NOTE: I should've done this last chapter, but SPOILER warning for those who are not fully caught up to Chainsaw Man. This story will contain some stuff from the manga and whatnot, so be ready.
It makes me happy to see that people are excited to see how this strange love story between Goku and Makima happens, because I am too.
Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 2: Monkey Rampage
Goku followed Makima through the buzzing city after dealing with the Snake Devil. She had instructed him to leave the cloud to avoid attracting attention, but he didn't really understand why that was an issue. "Where are we going? Are we gonna eat more food?"
"No." She ignored the audible groan from her companion. The young devil didn't understand how he could still be hungry after all of that food he had just eaten. "We're heading to the Public Safety Devil Commission."
"Public bathroom commission?"
"No. The Public Safety Devil Commission." She calmly corrected him. "I have to report on the devil that was just killed by you since I was the only officer near the area." If she didn't report then she'd have to hear a boring lecture again, which was a pain in the ass.
"OH! So, your job is to kill those devil things?"
"Yes or capture them to form contracts."
"Contracts?" Goku tilted his head, scrunching his face in thought. Makima turned around to stare at him, finding the sight of his brain trying to work amusing. Eventually Goku remembered the last time he heard that word. "Ah! Like getting a job!"
"Exactly."
"But you already have a job, right?"
"Yes, but Devil Hunters will form contracts with devils to enhance their strength in capturing or exterminating devils."
"Do you have a contract?"
"Hmmm…perhaps." She responded with a small smile. She turned and continued walking towards the HQ with a confused Goku tailing behind her. "Would you like to have a contract?"
"No way! I'm plenty strong without one! Besides, I like handling my fights by myself!" Goku flexed one of his arms, puffing air from his nostrils.
"Yes…your strength is quite extraordinary for a human." Makima still wasn't sure if the boy behind her was actually human. No human she's ever heard of possessed a monkey tail and she was certain that he wasn't a devil. Which left her to wonder if the tail was simply a genetic mutation or he was some kind of alien.
Not that she believed in aliens, those things belonged in sci-fi films.
"My friends all said the same thing, but I never understood what the deal was. There are plenty of guys stronger than me out there! That's why I need to keep getting stronger, so that I can keep having fun fights with them!" Goku declared with strong determination.
Makima raised a brow, mulling over the motivation of her potential pet. "So, you seek strength to continue having fun fights?"
"Yeah! Isn't it fun to find someone incredibly strong to fight?"
"You might be the only person who thinks that way. All of the people I know seek strength for glory, to protect their loved ones, revenge, or other petty reasons. But one thing they all share in common is the fear of facing an unbeatable challenge, one too great for their strength. But you don't see the problem with that?"
"Not really." Goku disagrees, putting his hands behind his head. "Master Roshi taught me and my friend Krillin this lesson after we lost the World Tournament. No matter how strong you get there'll always be someone stronger than you. Settling for the best is an easy way to be lazy, so it's best to keep growing stronger to reach even further heights!"
Makima paused to allow Goku's words to sink in. "I see. Seeking strength for you means never settling for just being the strongest. You push yourself for self-improvement, correct?"
"Yup! Hehe!"
"Understanding one's pet is the first step to gaining their absolute trust. Seems I've learned something new about Goku other than his miniscule intelligence and abnormal powers." Makima smiled at her thoughts.
"Woah! This building is huge!" Makima winced slightly from Goku's very loud proclamation. The two young pre-teens have arrived at the HQ for the Public Safety Devil Commission. The area wasn't very crowded due to hunters being on assignments, but busy enough to let people know that they were obviously open. She directed the monkey boy to follow her as she stepped through the doors.
A desk clerk, who had been on the phone, saw the familiar head of red hair through the crowd of hunters and quickly hung up the phone. Several other employees and hunters were quick on the uptake that Makima had arrived, quickly shuffling out of her way. Their eyes glanced at her companion, wondering who he could possibly be. "A new devil?" They all wondered.
"M-Miss Makima! I see that you're here on your day off!" The clerk exclaimed with some hesitation. She tried to wipe the sweat forming on her brow from the intimation leaking off of the young devil.
"I'm here to fill out the report on the devil attack that transpired earlier today. I'll be heading towards the director's office to turn it in." She explained as she took one of the sheets from the desk before the woman could say anything else.
"Y-yes!" She saw Goku following Makima towards the opposite hallway. "M-Miss Makima, if you don't mind me asking…who is that?"
Goku was about to respond, but his new friend clamped a hand over his mouth. Makima stared at the clerk with those dangerous eyes of hers, scaring the woman even more. "None of your business."
"R-right! My apologies, Miss Makima!" She cowered in fear as the two disappeared down the hallway, allowing everyone else to release a breath of relief.
Once the two arrived at the director's office, Makima turned to Goku. "While I'm in there I need you to sit in one of these chairs. Do not move and do not talk to anyone who comes by, okay?"
"I can't come in with you?"
"No, but I will be explaining the situation and would rather not risk them asking you any weird questions. Afterwards we will return to my apartment, understand?"
"Sure." Goku shrugged and plopped down on a chair.
"Good." She pats his head like a dog before entering the office. Goku stared at the door for a few minutes, already growing extremely bored of just sitting in place. He was hoping that Makima would finish quickly, so that he could ask her for a spar. He figured after seeing those chains of hers and learning of her job that it would mean she's strong. The little monkey wanted to test his strength against her in a fun spar.
SNIFF!
"Hm?" Goku's nose picked up a delicious aroma coming from somewhere in the building. Getting up from his seat, Goku followed the smell trail to see if it could lead him to some more food. He had completely forgotten about Makima's instructions to stay in his seat.
Goku wandered around the office building as he followed the trail before finally finding the source of the delicious aroma. He audibly gasped at the sight of the cafeteria, watching all of the officers and employees conversing with one another. Makima didn't tell him that there would be such nice smelling food in this place!
"Welp, time to fill my belly!" He raced towards the food line, grabbing a tray to put his food on. The hungry little fighter paid no mind to the weird stares he was receiving from the hunters and employees around him. It didn't take long for Goku to find what he wanted (Basically everything) and walk towards a table.
"HEY, KID!"
"Hm?" Goku turned around, peering past his large pile of food to see some guy marching over to him. "What's wrong?"
"Are you gonna pay for all of that food?" The cashier asked, crossing his arms with a glare.
"I have to pay?"
"Of course! Better yet, what kind of devil are you?! You're out of uniform and you're taking too much food with you!" He yelled. Several murmurs from the audience could be heard, all agreeing about devils being selfish monsters.
"My name's Goku and I'm not a devil!" Goku responded. The little monkey felt his stomach growl and groaned. "Ugh, sorry, Mister, but I'm getting hungry. So, I'm just gonna go eat my food now." He disregarded the man's anger and walked towards a table. His action brought a nasty snarl to the cashier's face.
"Why you stupid little devil…!" The cashier attacked the monkey with a kick. To his and everyone's shock, Goku blocked the attack with one arm as he easily held his tray with the other.
Goku glared at his assailant. "It's not nice to attack others with their backs turned!" He gripped the cashier's leg and yanked him forward. Unprepared for the little monkey's strength, the cashier could do nothing as the back of Goku's fist smashed into his nose, propelling the man across the cafeteria.
Unfortunately for Goku, it seems like the hunters in the cafeteria didn't exactly like his response. "Hey! Devils working with the Commission aren't allowed to attack humans!" One hunter shouted.
"Breaking that rule is punishable by death!" Another added.
"I already told you guys that I'm not a devil!" Goku refuted, but his words went unheard. All of the hunters climbed to their feet, pulling out their guns, swords, or other weapons to kill the young martial artist. "So, you guys want to fight, huh?"
"What does it look like, devil brat?!"
"Can you at least wait till I finish my food first?"
"LIKE HELL!" They shouted comically. "KILL THAT BRAT!"
Taking a few bites out of a freshly cooked burger, Goku ducked under several swipes of sharp blades. His left foot caught the tray while the other kicked the blades upwards, then Goku quickly flipped back onto his feet as he impressively re-held the food with his right hand. With a single jump Goku landed swift strikes at the sword wielders that sent them flying away from him.
Jumping on top of the tables, Goku took off as bullets rained down on him but the boy was more concerned with eating what was still on his tray of food. One hunter tried to swipe at him with his brass knuckled fist, but Goku easily caught the attack with his palm. He then twisted the guy's arm, flipping him around and then kicking him face first into the ceiling. A female hunter slapped the spot in front of the little monkey with her whip.
"You've been a bad little monkey!" She cried as she wrapped the whip around his ankle. She yanked back in hopes of pulling him into the air, but the boy didn't move. "W-what?!"
"You're gonaha hafta trfy betters thanfts that!" He declared while munching on more food. Goku pulled his leg back, yanking the woman towards him to meet his fist with her face. The momentum from the pull caused her to keep going past him even after receiving that knockout hit.
Several more brawler-like hunters piled on Goku, forcing the monkey to toss his tray into the air. With expert movements, he avoided each punch or kick that came his way from his opposition. Whipping out his Power Pole, Goku twirled the staff around in a flurry of movements. "Power Pole, extend!" He swung the elongated pole into the group of hunters, smashing them across the cafeteria and into the food stations, which caused an even bigger mess. Goku caught the tray of food as it came back down. He sat down on the table and continued happily munching on his lunch.
"HEY, YOU DAMN DEVIL BRAT!" Several Devil Hunters clamored to their feet, glaring at the little monkey. Their cries went ignored as Goku kept focusing on his food. "DON'T JUST IGNORE US!"
"Huh? You guys want to eat some too?" Goku held up his half-eaten bowl of rice.
"HELL NO!"
"Okay then!" He grinned as he went back to finishing his meal.
Growling at the little menace, a female hunter made a hand sign, catching the attention of her allies. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"
"What do you think?! This devil brat just mopped the floor with most of us! If we want to kill him, then we're gonna have to resort to our contracts!"
"Inside the division building?!"
"A risk we'll have to take! I'm sure the Head Director will understand!" She replied. "Now, are you gonna keep standing there like a pussy or are you lousy men gonna help me?!" All of the guys around her gulped before taking their own stances. "Hey, devil brat!"
"Yeah?" Goku turned back to them.
"Get ready, because this time you're really gonna die!"
"Heh!" Goku stood up, holding his Power Pole in preparation. He felt the energy pulsating around the Devil Hunters and figured they must be trying to use those contract things Makima had explained to him. "Since you guys are going full strength, then I will too!"
"And that is my report on the situation." Makima finished explaining everything that transpired earlier as she handed in the sheet.
The Head Director of Division 4, an older man with balding hair, tried to keep his composure in front of the young devil. Regardless of the apparent age gap between them, the man still found it hard to face or even talk to the young Control Devil. It was a miracle that she kept up pleasantries between them, but he feared upsetting her and causing her to take control of him. "R-right…and this Monkey Devil…are you sure he's harmless?"
Makima nodded her head, still giving that creepy smile. "Yes." She felt that he didn't need to know that Goku wasn't actually a devil mostly because she was still uncertain of his true identity herself.
"A-and you're certain that he won't go on a rampage and attack humans?"
"Of course, Director. I have him fully under my control." It was a lie, but she's been able to make Goku do as she wishes so far. "He will be a wonderful asset to the Public Safety Commission."
"I-I have full faith that you do-"
BOOM!
SMASH!
CRASH!
Their conversation was rudely interrupted by the violent shaking of the building. Explosions, screams, and such were heard all over the building. Makima steadied herself, completely unprepared for whatever attack was happening on the base. However, her thoughts quickly shifted towards one thing. Hurrying out of the office, ignoring the cries of the director, Makima stared in disbelief at the chairs in front of the door.
The chairs that worryingly had no Goku present in them.
SMASH!
The director stumbled out of his office, trying to hold onto the wall. "A-are we under attack by some devil?!"
Not even bothering on giving the pathetic man a reply, Makima took off towards the sounds of fighting, using her chains to shove away anyone in her way. Eventually she found the clerk from earlier huddled in a corner. Makima shoved a chain into the woman's brain without hesitation. "Explain."
"T-there's some small Monkey Devil rampaging through the building. All of the hunters present have all gathered to deal with him, but somehow the child was beating them easily, so they resorted to using their devil contracts…"
"Tch!" Makima ripped the chain out of her brain, not caring for whatever side effects happen to her. This was by far the WORST thing that could've happened and she honestly didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to challenge an entire base of devil hunters to a fight!
Unfortunately, her new 'pet' was dumb enough.
Goku dodged several rapid fired shots from the female hunter that had a contract with the Thorn Devil. Her ammunition morphed into razor sharp thorns you'd see on roses, and were being shot out much faster than regular bullets. He deflected some with his staff, then charged forward with his staff still spinning to deflect the oncoming attacks.
"Take this, devil brat!" A deep voice came from behind him. The little monkey slid to the left and avoided the heavy anvil that almost crushed him. The other devil hunter apparently had a contract with the Anvil Devil.
"Man…these are some weird devils." Goku muttered, scratching his head. Once the Devil Hunters had decided to up the difficulty of the fight, Goku's been forced to constantly adapt to each of these weird abilities. Honestly, he was having a blast fighting these guys! With each one he took out another would appear with an even weirder power! But the biggest issue were the hunters themselves, who weren't very strong without their contracts. "But, you're not gonna beat me with them!"
"Oh yeah?! And what makes you say that?!" The female hunter growled.
"It's just that you guys are pretty weak. If you trained some more instead of relying on these devil contracts, then you guys would be a lot stronger!" Goku advised. He motioned towards the mountain of unconscious Devil Hunters that littered the grounds of the destroyed headquarters.
"Shut up, devil brat! I don't need to be getting lectured by some damn Sun Wukong wannabe devil!" The woman hissed with hatred.
"Sun Wukong? My name's Son Goku!" He corrected her.
"I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOUR NAME!" She screamed.
"That's it! Let's finally kill this brat!" The male hunter cried.
"Yeah, let's-" Two separate chains entered their brains before they could finish, causing their devils to disappear. Their bodies dropped to the ground with a loud thud, confusing Goku. He looked over to see who had done that and smiled.
"Makima!" He was happy to see his friend.
"Goku." She was NOT happy, but the boy was too dense to realize the anger seeping from underneath her smile. She slowly walked towards him and was growing even more infuriated by the way he refused to fear her wrath. "What did I tell you?"
"Tell me?"
"Before I entered the office."
"Oh! To sit in the chair!"
"And what did you not do?"
He genuinely looked confused and scratched his head in thought. Whatever hamster was turning that tiny brain of his was trying to solve the issue that Makima had. "Uh… I talked to someone?"
…
…
…
Later that day, after Makima wiped all of the Devil Hunters' and employee's minds of their battle with Goku, she would be eternally grateful that nobody other than that idiotic monkey was around to see the look of pure befuddlement on her face.
It would be almost a week later that Makima would return to work with her idiodic monkey assistant to tackle some mission in the bustling place called West City.
"West City?! Hey, my friend Bulma lives there!"
"Bulma…" She hadn't thought too much about it at the time, but now that they were heading towards the city on a train ride, Makima felt some familiarity with the name. "Bulma…as in Bulma Briefs?"
"Yup! She's my friend!"
For some weird reason that honestly didn't surprise her.
"Makima, can we stop for some food?"
"No."
"Mommy, can I have some food?" Goten once again interrupted her story, his stomach grumbling.
Makima sighed, but decided it was alright to pause here. "Go tell your sister and brother to get ready for dinner. They should be in their rooms studying."
"Yes, Mommy!" Goten raced towards the stairs leading to the second floor of their home. "GOHAN! NAYUTA! MOMMY SAYS GET READY FOR DINNER!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT, GOTEN! WE CAN HEAR YOU!" A female voice shouted, followed by a loud slam.
"Nayuta! What did Mom say about throwing Goten through a wall?" A softer, but stern masculine voice scolded the younger girl.
"But, Gohan, Goten was being annoying again!" She stomped her feet.
"No, I wasn't!"
"Yes, you were!"
Makima sighed, smiling at the sounds of her children. She didn't mind them having their arguments, but if they end up breaking into another fight that ends up almost wrecking the house again then she'll have to get involved.
Maybe telling them ALL the story during dinner will help keep them behaved.
Chapter End
NOTE: Yes, Nayuta is Goku and Makima's daughter. I kinda struggled to think of any other way for her to exist otherwise, so I figured this was the next best solution. She's not a reincarnation, so she's not exactly like Makima but she's still similar to her control freak of a mother.
That ending there was also to just reassure you all that Gohan exists.
I'll be having those at the end of every chapter to give you a glimpse of what their lives are like while the main story is just Makima explaining a very weird love story.
Goku caused a bunch of mayhem, fought some Devil Hunters, and ate some tasty food! He also gave Makima the largest headache of her life (One of many). The two are heading off to West City for some mission, what are the details? You'll have to wait and see!
I decided to just fuse the worlds together, so yeah, makes things easier for the sake of this story.
Have a great day!
