| This story happens before the high school scene in "the power of friendship." Love gives strength By: Balnok "Ahh, that feels good," Tara said, Balnok was standing over her, giving her a massage. They had just finished training and were a little sore. "That glove of Goshen�s really packs a "punch." She said jokingly. "Oh, that�s OK, I like this anyway." Balnok said, still rubbing her back. He rubbed his hand over a small mark on her arm. It looked like a mosquito bite, he continued on. "OHH," She moaned as he hit her sore spot. "OOPS, sorry," Balnok said. He felt a little tickle on his chest, then it started down, trying to get into his pants. He looked down and saw a long, silver, wolf tail going in his shirt. "Stop that," he said, giggling. "No, no, not th�ha ha ha ha," she hit his ticklish spot and made him fall over on top of her. She flipped around and stared into his eyes. Her eyes were silver and looked like a wolf�s eyes. He kissed her, then pulled back, out of breath. "Aishiteru (that�s "I love you" in Japanese, I believe) Tara," Balnok finally got out. "Aishiteru, My little wolfy. When are we going to the Romeo and Juliet play with Goshen and Mara?" She Asked. "DAHH," Balnok felt a twinge of pain in the back of his head. Then it disappeared and he heard a voice in his head, it was Gohan. "Fayaman, I need you here, quick. Someone that calls himself Kore is attacking the city. I�ll need all the help I can get." "All right," he said back. Tara had tapped in and heard what was said. They pressed a button on their belts and their sayacrew suits came on. Balnok and Tara got Goshen and Mara and went to Gohan just in time to see a big blue person, attacking a boy, in a green and black suit with gold hair, and a woman wearing a pink and blue suit. "Gohan, Videl," Balnok yelled after the fighting paused. They got to them and got in battle stance. Kore charged them but was blasted back. "DAD, MOM," they heard behind them. Pan flew up and greeted them. Mara and Tara greeted their guardian with a hug. "What do we have here," Kore said, getting up. "That was a cheap hit little girl. Now come on, lets try that again." They all flew into the air and powered up. "Did you say his name was Kore?" Mara asked Gohan. "Yes," he said in reply, "why? Mara looked at Tara who caught her stair. "He killed our real parents, and destroyed the planet we lived on." Tara spoke out load. "Do you remember this?" her and Mara pulled their sleeves up and showed him their mosquito bite-like marks, Mara had one on her arm to. "Ah, the mark I placed on all females that would help raise my children." Kore said quickly. "We will never forgive you for what you did. Come on guys." They all charged him, he was strong, and fast. He was dodging their hits and pounding them down. Pan stood up and looked at him. "DOUBLE ENERGY BALL," she yelled. Two energy balls formed in her hands. She threw them at him and followed by charging at him wit him uppercut. He dodged the blasts and caught Pan. He held his hand out and charged a blast, right at her face. "No, not again, NOOO," both Tara and Mara started glowing, but nothing happened yet. "Ha, ha," Kore laughed. He blasted Pan in the face and dropped her to the ground. Then charged another blast to finish her. That did it. Tara�s energy level rocketed. Silver flames flew around her and her hair went silver also. Her hair looked like Trunks� hair while he is in super Saya �jin, but still in odangos. Mara Glowed gold and her hair was pretty much the same color, but started to rise. "FLA�ME�HA�ME�HA," Tara shouted as the blast leapt out towards Kore. It hit him and knocked him away before he could do any more damage to Pan. It was not enough though. He flew over and punched Tara hard in the chest, then kicked her like a football. "MASENKO," Mara yelled, a yellow beam of energy flying from her hands. He turned in her direction but felt shock on his back. He turned and saw Balnok standing behind him. Balnok took a quick slash but Kore moved to fast. He spiked Balnok to the ground with one hard swing. Goshen was on him. The gems on his gloves beating into the monsters tough skin. He kicked Kore away. "KA�ME�HA�ME�HA," Gohan�s blast went straight at the thing. They could not believe it, he was still alive. It beat Goshen hard. Blood was coming out of his mouth from the beating. Balnok was paralyzed from the hit to his spine. He could not do anything but watch. Finally he let Goshen go. He fell to the ground with a sickening thud. "I can�t take this. I cant do anything, I�m stuck here and I can�t do anything." His anger was rocketing. Goshen got up weakly. He looked up in time to see a blast head straight for the already weakened Balnok. Balnok screamed in pain as the blast hit his body. "BAL, no, you," Goshen screamed. He charged Kore and fought with all he had. Kore just smiled and blasted him back to the ground. Goshen was just about over the brink. What he saw next horrified him and Balnok to the bone. Tara flew up to attack Kore when he grabbed her and started squeezing her in his arms. Blood flew from her mouth as he squeezed tighter and tighter. Balnok forgot about his back and stood up. He jumped up to slash Kore, but got kicked back to the ground. Both Goshen and Balnok transformed immediately. Their helmets flew off and they did like Mara and Tara. "Take this," Gohan said, rushing at the beast. Videl was on the ground, nursing their daughter. Gohan was enraged, he was hitting Kore with all his strength trying to bring the behemoth down. Gohan was blasted to the ground. Kore was worn down pretty well now. Gohan could see that he was tired. Then he felt 2 energy surges combine into one. Balnok and Goshen stood there watching Gohan fight. They saw him get shot down and decided to take the matter into their own hands. "FUUU," Balnok yelled "SIONN," Goshen yelled in reply. "HA," they said together. Tara dropped to the ground as her sister pulled her from Kore�s clutches. Two voices were heard. "Hey, you." they said in synchronosis. He turned around only to see a gloved hand hit his face. Gohan looked up and saw an amazing sight, Balnok and Goshen had fused into Balshen, and were beating the giant into a pulp. Kore turned around and stuck out a big, blue hand. He fired a blast, thinking it would knock him away, but it was absorbed by something in Balshen�s hands. "Thanks buddy, I needed that." He said with his sword in front of him. "but, you keep it." Suddenly Balshen charged a Quelsar blast, threw it, and suddenly swung the sword through it. He then flipped it around and pointed it towards the guy. "MANA SABER LIGHTNING BLASTER," he yelled. A bright yellow beam flew from the sword. The monster was engulfed in energy as the last remnants of his body disappeared into dust. Balshen was defused and everyone was standing around Balnok, who was laying on the ground in pain. "Are you OK?" Videl asked in a worried voice. "It was a lot for him to handle. He went Fantastic Faya �jin and used up his mana energy. It totally drained him." Tara said in dismay. "We have to hurry, come on." Goshen put his hand on Balnok, and used instant transmission to get him Back to the Capsule Corp. building. "Balnok? Are you OK honey," Bulma asked when he finally woke up. "Yeah, you OK kid?" Vegeta asked roughly. "He definitely has the Royal blood in him. He�s a fighter for sure." "I thought you would die cuz," Trunks was standing by his bed crying. "Can we be alone?" Tara asked, walking in. "Of course," Bulma had to pull trunks and Vegeta away. Tara closed the door. "You�know, it was because�of you that I went Fantastic Faya �jin. "I know. That made me feel so loved when they told me about it. Aishiteru, Wolfy." "Aishiteru," he pulled back the covers and she got in bed. They held each other, neither daring to move. Tara fell asleep in her lover�s arms. Balnok stayed up, watching her sleep. Finally he put his head down on her chest and fell asleep. The end. |
