Dragon Ball NG Chapter 36: Gosu vs. Gosu
Gosu continued chasing after Cyber Gosu. After all, now he had not only the two balls that Gosu managed to capture before, but he now also had the ball from that neighborhood. Who knows, maybe it was the four star ball? And not only that, but he now knew that letting the Black Tie Army get a hold of the Dragon Balls was potentially disastrous. Gosu fired a Ki blast at Cyber Gosu, which he dodged. Cyber Gosu fired a blast of his own at Gosu, but Gosu deflected it. He fired a volley of blasts at his robot clone, who responded with blasts of his own.
"How long are you gonna keep up this game of cat & mouse?" Cyber Gosu asked.
"As long as it takes!" Gosu replied. He fired an even larger blast that over powered all of the smaller ones. Cyber Gosu managed to block it, but the force of the blast was still enough to send him crashing down to the ground. This triggered an explosion, and then Gosu flew down to the scene to locate his look-alike and get the Dragon Balls. He checked his Dragon Radar and followed the direction it was pointing to, yet he didn't see Cyber Gosu anywhere.
"Where did that guy go?" Gosu asked.
He looked all around the scenery and didn't see a trace of him. "Maybe he's hiding behind a tree…"
Gosu kicked a tree down and didn't see him anywhere. He kept looking around until suddenly, Cyber Gosu popped up from under the ground and elbowed Gosu in the face! He tried to fly away from the scene, but Gosu quickly got back up, flew at his clone, and knocked him to the ground. He followed up by stomping on his chest. Then, he grabbed Cyber Gosu by the leg and tossed him into the air. Gosu curled up into a ball and started spinning, which meant it was time for the…
"PINBALL ATTACK!"
Gosu launched himself in the air and hit Cyber Gosu head on in the back! Then, he followed it up with more homing attacks, until Cyber Gosu caught on and dodged one. He warped behind Gosu and then spiked him like a volleyball, sending him all the way down below! He followed it up with a blast for good measure.
"Alright, he should be down now. Now it's time to go to Dr. Miro's lab." Cyber Gosu said. He flew off, but before he could even get very far, Gosu suddenly popped up in front of him.
"How do you keep getting back up?" Cyber Gosu asked.
"You can't run away from me forever! I'm not leaving until I get the Dragon Ball, got it?" Gosu proclaimed.
"Fat chance. There's no way you're beating me!" Cyber Gosu replied. "But I guess if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!"
Right when he finished saying this, he jumped in front of Gosu and kicked him down to the ground. Then, he flew in the direction of the lab.
"Just kidding!" He taunted. "I've got no time to waste!"
But Gosu was persistent. He decided to give himself an extra boost by firing a Kamehameha at the ground to launch himself straight into Cyber Gosu. He wound up hitting him head first in the stomach. Then, he let out a huge Kiai yell, which was enough to send Cyber Gosu flying back miles! Gosu flew with him the whole way and then punched him in the face, sending him flying downward. Cyber Gosu flew through a few trees on the way down before hitting the ground hard. He slowly got back up to his feet and took a good look at where he was at. The Laboratory was very close by. He looked up and saw Gosu flying at him. There was no time. He rushed forward as fast he could, with the rocket boosts to boot. Gosu was still able to catch up to him however, and kicked him in the back. Hey, at least it got Cyber Gosu to where he wanted to go. When Cyber Gosu hit the ground, he could see the building. Gosu followed him and got a look at it.
"'Black Tie Laboratory,' huh?" Gosu observed. "This must be where you were created."
"That's right." Cyber Gosu said while slowly getting back. "And this will also be where you die!"
"Alright, let's go!" Gosu challenged.
They both dashed at each other and exchanged into a burst of attacks. They managed to perfectly counter every single one of their punches and kicks. Gosu went for a spinning kick, but Cyber Gosu was able to duck down and trip Gosu. He hit him with a punch on the way down, which sent Gosu in the air. He flew up to Gosu and elbowed in the stomach, and did it a couple of more times, too. Then, he grabbed him by the legs and tossed him to the ground. He curled up into a ball in mid-air and started spinning, which only meant one thing…
"PINBALL ATTACK!"
He homed straight into Gosu. Gosu managed to come to just in time and jumped out of the way, causing Cyber Gosu to crash into the ground.
"Heh, dumbass." Gosu dismissed.
He seemed to be stuck underground. Gosu was about ready to call victory until Cyber Gosu jumped up from underground, still in a ball. Gosu's eyes widened.
"Yikes!" He exclaimed.
Cyber Gosu came flying straight to him, so Gosu extended his arms out and caught him, hoping he would stop his spinning as a result. However, the force that his counterpart was flying at still managed to push him back. Gosu flew back-first into a tree, snapping it in half. He still managed to stay on his feet, and tried to concentrate his Ki. This was pretty difficult of course, considering he was already putting enough out already just to hold this bastard still. He focused his Ki into his hands and then let out a Ki wave that sent Cyber Gosu flying back. Cyber Gosu got back up, but he was relieved quite yet. Gosu dashed in front of him and hit him with a brutal front kick to the face. Gosu followed it up with a flurry of punches, although Cyber Gosu mange to duck one punch and caught the real Gosu in the stomach. He followed it up with a spinning kick and then uppercut him straight into the air. Then, he hit Gosu with a powerful energy blast, which caused him to hit the ground pretty hard.
"Have you had enough yet?" Cyber Gosu asked.
Gosu got back up and stretched out his arms and legs. "Actually, I'm just getting started!"
Cyber Gosu tried to kick his living counterpart, but the kick went through him.!
"Dammit, the after-image technique!" Cyber Gosu exclaimed.
Gosu appeared behind him and tried to punch him, but Cyber Gosu one upped him with an after-image of his own! He finally appeared to the side of Gosu and kicked him in the hip! Then, he formed a group of eight after images that circled around Gosu! Gosu looked at all of them, but he couldn't tell which one was the real metal clone. To make matters worse, he didn't have any Ki to seek out either, meaning he would have to rely on trial and error. He went after one of the images, and no dice. He tried another, and another, but alas, they were all fake. Before he could go after another, the real Cyber Gosu jumped up behind Gosu and punched him in the back of the head! Gosu managed to do a handspring off the ground and then leaped up to a tree branch. He stood there, but Cyber Gosu didn't give him a chance to collect his thoughts. He pulled the branch down and punched Gosu straight into the tree trunk! He went for another punch, but Gosu managed to slip under him! Cyber Gosu's fist drove straight into the tree trunk and was stuck there, so Gosu got up and punched Cyber Gosu in the back, and then bashed his head repeatedly against the trunk. Gosu leaped back, and then gathered his Ki.
"Ka…Me…Ha…Me…HA!"
Gosu fired a Kamehameha, which made a direct hit on Cyber Gosu! The explosion destroyed all of the trees in the vicinity and left nothing but smoke.
"Sorry, forest life, but you know how it is sometimes…" Gosu regretfully said.
However, Cyber Gosu managed to hop back up from the pile of trees!
"You should be more caring towards nature!" He taunted.
"Goddammit!" Gosu exclaimed.
"Face it, you're never going to be able to take me out! Just give up and never get in the Black Tie Army's way again. Maybe I'll put in a good word for you when we finally take over the world." Cyber Gosu taunted.
The real Gosu flipped him off. "Not a chance!"
Meanwhile, at Kansho's house, Retasu was putting his cloak back on while Junsei was drinking a bottle of water.
"This is getting ridiculous." Retasu said. "And it's made worse by the fact that this whole ordeal has forced me to associate myself with you all."
"Look, Retasu, if I didn't come in and help you, you would have probably run out of Ki. And then what would you do?" Junsei said.
"That doesn't matter. In the end, you turned out to be useless and just wasted more of my time." Retasu replied.
"If you really think I'm useless, why don't we find out? You and me, right now!" Junsei challenged.
Retasu laughed. "Well I guess I have nothing better to do. I suppose that this will serve as good practice."
Retasu was about to take off his cloak again until Chitsu interrupted them.
"Guys, how about you save your little conflict for later. Gosu might be in trouble!" Chitsu said.
"And what makes you think I care about that fool's wellbeing, anyway?" Retasu asked.
"Because I know he's your number one target. Am I right?" Chitsu asked.
This definitely caught Retasu's attention. It all came back to him – what he was training for. It was so he could beat that idiot once and for all. No stupid transformations, just a decisive one on one fight. All of these recent events caused him to get involved in stuff that he really had no business getting involved.
"No Gosu, no revenge, am I right? I mean, we're talking about the guy who killed you." Chitsu said. "Sure, he was about 50 times his normal size and wasn't in control of himself, but I'm sure you haven't been able to swallow that down."
Retasu just shrugged. Hey, she was right.
"So what do you say? Just come with us and help Gosu out. After all, you'd probably have a better chance beating that robot guy with Gosu instead of Junsei." Chitsu said.
"Hey!" Junsei responded.
"And not only that, but you probably can't stand the fact that there are now two versions of him that have shown you up. I bet it makes your blood boil. You live to fight, don't you?" Chitsu asked.
"Heh, you sure are a sharp one." Retasu said.
"Well, I was the one who journeyed with Gosu for the Dragon Balls. I'm pretty sure I know his type pretty well." Chitsu said.
"Fine, I'll help out your foolish friend. And since you're likely the smartest person here, I'm sure you know not to bother me again after this whole mess is done, right?" Retasu asked.
"Of course!" Chitsu replied. "Now let's get in the plane."
Retasu looked at her like she was stupid.
"…or fly!" Chitsu said.
"Hey, I'll come with you guys." Kansho said.
"Man, that girl is sharp." Junsei said.
"She's the perfect combination – boobs and brains!" Kansho said.
"You can say that again!" Junsei replied.
Retasu rolled his eyes. He already had enough of the immature sense of humor among these guys. Kansho and Chitsu hopped in the plane while Junsei and Retasu flew. Retasu and Junsei made sure to seek out Gosu's Ki, with Junsei telling Chitsu the directions.
Gosu and Cyber Gosu continued their fight. They were once again throwing punches and kicks at each other, although with went nowhere. They blocked every single one of each other's attacks. Gosu decided to throw in a monkey wrench with a headbutt and went for a punch, but Cyber Gosu countered it and they were both in a power struggle. They switched to a knuckle lock, with both guys trying to push each other forward. Gosu was putting out all of hi Ki to push Cyber Gosu back, while Cyber Gosu attempted to trip Gosu. Gosu managed to catch what he was doing and managed to stay on the ground as a result. Then, he did another Kiai yell, which blew Cyber Gosu off of him. He flew up to him and kicked him up in the air. Then, he curled up into a ball and spun. He was trying it again…
"PINBALL ATTACK!"
He once again launched into the air, but this time, Cyber Gosu countered with a Pinball attack of his own. They both collided into each other, which brought explosive results. They were both constantly homing at each other in a competition of strength. Gosu decided to one up his Cyborg clone and charged his body up with Ki, which caused him to fly even faster at Cyber Gosu and with more force, which was enough to send him crashing into the ground. Gosu got out of the ball position and looked down at the ground with a smirk on his face. He flew down and looked down at the crater. He saw Cyber Gosu's leg sticking out of the ground and moving around. He grabbed his leg and pulled him out from the ground and stuck his tongue out at him. Then, he tossed Cyber Gosu in the air and fired a Kamehameha wave! However, Cyber Gosu managed to narrowly avoid it. While Gosu was still in the firing position, Cyber Gosu jumped to the side of him and punched him in the face. Gosu managed to stay on his feet.
Time for the handy old trick! Gosu thought. "JANKEN!"
"ROCK!" Of course, he went for a poke to the eye. However, Cyber Gosu grabbed his hand.
"C'mon, I'm a clone of you and have done almost all of your techniques so far. Did you really think I didn't know this either?" Cyber Gosu asked.
"Heh, good point!" Gosu replied. "SCISSORS!
This time, he poked Cyber Gosu with his left hand, knowing that Cyber Gosu probably expected him to try and punch him.
"PAPER!"
Gosu tried to punch Cyber Gosu, but he countered it.
"PAPER COVERS ROCK!" Cyber Gosu yelled. "And now…"
Gosu had no idea what the fuck he was going to do now.
"ROCK!"
Cyber Gosu hit him with an explosive punch to the face. It would've knocked out any normal man. Gosu flew high into the air. Meanwhile, Chitsu and the gang finally made it to the site of the battle. They looked around for Gosu.
"Where is he?" Chitsu asked.
"He's definitely somewhere around here." Junsei said.
Gosu was slowly falling to the ground, and he saw Chitsu's plane directly below him. Considering his position, he knew bad things were going to come from this.
"HEY!" Gosu yelled out.
There he is!" Kansho yelled. They all looked up at the falling Gosu.
"GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!" He yelled out. But it was too late. Gosu, with his legs unfortunately spread, landed crotch first on the vertical stabilizer.
"SON OF A BITCH!" He screamed in pain. He slowly fell off the stabilizer and plunged to the ground.
Cyber Gosu laughed at him. "What a fool."
Gosu got back up, holding his crotch. Chitsu and the others flew down to the fight.
"Gee, thanks, Chitsu!" Gosu sarcastically said.
"It's not like we could see you or anything!" Chitsu replied.
"Well you could've listened to me when I said 'Get out of the fucking way.'" Gosu replied.
"Whatever…" Chitsu conceded.
Before Gosu could do anything else, Cyber Gosu flew up to him and kicked him straight in the nuts. Gosu's eyes almost popped out of their socket.
"HEY, THAT WASN'T FAIR!" Gosu yelled. His face was red and he was crying, too.
"This is a battle! Who cares about fairness!" Cyber Gosu said.
"Well then I'll do the same thing!" Gosu elbowed Cyber Gosu in the face and kicked him in the nuts…which did nothing.
"I'm an Android, idiot." Cyber Gosu said.
Retasu, Junsei, Chitsu, and Kansho all face palmed.
"Good point." Gosu replied. He poked him in the eye again.
"Dammit, how could I fall for that shit a second time?" Cyber Gosu exclaimed. Gosu kicked him in the stomach and followed that up with a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Gosu, let us help!" Junsei yelled.
"Oh, no, I'm doing this by myself!" Gosu replied.
"Heh, just like me." Retasu said. "I suppose this trip was utterly pointless."
"You guys are so stubborn! We'd get through these things a lot faster if we just lent each other a hand!" Junsei said.
"If I hear you spout anymore of that teamwork bullshit again, I'll rip your vocal cords out of your throat." Retasu said.
"You didn't have amny friends growing up, did you?" Chitsu asked.
Retasu just shrugged.
Gosu and Cyber Gosu collided with each other and once again went into a burst of attacks. It had the same result of all of the other ones. They were evenly matched. They matched and defended against every attack they threw against each other. They both jumped back and got into the Kamehameha position.
"Ka…Me…" They both yelled.
"This is gonna be big!" Junsei said.
"Ha…Me…HA!" They both fired Kamehameha waves at each other, which collided head-on. They were both putting all of their power into it. The real Gosu added in a little bit of boost, using up almost all of his Ki. Cyber Gosu countered with his own little boost, which put out so much energy that the blasts wound up both overpowering each other and exploding! When the smoke cleared, they were standing in the same positions, although Gosu was notably exhausted.
"Man, it's no use; they're both exactly the same!" Kansho said.
"Yeah' you're right." Junsei replied. "Wait a minute…" Junsei thought about how Cyber Gosu still wanted to eat and was swearing at Chitsu and staring at her tits, and then he remembered how the real Gosu acted around Android 18 before she bashed his face in.
Gosu and his Cyber counterpart dashed at each other once again, until Junsei interrupted them.
"HEY, GUYS!" Junsei yelled.
Both fighters stopped to see what Junsei had to say.
"GET A LOAD OF THIS!" Junsei pulled Chitsu's shirt up! Gosu and Cyber Gosu were both left frozen at the sight they saw. Even Retasu looked out of curiosity. Chitsu was outraged, but it's not like she didn't do this before to save herself. With Gosu and his clone mesmerized and possibly catatonic, Junsei raised his arm and gathered his Ki, which he formed into a disc. He made sure to target the Gosu that wasn't emitting any Ki.
"KIENZAN!"
Junsei fired the disc straight at Cyber Gosu, cutting him clean in half!
"It worked!" Junsei yelled.
This was enough to snap Gosu out of it. "Oh wow, you did it, Junsei!"
Chitsu was royally pissed. She shot Junsei a deadly glare.
"Oh, come on, Chitsu, it was to sa-"
That wasn't enough. What happens next is too violent for me to go into detail with. Let's just say it resulted in Junsei's head being stuck up his ass.
"Well what do you know, Chitsu's tits save the day again!" Kansho joked.
"Do you want to end up like him?" Chitsu threatened.
"No, ma'am!" Kansho replied.
Gosu waked up to the scene. "When they save the day before?"
"Don't worry about it." Chitsu replied.
Gosu showed off the three Dragon Balls. "Damn, it wasn't the four star ball."
"Well, there's always next time." Chitsu said.
"Yup. Oh, and you should keep what's left of my clone." Gosu said.
"Why?" Chitsu asked.
"Because when the cops inevitably come after us, we can show the evidence that I didn't do it." Gosu explained.
"Ah, good thinking." Chitsu replied.
"Well what do we have here?" A voice said from the building. It was an old man in a lab coat.
"Ugh, and just when I thought this bullshit was finished!" Gosu yelled.
"Well, you must be the guy who's responsible for this big mess that the Black Tie Army has suffered through!" He said. "I guess I should introduce myself – I'm Dr. Miro, the man responsible for that clone of you."
"I should rip you a new one for all of the trouble you've caused me!" Gosu said.
"Well, why don't you try? I have a few bio-mechanical warriors I've been working on lately and you'd be a perfect test for them. So what do you say – if you can beat them, I'll let you have me!" Dr. Miro offered.
"I like the sound of that!" Gosu said. "You've got a deal!"
"Gosu, don't do it; it's pointless." Chitsu said.
"No, I want to make this guy suffer for all of this shit. And it'll be good practice for me." Gosu said.
"Does everything have to be a fight for you?" Chitsu asked.
"Um, yeah?" Gosu dryly replied.
"You're an idiot! This search might actually go smoothly if you don't do this, you know!" Chitsu said.
"WELL MAYBE I WANT TO FIGHT, WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" Gosu challenged.
"MAYBE I'LL CUT YOUR LEGS OFF AND FIND THE DRAGON BALLS MYSELF!" Chitsu replied.
"See what I mean? Married couple." Junsei said.
"Uh, Junsei, how did you manage to pull your head out of your ass?" Kansho asked.
"I had to use more strength than I ever planned on using. Let's just leave it at that." Junsei explained. Retasu winced.
"Ahem!" Dr. Miro yelled. "So are you in or are you out?"
Gosu and Chitsu were practically wrestling at this point. Gosu put the scuffle to a halt and pushed Chitsu off of him.
"Alright, let's do this!" Gosu said. He stepped into the laboratory.
"Don't blame me when your stupid ass gets killed!" Chitsu yelled. Gosu flipped her off before walking in the door.
Gosu now faces off against Dr. Miro's bio-warriors. Will he be able to take them out and get his revenge? Find out on the next chapter of Dragon Ball NG!
