I decided to take a study break and work some more on the story. I really wanted to finish up this chapter. Hope you like it. ~ ladymoonlight
The assorted group of warriors, divine beings, and humans gasped as the Ginyu Force made a spectacular landing in the courtyard behind Capsule Corp. Performing a series of moves that would have put Sailor Moon to shame, the group stood ready to fight.
Goten turned to Trunks, a confused look on his face.
"Trunks. Who are the funny ballerinas?"
"I don't know, Goten. But they make the Great Saiyaman look good."
"The great what?" asked Gohan, slightly confused.
Trunks and Goten didn't get a chance to reply. The alien who seemed to be the leader stepped forward.
"I'm Captain Ginyu," he sneered.
"And I'm Baata!" cried the large blue alien.
"Jeice!" shouted the red-skinned creature.
"Recoome!" stated the red-haired alien.
"Guldo!" yelled the short, green being.
"And we're the.....GINYU FORCE!" they screamed simultaneously.
The team ended their speech with a stunning pose.
"Yeah....." trailed off Goten.
"Sure....." stated Trunks.
They exchanged strange looks.
"Do you dare mock the incredible power of the Ginyu Force?" bellowed Captain Ginyu.
"No...." replied Goten.
"We outright laugh," finished Trunks.
"You arrogant little...." growled Jeice.
Captain Ginyu held up his hand to silence his minion.
"Forget them. What have we here, boys?" he asked, motioning towards the Saiyans.
"It's the Monkey Freaks!" laughed Baata.
"Ah, and their mighty Prince Vegeta," jeered Guldo.
Vegeta clenched his fists and growled menacingly, baring his teeth. Nappa and Radditz shifted into fighting stances.
"Who let you out of your cages?" snickered Jeice.
The group of aliens laughed hysterically.
"Shut up you jerk!" shouted Trunks.
He slammed full force into Jeice, knocking the larger being down. Screaming, he began to pound into the alien. Recoome kicked Trunks fiercely. The small boy rolled backwards and landed with a thump. Goten hurried to his side. Trunks sat up, clenching his ribs.
Bulma let out a scream and lunged at the group of aliens. Yamcha and Krillian grabbed her and forced her back.
"Calm down," whispered Yamcha.
"Leave him alone, you jerks!" she screeched hoarsely.
Captain Ginyu leered at her.
"Looks like the Earth woman wants to play," he commented wryly.
The aliens laughed mercilessly. The other warriors, including Vegeta, Nappa and Radditz, moved in between the struggling Bulma and the mercenaries.
Goten helped Trunks to his feet.
"You OK?" he whispered.
"Yeah," replied Trunks, still nursing his side.
A hand grabbed his shoulder roughly.
"Leave the fighting to us, weakling," growled Vegeta, shoving him backwards behind the group.
Trunks landed on his rear. Bulma squirmed out of Yamcha and Krillian's grasp and ran to him. She bent down beside him and threw her arms around him, pulling him to her protectively.
Goten turned to face the Ginyu Force. Scowling, he dropped down into a fighting stance.
"Hey, the little runt wants to play," sneered Guldo.
Captain Ginyu smirked.
"Bring it on, brat," he hissed.
Goten blurred out of sight and reappeared right in front of the alien's face. A swift kick to the head sent Captain Ginyu flying backwards. Baata flew towards Goten, taking him off guard. He began to mercilessly punch the child in the stomach.
Trunks pulled free of Bulma's grasp and lunged towards the alien. He jerked to a stop. He writhed frantically, but he was stuck mid-air. Guldo laughed at the child, whom he had pinned through the use of telekinetic powers. At least until Vegeta charged into him. Knocked over by the Saiyan Prince, the alien lost his concentration. Trunks fell the ground with a thud, but quickly recovered and resumed his attack on Baata. The lavender-haired boy kneed the alien in the crotch, forcing him to double over and back off.
Goten scrambled to his feet, standing beside Trunks. His friend spun towards the Earth warriors.
"Don't just stand there! Fight!" ordered Trunks, sounding very exasperated.
The Saiyans were the first to go into action. Nappa and Radditz quickly moved in to aid Vegeta with Guldo. The trio were successfully pounding the short alien when he suddenly phased out of sight. Suddenly, the three were thrown backwards by an incredible unseen force. The same thing happened to Trunks and Goten. Guldo reappeared, gasping for breath.
Trunks sat dazed for a moment. His eyes narrowed as he remembered something his father had told him.
"That's right. You can stop time," he addressed the panting Guldo.
The alien grinned wickedly but did not reply.
Trunks staggered to his feet and began to gather a ki attack. He was interrupted by Recoome smashing his fist into the boy's face.
"You jerk! Back off!" Trunks screamed, infuriated.
The boy spun towards his new enemy, only to find himself once again suspended by telekinetic force. Screaming in fury, the boy swung helplessly at Recoome who hovered just out of reach. Trunks heard a familiar attack.
"Kamehameha!" screamed Goku and Gohan simultaneously.
The double ki blast plowed into Guldo, freeing Trunks from his hold. Recoome was unable to dodge as the boy quickly kicked his mocker. The child began to ruthlessly attack the alien.
Meanwhile, Yamcha and Krillian had joined Goten in facing off Baata, who was taking advantage of his super-speed. The alien was constantly darting about, weaving through the warriors, and inflicting as much damage as possible. He was slowed down considerably as he came in contact with Nappa's fist; Baata had been too busy taunting Yamcha to realize the bald Saiyan had snuck up behind him.
Guldo was being subjected to his own move. Choatzu was telekinetically holding him in place while Tien efficiently pounded into him.
Vegeta and Radditz had squared off against Jeice. A Big Bang Attack had done considerable damage to the red-skinned alien. The pair were successfully beating the other foreigner unconscious.
Captain Ginyu was surveying the fight, scowling at how poorly his warriors were doing. A bunch of pathetic humans shouldn't be this hard to beat. His attention moved away from the fighting as Goku and Piccolo stepped in front of him. The alien smirked and eased into a fighting position. The earth warriors returned in like. Trunks saw the impending fight out of the corner of his eye.
"Goku-san! Be careful!" he shouted, pausing momentarily from beating Recoome senseless. "Captain Ginyu can change bodies with other people!"
The alien snarled at the child. He didn't know how the brat could have known about that.
"So much for your little trick," commented Piccolo, smirking.
With a yell, both Namek and Saiyan charged at the purple alien. He was able to fend them off for the most part, but he knew without a surprise attack with his secret weapon he was seriously hindered. Things only got worse as Gohan joined the fray. Ginyu spun around at his newest opponent, slamming his fist deep into the child's stomach. Gohan gasped as the air rushed out of his lungs and his collapsed to the ground. Goku let out an enraged scream and renewed his attacks on his opponent.
"How...dare...you...hurt...my...son!" he shouted, putting all of his energy in his punches.
Piccolo gasped as for a brief moment Goku's hair flickered gold.
Captain Ginyu staggered backwards, vainly trying to escape the attacks. But Goku seemed to be everywhere at once. Fists and legs flew at the alien relentlessly.
The tall Saiyan paused to catch his breath, towering over Captain Ginyu who had been forced to his knees. The rest of the Ginyu Force had been beaten into submission.
"Please," whimpered Captain Ginyu. "Have mercy."
The other members let out pitiful moans also, whimpering before the other warriors.
"Leave," hissed Goku.
"What? You're going to let them get away? Kakkarot, you idiot! Finish them!" screamed Vegeta, thoroughly enraged.
"No. They aren't worth the energy," growled the older Saiyan.
"Thank you," whispered Ginyu pathetically, groveling before Goku.
Nappa spit at Jeice, who flinched, before turning away. Vegeta gave the crumpled warrior one last kick and followed after Nappa. The other warriors also turned back, heading towards Capsule Corp.
"It's over," whispered Bulma to a shivering Chi Chi, whom she was holding in her arms.
Chi Chi let out a strangled cry of relief.
Goten and Trunks were the last to turn away from the mercenaries. Facing the other way, they did not see the smirk that formed across Captain Ginyu's face. Standing up, the entire Ginyu force prepared an attack.
"Look out behind you!" screeched Bulma, pointing frantically towards the group of aliens.
Trunks and Goten spun back around.
"You should have left while you had the chance," snarled the older child.
The two boys gathered their kis, forming them into balls of fiery energy in their hands. The Ginyu Force lost their concentration as their scouters shattered in front of their eyes.
Screaming in unison, Trunks and Goten released their combined attack. Already weakened by the earlier fight, the Ginyu Force didn't have a chance. Jeice, Baata, Recoome and Guldo were destroyed on impact. Captain Ginyu was mauled beyond hope. He lay on the grass, staring up at the blue sky.
Vegeta approached the fallen warrior. He snorted as he looked down at the alien.
"Pathetic. Beaten by mere children," the Prince sneered.
Captain Ginyu laughed mirthlessly, coughing up blood as he did so.
"At least I wasn't out done by one of the proud Saiyan race," he jeered.
For a moment a look of outrage flickered across Vegeta's face. It was quickly replaced with a wicked grin.
"That child who just defeated you is the son of that fool over there," explained Vegeta, motioning between Goten and Goku. "And that fool is a full-blooded Saiyan."
Captain Ginyu's eyes widened.
"That's right," snickered Vegeta maliciously. "Have a nice stay in Hell."
With those words, the Prince released a ki blast and finished off the last of the Ginyu Force.
Bulma and Chi Chi paused for only a moment before rushing forward and embracing their children.
"Trunks-kun! Are you OK?"
"Gohan-kun! Goten-kun!"
All three children tried desperately to escape their mothers' grasps.
"Don't worry, Mom. We're fine," answered Gohan.
The three boys managed to pull away. They smiled at one another, excited about their victory.
"Amazing," stated Krillian, studying the two older boys.
"You two sure are impressive," added Yamcha.
Goten blushed and Trunks shrugged.
"No biggie," he replied.
Goku walked over and gave all three children congratulatory hugs. Then he turned to Vegeta, Nappa and Radditz.
"Thanks for the help," he told them.
"Don't get too sentimental," stated Vegeta. "It was only this once. You won't have our help again."
"If you say so," said Goku, laughing slightly.
Vegeta snorted and set off towards the wilderness, Nappa close behind. Radditz strayed for a moment.
"You're not too bad, little brother," he comment, a slight hint of admiration in his voice.
Without another word, Radditz flew off to rejoin his comrades.
The assorted group of warriors, divine beings, and humans gasped as the Ginyu Force made a spectacular landing in the courtyard behind Capsule Corp. Performing a series of moves that would have put Sailor Moon to shame, the group stood ready to fight.
