Dragonball: The Chill Saga
Chapter 8: Escape


"HAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Goku yelled, creating an explosion of ki, and sending rocks and
dust flying away from him. He hadn't powered up to SSJ3 for a long time, and almost forgot
about how taxing it could be. But it was the only option. Gohan had already acended to mystic
Sayia-jin, and there would be no chances taken now.
There was a bright flash of light, and when dimmed down enough to be looked at, Goku
had gone Super Saiya-jin level 3. His hair grew down to his waste, his face narrowed, and
looked more primal, and his muscles bulged out ever so slightly. With that, came a surge of
power; a feeling like no other. One of total freemdom and power.
Gohan changed to. Goku couldn't tell what it felt like, but there were a few visible
changes. His hair became darker, and more stiff. His face took on a more menacing look, whi-
ch was somewhat appropriate, considering his new allegiance. And his ki boosted upwards
dramatically.
Goku would have to be carefull in this battle. Their powers were so high that even a
slight mistake could destroy this planet. He looked at Gohan, who looked back. There was a
short wait, like always. Just to get an appropriate measure of your opponents power. Finally,
Gohan was ready, and he attacked.
His speed was incredible! He zipped behing Goku before he knew what was going on, and
one kick sent him flying high into the air. Goku tried to turn around, only to see Gohan
punch him in the head. Goku went flying again, and eventually landed in a small mountain,
completely leveling it to the ground. Just as Goku got to his feet, a small yet devastating
ki blast sent him back into the ground, shredding the top half of his gi, and almost rendering
him uncontious.
"Damn..." he managed, "I have to start taking this seriously or I'm dead. Gohan's too
powerfull an opponent to go easy on." Goku put his two fingers to his forehead, appeared
behind Gohan, and punched him with a lot of strength and speed. And Gohan caught it!
"HAHAHAHAHA! You're far too predictable father!" Gohan laughed, and with that, he
kicked his father higher into the air.

Satan stood up on shakey feet, comming out of the rubble of what was once a wall. A
brick wall. It reminded him of the time at the cell games. Of course, that was long ago. He
looked around and saw that he had been hit far away from that blue little goon, Pilaf. Now
would probably be a good time to make a getaway.
Suddenly, Satan stopped. He heard the click of a gun, and saw two men in uniforms.
They must have worked for Pilaf. One of them spoke: "By orders of pilaf, you are hearby under
arrest. Please come quietly, Satan."
"Whoa, okay, I'll go. Just put that thing down." said Satan, putting his hands up.
The guard lowered his gun. "Haha, idiot!" Satan kicked the gun from his hand, and punched
the guard in the face. The other one, who was a pompus man was caught by surprise, and while
getting out his gun, Satan leaped into the air, kicking him in the head.
"Haha, I'm the strongest man in the world! No one cna beat me, hahahahaha!"
The fat guard got up and reached for his gun. "Big mistake." he said, aiming at Satan.
"Crap!" cried Satan, and he hit the ground.
"Transform into chocolate!"
The guard with the gun was hit by a strange ray, and transformed into a bar of choc-
olate. What? A big, fat pink creature came out of the air, picked it up, and began to munch
on it.
"Mr.Buu!" cried Satan, going over to hug his savior. "Thank you thank you thank you."
"Don't hurt Satan." Buu said angrily to the other guard. He just ran.
"But wait. Why didn't you fall under Pilaf's spell?" Satan asked.
"I'm not sure. I think it's because of my magic. The Dragonballs must not have the
same sort of effect on me like everyone else. Anyways, I'm glad to see your alright."
"Yeah. But come on, we have to save Pan! She's probably being killed by that strange
alien! Come on!"
Buu didn't understand what was going on, but hi put Satan on his back and flew away.

Kiivicks had to commend himself. He was fighting a stronger opponent and doing it
very well, too. He had been fighting with Pan for about a half hour, and using every strategy
in the book, had made her waste a lot of energy, while he conserved his. But even at this
rate she was too strong, and every time she scored a hit, it just added up. Eventually, he
would drop from exauhstion.
He had just recently smashed her into the ground. Only thing was, she wasn't comming
back up. Had he killed her? No, that was impossible. Kiivicks lowered himself to the ground,
when suddenly it smashed open from under him and up came Pan, slightly irate.
"Damn!" Kiivicks cried, as he tried to avoid her attack. It was too late, she punched
him hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Before he could even catch his breath,
she began to pummel him, breaking a few bones while she was at it. Kiivicks was helpless now.
He fell to the ground limply, and above him, Pan was laughing. He had failed his mission.
Suddenly, something happened. Pan disapeared. But Kiivicks could hardly even crank
his neck, so he just lie on the hard ground. Then, a giant pink monster assalted him
"AAAAAH!" he cried in surprise, although it didn't seem hostile.
"Satan, he's hurt. I'll heal him."
"Be carefull, Mr. Buu. He's probably plotting something."
This Buu creature put his two hands above Kiivicks, worked them around, and suddenly
kiivicks' wounds and broken bones were healed! He got up.
"Thank you," he said to Buu, "And I saved your life when Pilaf wanted you executed!
You owe me!" he cried out to Satan.
"Oh. Right. Sorry."
Buu looked at the two of them, and held up a jellybean. "I don't think it'd be safe
to restore Pan to normal. At least, not yet. She's still evil."
"Well, we have to look after her. Mr.Buu, can you hang on to her?"
"Sure thing!" Buu complied. He dropped the jellybean into his pants.
"Aaargh, not there!" Satan cried.
Buu looked confused but took her out and put her in his mouth.
"What are you doing? Don't eat her!"
"Don't worry, I won't swallow. I can control my eating."
"No, you can't! You've been saying that for the past 10 years and I spent a fortune
on your food bills. Now spit her out and put her in your pocket."
Buu spit her out. "I don't have any pockets, so..." The pink creature grabbed a hold
of his stomach, pulled it out, and made a rip in it, similar to a pouch of a kangaroo, and
put Pan in. The rip then closed up.
Kiivicks let out a sigh. "Now then, would you two mind telling me what's going on?
Clearly I'm missing something here." He said, looking at Buu with fascination.
Satan offered to clear things up, and began to talk.

It was time to go. Vegeta had already killed Frieza and Cold (he couldn't find Koola,
however) and had completed his buisness here. The only reason he wanted to go to Hell was to
get his revenge finally, and escape. Had he gone to heaven, he may not have wanted to leave.
But the question of escaping hell was not one with an easy answer. He had an idea,
but if it didn't work, he would be here for a long time.
After the whole Majin Buu afair, Vegeta questioned the various Z warriors, just to
get all the details on what had happened. As it turned out, there was a point at which both
Piccolo and Gotenks had trapped themselves in the room of spirit and time with Buu. However,
Buu managed to escape when he yelled loudly (this part seemed stupid to Vegeta), but it did
work. Gotenks tried it also, and did it after powering up to SSJ3. Now it was clearly a long
shot, but Vegeta had the power to go SSJ3 now. And if he was lucky, then the room of spirit
and time would have the same basic proporties of hell. And that, would be his ticket out of
here.
Vegeta found a remote region of hell. He didn't want any distractions. There, he
began his power up. Without consciously doing it, he went into Super Saiya-jin mode. But he
kept rising his ki. Soon the ground was shaking, there was a distant rumbling which became
a loud thunder. The yellow aura surrounded Vegeta and got bigger.
"HIAAAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled out, causing an explosion of ki, sending the surrounding
rocks and such flying. He pushed his ki up as far as it would go, and finally, it was done.
For the second time, Vegeta had gone SUper Saiya-jin 3. "Now to get out of this hell hole."
Vegeta said with a grin on his face.

Gohan was getting sloppy, which was just what Goku wanted him to do. Goku began to
fight slower, weaker, and with less style, which led to Gohan becoming overconfident. Then,
when he sent a punch Goku's way, Goku fell to the ground, held himself up by two hands, and
sent his feet flying into Gohan's face. From there on, it was a downwards spiral for Gohan.
He was loosing the fight now.
"Damn you!" Gohan yelled, attacking his father. Goku blocked his attacks and count-
ered them with ease now. Evidently SSJ3 was stronger than a mystical Saiya-jin. He must have
had doubts about fighting his own son earlier, but they had vanished now.
"You overestimated yourself, Gohan." Goku instructed his son, "That's one of the
biggest mistakes a warrior can make."
Gohan cursed at this. "You're right. But I won't be beaten. Not by you, father." He
smiled and began to chuckle, making Goku uneasy. Ten he got into a stance that Goku knew
so well.
"KA-ME-HA--" he began.
"No! Stop it Gohan, you'll blow up the planet!"
"ME--"
"Damn!" Goku flew up into the air, just in time for Gohan to adjust his aim.
"HAAAA!!!" Gohan fired out a huge blast of ki at incredible speeds. Goku couldn't
dodge, indeed he couldn't do anything. But he wouldn'ty let it hit him.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" he souted out, and sent an equally impressive blast Gohans way. The
two titanic blasts clashed, head on, and created an explosion that shook the planet. Both
father and son poured all their energy into it, focusing, and trying to outdo the other. At
first Goku thought he might loose, when Gohan didn't seem to relent, but finally, he could
sense the wavering in his power. With that, he poured all his power into it, and his blast
tore through his sons, and hit Gohan dead on.
The impact of such ki sent Gohan deep into the Earth. He tried to hold the blast and
keep it from blowing up, but he failed. There was a gigantic explosion that shook Goku, and
could probably have been heard from around the world. But in the end, Gohan took the worst of
it. Goku was sure he had won.

***

Vegeta was ready. All he had to do was shout. But that wouldn't be enough, he had to
push his ki to the top, even for SSJ3. He powered up even more, and felt his body strained
to the ultimate.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he yelled, not able to hear his own voice over his powering up.
But he had to keep going. He had to stop Chill, for killing him. For stealing his power. For
humiliating him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Vegeta continued to yell when he got light headed. He heard
a gigantic rip, and saw a tear in the dimension, right in front of him. He had done it, but
he felt sick. All his energy was drained. He barely felt like he could even walk. But he had
to. If he didn't, he would collapse and be finished off by one of the creatures in hell. And
then, there would be no returning. He walked to the portal which seemed to be growing instead
of shrinking, but it was too hard. Every step felt like it would kill him. He was sure he
had reverted back to his normal self. And then, on the threshold of the portal, he felt him-
self blacking out. He leaped forwards, and lost consciousness.

Goku examined the crater he had made. It was a mile in every direction, and in the
dead center of it was Gohan, out cold. It was a good thing, too. It was one of the hardest
battles Goku had ever fought, and he was feeling exausted, but he retained his SSJ3 form.
He suddenly remembered Satan and Kiivicks. Satan was in danger with Pilaf, and
Kiivicks was a danger to this whole planet. He had to get back, but just as he prepared to
take off, he saw two figures comming towards him. He couldn't see them yet, but he could tell
by their ki. It was Goten and Trunks. Super Saiya-jin already, and they didn't look like they
wanted to talk, either. Goku sighed, and got ready for what would be an even more difficult
fight. And he wasn't even 100%.
