Chp 14 : " The Dragon Warriors Collide "

Prince Vegeta :(With a happy and shocked face) Father… you are alive.

King Vegeta : Yes son. Raditz was mainly responsible for it. Long story. We will catch up later. For now lets show these two clowns what saiya-jins can do.

Prince Vegeta : Are you sure father? These guys are formidable for you in your current state.

King Vegeta : Well then I guess I will just have to go super..

(With a small smirk King Vegeta gave out a huge shout and ascended to SSJ. Prince Vegeta is surprised but regains his composure and himself ascends to SSJ2. He gives a childish competitive grin to his father and his father replies with a laugh and starts raising his power.)

Prince Vegeta : Father … have you gone beyond?

King Vegeta : There is a lot for you to learn about the concepts of power son.

(As he said that he was continuously raising his power. With a huge flash of light King Vegeta was standing as SSJ2. General Sladhog and King Jekro had gotten to their feet and were awed at the energy they were sensing from King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta.)

King Jekro : Sladhog … if this goes on we won't stand a chance against these two monkeys who oddly look a lot similar.

General Sladhog : Wait … hey we are recovered and can fuse now.

King Jekro : What are you waiting for then?

(General Sladhog and King Jekro stand besides each other and extend their right and left hands respectively.)

Piccolo : Wait. Prince Vegeta you have to stop them from fusing. It took the combined powers of Gotenks and Gohan to stop them.

Prince Vegeta : What do you say father? Do we give them a taste of royalty?

King Vegeta : Gladly son.

(Both begin to charge huge energy beams in their hands. Vegeta has his hads spread for the Final Flash and King Vegeta has his right hand extended in front. With a huge grunt both release massive energies. )

Prince Vegeta : FINALLL-FLASHHH.

King Vegeta : TAKE THIS.

(Huge amounts of energies mix with each other and engulf the two myrines. The huge beam shoots up in the sky and disappears in space. The royal saiya-jins were careful enough not to do any damage to the planet. When the beam passed King Jekro and General Sladhog were visible again. They had covered up i.e. crossed their arms around their chest and snuck their heads between. Their armor was partially destroyed and their energy had taken a nose down.)

Prince Vegeta : Wow. They actually survived. But another attack will seal their fate.

General Sladhog : You know for all the years I have known saiya-jins I always find that their over-confidence is always their undoing.

(General Sladhog gave a smirk. Once again a huge smokescreen was formed. Sladhog and Jekro tried to escape again in the same way that Sladhog had before. Prince Vegeta and King Vegeta are puzzled. This time when the smoke cleared Sladhog was standing with a scared look on his face and staring him in the eye were Piccolo and King Piccolo. At their feet was Jekro.)

Piccolo : Did you expect to fool us with the same trick again?

General Sladhog : (Realizing he is vastly outclassed to himself) Damn where is that silent Navneet. He was fighting with the other guy but he seems to have vanished. Grrr if I don't think of something fast these pathetic Nameks are going to…

(And out of nowhere Alpha comes flying down and hits the ground. He is completely torn apart and looks like he is down for the count. Zeta appears right in between the Nameks and Sladhog. He powers up and Piccolo, King Piccolo take a step back. Zeta continues to power up and Piccolo realizes that he and King Piccolo are no match against Zeta. Kakarot starts to get up. He had fallen due to the attack of the Navneet-Ses with the weapon that weakens saiya-jins. He sees Zeta and is shocked that Zeta is trying to help them.)

Zeta : (Staring at Kakarot but then turns his attention towards Prince Vegeta and King Vegeta. His voice is like that of Christian Bale in Batman Begins) So it seems that you two are the strongest here right now. Then its you two who I will have to take out to bring him here.

Prince Vegeta : (Rage building on the face of the Prince)You disrespectful imbecile. You won't be able to bring anyone as I am your ugly end.

(He powered up and charged towards Zeta. Both disappeared. They collided in mid-air above everyone. Prince Vegeta went for a right punch to the chest which Zeta blocked with his left arm and caught Prince Vegeta's throat with his right fist. Prince Vegeta buried both his legs in Zeta's abdomen. Zeta released the throat but caught Prince Vegeta's legs pulled him closer and pelted his knee into the saiya-jin's stomach. He caught Prince Vegeta's right hand with his right fist lifted him a little higher turned and threw him towards Piccolo and King Piccolo. King Vegeta was distracted by this when suddenly Zeta appeared behind him and gave a double-axe handle to the back of the neck of the King. He was knocked out unconscious and dropped to the ground. Prince Vegeta still air-borne controlled himself from crashing into the Nameks. He looked at what Zeta did and was burning with anger.)

Prince Vegeta : (Now completely boiling with anger) Father.(Turning towards Zeta) You coward. He was off-guard. Now I am going to blast you into the oblivion.

(He kept shouting while his power kept increasing. He flew up and came to the same level as Zeta. He started powering up. It felt like his power was going through the roof.)

Kakaot : (To himself)Is he ascending?

(His hair started to grow. The power was surging through him but suddenly he stopped. He felt immense pressure in his though hadn't moved from his spot except he had his hands extended forward. Prince Vegeta stopped powering up and was still in his SSJ2 form. He definitely had felt a hard punch to his gut but Zeta was still in the same spot. Zeta started gathering energy. A huge amount collected in his hand and suddenly it shot out towards Prince Vegeta. He covered up by crossing his hands across his chest when the energy beam started taking shape. It formed a closed fist connected straight and hard with Prince Vegeta's left cheek. It caught him completely off-guard and it also did tremendous damage. Prince Vegeta still recuperating from the pain felt another energy blast come towards him. Prince Vegeta didn't know what to expect. This time the blast shaped up into a leg and encircled Prince Vegeta and kicked him in the back of his head. After this Zeta charged and planted his elbow in Prince Vegeta's nose. Prince Vegeta descended back to his normal form and fell to the ground. Kakarot, King Piccolo and Piccolo who witnessed this couldn't believe what they just saw. Prince Vegeta fell to the ground and was completely unconscious. Zeta saw this and a smirk appeared on his face.)

Zeta : (Staring at Kakarot) Did you see what I am capable of? Now call him AT ONCE!

Kakarot : Call who? Why are you telling me to call whoever it is? Do I know this guy?

Zeta : (Infuriated at Kakarot he shouts into the sky) BASSSS ! Show yourself you coward.

Kakarot : So you are his rival then. And the seal I saw while you were fighting Alpha was the dragon seal just like Bass has on his arm. And if I remember correctly they both were the seals of Shenron himself so that means you are his rival.

Zeta : Yes that is right.(Turning towards Kakarot) Now will you call him?

Kakarot : I don't know where he is okay. But I think he heard you when he shouted.

Zeta : Hmm. You maybe right. Yes he is coming.

(And the familiar white cloud approached Zeta. Within moments out stepped Bass. He was still hooded. He turned towards Zeta.)

Bass : You realize what you are asking. The magnitude of our fight may not be withstood by this planet.

Zeta: Only on one condition will this fight be "safe" for the planet Bass, that's if you don't fight hooded. Let go of the disguise already Bass.

Bass : Very well, Zeta. I need this planet to stay intact so I will agree to that.

(Bass looses the hood on his face. He has dark yellow spiky hair but it tends to fall back instead of staying upright. His face is human like. {Pics posted in my album of "For my fan fiction" please refer to it for description.} Kakarot is amazed at his appearance. Bass starts powering up. Feels as if his power is exactly equal to Zeta's and exceeds the power of an SSJ2. Zeta also has powered up. Both stare at each other and smile. It's as if both of them have been looking forward to fight each other for years. Both scream out facing up at the top of their voice and charge at each other.)

Zeta : (To himself) Yes Bass. Once again its time to make the world tremble.

Bass :(To himself) Master Shenron, please make sure the Earth can withstand the pressure of this fight.

(Bass fires up a purple energy ball in his right hand. Zeta stops and gathers energy in both his hands. Bass fires and Zeta uses his concentration to give his energy a shape. It turns into an energy sword and he uses it to deflect Bass' attack. He swings the sword at Bass but misses as Bass moves to his left. The swing causes the ground exactly below the energy sword to crack. Bass plants his right knee in Zeta's gut and connects his right fist with Zeta's left gets pushed back but with his right hand he swings the sword from the left side of Bass going towards his right at the throat area. Bass moves back and the mountain across him which is in the line of the swing reduces to bits. As a result of his evasive maneuver Bass' legs rise up a bit and Zeta catches his right leg with his left hand brings him closer and tries to jab the sword into his chest. But bass catches the sword between both his palms. Just then Zeta releases Bass' left leg and fires a point blank energy blast at Bass' face. Unable to cover up he endures the full extent of the blast and falls back towards the ground. He controls himself, stops and looks up but sees Zeta charging at him. Zeta goes straight for Bass' gut but Bass' jumps up holds the back of the head of Zeta and pelts him with a knee to the face and then swings his left leg which hits the right side of Zeta's waist. He kicks Zeta's right fist even harder which causes Zeta to loose the gathered energy and the energy sword disintegrates. Zeta, visibly angry at this charges an energy in his left hand but before he can release it Bass hits the front elbow joint of Zeta's left hand with his own left fist and bends Zeta's left fist with his right hand hence Zeta's blast hits his own face. While being pushed back as a result of the blast however, Zeta raises his left leg and hits Bass' chin. Bass recovers and goes for Zeta's left cheek with his left leg while Zeta attempts to hit Bass' stomach with his left leg. Both connect with immense force at the same time and both are thrown back. Both are slightly panting after that encounter. Zeta starts gathering energy in his right hand. Bass realized this and made a charge. But Zeta immediately extended his left hand forward and released small energy blasts which started taking shapes of spears and headed straight towards Bass. With such a small dodging distance he had to move really fast but many spears hit him in the face and his body. Zeta stopped the attack. Bass was considerably damaged. He was bruised by the spears. Blood was dripping from his cheeks, left side of the stomach and right thigh. Bass hadn't lost all of his energy though and started to power up an energy blast by bringing both his hands in front and keeping them about six inches apart. Zeta notices this and thinks of charging, but stops in his tracks and instead throws a few more energy spears. Seeing the spears Bass disappears. Zeta searches but is unable to sense Bass. Within seconds he feels a huge energy wave coming towards him from above. He looked up started gathering energy to repel the attack when Bass appeared behind him and released a small but intense beam that went through Zeta's back and came out of his chest. Zeta lost a lot of energy. He was temporarily unable to move because of the pain. Bass disappeared and the huge energy blast hit Zeta. A huge explosion occurred. Zeta was on the ground almost completely powerless. By this time Kakarot, King Piccolo, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Goku Jr., Vegeta Jr. are up. King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta are still down. Beta and Gamma have also regained consciousness as have Sladhog and Jekro. Witnessing this combat had left all of them fixated on the fight. Seeing Zeta down gave the Z-gang some relief. At the same time Yamcha arrived with a bag of senzu beans in his hands. Seeing him the Z-fighters were delighted. The Navneets and Myrines were visibly scared. Bass descended to the ground where Zeta was fallen. Bass powered down and picked up Zeta catching him by the robes around his chest. King Vegeta started to recover and rose to his feet. Bass threw Zeta away and turned his back to him.)

Bass : (To himself) It can't be. I have never been able to defeat him cleanly. And he has never been outsmarted by anyone. But why would he loose on purpose?

Zeta : (Barely able to get up)Wondering how you beat me and that too by out-smarting me?

Bass : (Was shocked) Why did you loose on purpose?

Zeta : Who's to say I lost?

(Just then another Navneet who was considerably bigger than all the other Navneets everyone had seen appeared out of nowhere besides Beta and Gamma.)

Kakarot : (With a surprised look) He used Instant transmission to get here.

Tien : Are you sure?

King Vegeta : (With a scared look) O…o…o..mega Navneet. N..n..n.o…o.

(Everyone looks at King Vegeta. Alpha just got up and seeing Omega he was shocked. Beta and Gamma are happy to see Omega. Sladhog and Jekro also approach him seeing that he is an ally of Navneets. Omega turns towards Beta.)

Omega Navneet : (Voice= Hugh Jackman in X-men Origins: Wolverine) Beta. Place your hand on my shoulder.(Turning towards Sladhog and Jekro) Keep your hands on my back. Gamma hold on to Beta.

(Everyone did as he said. Next instant all of them disappeared. Bass saw this but thought it wasn't important. Everyone was distracted by this. When Bass looked back at the spot where Zeta was fallen he was shocked to see that Zeta was nowhere to be found. No one could see him or sense him. Everyone was puzzled.)

Bass : Zeta …. this isn't over. I will never let you obtain The Dragon Scale

(Bass turned towards the Z-warriors and walked towards them. Yamcha passed around the senzu beans and everyone including King and Prince Vegeta. . Alpha joined in with the group. Everyone was standing around Bass as he began speaking.)

Bass : Listen up all of you (In a serious tone) I am about to tell you The Legend of the Dragon Scale. This story will change your lives forever.

(Everyone closes in and listens intently.)

[End of chapter 14. A short one. I worked real hard on imagining Zeta v/s Bass. I want it to be the next Goku v/s Vegeta. Would like to hear some comments about the fight details. BTW Zeta's ability is kind of like Green Lantern's power ring if anyone is having trouble visualizing. Okay here is the teaser for the next chapter which might be updated sooner if comments keep coming in
{Trailer : Next time on Db Crisis, Bass' story reveals secrets that send chills down the spines of our heroes and Bass also makes a revelation which endangers the unity of the Z-gang in the next chapter " Concepts Of Power "}]
