"I just came to find out what everyone was doing in here," Vegeta answered, casting his eye over the room.
"Oh… damn…" I muttered.
"What're we having for dinner, ikeike?" he asked.
"Yeah! I'm hungry!" Goten piped up.
"Me too!" Chibi Trunks chimed in.
"I don't know!" I shrugged.
"We should order takeout!" S'rac suggested.
"How many people do we have to feed?" J'dee asked.
"Ummmm…" I mentally counted, "We have two Saiyans, three demi-Saiyans, eight humans, and one Namek."
"Wow…" S'rac's eyes widened.
"That'd be one helluva bill for takeout…" J'dee muttered.
"Where's everyone gonna sleep tonight? How're we gonna feed them all? I've nearly run out of money!" I groaned. I put my face in my hands, "This has not been my week…"
"We could all chip in a bit," J'dee offered.
"Yeah! I have…" S'rac empty out his pockets, "Ummm…" he counted his change and laughed nervously, "Three dollars and fifteen cents?"
J'dee looked in her wallet, "I have twenty-one dollars."
"I've got nineteen bucks and some odd change left but I'm sure Bana and Rogue will have some money too."
"We could have a combo of takeout and home cooked food tonight," S'rac smiled.
"Why thanks for offering to cook tonight!" I grinned at S'rac, "You're so sweet!" I quickly exited the room before he could say otherwise.
S'rac face fell, "But I don't know how to cook… shit…"
"I'll help," J'dee offered, "though my cooking skills aren't the best either."
"We should be able to whip up a half-edible substance between us."
"Humans…" Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Power up Kakarot!" Bana ordered.
"Why?" Goku asked.
"Because I told you to!"
"But-"
"Do it! NOW!" Bana barked and waved her ever-ready frying pan threateningly. Goku backed up a step and nodded vigorously.
"And try to make it a bit more showy then usual!" Rogue added, cracking her whip at the natives with a little bit of an evil chuckle.
"Hai!" Goku scrambled away to put a little distance between him and the girls and then stopped, and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, threw his head back and let loose a scream that echoed across the grassland with a deafening finality.
The natives' chanting grew louder and they watched with wide eyes as the rocks around Goku began to lift from the ground. A few screamed slightly as little lightning bolts crackled around Goku, whipping around him and dancing over his hair. The chanting stopped all together when Goku's hair and eyes began flickering to gold and green.
Finally, the flickering stopped and his hair grew out to reach his kneecaps and his eyebrows disappeared as the Saiyan ascended to Super Saiyan 3. Goku grinned at the natives a bloodthirsty expression and aimed a ki blast at a nearby tree. A few seconds later and after the smoke cleared, the tree was no longer there. The only evidence present that it had ever been there was a few leaves and splinters of wood that came falling to the ground.
The natives began their chant again with a sense of urgency. One crawled forward to try to touch Goku's foot but he kicked the hunter away. Goku smirked and for a few moments looked like he did when Kakarot had resurfaced.
Bana and Rogue grinned and sauntered over to stand next to Goku on either side of him. Rogue put her hand on his right shoulder and Bana draped her arm over his other. "Go back to the house," Rogue ordered the Saiyan.
"Yeah. We've learned all we need to know," Bana grinned devilishly.
Goku shrugged and put his fingers to his forehead, "Okay." They disappeared, leaving the natives behind very awed and bewildered.
Bana and Rogue staggered as they appeared back in Bouke's house. Goku's technique was a little disorienting the first few times. "Where're the twins?" Rogue asked, looking around.
"I dunno. They were here a few minutes ago…" Bana muttered.
"They were tied back-to-back! Where could they have gone? There's no rope anywhere…" Rogue scratched her head. Bana nodded and picked up a banana she had left behind and ate it thoughtfully.
"Can I have one?" Goku asked.
Bana growled, "Not in this lifetime, baka."
"Darn…" his stomach grumbled loudly, "I'm starving though!"
"If you can find the twins, we'll make you an entire six-foot sub for yourself," Rogue promised.
"Really?" Goku went starry-eyed, "With turkey, ham, salami, bacon, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, tomatoes, green peppers, dill pickles, olives and sprouts?"
Bana grimaced, "All of that?"
"Hai!" Goku grinned widely.
"Nasty, but we'll do it! Just find the girls!" Rogue agreed.
"They're right in there!" Goku pointed to a broom closet.
"Really?" Bana opened it and the two tied up girls fell out, "Yup! There they are!"
"Yes!" Rogue grabbed one of the girls' arms and heaved them up. She dragged them over to where Goku stood and touched his arm. Bana grasped the other. "Take us back Kakarot!"
"Okay!" Once more, Goku put his fingers to his head and they disappeared only to reappear on the African savannah. The natives they had appeared in the midst of jumped back while gibbering wildly in their language.
"We come bearing gifts!" Rogue smiled wildly and pushed the twins forward.
"What?!" Angel screamed.
"No fucking way!" Alice howled.
Bana stuck out her tongue, "That's what you get for trying to mess with the Ouji's son!"
"You two aren't worthy of the Saiyans," Rogue smiled evilly.
"But you can't leave us here with these, these… savages!" Alice screamed as one of the men began to pet her hair.
"Well, that's why you think before you act!" Bana grinned cheerfully.
"Let's head back to the house!" Rogue said to Goku.
"But… won't Bouke be slightly pissed about-" Bana and Rogue fixed two identical, extremely threatening glares on him. He made a squeaking noise and nodded furiously, "We're going, we're going!"
"That's a good boy!" Bana smiled sweetly as they disappeared from the hot African continent.
"I'm gonna feel horrible about this for a while…" Goku muttered to himself as he sat down on the couch.
"Don't! They deserved it!" Rogue reminded him.
"You promised me a six-foot sub!" Goku reminded them, hoping food would take his mind off what he had just done.
"All right, all right." The two girls went into the kitchen and set to work making the large, Saiyan-sized snack.
