DRAGONBALLZ

DEMON OF DARKNESS


The Demon


Dark clouds completely surrounded Earth, and rain fell from the sky, stinging those it touched. Crimsom lightning flashed acros the sky again and again. Gohan looked straight ahead, he was the epitome of focus right now. Up ahead he could see

Korrin's tower, he veered towards it and landed while the others kept flying towards the city where the new threat had landed.

"Korrin! You home?" Gohan called.

The old cat walked out of a nearby room with a somewhat worried look on his face. "Don't bother, i know all about the demon thats landed, here." Korrin tossed a bag of senzu beans at Gohan who caught them easily.

"Thanks Korrin, i get the feeling that we'll need these." Gohan said as he turned to leave.

"Wait, if your still alive in twenty-four hours drop on by, i'll have something for you." Korrin said.

"Right." Gohan replied as he took off.

"Good luck kid, your going to need it." Korrin said slowly.

Vegeta flew along side the others, rapidly growing impatient with the slowness of their pace. It wasn't that they weren't going at full speed, they were, it was just taking too long to reach their destination for Vegeta's tastes. He would never admit it,

but he was frightened on some level of the thing they were going to fight. He had never sense such power in his whole life. He frowned as a destroyed city appeared over the horizon.

"There." Piccolo said. Vegeta made no reply, instead he descended in an ark towards the ground, landing near a massive crater that was smoking voilently.

"What power, how could anything be so strong? Even with this alliance we've formed with our enemies we might not be able to beat this thing." Trunks thought, then let out a grunt as he transformed into a super saiyan and landed next to his father.

Piccolo landed as well before saying "Remember, regardless of our earlier conflict we must work as a team if were going to live through this."

"Just stay out of my way." Vegeta snarled as his aura swirled voilently.

The smoke in the crater cleared revealing their foe. The demon was 7 1/2 tall with black armour like skin and red glowing eyes. A visible aura of negative energy swirled around it and large batlike wings stretched outwards, while dangerous looking

claws stuck out of the ends of its fingers. It slowly turned to face them with an air of menace.

Vegeta gaped for a moment, then began to laugh hystericly. Trunks and Piccolo both turned looked at him in confusion. "So thats the great monster is it!? And to think i was actually worried!!" Vegeta declared before resuming his laughter.

"Vegeta focus!!" Piccolo demanded.

"Don't tell my father what to do! He's the king of saiyans!!" Trunks declared.

"Guys!!" Came Gohan's voice just before he landed. He looked down into the crater and said "So thats it huh? Alright, lets get started!!" With that Gohan sprang forward quickly covering the distance between himself and the demon before

throwing a mighty punch which slammed solidly into the demons face, with no effect at all. Gohan fought off his mounting shock and flipped over the thing smashing both his feet into its back propelling him away from it, but again the blow had absolutely no effect. Vegeta stopped laughing.

"Alright everyone!! Lets go!!" Piccolo shouted as he rushed forward, Vegeta and Trunks close behind. Piccolo threw a kick at the demons head but his foot passed through its after-image, it appeared in front of Vegeta and Trunks grabbing them by their faces and plowing them into the ground kicking up large dust clouds, then it turned and slammed its fist into a charging Piccolo's stomachebefore spinning with a kick to the namekians side flinging him into the side of the crater.

Gohan quickly rushed back with a feirce battle cry as he threw a flying kick at its head, the blow connected but had no effect, the thing countered by phazing behind Gohan and slamming both of its palms into his back launching him into a nearby building which collapsed ontop of him, then Vegeta rushed back into the fray with a sweep kick but the thing phazed out of the way and re-appeared next to Trunks, delivering a vicious kick to the youths chin launching him into the air

where the demon was waiting with a double fisted slam which sent Trunks plummeting into the ground, moving quickly Gohan and Piccolo rushed in with a joint attack, Gohan throwing a punch to the head, and Piccolo using a sweep kick but the thing phazed out of the way and came from behind kicking both of them between the shoulder blades sending them into some nearby buildings like rockets.

Vegeta lifted into the air and yelled "Lets see you escape this!!!" Then he sent a barrage of Ki-blasts into at the demon who stood perfectly still, and was thus engulfed in a large explosion which shook the whole city. Vegeta smirked in triumph,

but when the smoke cleared the demon remained unscathed. "What!? Thats impossible you couldn't have survived that!!!" Vegeta shouted in suprise. While he did that the demon detected something in Vegeta, a portion of the energy it would need in order to fulfill its purpose. It phazed behind Vegeta and slashed at him with its sharp claws but the king dodged with a worried look on his face, that last blow could have easily killed him, then the demon slashed at him again, and again

he dodged before quickly backing away and sending a powerfl Ki-wave at the demon who took it head on without even a flinch before attacking Vegeta with a flurry of slashed which the king was barely able to dodge.

"Father!!" Trunks cried out as he rushed the demon with his sword ready for an attack, but the thing whirled grabbing his arm and flung him into the ground leaving a sizable impact crater. Gohan stood and flew back into the fight with a mighty

kick which hit the demon in the side but it didn't even notice, instead it whirled with its claws catching him across the chest and blood spurted out. It was a shallow wound but it still sent him crashing to the ground, Vegeta took this chance to throw an elbow at the things neck but it ducked and hit him in the chest with an elbow so hard he coughed up blood, then it knocked him through the side of a nearby building with a knee to the side.

The demon slowly began to flow towards where it had knocked Vegeta. The warriors all lay battered on the ground. Trunks lay in the middle of his impact crater, Gohan lay face down trying to stop the bleeding from his chest, and Piccolo lay in

a pile of rubble that at one point was a building. The demon closed on its prey.
