Rogue ducked behind Mirai Trunks as a spray of bullets flew past them. "Damn! They must be fighting a war down there!" she said as Mirai powered up to Super Saiyan.
"Yeah! You'll be lucky if you get out alive!" he replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Rogue asked. She got her answer when, with a devilish grin on his face, he phased ahead in the tunnel. "Hey! You bastard! I've got no cover!" Rogue shouted as she dropped to her belly, bullets narrowly missing her head.
"This'll teach you to drive like a crazed buffalo with a stick up its ass!" Mirai smirked, resembling his father for a few, scary moments. A Vegeta with purple hair is not a pretty sight.
"I'll kill you for this, future boy! Just watch out!" Rogue screamed in rage.
"Yeah, yeah! That's what they all say!" With a demented chuckle, Mirai disappeared from view.
"Kami damn teens these days! No respect!" Rogue growled to herself as she began to crawl down the tunnel, G. I. style.
J'dee and S'rac were a bit startled when Mirai Trunks appeared in the middle of the lab. "Hey Zar! What's up?" the purple-haired demi-Saiyan asked.
"Piccolo was kidnapped and we saved him! Goten and the other Trunks are fighting the robots. " Zar explained.
"Well, then let's go!" Mirai was about to pick up Piccolo when Zar stopped him.
"But the scientist people got data on him so we need to destroy it!" Zar explained.
"It's Mirai!" J'dee exclaimed, recovering from her initial shock.
"Wow…" S'rac opened and closed his mouth a few times, struggling to absorb this new data.
"Hi…" Mirai waved slightly at the two new people and turned back to Zar. "So…"
"We've got all the papers piled up, now we just need something to set them on fire," Zar told him.
"I forgot my lighter at the hotel," J'dee said as she patted down her pockets.
"Well, we need to light these on fire some way!"
"I forgot my lighter at the hotel," J'dee said as she patted down her pockets.
"Damn! We need to light these on fire some way!" Zar moaned.
"I'll do it!" Mirai raised a hand to shoot a ki blast but was stopped by a voice.
"Did I hear the word 'fire'?" Rogue stood and brushed off her pants. She looked up again and saw Mirai. "You! I nearly got shot a lot of times because of you!" she snarled and lunged at him. Mirai phased out of her way and she landed, sprawled, on the floor.
"I'm gonna go help the chibis!" Mirai disappeared.
"How're we gonna destroy the papers now?" Zar howled as Rogue stood up.
"Just shut up brat and find me this guy's hairspray," Rogue said, nudging McConnell with a toe.
"Why sh-"
"Just do it!"
"Fine…" Zar slinked off towards the scientist's desk to find the object.
"How do you know he uses hairspray?" S'rac asked.
"Because his hair is like a helmet. Feel it!" Rogue crouched down by McConnell and poked his hair with her finger. The hair stayed put. It didn't bend or even move a little. It just stayed.
"That guy's queer…" Zar said as he handed Rogue the hairspray. Attached to it was a receipt reading that it was bought three days ago. The can was one-third empty.
"Yeah… completely." Rogue shook up the can and took a lighter out of her pocket. She grinned at the others, "Watch and learn." She lit the lighter and sprayed the hairspray through the flame. The hairspray turned into a large flaming mass. "Homemade flamethrower," she smirked.
"Awesome!" Zar bounced around happily and excitedly exclaimed, "I'm gonna steal kaasan's hairspray and do that!"
"Just don't tell your sis who you learned it from," Rogue told him, pausing the spray momentarily.
"I won't!"
"Good," she started spraying again and began flaming all the documents. The glow of the flames cast shadows and light eerily over her face as she laughed maniacally at the flaming papers.
"Can I do it for a little?" Zar asked.
"Sure!" Rogue handed him the lighter and the hairspray can, which was decidedly lighter now. It took Zar a few tries to get the flame going but then he had a lot of fun with the flamethrower.
Rogue started opening the drawers of the desk, looking for more burning material. She found a pile of papers labeled "Cures for Diseases" and she threw those in without bothering to read the title. She just kept on throwing in every type of burnable material she came across until she found a packet of photos. She opened it and gasped. She had found the naked pictures of Piccolo.
"Ooooo boy… I could make a lot of money on these," Rogue chuckled to herself and put the photos in the inside pocket of her coat. Under the photos, she found a wad of bills that were mostly fifties. I'm gonna be rich! Money and the pics! Today is my day!
Suddenly, Rogue got a bright idea. "Hey! I'll be back in a minute!" she called to the others. She ran out of the room, dodging bullets and ran down the hallway back toward the way she and Mirai had come in. She stopped at the supply closet that she had noticed. She opened the door and looked over the supplies.
Finally, after a few moments, she picked up a stick of dynamite, a roll of fuse and two two-gallon containers of gasoline. Lugging those behind her, she made her way back to the lab.
When she entered the room, Zar's jaw dropped when he saw the dynamite. "What're we gonna do with that?"
"Blow up the lab," Rogue answered as she began drenching everything in gasoline. "You see, almost all the equipment here has info on Piccolo so I'm thinking that if we just smash the computers, they might be able to retrieve some of the data. But, if we just blow it all to hell, they won't be able to get anything."
"She's right!" S'rac hefted the other can of gasoline. He helped Rogue to make sure just about everything had a little bit of gasoline on it.
"Okay. I'll set the fuse." J'dee grabbed the roll, handed the end to Zar, and then went back out to the hallway so she could make sure the fuse was nice and long.
"Have you realized that people might get hurt when we do this?" Zar asked Rogue.
"Don't let it get to you! They consorted with this guy so that makes them evil! Got that? Evil! Pure and unadulterated evil!" Rogue answered.
The chibi nodded, "Evil. Okay. Evil, evil, evil…" he kept chanting as he put the fuse into the dynamite.
"Brainwashing him, are we?" S'rac whispered to her.
"Well, things like this aren't half as fun if your conscience is getting in the way."
"Yeah, I agree completely." They finished with the gasoline and Rogue helped Zar placed the dynamite in a strategic location that was nearly guaranteed to set the whole place on fire.
"Okay! Let's go get the chibis and then set the fuse off!" Rogue grinned and she and S'rac grabbed Piccolo and between them, they managed to get the large Namek into the hallway.
"Kami! This guy weighs a lot!" S'rac gasped, leaning against a wall.
"Shit! He needs a diet!" Rogue dropped the Namek to the ground.
"Hi everyone!" Goten and Chibi Trunks bounced down the hallway, throwing wires around like party streamers. Mirai Trunks followed them at a more reserved pace.
"I think we got them all!" Chibi Trunks grinned.
"Yeah! You should've seen us going at it! It was awesome! I was like bam bam! And then Trunks would pick up one and throw it into the others and then he'd blast them and-"
"That's wonderful Goten," Rogue him off, "and I'd really like to hear more but we have to go now! The real security people might come soon!" Rogue pushed the chibis ahead and turned back to Piccolo.
"I'll get him!" Mirai volunteered and picked up the unconscious Namek.
"Yeah, well that ain't getting you back into my god graces, brat! Just watch your back!" Rogue growled. Mirai paled slightly and then hurriedly ran after the chibis. J'dee, S'rac and Rogue followed behind them at a slightly slower pace.
When they reached the chibis waiting at the beginning of the fuse, Rogue quickly lit it. "This is where my motto comes in handy, guys!" Rogue yelled as they all took off at breakneck speed down the tunnel, "'Do unto others and then run like hell!'" The group bursting out of the door and into the sunlight and a rumbling, blasting noise echoing down the hallway behind them, punctuated Rogue's last word. They looked back and could dimly see a reddish glow coming down the hallway.
"Well, I think McConnell got what he deserved!" Rogue said with an evil grin.
Zar chuckled maliciously. "Absolutely."
"Let's go!" Rogue said and brought the rest of the group to the car. With the chibis sitting on people's laps and Piccolo stuffed into the back trunk, they were able to fit in.
"Oh yeah. One last thing," Rogue said as she whipped out of the zoo's parking lot amid flashing lights of amblances and police cars, "We don't know what happened here today. Right everyone?"
The group all chorused together in a collective "yes".

Vegeta: *the Vein protrudes from his forehead* I. Do. Not. Scream. Like. A. Girl.
Jeril: Fine, fine. You scream like a guy with his balls in a vise.
Kakarot: *winces* Ouch… that would hurt.
Vegeta: DIE IKEIKE! *grabs Jeril and throws her into a nearby dumpster*
