Gohan opened his mouth in disbelief. "What?! Clone? Me? You?!" And Akujin merely nodded.
"Clones? Akujin, we have to train! We have to train fast! And harder than ever! Sabre, we will
need your help, too!"
Sabre looked as if he knew that, but he stanced. "No way, not now. I won't train with you
guys, I train alone. It has always been that way, and it always shall be that way. For whavever
reasons, this is the way I am doing it!" And his aura flared white and took off, heading North.
Goten, Ivy, and Marron had walked up to Gohan and Akujin. "Clone? Why you two? Why not
Turon? That makes no sense," Marron and Ivy said together. But Goten said, "They CLONED you?!
Cool! Now I have two brothers!" And he flashed a grin.
"No Goten, this is a bad me. And he is as strong as me. But he's bad. We need your help,
Goten. Will you train with us?" And when Goten nodded, Gohan looked to the sky, in the direction
of the Lookout above the Earth, high in the skies. "We may have to train there..Dende won't like
you, Akujin. He is the Guardian of the Earth, and he doesn't take kindly to Demons or anything
with negative Ki energy.." And Gohan trailed off, lost in thought.
"Maybe CJ will be back. Ryan could help Goten, they seem about equal strength."
Gohan merely nodded, a bit absent-mindedly, and Akujin tried to explain. "CJ is sort of
a member, sort of not. She helps in fight occasionally, and her son Ryan is about Goten's age."
Gohan really didn't care, he was lost in thought. "What if they come too soon? What if
they beat us to the punch, and destroy us?" Akujin replied, "We will have to see, my friend."
Gohan thought a bit on that. "Friend? What? Me and him are friends? I guess..It seems
natural, I suppose. A friendship that is just there, no question. Natural friends..Strange..."
Gohan thought this the whole time.
Goten smiled. "Ryan? Cool! I want to meet him! I bet I'm alot stronger, too!" And he
grinned even bigger.
At that time, it was about two hours past since Akujin had made the promise of dinner.
"When do we eat?" Goten said this, and it made Gohan grin. He had forgotten food, the answer to
all the problems, for a Saiya-jin. (Gohan seems more like a cross of Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo
now. Doesn't he?)
Just then, as if by summoning, a woman and a young boy came trotting down the way Turon
and Sabre had. The boy did look to be Goten's age, and with blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked
rather tough for a kid. But he was grinning like a fool, much the same with Goten. And the woman
was quite beautiful, from this view. (Yes he could see her from there, he is a Saiya-jin, and they
have fairly advanced eyes..)
When the boy, Ryan, and the woman, CJ, had made it, Goten was trotting up to meet them.
After introductions had been made, Goten and Ryan seemed to be the best of friends. Rather strange
behavior, seeing as they had been complete strangers until that moment. But, Goten got along with
people naturally.
CJ looked at Gohan. "New guy? I see you have a high Ki energy, I guess you are strong
enough to make the cut. Anyways, your son seems to be friends with mine now."
Gohan scowled. "He is my brother, not my son." And he shared his history for the second
time that day.
CJ looked up at Gohan sadly. "That is horrible. I am sorry, I had no idea.."
"Please don't pity me, it makes for sadness and grief." And he related her with the events
of that day.
"Damnit! Now they have two more strong warriors! Oops. Two little kids around." And she
blushed after that. Women are strange..
Akujin nodded to Gohan, signaling for the training to begin. They each stanced, and Ki
auras flared, one silver, one red and black. Akujin threw a fist into Gohan's stomache, his new
power showing greatly. Gohan sweep kicked Akujin, and slammed a knee into his back. Akujin was
hit by these, but not affected much.
Akujin raised his hand. "Harmagudon!" Purple Ki energy formed, then black, then a massive
swirl of both, pusling and growing on his palm. (Basically Makankasoppo, just alot stronger..)
Gohan raised his hand, and a silver aura enveloped it. Slowly, he gathered silver and blue
pulsing Ki on his hand, and raised it. He muttered, "Strike of the Saiya-jin", his name for it, and
fired directly at Akujin, who was still charging up his own blast.
Akujin thrust his palm forward, and countered the blast with his own. Each blast, now one
really, flew at Gohan, who barely had time to dodge. At that time, Akujin came charging at Gohan
and slashed his chest. It sliced Gohan's Gi, and his chest, blood coming from the new wound almost
instantly. But this hardly earned Gohan's attention, he slammed his knee into Akujin's gut. When
Akujin was hit, he choked up blood and doubled over. Gohan then slammed his elbow into his back,
and flipped upwards. He stationed himself in the sky, gathering Ki energy as he had when Akujin
was evil. "Final Destroyer Hah!" he screamed, sounding much like his father. And as Akujin was in
pain, doubled over, he was hit and sent skidding across the ground. "Come on Akujin, go to your full
power! We need to get as strong as possible!"
Akujin stood up, and his aura flared. "This is my max, you just weren't at full power earlier.
And why don't we stop for a while, I have an idea how we could destroy these clones with no problems
at all." And he powered down, then walked to Goten and the others, then sat down.
Gohan floated down, powered down at this time, and walked to them. He sat beside Goten.
"What is this plan of your's?" he asked.
"Well, if we could fuse..We would be unstoppable, if you think about it. Not even Turon
would stand a chance. And Sabre is gone, so we can't count on him for help against the Imperials,
if they show up..." He said that almost as if he hated the concept of fusing. And Gohan couldn't
blame him. It was rather strange.
"Well, that is a solution..But..How can we fuse? The only person I knew who could was Piccolo,
and it came naturally to him, because he was a Namek..."
"What about the Guardian, this Dende? He is a Namek, right?" When Gohan nodded, Akujin
grinned. "So, we can ask him. He should know, since it does come naturally, apparently. Now, where
would Dende be?"
"At the highest point on the planet Earth, The Guardian's Lookout."
"And do you know where this..Lookout it?" Again Gohan nodded. And this time Goten did, too.
Gohan had let Goten train some in the Pendulum Room, they had went to the fight with Cell.
And, Goten went SSJ 2, at a higher extent than Gohan, and basically whiped the stadium floor with
Cell's ass.
"So, let's go! All of us! The Guardian of the Earth should have some way to help us train!
It will be great! And who knows, Gohan, maybe a new warrior will be born today."
So Gohan, Goten, Akujin, CJ, and Ryan charged up their Ki auras, each white, while Ivy picked
Marron up, as Marron couldn't fly, and extended her wings. She left a few seconds before everyone
else.
The others caught up, Gohan and Goten in the lead, and passed her. But she could keep up.
And after a few minutes, it turned out that Gohan had been wandering back to the tower that morning,
they landed on top of the tower, quite a strange party of highly skilled fighters.
Dende walked up immediately, and said to Gohan: "Hello my friend, you have returned! So,
will you be training today? Or have you come to chat? Please say chat, Mr. Popo gets rather boring,
only talking of the old Kami. It gets a bit boring." And he grinned, until he saw Akujin. "A..Demon
Warrior? Here? Gohan, I will not ask questions. If he is in your company, along with an Angel Warrior,
he must be intending to fight on our side. I guess they are fighters of the Empire? Of course. So,
what is it you guys want?"
So Gohan told him the story of what had happened since the two years he had been there, and
especially the events of today. "So, you see, we need to find a way to fuse. And Piccolo was the
only I knew who could, and he was a Namek. So I assumed you know how to fuse. Can you help us? Teach us?"
Dende nodded. "For people, not Nameks, there are only two ways. One way is ever-lasting,
and the other lasts for thirty minutes. The ever-lasting one is by obtaining a set of Potarra rings,
earrings that you wear, one on one person, the other on the opposite ear of the other person. And
the other way is to learn the fusion dance, a very complex dance that if you miss a step, just one,
you could damage the fusion. You might lose all Ki energy, or become extremely fat. So you have to
get it right the first time."
Gohan exchanged glances with Akujin. Akujin said, "Where can we get these earrings? I am
a Demon Warrior, so my powers could unfuse us."
Dende nodded. "Of course, I should have thought about that. The only way I know to get these
earrings is to ask the Dragon, because I don't have a set. I have only heard, but I am totally sure
that they exist."
Akujin arched an eyebrow. "The 'Dragon'..? What?"
Dende looked at Gohan shockingly. "You haven't told him about the Dragonballs?" And when
Gohan shook his head no, Dende went on to explain. "There are 7 magical orange balls, each with a star
to indicate it's number. One for the one star ball, and so on. Once all 7 have been gathered, the
Eternal Dragon, Shenron, can be called forth to grant the gatherer of the balls two wishes, now.
At one time, it was one, but I advanced them some time ago. Anyways, the Dragon will grant any wish
within his power. He can revive people, but only one time for a person. And I am sure he could get
you the Potarra rings. So Gohan, how many Dragonballs do you have now? It has been seven years since
the attack, and by now, you should be able to revive your friends."
Gohan shook his head. "Remember, Dende, the Dragon can only restore life if they have been
gone for less than a year. And I only have two, as many as I had two years ago. They are still locked
in my old home." By now, it was getting darker. The sun was about to set, and the warriors felt tired.
Dende shook his head, remembering now. "Ah well. We can worry about that later. I have
to get you all fed, then bathed, and get you all in a bed. Mr. Popo, come here please!"
And Mr. Popo came scuttling out. "Yes Dende?" he said, in that strange voice of his.
"Get them all some food, then set up a bath. And then take them somewhere so that they can
rest." Mr. Popo nodded, then scuttled off again.
~*~*~*~*~
Gohan awoke, refreshed, next to Goten, They had slept in the same room, as always, but CJ
and Ryan were in the same room. Goten and Ryan had already left, training Gohan thought, and CJ
was still asleep. She really was beautiful.
Gohan changed into his normal Gi, now repaired thanks to Mr. Popo, and went out.
What he saw amazed him. Ryan stood, his aura flaring blue, and his hair a black color, rather
than blonde. And Goten stood, in SSJ 2, his hands in the Kamehameha wave stance. And Ryan had his
hands the same way.
Goten said, "Now place your palms in front of you like me," he put his palms out to fire,
"and shout 'Kamehameha' and release the energy!"
Ryan moved his hands back to his sides, and gathered the energy the way Goten would have,
and thrust his palms at Goten, shouting "Kamehameha!" as he did so. The Ki blast flared out of his
hands, and it did so with Goten's.
At first, they were even, but Goten's slowly pushed back into Ryan's, then they each cut off
the energy they were sending into it. "Hey Goten, that was great! You too, Ryan! You learned the
Kamehameha quickly. Faster than Roshi..Goten, what was the breakfast that I missed?" Gohan said, grinning.
"Gohan, you know me really good! Me and Ryan ate it all, Mr. Popo is making more! We had
eggs and bacon, and rice, and lots of toast!" And he smiled, then powered down. Ryan did the same.
Dende rushed out. "Gohan, Mr. Popo knows the location of 3 Dragonballs, and has set out to
get them! He left me to make your breakfast...I hope it doesn't turn out too bad!" He flashed a smile
he had learned from Goku, pure innocence.
Gohan smiled. "It's okay, I can eat anything. You know me!" Dende grinned and took Gohan to
eat his breakfast. It surprisingly wasn't badly burned, and it tasted fairly well, considering Dende's skill
at cooking.
"All the others except for CJ have eaten, and are training all over the tower. The one girl,
Marron, I am surpised to meet her. She is a Guardian of the Light, isn't she? She has to be, with that wand.."
"She said she was the Guardian of the Light. Maybe she said it wrong, or something," Goahn said.
"No, she is the Guardian, now. For now. The others all fought the Empire, and died. But new
Guardians of Light will be chosen."
Gohan nodded, understanding now. "Oh, and Gohan, when you leave the tower, I fear it will be soon; it always
is when you come, seek out Magus, the most powerful Mage of all time. He carries a Dragonball, and he will
be willing to teach you the art of Magic. He is said to be a skilled fighter, but that is for you to decide."
"Thanks Dende, I will keep that in mind."
And then the tower shook violently as two warriors appeared in the center of the small Garden
at the front of the tower, one looking like Gohan, the other like Akujin. In Imperial Armor.
They had found them!
So, the first duel will begin. Turon is still nowhere to be found, and Sabre is off training somewhere.
What will they do?!
~WooHoo! I finished today. So, will the good guys kick the two warriors' arses, or will they become
part of the tiles on the Lookout? Find out next time, in the next chapter of the Dark Empire Saga!
(Excerpt from Chapter 4, The Master of the Mages:
Gohan looked at Akujin and nodded. The each pointed their fingers upwards, index fingers, and turned them
to the left. Then to the right. They each sidestepped, parallel to each other, and repeated until
a brilliant flash of light enveloped the two of them. Then their bodies began to merge together, and they each screamed.
"Aahhhhhh!"
The warrior that stood there was a sight to see. He stood with armor, the same as Akujin's, with an
orange headband on his head, black hair tied back in a pony tail. His red/black eyes were wicked, and
flame appeared to jump from each of them. He had on boots resembling Gohan's, fashioned to look
like Goku's, and wristbands the same. And on the back of the armor was Gohan's Gi symbol, painted
on the black armor.
The warrior took a step forward. "You have gone too far, Imperial Scum! I am the greatest
Warrior this world has ever seen, I am the Defender of Peace and Justice! I alone have the power
to rock the Heavens, and shatter Hell itself! I am Akuhan, the greatest lifeform of all time!" He
took another step forward, and posed, jagged blades ripping from his skin as he did so.: End Excerpt.)
Does that sound like a cool chapter? Of course it does! Please check tomorrow, or the day after! I am
going to try to write one everyday for you guys! ^_^ Ja ne!~
"Clones? Akujin, we have to train! We have to train fast! And harder than ever! Sabre, we will
