Chapter 3 - Hidden Potentials
Same as always, the sun rose on the shrine of the Masakis. As usual Birds sang their morning song. As usual the morning dew settled on the grass. All in all, it was a normal day in the Natural world around the shrine. I don't think one could say that about the INSIDE of the house, but that house never was too normal.
Goku had woken up early in the morning, with his Super Saiyan stomach growling. When he went to check the refrigerator, he gasped.
"My god! What is this?! All I see is carrots!!!!"
While he may not have meant to say it so loudly, he did succeed in waking up the whole house. A disgruntled Ryoko rubs her eyes as she enters the kitchen.
"What the heck was all that racket?"
Goku turns around, and begins to try to apologize to the tired Ryoko. "I'm so sorry! I guess I just never have been to a place that only has carrots. Last night we did have carrots, but also other things too..."
"That's because that's Ryo-ohki's food fridge, silly!"
Sasami walks in the kitchen as well. In her arms is a small furry... uh, not really a rabbit but... ...maybe a cat? Oh let's just let Sasami explain what it is!
"Wha, What is that?"
"This is miss Ryoko's ship, Ryo-ohki! She's a cabbit!"
"Kinda small to be a ship, right?"
Ryoko walks over to the confused Saiyan, "It's a little complicated. My mom invented Ryo-ohki as a mean of easy transportation. If I wanted to, I could make Ryo-ohki turn into a giant spaceship."
Goku pears a bit closer at the cabbit. "Is it... ...alive?"
Ryoko takes Ryo-ohki from Sasami. "Oh yes, very much. Is the concept of a living ship that hard to believe?"
"I.... ...just never have come across one." Goku reaches out his hand to the cabbit. Not recognizing his scent, Ryo-ohki jumps up and bites Goku's finger.
"YEEOOOWWCCHHHH!!!"
Goku waves his finger around and around. He finds a sink and begins to wash his throbbing finger.
"Ryo-ohki! You should know better than to bite a guest!"
Ryo-ohki looks sheepishly at her owner.
"Meeooww!"
"She's probably just hungry. Sasami, why don't you grab 2... ...no, better make it 3 baskets of carrots please!"
"Okay."
Bringing out the carrots, Ryo-ohki begins to promptly chomp them down. At this point, the rest of the house has wandered into the kitchen. Bulma rubs her eyes.
"Goku, what are you doing up so early? And what's that on the table? A rabbit? A cat?"
"Close Bulma. It's a CABBIT."
She throws up her hands. "Whatever."
Washu walks over to Ryo-ohki, "This one is one of my greatest inventions. While she is living, she is in fact a living ship. She can transform whenever she wants. Ever done something like that before, Bulma?"
"Well, I always thought experimenting on living things was cruel."
"You're just jealous!"
Bulma shruggs, "Whatever!"
Washu turns back to Ryo-ohki. "Not only is she part Rabbit, Cat, and ship. But she also has been made with an enormous appetite for carrots."
At the sound of food, "Really? How much could she put away? Not as much as human, right?"
"Very wrong, Mr. Goku. Ryo-ohki can eat up to 100 times her own body weight.. Since her body can expand to make a ship, it's rather simple to eat a lot. A ship does need fuel."
Gohan walks forward, "There's no way that thing could out eat my dad. He has enough room to eat a 1,000 times his weight!"
Tenchi goes over to Gohan. "You got a wild imagination kid. But I've never seen ANYONE out eat Ryo-ohki."
Vegeta is now also up and about in the kitchen. "What the fuck is with all this carrots? Can't a prince get a decent meal here?"
Ayeka smiles at Vegeta. "Oh, good morning Mr. Vegeta!"
"Aw stuff it up your ass, bitch."
Yamcha is at Ayeka's side in a second. "Vegeta! That was uncalled for!"
"Whatever earthling." Vegeta finds the second fridge and takes out a few select things. Namely, the houses' best and most expensive foods.
Before he walks off to eat alone, he turns around. "You know, Kakarot. Your name means "Carrot." I think a match would be most interesting between you and the cabbit. You do ACT like an animal."
He walks off outside, with Goku sticking his tongue out at the retreating Saiyan Prince. Mihoshi jumps on the table. "Then it's official! Son Goku vs. Ryo-ohki! He will end up being the biggest eater of all?"
"As long as there's food, I'm in. I just hope that 'cabbit' is up to my abilities."
"Would you be able to put that up, Mr. Goku?"
"Sure! Let's eat some carrots!"
Outside, a cloth is et up. 40 baskets of carrots are out there, with 20 for each eater. Chi-Chi, Gohan, Bulma, and Yamcha are behind Goku, cheering him on. The whole Tenchi gang are backing up Ryo-ohki. Vegeta watches from a distance.
"Hmmph! Idiots."
Yosho comes and raises his hand. "Alright. The first one to eat all of his carrots... ....Wins! And... GO!!!"
His hand drops. Ryo-ohki and Goku go at the carrots like dogs. The first basket falls first to Goku, followed quickly by the second and third. Ryo-ohki then makes a come back and eats the 4th basket before Goku. Through the 5-10 baskets, they are even. Then Goku comes out with a victory over the 11th and 12th baskets, but then Ryo-ohki gets the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Baskets #18 and 19 fall quickly with both as a tie. The audience grows tense.
"C'mon Goku you can do it!"
"Your appetite has never failed you dad! Go for it!"
"Let's go Ryo-ohki! I invented you, so you have to win!"
A dust cloud comes up from the rapid eating. All of a sudden, the 20th basket of Goku is held up. It is empty.
"Yeah! Way to go Goku!"
"I knew that your stomach would do something good for once!"
Goku staggers a bit. "Wow, that was a lot of carrots. I... ...don't feel so good...?!?!" He runs over to some bushes where puking sounds are heard. Ryo-ohki follows in suit and throws up as well.
Tenchi sits down. "Amazing! I've never seen anyone get the better of Ryo-ohki. This Goku must have one amazing stomach!"
Yosho just stares at the vomiting Goku. How could any human be able to do what he just saw. He'd never seen any being eat like that except for... ...a saiyan. Didn't that Vegeta person call him Kakarot? That's a saiyan name. Also Vegeta was name of the King and planet of the saiyans. Only one way to be sure...
Yosho walks up to Goku. "Mr. Son. Could I have a word with you?"
Goku is now recovering. "Ugh, oh, sure Yosho."
Yosho motions for Goku to follow him. Gohan sees them walk away. Curious as ever, he follows them. Yosho leads Goku up to the floating garden above the shrine's lake. There, he and Goku sit down in the beautiful little spot.
"Wow, Yosho! This place is amazing! How does it float like this?"
"It's based on the same principle of your flying, Mr. Son. Except here it is supported by Jurain power."
"Tell me, Yosho. Just is this Planet Jurai? I may not be the biggest knowledge on different planets and such, but do have quite a knowing of the universe."
"Well, Planet Jurai generally doesn't stick it's nose where it doesn't belong. By the time our scouts first reached Earth, we discovered that your species was evolving nicely. We felt that we didn't need to intervene."
"I see."
Yosho slips off his sandals and dips his feet in the water. Not wanting to be the odd one out, Goku takes off his combat boots and slips his own feet in the warm water.
"Not even the Galaxy Police tend to come out this far. That officer, Mihoshi,, was accidentally dropped here when she was chasing Kagato."
"Kagato? Who's that?"
"Well, let's just say he was one bad ass. He lived for nearly 2,000 years, destroying and plundering planet after planet. The scientist Washu, along with Ryoko, Ryo-ohki, and the Soja were kidnapped by him. Luckily, a long time ago I confronted and defeated Ryoko and set her free of Kagato's control."
"This Kagato character sounds a lot like my race."
"You mean the human race?" Yosho was beginning to think that Goku was just going to spit it out for a second.
"No, you see, I'm a Saiyan."
Doh! Well that certainly answers my question.
"That's what I thought."
"What is it?"
Yosho thinks back, to a time long ago. "Back when I was a prominent knight of the Royal Jurai blood line, I was sent out on various missions with my men. Although the majority of them were always peaceful and diplomatic like, that all stopped one fated day... You see, we encountered a group of fighters unlike anything we had ever seen. They were ruthless, cunning, and fantastically powerful. They wiped out my men like they were mowing down grass. The most fearful thing of all, was that they did it with only one or two of their warriors! They were the Saiyans."
"I would just like to say that I never took part in any of this killing. In fact when I was a baby I was..."
"Silence Saiyan! Let me finish!" Yosho said with a serious tone.
Goku backs off a bit. "Jeez, was it something I said?"
Yosho turns back. "Moving on... This period of chaos was horrible. The citizens of Jurai always believed that their government was the strongest in the universe. Something being stronger than them was preposterous. So the Saiyans were kept a secret. As the days and weeks turned into months, things were getting worse. The death tolls were rising, people were beginning to ask questions, and we had never even killed a single one of them. I had battled a few one on one, but never successfully beat one. It was at this moment that we decided to try to unleash the might of Tsunami against the Saiyans. But something else happened before we could do that. Kagato attacked with Ryoko. Despite what I told my sister Ayeka, I didn't just leave just because of the blood line issue. I left to take my anger of the Saiyans out on Ryoko. When our fight concluded on the Earth, my ship was horribly damaged and I had to let it grow as a tree. That's what stuck me here."
"The one order I was told by my superiors, the emperor and empress of Jurai, was that Saiyans were to be terminated with extreme prejudice..."
Yosho turned to Goku. "And Jurains never disobey an order."
"Nooo!!! Father!!!"
Gohan, who had been listening from a distance jumped out of hiding he immediately put himself between Goku and Yosho.
"I have half Saiyan blood in me! Take me instead!"
"Gohan!" Gou exclaimed.
Yosho began to stammer. "Wh, What?"
"If you take on Gohan, then you deal with me!"
All the heads turn to the entrance of the Garden. A green man wearing the all-to-familiar white cape and hat is standing there.
Gohan smiles and yells out, "Piccolo!"
Yosho is now in utter confusion. "Piccolo, but who? How?"
Piccolo walks up to the old man. "No one harms Gohan as long as there's air in my lungs."
Yosho was beginning to understand. "Harm Gohan? Why would I do that?"
"Because Jurains we told to exterminate all Saiyans!"
Goku was up now too. "Besides! You never let me finish! I was sent to Earth as a baby. I never took part in any killing and even bonked by head when I fell of a cliff. I remembered nothing of my Saiyan mission or blood."
Piccolo began to take up a fighting stance. "As I said before, NO ONE IS HARMING GOHAN!"
Yosho walks up to Piccolo and puts an appeasing arm on the Namek. "Please sir, you didn't let ME finish."
"What?"
Yosho laughed a bit. "You thought that I would try to kill to Goku and his son Gohan?! Hah! I may be an old man, but I'm not stupid. First of all, I have lost much of my old fighting spirit. I can only create one Lighthawk Wing!"
Piccolo was beginning to calm down as well. "Okay..."
"Plus!" Yosho continued, "I know all about Goku. Jurains have many abilities, and one of them is the ability to communicate and make contact with celestial deities. One of my best old sparring buddies was the Kaiou of the Northern Galaxy."
"King Kai!"
"Yes, him. I know all about your fantastic power Goku. You are, in fact, the Legendary Super Saiyan! How could I compare?!"
"Well, you just scared us a bit I guess." Gohan said.
"What I was going to say is that Jurains may have followed all orders, but at this point I broke all ties with Jurai. The Planet Vegeta blew up several years after I landed, so the Saiyans paid for their crimes. Plus I was marooned on this Planet. I forsake all of my Jurain ties and tried to live as an normal human. Trust me: No Saiyan or half Saiyan has anything to worry from me!"
Piccolo was alright now. He folded his arms up in his usual fashion. "I see."
Yosho turns to Piccolo. "And you! Mr. Piccolo! Don't think I don't know who you are! At the same time I was landing, so was a Namek who looked a lot like you. You know him well. He is now known as the Guardian of the Earth!"
Goku was awestruck. "Kami!?! How do you know about him?"
Yosho gives a wry grin. "Now Goku, just because you and your friends are some of the strongest beings in the universe doesn't mean that you're not the only ones with... ...connections."
Goku was now calmed down. "I see."
Turning back to Piccolo, Yosho began talking to him again. "Ah, but that was years ago. Only recently have my ties with him been a bit stronger. You know, it was me who convinced him to be god. I said that he was the only person on this rock with enough spirit and honor. But enough of this foolish hiding and such, Piccolo."
He walks over to the exit. "Let's go mingle for a while."
He exits the garden. Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan just look blankly at each other. "Well, that was interesting, wasn't it guys?"
Inside the Masaki house, in Washu's lab.
Bulma is being shown the many inventions of Washu. She awestruck by them.
"Pretty amazing aren't they Bulma? Bet you never invented this much!"
Bulma is checking out a robot of some kind. "I guess I just never felt the need to. I only invented things when they would become a great asset in our battles and such. That's why I invented the Dragon Radar so that we could track down the Dragonballs."
Washu looks confused for the first time ever. "Dragonballs?"
Bulma smirks. "Does the great Washu not know of the Earth's Dragonballs? Well here's the synopsis: long ago the Guardian of the Earth aka Kami aka God created a set of 7 amazing balls called Dragonballs. When all 7 are collected from the far reaches of the Earth they can be used to call out the Eternal Dragon. After that, the Dragon can grant any one wish within the powers of God. The Dragon Radar was invented so that we could track the balls down."
Washu is impressed. "Amazing! You must of used an over-addressing matrix to lock on to the uniform characteristics of the balls. Then used simple fiber optics to put up a radar like screen with LCD screen."
Bulma moves on to some of the other inventions. "Uh, yeah right. Say what's this thing?" She points to a curious assembly of thick wires, three glass tubes, and a big console that it is all attached to."
Washu walks proudly over to it. "This, my dear, is probably my greatest invention. I call it: An Atomic Rephaser!"
"Uh what does it do?"
Washu walks over to it. "If it were finished and worked perfectly, what it would do is literally combine two objects of the 3rd dimensional plane into one. It looks for one uniform characteristic within the atomic mass of the two objects and, if that characteristic is constant enough, will fuse the two things together!"
"Amazing."
Washu begins to push some buttons. "The problem is, that this form of Atomic Fusion takes up a TON of power. It takes the equivalent of nearly 10 nuclear reactors just to get it started. And after the objects fuse, the power drainage it takes to keep them together is even stronger. Luckily, I have a Positronic relay for my power distributor, so I have adequate power to get it going. But I have never had two objects stay fused for more than one millionth of a second."
Washu is rapidly typing on her keyboard. "Here's some of the rapid still shots my computer takes every trillionth of second during the fusion. Check this out!"
Bulma peers at the screen. Before her, is a bird. But not like any bird she had ever seen. It had the markings of a Blue Jay, but was much bigger. In fact, as she look back to the containment tubes, she thought that the bird was the size of an Eagle. And the head was not of an Blue Jay's. It was very similar to a Bald eagle's.
"You fused a blue jay and a bald eagle?"
"Yep."
Bulma points to the tubes. "Let me guess, the two things your fusing go in there, and the fused creature comes out there!"
"You hit the nail right on the head, Bulma. The other bad thing about the fusion is that it's very unstable. Even though it's hard enough just to keep the fusion, it takes even more just to keep the fusion from decaying. A strong punch to any of this fused things would defuse them."
"Absolutely amazing, Washu."
At the living room of the house.
Everyone is fooling around and drinking sake. Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihoshi and Yamcha are watching TV. Noboyuki and Sasami are plating with Ryo-ohki. Well, Noboyuki was more or lessed dragged into playing. Tenchi is sweeping the floor, looking rather peeved at the lazy bums. You'd think they offered to help me with these chores, he thought. He hears the front door open, and goes over to see who's here. He drops his broom and screams out: "What the hell is THAT?!"
Yosho, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo walk in the house. At the sound of Tenchi's yell, Ayeka and Ryoko at Tenchi side in an instant. They both place themselves between Piccolo and Tenchi. "You'll have to get through us to get to Tenchi, you monster!"
Piccolo just stares a the two woman. "Uhhh, I'm not really a monster."
Gohan puts an assuring hand on Ayeka's dress. "You don't need to worry about Mr. Piccolo. He's a great man. He's saved the Earth countless times."
Ryoko still looks agitated. "That's a man?!"
Yosho walks over to Ryoko. "No, not at all. In fact, his species doesn't even originate from our solar system!"
Tenchi breaks free of Ryoko and Ayeka's barrier. He walks up to Piccolo. "Well, if your not my enemy, then I guess you're my friend. Hi! My name's Tenchi."
He shakes hands with the Namek. At this time, Bulma and Washu exit from her lab. They are saying:
"...still think it's possible? I mean that's a lot of power... ...oh my god! Piccolo!"
Piccolo looks towards Bulma. "Oh, hello Bulma."
Bulma walks over to Piccolo. "Did you follow us all the way here? We did come here to get some peace!"
Piccolo shrugs. "I felt something strange on the area, so I decided to investigate."
Washu takes out one of her scientific devices and begins to scan Piccolo. She cries out with excitement. "Wow! Amazing. I've never seen a specimen in this great of shape. An actual, living, Namek!"
Tenchi looks over Piccolo. "Is that what you're kind is called? Nameks?"
"Yeah... umph! Hey woman! What do you think you're doing?"
Washu is trying to pull Piccolo with her to her lab. "I've never seen such a great specimen of Namek before. C'mon! I must experiment on you!"
Sweat drops appear on everyone's head. Piccolo looks blandly at Washu. "I am a living thing. Just because I'm a different species doesn't give you the right to experiment on me. Besides, I think you'd find it a little hard to get me to cooperate!"
Washu is begging. "Oh please! Mr. Piccolo"
Yamcha, Noboyuki, and Sasami walk into the room. Seeing Piccolo, Yamcha waves. "Hey Piccolo! What're you doing here?"
Sasami's reaction is a little less than friendly. "OH MY GOD! THERE'S A GIANT BUG IN THE HOUSE!!! SQUASH IT!!! SQUASH IT!!!!"
Giant sweat drops appear on everyone's head. Gohan walks over to comfort Sasami. Yosho talks to Piccolo. "Once you get used to them, they're really not that bad."
"I'll have to take your word for it."
Goku turns to Yosho. "Same with us. We may be a bit strange, but we try to be as normal as possible."
"Really Kakarot? Always thought that you were the one who wanted to live your life by fighting strong opponents. That's not exactly 'normal.'"
Everyone looks up to see Vegeta walking down the staircase. He is wearing his battle armor and gi. It makes him look even more menacing to Ayeka, who cowers behind Yamcha. Piccolo grits his teeth.
"What the hell is HE doing here?"
Chi-Chi, who just entered the room after taking a shower, says to Piccolo, "Bulma had to bring him here. Didn't trust him alone at the Capsule Corp."
Piccolo doesn't calm down. "I still don't like it."
Vegeta just smiles and walks to the door. "Don't mind me. I'm just going out to do some training. Anyone who wants a good show, feel welcome to watch."
Vegeta walks outside. Everyone just stares blankly. Ryoko is the first to recover. "I'll go. I want see what this hot shot can do. He can't be stronger than me, so I doubt it will be that impressing."
Gohan turns to Ryoko. "Don't doubt his power. He is one of the strongest beings in the universe. He destroy this planet if he wanted to."
Ryoko just smirks. "We'll see."
Outside, in one of the open fields. Vegeta is showing off his stuff. Everyone except Sasami, Chi-Chi, and Bulma are out watching him. Yosho and Tenchi are on the roof of the house, while everyone else is on the ground. Vegeta breathes deeply, trying to decide on his repertoire. Ryoko yells to him across the field.
"Well, let's get the show started! If there is one to begin with."
"Just be patient woman. Ah, here we go."
In flash he's off. A hurricane a punches and kicks, all of which are moving too fast to follow individually. He performs several flips and somersaults, all being landed perfectly. Then he takes to the air, prepares a blast, and fires it straight up. Then calling it back, right at himself. Everyone gasps, but Vegeta just smiles as the blast careens into him, detonating with force of a thousand Saiyans. Ryoko just looks on.
"Well, he didn't last long. His own attack put him in."
Goku just smirks. "I wouldn't be too sure of that, Ryoko. Just look."
Everyone turns back to see. The smoke clear. Vegeta is there, unphased. He laughs. "That was just a test of my endurance! You want to see a show? Well here's one! AAAAHHHHH!!!"
Vegeta's whole body begins to glow. He throws his arms out, sending blasts out. Hundreds and hundreds of small ki blasts are sent out. They hang in the air, before they begin to come back, right at Vegeta. Vegeta laughs and dodges each one after another. As he dodges one, he slams his fist into it, causing it to explode.
The explosions light up the sky. Vegeta is moving so fast that no one can follow him. Explosion after explosion detonates in the sky. All of a sudden, Vegeta appears right in front of the gang. Everyone jumps up.
Ryoko yells, "Vegeta! All of those blast things are coming right at us! Are you crazy?!"
Vegeta doesn't even respond. He watches the approaching blasts, and brings his hands forward. Charging for a second, he lets loose a BIG beam. The ki beam flies towards the smaller blasts. In a giant flash, all of the blasts are consumed. After a little while, the smoke clears. Everyone looks around, expecting destruction. Not a single piece of the Masaki property was harmed.
Ryoko just sputters. 'Th-that's impossible!"
Up on the roof, Tenchi is awestruck. Yosho just smiles. "Didn't I say it, Tenchi? These people are phenomenally powerful. They could probably destroy this entire planet with no effort."
Tenchi comments, "Yeah, but Kagato could've done that too..."
Yosho just laughs at him. "Not if he didn't have his ship! This people could destroy this planet with their own hands, not the weapons of a ship."
"Incredible..."
Yosho gets up. "Come, Tenchi. As you know, you have great potentials. You created 3 Lighthawk Wings, whereas I could only create one. I think I have good test for you..."
Everyone is still amazed at what Vegeta had just performed. Yosho and Tenchi walk up to Goku.
"Mr. Son? I would like to make a request for you."
Goku gets up. "What is it, Yosho?"
"As you may or may not have sensed, my grandson had amazing power. Although most of the time it's hidden, it's there."
"I know how you feel. My son has the same problem. He possesses fantastic potential, even greater than my own. He can only release that potential when he is in an severe situation."
"Yes, it is frustrating when a pupil of yours cannot reach his full potential. So may I make a request of you?"
"What's that?"
"Mr. Son Goku, you are the greatest martial artist in the universe. Please... ...teach my Grandson how to fight!"
Tenchi is shocked. "Grandfather! I don't want to fight!"
"Enough, Tenchi! You have amazing dormant power. You could use that to help defend this planet!"
"I don't know Grandpa..."
Goku walks up to Tenchi. "Don't worry, Tenchi. It's not like it will kill you or anything. C'mon! It'll be fun!"
Tenchi shruggs, "I guess. What do we do first?"
Goku puts his hand underneath his chin to think. "Let's see... ...well, first I need to see where your faults lie. I need to see you fight someone..."
Tenchi, a little concerned, says "Who?"
"Well, I possess the greatest ability to control my power. If you fought me, I would make sure that your power level would match mine."
"I don't know. It sounds dangerous."
Goku pats Tenchi on the back, probably a bit too hard. "Don't worry! I am a great controller of my own ki. If it gets too rough, just say so."
Tenchi rubs the spot where Goku patted him. "I guess so..."
Across the field, yells are heard. Tenchi, Goku, and Yosho look to Vegeta's training grounds. Ryoko is yelling at Vegeta, who doesn't seem to care at all. They run over to see what the commotion is.
"You take that fucking back!"
"What? Bitch? Bitch, bitch, bitch, BITCH!"
"Now, what is going on here?" Goku asked.
Yamcha looks over to Goku. "Vegeta called Ryoko a bitch."
"Vegeta! That wasn't very nice!"
"Kakarot, remember that I only came because that blue-haired other bitch Bulma reprogrammed my ship's gravity chip. I need that chip, so I tagged along. I never said I would be friendly."
"No one, but NO ONE calls me names! I'll beat an apology out of you!"
Ryoko is restrained by Ayeka and Tenchi. A huge vein is throbbing in her forehead. "Calm down, Ryoko!"
Gohan places himself between the two. "This is no way to settle an argument. Ryoko! Vegeta! Why don't you just talk some things over?"
"Because the last time he did the talking, he called me a BITCH!!!"
"You were pissing me off. You called my training a trick. No one calls the training of the Prince of all Saiyans a joke! You want to take me on?! As I've said to many people before, I wouldn't recommend it. And all those who did challenge me are now 6 feet under, or even deeper! Hahahhha!"
"You want a fight? Well I'll give you one you jerk!"
"Do your best!"
Goku attempts to assuage the situations. "Now now guys, let's work this out. Vegeta, it was wrong of you to call Ryoko a bitch. Ryoko, a piece of advice. Never insult anyone's training, no matter how silly it looks. I for one value training very much, and Vegeta did a fine job. Now me and Tenchi are going to spar soon, so if you guys want to take your frustrations out on each other, then we can make it a duel or something. Only you have to power down a lot, Vegeta!"
Vegeta folds his arms up the usual way. "Why should I listen to a mere soldier talk when I am the Prince of all Saiyans!"
"Because there all no Saiyans left to be Prince of!"
"You'll pay for that, Kakarot!"
Now Ayeka was in the fray. "Now boys, there must be something that can be done. This bickering is getting on my nerves."
Yosho declares "If this is going to be a duel, we have to make it official. There's a nice little spot up by the shrine. Let's go."
At the designated spot, the warriors gather. A set a rules are set out, and before Vegeta can say "The Prince of all Saiyans doesn't follow rules", Goku tells Vegeta he must follow them. No one can kill anyone, a knock out constitutes a win. If it gets too rough, any person can call it quits.
First up is Tenchi vs. Goku.
Goku walks up to Tenchi in the center. They shake hands. "Remember Tenchi, this is just a test to see where you stand. I won't go too rough, but I want you to go as hard as you can."
"Yes sir, I'll try."
Mihoshi yells out, "Let the match begin!"
Tenchi takes out his sword containing all three of Ryoko's gems. He concentrates for a second, and then the blade of light appears, glowing a radiant blue.
Goku smiles. "Impressive. But never rely on a weapon to win you a fight. It is yourself that must wield it."
"Ahhhh!!!
Tenchi charges Goku. Bringing his sword up over his head, we prepares to strike. Seeing the attack coming a mile away, Goku doesn't even try to move. Tenchi's sword comes down with frightening speed. But as he finishes the swing, he realizes that his target isn't there anymore. Tenchi looks around frantically for Goku.
"Looking for me, hmm?"
Tenchi whirls around to see Goku floating right behind him. Tenchi brings his sword up for another strike.
"I really don't want to hurt you, Mr. Goku!"
"Trust me, Tenchi. I think you should worry about yourself!"
Tenchi's sword swings again. And again. And again. While Goku doesn't seem to be moving at all, Tenchi's sword doesn't seem to make contact. Goku zanzokens again, but Tenchi now remembers the attack. He swirls around, bringing his sword with him. Using the momentum of his turn, his sword makes a wide arc towards the appearing Goku. Instead of dodging the sword. Goku brings up his index finger on his right hand.
*Zappp!*
"What?"
The audiences ohs and ahs. Goku has caught Tenchi's sword, in similar fashion to the way he caught Trunks' sword. The pulsating energy beam has no effect on Goku's single finger.
"How can you do that?"
"Lesson one, young Tenchi. Never assume anything on your opponent. You thought that your sword would be harmful to me and therefore it would win the fight for you. You thought wrong."
Goku brings up his left hand to Tenchi's chest. Gathering a small amount of ki, Goku sends Tenchi flying back about 30 feet. He hits the unforgiving ground, hard. Ryoko is on her feet.
"Tenchi! I thought you said this wasn't a killing match!?"
"Take it easy, Ryoko. Tenchi is still very much alive. See?"
Ryoko turns back to Tenchi. He is on his feet. As his head comes back to eye level, everyone gasps. The symbol that had glowed on his head right before he had defeated Kagato was there. Next, the 3 Lighthawk Wings appear. Tenchi puts up his arms. The first two wings ride through his arms and along his body. As they pass, his body is covered with a new armor. Tenchi then reaches out and grabs the 3rd wing, which turns into a solid sword as he grabs it.
"So this is your grandson's hidden power Yosho? Let's see what it can do..."
Tenchi charges Goku once again. This time, however, Goku doesn't have enough time to react. Tenchi's sword slams into Goku with an loud thud.
"Yeowch!"
Instead of it's usual happening of severely wounding the opponent, Goku seems just a bit frazzled. He shakes his head.
"Much better Tenchi. I guess I'll have to use some of my other abilities as well!"
Goku zanzokens and appears in the air. He brings his hands at his side in a clam-like fashion.
"Ka, me, ha, me HA!!!"
Goku's signature beam (Although very suppressed at this moment) careens towards Tenchi. Tenchi quickly brings up his arms and catches the beam. The two warriors have a slight beam battle, with Goku sometimes being stronger and Tenchi sometimes moving it up.
"Aaahhh!!!"
Tenchi channels all of his lighthhawk wings off his body and into his hands. With all of it's power together, Tenchi pushes the beam back at Goku. Before Goku has time to redirect the attack, it slams into him, causing a fair sized explosion.
Chi-Chi yells up to him, "Goku!"
Tenchi returns to normal form. "I didn't mean to..."
Yosho walks up to Tenchi. "I wouldn't worry too much about Goku, Tenchi. he was suppressing a lot of his power. Just look."
The smoke where the Kamehameha detonated dissipates, revealing Goku untouched. Well, not totally untouched. His gi is slightly ripped, and there are a few burn marks on his arms and face. He flies down to Tenchi.
"Well done, Tenchi. You do indeed have incredible power. I never thought that you'd be able to block and rebound that attack, even though it was suppressed."
Tenchi looks shyly around, "Well, it wasn't that strong, was it?"
Ryoko walks up to Tenchi. "No Tenchi, it is that strong. You have amazing power."
Vegeta is rather impatient. "Now that that wimpy ass fight is over, it's time for me and you, bitch."
Ryoko grits her teeth and tightens her fists. "If it's a fight you want, Vegeta, then it's a fight you'll get."
A little bit later, as the Vegeta vs. Ryoko fight is about to begin.
Vegeta is stretching a bit. Ryoko is practicing bringing out her energy sword, and then retracting it.
Vegeta thinks: Well, she can control limited ki. It's nothing to mine, though.
Vegeta yells over to Ryoko, "I hope you're ready to be K.O.ed, bitch. I bet I won't even need to go past 10% of my full power!"
Tenchi puts a reassuring hand on Ryoko. "Don't listen to him, Ryoko. Just do your best, okay?"
"Whatever you say, Tenchi dear." She puts her own hand on Tenchi, but before she bring him in any closer he backs away.
"This isn't exactly the time for that, Ryoko..."
"Oh then what is the right time, Tenchi?"
"Never! Got it!"
Tenchi walks off to the sidelines. Ryoko gets up and teleports to the center of the field. Vegeta zanzokens to the center as well. The two give each other cold stares.
Yosho walks in the center. "Okay people, let's have this one like the last fight: clean and proper. The fight begins, now!"
Ryoko starts off. She runs up to Vegeta, who doesn't even try to move. Ryoko lets loose a furry of fists and kicks, all of which make contact. Not a single one seems to have any affect on Vegeta. Ryoko backs off a bit, and makes a side chop to Vegeta's neck. This time, Vegeta catches her arm. He laughs and tightens his grip.
"The first thing you need to know about me, woman, is that I never give mercy. Unlike Kakarot."
Vegeta tightens his grip even more. Before Ryoko or anyone in the audience can say anything, Vegeta sharply brings his arm across his body, ripping Ryoko's arm off.
"Aaaarrrgghh!!!"
Tenchi yells, "Ryoko!"
Ryoko staggers a bit. She pants and winces from the pain.
"Ah too bad. Was that your best?"
"No, Vegeta, that was not my best. Errrrr!!!"
After a bit of straining, Ryoko's arm regenerates. She is still panting from the pain. Piccolo thinks: Wow, she can regenerate like a Namek...
Vegeta doesn't seem too impressed by the arm regeneration. "Not bad, but I've fought many opponents who could regenerate. And all of them are dead now!"
Ryoko gets back into her battle stance. Concentrating a bit, she lets loose a red ki blast. The blast goes right into Vegeta. It explodes, but when the smoke clears Vegeta is still there, unphased. He smirks.
"What the hell was that suppose to be?"
Ryoko grits her teeth for the umpteenth time. "How about this then?!"
She lets loose another one of the blasts, followed by another and another in rapid concession. The many blasts detonate and detonate on Vegeta's spot. Then bringing her arms up, she creates a much bigger blast.
"Vegeta! This is for calling me a bitch!!!"
She lets the blast go flying. It detonates, shaking the entire ground. Ryoko pants and heaves. "Did I win?"
"Not by a long shot, bitch!"
Ryoko turns around to see Vegeta standing right behind her. "But how?"
He laughs, "I can move faster than your eyes could follow. I was long gone before the blasts even got to me!"
"Errrr!!"
Vegeta's face suddenly becomes more menacing. "You've been the one doing all of the attacking. Now it's my turn!"
He knees Ryoko right in the stomach. She gasps out blood. This time, before anyone can say anything Ryoko is sent hurtling up in the air by a drop kick by Vegeta. She goes unchecked for a ways before Vegeta zanzokens above her. Reaching back he punches her in the gut again, sending her back to the earth. She careens into the ground, leaving a sizable crater. She doesn't move.
"Oh no! Ryoko!"
Vegeta flies down to the fallen woman. He picks her up by her shirt collar. He shakes her a bit, and she comes to.
"You weren't even a challenge to me. It's scum like you who give warriors like me a bad name!"
"You monster..."
"Monster? No, I'm the devil! Hahhaaahha!!!'
Vegeta laughs evilly. "And you want to hear the best part of all this? Well here it is. I'm only here because I need Bulma to reprogram the gravity chip. Once that's done I can continue my training properly. And in a year or so, two androids will appear to ravage the world. Thanks to my repeated trainings, I will easily dispatch the androids. After that I'll kill Kakarot, proving I am the strongest Saiyan. Then I'll have to gain immortality with the Dragonballs. After that, this planet will have no more use for me. I'll destroy you, the planet, and even your beloved Tenchi! What do you think of that, bitch!!! Hahhahhahaa!!!"
"That man is insane..."
"Your right, Gohan. This is pushy, even for Vegeta. I think I'll tell him to quit it now..."
Ryoko turns to face Vegeta. "You... ...hurt... ...Tenchi? Never..."
Vegeta still laughs. "What? You going to stop me?"
She looks up at him. "Yes."
"Huh?"
Ryoko's body begins to glow. On her neck, right wrist and left wrist, a little spot begins to glow.
Washu looks amazed. "Incredible! I thought that the gems were moved to Tenchi's sword! Ryoko's body must have had the power in her the whole time!"
Ryoko's forehead begins to glow as well. As it comes into focus, a ring consisting of 10 marks appears. Now, her whole body glows. Vegeta let's go of Ryoko, but she still hangs in the air.
She looks blandly at Vegeta. "I will never let anyone harm Tenchi."
A glowing shield appears in front of her, followed by another and another. They all come into place, forming a circle around her body. It is the 10th one that completes the circle.
Washu is nearly tearing her hair out. "I don't believe this!!! She has reached full power!!! 10 Lighthawk Wings!!!"
Yosho turns sharply to Washu. "But we relocated all of her gems. How is this possible?!"
Washu smirks. "I built her, remember? Her full power was always there, it was just the gems that brought it out. Now she has tapped into it again. She now rivals Tsunami!"
Vegeta watches the figure of Ryoko. "So this is your true power, eh? Then it will be much more fun."
Ryoko just keeps on staring at Vegeta.
"Cat got your tongue? Here... ...this should loosen it up!"
Vegeta fires a ki blast at Ryoko. Before it can reach her, one of the wings shifts and absorbs the blast.
"What?"
Ryoko now speaks, her voice loud and clear. "Vegeta! You told me that you would bring harm upon the only one I have ever loved! I cannot allow it to happen!"
"Uhhh... ...what are you doing?."
Ryoko brings her arms and legs straight out. One of the Lighthhawk wings goes on each arm and leg. Two more create a side of her body armor on her chest and stomach. Another one comes up over her chest, creating a Ginyu force styled (Although much cooler looking, with stronger looking metal) battle armor. She brings out two of arms and catches two more lighthawk wings, creating two little sticks (A light saber handle). She brings the two together, and each end shoots out a double edged lightsaber (Like Darth Maul). She has one lighthawk wing on each limb, plus three on her torso and two for her weapon. The final Lighthawk wing comes up to her face. Her face passes through and the wing rides through it and along her hair. After it passes, her hair becomes longer and golden colored instead of bluish grey. And when she looks up, her eyes are turquoise instead of amber.
Vegeta takes a step back. "She... ...she's a Super Saiyan!!!"
NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z AND TENCHI MUYO:
"Hey, this is Goku! Is Ryoko truly a Super Saiyan? How could it be so? And even if she is, will Vegeta still be her match? Be sure to see the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z and Tenchi Muyo to answer all of your questions!"
Chapter 4 - Saiyans, Nameks, and Jurains . Oh my.
Mihoshi: It's unquestionably a revealing episode!
Another chapter put fairly fast. I would like to say that the chapters are getting bigger and taking a longer time. In the future it may take much longer to put up a chapter. Anyway, you know the drill. If you read it, please review it!
