The Symbiote Saiyan Book 5: The Tienshinhan Saga

Victory and Death

"You did it Launch!!! You won!!!" Goku and Venom yelled as he took Launch and pulled her in for a tight hug. Launch's face became beat red, as the entire crowd cheered her name.

"LAUNCH! LAUNCH! LAUNCH!"

"PISTOLE! PISTOLE! PISTOLE!"

"Way a go Launch!" Krillin said.

"Even I have to say it, you did good." Bulma admitted as she put the Rescue helmet away.

"You did good kid." Wolverine said, showing a rare smile.

"Yeah, you even did as great me. At least almost." Yamcha boosted.

"You said it Yamcha!" Puar cheered.

"Oh boy." Oolong said, resisting to correct Puar and Yamcha.

"I got to admit it. You showing Tien who's boss. You were hot out there." Violet said.

"I hope that means you're not going to annoy Launch like you annoy me?" Bulma questioned.

"Nahhhh, Launch isn't really my type. We all know you are still the apple of my eye Bulma darling." Violet said in a flirtatious manner.

"What Miss Killgrave said is correct. There is no need to feel jealous." Jarvis reassured.

"Why in Kami's name would I be jealous!?!?!?!?!" Bulma shouted furiously.

"You did good out there." Turtle said as he and Master Roshi approached the two symbiotes.

"Yes, you have come a long way from the woman who used to rob banks for a living. You have matured and grown into the most powerful and leading example of what a woman should be." Roshi congratulated.

"It was fun to watch you grow and strong along the way." Goku said.

"We are proud to have met you Launch." Venom said, giving a toothy smile.

"Thanks ya big lug. We couldn't have done it without you." Launch said as she punch Venom in the shoulder.

"Along with everyone else. Even Hayden Crywalker." Pistole said, giving a rare compliment to Yamcha.

"Wait, did Pistole just say something nice to me?" Yamcha asked in disbelief.

"I think she did." Krillin confirmed.

"Shut up Hayden Crywalker and Baldo Baggins. Otherwise, we will web you in the face like we did with Tepig and Dumbleperv." Pistole threatened.

"Though we all knew it wasn't going to last." Krillin added.

"Tien!" Chiaotzu cried as he flew towards his best friend.

"Chiaotzu, did you like the fight?" Tien asked.

"I did! I'm sorry you lost. How do you feel?" The psychic fighter asked.

"Actually, strangely great." Tien said, as he could feel a strange sensation within his body. Is this what serene self-fulfillment felt like? No, this was something different.

"Hey Tien." Launch called, still within Venom's embrace.

"Yeah Launch, what is it?" Tien asked.

"You were great out there. Let's battle again sometime." Launch requested.

"Yeah, sure thing." Tien agreed, giving a thumbs up.

"And us too." Venom said.

"Yeah, last time our fight got interrupted. We need to decide who is the strongest between us." Goku said as everyone laughed.
