Crossing Dimensions By: Alex Betts Book 2: The DBZ Realm Disclaimer: Except for Matt, Will, and myself I don't own any of these characters Chapter 2 "Extended Vacation" "Matt is that you?" I asked in disbelief. "Yup, it's me," he replied and then added, "And you heard me right I don't want to be wished back to life." I then turned to Ryoko and said, "Ryoko I need you to do me a favor." "Sure, what is it?" She asked. "Kill me," "WHAT, I'm going to kill you and besides why?" "So I can go up there, grab the first blunt object I can find and repeatedly bash Matt's skull in until I knock some sense back in." "Alex I'm not crazy," he replied, "but well I'm already dead and if you wish me back I'll just die again. And besides that I died one of the best ways a person can, so let's just leave things alone." "You know you could have said something before we went trough all of this trouble," Will said. "Well this wasn't an easy decision for me, I really had to think about it," Matt said trying to calm us down. "YOU TRY MY PATINCE, MAKE YOUR WISH NOW," the dragon said. And it is kind of hard to tell but I think Shenron was losing his patience with us real fast. "Great does anyone have any really good wishes?" I asked. "Well," Ryoko began, "I know what I'd like," she said looking at Tenchi. "Oh no you don't demon no way are you going to get Tenchi through a wish," Ayeka said pulling Ryoko away from Tenchi. "None of you are going to get Tenchi through a wish," I added. "Chill out, when I do get Tenchi or Alex it will be through true love which is to bad for you princess," Ryoko said waiting for Ayeka to react. "THAT IS IT IF YOU HAVE NO WISHES THEN SAY SO," Shenron said, and now I could tell he was aggravated. "Well seeing as how that appears to be the case then I guess you can leave, sorry about this," "THEN I BID YOU FARWELL," Shenron said and he disappeared and the dragon balls rose into the air and shot across the sky to be scattered across the world again. "Well now I guess we just give the radar back to Bulma and then we head to Amber and the Courts of Chaos," I said. So we got in the truck and headed back to West City. However after about 20 minutes the engine began cutting out and then it just died. "Uh oh," Trunks muttered. "Ok please tell me something good about this Trunks," I asked. "Well I really can't there's nothing to be fixed the truck is out of gas," he replied. "You're kidding, the cars in this world can fly and travel at neck-breaking speeds and yet they still need gas," Will muttered. "Hey they need fuel, it's just a basic in cars, Alex can you get us some fuel from a shadow?" Trunks asked. "Yeah but I don't know if it would be any good, I don't know what these things use," I replied. "This is great," Ryoko muttered, "first Matt doesn't want to come back, then the truck runs out of gas, well what next?" "Uh well I don't have any other cars or trucks with me," Trunks said. "What about the time machine it can just fly right?" I asked. "Yeah but there's no way everyone will fit in it," he answered. "I can fix that," Washu said with perhaps too much eagerness to do it. "Sorry Washu but I don't want anyone other than myself and my mom touching the time machine," Trunks replied. "Ryoko can't you just teleport us back?" Kiyone asked. "I don't think I can take this many people and I don't really remember the area that well," she said. "Besides where's the fun in that?" I asked joking around, then I added, "Ok hang on and I'll get a car." So I extended my logrus tentacles into shadow once more searching for a car, finally I found the one I wanted and I slowly began to pull it through. With some help from the others we got it into our current shadow fully. They then looked at our new transportation. "It figures," Will muttered, "I should of known you'd get a prowler." "Hey it's what I like," I said. "But we can't all fit in it," Tenchi said. "I can fix that as well," Washu said, "We just need a few more seats," So she brought up her computer and began typing on it, and as she did the car began to stretch and grow more seats. After a few moments the changes were done. I then used my Spikard to add my own choice of a flame and lightning paint job to the black prowler. "Oh and Will this time I'm driving," I said. Ryoko and Ayeka then both said at the same time, "I want to ride up front." "Now Ryoko you can't get everything you want all the time," Ayeka then said while glaring at Ryoko. "I could say the same to you, shouldn't the Princess of Juri learn to deal with that," Ryoko then said returning the glare. "Hey will you two stop this we have a long way to go," Tenchi said. However he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for when Ryoko turned to him and replied, "I'm glad to see you care about this Tenchi so Tell me who do you think should get front seat?" "How about we just flip a coin," Will said, "if it's heads Ryoko rides up front and if it's tails Ayeka gets the front seat." Too bad Ryoko and Ayeka weren't even paying attention, while we had waited for Will to dig out a coin from his pocket they had already begun exchanging blows. "Sometimes I wonder why we even bother trying to solve their little fights," I muttered. "Well at least there isn't anything out here to break," Tenchi said. "With the exception of my prowler," I said reminding him of the car. "Let's just settle this now," Will said, he then walked over to Ryoko and Ayeka and said, "Ok girls I'm flipping a coin on this one." With that he tossed the coin into the air and then caught it in his palm. The coin had landed heads up. "And Ryoko gets to ride up front," Will announced. This managed to get the attention of the girls and out of a miracle things didn't get worse. Ryoko just shot a nasty smile at Ayeka and got in the front seat. With that settled we drove back to West City. We had to break a few times to eat and what not. When we finally arrived in West City it was in the afternoon. So we went to Bulma's house to return the dragon radar and be on our way...too bad fate is never that kind. When we came into the Capsule Corp, not just Bulma, but Gohan greeted us as well. At the moment though I didn't think anything of it. "Hey Bulma we're done with the dragon radar," I said as I handed the radar to her. "Thanks, but were is Matt?" she asked. "Funny story," I said with much irritation in my voice, "he decided at the last minute, after we had gone through a great deal of trouble, and after we had summoned the blasted dragon, that he doesn't want to come back to life." "Oh man, so what did you do with the wishes?" Gohan asked. "Do? We didn't DO anything with the wishes, we told Shenron he could leave at any moment." Will now said. "So this whole trip was just a waste of our time," Ryoko added. "Well...maybe not Alex," Gohan replied. "What are you talking about Gohan?" I asked, and I had a feeling that I wasn't going to like the answer. "Let's see how can I explain this," Gohan muttered. Then after a moment of thinking he said, "the thing is Bulma's costume works great but since I need to help this girl called Videl, she is Hurcules daughter, it causes me to be out of school for long periods of time. No one knows who I am as The Great Saiyaman but when I got back to school the teacher chewed me out for being gone so long." "And where exactly do I come into play in this?" I asked. "Well if you could use your powers to cover for me it would help out a lot," he replied. And then I lost it, "ARE YOU CRAZY!" I yelled at Gohan, "I don't have time to cover for you while you are playing super hero!" After that I waited till I calmed down a little and then said, "And besides Gohan I don't even go to your school, you're basically a senior in high school while I'm a sophomore, and I don't know anything about the stuff your studying. "Ah what's the matter Alex? Don't you what to learn about other cultures" Will said teasing me. "Will stay out of this," I told him. "Now look Gohan," I said returning my attention to the problem, "you'll do just fine without my help, and besides my friends and I have things we need to do." "Well if this keeps up I won't be able to keep helping Videl when she is in trouble." "Ok fine," I said, "We'll stick around here for a few weeks but that is it," "Thanks, you have no idea how much this helps, oh but you might want a disguise, how about something like mine?" he said. I thought to myself. "Uh that's ok, but I think I'll just go as the 'gold fighter' since he's only be seen once," I then replied. We finalized everything and then agreed that Tenchi and his "family", along with Will and myself would be staying at Capsule Corp. during our stay. Trunks also decided to stay here for a while to train with his father and get to know him a little better. I'd like to know what he was thinking when he came up with that one but it must be because of his past. If only we had known where all this would lead to, otherwise we would have left and skipped out on the "fun" that would soon occur in this shadow. Authors notes: Yeah I know this small chapter should have been in sooner but hey what can I say other than I don't write on these evry night. But don't worry I fully intend to finish what I have started. Anyway for those that haven't figured it out this is going to go into the Buu saga, and until I see all of it then I won't be able to finish this story. So please e-mail me your thoughts on this story and also I have a question to ask of everyone that knows about Vegeta going Majin Vegeta. I'm not sure if I'm going to have Babadi make him Majin or not so please e-mail me at alex8525@yahoo.com and tell me what you would like to see happen with that situation, thanks.
