Chapter 48

Note: Sorry about the change of the title name to the story, but I wasn't happy about the name I gave it at first. I hope the new title name though ;).

If Faheem grazed himself of something, were his powers. He outclassed this universe's most supreme beings, save for the Kai's. Fully powered, he had killed super powered beings stronger than Frieza, his brother, Kyuuri, the king of the Solorians, even Broly without any kind of effort whatsoever.

The Solorian with orange flaming hair, formerly blonde, formerly brown hair was, Faheem didn't care. He cared that he was being hit. A retaliation of a hundred blows rained down on his body, with strength that amazingly made him feel more than just tingles. These blows were stunning him, and when they impacted a vital part, they left a painful sensation. PAIN! He never felt that while empowered. It was intolerable. His eyes flashed neon red, ready to burn down the pest.

The Kagayaki Solorian attacked beyond light speed, plummeting Faheem down with a hundred blows all over the Diajin's body. But even Alaric admitted it, the emperor wasn't bulging. Apparently there was more to what meets the eye. The Solorian's fired a right fist towards Faheem's face, who now amazingly stopped it with his own left hand. The sudden counter-attack left the Kagayaki Solorian surprised, as he never actually expected Faheem equaling his speed. The grip in his hand also indicated he was being matched in strength too.

His moment of doubt allowed Faheem to counter with a head butt, right into the Solorian's face. Alaric staggered back, eyes closed, a new wound in his forehead with blood oozing down his face. Faheem didn't lose time. With both hands clutched together to his right side, unleashed an upward star-boosting strike, right into Alaric's jaw. The Kagayaki Solorian flew up at super speed, his jaw a bit loosen, but other way unharmed. He backflipped in mid-air, halting his path, after flying up for miles. Back in his feet, the Solorian caught sight of the Diajin's flying at him, both arms bended to its respective side.

The Kagayaki Solorian waited till the last second, before his body arched down, letting the Diajin's double fist passed where he had dodged, above him. Faheem didn't see the Solorian prince bending his legs to his chest, his black-booted feet going right into the Diajin's face.

Akari stood up, her eyes blurry. A group of people were staring at her. She observed the group in front of her; a man dressed in an orange gi with palm tree hair, who was rather handsome in her opinion, a short man wearing a type of Saiyan armor with a widows peak, a boy wearing a sleeveless purple gi with hair similar to the palm tree haired man but not quite, a Namekian wearing a cape. She noticed the boy helping Lime up to her feet, in response she said thanks. Akari saw Goten run up to the man with the orange gi yelling, "Daddy!"

Quickly figuring from that little display plus the information she received from her son, she deduced that she and the others arrived on Earth but how? Her thoughts were interrupted by a hand waving in her face, calling her back. She shook her head before saying, "So you must be Goku, I appreciate you taking my son in and raising him as your own."

"What? You're Alaric's mother?" Goku asked, trying to comprehend what she said. "But I thought all the Solorians were wiped out."

"All but three of us, Rycon or you know him as Alaric, Azuki, to my left and finally myself Akari, Queen of the Solorians," Akari introduced, slightly nervous to meeting her son's adopted family, considering that the last time she saw him was Faheem confronting Rycon before vanishing.

"Wait, where's Alaric?" Gohan questioned looking, causing everyone to look towards Akari, demanding some sort of answer.

-Dbz-

The double kick hit Faheem head on into his face, shocking the entire country, sending him outside the city, flying through the dawning sky. The blow stunned him, but he recovered again. Stopping his flight, his eyes flared green, ready to burn down the flame hair to a crisp. Alaric chased him, flying beyond comprehension, his fire-like aura shining bright. He suddenly caught sight of Faheem's eyes going green.

A heat burst came out of Faheem's eyes, passing right through Alaric. The after image disappeared, with the Kagayaki Solorian moving behind Faheem, firing a right roundhouse to Faheem's lower back. The mad alien arched his body back in sudden pain, letting whatever guard he had down. Moving beyond blur, Alaric materialised over the in-pain Diajin. Bending his left leg to his chest, Alaric unleashed a downwards kick, caching the Diajin's ribcage. The impact sent the Diajin down to the ground, caving a crater hundred miles wide, now in the city's outskirts. Grass flew out, dust covering everything. But even with his sight halted, the KagayakiSolorian could still feel Faheem's energy, moving down below.

A picosecond later, Faheem was behind him.

The Solorian prince spun over his heels, both forearms crossed in front of him, receiving a full straight punch. The shockwave rocked the destroyed city and more. Alaric's bones rattled, feeling much more things than tingles now. That strike could have done some damage on him. Faheem's anger flared back to surface. He thought that caching this orange pest unguarded would give him the upper hand. But apparently, this was a smart one. But not smarter than him. Dashing at light speed, Faheem moved behind the young warrior, both hands cupped together, ready to unleash a powerful strike to the Solorian's back head. Alaric would have none of that. Throwing his arms to his sides with a scream, the Kagayaki Solorian unleashed a small ki shockwave. Not enough to harm anyone, but powerful enough to suddenly halt and push the Diajin back.

The sudden power rocked Faheem's Diajin senses, dizzying him for some seconds. Too much of a time. The Kagayaki Solorian jumped and spun around, lashing a spinning kick to Faheem's face. The Diajin felt a sudden blow in his cheek, making him to spun over his heels by inertia. But his senses went back to normal, just at the same time the Solorian stopped his spinning kick. Accelerating before someone could realise, the Diajin from extinguished race fired a mighty left hook. The Solorian barely felt Faheem's energy moving to him, before having the Diajin's fist right in front of him a parsec later. The Kagayaki Solorian received the blow, rocking the ground that stood nearly twelve miles down from where they were to its foundations, the ground cracking. Alaric's Kagayaki Solorian aura disappeared, as he flew like a rocket through the city's sky, barely halting his flight just above the city's limits. His lips felt the taste of blood, but his eyes and mind concentrated on the incoming threat. Faheem chased the prince, trying to unleash one last punch that would surely put the orange pest down. The Solorian's right forearm brushed the attack left, with Faheem's equal strength. The Diajin tried to retaliate with another fist, only to be brushed right, this time. Faheem bendt his leg to his chest, unleashing a chin kick. The Solorian left the leg to pass over his right shoulder, and grabbed it when Faheem's knee was in front of his eyes. With both hands around the limb, Alaric's Kagayaki Solorian aura came alive, and started spinning, with hurricane power. When momentum was reached, the Solorian let go the dizzied Diajin, his right hand shinning blue.

He fired a blue energy sphere, as big as himself, with power to shatter the solar system, several times over. The Diajin halted in mid-air, his senses railing, when a sudden blue ki attack crashed against him, pushing him back for miles. It was like if a meteor, twenty times bigger than the Sun, and ten times faster than light was sending him back. Faheem grunted as he used all his physical might and mind will to stop whatever the blue ki attack. He stopped moving, and using all his might in strength, compressed the blue orb of energy on itself. With a final exertion, the blue bomb exploded.

The Solorian prince covered his face, with his forearms crossed in front of him. Smoke flew everywhere, as everything on the ground started trembling. Still standing buildings crumbled down, killing whoever had not left the city. Fortunately, some of Faheem's still conscious royal guard members rescued many of them, while trying to keep an eye of the light-speeded fight. It was just a blur, mixed with short intervals when one would see the two mighty beings, before they disappeared again.

The orange flame haired Solorian saw, as the smoke cleared, the half-baked figure of Faheem, now amazingly burn all over his chest. But amazingly, many of the burns were disappearing. A second later, Faheem had no injury whatsoever. Alaric had to admit it, Faheem may have been one of the greatest fighter's he has ever faced. And the healing was not to be forgotten. But his pride, much like Vegeta's...

His mind stopped railing as Faheem's energy moved again towards him. Faheem launched a right hook, having built up speed, at nearly two times the speed of light. The KagayakiSolorian jumped his body left, leaving Faheem's attack path. The alien emperor missed his target, the momentum keeping him floating. Enough time to be answered back. The Solorian blurred out of sight, moving right in front of the floating Diajin, lashing a front kick to Faheem's face.

It missed.

The Solorian's eyes opened wide, when the Diajin moved out of his kick, firing his own upper-cut strike. Alaric's pain signals flared at full-scale, when the multiple planet-shattering fist connected with his Solorian's guts. Air left his lungs, his auburn orange eyes closing in grimace. Faheem didn't hesitate in taking advantage. With both arms up in the air, hands cupped together, he delivered a descendant axe-strike to the Solorian's back head. The Solorian prince came down from the sky at neck breaking speeds, clashing against the rocky soil like a meteor. Planet Malice's already destroyed buildings trembled even more, when the Solorian created a five mile-wide crater, a mile deep.

Faheem left nothing to chance this time. His eyes shone with blood-red, as he unleashed a planet-burning heat blast. The Solorian recovered faster than anyone would have expected, however, flipping to his feet. In the exact time a red light appeared above him. The Kagayaki Solorian backflipped, the heat blast passing through the rocky soil like if there was non. Alaric looked up in the sky, once the blast stop coming.

Faheem, however, had momentary disappeared. Still Alaric felt his energy moving beneath the earth. A second later, the Diajin emperor flew out of the ground, right beneath a fallen building. His mad grin spred all over his face, while he carried the building up with no kind of effort. The Solorian frowned in anger. The building still had people inside.

"Catch it!" Faheem challenged, throwing the building towards the Kagayaki Solorian. Blasting the building was out of question, and catching it with his hands was a bad idea too. The concrete house was already tearing itself down by its own mass affected by the gravity and air friction.

Alaric encompassed the building with yellow ki energy, conserving it perfectly inside. It wasn't too much of an effort for him, but he didn't want to keep his eyes away from Faheem. The mad alien could do anything if left unwatched.

Depositing the building back on the ground without effort, the Solorian went back for his prey.

Air shimmered behind the orange-flamed fighter, as he catched a descendant axe-strike. His own counter came in no time. The flamed warrior arched his back, bringing his body down, as Faheem's body fell forward. With both legs bended to his chest, the Kagayaki Solorian unleashed another double kick to Faheem's Solar Plexus. The Diajin flew up nearly an entire mile in seconds, as Alaric backflipped to his feet. With both hands cupped together in his right side, the KagayakiSolorian started charging energy.

"Soul Breaker Blast!" The Solorian unleashed a red/blue electrical charged energy beam with enough power to shatter a dozen planets. The beam pushed Faheem up to the stratosphere in seconds, unable to escape the sudden grip he was in. The deranged Diajin gyrated himself, letting the energy attack to fly out to space. Only for it to twist around, and go back for his enemy.

Faheem had no warning, when a sudden blow hit him square on the back. Smoke covered the sky, the atmosphere shining for a moment with blinding white light.

But as the dust settled, Faheem was still there. And even as injured as he was, his powers were going up again.

Though now a bit fatigued, Faheem's senses felt the air shimmering behind him. Anger ran through his body, as no one had put him through so much shame before. His eyes went green, as he unleashed a heat blast right in the place where the orange-flamed warrior appeared. The Solorian never felt the energy coming until it was too late. The heat vision hit him square in the chest, pushing him back with both concussive and heat force.

The heat blast burnt his Solorian skin, right through his Solorian assassin's outfit. Before more damage could have been done, however, Alaric teleported right behind Faheem, whose senses didn't warn him of the incoming threat this time. The Solorian unleashed a right kick, that hit Faheem's right kidney. A sudden pain flared through Faheem's body, as his heat blast stopped. Only for his eyes to shone even reder. Wrapping the stretched limb to his right side, Faheem used his large planet-shattering strength, to whip the fighter over his head, right down to Malice at near light speed. Not letting him go away, Faheem flew down faster, his legs outstreched down. The double feet crushed the Solorian's chest, increasing his already moving speed. The Solorian flew down, impacting dead on with the ground, making everything to tremble.

Faheem would not lose his time now. With the advantage on his side, the mad Diajin used his enhanced vision to scan the area below. He saw the Solorian wasn't up yet, his black-cladded body lying in the ground. Perfect! Building up speed, Faheem flew out of the atmosphere, light speed reached in no time. And that speed kept increasing. With a final exertion, he pushed his top speed beyond time speed, accelerating right towards Malice. Towards a orange, soon to be dead, warrior.

Alaric narrowed his eyes, pain flaring through him. Most of it was already leaving, but he still couldn't avoid it. Faheem had momentarily overcame him. But that didn't matter. Both were equal in strength and speed. Whatever advantage Faheem had in healing, Alaric had it in fighting and energy power, which was increasing as he noted sometime during the fight. But he would not give the emperor the advantage. This surely was a fight they both longed for some time. His eyes fully opened when Faheem came down from the sky, covered in flames by air friction.

-Dbz-

"So you're telling us that Alaric is currently fighting Faheem, one of the most sadistic people in the entire universe?" Vegeta said, looking to the sky.

Akari only sighed. She continued feeling Alaric's ki flowing throughout the battle, telling Goku and everyone what Alaric's situation, everything except the Kagayaki transformation for some unknown reason.

"It's not something I'm proud of either," She told the group. "But it's for the best, we can't go help him. If we do we won't a single hit or blast from Faheem, he'll slaughter us just for being there."

"I must agree with the Queen," agreed Vegeta, causing everyone who knew him to look at him in shock. "Back in the days of me working for Frieza, Faheem was placed in our group for missions. At the beginning everything seemed fine, but as time progressed, I noticed something demonic about even by Saiyan standards."

-Dbz-

Faheem came down from the sky, his arms stretched forward in fists, having accelerated beyond light speed. In less than a second, his fist connected with the still ground-lying Solorian.

Everything went chaos.

Debris, dust and rubble flew out of the epicenter of impact. Tremendous earthquakes rippled through the entire planet, making every city in the world to shake. The devastating shockwave ran all over the country, and then the entire world. The power unleashed was millions of times worse than any nuclear weapon. Even the meteor that extinguished the dinosaurs seemed a little spark of energy to the display. If the Solorian hadn't received the blow, Malice would have left existence long ago.

Yet, nothing proved that there was a city there because nothing remained. Whereas a city used to be, now there was nothing but a desert wasteland. A gigantic crater in the middle of the former city, nearly a two hundred miles wide, and nearly as deep too. Faheem was standing on the center. His breath a bit labored, but his energy reserves going all up again.

The Kagayaki Solorian was lying on the blasted rocky ground, his black outfit tattered in a few parts, his body bruised, dried blood on his face. His breathing though, indicated he was still alive. Faheem smirked, before laughing like a psychopath. Well, he was a psychopath, through and through.

Faheem spun around, walking to the direction of Alaric. His maniacal laugh resonating with echo through the new created great canyon.

He only made two more steps, though, before a hand grabbed his shoulders, forcing him to spun around. The only thing he saw was a punch, coming right into his nose. The ground shook beneath him, as the Diajin crashed against a crater's walls.

The Kagayaki Solorian stood, blood and dust covering him. Yet his breath wasn't labored. His energy seemed to have returned. Or maybe it never went away. Both options were available.

"You are something tough, I admit it," Alaric said, stretching his neck's muscles. "But of course, you have never fought against an equal before, or superior as I have gladly shown."

"How?" The Diajin muttered. "You were..."

"Dead?" Alaric asked with obvious sarcasm. "You really need to make sure when you kill someone. You're just too overconfident, thinking a simple blow that barely tickles me, can actually put me down." Faheem just looked wide opened to his enemy. His confidence was going out of the window. Especially after hearing that the blow 'tickled'.

Faheem screamed, flying right to the Solorian, trying to land a right punch. Only to be hand-catched by the bruised Solorian.

"Someone like you shouldn't exist. You are born with outstanding power, yet what do you do with it? Cause massive genocide just to acquire one or two likely candidates to join you, to serve you?" Alaric speeched to the hand-gripped Diajin emperor. His eyes were going auburn-orange to green, and sometimes hazel.

"Now, I'll show you what terror can do..." Alaric said, his fire aura bursting out. His strength boosted, his grip on Faheem, even harder. But his aura was increasing, sounding more high-pitched, his hair flowing up straightening itself. "And also, what TRUE power is!" With a ear-breaking scream, something Faheem couldn't avoid hearing for his super senses, Alaric's aura set fire the entire crater, lighting everything with golden hue. The Z-fighters fell to the ground, when everything started trembling with madness. Whatever remained from the debris along with big pieces of rocky soil and nearly the entire soil, starting to float up, Alaric's power defying everything. His muscles started to pump up, veins poking through his skin. Lightnings surrounded the Kagayaki Solorian, electrifying the nearby air. Faheem felt himself struck by some lightnings right into his face, sending chills through him. The grip in his hand got stronger, his hand bones falling under the increasing pressure. His mighty strength was doing no job in keeping him balanced either.

With an echoing scream, Alaric's Kagayaki Solorian aura exploded, golden Hell on Earth, the entire world shaking in fear. Faheem was struck with powerful ki waves that sent him back and back.

Faheem saw the fire aurora diminishing, so he looked down to the ground. There, in the middle of the gigantic crater, now even bigger, stood a Kagayaki fighter, a proverbial 'titan'. Faheem's mouth was resting on the floor, as he looked on with awe.

Faheem's eyes flashed green, as he charged his full-powered heat vision. The green-eye blast came down from the sky, the intense heating atomizing the air particles. The beam moved right to its target. Only for a backhand to throw it up in the space, no effort needed. Faheem's hopes fall right to the ground, and even more lower.

The air shimmered in front of him, taking him out of his thoughts. The Kagayaki Solorian was starring at him, a small smile on his lips.

"Unfortunately where I come from, that's a big no-no," Alaric explained. "Feel free to shat your pants. I won't judge you... Ok maybe a little." The mad Diajin buckled his arms, ready to fist this 'Solorian' pest.

His buckling time was just too slow.

One second, the Solorian was in front of him. In the picoseconds that split up the seconds, the Kagayaki Solorian was landing a devastating front knee, right into Faheem's sternum. The Diajin never saw it coming, his Diajin mind unable to process so much information in such a short amount of time. When his senses came to be, the Solorian's knee was in his chest, applying monstrous pressure onto him. The following bone breaking noise, made the Solorian to smirk.

Faheem remained open-mouthed, not knowing what to do. Only for something to run all over him, feeling with a unique emotion: PAIN. He had broken bones. Impossible! He was the strongest. There was no one stronger. His scream filled everyone's ears, as Faheem was suffering. The Solorian wasted no time. Moving beyond comprehension, he reappeared behind and above Faheem, landing another knee strike, right into the Diajin's back head. Faheem's body fell forwards slightly, his skull broken, his brain railing inside his 'invulnerable' head. His senses went rogue, as his brain needed more time to regenerate the damage. Not enough time to save him though. The Solorian was now in front of Faheem, backflipping in mid-air. His foot connected with Faheem's chin, sending him skyrocketing through the sky. Faheem's body wasn't healing fast enough. Each blow was doing more than tissue damage. His energy and stamina were running low, each attack sapping his reserves with calculated and well-aimed strikes to his body.

The flame-covered Solorian reappeared far above in the sky, right in Faheem's path. Both of his hands were cupped together and up in the air. A second later, he delivered a descending axe strike to the incoming injured Diajin's body. The pain increased tenfold, when Faheem was flung down to the hard ground, at light speeds.

Alaric smirked to himself.

Faheem crashed, dust flowing endlessly in the air. He staggered to his feet, blood oozing from his face. Alaric suddenly materialised in front of him. Faheem tried to mumble anything, only for blood to sputter out, along with some white things. The Diajin looked down in disbelief, as nearly half of his teeth were lying on the ground. His eyes flared red, with murderous intentions.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Faheem exploded. Alaric rose his eyebrow, before starting laughing.

"And you've done a marvelous job at it," Alaric sarcastically.

"SHUT UP!" Faheem screamed louder, unleashing his heat blast. The Solorian was one second a few meters away, and then he was right in front of Faheem. With a backhand, Faheem lost any kind of concentration, his senses wandering. He tried to retaliate, only for a sudden punch to hit him square in the guts. For a moment, one could have said that Alaric's fist came out on Faheem's back.

Alaric moved back, Faheem falling forward, his hands clenching his belly. He closed his eyes in grimace. How was it possible to feel so much pain? Every inch in his body was hurting. His eyes flared green, like many times they did when angry, before attacking the Solorian, berserk mode at its fullest. His body had healed some of the most serious damage, but he still felt drained.

Each fist, hook and upper-cut, all missed stupidly, with the KagayakiSolorian simply bobbing his head to his sides, around the Diajin's trained blows. With a sudden second air in his body, Faheem attacked faster. One well-aimed punch would do the job. His fist went straight to the Solorian's forehead, only for the Solorian to fade out. Too late did Faheem recognised the after image, when the Solorian's left elbow came down, right into Faheem's spine. Nearly instantaneously, the same elbow hit Faheem's nose, sending white-hot pain through him, pushing the Diajin emperor against the crater's walls. Bones were shattered with the power.

Faheem rose again, though his body bruised, and nearly energy less, bones broken and bloodied. The upper cut punch hit right into the Solorian's chin, sending a shockwave through the city's rubble. The planet would have disappeared long ago. But the Solorian remained, unmoved and unscathed. A simple slap sent Faheem back against the wall, now depleted of his power.

Faheem tried to stand, only for his knees to let him fall, hard to the ground, head first. The pain wasn't leaving. How he hated it. But even with his thick skull, not so thick after the fight, he still knew he was outmatched. This Kagayaki Solorian had the power to kill him.

He suddenly rose, attacking the Solorian for all that was worth to him. Meaning not too much. Alaric punched to his fist into Faheem's fist. Faheem fell forward to the ground, holding his hand grimacing in pain.

Alaric's auburn eyes shone with fury, his fist hitting square into Faheem's mouth. Not before grabbing Faheem by the throat, charging a ki sword in his hand, "Normally people would say 'Sorry, it's nothing personally' but in this case it's all personal, but I made a promise and I intend to keep that promise." Shortly after, Alaric sliced Faheem's head, kicking him in chest with the head following after.

The Solorian sighed, his powers decreasing, his hair going brown, his eyes hazel. He then started to stretch his senses before finding the specific ki he was looking for before vanishing.

Lime started to dwell in tears, but a pair of arms hugged her. Nearly jumping in place, Lime traced her hand up the pair of arms, feeling the ripples before realizing who it was. She glomped on him sending him to the floor of the Lookout before another woman glomped on him, snuggling him. The Z fighters sweat dropped at the sight, but were pretty happy for the tri-couple. Once he got up, he walked over to Goku.

"Hey, dad sorry about the note and leaving Earth, making you guys sick worrying about me," said Alaric, rubbing the back of his head in the infamous Son style. No response was heard from either Goku or Gohan. Worried that he might have offended them, he started to apologize before being crushed front and back by his father and brother, with added weight he could possibly guess was from Goten. Alaric just relaxed into the embrace and thought about the events in his and considered how blessed he was.

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the end of the Faheem/Kagayaki Solorian saga. According to the timeline, we are at the 6th year mark of the 7 year peace, only one more year before the Majin Buu saga starts. I do plan on writing through the Majin Buu but I'll probably skip the one year and dive right into the Buu saga. Which raises the question... Super Saiyan 3, will there be one? The original draft I have was to include the Ssj3 transformation but a thought occurred to me, the Ssj2 transformation became obsolete once the Majin Vegeta fight was over right?

But what would happen if Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Alaric trained their Super Saiyan 2/Super Solorian 2 to be mastered, much like how they trained the Super Saiyan/Super Solorian to be mastered during the Cell saga. Theoretically, mastered Super Saiyan 2 could come close to Super Saiyan 3 power, but not quite. For your thoughts on this, PLEASE leave a comment or PM me with your suggestions on this one.
