prince yelled once again. He glared at Gohan and the other z-fighters. "If I ever see that human again it'll be his last hour! Tell him to get out of this city and go as far away as possible!" With that he turned and stomped back into the house. Bulma followed him. Gero let out an enraged cry. Gohan looked at Piccolo. The namek's face was serious and hard. Gohan suddenly had the urge to power up to Super Saiyan and tear those androids apart.....but he knew that it would only result in more death. Far away...Ju cried out for Krillin.
