Sorry for the long wait on this chapter
I apologize for the long wait but I had a case of writers block but now I've got fresh ideas. Thanks again to my loyal reviewers and without further ado here is this chapter.
Disclaimer:I own nothing of DBZ only David Griffin
Dave charged forward in his ascended form. His first attempt had failed horribly but now he was more confident in his abilities.
Ares threw his fist forward while Dave was speeding towards him. Dave had enough reaction time to push aside his hand and deliver a hard right to Ares jaw. Before Ares could react Dave brought his left foot across his body and hit Ares with a roundhouse kick. Ares slightly moved forward and Dave fazed in front of him before swinging with a punch aimed at Ares mid-section. However Ares suddenly sprang into action. He grabbed Dave's fist and smiled.
"I think that's enough fun for now" he said in a devious tone.
Ares disappeared from view, but Dave knew the battle wasn't over. Dave began to search for Ares power level but he couldn't find a trace of it. Suddenly Dave felt a sharp pain across his back as Ares appeared and delivered a cheap shot to the back. Dave plummeted towards the Earth before he stopped himself in mid-air. Dave twisted around to see Ares already heading towards him. He tried his best to put up his defenses but Ares was incredibly fast. Unable to keep up Dave's merciless pounding began.
'I should've called for Gohan and the others before jumping into battle. I was never a real match for him in the first place' Dave thought. Ares began delivering punches to his face. If this kept up he would be unconscious soon and eventually dead. 'If I can keep my power level up for enough time someone is bound to sense it. I can't give up yet.'
Ares began attacking his body again as Dave started to pull out his inner energy. Gohan had taught him about this, plus he had seen it done on the show multiple times. With one defiant yell Dave let his inner strength explode. Ares jumped back a good distance with a satisfied smirk.
"Maybe this battle won't be a waste of my time after all" he said.
'It may not be enough to defeat him, but it'll stall for time' thought Dave, and with that he charged Ares.
Instead of being brash Dave decided on being tactical instead. He feigned a punch and threw a kick to Ares stomach, catching him off guard. Ares looked up angry before launching an attack on Dave. Dave quickly began to block as much punch and kick combinations as he could. Eventually one of Ares punches broke through his defenses and hit Dave in the chest sending him backwards. Ares pursued his prey and began the beating again. Dave blocked a right hand but Ares caught him with a kick that sent him into the ground.
'Hopefully someone got the message' hethought.
Gohan flew through the skies impatiently. He had searched three cities and found no trace of this Ares guy. Neither Dave nor his father had reported anything. Gohan was beginning to get frustrated.
"I wish we had a better idea of where this guy would be" he said to himself as he stopped in order to think. Then something got his attention. A power level had drastically increased. Then he sensed another, much more powerful power source.
"That's got to be it" Gohan said outloud. "I've got to get there before someone dies."
With that Gohan flew off at top speed towards the battle site.
Dave slowly tried to pick himself up off the ground, however the beating he just received didn't make it easy. Ares walked over to him and placed a foot on his back causing him to fall back down to the Earth.
"Now don't you wish you hadn't interfered" he said and powered up an energy ball. "Now I'm going to have to destroy you and your two little friends over there."
Dave closed his eyes in desperation. 'So this is how it ends huh?' he thought. 'Well at least I gave it a try'
"ARG!"
Dave felt the pressure on his back lifted and he heard a distant crash.
"As my student I thought you would've put up a better fight" came a stern voice.
Vegeta? Well not who he was expecting but he'd take anything at the moment. "Yea, well he's stronger than you think."
"Ha, we'll see about that" Vegeta said cockily. He was still in his basic form and had his arms across his chest.
Dave looked over in the direction of the crash and saw Ares getting up and dusting himself off.
"Well someone who finally made an impact or a death wish" he said with an evil laugh. "Let's see how you fair against the Ultimate Warrior!"
"You sure love to toot your own horn" Dave commented.
Vegeta smirked. "Even the Ultimate Warrior will bow down to the Prince of ALL Saiyans!"
"Apparently he's not the only one" Dave mumbled as he watched from the sidelines.
"Enough talk saiyan, I've been waiting patiently but now I'm sick of waiting. I will spill saiyan blood on this day, mark my words" he said as he raised his power.
"Then let us begin"
Ares charged forward with anticipation. Vegeta jumped backwards as he dodged his first punch. They both went in and out of view as they moved at incredible speeds. After a few minutes they both jumped apart.
"Impressive" Ares said. "Now why don't you show me some real power."
Vegeta laughed as his power began to rapidly increase and in a flash his hair had taken on a golden color. His black eyes had turned teal and he was enveloped in a golden aura. Dave realized that Vegeta had not gone to his full potential but instead to the first level of super saiyan. Dave figured Vegeta was scooping out how strong Ares truly was before going full power.
As the two warriors began to battle again Dave collected the unconscious bodies of Goten and Trunks. The two half-saiyans had put up a valiant effort. Dave couldn't help but wonder what would've happen if Gotenks had been able to reach his super saiyan 3 level. Maybe this battle would've been over by now. For now Dave turned his view back towards the current battle.
Vegeta took the offensive as he charged towards Ares. He started off by throwing a flurry of punches. He threw a right jab, which Ares easily dodged, then delivered a left hook that connected with Ares head. Ares stepped back slightly, and Vegeta continued his attack. Vegeta unleashed rapid punches to Ares mid-section. Ares couldn't believe he was actually feeling some pain, especially due to a saiyan.
Gritting his teeth Ares grabbed both of Vegeta's wrist. He began to squeeze and delivered a knee to Vegeta's gut. The shock on his face was evident as Ares had turned the tables out of nowhere. He began his own offensive on Vegeta varying from punches to kicks.
Dave watched in disbelief as Ares elbowed Vegeta in the face sending him flying backwards. Ares then fazed behind him and hit him from behind sending him crashing into the Earth. Vegeta recovered but not as quickly as before. When he looked up he saw Ares forming an energy blast, aimed directly at him. Vegeta let out a yell as his power began to rise once more.
"What's this?" asked Ares in delightful surprise. "And here I was thinking you were finished."
Vegeta now had electricity sparking around him. The only other change besides muscle increase was his hair was now sharper.
Vegeta let out a laugh and continued laughing until Dave thought he had went insane. "You fool, I can see that you are no match for me at this level. I'll have fun destroying you."
With that Vegeta charged forward. Both opponents disappeared from view however; when they collided a shockwave could be felt. Vegeta finally got the upper hand when he landed a right punch across the jaw. Vegeta quickly followed up with a hard knee to the gut that caused Ares to double over in pain.
'Could he win?' thought Dave hopefully from his place on the ground.
Vegeta took advantage of Ares vulnerable state and began to deliver a flurry of punches to the face much like what Ares had done to Dave. He finally stopped and delivered a blast that sent Ares tumbling backwards.
"Is that enough fight for you" Vegeta mocked.
"Fool! I have destroyed civilizations; made species extinct. You have yet to see my full power" Ares threatened.
'Shit, Vegeta don't be cocky' Dave begged.
"I doubt your true power will make any difference. Go ahead power up" Vegeta taunted.
"Vegeta no!" shouted Dave. "Doesn't this scenario seem familiar, like when you let Cell reach his Perfect Form! You can't let him do the same."
"This is different, I am stronger than I ever was back then" Vegeta remarked. Dave sighed there was no way he could get through Vegeta's pride.
As Vegeta egged Ares on Gohan arrived next to him.
"So that's him huh" Gohan said more of a statement than a question.
"Yea, he's beat me, Gotenks, and now Vegeta's super saiyan 2" Dave informed him.
"Does he have a chance?" Gohan asked. Dave looked at the two fighters before replying.
"Well Ares hasn't even powered up to his full extent" Dave replied. "Even in his current state I believe he could defeat Vegeta."
"Then we need to get the boys and get out of here" Gohan said. "There's no point in fighting a battle we can't win. We'll regroup at Kami's Lookout."
Dave nodded in agreement, he handed Goten over to Gohan and turned to Vegeta. "We need to regroup!"
"Do what you will, but I never flee from a fight" Vegeta said. Gohan and Dave decided he would meet with him eventually as they flew off.
'Hopefully it won't take a major beating to get through to him' Dave thought as they headed in the direction of Kami's Lookout.
Once they arrived they were greeted by Dende and Goku. Dave noticed Goku was holding a bag of sensu beans.
"I figured if he was as strong as you said, we'd need these" Goku said.
"You were right" Dave said with a thankful smile. "However he's more powerful than I suspected."
"Dad he took out Goten and Trunks fused, now he's fighting Vegeta at Ascended Super Saiyan level" Gohan added.
"Wow" said Goku amazed. "This guy must be strong. I can't wait to have a go at him."
"What if you can't defeat him?" Dave asked. "I mean we all hope you can but Vegeta is fighting him and Ares isn't even at his full power."
"We could train, but I think we're going to need something more" Goku said thoughtfully.
"What about fusion?" suggested Dave.
"Yes! Between you and Vegeta" agreed Dende.
"I don't see Vegeta agreeing to that on his own will" Gohan commented.
"I had someone else in mind" Goku said with a wide grin.
"Who?" asked Dave.
Alright its up to you reviewers now! I'm having some trouble coming up with a new fusion. I was going to have Gotenks and Dave fuse into Datenks but the size difference is large and I don't know if that is within the rules of fusion.
So give me your suggestions on who should fuse and supply a name if you can. Much appreciated!
