A/N: Have a Happy Christmas everyone! Gah, I'm starting to sound British!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z, but the wonderful snow goons are all mine to cuddle! *snow goon bites her hand* OW!
Chapter 5: The Unexpected Visitor
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FLAME THROWERS?"
Bulma looked sheepishly at Chi-Chi and mumbled, "They're a hazard. They can really harm someone if not used properly - "
"IS THAT SO? THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE A GUN IN YOUR HOUSE?" Chi-Chi roared as she leaned against the bolted, steel door, trying to keep the snow goons out.
"Self-protection!"
"YOU HAVE SAIYA-JINS!!"
"So?" Bulma swiped the hair out of her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Flame throwers cause millions of dollars of damage to property and my Trunks could get hurt if he used one! Saiya-jins aren't immune to fire you know!!"
"Did you ever think of the fact that you might need one if some CRAZED, SNOW MONSTER TRIED TO EAT YOU?" Chi-Chi added as the door budged a few inches.
"How do YOU know they want to eat us?!"
"What else would they do? Sing Christmas carols?" Chi-Chi shifted her weight slightly and pushed the door back a bit further. "And help me with this damn door! We can't keep them out forever!"
But Bulma wasn't looking at Chi-Chi. She was looking at the lower level of the door where a small hole was beginning to form. After following her eyes, Chi-Chi noticed this two.
"Chi-Chi…?"
"Yeah, Bulma…?"
"Do you think…that those things know how to use ki?"
"It certainly seems that way," Chi-Chi whispered. She leaped away from the door with a shriek as the hot metal dripped down the side. "Isn't that scientifically impossible?!"
"Most certainly yes! I don't understand how such unstable creatures can use ki without harming themselves! It's impossible!"
Bulma would've been right about that statement in any other normal situation and especially if Dende hadn't decided to play with the laws of science today.
The green god was slightly sobering up enough to realize that his snow goons weren't invincible and that Gohan was getting rid most of them. Thus, after making sure Piccolo was distracted with the Lookout suddenly being attacked by his own creations, Dende gave the snow goons new powers and a new mission: destroy Son Gohan! That usually would've have meant bad news for our hero, but as it turns at, snow goons have a short attention spans and Dende slurred his words too much during his commands
So now, the snow goons were attacking anyone who knew or had come into contact with Son Gohan in the last six months, including the drunken god himself.
Obviously, Dende had dug himself into a pretty good hole, but we're going to have to return to the current predicament.
Chi-Chi eyed the stacks of chemicals in the lab around them, pointed to them, and demanded, "Can't we use some of those so a chemical reaction would cause the damn things to melt?!"
"No! Most of those are radioactive! We don't want to make the things more dangerous than they are!" Bulma replied. "And I don't have an acid in this lab either!"
"So basically you have no good and useful weapons in your house?" Chi-Chi asked hotly. "Next year, we're having Christmas at my house, dammit!"
"That is if there is a next year!" Bulma replied fearfully.
With a loud and resounding BANG!, the melting door burst open and an army of snow goons filled the doorway, looking more menacing than ever. In unison they all smiled triumphantly at Chi-Chi and Bulma and charged into the room.
Both women screamed at the exact moment they felt someone grab onto their shoulders. Chi-Chi wiped her head around and briefly caught sight of the colors orange and blue before both she and Bulma vanished from the lab.
Things were even worse at Orange Star High than they had been at Capsule Corp. Over half the snow goon population had congregated there and were either trailing after Gohan or chasing screaming students and teachers around the school.
Gohan was currently in the Science department with a very, very angry Videl and a few dozen crazed snow goons.
"SON GOHAN! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" Videl roared, beating on Gohan's back as hard as she could. Only moments ago, our young demi saiya-jin had figured out that Videl couldn't keep up with the snow goon's pace any more and he had done the only thing he could think of at the moment, besides throwing her out the window. He had picked her up and slung her over his shoulder, a mistake he probably won't be forgetting any time soon. "I SWEAR, ONCE THIS INCIDNET IS OVER WITH, I WILL SUE YOU FOR RAPE!"
"I'm doing this for your safety, Videl!" Gohan argued, skidding around a corner and throwing a well-aimed blast over his shoulder.
"I DOUBT IT, PERVERT!!"
'Women!' Gohan thought angrily. 'They're always so difficult! And those blasted snow goons! I can't shake 'em! There's only one choice, I guess…'
He slowed to a stop and set Videl back on the ground. She put her hands firmly on her hips and glared at him.
"Finally you listened to me," she muttered, prodding him in the chest. "That will not be happening again, all right?"
"If you want to stay alive, it will be," Gohan said seriously. "Listen, what you're about to see you can't tell anyone and I mean it. People would really think I'm a freak if they saw this - "
"Er…OK…" Videl thought it wouldn't be wise to tell Gohan that people already thought he was a freak. "So what are you going to - "
"HAA!"
Videl's jaw dropped as Gohan powered up. His eyes became blue and his normal black hair became white gold. He was now a super saiya-jin.
"NO WAY!" Videl cried, recovering only moments later. "You're the gold fighter too? Just how many alter egos do you have, Son Gohan?"
"Erm…Does the Delivery Boy from the Cell Games ring any bells?" Gohan asked, sheepishly as he scratched his head. Before Videl could answer that question, however, the wall to the right exploded and three new figures flew in through the snow and dust. "Dammit! Not more snow goons!"
Two of the three figures seemed to be around the height of the snow goons and the third was quite taller than the average snow goon. (Gohan instantly forbade the thought of bigger, leader snow goons to cross his mind ever again) The figures also had spiky hair and were talking in the English language. It took Gohan a grand total of five seconds to figure out who these people were.
"Oh, no, not you three!" Gohan groaned instantly as Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks stepped out into the light. "My day is already bad enough! I don't need you wrecking it even more!"
"That's the thanks we get for going out in that blizzard, running into skyscrapers-" Vegeta began, looking extremely angry.
"You're the only one who did that, Dad," Trunks reminded.
"Shut up! And then we had to deal with those damned snow monsters! All because your stupid brat of a brother wanted to rescue you from this damnable school!"
"Well you didn't have to come along, Vegeta-san," Goten said. "Trunks and I could've made it by ourselves!"
"Hey…You didn't tell me there was a whole fleet of gold fighters!" Videl roared, grabbing Gohan by the front of his collar. "I want answers, now Son Gohan, before I sock you into the next dimension!"
"Um…Maybe we can wait until after this whole little situation is cleared up? 'Cause you know, there are a whole bunch of snow goons still chasing after us - "
"Why didn't you just blow 'em up?" Trunks asked as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I tried to, honestly! My aim's just gotten…erm…off a bit."
"You hit the Geometry teacher who was TWENTY feet away from the snow goon!"
"OK, maybe it's really off - "
"Since we're here now, brat, can we leave already? I have a feeling that your harpy mother and the woman won't be able to handle those snow creatures for long -"
"NO! We're not leaving yet! I still have to save the school from that army of snow goons!"
"Um…Big brother…Vegeta-san?"
"WHAT?! Save those miserable humans? Let them deal with the blasted little buggers by themselves - "
"NO WAY! You may not like humans, Vegeta, but some of them are my friends!"
"Dad…? You really might want to look at this - "
"So what if you lose a couple few of them? They're causalities of war!"
"CAUSALITIES OF WAR?! C'mere and let me show you a causality of war-"
"Gohan!!"
"WHAT?!" both Vegeta and Gohan yelled together, turning to look at Goten, Trunks, and Videl who looked slightly frightened. (Vegeta did have a vein going in his forehead after all and Trunks almost reminded him to check his blood pressure. Almost.)
What was actually causing their dilemma wasn't Vegeta and Gohan's argument. It was actually that fact that their small group was surrounding by snow goons. Not a just a few snow goons mind you, but a whole bunch. More like a militia of snow goons, if you really thought about it.
And what all these snow goons had in common was that fact that they were grinning rather evilly and they had they're palms pointing out in front of them towards the small group. Gohan noticed something very familiar about the attack, which prompted him to ask, "Vegeta? Did you happen to use your Gallic Gun while you were fighting the snow goons earlier?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Because it seems they've picked it up from you…"
"Gallic-" all the snow goons began to chant in a high-pitched tone, shocking the you-know-what out of the four saiya-jins and confusing the hell out of Videl.
"Get down!!" Vegeta yelled, grabbing the two boys and pulling them to the ground. Gohan grabbed Videl by the waist before she could even let out a squawk of protest and got her out of the firing range.
But instead of hearing the rest of Vegeta's famous catch phrase, the five heard a definite whoosh noise, two very loud screams, and a big BANG. Gohan waited a few seconds and when he did look up he was greeted with a sight he'd never thought he'd see again.
"DAD?!"

"MISTELTOE?! Dammit, Dende I'm going to kill you!!"
"Oh shut up and kiss me already, you dolt!!"
