Chapter 116
Suddenly, King Kold found himself with an arrow in his chest, piercing right through his armor and pinning him to the tree. He was stunned, and his hands relaxed. He priestess dropped to the ground, leaving Freeza confused.
"What the....... Papa, what happened?! Who did that?!"
From a distance.....
"PHWEEEEEEEE-WEEEEEET!"
Freeza, the priestess, and the Ginyuu Force turned their heads to see a rather small figure wearing a half-face mask and black wolf shroud. The priestess's eyes watered at the sight of her new hero.
'A fellow Mononoke down here........ what, no halo? She's still alive?!'
"Another one.....probably here for thegirl." Freeza snarled, then turned to his men. "Forget the android, get that punk over there!"
"Right!" All four shouted. Leaving the knocked out 17 on the ground, the four special eliters stood in front of Genji, then started posing and chanting in unison.
"Who! Who! Ginyuu! Don't mess with us, ya fuu! Bataa, Jiis, Guldo, Recoome!"
Then, they all struck a final pose.
"GINYUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Genji was not at all impressed.
In fact, after a few seconds pause, he held up a cartoonish sign that read in bold black letters: "BAKA BUNCH!" ((A.N: Baka=fool / idiot. Also, sign courtesy of Acme Hour))
All four members of the Ginyuu Force face vaulted.
"Hey!" Jiis shouted in offence. "No one talks like that to the Ginyuu Force! You little punk!"
"Actually, he didn't say anything...." Recoome muttered, scratching his temple with one finger.
"Well, he's going to pay for it all the same!" Bataa growled through his fangs.
"Let's get 'em!" Guldo cried out.
Then, all four of them jumped for Cell.
The boy pulled out the Emishi short sword, and charged for them.
**Come and get yours!**

Genji expected the battle to be long, hard and gruesome.......
........but it was over in a few seconds.
One slash in the stomach each, and all four soldiers were down on the ground. Genji walked for Freeza, his bow in one hand and the sword in the other. The galactic warlord was in shock. His elite team was beaten by a boy!
But, this situation was starting to take a familiar turn.
A boy..........with a sword........
The same as Freeza's Super Saiyajin killer!
Only the fact that it wasn't the same boy kept Freeza from panicking. The space lord quickly regained control of himself. He just smiled and shook his head, as King Kold pulled the arrow from his chest and examined it with curiosity.
"My, aren't we the bold one?!" Freeza chuckled. "Either that, or I need to replace my men."
"Stone arrowheads?" Kold wondered as he looked more closely at the arrow.
Genji decided not to send any messages. He had nothing to say to this Freeza or Kold.
"Strong silent type, eh?" Freeza chuckled again. "Just fine with me. Enemies of mine are usually that way after I kill them."
Looping two fingers into the end of the hilt, Genji dropped the sword and held up his wooden bow. Freeza barely tensed at the sight, instead he laughed.
"This fool fights with sticks and stones!" he giggled behind his fingers. "What is there to be afraid of?!"
Genji suddenly smirked.
He fired the arrow...........
...............and it shot right through Freeza's chest and just above King Kold's head.
As the giant whimpered about his close call, the priestess finally darted off to 17's side. There was finally room for Genji to finish off the crooks.
Freeza got back up to his feet, streaks of blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. However, the arrow wound had gone through so swiftly and with such power that it wasn't bleeding at all!
"You little punk!" he screamed, pointing his finger at Genji. Genji took a hand off his bow just as Freeza fired his lazer beam again.
Genji fired a ki blast.................
.................then reached a hand to his quiver............
...............loaded his bow with one arrow...............
..............pulled the drawstring................
...............the ki blast hit Freeza's blast...............
..............there was an explosion of smoke and light............
..............Genji fired the arrow.................
..............the stone arrowhead stuck into Freeza's forehead...........
..............and the smoke began to clear.
That was when Freeza fell over. King Kold watched helplessly from where he was as his son went unconcious.
"You........little monster!" Kold snarled with a shiver of fear. "I....I should.....teach you.....a lesson.........you.....little......you....."
Genji pointed the sword at King Kold.
**GO AWAY!**
"EEEEEEEEEEK!"
Kold scooped up his son and took off like a fired bullet. The Ginyuu Force would be unconcious for another hour, so the danger was gone as soon as King Kold was out of sight.

Genji rushed to the priestess's side as she looked 17 over.
**Are you alright?!**
"Yes." she nodded. "Thank you." After nodding at 17 as he stirred, she stood up to look the boy in the face. "I didn't notice you were a boy until you came a little closer. Why are you dressed like a priestess?"
Genji face faulted, then quickly got back up.
**Oh, c'mon! Why does everyone bring that up?!**
The woman laughed behind her hand, then looked at the boy more closely as he pushed the mask past his head, reveiling his face. He certainly was a handsome young boy, with her hair color.....
......but something about that face was familiar......
......and those eyes........
"You.....look familiar to me." the priestess mentioned. "Have we met?"
Genji smiled, but before he could answer, 17 groaned himself awake. The priestess knelt back down to him.
"17, are you okay?" she asked urgently.
"No prob." the android chuckled. "This is nothing." Genji and the priestess helped him back up to a stand. "How about you, kid?"
As Genji nodded, the priestess looked more closely at the boy.
"17, who is this? He's not dead."
"Oh, that's a long story. This is Genji, and he has this problem....."
"Genji?"
As the woman looked more closely at Genji, he smiled at her, and felt ready to cry.
'I recognized you......please recognize me.........
'......woman from my dreams.........'
The priestess put her hands on Genji's shoulders, looking over the vaguely familiar shape of his face. Those eyes haunted her from memories of long ago.
Pretty eyes..........such pretty eyes............just like...........
"Genji.....DragonLore?" the priestess asked.
A tear rolled from Genji's eye as he nodded.
**Hi, mom.**
The priestess gasped, and her eyes began to water. She looked over Genji, remembering him from when he was a tiny baby, and she choaked into sobbing.
"Oh, Genji-chan! It's you!"
She pulled him into a tight embrace as she cried on his shoulder. He just smiled and let tears fall from his eyes.
It was his mother, the one he never knew! The woman he heard so many stories about, and always looked up to. It was the beautiful woman he dreamed about, singing in the grass plains and looking like an angel. Here she was, in his arms, so happy to see him again.
He never felt a true mother's embrace in his life...............
........he got lost in the moment, feeling the warm comfort from all around made him cry even more.
17 blinked in confusion.
"Uh.....so, you two know each other? Masq, when did you two meet?"
High Priestess San Masquerade turned to 17 in mid sob.
"He's my son."
17's eyes became the size of dinner plates as mother and child once again swept themselves back into their emotional reunion.
Suddenly, King Kold found himself with an arrow in his chest, piercing right through his armor and pinning him to the tree. He was stunned, and his hands relaxed. He priestess dropped to the ground, leaving Freeza confused.
