Brilliant dawn. Five and a half hours ago, no one could have imagined what would happen on
Earth at noon that day. If one were to look up in the sky, they might see eight bright balls of light
flying through the sky toward the ZumiZubi Mountains. And for a moment, they might just see
the last hope for the planet zoom off into the clouds, possibly for the last time.
Gohan squinted as the Earth's heroes approached the mountains. He couldn't feel Gojitto, nor did
he see any signs of life. The ZumiZubi mountains were mostly ice, and Gohan remembered that he
had once fought some robots there with his father when he was younger. But now was not the
time to reminisce now was the time for action. Gojitto would make himself known when the
time was right.
And he did. A second later, a blaze of red light erupted from a nearby island. the heroes froze in
mid-flight and Gohan shuddered as he realized how intense this fight was going to be. He looked
at Pan. He should never have brought her along. He was endangering her life, and he had no one
to blame but himself. He couldn't send her back to the Lookout now, because he knew Pan
wouldn't listen. It was true Pan had gained an excessive amount of power from their training,
but it still wasn't enough to make any difference. Gohan sighed.
Piccolo shouted at the others. "Okay! There he is! Let's go!" The other fighters obliged quickly
and followed Gohan and Piccolo down to the island where their adversary stood.
Gojitto was stone, his waxing grin a monarch to his evil. The fact filled Gohan with an incredible
loathing for his enemy, despite that half of him was Gohan's own father. Gohan grimaced. He
started to move forward, but Vegeta heeded him not to go a step further. Then Gojitto finally
spoke.
"Well! So you've all come! Earth's greatest forces have arrived to put a stop to my power! I must
admit, I've been speculating for some time over what sorts of tricks you might have up your
sleeves. Now I'll get to see firsthand."
The heroes remained silent. "Well?" shouted Gojitto. "Who will be first?"
Piccolo turned to look at Gohan. He hadn't said a word since they had arrived. Now, as the
others watched, he took a step forward. Gojitto's smile grew wider. "Gohan. I expected that. But
this is what I wish. You are the strongest of them all."
"Shut up and fight," grunted the half-Saiyan, his hair lengthening and his body crackling with
electricity as he made the transition to Mystic 2.
He charged, ramming his fist at Gojitto's face, going on the rebound as Gojitto warped behind
him and swung his own fist into the half-Saiyan's face. Gohan ducked and buried his hands into
Gojitto's chest, knocking him silly. Gojitto changed to Super Saiyan 3 and jammed his leg into
Gohan's gut, knocking him backward. Gohan sprang up, spinning his legs at Gojitto's head,
causing the fusion to emit a shrill yell as he toppled over the rim of the island and fell into the icy
waters below. And Gohan was above the waters, raining down with ki blast after ki blast, never
stopping, only wanting to rid himself of the plague that threatened his world. But no, Gojitto
refused to die, his body blowing through Gohan's techniques and ramming into the Saiyan
himself, tossing his limp body to the icy ground. Pan cried out, but Gojitto wouldn't stop there,
jutting his foot into the frail Gohan's side over and over again, blood spilling from the warrior's
side.
"DADDY!!" screamed Pan. Gohan leapt up.
"A ruse!" shouted Gojitto in awe as Gohan shoved his boot into Gojitto's face, sending him to the
ground. In an instant, he was up again, and the two began grappling, zipping across the icy plains,
battling with all their might. Gojitto punched and kicked, but Gohan managed to evade the
fusion's attempts. He screamed and flared up, grabbing Gojitto's shoulders and rocketing into the
sky. Suddenly, Gohan turned upside down and flew head-on into the icy ground with Gojitto's
body as a shield. Gojitto screamed with faked pain as the impact ripped open a huge hole in the
ice, blowing chunks of glacier into the air. Vegeta stared in shock. Had Gohan won?
Silence filled the air. pan sniffled. Was her father even alive? What was happening?
Then she heard it. A man's shriek, and then a figure thrown out of the crater and crashing on the
ground, unmoving. Gohan. Pan cried and ran forward, but Trunks held her back. She buried her
face in his shirt. The reckless fusion emerged from the debris, landing next to Gohan's limp body.
He grabbed Gohan by the shirt and lifted him up, examining the man's face, and then tossed the
rag doll into the ocean. Pan screamed.
Vegeta flared up to Super Saiyan 3 and darted forward, smacking into Gojitto. The fusion
grabbed Vegeta by his hair, whipping his body into the ground, smashing away rock and leaving
the Super Saiyan lying on the ground. Gojitto laughed and spit on his opponent's glove. Trunks
glared. He looked at Goten, and his friend nodded. They stepped forward, attracting Gojitto's
attention away from Vegeta.
"Okay! Goten, let's do this!" shouted Trunks.
"Right!" agreed Goten.
The two stepped away from each other and began moving in sync, like a dance. Gojitto smirked at
the pitiful attempt at a fusion. As the bright light engulfed them, a tall, powerful figure appeared.
Gotenks, the Super Saiyan 3 fusion of Goten and Trunks. Gojitto nodded, then motioned for them
to attack. Gotenks leered at his villainous adversary and jetted forward, slamming into Gojitto
with his legs and administering blow after blow to the smug Saiyan fusion. Gojitto caught a firm
hold of Gotenks' right leg and punched him in the crotch.
"AHAHAHAHAH!!" shouted Gotenks, running about and dragging his butt along the ground like
a dog. Pan lowered her head in embarrassment. Piccolo sweatdropped.
"Dammit! You can do better than that, fools!" shouted Gojitto, giving Gotenks an uppercut and
knocking him to the ground senseless. Piccolo's eyes sprang open in shock; he was amazed that
the Super Saiyan 3 fusion had lost so easily. Then again, Goten and Trunks hadn't been training
for quite a long time.
Gojitto flew forward and landed inches from Piccolo's face. "Your four are the only ones left," he
acknowledged, looking from Pan to Tenshinhan to Ubuu and then over to Piccolo.
"If you want to fight someone, then you can fight me," said Piccolo, spitting at Gojitto. Even if he
stood no chance, he could still buy Gotenks some time to wake up and maybe fight back. Piccolo
was willing to self-destruct if it came down to that. He cared for his friends too much to let them
die.
"Wait. One left," groaned Vegeta as he stumbled blindly to his feet, reclaiming his Super Saiyan 3
status. Gojitto chuckled. "Why do you believe you can win, Vegeta?"
Vegeta smirked. "It's time."
Gojitto seemed confused for a moment, but then he discovered what Vegeta meant. Suddenly, he
felt as though his whole body was losing power. his essence was being pulled from him, and he
could hardly move. He sweated, groaned, pulled with all his might, but his power had left him.
The others stared in shock at the black-haired fusion standing before them.
"Super Saiyan 3 is only good for five minutes," laughed Vegeta, his long hair swaying in the wind.
"It will take you some time to gain up the necessary power to become that strong again.
Meanwhile..." Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan 4, "we can have ourselves a little fun."
Gojitto lurched back in horror as Vegeta attacked the fusion viciously, striking him with all of his
power, breaking his bones and shattering whatever dignity he had. Gojitto fell to the ground,
wide-eyed, over his superior, Vegeta.
Vegeta tossed the fusion on his back and began ramming his fists into Gojitto's chest. Gojitto
coughed and wheezed as blood spilled from his mouth, but Vegeta was unwilling to stop. He
continued to pummel his enemy, sparing no expense in killing the weakling. He laughed in
Gojitto's face. "How do you like it now that you're the weaker of the two? You were a fool to
not realize the limits of Super Saiyan 3, and you shall pay for it with your life!"
Gojitto tried to bring his fingers up to his forehead, but Vegeta grabbed his hand and tossed the
fusion into an icewall. "I won't give you the chance to run away this time!"
Gotenks sat up and looked around. Piccolo, Pan, Ubuu and Tenshinhan were staring at
something. Gotenks turned to see Vegeta beating on the weakened Gojitto. He smiled. "So, it
seems as though Gojitto has lost his power." Suddenly, his mind snapped back to Gohan. He shot
into the air, flying into the icy cold waters and emerging a second later with the unmoving body of
the half-Saiyan. Pan ran over to him, throwing her arms across Gohan's chest and crying. Gohan
didn't move.
Vegeta lifted Gojitto by his shirt and drove his fist across Gojitto's face, creating a large red welt
on Gojitto's cheek. Gojitto shouted out in pain and tumbled backward, falling on his back. He
looked up at the menacing Vegeta, a curled smile on his Saiyan lips. He licked them, then thrust
his arm into Gojitto's chest. It emerged through the other side, and the spectators cried out in
awe. Vegeta reared back, and let Gojitto collapse to the ground. he cried out, pain stabbing into
his chest.
Vegeta sneered. "How does it feel to lose, Gojitto? How does it feel to taste defeat at the hands
of the mightiest being in the galaxy?"
Gojitto groaned. He needed to recover, or else he was dead for sure. He lifted his head and
looked around with blurred vision. Piccolo. Pan. Ubuu. Tenshinhan. Gohan. Gotenks. If only he
had some time...
He stood up, clutching his chest, and darted up into the sky. Vegeta stared in confusion. Gojitto
scowled. "Here's your treat, kiddies... TAIYOKEN!!"
A burst of light engulfed the heroes, blinding them with radiance. Vegeta yelled and stepped
backwards, swinging his arms about wildly. Gojitto swooped in, landing next to Gotenks and
grabbing his head.
"WHA--" shouted Gotenks as Gojitto thrust one of his earrings on Gotenks' left ear. A loud
explosion echoed through the chasm, and when the Taiyoken's powers wore off, one man stood.
Vegeta stared in awe. In front of him stood a new fusion, with long golden hair and a younger
face.
The fusion laughed as Vegeta backed off in horror. "I am Gojitenks."
Vegeta stared. "My... my son..."
He screamed and ran at the fusion, swinging his fist at Gojitenks. The fusion ducked easily, and
jutted his right hand into Vegeta's chest. Vegeta winced and stumbled backward, a glossy glaze
covering his eyes. He fell to his knees, blood spilling from his mouth, and collapsed, unmoving, to
the ground.
"One punch," uttered Tenshinhan in terror.
Ubuu backed away, his foot touching Gohan's dead form. Pan still lay sobbing over her father's
corpse. Piccolo was silent, pure horror on his face. All the Saiyans were dead.
Gojitenks laughed. "I can see how frightened you all are. Don't worry. I won't kill you all right
away. I want to have some fun."
Ubuu grunted and assumed a fighting stance. Tenshinhan looked at Piccolo. "Piccolo, you need to
tell Dende to wish back the others. It's our only chance."
Piccolo didn't turn to look at Tenshinhan, he was still entranced by Gojitenks' power. But he
nodded. "I will stall him as long as I can survive," continued Tenshinhan.
He ran up next to Ubuu, holding out his clenched fists. "Come on, you mother fucking bastard!
Give us everything you've got! I'll kill you!"
"I doubt that," said the grinning fusion.
Ubuu and Tenshinhan leapt into the air, firing at Gojitenks with all of their ki. Gojitenks zipped
into the air, slapping Ubuu into a mountain. Tenshinhan flew down so that he floated in between
two huge glaciers, then he started flying. Trying to move as far away as possible. Gojitenks
warped in front of him. "Leaving us, Tenshinhan?"
Tenshinhan growled. "The game's over for you, Gojitenks. Evil can never win as long as good
exists. I will continue to fight you until my dying breath."
"Tien, you fool! Don't you think I know what you're doing? Come on, I'm your friend! I've
known you for a long time, and of course what you're doing is buying time. You are hoping for
some miracle, but I can assure you that now, the time is over. You can forget about winning."
"Wha? No!" gasped Tenshinhan, floating backward a few inches.
Piccolo gathered all of his strength. "Dende..."
Back on Kami's Lookout, Dende's eyes popped open. Mr Popo and Bra looked at him. "What is
it, Dende?" asked the inquisitive Popo.
Dende gazed at the sky. "Piccolo's contacting me psychically..."
Piccolo shouted. "Dende! You must use the dragonballs to wish back everyone killed by the evil
fusion!"
"Gojitto? Now?"
"No! You must not say Gojitto! He fused with Gotenks now and he is Gojitenks! Just wish back
everyone killed by the evil fusion! Now!"
"Right! But I only have six of the seven dragonballs! I couldn't find the last one!"
Piccolo gasped. "No! You need to find the seventh ball! The fate of the universe depends on it!"
"Wait! Didn't you say you had found one?"
Piccolo froze. He reached into his pocket and pulled out Suushinchuu. "I have it! Oh no! You
need to get it!"
Pan yanked Piccolo's cape. "Give it to Ubuu! Hurry!"
Piccolo shouted to the aching figure standing on a nearby iceberg. "Ubuu! Catch!"
The Namek hurled the four-star dragonball at the boy with a sudden burst of strength. The boy
caught it and looked at it for a second. Piccolo screamed. "Hurry! warp over to Kami's Lookout
and give it to Dende! Now!"
Ubuu nodded and set his fingers on his forehead, disappearing a second later. Piccolo screamed to
Dende. "Ubuu should be there in a seco--"
A bright blue beam of light ripped through Piccolo's chest and exploded in some mountains a few
miles away. Pan screamed. The Namek solidified, falling over onto his back as blood spilled from
the hole in his gut.
Gojitenks smiled, letting the ragged body of Tenshinhan tumble from his hands to the ground. His
glare cut into Pan like a knife. He didn't even notice the sky darken. "Lost again, I see."
"You bastard! Why did you take his life?! Why?!"
"I saw you're little plan, girl. You were going to use the dragonballs to wish back Vegeta and the
others, weren't you? Well, now that Piccolo's dead, Kami's dead too, and that means that the
dragonballs cease to exist!!"
Gojitenks smirked. Pan's eyes filled with rage. "YOU RETARD!! PICCOLO ISN'T THE ONE
WHO CONTROLS THE DRAGONBALLS!! DENDE DOES!!"
"WHAT?!" shouted Gojitenks as a burst of energy ripped through the ground.
*****
Dende shouted as Ubuu appeared in front of him. "HURRY!"
Ubuu tossed Dende the dragonball and Dende set it alongside the others. "Dragon, rise up and
grant my wishes!!"
The sky turned dark and a pulsing beam of yellow energy ripped from the circle of dragonballs.
Shenlong glared from the sky down upon the small Namek. "YOU ARE ALLOWED THREE
WISHES. SPEAK NOW, SO I MAY RETURN TO MY SLUMBER."
"Dragon, please bring all of the people killed by the evil fusion back to life!!" yelled Dende.
"I CANNOT," said the dragon. "SOME OF THOSE KILLED BY THE EVIL ARE TOO
POWERFUL TO BE WISHED BACK BY MY MAGIC."
Dende cried out in shock. "Okay! Please wish back all of the people with Saiyan blood that were
killed by the evil fusion!!"
"IT IS DONE. WHAT IS YOUR NEXT WISH?"
"Please bring back all the others killed by the evil fusion!!"
"IT IS DONE. WHAT IS YOUR FINAL WISH?"
Dende scratched his chin. "Um..."
*****
"THAT LITTLE NAMEK BOY IS THE ONE WHO CONTROLS THE DRAGONBALLS?!
NO!!!" screamed Gojitenks in awe.
"I guess things were different in your dimension," Pan said as she moved backward while raw
energy surged through the Earth, reviving those who had been killed. She looked over at Piccolo.
He was still breathing, and he still lived. Thank goodness, she thought. As the young Saiyan girl
looked on, Gohan rose to his feet, a look of unkept rage in his eyes. Gojitenks stepped back in
amazement. "You... killed... me... my friends..."
He turned Super Saiyan 4. "... you will pay."
Gojitenks grinned. "You fool. Even if you have been revived by the dragon, you are no match for
me. I have absorbed Gotenks and now I am Gojitenks. I am unstoppable."
Gohan's eyes held a faint hint of metallic light. "The time is gone. You can't win."
Gohan screamed and flew forward, smashing into Gojitenks. The fusion grabbed his arm and
punched him backward, knocking the wind from him. Gohan seemed to have gained a rush of
energy, and he surged forward again, swing at Gojitenks. Gojitenks thrust his arm forward into
Gohan's face, knocking him to the ground, and followed him smashing his knee into Gohan's
chest.
Pan watched all this in awe. Suddenly, she heard a voice. Dende. "Pan, we have one wish left
from the dragon. What should we do?"
Pan screamed. "WISH THAT GOTENKS WAS SEPARATED FROM GOJITTO!!"
Gohan screamed bloody murder as Gojitto slammed his face into the ice. Despite Gohan's display
of power, he was no match for Gojitenks. The fusion laughed. "You can never win! You are
nothing!"
A blast of ki struck Gojitenks in the side, knocking him off Gohan's body. Gojitenks cursed and
looked at his hidden attacker. Vegeta.
"Fucker! If you want a fight, I'm right here!" the Saiyan shouted, firing another ki blast at
Gojitenks. The fusion swatted it aside and appeared in front of Vegeta, grabbing him by the
throat. "You weakling."
Vegeta broke free of Gojitenks' grip and fired a ki blast at his face, hitting him in the eye.
Gojitenks screamed and toppled over. Vegeta rushed forward, only to feel Gojitenks' foot ram
into his face, knocking him backward.
Gohan stumbled to his feet as Vegeta smashed into a wall of ice. He was watching horror unfold
before him. This was bloodier than anything he'd ever seen. "NOOO!!!" he shouted, striking
Gojitenks backward. The fusion regained posture and jutted his arms into Gohan's chest. Red
fluid layered the ground.
Suddenly, Gojitenks halted. He was paralyzed, his body growing stiff as a blue light surrounded
his body. Then it became a blue funnel, shooting toward the sky, engulfing Gojitenks with its
awesome power. The fusion's scream echoed through the mountains, causing the iceberg beneath
them to break. Gohan stared, then turned to his right as he watched the hole in Piccolo's chest
disappear and heard the Namek release a gasp of life.
"Oh my God! He's doing it! The wish!" shouted Pan, pointed at Gojitenks. As Gohan, Vegeta,
and Pan looked on, Gojitenks' body began to rip in half, his eyes separating, his nose spreading
out, and his body literally falling apart. Then came an explosion, throwing all of the heroes off of
the iceberg and grinding away the ground until there was nothing but a huge crater.
Gohan floated in the air, staring into the crater. Pan hovered beside her father, holding Piccolo's
groaning form. Vegeta floated on the other side of the crater with Tenshinhan draped over his
shoulder. He gritted his teeth and gazed into the epicenter at the two figures lying in the slush.
Gotenks and Gojitto. They had separated. The wish had worked. Gojitto shoved himself up so he
could support his body on his knees. Blood streamed from an open wound on his chest. His vest
was ripped to shreds, and a long red gash ran down his face. He stared at the ground. "How... it
can't be... I've come so far.... how could this have happened?"
Gohan touched down on the iceberg again with the others. Gojitto dragged himself to his feet.
Gohan cussed. "Fuck. How does this guy keep getting up?"
Gojitto peered at Gohan. "No... I will not... will not lose."
"GOHAN!!" he screamed. Gohan stared in fear. Gojitto stood upright and managed, through
much effort, to go Super Saiyan 3. "I AM DONE PLAYING GAMES!! I AM STILL MORE
POWERFUL THAN YOU, AND NOW, I WILL DESTROY THIS WORLD!!!"
"NO!!" shouted Gohan as Gojitto rocketed into the air. Vegeta gaped in awe at the fusion as he
stopped about a thousand feet in the air and spread his palms.
"THIS WHOLE PLANET WILL SUFFER!!!" Gojitto continued as a ball of ki formed around
him.
Gohan flew into the middle of the crater, stopping below the fusion. He gasped. He couldn't let
the planet die. He had to stop Gojitto once and for all!
Pan dragged the unconscious Gotenks out of the crater to over where Piccolo was just starting to
regain his composure. "Piccolo! We have to get out of here!"
"Tell me something I don't know!" he shouted, flying into the air with Pan close behind, Gotenks'
body in her arms.
They set down on a glacier about two hundred feet away from Gohan. Vegeta landed next to
them and let Tenshinhan slide to the ground. Pan looked at the human. "Is he..."
"No. Just unconscious," explained Vegeta, his eyes resting on Gohan's form.
Gohan's eyes glimmered. Now was the time to make everything right.
"NOW YOUR LIFE ENDS, SAIYAN FOOL!! PREPARE TO FEEL THE STING OF MY
ULTIMATE ATTACK!!"
"I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!!"
Gojitto twisted to the right and held his hands close together. "GY... AH... ME... HA... ME..."
Gohan grimaced. "KA... ME... HA... ME..."
"HHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"HHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!"
The two blasts collided, each fueled by the power of Saiyan blood. Both ki energies ripped apart
the land, breaking chunks of ice off of the glacier below Gohan.
"YOU CAN NEVER BEAT ME, YOU FOOL!!!" shouted Gojitto.
Slowly, Gohan's power began to fail. He wasn't strong enough to beat Gojitto! No! This wasn't
happening! He had to try harder! "YAHHHHHHHHH!!"
"DON'T TRY TO WIN, FOOL!! ONCE I OVERPOWER YOU, MY GYAHMEHAMEHA
WILL RIP RIGHT THROUGH THIS PLANET!!"
Gohan's vision began to blur. He couldn't win. His body was being pushed back toward the
crater. His mind was empty, only focusing on Gojitto. But he knew it was all over. He had lost.
"GYARIKKU-HOOOOOO!!!"
Gohan looked beside him. Vegeta floated next to him, firing a beam of energy at Gojitto's. Gohan
smiled. Maybe there was hope.
"FINISH THIS!!" screamed Vegeta.
Gohan's mind flashed back to his father's words. "You must save Earth. You are the only one."
His father was right. He was the only one. Gohan groaned as he pushed all of his strength into his
blast.
"GOJITTO!! I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO THIS
PLANET!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Gohan screamed, driving the massive ki back at
Gojitto.
"NO!! HOW COULD I BE DEFEATED BY TWO WEAK SAIYANS?!! I AM IMMORTAL!! I
AM UNSTOPPABLE!! I AM GOJITTO!!"
In a shining moment, the Earth stood still, and Gojitto was engulfed by a blazing field of light and
energy, his body rocketing off into the sky, fading from sight, the radiance of the blast never
disappearing from Gohan's view until it reached space and disintegrated, eradicating anything that
was left of Gojitto, and forever ending the fusion's reign of terror.
Gohan's body went limp and he fell into the crater below. Vegeta landed beside him and sat down
in the snow. For once, Vegeta wore a smile of pride. And then Gohan knew it was finally over.
