Hi gang, Here's Ch 183-Pt 1-K&K. Enjoy-
DISCLAIMER: OK Alucard, Police Girl, Walter and Sir Integra Van Helsing, it's all yours! First, thank you to Mr. T. for the use of the Angels. Thanks to everyone else who is letting us use their creations. How was that, Yuri? Great! Oh yes it was, Kei! Well, we left you up in the air so let's get to Chapter 183 without further preamble:-
Chapter 183
'Son of Shenron' or 'The Hunt Is On'
Ella Hathaway was suspicious, worried, angry and a bit frightened into the bargain. Nobody outside of the 'UG' and the 3WA was supposed to know the Angels' real names and/or that they were tro-cons! TCs were sorta like Terran secret agents or spies if you will! So Ella repeated her question and--
"It's me or is that It is I. Never mind, Miss Hathaway. It's 'Q' at our HQ. I'm in my lab, kiddo." replied Doctor 'Q' affectionately or otherwise known to Kei as Cueball the Screwball.
"Oh. I see. Oro do ya mean by calling us up at four in the bloody morning, Doc?" yelled Ella.
"Onegai calm down, Miss Ella. I was er musing to myself about Miss Brief (Bulma), her hubby (Vegeeta) and Mr. Son (Goku)." he hastened to explain.
"The 'Aoishi Bombshell' and her two idiot Saiyaan freaks? Oro about 'em?" said an impatient and grumpy Ella.
"They borrowed Blackfire's starship- the 'Black Ember' and went to hunt 'Dragon Balls' with it. So oro, Doc?" added a puzzled tro-con chief.
"Where'd they go?" asked 'Q' quietly.
"To 'Namek' I think. Why?" asked a suddenly worried Ella.
"There is no longer a dragon there and Miss Bulma had to know that, lass. So where the Hell did they really go and why?" demanded the scientist.
"They went to Terra, Doc but how that concerns you is beyond me, sir." interjected Marlene Angel.
"Mar? Gomen er sorry if my big mouth woke ya up." apologized Ella and the blonde shrugged it off.
"The Boss and the fruit (Kome) do it all the time. Anyhow Doc er the Boss told 'em to go there because Dende (Terra's new 'Namekian' guardian) had recreated 'Shenron' (the eternal dragon of the cosmos. Terra had one and so did 'Namek'. Other worlds may have dragons as well but this fact is unknown here) and the balls (Dragon Balls of course. Collect all seven and and 'Shenron' grants a wish for ya- usually that is) there. Kei's got some notion that this new 'eternal dragon' can just reverse time somehow and keep this blasted mess from ever even happening in the first place, sir. However, if 'Porunga' ('Namek's' eternal dragon who is no more now that the eldest 'Namek' guardian is deceased) and the first 'Shenron' couldn't do it then oro makes her think this new one can do it is beyond my understanding, Doc." said Mar with a yawn.
"Maybe they er did not ask 'Shenron' the right wish and they did not make the wish back 'then' in AD 2140, my dear Miss Angel." he explained.
"Huh? Oro? Oh hi there, Doc. Man, you been smoking that 'Dilythium' again? Goku and Vegeeta done that already and it didn't Fxxxing work! Didn't Mar tell ya that just now?" yawned Kome Sawaguchi.
"They did not say these words to 'Shenron' in 2140. 'I wish that the 'Lovely Angels' (Keisie and Yuyu) in 2140 had never come to 'Project Kronos' on 'Dagobah' and that therefore this universe was still intact.' Well er it is just a thought but Bulma will need her timeship the 'Lady Foucault' to try it. Go on back to sleep, my Angels. Sorry to have awakened you. have Kerry er Miss O. call me later. Sayonara." said Doctor 'Q' and he blanked his vidscreen. Ella hung up and blanked hers too.
Edna stopped by later that morning on her way to work at 0800. "Only one thing wrong with that pleaseant little scenario ('Shenron Jr.') is that the Saiyaans and Bulma won't be finding any of those balls until the end of this month 'cause Dende told me that they gotta lay dormant for a whole year between uses before they turn back into those golden balls. Dende only created 'Shenron Jr.' last February so nobody can do any dragon ball hunting until March. See ya soon but I gotta split like now! I fed Naruda this morning but you're all outta kitty litter so one of ya has to pick up some more. Er Tomoh's (her brother) offworld again and-- Wowie! Look at the time! I'd better fly or Mr. Delcroix (one of her bosses at 3WA HQ) is gonna have my guts for garters for sure! Bye." called Edna Jordan while she raced for the lift.
"That'll be perfect. We can have Yuri and Yuyu's birthday bashes and 'Sakura Festival' time before the big guy ('Shenron Jr.') fixes stuff for us!" yelled Kome from the kitchenette where Mar was trying to teach Ella and her how to cook omelettes!
"You gather it together like this and then you just flip it like so. Now you try it, Kome." said Mar.
"Like this?" said Kome. Splat! Ella laughed.
"Nice try, Kome. Very good. Ella? It's your turn now. Nai. Flip the omelette, Ella not the frying pan!" yelled Mar and kome giggled. "OK. I guess you two should just stick to repping." said an exasperated blonde. Kei wandered into the living room, an ice holopack held to her head.
"Man! That new crap sure packs a wallop, Ella! Oro the Fxxx was it anyway?" she mumbled. Then Yuri came in.
"Anyone see that superstrength 'Synthenol' that I repped up for my backache last night?" she yawned and both Kei and Ella ran for the bathroom.
"Kei? When you're er done in there we gotta call the chiefs and the 'G Twins' 'cause I thin Doc 'Q' has found the answer to all of our problems." called Mar.
"So you guys think we can use this new 'Shenron' to just wish all this shit away like a bad dream eh?" asked Don Poporo. The chromos stood at 1100 and the Angels, Edna, Ella, Don, Anton, Andy Gooley, Charlie Garner, Uncle Vito and Doctor Cueball were all on an intervid link conference relay call. "No offense, Katie but we did er try this before you know." said Andy Gooley. "Several times if I recall correctly." put in Charlie Garner. "And it still didn't work." agreed Anton Gustav. "C'mon now chaps! Let's give it the old college try one last time! Right?" said Uncle Vito Galadriel. "Couldn't hurt." chuckled Legato Bluesummers, startling the Hell out of everyone!
He had been ordered to find the 'Black Ember' so he'd taken Han Solo, the 'Gunsmith Cats' (Rally and Mae) and KR with him on the 'Donnatella' along cith Cy, the 'Justice League' and the remaining 'Teen Titans'.
"Do I take it, sir, that you have located the 'Black Ember', Mr. Bluesummers?" asked 'Q' excitedly.
"You can, Doc. We spotted her halfway to Terra and hailed 'em. Now they're headed back to 'Furool' so we are returning to base. Bluesummers out." said the BetaZoid ex-gang leader.
"That's a break, Boss. Bulma can use her dragonball radar thingy to find the balls and summon good ol' 'Shenron Jr.' for us. Hooray!" cheered Kome.
"Did ya forget the date, kiddo? Her radar crap won't work until almost March and before you all suggest that we help her look for 'em may I remind ya that until then those balls look like just plain old rocks or stones!" said Edna sadly.
"Yet that is exactly oro you are going to do- all of you. I am hereby commandeering all of our ships and all civilian ships to assist you in the search for those pesky dragon balls. Our resident 'Namekian'- Earth's guardian Dende has assured me that those balls will be detectable in another week's time. All of our starships as well as all civilian ships I can get hold of have or will have the ability to scan for energy discharges and that is precisely how you'll be able to locate the balls. Marshall (Kei still wasn't used to that new title just like Yuri was not used to being called a Wing Commander yet either) O'Halloran, all leaves and vacations are either cancelled or delayed as of now. Gomen er I am very sorry but saving this universe of ours must take precedence over everything else so get the 'Angel' out there and start looking! You all have your orders. Get a move on your asses!" said Gooley.
And so- the mighty hunt was ON! However, on March 3rd they did take a break for Yuri's birthday bash and then again on March 18th to celebrate Yuyu's date of birth. She insisted on sharing her special day with Keisie whose own birthday of November 27th had not really been a happy one for obvious reasons! (AN- Reread the first ten chapters if you have forgotten why).
On April 12th with four of the necessary seven dragon balls stowed safely away aboard the 'Lady Foucault' the gang took another break at 'Denethor' to celebrate the beginning of 'Sakura Festival' season. All of the kiddies loved that, however, Ed the tomboy gal was sad that Mooney, Rinnie and the scouts had to miss out on all of the fun and games.
