I am a Good Fighter
A Dragon Ball Z Ficlet.
Authors Note: I dont usually do Dragon Ball Z anything but I just had to do this after watching the Blanket episode of the Powerpuff girls. Enjoy!
Goku finished vacuuming and paused. There, on the table, stood the Earth Special Forces Phone. It was ringing. Piccolos head perked up from the couch and he and Goku glanced at each other.
ITS MINE!
ILL GET IT!
They both dove for the phone at the speed of light. Piccolo got it.
Hello, Kame?
Hey Piccolo! What do you call a huge, purple snakelike creature destroying everything in its path?
Piccolo sighed and gave an annoyed glance to Goku, who smirked knowingly.
I dont know, what? Asked Piccolo annoyed.
A MONSTER!!! Kames laugh was drowned out by his screams.
VEGETA! LETS GO! Yelled Goku. He and Piccolo took off, speeding along the walls, faster than the naked eyeand stopped. They looked around puzzled.
Wheres Vegeta?
They went up to Gokus room. The walls were covered in various trophies that Goku had won and martial arts posters. Vegeta came out of the closet, his face slightly flushed.
Hey guys! Lets go! he said, and flew off, Goku and Piccolo in close second.
They came back victorious. Vegeta sat down at the table as ChiChi cooked dinner. Piccolo and Goku were cavorting around the room reliving some of the moments of the fight.
Yeah! And remember when Vegeta took him by the tail and swung him around and threw him?
YEAH! You were great Vegeta! Piccolo cuffed him on the shoulder.
Vegeta smirked and dug into the food that Chichi laid out for him.
A few days later
The Phone rang. Goku picked it up.
Yes Kame?
Oh, hello Goku. Whats big, is eating our town and,
Yeah, yeah, a monster. Well be out in a second.
Time to go! Townsville needs our help!
Piccolo and Goku took off againand stopped.
Where in the world is Vegeta?
Piccolo shrugged and looked out the window. A huge monster was once again terrorizing Townsville.
No time! Weve gotta get out there!
Goku and Piccolo sped off. They met the monster as he was derailing and devouring a train car. Goku and Piccolo both tried pulling the train car out of the creatures mouth. It looked down at them and began to claw at them, its pincers nearly cutting them in half.
Miss me? came a raspy voice from above them. They looked up and there stood Vegeta, hair gleaming from the sun that was shining behind him.
About time! yelled Goku.
Vegeta only smirked and flew down and daintily removed the train car from the creatures mouth. He positioned the arms so that one was next to the other, pincers facing its wrist, and flew around it and took its tail and put it into the train rails. Bolts of electricity flew up the creatures spine. It howled and flexed its pincers, cutting off one if its arms. Vegeta appeared near the still flexing pincer, picked it up, and cut off the creatures head with it. Deprived of a head, its body ran off into the unknown.
Great job Vegeta!but WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? piccolo said, giving him a venomous look.
Vegeta shrugged. what does it matter? I showed up didnt I?
Not being able to argue with that logic, they sped off towards Gokus house to eat another huge dinner.
The next day,
The Phone rang. Goku picked it up.
Yeah, yeah Kame, a monsters attacking Townsville, we know. We can see it from our windows you know.
Goku hung up. Piccolo appeared by his side.
Another monster?
What else?
Jeez. You think monsters would get tired of coming over here. We kick their butts each time they do.
Goku chuckled. Yeah really.
Suddenly, Goku noticed something.
Goku looked up at the Narrator. errwhat did I notice?
Piccolo fell face down into the floor, his feet flying up above him.
*The Narrator slaps him across the face, knocking what little sense can be knocked into Gokus peanut brain.*
Oh yeah! Vegetas gone!
Duh Goku. Now Where do you suppose hed be?
Goku thought for a moment and anotherand anotherand another
Getting dinner?
Piccolo smacked his forehead and looked evilly at Goku.
No.
Goku shrugged. Then dont ask me.
Piccolo shook his head. Suddenly he heard a hoarse scream emanating from Gokus bedroom and a flash of light flying past them.
WHERE IS IIIIIIIIIIIIT?!?!?!?!?!
Goku and Piccolo followed Vegeta into the kitchen where he dove into the pantry and began throwing pots and pans in every direction.
Goku screamed. MY POTS! MY PANS! MY PRECIOUS POTS AND PANS! HOW WILL WE HAVE DINNER?!
Piccolo smacked his forehead again.
WHERE IS IT? IVE GOT TO HAVE IIITT!!
Vegeta stood up, panic stricken, and grabbed the sobbing Goku by the collar.
WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS MY BLANKIE?!
Goku and Piccolo burst out laughing.
Youre WHAT? they both asked, incredulous.
Vegeta continued, too panicky to care. My Blankie! It makes me a powerful fighter!
Goku and Piccolo were just about to dissolve into maniacal laughter when a huge crash interrupted.
look for it later! Weve got work to do! piccolo grabbed the forlorn Vegeta and flew toward the crash, Goku right behind.
When they got there the buildings were broken and in rubble, the streets were stripped of asphalt, and around a trashcan surrounded by several frightened people
Was a scaly red monster the size of a housecat.
Goku poked Vegeta in the ribs with his elbow. See? You should be able to handle that without your precious blankie.
The small creature took a huge breath and screamed, sending shockwaves tearing through the buildings and reducing them into piles of concrete and insulation.
errmaybe not.
oh, GREAT! Vegeta said, panicking.
Piccolo pushed him towards the monster. come on. You can kill that pipsqueak!
Vegeta sighed, walked toward the monster and took a couple weak swings.
It punched Vegeta to the ground with one sucker punch.
Piccolo sped off. Ill be right back!
Goku stood there and watched Vegeta get pummeled for a while until Piccolo came back, bearing a green blanket.
He gave it to the messed up Vegeta. He rubbed it to his face, feeling the extra downy softnessbefore defeating the creature with a few swift strokes.
Later that evening
Vegeta rubbed the blanket across his face. Piccolo looked disgustedly at Vegeta and Goku chowed down oblivious to everything.
Im a good fighter. Im a good fighter Vegeta chanted over and over.
You know Vegeta, that isnt the real blanket.
Vegeta stopped the chanting and looked up at piccolo angrily.
Now before you kill me, I proved a point. Your blankie did nothing to help you. You see?
Vegeta looked down at the fake blanket sadly. He threw it into the air
Where it was caught by Goku.
My blankie! he began to rub it against his face.
Im a good fighter. Im a good fighter.
Vegeta and Piccolo both shook their heads, laughing hysterically.
