The Symbiote Saiyan Book 5: The Tienshinhan Saga

Tien and Chiaotzu

"Launch." Venom said as he gently nudged Launch to wake her up. He would normally wake up his friends in a rougher manner, though he knew to take extra care with the blonde. After camping for several months, she would at most times wake up by instinctively punching Goku or Venom in the face. Sometimes she even took a gun out of her bed and shot him several times before realizing who he was and quickly apologizing for it. Funny how Pistole was never the one to inflict pain if it was him. Venom found it weird.

"Five more minutes hubby, I promise." Launch muttered, only a quarter awake. They didn't realize it but Launch was having a dream of an adult Goku on their honeymoon. She uncharacteristicly smiled after Venom had nudged her in the back, feeling the warmth from his gooy hand.

"What's a hubby?" Venom asked his host.

"I don't know. I bet it's food." Goku said, not realizing she meant husband. Yes at this point in his life, Goku knew the basic details of what marriage was thanks to Bulma and Launch.

"You try to wake her up, we don't want to get punched." Venom suggested as he slithered back into Goku.

"But we will end up feeling it anyway." Goku said, fearful of what Launch's reaction might be.

"Just do it." Venom ordered.

"Launch wake up. I already packed everything else and it's already 10:28am. We need to-" Goku gently said as he continued to nudge Launch awake.

"WHO HAS THE FREAKING BALLS TO WAKE ME UP!!!!" Launch screamed as she punched the terrified Goku in the head, making him fly backwards. She then took out her assault rifle and aimed it at the boy before realizing what happened.

"Ow. Our head." Said the dazed Goku and Venom. His swirling eyes and the birds circling around his head certainly backed up his statement.

"Oh shit. Not again." Launch said as she tossed the gun aside and got an ice pack out to tend to the teen's head.

"WHAT IN KAMI'S NAME WERE YOU THINKING!!! YOU HURT OUR FUTURE HUSBAND!!!! AGAIN!!!!" Pistole scolded in her head.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry." Launch apologized.

"DON'T APOLOGIZE TO US!!!! APOLOGIZE TO GOKU AND VENOM!!!" Pistole demanded.

"Sorry, I have been trying to curb that habit." Launch said as she pressed the ice pack against Goku's head.

"At least we know you like us." Goku said, completely shocking Launch.

"WHAT?! YOU KNEW AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!!" Launch shrieked, jumping back as her cheeks grew a deep shade of red.

"Of course." Goku stated.

"It's like how we like the Rock Hopper, the Swine, and the Hobbit. We punch them just like you punch us so you must like us that way." Venom added in as his head slithered out of Goku's shoulder since the coast was clear.

"Urgh, of course you do." Launch groaned, realizing what he meant. Goku/Venom thought it was a platonic affection rather than a romantic feeling since she, along with Venom and Pistole, liked to cause to physical torment on a regular basis to their male friends. Yamcha, Krillin, Oolong, and on rare occasions Master Roshi had to receive some symbiote love so adding Goku/Venom to her list wouldn't seem out of the question for him.

"You did make it look like your atypical symbiote punch! We can't wait to see them during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament. Hayden Crywalker, Baldo Baggins, and Tepig won't know what hit them. Oo, maybe we can even hit Dumbleperv. Not sure if hitting Wolverine is a good idea though." Pistole said with some sinister glee.
