Dragonball: Absurd Crossing
Chapter 3; Mysterious Excursion.
6 weeks passed…
It wasn’t long before Chichi learned the ‘basics’ from the old master. It didn’t surprise him in the least the sheer quickness she learned his moves, especially the use of her inner energy, her chi, and the Kamehameha wave.
She must’ve seen Gokou and her other family members practice all of this hundreds of times. She only needed to be shown the secret and method to performing it, and of course some given some hearty practice. The amount of power she was placing into it was impressive as well for such a quick study, though he admitted that she needed to work on her control over her chi.
Day after day for the past month that she came around, he could see the physical progress she was making on each visit. Her strength was growing by the day, her once ‘non-existent’ biceps now having visibly doubled in size, producing a strong, lemon-sized peak when she bent her arms.
Her appearance also changed in more than one way. As each day passed he’d swear she looked more and more vibrant; the positive side effects of tapping the body’s potential. Still keeping her hair in a traditional bun, she now wore a decorative, long laced red ribbon around that simple bun at the back of her head. It was a rather simple, but effective look, with acouple of long locks of hair hanging down at the sides of her head that she’d grown out, reminiscent to her ‘younger’ days.
On the especially hotter days, Chichi sometimes wore lighter clothing outside of her usuals, mainly a short sleeved white shirt and pants, like today. He could plainly see the light but distinct definition of the abs of her stomach when they practice sparred afew times, and he was soon beginning to wonder if he was seeing things or if her breasts, her ‘chi-chi’s’, had always been that size. They seemed a little larger than he’d imagined from all the times when he’d envisioned them through her clothing. He surmised it was from the gradually building chest muscle behind them pushing them out further, as he’d felt from the couple of times he ‘stumbled’ and fell against her in a rather clumsy and ridiculous moment.
He rubbed his aching jaw at those sweet, sweet memories.
‘One’s fitting, twice’s shy…. but it was worth it!’ He thought to himself.
The code of the Hentai;
It’s ALWAYS worth it.
"Chichi! Come here please!" Roshi called to her. Panting, Chichi headed over to him, dropping the two small thick 700 pound dumbbells she used to place extra resistance on her during her practice punches.
"Well my dear, you have learned everything from me, and have quickly managed to shatter the wall of human mental and physical limits. I wouldn’t expect any less from the daughter of the Ox King and wife of Son Gokou! Now you are one step closer to your goal."
"Yes!" Chichi exclaimed with a prideful smile on her face.
"BUT, I should warn you… this is only one in the billion more steps one will have to take." He was careful in hs words, not wanting to raise Chichi’s spirits in her task too high… "Still, I can see that you will take this very far either way, like all the others have. I’m sure Gokou will be in for a surprise when he comes back!"
"Thank you master," Chichi said as she bowed to him.
"And now, for that little ‘favor’…"
Chichi paled slightly as she’d forgotten all about that. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she watched as him scamper off into the house for a minute, to come back with a small photo camera. What sounded like rocks grinding unbearably hard against eachother, was merely Chichi gnashing her teeth at the thoughts of what he might ask of her to do in front of that…
"Let’s take a picture together! To mark this day of your training!"
Chichi facefaulted.
"Ohhh! A picture! Nothing wrong with that!" She said to herself, chuckling uneasily.
—-oooo—-
As she drove home, Chichi smiled fondly at the photo of her and Roshi in front of the camera, Roshi with a stupid grin on his face as he held up two ‘V’ signs. She was surprised; during the time she was with the Turtle Hermit, he never made any perverted moves towards her, outside of afew suspicious ‘close brushes’ and questionable occurrences perhaps, but nothing on the level with his infamous antics.
‘Then again, I’d been waiting that entire time for him to pull something, but not a THING! This is almost insulting in a way… Maybe I am getting old…’
The picture, to her, marked a significant step in her training. She took a good look at herself standing beside the old master. She noticed now how different she looked before she stared and now, especially her body, which looked much, much stronger than it did so many months ago.
She idly ran one hand over her left biceps, feeling how smooth and hard it was, and how it suddenly bulged from her former-slip of an arm into a hard and prominent full-size lemon. She felt really good; she could understand better now why Gokou was such a fanatic with his training. She knew though she would have to push the envelope if she were to have any hope of catching her husband. So long as she doesn’t kill herself in the process that is…
<<Head… East…>> A voice called to her.
"What the??"
<<You must… head east…>>
Chichi stopped the car, looking around frantically for the source of the strange voice.
Chichi hmphed. "No way I’m not going in a direction just because a stupid voice comes out of nowhere and tells me to…"
<<Your training… head… east… >>
—-oooo—-
"You thought you could elude me forever did you?? Hah! As of this moment, my collection is now… COMPLETE!"
Roshi sat in his chair outside on his beach, drooling as he stared deeply into the photograph he held in his hands. This had been the moment to strike, and strike hard. He just couldn’t resist getting one photo of her after all these days of watching her train at his house, his goal becoming clear the day she wore that tank top… with her prominent breasts pushing forth against the cloth, the tip of her nipples unknowingly poking into the fabric… soaked with sweat…
Within the picture, Chichi’s pumped muscles were blatantly visible after her workout, her shirt clinging to her strong, curvy body, drenched with perspiration. Chichi didn’t realize how easily it was outlining every part of her upper body. Especially two parts. Still, this was more a picture for progress and prosperity.
He then pulled out the OTHER picture he had managed to snap from the time she’d taken a shower at his house due to a devilishly clever plan involving a batch of foul smelling fish, a broken chair leg, a mirror, a muffin, a stop sign, and camera on time delay. Unfortunately, it almost resulted in almost burning his house down.
Don’t ask. You can probably already guess.
But, it was worth it; to see her in nothing but a hastily wrapped towel, giving the viewer the treat of a partially exposed nipple upon the left breast. He compared the pictures for a moment, and officially decided that she was now in league with Bulma in cup size, edging out #18 and Launch due to the strong illusion given by chest muscle building up from behind the two bosoms. What made it truly alluring though was how much curvier her body was from the stronger muscle tone it carried. And to top it off, a cute, firmed butt he’d trade his right finger in for the sake of bouncing a quarter off of.
He added the two pictures to their proper places, the "special one" going into his secret collection as his newest triumphs, along side the small number of pictures he’d secretly snagged during the time Launch and later, #18 when Krillin lived at his home. And to top the collection off, his extra, super-secret pictures of a young Bulma that he hoped Vegeta will NEVER find out about.
Looking at the picture again… the Turtle Hermit considered searching for another female with the desire to become a great martial artist… maybe one of those busty and leggy women on the exercise shows…
"Yes! I can see it now… a harem, err, dojo of young strong, beautiful women, and ME as their great master!"
The fire in the old pervert’s eyes matched the burning inferno blazing behind him as he clenched his fist in a determined look…
"….Nah, that’s way too much work. My good ol’ magazines will keep me company." He paused during the flipping through of said porno magazine, looking up to the blue sky in thought, "Although it is an enticing idea… but where would I find even a half decent student…"
"Umm…Master Roshi?" Turtle said as he swam to the shore….
"The livingroom is on fire again…"
"WHAT??!"
Frantically, Kamesenin rushed back and forth around his small island to douse the fire.
—-oooo—-
Chichi stepped out of her hovercar, swallowing another lump that formed in her throat as she ran her eyes along the immense, lush green jungle of the Paneva Ruins. In the distance and littered for miles were large ruins that stood high, hidden only by the even more giant and taller trees, save one temple that must’ve been close to nearly four-thousand feet high. She wasn’t sure why she doing what she was doing as she capsulated her car and stepped into the giant jungle. But, her gut told her it was the choice she wanted to make. Her husband would never run away from something like this…
"And whatever the danger, I’ll meet it head on. Ha! This is my first challenge as a true warrior!" She said aloud to herself as she began to jog through the forest. Leaping through the giant trees in a blur with the agility of a jackrabbit, it never occurred to her, that Gokou was rather too innocent and NAIVE to turn away.
—-oooo—-
It was deep inside of the large central temple that they toiled. This chamber was special from all of the rest within the old, smelly and dusty stone rooms, the walls lined with a strange marble that drank in light, and spew in return it’s own version of that ‘light’, from a different direction or location entirely. Space was bent and mangled, centered upon only the handful of beings who were gathered around the center floor.
Monstrous figures, demons, of different sizes and shapes were gathered around a glowing pedestal that brought the only true wisps of light into dark and ominous chamber. Each one was knelt upon the floor, a grumble of incoherent words coming from their throats as they continuously chanted an odd, rhythmic and grating jargon that reverberated through the air. Atop the pedestal before them, a tiny statue stood, it’s glow alternating between a soothing white and a crackling, staggering dark red. It would soon be time…
—-oooo—-
Chichi knelt down next to an unmoving human body, an explorer from the looks of his attire and equipment. He wore long beige, khaki pants and matching shirt, now dingy and sporting random tears. Buried beneath was a small backpack that held his equipment capsules. It only took a second to realize that the person was dead, and had been dead for not too long, over a day maybe she estimated. She choked back a small gasp as she witnessed how strangely shaped the body was.
"It’s… as if something crushed him…" She thought sadly to herself as she took time to say a prayer for the soul of the unfortunate person.
‘… Why am I here??’ She thought to herself for not the first time since that voice talked to her.
‘I’m not cut out for this sort of thing anymore; Gokou has always been the one to play hero and go on adventures…’
<<Please help… Please… help…>> The voice called to her into her mind once again. Chichi bit her bottom lip and swallowed her courage as she stepped towards the large steps of enormous temple before her.
‘…No, I can’t think like that. I have to be strong… I haven’t trained and worked myself this long just to stop. Whatever is in there, I can handle it.’
*RRRRRRrrrRRRruUuUUUMMMmmmbbBBlllLe…*
‘…I hope.’
Chichi looked up just in-time to watch the giant pillar crash down upon her from above.
—-oooo—-
Two demons, one thick with muscle, the other round, burly and heavy, both large and massive, chortled with glee from their perch inside the hidden crevice of the temple walls at the latest ignorant human to come across the path of the temple.
Today was a special day; THE special day they had been waiting for; when their master would finally be released. Never sleeping, never resting, nothing would get past these demonic watchdogs on this particular day. And so whenever a snooping human came across their grounds, one of them would set off a trap. It was rather fun to watch the snoopers mashed by the booby-trapped pillars of the temple, even if they did have to pick them up again to reset. The other traps that littered the temple grounds were easier to maintain, but gave not a good view of the gory entertainment that went on from inside the pits. As they moved to hop down from their perches and reset the trap, they found something rather peculiar going on below as the enormous pillar moved.
Once again standing but now with 200 tons of solid granite on her back, Chichi gave a small grunt as she tossed the three hundred-foot pillar behind her. The ground shook on impact, the pillar shattering into several large pieces.
"Wow…The Turtle Hermit’s training really paid off!" Chichi mumbled to herself as she stared in surprise at herself, her upper body showing a mass of curvy feminine muscle underneath her simple training clothing. Besides alittle dirt and bits of concrete from the impact, she felt just fine. Well, between that and maybe the exception of an annoying piece of rock that had slipped down into her boot. But ever since her training with Kamesenin and learning to tap into her chi, she’d felt much stronger.
The two demons gawked then snarled, looking back and forth between themselves and the female making her way up the steps again. Immediately they knew she was strong. Their main worries were the guardians of Earth, particularly the ones known as either ‘Piccolo’ or ‘Dende’ showing up. But they also knew that the gods of Earth also had allies, very strong allies. Steps had been taken to avoid this potential catastrophe from happening, including mystically shielding their workings around the forest. But it looked now like they were finally found out. With a bellowing roar, the two red-eyed demons leapt from their high up hiding places 200 feet down to ground where their female prey stood.
With a complete backflip, Chichi leapt back in a visible blur, dodging the swathing attack of their extended, clawlike fingernails. The two demons licked their lips over their fanged teeth and over their gleaming 13-inch long claws before they again lunged at her with imperceptible speed.
Three swirls of color danced around the front grounds for a half-minute, hundreds of blows, swipes, kicks and punches being parried, blocked and avoided faster than the eye could see.
The two demons attacked with great ferocity and surprising teamwork, setting up openings for the other take advantage of as they quickly realized the true skill of their opponent. Chichi realized during the bout that she was significantly faster and stronger than the two bulky demons, but their dangerous claws kept her on edge. Until she felt them shatter and break against her body. Dumbfounded at the loss of their primary razor sharp weapons, they never saw the final folly.
There was light touch of a single dainty booted foot touching the ground, and the powerful crash when the two demons slamming into the wall of the temple hard enough for each of them to create a couple of impact craters into the solid stone wall.
Chichi rubbed a finger over the small cuts in her arm and on the side of her face while looking over the large claw she’d snapped off from one of the demon’s fingers.
"I shouldn’t have been so careless," She mumbled to herself as she once more headed for the closed temple doors. One could see the large claws that once adorned the hands of the foul demons in pieces across the ground and stuck deep into the stone walls. She found that she only had nothing more than scratches that broke the skin, but her shirt was torn in various places from the demon attack. Fortunately it was still decent.
"No turning back now," She blurbed to herself as she took a deep breath and stepped up to the two enormous 70-foot high stone slabs that made up the main door of the temple.
"HAAAA!"
—
"GRRM??"
The entire building full of powerful demons went into full alert upon the shockingly loud rumbling of the forceful opening of their main door that sounded off the rather tactless, full-blown entry of the black haired woman. Four of the weaker demons on guard duty watched the giant door open, knowing that their opponent must be very strong to have defeated the outside guards AND batter open the two giant solid stone doors. The locking mechanisms now lay scattered along the grainy floor, completely shattered by the forceful entrance.
They had a strong opponent, indeed. But it was not one of the "gods", Dende or Piccolo, so it would nothing they could not handle.
Chichi was immediately welcomed by a flurry of burning fireballs shot from the throats of the charging demons. The fireballs were strong, but their aim weak, their reflexes too clumsy to keep up wityh their rapid target. She quickly found herself more worried that her fragile tank top and pants being completely disintegrated by the end of this ordeal than the small stings of the exploding pyro about the area, singing her arms and legs as she swooped about the halls. As the demons charged, running across the walls and ceiling, the ravenhaired female met their charge doing the same.
—-oooo—-
As more and more demonic beasts were smashed into and through walls of the giant temple by the one-woman-war, the horde within the large center room continued their dark chants. They could not be disturbed at this point. They would awaken their leader, their master, their lord to this universe once more. After tens of thousands of years of preparation, the hand of Ragnan would lead them once more, and they would retake their rightful places as they should in this universe once and for all.
—oooo—-
More and more demons, bigger or smaller, but netherless stronger than the last, fell at her hands as the determined woman dashed through twists and turns of the corridors within the temple like a bullet out of hell.
<< Keep ahead… Keep ahead… to the center… trust yourself…>>
"Okay, okay, I get the point!" Chichi yelled seemingly to herself as her heel connected viciously with the chin of an incoming 10-foot demon. Its body crashed hard into the 20-meter high ceiling before dropping limply to the floor while she dashed underneath. Turning acouple of corners, she finally came to a giant, elegantly designed door. It screamed ‘important’ to her mind. The door refused to budge however despite her efforts, as if it were sealed by unnatural elements.
<<Inside… you must… stop them…>> The voice said to her.
"But I can’t get in," Chichi thought aloud after giving it a frustrated kick, not even being rewarded with a chip of granite or a rain of dust; but only a throbbing foot. This door was different from the rest…
"Well, now is a good a time as any to give it a try…"
Stepping back afew yards, Chichi steeled herself, took a deep breath, and brought her hands together in one fluid motion. She could feel her energy swell and concentrate at her command as within her fingertips, a ball of writhing energy began to form within her palms on the chant of each syllable, performing the attack like she had seen her family do so many times before.
"Ka…
me…"
Haa…"
Mee…"
The light grew far more intense through the corridor, overpowering all other light, as her ki concentrated itself into a single point. And with a final shout, she thrust her hands forward, releasing the powerful well of potential energy.
"HAAA!!"
—-oooo—-
Someone was knocking on the door. And of course, the best was last.
The strongest and most powerful of the entire demon horde stood his ground behind the door as a bright light glared through the cracks from the release of a powerful energy on the otherside. Half the temple shook to it’s foundations as the powerful attack collided against the door which was enchanted with it’s own power. It stood at 30 feet tall, roped with enormous muscles ranging from the size of car wheels to pickup trucks. His form was almost misshapen from his massive build, its sharp horns jutting from out its head and shoulders. His fanged teeth gleamed as the guardian demon concentrated on fortifying the large door against the pounding energy on the otherside, channeling as much energy through the link of his powerful lord Ragnan as his body could drink of.
As his body radiated more and more brilliant, illuminating energy, he quickly found that the power on the otherside of the door was becoming incredibly overwhelming! With a roar, the powerful demon poured in enough power to easily shield the door from a tactical strike by the pathetic armies of Earth, but the force was still growing in strength on the otherside. The giant over-muscled demon strained with all his might to hold against the destructive power… but it was not hard enough. He could not drink enough of the power fast enough to stop it…
Cracks formed across the smooth stone before it exploded into chunks as the large illuminating blue wave of energy the size of a bus plowed through the room, the shockwave itself strong enough to send the chanting demons sprawling across room into the walls and tear them asunder. The blue beam burst first through the large guarding demon who was once fortifying the door, the large wave of chi not pausing for a second as it passed through him, obliterating him from neck to knee. Unhindered, the blast continued through multiple granite stone walls until it shot through to the outside, blasting out into the evening sky.
Chichi huffed and puffed, her muscles visibly tensed to the point of showing small veins on the surface from continuously pouring most of her inner strength into the Kamehameha wave. Fanning the dust and debris out of her way, she cautiously stepped into the dank and now fully lit room, thanks to the holes made by her assault. Chichi couldn’t help but feel alittle proud of her handiwork.
"Hah! How you like me now!!"
Yea. Just alittle proud.
She cheered to herself boastfully, pumping one arm up and down, laughing pridefully as she surveyed the room, until she caught a glance of scattered and broken bodies of the giant demon she’d unknowingly blasted apart, along with the smaller subordinates, making her shiver at the terrible gore.
"… Ouch…umm… opps…." she babbled speechless, not exactly sure of how to feel about this accomplishment.
A glint of something shined into the side of her eye.
<<… On the pedestal… The pedestal… >>
"What’s this?" She mumbled questionably as she stepped toward what looked to be a glowing statue radiating a strange light back and forth between bright white light and a strange, blood gold. It was hard to completely see the shape or form of the statue from the deep glow it carried, besides that it had a human form of body, though this did not mean that it was actually human.
"Is this what I came here for?"
<<Yes! That’s it..!! …Take it…>> The voice insisted…
Silently she reached out and took it into her hand. Immediately reacting to her touch, a strange tingly feeling ran through her body as tendrils of electricity started to pulsate around her form. Slowly the dark fold glow began to recede, the illuminating brightness showing through beginning to blind the surprised woman. The tingling increased dramatically through her body to a point of almost becoming painful, but as if she were caught in a torrent of electricity, she could not let go of the small statue. She could feel something building within her, something strange, alien…
The sheer light began to emanate force through the room, blowing chunks of broken granite and dust about, as it became stronger and fierce. Chichi gasped as everything was enveloped in an immense illumination strong enough to shine impossibly through solids.
And then it stopped, the feeling gone, as if it never existed. It was afew long moments before Chichi finally opened her eyes to look dazedly at the statue she held. The glow was completely gone now, the small statue seeming to now be nothing more than just that now; a statue of a slim person… it’s gender confusing from the look of it’s formless physique.
"…What was that about?" As if responding to her words, the smooth carving statue crumbled in her hands like dry dirt. Chichi cringed, shocked as little pieces fell to the floor.
"AHH! Oh no! What happened now?!! Why did it shatter like that?!"
—-oooo—-
She sighed as she buried the man she’d came upon earlier on her arrival at the ruins, making a small grave with her hands and placing a stone cross she’d carefully carved out of the temple stone at the head of its base when she was done. Popping open her capsuled car and driving home, she felt that the entire ordeal had been useless in some ways. She couldn’t stop thinking about that strange statue as it crumbled in her hands inexplicably. She was sure she didn’t crush it… it just… broke.
‘Well, maybe not completely useless,’ she mentally corrected herself. She made the world a better place to live now with that cult of vile demons gone, and she got a better understanding of her capabilities. That made her swell with pride as she thought about it, but right now, food and a nice hot bath was analogue to heaven as the sun began to set in the horizon.
"It is late… I wonder if Videl or Gohan went ahead to make dinner without me," She wondered to herself as she headed home. Boy would she have a story to tell them!
—-oooo—-
Crawling out of the front door of the temple, the once massive demon, now reduced to nothing more than a head on shoulders with half of one arm still attached, growled in fury of being defeated on this most important, sacred day. Vengeance clouded it’s mind many times over as it’s only desire now was to heal itself and find the damned woman who destroyed it’s clan and assured that their master would never come to this plain.
It would never get the chance. As an enormous white-hot light descended from the sky towards the temple, the demon let out its final cry.
Piccolo hovered high in the air as he one by one destroyed the temples.
"I still don’t like this. I don’t like that I just let Gohan’s mother go alone against a horde of beasts like them, and I like even less that I let her take an ancient alien artifact that even I have little knowledge about at this time…"
<<Stop worrying yourself Piccolo!>> A voice talked to him inside of his mind; much more casual and flighty than the previous ghostly, shrill speech Chichi was hearing previously…
<<That’s why you were there to keep an eye on her, just in case anything went wrong! And besides, this may be her one and only chance to make her wish come true, if nurtured the right way. It’s her long shot, Piccolo.>>
The Namekian growled under his breath as he responded mentally. <<I hope you know what your doing. Why are you doing this for her anyway?>>
Piccolo heard the Lord of Worlds cleared his throat before answering.
<<… I… have my reasons…>>
"…Right."
