Thoughts of Pain-Hatchyack

I knew there was going to be trouble when I heard about the Destron Gas. My otousan, Piccolo, Trunks, Vegeta, and I later discovered it was the doing of Dr. Raichi, a mad Tsufuru-jin. He unleashed the Destron Gas because he knew the last of his mortal enemies, the Saiya-jin, lived on Earth. The gas was supposed to eventually kill us, demo, we managed to destroy him and his gas after a long, tiring fight. We even had to go to a planet called the Dark planet just to fight him. Demo, even after destroying him, our troubles were far from over...


When Vegeta destroyed the last of Dr. Raichi, instead of our fight being finally over, it had just begun. A strange glowing occurred accompanied by claps of thunder. Not sure of what we were dealing with, Otousan asked advice of Kaiou-sama. Kaiou-sama explained the situation and we knew we were in big trouble. Then from an odd circle of light, Hatchyack appeared...


The first thing Hatchyack did was attack Vegeta. With a mighty punch, the Saiya-jin no Oji was sent skidding across the floor where he stopped near us. Otousan cried out his name with concern, and then we proceeded to attack. All of us were easily knocked away after getting hurt. I was kicked in the small of my back, and then I fell to the ground a few feet away. Then Vegeta got up and attacked again. Demo, after the next attack, he wouldn't be getting up. Hatchyack counterattacked with a very powerful blast when Vegeta attacked. There was a flash of light and Vegeta was next seen unconscious quite a few feet from where he last stood. Trunks went over to help his downed tousan, demo, discovered it was useless and became angry. Otousan was next to attack, demo, when he was knocked to the side, I tried to join in. Before I could do anything, though, an elbow crashed into my neck and I got kicked in the back again. Then Hatchyack grabbed me and threw me through the floor. I screamed as I fell, only stopping when I hit my head against a pillar on the way down. I landed on another pillar, and slowly opened my eyes. I closed them again and passed out as a blast neared me...


Before I passed out, I thought of the pain that my body was being forced to endure:
How many times does he have to ram his fist into the small of my back?
That hurts so much!
Each time he does that, I almost faint!
I almost lost consciousness when he elbowed my neck!
I thought that he would break it!
I could have died!
Ohhh, my head really hurts!
I can't seem to stop this darkness from clouding my vision...
Somebody, help me...
I can't stay conscious...
I can't protect myself from the blast heading towards me...


When I awoke, I noticed that I was unhurt, demo, when I heard a cry from Piccolo, I realized why. Piccolo must have protected me again, getting hurt in the process. I watched in horror as my dear mentor fell, severely hurt. I screamed as I attacked Hatchyack for Piccolo. I was soon joined by Trunks and my otousan. Suddenly, Hatchyack stopped and powered up. We continued our assault anyway. Then he charged up again. Otousan sensed something bad, and tried to warn Trunks and me. It was too late. Hatchyack sent a barrage of furious punches at Trunks and me. Then we crashed into some pillars and once again landed on another pillar, demo, this time, we were completely unconscious...


Before I lost consciousness again, more thoughts ran through my head:
Something bad is going to happen.
What's Hatchyack doing?
How come he's getting stronger?
Oh no!
He just powered up and is going to attack Trunks and me!
Oh Kami!
These punches are really painful!
Now I feel my body crashing into a pillar again.
Otousan!
Help me!
Onegai...


The next time I woke up, Piccolo had given me a Senzu. I slowly opened my eyes, and then happily cried out my mentor's name. Demo, to my surprise, he fell again. He weakly told me to give the last three Senzu beans to the others. I wanted him to have one, demo, he sternly refused the offer. He then proceeded to pass out. Realizing that he knew what he was doing, I complied and thanked him. I now had to get the Senzu to the others...


To my surprise, it was a fairly easy task. Vegeta distracted Hatchyack by attacking him again, giving me time to give a Senzu to Otousan and Trunks. When I gave one to Otousan, he apologized to me, for what, I was unsure. Then I told him the Senzu was from Piccolo and he felt bad about it. Then he went to fight...


When I gave a Senzu to Trunks, he woke up and became angry. As I was giving out the Senzu, Otousan fought Hatchyack. I gave the last Senzu to Trunks to give to his tousan. He fed it to Vegeta, who also woke up angry...


Suddenly, Otousan cried out, "We must save the Earth!" Then he charged up a Chou KameHameHa. Hatchyack also charged an attack. Otousan told us to charge our own attacks, too. Vegeta agreed to this and began to concentrate his chi for a Final Flash. Trunks and I landed on pillars next to Otousan. Trunks went through the motions for a Burning Attack. I raised my hands above my head and concentrated my chi for a Masenko. From a distance, I heard the soft cheering of Piccolo, rooting for us to win. 'We won't fail you, Piccolo,' I quietly told him. I turned back and focused on the task that we had to complete...


Otousan started to count down Hatchyack's attack, apparently knowing more about it than we did. Suddenly, he shot his Chou KameHameHa at Hatchyack, just as Hatchyack released his. As if on cue, we also released our attacks. It was only a short time before our attacks overtook Hatchyack's. It overpowered the monster's and destroyed him. Seeing that it was a danger to stay there, Otousan teleported us to Earth. We landed in a heap and sighed, relieved. The Earth was safe once again...




Well after a very long time, I have completed another 'Thoughts of Pain.' How did I do? Was it up to the standards set before my slump? Well, review! Ja! I have to go work on the other updates now!
