Kakarotto slowly opened his eyes and blinked away the spots dancing in his vision. He growled angrily and quickly sat up. The Saiyajin was just itching to crack Bulma's skull for the dirty move she'd pulled, and the sooner he took care of her, the sooner he could move on and kill Vegeta. Kakarotto blinked as he scanned the area around him. He was no longer in the destroyed halls of Capsule Corp like he had expected. Instead, he was in a barren wasteland that seemed to stretch on forever in all directions. The sky was black, the grass was dry and brown, and the few trees left standing were bare and broken. He knew this place all too well. This was the place he'd been trapped in for all those years. This place represented the forgotten memories of Goku. A place in his subconscious that the baka didn't even know existed... until now.
"Well, look who decided to join me." Kakarotto jumped up and spun around to face the owner of the familiar voice. Standing before him was Goku, who didn't look at all happy. The evil Saiyajin smirked, despite the fact he was furious with his current situation. In this place, he was vulnerable. He knew there was a huge chance that he could once again be trapped in this death land forever. "What? You aren't enjoying your new accommodations?" Goku folded his arms and frowned as he quickly scanned the wasteland around him. "You're not much of a decorator." Kakarotto chuckled a bit and smiled evilly at his 'twin'. "Well don't worry about that too much. You'll have plenty of time to re-model everything." "Funny. I was about to say the same thing to you." Goku muttered as he glared angrily at the other Saiyajin, whose eyes had now narrowed in determination. "I refuse to be locked in this place again! I'm simply reclaiming what is mine and I won't let a baka like you take that from me again!" Kakarotto growled. His ki spiked with each word he spoke as his anger fueled his power. He wasn't going to give up without a fight; which was something Goku was already prepared for. This would be the most important battle of the earth Saiyajin's life, and he wasn't about to lose.

"So what do you think is going on in there?" Bulma asked as she lifted one of the unconscious Saiyajin's eyelids in curiosity. Vegeta rolled his eyes as the woman lifted the other one as well. "What are you doing, onna?! Do you expect the whole thing to be displayed on his eyes like a television?!" Bulma blinked and folded her arms before glaring at the prince. "No! I was just.... Just... It's too complicated to explain to you!" "Whatever." Vegeta muttered, secretly smirking at the woman's actions. She was quite amusing to watch sometimes.
---------------------------------------------
The two Saiyajin's faced off as they each powered up. Their hair stood up in an invisible wind before flickering between gold and onyx. With a burst of light that left each Saiyajin temporarily blinded, both warrior's hair flashed into a brilliant golden color and their eyes bled from black to teal. Goku's aurora pulsed around him as he powered up to the next level, casting a golden light over the otherwise dead landscape. Kakarotto's aurora was a dark shade of blue, indicating what kind of person he was. While Goku's inner power was as bright and pure as his heart, Kakarotto's was just as dark and corrupted.
Both Saiyajins stopped powering up at the peak of level two, letting their power once again even out so it could be easily controlled. A brief stare off was all that took place between the Saiyajins before they each launched at each other. Neither wanted to draw this out any longer than necessary, so there was no room for words. The warriors clashed in an explosion of light as they exchanged blows, each striving to gain the upper hand on the other. Kakarotto growled as he landed a punch on Goku's jaw, quickly following with an uppercut to his chin. The Saiyajin's head snapped back from the impact before he delivered his own powerful attack. Goku flipped back away from the evil Saiyajin to prevent getting caught in a fury of attacks. As soon as his foot touched the ground, the Saiyajin launched himself at Kakarotto with a blinding amount of speed, tearing up the ground around him. The evil Saiyajin quickly brought his arms up in front of his face to protect himself from the onslaught of powerful blows he was sure would follow, but the impact never came.
Kakarotto slowly lowered his arms and peered into the empty landscape before him. "Wha..." The Saiyajin gasped as Goku's power level spiked behind him and began to turn to face his opponent. Before he could finish the rotation, Goku landed a roundhouse kick to his left side, then quickly spun around and delivered another kick to his right side. Kakarotto grit his teeth to prevent his pained scream from escaping his throat as he struggled to regain control over the blinding punches he was now being bombarded with. Slowly the evil Saiyajin was pushed back from the onslaught. Every time one punch would hit, another would throw him off balance before he could recover from the previous one. Kakarotto growled in frustration as he opened his eyes and peered through the blur of fists his opponent was showering on him. He could just make out the satisfied smirk on the other's lips before a particularly punishing blow threw him back. Kakarotto skidding to a stop and slowly sat up, coughing up some blood as he did so. The evil Saiyajin grit his teeth as another wave of anger swept over him. He couldn't be beaten again. He had to punish the other warrior for what he'd done. For taking what was rightfully his. And for wanting to take it back once he'd regained it.
Goku gasped in surprise as Kakarotto suddenly screamed and released another wave of energy that lit up the entire area. The Saiyajin raised his arm to protect his eyes as debris from the landscape was thrown his way. Slowly, he could feel himself being pushed backward away from the source of the energy that was rapidly growing in strength and intensity. Seconds later, the light disappeared and the screaming stopped, creating an eerie effect in the air. Before Goku could even lower his arm, he was struck with a bone crushing force. His mouth dropped open in a silent scream as he doubled over Kakarotto's fist, which was embedded right below his rib cage. All air escaped his lungs, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't inhale. He couldn't even move due to the paralyzing pain that was surging throughout his body. The only movement the evil Saiyajin could see from his opponent was the trail of blood that trickled down his chin.
Smirking in satisfaction at the pain he was causing the other Saiyajin, Kakarotto withdrew his fist and watched as the stunned warrior dropped to his knees and coughed up blood, which pooled on the ground beneath him. Before the injured Saiyajin could recover, Kakarotto spun around and delivered a bone crushing kick to the side of Goku's face, sending the Saiyajin tumbling over the barren terrain. Kakarotto's expression remained firm as he watched the other warrior finally skid to a stop some distance away, where he remained unmoving on the ground. If the evil Saiyajin got too cocky, he'd miss that Goku was still in Super Saiyajin form, and might slip up in his false victory. But he was too clever for that. He wasn't going to under-estimate someone who was a part of him, no matter how much that disgusted him.
Kakarotto slowly walked over to the motionless figure, his eyes never leaving the still form. He wasn't sure if the Saiyajin was conscious or not. If he could retain the form of Super Saiyajin while he was sleeping, then surely he could retain it while unconscious too. Kakarotto stopped once he'd reached the other Saiyajin and stared down at him. Goku was covered in blood and it looked as if the last kick he'd received had caused a serious head wound, but he'd been through worse. However, he did appear to be unconscious, and so now was the perfect opportunity to end this once and for all. Kakarotto slowly raised his open palm to the still figure on the ground and concentrated his energy until his hand began to glow with a blue aurora. As much as he'd like to make the other Saiyajin suffer, he thought it was wise to end this quickly before any unexpected surprises presented themselves.
"Goodbye, Goku." Kakarotto pushed the last of his energy into his extended palm and smirked. "Goodbye, Kakarotto." The evil Saiyajin gasped as Goku suddenly grabbed hold of his wrist and planted his foot into Kakarotto's ribcage, tossing the stunned Saiyajin over his head. Goku forced himself to his feet and spun around to face the still tumbling Saiyajin as he brought his hands together. "Kaaaaaa....meeeeee...." Kakarotto grit his teeth and forced himself to stop before jumping up and turning to face Goku, who was surrounded in a familiar blue light as he powered up for his most deadly attack. "haaaaaaaa.....meeeeee." "Kuso! There's no time!" Kakarotto yelled in frustration and began to form his own attack in his palms. Sweat tickled down his brow as he struggled to gather the energy he'd need to counter his opponent's attack. "HAAAAAA!!!!!" The evil Saiyajin's head snapped up and his eyes narrowed in horror as the huge attack hurtled toward him. In an act of desperation, Kakarotto threw his partially formed attack at the Kamehameha wave and hoped for the best.
"Well, look who decided to join me." Kakarotto jumped up and spun around to face the owner of the familiar voice. Standing before him was Goku, who didn't look at all happy.
