Chapter 8: Final Haunt
Kyon, Asakura, and Itsuki burst through the door to see what was behind them. As they stopped in front of Sasuke they changed their expression to a horrified look to what they saw in back of Sasuke.
Sasuke turned around to see Mikuru, knees on the ground, covering up a gory hole coming from her chest. Kyon shouted out in fear as he they rushed to her, "MS. ASAHINA!" Sasuke ran past all of them and burst into tears, "NOOOOOOOO!"
The figure behind her was laughing to himself. He was a scrawny pink and red figure, he had a long reptilian-like tail, and his body looked like it had some type of armor on. He had long horns sticking out of his head, which curved into the shape of slithering snakes.
Sasuke held up Mikuru's body, as she started to look up and look at all of the people worrying for her. She turned to Sasuke and started to cough up blood, "No, please, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!" He said as she stopped looking up and took her final breath.
Sasuke looked up to see another person, the older Mikuru, as her body started to fade away in light. He started to see what was happening, as she was disappearing because of her younger self not existing. She looked down and started to cry, "I'm….I'm sorry…truly I am…" she then completely disappeared into thin air.
Kyon, crying as well, screamed up in the air, "WHY, GOD, WHY!" The being before them laughed, then looked up at the open door, "I think the brat should go next…" He said in a hushed, evil, perverted tone.
Sasuke stood up slowly, making the figure start to look at him. Sasuke turned to him, their eyes locked, as the figure snickered seeing Sasuke's threatening, blood thirsty face. His eyes were bloodshot and his mouth stretched out as far as it could.
"You…heartless…thoughtless…bastard!"
Sasuke started to shake and started growling and clenching his fists.
Lightning struck nearby, the wind blew and the earth shook. Soon, more lightning started to descend closer and closer to the group. They were all looking at him, the being becoming more and more confused as to what he was witnessing. The water in the lake started to get rougher by the moment, as the mentally unstable Sasuke was causing more destruction.
"I will…make you…SUFFER."
Lighting final struck in front of Sasuke. Suddenly, his necklace started to glow a different color, it was blinking a pinkish color, and it made half of his jewel come off. He started to grunt louder and shake more violently. Pieces of rock around him were raised up, his hair started to glow a golden color, his muscles increased in size, his pupils turned blue, and he let out a scream that awakened the power that the heavens had sent him.
Everyone was in awe at what was before them, Sasuke's hair was raised up and a golden aura was surrounding him. Asakura spoke up, "He's become a Super Saiyan!" they both looked at her in confusion.
She then explained, "A Super Saiyan is a legendary transformation that a Saiyan goes through after intensive training or emotional loss. After Ms. Asahina was killed, this must have triggered the transformation…but a Super Saiyan only occurs every ten years, this makes him the new link in Saiyan history!"
Sasuke looked away from the now completely confused being, as the legendary warrior instructed the other three, "Go. Keep Haruhi inside the house at all cost, you'll be hearing a lot of explosions out here." They all nodded and ran inside of the house as the warrior turned his attention to the being. He pointed at him and started to question him, "You…you can't be…you can't be the same thing I fought on that planet!"
Sasuke disappeared and then reappeared, crushing the beings hand as the being started to cry out in pain. "I'm going to blow your body lower than hell, you have no idea what you've done, you've taken the last thing that reminded me of hope and just shot at it like a wild animal…You're the animal…and I will skin you until I'm satisfied." blood dripped from Janemba's hand as he screamed as loud as he could, "but first, I'm going to FUCKING MURDER YOU."
He suddenly let go of his hand and punched him all the way up into the sky. He flew up after him, grabbed his body and snapped his back as hard as he could on his knee. Janemba was crying out in pain as he finally escaped Sasuke's grasp and shot small, deadly energy beams at him. He dodged them all and flew towards Janemba and punched him right in the stomach. As Janemba gasped for air he stood in front of Sasuke and was nervous to look up. He slowly raised his head to see the angry saiyan's face looking down on him.
Janemba jumped back and proceeded to get answers, "You! You're a saiyan…but what the hell are you?"
Sasuke looked at him, getting angrier and angrier by the moment, and after a long time he said to him, "I am your fate!"
He rushed at Janemba and proceeded to attack him, he pounded on him as Janemba started to dodge his attacks. Janemba kicked him in the back and blasted him into the sky with a black energy attack, with Sasuke countering it with an energy attack coming from his left hand. Janemba gained the upper hand and pushed it right at Sasuke, making him fall out of the sky and vulnerable to attack.
As Janemba raced to attack him, Sasuke disappeared in a flash of light and roundhouse kicked Janemba, missing him. Janemba turned around and hit him in the face, blasting him away from him for recovery time. It didn't take long until Janemba raced after the Saiyan and attempted to impale him with his horns. Sasuke reappeared from behind him, took his two hands together, and made a strong blow on top of Janemba's head, making him fly into the lake.
Sasuke dove into the lake and started to blast as Janemba from underwater. Janemba opened the water up into a large bubble so both could breathe, while decking Sasuke in the jaw. The Saiyan jumped back to avoid the next attack, and reappeared behind him, grabbing his body and flying to the surface.
The Saiyan flew higher and higher until they reached the clouds. Janemba elbowed Sasuke to free himself, then proceeded to aim for Sasuke's neck to choke him. Sasuke dashed right, and blasted a large energy beam at his face. Janemba let out a yell, and then looked at Sasuke with half a face left. The face's blood formed into cubic units that reunited to reform his face. A snap from his neck was heard when he turned back at the Saiyan.
Janemba lunged at him, grabbing on to his shoulders and forcing him down, pushing deeper and deeper into the ground. When he got out of the hole, he proceeded to walk to the cottage, claiming he won the fight. He laughed to himself, "How oddly weak he was for a true 'warrior'. What a fool, she was just a waste anyways, why do you have to get worked up over a damn girl for."
Sasuke came up from the ground in front of him and blasted a huge energy wave into Janemba, pushing him up into the sky. He flew up and again stared at the weakened Janemba. "You're a waste of resource, you think you'll rule the universe with outstanding power? None will bow to you, not even the weakest of heart."
Janemba got confused and angry, "What are you talking about, I kill when I want! The weak die and the strong survive!"
Sasuke charged up an energy in his fist and punched Janemba as hard as he could in the stomach. Purple blood splattered from his mouth. "Fine, we'll play by your rules, Janemba."
Janemba, shaking from the blow, stood up and started to laugh weakly. "Now I know why you're planet was destroyed, I love it. You're too much!" Janemba took all of his might into his two fists and punched the saiyan down to the ground, shattering his collarbone.
Meanwhile, Kyon was looking out the window as he saw a giant ball of light emitting from the sky. He became worried about what was happening. He felt that Sasuke was the last hope in saving their time plane, and he was petrified about what would happen to Haruhi if she was caught.
"What is that?!" a voice said from behind him. It was Haruhi, and he had no idea how long she'd been there. Kyon jumped back and blocked her view of the window, "No idea, must be some fire cracker."
Haruhi gave him an odd look, "Whatever, I'm going to go check it out." She said as Kyon got in a panic and called for Koizumi.
Koizumi rushed in front of the door, "I feel it's a bit late to be going out, Ms. Suzumiya, why don't you check tomorrow. Haruhi got impatient and grabbed the doorknob, pushing Koizumi out of the way.
Suddenly Haruhi was pulled back by Kyon and struggled to keep his grip, "You REALLY shouldn't go out at this time, Haruhi."
She struggled and kicked at Kyon while Koizumi started to help. Haruhi got enraged, "Let go of me!"
Back at the fight, Sasuke looked up in the sky to see a sun-like ball of energy being held by Janemba. He gasped as he knew that that energy wasn't for him.
Janemba laughed as he looked down at the ground to see the Saiyan trembling with fear. "Sleeping on the job, Super Saiyan? I can gather a lot more power than you, you shouldn't have taken your eyes off of me!" He then slowly pointed his finger at the ground, "Now die along with this planet!"
Sasuke snapped out of his trance of thought and rushed at the energy ball, summoning all of his strength to stop the ball from destroying the Earth. Sasuke was struggling and screaming at the intense burns given to him by blocking the attack. He was slowly heading down back to earth, and still tried with all of his might to push it back.
"HAHAHAHA! Struggle all you want, it's over! That's what you get for disgracing your master." Janemba said as he pushed more energy into the attack, speeding up the process slowly.
Sasuke was now on the ground, pushing the ball with both his feet and arms, "You've murdered millions of innocent people! I…can't…let it…go OOONNN!"
Sasuke gave it his all, and yet he was being buried alive with the thought of him failing to protect everything he cared for.
At that moment, he realized something. Through his hardships, through losing his race, his brother, his love, he realized what Mikuru told him. Even in afterlife, spiritual she'll always love him and always be with him, always be cheering and believing him. His energy coming from his necklace glowed again and made a green light emit from his eyes and mouth, as he screamed with intense passion, blasting the energy ball into the sky. The blast he created was reducing the size of the ball, because the energy the blast was made of was made up of the weakness of Janemba…Emotion.
Janemba looked down in shock, "No! This can't be!" Janemba tried to stop the blast but was pushed farther up into the sky. Kyon opened blinds slightly in amazement to see Sasuke's blast destroying the virus once and for all. He exited Earth's atmosphere, still trying to stop the blast, "Blast that saiyan! This thing can't hold me forever! I'm going to get off and when I do, I'm going to rip him to pieces!"
He turned around to see a bright light coming closer to him, "It's the star of the solar system, maybe I'll just blow that up instead and let them all freeze to death." The sun got closer to him, "…Wait…NO! I'M HEADING RIGHT FOR IT!"
The energy ball collided with the sun, sandwiching the evil tyrant to evaporation, "Curse that simian bastard! Why wasn't he destroyed with the rest of them!?"
Janemba's dyeing expression changed to a look of shock, fear, and sadness. He remembered. He remembered traumatizing the little saiyan, he remembered making him turn Super Saiyan, he remembered sexually teasing him with Asakura, and he remembered he let him live.
"I…I…I DON'T BELIEVE IT!...I COULD'VE KILLED HIM! I LET HIM GO! I LET HIM GO!"
Sasuke screamed and executed a closing strike on the energy attack, making the tyrant burn and evaporate at the same time. Janemba saw the Saiyan's face, it was red with no pupils, and it screamed right at his own.
"SSSAAAASSSSUUUUKKKKEEEE!"
The energy ball exploded, combining with a solar flare in the sun, lighting up the night sky. Janemba's dyeing words echoed towards Sasuke, as he fell to the ground, transforming back into the state he was before the fight. He fell hard to the ground and sat there, with a smile on his face.
Haruhi burst through the door with a gasp of relief. She saw a part of the light and looked contently at it, "Wow! Must've been an eclipse or something, Oh well, at least next time I see it I won't have two assholes blocking the door. "She said as she walked into the house angrily. The two both shrugged as they saw Asakura come through the bushes, "Please help! Sasuke is badly injured and needs you to find an old chest under his bed.
Kyon nodded as Koizumi ran into the forest to follow her. When Kyon ran inside the bedroom and looked under the bed, sure enough, there was an ancient stone chest. He lifted it up and hurried down to the lake to help him out. He burst through the door and ran through the dark path, being careful not to step on anything.
Asakura and Itsuki were trying to help Sasuke get comfortable just as Kyon arrived. He put the stone chest down and asked him what to do. Sasuke struggled to talk, "Open it, and break what's inside."
Kyon lifted the chest open and saw a white glowing orb. He looked at it and examine its mysteriousness. As instructed, he threw it to the ground, breaking it to reveal a small little girl with pointed ears, and white cloak. She introduced herself, "I am the mythical Oni of the Kai's, speak your wishes to me."
Sasuke lifted himself up, "First…please b-bring back all who were killed by Janemba in this timeplane…Second…F-f-fix the damage done by him…and f-f-finally…give me the…give me the location of my timeline's Janemba…"
A white light started to surround the party, and soon the entire lake. She then whispered, "it has been done."
