Chapter #12
Transport to Oblivion
The Spice Boys began cracking their knuckles at the Z Fighters. Raditz scoffed in response, "Hmph, I don't even think that I need training to beat these guys."
The white haired blue-skinned warrior smirked, "Let's test that theory shall we?"
He rushed towards Raditz, and the two engaged in a barrage of blows. Raditz easily gained the upper hand, and landed a blow to Spice's abdomen so strong that the warrior immediately spat out blood. The Saiyan growled, "Interesting, their power is comparable to the Ginyu Force."
The three other warriors, Vinegar, Salt, and Mustard all rushed towards Raditz. Piccolo and Nail knocked down all three of them. Garlic scowled, "Useless fools! Must I do everything myself?"
Spice wiped off some blood, and then immediately sent a powerful blow to Piccolo. Using a double-fisted punch, he sent Piccolo flying straight towards the ground. He turned towards the other Spice Boys, "Alright, let's finish him."
Nail grinned, "Not so fast…Mystic Cannon!"
The beam blew through the Spice Boys quickly and threw them off guard. Piccolo emerged from the smoke without his weighted clothing, "Hmph, looks like these guys are more trouble than I had thought."
Nail yelled, "The sooner we get this done the sooner we can use the Dragon Balls!"
Garlic Junior raised an eyebrow, "Hmph? Dragon Balls? I have no need for them; my power of immortality is enough."
A snap of realization came to Raditz, "Y-you're immortal?"
Garlic laughed, "Haha! The shocking truth finally breaks through one of these pathetic minds; I had not known it to be possible to let it not."
Raditz yelled, "You're bluffing, take this, Double Sunday!"
He fired the blast at point-blank range, and with all the power he could muster. Garlic emerged, his body severely bruised, but alive nonetheless, "I can never be killed idiot!"
He grabbed ahold of Raditz's throat, and the Saiyan could only watch as Garlic Junior's muscle size and strength increased exceptionally. Leering, Garlic Junior punched Raditz in the stomach repeatedly, until he was rewarded with a tremendous amount of blood that gushed out of the Saiyan's mouth. Meanwhile, Piccolo and Nail were handling the Spice Boys well, and were able to gain the upper hand.
Giving a growl of anger, Piccolo yelled towards Nail, "Try to fend for yourself for a moment, someone needs some help."
Piccolo stretched his arm and slammed his fist deep into Garlic's side. The Makyan growled and turned his attention towards Piccolo. Instantly, the Namekian felt himself plummeting towards the ground, Garlic quickly fired a red energy beam, consuming the Namekian. Piccolo emerged with ragged clothes and purple blood painting his body, "Tch, this is nothing."
He quickly regenerated and went up to fight Garlic Junior again, only to be knocked down.
Meanwhile, Nail easily vaporized Vinegar, and was having no trouble at all against the Spice Boys. Nail easily destroyed Salt and Mustard, and dodged another blow from Spice.
Nail elbowed Spice to the ground and gazed at him, "Stay down."
All the Z Fighters rushed over to help against Garlic Junior, but all were defeated quickly and rapidly. Garlic Junior began laughing with pleasure, "Is this really all you can muster? You gave me more trouble when we first met. I guess the Makyan star has greatly boosted my strength to the extent where all of you are far below me!"
The Spice Boys began standing up, and Nail gave a growl of annoyance, "Damn it, not again…"
This time, their muscles beefed up, and their strength skyrocketed. Spice gave a look of sheer rage towards Nail, and without warning, charged at the Namekian. Blood leapt out of Nail's mouth as Spice dealt a devastating uppercut. Spice smirked, "Not so tough now are you?"
Nail gave a growl of irritation and quickly blasted Spice back. "They're stronger and faster," he remarked while wiping off some blood.
Nail stretched his hands, knocking back Mustard and Vinegar. However, a quick attack from Salt knocked him down. The Namekian warrior quickly recovered, and rammed his fist straight into Salt's abdomen. Spice threw an energy ball, "How about you take this attack?!"
Nail's eyes widened in surprise, and an explosion completely wiped off the layers of the ground. This caught the attention of all the Z Fighters and even Garlic Junior. Gohan's eyes widened, "N-nail?!"
"These guys are more trouble than I thought," said Raditz.
Nail emerged, his body brutally battered and wounded. Spice grinned, "Time to finish you off."
He was stopped by an enraged Gohan, who fired a point-blank Masenko. The leader of the Spice Boys gave a yell of shock as the blast consumed him completely. The other Spice Boys turned towards Gohan, who began backing away in fear. Nail regenerated and yelled, "Mystic Cannon!"
The beam eradicated Mustard, leaving only Salt and Vinegar, who both panicked. Nail grinned towards them, "You two are next."
However, a punch from Garlic Junior rammed him into a mountain, and the two cronies cheered for their leader. Piccolo took this opportunity wisely, "Special Beam Cannon!"
The beam pierced through the chest of the surprised Vinegar, leaving only Salt. Garlic Junior gave an annoyed growl of anger, "Why must I do everything myself?"
Piccolo turned towards Krillin, "Now!"
The human put both hands near his face, "Solar Flare!"
Then, Krillin put a hand near his head, "Destructo Disc!"
He threw a disc, and then threw two more along with it. Garlic Junior was hit by one, but the effects on Salt were worse, as the henchman got sliced in two. As the discs faded away into shards of ki, Garlic remained standing, with merely a few cuts. The Makyan gave a grin, "Don't you understand? I am immortal! Nothing can kill me, nothing!"
He threw an energy ball straight at Krillin, and it detonated midair. Raditz growled, "Idiotic humans…Double Sunday!"
The two beams collided directly with Garlic Junior, who staggered back. Gohan took this opportunity to fire a quick Masenko blast at the back of Garlic Junior, and the Makyan turned around in shock and anger. He grabbed Gohan's throat, and with a brutal throw, flung him to the ground. The little boy coughed out crimson blood as Krillin gave a yell.
The former student of the Turtle clan couldn't handle the pain that his friends were feeling anymore, "Take this you monster! FULL POWER KAMEHAMEHA!"
Garlic Junior raised an eyebrow at the empowered Kamehameha wave, but dismissed it with his hand easily. It was sent crashing straight into Piccolo, who fell down. Krillin gave a yell of anger, "DAMN IT!"
Garlic smirked and put a hand in Piccolo's direction. A resonating explosion marked the air as the Namekian fell to the ground, blood dripping out of his mouth. Raditz charged towards Garlic Junior, and attempted to land a surprise blow. Grinning, Garlic punched Raditz's abdomen and knocked him down by his spine. Nail interrupted Garlic with a point-blank Mystic Cannon to the back, and the Makyan shrieked with annoyance.
Garlic gave a yell of anger and frustration, "You know what? I'm bringing out the Dead Zone again; you maggots just keep coming back don't you?"
A swirling vortex emerged behind him, and swept off the land of the Earth easily. Garlic began giving a crazed laugh, "The Black Water Mist was my key to conquering Earth. You ruined it, you ruined it all! I shall give you all a pain greater than hell and death itself!"
Raditz scowled, "This guy…he's gone completely insane!"
Garlic threw a blast mindlessly at the ground, and a crater formed. He rushed over and punched Piccolo, "You…you were the one to knock me into the Dead Zone, for that, you'll be the first one to die!"
He ripped of Piccolo's arm easily, and then ripped off his leg. Purple blood splattered all over the ground and Piccolo yelled in pain. Garlic Junior threw him to the ground, and grinned, "Goodbye fool."
However, he was intercepted by Gohan, who kicked Garlic to the side. Nail teleported to chain the attack, and fired a point-blank Mystic Cannon directly at Garlic. Growling with anger, Garlic unleashed a huge wave of kiai, knocking all the Z Fighters back, "DO NOT INTEFERE!"
Piccolo was barely breathing, and struggled to open his eyes, only to see Garlic Junior charging an energy ray that was sure to be his doom. However, once again, Nail punched him back. The Namekian began panting with exhaustion, and couldn't keep up his power much longer. Groaning, Piccolo gestured towards Krillin, who threw him a Senzu Bean. Gohan asked Krillin, "How many do we have left?"
Krillin groaned, "Only 3, we better win this quick."
Piccolo stood up, regenerating all his wounds and powering up to his maximum, "All right, ready for round 2?"
Piccolo traded a few blows with Garlic Junior, but the tired tyrant was still stronger than the Namekian. He punched him to the ground, and fired multiple ki blasts directly at him. Piccolo fell to the ground, wiped off some blood, and rushed to combat again. This time, Nail joined in, and the two Namekians managed to slowly overpower Garlic Junior. Screeching with anger, Garlic Junior turned towards the Namekians, "NOOO! NOT AGAIN!"
Piccolo nodded towards Nail, and both Namekians created a powerful combination of energy beams that threw Garlic Junior straight into the Dead Zone. Raditz looked up at the Makyan star, and with a powerful energy blast, demolished it. The star exploded with a glorious burst of energy, coinciding with Garlic's roar of anger.
Gohan and Krillin both gave pants of relief. Krillin let out a relieved laugh, "Well, now to see our old friends again!"
The Z Fighters set off to the Dragon Balls, leaving the scattered remains of the battlefield behind.
