At the battle, Vegeta was dumbstruck by Sedu's power. Last time he had encountered this sort of transformation, he had lost his wits completely. He prepared himself to not do the same.

"Now, are you prepared to fight and die by my hands?" asked Sedu.

Goku walked towards Sedu, who was a whole three feet taller than him.

"Once I have defeated you I will be sure to take pleasure in murdering every living thing on this world. I will do it very slowly, to savour their pain," bragged the giant. He threw back his head and laughed a sharp, booming sound that echoed into the sky.

Goku was overtaken with rage. He dashed at Sedu, initiating a barrage of blows from both sides. Lightning arced across the sky as the intensity of the battle grew to destructive levels. Vegeta stood watching, until he too gathered his ki and courage, and entered the battle. Vegeta and Goku attacked Sedu simultaneously, until Sedu focused his energy into his massive fist. He swung his fist, which connected with the back of Vegeta's skull, knocking him to the ground. Sedu stomped once on his back, and then kicked him across the lawn and into the city.

There was a great swell of power and a huge explosion of ki and Vegeta pulled himself to maximum strength. The sun was blocked out by the rising dust and debris, and the only illumination came from the golden light of Vegeta's strength.

He stepped forward, landing a booming blow in Sedu's stomach and kicked his legs, an attempt to break his stance and reduce the power of his kicks. Goku attacked the head and screamed advice to Vegeta.

"Vegeta! Don't attack his legs; he's only attacking with his arms!" Vegeta acknowledged this information and began pummelling Sedu's head with ki. Rapid bursts flew from his palms and exploded against Sedu's head.

"Kakarotto! Stay away from him, attack only with blasts. Don't go inside and try to beat him down! Too dangerous!" called Vegeta to Goku. Goku flew back a few metres and charged a Kamehameha Wave. The blue energy pulsed in his cupped palms. As he screamed the final syllable he threw his arms forward, forcing the energy onto Sedu's head. As the energy washed over his head, he was struck in his stomach by a bolt of ki shot by Vegeta. The Prince has stunned when neither the Kamehameha nor the blast to the stomach had any effect other than cracking his chest plate.

Sedu side-stepped, his hard elbow crashing into Goku's face. The hero collapsed, struggling to remain conscious. Sedu then charged two green balls of energy in his hands, and then flattened them into spinning disks. He pulled his arms back and flung them forward, slicing two thin tracks into the ground. Vegeta leapt to dodge them, but even that simple movement left him slightly off balance. Sedu hit him with blast to the stomach, which doubled him over and onto his knees. Vegeta felt the wide palm press onto the back of his head, and could sense the growing concentration of energy just waiting to erupt. Sedu stomped Vegeta's back then fired. The attack slammed Vegeta's face into the earth and pushed him along the ground, stopping many metres away, leaving the injured Goku alone to fight this monster.

"I guess I'll have to use my full strength on you," panted Goku.

"What?" A look of satisfaction formed over Sedu's scowl.

Goku grinned, pleased that he had another chance to use his ultimate form in a battle.

"I have managed to find another stage of Super Saiyan, one that is exponentially stronger than the last. It is only attained through training too strenuous for the body to handle," declared Goku. Sedu grinned at this news, which didn't shock him so much. This warrior gave the impression of being much cleverer than he seemed.

Goku stood calmly, organizing the many particles of ki into the correct alignment, which was needed to ascend. He focused his power, and began to raise his ki as high as it could go. It came slowly at first, but Sedu could sense more on the horizon.

Goku planted his feet far apart, and was overtaken by the rush of ki he was pulling from within himself, hidden away for so long. Finally, as the strain became almost unbearable, he began to scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The strain was taking its toll already, as his body succumbed to the pain brought on by the extreme stress. His body shook; his muscles contracted and expanded at random rates. The aura that surrounded him was a raging flame, burning through the dark sky, illuminating the battle field and giving off blinding sparks of electricity that left the world in brief periods of light.

Sedu looked over his shoulder at the city behind him. A soldier was heading out to retrieve the body of Vegeta.

"Stop! Come here," he whispered to him, barely audible over the screams of Goku. The soldier complied, a little frightened of his leader's new power, which seemed incredibly unstable.

"Bear witness to this warrior here. He is damaging his body, and shortening his life span in an attempt to destroy me and save this world. He does not know that his power will destroy the world he is trying to save."

The warrior looked at his master. What did the master know about this?

"Do you think he can beat you?" he asked carefully. Sedu pondered the question for a moment before responding.

"His power is great, one of the strongest I have ever encountered. But he is still no match for me. The Dragon returned me to my greatest possible strength, and I will be sure not to loose it this time." He turned his attention away from the soldier and back on Goku, whose hair had grown several feet. Veins had risen up from his flesh, and his eyebrows were much narrower. Suddenly, the growth in ki halted, and Goku stopped screaming. He lowered his head, to reveal his eyebrows had vanished, and his hair flared out in long golden locks. He grinned, and as he regained his calm, his ki had a sudden increase. Sedu was taken aback. Just by calming himself, he managed to double his ki! Thought Sedu, I may have to use even more of my power.

Goku stood waiting for Sedu's attack. He had calmed himself enough to reduce the strain of Super Saiyan 3, which left him with more ki to use to attack. He was proud of this achievement, because it had been extremely hard work.

"It seems you have undergone quite a transformation," praised the beastly foe. "But no matter how much stronger you have gotten, you can not kill me!"

"You are blinded by your belief that your power is almighty," retorted Goku. "You cannot sense the strength I now possess."

"Brave words from a weak foe. I shall enjoy shattering your spine, and tearing your lungs from your chest!"

"Try it!"

Goku raised his ki, bringing strength to his muscles. He lunged at Sedu and restarted the battle. His new power was put to the test as he threw a flurry of punches at Sedu's skull, forcing him to move back. Goku continued to bear down on him, and forced his opponent below him, an advantage for Goku. He expanded his ki, generating a powerful wave that applied more pressure on Sedu, so much that he was being pushed into the ground. Goku focused all of his power into his right hand and belted Sedu across the face, sending him sprawling along the ground. The saiyan followed up with a powerful Kamehameha wave to the head, which did much more than wash over Sedu's head. It drove him down into the ground, splitting and cracking the Earth and creating huge chasms and fissures. Sedu screamed as he was forced deep into the Earth. But seconds later he burst from the rock and hit Goku with lefts and rights, strong punches that rattled Goku's bones. Sedu's hits were slightly stronger than Goku's, but he couldn't throw them as fast. Gradually, the punches became sloppier, while Goku's blows remained sharp and hard. After was seemed like hours of brutal beatings, Sedu remained composed, while Goku was fighting wilder, caught up in the fury of battle.

"You... won't win!" panted Goku.

"I don't think I have ever fought anyone as powerful as you. You should be pleased," chuckled Sedu. Goku regained his posture and charged again. Sedu grinned as the saiyan warrior came ever closer.

Almost halfway around the world Goten and Trunks sat on the grass in front of Goku's house.

"Do you think my brother has gotten there yet?" asked Goten nervously.

"Well, we would have felt a change in the battle," replied Trunks. Just as the words left his mouth, they felt another power grow to incredible heights.

"Is that Gohan?" asked Trunks.

"It can't be," stated Goten. "I heard him tell Dad that he can't raise his power anymore, so it can't be him."

"Maybe it's your Dad! Or my Dad!"

"I hope they're alright."

"I'm sure they are. Our Dads are the strongest in the universe."

"Stupid Gohan. He should be there by now."

"If we fused, then we would get there super quick!"

Goten got excited.

"Yeah! Then we could be the heroes!"

They jumped up and became Super Saiyans. Just as Goten was about to fly off, Trunks stopped him.

"Idiot, if we fly un-fused we won't get there before your brother beats this guy!"

"Oh. Let's fuse now then!"

"Alright"

They walked away from each other, then bent their legs as if squatting. They extended both arms together, both pointing away from their partner.

"Fu..." They both droned, sidling towards each other while rotating their arms.

"Sion..." They stood on one leg and stuck their arms out again.

"Ha!" They leaned into each other. A flash of light engulfed them for a moment, and when it dimmed, a single person remained.

Gotenks looked around and down at himself. He had gotten a lot taller since last time. He looked into the sky and blasted off, leaving a golden streak in his wake.

Meanwhile, Gohan flew through the clouds. He was very close to the fight, and he could see the golden glow of the two combatants Super Saiyan auras.

As he traversed the sky, he looked down and caught a glimpse of Central City. There were saiyans ransacking it, ploughing down buildings. Gohan stopped in midair and descended.

When he landed, he heard a shrill scream. He looked around and saw Videl being beaten by two saiyans. Gohan ploughed through them easily.

"Gohan!" murmured Videl.

"It's alright. I'll finish this."

He leapt up and punched a saiyan, who was knocked into the sky. Gohan watched his distant fall. All around him, he could sense more soldiers lurking just beyond his vision.

If they think they can hide from me in the night, thought Gohan, they're dead wrong.

He raised his arm and fired a blast of ki in a random direction. He saw a flash of light, as well as three saiyans disintegrating. He whipped around and fired again, taking out two this time. He did this three more times until it bored him.

"Let's see how many I can knock out in a minute," he challenged himself.

Gohan sensed one just to his right, and he dashed towards it as fast as he could. He punched him and from there shot towards another one. Moving as quickly as he could, he began to obliterate them in a spiral pattern.

Gohan managed to kill six-hundred-twenty-four by his count. He stopped for a moment and tracked Sedu's ki. It was large, but not as large as his fathers. Goku was stronger! Gohan let his fears wash away. Since his father was stronger, he could finish killing the warriors.

Gohan bathed himself in warm relief for a moment, and then set back to work. There were many saiyans on the Earth, and he had to obliterate each one of them.

At the fight, Goku was able to pull enough ki into his body that he was able to maintain a steady fight with Sedu. He was slowly gaining the upper hand, he could sense it.

"You seem to be getting tired!" taunted Goku. "Maybe you should give up!"

"Do you think that I would give up this easily? I am the Legendary Super Saiyan!"

"We've fought many who thought they were the Legendary Super Saiyan, and we defeated them all!"

"Deny it all you'd like. It won't affect this battle. You alone cannot destroy me!"

"But together we can!" shouted a hoarse voice.

Sedu and Goku looked and saw Vegeta forcing himself out of the ruined building in which he was entombed.

"Vegeta!" Goku was exhilarated. With Vegeta's support, they may be able to defeat Sedu. Goku flew away from Sedu to stand by Vegeta.

"So, you aren't dead yet? I shouldn't have fought you so lightly," sneered Sedu.

"You won't destroy me that easily," replied Vegeta. He stared at Sedu, rage building behind he black, ruthless eyes. He swished something his mouth a bit, then spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"Kakarotto, there is only one way we can defeat this monster!"

"Are you talking about fusion?"

Vegeta looked at Sedu, who was patiently waiting for them to finish their conversation. He then looked at Goku.

"Yes. Even with your Super Saiyan Three power, you are no match for him. I know that he wasn't even using half of his power."

"What?!" Goku trembled with realization. That was why Sedu was so calm during the fight; he wasn't using all of his power. That much strength could sacrifice his control.

"And my full power will be a drop in the bucket compared to yours. There is no other choice."

"Alright. Do you know the fusion dance?"

"I learned it from Trunks. I saw him practicing alone, in case he needed to use it once more. I have figured out the rest, I hope."

"Alright then." Goku let out all of his energy calmly and he lowered himself to Super Saiyan Two. He reduced his power to match Vegeta's.

"Alright, here goes nothing!"

Vegeta nodded, a solemn look engraved into his face as he watched Sedu smile, knowing he had heard every word.
