9. The Saiyajin Games

8. The Saiya-jin games

Entering a second shady building Vegeta instantly checked cave-in possibilities. Unlike on the ship where she and Gokuu had held back the last bits, to keep the ship in one piece, she was intended to go all out here. Maybe ask for an outside fightthis looked ready to collapseShe walked up to the scribe.

"I want to enter the Saiya-jin league." The wolf headed guy nodded as he eyed her tail.
"Surename please?"
"Vegeta, and I have a suggestion. When I fight that guyGokuu, best send us outside, or we'll tear this place down."
"T...thanks for the warninggrudge between you two?"
"Just a bit. Power match."
"Aw crapsure you two can fight it out outside. Does have possibilitywhat a show" He muttered to himself. Smug she rejoined the others and stood with Jewel and Chichi. Jewel also having entered.

"First match! Bardock VS Solan!" An announcer informed. Bardock and Solan smirked nasty at the other.

"You know I HAVE to whip your ass around. My brat is watchingand I 'am' the captain" Solan smirked wider.
"My woman is watchingand I give shit about your rank"
"Hey? You and Jewel mates?" Solan shook his head.

"Nah she's still mad over that Cat incident years back. Y'know? With your brat apologising to the kitty nurse?"
"AhI see"
"Been such a good boy since"

"I have plenty in my book" he offered.
"Nah I'll stick with mine."
"GO!" The ref. cried.

"Oh yeah" Both exclaimed. Both handing the other a flurry of kicks. To each amazement they were almost equal. Both stood cross before the other with arms parched in their waists.

"You've been training!" Both snarled. Vegeta was the only who started laughing. Hanging crying in glee against Gokuu who was stunned this made her crack up like that.
"I Dunno about those bets anymorehe might actually lose" Chichi muttered weary. Gokuu shook his head.
"No, I trained with dad, he's stronger."

"Pfffewthank Dende. I put everything up" Chichi stammered.
"Okay, then I will go full. And warningI've been training with my kid for more then a year" Solan gulpedcrap? "Hold this would yah?" He tossed a ki ball which the oath actually caught before throwing it up with singed hands, he whirled around too late and was send flying by Bardock who had to laugh before doing a next more.

"Didn't know you were that stupid!" Solan got up and blasted Bardock who got singed because he hadn't finished his fit.
"DAD. Get yourself together! We betted all on, you!"

"Sorry kidbut he caught it?!" he grinned some more as he darted from Solan's grasp. "Now Solan, don't get madI see it in your eyes if your mad you can't think straight!old buddy!" And cracked up in Solan's face who flushed frustrated.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We seem to have a personal fete here!" The announcer wailed in glee.
"He always does it. Bardock I mean, always making a laughing stock of Solan and throwing him into the cage while he's too angry to think." Jewel sighed. Her money

"Now come on Solancalm down, you had 300 years to think up a new strategyGive it to me!" Bardock teased.
"Here catch" Solan cried and Bardock actually felt it as he tossed it up and through the ceiling. Expecting him behind him he whirled around as his feet were kicked from under him. And landed smacking into the floor where Solan pummelled him. Hmmstarted blocking blows and loaded a tad higher as he threw him off. Solan stood behind him and planted Bardock's face against the electrified fence.

"Hey bratI'm a bit stuck. Shall I load to my max and kick his hide, or lay low and let him win."
"YOU WIN." Gokuu sweat dropped, he needed that MONEY.
"Okay. Playtime over Solan." He threw him back and soon had an aura dancing around him. "You know Vegeta, it's actually a Jazz having yourself electrified. Clears the pores" He snickered as Solan rose soar. "Lets return the favour." Suddenly Solan squirmed against the fence where Bardock pinned him. Jewel cursed. There went her moneyshould have betted on Bardock, but she was loyal to Solanah well no beer. Instead of the knock out it was until one said enough. After 10 more minutes of torture Solan gave in. Smug as a bug Bardock yanked Solan like an old buddy to the bar to get him a deserved beer. Routine.

"Tomorrow another day. Maybe when we come back." He promised the peeved Saiya-jin.
"Sure"

"MEAT VS RONIN ! And no crowdNO HE'S NO STEAK!" the couple entered as Meat smirked while Ronin eyed him cool and collected.

"Your going down"
"You wishyour having a bad day Meat, my fellow." Ronin chided as he smirking back.

"So ahwho's gonna win Eh?" Someone prodded Vegeta. Grabbing the prodding limb she nearly snapped it in two.
"Don't ask me." She replied calm. Tossing him back more then content.
"Nope, ask me." Jazz stated beside her after that place went vacant quickly. Wonder why they fled?
"Well?" someone asked. Putting out a serpent tong.
"Pay up for advice." He held his palm open and soon it was stuffed with credits. They huddled around him. "Ronin. Meat's just a mechanic." He whispered. Smug they fled to the betting boxes.

"Yeah well" Jazz mused as Vegeta eyed him bemused. "Who am I to tell tail of Meat's nightly adventures in his hidden gravity room near Lola?" He shrugged. "No idea who wins."
This should prove interesting." She replied as Gokuu coached both Saiya-jins. Not caring who would win. He didn't bet on either. Had to be sure of winningVegeta hadn't even eyed her winnings, just handed them to him! What a girl! Fighting not for the money but for his dadand because she loved itand they would have another swing at the otherand she'd be humiliated before everyonehe sighedwell she would hate him if he'd hold back anywayLife of a man sucked.

Bardock hiccuped and burped. Holding a boot filled with ale.
"I am-hiccup- in shit bratgot me -hiccup, burp- a double match with Roninagainst -hiccup- Meat and Solan" with watery red eyes Bardock beamed as he hung on Vegeta. Who stood like a pillar and could careless. But would kill him if he'd toss that boot over her. Bardock flopped an arm around Gokuu and Chichi and yanked them all in a bear hug.

"Luv you all kiddies. Just don't bet on me or you'll lose. -hiccup. Fart-. Oops" Grinning he strolled away. "Good think i-hiccup- made Solan drink as much as me" And laughed happily. Gokuu put his hand in his face. Embarrassed

"Why meAH dad's recipebe right back." Skipping Gokuu left to a bar. There he met Jewel who sighed frustrated. Mixing a lot of junk.
"Hey, opposition's sidehe's drunk too?" Gokuu nodded at him as she giggled. "Men and losing. Ah well. Here, made enough for two." Thankful he took the dirty brown substance in a glass and worked back to his dad who was telling strong imaginative stories of battles he never fought.

"Dad, heads up!"
"Huh? Booze?"
"Heavy stuff. Open wide" Gokuu poured the whole glass down as Bardock turned green and put his finger on his lipsthen swallowed and turned normal again.
"Okaymessage receivedgimme five" He moaned. Suddenly ran past Gokuu who swayed to keep balance and fled outside joined by Solan. After puking themselves clean they green faced returned. Wiping their mouths with sour looks.

"I so don't want to know what she put in" Solan stammered.
"My brat makes a wicked juice tooI am so proudbleach." Then turned serious and elbowed the other sharply before joining their future team mates. Meat had won. Much to Ronin's surprise and frustration.

"Aw come on, I'll compensate" Bardock whispered. "YOU LOSE!" He stuck the finger nearly up Meat's ass. Meat smacked Bardock with his tail.
"You wishone day fly."
"WHAT? ONE DAY?"

"And the game is afootand not in the cagewatch out!" The announcer chided as Solan wormed over with Ronin. He tried to support his fellow team member Meat, However Ronin jumped his back before he reached them.

"WHEE! Go Horsy!" He slammed Solan's head eager. In the back Vegeta smirking applauded. Nice showJewel beside Vegeta got annoyed with a slithering thing hitting on her. And blasted his head off. Vegeta eyed the green blood splashing on her shoulder and whirled to face Jewel who paled.

"Umnot my fault his bloods too thin" She pointed at the headless corps. Muttering Vegeta dusted him. Sweat dropping Jewel quickly retrieved a clothhappening to own to a big oath of a man. Who wasn't that happy she took his shirta shadow fell over both women as Gokuu cried to his dad to give Solan a head bash. Actually waving his fist while standing on three soar men.

"Yeah brat, I know brat, I see himouch didn'tDAMN YOU!" Bardock whined as his tail was pulled by Meat who bit in it. Angry Ronin bit Meat. In pain Bardock bit Solan's hand and Solan, not knowing what else to dopulled Bardock's hair. A bell sounded. All pulled free and downed two glasses of ale. The bell sounded again as they jumped the other in a tangled mess before the bar. Slamming with glasses and bottles. And the bar man? He was shocked and weary to think of the poor barmen in their blooming years

Vegeta glanced up at the shadow falling over her as she threw the rag away. Angry Solan grabbed a table and slammed it on Bardock's back. Meat grabbed a chair and chased Ronin who blasted the chair. Ronin and Bardock together grabbed a long heavy oak tabled and threw it at the opposition who were pinned on the ground.

"Why did your friend take my SHIRT?" He thundered above Vegeta who tried to follow the very escalating fight. Even betters were thrown about. Each warring a pin with the one they betted on. So Bardock and Ronin carefully caught their allies while Solan and Meat did as well. Whilethe opposing group were free game to each.

"BecauseI was dirty and she nice?" Jewel eyed Vegeta and the big male before them.
"Jewel? Everyone is having funcare to join?" Vegeta invited. Waving inviting to her BIG 'friend'.

"SURE! Hey big guy, wanna dance? I DO." He flew over the heads as the Saiya-jins ducked.
"Nice one! OUCH Meat? Watch out for my pretty FACE?"

"Come on dick, your bloody ugly, I'm renovating it" Meat smirked as he saw Ronin charge. And this? For the coming 45 minutesand actuallythey didn't seem to know who wonOn the news they heard about the biggest barroom brawl in 300 years. Soar the Saiya-jins piled out on the roof. Vegeta and Gokuu the only ones who were as fresh as can be. Soar Chichi flopped beside Bardock. She had one black eye, soar all over but what a blast

"You kid. Were born in the wrong race." Bardock mused.
"Compliment I'd take" And she was out cold. Laying against his hurt shoulder. But what the hey. He hurt all over. He snickered as he eyed her. Bloodied face. Busted lip, busted eyehair all over the place instead of her usually neat bunghe likedVegeta sighed as she eyed Gokuu.

"I still want too."
"Yup. Me too. Butthere is no one to bet. They all fled"
"Such a poet" Vegeta snickered. Gokuu beamed.
"But look on the bright side, we have like 3 daysone is pasttomorrow?" she sighed again.
"And tomorrow, and tomorrowFine. I can wait. I'll kick your butt today or tomorrow." SURE, big wordsbut she might winif she'd keep her cool and used her head. Sometimes the weaker did winRight? Flopping down after taking it this would be their bunk for the night Vegeta eyed the stars. Gokuu flopped beside her.

"Say kid?" Bardock mused after awhile. Gokuu blanched over Vegeta to Bardock.
"Yes?"
"What did you put in that drink earlier? I'm still hyperdidn't fartdidn't burp"
"I didn't dadJewel shared."
"Oh noI had a Jewel wacky shaker?"
"You." Bardock rubbed his stomach. "Poor bodyhope she didn't add acidlast time I had something of her handI was hyper 32 hourscouldn't sleep or stand still" Fell off his elbow and dropped down with a thud. Snoring greeted Gokuu.

"Not this time dad" And flopped down himself. He and Vegeta continued staring up. She thinking up new tactics. He musing how he could win smoothestno use battering her up

As dawn arrivedmoaning and groaning, instead of a rooster greeted the sunrise. Smug Vegeta eyed the sick and illBardock still hyper. Solan hyper. Meat, Jazz, Ronin and Jewel, monsters of hangovers. And aside from that battered and bruised. Chichi rose stiff as a board. Next to Jazz. H9ow she got there from Bardock? No idea. Ouch

"Lemme fixI can fixmy head" Jazz whining leaned to Chichi and pushed her down. She yelped in pain. Aching muscles loudly complaining at his moves as he flopped her on her belly and started attacking her back muscles. She moaned loudly.

"OUCH, damned torture!" She howled. All cringed but Gokuu and Vegeta who loved every second.
"Who exactly won yesterday?" Bardock asked carefully. Vegeta laughed.
"It was a tie"
"Dratoh wellnext time" on their arms Vegeta and Gokuu watched the spectacle. Jewel being treated for her back by Solan. Ronin helping Meat. And Chichi after awhilea LONG while. Managed to move without too much pain, massaged Jazz's back. Meanwhile Bardock sighed.

"Brat? Could you?"
"No."
"MaybeV?"
"No way." He sighed.
"I want Toora back" He whined. Vegeta sighed annoyed. That's right. They didn't have three days as Gokuu had put it. They needed Namek. Moody Vegeta abruptly rose and waved Gokuu after her. Jumping off the tin roof. Quickly followed by him.

"Look. Do you still have some money left?" She asked.
"4 bags? I picked some lost money tooshame to leave it" Good. Vetch them. The dumb troopers need some time to get used to their busted bodies and heads. We could do something more useful." Gokuu walked sighing inside.

"Gee Vegeta, I wonder what I would do without you." He muttered sarcastic. Vegeta ignored it.

They flew across the city to a great square. Hoping for some beings with knowledge Vegeta landed before an elderly man who seemed to hold together only by wrappings. Which made him look like a mummy. Red glowing eyes peered back at her as a sighing Gokuu landed behind her.

"Saiya-jin, Saiya-jin, never losing always win" He sung. Vegeta eyed him as if he were a crackpot and started glancing around. Some people were huddling around similar elderly mummies and seemed to ask them stuff too. Meanwhile Gokuu already taking notice before, walked to the elderly man before Vegeta who pulled on one of his wrappings. Seeing to wait patiently.

"Could you help us? We are looking for Planet Namek.." Vegeta busted a vein and eyed Gokuu who ignored her.
"Might as well yell it through this square" She grunted. Standing now behind Gokuu as the man responded.

"Death in the past, death in the future to comedeath will be overcome to some" Stunned Gokuu blinked as Vegeta slapped her head. Their lucka riddler AND nutcase. Who let him walk freely?

"One of you, is not so swell, he will find relief in the well" Shaking her head Vegeta gave up.
"Sir? Which well do you mean?" To him it all made sense.

"The well of wishes to come, but denied to some" Vegeta peered past Gokuu.
"And who are denied old man?" She asked.

"Those with black souls have many sins to bare, to those the well will not grant wishes I swear." Vegeta humped.
"Well we're in luck then. I have you." She poked Gokuu smirking. "And test myself while doing so. Besides by what reference does the well judge. I met Yemma, I was sent to heaven." She stated afterwards.

"Fly to the west, and pass the test."
"Huh? What test?" Gokuu asked as Vegeta lost it
"WHAT TEST? WHY WEST?" She paused and sighed. She was infectedbut the old man understood fine though. He seemed to smile under his wraps.

"A worrier you are, and as a worrier you shall be tested. If you lose, you shall be detested."
"We're both?" She tapped her chest, before smacking Gokuu's armour with a backhand. He merely nodded. Great.

"Well west it is" A wrapped hand was shoved in Vegeta's face.
"Obviously not free" Gokuu mused. Digging up some credits from one of the bags and handed it smiling friendly. The man nodded and walked away. Muttering something different. Both pulled the bags over their shoulders as Gokuu with scouter pinpointed west. The mummy turned thoughtful.

"Saiya-jin! Watch out for the wizard!" Turned and disappeared in the crowd. Stunned Vegeta and Gokuu eyed the other. He could speak normal?

"Feel like blasting him." She muttered angry as she followed Gokuu.
"Then his prediction would come true." He replied as they flew super Saiya-jin to the west. "You knowhe spoke of death earlier."
"I still think he broke out of a loony bin. What if we're chasing a dead end?"
"Then we had a nice day out." Vegeta flew up until she flew beside him.
"We only have a few days to help your dad remember? We can't afford time loss due to stupid old men with a screwed head." He smiled before smirking dark. He glanced before him.

"I see. Your chickening out."
"AM NOT."
"Well stop yapping and try and keep up." He suddenly upped the pace until Vegeta really had to use her resources.

In the city Bardock burped at a bar. Before him empty glasses strewn about. Solan eyed it weary with the others. Blindly Bardock grabbed another refill and dunked it down.

"UmBardock? Don't you think you had enough? At this rate you won't last to nightfall" Jewel mused.
"Screw nightfallyou don't wanna have your glass? Hand it over Tooratoo tired? Yeah me tooI'll get it" He took another refilled glass.

Jazz frowned.
"Shouldn't we alert Gokuu? At this rate he will me KO at noon" he muttered as Meat sighed.
"They split. Neither Vegeta or Gokuu is in the city. Maybe their butting heads as we speak." Jewel laughed weary.
"Well no earthquakes"
"True"

"YO BARKEEPER. Refill! For me and my mate!"
"Sureyou'll die of alcohol poisoning all alone." The barkeeper replied as he took away all empty glasses and put a big bottle and one glass up instead.

Gokuu flew onwards. Vegeta beside him until both saw a clearing with a red mark over a well. Stunned Vegeta and Gokuu landed.

"What? Where is that wizard he muttered about?" Vegeta asked. All they saw was a cat walking over some old bones. Gokuu scratched his head confused.

"I don't sense high Ki eithermaybe he's hiding?"
"Well" She threw back her head. "I for one have better things to do then wait for a wizard to come home. Lets wish and get this over with. Umwhat should we wish? Namek information or one of his team?" Gokuu tapped his chin.

"One of his team. We can get the Namek information later from the square." She sighed desperate. Again to the loony-bin? And strolled to the tiger sized 'cat'.

"Here kitty-kittygo wish your dad's friend then." Walking up she tried to pet it, being fond of feral cats, no matter the size when a shadow was cast over her. Instead of the 'little' catshe eyed a huge front pawout shot a set of nails that could do some serious damagesweat dropping she eyed Gokuu who eyed her with BIG eyes.

"UmVegeta? He had a growth spurt" She nodded gulping as the beast started hissing.
"I think we found the wizard" she stammered. Shook off the fright and turned back around. Jumping away as a set of nails rushed at her.

"GO WISH, I'LL DRAW HIS ATTENTION!" She cried. Nodding Gokuu ran to the beasts blind side and hung over the well.
"I wish Toora alive!" in the water came lettering.

-Specify wish- Nervous he eyed Vegeta who had a hard time dodging paws and teeth even while super Saiya-jin!

"I wish the Saiya-jin Toora, from my father, Bardock's team to be alive and well before me!" Vegeta was swatted into a boulder and rose sour. This was so not her idea.
"Vegeta DUCK!" Gokuu cried as someone flew overhead and blasted the cat. Vegeta was crushed under the still warm body.

Flattened Vegeta tried to squirm free but the body seemed heavy! Impossible but true. It pinned her down! Going out of super she cursed passionately.

"Need a hand Vegeta?" Gokuu asked weary as Vegeta humped and pulled in vein. Yet again a shadow fell over her and this time it came from a kneeling Saiya-jin. PERFECT.

"I live to serve" A low voice stated.
"How niceGET IT OFF!" confused Gokuu eyed her behind the man.

"How come he can and I couldn't?"
"Just because." She muttered as he tried to lift the animal, and as well came to the realisation this animal was heavier then it looked.

'Umit seems stuck" He stammered. Not willing to admit it was too heavy.
'Not STUCKGokuu?" thrilled Gokuu walked past and daftly shoved the male away. Rubbed his hands and stood firm as he flashed super and into second as he pulled on the beastand panted and pulled and heaved. What the hell? Flashed down to normal and frowned.

"She's seriously stuck" He mused astonished. "Vegeta? Cover your eyes. You won't like to watch this." Weary Vegeta peered up.
"I won't?"
"No" She blinked then wailed.
"OH NO!!!" But he already was doing so. The body was incinerated as Vegeta barely in time pulled up a block. 4 minutes later had a furious Vegeta poking Gokuu's chest.

"YOU RUNT! For one you should have warned me you'd BLAST. Second I could have lost my HAIR, thirdI LOST LEG HAIR! Now that isn't a problembut WARN first?" He nodded bemused.
"I thought you know what I was planning" He snickered. She sweat dropped.
"Obviously NOT. I figured you'd blast but not to incinerate BOTH of us." He waved it off beaming.
"I knew you could handle it." She turned to the guy in blue armour and as she did he flopped on one knee again and bowed with his arm across his chest in salute.

"Aw pleasedidn't we already have this?" she muttered.
"Yes. But he's new. I guessyou'll have to explain all over again." Gokuu teased.
"Your father's team mate, not mine. He'll explain. What was his name again?"

"My name is Toora sire." He replied.
"First." She stated. "Cut the royal junk OUT. Or I'll get nasty. Second. Follow us. Come on Gokuu. Where did those bags go?" she walked away as Toora eyed her blankly. Gokuu smiled and eyed him. He was taller then he was. But not much.

"Yeah I'm his son."
"WOW, a copy. So where is he? The lazy bum as Cel called him."
"Cel?"
"Yeah Celipa."
"Oh well she's not here yetdad is. Hey? Where did Vegeta go?" they turned around as they heard Vegeta crying out baby sounds. Stunned Gokuu ran over and found Vegeta picking up a small kitten.

"Awpoor thingwhere is your mommy?" it mewed softly and tried to claw her. Her armour deflected it so she never noticed.
"Um Vegeta" Gokuu stammered
"I blasted it." Toora concluded. Vegeta glared at him.

"When did you" Her eyes darted to the now shrinking corps.

Both men nodded nervous as she eyed the little kitten who gave up fighting and wailed hungry. She held it before her nose and tilted her head.

"Wonder what he needsfood or milk"
"Is it a he?" Gokuu asked. Walking over. The kitten hissed and tried to claw him. "Lively tyke" He smiled as Toora snagged a rabbit and ripped off a hint leg and hung it before the kittens nose. It whiffed and pulled it's nose away.

"Milk. It's a chibi."
"Hmm" Vegeta walked away without the bag and hovered up.

"Coming? Oh Toora mind taking our credit bag?" He walked over and peered inside stunned.
"All credits? Wow" Pulled it over his shoulder and followed Gokuu. Who's resemblance to his team leader was uncanny but not abnormal. Kids tended to take after their parents.

"So how's Bardock?" he asked while Vegeta stuffed the starved kitten in her armour for warmth. A fluffy head with big blue eyes stuck out with two paws. The eyes nearly closed due to the wind gushes.

"Wellhe could be better." Gokuu admitted. Toora lifted an eyebrow.
'how come?"
"Homesick." He smirked sour. Toora frowned.
"Now that's a problem. As our home was blown up."

"Not the planetwell a little I guess, but the people more." He eyed Toora who started laughing.
"Poor dope. Can't with without us. How touching. Knowing him he's probably very drunk."

"No idea, when we left he had a gigantic hangover." Vegeta replied. Falling back till she flew beside Toora. On the other side Gokuu flew. The kitten mewed in annoyance at the wind. So Vegeta dunked it under in her armour where it mewed even more pitiful. Touched Vegeta frowned what to do next. Toora laughed loudly again as Gokuu updated him on the last years with Bardock. His captain-ship and his lady hunting.

"Lady hunting, he already fancied. But captain? With his forgetful mind?" Gokuu eyed him.
"He doesn't much anymoreforget things?" He defended. Well aside from that forgetting parent meetings at school, or going to the courthouse for his numerous speed ticketssmall things

Suddenly Vegeta swooped down into the forest below before flying up again with a huge leaf. Yanked out the kitten and rolled it into the leaf. It stopped mewing and eyed up at Vegeta who held it and leave like an infant in her arms. Toora felt like making fun of it but declined.

Bardock nearly rolled off the stool and laughed because of it. Clung the bar and rammed the empty bottle on the smooth surface.

"MORE!"
"Comingyour not the only visitor." The barman grunted.
"MORE NOW!" Bardock formed a Ki ball. Instantly three bottles landed before him. Smug he pried one open.

"Hi Gokuu! Hi Vegeta!" Jewel welcomed. "Hiack? WOW!" She swarmed around a smirking Toora.
"Hi Jewel" He eyed Bardock. Who was about to blast an unwilling bottle. Sweat dropping he ran over and pulled it away. "You can't open them while drunk, remember?" He chided.

"I know, you always open them." Bardock grunted as his ball dissipated.
"So, what bit you?" he asked as he hid the other bottles and drank this bottle alone down in one go. Bardock eyed him soar.
"So unsociableactually I forgot." He swung back as Gokuu quickly blocked his fall. He patted him absently and grabbed the edge again.

"Met my brat? Is a good brat." He muttered. "Sometimes super annoying" Gokuu frowned.
"Am not dad. Your drunk."
"Like hell I am." Bardock loudly agreed.
"Bardock shut your yap or I'll slam it shut for youagain." Toora sweetly informed.

"Me? As silent as a mice. I thought I ordered just nowMORE."
"NO!" Toora countered. "Mission tomorrow? Remember?" he messed Bardock's hair.
"We do?" Toora nodded. "Where too?"
"Tenma 8?" Bardock frowned.
"Oh?" then dropped unconscious." Toora snickered as Gokuu gathered him in his arms.

'Go fig. He ALWAYS did that. Drink until dawn. Instantly pass out when you tell about a mission. Still has to teach me. What a downerhe's out cold" Jewel bounced over.

"Vegeta and Gokuu will butt heads tonightright guys?" behind her the other Saiya-jin wear nodded. Why did she HAVE to bring that up? Vegeta glanced up from her bottle feeding kitten. And homed in on Gokuu. Oh yeahsoar Gokuu threw a glare at Jewel who smiled sheepish. Oopsto make it up she walked over to see what Vegeta had found. Parched on a stool in the back Vegeta showed her the kitten who glanced up at her. Chichi strolled over and past the others and stomped Jazz's foot in the process. Gokuu eyed her.

"What is" Solan shook his head.
"Don't askshe woke on his chest and thought he tricked her in things"

"Yeah she's such a great LAY." Jazz howled angry. Nothing happened. At leasthe couldn't rememberso her suit was busted after the fightsand so his hand was on her bumdidn't mean nothingright? Confused he shrugged it off. What the hey. He could handle one peeved chick any day. Besides she was weaker.

Chichi stopped before a mushy Jewel who petted the little kitten. Vegeta could swear it was getting smaller! And the smaller it got, the more fond she wasdarn hormones

"What's that?"
"Declan." Vegeta replied. Chichi blinked.
"Is it a Declan?"
"Don't know what it is. One called it a wizard. Mother was killed. So I took it along. Isn't he cute?" Chichi amazed at Vegeta's open response nodded. Sure, small animals always were cute. But they grew bigger

A few hours passed where in most happily drank and chatted. Pestering some ignorant 'guests'. Vegeta growing more and more attached to her Declan. In a corner Gokuu sat with a snoring Bardock. Gokuu won a game of cards against Meat who tossed him some credits. Daft Gokuu dropped them in his bag.

'All for the good cause" Meat mused. "For the snoring drunk."

"Huh? Drunkam not" Bardock muttered slowly waking up 'You have a royal flushyou win"
"I know dad, he just paid out." A loud laugher roar came from across the room where Toora sat with Jewel, Solan, Jazz and Ronin. Who seemed to be telling dirty jokes. Again a salvo as he finished a clue. Jewel sniffed happily against Solan's chest who had an arm around her and snickered.

'You are so rotten"
"Nah, healthy." Ronin stated. "Except this, this is rotten" he farted loudly as all scattered away waving before their noses laughing.
"Great galaxies! What did you EAT!" Toora asked laughing.
"No idea. But I sure smell nice...must be the local cuisine" Ronin snickered. Even himself amazed at the nose overload. In that part of the bar soon everyone fled as the cloud moved to the door. Pale Bardock gasped.

"Iis that whom I think it is?" Chichi standing near Toora laughed amazed as Ronin whiffed his rear.
"WOWthat you can produce that! It's pure gas!" She giggled more. Jewel entering a new laughter fit.
"Lethal gas attack indeed. Oi Chichi, you should have been on Riges 6. He farted Oozaru! A whole town WIPED." Solan laughed. She cried in glee and needed to hold on to the closet thing near her to keep standing.

"I bet his rear hurt!" She laughed. Ronin frowned.
"How did you know? I had a hole in my underpantsUnder my tail." They all cracked up again. Meanwhile Chichi glanced apologetic with tears in her eyes at Toora. Her lifesaver. Toora eyed Bardock with tears in his eyes as well from laughing. Bardock eyed back. Gently he moved around Chichi who laughed at another laughter fit.

"YOU ASS!!! YOU BLOODY DIED IN MY ARMS, DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Bardock howled through the room. All paused and eyed Bardock who was flushed red and had squinted eyes at Toora who calmly walked over.

"Blame Dodoria. He and his squad did."
"YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED! I WAS HEALED SOON AFTER!" Toora tapped his head.
"Something was screwed in your brains. And if you ask mestill is." He snickered as Bardock cursed him.
"YOU ASS, I HATE YOU FOR DYING ON ME! AND DAMNIT I MISSED YOU!" he tossed the table away and ran to Toora. Who took him in a bear hug. Chichi was sure she heard some back bones crackling. To her amazement it was Toora who cringed.

"MANgive a man some air!" Bardock pulled away embarrassed and cleared his throat.
'Yeah wellbeen doing some training. Here." He dug in his armour and pulled out a red stained cloth. Toora took it and sniffed it. It had his blood scenttouched he eyed his smaller comrade.

"Blood revenge? Didn't know you were so fond of me"
"Umyeah welldon't get things in your headI'm still drunk so emotionally unstable" Bardock muttered. Toora hit his back a couple of times.

"Sure you arenow then. Tell me what you did after." They sat in a secluded corner and talked for the upcoming hours.
Chichi strolled to Vegeta who eyed her kitten who fell asleep a long time ago. Wowmother feelings rampant!

"Oh Vegeta? I just came from next door? Their ready to schedule you and Gokuu in" Vegeta glanced up.
"Why? OH YEAH." Energetic she rose with the infant like bundle. Paused and eyed Chichi.

"Hold him until I'm done." Gently she handed the sleeping kitten. Chichi stayed normal until Vegeta's back was turned and started snickering. Silly girl. She walked to Gokuu who sat next to Bardock and Toora. Leaned over the table and poked Gokuu's chest.

"We're on. Now." And turned straight as a board before marching out.
"Bbut Vegetayou haven't eaten!" Gokuu tried. She'd been fussing over that kitten ever since arriving. And thanks to Jeweland he glared at Chichi. And Chichi. He was STUCK.

"No problem." She replied. Before turning smug. "Scared?" peeved he eyed back.
"NOjust don't complain later." She laughed coyly.
"I don't complain about food, you do. Come along."
"Yes MOMMY." Sulking he followed as the others watched the scene.

"They are like each other." Toora muttered bemused. "Are they a couple?"
"Notquite yetBut if my hunch is rightsoon." Bardock mused mysterious.
"Oh? And super Saiya-jin? Both?" Bardock nodded.
"Good fighters too. And for Vegeta this is a power fight." Toora rubbed his hands.
"What are her odds?"
"She'll loose. Mighty stubborn though."

"Hmmtough choicecharacter or strengthstrength characterbut she could be deviousthe strong not always winwho are you betting on?"
"Simple. I won't." Chichi walked over and nodded to Toora.
"What should I do with our credits?" she asked.

"Save 'em for a rainy day. I'm not betting on a power struggle." He stated proud. "It's private between the fighters. And it could crush someone's spirit when they find out exactly who's stronger. No Saiya-jin with pride and honour would bet now." Chichi nodded understanding as she and the others walked out and eyed the couple who stood opposite of the other in the now dark street. Two spotlights on them. Computerised to home in on the power levels. A general fight warning was issued for miles around and not many stayed in the city. Around people were betting on either fighter. The kitten woke and eyed Vegeta with big blue eyes.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen. On the left Princess Vegeta! On the right Gokuu, son of Bardock! Make your bets NOW!"
