Overkill sleeps quietly as Vegeta silently walks up to the little cot he was sleeping on. Vegeta growls under his breath looking at the unwanted “guest”. He places an alarm clock right next to Overkill’s head. Vegeta waits a few seconds and then the alarm goes off blaring right in Overkill’s ear. Overkill jerks up from the bed with a yell. “AHHH! What the heck is going on?!?” Overkill yells. “Time to get up Worm!” Vegeta yells throwing a towel on top of Overkill. “Take a shower, you smell awful,” Vegeta says jumping down the open door. Overkill hadn’t noticed how he smelled and Vegeta was right, he stunk!

 Overkill made his way down the little stairs that led to the attic and walked down the main stairs. He walked into the kitchen and finds Bulma busy cooking breakfast. “Oh hi Overkill, good mourning!” Bulma says. “Um hi Mrs…hey, what’s your last name?” Overkill says. “Aw just call me Bulma,” she says. “Ok, um Bulma? Where is the shower?” Overkill asks. “Down the hall and to your right, WHEW! You need it!” Bulma says covering her nose. Overkill walks down the hall and turns into the last room on the right. He sees a sink, a toilet, and a rack filled with towels. Overkill walks over to the shower. He saw some one using on of these on a thing called a television when he passed an electronics store. Overkill closes the door to the bathroom. He takes off his clothes and puts them on the floor. Overkill investigates the nozzles and tries to figure out which one to turn.

 Bra wakes up from her sleep by the smell of breakfast being made. Bra sits up and turns so that her feet touch the floor. She stretches and hears her back pop. “Oh that felt good,” Bra says standing up and going down stairs. “Hey mom, good mourning,” Bra says. “Good mourning Bra, breakfast will be done soon but not now,” Bulma says. “Ok mom,” Bra says walking out of the kitchen. Bra walks into the living room and sits down on the couch. “Ew,” Bra says, as she tastes the mourning breath in her mouth. She stands up and walks down the hallway. “I’ll just brush my teeth real quick and when I’m done breakfast should be done,” Bra says to herself. She stops right in front of the bathroom door. Sense the door is unlocked she proceeds to go inside.

 “Oh my god!” Bra yells as she looks upon Overkill’s bare muscular body. “What the?” Overkill says as he turns around and sees Bra. He stands strait up and puts his hands on his hips. Bra just stands and looks down on him. “Ec-hem! Do you mind?” Overkill says annoyed and giving Bra a cold look. “Oh yeah sorry!” Bra says running out of the room and slams the door behind her. She leans up against and exhales deeply as her face turns deep red with embarrassment.

 Breakfast is very quiet as Bra doesn’t look up in fear her eyes will meet with Overkill’s who she saw way too much of that mourning. Vegeta eats his breakfast as furiously as he fights. No one could eat as fast or as much as him except for Gokou. But this mourning he found a new contender as Overkill finishes off his breakfast way before Vegeta. “Have you had enough Overkill?” Bulma asks looking at Overkill finish off his thirtieth pancake. “Um yes mam,” Overkill says politely. Vegeta finishes off his food and stands up from the table. “Overkill, its time to train,” Vegeta says as he walks out of the dinning room. “How come I don’t think I’m going to like this?” Overkill thinks to himself. “Oh well I got to get to work,” Trunks says as he stands up from the table.

 Overkill follows Vegeta out side and waits for what Vegeta has in store for him. “Follow me,” Vegeta says as he powers up and rockets away into the air. “Don’t have much of a choice do I?” Overkill says to himself as he flies into the air after Vegeta. They fly far and fast, Vegeta doesn’t slow down but Overkill can keep up easily. “I wouldn’t mind it if you could tell me where we’re going!” Overkill yells to Vegeta. Vegeta ignores him and increases speed. “You know you got a real attitude problem!” Overkill yells. Vegeta ignores him and grits his teeth. Overkill can tell he is getting on Vegeta’s nerves but he is enjoying every minute of it. After a couple of minutes of silence Overkill decides to break the silence. “I’m so glad you’re suck a great conversationalist!” Overkill says to Vegeta. Vegeta just ignores him once again and continues flying.

 Vegeta finally lands in an open area and look around for any sign of life. Satisfied that he has found a suitable training area Vegeta looks up at Overkill who is now landing next to Vegeta. “Stand here,” Vegeta says to Overkill. “Why?” Overkill asks. “Shut up kid! I’m the teacher here! You do as I say or you will not be trained!” Vegeta snaps at Overkill. Overkill keeps down his temper and stands where he is told.

 Vegeta walks around Overkill planting what seem to be green seeds around him in a circle. “What are you doing?” Overkill asks watching Vegeta. Vegeta just ignores him yet again and continues his task. After planting all the green seeds Vegeta backs away. “First I’m going to see how you handle a multiple attack,” Vegeta says. “If my memory serves me you all ready saw me in a multiple attack situation,” Overkill says smiling. “Yes I have, you could use some work in that area,” Vegeta says. “Well then where are my sparring partners?” Overkill asks. “They should be popping up right about…now!” Vegeta says as little green men pop up from the place that he planted the little green seeds. “These are Saibamen, they aren’t very powerful but they should test you,” Vegeta says smiling. Ten Saibamen walk around Overkill in a circle, they laugh maliciously as they move closer and closer to Overkill. Overkill does nothing and just stands in one spot. He looks forward and doesn’t look at any of the Saibamen. Their existence to him seems to not be noticed.

 One of the Saibamen apparently gets annoyed and leaps at Overkill. Finally Overkill moves as he takes out his sword and cuts the Saibamen’s head off. All at once the others attack, all aiming at Overkill’s head. But they get nothing as Overkill teleports out of site. He reappears several feet in the air above the Saibamen. An energy ball forms in his right hand. He smiles wickedly and launches the energy ball at the Saibamen. A flash of light, a loud explosion, and the Saibamen are gone. Overkill lands in the spot the Saibamen once where and looks over to Vegeta. Vegeta is almost amused as Overkill gives him a sly smile.

 “Next, Weapons,” Vegeta says holding a broad sword in his hands. “Heh, cool!” Overkill says taking his Katana out of the sheath on his back. Vegeta gets into his fighting form with sword in hand. Overkill just stands straight holding his Katana. Vegeta powers up and gets a tighter grip on his sword. “Shall we?” Overkill says with a smirch. “Let’s go you stupid little…” Vegeta is cut short by Overkill hitting him in the head with the butt of his Katana. Vegeta recovers and swings his sword, which comes close to decapitating Overkill. Overkill swings a series of swipes with his Katana, but Vegeta easily blocks them. “You are good,” Vegeta says. “Better than you,” Overkill says swinging his sword at Vegeta’s head. His sword chops of a loch of Vegeta’s hair and he kicks Vegeta in the side. Vegeta backs away and feels his head. “You little…” He says as he pulls out the cut pieces of his hair, “ Do you know how long it took me to grow my hair this long?” Vegeta yells enraged. Vegeta leaps into the air at Overkill. He comes down on top of Overkill with his sword above his head. He brings it down hard and hits Overkill’s sword, knocking it out of Overkill’s hands. Vegeta then backhands Overkill to the ground. Overkill painfully sits up and notices the tip of Vegeta’s sword was in his face. “Congratulations, You’ve just been killed,” Vegeta says throwing down his sword. Overkill sneers and gets up from the ground.

 The rest of the day goes the exact same way. Defeat after defeat Overkill experiences and he starts to lose his temper. A little sparring took care of that but once again he is defeated by a powerful Vegeta who is enjoying himself the whole time. “Take this! MACHINE GUN BLAST!” Overkill yells as he fires several Ki blasts continuously from his palms. Vegeta teleports back and forth dodging the Ki blasts easily. Overkill launches himself at Vegeta seeing his multiple Ki attack didn’t work. Overkill kicks at Vegeta only to find nothing but air as Vegeta teleports high into the sky. Not wasting any time, Overkill leaps into the air after Vegeta. Vegeta cups his hands and brings them behind him. Overkill continues to fly at him expecting a Kamehameha but is disappointed.  Vegeta throws both palms forward while yelling “ Galick Gun fire!” Overkill is engulfed by a violent purple beam of energy and rides it all the way to the ground. The explosion is brilliant and the dust fills the air. The cloud of dust and ash dissipates and a very sore Overkill is revealed. Overkill holds his chest and breaths deeply. Vegeta lands in front of him and smiles. “ Once again, you have just been killed!” Vegeta says.
“Today’s training is over,” Vegeta says as he lifts himself into the air with his chi. Vegeta flies away in the direction of his home. Overkill stands to his feet still holding his side. He spits some blood onto the ground and flies away in the direction Vegeta had went. Overkill flies slowly towards Vegeta’s house.

Night falls before Overkill reaches “home”. He knocks on the door of his temporary “home” and is let in by Bulma. “You poor thing!” Bulma says as Overkill limps into the house holding his side. “I’m ok,” He says walking into the living room. He plops down on the couch and exhales. “Vegeta right?” Bulma asks standing in front of Overkill. “Yeah, but I’m ok, training was rough,” Overkill says. “It’s nothing though, I’ve already started healing,” Overkill says.

“You know what? Goten, Trunks, and Ubuu are going out to the carnival, you should go with them, get used to Earthlife,” Bulma says. “No thanks I’ll just rest in my cot and heal,” Overkill says getting up from the couch with a loud groan. He walks up to the attic and closes the door behind him. A knock on the door attracts Bulma’s attention. She gets up off the couch and walks to the door. She opens the door to see Goten on the other side.

“ Hi Bulma!” Goten says cheerfully. “Hi Goten, Trunks will be ready soon, he’ll be down in a minute,” Bulma says, “Have a seat,” “Thanks,” Goten says sitting down on the couch. “Goten can I ask you to do something for me?” Bulma says. “Yeah of course I can,” Goten says cheerfully. “Will you take Overkill along with to the carnival?” Goten’s cheerfulness fades away. “Well…um…um,” Goten says trying to come up with an acceptable excuse. “You said you would do this for me didn’t you?” Bulma says. “Ok Bulma, I’ll do it,” Goten says almost regretting him saying that he was going to do her a favor. “Thank you Goten,” Bulma says happily. “Go up and tell Trunks,” Bulma says happily.

“WHAT!” Trunks yells out loud. “Calm down man,” Goten says to his best friend. “She wants us to take him?” Trunks says astonished. “It can’t be that bad, he’s a teen he should know how to have fun,” Goten says. “He’ll probably end up massacring all the people!” Trunks says throwing his hands into the air. “Cool down Trunks!” Goten says. Trunks sighs loudly and says “Ok,”
Overkill hears a knock on the door to the attic. He sits up out of his bed and walks to the door. He opens it to find both Trunks and Goten at the door. “What do you want?” Overkill says coldly. “Hey Overkill want to come with us to the carnival?” Goten asks with a large smile on his face. Overkill looks at them crossly with one eyebrow cocked. “Well do you want to come or not?” Goten asks.
“I would but I don’t have any other clothes other than the ones I have on,” Overkill says even though he knows if he did have other clothes he still wouldn’t come. “I have some clothes you can borrow,” Trunks says putting some clothes in Overkill’s arms. “Well…I…um,” Overkill sighs, “Ok, I’ll come,”

“Good, we’ll be down stairs waiting for you,” Goten says. Goten and Trunks leave Overkill to change. Overkill shakes his head pitifully realizing that he has been completely screwed over.

 “So where you guys going?” Bra asks Trunks. “The carnival down by the pier,” Trunks says putting on his brown leather jacket. “Ok, I’ll see you guys later,” Bra says to Goten and Trunks. “We aren’t leaving yet, we need our other guy,” Goten says.
“Oh, Ubuu is meeting you here?” Bra says.

“No we are picking him up on the way. We’re waiting for Overkill,” Trunks says to Bra. Bra’s mouth hangs open. “You’re taking Overkill?” Bra says astonished. “Yeah so?” Goten says.  “Well it’s just…um… nothing,” Bra says. Both Goten and Trunks know why she’s surprised she and a lot of other people don’t yet trust Overkill. “Well just keep an eye on him,” Bra says sitting down on the old worn couch. She flips through a teen magazine as she looks up and sees something she didn’t expect to see.

 Overkill walks out wearing the clothes Trunks had given him. He was wearing a black T-shirt tucked into his baggy khaki pants. The T-shirt fit him snugly and showed off his muscles perfectly. He still wore the fingerless black leather gloves.  Every one looks at him and all think the same thing. “Wow he can actually look like a normal person,” Trunks jokes to Goten in a low voice so only Goten would hear. Bra looks at Overkill in amazement, if she wasn’t so into Goten she might have been interested in Overkill. Overkill exhales deeply not wanting to go to the stupid little carnival. “Ok I’m ready now,” Overkill says walking to Trunks and Goten who were waiting at the door. “Then lets go!” Goten says opening the door.

 All three of them walk out to Trunks’ hover car and get inside. Trunks and Goten get in the front while Overkill gets in the back. Trunks puts the key in the ignition and smiles as the engine roars to life. Trunks speeds away as Goten and Overkill hold onto the car. “Um… good buddy could you slow it down a bit?” Goten says clinching his teeth. “I’ve been stuck behind a desk all day and I need to have some fun!” Trunks says as he makes a very sharp right turn almost hitting a light post.

 They start to go by an ice cream parlor and waiting outside on the corner is a young man. “There’s Ubuu!” Goten says pointing in his direction. Trunks pulls over in front of Ubuu and waves for him to come inside the car. Ubuu shows his big toothy grin and walks up to the car. He opens the door and sits down in the back seat. Ubuu looks over and sees Overkill, naturally being nice he holds out his hand to shake Overkill’s. Overkill looks down at his hand and then turns away. “Yeah glad to make your acquaintance too,” Ubuu says bitterly under his breath. The rest of the trip was very silent except for Trunks and Goten in the front seat.

 Trunks pulls up in front of the carnival entrance and stops. Trunks turns around and looks over the seat at Overkill. “Hey Overkill, you mind not going by the name Overkill tonight. I mean there are going to be a lot of nice ladies out here and we don’t want your name scaring them off,” Trunks says over the seat. Overkill looks at Trunks crossly but sees what he is talking about. “Ok for this night and JUST for this night call me by my real name Vertell,” Overkill says. “Ok Vertell the turtle it is!” Trunks says smiling. They can feel his Chi rising with anger. “Chill out man! It was just a joke!” Trunks says. Overkill calms down and opens the door to get out. Once Overkill gets out Goten turns to the others “We need to teach this kid to have some fun! You with me?” Goten says. Trunks and Ubuu nod their heads in agreement. Then they get out of the car to join Overkill.

 The four young men walk into the Carnival with large smiles on their faces all except Overkill. Ubuu smiles as a group of four beautiful girls passes by smiling at them. “Search and destroy,” Goten says as his eyes follow the girls. “First lets play some games!” Trunks says. “Yeah,” Goten agrees. “I feel like getting aquatinted with those girls over there,” Ubuu says pointing to the four ladies that passed them up earlier. “I’m with Ubuu on that,” Goten says looking over to the girls that are now looking back. “Sounds like a plan to me,” Trunks says as a blonde member of the group smiles at him. “Let’s go then,” Goten says as he starts to walk over to the group of girls. Trunks and Ubuu follow while Overkill lags behind slowly.

 “Hello ladies,” Goten says leaning up against the ring toss both they where in front of. “Hi,” a tall brunet says smiling to him.  The other girls smile as Trunks and Ubuu join Goten. “You all are looking very nice today,” Trunks says. The girls smile and giggle a bit. “Aren’t you the president of Capsule Corp?” The blonde girl asks. “Yes I am,” Trunks responds. “Maybe one day you can give me a tour of the company,” The blonde says leaning up against Trunks. “Maybe one day I will,” Trunks says with a sly grin on his face. Goten is very surprised, Trunks is usually very shy around girls and will usually become very clumsy. But tonight he was smooth and very cool around the girls. “So what’s your name?” a tall light chocolate skinned girl asks Ubuu. “My name is Ubuu,” Ubuu says smiling. “Really? Want to be my boo?” She says pressing her chest up against Ubuu’s. Ubuu is speechless and just smiles.

“Who’s your friend?” The other black girl asks Goten pointing to Overkill. Overkill stands ten feet away from the group and leans up against the dunking tank with his arms crossed. “Him? His name is Vertell. He’s a bit shy,” Goten says and then leans in closer to the girl and whispers in her ear, “Maybe you could change that about him” Goten smiles and leans away from the girls ear. The girl then leans in and whispers into Goten’s ear; “ It would be my pleasure” The tall leggy girl walks over to Overkill and runs her hand up and down his arm feeling his biceps. “Hey baby I’m Celine, wanna get to know each other?” she says. “Um…um…” Overkill starts to sweat a little bit and even though he has milk chocolate skin you could see his face turn a little red. “Well uh,” Overkill says. He looks to Goten for support. Goten just makes a nodding motion. “Ok,” Overkill says nervously his voice cracking a little bit.

The group of now eight walk side by side through out the carnival. Ubuu, Trunks, and Goten look comfortable but Overkill’s face stays red as Celine hangs on his arm. “So what do you guys do for fun?” the blonde asks as she leans up against Trunks her head lying on his shoulder. “Fight,” is the answer she gets from all four of the guys. “You guys are tournament fighters?” she asks. “Pretty much yeah,” Goten says. “What martial arts do you take?” Celine asks the guys. “Kung Fu mainly,” Trunks answers. Celine looks down at Overkill and becomes very interested in something on him. “Hey Vertell, what’s with the tail?” she asks pointing to his Sayajin tail. “He’s a Sayajin, actually we all are except for Ubuu,” Trunks says. Overkill sees his tail is a distraction to Celine so he wraps it around his waist. “Ok just wondering,” Celine says and continues to lay her head on Overkill’s shoulder.

A large group of young white men pass by laughing and snickering. “Ignore them,” the blonde girl says turning her head away from the group. “They go to our school and they are very racist,” The black girl hanging on Ubuu’s arm says. “Well looky here!” One of the white boys says walking in the way of Goten and the brunet on his arm. He is a very large man with a shaved head and bulging muscles. “Excuse us,” Goten says trying to walk around the man. The man gets in his way again and pushes him. “Hey pal! Sick of being with your little Charlie girlfriends?” He pushes Goten again. “Hey we don’t want any trouble!” Goten says trying to stay calm even after the racist comment. “Hey calm down,” Trunks says walking up to the man. The other members of the white group join the large man at his side. Ubuu walks up and joins Goten and Trunks. They may not be human but racist comments still effect them.
Overkill stands back and just watches. “What do you want Darky?” the man says referring to Ubuu. Ubuu grits his teeth and barely keeps himself from firing a Ki blast at the racist pig. Goten, Trunks, and Ubuu give them a cold glance and the group of white men feel their anger rising and the men start to back off a bit. Goten, Trunks, Ubuu and every one else walk around the group and walk on. Overkill is impressed by how Goten, Trunks and Ubuu handled the situation. They walk on but hear the large white man yell after them. “Run away you bunch of NIGGERS, CHINKS, AND SKANKS!” as the man says this all four of the men stop in their tracks. Overkill didn’t want to get involved but now they just called him a nigger. He wasn’t about to take that! Those kinds of insults were known through out the universe. The three girls feel their anger and back away in fear. The men can feel it too. “You want to fight? We’ll give you a fight!” The large white man says picking up a large pipe. The other men do the same and prepare for a fight.

Overkill’s anger reaches its peak and his hair turns golden in his rage. He goes Super Sayajin without thinking, without knowing he has. “Uh oh,” Goten says under his breath. “Calm down man! They aren’t worth killing,” Goten says to Overkill. Overkill cannot hear him he is in a silent rage. Overkill holds up his two fingers of his right hand and a small explosion goes off next to the group of white men. More and more small explosions go off scaring the men and forcing them to run away. They scatter quickly and run away. Overkill satisfied that they are gone starts to calm down and goes out of his Super Sayajin form.

“H…how did he do that?” Celine asks scared. “Sorry sometimes I lose my temper,” Overkill says to Celine. “O…ok then,” Celine says with a nervous smile on her face. The other girls are speechless as they walk with the group. They constantly look back at Overkill expecting to see another moment of rage.

 The night goes by without a hitch and they all have fun, even Overkill loosened up and had fun. He had knocked the man down in the water tank ten times and won a large stuffed bear for Celine. It was now late, about one in the mourning to be exact. The four guys walked out of the carnival to Trunks’ waiting car. Ubuu, Trunks, and Goten get inside while Overkill hears someone yelling his name. He turns around to find Celine running after him. She stops in front of him and catches her breath, and then she stands strait and looks at Overkill. “I had a good time tonight even if those jerks tried to ruin it,” she says with a smile on her face. “And I thank you for getting rid of them,” She continues. She leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Overkill blushes and smiles back at her. “That was for getting rid of them,” she says smiling. She then wraps her arms around Overkill’s neck and kisses him long and hard on the lips. She stops and looks at Overkill’s steady reddening face. “That was for being a very sweet guy,” She says letting go of Overkill’s neck and stepping back. “Hope I can meet you again some time, bye Vertell,” She says as she walks back into the carnival to join her friends who watched the whole thing and gossiped loudly. Overkill watches speechlessly as Celine walks away. He blushes and smiles as he sits down inside of Trunks car. He notices everyone is looking and smiling at him. “What?” Overkill says trying to look offended. “AWWW it’s so cute!” Goten says jokingly. Trunks and Ubuu breakout in laughter. Overkill crosses his arms and looks angry but it doesn’t work they know he liked the kiss and that he had a great time. He can’t help but smile as Ubuu tackles him and wrestles around with him. “That’s my boy!” Ubuu says jokingly to Overkill.

 They drive home laughing loudly and having a great time. Trunks drops Ubuu off at the ice cream parlor and wave bye as he flies away to his home. Goten also gets out and flies home to the Son house. Trunks and Overkill drive home joking and laughing all the way. Overkill never thought that he would ever be happy again since the death of his family. Overkill and Trunks sneak into the house and get to their rooms silently. “Good night,” Overkill says to Trunks as he goes in his room. “You too,” Trunks answers. Overkill gets into his bed and closes his eyes. The dream of his family returns to him and once again causes him to sleep uneasy but now it just didn’t effect him as much.
