Chapter 6: Power of Courage
Author: Neoguy23
Goku and Tomek leapt into battle. The entire temple shook at their power. Goku was holding his own against his evil shadow, but Tomek was matching his every move.
"Man, I never knew I was this strong." Goku said, "Now I see what all my opponents went through."
"He's good." Tomek thought. "But I'll get him."
Tomek lept at Goku and kicked him up into the sky, straight out of the temple. It took Goku a second to recover from the shock and then he lept straight back into the fray.
"KAME-HAAME-HAAAAAA!!!!" Goku shouted as he shot his blast of energy.
"KAME-HAAME-HAAAAAA!!!!" Tomek shouted back.
The two energy beams met and exploded, knocking both Goku and Tomek away.
"Man, he's good." Goku thought to himself.
"You might as well give up." Tomek yelled. "You can't win, I know all your moves."
Goku ran at Tomek in a fury. Kicks and punches were flying from both sides as the gigantic battle raged on. Trees were being knocked down, rocks were flying everywhere, and the sky was full of lightning.
"You can't beat me, you foolish warrior." Tomek said between dodges.
"I will beat you no matter what Tomek." Goku said before getting a painful punch to the jaw.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really are foolish." Tomek said with glee.
"I'll be the judge of that." Goku said angrily.
Goku began charging up to about 75% of his power. He ran at Tomek and began to beat him furiously. Tomek then dissapeared in a blast of super-speed. Goku couldn't find him for at least 20 seconds, (which is forever to someone like Goku) when he did he could feel his power growing. Tomek was powering up!!
"Uh oh!" Goku said, "Looks like I'm gonna have to go full blast." Goku started to charge up as Tomek made his power equal to Goku's.
"I will defeat him, I won't lose to a mortal!" Tomek thought.
"I won't let my friends down." Goku thought.
Their power shook the entire temple to the ground. In the ruins Goku saw the bodies of all his friends and the two scientists.
"There they are!" Thought Goku. "Now I really have to win."
Goku flew at Tomek and began fighting. Tomek was matching his every move, but then, Goku let loose a punch that a beginner would have no trouble blocking but it hit Tomek dead on.
"What the heck." Goku said.
"I'll get you!" Tomek said furiously.
But Goku was noticing that Tomek was getting weaker and slower. Then it hit him, it was just like on Namek with Captain Ginyu. Tomek was having trouble controlling a Super-Saiyin body. Goku took this opportunity to attack Tomek in full force. Tomek was getting whipped.
But then Tomek's eyes opened wide and Goku found himself unable to move.
"So you found out I was having trouble." Tomek said winded.
Goku couldn't move. He couldn't even power up.
"What are you doing to me?" Goku said.
"I am controlling your body." Tomek said. "Your fear of your friends dying is now stronger than ever, even if it's not by your own hands."
"No! It can't be." Goku said.
"Oh, but it is." Tomek said as a smile grew on his bloody face. "And the best part is your worst fear is going to come true right now. I'm going kill all your friends, but I think I'll start with your son!"
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Goku yelled.
All of a sudden the imaginary bonds on Goku faded. Then, with Tomek completely stunned, he swung an incredible punch that went straight through Goku's evil shadow and out the other side.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Tomek screamed with pain.
Just then out of the hole, a bright light started to shine, and a ray of light shot straight at Goku. The light enveloped Goku and began to heal all his wounds, restore his power, and more. Goku never felt so strong.
"Well, your little friends' seem to want to help you." Tomek said with a sneer.
Tomek then tried to punch Goku. But Goku caught the punch and Tomek was dumbfounded. "My friends' power flows within me." Goku said. "And it will be more than enough to defeat you!"
Goku then jumped up and kicked Tomek in the the side. Tomek flew about a hundred yards before stopping himself (with the help of a large rock).
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FILTHY WORM!!!!!" Tomek screamed in fury.
With that he began to fly at Goku. The hole in his chest had healed but he was still weakened because of it.
"KAAAAAMMMMEEEEEE-!" Goku began to charge his Kamehameha.
Tomek was getting closer by the second.
"HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!" The blast was getting larger by the second as well.
Tomek was halfway there.
"MMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE-!" The blast was huge now.
Tomek was upon Goku right then. But Goku just put both his hands right on spot where he had punched a while ago.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" The blast shot out.
The blast of energy ripped straight through the body of the evil Goku at point blank range. When it was finished, there was a hole in Tomek big enough to fit two Gokus in it.Tomek stammered back, his face had a look of utter disbelief on it.
"No! This can't be happening to me!" Tomek said.
Then, Tomek let out a large cry, and many beams of light shot from his body. Many of them went toward the sky. But two went to the ground and went into the bodies of the two scientists. After that Tomek withered away into dust and blew away.
Goku could no longer sense him so he assumed it was over. He was certain when King Kai contacted him to offer congratulations.
"Great job Goku!" King Kai said. "You had me worried there for a second."
"King Kai? Is he gone?" Goku asked.
"Yes Goku. I can no longer feel his presence on earth anymore. Tomek is gone for good. You have avenged the lives of hundreds of people." King Kai said delightfully.
"What were all those little light beams, King Kai?" Goku asked.
"Over the many years that Tomek was free, he captured the souls of many people. but now they have all been freed with his defeat." King Kai explained.
Goku lined up his friends and began to concentrate. The bright light once again enveloped his body and this time, beams of light shot from his body to his friends and son.
Within a second they all awakened to find that they were all alive.
"Goku! What happened! Where's Tomek." Piccolo asked.
"He's gone. I defeated him, with your help of course." Goku said happily.
"What are you talking about, Kakarot?" Vegeta said. "I don't remember helping you."
Goku then explained what happened during the fight and how all their souls gave him the power to defeat Tomek.
"Wow! How wild!" Krillen said.
Dr. Uzuki and Randy both woke up to find that they were unharmed, but the temple was in ruins.
"Should we tell our colleagues what happened?" Randy said.
"No. We'll just say we found the temple this way." Dr. Uzuki said as he ran away with Randy close behind.
"Wait a minute!" Yamcha said. "How do we know that your the real Goku and not the evil one?" Yamcha said.
Just then they all heard a loud growling noise. It was Goku's stomach.
"Oh man! I'm starving!!" Goku whined.
"That's my daddy!" Gohan said.
They all laughed, execpt for Vegeta, who kind of sniggered.
"Let's go home Gohan. I'm starving and your mom's probably worried about us." Goku said.
And with that, they all flew off for the long journey home.
