Chapter 5: Into the Abyss
For a moment Harry was stunned. Before he stretched out his senses and searched for her.
He could sense a strand of energy, from where he stood, leading to the vortex.
A instant later an aura of blazing flame sprung up around him.
"Harry DON'T" Gohan yelled "You don't know who you're dealing with"
"Who am I dealing with?" Harry snarled.
"The only being in existence who ever succeeded in attaining immortality from the Dragonballs" Piccolo snarled "Garlic Junior"
"So he's immortal?" Remus asked.
"Yeah" Gohan growled "Last time we tangled he was even more powerful thanks to the Makiyo Star"
"Problem is that he's still in the Dead Zone" Gohan said "It's me he wants"
"Why you?" Remus asked
"I've been pissing in his plans since I was four" Gohan said "I'm the one who sent him to the Dead Zone both times. I can fight him, I think. But the problem is that as long as he's immortal it'll be like I'm bashing my head against a trinium wall"
"Piccolo" Harry called "If Shenron gave this guy his immortality, can he take it back?"
"We've already seen that Shenron can reach across dimensions" Krillen said
"OK" Harry said as he raised his hand over his head and released a pulse of magical energy "The Dragonballs will be here soon, somebody stay out here and summon the dragon and take care of business, we'll get Lime"
"I'll stay here and keep the portal open" Piccolo said "I don't trust that worm not to close it when you go through"
"We need to keep the authorities from getting close" Remus said "I'll put up some wards and then go get Babba"
"Somebody has to say here" Krillen said.
"You guys do that" Harry said "No offence, but we have no idea how powerful this guy is now, Me, Gohan and Vegeta are the only ones going in"
"Be careful" Remus warned as he dove off the tower and vanished in mid-dive.
"The Dragonballs should get here soon" Harry said as he drifted into the air "Take them to Capsule Corp and do the job"
"How will you know?" Krillen asked
"He'll stop regenerating" Piccolo answered "He can be harmed, but fatal wounds will heal themselves. Go for the head. It'll slow him down"
"Don't screw around with this guy Vegeta" Gohan warned as he floated into the air "Garlic Junior is one of the most brutal opponents I ever faced before I became a super saiyan"
"Worse than Frieza?" Harry asked
"Frieza just wanted to kill us" Gohan shrugged "Garlic Junior wanted to turn every living being on earth into his slave and crush me, Kami and my Dad into the dust. He's unpredictable"
"Enough talking" Harry barked as his aura flared "Let's get it done"
"Yeah" Gohan nodded as the lightning crackled around him and joined Harry at the mouth of the Vortex.
Followed quickly by Vegeta, a hungry grin on his face at the prospect of the challenge of an unkillable opponent.
"Lime is our priority" Gohan warned "We get her, and leave, do what you have to in order to achieve that"
"I understand brat" Vegeta growled as his own aura flared and he shot towards the vortex. Followed by a second golden stream and a blazing crimson aura"
