Intro: When Lightning Strikes

Author's Note: I have no idea how I even came up with this. All I remember is that it had something to do with me thinking of a good story idea, then considered aspects of my life, most particularly the fact that when I sit in the car when my parents are driving, I have this odd habit of listening to my MP4 while watching a DVD player at the same time, so I decided that would be a good place to start. Well anyway, enjoy!

Cloud, or Colin as he was named at birth had never really been a normal kid. For one, he preferred speaking Japanese over English at school. Secondly, he was the only non-Asian in his high school who learnt Kung Fu, and was better than most of the others. Finally, he bordered on being a super-computer when it came to knowing about anything related to video games. Not that his younger brother Edward was any different, just not as eccentric as Cloud was. So now that you have probably guessed where Colin's name comes from, let us commence with the story.

It was a stormy afternoon when it happened. Cloud and Edward had just finished their Kung Fu lesson and were waiting for their dad to pick them up at their teacher's house. Their dad was a famous inventor who had been recently trying to invent a contraption which would supposedly absorb lightning and multiply its efficiency by a factor of 100 times before channeling it into an object. The siblings were currently sharing Cloud's MP4 when their dad finally arrived in the Holden. Waving goodbye to their teacher and friend Jason, they ran through the rain before getting into the back, being squished together while having to sit next to the cube which took up the rest of the car. "Now, don't touch the button, or the lightning absorber will activate," said their dad wryly before starting the drive back home.

Edward sighed, before reaching under the seat and withdrawing a DVD player. Cloud leaned closer as Edward turned it on, revealing the menu for the first disc of their new purchase, Saiyan Showdown. Edward pushed the button to start playing the episodes in chronological order, beginning with the first episode, showing a spacepod, before shifting to a scene of Goku outside his house. Cloud, seeing that this would interest him more than listening to "Chase Of The Highway" promptly began to take out his MP4 to shut it off, not noticing his elbow pushed the button that their dad had explicitly told them not to push just 3 minutes ago. So it was no surprise that all 3 of the occupants of the car screamed in terror as a lightning bolt burned through the window and struck the machine, before the energy channeled into the nearest electronic, in this case, the DVD player, seeing as Cloud's MP4 had flown forward when he threw it in terror. Cloud and Edward screamed as the DVD player suddenly sucked them into it, sending them flying through a blue void. However, both of them stopped screaming when for the next 5 minutes, they were still flying through the void. "So, are we still falling?" asked Cloud.

"What do you think?" asked Edward pointing down, only to see that the blue void had become a rapidly closing patch of green. "AHHH!" screamed both in unison as they braced themselves before falling into the ground. Two thumps were heard as both of them groaned in pain before falling into silence. "Uh, shouldn't we be dead?" asked Edward. "Maybe Kung Fu helped out a lot?" asked Cloud before seeing a brown furry object protruding from the base of Edward's spine. "Uh, do you see what I see?" asked Cloud as he noticed Edward was also staring at the base of his back.

Another two screams filled the air on that day in one minute. "What are you two screaming about?" asked a third voice which both immediately recognized. Both looked up to see none other than Son Goku, the very character which they had been watching now 10 minutes ago. Both immediately fainted.

I'll leave it here as a cliffhanger. I know the chapter is short but its to serve as an intro, I'm not going to go ahead with this story unless I get at least 1 good review.
