Little Saiyalings - The College Years
By: MU

Author’s Note: This chapter starts off shortly before the last one finished.  “Yu-Gi-Oh!” characters finally get the action, and respect that they deserve, mostly due to he fact that this chapter was co-written by my sister, Chaos (her pen name).  So, for all of you hardcore “Yu-Gi-Oh!” fans with a problem, take it up with her…I’ll be glad to forward those emails.  Right, the DBZ characters don’t get shortchanged either.  Enjoy!

CHAPTER 21 – Quarterback Challenge – Party 1, Part 2

 Meanwhile, Goku was on his way to find Bulma when he got stopped by a tall, dishwater blond man wearing a Domino University letterman’s jacket.  His eyes caught Goku’s, and he smiled.  Goku smiled back, “Hi.  So, how’s the food at this party?”

 “Umm…it’s good, ya know?”  The man nervously answered back.  “So, uh…what’s with the hair?”

 Goku put his hand behind is head, and laughed.  “Oh, my hair’s always been like this, ever since the day I was born.”

 “Oh.  So, hey…I know you.  You’re that Goku guy, the unstoppable QB, right?”

 “Well, I wouldn’t say unstoppable…but, thanks…right now I just want to get to the food…” Drool formed in Goku’s mouth as he caught a view of the roast pig out of the corner of his eye.

 “Are you okay, man?  You better go eat.”

 “Okay…nice to meet you, ummm…what was your name again?”

 “Katsuya Jonouchi.  But all my friends call me Joey…it’s just easier.”

 “Well, see you later.  Last one to the ham is a rotten egg!”

 Goku ran to the table with the roast pig on it and noticed that there was someone he knew sitting there as he began to tear into the well done beast.  “Well, it’s about time,” the familiar aqua haired girl said.

 “Oh, hey…Bulma!” Goku managed to choke out between mouthfuls, “have you had this pig?  It’s soooooooooo good.  If all of the food is this good, this party’s gonna be GREAT!”

 “Glad to see that you like the food Goku, but I’ve got something important to tell you.  It’s about Chi-Chi.”

 Goku paused and thought for a second.  “Oh, yeah.  So where is she, anyway?  I left a message on her machine.  She’s gonna miss all this great food!”

 At that very second, a loud scream could be heard from the other side of the bunker.  “He passed out!  Help!  Is there a Pre-Med in the house?”

 Everyone became silent as a single voice shouted out, “I’m a Pre-Med!”

 The scared voice shouted again, “Well then get over here.  We have a bald man down!”

 Goku and Bulma watched as the person who was a “Pre-Med” ran over to the other side of the bunker.  Goku thought about who he knew that was bald in between thoughts of how tasty all of the foods were that he was eating or was going to eat for the rest of the evening.  Bulma caught on much more quickly, “Goku!  It’s Krillin!  We gotta get over there!”

 She grabbed Goku’s hand and began to pull.  Goku’s other hand reached out for a turkey leg as he was pulled away from the table.  “Bulma, okay, okay…ow!  I’m coming!”

 Everyone at the party circled around the fallen bald guy.  Beside the bald guy, Joey was sitting checking the bald guy’s pulse while a pretty blond girl was stroking the bald man’s head near the six dot tattoo saying, “Krillin, it’s gonna be okay.  Krillin…”

 Joey turned around and shouted, “Alright everybody…we need to give the guy some room.  He’s gonna be fine, but we’re gonna have to get him to the hospital.  I’m gonna need some help.  We need a couple of people to carry him.”

 “I’ll help…I owe him that,” the blond girl said.

 “Thanks 18, we need at least a few more people.”

 “This is Tien, I’ll help!”

 “Thanks…Tien was it?  Anzu, would you help too?”

 “Okay Joey.”

 Goku ran over to Krillin’s side, “I’ll help.”

 Just as Joey was about to say something, 18 interrupted “No, Goku.  Krillin accidentally swallowed my drink…and I think it was drugged.  Some guy with long white hair, earrings and blue eyes who was wearing a Domino University football jersey gave me the drink.  I think he might have something to do with this.  He looked kinda scary…”

 “Wait a second, Yugs, come over here.”

 At that point a medium build guy wearing a blue coat and a Domino University football jersey with red eyes and yellow and red hair came out of the crowd.  His hair was wild, with the streaks being clearly separated.  Around his neck he wore a pyramid with an eye on it.  “That would be Marik,” a voice that sounded smaller than his body said.

 “This is Yugi, our QB,” Joey gestured toward his comrade, “he’ll help you find out what’s the deal with this.  Don’t worry; we’ll take care of your friend.  He’ll be fine.”

 Goku shook hands with Yugi, “Thanks.”

 Just as Yugi was about to say something to Goku, 18 interrupted by stepping in between them.  She put her hands on both Yugi and Goku’s shoulders and said four words, “Kick his ass, boys.”  At this, Goku noticed Yugi’s demeanor seemed to change, as he began to look physically stronger.  Both their eyes narrowed.  They both nodded.

 Then Joey led her and the rest of the crew to the elevator out of the compound.

 Someone shouted, “We’re tapping a new keg, so dump your old stuff in case there’s a problem with it.”  The other people of the party slowly left the circle doing like the person said as they dispersed and went back to their various activities.  This left only Goku and Yugi standing there staring at each other.  They both realized the gravity of the situation (as many of the people around them were too drunk to realize it).  They had to stop whatever was happening before it happened to another person, and even worse, a girl.

 “Marik…” Yugi said in a quiet, but deep voice.

 Goku looked at Yugi for a second.  “You know where to find this guy?  He’s on your team.”

 “You don’t find Marik.  Marik finds you…” was the reply that Goku received.

 “You sound a lot different than before…” Goku started, but was tapped on the shoulder and thus began to turn around.  Yugi was tapped on the shoulder at same time, and reacted similarly.

 As they both turned around, they felt a hard blow to the face, knocking both of them on their butts.  As they got up to see who did it, they both noticed familiar figures.

 “Yamcha, why did you punch Yugi!”

 “Tristan, why did you punch Goku!”

 They both got up, and faced their perpetrators.  There was a blank expression on both of the faces of Yamcha and Tristan.  Together, in a voice that wasn’t their own, they said, “Master Marik requests both of your presences.”

 “Marik!  What did you do to them?!?!!” Yugi exclaimed.

 “Nothing that can’t be undone Yami, if you hand over your position to me.  Duel me, now,” zombie Yamcha and Tristan replied.

 “What are they talking about?” Goku looked confused.

 “Goku, you will follow…but you will not interfere.  This way.”  The two zombies began to lead Goku and Yugi to a different room in the bunker.  For some reason, nobody noticed as the four left.

 Goku looked at Yugi as they walked into the darkness, “What’s happening?  Why did those two call you Yami?”

 “It’s a long story…but if you trust me, we can make it through…if we work together.”

 “You’ve got it,” but Goku couldn’t help but feel like he was walking into something that was bigger than a position on a football team.
