The Wind Beneath His Cape pt 2.
Disclaimer: **Piccolo walks out grumbling** That baka onna you all know as Nik Nak doesn't own DBZ. Which I'm thankful for or else I would have been doing this every week.
A/N: I didn't think you guys would
like this idea. THANKS!!! Now on with the story!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trunks…I…I can't believe it!"
Goten said as he looked around Trunks' room. His walls that had previously been
covered with posters of WWF stars and Sarah Michelle Gellar were now covered
with…pink wallpaper. Dozens of Powerpuff Girls Dolls were all over his room. Or
should I say her room.
"Can't believe what Goten?" Trunks
asked.
"Ohmigosh!! YOU'RE A GIRL??!" Goten
yelled.
"Well yah! Like I've been for the
last ten years!!" Trunks said as Goten pinched himself.
"Nope, this isn't a nightmare.
Although I don't think my fragile mind could concoct such a thing like this
anyway." Goten said as Trunks laughed.
"Aw Goten, you're so cute!" Trunks
said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Goten yelled as he ran downstairs.
"Hmph. Boys." Trunks said. "Oh
cool! Sailor Moon is on!! Fighting evil by moonlight!"
Goten whizzed down the stairs and
into the dinning room. He couldn't believe his eyes. Vegeta was smiling and
actually eating Bulma's cooking. Piccolo was there too but he was eating food.
"NO!!! NOT YOU TOO!! I THOUGHT
NAMEKS ONLY DRANK WATER!!" Goten cried as he ran out of the building leaving
Bulma and Vegeta confused.
**Hmm, the boy knows something.
I'll have to catch up with him later.** Piccolo thought to
himself.
Goten flew around
trying to think of whom to go and see. Who could help him but if his theory was
correct (the world is broken) then no one could help him.
"I
know!! I'll go see Krillin! Maybe he can help." He went to Krillin's house and
knocked on the door. A tall man opened it.
"Hi
Goten!" Krillin said.
"Krillin?!"
Goten said amazed.
"Yeah?
What can I do ya for?" Krillin asked.
"But…you
have a nose!!"
"Yeah…so
do you." Krillin replied.
"And
you're tall."
"Yeah…"
Krillin said slowly. Goten grabbed his head in confusion and started to cry.
"How
am I supposed to figure this out if I inherited my father's genes?!!!
WAAAAAAH!" Goten cried and flew off.
"Strange
little munchkin." Krillin said shaking his head and walked back inside. Goten
flew back home and went straight to his bedroom. From downstairs he could hear
Gohan yelling at the TV "you gotta pass that you priss!"
"I
need to figure this out! **Stomach rumbles** But first things first!" Goten
said running downstairs and wolfing down his dinner, then running back
upstairs.
"I
don't know where that boy gets his eating habits." Chi-Chi said shaking her
head.
"He
didn't get it from me. Speaking of which, I've put on a few pounds so I'm
thinking of taking a diet." Goku said taking a swig of beer. (A/N: **faints at
the thought of the words Goku and taking a diet in the same sentence**)
"Good
for you dear." Chi-Chi replied.
"Right!
Now I can think properly!!" Goten said as he sat down to think. A games console
caught his eye. "I never had this before…a few games won't distract me!" Goten
said as he switched the PS2 on.
Meanwhile,
Piccolo had long left Vegeta's house and went on his way to Kami's lookout. He
went in to find Dende on the edge of the lookout holding a penny. Piccolo
walked over to him.
"I
know I'm gonna regret asking this but…what the hell are you doing?" Piccolo
asked.
"You
know how if you drop a penny from a really tall building it can make someone
unconscious or brain damaged?" Dende said somewhat childishly.
"Yeah…"
Piccolo said, unsure of what the young Namekian would say next.
"Well
imagine what would happen if I dropped on from here."
"I'm
not following you."
"If
I drop this on someone they could be killed. Isn't that funny?"
"Huh?"
Piccolo exclaimed, surprised that Dende could think of such a thing.
"Me.
Taking penny. Dropping penny. Impact of height make penny lethal. Penny kills
some lucky bastard who happens to be in way of penny. Haha. Many laughs by me.
Where exactly did I lose you on this?!" Dende exclaimed. Piccolo just stood
there with his mouth open. "Shut your mouth! You could catch a killer bee in
there!"
"Killer
bee?! Don't you mean fly?!"
"No
because the fly would kill you. You may be an idiot but that doesn't mean I
want you dead." Dende said throwing the penny off of the ledge. "I'd like to
see the poor bastards face who gets hit by that."
Goten
had decided to ask Dende what was going on, since he was the kami after all. He
started his way up when something hit him on the head. Of course it only fazed
him a bit. He was after all Goku's son.
"This
is just great. First the world gets broked and I'm the only one who realises
it, then people start acting all weird and have appearance changes but now the
freakin sky had to be falling?! This just isn't my day." Goten sighed as he
flew up and saw Piccolo looking worriedly at the hysterical Dende who was
rolling on the floor laughing his ass off. Goten tilted his head and looked at
the situation. Then he saw it. He saw what he thought he would never see. The
non-existent wind was…non-existent.
"Goten,
look I've been meaning to talk to you." Piccolo said but Goten was having none
of it.
"STAY
BACK YOU PICCOLO IMPERSONATOR!!" Goten yelled.
"Oh
for cryin' out…it is me Goten. Something has been screwed up and I can't
make any sense of it."
"You
too?! Phew, I thought I was the only one!!" Goten said as he breathed a sigh of
relief.
"Do
you have any idea what could have caused it?" Piccolo asked.
"It
could be that your cape's non-existent wind has disappeared." Goten said.
"Don't
remind me!! I've lost countless days of sleep."
"How
come? It was there this morning." Goten said but Piccolo chose to ignore him.
"I
feel as if a part of me has been stolen. Lost forever."
"Well
it kinda was, don'tcha think?"
"I
am half the man I used to be."
"Well
technically you are half a man. Hehe."
"THIS
IS SERIOUS!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE BEING SUCH A KID!!"
"Mr
Piccolo, I am a kid!"
"…That's
beside the point!! Listen, I know our world was screwed and this one
seems…seemingly better but I don't like it like this!! I'M A GEEK!! EVEN
COMPARED TO KRILLIN!!" Piccolo yelled.
"You
think I like this world?! My parents are all freaky, my brother is all macho
nacho man and my best friend is a GIRL!! Sure in a few years that might be an
asset BUT I'M NINE!! I DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!" Goten yelled.
"When
did you get to be so sarcastic?" Piccolo asked. "And so smart."
"Well,
I think we're effected by this too but we know what's going on. Besides I am
not dumb, I am just nine. How smart am I supposed to be?!" Goten replied.
"Smart
enough to figure this out." Piccolo muttered. Just as Goten was about to reply
a large dark misty thing appeared behind Piccolo.
"P…Piccolo…t-t-t-there's
a thing b-b-b-behind y-y-y-y-y-you…" Goten stammered.
"What the hell
are you babbling about boy?" Piccolo asked furiously. Goten just kept pointing
and shaking his head. Piccolo finally turned around and saw the thing behind
him.
"………Well
gosh." Piccolo stated as he got into a fighting stance but stepped on the back
of his cape and fell over. Goten smacked his head in frustration.
"Should
I be impressed or amused?" The thing asked.
"Very
funny. I suppose you had something to do with this." Piccolo said getting up
and dusting himself off.
"Why
would you say that?" The thing smirked.
"Oh
because we've never seen you before and you're all dark and stuff." Goten said.
"I
suppose that's an answer. Well in any case you're right in a way. I did have
something to do with this but…indirectly." The thing said.
"What
do you mean?" Piccolo said.
"Well
maybe if you let my dramatic pause have some tension instead of interrupting it
you might have found out!! Ahem, this little boy has tampered with forces of
magic that shouldn't even have been touched let alone tampered." The thing
said. There was a long silence. "You can talk now, I was finished."
"You
mean when I cast that spell I somehow put the whole universe out of whack?"
Goten asked.
"The
short answer being yes." The thing replied.
"But
why were you brought here?! We could have easily fixed this ourselves
eventually!" Piccolo yelled. The thing laughed.
"You
couldn't have!! You need me cape boy!"
"What
did you say about my cape?!"
"Piccolo
calm down!! Well I'll just do a reversal spell. Aw man, I sound like one of the
Charmed ones!! This is so not cool." Goten said pouting.
"Well
I'm going now. I was only here because the author of this story didn't want to
make another self-insertion. She's still trying to figure out how the Gohan
& Piccolo fan population trebled overnight and how the Vegeta & Trunks
fan population seems to have died down." The thing said and disappeared. (A/N:
Hehehe, anyone else noticed that?)
"We're
in a STORY?!" Goten shrieked.
"No, of course
not! He's just trying to spook you! Now let's go." Piccolo said and he and
Goten flew away. Dende, however, was turning blue from laughter.
"I've got another
theory Pic." Goten said tilting his head.
"What's that? And
for the love of Dende, please don't call me Pic." Piccolo responded.
"Well, have you
noticed that as the day goes on things just weirder? I mean, first it was just
little things but now it's on a whole different scale."
"How do you
mean?"
"Well, you've
become more and more clumsy. I've stopped pronouncing words like a kid. Do you
see the pattern Pic?"
"Hmm. I'm
beginning to see you're point. After all you are taking this very calmly now
whereas before you were balling like a tap. Oh and Goten?"
"Yes Pic?"
"Call me Pic one
more time and they'll be something else that will be very different. Goku will
only have one son. Capiche?"
"Capiche Piccy." Goten
smirked.
"Oy vey…"
To Be Continued…
What will become
of Piccolo and Goten? Will Goku actually go on that diet??! Will I get
bombarded with death threats by many fans of the above-mentioned characters?! All
this and more, next time!! Review!!
