First Entrance

[kamehamehaaa]

The relative quiet of the bar is broken when the door is abruptly smashed through by a small person being thrown backwards. He slides a good twenty metres through the bar, knocking tables and chairs over and finally comes to a halt colliding with the bar.

Gohan scrambles to his feet, hands in defence position, while he tries to work out what just happened. Is Nappa still in here somewhere?

Someone is peering at him from the bartop, where she had sprung out of the way when he came barrelling into her stool.

Someone in blonde and jeans and frizz and silver and bright, inquisitive eyes.

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan senses a chi, unknown strength, very close, and looks up. His hands glow slightly.

"Who are you? Are you with Nappa?"

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

She tsks, slightly, shaking her head at him.

"Unwise. I am unlikely to be 'with' you if you threaten, first off, no?" She points out helpfully.

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan relaxes the glow at once, not least because he's already low on energy.

"Sorry, you startled me and I was getting ready to defend myself. I don't start fights."

This is true. Though sometimes he finishes them.

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"This is probably a good policy, here." She fails to apologize for startling him - he knocked her barstool away, after all.

[kamehamehaaa]

Fry summons up enough energy to fly up to the rafters, where he feels slightly safer.

"Where is here please?"

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

She watches him in a manner not unlike a cat watching birds flutter around in the garden.

"Here is a bar at the end of the universe. And they actually have a decent budweiser."

This is, Katya feels, high praise.

[kamehamehaaa]

"How did I get here, and what's a budweiser?" Gohan asks, imagining it to be some sort of animal."

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"Through the door, and a drink, which when done right, is delicious." Katya replies, settling on to one of the undisturbed stools.

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan drops down and starts putting the furniture back up.

"I'm Gohan. Who are you? Your chi is higher than most humans."

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"I am Katya, and the reason for that is very simple - I am not human." Sometimes, it seems, the easiest answer is the correct one. She's familiar with the Eastern terms for things she deals with every day - her training abroad included a few weeks in Japan and China (and a run-in with a dragon).

[kamehamehaaa]

"Me neither." Gohan says. "But there's only three of us."

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

She shrugs, slightly. Were only three, would be a more correct reckoning to her mind, but she's not exactly keen to argue world views.

"Small parties, then."

[kamehamehaaa]

"One of them's about to try and kill me." Gohan says. "The other one's my Dad, who already got killed, but he'll be back soon."

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"Very small parties. At least no one will steal the liquor." Honestly, she's just waiting for the shoe to drop. of course, considering the altering dimensions of this place, that could take a while.

[kamehamehaaa]

"... wait, why am I standing here when the others could be getting killed?!" Gohan says, looking around rapidly for a way out.

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"Because of my scintillating wit?" Katya hazards. "I thought you said the other one was trying to kill you. Why in such a rush?"

[kamehamehaaa]

"Because Kuririn's down and there's only me left between Nappa and the Earth now that... now that Mr Piccolo is dead."

He wipes his nose, trying to keep the tears out of his eyes. There's got to be a way to get Piccolo back!

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"Nah, never that. You're obviously not alone - you're talking with someone, no?" Katya's grin starts somewhere in her eyes - her physical grin is just the overflow.

[kamehamehaaa]

"I don't know if you could take on Nappa." Gohan says. "I mean, you've got a high chi, but he and Vegeta... are amazingly powerful."

[katyafeline.livejournal.com]

"... Vegeta?" She is doing a very good job at not giggling, but it is taking quite a lot of her composure to do so.


...


Vegeta.

[kamehamehaaa]

"You've heard of him?"

[basic_powers]

"Whoa!" There's motion above in one of the rafters and a comic book fluttering down to the floor. "What the..."

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan, terrified by the person who just flung him in, accidentally blasts the comic. Then looks startled when it's just paper.

"I-I'm sorry!"

[basic_powers]

"...eep." Tyler's going to look at the utterly destroyed copy of Earth Defense League #87 and then back at the kid. "Erm...that's...it's okay."

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan powers down. In fact, he pretty much collapses onto all fours. The last blast in the battle outside used more or less all his energy; exploding a comic used the last drop.

[basic_powers]

...it's going to be a moment before Tyler's gotten down to near Gohan's side.

"...hey....you okay?"

[kamehamehaaa]

"I'm okay." Gohan says. It's a total lie, he's utterly exhausted, from the last blast he used to try and avenge Piccolo...

"Please don't kill me."

[basic_powers]

"...why in the name of Tobin's painted butt would I do that?" Tyler responds, instead trying to get Gohan onto two feet. "It was just a comicbook...not worth someone's life."

[kamehamehaaa]

"I... I wasn't sure if you're with Nappa. How did I get here?"

He gets onto his feet, but he'd probably be better in a chair.

"I'll pay you back for your comic but I don't have any money on me right now."

[basic_powers]

"Magic portal randomly opened up through whatever door you just got blasted in by." Tyler answers absently, helping the younger child to a chair that he didn't knock down. "Don't worry too much about the comic book."

[kamehamehaaa]

"Thanks." Gohan says, sitting down in the chair. He could badly use a senzu bean around now.

"I'm Gohan."

[basic_powers]

"I'm Tyler...hold on. I'll bring a snack." Because if Gohan doesn't look like a poster for adrenaline crashing right now...

[kamehamehaaa]

Gohan watches him go, gratefully. He could definitely go for a snack.

[basic_powers]

When Tyler comes back it's with some old familiar favorites Gohan might recognize. A very large tray of riceballs and meat roasted on the bone, something Tyler's working to bring over.

"I'll have to go back for some drinks..but I asked Miss Bar what'd be a good snack to give you back some energy and this is what she gave me."

[kamehamehaaa]

"Thanks." Gohan says, tucking in hungrily. The food doesn't last long.

Saiyans have quite an appetite.

[basic_powers]

...Tyler's just going to be glad his hands weren't anywhere near that tray as he watches Gohan quickly devour everything.

"...Welcome to Milliways."

[kamehamehaaa]

"Thanf. What'f Milliwayf?" Gohan asks.

Can't stop, eating, sorry.
