Rennix tossed Goku into a building. "You need to work on your power level, Saiyan. You just
don't have what it takes to be a real warrior."

A blast of energy whizzed past Rennix's head, annihilating a nearby building. "No one kills
Kakarotto but me!"

Rennix turned around. A golden haired warrior dressed in Saiyan armor landed across from
him. Rennix watched him with a bored expression. "Who are you?"

The Saiyan smiled. "I am Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans. And Kakarotto is mine to deal
with. So I suggest you leave him be, if you want to fight a real opponent!"

"And I suppose that is you," replied Rennix, tossing Goku to the ground and taking a few
steps forward. "Very well. I'll fight you. But be warned-- I give no mercy."

Vegeta smiled. "How quant. A comedian. This battle will be quick." Vegeta thrust his palm
forward, muttered Big Bang, and blasted Rennix into the sky. Vegeta flew after him,
punching him side to side. Vegeta planted his fist in Rennix's stomach, then turned around
and hit him in the back with both hands, throwing Rennix down to the ground. Rennix
landed on his feet, staring up at Vegeta with an impish gleam in his eye. Vegeta smiled
wider. At last a real challenge. He warped in front of Rennix, and immediately began
pummeling the Zaolyn with punches and kicks, slowly pushing him backward. Goku watched
all of this from the damaged building where he now stood.

"When is Rennix going to stop playing games and beat Vegeta?" wondered Goku to himself.
"He is way stronger than Vegeta, and now he's just toying with him!"





Piccolo and his clones charged Nezzru, automatically giving their all in hopes of beating the
black-haired Zaolyn. Nezzru dodged each blow, laughed, and sent Piccolo flying into a wall.
The other clones did the same. The Piccolos combined back into one. Nezzru smiled as his
clones fused back with him. "Now, Namek, I will make your end a short one."

But before the Zaolyn could make a move, Gohan rammed into him, pushing him through
the air. Nezzru floated across from the Saiyan. "You want this?" asked Nezzru. "Come and
get it!"

Gohan's expression remained that of silence as he turned SSJ2. "Gladly."

He sprang at Nezzru, smacking him in the face. Nezzru cussed and flew over to the roof of a
nearby building. Gohan landed next to him and the two started punching each other. Videl
watched as she and Krillin stood over the injured Piccolo.

Gohan screamed. "You will never hurt my friends again!!" shouted Gohan, kicking Nezzru in
the face and warping into air as Nezzru swung at the Saiyan in retaliation. Gohan appeared
behind the Zaolyn and jammed his fist into Nezzru's back. Nezzru spat blood and fell to
Earth. Gohan followed him, landing at the feet of Nezzru, who was now laying injured on the
ground. Gohan lifted him up by his shirt.

"You will never hurt my friends again. Now leave. Take your friend with you."

Nezzru smiled. He grabbed Gohan's shoulders and suddenly a wave of blue electricity raced
through Gohan's body. "AAAAAHHAHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Gohan as Nezzru pitched him
into the debris behind him.

"Gohan!" screamed Videl moments before Nezzru fired a barrage of energy balls into the
crater Gohan was once standing in. Videl's eyes welled up with tears as she fell to her knees,
sobbing. Krillin held her shoulders. She cried. "Gohan... no..."

Nezzru turned toward the young girl and the bald fighter. Krillin caught his vision and
shouted out, terrified. He pulled Videl to her feet and yelled at her. "Come on, Videl! If we
don't get out of here, that guy's going to destroy us!!" Videl looked ahead of Krillin in fear as
Nezzru warped in front of the two.

Nezzru's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "Trying to escape? It will be of futile comings.
Now please, be easy targets and hold still."

"NOOOO!!!!!!" screamed Gohan as he fired a huge ball of energy into Nezzru. The Zaolyn
had little time to utter a scream before he was blown into a row of buildings.

Gohan ran up to Videl and hugged her tightly. She looked at him. His lip was bleeding, his
face was covered with dirt, and his clothes were torn. Videl smiled. "You look beautiful."

Gohan grinned. "I'm glad you're safe."

"Not quite."

Gohan froze. Slowly, he turned around. There, behind him, stood an incredibly injured
Nezzru, with a gleam of death in his eyes.




Vegeta blasted Rennix back. "Now you will learn that Earth belongs to the Prince of all
Saiyans!" screamed Vegeta. "Galick Gun!!"

The huge beam of light annihilated everything in its path. Except for Rennix. He stood
there, a smile tediously growing. "That's enough."

Vegeta could only watch as Rennix instantly appeared in front of him and shoved his knee
deep into Vegeta's chest. Vegeta groaned loudly. Rennix hit him down into the rows of
buildings, appearing below him and giving him an uppercut to the face. Vegeta fell
backwards into the rubble. Rennix couldn't help but laugh at such a pitiful display.

Goku watched with growing rage. "Rennix! Come on!" he shouted. Rennix looked at Goku
and laughed again.

"Why should I bother with you? You are a weakling! You are no threat! Hahahaha!!"

"Just wait," said Goku. With a loud yell, Goku began to glow with a yellow flame, and soon
the man standing before Rennix was SSJ3. Rennix grumbled. Maybe the Saiyan deserved
some attention after all. Rennix drifted toward him. Before he had even moved a decent ten
feet, Goku had punched him eight times in the stomach, given him a roundhouse kick on
both sides of his face, and shoved him into a building. As Goku held Rennix pinned to the
wall of the building, he smiled deeply. "Give?"

Rennix merely smiled back. "No." He screamed, his powerful ki causing the wall his body was
against to crumble, and the entire building to cave in. Goku flew out of the building's core in
time to watch it crush Rennix.

Or so he thought. Rennix burst through the ceiling, tossing energy blast after blast at Goku.
Goku dodged the attacks, making his way toward Rennix. He grabbed Rennix but Rennix
warped out of his grip.

Goku began to freak out. How could he be so strong? Even a SSJ3 stood no chance! It was
impossible to beat him! Goku flickered out. "No. NNNOOOOO!!!!!" He flew straight at
Rennix, who hovered above the city engulfed in his own ki. He laughed and fired a single
shot at Goku. It struck him in the chest, not enough to break through, but enough to send
Goku falling to the ground. Goku closed his eyes, and fell into a state of unconsciousness.





Nezzru grimaced darkly. "I never lose," he said as he charged Gohan. Gohan ran at the
Zaolyn and the two began punching and kicking again, moving back and forth, punching,
kicking, ramming, and giving everything they had into the fight. Nezzru rammed his arm
into Gohan's face. He shouted out and stumbled backward. Nezzru pointed his hands toward
Gohan in desperation. "Yatomisnu!!!"

The giant ball of energy flew straight at Gohan. Almost frozen with shock, he tried with the
last of his strength to push away the ball of energy. But Nezzru was determined, and the
energy blast was too powerful for even Gohan to hold back. A bright light filled the city, and
an explosion rattled the now evacuated buildings and towers. Videl cried out as she searched
for Gohan. "Gohan! Gohan! Gohan! Where are you, Gohan?!" She sobbed and fell to her
feet.

Rennix landed next to his brother. "It seems that you were able to handle things here,
brother. What shall we do now?"

Nezzru turned to his brother. "Perhaps we should do what we came here to do."

"Oh! With all the commotion, I completely forgot! Good point! Let's get going."

The two Zaolyns left the frightened Krillin and the crying Videl to mourn over their friends'
deaths.

Rennix pulled out a small, silver metal object. Nezzru glared at it. "The talisman. Do you
suppose it will show us the way?"

Rennix laughed. "That is what it was designed for. Now follow me."

The two characters drifted through the town, past ravaged structures, past ruins of shops,
and around the town again and again, until Rennix set down in the broken innards of what
was formerly a store. Nezzru looked around, then turned to Rennix. The Zaolyn smirked and
jumped into the air, firing a blast into the floor. A huge explosion rattled the nearby sites.
When the smoke cleared, the top of an old, metal orb could be seen where the floor of the
store was an instant before. It was a huge orb, and was most likely once a usable star ship.

Rennix ripped off part of the ship and floated down inside it. Nezzru followed. The two
landed in the ship's haul and searched the room. Finally, Rennix's eyes came to rest on what
he had been looking for. The Eternity Gem.

He held it up to the weak light shining through the hole in the ceiling of the star ship.
"Brother, come quickly! Look!"

Nezzru ran over and looked at it. His eyes widened in awe. Rennix's smile was now that of a
twisted madman. "Now, we rule."





"Kakarotto. Kakarotto! Wake up, Kakarotto!" shouted Vegeta as he kicked Goku in the side,
rousing him to his senses. Goku looked at him.

"Vegeta?"

"Yes. Fuse with me, now! I must defeat that insolent fool! Come now, Kakarotto!" He
yanked Goku to his feet. Goku swayed back and forth. He felt incredibly weak from the
battle. But he knew Vegeta was right. Fusion was the only course left.

"Okay! Let's fuse!" shouted Goku, standing across from Vegeta. The two moved sideways at
each other, and pressed their fingers together, causing a bright light to swallow them up.
When the light faded, a solemn figure stood. Gogeta.
