A/N: Before this chapter gets started, I want to clarify something for the sake of continuity. While the events in the movie "BoJack unbound" happened that doesn't mean that every event from the other DBZ movies took place. The way I see it, in the main DBZ timeline, there was no time for "Worlds' strongest" through "Broly: The legendary super saiyan" to happen. Bojacks' gang invaded during the 7-year skip and that's why I decided to start the story there. However, that isn't to say that the characters from the movies don't exist. I might bring the villains in later in the story but for now just know that the Z fighters have never encountered any movie villains apart from "Dead zone" and "BoJack unbound". Thank you to all those who left suggestions in the reviews. The encouragement, critiques and suggestions are all really helpful. I will reply to some now.
Sandford9687: I think your right about OC pairings. Your review helped solidify the direction I want to take this so thank you.
Bountyhunter1997: Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for our young hero to grow. I don't want to give him all these new techniques right away. Also, good point about the tail.
Professor Fluff: Piccolo: I like the way you think. (returns evil grin)
Everyone else in regards to pairing: Thank you for your suggestions. I will make it a surprise.
Now, on to the chapter!

Ch 9
Location: North galaxy, Coolers empire.
Cooler was a very practical frost demon. He never was one for senseless cruelty or petty things like "revenge". That's not to say he was kind or forgiving, far from it. It's just that he cared little for any action that wouldn't benefit him personally. He was powerful and ruled over his planets with an iron fist but as long as they did what they where told, he treated them fairly. After all, content slaves make money, dead slaves don't. There was always the odd rebellion he would have to crush every now and then, but overall, his empire was flourishing far above what his brothers' empire had been.
Cooler was not born as strong as his father had hoped. He was nowhere near the level of Frieza and this, mixed with his lack of natural cruelty, caused him to be shunted to the side in favor of the younger brother. He was sent off to the systems with less favorable planets and his men were subpar at best. But instead of discouraging Cooler, this only served to motivate him. Not out of any misplaced desire for his father to approve of him, you understand. No, Coolers sole purpose, his drive, his ambition, was to kill his worthless father and spoiled brother.
To this end, he trained. He amassed followers loyal only to him. He acquired planet after planet so that his shabby empire grew into one that could rival his little brothers' and he chose to develop his planets rather than wiping out the inhabitants. The result of his hard work was that his empire was far more developed than either Frieza or his father, who both favored outright genocide, could comprehend. His top men would easily be able to dismantle the Ginyu force and, best of all, Cooler had attained a strength greater than his "precious, perfect" brother.
When Cooler heard about the death of his father and brother 4 years ago, he was conflicted. Part of him was overjoyed that they had gotten what they deserved. With them out of the way, he would be the rightful ruler of the entire Cold empire. He wished he had killed them himself but he realized that what was done was done. The conflict came from the thought of this new enemy. Surely anyone who could defeat, not only his brother but his father as well, would be a powerful adversary indeed. Cooler argued with himself about whether or not he should go and destroy the potential threat before it could get out of hand. After some deliberation, though, the practical side of him won out. It would not be prudent to seek a fight with the one who defeated his father and, so long as they stayed on that backwater planet Eeyarth, he could rule his galaxy unchallenged.
Such a shame when plans go astray…
"Monsieur Cooler! Our Forces are being pushed back!" Yelled Salza, the captain of Coolers armored squadron and commander and chief of the Cooler forces.
"Who dares to challenge me!?" replied an outraged Cooler. He was sitting in the throne room going over plans to eradicate the last of the resistance to his rule in the galaxy. when his best warrior came running in.
"I don't know sir. It isn't ze Galactic patrol. Perhaps it is zose space pirates of the Elysia Crispata, but I never imagined that they could have zis level of power." The blue brenchman was at a loss. For four years his master had reigned unopposed and now, out of nowhere, a mysterious force was decimating his elite men.
Cooler schooled his features. "Well then, I suppose we will just have to give our new guests a little greeting. Salza, call Dore and Nietz. Have them meet us at the front lines." Cooler wasn't going to stand by as everything he built was taken from him.
"Oui Monsieur!" Salza contacted his squad mates and followed his master out of the command room.
"I'll show them what happens when they try to take what's mine." Cooler snarled as he clenched his fist.
It took only a short time for Cooler and Salza to fly to the front lines. Cooler could see that, though his men were not outnumbered, his army was dropping like space flies. He turned to Salza.
"Check your scouter and tell me what the average power level is of the opposing side." He ordered.
Salza put his hand up and touched his scouter. "Amazing… Monsieur, zey all seem to have a power level of around 30,000!" Salza was indeed shocked. His men only had an average of 10,000 and that was only because of the intense training their lord demanded of them. No wonder they were being wiped out.
"Hmm, very well." Said Cooler. "Order them to fall back. I think this will require our personal attention."
"Oui sir!" Salza activated his scouters multi contact function and gave the command. "ALL UNITS, ALL UNITS, RETREAT! I REPEAT, RETREAT!"
The men didn't need telling twice. As soon as the order was given, they hightailed it back towards their base. A group of the stronger, more senior warriors were covering their retreat. Unfortunately, they had been doing the most in the fight and had been worn out. 7 of the enemies decided that this group should be taken care of first and charged them. The men of the Cooler armed forces were weak and the saw death before them. But before the enemy could reach them, several thin purple beams pierced each of the seven assailants in their heads and they fell down dead.
The men looked around and saw that it was Cooler himself who rescued them. "My lord…" But before he could express his gratitude Cooler cut him off.
"I thought you were all told to retreat. If you don't want to see what happens when soldiers disobey my orders, I suggest you leave." Coolers expression was stoic but his eyes were ablaze.
"Y-yes sir, right away sir!" the soldiers all saluted and followed the rest of the army. Salza appeared next to his master.
"Salza, it looks like we have a bit of a weed problem." Cooler smiled. Salza loved when his master smiled.
"Oui Monsieur, Quite a lot of disgusting weeds."
"And you know what we do with weeds, don't you Salza?" Cooler asked his second in command.
"We cut zem down my liege." Salza created a Ki blade from his arm.
"That we do." Cooler also created a ki blade and they both dove into the wave of enemy combatants.
One after another, they began to fall. Salza and Cooler cut through them like a laser sword through space butter. With every stroke, 10 new bodies were sliced cleanly in half. It didn't take long at all for the invading force to realize how hopelessly out matched they were. Just as their adversaries had done only moments before, they fled from the monstrous force that was Cooler. Cooler stopped and watched as they ran.
"My liege, should we not pursue zem?" Salza asked, confused that his master would allow them to retreat.
"I suppose you're welcomed to, but I wouldn't recommend it." Cooler said as he raised one finger high in the air. "After all, I know how much you Brenchmen love fireworks." In a matter of seconds, a huge ball of energy, a supernova, was floating above Coolers finger. Without any delay, he sent it straight at the backs of the retreating enemy. Before they knew what hit them, it had consumed every last one of them. When the explosion subsided Salza surveyed the area.
"Magnifique!" He exclaimed. "Not a single trace!"
"Not quite." Cooler corrected as he spied something in the distance.
Just then, Dore and Nietz arrived next to Salza. "Sorry we're late sir, what did we miss?"
"Well gentlemen." Said Salza smugly. "I'm afraid you missed ze party. Our master has finished zem off quite nicely."
"Actually, I believe the party is just getting started." Said Cooler. Not far off, a large space craft was descending. "Gentlemen, it seems we will have an opportunity to meet these instigators properly."
Dore Looked at Cooler "Why don't we just blow the ruddy ship up now?"
"Well, that's obvious, you green oaf." Nietz chimed in. "Obviously master Cooler wants to see who's actually behind this invasion."
"Why do we need to know that?" Dore was more of the shoot first, ask questions never kind of guy, so he often missed the subtler points of running an empire.
"So we can make an example of them." Replied Cooler menacingly.
The four fighters flew towards the ship. They reached it as soon as it landed and the bay doors opened. Out of the ship flew what appeared to be some sort of honor guard. Twelve warriors in green armor lined up facing each other, six on each side, with enough room in the middle for someone to walk down. Just after this display came a green skinned elderly man. He was flanked by two others, a male and a female, and as they passed, each guard dropped to a knee.
Cooler was infuriated. How dare this old man come to his territory and act like he was some sort of king! Oh yes, He would pay most dearly for these insults.
"I would give you points for bravery, whoever you are, but stupidity seems the more appropriate word in this case." Cooler said.
The old man looked amused. "Ha, good one. I don't believe I've met you before but judging by the looks and the attitude, I'd say you were a relative of King cold. Am I right?"
"I'm his son. And before my men massacre you all in unspeakably painful ways, who do I have the pleasure of addressing?" Coolers' mood worsened at the mention of his father, if that was possible.
"Really? His son? And here I thought Frieza was killed. Well, I guess you can't believe everything you hear."
"How dare you insult Lord Cooler by comparing him to his brother!" Yelled Neitz. "Lord Cooler is far stronger than that spoiled little prince!"
"Oh, so your name's Cooler is it? Well pardon me for my mistake, I didn't know King Cold would throw away his own son."
"Well sir you could say he was rather cold blooded." Said the woman at his side.
"Haha. Yes, very good Adamantia, cold blooded indeed." The old man seemed to be oblivious to the danger that cooler and his men posed. It was like he was at a party, chatting with old friends. Cooler was having none of it.
"If you've finished with your jokes, can we get on to the part where I kill you?"
"Now, now don't be like that. Let me introduce myself. I am the Jade emperor. I rule the south galaxy and I have taken rather a liking to this one as well. So many planets, and in this sector it's quite developed. Your doing I take it?" He looked at Cooler who remained silent. "I'll take that as a yes. Well, anyway, I knew of your father and your brother and personally I didn't approve of their methods one bit. I don't see the point in massacring your own citizens. That saiyan debacle was rather stupid of them in my opinion. But it seems like you're different. You seem to understand the profit to be made through slavery over genocide. I could use a man like you in my ranks. How would you like to join me?"
The man looked expectantly at Cooler. "You came and started a war and now you want me to join you?"
The old man scratched his chin. "Yes, I suppose that we shouldn't have slaughtered so many of your men. To be fair though, the attacked us first and you did demolish all me low level warriors so I should think that makes us even. Anyway, back to my offer. How would you like to be my steward? You would retain your control of this sector and only be answerable to me. I'd say that's a good deal."
"Hahaha!" Dore burst out laughing. "You must be crazy old man. Why would somebody as powerful as Lord Cooler take orders from some old ruin like you?"
Cooler and the Jade emperor stared each other down for a full minute. "Right." Said the Jade emperor. "How about a little game then? There are four of you here and you all seem quite strong. I will pit four of my elite honor Guard against the four of you and if they win then you join me, but if you win, I will submit myself for any punishment you see fit. I'll even make it my four weakest. How about it?"
Cooler had let the old man finish before speaking. "Well, not the ones I would have gone with but everyone is entitled to choose their own last word." And with that he charged at the old emperor.
Before he could reach the old man, one of the guards appeared in front of him blocking the way. He had purple skin like Cooler but his features where scaly and fishlike. "Your lowly hands are not worthy of touching our liege. My name is Mythesta and I shall be your opponent."
"I don't suppose it really matters in which order you die. So be it!" Cooler spun around and whipped Mythesta with his tail sending him flying back several feet. While this confrontation was happening three other guards went after Neitz, Dore and Salza.
A large, blue skinned man, with an orange beard and ponytail hit Dore with a lariat and dragged him away from the other two. "The names Turk, Lets have a bit of fun eh?"
A petite girl with almost transparent skin and snow-white hair did a spinning back kick into Neitzs' stomach. "Hi, I'm Pearl. Please take care of me." She said in a cheery voice.
Salza, who was the only one who managed to block the oncoming attack, stared down his opponent trying to find an opening.
"You won't find one." The grey girl said as if reading his mind. Then she sent a multicolored blast at Salza who just barely had time to dodge.
Salza realized he couldn't wait for an opening, so he decided to make one. He rushed towards the girl while creating his ki blade.
"Ooh, that is such a lovely color." She said while casually dodging his attacks. "Do you mind if I borrow it for a little while?"
Salza was getting fed up with this girls' casual attitude. With a shout he increased the speed of his assault. "HYAAAAAA!" He was swiping his blade through the air at double the speed he was before but, still, he only cut air. Finally, the girl caught him by the forearm and pulled him in closer. "I promise I only want to barrow it. I don't see this color too often." Salza was horrified that someone could not only evade his aggressive assault but also stop it in its tracks. What added to his horror was the fact that now his blade was shrinking and the girl was turning purple. He tried to force more power into his blade but it never got longer. Instead the girl was just getting purple faster.
When the blade disappeared entirely, she finally let go and Salza jumped away from her. He tried to shoot her with a blast of energy but found that he couldn't gather enough ki.
"You! What did you do to me!?" he questioned the girl in fear and anger.
Instead of answering him though, she just seemed to be examining her new coloring. After a few seconds, she sighed. "Huh, I guess this color doesn't suit me as well as I thought it would." She said with disappointment. "I guess you can have it back." She flung out her arm as if throwing a frisbee to Salza, but instead of a fun plastic disc, a giant wave of purple energy engulfed him.
"GYAAAA!" Salza screamed. When the energy had dissipated, Salza was covered in scorch marks and he was face down on the ground.
"Oops, I always forget I need to touch the person to return energy. I hope he isn't dead." Then she added in an afterthought. "Oh yeah, my names Opal by the way."
Break
Dore wasn't faring much better than Salza. He was locked in a slugging match with Turk, which was usually his preferred method of fighting. Dore loved a good brawl, but this was anything but a good brawl. No matter where he hit the blue man, no matter how hard he punched, there was absolutely no effect. What was worse is that, not only could big blue take it, he knew how to dish it out.
Dore aimed a punch to the jaw and it landed, but was returned with a punch to the side. He reeled but was able to recover and launched a blow into Turks abdomen, but once again it had no effect. Turk threw another punch that landed on Dores shoulder and sent the green man flying. Dore could barely move.
Turk looked like he was having a great time, judging by the smile on his face. "Come on greeny, don't quit on me now, we're just getting warmed up."
Dore stood up, though his legs were trembling from exhaustion. "I'll give you a warm up!" he put his hands together and fired the biggest blast he could at his monstrous opponent. Turk was engulfed by the blast and Dore celebrated. "Oh yeah! How do you like that!?" But his celebrating ceased when the smoke cleared to reveal his opponent, without so much as a hair out of place. The expression on his face was murderous.
"And here I thought you were going to be worth a bit of fun. How dare you take a good ole slugfest and dirty it with energy blasts!" He stalked over to Dore, who was too weak to move, grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground. "I thought you looked like a fighter!" he picked him up and slammed his face into his knee. "But it turns out your nothing but a weakling!" with that last comment he dropped Dore to the ground. "Tch, waste of my time."
Break
"Hey what's the matter big guy? Can't keep up?" Pearl was bouncing around Neitz like a pinball, and just as random, causing the Zalt warrior all kinds of grief. Her speed was unbelievable. How could anyone be that fast? Thought Neitz. Every time she passed him in a blur, she hit him in the exact same spot, his stomach. He had all kinds of defense mechanisms, like retractable limbs, and bioelectricity, but if he couldn't keep track of her movements' he couldn't utilize any of them. Another blow impacted his belly.
"That's it!" He yelled. Suddenly electricity crackled all over his body. "I'm fed up with your little touch and go routine! I'll just turn this on full time, let's see how you fight if you can't touch me!"
Pearl stopped moving and stared at the lizard man. "Wow, cool! Is that a trait of your species? That's pretty OP, mad props dude!" she said with a smile, which confused Neitz. "My species have a cool move too. Wanna see?" Neitz was pretty sure that he didn't want to see.
She bent over and started to power up. "HAAAAAAAAAAA!" Her aura flared up, but then strangely started receding back into her. When it seemed that her aura had disappeared completely, she made one final yell "HYAAA!" and bony spikes appeared all over her body, including two long scythe-like spikes protruding from her wrists at 90 angles. She stood up straight and smiled. "Pretty cool huh? I hope bone doesn't conduct electricity." Then she started her pinball routine again, only this time with every pass, Neitz felt his flesh being torn into. With every new wound he let out a howl of pain.
At last the pain and blood loss was too much to bear. His body no longer producing electricity, and with his body in shreds, he fell to the ground unconscious. "Oh gosh," said pearl as she retracted her spikes and stared at the bloody mess that was her opponent. "I hope I didn't over do it."
Break
Cooler backhanded Mythesta causing him to spin away. He warped to where the warrior was heading and kicked him up, causing him to fly high in the sky. The warrior was just able to stabilize himself when, once again cooler appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the throat.
"So, these hands are too lowly to touch that old goat you call a master, are they?" His grip was so tight that all Mythesta could do to respond was gurgle. "What was that? These lowly hands must be getting in the way of hearing your answer, let me fix that for you." He released his grip, but as soon as he did, he kneed Mythesta in the stomach so hard, you could see his its outline popping out of his back.
"Well since you don't seem to like my hands very much, lets try my tail." He spent the next 20 seconds playing ping pong with Mythesta as the ball and his tail as the paddle. "Not fond of the tail either I see." Cooler stopped his onslaught momentarily. Methysta was in bad shape. His face was swollen and he was covered in blood. Several of his sharp teeth were missing and he probably had several broken bones. Despite this he was somehow still able to float. Cooler Decided to stop messing around. He brought his hands together above his head and then straight down on his adversaries back. Mythesta crashed into the ground causing a huge crater. He tried to get up and, had just succeeded in getting to his hands and knees, when Cooler dropped down full speed with his foot landing on top of his opponents' head. Cooler leaned over as he was crushing the head under his foot. "Now, that I've let off some steam, let's get something straight. This is MY galaxy. I conquered it, I rule it, and I Put my hands on whomever I damn well please. Your pathetic Jade emperor is nothing to me."
To his surprise, Mythesta still had a look of defiance in his eyes. "Y-you are nothing compared to him." He said weakly. "You may have beaten me, but I am but the least powerful of his honor guard. You'll see how futile it is for you to try and resist him. And when he decides your fate, I'll be in hell laughing."
"Well, we wouldn't want to keep hell waiting." And with that he sent a death beam straight through the beaten mans head. "So much for the small fry, now for the big fish."
Break
"Your grace, it appears that Mythesta has lost." Adamantia said to the Jade emperor.
"Yes, very sad isn't it. We just inducted him into the honor guard too. Now our balance is all thrown off. Maybe we can get Cooler to take his place, hey do have a similar coloring after all. Do you think he would change his name?" The emperor addressed Adamantia.
"It doesn't look like he's in the mood to negotiate monikers sir." She nodded towards cooler who was once again heading straight for the emperor.
"Well, Cooler, you beat my man, congratulations." The Jade emperor started clapping slowly. "Of course, that makes the score for our little game 3-1 in my favor, so I believe you will be working for me now."
Cooler growled in rage. He realized from the Jade interlopers' remarks that his men were either beaten or dead. "The game isn't over yet. I think it's time for sudden death!" He launched himself at the old man, but before he could get his hands on him the Jade emperor side stepped quicker than Cooler could follow and kicked him in the gut, followed by a chop to his back sending the once proud ruler of the galaxy into the dirt.
"And here I thought you could be reasonable. Now I see why your father threw you away. Such a waste of potential." The Jade emperor turned away from Cooler even as he was getting back up. "Broly, Take care of this trash for me, will you?"
The taller warrior that was standing next to the Jade emperor nodded. "As you command, my liege." Cooler was about to make another attack on the old man but Broly grabbed his arm, stopping his progress in its tracks. "I'm sorry I have to do this." Said the large man, as he flung Cooler, making him skip across the ground like a stone on water.
Cooler was caught off guard by the warriors' strength, but he soon regained his bearings. As soon as he stood up though Broly was there. "Please, wont you reconsider the masters offer? He is a kind and wise ruler. We don't need to fight." This tact was new to cooler. He had never before met a warrior with Brolys apparent power, who sued for peace. Cooler didn't care for this kind of talk. Not when it involved him groveling before another.
"You and your master can go to HFIL!" Cooler yelled. Then he did something he hadn't done in years. He transformed. His eyes glowed red and his white body armor generated spikes from the back and wrists. White spikes protruded from his head and a white mask now covered his mouth and nose. When he was finished with his transformation, he was even taller than Broly.
"Your power impresses me warrior, but your talk of peace disgusts me. Let's see how you deal with me in this form!" Cooler hit Broly square in the face and sent him flying back. He kept up his onslaught by sending death beam after death beam at his enemy. Broly was now buried under a pile of rubble and Cooler decided to finish this quickly. He flew toward the downed warrior while activating his ki sword. He was about to stab the pile of rubble where brolly was laying but, before he could, two green glowing hands reached out and caught the energy blade. "What! How!" Cooler exclaimed.
Broly stood up from the pile of dirt and rocks still grasping the blade with his bare hands. He no longer looked like the same warrior. Instead of his hair being black, it was golden green and spikey. His eyes were green and his mass had increased. He was now a foot taller than Cooler and his muscle mass had increased a ridiculous amount. Cooler couldn't sense power levels but even he could tell that the energy emitted by this monster was overwhelming.
"The only thing that's disgusting," said Broly quietly. "Is you mocking peace with only this level of power!" Broly let go of the sword and reached out for Coolers arms. He grabbed them in a crushing grip and spun cooler around several times before finally releasing him and sending him into the sky. Cooler tried to stop the momentum but was only able to after about a mile.
"How, How DARE YOU!" Cooler screamed. "HOW DARE YOU COME AND TRY TO TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE! WHAT I HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO CREATE!" Cooler could no longer contain his rage and frustration. "FINE! IF YOU WANT IT SO BADLY THEN JUST TAKE IT! I'LL EVEN THROW IN A LITTLE HOUSE WARMING GIFT!" Cooler raised his finger in the air and created the largest supernova he could create. Twice his size, 4 times his size, 8 times his size.
Back on the ground, Broly could tell that Cooler was gathering energy. He just waited for the impending attack. Finally, when Cooler released a ball of energy roughly 20 times his size, Broly pulled one hand back a little bit and started gathering energy. "I really am sorry I have to do this." When Coolers attack was a hundred yards away, Broly unleashed his energy ball. It was only a fraction of the supernovas size but, when they collided, it immediately pushed the larger ball back toward its sender.
Cooler saw that his attack was heading back toward him at an alarming rate. "WHAT!? HOW? HOW IS HE SO STRONG!?" The attack hit him with full force. "WHHHYYYYYYY!?" was all Cooler could scream as he was carried into the planets' atmosphere.
Broly waited till the two balls of energy where clear of the planet and then he detonated his attack.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
The explosion shook the entire planet to its core. As the lights died down, Broly tried to sense his enemies' presence but felt nothing. Satisfied, He looked around at the destruction caused by all the fighting that had happened that day. "I hate Fighting…" Then he flew back to were his master was waiting.

Location: Earth, Mt. Paozu.
Gohan had decided to invite Zangya out for some sparring today. He was really excited because, even though she wasn't nearly as strong as him, like Piccolo, she had a wide range of techniques that Gohan found fascinating and, occasionally, painful. Now was one of those occasions.
"Hyah!" yelled Gohan, as he launched a flying kick at Zangya. She dodged by flying to the side but when Gohan landed where she was, he took off right after her. "You can't run forever Zangya!" taunted Gohan.
She zigged and zagged backwards through trees, facing Gohan the whole time as he pursued her deeper into the woods. "I don't need to run forever, Rice ball, just long enough!" she called back. (Zangya learned not too long ago that Gohans' name actually meant rice. Now she uses every opportunity to tease the poor preteen.)
"Oh yeah? What's that supposed to mean? AND I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT!" he yelled while suppressing a smile.
(Gohan actually kind of liked the nickname but, being twelve, protested on principle.)
Just then, Zangya flew straight up. Gohan pursued her, but before he could get clear of the trees he was frozen in place. "What the?" Gohan struggled to get free and noticed the wires. Zangya floated down to gloat over her captured foe.
"What's the matter Rice ball? You stuck?" Her face was incredibly smug.
"Was this your big plan? Catch me in your energy sucking wires? You know all I have to do is go super saiyan and I can break out no sweAAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAAA!" A charred Gohan coughed out a puff of smoke and Zangya laughed.
"HAHAHA! Maybe I should call you burnt rice now, HAHAHA!" She had sent an enormous electric shock through the energy wires. She had been saving this technique for just the right moment and boy was it worth it.
*Cough* "Wow! I didn't know you could do that. Well played Zangya, but not well enough. HAAAA!" Gohan jumped to super saiyan and broke the wires. "Now let's see what you got." But just as Gohan got free, a smiling Zangya had pulled a white flag out of thin air, and started waving it.
"Oh, come on! That's not fair, you can't just give up when the fight's not going your way." Gohan complained dropping out of super saiyan.
"Well, I just did, so, how does that earth saying go?" she put a finger to her chin thoughtfully then snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! In your face Gold boy!" Gohan sighed. Oh well I guess I should have seen that coming.
The two friends started laughing at Zangyas antics but then an ear-piercing screech interrupted them.
"What in the world was that?" Asked Zangya, alarmed.
"I don't know but we should go check it out. Someone could be in trouble." Gohan and Zangya flew as fast as they could in the direction of the scream.
When they arrived at the spot they thought it came from, they were surprised to see Piccolo already there. "Mr. Piccolo, we heard a terrible scream in this area, is everything ok?" Gohan asked his mentor.
Piccolo turned toward them, nodded to Zangya, who nodded back, and then answered his pupils' question.
"Oh, hey Gohan. Yeah everything is fine, no trouble over here. In fact, I didn't hear anything and you know how good my hearing is." Just then another shriek even louder and more terrifying than the first rang through the air.
"There it is again! Tell me you didn't hear that?" Gohan looked incredulously at Piccolo.
"Hear what? Gohan I think you've been working too hard. Hey here's an idea! Why don't we all go visit Dende, I bet he's dying to hear about your schooling and stuff."
"GYYYAAAAAAHHH! SOMEBODYYYYY! PLEEEAASE HEEELLLP MEEEEE!"
STOMP, STOMP, STOMP, STOMP
Piccolo suddenly found the sky to be very interesting as Gohan took in the scene behind them. Mr. Satan was running barefoot, in his sweatpants and undershirt and an empty sword sheath slung across his back. He looked like he was in a lot of pain and the fear in his face was incredibly intense. Tears were flying from his eyes and mucus running from his nose. He was huffing and puffing and behind him, keeping pace with the "Champ", was a full-grown T-Rex with half his tail missing.
Gohan looked away from the horror show and back to Piccolo who was looking anywhere but at Gohan. Zangya on the other hand found the situation quite funny and had no qualms about making it known. "HAHAHAHAHA! Wow! Great job namekian, this is way better than sunflower seed street! HAHAHA!"
"Mr. Piccolooo!" Gohan said exasperated.
"What? I gave him a sword." Piccolo stated in his defense, then under his breath he said "It's not my fault he lost it."
Gohan sighed. Dende darnit. Maybe I'll have to find the time in my schedule after all.
End chapter.
