Chapter 7

The next day everyone decided to go to the beach near the hotel. So after they ate break fast, they got ready and flew to their destination. It was a sunny and hot, the beach wasn't that crowded. The gang found a shady spot by three large coconut trees. Shiba, Goku and Hiroshi ran straight into the water with their surfboards ready to catch some waves. Everyone else stayed behind. Gohan and Ami studied while Chichi, Bulma and Videl tanned. Vegita and Piccolo were meditating by the coconut trees.

Two hours later . . .

Shiba, Goku and Hiroshi were back from their surfing very hungry. Bulma and Chichi went to buy everyone some burgers at the concession stand. Shiba went to get them drinks. She saw a young man in the snack stands. He had short dirty blonde hair that was up in a cowlick. He was tall and muscular (six pack) with a slight tan. His eyes were the colour of the sunny, blue skies. He looked as if he was a Holly wood movie star. Shiba walked to the counter surrounded by teenage girls. She tried to make her way through the crowd. The young man immediately
glanced at Shiba, blinking several times.

"Um, can I have three large mango drinks, three medium 7-ups, 3 Rootbeers and one water please."

"Uh . . .su, sure. Just a minute." And he stumbled to get the drinks she ordered. When she got the drinks, Ami and Videl ran up to her.

"Need and extra hand?" Videl asked.

"I can use one." Shiba struggled with the three large drinks. Ami and Videl got the other seven. The young man stopped Shiba from leaving,

"Can I have a talk with you?"

"Umm, O.K. Ami, Videl, you guys can go ahead, I'll meet you there."

"O.K." They answered as they walked back. Shiba turned to the young man. He took out a piece of paper and began to write something,

"My name's Max Martin. If you want, call me sometime." He gave Shiba the note he was writing on. It had his name and phone number.

"Uh . . . thanks." She shyly walked away. Max called out,

"Hey! What's your name?" Shiba turned around and answered,

"Shiba . . . Shiba Daimaou."

Shiba returned to their spot with their drinks. She handed the two large drinks to Goku and Hiroshi. The third one was for herself. She sat down on her towel that was between Gohan and Bulma, who still hasn't returned with the burgers. Vegita came and sat down beside Shiba.

"Is Piccolo still meditating?" Shiba asked.

"Why don't you go find out for yourself?" Vegita said without changing his hard expression. Shiba leaned back and gave her brother a vague look before she got up to see Piccolo.
______________________________________________________________________________
Piccolo was still meditating under the large coconut tree. Sweat drops trickled down his cheek as he saw threatening visions in his mind.

~{ Piccolo was in a deserted island filled with emptiness and barren. His clothes were torn and his body was badly bruised. He looked around the island trying to find some sort of life. Finally, he saw someone lying down far off in the distance. Piccolo ran to the person. As he came closer, he began to see that the person had green skin, red hair, torn clothes like, himself, and severe cuts and bruises were all over his body. It was Hiroshi. Piccolo began to run faster.

"Hiroshi!!" Piccolo yelled. Hiroshi's body struggled to respond. He lifted his wounded head and yelled back,

"Dad! No, don--" Piccolo stopped on his tracks and saw a bright blue beam of light heading straight for him. Hiroshi aimed his hand to the beam,

"Hyperbeam!" The beam of energy hit the blue beam. The collision created an explosion. Soon everything around him became white.

"Piccolo . . . . Piccolo . . . . . Piccolo . . . . ."}~

The next thing Piccolo saw was his wife, standing right in front of him. Both of her hands were on his shoulders. She released her grip,

"Took you long enough to wake up. Are you O.K.?" Shiba asked in concern. Piccolo got up on his feet,

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, you looked as if you had a nightmare or something."

‘How can she tell?' Piccolo thought.

"The heat's getting to me I guess."

"Well we were about to have lunch. Why don't you come eat something with us?" Piccolo looked at her with unsureness,

"Is it that ice stuff?"

"Ice cream?  Oh no, it's hamburgers."

"Ham what?"

"Come on, I know you'll like this one." Shiba held onto Piccolo's arms and they walked to where everyone else was.
______________________________________________________________________________
Ice appeared above the Hawaiian sea. Her hair blew across her face as she sensed the Z-fighters nearby,

"Those pathetic humans . . . they'll pay for this dearly." She lifted her arms, tilted her head back to inhale and tilted it forward to exhale gusts of wind that created whirlpools. Then six blue skinned women wearing a long blue dress, long white hair and duck hands and feet.

"You are my graceful sea-dancers, go and kill the ones who dare try to stop us! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha . . . . ."
______________________________________________________________________________
Bulma and Chichi returned with the hamburgers and everyone was eating. After taunting Piccolo to try a hamburger, they all had a good laugh.

"That was so hilarious!" Goku said, still trying to calm down.

"How was I supposed to know?! This is my first time eating!"

"Remember, next time, to chew on solid food." Gohan informed. Piccolo gave his student an annoyed look.

"You should've seen your face dad, "Hiroshi bursted out, "You looked like a blueberry!!"

"Better to look like a blueberry than to be a carrot blonde." Piccolo took a bit out of his hamburger, remembering to chew it.

"Wha-- hey!! I'm not a carrot blonde!! I understand the carrot part, cuz my hair's red. But I'm not a blonde."

"Yes you are." Ami said.

"What? No, I'm not."

"When you turn into a Super Saiyan you are."

"I am? . . . . Oh yeah I am!" Hiroshi made a childish grin and rubbed the back of his head, "He, he, he, I forgot." Piccolo continued to eat with everyone else. Though he thought the hamburger was good, and not cold like the ice cream, he refused to go for seconds.

‘How can these people eat so fast and not choke?' Piccolo thought as he watched the Saiyans gobble down the food and drinks. Shiba finished eating her 10th burger and leaned against Piccolo's chest. He gently wrapped his arms around Shiba's neck. Suddenly, the Z-fighters felt an evil power approaching. As they turned their heads toward the sea, dark clouds surrounded the sky. It blocked the sun so there was no light. Everyone was silent. Then, a small drop of rain began to pour along the beach area. Everyone on the beach began to run for shelter, until they saw six strange creatures. They had the appearance of a female, blue skin, white dress, long wavy hair and duck-like feet and hands. The creatures landed separately, waves of water appeared as they gracefully waved their arms forward. The people on the beach were either being washed out into the stormy sea or drowned. It began to rain even harder and wind began to
blow had like a hurricane. The Z-fighters each chose an opponent and began to attack. But as they got close, they were choked by the water they threw. The ki blasts went through the waves but it missed the opponents. Goku watched the people drown while fighting. He couldn't stand to watch any longer so he, telepathically talked to everyone.

~*[Hey, guys on the count of three do the Soar Flare Attack. Then quickly get the drowning people to safety. Got it?]*~

They all nodded in agreement accept for Vegita.

~*[1 . . . 2 . . 3!]*~

"Solar Flare!" A flash of light brightened the whole beach area for a quick second and slowly faded away. Everyone left to help as many people as they could. Vegita stood in the rain wondering what to do. He turned to the blinded creatures and he powered up his Final Flash.
______________________________________________________________________________
Piccolo scanned around the sea and saw a young girl drowning. He flew to her and carried her back to the beach. She had jet-black hair, brown eyes and was wearing a navy-blue one-piece bathing suit. The girl looked up to Piccolo and hugged his neck. Piccolo tried to break through her but it was no use, she had a firm grip.

‘I just hope Shiba doesn't see this.' The girl smiled sweetly at Piccolo,

"Thank you so much for saving me! My name's Rachel, what's yours?"

"Why do you care?"

"Can I have your phone number then?"

"Wha--"

"You look cute do you know that? Cuter than my ex-boyfriend that is. So do you live here? I do. Do you work out?----"

"I gotta go." Piccolo landed at the beach's parking lot to drop off Rachel and he returned to the fight. All he heard behind him was.

"Wait Mr. Piccolo . . . "

By the time they all arrived, Vegita was getting pounded every second. He managed to defeat one of the opponents though.

"Vegita!" Goku called out, "Forget about the creatures and come! We have to fuse so--"

"Forget it Kakkarot!!" Vegita refused with shooting ki blasts. Goku gave up and turned to Piccolo,

"Piccolo! Can you take Vegita's place?" Piccolo nodded. 

"I've got an idea!" Everyone gathered around to listen, "Gohan, Hiroshi, you two push those clouds together as fast as you can! Goku and I are gonna fuse right underneath. Shiba, you gather up those sea people to where we are!" They followed the plan perfectly. Shiba teased the creatures to follow her up as Goku and Piccolo fused to become Gokolo. (Same body and face structure as Goku, accept green skin, big ears and an antenna.) As the clouds collided with each other, a flash of lightning hit Gokolo. When Gokolo saw Shiba with the creatures, he powered up a Kamehame/Makankasopou. The lightening gave them more power and they shot the ki blast at the six creatures. Shiba teleported out of the way just in time. Their opponents screeched as they died away. The sky cleared up again and it was sunny once again. They all flew down back on solid ground. Vegita sat on his but, as he breathed heavily. Blood ran down the side of his mouth. They flew down to Vegita.  The girls ran to the Z-fighters. Gokolo returned to its normal form (Piccolo & Goku). Goku's stomach growled indicating a sign of hunger. They all laughed as they returned home.
