The Dragon's Quest
Yes people. The story is amazingly back online. Only took me half a year, who would have thought?
And after one hundred thousand views! It's simply amazing!
And sorry for being late too. I just wanted to update the three new chapters so to not leave cliffhangers. Actually, I did leave a cliffhanger so you can see how evil I truly am with those people that only try to bitch me around and do nothing for their lives. See how live sucks, now?
Many readers of this story have Guest reviewed about the first chapters and how they were written. I do have to admit, and I think I wrote this on Chapter 1, this is my first story. I started it when I was a rookie in Fanfic. I already fixed some of the most obvious mistakes and put more coherent sentences. Specially the fight against Black Adam. Man, how wrong could I be with just one chapter? But as people say, hindsight is twenty/twenty.
I will also write a new version of Dragon's Quest but once this first version is over so we have a couple of months before that happens.
Oh, and for the Bills fan. Sorry, but I never planned for him to appear. By the time I was inventing this story, Toriyama was still thinking what kind of creature to use for the character so I was kind of in the dark there and never knew who Bills was until the movie was on theaters. Sorry for the cat fans. I'm more fan of Bills than Super Saiyan God so you see which one would be likely to appear, if I ever decide.
Still enjoy the three chapters and stop trying to bite more than what you can chew. Because these chapters are exactly that. They are a bit shorter than usual but just because I cut straight to the point. Or something similar to that.
Enjoy!
Chapter 21: Attack from the Past, part 1
Almost three weeks passed from the planet-shattering fight between the monster Doomsday and Vegito. The fight had become one of the most popular legends of the League and the entire world. After all, not everyday you can see a being capable of destroying the Ultimate Weapon as if it was nothing but a common annoyance.
That same mentioned mighty Saiyan of Legends was currently lying peacefully in the ground of the Watchtower's Arboretum under the shadow of a palm tree, having some time to relax and lay down. Yet, there was something different with him. His normal widow peak of black hair was now flowing down in cascade, reaching his waist. And instead of been golden, his hair had now a more white coloration. His muscles were also bulkier though his body was not suffering from strain, energy lost or anything else that was regular thing when assuming the strongest-known transformation of his race.
This had been Vegito's new training plan for the last two weeks. After seen that every enemy he fought had forced him to ascend into Super Saiyan, Vegito understood that the next enemy might be too powerful, even for his almighty Super Saiyan Three. For that, Vegito had remained transformed as a Super Saiyan 3 for the last two weeks, though not while asleep. The same thing did Goku while controlling the Super Saiyan before fighting Cell, and also with the Super Saiyan Two while on the Other World. With this training, his body would master the transformation, allowing him to reduce the energy lost and to use the full scope of his powers without his body suffering the consequences after that.
Of course, easy said than done. Whereas Vegito would normally need just two Senzu Beans per day to keep his energy, he needed one every half hour just to remain transformed. Of course, now that he had full control over the form, his hunger had gone back to normal even transformed as of now. He didn't care about the beans either. He had plenty of them in his ship and in New Hope.
Yet his feeding problems weren't the important ones. Fighting normal criminals and villains with the most powerful transformation ever achieved by a Saiyan was like comparing little sparks with a blue star, a hundred times bigger and brighter than the Sun.
Vegito remembered one particular fight he had. Just a week after initiating his training, The power-repressed had stopped a bank robbery by the hand of Chita in Florida. The furry woman was one of Wonder Woman's most powerful enemies. To Vegito though, she was nothing. The Saiyan didn't even need to use the Kaioken to beat her. As he was already transformed, he thought that only a simple Kiai would work against. It did. Better said, it 'overdid'. The 'simple' Kai, had been strong enough to send her, literally, to Alaska. By deities' miracle, she was still alive. Yet, since they have found her she had been in coma. As far as Vegito knew, the villainess had not woken up yet.
Suddenly, a blurry red figure jumped over the resting Saiyan. However, The restrained fighter simply disappeared in the air much more faster and swifter. He reappeared a microsecond later in front of the intruder. He had dark red hair and a red/yellow outfit.
"Damn it, even after training, I still can't catch you" Flash said in a grumpy tone. Vegito smiled. Flash surely had improved his abilities with his training. Yet, it didn't matter against a super Saiyan 3, even one, who was powered down.
"Well, you can improve even more, if you really push yourself to do so" The ascended Saiyan advised, his pal shrugging in response "By the way, have you seen Zatanna?" Wally smiled by that.
"If I'm correct, she's kicking Canary's butt" Flash said with mirth in his tone. Now that was something interesting. Vegito grabbed Wally's arm, teleporting to the gym in microseconds.
Dinah Lance had always been the best fighter in the Justice League. She had trained for years with the toughest martial artists that existed on Earth. She had taken down villains that outclassed her in both strength and in speed. She had trained the Young Justice with all the movements and techniques she knew. She had been the first one to actually defeat Superboy without needing to hit him. Never she expected to found a match, in the figure of her old teammate Zatanna Zatara.
It had been half an hour since the sparring began, and Dinah didn't even landed a scratch on Zatanna. The sorceress had been dodging Canary's karate fists and kung fu kicks without even trying. Vegito's training had really payed off in more ways than one.
The entire Justice members were looking aghast how the best fighter they had, not counting Vegito, was not only not beating Zatanna, but also losing. Canary grunted, as she tried landing a spinning roundhouse, only for Zatanna to dodge easily, as if it was nothing. With a final exertion, Canary through a right hook, only for Zatanna to easily dodge it back. Dinah fell forward, now tired. Zatanna only walked up to her, touching her forehead. Behind her simple attack, there was a lot of concentrated strength. Dinah fell unconscious to the ground, totally out of breath.
"Well, how did I do it?" The raven-haired sorceress asked innocently, knowing that many had their mouths opened by her display. Or better to her lack of display, because she did nothing to attack Dinah.
"Great" Flash stated, raising his two thumbs up in approval. He was apparently the only one still able to talk some coherent sentences. Of course the speedster was the only one than knew so far that she was with Vegito and that implied more than just dates.
"Alright people, ogling time is over, go back to your duties before Batman decides to give you the glare" Flash suggested everyone moving back to their jobs.
"That was a nice show" The white-haired fighter said towards his mate with a barely hidden smile.
"Quite boring if I have to review it" The raven-haired replied half serious and half-joking. She tried to take her gloved hand out but found it entangled in the golden mess of long hair. She grunted in annoyance. As powerful as the Super Saiyan Three could be, it was more of an intimacy hindrance "And Super Saiyan three is just as annoying"
"The correct term is amusing" The Saiyan stated getting a nudge in the arm. He sighed, relaxing his powers, his body losing some bulkiness and his hair returning to blackness "You really can't take a joke, can you?"
"Not when they are as bad as Flash's" Zatanna joked now at her friend's expenses.
"HEY!" The speedster showed up out of nowhere insulted a bit. A double glare silenced Wally and he sped off before someone decided to snap his neck. That way his bad jokes managed to live another day.
"Now that's taken care off, how about you show me New Hope" The Mistress of Magic asked, her sultry tone not missed to the Saiyan's keen hearing. Saying he owned a planet could be a quite turn on for the ladies.
The Man of Steel was currently on Monitor Duty, taking J'onn's works, who decided to take some mission on Earth. Even though the Martian could survive the monotony of the job, he still needed to clear his head. Weird pun intended for a powerful telepath like him.
The Kryptonian barely felt it, but a sudden sharp thing cut his left cheek, before a sudden strike to the back of his head sent him crashing against the other side of the room, denting the metal wall. The Man of Steel regained his senses, looking at Diana, who was looking back with an evil grin on her face. Her eyes were amazingly purple-colored by some reason.
"Diana, what are you..." The question was cut short by a dash and fist to the face, which Superman managed to dodge by side-stepping to his left. The Amazon's fist went through the wall without a problem.
"Diana, stop!" The Kryptonian commanded but was not answered back. His only response was a sudden fist coming at him punching him clear into the computer system. Wires and cables exploded into sparks, the screens blinking slightly before shutting down. Clark rubbed his head in pain. He kind of forgot how hard Diana could truly hit.
Before he had done anything, the Amazon had taken a knife out of a sheath, slashing in diagonal way through Clark's chest. The solar-powered alien winced in pain. It wasn't everyday that something could cut him. Though on these days it was happening all too much for his liking.
Due to the magical properties of the knife's blade, the cut would take much more time to heal. Time that was plenty enough for the purple-eyed creäture inside the Amazon Princess. A creäture slid off Diana's inside through her mouth, the grey matter jumping towards the opened flesh. The Man of Steel barely saw the thing coming to him, before it slipped through the new injury inside Superman's body.
"Now, the second act" The possessed solar alien said with a small grin, speeding off into another place of the Watchtower. In a second, the Kryptonian arrived outside the kitchen, waiting. His ki sensing allowed the invading parasite to find the man he wanted in seconds.
Indeed the next second Wally walked outside the kitchen, carrying two three-feet-long Subway sandwiches, which for the speedster were a little snack before some action.
"Hey Flash" Superman said greeting his friend, his voice sounding normal for the time being.
"Hey Sup, something going on?" Flash asked, not realising the purple-eyed menacing stare the Kryptonian was sending him. Before someone realised, The overshadowed alien sped off, attacking his Justice friend. Even with his senses increased by training on high gravity, the red spandex speedster had never expected an attack from the good-old Superman. The Man of Steel landed a gut fist that bent the speedster over in agony. Flash spilled some blood, his knees hitting the ground shakily. The fastest man alive clutched his belly in hot pain. Even with his new resistance and stamina, a fist that could destroy something bigger than a mountain range wasn't something easy to take head on and survive unscathed.
The last thing Wally saw was the purple eyes of a creäture in front of him. Then everything went black for him.
The silver-skinned Captain Atom arrived in the Hangar inside a Javelin, after easily taking care of a volcano eruption in the northern part of Russia. No one said it, but apparently the fight between Vegito and Doomsday had caused a sudden increment in the volcano activity. Even inside former dormant places.
Just as the Dilustel man walked outside the aircraft, a red blur tackled him to the other side of the room. The silver man stood up, barely shaken by that simple kind of attack. He could see Flash standing in front of him. The amazing thing was that he was silent.
"Flash, what are you doing?" The Speedster never replied, weird for him, and again landed several mighty punches all over the silver armor. Though the blows could kill villains like Bane or even Mammoth, Captain Nathaniel was only annoyed by them. Charging his energies, the former soldier expelled a shock wave that sent Wally backwards and hitting hard the wall.
Another blur impacted Atom from behind. This time, it was Superman. The Kryptonian grabbed the Dilustel man in a bear-hug lock. Nathaniel didn't understand what was going on, but it was obvious that nothing good. His eyes shone red, firing a red solar eye blast. The Kryptonian grew weaker in strength while Atom increased his own energies to augment his strength higher than the Man of the Steel. The empowered man broke his grip and fired continuous left and rights hooks to Superman's face with his hands shinning red. The augmented strength mixed with the Red Sun radiation caused the solar alien to recoil backwards, his powers diminishing with each red-charged blow.
A final uppercut sent the Man of Steel spiraling head over heels almost knocked out cold. But as soon as the Dilustel man stepped forward, two figures tackled him down to the ground, the two power females Wonder Woman and Power Girl keeping him locked.
"Wonder Woman, Power Girl, what are you doing?!" The former soldier asked but got no response. The scarlet speedster had already recovered from the injuries. However, his body spasmed something contorting from his very insides.
Then Flash vomitied. But whatever came out wasn't his launch. It was something far more disgusting than that. A shapeless mass that slowly sludged its way near the former soldier. In front of him, Nathaniel could see all of his friends with the same eye color. The Justice League had failed.
And Atom couldn't change his new fate. The grey parasite entered his system, taking it over as any parasite would do. Captain started choking, trying to stop whatever or whoever had entered his body of doing something evil. Yet it proved useless. Captain fell on his knees, his silver eyes closed. But once they re-opened, they were dark purple. His silver face was marked by purple lines. And the smirk on his mouth didn't make him less threatening.
The widow peak-haired Saiyan turned his head around, an energy appearing in his ki radar millions of miles away. Something was going awry in the green world. Something that ringed the alarm in his guts.
"Okay this gravity is really a push over" The sorceress stated with a half joke, her spells increasing her strength to withstand the high pressure of the Senzu planet. As powerful as she currently was, the gravity would still take some time getting used to. But the amazing views of unblemished nature were just mind-staggering.
"Zee, we have to go" The Saiyan stated and leaving no tone for a reply.
"Why?" The sorceress asked worried. Her boyfriend didn't sound serious... well, never. He had never took things as very serious or life-threatening. Just as things.
"Something is happening on Earth" The blue-dressed fighter replied to his mate. He didn't know what could be going on. But it sure as Hell wasn't something he would like.
The Saiyan-Sorceress couple teleported into the Watchtower, already feeling uneasy about this. The place had a new dark energy around it. Energy that Vegito found very familiar and unsettling. The two heroes were walking through deserted aisles, no energy from their friends nearby.
"Well, look what we have here?" The entire league members, nearly the twenty of them were all staring at the widow-peak Saiyan. Floating above everyone was Captain Atom. But his silver eyes were now of a dark purple shade, and the aura of darkness that brimmed around his body was unrecognizable. And evil too.
"It's nice to see you haven't aged a day since our last encounter, Saiyan" The purple-eyed Atom said with a new high-pitched voice. The Saiyan's eyes opened slightly in shock before narrowing in a frown. Vegito would recognise that damn tone anywhere anytime.
"Baby"
Notes of Chapter 20:
I consider that both Goku and Vegeta mastered the first two Super Saiyan transformations (Goku obviously did it, if he transformed into Super Saiyan 3)
Vegito never mastered his Super Saiyan 3 because he never had the need to fight someone stronger than him.
Don't worry, things will be explained eventually.
Well, someone has come and guess who just so happen to be? See next chapter!
