Previously on Part 6: Goku fought Ginyu and got his body stolen from him. Ginyu wanted to steal Vegeta's body but ended up back in his own body. Then he tried to steal Vegeta's body again but he ended up switching with a frog. Ironic, huh? Kageto and Bardock got their well deserved rest and as far as we know (actually " as far as YOU know") Fasha is still with Bulma sleeping (Can they sleep that long?). Are you excited about this chapter? Well, you should be. I know I am.
Part 7
Fasha woke up and looked around her. She remembered where she was and she stood up.
"I wonder where Bardock and Kageto flew off to. Should I leave Bulma on her own?"
Fasha used her future sight and she saw Bulma's future.
"Yeah, I better leave her alone before she wakes up. I don't want to screw up the future for Kageto."
Fasha flew away following a faint energy signature she just sensed.
"Kageto, let's go pay Gohan a visit," Bardock suggested, "We won't change the future as long as Vegeta doesn't wake up."
"Hmmm, I'm tired," Kageto groaned.
"We rested too much. We must do something so we don't get too lazy."
"I don't wanna stand up," Kageto whined.
Bardock swiftly moved and kicked Kageto upward and threw him down the hill. Kageto managed to regain his balance and landed safely on the ground.
"What did you do that for?"
"Hmph."
"What? Now you're mad at ME? You're the one who threw me off the hill."
"Shut up and walk," Bardock responded.
They reached Gohan who was sitting on a Dragon Ball. He was too busy thinking. He didn't hear Bardock approach him.
"Gohan, are you alright?"
"Dad? You're heal... Oh, it's you."
"You thought I was your father?"
"Yes, you look a lot like him."
"Yes, most Saiyans look alike," Bardock lied.
"I guess."
There was an akward silence that lasted for quite a while. Bardock regretted telling Gohan that most Saiyans looked alike. He really wanted to get close to his grandson. He really wanted to tell him. He felt a warm feeling enter his body.
"Go ahead. Tell him," Bardock heard in his head.
"Wha...?"
"It's me, Destiny."
"Oh. Do you really think I should tell him? Wouldn't that affect the future?"
"No, this kid can keep a secret. I didn't tell Kageto so do it fast."
Bardock stepped forward and put a hand on Gohan's right shoulder.
"Gohan, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Gohan asked.
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?"
"I'm going to tell you something that your father is not allowed to know yet. It's something very important, even to you."
"Yes?"
"I... um, I am y-your g-grandfather," Bardock said with difficulty.
"Really?" Gohan said shocked.
"Yes, but I couldn't say it earlier because it would have changed the future then."
"B-But that means y-your my dad's dad!"
"Yes, I have been thinking about my son for years. Remember, you must not tell him. The time to tell him will come soon enough."
"Y-Yes, g-grandpa."
They both started crying and they hugged each other. They didn't realize that Kageto returned and they didn't realize him leaving in the first place.
"What the..." Kageto intended to say but Destiny cut him off. He told Kageto everything and he just stood there watching Bardock hugging his grandson.
"I wish I could do that with Vegeta but he's as cold as ice."
"You never know," Destiny replied, "Maybe you can make a good guy out of him."
"I doubt it. I couldn't turn my own brother into a good guy let alone Vegeta. Even how hard I try, both of them will keep holding onto their pride. Let's take Vegeta as an example. He still defines himself as the Prince of all Saiyans. There are only nine Saiyans left in the entire universe. He still thinks he rules all of us."
"That may be so, but look at it from another angle. He misses his home planet and his father. Being the Prince is all he has left from his previous life. He can't deal with it. He knows that his race is almost extinct. He was so looking forward to rule over his race until Frieza killed them all. That explains his anger towards Frieza."
"Hmm, you may be right, Destiny."
"I am ALWAYS right."
"I might have to disagree with you on that one."
"You dare tell ME that I am wrong?"
"No, I dare tell you that YOU are stupid. How long have you been living in my head? YOU are supposed to know when I'm messing with you and when I'm serious."
"YOU must remember that I can take control of your body whenever I feel like it and prevent YOU to do anything stupid like arguing or mocking me."
"You always threaten me but you never actually execute that threat. How can I ever take you seriously?"
"How about now?"
Kageto felt his body get paralyzed but he was seeing his body move.
"Wha... Give me back my body!"
"This is to teach you not to take me lightly."
Just then Bardock, Gohan and Destiny sensed three power levels heading their way. After a minute of waiting they saw Krillin, Dende and Fasha land in front of them.
"Hey, Gohan, look who I found on the way over to Guru," Krillin said, "I bumped into Dende on my way there. He thought I was one of Frieza's soldier. While we were heading back here we bumped into Fasha. She told us that she sensed our energy and decided to follow us."
Fasha walked over to Bardock and said: "Were you crying, Bardock?"
"Yeah, I told Gohan I was his grandfather and things got emotional."
"Ah, so you've gotten a little soft, huh, Bardock? You cute emotional wreck."
"NO! I have NOT gotten soft. Don't toy with me Fasha!"
"You're even cute when you're angry."
"Stop it!"
"Ah, come on, I'm just having a little fun with you."
"It's not funny!"
"Alright, stop it you two. You're acting like a couple of teenagers," Destiny told them using Kageto's body (which includes his mouth).
"Ah, come on, Kageto, it was harmless."
"I'm not Kageto and it's not fair to Bardock. The first time he opens himself up you tease him and make fun of him. It wouldn't surprise me if he'll never open himself up to anyone again."
"Destiny?" Bardock asked.
"That's me. Kageto is on a time-out because he insulted me. He'll now experience how it feels to be helpless."
Krillin walked over to them and said: "Hey guys, we came to the idea to wish upon the Dragon without telling Vegeta or else he will use the wish for himself. Care to help us carry these huge things?"
"Yeah, sure," Bardock said.
Each of them carried one Dragon Ball while Destiny carried two. They were like a mile away from Frieza's ship when they landed on a hill and set the Dragon Balls in place. Dende stepped forward and began speaking in the Namekian language.
"Oh Great Porunga, rise and grant our wish!"
The Dragon Balls began glowing a bright orange light. The light began pulsing and the sky turned dark. The only light was coming from the Dragon Balls. Then suddenly a lightning-like yellow ray burst out of the Dragon Balls and began making his way upward. It began expanding and then it formed the original Eternal Dragon.
"You who have gathered the Dragon Balls, you have three wishes. Name them so that I can leave."
"What is he saying?" Krillin asked.
"He said you have three wishes. What will it be?"
"Three wishes? That's great!" Krillin said, "Can revive all our friends who have been killed back on Earth?"
"I can try."
"Oh mighty Porunga, can you revive the friends of these Earthlings who were killed back on Earth?"
"I can only bring back one person from the Next Dimension."
"What's wrong Dende?" Krillin asked.
"He said he can only bring back one person from the dead."
"What?"
"Krillin," a voice said in Krillin's head.
"Who is this?" Krillin asked.
"I am King Kai and I'm calling you from my planet in the Next Dimension. I have trained your friends here and I've heard your problem. You can only bring one person back to life."
"King Kai? So you know about our problem? Who should we revive?"
"Revive me," Piccolo said wit his hand on King Kai's shoulder, "If you revive me, you'll revive Kami. That restores the Earth's Dragon Balls to their usual state. You can then use those Dragon Balls to wish back the rest of these guys."
"That seems like a great idea. Dende, can you wish our friend Piccolo back? And with our next wish bring him to Namek."
"Wait, what? (Oh great Porunga, can you bring Piccolo back) That is a bad idea. I could get killed again and we'll (to life and then bring him to) all be screwed (Namek?).
"Your wishes have been granted. Please name your final wish."
Vegeta suddenly woke up from his sleep. He sensed something strange going on. He stood up and turned his head. Goku was still in the healing process. Vegeta then ran out into the hall and was making his way to the bathroom. On his way there his eye caught on something outside of the window. He looked outside and saw darkness upon the skies.
"Why is the sky dark? I don't recall it ever being night since the day I got here," Vegeta thought. Then it struck him. "Those brats! They stole the Dragon Balls and their using MY wish!"
Vegeta ran outside as fast as he could. He saw a huge Dragon towering in the distance. Vegeta flew over there as fast as he could. He landed behind Gohan and said:
"What the hell do you think YOU'RE doing? Are you stealing my wish?"
Vegeta walked over to Dende and grabbed him by the collar of his clothing.
"You give me my wish for immortality right NOW!"
"Y-Yes, s-sir."
"I feel they have summoned the dragon," Guru thought, "I can't hold it any longer. My strength is depleting. I think I'm going to die. I hope those Earthlings have made their wish."
"Oh Great Porunga, p-please make this man immor..."
Suddenly Porunga's eyes went black and he exploded upward in a green light. Seven stones fell from the sky with a huge thud.
"I-Is this supposed to happen?" Vegeta asked shocked.
"N-No, G-Guru is dead. The Dragon Balls have turned into stone. They are useless."
"Does that mean I didn't get my wish? What if Frieza himself gets here, huh? We'll all be killed without him even have to lift one finger! We are doomed!"
"That you are," they heard a high crackling voice behind them say.
Vegeta turned around slowly with a schocked expression on his face. Bardock, Fasha and Destiny disappeared without a trace just before Frieza got a good look at them. Krillin, Dende and Gohan were doing the same as Vegeta. If Vegeta was afraid of him, they wouldn't even last a second with him (Frieza). How can that little thing be so powerful.
"I've already killed one Namekian. The other old Namekian looked like he was going to die anyway. Now there's only one Namekian left to exterminate."
"You'll have to go through me, Frieza," Vegeta said with some courage he regained, "I've killed all your men, even Ginyu. I can take you down easily."
"Hmm, we'll see about that. ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR USING MY WISH!"
Frieza rushed at Vegeta and they were fighting at the same speed. Both of them blocking and attacking at the same time only so their attacks could get blocked and countered over and over again. Their power level were even and their hands were locked in a frame trying to push the other away. Both their ki was peaking and a hole formed beneath them. Ultimately they broke apart and were hurled backwards.
"I'm impressed, Vegeta, when did you get so strong?"
"At the same time you got so careless sending out your men to do your bidding. It's sad, really, because you have no men left alive on this planet. You are all on your own."
"You know, soldiers are just to make life easy. If I wanted to I could have gathered all those Dragon Balls myself but why do it if I have soldiers to do it for me, I mean, I've got so much of them I could practically send them each in a different direction to get the Dragon Balls way faster that way, but I wanted to see the process for myself. I guess you can't call me lazy anymore. But still, I could never think you could ever defeat Ginyu. You are way too careless. I'm surprised he didn't steal your body when he was at a disadvantage. Judging by your current power level you couldn't have defeated him that easily. Is there something you're not telling me?"
"I just happen to recieve some convenient outside help. He tried to change his body many times but never got to steal mine. If you're lucky you can spot him hopping around here somewhere. He's still alive but I think he's croaked. Heh heh heh, such clever wordplay."
"Well, I don't care what happened to him but right now I'm thinking about what will happen to you. You see, I have this secret that I haven't used yet. But when I do, you will surely die."
"It's that you can transform."
"It's that I can trans... Okay, how the HELL did you know that."
"Three simple words: Rumor has it."
"Well, just a warning: you are going to die. Isn't it nice of me to warn you that?"
"Why don't you transform already and we'll see?
"Very well, you've asked for it. But remember, when I transform, I won't hold back, maybe a few times for a little chatting break but still, don't count on it."
"Hmph."
Frieza started to charge up his ki and he started to bulge. He was getting bigger and stronger. All his muscles have grown immensely. After a few minutes he stood tall and looked more like an adult instead of a midget with a tail.
"Are you ready to die, Vegeta?"
"As ready as you are."
Vegeta and Frieza engaged in a hand in hand battle. They were going super-fast. Wherever they appeared for a brief moment there was a sonicboom. Gohan and Krillin could barely follow the fight. Meanwhile Destiny, Bardock and Fasha were watching from a distance.
"Did Bulma watch you leave?" Bardock asked.
"No, I did it quietly so she wouldn't wake up. I knew I had to leave her otherwise she wouldn't have found Ginyu. Those events were meant to happen."
"Good job, Fasha," Destiny responded, "You are really getting the hang of our job. Help whenever we can and step out when there's a crucial moment. You have to identify the loopholes within Fate. Sometimes a loophole would allow us to fight the opponents or even kill them if they were meant to die. I am so proud of you, Fasha."
"Thank you, Destiny, I learned from the best," Fasha responded making Kageto stand proud, "Bardock."
"What? You're telling me that Bardock is a better Fate Protector than I am?"
"You fell for it, Destiny. You are very easy to trick."
"Only by you, darling."
"Oh, and she can get away with it but not me?" Kageto said to Destiny.
"Yes, that's because she doesn't constantly try to do it unlike someone I know," Destiny responded.
Just then Frieza kicked Vegeta so hard he kept going through a rock wall. He stopped after quite some time but Frieza blew up the hill.
"You aren't as strong as you think you are, Frieza," Vegeta said as he recovered, "I'm only g-getting s-started. I can see the peak of your power while I'm only at half of my strength. I have become what you fear the most. I have become the LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN!"
"You and your stupid legend. Do you really think that you can defeat me let alone be stronger than me? You are sadly mistaken. All of this was just warm-up. Let me show you what true power is."
Frieza raised his hand and closed his fist. His purple aura became visible and suddenly everything exploded within a few mile radius. All the islands in the area got pulverized except the one Frieza was standing on. The sea was raging and huge waves washed up on the island. Gohan and Krillin were carrying Dende and were floating in the sky. Vegeta was at the same distance but only on the other side of Frieza.
"Is that all you've got?" Vegeta asked with a hint of courage.
"Hmm, which one to choose?" Frieza said to himself, "Aha, the ugly bald one."
Frieza rushed at super speed towards Krillin like a bull. He had his horns pointed and he impaled Krillin in the stomach.
"GRAAAAAAAAAH!" he screamed in agony.
"Well, you doubted me, Vegeta. So I'll kill this Earthling."
"What makes you think I care?"
"Well how about now?"
Frieza began moving his head back and forth.
"AAAAAAAAAH! H-H-Helllp Meee!"
Gohan was frozen with fear holding Dende.
"Do I look like I care if he dies?" Vegeta bluffed.
"Hmm, it seems you don't."
Frieza tilted his head sideways with force throwing Krillin off his horn. Krillin fell down on the island and Vegeta and Frieza descended.
"Well, how about the Saiyan kid?"
"You'll have to go through me," Vegeta said.
Bardock, Destiny and Fasha were a few miles away listening the conversation mentally.
"N-NO! I will not let him lay a finger on Gohan!" Bardock screamed.
He wanted to rush over there to face Frieza but Kageto and Fasha held him in place.
"Let me GO!" he screamed.
"No, Bardock," Fasha said to him calmly, "You will affect the future if Frieza even catches a glimpse of you."
"He HAS to die anyway. What difference does it make!"
"If you kill him, your son wouldn't discover his Super Saiyan powers and that will affect him. If there are stronger opponents than Frieza, you son WILL die. Do you want that to happen?"
Bardock calmed down but remained speechless.
"Answer me!" Fasha said strictly.
"No."
"Good, now stay here and watch the fight."
Gohan enraged and charged up his ki.
"Hey, Frieza. You do NOT mess with my friends!"
A tremendous power rose inside of him.
"Oh, how cute. The little Saiyan brat coming to the rescue."
Gohan rushed with incredible speed towards Frieza and landed an incredible amount of punches and kicks. Then he punched Frieza downward so he laid flat on the ground and charged a powerful energy ball.
"I will kill you with this. HERE, HAVE IT!"
Gohan fired his blast and it hit Frieza square in the chest. There was a huge explosion and when the smoke cleared up Frieza was laying face down on the ground covered with sand. Frieza struggled to his feet and dusted himself off.
"Hmm, that little brat managed to hurt me a little. He's gonna pay for that."
Frieza faded on the spot and reappeared in front of Gohan. He barraged him with punches and ultimately kicked him to the ground. He was crying in pain and was unable to get up. Frieza descended and slowly walked over to him. He suddenly became aware of a flash of light behind him and he did a backflip to avoid the mysterious attack. His tail got cut in half by a Destructo Disc and he landed back on his feet.
"Who DARED cut my tail off?"
"Hey, Frieza, come and get me if you can!" Krillin screamed while he blew a raspberry and slapped his ass. He flew away as fast as he could. Frieza pursued him off the battlefield and into the distance. Meanwhile Vegeta was thinking.
"How could that Earthling heal that hole through his stomach? I swear if he used that wish of immortality on himself, I will..."
Vegeta caught a glimpse of Dende moving towards Gohan. He stood over Gohan and put his hands on him. After a while Gohan was all healed up.
"Thank you, Dende, why did you heal me?"
"I need you to defeat that tyrant who killed my family."
"I'm not strong enough."
"You're my friend. That's another reason why I healed you."
"The only one who might stand a chance against Frieza is Vegeta. Even he is no match against Frieza."
"I was just counting on you guys to do something."
"I understand."
Just then Krillin returned and was standing in front of Gohan who meanwhile ascended to float next to Vegeta.
"Wow, Krillin, how did you escape?"
"I was flying as fast as I could when I saw a maze-like island and I decided to hide in there. He followed me and cut me at every end. That's when I used my Solar Flare technique and blinded him so I could escape."
Just then Frieza arrived back at the battlefield furious.
"I will kill all of you."
"Let's attack him with all we've got!" Vegeta screamed and all of them gave Frieza a volley of energy blasts. After the smoke cleared up, Frieza was floating at the exact same spot with no damage whatsoever."
"Now, time for all of you to die!"
"If I'm going to die, I'm going down fighting just like Mr. Piccolo did!"
Gohan rushed to attack Frieza but a bright light appeared between him and Frieza. As the light slowly faded, Piccolo appeared out of it.
"Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan screamed.
"Gohan, you're still alive."
"Mr. Piccolo, you're here!"
"Yes, Gohan, I came to destroy this evil tyrant once and for all."
"Well, I'm surprised I missed one of you. I could have sworn there was only one Namekian left. Who are you? Do you really think you could de...?"
Frieza's sentence was interrupted by a bone-shattering punch to his face by none other than Piccolo himself. Frieza got hurled quite far before he regained his posture.
"That's the best punch someone gave me so far. I think I'm going to play with you a little bit."
"You will only get hurt if you mess with me," Piccolo replied.
"We'll see about that."
Piccolo and Frieza engaged in a fierce one-on-one fight. Gohan, Vegeta and Krillin could do nothing but watch. Bardock, Fasha and Destiny were standing by about a mile away. Things were going to get hot. Lives are going to be at stake. Find out how it continues in the next chapter of Kageto: The Supreme Saiyan and The Fate Protectors.

I'm really writing this stuff fast. My highest is and always will be twelve pages. Not sure if I want to exceed that limit. It's my maximum. And it creates a certain suspense, don't you agree? Any comments or inside look please mail me at kagetoworldyahoo .com
