Chapter 2: The Deadly Duo

Kami's Lookout

Kami looked down at the Earth, he had kept his post as Guardian for so many years… So many threats quelled, so many crises averted in all this time. Yet somehow, he could feel this one was much worse. He hadn't felt fear like this in all his time as Guardian. The Saiyans were a formidable threat, so were Frieza and his father, but this? He couldn't shake the feeling that the worst was yet to come, and it frightened the old Namekian.

As he pondered what this could all mean, he felt an all too familiar energy signature approaching the lookout. "I imagined this would happen sooner or later." the Guardian said to himself regretfully. "I just wish I had more time."


On Amenbo Island

"So you two caused all this destruction? I have to say, I am almost impressed! A pair of children like you doing all this?" Vegeta stood cockily with his arms crossed. He decided he would have fun with these two before he killed them. It had been a long time since he mocked an opponent after all. His Saiyan blood had him itching for battle in a way he hadn't felt since he'd seen Gohan transform in the Gravity Chamber.

"This one is Vegeta, according to Gero's files." Vegeta heard the one with black hair say.

"Yeah, and somehow he's even more arrogant than I thought. I'm the one who should be impressed!" the blonde one replied.

The duo descended and landed just twenty feet in front of the Saiyan warrior. He simply uncrossed his arms in response, the same cocky smirk plastered on his face.

"What's he smiling about 18? You think he's gone nuts?"

"Don't think so, he probably just hasn't realized he's going to die yet." she replied.

"Are you two done? I have to get back to my training so I'd prefer if we could get this done quickly!" Vegeta acted confident, but there was something worrying about his opponents. 'This is strange, even at this distance I still can't sense them, what are they?' he didn't have much time to dwell on these thoughts as the woman spoke up.

"Don't worry about that Vegeta. This will be over much quicker than you think," she stepped forward, a sadistic smile spread across her beautiful face. "I'll take him 17, just stand back."

"Don't know why you're wasting your time though sis, we could just kill him right now and get it over with."

"I know, I want to have some fun with him though." She replied.

"Oh, I see. Go ahead then, have at it, just don't make too much of a mess." 17 laughed and sat down on the remains of a nearby house. 'This should be fun to watch.'

"Before I end your pathetic existence, I feel the need to ask. Why can't I feel your energy?" The flame-haired warrior inquired.

"Does it matter? You'll be dead soon anyway, it won't make much of a difference then."

"You're right, I'll figure it out once you're both dead. Let me make one thing clear, I won't hold back just because you're a woman!" With that, the Prince took off, directing a punch at 18's temple. He intended to knock her out immediately and end this without destroying the city any further. Not that he cared for any of these people in the least, he just didn't want to hear Bulma complaining any further about the destruction.

To his surprise, his fist struck air. "Over here!" Vegeta turned around and found the woman smiling at him. "What's wrong Vegeta? Is a woman too fast for you?"

Angered, Vegeta redoubled his efforts, yet he was met with the same results. This time he looked up to see the woman levitating a few feet above him.

"She what I mean sis? He can't even keep up! You sure you don't want me to just kill him?" 17 shouted at his sister.

"No, I'm enjoying myself. Can't you go pick off some survivors and leave me alone?" She yelled back, annoyed at her brother's impatience.

"Fine, whatever! I'll be back in a few minutes. Have your fun…" 17 got up and flew off, eager to try out a gun he had picked off a corpse.

"And where does he think he's going? You two aren't going anywhere!" The Prince immediately powered up to his maximum in his base form. Right as he was about to give chase the woman appeared in front of him.

BOFF! He was instantly rocked backward by what felt like a punch. He hadn't seen it coming. "Wow, that looks like it hurt! Are you okay?" 18 mocked the man, who was currently shaking his head. "Don't tell me it's over so quickly, I was just beginning to enjoy myself!" She closed her eyes and started laughing uncontrollably, she couldn't believe how easy this was.

"HAHAHAHA!" 18 looked up, stunned to see Vegeta having the time of his life. "I didn't expect you to actually go insane Ve-"

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He continued, unable to stop. Annoyed, she felt compelled to ask: "What the hell are you laughing about? You do realize you're completely outclassed? Or do you still believe you can beat me?"

"You actually think you've won? I'm only getting started, you fool! The ground slowly began to shake. "Consider yourself fortunate, not many can say they witnessed a legend before they died!" The wind picked up and small pieces of debris began levitating around Vegeta.

'This should be interesting… There isn't anything in Gero's files about this kind of power. It still won't be enough to save him though, not even close.'

"Say your prayers woman, this day you die!" The ground beneath him cracked, energy poured out from his body, his aura grew larger and brighter. His eyes changed to teal, his hair flashed yellow.

"HYAAAA!" With a final scream, the warrior of legend surged once again. Golden light pulsed around Vegeta, he was more powerful than ever before, he felt unstoppable.

The golden-haired saiyan smirked. 'She was finished the moment this battle began, and she doesn't even know it!' The woman stood with her hands on her hips, watching with an amused look on her face. "If you had any hope of winning before, it's gone now. Time to say goodbye!" The Prince shot towards her, intent on ending this battle quickly. He still had to catch up to the other fool once he was done.


A few miles away from Amenbo Island

'I'm almost there, I can already feel Vegeta's energy! I'm glad he's here to help.' Gohan thought to himself.

"Hey Gohan! Wait up!" A familiar voice caused Gohan to stop in mid-air.

"Hi Krillin! Hi Yamcha!"

"Hey there kid." Krillin responded.

"Glad to see you again Gohan." Yamcha added.

"Good to see you too guys, we should keep going though, the island is close by. We can talk on the way." With that, the Z-Fighters continued on their flight to the island.

"I saw the destruction on T.V. but I can't feel anyone powerful on the island apart from Vegeta. What do you think Gohan, can we deal with this one?" Krillin asked.

"We'll be fine guys, Mr. Piccolo and I have been training a lot since I transformed. We're both much stronger!"

"I sure am glad to hear that Gohan!" Yamcha replied.

"Where is Piccolo by the way? I thought he'd be with you."

"I don't know, he was with me a few minutes ago, he said he had to go do something. Don't worry though, he promised he'd join us as soon as he could." Gohan assured his friends.

Suddenly, a massive wave of power shocked their senses. "Is that Vegeta?!" Yamcha asked, shocked by how much stronger Vegeta had become.

"Yeah, and he just got serious! We need to pick up the pace guys, he might need help!" the three warriors sped off toward the island, intent on meeting this new threat.


Kami's Lookout

"So… You've come." Kami spoke softly, his voice calm.

"I have…" Piccolo replied. He had dreaded this moment for the entirety of his short life. He hated the old Namekian, he was weak and pathetic. Kami was all the good that once resided inside Piccolo, and he resented him greatly for it. But now, after all this time, he found his hate dulled… Like a flame that no longer burned as bright. His relationship to Goku and Gohan truly had changed him after all.

"You know why I'm here, will you do it?" Piccolo asked.

"We have to wait. I… Don't know if it will be necessary." Kami responded, unsure of his words.

"Fine, but know that every second you wait could mean another life lost." Piccolo sat a few feet behind and meditated. Kami remained pensive, looking down on the Earth he had watched over for so long. 'Is my time really done?'

C- Good idea for a story

Question will kamicollo appear and fight with super saiyan Vegeta?

R- Thanks for the review. It sure looks that way, wait for the next one and you'll see.

C- Great chapter looking forward to the next one and I wonder what Piccolo is scheming (I think I have a good idea).

Looking forward to the next one and hoping Piccolo and Krillin are amongst the survivors along with Gohan and Vegeta (I know your summary says if the Z-Fighters lived but that doesn't necessarily mean all of them will survive).

Later.

R- Thank you very much for your review. Good thinking on your part, I haven't thought very much about character deaths so it's honestly still up in the air who lives and who dies.

C- Good chapter and a interesting concept...

If you're interested I have a DBZ challenge that involves dancing, time travel, and 2 Gohan's...

xD...

R- Thanks for the review. Go ahead and PM me the details, we might be able to work something out in a special chapter.

C- nice so far cant wait for the next chap.

R- Thanks for the review. Hope you enjoyed this one!
