ENJOY!
Chapter Fourteen…
"Dragon! I wish for immortality!" shouted Vegeta. The dragon just gave him a curious look before ignoring him.
Suddenly a huge power level appeared behind Vegeta. He slowly turned around and gasped in fear.
"So I'm not to late, good. Dragon I commend you to wish Piccolo back to life and send him right here!" shouted Gohan.
The dragon's eyes glowed before he said "Your wish has been granted. Speak your next wish!"
Before Gohan could mutter another word a new figure spoke
"I wish to have my body restored!" The dragon's eyes glowed again. The figure's body started being surrounded by smoke and when it cleared, a very tall figure stood in its place. It's eyes were a mixture of gold and red. His hair was put in a ponytail. The figure was very muscular being over head taller than Vegeta. He had a blue sword strapped to his back. His clothing attire consisted of black robes which seemed to melt with his body. His power level was huge. Easily over a hundred times that of Gohan.
"I didn't expect to meet you so quickly Shadowstrike." said Gohan with venom in his voice.
The figure just smirked in response. It then spoke, his voice now a lot deeper and scary. "I wish my power was fully restored!" the dragon's eyes glowed, but instead of granting the wish the balls lifted of the ground before falling back in place. The namakian elders eyes watered.
"Guru is dead." he said in a sad voice.
"Are you going to fight me now, or run like a coward till you get your power restored to full?" Gohan questioned Shadowstrike.
"No, I'm strong enough to beat you easily now. If you haven't noticed my power level is a lot higher than yours." he said with a deep chuckle.
"Dad, you and Vegeta go and take care of Frieza. I'll take care of things here."
"What! Gohan are your crazy? He's way stronger than Frieza, you can't think of taking him on alone. If we work together we might have some chance, but going alone is just suicide!"
"This is something personal dad. Adding your power level won't bring any new changes. You're no match for him, go and take care of Frieza, I'll be fine here"
"I'm not letting you fight him alone Gohan!" shouted Goku.
Meanwhile Vegeta was slowly moving away. Now he had know idea what was going on, but he wasn't going to take orders from some brat. All of their power levels were way over his 'How did they all get so strong? How could they surpass the prince of all Saiyans? Everything is ruined. The Dragon's gone and I can't wish for my immortality. Ha, I'll let those fools deal with this themselves.' Those were Vegeta's final thoughts before he blasted away. He didn't fly far as just as when he lifted off he was punched in the face which sent him into the ground creating a huge crater.
"Now, now Vegeta, where do you think you're going?" questioned the leader of the Ginyu force.
'Damn, how did it happen that I'm surrounded by so many people stronger than me? This is insane'
"Father, Piccolo will join you in the fight soon, don't let him die and help Vegeta. There's no time to lose. You can't fight those morons and Frieza at the same time"
"Gohan! Watch your language!" shouted Goku before disappearing and taking down Reccome with a kick in the head.
Vegeta got up from the crater before joining the fight. He attacked Guldo slicing him in half and then went to attack Burter. No matter what Vegeta threw it was dodged. Burter went on the offensive. His speed was great enough that it allowed him to kick Vegeta around the place. It looked like he was playing volleyball using Vegeta's body as the ball. Adding insult to the injury Goku was having no trouble fighting two of his opponents at one time.
On the other side of the battlefield, Gohan stared down at his opponent. Even though he was afraid, he would never admit it. He know that his chances of victory were extremely small, but he wouldn't give up. One of his worst scenarios had came up, and he was going to fight till the death. On the other side of the planet, he could feel Piccolo's power level rise by a lot, this was surprised, but he smiled. The stronger they were the bigger chance of survival there was.
"So, when did you figure me out Gohan?" asked Shadowstrike while laughing to himself.
"Why are you asking such a ridicules question? Are you trying to escape the battle? You know that if this doesn't end now, that I'm going to hunt you down till you die don't you?"
"Oh, please. There's no need for that. I'm just curious, that's all. We both know that this will finish here, and after that I will take over the universe as I planned ten thousand years ago."
"Then let's get this over with, I don't have time to just sit around and have a chi-chat with a traitor."
"Ow, such harsh words. What had I done to deserve them?" question Shadowstrike with a mock laugh while drying the so called invisible tear coming down from his eye.
Suddenly their conversation came to an end as the head of Captain Ginyu rolled before them. Gohan had already sensed the one responsible for this. Piccolo after all never was the one to show mercy to the enemy.
Using the distraction to his advantage, Gohan increased his power to as high as he could and quickly rushed at his opponent.
"You don't want to talk with me anymore Gohan? After all we went through?" he said laughing while easily dodging the punches thrown by Gohan. Their battle produced so much ferocity that it stopped the other ones occurring as everyone watch the two battle in mid air. Their power was enormous, way higher than Goku ever sensed his son's power to go. As the two opponents clashed again, Vegeta used the shockwave that erupted from the contact. Rushing at Burter he charged as much ki as he could into the tip of his finger. Appearing behind his opponent, he threw the thin beam straight at his neck. The final result was utterly disgusting as the blue alien choked on his own bloods which spurted from neck. As he descended to the ground Vegeta smirked. Increasing his speed he pointed out his leg before dropping from the air straight at his opponent, smashing the remains of his neck.
The fight between Shadowstrike and Gohan continued. The two now shot ki blasts at each other. The blasts held lots of power and soon turned in the direction of the only unfinished fight. Goku, putting a lot of effort was able to dodge the blasts. The same couldn't be said about Juice who was hit by the first few which completely disintegrated his body.
Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta moved to a cliff and from their they watched the fight. Soon afterwards, Gohan hit the ground beside them. When they got a closer looked, he looked almost half dead. Covered from head to toe in blood.
"What are you still doing here? GO AND KILL FRIEZA! IF YOU SUCCEED THEN TAKE THE REMAINING NAMAKIANS AND GET OUT OF THE PLANET!" his outburst surprised everyone. They also noticed something different. It was something in his eyes. If he was holding something back, something so terrible that it froze them in place.
"Taking a break, are we Gohan?"
"How about we end the warm up?" questioned the Dracaliar, a determined look on his face.
"Oh, so that's not all you got? Never mind, I would be surprised if you didn't prepare yourself." Shadowstrike then reached out for his sword.
Gohan powered up, the energy soon surrounded his body. Electricity crackled around his body while his aura started to change its colour.
"Are you sure that it's necessary? We might be able to destroy him without it"
"We're going to have to fuse back sooner or later."
"But, what if out body and mind aren't ready?"
"Travelling back to the past was like a mind test. Training in high gravity was a mind one. There is nothing we can do, it's unstoppable."
"I hope your right"
The two counterparts looked at each other for the last time before touching each other's hands. This action was enough to start the fusion process. Soon a white light surrounded Gohan. His aura spread out soon reaching the sky. Gohan looked like a sun itself. No one was able to look at him while his power level skyrocketed at a steady rate. His aura then started changing colour. Soon enough Gohan was surrounded in a Golden aura. It started becoming thinner and thinner as the power was absorbed back into his body. Then Gohan was finally visible. He now possessed golden hair which stood to no end. It was a bit longer than previously. Another noticeable difference was more muscles. When he opened his eyes, they were that of turquoise colour they seemed to glow with a mysterious light. What was the most surprising was his power level. It was really unstable, and no one was able to get an actual reading of it.
Gohan pointed out his hand. A huge sword started to appear in the palm of his hand. Grabbing the hilt, Gohan held the sword hard. The sword continued to meld into its form. It's blade growing in size. It was now golden in colour with a red outline surrounding it.
"I assume you've heard of swords known as Blade of Gods?" question Gohan
"Oh, but of course, who hadn't after all. The biggest legend of the universe. It was believed that some swords were so powerful that no one was able to wield them at their true power. It had multiple transformations, each stronger than the last. No one was able to wield them so they got their name from the common belief that only gods could wield them. A really stupid legend."
"The legends are nearly correct. The swords were so powerful that no one was able to wield. Not even the Gods. If my memory is correct, then you had came across one of them in the past. You are holding it's weakest form. You never had enough courage to call out it's real name and see what happens, had you?"
"Ha, this is no blade of Gods, it was the strongest one ever created which means nothing at all."
"The irony is that you don't notice that because your holding it and it belongs to you, then it's rightful name is a blade of a God" answered Gohan with a laugh.
"So why had you brought out the legend?"
"My sword is that of legends. If all comes to an end and I'm unable to stop you, then I'll realise it's true form. I'm not strong enough to control it, I may never be. But it's power is more than strong enough to destroy a God… Even though we both will be rubbed out of existence, I think it's worth it, wouldn't you say?"
"If you think I'm stupid enough to fall in for your mind games, then your horribly wrong!"
Shadowstrike attacked slicing out at Gohan, the two started rising back into the air. The swords held in hand battling till death.
"I think we should get rid of Frieza, it looks like Gohan will be fine here." said Piccolo
"I'm not leaving my son alone to battle some freak!" shouted Goku, angered by the suggestion.
"He's right Kakarrot, your brat will be fine and Frieza needs to die." Before Vegeta knew what happened he was punched in the face by Goku.
"Oh, so the monkeys are arguing among themselves, how pathetic" said a presence behind them
All three heads made a sharp turn to see Frieza sitting on his hover chair laughing at the sight.
"Why are you looking like a bunch of idiots? Oops, I forgot. You are a bunch of idiots. And now you will pay for destroying my best fighters and stealing my wish!"
Frieza then rushed at Goku. To his surprise, not only was he not able to hit him, but he was knocked to a side like a fly.
"HOW DARE YOU HIT ME YOU FILTHY MONKEY! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR LIFE!" shouted Friza.
Seeing that he was outmatched he gathered up his power, and realised his form. With this his transformation had began. He began growing bigger and two horns on his head started changing shape. His tail also got a lot thicker while his battle armour disappeared to be replaced with what looked like an armour made out of different coloured scales.
Vegeta angered by the change gathered energy in his hand. "You call this a transformation! Then look at this!" He then tossed the ball into the sky which exploded creating artificial moonlight. Vegeta slowly started his transformation, Goku accidentally looked at the moon and was going under similar changes. Soon enough two monkey roared at the battlefield.
