The Gallio Saga





Chapter 17 Carnival





It was another normal day at the Masaki household. Kiyone was yelling at Miyoshi for causing them to be late all the time, Ayeka was watching a soap opera, Ryoko was harassing Tenchi, Sasami who was better, was cooking, and Gohan and Piccolo were out training. A couple of times you could hear explosions. Gohan was undergoing a very rough training course with Piccolo. This match was a lot harder and more like a battle of life and death. Piccolo didn't hold not even an inch of his power. Gohan quickly blocked one of Piccolo's attacks, but Piccolo didn't give a second to counter. Piccolo quickly punched him in the face and kicked Gohan into a tree.

'Man what's up with Piccolo today?' Gohan thought. Piccolo teleported behind Gohan and elbowed him to the ground. Gohan slowly got up. He quickly punched Piccolo in the stomach, and then kicked him in the cheek. Piccolo extended his arm and grabbed Gohan by the neck. "Alright Piccolo you win," Gohan said. Piccolo smirked and let go, Gohan dropped to the ground. "You're a little weaker than before," Piccolo said. "What are you talking about?" Gohan asked. "Lately your fighting abilities are getting sloppy, maybe you're a little rusty," Piccolo said. "Yeah maybe. I'm not sure what happened, but Gallio hasn't sent another soldier down here, I wonder why?" Gohan said. "We've only defeated one of his top four soldiers why did he stop I wonder," Piccolo said. Then a huge loud noise came from nowhere. "Can we continue this conversation after breakfast I'm starving," Gohan said. Piccolo smirked and said, "You've defiantly inherited you're father's appetite Gohan."



By the time they got back, breakfast just started. Gohan literally jumped in his spot and started eating like he was under a time limit. "I'm surprised he hasn't eaten us out of house and home yet," Tenchi said. "He didn't even change out of those ripped rags yet," Ayeka said. "That was great!" Gohan said after he had eaten. "I just can't get used to that," Kiyone said. "Yeah, he's eaten 20 bowls of food, and 15 plates," Washu said. "Sorry guys it's that I get so hungry after I train," Gohan said sheepishly. "Well he is his father's son," Piccolo said.



Later Gohan went exploring with Sasami and Ryo-Oki. He said that there were so many places he hasn't seen yet after all this time. While they were walking, Sasami asked him a question. "Hey Gohan what happened after Watt blew away?" "Why do you ask?" Gohan said. "I just really want to know because I was really worried that you were dead." "Well let's see I can just barely remember," Gohan said remembering that day. "Well after that ball blew up I landed in a spot of the forest I haven't seen yet. I saw flashes of my life before my closed eyes. I didn't move muscle. Then my dad appeared in a dream I had, he told me to wake up, and surprisingly I did," Gohan said. "What happened to your dad?" Sasami asked. "He died a year ago," Gohan said sadly.



"I'm sorry, Gohan," Sasami said. "Yeah, but I know somewhere up there he's watching me, everything I do. I guess that's how he knew I was in danger. He's like a guardian," Gohan said. Later they found a clearing in the woods and sat down. "Boy, there sure are a lot of places to explore," Gohan said. "Yeah some these places I haven't been to yet," Sasami said. Back at the house, Tenchi was once again, Washu's "Guinea Pig." He had all these wires on him, and his tongue was sticking out thanks to a robotic arm, and all he on were his boxers. "Washu, how long is this going to take?" Tenchi asked. "Not too long," Washu said as she was typing. "You said that half a hour ago," Tenchi said. "You can't rush science," Washu said.

"Come on what's this about anyway?" Tenchi asked. "I'm trying to figure out how you got to that new level of Light Hawk Wing," Washu said. "Come on Washu it was probably Tsunami," Tenchi said. "Tenchi I checked my files, that power came from you. Besides if it was Tsunami I would of sensed her." (I'm sure if that's right, but work with me here.) "Yeah well, I'm still not sure how I did it." "Tenchi if they're really are levels beyond that level it could really help in our fight against Gallio." "I only came in her to ask you what you're doing for the festival this year, it's coming up in three days," Tenchi said. "Saving the world is way more important than some festival!" Washu shouted. "Besides I'm doing my haunted house again," she said. "Washu that place could make a kid cause a whole ocean in his pants!" Tenchi shouted. "Well I'll turn it down a little," Wash said, and continued her tests.



During lunch, Piccolo and Washu were outside talking. "How are things going with Tenchi?" Piccolo asked. "Well as many tests I do he just can't seem to go to that new level of Light Hawk Wings. It seems that he just forgot how he did, he can go to the first level of Light Hawk Wings no problem, but this one it might take a while." "A while maybe to long," Piccolo said. "So how things with Gohan?" "He has a great power in him. But he just doesn't sense it, and his fighting abilities are dropping too he's just to busy playing around," Piccolo said. "Well girls can have that effect on a kid," Washu said. "Those have great powers in them and they don't even know it," Piccolo said. "It might take some time for them to bring it out." Washu said. "Yeah I guess."



Three days later the carnival started. While everyone, including Piccolo had a booth to take care of; Gohan was inside the house waiting for Sasami. "Hey Gohan I'm ready," she said. Gohan looked at her. 'Man she looks really good tonight,' he thought. "So, uh. Let's go," Gohan said at a loss of words. "Boy this festival looks great," Gohan said looking at all the great stuff. "Hey you two," Tenchi said. "Hey Tenchi, what are you doing?" Gohan asked. "I have a fishing booth, you take these nets and catch the fish in water and you keep them," Tenchi explained. "You two want to try?" he asked. "Sure," they both said. To Gohan this was pretty hard, but caught on after a while. When they were done, they both had a plastic of water full of goldfish. "You two did great," Tenchi said. "Thanks," they both said.



Then, they saw Ryoko who looked like she had a fishing booth too. "Hey Ryoko," Sasami said. "Well you kids want to try out my booth?" she asked. "Didn't you try this last year and they closed it down?" Sasami asked. "Well this time it perfectly safe," Ryoko reassured them. "Well okay, Gohan do you want to try this out?" Sasami asked. "Yeah sure," Gohan said. "Then you'll need this," Ryoko said, and put a scuba mask on him. "Jump in," she said. "Ryoko my hand can barely fit in there," Gohan said. "Come on kid, it looks like that," Ryoko said, and she pulled him in the water. Gohan was surprised at first when he hit the water; he thought he would hit his head. But when he opened his eyes, it looked like he was in a lake. Gohan swam down a little, when he saw a giant fish he stopped. 'How can she fit such a big fish in here?' he thought. 'Man it's dark, I can barely see my hand in front of my face, looks like I'll have to make light,' he thought and went Super Saiyan.



Meanwhile on the surface Ryoko and Sasami saw the golden glow. "Ryoko how did you do that?" Sasami asked. "Do what?" "Make a lake in this small pool?" "Oh it's simple really, the lake is in another dimension, like Washu's lab, and the bath we have," Ryoko explain. "He sure has been down there a while," Sasami said. Gohan on the other hand saw the fish and swam up to it. The fish charged, but Gohan did an uppercut on the fish. The fish started to sink; Gohan quickly grabbed it by the tail, and jumped out. "Boy that fun!" he said. "Glad to see you enjoyed it," Ryoko said.



"Hey it's Washu let's go see what her booth is," Sasami said. "Okay." "Hey Washu," Sasami greeted. "Hey kids," Washu said. "Welcome to my fun house," she said. "A fun house come on Gohan it will be fun," Sasami said. "Okay." When they walked through the door, it was nothing but darkness. "This doesn't seem very fun," Gohan said. They walked for a while then they started falling. When they stopped, they were on a bridge over boiling lava. "Boy Washu has a weird sense of fun," Gohan said. "I think we have to walk across the bridge," Sasami said. While they were walking the rope snapped and the bridge fell. Gohan grabbed Sasami and flew as fast as he could back up. Then some rocks started to fall towards them. Gohan blasted away as many as he could, but there were too many. Then they started falling towards the lava. Finally, they landed back at the festival.



"So how was it?" Washu asked. "You really have a weird taste of fun," Gohan said rubbing his head. "Glad to see you two enjoyed it," she said. "So what do you want do next Sasami?" Gohan asked. "I know how about we go get something to eat," she suggested. "Yeah sure I'm getting kinda hungry myself," Gohan said. "I'm surprised your stomach hasn't gone off yet," Sasami said. "Hey there's Miyoshi and Kiyone," Gohan said. "Hey you two," Kiyone said. "What will it be?" Miyoshi asked. "What do you serve?" Gohan asked. "Beef noodles," Kiyone said. "Okay I'll take 21 packs of beef noodles, what about you Sasami?" Gohan asked. "I'll just have one," she said. "Okay 22 beef noodles coming up, good thing I bought extra ingredients," Kiyone said.



When there food was finished they two sat down and chowed down. "Man this good," Gohan said with food in his mouth. "You know, you shouldn't eat so fast," Sasami said. So far, Gohan ate 13 boxes of the stuff. " Yeah, but this is so good," Gohan said throwing another box on the ground. When they were done, they walked around more. "I wonder Ayeka's booth is?" Sasami wondered. "I wonder what Piccolo's booth is going to be?" Gohan said. Then they heard Ayeka laughing. They saw her at some kind of shooting booth and Ryoko dolls were the targets. "It figures," Sasami sighed. Then Gohan saw Piccolo who had a shooting booth too, but the guns were missing. "Hey Piccolo where the guns for your booth?" Gohan asked. "You don't need them," Piccolo smirked. "Then how are you going to shoot the targets?" Gohan asked.



"With your finger," Piccolo said. "Uh." "You blast the things with your energy," Piccolo said. "Piccolo are you crazy? What if all these people see?" Gohan asked. "Don't worry so do want to try it or not, there's a prize if you get all them," Piccolo said. Pointing at a Dende doll. "How did you make a Dende doll?" Gohan asked. "Washu," he said simply. "Makes sense," Gohan said. "Okay I'll give it a try," Gohan said making his finger look like a gun. Then the targets came up. One line had Raddiz, Vegeta, Nappa, and the Sibermen. The next line had Freiza, and the Ginyu Force. The Third line Had Garlic Jr, and his men. The fourth line had Android 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and Cell.



"Weird targets," Gohan, said. Then the targets started to move. "Okay here I go," Gohan said, and fired at a thin ki blast at the Raddiz figure. It got blown back. Then he aimed for Vegeta. Another bull's eye. Gohan kept getting Bull's eyes until the last target reminded, the Cell target. He shot another thin ki blast it missed. Then he tried another one it missed again. Gohan kept on firing and firing until Piccolo said, "You have one more shot Gohan make good." Gohan carefully aimed, fallowing the target with his gun like finger, and then when he had the perfect angle, he fired. Then it was a bull's eye! "Gohan this is yours," Piccolo said and handed him the Dende doll. "You won Gohan," Sasami said. "Uh Sasami I want you to have this doll I won, I don't really need it," Gohan said and handed Sasami the doll. "Thanks Gohan," Sasami said and gave him hug. Gohan blushed heavily and said, "Your welcome."

Later the festival was over. Everyone was in the living room counting the money they all made. "I made a lot money," Tenchi said, "How did you guys do?" "Miyoshi and I actually made some this time, and we ran out of food too," Kiyone said. "Yeah partly because a lot of people like beef noodles, and since Gohan and Sasami came, and Gohan ordered 21 boxes," Miyoshi said. "I didn't make that much," Ryoko said. "Probably because your booth was a safety hazard," Ayeka said. "And like you weren't acting like a maniac shooting at all those dolls!!!" Ryoko shouted. "I don't really need money," Piccolo said. "Come on Piccolo you had to of made some money," Tenchi said. Piccolo reached in a compartment of his cape and took out all this money. "How did you get so much?" Ryoko asked. "A lot kids wanted to see if I was real then when tried to shot the targets I mentally shot them myself. Then their moms gave me extra for showing them a great time." "Boy you sure have that effect on kids," Washu said. "Speaking of kids, where are Gohan and Sasami?" Tenchi asked. "I think they went to bed as soon as they came in," Kiyone said

Meanwhile, while Gohan slept like a log, Sasami was still awake looking at the doll Gohan gave her. "He sure did showed me a great time at the festival," she said. "Good night Gohan."
