Chapter Four: Out of the Void


Vegeta coughed up blood. 'Bitch.' he thought to himself. He looked beside him. He could still feel Trunks' lifeforce, but the others were gone. "She killed them all." Vegeta stood to his feet. He felt a rage building up inside him. His body began to radiate with power.

"I still can't go Super Saiyan," said Vegeta, "At least, not level one. But maybe, there's still a chance Trunks and I can stop Upuar. I just hope nothing's happened at Capsule Corp." Vegeta grabbed his son and flew off into the sky.


Meanwhile, at that exact same moment, nothing happened nowhere. A lone figure stood up in a vast, white plane. "So, it finally happened." he said to himself, "Time to go back." A red aura covered his body and he flew off into the void.


Upuar was having a grand time. Her minions followed her as she tortured the ctitzens of Satan City. Mr. Satan stood with Videl in his high rise office. "Honey, I... I just wanted to say how much I love you now." he said to his daughter. She looked up at her father. She had died twice before. He had never experienced death. Never experienced the pain of your soul travelling through that tunnel in order to get to Heaven, or Hell, or wherever you were going. She smiled as Upuar came closer. Mr. Satan let a lone tear stream down his face. 'Is this the end?' he thought, 'I'm the hero of the world! I won't just sit here and let this... whatever this thing is kill me!'

Mr. Satan pushed Videl away. "Listen, pumpkin," he smiled, "I guess I'd better go do something. I suppose I could go fight it. I can't just die without a fight. I'm just... not that kind of guy." Videl smiled and pressed a button on her watch. The Great Saiyanman 2 outfit appeared over her street clothes. "You know what, Dad?" she smiled back, tugging on her gloves, "To Hell with it. Let's go down slugging."

Upuar hovered above Mr. Satan's building. She formed a ball of dark energy and screamed the name of her attack.

"DAAAAARRRRK MAAAAATTTTEEEEERRRRRR!"

As she hurled the ball, she suddenly pulled back, seeing the two humans standing up to her. "Hey!" yelled Videl, "Come down here and fight like a girl!" Upuar laughed. She hadn't seen any bravery from the other humans. Just fear.

"You want to dance?" Upuar smirked, "I'll be happy to oblige." She hovered down and stood in front of Videl. "Aw," said Upuar, "Widdle superhewo gonna die in a blaze of glory?" Videl sneered. Suddenly, she felt a blast in her back. Mr. Satan looked in horror as his daughter had a hole blown through her by a beam.

"That blast..." said Satan, "That was Kamehameha..." He looked up and saw Gohan floating in the air, his hands together, smoking. Gohan smiled evily.

"G... Gohan?" Satan stuttered, "N... no! Videl! Videl, NOOOOO!" Mr. Satan rushed at Upuar. The girl smiled at the old man rushing towards her. He was running on pure emotion. Anger. Fear. Possibly even disdain. But mainly, he was running on pure sadness. He had lost his daughter. Sure, when she married Gohan, she wasn't around as much (Wait, she wasn't around anyway...), but whoever this woman was, she had gone too far. He knew Gohan would never hurt his wife.

Upuar held out her hand, grabbing Mr. Satan's face. He grabbed her wrist as she squeezed hard. He felt his skull begin to cave in as she kept applying pressure. Suddenly, Upuar was kicked to the side. Mr. Satan fell limply to the ground. Trunks picked him up.

"You just won't die!" Upuar screamed, holding her side, "Vegeta! Trunks! You can't even go Super Saiyan, and even then, you wouldn't stand a chance against me! Why, then, do you sitll fight me?" Vegeta smiled. "Silly girl," he laughed, "We have a trump card. We aren't idiots as some would have you to believe. Allow us to show you what a true Saiyan looks like."

Vegeta pulled out a tiny Hoi Poi Capsule. He threw it to the ground and there was a machine not even Trunks had seen before. "This is the Brute Ray 2." Vegeta said, "Now bow before the royal Saiyans!" With that, Vegeta picked up the device and proceeded to activate it. A red light encircled the two. Trunks dropped Mr. Satan, unprepared for the energy now surging through his body.

"Listen, boy," Vegeta whispered, "This will show her. Don't be afraid of the power, it's... a trip." Suddenly, the light shot outwards. Upuar covered her eyes. "So," Upuar smiled, "This is nice..."

When the light dissipated, two reborn warriors stood defiantly. Vegeta and Trunks had gone to the fourth level of Super Saiyan. Upuar clapped sarcasticly. She wasn't impressed.

Without a word, the battle started, but Upuar wasn't about to get herself dirty. She immediately sent out her troops. Tien and Chaozu fell by the wayside, but Trunks and Vegeta had a harder time against Piccolo, Gohan, and Goten. Trunks couldn't bring himself to hurt his friends. So Vegeta gladly took them all out singlehandedly. It seemed as though when you were a slave of Upuar, you suffered a drastic power decrease. Vegeta and Trunks then readied themselves for the fight against Upuar.

When it began, it was back and forth. The two Saiyans blasted Upuar. Hurt, she fired back, depleting the Saiyan's energy. Then, Hargot appeared on Satan's rooftop. He grabbed the fallen ex-chapion and raised him to the sky. Below, the people saw this and thought back to when Buu was terrorizing the Earth. Satan donated his energy to destroy Buu. He must want them to donate their enrgies again. And so, they held their arms high above their heads, and the people of the Earth willingly sacrificed their energy to Upuar.

In a matter of seconds, Vegeta and Trunks were at Upuar's mercy.


In a spot high above the clouds, in a place undetectable by any sort of human senses or man-made radars, a flash of light appeared from nowhere. Out of it, there formed a man. On his face, there was a smile. He flew down towards the Earth.


Upuar threw Trunks into a wall, his spine snapping and jutting out his back.. Now, with the people's help, she was 100 times as powerful as she once was. Vegeta rushed at her, but felt a million fists hit him from all sides all at once. This feeling repeated itself ten times. Vegeta fell to the streets below, unconscious. Dead. Hargot looked up at Upuar. His plan was going perfectly. He had rectified the mistake he made at the summoning. He only befriended Puar because he knew Puar would be integral to the second coming.

Hargot thought about all that had transpired. How he hired a group of rogue policemen to wipe out the tribe. How he waited so many years to repeat the summoning. How he used Upuar's power over positive energy to channel forth the negative energy. Hargot laughed. He was the master of the most powerful creature in existence.

Upuar looked down upon Satan City. "This place holds too many bad memories." she said, "I'll destroy it." Upuar formed the Dark Matter attack again, this time aiming for Satan's dojo in the center of town. She threw the beam, but Ubuu appeared, trying to deflect the blast.

"Foolish one," said Upuar, "Why do you sacrifice yourself? You know you cannot take such a blast!" Ubuu, being incinerated by the beam, yelled out a dying cry.

"I AM TRYING TO DESTRACT YOU!"

Upuar pulled back the blast yet again and turned to see a being Hargot had not informed her about. "Who are you?" Upuar scowled.

"I'm here to destroy you." the new challenger said. 7 tiny, yellow spheres descended from the sky and orbited around him.

"I... am Goku."
