Chapter Seventeen: Darkest Hour
As Gurjal approached him further Shadow then soon took his battle stance. He looked around to see if any of the gang was conscious, but none were. He was alone and had to fight the monster alone.
"Hey I don't want your head, I came for the saiyans, I know there's one left so why don't you just move over and let me go kill him." Gujal then began to walk but Shadow went in front of him.
"I have a mission, to stop you in your tracks, to keep you here. And if it claims my life than so be it. I would rather die than let you go."
"Well I think I can kill you, maybe I can make that come true don't you think?" Gurjal was pleased that he would be given another challenge.
"Are you ready, 'hero'?" Shadow then was fully ready for what lay ahead, victory, or defeat.
"Come on Gurjal, I have lived a long life and am not afraid to die." Gurjal then powered up again and began to stretch.
"Then let it begin." Gurjal charged Shadow with hands full of blasts. He connected the first blow but then, a combo of moving swiftness, and the shade technique dodged his second attack.
"He moves quicker than I thought." Shadow then countered with a small charge of vardur, and that got Gurjal's attention. He then was hit in the face and now, Gurjal was bleeding.
(To himself) "See he bleeds, he is mortal, you can do this now just give it all you can Shadow, now!" Now Shadow had confidence in himself and began to tap into his reserve power.
"Well if you are a little strong lets see how you do against my mega ton blast." Gurjal began to power up, but Shadow did not let him. He attacked and kicked him into a building.
"Hey, I was powering up that's not fair."
"Against you, I really don't care if it wasn't fair." Shadow then engaged as they soon were exchanging combos and thundering the ruins.
"Die you unmoral bastard!" Shadow then charged up a super blast and began to fire, trying not to hit areas where the others lay. Gurjal dodged most of the blast but a few made contact and wounded him.
"I'll make you pay for that you little spec." Gurjal then powered and soon made contact behind Shadow, plunging him into a pile of cars. He soon got up but was tackled once again into them.
"Stay down you piece of shit." Gurjal then kicked Shadow whom attempted a trip. He then cleverly maneuvered his way be behind Gujal and blasted his spine, causing Gurjal to fall into the pile of rocks and concrete.
"No more playing around." Gurjal then shot fire beams connecting with Shadow's arms. It shot through leaving him unable to use his left arm.
"Damn it. Oh no you don't!" Shadow fired at Gurjal attempting to find Vegeta. Shadow then recharged and then tackled Gurjal into a brawl of immense proportions.
"I must say I am some what impressed. Somewhat." Gurjal then took Shadow's injured arm and then swung him around colliding him onto his knee. Shadow then began to spit blood and countered with a punch to the chin.
"You can't hold on for long you weakling." Shadow then put all doubt aside and continued to batter Gurjal's face. But soon after a lot of combos and punches, Shadow began to feel power leaving him.
He felt not as powerful as before and soon he would not have enough power to even survive. So for the first time Shadow knew if someone didn't cut in he would die.
As Shadow continued his combos Gurjal felt the decrease in power and began to smile.
"Are you loosing your power, are you going to run?" Gurjal then began to laugh and then engaged his assault on a now defenseless Shadow.
"What are you going to do if I were to fire at you?" Gurjal fired upon Shadow, and he dodged with the shade technique.
"Ah, yes the shade technique, I must find a way for you not to use that, and kill you." Gurjal then noticed Goku's body on the side of the ruins of a building.
"What if it meant the life of another?" Gurjal smiled and began to charge, then pointed and Shadow, slowly moving aim towards Goku. Shadow's eyes widened as he now saw the intent of Gurjal, and now in his mind knew he was going to die.
"Die saiyan!" He fired and was followed by Shadow.
"Goku!" Shadow soon used instant transmission to take him to Goku, and by the time he shielded Goku there was no time to transport back. The fire went into Shadow's back and into his lung.
(Gasp) "Goku." Slowly Goku began to gain consciousness and saw Shadow, then saw Gurjal approaching.
"Well if it wasn't good enough that I killed him, you wake up. Well this is just my day isn't it?" Then a sudden blast hit Gurjal and a voice screamed.
"Goku Shadow, close your eyes!!" Krillin then prepared a solar flare attack as Gurjal engaged on him.
"Krillin where are you?" He began to search for his energy and found it.
"Here!" Goku then teleported with Shadow to grab Krillin, they went and took cover.
"Krillin, where are the others?" Goku asked quickly.
"Still out cold. Oh god, what happened to Shadow?" They looked down upon the body of their once teacher.
"I don't know Krillin, I just found him covering me. I don't know what happened before." Krillin then searched for Shadow's injury.
"Oh man, he got him on the back I think it hit his lung." Then some gasps of breath came out of Shadow.
"He's still alive! Krillin flip him over." They flipped him over and he began to speak his last words.
"Shadow? Hey man, how you doing?" Krillin asked a very pointless question but Shadow still answered truthfully.
"Well I think I've been better Krillin. Damn the flash is fading, I am afraid that Gurjal will recover his eyes, Goku you must defeat him." Goku then began to shake his head.
"Shadow, I can't I don't have enough power to kill him, there's no way I can do it." Shadow then hit Goku.
"I didn't train quitters, if I wanted to train a quitter I would have stayed on with my kin." Goku then looked at Krillin with shame.
"I am sorry Shadow."
"No Goku, you do have strength, you have much to do in this world your time has just begun. Your future is set; you are destined to save the world, to be a miracle worker. You have your whole life ahead of you; this is just a little bump on the road. You can and will overcome it." Goku then began to think over his duties, what he swore to do.
"My time is spent may my blessings pass on to you." Shadow then placed his hand on Goku's arm and began to transfer his power.
"May this gift allow you to see your destiny and that you will defeat all odds and foes." Goku then became overwhelmed by the power just given to him and could not believe the force he now possessed.
"Goku I can feel your power, it's huge!" Krillin stood in gasp as he felt the transfer himself.
"No doubt Gurjal has felt this, use it now and make all our wishes come true. Farewell Goku, until our next meeting." Shadow then began to fall back, his pupils dilated and his skin pale. He has now died for the cause.
"Goodbye Shadow, I hope to see you again someday." Goku then rose to his feet and began to feel the responsibility now in his hands.
"Hey Goku." Krillin got up and began to walk over to his friend.
"Yeah Krillin." Krillin then took Goku's hand and began to transfer.
"I think that's what Shadow wanted me to do."
"I don't want it all Krillin, you need some to gather the others if I fail." Krillin quickly looked at Goku and put his hand onto his shoulder.
"You cannot fail, you will not fail Goku." Krillin gave Goku a smile and then went back and took off to find the others.
"Little man where are you going?" Gurjal went to get Krillin but then suddenly was stopped by a direct hit to the face.
"You're not going anywhere Gurjal, it ends now, and it ends here." Goku then went into battle stance. Gurjal then turned around to face the now determined saiyan.
"That's all I wanted saiyan." He then too went into stance and now they were ready to battle to the death. They began to power up and then engaged.
