Chapter 4

“I’m starving,” Trunks whined to himself while walking around the forest, trying to get back from
the cabin.  “I wonder what that thing was?  How come it scared that snake easily?” Trunks asked
himself.  “Oh goody!” he exclaimed when he saw a berry patch.  He ran to it and began to pick its
fruits and gobbled them up.  “Yuuum!  These are great!” he mumbled for his mouth was full of
berries.

Trunks then heard a growl.  He turned his head around slowly and saw it was a bear.
“Waaaahhhh!  A BEAR!” he screamed.  “This is definitely not my day,” he thought nervously.

The bear growled at him again, as if it was saying “Why’d you eat my berry patch?!  With that
you shall pay!”  The bear stood up on two feet to look taller and to intimidate Trunks more.  It
raised its left paw to strike Trunks.

“This is it!” Trunks whimpered as he closed his eyes, expecting death.  Suddenly the bear growled
in pain.  “What the?” he asked himself, opening his eyes.  He saw there was a long black needle
like object (poison sting) stuck on the bear’s shoulder.  Trunks turned his head to the left and saw
a huge, purple cobra.  “It’s you,” Trunks said to the cobra and it nodded, saying “yes.”

The bear pulled the needle like object from its shoulder, with blood dripping from the object and
from its shoulder.  The bear went on all fours and charged at the cobra.

“Charbocka!” the cobra hissed and whipped its tail on the bear, knocking it over.  The bear fell on
the ground and got up again.  The bear galloped on all fours and tackled the cobra.  It stood up
and raised its right paw to slash the cobra.

“Come on get up!” Trunks cheered at the cobra from the bushes.  The bear striked its paw at on
the cobra’s hood.

“Chaarrr...” the cobra groaned.

“Noooo!” Trunks screeched.  He picked up a rock and threw it at the bear.  “Take that you big
hair ball!” he cried and the bear turned to him.  “Uh oh!”  The bear was about to walk over to
Trunks but it couldn’t move its right leg, the cobra’s tail was coiled around it.

“Chaaarrrrr!” the cobra hissed angrily and shot acid on the bear’s face.  The bear growled in pain
and collapsed on the ground with its face melted.

“Are you all right?” Trunks asked the cobra as he raced over to it.  He stared at the cobra’s eyes
and the cobra stared back and it collapsed on the ground.  “Oh,” Trunks gasped as he saw the
bear’s claw marks on the cobra’s hood.  He bent over and putted his hand on its nose to see if it
was still breathing.  “It’s okay.  It just fainted,” Trunks sighed happily.

“Trunks!  Trunks!  Truuunnnkkksss!” Vegeta yelled while flying above the forest with Bulma
following him on a hover craft.  Vegeta flew to Bulma.  “You better get some help.  We’ll find
Trunks faster that way,” he suggested.  Bulma nodded and flew away to get some help.

“Chaaarrrrr...” the cobra groaned as it opened its eyes and saw Trunks staring at him curiously.

“You better keep your head down.  That was quite a fight you had with the bear and thanks,”
Trunks giggled.  The cobra kept its head down as if it understood Trunks.  “This is no ordinary
cobra, it can shoot acid from its mouth,” Trunks thought while watching the snake coil itself.
“Don’t move your head too much or you’ll shake off the healing leaves I putted on your hood,”
Trunks said.  “Those leaves will heal your wounds and here, have some birds’ eggs.  I know you
snakes love these.  I got these from that tree,” Trunks said happily, handing the eggs to the cobra.

The snake opened its mouth and swallowed the eggs whole, one by one.  “What is your name?”
Trunks asked curiously.

“Charbocka,” the cobra hissed.

“Charbocka?  Is that all you can say?”  The cobra nodded.  “Well, I’ll just call you Arbok for
short.  Is that okay with you?” Trunks asked.

“Char,” the cobra nodded.

“Okay then, Arbok.  Do you want to go with me?”

“Char,” was all Arbok said.

“Is that a yes or no?”  Arbok nodded saying “yes.”
