Little Saiyalings - The College Years
By: MU

Author’s Note: I really didn’t have a good way to start this chapter out.  I struggled with it for a very long time, but in the end the chapter went a different direction than I had intended, with a much better result (as well as a surprise in the end).  Don’t worry, though.  I haven’t forgotten about all of the other plots that I’ve set up.  On the contrary, I think that this will set up things rather well for some of the characters involved.  For those of you who’ve been keeping up with the plot, you will get your rewards SOON.  And yes, we do get the first mention of the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” characters, but only briefly.  That’s all for now!

CHAPTER 20 – Bunkered Down – Party 1, part 1

 Thursday night came very quickly to the waiting college campus.  Soon it was time for the party that was “not happening” at the ΒΩΩΜ: BOOM! (Beta Omega Omega Mu) fraternity house.

 As Goku and Krillin walked down the sidewalk towards the frat house, they were approached by a large limousine which was heading in the same direction.  It edged up to the curb, and the rear window slid open.  Out of the shadows poked a purple and grey head.  “Well, well…if it isn’t my favorite pair of losers.”

 “Hey Freeza, don’t you have to go get a facial or something?  Maybe you should get going,” Krillin replied.  Goku snickered to himself.

 “I wouldn’t normally pay attention to a couple of half-wits like yourself, except I think that you might have some information that could be useful to me,” Freeza responded.  “Would you mind telling me what all of the fuss is about today?  I see all sorts of people going towards the residential area, off of campus.”

 “Well, it’s no fuss really, right Goku?”

 “Right, Krillin.  There’s just gonna be a bar…OW!!!!!”  Just as Goku was about to spill the beans to Freeza about the party, Krillin kicked him in the shin.

 “Heh-heh.  What Goku was trying to say is that they’re putting up a large bar in the middle of the residential district.  Most of the people are going to watch the construction.”  Krillin looked at Goku, who was still walking funny, gritting his teeth.  He pretended that he just noticed, “Sorry, Goku.  I didn’t mean to kick you in the shin.”

 “Don’t mention it.  Now it’s gonna take me longer to get to the party.”

 Krillin slapped his head as he heard Goku spill the beans.

 “Oh, so there’s a party, is there?”  Freeza smiled, “So why wasn’t I invited?”

 “Because we like to do normal things, Freeza.  Go have your caviar somewhere else,” Krillin retorted.  “Why’d ya have to go tell him, Goku?  He wasn’t invited…”

 “Like I would want to come to one of your little, uncultured parties anyway.  I’m sure it would be a bore.  Thanks for the information, you nose-less freak,” Freeza laughed, closed his window, and the limousine drove off.

 “Hey, that’s right, you don’t have a nose!” Goku laughed a while, but then Krillin gave him a dirty look as if to say “You’re NOT supposed to laugh at that.”  Goku started walking and whistling, while Krillin followed behind him, grumbling about something.

 When they arrived that the location where the party should have been, they noticed that the building looked completely dead.

 “Are you sure this is where the party is supposed to be, Goku?”

 “I think so…it says B.  O.  O.  M.  But I’ve never been a very good reader.”

 “Well, this is the place then.”  Krillin opened the fence gate that was in front of the gothic style house and walked in.  Goku followed.  When they both got to the front door, Krillin looked for a doorbell.  He found a tiny, bright, green glowing orb on the left side of the door.  He pressed it.  As soon as he did, a small panel opened up in the door and a card reader popped out.  The panel began to speak.  “Please insert student ID into slot for authentication.”  Krillin did so.  “Welcome, Krillin.”

 “That was weird,” Goku commented.  Just then the card reader retracted itself, and the panel in the door closed.  At the same instant, the two felt themselves moving into the ground.  “This feels like an elevator.”

 “Goku, this is an elevator.”

 As Krillin and Goku were pulled further into the ground they noticed that they were in a metallic shaft.  After about two minutes of going down, they began to hear the faint sound of voices.  It got louder the further down they got.  Finally, the sounds of a party could clearly be heard, and Krillin and Goku reached the bottom of the shaft.  Doors opened in front of them, and when they did they could see hundreds…maybe even a thousand students in front of them, in a vast metallic expanse.  There was a DJ spinning on the far end of this metal hall, and in the middle was a large dance floor, surrounded by couches, pool tables, card tables, grills cooking food, a snack table, and a small mountain of kegs (of which Krillin was aware of the contents, but Goku didn’t have the slightest clue).  Much to Krillin’s delight, there was not a shortage of beautiful women.  I may get my chance to pay off the ol’ Chancellor after all, he thought to himself.

 “Goku!  Krillin!  Welcome to the Beta Omega Omega Mu fraternity house,” a tall, skinny man wearing thick, black glasses and a pocket protector said as he walked towards them.  He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, sandals, and had buck teeth that really made him look…funny to Goku.  The skinny guy held out his hand in a handshake gesture, “Pleasure to meet you, Goku.  I’ve heard so much about you.  My name’s Gerald Ekhardt.  People just call me Geek.”

 “Nice to meet you, Geek,” Goku said, “So where’s the food…I can’t wait to eat.  I smell it already.”

 Geek noticed that Goku was drooling.  “It’s right over there, next to where the football teams’ tables are.  You notice that the opposing team, the Domino University Destroyers, are all here.  I guess all your teammates haven’t arrived yet” He pointed to the location.  “That shorter guy, with the red, yellow, and black hair is their Quarterback, Yugi Mutou.  I’m sure you’ll meet each other later.”

 Goku scratched his head, “I see them.  Hey, how come there are only five players?  I thought you said that was the whole team?”

 “That is the whole team,” Geek scratched his chin, “Well the whole team that will take credit for playing, anyway.  The rest of the team just wears uniforms with numbers, but won’t give names.  They never seem to be around after the game either, from what I’ve heard.”

 “Hmm…I’ll have to ask Yugi about it later,” Goku smiled.  “Well, I’m gonna go get something to eat.  Bye!”  Goku began to walk away.

 “Goku, wait!  I was told to tell you by a very pretty, aqua haired girl that you’re supposed to meet with her as soon as you get here.  She told me that meant before you eat.  She’ll be at a table close to the place where the ham is being grilled.  She said that you’ll know what she means.”

 “Oh, you must mean Bulma!  Okay…maybe she’s saving me a whole pig!”  Goku ran off, sniffing as if he could smell ham cooking amongst all of the rest of the smells.

 Geek looked down, and noticed Krillin beginning to slowly follow Goku.  “Hold up, Krillin!”

 Krillin turned around, “Yeah?”

 “We have a message for you too.  It came via email…it was only one word from a guy with a screen name ‘TurtleHermit500.’  The one word was ‘REMEMBER.’”

 Krillin knew exactly what that meant, and luckily, he had his digital camera strapped around his neck.  “Thanks my good man.”  Krillin gave a half-smile.  “By the way, how did you guys get such a great set up for a party?  I mean, this place is completely bust-proof.”

 “Well, this is thanks in part to the other members of the fraternity.  Hey boys!  Why don’t you come over here?”

 Krillin watched as more tall, thick glasses and pocket protector wearing guys in Hawaiian shirts walked toward him.  There was also one rather large around the waist guy, dressed exactly in the same garb.  Geek began to introduce them.  “These are my frat brothers here in Beta Omega Omega Mu…”

 “Well that’s great, but you didn’t tell me how you got such a great place?”

 “Well, we designed it ourselves,” Geek responded.  “We are the Nuclear Physics fraternity, you know.”

 “Wow.  This must’ve taken a lot of dough to build.”

 “Yeah, but the money’s been raised over a period of 10 or so years.”

 “Ahh….I see.”  Krillin then noticed that something was different about all of the members of the fraternity.  Not all of them were skinny, and some of their glasses were missing lenses.  They were all wearing the same Hawaiian shirt as well.  “I take it that you don’t all really fit the geek stereotype…is that some kind of uniform?”

 “Very observant, you are!” Geek said in a squeaky Yoda-like voice.  “We only wear it for parties, though.  Our frat is proud to be the official party headquarters of NCU.  And with our little bunker here, it will continue to be for a very long time.”

 Krillin chuckled, “Well, thanks a lot guys.”  He held up his camera, “Any time you need some prime quality photography done, I’m your man.  Now, if you don’t mind…I’m gonna go enjoy the festivities.”

 “Later Krillin!” they all said in unison.

 Krillin walked through the room towards the direction that he had last seen Goku heading, but just as he was starting to do so, something caught his eye.  He walked towards the sign hanging on the wall.  It was a schedule for the party.  He read it.

 Wet T-shirt contest.  10:30 pm.  I’m in luck!

 He turned around quickly, but as he did his head ran into something plastic and wet, and then ran into something soft that was quite a bit taller than him.

 The blond woman jumped back a few feet as Krillin sort of half choked on the fluid the fluid that had been spilled into his surprised open mouth, finally swallowing whatever it was that was in there.  Seconds later, he noticed what an unexplainable position he had been in and began to squeak “Sorry!”  The chance was never there, for the moment that the words came out of his mouth a slap flew into his cheek.

 As soon as he felt the searing pain, he looked up…and there he saw the angry face of the woman of his dreams.  It seemed to Krillin that music had turned up, as he faintly heard her yelling “Pervert, pervert!” straight down at him.  For some weird reason, things started to go blurry…and he felt sick to his stomach.  He then heard her yell “You spilled my drink!”  As things got still more blurry, he tried to apologize again, but he didn’t know if he was actually saying anything.  Soon the room started spinning, and he felt himself slide down the wall.  Then everything went black.
