I don't own Dragonballz

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Must... have... shoot out... must have shoot out... wait! I can't have my shoot out without officer Piccolo!"

17 touched the ground and hid behind the cop cruiser that Piccolo was nearing. When the Namekian put his key in to unlock the car, 17 sprang on him, knocked him out with a kick to the head, and flew away with him slung over his shoulder. Meanwhile, in a small little hut close to
the jungle...

"YAAAAAWWNNN... how long have I been sleeping? That fat excuse for a bounty hunter could be ahead of me by now! Then again, with the rain... he probably isn't. What's that smell?"

Goku sniffed the air, the hut, the floor and then himself. It was the last sniffing that he realized where the problem was.

"I really need a shower."

Goku searched the entire hut, but, being the crude hut that it was, there wasn't even a bucket to gather water with.

"To hell with it. I'm sure there'll be a shallow pool in the jungle."

So, the sexy saiyajin set off into the dense foliage, and started to hum a lovely tune, feeling completely at ease. Of course, being the nincompoop he sometimes is, Goku didn't remember about the dangers that accompanied this tropical forest...

"Seize him!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few hours later, Goku had managed to rid himself of his bindings and kill every last vampiric toucan that was in sight. It got to the point where any speck of bright colours drove the bounty hunter into the fetal position, after he blasted whatever may have been there to smithereens.

"Damn toucans... tried to suck my blood..."

A baboon with a bright butt happened to stroll by, and Goku screamed and incinerated it immediately.

"Why me? Why me?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"We made it! We're at the jungle! Yeehaw!" exclaimed Yajirobe, jumping into the air. His flubber seemed to do a victory dance all on its own.

"Indeed we have, Michelin Man, indeed we have."

"Shut up android."

"Still PMSing Vegeta?"

"I DON'T PMS!!" screamed the thong-clad saiyajin. He cleared his throat in an almost ladylike way, and then continued. "Anyways, you control how long I wear this damn scrap of clothing, right?"

"Why yes... I made the wish, what's your point."

"I can't go into a damn rainforest wearing a thong!"

"Aren't rainforests humid and hot?"

"No one asked you, purple-haired whore."

Trunks' mouth was agape in shock, and 18 simply wrapped her arms around his torso, pulling him close.

"Oh yeah? He's MY whore Vegeta. Your future son is my whore. Oh, and for making him feel bad, you can stay in that thong for a LONG time."

"Dammit!"

Yajirobe started to snicker at Vegeta, but ceased when a large ki beam was practically shoved in his face. The quartet started to walk through the jungle, swerving their heads this way and that at every new sound. Monkeys, birds of all sorts, even something that sounded like an armadillo on crack, at least, that's how 18 put it.

FWAPFWAPFWAPFWAPFWAP!

The crew ducked as a large flock of toucans with blood red eyes tried to swoop down on them.

"WHAT ARE THOSE?" screamed Trunks, cowering in fear and desperately searching for a pack of Elmers to calm his frazzled nerves.

"Well, according to the legend of the fry-pan-princess... those would be the vampiric toucans." said Yajirobe matter-of-factly."

Then, everyone looked at each other, eyes wide in fear.

"AAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Must... have... shoot out..."

17, no longer ace lawyer (still a lawyer, but just not an ace. He lost his own trial!) yet still android fighter walked slowly down the paved road. He had become exhausted from flying, it was as if he needed something, some sort of fuel.

"Why... am... I... so... damn... weak? It's not like Gero programmed me to need any kind of energy... or did he?"

~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~

"Remember 17, if you ever feel weak and dizzy, all you need is love."

"Huh?"

"All you need is love!"

"You have really got to stop watching Moulin Rouge."

"All you need is LOOOOOOOOVE..."

"My virgin ears!"

"Okay, seriously, if you ever feel weak and dizzy, find an alligator and eat it."

"Alligators only live on Earth."

"That's the only planet you should have troubles on... WE COULD BE HEROES... IF JUST FOR ONE DAY..."

"I'm outta here."

"How wonderful life is... now that you're in the world!"

"Aaaaah!"

~*~*END FLASHBACK*~*~

"Where... the hell... am I... gonna find... a fricken... alligator... on a highway??!!"

17's vision slowly became hazy, and as the steam rose from the asphalt, 17 was almost SURE he saw a trace of green scales before he fainted...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"KAMEYAMEYA!!!!"

Yet another brightly coloured animal that WASN'T a vampiric toucan bit the dust. It might have been a snake, it might have been a mongoose, but whatever it was, Goku didn't leave a cell of it behind.

"Toucans... at every turn! I must keep a close lookout... and not let my rival get ahead of me! Why am I talking to myself? Didn't I resolve not to do that? AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

18, Yajirobe, Vegeta and Trunks ran through the dense brush, screaming and flailing their hands like idiots whilst the flock of vampiric toucans pursued them. They ran, and ran, and ran and ran and ran and ran.

"TOOOOUUUUKKKEEEE!!!"

The evil cry of the birds rang through the forest, and our heroes... wait, nope, these guys aren't heroes, they're heartless bitches out for cash who'd kill all the others for it. Let me try again.

The evil cry of the birds rang through the forest, and our villains... wait, nope, they aren't really VILLAINS, that would be Bulma, Dabura and some of the others. I'll get it right this time, I promise.

The evil cry of the birds rang through the forest, and our main characters... I guess that'll just have to do. Our main characters saw... a tree house. Quickly they scrambled up the ladder made of bamboo, shoving each other out of the way in a desperate attempt to be away from the bloodsucking birds. They piled in and slammed the makeshift door there, blocking the toucans from entry. A huge, collective sigh of relief was shared, at least until they saw just who was there...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Just who exactly WAS there? Will 17 wake up? Did he actually see an alligator? What other horrors await in this tropical nightmare? Find out next time! Please let me know what you think!
