Peace Can't Last
Forever ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Sir, we have arrived at Chikyuu-sei on schedule." "Good. Is your team ready, Lieutenant?" "Hai." "Excellent. You know what to do." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Trunks-kun!!!" Laura's piercing shriek echoed through the courtyard. Shaking the sand from her blond hair, the little girl glared darkly at her lavender-haired playmate. "I'm gonna get you for that!" Dumping water was one thing but sand . . . "Whatcha gonna do about it, huh?" he taunted, sneering just like his father. Laura grinned evilly, idly swinging a bucket of sand. "Oh nothing," she replied before phasing out of sight. Before Trunks had a chance to turn around Laura dumped the entire bucket down his shorts. "LAURA!!" he yowled, trying desperately to shake the sand out before it got somewhere "uncomfortable". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From her vantage, Jianu observed the whole scene, sniggering at the pair. "He's never gonna learn is he?" Marion asked, partly closing her English book. "You can't do those kind of things to a girl and not expect retaliation." "Especially from my baby sister." Jianu agreed. "On a completely different subject, is it time for us to turn yet?" Setting her own book down, Jianu reached down and picked up her watch, "Nope, we've got another 5 minutes." The blue-haired senshi yawned and stretched, dropping her textbook to the ground. "Well then, I'm gonna take a break." "I think I'll join you," Jianu said, stretching as well. The two girls had decided to kill 3 birds with one stone by going outside today. This way they could watch the chibis, do their homework, and get in some tanning. Of course, they *would* have to be tanning in bikinis that set off their eyes and hair perfectly, Jianu's being a vibrant shade of emerald green and Marion's a soft lemon yellow. Their attire did not go unnoticed by the male Guardians, to be quite honest, it was playing complete havoc on their fifteen year-old systems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miraku slapped the side of his face then checked to see if his nose was bleeding. It wasn't. "Thank Kami," he breathed, turning to see the others doing the same. "Kami, I swear if they don't stop doing that I'm going to pass out," Akira muttered, leaning back against the tree the boys were studying under. "Same here," Sean agreed. "Don't they realize what they're doing to us?!" Chujitsu moaned plaintively, smacking his forehead against his textbook. "If they do, then they're doing an awful good job of hiding it," Takeshi said. "Green really does suit her . . ." "Nandato**, Miraku?" Akira asked him. The raven haired teenager jumped in surprise, 'Shimatta***! Did I just say that outloud?!' "Nani?" "You know what. You've got a thing for Jianu, ne?" "I do not!! We fight all the time! How could I possibly have a *thing* for her?!" The other four male Guardians looked over to where their two female teammates were sunbathing. "Easy." Miraku's cheeks flushed and he prepared a retort when suddenly he picked up several high level kis heading their way fast. "Takeshi, you know anything about this?" Sean asked, pushing his orange hair from his eyes. "Iie, and that bothers me," the green haired senshi replied. Staring into the horizon the young warriors awaited their unseen foe. A shuttle craft burst into view with a roar and landed with impressive accuracy in the center of Capsule Corps tremendous courtyard. "Go inside chibis," Jianu told Trunks and Laura who had run over to her and Marion. "Why?!" they whined in unison. "It could be dangerous," Marion answered, her eyes never leaving the ship. "But we wanna help!" "Yeah, let us fight too!" "IIE!!!" Jianu snapped. "I will not put you two in danger, now go inside!" "How very touching, but we have no interest in the children." Jianu whirled and was greeted to the sight of about twenty alien soldiers. Many of which were openly ogling the two teenage girls. The strawberry blond senshi had to repress a shiver, the one who had spoke bore an all-too strong resemblance to the long-dead Zarbon. Green hair, blue-skin, amber eyes, even his armor was similar! "Who are you?!" she demanded. The man smiled and bowed to them, "How rude of me. My name is Lieutenant Kurage*^ and I am here on behalf of Lord Funanori. Who might you be?" "We are the Dragonball Guardians," Akira answered, he and the other male Guardians having joined the girls. "Is your business here peaceful? And how did you get so close before we could sense you?" Kurage smirked, "The answer to your second question is simple really. We have a shield that extends 100 yards from our ship, capable of blocking both mechanical and psychic sensors." "Cool," the Guardians said in unison. "And your purpose here?" Marion prodded, sneering at the ogling soldiers. "It's nothing much, we're here to remove two aliens from your planet." The Guardians stared at him, showing no reaction whatsoever, Kurage assumed they were merely shocked, but in fact they were communicating. ~Remove?! How stupid does he think we are?~ ~He's gotta be after Vegeta and Goku.~ ~We have to be sure of that before we attack. Don't want ta accidentally start an interstellar war.~ ~Good point.~ "So why come here?" Akira asked aloud. "You were the highest concentration of battle powers on the whole planet. We figured that such a large group of warriors would have attracted the attention of the saiya-jin." "Saiya-jin? Is that what you're after then?" Jianu asked, putting on her best "cute and confused look". 'I *knew* it!' she thought triumphantly. 'But if he thinks I'm letting them near *my* best friends, he's got another thing coming.' Pleased by their apparent cooperation, Kurage elaborated, "Hai. They are ruthless, brutal killers. A danger to every civilized race in the galaxy. You would be doing the entire universe a favor if you could lead us to them." "What exactly does a saiya-jin look like?" Miraku stalled for time, while Chujitsu tried to herd the chibis inside. Opening his mouth to answer, Kurage was interrupted by one of his men. "Pardon me, Lieutenant, but the bio scans indicate that the lavender-haired child is half saiya-jin." "Just as I thought." Smiling evilly, Kurage turned back to face the Guardians who had formed a ring around the two children. "Very clever of you, feigning ignorance. But a useless gesture nonetheless," the lieutenants tone grew menacing. "Now, hand over the boy and I *might* let you live." Not even having to think about it the seven young warriors responded as one. "Fuck you," they stated calmly, raising their middle fingers for emphasis. The only indication that they'd fazed Kurage at all was the sudden development of a tic under his left eye. "Fine, Have it your way. Kill them all, but bring the saiya-jin brat to me!!" he finished with a roar. "Hai!" his men saluted then charged the Guardians. "Sean, Chujitsu watch the chibis! The rest of you tatsugeki*^^!!" Akira yelled and the five teenagers met the soldiers head-on. Jianu grinned savagely as she tore into the unfortunate soldiers. A simple well-placed kick or punch to her opponents and he/she failed to rise again. "Hyper Iishin!" Jianu looked up in time to see Akira's signature attack zig-zag through the chests of eight of Kurage's men. "Looks like you're out of soldiers," she taunted, carelessly tossing a ki blast over her shoulder to finish off the man charging her back. "I-impossible!!" Kurage's voice shook with rage. "How could mere humans defeat my soldiers!" "You underestimated us. That was your mistake," Marion stated flatly. Kurage glared at the young warriors hatefully, he would make them pay for this insult! His amber eyes flashed dangerously, "I will not be defeated by children!!!" Tossing his head back he shouted in rage, his power rising rapidly. The Guardians watched in shock as he transformed into a monster-like form with a ki nearly as high as a super saiya-jin. "Now chikyuu-jin, you die." Jianu dropped into a fighting stance in front of him, "I don't think so." He laughed darkly, not noticing the other Guardians moving away, "You really think you stand a chance?" She smirked, "Of course." Screaming, Jianu began to power-up, her strawberry-blond hair floating around her. Suddenly her ki spiked and her hair turned purple while her eyes faded to ice-blue. Kurage was surprised, but not impressed, "So Chikyuu-jin can transform too? Interesting, but it won't be enough!" he roared, charging the bikini-clad warrior. Jianu jumped lightly to the side and cuffed Kurage on the back of his neck as he flew by. The blue-skinned warrior went crashing into the ground, tearing up the turf with his face. Getting up he turned to face her, his features twisted in a mix of hatred and disbelief, "Bitch." The purple haired teenager winked saucily and flashed him a peace sign, "I know." With a shout of pure rage, Kurage charged her again and the two clashed in a flurry of fists and feet. A bright flash of light and what sounded like a clap of thunder and Kurage was retreating into the air. "Let's see how you like this!!" The enraged warrior fired a barrage of ki blasts down at the teenager. Jianu lifted a delicate eyebrow and raised her ki, expanding it into a shield around herself. Exhausted but certain of his triumph, Kurage floated down to gloat, "Not bad Chikyuu-jin," he panted, "but you're *nothing* compared to me." "Oh really?" Kurage's smug grin faded into a look of horror as he made out Jianu's silhouette through the dust. "I'll give you one chance. Leave now and I won't kill you." The green haired lieutenant clenched his fists, "Y-you expect a warrior of *my* caliber to run from a mere child?! Never!!" Kurage jumped back and pushed all his remaining strength into one last-ditch attack. "I *WILL* KILL YOU!!!" Not one to waste time, Jianu cupped her hands to her side, "Ka . . . me . . . ha . . . me . . . ." Kurage threw his energy sphere, "DIE BITCH!!!!" "HA!!!" Jianu thrust her hands forward and let her ki fly. Her Kamehameha easily absorbing his attack as it lanced across the grounds heading unerringly towards Kurage. Sean and Chujitsu covered the chibis' eyes and ears as the blue beam engulfed the lieutenant, leaving nothing in its wake. Shaking her head sadly, Jianu powered down. Turning round she spotted Akira and Takeshi exiting the shuttle. "All clear?" ""Yeah we . . ." "BRATS!!!" Nine figures jumped at once at Vegeta's roar. "Papa!" Trunks yelled, running over to the stern saiya-jin prince followed closely by Laura. "Uncle Vegeta!" she chirped happily, forcing the ouji to supress a smile. After assuring himself that the chibis were unharmed, he glared at the Guardians. "What happened here?" he demanded, narrowing his eyes at the young warriors. "You're not gonna like it." Jianu locked eyes with him, "It looks like our days of peace are over."
