Chapter 5
Goku and the others arrived at the Checking Station a few minutes later. Just like Yamcha had said, it was completely covered in small and large yellowish bubbles. And then a huge one surrounded the air below them that led to hell. It was almost impenetrable a couple hundred years ago, but now that they'd all gotten much stronger, it shouldn't be too hard to pop open. In fact, Goten was already getting ready.
"Kaaaaa.... meeee..... haaaaaa....." Goten started. He had already cupped his hands behind his back and a blue ball had appeared, shining light through his fingertips. The small blue ball grew larger, finally reaching the size of a basketball before Goten powered up to Super Saiyan. His hair flew up into a golden pattern and a yellow arc of ki surrounded his body. His ki ball also changed from the light shade of blue to an intense yellow. "Meeeeee........ Haaa!"
He let loose his attack, shoving his hands forward and releasing the immense power. It collided with the bubble, sending shock waves up and down it. The others were taking the chance to power up. Goku crouched low and raised his ki level far beyond what it had been during his battle against Zanji. His black hair sprouted out farther and he grew until he reached 6'3, the height his transformation always took him. The orange gi he was wearing was already in tatters before he had begun to power up, but now the top was ripped completely off exposing a pink and red fur pattern covering his chest and arms. His tail elongated and he wrapped it quickly around his waist. The already large muscles he had in his regular form more then doubled in size as his eyes were outlined in red. He could feel surges traveling through his body as his power level doubled, then tripled and still grew. He felt Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and the others finish their power ups, but still he went on. The air around him crackled with intensity as his body surged with a power he hadn't felt in close to a year. The Checking Station that sat nearly 200 feet away was literally forced back from his sheer might.
And then he was finished. Goku stood high over his family and friends, a look of serious determination about his face. Goten was still struggling to destroy the bubble, but he was having little progress.
"Move, Goten," Goku instructed his second son. Goten did as he was told and stopped his assault. There was little more then a scratch where his blast had connected. "It must be fueled by Jenenba's energy. As his power increased so did his shield energy."
Goku raised one hand and fired a small energy blast towards his target: the bubble. Upon impact, it exploded, sending up a column of smoke into the sky. A few moments later it all cleared and a large hole replaced a section of the bubble. The warriors dropped through it one by one.
-------------------------
Piccolo turned himself sideways to avoid a large fist that came out of thin air. It missed, and a few seconds later, another one appeared and he had to swerve to avoid this one as well. The fat yellow fists had been chasing him for a constant 5 minutes now and Piccolo was getting tired. He even had a bloody nose and torn gi shirt to prove it. He heard a crash above him and instinctively looked up to see what it was. He saw figures drop through the ceiling moments before he collapsed and his world turned black.
-------------------------
"Piccolo!" Gohan cried, racing to his friend's side. Gohan was cradling the Nameks' head. "Piccolo, are you okay?"
"Gohan, leave him alone. Piccolo will be fine; he's not dead. I can still feel his energy. He just needs some time to rest; now come on. We'll need to face Jenenba together."
"But..." Gohan was hesitant. He looked at Piccolo for another few moments, worry flashing in his eyes, but he obeyed his father.
Vegeta had already turned to face Jenenba when they first descended. Last time he had fought him it hadn't ended well, in fact it had ended with him fusing with Kakkorot. He could still remember the humiliation of having to do those damned steps for the first time. It seemed that he had fused with his rival many times during his lifetime to defeat enemies that should have been kneeling at his feet. Well not this time, this time he wouldn't join Kakkorot no matter what the cost. Even if it meant his life.
"Watch out!" Goten yelled to the saiyan prince. While he had been going over his thoughts, the fight had already started.
Vegeta looked up just in time to see Gohan go flying past him, blood already trickling from his jaw. A second later Goten also joined his brother on the opposite side of the field.
Goku was easily dodging punches that were flying from his opponent, but the others were having more trouble. Goten sped upwards, narrowly avoiding a ki blast aimed for his head but was flattened to the ground as a stubby arm came out of the air and knocked him to the ground. He felt the air rush out of his lungs as he hit the dirt. It took him a few seconds to regain his bearings, but when he looked up he saw that Gohan and Yamcha were out of the fight. Trunks had both under his arms, and was floating towards Piccolo. Probably trying to get them all together so he could hide them. Vegeta had finally entered the fight, using quick spurts of power to avoid the punches and ki shots coming at him. Goku suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Jeneba's body, hidden from his eyes. He crouched low and cupped his hands behind his back.
"Kamehameha!" he screamed out quickly, thrusting his hands in front of himself. Jenenba took the blast, it was to quick for him to try and avoid. But it was little more then a nuisance to the mammoth.
"Jenenba! Jenenba, Jenenba!" Jenenba moaned. The kamehameha wave didn't do much damage, but it frustrated him
