Dragon Ball Nu
Chapter 16
As the battle with our heroes heats up it looks as if our heroes are gaining steam, but with Bojack himself stepping into the fight will this bring our heroes to a grinding halt? How will Piccolo, Android 18, and Krillin fair in their own fights? Find out now!
Piccolo and Bido looking each roughed up, but continuing their fight in the skies. 'Agh…' Piccolo huffing from breath. 'I should've been training more… the Time Chamber could've helped me.' Piccolo blocking another incoming punch. 'I have one more day of use, but it doesn't matter now I need to focus.' Refocusing on the fighting with the transformed Bido.
"I won't deceive you Namekian. I'm impressed you have withstood this long of punishment, but I will let you in on a little secret." Grinning now to his opponent. "I am only the second strongest fighter in my team. I was chosen to come battle because my leader Bojack wanted to make sure someone strong could handle the situation. I am going to end this fight now."
"Let's see what you've got." Piccolo and Bido exchanging blows once again moving at blinding speeds.
"I've got to stop! I'm almost out of power." Krillin releasing his Kamehameha wave sensing Piccolo's energy beginning to slowly drop off. "Piccolo is in trouble. 18 we have to do something!"
"Our job is here! We need to alert the others!"
"Right!" Krillin boosting his energy levels higher and sending a signal shot into the sky. "I just hope they get here in time."
Tien, Chiaotzu, and Android 16 all storming on the battlefield. "Guys, look Piccolo is in trouble!" Tien taking charge and calling out. "16, can you back him up?"
"I can. You two just focus on helping Krillin and 18." 16 splitting off to assist Piccolo.
"Tien, this guy's energy is different."
"What do you mean?" Tien looking hesitant on rushing in to help without all of the information.
"Chiaotzu is right Tien! This guy has some kind of psychic ability!" Krillin calling out trying to give his teammates information. "Be careful!" Android 18 also lowering her energy wave to give the two space to work.
"It doesn't look like energy blasts are working." Tien looking to Chiaotzu. "It's time my friend." Chaiotzu nodding in agreement. The two beginning to focus this inner energies and making sure they are harmonizing with one another. Tien and Chiaotzu each glowing a blue tone and circling above Bujin's protective shield. Suddenly the blue energy fills the inner part of the circle being created by the two fighters. The energy then slowly pushing downwards and surrounding the shell beginning to try to pry the cracks between stones apart.
"Now" Tien and Chiaotzu then launching a large group of energy beams from their fingertips into those cracks finally causing the shell to completely crack and fall open.
'What!? That's not possible.' Bujin thinking to himself before spotting Tien and Chiaotzu. "I see so these two are different… someone else with understand of some of the mystic abilities." Then calling out directly to the Z-Fighters floating above him. "While I'd love to stay and continue I'm afraid this is where I disappear." Bujin smiling before vanishing without any trace.
"His energy… it's just… gone." Krillin looking extremely confused.
"Tien the abilities he was using. I thought they were forbidden." Chiaotzu looking up to his friend.
"They are… those abilities slowly eat away at the soul, but I see somehow others out their learned them."
"What are you guys talking about!?" Krillin freaking out.
"Master Shen had a book of evil ancient arts. They were forbidden and highly dangerous he said there was a legend that they were brought to Earth from the stars… it apparently wasn't a legend." Tien thinking back to his training under Master Shen and how he almost tried to learn some of the forbidden arts.
"We should help Piccolo guys!" Krillin trying to rally the others to help but feeling very weak himself.
"Krillin you are in no condition to fight. You should head back to Capsule Corp." Android 18 speaking in an unusual caring voice.
"What about you?" Krillin looking with concern for his wife.
"I have plenty of strength left. I have unlimited energy remember?" 18 now winking at her husband. "Now go. You can't be wished back remember?"
Krillin nodding his head with a disappointed response slowly flying into the sky. 'Man, I knew I should've taken training more serious just look at how strong Piccolo, Gohan, and Vegeta are. If Goku were here he would be able to help.'
"Alright then. We need to be on the lookout for that other guy and try to help Piccolo." Tien making sure everyone is on the same page.
"Right." Both 18 and Chiaotzu respond simulanteously and the three fly over to Android 16 who is assessing what the best strategy would be.
"Piccolo's energy is slowly decreasing. He won't be able to keep fighting at this rate… his opponent is strong. Stronger than all of us, but I think we can counter with numbers." 16 filling in the others on the current situation.
Piccolo beginning to miss small blocks and taking punches from the fight panting. 'If I keep this up I won't be able to make it out of this fight alive. I have to create an opening for the others… but how?'
"Namekian, you were a worthy opponent. Prepare for the afterlife." Bido preparing to land the final blow.
'That's it!' Piccolo digging his last bit of energy. "Kaio-ken times ten!" Piccolo exploding with power higher than he ever used before. Then landing his own series of hits on Bido before using the moment to dashing away to give himself the chance for the others to get in on the fight.
"Now guys!" Tien charging in with both Android 18 and Chiaotzu as the three launch a counter-attack against the now stunned Bido. Tien and Chiaotzu trying to entrap Bido in their own energy traps as Bujin attempted to do earlier. 18 then attacking Bido full out.
Piccolo then collapsing from usage of the Kaio-ken and the extensive battle damage. "I'm gonna to need time… to heal up." Thinking to himself. 'I realize now what I have to do. Kaio-ken with my body should be able to push through to the levels of Kaio-ken Goku used to defeat Vegeta all those years ago.' Piccolo then passing out from exhaustion.
Gohan sensing his friend's energy make an extreme drop as his fight is just about to begin. "PICCOLO!" Gohan sparking an inner power once again.
"Gohan, you need to focus! Let the others help him. We can't afford to lose here!" Vegeta yelling to give focus back to the young Saiyan.
Bojack giving the final signal for Zangya and Kogu to attack. Kogu powering up then and transforming into the green skinned state.
Gohan drawing power from the Super Saiyan 2 state without transforming once again. "Vegeta, let me handle this guy if he is going to charge us he will regret it." Gohan then blasting forward catching the swinging sword. "This weapon… you think it gives you power?" Gohan then punching the hand holding the sword so hard the sword drops to the ground. "You won't be using it anytime soon."
Zangya then blindsiding Gohan sending him flying. "Thanks Zangya." Kogu picking back up his sword. "Well Vegeta looks like it's just us."
"I wouldn't count on that." Vegeta crossing his arms.
"What!?" Zangya looking absolutely furious at Vegeta's confidence. "You're dead!" Within a blink Zangya now, herself, was blindsided by Gohan.
"Now I'm pissed." Gohan swinging a flurry of fists at Kogu. The two suddenly colliding a series of their own punches and Gohan dodging all sword swings. Gohan slowly picking apart Kogu's fighting techniques and landing a series of his own blows and counter-attacks.
'This is impossible… this kid… is out classing me.' Kogu realizing he is slowly losing the battle with Gohan. Kogu attempting to increase his own power to keep up with Gohan. "Foolish boy!" Kogu dropping his sword and using all out power to fight Gohan. The two now beginning to look as if they are fighting on more equal grounds. The punches colliding causing ripples in the air currents surprising Bojack, who stands watching.
Zangya then soaring back in and attempting to interfere with the ongoing fight. "Oh no you don't!" Vegeta blasting in and attacking Zangya. "You pathetic coward. I will be your opponent." The two now face-to-face before beginning their own fight. Vegeta turning Super Saiyan and fighting hand-to-hand with Zangya.
Each Saiyan fighting fiercely against his own opponent leaves Bojack surprised and curious. 'If these two Saiyans are this strong just how strong can Zuccha and the others become?' Bojack looking at Zuccha still lying face-down unconscious. 'It's no wonder Frieza fall at the hands of beings this strong.' Bojack watching on as he sees Vegeta land heavy punches drawing blood from Zangya.
"You foolish Saiyan! I don't care if you are the Prince of all Saiyans you will die now!" Zangya powering up and landing her own combination of punches. Vegeta missing some blocks and tanking some of the punches.
'Damn it… at this rate I may just have to resort to Super Saiyan 2 again. All this training and I'm still struggling… it's maddening.' Vegeta spitting blood before ascending to the next level. "It's time for the real match to begin." Vegeta now turning the tables on his opponent with his own combination. 'I can't stop now… I will end this quickly.' Vegeta then using his increase in speed to create After-Images and dance around Zangya.
"More tricks?" Zangya needing to close one eye to keep the blood out of it.
"You call this a trick?!" Vegeta then landing kick after kick from all sides of Zangya whose reaction time is proving inferior. Bones beginning to fracture under the pressure from each of Vegeta's attacks. "You're just a second rate fighter on some Frieza rip-off team!" Vegeta landing a final shot that brings Zangya to the ground. "You're finished." Spitting down onto the ground below. 'Alright Gohan quit toying around and finish off that fool.' Vegeta glancing up to see Gohan's fight progression.
Gohan keeping the pace of the fight even to preserve as much strength as possible for Bojack himself. 'His energy isn't slipping yet, and we have been fighting for nearly an hour straight.' Gohan suddenly feeling a strange sensation before freezing. "I… I can't move."
"Hahaha foolish boy. Your friends were quite a challenge, but you left yourself wide open." Bujin's voice calling out as he appears in the distance entrapping Gohan with his Psycho Thread.
"Gohan!?" Vegeta blasting up into the sky to try to assist Gohan before being blindsided.
"Stay put Vegeta. It's time my crew has some real fun." Bojack standing over Vegeta now laughing at the strange turn of event. 'But if Bujin came back without Bido that means he must still be fighting. Yes, I can still sense his energy. Why would he come back without Bido?'
"Ah, Bujin, just in time as usual. Never early but always right in the nick of time." Kogu briefly stretching. "Alright kid now it's my turn to dish out a real beating." Kogu landing punch after heavy punch on the immobile Saiyan.
"No! You cowards!" Vegeta attacking Bojack now head on in his Super Saiyan state.
"Come now Vegeta, don't you see it's useless?" Bojack swatting Vegeta's punches as if they were flies. "We're just starting to have fun." Bojack then punching Vegeta once forcing him to his knees. "Maybe after we kill this Saiyan we will kill the rest of your so called friends and make you watch." Laughing at Vegeta. "Since apparently the Prince of Saiyans now has friends."
"Vegeta!" Goku's voice resonating in Vegeta's mind. "You have to listen to me. Bojack is strong I know, but you need to distract him. If you can get Gohan free and you two fight together you can take him, but you won't be able to beat Bojack alone."
"Kakarot!? You're lecturing me on what I need to do in a fight?" Vegeta feeling aggravated, but sensing Gohan's energy beginning to drop and knowing Goku is right. "Alright, fine. I will do it your way."
"Vegeta, have you lost your mind? That's so sad." Bojack leaning down to take pity. Vegeta grabbing a handful of dirt and throwing it into Bojack's eyes. "Gah! You dirty rotten Saiyan!" Bojack frantically trying to cleanse his eyes as Vegeta soars into the sky punching Bujin so hard he drops to the ground. Then blasting Kogu in the face to distract him for a moment.
"Come on Gohan." Vegeta catching Gohan from his fall out of the sky.
"Thanks…Vegeta." Gohan moving slowly and coming back into consciousness.
"Don't thank me yet. We need to work together if we are going to beat these guys."
"Right." Gohan trying to gather energy but feeling drained after Bujin's Psycho Threads. "I don't have much energy left. I'm almost all tapped out."
"Oh great. Well just stay behind me. We can work together and beat these guys."
