Change Point Of View (Danny's View)
"Who the heck did that?" I asked.
"I don't know, but you'd better do something to save the boys!" Chi-Chi answered. I looked over to the frozen boys! I'd forgot about them!
"Turn the heating on full blast. It should thaw them out." I said. Chi-Chi ran off and put on every source of heat in the house. About twenty minutes later, the boys came round.
"Is the heating on? I'm cold" Goten said, shivering.
"Back to normal!" I said, laughing.
The following day, Goten and Trunks were sat on the couch. Their feet submerged in a big bucket of hot water and hot water bottles on their heads. They both had a blanket around them as well. (It was their idea, not mine!)
"You're surely not cold still are you?" I asked. Goten sneezed loudly.
"Yeah, I tink I gotta cold.! Goten said. Trunks sneezed as well.
"Yeah, me too."
"That's what you get for playing in the cold!" I joked, "But, who did this?"
"I know, for a fact, that it was my dad." Trunks said, still with a stuffy nose. "I saw him drag us outside and…and…that's all I can remember."
"He must've knocked you out afterwards." I answered, "So we definitely know Vegeta is a bad guy, but what about the gunman? We need to find who's responsible."
"How you gonna do dat?" Goten said, his head was stuffy as well.
"I don't honestly know. We're gonna have to find out who it is and lure him outta his rat-hole." I responded.
"But what 'bout your leg?" Goten asked, pointing at the wound I had sustained.
"It'll be alright. Plus I'll have to wait until you are better."
"Why can't you go with my dad?" Goten asked.
"Didn't you know? He's gone back to Other World. He was only on Earth for a month." I said.
"Aw. I wanted to say goodbye before he went back!" I looked at Goten. His head was hung low.
"Don't worry. He'll be back again." I said.
Later in the month, I got a knock at the front door. When I opened it, Krillin ran inside.
"Whoa! What's the emergency?" I said to him, holding him back a bit.
"Danny, you'd better hide the boys, quick!"
"Why?"
"Vegeta's been to the lookout. He's hunting down Goten and Trunks. He's heading this direction."
"Calm down, I'm not gonna let him get the boys."
"How?"
"I have a plan…"
About an hour later, somebody started to approach.
"It's my dad!" Trunks said, frightened, "He's come to get us!"
"Don't worry, you're gonna be alright." I said.
"What can you do? You're not even half as powerful as my dad is."
"Who needs strength, when you have cunning."
"He's got that as well." Goten said.
"Oh, now you tell me!" I said, sarcastically.
"But he uses strength more often." Trunks added.
"How have I got a chance? He'll find out my plan." I said.
"What is your plan?" Goten asked.
"You'll see" I answered, but in reality, I hadn't thought of a plan! I was just gonna play along and hope!
"Danny, he's getting closer." Krillin said, pointing.
"Kids, go inside, now!" I said.
"But…"
"JUST GO!"
Without another word of protest, Goten and Trunks ran into the house. Krillin stayed outside with me and watched as Vegeta got closer. As he got nearer, he landed next to us.
"Where are the boys?" he demanded.
"Away from you where they'll be safe." I said.
"How dare you! You're gonna tell me where they are or else…"
"Or else what?" I shouted, "Listen, from what I've heard, you might have been a prince of another planet, but here, you're just a nobody, like everyone else. You can get rid of me, but then you'll never find out where the boys are. So go on then, destroy me." I said, really, really scared. What if he does go ahead and carry out the threat?
"They're inside aren't they?" Vegeta answered.
"And what if they are?" I said. Suddenly, he aimed an energy beam towards the window of Goten's room. The house exploded. Me and Krillin flew forwards from the force of the blast. I looked on as Vegeta flew away. I climbed to my feet.
"I've gotta get the boys outta there." I shouted to Krillin.
"No, wait. It's too late now. They're gone." Krillin answered, holding me back.
"No, they can't be…No, they aren't gone."
"Yea they are, nobody could survive that blast!" Krillin said. I threw his hand off my shoulder.
"I made a promise to protect those kids and I am gonna get them out, dead or alive and if…well…I go too, at least I tried to save them, not like you!" I shouted. Krillin objected to my decision, but it was too late, I was inside.
Lames engulfed everything in sight. There was no sign of the boys. I fought my way up the stairs to Goten's room. They were sat on the floor, coughing violently from smoke inhalation. I picked them up and looked out of the broken window. Krillin was on the ground.
"Krillin, catch the boys, hurry!" I shouted. Krillin flew to the window as Goten climbed out. Krillin caught him and landed, he then flew back up to get Trunks. As soon as I had got Trunks out, I climbed out, hung from the window ledge and dropped. Krillin caught me before I hit the ground.
"Thanks…
"Hey, anytime!" As soon as we landed, I walked up to the boys. They were still coughing, and I started to cough a small bit. At least they were still alive. Just then, Chi-Chi, Bulma and Gohan ran up to us.
"My baby! Is he alright?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Luckily, yes. He's breathed in a lot of smoke, so he'll be coughing for quite a while yet."
"Well you are alright and that's all that matters." Gohan said.
"But look at the house!" Chi-Chi said.
"Doesn't matter, we can get a new one." I said.
A few months later, it was Goten's birthday! Everybody was piled into Gohan's new home…well…everybody except Vegeta. And why wasn't Vegeta there? Because he'd got found out and got jailed for life, in a special cell that was impenetrable to Ki Blasts. Everybody was gathered round while Goten opened his presents.
"Wow! A Laptop Computer! Thanks Danny!" Goten said.
"And Mike got you this as well…" I said, handing him another present. Goten unwrapped it. It was a digital camera. When Goten saw what it was, he got it out of the box. The battery was already charged, so he took loads of pictures of the party and put them on the laptop computer. The party went great.
"Thanks Danny. You're a true pal!"
You think that is it…think again. Don't forget, there was a mysterious person that shot Trunks and me. We still haven't found out who he is… Want to know who it is…Find out in the next story. (If I decide to write it, that is!)
