Aiko: Saiyan Princess (Part 2)

Chapter 12: The Dark Royals Return

I don't own Dragon Ball Z

A/N: not adding much detail to Gohan vs Dabura, just slightly enough. :D Enjoy!


Super Saiyan Gohan stared down the Demon King as the real battle prepared. Dabura growled and he glared at him. Vegeta crossed his arms.

"Finally, now we'll get to see a real test, let's see how this Dabura fellow does against a Super Saiyan." Vegeta said.

Aiko smirked and placed her hands on her hips. Goku smirked as well.

"Yeah, it always makes things more interesting that's for sure." Goku said.

The battle commenced with Gohan quickly punching Dabura in his stomach. It instantly caused him to spit out saliva. Gohan punched him in the face sending him to the sky, then he appeared behind Dabura knocking him to the ground. Gohan landed beside the crater he had knocked Dabura in then created a blast in his hands. Once finished, he sent into the crater. But when Dabura appeared behind Gohan it proved he didn't hit him. He attempted to punch the halfbreed Super Saiyan but Gohan caught his fist. He got punched by Dabura but it inflicted no damage at all.

Gohan landed on top of a mountain and powered up, "c'mon Dabura, show your true power, you can win at this rate."

The Supreme Kai was watching in shock. "Amazing."

Goku smirked, "hm, you haven't seen anything yet."

Vegeta glanced over at them and rolled his eyes. Everyone's attention was back at the fight.

"Well what about it Dabura?" Gohan said.

Dabura chuckled inwardly," you want a glimpse of my true power? Well so be it, I didn't know you were in such a hurry to die."

Dabura growled out a scream as he powered up. Green electricity surrounded his body as his power increased and the mountain he was standing on began to crack. As their battle raised on Gohan held his own against Dabura more or less. But the Demon King was definitely proving to be a challenge. He ended up firing a blast at Gohan thus making him fall into the water.

Dabura stood on the edge of a rock with the ocean in front of him. He has his arms crossed and a serious face as he awaited for Gohan to pop out of the water. He shifted his yellow snake-like eyes from side to side when Gohan didn't pop out. Two energy blast emerged quickly from the water. When they flew towards Dabura he kicked them away into other mountains. Gohan popped out of the water then ran into Dabura's incoming blast.

"Gohan!" Goku gasped.

Aiko placed her hand on his arm and nodded at him re-assuring Gohan would be okay. He placed his hands over hers for and looked back.

The blast didn't do much damage, it just tore Gohan clothing a bit.

He smirked, "is that all the power your transformation yields?"

Gohan moved his arms, which were crossed over his face, down and glared at the Demon King.

From a distance Aiko, Goku, The Supreme Kai and Vegeta watched.

"Dabura's far stronger then Yakon and Pui Pui." Supreme Kai said.

Vegeta grit his teeth in anger.

"That's okay, so is Gohan." Goku assured.

When they looked back Gohan had torn off the green gi top leaning him in black spandex.

"Alright then, round two, let's do it! Whenever you're ready big guy!" Gohan yelled.

A smile crossed Dabura's features_, he fazed out of sight and himself and Gohan began to fight rapidly. The fazed in and out of sight reappearing on different locations of the secluded area they were on.

Goku kept shifting his eyes trying to keep a good watch on the fight_ "what does Gohan think he's doing? A direct attack won't work on this guy. He should know better then that."

Vegeta glared back at Goku and Aiko.

"This is what happens when you don't train for seven years, he's completely lost his fighting sense." He looked over only at Aiko, "Pitiful."

She rolled her eyes and looked back.

"Dammit this is my fault." She mumbled.

Dabura landed on the rocks in front of the water and Gohan floated up above the water.

Gohan smirked, "not bad."

Dabura lightly chuckled. "C'mon, if you dare."

He turned his back and gestured his hand to move forwards. When Gohan rushed at him Dabura attempted to spit on him. Remember if he spits on you, you turn to stone.

"Gohan! Don't let it hit you!" The Supreme Kai warned.

The spit his Gohan's glove and it began to harden into stone. He gasped and took it off before it spread throughout his body.

Gohan smiled, "talk about your lucky break." He chuckled.

Dabura rushed at him and as of now they were just throwing punches at each other. Dabura landed a punch in Gohan's face then they gave each other some distance.

"I can feel your power decreasing, it's only a matter of time before you make a mistake." Dabura said.

"What if you make one first?" Gohan said.

Dabura chuckled, "I wouldn't count on it."

Goku placed his hands on his hips, "hm, this Dabura guy is giving Gohan a lot more trouble then I thought he would."

Vegeta rolled his eyes, "he's tough but not unbeatable, Gohan's gotten soft! He was a lot stronger when he was a little kid. It's absurd!"

Goku placed his hand on his forehead, "yeah, he's definitely slacked off, but at least he got straight A's on his report card."

Aiko rolled her eyes, "will you all shut up."

He grunted, "I could beat Dabura."

Dabura glanced back at them since he most likely heard what they said.

"MISTAKE NUMBER ONE!" Yelled Gohan and punched him hard in the face.

He growled and made a blade appear in his hands. He rushed Bach at Gohan.

"Test my blade!" He yelled.

Gohan's eyes widened then he ducked out of the way when Dabura brought the sword down. He only cut three strands of his head. Gohan chuckled at Dabura's shocked face. He rushed at Gohan with the blade still in his hand. He tried and tried again to slice Gohans body in half but he dodged each in coming swing.

Aiko knew Gohan hadn't trained much but he still shouldn't have been struggling this much. She crossed her arms over her chest and began to lightly tap her finger against her arm.

Dabura has sliced up various mountains but he hadn't touched Gohan once. When he brought the blade back down Gohan placed his hands on each flat side trying his best not to get sliced in half. Gohan growled and powered up, when he managed to break the blade in half Dabura growled angrily.

"I can't take this anymore this is ridiculous! Why are we subjecting ourselves to this? Look, call him down Kakarot I'll finish this." Vegeta said.

Aiko glared at him, "I hope he spits on you."

"Just give him a little more time, it's not like he's completely lost yet. Why not let him fight he's hanging in their." Goku said.

"Ugh, just let him. As soon as Vegeta's turned into a stone we won't have to deal with him anymore." Aiko said in her mind.

He glared at her but didn't comment, "Dabura's toying with him you know that c'mon!" Vegeta yelled. "Why should I sit around all day acting like this matters! I could end this in five minutes if I wanted too."

Aiko smirked and crossed her arms over her chest, "ha, I'll bet I could finish him in three."

He glared over at her, "unlike you I'm not here to play games! The strongest one is the one who should do the job, I'm the one who should be fighting not him."

Aiko narrowed her eyes and walked into his face.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

He grasped her arm and glared at her.

"I know I am the strongest, and I think I'm the Prince, am I wrong?!"

She clenched her fist in anger. She didn't care that he claimed to be the strongest. She knew that was most likely true, but she just hated the fact he acted so pampered about it. As she was going to yell back they were back on the ship.

"What?!" She yelled.

"What are we doing here!?" Vegeta said.

"I don't know, I guess they wanted us back on the ship for some reason." Goku said.

"But why?" The Supreme Kai asked.

Dabura landed on the ground and walked into the door he emerged from before.

"Hey where do you think you're going?! Are you giving up or not?!" Gohan yelled.

"Hold on, it's just a brief intermission," he looked at the Saiyan Royals with a smirk, "we just need a few minutes to rework our strategy. It seems we found some new recruits, one is a perfect warrior, capable of handling all of you, the other is a ticking time bomb, ready to explode their inner rage at any second. These two also appear to have a strong bond, despite not showing it, they'll make the perfect team. Just take a little rest while we bring them up to speed."

He laughed evilly and the door slid shut behind him. Aiko narrows her eyes and looked back at everyone.

"Perfect team..?" She mumbled.

"Well what now," Gohan said.

"I don't know, I don't understand what's going on." Supreme Kai said, "Dabura is Babidis greatest fighter, it doesn't make sense that he would withdraw from the fight. They don't have anyone after him, he's their best."

"He mentioned some new recruits, do you think he was bluffing?" Goku asked.

"I'm not sure, but it seems unlikely that a fighter of that caliber would just drop it into their laps at a time like this." Supreme Kai said.

Gohan fell out of Super Saiyan state, "yeah their definitely up to something, but what?"

Vegeta glared at Gohan, "this whole thing would be over with if it wasn't for you! I hope your proud of yourself!"

"What do you mean?" Gohan asked.

"I mean you disgraced us with your pitiful performance, there's no excuse for you fighting the way you did. You have Saiyan blood running through your veins, a warrior like Dabura should be dead! And now your standing here scratching your head, wondering what's next when it should already be finished! You are pitiful! Fighting with that soft righteous look on your face, it's brute strength that determines the outcome of the battle not goodness. The mightiest survive and the weak parish! You're Piccolo and Krillin were turned to stone! That's because they're weaklings! Is that the kind of fate you want for yourself?! Garden statues! If their lucky someone will make them a bird bath out of them!" He yelled.

Aiko rolled her eyes and stared at the ground angrily.

"Hey look Gohan didn't know that Dabura was gonna run off, I'm sure he would have wanted someone else to fight him if he knew." Goku said.

"Oh yes now there's a pleasant excuse, your as soft as he is Kakarot, and I'm tired of playing around, in gonna put an end to this thing once and for all."

Vegeta began to power up a blast in his hand.

"Vegeta what are you doing?" Goku asked.

"No more weak excuses Kakarot! I'm taking control now and for starters I'm going to blow this ship up!" Vegeta yelled.

"Wait that might do us more harm then good!" Goku yelled.

"Goku's right, if you blow up the ship now you'll most certainly revive Buu. Vegeta listen please, you don't know Buu, his power is horrible he's pure evil, not even the four Kai's combined could stop him. He's murdered millions of innocent people!" Supreme Kai said.

"Shut up!" Vegeta said.

"Don't be a fool if he's revived this planet is finished! History! All living things will be exterminated! He'll turn the earth into a dark lifeless tomb!"

Vegeta growled and then pointed the blast at the Kai.

"Enough! Now you listen to me! What happens to this planet is none of my concern! The strongest will find a way to survive and the weaklings shall parish." Vegeta said.

All of a sudden Aiko fazed out of sight in front of him and grabbed his wrist. "That's enough."

He glared at her, "let go of me now."

"Power down Vegeta." She warned.

"I don't take orders from you little girl."

She lifted up her other hand and created a blast just like he had. They glared at each other as her purple blast became a bit bigger. Goku appeared next to them and broke their grasp from each other grabbing both their arms tightly. Both Aiko and Vegeta glared over at him.

"Hey cut it out this has gone far enough." Goku said.

They both powered down the blast in their hands.

"You better let go of me Kakarot." Vegeta said.

"C'mon let's put what happened behind us and move forwards from here." Goku said.

They ripped their arms away from Goku's grasp.

Aiko glared at Goku harshly. "Never grab me like that again." She hissed and walked off with her back facing everyone.

"Now what I want to know is why they withdrew from the fight." Goku said.

Supreme Kai looked up at him, "yes, it doesn't make sense does it. It was the perfect opportunity. They could have gathered more energy, maybe Dabura wasn't bluffing. Maybe they did find new recruit's."

"It's definitely a possibility, but I don't see how, happening upon someone who could beat us all? What are the chances of that?"

The Supreme Kai looked around the room and his eyes stopped on Aiko and Vegeta. He gasped in realization.

"It's...its...them...t-they're the team..." He stuttered quietly making nobody hear.

Goku looked over at Aiko and walked over to her.

"Are you still mad?" He asked softly.

"What do you think?!" She yelled.

He frowned, "look I'm sorry but-"

She glared at him cutting him off, he gulped and took a step back. All of a sudden her eyes widened making Goku confused and she began to clutch her head in pain.

"Huh, Aiko what's wrong!?"

She began to grunt which quickly turned into screams. When Goku looked over the same thing was happening to Vegeta.

"Aiko, Vegeta what's going on?" Goku yelled.

"Something's attacking me!" Vegeta growled out.

"Where we can't see anything!"

"Inside..." He mumbled.

The Supreme Kai gasped, "oh no! Fight it! Both of you! Fight it! Resist."

Aiko fell to her knees still clutching onto her head, "I can't!" She yelled.

"You must!" The Supreme Kai yelled.

Vegeta kept backing up till he stopped beside Aiko. They both screamed and clutched their heads in pain. The Supreme Kai gasped.

"No Aiko! It's not to late! Fight it!"

Vegeta powered up to a Super Saiyan and balled up his fist trying to resist.

"Supreme Kai what's happening to them?" Goku asked.

"No! You both have changed! Babidi has no control over you!"

"What's Babidi doing?" Asked Gohan. "Trying to kill them?!"

"Worse than that he's trying to take over their minds enslave them so they could do what he wishes them to do!"

"Isn't there anyway we could help them?!" Goku yelled.

"They struggle because their hearts aren't pure, they have to chose themselves."

Goku kneeled down next to Aiko keeping a bit of distance.

"C'mon Aiko don't let him win! You're stronger then he is! You're good!"

She screamed in pain before transforming as well. She shook her head and Goku noticed her eyes began to change. It looked like they were beginning to get a dark outline.

She shut her eyes when she heard Babidis voice. "You belong to us dear, come now."

"N-no...!" She yelled.

She heard his evil laugh and more pain as inflicted on her.

"Come now, I will make you forget, it won't bother you when you lose him again. You won't care... Don't you want that? Join me little one, I could even make you stronger then Vegeta nobody can call you weak anymore, give in, come now..."

Aiko threw her head back and screamed as a red aura surrounded her body.

"AIKO NO!" Goku yelled.

She growled and one of the red electricity bolts surrounding her body hit him. The whole ship began to shake as the two Saiyan royals screamed in pain. They floated up to the ceiling as Babidi took control of their minds.

"What a monstrous power! And is on both of them it's terrible, I can't even approach it!" Goku yelled.

Babidi screamed once more and Aiko was the first to fall to the ground. She hid her face from everyone and growled loudly. Goku approached her slowly.

"Aiko, we're here, it's okay..." He said.

Vegeta landed next to her and growled as well.

"Don't worry were going to help you get back to normal."

Gohan and Goku attempted to approach them but The Supreme Kai stopped them.

"No stop! It's too late..." He said.

"No mom..." Gohan mumbled.

Vegeta pushed himself up and began to chuckle but Aiko didn't move yet. Vegeta laughed and the 'M' was on his forehead just as Spopovich, Yamu, and Dabura had.

"Vegeta..." Goku said.

"Look at his head it has an M on it like Dabura's." Gohan said.

"The 'M' is Babidis insignia, so if Vegeta is one of the new recruits that means Aiko is the other one."

"Are you saying they are against us now?!" Goku asked.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." The Supreme Kai said.

Aiko sat up on her knees but she had grim facial expression. She had the insignia on her forehead and her eyes were darkened out just like Vegeta's. He chuckled again.

"Great what now?" Said Gohan as Babidi performed a new spell.

"It looks like Babidis decided to transport us again." The Supreme Kai said.

The room became dark and a strong wind blew but it didn't affect the two Majin Saiyans. When everything became clear again they appeared at the world tournament ring.

"Hey were back, he sent us to the Martial arts stadium," Gohan said.

The crowd gasped in shock at seeing everyone return.

"Excuse me, the championship has already been concluded, you all look very strong but there's always next year." Mr. Alonsa said.

"Were just here for a little exhibition match." Vegeta said.

Mr. Alonsa smiled when he noticed Goku.

"Goku I didn't see you back there, welcome, I'm afraid you and you're friends are a little too late." Mr. Alonsa informed.

Vegeta growled.

Goku gasped, "look out!"

Vegeta let out a scream as he powered up blowing Mr. Alonsa out of the ring. Gohan caught him but Hercule crashed into a brick wall. Vegeta chuckled. Then Babidi began to speak to them.

"Vegeta, Aiko this is your new Master Babidi speaking, it's time for you to have a little fun, you can start by killing your friends."

"I won't, my goal is to fight Kakarot. The others are nothing." Vegeta said.

"Hm, Aiko will you talk some sense into your brother for me?"

"No." She responded.

Aiko stood up and kept her grim look. When she looked at Goku she could see the anger in his eyes.

"Vegeta, Aiko, how could you?"

Vegeta turned around fully and faced Goku. He smirked and pointed at him.

"It's time Kakarot..." He said then created a blast in his hands.

He fired it at Goku but he crossed his arms over his face blocking it. It made Goku slid across the ring. When he jumped out of the way Vegeta let the blast go even further hitting some of the people watching the tournament. This caused him to kill at least a portion of the people and the blast flew into the city destroying some of it. Gohan, Goku and The Supreme Kai gasped. Goku landed back on the ring and glared at the damage Vegeta made. He was in shock and anger. He turned back to the two Saiyans with he teeth clenched.

"Shame on you, the Vegeta I know would never have done this and the Aiko I love wouldn't have let him do it."

Aiko looked off to the side and Vegeta only smirked at Goku's anger.

Could Goku bring back the Aiko he loves? Or will he be forced to take her down along with Vegeta?
