Dende stood at the edge of the lookout, his face a veiled in focus and clarity.
"Dende!" Mr. Popo called out.
"ACK!" Dende struggled to regain his balance. "MR. POPO, not in the middle of my back swing!" Dende roared as he pointed his three wood at the genie.
Mr. Popo stared at Earth's guardian dress in the ugliest golf outfit he yet to see the purple tartan pants to the day glow orange argyle sweeter, and that stupid looking pink hat with the puff, Yajarobi stood off to side wearing the most redneck clothes possible a pair jeans several sizes too small with his gut hanging out over the top, a pair of dirty work boots which some of the seams had tore out of them covered his feet then there was the tee-shirt adverting some beer company cover in various stains. A dirty old ball cap turned backwards with the word "hooters" stenciled on it and in his hand was a cheap cigar and a can of cheap beer in his hand. Mr. Popo looked the two and rolled his eyes and walked away.
"So, He's still here?"
"Of course Mr. Popo is an institution."
"Strong union, huh?"
"You would not believe."
Korin joined the two in his tacky clothes of neon green pants and hot pink shirt with a raspberry colored beret "So, you let the Red Sox win the World Series?" (1)
As Gohan slipped through the air like a guided missile towards his fourth dragonball, he could not help but wonder about the ease he was experiencing collecting the dragonballs he had in hand, he could not help but to wonder if he was getting a little help from above. The thoughts where quickly forgotten as an images of Videl with her new clothes and haircut filled his mind with thoughts and feelings that where confusing and exciting to him as well intensified older ones, these thoughts were pushed to the side as the dragonball radar's proximity alarm chirped.
"So, soon?" Gohan asked the wind as he slowed down he took out the radar and decreased the radar's range and increase its sensitivity. Once the radar reached it limits Gohan floated down to the ground and survey the search area. It was a wash littered with boulders, large stones and small dragonball buried in somewhere in it in the midst of the litter. Gohan couldn't help but smirk at the memory of a dragonball hunt after returning from Namek and how Yamcha complained about how having to recover a dragonball from a garbage dump.
Videl was laying out on a large rock enjoying the Sun's warm rays as Marron was napping on the sandy beach near by. What's that noise? Videl thought as she sat up and stretched, she could hear the loud snaps and cracks as large tree branches where broken. As Videl stared in the direction of the noise, a large T-rex came bursting from the woods!
Oh Kami, OH KAMI! Mentally Videl mentally screams as she rolls off her sunning rock searches the area for a way to escape, when Marron rolls over drawing the creature's attention. Without thinking Videl grabbed a handful of rocks and throws two of then at the beast one hitting it in the snout and the other in the eye causing it roar a wild mix of pain and anger.
"Marron, run and hide!" Videl screamed out as she leapt up and started to run away from the dinosaur.
Marron, startled by the T-rex's roar, turned to hear Videl's order to run and hide as she watched Videl take off running away from her drawing the beast away. Marron, who was one of Chichi well educated, knew that the T-rex would catch Videl long before she could draw it away let along escape. So being the daughter of 18 she ignored Videl's command and powered up and flew to catch up as she moved up the T-rex tail whipped out connecting with her head sending her tumbling into the ground rolling up against the ATP.
Videl turned her head to see if the monster was following when she saw Marron fly into the air, then come along side of the monster only to be sent flying like a rag doll that had been thrown across the room. In her shock, she stumbled over a branch and fell down. As Videl rolled over she could only watch as the beast barreled down on her. Just as Videl thought it was all over a golden blur raced past heading for the T-rex as the two converged the golden blur leap connected with the beast jaw, causing it's jaw snap shut and it head to jerk back as it reared back from the force of the blow.
"Final Flash!"
Videl snapped her head towards the voice to see Trunks' arms fully extended and in each of his hands he was holding a yellow ball of light.
"Ha!" Trunks yelled as he brought his hands together.
Videl watched as Trunks yelled out as he brought the two balls light together to form one and go racing form his hand as Videl tracked the ball of light as it left Trunks' hand and flew towards the massive beast striking it in the head it let out a scream of pain before its was reduce to ashes. The headless corpse dropped to the ground and slid to a stop.
Videl had gotten to her feet and had wandered over to the remains staring dumbly at the remains, "Dad said it was fake, Dad said it was fake, Dad said it was fake." Videl continued to Chant like an order to pull things back to the way they should be.
"MARRON!"
Videl turned to see a gold fighter holding Marron, causing her focus on the here and now. As she moved closer to help, she could see the gold fighter was shaking the girl pretty hard.
"Marron, Wake up! Come on wake up so we can have lunch!"
"Goten!" Trunks barked, "You're shaking her too hard, Come out of super."
Videl wheeled her around to the lavender haired boy then back to the gold fighter, "Goten? Super?"
The golden fighter lowered his head and closed his eyes, he took in deep breathed and released it slowly. The gold flames surrounding the fighter's body flared up and vanished leaving his golden spikes of hair, black and sticking out every direction. His cool teal eyes, now black coal radiating warmth and innocence.
"We need to get her Dende."
"Dende isn't Kami yet."
"Then what do we do now, Trunks?
Trunks' tapped his finger on the side of his head for a moment, "Goten, check your pockets for Senzu beans." Trunks order as he rummaged through his own pockets.
"I don't got any pockets."
"Oh…uhm…" Trunks stumbled, "Well I don't have any beans."
"I will go to Karin's and get some." Goten declared as he handed Marron over to Trunks, then cupping his hands around his mouth he hollered "NIMBUS!"
For Videl shock had returned with its sister confusion. As she watched Goten change from one of those golden fighter and now he talking about beans with Trunks, who could also use those light tricks now they started into the sky waiting for something. She watched the boys as they stared at the sky then they jerked their heads in towards one spot Videl followed the boys lead and stared off into the sky. After what seam like an eternity Videl spotted a golden blur way off in the distance she continued watch as it came closer.
"Gohan!"
"Ni-Chan!"
Videl's neck cracked when she whipped around, at first she didn't see Gohan but another gold fighter then something in the back her mind reminded her that Goten was a gold fighter and therefore Gohan must be as well. Videl's eyes popped out her skull as the golden fire blazing around Gohan flared up and then out.
"Ni-Chan! NI-Chan! Marron got hurt by big dinosaur I punched it and trunks ki blasted it! Dende's not Kami and we don't have any Senzu Beans I called for Nimbus and he's not coming! What do we do what do we do?" Goten yelled in one big burst as he pointed to the still smoking remains.
Taking Marron from Trunks hands, "Nimbus still belongs to Master Roshi. Don't worry she is going to be fine, Trunks, go as fast you can to Karin's, get a bag full." Gohan ordered.
Videl head was spinning as Trunks leapt back from group, she watched as he clenched his hands into fists and his muscle mass increased size as a white fire shrouded then blazed yellow turning his lavender locks into golden spikes and his eyes where now teal. Trunks paused for a second then launched into the sky and away with golden contrail that quickly faded behind. As Videl approached Gohan she felt her knees becoming weak and shaky she could feel her knees buckle as the world went black.
"Ni-Chan, why Videl did go to sleep standing?
"It must have been a long day." Gohan answered as he looked at Videl who was on her knees with her shoulder leaning on Gohan's leg, her head slumped forward. "Why Me?" Gohan thought as looked up.
"Um…Ok." Goten replied as he looked at Videl's odd position of rest.
"Goten, why don't you take Marron." Gohan said as he transferred Marron to Goten he then put his hand Goten shoulder and said "And be real careful, ok?"
Goten nodded his head. "Ok, Ni-Chan." Gohan then put one of his hands on Videl's shoulder and placed his other hand on the back of her neck, then proceed to tilt Videl backwards till she was lying on her back with knees in the air, the moment Gohan had Videl settled she rolled on her side pulling her arms up tight to her. He then quickly picked up Videl's and Marron's things and placed them in the ATP, then capsulated and pocketed it. Scooping Videl into a bridal carry Gohan looked at Goten.
"Ready, Goten?" Gohan asked to which He received a head shake so they started walked back to the capsule house.
As Trunks skimmed along the treetops as he approached the base of the tower he could feel his grip on his super-Saiyan state start to slip "Damn I 'm running out of Ki." He thought as he gathered and focused the last of the Ki from his Super Saiyan form for one last burst of speed as Trunks rocketed up the column his super Saiyan from faded out. Seconds later He entered the platform at the top of the tower through one of the three openings in the basement level. (2) He quickly scanned the room to find that the resident hermit wasn't on this level.
"Karin must be on then the next level." Trunks thought as he walked out onto the landing and up the stairs to the next level
"Welcome to my Tower, you are the youngest person ever to successfully climb to the top seeking the holy water."
Trunks saw the old hermit cat looking down the stairs at him. "Hey Karin." Trunks waved, "Nope, I need a Senzu bean, a pouch full would be better."
So you don't want try for the sacred water? After you did climb al this way."
"Nope just the beans, beside I didn't climb I flew her."
"Impossible, no flying machine can climb this high. The only thing can this high is a nimbus"
"Nimbus is too slow I can go faster." Trunks hover off the ground then shot over the top and down the other side and across the bottom and back up landing beside the cat completing the circle.
"Impressive, I will be right back." Karin said as he went down the stairs
Trunks just shrugged and leaned against a column and yawned.
As Videl came to, she was in a hard yet comfortable location that was warm and smelled good as her mind and felt her body become more relaxed as it slipped back to sleep unaware that she was cradled in Gohan's arms.
"Here you go" Karin stated as he tossed leather pouch to youngster.
"Thanks!" Trunks snatching the bag from the air.
Karin flick a senzu bean at trunks "One more for the road."
"Cool!" Trunks said as caught the bean in his mouth which he quickly chewed and swallowed.
Karin's eyes popped out of their sockets when felt Trunks power burst forth as the bean did it's job.
"Gotta jet!" Trunks said as he basted by Karin on his way back to the group.
"Uh…yah…ok."
