Chapter 5: Genocide
It did not take the Z-warriors long to get to Turlet's location thanks to Goku's instant transmission. All of them were in the air floating with the clouds passing them up in the wind.
"Damn," Turlet thought to himself, "I should have examined the events here with greater detail. I did not know Goku could do that. It does not matter though."
"Turlet," Goku called, "There is no reason to fight us. This quest of vengeance is meaningless. The actual Saiyans that killed your people are long dead."
"While that may be true, the fact remains the same. All of you are Saiyans, in one way or another. It is time you realize the consequences of your murderous actions."
"I've had enough of this bastard!" Vegeta shouted. "You're a dead race that has no place in existence."
"Vegeta, you of all people should speak. Part of you is responsible for the creation of my power."
"What?!!"
"Yes. It was your ancestor's DNA I used to splice with my own brain cells. Now, part of that DNA has made you what you are. I now give all of you the first move. Attack me together if you prefer."
The Saiyans positioned themselves trying not to act surprised. It was unusual for anyone to allow a group to fight just one individual. However, all of them took advantage. Vegeta immediately super speeded behind the Tuffle ready to kick the alien in the spine. Just before his foot came in contact, it stopped. Vegeta, caught off guard, suddenly was thrown in the other direction by an invisible force. Trunks and Goten tried to attack him from two sides, but with exactly the same result. Gohan rushed in to try to catch Turlet off concentration, but his body refused to move as soon as he came within two feet of the villain. Turlet psychically threw Gohan into Vegeta. All the while, Turlet had not moved a muscle. All his attacks were done with his mind. Goku charged head on to the alien, but instant transmitted out. Turlet began to search for him as Goku appeared behind him…then another Goku appeared in front of him. Two more appeared to his sides. Each of them were preparing Kamehameha Waves. Trulet was not surprised by this and extended his hand to his left. Goku instantly was thrown back as the other three Gokus disappeared.
"After images. That is one attack I have seen you pull off. Any more attempts before I kill you all?"
Gohan flew right in front of Turlet with his hands on his forehead, palms facing out.
"Masenko-HA!"
The beam of energy split before coming in contact. However, the beams began to wrap themselves around the villain and cover him in a shell of energy. Gohan fired another energy beam, and the shell exploded. Turlet was nowhere to be seen.
"Now!" Gohan shouted.
Immediately, all of them went Super Saiyan. Turlet materialized just behind Gohan.
"Impressive. Making me escape with teleportation just long enough to turn into Super Saiyans, but it will be your down fall."
This time, all of them attacked together with a full force. Each if them fired there own blasts. In the shouts of "Kamehameha," "Masenko-ha," and "Gatlik Gun Fire," a huge flash of light exploded out for one focal point. All of them, however, were shocked to see Turlet unscratched from the attacks. As each of them was frozen by shock, Turlet unleashed his own attacks. After throwing Vegeta, Trunks, Goku, and Goten of to the side, he unsheathed his sword and drove it into Gohan's leg. Gohan attempted to hit the enemy, but his body stiffened. Every muscle in his body refused to move again. Struggling, Gohan tried to focus his energy into just moving. Goten rushed to his brother's aid, and charged up a Kamehameha Wave. Turlet, however, swung his blade from Gohan's leg and sliced right into Goten. With another swing, he sliced across Gohan's neck. Both of them froze with a surprised expression on there face. They returned to their normal state. Goku, Trunks, even Vegeta floated there with open mouths as Goten's chest and arms and Gohan's neck leaked out blood. At the same time, Goten's arms and upper torso and Gohan's head slid off their usual positions and fell with there bodies back to the ground and sea. Turlet floated there with his blood stained sword in his hand, waiting for the other three to attack. Goku started to get angry, but Trunks's rage shot up. Immediately, he charged for his friend's murderer.
"You fucking baka!"
"Trunks!" Vegeta beckoned to his son.
Suddenly, Turlet's sword teleported from his hands to behind Trunks. With one slice, Trunks reverted to normal and split in two. The sword floated as Trunks's remains fell to the earth. Vegeta began to move to attack Turlet, but he was also paralyzed by the villain's psychic powers. The sword aimed for Vegeta and speed towards the Saiyan prince. Goku shouted as he rushed to grab the sword in hopes of stopping it. Just as Goku was about to grab the handle, it stopped and swung 180 degrees towards Goku himself. The blade went trough his chest and out his lower back. After an agonizing cry of pain, the sword moved to slice trough his lower half. Then the sword floated back to Trulet's right hand, and he swing it right though Goku's neck. Just like Gohan, he reverted to normal and fell towards the earth. Then he turned to a paralyzed and struggling Vegeta.
"Do you see now, Vegeta? Now you are like us, alone."
"Us?! What the Hell are you talking about, you son of a bitch!!?"
"While it is true that I am the last Tuffle, I am also the representation of all the people you have killed. My real mission is to get to you, Vegeta."
"What?! Then why kill everyone else?"
"I wanted to hurt you. You see, Vegeta, the beings you have killed have never had a voice. Now they have me. The very people you though were dead have come back to haunt you. I have taken away the people you love and hate. You love your son, even though you do not show it. Your ever-going quest to be better than Goku has been stolen. You see, Vegeta, vengeance is not merely killing. It is also despair. And, as one of the earthlings put it, it is best served cold."
Vegeta could see his point. His worst nightmare had just come true. Goku was no longer there to surpass, and his son, who he would die for, was gone as well. He could feel the paralysis leave him as Turlet released Vegeta.
"Now, Vegeta, I give you an opportunity to avenge your friends. Fight me. I will not even read your mind. Fight me and die!"
Vegeta felt like going over the edge to kill the Tuffle, but thought. It was as if he could fell that Goku and the others were telling him to stop and think, almost being able to hear them.
"No! I cannot let my anger get the better of me. There has to be something I can do. I hope these Dragon Balls can bring back Trunks, but I have to get rid of him. But, how? He uses the attack energy against his opponents."
"Face it Vegeta. With your ancestor's DNA, I cannot be harmed."
Vegeta then laughed. Turlet, for once, began to get skeptical. Vegeta cupped his hand and formed a ball of white energy.
"So, you used Saiyan blood to get you powers. I'm not a scientist, but I know when you change that part of you, the traits remain. Cell was not like that due to his traits being chosen for him, but you…you mutated your blood. A Saiyan created this attack, and now, you will feel what is like to be a Saiyan."
Vegeta threw the attack into the air and detonated it. A huge flare-like light emitted over the two.
"I don't know what that was supposed to be, but…"
Suddenly, Turlet felt pain. He began to descend back down; Vegeta followed him. Lading on an island, Turlet could feel his powers leaving.
"What have you done?"
"That attack is used to simulate a full moon, which we Saiyans need to transform with our tails. It looks like your DNA is not reacting well with it."
"That's impossible! I would have to have grow a tail."
"It looks like you need to rethink your theory."
"My Tuffle DNA must be acting as a median for the tail. But, I cannot transform."
Turlet's body suddenly became unusually fatter with muscle. Hair only grew on his arms, and his hands became largely deformed.
"What have you done to me?" Turlet asked with his voice. "My body cannot complete the transformation. My powers are now focused on my body instead of my mind. Why didn't I calculate this? The treatment is still too dangerous."
Vegeta extended his hand towards the villain.
"With no psychic powers, you can't defect my blasts."
Vegeta remembered the deaths of his friends and focused his energy into the palm of his hand. With a shout of "Big Bang Attack," the raging beam of energy destroyed the mutated Tuffle.
A/N: Ha! So there. That's why Turlet thought Gohan could surpass Goku in the last chapter, because he was not fully paying attention to the events going on. He only vaguely had a idea what was going on. "I rest my case."
