Chapter 12: Unexpected Trouble
Goku lifted a small sheet of paper from his son's desk. The neat, elegant writing on it was easily identified as Gohan's. Well, this is certainly what I expected. But where are they? "Chichi," he called out, "have you seen Gohan and Echo?"
She came into the room, looking a little confused. "They left a little while ago. Something about not being back for a while." the woman muttered. "What's that?" The warrior wordlessly handed it to her.
~*~
Gohan dodged Echo's last punch with difficulty. "I've never seen someone improve so fast in my life. How do you do it?" he panted. Then his gaze shifted to a ravine scarring the surface of the desert. "Your 'Starlit Inferno' sure packs a punch. I wonder what Tousan would say if he saw that one."
Some ash swirled about in the wind. "Gomen about your shirt. I didn't realize how powerful the Celestial Wildfire could be."
"Hey, you didn't hurt me. You held back more than you thought." the young warrior replied. She looked right at him then giggled.
"Sounds like your Kaasan just read the note you left. She's flipping out." He joined her, their laughing resounding throughout the area. Then a dark power intruded upon their ki sense. All mirth abruptly cut off and the couple tensed up, realizing that it was Frieza.
The evil tyrant landed right in front of them, crossing his arms over his chest. "This is just so convient. Two monkey brats right here. My job is so much easier." He sarcastically stated.
Gohan, we're going to need some help.
Hai, Echo. Tousan's coming.
I hope that we can hold out until then.
"Are you two done staring?" came a rude inquiry. With an evil laugh, he lunged at the startled teens. The Ice-jin kept at it, trying to truly catch them off guard so that he could end this battle quickly. When a punch came towards the amazon, she caught his hand, then delivered a fierce blow of her own. Echo leapt away from him, ready to defend herself again.
"What a surprise. Only a true warrior could cause me such pain." the tyrant muttered. He fired an attack at her, which was easily dodged.
"MASENKO!!!" Gohan cried as his attack soared at his enemy. This, he attempted to dodge, but another attack hit him from behind. The combined forces caused him to fall down, knocking the wind out of him to boot.
Goku then landed next to the two young warriors. "We got your note. Man, did Chichi ever flip out." he whispered.
Frieza shot up out of the crater created by his own body. "Enough with the gab." he growled. Another attack soared towards the trio standing in front of him. The saiya-jin warrior easily knocked them away from their course. "No! Not this time! I will not be defeated!!" The Ice-jin powered up again, causing startlement for the other warriors.
Gohan, I think it's time to power up. We can't handle him in our normal forms.
Hai, Tousan. Let's give him a beating to remember. Hopefully, he won't come back this time. The two warriors cried out as the golden flames of a super saiya-jin enveloped their forms. Black hair became golden and obsidian eyes snapped into turquoise.
"Frieza, I don't think you realize what you've gotten yourself into. We will never let you destroy this world." Goku declared. The tyrant was having a difficult time defending himself from two enraged saiya-jins. Rage began to build up within the saiya-jins battling him. Both of them powered up to the second level of a super saiya-jin. Yet, the Ice-jin knocked both of them across the clearing.
"Now to deal with you, little saiya-ling." he growled. The evil creature lunged at her, expecting the amazon to be defenseless, because of the small amount of training she'd received wasn't nearly enough to do anything to him.
Surprise came over him as she easily eluded his strikes, then delivered a few of her own. A loud battle cry erupted from her as she released a ki attack that looked like a shock wave. The loud noise woke Gohan.
"Oh, that really hurt." came a sarcastic statement. This caused her ki to flare again. Her sky-blue aura began to become deeper in color, then began to turn golden. A loud scream erupted from her as the transformation finished. Unlike the male super saiya-jins, the female's hair didn't form a crown above her head. It still hung down to her waist, only now, it was golden.
"Echo, w..what? How did you do that?" Gohan stuttered.
"Beats me. By the way, your tousan is awake." she muttered in reply. As the older warrior got to his feet, he stared at her like she was an angel. "Um, Goku, that's enough." He nodded and stopped staring at her.
Frieza now felt fear beginning to tug at his soul. No, not three of them! He lunged towards them, refusing to believe that the girl was a threat. It was that belief that sealed his doom.
She looked over to the young warrior next to her. Shall we tag team him?
Echo, you're a little mischief maker. Yes, let's. Gohan charged at the tyrant then kicked him in his stomach. While he attempted to get ahold of his assailant, Echo hit his face hard.
The attack fired at her was easily blocked by a simple ki shield. The saiya-jin warrior charged up his attack before letting it fly at Frieza. This attack couldn't be blocked, so the evil creature hit the ground with the sound of thunder.
The Ice-jin looked up, only to see Goku finishing a power up to the third level of super saiya-jin. "You monkey brats! I suppose this was just a shenanigan to buy time for him to power up!" he roared.
Well, that wasn't our objective.
Too true, Echo. Tousan, please get over here and help us.
I'm coming, but which one of you hit him on the nose? Goku inquired.
That would've been me. the girl thought.
We all have to attack together! "KAME...HAME...HA!!!"
"MASENKO!!!"
"CELESTIAL WILDFIRE!!!" The three attacks flew at the tyrant with incredible speed, each one from a different side. There was no way Frieza could escape. He screamed his last as the combined power of the attacks vaporized his body. Death returned to him like a dark demon, pulling his soul away from the physical plane.
Those remaining stopped firing the attacks. Echo sat down rather abruptly as she powered down to her original state. "Wore yourself out, ne?" Goku inquired.
"Hai, I did. I'm just not sure if I can handle that much power yet."
The other two powered down as well. "Let's go home." All of them lifted off into the sky, flying back to the house. It was time for them to rest and let the other senshi know that the threat was gone; at least for now.
