Ok PJ, does this make you happy? I have updated! Sorry it's taken so long
but I've been away and it takes time to right great fiction. Anyway, the
next installment. I'm not going to be able to post as often. Tests, exams,
leveling assignments, everything that makes school hard at the end of
semester. Enjoy the chapter!
Katt: Yo, Yo, Yo
Gohan: what are you now? a rapper?
Katt: Sorta. Linkin Park rock! (I don't own them either)
Videl: yeah true. Now the disclaimer.
Katt: I own absolutely nothing. (Actually I own quite a few things, but DBZ isn't one of them.)
Videl: And thanks to all the people who reviewed!

Katt: Wow, lots of reviews! On with the show!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
Last time:
"Oh no! Gohan.I mean Bardock stop! I never wanted you to do this!" Dende cried. (If you're wondering, he's run out of caffeine and is on withdrawal.)
"Well that's what you get for torturing him!" Piccolo said, annoyed.
"I didn't torture him! I just.made certain events in his life.unpleasant."
"I don't care, now he's going to kill Vegeta! What do you think Bulma will say?"
"Oh no! Bulma! I have to stop him!" Dende cried, grabbing his coat. He jumped off the lookout and began flying to the place of Gohan's Scout Camp!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
Chapter 7: Oooh, Flying Guardians!
Bardock tensed and frowned as he and Vegeta began to power up. He was a little shocked that Vegeta could do Super Sayan 2, but it was all that could be expected from someone training for 7 years. Gohan knew that he was stronger though. He didn't know why, but he knew.
They flew at each other, faster than the normal eye can see. Staring at each other intently.
"I don't want this to take long. We'll give it our all from the start, agreed?" Vegeta smirked.
"Agreed." Bardock replied.
And they flew at each other. Bardock dealt the first blow. A kick to Vegeta's head. Vegeta, of course, saw this coming and ducked. He swooped in for a punch into Bardock's stomach. It didn't have much effect. Bardock smirked and flew behind Vegeta who, in turn, flew behind Bardock. They played this game of leapfrog for a while before facing each other.
"I thought we decided to forgo the warm up." Bardock said, grinning.
"Yes well, we've never done that before have we?" Vegeta powered up and charged towards Bardock. Bardock did the same.
Then the ground erupted with the sheer power of the battle. Stones flew in all directions, barely missing students. Bardock and Vegeta landed blow after blow, block after block. Vegeta swung round underneath Bardock and kicked him in the stomach. Bardock flinched a little, but recovered quickly and elbowed Vegeta on the head. Vegeta began to fall to the ground, but caught himself before he landed. He started flying back towards Bardock. And the fighting started again.
Meanwhile, a certain fan fic writer remembered that this was supposed to be a humour fic.
~*~
Dende flew towards the camp, faster than he had ever flown before. He cleared the trees and mountains as if they were mere ants on the ground. Then he went to a boulder and began to throw up. It's not a good idea to fly quickly after you've just drunk raspberry coke, or any soft drink for that matter! After he had rid himself of everything, he flew off again.
"Why are there always carrots? I haven't had carrots for 3 days!" He mumbled.
(Actually, the reason there are always carrots is because carrots have a lot of starch, which makes them hard to digest. They stay in your body for days on end! Anyway, enough of making you sick.)
He reached the clearing where Vegeta and Bardock were fighting. He stayed at the sidelines for a second, before charging in. I don't know why he charged in, neither does he. Probably 'cause he was on caffeine withdrawal. : P
At that point, Bardock noticed the energy fleeting towards them. Now, unlike Vegeta, Bardock has a human side and this human side was trying to take control. Gohan didn't want to hurt Dende, not yet anyway. He turned and tried to get Dende out of the way. This was a perfect opportunity for Vegeta to strike. He aimed a perfect kick to Bardock's unsuspecting stomach, and then elbowed him in the head, causing him to plummet to the ground.
Vegeta slowly descended to the ground and checked how well he did. Bardock was knocked out, with quite a few scratches and bruises as well. Krillin saw that the fighting was over and walked back to the clearing, coloured Afro still in place. (He had managed to wipe the paint off though) He sensed the other kids hiding behind a rock so he called out to them.
"Hey guys, it's alright. They've stopped fighting."
The 4 scared children crept out from behind the rock and slowly moved toward the clearing. When she saw the state of Gohan, Katt ran forward to him.
"What have you done to him you pig?" She demanded Vegeta.
"He let his guard down. It was a spar so I attacked."
"THAT'S NO EXCUSE!"
"What's it to you anyway? He hasn't chosen you as a mate!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Vegeta just smirked and watched her. 'Puny humans.' he thought. 'All this emotion. She isn't even his mate.' Dende managed to push through the crowding teens and made his way to Gohan. Vegeta was holding him like a child. (He considers it not honourable to be held like that, remember?)
"Stand back! Let me through!" He said. He went to Gohan and used his healing powers to revive him. It took a few moments but Gohan's black eyes opened. The first thing he saw was Dende.
"DENDE! HOW COULD YOU?"
"Um, hi Gohan."
"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? I HAVE ENOUGH IN MY LIFE WITHOU YOU TORTURING ME!!"
"But it was so much fun!"
"THAT'S IT!" Gohan got up and ran after Dende. He was a lot faster, so he caught up with him easily.
"I'm gonna teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" he whispered to the frightened Namek.
Gohan began to swing Dende around by his feet. Faster and faster and faster he went. Then finally, when he had enough momentum, he let go and watched as Dende flew off into a hill. Then straight through the hill! He landed on the other side, cut and bruised. He felt dead to the world, but managed to heal himself. (Could he do that?) Then he took one look at Gohan and flew off back to the lookout.
"Um, who was that?" Venus asked.
"Oh that was Dende."
"Who's Dende?" Jade questioned.
"Foolish humans. Dende is the Guardian of the Earth! You know, the Kami!" Vegeta smirked.
All the teens looked shocked. Gohan had just beaten up Kami! How could he possibly do that and get away with it? It was too bazaar to be true! They all slowly walked back to camp, no one talking, but Katt and Venus signing things to each other now and then.
But the silence didn't stay long. A piercing scream filled the air.
"GOHAN!!!!!"
*~*Flashback*~*
"So how did you first meet Gohan?" Videl asked Lime sneakily.
"Well it was around the time of the Cell Games." she replied. "I fell into this river and he rescued me!"
"Wow, he sure is a hero!" Videl said, disbelieving. How could nerd-boy Gohan be such a hero? But then, he DID know Yamcha, and Bulma.
"Yeah, I missed him so much when he left."
"Um, Lime? Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Shoot!"
"How come you didn't recognise Gohan when you first saw him? He couldn't have changed that much."
"That's the thing. He HAS. He never had that scar above his eyebrow before. And his hair and eyes were different."
"How do you mean?"
"Well his hair was blonde. Sometimes it would glow! And his eyes were turquoise!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. Weird hey?"
"Notice anything unusual about him?"
"Well he did destroy.Nah, you don't want to know."
"Go on, tell me!"
"Ok, I will. He destroyed a shelter with his bare hands!"
"Oh did he?"
"Yeah! He shot this light out of his palm. It was so cool!"
"I think him and I need to have a little chat. GOHAN!!!"
*~*End Flashback*~*
"Oh no!" Gohan cried. Videl was standing right next to Lime, and she WASN'T happy! He began to run over as fast as he could. (No one actually saw this; they were too busy being shocked.) And although she expected nothing less, Videl was shocked when Gohan appeared almost as soon as she had finished speaking. Err, shouting.
"Um, Gohan! That was fast." he shock soon subsided. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU DESTROYED THE SHELTER?!?!?!"
"LIME!" he cried.
"Hmph. I bet you were never going to tell you were the gold fighter either."
He looked at her with a quizzical expression. "What do you." she pointed to Lime. "Oh, right. DAMN YOU!!!"
"Hey Gohan, don't be mean! How was I to know you didn't want her told?"
"I guess."
There talking was broken off by a loud shout.
"OK EVERYONE! THERE IS A SURPRISE FOR YOU ALL, AS IT IS THE LAST DAY. PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THE MAIN TENT AREA!"
Of course, that voice belonged to Hercule. No one knows how, but he managed to find a megaphone. (Can't you just feel all the sayans wincing?) Regardless, they all headed for the grassed area. When everyone was there, Hercule told them all to line up. Our little group of 'heroes' stood together of course.
"Ok kids, since this is the last day (apart from packing and going home) we have a treat for you all. We will be having a martial arts tournament!"
Everyone cheered. All except Gohan that is.
"WHAT! He can't be here! Don't people care about the safety of girls these days?"
"What do you mean Gohan?" Katt asked, latching onto his arm again. She felt Videl's eyes burning into her skull.
"Oh nothing Kitty. Don't worry about it."
"Ok then." She smiled at him.
"And now, the one judging the tournament, the one and only, MASTER ROSHI!"
A few people fainted, Sharpener included. Others just gawked. One groaned loudly and mumbled,
"Doesn't anyone care about anyone anymore?" Hercule went on.
"If you wish to compete in this grand event, please contribute your names now!"
"Hey Gohan, are you competing?" Katt asked
"Uh, no I don't think I will."
"Oh yes you will." Gohan turned to see Videl. "After what I just found out, im going to MAKE you compete!"
"Uh, Videl, I."
"You will compete, or I'll tell your precious 'Kitty' everything I found out today."
"You wouldn't!"
"Watch me."
"Ok, ok. I'll compete."
"I knew you'd see to reason."
M Trunks sat listening to all that was going on with Pan on his lap. He smiled. This was going to be fun. He hadn't fought with Gohan in a while, and with his sayan out he could have some fun! Pan squirmed a little on his lap. He looked at her.
"What's up Panny?"
"Can I PLEASE compete sensei? I'll try really hard and not get hurt!"
"I don't think that's a good idea Pan. Vegeta will be competing and you're not strong enough to face him."
"But I wanna fight!"
"Not today. Maybe when we get back, you can fight a little ok?"
"Ok." Pan sighed and watched the fighters sign up and get positioned in the contest.
~*~
I can't be bothered writing the entire tournament so I'll summarise.
The first round of fighting started. Sharpener against a jock named Brad. Sharpener won. Then it was Katt against another jock named Chris. Katt won. Yada, yada, yada, they fought a lot. Finally Katt faces Videl. They look at each other for a second before fighting. Staring, once again, wouldn't solve this dispute. They both took up fighting stances and waited for the bell to ring, signalling the fight.
"Ding" went the bell, and the two were off in a shot. A kick here, a punch there, a block for both. It seemed the two were evenly matched. After a few minutes, the two broke apart and stared at each ther again, both panting heavily. Videl wiped some sweat off her forehead, while Katt wiped a trace of blood from her lips. (You know how it ALWAYS is in DBZ)
"I see you're not as weak as I first thought." Videl sneered.
"I could say the same for you."
"Hmm. I think I'm going to have to end this now."
"Don't count on it."
Vegeta, M Trunks and Gohan watched the two girls with interest. Neither was strong enough to beat them but they exceptionally strong for humans. It seemed like they were fighting for more than just a title. It was like they were trying to take possession of something. Gohan had a strange feeling he knew what it was.
"These two are almost evenly matched. I can't wait to see the victor. I will, of course, crush her." Vegeta sneered.
"Yeah sure Dad, if you face them." M Trunks replied.
"Listen to those two bicker. You'd think they were enemies!" Vegeta laughed.
"Yeah true." Gohan said dismissively. He listened to what they were saying.
" "You might win, but I'll still get Gohan."" -Katt " "What makes you think I want Gohan?"" -Videl " "It's obvious you like him."" -Katt " "I don't care what you think. Stay away and mind your own business."" -Videl
Vegeta heard this and laughed. "It seems you're mate doesn't like competition."
"VEGETA! She's not my mate!"
"Your sayan side thinks so."
Gohan's tail began to twitch angrily. "Would you please stop it? It's getting aggravating."
Vegeta smirked. He wanted to fight Gohan's sayan side! "Sure thing. You're weak anyway."
"What.did.you.say?"
"I said you were weak!"
Gohan's ki flared. Meanwhile, Videl knocked Katt out of the ring.
"YES! I TOLD YOU I'D WIN!"
"Fluke! I demand a rematch!"
Master Roshi stepped in. "Sorry girls. Videl wins."
"YES!"
"DAMN!!"
"And now would the remaining contestants step forward and draw a number. That will decide who faces who."
The final four contestants entering the semi-finals are: M Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan and Videl.
