Yamcha smiled as he walked away from the Gravity Chamber. He felt just a slight bit superior to Vegeta in those few seconds. I made him blush. He sang to himself.
He sat down and leaned against a tree. Yamcha sighed and looked at the time. Still more trainin'-holy shit! Yamcha bolted up when he saw Laokau land gracefully in front of him.
"What do you want?" Yamcha snarled.
"Well. Since we're the only Maxians on this planet and it's March 1st, maybe........" Laokau smirked.
"Never. In my life." Yamcha glared.
"Have it your way, weakling." Laokau said and grabbed Yamcha by the throat. Yamcha wrapped his hands around Laokau's wrist, trying to wrench free of the agonizing hold.
How'd he get so powerful? Again?! Yamcha tightened his grip, but found himself slacking. "Let go." His voice strained. He kicked the other alien's stomach, but it was like kicking a wall. A really, really, really strong wall. Laokau didn't flinch but tightened his grip. If Yamcha wasn't choking, he probably would have more effect, but muscles need oxygen.
"You refused to be my mate and now you shall die." Laokau hissed.
Vegeta strolled out the Gravity Chamber. That insolent little worm! I'll show him! He stopped when he saw Yamcha being assaulted by Laokau.
"Oh shit. Now i'm probably going to have to save him." Vegeta faced a palm out and let a blast fly into the center of the Laokau's back.
Laokau dropped Yamcha and whipped around to glare at Vegeta. "Now why'd you go and do that?" He smirked. He turned around and kicked Yamcha in the stomach sending the other Maxian through the tree. Splintering it in half.
Vegeta shrugged.
Yamcha tackled Laokau from behind. They rolled and shot up.
"Eager, are we, Yamcha?" Laokau smirked and got punched in the face.
"Shut the hell up!" Yamcha yelled, only to get kicked in the jaw. He stumbled and wiped the blood streaming from his mouth.
"Make me." Laokau grinned devilishly.
In the end...Yamcha found himself outmatched. He was lying in a crater while Vegeta was looking on.
This is how Maxian's fight? No wonder they were our greatest rivals. There fighting skills are based more on speed and agility than brute strength.
"Now. You have lost and must become my mate." Laokau landed on the lip of the crater.
Vegeta was snapped out of his thoughts by this.
"Never." Yamcha spit to the side blood. "Kill me first."
"Must I? We could've ruled the world!" Laokau grinned and locked two hands together. "ka...me......ha.....me....oof!" Laokau was kicked from behind.
Yamcha closed his eyes preparing for the worse, but it never came. He peeked one eye open.
Vegeta had kicked Laokau in the lower back. What the hell is he doing now?
Yamcha was fading in and out of consciousness and then finally. Just blacked out completely.
"Oow.." Yamcha groaned in pain. I'm in so much pain.
A wet cloth felt at his forehead. "Wake up, Yamcha." A gentle voice said.
He opened his orange eyes to see Mrs. Briefs. "Hey. How long was I-?" He cut himself short when he saw Vegeta in the doorway.
His gaze shifted up and down Vegeta, then back up to the ceiling. Did I just check out Vegeta? Yes, I did. Yamcha chuckled.
"Are you ok? Maybe he hit you on the head a little too hard." Bulma's mother said.
"I'm fine." Yamcha smiled as the older woman walked out of the room. He took a deep breath and was about to talk.
Vegeta's eyebrows shot up.
"I'm-I am. I-" Yamcha stuttered, moronically. There is no way, I'm saying thank you to Vegeta
Vegeta smirked. "What? No thanks?"
"Don't push your luck." Yamcha said and stared at the ceiling.
In a blur, Vegeta was by his side, sitting on the chair. He tossed him a senzu bean.
"Thanks" Yamcha blurted as he felt healed. Uh-oh.....
Vegeta smirked.
Yamcha....Yamcha... a voice sang tauntily in Yamcha's head.
"Who's there?" Yamcha unknowingly said aloud, recieving an odd look from the Saiyan prince.
It's me.....your mate..... The voice sounded awful familiar.
Yamcha closed his eyes. "You're not my mate"
Vegeta felt a pang of...something. Then he replaced it with a scowl.
Yes...I am.....I am.....your mate...Laokau..
Yamcha's eyes shot open. "Laokau" He growled. His hands clenched into fists. That's when he felt the familiar KI outside the window. He ran to it and poked his head out to see Laokau waving childishly.
"I am very sorry. But since you're the only other Maxian on this planet..." Laokau said quietly.
"That's not gonna work. I don't care how sorry you are." Yamcha snirked and flew out.
Laokau grabbed him by the shoulders. "But I made you! You should be mine!" Laokau yelled in his face.
Ok...just a little too close for comfort. Vegeta snarled.
"C'mon, Yamcha" Laokau breathed heavily.
Well...he is kinda attractive. Scratch that. Freakin' hot. I bet he could be a model if he wanted to...wait. Stop. You do not like Laokau. STOOOOP!!!!!!!! Yamcha tried to rip himself from the grasp, but Laokau held on tighter.
Laokau smirked and crushed his lips against the former human's.
Vegeta's jaw dropped and he bolted out the window.
"HEY!"
Laokau pulled back only to get punched in the face. He grinned and blocked another punch from Vegeta while a bewildered and shocked Yamcha stood by.
After much fighting, Laokau slammed his fists into Vegeta's back. Vegeta fell into the earth, twiching. Laokau lowered to the ground and held the saiyan by the back of his head. He smirked and threw him into the ground.
"SOUKIDAN!!!!" Yamcha commanded. A ball of energy appeared in his palm. His hands moved quickly as he finally ordered the ball to crash.
It exploded on Laokau and he was forced back, slightly. He had an almost hurt look in his eyes.
Yamcha felt ki coming towards them and fast. Yes! Back-up! He smirked.
"Your friends are coming." Was all Laokau said and he took off.
"Erg!" Yamcha said and took off after him. Leaving behind Vegeta.
The other Z fighters took off after the two maxians as Piccolo slipped Vegeta a bean.
"Why are you here?!" Yamcha demanded as the two circled each other in the air above the desert.
"To destroy the last of the saiyans, of course. They killed our kind and now we must kill theirs!" Laokau snarled viciously.
Yamcha was speechless. The words that tumbled out of his mouth were utterly pointless. "Gosh, you're mean."
"I'm a bad guy. It's a requirement. Now you must die, my pet." Laokau smirked.
"Ew." Yamcha curled his lip in distaste. Then stopped. Laokau's ki was rocketing. "What the hell?"
"Ha ha. Saiyans are not the only ones to ascend into different levels. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Laokau powered up.
The Z fighters felt the ki sky rocket as well and sped up. They arrived at the desert to see Yamcha gaping at Laokau.
"I AM LAOKAU THE MEGA MAXIAN!" Laokau boomed. "Now to finish you off"
Laokau now had green hair and yellow eyes. Yellow eyes that flashed with hate as soon as he saw the saiyans.
Yamcha put up a good fight, but in the end found himself in a large crater. Again.
Goku blasted a ki blast at Laokau. Laokau caught it in his palms and threw it back.
"SCATTER!" Krillin yelled. The Z fighters moved out of the way as quickly to see the mountain blow up.
Laokau immediately charged for Goku.
"Ah!" Goku cried out in surprise/pain as Laokau kicked the side of his head. Goku flew into a mountain, causing it to crumble on him.
The rubble flew as Goku emerged as a super saiyan.
"Saiyans. You're so predictable." Laokau taunted. He ran a hand through his now-green locks. "I'm sure you'll remember this attack, Vegeta" He said and pointed a finger at Krillin.
A beam shot from it and through Krillin. Krillin fell back, pain etched on his features.
"No! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" Yamcha yelled. "I've had about enough of you! You hurt my friends, you freakin' hurt me!" Yamcha powered up and his muscles bulged more.
"Aah!" With a cry of anger, the two maxians charged at each other.
At the last possible moment, Yamcha dodged and Laokau flew straight into the mountains.
Yamcha chuckled slightly.
"That was not funny!" Laokau emerged, annoyed.
"Is Krillin okay?" Yamcha flew to the down short man.
"He's dead." Piccolo informed.
Goku and Gohan heard this.
The younger saiyan felt his anger boil over. He turned super saiyan, ready for battle.
Laokau felt jealousy overcome as he saw the concern etched in Yamcha' scarred features as Yamcha depserately tried to revive Krillin with a senzu bean.
Why can't he be that concerned over me? Damn humans! Damn saiyans!!! His anger boiled over as he powered up again. They killed my life, my everything! NOW they're taking away Yamcha!
Yamcha looked at Laokau and powered up again. "Goku." He looked to his Saiyan friend. "I need to handle this on my own." Yamcha said in a low voice.
Goku nodded in understanding.
"Weakling. You'll get yourself killed." Vegeta snarled.
"Don't worry." Yamcha said in a monotone voice.
"C'mon, my pet!" Laokau chuckled.
"OK! THAT IS JUST WAY TOO MUCH!!!!" Yamcha yelled. His hair quivered, flashing green, then back to blue. His eyes as well flashed, Orange to yellow.
The rubble around him were airborne.
"YOU KILLED KRILLIN! HE HAS A FAMILY! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Yamcha let his bottled emotions flow.
Finally, His hair turned green and his eye faded to yellow.
"Very good, Yamcha. But you still can't beat me. Especially when you don't know what you're up against." Laokau smirked. He grinned. The Maxian's ears grew larger and seem to move to the top of his head. A long bushy tail grew from his spine. His nose grew longer into a snout.
Laokau looked like he was half wolf and half man.
"What the-?" Piccolo's eyes widened.
"Ha ha! You can't defeat me now. For I am a Master Maxian." Laokau said and howled. He shot a blast at Yamcha. The former human was thrown to the ground.
Yamcha got back up, with a stagger. Obviously weakened.
Laokau went on a rampage. He blew up random mountains almost coming close to blowing up the other Z fighters.
Yamcha charged and found his fist in Laokau's jaw. Laokau staggered then regained his balance.
Sailva flew out of Yamcha's mouth as he got kneed in the stomach.
Yamcha kicked Laokau in the side and smiled when he heard a satisfying crunch. Then he remembered something he read in a book.
Master Maxian: Weaker bones than previous stages, but has more energy and firepower.. Can also regenerate at an amazing speed if head is not severely damaged. Like Nameks.
Oh shit. Yamcha felt his legs get caught and was thrown down into the ground.
He struggled to get up but fell back when Laokau's foot crushed into his sternum.
Yamcha's breathing became more quick and shallow.
He twisted Laokau's ankle deftly.
"Ew! Gross!" Trunks and Goten said as they heard a loud crack come from the two fighters.
"SHIT!" Laokau yelped when Yamcha threw him off.
Laokau landed in the dust, but quickly got back up.
Yamcha staggered up bleeding all over. His breathe was heavy as his aura surrounded him again.
Damn. He looks good. Vegeta smirked.
Laokau stood up.
"SOUKIDAN!" Yamcha yelled and once again went into his technique.
It flew off into the horizon.
"What was that?" Laokau chuckled. "I'm over here! You have bad aim."
Yamcha smirked.
Laokau's smirk diappeared when the ball of energy surprised him from behind now ten fold it's size.
"AAAAAAH!" Laokau screamed as the energy exploded.
All the Z fighters felt Yamcha's energy go down as it exploded.
Yamcha smirked as the dust cleared but gasped.
"Ha ha. Foolish boy. Using all your energy in one attack." Laokau said and powered up. "BIG BANG ATTACK!"
Yamcha's eyes widened as he braced himself for the deadly attack.
The explosion rocked the surrounding area.
The city rocked with it as well. calling it an earthquake.
The dust cleared to reveal Yamcha standing still. His hair reverted back to black and so did his eyes. He finally fell to the ground.
"YAMCHA!" Goku yelled. He charged at Laokau in anger with his fist.
Laokau smirked and caught it. He punched the side of Goku's head. Goku growled and kneed him in the stomach.
They both punched each other's cheek. Sending them both into mountains.
Goku charged again, but at the last moment he shot up into the clouds. Then came down and kicked Laokau's neck.
Laokau's neck snapped illicting more sounds of distaste from the other fighters.
"SOMEONE GET YAMCHA!" Goku yelled and pointed to the broken body of the warrior.
Vegeta nodded and flew down from the small hill. He slung the man over his shoulder and brought him back to the spot where they all were.
Laokau grinned and snapped his neck into place. Even Goku had a look of disgust on his face. How do I kill him?
Yamcha's right eye was swollen shut and he was bleeding a LOT. "Fuse" he crackled weakly. His left eye closed. "I'm coming, Yemma..Hi. Krillin" He started talking softly.
Gohan looked down worriedly.
"Give him a senzu bean, dammit." Vegeta ordered. Did I just say that?!
Piccolo felt Yamcha's pulse and shook his head sadly. "Too late. He's dead."
Vegeta's jaw dropped.
Trunks and Goten looked at each other than Yamcha and nodded. "FUSION.....HA!"
The others shielded their eyes as Trunks and Goten fused becoming Gotenks.
Goku and Laokau stopped in their battle. Goku looked at his opponents face to see a hint of worry.
He smirked. "That's my son up there!" Goku said with pride.
Gotenks immediately charged and Goku moved out of the way.
Laokau smirked and caught Gotenks' fist in his palm. "Foolish children. You get your moronic behavior from your fathers I see."
Gotenks took his other hand and blasted Laokau.
Laokau flew back and charged.
Don't die! Don't die dammit!!!!! Vegeta pounded on Yamcha's chest. "We can wish them back, right?" Why do I care?
Piccolo shook his head. "We already wished them back to life once. Remember? Yamcha was killed by the Saibamen...."
I was an ass back then! I didn't know what I was doing! Vegeta stopped his pounding.
"Well....what about the Namekian dragonballs?" Gohan asked.
"It's possible...." Piccolo thought.
"Gotenks! Can you handle him?!" Goku asked the young fighter.
"For awhile!" He answered back while dodging a punch.
Vegeta and Piccolo held Goku's shoulders as they were transported to Namek.
Goku came back as soon as he dropped them off.
Yamcha spotted Krillin on Snake Way. "Krillin!" He ran to catch up with his friend.
"Hey, Yamcha" The short man replied. "This is gonna be one loooooooooooooong walk."
They walked, then suddenly it felt as if the floor was pulled from beneath them.
"You mean you have them gathered up, just in case?" Piccolo asked Guru.
"Yep. Always be prepared." The man of Namek replied.
"Your wish" Porunga asked.
"I wish Krillin was alive!" Piccolo boomed.
"Your wish is granted" Porunga boomed back.
Dammit! I can't wish this. "I wish. I wish Yamcha was alive." Vegeta looked away.
"Your wish is granted. You have one more wish."
"What should we wish for?" Piccolo leaned over to Vegeta.
ULITMATE POWER! "I have no idea."
"We'll give it to Guru. We gotta hurry up and get back to Earth""
Goku instant transmission-ed back to Namek and brought Piccolo and Vegeta back.
Gohan was holding Laokau at bay. While Trunks and Goten chewed some beans.
"Vegeta, we have to fuse." Goku informed.
Vegeta was hesitant.
"FUSION......HA!"
The being that was Gogeta struck fear into the heart of Laokau. He backed ready to run, but too late.
Gogeta powered up. With a single Ki blast, he blew Laokau away.
"Aaaah! Others will avenge yoooouuuuu!!!!" Laokau yelled.
The fighters flew to Yamcha and Krillin's bodies. All had solemn faces.
"What the hell? How come they're not alive yet?!" Vegeta demanded. He took Yamcha by his gi and shook him. But he got no repsonse.
"Yamcha. Wake up. Damn you stupid, Maxian." Vegeta slapped his face. Only left a red mark, but that red mark faded.
All the while, the others were watching with great interest.
Krillin and Yamcha were freefalling towards Earth at amazing speeds.
"Hey. Yamcha, look!" Krillin pointed.
Yamcha squinted his eyes and saw Vegeta try to wake up his dead form. What the-?
"AaaAaaaAaahhh!" The two's scream fluctuated in pitch as they crashed into mountains.
"What was that?" Gohan asked as a mountain crumbled. He and Goku went to check it out.
"Whoa.....Dizzy..." Yamcha said and held his head. He staggered up.
Krillin bolted up, then regreted it. "ah. Head rush"
"It's Yamcha and Krillin. WIth Halos!" Goku grinned.
Oh thank, Kami! Vegeta sighed, then covered it with his usual smirk.
Yamcha and Krillin landed by their bodies.
"Wow. We look really bad." Yamcha spoke up after a silence.
"Yeah.. But uh, how do we become alive again?" The ex-monk asked.
"I think you're supposed to ly down in your bodies..That's what I did!" Goku grinned.
The two fell into their bodies. Krillin sat up with a wide smile, while Yamcha stood still. Unmoving.
"What's wrong with him? Isn't he supposed to be alive?" Gohan asked.
Yamcha's chest didn't move up and down, and he didn't move at all.
"I think he's still dead." Goten said quietly.
"Wake up." Vegeta said and nudged the body with his toe. He kneeled down and shook him. Still no repsonse.
"Wake up, dammit! Wake up!" Vegeta said quietly. "I want you. To wake up." He quickly finished before anybody noticed. Yamcha's face was emotionless and his eyes were still closed.
Then suddenly, the corners of Yamcha's mouth turned up into a joking grin.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Vegeta yelled and dropped the man. "You were alive all this time!"
"So?" Yamcha stood up wavery. Then fell back on his rear. He stood up again with support from Krillin. The two slung their arms around their shoulders and started singing a happy tune.
"Someone is all smiles." Piccolo quirked a slight smirk.
"Dude. We are alive!" Krillin and Yamcha grinned in unison.
The fighters met back at Capsule Corps.
"I'm gonna go train." was all Vegeta said and walked off.
"Gohan!" A voice yelled.
"Videl?" Gohan asked flustered.
"You said we were supposed to go out this afternoon. It's now 12:00 am! Where were you?" The blue eyed daughter of hercule asked.
"Long story. long story, Videl." Gohan said with a slight blush.
"We're alive!" Yamcha and Krillin cheered, only recieving an odd look from Videl.
Krillin immediately went home to his family. Gohan, Goten, and Goku went home because they're stomachs were rumbling. Piccolo went to the lookout to.....consume water? or drink water. Videl left in a huff. Trunks ran into his house to talk to his grandparents about today's battle.
Yamcha just stood there. What should I do?
why did I come here? Yamcha knocked on Vegeta's training door. The machine shut off and the door opened.
Vegeta looked surprised to see Yamcha, but quickly covered it with a scowl. "What are you doin' here?"
"I ...... don't....know." Yamcha replied and looked at his feet. Dammit! I just got over my fear of women, too! To hell with it.
Yamcha did the last thing he thought he was gonna do. The Maxian grabbed the sides of Vegeta's face and kissed him.
This obviously caught Vegeta off guard. Vegeta let out a gasp and Yamcha took this chance to start frenching.
Vegeta soon melted into it.
Yamcha stepped into the training room and the door closed behind them.
Ahem...they were training all right. ^_~ All night long.
