Dragonball: The Chill Saga
Chapter 11: Good news and bad news
"BIG BANG ATTACK!" Vegeta yelled, as he outstreched his hand towards Gotenks. The
fused warrior didn't have a witty retort to this. The huge ball of raw ki was hurled towards
the young fighter, but Gotenks was too fast for this. He leaped over the attack at the last
instant.
"Hahahahaha! Is that all you have pops? Just give it up a--" he cut himself off. His
opponent was gone. What...?
In an instant Gotenks was sent pumeling towards the ground. Vegeta had used the big
bang attack mearly as a distraction, and got a good hit in. Gotenks was quite literally six
feet under (no, he wasn't dead), and exploded his ki in fury. The ground around him was
obliterated.
Vegeta couldn't give him any time to launch another offensive. He began to throw ki
balls at random around the area Gotenks was in. It was a classic technique used by warriors
of all class. Basically, let the enemy tire themselves out trying to dodge all the attacks,
which was impossible anyways. A few would always hit your opponent, and it was demoralizing.
"Vegeta! Don't waste your strength! Gotenks is still too powerfull!" Goku yelled to
friend. But Vegeta either couldn't, or wouldn't listen. He was too absorbed in the fight.
Suddenly, doom was spelled for Vegeta as a gigantic ki blast was sent back towards
Vegeta. The Saiya-jin cursed and moved out of the way just in time. Gotenks emerged from the
dust, looking relatively unharmed.
"What?!?" Vegeta cried out. Gotenks smiled, and gave him a 'peace' sign. But, of
course, he had no intention of peace. Instead, he was ready to finish Vegeta once and for
all. He crouched down and struck a familiar position.
"KA-ME-HA-ME--" he began.
"Damn!" Vegeta cried. He knew he wouldn't be able to dodge this. He was too weak.
Taking the blast was out of the question, he'd be destroyed. There was only one option. And
he doubted the results would be good.
"HAAAA!!!" Gotenks yelled, and sent a kamehameha Vegeta's way. Vegeta just looked at
the giant ball of ki grimly for a second, and then poured all his energy into one mighty
attack.
"FINAL FLASH!"
***
Zombies were bizzare opponents. There were billions of them, their power was nil (in
ki standards, anyways), and yet, they always seemed more than eager to attack Kiivicks. With
one small blast, he could destroy thousands of them, providing they were in one location.
The only unsettling thing about them was the stench. They had the smell of the dead
all over them, and after being around them for several hours, watching their bodies explode
like grapes, Kiivicks felt sick. He had to get away from them, if only for a second. He flew
several thousand feet up. The air was cold here, and very refreshing. He enjoyed it only for
a few seconds, however, since mini-buu flew up to him with it's small little arms crossed.
"You're supposed to be helping earth, not going for a joy ride."
"Shut up for just a second!" Kiivicks snapped. He was tired of the little monster
and his attitude. "I need some air, can't stand the smell of those stinking corpses."
"Oh, you should have said so." said Buu. His hands did a little dance, and with a
small pop, there was a clothes pin in his hands.
"What?" Kiivicks asked in wonder. "Is this a joke?"
"Hahahahaha!" Mini-Buu laughed. "Yeah! A good one, huh?!?! Hahahaha!" The pint sized
magical being laughed hysterically at it's own bad joke. Kiivicks cursed.
"Okay, okay," Buu said after he finally calmed down, "How about I turn all the dead
zombies into candy and eat them once you kill them? At least that way you won't have to look
at them."
Kiivicks wondered what would encourage this thing to eat a rotting zombie, but he
said nothing. "All right, let's go."
***
Buu flew swiftly towards the two ki's he felt. They were both getting weaker, one
more than the other. If he didn't hurry, he might be too late. He poured on the speed, as he
blasted across the landscape.
***
After approximately 10 seconds, Vegeta knew he had no chance of beating Gotenks. He
simply didn't have enough experience as Super Saiya-jin 3. After a tense minute of pouring
his energy into his Final Flash, he let up and fell to the ground. The Kamehameha went harm-
lessly into orbit.
Vegeta landed on the ground, collapsed to his knees, and reverted back to his normal
form. He was exauhsted. Spent too much energy too quickly. Gotenks laughed overhead, and
began to throw ki attacks at Vegeta. He was too random, and Vegeta managed to dodge them, but
his legs were beyond tired, and were on the verge of collapse. But...no! He couldn't loose
to this arrogant little pipsqueek! And kakarotto...he still had to beat him in their fight.
He couldn't loose!
Unfortunatly, Gotenks finally scored a hit, after Vegeta got too tired to move. It
hit the older warrior in the back, and sent him sprawling on the ground. Vegeta cursed,
Gotenks laughed, and Goku felt his heart sink. Vegeta had failed. And there was no one else
who could help them. But he felt his spirits rise as fast as they had fallen. He could feel
the familiar ki of someone not warped by Pilaf. It was Buu!
"Vegeta, hang on a second. Help is on the way." Goku said to Vegeta.
"Are you mad, Kakarotto?" Vegeta grunted. He was hurt bad. "We're already doomed. No
one is comming."
"Trust me." Goku smiled.
Gotenks was having the time of his life. He laughed out loud as he taunted his fallen
opponents. But his boasting was buying them time. Vegeta tried to stand up, but fell backward.
His energy was completely depleated.
"Haha, don't try anything, old man!" Gotenks laughed. "I promise, I'll make this
quick." With those words said, he began to charge up his ki. Goku could sense Buu was pain-
fully close now, but in a few seconds, it would be over. Gotenks had won!
Then, something unexpected happened. As The fused warrior was about to launch the
ball of energy down, he poped into two seperate warriors, and the energy was lost.
"What?" Goten said surprised.
"The fusion...it must have worn off!" Trunk exclaimed. "But it doesn't matter. We
can still take these two. Their almost dead anyways."
Goten laughed at this. "Allright, let's do it."
The two warriors were about to swoop down and deliver the coup de grace upon their
fathers, when a blast of ki hit Trunks, and sent him painfully to the ground. Goten turned
to see Buu hovering in the air. This was not good.
"Hey, Goten! Kick his ass!" Trunks yelled to his friend. Goten just looked at Buu.
He was full of energy, and Goten was tired.
"Uh...I'm gonna let you off easy this time!" He yelled to Goku and Vegeta. With that,
he blasted off.
"What?!?!" Trunks yelled. "That...That coward!!! He can't leave me like this! This
isn't fair!"
"Hey, Buu. Your timing is perfect." Goku said weakly.
"You're hurt." Buu said. "Here, let me help." The magical being put his hands over
Goku's battered body and an instant later, Goku was healed. He lept to his feet.
"Wow, that feels great!" He said. You'd better help Vegeta, though." Vegeta couldn't
move. His whole body was numb. Luckily, Buu healed him as well. The three then walked up to
Trunks, who was clutching his bloodied arm.
"Well. What are we supposed to do now?" Goku asked. "And Buu, why aren't you a servant
to Pilaf by now?"
Buu quickly explained how the Dragonballs didn't apply to him. Vegeta said nothing.
***
Chill always thought of himself as pretty much the strongest thing in the universe.
But now...now that he had both the combined power of Vegeta and Broily mixed with his own,
he realised how limited his vision was. He could destroy entire star systems if he so chose
to! Such untameable power was almost overwhelming, but he remained reserved as ever. Right
now, he wanted to punish the planet Earth for it's crimes. And he had a great idea.
There only way to punish a planet was to scar it. He flew upwards, almost until he
found himself in space. He looked at the planet Earth. So beutiful and peacefull. Well, he'd
put an end to that. With that final thought, Chill began to power up...
***
"So what exactly do you intend to do with me?" Trunks asked defiantly. Goku looked
at Vegeta, like he might have the answers. He didn't
"How should I know? If we leave him, he'll eventaully find Goten and come back after
us. But we can't take him with us, either. He'll make too much trouble!"
"I think I have an idea." Buu piped in. "I'll do to him like I did to Pan. Turn him
into a piece of candy."
This made everyone silent. It sounded like a plan. Unexpected, but a plan nonetheless.
"Alright, go for it." Goku said. Trunks never even had time to object.
As soon as trunks was done with, there was time for a brief counsel. The biggest
question was to decide what the next move would be. Vegeta quickly filled Goku in on what
was happening. Goku was surprised.
"So you're the cause of all this?"
"I didn't do it on purpose!" Vegeta snapped.
"Even so, Vegeta, you shouldn't have escaped from the afterlife like that. The rules
are there for a reason, and there will be consequences."
"I'm aware. And normally I wouldn't have done it, but this was something I had to do."
Goku left it at that.
"Well, I"m not sure, but I think I can gather the Dragonballs by teleporting. Their
power is drained from the casting of a wish, but it's still there."
"What good will that do, Kakarotto?" Vegeta asked. "We won't be able to cast another
wish for a year. It's useless to waste time like that."
"But you're forgetting, we get two wishes from the dragonballs. Remember when Dende
granted them that ability."*
"If that's so, then why didn't Pilaf get two wishes?"
Goku was stumped. It didn't make sense, but he could tell by the faint power that
there was still a wish to be had. He'd have to ask Dende about it later. He told them to go
off and to keep control of Earth as best they could. He, in the meantime, was off.
***
Kiivicks was dumfounded. How could a mear Saiya-jin have so much power? He looked at
his opponent cautiously. This was a talented warrior.
King Vegeta, leader of the Saiyaq-jin in the afterlife (and now, in life again) was
far more powerfull than Kiivicks could have expected. He had done a small bit of research on
him. His power level shouldn't have been more than 24,000 at his peak, and yet now he was
standing up to Kiivicks. Or perhaps Kiivicks was just being careless, thinking this just
another Saiya-jin and all.
"HAAAAH!" THe King yelled, and in one brief instant, launched a ki ball towards
Kiivicks.
"Damn!" He yelled, and crossed his arms in front of him. Too late to dodge. The very
impact of the blast rocked Kiivicks backwards. His gloves were shredded, and his arms felt
numb. He didn't have time to recover.
The Saiya-jin warrior attacked again, this time delivering a kick right to Kiivicks
face. It knocked a few teeth out, and sent Kiivicks flying, again. By now, Kiivicks was tired
of being pounded on by a monkey. He stopped himself in mid air, and began panting hard. He
clutched his jaw in one hand and the the other go limp. He also began to float to the ground
ever so slowly. He was done.
The king sneered, and blasted towards him, ready to deliver the coup de grace. When
he was only yards from his battered opponent, Kiivicks let out a roar, and charged forwards,
punching the king in the stomach. Hard.
The Saiya-jin sprawled onto the ground, wind knocked out of him. Kiivicks leaped into
the air, and powered up. He only had a window of a few seconds.
When he had gathered sufficient, ki, he sent out a very strong and devastating blast.
The king was still realing from the unexpected assault, and jumped out of the way. Only par-
tially, however. His left arm was badly wounded from the attack. Kiivicks cursed at the only
partial hit.
"Not bad." the king said, clutching his left arm. "Not bad at all."
Kiivicks smiled, although it hurt to do so. "I might say the same to you. You're very
strong...for a Saiya-jin, and all."
The king chuckled. "That's your biggest problem. Everyone in Cold's army underestimates
the power of a Saiya-jin warrior. It's always your biggest mistake."
Kiivicks knew this was true. He had just done it. But it mattered little, he had
already won the battle. This puny Saiya-jin couldn't stop him.
"Perhaps your right. And perhaps your race is more than we always thought it to be.
And perhaps, just perhaps, you're more honourable than I thought."
The king solemly nodded, and began to power up. He knew he would be killed. But there
was no greater glory to be achieved than to go down in battle. Like a true Saiyan warrior.
He attacked. They fought. Seven minutes later, the king was dead.
