"FOOLS!" she shouted suddenly, the laughing ceasing. "I AM DEATH! I AM ETERNAL! All who oppose me shall DIE!" As her scream echoed over the decimated landscape she launched into the air leaving a trail of electricity, fire, and darkness in her wake. Goku slipped backward a little but wasn't fast enough as her fist smashed into his face with a blast of electricity and rocketed him into the sky.
Back down on the ground Gohan began to stir, the rocks covering him rolling off again. He stood slowly holding his head and looked up at the battle. Piccolo and Magneto had moved in to help Goku and the three were doing what they could against Morana. Then he saw Jean float up as well and stretch her arms out and up toward them. "You okay?" Hank asked walking over to where Gohan now stood.
"Yeah, I just..." he shook his head. "She killed Videl and I lost my head for a minute." Looking around he saw the frozen Gotenks and moved over quickly firing a stream of Ki and thawing him out.
The Fusion stood shivering, his teeth chattering. "Oh man... that's cold... so cold..." he managed. "Go-Gohan! Hey, you're up again!" he cheered, then he turned and saw the ongoing fight. "Oh man..."
Gohan nodded in agreement. Then, suddenly, Morana froze and all three warriors landed solid blows aginst her for a moment. Then, with a flash of red and a scream of rage, she threw her arms and head back again knocking them away. Turning, she glared at Jean and her eyes flashed bright red. Jean let out an ear splitting scream as she grabbed her head. A second later she collapsed to the ground.
Before Morana could turn again Goku and Piccolo slammed their feet into the back of her head and slammed her down into the crater again. Wolverine turned his eyes from Jean and drew his claws with a growl. Instantly he was running across the expanse toward her, reaching her just as she stood. With a grunt he threw an uppercut and jammed his claws into her abdomen lifting her off the ground a few inches.
Her eyes widened in shock for a moment and then she glared at him. "Wretched Mutants!" she roared floating back off his claws, her injury sealing up. "I was designed to destroy you, you can't defeat me! Just give up and DIE!" She thrust her right arm foward and was about to blast him when a loud roar began to sound from the west. Turning, everyone looked to see what was coming. A moment later several glimmering dots became visable. Seconds later it was evident a small army of Sentinels was approaching.
Small being about a hundred of the large machines. A moment later a purple energy field engulfed the crater and Magneto fell to the ground. "Prime Sentinels." he hissed.
"Prime what?" Goku asked.
"This field supresses their powers." Piccolo informed him. "It would seem the Humans have come to deal with their little mess."
As soon as he finished that, a large air ship desceneded from above the clouds blotting out a large portion of the sky. "S.H.I.E.L.D. Head Quarters!" Kurt called in suprise.
"Surrender Morana!" Nick Fury's voice called over a speaker system. "You were created with Mutant DNA, this supressor field affects you as well. We will not allow you to continue in this course, you belong to us."
Goku could tell differently however. Her power had plummeted, cut in half by the field, but she was still powerful. But if he acted quickly he could defeat her before she... As the thought came to him and he turned to attack he found her arm already aimed skyward, red energy tracing about her palm. She snarled and yelled up into the sky. "FURY!" There was a thunderous crack and then the energy tore free of her hand. The stream was more than fifty feet wide as it surged through the air and then slammed into the center of the large air ship, tearing clean through it.
The attack had obviously hit something vital as a chain reaction began within it. A series of explosions rang out, several of them punching through the ship's hull. Suddenly the field around them began to shrink. The control computers for the Sentinels had been destroyed and without Bastion around to take over they were becoming nothing but worthless towers of scrap metal. The air ship began to descend into the crater and the Z Fighters quickly grabbed the still powerless Mutants and launched out of the way.
Coming to a stop at the crater's edge they watched as the ship slammed into the ground with a loud crash. "And so that's it." Magneto said as the field vanished and he floated under his own power to land on the top of a building. The others soon joined him and gazed down into the wreckage. "S.H.I.E.L.D. and Morana are both gone now."
Hank nodded. "Perhaps peace will finally happen."
Logan shook his head. "Too bad Jean wont get to see it."
There was a flash as Goku and Gotenks reverted to base, and then Gotenks split apart into two again, his time up. The small group stood there in silence for a moment just watching the smoking wreck. And then Trunks paled. "Oh man... no way... you have to be kidding me!"
The others glanced at him for a moment as he took a step back and then fell to the ground. Looking back down that's when Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan felt it too. Morana's power was building back up again. 20, 40, 60, 80, 100. As she returned to her full power her screams echoed through the desolate battle field once more. And then, a blinding flash of purple and red flared to life within the remains of the air ship and tore apart half of it. From the explosion Morana emerged once more.
She rolled her head around slowly cracking her neck. Then she turned her gaze toward those she'd been fighting. She didn't have the chance to attack however as the roar of gunfire and flying rockets filled the air. From all around them unseen forces opened fire. Bullets and rockets surged toward her. As the rockets hit, they exploded hiding her from view. The assualt continued for several moments before a cease fire was ordered.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Morana. Unmoved. Unharmed. She ignored the little pests more interested in dealing with the ones she'd been fighting first. As she floated there glaring at them Goku turned to Gohan. "You think you can manage a Fusion Dance?" he asked. "I know you've only ever seen Goten and Trunks do it, never tried yourself, but... we don't have the power to stop her now."
Gohan nodded. "Ya, I can try at least... I just hope it works." The two stepped foward and apart from each other. Slowly they moved through the motions. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuu. Sion. Ha!" Piccolo and the boys watched as their arms moved toward each other and their hands neared.... Goku's were perfect.... Gohan's... however.... were not. There was a spark of light where they touched and they began to phase into each other.
"Oh no!" Goten cried. "They goofed it!"
"Not good." Piccolo growled as the light faded revealing a very fat spikey haired man. "Not good at all."
"Uh-oh." Gokan said looking down at himself.
"What the...." the Mutants breathed.
"Magneto, we need to hold her off for ten minutes! Then they'll de-fuse and be able to try again!" Piccolo said. So far, out of the Mutants, he'd been the only one able to keep up. The Mutant nodded and the two launched in toward Morana once more. Goten and Trunks just looked at each other wishing they could help.
Suddenly Trunks had an idea and turned to the Mutants. "Hey, you two are close in power!" he said looking at Hank and Wolverine. "I bet you could do a Fusion!"
"That... thing they just did?" Logan asked. He rather didn't like the idea of doing such a ridiculous thing, but if it could help him stop Morana...
"How does such a thing work?" Hank asked.
"We'll teach you!" Goten cheered. "First we have to teach you to use your Ki... You've got plenty of it so it should be easy!"
Out over the crater Piccolo had moved in at close range and was throwing everything he had at Morana but, even with Magneto 'pulling the strings' and slowing her down, he still couldn't land a blow. "Hold still!" he cried. She smirked and stopped moving and his fist cracked into her jaw barely even moving it. Suddenly she smashed her foot into his chin launching him skyward. She shot up after him but Magneto tightened his magnetic grip on her and flung her back down into the ground.
Reaching out with his arms he began to rip parts off of the smashed airship and fling them at her. By the time she'd risen back up and had gotten around his assault, Piccolo was back and smashing his foot into the small of her back. She turned and the two began to trade blows again. Magneto used the time to focus. He gripped the entire structure of the ship with his powers and began to lift it into the air.
Gokan stood watching the fight, not even realizing the boys were teaching the Fusion dance. He felt helpless. He wanted to be in there... /Come on, wear off!/ his mind screamed as Magneto managed to lift the bulky airship. As Piccolo dodged out of the way of Morana's next attack, Magneto hurled the remains of the ship at her. She turned at the last second and reach out her hands gripping it with her own powers. The two then began to battle for control over it.
Morana let out an earsplitting screech and the large ship shook and then tore apart into little pieces. She and Magneto each began flinging them across the sky at each other. After several minutes of this, Morana grabbed a large piece out of the air and held it. There was a spark and it began to glow. "Magneto!" she roared throwing the glowing metal. The Mutant reached out his power to defelect the metal but as soon as his power contacted it, it exploded savagely and flung him backward and through a building. With a grin Morana shot off after him to finish him off.
