Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the car looks like the Bat-Mobil), Pok'emon (Lugia's ocarina) 'Dark Chest of Wonders' by Nightwish; (I will add more when the time comes.)

Claimer: Bakuda, Dakuba, Dawn, Aura, Tara, Karnak, Adam and 'The Universal Gods' I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.

I only own half of the character known as 'Zephkuda' (Tournament to Test the Gods); the other half belongs to 'The-Blue-Zephyr.'

It would be wise to read my story: 'Tournament to test the gods'. I am having that as part of this storyline and if you don't read it, you might be a bit confused!

"Whoa!" Bakuda let out as he rolled to the right and Sonic burst through the open door; "What was that about!" he yelled and Amy snuck up him; "How could you?!" she screeched and Bakuda defected her hammer blow with his forearm; "Can someone tell me what's going on!?" he shouted and Tails gulped; "Bakuda? Can you remember anything about what you did in your rage?" he asked timidly and Bakuda thought for a moment; "Pieces of it… I do remember one scene that is in incredible detail… but I'd rather not discuss it…" he muttered and Tails gulped again; "Look at the TV…" he muttered and Bakuda walked to the TV but noticed that everyone parted for him; "What's going on?" he asked irritated and Tails pointed to the TV where the same image was and Bakuda's jaw dropped; "I didn't do that!" he shouted and everyone fell silent…

Bakuda turned to everyone, Sonic, who just came through the door, he looked like he was ready to explode… Amy looked uncertain, Chris looked like he was thinking deeply, Cream was downright terrified of Bakuda now, Chuck was staring at Bakuda intently and Tanaka looked the same as ever… Bakuda turned to Tails with a pleading expression; "Tails? You believe me right?" he asked hopefully and Tails sighed then smiled; "I knew you couldn't have one that," he said and Bakuda smiled; "Thanks bro," he said and gave Tails a 'high-five'.

Sonic growled; "Don't believe him just yet Tails! We still need to discuss on what happened when you were out 'Egg hunting' and why you never told us about yourself!" he shouted and Bakuda turned to him shakily; "Wh-what D-do you m-mean?" Bakuda stuttered and Sonic narrowed his eyes; "We know all about your bloodthirsty race! The Saiyans, we also know that you are a Godling of some sort," Sonic explained in a harsh manner and Bakuda bowed his head; "How did you find out?" he asked quietly and Sonic grinned; "The Saiyans? On the cruise ship. We found out about you being a Godling by the Godling of love herself!" and Bakuda looked up; "Aura? Where is she?" he pleaded and Amy shook her head; "She's gone, she told us to tell you that 'She's sorry'," and Bakuda sighed; ""It's not her fault…" he muttered and Sonic walked to Bakuda slowly; "Of course not! It's all you! We should have left you in the snow! We took you in and fed you! And what do you do? You murder people!" he shouted and Bakuda snapped; "I did not murder anyone!" he screamed and everyone fell silent.

Bakuda was fuming; "Sure my family, my father at least, is Saiyan! Yes, I am too Saiyan… but that doesn't mean we destroy planets! We don't kill! We don't cause pain for the sake of it!" he shouted in Sonic's face and Sonic scoffed; "Then explain why it shows you chopping some guys head off!" and Bakuda fell silent; "I… I don't know…" he murmured and Sonic smirked; "You do know, you killed innocent people in your rage! You weren't looking for Eggman at all!" he guessed and Bakuda shot his head up again; "FINE! I did not want to tell you this but I guess I have to! I did find Eggman!" he shouted.

Sonic smiled; "Was he boasting on how he got a Chaos emerald? Was he 'all fine and dandy'?" Sonic taunted and Bakuda looked at Sonic with no life in his eyes; "No… He's dead," he said calmly and Sonic's jaw dropped, Chris gasped; "You killed him?!" he said softly and Bakuda turned to his direction; "I don't kill people! He was dead when I got there!" he shouted and Chuck shook his head; "We find that hard to believe… Saiyan," he said and Bakuda completely lost it; "Knuckles can call me that, but I won't stand for anyone else!" he yelled and Sonic chuckled; "Did we hit the poor Saiyans nerves?" he taunted and Bakuda narrowed his eyes, Tails stepped up to Sonic; "For your information Sonic! I AM A SAIYAN TOO!" he yelled in Sonic's now astonished face and he stepped back; "You too?" he asked confused and Tails nodded; "Pact of the Saiyan god, I am Bakuda's brother all the way, I am Saiyan…" he said turning to the people on the couch; "Every time you insult Bakuda, You insult me," he said in a deathly calm voice but his hands sparked…

Tanaka came forward; "Before we make judgements, we need to know Bakuda's story," he advised and everyone nodded once and turned to Bakuda intently who sighed; "It's like this…"

Flash!

Bakuda walked into Eggman's floating ship that he found off the coast on a desert island, He looked around and found himself in a large dome room, he couldn't see because of it being so dark, he powered up to Super Saiyan since his rage left him a long time ago and walked around with the light of his aura and his sword in his hand, which was glowing brightly, guiding him; "Eggman?" Bakuda called out and didn't get a response… he turned to leave when he heard a small voice under some rubble…

Bakuda tunnelled through the metal and found Docoe with no arms, one leg and half his face blown off; "Eggman… is over there… deeeeerrr…" he said as his power cut out and he shut down… Bakuda laid him down and crossed the room in the direction Docoe indicated and tripped over something… Bakuda picked himself off the ground and turned around and what met his eyes was something that would stay with him in his mind and haunt his dreams forever…

Eggman was covered from head to toe in blood, his blood… he eyes were wide and his glasses were cracked on the left side, showing pure white, lifeless eyes… There was several burn marks on him and to top it off, a giant smoking hole was straight through his chest…

Bakuda recoiled and gagged; "What happened here?!" he thought panicked and heard a sound behind him… out of fear, he bolted toward the exit at the next moment…

Flash!

Bakuda looked up to see the shocked faces on the audience's faces; "I… I didn't know what happened there but I didn't really want to find out…" he muttered and looked down to the floor, the memory flashing in his mind again… those lifeless eyes wouldn't leave him alone! Sonic sighed; "I know what happened, you killed him…" he said very serious and Bakuda looked up to him; "I didn't, I swear I didn't…" he said with a tears forming in his eyes… Tanaka came forward; "May I?" he asked and placed his hand on Bakuda's head and Bakuda nodded…

Bakuda suddenly cried out I pain and fell to the floor shivering… Tanaka straightened up; "He was telling the truth… but the reason he is like this is because he is hiding something…" he explained and Sonic smirked; "I knew it! He is always hiding something…" he said and everyone nodded but Tails seemed furious; "Why are you doing this?! Bakuda didn't hurt anyone!" he turned to Sonic angrily and shouted; "He saved your life many times!" and Sonic shook it off; "And he killed many others," but Tails persisted; "He couldn't have killed anyone! I am sure of it!" he pleaded to them and no one moved, he then turned to Tanaka; "And everyone has secrets! You're no different! He mostly kept his secrets to keep you safe! Eggman would have kidnapped me and used my energy to rule the world already if he knew! I have enough power in me to destroy the planet in an instant!" Tails shouted and everyone gasped.

Chuck shook his head; "You can't have that much power Tails!" he cried and Tails nodded; "I do! But the only way to prove it is to destroy it! And Bakuda and I wouldn't do that!" he cried. Sonic sighed; "I wish I could believe that Tails," he muttered and Bakuda stood up shakily; "You want to be right and hate being proved wrong! That is the real problem here Sonic!" he said standing up and smirking slightly then heard noises outside; "Bakuda the fox! Come out with your hands in the air!" a police officer shouted on a mega phone and Bakuda sighed; "Get ready Tails… get the Senzu beans and everything else…" and Tails nodded nervously and ran to get them… Bakuda, Sonic and everyone (excluding Tails) walked out and Bakuda sighed; "This better work…" he thought and stepped outside where everyone from the police force was parked on the lawn with their guns trained on Bakuda…

Bakuda faintly heard, with his super hearing, a jet engine starting… Bakuda smiled faintly as he heard it come closer… Bakuda turned to the officer holding a gun and approaching Bakuda; "Bakuda the fox, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say-" he started before Bakuda sighed; "I would like to say something before I go, I'm innocent…" he said simply and the police officer simply moved forward; "Any more?" he asked irritated at being interrupted and Bakuda smiled then turned to Sonic; "One more…" and looked at the police officers and brought his hands up to his face; "SOLAR FLARE!" and a blinding light came forth and temporarily blinded the officers and everyone else in the neighbourhood… Bakuda jumped into the air and landed on something metal, he looked back and saw the officers rubbing their eyes furiously and smiled; "Time to clear my name…" he muttered and jumped into the cockpit with Tails flying and slightly smiling and turned to Bakuda; "We just have to find the real culprit…" he said and Bakuda frowned; "I think Eggman's death and the murders are somehow connected, my only thoughts right now points to Dakuba… but he has been hiding his energy signature lately," Bakuda explained and Tails nodded; "Dakuba is a good suspect… let's start with him," and the Tornado X burst forward…

Bakuda closed his eyes and remembered Creams terrified look, Amy's, Chris's and Chuck's shocked look, Sonic's furious expression… then to Tanaka's same eyes that somehow held reassurance… Bakuda opened his eyes; "Tails? I think Tanaka is still on our side…" he muttered and Tails nodded; "I think so too, the other though… I didn't think they would do that though…" he muttered and a memory struck Bakuda; "Tails… you know what this means…" he muttered and Tails nodded; "I guess we follow Vegeta's advice…"

"When the friends you thought you could only meet once had in the whole world turns against you, turn your back on the world and find allies…"
