PART A 'The Tale of the Relics of Kaio'
Gohan boomed through the endless night that is space. The only light was generated by fission of stars light-years away. Gohan had engaged his cryogenic sleep compartment, to preserve his present condition for the long journey through the vast nowhere. His destination was a planet deep in the darkness of the south quadrant, Turbine. This was where the signal for the next relic was coming from. The first relic, Faj's amulet, could be used as a locator. Much like the dragon radar finds the magical balls. Gohan had been told that each relic could be worn. Each would give the wearer a special strength. The half saiyan didn't know what each did, but he did know that having one of the three so soon was a good start.
When he was on his own for the year after Videl's death, a Kaio had spoken to Gohan. The young saiyan found out that you could make people come back other ways than the dragonballs. Gohan knew that since the balls were inactive for more than the normal one year, but not how many years. This may be his only sure hope.
The mystery Kaio told Gohan a tale of four sacred items, the same items that the creators of the universe wore. For the longest time, the items were hidden outside of the universe. The relics lie hidden in the dead space that God's were once born in; Gods and Devils. One student of a master wizard Kaio was especially gifted. He had the power to change things that could have otherwise not have been touched by magic. He had the strength to create things, things just short of what Gods could do. This man's name was Di. Di used the empty space outside the universe to create a world where evil would run free, and the good world would live free of this evil. He called it the shadow world. In the shadow world, he watched over to make sure things remained normal. To his demon people, he was God. He had endless power in this place. Eventually, he even came to believe he was God.
Because Di used the empty space where the relics were hidden, he could find them. He searched years, in this parallel universe for the items, and used up his life. By the time he was ready to die, he had only three relics. He had to proceed now, or never. He chose now.
His attack against the reign of Kaio was swift and effective. He gained rule over two quadrants of the universe, North and South. The demon armies destroyed the ruling Kaios, and replaced them. The people among the planets were oblivious to the war taking place above them. By the time this happened, Di was too weak to continue the onslaught.
First, a Kaio by the name of Micturi defeated his Northern demon armies. The reigning King of the demon armies lost his relic to this Kaio, and it was lost somewhere in the void of the North quadrant.
And soon after the South quadrant fell as well as another relic. Di was 50,000 eons old and too weak to fight. He instead retired the battle and went to rest in the otherworld. Soon after his armies returned to the shadow world, and it became the demon world, ruled by Dabura the Great, King Dabura I. The relic of the demon world was never searched for and was forgotten.
When Di passed, his remaining relic was lost in the after life. Di promised that if the war failed, he would find a way to finish it. If his son failed, then he would do it himself. His son was a disappointment and only wanted to avenge his father by hitting the Kaios where it hurts the most, the universe below. Bibidi used his sorcery to slaughter people throughout the universe and destroy worlds. His plans were also foiled.
I hope I can find the other relic as fast as I found this one Gohan thought. The South quadrant was a place of many strong warriors, and a place of many evils. Dark civilizations still remained from the war's influence. It would take some effort to avoid such conflicts with these people, especially if they lived on Turbine.
PART B 'A Simple Twist of Fate'
"I really didn't kill Vegeta." Faj declared proudly. Goten turned and saw a bloody Trunks lying in the dirt, the plasma of his body dripping into a pile of mud from his temples. "You killed him." Goten muttered in disbelief. "Well he isn't like us Goten. He was bad, and made you look bad." "He wasn't bad. He was my friend." "He only made you think he was your friend." "No." "Would a real friend get you in trouble with your parents? Would a real friend tease you because you are less educated? Would a real friend slam you into a rock? By the way, has that wound healed yet?" "How do you know about that?" Goten demanded. "I can't even answer that. But I can tell you this, I can be your friend." "No." Goten said under his breath. "I can play tag with you." "No." "What do you say?" "I say you're worse than you make Trunks out to be." Goten barked as his rage fueled him into the air. "I say you can't be a real friend." A tear ran down Goten's cheek. "I say you need to be taught a lesson!" Goten took a swing at Faj that landed on the hard chin of Faj's fuzzy head. Faj just stared forward into a void created by his mind.
Goten jumped back and pumped himself into the second stage of a saiyan's legendary power. His golden aura shattered a distant mountain and Goten felt rejuvenated by his anger. He vanished into the void that Faj pictured. Goten reappeared with a blistering kick into Gohan's pupil's kidney. Faj cringed as blood seeped into his urinary tract. He too fueled himself with anger and kicked back from the nowhere warriors went. Goten let out a cry as he crunched over and spewed blood and vomit from his mouth. He could feel his muscles in his stomach deteriorate and his nerves begged him to give up.
Goten ignored his better sense and retaliated with a full scale kamehameha. Somehow, he even managed to say it correctly. Faj slapped away the blue beam with ease and began to toy with the lesser powerful 12 year-old. Faj slapped the saiyan boy from mountain to pillar in the desolate battle ground. Faj watched the battered Goten climb to his feet with the assistance of a tree and couldn't help but feel disappointed. He was disappointed that a warrior as determined as this wouldn't see the light. Goten wouldn't realize that Faj was right. Goten is a fool. He doesn't deserve Gohan.
Faj destroyed the massive brown oak with a pulse of energy and grabbed the demi-saiyan by the throat. He hoisted the black haired fighter into the air. "I will give you a ceremonial last chance to change your mind." Faj announced with pain in his voice. Goten responded with a wad of saliva and vomit. Fool Faj thought.
Raising an arm, Faj ended Goten's misery. As the green energy split the body of Goten a voice was heard from the distant heavens. A voice of pain, followed by a body of hope arrived. "Goten?" The tall saiyan father spoke. "GOTEN!!! Who are you?" "I'm Faj. Who might you be?" The boy asked with a childish grin. "I'm Goku." The grim muscle man said lowly. "Goku, I have wanted to meet you for a while. I am Gohan's student. I have heard so much." "Gohan taught you to do this?" Goku growled. "Well no, he taught me to fight. Fight for justice I might add." "What justice is there in killing my son?" Goku said as he powered up. Goku's long golden hair pushed straight back in the clash of auras. He didn't want an answer, he wanted his own justice. Faj grew in power as well.
Goku put forth a fist, and retracted it on contact with Faj's forearm. "I can't feel your energy, but I knew you were strong because you killed Goten." "I'm surprised you don't mourn his death so much that you would have trouble strategizing. Perhaps you know I'm right." Goku frowned and pressed the attack. He threw flurries of punches and then clusters of kicks. How can he be this strong? "I'm surprised you're this weak." "What, you can read my thoughts?" Then a voice grew in his head, 'Oh yes, and much much more.'
Faj laughed as Goku punched himself in the shoulder, feeling the joint shatter under his own massive power. "Who are you?" "I don't know all these things! I don't KNOW!!!"
Faj punched Goku into a mountain. Goku flew back at Faj but stopped within feet of the boy. Goku struggled to resist his opponents bidding. Faj pulled back on his hand. Goku stuck out his index finger and formed a ball of gold light. Hands pressed against Goku's chest, Faj willed the finger to its owner's temple. Goku pulled his head back. His head, ironically, seemed to be the only thing under his control. In a moment, his hand fell and his eyes opened. In front of him was somebody else. A pink and rather wide somebody. And Faj lie on the ground, buried in a hill of dirt. "Mr. Buu!" Goku rejoiced. "THa..." Goku's expression of gratitude was cut of by a green bolt of Ki. It struck the putty in the neck and Buu fell. "It's a shame I had to do that." Faj announced as he grew to his feet from a patch of grass. "You're sick. That's the only way to describe you." Goku hissed quietly. "Sick? I beg to differ. I am not sick, just a visionary. The only reason I killed Buu was that he interfered with our fight. He was just as good a being as you. It isn't too late for you Goku. All you have to do is stop fighting." "You are insane; I can never forgive you for this." "So be it." Faj charged at Goku, with rage in his eyes. Goku charged at Faj, with no sense of reality left in his world, he was going all out.
Goku strode in with a double kick to Faj's small head and hammer-fisted Faj in the spine. The young body shook as if having a seizure, but stopped when a Kamehameha smashed him into the rubble of Earth. Faj rose from his grave in the globe and fired a green Kamehameha back at the stage three super saiyan. Goku didn't even notice the meager wave hit his chest and rush onto him. How could this weak fighter even be a challenge to Goten?
"I see you are too strong for head on combat Goku." "So you give up?" Goku laughed knowing this was not the case. "No, I just think it might be better to have head on head on head combat."
Faj focused his energy outside him and shaped its spirit and body with his mind. The misshapen forms soon showed resemblance of men. And soon it was clear, they weren't men but boys. "Goten and Trunks!" Goku shouted in disbelief. "Yes Goku, they belong to me now." The two super saiyans charged at Goku, with Ki blasts and limbs in every direction. Goku felt he could do nothing but dodge. The onslaught never ceased and the boys never took a breath, but Goku needed one badly. Continuing to dodge, Goku placed a finger on his head and disappeared. Both boys immediately looked up, simultaneously charging Ki waves of destruction. Goku breathed heavily, uninterrupted for seconds. Finally the boys released their waves at Goku. The waves crashed at the super powered soldier with ungodly speed, jade light tearing the air like bullets.
Before the Ki struck Goku again disappeared, and the boys' heads rotated backwards and were annihilated by fists of wrath from Goku. The tall saiyan warrior stood over his fallen son and friend. Faj inhaled the energy and began with confidence, "How did you know?" "The green Ki is yours. They never knew how to make green Ki. In fact, neither do I." "That makes four of us; but after this, three."
Once again energy amassed in front of Faj. The boy's short hair stuck straight up with a green glow. The white light took form of a short man with a vest, a fusion vest. The medium length golden hair stuck straight up, and the aura pushed back the maker.
"I don't believe it, you can imitate fusion?" "Yeah, what ever I want."
Suddenly, Gotenks released a green Kamehameha at his partial father. A blue combatant Kamehameha crashed against it and forced the green Ki back at its owner. Then the green wave pushed the blue back. The waves stopped even in the middle of the conjoined Ki. Teeth gritting, Goku took a big risk. He assaulted Faj with Ki from his eyes. The red lasers shot past Faj and into a river. The green wave of Gotenks' Ki crashed into Goku like a car into a brick wall. Goku was slowly forced backward into a pillar of rock.
After a few seconds the beam released. Goku fell to the dirt with the shirt ripped off of him. A black undershirt with a hole in the center was left on his chest. Gotenks approached the fallen hero without emotion. The ghost powered up to super saiyan three and prepared a beam to exterminate the savior of earth. Goku's stomach turned when he realized he could do nothing. A raised arm was inches from his eye when a light exploded.
Wincing at the brightness, Goku looked to his left and saw Buu, ignited in a star of fission. Goku instinctively knew what was happening. "No." Goku jutted with regret and helplessness in his eyes as the whole battlefield disappeared in an explosion of radiation.
Okey-Dokey That was a fun chapter to write. I couldn't wait to reveal the real plot. If you think the story's almost over, well it's ready to begin. To answer the reviewer: Yes, I know that the gravity going up thing was real fast, but Faj slept longer than you think. You were supposed to figure that out by how much his hair had grown. Sorry I didn't make it clearer. Plus, I was getting board of that and wanted to get to the good stuff. I'm just about in the good stuff. The story is only ΒΌ the way through, so enjoy. Please give me some advice in the reviews or just say how good the story is. Yeah, I'm conceited. But I have a good reason to be.
