10. Ash, The Super Saiyan 4
Brian looked at his father, who began to glow. Ash was engulfed in a bright orb of energy. During all this, Ash regained his humanity and realized that he had to stop Giovanni once and for all, and that this was the only way to do it. He thought about Misty, Brian, his mother, Vegetto, everybody he cared about, and made that his weapon to beat Rocket Three.
The light became more intense, although the orb became smaller. Ash had started to shrink to his normal, human form. Brian could faintly made out a silhouette, and recognised his dad. Misty started to wake up. Brian looked at his mother. "Mom? Are you allright?", he asked. "Could have been better.", she smiled. Then she sensed Ash, and looked into his direction. "What is happening to Ash?", she asked. "I don't know, mom. But his strength is greater than ever.", Brian replied. Misty nodded, and they flew back to the ground. When they landed, a few rocks were destroyed. They looked into that direction, but a cloud of dust blurred their vision. When that faded away, they could look at Ash.
Ash stood on a pile of rocks. He had is normal size back. Out of the back of his pants stuck his tail, but it was reddish colored. Ash upper body was completely covered in reddish fur, with the exception of his hands, a part of his chest, neck and head, which remained normal. His hair was black, and was longer than normal, with two locks of hair alongside his face. His eyes were somehow yellow, and his eyelids were red. Ash looked at Rocket Three, who couldn't say a word. Then Ash looked at Misty and Brian. "Dad? Is that really you?", Brian asked, scared. "Ash? What has happened to you?", Misty asked, also scared. Ash smiled, and put his thumb up. He then flew off to them.
Vegetto and Delia sensed Ash, who's power has jumped through the roof. "What has happened to Ash? He is stronger then ever!", Delia shouted. Vegetto comforted her. "It's okay. He has become more powerful, to stop Rocket Three.", he said. "But he has transformed as well. The question is, into what?", he thought. "Go get that bastard, Ash. Make him pay for what he did.", Vegetto said. And together with Delia he stared into direction of the battlefield.
"Daddy!", Brian shouted, crying out of joy. Ash picked up his son, and hugged him. Misty walked up to him, and also cried. Ash tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, it's still same old me.", he said. "But now I'm a Super Saiyan 4. And I will need this new strength to beat Rocket Three over there.". Misty looked at him. Although he looked somehow evil, he still had that comforting look. "Go get him Ash. And then, please come home."
, she said. "Don't worry.", he said, and putted Brian back on the ground. "I will defeat this guy, and then I'm going after Giovanni, if he isn't gone already. If he is, I will be ready for him.", Ash said. "Now go. And tell Vegetto that he doesn't need to help me.". Brian and Misty flew off, back to Pallet Town. Ash flew in front of Rocket Three. "And now it's between you and me.", Ash said, and got ready for battle.
Giovanni looked at the monitor. "This can't be happening!", he shouted. He then turned to his scientist. "Prepare for immediate evacuation. I hope that your stuff is in the main lab.". "Yes sir, it is. But who will be the next person?", the scientist asked. Giovanni looked at him, grinning evily. "That person would be…me.", he said. "Get everything ready, we're leaving now!". In less then ten minutes the whole base was evacuated, all underground, by means of subs. Giovanni continued to watch the fight on a remote monitor in the sub. "First I want to know his strength. I must be stronger than him, do you got that?", he said to his scientist. "Yes sir, we will begin right away when we arrive at our lab.", the scietist replied, amd walked off. Giovanni stared to the screen. "Next time Ash, we will fight it out, and I will destroy you, and everyone that stands in my way!", he thought.
Ash charged at Rocket Three, and attacked him with a barrage of attacks. Rocket Three couldn't defend himself too well, and he got hammered pretty hard. Ash kicked him away, and threw an energy blast after him. With a loud explosion the blast collided with Rocket Three. Ash waited a moment, and Rocket Three, now badly hurt and wounded, emerged out of the cloud of smoke. He looked mad, very mad. "You will pay for this! I can't be beaten by someone like you!", he yelled, but he knew he couldn't win. "I heared that before. And you know what? I'm tired of it. First your boss abducted my wife and son, so that I will be defeated when I fought you. And now you look like you just want to give up?! You will pay, for what you did to my FAMILY!!!", Ash yelled, and powered up to his maximum. His aura was still yellow. Rocket Three looked scared, because he knew he was going down. But he had one last trick to use. "Let's see how you handle this!", he yelled, and cupped his hands. "Kamehame…", and pointed the attack at Ash. Ash was a little surprised, but he knew that this attack couldn't do any harm to him. "Take your best shot.", he said. "Enough!!! HAAAAAAA!!!", Rocket Three screamed, and launched the beam straight at Ash. It hit dead on.
Underway, Brian and Misty could feel the battle raging on. "Dad is winning! Mom, he is actually winning!!!", Brian yelled out of joy. "I know, dear. He truly is capable of doing the impossible sometimes.", Misty replied. "Come on, let's go home.". And both of them flew off to Pallet Town.
Rocket Three smirked. He had launched his attack straight at Ash, and he didn't even dodge it. He lowered his hands, but then he saw something in the cloud of dust. "It can't be! It hit dead on!", Rocket Three yelled, as he saw Ash standing, seemingly unhurt. Ash grinned. "Was that your best attack? Not very original, I must say. But allow me to demonstrate how it is done!", he said. "Ka…Me…Ha…Me…!", he yelled, and pointed his hands forward. Rocket Three couldn't move an inch of fear. "IT'S ALL OVER FOR YOU! HAAAAAAA!!!!", Ash screamed, and fired his beam straight at his enemy. It collided and Rocket Three screamed out in pain. "GO TO HELL!!!", Ash yelled, and Rocket Three was finally defeated, but his head remained. It bounced on the ground. Ash flew to it, and picked it up. He looked into the eyes. "Giovanni, if you can see and hear me, mark my words: I will not rest until I've found you and defeat you!", Ash said, and crushed the head in his hand. He then powered down to normal. "Hmm, not that much tired. Better go back.", he thought, and flew off.
Vegetto walked up to Ash, who just landed. "Well done, Ash. Although you didn't had to knock my lights out.", he said. "Otherwise, there was no way I could go. I hope you understand that.", Ash replied. "I do. So, what are we going to do now? Sit back and enjoy our free time?", Vegetto asked. "Yeah, I guess so. But you won't have time for that.", Ash said. Vegetto looked surprised, but then he knew what Ash meant. "You want me to become a Super Saiyan 4?", he asked. "That's right. And I suggest you start right away.", Ash said, and suddenly transformed into Super Saiyan 4. "This is how it looks. Once you look like this, you know you have done it.", he said. Vegetto looked at Ash, astounished. Ash powered down to normal. "Good luck. You will need it, Vegetto.", Ash said, and walked into his house, where Misty and Brian were waiting.
