It's Time to Rock the Dragon
Chapter twenty three
“Well, I don’t know about your little ‘teams’ but I’m going to the main base. You can choose my team to go or not, I don’t really care. I’m sure those kids can find something to play with whilst I play with the big boys.” Vegeta smirked at Popo.
“I think that’s a dumb idea. Obviously it’s Goku and his team who should be going to the main base.” Piccolo intervened.
I watched Bulma look over at the fainted Chi Chi, and then snapped her fingers.
“Vegeta. You can disregard our plans and go to the main base if you wish, but if you do that I’m kicking you out of the house! You’ll have to live in a cave!” Bulma shouted at Vegeta.
“Foolish woman! Saiyans were bred to live in the wilderness and any other harsh living conditions.” Vegeta barked back.
“Fine then! See how you like living in a cave as opposed to our nice fluffy bed you’ve grown accustomed to. Don’t forget my mother’s delicious cooking, as well as having clean clothes, with lots of fabric softener applied.” Bulma smirked at Vegeta.
He snarled at her and turned his back to her, however Bulma was not fazed.
Instead, unknown to Vegeta, she silently put up her ten fingers, and began to mouth a count down, putting down a finger as she counted down.
Five, four, three, two, one…
“Bah fine then woman! Have it your way! Which person was the second strongest then?” Vegeta asked.
“Hm…White was easy, he only had a chance because he figured out my old weakness, the tail which is gone now. However Ninja Murasaki the second in command for that base was really tough. Silver was tough too, and pretty fast but I was tougher and faster than him. Blue was definitely the hardest opponent we had from that army, besides Tao of course.” Goku explained to Vegeta.
“How can I trust you, Kakarot? You might be saving the strongest for your son.” Vegeta spat.
“Blue was so not the strongest anyway! He was a pansy, ha.” Bulma spat, disagreeing with Goku.
I sent my eyes to the direction of the Duel Monsters crew (including Jess) for a few seconds. They, like me, had no idea what was happening. Some looked amused by the arguments by each of the Z Warriors and co. (Mainly Tristan and Joey) whilst others (Yugi and Tea) looked worried.
I, like everyone else though, kept my mouth shut, and kept darting my eyes to each party, watching the arguments back and fourth as if this were a tennis match, the arguments being the ball like item.
“See, even Bulma thinks you’re lying. Our team will match up against this ‘Silver’ you said was the second strongest, as I don’t believe you. If you think Blue is so tough, your son can have him.” Vegeta said.
I giggled at how he was nice to Bulma when she agreed with him or when he could get his own way, and even though she was hot headed, she couldn’t see this.
“I don’t really care who I go against, have your own way.” Gohan shrugged.
“Everyone you must not forget, this is team work. Whilst fighting is an important skill in this fight, duel monsters and strategic thinking is too. We still don’t know what their desire for the millennium items is, and how they will get them.” Popo stated.
“Right. We shouldn’t squabble about this, time is precious. Why doesn’t my Dad’s team go to the main base with Red, my team can go to Blue’s, Vegeta’s can go to Silver’s and um…the team with Android 18, Trunks and everybody else in their team go to White’s? I mean does anybody besides Vegeta really care who they face off against?” Gohan asked.
“I do. Major Metallitron was under White’s command; he was an android that was supposed to be cruel and relentless. He’s half the reason Dr. Gero so bitterly created so many Androids for the army, and was so angry when Goku defeated the army. He never got to complete an android stronger than Major Metallitron. In a way, like we’re programmed to kill Goku, both 17 and I were programmed to kill Major Metallitron.” 18 stated.
“Well that works out well then. Everybody got what they wanted, should we get a move on? We’ve been discussing and planning for a while, and now that’s all settled…” I burst out of desperation, but then quickly covered my mouth when I realised how rude I sounded.
“I think that sounds like a wise idea.” Piccolo agreed.
“Rightio kidlets in my group, I’ll be the one driving the plane as I frequently drive planes. Sometimes for Tien, Chiaotzu and/or myself, and sometimes to get away from the cops.” Launch proudly smirked.
“You know she isn’t joking…” Gohan whispered to me, with Tea overhearing and looking scared.
“This could be fun.” I shrugged.
“That’s the spirit girl, Gohan you sure picked a good one, make sure you put a ring on it at some point.” Launch stated.
Gohan and I both began to blush furiously at Launch’s statement.
“Yes, let’s please get this show on the road. I’ll be riding in the plane with you all, only to show even more I believe this is a dream and not real life. Was it real life, besides refusing to even tag along with you morons, I would be riding in the Blue Eyes Jet.” Kaiba stated coldly.
“I’ll make you dream, pretty boy.” Launch crudely stated, getting out her gun.
Before she began to fire shots at Kaiba, Tien quickly approached her and made her put the gun down, quickly embracing her ready to say his goodbyes for the time being.
“Guess this is my cue to say goodbye for the time being. We’ll only be apart for a short time hopefully; I can’t see this taking a long time. The main motive is to stop them before they can do any damage, but the actual stopping them part should be easily. Hopefully it’s done by dinner time.” Gohan smirked, wrapping an arm around me.
“You said it, son. I’m already starving.” Goku agreed with Gohan, earning a laugh from the whole gang.
“Me too! Let’s kick some butt and then congregate afterwards for a celebratory dinner.” Joey agreed, with Tristan nodding furiously.
Ah, good to see those boys getting along.
Everybody got their capsules out, and four Capsule Corp planes appeared. Everybody agreed flying would be quieter and use less energy, so the Red Ribbon army couldn’t detect them coming, as well as save energy for the fight.
With Goku making sure Mr. Popo and Dende would look after the still fainted Chi Chi, everybody jumped into their respective planes and we were finally off to save the world.
How exciting.
