Disclaimer: The same as always. They're not mine and I don't make money, so don't sue.

Thanks a lot to Ravana and her friends. Read her fics (most are in german). They're great.

Life in hell is…beautifull?

Chapter 4: The great distraction – or – How Jeice escapes

After a short flight, the four remaining members of the Ginyu-force reached an area with huge dark and spikey rocks and a big mountainside, that top vanished high above them in the yellow clouds. There in the center of that mountains was a small passage, that
should lead out of hell. Unfortunately for all the current inhabitants of hell, the passage was guarded by two of the hellogres, a blue one and a red one, also known as Gozu and Mezu. Since the last incident involving some superstrong demons, who had tried
to pass through and escape, the two guards were bestowed with special powers by King Enma. That meant, they were immune to any attacks from the bad guys. Fortunately for for Ginyu and his men, Gozu and Mezu were not the brightest flames down there in HFIL.

"Ok. men. Operation *Supply* starts now! Everybody knows what to do?", Ginyu asked as they descended down. "Jeice, you go and slip through the passage, while we keep them occupied."
Jeice grimmaced but nodded, trying to show a smug grin despite that he rather would curl up and hide beneath a rock. 'I'm so dead... I AM DEAD!' With this thought, he hid behind the huge spikey rocks and waited as did the others.
They didn't had to do so very long, because Gozu and Mezu felt their arrival near the *not so secret* passage. Wondering who was it and why, they decided to actually do their job and keep an eye on the arrivers. Of course Ginyu and his men also felt the presences of the two guards and as they were sure they had their attention they began their *training*.

"We start with warm up first!", Ginyu decided and the three men positioned themselves in a row, the smallest, Guldo, infront, followed by captain Ginyu and then Burter. "And one, and two, and three. Hop, hop, hop.", they shouted in unison, while running on
the spot. Then they changed places so they faced each other in a circle like positon. "We are strong, we are mean, we're the best you've ever seen!", the three men continued, put their hands to their hips and runned forward and backward in short little steps and jumps, enlargening and closing the circle repeatingly. All in one, it surprisingly resembled a nice litte square dance or a folklore dance from ireland or scottland. Gozu and Mezu, who had arrived several minutes ago and now stood behind a great darkblue rock, observing the three, looked confused at each other. Then they shrugged and decided to make their presence known.

"You there!", Gozu said in a harsh tone. "What do you think you're doing here! This is restricted area and nobody is allowed to enter without direct permission of Enma-sama."
Ginyu and his men stopped their *warm-up* and tried to look surprised at the two guards. "Well, we are practicing.", Ginyu said and gave them his best *we have nothing to hide and we really don't want any trouble* smile, which of course looked not very
innocent at all, but as there had been said before, Gozu and Mezu were not very intelligent either. Mezu scratched his head and looked questionly.
"And what do you practice? And why here, of all places in hell?"
"We practicing our battle-poses.", the commander explained first, then looked around and whispered behind his hand. "And we decided to train here, because it is a secret training." The faces of the two guards felt down a little more into a state between
dumbness and curiosity.
"Why?", they asked nearly simultaniously.

"To intimidate our enemies of course!", Burter answered. Then he clapped his hands together while he raised one foot. Then he made a spin around on the other foot and got on one knee, rising his arms in front of him so he looked almost like Romeo proposing to
Juliet from beneath her balcony.
Gozu and Mezu first starred a little dumbfound but then began to snicker. "And that really intimidates your enemies? To me it looks rather funny!", Mezu giggled.
"Of course it's intimidating! You have no idea! Didn't you know that posing is a very special tactic to put your opponent into a disadvantage and to lower their spirit?", Ginyu explained them with a slight purple color tainting his face. 'Have to keep control, have to keep control.', he repeated mentally towards himself.
"Really?"; Mezu asked, still giggling, while Gozu helt on tightly to a stalagtite-like rock, trying not to succumb to the laughter that wanted to burst forth from his throat.
"They're laughing about us, commander!", Burter said clearly disapprovingly. Ginyu meanwhile had a hard time not to try and rip the head off of those two devils. His face darkened to the color of a plum and his headveins bulged out like mad. Then all of a
sudden he calmed down and smiled at the two guards, like a father would so at his sons.

"You're clearly not fond of the great strategies of battle. The posing not only shall intimidate your enemy, it also is a good warm-up for the body and a good opportunity to flex your muscles and go into a fighting stance without your opponent noticing it!", he
explained like a teacher, with his arms crossed before his chest.
Gozu and Mezu stopped their giggling and looked at Ginyu in curiosity. "You mean, it is supposed to look all weird and funny so you can surprise your enemy?" They looked at each other and then at Ginyu and his men again. "That's pretty smart!"
"Of course it is!", Ginyu nodded and then turned towards Guldo and Burter, whose still stood behind him, sweatdropping. "Let's show them, men!", he said. Then he turned back to the two devils and shouted: "Watch out!" Whith this they got into position.

"Jayjayjayjay. I am Burter.", the blue man stepped forth, whirled his arms in circles at this side of his body and then went into a position that would make John Travolta (If they would know him.) cry out of joy, one knee bended, one hand at his hips and the
other pointed straight towards the clouds.

"Hoawoo. It's me, Guldo!", the chubby toad voiced next. He put his hands together in front of his body and raised one leg, so he looked like a small, fat and foureyed thai - templedancer. Then he raised his arms over his head in a birdlike manor, got one one
knee, resembling a little bit the famous atlas, carrying the world and at least managed to turn his four eyes in a way that each one of it looked in a different direction.

Gozu and Mezu got a little pale and tried their best not to vomit at the sight of the rolling eyes.
Then Ginyu took position. "Ha! I am Ginyu!" He faced away from the two guards, stretched his butt in the air and made a windmill with his arms. Then he brought his hands to his feet and bend down so he could look towards the wide-eyed devils through
his legs.

"And now together!", Ginyu shouted. "We are the five fingers on Friezas strong hand. We are the Ginyu-force!", they proclaimed in unison.Gozu and Mezu now looked really impressed.
"I think I understand now.", Mezu whispered and Gozu nodded open mouthed. But then Gozu had of flash of discovery.
"But you are only three!", he said and looked around. "Where is the rest of you?"
The three men sweatdropped. They had completely forgotten, that they were only three by now.
"…They have a special private training.", Ginyu finally said, trying to sound calm and reassuringly.
"Private training session?" Gozu and Mezu looked at Ginyu and his men, whose sweatdroped and faces were colored with a spread of read or purple. Then the two devils looked at each other, then at the Ginuy-force and then back at each other again. Their
faces also began to turn red and purple and they swallowed.
"Yeah, private training…", they mumbled as sweatdrops appeared at their faces. 'I think I don't want to know.', both guardians thought, while several images rushed through their minds and let them lower their eyes in obvious embarrasment.
(ack – image! Reccome and Jeice doing it!)

After several minutes of uneasy silence, Ginyu cleared his throat. "Well, I think it is time. We should fly back home."
Gozu and Mezu came out of their trancelike state, their faces turning to her normal blue and red colors.
"Uh, yes. We also have to go back to work." Then they smiled. "But it was really funny and interesting.", Mezu said.
"Yeah.", Gozu nodded. "maybe we can meet again."
Ginyu, Burter and Guldo looked at each other and the shrugged. "Yes, why not. How about tomorrow?"
"Ok.", the two guards said. "Maybe you can teach us some of your techniques too.", Mezu added with a smile.
Ginyu and his men sweatdropped but then nodded. "Sure, why not. Tomorrow, same time, same place?", the commander Ginyu asked. Then they turned around and raised in the air making their way back towards their domain.
'Seems, we not have to worry about a second distraction maneuver tomorrow.', Ginyu thought with a truly evil grin. 'That went better than I thought. I only hope for Jeice, he also does his job. Or I rip his hairs out one by one personally until he looks like a cue ball!'

Gozu and mezu stood a little longer and watched the three men of the Ginyu-force disappear.
"Do you really think this is a good idea, Mezu?", Gozu asked.
"Sure, Gozu."Mezu answered. I haven't had that much fun in decades!"
"You're right.", the other said. "The last time I had so much fun was as that guy fell down from the snakeway. What was his name again?"
"Son Goku.", Mezu answered. "This one I will never forget!"
With this the two hellguards went back to their duty, guarding and protecting the entrance and the exit of HFIL.

In the meantime Jeice had managed to slip through the entrance of the passage. It was completely dark inside and after a few carefull steps forward, he stumbled over something, that he recognized soon as the steps of a really huge stair. Silently cursing, he rubbed his
bruised shinbone.
"Fine.", he muttered. "It was to be expected. Since hell is down, I have to climb upward."
He breathed deeply and created a small energy-ball in his hand to light the way. Unfortunately the light vanished into nothing after a moment. The orange man sighed in defeat and began climbing the stairway in complete darkness, cursing, muttering and
whinning constantly under his breath.

tbc...

Ok, that's it. First I thought that that chapter sucks. However, Ravana said it's good, so I post it.
Thanks again towards her and her friends.
So, please read and review!
