Alpha: Yay! I've been waiting forever to do this story!
Tye: You still have other stories to finish. –Glare-
Alpha: I'm working on them!
Tye: Whatever…
Alpha: Please enjoy the story and give constructive criticism!
AN: Okay, this is a re-writing of Dragon Ball Z with a new character, Akuma. Just a few notes: 1) I'm following the Kai version, so it'll be a little different than the original series 2 )b/c it follows the kai, there will be some waiting until the next episode comes out for me to go by (Though there will be the occasional scenes from the original just because I like them).
Name: Akuma
Age: 112 ( I am a Kitsune after all)
Height: 5' 1"
Looks: Long hot pink hair down to my waist w/ bangs that fall in front of my eyes and frame my face, tan skin, intense light blue eyes, with slitted pupils. Black tube top, white hakama pants, white leather fingerless gloves that come up to my elbows. I refuse to wear shoes because they're uncomfortable.
Fighting: I don't fight with a lot of brute strength, though I do have some. My speed is what I rely on. I'm so fast that my opponents can't keep up. Using that to my advantage I wear my opponent out before using my, very limited, brute strength to finally take them down. I also use a tetsugin, a knife attached to a wire. The wire wraps around my left glove from the wrist to the elbow, forming a plate of wire. (The knife is like a kunai knife w/the wire attached to the handle)
Personality: For the most part, I'm loud, random, and sarcastic. I have a mouth on me but are normally pretty kind, but I can quickly become ruthless, spiteful and vindictive. Emotions are a big part of me, not that I cry every five seconds but people know when I'm upset… because I'll beat the hell out of them while cussing them and their mother out. I'm very observant and analytical, though most wouldn't know that by the way I act. I'm like a genius in disguise… even if I can be slow on the uptake at times.
Vegeta smirked at the sight before him. Nappa's foot was raised ready to crush the small Saiyan boy's head. All the others had already been taken down and it seemed that their precious Goku wasn't going to show up. Not that Vegeta would imagine that he would actually come back from the dead for this weak bunch. It would just be a waste of time on his part.
Nappa's foot sped down for the mass of black hair under it only to crash to the ground. Turning his head from side to side Nappa searched for the boy only to see him on a floating yellow cloud behind him.
"N-nimbus?" Gohan gasped in confusion. How had he gotten here?
Suddenly a voice called out from above them grasping everyone's attention, "Well you all look pathetic." And there floating in the air beside Goku was me, Akuma. Everyone turned their heads up to where the two of you were.
I looked around at all of the damage done. Tien and Yamcha…. They had all been friends but neither of them as close to me as Piccolo. He had been like my over protective older brother that had been so fun to annoy. But he can, all of them, can be brought back. I know Earth isn't the only planet with Dragon Balls.
Goku flew down to the ground and I followed but stayed at a distance next to the shorter Saiyan who seemed to have stayed out of the fight so far. His presence was strong and he held himself like a leader.
"It's my dad!" Gohan beamed in happiness still sitting on Nimbus.
"He made it!" Krillin gasped out as much as he could. He definitely looked like he had been through hell.
While Goku walked towards Piccolo the short Saiyan next to me began to speak, "Nice of you to drop by." His voice was deep and rough but not painful to listen to. It also had that same tone of confidence that his body holds. "Still I'm a little embarrassed for you, I have to admit. I mean I sincerely hope you didn't come all this way, back from the dead even, believing you stood any chance against us. That would be a shame."
Goku ignored him and knelt down to Piccolo feeling for a pulse. When he didn't feel one he asked Gohan, "What happened to him?" His voice was so quiet I almost didn't catch it.
Gohan, who seemed close to tears now, answered, "He was trying to protect me from them." Goku looked around at his fallen friends clenching his jaw in anger. If he had been here sooner he could have helped them. They would have had a chance.
The bigger Saiyan laughed before calling out to Goku, "Seeing all these losers must send your blood pressure through the roof." Goku turned his glare to him. "There was another one around here somewhere but I guess there wouldn't be much left of him now, heh, a strong little runt. You might say he went out with a bit of a bang." Goku's hands balled into fists and his body tensed even more. Even Chaiotzu had been killed and with Piccolo gone Goku thought that there was no way to bring them back. Ignoring the fact that he was getting himself on dangerously thin ice the large Saiyan continued to antagonize Goku. "Hey look on the bright side, no need to grief! You're all about to be reunited! And here you've gone through all the trouble of coming back to life."
The machine on the Saiyan's ear next to me began to beep and he muttered to himself, "His power level's increasing exponentially."
"Of course it is," I said even though he wasn't even talking to me. "He's pissed as hell."
Giving me a side glance he sneered, "And just who in the hell are you?"
"I'm just someone who got bored and decided to see the show."
"Not interested in fighting yourself?" He asked not really interested.
I shrugged and replied, "Not at the moment."
Goku began to walk forward towards the larger Saiyan, who smirked and began to talk again, much to my annoyance. "Oh! Somebody's eager! You really miss them that much? Well you'll get no argument from me." He rushed forward and thrust out a fist to punch Goku in the face only to hit air. Once again his target has ended up behind him.
"This way buddy," Goku said and walked with Gohan and Nimbus over to where Krillin was still laying on the ground. I thought that would be more of an emotional reunion and decided it would be best to let them be.
Looking back to my side I asked, "So what's your name. I'm getting kind of tired of knowing you as the shorter one."
He looked at me for a moment before turning back to watching Goku. "Vegeta, the prince of Saiyans."
"Really? I've been to Planet Vegeta once." That seemed to catch his attention. "Was actually mated to a Saiyan too before he was destroyed along with the planet." I looked down at the ground in sadness. I had loved Raiden. He had been a strong warrior. "It's good that you survived." I looked back up at him and smiled. "The royal line can still continue if you find a suitable mate."
He seemed to just stare at me for a while before asking, "You're a Kitsune aren't you?"
"Yeah," I replied hesitantly leaning away suspicious as to why he was asking me that. Kitsunes are rare and a good ally to have.
"They were allies to Saiyans."
"Yep!"
"Then you shall come with me once I'm done here." He turned away and all I could do was stare at him in shock.
"The hell I shall!" I yelled out turning slightly red in the face in anger. I pointed my finger at him in a commanding way still shouting, "You're not in charge of me no matter how hot you are!" That last part threw him off a bit. He gave me the look one would give a retarded squirrel. "… Ignore that last part!" I shouted still pointing.
"You are coming with me," he said, thankfully ignoring the embarrassing thing I said. "Saiyans and Kitsunes had an alliance and it's our job to continue to fulfill that duty."
"But I like it here!" I pouted stomping my foot.
"Too bad," Vegeta said turning back to Goku, Krillin, and Gohan. "What the hell is that?"
Turning to look myself I answered, "It's a senzu bean. A friend of ours grows them. You eat one and then your wounds are pretty much healed. Pretty handy to have," I saw the wheels turning in Vegeta's head and quickly continued, "But they just ate the last one."
"Hn," he crossed his arms and grouched, "A waste to give it to those weaklings."
"To a strategic fighter," I said standing up for Goku, "yes. But to Goku, that's the smartest move to make. He fights for his friends. He won't sacrifice them for himself."
"Then he's a fool."
"Possibly…" I left off on that note as Goku walked onto the field. I noticed that Gohan and Krillin were going after him and sped over to them, ending up behind them in less than a second, and picked them up by the collars of their shirts. "Oh no you don't, mullet." I walked over to one of the rock walls and set them down beside it. "You and chrome dome are staying outta this. Having him worry about you in the fight ain't gonna help him win."
Gohan looked up at me in slight fright. He had seen me talking with Vegeta but I did show up with his dad and now he wasn't sure whose side I was on. Slightly stuttering he asked, "Who are you?"
I gave the kid a kind smile and said, placing my hands on my hips, "The names Akuma. I'm friend of your dad and baldy here."
Annoyed Krillin crossed his arms and glared at me, "Good to see you're still as annoying as ever."
"Ain't it?" I retorted with a sarcastic smile.
"And what's with you getting all cozy with the bad guy over there?"
Shrugging I replied with a smirk, "He's hot and he's not too tall." I ignored the sweat drop Krillin got and looked over Vegeta. I had to admit he was attractive. Kitsunes and Saiyans were not only allies but they also mated quite often. It was said that their offspring were incredibly strong.
"Uh, Akuma?" Gohan asked breaking me from my thoughts.
"Hm?"
"How do you know my dad?"
Putting a hand to my chin in thought I answered, "Eh, I met him a few years back before you were born. Nice little tournament, it was. Wish we didn't accidentally destroy the whole arena. Good snacks too." I almost drooled at the thought of some of the food.
Seeing that I had once again gone off to La-La Land Krillin decided to elaborate, "Akuma was the reigning champ and beat all of us."
I shrugged and retorted, "You guys were cocky and underestimated me. Not my fault you let your macho man bullshit get in the way." Gohan gasped in shock at the use of my language.
"Hey watch the language in front of the kid!" Krillin scolded.
"He'll get used to it."
"That's not a good thing!"
"I don't recall ever saying it was."
Krillin now had a vein throbbing on his forehead in annoyance, "You are so infuriating!"
Fixing him with a bored look I crossed my arms and asked, "You have anything new to tell me or are you just going to repeat things that you've told me for years?"
Krillin growled in anger causing me to laugh out and Gohan to giggle, "Oh, go flirt with the Saiyan!"
"OK!"
"No wait!" He called out but I was already back next to Vegeta. " … idiot."
"I'm back!" I cheered appearing next to Vegeta.
"Yet you won't be an ally…"
"I wouldn't have a problem with it if you didn't have the big oaf." I glared at him and wrinkled my nose, "His nut huggers creep me the hell out."
He gave me and exasperated look and asked, "How old are you?"
"112, why?" I asked him giving him a mock annoyed look. "I know I'm still young and all but still it's rude to ask a woman's age!"
"Then why don't you act it?" he snapped getting seriously annoyed with me.
Smirking with a shrug I retorted, "Hey I'm my age and I'm acting like myself so thus I am acting my age."
"That made no sense what so ever!"
"Your face doesn't make any sense…." I muttered looking the other way, moping.
Turning and glaring at me he snapped, "What was that?"
"Nothing!"
The big Saiyan thankfully saved my ass by talking again. "Oh no, you do not want to make that face at me." Once again he was antagonizing Goku. So not only was he arrogant he was also stupid. "Unless that's how you want to greet your friends on the other side."
"This ends now! And you're gonna pay!" Goku shouted out through his clenched teeth. He began to power up causing rocks to float in the air because of all the energy.
"7000 … 8000…" Vegeta mumbled to himself reading Goku's power level on the pink material over his left eye. Then suddenly he shouted, "NO! This -this isn't possible!"
Goku finished powering up with a shout and the larger Saiyan called out, "Vegeta…. Vegeta!" When he didn't answer he cried out, "What's wrong with you? Tell me what his power level is!"
Vegeta took off the machine and shouted, "It's over 9000!" and crushed it in his hand.
"What? 9000?" The other Saiyan roared in shock. He looked back and Vegeta over his shoulder and barked, "You've got to be kidding me! That thing's a piece of junk!"
Goku glared at him and stated, "You're going down. I doubt I'll have to use the Kaio-Ken against you."
"Kaio-Ken?" Vegeta asked confused.
"It's a technique he just learned," I clarified. "By focusing every bit of his spiritual energy he can increase his strength, speed, power. Quite a nice ace in the hole if you ask me." Vegeta just stared at Goku in shock.
"Nappa better pay attention to what he's doing," Vegeta hissed to himself. He knew that with a technique like that Goku could beat Nappa without an issue. I assumed that Nappa was the larger Saiyan that Goku was fighting.
"You don't scare me!" Nappa screamed charging at Goku. "Nobody but nobody intimidates the mighty Nappa!" He tries to kick Goku in the head only for Goku to dodge and kick Nappa in the back of the head. The large Saiyan landed face first on the ground.
Vegeta continued to watch in shock as Nappa pushed himself off the ground and shouted, "How'd you get back there? You- You…"
"Y'know as much as you've puffed yourself up I'm kind of disappointed," Goku said just staring down at Nappa seemingly completely calm.
"Wha-?" Nappa chocked out. "Are – Are you trying to tell me that I'm all bark and no bite?"
Barely sparing Nappa a glance Goku brushed some dirt off his boots. "If that flailing around was your idea of an attack then yeah."
"Alright Goku!" I cheered in Vegeta's ear earning yourself a glare. "Way to talk shit to the opponent!"
Nappa stood and smirked at him, "Oh really? Then maybe you should teach me a thing or two!" He then ran forward sending multiple kicks and punches at Goku, who easily dodged every one. Goku jumped over a kick, then twisted in the air to avoid a punch, and landed on the ground in a crouch to avoid Nappa's swinging arm. Nappa, again, sent many attacks to Goku. Goku, again, dodged them all.
"How strange…." Vegeta said holding his chin in thought.
"Hm?" I looked over to him for clarification.
"…To think that his power could increase so much now when he was more or less an equal with Raditz." He said.
"You mean his overly beefed up brother?" I asked even though I knew the answer. "Yeah guys with that much muscle normally A.) Don't know what to do with it, or B.) Think that's all they need to be victorious."
"You talk as if you know from experience."
Smirking, I held myself a little higher, "You see guys like that all the time at tournaments. They think because they're the biggest they have the best chance for winning when really it's the small pink haired girl that comes out on top."
I finished just in time to see Nappa send a punch at Goku, who had dodged 4 yards. "Over here!" He called out causing Nappa to turn and growl at him.
Vegeta tensed and said, "This is impossible. How can some on gain so much power in so little time?"
"Well," I answered, "Goku did get his ass kicked and you Saiyans do automatically get stronger after each fight so his power would increase already from that. Then he was training in the afterlife with King Kai and me." Putting my hands on my hips I grouched, "He's actually fighting a lot like I do right now." Goku ran forward and jumped onto Nappa's head. "See, I used that move on him!"
Nappa clasped his hands together and threw them up to knock Goku off his head. But Goku quickly jumped down off his head and onto the ground in front of him punching him in his unguarded stomach. Nappa crumbled to the ground in a ball holding his now bruised stomach.
"Though I do prefer to kick rather than punch. I don't have as great of upper body strength as you guys," I said flexing my right bicep.
"Just so you know that was for Chaiotzu," Goku spat out still standing in front of the fallen Saiyan.
"Why you…" Nappa ground out before pushing himself up and throwing a punch at Goku.
Goku dodged and punched Nappa in the face sending him sliding across the ground, through a boulder, and into a rock wall. "And this is for Yamcha!"
Unfortunately Nappa righted himself and used his feet to bounce off of the wall. "Filthy, arrogant, wretched, little, scum sucking pig!" He shouted and powered up. Yellow electric energy sparked around him. It took about three seconds before he threw a ball of energy at Goku.
"Seriously?" Goku asks with a smirk. This was pathetic to him. Just as the ball was about to hit him he gave a loud shout. Dust flew up everywhere in the area. It took a few moments for it to clear before a perfectly fine Goku was shown.
"What the hell?" Nappa cried out in shock.
Vegeta was also stunned. "Is it possible? He just dodged it with a powerful shout?"
"Gah! That was luck!" Nappa screamed refusing to believe that Goku was that powerful.
Goku quickly shot up behind Nappa and hit him in the back of the head with his clasped hands, sending him down towards the ground. "And this one's for Tien!"
"What's wrong with me?" Nappa screeched to himself. "How can Kakarot be so much more powerful?"
Not wanting to let the opportunity get away from me, I quickly reached inside my left glove, grabbing metal. With a sharp jerk of my arm, a thin line of light shot out towards Nappa. The man's eyes widened in shock completely immobilized by a thin metal wire wrapped around his body and neck. Vegeta couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could some pink haired brat know how to use a tetsugin?
I stood there, a tight grip with my left hand using my right hand to guide it. Wrapping the wire around my hands a few times to make sure I had a good grip, I turned and used my whole body to pull him. Nappa went sailing through the sky and over my head before crashing down into the ground. The impact was so great that his head was buried in it and dust flew up everywhere. "And that was for Piccolo!" I growled wrapping the wire back around my left arm. "Sorry for interrupting Goku but nobody beats on green bean but me."
"Completely understandable," Goku said glaring at the dust that accumulated around Nappa's body. Gohan and Krillin cheered happily from their spots on the side lines. Vegeta stared at me in shock. A tetsugin was not something you saw every day. And it's even more rare to find a person whom actually knows how to use one.
Suddenly Nappa burst out of the ground and screamed, "That's it! You're gonna pay for that cheap move!"
He threw a rock but I just calmly moved my head to the side and replied, "That's ok I'm done with you." I narrowed my eyes with a smirk and said, "You'd just be a waste of time and energy."
"I am a member of an elite warrior class!" He shouted having a mini bitch fit. "I will not be made a fool of by some little girl!"
"Too late," I sneered at him checking over my nails. Some of the orange paint had chipped off. It always does after using the tetsugin. That's why I normally don't paint them but it had been so long sense I had used it that I decided to paint them. Of course as soon as I did they get ruined. You've gotta love irony.
Nappa growled and stomped towards me. "You'll be begging for death by the time I'm through with you!"
"I would be scared if I actually thought you could lay a hand on me," I yawned stretching my arms over my head, unknowingly letting Vegeta get a good view of my breast. And he enjoyed that view I must say.
Nappa went to attack me but Vegeta's voice stopped him, "Nappa use your head! Don't let their nonchalant attitudes get under your skin! That's what's giving them the advantage. Calm down and think." I snickered behind my hand as Nappa looked like he almost shit himself when Vegeta started yelling at him.
Chuckling Nappa said, "You're right. Thanks Vegeta. I've got to stay level headed. Hn, almost lost my composure."
"Whatever," I said with a shrug. "I've already told ya I'm through with you."
With that said I walked back over to Vegeta where he was silently cursing Nappa, "Brick headed spastic. The way things are going I'll have to step in."
"I'm sure things would get a lot more interesting then," I said with a smirk.
"Hn," Vegeta gave a cocky smirk and turned his attention back to the fight. "You have no idea."
"I have to admit, pretty sneaky move there getting me all worked up," Nappa said wiping some blood from his lip. "That's not gonna fly from here on out though. From here on out, I'm a machine."
"Now that's what I like to hear," Goku said with an eager smirk, "Show me what you've got."
"You sure like to talk big don't ya?" Nappa asked.
I snorted and called out, "This coming from you?"
"Nobody asked for your commentary!" Nappa shouted at me annoyed
Crossing my arms I snapped back, "Well then they better be damn thankful I decided to do it anyway!"
"She really doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut does she?" Krillin asked no one in particular.
"She's like my mom," Gohan added.
"I wouldn't take it that far," Krillin disagreed remembering how bad Chichi could get when angered, which happens quite often.
Nappa powered up and shot an attack from his finger tips hitting the ground where Goku was standing. In all the dust that shot up Goku jumped away. "I can see you!" Nappa shouted flying after Goku and sending multiple punches and kicks his way. Goku, of course dodged them all. After a few moments they stopped.
"Whoa!" Goku said out of breathe. "You weren't' kidding. This is much more like it."
"Much more like it huh?" Nappa asked laughing. "You're about to have those words crammed right back down your throat, compliments of my own." He then shot an energy blast from his mouth at Goku. Not having time to dodge away Goku shot back at it with a Kamehameha, the two blasts met causing an explosion. Dust and rocks went flying everywhere.
"He's a freak of nature!" Vegeta shouted shielding his eyes from the dirt. "No one with their head on straight would strike back so quickly at such a close range."
I raised my hand slightly, "I would."
"Like I said…"
"Jerk!"
"If I had taken that blast full on I would have been in pretty bad shape." Goku said wiping some sweat from his brow.
Nappa stared in shock and slowly said, "But that was my… ultimate technique. And he just brushed it aside like some kind of old play thing!"
"You really are a tough one huh?" Goku asked Nappa. "The Kamehameha should have done at least a little damage to ya. Neither of us are gonna make much head way at this rate."
"That's enough Nappa back down," Vegeta shouted making Nappa pause in midair where he was about to hit Goku.
"Oooh are ya gonna fight now?" I asked looking at him from my spot cross legged in the air. "I wanna watch!"
"I believe the traitor has proven himself to be your match," Vegeta continued ignoring me. "Don't give me that look!" He shouted at Nappa who looked like he just got grounded. "Thanks to your monumental incompetence I have no choice but to step in and finish this myself."
"This is stupid. I can't believe I have to turn over our execution to Vegeta," Nappa said to Goku. "But orders are orders. Vegeta will finish you off. Still I can't walk away without destroying someone!" He flew off to attack Gohan and Krillin.
"Kaio-ken!" screamed and sped off after him. Once he caught up he elbowed him in the back to the ground. "Akuma!"
"I got it!" I shouted and appeared in front of Krillin and Gohan. When Nappa was in reach I kicked him in the back sending him away. Goku landed next to me just as Nappa landed in front of Vegeta.
"Ah! It really, really hurts!" He gasped out in pain.
"It should." I said glaring at him and crossing my arms. Attacking them had been low and I now felt no qualms for what I did to him. "I shattered your spine with that kick."
Goku then spoke up, "He won't be able to fight anymore. Take your injured friend and leave this planet. Just go back to wherever you came from." Vegeta just glared.
"Goku how did you do that?" Krillin asked stunned. "Was that one of the techniques you learned while training with King Kai?"
"Yeah it's called the Kaio-ken." He answered. "By focusing every ounce of energy in your body you can amplify it for a short burst. And if you do it correctly you power, speed, destructive force and defensive force can be increased a lot."
"That's awesome! As strong as you are now you mean you can make yourself even stronger just like that?" Krillin asked making sure he got it right.
"That's right."
"Goku, why do you tease us? this isn't a good time to be playing around! if you had that trick up your sleeve the whole time you should have used it right away. "
"Sorry but that wasn't an option. If I don't stay in complete control while I'm boosting my energy I could really mess myself up."
"Huh?" Gohan asked having listened to Krillin and Goku's conversation.
I decided to clarify, "At his level he can only use it two times. If he loses control at any point he could severely harm his body. Putting too much strain on his body causing it to back fire on himself."
"That's crazy!" Krillin shouted.
"Vegeta…" Nappa gasped out shakily holding up his hand. "Please help me." Vegeta just stared at him for a moment before grasping onto the offered hand. Nappa looked surprised for a second but then smiled. "Thank you, boss."
Suddenly Vegeta gave a unsettling smirk. "Sure," he said throwing Nappa into the air.
"What's wrong with you? Vegeta! Vegeta!" Nappa shouted still flying through the air.
"I have no use for a paralyzed Saiyan!" Vegeta answered. "You're dead weight now!" He then quickly powered up and threw an energy blast at Nappa. "Goodbye," he laughed and licked his lips as Nappa was disintegrated.
Goku had taken Gohan and Krillin up in the air during the attack Vegeta sent at Nappa. It had destroyed most of the ground we had been standing on. I myself was in the air a few yards away from them. I couldn't stop staring at Vegeta. 'He's ruthless,' I thought to myself. 'Not that I would expect much less of a Saiyan.'
"Let's get on with it! What happened to all that enthusiasm you had? Are you just going to run away? How pathetic!" Vegeta shouted to Goku eager to get on with their fight. Goku sent Gohan and Krillin away before floating down to where Vegeta was. Laughing Vegeta said, "I take it you've realized there's no use in running away."
"Let's finish this someplace else," Goku said ignoring Vegeta's jabs.
Vegeta smirked. "Fine by me. Makes no difference."
They took off flying and I followed after them. I wasn't going to get involved in the fight this time unless I deemed it absolutely necessary. "Akuma I don't want you getting in the middle of this! Go with Gohan and Krillin!" Goku called back to me.
"Like hell!" I shouted back offended that he actually tried to send me away like Krillin and Gohan. I was far stronger than even him and the fact that he thought I couldn't take care of myself really pissed me off. We all finally landed and Vegeta looked around at the area. It was all just rocks. No plant life which also means that there wouldn't be any animal life either.
"Interesting," Vegeta said. "Of all the places on your planet you chose this as your grave site. You should feel luckily. Not every low class warrior gets the chance to spar with a super elite like myself. Not long after Saiyans are born their skills are tested. The scum whose scores are ranked the lowest are sent to the outer worlds where the opponents are weak. Much like you were Kakarot. In other words you were cast out like a dog."
Goku didn't seem bothered by any of this."Yeah and as a result I was lucky enough to come here to earth and I'm thankful for that. Besides, maybe even a lower class could surpass and elite if they put their minds to it."
Vegeta laughed at the absurdity of what he said before retorting, "That's a nice attempt at a joke. Now let me show you a wall you will never have the ability to scale through effort alone."
They both got in their fighting stances and stared each other down. I perched myself on top of a higher rock to watch the fight. They didn't move for a while. Wind blew past and caused an unsteady rock to crumble. The noise seemed to startle Goku into action.
Flying forward Goku threw a punch at Vegeta but it was blocked and he had to dodge multiple punches sent his way. They repeated that process for a while until Goku tried to kick Vegeta but he just jumped away. Goku followed him and suddenly Vegeta turned around and elbowed him in the chest. Goku fell back towards the ground not able to breathe. But he quickly regained his breathe and turned himself around and pushed himself off the ground and back into the air.
He looked around for Vegeta and ducked his head just in time before he got a forearm to the back of the head. He landed on a rock and looked up at Vegeta, who had perched himself on a higher ledge. Vegeta crossed his arms like usual and chuckled. He was obviously enjoying himself. "Now show me. C'mon have you used up all that strength you've been hiding?" Vegeta taunted.
"You wanna see? Alright then" Goku said before powering up. "Kaio ken!" He shoots a chi blast at Vegeta but he dodged so it only destroyed the rock he was standing on. Goku quickly flew up after him and punched him in the face.
Goku went after him again but Vegeta disappeared and reappeared beside him kicking him in the chin. "If this is the limit of what you have to offer then I'm sorely disappointed," Vegeta taunted again.
Goku started to chuckle. This threw not only me but Vegeta off. Not sure what else to do Vegeta antagonized Goku some more. "Come on. Are you done already? I guess you're all talk then huh? In that case allow me to show you something before you die. The overwhelming power of a Saiyan super elite. Soon you'll follow your friends into the oblivion!"
Vegeta began to power up. Dark clouds seemed to have just came from nowhere. Rocks began to crumble and a monstrous wind blew. "This is incredible!" I shouted over the wind covering my eyes with my left arm. This energy had been surprising. It was more powerful than I thought that little man had in him. "I don't think Goku can beat him!"
Done releasing his energy Vegeta shouted to help relieve the strain of releasing all that energy had put on his body. The clouds suddenly vanished along with the wind. Looking around I noticed that the whole area had been destroyed. Vegeta shot forward and thrust his shoulder into Goku's stomach before the poor guy even knew what was going on. Then he brought down his foot in the same spot sending Goku towards the ground.
Goku thankfully caught himself and landed on his feet. He continued to look around for Vegeta but he wasn't fast enough. "Hey stupid! Behind you!" Vegeta shouted appearing and kicking Goku in the back of the head. Goku landed on his feet and jumped up onto a taller rock to see if he could get a better view to try and find Vegeta.
A blue chi blast went hurtling towards Goku and he wouldn't be able to dodge it in time. "Kaio-ken times 2!" With the burst of energy that gave him he was able to jump away with only the rock getting destroyed. But Vegeta wasn't done. He threw another chi blast and it almost hit Goku destroying the right side of his shirt.
"Well done," Vegeta said with a mocking laugh. "You dodged it. Of course I made that one easy. After all it wouldn't be any fun if you died right away."
With a sweat drop I muttered, "And I thought I liked to talk shit in a fight."
Goku landed on a rock and looked up at Vegeta, who placed himself on a higher one. Goku pulled off the rest of his tattered shirt and seemed to be in a deep thought. "Why the hesitation?" Vegeta called out after a few moments. "Your move Kakarot." He laughed and called out, "No more of those trick moves up your sleeve? Not that they would do you much good. Even among the other Saiyans I was always the most powerful by far. I don't care if you've trained every minute of your entire life for this. You will always be a low ranked out cast and nothing more!" He is so arrogant.
"Body don't fail me now!" Goku shouted and powered up. "Kaio-ken times 3!"
"What are you insane?" I cried out. "You fucking idiot! If you survive I'm gonna kick your ass for making such a stupid move!" I began to tear at my hair in distress. "And just watch Chi chi's gonna think it's all my fault!" At that thought I turned blue in the face and fell onto my knees. "She'll kill me! It's against Kitsune law for me to hurt her back!" I was almost to the point of tears now. "I'm screwed!"
Steam started to come off of Goku's body and he began to shout to relieve some of the strain that was put on his body. The rock Vegeta was perched on began to crumble right out from under him but he was too shocked to move. Unlike Goku, who shot forward and hit him in the face then kicked him in the back sending him into the air.
Vegeta caught himself and turned to Goku shooting a chi blast but Goku moved out of the way. Vegeta shot another blast with the same results. Goku appeared beside him and kicked Vegeta in the face sending him crashing through one rock and putting a hole in the one behind it. It took about two seconds for Vegeta to burst out of the entire rock with an angry shout. He tried to hit Goku, who had sped straight for him but missed and got punched in the back himself. He turned and tried to hit Goku with a fist surrounded by energy but Goku was ready and stopped him with a strong punch to the abdomen. Vegeta stumbled back fighting to breathe and Goku took that pause to catch his own breath. Vegeta jumped up onto a taller rock to put more space between them
'Goku might actually win this!' I thought finally calming down from my mini freak out. 'But still I don't think Vegeta has given this his all just yet. He doesn't seem the type to pull out the big guns in the beginning of a fight.' I suddenly felt a strong admiration for the strength and cunning the short Saiyan had. Shaking my head quickly to get rid of the thoughts I cursed, "Damn Kitsune blood."
Goku flew up and met Vegeta on the rock and grasped both of his hands when Vegeta tried to punch him. Slowly Goku put more pressure on Vegeta's hands causing the shorter of the two to cry out in pain. Vegeta then put a leg over Goku's arm. Goku was so caught off guard that he let go of Vegeta's hands. With his hands now free Vegeta clasped them over his head and prepared to bash Goku in the face with them. Goku now over the initial shock of Vegeta straddling his arm threw Vegeta over his head before turning and punching him in the stomach. He followed Vegeta's form and then slammed his shoulder into Vegeta's back and hurtled them both towards the ground. Vegeta who was on the bottom took all of the damage.
Goku was so worn out that he slide off the rock and onto the ground almost falling. 'His body isn't going to last much longer.' I observed watching Goku's whole body tremble.
Vegeta pushed himself up into a standing position only to grab his stomach and fall to the ground again in pain. Once he was finally ok to move Vegeta stood again. Glaring down at Goku, Vegeta ranted, "I belong to the upper echelon of the most elite warrior class the universe has ever seen. I will not be bested! Especially by some low born amateur like you! I am the greatest warrior who has ever lived!"
"Let's not take it that far," I muttered to myself with a sweat drop.
"Your insolence just cost you this world! I'll blow it all to pieces and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"
"What!" I balked in surprise.
Vegeta shot into the air and poised himself for the shot. "Try to dodge this if you can. You might just manage to save yourself but your precious Earth is doomed!"
"He's got me!" Goku cried out in despair. "What can I do?"
"It's hopeless!" Vegeta shouted. "There's no way you can stop my Gallic Gun! Prepare to join this filthy orb in oblivion!" He then shot his attack straight towards Goku.
"Ah, shit!" I cried out doing what could possibly be considered the stupidest move in my life. Jumping down in front of Goku I held up my hand and shouted "Aku Kage!" and shot out a blast of black energy with purple electricity surrounding it. My blast met Vegeta's and they blocked each other, seeming to be the same strength. "Sorry hun!" I shouted up to Vegeta apologetically. "But this is still my home!"
"Akuma what are you doing!" Goku shouted at me stunned to see me actually get involved in the fight and use a chi blast. I never used chi blasts!
Turning my head to look over my shoulder I shouted back at Goku. "Your body is already going to crash! You wouldn't have been able to block it." Glaring at him I added, "This is a onetime thing though! I really don't feel like going back to the damn King Kai to help you train in the afterlife again damnit!" I continued to shoot energy to keep Vegeta's blast form coming any closer. "They're matched! We're gonna stay in this stalemate forever!" That is until….
"Kamehameha!" Goku shouted blasting his own attack at Vegeta's. Our combined attack over powered Vegeta's Gallic Gun and sent the Vegeta off into the sky, disappearing out of sight. As soon as Vegeta was no longer visible Goku fell to the ground on his ass exhausted.
"You idiot!" I screamed tearing into Goku as soon as his ass hit the dirt. "I was trying to help you!" Placing my hands on my hips I continued to yell at him, "I put my ass on the line so you wouldn't push your body and now," I flicked his forehead for emphases, "this!"
"Ow!" Goku screamed but couldn't move his arms to nurse his smarting head. "That hurt!"
"Good!"
"Why are you hurting me?" Goku yelled in confusion. "Aren't you supposed to be on my side?"
"I did that so you wouldn't get hurt! But then you went and did what I was trying to get you not to do! Is stupidity all you are?"
"You don't have to be so rude about it!"
"Whatever," I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose hoping to relieve some of the pressure building up there. I glared at the sky and groaned, "Geez whatever chance I had with him is gone now."
"Chance with him?" Goku choked out in surprise. "You actually like him?" He couldn't believe his ears!
"It's natural," I said with a shrug. When he still looked at me with wide eyes I decided to clarify. "Kitsunes and Saiyans would often mate. At first it was for the powerful offspring they would bring. After years evolution took over and now it's a natural attraction between the two races."
"Then why didn't we…?" He asked softly trying to think why the two of us didn't have an attraction after knowing each other for so long. Now, he didn't want to have a relationship with me. No, he valued our friendship. He was in love with Chichi.
"You already had a mate when we met," I answered referring to Chichi. "Kitsunes don't take away another's mate. It's horrible." I wrinkled my nose at the thought of someone stealing another's mate. It was disgusting. "But damn he was hot… and now because of you I can't have him!" I yelled that last part in Goku's face.
"Gah!" He called out flinching away from me.
Vegeta soon returned landing in front of me and Goku. No sooner had his feet touched the ground I had glomped him crying out, "I'm sorry!" I started to sob saying, "I just didn't want to die!"
"Will you please get off me?" Vegeta ground out through his teeth trying to keep his calm for the sake of the treaty.
"Not until you accept my apology!" I shouted holding onto him harder.
Vegeta tried to push me off but I wouldn't budge. "Let go!"
"No!"
"Let go of me this instant!"
I flopped down on my knees making the Saiyan I was attached to have to bend at the waist. "NOOOO! Not until you accept it!"
"Fine!" He cried still trying to push me off. "Fine! Now get the hell off of me!"
"Ok!" I said happily as if there had never been anything wrong.
Finally able to stand without me hanging onto him Vegeta growled out, "Oddest damn Kitsune I've ever met!"
"Yeah pretty much," I said with a shrug and smile.
"Akuma…" Goku said trying to get my attention.
"Yeah?"
"Off the battle field."
I looked around for a second. "…. Oops! Sorry!" I then flew off to the rock I had previously been watching the battle from.
"And I have to have an alliance with her…" Vegeta muttered starting to greatly dislike the idea of a Saiyan Kitsune treaty. I would have him going insane within the first week.
"What?" Goku gasped in surprise and confusion. Alliance? Why would I be in an alliance with this guy?
"Yes," Vegeta said with an arrogant smirk. "According to the Saiyan Kitsune treaty any Saiyan and Kitsune who meet must be allies… well that's the simple way of putting it. I'm sure your small unevolved brain wouldn't understand it otherwise."
"That means…."
"Yes your precious friend is coming with me as soon as I leave. And I must say that was a clever move you pulled."
"Huh?" Clever move? Did he hit his head up there? This guy is making no sense!
Deciding that Goku was just playing dumb Vegeta decided to elaborate for him, "Blasting the moon from the sky so I couldn't beat you, but I'm afraid it was all for nothing."
"What? Why would I do that?" Goku asked even more confused now. He had no clue the moon was even gone.
Vegeta laughed, "fine go ahead and play dumb. But I'm curious. Do you even know why we Saiyans transform when we see a full moon?"
"Wait we do what?" Goku asked in shock. He never remembered transforming.
"The moon appears lit only because it reflects the light from the sun," Vegeta lectured. "But when the sunlight is bounced from the lunar's surface it puts a slight shift in the wave link creating a Bruits wave. And when the moon is full their intensity is over 17 million zenoes."
Goku blinked a few times before muttering, "um I'm afraid you lost me there."
Exasperated Vegeta broke it down even more, "Once 17 million zenoes are absorbed by a Saiyan retina our bodies respond to a bio chemical reaction produced in the tail, and we transform. Among the elite of our race there are those capable of actually producing a satellite with the admission of zenoes necessary to affect the change and as luck would have it I am such an elite! Observe when my power ball mixes with the oxygen in this atmosphere." Vegeta then created a ball of light in the palm of his hand.
"His energy dropped." I muttered to myself in surprise. "He must really have confidence in his next move if he's risking something like this."
"Sorry to have given you false hope Kakarot," Vegeta said not sounding sorry what so ever. "This nonsense should have been over by now. Let this be a lesson to all low class punks like yourself who dare challenges their superiors on the battle field!" Vegeta threw the ball of light into the sky and for a moment nothing happened but then he said, "Burst open and mix!" He clenched his fist and that small ball of light burst and then turned into a giant ball of light.
"He's just … created his own moon," I muttered to myself before his plan clicked in my head. "The bastards gonna become that creepy monkey monster thing! Damn those things creep me the hell out! I just hope he has more control than Raiden did." Raiden had never had much control over his monkey monster. He was a strong warrior but he always went straight for the kill. Holding back had never been a plan of his. I still remembered how he almost destroyed our home once. After that I beat the hell outta him until he learned to control himself better.
Vegeta broke my train of thought by laughing and calling out to Goku, "boy would that long lost tail of yours ever come in handy right about now." Then his transformation began. His fangs began to elongate and a feral growl erupted from his throat. His black eyes turned a blazing red and his whole body began to grow thick brown fur. His bone structure changed and he finally grew to an enormous size. He roared out when his transformation was complete.
"Well at least his clothes stay on…" I noticed with a sweat drop. Raiden's clothing had always been torn during the transformation leaving the man butt ass naked in the morning. Of course Raiden also hated wearing the Saiyan armor and was typically dressed in just a pair of gi pants.
Vegeta wasted no time in attacking Goku. He reached out and smashed the rock Goku had been on. Goku quickly jumped away before he could get caught in the path. Vegeta went after him following Goku wherever he ran, stomping down trying to hit him. Seeing that they were leaving the area I decided to get a free ride. I ran to the edge of the rock I was sitting on and jumped onto Vegeta's fluffy shoulder. Seeing that Vegeta chose to ignore me, I sat down cross legged and relaxed. Soon my bones shifted and fur grew leaving me in my natural Kitsune form, where I'm large enough to carry two full grown men on my back. I was tri-colored. My underbelly was silver, my main color was dark gray, and then I had a strip of black going down my back, from my head to my two tails. Vegeta's fur was incredibly soft and despite the fact that he was stomping around my little ride was very relaxing. Curling up into a ball I laid down and continued to watch the show.
Vegeta laughed and called out mockingly to Goku, "So then what do you think?" Goku hid behind a rock trying to catch his breath but Vegeta just bent down and continued to mock him. "Rather impressive isn't it?" With another laugh he destroyed the rock Goku was hiding behind and the chase ensued again. Goku seeing that running the same direction wasn't doing any good turned and jumped over Vegeta's head but monkey man turned right there with him. "How about I let you in on a little secret?" Vegeta asked. "When I adopt the form of a great ape my strength increases tenfold!" Vegeta lifted his hand and brought it down on Goku.
Thankfully Goku flew away but Vegeta appeared in front of him and again threw an arm out at Goku. Landing Goku shouted up, "Alright Vegeta let's finish this. I can't beat you when you're in that form but maybe a spirit bomb can." Goku raised his hands into the air and tried to summon energy from the world around him but he didn't get to finish because Vegeta smashed the ground he was on. Jumping in the air to get away Goku only got a kick to the entire body by Vegeta's giant foot. He landed on his stomach away from you. Vegeta jumped in the air preparing to land on Goku only to hear, "Kaio-ken!" As soon as Goku got in the air he was knocked away again by Vegeta's fuzzy brown tail.
Goku kept himself in the air and wiped the sweat out of his eyes. Vegeta, mistaking them for tears, laughed, "Aw, what's the matter?" Jumping in the air Vegeta shouted, "C'mon am I too fast for you?" Still in the air he kicked Goku into a rock wall and stayed in the air once again laughing. He's became very happy now that he's become a giant monkey. "Come now Kakarot. You can do better than that. Too shy to make your move huh? Well than I'll come to you!"
Goku jumped in front of Vegeta's face and cried out, "Tien I'm gonna have to borrow one of your moves!" I figured out just what move he was talking about when he placed his hands on each side of his face and closed his eyes. Quickly I clenched my eyes shut and buried my face in Vegeta's thick fur. "Solar Flare!"
I could still see the bright light through the fur and my lids, but luckily I didn't see the full thing unlike Vegeta who came to an immediate halt and clasped his hands over his eyes in pain. "My eyes!" While Vegeta was still attempting to get his eyesight back Goku flew off. Still roaring in pain Vegeta shouted, "You arrogant… impudent little….," Now his eyes better he looked around and roared, "Coward!... Where are you? Come out and face me! Don't even think about sneaking away. I can smell your fear from halfway across the globe." He gave a roar of aggravation. "When I get my hands on you!" Vegeta then spotted Goku and shot a chi blast from his mouth at him. "Take this!"
Goku took the blast straight on. When the dust cleared I could see him laying flat on the ground. Vegeta landed and mocked, "You put up a good struggle but it seems you've reached the end of your rope, am I right?" Goku stood holding his right arm in pain. "Whatever shall you do?" Vegeta asked kicking Goku into a wall. He then stepped on him. "Whoops!" Vegeta cried out in false sympathy. "My mistake… I ought to be more careful of where I step. How clumsy of me. But then again you're lucky I crushed your legs and not your skull. This is the end of the line Kakarot. Even if you do manage to get wished back your body won't be around anymore." Vegeta lifted his leg to smash Goku all together.
Just as I stood to interfere, Goku shot a blast of chi into Vegeta's right eye. Rearing back Vegeta shouted in pain, "You… You!... How dare you leave a scar on this face! Nobody does that to me!" Vegeta reached down and picked up Goku in his hand. "Just for that I'm gonna crush you like a grape!" Vegeta began squeezing Goku between his hands literally crushing him.
"Hey stop it!" I shouted standing up on all fours and raising my hackles. It was most definitely time to step in.
Vegeta ignored me and continued to ridicule Goku, "Is that not enough for you? Maybe I should kick it up a notch!" He began to squeeze harder. Goku's screams became more frantic and I reached my breaking point.
"I said stop it!" Jumping up I clamped my jaws onto Vegeta's ears making him drop Goku in shock and pain. But what I didn't think through with my plan is that Vegeta's focus would turn to me.
Snatching me off of his ear Vegeta began to crush me. I could feel ribs bruising and me left back leg bending dangerously. "You little bitch!" Vegeta shouted in anger that his ally was now his enemy.
"I told you to stop it!" I screamed with me eyes clenched shut in pain. "Torturing is something I refuse to stand by and let happen!" That's when I felt my leg break. "AH!"
"How noble of you," Vegeta sneered squeezing harder. I yelped in pain as the first rib broke. "Now I'm obligated to keep you alive because of the treaty…" Vegeta stated pausing for a moment.
I panted before snapping through clenched teeth, "How kind of you."
That was the wrong thing to say apparently because Vegeta started to squeeze again much harder this time. "But that doesn't mean I can't beat some respect into you!" I screamed when two more ribs broke. "Huh?" Vegeta stopped and then smirked, "I think your friends are here…. How quaint."
"Hey ugly!" Gohan called out from in front of Vegeta. "You put Akuma down right now!" I stared in shock at Gohan through my one eye that wasn't clenched in pain. He didn't need to be there! He was just gonna get hurt!
Vegeta turned to the young Saiyan and drawled, "Ah, Kakarot's brat. What a pleasant surprise. A family reunion is it? How very sweet of you to come join us. Your just in time to see your father fail and this little runt to learn some respect." He laughed before continuing, "I was just thinking the moment needed something to give it that extra kick. You really can't plan for good luck like this." He laughed again. "Your father is around here somewhere. I'm afraid he's already lost conscious. But I am surprised at how long the fox here has lasted. I do believe I've broken a few things already." Vegeta then held me out flat on his palm.
'I can't move!' I thought frantically looking around. 'His reflexes are too fast now that my leg is busted! I even try and he'll close his fist squishing me like a bug!'
"Like a leg," Vegeta said pushing down on my back leg making me scream in pain. "And maybe a few ribs." Again I screamed at the agonizing pain as more pressure was applied to my ribs.
Suddenly Vegeta jumped in the air holding me close to his chest so as not to drop me. 'What the hell?' I thought annoyed with Saiyans. 'One minute he's breaking ribs and the next he's holding me to his damn chest? Fuck Saiyans and their damn confusing mood swings!' I ranted to myself. Raiden had been like that too. Truthfully that's how every Kitsune Saiyan relationship works. Kitsunes push the Saiyans buttons and Saiyans have short tempers normally leading to fights like that.
I noticed what Vegeta jumped for when a round disk of energy flew under him and sliced the rock Gohan was standing on. Vegeta landed back on the ground and placed me on a higher rock a little away from where the fight was going to take place. "I think you've learned your lesson."
"Gee... thanks," I bit out. I really should work on not trying to piss him off. I don't feel like getting the shit beat out of me every time I feel like being a smart ass. Maybe I should look into having Bulma install that little filter everyone else seems to have between their mouths and brains.
Vegeta sent me a glare and bit out, "Still need to work on that tongue of yours." He then swiftly turned to Krillin who had sent the attack from behind. "I hope for your sake you weren't expecting me to fall for that trick…" He gave an amused snort, "As if the brat could muster up the courage to come all the way back here on his own. I'll give you some credit though, you at least knew enough to go after my tail. And now that you've blown your one shot you have no choice but to watch as I finish Kakarot." He laughed and bent down to pick up Goku, "Don't worry it won't take long and once I'm done with him, you'll be next in line." Laughing once again he mocked, "Challenging me was your first mistake and fortunately for you it will also prove to be your last." Vegeta then began to squeeze Goku again.
"Noo!" Gohan shouted unable to listen to his father's screams. "No stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" I tried to stand but I was in too much pain. All I could do was lie there and clench my eyes in hopes of getting rid of the image of Goku's pain drenched face.
Vegeta paused for a moment before walking towards Gohan. "Well now are you too impatient to wait your turn like a good little boy?" Gohan froze in fear seeing that Vegeta was targeting him next. "Poor thing. Too scared to even move. Such a tragedy." Vegeta suddenly froze and then roared in pain. Looking over I noticed a short fat man run off putting his sword up after just cutting off Vegeta's tail.
I saw red after noticing that. To a Kitsune, cutting off another's tail is a horrible act, seeing as that's one of the only ways to kill a Kitsune and that it takes decades just to grow a second one, unless it's completely necessary. I knew that Vegeta wasn't going to kill the others. They would have pulled through. But this fat man just did the most pathetic thing I had ever seen in a fight. He cut off another's tail and then ran off. I wouldn't have been pissed if he had stayed and fought but he just ran off! Pushing myself up, not even thinking of my pain, I took off after the fat ass. "Come back here tubby!"
When he noticed me running after him fangs bared and flames coming from my paws he screamed like a little girl and called back to me, "Ahh! I was trying to help!"
"Cutting off another's tail and running away is a pathetic act!" Normally I wouldn't have cared but my feelings had started growing towards Vegeta... Damn my Kitsune blood.
"I just saved your life!" He shouted still running, but I was gaining fast.
"I was gonna live the whole damn time and so was Goku! Now get back here! I'm about to show you The South Bitch Diet!" I then got ready to pounce.
He glared and turned back to me, "Oh why do you have to keep bringing up my weight!"
"Because you have enough of it to spare for a few jokes!" I shouted before jumping onto the man. All anyone could see was a cloud of dust.
But it was very easy to hear tubby's screams, "AH NO! PLEASE HELP ME! OW! STOP THAT HURTS! HOW CAN YOU MOVE SO MUCH YOU HAVE A BROKEN LEG AND RIBS!
"SHUT UP!" I shouted back before walking away from the dust cloud wiping my hands and still looking just as I had going in. When the dust cloud disappeared everyone could see the fat man laying on the ground beaten and bloody. "You don't fuck with some body's tail." With that I left back for the battle flicking my two tails in his face. Back on four legs it didn't take me long to make it back to the battle field.
When I got back to the field I saw Vegeta, no longer a monkey man, standing in front of Gohan, who was on the ground. "Go ahead and join forces if you like," Vegeta ground out. "A few more won't make a difference. Not against an elite like me. You don't stand a chance."
I got a sweat drop and muttered to myself, "Geez I'm gone for five minutes and he's still an arrogant ass."
"Your fate was decided the moment I set foot on this miserable planet." Vegeta smirked and continued, "It's time we put an end to this." Gohan stepped back in fear, until Vegeta started shooting multiple chi blast at him; Gohan started hauling ass away when that happened. "You can't run from me forever!" Vegeta shouted throwing even more chi. Gohan tripped and was blasted into a wall.
"Gohan!" I shouted running down to him but stopped when he pushed himself out of the debris.
Vegeta ran towards Gohan and shouted to Goku, "I hope you're watching Kakarot cause this is the last time you'll get to see your pathetic excuse for a son!" Just then Krillin threw a ball of energy at Vegeta. My eyes widened when I noticed what it was. A Spirit Bomb! How in the hell did Krillin manage that?
Then I saw Vegeta jump over the spirit bomb leaving it to go straight towards Gohan. "Gohan!" I shouted racing forward again. "Bounce it back! It's aimed at Vegeta! You'll be fine!" Gohan held out his hands and pushed the spirit bomb away and towards Vegeta. The energy of the spirit bomb sent Gohan lying back and towards a wall. I caught him though before he could hit it. I opened my jaws and let go of his shirt allowing him to drop to the ground.
I then looked up to see Vegeta get hit by the blast and get sent off into the sky. "Damnit... Eh, I'll win him back over later."
"Yahoo!" Krillin cried out running over to Goku, laughing. "We did it Goku! We did it! I can't believe it! I didn't think we could do it but then we did!" Gohan laughed also and ran over to his dad. I, however, stayed put and looked back up to the sky. Vegeta's energy, though low, could still be felt. He wasn't done yet. And like clockwork Vegeta's body fell back down and landed next to Goku.
Gohan fell back in fear and stammered, "It's him again!"
Krillin on the other hand had a totally different view on the situation. He confidently walked to the fallen Saiyan and said, "He can't hurt you." Bending down next to Vegeta he said to him, "You were evil but I guess we can't just leave you out here. That wouldn't be right."
Suddenly Vegeta opened his good eye and growled, "I'm not through with you yet!"
The boys all gasped in surprise while I limped over and used my head to help Vegeta up. Glaring at him I bit out, "Why the hell am I helping you?"
Vegeta ignored my rhetorical question and talked to Gohan and Krillin, "I have to admit you really did a number on me. For a minute there I thought I was done for." Krillin backed away scared. "You may have wounded me," Vegeta said standing fully now. "But I still have enough energy to take care of a weakling like you," He then bitched slapped Krillin in the face sending him flying a few yards away. "And once I finished with you here I will go replenish my strength and come back to destroy every living thing on this planet." He walked over the Gohan. "You've made me use more of my power than I have in a very long time. And to think … it's just a bunch of puny spineless earth trash… hurts my pride." Glaring he said, "I've had enough. I'm finished playing your stupid little games. Now your tie is finally up. So be prepared to be the first humans lucky enough to fall by my hands." He then began to focus all of his energy. Rocks flew up into the air and the wind blew hard all around us.
When Vegeta finished focusing his energy everyone was sent flying. I landed on a rock still in view of everything. Forcing myself up I continued to watch how this thing would turn out and when I would next need to jump in. Vegeta almost fell over from the strain he had just put on his body but he luckily caught himself. Flying into the air he headed over to where Gohan had landed. I followed after him jumping from rock to rock, not having enough energy to fly.
Vegeta froze in front of Gohan and I landed beside him to see why. I almost fell over in shock when I saw that Gohan's tail had actually grown back! "That little brat!" Vegeta spat. "It grew back!"
"Seems so," I said and jumped up onto a rock to stay out of the way in case anything happened.
Vegeta grabbed Gohan tail and then quickly looked to the artificial moon in the sky. "If he were able to transform he'd be trouble." And that was true. I knew that Gohan, only being a half Saiyan and never having transformed before, would be completely out of control. Vegeta began to focus energy to cut off Gohan's tail. I didn't agree with it but I knew it was for the best. Gohan wouldn't have any idea of what damage he would be doing in his great ape form.
Suddenly Vegeta was hit in the face by a giant mass of orange. "You again!" I shouted getting up and chasing after tubby.
"Ahh!" He screamed and ran. "I thought you left!"
"Like hell!C'mon run fat boy run!" I almost had him until I put too much pressure on my back leg and I fell.
"Hey I just took out the bad guy for you! I told you he wasn't so tough." Fat boy paused next to Vegeta and boasted. "I'm better than you! You hear that Saiyan? Nobody messes with Yajirobe and lives! Tough luck for you!"
Vegeta pushed himself up and growled, "Why you little… Dare to mock me?" He began to stalk Yajirobe who took several steps back. Closing his eyes fat boy began to swing his sword around hoping to at least hit Vegeta once, but even as weak as he was at the moment Vegeta still dodged every strike.
Yajirobe tripped over a rock and landed flat on his ass. Seeing no other way out he began to beg for his life. "Whoa time out I was just playing! Hold on you didn't think I was really trying to hurt you did you?" He stood and again began to back up. "No way would I ever start a fight with a guy as strong as you. Actually I was thinking that you and me could join forces." Yajirobe and Vegeta join forces? I snickered at the ludicrous thought of Vegeta stooping that low.
"Shut up!" Vegeta shouted having enough of the fat mans useless dribble. He then punched him in the face sending the big man into a rock. I looked away quickly when Yajirobe landed. Half of his big ass was hanging out of his damn diaper thing.
Still looking away I muttered to Vegeta, "As much as I would like to finish him off for you that is not a sight I want to see."
Vegeta glared at Yajirobe, "Hn, I'll finish the little shit off myself." He stalked towards Tubby and roared, "If you think you can spill the royal blood of Prince Vegeta then you are sadly mistaken." The both of us paused when we felt Gohan's energy begin to surge and pulsate. "Oh no you don't!" Vegeta shouted running off to Gohan along with me. "Not if I can help it!" He stopped before the transforming boy. "No! I'm too late!" Vegeta began to punch Gohan repeatedly in desperation. "You little brat! I'm not going to let you transform! I won't!" Gohan despite Vegeta's punches continued to get larger and started to roar. "I have to stop him now while I still can!"
"Vegeta, It's too late! Move away!" I called down to my forced ally.
"His tail!... I've been so focused on stopping his transformation that I forgot about it! Vegeta jumped over Gohan's much larger stomach to his tail. Reaching down and grabbing it he yelled, trying to will it to be true, "If I could just tear it off." He pulled on the tail but nothing was happening.
I noticed Gohan sit up and lift his arm. "Vegeta look out!" But I was too late. Gohan smashed Vegeta's head into the ground. Roaring Gohan stood and began to smash rocks everywhere. "Damnit!" I shouted quickly jumping away before one of Gohan's fists knocked me out.
"Gohan!" Krillin shouted. "Not us the Saiyan! You have to get the Saiyan!" Gohan paused for a moment before turning and heading back towards Vegeta.
Vegeta glared at Krillin and cursed, "Why ... You little!"
"Now!" Goku shouted and Gohan threw down the rock.
"Fuck my life!" I shouted and ran down to bump Vegeta out of the way of the rock. Breathing heavy and shaking I hissed to myself, "Stupid fucking Kitsune blood!" I then spun my head quickly at Vegeta and shouted, "You owe me big time!" Running over I pushed my head under his arm and helped him stand."Hold on!" I shouted and jumped out of the way of a giant fist that was about to crush us. Vegeta situated himself on my back. "If I can get you to the tail can you cut it off?" I asked still running around avoiding Gohan as best as I could.
Grabbing hold of my fur Vegeta panted, "Yes, but I only have enough energy for one shot."
"Great!" I shouted in mock happiness and froze when I noticed we were at a dead end. I didn't have any time to think so I just ran straight up the 90 degree angle and jumped having Gohan's fist barely miss us before landing on his arm and running up. I jumped off his back and spun in the air so that Gohan's hand would miss the both of us. Landing on the ground I almost fell over almost not able to hold both Vegeta and myself up. "Just so you know it's very hard to save your ass with cracked ribs and a broken leg."
"We'll get those healed as soon as we're done here," He promised holding on to my fur a little tighter when he saw another fist heading our way.
"Oh, thanks!" I bit out jumping away. "I don't suppose an apology will come any time soon!"
Gohan sent another punch and I ran up his arm again. This time he slung us off. I noticed his tail coming our way so I turned in the air to make sure that Vegeta wouldn't get hit by the thing. I yelped in pain and Vegeta flew off of me when the both of us hit the wall. When I hit the wall a rock sliced across the span of my face and causing blood to flow into my left eye. I tried to stand again but it was too painful. "D-damnit!"
Vegeta quickly stood and helped me up. "I'm sorry!" I was so shocked that he had actually apologized that I froze. "Now get up and let's move!" With new found confidence, thanks to Vegeta swallowing his pride and apologizing, I stood and jumped away as soon as Vegeta got on my back.
"Apology accepted!" I said jumping away from a giant monkey foot. I ran to a few rocks away only to have Gohan jump after me. "This is all your fault!" I shouted to Vegeta and ran again.
"Don't start with me now fox!" He shouted back the situation and our tempers getting the best of us.
"I wouldn't have to start if you wouldn't underestimate opponents and then have to save your ass when they prove to be too much!"
"Just shut up and get me to his tail!"
"Oh, yes young prince!" I growled and jumped to the side almost throwing him off. "Anything you wish is my fucking command!"
"Your sarcasm is not needed!"
"Neither is your face!"
"You idiot!" Jumping into the air I turned and saw Gohan jump into the air after us. "One more attack!" Vegeta shouted and mustered whatever energy he could into an attack. "Take this!" He screamed sending the attack at Gohan and, thankfully, slicing off his tail.
I landed on the ground and shuttered for a moment before completely collapsing. Vegeta rolled off my back only to have Gohan land on him narrowly missing myself. "Well that was close..." I panted out before closing my eyes and lying still to regain my energy.
I looked back up when I heard Vegeta rustling around. He reached into his battle suit and brought out a remote. Pressing a button he fell back flat and waited for a moment. Then the pod he came here in landed behind him. "Finally... Let's go fox." Vegeta said turning onto his stomach.
I looked over the pod and snorted, "No way in hell the both of us are fitting in that. I'll find you later. We'll team up then." I looked to him a noticed his disbelieving glare. Smiling I promised, "You have my word as a Kitsune. Now hurry the hell up."
He nodded before crawling to the pod muttering angrily. But I couldn't relax yet because I noticed Krillin walking towards Vegeta Yajirobe's sword in his hand. I slowly forced myself to stand and walk forward. Vegeta had just made it to his pod when Krillin stopped him and growled, "Stop right there." Vegeta looked at Krillin in shock and he froze. "You're not leaving. Not after what you did to my friends." He lifted up the sword and prepared to bring it down. "You're gonna pay!"
"Can't move… I don't have any power left!" Vegeta shouted to himself, but he didn't need to worry because I quickly got in front of him causing Krillin to freeze in shock. I was a sight to make anyone freeze, truthfully. My eyes were almost glowing in anger and blood ran into them. My fangs were bared and my matted black fur was raised in aggression. My entire body was trembling, ready to just collapse at any moment.
"Akuma move!" Krillin shouted at me but I just growled and stayed put. "Move Akuma this is what he disserves!" I growled louder and shook my head. "Then I'll have to go around you!" He lifted the sword only to stop and look around. "G-Goku? Why am I hearing voices and why don't they want me to hurt the Saiyan?" He looked over to where Goku was and asked, "Goku that was you right?"
Figuring out that Goku was telepathically talking with Krillin I took that moment to turn and attempt to help Vegeta into the pod. "And just how do you expect us to meet up again?" He asked still not believing me.
"I'm a Kitsune dumbass," I growled out ignoring the angry glare he sent me. "It'll be child's play to find you." Finally getting the man into the pod I turned when I heard the sword clang to the ground.
"I don't like it," Krillin said to Goku. "But if that's how you want it then that's good enough for me." I ignored Krillin again and got Vegeta's last leg into the pod.
"Well it's about time for me to make my exit," Vegeta said with a smirk to Krillin. "But this isn't over not by a long shot. And there won't be a miracle to save you next time. That I can personally guaranty."
"Yeah, yeah," I said and quickly transformed giving Vegeta a swift kiss on the cheek moving before the door hit me. "See ya then hot stuff!" I gave a small wave and a wink to Vegeta who was glaring at me.
"Idiot fox!" I heard his muffled yell before the ship took off. No longer able to hold myself up I collapsed on the ground and watched as Krillin walked over to Gohan, who was still laying naked where he had fallen onto Vegeta.
"You ok, Gohan?" He asked turning the boy over. He picked him up and said, "It's all over now."
"Well I guess my work here is done!" A voice called out causing me to snap my eyes open and growl. Standing I stalked over to the fat ass and growled louder. He looked up to me before screaming in fear and running after Krillin. "Wait up badly don't leave me here!" He then tripped over a rock and landed flat on his face and knocking himself out.
I didn't even bother to look at him as I passed walking over to Goku with Krillin and Gohan. "Thanks Krillin," Goku said. "I know that wasn't easy for you."
"It really wasn't especially with Akuma standing in the way." Krillin said glaring as I walked over.
I was so weak that I couldn't even keep my ears and tails hidden. Dropping down next to Goku I said quietly, "I didn't have a choice." When I didn't get an answer I continued, "I'm bound to him by a treaty signed between Kitsunes and Saiyans. I would be going against Kitsune law to not help him." Looking up at Krillin I softly asked, "Do you know what the penalty would be for breaking such a law?" He just looked at me with wide eyes. "Public execution," I answered angrily. "You get taken to the middle of the Kitsune realm and all the Kitsunes come to watch as all of your tail are cut off one by one and when a Kitsune no longer has it's tail it dies a slow painful death, in front of everybody." Cutting my eyes back and Krillin I said, "So forgive me for obeying a treaty I never wanted to have signed." I then waited for Krillin to say something but again he was quiet. "I not only helped him but you as well." He nodded and continued to listen. "I'm a Kitsune finding loopholes is what i do and I'll use them to your advantage."
"Sorry Akuma," Krillin said looking ashamed.
Laughing I weakly waving him off and said, "Don't be... it's normal not to trust Kitsunes."
Krillin nodded and sat down himself. Suddenly we heard a ship coming towards us. "He's coming back?" Krillin asked shocked and confused.
"That's not a pod," I said sitting up with a wince and shaking my head.
When it got closer I saw Roshi hanging out of the window and waving. We all smiled and laughed in relief until we heard... "GOHAN!" Suddenly Chichi jumped from the ship and bee lined to Krillin and Gohan. Jumping over Goku she tackled Krillin to the ground and snatched Gohan from him. Sobbing she cried out, "Gohan are you ok? It's alright mommy's here! Come on Gohan wake up!"
I tried to stop Krillin as he walked over to Chichi but he paid me no mind, "Don't worry Gohan will be just fine." He pointed over to where Goku was and said, "Goku's the one who's really hurt. He'll live but he's in pretty bad shape." Chichi paid no mind and continued to coddle Gohan. Not that I blamed her. I had a son myself and would still do the same thing. He wouldn't appreciate that though being twenty five and all. I couldn't help the sad smile that came over me. I hadn't seen him in about five years.
Bulma and Roshi walked over to where I was with Goku. "Talk to me Goku. Are you ok?" Bulma asked leaning over him.
"Looks like they really did a number on you," Roshi muttered.
Goku smiled and said, "It's not so bad but sorry... he got away."
"Well done," Korin said walking over. "Not just anyone can run off a Saiyan warrior."
"Korin is that you?" Goku asked not able to look around and see him. "Hey."
Krillin walked over as well. "He's right you wouldn't believe how strong that guy was. The five of us were lucky to survive... I just wish it was the same for everybody else..."
Seeing this was getting emotional I decided that now would be a good time to move. I walked a little ways a head and dropped to the ground completely dropping my human form. I didn't have enough energy to keep it up. I opened an eye when I heard someone step in front of me. Looking up I recognized Krillin. "We're, uh, we're going to pick up the bodies and head to the hospital. Do you need help getting up?"
Smiling at him I shook my head. "I'm gonna heal the Kitsune way if you don't mind." Smiling and nodding his head Krillin began to walk away before I called him back, "Hey Krillin," Seeing I had his attention I continued, "I don't think Earth is the only planet that has dragon balls." He stared at me in shock. "Think of it. If Kami created the dragon balls then other Nameks must have made more dragon balls on their home planet." I saw the hopeful look in his eye and quickly threw in, "That's just a theory though! Nothing is set in stone."
Still smiling Krillin smiled and said, "It's a theory I'm willing to try and prove!" He went to walk away but stopped and turned back to me. "Are you sure you don't want to come?"
"Nah, I have a feeling this is an emotional moment I don't need to be a part of," I gave one last smile before standing. "Let me know if you figure anything out!"
I started to walk away but stopped when Krillin called out, "How do I do that?"
"Just reach out to my energy and think," I began to limp away. "See ya."
"Bye!" he called out just as I jumped away and out of sight.
