Chap. 11

Sho found himself in the middle of a barren field. Looking around, saw nothing at first, but then his eyes caught focus of something. A figure was coming to him in the distance.

"Mizuki?"

However, before she could come closer, the ground erupted underneath her and a large monstrous claw held her.

"Mizuki!"

He rushed at the monster Zoanoid and cried out...

"GUYVER!!!!!!"

The bio-field erupted around him, summoning the bio-booster armor within and transforming him into Guyver I. However, once he finished, more eruptions shot up out of the ground and pretty soon, Guyver I was surrounded by five monster zoaniods.

'I remember these guys. It's the...Hyper Zoaniod Team 5.'

"Guyver I. Retract the bio-booster armor. I don't have to say what will happen if you fail to comply." He made his statement by raising a clawed finger on the girl. Guyver I was trapped. How can I save her against these guys? They're way stronger than I am, even with the guyver.

(Goku) 'Don't give up.'

(Jin) 'Just think. There is always a way.'

(D-Boy) 'If you give up, they'll win. You have to find another way.'

Another way? But how? I'm surrounded at all sides and I can't outfight them.

'Concentrate.'

Concentrate?

Guyver was broken out of his revere when the zoaniod repeated his demand. If I give up, they'll kill me and her. I won't let that happen. Not to you, Mizuki. I have to think. Concentrate. Come on, guyver. What power do you have that can help me here?

"Uh, times up. Now she..."

Just then, a whirring sound echoed out from the Guyver. The zoaniods relaxed a bit, thinking he was de-activating, but something else happened instead. A massive cocoon suddenly formed and covered over Guyver I. The zoaniods were puzzled by this, but their puzzlement turned to shock as the cocoon soon open revealing...

"Sho. Hey Sho, wake up."

The young boy's eyes flickered open only to see his comrades surrounding him while he was on the ground. His armor had retracted back into his body. Sho sat upright.

"Did I...?"

"I think so." Cloud answered. "After you formed that cocoon, you just appeared here. What was that thing anyway?"

"I'm...not sure. It felt familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. I just had to save Mizuki."

"Is she your girlfriend?" X said neutrally.

Sho's face flushed red, "Wha...uhhh...well..."

The mist began to swirl once again, saving Sho from answering the question. The mist then moved over to its next target.

"Looks like it's your turn, Jin."

Jin gave a slight nod and pretty soon, the mist engulfed him. When his eyes cleared, he found himself on top of a volcano.

'This place...I know this place? But I've never been here before.'

The mist cleared further and he heard sounds of fighting. Looking up the crevice, he saw two figures fighting each other.

'Heihachi! But who is the other guy? He looks...Is that...my father?'

Jin began to unconsciously move toward them and then stopped when he realized what he was doing.

Hate. Destroy. Kill.

Jin backed away slightly and a misty purple figure appeared. He couldn't see who it was, but he recognized it for some reason.

"Who...are...you?"

The figure didn't answer the question. Rather, it indicated to the two that were fighting.

"Kill them. Kill them all. Is that not what you wanted?"

"....I...."

The creature appeared to smile, "You do. So do it. Fulfill your destiny. Be rid of them and take your place, Mishima."

Jin's eyes widened at the sound of him being called that name. "N...."

(Cloud) 'Fight it, Jin.'

(Tenchi) 'Don't listen to him.'

Jin began to grasp his head as the demon within him began to awaken. Black marks began to form on his face and body.

"I...I...can't..."

'Stay true to yourself.'

Jin blinked, "Huh? Ryu?"

'Use your friends. They can help you.'

"Hate them!" The mist roared. "Destroy them! KILL THEM!!! Welcome the darkness, Mishima!"

Jin held his head, trying to block out the noise. Use...my friends. Jin tried to focus and the images of people entered his mind. Ling...Miharu...Lei...King...Mother...Julia...even Hworang. My...friends. Jin suddenly roared into the sky and at the purple specter.

"No! I am Jin Kazama! And you are no one!"

---

"Jin. You did it."

"Huh?" Jin found himself on the floor, the same as all the others before him. Jin reached up and grabbed X's lowered hand and raised himself up.

"What was that all about?"

"My darkness." Jin half whispered. "It happens a lot in my nightmares. But this is the first time that I felt...in control. And it wasn't so horrifying." Jin turned to look in Ryu's direction, "Thank you, Ryu."

Ryu however didn't turn to the boy and kept staring off into the mist. The others gave puzzled looks, but then the mist went to work again, this time swirling around the super sayian.

"Looks like I'm up" Goku commented as he cracked his knuckles. The mist engulfed him and pretty soon cleared up. Goku found himself on another planet. Looking up, he saw the blue-green sphere of the Earth. A familiar crackle of laughter sounded behind him and Goku turned to see...

"Freeza!"

The space conqueror continued to laugh and Goku dropped into his fighting stance. However before he could do anything, three figures landed around him. They were Cell, Kid Buu, and...

"Vegeta!"

The Sayian prince gave an evil smirk, "It's over for you, Kakarott."

Goku looked toward Vegeta, "Vegeta, what are you doing?"

Vegeta didn't reply as he simply raised his arm up into the sky and toward the Earth. He suddenly burst into Super Sayian mode and charged up energy in his hand.

"No, Vegeta!"

Goku charged but was suddenly smacked in the back buy a chop from Freeza. Goku stumbled and stopped, but unfortunately it was right in front of Cell who let out a devastating kick. As Goku flew through the air, he was suddenly smashed downward by Buu and hit the ground hard. As Goku staggered up, he could see that Vegeta was still charging his attack. Vegeta gave another smirk before letting the attack loose into the skies. However, Goku reacts fast with an Instant Transmission and warp in front of the blast. Turning Super-Sayian, he deflects the blast, but is ripped up a bit for it. Arm bleeding and in pain, Goku looks down at his adversaries, who have all aligned together and forming energy blasts in their hands. Goku could only watch as the resulting combined beam slammed into him and fried him. His gi torn, he crashed into the ground. As he began to lift himself up, Vegeta's foot suddenly slammed him back down to the ground.

"How does it feel to know defeat, Kakarot? The knowledge that you weren't strong enough to save Earth?"

Goku watched in horror as the villains began powering their most deadly attacks. Freeza with his Death Ball, Cell with the Kamehameha, and Buu with his Human Extermination attack. And Goku was too spent by his previous beatings to try to even raise his power level, not to mention the Sayain prince driving his foot deeper into his gut. As Vegeta continued to hold him down, Goku stared up at the Earth.

No.Krillian. Gohan. Goten. Chi-chi.

(Liu Kang) 'You have more power than that.'

(X) 'You can beat them. We know you can.'

It was then that Goku felt a little strange as he stared at the Earth. His body began to pump and rage as he stared at the Earth.  Had he not been so dazed, he would have seen an object protruding out from underneath him.

----

"Huh?" Goku came out of his daze only to find the Earth gone and the other warriors standing over him.

What happened?

Ryo answered, "You were down on the floor and your power began to grow suddenly, almost out of control. But then you suddenly appeared here."

Goku stood up, "Well I guess I passed then, huh?"

However, no response came as everyone was staring at him strangely.

"What's wrong?"

Tenchi pointed, "Uhhh, you have a...a..."

Goku checked himself around and suddenly saw what they were talking about. Waving behind him from out of his lower back was...

"Hey, my tail grew back."

_________________

"You restored his tail? Isn't that going a little overboard?"

"It's the only way he can release his true power."

"But he has to go through the Oozuru form to reach it. Isn't that...hazardous?"

"I truly hope so."

"And you gave Sho the Gigantis Cocoon. He hasn't even received that yet in his time."

"But he will eventually. This will help him in the trials yet to come."

"Perhaps. And what about Jin?"

What about him?"

"He looks like one of us."

"I thought about that. But that isn't the case. He just has a deep darkness within that makes him look similar to us when it manifests."

"He has nice wings."

"I won't disagree. Although, they are nothing compared to yours."

"Flattery will get you nowhere."

"Are you sure?"

"Mhmmm..."
