CHAPTER 15
A/N: A bit gruesome (rated R), don't eat a Cup O' Noodles while reading this!… Mmm, Cup O' Noodles… *drools on keyboard*
"Gohan looks like monkey that smells like a bunch of bananas rotting in the Sahara Desert!" Deshee squealed as she read the sentence Gohan had written.
"Pretty good but don't forget 'a' infront of 'monkey,' but otherwise a pretty good try for a complex sentence.
"Now I'm going to read the sentence back to you, listen to it and write it down…"
Since Gohan had gotten back from school he and Deshee had been practicing English to aid in the half Janjin-kee's speech and ability to read and write.
************************************************************************
"A-Ally?!?" Piccolo stammered as he watched Tetsi remove his moccasins, what he saw made his jaw drop.
"You tell anyone about that or my ability to speak English and I'll torture you in ways unspeakable!"
"What's the shame in what you've just shown me?" the demon was determined to get another leg-up on his new "ally" since it could prove to be of some use to him in the line of battle.
"Because I am not a slave! I am Royal as long as you shut up around my people!"
"So," Piccolo erked a brow ridge, "How can I be sure you really are an ally?"
Tetsi drew an emerald-studded necklace from a small pouch on his hip and handed it to the demon.
"It's a life force necklace… my life, my soul, is trapped within those stones… you smash that and I'll die instantly. It's how the Royals keep guards loyal, scare you shitless and you won't be fit to cause trouble… there's my loyalty to you."
"Why are you here to help anyway?"
"Most of the reason is my own damn business but I can tell you that I know who took Tesh-Deshee away from Janjinsei… His name is Metshius, the worshipped god of the Royals. It was obvious to the sharp eye that he had a lust for Deshee's mother and when she was killed he set his sights on the young one. I suspect this 'god' is mortal, a bastard like his predecessor who fooled the Royals to get power, and I want to know for sure… That's part of why I'm here… the other part is none of your concern!
"Now, I can smell his presence, he's close, and he wants Deshee…"
************************************************************************
"Monkey monkey monkey! Monkey monkey monkey!" Deshee and Goten chanted as they pin-wheeled around Gohan.
"Oie!" he chuckled, "It was just a sentence! I'm not really a monkey!"
Goten sniffed his older brother, "You sure smell like one!"
The little Janjin-kee skipped to the bathroom, in need of relieving herself. Chichi had just taken a shower so billows of steam filled the private cubicle. Wiping steam off of the mirror Deshee screamed at the reflection behind her: two piercing eyes, one sealed shut with dry blood.
'Run!' her mind screamed.
************************************************************************
"He's vicious! He ordered Shira's death when she refused him the night before she fucked the Royal King… He murdered her while they were in the act and devoured her flesh before his majesty; the King hasn't been the same since. Rumor has it he pissed his sheets he was scared so bad. Can you see how much control this guy has?" Tetsi's eyes flashed.
************************************************************************
Claws sank into the wolf-girl's tender skin as her arms tried to fight him off.
Gohan and Goten heard a glass vase shatter and ran toward the bathroom where they found Deshee sadly attempting to ward off a huge, beastly man with onyx flesh, a black wolfish snout, and claws.
"Time to die…" its voice rumbled and he threw a bloody lump at the trio.
It was Chichi…
************************************************************************
Tetsi's ears flinched,
"He's found her! Let's go now!" both warriors lifted off into the air with a sense of urgency.
************************************************************************
Gohan fell to his knees beside his mother, trembling at the sight of her blood-shot eyes. One of her arms was chewed off, leaving a messy stump.
"Mama!" Goten was white as a ghost and retched on the monster's clawed feet.
"Damn little shit!"
A growl escaped the beast as his senses picked up on Piccolo. Tetsi was insensible. Turning to Deshee the evil man smiled, "Ah, she wasn't as tasty as your mother!" and he crashed through the roof and flew away, masking his ki signature.
************************************************************************
Piccolo and Tetsi smashed through the open door and followed Goten's cries to the shocked threesome.
"Oh, Piccolo!" Deshee burst into tears as she threw herself against his chest. Immediately his arms wrapped around her as she rested against him. Then she noticed Tetsi…
"Tetsi! Nou wai jobi!?!" ("Tetsi! What are you doing here!?!")
"Shintou nasi waisu, Metshius, nasu haiya te menishiwa! Denesu?" ("I smell the Royal god, Metshius, within this room! Was he here?")
"Hai no wa tensi kai? Chichi nasuwa!" ("That beast was a god? He hurt Chichi!") tears fell quickly as she shook with fear, "Beeshee na wasi kai!!!" ("He killed my Mommy!!!")
"Hai tou; haiya no hai tie." ("I know; all the Royals know.")
"Keri shi wa no deshetu?!?" ("And no one would tell me this?!?")
"I'm sorry, Deshee, but you were still a slave…"
The girl's hand shot to her mouth in shock as Tetsi spoke clear English to her for the first time in her life.
************************************************************************
Itsee and the other guards Tetsi had left behind grew anxious, they had seen their leader fly off with the green enemy, and soon decided to follow his scent.
One guard roughly threw Itsee over his shoulder and took off with the rest.
************************************************************************
Tetsi told Deshee of his suspicions of the Royal god and how her mother was murdered. The guard was truly concerned for the girl's safety and confided to her that he had surrendered his life force necklace to Piccolo's mercy as a sign of loyalty. Removing his moccasins, Tetsi revealed the same shocking sight that he had shown to Piccolo moments ago.
*************************************************
A few wooden bits of the shattered Son house door crashed to the floor as Itsee and the guards barged in; all of whom noticed Tetsi's feet.
"Haiwanu!" ("Traitor!") a guard yelped.
Itsee could barely hide his smile as he gawked at Tetsi's feet; toes, nails, ankles, heels, all Lunarian. He was only a part Janjin-kee! He was a slave!
The guards ripped their shoes off and threw them at Tetsi's face; only paws graced the floor. Hauling Itsee out the door the guards spat on the wooden floor.
"Watsi noua haiya da hatu! Chikuusei no deja! Ain veta!" ("The Royal King will hear of this! War be upon Earth! Death to you!")
Outside Itsee screamed, "Bless the guard slave, Tetsi! He will save us! For the love of Lord Raye-don!"
"Oh shit!" the exposed guard cried out, "Now I'll never uncover the truth about Metshius!"
Piccolo walked over to the defeated Janjin-kee, "You can still find out… we'll help you."
"And who will believe me?! They'll kill me before I can say anything!"
Goten threw in his two cents, "Well hide you! Maybe… under my bed?"
"They'll smell me out! This is hopeless…"
"I don't think so…" a blast of cold air burst through the doorway as a tall figure entered the frantic household.
Silver hair cascaded down from a casa on the head of this new intruder, grazing his robed shoulders. Layers of gray, white, and beige flowed to his bare feet, hanging in hoops around his long, gnarly hands that clutched a wooden cane.
(A/N: Think Lord Raydon from Mortal Kombat… Any credit for similarities between these two goes straight to the creators of MK… I just love Lordy Raydon so much! He's a cool god with a cool voice! =) The second movie sucked cuz they got rid of the original actor for LR!!! *Chews up a pencil in anger* "Your shoooul ish miiiiiine!" Sorry, just making fun of Shang Tsung!)
"The god of the slaves…" Deshee whispered, "L-Lord Raye-don…"
************************************************************************
After much gawking and stammering Lord Raye-don settled himself into a chair facing Piccolo, Deshee, Tetsi, Gohan, and Goten.
"So you really exist…" Tetsi was awestruck, "The Royals merely believed you to be a rumor, a false hope for the slaves. Like the Moses who'd never come; a myth!"
"And you, Tetsi, you believed in me too, didn't you?"
"Yes…"
"It was by my powers that I caused the deaths of the delivery nurses and your half Janjin-kee mother and pure-blooded father so that no one would view your traitorous feet as I wrapped them in the traditional guard shoes. Good thing it is considered disrespect on Janjinsei for guards to flash their feet, eh?
"But I had plans in that you would help your people in the future, the slave race."
Tetsi bowed his head respectfully.
"And now such a day has come."
"What about the bad god?" Deshee trembled at the thought of his long, black snout. She nervously rubbed her arms and smeared blood on her paws. "Eeeww!"
Lord Raye-don narrowed his silver eyes and with a flicker of his mysterious orbs, Deshee's wounds were healed.
"Woow… T-Thank you…"
Goten jumped into the god's lap, clinging to him like a barnacle, "Can you heal my mother, Mister? She'd not breathing anymore! Please! Please, Mister?!"
Lord Raye-don closed his eyes, humming softly, "I'm sorry," his eyes opened, "Her soul has passed on to the other realm… I cannot interfere with Lord Enma's control over life and death… This is not my world."
Goten slowly released the god's cloak, jumping off his lap in a fit of tears. Storming upstairs he was quickly followed by Gohan.
"Please," the god's voice cracked, "Please prepare for the worst… I will go after Metshius… You all ready yourselves for war… the Janjin-kee army will be here and armed in ten days, from what my senses tell me…"
Tetsi moaned.
"This is no time to point fingers or for anyone to carry full blame, work together or you will all die together…" and with that said Lord Raye- don disappeared.
