Chapter 6
*********
After everything had clamed down, Trunks and Gohan were going to fight. To begin, Trunks did the hand motions for a Burning attack. Just as the light flashed, Gohan threw a Masenko Ha at Trunks. Easily moving out of the way, Trunks dodged it and then did a ki blast. Gohan grunted, as it narrowly missed him. They began fighting like crazy. The longer the combat went on, the faster the two got. Punch after punch, blow after blow. They were both so skilled, that very few punches actually got through and did some damage. Finally, after about a half an hour, Gohan seemed to be very drained of energy. He began moving slower and starting getting hit more often. As soon as Trunks noticed this, he immediately stopped, and said that it should be a draw. They both were exhausted, so they agreed to quit.
Just as Trunks and Gohan walked over to where the three girls were standing, Yamcha came out with Tien, who was now conscious.
"Hey! You did great!" Nicole congratulated. "You too Gohan!"
"Yeah! You guys were awesome!" Angelica chimed in.
"You did a great job of whippin' Tien's booty, Yamcha!" Leah said happily.
"Thanks babe!" Yamcha replied. Suddenly, Leah swooned. As she fell to the ground, about to crack her head open on the rough cement below, Yamcha grabbed her.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YOU KILLED LEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chiaotzu screeched. Noticing the Yamcha had saved Leah, he quickly said, "Oopsie daisies…"
"Was it something I said?" Yamcha asked.
"Oh… heh heh heh… no…" Leah replied as she regained her balance.
"So… who's gonna battle who now?" Angelica asked.
"Um… well since Trunks and I had a draw… I guess one of us will battle Yamcha." Gohan said.
"Which one of you?" Leah asked excitedly.
"Uh… you can." Gohan said, looking at Trunks.
"You sure?" Trunks asked.
"Yeah. I'll fight with Piccolo." Gohan replied.
"Alright." Trunks said, as he followed Yamcha into the middle of the yard.
"Ok Trunks… BRING IT ON!!!!!!" Yamcha screamed.
"You go, Yamcha!" Leah yelled from the porch.
"You're in for it!" Trunks responded.
"Whip him good Trunks! Whip him good!" Nicole cheered. The battle began. Yamcha aimed a Spirit Bomb attack at Trunks' face, but dodging it, he powered up to Super Saiyan and threw a Burning attack at him. "UGH! TAKE THAT!" Yamcha yelled as he struck Trunks with a forceful punch. "Right back at ya!" Trunks said back, as he jabbed his knee into Yamcha's stomach.
Within the next few minutes, the spar too to the sky. "KAAAAAA MEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA MEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA!!!!!" Trunks screamed, as a huge blast of blue light shot from his hands. There were a few seconds of silence, as the brilliant pale light from Trunks' Kamehameha Wave filled the sky. Suddenly, without any warning, the light vanished. Yamcha had dodged the blast, as well as thrown it into space! "Oh wow! Yamcha's really gettin' good!" Gohan said as he and the others watched in shock.
"I didn't know he was that strong…" Angelica said.
"Don't give out now, Yamcha! You're doing great!" Leah cheered. After some more punches, kicks, and blasts, the duel returned back to the ground. However, the two were moving faster than ever. Nicole, Leah, and Angelica could hardly keep up!
Meanwhile, Trunks did a Masenko Ha at Yamcha, which didn't do much. Yamcha began to get in some destructive hits, while Trunks tried his best to defend himself. Then, with an incredibly powerful thrust, Trunks jammed his fist into Yamcha's chest. Knocking the wind out of him, Trunks backed off, let him regain his energy. With that, the battle started again. Yamcha launched a Spirit Bomb attack at Trunks, but he did an Energy Shield to block it. Using the Zanzoken technique that Trunks had recently learned, he managed to confuse Yamcha, while he took time to catch his breath. Yamcha then quickly released a ki blast, carefully aiming it straight for Trunks. Narrowly missing it, Trunks rapidly shot out several ki blasts of his own to even out the score. "I'm going to end this now!" Yamcha yelled, as he let out another Spirit Bomb. Finally, Trunks did a forceful Burning attack, leaving Yamcha confused once more. Then, with an intense strike direct to the head, Trunks knocked him down into the ground.
"No!!!" Leah cried, as she ran over to Yamcha, who was slowly getting up.
"I'm ok…" he choked out, as Leah helped him stand up straight.
"Wow Yamcha! You wouldn't have lasted that long against Trunks or any Super Saiyan before now! That battle was incredible!" Gohan said, as Leah helped Yamcha over to the porch.
"I guess all that training really paid off…" Yamcha said, pleased with himself.
"You did great!" Trunks complimented.
"Yeah!" Nicole and Angelica agreed.
Just then, Vegeta flew down from overhead. "Hey! You're back!" Bulma said happily, coming out from Capsule Corp. once again.
"Great…" Tien murmured.
"What was that Tien?" Vegeta asked annoyed, as he landed on the ground. Tien didn't answer. "Where did you go?" Bulma asked.
"To find Jukuo." Vegeta answered. Everyone's eyes bulged. "To WHAT?!?!" Bulma asked.
"I was looking for the last Dragon Ball! Since that idiot and his girlfriend were too scared to go get it from Jukuo, someone who was brave enough had to instead." Vegeta explained.
"Did you get it?" Trunks asked.
"Well… uh… um… ya see… I… um… couldn't find him! Yeah, that's it… I couldn't find him." Vegeta said nervously.
"Well… why the heck are you beaten to a bloody pulp?" Bulma asked. It was so obvious that he was lying. "I… uh… um… got hit by a speeding bus on my way back!" Vegeta said.
"Was it a… flying bus?" Trunks asked, knowing that Vegeta would have flown, so a bus couldn't have hit him.
"Uh… well… ya see… I walked." He answered.
"YOU WALKED TO FIND JUKUO?!?!" Chiaotzu asked beginning to laugh.
"I… just… didn't want him to sense me coming!" Vegeta said.
"HA HA HA! YOU'RE AFRAID OF JUKUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chiaotzu screamed, as he fell to the ground with laughter.
"ARG… SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled, as he darted toward Chiaotzu and punched him several times.
"See Bulma! Vegeta cussed and you didn't yell at him…" Yamcha whined.
"He lives here! Besides! Chiaotzu was being stupid!" Bulma answered.
"HEY! Don't call Chiaotzu stupid!" Tien said.
"OH SHUT UP! HE IS STUPID AND YOU KNOW IT!" Yamcha yelled. By now, Vegeta had practically killed Chiaotzu, until Tien ran over to save him. After quickly grabbing him, the two ran inside Capsule Corp., and into a corner to cry.
After Tien and Chiaotzu had come back outside, and everything had calmed down again, Bulma made Vegeta and Yamcha apologize to Chiaotzu for being so mean. "Wow Chiaotzu… I'm REALLY sorry…" Yamcha said sarcastically.
"Yeah… me too…" Vegeta added.
"It's ok! I forgive you!" Chiaotzu grinned stupidly. He was so dense, that he couldn't even tell Yamcha and Vegeta weren't really sorry. Chiaotzu then grabbed both of them, and hugged them incredibly tightly. "UGH! LET GO OF ME YOU… YOU… YOU FAGGOT!!!!!!" Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs.
"LET GO!!!!!!!!" Yamcha cried.
"Ohhhhhh! I just love you guys so much!" Chiaotzu said, squeezing them even harder. After a few seconds, Chiaotzu finally let go. "Ugh…" Vegeta grunted as he sat down to catch his breath. Yamcha sat down too, to recover from almost having the life squished out of him. "Is Chiaotzu always like this?" Leah whispered into Yamcha's ear.
"Unfortunately… yes." He panted.
After watching a few more battles, it began to softly rain. Then, the sprinkle turned into a thick storm, with howling winds. Since everyone had gone inside, Piccolo had decided to turn on the television to see what the heck was going on. He flipped to the weather channel, only to discover some shocking news. "The light rain that was predicted earlier today, has now turned into a dangerous monsoon!" explained the announcer.
"What!? Monsoons only come in Asia!" Gohan said.
"Scientists now believe that the evil killing monster that's loose on the streets might have something to do with this very abnormal weather." The announcer continued. "We advise you not to leave your house, because of the critical conditions outside."
"Oh no! How are we gonna get home?" Leah asked worriedly.
"Don't worry! You can spend the night here! I'm sure it'll be ok with your parents since you'd be at a huge risk if you tried to go home." Bulma said.
"Could we? Really?" Angelica said excitedly.
"Sure!" Bulma answered. "You three could sleep down here, in the living room."
"Great! We'd better tell our parents though." Nicole said, walking over to the phone, to call her mom. She dialed the number, and her mom picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey!" Nicole said into the receiver.
"Oh hi Nicole! Are you alright?"
"Yeah, but it looks like Leah, Angelica and I won't be able to come home for a while… is it ok with you if we spend the night here?"
"Oh, of course! I wouldn't want you to try to drive home in these nasty conditions…"
"Great. Don't worry about us, ok?"
"Just be careful."
"Yep!" With that, Nicole gave her mom the phone number to Capsule Corp., and let Leah and Angelica call their parents.
After everything had been settled, Bulma went into the kitchen to make dinner. Nicole, Leah, Angelica, Trunks, Yamcha, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Vegeta, Tien, and Chiaotzu all sat around the TV, listening to the news broadcasting. "Are you sure we can't put the Teletubies on, Tien?" Chiaotzu whined.
"SHHH!!! We're watchin' the news here!" Tien answered. Just then, the doorbell rang. Trunks opened the door, only to find Bra. "Bra! Why did you come home? Didn't you hear the news? No one's supposed to leave their houses!" he said.
"I know but I left before it started raining!" Bra explained. Then, Bulma came rushing in. "Oh, Bra! Are you ok?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, I'm fine!" she answered.
"Where was she?" Angelica asked.
"Oh, Bra went to her friend's house." Bulma clarified.
"Oh…" Angelica answered, returning her attention back to the TV.
After Bra took off her drenched jacket, she went upstairs to change her soaked clothes. A while later, she returned and sat down on the side of the sofa. "So, is Jukuo causing all of this screwed up weather?" she asked
"Yeah… I don't have any idea how though…" Piccolo answered her.
"Wow… he must be really strong if he can do this…" Bra said. "Not any bad guy has ever done something like this before…"
"BULMA!!!!!!! CAN WE HAVE BEEF FOR DINNER!!!!????" Chiaotzu yelled loudly.
"No! Everyone's having chicken!" she replied.
"Oh… then can we have refried beans with it!?!?" Chiaotzu asked.
"NO!!!!" Bulma answered.
"FINE!!!! BE MEAN!!!" Chiaotzu answered sadly.
"It's ok little buddy…" Tien said, giving Chiaotzu a comforting hug.
