"To absent friends," said the old bald man on the couch, popping open a beer and saluting the screen.
Poof! went two guys as their time bubble eroded.
"Uh oh," said Jiraiya and Naruto as they realized they were WAY up high.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" yelled Naruto as they began to fall.
THUD! went the both of them as they landed on a weirdly shaped flying fortress.
Jiraiya caught his breath before he decided to point out something. "Naruto? Did you realize you turned into a kid?"
"Wha? AGH! I can't go home like this! They'll put me back in the Academy!"
Jiraiya blinked as he thought he saw someone else fall and land on the odd ship. Had he just imagined it?
Inside, a woman paused. "Pilaf-sama? Did you hear something odd?"
"We're at 10,000 feet at a speed of 850mph," pointed out Pilaf. "If there's something you hear wrong, you better investigate."
"What if it's that kid?" asked Shu.
"We run?" suggested Pilaf, who really was hoping that kid was NOWHERE nearby. Just look at what he did when he'd turned into a giant ape and trashed his palace.
"Yo!" said the little kid outside the windshield. "Hey! You've got my dragonball!"
"Oh HELL," said Pilaf.
"Dragonball Dragonball
Dragonball I'll get it
Dragonball Dragonball
Dragonball I'll get it."
Jiraiya opened a beer as he watched the three kids racing back and forth. "You know-"
"Hmmm?" asked Kamesennin.
"I have to say, I had my doubts at first, but now I see the benefits of your training style," admitted Jiraiya.
"Of course!" said Kamesennin. "I am an expert at this."
Jiraiya was quiet for a moment as the four kids raced back and forth. "Uhm."
"Not one of yours?" asked Kamesennin.
"No, I was going to ask you the same," said Jiraiya.
"Donna yume demo Kanaeru to iu yo
Donna negai mo Nozomi no toori ni
Sotto himerareta dorama
Tooi mukashi no hi no yume "
"I, I can't m-m-move?!" squeaked Krillin as he fell over, paralyzed.
"Argh!" said Naruto, likewise paralyzed. "Genjutsu!"
"Nah, it's just a ki technique," said the third little boy, smirking. "The old freak caught me in this once or twice. I'll be free in a moment."
"Then I'll just kill YOU first," said Blue, getting ready to make his threat true.
At which point the pool of water erupted as Son Goku leapt into the cavern.
"Nanatsu no booru ni Chiribamerareta
Kiseki ga koko ni Ima Yomigaeru
Come out Dragon just for me
Kono mune wa atsuku tokimeku
Yuuki wo dashite far away."
"Your order," said Aika Nakamura, handing over the bowl.
Jiraiya watched as the delivery girl sped off on a jet-ski. "Isn't that...?"
Kamesennin just snapped the chopsticks apart and started eating. "I just stopped questioning after awhile. Less stress and you live longer that way."
"Got you," said Jiraiya as he considered that.
The Kamesennin finished the bowl quickly, then sat back and fanned himself. "That hit the spot."
"So both kids from off-world ended up the age of this Goku kid," said Jiraiya.
"Apparent age," corrected Kamesennin. "Goku says he's older than he looks. No, I don't know why."
"Huh," said Jiraiya, filing that away for consideration. "Well, what about this contest?"
"Tenka'ichi Budoukai," said Kamesennin. "You missed the first one because you were passed out drunk."
"Yeah, I vaguely remember that," said Jiraiya, scratching his head. Funny, he hadn't thought he'd drunk that much.
"They ought to do well this time," said the Kamesennin.
"Come out Dragon just for me
Nozomi kanaete hoshii kara
Yume oikakete far away.
Dragonball Dragonball
Dragonball I'll get it "
"Ranma Saotome versus... Kid Ghidra! FIGHT!"
Ranma smirked at being handed a three-headed dragon as an opponent. Even with his younger body, this would be a piece of cake. And, at the very least, he was a cooler opponent than the one Yamcha had gotten.
Oh well, might as well start. "Shadow clone!"
"Three heads," said the leftmost Ranma.
"Three of us," said the middle Ranma.
"Eh, let's just get this outta the way so we can fight Goku later," said the rightmost Ranma.
"Dare ga shikaketa Fushigi na booru yo
Doko ni aru no ka Miwaku no houseki
Haruka kanata no misuterii
Kataku tozasareta nazo yo"
"I am here to kill you, 'Jackie Chun'," said the winged creature.
"Oh?" asked Kamesennin.
"Mind if I try this guy out?" asked Jiraiya. "I want to try out those new moves."
"Go right ahead," said the Kamesennin, opening a beer.
"Hah!" said Tambourine. "I'm prepared for anything."
"Shadow Clone Technique!" declared Jiraiya, becoming twenty of himself. Ten charged forward. "Rasengan!"
BLAM!
Those clone struck with the Rasengan and then were dismissed as their chakra was discharged in the attack. Of course, the ten that had not charged forward had been readying their own attack.
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
Jiraiya looked at the little pieces of gore scattered over the beach. "Oh. I didn't get to use the third part of the combo."
"Don't worry about the mess," advised Kamesennin. "The fish and tides will take care of it. I wonder if this means another adventure is underway."
"I ought to check in with Naruto anyway," said Jiraiya with a sigh.
"Are you sure? You'll miss the movie on cable, tonight looks like a doozy," said the older pervert.
"I was going to try calling him actually," said Jiraiya. "You know, the phone."
"Oh, right," said the older pervert.
