Parallel Existence – Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or anything to do with them. I just own this story.
Note: A major change from the normal line of Dragon Ball Z will be shown here. So, for those of you who like to stick to the regular SS levels and such, this ain't for you. But if you like a bit of change, you'll love this.
"Krillin! No!!" With a mighty blast, yet another Z-Warrior was eliminated. The victim this time was Krillin. "You'll pay. You'll pay!" Goku yelled, blasting himself off at Gnice, the evil alien who had destroyed Krillin. Gnice had come to earth a year ago, looking for destruction. He was a hunter, hired by himself, to kill every strong person on every planet he came across. When he landed on Earth, the Z- Fighters met him and the resulting battle lasted for a year. Over the months, many were picked off, and only the strongest now lived. But, even the strong have had to live in fear of Gnice.
"Ah, Goku. I thought I killed you already."
"No, I'm still here, but you'll be gone soon!" Goku attacked Gnice with the ferocity of a typhoon, and kept at him for a while. Goku, along with Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo was the only ones left living. Krillin was too, but he was just killed.
"You're still too weak, Goku! It will take far more than that to end me!" Gnice said, as he deflected every punch, kick, and blast shot by Goku. Still Goku kept at it, though. He was enraged beyond the breaking point by the death of Krillin, the second time that he witnessed it, and the first time that he was totally helpless to do anything about it. It didn't matter to him though. His warrior instinct only made him fight harder. He totally ignored the fact that Vegeta had done the same thing, and was nearly killed for it. He just kept at Gnice as if it were his last chance to win.
"I've had enough!" Gnice yelled, blasting his energy off and returning the charge at Goku. Goku was but a miniscule obstacle in the path of Gnice, but he was a very resilient one. Gnice returned the exact favors that Goku had given him; punches, kicks, and blasts, along with the occasional lecture of how weak Goku was. On the sidelines, Vegeta was about to explode with wanting to fight, but he couldn't because of his condition. He had gotten a severely fractured arm, thanks to his first mad charge of Gnice, and it wasn't going to heal very quickly. None of the doctors could operate because of their lack of ability to cut the Saiyan's skin.
After about another twenty minuets of fighting, Goku soon landed in front of the remaining Z-Fighters, a bloody pulp. "Ha! Kakarott, you fool. Aren't you the one always preaching about not making the same mistake twice?" That was Vegeta, of course.
"What are we going to do now? We can't beat him." Gohan sure was a real Krillen at times.
"You can, Gohan. If you dig deep enough you can beat him." Piccolo said, trying to get Gohan's mind on the task at hand, just like he's done for so many other people.
"I'll give it all I've got." Gohan said, blasting off to meet the monster. Gnice was awaiting Gohan's attack eagerly, and even more so, due to the fact that he had never fought Gohan. That may be a bad thing for Gohan, or a bad thing for Gnice. But anyway, after a very short trip to Gnice's location, Gohan turned up the juice of all he had. He let his rage flow freely through every punch and kick. He let his power grow with every hit he took, and after a while, he had Gnice on the ground.
"You little fool. You can't beat me!" Gnice yelled, shooting up at Gohan, and unleashing an attack just as lethal as what Gohan had just thrown. The tides were turning fast, and Gohan was taking a pretty bad beating. His body remained whole though, even though it was being put through a torture that would have turned a normal human into mulch. He finally got a break though, and squared off with Gnice once again. His anger at a peak, Gohan would take no more. Like a lightning strike, an aura engulfed Gohan that was so intense that you couldn't even see him through it. His power skyrocketed, and his rage stacked up. Soon, the aura went from golden to red. The power gusting from Gohan soon started to blow even the warriors away. His red aura mocked a star, and its power seemed to rival one.
Inside the force field of an aura, Gohan was undergoing some major changes. No one could see this, but they could tell. And then, with a finale of a blast, the aura was down enough that one could see Gohan. The aura remained red, and black electricity now encircled Gohan, but you could see him. He was far bigger than even his most powered up, and his hair was the most alarming. Instead of the golden glow of Super Saiyan, his hair was now red. It had the same fire red as his aura, and it was a great deal longer.
"What manner of insanity is this?!" Gnice yelled, beholding Gohan. The rest of the fighters couldn't even talk.
"It's over for you, Gnice." Gohan's voice was like thunder itself, and you could literally feel the power coming off of his words. At this, Gnice actually showed the first sign of a small bit of apprehension. His charge was delayed by a millisecond. But, he charged none the less, and he hit Gohan with all he had. He swung and jabbed, blasted and kicked. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch Gohan. Gohan dodged every single attack that Gnice threw, and he dodged them by a ways. When Gohan had had enough, he stopped altogether. Gnice landed a punch right on his cheek, and it sounded as if he had split the Tree of Might in half. A large cloud of dust built up over the two warriors. The rest of the fighters were left with their mouths agape. Especially Vegeta and Piccolo. They had never imagined that this could happen.
"How could this happen again? Gohan surpassed us all during the fight with Cell, and now he's done it again!" Vegeta was enraged beyond mad. About this time, the dust finally cleared. There amidst the descending cloud of dust, stood Gohan, as firm as a tree, and Gnice, with his fist implanted on Gohan's cheek. Gince's hit had done nothing to Gohan.
"Now you die." Gohan said again, scaring everyone with that God-like voice. With that, Gohan grabbed Gnice's hand in a flash, and tossed it down. This nearly dislocated Gnice's arm. Gnice stood there with a look of pure terror on his face. Gohan raised his hand, and put it right in front of Gnice's face. With another one of those moves that no one could see, Gohan's hand was around Gnice's throat. Gohan squeezed just a bit, and everyone could hear bones start to give.
"I-it's not over…y-yet!" Ginced managed to yell, as he hung dangling by Gohan's hand. Gnice's hands started to Glow with a bright blue light. "S-see if you can…can survive where I come f-from." Gnice said, the glow suddenly transferring into Gohan. Gohan looked on as he was engulfed with this strange, painless glow. Soon though, he felt a change.
The world around him was as if he was watching it on a television. But, still it changed. After a while, everything started to get slightly blurry, then, it became totally indistinguishable. Then, without warning at all, everything went black. Gohan felt as if he was speeding through somewhere with unheard of speed. He tried to move, only to find that he couldn't. He tried to use his voice, only to discover that he could hear nothing. Gohan was just starting to panic, when he felt a thump. Everything then went white, and when his eyes adjusted, he found himself on a different part of the planet.
"Where am I?" Gohan asked himself, letting himself slip back into his regular Saiyan form.
"Hold it right there!" A voice came from behind Gohan. Gohan stopped in his tracks and turned to face whoever called to him. There, standing before him, were two men in Saiyan armor. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were in fact Saiyans, judging by their tails wrapped around their waists.
"Who are you?" Gohan asked.
"I think the real question here is who are you?" One of the three Saiyans said.
"I'm Gohan." He said.
"You're in luck, boy," The Saiyan said, "You look like a good warrior, and the Prince is looking for new gladiators to compete in the games."
"Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass on your games." Gohan said, turning away from the group of Saiyans.
"I'm afraid you have no choice. Now come with us. Can you fly?"
"Fine whatever. Yeah, I can." Gohan was starting to get cocky, seeing as how these few Saiyans looked so weak, and he had better things to dwell on. Like what in the hell happened to him when fighting Gnice.
"You're pretty fast, boy. You will do good in the games." One of the Saiyans said. Gohan wasn't even doing half of his real speed. These guys were weak. They took him over the planet onto a spaceport of some sort, and landed.
"Sorry guys, but I can't go with you. I've got to fight Gnice back with my father and friends." Gohan said, as if Gnice was just a game. Of course, he was now that Gohan had his crazy transformation.
"Gnice? I thought he was dead a long time ago. The Prince put him in his place. I guess he didn't do a good enough job. But anyway, you've got to come with us." Gohan started to object, but he was quite curious about this 'prince', and since Gnice was so beat up from their fight, Vegeta or Piccolo could handle him. So, Gohan got onto the ship without a word. The Saiyans directed him to a seat, and told him to sit. He did as told, and they were off. The ship flew through space for a few hours, before starting orbit around a red planet of some sort.
"Come with us so the Prince can see what he thinks of you." The Saiyan directed, and Gohan followed. They walked past many buildings, and finally got to one that seemed to be a multitude of buildings stacked on top of each other. This was, Gohan figured, their palace or whatever that the Prince was in. The Saiyans led Gohan into the building, and into a maze of corridors before stopping at one room. "The Prince is in here. Put on your best behavior, and maybe you'll be put in a good fight." The Saiyan said, before opening the door. Who he saw inside, totally took the breath from Gohan's lungs.
"Vegeta?!"
