I OWN NOTHING RELATED TO DBZ THIS IS JUST A FAN-MADE STORY!
No one but Piccolo and Kami had heard and noticed Hoi sneaking in the backround but they all did notice the evil energy coming of from behind them.
Hoi's eyes had changed to a pure chaotic red and a dark blue demonic aura had engulfed his body,an aura that did not belong to him.
Kami tightened his fists summoning his godly power,his entire body instantly changing to pure gold as everyone turned at him abruptly from sensing the positive energy emitting from him.
Before anyone could utter a word the guardian extended his staff towards the necromancer's location and in less than a second Hoi was pulled in front of them by the invisible force of the guardian.
"I Think you have some explaining to do demon!" Said Kami as he focused his entire ki on keeping Hoi at bay."There is a dark secret behind all this and you are going tell us what it is, right now!" continued the old man with authority.
"As you wish..." Said Hoi under strain as he suddenly smirked.
"Devnam karkon Hildegarn olseta... Dabra!"
*Arise from within Hirudegarn in the name of... Dabura!*
Suddenly Hoi's skin changed from purple to red as two small horns sprouted out from his head and last his eyes turned to a sickly yellow with two black dots in the center.
He had also grown taller and more mascular than before, his height now was rivaling Gohan's.
Kami was shaking like a leaf as he wispered in pure fear:"Dabura...no..."
With just looking at the guardian Hoi broke the invinsible chains as a red bolt shocked the old namekian who fell down like a rock, feeling the effects Piccolo kneeled suddenly as his ki went berserk.
{This attack...He just attacked our soul...} Thought Piccolo in astonishment, having experienced the same kind of pain back when Garlick Junior had returned.
Minosha suddenly began screaming in pain as his body was being stretched from what seemed to be a blue light.
The light faded and the boy fell down clutching its head.
Vegeta had enough of this, the time to act was now.
He transformed into a super saiyan and launched at Hoi with all his might ,he threw his punch out but with a small twist Hoi dodged it.
"How?!" said Vegeta in shock.
"Get away from my sight!" Boomed a new voice mixed with the magicians as he backhanded Vegeta throwing him off the lookout at hypersonic speeds.
Everyone but the stanned Namekians powered up to their max ready to attack the buffed imp , before they could however, a blue portal appeared in the sky and what came out of it was not from this realm.
A Gigantic being with a bug like beaslty body suddenly was looking at the protectors of the Earth, the red demonic eyes on the skull that he had as a head peering at their very soul.
Hoi extended his hand towards the monster as he began what seemed like energy transfer, the blue light leaving his body and going into the monster as it came out of the hole whole once again after a millenia.
Minosha shakily gotten on his feet as they all watched the beast growling in rage.
Suddenly its tail made its appearance and struck out to the small group that barely dodged it as each of them took the sky,Piccolo having recovered somewhat had grabbed Kami , the tail hit the look out and it instantly cut it in half .
Minosha was being held by Gohan and was looking lost , just looking at the beast whole again made him shake in utter terror but the young knight was not about to give up ,he began playing his haunting song and instantly the beast was frozen in place,Hoi however was not, he extended both of his hands and instantly the entire group was frozen in place.
Before he could make another move a certain pissed of super saiyan had arrived,Vegeta had slammed into the ground beneath Korin's tower his half armor was missing but he had only slight bruises, the prince had been caught off guard a mistake he wouldn't repeat.
Already powered up to his max he launched at Hoi but instead of one Hoi was faced with four look alikes of the prince.
"That pathetic mortal move will not work Vegeta! " Said Hoi as he made a swipe at all the copies at once eyes wide upon seeing that none was the real Vegeta,the prince had changed his position at the last second and had confused the demon , appearing behind him he kicked him in the back of his neck as Hoi rocketed to one of the two floating parts of the sanctum.
"I Think it works just fine." Laughed the prince,Hoi came out of the broken floor looking absolutely livid ,he threw his hand out and a black mist struck the prince.
Vegeta was no longer in the lookout he was on Frieza's ship,on the fatefull day the tyrant annihilated his race,Vegeta saw events he had only heard of. His proud father lashing out at Frieza and paying with his life,Kakarot's father bodly standing against the tyrant and being reduced to dust along with the entire saiyan race and for the first time Vegeta saw his beatiful home being eradicated he could hear every single scream of pain he could hear his mother and his younger brother he could see them all burn alive under Friezas power as the laughter was mixed with the cries of anguish and terror.
For the king of the demon realm making a mortal experience madness was as easy as it was for humans to breathe.
"Now that he is out of the way..." Said Hoi and attacked without finishing stunning all of earth's champions with one hand.
All but Minosha who's holy sword had created a sparkling barrier around him.
He then looked at the group as they began powering up trying to break free, yet they couldn't even move their jaws.
{I will get to the boy after i'm done with them...}
"I See that you wont give up..."Said Hoi annoyed as he drew his right arm back in an attacking position.
"Perhaps the delusion of having the dragonballs is what keeps your willpower running..."
He smirked with malice "Lets change that shall we?!" He yelled as he materialized a spear and threw it at the guardian of earth who under his spell could only watch in shock.
-CRACK!-
He had been the caretaker of the guardians,time alone could not kill him, he had stayed with Kami longer than any other ally and had been taking care of him longer than the other guardians.
Mister Popo had gotten in the way of the spear not pausing for a second to think, he acted on pure instinct and his carpet had allowed him to make it just in time.
Kami couldn't even talk from being stunned, he could only watch as tears came running out from his eyes.
{Popo...no..no...}
Popo turned to look at his master and friend a smile on his face.
"I Made it...Mister Popo is happy..." He said as he coughed , yet no blood came out, for he was not a mortal.
Popo's carpet turned to ash under him as his body hit the ground with a thud,after thousands of years the immortal Genie had been killed by the lord of the demons himself.
"Hah!...Pointless." Exclaimed Hoi as he readied another spear for Kami.
?:"Ultra large spirit ball!" came an uknown voice.
Hoi turned as a gigantic ball of yellow energy came at him , the ball was half the size of the lookout,having been caught of guard the ball reached him and took him with it as it rocketed towards Hirudegarn,the monster was still paralysied since Minosha had not stopped playing for even a second, thinking Hirudegarn the bigger threat.
The attack took the monster with it as it kept going away from the lookout.
Everyone was instantly free of the demonic grasp as they looked at their saviour,Yamcha had his hand still extended clothed in a red blazing aura that everyone recognised as the kaioken.
With a yell he brought his arm down and in the distance the ball followed the gesture and slammed at the earth shaking the very planet with a thunderous explosion.
He fell down tired gasping for air,the kaioken was a very dangerous move and Yamcha had taken it to his own maximum... Ten times his base strength.
Tien an Krillin run over to Yamcha and helped him to his feet.
"Good call man...You saved us. " Said Tien as he looked over to his floating unharmed companion.
"Yeah bro we owe ya one..." Said Krillin smilling.
"I Am just glad i came out when i did...He got the door you guys..The time chamber is no more..."
Vegeta and Gohan were trying to help Kami, the guardian of earth was stuck on Popo's unmoving body and looked like he was consumed by madness, eyes wide he kept on looking his mouth hanging open.
"Get a hold of yourself old fool! " Boomed Piccolo "This has just began! He died to give us a chance! Snap out of it right now and get back in line! " he screamed at the old man.
Kami slowly got up as everyone gathered the spiky haired prince stormed over to the small Minosha,everyone got ready for one of Vegeta's rage outbreaks.
"Okay brat start talking how do we kill that thing?"
The young boy looked at him, his face showing no sign of being intimidated "You can't...Thats why we sealed him..."
Vegeta snarled in anger "Thats impossible there is nothing in this world or the other that is inbeatable. " said Vegeta more like a statement.
"When he caught us you were unnafected...why were you immune to his magic? " Asked Kami trying to sort this out.
"My sword like my musical instrument is forged with ancient magic by one of our oldest priests." said the boy that was much wiser and older than his appearance let on.
No one said a word as they looked at the ground dissapointed, the odds had become even more impossible for them to beat and it had become to wear them down mentaly.
There were however two people in the group that had been taught to never give up,one was the son of earths greatest hero , having hope was the most important thing his father had taught him, the other was the battle hardened saiyan prince.
"There is always a way..." mumbled the young saiyan just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"One thing that i learned from my father was to never give up even when the odds are stuck against you."
Vegeta and piccolo smilled at that but as one eyed the other they turned their head to their opposite direction clearly embarrased.
"Gohan is right." Finally said Vegeta "There must be a way to get rid of that thing!"
"There is one..." Confessed Minosha sadly as everyone looked hopefull once again.
They were all interrupted by a spike in their heads.
Hundreds of people were dying and everyone sensed it , but their life force wasn't instantly vanished more like slowly decreasing, confusion had began to appear on everyone's faces as Kami screamed in terror and disgust.
"It!...Its consuming them! "
"WHAT?!" Yellled Piccolo shocked.
"He is draining their life force slowly and steadily..." He said as he used his godly vision to look at the earth below, instantly he began shaking again.
"No...no..no..no.."
"Well what is it? " asked Vegeta annoyed once again.
"The androids are on their way to Hoi! "
Everyone but Minosha froze at that.
"We are going! NOW! " Yelled Vegeta reverting out of his form to conserve energy but igniting his normal state's aura along with everyone but Kami.
Vegeta hadn't even asked, he had grabbed Minosha and everyone had been commanded to follow him , in this paticular situation no one dissagreed.
They all stopped at Korins tower to get some senzu beans and blasted off towards the location of the demon's ki signature.
In the way Minosha told them all that he could about his backround,how he and his brother had saved their planet from Hirudegarn and had been carrying that burden for an eternity,how the demonic sword and ocarinas had been found and had been enhanced with holy magic.
"There is something i don't understand." said the prince as he was flying in front of everyone else, giving them his back.
"Why didn't you kill the demon with that blade of yours all those years ago?"
"Hirudegarn can only be killed within a mortals body." said Minosha without missing a beat.
"And how can we accomplish that? " asked the halfie.
"By imprisoning him with the ocarina..." he finished sadly.
"You mean that someone has to sacrifise hismelf for it to work?" asked Piccolo.
"Excactly..." Finally said the boy.
They all said nothing as they kept flying in silence, deep in thought.
In Orange city/Hecule City cries of terror were echoing throughout the streets , Hoi was using his telekinisis to deliver the humans to Hirudegarn as the monster was then draining their very soul sending them straight to hell.
"Hahahaha! Yes! Slaughter them all! " screamed the imp in pure joy.
Growing the monster kept doing just that.
Building came down people were either squashed or drained and utter chaos was on every part of the almost destroyed city.
Vegeta used his telepathy to contact Kami in order to learn of the androids excact location for they had no energy they could track.
Kami pointed to the location and they were almost on the outskirt of the city.
Vegeta took a deep breath his mind racing and spoke up.
"We have to split up,we can't afford to fight all of them or we are just as good as dead."
No one said anything and so Vegeta continued.
"Me the namek and the child will handle Hoi and his beast , the five of you will have to hold the androids off for as long as you can."
Instantly Piccolo lashed out.
"Absolutely not! They cant handle them they-"
Vegeta raised his hand making Piccolo stop talking immidiately knowing the prince wasn't finished.
"Hoi is strong but he can be beat, his monster however is on a whole different level , i dare say many times the androids power combined, think about the whole planet namekian and not only your close ones." he said with annoyance at Piccolo's lack of foresight.
They all nodded and got ready to engage their opponents respectively,as they blasted off Picollo looked at Gohan sending him a message with his mind.
{If things get ugly,you all get out of there.} For the first time the determined boy did not reply.
"You are an idiot bro,sorry but it's a fucking fact!"
"Cut it out already 18!"
The twin cyborgs were having a heated debate over 17's latest plans.
"Why do we even care that some -thing- is devouring shit?"
"Cause this thing destroys our playground and if this keep happenin i wont be able to fullfil my dream."
"And that is?" Asked his confused sister.
"To become a park ranger." He said smirking.
Suddenly a boot came crashing on 17 throwing him down through a pair of huge hills and finally ending up in a nearby lake.
18 turned around to see their attacker and barely dodged a small golden ray , the attack only produced a small cut on her left chick.
Tien was still bathed in his kaioken aura and Chiatzu's hand was still extended.
Nearby Yamcha Krillin and Gohan were still hiding behind some rocks with their powerlevel masked, waiting for the right moment to interfere.
17 came out of the water,his clothes were not meant for combat and so he had lost his shirt and only a burned piece of his scarf remaned, a result from Tien's sneak attack.
"You are going to regret this Three-eyes!" said the immortal teenager smilling madly.
18 began laughing pointing at her brother "Oh god hahahaha he kicked your shit!"
Tien tightened his fists as sparks began forming around him, he greet his teeth and the air around him turned thick and deadly , two small bumps appeared on his back as he kept shaking with power.
"Shiyoken!" Yelled the three-eyed crane warrior as two new hands spourted out from his back.
The twins kept looking at the triclops confused as he tightened his four arms and once again greet his teeth then with an odd popping sound they were encoutered by two three eyed assasins one identical to the other.
"Well bald man that's cool and all but what difference is it gonna make alone?"
The two Tiens smilled at seventeen and yelled in unison :"None!"
The male android looked at the triclops utter confusion on his face, suddenly he heard a booming sound from below and as he looked down he saw a massive Kamehameha wave meters away.
"Fuck!" He yelled as he extended both his hands out of instict trying to halt the beam and even tho it shaked him up he stopped it but the beam wasn't released, whoever was attacking kept pouring energy into the blast.
"You are all idiots!" Yelled the amused android,the answer once again came from below in two different voices.
Yamcha&Krillin:"Kaioken times five!"
The beam was suddenly fueled with much more power as it kept growing in size, it had become at least ten times larger ,17 was slowly pushed back but the beam was still stopped from his open palms.
"Are you done?" he yelled starting to become annoyed.
Gohan appeared right at his face, both hands on his forehead as golden energy was held between them begging to be released.
"NOPE!" Exclaimed the half saiyan as he unleashed his fully charged masenko right at his face, the suprise attack caused seventeen to lose his grip on the kamehameha which slammed into him and carried him many miles to the sky where it detonated.
Nearby 18 was fighting both of Tien's copies both in their ten times kaioken as Chiatzu was trying to either paralyze or blast her.
Having no time to power up, all the blonde woman could do was dodge the copies moves , while she had no trouble doing so she couldn't attack due to having to dodge the small white dolls' attacks as well.
The others new that they had to act before seventeen recovered and with a united yell they all charged at the woman ,Yamcha was first and he was in his wolf stance ready to initiate what was probably his oldest move.
As they closed in they all began throwing kicks,punches or jabs each one in his fighting style while Yamcha was using a non-stop barrage of his wolf fang fist.
Against all of them 18 could do nothing and tho she tried she was thrown around like a rag doll wishing for her brother to come to her aid.
Being the weakest in hand to hand combat, Chiatzu was watching everyone's back in case the black haired abomination returned.
Hoi was watching his servant devour humans without pause, enjoying every moment of the feast, as he watched he suddenly heard the all too fammiliar song of the ocarina begin to be played and saw his monster frozing in it's tracks but as he turned around to find the source he saw a blue shimmering light right in front of him.
"BIG BANG ATTACK!" Screamed the prince of the saiyans as he unleased his signature attack on the imp , having no time to act Hoi was caught and swallowed by the blast which exploded immidiately clouding the whole area.
From within the smoke a huge green object came at athe towering demon beast ,the fist of the lost son of Namek.
Piccolo was using his gigantic form deeming it to be very useful in this particular fight and with his foe stuck he procceded to kick the shit out of him.
Dozens of punches came raining down at Hirudegarn but the beast could only growl in frustration as he was being pummeled repeatedly.
Nearby the smoke cleared and Hoi came out of it, half his torso had been vaporised by the blast and his right hand along with it, smoke still coming out yet he was still very much alive.
Vegeta looked at the demonical abomination gauging the situation,Hoi shouldn't be floating right now, he should be bleeding to death yet the demon seemed fine...minus the missing parts.
"Tell me Vegeta." said Hoi casually as his missing parts popped back in place.
"Did you come here hoping to defeat me?" He finished smilling sadistically, looking at the golden warrior.
Vegeta smilled back and tightened his fists: "No...I came to pulverize you until there's nothing left." And with that he charged at Hoi with all his might and drove his fit right at his of hitting him however a hole appeared in the demons stomach resulting in the punch passing through harmlessly.
Without missing a beat, the saiyan warrior pushed energy into his palm producing a golden sword of pure ki , he slashed upwards cutting Hois upper part in half and without giving the demon time he brought his left arm in front of him and started blasting him towards the ground.
Piccolo went to grab the demons neck but the beast became pure smoke and escaped the namekians grasp , as he turned he saw the head of Hirudegarn take shape and its mouth charging an attack, without flinching the son of Katas opened his mouth and fired his own beam.
Energy met fire but the struggle didn't last, while hirudegarn was dozens of times stronger than the green warrior, it couldn't control it's energy due to the paralyzes produced by the magic bindings of the ocarina.
Vegeta was fighting Hoi with all his might but everytime he managed to do significant damage the demons magic would put him back together, slowly tiring the saiyan.
He rokeceted towards the demon and their fists collided once again blowing the ground clean of as a crater was formed .
Inside they were locked in fierce combat, Vegeta punched Hoi square on the jaw breaking it ,he threw his left punch aiming for the demons face again but Hoi grabbed his wrist as his jaw went back into place,this time Hoi punched Vegeta but his fist met a gloved palm and stopped abruptly.
The prince closed his fingers keeping the demon at bay and smilled at him.
"Give up Vegeta, you have no chance!" Said the demon with gritt teeth trying to break free and hold the saiyan at the same time,on the other side Vegeta was doing the ecxact same thing but the two were completely even.
"Hrhrh ,i heard that before imp,not gonna happen." said the saiyan trying to get the upper hand.
Hoi used his magic again catching glimpses of the saiyan's past using the power of the demon lord who kept aiding him.
"Poor Vegeta trying so hard to take that idiot Goku's place!" exclaimed the demon hoping to enrage Vegeta and bait him to lose concentration.
Vegeta's eyes widened but immidiately narrowed dangerously at Hoi, who uppon seeing the look on the saiyan's face felt fear overcome him.
"Did you say GOKU?! HOW DARE YOU MENTION THAT NAME TO THE PRINCE OF SAIYANS!" Yelled the prince as his aura grew three times anger pushed his body and he began to unwilllingly push his genki and mixing it with his ki.
As the saiyan's living energy began fueling his overall battle power his aura began to dance around like the flame of a candle and he broke his trapped hand free grabbing Hoi's arms and began to knee him to the stomach repeatedly with all his might , he was using so much strength that his fingers had digged into the alien's flesh.
"I AM VEGETA THE LAST PRINCE OF SAIYANS!" He said while keeping his attack steady as Hoi tried to keep himself from throwing up.
"AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU SPEAKING ABOUT A DISEASED PROUD SAIYAN WARRIOR IN THIS MANNER!" He yelled as he released Hoi's wrists and grabbed his throat with both his hands Hoi immidiately grabbed Vegetas forearms trying to break free but the saiyan was immovable.
"This..." Whispered Vegeta straining under the ki he began gathering "Is a gift from Kakarot."
A Golden outline of energy became visible over Vegeta as his trained body became even more muscular than before ,the prince was using the same combination of skills that a certain old man had used decades ago to blow up the flames of fire mountain, the same man who had trained him and his long lost rival.
"KAAA...MEEEE...HAAA...MEEE!" chanted the saiyan as blue light appeared hidden within his palms and Hoi's neck. The demon widened his eyes kicking like a trapped rat trying desperately to escape.
"HAAAA!" Yelled the spiky haired warrior as he unleashed the beam which swallowed Hoi immidiately,yet Vegeta didn't let go of the blast, he kept pushing and guiding the beam towards the demons beast of a servant.
"NAMEK MOVE!" Yelled Vegeta trying to warn his allie , Piccolo jumped back and unleashed a mighty bolt of electric energy from his antenna's which paralyzed Hirudegarn and allowed the blast to hit its mark, both demons began to take the full force of the beam but Vegeta kept fuelling it, eager to end this fight there and now.
"MAKOSEN..HA!" yelled the gigantic namek trying to boost Vegeta's attack as both beams fused together blasting the demons apart and carrying on towards the horizon.
Vegeta let the end of the beam go and as it left him so did his super saiyan form and his buffed muscles, reverting him to his normal form and siluette, he ated his last senzu and fell down face first.
Piccolo reverted to his normal size and ate his own bean as his wathced the sky checking for any movement or ki signature, while he nodded at Minosha who had only now stopped playing his ocarina.
Hell...all Hell had broken loose the moment 17 returned, the warriors of Earth fought with everything they had but they were almost out of senzu beans and they were getting desperate.
Gohan was mad at himself, he couldn't use the kaioken like the others, even tho he had tried learning it and he was still no super saiyan, as he got up holding his broken arm he watched the others fighting the monsters save for Chiatzu who was behind him unconcious after a short bout with 18.
Wordlessly the son of Goku drew his right arm back and began charging his father's favourite skill.
The copy of Tien was fighting 18 with Krillin while the real one was locked on a fierce combat with her brother but it had become apparent that the cyborgs were only playing with the defenders just enjoying the excuse of a challenege.
17 suddenly smilled as he punched Tien in the stomach doubling him over ,Yamcha charged the android, powered up to his maximum kaioken and began throwing a barrage of attacks at the younger immortal fighter,using only his right hand he matched every single blow and as the ex-bandit stopped and reverted tired and out of breath he pointed his palm towards him.
"Bye." he said casually and unleashed a photon flash from point black range , Yamcha had died before even realising it.
"Yamcha!" Yelled Krillin and Tien in unison as they both charged at 17 but didn't get far as 18 came in front of them and with a swift swipe of her arm beheaded the copy of Tien,the real Triclops felt no pain but all the precious ki sustaining his copy had faded.
He grabbed the last senzu and ate it hastily as he turned at 18 and grabbed her head with his extra pair of hands while putting his original ones on his head.
"Solar flaire!" Yelled the triclops as he unleashed a blinding light directly at 18 face causing her extreme pain.
17 extended his hand and as he got ready to unleash a finger beam on the unsuspecting triclops he was engulfed by a blue ocean of ki, below trembling from the exhaustion Gohan's hand was still extended tears rolling down his eyes from losing one of his friends.
The teen looked at the boy a frown on his face as he prepared a jab and charged at Gohan ready to pierce his heart.
"Time to join your pops kid!"
-CRACK-
Gohan had closed his eyes expecting the end but as he opened them a whole different level of pain struck him.
The man who had been like a brother to him,his father's best friend had gotten in the way and now a huge hole was on his torso as blood poured out.
"No no, not Krillin."
An aura appeared around the boy but it vanished as quickly as it came , his beaten body couldn't suply any of his usual boosts,all he could do was stand there and sob uncontrollably.
" 'drather *cough* die than let ya down kid." he gritt his teeth as he turned around and smilled at Gohan with all the kindness of a parent but then, the last of his genki leaving him Krillin's eyes rolled back and he fell down lifeless.
Gohan knelled down all the willpower he had leaving him ,in front of him the taller cyborg drew his hand back ready to send Gohan to otherwold at once.
"SHIN!KAIOKEN! TIMEs TEEEN!" Tien appeared in front of the android and planted his knee into his chick with power his body wasn't supposed to possess.
The surprised cyborg rocketed towards the air but froze abruptly and realised he couldn't move ,moving his head with great effort he saw the whole reason,bathed in a faint weak red aura Chiatzu had immobilized him and his sister using some sort of green energy.
His data told him that the move was called the Evil contaiment wave and had the ability to imprison anyone it was used on.
While all this was true, the power difference between Chiatzu and the cyborgs was so vast that all he could do was sustain them for a little while.
The kaioken around Tien had become orange a result of mixing the move with his own life force.
"Gohan get away from here... "He said giving his back to the young man.
"You have to live on and bring peace back to the world kid...You are the only one who can."
Without another word Tien blasted of towards the captured monstocities ,Gohan began crying again as he swalloed his last senzu bean and blasted off , normally he would have tried to protest but he had realised what the two warriors were doing, the moves they were using in unison meant certain death,like all these years ago on Namek the half saiyan flew away without looking back.
Chiatzu died after seconds from a combined eye beam from the cyborgs and as they turned to the triclops he began to hit them repeatedly with his Shin tri-beam, though their impenetrable shields guarded them the force of the Kikoho carried them to the other side of the globe and thus in one great battle the students of the greatest martial arts teachers on Earth died a warriors death...
When Gohan arrived he gaped at what he was seeing, Vegeta and Hoi had grabbed eachothers hands and where trying to break each others defences as their knees collided with shattering force repeatedly.
What had caused his shock however was Hirudegarn who had grabbed Kami with his tail and was draining his ki,upon taking another look though the boy realised that the one being drained was his mentor.
Hirudegarn had drained so much energy out of Piccolo, that it had caused the warrior to age hundreds of years in the spun of seconds.
He fired his masenko without thinking and it burned the beasts tail of but before the piece had touched the ground another one had spurted out ,he also noticed that the beast had changed,his skull shaped head had spouted horns and had changed to mach the rest of his body it had also a new pair of bug like wings.
Angry the beast threw its sharp tail at the boy ready to end his life then and there but to Gohan's horror Piccolo had saved him in the same manner Krillin had just minutes ago.
"Gack! R..Rungh." barely whispered the now old man as he drew his last breath in front of the boy he loved as a son.
Gohan stood there as he suddenly grabbed his head an pulled at his hair yelling with all his might.
Images , moments of his adventures along the peacfull years of his small life with all his friends and all the moments they had stepped up to saved him came flooding in his mind,sadly all he had done was fail them every single time, but no more.
Gohan began yelling to the heavens as he tightened his fists so hard he drew blood.
Behind him his furry turned shape, his saiyan heritage along with his hidden power rising to the surface in the form of a raging Oozaru.
As his pupils became white givin him a fierce look, the half alien screamed to the heavens, the roar of the great ape being heard along his scream of rigteous fury and with an explosion of power a fammiliar golden glow enevelopd him.
The son of Son Goku had become a super saiyan.
Gohan looked at the beast his eyes were still white he was lost in his maddening rage.
"Piccolo..." he whispered as he began shaking.
"PICCOLOOOO!" he yelled as he rocketed towards the demon like a rocket.
Using his ki like he did on his bastard of an uncle years ago, he charged his entire body with energy and the outline of the special beam cannon appeared around him as he threw hismelf at Hirudegarn trying to impale him , the beast had tightened its fists trying to harden its muscles but slowly the beam was driiling its stomach.
Vegeta managaed to blast Hoi away and had went towards the fallen Minosha, Hoi had taken the boy's life.
The kid had tried sealing the demon inside his body using his ocarina, Hoi however had destroyed it along with the child and its last words still haunted the saiyan royalty.
"THE BLADE CHOOSES ITS WIELDER VEGETA , TO CARRY IT IS TO LET GO OF SELFLESSNESS ...AND PRIDE."
For Vegeta this meant doing something worse than dying, yet in his desperation he had no other choice , they had all been told about the instruments the boy carried ,items made of dark magic and enhanced with holy power , they could either aid someone or corrupt them from within.
Vegeta closed his eyes trying to calm himself and grabbed the weapon with his right hand, instantly he felt a weight overcome him,he had trained under gravity that would have squashed even Frieza like a bug, yet try as he might he couldn't move ,suddenly dark thoughts entered his mind he heard voices in his head voices he didnt know .
One offered him power byond imagination, the strength to destroy the andoids with a simple wave of his hand ,the other offered him the position he had mocked Kakarot to have..that of a saviour.
Inside his mind two figures appeared ,the voices changing as they took shape , one belonged to the man he had always saw as his idol his father a true saiyan warrior the other belonged to the monster who had robbed him of everything.
King Vegeta smilled but it was not the pridefull smille he had always given the prince no it was the smille he gave his opponents before destroying them , and there not even a meter away was the last emperor of space looking sadly and frowning upon Vegeta,who was kneeling from the extreme gravity.
"Rise my son, claim the power of your weapon and together we shall rule over all of existance." said his father his smirk never living his face.
"Do this and you shall become the king of all that ever was! " He said.
Frieza looked disgusted at the choice King Vegeta gave his son and turned to adress the prince.
"You are better than this Vegeta,you have learned to value the life of those weaker than you but to carry the weapon's true power you must be ready to defend it!"
Vegeta was conflicted ,he was no fool, his father offered him what he had desired for longer than half his life while his most hated enemy offered him a position that would make him be nothing more than Kakarot was.
He was conflicted , he wanted to save this world , he could accept that but more than anything he wanted to see his wife the woman who had changed him smille again.
On the outside he was still petrified in his kneeling position his body having reverted against his will.
"Tell me father what do i have to give in return?"
The king smilled at him and told him only one single word.
"Everything!"
He knew what he meant, to become like he used to be a warrior driven by his strength alone uninhibited by any emotion.
Vegeta looked at the ground in shame as he spoke up.
"I Want to save this world...And give my mate the peace she deserves."
He finally admitted.
His father greet his teeth and slowly faded as Frieza smilled warmly unnsetling the prince.
The trial had passed and Vegeta was deemed worthy, before him now stood someone who had spared his life, humiliated him but in truth had saved him.
His rival smilled at Vegeta and extended his hand to help him stand.
He knew that accepting his rival's help was the last one act of redemption, pride rose dark and heavy as Vegeta considered to actually slap the arm away focusing on his wife however he grabbed it.
The image of Goku smilled at the prince with that idiotic grin Vegeta despised and exclaimed.
"Rise Vegeta! and claim your destiny!"
He opened his eyes and he was still on earth , the blade of his sword emmited a strange light and for the first time in a long time Vegeta felt at peace he felt complete , his fatigue had vanished and as he turned he saw Gohan, now a super saiyan blasting Hirudegarn with everything he had.
He wasted no time as he powered up into his super saiyan glory the weapon fueling his power to new heights.
Vegeta felt a weird sensation on his lower half and suddenly found the reason why,the mark of his heritage had regrew and was bathed in the golden light of his race's legend.
Smilling Vegeta charged at the beast just as Gohan was thrown to the ground with extreme force and reverted, his power having diminished to almost nothing . Seeing the beast's tail lashing out towards the boy Vegeta back flipped middle flight and positioned himself between the boy and the beast.
Gohan tried to stand fear overcoming him as he saw Vegeta ready to join Krillin and Piccolo, yet nothing like that happened.
Against the raised blade that Vegeta was holding the tip of the tail touched the weapon and was slashed in half as the beast roared in agony.
Vegeta looked and saw Hoi on the top of Hirudegarn's head , the necromancer had apparently merged with the beast and was readying some sort of attack.
"AAPOCALYPSEE!" Yelled Hoi his voice having changed completely as the demon lord inside him unleashed his full power on the two saiyans.
The attack closed the distance in less than a second as Vegeta attacked it with his blade causing a massive explosion of dark and holy ki to erupt , the wind pushed Gohan away as he kept screaming the prince's name fearing for his ally more than himself.
The dust settled and Hoi looked at Vegeta who was bruised and bloodied but still very much alive , the weapon had once again saved his life.
The lord of the saiyans noticed that this time the beast's tail had not grown back and realised that by fusing with Hoi,Hirudegarn had become even more poweerful but was also vulnerable.
"I ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO STAND UP AFTER THAT!" boomed the lord of the dark realm.
Vegeta raised his weapon with both hands as he began pouring all of his ki into it, a small ball of blue energy pulshing at the tip sparks dancing around the entire sword , he brought the weapon down aiming at Hoi and with a smirk he boomed: "AND I ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO DIE! FINAL SHINE ATTAAACK!"
Light blue energy unleashed from the weapon and came pouring down at the demon,Hoi raised a thick barrier of pure purple energy around him and his slave.
As Vegeta's attack reached them the barrier was shattered like glass and engulfed master and beast as they too began fading in the light, the chosen warrior kept his attack going as he watched and felt the demons disigengrate under his power.
With a final yell the prince let go of the attack and fell down exhausted gasping for air.
Hoi and Hirudegarn were no more but as he smilled a fammiliar voice entered his mind.
{Enjoy your short victory prince,we shall meet again.} said the voice of Dabura in his head.
{I Will be waiting.} said the prince back and with his sword over his shoulder began walking towards the small Gohan, they would save this world, they had to!
