CHAPTER 3 - The Great Transformation

Lightning strikes surrounded Goku, and a bright light suddenly emitted from him, so bright that everyone was unable to see what was happening. When the light went away, Goku had long, golden hair, and his arms were two times bigger because of the transformation. There was a glow of energy emitting from Goku. He had finally reached Super Saiyan 3!

Vegeta screamed, "No! No! That's impossible! How did Kakarot surpass me once again?!?"

The intruders could sense his power level, Goku had surpassed them by far. So, they ran, they started to fly as fast as they could. But, Goku was too fast for them. He easily caught up to them. So, the intruders split up. They went in three different directions. Vegeta went after Ribingu, and Goku went after Naito Neko. They would have to let Akuryou go, and find him later.

Goku easily caught up to Naito Neko, but Vegeta was having trouble catching up to Ribingu, because he was a little bit faster than Vegeta. After Vegeta followed Ribingu for a great distance, Ribingu stopped and turned around. He landed on the ground, and Vegeta did the same. Vegeta ran straight at Ribingu and kicked, but it was blocked. Ribingu was faster than Vegeta, so Vegeta would have to use his fighting experience to win the battle. They fought endlessly, each almost perfectly matched. But, Vegeta hadn't let out his full power yet. He drew back from the fight, and laughed.

"What are you laughing about?" Ribingu asked.

"You may think that you will win, but you are just a rodent. I am supreme over everyone. It is an honor for you to fight me, and I am impressed that you have made it this far. But, your time will soon be over." Vegeta laughed again. "You will now see the true power of the saiyans."

Vegeta let out a scream, and the Earth started to rumble. An energy field surrounded Vegeta, and lightning lit the sky. Ribingu stared in wonder at Vegeta, contemplating what to do next. He decided he would have to face Vegeta one on one. The Earth continued to shake, and Vegeta grew stronger every second. The once beautiful landscape began to crumble, and from the nearby rivers began to erupt gigantic waves.

After what seemed to be an endless time for Ribingu, Vegeta finally was powered up to his full power. As soon as he was done, he immediately disappeared from Ribingu's sight. He looked around, confused and scared. Suddenly, he felt a great pain in his back and he went flying into a nearby plateau, which immediately crumbled at impact. Ribingu lay, buried underneath the rocks, waiting for the pain to go away. He could hear Vegeta's distant laugh, moving closer every second. Soon, he could even hear Vegeta's footsteps, only a few feet away. Then, his footsteps stopped, all he could hear was the hissing of the wind and the beating of his own heart. Then, he could sense an energy ball, heading straight for him. He struggled to get out of the rocks, but he couldn't, there were too many.

He could see the light of the blast glowing through the small crevices of the rock. He closed his eyes and the last thing he heard was the sound of Vegeta's laughter. He cursed, then, he was gone. When the smoke cleared, Vegeta surveyed the destruction that he had caused, a crater one mile wide, the bottom as smooth as glass. He started to head back to where he could sense Goku's power, he laughed at the fact that he had not eliminated the pathetic alien.

When he found Goku, he had already outran Naito Neko multiple times, but she kept running in another direction every time that Goku caught up. Goku was just toying with her.

Vegeta yelled out, "Hurry up Kakarot, you're boring me."

Finally, Goku smashed Naito Neko into the ground. She struggled to get up, and when she did, she grew mad, and recklessly attacked Goku, who easily blocked each attack. He then decided to move onto the offensive side. He smashed Naito Neko in the stomach, then kicked her head backwards, and then smashed her into the ground again.

She groaned with pain as she tried to stand up. She grabbed her stomach, and then collapsed. Finally, she got up, and shook off the pain. Naito Neko knew she couldn't win, but she was going to fight until the end, to keep pride in herself, and pride for her clan. Once again, she attacked Goku, but was unsuccessful. Over and over, she was thrown and hit. But, every time she came back for more. She wasn't going to give up, no matter what. She desperately hoped that she would be able to live, but she wasn't going to beg for her life or surrender, no matter what.

"Kakarot, stop playing around, if you don't finish it, I will."

So, the next time that Goku hit Naito Neko into the ground, he pulled his hands back behind his body.

"KKAAAAAA---MEEEEEEEE---HAAAAAAAAA---MEEEEEEEEEEE---HAA!!!!"

Goku shot a powerful Kamehameha wave right at Naito Neko. She knew that she couldn't block it or deflect it, so she just held still and prepared to die.

"Finally, Kakarot, you have eliminated that insolent fool."

Goku collapsed down to the ground, and he went back to his normal state.

"Vegeta---" Goku coughed, "you must---defeat Akuryou."

He then fell on his side, and became unconscious.

Vegeta sighed, "you pathetic weakling Kakarot."

Then, Vegeta flew off towards Akuryou's power level. He knew that he was far away, but he would chase him, and save the Earth, and claim the fame from Goku. He flew off into the distance, leaving Goku lying, unconscious on the cold ground.
