The old buildings of the village had sat, as they had for hundreds of years. The sun began to rise over them. The old buildings where reminiscent of many different cultures. Some of them looked French, some looked Chinese, and some even looked Nordic. All of them had been built as if the modern world didn't existence.
No one in the village even really knew why the village was like this. All built with multiple chimes, without plumping and electricity. All from a much earlier age.
These things had all been very much the standard even hundreds of years earlier. It was all just another product of the confusion of a post-collapse world caused by that mythical ancient monster Piccolo.
The sun rose as Kakarrot sang to himself while balancing himself on a wall for fun. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste. I been round for a long, long year stole many a man soul." He stopped for a second as a breeze came through with the smell of diesel in the air. "I was there as Pilate washed his hand and sealed his fate. Hope you guessed my name."
He stopped singing to himself as he heard the sounds of vehicles approaching from down the road.
Kakarrot's shirt was what Tanmen had given him. It was an orange overshirt and blue undershirt. It was ancient looking Chinese tunic part robe part shirt. In red and in circle written the character 'devil'. Clumsily drawn on with drips to it making it look like blood.
Kakarrot cracked his knuckles as the sound of engines came closer. The promises of Tanmen still ringing in his ears the night before. She had basically agreed to be his slave and it was worth repeating mentally.
Her words were to him 'Help me kill them and I will be yours forever'. He was so happy to have heard those words that he fell asleep last night smiling remembering those words.
Kakarrot knew where she was waiting. From a safe locate in a nearby house of a neighbor. He looked at it with a wolfish grin.
His flat shoes touched the ground as the convoy came in. They had two jeeps a truck and about four bikes. They were armed to the teeth he could tell.
They rolled into the courtyard of this small old village. They were in fatigues some in yellow royal and tan ribbon. They must had seen themselves a conquering army instead of a band of twenty somethings with a few guns.
All of them must have been cowards and deserters from their respective armies small fish now allowed to believe they were big against some yokels. They were about to be reminded on how small they truly were.
The truck stopped the jeeps in front of it and the bikes in a circle around the jeeps. The man how Kakarrot quickly deduced was their leader step out of his jeep. He was a blonde-haired man with half spikey in the front half floppy hair in the back. Ridding goggles were over his eyes. He looked around clearly angry that none of the villagers were there to greet him or his people.
The soldiers showed signs that despite their desertion they were still pros. They had a good beat on the houses ready for someone start shooting. They were looking for an ambush, snipers, the works.
Only blondie seem to turn his focus on Kakarrot. In a huff he ripped of his goggles and stared menacingly at Kakarrot.
His eyes were blue and blood shot. He had muscles but also track marks on his arm. His pupils were dilated. He was very definitely high. Kakarrot had seen plenty of that. Kakarrot had asked the soldiers why they would want to put a needle in their arms. Their usually response was that it takes the edge off and it's better than being here. But it still didn't make much sense to him as needles weren't something that Kakarrot was a fan of.
The bandit leader in a growling yell to Kakarrot asked "Where in the hell is everybody kid!?"
Kakarrot didn't bother responding instead opting to give his shoes a good looking at with a nice stretch. The bandit's face was twitching with anger and looked as though he was about to blow a gasket when finally, Kakarrot spoke "Nice gun."
The bandit looked at his standard royal rifle in his hand. On the wooden butt of the rifle there was a series of marks numbering about twenty-one. Most of the marks had been carved awhile except the last fresh mark was carved very recently.
Bandit leader was dead serious "If you want kid, I could give you a demonstration of its use?" He had said with the loud ended of the rifle pointing at Kakarrot head.
Kakarrot wryly "Maybe in a moment but as I understand it my 'friend's' father got a taste of your amazing ability to pull a trigger."
The bandit leader growled "Smart kid just smart being a wise ass to the guy pointing a gun at you."
Kakarrot darkly asked "Over one in a billion time in a row you might have had point but what about the one one-billionth time?"
The bandit leader chuckled asking "Are you trying to scare me kid?" The two stared each other and the Bandit nearly fell to the ground in laughter. "That's just too much kid. That just fucking precious. I mean my Kami, I nearly just pissed myself."
The other bandits erupted in laughter. Their guards were all down.
Dumb move but then again, they didn't seem the intelligent sort. He could feel the fear of the villagers. They seemed to be in agreeing with the bandits in their doubt of him, even though he had given them an ample demonstration of his abilities. That old car was practically vaporized after all.
The bandit leader continuing "Man kid you wow you are too much! I guess you were born not giving a fuck because hot damn. You'd either have made one hell of a comedian or one supreme badass or both who knows you might be able to pull it off." His face still smiling but a far crueler look comes from it. "Of course, the 'you'd' part is still there."
The bandit pulled his trigger hitting Kakarrot in the center of his forehead right between the eyes. Kakarrot allowed the bullet to force his body to the ground. He hit the ground with a loud thud as the sound of the shot reverberating around the village.
The onlooker's gasped and cried they had bet everything on the boy, but it appeared to them that they had gamble wrong. Tanmen was broken, her world was destroyed. First her father now this brave young boy who the night earlier she had promised to marry be his bride be his slave if need be if he gave her, her revenge, now he was dead.
The bandit not even looking to make sure that the boy was no more turned back to his men. The group of dirty looking vagabonds.
He said to them with a half excite smile and half snarled tooth shouting rage "Storm every single house, drag everybody out and kill anyone that resists! They are about to pay dearly for their little joke! Because I'm going to rape all of these bitches!" He stated punching the air violently.
But everything stopped as a clap was heard as soon as he was finished, it was slow and very sarcastic coming from where the Kakarrot was. The bandits all looked at Kakarrot. He was still laid out on the ground. His head pointed to the sky as he was clapping. A cigarette fell from one of the mouths of a punk spiked hair cut bandit with pink hair. They were all to man, to say the least were very stunned.
Kakarrot upper body rose from the earth. The bullet still between his eyes falling to the dirt as he rose. Having not even bruised his skin. Kakarrot looked at the gawking bandits with a wolfish grin. These had been the faces he had wanted to see.
The bandit leader shocked and scared "What in the Kami fucking Christ…?"
"Today is not your day if you haven't guessed it yet. You understand this right?" He sarcastically waited for a response from the leader but received none. The man was just in too much shock. " Now if it's any consolation it took a hell of a lot to get me here, but I suppose that's just kami bending you over a barrel."
Kakarrot got to his feet as the bandits realized it might be a good idea to start point guns at him again. He dusted himself off as the onlookers were disbelieving their eyes while Tanmen was glow with a hungry excitement at what was to come.
"Now nine out of ten times I won't have given a shit about any of this. The strong have earned the right to exploit the weak, but a few things made what is about to happen to you, happen. It may not look like it, but you see I just had a massive set back that's kind of pissing me off right now so I'm in a bad mood to say the least. Number two you just hurt something that I've decided is mine and that just won't do. But finally, I must ask what do you hope to do here?"
The bandit looking confused at the question was about to response when he was interrupted by Kakarrot.
Kakarrot continued "I'm going to stop you right there because you weren't trying to accomplish anything. There was no greater plan to any of this was their? You just planned to live off of others. No higher goal no master plan just taking for takings sake. How uncreative are you all anyways? It's all so nostalgic considering my family history but here's a lesson they learned and that you most certain are about to learn. Kami loves a schemer, never piss off the wrong person and revenge is one hell of a Bitch!"
His speech finish seemed to be the signal to open fire. They all opened up on him with them .50cal machine guns on the jeeps and their small arms. The bullets all merely hit the dirt as Kakarrot had used the afterimage a dust cloud formed as he chuckled from the cloud.
"Nice shooting Tex."
The bandit grouped up panicking as they looked around. One yelled out "When in the Kamidamn hell is he?!"
Kakarrot briefly appearing and whispering into the man's ear "Over here." In a panic the bandit swung his gun in the direction of the whisper and fired. He fired blindly and ended up riddling his friend not a few feet in front of him with bullets. The gunshot man screamed out in agony and fell to the ground bleeding from at least seven holes.
The bandit leader yelled "Stop firing Kami damn it!" The others now looking at him again. He tried to show some calm. "He's trying to psyche you out. Look where you Kami damn motherfucking aiming and form up moron!"
With that they got back to back as the dust swirled around them. In the dust they could hear tapping. The bandit leader yelling into the dust "WELL MAGICMAN ARE YOU GOING TO COME OUT OR ARE YOU TOO AFRAID?"
From the dust "Afraid? Me? Haha! I'm not the one crapping my pants right now. If you want, I'll show you. Kame…" The bandits in a panic looked around. "hame…" The leader looked up to see him in the air with a glowing ball in hand. "HA!"
The beam shot out of his hands slamming into the truck. Breaking it and making an escape from where they came impossible. The truck was virtually obliterated. The bandits were stunned, awe struck, and blue in the face.
Kakarrot airborne asked them "So anyone shitting themselves yet?" He Paused. "Wait I already know the answer to that question."
Kakarrot landed in front of them as their grips on their guns grew weaker. They dropped their guns as the Bandit leader looked weakly at Kakarrot and meekly said "We surrender."
Kakarrot snickered "Who says I'm going to accept it?"
The Bandit leader slowly begging "We have a lot of loot. Plenty of money. We could…"
Kakarrot grinning "Look at that. Your begging. I suggest you work harder than that. That is if you want to life mind you."
The man dropped to his knee his hands smashed together. Tears were in his eyes as he began to nearly incoherently beg. Words were peppered in like 'mother' and 'brother'.
Kakarrot fired a bunch of little dodon rays destroying their guns "Tisk, tisk you still don't get it do you man? I said revenge is a bitch." He gave a signal by tilting his head. "You have done nothing to me but her" Tanmen with angry tears in her eyes stares at him. "you've done quite a bit too."
The bandit leader looked at her with sad eyes that made her want to puke. In her hands was a knife. The man looked ready to run but was grabbed by Kakarrot who then yelled at the other bandits. "If any of you expect to survive this you better stay right where you are!"
Kakarrot tossed the man at Tanmen's feet then held him up with his hands behind his back as he struggled. Tanmen looked into the jovial eyes of Kakarrot as he said, "So babe are you still a sheep or you a wolf?"
With that all the anger and rage in her exploded on the man. She stabbed the bandit in the stomach. At first, she was slow, parts of her seemed to want to reject it but she kept a stabbing. She when fast as her arm was drenched in blood. And a first, he screamed but the more stabs the less reaction each got as he began to pass out from blood loss.
Kakarrot tight grip was no longer required on his neck. The man had nothing to resist left with. Her stabs soon were of a corpse but yet she kept stabbing in a blind fury. It was to the point that the skin of his stomach was gone, and materials were pouring out.
In this Kakarrot was mesmerized. Hot blood was better than cold as he looked at her blood splatter visage. He didn't bother to tell her that he was no more. It was far to fun to watch and she might as well get it all out.
It took a while, but she ran out of steam. She looked dead eyed as she looked at her work. She was scared. Kakarrot dropped the dead man's body as his hand reached over to go under her chin. He forced her to look into his eyes.
Kakarrot in a soft voice "It's alright." She grabbed ahold of him and squeezed. The two hugged as he continued. "You did the right thing today. He was a bad man who killed you father. What you just did is called justice. You are a wolf not a sheep. One is food, one has meaning."
Tanmen crying asked "Is it supposed to feel this empty?"
Kakarrot softly "For a while but then it will feel good. Killing people will feel good. You'll enjoy it. I guarantee you will enjoy it. You're mine know. You'll enjoy that to." He let go of her and then said. "First thing though I need lunch."
His eyes turned to the other bandits who were all in a panic. They all jumped up and tried to make a run for it. None of them made in even a few feet quickly cut down by his dodon rays. They all fell to the ground with smoke big gaps in their chests.
"Now you mind helping me make lunch?" Tanmen shook her head 'no'. "Good let's head home before I take off." Kakarrot grab the bodies and brought them to Tanmen's yard and started a fire.
Meanwhile the rest of the villagers had come out of their homes to see the carnage. Some of them seem horrified but must were visibly happy that their oppressors had been slaughtered. A cheery atmosphere developed as the populace began to clean up the destruction. It was agreed by them to see the boy off as their liberator.
Tanmen had tried to go into her house and change from her bloodstained clothes. She was prevented by Kakarrot. He wanted her to remain his bloodstained wolf. He cooked the bandits up with Tanmen's help. She cringed at first watching him eat but by the fifth or sixth bandit merely watched.
When Kakarrot was finished it was time for him to go home. A crowd gathered round as he and Tanmen came back to the village square. They were scared of him after all to them he was a cannibal, but they were still happy. Not being subjected to having everything stolen from you can do that.
They handed him a map of the world in a backpack along with some supplies for his trip back to RRA headquarters. There he could find out what had happened to his Grandpa and plan his revenge against Chi-Chi, Roshi and Tien.
Tanmen was yet again in tears as Kakarrot was prepared to leave. To this he looked into to her eyes holding her hand he said "I shall return. I assure you. You are mine from now on and I don't just leave my stuff. Till then be my good little wolfling." He kissed her and pulled away. "I'll kill anyone else that you get close to and eat them in front of you."
As he finished with that final corrupt word, he was off as the people waived. He was fast then a car. They gasped as cloud that was him raced down the road. Tanmen merely watch her eyes focus her gaze empty. She did as she was told barely interacting with her friend or new adopted family. She was merely waiting for the day her master would return her as her blood-stained prince. She ended up throwing out the pictures of her family as she did want them anymore.
Too far maybe but to quote Ramsay Bolton "If you think this has a happy ending you haven't been paying attention."
