Judgement Saga:
53: A Prince's Awakening
Day 2 – 1 day before Jero attacks.
"Owwww!"
Deval Frutti wined panting on the floor with sweat soaked Pebble, Bliz and Mako breathing heavily. He peeled his red shirt from his sticky sweaty skin, feeling his sweat running down the side of his head as he lifted his head to see the door opening and Vegeta wheeled himself into the Gravity Chamber with a scowl plastered on his wrinkled face.
"Get up," Vegeta bared his teeth, looking down at the fallen Impulses in his wheelchair as they struggled. "It's only 100 times Earth's gravity weaklings; I had high hopes for you all but all you have done so far is disappoint me."
"Oh c'mon...give us a break." Deval pleaded, clambering to his feet before his body shook and he collapsed again.
"Can I use my powers?" The large man said. "If I could transform right now I'd be breakin' records in here."
"Hn," Vegeta turned to Pebbles. "No. We're not in that stage of training yet. I want you all to grow stronger without having to rely on your otherworldly powers and techniques, it'll give you more control, that way when you do transform Pebble you'll be both much more disciplined and stronger. There's no point in hitting early plateaus. Surely even an imbecile like you understands that."
"I miss Goku..." Bliz sighed; his white sprawled across the floor.
Vegeta smirked cockily and then heard a familiar whirling making him grunt as he turned to see the a metal rectangle descending from the ceiling, a screen lit up and his wife Bulma with his blue/grey ponytail in her white shirt and blue jeans looked around the room from the camera attached to the top of the screen.
"Oh Vegeta!" Bulma immediately noticed the fallen Impulses. "I told you to take it easy on them! Oh I hope they're alright."
"Hn, this training will do them good." Vegeta crossed his arms. "Anyway, what is it woman?"
Bulma sighed in frustration. "We need you in the meeting room. Uub's found Buu."
"I'm on my way," Vegeta nodded, and thought for a moment before turning back to Mako, Deval, Pebble and Bliz.
"Alright, I suppose that's enough punishment for today. Rest now, because when we continue we'll be upping the gravity again."
Vegeta closed his eyes and concentrated before vanishing in an azure flash to which the Impulses looked in awe to see that Vegeta had disappeared –
-And he reappeared inside the Capsule Corp meeting room and wheeled himself next to Hercule and Trunks who were sat around the circular metallic table with the Capsule Corp logo emblazed in the centre and watched as Bulma put down her Me-Pad she had used to call him. She sat closest to Uub who was by Goku, Roshi, Krillin and Gohan.
"So you've found where Buu is?" Vegeta said soberly, his old face set in a permanent frown. "The meditation was actually a success."
"Yes." Uub smiled and Hercule crossed his arms grinning. "I'm surprised it actually worked, gotta give Hercule some credit on this though."
"Obviously, hm, hm," Hercule closed his eyes grinning with his arms crossed. "Listening to the advice of a World Champion like me clearly helped my disciple." Hercule smiled opening his eyes, looking at the set of bemused eyes staring at him. "But, for real, err, thank you Uub. I can't wait to see Buu again."
"Shut up." Vegeta uttered. "So explain. Where is Buu?"
"He's at their headquarters. It's southwest of Korin's Tower."
"Isn't that?" Goku pondered.
"That must be in the exact same place as their original headquarters." Bulma thought aloud.
"Didn't Goku destroy that when he beat the Red Ribbon Army?" Krillin asked.
"Yeah," Goku frowned. "They must have rebuilt it. Well at least it'll be easy to find for us, right?"
"It is." Vegeta furrowed and then looked at Uub. "What else did you see in their base? Their military preparing I presume?"
"Actually no..." Uub frowned, for the first time wondering why there weren't that many soldiers there. "There were hardly any soldiers, it's weird. But when I think about it they've taken control of North, East, South and Satan City so the majority of their soldiers will be coming from their tomorrow I guess."
"Of course, that has to be the reason." Trunks confirmed. "That means their Headquarters is wide open."
"Then I'd say we'd better move quickly and get Buu back now." Gohan said. "We want to be quiet and go unnoticed otherwise Jero may be contacted and could end up attacking earlier whilst we're gone. However if we find Jero at the Headquarters we can end this today and return to normality."
"Gotta be pragmatic..." Vegeta muttered, much preferring to face Jero on the day scheduled and beat him at his own game, but he knew more than anyone the situation that he was in. He squeezed the arm of his wheelchair and grunted. "So you want a stealthy approach?"
"Yes," Gohan nodded.
"In that case I have one question for you Krillin," He turned to the bewildered ex monk. "Your daughter, how fast is Marron? I'm correct on saying she's the fastest out of us, right?"
"Wait," Krillin shook his head holding up his hands. "Woah, woah, woah, we are not sending Marron out there if that's what you're thinkin'!"
"Krillin, you can't father your child forever." Vegeta frowned. "She's not that little girl anymore. She's Twenty-One, older than my daughter, an adult who can fend for herself and she would be valuable for this mission."
Krillin was about to retort when Roshi put a hand on his shoulder.
"I have to agree with Vegeta, Krillin." Master Roshi said sympathetically. "You have to let her make her own path in life."
Krillin furrowed, thinking about what they said and sighed reluctantly agreeing. "Fine... But either way I want to go with her in case anything happens. After all Eighteen would want that..." He smiled half-heartedly, hoping they would reunite with his wife on this mission.
Gohan smiled. "Sure, that's fine by me. Right so here's the team. It'll be myself, Uub, dad, Krillin and Marron. That leaves Trunks, Pan and Bra as the strongest here in case anything happens."
"Pffft," Vegeta crossed his arms, itching to object with Gohan's statement. But he knew deep down his fighting day's were at an end as much as he refused to admit it. He clenched his fists. "Well you'd all better get going then."
The gloom mist covered the grassy/brown lands with hills and forests. Yellow sparks from torches lit the path to the Watch Tower several miles outside West City.
"Ahhhhhhhhh..."
The King's Guard yawned stretching with his arms high in the air, before cracking his back. He drank the remainder of his coffee before putting back on his white helmet with the KG logo ready to continue his shift.
"Ready to get back on lookout duty Bob?"
"Yeah..." The soldier replied half-heartedly. "Roll on 14:00 so we can finally get off this stupid watch duty. Nothings gonna happen until tomorrow, don't know why they insist on putting us out here."
Beep... Beep... Beep...
"Huh?"
The KG Soldier Bob frowned, walking up to the radar and clicked the screen with his finger and gasped, seeing many dots blinking on the radar and they could hear a rumble of twin stamps.
"There's a lot something out there..." He looked at his colleague with a worried expression and the two grabbed their binoculars and looked through the lens.
Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.
In the distance they saw them hidden by the gloom. Hundreds of rows of soldiers in green body armour with the RRR logo on the left side of their chest plates, some in bulky mech suits/battle jackets and large tanks thousands maybe even more marched forwards.
Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.
"It's the RRR! Jero's army! They're a day early!" He shouted lowering his binoculars as did the other soldier and looked back into the binoculars to see that the army had halted.
Then he noticed the man who held his arm up. He wore a tweed jacket, black trousers, red bowtie and black funnel hat a red ribbon in centre. There were two people beside him dressed unlike the soldiers. A long black hair man and a long blonde haired woman.
The lens focused, though hidden by the mist he could make out their features.
The man wore navy blue gold tipped boots. Jeans; ripped over the left knee. Gold belt, the RRR ribbon logo emblazed on it. Brown golden trimmed vest and navy blue spandex showing his lean but muscular form.
The woman wore brown golden trimmed cowboy boots. Black legging, short blue skirt with an identical golden RRR belt. A short blue denim jacket, black undershirt, her arms pale meeting gold wristbands and grey fingerless gloves.
Jero Ribbon grinned, his arm lowered and ghostly blue eyes filled with malice. He said something.
The man and woman grinned. The man lifted his left arm, whilst the woman lifted her right and they flayed their fingers. Red gems glimmered as their hands began to glow yellow, electricity sparked –
Quickly the soldier dropped the binoculars and lifted his arm -
President Occidente and Bulma's hearts sunk when they heard the announcement from her meeting room.
"Commander it's the RRR they're here! Hundreds! No, thousands even! Oh my god, that light! That light -"
The explosion erupted far away from their left side of the outer city limits. The enormous bang ripped through the air deafening everyone outside as Bulma watched the people outside placed their hands over their ears and crouched down, some being toppled by the gale force winds as the bright yellow light reflected against the damaged buildings, grass, homes and everyone within the area giving them a brief yellow hue.
The aged Bulma ran to the window and pressed her hands against the window and gasped at the enormous mushroom cloud beyond the city. The RRR had annihilated West City's watch tower. They were coming a day earlier than they said they would and to make matters worse Goku and the others had left over twenty minutes ago.
She turned and noticed Senator Occidente speaking into his radio. "Yes. The attack is happening today, General Zuko we need to lock down this city and get the citizens to safety in the underground shelters as prepared for we can't have innocent lives in jeopardy."
Vegeta grit his teeth now watching the mushroom cloud rise.
The RRR was here he could sense many soldiers now coming into the cities perimeter and cursed at himself for not bothering to stretch his senses earlier in case of this event.
'Trunks, Bra, Pan, Goten!' Vegeta called out to them mentally, as KG Soldiers rushed to the front, blasters in hand, tanks following them to the frontline as others rushed the citizens into Capsule Corps underground bunkers. 'Get out here now we're on the front line Jero and his army will be here soon! And get the Impulses we need them here too!'
Instantly he felt several Ki's rise and each one dashed to his position from various places coated in white aura. Bra, Trunks and Goten from Capsule Corp's front door and Pan came from the far side of the garden.
"What timin', seriously Gohan and the others literally just left!" Goten growled, looking into the direction of the RRR Soldiers energy signals. "There must be thousands of them..." He clenched his fists, thinking out loud.
"It doesn't matter really." Bra crossed her arms, brows lowered. "If they're as pitifully weak as before then we'll just destroy them instantly we don't need Gohan. I could finish them myself."
"I doubt they'd come unprepared - especially with someone as sophisticated as Gero as their leader." Vegeta scowled at his daughter from his wheelchair. "Where are the Impulses?"
Pan stepped forwards, now wearing her orange tunic with a blue undershirt bulging out a little over her breasts and a blue belt. The orange tunic fell to her thighs meeting her black leggings and blue sneakers with red lining. Her black hair fell to her shoulders underneath the orange bandana. Slung over her right shoulder tied with a red string was a red sheath with the Power-Pole inside. "I've got Eugene to get the others. They'll be here soon."
"Good. We'll need them." Vegeta said. "I think we'll be fighting more than just Soldiers today."
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked, the other listened as the Soldiers began to now get into formation on at the end of Capsule Corps' front yard, using rubble and destroyed cars as barricades.
"I think we'll be dealing with Androids. Seventeen I know will be here for sure." Vegeta said soberly, looking at each of them. "This is just a theory but his sister air to presume that his sister could make an appearance too."
"Eighteen? Krillin's wife, you're joking right?" Trunks exclaimed, staring at his Father seriously.
"She was kidnapped by their Admin awhile back and Kakarot fought Seventeen in King Furry's castle."
Trunks, Goten, Bra and Pan looked at him serious expressions bore on their faces.
"Just be prepared."
Uub followed closely by the aged Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Marron had been flying for nearly thirty minutes. The usual trip to Korin's Tower from West City would have been a lot faster. However, the group coated in their white auras had to avoid any detection from the RRR who now controlled the world, its airspace, its oceans and its lands.
They continuously changed altitude and used the forests and mountains as their cover before flying close to the ocean, cutting through the blue sea whilst keeping their eyes out for any of the RRR's ships. Uub had been explaining more about the RRR Headquarters and what they were going to do when they got there. Marron the daughter of Krillin and Eighteen found the information interesting but she couldn't help but feel trepidation consume her – though she was usually scared of most situations especially when they involved the RRR.
Then finally after a long horrible trip through the cutting cold winds she spotted the large land mass coming into view covered with a dense forest along the shore stretching out for miles. The large blue waves crashed onto the sandy sore just about teaching the grass and trees. Looking close into the northern direction she could just about see the tall pillar of Korin's Tower leading up beyond the clouds.
"We need to walk through the forest and use the trees for cover. The RRR Headquarters isn't far from here." Uub said as they all began to drop down and planted their feet into the sand leaving footprints before they took to the forest and began to head to the RRR Headquarters.
A gust of cold air swept past the deserted demolished city, the dome shaped home of the Brief's family home of Capsule Corp stood tall. The green and concrete paved yard filled with around three-hundred trained white/orange armoured KG Soldiers armed with rifles with around another new two-hundred recently recruited fathers from the refugees Capsule Corp had taken in, standing in square-like formations, awaiting the arrival of the RRR behind quickly made barricade of wood, destroyed hover cars, vans and school buses all around the houses perimeter.
Behind the army Vegeta sat in his wheelchair by his front door, his short grey/white hair blew slightly in the wind as he frowned, focusing, feeling the energy of thousands of Soldiers. This was going to be a good one, pity he couldn't be a part of it. "Hn," He grunted, crossing his arms he looked up. On top of the roof his family and friends also ready for Jero's appearance.
Bra, Trunks, Pan, Videl, Master Roshi in a red vest and brown trousers with a black bandana holding his white staff, Yamcha and Goten both in orange Gi without the blue undershirt stood alongside the Impulses Mako, Deval, Pebbles, Bliz and Eugene who was trembling as he to felt the army's Ki radiating not too far from them.
'Guess this will be good for the next generation.' Vegeta lowered his brow and growled. 'After all me and Kakarot won't be around forever to clean up.'
In the meeting room of Capsule Corp Senator Occidente, Hercule, Valese and Bulma looked through the window, waiting in anticipation for the Red Ribbon Revolution to arrive. Occidente stood crossed arms, wearing his blue suit with brushed back brown hair, his tanned wrinkled face defined as he brow lowered looking through his circular glasses, past the military and through the cracked building. His fingers beat nervously against his arm as he heard the marching of thousands of footsteps hitting the ground.
And then he gasped and Bulma's eyes widened.
Thousands of green soldiers in green body armour with the RRR logo on the left side of their chest plates began to pour out from each corner of buildings in every block alongside large/heavy tanks and bulky mech suits with the RRR logo plastered on their cockpits.
And not a moment after large warships and fighters jets began to hover over Capsule Corp. The largest of them in the centre, standing on the balcony with her black leather gloved hands behind her back in her usual blue military coat, buttoned up, blue trousers and black boots, black metallic pads on her shoulders, forearms and shins, accompanied by a red band over her left arm which was branded with the infamous RRR logo. The Admin looked down judgingly with her short spiky ginger hair wavering in the cold breeze.
Below on the roof Pan looked up next to Bra who crossed her arms, her orange Gi wavering as she had one hand on her Nyoi-bo staff in its sheath behind her back. This time her fight with Aprilotine would end differently.
In front of their army Vegeta frowned and spotted Jero Ribbon in front of the army standing alone in his tweed jacket, black shirt red RRR bowtie and top hat with the RRR logo on the front his ginger quiff poking out. "He's alone... So where is Seventeen?" Vegeta thought aloud, scanning the rooftops of the skyscrapers, buildings and the warships... "Where are you, Android?"
The two armies stared each other down, the military gulped fearing the odds were now heavily stacked against them as the RRR army stared at them through their green and black masks alongside several of the Admin's in their red and black armour like the one Gohan killed the other day.
Jero's pale blue eyes scanned across the army and he spotted the Z-Fighters lined up over the roof. He furrowed, Goku, Gohan and Uub weren't amongst them. Where were they? Nevertheless his Androids would finish them should they try an ambush... "Hm?" He looked up; a microphone screeched drawing him from his thoughts.
Inside Senator Occidente spoke into the mic. "Jero Ribbon this is Senator Occidente. I order you to stand down. Turn your army around and leave."
"Stand down?" Jero chuckled and then frowned. "You cannot be serious. I have three-quarters of the Earth in my possession and I am not about to give up on obtaining the last quarter from this city, Senator. Nothing stops me, not army, not Goku, not this time!"
"Stand down or we will attack." The Senator's voice demanded from the microphone.
Jero closed his eyes, frowning. "You know, it is rather crowded in your yard, it's hard to see Capsule Corp like this. Be it with your army and all; allow me to remove the portion." He said, the Senator's eyes widened expecting the worst from the malice in Jero's voice. "Let me demonstrate."
Suddenly the reincarnation of eyes snapped open and beams of yellow arrows zapped out as Jero twisted his head and before the KG Soldiers on the front line could even react the beams shot and crushed their ribs and fired out their backs hitting buildings in a puff of fiery smoke the distance before they fell to their knees. The remaining Soldiers stared in shell shock at their fallen comrades, fifty of their soldiers had fallen in seconds, how long would they last?
Pan and the others growled furiously on the roof whilst Bra unfolded her arms and Eugene still trembled.
Vegeta glared, still sitting in his wheelchair in the shadows of his porch.
Inside Senator Occidente face dropped his eyes wide at the sight of the fallen men.
"Senator, do I have your orders to engage?" The voice of General Zuko asked through the radio, his voice panicked.
"Three more seconds or my army annihilates yours." Jero's voice reverberated through the microphone in the room.
"I..." Senator Occidente looked away.
"Wait you can't!" Hercule said, he turned around with Bulma to look at Senator Occidente worrying.
"Your time is up."
"Wait!" Occidente pleaded, speaking into the mic. "Stop, we surrender. West City is yours, please no more bloodshed today." He closed his eyes.
Jero smirked and closed his eyes. "Good. Looks like you have some se -"
"Absolutely not, I refuse I'm in command now!"
Jero gasped and looked up, now in front of the KG Soldiers much to his shock was a man in a black sleek Capsule Corp wheelchair. He was very old, he had short white/grey hair, with a heavily receded widow's peak, his face was heavily wrinkled, eyes dark, cheeks sunk giving him a harsh scowl. He wore a black leather jacket, red shirt, leather trousers with a grey tail wrapped tightly around his waist.
Jero stared, bewildered for a few seconds and then laughed. "Ah, well if it isn't Vegeta!" He settled into a low chuckle before smirking. "How the mighty have fallen. I remember back when you single handily decimated my Android Nineteen. But now you're a mere old man in a wheelchair, hm it's almost sad really. I assume even though you're like this your arrogance still blinds you from surrendering. That was, after all, always your weakness."
"Hn," Vegeta grunted. "Say what you want freak. But the fact still remain you and your army despite your numbers are pathetic compared to ours. With my daughter and son here we could flatten you in an instant. Honestly this is pointless; I'm more than enough to finish you by myself. You may as well take your meaningless exist and crawl back into Hell where you belong. You've had your time and you're most certainly past your expiry date, tin man."
"Still full of witty pitiful retorts I see. Some things never change," Jero looked at him soberly. "Now, how about some insight? I've noticed that Goku and the others are not here. So tell me, where are Goku, Gohan and Uub right now?"
"So you noticed." Vegeta grinned maliciously in his wheelchair. "They're gone. That's all you're getting from me. Your fight is with me and I promise I'll be the one decapitating you this time, not your Android."
"Well say hello to King Yemma for me on your trip to Otherworld." Jero glared and lifted his hand before shouting. "Alright my loyal army, attack! Kill them all!"
The RRR lifted their rifles/blasters as did the RRR, the sounds of guns clicked echoed through the battle worn city.
Roshi, Yamcha, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Bra, Mako, Eugene, Bliz, Pebbles and Deval got ready –
Aprilotine smirked, looking down her eyes boring on Pan like a hungry vulture who glared back defiantly at her. She lifted her black leather gloved hand and quickly rotated her wrist so her palm faced up –
The earth below the soldiers immediately detonated, sending KG soldiers and most the barricade of trucks and car hurtling upwards into the air, before rapid fire from crimson coated bullets ripped through the falling KG soldiers.
"You're dead!" Pan yelled, her white aura flared around her before she crouched and blasted off into the air towards Aprilotine's hovering warship –
Aprilotine's eyes glittered with malice; her new blood ached for a fight and she knew just the place. She clenched her fists by her sides and ascended from the balcony of her ship and blasted off away from the city at high speeds –
"Hey she's mine hands off!" Bra hissed at Pan, her white aura exploded around her making the others flinch as Yamcha and Roshi were nearly blown off the roof before she blasted off the spray of bullets from fighter jets narrowly missing her –
"Pan wait!" Mako also yelled, reaching out for the girl he loved. His body coated over molten fire before he also flew off, catching up with Bra.
"No don't be baited!" Roshi reached out for Pan, Bra and Mako who were already gone. "Can't you see she's luring you away!"
That's when Goten finally caught eye of who they were after. His skin felt cold, spotting that woman. "Aprilotine...!" He hissed, clenching his fists tightly crouching as his power began to rise with his fury and he jumped but was jerked back by his ankle.
"No Goten stop!" He turned it was Trunks. "Please you can't, it's just as Roshi said she's luring us. She's already got Pan and Bra. Goku and the others aren't here either so we don't need you going off and furthering our disadvantage!" He shouted and looked back at the blue flash of Vegeta teleporting from the frontline, something he never imagined his Father would do. 'And as much as I hate to admit it, Fathers not in any shape to help out. Damn, please Gohan we need you here.'
"But she!" Goten growled furiously, now thinking straight and nodded. He looked back up, feeling Pan's energy. "Get her for me, Pan!" He screamed, getting into a fighting stance as bullets sprayed all over the place as he watched Jero take flight and stand on top of the roof with who he could have sworn were two others but his concentration was cut by his best-friends scream.
Trunks' golden aura burst around him, his Super Saiyan gold erected hair and pony tail falling down behind the back of his purple short sleeved Capsule Corp jacket as his aura hummed. Jealously and envy flowed through Goten.
"Heee, YAH!" Master Roshi tensed up and his muscles exploded in size. Dozens of the RRR soldiers shot up from the back and flew over the ones over the front, KG Soldiers shot their blasters upwards taking a few out but there was too many as tens of soldiers were gunned down from both sides. He adjusted his sunglasses, the battlefield reflected on the lens. "Let's do this! So by my estimation your quote is a hundred and ninety soldiers each. That should hold the line until Goku and Gohan get here."
Yamcha clenched his fists. "Let's kick some ass!"
"Come on! We've got to stop the one's that can fly from getting to Capsule Corp the people are depending on us!" Roshi yelled and everyone flared there aura before flying down and joining the final fight against the RRR.
The Z-Fighters and the Impulses charged forwards and attacked the RRR whilst Eugene hung back.
Videl caught the wrist of a soldier coming at her with a knife, and pulled her knee to her chest before thrust kicking him in the stomach, sending him hurtling into several other before combating another –
Yamcha reared back, narrowly avoiding the crimson coated bullet that scorched his orange Gi before the elder warrior shifted forwards, right hooking soldiers and wrenched another's rifle from his hand and gunned down several other green armoured RRR Soldiers until there was no more ammo and smacked a soldier across the face, knocking him out –
Deval jumped high up into the air and pulled back his fists quickly where the pulled back and like an elastic band fired forwards rapidly, cracking the ground and punching breaking the bones of many of the RRR Soldiers –
Goten swooped down from the air and planted his foot into the jaw of a soldier who skidded across the grass. He then crouched into a stance and five other soldiers ran at him with knifes, but he quickly squatted down and low kicked in a full spin knocking each of the soldiers down –
Pumping his hands out Bliz constantly back-stepped whilst firing ice blasts whilst the RRR fired at him, his ice either exploded beforehand creating pillars of ice which exploded after several shots from the Soldiers, or they froze the ground causing them to slip over or they froze them instantly in statues of ice –
Whilst Pebbles had transformed into his rock form, tanking blasts from the RRR grabbing and hurtling into others and punching them in the chest, breaking ribs instantly –
Eugene took to the balcony, covering himself from stray blasts which impacted against the Brief's houses force field and he concentrated summoning several hard-hologram Angels and Devils which fired arrows at the RRR Soldiers beyond the barrier, piercing their tanks causing them to explode and kill several of their soldiers nearby –
Whilst Trunks' golden aura hummed around him as he dodged and blocked the fists and kicks of several soldiers which had surrounded around him. Then he flared his aura with a yell and the soldiers hurtled back from the sheer force of his Super Saiyan power –
Master Roshi pushed out his hand and fired a Kiai Wave which forced several Soldiers back who were firing at him and punched another straight in the face, cracking the mask and knocking him out. He shook his large aching hand and spun his purple cane and then behind his back before slamming the end of the cane into the concrete and jumped up narrowly missing the bullets that fired past him as the soldiers ran close to the cane. In that instant he pulled his clawed hands to his side, an azure light sparked –
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
He yelled and pushed his clawed hands out and fired the thin azure beam straight down at the cane and the soldiers who aimed their weapons upwards before dropping them and running when the saw it. The Original Kamehameha detonated and a ball of smoke blasted out throwing the soldiers back whilst others further away turned growling at Roshi who descended from the air and landed in the area where blue essences sparked in the air still before fading.
He grabbed his purple cane which immediately crumbled into millions of pieces. "Oh crap!"
Yamcha turned his mouth in a small o seeing this. He then took a smack to the back of his head from a Soldier with a rifle making him grimace in pain, before he twisted around and smashed his elbow into the Soldiers chest knocking the wind from him before he dropped unconscious and then he rolled backwards from the Soldiers laser which zapped past him, before he kicked the soldier under the chin and vaporised travelled on vaporising several other soldiers in a puff of smoke –
Videl wrapped her legs around a Soldiers throat and swung down forwards, smashing him down on his back. She turned and a crimson bullet hit the side of her arm, burning her white shirt and tearing a chunk of her arm out. "AH!" She gripped her right arm in pain and clenched her fist as several soldiers gathered in front of her, aiming their rifles so swung her hand and the Kiai Wave shot out impacting the soldiers and broke bones.
"The odds are way too high against us don't fight in one place." Roshi yelled. "Spread out!"
And with that Trunks, Goten, Videl, Yamcha, Bliz and Pebbles flew to different areas of Capsule Corp as soldiers began to follow suit.
Bliz sprinted in zig-zags, avoiding the cross-fire from all corners of the battleground at Capsule Corp. He lifted his hands and occasionally fired ice-blasts freezing the RRR Soldiers and then turned and fired a Ki-Blast which destroyed the ice sculpture and the soldiers in it.
He smiled at his work and then he took an unexpected punch across the face sending him bouncing across the floor before he scrambled to his feet, blood and grazes covered his face and dirt coated his clothes. The Soldier shot in the air, Bliz's eyes widened as he aimed his rifle and fired –
Quickly he fired ice at the ground and a pillar shielded him taking the blunt of the fire, as the bullets cracked the ice wall allowing Bliz the time to dash into the air and shot another spree of ice blasts to freeze the foes and shot Ki-Blasts to destroy them.
He breathed hanging in the air and the sudden whoosh drew him back to the fight.
The green fighter-jet with the RRR logo on its wing u-turned and fired at Bliz who gasped pushing out his hands trying to form a Ki-Barrier which Goku had taught them. His hands sparked but he couldn't do it and instead quickly twisted but he was too slow and the bullets caught his leg, piercing through his tibia and out through the calf muscle causing him to roar in pain. The jet began to come back so acting quickly Bliz pushed out his hand and shot out an ice beam which blocked the oncoming bullets and froze the cannon, causing the bullets to explode in the cannon in a ball of fire ripping the wing off as the plane lost control and fired down as Bliz also dropped from the air.
He hit the ground and breathed harshly in agony as more Soldiers circled around him.
BAM!
Pebbles punched through another tank and Mech-Suit as he ran through Soldiers their bullets bouncing off his muscular grey rock coated skin as continued his assault ploughing through more and more soldiers.
Then steel chains wrapped around his body which he grabbed and spun around his head throwing the soldiers up into the air as more and more of the army began to gather around him as panted vigorously.
"Gah... These guys just don't give up!"
Videl bared her teeth as she flew through the city, her shoulder-length black-hair in the red headband wavered in the intense winds as she weaved and twirled around the buildings using them as cover from the roaring flying soldier's bullets which shredded the sides of the skyscrapers, shattering the glass into thousands of pieces.
She turned continuing her flight backwards as she outstretched her hands and started unleashing a frenzy of yellow Ki-Blasts at the army, some dodging and some were shot the blasts too powerful for them as they exploded into them and caused them to fall to the ground below.
She gasped, hearing roars and feeling the Ki of more soldiers coming behind her and a bullet shot through her shoulder making her cry out, as blood ran down her right arm soaking the loose white shirt before she flared her white aura and tried to get away again, dodging gunfire until –
BAM! A fist smacked across her face and she was rocketed down but before she hit the building she vanished with a thffft.
And they reappeared on top of a building; Videl leant against the doorway sitting on the floor looking at Goten.
"Goten? Hey, thanks... That was... Close, I can't thank you enough."
Goten smiled, his orange Gi was tattered and his face was bruised and his body was burnt from gunfire and from shielding the KG Soldiers from grenades and blasters. "Sure you'd do the same. Plus I wouldn't be a very good brother if I let his wife get hurt now would I?"
"There they are!" One of the Soldiers called, pointing at them on the roof.
The RRR Soldiers laughed, gathering around all above Videl and Goten.
"I'll be right back." He said, his brows lowered as he lifted himself into the air never taking his eyes of the Soldiers and clenched his fists by his sides leaning forwards.
"FULL FORCE ATTACK!" One of them roared and the Soldiers dashed forwards towards Goten, his voice echoing as time slowed and Goten super-sped forwards faster than anyone of them could see –
Delivering a thrust kick to the gut of one –
Hitting another in the nose, breaking through the helmet –
An uppercut to solar plexus of the next –
A kick to another's head –
A knee to one's chin –
With a chop to the back of the neck of another –
And so forth until before even any of them knew what had happened they all suddenly dropped from the air, unconscious as Goten skidded against the roof of the next nearby building.
Trunks punched a Soldier across the face, cracking the mask and the soldier dropped dead. He turned and gasped narrowly managing to super-speed away from the crashing Fighter-Jet which exploded into the ground where he just was in an explosion of fire, throwing several nearby soldiers all over the place.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
He groaned in pain as several hundred bullets suddenly began to pelt into his back and legs, ripping through his clothes, not strong enough to pierce his skin but leave nasty burns. Quickly he turned and fired a Ki-Blast which detonated the ground killing soldiers and throwing others.
BOOM!
Trunks turned and gasped watching KG Soldiers hurtle into the air from the powerful explosion.
"Oh no!" The RRR had broken through the barricades and their soldiers began to pour in killing the KG Soldiers with their superior gunfire, grenades, tanks and mech-suits.
Trunks clenched his fists by his side and screamed pushing his power as far as it would go. Azure lightning crackled around his form, his golden aura hummed violently flaring higher and higher. His golden pony tail erected and the hair-bobble burst into flames as he became a Super Saiyan Two.
He watched the KG Soldiers face a large tank, the cannon building with a golden light -
"Ahhh!" He roared and charged forwards, firing several Ki-Blasts which destroyed several soldiers and knocked the one's in Mech-Suits over and then dived in front of the Tanks blast, taking the full force of the explosion before he was fired backwards protecting the KG Soldiers.
He hissed and groaned, clambering to his feet. That blast had injured him way more than he thought. Blood dripped down his face and his body was burned. He felt his ribs and cried out, they were fractured some completely snapped. His purple short sleeved jacket, black top and trousers were shredded, revealing his abs, pectorals and his calf of his right leg. The azure lighting and golden aura crackled and flared weakly.
"Great..." He wined, watching the tanks cannon charge with azure light once again.
"Once is enough!" Quickly he lifted his hands up into the air; a golden swirled above them and then expanded into a large golden ball.
ZAM! The tank fired, skidding back from the recoil as the azure beam rushed towards Trunks.
"FINISH BUSTER!" The Super Saiyan Two stepped forwards, his boot crunching into the concrete as he threw his body forwards and the golden sphere fired forwards and collided with the azure beam throwing out several shockwaves which detonated the ground beneath as the Finish Buster forced back the beam and exploded into the massive green RRR tank in a fiery explosion which surged up into the air as the metallic armour was thrown all over the place, cutting through other RRR Soldiers nearby.
Trunks panted, his aura humming wildly with the azure lightning crackling occasionally. He smirked, proud of his work and turned to meet the giant blue flying fist smash across his face.
He spun around and rebalanced himself, wiping the blood from his sore lip. The fist flew back and the large blue fist reattached itself to the Mech-Suit. A RRR Soldier grinned behind the glass window of the bulky machine; the belly bulged out with the RRR ribbon logo plastered on the front.
"HEY GOLD FREAK!"
Trunks turned to the voice of the green armoured RRR Soldier who threw a grey grenade which exploded immediately upon hitting the ground and Trunks covered his body with his arms as the smoke covered him and the area around him –
He choked; the gas burnt his throat and then a searing agony shot through before he screamed wildly at the sudden stabbing/burning pain in his right leg made him fall backwards. He removed his hands which now covered in blood as he felt the warm crimson liquid running down his boots and soaked his black trousers. Then building up courage he hissed and made himself to look and gasped at the sight.
There was a grapple gripped around his leg with a rope coming out from the back. The arrow had shot through the back of his right calf and shattered through his fibula and tibia bones, then felt the grapple jerk sending shocking pain through his body before he was jerked forwards and spun around.
In instinct he sat up and grabbed the robe fully intent on breaking it to end the horrifying pain that was ripping his leg off. His hands began to glow with Ki as he held his breath, his mouth was on fire as his skin began to blister and swell.
Wooosh!
When he heard it he suddenly looked up to see the rocket fired towards him, immediately he covered his face with his arms and the missile hit –
BANG! Trunks screamed, the poison gas was relinquished consumed by the explosion which threw Trunks like a rag doll down and exploding into the ground, grinding through the concrete, knocking over Soldiers from both sides, through a lorry and into a building slap bang in the middle of the RRR Army.
Trunks opened his eyes with a horrible groan. His muscles trembled as he sat up, his purple short-sleeved jacket was shredded and burnt all over the place, his black long sleeved top ripped and burnt into his blistered, blooded and bruised skin. The black trousers ripped to shreds revealing his burnt and slashed quadriceps. His right leg was broken, the grapple still in and coiled around his leg with the rope still hanging out from the back.
His golden aura and azure electricity sparked weakly, not once had he expected to be bested by them this quickly. He looked around him, hearing the violence of gunfire, explosions and screams.
Then he noticed through blurred vision dozens of RRR Soldiers began to step slowly towards them poised holding their rifles tightly ready to shoot.
Quickly he looked around and saw a steel bar. He grabbed it and pushed himself up, leaning on the steel bar taking the weight of his broken right leg.
"Come on!" Trunks hissed through his bloody bared teeth and flared his golden aura, the lighting sparked to life and he was ready to fight once more.
Vegeta watched from the window of the Capsule Corp meeting room, watching bullets soar past and through heads of KG Soldiers who dropped down to the ground.
Exploding tanks and jets littering the ground in bullets as the blooded old Yamcha was thrown across the floor, where he rebounded again and fought tirelessly with Roshi who took a punch across the face from soldier who fired at him but he managed to move out of the way.
He could feel Deval, Bliz, Pebbles, Goten and Videl fighting hard trying to reduce the numbers of the massive army of Jero Ribbon who just kept relentlessly attacking gradually wearing down the fighters and the KG Soldiers. But what really caught his attention was Trunks, his son's Ki was waning he was gravely injured he could feel it and made his stomach churn. It would give out soon. He had to...
Vegeta's hands tightened around the arms of his wheelchair, his grey hair shifted a little. He grit his teeth.
"This is horrible. Oh come on Goku, Gohan get back soon!" Bulma pleaded, her hands clasped together watching the rampage outside alongside Occidente, Valese and Hercule.
"They'll win. They, they have to!" The aged Champion of the World said, clenching his fists also wanting to help but he knew this was far above him.
"I'm going out there."
Bulma turned to Vegeta who looked through the window. His voice was sober, but determined, a feeling she hadn't felt from him in a long time. She lowered her brow.
"No." She replied. "You're not going out there Vegeta you're in a wheelchair for crying out loud!"
"Nevertheless I'm strong enough to make a difference." He gritted his teeth, still looking through the window.
Bulma walked forwards, now in front of Vegeta, eyes glowering down at him. "Last time I say it. You're not going out there! You hate being able to barely walk, now imagine if you were paralysed from the neck down!" His eye twitched and he growled with fury, the room began to shake as cracks ran up the wall but Bulma pressed on. "Just wait for Goku and Gohan to get back, they'll handle this!"
"Silence woman!" Vegeta screamed, panting with rage as Bulma, Occidente, Hercule and Valese jumped back in fright at the elder Saiyan in the wheelchair. "You can't sense Ki! You can't sense what's going out there! You can't sense that our son is in danger like I can!"
Bulma stepped back, her eyes wide. "Vegeta..." She said softly, feeling the raw emotion in her Husband's voice.
"I don't care what happens to me. Look at me I'm a Saiyan, the Prince of all Saiyans and I'm reduced to a mere cripple..." He looked down, his lips wavered and tears formed in his eyes. "But I cannot just stand here and simply watch as Jero attempts to take over the world like that wretched Tuffle did. I swear it." He clenched his fist, the fingerless gloves leather crunched in his hand.
Bulma looked at Vegeta for a long time, the roaring of the huge battle in her front yard thundered. "Just come back to me, okay?" She smiled.
Vegeta looked at her, smiled and in an azure flash he disappeared –
-and reappeared right in the centre of the warzone. The short grey haired Saiyan's face was in a scowl, his wheelchair settled in the ripped to pieces yard, the grass either blood soaked, littered with dead or heavily wounded soldiers. Without moving his head he looked to his right, RRR Soldiers faced away from him firing their crimson coated bullets at KG Soldiers some hurling grenades, then he looked to the left, the same scene soldiers facing away firing he heard a the explosion of massive bomb in the background as the fire soared up into the air before dispersing.
Then one of the RRR Soldiers who circled him turned, and then looked back over his shoulder, before fully turning, his rifle aimed at Vegeta who glowered.
"Hey, how'd you get there old man!"
The RRR Soldier shouted, his voice muffled through the face mask. Others began to turn and also aimed their rifles.
"Surrender," Vegeta simply said, and then he pointed his thumb of his right hand at himself. "Otherwise you face me, Vegeta, the Prince of Saiyan."
They laughed.
"Yeah right, it's over old man." The Admin, wearing black the lines over his masks' eyes and mouth were red. His rifle held high. "See ya in hell cripple!" He fired, as did the other –
Vegeta's eyes snapped open wide; a transparent yellow shield surrounded him, the rapid fire of bullets bounced off. "HA!" He screamed and the shield widened before exploding out in a spherical wind, impacting the soldiers sending them all head over heels to the ground.
The old wrinkled Saiyan in the wheelchair breathed out. 'Come on. I can do this.' He inwardly said, inclining his head, balling his fists holding over arms to the side of his wheelchair and began to let out a low growl. His grey/white short hair wavered and his white aura began to hum echoing above the noise of the battlefield.
Vegeta's growl began to rise in volume and tone. A golden glow enveloped him before his aura changed colour and grew higher. His black pupils flickered and then became green as his short spiky hair sharpened and became gold along with his tail.
The Soldiers struggled, some beginning to clamber to their feet before being shot down by the KG Soldiers. They looked at Vegeta.
"One more, one more level I can show you in my condition." Vegeta took in a deep breath and his aura began to flare brightly as he slowly levitated high in the air above his wheelchair, his legs hung limply.
He clenched his fists by his hips, he could feel a sharp agonising pain in the bottom of his back but he fought through it and grit his teeth. He tensed his muscles and built-up his power again, forcing through the pain forcing through the transformation. His golden hair stood straighter and azure spark ran up his body with his powerful aura. He narrowed his eyes at the soldiers and slowly he lowered himself back into his wheelchair and did his best to hide his grimace. The pressure in his back was immense. He was experiencing more pain than he had thought.
The RRR Soldiers held their arms up, the immense light generated from Vegeta's form reflected off their armour.
Trunks climbed out the rubble, his head bowed breathing heavily.
The RRR Mech-Suits alongside Soldiers and tanks were proving to be more and more challenging every passing moment and the army was still very much alive and to top it off he could sense the others weren't faring much better than him. The spark of energy shot through his senses –
"Huh?" Trunks looked up, past the stunned army another Saiyan had emerged and he couldn't believe who it was. "Father?!" He exclaimed, stepping forwards grinning with glee.
"Get em' Father!"
Without wasting any more time Vegeta put his hands behind his wheelchair, the palms forcing away. "HAAA!" He roared and fired a massive Kiai and he propelled forwards leaving a sonic boom in his wake which hurtled soldiers and Mech-Suits behind him away.
The stunned RRR Soldiers led by the Admin lifted their rifles and shot at him, their bullets exploding against the ground –
Vegeta cocked back his right fist –
And smashed a right cross into the jaw of the Admin in black armour, decapitating him sending his head bouncing across the floor as he continued forwards and then pushed his hands out and began unleashing a frenzy of Ki-Blasts as he jabbed his hands back and forth, unleashing golden energy in all directions vaporising RRR Soldiers, Mech-Suits, tanks and destroying Fighter-Jets that shot down at him.
Then another tank turned, much larger than the rest, one which Goten, Yamcha, Videl, Roshi, Deval, Bliz and Pebbles backed away from as it positioned it's cannon at the charging furious Vegeta. An azure light began to build –
Vegeta grabbed the right wheel of his chair and grinded to a halt, and then outstretched his hand the fingers together aimed at the massive RRR tank and a huge blue ball flared to life at the end of it.
The Tank fired!
The azure beam raced towards Vegeta threatening to destroy him and Capsule Corp behind him.
"Big Bang Attack!" He yelled, the ball of energy leaping from his fingers towards the opposing beam and the two collided in the middle with an enormous crash as spherical wave after spherical wave rebounded, throwing soldiers to the ground as Roshi and the other covered their bodies with their arms bracing against the force of the energy as the two cancelled each other out.
And before the smoke could clear Vegeta shot out through it and through the tanks armour and out the other end earning a gasp from Jero Ribbon on top of the building as he watched the battle unfold. Within seconds, azure light began to escape from the cracks of the armour as the core had been destroyed and then it exploded in a massive deafening fire ball. The winds throwing everybody to the ground as debris and metal shards were flung at high speeds all over, some cutting through soldiers on both sides as some smash through the walls of buildings.
The winds hit Vegeta throwing him to the road as he landed on his shoulder with a painful crunch, but he managed to control his fall and bounced off his hand high into the air, a pair of golden orbs glowed over his hands as he flew high into the cold winter air and stopped, overlooking the battle ground.
Futilely the RRR Soldiers lifted their weapons once more, but then Vegeta, the aged Super Saiyan Two began to unleash another frenzy of energy all over the battlefield.
The rapid fire of Ki rained down everywhere eliminating every remaining RRR Soldier as Vegeta screamed forcing himself to continue the assault despite his body pleading him to stop. Then he raised his hands into the air, a ball of crackling orange energy radiated between them.
"Welcome to oblivion!" Vegeta threw the sphere of destruction down and the rest of the thousand of RRR Soldiers were immediately annihilated. The wave of Ki sent a tsunami over the back of the city vaporising buildings and destroying any of the fleeing RRR Soldiers leaving none of them surviving.
Roshi got up, breathing heavily. His muscular arms and legs were covered in massive gashes, burnt all over from bullets and his right eye was swollen shut, his sunglasses had been destroyed in the battle. Yamcha in an equally beaten state, next to him Goten, Videl, Bliz, Deval and Pebbles landed beside him.
"I have to hand it to you Vegeta. Even crippled you really are an incredible warrior."
He looked up at Vegeta who hung limply, his golden aura flaring and lightning sparking around him.
Vegeta panted, sweat poured from his old muscular body, soaking his red shirt his leather jacket and trousers stuck to him. His back ached and throbbed horribly, the pain was excruciating now but he had achieved what he needed to.
"That...should even things out. I'll leave the rest to you all now..."
Vegeta laughed quietly grinning before his golden aura faded, his golden hair turned back to grey/white and he fell forwards falling from head first.
"Oh no, Vegeta!"
Goten shouted, dashing forwards seeing him fall and went to grab him before he hit the ground. Then he jolted and saw Trunks appear, catching his Father in his arms. His golden aura flaring, making Goten envious as the two descended.
"Thanks dad." Trunks smiled, settling his unconscious Father back in his wheelchair.
Then the damaged and burnt Yamcha, Roshi, Videl, Bliz, Deval, Eugene and Pebbles with his rock body chipped and broken with bullet holes began to gather around Trunks, Goten and the unconscious Vegeta.
Jero Ribbon descended down from the building with his arms behind his back and stared adjusted his red RRR bowtie whilst staring soberly at the Z-Fighters.
"Listen. It's over, your army's been defeated, just give it up." Roshi advised, glaring at the youthful Jero who stared soberly.
"So you've defeated the army I presented here today, very well. But I should -"
"Hey!" The voice of someone above cut Jero off –
"It's Dende!" Goten shouted, pointing upwards.
"Who?" Jero furrowed, looking up to see the red floating carpet descending. Mr. Popo stood on top arms crossed and Dende sat cross-legged, giving the warriors a wave before the two got off the carpet. Mr. Popo clapped once and the carpet faded out of existence.
"Dende, what are you doing here?" Roshi asked. "Shouldn't you be on the Lookout?"
Dende looked down, holding his brown staff. "I... I felt useless looking down on everything's that happened from the Lookout. I'm Earth's Guardian and yet I was doing nothing but watching as the RRR took over Earth's cities. It's my duty as Guardian to help. took some convincing but eventually I persuaded him and we agreed. We got on the magic carpet, it took awhile to get here with the fighter-jets and all but in the end we got here."
"So I see. You're the new Guardian." Jero studied the Namekian in white a purple robes. "I hate to cut your reunion short, but you can all continue it in the Otherworld."
"And how do you intend on doing that on yourself?!" Yamcha proclaimed, clenching his fist. "On your own you'll never defeat us!"
Jero smirked. "That's why I brought reinforcements." He lifted his right arm and clicked his fingers, and that's when Videl noticed two shadows of equal heights appearing from either side of the destroyed building walking slowly up beside Jero. Everyone's except for the Impulses eyes widened and their jaws dropped.
On the right the man wore navy blue gold tipped boots. Jeans; ripped over the left knee. Gold belt, the RRR ribbon logo emblazed on it. Brown golden trimmed vest and navy blue spandex showing his lean but muscular form.
On the left the woman wore brown golden trimmed cowboy boots. Black legging, short blue skirt with an identical golden RRR belt. A short blue denim jacket, black undershirt, her arms pale meeting gold wristbands and grey fingerless gloves.
Seventeen,
Eighteen,
"No way," Yamcha said, stammering. "There's...just no way. That's Eighteen, and Seventeen to. But what's happened to them both?"
"Vegeta foresaw this..." Goten said, his heart raced feeling like he had taken a blow to gut as Eighteen glared at the group whilst smirking with her brother and Jero Ribbon. "Dad said he fought Seventeen, he's the one who destroyed King Furry's castle and Vegeta said this might be the reason for Eighteen abduction... But...but I...we aren't seriously going to fight her are we?!" He shouted, looking at Trunks who's long lavender hair blew in the breeze his eyes wide unable to speak.
"Hn," Eighteen brushed her long blonde hair behind her left ear. "What's wrong boys, you were happy to fight me at the World Tournament when you were only this big," She gestured with her hand just below her hip. "What's the matter, lost your nerve, don't wanna play with me now?"
"Eighteen," Roshi stepped forwards, his face furrowed confused. "Why are you on Jero's side, what do you think you're doing, what about Krillin and Marron?"
Eighteen's eye twitched, just for a moment, so fast Roshi almost didn't spot the tick. 'Interesting...'
She remained silent, looking at Roshi with her ghostly blue eyes. "Those names, they have no meaning to me anymore. My past before the great Jero Ribbon enlightened me has no purpose anymore. I belong to the Red Ribbon Revolution, now designated Perfect Eighteen."
"Yeah," Seventeen added, smirking at the Roshi and the others with arms out. "It's no use trying to lecture us about the past. We're changed; Jero's upgraded us and made us stronger than before. Right now we could crush Cell in an instant." He clenched his fist.
Jero frowned, hearing the remark but brushed it off and smiled. "Yes. Before my Androids were incomplete, imperfect even, but now I've managed to make them greater." He grinned. "Now they're Perfect, by far my greatest accomplishment."
"Whilst on the subject of Perfection," Jero looked at Dende with his cold blue eyes. "I wanted to also wish back Cell to this realm in order to make my army that little bit more complete. However, I couldn't for the life of me find the Dragon Balls, even with Bulma's Dragon Radar, apart from one I must admit the four star ball located in Uub's apartment. I must ask why this is."
"Hm," Dende looked at him, beside him. He turned his green hands so his palms pointed at the group, they glowed orange, hidden behind Vegeta's wheelchair as he began to heal the group. "So you want to know why you couldn't find them?" He stalled.
Videl was the first notice the affects, the warm energy hit her first her burns and cuts began to disappear and knit up. Her black eye fading, she turned but Roshi tapped her and looked up at her, his injuries also fading Videl understood and looked back at Jero.
"Yes. That is what I asked, Namekian." Jero frowned, anxious to hear where the Dragon Balls were.
"About eleven years ago, we had an instant which meant the Elder Kai and Piccolo had to take them away." He said, continuing his healing process, everyone was nearly healed and then a look from Seventeen made his heart skip a beat but the Android merely nodded much to his confusion. "The reason you can find the Four Star Dragon Ball is because it means a lot to Goku, that's why he got to keep it." Dende noticed Vegeta's face stir, he was done. "I have no interest in explaining the events to the likes of you any more than I have."
"Elder Kai? You mean the King Kai, the one who trained Goku in the afterlife to combat the Saiyans?" Jero asked, confused.
"After your time." Trunks glared stepping forward, his wounds completely healed the only evidence of his battle was his ripped black shirt, trousers and boots like the others. "And if you're still going on about the Saiyans I've gotta say your data is way outdated."
"It does not matter, I'll gain all the information I need soon enough." Jero said. "And do not think I didn't notice your little stunt Dende." Jero glared and Dende gasped. "If I wanted to stop you I would have, but it doesn't matter to me if the fighters here are at full power or not. They're still insects compared to my Perfect Androids."
He smiled, looking through the crowd.
"And it seems we Vegeta has returned to the land of living."
Bra looked back; her Father's energy had skyrocketed. She hadn't sensed his warm energy like this...since back then. She smiled slightly, before lowering her blue brow furiously at Aprilotine who was still leading them away from the city.
Pan was slightly in front of her with Mako behind her.
"Enough!" She yelled and super-sped forwards, Pan gasped and Bra appeared in front of Aprilotine who grinned. "This is far enough. I've had enough of following you, we'll fight down there." Bra pointed down at the small island, waves crashing into the sides of its jagged dark grey cliffs which stretched up for miles and over the rocky wasteland, it almost looked like a small coliseum of some sort.
"Very well," Aprilotine replied. "I was thinking of somewhere a little closer to civilisation, where somebody would actually find your mangled bodies when I'm finished so you could get a proper burial." She said, looking back at Pan and Mako who finally caught up. "But if you all wish to just rot and be eaten by the vultures then that's fine by me." She shrugged. "Well I'm waiting, come on down." She said and descended as did Bra who crossed her arms.
Pan followed pondering and so did Mako.
"She's up to something..." Mako said feeling trepidation enveloping his body of flames.
"You're not the only one." Pan nodded. 'I don't like the feel of this. She has the advantage over us on an island like this, Bra knows that... And Aprilotine feels different too, her energy it's familiar. Where have I felt that?' She pondered and then it hit her. 'Goten! That's Goten's energy I can feel.'
"Pan, what's the matter?" Mako asked concerned as the four neared the rocky battleground.
"It's... I'm not sure if I'm right, but if I am we could be trouble." Pan turned to him and looked him straight in the eyes. "You need to go. It's not safe for you here anymore."
"Not happening. I won't let you fight alone!" Mako shouted, his flames raged catching Pan's attention. "I won't leave you again like the last time Pan. If it wasn't for me, Eugene and Marron you wouldn't have escaped the last time you attacked her at her fortress!"
Pan was at a loss for words.
"And I would never forgive myself if you got hurt or worse..." Mako turned away, clenching his glowing molten fists.
"Okay, just make sure you stay back. Attack her from a distance if we're in trouble." Pan said and Mako nodded.
Tac.
The four of them landed with Bra facing Aprilotine with a malicious grin plastered over her face as Pan and Mako walked around so they were behind Bra. Aprilotine's black boots hit the earth below, and she felt reconnected once again. The air around her in this wasteland of an island blew around her, tickling as it ran through her short spiky ginger hair which ran down her forehead like an upside down V. She grinned, with her hands behind her blue military jacket with the RRR logo on the left side.
Bra unfolded her words and clenched her white gloved fists. "So I hear your Impulse abilities allow you to control the ground?" She asked. "I figured you'd be at your best on this island, that's why I stopped you when I did. After all, you have to give weaklings like you some chance, right?" She grinned but Aprilotine was unmoved.
"And that will be your downfall I'm afraid, beaten by your own arrogance and stubbornness. I've beaten opponents far stronger than myself before thanks to Master Shen. Pan can vouch for that." She cocked her head at the girl in the orange tunic.
"Hn," Bra sneered. "You beat Pan because she's an idiot, her battle sense vanished ever since she stopped training with Goku. But I can assure you that I for one was trained by my Father, Vegeta the Prince of every single Saiyan. I could defeat someone like you in an instant."
"The cripple, yes?" Aprilotine asked.
Bra nearly lost it right there, her brows harsh and her Ki was boiling, but then Pan stepped in.
"Thanks for the nice comment Bra." Pan stuck her tongue out at her rival and then looked at the RRR Admin. "Well I for one just want to know why." Pan proclaimed, Aprilotine set her eyes on Pan. "Since you and your organisation are going to be defeated today, you may as well explain why you'd join the RRR before we stop you."
"So you want to know why I do this. It's because someone has to step up." Aprilotine admitted much to Pan's confusion. "When Prince Baby unleashed the Destron Gas and we all became those filthy alien Tuffles my fiancé was amongst the millions who were killed." She bowed her head and swallowed. "And where were you and your father's during the massacre of our people? If you were so strong why did you allow so many to die, I loved him and Baby killed him because you wouldn't help anyone but your own."
"I understand," Pan bowed her head and stepped towards Aprilotine beside Bra before looking at her. "You're suffering that's why you joined the RRR. But you have to know we tried our best to defeat Baby, but he was just so strong. It took Vegeta turning into an Oozaru God to best him, before the whole ordeal with Raichi came around."
"Don't. You. Dare!" Aprilotine ground her teeth, her fists clenched tightly by her sides. "You'll never understand what I went through! I joined the RRR to make a difference I want to fight for the people and defeat any invaders like Baby before they get the chance to destroy us like last time." She yelled and spread her legs apart crouching clenching her fists and bowing her body.
Pan gasped, feeling the sudden rise in Aprilotine's energy.
"AND I'LL DO IT WITH THIS!"
Aprilotine screamed and her white aura suddenly exploded around her pushing Mako back as Pan and Bra watched in awe and disbelief.
"But that's..." Bra gaped.
"Yes it's Goten's energy!" Pan confirmed.
Her white aura erupted electricity crackled turning gold reflecting against her blue trench coat, trousers and the metal pads over her shoulders, forearms and shins as her short spiky ginger hair wavered violently, gold sparks began to crackle around her.
She pulled her hands over her head, her body tensed grunting before with another roar she forced her arms down and her body up with her head back looking up at the sky, levitating as spherical waves shot out of her body, the earth below them shook and lifted out of the ground before exploding. Storm clouds gathered over head and then Pan's eyes widened.
Aprilotine's short ginger hair began to shift, erecting becoming gold her brown pupils turning green as her power continued to rise past that of a Super Saiyan.
"No way!" Pan struggled, the sheer power now forcing her back as she watched azure lightning running up through Aprilotine's body and zapping out at the top, a stray azure bolt from the skies above hit her and exploded against the ground before with one last almighty scream her power exploded unleashing a golden explosion enveloping the area.
Pan and Bra stared in shock and disbelief as they heard the familiar aura.
As the large rocks fell back to the ground Aprilotine Admin of the RRR breathed, her golden lighting filled aura hummed and sparked around her as she slowly lowered her head and glared with a sinister teeth filled smirk at Pan, Bra and Eugene.
"This is the power I was talking about. And after I've killed you two I'll only get stronger and stronger until nothing in the Universe can harm this planet again!" Aprilotine shouted her golden erected hair her fringe shaped like a V stood tall shimmering with power.
"Now come all of you at once. Face me!"
Vegeta's eyes opened, he groaned and looked up to see Jero and the two beside him. Even though they had grown to around Goku's height and their facial appearances had changed especially for the man he knew exactly who they were.
"So my hunch was right," Vegeta said, everyone turned to him as he gripped the arm of his wheelchair. "Eighteen is with the RRR now, what a shame." He mocked and Eighteen scowled. "Seems I'll get to turn you into a toaster after all,"
"And you," He looked at Perfect Seventeen now. "How can you follow Jero. He's the reincarnation of the very man who turned you into the pathetic tin cans that you both are. In fact I seem to recall you killing him, what an odd twist, eh?" Vegeta scowled, Perfect Seventeen's mouth opened into a small o his pupils shook. "Absolutely useless, both of you, crawling back to like the pitiful dogs you are. I should have destroyed you both back then."
"Back when you had the chance," Eighteen laughed. "And how dare you call us pitiful, look at you, demented cripple."
Vegeta grit his teeth, clawing his fingers into her wheelchair crushing the handles.
"Look he knows that he has absolutely no chance against us." Perfect Seventeen chuckled. "Seems he got past his anger and egotist issues after all these years. Have to give him credit for that, I guess."
Trunks roared, his long lavender hair shifted and erected becoming gold before his golden aura burst out filling with azure lightning as he became a Super Saiyan Two as everyone around him gasped at the unexpected outburst.
"Enough of this!" Trunks shouted. "I've had about all I can stand today! Just give up and quit already it's only a matter of time before this unoriginal idea of yours is destroyed." Trunks bared his teeth and looked at Krillin's wife. "And Eighteen, if you continue down this path I'll have to destroy you too."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You can try boy, but I'm afraid at your level my Perfect Androids will have no problem dismantling you. Now Perfect Seventeen, Perfect Eighteen you have a captive audience to demonstrate what you're truly capable of!" Jero ordered smirking, raising into the air and landing on another building watching from a far.
"That's right! Enough theatrics; let's see what you've got." Perfect Eighteen smirked, looking over at her twin brother.
"Yeah, let us show you all what we can do." Perfect Seventeen added, shifting his long black hair out of his face.
"Come on!" Trunks widened his stance and glared awaiting for the Androids to make their move.
Hey thank you for reading the latest chapter! So everything is prepared for now, Gohan and co are finding Buu, Pan, Bra and Mako are ready to face Aprilotine and the Super Androids are ready to fight the Z-Fighters. Be prepared for a lot of fighting in the next upcoming chapters!
Anyway's until the next one guys. Let me know your thoughts in a review! :)
