Elements in a Saiyan's Eyes




Chapter 7: Maniki


The attack from the water boy left me with a billion questions for that girl. Ubuu said her name was Noctoru and that she was pretty nice. 'I think those two have something for each other.' I thought to myself. I flew across the land as fast as I could go, trying to find Ubuu's ki signature. Wherever he was, she was there with him.

His ki came into focus. He was off to the west somewhere. There was another signature, a strange one. It had to be that girl, Noctoru. I took off in that direction, ready to pin her to the ground and make her answer my questions. Chances were that she wasn't going to talk to me, but I had brought my sword just incase she needed a little push. Ubuu's ki was clear now. He wasn't far away.

"Hey Gian!"

I turned my head and looked at the ground. Ubuu was sitting next to a lake, talking with...her. I shot down and pulled out my sword. Ubuu flinched.

"Gian, you could kill someone with that."

I did my 'Vegeta' smirk.

"I have a couple of questions to ask your girlfriend there."

Ubuu frowned.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"I bet."

Noctoru jumped into the lake. I dove in after her. She was not getting away from this. I saw her ahead of me. I grabbed her foot and swam to the surface. She was kicking and squirming around.

"If you don't want me to really shock you, you had better let me go!"

"You've shocked me so much that I'm immune to it."

"Water conducts electricity," Ubuu said.

"Exactly," Noctoru smiled.

I rolled my eyes and dropped her. She tried to get back into the water, but she was a blade short.

"I am not telling you anything!" she screamed, sitting on the ground and crossing her arms.

"Who was that thing that was near my house last night?"

She shook her head and didn't answer. I repeated my question.

"Look, I don't know who that person was!! How can you relate me to that thing!!! I don't even have a mental image of this dude."

I had not listened to her last few comments. The boy that had attacked me crawled out of the water and sat down behind Noctoru. I pointed to him. She turned around and fell over. She was on her feet in seconds and hugged him. He fell back in the water.

"Maniki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're alive!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! You're here!!!!!!!!!!! You're right here!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He sat up and hugged her back.

"I missed you too, Noctoru. I came here to warn you. Lotus is in the orbit of this planet. You need to hide. If he finds you, you're fish food."

Noctoru stood up an turned to Ubuu.

"This is Maniki. He's the guy that helped me escape from my home planet. This is Ubuu."

She left me out of the situation completely. Maniki smirked at me again. I drew my sword, and he twitched his big, fan-like ears.

"Hello. Ubuu. Nice to meet you. Thanks for taking care of her. I am forever in your dept."

"Are you her boyfriend?" he asked.

"Me??! No... I'm more of a big brother to her. Lotus isn't suited for this job."

"Who's Lotus?" Ubuu asked again.

"Her no good brother. The king of the Elementals. She's supposed to be the ruler, but he ran her off."

Noctoru sunk into the ground.

"If he comes down here, the world's gonna explode. He's going to kill me."

Maniki shook his head.

"He's not going to kill you."

"Yes, he is. Why do you think he came all the way over here?! It sure as heck wasn't to give me a fruit basket!!! Banishing me from the planet wasn't enough! He's going to send me to the next dimention!!!!!"

The fish man sighed.

"Ubuu? A little help here? She seems to trust you a lot."

He shrugged.

"Maniki, I know I can beat him. If I do, I won't have a family. If I don't, he won't have a family if you know where this is headed!!!"

He picked her up and shook her.

"Calm down!!!!!!!!!! I'm here now!!!!! He is not going to hurt you!!!"

Ubuu stepped in front of Noctoru.

"And I'm here! I can get Goku and Goten to fight. Maybe I can con Trunks into this too. Gian can get Vegeta in."

I sighed.

"I refuse to help. She has been treating me like sludge ever since..."

Noctoru wriggled away from Maniki.

"Ever since the Thunder Watch flashed across the television screen."

I glared at her with my death look. She held her hand out and pushed her energy into it. I drew my sword and held it in front of me. Electricity came out of her hand and grabbed my sword. I held onto it, but I was zapped by her energy. The electricity carried my sword over to...her. She held onto it and extended a palm in front of my sword. A fire ball flickered to life. I could feel it burning my face from two yards away.

"Think about it. What happens when metal meets a fire a couple million degrees hot???"

"Okay, I'll fight!!!!! Give me my sword!!!!!!"

She threw my sword to me. The fireball disappeared from her hand, and she turned towards the boys.

"But what makes you think I'll get Vegeta to help? He as well as Trunks hates your guts."

"Why does Vegeta hate my guts? I've never even met him!!!!"

"Does the word 'Godfather' ring a bell?"

"Oh, he's your godfather, is he? I thought Vegeta hated everyone!"

"Wrong again." I said smirking. I put my sword back in its holder and crossed my arms, still smirking.

"You even look like Vegeta." I kept me smirk but uncrossed my arms.

"What, are you jealous?"

"Jealous of what?" Noctoru yelled.

"That I'm a better fighter than you!!!" I screamed back.

"Yeah, right!! I could kick your butt ten times over!!!"

"In your dreams!!!!!"

"Girls, girls!!! Stop fighting! Save it for the battle!!!" yelled Maniki, stepping in between us. I glared at Noctoru and stepped back.

"Ubuu, your little girlfriend needs to learn to keep her mouth shut when battling with a Super Saiyan." I said.

"And your friend here needs to keep HER mouth shut while battling with lightning or she will find shocking loss for words." I tried to ignore her but it didn't work. My hair piled atop my head and two long blonde strips fell to my face. My eyes went green. I expected it to end there, but it didn't. My musceles kept growing, my hair getting longer. I screamed.

"Gian! You-you-you..." Ubuu trailed off. I pulled out my sword and charged at Noctoru, making a deep gash on her shoulder.

"You went to Asscended Super Saiyan!" Ubuu finished out. I smiled and put up my sword. Maniki was trying to clean Noctoru's wound. He looked up long enough to give me death glances.

"Okay. That's enough! Noctoru, apoligize to Gain, Gian, apoligize to Noctoru. We are on the same team here!!!!!" yelled Ubuu.

"Why?" I asked smartly.

"Gian, I've known you practially forever. You have a bad attitude, just like Vegeta. Get over it. Noctoru is a nice person too. I know you can be nice, but you were brought up to battle, and you battle every chance you get. You're always training now. Chi-Chi always goes into a mad frenzy every time you battle. So lets save the battling for the Elements." said Ubuu.

"Don't think I'll start being nice to her just because I'm helping her fight."

"And don't expect me not to give her a shocking notice every once in a while."

"I'll get Vegeta and Trunks to help. I'll be back afterwhile." I said as I took to the sky.

***

"Vegeta!" I yelled as I saw him outside training.

"Yes, brat?"

"I DO have a name, ya know."

"Okay, okay. Gian, what do you need?"

"For you to fight in the Element war."

"With that girl who shocked you?"

"Yes. Please Vegeta, do it for me?" I said, putting on a puppy face.

"Oh, all right."

"I know you couldn't refuse me! I AM your Goddaughter, you know."

"Yes, I know." he said smiling. I gave him a quick hug and left to find Trunks.

***

"Trunks? Where are you?" I said. I was flying over the woods. I stopped and talked to Krillin on the way and asked him if he knew where Trunks was. He said he was somewhere throughout this area. Suddenly, I was picking up a strong ki. Then I was picking up another strong ki.'Trunks is probably sparring with Piccolo.' I said to myself. I saw Trunks a few minutes later, but he wasn't sparring with Piccolo. He was battling with a tall man. He had orange hair and reddish skin. He was one of the Elements.
