Fallen Hero

Chapter 3

CMG: *dressed up like Naruto* Hey, hey, hey! I'm back with another chapter and today's going to be a good one because there's going to be a rather brief, but interesting battle in this chapter!

Scrix: *dressed up like Kakashi* Why am I dressed up like Naruto's sensei?

CMG: Because, I want to set the mood! Right Karis?

Karis: *dressed like Sakura while thinking* I swear if I weren't dressed up like this right now, I would beat CMG's brains in.

Inner Karis: *keeping with the Inner Sakura gag as an outlined frame of Karis appears with devil-like eyes and flames rising in the blackened background* Hell ya!

Saria: *dressed like Ino* You do realize that we're rivals now, right Karis?

Karis: I suppose, but who's going to be Sasuke?

CMG: *almost laughs as she casually calls off stage to the dressing room* Oh Goku! Let us see what you look like!

Goku: *comes out dressed like Sasuke* Why am I dressed like this?

Karis/Saris: *yells at CMG with large heads as she comically falls over* How dare you dress him up like Sasuke if he's already mated with Chi-chi!

CMG: There's a reason, right Zi-Kita-chan?

Zi-Kita: *sweat drops as he comes out wearing a costume looking like Orochimaru as he ignores the script* Because I kidnapped him?

CMG: *goes Super Bitchin' 4* NO YOU IDIOT! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT YOU POSSESSED HIM! JUST LIKE IN NARUTO! GEEZ! YOU'RE NOT SMART AT ALL!

Goku: I'm possessed? Ah! Help me! *runs into a wall and goes sliding down it as CMG grows angrier about the failed attempt to loosen the suspense*

CMG: So much for mixing Naruto with Dragon Ball Z, which I don't own either of them and only own some Gods, Goddesses and a Namekian dragon. *notices readers still there* Go on! Read before I go Super Bitchin' 5! *readers remain* Geez! Don't say I warn you to leave! AHHHH!!!! *camera cracks*

Zi-Kita: That's not even a lev-! *camera breaks*

****************************************************

Now the winds of war are blowing and there's no way of knowing

Where this bloody path we're traveling will lead

We must follow till the end

Or face it all again

And make no mistake about it, write it, preach it, talk it, shout it

Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas

The blood of innocence and shame

Will not be shed in vain

~Charles Daniel Band-The Last Fallen Hero

"...and it's up to us to stop Zi-Kita before things get worse," said Bardock as Gohan and Goten enter the house. "About time you showed up. Now we need to prepare."

"Right," said Gohan. "Scrix and I talked a bit and I'm with you guys now. Let's go save my father and the universe!"

"Yes!" chanted the Z-Warriors as they throw up their fists in agreement.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wakey wakey, Kakarotto," said a feminine voice instead of Zi-Kita's as the Earth-raised Saiya-jin woke with a splitting headache. "About time you come to."

"Who are you?" said Kakarotto.

"Hmph, no manners, not even for a lady," said the woman as she kicked Kakarotto in the gut. "My name is Demona and you, my dear Kakarotto are my manservant."

"Manservant? Does that mean I have to do everything, including wiping your ass?" said Kakarotto as he spat the last words out like he was disgusted.

"You mistaken that term," said Demona. "A manservant is to serve a lady in waiting. You know like escort them through the streets or wait on them hand and foot."

"Oh," said Kakarotto. "Does that mean I still have to wipe your ass?" Demona face vaulted. (A/N: What? You were expecting Kakarotto to be smarter than Goku after his memories were wiped out? You wish!) Kakarotto was met with a slap in the face by Demona who was rather pissed off at him for the way he treated her.

"Hmph, vulgar low-class," said Demona. "If you're going to insult me, then I won't mind leaving you here in the nude."

"Fine, I'm sorry, okay?" said Kakarotto. "I just haven't learned the proper etiquette to treat a charming young lady like yourself politely yet."

"Then prepare to learn, my dear Kakarotto," said Demona. "From this day forward, you are to serve me, Demona, mistress of Zi-Kita." (A/N: CMG: Hey Zi-Kita? Is she your mate? | Zi-Kita: Search me. You created her. | CMG: Right. She's your mate! | Zi-Kita: I never understood you nor am I going to start trying to.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

About an hour after the Z-Fighters entered the Other Realm, Bardock left everyone and marched straight towards Infr to find out Goku's fate.

/Your son's already been brainwashed,/ said Infr. /However, there's a way to reverse it if we manage to rescue him./

/How?/ said Bardock.

/We can use Zi-Kita's pet dragon, Tronikor to reverse the process,/ said Infr.

/Zi-Kita's got a dragon?/ said Bardock as he thought of the fire-breathing dragon-type of dragons. A rather interesting image appeared in the seer's head of a dragon burning Goku and making him forget his memories as he comes out like a piece of beef jerky, Saiya-jin style.

/Not the type you're thinking, idiot,/ said Infr as he picked up the images running through the warrior's head. /He used the Dragon Balls./

/Dragon Balls?/ said Bardock as another image started to develop in his head of Shenlong as he imagined a super-deformed version of Zi-Kita talking to him as the dragon towered over the little figure. /I see. But how does he own his own dragon if he doesn't know how to create it?/

/He kidnapped a Namek long ago and enslaved him,/ said Infr. /Since he was one of the Dragon Clan's children, he made him create his own set of Dragon Balls and had the Namek be able to control the dragon, Tronikor, in Namekian so no one could interfere with any wishes. However, Kakarot somehow learned the Namekian language./

/How in the world did he learn the language?/ said Bardock.

/I taught him,/ said a voice behind Bardock as he turned shocked to see Piccolo standing there as though he was eavesdropping. /I taught it to him one day about a few years after the disaster with Majin Buu.../

*** Flashback... ***

"Hey Piccolo!" said Goku.

"What is it, son?" said Piccolo.

"I was wondering if you can teach me Namekian," said Goku.

"What?" said Piccolo. "Why do you want to learn Namekian?"

"I want to learn it in case we ever end up in a crisis like that again and if Dende's accidentally killed or something like that," said Goku.

"Fine, but if I'm going to teach you Namekian, then you better teach me that language you Saiya-jins use," growled Piccolo.

"Oh, you mean Saiya-go?" said Goku. "Sure! But how are we both going to learn each other's languages?"

"There's a full moon out tonight," said Piccolo. "We'll meet in the woods and I'll perform a ceremony there."

"Later that night, Goku and I met in the woods to perform the ceremony so that we wouldn't have to learn the language in a matter of months."

"Now before we do this, are you sure you want to learn my language?" said Piccolo.

"Of course," said Goku.

"Very well," said Piccolo as he slit his hand open. "All you need to do is drink my blood, right?"

"Piccolo?" said Goku as Piccolo grabbed Goku rather roughly and forced his hand into Goku's mouth. As he felt the blood coat his tongue, his eyes suddenly flashed teal for a second as though he was about to become a Super Saiya-jin.

"Oh no you don't!" said Piccolo as he grabbed Goku's tail and remembered hearing about the Golden Oozaru story Bardock told them about a few months after the Majin Buu incident during the Trial of the Saiya-jin. The last thing Piccolo wanted was a rampaging Golden Oozaru with one of his fangs inside Piccolo's hand. "No turning Super Saiya-jin and then becoming a Golden Oozaru during this or I'll come back to kill you again!"

*Sorry Piccolo,* said Goku telepathically. *But you didn't have to be so rough!*

"That's no excuse, now are you able to learn the language or not?" said Piccolo as he withdrew his hand from Goku's mouth. Silence existed before it was interrupted by Piccolo muttering in Namekian, "If you didn't learn the language, then you are wasting my time..."

"I understand you, Piccolo," said Goku in Namekian. "And it's not a waste of time really. I just want to be sure that Earth has someone to summon Porunga than wait for the wish to be granted."

"You know, for a Saiya-jin that should be dumber than a bunch of rocks, you seem to have surprised me with that lack of intelligence you possess," said Piccolo as he switches back to the Universal Language ™. "Now let me take your blood so I can understand your language."

"Fine," said Goku as he cuts his hand open with a small bit of energy and presents it to Piccolo like an offering. He winces as Piccolo's fangs brush against the wound in his hand before a tongue began lapping at the blood. Once Piccolo was done, Goku regained his hand as it instantly healed. "What?"

"You have my healing ability now as well," said Piccolo as he switched to Saiya-go. /And I understand your language now./

/Wow! Not even I had an easy time talking in it at first,/ said Goku.

/What do you mean?/ said Piccolo. /You were chatting away during the Cell Games in this language. And I remember what you called Vegeta now that I think back on it. If he heard you then, then he would have made you beg for mercy if he got a hold of your tail./

/Ouch!/ said Goku as he jokingly pouted at Piccolo. /I'm hurt!/

"In any case, never use Namekian unless you really need to," said Piccolo.

"Fine," said Goku. "I promise."

*** End Flashback ***

/...and that's how I learned Saiya-go,/ finished Piccolo. /There, are you happy?/

/Not really,/ said Infr. /Saiya-go's forbidden to be taught to outsiders./

/Does that mean I'll have to be punished?/ challenged Piccolo.

/Since you were Kami at one point, I cannot force any punishments upon you and if Zi-Kita were to hear you speak in that language, he would kill you with no hesitation at all,/ said Infr.

/Fine, I won't speak in it,/ said Piccolo.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Hm, so Piccolo knows Saiya-go, eh?' said Vegeta. 'This will be interesting.'

Zi-Kita: *restoring power to the camera as everyone is back in their respected clothing, including CMG who was snapping her tail in the air in the background* Hmph. You should be grateful that the camera broke before you revealed too much stupidity. *growls as he pulls a pair of boxers that have hearts on them from the arm of his cloak* Damn that Dark-Sephy for saying that I "seems well at place between the underwear..." *burns the boxers as he came to a startling realization* What is underwear anyway?

CMG: *face vaults before getting up rather shocked* You mean you don't know? *becomes rather grossed out* Ew! You're disgusting! *makes hacking noises as she grabs her throat and falls over again*

Infr: *mumbling* Thou shall not explain petty Earth-jin items to the Gods of the Saiya-jin race. Including the undergarment that men and women wear. *CMG bolts upright with that remark*

CMG: Well excuse me, but he was the one who asked! Besides, she was also not into the bitching Gohan about the past anyway! I was only trying to add on the suspense!

Scrix: And you're doing poorly at it!

CMG: You better not provoke me or the next chapter gets a cliffy added to it. Until next time, read and review folks!
