A Hero's Weakness

Chapter 4: West City

The trio were now flying into West City. "Is this it, Master Roshi?" Goku asks. "Yep." Roshi sighs. "This is a big city!" Goku laughed. "A big city, a lot of trouble." Roshi shook his head, "It's not as fun as it seems. The one and only, West City."

They landed on the ground. "Alright, so where we going?" Goku was pumped. "We'll go towards the east. Shit, we'd be lucky if we made it there without trouble." Roshi says, as they head towards the sidewalk.

"Oh, uhm.." Goku and Nimbus look at each other, before looking ahead. Roshi wasn't paying attention, and walked on the road. A car, who was speeding, had to halt because of the old man.

"Hey! Watch it old man! I almost hit ya!" The driver shouted. Roshi raised a brow, "The light was red, you should've stopped anyway."

"Uhm, Master Roshi, that red light was for us." Goku chuckles nervously, before going to push Roshi off the road. "Uhm, excuse us..!"

The trio continued walking, until a man showed up with a cloak. He was looking at Goku. "Hey," He opened it, and the trio looked away, believing they were going to be flashed. "Want some guns? Limited edition." The man smiled.

"He's not interested." Roshi shoved past him, and the man looked back in disgust. Goku and Nimbus shrugged before smiling nervously at the man and following their master.

The man watched and scoffed, "Idiots."

The trio continued to walk, and went down a stairwell. "The end is coming..!" A poor man shouted. He went up to Nimbus, and grabbed his face, "I can feel it!" He was shaking and had tears stained on his face.

"Ignore him, he's mental." Roshi whispers to Goku, before grabbing his hand and pulling him forward. "Just look down. Stuff like this happens a lot."

Goku didn't say anything, but let Roshi do his thing.

"Trust me kiddo, I know how this city runs. It's full of evil, mental, and mean people. Just keep going and you'll be fine." Roshi says. Goku was taking note, and Nimbus was just observing the area.

West City was crowded, that's for sure. But it was very pretty too. It had large buildings and a lot of businesses. It would be spacious, if it wasn't for the crowds. It was a nice, sunny day out.

On the other side of the trio were four people. A long black haired man, who was named Yamcha, was talking, "I can't believe that happened.." He shook his head.

"Well, we're alive and that's all that matters." Tien, a bald headed man with a third eye says. "Was the fire before or after? I can't remember.." Chiaotzu, a short and a close friend of Tien's, says.

"After." Launch, a yellow haired girl who was Tien's girlfriend, says. "Don't even get me started with the crime rates. It's like the officers don't know what to do." Yamcha leaned against the wall.

The trio, however, noticed their complaints. Roshi looked at Goku, and smiled, pointing his head in their direction. Goku looked at Roshi and Nimbus, and smirked confidently.

He began to head their way.

"Literally, it's so damn annoying. It's like we have to do everything ourselves in this damn city. It's overpopulating." Launch crossed her arms.

"We just need something to–" Chiaotzu was cut off by a cricket chirping on the wall. Everyone screamed before Launch growled, "Damn it! Stop it!"

"That's it! I'm moving to East City! I can't handle being here anymore!" Yamcha got off the wall and got ready to leave, and so did everyone else, until Goku's voice rang.

"Heya–I mean, pardon me..!" Goku says, now more anxious. Everyone looked at him. "And who might you be?" Tien asks, looking Goku up and down.

"My name is Goku, and it seems to me, you guys need a hero." Goku placed his fists on his hips with a smile on his face. Launch looked at Tien then back at Goku, then laughed. "It seems? Look at this place. It's all over the place."
