Due to the persistence of one of my regular readers, I have decided to upload this story earlier then planned just for her. This story is named after the song This Is War by Thirty Seconds To Mars. And ironically, it fits the plot very well.


The End Of The Beginning?

Coge: "Hahaha! The Hogyoku is MINE!"

With the Hogyoku in Coge's possession, there was nothing that anyone could do. The mad saiyan used the Hogyoku to transform himself into a giant, powerful monster. He looked like a spinosaurus and a dragon combined. He towered over everyone! And his power was overwhelming. It was too much for anyone to try and fight alone.

Coge: "With this much power, I'll have no problem annihilating all you weaklings!"

Yamamoto: "I'm issuing an immediate order! Everyone is to concentrate their power onto this monster!"

All together, the 13 Court Guard Squads attacked Coge! But none of them seemed to do much except annoy him. Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters just looked on.

Yamcha: "Should we help them?!"

Krillin: "Why should we?! It's because of THEM that the situation's gotten this bad!"

Gohan: "But Coge's OUR problem!"

Piccolo: "And it was THEIR creation that he used to become THAT!"

Goten: "What do we do, dad?"

Goten looked up at his father. Even Goku was torn as to what to do. Sure Coge was their problem. But the Soul Reapers were the ones who owned the Hogyoku.

Vegeta: "Kakarot?"

Goku: "... We'll finish what's left."

They weren't going to help the Soul Reapers. That is until Coge spotted them and opened his mouth. The Z-Fighters all started to get sucked in and they all flew off to get away. But Goku couldn't get out of the vacuum and he wasn't the only one! Yamamoto was also getting sucked in!

Gohan: "Dad!"

Ukitake: "Head-Captain!"

Soifon: "This is all your fault!"

Krillin: "OUR fault!? Coge used YOUR thing!"

Vegeta: "ENOUGH!"

Piccolo: "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE ARGUING!"

Ichigo: "I hate to say it, but he's right! We have to do something and fast!"

And in a flash, their answer came with a roar!

Hitsugaya: "Up there!"

Like a flash of lightning, a familiar shape shot across the sky towards Coge! Just when it seemed that Coge was about to eat Yamamoto and Goku, an energy blast hit him square on the nose! Yamamoto and Goku started to plummet towards the earth when they both were suddenly snatched right out of the sky!

Goku: "What the-?"

They both looked at each other. Then they heard a voice.

?: "You get 'em?!"

The next thing they knew, the future Vegeta was smiling at them both.

Lieutenant Vegeta: "Yeah I got 'em!"

Goku: "Future Vegeta!?"

In seconds, Vegeta flew them over to a safe spot and let them go. The saiyan landed and Goku got a better look at the future Vegeta. He was wearing a strange saddle that had wings coming out of it!

Goku: "So it's true... You can't fly."

Then Yamamoto spotted the one on his back.

Yamamoto: "Toushiro Hitsugaya!?"

Toushiro: "You two alright?!"

Both Goku and Yamamoto could just barely nod. Toushiro was riding on Vegeta's back in the saddle.

Yamamoto: "H-How-"

A roar from Coge shifted their attentions.

Toushiro: "Look! We'll explain later! For now just stay back and let us handle this! Come on, Vegeta!"

Lieutenant Vegeta: "Right!"

And Vegeta flew off towards Coge with Toushiro on his back. The Z-Fighters and 13 Court Guard Squads all joined Goku and Yamamoto as they watched the two beings from the other two head towards the monstrous Coge! Coge payed no attention to the two flying up towards the clouds. Toushiro looked down and saw that Coge had wings in this strange mutated form.

Toushiro: "Hey he's got wings..."

As if their minds were synced, both Vegeta and Toushiro knew what to do.

Toushiro: "Alright, let's see if he can use them! Let's do what we do best, Vegeta- Let's get him mad!"

And Vegeta spun around in the clouds. With lightning fast speed, he started to dive towards Coge! As he did, both he and Toushiro prepared to strike! Just as they were only a few feet away, they both unleashed their attacks and scored direct hits! Coge crashed to the ground slightly dazed while Vegeta and Toushiro stayed in the air.

Toushiro: "Did it work?"

Toushiro turned around just in time to see Coge spread his wings and take off after them. Compared to his body size, his wings were just big enough to get him airborne. As for flying...

Toushiro: "Well he can fly..."

Toushiro strapped his harness to Vegeta's saddle. Time for some fancy flying.

Toushiro: "But can he FLY?... Let's go, Vegeta!"

Lieutenant Vegeta: "Hold on!"

And with that, Vegeta and Toushiro flew off with amazing speed! Coge followed close behind as he chased the two through the rocky coast. Toushiro looked back in time to see the monster getting ready to snap down.

Toushiro: "Hard left, Vegeta! Now!"

With a quick turn to the left, they avoided those massive jaws. But flying away wasn't doing them much good. They had to find a way to turn the odds in their favor. That was when Toushiro looked up and saw the dark storm clouds up above.

Toushiro: "Alright, Vegeta! Make us disappear!"

And upwards they climbed toward the dark heavens! Coge followed close behind as the saiyan and Soul Reaper reached the dark clouds. Everyone on the ground just watched as the giant disappeared into the storm clouds, following the other two. There was a long, eerie silence and wait. Then, a flash within the clouds! And then another, and another! After several small flashes of light, there was suddenly just one big one! And then a little while later, there was one more small flash of light. Whatever was going on, it was coming back down and fast! And that's when they all appeared! The monster was still following the other Vegeta and Toushiro. But the inside of its mouth was on fire! They were falling towards the ground when Vegeta spun around and opened his wings up to catch a blast of air and shot straight up past Coge! The monster tried to do the same, but his wings had holes in them! Coge went hurling towards the ground until he crashed into it! He exploded into a huge cloud of fire! Everyone followed as the explosion started to climb up the body of the fallen monster! But then they all looked up and saw the other Vegeta and Toushiro suddenly falling back! And right before everyone's eyes... They were lost as they were engulfed by the billowing cloud of flames...
