The Coal Saga: Chapter 4
(All characters except the ones I made up are from DBZ, in other words don't sue me. I'm just writing a fanfic here.)
A woman and a little girl ran through the streets of their home city, fearing for their lives as a creature that was unknown to them attempted to chase them down.
"Why do you run! It only makes it more fun for me!" yelled Coal in insanity as he was letting the two start to pull away from him, as to make them think they may be safe. After a short while, when they had lost sight of the creature the woman picked her crying daughter up, trying to calm her. As she patted her on the back she gazed around the empty streets of her town. Her family, friends, as well as everyone she once knew were gone, destroyed by this creature. She made quiet sounds of reassurence, trying to convince her daughter that everything was going to be alright, but she herself knew that not to be true.
Her eyes shifted suddenly as she saw a shadow move by her. Her body was visibly shaking, as she began to pat her daughter's back more rapidly, to the point where it was hurting. And the moment the girl cried out in pain that was the moment that Coal chose to strike the two helpless civilians. In a quick instant the monster was running at full speed at them, his cold stare was met with a look of horror as he prepared to devour them to.
The woman screamed as everything for a moment went dark for her. Though when she opened her eyes she was still alive and standing there. Though there was a man standing in front of her. He wore a orange fighting gi with a blue shirt under it. This man was Goku.
"Are you alright?" he asked without turning around, keeping his eyes on the slowly arising Coal at all times. She breathed a yes, and quickly started to run away, not wanting to have to face that creature again.
Little by little Sapphire, Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, Vegita, and Trunx landed on the scene to do battle with this horrible beast. Though after a few moments two more arrivals landed with them, and these two were unexpected.
"Is that him?" asked Jade as she walked over next to Goku.
"Its hidious!" exclaimed Bulma as she watched Coal give them all a death glare for ruining his fun. In the back of both of the women's minds was the realization that this is the way the Cell they knew first looked when he was able to make conscience thought. Now though they would never allow themselves to admit such a thing, for to them, this creature was their enemy.
"Well it seems the party's all here. I hope you're ready Goku, because this time I will have no mercy, therefore have no problem destroying you on the spot." Coal said with a menacing growl. This did not seem to have the desired effect that he wanted, as it only enraged the daughter of Cell.
"Let my father go!" screamed Sapphire, as she charged at him with a surge of emotion. Her hair immediatly powering up to Super Saiyan-jin 2.
"Sapphire!" screamed Jade, as she watched her only daughter fly straight at the monster, bloodlust in her eyes.
"Hm hm hm hm." evily laughed the tyrant as the determination that Sapphire put out was immedietely crushed as he easily caughter her outstretched fist. The girl slowly opened her eyes to see the face of her enemy was no longer that of a beast, but of the exact likeness of her father. He had reverted back to his perfect form. Without a word, Coal simply tossed her back in the crowd.
"Quite a temper you have little girl. But I would expect no less from the offspring of Cell." he mused, as his eyes played over the group again, watching as they stared at him in horror.
"So are you scared now? Do fear that you will die this day? Do you fear that I will destroy this world that you have worked so hard to protect?" asked Coal rhetorically, his attention placed on Goku. Goku on the otherhand was speechless, he had no idea what to do, or how to beat him. He only had one day of practice since his last battle with Coal, and knew that it would never be enough.
"You.....you monster! I hate you! I hate you!!" Jade screamed as she glared menacingly at him, looking away from treating her fallen daughter for a moment.
"Oh, just harsh words from such a pretty lady. To bad that you have nothing to backup such things. Anyway I'm getting tired of this talking. So how bought we just go ahead and decide the fate of the world now ok?" Coal almost said playfully. This seemed to make Goku get a thoughtful look.
"We'll fight you under one conditon...."
"That we do it in a deserted area? You should know Goku that part of you is in Cell, and now Cell is part of me. Therefore I know everything you are thinking, and are going to do. And in light of this, I will comply with you proposition. Since I know how helpless you are." Coal stated, and in a burst of energy flew off into the sky, leaving the Z-warriors with a stunned look.
"Well c'mon!" screamed Jade with a level of initiative that she had never known herself. And in an instant she flew after Coal in hot pursuit.
"You heard the woman! Stop staring and lets move it Kakkarot!" Vegita said, and instantly flew after her, followed by Trunx, Goten, and Gohan. Piccolo, still standing there, gazed at the almost frightened looking Goku.
"He's can't be invincible Goku. He has a weakness, we just need to find it."
"I just...I just don't know...."
"Hey you guys! They are getting away! So one of you better pick me up and follow them!" screamed Bulma, cutting in.
"Your right, this is no time for fear. Lets go." he stated and picked up Bulma, and with Piccolo behind him, followed after the group.
After a short flight the group landed in what looked like a desert. Rocky cliffs surrounded them on all sides, as if saying that no one could escape the battle they were about to enter. Every fighter stood in a makeshift circle around Coal. He, in utter confidence stood in the middle with his arms crossed.
"C'mon! I'll take you all on at once!" he yelled and Coal's hair turned immediately into that of a Super Saiyan. Everyone around him instantly stood in a fighting stance, ready to fight him with full force.
"Stand back mom this could get ugly." said Sapphire demandingly, gesturing with her hand for her mother to move back.
"You to." added Trunx, motioning a hand as well. The two women obeyed their children, seeing the look of determination in their eyes. Everyone after that turned their full attention on Coal.
"You wanted a fight Coal! Your going to get it!" screamed Sapphire at the top of her lungs, and with a flare of power the daughter of Cell sprinted straight at the creature she detested.
Coal laughed and prepared to take the pint sized fighter on full force. Though he was momentarily distracted as Trunx flew from an opposite side for an attack. With a quick movement he blocked both fighters.
"Nice try! But try again!"
They answered this as Piccolo, Goku, Goten, and Gohan attacked simultaneously, flying full force at Coal. Coal meanwhile charged up two Ki blasts in both hands ready to take them all out at once. Though the moment they would make contact, all four flew straight up in the air, while Trunx and Sapphire appeared out of nowhere to hit him simultaneously in the back and stomach. In a surge of anger Coal violently hit the two away, flying straight up to where the other fighters were floating, where they had been watching their small plan in action. Though they didn't expect to flare Coal's anger so, and didn't expect him to come chasing after them.
"How dare you lay a finger on me!" he screamed in utter outrage, as he charged at Goku in particular. Goku smirked as he realized that Coal did have a weakness after all, he let his anger get the best of him. Coal made a wild punch at Goku, and missed entirely, and with the moment of opportunity Coal was kneed in the stomach, and a double-fisted slam was connected that sent him rocketing towards the ground.
"Yeah all right!" said Gohan happily, realized that maybe this wasn't hopeless. Though the moment before Coal made impact with the ground he stopped himself, and floated to a standing position.
"Do you think that display of luck would take me down! I think not!" he said laughing maniacally and flew straight at the four again.
"Gohan watch out!" yelled Piccolo, seeing Coal heading straight for him. Though before Coal hit him, Goten interluded and knocked him off his balance. This attack was immediately followed by two consecutive kicks coming from Sapphire and Trunx as they flew by him, connecting on his stomach and face. And to finish off the attack, Piccolo and Goku charged at him to attempt to slam him down to the ground again. Though there attack never connected.
"You SCUM!" he screamed outraged, as he suddenly burst back to life, grabbing both Goku and Piccolo by the heads and slamming them together. In the next instant he swept his arm behind him catching both Gohan and Goten in the faces, causing to fall to the ground. His gaze immediately turned to Trunx and Sapphire as they, refusing to let what they just saw scare them, charged at him.
"So won't give up eh?! Thats the way to fight!!" he laughed maniacally as he charged straight at them as well. The three collided, and when the smoke from the clash of energy subsided, Trunx and Sapphire were both heading towards the ground, joining the rest of their friends. Coal looked down seeing everyone that had attacked him were now face down on the ground, but as he began to count them in his head he realized that one was missing.
"Here I am!" yelled Vegita from behind him and hit him hard in the back of the head. This though only caused Coal to get mad, and in a swift movement grabbed Vegita, and made him join the others in the dirt. After a short pause to make sure he had beaten everyone, Coal slowly flew down to the ground, watching as everyone slowly got to their feet. All feeing a bit woozy from what they just had experienced. Coal on the otherhand was having the time of his life, only wanting them all to try it again.
Bulma watched the scene in horror, starting to realize maybe Goku was right when he had protested against her and Jade coming at all. But he was unable to win since Bulma insisted that she hold onto the senzu beans in case Coal tried to take them away from one of the fighters.
"Besides, many people I care about will be there." she had said to him. And thus he had been unable to refuse. Jade on the other hand didn't even ask to go. She demanded that she attend, not fearing for her own life anymore. And as Bulma turned to look at her, she realized how true that was.
Jade was not afraid at all. Her whole body shivered in anticipation as she watched her friends and daughter being viciously beaten on by this monster. She tightened her fists as she almost wanted to get and there and make him pay. But in her mind the part of her that was against all forms of fighting would not allow her to act. Therefore she stood there, animated by her anticipation.
Meanwhile Coal watched as the group of fighters congragated in one area, seemingly ready to try again to defeat him.
"What now! Are you all going to charge at me at once or something?" he asked playfully. Though his playful atmosphere dissapeard as he watched Goten, Goku, Gohan, and Sapphire take a familiar stance to him. As well Trunx and Vegita had flown into the air, also taking a stance known to him. Finally Piccolo stood on the ground as well, holding two fingers against his forehead in concentration.
"Hm." Coal simply stated as he watched the fire in everyone's eyes, as a huge amount of energy was being generated, all directed at him. The power generated slowly grew, as the stationary Coal looked as if he had no plan to dodge at all.
"KAAAA-MEEEE-HAAAA..." started Goten, Goku, Gohan, and Sapphire in unison. All four standing side by side, their hands by their sides preparing the blast.
"FINAL...." started Vegita and Trunx, their body's outstretched to form two X's in the sky.
"SPECIAL BEAM...." also started Piccolo, his fingers still on his forehead.
"MEEEE-HAAAAA!!!"
"FLASH!!!"
"CANNON!!!"
Bulma and Jade covered their eyes as a blast big enough to destroy an entire galaxy hurtled at Coal. So powerful, that if anyone were to touch it, they would be instantly vaporized. Everyone closed their eyes as a giant explosion occured. The enertia was so great that it was causing Bulma to be thrown off her center of gravity, only not flying away because of Jade holding on to her.
Everyone watched the place where Coal had been standing in hopes that their attack had at least weakened Coal. But as they almost all knew, Coal stood there, completely unharmed. His hair had shifted to that of a Super Saiyan-jin 2. A cold smile curled his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest, his aura flaring a bit, as he could feel his superiority.
Goku almost fels himself slump to the ground, as he, his sons, and Sapphire stood there, still in their Kamehameha poses. Not believing that all that power had not been enough to even scratch him. Trunx and Vegita also landed on the ground, both silent.
Near them, Jade started to breath very heavily as she could feel her anger starting to well up inside of her. She gripped her fists so tights, a small trickle of purple blood fell down her hand, as her own nails pierced her skin.
"He's to powerful....." she muttered to herself.
"He's to powerful with Cell....Wait....Thats it!"
"Goku! You have to seperate him and Cell! Thats the only way!" she screamed suddenly to Goku.
"But how!?" he yelled back.
"I...I don't know..." she whimpered in anger and confusion.
"I don't know..."
Suddenly they all felt a massive power eminating out of one of them. Everyone eyes searched frantically to see who was causing it, and their eyes rested on Sapphire. She was vibrating with energy, just as her mother was a few moments before. Though unlike her, she was also crackling with energy.
"I know how we'll do it...." she started slowly, as she began to step forward.
"I'll seperate them even if I have to rip them apart!" she screamed as her aura flared menacingly, as her steps started bringing her to the direction of Coal.
