I own nothing of Dragon Ball Z.
The Day Before Christmas
Chapter 4.
"No! Not The Toy Maker!" Gasp King Kai, trembling with a fearful look. "This is just awful! Poor Santa Claus."
"King Kai, is he worse than any enemy we've faced?" Ask Goku with a serious intense look.
"Where is the rat located, so when I get him, I will beat him like a piñata!" said Vegeta strongly with a wild look.
"I don't know, I never heard of him. Heh! Heh! Heh! Heh!" Goku and Vegeta fell backwards after what King Kai had said. Vegeta became very angry and he instantly gets up into King Kais face.
"You overstuffed walrus! I'll..."
"No Vegeta!" Yelled Goku, as he swiftly Snatches Vegeta away from King Kai. "King Kai please, this is serious. We don't have time to be joking around!"
"Alright, alright, already...lighten up." Said King Kai with a frown. "This is the Christmas season. Don't you guys know how to be merry?"
"Not while Santa Claus has been taken hostage!" Said Goku with a troubled look. "Kids all over the world are going to be sad if Santa Claus doesn't come! Please King Kai; I need your help to find Santa Claus!"
"Ugh!" Growl Vegeta, being impatient. "Let's go Kakarot; he's not going to help!"
"On the contrary Vegeta, I maybe able to help you guys out." Said King Kai with a smile.
"Okay, That woman..."
"Mrs. Claus Vegeta." Said Goku interrupting to correct Vegeta but he ignores Goku.
"Said one year ago that elf was at there costume party, dressed as a female librarian."
"One year ago I went to Santa Claus costume party. Santa definitely knows how to party but anyway, I wasn't there long but I do recall walking towards the front door to leave, when I accidentally step on a female librarians foot or may I say, his foot and he said swear words to me I wouldn't dare repeat. He also looked terrible in that dress and high hilled shoes." Said King Kai.
"That was him," said Goku as he continued talking. "Mrs. Claus said he was in that kind of costume and came undetected and reminded them all about the threat he made to take revenge on Santa Claus. What I'm asking you is can you find where The Toy Maker has Santa Claus?"
"I'm surprise that you didn't do this yourself. Remember when you were looking for the new planet that the Nameks were on and you used instant transmission to find them, do the same thing but remember if The Toy Maker can sense power levels, you might in up bringing him to you and Vegeta and that could be dangerous."
"Let him come!" Vegeta said loudly, with a smirk. "I'm not afraid of him! The only thing so far we need to watch out for is that snowball, iced, fossil attack."
"Snowball, iced, fossil attack?" ask King Kai looking puzzled.
"It's the attack The Toy Maker used against us. It took the help of Santa's elves to get us out of it." Said Goku.
"So you've both have already encountered him. Ooh, be careful because I don't believe that is the only severe attack he has."
"Yeah, we were told that is one of his most deadly attacks." Said Goku. "Anyway King Kai, thanks for reminding me of something I could do myself, see ya." Goku put his two fingers to his head, and then he and Vegeta disappeared off King Kais roof and reappeared at a secluded area in the mountains where no people or animals lived.
"Kakarot! why we are here? I don't want to spar with you!"
"We are not here to spar Vegeta. If The Toy Maker can sense power levels, we are about to find out, when I speak with Santa Claus and hopefully that will bring The Toy Maker to us." Goku closes his eyes and starts to concentrate on finding where Santa Claus is. Suddenly he finds him and starts talking to him telepathically.
"Santa, this is Goku."
"The Saiyan Goku?" ask Santa talking back to him with his mind.
"Yes sir. I'm aware that the toy maker has you held hostage in the basement of his mansion. Me and another Saiyan name Vegeta are coming to rescue you."
"Don't! He's..."
"Shut up you overweight fool!" yelled the toy maker in his mind to Santa, as he knocks the tied up plump man out the chair. The toy maker starts doing harm to Santa Claus. Goku heard the evil tyrant hurting him and he became furious. Goku put his two fingers to his forehead and he disappears with Vegeta and reappeared in a virtual world place.
"Where are we Kakarot?"
"I don't know. It's definitely not in the toy makers' mansion. The Toy Maker did this to keep us from rescuing Santa Claus. This place looks like one of Goten's video games."
As Goku and Vegeta were checking out where they were, Vegeta becomes shocked after noticing how different they look.
"What in the cosmos has happen to our bodies? Is this sorcery?" ask Vegeta looking wide-eyed and toughing his face and body.
"It's called being virtualized." Said The Toy Maker firmly as he appeared. "Welcome to my virtual world and I see you haven't learned much since you've been on this planet but what should I expect from a mandrill, which means monkey for you who are uneducated."
"Kakarot! Let me take this fool down! There's no need for the both of us to fight this runt, and by the way, runt means short and physically weak, which also means, there's not a snowball of a chance for you!" Yelled Vegeta as he instantly becomes Super Saiyan two.
"I love it when morons like you make fun of us little people, it just give us opportunity to show how powerful we are!" He powers up.
"Take this Saiyan! Eighties, retro, disaster blast!" The Toy Makers' blast came towards Vegeta really fast and he dodges it and the blast hits Goku and instantly he became a person from the eighties era.
"Yo homeys, what's happening?" Said Goku, with a flop hairstyle, wearing a checkerboard outfit with shoes to match and was doing The German Smurf.
"What in the!" Shouted Vegeta, looking stun. "Kakarot! Stop that at once! You're a warrior for heavens sake!"
"Not any more." Said The Toy Maker with a sinister grin. "Now he's in the past... forever! And you're going to join him as I had planned."
"I doubt that... now die!" Yelled Vegeta as he quickly starts shooting strong energy blast at The Toy Maker and The Toy Maker does the same back to Vegeta.
While Vegeta and The Toy Maker were fighting, Goku was trying his best to get free but couldn't. It was even harder for him to transform into Super Saiyan three but he kept on trying. Then finally, he was able to break through and become Super Saiyan three and went after The Toy Maker. Sensing that Goku had transform and was rapidly coming that way, Vegeta stops fighting with The Toy Maker then quickly moves out of the way. The Toy Maker seeing Goku coming started rapidly shooting stronger energy blast at him but with each hit that Goku received, he kept on coming. So The Toy Maker stops shooting at Goku.
"That's impossible!" Shouted The Toy Maker looking surprised and scratched his head.
"He not only broke free from my eighties retro disaster attack, my energy draining blast are not stopping him!" Goku was coming his way like a bullet at full force and was just about to ram him until he disappeared. The Toy Maker who had already crouch down and thinking that Goku was going to slam into him, stood up and look around for Goku. Unexpectedly, The Toy Maker got a tap on the shoulder and he turned around. Goku immediately snatch The Toy Maker, threw him up in the air and kick him. This sent The Toy Maker flying like he was a jet plane and Goku disappeared and reappeared way ahead of The Toy Maker then kicked him back over in the direction he just kicked him from. This became like a ping pong match but in zoom mode. Goku was doing this so fast, Vegeta couldn't keep up with him.
"Show off." Said Vegeta smirking. "Enough already Kakarot! Make him give you Santa Claus and let's go!"
"I don't think so!" said The Toy Maker after finding a way to get from Goku and he instantly disappears.
"Darn it! He got away!" Said Goku feeling disappointed. Goku flies back over to Vegeta.
"You had him Kakarot and you let him get away!" he said in anger.
"Sorry Vegeta, I didn't think he would get away."
"This is not over with Saiyan!" Said the voice of The Toy Maker. "Pick a place and I shall meet you and your comrade there with Santa Claus."
"Fine!" Said Goku boldly with a smirk. "But how will you know where I'm at? And when I get there?
"I have my ways of finding out things. Heh! Heh! Heh!" Said The Toy Maker with a hideous laugh and his voice fade away.
"Looks like the elf couldn't stand being beat and wants a rematch. Aah!" Groan Vegeta moving his injured arm with a grin. "This is one rematch he'll regret."
"I hope so." said Goku as he looks over at Vegetas arm. "Let's go see Dende, so he can heal that injured arm of yours.
And hour later after school, Trunks came home with Goten and the two boys ran upstairs into Trunks bedroom.
"Goten, who could have stolen my air cycle? We look everywhere for it and couldn't find nothing! What am I going to do?" Ask trunks, pacing back and forth feeling worried. "If my parents find out that I took my T, Rex Air cycle out of that room, my butt is there's!"
"I wouldn't worry too much Trunks. You cloned your air cycle, remember and Christmas is not until next week, so that's more than enough time to find it."
"Your right Goten," said Trunks as he was starting to calm down and begins to smile. "I totally forgot about my cloned air cycle. Let's get something to eat! So both of the energized boys left Trunks room and went running down the stairs and into the kitchen where dinner was done and left on the stove. Both boys fix there plates and they were plied up high. The boys sat at the kitchen table and started eating there food like ferocious wild beast. While the boys were eating, Bulma was walking a policeman to the front door to let him out and the two boys seen this. After Bulma let the policeman out, she had seen Trunks and Goten in the kitchen and came over to them.
"There you boys are, did you both just get here?"
"We've been here for a few minutes. Why was that policeman here?"
"The room were I had the gifts was broken into and all of the gifts were stolen. All of those gifts that were in that room was for the unprivileged kids that are going to be at capsule corps annual kids Christmas party."
"That's impossible mom!" He said looking worried. "We have the best home security system in the world. How were they able to get in? And you usually keep those presents in storage. Why did you decide to store them at our house?"
"To answer your first question, they hack our security system. I'm sure the robbers watch our comings and goings, then waited until we were all gone before they did this and next, I had problems with getting a storage and that never happens, just like the Santa Claus I had hired for the kids Christmas party decided not to do it and it's hard trying to get another Santa Claus this late in the season but I'm not going to worry about any of this, I'm sure a miracle will happen. Anyway, Goten, I talk to your mother earlier and she said to stay here, Gohan will pick you up later." She looks at her watch.
"I wonder where Vegeta is. He's usually like clock work when its time to eat." The phone rings and she quickly walks away to answer it. "I hope that's Lance calling to tell me he's got some Santa clauses for me to interview.
"Goten, I'm in serious trouble." He said putting his hands up against is face.
"You were in trouble Trunks when you decided to clone that T, Rex Air cycle, which I told you were a bad idea."
"But I don't understand!" Cried Trunks. "I thought that air cycle was mine! It had my name on it and there were a lot of presents in that room with my name on them!"
"What if by accident, some of your gifts got mix up in that room and your parents don't realize it."
"Yeah, like last night when I cloned my air cycle and my grandparents came with some more presents to put in that room but the only thing is, I didn't get a chance to see if my name was on any of them. This sucks big time. I've got to do something Goten! I can't just let this go!"
"You really don't need to do anything because Oko and Dae are the only ones who know that you cloned and took the air cycle from your house and they won't tell anyone."
"So you're saying, since no one knows but us four, there's not anything for me to worry about?"
"Not unless the police catch the robbers and get back all of the presents."
"And I doubt that will ever happen because who ever stole all of those presents, I'm sure have given them all out by now." He signs. "Boy, do I feel relieved. Thanks Goten, you are a life saver."
"That's what friends are for." Said Goten, smiling.
Meanwhile, Eastlyn had just left the school and was on her way to the bus stop, when Sharpener pulled up next to her in his sports car.
"Hey girl, why are you leaving school so late?" He asks smirking at her.
"I was at the library doing some reading and checking out books for my novel writing class. Why are you just now leaving school?"
"I was waiting for you to come out. So I can give you a ride home."
"That's nice of you Sharpener but like I told you earlier, I don't mind taking the bus." She sees her bus coming. "Oh, here comes my bus. I'll call you later, sorry I didn't return your call last night but I promise to call you tonight, bye! She waves at him as she gets on the bus and he waves back at her. After the bus pulls off, Sharpener waits until the bus was a little further down before he pulls off to follow it.
"Why doesn't she want me to take her home? I just have to know. Especially, after what Ham and Grey said."
The ride was long and Sharpener started to notice the more east he went, the neighborhood started to change from nice looking, to not so nice looking. The bus finally stop and Eastlyn got off and went into this building that said Toddlers' Day School. Sharpener parked across the street where he couldn't be seen. She comes walking out with two children, a little girl and a boy. They walk down the street and tuned left and went through a gate that lead to a two story beige house where some of the paint was chipping off it and there was hardly any grass but everything was neat and clean. Then someone pulls up to the house where Eastlyn and the two kids went. A handsome guy gets out of the car and goes over to the gate, then through it. At the same time, Eastlyn was coming out the house with the two kids. The two children ran up into the arms of the handsome man that was starting to come up on the steps. Eastlyn walks to the car with the three of them. She helps him put the children into there car seats, after that, they hug and kiss each other and he gets into the car then takes off. Eastlyn goes back to her house and sits on the porch. She gets on her cell phone. Sharpeners phone rings and he answers it.
"Hey Eastlyn, what's up?" he said with a smile.
"Sharpener, you are one crazy man." She said with a smirk. "Parking down the street to spy on me, get over here before you get arrested." She hangs up and Sharpener drives off then pulls up in front of her house. He gets out of his car, goes through gate, onto the steps and sits down next to her on the porch.
"So, this is where you live." He said looking around.
"Why did you follow me to my house?"
"What makes you think I followed you to your house? I could know someone that lives over here."
"My brother in-law saw you parked over there and became concern. But I let him know who you were and he was relieved. Unless you are a drug dealer or doing some other illegal stuff or my neighbor's rich relatives and friends who definitely don't come around a lot, other than that, we don't have good looking rich men, with long blonde hair, along with a custom-made sports car that come in this neighborhood."
"You think I'm good looking?" He said with a smirk.
"Very. Tell me the reason you're here Sharpener. Because I don't believe you came all of this way for nothing."
"I wanted to visit you and you told me no and I don't take no for an answer, especially from a girl I really like."
"Correction, you wanted to take me home not visit me at my house."
"I wanted to do both."
"Is that all or is there more to this?"
"What are you asking?"
"I'll just come out and say it. Every since day one I came to orange star college and have told people where I live and who I am, there's been a lot of gossiping and some people have been treating me like I was a bad person and if you're out here to go back and tell your friends that it's true of what they had told you, if they told you anything, then you can leave because I don't have time for your games."
Sharpener didn't know what to say after that but he knew he had to be honest.
"Eastlyn, my friends did say some things about you but I wanted to find out for myself were these things true but before I heard any of these things that they said, I already like you."
"Would you still like me if you were to find out what they said was true? So far you've seen that I live in somewhat of a run down neighborhood. I do have mice for pets and I keep them in there gnaw proof cage. I do collect dead butterfly wings but I don't kill them and take off there wings nor do I find dead butterflies and take off there wings. I go to this store that sells them already laminated and buy them. Now, do you still like me after hearing all of this?"
"Of course I do but I have to tell you, I cringe big time when my friends told me about this but the way they told me was definitely not way you told me but what should I expect from a couple of dopes."
"You're among the few people like Gohan, Videl, Erasa and a few others that have accepted me as who I am." She gets up. "Do you want to have dinner with me and my family? We're having meat loaf with rice and veggies."
"Sure," he gets up. "I'll have dinner with you and your family."
"If you are use to having your food serve to you, it's not going to happen here. It's buffet style at this house." She opens the door to walk inside the house.
"That's fine with me." Said Sharpener smiling as he walks inside the house with Eastlyn.
The next morning, Goku and Vegeta had just arrived in a secluded area in the mountains.
"I'm looking forward to beating this elf to a pulp Kakarot if he brings Santa Claus or not."
"Do you believe now that Santa Claus is a real person?" Ask Goku.
"No I'm not convinced nor will I ever be. I still believe it's all a set up from an enemy."
"What's it going to take for you to believe there is a Santa Claus monkey man?" ask The Toy Maker after he appeared with Santa Claus, who was gag and tired up to a chair. "I hate the fat guy but he's real and he's about to become ancient history unless, I can make a deal with you Goku."
"Don't Kakarot! It's a trap!"
"What kind of deal do you have in mind?" asks Goku with a stern voice.
