Here we are with chapter 10! I'm into double figures! Anyway I told you I would update sooner this time and I have, so let's get on with it…
When You Wish Upon a Dragon
Don't let TV or movies fool you. Going under cover isn't easy. I requires bravery, cunning, preparation, quick wits and a cool head under immense pressure. It's not something for the kind hearted, unsubtle ammeter. Unfortunately that was all the HFIL police department had so they were going to have to go with it.
"This armour is really," complained Goku as he got changed.
"Well though!" snapped Cell, "Your going to have to wear it or else Jheese won't think your Turles!"
"Can't I just go dressed as normal and claim that it's a new fashion?" protested Goku.
"Yes that could work," began Freeza sarcastically, "there's just on tiny problem. For it to be a new fashion we would need someone else to where it!"
"I could be a trend setter!" suggested Goku determinedly.
"Forget it!" snapped Cell, "If you go out in that Gi you won't get three feet before a hero arrests you! They've been tearing C hell apart even since you escaped!"
"Fine," conceded Goku, "by the way aren't you two supposed to be helping with that?"
"Hardly," grumbled Freeza, "they just wanted us to serve refreshments, we sent Cooler to do that…."
Elsewhere
"Excuses me," asked the confused Hero the far side of the temporary counter, "I asked for a hot dog and I've been give a bun with a bar of soap in the middle!"
"Really," exclaimed Cooler looking at the hot dog, "OOOO you luck person it's a blue one, that means you win a free hot dog!" magically producing another soap filled bun and handing it to the bemused hero. Happy in the knowledge of a job well done Cooler turned to his next customer.
"Right would you like ketchup in your coffee?" he asked.
Back at the Police Garage
"I guess it doesn't look too bad," conceded Goku looking in the mirror "I look kind of important and official!" he finished proudly.
"Yes you should thank us for getting you out of that orange Gi," said Cell, "because I've read that wearing orange provokes hostility!"
"Really," said Goku shocked at this revelation, "So that's must be why people have always been trying to kill me for no particular reason."
"Yes that's it," said Freeza sarcastically, "it had nothing to do with you being an annoying Monkey who ruins cunning, intelligent and not to mention good looking, evil dictator's plans, for universal domination!"
"Your still bitter about that aren't you," said Cell, in a mocking voice.
"Oh come on," said Freeza, "it was so much better then your plan! Durrr, I'm Cell, I'm going to hold a big fighting tournament so that all my enemies can kill me really easily! Dumb Cockroach."
"You know Freeza," said Cell, "it's at times like this I always think how tragic it is that your legs were smashed beyond repair leaving you in constant agony for all eternity."
"But my legs aren't smashed beyond repair," commented Freeza slightly confused.
"Want a bet!" snapped Cell menacingly.
"Wow guys," said Goku stepping between the villains, "save your strength for Jheese!"
"Oh come on he won't be a challenge," protested Freeza.
"Probably more of a challenge then you," mocked Cell.
"Okay that's it!" snapped Freeza who thumped Cell. The android responded with his foot but hit Goku instead. The Saiyan responded as came naturally to him and seconds later the three of them where doing a very good job of destroying the office…. In there defence it had been a long day. That could take a while to sort out so while there busy doing that lets see what King Cold is up to….
There is an important thing to bear in mind if you ever end you working with an evil crime lord bent on word, all even universal, domination. That is that they don't like to be kept waiting. This isn't surprising really, as if they where able to accept things occasionally not going as well as they wanted it too they wouldn't be trying to take over the world would they?
King Cold was just being to get the impression that the Ginyu force had forgotten this important rule when Burta entered the room.
"Good news your majesty," he declared, "We finally persuaded the Namek to cooperate."
"Well it's about time," said King Cold, smiling when Burta winced, "It took you so long I had to send Jheese to make that dam Saiyan another payment to keep his moth shut."
"Sorry my Lord," said Burta, clearly trying, and failing not to shake, "but he was very hard to crack. He with stood the blasting, the electrocuting, he even managed to watch an interview of Tom Cruise!"
"How did you persuade him in the end then?" asked King Cold, amazed that the Namek had stood up to such treatment.
"Well it turns out Nameks are ticklish…" explained Burta.
"No particularly evil," mused Cold, "but as long as he dose what we want," he paused and picked up the controller to make Broly follow him, "come on lets go make our wish."
With his body guards in tow King Cold entered the room where the Namek elder was being held. The creature looked very sorry for himself, which please King Cold.
"Now Saichourou I understand you have agreed to work with us," he said smugly.
"Yes," groaned the old Namek gruffly, "but I want you to know that you'll never get away with this!"
"Thank you," said King Cold calmly, "I'll bare that in mind, and next time I need someone to make a stereotypical comment I'll come straight to you!" The Ginyu force laughed at this, like they were paid to. "Now make me a Dragon," he demanded, "and as a final humiliation for you its name shall be… Bob!"
"Very well," said the Namek wearily. Slowly he raised his hands and created a bright light in font of him. King Cold smiled wickedly as the lights focused themselves into to balls.
Suddenly the balls shoot upwards towards the roof. King Cold watched as a smile formed on the Nameks face, he clearly thought the balls were going to escape. A second later he was proven wrong. In the time it takes for a four eyed frog like creature to hold his breath the flying balls disappeared. The reappeared a moment later in Guldo's hands. The frog like creature ran over to King Cold.
"Here you go your Majesty," he said in grovelling tones. The kind of tones King Cold liked to be talked to in.
"Thank you Guldo," he said, "You can have a 100 pay rise."
"But that would still leave me being paid nothing," protested Guldo before seeing King Cold's face, "I-I mean thank you sir, you are to kind." King Cold accepted the complement and turned to the crest fallen Namek.
"Nice try!" he snapped, "For that trick your going to have to spend another twenty minutes with Reacoom and the feather. Then you can watch me make my wish…"
"I don't see why we didn't take the car," protested Goku as they approached the meeting sight. "It would have been a lot stealthier to back me up from inside there."
"Because," snapped Cell, "Jheese would get suspicious if there was a police car parked beside the meeting point!"
"Are you sure," said Goku, "he was pretty dumb."
"Takes one to know one," said Freeza quietly. The others glared at him causing him to shut up; Freeza had come off worst by quiet some margin in the last disagreement.
"At least the car didn't have a face!" pointed out Goku.
"Don't worry about that," said Thomas the Tank Engine, "I'll pretend to be asleep, he won't suspect a thing. By the way I could do with a bit more coal."
"Freeza give the mouthy steam engine what he wants," order Cell.
"I used to rule an empire of hundred of planets," grumbled Freeza, "and now I'm taking orders from a piece of machinery! How low have I sunk?"
"Well I wouldn't have to give you orders if you knew what you where doing!" retorted Thomas, who seemed to be able to hear everything that was said in the cab, "Honestly you are the worst fireman I've ever had. I'm amazed that the station master let you borrow me!"
"Yeeessss," said Cell quietly, "he let us…"
"Hold on Thomas," said Goku, "we're here, pull over into that siding." The steam engine obliged. Well actually he spent half an hour explaining to Cell and Goku how to set the points before the finally managed to park him in a different siding. That done they sat down in Thomas' cab to recap their plan for the sake of the audience.
"Right Goku," said Cell, "all you have to do is wait till Jheese turns up and grab him! Then we'll make him tell us where King Cold has Saichouthingy so we can rescue him. Got it."
"Hey I came up with the plan to destroy you," said Goku, "I think I can handle this!"
"Great I'll go home then," said Freeza, "Driving a steam train is surprisingly hard work!" Cell grabbed Freeza before he could leave and let Goku out. Goku wonder quickly over the railway to the old signal box. It was very peaceful; the only thing he could hear was Thomas pretending to snore. Goku stomped around in the cold for a bit. He seemed to be there for hours, although knowing Goku's patience it was more like a few minutes. Suddenly a voice came out of the darkness;
"Oi, Turles!" it called.
"Who me?" asked Goku, almost blowing his cover.
"Yes you," snapped Jheese, "I've brought to your money, alright."
"Oh, thanks very much," said Goku, taking the suit case.
"Right, I'm going to go!" said Jheese.
"Wait, you can't leave yet," protested Goku.
"Why not?" demanded Jheese. Goku suddenly grabbed him; he was promptly surrounded by Cell and Freeza.
"Because we have a few questions," explained Goku, smugly. "Where are King Cold and Saichourou?" Jheese looked at them and laughed.
"I'm not going to tell you that," he said, "in a few minutes I'm going to be wished back to life and out of this Hell hole, I'm not going to risk that!"
"Hang on a second," said Freeza, "why don't we just wait for the dragon to appear and use that to locate Dad- I mean King Cold."
"Dad…" began Cell, but Goku cut him off.
"We wouldn't get there in time," he said sadly.
"What about your teleportation thingy?" asked Cell.
"Well the authors temporarily forgotten about that for the sake of the story," explained Goku.
"Arrh well, said Cell not sounding too distressed, "looks like we'll just have to make Jheese talk."
"Good luck!" spat Jheese smugly.
"Hark!" said Freeza, "Is that the sound of the midnight express approaching? My wouldn't that be convenient."
"But it's half past one," exclaimed Jheese.
"This is the HFIL transport system," said Cell lowering Jheese's head to the track, "one and half hours late is pretty prompt!"
"Gee," said Goku, getting into the swing of things, "you shouldn't leave Jheese's head there, it could delay the train!"
"Wait a second!" explained Jheese as the train approached, "can't we sort this out in a nicer way?"
"I don't know," said Freeza, "you tell us."
"Err guys," called Thomas from the siding.
"What!" snapped Freeza, tired of being bossed around by the steam train.
"We never set the points back," he replied. Cell, Goku and Freeza looked up to see the clumsy arrangement of the points suddenly divert the high speed train into the side of the bridge. It exploded in an over the top manor, sending carriages flying towards our heroes.
"Rats," muttered Cell.
Pikkon looked up from his coffee, which tasted funny, to see the explosion.
"Look Olive," he called "that looks like that traitor Goku's work if ever I saw it."
"Really," said Olive, "It looks more like a train exploding to me!"
"What ever it is we should check it out," said Pikkon, "coming?"
"Just a sec," said Olive, "let my food settle for a bit." The Hero winced, "I've got a really bad stomach ache, must have been that hot dog I ate!"
"Fine, you rest," said Pikkon, "someone else come!"
"There is no one else," said Olive, "they've all come down with food poisoning too."
"What!" growled Pikkon, "How can hundreds of heroes all with different digestive systems al get food poisoning!" He swung round to the caterer behind his plastic table. "What the Hell did you do to this meat?"
"I'm sorry," said the Icea, (or Icejin if you prefer) "all complaints must be directed to our complaints department."
"Well put me in touch with your complaints department then!" demanded Pikkon.
"Please Hold," said Cooler, who then started humming some annoying music and saying, "You are thirty eighth in the queue," at certain intervals. Pikkon sighed, this could take a while.
Freeza opened his eyes as the dust cleared, to his amazement he was unharmed, all the wreckage had missed him.
"I'm fine!" he declared "it's a miracle!"
"Speak for your self!" snapped Cell gesturing to a piece of metal that had logged itself in his right eye.
"What are you complaining about," snapped Freeza, "you can regenerate!"
"That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!" screamed Cell. Goku, also unhurt, wondered over.
"Let me get that," he said pulling it out of Cell's eye, causing the android to scream like a little girl. "Sorry, but it has to come out," said the Saiyan with the slightest hint of enjoyment.
"Just don't tell anyone I screamed," begged Cell be for regaining his composure, "hey where's Jheese, did he escape?"
"He wishes," said Freeza gesturing to an orange body crushed under a tender, "but he's of no use to us now. There are a lot of hurt passengers too."
"There dead all ready," said Cell dismissively, "we have to find King Cold!"
"But where could he be," mused Goku. Suddenly, as if on cue, a huge dragon burst out of a near by building. "Oh crap!" said Goku, "we're nearly out of time."
"Screw the author!" snapped Freeza "lets just teleport there!"
"Good idea," said Goku, grabbing Freeza and Cell, "lets go, Thomas try to help the injured."
"Wait a second," said Thomas, "how can I do that…" but Goku and the others had vanished before he could finish. Thomas looked around at the wreckage. "Okay folks," he announced at last, "if your back hurts try not to move it, oh and if anyone has a mobile could you use it to call an ambulance please." There where a few murmured replies but nothing definitive. Thomas sighed; "I better be getting over time for this!"
Okay folk's just one chapter to go! Why dose some one always cheer when I say that. Well I have bad news for you because after this I'm going to start writing a bunch of one shots about the HFIL police force, because I have a few ideas for scenes that didn't fit into this plot. So if you have anything you would like to see our heroes get up to let me know. I also have a new Goten and Vegeta in the works. If you like this story and haven't read Goten and Vegeta you should consider it, it's pretty much the same kind of humor so you will probably enjoy it. Anyway I'll update soon so please review.
