"God...it's hurting my eyes just looking at this thing.." Gohan grunted out. Despite this he was unable to tear his gaze from the deformed and grotesque sight that was Majin Janemba. The creature threw its head back and let out a cackle, an echoing laugh that made its skeletal centipede-like body rumble from the motions.

"And that power..." 18 remarked, her eyes wide in stark horror "You said that thing was powerful before, but I don't...I don't think anything has any right to be this strong."

Frieza scowled "It's absorbed several denizens of hell, added a portion of their power to its own by the look of things. Thankfully I don't think he's able to tap into all the power of those he absorbed, so with our combined might we might just have a chance."

It's giant clawed hand swooped down to the gathered warriors, and they were all forced to scatter into the air. Those claws cleaved through rock earth and stone as if they were butter, long claw marks raking into the earth itself and leaving scorch marks wherever they touched.

"Damnit, that's fast..." Vegeta grunted out. Suddenly Janemba's skeletal jaw dropped and it's lengthy snake like tongue flew from the open maw. It exploded into a whole storm of black gooey tentacles, lashing out through the air at blinding speeds with intent to spear anything that got to close.

Krillin was struck first, smacked across the face by one long tendril and sent hurtling up into the clouds. A second one caught his wife, wrapping around her waist and then crashing her through a large tower of rock that shattered when her body connected with it. Gohan shot forth, managing to deftly dodge the incoming strikes with the enhanced speed of a Super Saiyan 2. He shoved one hand out and an arc of lightning exploded from his palm, striking at the heart of the vile mound of tentacles.

The last hit the oily surface with a thunderous explosion. Janemba shrieked from the blast, its tongues retracting back into his mouth with a plume of smoke rising from his exposed teeth. Suddenly the demons whole body seemed to break apart, forming into into a cloud marble sized orbs of tar that shot up into the sky. While they seemed a liquid, they were fully solid when they hit something, as Gohan quickly discovered.

They swarmed and circled around him, the ball bearings striking him repeatedly in the face or the chest, knocking the Half-Saiyan through the air. The others were fairing no better really, all having to move as fast as they could do avoid a beatdown.

The ebony marbles knocked the warriors back through the air, forcing them into one tight cluster and continuing to strike from all sides. Frieza grunted, trying to steady himself, and then his aura suddenly exploded outward "Follow my lead! Flare your auras out, the gusts should knock those things away!"

The others made no response and no objections either. This idea was better than group powered up in unison, a swirling ball of light forming around them and releasing gale force winds. Those black marbles were either scattered to the wind or vaporized by the heat of the ki sphere.

The hundreds of marbles flew up into the ait and then immediately formed into a black cloud of tar that eclipsed the sun hanging in the sky. A storm of lazer fire erupted from the cloud, forcing the group of warriors to scatter once more. However Yamcha was soon struck with one explosive blast and sent crashing face first into the earth. Every missed blast from the twisting mass of tar in the sky struck against the grassy plains, releasing an earth-shaking explosion with every attack.

Finally Majin Janemba reformed fully, small chips missing from his vertebrae from the lost mass but that was only faintly skeletal maw opened again, releasing a deafening shriek that caused shockwaves miles around. The power of the shriek disoriented the warriors, leaving them some very vulnerable targets.

Janemba's skeletal arm raised up, casting a long shadow along the once lush landscape. Then with one swoop Piccolo, Gohan and Inyon were sent hurtling away on collision with the back of Janemba's giant hand.

Just as the eldritch giant prepare to blast his foes to bits, a golden streak flew past his red eyes and collided with the bony black surface of the demon's arm. A destructo disc. Then two pink ones, flung by none other than Android 18, also struck the beasts wrist. They dug in a few centimeters made the demon yowl in pain, and then they were flung into the heavens with a swing of Janemba's wrist.

It was in the time that he was distracted that Goku managed to cross the distance. His arm shot forth and a beam of light flew from his palm, striking Janemba in the left eye and making him shriek in white hit agony. He covered his damaged eye with one hand, leaving him wide open from the left side.

A bullet of ki shot out from Inyon's maw, a powerful explosion ripping into the unguarded side of the demons ribcage. The blast left a small smouldering portion of tar in his chest and staggered him back slightly. While he was stunned Tien and Goku flew up further into the air and took aim at the thrashing demon's back.

Tien's body flashed with mingling red and gold light as an explosiv tri-beam shot from his hands, while Goku launched a barely charged Kamehameha wave from his outstretched hands. Both blasts struck the different shoulder blades with enough explosive power to crack the ebony bone and make the demon shriek again.

Janemba's head suddenly snapped around at a 180 degree angle, the shock making the two seasoned warriors gasp in shock. Two blasts of purple energy erupted from his eyes, the left one now recovered enough to manage it. Tien had to boost his durability to the limit to withstand the blast that sent him hurtling into the heavens, while the beam that struck Goku knocked him away into the horizon.

A sphere of tar exploded from Janemba's ribs while the demon was still looking away, the gellatinous goo encasing and hardening around Inyon, sending her crashing into the battle-scarred plains. Janemba's neck twisted around again, his glare fixed onto 18 and Krillin.

Another bolt of purple light shot from his eye, zig-zagging toward Krillin at a blinding speed. 18 moved forth and held her husband close to intercept the attack, and once it hit she had to endure the brunt of it, the explosive force of it managing to knock them both out and across the cloudy sky.

The giant cackled, its shadow blotting out the ground below. While it was distracted Frieza took a moment to zoom down, and he had to use a decent bit of ki to shatter the super dense surface encased around Inyon.

Up above, Vegeta and Zangya rushed forth together, a combined assault on Janemba's forehead, striking him with all the force they could muster. The combined effort was decent enough all things considered, the power of the two warriors managing to cause visible cracks along the surface of the evil entity's browline.

Of course, their effort was aided by the slew of insults being flung from Vegeta's mouth. "Ugly bastard! Filthy monster! Deformed jackass!" The insults didn't seem to be as effective as they were before, but every word did spread the cracks along the surface of the abominations skull.

Suddenly the cracked ebony flesh began to bubble and ripple, and then a swarm of elongated arms sprung forth. Their fists struck from all sides, every possible angle, and with a force that was shocking to feel. Vegeta was beaten back through the air by the stretching limbs, and then a firm uppercut knocked him clean into the clouds.

Zangya tried her best to hold her ground, managing to block many of the incoming fists. However the sheer number of them was overwhelming and soon she was being struck from all sides. In between blows she managed to grunt out "I...really hate demons!" One ebony fist caught the top the Heran's head, knocking her down to earth and striking it with enough force to split the ground.

It was at that moment that the creature spun around, sensing something amiss. A large blue orb of ki was growing in Goku's palm, his golden aura exploding out off his body. "I'm putting an end to this, right now!" Goku yelled out, just as a golden flash enveloped him and he jumped into his Super Saiyan 3 form.

The explosive Kamehameha wave burst from Goku's hands when he drove them forward, the pale blue blast of light arcing through the air toward the cosmic horror. Janemba's maw suddenly opened side, and then beam of gold and violet light escaped his throat, quickly starting to overwhelm Goku's own attack.

"Masenko!" Gohan roared out, firing off his own golde blast from directly above his father. His attack seemed to merge with Goku's own, but even this did little to stem the tidal wave that was Janemba's mouth blast.

"Gallick Gun!"

"Desctructive Wave!"

Two more blasts joined the fray, the purple blast flung from Vegeta's own hands and the spire of gold chi launched out of Piccolo's palms. These blasts were mighty on their own, and the four were titanic together. However all they were managing to do was slow the speed of the demons blast to a crawl.

Tien and Zangya zoomed in, taking aim with their own attacks. A boosted Kamehameha wave exploded from Tien's palm while Zangya fired off a crackling white ki beam. Those attacks added to the others seemed to finally halt the advance of Janemba's attacks.

The colliding attacks filled the air with the sounds of thunder. The blinding light show cast a blazing glow across the sky for miles around, as if someone had set fire to the clouds above. The surface trembled and quaked in fear of the awful power blazing in the air.

Frieza and Inyon leapt up into the air, the gold of Inyon's SSJ2 aura mingling with the scarlet of Frieza's Super Arcosian aura. Frieza fired off his Punishing Blaster and Inyon released hr Atomic Burst, and finally it seemed these two attacks were adding in enough power to turn the tide of the epic beam struggle.

Inch by inch they closed the distance, and the wriggling monster tried in vain to regain control of the clash. The Z-fighters multiple attacks all seemed to twist and merge into one single beam of multicoloured light, a typhoon of pure energy. "I...I'll end this right now!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs, barely audible against the explosive volume of the beam clash.

Goku's aura seemed to suddenly triple in size, like a golden star blazing in the heavens. He was pouring out almost every bit of ki his Super Saiyan 3 form could pump out. A boom of power ran through the combined attack, and then it finally seemed to overwhelm Janemba with a mighty white hot explosion.

The combined attack faded away into nothing, and the group all breathed out a sigh from the exertion. Goku had spent the most energy from that, transforming back down into his base form, barely able to keep airborne.

The light faded away, returning the sky to its normal hue and revealing Janemba. The left half of his face had been blown clean off by the attack (Yet for some strange reason his left eye was still floating in the air as a glowing red light) as had several of his long red talons. His bony structure was fractured and cracked all along his absurd length, and it seemed the bottom third of his body had been vaporized entirely.

Another shriek passed the monsters maw, the force scattering the group through the air. Piccolo managed to catch Goku and keep him from falling, but he couldn't stop the force launching him skyward. Colour seemed to fade while Janemba shrieked, leaving everything a stark black and white colour. Mountains and hills broke off from the landscape and floated into the air, no longer under the effects of gravity.

"Ngh! Goku, we're out of options...If that thing is made of pure evil energy, then the pure good energy of a Spirit Bomb will be enough to finish it off..." Piccolo said, huffing for breath.

Goku grunted, finding it difficult to even look up at Piccolo "I don't think that guy will give me plenty of time to charge one up...I'll try to do what I can though."

One of the floating mountains flew forth and smashed into Gohan and Tien, the powerful impact making the mountain explode into a cloud of dust and boulders, the power of the blow enough to knock both of the warriors unconscious.

"Damnit all to hell...Okay okay, I'll help you out on this any way I can...I'll make a giant ball of Porunga's dragonfire, we can merge the blasts together...should be enough to finish this thing off." Piccolo remarked. Goku nodded in response and raised his hands above his head, starting to gather the needed energy from the planet.

A portal opened before Zangya, one ebony fist flying out and striking her in the forehead with enough force to knock her out. Inyon leapt back as another portal opened before her, moving just fast enough to avoid the attack. She zoomed into the air until she was floating up with Frieza ad Vegeta, the only other two warriors available.

"You three!" Piccolo yelled out, raising his own arms up "Distract it! We need all the time we can get!"

"Vegeta and I working together..." Frieza mused. His body flashed and he transformed into his Super Arcosian 2 form. However he only had access to half his max power now due to his injured and tired state. "...Well isn't that an interesting turn of events."

Lightning and yellow waves of chi rippled around Vegeta as he powered up to the max of his SSJ2 form, veins popping up along his skin "Tch, don't think this makes us best friends or anything Frieza."

Inyon gave a loud whistle, focusing on the damaged demon flying their way at a surprisingly high speed "Guys! Shut up! Before I put the both of ya's over my knee and paddle your bums."

The trio split up, flying through the white sky with only their auras providing any colour to the area. Inyon zig-zagged rapidly, one of Janemba's eyes moving around and trying in vain to tag her with its eye beams. Vegeta meanwhile zipped under the demons ribcage, a flurry of golden ki balls flying from one palm and exploding against the gooey surface in his chest. Frieza had swug around to the creatures remaining back and started firing off a barrage of death beams into Janemba's spine.

Explosions ran up the length of the damaged abomination, making it thrash and shriek in pain. The tip of Janemba's broken tail swung down and smashed Vegeta toward the surface by complete accident. More broken shards flew from the demons body, drifting off aimlessly into the air.

While Vegeta was hurting down, a large portal opened before the demon and he promptly shot his palm through it, the exit portal opening below Frieza and causing him to hurtle up into the monochrome sky when the strike hit him. The demon twisted his body like a hungry serpent, dodging a blast from Inyon. He caught a boulder with telekinesis and then flung it at Inyon, striking her in the back of the head to disorient her. This time, Janemba's eye beam hit dead on, the explosion sending the injured SSJ2 back through the air with a trail of smoke behind her.

In the sky a vibrant blue ki bubble grew larger with every passing second. Piccolo was straining his remaining ki, and it seemed he had managed to make his green fireball just as large as the Spirit Bomb. They just needed a little more time.

Inyon crashed into the side of one of the floating mountains, her body becoming embedded in the dense layers of rock. She struggled to free herself, but the blast had done a real number on her body and left her muscles aching.

Vegeta shot through the air like a golden bullet, roaring in anger. His fist collided with Janemba's temple with an explosive sonic boom, and with all the force behind the attack it managed to break off Janemba's remaining horn and send it crashing down. Janemba shrieked and jerked back, recoiling from the pain.

"You hurt me..." Janemba hissed, clenching one giant fist. This Saiyan monkey had the audacity to break the horn of Babidi's puppet? The bastard, he deserved to suffer for that. "DIE!" Janemba shrieked out, punching Vegeta with his massive fist and sendig him crashng into one floating island of rock. It split clean in half on impact and managed to knock Vegeta out cold.

Now, there was only Frieza to distract the demon.

It was at that moment that Janemba looked to the sky, the ruined remains of his jaw opening i shock as they beheld Goku and Piccolo forcing their attacks together. The blue sphere and the flaming green sphere were merging and twisting into a supermassive golden mass of light in the air, wisps of jade fire shimmering along the surface. That thing, a combination of lethal fire magic and pure good energy could be fatal if it hit!

He raised his claw up, red lightning running up the length of his claws as he readied himself to blow the two out of the sky. Suddenly a large chunk of mountain struck the giant beast in the wrist, the power of the impact making the rock explode into dust and knocked Janemba's wrist away. He turned, and then his red glare settled on Frieza's charged up form.

"Forgot about me did you...?" Frieza growled. He didn't have to hold him off much longer, but these next few seconds had to count. Jets of fire swirled around Frieza's body, and then they formed into one ball of multicoloured fire in front of his chest.

Then his power erupted, exploded outward like a volcanic eruption. A massive vent of spiraling fire that hit the remaining side of Janemba's face, burning into the black flesh until it began to bubble and grow red hot. Janemba squealed in agony, his whole body growing rigid from the daggers of pain ripping into his brain. This wasn't enough to kill him, but by god was it enough to harm him.

The demons shrill screams of pain kept up, even when Frieza's flamethrower subsided. The Arcosian's body glowed white as he used up most of his remaining ki, and then he was forcibly powered down into his fourth form. Frieza gasped for breath, then let his gaze linger on the melting and smoking ruin of Janemba's head, and he managed to grin at the sight.

"Hmhm...And to think, you were once so handsome." he gathered up his remaining ki, and then with Instant Transmission he vanished and reappeared behind Goku and Piccolo.

Goku steadied himself, before he and his Namek ally yelled and flung their blazing bubble of energy at the badly damaged demon. Janemba raised his maimed hands up, catching the ball in his palms...only for the positive energy and mystic fire to start burning and stripping its way through his hands.

The blast forced his crippled and disfigured form into the earth, quakes and tremors shaking the landscape that grew more intense with every passing inch. Janemba simply couldn't get a good enough grip on this thing to deflect it or even halt its advance.

"This...ends...now!" Goku yelled, loud enough to be heard despite the noise. The flaming Spirit Bomb rippled and shifted against Janemba, and then it finally exploded in a glorious supernova of light, blinding to behold, followed by a noisy explosion so loud it could be mistaken for dragon roaring.

A massive mushroom cloud rose up into the sky, and then colour began to return to the universe. The remaining mountains and hills crashed down to their previous positions, the shuddering crash enough to dislodge Inyon from her prison in the rock. The winds subsided and the smoke began to clear, revealing a deep crater in the plains...and a charred blackened human figure at the deepest part of the hole.

Despite the shock of the sight, Goku was still able to fully register King Kai's voice in his mind "Goku, you did it! The afterlife is back to normal, and the Check-in station is pulling the dead back to their right plane of existence...That creature mustn't have the power to maintain his warped reality anymore."

Goku managed to grin, he and his two allies slowly floating down to the crater. "Is that thing still alive?" Frieza asked, glowering down at the heavily burnt and maimed figure. It looked as if he was melting, pools of black sticky sludge forming around wherever he touched.

The Janemba's eyes shot up, yellow eyes brimming with hatred. He grunted weakly, tried in vain to move...But all the power he had gained from Babidi's spell had utterly deserted him and left him powerless.

"Not for long by the look of things. Let's finish this now." Piccolo remarked, lazily lifting one arm up. He summoned up some remaining ki, emerald fire burned at his fingertips. A final immolating blast would put an end to this.

"Wait!" Goku exclaimed, making Piccolo recoil slightly out of surprise. Goku grunted for breath, and then looked down at the barely alive creature in the crater "That thing...it's a parasite using an innocent kid as a host. We can't...I mean if there's a chance to save him..."

Frieza snorted "And what do you propose we do? Ask him nicely to leave? It's a barely intelligent monster Goku, it can hardly be reasoned with." he explained. Janemba didn't even seem aware that his fate was being discussed, he was still desperately trying to break free from the drying pools of his remains.

Goku hummed in thought. He was no genius, but there had to be...something he could do to save the kid that this monster was piggybacking on. After a few moments of thought, during which both Piccolo and Frieza grew increasingly irritated, he snapped his fingers when a revelation hit "Seal him away inside the kid!"

Piccolo blinked, his face solemn and unreadable. "Excuse me?"

"You know...Use magic and stuff to seal the demon inside the kids body." Goku said, scratching the back of his head in an awkward fashion.

Piccolo grit his teeth "That doesn't solve the problem Goku! That thing down there would still exist, and what would happen if it got loose?! We barely made it away this time! Leaving a power like that in the body of some punk kid is just asking for trouble."

Frieza stood back to observe. His garnet pupils moved between Goku and Piccolo, occasionally lingered on the gagging and rasping form of Janemba, but he made no moves yet. Where was Goku going with this?

"Do you remember when Gohan was a kid? How he had that freakish inner-power that put both of us to shame when it appeared? Were we terrified of him? Did we try to kill him?" Goku grunted, clenching his fists together "No. We trained him, we had him reign in his anger and take better control of his power, made it an asset for us."

"Those are two very different things Goku." Piccolo replied grimly "Gohan was never strong enough to destroy dimensions, he can't change reality on a whim. What you're suggesting is like trying to take control of a tsunami."

Goku exhaled slowly, and then clapped a firm hand onto his former enemies shoulder "Just trust me on this. I can train that kid, I can get him to control that creatures power. Heck, we won't be around forever. Gotta make sure that the youngsters will be able to handle things."

Piccolo hesitated, glancing over at the putrid mess of Janemba's body. Finally he gave a sigh "I guess if he gets loose again we can take him down easily as a combined force...Fine." he strode into the crater, crouched over the barely conscious demon "Frieza come here for a second, I need your help."

The lord of Arcos strode past Goku and into the crater. "Not bad. You might have made for a fine diplomat...if you could focus on anything other than food and fighting." he said dryly. He crouched beside Piccolo, and the two didn't seem remotely bothered by the demons weak attempts to reach for their necks. "What do you have in mind?"

"Psychic and mystic blocks. You do the former, I do the latter." Piccolo replied.

"And you're sure that will work?"

Piccolo shrugged "Goku seems determined to go through this nonsense, so we might as well try it. Just follow my lead." With that the Namekian splayed his fingers out, and then he started to speak in the ancient Namekian language. Old and powerful words, and entire dictionary engraved into his mind from absorbing Nail, Kami and Slak.

Frieza's own palms pushed forth, sparks of purple light dancing around his eyes as he tried to form a mental blockade on the demon to prevent it breaking free. Janemba howled in pain, his melted flesh starting to crack and suck inward, Then he began to glow as magic and psychic power worked in tandem to seal him away in the deepest recesses of the young ogre's mind.

The sludge vanished away into dust, revealing the uninjured form of Saike underneath. His eyes opened slowly and he crawled up onto his hands and knees "Oww...where am I...?"

He looked up, saw Frieza and Piccolo loom over him, before yelping and falling back "Oh god don't kill me! I'll never listen to my headphones during work again! I swear!"

"He's babbling." Piccolo grunted out.

"Well I could always give him the back of my hand. That tends to quiet down the hysterical ones." Frieza chimed in.

Saike cleared his throat and struggled to his feet "Wh-who are you guys?"

Goku leapt into the pit, landed a few inches away from Saike, and the young oni fell down again out of shock "I'm Goku!...Whoa, that demon inside you has given you a pretty impressive power boost..."

"D-demon? What the heck are you talking about?" Saike stammered out.

"You were possessed by an evil entity. It was either seal it inside you or kill you. Goku spared your life kid." Piccolo explained.

Saike thought back to his last memories. It was as if he had been in a dream these last several hours "Wait I...I remember now, there was an explosion at the soul cleaner machine...Oh crap, how much damage did I do...?"

"Nothing that can't be fixed." Goku said, helping Saike up to his feet "Still there is the problem of helping you control that creature inside you. You'll need training. And I'm just the guy to give it to you!"

Saike laughed nervously "I ah...I don't have a choice in this, do I?"

"Nope!" Goku added, a simple-minded grin on his face.


A/N: Thus ends the Janemba saga. Up next...well, we'll see.

Though I want to point out that I STILL haven't found a subbed version of BoG yet, so you may have to wait some time for the final saga of this story. A pity, I know, but that's how it goes.

-Kyakumaru: BTW, is there art for Frieza's other 2 forms?

I wish. I've had zero fanart for this fic.

-Imaginatrix: All I can say is I'm glad your story is ACTUALLY COVERING EVERYTHING TILL THE END OF Z. Unlike "Honor Trip". The fact that the latter fic is ending so abruptly saddens me greatly. I don't mind that you're not covering GT. What you've done with some of the movies is impressive enough. xD

Thanks for the compliments. I have to admit, I too was disappointed to hear of Honor Trip ending. Then again American Vigor does have his RL obligations and it takes a great deal of effort to pump out chapters as long as the average HT ones. It's understandable if he couldn't bring the series into the Buu saga and beyond.

-Protoguy824: Sorry, but just to inform you (in case you don't know) Broly got as strong as he is by the Saiyan ability to get stronger in every fight, near death situations, and in his legendary super Saiyan form he gains a lot more power by the second.

No, he really doesn't. His ki is constantly regenerating, but there's a definite limit to how much he can contain at a time. Hell at one point he even outright states his power is overflowing, and he had to spam a dozen ki blasts out because of the great pain it was causing him.

-Animeman12: Sh!t is going down! We gonna see any fusions in the near future?

Maaaaaybe...Hint hint.
