OK, let's make one thing clear: I do NOT know how to make a bomb!!!!! All I did was write down a few radioactive isotopes from my science book, that's all!

Chapter 15 - The Revelation

Gohan looked at the olive green monster that stood before him, his deadly gleaming in the sunlight and swishing from side to side, terrified. Chi Chi screamed and Goku and Goten rushed to her side. Chi Chi managed to say that she was alright and then ran as fast as she could away from the scene.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" demanded Goku.

"I am Olive, sent by my master to seek and destroy."

"Seek and destroy what?"

"The friends of the Supreme Kai."

"The Supreme Kai? But we've never met him before."

"That doesn't matter. You might not know him, but he respects you and he also claims to be your biggest fan. Now enough with the talk. I have in my hand a nuclear weapon, so I don't think you should make me angry. This thing could kill you," said Olive with an evil grin.

"Won't you get killed as well?" asked Gohan.

"No, it doesn't even scratch me, cause I'm far too strong to get hurt by such a weak bomb," chuckled Olive, his tail blade getting a bit too close to Gohan for comfort. "I see you're admiring my tail," said Olive when he noticed Gohan slowly backing away. "It can cut nearly everything, you know. One of the sharpest things in the universe. Would you like a demonstration?"

Olive caught Gohan off guard, and in the blink of an eye his Saiyaman helmet was sliced into neat pieces.

Olive struck a fighting position and said, "so Goku, are you ready to meet your doom?" Goku's eyes widened. "How did you know my name?"

"Oh, my master knows a lot about you."

Goku's saiyan instincts and love of life made him accept the challenge without hesitation, and turned super saiyan. Gohan did the same, and the three were ready to lock horns in battle.

"Wait!"

Olive, Goku, Gohan and Goten all looked up and saw Piccolo, Vegeta, M.Trunks, C.Trunks and Krillin in the air. "I don't think your wife would be too pleased if her restaurant was destroyed by you," warned Piccolo. Goku realised that he was right and requested for the fight to be moved to another location. Olive grumpily agreed and everyone flew off to a deserted island.

"So I was right in not entirely trusting you," said Piccolo. Olive smiled. "My master has slightly underestimated you, namek. But then again, everyone seems to do that. You know a lot, but not as much as you think you do."

"Who's your master anyway? He must be pretty weak if he needs you to do all the dirty work for him. Or is like a guy called Frieza? He used all his men like pawns, and got rid of them when they weren't needed. And you don't seem that strong either," said Vegeta.

"Oh no, you have it all wrong. Well, most of it, anyway. First of all, she's not a he. Secondly, she's considered the most powerful being in my universe. Not the strongest, though. That's where I come in." Vegeta was taken aback. His master is a female? That's absurd! How can one woman be the most powerful being in the universe, yet not the strongest? I always thought that strength was power and power was strength!

"So what? you still haven't told us her name."

"My master's name is of no concern to you. Besides, she doesn't have time for ingorant fools such as yourselves," replied Olive coolly. He knew that his answer would have hurt Vegeta's pride. Vegeta couldn't think of anything to say as he struggled to contain his anger.

"Since you're acting so calm and confident, I suppose you think you're pretty tough. Am I right?" asked Goku.

"Oh yes. I'm much stronger than you'll ever be."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Very sure," and just to show that he wasn't bluffing, Olive started to slowly raise his power level. Krillin started trembling as he realised that he was no match against him. Man, why do I always have to be the one who backs out of a battle? Olive sensed Krillin's fear and smiled. I guess he'll be my first victim. He took a few steps forward, and within a split second of him stopping, his blade was at Krillin's throat.

Krillin was terrified. "Uh guys, this would be a good time to attack! My life is in danger here!" Goku powered up some more and told Olive to withdraw his blade. "Yeah, don't even think about hurting Mr. Krillin or else Trunks and I will make you pay!" threatened Goten.

"You think that you can hurt me? Impossible."

Krillin was trying to step away from the curved, sharp edge of Olive's blade, but it seemed stuck to his neck. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," warned Olive. "I might accidentally slip and kill you!" He started laughing. "But it doesn't matter, does it? You're going to die anyway! If not by my hands, I mean tail, then by natural causes. I'm just here to speed things up."

Goten couldn't take it anymore. He took off and attacked Olive head on. C.Trunks followed his friend, and the two punnched away at the monster.

"Goten, Trunks, don't do that!"

"Your father's right, Goten. If you make me lose my balance or even twitch, you're friend will be gone."

M.Trunks called C.Trunks and Goten back (that sounded like Pokémon, when they go 'return Bulbasaur,' only here M.Trunks is saying, 'return, Trunks, return, Goten.' Yeah... back to the story...) and Olive slowly and purposefully activated the bomb.

"This thing is set to go off in five minutes, but I'll let you try and deactivate the bomb. You have only one chance. Get it wrong and say goodbye to this planet."

Everyone turned to face Goku and M.Trunks said, "Goku, use your instant transmission to get my mother here as fast as you can." Goku nodded, put two fingers to his forehead, concentrated, and then teleported away.

He reappeared at the Capsule Corp and grabbed Bulma. She screamed and demanded to be let go. Goku did and apologised, saying that he was in a hurry and had only five minutes to deactivate the bomb.

"A miniature warhead, eh? You'll have to wait a minute while I get my stuff, and then we can go." Bulma ran off to her study and then came back with her tools. The two teleported back to the island, and there were only four minutes left. Bulma immediately got to work, studying the structure of the bomb and its wiring.

"Now let's see here... man, this thing is complex! There's a blue wire, green wire, red, purple, dark blue, black, brown, grey, yellow, orange, pink, light blue, white, dark green, a red and green striped wire, yellow and green, blue and black, how many wires are there?! Wow, this thing's got it all (here I go with a list of radioactive isotopes...) potassium-40, rubidium-87, thorium-232, uranium-235, uranium-238, carbon-14, lead-206 and huge amounts of trinitrotoluene! (That was TNT...) This thing has the potential to destroy this planet thousands of times over! Amazing! So small yet so powerful! Disarming this bomb is going to be hard though. First I'll have to figure out which wire does what, and then try to clip the right ones in time!"

"Two minutes."

"If the blue wire is connected to the orange wire, then that means the red wire does nothing. Oh, I get it now, half these wires are here just to confuse me! Am I a genius or what? So now I only have to choose from the blue, dark blue, light blue, orange, black, white, and the red and green striped wire. That one seems to be joined to the timer... hmmm... this one's connected to that one... which leaves the orange wire. That's it! This is the one!" Bulma grabbed her pliers and cut the orange wire. The bomb shut down, and she sighed with relief.

"Nice work, but I'm afraid that it's true: with every good thing comes a bad," sneered Olive. His eyes bored into Krillin's, and then with a flick of his tail, Krillin's throat was cut. A bright red line appeared across his neck, and his friends looked on in horror as Krillin struggled to stay alive.

"You monster!" shouted Goku, his voice filled with anger. "How can you take a life so freely like that?"

"The death of one is of no account, especially when this planet has over six billion people. Now should I put an end to his misery quickly, or should I let him suffer?"

"Don't... worry... about... me..." mouthed Krillin. "All... that... matters... is... that... Olive... is... killed..."

Olive formed a ball of ki in his hand, then shot it at Krillin. The others looked on helplessly at the cloud of smoke that shrouded their friend. When the air cleared, there was nothing left except for a giant crater.
