Sorry to make you guys wait for long! This is another chapter of A Twist Into The Story! Did y'all like tha last chapter? Hmmm, i really don't know what to put on here . . . So Enjoy! OH! And my sister and I don't own DBZ.
Piccolo and I flew off with an unconscious Gohan in his arms. I had asked him if he wanted me to carry him, but he just blew up on me, and told me no. We landed by the mountains, and saw a river near by. Piccolo landed before I did, and before I knew it, had thrown Gohan into the water.
"Hey! That's not a nice way to wake the kid up!" Piccolo ignored me, and paid attention to the boy. Gohan started screaming and crying, wailing about wanting to get out of the water. I took a step towards him, but Piccolo barked orders at me.
"Leave the kid be, he needs to learn not to cry so much."
"What did you expect? You threw the freaking kid in water for crying out loud! I would have cried too!" A smile crept to his lips, and he pushed me into the water too.
"What was that for!" I yelled.
"I don't see you crying, but you sure are griping." I stood up, and grabbed Gohan out of the water too. I put Gohan down on the smooth grass, and turned to Piccolo. An evil little smile came on my face, and quick as lightning, pushed Piccolo into the water also.
"How does it feel? Don't like being wet do you?" I laughed at him, and Gohan joined in.
"Aunt Mindy, you're funny!" He smiled warmly at me, and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Why thank you Gohan!" I faced Gohan all the way, loving his little boy laughter. Before I knew it, Piccolo had grabbed my leg, and pulled me into the water again.
"Lesson number one Gohan, never face your back to the enemy." I looked at Piccolo crazily.
"Thought you were the ally green bean?"
"Temporarily, and why do you keep calling me green bean!" He slapped some water on me, and I growled back at him.
"Fine, I will just call you brustle sprouts." I smiled widely at him, and Gohan laughed some more.
"I like green bean better!"
"I'm master Piccolo to you Gohan!" Piccolo screamed at the kid, which frightened Gohan. I flew over to Gohan, seeing he was about to cry again.
"Don't let green bean scare you, he is just a mean old vegetable. They may seem nasty at first, but once you try some, they're not so bad, and they're good for you too."
"This vegetable makes you puke," muttered Piccolo, who had flown out of the water also. I giggled at the little trap that I had made for him.
"See, he agrees he is a vegetable too! Just hang tough kid, I wont let him scare you."
"I'M NOT A VEGETABLE!" Piccolo screamed, but the anger amused me more.
"Sure, sure, whatever you say green bean." I snickered at his obvious frustration.
"Back to business. Gohan, before Mindy or I can train you, you first have to train yourself. For the first six months, you will be living on your own. Mindy nor I will help you. Understand?" Gohan nodded solemnly, a seriousness that wasn't on his face had grown.
"Good. It's up to you whether you live or die."
"Can't we just give him a few items before we leave?" I asked, not feeling too good about letting my nephew live like this. Piccolo shook his head.
"He needs to do this all on his own. He has great powers if he would just tap into it. Watch." Piccolo grabbed Gohan by the collar, and threw him towards the nearest mountain. I screamed in a plea for Piccolo to stop, but it was too late. Gohan was soaring so fast, it was almost hard to distinguish between when he was crying for help, to a fierceness that grew. The same blue light that I saw when we were fighting Raditz bubbled over Gohan, and right before he hit the mountain, the energy had blown the whole thing up. I gaped in amazement, not believing my own eyes.
"H-He did that?" I asked no one in particular.
"See what I'm saying? The kid has amazing powers, maybe even better than ours. Now tell me if it's wrong to train that kind of power." I shook my head, still dazed at Gohan's power.
"I understand. That was fantastic, and to think, he is only four years old! Imagine when he's our age!" My hands went up in the air in excitement.
"My kid better have that kind of power!" Piccolo stood there awkwardly, not daring to look at me.
"Yeah, kid . . ." He coughed. I rolled my eyes, and strode over to Gohan.
"We need to leave Gohan, take care of yourself. I'll be seeing you in six months kiddo." I kissed him on the forehead, and walked over to Piccolo. We both nodded at each other, and flew off.
"So where to now Piccolo?" I asked, lazily flying in the air.
"I'm going to the pyramids, I don't know where you're going." I got the point, and somehow, I felt hurt. Rejection flooded through me, and it was confusing. I put my head down, and stopped flying.
"I guess I will see you around then, sorry to have bothered you." I put my hands to my forehead, and was about to do instant transmission, when Piccolo stopped me.
"Fine. If you want to, you can join me. But don't expect me to go easy on you." I was filled with a sudden excitement, and bounced up and down in the air.
"Yeah! Let's go! Don't worry about taking it easy on me, because I will be giving it my all!"
ONE MONTH LATER. . .
Piccolo and I were fighting, for training of course. We were sort of out of breath, but then again we were fighting for an hour. I slowly stalked him, keeping my defenses up. He charged up to me, and then he turned left, and started to throw Ki balls. I used my Ki to make a bubble shield around me. I had to close my eyes to concentrate, but I didn't see the problem with that since it was getting dusty. I felt a huge pain on the back of my head.
"Always keep your eyes open. The Bubble shield will only protect you from Ki blasts, not hand to hand combat."
"Nice to know." I mumbled. The Bubble shield was something Piccolo and I made up.
"I thought you should know this, you are-"
"Tiger Claw!" I screamed, standing up as fast as I could, using my attack. My Tiger Claw hit him in the face. There were three nicely fresh scratches on his cheek.
"Don't talk too much. Always pay attention to surprise attacks." He smirked, and got into fighting stance. I did the same, darkness filled the sky, so the air had cooled down. It felt great on my skin. We both charged at each other, kicking and punching. Soon he got down, and swiped at my feet. I jumped in the air, and kicked him in the face.
"Don't use cheap moves unless you have to. And always be aware of your attacker, even if you are using a move. Don't want to get caught off guard now do we?" He got back up, and grumbled something I couldn't hear. I got into stance, and used the palm of my hand to hit him in the chin but he grabbed my forearm.
We stood there for a second, and I could feel his hot, musky breath on my face. Sweat was beading down on my face, and my knees buckled. Why? I had no idea. I stared up into his dark brown eyes while he stared into my bright hazel ones. Then, he kneed me in the stomach. He let go of my arm while I fell down, clutching my stomach.
"I think that's enough for today's training. We should go to bed."
"Oh, come on! It's only eleven at night! Plus the air feels good on my skin."
"Your hurt, and we need our strength. I should tell you, when we fight the Saiyans, don't get caught up in your thoughts."
"But I wasn't getting caught up-" I stopped, and closed my mouth. What ever that moment was he didn't want to hear about it. We should just treat it like it never happened. It shouldn't have happened, and it meant nothing. The full moon was out tonight, and I had been trying my hardest not to look at it. I knew what kind of damages that would happen if I looked at it. Sucked if you ever wanted to take a midnight stroll.
"Piccolo, should we check on Gohan tonight? I think we should at least watch over him."
"Why?" He asked. He was sitting in meditation, ready to go to sleep.
"Well, I'm just worried, that's all." I almost looked at the moon, but caught myself.
"He'll be fine, no need to worry about the-" A huge roar interrupted him.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Piccolo screamed, jumping up from the ground.
"That would be Gohan." I smiled grimly, knowing this wouldn't be good.
"How in the world is that Gohan? A four year old child does not make that kind of noise!"
"He does if he is a giant ape. Us Saiyans turn into huge apes when we look at the full moon." I used instant transmission, grabbing onto Piccolo before I teleported. We landed a few miles away from Gohan, but you could clearly see him. His huge ape like body was tearing up mountains left and right.
"If we don't stop him, the world will be gone before the Saiyans even get here!" Piccolo screamed, and flew to Gohan. I grabbed his leg, halting his efforts.
"We need to cut his tail off, or blow up the moon." I paused thinking, "which one is easier?"
"Shouldn't cutting his tail off be easier?" He looked up at Gohan, and shivered slightly.
"It would if you didn't have a rampaging ape protecting it. I could try to go ape myself, but there is no guarantee of controlling that side of myself." I doubted the plan, but if push came to shove, I would have no choice.
"I think we should deal with one ape instead of two." I nodded my head, grateful I wouldn't have to transform.
"You go keep Gohan busy, I'll cut the tail off." Piccolo told me, and I bristled instantly.
"Why do I have to keep him busy?"
"Because you would be staring in his face the whole time. If you tried to cut off the tail, then you might get a glimpse of the moon and transform." I nodded, and flew off to Gohan. I landed on a rock that was in front of him.
"Here apey, apey, apey. Aunt Mindy is here, come and get me!" I yelled, and Gohan turned to face me with his red eyes. He roared, and his fist came down to my spot. I jumped to a lower rock that was to the right.
"Whoa! Don't try to smash me! I'm your aunt for crying out loud!" He roared again, and his fist came side ways to hit me. I jumped up to dodge it. I flew up to Gohan and stood on his snout. I placed both hands on my ears, and stuck my tongue out.
"You smelly, big, ape! Come and get me! I'll show you a chase buddy!" I flew off when he tried to punch me, and he punched his own face. I chuckled, and blasted off with a very mad Gohan behind me. I was too fast for Gohan, so he started breathing red Ki blast from his mouth at me. I did the Bubble shield, because I didn't have a chance to dodge it. He stopped, and I flew to the left, away from him so he could follow.
"Mindy! Keep the brat still! I can't get the aim on him if he's moving like this!"
"Well you try this! If I stay still, I'll get hit!" I said, stopping in the air looking at Piccolo.
"Why don't you move in front of him?" He yelled back, and I dodged Gohan's huge slap.
"He gets smart you know!" I kicked the ape's belly but it didn't hurt him.
"This isn't working! Screw this, I'm blowing up the moon!" Piccolo screamed. He flew into the sky, and I sensed him making a blast.
"Hey, monkey boy! Let's see if you can get me one more time!" I screamed at Gohan, and he roared while swiping a hand at me. I didn't see it so he grabbed a hold of me. I screamed, "let go! Gohan it's me! Let go!" The ape jumped up and down, showing off his prize, me.
"Green bean, hurry!" Then I felt a beam, then heard a big BOOM! Gohan let go of me, and started to shrink back to his own kid size again.
"Damn kid almost killed me, if he wasn't my nephew. . ." I held up a fist, showing off my irritation. I turned my anger towards Piccolo also.
"Took you long enough! What were you doing back there, taking a vacation?" I screamed, throwing punches his way. He grabbed both of my hands to stop me, and something in his eyes made me forget about everything.
"Look, the moon is gone so we have nothing to worry about." He looked into my eyes a second longer, than looked over at Gohan.
"Kid needs new clothes, don't need him running around naked do we?" Piccolo shot his arm out, and Gohan appeared with new Gi clothes on, and a sword also.
"Awe, you gave him a sword! Look at how nice you are!" I giggled, and Piccolo furrowed his eyebrows.
"I needed something to cut his tail off with," he tried making excuses, but I knew he was being nice. Who knew Piccolo could be nice to someone? He cut off Gohan's tail, and then threw the discarded tail into the river.
"That will grow back in about a year." I said, looking at how weird Gohan looked without his tail.
"It won't really matter since there is no moon." I brought my tail up to my face, letting it softly caress my cheek.
"Too bad, part of me wanted to try and control that side of me. Do you know how much power my little tail contains?" I laughed when my tail started doing the wave.
"I'm sure everyone would be better off if you didn't have that power." I grimaced, remembering grandpa Gohan.
"Yeah, my father of sorts on this planet would still be alive if it weren't for this power." I looked down at the ground, completely interested in the dirt.
"That's something we have in common, we both lost our fathers to an uncontrollable power." I wanted to say that his father was evil, and should be killed no matter what the circumstances, but I didn't have it in me. I nodded my head towards him, and bent down over Gohan.
"Sleep kiddo, you have a rough next five months ahead of you." I ruffled his hair, and stood back up.
"Let's go, we need to train up when those Saiyans come. I don't want to be unprepared." He nodded silently at me, and we both left Gohan to finish his training.
SOO? Did you like it? Sorry if Piccolo was out of charater. That's gonna happen more often . . . I would like to thank DBZTomboy for reviewing last chapter! You rock! Review please!
