'Depletion and Deletion (The final betrayal?)'

When the dust cleared, Buu was gone as well as Gotenks. A sacrifice that will not go in vain.

"So Goku, it seems you need people to kill them selves just so you can survive another minute."

"Get real. I'm too strong for you and obviously your cheep tricks aren't working."(Pardon my Satan)

"But you're tired."

"Maybe, but I'm still too much for you."

"We'll see, but if it gets close, I might have to employ some assistance."

"Shut up and fight."

With a smirk, Faj began to power up. Dust and rock swirled around him. With every level of power he went up, the tornado grew larger. Finally, Faj was powered up all the way.

"What do you think? Do I have a chance?" Faj asked.

"I can't tell."

"Maybe this'll help."

Faj slid his arm over and sent the raging cyclone into Goku. He braced himself for impact, but it wasn't enough. Goku was spun around and torn apart in seconds, but the chaotic wind never stopped. Faj laughed at the screams that leaked through the cracks of Goku's singed mouth.

Goku stiffened inside the whirlwind and finally stopped. Huffing and puffing, Goku charged. He through rights and lefts, straight kicks and roundhouses, but none landed. The exchange ended with Faj kicking Goku into a pillar of granite by way of the saiyan's head. Goku stood from the rubble and charged a kamehameha. Faj braced himself for the infamous killer attack. "Ka.meh.haa.meh.ha x5!" What?

The red beam pulsed through the air, lagged by the massive energy inside it. The wave sent dirt and smoke into the atmosphere, blinding Goku momentarily. When the blast settled, Faj was staring into the saiyan's aqua eyes. "I understand." Faj said and fell backwards. Goku paced forward, and stood above the fallen warrior boy. His stare was blank, into the night sky.

"Apparently you don't understand Kakarot!" A grizzled voice shouted from afar. The rival saiyan blew into Goku with alarming quickness. The fist that rammed into the younger saiyan's solar plexus made a sick thud, cracking ribs with the impact. Goku fell backwards, speechless.

Vegeta loomed over Goku with a vicious look. Goku scraped himself to his knees, where Vegeta gave him some assistance. He wrapped his arms around Goku's body, lifted him up, and continued to hold him.

"I've waited a long time for this Kakarot."

"To be gay when I'm too weak to fight?" Goku laughed, coughing in the effort.

"Keep laughing Kakarot, but you've lost this time. And I intend to emphasize that."

"Don't do this Vegeta."

"No, I will not be defeated after all my effort, by words. People aren't supposed to come back from death. You have too many times." Vegeta squeezed Goku in his grip.

"I didn't *cough*know you cared."

"Yeah, I have always cared about you. You are a true saiyan. It's too bad it had to end this way Kakarot." Vegeta squeezed even harder.

"Ahh!!!"

"Yes, scream Goku!!" Vegeta continued to squeeze with all his might. Then, Faj stood up and joined in the murder of a hero.

"I'll take good care of Gohan for you." Faj added the last words Goku would hear. A hand pushed its way through the helpless man's head. From ear to ear, Goku was gone.

-~-_-~-

"Hey guys," Krillin began, "I can't feel Goku's energy anymore."

"Me neither," Yamucha sighed. "Maybe he wasn't training."

Part B

'Welcome to Turbine?'

A sharp hiss poured from the sleep chamber as the cryogenic cold leaked out of the tank. Gohan slowly came back to life. How long have I been sleeping? He went to the cockpit and checked the clock. The upper right hand screen read 23:05, may, 5020 AUT (alternate universe time). 5020, I went in the chamber 5058. Must be a computer glitch. *BEEP BEEP BEEP* the screen flashed and blinked, red lights strobed inside the halls.

"Computer, report."

"Three bogies approach from south horizon, armed with hyper phazers and teletron reading system."

"Haling capabilities?"

"Positive, initiate haling sequence?"

"Roger!" Gohan screamed as the ship shook from the impact a phazer charge. "And deactivate these sirens and lights for now. I'm going to have a seizure."

"We have micro-audio contact."

A burly voice shouted, "You have trespassed on the federation army zone' air space. Submit to capture and incarceration immediately or you with be treated as a hostile."

"This is Gohan of Earth in the north quadrant of the universe. I have urgent business on this planet and cannot submit due to lack of time."

"So be it." The transmission was cut and the computer indicated so. Gohan jumped into the pilot seat and activated the engagement controls.

"What is our shield level?" Gohan asked.

"99 percent and charging."

"Alright, give me max thruster control." The screen read 'engaged thrusters', 'use with discretion'. Gohan gripped the double hand bars, and kicked a black pole that attacked them into the corner of the room. He pulled them back all the way and then punched down a button on the right handle. The ship barrel rolled, and then the demi-saiyan moved the left grip left half way. The ship barrel rolled to the ground. Gohan straightened the controls and flew straight for a moment. He moved his hand to the touch screen and pulled up an enemy screen. The high-tech radar like device used the signals he received from the hale to telepatch a digital read out of where the ships were.

The closest ship was falling behind, but the back two were gaining speed fast, and would soon catch up. Gohan punched the same button on the left as he did before with the right, and pressed the right down again simultaneously. "Computer, engage after burners." Red streaks flowed into the space, and Gohan separated from the pack. But his luck wasn't going to get him out of the pickle just yet.

The ship that once trailed the other two in the pack was directly behind Gohan, and he meant business. The screen showed the charged phazers were ready to fire. I can't detonate the charge cannons while they have phazer charges active and this guy is about to hammer me. "Damn!"

Gohan pushed the handles down and the ship dropped. Ignoring the nausea, Gohan continued to maneuver to get behind the other ship. This guy moves really well for a ship of that size the pilot thought. He continued to match Gohan's movements.

"Here! We! Go!!!" Gohan yelled as he made his move. He pressed the handles down, then put on the after burners and killed the flight again. All off a sudden; Gohan slammed a switch on the board. The switch was labeled "SCRAM" and had a glass case over it. When activated, the ship blacked and began to fall into the planet's atmosphere. Behind Gohan's ship, a magnetic tech-green wall existed and the trailing fighter slammed through it. His craft took after Gohan's and fizzled into the atmosphere, but much faster.

Gohan grabbed the switch and pulled it back up until he could feel the click. Then he gripped the handles and pulled back and down. The ship started falling nose to the stars. "Computer, engage hyper thruster commands."

"Engaged."

Gohan pushed in a switch on his left handle and turned both handles inward. The pivot revved the thrusters into action. A blue jet stream rattled the engine as it shot out. In just seconds the craft was out in space again, so Gohan released the button and controls.

"Finally, but how will I land?" Gohan's question was soon answered when his engines were shot out. "Shit!" Gohan activated the hyper thrusters again and plummeted into the atmosphere of Turbine. "Shit shit shit shit SHIT!!!" Gohan broke through layer after layer of atmosphere very quickly, but the ship still over heated.

"Computer mal.func..ssion." An overheated machine voice bellowed.

Soon Gohan floated in the middle of the ship, gasping for breath. He could feel the ship knocking over rock and tumbling through the forests. The ship came to a rest and Gohan ran to the door. He kicked the door but it stayed solid, his boot felt the effects with a melted bottom.

"Masenko-Ha!" The orange Ki crashed the door down. Gohan struggled through the door, and glanced around. His head pounded and vision blurred. The last thing he saw was a tree, and then lights out.



Sorry this chap took sooo long to put out, but man, Linux is horribly hard to do word processing on. I am getting XP profession soon, so the chapters will and I repeat WILL be coming out faster. Also, read my favorite reviewer's story. Lost Chronicle.. Zech's name is in the reviews, so go there and review and then go to his story. I beg you, review, flame, even spam if u want to. Just put something down. I need the ego boost.

I am going to camp jeep this next week, so nothing for a while unless I stay at a hotel, but I'll be camping I think. When I get back, I promise a flood of chapters.

Uubu: "I want to be in the story!"

Me: stop whining you baby.

Uubu: *growls

Me: don't hurt me *sucking my thumb.

Bulma: was that an attempt at showing some feeling?

Me: don't get your hopes up woman.
