Part 31: "Garlic Junior Saga"
Somewhere on the Federation colony of Chikyuu, a diminutive figure, cloaked in a purple robe, surveys the scene of unadulterated carnage.
"My Lord!" said a blue skinned demon, as he kneels before the figure while presenting what appeared to be one of the fabled Dragonballs. "We have one of your balls!"
"Excellent," said the figure known as "Garlic, Jr.", as he accepts the orange sphere. "Soon, not only will I have all the Dragonballs, once again, but I will release the Black Water Mist from Kami's Lookout…"
Pause.
"And I will have my revenge on the Z Warriors, especially on the Moon Princess and that husband and son of hers. So says I, Garlic, Jr.!"
The next day at the Son Residence….
"Thank you for being there for Gohan and me, Mother," Chi-Chi said, as she and Usagi Tsukino-Saotome sat in the living room drinking tea while eating mini-sandwiches and cookies. "With Goku gone, it's been difficult trying to…fill the void, so to speak."
"Dear, Goku WILL return home," Usagi said, as she nibbled on her sandwhich. "Ranma and I have contacts all over the Alpha Quadrant, including in the Uncharted Territories. Plus, if something DID happen to my son, Ranma and I would have felt it."
"That's the only thing that is giving me any hope…"
Just then, the door to the house could be heard being opened.
"Mom, we're back!" Gohan yelled, as he, his grandfather Ranma and his other grandfather the Ox King entered the living room. "And we got dinner!"
"Gohan, didn't I tell you NOT to come into the house, unless it's through the kitchen?" Chi-Chi yelled.
"Chi-Chi, calm down," said Ox King.
"Yeah, don't be such a sour puss," Ranma said.
"I AM NOT A SOUR PUSS-!"
Chi-Chi stopped her yelling upon feeling the reassurance of Usagi's hand on her left shoulder.
"Chi-Chi," Usagi said.
Chi-Chi sighed, as she collected herself.
"Okay," Chi-Chi began to say. "Gohan, in the future, please come through the back. Okay, dear?"
"Yes, Mom!" Gohan said happily. "I promise!"
"Alright, kiddo, let's go clean some fish," Ranma said.
"And I'll get the grill ready," said Ox King. "We're going to have a virtual banquet tonight…"
After the males left the living room, Chi-Chi breathes a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for stopping me from making a fool of myself," Chi-Chi said.
"Hey, as one mother to another, I know that it is hard to let go of habits involving family," Usagi said. "And speaking of which, are you going to let Gohan go to the party at Kame's House?"
"Well, normally, I wouldn't want that pervert Master Roshi anywhere near my son," Chi-Chi said. "However, considering the nature of the party, I suppose I can make this one exception."
"My, you're certainly are getting mellow."
"Well, I try. I just…I just hope that Goku returns someday."
"You and me both…"
The next day…
"Happy Birthday!" yelled everyone, as the Z Warriors celebrated Turtle's 1000-year birthday.
"Oh, thank you, my friends!" Turtle said happily.
"Wait, I forgot to light the candles," Ranma said, as he took a single breath, and used the Art of Fire Bending to light all 1000 candles on the cake.
FWOOSH!
"Yow!" Master Roshi said. "Hey, watch the beard, man!"
"So, you're Ranma Saotome," said Marron, as she leans over towards Ranma. "I'm Marron."
"Um, yeah," Ranma replied wearily, having sensed that Krillan's girlfriend was coming on to him.
"Well, it looks like Ranma caught another," Yamcha said with a chuckle.
"Hey!" Krillan yelled. "Aren't you married?"
"I don't mind," Marron said sexily, even as Ranma broke out into a sweat.
"Aren't you worried about Ranma cheating on you?" Bulma asked Usagi.
"Bulma, I have not been able to be intimate with Ranma because of the acidic nature of my blood, Bulma," Usagi said, as she took a sip of her drink. "If Ranma wants to engage in slutty behavior, that's HIS concern."
"Hey!" Ranma yelled. "I'm the victim in all this-!"
"Oh, that's right," Bulma said. She and Usagi were working on a cure for Usagi's affliction. Otherwise, Usagi could accidentally hurt Ranma, if Ranma takes Usagi's virginity. With that, the brilliant, yet headstrong, adventurer decided to change the subject.
"So, I was saying how I think I was able to track Goku's possible trajectory, based upon the telemetry data from Dad," Bulma said, as she passed to Usagi her data pad.
"I see," Usagi said, as she read the data. "This is VERY deep within the Uncharted Territories, but I do recognize these star systems."
"Well, that's good to know," Bulma said. "It is just too bad that you and Ranma would have to leave Chikyuu in order to retrieve Goku."
"I wouldn't worry about it," Usagi said. "Space traveling is something Ranma and I tend to do on a regular basis anyway, and, sooner or later, we have to return to Earth."
"I've been to Earth a few times, whenever Dad has to sell Capsule Corp stuff or give a research presentation," Bulma said. "Pretty dull place."
"Considering the fact that Chikyuu is always being attacked from both within and beyond, I'd take Earth's relative peace any day."
"Oh, come on," Yamcha said. "Chikyuu is not THAT bad…"
Unfortunately, while both Lord Kami and Mister Popo were away on errands, Garlic, Jr. manages to locate and release the dark waters unto the Earth.
"Hissss!" Ranma hissed, as he and the other Z Warriors surround Krillan, Gohan and Usagi (who was in her Sailor Moon guise), all of whom were unaffected thus far.
"If you have any good ideas, now would be a good time to use them," Krillan grunts.
"Right," Sailor Moon said, as she presents her Moon Scepter. "Moon Healing…Elimination!"
The effects of Sailor Moon's power counter-act the effects of the Dark Water.
"What…what happened?" Ranma said in a confused manner.
"You were about to bite me, Ranma," Sailor Moon replied.
"Um, I don't see our bedroom-"
WAP!
"Ow!"
"Grandpa, you okay!" Gohan yelled, as he runs to hug his grandfather.
"Gohan!" Ranma said, as he hugged his grandson.
"I hate to break up this family moment, but we still have to find who was responsible for all this," Krillan said.
Meanwhile, up at Kami's Place, Garlic Junior revels in his triumph, when Mister Popo arrives.
"What is…this?" Popo said, as he dropped his grocery bags. All around him was damaged caused by Garlic Junior's men.
"So, the servant of that old man arrives first," Garlic Junior said. "Good. I want your precious Kami to see your broken corpse at my feet!"
"And who are you supposed to be?" Popo asked.
"I am Garlic Junior, the new ruler of this place and of your precious Chikyuu," said the short troll, as his henchmen maneuvered themselves around the black djinn. "After all, I have unleashed the Black Waters."
"Ah, I see," Popo said. "Go on…"
"And once I have destroyed you and the old man, I can build an empire that will spread across the galaxy, and then the Universe!" Garlic Junior said, as he noticed that a black mist was beginning to form around him and his henchmen. "What…what is this?"
"FYI, who do you think created the Dark Waters?" Popo said. "I never used it because the inhabitants of this world provide such amusement to me with their inept use of the Dragonballs, not to mention the fact that I kind of like this world as it is…"
Pause.
"Prepare to be assimilated, little man," Popo chortled.
"No," Garlic Junior said, as he and his men were being consumed by the mists. "But I am immortal!"
"And you will continue to be so, as YOU become a part of ME," Popo said. "Bye…"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!"
"Ah, delicious," Popo said, before he belched. "Oops, excuse me…"
Just then, Kami shows up.
"I'm back from vacation," Kami said. "How were things, Mister Popo-"
He then realized that Kami's Place was a complete mess.
"Oh, my ME, what happened here?" Kami said, as he surveyed the damage of the lookout. He then looked at the self-satisfied look on Popo's place.
"You know, knowing what you're into, I do not want or need to know."
"A good notion to have, sir," Popo said.
"Humph."
Fin.
