Chapter Twenty one

Armageddons devastation attack;

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

Armageddon looks down at the body of Gohan. Despite the pain throughout his body he continues to smile. Maybe it was the screams around him. Maybe it was his victory over Gohan. Maybe it was the satisfying way Gohan's neck snapped under his elbow. Whatever it was, it gave him a wonderful tingle that only a sadist could enjoy.

Videl was empty. Her eyes were filled with tears that were on the brink of flooding out but for the sake of quickly fading hope she held them back. She could only stare now into the eyes of her dead fiance. The blood in her face was quickly draining and her knees finally gave way and she fell to the ground. Ignoring the towering killer in front of her Videl crawls over to Gohan and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Gohan... please... move...blink...anything..."

Chichi couldn't believe it, her eldest son was killed right in front of her. She only managed to shed a single tear before she fainted. Nobody even noticed it due to their own shock and horror and so Chichi simply collapsed onto the hard ground.

Goku and Vegeta were both in shock. It all seemed impossible that Gohan would fall from such a simple attack but every second that passed made it more and more believable. Gohan was face down on the ground. His lifeless face staring at everyone in a final moment of horror. His once blond hair now black again. The first person to even be able to breath though was Piccolo. His horse voice piercing the drums of every working ear around him.

"GOOOHAAAANNN!"

Despite his vast intellect and fighting experience the sight of his fist pupil and best friend laying dead before him wile this thing smiled in grim satisfaction proved to be to much for the Namek warrior. Piccolo takes off straight for Armageddon with his hand drawn back. He slashes at Armageddons head but Armageddon nimbly skips back. Piccolo yells as he charges back at him and begins to strike at him with his palms open. Armageddon dodges them all.

Vegeta is the next to get over his shock. He glares at Armageddon wile he dodges all of Piccolos attacks with ease. He charges at Armageddon to fight along side Piccolo. On his way he powers up to his max and leads with his first. Armageddon barley manages to duck under it wile avoiding another clawing attack from Piccolo.

Eighteen was in denial now. In her time she had been transformed into a literal killing machine, then hunted by some green freak and rescued by one of the same people she once sought to kill, then she fell in love with that same person only to have him taken from her not once but twice now. She knew Gohan was stronger then she could ever hope to become however all of that strength did nothing for him now. She slowly looks down at the fallen Chichi wile Piccolo and Vegeta attack this new terror. She gently takes a knee and scoops up the mother of Gohan and looks down at her with respect.

'You've had your loved ones taken from you so many times. How do you do it?'

Videl was starting to feel queasy now. She was so out of it that she didn't even notice Tien lean down and, as gently as the moment permitted, scoop her up. She could see Gohan's body become more and more distant but the whole thing just didn't register. She could only continue to replay the scene over and over in her head. One moment he was there and the next he was gone.

Tien had already collected Videl and he moved over to Bulma who was crying so hard she really couldn't see.

"Come on Bulma! We have to get out of here wile we can!"

Bulma doesn't even respond, she just accepts Tien's invitation. Tien looks over to Eighteen.

"Lets go!"

Eighteen nods and the two fly off.

Goku was still recovering from shock as well. His own anger was quickly growing but he fought to maintain some sense of clarity. Finally, he calmed himself down enough to think straight but to say that he wasn't pissed off would be a sever lie. Goku turns to face Armageddon just in time to see the effects from a huge explosion.

Vegeta was getting madder and madder. Not only had this thing threatened his wife, it had also killed one of the few beings that possessed saiyan blood and, despite it's injuries it was still putting up more of a fight then he could contend with. Vegeta's rage boiled more and more until...

Piccolo was doing what he could but Armageddon was just to fast. It was everything he could just to stay close enough to hit him, much less hit him hard enough to cause any real damage. Piccolo was cursing himself inwardly for not training harder. He had relied on the saiyans way to much. His only hope was to land a lucky blow and that is just what he did.

Piccolo swung his lead leg out at Armageddons head to which he ducked under but Piccolo followed through and spun completely around and kicked with the heel of his rear legs foot and caught Armageddon right in his crushed shoulder. The victory was short lived however.

The pain from Armageddons shoulder was incredible and the pain made his head light. He hollers out like a raging bull at a bull fight that had just been stabbed by a matadors sword. He zooms backwards but Vegeta was hot on his trail. From the corner of his eye he could see several people flying away and he could not allow them to escape.

Armageddon decided it was time to go on the offensive. He stopped so suddenly in the air that Vegeta would have probably shot right past him. Instead Armageddon simply stuck his good arm out and cloths lined the saiyan prince. Piccolo wasn't to far behind but Armageddon didn't care.

Armageddon threw his arm into the sky and yelled as he produced a massive energy bomb from his core. The explosion went off right in Piccolos face, there was nothing he could do but yell as the upper half of his body was incinerated. The lower half fell to the ground, cauterized at the waste from the intense heat. Vegeta avoided the blast but the resulting wind sent him flying backwards.

Tien and Eighteen were beginning to feel that this time they may actually get far enough away to hide from this thing, but the winds that suddenly hit them quickly overwhelmed them and they soon lost control and realized they had to land. Once again they were at the creatures mercy. The winds and rough flight began to bring Videl from her daze and Chichi began to wake back up.

Goku watched Piccolos lower half sink from the sky. He didn't want to believe any of this was possible but he had to. With a final glance at his sons body he makes his move. With an explosion of golden power he powers up to his fullest and blasts off to meet Armageddon in battle. It doesn't take him all that long to meet the snickering abomination. Goku flies right at him with his fist out. Armageddon punches at Goku's face but all he hits is Goku's after image. Armageddon only glances over his shoulder in time to receive the heel from Goku's boot right to his face.

Vegeta was now recovered from his nearly collapsed windpipe and he was already back in motion to join Kakarot in the fight. With a strained yell he charges a ki blast in each hand. As soon as Goku kicks Armageddon Vegeta is right in his path. Vegeta snaps his hands together and fires a powerful blast at Armageddon. The blast meets with him and pushes him right back.

Goku was about to follow up his attack with another when he noticed Vegeta intercepting Armageddon. He sees Vegeta's attack make a direct hit but Armageddon was holding the energy wave at bay. Without hesitation Goku mirrors Vegeta's attack and shoots out his own attack. Armageddon looks behind him with wide eyes. Had he not been injured so badly this would all be child's play but in his current state this was becoming more of a challenge then he had bargained for.

Goku's energy wave collided with Armageddon and he was trapped between the two beams. Still, he was holding them both at bay and to both Vegeta's and Goku's surprise, he was starting to push them both back. For a moment Armageddon was beginning to feel in control again. That is until he began to take the force from two other very pissed off combatants.

"TRI-BEAM HA!"

"PIERCING HOPE!"

Videl had finally come out of her daze and she shook her head. Her anger quickly began to rise.

'How dare he.' Her minds voice was thick with anger. She could feel her entire body tremble from the rage that was welling up inside her. She could feel her baby kicking inside and this for some reason made her even angrier. Tien could sense her energy rising in waves and he knew what she was about to do. He smirked as he looked back over to Goku and Vegeta who had just locked their beams on Armageddon.

"Well, this won't be the first time I attacked someone who had me out classed in strength a hundred times over."

Eighteen and Bulma glance at him in mild confusion. Then, without warning, Tien blasts off to join the fight. Eighteen was only a little discomforted at the sudden bravery but what blew her mind was when Videl took off right after him. Eighteen was now torn between helping them and staying put with Chichi who was still coming out of her faint and Bulma who was watching the fight with her hands together in a praying manner.

'Vegeta...' Was all the blue haired woman could think.

Armageddon was having the struggle of his life now. He was feeding all of his energy into a barrier that would neither grow nor shrink. It was a complete stalemate for now and the only question he could think to ask himself was who would tire first. Suddenly he could feel his barrier begin to give way at one of the points and he was shocked to notice who was breaking through it.

'That bitches attack is breaking through!'

Videl's attack was somehow breaking down the energy shield and was threatening to destroy it completely. With the last of his energy Armageddon focused on patching the small break. Finally, Armageddon began to notice one of the energy waves was dying down. He made note of which it was and decided that the instant it was weak enough, he would attack that nuisance first. To help speed that along he allowed his shield to decrease slightly.

Chichi had finally woke up and she sat up but swayed back and forth. Eighteen was at her side in an instant. Chichis eyes only crack open for a moment before they shoot all the way open. She grabs onto Eighteens collar and shakes her.

"What happened? Wheres my baby! Wheres Goha-"

Chichis questions get cut short when she notices Gohan's orange gi a little ways away. She almost faints again when she notices something else.

"Wheres Videl!"

Eighteen looks down at Chichi with regret. She doesn't say a word, only moves to the side and lets Chichi witness her daughter-in-law engaged in combat. Before Chichi can scream though a flash of light erupts from where everyone was fighting and another body is sent crashing down. Eighteen watched in the hopes it was the creature. The figure that had impacted the earth stands for only a moment but then collapses back down. Eighteen could tell from his figure that it was not Armageddon.

Goku could see Armageddons shield decrease and he began to feel victory approach. He began to feed more energy into his attack when the shield suddenly broke and everyone's attacks collided with one anothers. The resulting explosion and light momentarily blinded everyone from seeing what would happen next.

Armageddon once again slipped away just before the blasts collided with him. Wile everyone was blinded he hurried and got behind the one who's attack was weakening. He quickly spun around to gain momentum and before Vegeta can even open his eyes, Armageddon slams his heel into the side of Vegeta's head. Vegeta grunts loudly from the impact and spins several times before he finally smashes into the earth.

Bulma squinted her eyes from the blinding light. She eased them open just slightly and noticed the same as Eighteen. Outwardly she had hopped it was Armageddon but inwardly she felt as though she had just been punched. She held a hand over her swollen stomach. Her unborn child was wiggling wildly in her stomach and Bulma knew now before she even looked up that something had happened to Vegeta. She stared at the impact site and quickly had her worries confirmed.

"VEGETA!"

Bulma tries to run over to him but Eighteen catches her by the arm. Bulma glares at Eighteen with tears pouring out. She jerks her arm a few times.

"Let me go! He's hurt!"

Eighteen held firm but said nothing. There was nothing she could say.

Vegeta lies motionless for a second before he pushes himself up. His body shakes and he struggles to move. His ears feel like they are filled with cotton, his legs are weak and everything seems to go in slow motion. He climbs his way out of his crater and takes only a few steps before he collapses onto the ground, not conscious but not unconscious at the same time.

As the smoke clears from where everyone's attack had impacted blows away Goku looks over to the silhouette where Vegeta was. A small smirk crosses his face. As soon as the smoke clears he notices the crimson eyes of Armageddon staring back at him. His smirk quickly turns to a shocked expression. He subconsciously floats back.

"But... How!"

Videl was breathing heavily. She had poured everything she had into her attack and then some. But as soon as she noticed that Armageddon was undamaged by the combined attack she instantly felt a wave of fear wash over her. Tien had already noticed Armageddon as well and he did the first thing he could do despite his sever exhaustion. He fazed over to Videl and grabbed her by her arm and fled the scene.

Armageddon watched as Videl and Tien hurried away and quickly refocused on Goku. He could see the unsure expression on Goku's face and this made Armageddon feel all that much better. Goku meanwhile was racking his brain trying to come up with a plan when a large explosion got his attention. Both he and Armageddon turned just in time to see the source.

"FU-SION-HA!"

Goten and Trunks blasted their way from where they were after Trunks could barley sense his father and Goten all but couldn't sense his brother. The two tiny saiyans wasted no more time. They quickly powered up to the same level and began the goofy but deadly dance of fusion. Armageddon watched in complete confusion as the two kids touched fingers and in a brilliant flash of light became one being.

"What a peculiar technique." Armageddon mumbles under his breath.

Goku smiles as super saiyan three Gotenks floats up to him. Gotenks was smirking at Armageddon with a cocky smirk. Goku turns back to Armageddon.

"I'm glad to see you decided to join us Gotenks, between you and me, we should have no trouble defeating this guy."

Gotenks looks over to Goku from the corner of his eye.

"Whats this we stuff? I plan on killing this guy all by myself."

Goku glares at Gotenks in frustration.

"What are you talking about! He's already killed Piccolo and Gohan!"

Gotenks looks over to Goku between mild confusion and mild interest.

"Oh? I knew he killed Piccolo but I thought Gohan was just really hurt."

Now Goku is confused. Gotenks smiles at the way Goku's face turned a light shade of pale and then he turns back to Armageddon.

"I'll let you figure it out. I have an epic battle to win!"

Before Goku could stop him Gotenks was on his way. Armageddon took off as well.

Tien and Videl landed back by Chichi, Eighteen and Bulma and collapsed in exhaustion. Bulma was at Tien's side in seconds and Eighteen was at Videl's along with Chichi.

"Well... That sure as hell... didn't work..." Tien says between breaths.

Before Chichi could scold Videl for being so foolish to fight wile she was pregnant the explosion from Goten and Trunks now held everyone's attention. When the two fused it once again fueled a small sliver of hope.

"Double trouble beam!"

Gotenks shoots out a beam from each hand at Armageddon which he easily dodges.

"Atomic blast!"

Gotenks shoots another beam in an identical way that Gohan shoots the Masanko. Once again, Armageddon easily dodges the blast and Gotenks begins to get frustrated.

"Hold still!"

Wile Gotenks fires basic ki attacks with fancy names Goku stretches out his senses to Gohan. His eyes grow as wide as dinner plates and a smile crosses his face.

'Wait a second. It's faint but I'm sure of it! There may still be hope!'

Goku brings his fingers to his head and is about to use instant transmission but before he can Armageddon flies right at him with his menacing smirk. Goku quickly drops into a defensive stance but Armageddon fazes out. Goku momentarily searches the area for him but soon realizes he has a bigger problem.

Gotenks continued to fire wave after wave of energy at Armageddon and he continued to miss. His anger began to swell causing his aim to become even worse. Armageddon smiled at the child's antics.

'This brat may be powerful but he doesn't know how to fight like the others. I may be able to use this.'

Armageddon puts on a quick burst of speed and heads straight for Goku who was about to use the instant transmission.

"Now! Special fusion bomb!"

Gotenks holds his hands over his head and feeds a huge amount of energy into it. He calls out his attack and swings his hands forward sending the massive ball of energy speeding for Armageddon. Gotenks smiles and laughs to himself as the energy is right on Armageddons heels. His smile soon vanishes along with Armageddon and the attack now has a new target... Goku.

Goku takes the blast head on and it explodes sending him plummeting down. His orange fighting gi ripped and torn in every place. Gotenks rubs the back of his head with a large goofy smile.

"Uhhh, Oops."

Armageddon fazes in behind Gotenks with a wide grin. Gotenks turns around in surprise as Armageddon knees the young fighter in his back. Gotenks screams out and is silenced by Armageddons fist as he slams it into Gotenks face. Gotenks flies back a little and Armageddon grabs onto his leg and takes off to the ground. When he gets close he flings Gotenks over his shoulder and slams him into the earth.

Goku was struggling back to his feet now. A large gash over his left eye was leaking blood into his eye. He had to keep it closed but to make matters worse he was pretty sure his left arm was broken as well. He reaches over and holds it close with his other hand as he looks up into the sky where Gotenks was taking a beating of his own. He grinds his teeth a little and grows increasingly frustrated.

"Darn-it! I'm to weak to use the instant transmission now!"

Goku slowly floats into the sky and releases his arm. With a grunt he powers back up to his max and blasts off to fight Armageddon again. As he flies over two bodies, one unconscious and the other barley conscious shoot past him. He stops in mid flight and watches the two boys land and skid across the earth.

"Trunks! Goten!"

Goku turns his head back and notices Armageddon coughing up more blood.

Armageddon was enjoying beating Gotenks half to death but his energy was already low and he still had one more good fighter left. He decided that fun time was over with the kid. He raises his hand up with his palm open and smiles sadisticlly as he shoots his hand forward but Gotenks wasn't about to go down yet. Despite his broken nose and his swollen shut eye Gotenks still had some fight left.

Armageddon had his gut wide open. Gotenks took the opening and with as much force as he could muster up, he shoots his fist out and connects it with Armageddons already broken rib. His rib crushes from the blow and he doubles over in pain. He spits out blood and saliva as he struggles for breath. In a blind rage Armageddon slams his fist into Gotenks head, the force was enough to knock the two apart and they go flying.

Armageddon coughs up more blood and he can feel his limbs grow heavy.

'Damn that brat! How could a kid cause me so much damage?'

Goku flew as fast as he could over to the barley conscious Goten. As he lands Goten looks up at him with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry... daddy."

Goku takes a knee next to him and rests his hand on Goten's back.

"It's OK. You did your best son and I'm proud of you for that. Listen, there's something I need you to do for me... if I don't come back."

Goten quickly looks up despite the pain in his body. His face was full of concerns and questions. Goku leans in and tells him what he wants him to do. After a moment, Goten nods in understanding and pushes himself to his feet. Goku stands back up and faces Armageddon. He floats back up into the air and flies over to the monstrosity.

Armageddon watches Goku curiously and he smiles when he notices Goku's arm.

"I see your in similar shape as me. This should make things rather... interesting."

Goku frowns at Armageddon. "You came to this planet for nothing good. Mark my words Armageddon, one way or another you won't live long enough to regret this day!"

"Oh really? Who's going to stop me? You? Those brats? Don't make me laugh. Even in my current condition your still no match for me!"

Goku brings his hand up and spreads his legs as he settles into the best fighting stance he can.

At the same moment the two fighters charge at one another, both keeping their injured arms tucked in close. They meet in the center and clash. They both swing and their forearms catch each others. They push against each other for a moment before they shove away. Goku swings his leg up and Armageddon leans back to avoid it. He then fazes out to avoid the knee from Goku. He fazes back in at almost the same spot and snaps his arm out in a series of jabs.

Goku barley manages to dodge all the punches and at the last possible second he notices Armageddons leg blurring at him. With reflexes born of countless battles Goku manages to get his arm up just in time to block the kick and Goku responds with a kick of his own. Armageddon finally using his tail, flings it up and wraps it around Goku's leg before it can make contact.

Goku growls just before Armageddon flings him to the ground hard. Goku skids for a good ways before he finally comes to a stop. His back was burning from the friction and he struggled to open his eye back up.

Armageddon was enjoying himself again now. In just a few moments his plan would be complete. He lands on the ground and holds his arm up in front of him like a blade. His hand glows a deep purple color. He blasts off and holds himself only a few inches from the ground and with a quick motion he flings out a razor sharp ki attack headed straight for the battle worn saiyan. Goku's senses pick up on the attack and he quickly brings his legs up and pushes himself off the ground. His body arcs over the attack by inches but as soon as Goku's feet touch the ground, Armageddon is in his face. Armageddon slams his fist into Goku's face sending the saiyan warrior bouncing across the earth.

Goku finally stopped bouncing and landed a few meters away from Gohan with a sickening crunch. His jaw was broken but his body was numb. Goku was still conscious for the moment but he wasn't sure how. He looks up and with his one good eye he looks over at the body next to him. He tries to speak but his jaw won't work and it hangs loosely to the side in a disgusting way as his spit and blood pours out.

Armageddon smiles wide in satisfaction as he marches over to Goku's body.

"Your energy will feel excellent in me."

Armageddon holds his arm out and his body becomes enveloped in the same white aura as when he is traveling from planet to planet. He grunts from the effort and yells just as he is about to shoot out his beam when suddenly a pair of knees slam into his face. He stumbles back from the blow and angrily glares at the two pests.

After watching the final blow that Goku had received Videl had decided she had enough. If she was going to die then it wouldn't be without a fight! She charges her energy to it's max and Tien is taken off guard.

"Videl stop! What are you doing!"

Videl growls deeply at Tien and she glares at him and Tien feels a chill move down his spine when he realizes something new with Videl. Her aura was still it's white silvery color but... was that a... gold aura mixed in with it? Videl turns back and Tien shakes his head. He knew she wasn't a saiyan, so where did the gold in her aura come from then? Tien pushes the thoughts back and is about to take off with her when Bulma stops him.

"Don't leave us!"

Tien looks at the blue eyes piercing into him and resigns himself with a sigh to remain behind. He felt lower then dirt for letting a pregnant woman fly off to fight but at the same time he knew he couldn't leave the last three women behind.

Goten had regained most of his senses and was making his way over to Gohan. He did his best to ignore his fathers battle, he knew what his job was and if he were to see his father hurting then he would act on instinct. His time training with Gohan since right before and the time after Buu had taught him many things. Focusing on the mission was one of them. He normally would have just flown over to his brother but the drain from fusion and getting his butt kicked left him with only just enough for the task at hand and maybe a little extra if he was lucky. As he stumbled his way over to Gohan he saw the very thing he wanted to avoid and he ducked behind an overturned car.

Goten ignored the two bodies in the car he was hiding behind and watched as his father bounced on the ground and landed near Gohan. Seeing his brother in the position he was in was bad enough but now he was looking at his father as well as Goku struggled just to lift his head. Goten balled his fists and bared his teeth. When he saw Armageddon prepare to deliver the final blow he snapped. With an explosion of golden light he blasts off at Armageddon. He is soon joined by Videl and the two blaze side by side and just as Armageddon is about to use his technique, they slam their knees into the side of his face. They both land next to each other in a fighting stance with mirror images of determination and rage on their faces.

Armageddon growls at the two fighters and straightens himself out. He squares off at the two and narrows his eyes.

"How dare you strike me!"

Goku, using the last of his strength mumbles to Goten.

"Goten..."

Goten glances down at his father and fights off teas from his appearance.

"Go Goten! Your our last...hope."

Goku then looks over to the enraged Videl and notices the same aura that Tien had noticed. If he wasn't already so worn out he would for the sake of curiosity measure Videl's power. But as it stood now it took everything he had just to speak to Goten. Videl ignored the words from Goku though and kept her eyes on Armageddon.

Goten was crying now. He had to make choices that even adults shouldn't have to make. But he did so anyway as he forced himself to turn to Gohan. He placed his small hand on his brothers shoulder and two fingers to his head and in an instant, he vanished.

Goku was smiling on the inside. His last ditch effort had to work. The future of the earth and all her people were now in the hands of his sons. Armageddon on the other hand was confused as ever.

"What does that brat think he's doing?"

He turns his focus back to Videl and Goku and smirks again.

"No matter. I'll deal with it after I'm done here."

Videl braces herself for battle and Armageddon fazed out. Videl may have had the desire but she was still no match for Armageddon as he fazed in off to her side. Videl tried to block the weak blast from Armageddon but she simply couldn't and she was blown out of the area. She landed on her stomach between Armageddon and the others.

Armageddon now holds his arm out at the barley conscious Goku and the white aura returns. He grunts as he focuses his attack and with a horrible yell he shoots out a white beam. As soon as it hits Goku the saiyan warrior begins to shake violently as if having a seizure. Despite his broken jaw Goku now screams out along with Armageddon and the white beam begins to turn slightly golden. Goku's hair begins to shorten back to it's normal state and turn black.

Chichi watches her husbands torture and breaks down. She tries to run over to him but Eighteen stops her and holds her in a protective embrace. Chichi shrikes and cries loudly as she yells.

"NOOOOOOOOO! DON'T YOU DIE TO!"

"Yes! Yes! I can feel your power surging within my veins!"

With a final yell Armageddon drains the last of Goku's energy. A brilliant flash of white light explodes out and a huge gust of wind surges from the place Armageddon was. Everyone still standing shields their eyes but as quick as it came it also went. Tien was the first to lower his arm and gaze upon Armageddon.

The winds had blown Vegeta onto his back and the saiyan prince opened his eyes. The light burnt his eyes but he kept them open. He slowly pushes himself to his feet but falls back down to a knee. His head was throbbing but he shook it off. He looks up just in time to see the horror that was now reborn.

Videl was in pain and a lot of it. She knew it was useless to attack him but she had to. Now, she could feel his power and it was incredible.

Armageddon began with a chuckle, and then a full out insane laugh that made the skin of everyone with ear shot crawl. He stopped his maddening laugh and slowly opened his eyes. No longer did they simply seem to glow, now they burned a deep red. His muscles seemed to have grown as well and his crimson aura was a shade darker. His electric bolts once again cracked around him but now there seemed to be more. He turns his attention to the few remaining fighters and they all took a step back as the quivered. He then turned his attention to Videl and he smiled revealing his slightly longer fangs.

Without warning Armageddon takes off high into the sky. Tien and the others watch him, unsure of his intentions. Armageddon then angles himself and takes off back to earth like a fireball. Only when he was about to hit did they realize his target. Eighteen shielded Chichis eyes from the sight just in time but there was nothing she could do about the sound.

Bulma couldn't tear her eyes away from what she was about to see. Tien was the same way but Vegeta was the one who's blood began to boil. He couldn't believe Armageddon was about to do what he was about to do. Until it happened.

Videl was just pushing herself up when Armageddon came crashing down onto the middle of her back. His fists sank right through her back and through her unborn baby. Videl screamed out in pain, in fear and in loss. As the blood came flooding out of her mouth Armageddon stands back up, his arms soaked in the blood of two with just one hit.

Videl's vision was going dark quick. She was in more pain then she ever thought possible. Just before everything went completely dark she felt her baby move it's last, and then everything went dark. Videl was dead and so was her baby.

Armageddon leaned back to crack his back, he couldn't stop smiling at the way this new power felt and the way the bitch at his feet screamed. His attention was turned quickly to the last four people standing.

Chichi was crying so hard she couldn't speak, for once, and Eighteens eyes were wide.

"How, how could something be so strong and heartless!"

Tien turns around and faces Bulma and Eighteen.

"Eighteen, get Bulma and Chichi out of here! I'm going to try and buy you some time wile you escape!"

"No you wont."

Tien didn't have time to turn around. He could feel Armageddons immense power behind him but he still couldn't believe he was there. Bulma also couldn't believe he was there. And then, just like he had done to Yamcha. Armageddon sank his claws into Tien's back, only this time, he pushed his arm all the way through up to his elbow. His arm explodes out of Tien's chest and covers Bulma's face in sticky blood. Armageddon smiles a wicked smile as he flexes his fingers in a "bye bye" manner at Bulma.

Vegeta's power began to sky rocket as he watched Armageddon move from Videl to Tien. He sensed the creatures energy rise a fraction but he already knew what it was for. Vegeta tried to stand up but he was still to drained and he fell back on his face. He looks up and watches as Armageddon takes his next two victims.

Bulma screams at the sight before her. Tien's face was blank but fear was written all over it. Bulma turns to run away and makes it all of two steps when Armageddon fires a large blast at her. The blast incinerates her and her baby on impact.

Armageddon yanks his arm from Tien's body and the bald fighter sinks to the ground. His spirit had already left his body. He was dead as well. Armageddon began to laugh hysterically and Eighteen was bracing herself to defend herself and Chichi. Armageddon turns his glowing eyes to the two woman and licks his lips sadistically when an eruption of golden light and winds grabs his attention. They all turn to face Vegeta, the newest super saiyan three.

A/N: Well I hope that was a tad better then the last chapter. I felt bad for writing such a short chapter last time and in my opinion it wasn't that good but hopefully this one will fix that. I'm sure everyone might be noticing the path I'm going here by now. I mentioned before that everything I do will have a purpose like when Goten learned instant transmission in one of my first chapters.

The death and carnage was planned long ago but Tien's death was my wife's idea so give her the credit for that. Anyway I should get started on the next chapter and please review! It's really depressing to get 2 or 3 reviews for a 6 thousand word chapter!

Chapter twenty-two:

Buu to the rescue!;
