Mako Crossover part 6 Written by Chris Homer MSTed by Jared a.k.a Shade the thief Jaa1284@aol.com SATELLITE OF Z WARRIORS Everyone collapsed as soon as they got out, except for Goku, who immediatly started raiding the fridge. Krillan shook his head. "So, how are you guys holding up?" "Not so well." Yamucha rubbed his head. "This guy tried way too hard to put together. These games are like identical poles on magnets. You can't put them together without a lot of pushing and forcing." "And what this guy tries to do!" Vegeta complained. "I can't stand all the sappy crap he is putting in." HELL 13 Freeza started up the monitor. "Is that so? Well, my dear Vegeta, you will love this next part. It consists of no plot action and a LOT of romance. Enjoy!" SZW "Crap!" Vegeta shouted. Goku came over holding a great deal of food. "What did I miss?" The alarm started up. Goku tried to shout, but his mouth was full of food. (theme music) In the not so distant future, in another time and place, Freeza plans to avenge his death, against the Saiya-jin race. He took the two greatest of them all, and some friends to go on through the fall. He trapped them in a satellite, and he'll make them snap since they're too strong in a fight. (VEGETA: Nooooo!) Freeza: I'll send them lousy fan-fics, and whatever else I can find. (LA-LA-LA) They'll read the lousy ideas, and completely lose their minds. (LA-LA-LA) Now keep in mind that the prisoners have no idea what to do, they are worried of thier fate, well... wouldn't you? Satellite roll call! Goku! (Feed me!) Krillan (This is nuts!) Yamucha (Don't hurt me!) VEGETA! (All will die!!) If you're wondering how they know thier stuff, Since they are not from this Earth Repeat to yourself, Its just a fic That type of thinking has no worth. It's Dragon Ball Z Theater 3000! Guitar twang during door sequence 7 (dog bone opening) 6 (it's a wall. Vegeta blasts it.) 5 (Krillin is thrown head first at a window, like a baseball) 4 (drawbridge comes down) 3 (door swings open) 2 (Dragon scuptured door lifts) 1 (hatch opens) (The 4 sit in the theater. Left to right: Yamucha, Krillan, Goku, Vegeta) >Mako Crossover Chapter 12 >Trust >By Chris Homer >Jenova was a bit disappointed that the attempts of removing the obstacles >which could get in her way had failed. GOKU: A bit? She completely failed! >She had given Giovanni almighty power, and he had lost it. KRILLAN: Real smooth move, there. Incredible power, and he can’t keep track of it. >The young man James had acquired, and Jenova couldn't do a damn thing >about it. It was her who gave the power, but it was Akuma and Ogre >controlling it, and they didn't know about her scheme. >Or at least, she hoped they wouldn't. YAMUCHA: Who wants to bet that they actually do? >It was time to unleash the full arsenal. >She would send a message to Cloud, the one with Jenova Cells, to >VEGETA: Kill everyone. >come to the Crater. >There, the final battle would be engaged. _____________________________________________________________________ >If there was one thing that Akuma was good at, YAMUCHA: It was not being good at anything. >it was being cagey. And it looked like Jenova had underestimated the >beings power. Being one of no soul, he could sense other souls and other >presences here. The 'man' opposite him, the Toshin/Ogre, was also one of >no soul, and possessed the same characteristics as Akuma did. GOKU: They are both evil monsters from a fighting game. >Both of them had a desire for power, and tried to use it to vanquish >their enemies, as Giovanni did as well as Jenova. VEGETA: So they all have no brain? >However, they were tougher than expected. To deal with Giovanni was no >easy task, it was time to enter the battle themselves. >Giovanni reappeared with them. >"You failed." Akuma said simply. >"I know. They were stronger than I expected." Giovanni said and looked >up. "Will you kill me?" KRILLAN (Akuma): Yes. Next question? >"No. You will stay here. They are coming here." Akuma said, although >he had no idea where that thought come from. How the hell did he know >they were coming. YAMUCHA: And why was his head spinning around in circles? >'Put more pressure on' Jenova thought to herself, looking over her new 'family'. >"It is time for the final confrontation." Akuma said. >"AND I'M BRINGING SOME HELP....." Ogre moaned. >And with that, white light shone..... GOKU: Enterprise, five to transport. Energize… >.....as Bison, Heihachi and Sagat came upon them. >Before Sagat could murmur 'WHAT THE HELL?' KRILLAN: That’s one loud murmur. >Akuma, Ogre, Giovanni and Jenova(unknown to them), had cast a cloud of >Mako over their minds, YAMUCHA: So there should be a Materia shower soon. GOKU: Mako! The swiss army knife of magic devices! >for ones as evil as them should be formidable allies. >They found it difficult to persuade Sagat to fall to the evil level, but he succumbed, revenge is a form of evil in their book, GOKU: Coming to bookstores near you. The new book by Akuma and Ogre, "So What if We are Evil Soul Sucking Monsters"! >and Sagat thirsted on it. >Bison and Heihachi however were more than willing, to conquer one world >and to crush their enemies at the same time, it would be like a dream come true. >Bison sneered as he saw Akuma, the second man only to survive the raging demon >was indeed Bison, and Akuma hadn't forgot it. >However, they had a united passion together. YAMUCHA: Mud wrestling. >Power and evil. >And a united evil laugh was screamed upon them all. >With Jenova watching under unknown eyes.......... _____________________________________________________________________ >"So, you three are some another world?" Elena said, still disbelieving. KRILLAN: And incoherent. >"Yes..." moaned Sakura for the one-hundreth time. GOKU: I think we’ve found the next Ken. >"Well, if all the girls look like you over there, I'm outta here!" Reno smiled, happily and ecstatically. YAMUCHA: That’s why he’s nuts. He’s on Ecstacy. VEGETA: If HE goes over there, that world would evacuate EVERYONE! >"......" was all Rude could say (as normal). >Chun-Li was a bit bored with the conversation. It seemed that Elena was >oblivious to everything (seeing a couple of dead bodies does that to a person), VEGETA: If they are a complete pansy. >Rude was a non-speaker, and Reno was an over-speaker. At least they had >saved them, well, sort of. >They were off to Junon now, heading to the western continent. They had >searched most of the area surrounding them, and were tired, so could get >a rest in Junon, as well as get on the submarine. >"The blood is still on my clothes..." Elena whispered, YAMUCHA (Elena): So I better take them OFF! (crosses fingers) >before dozing off under the sleep spell that Reno cast. GOKU (reno): Finally shut up... >"Useless....." Reno sighed. >"Why'd you do that?" Yuffie said. >"Watch." And held another materia, an ice materia. >It glowed toward Elena. VEGETA: One Elena, on the rocks, coming up. >"YAAAH!" A sharp pain entered her body, screaming hard. The cold ice >flowed through her and woke her up with a shock. >"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR? THAT COULD HAVE HURT?" KRILLAN: I think she would know if it would have hurt or not. >she screamed at Reno. >"She's back to normal." Reno smirked, and Yuffie and the girls couldn't >resist a smile either. >"What? What the hell happened?" Elena said. >"You've been asleep for the last 20 years trying to evolve from an ugly >duckling to a beautiful swan. Hasn't worked though....." ALL:... GOKU: That was.... KRILLAN: ALMOST funny.... >Reno felt a good slap across the cheeks. GOKU: I hope you mean his face! >"CHEEKY BASTARD!" she screamed. >A few more laughs erupted from the crowd, Reno didn't find it funny, but >at least women were paying attention to him. In a painful way mind you. YAMUCHA: Just the way Reno likes it. >Even Rude had to smile at his best friends discomfort. GOKU: Great friend, there. >Tifa had went ahead into the town of Junon, asking to use the submarine. >They had left it in Junon Dock, and Tifa had to get permission to use it. GOKU: Since it is theirs, I don’t know why... KRILLAN: Yuffie must have traded it for some materia. >Of course, they did, as a heroine of Avalanche, but was a bit more wary >of the Turks and the unknowns. >"I trust them. Well, most of them." she said, eyeing Reno warily. >Reno responded by pulling a face at her. VEGETA: Out of a bag of faces he took from dead bodies. >"Why are we going on the sub?" Misty said to the older woman. >"As we've searched most of this side of the planet thanks to the chocobos, >the only option is that our friends are on the other side." said Tifa, >unless they were on the far western continents, such as Wutai, or worse, >somewhere like Mideel. KRILLAN: Cause Mideel SUCKS! >If so, they were gonna have a few problems. GOKU: I still don’t know why Reeve hasn’t activated Cait and told everyone where the others are. KRILLAN: Why spoil the fun? VEGETA: Personally, I found being killed by Freeza more fun than this. >Despite this, she managed to get the sub out, then came upon a problem. >"Er, guys, anyone know how to pilot this thing?" she asked worriedly. In >their adventure, it was Cloud, Cid and Vincent who had piloted the damn thing, >and she didn't have a clue about mechanics and all that crap. YAMUCHA: I don’t think she has a clue, period. >Looking around the faces, it looked like everyone had a similar look, >except for.... Rude stepped up. "I used to be a navigator before I joined. >I've studied the layout of the Shinra sub and know how to operate it." He >glanced at Reno. "You should have as well, or were you being a lazy ass, as >usual....." GOKU: Does Rude really need to ask? >Reno shrugged. Rude took that as being a lazy ass. He sighed. >As he went to the controls, Chun-Li went beside him. >"I have some knowledge in electronics and mechanics. As an INTERPOL police >officer, I knew how to prepare for extreme situations, include war vehicles. >I know little about submarines, but enough about electronics to at least set >us a course." she said. GOKU: Chun then set a course ten miles inland. >Rude nodded and Rude and Chun-Li took the controls. Tifa gave a sigh of >relief. She had earlier sent Reeve and Elymra back to the Chocobo Farm to get >Marlene and they stayed there, resting. Reeve had been giving a BAHAMUT ZERO >materia, just in case. KRILLAN: Of course! So Tifa and the others won't need it. YAMUCHA: The chocobos are enough, c’mon! GOKU: I guess the author is stacking the odds against them. >It was mastered, so nothing would survive in it's path. >But they needed a third person for the engine lookabout. >Suddenly, Misty surprisingly volunteered. >"I've been in a ship before, and know how the things work. I've escaped >from a sunken ship as well, and know about survival." she chuckled, >remembering all the problems she faced with Ash and Brock. VEGETA: Yeah, after being around with those two wastes of space, the fact that she’s alive is great credentials. >"Probably, you've got better experience in danger, but I've escaped >from a sunken wreckage, GOKU: We know, you said so already. >and if anything goes wrong..." she patted her backpack, "....my friends >can get us out of here..." >Tifa smiled. This was getting better than expected. >"O.K, Chun, Misty, Rude, set a course for Costa Del Sol." >"Why?" Sakura asked. YAMUCHA: Tifa wants to work on her tan. >"We're gonna meet our friends." Tifa smiled. KRILLAN (Tifa): Don’t ask how I know, I just do. _____________________________________________________________________ >"You know, we could have gotten on the ship at Costa Del Sol!" moaned >Barret, not happy riding the sea serpent known as Gyarados. >It growled in retaliation. VEGETA: You don’t have to take that, you lizard. Eat him! >"Barret, the next ship comes in 4 hours, do you want to wait that long?" >Cloud said, >knowing that Barret wasn't the most patient man in the world. KRILLAN: Or the brightest. >Then again, neither was he. >Besides, Lapras and Gyarados were extremely fast and efficient, and could >carry more than one person. >Ash and Brock choose Staryu and Starmie, knowing how to surf on the starfish >pokemon as Misty had shown them. Looking at them made them realise how much >they missed GOKU: Pudding. >their friend. >As several Lapras', Gyarados', Starmies and Staryus assembled, James had a >question to Cloud. >"Uh, where are we going exactly?" he said. KRILLAN (James): And are we there yet? >"We've got to find our friends.....there are still people missing from some >of our groups." James understood but Jessie was a bit pissed GOKU: Why is everyone drinking? >because they were gonna help the brats by finding that young girl. >However, her real anger was because that their boss had betrayed them. >Jessie wasn't a heartless girl really, VEGETA: Just brainless. >she had suffering bitterness KRILLAN: Wow. She’s so bad even her bitterness suffers. >even before she encountered Ash and company. Her past wasn't a pleasant one, >flunking Pokemon Tech, thrown into the street and heartless parents, was >enough for her to become heartless and uncaring. YAMUCHA: So she IS heartless? >Even joining Team Rocket was a bit of luck, as Giovanni >only accepted them because of their feeling of rejection and hatred, >thinking it would be useful. GOKU: Man, he really screwed up there. >However, even that was gone. There was no reason to chase Pikachu anymore. >And James had the power of pokemon in his hand. >This world had more feeling and power than her old world. She had already >meet a place with peace and understanding (before Giovanni attacked) in >Cosmo Canyon, and wondered if this world would be more understanding. They >knew nothing about her or pokemon. VEGETA: That would be the only reason they won’t kill her. >She loved pokemon, but only had two. But she cared for Arbok and Likitung dearly. GOKU: When she wasn’t beating them up. >And also, her friend, James, was still with her since Pokemon Tech. Despite >arguments and her choice of weapon, the mallet, KRILLAN: Not just her choice, but that of Misty, and for that matter, any other easily angered female in all of anime. >they cared for each other. As friends, or more than friends? VEGETA: Not another one. >(Well, the unusual cross-dressing may put her off, GOKU: I don’t see why, it didn't bug Tifa. >but maybe it will stop now TR is finished with them) >Jessie sighed. This world seemed to find peace with her. She stepped on a >Lapras with James and Meowth. >Barret, for one time in his life was scared stiff by the Gyarados. James >smirked. Who would have thought that came from a wimpy Magikarp? GOKU: You. >Barret reluctantly grabbed the Gyarados as did Cloud. Cait had to be >careful, as his electronics weren't exactly waterproof, VEGETA: Cool, he’s gonna start shorting out. >so he got on a Gyarados as well and scooted up to the top of it, the >highest point and held on, although it was difficult for the cat and moogle. >Vincent didn't need one as he could fly as Chaos. Red was more tricky. His flame >tail and the fear of pokemon at him made him difficult to be ridden. GOKU: I’d imagine if anyone tried to ride Red, they wouldn’t get far. VEGETA: Sure they would. They'd get to right around the digestive tract. >However, a Dragonair was created and wasn't afraid. Red had no choice but >to get upon it. >Ryu and Ken choose a Starmie and Staryu, Ken was about to introduce Ryu to >the heights and horrors of surfing. KRILLAN: This should be good. >Ryu wasn't particularly thrilled by that prospect. Cid look like to be >screaming profanity as it was being held in the air by a couple of >Pidgeoots and Ling's Articuno. YAMUCHA: Cid’s been hitting the buffet bar again. >He didn't want to go 'damn near' the water, in case his cigerrates got wet. GOKU: Heaven forbid!! >Guile had taken the more sea-faring root, going on the only Vaporeon, as >he didn't mind getting wet. >On a final Lapras, came Jin, Julia, hwoarang and Ling, all fully recovered >and held on tight to the Lapras and to each other. >"It looks like the journey is going to begin." Cloud said, nervously hanging >on to the Gyarados. >On contrare Cloud, it's only just begun............ KRILLAN: That’s funny, I thought he just said that. GOKU(singing): We’ve only just begun... _____________________________________________________________________ >"Damn, and it was going so well!" moaned Yuffie, trying hard not to be seasick. >The electronics had jammed due to the access Mako. Rude and Chun-Li were on it, >whilst Misty watched the periscope. KRILLAN: Hey, Misty, that’s great but maybe you should look THROUGH the periscope. >"Is everything like this?" moaned Reno. >"I'm afraid so." said Tifa, getting worried. >Reno checked his PHS. Interference and static. Damn! KRILLAN: Who would he call? Tseng? GOKU: Cool. So Reno is a medium now? >"Ir's looks like the interference is affecting with the electronics. >We'll have it fixed in a bit." said Chun-Li. >Tifa moaned. Chun-Li failed to mentioned what a 'bit' was. Probably >a couple of hours........ YAMUCHA: Some bit... _____________________________________________________________________ >Barret was trying not to scream as he was riding the sea serpent, GOKU: I can’t imagine Barret terrorized like that. >but it was damn difficult. It was like a giant rodeo show, and Barret >wasn't winning any time soon. >Cloud (on a seperate Gyarados) was enjoying the show, KRILLAN: You’re asking for it, Cloud. >then quickly turned away seeing the look of doom given by Barret. Cait wasn't fairing much better, his hands has literally turned into suction cups so that he didn't fall. GOKU: I didn’t know Cait was like the T-1000. >If robots could sweat, VEGETA: They would rust. >I'm sure Cait would have been drowned in it. VEGETA: Are you? Are you really? >Guile on the Vaporeon, was speeding through the water, Vaporeon was extremely fast, >small, and strong. Guile didn't mind getting wet, he had been through worse times. >Beside, he was having some fun, it had been a while since he had thought about >something asides from revenge, YAMUCHA: Like women. >but he had been glad he was getting it off his mind. >Team Rocket were enjoying the calm surroundings (aside from Barret) around >them. Like Jessie, James had seemed found a sense of peace. No longer part of >Team Rocket, he had no problem with the kid anymore. GOKU: Even with the fact that you have been constantly embarrassed by him? >He was free. >He hoped now his friendship with Jessie could continue, perhaps even more than >friendship..... VEGETA(Slamming his head into a wall): Why!? Why!? Why!?…. YAMUCHA: Screw the fic, I'm watching this! >Ash and Brock had sensed the change in Team Rocket as well. They seemed >more relaxed and weren't bothering them at all. He was surprised, he thoguth >their job was everything because since Day One they had pestered him. But >now....they were different. KRILLAN: They were even more boring. >He remembered when they found Togepi. He said that they were beginning to sound >human. Well, now, they had found humanity and were living with it. GOKU: Despite the fact that they were really chimps. >Brock was also happy, but for other reasons. His Vulpix had somehow evolved >without the aid of a stone, and Ling had congratulated him for using her >pokemon expertly with a kiss. Brock blushed, but decided to ignore it. >His habit of fliritng was something he couldn't help, YAMUCHA: He also couldn’t help the odor of feces. >but he was starting to learn how to control it. A few girls had accepted him, >such as Misty and Susie, his rival breeder, as good friends. Perhaps he should >leave it as that and let things go naturally without being slapped every time..... YAMUCHA(Brock):.........NAH!! >Now, he had his new ninetales to worry about. True, he would miss Vulpix, GOKU: Why? It’s right there. >but now his breeding skills were going to be tested to the limit. >Ryu was having a more difficult time than Ken on the starfish pokemon. Ryu >was usually one of great balance, but on a craeture which could pierce flesh >with its spines wasn't the most encouraging thing. He tried sitting behind >it like Brock was doing, but he kept sinking in, VEGETA: FATSO! >and the Staryu moaned its frustration. Ryu apologised and just held on, >hoping for the best. KRILLAN: What would that be? GOKU: My bet is not dying. >Ken heard a huge element of cursing coming from above him. Cid was screaming his >head off, with curses even he hadn't heard before. VEGETA: What? Is Cid creating new words as he goes along? >Ken chuckled at the agitation of the old pilot. >All of them were worked up with worry, a bit too much. >So much that they almost didn't see the submarine below them....... KRILLAN: Well, maybe the water is too dark… YAMUCHA: No, they are just stupid. _____________________________________________________________________ >Below water >"All right, almost done!" Chun exclaimed, asYuffie kept jogging down, >trying hard not to be seasick. >Tifa gave her a tranquilizer, hoping to calm her down. KRILLNA: Did she shoot it from a dart gun? >It turned out Sakura also needed one, more of nerves rather than sickness. >Tifa sighed, but then felt something whizz over head. >Misty was still looking at the periscope, when a few whizzing figures past them. YAMUCHA: So the ocean is turning yellow? >She recgonised the creatures. A Starmie? A Lapra..... >She then recognised the figures on them. >"Team Ro....Ash? ASH?" GOKU (Misty): Do I know someone named Ash? >Tifa felt something as a whizzing went over them. She felt a sense of >recognition. "Cloud?" _____________________________________________________________________ >Above water >A whispering voice fluttered in both Cloud and Ash's hearts. >They had heard a couple of angelic voices. >"Tifa?" >"Misty?" >"What?" Brock said. GOKU: Don’t worry, two of them have just gone insane. >"I felt her. Misty, she's nearby...." Ash said. >"Nonsense. You just miss her. We're in the middle of nowhere....." >"But I...." >"I feel it too young one." Cloud said. GOKU: So Cloud’s trying to sound like some old wise guy? >"James, can you stop us all for a minute." >James had fallen asleep on the Lapras. ALL: Wahhhh wahhh wahh.... >"JAMES!" screamed Cloud. >"Huh?" James eyelids fluttered. >"How do we stop these things?" Cloud said. >"Oh, er.....everyone, stop!" he shouted. KRILLAN: Oh. That’s a nice simple way. >All of the pokemon, hearing their 'master' and stopped. >A couple a bit too quickly. Barret's Gyarados stopped abruptly and Barret >went flying off into the sea. VEGETA: That should improve his temper. >And Pidgeot stopped, but Articuno didn't. The force of pressure was too >much as Cid went flying from Pidgeot's claws and into the ocean. GOKU: This should be interesting. Two of the most volatile tempers in existence. >Everyone started to laugh, until they saw the look on the pilot and former >leader of AVALANCHE's face. >"O.K, WHAT THE $%£! WAS THAT ABOUT?" Barret and Cid said at the same time. GOKU: Huh. I figured Barret would have been firing rounds by now. >"I don't know, your leader wanted me to stop?" questioned James. >Barret and Cid turned their pissed looks to their leader. >"Well, Spike, did you want a laugh or is there a reason for this balls-up?" GOKU: He wanted a laugh. > Cid asked, as calm as an irate man could. >"I....felt.....her...calling.....me...." said Cloud. YAMUCHA (Cloud): And I am talking like Shatner again. >"Who?" >"I don't know. One force feels bad, like......Sephiroth......but also....." >Cloud spoke quietly by the end. >"Tifa....." KRILLAN: Sadly no one heard him and they kept going. _____________________________________________________________________ >Below water >"It is them!" screamed Misty excitedly. >Chun-Li had stopped to look as well and saw Ryu, Ken and Guile among them. He was >beyond happy! GOKU: The sex change operation went perfectly! >Ryu was O.K! >Tears flowed from Tifa, Sakura, Misty and Chun-Li, which prompted Yuffie >to cry as well, as happiness flowed. Reno wondered what the hell was going >on, but Elena hit him for not being sensitive enough. GOKU: Everyone hits Reno a lot. VEGETA: Wouldn’t you? GOKU: Yeah, but… >"They are being reunited with their friends and loved ones, or can't you >comprehend that?" she said. KRILLAN (Reno): Duhhhhh... nope! >Reno said nothing, but instead kissed Elena on the mouth. GOKU: I thought he liked Yuffie? >"Mmmm....what was that for?" Elena said, ready to hit him. KRILLAN: I think the author just felt like doing it for the hell of it. >"I being reunited with my friend and love one." Reno smirked and winked at >her. >"Grr....." Elena hated sweet talk, but still had to smile. She would beat >him up later. GOKU: That’s a good plan. A false sense of security is a good way to get a good shot in.. >Rude remained motionless as he watched the emotion flood the sub more than >any ocean wave could. VEGETA: Now THAT is a good plan. Flooding is always good. >Despite only being around them in a short time, it seemed the emotion was >affecting him as well, as he removed his sunglasses and wiped his eyes. YAMUCHA: And his retinas were burned by the sudden removal of his eye shields. >"Rude, do us a favour please?" Tifa said, excitedly. GOKU (Tifa): Please jump into the water. We need an anchor >"Of course." Rude said, knowing what it was. He started to raise the sub to >surface. _____________________________________________________________________ >Above water KRILLAN: I think we could figure that out. >"They are here somewhere!" said Ash, Ryu and Cloud together, who could >all feel something. >"You are imagining it!" said Brock, Ken and Barret together, who thought >they were going mad. >The others didn't say anything, just watching the confrontation get stronger. GOKU: Cait started passing out popcorn for the big fight. >Cid had taken refuge on Team Rocket's Lapras. >James and Jessie also felt something was here, as did all the Tekken >characters, but they felt it would be wise not to get involved in an >argument in the middle of nowhere. >"They are....." started Barret, but then they all stopped open mouthed. KRILLAN: And all broke into a song! >A submarine began to surface below them. >It was the sub they had used in their travels. >Which means..... YAMUCHA: Brock, Ken, and Barret must feel dumb. >Cloud decided not to gloat against Barret. His eyes were as watery as the >ocean below them. >The sub emerged fully, as Ash and Ryu waited patiently. >And then....... VEGETA: The end. >Tifa emerged, a bit tired, but as beautiful as ever. >"T...Tifa...." >"Cloud?" they both whispered. GOKU: So they both said ‘Tifa’ AND ‘Cloud’? >They then screamed their names out as Tifa jumped 6 feet across the >sub to Cloud, not caring about the splash, or that they were reunited >on the back of a giant sea serpent. YAMUCHA: Or that Cloud had an extra head. >Cloud and Tifa were back, and Cloud hugged his best friend to the limit. KRILLAN: Limit break, that is. >Tifa returned it as tears flowed through their eyes as Cloud continued to hug her. >Without warning, he kissed her on the forehead, and held her even more tightly. GOKU (Tifa): Can’t….breathe… >Tifa cried some more as tears of happiness came from her. She had never felt so >relieved or as good in her life. >Ash was happy for them but was a trifle disappoin.... GOKU (Ash): Ooh, a fish! >"Ash?" >Ash turned to see the girl of his dreams. KRILLAN: Britney Spears. GOKU: Well, they never said Ash had good taste. >"Misty?" >"MISTY!" >"ASH! BROCK!" >Misty sent out Starmie and surfed over to Ash and Brock and wrapped her >friends up in a bear hug. GOKU: I think she’s too small for that. >Ash laughed out loud, the trio reunited. Suddenly, tears appeared in both >their eyes, tears of joy similar to when Pikachu returned to Ash and when >Misty realised that Ash was alive in Lavender Town. KRILLAN: I have NO idea what they are talking about. >Brock and Pikachu got in with the bear hug as well, but released much >quicker than Ash and Misty did. It was so obvious they liked each other, >but lets humor the plot of this fanfic just a bit longer....... ALL: NOOOO!!!!! >And the last piece of the puzzle...... >"Ryu! Ken! Guile!" screamed Chun-Li and Sakura together. >Ryu looked up at the two voices. GOKU: I notice that no one is mentioning Yuffie. VEGETA: As it should be. >Sakura and Chun-Li? >"YOU'RE......YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?" Ryu said. >"Is that all you can say?" Sakura said. GOKU: So his brain isn’t working. Your point? >Ryu took his actions as words KRILLAN: Which really confused everyone. YAMUCHA: Does that mean he’s a mime? VEGETA: KILL!!! >as he swam to the submarine, forgetting the wetness as he climbed up >and hugged the two girls, making them wet as well. YAMUCHA: Heh heh heh… >But they didn't care, they were back together. >Ryu held them as tight as possible as Yuffie appeared. GOKU: Damn… >"Oh, I don't get a tearful welcome?" Yuffie scoffed. KRILLAN: Nope. >"Hey, Yuffie, you're here too?" Cloud said and beckoned for her to come over. GOKU: He sounds real excited. >"Huh?" she said. >"I'm glad you are all right." he said smiling, still holding Tifa. >Yuffie blushed. "Well, er, thanks...." she said as she and Cloud hugged. >Reno, Rude and Elena watched this from the sub as all the friends got >together in the middle of the ocean to offer relief and happiness. VEGETA: Sadly, they all drowned. >"Should we point out we're here?" Reno said. KRILLAN: That’s pretty close to suicide. >"Nah, let's not ruin the moment." Elena said. >"HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Barret screamed, spotting them >as he hugged Tifa. GOKU: They didn’t have to worry about it after all. >"Darn." Reno said. GOKU (Reno): Nice knowing you guys. >Mako Crossover Chapter 13 >Love And Hate VEGETA: I prefer hate. GOKU: I think this is a romance heavy chapter. ALL: AUGHHH!!!! >By Chris Homer >"Who are these guys?" Ling asked. >"Allow us to introduce ourselves to a beautiful young lady." Reno smirked >and bowed. GOKU (Reno): I just need to find one. >"We are the Turks, master of kidnapping, murder and all that junk among the >highest power known as Shinra." said Reno. KRILLAN: You want to die, don’t you guys? >Reno, sensing that he sparked trouble (The fact that Ryu and Ken's fists were >glowing was an indication) YAMUCHA: That’s a pretty damn good one. >decided to make peace. >"However, Shinra was recently....retired......thanks to Sephiroth, WEAPON >and these bunch of rebels." Reno said, indicating AVALANCHE. VEGETA: Nope, they’re still dead. >Barret was ready to ring the scrawn mans neck, but surprisingly Tifa >defended him. >"Let it go Barret, sure, he's a jerk, but they did save us and our new >friends." she said. Barret looked pissed as a rat, and his anger didn't >seem to drain. However, Cloud was more interested in these new friends. GOKU: With Tifa there? Cloud, you have no shame! >"Tifa, who came with you then?" Cloud said. >Tifa motioned to the older woman. "This is Chun-Li, a police woman from the other >world, one of the best and also one of the best fighters I have ever seen." >Tifa said. "And pretty too." said Cloud. YAMUCHA: Everyone is suicidal today. >Tifa looked angry but saw him wink at her and she blushed. >"Pleased to meet you miss Li. I'm Cloud Strife, leader of this lot, >unfortunately." he said, KRILLAN: Hate really deserved to be in the title, didn’t it? >smirking as Tifa playfully hit him again. GOKU: She also ‘playfully’ gave him a concussion. >Chun-Li returned it, seeing love in the eyes of Tifa and Cloud. She smiled. >"Thank you Mister Strife." she said. "This is my friend, Sakura." >Yuffie had been talking to Sakura as Cloud was looking in her direction. >"She's a bit young for this type of excitement....." Cloud said as Tifa hit >him again. KRILLAN: It must be that time of month for Tifa again. >"Oh, please, she's the same age as Yuffie, a kick-ass fighter and has a much >better personality than certain apes around here....." said Tifa. >"You saying I'm an ape?" Cloud said. YAMUCHA (Tifa): Yes. >"No, I'm telling you are one." Tifa smiled. Cloud grunted as Tifa and Chun >giggled. VEGETA: You proving it or something? >Cloud then noticed the young girl in the corner talking to Ash, Brock and Ling. >"Who's that? She was with you as well?" Cloud said, whose memory must be on >cloud nine GOKU: Or maybe it’s his lack of a brain. >because Ken and Ryu and Ash had been telling them about their friends for a >while. GOKU: He was far too busy working his hair to listen. >"That's Misty, a pokemon trainer, I think she calls it!" she said. "She >saved my life when I fought Heihachi...." >"She saved your life?" Cloud was surprised, the girl couldn't be 12 at the most. GOKU: So? >"Yep, her pokemon saved me as Reno cured me. If it wasn't for her, we >wouldn't have won." she said. >Cloud smiled. "I think we'd better talk together....." then observed his >surroundings. "....in somewhere other than the middle of the ocean." VEGETA: Damn, a bit longer and they would have all been gone. ________________________________________________________________________ >Thanks to the many water pokemon James created, they arrived at Junon dock within >minutes. After a bit of walking, they entered the Chocobo Farm, where Barret was >greeted by Marlene. >"DADDY!" she screamed KRILLAN: And ran away in a complete panic. >and leapt into her fathers arms, squeezing him really tight. >"Marlene....." Barret said, emotion cracking in his voice, the biggest man >in the groups, looked ready to openly gush tears. >But there is nothing wrong with that. YAMUCHA: Says you! >A tear trickled down from his eye. >"I thought.....I would never see you again....." he said. >"Daddy, you are crushing me...." she said. VEGETA (Barret): Your point is? >Barret laughed as happy tears came upon his big face. They weren't the >only one. Tifa, Sakura and Misty along with Red were also having huge >smiles with tears coming upon their faces. >"Daddy, the chocobo man let me sit on the chocobo. I fell to sleep on >it. It was tame, it didn't hurt me.....I thought I would die, those >nasty men, have you stopped them....." GOKU: Barret reacquaints himself with the fact that little kids never shut up. >Barret smiled at his daughter. He'd have to calm her down as they all had >to talk. Surprisingly, despite how dense he was sometimes, Ash was way ahead >of him. GOKU: I get this feeling that the author actually has a strong bit of hate towards everyone. >"Pikachu, do you want to have a bit of fun?" Ash asked his tired mouse >pokemon after the battle with Giovanni. GOKU (Ash/Excel): [thinking] Pikachu->animal->meat... KRILLAN (Pikachu): YAHHHHH!!! GOKU (Same): Come back, meat! Come back! >"Pika! (Sure!)" he said. >Ash released Squirtle and Bulbasaur (he would have released Charmander as >well, but as it was now Charizard, that wasn't an issue, Charizard would >have quickly scared Marlene to death) VEGETA: And the problem with that is? GOKU: We’d have to see Barret act angry again. VEGETA: Case in point. >and they scampered to Marlene. >Pikachu climbed onto Barret's shoulders, Barret confused to what it was, >and then it exchanged a friendly handshake with Marlene. >"Pika! Pika!" he said. >"It said 'Hello Marlene!" said Ling. VEGETA(Pikachu): No I didn’t! I said you will all suffer great agony! >"Aw, how cute! Hello!" Marlene said, shaking the paw of Pikachu. >Pikachu went over and licked Marlene's cheek. KRILLAN (Pikachu): Tasty... >She giggled. >"Bulba!" >"Squirtle!" >They peered down to see the small turtle and grass based pokemon on the floor. GOKU: And then Barret shot them both. >Barret set her down with Pikachu hopping down. >"They said hello as well!" Ash said before Ling could interrupt. >Marlene petted both of them and both pokemon smiled. >"Pika, pikachu, pika, pika, chu?" Pikachu questioned. >"It said do you want to play a game with tag with them outside?" Ling said, >before Ash could. GOKU: And if you look to your left, you’ll see a worthless contest. >It was turning into a contest of wills, and Ling didn't like to lose. >Ash sneered, but smiled at the same time. >"Sure, they are so cute!" Marlene smiled. Barret did and made a reminder to >thank Ash to restoring his childs relief. YAMUCHA: Marlene really liked that Ex-Lax. >"Hey, don't leave Jigglypuff out of it, she's the master!" Misty laughed, >and released Jigglypuff and also Psyduck, hoping perhaps a game of tag could >get some air into its head. GOKU: There is entirely too much air there already. >"Jiggly!" said the cute balloon pokemon as she hopped onto Marlene and >hugged her. Marlene hugged back. >"Awwww......" said most of the members of the group, including Elena and Cid. VEGETA: In the meantime, Reno was vomiting. >Marlene, holding the two main rivals of the tag game (i.e. Jigglypuff and >Pikachu, I like their cute rivalry in the anime, I think it's to see which >one is cuter......) KRILLAN: Do you recall this at any point, Goku? GOKU: No, I think its in the writer’s head. >whilst the rest scampered off, Barret relieved, not only was his daughter >going to have some fun, but she would be safe. He had seen the electric >attacks of the rodent...... YAMUCHA: And Marlene is safe around that thing, how? >"Ash, you are such an amateur, letting them play a stupid game of...." >"SHUT UP GARY!" said Cid, Ash, Brock, Misty, Guile, Jin, Hwoarang and >Barret said together. KRILLAN: Redundancy alert! GOKU: Actually, I think the list was too long to remember that. >He quickly shut up for the rest of the fanfic. (Some hope!) ALL: PLEASE!!! >Even Jessie and James were snickering. >"O.K, now that we're settled.........." Cloud started. ________________________________________________________________________ >The chocobo inn was where the 'meeting' was held. Cloud sat on the table, >Tifa to one side, Barret to the other. On the beds were Jin and Julia, >Hwoarang and Ling, and Ryu and Chun-Li, YAMUCHA: In public!? >with Ken, Gary and Sakura by their feet. Guile said at the far edge >near them, by Vincent, quiet as normal. >Red was just outside so he could see both the meeting and watch Marlene >at the same time. Reeve and Elymra stayed near them as well, Red wished >he was playing sometimes, KRILLAN: Since Reeve creeped him out. >enjoying Pikachu tackle Squirtle friendly. >Yuffie sat by Cloud on Tifa's side, Reno and the Turks sat at the far >back, on Barret's side, were Ash, Misty and Brock, with Cid and reluctantly >Gary on the other exit, along with Jessie, James and Meowth, who was talking >to Cait. GOKU: Wouldn’t that be just a bit crowded? >Yes, it was a tight squeeze, but it was managable. GOKU: Gee, thanks for the response. >"Now, we are all here from different worlds, and are all here to defeat an evil >from their world." Cloud said. >"Yes, we are here to destroy the evil known as Akuma and Bison." said Ryu. >"The Ogre and Heihachi are our worries." Jin said. >"And Giovanni has turned into a nutcase." Jessie said. >"Exactly. But something has driven them here, probably the evil from our world? >It can't be Sephiroth, so it must be......" KRILLAN: Martha Stewart! >Tifa looked at him, realising the strained looks in his eyes. >"No, we killed her......" GOKU: Scarlet? >"Remember what Sephiroth said....." >(flashback) VEGETA: WE REMEMBER THIS! Do they need to remind us of such things? >"F..Fools....My.....mother......had....a.....plan......for.....such.... >occassions...." he said. "Now......people.....as....evil....as....me..... >will soon.....emerge....from......different entrances.....from the.... >Lifestream......." >"Yep, Jenova has brought them here. KRILLAN: Did the flashback end? >She has caused the portals, and brought you, as well as your enemies here >in some sort of burst of energy." >He saw that most of the crowd was blank, not knowing what the hell he was >on about. GOKU: Cloud gets that a lot. YAMUCHA: Must have to do with the dope he takes. >"Oh, I'd better explain Jenova....and Sephiroth....." ALL: NOOOOOOOOO!!!! GOKU: We’re looking at another 3 pages of text, easy. >"Are you O.K?" Tifa said, knowing the subject wasn't a favourite one of Clouds. >"I'll be fine." feeling the strain but continued on. ________________________________________________________________________ >After a while of talking, Cloud had delivered the main principles of Jenova and >Sephiroth in the past, such as that Jenova was an alien, had tremendous power, VEGETA: Like me. >it didn't seem it could die, VEGETA: Like me. >and that she has controlled her 'son' Sephiroth into trying to destroy the world >and find the Promised Land. GOKU: You mean he won’t go into depth about it? (widespread cheering erupts) >He had to mention the subject of Aeris as well, and how she saved this planet. >At this, both Cid and James had to raise an eyelid, both hearing Aeris recently. >James had no idea who she was, VEGETA: So why does the name mean shit to him? >but the voice he had heard was very soothing, and she gave him the power in this >pokeball that he held. >Before either of them could speak, Red started to laugh. YAMUCHA: Cloud didn’t see his pants falling down. >"What's funny Red?" said Cloud, a little agitated. >"Look." he said, smiling. (All turn around) KRILLAN (Red): Made ya look! >Elymra and Reeve were also smiled, as Ryu and Chun-Li, Jin and Julia and Hwoarang >and Ling saw the sight and all smiled and said 'Aww....' YAMUCHA: So we assume everyone else just sat there, and wouldn’t look? >Marlene had been exhausted in the game of tag and she was sleeping on a >comfortable Jigglypuff, who was also fast asleep. Pikachu lying next to it, >tiny sparks coming from its cheeks, GOKU(Marlene): YEOOOWWCHH! >Squirtle passed out with Bulbasaur resting on its shell. Psyduck, next to a >tree was snoring its head off, increasing its headache. >Ash and Misty saw this and had to giggle. >"I guess we'd better round them up." Misty smirked and headed out to return them >so that they could nap in peace. VEGETA: Or rest in peace. >"Anyway....." Cloud said this stuttering. "Recently, I've been getting..... >headaches......" GOKU: Wow, Cloud, I didn’t know you were a Psyduck. >"Oh no, not again!" moaned Barret. KRILLAN: Is this a Tylenol commercial? >"You're not gonna go nuts on us again?" Cid said. YAMUCHA: We can only hope. >"No, it's calling me. It's challenging me. It wants me to come to >the crater, and finish this once and for all. A final battle, to >avenge her 'son.'" he spat out that word. >Vincent mumbled in the corner. "Lucresia....." >Barret nodded. "It wants us to finish this." he said. KRILLAN: As do we. >Cloud looked at everyone. "I think there is something more to this. >The feeling is strong. It's like Jenova is in control of something.... >like it is not even Jenova who is sending this....." GOKU: Then why did you say it was in the first place? >"Did anyone who could have come from the portal have tremendous power, >enough for control of the mind, body or soul?" Cloud said. >Ryu heard that, especially the word soul. It seemed Jin had the same thought. ALL: PARTY!!! >"Akuma." said Ryu. >"Ogre." said Jin. KRILLAN(Ryu): You mind, I was talking. GOKU(Jin): So? I think our evil creature is more dangerous than yours! KRILLAN(Same): Says you! GOKU: I’m already bored of this. >Cloud nodded. "It looks like Jenova has some back up under her control. >And I can sense that they are powerful." he added forlornly. >Jin and Ryu nodded. Ken stood up. >"So, when do we kick their asses?" he said. VEGETA: When hell freezes over. >Cloud smiled. >"As soon as we are all up to it. We all have unique skills, and some new >powers." he glanced at James and Jessie as he said this. >"If we defeat this Jenova, the evil will be destroyed, and you can all go back >home....." Cloud said. GOKU (Cloud): Trust me. I may have no idea what’s going on, but the writer is telling me what to do. >A few gasps and murmurs came out from everyone's mouth. >But not all were positive..... ________________________________________________________________________ >"Jessie?" >"Yeah, James...." GOKU: Why is the sky blue? >"I don't want to go back." James said. >Jessie looked like she had swallowed a bug and choked on it. >"WHAT?" she said. James seemed to expect this so he calmly spoke away. >"Think about it Jess. We are outlaws, but we have been 'terminated' from >Team Rocket. KRILLAN(James): Giovanni said, ‘Hasta la vista, baby’. >Yet, we will only be known as outlaws. Our lives will be hell, my only >option would be to return to my family, and Jessiebell will hound me for >ever." Jamed looked down, stroking his ALL: @_@ >Growlithe, Growly. ALL: Whew… >"And what about you? Where will you go when we return? You told me that your family >were poor and your father....." >"Please don't get into that." Jessie said, biting her tongue. >"Here, is a new life. No-one knows what we do or where we came from. We won't live >like trolls. YAMUCHA: So they lived under a bridge? KRILLAN: Their trouble started when they picked a fight with some billy goats. GOKU: They were very gruff. >See this?" He held up the pokeball. >"That girl, Aeris, I think, had whispered into my ears somehow many times >already, and I think it is her power which is allowing me to use this >pokeball. This way, we could teach people to use pokemon here, and make >our earnings that way, open a school, GOKU: Fix the Chocobo races. >live properly instead of outlaws. Look around." >Jessie did, an area of country and beauty. >"There are no pokemon here we can steal. However, we have them all here, plus our >imagination, to keep us going." >He grabbed her hand. KRILLAN: And Irish whipped her into the ropes! >"But I can't do this alone....." he said softly. >Jessie stopped and caught her breath. James hadn't looked at her that fondly >since he returned from teaching Jessiebell a lesson in freedom. >Jessie and James had been friends since Pokemon Tech. Neither could leave each >other........ VEGETA: This guy must be repressed to write this much. >Jessie nodded. >"I'll do what it takes." she smiled. >James smiled back. >They turned to see Meowth snoring, dreaming about Cassandra probably. >"Now, how are we gonna tell him?" GOKU: How about like this? ‘Hey, you lousy cat! We decided we’re sick of that crap hole we live in. If you want to argue, I’ll stomp a mudhole in your ass and’....... No wait, that’s Stone Cold Steve Austin. ________________________________________________________________________ >At the crater....... >Jenova's message had been replayed hrough Akuma and Ogre's sick minds and via her >control, and they had relayed it to Cloud. >Jenova smiled (if it could). GOKU: Well Seph ripped her head off, that might make it tough. >Everything was going according to plan. KRILLAN: Sadly, she didn’t notice that she was reading Cloud’s plans. >Her battle plan was simple. Her power would strength her warriors, being >Ogre, Bison, Akuma, Heihachi, YAMUCHA: Gilligan, the Skipper.... >Sagat and Giovanni, and they would crush them. KRILLAN: WHO will crush WHO? YAMUCHA: Maybe Jenova doesn’t know. But this way, it can claim it was right either way. >However, she knew if she got destroyed, so would their power, so she was gonna >play a back wall to the action. >Her tentacles wrapped in a delicious feeling of irony. YAMUCHA: Ewwww.... >The power of her 'son' was huge, the power of many 'sons' would destroy >those petty humans away, and the world would be hers. >Not only that, but other worlds would be as well. Her spawn would infect >the other worlds from those portals, and quickly destroy them all. GOKU: Oh wait, that's Lavos. Sorry, our mistake. >All they had to do was destroy these gnats...... >But as Sephiroth and previous Jenovas had found out, GOKU: PREVIOUS? I think the author was confused by the many times you fought Jenova. >that was no easy task........... ________________________________________________________________________ >Jin and Julia walked outside, hand in hand, looking at the scenary. VEGETA: Indignity number two, coming up. >"It's beautiful, reminds me of the mountains back in our land." KRILLAN: So you have giant monsters roaming the landscape back home, too? >Julia said, sighing. She missed home and her mother, Michelle. >Jin put an arm around her. >"We'll get her back for you. I'll destroy the Ogre and my grandfather.... >I can't believe he had been scheming all these years....." he said, angry >for not realising it. GOKU: Awww, don’t feel bad Jin. YAMUCHA: It’s just that you have the IQ of cement. >Julia held him worriedly. "Oh, Jin, don't torture yourself! KRILLAN: He doesn’t have to. People are lining up around the block for the chance. >Your grandfather has hurt a lot of people in his long life. It is time we >ended it...." she said, angrily, holding up her pendant. >"I'll destroy the Ogre. You take out your grandfather." she said angrily. >"Julia, no, you'll get killed!" she said. YAMUCHA: Arguing among your multiple personalities, again, eh Julia? >"This is something that my tribe would want me to do, and something I will >do. Our revenge will be complete, as will Hwoarang's........how come you two >didn't kill each other....." GOKU (Jin): Some stupid kid got in the way. >Jin smirked. "I don't know, I guess he's O.K really, since he and Ling have got >together, I think he's.....changed." VEGETA (Jin): ...his underwear. >Julia held him close. "What about you?" >"Huh?" Jin said. >"Have you changed?" she said. YAMUCHA (Jin): Just a second. [sniffing] Nope! >"What do you mean?" Jin said as his strong arms encircled her waist. >"Your image. Discarded the grandfather image and finally escaped his clutches....." >"Sure." he said quietly as he carassed her hair. >"Jin...." >"Julia....." >They kissed each other passionately, realising that tomorrow they had a >battle ahead of them which neither may get through alive. YAMUCHA: So score now. Very important. >"I love you, Julia Chang." Jin said as he released her. >"And I love you too, Jin Kazama." she said, realising that both of them had to >say it, as it may be the last time they saw each other and get an opportunity. >Jin kissed her again, on the lips, cheek and neck and held her close as they >hugged each other on the grass, KRILLAN: Weren’t they walking? >as warm as two lovers could be.......... ________________________________________________________________________ >Hwoarang and Ling had sat by each other as the sun started to dip. VEGETA: * sigh* Three… He’s gonna get them all, isn’t he? >Ling was talking excitedly about everything that had happened, whilst >Hwoarang was politely nodded, 'hearing' everything she was saying. >When she finally realised he was ignoring her, she promptly shoved his >on his ass. VEGETA: Best thing done yet. >Hwoarang smiled and quickly tackled her. >Holding her on the ground and around the waist, a cute smile appeared on >both of their faces. They quickly kissed on the floor, their softness >enrapturing them in the moment. VEGETA: Ughh… Well at least they aren’t talking too. >Ling was 100% fit from the injuries in the battle thanks to rest and cure >materia, but she was tired. Without realising it, she fell asleep in Hwoarang's >arms. GOKU: What didn’t she notice? Sleeping or Hwoarang? >Hwoarang felt her snoring quietly. He smiled as he kissed her on the cheek and >held her warm body as he lifted her up and cradled it. As the inn didn't have >enough accommodation for everyone, some were going to rest in the stables >(cleaned out of course) KRILLAN: I don’t see why. >whilst some were gonna sleep outside. The Tekken fighters and the Pokemon >people were the ones who would sleep outside, as both were surprisingly >used to it, usually in martial arts training, one had to be alert at every >sound that happened, so sleeping outside was one thing that Baek had taught >Hwoarang, as did Jun with Jin, Michelle with Julia and Wang with Ling. YAMUCHA: ‘WANG’? KRILLAN: THERE’S a nice name to have. >Hwoarang had borrowed some spare blankets and wrapped them around Ling. KRILLAN: ‘Borrowed’? GOKU: Right now Gary is freezing to death. VEGETA: All is as it should be. >He would be alright as he kissed her again on the cheek before sitting >beside her waiting for sleep to overcome him. They would be up early so >they had to get an early sleep. Watching the sun go down as moon light >glowed around Ling, Hwoarang wondered which was more beautiful......... YAMUCHA: He decided on himself. ________________________________________________________________________ >Chun-Li had said goodnight to Sakura as she was one of the lucky ones who got an inn bed. VEGETA: Well, she isn’t planning to share it with anyone. YAMUCHA: Maybe Yuffie? [Others hit him] OWWW! What? They seemed to be good friends, I was suggesting something like a sleepover. GOKU: That’s not what you were saying and you know it. >Chun was wondering where Ken and Ryu were as well as Guile, her partner, and >remembered that Guile volunteered to sleep outside and Ken and Ryu were in the >stables. KRILLAN: That must disturb Hwoarang. >Chun was gonna keep watch with Guile, taking sleep shifts. >Chun didn't see Guile anywhere as the first signs of darkness was shown. >Ken was presumbly sleeping, he was a heavy sleeper, VEGETA: And a light thinker. >but she spotted a lone figure practising some kata. >No doubt, only Ryu would do this. GOKU: When she got there, she was shocked to see Palmer. VEGETA: If that lard ass shows up, I'm leaving. KRILLAN: It would fit the pattern though. >She skipped across to see the young martial artist. >Ryu was practicising to finess his skills a little bit more for the battle >the next day. He knew he would be facing Akuma, Sagat and Bison, along with >the legend Heihachi tomorrow, with power more incredible than he had seen with >Giovanni. Ryu had to be ready. VEGETA: He wanted to die in very good shape. >Unfortunately(or rather fortunately), a pleasant distraction had come his way. >"Ryu....." >Ryu turned to see Chun-Li heading towards him. KRILLAN: She didn’t say that too loud. How far away is she? >"Hi, Chun." he said simply, but was smiling, remembering holding her in his >arms after the submarine. >"Thanks for getting me wet!" Chun smirked, remembering the sub incident >as well. YAMUCHA: [biting lip] I must not say anything. This isn’t a lemon... >"Well, er....I was just happy to see you!" he said. YAMUCHA: Nooooo... I can’t... I hate all these comments. >"Happy you?" she said. >"And whats wrong with that?" Ryu said in an 'accusing' tone. >"Well, er...erm...oh, er, ah..." Chun stammered. KRILLAN: How articulate… >"It's alright. I know I seem cold, but I've detached myself from that >aura. I'm just happy to see my two good friends O.K!" he said. YAMUCHA: IF I CAN’T MAKE ANY JOKES KILL ME NOW!!! VEGETA: Really!!? YAMUCHA: NO!!!!! >"Good friend?" Chun said. >"Yeah. Since the first day I met you, I thought you were an incredible >person. You and Sakura tried to straighten me out with arguments, smiles >and kicking the crap out of Ken. GOKU: That would make her my friend too. >And to credit, it worked. But there was one thing which I didn't get out of >my system, that is, until I met you......." he said. YAMUCHA: [sobbing] This is a dream for riffing, and I can’t do a thing... >"Oh...." Chun said, interested and a bit embarassed. >"Yeah. Until I met you, I had never cared for anyone deeply, to fill a hole >in my YAMUCHA: In my.....HEAD!!! I bet you guys weren’t expecting me to say that! GOKU: Actually, no. Nice restraint. >heart. Sakura had tried, she is a sweet girl, but despite only a few >years younger than me, that does worry me a bit, she's 16, I'm over 20, >it does worry me a bit." >"She is a bit too....er...chatty...as well. It makes me smile, but not enough >to love. But you....." he said. >Chun-Li gulped. She had realised what was going to happen. KRILLAN (Chun): He’s gonna dump me!! >"I don't know what you think, and I will understand, but I have to get this >off my chest. Otherwise, I'll go crazy, and I don't know whether I'll get >another chance to say this." Ryu said. >He grabbed her hands gently. >"Chun-Li Zang, I love you." he said, bowing down. >ALL: Hai!! >He released her hands and started to walk away. >That is, until a pair of hands grabbed him and turned him around. GOKU: The fact that the hands belonged to Cid really disturbed him. >"What the...." he started until Chun-Li Hugged him tightly and put her lips >tightly against his. >Ryu's eyes opened in shock but then relaxed and began kissing her back >passionately, as he held her. The warmth of each other was enrapturing them >in the moment, and neither one wanted to let go. >The sweet kiss carried on for a while before Chun-Li finally pulled away. KRILLAN: She needed to get some mouth wash. >"Mmmm....that was nice. You ever kissed a girl?" she said. >"No, not like that." Ryu said smiling. >"Well, I'm impressed. Lets try again." she said. >And with that, they kissed again, even more passionately, that it looked >like Ryu would melt, GOKU: Aw jeez, someone get a mop! >heat was coming around him, as they lost themselves in their love. >When Chun released this time, she said. "I love you Ryu Hoiji, I've always >love you, and I will probably always will." VEGETA: I feel nauseous. This is the sappiest yet. >Ryu smiled. "Good." >"Grrr...." she said and hit him on the head, as Ryu pulled himself on top >of her YAMUCHA: Whoa… >and kissed her again. >And from opposite ends of the farm, two people were looking on in emotion. Ken >Masters was looking at his best friend, finally hooking up with a girl, and >a damn beautiful one as well. YAMUCHA: He wanted in! >If he weren't married to a beautiful wife either, Ken would have been jealous. >But no. He wanted to get off this planet so that he could see his wife and >son again, but at least this planet had brought two of his friends closer together. >From the other end, Sakura was watching. KRILLAN: And eating popcorn. >Most people thought she had a crush on Ryu, which was true, but only a >schoolgirl crush. Truth be told, Sakura thought she never had a chance, she >was just glad he was paying attention to her. But now, her best female friend, >Chun-Li had gotten herself together with her best male friend, Ryu. And despite >whatever people may think about her, she was happy. >Both characters smiling away as they returned to rest, GOKU: Yeah, they’re both characters. >letting Chun-Li and Ryu be content for one night....... _____________________________________________________________________ >People were at first surprised when the youngest members of the party, Ash, >Misty and Brock wanted to camp outside because of the lack of space, but >they said think nothing of it, they had done it so many times before, it >was like a habit for them. GOKU: No matter how many times you sleep outside, I doubt you ever get used to it. >They like to breathe in the cool night air to help them sleep, well, except >when it was raining of course. >Brock's Vul....I mean Ninetales (great, even I'm getting confused) KRILLAN: Even? EVEN!? He knows that this fic is incoherent and he keeps writing? VEGETA: I need to find out where this guy is. YAMUCHA: It might be easier for him if he stopped swapping the characters around. >had made a nice fire for them to warm by before getting ready for sleep. Brock petted the Ninetales contently as it made sounds similar to purring, GOKU: (Belches) KRILLAN: Ummmmmm....no. >as it fell to sleep. Misty had been holding Togepi and Jigglypuff as they >started to vie for Misty's attention, both getting plenty and yet still >like to conflict (I guess Jigglypuff likes confrontations). GOKU: No, it likes singing and vandalizing people. >Misty returned Jigglypuff to its pokeball so that Togepi could rest. The >baby pokemon had to sleep a lot. It enjoyed Pikachu snuggling by it, as >long as it didn't turn into fry egg. YAMUCHA: *BZZZZAP*! Well, at least they don’t have to worry about breakfast. >Ash had been thinking a lot recently. The bike he had got he hadn't told >Misty. He decided it wouldn't be right to give her hopes up as they may >never see light of day again. KRILLAN: That’s funny, I thought they were going to go in the morning. GOKU: Maybe it’ll be real cloudy. >These last few moments he wanted to keep with his friends without spoiling >anything....even if it meant giving up a possible happiness. >As the last of the sun light poured onto the land, he felt the fire of >Ninetales starting to blow out as Ninetales fell to sleep. Brock had his >eyes slightly open KRILLAN: He was hoping to see something interesting. GOKU: Oh come on, his eyes are NEVER open. >whilst Misty was still wide awake, checking on Togepi. >Ash sighed at the red-head. Misty noticed this. >"Ash, whats wrong?" she said. VEGETA(Ash): I just noticed how gut wrenchingly ugly you were. YAMUCHA: This one will have to be the worst by far. >"Oh, nothing........Misty, I'd just like to say something." she said. GOKU: Boy, a lot of people here talk to themselves. >"Yeah?" she said turning, pretending not to be interested, when in fact, she >was blushing and avoiding seeing his face. >"I want to say to you, that despite all our arguments in the last year, I've >really enjoyed having your company. I would say you have been my best friend >in the last year." Ash said. >"Pika?" A quiet voice said. VEGETA (Pikachu): Ungrateful bastard! DIEEE!!!! >Ash smiled and stroked Pikachu on the head. "Best human friend!" GOKU: Then Brock starts complaining. >"Chu!" it finished and went back to sleep. >"Well Ash.....I....I...don't know what to do. I've enjoyed your company as >well, and you've been my best friend too!" she said, smiling at her. YAMUCHA: Is there something about Ash we don’t know? GOKU: Maybe she’s looking in a mirror. VEGETA: Nah. It would have broken. >She and Ash exchanged a hug. Ash held it on as long as he could, and >both were surprisingly reluctant to let go. >Ash decided he couldn't hold it in any longer. "Misty I....." KRILLAN (Ash): Am running away with Brock. YAMUCHA: Not even I would say that! KRILLAN: It’s to put bad images in your head. >Misty had fell in her sleeping bag, overcome by sleep. GOKU (Ash): D’oh! >Well, almost. >Ash felt a bit sleeply as well as he yawned. "Good night Brock, good >night Pikachu...good night Misty, see you in the morning." KRILLAN: Togepi will brain him in the night for ignoring it. >Misty replied as Brock was fast asleep. "Good night Ash." And whispered >"Sweet dreams" >Misty didn't know what to do. She wouldn't be able to sleep for thinking >about her friend and the feelings she had for him. >She looked upon one of her romance novels. GOKU: She’s a little young for those! >She read up to a page where a lovesong had been written for one of the >main characters. VEGETA: No.... >Misty, a good singer, VEGETA: So help me, if he does... >decided to put the words into a soothing song, VEGETA: YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!! >to try and contrast these feelings she had for the young Pokemon Master. >[song begins: Misty's Song from Pokemon CD: GOKU: Well, at least he isn’t trying to make one up. >All rights are from them, I do not intend to profit from this] KRILLAN: Believe me, you won’t. >"Out here in the quiet of the night >Beneath the stars and the moon YAMUCHA: This is so beautiful. OTHERS: SHUT UP!! YAMUCHA: Funny, I feel like Gary suddenly. GOKU: That reminds me, no one has said where Gary is. KRILLAN: Maybe Charizard ate him. >We both know we've got something on our minds YAMUCHA: Oh yeah... >We won't admit but it's true" >"You look at me, I look away" >(Chorus) GOKU: Oh brother.... >"I wanna' tell you what I'm feeling, but I >don't know how to start >I wanna' tell you but now I'm afraid that >you might break my heart KRILLAN (Misty): Am I hearing backup singers? >Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do? >I wanna' tell you what I'm feeling, and to >say that, I love you" VEGETA: This is something I can never forgive. >"I practice all the things that I could say, >Line by line, every word >I tell myself today could be the day, >But everytime, I lose my nerve" >"I look at you, you look away" >REPEAT CHORUS ALL: [begin laughing] GOKU: Are we supposed to believe she said THAT? [breaks down again] >"Why, do you turn away YAMUCHA (Ash): You give me a nauseous feeling. >It must be, you're afraid like me >I try, but I can't pretend that I >Don't feel for you the way I do >Can't you see " >REPEAT CHORUS GOKU: That settles it. This guy just copied and pasted. >Ash then stirred. Misty held her breath. >Sleeply, Ash said "Did you say something Misty?" KRILLAN (Misty): You mean I composed and sang that WHOLE song, and you weren’t even LISTENING!!!! >Misty nervously replied back. "Me? No, nothing. I didn't say anything >Ash." And whispered "Good night." >Misty knew now she wasn't going to get much sleep tonight. YAMUCHA: There’s a reason for that, but they’re kids, so I won’t say it. _____________________________________________________________________ >Tifa had sat on a rock GOKU: So why is she on Cloud? >watching the view overhead of the stars, on the blanket known as >the sky. It was always beautiful to watch the sky at night, but for someone >watching her, no star shown as bright as the one on the ground. >Cloud decided now or never. Aeris would have wanted him to get on with >his life. YAMUCHA (Aeris): What the hell are you thinking? I want you to pine over me for eternity!! >It was time. >He was nervous though how she would react. They had been childhood friends for many years, but did she feel the same way? There was a difference between friendship and love. GOKU: Gee Cloud, how long did it take you to figure that one out? >Well, if he was going to find out, he'd better do it now. He may never >have another chance. >He walked up to her. >"Teef, you alright?" he said, then noticed she was shivering. >GOKU: The thought of Cloud made her nauseous. >"Tifa, you're cold!" And put a blanket he was saving for himself around her. >"It's fine Cloud, really...." she said. >"Miss Tifa Lockheart, you will freeze out there if you don't do what you're >told!" Cloud said, in his best imitation of an old teacher's voice. KRILLAN: Now he will give her a grade on figure. YAMUCHA: A+ all the way! >Tifa tried her best to grimace, but burst out laughing. Cloud smiled at her >and took a bow. "I'm too much!" he said. VEGETA: You’re telling me! >"Yeah, but too much of what?" Tifa retaliated. Cloud scowled. VEGETA: What do you think? >Then Cloud remembered the reason why he was here. Slowly, he cleared >his throat. >"Tifa Lockheart....." he started solemly, and Tifa knew this pose as >Cloud being extremely serious. GOKU: No, his arm is in the wrong spot. This is Cloud drunk. >"....since the day we met as kids, I've wanted to know you. But things got >in our ways, and we could never be true friends. Then one day, I told you >I wanted to go to SOLDIER, and be like Sephiroth. But my dream was failed. KRILLAN: The creative writing teacher said it was too trite. >However, since then, I have grown, and defeated Sephiroth on more than >one occassion, and I thought we were free." >"But now, there is another evil. One more powerful than the last. I don't >know if we are going to survive Tifa Lockheart, YAMUCHA: I think it would be hard to survive Tifa. >but if I don't get another chance to say this, I will die." >Cloud wiped his eyes as his face was on the floor. VEGETA: That’s right! Grovel like the dog you are! >He looked up in her eyes. >"Tifa Lockheart.....I....." >He stared directly in his eyes, and Tifa would remember this moment for ever. VEGETA: Until the rock hit her on the head. >"I........love....you....." >Tifa stopped in shock. Her crush, her childhood love, was admitting feelings >for her. GOKU: Oh, and Cloud was saying something on the ground. KRILLAN: I am sick of this joke. >Was this a dream? Pinch her? >She pinched. It hurt. She was awake. >This was a dream all right......a dream come true..... YAMUCHA: More of a nightmare. >"Oh Cloud....." Tifa's tears flowed through her face. At first Cloud was >worried about what he said via the tears, but a closer look of her face, didn't >show one of sadness. Far from it. VEGETA: Disgust was a better way to put it. >It showed one of happiness. ALL: In a pig’s eye! >"Oh, Cloud Strife, I love you too! I loved you since we were kids! And I >will always love you!" she said, smiling and crying. >Cloud had to sniffle a bit as well as Tifa squeezed him in a giant hug. The >tears flowing more freely now. GOKU: He was being squeezed like a big sponge. >Cloud knew he wouldn't have a better chance. >He kissed her tenderly on the lips. Tifa returned the kiss with force. >Tommorrow, they venture into the northern crater. YAMUCHA: Today they go south, if you catch my drift. >Warriors from different worlds, unified to defeat a common goal, evil. >But for one night, all was well with the world. _____________________________________________________________________ >That was a tad sappy, VEGETA: No shit. >but I like romantic stuff, KRILLAN: You alone, pal. >so I wrapped it up with all loose threads finished. Didn't I? GOKU: Nope, you missed Cid and Shera, Reno and Elena, Cait Sith and Barret... YAMUCHA: I must now erase that last image from my mind forever. >NOTE: I put in Misty's song from the CD because I thought it was appropriate. GOKU: Well it wasn’t. >I am not, repeat NOT trying to rip off material. That song is directly in >link with whoever wrote it, and I am definetly not trying to make money from it. KRILLAN: Does anyone know how to get money from a fanfic? YAMUCHA: Get people to pay you not to post it. >Right, all clear? Good, the climatic finale is coming up, with two chapters >left and a epilogue. .Thanks for reading, everyone! GOKU: Should we leave? KRILLAN: No, we’re at the end now, so let’s just get through it. *FWISH* Author’s notes: That was an ugly part. Putting that many romances in a row never works. Well, in the next part, the end will come. Now that the worst is behind him, Vegeta will offer more support. Let’s hope for the best for them all!! It's the home stretch! >"What? What the hell happened?" Elena said. >(Reno): "You've been asleep for the last 20 years trying to evolve from an >ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. Hasn't worked though....."
