Chapter 4

"Pikkon, look out!" Piccolo cried. But to late. Jenenba had warped time yet again, punching Pikkon into the ground. So far the technique was very annoying. Jenenba merely punched in any direction, then warped space and his fist appeared next to his opponent. He could literally fight someone from miles away and still defeat him. Pikkon had been taking a major beating so far while Piccolo had been able to dodge or counter most of Jenenba's attacks. But so far neither had been able to land a hit on the fat yellow blob.

"That's it! I've had enough of this! YaaaaaaaaAAA!!!!" Pikkon yelled. A white aura surrounded his body, and an explosion of ki rocketed throughout Hell as he exploded his energy in all directions. While this was good in situations where both competitors were near collapse, it was not good early in a fight. Mainly because it drained all of your energy. Pikkon found that out when he lost consciousness shortly afterwards.

"Shit! He was my only help against Jenenba. Yamcha, hurry up and get Goku... Oomph!" Piccolo flew across the ground after being punched in the gut by Jenenba. Piccolo quickly discarded his training mantle and took off after the beast. He had to swerve wildly every few seconds to avoid the random punch or ki blast that Jenenba sent his way, but he had no major difficulty getting to him. Once Piccolo was within 50 feet of Jenenba, he stopped. A smirk spread across his face as he had an ingenious idea.

"So, you think you can defeat me? Let me show you something then... You should enjoy this!" With that Piccolo immediately began to gather his ki. But he wasn't powering up, he had done that a long time ago. He was gathering it... to grow. He was growing slowly but surely. His purple gi was already in shreds, and since he asexual he didn't even need clothes in the first place. But he retained all but a few torn pieces across his chest and legs. When he was finished he stood over 15 feet tall. Not nearly as tall as Jenenba, but tall enough so that he wouldn't be a fly compared to him anymore. Now he'd be a bee. A bee with a very painful stinger. He tried to launch an attack against the yellow fat blob, but at every turn he had to move to deflect a blow or counter an attack. He came in for a quick jab, and had to shoot a ki ball upward to deflect one coming at him from the space distortions. He tried to land a hard kick and ended up having to shoot himself upwards to avoid a mega punch coming his way. So far the power up hadn't done much for him, except make him a bigger target. If this lasted much longer he'd have to power back down to his regular size.

-------------------------

Pikkon had been knocked unconscious, but even then his mind still tortured him. Replaying glorious parts of his past when he was alive. He was hailed on his home world has a hero, a legend almost. After saving his planet from incoming meteors and after defeating the intergalactic planet broker known as Fridge, he had tried to lead a modest life. But that hadn't stopped reporters from visiting his house constantly. He still entered tournaments and basked in the glory that 1st place always held for him. He had never even had to use his full power then, rarely even having to remove his training equipment.

And then he had died. And for a while, a long while, he was still the most powerful fighter ever. Only he wasn't. In Other World, while he was training to receive a lesson from the Grand Kai, Goku and his friends were defeating Bebi, Super Android 17 and Shenron. Goku, a mortal, had done something no other had ever done. In the billions of years in the galaxy, no other man had ever defeated a God. Except for Goku. And he had to rub it in even further by defeating Porunga. Another God. Goku surpassed him at every turn. And was even able to defeat him although it was obvious Goku's power wasn't greater! Not only was Goku his superior in ki level, but also in fighting tactics. Yet another humiliation.

But Goku wasn't content with being the savior of his home planet, Earth. He also had to save the universe in the company of his old friends. He had to save the planets New Namek, Vereem, Morve, Lackova, and Toriyama-guchi. He was the first fighter in centuries to have the gift of life returned to him, not only once, but three times. And two of those times were granted by the Supreme and Grand Kai themselves. He had the Gods in his hands. The bastard knew it too. One day, Pikkon would show him what it meant to be the ultimate fighter. One day he would show all that he was supreme. One day they would all know him again, and they would chant his name even harder then all those centuries before. One day...

-------------------------

It was short trip from the Grand Kai's planet to Hell. Especially at the speeds that Yamcha and the saiyans could generate. So Goku sacrificed the small amount of time it would take to get there, instead of just using shunkiado (instant transmission) so he could fill in his partners.

"It turns out that a kid hadn't been watching the soul machines, you know, that cleanse souls on their way to Hell. Well he let the tank over flow and Jenenba was created. He can manipulate space so that he can punch in one direction, and have his fist appear in a completely different area. Like say, punching right in front of you and having your fist appear a hundred feet away. I couldn't defeat him, even in the level beyond the level beyond Super Saiyan. Vegeta couldn't either. So we fused into Gogeta. By then he had transformed into a much smaller version of himself. This one was red with gray armor and he had a long sword. He was able to use Block Transmission. Which is the same as my shunkiado, except he disappears in blocks. He's a very tough guy, and now that we have been sending all these evil spirits to him, I'm not sure how powerful he'll be."

"Wait a second, Dad. So this guy gets all the spirits of the dead? Including ones we've killed in our stints so far?" Gohan asked, fear finally entering his mind.

"Yes, Gohan. He's been gathering energy for years now, including everyone that we've killed. Making him, without a doubt, the most powerful being in the universe."

"Darn... Well when you and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta, you shouldn't have a problem, should you? I mean, we've all improved so much since we've had a major fight that he shouldn't be to much harder to beat..." Krillin muttered.

"Don't be a fool Krillin. We almost weren't able to defeat Porunga, what makes you think that after combining his power with Zanji and the others that Jenenba will be any easier to defeat?" Vegeta told the nose-impaired Buddhist.

"Okay okay, calm down," Krillin said to Vegeta.

"You don't tell me anything! I'll decide..." Vegeta ranted. But Gohan was already deep into his thoughts to pay much attention.

"Maybe this is it? Dad and Vegeta are acting awfully strange. They're not acting like themselves at all. It's not like Vegeta to get this upset before a fight. And Dad has been quiet... I wonder if this guy Jenenba can really be that strong? Maybe. If Dad and Vegeta had trouble with him last time they faced him, I'm sure he's much stronger now. I just hope that Piccolo is okay!"
