AN- well, you bastards didn't give me any reviews (at least not as I wrote this. damn and its 24 hour update rule!) but I'll give you a chapter anyway. See what you guys think, and let me know how ya feel! And nope, I don't own any db or dbz characters. (Wouldn't it be funny if Akira Toriyama wrote something? ie- AN- yes, I do own all the dbz characters. I am Akira Toryiyama. Booyah!) but alas, he is not I. (confused?) Let the show begin!

Yamcha had just finished gathering the firewood and used a light ki blast to start a fire. He sat down to wait for Krillin and Tien to return from gathering fish. Sighing, he put his chin on his hands. He began to speak his thoughts aloud.

"I can't believe how far we've all come. I remember when I first met
Goku."

Puar came flying into Yamcha's thieving den. "Lord Yamcha! We have prey!"

Yamcha sat up from sharpening his blade. Really? Who would be dumb enough to travel through the desert during the day?"

"Well, apparently a young boy and a pig."

"A pig? Not exactly it's natural habitat, now is it?"

Puar laughed. "Perhaps the boy is a delivery service. Did you order food?"

Yamcha returned the laugh as he stood up, sheathing his sword. "No, but it looks like we have fresh pork for tonight, eh Puar?"

Yamcha and Puar jumped on Yamcha's capsule bike and sped to the spot where Puar had spotted the food. Yamcha put on his most menacing frown and executed one of those cool stops where the bike spins around and sprays the dude you want to intimidate. He jumped off his bike and pulled out his sword.

"You there! Boy! Hand me the pig and any capsules you have and you will live!"

The boy did not appear to be affected, but the pig let out a scream.
"Bandit! He's come to kill us! Goku! Do something!"

The boy named Goku smiled and dropped into a defensive stance. "You
shouldn't steal things from people."

Yamcha laughed as he accepted the challenge and assumed a fighting stance of his own. A boy that young with such an impressive stance? Who is this child? Out loud he said, "Boy, you would be best to stand down! I am Yamcha, and my name is feared throughout this region!"

Now the pig squealed even louder. "You're Yamcha? Goku! Let's run! Now! You might be good, but Yamcha will lay you out! We gotta go!"

Yamcha laughed. "I see my reputation spreads so far out as to even reach soft city creatures such as yourself! Boy! I suggest you follow the pig and flee! But be warned, I will still track you, and a wolf never loses his prey!"

Goku pulled out his power pole and attacked Yamcha with a swinging down strike. What speed! Yamcha quickly threw his sword in between the sword and his face, barely blocking the blow. Yamcha ran forward to press the attack, but was knocked back as the boy's staff shot forward, catching him in the stomach. His pole grew?

Yamcha propped himself up on one knee, clutching at his stomach. His sword had been lost from the blow. "Tell me, boy. Where did you get that staff? I have heard of only one such weapon that grows at command. The nyo bu. Tell me! How did one such as yourself come to posses such a weapon?"

Goku smiled. "You mean my power pole? My grandpa gave it to me!"

"You...your grandpa?!"

Goku nodded.

"But the fabled owner of the weapon was the great master Son Gohan!"

"You know my grandpa?"

Aha. So this is the grandson of Gohan? His ability begins to make sense...

"I see. Fate may have smiled on you so far, but do not let down your guard. Barehanded, I am even stronger than I am armed!"

Suddenly a loud series of groans emitted from the boy's stomach. As he looked down in hunger, Yamcha choose that moment to strike.

"Ruga fufu ken!! Power of the wolf!!"

There was a slight disturbance in the air that Gohan had told Goku meant the use of ki. Yamcha's ki powered fists flew forward, slamming the nyu bu out of Goku's hands, and pummeling the boy senseless. The final strike was an extended double palm attack, and the force of the blow coupled with a small blast of barely visible ki sent Goku flying through the air. Yamcha grinned as he turned towards the pig.

"The boy was strong, but he has no true battle experience. Now then, should I assume by your cowardly shaking that you posses no such strength?"

Oolong shook his head, not daring to make eye contact with the bandit. Puar began laughing evilly. (AN- squeak squeak squeak. Dumb puar. Heh.) Suddenly, all the rubble that Goku had been piled under went flying through the air. Yamcha turned in surprise as Goku rushed at him full speed.

"Are you joking?! Do you need another taste of my Rufa fufu ken?"

"Ha! The fist of the wolf fang? Try my 'jan ken pow'!!!"

"Rock paper....?"

Goku threw forward his fist, collding with Yamcha's block. "Rock!!!"

Then he stuck out his pointer and middle fingers, poking Yamcha in the eyes. "Scissors!"

Finally Goku imitated the stunned bandit, throwing his hand out in a palm strike, emitting a small amount of ki like his grandfather had shown him. "Paper!!!!!!!!"

Yamcha flew across the desert, slamming into the ground and clutching at his eyes. "That does it!!" No one makes a fool of me!!! Yamcha dashed forward, summoning forth the power of the wolf.

Fate decided at this time that it would be funny to have a certain annoying girl sit up and yawn. Yamcha and the girl locked eyes. Such beauty.... I've never seen such... oh god! She's looking at me! What do I do? What do I do? Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod!!!! Kami, what do I do?!?!?!?AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

The last scream in Yamcha's thoughts burst forth into reality, Yamcha screaming at the top of his lungs. He jumped onto his bike and took off, his scream slowly fading the further he got.

Yamcha smiled as he thought of 'the good old days'. Things were so much different now. I can actually look at a girl without screaming... Not that it matters. Bulma ended up marrying Vegeta, of all people. I don't even matter anymore. Can't even help defend the earth... How did it get this bad? I remember when...

"Yamcha! Yamcha!" Krillin's frantic screaming finally broke through Yamcha's thoughts. Yamcha looked at Krillin with a confused look. "What's up Krillin?"

"Your foot, moron!!!!! Your foot is on fire!!"

Yamcha looked down and sure enough, during his daydream, he had stuck his foot into the fire he had started. Yamcha hopped down toward the river, throwing himself in in an attempt to douse out his foot. Krillin laughed at the spectacle. "Yamcha, you never change..."

Yamcha growled as he climbed out of the river. "Can it, Krillin. I was just lost in thought, that's all."

"Well, anyways, I managed to grab a few fish. We can throw it over the fire, or we could just light your leg again."

"I said can it!"

Krillin chuckled as he began preparing the fish for the dinner they would have once Tien returned.

AN- Okay, first things first, I'm pretty sure I misspelled "nyu bo" and the Japanese wording of "Wolf fang fist" Im doing this from memory, so if someone would like to NICELY correct me, it would be greatly appreciated. Secondly, I realize I left some parts out, I just didn't find them terribly important. Lastly, this isn't going to be merely a recap of db/dbz. There will be other stuff, all revolving around the humans. Its just that the first few sagas actually USED the human characters, so there isn't much room for creative licsence. Besides, it adds a nice backdrop for people who don't know much of dragonball. Which if that is true, I highly recommend buying at the zstore. 40 for a dvd saga box set! Dragonball is a lot better than Z in a lot of ways, I highly suggest at least watching some! For people who actually know whats going on right now, patience, and things will hopefully get a little more interesting as it goes on! Thanks, and please, review!!!!!!

Also, once I feel a little more ambitious, I will include the lyrics to angels at the end of one of these chapters.Klyde
