Chapter 17
Memories
Android 16 and Tremor landed in front of Capsule Corps.
"We're here."(#16)
"Wow! This place is big! Is she rich or something!?"
"Yes. She is the richest person in the city. Her father is a scientist. She owns a company."
"Cool! I'm sure she'll let me stay. Since she's rich."
"I'll leave from here. Have fun."(#16)
Android 16 flew in the air towards a forest in the distance. Tremor knocks on the door. A woman with blue hair, a red dress, and red high heel shoes on opens the door.
"Can I help you?"
"Hi! My name is Tremor. I'm a friend of Son Goku. A guy named Android 16 said I could stay here. Is that okay with you?"
"Android 16 said you can stay here!? (Bulma sighs) Sure you can stay here but, you have to promise to be good. I have a baby in the house named Trunks. He's asleep at the moment, so you have to be very quiet. Okay?"
"Sure! I'll be quiet."
Bulma lends Tremor inside the house to the living room.
"You can sit here and watch TV. Okay?"
Tremor plumps on the couch. Bulma walks into the kitchen to finish baking cookies.
An hour later……….
Tremor yawns. Then he hears the door slam open. He jumps off the couch to go see who it was. Bulma followed.
"Woman! I'm hungry! Fix me some lunch!"
"Don't come in here yelling! Trunks is asleep!"
Tremor looked from behind Bulma.
"Who is it?"
Tremor eyes almost popped out.
"Wh-What are you doing here?! You're here to get revenge on me because of what I said to you Vegeta!"
"Hmph! No! I wish! You see Tremor this is my house! I live here!"
"WHAT!! Stop joking! Is he joking Mrs.Bulma?"
Bulma nods her head slowly as a no.
"He does live here doesn't he? Oh no! Why me!?!"
"I don't know why you, but since you're staying here. You have to listen to what I say. Weather you like it or not!"
Vegeta starts laughing and starts walking towards the gravity room. He opens the door and slams it behind him. You can hear him starting the machine up and training.
"That Vegeta! He just gets on my nerves sometimes!"(Bulma)
"Hey Mrs. Bulma… What's that burning smell?"
"Burning smell? Oh no! My cookies"
Bulma ran inside the kitchen. She took the cookies out of the oven.
"Oh man…"
Then there was a crying noise coming from upstairs. Vegeta yelled through the gravity door.
"Woman! Get that blasted baby from upstairs!"
Bulma sighs. Bulma runs upstairs to take Trunks out of his crib. She came downstairs with Trunks in her arms. Trunks still had signs of tears on his cheeks and in his eyes.
"Now how will I do this? I have to make cookies, cook lunch, take care of Trunks and clean the house. I also have to prepare dinner! Why me?"
"Um…… Mrs. Bulma……. I can do all that stuff for you if you want me to."
"You do all that work? I'll tire you out!"
"Believe me you won't. I do this all the time with my mother."
"Okay….. If you say so…"
Bulma gives Trunks to Tremor.
"You go get some rest."
Bulma walked upstairs. Tremor walked into the kitchen. He set Trunks in his eating baby chair.
"Since I have these boots on and gloves. I'll be moving super fast! First thing is Vegeta's lunch. Then Mrs. Bulma's lunch."
Tremor moved all around the kitchen super speed. Trunks tried to follow his tracks. Tremor made a small, small beam to cook the chicken faster. He made rice, beans, gravy, mash potatoes, fries, biscuits, chicken nuggets (for baby Trunks), soup, and some vegetables. He made the cookies last. He played with Trunks while they were baking in the oven. He made everything else with his powers.
"Man……. Baking these cookies remind me when I was five. I remember helping my mother bake some."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback in Tremors mind~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Mom! Can I help bake some cookies?"
"Sure Tremor but, you have to be careful or you'll hurt yourself. Okay?"
"Okay Mom!"
We baked cookies together and we had fun together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback ends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tremor lowers his head.
"To bad that was then. Now is worse………"
Tremor sighs.
"But……… Don't worry mom……….. I'm coming soon. Very soon……. To come and get you…….. You just watch me….."
Trunks tipped his head to the side in confusion.
"Huh? Oh yeah! Time to take the cookies out!"
Tremor took out the cookies.
"Better bring Vegeta's lunch. He had been waiting for a whole ten minutes! Stay here Trunks."
Tremor grabbed Bulma food and dashed up the stairs.
"Here you go Mrs. Bulma."
Tremor dashed down the stairs into the gravity room.
"Your food will be ready in one minute."
Tremor dashed out of the gravity room and into the kitchen. He grabbed Trunks and cleaned the whole house in five minutes. Then he went out the door to fly Trunks around. Vegeta blinked a couple of times figuring out what the dashing was. Then he decided to forget about it and continue training. Trunks was having fun flying on Tremor's back. In two minutes, Trunks was getting sleepy. Finally after ten more minutes he was asleep. Tremor flew back to Capsule Corps inside. He put Trunks in his crib in his room upstairs. He dashed back down grabbed Vegeta's food and into the gravity room.
"Here's your food Vegeta."
"It took you seventeen minutes to me just to get it ready."
"You want it or not!"
Vegeta snatched the food and ate it fast. Vegeta looked up from his food at Tremor. He realized Tremor was staring at him.
"Go get your own food!"
"That's not it……. It's just that you remind me of my gramps…….. Hmph! He was a grouch to. When he was young all he wanted to do was fight people. Boss everyone around. Believe me that's all he did. He didn't have fun like normal people would. Instead he would train to try to be the best. And what you know, he turned out to be the best. However, when my mother also my gramps daughter. She wanted to get married to my father gramps didn't allow it. My gramps made a deal with him. He said if he beats him, he could marry her. If not he works for him and not marries her. My gramps lost to my father. Boy! Wasn't he pissed off! My gramps was stronger than my father but, not smarter."
Vegeta groans then he stood up.
"Hmph! I don't look like your gramps because he was old! I'm not old! Now move so I can finish training!"
"Well, if you're going to act like that. Can I watch you from the side? There is nothing to do."
"Hmph!"
"I guess that would be a yes."
Tremor walked near the door and sat down next to it in Indian style.
Tremor thought, "He really does remind me of my gramps. Train, full of pride, lazy, wouldn't admit lost (in a battle), paranoid, doesn't admit he is lonely, and loves you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback in Tremors Mind~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get the wood Tremor! I want you to be strong as an ox! Not weak as an fish!"
"Okay gramps!"
I lift 5-8 pounds of logs.
"Now hold them for ten minutes! Don't move an inch! Understand!?"
"Yes! I understand gramps…."
I held them for three minutes. Then I dropped them. I breathed very heavy.
"I'm- I'm sorry gramps… I-I couldn't them to long- I mean any longer."
"Then your weak as an fish."
Gramps turned his back and headed towards the cabin.
"Wait! Why are you so mean to everybody? Why not be nice to somebody for once!?"
Gramps sighs
"Tremor….. You can't be nice to everyone. Everyone is cruel in this world. Nobody is nice in this world. All everyone care about is power and money. I don't mean to be hard on you but, you need to open your eyes and see the truth. If you slack! Everyone will walk all over you. Got to be strong, not weak….."
Gramps walked inside the cabin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback ends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tremor smirks and said, "If you slack….. Everyone will walk all over you… Got to be strong, not weak…….."
Vegeta stopped training and looked at Tremor.
"What you say!?"
Tremor shakes his head.
"N-No! I said nothing."
"Hmm….."
Vegeta continued to train then he thought, " I could of sworn he said something…… Saying something about slacking…. Now it makes me wonder…… Do I really remind him of his Gramps….. Or is he trying to make me pissed off! If I don't……. Then why is he staring at me like that? I'm surprised the gravity hasn't pulled him down yet or made him tired out. Hmmm….. Let's see what he can do……."
"Tremor!"
"What?"
"Come here!"
"Sure whatever."
Tremor stood and walked where Vegeta was.
"Yeah?"
"Show me what you can do besides sit. Or is that all you can do?"
"I can do more than sit! I can do stuff like this!"
Tremor dashed around the room ten times, then he came back to Vegeta.
"There! I proved it!"
"……… I didn't see nothing but see you run around the room ten times!"
"Of course you didn't! I was going to fast for you to see! While running around the room ten times. I did sit ups, push ups, flips, punches, kicks, and ate."
"You ate! I don't se-"
"See! I still have a piece of my sandwich left!"
Tremor tossed it up and ate it.
"Okay! I see you did eat and do a couple of moves. I still don't understand why I couldn't see you. I know I move faster than you!"
"Wanna bet?!"
"Hmph!"
"Alright then! You and me move at the same time. Run around this room fifty times. Whoever comes to this exact spot first is the fastest and of course the winner."
"And if you lose?"
"You….. You can beat me up for earlier……"
"Hmph! I will definitely win for that!"
"However! If you lose you will be nice and do what I say for a week."
"A week! Well, I will make sure you lose and I will also boss you around!"
"Alright! Now you can't hit me and I can't hit you. It will be cheating! No cheating!"
"Okay! Let's go already!"
"On your mark….Get set…… go!"
Vegeta and Tremor ran at same time. Two minutes later….. They both stopped at the finish line at the same time.
"Looks like we made it at the same time."
"Hmph!"
"Well, I'm off to relax or something."
"Good! Now just get out so I can finish training!"
Tremor rolled his eyes and left the room. He flunked on the couch. He sighed happily, and then his face saddened. He reached into his pockets. He had a quick picture of the whole group. He stared at Hun in the photo, having a quick flashback of first meeting him.
Then stared at Yen in the photo, also having a quick flashback when he first meant him.
~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK IN TREMORS MIND~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I (Tremor) was in school sitting at my desk. Third row, third seat. I looked behind me. A computer screen floating in the seat was showing the face of a little boy with blue hair. I was in second grade at the time.
"When are you coming to school face to face?"
"Maybe tomorrow. I enjoy being in my lab. I can school while in my lab."
"Well I would like to meet you face to face…."
"See you tomorrow……. Face to face."
We met each other the next day. It was Yens first time in school. He decided to go to school from that day on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK ENDS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tremor stared at Ching in the photo. He was having a quick flashback when he first met him. Then he finally stares at Dan last. Having a quick flashback when he first met Dan.
~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK IN TREMORS MIND~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello! Heard you're new in our classroom. Want me to give you a school tour?"
"Hmph!"
"Is that a yes? Okay then….. Um….. I didn't catch your name."
Tremor and Dan were in the hallway near their classroom. The hallway was filled with other students. Two minutes before the bell rings to return to your class. Dan turned from his locker. He gave Tremor this evil glare.
"None of your business what my name is! Now don't bother me or follow me!"
Dan slammed his locker door and walked down the hallway. Tremor tilted his head to the side in confusion. Then he smiled and ran behind Dan.
"Don't be a grouch. Let me give you a school tour. It's very short. What do you say?"
Dan stopped dead in his tracks and stared at Tremor. He looked like he was being annoyed.
"No tour! I said to-"
The announcements came on.
"We are having early dismissal because of certain situations. When the bell rang you may leave."
The announcements ended. Dan looked back at Tremor.
"As I was saying. No tour! I said to not follow me or bother me! Now leave me or you'll be sorry!"
Dan turned away from Tremor. He headed towards the exit doors. He stood next to them. He folded his arms waiting for the bell to ring. Tremor stood on the other side of the doors. The bell ringed ten seconds later. Students ran down the hall like a herd of elephants. Dan exit out the doors last with his arms folded. His backpack was on his left shoulder. Tremor followed him. Dan stopped in the school parking lot. He turned and stared at Tremor.
"You won't give up will you?"
Tremor nodded his head as a no.
"I guess you'll have to learn the hard way."
Tremor stared at Dan with confusion mixed with stunned expressions.
"W-What do you mean?" Tremor said staring at Dan hard.
Dan put his backpack down. Tremor eyes followed the backpack, but quickly returned to Dan. Dan unfolded his arms and cracked his knuckles on both hands. Dan spread his legs. His right fist in the back against his side while the other fist was in front. Tremor did the same fighting position. One kid saw them and called other kids. A crowd formed around Dan and Tremor. The next thing Tremor knew without knowing it. Dan was running towards him. Dan threw a punch at Tremor, but Tremor jumped back dodging it by an inch. Dan pressed his left leg hard in the ground and delivered a strong punch to Tremor stomach. A kid in the crowd knew what technique this was and style.
"Oh my gosh! That-That style…. It is the HAKKO KU-KEN style! The technique he did was the Rimon-Chochu!! The Rimon-Chochu is stepping in with your strong leg and striking your opponent. However, only experienced fighters can use this special technique of Hakko Ku-Ken effectively."
Tremor flew back and hit the side of a car. Tremor got back up slowly trying to gain his balance again. Suddenly, Tremor ran towards Dan at an incredible speed.
"Wow! He's fast!" A kid said in the crowd.
One of Tremors classmates said, "Of course he's fast! He's the fastest one in the whole school! He's always in first place in every race we have here!"
Tremor ran so fast that Dan didn't see it. The next thing Dan knew was Tremor doing a somersault with his legs upright at his chin. The kid that told about the Hakko Ku-Ken style came out from the crowd. The kid was Yen. Yen also knew what this technique is and style.
"The style is Jeet(Jet) Kun Do. A guy named Bruce Lee made up this style and technique. The technique he just did is the Somersault Kick!! The Somersault Kick requires fast reflexes and perfect timing. A fighter would need both legs to execute this move. It's one of the special attacks in the Jeet Kun Do arsenal."
Dan fell back but he quickly recovered by flipping backwards. Dan ran towards Tremor again, but this time Tremor ran towards him also. They both grabbed each other hands tightly. They both tried to push each other in a different direction. Tremor budged Dan a little. Tremor power was rising. Then, a ki formed around him and he pushed Dan hard. Dan flew back. Flying through the air towards a car. Dan hit against the car hard. The car had a deep bent on the car door. The ki around Tremor disappeared. Tremor relaxed his arms against his side. Dan got up slowly. He held on to his right arm. Tremor realized his right arm was in pain. The crowd left leaving only Yen, Tremor, and Dan. Tremor walked towards Dan.
"Are you okay?" Tremor asked.
Dan stared at him then he looked down without replying to his question.
"I said are you o-"
"My name is Dan!" Dan said disgusted.
Tremor was stunned at first but then he smirked.
"My name is Tremor. I think we'll be great friends Dan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK ENDS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My friends…… I miss them….. I hope their okay….."
Tremor puts the picture away. Vegeta came out the gravity room, but Tremor didn't hear him. Vegeta saw Tremor. He decided to hide in the corner. Where it was dark, so Tremor can't see him. Tremor made a fist.
"That stupid Surka!! Why me?! Why couldn't he bother Mag Laucher the so called greatest adventurer!? Why bother a boy like me that's only 10 years old!!" Tremor yelled.
Tremor voice suddenly became a whisper.
"I don't understand….. I was created by some genius. Whatever genius Surka was talking about. I destroyed planets and killed people years, years ago. I just don't understand why I'm age ten again. If the story Surka told me is true. Then why don't I remember? Why did I become good? Why did I destroy everything? I just hope I don't do anything crazy."
Vegeta was a little stunned by this.
Vegeta thought, "What! A kid his age destroyed planets and killed people! He said it was years ago… How is that possible? He couldn't have done it when he was two years old. That's impossible! What does he mean?"
"My friends……… I hope their okay…….."
Vegeta slowly walked back to the gravity room. After he went inside. He could have sworn he saw something shine before he left. It looked like……. A tear……
Kitty8688theonly: Sad isn't it? Tremor cried a little there, but he'll be great by the next chapter. The fighting techniques and styles are REAL styles and techniques. They are NOT fake techniques or styles! The next chapter is going to be great!! It is going to be part two of Tremors True Power, but it's not going to be named that. Well, next chapter will be up soon. Till then! REVIEW PLEASE!!!
