Kyuuri smiled as she watched the energy beams fly upwards, swirling around each other until they formed one cohesive wave, the Planet Trade forces frantically scattering to no avail.
"That's what I'm talkin' about!" Yamcha proclaimed as the combined energy wave exploded, taking out at least a quarter of the force that descended upon them.
"These guys aren't as tough as they look." Trunks said with a grin.
"Don't get over confident." Master Roshi cautioned.
"Here comes another wave." Gohan said with a grimace, the smoke clearing to reveal the soldiers regrouping above them.
"I say we go greet them personally, ey, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked with a smirk.
"Sounds good to me." the other Saiyan answered.
"Are things usually this exciting around here?" Kyuuri asked as she flew after Gohan.
"Not always, but sometimes!" he answered, throwing a knee into a soldier's stomach.
"Good to hear." Kyuuri answered with a mischievous smile. The Saiyan girl flew passed a soldier, delivering a chop to the back of his head before throwing an energy blast straight into another.
Vegeta smirked as he flew upwards, fifteen soldiers in pursuit. "That's the Prince! Get him!" the leader yelled as they flew further up.
The Saiyan Prince turned, stopping abruptly and holding out his hand. "Big bang attack!" he yelled, smirking as the soldiers tried to run, every one being blown away with ease.
"Lookin' good Tien!" Yamcha yelled as he flew passed his friend.
"Lookin' good Yamcha." Tien responded as he turned towards a group of soldiers. "Tri-beam HA!" he shouted, the energy beam easily taking care of his opponents. Tien let out a breath before turning, only to find another group waiting for him.
"Let's see how you like my extra large spirit ball!" Yamcha called, the group looking up to find a giant ball of yellow energy flying towards them. Yamcha whipped the ball around, beating the soldiers back and forth. "I think you guys have had enough." he said with a smile, clenching his fist and detonating the spirit ball, the soldiers falling to the ground.
Gohan spun, loosing an explosive Masenko before kicking a soldier away form Kyuuri.
"I had that guy!" the Saiyan girl huffed before angrily blasting away five oncoming soldiers.
"I know, I just didn't want to take any chances." Gohan replied before loosing a kamehameha at another advancing group.
Krillin flew into the center of a unit of twenty soldiers, throwing kicks and hooks at every soldier that dared approach, knocking them away with ease. "You guys aren't too tough, are ya?" he asked with a grin.
"I'll show you tough!" a purple skinned, orange haired soldier yelled as he charged. The alien pulled back his fist, throwing it at the small warrior's head, his eyes widening as Krillin easily caught the punch. "Don't underestimate me 'cause I'm short." he said, tossing the soldier into the air and hitting him with a kamehameha. "Hey eighteenie, you see that?" he asked enthusiastically, eyes going wide as he looked on.
Android 18 threw a wave of energy at a group of ten blasting them away before kicking another to the ground, throwing a punch into another's face, throwing him across the Capsule Corps. grounds, sending a volley of blasts into an oncoming group, and flying up to meet another soldier, putting him an a headlock and tossing him into his comrades before blowing them all away with an energy wave. "Sorry, what did you want me to see?" she asked in a dead pan tone.
"Uh, nothing, nevermind." Krillin said with a nervous laugh.
Master Roshi stumbled as he took a kick to the head, punching his aggressor away before throwing a bolt of energy into an oncoming group of five, leap into the air as another unit attempted to converge on him, only to crash together below. "Take this, KAMEHAMEHA!" he yelled, blasting the group into the ground. Another soldier charged, Master Roshi picking up his staff and batting him away before running to his left, throwing a kick into a soldiers abdominal section before letting loose another kamehameha wave.
Chiaotzu stayed stiff as a board, levitating from side to side, easily dodging his opponent's strikes.
"What's up with this guy?" a blue skinned alien growled.
Chioatzu suddenly shot up in the air, telekinetically grasping his opponents.
"What's the deal!?" another soldier roared.
Chioatzu wordlessly lifted his hand, a large rock rising up behind him, the soldiers screaming before he tossed it into them, smiling slightly as they fell away.
"Take this, freak!" another soldier shouted, releasing a bolt of enrgy at him.
"Dodon ray!" Chioatzu shouted, the beam easily ripping through the blast and incapacitating his opponent.
Piccolo tossed his cap at a pursuing soldier, the weighted item of clothing knocking him away. "Much better." the Namekian said, stretching his neck before he removed his shoulder guards and cape, tossing them over his shoulder into another group. "What, are you afraid to fight?" Piccolo asked with a grin, the soldiers behind him growling as they flew at him. "Hellzone grenade!" Piccolo shouted, shooting blasts in every direction.
The soldiers stopped dead, throwing their arms up in front of their faces and flinching before opening their eyes again.
"Ha...hahaha! You missed!" a helmeted soldier called.
"I wound't be too sure about that if I were you." Piccolo remarked, motioning to the side with his head.
The soldiers let out shocked gasps as they saw the still orbs of energy around them, beginning to fly away as they spotted the projectiles.
"I don't think so!" Piccolo roared, clapping his hands together as the energy bolts converged on the soldiers, consuming them in a large explosion.
Goten raced at a soldier, grabbing him by the shoulder guard and tossing him to Trunks, who knocked him to the ground with ease.
"This sure is fun, right Trunks?" Goten called as he darted around a soldier's punch, kicking his opponent in the back.
"Yeah, I haven't had this much fun in a long time!" Trunks replied as a soldier tried to kick him, the young boy dodging the attack before grabbing his leg and throwing him into the air, Goten hitting him with an energy bolt.
"Do you think we need to fuse?" Goten asked as he blew away a few soldiers with a blast.
"Not yet, these guys aren't that hard." Trunks replied, punching away a soldier before blasting another.
Mr. Satan ran behind a tent that had been set up for the party, praying it didn't get blown over. "Why couldn't I just hide with the rest of 'em?" he said, turning to run, stopping dead as he found himself face to face with a Planet Trade Soldier.
"I recognize you, Earth's broadcasts said you were the strongest man here, show me some of that might!" the green skinned warrior taunted.
"Oh me, I'm no one." Mr. Satan said with a nervous laugh, "I mean, my name is Mark, not Mr. Satan or anything like that."
"Enough!" the alien shouted, throwing a punch, Mr. Satan cowering, actually managing to dodge the strike.
The supposed "World's Strongest Man", emboldened by the move stood up straight and delivered a punch to the alien's jaw, knocking him to the ground. "I...I...I...I got one! I got one!" Mr. Satan exclaimed. "That's what you get for messin' with the champ, boy!" he shouted. going white as a group of soldiers rounded the corner.
"There he is!" they yelled, stopping in their tracks.
"Yeah, that's right, be scared." Mr. Satan called, falling to the ground as Buu blew passed him, scattering the soldiers with ease.
"You no pick on him!" Buu screamed, letting loose a torrent of energy from his mouth, obliterating a squad above him.
oOo
Cooler looked down at the battle, his displeasure obvious.
"Sir, our forces...they're defeating them!" Salza called out.
"This is impossible, we brought 2,500 soldiers!" Neiz growled.
"I say we go down there and turn this around on them." Dore suggested.
Cooler remained silent, flicking through readings on his scouter, his teeth clenching tighter with each one. "This isn't how it was supposed to be, they aren't this powerful, this is impossible." he growled.
Salza clenched his fist, glancing down at the fight below. "Permission to join the battle, my lord." he requested.
"Granted." Cooler answered, narrowing his eyes.
oOo
Goku flew passed a group of soldiers, delivering a chop to each one's neck before they could react, quickly turning to release a one-handed kamehameha, blowing away what was left of the soldiers in his area.
He turned as he felt two powerful Ki's approaching, smiling as Gohan and Kyuuri flew up to him.
"Wow, you've gotten a lot stronger since we first met." Goku remarked as he looked at Kyuuri.
"Well I've got you to thank for that, though I still haven't learned how to go Super Saiyan." she said, sending a glare towards Gohan.
"Hey, it a lot harder than it looks." Gohan said with a laugh. "The way this battle's going, I'd say it's almost over." he observed, the few soldiers left standing being easily overpowered below.
"Wait a second...do you feel that?" Goku asked, looking up.
"Yeah, how could I not?" Gohan responded.
"What? What is it?" Kyuuri pressed.
"There are three powerful ki's coming at us, and they're coming fast." he answered.
"You need to teach me to sense power levels." she remarked, her eyes going wide as none other than Salza, Dore, and Neiz came flying into view.
Kyuuri screamed, her body shaking with rage.
"Kyuuri, what's wrong?" Gohan asked urgently.
"They killed my mother and tried to kill my father and they would have killed me if I hadn't gotten away...it's their turn to feel pain! I'll kill them!" she screamed, flying at the three as fast as she could, her eyes going white as her aura surged around her.
"You see that Salza? There was third energy there that suddenly disap-" Neiz said, being cut off as Kyuuri appeared next to him, kicking him in the jaw.
"What the-?" Salza said, he and Dore stopping while Neiz recovered.
Kyuuri let loose another scream as she sent a barrage of energy bolts at the trio. The Saiyan girl's hands shook, her eyes widening when Salza charged out of the smoke, grabbing her wrists.
"I remember you now, the little Saiyan girl who's parents we killed...too bad we couldn't finish the job with you, luckily, you're not who we came here for, so I'll make this quick." he said with a smirk, tossing her to the side and sending a blast at her.
"I don't think so!" Gohan said as he materialized between them, deflecting the blast.
"Gah! Who are you?!" Salza question, raising his fist.
"My name is Gohan, I'm guessing you're here for my dad, so leave Kyuuri out of this!" he called.
"We'll do what we want! Now die!" Salza yelled, charging a blast only for Gohan to grasp the blonde alien's hand, extinguishing the energy bolt.
"Like I said, I don't think so!" he yelled, delivering a kick to Salza's side, the blue skinned alien flying downwards, barely managing to stop himself.
"What are you two waiting for?! Attack!" Salza called.
Dore charged Gohan, stopping as Goku grabbed him from behind, tossing him away.
"You! It's him, it's him!" Neiz called out.
"Ah, the monkey we're here for shows himself." Salza said with smirk.
Cooler's three elite branched out into a triangular formation, each releasing a powerful ball of energy at the Saiyan.
"Salza smirked, his smile disappearing as an elbow caught him across the face.
"No one else has to die today, I'm giving all of you a chance to leave right now, I suggest you take it." Goku announced, a rarely heard serious tone to his voice.
"Who do you think you are?!" Dore roared.
"A Saiyan from Earth." Goku replied.
Gohan flew to his father's side, Kyuuri close behind him.
"You think you've got these guys, Dad?" he asked.
"I've got them!" Kyuuri growled.
Salza growled, clenching his fists. "We are Cooler's elite! You stand no chance against us! We will not be toyed with!" he shouted. "Kill them all!"
Dore charged Goku, his massive fist missing the Saiyan by inches. Goku darted away from the green alien's knee before flying back in, delivering a punch straight to his chest. "Had enough yet?" Goku asked.
"I'm just getting warmed up!" Dore yelled. The elite soldier snapped a kick at the Saiyan, Goku ducking the strike and shoving the alien away before transmitting behind him and delivering a punch to his back.
Gohan easily dodged each of Salza's hits, the blue alien becoming more enraged with each one.
"Stop running and fight me!" he hissed.
"Okay, you asked for it." Gohan said with a smirk. The Half Saiyan stood still, arms crossed.
"You must want to die!" Salza laughed. With one swift motion, he threw a hook into the half-Saiyan's face, his smile fading as the Gohan didn't move, his gaze unbroken.
"Is that it?" Gohan asked, he grabbed a hold of Salza's wrist spinning the alien around before tossing him away.
Kyuuri faded to the left, sending a blast at Neiz, the alien merely flew through it and planted a fist in her stomach. "That was a cheap shot you got on me earlier, girl, you know your power level isn't even close to mine." he laughed.
"I'll...I'll kill you." she said in between breaths. She screamed, sending a volley of energy blasts at the alien, before charging in and punching him across the face with all the force she had.
"I don't think so." Neiz responded. He pulled his arm back, beginning to charge a blast as Salza flew straight into him, knocking him away.
"What are you doing?" Neiz growled.
"Why were you in the way?" Salza argued
"Sorry, was that too much for you?" Gohan taunted.
"How dare you? I'll show you your place, monkey!" Neiz roared as he flew towards Gohan, the Half-Saiyan easily dodging a punch before knocking the alien away with a kick.
Kyuuri tensed as Salza turned to her, readying a ball of energy. "Time to finish you like I should have done years ago!" he shouted.
The Saiyan girl closed her eyes, opening them when she heard the blast launch, and explode against something. She slowly raised her head, finding Gohan in front of her.
"I won't let you hurt her." he said, narrowing his eyes. He readied himself as Neiz flew back, coming at him from his left and Salza his right. With a shout, a gold aura exploded from the half-Saiyan, sending both attackers flying away.
Neiz stopped himself. "What?! Lord Cooler told us his father was the only Super Saiyan!"
"Doesn't matter, he's still not powerful enou-" Salza started, beginning to stammer as the reading appeared on his scouter. "This...this is impossible."
"This is just Super Saiyan 1." Gohan said with a smirk.
"It doesn't matter! I am an elite!" Salza yelled, the blue alien flying at the half-Saiyan faster and faster until...Gohan was no longer in front of him.
Gohan looked down at the blue skinned alien, deciding it was time to end this. "Ka-may-ha-may-HA!" he yelled, Salza turning just in time to scream as the stream of energy hit him.
Vegeta jumped back, extended his hand, easily blowing away another contingent of soldiers. The Saiyan Prince readied himself for another attack when a blue wave of energy smashed into the ground, digging a smoldering crater. "Now what's this all about?" Vegeta growled, flying up to investigate.
"And that's all from you." Gohan stated. The half-Saiyan ducked as Kyuuri flew passed him, towards a visibly stunned Neiz.
The Saiyan girl flew at the alien fists first, Neiz catching and putting her in a headlock. "If you try anything the girl dies!" he screeched.
"Go to hell." Kyuuri growled, firing energy bolt after energy bolt into the alien's stomach, Neiz responding by tightening his grip.
Gohan smirked, the alien looking at him curiously.
"What the hell are you so happy about?"
"You should have had more of your friends here to back you up." he stated.
Neiz felt a bead of sweat drop from his brow as he felt a presence behind him, letting Kyuuri go as he turned.
"Big Bang attack!" Vegeta yelled, the blue energy sphere vaporizing the alien completely.
"Thanks Vegeta." Gohan called.
"I had him right where I wanted him." Kyuuri growled as she righted herself.
"Where's Kakarot? I haven't seen him since the start of this battle, he better not be slacking off!" the Prince yelled.
Gohan began to answer, stopping as an unconscious Dore fell through the air, Goku slowly levitating himself down to meet them. "Sorry about that, I tried to give that guy every chance I could to back off but he wouldn't take it." the Saiyan man said with a laugh.
"That's because they fear me more than they do you." a voice called out.
Gohan, Goku, Kyuuri, and Vegeta looked up, a purple being with white organic armor flying down towards them.
"Cooler." Vegeta growled, gritting his teeth.
"Ah, the Saiyan Prince recognizes me, what a surprise, my visits to planet Vegeta were few and far in between, I usually just left it in Frieza's care...incompetent as he may have been." Cooler said with a smirk.
"So you're Frieza's brother, ey? Listen, I'm sorry for what I did to him, I offered your brother every chance leave and renounce his ways, but he wouldn't take it. It was the only option." Goku explained.
"You think I'm upset about Frieza's death? No! You've humiliated my family and shown universe that we can be defeated! I will not allow this to go unpunished! I'm just glad all the surviving Saiyans are here now so I can kill all you monkeys in one shot!" Cooler proclaimed, laughing maniacally as he raised his arm, an enormous red glow overtaking the sky as he charged a Death Ball. "Take this!" he yelled, releasing the projectile at them.
Goku flew to Vegeta, Gohan, and Kyuuri, placing his hand on Vegeta and Gohan's shoulders while Gohan wrapped an arm around Kyuuri, the four transmitting out of the blast's path.
oOo
Yamcha looked up, fear flashing across his face. "Everyone, we need to get out of here!" he shouted, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, Android 18, Krillin, Trunks, Goten, and Buu all clearing the area as the few remaining Planet Trade soldiers looked on in shock, the blast touching down and blowing away the Z Fighters as they attempted to get away from it.
Goku, Gohan, Kyuuri, and Vegeta reappeared below, standing on the edge of the crater.
"Kakarot, don't ever grab me like that again!" Vegeta shouted.
There was no time to respond as Cooler touched down on the opposite side of the crater, his gaze meeting that of Goku's while an arrogant smile adorned his face.
"Is that...?" Krillin stammered.
"Frieza's brother." Tien finished.
"Just sensing his ki I would have never thought...he's leagues above Frieza, it's hard to tell if we stand a chance." Piccolo said.
Goku locked eyes with the alien, smiling slightly. "I have to admit, you really caught me by surprise, I didn't know you'd be so strong."
"I wasn't always so powerful, when I heard you managed to defeat Majin Buu, I began training harder than ever...you see, my species are born naturally powerful. Frieza never trained a day in his life, yet achieved a power most could only dream of...other than you, that is. The point being, after my training, I've far exceeded my brother, and more than likely any other being in the universe...you truly have no idea how strong my people can become...especially me." he explained.
"Well, I suggest you stop talking and start showing me." Goku said.
"Oh no you don't!" Vegeta yelled, landing a punch to Goku's shoulder. "You got the last one! I'm taking him!"
Goku placed his hand on his chin, humming quietly as he thought. "Well, okay Vegeta, sounds fair to me, he's all yours! You sure you got this?" he asked with a grin.
"Don't be foolish Kakarot, you have no idea how far my power has come since we fought Buu." Vegeta said with a smile.
"Looking forward to it!" Goku yelled as Vegeta took to the air.
"Looks like my dad's gonna get this guy!" Trunks said proudly.
"Hey!" Kyuuri shouted, stepping forward with a fist raised.
"What could you possibly want?!" Vegeta yelled as he faced her.
"Make sure it hurts." she remarked.
"As if there's any chance it won't." Vegeta answered as he turned back towards Cooler.
The Planet Trade leader laughed loudly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Is this some kind of joke? Because this is rather amusing." he said with a smirk.
"I doubt you've ever felt fear before...so let me say, I'm looking forward to the look on your face when you see what the Prince of all Saiyans is truly capable of!" Vegeta shouted. The Saiyan Prince brought his arms in, his entire body tensing as he clenched his fists. He let out a long battle cry, his hair going from black to gold, his eyes turning turquoise as he tensed even more, his aura flickering and bursting around him like fire.
"Dad, are you feeling that?" Gohan asked.
"Sure am." Goku answered with a smile.
"GRAAAAAH!" Vegeta yelled as the Earth shook and shattered around him, an enormous golden flash filling the air as electricity shot out in all directions.
As the dust cleared, Vegeta remained where he was, with one difference.
The Z Fighters looked on in awe as Vegeta's knee length golden hair swayed in the wind, his aura pulsing around him.
"Whoa! He's gone Super Saiyan 3!" Gohan proclaimed.
"He sure has, you truly do amaze me Vegeta." Goku remarked.
Cooler looked on, a puzzled expression on his face. "So you're a Super Saiyan too, eh? I have to admit...I expected more of a change! Oh well, if you wish to die first, then so be it!"
"This isn't just the average Super Saiyan...this is Super Saiyan 3, meaning I've ascended beyond the form that so easily outclassed your brother not once, but twice!" Vegeta yelled.
"Yes, yes, yes, now let's get on with this farce." Cooler growled.
The two took off towards each other, Cooler throwing punch only to have Vegeta block it, delivering a kick to his ribs, followed by a punch to the sternum.
Cooler flew back, extending his arms to stop himself. "How...dare...YOU!?" he roared as he charged.
Vegeta and Cooler threw countless punches and kicks at each other, both blocking every one. Cooler pulled back, firing a bolt of energy, Vegeta side stepping it and lunging forward, Cooler barely being able to avoid being struck by the Prince's knee before Vegeta spun around, delivering a chop to his neck that sent him ground-wards.
"Take this!" Vegeta yelled, "Big Bang attack!"
Cooler charged the blue ball of ki, barely deflecting it as he made his way to the stunned Prince, Vegeta blocking a kick, Cooler pulling back his fist and striking the Prince in the face.
Vegeta grimaced as he recovered. "Lucky shot!" he yelled. As soon as he reached Cooler, he blocked a kick, Cooler blocked an elbow, Vegeta deflected a knee, and Cooler batted away a hook. Vegeta jumped back, letting loose a volley of ki blasts, Cooler flying above them, only to have Vegeta redirect them into his back.
"I may have underestimated you." Cooler said quietly.
"Oh really? You're just realizing that now?" Vegeta asked, teleporting out of sight.
"What the-!" Cooler said before Vegeta rematerialized behind him, kicking him down to Earth. The Planet Trade leader looked up, his eyes widening as the Prince crashed into him fists first, smashing him further into the ground.
"I'm sending you to hell! Make sure to say hi to your brother for me!" Vegeta yelled.
"No!" Cooler yelled, attempting to fly away as Vegeta charged another blast.
"FINAL FLASH!" he yelled, a golden wave of energy tearing away from him, smashing Cooler into the ground before exploding in a brilliant wave of light.
"Yeah Vegeta!" Gohan yelled.
"That's what I'm talkin' about!" Yamcha called out.
Kyuuri smiled, "Have fun in hell, freak." she said quietly.
"Wait!" Piccolo yelled, he's still alive down there.
"That's impossible, nothing could have survived that." Tien said.
The Z fighters looked on as a heavily injured Cooler levitated out of the hole Vegeta's attack had burned into the ground.
"Well, well, well, look who's hanging on by a thread." Vegeta said with a smile.
"Never in my life have I been made such a fool of! I will not let this stand, I will make you cower before me!" Cooler roared.
"Really now? I've easily bested your true form, so I'd like to see how you think that will happen." Vegeta laughed.
"Yes, this is my true form...but it is not my final." Cooler said with a smile.
"What? You mean you have a fifth form?! You! You're bluffing!" Vegeta called.
"Allow me to show you!" Cooler yelled. His muscles bulged, his organic white armor grew, spikes growing along it as his height doubled, armor growing along his forearms, a single spike jutting out of each newly grown piece while an enormous plate grew off of his head, four horns developing on the sides, and finally, his armor grew over his mouth, the transformation complete. "What do you think, Prince? Still think I'm bluffing?" Cooler asked with a laugh.
"It still won't be enough!" Vegeta shouted, charging forward as fast as possible, his aura flaring up around him. The Prince landed a punch straight to Cooler's chest, knocking him back before coming around behind him, kicking his opponent into the air. Vegeta flew upwards, pounding Cooler into the ground before releasing another Big Bang attack, the energy ball exploding against the alien as it crashed into him.
"Well, that didn't amount to much." Vegeta stated.
Just then, Cooler raced out of the crater, crashing into Vegeta full force. "Don't get over confident, Prince." he said as he wrapped his fingers around the Saiyan's neck. "Take this!" he yelled, tossing Vegeta into the ground.
The Saiyan Prince recovered, dodging an energy bolt as he took to the air again, landing a kick to Cooler's head, a crack spreading through his head plate.
"You'll pay for that!" Cooler yelled, racing towards Vegeta and throwing a hook. Vegeta blocked the punch, sending a knee towards his opponent, Cooler blocking it with ease before landing a punch to the Prince's face.
Vegeta looked up, shooting his galick gun at the advancing Cooler, his enraged opponent merely plowing through it. Cooler collided with Vegeta fists first, the Saiyan Prince attempting to hold him back as he pushed with more force.
"Let's see what you think of this!" Cooler shouted, shooting his Darkness Eye beams straight into Vegeta's chest.
The Saiyan Prince's arms gave way, Cooler smashing him into the ground. "Now die!" Cooler yelled, driving his foot into Vegeta's stomach.
"Dad! No!" Trunks yelled. The young boy turned Super Saiyan, heading straight for Cooler.
"Oh, what's this now?" Cooler said. The Planet Trade Leader raised his arm, shooting an energy bolt at the boy. Trunks tensed, only to have have Goku appear in front of him, batting away the blast.
"Stay here Trunks." Goku warned. With a loud cry Goku's gold aura exploded out from him, his hair extending down to his knees as he achieved Super Saiyan 3. "Cooler!" he shouted, flying straight through an energy blast and knocking the alien off of Vegeta.
"I didn't need your help, Kakarot." Vegeta growled as he stood up.
Goku didn't respond as he flew forward, sending a punch towards Cooler, the alien knocking him back. Just then, Vegeta flew passed foot first, landing a kick to Cooler's shoulder, the latter remaining unharmed as Vegeta leapt backwards.
"This guy's a lot stronger than I thought he'd be." Goku admitted.
Vegeta grunted in response before flying forward with a roar, he crashed into Cooler shoulder first, before spinning, delivering three kicks, followed by two punches, every one blocked by Cooler. "Damn YOU!" Vegeta yelled, letting loose another Final Flash.
Cooler laughed as he deflected the beam. He quickly lifted one arm above his head, charging and subsequently tossing a supernova at the two Super Saiyan 3s.
Goku and Vegeta readied themselves, extending their arms and catching the Supernova.
"We...we need to send it back." Vegeta growled.
"I'm trying." Goku responded as they both pushed back.
"I tire of this game." Cooler stated, shooting a Death Beam into the attack's core, the supernova detonating on top of the two Saiyans.
"Dad!" Gohan and Goten yelled in unison.
Kyuuri and the Z fighters gasped in shock, finding to their relief, Goku and Vegeta were still standing, albeit in their base forms.
Gohan shot forward, Goten and Trunks behind him, all three going super Saiyan.
"I never thought not being a Super Saiyan would make me the odd one out." Kyuuri remarked as she took off.
Gohan raced at Cooler, the alien blocking his every strike with ease, blowing him away with a telekinetic wave as Trunks and Goten charged him, Cooler knocking away flurries of kicks and punches from the two.
"Hey you!" Kyuuri yelled, landing a kick to Cooler's forehead as Goten and Trunks distracted him.
"I truly wish you all knew how insignificant you truly are!" Cooler exclaimed, spreading his arms as a shockwave exploded out from him, sending all the attacking Saiyans to their backs.
"Now you all-!" Cooler began, stopping as a destructo disc severed one of his horns.
Krillin gulped as the alien looked up at him.
"How dare you?!" Cooler yelled, sending a Death Beam at the short warrior, Android 18 pulling him out of it's path as Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo joined in.
"Tri- beam!"
"Special Beam Cannon!"
"Spirit Ball!" the three yelled, each attack making it's mark.
"Yeah!" We got him!" Yamcha proclaimed.
"I wouldn't be too sure." Tien corrected.
The smoke cleared, revealing Cooler charging a Death Ball, the attack fading away as a kamehameha hit him dead center, Master Roshi being responsible. "I'll teach you to respect your elders!" he yelled.
"Ridiculous." Cooler said as he extended two fingers, jabbing them into the air.
Piccolo dropped to the ground, pulling Master Roshi out of the way as Tien and Yamcha moved back, the ground underneath them shattering, an energy wave erupting into the sky.
"What the hell is this guy?" Tien asked.
"He's definitely Frieza's big brother." Krillin answered shakily.
Gohan recovered, charging Cooler once again, the alien blocking his punch before kneeing the half-Saiyan in the stomach. Gohan fell to his knees, looking up as none other than Gotenks flew passed him.
"Galactic Donut!" the half-Saiyan fusion yelled.
Three energy rings bound Cooler, the alien laughing as he shattered all of them and teleported away.
"What? Where did he...?" Gotenks said, looking up to find Cooler right above them.
"I won't give you the chance to fight." he said, kicking the fusion straight into the ground.
Kyuuri stood up, firing a volley of ki blasts at Cooler.
"I should have finished you years ago." Cooler said as he raised his hand, a finger beam shooting from him and penetrating her chest. She gasped as she fell, Gohan arriving to catch her.
"Kyuuri...Kyuuri no!" he yelled.
"I guess I wasn't powerful enough." she said quietly.
"Kyuuri, come on, stay with me!" Gohan said as her eyes began to close.
"Poor little monkey, did I kill your mate?" Cooler laughed.
"I won't let you hurt anyone anymore!" Goku yelled as he crashed into Cooler knocking him to the ground. "Gohan, get her out of here!"
Gohan nodded at his father, carrying Kyuuri away, the Saiyan girl groaning from her injury. "Hang in there, okay?" Gohan said as he dropped into his base form, channeling his energy into Kyuuri.
"Vegeta! It's the only way!" Goku called, the Prince narrowing his eyes at him.
"Las time when we fused against Buu I said it would be the last, and I meant it, Kakarot!" Vegeta shot back.
"Vegeta, come on! If Cooler wins he'll tear the entire Earth apart, and that will be the end, we can't come back from that!" Goku argued.
"Grr, fine!" Vegeta said as he dropped into the stance.
"Fu-sion-" Goku and Vegeta said as they approached each other.
"Oh no you don't!" Cooler roared as he flew to them, kicking Goku to the ground. "I saw what those brats did, and if you think you're doing the same thing, you are wrong!" Cooler announced.
Vegeta lunged at Cooler, his fist crossing the alien's face to no effect.
"You should have died long ago, Prince!" Cooler said as he grabbed Vegeta's arm with both hands, breaking the bone in half.
Vegeta cried out as he fell to the ground, firing off ki blasts from his left arm as he stumbled away, Cooler walking straight through them.
Goku stood up, using instant transmission to reach Vegeta, immediately teleporting his fellow Saiyan of Cooler's grasp.
"Kakarot, I can't move my arm...the fusion...we can't..." he said as he reached over, holding his arm.
Goku clenched his teeth, he looked over to his son, desperately holding onto Kyuuri, then down to Vegeta, the proud Prince broken, even Trunks and Goten had been defeated, the other Z fighters being nothing but ants to Cooler.
"I won't let him do this...I can't let him win..." Goku said, clenching his teeth.
"Goku...there's still another way...the Spirit bomb." Piccolo said.
"But I don't have the time." Goku responded.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll make the time." Gohan said as he flew to meet them.
Goku nodded, accepting it as the only way.
"What's this? Finally ready to fight?" Cooler asked in an amused tone.
"I'm not hiding from you!" Gohan yelled.
The half-Saiyan looked up, locking eyes with Cooler. "I've got something else for you." he said.
"Another pathetic Super Saiyan Form?" Cooler asked tauntingly.
Gohan smirked, pulling his fists in crying out, ascending to Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan two before his hair faded back to it's natural color, a white aura rising around him.
"What is this? Some kind of trick?" Cooler asked.
Gohan decided not to answer and opted to show him instead.
Cooler's eyes widened as Gohan disappeared, suddenly reappearing right in front of him.
"Take this!" Gohan yelled, planting his first firmly in Cooler's stomach, the alien shouting in pain before Gohan opened his hand. "Masenko!" he yelled, the blast sending Cooler, straight into the ground.
Cooler crawled out of the crater, eyeing the group around him when an idea struck.
oOo
Goku stared up into the sky as the Spirit Bomb began to form, the energy from the others fueling it.
Sudddenly Cooler, appeared, raising a hand and pointing a ki blast at Goku. "I won't let you charge that any further!" he yelled.
"Damn, it's not ready yet." Goku said through gritted teeth.
"You!" Gohan yelled as he raced at Cooler, his fist colliding with the alien's forearm.
"I'm going to kill you and your father!" Cooler exclaimed.
Gohan growled as he powered up. He darted forward, sending a barrage of kicks and punches at Cooler, the alien blocking them all before knocking Gohan away with a kick.
"Still haven't croaked yet? I'll be kind and finish you." Cooler said as he spotted Kyuuri in the distance, sending a death beam at her.
"No!" Gohan yelled as he appeared between them, taking the blast to his chest.
"If you want to die first, so be it!" he roared as he sent blast after blast at Gohan, the half-Saiyan taking each one.
"Go..han..." Kyuuri said quietly as she lay on the ground.
The half Saiyan raised his arms and ground his teeth, remaining in his Full Potential form as he took the barrage of blasts from Cooler.
"Give up yet?" Cooler laughed as he blasted Gohan, the half-Saiyan still managing to hang on.
"What the?!" Cooler yelled as Gohan lunged forward and gripped him. "You'll pay for what you've done!" the half-Saiyan yelled as he tossed Cooler away, reappearing above him and slapping him out of the air and into the ground.
"You'll make me pay! No! This is not how it's supposed to go! I will make you pay for what you've done! YOU!" Cooler yelled as his body tensed. "I'll have to use my full power!" he roared as he's muscle mass grew even larger, four black horns emerging from his head as more armor grew over his body. He roared as he charged Gohan, landing a punch to the half-Saiyan's chin that managed to toss him into the air.
Gohan fell onto his back, quickly standing back up and regaining his footing while pulling both his hands back and releasing a massive kamehameha, blowing away a screaming Cooler.
"No, I won't let it end like this!" Cooler said, raising an arm and charging a supernova. "Time to take out the trash!" he yelled, tossing the energy ball directly into Goahn's chest, the half-Saiyan falling to the ground with a crash.
"Come on." Goku thought as he clenched his fists while Cooler laughed, the Saiyan thought of his sons, of Chi-Chi. He cried out as he powered up to Super Saiyan 3, his power increasing. His gold aura reappeared more brilliant than ever, the light filling the the spirit bomb above him and turning it a bright gold in color.
"What...what's going on?" Tien asked.
"I don't know...but that power..." Piccolo replied before sensing another dramatic increase in power. The Namekian turned his head to find Gohan's power climbing as his eyes turned turquoise like that of a Super Saiyan. "Could he have...combined the forms?"
"What kind of trick is this?" Cooler hissed.
Gohan used the distraction to fly in and deliver a kick to Cooler's head, sending the being crashing into the ground below.
"I am done playing with you, monkey!" Cooler roared as he flew at Gohan.
The half-Saiyan man raised one arm, easily catching the alien's fist. "I won't let you leave here, you've caused too much destruction, you have to pay for what you've done!" Gohan yelled as he smashed his fist into the side of Cooler's face, his mouth guard and half of his head plate shattering while cracks spread through the blue diamond like plate on his head.
Cooler darted back in repeatedly, each attack being easily deflected by Gohan. "Take this!" he yelled as he shot a blast of energy at the half-Saiyan along with his Darkness Eye beams.
Gohan emerged from the smoke unscathed, still walking towards Cooler.
Cooler roared as he sent a punch at Gohan, the Saiyan catching it with ease, Cooler unwisely attempting to punch him again, Gohan catching the his left fist also. "What are you?" Cooler asked, fear in his voice.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not sure, let's just say I had more potential than I thought." Gohan growled.
Cooler stopped himself, tensing as he looked at the Saiyan below him. "No...this is not the way it ends...all Saiyans must die! This Planet must be destroyed!" he yelled. Cooler channeled all the power he had into his right arm, a massive supernova manifesting above his open hand as he shrank back to his true form, all of his available energy being channeled into the blast. "Die Saiyan!" he yelled as he tossed the supernova downwards, the Earth shaking and cracking as it grew near.
Gohan smirked as it grew close, he turned towards his father, channeling all of his available energy into the Spirit Bomb, the half-Saiyan dropping back into his base form.
"Thanks, Gohan." Goku said with a smile. "Now let's end this!" he roared as he launched the Spirit Bomb, the golden orb of pure ki easily forcing away the Supernova.
"No, no, noooo!" Cooler screamed as his blast was pushed back to him, the Spirit Bomb rocketing him out of the atmoshphere and into space. "That monkey, how did he survive...wait...I remember now...that day..." Cooler thought to himself, recalling the day of Planet Vegeta's destruction, when a single Saiyan Pod escaped, Cooler electing not to destroy it as it was Frieza's quadrant. "I don't believe it...I could have killed him...I let him go, I let him go!" he thought as he held onto his supernova. "That's this system's star...I could destroy it and let them all freeze to death." he thought as he turned his head, slowly coming to a grim realization. "Wait, I'm headed straight for it! No! Curse you Saiyans!" Cooler exclaimed as he entered the sun, his supernova fading away as he was incinerated.
oOo
Gohan fell to his knees, while his father did the same, falling out of his Super Saiyan 3 state and into his base form, Yamcha and Tien flying down to him.
"Good job, guys." Yamcha said as he helped Goku up.
"We couldn't have done it without you guys, Goku said with smile.
Up above Chioatzu and Buu flew into view.
"Where have you been?" Piccolo asked.
"We went to get some Sensu beans, I brought Mr. Buu with me in case any of those soldiers followed." Chioatzu answered.
"Quick, get some to Vegeta and Kyuuri, they're in bad shape...and where's Gohan" the Namekian asked, looking back to see him flying over to Kyuuri.
Chioatzu flew down to Gohan and Kyuuri while Buu took care of Vegeta.
"Here, take it slowly." Chioatzu advised as Gohan ate the bean, the burns and bruises he suffered while fighting Cooler disappearing immediately.
"Do you have anymore?" Gohan asked urgently.
Chioatzu placed another in Gohan's hands before turning towards Goku. "I'm going to go see if anyone else needs one." he said as he flew off.
"Please don't let it be too late." Gohan said as he dropped the bean into Kyuuri's mouth, relief washing over him as she bit down on it, the hole in her chest healing over quickly.
"Gohan...you saved me." she said with a smile.
"Well I..." was all Gohan had to say before the Saiyan girl pulled him in, locking her lips with his, wrapping her arms around him.
Gohan blushed as she let go, "Don't worry about it." he said with a nervous laugh. Kyuuri smiling in return.
oOo
"Get off me you blob!" Vegeta yelled, Buu attempting to pick him up.
"No! Small man tell Buu to take care of you!" Buu argued!
Vegeta managed to push Buu away, flying down to Goku with the Majin right behind him.
"You defeated him? How?" Vegeta asked in disbelief as he set his eyes on Gohan.
"I'm not sure really, I just thought about what he did to Kyuuri and the rage gave me a boost...but my Full Potential Form...I feel like it's been used up and it's gone now." the half-Saiyan answered.
Suddenly there was a clatter of rocks as Salza broke from the ground not far from them.
Goku and company looked on in shock as the elite soldier laughed.
"You all look like a bunch of deer caught in the headlights! You lose suckers! Now die!" he yelled as he pulled his arm back, charging a blast, his mouth falling open as a blast went straight through him, the soldier falling over, remaining motionless.
"That's for my parents." Kyuuri said as she looked on, hand still raised.
oOo
Mr. Satan cleared away debris from the bunker's doors as he pulled them open, Oolong, Chi-Chi, Puar, Bulma, and Marron running outside to greet their friends and family.
"Yamcha! You're okay!" Puar said as she greeted her friend.
Krillin and 18 knelt down as their daughter ran into their arms.
"Vegeta, Trunks!" Bulma called as she ran to them, "We saw everything, I was so worried!" she admitted.
"Hey Chi-Chi!" Goku called as Tien helped him up.
"Goku!" she called hugging her husband as Goten ran over. She quickly broke from the embrace, almost knocking her husband over as she picked up her younger son. "I was so worried for you." she said as she set him down, her face suddenly twisting in anger "Don't you ever run away from me again just to join in some dangerous battle! When I call you come! Understand me?!"
"Uh yeah, yeah! Sorry mom!" Goten responded.
Piccolo leaned back on a tree with Tien, Chioatzu, Puar and Yamcha joining him.
"It's times like this I'm glad I don't have any family." the Namekian said.
"You can say that again." Tien agreed, the group laughing as Chi-Chi scolded Goku and Goten.
oOo
"What do you say we go do something while we wait for your mother to cool down?" Kyuuri asked.
"Sounds good to me...I also don't want to be around when Bulma sees how much of her company has been destroyed." he said as he looked around.
"Good idea." Kyuuri agreed, the pair flying off towards the city.
oOo
There it was, my longest chapter yet! I hope you enjoyed it!
To those who might think Cooler was overpowered, in "Ressurection F" Frieza goes from having a power level of around 500k in his base form to being strong enough to easily overpower Super Saiyan (presumably 2) Gohan while still in his base form, so I thought that being his brother and all, Cooler would be able to do the same thing, i.e. reaching a drastically higher power level in short amount of time! ...I also just wanted to write in a powerful villain.
Thanks for the follows, favorites, and reviews, please make sure to tell me what you thought of this chapter!
