Chapter Ten: Can't fight the Moonlight
With the determination to become super saiyans fresh on their minds they continued in the increasingly difficult training from Goku and Vegeta. Three months passed from the day they saw super saiyan with their own eyes. Now thank the stars they were starting to see their progress. In that time all the teens had mastered energy attacks and even formed new one's of their own. Goku taught them all how to sense other power levels, both strong and weak alike. Even taught them how to lower theirs if they were in a tight spot and needed to hideout and recover for a while. The routine had changed a bit though. When they were all accustomed to both Vegeta's fighting style and Goku's the Saiyan mentors took to picking at random who was paired together and who they were learning under. At the moment, Kaylynn and Naomi were learning from and living at Goku's house for the two weeks, while poor Hideo was stuck with being Vegeta's full center of attention. Anytime they saw him at school he looked exhausted or walked with a slight limp.
Bulma saw the kid's progress in school and was more then proud. It was difficult after all for people from a completely different planet to get accustomed to the ways of earth. She ended up signing the kid's up for one full day instead of their three half days. Now to the saiyan visitors dismay they had one full day of class and three half days. It was disheartening. Sure it was important in some aspects but now they were losing time they had to train! Being saviors of the earth one day trumped getting a high school diploma in Naomi's book. All well, the teachers adored her. They thought she was brilliant. For a "foreign exchange student." at least. Now when she had to write a book report she didn't struggle near as much and had gotten comfortable enough to read it in front of the entire class.
That morning was the morning of their first full day of school. Kaylynn and Naomi had taken to flying to school even though Goku always offered to teleport them. The sister's actually enjoyed the time alone with each other in the early morning. Though Kaylynn was feeling strange at the time. She seemed on edge and snapped and anyone who came near her. Including poor Goten who they had left behind to catch up. Naomi decided to approach they subject gently.
"Hey sis…is something wrong?" Naomi asked quietly as they weaved between a couple of tree tops. They really shouldn't be flying that close to the ground but the land was still a little unfamiliar to them and that was the best way to make sure they were going the right way. Kaylynn crossed her arms as she flew as if to think of an answer.
"I'm fine." she replied and was going to leave it at that but looking into her sister's big innocent eyes she caved and spilled her guts. "Just…restless I guess."
"Restless?" Naomi asked and even stopped in her tracks so she could continue the conversation properly instead of having to keep her eyes on what was in front of her. Kaylynn halted as well. Taking in a deep breath and exhaling slowly. Even then, Naomi saw the change in character. It was almost like Kaylynn was twitching. Like muscle spasm's or something.
"Well yeah. We got all this extra power now and what? We still get our asses kicked in training everyday. Yet I know we are like a thousand times stronger then any earthling we come in contact with yet were supposed to blend in like were one of them? Just as weak as them? I have to hide my tail for fuck's sake. It just doesn't seem right. Don't you wanna get into a fight you know you won't lose? Don't you want to let loose and show some of the dumbshit's at school or in town that think they are badass's just how weak they are compared to us? We have worked so hard and have no gratification for it. I don't know…I guess it's hard to explain. I don't want to hurt anyone or anything." But I do Kaylynn thought after she finished her explanation. It actually frightened her how much she wanted to inflict pain on someone. Anyone. It all started a few days ago. Like a need or desire she couldn't quench. It was true training almost seemed futile in training sometimes. No matter how strong they got, Vegeta's and Goku's already immense power raised even if it was just a slight bit in training too. So it was like running on a hamster wheel with no hopes of getting anywhere or stopping.
"No…I know what you mean." Naomi said feeling embarrassed. She had always remained the most peaceful out of her siblings. She just always was that way. She liked to fight sure, and wanted to be a super saiyan and strong just as bad as Kaylynn and Hideo did but she wasn't as violent as they. Nor was she as quick to want to fight as they. Someone look at the two the wrong way and they automatically jumped to wanting to bash their teeth in. Not Naomi. It took a lot for her to actually want to hurt someone. Maybe that was why she seemed to be doing poorly in her training compared to her brother and sister. She just didn't have the fire they did…but the past couple of days how she found that fire. She remembered a kid went past her desk the other day in class and accidentally knocked off her textbook but kept walking away. Naomi had to stop herself from jumping up and grabbing the girl by the back of the head and slamming in on her desk. Demanding she apologize. That wasn't her. Not at all. She had no idea what was possessing her.
"The past few days I just…seem to lose sight of anything but fighting. Getting it out you know…" Naomi said. By "it" she meant the growing power that seemed to be stirring in her that was scratching and clawing to be let loose. A inner voice whispered for her to attack and fight anyone that she came in contact with. Kaylynn looked stunned and placed her hand on her chest.
"Me too. Only a night or two ago it started to get worse. Like I'm…" Kaylynn paused. She didn't want to admit it,
"Losing control." Naomi finished the sentence for her. Knowing all to well what she was trying to say. That was it. They were losing control over there power. Their rage. That wasn't good if it was so. They really could hurt a lot of people or worse kill them. She couldn't forgive herself if that happened. She couldn't even look Goku in the face after that.
"Yes." Kaylynn sighed. This was odd. They were getting virtually everything they wanted since the day they set out in search for earth. They found the legendary super saiyans and had been training under them for a good while now. They were stronger and smarter then they were on the planet they grew up in. Not only that but they also found a close web of friends who cared a lot about them which was unexpected. So why in the hell did they have all this unfocused rage swelling in them? "What do you think we should do?"
"I think we should talk to Goku when we get home from school. He'll know what to do. Maybe he will keep us out of school for a little while until we have a better grasp on it." Naomi suggested and watched Kaylynn sulk. She knew she hated admitting she had a problem. The girl wanted to solve everything on her own.
"I guess."
"You can talk to Vegeta if you would rather. He may even know what to do better then Goku." Naomi added knowing Kaylynn was more partial to Vegeta's teachings then Goku's.
"No. I fear I would disappoint him. He already thinks I'm weak." Kaylynn sighed and felt that rage nipping at her better senses again. She balled up her fists and continued to fly in the direction of the school. Naomi flew after her.
"He doesn't think your weak Kaylynn. He's just trying to encourage us. You know that." Naomi called and wasn't surprised that she didn't get a response. It was clear that she was in a fowl mood and Naomi didn't wanna push the subject since there was little they could do to change it. They discussed on the way there to talk to Hideo and see if he was experiencing the same traits.
When they got to school all the kid's were gathered in the cafeteria eating breakfast. They quickly found Hideo and Naomi rolled her eyes and huffed when they did. He was sprawled on three separate chairs and his head rested on the lap on some thin blonde chick she didn't recognize. To make the sight worse he had about three other girls circled around him. They were giggling and touching his muscles. Four empty trays laid on the table where he had helped himself to the breakfast their. The blonde girl was busy running her finger's through his Mohawk when they walked up.
"Hideo, stop hitting on the misguided girls and come here. We need to talk to you." Kaylynn said placing her hands on her hips disapprovingly. Hideo opened one of his eyes to find hers. A quick yawn escaping him.
"Now? Can't this wait?" his voice sounded annoyed and Kaylynn wanted to hoist him up by his hair if he didn't obey right away. Hideo saw the looks on his sister's faces and knew they weren't up for discussion. He sighed and rolled his eyes, getting up from the comfort of the nice girls lap to sit up and walk to his sisters. The ladies around him protested and a few gripped his leather jacket to stop him from leaving.
"I know, I'm sorry girls, that's my sister's I'll be back soon." Hideo cooed with a quick smirk then stood to follow his sisters. When they were out of earshot Hideo grunted
"You two are the worst cock blocks on the planet you know that?"
"Like I want to know anything about you in that field!" Kaylynn snapped back. Already feeling the need to deck him in the face but when it came to her brother that wasn't an uncommon feeling.
"Anyway," Naomi stated playing the peer mediator that she was accustomed to doing. "Hideo, have you felt any different the past couple of days? Like extremely violent or anything?" Hideo thought about it as the three leaned against one of the brick pillars in the cafeteria.
"Well now that you mention it yeah, but I'm always extremely violent so I don't really think that much of it." Hideo answered with a proud grin. Hideo had a harder time fitting in to the school environment then the girls. After his little bout with that one kid his first day it seemed like every guy in school had something to prove and would pick a fight with him or insult him from afar. Hideo being who he was didn't care to much for that and always reacted by either a light tap from him or an equally nasty insult until they came at him. In that sense word traveled the school and made him both admired or feared throughout the entire school. Causing the other worlder's to get a good boost in popularity. Everyone seemed to know them or think they did and anytime they walked down the hallway with Trunks and Goten they would be crowded with people like they were big important mob bosses or something.
"We've been feeling the same way. If all three of us are experiencing the same thing there has to be something causing it." Naomi said trying to deduce whatever it may be. Hideo shrugged.
"Who cares? If you didn't notice we come from a violent race." Hideo felt a pained memory in his leg when he was trying to train under one hundred times earths gravity and he ended up dropping the weight he was supporting on his foot and it sent a roar of pain throughout his entire leg. Vegeta just laughed at his weakness and directed he start over. "It's just part of being us. It's not like were rampaging through town or anything. We'll get used to it. I think it's more of an asset then a hindrance."
"Maybe…you really don't think there is any cause for alarm?" Naomi asked politely. Still unsure if a change that came on that quick and randomly should be ignored.
"Not at all. Now if you don't mind I have some acquaintances to get more familiar with." Hideo added with a wink before he turned his back to them to go back to the table of girls awaiting him.
"Your being an irresponsible pig." Kaylynn called after him.
"I'm being a seventeen year old boy." Hideo called back with a smirk and the girls rolled there eyes yet again. Hideo turned back to them for a moment. "Come on now don't give me those looks. It's not like I can take it any farther then this. We are to busy running our asses off in training or doing homework for me to go on a date or whatever ritual is done on this planet before mating. After training alone with the sadist I think I deserve a little harmless flirting or intense makeout session don't you think?"
"Hideo you have a responsibility you know. You are the only other full blooded male saiyan in the universe besides Goku and Vegeta. You can't just go around having casual sex with earthlings. What if she ends up producing an offspring? You don't want just anyone to have that kind of honor or responsibility do you?" Naomi asked in a matter of fact voice.
"I'm not! Sheesh. As sisters it's your responsibility to be supportive and feed my ego you know? Also I thought of that and after talking to a few of the guys, did you know they make something here on earth that you can just slide on your junk and it prevents the possibility of having children? This planet has everything." Hideo said proudly then looked back at the table of girls and waved at them. A few other ladies had taken a seat at his table including a very attractive red head and he was eager to get back.
"Ew like I wanted to know!" Naomi said giving Hideo a quick push. Boys and girls really were from different worlds.
"Yeah really. We have more important things to do besides getting laid anyway. Keep your focus Hideo." Kaylynn warned not that she could stop him.
"Speak for yourself." Hideo called and ran happily back to his audience. Kaylynn and Naomi let it go. Sure they had the same feelings when it came to some of the cutie guys at school but that's not like they would act on it. They still had about thirty minutes left before their first class so they lined up to get some breakfast. School food just didn't compare to the cooking of Bulma and Chi Chi. Though there growling tummy's always won the battle. Kaylynn was excited to see they were serving French toast and she quickly loaded her tray up with them. Grabbing a few apples and some juice to add to it. When both their trays were full they took a seat at the empty table remaining in the cafeteria. As Kaylynn gobbled down her food and Naomi daintily nipped at her Trunks and Goten sat at their table. Their own trays of food on the table. Goten sighed.
"Guys you could have at least waited on me instead of running off like that. I was afraid you'd get lost or something." he whined picking at his eggs with his fork. Making the yoke run messy all over his tray.
"We hardly need a male escorting us anywhere we go." Kaylyyn answered with her mouthful of apple. She noticed that anytime they sat together Trunks made it a point to sit next to her. "We are warriors same as you. Besides being forced to come here as often as we are we'd be fools to not remember the way here."
"I didn't say you did. Just thought we'd all go together since you know…were friends right?" Goten asked weakly making Trunks chuckle softly. Goten had a lot to learn when it came to being smooth and impress the opposite sex. He decided to rip a chunk of his toast and watch his friend's humorous process. His eyes traveling to the low cut shirt Kaylynn was wearing. How he loved that shirt.
"Of course were friends Goten." Naomi said smiling. Goten particularly swooned when the girls big round eyes met his. Good thing the girl was clueless when it came to matters of the heart of she'd be heading for the hills at Goten's growing fondness.
"We will all travel together next time we have school if it takes that gesture to prove our friendship." Kaylynn said rolling her eyes. She loved spending time with the saiyan boys but they seemed to cling on to them when they were together. Needy even. It was strange. It was worse when they were surrounded by their other classmates and looking at the enthusiastic group of kids heading towards the table she predicted it would happen yet again. She soon saw a pigtailed brunette she was acquainted with from her math class.
"Hey Kaylynn guess what?" she said happily pulling a spare chair next to Kaylynn. Victoria, Kaylynn recalled her name. Kaylynn offered her a interested expression but did not speak. As soon as she did anytime around her female classmates they would take to talking, and talking and then talk some more. Kaylynn wasn't very fond of that.
"I heard Sky over there fancy's you. Isn't that great? He's the captain of the football team!?" she said excitedly nudging Kaylynn with her elbow. Kaylynn's eyes traveled to the man in question. She had a class with him too. Reading, her worst subject. He had taken to helping her a few times. Showing her tricks to sound out words she couldn't understand from see them. He was tall with spiked up blonde hair and blue eyes. He had something of a physique but still…yuck. To scrawny for her liking. What possible sport could he provide her? Even in the act of mating she'd probably break him in half. Earthlings were hard to keep her interest. Just…dull. He caught her staring and gave her a wink. Instead she looked away and back to her friends and the other acquaintances.
"Good for him." Kaylynn smirked. "I think he will find disappointment."
"Aw, why not?" Victoria whined. "He's cute." Lord knew besides their little group, Sky and his band of friends were the most popular in the school and half the girls around them would give up their left arm at a chance to date him. Trunks tried his best at a casual stretch as he draped his arm over Kaylynn's shoulder.
"Kaylynn is more interested in a different type of man." Trunks smirked and took a sip of his orange juice. Kaylynn let his arm remain there. That was the kind of things that bugged her. Did friends have to touch and look at each other in such ways to show their relationship all the time? It was kind of tiresome. Little known to her the whole school thought they were dating due to Trunks gestures and glares of possession when other guys were around. It would happen after all. Just lacking at the moment.
"We have a lot of stuff do to after school anyway. We really don't have time to go on dates or stuff like that." Naomi offered politely as an explanation. Victoria laughed and looked towards the table Hideo was sitting at.
"That doesn't seem to stop your brother." she nodded. Naomi was repulsed to see Hideo in a heavy make out session with the redheaded girl for the entire cafeteria to see. His hand currently on her back and under her shirt as she sat on his lap.
"He's a bit overzealous admitted." Kaylynn grunted and rolled her eyes. He was going to make fitting in even harder if he kept stuff like that up. Never the less, the more you pushed him to act a certain way the more he rebelled by acting the complete opposite. So leaving it alone was the best option. The bell rang signaling for the first class to begin. Trunks and Goten had class on the opposite side of the school so they broke away from each other and walked with Hideo to their class. Kaylynn wanting to smack her horndog brother but refrained. The normal crowd of people following them like lost puppies. Just wanting to be close to the saiyans popularity. To their surprise blocking their path was a guy named Butch and his brainless friends. Hideo and he had gotten into squabbles a few times. Usually ending with the brutes face bruised by one of Hideo's fists. He didn't know why he hated him so much but the kid was relentless in trying to start fights with Hideo. He was standing before him with his fists clenched and the vein in his head bulging. He stomped closer to Hideo.
"You have gone to far this time you foreign freak!" Butch yelled and sensing the fight that was about to come everyone but his sisters and Butch's gang scampered away. Leaving them the soul inhabitants in that particular hallway. Hideo scoffed. The guy really was huge and even taller then Hideo. Would be intimidating if he really was just a fellow earthling.
"What is your problem now Butch?" Hideo sighed. Butch clenched his fists even tighter. Naomi and Kaylynn crept forward so that they could stop the six other people from ganging up an Hideo were it to escalate into a fight. Of course his little gang were not at all threatened and laughed at the defensive stance the girls took. Kaylynn grinned. Awaiting to enjoy the look of surprise of their faces when her "little girl" fists broke their spines.
"That girl you had your nasty lips all over was my girlfriend, you bastard!" Butch yelled. Alerting the teachers nearby of the events going on. Cockily Hideo raised an eyebrow and asked
"Which one?" he smirked. That was enough for Butch to send his fist raging towards Hideo. Effortlessly Hideo caught it then twisted his arm until it almost snapped in half. Kaylynn and Naomi rushed towards the cavalry that came charging at Hideo. Knowing they were much stronger then the attackers Naomi merely pushed them out of the way and onto their backs on the floor. Kaylynn on the other hand gave a good tap to the face to any of them that came her way. She loved how little force she had to use against them and still cause their noses to bleed. She felt her heart beat wildly. Urging her to not stop there but finish it. She had to hold herself back with all her might. The need to crush and break anyone in her way bubbling inside her. She looked over at Naomi whose hands were shaking so she knew she was feeling the same thing.
Hideo had Butch by his arm still and he was crumpled down on the floor. Yelping in pain and trying to jerk his arm free. Hideo genuinely enjoying feeling the tiny pops and cracks in his attackers arm as it reached breaking point.
"How many times must I teach you this lesson?" Hideo smirked and had the teachers not came running at them he was deeply considering breaking his arm all the way through. The teachers circled around them and stood in between the saiyan girls and the other kids. The principal of the school stomping forward point his finger at Hideo who took the hint and finally let go of Butch but remained where he stood. Thoughts of harming the approaching principal running through his head.
"Finally I caught you in the act!" the principal yelled and stopping in front of Hideo but not before lifting the injured Butch back on his feet. "We've known for a long time that you have been getting into these brutalities on school grounds but we've never had any proof until now. You are in a lot of trouble young man." he announced. He had think oval glasses and a giant bald spot on the top of his head. Hideo clenched his fists. Yeah he got in a lot of fights but he never started any of them. What was he supposed to do? Let them attack him or keep running their mouth?
"You misunderstand sir, he attacked me." Hideo said shoving his fists in his leather jacket pockets. His rage growing. Wondering why he had to answer to authority figures that were so much weaker then him. If he wanted to he could…
"A likely story." The principal wailed. "We know full and well you have been picking on our students since you have arrived. Well I have news for you. All of you-" he turned to look at Kaylynn and Naomi as well. "You have detention, for a week! All three of you will be staying after school today to begin your detention. If this keeps up I will suspend you. I will not tolerate violence in my school!"
"This is insane! We can not stay after school were wasting enough time in this damn building anyway." Kaylynn yelled hearing her heart beat loud in her ears. It was almost drowning out the principals words. Naomi gripped her shaking arm afraid Kaylynn was seconds away from losing her grip.
"You watch your language young lady! I'm sorry you don't see your education as important but you broke the rules so this is the consequence." the principal said in a stern voice.
"And I do not pick on anyone! I don't need to pick fights to prove my strength." Hideo argued but it was futile. They were going to be stuck at school long after they were supposed to leave. Hideo feared the worst since he was going to report late for Vegeta's training. He could only image what other punishment awaited him. Kaylynn was furious. Now they had even less time to train. If she hadn't promised Bulma she would stay in school she'd have flown off then and there. Kaylynn didn't break her promises but this incident wasn't helping with her growing rage. As they started to walk to their next class Hideo heard Butch call out "This isn't over!" and he simply rolled his eyes. He would have turned to say his own remark but he didn't want to exacerbate the situation. He had already turned Hideo's lovely morning into a shitty day.
When the teens went to all their classes they couldn't concentrate. Everyone was to angry for their own reasons to focus on anything else. The sound of Hideo's pencil snapping in half every time he placed it on his paper from the sheer force. He went through twelve pencil's that day before he gave up and let his work remain on his desk unfinished. Naomi was feeling her own discomfort as the anger took her over. She didn't listen to a word any of the teachers said. She was just trying to focus on calming herself down but nothing worked. She just kept looking around the classroom. Now that she could sense power levels she could tell she was substantially stronger then everyone. It drove her crazy. Especially how Hideo was being wrongfully punished. Hideo could be a bit out there but he meant no harm to anyone. Then they have to be punished when the real attackers were able to roam free. Hardly justice. Kaylynn was unearthly quiet and Naomi could only image the violent ideas that were going through her head. Luckily she didn't act on any of them though she took to ignoring even her siblings until it was time to go to their detention. Trunks and Goten had heard about what happened and as soon as school was over they waited for them in the cafeteria for them to show where their detention was going to be held. Something their gracious teachers had forgotten to tell them. As they lead them Trunks protested.
"This is such bullshit. If they cared to do some research they would know that asshole targeted Hideo all the time. I'm sorry dude." Trunks said looking behind him at Hideo.
"Yeah these teachers here are so narrow minded. If he had picked at me all those times I would have decked him in the face by now too." Goten agreed. Pushing his long black hair past his shoulder. Looking at Naomi for a brief second, this also ruined his time he had with her. All well. He still had about a week with Naomi. Trunks was jealous that he had both the girls at his place which Goten was ecstatic about it but he always had to come up with new excuses to train just to be close to them. He had also received a lecture from his mother about getting close to them so he had to tread lightly.
"Don't worry we'll tell the folks what happened and how it wasn't your fault." Trunks said when they finally stopped at the classroom they were expected to stay in. From glancing inside only two or three other students would be joining them. Stupid extra credit assignments written on the board. Like they were going to do them or something.
"I can come back when it's over." Trunks offered carefully. Kaylynn shook her head but didn't respond. None of them seemed very talkative so regrettably Trunks and Goten left them to their fate. Being the last one in Naomi slammed the door behind her. Startling both the teacher and the other students. She plopped down in her chair with her arms crossed. Praying time would go by quick but it didn't. It was like torture sitting there hour after hour. Their minds to busy to focus on anything. Hideo counted the ceiling tiles so many times he knew there were 237 in that particular class room. When they were finally released the saiyans were the first out the door. Racing out the building as though they were on fire despite the teacher's protests for them to not run in the hallway. When they got outside they were surprised to see the sun setting in the horizon. It would be night soon. A whole day wasted in that damn school. Thank the stars they didn't have to return tomorrow. Kaylynn didn't think she could handle a whole week of detention without blowing up the building.
"I'm sorry." Hideo whispered as they walked as far away from the school as they could. "It is my doing we were trapped in their like damn lab rats."
"No it was that assholes fault. Don't apologize in their defense, it makes you look weak." Kaylynn snarled back. They were walking a lot faster then normal and most people would consider it a slow run.
"Were being followed." Naomi said nonchalantly. Already knowing who was behind them just from their power levels. Were anything to come of it she wasn't going to stop it. Not this time.
Hideo turned his head and chuckled loud enough for the stalkers to hear him. Looked like Butch and his little friends had waited for them to get out of detention so they could follow them home. Some people just never quit. That was fine. With his growing fury, it would be a pleasant release.
"Whatever should we do?" Kaylynn asked in a mock concerned voice. Knowing who was after them as well. Hideo spotted an empty alleyway just up ahead so instead of going the rest of the way home he turned into it and walked until he got to a dead end. He smiled a friendly smile to them.
"Hello boys, is there something we can assist you with?" he asked politely causing Kaylynn to smirk. She saw that all of Butch's followers were wielding baseball bats or crowbars. Damn that gal must have really meant something to him. If only the had torches and the world was black and white. Then it would be like one of those monster movies she had watched with Trunks. Butch pointed at Hideo and yelled.
"I told you this wasn't over! Your little sisters can go, but I'm going to make you pay!" Butch reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a switch blade. At this Hideo chuckled again.
"The fact you had to bring weapons already shows me how weak you are. So walk away before you get seriously hurt friend. My "little sisters" alone could destroy you." Hideo said with his sincerest smile. Butch walked closer to him and Hideo calmly left his hands in his jacket pockets.
"I don't know what kind of drugs you are taking to make you freakishly strong but it won't help you now." Butch said and Hideo examined him. He had dirty blonde hair and beady blue eyes. He smirked.
"I realize it now." Hideo said softly.
"Realize what? That your going to get beat down like you deserve?!" Butch retorted. He was really close to Hideo now.
"No. Why your girlfriend preferred to spend time with me over you. Your lacking in both fighting and the looks department. It's a curse to be gifted with both." Hideo smirked. Butch's eyes narrowed and he went to slash at Hideo's face. Discouragingly Hideo just moved and dodged out of the knife's path. His hands still remaining in his pockets. The second one of Butch's friends took a step towards them that was enough for Kaylynn and she charged towards them. One of the boys swung their bat at her but she caught it and jabbed the opposite end into his stomach. Making him double over in pain so she kicked him out of the way. Naomi followed both catching a bat and throwing it to the side then doing the same with a crowbar. Finally throwing her own punches at the boys faces. Even though she was holding back one of the attackers had lost a tooth due to her punches. Kaylynn ditched the bat and found it much more satisfying to inflict injuries with her own hands as well. To her dismay after they easily defeated a few of them the rest ran away. She let them go and instead turned back to Hideo's and Butch's fight.
Hideo decided to stop dodging and let the knife hit the top of his shoulder. Butch's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he saw. The blade on his knife had snapped apart. Like he had just slammed it on a brick wall or something. Hideo looked to the broken knife on his shoulder then back to Butch. An evil smile coming across his face. Butch stammered backwards in fear and Hideo finally pulled one of his fists out of his pocket.
"Satisfied?" he asked calmly. Taking slow steps toward him. He grunted when he looked back to his shoulder and saw the bastard and cut a hole in his favorite jacket. "Just so you understand, to leave me alone from now on and how outmatched you are." Hideo continued. Instead of punching Butch he simply took his thumb and index fingers and flicked Butch in between his eyes just above his nose. Butch screamed out in pain but Hideo clasped his hand over his mouth so it wouldn't cause alarm. Catching him before he fell to the ground. From the tiny gesture Butch's nose now poured blood. His head feeling as though it had been spilt in two. This was not humanly possible. Hideo let him go and took a few steps back. With his free hand he summoned up a tiny ki attack. Watching Butch's eyes widen in panic. Hideo smirked. "Now dance fucker, dance."
Hideo stated sending his tiny ki attacks at the ground near Butch's feet. He hopped around like a madman trying to avoid the unknown attack coming at him though Hideo was not aiming at him. After a very amusing display he stopped and put his hand back in his pocket. Butch was frightened to the point he was shaking and didn't know what to do or what the hell just happened. He turned his head to the girls who were standing there like everything was normal.
"Run." Kaylynn smirked and with that the boy took off without anymore provocation. Kaylynn watched the sight in amusement. How very different saiyans and humans were indeed. Naomi was still feeling the rage of battle but she disproved of Hideo showing him his powers. They did go to the school with the guy and soon rumors and talk would start about exactly how different they were from the other students.
"Well that was fun." Hideo said noticing that night had come and the stars were now lighting their path. "We should probably get go-" he started to explain but he stopped in mid sentence. Staring off into the distance like he was mesmerized. In a trance. He breathed in and out deeply and gritted his teeth. A very low growl came from him. Kaylynn raised her eyebrow at her brother's strange behavior and Naomi approached him. Putting her hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Naomi asked and he didn't answer. He kept staring angrily in the distance. She followed his train of sight to see what he was looking at but she immediately looked away. The moon was out. A full moon. Even without their tails it still had a strong grip on them. She looked over at Kaylynn who still had hers and warned. "Kaylynn don't look!" Though of course when one says that the person always looked. Naomi was now running to Kaylynn whose whole body was shaking as she fought the transformation that was taking over her.
"Fight it Kaylynn. Not here." Naomi urged and Kaylynn sighed. Concentrating purely on making her body stay as it was. She succeeded. More evolved and powerful saiyans could hold off the transformation and Kaylynn smirked knowing she was now in the caliber. What she could not prevent however was new wave of strength and aggression taking over her. The need from earlier now completely out of her control. Naomi was glad to see her sister fight off the transformation but now she was feeling her own issues. It was like the moon was beckoning her to turn towards it. A whisper that she couldn't understand or shake off. The invisible strings holding her pulled her in the direction of the moon and she took in the light from it. Feeling all the power it provided her coursing through her veins. Slowly feeling herself slipping. When she looked back at Hideo and Kaylynn their muscles were bulged out and their eyes were now blood red. All of them surrendering to the moon and acting on pure instinct now.
"Let's fuck something up." Hideo laughed. Looking around. Wondering just how fast an entire city would crumble to the likes of them.
"No. I want a challenge. I want a real fight." Kaylynn said her eyes still focused on the moon. God it was beautiful. The teens nodded in agreement. That was the only real way the could get their frustrations out and use the new power to it's full potential. Naomi using her powers searched for the strongest person left on earth besides their masters. She felt a power level very strong off in the distance. They took flight and chased after the unknown person in question.

Tien and Chiaotzu had just gotten done eating their lunch and Tien considered training the rest the night but it was growing stale. Any world martial arts tournament he entered he'd win with minimum effort. He was certain he had maxed out his powers and his goal to defeat Goku ended long ago. Seems like just about everyone of the Z fighters at one time's soul purpose was to beat Goku in battle. Goku simply would not lose. That's what drove him. Even Chiaotzu had given up training after he was brought back to life after he sacrificed himself to defeat Nappa. Maybe he should too. Only then what? Fighting is all he knew. He remembered Mr. Satan offering him a job at his dojo training his eager students. Maybe he should take him up on that. Hell his students would learn more from him then the man himself after all. Chiaotzu noticed his friends silence as he cleaned up their dishes and asked
"Is everything alright Tien? You seem awful quiet." his tiny voice shook Tien from his thought. He let out his best carefree laugh.
"I'm fine Chiaotzu. Just thinking is all." Tien answered. His third eye looking away from his friend and to the clock hanging in the small Capsule Corp house. The night was young. Maybe he should do a little training before bed. Suddenly he felt three strong presences heading towards them. They felt unfamiliar to him. None of the people he usually hung around. Chiaotzu felt it too. Maybe the earth was being invaded? Some other force rising to the surface to claim earth as their own. But why come there? He rose to his feet so fast the chair he was sitting in crashed to the ground.
"What do you think it is?" Chiaotzu asked. Feeling worry start to consume him. Tien ran out the front door to investigate with Chiaotzu following close behind. Only problem was as soon as he got outside he felt a boot connect with his face, slinging him further back in his front yard. When the dust cleared he saw three…teenagers standing before him. Chiaotzu came running at him calling out his name. Tien wiped off a bit of dirt from his face and stood. Looking at the three to try and get a grasp on what was going on. He noticed one of the girls had a tail. A saiyan tail. Then he remembered, Piccolo had told him three saiyans had come to earth to learn under Goku and Vegeta. Well that made sense on who they were but why were they there and more importantly why did they attack upon meeting him?
"What is it you want strangers?" Tien ordered keeping a close watch on all of them. Kaylynn laughed and took a step forward,
"You are one of the few earthlings here that show promise. So we wanna fight. Seeing how nothing else here could provide us any fun." She answered. Tien saw her glowing red eyes and felt uneasy. In no circumstance could that be a good thing. Then a thought occurred to him and he turned to look up at the full moon in the sky. Was that the cause? Then again if they were saiyans why were they not great ape's right now? Something was wrong.
"If it's a fight you want why not consult your teachers on the matter. I'm sure you will find more fun there." Tien said trying to avoid fighting them if he could. He didn't doubt his abilities but he was outnumbered and the saiyans were looking at him with bloodthirsty eyes. He definatly didn't want Chiaotzu to get hurt and he would no doubt assist in the fight as soon as it started.
"We would, but they are a lot stronger then we are and we wanna see what the earth inhabitants have to offer." Hideo offered and he smiled as he saw Tien take a defensive stance. "See our idea of fun at the moment means beating someone weaker then us to death. Never took a life before, I wonder how thrilling that can be." he smirked. Tien raised his eyebrows. Something was definatly wrong. Just in the way he spoke he could tell. Like he was being controlled or altered in someway. Dende had seen to these kid's personally so they couldn't be evil. Something was making them act this way. The look in Hideo's eyes was purely animalistic.
"I'd be careful if I was you." Tien answered taking a few steps back. Ready to call up his multi form which would make things run a lot smoother. "I lived that life once upon a time and it doesn't provide anything but misery. I don't think you will take it to your liking."
"Let's find out." Hideo laughed and took to flight towards Tien. Tien braced but as soon as Hideo was within striking distance a stray energy blast hit him making him fly backwards into a rock formation. Hideo stayed stuck inside the rock and looked to the source of the attack and growled. Tien looked up too and smiled. Hovering in mid air above them was Piccolo. He must have sensed the saiyans swift change in power and came to see what was going on himself.
"Don't be selfish. Spread the fun around." Piccolo's gruff voice called. Hideo blasted the rocks out of his way with his aura and glared furiously at the Namekian.
"What a nice surprise. Didn't think you were much a fighter taking orders from our masters like an obedient pet." Hideo called back. Kaylynn looked up in humor as well. Good. Maybe they would have a decent fight after all. Piccolo huffed.
"Is that so?" Piccolo asked and threw off his weighted cape and turban which crashed onto the ground. "Prepare for a rude awakening then, be glad it is me teaching you this lesson over your master's kid. The best show of pity I can give you."
"Aw, are you going to tell on me?" Hideo teased and smirked. Not wasting anymore time Hideo jumped at Piccolo. The thought of seeing what pretty color of blood the alien had to offer popped in his head. Just like that the battle began. The girls leapt at Tien who urged Chiaotzu to stay out of the way until he was needed. The kids had already surpassed his power and the enraged teens would settle for nothing less then bloodshed. He was even struggling blocking both the girls. Kaylynn saw his weak point and kicked him in the stomach as soon as his guard broke. Tien stumbled but was able to catch and block the following attacks by the two. To get them off his he sent a Dodon ray at Kaylynn who barely dodged in time to miss it. A now burned slash cut through her spaghgetti strapped shirt. She growled at this and sent a ki attack at him right back at him. Tien caught the beam and instead of sending it at Kaylynn he sent it at Naomi. She smacked it away and her eyes burned through Tien who sighed. This wasn't going to be easy.
Above Piccolo and Hideo's fight raged on. Piccolo was on the attack and Hideo pushed his punch wide and away from him to deliver a punch to the Namekian's face. Piccolo was stunned at how powerful the kid's punch was. In his vulnerable state Hideo repeatedly punched his stomach and chest finishing his attack with a double fisted punch at the back of his head which sent him hurdling towards the ground. Hideo chuckled in triumph looking at Piccolo laying on the ground. Then he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around to see…Piccolo standing directly behind him. Hideo in confusion looked back to the ground where he still lay then back to the Piccolo in front of him. Now Piccolo was the one who smirked after he punched the kid across the face. It didn't halt his attack at that. Instead he kicked and punched him with intensity. Hideo didn't have time to gather himself as the Namekians attacks continued. He felt his lip split and one of his ribs crack. Damn.
Finally Piccolo stopped to let the boy catch his breath. Hideo was beyond angry at this point. He gripped his side and glared at Piccolo then once more at the fallen copy on the ground.
"How?!" Hideo demanded. Piccolo laughed and nodded towards the ground.
"Look around you kid. It's a technique." was his only source of an explanation. Hideo looked at his sisters battle and saw Tien had also split into two different forms of himself that was fighting one of the girls each.
"Looks like you need more tranning." Piccolo laughed. And Hideo roared in Rage. Before he attacked Piccolo gestured to his left and Hideo saw yet another Piccolo behind him that was powering up an attack using only his middle and index fingers. Hideo tried to move out of the way but it was to late. The attack hit him full blast and as he was flying backwards the first Piccolo kicked him even harder so that when his body collided with a cliff he crashed right through it landing on the other side.
Kaylynn was getting the best of Tien she was fighting. She grabbed the back of his head and forced it to her knee. Blooding his nose and making him freeze in place. She grinned then decided to try an attack she hadn't attempted yet. Vegeta had taught it to her so that were only one of her arms in use she could use it instead of the normal two handed attacks. Powering her ki into her index and middle finger a bright flash of orange filled the night sky. She whispered "Final Impact." with a wicked smile. It had worked and the orange beam pierced through her victims mid section and fell on his back. She was thoroughly enjoying herself at this point. She started stomping towards the fight Naomi was in to aid her sister but the sudden wave of power she sensed stopped her. She twisted around to see Tien back on his with his hands forming a triangle at chest height.
"Tri Beam!" he screamed. Kaylynn attempted to jump out of the way but the energy blast was in the shape of a triangle as well which made it very difficult to dodge. It hit her and she yelped in pain as she skidded across the earths surface. With pure rage fueling her she jumped back to her feet only to be met with an identical attack. Making her smash back to the ground.
Naomi refrained from sending any ki attacks and resorted to pure punches and kicks. When Tien got a glimpse into her eyes he gasped. There was something there…like torment. Like she didn't want to be doing the things she was doing but she couldn't help herself. When they broke a part from her Tien tried to reason with her.
"What's wrong? Tell me what it is so I can help you!" he pleaded. He watched Naomi shake for a few minutes. Like she was fighting it as hard as she could but she couldn't remain in control. She looked at Tien and instead of answering she attacked again. He tried to dodge and block best he could without hurting her.
Hideo emerged from the ground in a scream. His aura red aura surrounding him. He ripped his now ruined jacked off of him to where he was only wearing a ripped muscle shirt. Piccolo made the mistake of revealing to him his locations and now he was flying back towards him. Energy beam in each hand. He unleashed it and didn't stop at the two beams. He sent one after the other. His power coursing through him to the point the didn't care if he burned himself out. All he cared about was Piccolo meeting his end. Both Piccolos dodged but soon Hideo's endless attack engulfed him. Forcing his copy back inside of the original as he was forced to the ground. Receving beam after beam from Hideo which started to sizzle his flesh and he let out a pained gasp. The attack halted for a minute but as he sat to get up Hideo was right in front of him with an even more powerful attack in his hands. He Didn't release it until he was only an inch above Piccolo's chest and a small explosion came upon impact.
Now Goku and Vegeta were on the scene. Wondering what was taking their students so long to return from school. Then they felt the battle going on and came as soon as they could. They floated above the scene and Goku's eyes scanned the battle in horror. This wasn't them? What was going on?
"What's happened to them?" Goku asked looking at the red eyes that now took over his students true ones. The Piccolo Hideo had first sent flying towards the ground in the beginning of there fight appeared alongside them. Looking down on the battle himself.
"You tell me. When I arrived the three were willing to gang up on Tien just for sport." Piccolo answered. Disapproval in his voice but this wasn't their fault. The saiyan teens were taught better then that.
"It's the moon." Vegeta said flatly. His arms crossed over his chest as usual. "Even without their tails where they are just now realizing their powers the moon is making them act this way. Usually if it's in this form and the Oozaru it means they have a lot of pent up agression the moon brought out. The only things on their minds is to destroy. I'd say it has a lot to do with their age. Like a right of passage." Piccolo scoffed.
"So you are telling me that all this is happening because these kid's are going through puberty?" he asked. Vegeta shrugged.
"In a matter," he answered. Then Piccolo remembered a similar situation when he had first trained Gohan. Gohan had acted like a ravenous beast but didn't transform. He was only a child but was close to overpowering Piccolo at the time. He had to resort to blowing up the moon to stop him.
"Should we destroy the moon?" Piccolo asked. Vegeta shook his head. "No we will take it from here."
