The cyborg stood across from Gohan. Here eyes were wide. He looks like a bad boy version of the Gohan of my world. Wonder what he's doing here.
"Mind telling me who you are?"
Juuhachigou snapped out of her trance. She smirked at him. "My name is Juuhachigou."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "That's a pretty long name. Mind if I call you Juu?"
"I'd prefer it if you called me by my full name. The shortened version sounds stupid."
"Too bad. I'll call you that anyway." Gohan had a smirk on his face as he saw the look of annoyance on hers.
Juu smirked when an idea came to her head. She would use her knowledge of the future to annoy him back. "You must be Gohan."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "How do you know my name?"
"I won't be telling you that."
Gohan sighed. "Then I guess you must be one of King Cold's minions. That's how you know my name."
Juu's eyes widened with surprise. "What?"
Gohan smirked. "Tell me where your master is and I might let you go."
"I am not working with that ugly freak. I crash landed here accidentally."
"How do I know you're not lying Juu?"
Juu's face became annoyed again. "Please don't call me that."
Gohan's head suddenly snapped to the side where he sensed a power level. "It has to be him! I've got to catch him before he gets away. It was nice meeting you Juu, but I've got to go." Gohan took off towards the location of the power level.
Juu appeared in front of him with an evil grin on her face. "Did you really think I would let you get away?"
"So you are one of King Cold's minions!"
"No, but I can't pass up an opportunity to kill."
Gohan took an urgent glance in King Cold's direction before turning back to Juu. "Look…I don't have time for this! I'll get King Cold then come back and fight you!"
"Sorry, but we'll fight now!" Juu tried to punch Gohan, but he evaded the attack and flew back a distance before giving her a hardened stare.
I can't sense any of her energy. What is she, some kind of robot? Gohan noticed King Cold's power level fading as the distance increased. I've got to end this quickly. I'll need to use my full power. Gohan powered up to his maximum.
Juu smirked. "You can't change your hair color. You don't stand a chance."
Gohan became confused. "Change hair color? Do you mean the super saiyan? How do you know about that?"
"I've fought one before. You're father."
"My father huh? I take it that you came here to escape him."
"Wrong. I killed him, but I was too weak from the battle to fend off the others."
Gohan smirked. "My father may have been a super saiyan, but he still wasn't the strongest in the universe, at least not after Vegeta also became a super saiyan."
"So Vegeta's also a super saiyan? I'll kill you then move on to him."
Gohan's face hardened. "You'll regret those words. Android!"
Juu's eyes became wide. "How did you know I was partly mechanical?"
"I thought you were completely mechanical. I know for a fact that you can't sense the energy of a mechanical fighter, except Frieza since his mechanical parts just serve to channel his natural energy."
Juu smiled. "Why don't we finish our little discussion and get on with this battle."
"Now you're speaking my language!" Gohan leapt forward and his fist collided with Juu's
Shockwaves erupted in the air as the two fighters started to exchange blows. Their fists collided with each other's cheek, and both fighters went flying in opposite directions. They got back up, and wiped the blood from the side of their mouths. Both had smirks.
Juu fired a barrage of medium sized ki blasts at Gohan. Gohan realized that he couldn't dodge them, so he created an energy barrier to block them. The barrage surrounded him with dust. Gohan scanned his surroundings, listening for any signs of movement.
"Got you!" Juu came up from behind Gohan and got him into a full nelson.
"Darn you!" Gohan couldn't get free. He tried to headbutt her, but her arms were too strong and kept his head bent forward.
"Struggled all you want. You can't get me in this hold." An evil smirk came onto her face. "I on the other hand can bend your head forward and snap it. Looks like this fight is over."
"No it's not!" Gohan unwrapped his tail from around his waist, and used it to pry off one of her arms. He then elbowed her with his free arm, stunning the cyborg for a few moments. He then took hold of her other arm that was still under his armpit and used it as leverage to throw her.
Juu caught herself moments before slamming into the mountain where he ship was. She saw Gohan vanish and tried frantically looked from side to side. Where is he? I've got to find him! He's dangerous, even though he isn't a super saiyan!
Juu spotted Gohan flying away. He was heading towards King Cold.
Even though I'm a saiyan, I have to find King Cold. That is my prime objective; this fight is of secondary importance. Gohan was closing in, when Juu suddenly came in front of him.
"Going somewhere. I thought you had dignity."
Gohan growled. "I don't have time for this! I have to get King Cold! Then we can kill each other!"
"You mean I can kill you, and I won't let you get away. I could care less about this King Cold person. Now fight me!" Juu lodged her fist in Gohan's gut.
Gohan bent over from the pain, and his chin fell on Juu's shoulder. He was able to overcome the pain, and knee Juu in the gut.
The cyborg was also in pain, and she bent over so that her chin was on Gohan's shoulder.
There was an awkward pause as the two fighters split up to recover from their injuries.
Gohan smirked. "This might be more fun than I thought. Too bad I'll have to end this quickly, but Vegeta's gonna be mad if he found out that I let Cold escape for a fight."
Juu also smirked. "You actually think you can beat me? You're sadly mistaken. I was able to defeat your father." Although, it might have been a fluke, since Goku was having some sort of heart attack when I killed him.
"My father was naïve. He didn't make sure he finished Frieza off for good. He probably let his guard down on you."
"Believe what you want Gohan, but the fact is that I have energy that is constantly replenished, while you exhaust your energy. You might be fighting evenly with me now, but that should change soon enough."
"My energy doesn't exhaust that easily, and you're bound to make a mistake before then."
They both resumed their fighting stance. Juu decided to take the initiative and tried to feint a punch, and surprise Gohan with a kick. Gohan didn't fall for it, and used an afterimage to distract Juu. He appeared behind her and elbowed her. He spun around with the momentum of that attack, and extended his arm.
"Galic Crusher!" Gohan fired his signature move at Juu, who was unable to dodge it.
"Not that easy!" Juu created an energy shield that blocked the attack.
Gohan flew forward and started exchanging blows with Juu.
They were both unaware that King Cold was watching them.
"Sire, the emergency spaceship is ready for take off."
"Very good captain. I am so very grateful for that young girl showing up when she did. Now Gohan won't be able to catch up to me."
King Cold followed the captain into a large ship, shaped like a crescent moon with a sphere in the concave side. Two cylinders on the convex side doubled as supports and rocket engines. The sphere was the front of the ship, and the ship was turned so that it pointed up.
Gohan and Juu were still locked in combat. Gohan grabbed Juu's hair, and head butted her. Juu kneed Gohan in the gut to break the grip he had on her hair, and lifted him by the throat. She then proceeded to slap his face relentlessly. Gohan swung both his legs forward, and made contact with Juu's gut. Juu let go of Gohan's throat as she went flying back and landed in the grass.
Gohan extended his finger and pointed it at Juu. "Flash Pulse!" A blinding flash of light, similar to Tien's solar flare confused Juu temporarily.
Juu stood up and rubbed the back of her head. "Where are you?"
"It's over." Gohan had gotten behind Juu. His arm was extended and his thumb, middle, and index fingers were pointing at Juu. "I could kill you with my Galic Crusher if I wanted, but I've made my point. Now I have to stop King Cold."
Gohan left Juu to come to grips with her defeat while he flew towards King Cold. His eyes widened as he saw the ship taking off.
"No!" Gohan flew at top speed, but couldn't catch the ship in his weakened state. He pulled a small device out of a pouch in his armor and threw it with all his might.
The device made contact with the surface of the ship and attached itself firmly.
Gohan breathed heavily as he watched the ship exit the atmosphere. I'm sorry Vegeta. I failed you. But we can still track Cold down. I will make up for my failure.
Juu felt bitter about her defeat. She was clenching her fists and gritting her teeth. How? How could he defeat me? He wasn't even a super saiyan or whatever that is! I will make him pay!
Gohan was too busy staring at Cold's ship to notice Juu coming behind him. He was taken completely by surprise as Juu crashed into his back, and trapped him in a crushing bear hug.
"You'll pay for humiliating me!" Juu flew towards the ground and slammed into it with Gohan beneath her. His body took most of the impact.
"Hey!" Gohan had a bloody nose, and was too weak to get free. "Let go! Get off me!"
The enraged Juu began charging energy in the palms of her hands, which were still under Gohan's belly.
"What do we have here?"
Both of them looked up and saw Vegeta. He was still in his super saiyan state and had a smirk on his face. Gohan and Juu both blushed involuntarily when they realized how compromising their position was. Juu quickly removed her hands from underneath Gohan and got off of him. They were still blushing when they got to their feet.
"Um…Vegeta…this isn't what it looks like." Gohan had a nervous expression on his face.
Vegeta's smirk turned into a broad grin. "Well then what is it Gohan? Are saying that you were actually held up by her in a battle?"
Juu frowned at Vegeta. "I'm not a weakling Vegeta."
Vegeta smirked. "Really? I can understand you being stronger than most, but compared to a super saiyan…you're absolutely nothing." Vegeta then noticed that he couldn't sense her power level. "You must be partly mechanical."
Juu growled. "I am, and I'll show you how farfetched that super saiyan legend is!" Juu charged at Vegeta and tried to punch him.
Vegeta casually tilted his head to the side, avoiding the punch. He then countered with his own punch, sending Juu flying back. She skidded a few feet before stopping herself.
Vegeta crossed his arms and smirked. "Give up. It's obvious that you're no match for me."
Juu grumbled something and stood off to the side as Vegeta turned to Gohan.
"So King Cold got away."
"Yes Vegeta. I'm sorry." Gohan pointed to Juu. "I would've caught him if she hadn't held me up."
Juu glared at Gohan.
"I was able to plant a tracking device on his ship. We should be able to track him down."
Vegeta nodded, and a mischievous grin crossed his face. Gohan gulped nervously. "I have an idea boy. Since you lost King Cold, you should be the one to track him down."
"Yes Vegeta. Thanks for giving me a second chance."
"There's one more thing."
"What might that be?" Gohan's nervousness was showing.
Vegeta pointed to Juu. "Take her with you."
"What?" Gohan and Juu both said in unison.
"That's right. Since she was the one who held you up, she has to help you get King Cold. Don't worry. I'm sure you two will be fine." Vegeta then turned to Juu. "Don't you dare kill him, or I'll make you wish you were never born."
Juu nodded. I can't believe how strong the saiyans are! They're much stronger than in my world. I'll have to listen to Vegeta, or be destroyed; besides, I should be able to tolerate Gohan until with catch that freak.
"I guess we should go now." Gohan pulled out a white disk from a pouch in his armor. He pressed a red button in the center of the disk and tossed it like a Frisbee. The disk expanded in mid air and became a spaceship. Gohan opened the hatch and started to board. He then turned to Juu. "Come on Juu. We're going."
Juu shrugged her shoulders and followed him into the ship.
The ship took off after a few minutes. Vegeta maintained a smirk as he watched the ship leave. This is going to be interesting. I'll be sure to check on those two periodically.
Back on Earth, the Z-fighters and their families were still mourning for Goku, but they also realized that they had to find Juuhachigou before she found another planet to terrorize.
Bulma had prepared everything they would need for the voyage. The team sent into space would be Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Chaotzu.
"Goodbye you guys. Guess this means I'll be the strongest on Earth until you return."
Tien put a hand on Yamcha's shoulder. "Our home is in your hands now friend."
Yamcha nodded to Tien. "I'll take care of everyone."
Bulma came out to say goodbye as well. "Good luck everyone."
Trunks had the urge to wince when Yamcha put a hand on Bulma's shoulder. He still hadn't gotten used to that. He couldn't understand why they were still together, but it made sense since there was no one else around on Earth.
The five warriors boarded the ship. They each took a seat and started the launch sequence.
Trunks was becoming impatient, even as the ship started to blast off and leave the stratosphere. We have to find that android! It's a good thing we can track the signature of that other spaceship.
Piccolo became curious about something. "Hey Trunks."
"Yes Piccolo?"
"That android…was she the one that killed me?"
"Yes…she was. She also killed Tien and Chaotzu."
"Then that means we'll be avenging our counterparts."
"That's correct." Trunks became quiet for a few minutes until another idea came into his head. "My father…Vegeta, he's in space with Gohan right?"
They all nodded the affirmative.
"Then we might be able to find them and get their help."
Krillin became slightly nervous. "The saiyans are…an aggressive race. They might attack us."
Piccolo shook his head. "I doubt Vegeta would pass up the chance for a good fight, and they might want to avenge Goku since he was the one who freed them of Frieza."
"Actually…if this world is like mine, Frieza wouldn't have died in the battle on Namek."
Everyone's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" asked Piccolo.
"He blew up the planet. Goku survived, and so did he. He then came to Earth at a date approximately a year after that and was finally killed by Goku there. His father was with him. They were both killed."
Krillin gulped nervously. "Great. On top of the android we have to deal with Frieza and his father?"
Tien shook his head. "It's been ten years since the time he was supposed to come. His father might be out there, but chances are that he's dead."
Chaotzu nodded in agreement. "Tien's right, besides, we shouldn't worry about him with Trunks and Piccolo here. It's the android we really have to worry about."
A beeping noise ended the topic of Frieza.
Trunks typed on the keyboard of the ship's computer. "There it is. The ship has landed on a planet not too far from here. It should only take a day to get there."
Krillin became nervous again. "Then no training we do should make a difference unless Trunks nearly kills himself and eats a senzue bean."
Trunks drew his sword. "Maybe I should stab myself and eat a senzue bean to grow stronger."
Krillin stood up and waved his arms. "I was just joking Trunks, lighten up."
"We should all eat, sleep, and do anything else that would prepare us for the fight," said Piccolo.
The others all nodded. They separated and did there own thing to prepare for a battle they thought would happen tomorrow.
This is the begining of the King Cold saga. What are your thoughts on the battle between Gohan and Juu? I am also debating wether or not I should make Krillin fall in love with Juu to form a potential love triangle.
