The Symbiote Saiyan Book 2: The Tournament Saga

Milk Bell

Master Roshi opened the door ajar and peered inside the bedroom of his three students. Looking around and seeing that they were all asleep, Roshi quietly stepped in without making a squeak on the wooden floor. Once he was completely inside, Master Roshi slowly removed the gong from his wide sleeve. Upon lifting his hand Roshi was about to strike the gong when he heard something.

"Grrrr...." Came a low alien growl from Goku's bed.

Roshi lowered his hand, looking in Goku's direction. There seemed to be no movement whatsoever and the child was fast asleep. Roshi then lifted his hand again to strike the gong when he heard the motionless noise once more.

"Grrrr...." Came from Goku's bed, this time a little louder.

"I know something bad is going to happen if I ring this gong, but is it going to be worth the trouble?" Roshi thought. "Hehehe OF COURSE IT IS!"

Just as Roshi was about to bang it, a loud black arm shot out of Goku's bed and punched Roshi in the stomach sending the hermit to crash through the door. This caused Krillin and Launch to wake up to the startling noise as Venom rushed out of bed to catch the gong before it hit the ground.

"WE SAID NO MORE BELLS!" Venom shouted as he crushed the gong with one hand. Then he smashed the glass to the bedroom window and threw the crushed gong I into the horizon.

"Why did you do that?" Roshi screamed. "That was from Master Korrin!"

"We don't care if it's from any Master Korean! That bell belongs in the fires from which it came!" Venom shouted.

"For the last time, it's not a bell. It's a gong." Krillin corrected.

"You really are testing our patience little hobbit." Venom growled menacingly.

"I am not a hobbit, I'm-" Krillin said before Venom lunged at him, tackling the bald monk to the ground. Master Roshi did his best break up the fight, but because he was originally part of the problem, they refused to listen to him. Thankfully, order came from the most unlikely source.

"Dat's enough!" Blonde Launch screamed as she fired her tommy gun into the air, putting holes in the ceiling. All three men looked at her with a mix fear and surprise. Nevertheless, it got everyone's attention to stop fighting.

"Look, I love a good fight and a little mayham, but now is not the time fer it." Launch stated. "We haven't finished today's training and I haven't had my coffee, so you don't want ta piss me off."

"Thank you Launch for getting everyone in line." Roshi said. "And I could be a little more grateful if-"

"Finish yer sentence and yer dead." Launch said lowering her rifle towards Roshi knowing exactly where the conversation was leading.

"Right." Roshi smiled nervously taking the hint that Launch did not want to get hit on. "Alright boys time to give you your training."

They all headed downstairs to find a sleeping Turtle and a few dozen crates full of milk glasses.

"So our breakfast is milk and Turtle, how delicious." Venom said.

"Even we don't think we can drink that much milk." Goku thought.

"I don't think even Goku and Venom can drink all this." Krillin said, not knowing that he said the same thing Goku thought. Venom frowned not liking the coincidence.

"You think that is too much, wait until you see outside." Roshi said opening the kitchen window. Venom, Krillin, and Launch stuck their heads out to be met with piles and piles of milk glasses in crates. They all stared in shock.
