I wish I owned DBZ, but I don't. I own DVD's and tapes, but it just isn't the same. I also don't own the right to any of the music pieces you may see selected, just copies of merchandise, such a shame. The artists that created them are geniuses and we all must bow to them.
Chapter 15: Secrets Revealed
Gohan stood over the remains of the evil Apocalypse, an icy cold stare on his face as he looked upon the remains with disgust. He began walking towards us, powering down on the way and returning to the calm, good-natured Gohan that had vanished within the powerful Saiyan beast a moment ago.
"You okay Verto?" he asked, a small smile on his face.
I grinned slightly, "About time you did that. I'm okay, just a little food and rest is all I need. Piccolo and Vegeta have beaten me up worse." He held out his hand and pulled me to my feet.
"I know the feeling, hopefully we can rest a day or two now. You and the boys could use it, and I'm a little hungry myself," Gohan said. That comment brought Goten and Trunks back to life in a snap.
"FOOD, WHERE!" They hopped around Gohan excitedly. I just chuckled at the sight, too tired to even think about doing that. I suddenly sensed three power signals approaching, but too weak to really do much. Then I spotted Wolverine, Jubilee and Magneto floating down in Magneto's magnetic field bubble. As soon as they landed the bubble disappeared and Jubilee ran over to check on us.
"What happened here?" she gasped as she finally noticed all the rubble and debris surrounding us.
"Let's just say Apocalypse is no longer a problem. As for the building, it has seen better days," Gohan said, scratching the back of his head and grinning Son fashion.
"You guys look like you've been through hell and high water," Wolverine said, walking up as well.
"Well if we had some Senzu beans we could be back to normal quickly, but all we really need is a few days rest and some food. We'll recover just fine," Gohan suggested.
"Senzu beans?" Magneto asked from behind Jubilee.
"Magic beans that restore your health and strength, not to mention can keep you full for awhile," I explained for Gohan.
"Well we haven't got anything like that, however I know someone who can help. She is a mutant doctor I met about thirteen years ago. We will go back to the mansion, where I will contact her and request she come to us instead. She has the power to heal," Xavier suggested. Something told me that we were not done yet, apparently Gohan got that feeling as well.
"Hmmm, the portal should've appeared by now, shouldn't it?" I asked silently.
"Yes it should have, maybe there is more than one in this world, he never said how many. Look at it this way, we can use the time to recover. Hopefully the next one won't be like that beast was," he replied. As soon as his soundless words ended, I felt as if we were being spied on in our thoughts. I turned right away to Xavier, who looked slightly surprised.
"Do you mind? It's a private conversation, and I personally don't like to be spied on," I said, a very slight threatening tone to get my point across. I should have known that would draw a response from Wolverine, but he only growled slightly and stood motionless.
"My apologies, I had no idea that you two possessed telepathic abilities. The other two have the potential but haven't learned it yet," he nodded towards Goten and Trunks.
"We had the same teacher, now where is this healer you were speaking of?" Gohan asked, getting back to the subject.
"Ah yes, I suggest you allow me to contact her and she will come on her own free will. She's not fond of strangers, even those in need. You can rest at the mansion meantime. Scott, if you would call the blackbird, we can journey back to Westchester now," Xavier said. I glanced at Gohan, he just shrugged and nodded. The black jet appeared a minute or so later and we piled in to head back to the X mansion. I don't know about Goten and Trunks, but I was beat and I slept most of the way back to the mansion. Gohan wasn't quite as exhausted as the rest of us for obvious reasons, but even he yawned. Several times the X-men asked if I was okay, as they did to everyone else. They finally got the hint that we were just tired from such a battle and just needed food and rest. When we arrived at the mansion, Xavier suggested we stay in the medical wing just in case, we were too tired to care, or at least I was. Jean pointed out a bed and I crashed right away.
I woke to the sound of my stomach growling angrily, quite loud. Then I heard a huge echo from it. It turned out to be Gohan, Goten and Trunks' stomachs all growling in sync with my own.
"Hey squirt! Nice to see you've joined me in the land of the living, the boys are still out, for now," Gohan greeted me.
"Squirt huh, didn't I say not to call me that? I'll remember that if you ever get turned into a kid," I said, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The door opened on the far side of the medical room, and Xavier entered in his wheelchair, along with Jean and someone I did not recognize, another female with red hair.
"This is Doctor Diana Smith, she has the healing ability I was touching on. Just lie still and she will do the rest," Xavier explained. I flipped onto my back and lay still while the Doctor put her hands above my chest. They began to glow, and I felt my body's strength return quickly. She finished and I jumped off the table, good as new, and amazingly I wasn't hungry anymore. Only I felt noticeably stronger now, probably from the delay in the healing time.
"Thanks, I didn't realize it would wipe out my appetite too!" I said happily.
She looked confused, "It shouldn't do that, unless you eat a lot."
I put on the Son type grin that I was quickly picking up, "You could say that we eat a lot." She moved over to Gohan and proceeded with him. I felt a spike in his ki, I figured it to be just the healing, and boy was I wrong. He also felt stronger, but that wasn't what I detected. When he got off the table and stood up, he fell forward. Everyone began to step toward him, only to stop and gaze at his backside. There, swishing in the air, was a Saiyan tail. Gohan recognized the familiar feeling in his back and grabbed it in amazement.
"Okay...that's different. It wasn't supposed to grow back anymore," he muttered loudly, "Um miss, exactly what do your healing powers do? Do they regenerate the entire bone structure as well, I mean other than just healing them?"
Dr. Smith was taken aback a little for that question, but didn't seem too upset, "Something like that young man, was I not supposed to?"
Gohan obviously didn't want to make her feel bad, "Well I haven't had my tail since I was about eight years old, and the boys had theirs removed. I kind of missed the little bugger though, thanks!" Gohan said a little lighter at the end. She shrugged it off and healed the boys next. To my surprise, their tails grew back too, which caused Gohan to do a double take. Soon they were arguing about which one looked better, until Trunks tugged on Goten's and produced a wonderful sounding yelp of pain. This caused the retaliation from Goten, which left Trunks holding his tail like it had sunburn. Then they're eyes turned dark and evil, and Gohan was quickly running for his life, holding his tail away from the twin terrors. The X-men stood there, dazed and confused at the hilarious sight of the powerful teen running from the boys like a rabbit from a lion.
"Tails are very sensitive, one squeeze and it hurts like hell. Not to mention that most Saiyans will be paralyzed from it, he could probably tell you about that. I don't have that problem though, guess I just got lucky with the right genetics and the right teacher. It's still sensitive, but it won't make me helpless like it will them right now," I explained, chuckling some more as the boys had just dived again at Gohan's rear, and also leaving out the all important facts of my true origin.
"How ironic, that such a powerful race would have such an obvious weakness," Xavier said, hand to his chin.
"Hey boys, its not nice to grab another ones tail. It hurts a lot as you found out, don't ever do it again!" Gohan scolded them.
"Awww Gohan, we're just trying to have a little fun," Trunks whined. The scolding lecture continued, Gohan went on a roll that would've rivaled Chichi. While they were stuck in that situation, I took the liberty of doing a wide range ki scan to see if we still had another enemy to beat. I began picking up several ki sources somewhere to the east and slightly south, around what should be New York City, though I wasn't sure. Similar power levels to the mutants, but different signatures, some even slightly mechanical, though those were barely detectable even if I was completely calm and focused. I found that out when I tried to pick 18's signal up and found there was hardly anything to detect, never mind the fact that it was hard enough with all the Z fighters in the same room. The levels I was picking up spiked slightly, but not long enough or strong enough to notice had I not been searching for them.
"I think we had better get going guys, I think I have a slight lead on the next place were supposed to go. There's some energy spikes south and east of here, not mutant signals either. Maybe we should check it out," I suggested after Gohan was through drilling the boys.
"If you're going to New York, we know someone there who is a hero like us, only he's not a mutant. He goes by the name Spiderman, just look hard enough and you can find him," Beast said. Oh good, another one I know well.
"We'll keep an eye out," Gohan said.
"Spiderman? What does he do spin webs and scare old ladies?" Trunks asked, laughing at the name.
"Oh he's capable of being one of the best saviors this world has ever seen. As it sounds, he has spider attributes obviously, and he is quite a being of skill and strength, but that isn't his best quality. What he lacks in ability he makes up in intelligence; he is a remarkable man," Xavier said in his defense.
"So he's a nerd like Gohan?" Trunks asked right away.
"In that case, we will be sure to find him and see if he does indeed need our assistance," Gohan said, ignoring Trunks, "Thanks for putting up with us for a few days, we should get going now."
"It is our thanks that should be said, you four have saved this world and many others. I truly hope that someday we can repay the favor, but I don't think its possible. Thank you Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Verto, you will always have a friend in the X-men. Stop by this dimension again sometime," Xavier chuckled. We waved goodbye in our own way and took flight from the mansion to the general direction of New York City.
"Wow we must have slept all day too guys, its twilight now!" Gohan pointed out as we flew. I quickly looked for any sign of a moon, finding none.
After flying high for about ten minutes we descended upon what seemed to be New York, though a little different then what it was on my world. Had I actually been to New York before, I may have been able to notice many similar or different things, but I hadn't.
"I think we should stick near the building tops, I doubt these people see others that fly everyday," I suggested. Gohan nodded and descended to the nearest building in the middle of the city. On the roof was a landing of some kind, but more like an upper deck, then next to it another tower. The windows up and down the building were dark so we could not peer inside. We landed on the upper deck and glanced around, nothing really of notable interest.
"Nobody's home?" Goten asked.
"This Spiderman is probably going to take awhile to find anyway guys, I doubt he lives here, but we can't just check everywhere," Gohan said.
"I think all we should do is wait and watch for trouble, he'd probably show up then sometime. All we have to do is check for a higher ki level, so just sit tight I guess," I said, sitting on the ground Indian style and preparing for meditation. Just as I said that, a high ki level went flying by the wall of the building, and then came back and a white string or rope flew up and grabbed the building side. The wall crawler himself flipped onto the upper deck surface and crouched down like he was ready to pounce.
"That was fast!" I said aloud.
He front flipped and turned to look at us, "Who are you?" Spiderman asked.
Gohan stepped forward first, "I'm Gohan, your Spiderman I assume?" He nodded, "Good, Professor Xavier said to look for you, were wondering if..."
"Professor Xavier of the X-men sent you? For what reason? Are you Mutants?"
"Hang on I will get to that, let me explain us first," Gohan began. For someone who disappears quickly, Spiderman displayed a ton of patience listening to Gohan's heavily edited explanation. After finishing up with the X-men, Spiderman finally relaxed a bit, standing straight up.
"So you're here to see if I need assistance so you can go back to your world?" he asked.
"That's right, heck we don't even know if home is next on the list," Gohan shrugged.
"Well this is the Kingpin's hideout, I do not know what he has been up to, but he has a very dear friend of mine under his control so to speak. Her father was young during World War Two and witnessed the development of a super soldier formula in Germany, the same formula was developed here as well. Only two people were said to actually taken this formula, two lost warriors known as the Red Skull, and Captain America, both are presumed dead by now. The Kingpin wanted to get a hold of the formula and learned that my friend's father had it stored in his memory, so he kidnapped him and his daughter. To make Mister Harding comply, the formula was tested on my friend, Felicia. It worked, but the Kingpin is keeping her father hostage so she complies with him and does what he says. She calls herself the Black Cat now, and is just as strong as Captain America was," Spiderman finished with a little trail at the end of his voice.
"So all we gotta do is bust in here and get the girl and her dad, no problem," Trunks said.
"This is the Kingpin's headquarters! You can't just walk in the door and say hello, he's killed people for less! We must sneak in somehow and not be discovered, he has a lot of money and technology on hand," Spiderman interjected.
"I doubt he has what he needs to get rid of four Saiyans, we'll break this down and kick his ass," I said, a big bright smirk on my face.
"Kid, if you guys can actually do this and kick his ass, I'll take you all out for dinner," Spiderman laughed. Whoops, he just gave us all the motivation we needed, I hope he's got the money.
"Goten, Trunks, you can do the honors," Gohan said with a wave of the hand. Spiderman was gasping at the new hole in the side of the steel building a few seconds later.
"Got your wallet handy?" I chuckled as I turned to go inside. I could feel nervousness in Spiderman's ki spike a little. He was still shaking even after we had entered the hole in the building and into a long hallway.
After a good minute he finally came rushing in, "We should go this way," he pointed but stayed behind us. I trailed behind so I could speak with him on the way, Gohan led with the boys dancing around behind him.
"I think we can find your friend down that way, there's a high energy signal over there. The rest are up ahead," Gohan pointed.
Again Spiderman gasped, "How could you know that?"
"We can sense energy levels. Bigger ones are easier to find unless the person knows how to manipulate theirs, but even little ones like yours are easy to find if you're close enough to them," Gohan made it sound easy.
"Gee thanks, glad to know I'm so high on the scale," Spiderman huffed.
"I didn't mean that in a bad way, yours is one of the higher ones in this whole city. I was just using an example," Gohan apologized.
"Well don't sweat it, let's go get her out," Spiderman said, taking the lead down a different hallway. He broke into a dead sprint, like a desperate person would. We followed only to come to a screeching halt when he rounded the corner. Ahead of him was a tall man in a green suit, and the suit had a scorpion like tail about it that seemed to swing whatever way its master wished.
"Spiderman! Time to die web head!" Scorpion shouted. Scorpion swung his tail right at Spiderman, who leapt out of the way, and the tail came to rest at Trunks' outstretched hand, who grabbed a hold.
"Hey, let go kid! Ahhh, Damnit let me go, owww that hurt! OH NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" he wailed as Trunks gripped down and ripped the tail in two without any effort. Green acid spilt out from the broken tail still attached, but it missed us and melted the floor instead.
"What, I was just helping you out, now it's shorter!" Trunks laughed mockingly. Scorpion's eyes turned bloodshot as his anger rose and he lunged at Trunks, who swept his feet and was back around with a ki blast charged and ready before Scorpion ever hit the ground.
"Surrender, otherwise you will give me no choice," Trunks declared, his hand right at Scorpion's now frightened face.
"No don't!" Spiderman shouted.
Trunks looked up and Scorpion scrambled for his life, "What's the deal, isn't he the bad guy? I was just giving him the option to surrender before I finished him off," Trunks whined in frustration.
"Yes he's the bad guy, but he deserves another chance. Maybe now he will give it up," Spiderman said in a pity filled tone.
"I'm guessing that you've faced him more than once and beaten him? Has he ever given up Spiderman, has anyone? Even when you beat them the worst, have any of them?" Gohan asked.
"No, all of them have come back for more."
"Well this is what we have learned the hard way: Try and let the enemy have another shot at a life, even with the best intentions, it can come back to bite you in the end. I don't know whether its truly right or wrong to approach it that way, but its been less painful for my family and friends when the same enemy can't come back to kill them, see what I mean? My father always managed to see the good in others when possible, but a lot of enemies have come looking for him afterwards," Gohan asked firmly.
Spiderman just shook his head slightly, "Well you may be right, but I resolved never to use my powers to kill a long time ago, and I wont change that now," he said defiantly.
Gohan just smiled, "That's ok, I'll make sure we don't kill the bad guys if we don't have to." Spiderman turned to a door on the near side of the hall way and immediately tried to open it with the computer panel, no go. Then he tried muscling it but the door didn't budge.
"Allow me," Gohan said, punching the door in the middle and ripping it off its hinges. Then a figure stepped out, dressed in black except for boots and gloves. This time a girl came out, and quite a good looking one too. She also looked as if she'd rip anyone a new asshole if they tried to take a piece of her.
"Cat, you ok?" Spiderman asked with opened arms.
"Spider! Who's your new friends, ooo this one is cute," She eyed Gohan, who right away reverted to blushing and scratching the back of his head.
"This is Gohan and his friends, they're sort of here to help," Spiderman stuttered.
"To take on Fisk you bring a bunch of kids?" Cat suddenly got angry.
"Hey we can help!" Goten protested.
"Sorry junior, but I need men to take on Fisk. This is not a place for children!" Cat scolded.
"I'll do this one," I said, putting a hand up and firing a weak ki blast at the far wall, shook the building and left a large hold behind. Cat's jaw dropped and quivered for a minute.
"Will that do for a demonstration?" I asked.
Gohan took the lead again, "Come on, the other bad guys are this way!" We followed, eventually Cat did once she let her thought process catch up.
"So you all have super powers like that?" Cat asked naively.
"That's right, though I wish we could get going home. Dunno how long exactly we've been gone but I think its approaching two days, our mothers have fits if they don't see us everyday," Gohan finished explaining as we crept down the halls of the Kingpin's headquarters.
"What's that furry thing around your waist?" Cat asked.
"That's a tail, let's just say it has some...chaotic properties when the full moon is up. I'm not quite sure if we should be keeping them, all it takes is one look and all hell breaks loose," Gohan continued, before stopping before a huge metal door.
"Fisk's main chambers are in here," Cat said, punching the door as hard as she could, "No use, the metal is too strong and thick."
"Stand back!" Gohan called behind them, ki blast ready to fire. Once Spiderman and Cat were out of the way he let it fly, leaving a good size hole in the wall. Calmly walking through it, we saw the big guy himself, Wilson Fisk, otherwise known as the Kingpin, standing behind a desk. There was quite a pissed off look on his face, but it changed when he saw us four Saiyans.
"Who are you!" Fisk asked, then he saw Cat and Spiderman behind us, "Ah my dear, I see the spider has tainted your eyes again, may I remind you that I still control your father's destiny. Dispose of Spiderman now and I may forgive you."
"You touch a hair on her father's head and you will live to regret it. Hurting the innocent is something I don't tolerate," Gohan declared his presence with a very menacing look.
"I don't know you are boy, but you had better leave now before I do something I might regret. Leave now on good terms or pay the price!" Fisk threatened. A door to my right opened and a few of Fisk's goons came in.
"Ah gentleman, good timing, your opportunity to destroy Spiderman may have come at last," Fisk turned to them. I glanced and observed some more of Spidey's enemies: Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Shocker, and Mysterio.
"Finally, Spiderman, prepare for the great beyond!" Rhino yelled happily.
"Hold it, even if you have a bone to pick with Spiderman, you have to beat us first!" Gohan shouted.
"You and the kids, you've got to be kidding!" Rhino mocked.
"Okay, big bad guy! Think you're so tough, I can beat you with my eyes closed!" Goten challenged.
"Whatever kid, fine I'll plaster you into the ground first!" Rhino charged Goten. The other "warriors" came at us as well. Doc Oc at Trunks, Mysterio at Gohan, and I got Shocker who right away tried to simply grab me by the back of my shirt. I swept his leg and elbowed his gut lightly, and he went down in a heap. He got up slowly and fired his electric blast at me. I put up a ki shield and watched it bounce off harmlessly. His eyes widened shortly before his blast came back at him and seemed to overload his suit. He tried to fire again, only to realize that the blast had screwed up his suit, so he did the only thing he could think of, run. I let him run out of the room, and observed the quick battles going on around me. Rhino was implanted in a far wall, not moving, but not dead either. Doc Oc was on the ground, missing 2 of his mechanical arms. Mysterio tried his multiple image trick with the holograms, but that would never work on a fighter like Gohan. He met the wall next and stopped his attack quite abruptly. Fisk stood in his place, and looked like he had just shit his pants.
"Next one baldy, or are you finally gonna give up?" Trunks mocked.
"Hardly," Fisk ran out of the room only to return right away with an old man, a fancy gun pointed at his head. "Surrender now!" Fisk ordered. Instead Gohan calmly walked straight towards Fisk and Mr. Harding.
"I am not joking around boy!" Fisk shouted, then pointed his gun at Gohan and fired. Fisk slightly smiled, but quickly gasped when Gohan kept coming forward and held out the bullet in his hand.
"Here you lost this," Gohan grinned and grabbed the gun out of Fisk's hand quickly. While Fisk was trying to figure out how he got the gun from him, he watched in horror as Gohan crushed it in his palm and tossed the metal aside. Fisk let go of Mr. Harding and ran for his life, the Cat rushed past Gohan and chased him down through his building.
"Fancy that, Fisk being chased down by his own doing," Spiderman laughed.
"Well thank you Spiderman and you boys for helping us. I don't know if there's a cure, or if she would even want it now, but I know that everything will work out," Mr. Harding said.
Spiderman looked up and suddenly gasped, "Hey didn't you guys say something about the full moon being a problem?" Instinctively Goten, Trunks and I looked out the skylight and saw the moon full and bright in the sky.
"Damnit!" I shouted as the transformation began to trigger in my body. Gohan felt the ki spike and rushed over to get Goten and Trunks out of view of the moon, I was already to far gone to stop it. But they had also gotten enough of a look to start up, their eyes glazed red. Gohan chopped them both in the back of the head and watched them fall unconscious.
"Whew, that was close," Gohan remarked, wiping his brow.
Then he set his eyes on me, "I thought they said you weren't gonna change!" he shouted.
"Relax, my change is...diffe...different," I spat out as my face changed. He didn't seem to relax until a few seconds later when he realized that I was not getting any bigger. Of course this was only the second time I had transformed, so it was still painful and I wasn't even close to used to it, however the added energy sure felt good.
When my change finished, I sighed slightly, "Sorry to keep it from you Gohan, you were bound to find out eventually. Vegeta requested that I tell no one, he got the first look at it," I said, a little sad to keep a secret like this.
Gohan just laughed, "Too bad these two wouldn't transform in the same way, oh well nobody is hurt. As for these two I had better remove those tails for keeps," Gohan said, pulling them clean out. Spiderman was still gawking at me, as was Mr. Harding.
"So now you're a werewolf?" Spidey asked, clueless to what actually happened.
"Not exactly, but had I transformed the way a normal Saiyan would, you would be running for your life from a giant gorilla. How's that sound?" I said, my tone fierce.
He stepped back, "I see, glad you didn't..." Shortly after that, Cat came back in without Fisk.
"I let fatass go, he isn't worth the chase...whoa what happened here...and what is that!" she screeched looking over in my direction.
I frowned, if it could've been noticed, "Thanks, I'll remember that in my book of compliments," I growled, stepping out of view of the moonlight and slowly reverting back to normal. As my body shifted back around, I bent down and clasped my knees, gasping for breath.
"Oh sorry, I didn't know it was you kid. Is that what the moon does?" she asked.
"Depends on the person I guess. Close enough," I gasped between breaths, the change was still not a normal thing to get used to. Then I heard a crash and explosion, coming from where Fisk had been. Spiderman and the Cat ran over there while Gohan moved the boys farther from the skylight.
He came over and placed his hand on my shoulder, "You okay there?"
"Yeah, that transformation is a bitch and leaves me exhausted," I said, standing back up.
"I know the feeling, let's stay away from that moon tonight," Gohan suggested. I nodded as Spiderman ran back in.
"The green Goblin just broke in and stole something, apparently it's some kind of dimensional portal technology. He could open another dimension with it and possibly cause great problems, like universal destruction!" Spidey said, panicked.
"Well unfortunately with that full moon out, we can't go out to help until it sets. Just find us a place and let us rest for the night and we can help in the morning," Gohan said. I nodded in agreement, noticing that he didn't mention food, but then again, I wasn't hungry now. I guess healing lady's effects lasted a little while, but rather it lasted until the morning was iffy at best. Not only that but the transformation feeling left me sore like I had the flu, so a meal really didn't sound too good anymore.
"Well I know Fisk has sleeping quarters around here somewhere, or you could just use his jail like facilities," Cat suggested.
"That'll do, just somewhere to sleep. We don't care where, just somewhere," Gohan said, picking up the boys in each arm.
"Whatever you say, hot stuff!" Cat said anxiously, causing Gohan to flush red again, "This way." After a bit of walking, Cat pointed out one of the cells as I opened the door and shut it behind me, wanting my rest. I sensed Gohan putting Goten and Trunks in another one and climbing in one himself. Then Cat and Spiderman left to the other side of the building, where I felt a faint sign of Fisk still around. Shrugging it off, I let sleep take me off to dream land.
Interlude 15.1 –Goblin's plan
"Fisk, that portal generator the Goblin stole, what were you planning to do with it?" Spiderman demanded as Cat had Fisk by the throat.
"Well, my dear, I was interested in releasing Electro, the Red Skull's son. Only this time I found a way to control him, before the goblin broke in and destroyed that. I suspect he wants to free him as well, only he wont be able to control him, what a fool," Fisk mocked the Goblin's name.
"Well then, I guess I'll blame you later, right now I am waiting on my friends to rest and recuperate," Spiderman accidentally said without thinking.
"Those people need rest?" Fisk caught on quickly.
"Thanks to your skylight they do, apparently they turn into destructive creatures when they catch a look at the moon when it's full. Fortunately they were able to prevent it from happening, but a few were knocked unconscious," Spiderman continued supplying the information.
"Interesting, do they need a job?" Fisk asked in curiosity.
His question got him a fist from the Cat, "Can it Fisk! Now get outta here before I kick your ass some more!"
"Very well my dear, but this is my home too, maybe I should have you arrested for trespass..." he got another punch from the Cat before shutting up.
"You can come back in tomorrow you tub of lard!" she yelled at him as he hastily exited. Spiderman hung upside down from the ceiling, deep in thought.
"So Spider, what's the plan?" Cat asked.
"Well I'm trying to figure out why the goblin would even want to release such a dangerous being such as Electro. Surely Electro will destroy him once he's free, that's what he about did to his own father. Maybe the reason has something to do with why the Saiyans are here. They said something about some old wizard sending them through dimensions to fight enemies, maybe the goblin is being manipulated a little. Despite the fact he is generally insane," Spidey said.
"Guess we'll find that out later Spider, I wish that hunk Gohan would wake up, he's cute," Cat purred, literally. Spidey looked down about that statement, but said nothing to that end.
"Well sunrise is in a few hours, I suppose those four might be hungry when they wake up. I'm not much of a cook, where could we take them? They blend in pretty well except for those tails, and they don't seem the type to reveal secrets on identities?" Cat asked.
"Cat, I never told you who I was, and I know yours, I suppose that's not very fair is it?" Spidey said, starting to pull his mask off.
"You don't have to Spider, I know why you hide it, and maybe I'm better off not knowing," Cat said.
"Nah, not many people know anyway. Besides I would think anyone could've figured it out by now," Spidey said, pulling his mask off to reveal himself as Peter Parker.
"Peter! I don't believe it!" Cat said, astonished.
"So are you done amusing yourself now you blasted wizard!" Vegeta roared at the top of his lungs. It had been two days since he had tossed the boys out of the house for his personal time and when they did not show up in his ki scans he went looking for them along with Piccolo.
"Actually I am quite impressed Vegeta, those boys have defeated everything that has been thrown at them. I suppose after they beat this one, and I know they will, I could end it. But there are many other worlds I could send them to fight enemies. Funny though, it seems that boy Verto knows about these places, I wonder how?" The mage pondered.
"STEP ON IT!" Vegeta roared with impatience.
The wizard remained calm, "Now remember, harm me and I will not bring them back. So keep that in mind monkey brain!" the old wizard cackled.
"And remember what will happen if you don't Wizard. Kami remembers the way he easily could've destroyed you in a moments notice when he saved you from Garlic, so keep that in mind," Piccolo uttered in his deadly Namek tone.
"I see your point. I have one other challenge for them to meet though. They can beat single enemies, I wonder how they would do against many, and I don't mean just a few," the mage pondered.
"It does not matter, they will wipe out whatever you had in mind!" Vegeta smirked with pride.
"We'll see about that, Saiyan, we will see," the mage gloated.
