(A/N): ok…so I got a little side-tracked. But I've found Ari! And my comp isn't being dominated by viruses! WWWWWOOOOOOO! Also there's a few parts I got tired of typing juu or Juunanagou or Juunana so I switched to 17. Don't argue! Just know.

CHAPTER 13

"How do you know where he is?"

Herbert ignored Juu's last comment hoping now they would finally get to the point of this entire mission. Sure he failed the biggest part of the mission, but if this moron actually followed through with capturing this Goku guy there might some method to all this madness. Some.

"Ah. Someone wasn't paying attention."

Juu now had a huge smile on his face. Apparently no one else had quiet picked up the slight error Goku has made giving away his position. Now the task was to reach him before he could change his location.

"Look! I'm not in the mood for your little stunts right now! That last action of yours is officially the last straw. If you don't complete this mission I'll deal with you personally."

Juunana pushed past Herbert quickly moving towards his twin. "I thought tying you up in your space ship would have been the last straw. You should have seen this one coming." As he walked closer to Juuhachi, Juu made sure to keep a lock on the area he had picked up on Goku. If he lost the location now it would be impossible to find him unless another stroke of luck hit. Once he reached his sister, he made sure to keep his voice low as he spoke to her.

"Do me a favor will you?"

Juuhachi kept her attention directed at the fallen fighters not looking towards her brother. "If it has anything to do with you chasing down Goku, I'm not doing it. I'm not getting mixed up in your psychotic schemes again."

"It doesn't. Just make sure everyone clears out of here in about ten minutes. Your safest spot would be the lookout to avoid anyone getting caught in the middle."

Juuhachi quickly faced her brother with a puzzled expression. "In the middle of what? Goku will not fight you. Why do you think he's the only one not here? I assure you it's not for a dramatic entrance."

"I know Goku's hiding in the nearby city. Why he chose to fall back and hide behind the weakling humans I don't understand."

"Well…" Juuhachi took a deep breath knowing her brother wouldn't like the answer. "Everyone thought you may have softened up a little by now. That just maybe you wouldn't attack humans."

"WHAT!"

Herbert held in a laugh and turned around pretending he hadn't heard his "unstoppable leader" wouldn't hurt a human. The other Z fighters stopped what they had been doing and were now watching the scene.

"Who said that! Huh!" Juu was now yearning for a fight with whoever came up with this insane game plan. To boldly come out and call him weak hearted was a death wish. "Which one of you called me weak? I have in no way softened up! I could blow this entire planet up with all of you on it and feel nothing" Juu continued ranting and pointing at every individual naming off ways to torture them.

"And you Bra!" Juunana was pointing and at Bra who was next on his list. "I will burn every last one of those fluffy animals one bye o-

"17!" Tired of watching her brother's sanity slowly slipping away, Juuhachi grabbed his arm lowering it back down. Bra dismissed his threats with a scowl and continued brushing her clothes off. "No one is calling you weak. You are not an android anymore."

"What does that have to do with this?"

"That means you have a conscious stupid." Juuhachi released his arm. Juu was still watching her dumbfounded so she figured it hadn't hit him just yet. "Why do you think it was so hard to hurt Trunks? Why did you help Pan and Bra? It's a sacrifice you must make not being an android anymore."

…still the same dumb look. "YOU CAN'T KILL ANYONE!" Juuhachi made sure to speak slowly but loud enough so her simple brother would eventually catch on. "Your conscious will not allow you to simply kill without remorse or at least make you think twice."

The dumb look was gone but now Juunana was smiling. "You can't. I can."

Juuhachi threw her head back in defeat letting out an irritated sigh. "Either way, sis, I'm not about to abort mission when I'm this close. After all that training I went through, Goku will come out of his hiding place and he will accept my challenge."

"Then push him out if you need to but, Juunanagou, no fighting in the city. One dead bystander and everyone will try to kill you." Juuhachi made sure to stress out the word no knowing there was a high chance that word hadn't made it through the ears of her headstrong twin.

"Then I guess Goku better not say no." With a smirk plastered on his face Juu turned and ran toward the edge preparing to take off.

"17!" Juuhachi tried to race Juunana to the edge. He had defiantly been working on his speed because he was well into the air speeding off before she could get close to him leaving her fanning the dust and dirt kicked up after his takeoff. All she could do was release a heavy sign and cross her arms. Juuhachi returned to the group unable to remove the growing smile on her face. "He might finally do it. This is going to be interesting"

"You are all going to seriously let him go after the target?" Herbert finally spoke up after Juunanagou was gone. He was in complete disbelief that no one had even attempted to stop him. Arms folded he spoke to the group simply standing and watching the direction 17 took off to. "You guys either have one hell of a backup plan or you're all just plain stupid."

Bulma reached into her pocket revealing a small silver necklace. "As a matter of fact we do have a backup plan." The blue haired scientist smirked hanging the device around her finger. (a/n: remember ch3 last paragraph? Almost forgot I had that.)

Herbert cocked an eyebrow at her confused. "Jewelry? I don't think a shiny new necklace is going to change his mind about blowing this planet up."

"It's not just a necklace. Once I slip this around his neck, it will automatically adjust around his neck. Next," Bulma then showed Herbert a small controller with a single button. "I push this button and viola! Several electric shocks and Juunanagou will be completely paralyzed for about an hour if everything works out."

"That's amazing! I mean really to create such a small yet powerful device is absolutely phenomenal!" Of course Bulma caught on to the sarcasm oozing out of Herbert's mouth. "I mean all you have to do now is find a way to get close enough to get the thing on without him noticing or getting blasted away in the crosshairs since he will be in combat by the time you reach him now. But don't worry, once you get it around his neck, you just have to hope and pray that it works. Once he's paralyzed, all you have to do is run as fast as you can cause once that hour is up he's going to be a bit upset. But yea, great plan."

"Well when you put it that way it sounds stupid! But I'll have you know this" Herbert raised his hand to cut off Bulma's response. Clearly no one thought this through. With that he turned making his exit slowly down the hill.

"Juunanagou is the most stubborn person I've ever met! No little toy is going to stop him from this fight. I'm not sticking around for this mess."

"Hmmp! Whatever. This will work…at least I hope so…"

Juu found himself walking down a quiet side of town undoubtedly the slums of the city. It was a very narrow and long row of houses and apartment buildings. The street was wide enough for maybe one car although he saw nothing but the occasional bicycle chained to a pole or thrown to the side. He could feel Goku's presence growing with every step he took. Eyeing every door he passed carefully, he quickly scanned over the people inside. He made it towards the end of the black and was starring at the last two doors. Goku was definitely through one of these doors. It almost felt like he was standing right next to him. Juu walked towards the second to last door stopping in front of it. He placed his hand on the door and closed his eyes trying to focus in on Goku not wanting to pick the wrong door. Juu quickly jumped back as the door swung open on its own. His eyes darted around the small dark room for any signed of life when something grabbed onto his leg. Juu immediately tensed up and prepared to swing at his attacker by pulling his fist back.

"Hi!"

He came eye to eye with a smiling, small blue eyed little girl. She was hugging his leg while squeezing her stuffed bunny. Feeling foolish for thinking someone had caught him in a trap, Juunana released the breath he had been holding in and relaxed. He wanted to quickly turn and head for the next door but his tiny attacker refused to release his leg.

"My name is Angie! What's yours?"

Apparently this child had no fear of strangers. Juu dropped to one knee coming eye level to the little girl. He smiled warmly at the girl and pointed towards himself.

"My name is Juunanagou."

The girl looked at him puzzled. "Isn't that a number?"

Hoping he hadn't just started a round of twenty questions, he reluctantly answered her laughing lightly. "Yea, it is. My dad wasn't too creative when it came to names."

"Oh. Do you like games!" Yup here we go. Juu had no time to waste so quickly wanted to end this conversation before he was stuck in a tea party with Mr. Bunny.

"I love games! But, I'm looking for a friend of mine. He's new around here and I think he may be lost."

"The carrot guy!" Now it was Juu's turn to look puzzled.

"Carrot guy?"

"Yea! Mr. Goku! He looks like a carrot 'cause he's really really tall and has crazy hair!" the little girl laughed at her description of Juunana's 'friend'.

Juu snapped his fingers again flashing a smile. "That's him! Where is he?" the girl pointed next door.

"He went in there for tea. Are you going to come back?" Angie looked straight into Juu's eyes. She seemed on the edge of tears as if she was desperate for a friend. Something in the back of Juunana's mind wouldn't let him tell this innocent child he wouldn't be coming back.

"Sure." Juu clearly lied trying to escape without having her burst into tears. He didn't understand why he had forced himself to lie to a child he didn't even know. Pushing that to the back of his mind, he stood ready to leave. "But wait here we have a lot to talk about so I'll be back in five minutes."

The girl hugged her bunny and used the dreaded puppy eyes trick. "You promise?"

"I promise." The small girl laughed and ran into the back of the house. Juu swiftly moved to the next door before the girl returned.

He reached for the doorknob and paused. There was no way he would be caught off guard like that again. He grabbed on to the doorknob, quickly turning it, and pushing the door open. He waited just a few minutes before waving a hand around the corner as if checking for laser traps. He peered around the corner finding Goku sitting at a small coffee table with a long string of noodles hanging from his mouth waving back. Juu came completely around the corner glaring at Goku as if to call him an idiot.

"Hi 17!"

Juu walked into the room stopping in front of the table with arms crossed. He had his small play time with Angie next door. Right now, was strictly business and he was in no mood for any little games Goku might pull. "Not the greeting I'd expect right before a battle."

Goku slurped the rest of the noodles down and set the bowl on the table never raising his eyes to look at his challenger. He casually picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. "That's because I," he paused again to take another sip of his tea. "am not about to fight you." Goku made sure to finish that half of his statement in a serious tone now making eye contact with Juunana.

Not the answer he wanted to hear. Juunanagou laughed lightly then switched suddenly to a more serious face. "Oh yes you are." With great speed, he lifted his leg in the air bringing it down on the coffee table smashing it into pieces. "Stand up now and fight me." He began slowly raising his energy level showing he was not going to back down.

Goku looked at the mess in front of him cursing the fact he wasn't finished with his noodles yet. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled trying not to become upset. Juunanagou was no doubt ready to pick a fight by trying his hardest to frustrate Goku. Lucky Goku, he still has his tea. Not saying a word, Goku took yet another sip of his tea. Unfortunately for him, Juu was way more stubborn than that. With one foot, Juu pushed aside the two larger pieces of wood from the busted table and walked closer towards Goku. He leaned down towards Goku locking eyes with him and wrapped one hand around the cup Goku was drinking from.

"I said," Juu tightened his grip on the mug shattering it. Glass fell into Goku's lap along with the burning, hot tea. The tea had no effect on either man but left Goku clearly upset. "get up now and fight me."

Goku sighed standing up to brush the shards of class off his lap. He looked slightly angered by Juunana's actions bringing a smirk to the face of his contender. "I already told you, I will not fight with you." That wiped the smirk off his face. "You want to fight simply to prove you are a better fighter so I'll make a deal with you. Stop this now and I promise to spar with you later. That way we can fight safely without anyone getting hurt."

"I didn't do all that training for a damn spar Goku! We are going to have a full out one on one battle right now. I know about your plan and it won't work. Just because these weaklings are here doesn't mean I'm holding back an ounce of my strength. Fight me!"

Goku groaned annoyed with Juunana's persistence. He had already gone through something like this with Vegeta a number of times. Maybe it was best to give him a fight and end this trend now. "Fine. If you want to fight now, I'll do it." Goku moved to his battle stance getting ready for this unavoidable fight.

"That's more like it." Smiling now, Juu followed suit and fell into a fighting stance waiting for Goku's attack.

"But I won't power up."

Juunana stood up sharply enraged. "How do you expect to fight me without raising your power?" he wasn't falling for this trick. Goku also thought he was too weak hearted to hurt a human. The nerve this man had. From how it seemed, Goku was the one scared to hurt anyone not him. There was only one way to knock that idea clear out his head. Juunana raised his hand to the left of him at the wall.

"Wh-What are you doing?" Goku followed Juu's hand and saw he was aiming at the neighboring house. Fear shot through Goku's body. "You wouldn't." Juu formed a large energy ball in his hand. "Juunanagou! No!"

Before that entire statement made it out of Goku's mouth, Juu had released the ball sending it flying towards its unsuspecting victims. The moment Juu released the bomb something in the back of his mind screamed stop and a sting of guilt hit but was pushed aside. Goku moved as fast as he could jumping in front of the ball. Only he wasn't strong enough in his current state to stop it. The ball collided into the wall causing a huge explosion even with Goku in the way. The explosion took out the wall dividing one house from the next, the entire neighboring house, and the wall dividing the house after. Juu walked through the giant hole fanning the smoke out of his face. He found Goku pushing piles of brick and rubble off himself. When he moved one particular piece, he had uncovered a small, stuffed bunny. Angie's bunny.

That small sting of guilt that hit Juu earlier was now a flood of shame and guilt. He had completely forgotten the little girl was so close and sent that blast straight at her. He didn't have too much time to wallow in his regret. Goku flew at him catching him in the cheek with a strong, left hook. Juu slid a few feet back allowing instincts to catch his balance before hitting a wall or falling over. His eyes stayed locked on the bunny only closing when he got hit.

"What's wrong with you! You could've killed someone!" Clearly Goku hadn't seen the true damage caused just yet. "Good news for you is, you got your fight."

That statement yanked Juunana out of his thoughts and back into battle mode. A smirk crept over his face as he locked eyes with Goku. "Ready now?"

He could think back on his mistake later. Right now there was something he needed to take care of.

"You bet." Goku raised his ki slightly. His only response from 17 was a raised eyebrow. Goku's level hadn't change too far from the level he was on during his lunch. "What? You wanted a fight so let's do this."

"Really, Goku? Is that as high as you going to raise it?" In the time it took Goku to blink, Juunanagou was standing back to back with him. "Have it your way." Juu jabbed a hard elbow directly into the back of Goku sending him flying across the room landing in another pile of debris.

Seems destroying stuff struck a nerve cause Goku to at least accept the challenge. Maybe taking out something bigger would get him to boost his strength up a little. Sure he already had one casualty under his belt but at the moment he felt almost like his old self had a strangle hold on his conscious. The need to flex his power was taking over where guilt was just a second ago. While he felt bad for what happened earlier, his so called conscious was asking: "You've already killed one, why stop now?"…and it was completely right. A sadistic smirk crept onto his face watching Goku lift himself off the floor.

"My entire training up there was based on destruction, domination, and doing whatever it takes to win." Juu looked up at the giant hole in the ceiling caused by the earlier explosion. "I want to show you a new trick I learned."

Goku was standing up by now watching Juu closer this time. Still staring at the sky, 17 lifted his hand straight up closing his eyes trying to concentrate. A long red beam shot out of his hand and into the sky. "Now how big was this block?" he mumbled low to himself remembering his walk through this area. His eyes opened sharply. "That's perfect." Before Goku could ask questions the red beam quickly expanded outward forming a dome like barrier around the entire street block.

"Watch this!" The entire ground within the glowing dome began to slowly raise breaking apart in the process. The only thing Goku could hear was Juunanagou's laughter as he shields his face from a strong force blasting away everything in its field.

"Never *cough* got to use that one yet. *cough cough*" Juunanagou was fanning the ashes and dust of the destroyed block trying to catch some fresh air. "Think I should work on a better finish. What do you think Goku?" It was still cloudy as he briefly scanned the area for his opponent. Feeling a small pulse of energy, he turned around only to be punched in the face and sent flying far through the debris landing on his back. It was still too foggy to spot where that hit came from, so 17 held his comfortable position on the ground for a moment nursing his now sore jaw. A strong gust of wind pushed through the dust presenting a yellow haired, green eyed version of his target. Now that he could see where Goku was, Juu stood up still holding his jaw.

"None of these people had to die 17!"

"Apparently they did, Kakarot. Stop calling me 17! If you would have accepted my challenge from the beginning, none of this would have happened."

Goku responded by swiftly launching at Juu's face with a hard, right kick but was stopped. 17 caught his leg, swinging back with right hook landing in the gut of Goku. Since Juunanagou was still holding his leg, Goku grabbed the back of his head pulling it forward and kneeing him in the face and bringing down a vicious elbow to the top of his head. Juu was done with the fist exchange and released an energy blast into Goku's chest sending him flying. Before Goku could recover, Juu was hovering over him with a fist drawn back. He swung just barely missing Goku before Goku had teleported further in front of him. Juu increased his speed still flying straight at Goku pulling back for another punch. Goku readied himself and shot an energy beam at Juunanagou. Juu tried to stop by planting his feet on the ground but his earlier speed caused him to continue sliding forward towards the beam. Thinking fast, Juu tilted his head to the right just catching a slight burn from the beam. He surprised himself being able to dodge the beam that easily; a little too easy for his liking.

"Your holding back aren't you!"

Goku didn't answer but came out of his stance. He sent the beam as more of a warning shot to scare Juu out of this ridiculous battle. Now that he had caught on, this trick wouldn't work for much longer before Juu attempted more drastic messures.

"Show me your full power! Show me the power of your super saiyan level 4!"

That shocked Goku. He was insane to think he could take on a level 4 saiyan. Juu was clearly missing a few. Either he was bluffing or had really grown that much stronger. "No way I won't put the people of this planet at risk. And if you could take a level 4 then doesn't that mean you've been holding back too?"

"Humph…what fun would it be to pummel an opponent who's not at his best? But ok, no more holding back for me." Juu focused his power into his right hand until a slight blue aura surrounded it. What Goku thought was a fist about to be aimed at him, 17 instead dropped to one knee and punched through the ground holding his arm beneath it for a moment. He looked at Goku smiling. "If it's the people that are in the way, I can fix that."

A blue circle appeared on the ground like a shadow surrounding the hole Juunana created. It suddenly shot out covering the entire ground under the city. Juu removed his hand from the Earth, with a rope-like trail of the same blue aura that had covered the land. The rope moved like a snake wrapping itself around Juunana's arm. It began to slowly sink into his skin as if he were absorbing the energy coming from the ground. "Here's another fascinating trick I learned." As he raised his power the ground below them began shaking uncontrollably. Juu began attempting to explain what was going on to Goku by yelling over the noise.

"This blue energy you see is my own ki. I can transmit my energy into objects and the higher I raise my ki…the more power I pump into this city. And when I release enough power this entire city will be piles of ashes!"

Just as he finished his statement, Juu did just that. He began to skyrocket his ki pumping more and more chaotic energy into the city. Everything began to erupt starting with all electric items moving up to the giant buildings exploding. Juu watched Goku look around in horror not knowing what to do. He had enough of the game and found it was time to end it. Juu sent a major boost of power into the city causing one final gigantic explosion leaving the city smothered in black fog.

The fighters had all healed and watched from their spot above the city as it exploded little by little before succumbing to a massive explosion and being sucked into a horrific cloud of ash. Everyone knew what the cause had to of been but some were not willing to admit it. Pan continued to mumble there had to be a reason for this or it was an accident while Bra simply stared at the scene not knowing what to say or do. There was no excuse for this no matter how much Pan wished her future sensei hadn't resorted back to his evil ways. No matter how much she wished it hadn't happened, there was no getting around it; her last resort shopping buddy and source of entertainment had defiantly lost control of himself. Bulma was almost expecting it and knew they needed to act fast.

"18?" She didn't even turn away from the destroyed city but simply answered with a soft 'hmm?' She was already a step ahead of Bulma and knew what was coming next.

"We're going to need your help. You're the only one who can get close to him without him becoming suspicious of us." Bulma was holding the necklace and the controller to set it off.

18 nodded and accepted the mission of taking down her own brother. While she had accepted the challenge, she was still battling internally with actually carrying it out. She turned her attention back to the disaster with a sigh. "What have you gotten me in to Juunanagou?" she then looked at the device to take her brother down. "I don't think I could do this."

"How'd you like that one? That's by far my favorite one. I never get to use it often since it takes up so much energy." Juunanagou held his fist up smirking at Goku. "But don't worry, I have plenty left for our fight."

An enraged super saiyan level 4 Goku eyed down Juunanagou through the clearing ash. "Perfect. Let's go. For real this time!"
