Chapter 03 – Battle for the Earth
Author Note : Enjoy! Also, reminder: Events of Dragon Ball Infinity take place in Parrael Time-Line of original Dragon Ball.
As Fighters begin to close to the crater which used to be North City, Morpehans would had gotten ready to fight, as would Garlic Junior. "...You know what you are not allowed do, correct?" Avaflux asks from Makyan who frowns. "Yeah yeah. No Dead Zone", He replies. "Good. Moment you use it, you lose..." Avaflux would say.
It would not take long for Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta and Goku arrive, followed by Yamcha, Tien and Krillin. "...So these are the ones who destroyed the North City..." Goku thinks. He then notices Garlic Junior. "Wait, isn't that..." Gohan narrows his eyes as well. "Garlic Junior..." Garlic Junior fixes his glare straight on Gohan. "...I take that is the brat who sealed me in the first place..." He says. "Few years have passed so makes sense he has gotten older..." Krillin frowns as he sees Garlic Junior. "...Great, him again..." Yamcha pats Krillin on shoulder. "Don't worry, I finish this quick." He then would charge at Garlic Junior. "Yamcha, don't!" Krillin calls out.
Yamcha would not be stopped by the Morpheans as he begins to pummel the Garlic Junior with his Wolf Fang Fist, followed by a Kamehameha which would send Makyan to the wall. "See Krillin? He is not that tough", Yamcha would say, smirking. "Moron! He is Immortal!" Krillin would yell. Yamcha blinks. "Eh?" In next moment, Garlic Junior would grab him from behind in his powered up form, before punching him to the back and tossing him in air and aiming to blast him with his energy blast. Luckily for Yamcha, Goku would intercept the blast. "Krillin, take Yamcha and give him a Senzu!" Goku would call as he tosses in turn Yamcha to Krillin. "Got it!" Krillin would take distance, as Goku looks at Garlic Junior. "...He has gotten more powerful", He thinks. "Also, he is Immortal, so this is not going to be easy..."
"...That was pathetic. You dropped your guard because you are immortal", Avaflux would say to Garlic Junior. "Oh be quiet", makyan says. "Still... I am not only one who has powered up in past years. They are much stronger than when we last fought..." "Hmph. I don't think they are that tough", Avaflux says, then glaring at Goku and Vegeta. "Those two are different story though..."
Soon enough, Piccolo would arrive, followed by Quasin, Cili and Miria. Garlic Junior smirks. "Oh hello there Piccolo", Garlic would begin. "How's Kami?" Piccolo smirks. "We fused", He then says. Garlic blinks and takes a step backwards. "...You what!?" He calls out as he thinks. "...It would explain why he got so much powerful and why I cannot sense Kami anymore..." Avaflux meanwhile glares at Quasin. "...Betrayer..." He says, venom in his words. "Garlic. That one is mine to deal with", He says as he aims his hand at Quasins direction.
It does not take long for Quasin to react. "...Move!" He calls out, Miria and Cili jumping backwards with Piccolo as Quasin forms a forcefield. In a next moment, Forcefield is blasted by beam of pure energy, causing it to crack. Quasin takes a deep breath as shield barely holds the blast. "...He is faster and stronger than three hundred years ago", Quasin thinks. "...He is going to be difficult."
Lord Pyrax would glare at Piccolo a moment. "...In this form, I cannot deal with him", He thinks. Golem made from stone walks next to him. "He found out your weakness, then?" Golem asks in deep voice. "...Gaiak", Pyrax begins. "Let's use -it-" Golem smirks. "Fine". Pyrax' body would turn into flames which then merge with Gaiak's body of stones, which begins to heat up and melt from joints. He then laughs. "Green Man!" He then calls out. "Face me if you dare! High Lord Magmax challenges you!" Piccolo narrows his eyes. "So they can fuse together... I doubt I can disperse him with stones anymore..."
Avaflux narrows his eyes, as Quasin notices this. He aims his hand at Magmax, gathering water to his palm and blasting it at magma elemental whose body begins to petrify. "Moron. Did he forget that Quasin used to be a Water Elemental..." He says. "...Not that it is enough to stop him", he adds. True enough, magma heats up again quickly, petrified parts turning liquid again. He then glares at Quasin for a moment, before turning his attention back at Piccolo.
Goten and Trunks look each other, then at the Magmax. "Don't think you are only one who can do Fusion!" They say, before they begin Fusion Dance. "Fu-sion-ha!" After a bright flash of light, Gotenks would appear. "Tadaa! Enter Gotenks, Grim Reaper of Justice!" He then calls out. Magmax glares at Gotenks and Piccolo. "Come at me!" He then snarls.
Elsewhere, Tien, Krillin and restored Yamcha would be fighting solider-class Morpheans, assisted by Miria who would use her magic to force them in solid form so three earthlings could hit them. Cili would join them in the fight, taking out few soldiers herself.
Meanwhile Gohan would be fighting Garlic Junior, who would manage to keep up with half-saiyan surprisingly well. "Go on, hit me all you like!" Garlic snarls. "I am immortal! I won't get tired no matter how much you hit, and when you are done It will be my turn to tear you limb by limb!" Gohan would carefully analyze Makyans movement. "...I am not as good I used to be, but in that form his moves are predictable..." Gohan thinks. "But it is true that he is Immortal... We need to find a way to deal with him, or he will outlast us..."
Goku and Vegeta would be facing elemental being made from both Light and Shadow, who looks between two. "...How disapointing... I doubt you can even land a hit on me", He then says. "What?!" Vegeta asks. "...Or can you-" He says warping behind two, punching both as he travels. Goku and Vegeta turn around at the elemental. "-Move at the Speed of Light?" he finishes his question. Vegeta glares at the elemental as does Goku, who then rushes at the elemental who keeps dodging the attacks. "Useless", he says. "What you hope to accomplish with this?" He asks. "FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta would call out. Morphean blinks, as Final Flash engulfs him. "Hah! Got him!" Vegeta calls out. As smoke clears, creature would be unharmed. "...That was close", he thinks. "You think that blast like that hurts me?" "Ka-me-ha-me" Goku would begin to then say. Taojin stares at Goku a bit. "...What are you doing?" He asks as Goku vanishes from his line of sight. "Wha-" He says as Goku appears right front of him. "HA!" Goku calls out as he fires his Kamehameha from point blank range at the creature. "Did you get him?" Vegeta would ask. Goku shakes his head as Taojin stands back up. "No, but it did hurt him..." Taojin would hold shadowy part of his body. Goku and Vegeta smirk. "...Your light side can block energy blasts, but your shadowy part can't take them can it?" "...Clever", Taojin says, forming a golden energy blade and black shield. "...I guess I need to take you seriously..."
Fights would be rather equal. Garlic Junior would be too slow to land any real hit on Gohan, while Krillin, Yamcha, Miria, Cili and Tien would had been decimating the soldiers. Goku and Vegeta both would keep Taojin at bay, switching turns in attacks every now and then. Piccolo and Gotenks would had damaged Magmax' shell, only for it repair itself soon afterwards. Quasin and Avaflux were surprisingly equal, morphean-namekian fusion barely dodging Avaflux' attacks while counter-attacking.
Several light years away, in Lord Absols ship, Chronos would be watching events through a crystal ball.. "...Things are not going as planned at all", He thinks. "I need to change the rules a bit..." He then aims his hand at Garlic Junior. "...This should do the trick", he would think as his hand glows red and black.
Garlic Junior stops his attack on Gohan and hold his head a bit, roaring. "What a-!?" Gohan asks as infinity symbol appears to Garlic Juniors forehead. Then, his power would suddenly spike, Makyan sending a shockwave around the area, catching attention of other fighters. "...What in... His power suddenly increased?" Piccolo thinks, looking at Makyan as he is charging his Special Beam Cannon while dodging Magmax' lava meteors. Garlic Junior meanwhile just smirks as he would aim to punch Gohan, half-saiyan barely dodging. Next hit would follow soon after, which Gohan also, even if barely, dodges. "...Not only that, he is faster than before?" Piccolo wonders.
Cili, Miria and Quasin look at Garlic Junior. "...That's Time Breaker magic", Quasin thinks. "Is Chronos nearby?" He would take a moment to look around, only to be interrupted by Avaflux. "This is not a time for you to be looking around!" Elemental snarls as he launches attack after attack. Cili looks at Miria who nods. Saiyan would then begin to gather her ki, before going Super Saiyan and charging at Garlic Junior, sending him flying to the wall. Z-Fighters blink. "She is a Saiyan? There were more survivors than us and Tarble...?" Vegeta would think.
It would not take long for Garlic Junior to jump back up from the rubble. "That does nothing to me!" Makyan snarls as he gathers energy around him. "...Take this!" He snaps, dashing towards Gohan and Cili who dodge. Glow vanishes as he stops, turning again to direction of the two. "What is it? Afraid to face me?!" He asks, laughing. "...This is bad. Before he lacked speed, but now he got both Speed and Power", Gohan thinks aloud. "And he is Immortal." He then adds. Cili blinks, looking at Makyan. "...Immortal..." She thinks, gathering her ki to her right hand. "...Let's test that theory..." She then aims the hand at the Garlic Junior. "Shine Buster!" She calls out, blasting Makyan with powerful energy wave.
As smoke clears, Garlic Junior is still standing, laughing. "Is that all you got?" He asks. Cili blinks a bit. "So it did not work..." She thinks a moment. "What if..." Cili would whisper something to Gohan, who blinks and then nods. "That could work", half-saiyan would say. Garlic Junior blinks and narrows his eyes. "What are you scheming!" He roars. Gohan would begin to charge a Kamehameha, while Cili would go to the opposite side, charging another Shine Buster. Garlic Junior looks between two, laughing. "You think blasting me from both sides at once would do any difference?!" He asks. "Go ahead. Try it." He then says.
Cili and Gohan would fire their energy waves, leaving Garlic Junior to take full force of the two beams. Once more, smoke would surround him, leaving mind controlled Garlic Junior laughing. "That was no-where near enough-" He begins, as he hears something. "Ka-me-ha-me..." "Shine..." He looks downwards, seeing Super Saiyan Gohan and Cili front and behind him, charging their beams upwards. "HA!" "BUSTER!" Two would unleash their beam attacks almost at same time, sending Garlic Junior flying to the sky. It would not take long for Garlic Junior to find himself from outer atmosphere, stuck on planets gravitational field while orbiting around the planet.
Gohan and Cili return to their base forms, Cili taking a moment to catch her breath. Gohan looks where Garlic Junior was sent flying. "Smart move... That way we can deal with him later. It will take him a good while to get back to the earth from there", Gohan says. Cili nods. "...He does not seem to be good with levitation technique, so he'll be stuck there for a while", saiyan replies. She then turns towards military class Morpheans. "...Now, it is time to deal with them", She says, smirking, going once more Super Saiyan and charging at the Morpheans.
Back in Absols spaceship, Chronos frowns as he lets image vanish from his Crystal ball. "...Disappointing", he thinks. "I never thought they'd trap Garlic there... But, it will take less time for him to return than they think. There are more than one ways to leave the orbit..." He thinks. Smirking. He still has cards to play...
What is Chronos planning now? Has Garlic Junior really been defeated? Will Z-Fighters be able to defeat the threat of Morpheans? Stay Tuned for Next Chapter of Dragon Ball Infinity!
