Author Note

I did consider making this a two parter, then I figured a thirty chapter story was enough. Its not that long for one of my SI's but at least I finished this one.

Cyborg Gothic

Part 29

When Pikkon and I arrived at the Check-In-Station I wondered for a moment if the entire of Otherworld was having some sort of acid trip. There were an uncountable amount of coloured orbs that came in many different shapes and sizes all over the place, and Snake Way was simply gone.

"We're having a busy day" I remarked

Pikkon nodded his agreement.

"First we had to deal with Broly, and now someone's screwed up the whole universe" I went on to say "I swear I had a lot less to worry about when I was alive".

It was strange but true. My existence had become far more stressful after I had died. The whole eternal rest thing was highly overrated.

"Feels like King Yemma inside that thing" I then said to my ally.

I couldn't quite tell what the deformed mess had been, but given the power level of King Yemma I was pretty sure that I was currently looking at the Check-In-Station

"Somebody fetch Goku!" a voice shouted out.

I was rather insulted at this point as while the Saiyan was a great fighter this wasn't a problem that could be solved by hitting someone very hard. Solving this crisis would require brains. I needed to think.

"Okay so I have no idea what to do" I admitted after a few moments "I better call Goku"

The universe currently looked as if an overgrown child had redesigned it. Short of Deus Ex Machina I figured we were fucked. But heroes had a way of pulling victory from the jaws of defeat so I also figured we needed a good guy.

"King Kai!" I called out "Can you content me to Goku. I need to tell him to come to the Check-In-Station".

When did I become a switchboard for you guys?.

I didn't reply.

Okay fine. I'll pass on the message.

"Hey guys" the Saiyan said when he teleported in a few moment later "Everything is going crazy on Earth. How about up...here".

The alien fighter stopped talking when he looked around.

"Huh" was all he could say.

Thankfully someone else spoke.

"Goku thank goodness an accident mutated one of our workers, he did this" King Yemma said when he saw the hero "You have to set things right or the whole universe will fall apart".

The Saiyan didn't seem concerned.

"Don't worry King Yemma we'll bust you out of there" Goku.

The fighter attempted to solve the problem by blasting it, and to my total lack of surprise nothing happened.

"Okay Gothic, lets trying blasting it together" Goku suggested.

I didn't think that possible blowing up the Check-In-Station would be a good thing, but since we didn't have a sane plan I just went with it.

"One two three!" Goku yelled

There was no noticeable reaction to our joint efforts.

"The barrier it must have absorbed it" Pikkon said.

My impression had been that the coloured stuff hadn't even been hit by anything. There wasn't so much a burn mark on it.

"Let's give it one more try" Goku urged "All three of us".

Again our efforts were for nought.

"Goku, the roof!" King Yemma bellowed "The monster that did this. Its up on the roof!".

We flew up and soon saw a large monster. It was somewhat childlike, in that it looked innocent, and while I'd dreamed about a big baby thing this wasn't it.

"It doesn't seem that mean to me" the Saiyan commented.

I wasn't getting the bad guy vibe either, and while its power level was off the charts that didn't mean it was dangerous. Although it was pretty clear that this thing was the reason why the afterlife had become an eye sore.

"Well we'll soon find out" Pikkon said before flying up the big baby's face "are you the one that put the barrier up around the Check-In-Station? "

Somehow I didn't think it was going to simply answer.

"Janemba, Janemba!" the creature said.

I assumed that was the thing's name.

"Okay be a good boy and take down the barrier, Janemba" Pikkon said as the creature just smiled and stared at him "Are you stupid or what?! You heard me! Take that barrier down right this instant or else!"

Currently the green guy was not a happy camper.

"Janemba!" the monster shouted.

Now green guy was very unhappy.

"Are you trying to make a fool out of me!?" Pikkon yelled

The monster then flicked the alien away like he was nothing more than a fly, and rammed into one of the floating pink rocks.

"Wow big guy" Goku said to the monster as he flew up to face the creature "You really pack a wallop"

I wondered if Janemba would swat the Saiyan aside next.

"Be careful he's stronger than he looks" Pikkon warned.

Having seen the green guy in action I knew that my Ki sense was that around this monster. It had to be powerhouse that was off the scale to so easily hurt Pikkon.

"Janemba!" the creature said

As I'd guessed it would the monster whacked Goku so hard the the warrior slammed into a green deformed sphere.

"Incredible he's stronger than anyone I've ever met" the Saiyan said once he had recovered "I was right to come here this guy could destroy the whole universe!"

Oddly Goku sounded happy about this.

"Janemba, Janemba!" the creature said pointing to the hero much like how a child points at toy they want "Janemba, Janemba!"

This was all so weird.

"You like me don't you?" Goku was now saying "I'm the one you want to fight aren't I?"

This wasn't suppose to be fun, yet the hero seemed to be having a good time. Which made this all even more strange.

"Hey don't forget about me!?" King Yamma yelled at Goku.

Since the monster was the source of this fucked up mess that was all around us then destroying it might help reverse the problem, but it might be easier to convince the creature to undo what it did. Sadly the thing was also an idiot so I doubted it could be reasoned with.

"I'm going to try to lure this big boy down to hell" Goku said to me "Once he's out of the way you can figure out how to get rid of this barrier and free King Yamma"

Since Ki attacks did nothing all I had left was harsh language, but that wasn't going to help.

"Follow me big fella, come this way" Goku said as Janemba jumped down off what was left of the Check-In-Station "Come on".

They soon vanished from sight.

"You better go with your friend" the green guy suggested "Don't worry I'll deal with the barrier".

Pikkon didn't know the Saiyan as well as I did so it was no surprise that the alien warrior didn't think that Goku could handle the monster alone. Although to be fair I didn't think he could either.

"That seems like a plan" I said.

After locking on to my friend's energy I teleported after him.

(Line Break)

Down in hell I saw what Janemba had done and while I'd been here only a few hours ago I didn't recognise the place.

"Man this guy effect every dimension in creation" Goku said to me "Which is strange because he seems so harmless"

Janemba had crashed upon landing and only now was he getting up. When got to his feet and touched some of the marbles below him and he somehow turned them into mini versions of himself

"Haha they are actually kind of cute" Goku said as the mini Janemba began moving towards us "Even the big one is more playful than evil".

That did seem to be the case.

"He might be innocent looking, but he's turned the universe inside out" I reminded the Saiyan "We have to destroy him".

Rather than reply Goku powered up and kicked all the mini Janemba away from us and oddly they all disappeared. But given how werid this all was I didn't comment on it.

"Janemba!" the creature shouted.

The monsters next action was to make some of the colourful rocks fall down towards us. Thankfully for both of us we had shields to keep us safe. Goku had learned the ability from me, and now he seemed to be just as good at it.

"You're right we have to stop this" the hero said.

Goku flew at the monster and then a moment landed on the ground hard as the big baby thing slapped him aside. Then Janemba then brought his fist down intending to splat the Saiyan I figured, only Goku caught the fist and sent it back at the monster with such force the blow made Janemba fall onto whatever it had for an ass.

"Kamehameha!" Goku then yelled

Since I was standing some distance away I saw the Saiyan's Ki attack vanish into what looked to be a portal, and then it reappeared when it came out of a new portal that had just been formed directly behind Goku. For a moment I was worried, but since I could sense energy I knew that the hero wasn't badly hurt.

"Was that me who shot me?" Goku asked.

I gave him an answer.

"Your attack got swallowed by a portal" I explained "And then it came out another portal which opened up behind you".

Thankfully it hadn't been a strong blast.

"I better finish this now!" Goku decided.

The alien fighter started yelling as he powered to Super Saiyan I considered entering my Super Cyborg state, but I figured that it was best to bide my time. If nothing else watching Goku get slapped around by a massive baby monster would be fun.

Once he was all Super the hero blasted one of the monster's legs and then Goku then began moving around Janemba as the creature lost its balance. Once the creature had hit the ground the hero started to blast it with everything he had. When it was over Janemba got up off the ground and began clapping

"You act innocent but your deadly it's over Janemba" Goku then said

The next thing I knew the Super Saiyan was flying towards the monster and he began punching it in the gut just as Janemba made more of the coloured rocks fall down.

I was safe due to my shield and Goku was fast enough to dodge, but the creature was buried alive. For a moment I dared to think that it was all over, but of course it wasn't. Janemba blasted itself free.

"AHHH!" an enraged Goku yelled

The Super Saiyan formed two Ki balls in his hands and slammed the two balls of energy into Janemba face causing a huge blue explosion. I heard the creature cried out as it fell over

At this point I really thought that the battle was over because the monster began shrinking, only it didn't die instead it turned a much smaller and scarier looking monster.

"I don't like the look of this" Goku said.

Neither did I because the transformed monster had become one of the things I had seen in my dreams.

This new Janemba didn't attack right away, instead the demonic looking creature picked up something off the ground and somehow turned into a deadly looking sword.

"I am going to take that sword" I promised myself.

That proved to be somewhat of a problem as the demon creature was trying to kill Goku with the weapon that I wanted to steal. Also The Saiyan was having trouble dodging the strikes. He might end up getting chopped off.

I knew he needed help, but I also knew that rushing in wasn't the right think to do, so I took my time and when it was the right moment I fired a focused beam of energy from the tip of my finger.

Somehow the monster saw it coming, and it used its cool sword to block the deflect the beam much like a Jedi would with a lightsabre

"Hahahahahahahaha," Janemba laughed maniacally.

I fired again and the same thing happened.

"Now I really want that sword" I said

So I tried to grab it telekineticly, and this resulted in a tug of war. While I kept my attention on the struggle my buddy Goku focused on something else.

"There is only one way we can defeat that guy" he said.

I still had a few tricks up my sleeve, but I decided to hear the hero out, but only because I was too busy to try anything else.

"King Kai's telling me how we can fuse into one being" Goku then said.

I had one many small and one major issue with this idea.

"You forgoe that I'm already fused with 16" I reminded him.

I would have argued more but most of my attention was on my tug of war over the scary yet cool sword.

You have to risk it. The whole universe is at stake.

King Kai was right the thing we were fighting had so far just been playing with us. If the monster decided that play time was over then Goku at least die horrible, and despite the fact that the Saiyan had killed me I really didn't want him to come any real harm.

"Fine we'll do it" I decided "Just give me a moment".

I ended the tug of war, and then I blasted the creature with much power as I could muster before the demonic thing could picked up its awesome weapon.

"That will buy us a few moments" I then said.

Goku didn't waste anytime.

"According to King Kai the Fusion Technique is used to combine two strong warriors so as to create an even stronger one" the Saiyan explained to me. "But we can only stay fused for a long as we can provide energy".

Which given our power levels could be a long time.

"The start of the technique is kind of like dancing" I was then told "You will have to precisely copy my every move for it to work".

I was not enthusiastic about this.

"Please never tell anyone that we danced together" I pleaded.

For once Goku took things seriously.

"I won't" he replied "Now watch closely".

To begin with Goku stood straight with both of his hands pointed to his right. He looked silly but I stayed focused as there was no time for silliness. Any moment now the monster would get up and attack us.

Thankfully we were granted some more time as Pikkon turned up, and while there wasn't much chance of him winning the fight he could at leas distract the demoic thing.

"To start with imagine two rivers flowing down different paths that are facing away from each other" I was instructed.

Goku moved to the left on the tip of his boot with his heels facing each other and his knees apart. Then he moved his arms to the other side of his body slowly enough that I was able to memorise the move.

"Alright, now the two rivers are floating towards each other but haven't connected yet" was what he said next.

Goku moved his arms back to the right and balled his fists. He then lifted up his right knee and pointed it to the left.

"The rivers are on a collision course and are gathering energy for when they finally met" it was explained.

Goku then moved his arms back to the left and stretched out both of his index fingers.

"The two rivers join at two separat points then they become one" the Saiyan then said "That's when we fuse together."

I got into position next to Goku and prepared to mirror his every move.

"FU... SION... HA!"

(Line Break)

One moment I'd been hearing Goku shout FU..SION..HA and the next thing I knew the Sayian was lying next to me on the ground.

"That was intense" I said.

When we'd fused we'd become someone else I'd gone away, but now the we had divided the memories of what had just happened were starting to feel like my own.

I remembered how fast we'd been, and how strong. Before the fusion the monster had only been toying with us, we'd been amusing playthings and nothing more.

Then our roles had changed. Suddenly the demonic creature known as Janemba had become nothing more than a punching bag. The monster hadn't even landed a single blow.

The being Goku and I transformed into hadn't torn Janemba apart bit by bit until there had been nothing left, but a scared looking emo demon who had run away.

Sadly the cool and scary looking sword had turned to dust, but since King Kai had promised me my own magic weapon it was no big deal.

"Who are you?" I heard Goku ask someone.

When I sat up I felt my draw drop as I saw Android 16 standing some distance away from us. It took me a while to fully process the sight, but soon enough I realised what had happened.

"Of course I was fused with Sixteen" I said "So that means you were as well when we fused, and now that we've seperated he's gotten his own body back".

This also meant that I had lost my perfect form. It was easy to check as my hair was long enough for me to see the colour.

"Ah now I have to start my training all over again" I moaned "That's will take months!"

I would have been more upset, doubly so since Sixteen did have a halo meaning he was alive, but this was overshadowed by the fact that my friend has his life back, and that we'd saved the universe. Everything around us had gone back to normal.

"Hey buddy, look on the brightside" Goku said "You've still got most of year with King Kai so he can train. By the time your done you'll be just as strong as were before. But you'll need to work hard!"

I just groaned and laid back down again.
