The Ultimate Super Saiyan
Last time: While Piccolo and Goku were starting to realize something was wrong in otherworld, five of the Z-Fighters were victims of a surprise attack and Eighteen got a surprise visit from one of the Z-Fighters old enemies as well as a new enemy that she doesn't know.
While they were dealing with that, Dabura absorbed Octagon and became more powerful. Gohan and the New Dabura fought but Gohan over powered the Demon King no matter how hard he tried. Now Gohan has seen two familiar faces and fears that the situation has just got worse.
Chapter 3: By The Light Of The Moon
Krillin, Videl, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Uub flew at a speed over an amazing forest. It was actually very beautiful. So green and fresh and calm and…well, alive. That's one thing it had in common with these warriors. They were still alive. And even though they never told each other, every one of them flashed back to being in that blast, almost positive that it was done and that they would have died there. The fact that they all survived was a miracle. Or was it? Maybe it wasn't. Maybe their training was just getting better. They hoped so. Because with the energy that blast let off, one thing was clear…their assailant was one powerful person.
"I can't believe that walking toaster got away!"
Turles was furious. At himself, at Bardock and most importantly at Eighteen. When he found her, he'd rip her apart, limb by limb. Why was she so strong? Cell had told him that she could barely take on a powered-up Super Saiyan, never mind a powered-up Super Saiyan 2. It was down right impossible. And yet…
"She threw you around like a toy," Bardock said as he floated down to Turles' level.
Turles examined him. So, this is what Kakarot felt like when he saw Turles. The Saiyan had to admit, it was a bit unnerving; looking at someone who looked identical to himself. Though, Bardock did have a scar on his cheek and his skin tone was lighter, so Turles decided they could be told apart. But still, it annoyed him.
"She did not," Turles defended himself. "She just got a lucky shot in."
"Yeah right," Bardock replied cockily.
"Shut it," Turles snapped. "She wasn't supposed to be that strong."
"Maybe so, but you shouldn't be that weak. Though, it is odd she managed to take you on like that."
"Yes, well…"
Bardock waited in silence. "Well?"
"Do you feel that?" Turles turned to the left.
Bardock's eyes traveled in that direction. "Yes. Six power levels. One really high. Are those…"
"Yes," Turles answered before Bardock finished the question. "They were the ones headed towards the trap. It appears they survived."
"That's odd. It's not like King Vegeta to let his prey escape."
"Maybe they defeated him. The powerful one wasn't there before. Maybe he arrived in the nick of time."
Bardock shrugged. "Whatever. We've lost the android. So, I say we clean up that mess. Besides, I'm getting bored."
Turles smirked. Killing those pesky Z-Fighters? The ones who helped Kakarot stop him before? Turles couldn't think of a better way to spend the rest of the evening.
Pan stared over boulder and looked more confused than ever. What the heck was going on in this place? First a strange red enemy. Then another strange red enemy. And now to other enemies with tails. What was going on?
"What's going on there?" Goten asked.
"Two guys just showed up," Pan replied.
"What guys?" Goten and Pan heard Trunks say.
"Finally!" Pan said. "You're awake."
"What did I miss?" Trunks asked.
Pan started filling Trunks in with the events that had happened so far. But, she shouldn't have bothered. More events were about to follow.
"N-No way!" Gohan said in shock.
"What's wrong boy?" A familiar voice asked. Gohan stayed silent. "Well? What's wrong, nephew?"
"Ra-Raditz!" Gohan said while turning his head to the second person. "And Nappa!"
"So you remember us," Nappa stated.
"How could I forget you monsters?" Gohan replied.
"Nephew, it hurts that you think I'm a monster," Raditz said sarcastically
"What is this, a reunion?" Gohan asked, half serious, halve sarcastic. "So where's Frieza?"
"Oh, I didn't see fit to pull him out of hell," Dabura said, interrupting.
"What?" Gohan asked, more confused now.
"You see boy, as the Demon King I can yank people right out of hell."
"Well you must be idiot," Gohan said with a smile.
"And why's that?" Dabura asked.
"For someone who has the power to pull people out of hell," Gohan answered, "I'd think you would have brought back someone stronger than these two."
"You think we're still the same weaklings as before?" Raditz asked
"We'll show you," Nappa said as he and Raditz started powering up.
A blue aura covered the two Saiyans and in an instant, a massive surge of energy occurred and the once blue auras had turned golden. The two Saiyans stopped powering up, staring directly at Gohan with grins.
"You seemed surprised nephew," Raditz pointed out.
"You can go super Saiyan!" Gohan said, alarmed.
Dabura laughed. "Still think I made a bad choice. You're going to die boy. And we're going to make sure we kill you nice and slow."
And just like that, all three of them attacked.
Eighteen flew so fast it actually shocked her. What also shocked her was those two Saiyans. Had Dr. Gero made some weird clones of Goku in case everything else fails? No, they knew who Goku was. But, more importantly, they knew his Saiyan name, meaning they had to be from the Saiyan planet. The one even mentioned being in hell. That's probably how they knew what her power was suppose to be. But who were they? And what did they want from Earth? Knowing Saiyans, they wanted Earth, but still, they could have easily attacked anywhere. Instead, they choose to come after one person who had the ability to take them on. It was intentional, attacking her. It had to be. It's not easy finding an android, so to find one, you're either unlucky or you were looking for one.
Eighteen lost track of her thoughts when she suddenly picked up a couple of power levels in another direction. She stopped and looked the other way. Those power levels…she knew them. Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Videl and Uub. Eighteen smirked. Allies. And then her sensors picked up something else heading towards her husband and friends. It was one power level. And it was massive.
Piccolo stood in front of King Yemma. He had to make a choice. One that could land him up in hell for at least another year, if he was lucky.
"Piccolo," King Yemma said. "Because of your work in Hell, I will give you your request to leave it and return to where you were before your…um…little incident."
Piccolo smirked. He remembered how he sacrificed a spot in that paradise to go to hell so he could help Goku. It was a sacrifice he was willing to make to protect the Earth. And now, he had made up his mind. He was going to make another sacrifice, which would end him in Hell once more. But, it was a sacrifice to help protect the Earth. It was one he was willing to make.
"I have another suggestion…"
Krillin stopped for a moment. He turned around and stared into the distance, feeling that something was wrong. The others stopped just ahead of him, wondering why he had chosen now to stop. They needed to get to the Look-Out quickly, before they were attacked again. Krillin realized this and turned to join his team…but it was too late, and they all sensed the massive power level closing in on them. They turned; waiting for the enemy, praying to whomever each of them pray to that this person was friend, not foe.
But that would be too easy, Krillin thought sarcastically.
They all prepared themselves, waiting for the worst to come. But the worst only showed a second later, when they sensed two other great power levels heading towards them from another direction. One was almost as great as the first, but the second surpassed both by quite a bit. The warriors made a sort of semi-circle, all waiting to fight the battle of their lives. Probably the last battle of their lives.
"Who are these guys?" Videl asked.
"I have no clue," Uub answered. "But they are definitely the strange power levels I had picked up before."
And then the first enemy appeared and showed a face which shocked every single one of the Z-Fighters. He was a Super Saiyan 2. And he was someone they knew. At least, he looked like someone they knew…
"Vegeta?" Tien queried.
"No way!" Krillin moved forward. "Vegeta doesn't have a beard and this guy is different some how."
The Saiyan frowned at them, as though they were disgusting creatures not worthy to be in his presence. Which to him, they were.
"Who are you?" Videl shouted.
"How dare you speak to me like that, you whelp?" The Saiyan spoke in a very formal voice. "I am Vegeta, the Saiyan King. You would do well to show me some respect."
"Vegeta? King?" Yamcha questioned. "I thought Vegeta was only prince."
Krillin stepped in. "This guy must be Vegeta's father. But that's impossible. You died on Planet Vegeta when Frieza blew it up."
That caught the king's attention. "Yes, well, I'm back and I am ready to rule this universe as King. And, I just need a couple of things from Earth. For one, my son. You know Prince Vegeta?"
"Know him?" Videl said. "He's a friend."
The King scowled. "Vegeta would never speak to riff raff like you, never-the-less be friendly."
"Oh, don't worry," Tien replied. "He's not friendly at all. But he's a friend."
Before King Vegeta could reply, Turles and Bardock appeared.
"Well," Turles said. "I guess the party hasn't started yet."
"Turles? But, you're dead too." Krillin stared in shock. "What is going on around here? How did you become a Super Saiyan?"
"Super Saiyan 2," Turles replied with a laugh. "And as for being dead, we came back. With a little help of course, but that doesn't matter."
"We?" Tien questioned. "Why do I get the feeling there are more of you?"
"Because there is," King Vegeta replied.
"How many?" Krillin asked, ready to fight.
"Two more," Bardock answered. "Raditz and Nappa are going to have some fun with Kakarot's son."
Videl gasped. "Gohan?"
"Raditz?" Krillin replied. "Goku's brother? And that maniac, Nappa?"
"Goku?" Bardock said, lost in the word. "Why do you call him Goku? His name is Kakarot."
"His name is Goku." Yamcha stepped in.
"It is Kakarot," Bardock insisted. "Who are you to tell me it is any different?"
"We're his friends," Tien answered. "We've known him for years. And who are you to question what his name is?"
"Me? I'm his father."
And then everything seemed to go quiet. Goku had a father? Of course he had a father. But, he was supposed to be dead. Why did these Saiyans come back? How did these Saiyans come back? What was going on?
"Okay," Uub spoke, breaking the silence. "I didn't see that one coming."
"You're…" Videl began. "But that means you are going to allow two of your men to kill your grandson. If Goku is your son, Gohan is your grandson."
"He is human," King Vegeta stepped in. "Half-human anyway. It is a disgusting sight, if you ask me."
"Well no one did ask you," Videl replied harshly.
"What do you guys want from Earth?" Uub asked, before King Vegeta could attack Videl.
"I told you," the King replied. "I want a couple of things. But the first is Vegeta. He needs to take his rightful place besides me."
Videl chuckled. "Vegeta will never join you."
"And why's that?"
"Well, for one, he'll never leave his disgusting half-human son and daughter."
"He will when I order him to."
Krillin chuckled this time. "Vegeta being ordered around. That'll be the day."
"You all seem so confident of the Saiyan Prince," Turles commented. "Maybe he'll surprise you."
"Maybe he'll surprise you," Videl replied.
"Enough of this," King Vegeta ordered. "Let's just kill them all so we can find the Dragonball."
"Dragonball?" Chiaotzu whispered. "Tien, aren't the Dragonballs useless for the next 39 years?"
"Yeah, Chiaotzu," Tien replied. "They are. But Vegeta…um, the king, must not know that."
"Well," Krillin started. "Let's not be in a rush to tell him that."
"What are you all whispering there?" Bardock asked. "If it's a strategy, don't bother. You can't win." And then his eyes traveled to Uub. "Well…you might be an issue."
"More than just an issue," Uub readied for battle.
"Oh, really," Bardock chuckled. "You can beat a Super Saiyan 3?"
"I was trained by one. Your son."
Bardock seemed to dislike that comment. Kakarot helping humans increase their strength. He's a Saiyan. He is supposed to bring other worlds to the ground, not help their warriors rise up.
"Bardock," King Vegeta ordered. "Kill the strong one. As for the rest of you…" King Vegeta powered up energy in his hand. "…I guess Turles and I'll kill you all. Starting with the girl with the big mouth."
King Vegeta raised his hand, ready to blow Videl away. But he never got the chance. He threw his arm down, releasing an energy blast just as a foot connected with his head, causing him to fly straight into a mountain. The blast changed direction and flew straight past Videl and the rest of the warriors.
"Am I late?" Eighteen asked cockily.
"You!" Turles shouted. "I'm going to tear you apart."
"No," King Vegeta appeared, angry as ever. "She's mine."
"Oh…" Eighteen taunted. "A Super Saiyan 2. Scary."
"I kill you slowly," the King stated right before he attacked.
Eighteen took him head on and managed to get the upper hand, knocking the Saiyan away. She then followed. She might as well try to take down at least one enemy.
Bardock wasted no time and quickly moved for Uub, who dodged the first punch, but flew back with the other. Uub caught himself in the air, just enough to counter a kick with an upper-cut to the Saiyan's jaw. He began to hit Bardock all over, before slamming him downwards.
Turles stood still, waiting for the Z-Fighters to make the first move. Five against one. That was unfair… for them. Turles decided he was getting bored and looked around to see who he could attack first. The big mouth girl? Nope, she's too weak to be an issue later. What about Mr. Three Eyes? He's kind of strong. Then again, so was the midget. And the pale midget too. Turles examined each of them and finally settled on one.
"You're mine!" Turles shouted as he dashed for Yamcha. Yamcha blocked the attack with his arm and then quickly hit Turles away, aggravating the Saiyan. Taking this chance to do some damage, Tien attacked, only to have Turles faze out. Tien looked around, but didn't see the Saiyan until it was too late and he had knocked Tien in the stomach with amazing force. Tien tried to breath, but Turles kicked him away, just in time to block Videl's punch with one arm and shoot a blast at her with the other. She shifted slightly, barely dodging the blast. She could actually feel the heat from blast. She jumped back and dashed forward, getting into a fist flurry with Turles. He kneed her in the stomach, stopping her in her tracks and grabbed her by her hair. He held her out and readied his fist, but Krillin appeared, kicking him back. Yamcha appeared on top of the Saiyan, connecting his fists and bringing them down onto Turles. The Saiyan flipped downwards and then got control of himself.
"Come on, Turles," Krillin said. "You may be strong, but you don't have much of a brain."
Turles growled before continuing his attack. He knocked Krillin away and blocked Yamcha's attack, before knocking him away. He turned, just to get into an extremely quickly fight with Videl and Tien. Chiaotzu appeared behind him and fired a blast, but Turles deflected it like it was nothing and still resumed fight the other two. Thing's weren't looking good.
Uub grabbed Bardock's fist and landed one punch in his gut, before kicking him away. It didn't take the Saiyan long before he hit back. Uub blocked and dodged as much as he could, but Bardock finally landed a punch and another and another and another. He smashed Uub against the mountain and then punched him into it, followed by an energy blast up close. The smoke cleared to reveal nothing.
"Did you die that fast?" Bardock smirked.
"Not really," Uub smashed his elbow into Bardock's head, sending the Saiyan down.
Bardock steadied himself. "How did you dodge that? I was right in front of you."
"Oh well," Uub replied as he lowered himself down to Bardock's level. "Can I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
"What Dragonballs are you looking for?"
"Not Dragonballs. Dragonball. We only need one more."
"That's impossible. The Earth Dragonballs have been turned to stone for 39 years."
"Who said anything about Earth Dragonballs? We found the other Dragonballs spread across this galaxy. The last one is on this planet."
"The Black Star Dragonballs are gone to."
"Black Star? No, there are no black stars on these dragonballs."
"What? What Dragonballs are they?"
"None of your business." And then Bardock attacked again.
Meanwhile, Eighteen blocked another one of King Vegeta's attacks. Then he blocked one of hers. This went on for a while, each trying to strike the other while the other blocked or dodged. Eighteen tried to hit him as hard as she could, but she never got a punch. She hit again and again, but still, he just blocked. Granted, he wasn't having much better luck in the damage department, barely touching her. Their fists connected and then they flipped back, both landing on separate mountains, facing one another.
"You're strong for a Super Saiyan 2," Eighteen mentioned.
"Of course I am," King Vegeta replied. "I am the King of all Saiyans. I am stronger than any of them. The question is, why are you matching me?"
"None of your business," Eighteen readied herself for another round.
"Oh, well. It doesn't matter. You'll all be dead soon."
And then they flew for one another.
Gohan took Dabura and the two Super Saiyans head on. The fight which broke out was fast and powerful, with the fighters moving all over the area in blurs. Gohan got a hit on Raditz, but was then smacked by Nappa straight into Dabura. Dabura grabbed Gohan and held him so that Nappa could knock the wind out of him. The giant Saiyan continuously punched Gohan in the gut, until Gohan kicked Nappa in the head, causing him to fling back. Gohan managed to break out of Dabura's hold and then turned, angrily blasting the demon into a mountain. Gohan waited for his enemies to strike, floating in the air patiently. In a second, Nappa and Raditz attacked Gohan, but the half-Saiyan blocked every attack with ease until Dabura blasted him in the back. Gohan stood still taking in the pain, trying not to let himself fall, but Raditz hit him in the stomach, followed by a punch across the face by Nappa. As Gohan began to fall, Raditz and Nappa grabbed his legs, threw him into the air and both blasted him with energy blasts which light up the night sky in an explosion. Gohan fell out of the smoke onto the ground. He pulled himself up, covered in blood, cuts and bruises. Gohan faced his enemies who were laughing, seemly enjoying themselves. He smirked a little and then screamed as a golden aura surrounded him. Bits and pieces of the ground rose as Gohan powered up, floating or dissolving in the air. Gohan screamed louder as the golden aura got bigger and brighter. The other three watched as he continued growing in power. Gohan dropped his arms to his side as he stopped powering up and dropped his head to face his enemies. His opponents were shocked at his power. Then again, most would be.
"What?" Dabura said in shock.
Gohan moved too fast for Dabura to anticipate and he quickly got kneed in the stomach by the half-Saiyan. Dabura dropped to his knees, holding his stomach in pain. Gohan kicked Dabura in the head while he was on the ground and as the demon rolled on the ground, Gohan charged Nappa and Raditz. In a flash, Gohan pummeled Raditz in the face and hit him into Nappa. As Nappa caught Raditz, Gohan shot a powerful energy blast directly hitting the two Saiyans. Gohan smirked as Dabura appeared behind him and swung for the back of his head; but the Saiyan was too fast and he dodged Dabura's fist, grabbed his arm and threw him forward. Dabura gained control of himself and attacked Gohan. Gohan dodged every punched, every kick, and just knocked Dabura away, who just came back for more. Gohan punched Dabura in the face a number of times, then punched him in the gut and, as Dabura bent forward, Gohan kicked him away.
The two Saiyans, trying to take him by surprise, attacked Gohan… but Gohan disappeared. As Raditz and Nappa looked around for their opponent, Nappa was hit by an energy ball, causing him to fall down. Raditz turned to see Gohan on a mountain, staring directly at him. Raditz charged Gohan, but was hit by other one of his energy balls. Even so, Raditz kept going, despite the pain of the hit. He wanted to beat his nephew. Prove he could. As he got to Gohan, Raditz swung a punch, but missed. Gohan appeared above Raditz and hit him into the top of the mountain. Gohan then powered up an energy ball and blasted Raditz. As the blast hit, it had so much force that it dragged Raditz down the centre of the mountain and exploded as the blast and Raditz hit the ground. The mountain fell as Gohan suddenly sensed a massive power level. He turned to see Dabura powering up on another mountain. Gohan flew to Dabura and landed on the mountain as Dabura stopped powering up. The wind got stronger and the sun had completely set as Gohan and Dabura faced each other. The two warriors charged each other and swung a punch. Both their fist connected which brought down the whole mountain because of the energy and as a starting gun, the battle had begun. Gohan and Dabura fought for a while before Dabura got a shot on Gohan. Gohan blocked Dabura's next punched and countered it with a kick to the head. Dabura backed off then charged Gohan, giving him an upper cut. As Gohan went back, Dabura punched him in the stomach and then the head. Dabura continued his assault on Gohan, but Gohan managed to dodge one of the attacks and back away. Breathing heavily Gohan stared at Dabura and started smiling. This just annoyed Dabura more and he attacked Gohan angrily. Gohan quickly struck Dabura first and continuously punched all over. Finally, Gohan bashed Dabura into the ground. He came down to the ground while Dabura was climbing to his feet.
"I-I won't lose," Dabura stated. "If I can't beat you then this whole planet is doomed."
"Story of my life," Gohan commented as the Demon King rose.
Dabura flew into the air and placed his arms out gathering energy. He was going to blow this planet straight to hell. But, only if he could beat Gohan, who was pulling his arms back.
"KA…" Gohan started.
Dabura slowly moved his hands inwards and placed them next to each other and continued to gather energy.
"ME…HA…ME…" Gohan continued.
Dabura finished gathering energy and opened his mouth. "Darkened Destroyer!"
A massive, demonic red energy wave blasted from Dabura's hands, heading straight for Gohan. Straight for the Earth.
"HAAAAAAAA!" Gohan shouted blasting his energy wave at the same time as Dabura.
The energy beams slowly advanced on each other, as everyone watched breathlessly. One of them had to win this. On one hand, it would signal the end of the Earth. On the other, it would save the Earth for now. Some wished for the first. Some wished for the second. The waves moved for each other and finally, in a flash of light, they collided, causing a struggle between Gohan and Dabura for the Earth. Everyone watched in awe as the beams struggled against one another, trying to fight for power. Gohan had sweat pouring down his face as he struggled to hold his beam in place. Dabura also struggled, but was a lot calmer than Gohan. They pushed harder, as hard as they could to win this fight. Gohan watched as Dabura's blasted started coming closer. As hard as he tried, he couldn't push it back.
"You can't win boy!" Dabura stated
"We'll see about that!" Gohan shout as he pushed his beam harder.
"You're nothing!" Dabura screamed.
"I'm still stronger than you!" Gohan replied.
Dabura's seemed to be getting closer to Gohan. The half-Saiyan started worrying. If he didn't win this, Earth was done for.
"I can't lose," Gohan whispered to himself, "I-I mustn't lose!"
Gohan pushed harder and managed to push his beam forward towards Dabura.
"Give it a rest boy," Dabura said. "You can't win!"
"Yes I can!" Gohan screamed pushing his beam forward some more.
"What?" Dabura questioned. "How can you still have so much power?"
"This is the end Dabura!" Gohan said getting control of the situation.
"No, I can't lose!" Dabura shouted. "I am the Demon King! I won't lose!"
"You don't have a choice", Gohan screamed. "You want to be Demon King? Fine by me, because I'm sending you straight to hell!"
Gohan pulled his hands back a little and screamed as he pushed them out again. The Kamehameha Wave hit Dabura and carried him straight into the sky as the energy started dissolving his body, started killing him. The blast carried him into the sky, finally defeated. Gohan dropped his arms and looked at Raditz and Nappa.
"One down, two to go." He said with a determined look in his eye while breathing heavily.
"Alright!" Pan shouted happily.
"What?" Trunks asked.
"My dad just blew that red guy away," Pan said.
Eighteen dodged the blast and then fired one back, only to have it deflected by the King. She flew for him and suddenly fazed out, appearing behind the King, kicking him in the side of the head. The King flew back to her, dodging an attack and knocking Eighteen in the head. He kicked her in the stomach and smacked her downwards, before appearing below her and kicking her back up, into his fist once more. Eighteen watched him as she gain control of herself, trying to figure out how to win this fight. She looked down and saw a flat surface of a mountain, big enough to fight on. He was good in the air. Was he that good on the ground? She fazed out once more, appearing behind the Saiyan ruler, knocking him down to the mountain. He hit the mountain, but jumped out of the way, just as Eighteen slid across it, trying to kick him. She spun while sliding, lifting herself up into a crouch. She stood up straight, watching the King. And then she attacked. He blocked well, but he was better in the air. She managed to kick him in the stomach and then hit him in the head. He blocked the other punches, but she managed to hit him again and again and again. She flipped back, her hands connecting with the ground, her foot connecting with the King's jaw, knocking him back. He hit the ground as she flipped back onto her feet.
She smirked. "If no one has ever told this before, let me be the first. You are a useless fighter on the ground."
King Vegeta growled, before powering up a blast which he used to bring the entire mountain down. And then they resumed their fight in the air.
Meanwhile, Uub and Bardock were matching blow for blow, one them trying to get the upper hand in a pointless fight. They separated and then dashed for each other again, trying to get the better of one another.
"The Namekian Dragonballs?" Uub asked.
"Namekians?" Bardock replied. "You mean those green people?"
"Yeah," Uub responded. "Those green people. What do you want to wish for?"
"That's none of your concern."
"It could be. If you want to wish your friends or family back, I could understand. We could help you find the last Dragonball. And then you can leave this planet."
"Oh, we're going to leave this planet when we find it. We might leave it in ashes, but we'll leave it."
"How can you say that? Your son's family is on this planet."
"It's a sacrifice. I make some in my first life. I can make some in this one."
"We'll stop you."
"I'd love to see you try." Bardock hit Uub away and went in for another attack.
While Uub was trying to negotiate with Bardock, the Z-Fighters weren't having that much luck with Turles. The Saiyan slammed his fist into Chiaotzu and kicked him into Tien, followed by an energy blast which they barely dodged. Tien and Chiaotzu retaliated with their own blasts, which were just dodged by Turles. Thankfully, he didn't see Yamcha appear behind him and kick him towards Videl and Krillin, who both fired energy blasts, which hit him directly. He flew out of the smoke to Krillin, who was saved by Tien who came from above and kicked the Saiyan down. Turles stopped in the air, only to be smashed in the stomach by Chiaotzu's entire body. The little guy jumped back and let out an energy wave, which connected with Turles and took him up. He climbed off it easily, but didn't see Tien coming from behind and knee him in the head. He them kicked the Saiyan down. As he stopped, thinking it was over; he caught sight of Videl, Krillin and Yamcha right next to one another. In a flash, they let of a giant Kamehameha Wave – a product of all three of their waves – which struck Turles head on, taking the Super Saiyan 2 all the way down to the forest. The blast hit the ground with Turles, wiping out a big chunk of the forest in an amazing dome of power.
"He's not that tough," Videl mentioned. But she spoke to soon.
Krillin sensed it first. "Look out!"
Out of the smoke, Turles emerged at such an incredible speed. In both hands, he had powered up energy balls. He closed one hand, the energy being released into his fist, and in a flash, like deadly lightning, he was in front of Yamcha. And a second after that, his entire had broken through Yamcha's torso. Everyone watched in silence as Turles laughed like a maniac. He raised his other hand quickly and released an extremely powerful energy blast which blew Chiaotzu out of the sky.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien shouted as he saw his friend's lifeless body – his corpse – fall into the trees below.
"Yamcha!" Uub cried after.
The other Saiyan's just smirked at the death of two Z-fighters.
"I…I'm ending this," Yamcha suddenly spoke before Turles could pull his arm out. "Bye guys."
Yamcha rapped his body around Turles and began to glow. Turles tried to break free, but Yamcha used all his strength to hold onto the Saiyan until he had finished powering up. And when he did, in a last ditch effort to protect his friends and the Earth, Yamcha made his sacrifices. He blew himself up, taking Turles in the explosion. Time seemed to slow down as everyone watched, open mouthed. Videl, Tien, Krillin, Eighteen, Uub and even King Vegeta and Bardock. They all waited, watching the smoke to see if anyone would emerge.
Goku was shocked. "How can the Saiyan's just appear on Earth if they were dead?"
"I don't know, Goku," King Kai replied.
"I can answer that," Supreme appeared back from Hell. "It appears Dabura had somehow been revived and then pulled the Saiyan's out of hell."
"That's horrible," King Kai replied.
"It gets worse," Supreme Kai continued. "Turns out that no one had seen the five Saiyans together in a while. It appears that every now and again two of them would be pulled out and then replaced with another two. It was probably to divert suspicion."
"That doesn't make sense," Goku said. "Why would they jump in and out of Hell when they could all just leave?"
"I don't know Goku. They were obviously looking for something. King Kai, what do you think?"
King Kai looked deep in thought. "I need to check up on something quickly. Just pray I am wrong."
"And if you're not?" Goku asked.
"Then we'll need to get you back to Earth," King Kai replied. "Fast."
"It's your turn," Gohan said to the Saiyans.
"Oh really?" Raditz questioned. "Let's see what you got."
"Fine!" Gohan shouted as he dashed for Raditz.
Gohan bashed Raditz in the head, causing the Saiyan to see stars. Raditz backed off then attacked Gohan with fury. Gohan and Raditz exchanged punches as Nappa watched. Gohan deflected Raditz fist and then kicked him in the head. Gohan relentlessly attacked Raditz, until Nappa stepped in and hit Gohan from behind. Gohan dropped to the ground and then turned towards Nappa.
"That was a low blow," Gohan stated.
"Cry me a river," Nappa replied while charging Gohan.
Gohan and Nappa began fighting, but Gohan got the upper hand easily and pummeled Nappa into the ground. Gohan wasted no time and charged Raditz, knocking him into a mountain. Gohan watched the mountain and then approached it cautiously, only to realize that the inside was hollow.
"A cave," he thought aloud as he lowered into it. "Concentrate Gohan, Raditz is here somewhere."
Gohan looked around the cave, trying to adapted to the darkness. Gohan tried to sense Raditz by closing his eyes. He was in here somewhere. He had to be. Gohan continued to sense him out, while trying to figure out why he was here. It was hopeless cause. Even if Raditz did beat Gohan, there was a line of warriors ready to fight. Gohan opened his eyes as he sensed an energy blast coming from behind him. He turned around and met the energy blast with one of his own.
Nappa looked up and saw the whole mountain explode. As the smoke cleared Nappa saw two figures facing each other, punching and kicking like crazy, trying to land a blow. Nappa lifted his hand up, pointing at Gohan, and shot an energy blast. Gohan disappear as the energy got close and reappeared in front of Nappa, punching him away.
"You've lost your touch Nappa," Gohan taunted.
Nappa angrily attacked Gohan, but was kicked away. As Nappa gained control of himself Raditz appeared next to him, a smirk on his face.
"It's time," Raditz said slowly.
"Time for what?" Gohan asked.
"Fool!" Nappa replied. "We didn't come back, just to be beaten again."
You could have fooled me, Gohan thought.
"We've had a plan all along," Raditz continue.
"What plan?" Gohan asked.
"We needed to hold you off long enough," Raditz explained.
"For what?" Gohan continued his questions.
"For that," Nappa said as he pointed at the night sky.
They couldn't believe what they had just seen. Yamcha had blown himself up to beat Turles. It was brave sacrifice that wouldn't be forgotten. Even so, it was a sacrifice made in vain. They watched as Turles laughed through the smoke. It was an evil, taunting laugh. And in a flash, out of the smoke, appeared a blast too fast for Tien to dodge. It travelled straight through him, knocking him out instantly.
"Tien!" Eighteen dashed downwards, catching Tien as he fell.
"Shame," Turles taunted. "Are we winning?"
"I kill you!" Eighteen shouted.
"Me first!" Videl attacked in a rage. She powered up two energy balls and closed her hands, punching Turles hard. "That was for Tien." She attacked again, hitting him with the other hand. "That was for Yamcha." She went right up to him and held out her hands. "And this is for Chiaotzu!" And then a massive energy wave escaped her hands, covering Turles.
But, it was useless. The wave died down and Turles was still standing there. He hit Videl away, but appeared above her, knocking her downwards. He appeared below her, causing her to smash into his knee. He grabbed her shirt and quickly punched her in the gut and in the head, as many times as he could. Uub and Krillin flew for her, but by the time they had got there, Videl was on the verge of passing out. Turles laughed as he threw her to Uub. He caught Videl and turned, his back taking the full force of Turles's energy blast. Krillin tried to strike Turles, but the Saiyan just dodged and grabbed Krillin's arm, pulling him close.
"Krillin!" Eighteen shouted. "Get out of there!"
Turles smirked. She shouldn't worry. Krillin was going out of this world. He punched Krillin in the stomach as hard as possible and then, before the midget could retaliate, threw him in the air. In a flash, Turles had let out a flurry of energy blasts which hit Krillin again and again, bruising and cutting the warrior. Turles continued firing. If Eighteen or Uub wanted to do anything, they'd have to let go of Tien and Videl. Could Eighteen do that? Would she forgive herself? Would Krillin? But, it was too late to decide. Turles put his hands together, ready to shot off a blast that would kill Krillin. He let off the blast, which headed for the smoke covering Krillin. It was almost there and Eighteen held her breath, waiting for her husband's death. But it never came. Out of the smoke, appeared an energy wave which engulfed Turles's, before striking the Saiyan, causing a massive explosion.
Turles emerged from the smoke with a cry. "Why you little midget! That hurt!"
"Good." That wasn't Krillin's voice.
Eighteen looked up as the smoke cleared. "No way."
"Way," Piccolo said as he held the unconscious Krillin. He wasn't alive. He still had a halo above his head. But then, how was he here?
"How?" Eighteen asked.
"Let's just get out of here," Piccolo said and didn't wait for the Saiyan's to retaliate.
Uub and Eighteen followed to King Vegeta's dismay. "Turles! Bardock! After them!"
"With pleasure," Turles said as he took off after his prey, ready for the hunt.
They flew as fast as they could, but Turles was gaining. No doubt the three of them could kill him, but the other two were right behind him. They would take ten seconds to catch up. But, if they didn't fight, then all three would catch up anyway. But they couldn't. Piccolo had figured the Saiyan's plan already. Why they were trying so hard to take the Z-Fighter's down. He and the others could take the Saiyan's for about a minute before they became powerful enough to crush Eighteen, Uub and himself. They had to get away, but how?
It was as though Videl and Piccolo were in sync. She was thinking exactly what he was, even though neither of them knew it. Using whatever energy she had left, she pulled herself off Uub and flew for the Saiyans.
"What are you doing?" Piccolo screamed. "Trying to kill us?"
She waited for her enemies, but instructed her friends first. "Close your eyes."
They did as they were told and as the Saiyan's were on her, she did it. She lifted her hands to her face and used a technique taught to her by Tien.
"Solar Flare!" She shouted as the night sky lit up, blinding the enemies. Their eyes felt as though someone had just burnt them out of their sockets. They screamed in agony as Uub caught Videl.
"Now we can go," she said as she passed out. Uub smiled and as fast as lightning, the Z-Fighters took off.
It was a while before the Saiyans got their sight back. But, by then, the enemy was gone.
"I'm going to kill them all!" Turles shouted through the night sky.
"Calm yourself, Turles," King Vegeta replied, aggravated. "The plan can still continue."
"Of course," Bardock said. "Just look at the sky."
Gohan looked up just in time to see a cloud reveal the last part of the full moon. Gohan looked in terror at the two super Saiyans as he realized what was happening. They were transforming. Raditz and Nappa started changing, growing, transforming, and finally became Golden Great Apes. But something started happening. Gohan assumed they would start becoming wild. But the truth was far worse. The Saiyans began to get smaller while transforming a second time and Gohan realized what was happening. They were transforming into Super Saiyan Fours. They must of had their rationality when they became great apes. But, could they truly become Super Saiyan fours with only Super Saiyan backing them? Obviously, they could. At the end of the transformation there stood two Saiyans in front of Gohan, both covered in red fur. Raditz's had a bit longer hair, but Nappa still had no hair, which just made him look strange. But Gohan wasn't ready to insult him.
"How do you like me now?" Nappa asked Gohan.
Gohan just stared in shock as Raditz asked, "Ready to attack me, Nephew?"
Gohan stepped back as Raditz stepped forward. Gohan stepped away from Raditz, who suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Gohan. Raditz punched Gohan in the stomach. Gohan dropped to the ground, holding his stomach in pain. Raditz then kicked Gohan in the head. Gohan flew back and fell on the ground. As Gohan rose, Raditz charged and knocked him into a mountain. The rubble in which Gohan was buried under began to shake and a light shone threw the holes. Gohan screamed as all the rocks flew off him.
"I swear to you Raditz, your not going to win!" Gohan insisted.
"That's not for you to decide," Raditz replied as he moved for Gohan again.
In a flash Raditz had kneed Gohan in the gut. Raditz started hitting Gohan in the face and finally pummeled him into a rocky wall. Raditz continued beating Gohan and Gohan could do nothing but take it and pray for a miracle. As Raditz continued his assault on Gohan, thinking this was the end for his nephew, he was kicked in the side of the head by Pan. Pan caught Gohan as his battered body fell forward. Raditz looked up, staring at Pan with rage in his eyes.
"How dare you hit me?" Raditz shouted.
Pan looked at the Saiyan and began powering up.
"You're joking," Raditz said, "I'm not going to fight a little girl."
Pan silently took her fighting stance and then waited patiently. Raditz walked to Pan, not threatening her at all, but Pan quickly blasted him with a Kamehameha Wave. Raditz continued waling Pan as though nothing had just happened. But, as he got to her, he was hit into the mountain by someone else. Annoyed now, Raditz burst out of the mountain. He looked up to see Pan standing next to someone else. The new warrior had long, blonde hair, like a super Saiyan 3. He wore white pants and a small jacket – a jacket only worn by those who are a creation of fusion.
"Who are you?" Raditz asked.
"Me? I'm Gotenks," he replied.
"Who?" Raditz asked again.
"Doesn't matter," Gotenks said as he took his fighting stance. "Let's just get started"
"Fine," Raditz said as he took his stance. "I'll kill you slowly."
Goten and Trunks have fused into Gotenks. But are they powerful enough to beat two Super Saiyan 4s? Or will he fall like Gohan? Find out in Chapter 4: Rise Of The Super Saiyans.
