Chapter 7: Seeds of a Crossover
------Purgatory, STCA, D-building, Third-Person P.O.V. --------
Goten walked down the Halls of STCA. To his left was his best friend, Trunks Briefs. Within the past year, 14 Goten year-old and 15 year-old Trunks had become quite popular. Trunks as flirtatious as ever, sleeping at girls' houses more often than his own. Goten, on the other hand, had actually progressed in his training, in more ways than one. He was actually thinking more rapidly now, though he was unaware of it. His movements were quick, yet careful, and his strength had greatly increased, as did Trunks'. But what had really changed about him was his mind and appearance. What once seemed like an innocent child was now a mature young-man. His face had grown more handsome, and his attitude was more mature, he himself was wiser, more experienced. And believe it or not, he had begun to stuffy girls, and soon understood just WHY they've been chasing him this past year. In short, Goten was a boy in the process of becoming a man.
Trunks on the other hand, having already gone through puberty, had not changed as much. Yes, he had learned many new things, and yes, he was stronger, smarter, and faster, but he'd already gone through the difficulty of puberty. For him, The STCA was like as a different version of High school.
Now as the duo continued to walk on, they approached Mrs. Johnson's office for their daily prank routine.
"Okay," began Trunks "First things first, do your remember your code name?"
"Yes, it's Porcupine, and yours is…"
"Sexy-guy"
"Cant you change that!?!"
"Nope."
"Fine. But don't blame when people start to stare." And thus they began the operation, Trunks entering through the front door, and Goten climbing up into the ventilation system.
A few feet away, the 12 year-old purple-haired wonder, Meribell Leatherman, and her fiery haired and red-eyed companion of the same age, Garet Anderson, stood gazing at the demi-sayajins going about their plan.
"What do you suppose their doing, Garet?" Meri looked at her friend quizzically "Do you think their finally going to pull of the 'Spider Act'?"
"Maybe, maybe not" replied the red-haired battlemage-in-training. "They could be doing the 'Paint Conditioner project'…"
"The one where they load up Mrs. Johnson's air conditioner with a of bunch grey paint?"
"That's the one." Garet still wondered how the two pulled off these wild stunts, or how they found enough time in between classes to do them. He turned back towards his companion only to find her sighing dreamily "Thinking of Goten again?" he asked.
She let out a heart-broken sigh "Yes. If only he knew how much I loved him, then maybe he would consider my feelings!"
"Like the other 2,000 girls that are after him? Face it, Mer, the guys not ready for a relationship, besides, you of all people, know best that a guy is wanted even more when he is unattainable."
She sighed "Yeah..." Just then heard a an ear-piercing scream and saw a swarm of rats flood out the doors of Mrs. Johnson's class, carrying Song Goten and Trunks Briefs away in safety, while the terrible twosome laughed away hysterically while being carried away into the horizon… er- I mean up the stairs.
"Hmm…." Garet examined the situation closely. Despite his occupation-to-be, Garet had a keen eye for details "It seems the two have pulled of the Rat Hive experiment, with a touch their 'Wild West Getaway' escape-plan"
"Ah, one of their better pranks" around that time, Mrs. Johnson had begun chasing after the devious duo with rats clinging off her body, two of them had already gotten through biting through the first layer of her high-heels.
And so, the School day continued on normally, Goten and Trunks ran their daily patrols, taking care of the everyday problems. Trunks would spend more time near the girls' locker-room, and Goten would take quick trips to the cafeteria ever 10 minutes, as they could serve him so much at a time. Afterwards they would continue onto their first 2 classes, Universal History and Inter-galactic Languages. After that, they would spend the rest of the day with their mentor, Sirren.
-------Purgatory, Palace of Purgatory, Felix's Quarters, Third-Person-------
Such Normality did not reach the Lord of Purgatory at his Majestic Palace. No, for he was busy taking calls, managing Purgatory, and trying to find some aspirin all at the same time. It was at that moment that all of his work came to a halt as the doors to his quarters were slammed open. Felix turned his head towards the double doors to see who had dared disturb him in his moment of stress.
"Genesis, what do you want now? Can't you see I'm busy as hell!?!?!" the girl just grinned, ran up to him and gave him a kiss on his lips.
"Wha-mmph!" Felix pulled away in surprise" Gen, what the hell are you doing!?!?!" She just kept on grinning.
"We just got a lead on where Jack and Reena might be!" As soon as she said that, Felix found Genesis to be the most heavenly woman on earth "Iloveyou!Iloveyou!Iloveyou! ILOVEYOU!" He ran up to her and gave her a bear hug, er- more of a death squeeze.
"Felix…can't…breathe…" Genesis felt herself drift away from the world but before she could faint, Felix quickly pulled away.
"I'm so sorry, my beautiful friend, I just can't help but find today to be the most wonderful day ever! Don't you think so, love?" Genesis continued to stare in confusion.
What's gotten in to him? she thought.
"Well, I'm off to enjoy the world! See you later, honey!" and with that he was out the door and down the hall like a giddy school boy. Genesis simply sat there, staring off into space.
"Honey?..."
----Elswhere in the Purgatory Palace----
Felix continued to happily jog around his palace when he realized something. He never let Gen tell him what the lead was! And so he turned on his heel, and speeded down his own halls, knocking down his own dinner-to-be in the process.
"Sorry!" But he was out of sight before the chefs could get a word in.
A few for seconds and… he was back in his room. Genesis was still their staring off into space.
"Um, Gen, dear, sweetheart? I'm so sorry to bother but could please TELL me what the lead is?"
Genesis finally returned to the real world "Huh? Oh, ahem, yes Of course. As you know, there have been several dimensional rifts in the past few weeks. And as you know, we have sent exploration drones out to figure out where they may lead to. Well, one of them came back today, and it had brought along some interesting footage." Genesis pulled a recording out of her robe and inserted it into Felix's DVD player. The television atop it lighted up with the image of a barren desert, and some people standing around it. To Felix's surprise, the people in its vision consisted of some of his favorite anime characters. "As you can see, this does not appear to be normal. Even more interesting was when we had the drone stroll around town. We got an image of this" Gen fast forwarded the recording to where a lavender haired woman of about the age of 20 was being pushed around by a couple of dirty-haired men in black robes.
"Reena…" Felix whispered
"That's not all" said Genesis. The little drone followed the Reena and the men into a dark alley. Upon entering it, the woman gasps and a man with slick blue hair is seen chained against the wall.
Felix's eyes widened in disbelief "Jack! But how can this be? Jack was far stronger than the average human, how could they have chained him up like this!?!"
"That's just it" replied Genesis "The people doing this aren't ordinary at all" Felix's ears perked up.
"…Malgar?"
"No… something worse… something far worse."
…The abnormal silence mad Felix uneasy. Genesis saw his change in demeanor.
"I'm sorry Felix, but I'm afraid you can't take this one." Felix's eyes quickly perked up to meet with Genesis
"What do you mean?"
"Reena and Jack might notice you too quickly, your cover would be blown before you'd have a chance to do anything" Felix contemplated this for a moment.
"I see…"
"The problem still remains in finding someone to do the job" Genesis seemed to eye Felix, watching his moves as if they were his words "Can you think of anyone we might send?" At this, Felix grinned.
"I have someone in mind…"
Genesis smiled at her companion "You always do, Felix, you always do…"
-------Purgatory, STCA, Hallway, Third-Person-------
"And that's it for today! Remember Trunks, ruthless opponents will not hesitate to attack your groin!" Trunks stumbled out of the classroom, holding his hands between his legs in pain. Goten came out following, trying to hold in his laughter, and failing miserably. "It's not funny! Sirren just takes it too far, some times…"
"Well I don't think he would've today if you didn't spray paint his hair pink" at the mention of pink, Goten burst into another round of laughter. Only did he stop when he felt the sudden tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see 2 men wearing pitch black uniforms with the white Purgatory symbol slapped onto their left shoulder.
"Shadows…" Goten murmured to himself
"Were here for a Son Goten?" The men took a few steps forward.
"That would be me. Is there something wrong?"
"Lord Felix would like to have a word with you in the P.I.C. (Purgatory Intelligence Centre)"
"Felix? Why me? Why now?"
"It's very important. We must move quickly, Lord Felix expects us back in 15 minutes"
Goten grinned "How 'bout I top that time and make it back in 5?" And without a word, He jetted out the front of the school and took off into the semi-blue sky of purgatory. Goten already knew where the P.I.C. was, he'd seen the building many times before, yet he had never once entered it. The cityscape under him seemed to speed by faster then a bullet train. As soon as the building came into sight, he came to a halt and landed at the entrance of the building. The P.I.C. was an all-glass, dome-shaped building. The glass itself was tinted so dark, it was impossible to see through it, even with Sayaijin eyes. And so he took his first few steps towards the entrance of the building and found his way in through the glass door. Inside the building was a receptionist's desk with, handy that, a receptionist.
"Excuse me" the woman looked up to origin of the sound "I'm Son Goten. Felix said he wanted to talk to me?"
The brunette took one look at the boy and let out an exasperated sigh "Basement level-K, down the hall, fifth door on the right." Her voice seemed to come out as a dull, croaking noise.
"…Thanks…" Goten turned his head in the direction of the elevator. The lift's white outline made it stick out like a sore thumb. While moving towards it, he swore he heard a faint whisper that sounded like "…punk…"
As he entered, the elevator, Goten couldn't help but notice the many buttons on the side, ranging from 1, 7 and LOOBY to BL-C, BL-F and R-13. After a moment or two he found BL-K, which he thought to be "basement level-K." HE promptly pressed it and soon felt the ground under him become lighter. As the elevator came to a halt, and gravity was restored, Goten stepped out of the elevator and remembered the ladies words… …down the hall, fifth door on the right. Goten began walking forward and counted as he moved.
1…
2…
3…
4…
5.
This must be it he thought. The door had the letters 'I.D.G.' written on it. As he opened the door and walked in, he found himself in what seemed to be a command room, with electronics and machinery everywhere and uniformed personnel walking around everywhere. Even more mesmerizing was the large, hula-hoop-ish structure at the end of the gigantic room. Goten stood in awe, mesmerized by the view. Never had he seen anything like THIS!
Felix noticed Goten standing just outside the briefing room.
"Goten!" The boy snapped out of his trance-like state and turned his head towards the voice that called him. "Goten, get over here!"
The raven haired demi-sayajin walked into the smaller briefing room. There awards and metals of all sorts draped over the walls and random books were lined up on the bookshelves. The Desk the Felix sat behind had an assortment of nik-naks and gadgets that only seemed to be there for show. Emerald colored Leather chairs brought a "waiting room" feeling into the room.
"Sit down, Goten. We've got a situation on our hands."
"Wha?" Goten did as told, but kept his confused expression. "Felix, do you mind telling me where I am and why I'm here? Is there a point to all of this?"
"Yes, now shut up and listen, this is important. Approximately seven-hundred hours ago, we received 'intel' on the location of some very important people, V.I.P.'s if you will (A/N very-important-people, V.I.P., get it?). A young woman by the name of Reena Sidran and a demon man known as 'Jack' have been located on another plane of existence. Normally, on such occasions, I would take care of the problem myself, but as fate would have it, circumstances cannot allow me to go, so you are going to sub for me."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second! Plane of existence? Demon man? Sub for YOU? Could you repeat that?" Goten wasn't exactly you're everyday kid. He was used to weird stuff. He'd become a Super Sayajin at the age of 6 and fought a pink, alien named Buu, he'd fused with his best friend to become a near-unstoppable freak-a-zoid, and he'd made friends with a green man named Piccolo. Nope, Goten had seen a lot throughout his lifetime, but never had he heard of something like THIS!
"Goten, did you see that round thing outside?" He nodded "That's our Inter-dimensional Gate. It's only been in use for the past 6 years, so it's still very hush-hush. The Shadow Conglomerate has been experimenting with Inter-dimensional travel. It just so happens that you're mission is through that Gate."
Goten pondered about the situation for a moment. He looked up "When do I leave?"
"In about an hour."
"Who's coming with me?"
"You're going alone. Don't worry, I'm sure you can handle it."
"Anything else I need to know?"
"You will be briefed accordingly in a few minutes."
Goten paused "…Where exactly am I going anyway?"
"Well, let's just say that Trigun isn't an Anime anymore…"
"Huh?"
---End---
Hey again. As you can see, I decided to make Goten go alone instead of making the others come with him. Sorry it took so long to update. But I'm back! And hopefully, I'll get some stuff done before I gotta go again. Don't forget to R&R. Oh, and by the way, introducing my muse, Sirren!
Sirren: Why me? Why not Felix?
Felix is gonna join in on the fun later
Sirren: …. So what do I do.
Well, for starters, you can say the goodbyes
Sirren: uh…… Goodbye?
…..DAMNIT, BE MORE CREATIVE!
Sirren: Ok,Ok! Um, hows this? puts on 1960's geek cloths and imitates Porky Pig A-di-di-, Adi-di-, A-di-that's Folks!
…Better, but still not good enough. Put more effort into it next time.
Sirren: More effort? You're kidding me right?.......
…..
….
Sirren: ……………..Right?
