::SonGohan walks out, alone, no other person coming out::
Uhhh...yeah. About that...*long* delay...Uh, I re-did the chapter a million times over, and then deleted the whole thing. I finally decided just to make that a filler chapter, so that I could say I've posted something. This chapter, we see just how strong Gohajin is against the enemy, and Kolaan. Coming soon, they will find out about the betrayal on their side, and Sabre will return from his long training.

"Here I am, on the road again. Here I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playin' the Stars again. Here I go, turnin' the page..."

Sorry, that song has been on my playlist for a while now. Anywho, to any who may review this secluded piece of crap, I thank you. O.o; You know, I haven't seen a flame yet...Something must be wrong....::He shrugs slightly:: Now then. After I post this chapter, I'm going to work on something completely unimportant. And after I finish this fic, there will be alot of chapters since this a *long* story, I'll do a small humour fic as a break from seriousness. Then, I'll go straight into season two! Which reminds me. I need like...a name...for this. I mean, the series. Not The Dark Empire Saga. (Keyword: Saga)
Uh...Something like Dragonball Z...but...not. Ah well. I'll think on it.

::An explosion is seen, and I disappear now, the characters and setting appearing in my place::

"Dang, it's too quiet, Akujin. I think they really are planning something big." Son Gohan said, looking up at the branches of the tree he was lying against in the clear afternoon sky.

Akujin looked down from the branch he was sitting in, his almost-human-appearing face in a wry smile. The only thing that made him look not human was the not-so-normal paleness, and the two-inch fangs. "Well, we'll be ready. Even if they have mastered the Fusion Dance, that will only last thirty minutes. Maybe less, since they are so powerful. And we've been training non-stop. A break is nice. Don't suggest we train any more, Gohan."

"Well, I for one hope they come soon. I'm growing restless with training. I must see what this power of mine really CAN do." Kolaan said, hanging upside down in a branch next to where Akujin was sitting. "I mean, damn. I've only sparred with Gohajin. I've never gone all out, nor has Gohajin."

Gohan shook his head. "Peace is always best, when you can have it, Kolaan. Sure, the thrill of the fight is great, especially when you want revenge, but the thrill will eventually die if you fight them too often. I want peace to last, no more innocents can die. Especially not by our mistakes."

"True, true, I suppose. But I just can't stand the thought of them still being alive, planning. I mean, what if they have something that can wipe us out?" Kolaan said.

"Then we die trying to kill it," Akujin said, amusement strong in his voice. "I mean, everyone dies sooner or later. May as well be later than sooner, but you can't stop death."

Gohan scowled, then abruptly turned his head to the West, where two strong Kis could be felt. "..It's them, Akujin. They came to play. Shall we dance with our clones?" Gohan laughed, standing up and brushing off his pants.

Akujin nodded, hopping out of the tree. "Yeah, that would be nice. Maybe we can show them some of our new moves, and see if they have a dance they can show us. Before we destroy them."

Kolaan fell out of the tree. "Yes! My chance! Let me go first, Gohan! Akujin, let me go!"

"No way, Kolaan. We don't want them to know we have someone so powerful just yet. Especially if only me and Akujin are needed to take him out."

"Gohan's right, Kolaan. For now, stay at half our max power. If we need help, go to your limits." Akujin said, stancing, his Piccolo-styled training Gi bulging from his power growing, and muscles. "HAAAAHHH!!!" Akujin's red and black hair spiked a bit, his red eyes flashing as his red and black aura sprang up around him. A demonic growl escaped Akujin's throat as two sleek blades with a slight split in the very tip sprang forth from his arms.

Gohan stanced as well, his muscles tightening as they bulged slightly. White flame kicked up around him, soon turning golden, then silver. His hair became waved slightly, then became spikier and more rigid, first turning a yellow-gold colour then a whiteish silver. His pupils blazed green, then blue, cold as winter's heart. "HHYYAAAAHHH!!!"

Kolaan merely shrugged, a black aura enveloping him. He only went half of each of their power, which were almost dead even, Akujin's a little higher. "I'll stand ready," he said, leaning on the tree, arms crossed.

Imperial Gohan and Imperial Akujin appeared from out of nowhere. "Well, well. Look who's here. It's Mr. Silver-bangs and Mr. 'Growl Growl'. Hehehe." A chuckle rose from Imperial Gohan's throat.

"Yeah, you'll hear me growling while I tear you a new asshole, dumbfuck," Akujin said, crouching a bit lower than his normal stance.

"You'll try that on my friend, will you? I highly doubt that," Imperial Akujin said, pulling out a black earring and placing it on his left ear. "Shall we, Gohan?" he said to Imperial Gohan.

"..Just a flaming minute." Imperial Gohan was eyeing Son Gohan. No doubt he was thinking about their brief alliance. "I should have killed you right after we saved them, you know, Silver-bangs. But I didn't want to risk signaling us out. If I was caught, and it was known I had an alliance with YOU, I would have been killed. But no matter. Now we shall do the job." He pulled out a solid-black earring and placed it in his right ear, then jerked as his body slammed into Imperial Akujin's.

"HYAAAHHH!" A deep, resonating green and black aura covered the figure that stood there. With a solid frame, large bulging muscles in Imperial Armor, and waving black and red hair. He looked very much like Gohajin, but with a permanent scowl, and much more wild with his waving hair. He growled, jagged spikes shooting out of his forearms through a slit in the armour, a red and dark blue aura springing up around him.

"Heh. I am Gohajin, bringer of Destruction, Pain, and Sorrow. None can match my skill, my tactics, my strength. I alone hold the power to crush you, and I shall use it!" he said, pointing towards the three Resistance members.

"Holy..! Akujin, how did THEY get Potarra rings?!" Gohan said, eyes bulging.

"..I...I...I have no idea, Gohan," Akujin stuttered.

"Not Potarra rings, bakayaros. The Great Empire designed them, especially for us. Now we have the power to make sure you die."

"Not if we can help it!" Gohan shouted, pulling out his blue-and-yellow Potarra earring. Putting it on his right ear, he was copied by Akujin, except that Akujin put it in the left ear. They slammed into each other, becoming one single integrated being.

Standing there, with his white and black aura flaring, two thin bangs hanging down in his face, he smirked. His muscles bulged slightly, in the orange Gi pants of Son Gokou, slashed with purple, with a matching Gi shirt. Two-inch fangs showed as he smirked, the sleek blades of Akujin tearing free of his flesh. The black wristbands barely avoided being nicked.
"I am Gohajin, the Ultimate Lifeform. None have totally matched my skill, and none will." His black and red hair started to stir slightly, the wind picking up around him. "I am Gohajin, the one being with the power to shatter the Heavens and upturn Hell on its basin." Forked red lightning struck from the darkened skies above him, the ground staring shake as a red and silver aura picked up around him slowly. "I am Gohajin, the result of Akujin's and Gohan's bodies together. I am Gohajin, this planet's only hope! HAAAHH!!" His hair flared wildly, becoming silver streaked in red, his red-tinted black eyes flaring into a purple colour. His muscle bulged slightly, and lightning resonated off of him. "I am Gohajin, and I shall strike you down!"

Zanzoukening behind Imperial Gohajin, Gohajin sent a swift kick out at him. Yet somehow he was kicked, going up into the air and then skidding off the ground. "Fuck! What the Hell?!" Standing up, he was then punched in the gut, spittle flying up from his mouth. Stumbling backwards, holding his stomach, he growled. "Damnit to all...! Kolaan, go to your max! NOW!"

All of a sudden, Kolaan was seen with spikey black hair and a flaring black aura, kicking down at Imperial Gohajin. But before he could hit him, Kolaan was seen flying into the ground, blood flying from his mouth. "Gah!"

Taking the much needed distraction, Gohajin cupped his hands at his sides, energy flaring in them. "Kaaammeee Haammee Haaammeee HAAAHHH!!" The large blast of energy flew at the Imperial Scum, then he and the blast disappeared. The next thing Gohajin knew, he was flying into a mountain. "Gah! Fuck! How the Hell did he get this strong?!"

Standing up from the rubble, his Gi torn, Gohajin looked up, speaking in the double tone. "How do I beat him?"

Kolaan was getting his ass kicked, and Gohajin cursed loudly. Zanzoukening beside him, he planted a fist in the Imperial's ribs, pushing him back a few inches. Still scowling, Imperial Gohajin grabbed Gohajin and slammed him into a tree.

Then, a whirring motion was seen, and Imperial Gohajin fell to the ground. "Gah! Damnit! Not him!" Cuts seemed to bloom on his shirt and his back and his arms, all over him. Then he was being thrown about wildly, by an unseen force.

Abruptly the punches stopped, and another figure materialized. He was slightly bulked, and looked alot like Akujin. Whoever it was, Gohajin thanked him, not recognizing him immediately. He had blue and black hair, jagged blades ripping from his arms, blue eyes, and Akujin's insignia on his battered Demon war-armor.

Raising his palm to Imperial Gohajin, the strange fighter charged up a deep coloured blue blast which pulsated with Ki energy. "Zenkai blast!" Firing it at Imperial Gohajin, he was next seen behind him, slamming him into the blast whiched exploded on impact.

"We'll get you for this, Demon scum!" Imperial Gohajin zanzoukened away, this time losing badly.

"Well, little brother, it seems you know more about fighting than we thought," he said, adjusting a blue headband on his head. "Now, seperate yourself from that low-levelled monkey."

Gohajin stared blankly at him, then suddenly he split apart in two. Gohan and Akujin each stood up, no harm noticed on either of them.

Now that Akujin was himself and not Gohajin, he recognized him. It was Akuma, his older brother! "Brother! Akuma! It's been so long!" Akujin walked to him, and put a fist on his brother's chest, mimicked by Akuma. For Demons, that was the same as hugging each other tightly. At least, with close family. "So, how's it been?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, it's been sucking ass. But, all is well. I've been fighting the Empire, same as you."

"Great! So, what've you been up to lately?" Akujin asked.

"..I went back to Hell, to see Dad."

"Cool!! How is he?"

".... Father is dead, Akujin. I have reason to believe it was Valnir Hellrane."

At first, the news didn't quite strike home. "Dead? Dad, dead? Come on, you've gotta be kidding me. Dad is as strong you and me together, maybe even more so."

Akuma placed a hand on his younger brother's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Akujin."

Akujin stared blankly for a moment, seeing nothing really. Then he growled, and jerked away from Akuma.

"VALNIR!! COME HERE NOW, YOU SORRY BASTARD! I WILL FIGHT YOU HERE AND NOW!"

"Akujin, it won't work. I'm sorry. I know where Valnir Hellrane is, I will go and avenge our father," Akuma said, almost sympathetically.

"NO!! I am going to help! I WILL!" Akujin shouted.

"Brother, look at you. You are consumed by rage. There is no way that you could fight Valnir. You would be killed. I have already shed my tears, and released my rage. But I shall avenge him for you. You have my word, brother."

Akujin sat down, shaking. "..Very well, brother. You can. But at least bring him back when he's wounded, so I can get a few hits on him. Maybe even tear of his head..."

Akuma grinned, then laughed. "That's what brothers are for!"

Akujin nodded, barely. "Well..will you help us fight them? I mean, join the Resistance?"

Shaking his head, he sighed. "Akujin, I was banished from Hell. I am a loner, a traveller. I stand alone. Even inside, I stand alone. No, I won't join. I fight alone."

Akujin stood up, nodding again. "Well, I guess. I'll see you sometime, then. I don't imagine you want to go near Dende-sama or an Angel or a Warrior of the Light."

Akuma almost growled, but instead nodded. "Yes, I think I will leave now. Good bye, brother." And with that, his image blurred, and he, too, was gone.

"For your sake, brother, you better avenge father..." Akujin said, looking up. "Well, Gohan, Kolaan, I guess we should go now. I suppose we should get some rest."

"Yeah, that would be a great idea," said a greatly battered Kolaan. "Didn't bring any sensus, nooo..Just a nice break from the world. No fighting today. Bah! What a break!"

"I thought you WANTED to fight, Kolaan," laughed Gohan. "Did they prove too much for you?"

"..Shut up."

"..Wait. How DID they stomp us down? I mean, they had lower powers than use when they fused."

Akujin shrugged. "It must have been their earrings. You know how the Potarra boost our combined strength extremely? Well, their's were made for them. Maybe they boost their strength even more."

Gohan and Kolaan nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense."

"Now, let's go.." Akujin said, his aura kicking up around him as he blasted off to the Headquarters, Dende's Lookout.

Gohan and Kolaan did the same, jetting off eastward, following Akujin.



And so now they know that the Imperials have even more up their sleeves than they thought. And Akuma had visited with Akujin, though shortly. Finding out about his father's death, will Akujin rush blindly in and attack despise his brother's warning? Find out..some time.

::I walk back out now, the show over::
Did'ya like it? Well. I doubt you did. Another sort-of-filler chapter, but it had important happenings. Now Akujin has bloodlust against the Empire. But damn, where the Hell is Sabre? Remember him? He has been training for a while now. Anyways, review this. O.o Please.
