Chapter 3
Dead Zone
The weird, blue midget/alien creature grinned, "Good work Sansho, the three star Dragon Ball is captured!"
The large, gray, muscular henchman nodded, "Thank you lord. We only need one more Dragon Ball."
The alien who appeared to be the leader nodded, his teeth evidently out of his mouth, "Yes, only one more…"
Mountains…
A few hours later
The four aliens were floating on top of the house of Goku. Garlic nodded towards Sansho, who fired a quick ki blast towards the building. However, Goku deflected it. Next to him, was his son Gohan, a young boy with a Dragon Ball on his cap. However, this interested Garlic Jr.
The Makyan grinned, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I see that's the four star Dragon Ball."
Goku powered up to his maximum in his base form, "Yeah, what's that gotta do with anything, who are you anyways?"
Garlic Junior nodded towards Sansho, Nicky, and Ginger, who all charged towards Goku. Gohan started walking back, as Garlic grinned, "You hold remarkable power boy, but it's time we take that."
He reached for the hat, but Gohan punched the Makyan. Garlic Junior stumbled back, then grabbed Gohan's fist and kicked him. Gohan was thrown into a mountain, yelling in pain.
Meanwhile, Goku was fending off all three of Garlic Junior's minions. Nicky finally managed to get a blow on him, and the first attack was followed by a kick from Ginger, and a straight up uppercut from Sansho. The warrior leapt back, and then began charging up. He put his hands together as if holding an object, and a humming blue ball of energy slowly began forming.
As Goku fired, all three warriors leapt to dodge it, but it slammed into Nicky. The minion of Garlic Junior groaned in pain, but quickly recovered. He nodded to the others, who all quickly began taking on almost a bulky transformation. Goku scowled, and prepared himself, but was thrown into a mountain by Sansho's first punch. Meanwhile, Garlic grinned to his minions, and nodded, showing that he had Gohan in his grasp. Goku yelled, "NO! GOHAN!"
He attempted to transform, but found that he barely had enough energy to do so, and he fell down, unconscious.
Kami's Lookout
About 3 hours later…
Garlic silently stepped on the godly Namekian's lookout. His eyes met with Kami's for a second, until the god finally sighed, "I know why you're here."
Garlic grinned, "And you must know I have immortality now!"
Kami nodded, "Yes, I see that, and I know that there is no way of defeating you," Garlic sneered at this remark, "BUT I'm not going down without a fight!"
Kami's eyes glowed, and two deadly laser beams shot out, they put two burning holes into Garlic Junior, but due to his immortality it did little more than injure him. Sansho smiled, "Let me handle him lord."
Garlic nodded, and Sansho quickly bulked up into a muscular form. He charged towards Kami, but the guardian calmly grabbed his fist. Sansho looked towards Kami, confused, and then attempted to attack him again. The guardian merely chuckled silently, and almost faded away. Garlic growled impatiently, "Nicky, Ginger, help our friend."
Now, all three fighters began charging at Kami. The Guardian raised his arms to guard, but age weakened him and he was brutally sent back by a flurry of punches and kicks. Mr. Popo rushed to his aid, quickly firing a ki blast towards Ginger. The Makyan leaped back and dodged the ki blast. He glared at Mr. Popo, and then rushed at him next. The genie blocked each of Ginger's blows, and connected with his own kick that sent Ginger flying back. Kami yelled, "We can't handle these guys much longer!"
Suddenly, a familiar figure with a gi arrived. Kami grinned, and then frowned, "Goku and …Piccolo."
The two rivals stood side by side, first Kami expected a fight, but it was obvious they had formed a temporary alliance. Piccolo scowled, "Don't feel like this is permanent old man. You must feel my power right now and know how much its grown. I won't stop until I ascend to powers greater than Goku. But, I must make a temporary alliance to stop these buffoons who believe they can take over Earth."
Ginger glared at Piccolo, "Buffoons? You're very much mistaken!"
Garlic yelled, "Wait Ginger, stop!"
It was too late; Piccolo grabbed ahold of the Makyan and fired an energy wave, demolishing him completely. Seeing this, Nicky and Sansho started staggering back. Piccolo grinned, waves of dark energy empowering him. Without a warning, he flew towards Nicky. Almost instantaneously, he punched the Makyan's ribs. The spawn of Piccolo Daimao gave a satisfied smirk as heard several cracks, and fired an energy wave directly through Nicky.
Sansho turned to Garlic in fear, and found that his lord was transforming into his own "Super" form. Now, Garlic's body was completely blue, and his muscles and entire body shape bulged and changed. Garlic charged towards Piccolo, and the demon sidestepped. Piccolo thrust his arm through Garlic's chest, expecting the alien to fall limp, but found that Garlic still had life in him.
"Wha-?" was all Piccolo got to say before Garlic grabbed ahold of his hand and threw him towards Goku. Instantly alerted, Goku transformed and caught Piccolo. The demon glared at Garlic, "What was that trick?"
Garlic grinned, "Trick? I see you don't know the power of…immortality."
One of Piccolo's eyebrows rose up, "Immortality? What the hell are you talking about!"
Goku's hands began to shake, "Damn it! That's why he took Gohan, for the Dragon Ball! Where is he now?!"
Garlic shrugged, "Beat me and maybe I'll tell you."
Goku glared at Garlic, and an immense rush of kiai pushed the Makyan back, even though Goku had done nothing. The Makyan gasped, "Wha-?"
Goku grabbed ahold of Garlic's neck, his firm grip almost crushing the Makyan, "It's hard for me to control my power in this form, so tell me, where is Gohan?"
Garlic struggled to point, "In our hide-out."
Piccolo yelled, "No Goku, you buffoon! You're leaving me to deal with Garlic by myself!"
Goku nodded, "I know, but Piccolo, you're more than strong enough."
Piccolo turned back towards Garlic as he felt Goku leave. A trickle of sweat fell down his face, "Well then, let's get started with warm up."
The two fighters both clashed, their arms meeting. A wave of powerful kiai rippled through the air, causing trees to shake and wobble. Piccolo elbowed Garlic, and began to get the upper hand. It didn't boost the Namekian's confidence that each hit he caused to Garlic was almost useless and didn't contribute to anything. With a roar, Piccolo kicked Garlic into the air. Struggling to see his master get beat, Sansho grabbed Piccolo and put him into a Full Nelson.
This left the demon vulnerable, and Garlic punched the demon. A splatter of purple blood fell on the lookout, and Kami winced. Mr. Popo rushed to help him, but Kami raised a hand, "No, for now, we must help Piccolo."
Kami's eyes glowed red again, and he fired two eye beams with precise accuracy at Sansho. The Makyan grinned one last grin, then fell, two smoking holes on his chest. Garlic glared at Kami, "You little!"
The alien now rushed at Kami with superhuman speed, and Piccolo charged to intercept. The demon kicked Garlic back, and stood in front of Kami. The old alien grinned, "You've gotten much more powerful than Piccolo Daimao."
Piccolo just grunted, and dodged another attack by Garlic.
Garlic's hideout…
Goku found the crying Gohan, "Here here, Daddy's here now."
Gohan cried even harder, "Daddy, it's a trap!"
A shock of surprise rang through Goku, "What?"
He turned around to see ten gigantic mutated animals, along with one single Makyan. The Makyan grinned, his skin a dark green with no irises, "I am the Makyan known as Wasabi. Now prepare to…DIE!"
Kami's Lookout
Garlic Jr. panted, and then a slow smile began to curve on his lips, "I have one last ability. The Dead Zone shall swallow you whole!"
The Makyan raised his hands, and a dark vortex like object appeared above his head, "Once you're sucked into the Dead Zone, you never return."
Piccolo didn't respond, but punched Garlic in the abdomen. He kicked the Makyan to the side and grinned, "Well, all I have to do is not get sucked into the Dead Zone."
He grabbed ahold of Garlic's neck, keeping a firm grip. Then, without warning, he snapped it. But due to Garlic's immortality, the Makyan grabbed Piccolo and kneed him. Piccolo wiped off some purple blood and grabbed Garlic's leg. He smirked, "Any last words?"
Garlic growled, "What do you mean?"
Piccolo spun around in a 360 degree angle, then threw Garlic straight into the Dead Zone. The vortex disappeared, and the threat of the Dead Zone ended.
Garlic's hideout
Wasabi raised his head, "Ah, so, the Dead Zone turned on Garlic Junior. Well then, let's resume our fight."
Goku powered up and removed his weighed clothing, "Yeah, I want to see just how strong you are."
Without a warning, Goku attempted to punch Wasabi, but only a flicker of Wasabi's image was there. He gasped and found Wasabi right behind him. The Makyan delivered a swift chop to Goku's neck, causing him to yell in pain. Wasabi grabbed Goku by his hair and punched his stomach repeatedly. With a grin, Wasabi threw Goku down.
Goku stood back up, but this time, his aura was golden. His hair stood up as well, and as usual, his eyebrows and irises changed color. He began laughing at Wasabi's shocked reaction, "Surprised? This is a Super Saiyan." He had no idea how the word Saiyan even came to his mind, but it did so naturally.
With a slight chuckle, Wasabi spoke, "You stand absolutely no chance against me, even with your 'Super Saiyan' transformation."
Goku smiled, "Oh really?" Without another word, Goku teleported to Wasabi, sending one swift punch that instantly killed the Makyan. Wasabi clutched his stomach, and fell. Goku glared at the ten mutant animals, who all ran away.
Reverting back to his base form, Goku picked up the now happy Gohan, and sent him back to Chi-Chi's house.
Thanks for reading this one guys! As you may have noticed, I've changed some of the characters and the plot. For example, Wasabi wasn't in the original Dead Zone story, but that one was pretty obvious.
More power levels!
Goku (Full Power without weighted clothing): 390
Piccolo (Full Power without weighted clothing): 700
Garlic Junior: 450
Super Garlic Junior: 650
Ginger and Super Ginger: 215 and 350
Nicky and Super Nicky: 220 and 370
Sansho and Super Sansho: 250 and 375
Wasabi: 600
SSJ Goku: 19,500
Kami: 415
Mr. Popo: 210
I put Piccolo at 700 because being beaten by SSJ Goku caused him to train harder, and he went from around 300 to 3500 in a year, so going from 300s to 700s doesn't seem like a big stretch for me.
