Chapter 23: Two Violent Battles, Two Shattered Planets.
Goku squared off against his opponent, the tall and broad commander of the legions rampaging across the planet Namek, destroying all life upon it's surface in their hunt for the Dragonballs, six of which lay temptingly within Goku's reach. All Goku had to do was grab the container and use Instant Transmission to get the hell out of there without having to even lay a finger on Omega, but that would leave the warlord angry and out for revenge, a revenge that would be taken out on the remaining Namekian populace.
That was not an option in Goku's opinion. Omega had to be stopped, and here he was, challenging Goku to a fight with fool's courage, or arrogant stupidity. Goku couldn't decide which. Even as he though this, the arrogant lord rolled his head, stretching the muscle sin his neck as he prepared for the fight of his life, long-fingered hand clenching into fists as Omega flicked his head to his right, a loud series of clicks and cracking noise issuing from the limb.
"Are you ready to die?" Omega issued, pulling himself into a fighting stance, holding one hand up to his chest, fist clenched, the other held out to the side, fingers stretched and pointed with gnarled claw-like nails.
"Let's do this," Goku said, limbering up and throwing several slow punches.
Omega was the first to initiate the fight, and charged across the floor, his sudden burst of speed throwing off the un-prepared Goku, expecting this man to be no more powerful than those villains he had already vanquished on the planet. The Saiyan dropped to the left as a clawed hand thrust forward with a blur, then dropped low and pushed himself upwards as a foot kicked across and then down.
"You're fast, I'll give you that," Omega hissed, throwing his arm up in an uppercut to try and snatch Goku from the air, his pail hand missing as Goku tossed his head aside to evade the blow.
"You're not that slow yourself," Goku commented as he evaded a knife-hand chop aimed for his throat, then shot out his hand and grasped the dark sleeve of Lord Omega. The pail-skinned man gave a snarl and twisted his hand around, grasping Goku by the forearm and they began a one-handed tug of war at each other's bodies. Slowly, Omega began pulling Goku towards him, and the dark blur of the man's punch narrowly missed Goku's face.
Releasing each other, Goku backed off and shook himself down, flexing his arm muscles, as Omega stood tall, almost gloating at what he deemed a small victory.
"You're smiling far too early," Goku said, smiling softly, "this fight is far from over!"
"The same could be said for you!" Omega said, again suddenly charging at Goku. This time Goku didn't have time to evade the attack as Omega's fist lashed out and struck Goku in the face, sending the Saiyan warrior back a step, his head turned to the side by the force of the blow. Omega stood back, grinning again, opening and closing the hand that had struck Goku so.
"Give up now, and I'll kill you quickly," Omega taunted. Goku turned his head slowly, showing his face, something that shocked Omega.
"What! You… you're not even marked!" he cried in disbelief, and watched Goku's grin widen.
"If that is the most you have to offer, then I may as well finish you here and now. I'm not even using a fraction of my strength for this fight!" Goku jeered.
"Argh! I'll show you, you insolent primate!" Omega roared, the glow in his eyes rising significantly. Goku watched for a moment as the colour of Omega's face slowly palled even more than usual, and then noticed the darkness sweeping in around them.
"What the…" Goku muttered, looking about as shadows seemingly swept across the floor and towards Omega, where they rose into a column of dark fire that surrounded the warrior's body, hiding the warlord completely, except for two points of red light that burned through the darkness.
"Bare witness, mortal! For you are about to see the form no one has seen in ages past and lived to talk about it!" Omega roared, his voice changing drastically, no longer the smooth articulation of a noble, but the deep, booming, raw voice of something unleashed, something primal and dangerous. Goku felt his body tightening and his heart rate quickening as adrenalin coursed through his body, fuelling his muscles for the fight a head, for he had noticed a dangerous burst in Omega's power level. It was soaring higher and higher quicker than anything Goku had ever seen, in the space of several seconds, Omega had ascended to something more powerful than a Super Saiyan, and his power level was still rising rapidly.
Narrowing his eyes, Goku looked at the heaving mass of billowing, dark-flamed shadow that stood before him, and smiled grimly.
"That's an impressive transformation, but now you get to see mine!" Goku's hair rose and shone with a brilliant golden light and golden energy rose around him, then exploded out into his aura, loose stones, pieces of equipment and even metal plates from the floor decking rising up around him.
Omega watched, his face smug hidden behind the wreathing mass of shadow-flames that coated his body, and he began to chuckle, something hideous and more ancient than the stars themselves.
"So, finally the Universe has another Super Saiyan, I expected something more than just a pathetic change in hair colour!" Omega snarled, his power level continuing to soar. Goku closed his eyes, letting his senses tell him what his opponent is doing, and allowed his self to feed more power into his body, taking it from his kai reserves and letting it flow through his muscles and mind, the result being an explosion of power and the transformation into an Ascendant Super Saiyan.
Omega still continued to fuel his body, but he was aware that the monkey's power level had just soared over his own, and he cursed, increasing his own power level at a faster rate. Goku looked up as the flames about Omega began to deepen, if that was possible. Could the hue of the shadows burning around this warlord possibly grow any darker? It was as though they were made out of darkness itself, as though the shadows fused together and poured around his body creating a shell of nothingness, except for those two points of light where Omega's eyes would have been.
Then an explosion of light washed across the room, burning Goku's retinas sufficiently enough for him to narrow his eyes to peer into the brightness, and what he saw came as a shock to him. Red flames roared around the form of Omega, the shadows still boiling and heaving around his body, and those shadow-flames themselves seemed to be coated in a red blanket of burning fire. And if that was not enough, two great wings of flame and shadow stretched out from Omega's back, their size great enough to span the entire hall, and still this demon's power level continued to soar.
There was nothing Goku could do, he would have to power up to his maximum potential, and fight the Demon as a third-stage Super Saiyan, despite the sapping it would do to his energy levels.
"Goku! Gaze upon me, Omega, Demon Lord as yet un-taken by the forces of good! For I am a Balrog! Demon of shadow and flame, herder of Dragons and tyrant of the universe!" Omega roared, those two points of light in the shadow narrowing and casting their gaze across the hall to the Saiyan.
"Your tyranny ends here, demon!" Goku cried as his body hunched over and he gave a cry, his aura flaring brightly and becoming as bright as the light cast from the Demon. Goku's body shuddered and shook as he increased his energy as much as possible, bringing it to the heights of his being, and then some. The hair upon his head began to grow, slowly at first, and then with another roar of power, it lengthened down his body to his waits, and with an almighty flash of golden energy so brilliant it appeared white, Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan Three.
The Saiyan looked up with the green around green eyes, buried under those hairless brows that bulged with muscles as he turned his own gaze upon the Balrog, and he glared.
"I will destroy you," Goku said, his voice low and menacing, and the shadows beneath the flames stirred at the very sound of them.
"I think not, Saiyan," Omega retorted shifting his weight beneath the cover of his darkness, preparing for the fight.
Goku looked upon the Demon and sneered as he gauged the enemy's level of energy, and he let his attention fall upon the container holding the Dragonballs, less the one he had found and hidden near the Namekian village.
"One thing before we battle… how do you know about the Super Saiyans?"
"I already told you, youngling! I am older than many of the stars in the heavens, and I knew of the Saiyan race when it was gleam in Universe's eye. I was present eons before the creation of Buu, and I saw its capture and re-birth on Earth. I know of Oonion, and I know of the legacy he left for the Galaxy.
Do you really think I would have let your little race live if I thought they posed a threat? "Oonion was more powerful than you, and I bested him without effort a thousand years ago. Do you come to fall at my hand, boy?" Omega sneered.
"No, I come to destroy you," Goku answered.
"I see. Then prepare for your demise."
"Shut up, you talk more than Cell."
"Who…" Goku had already struck Omega before he had time to finish his sentence, sending the Demon Lord staggering back, his path marked by a trail of darkness and fire. When the Balrog picked himself from the floor, Goku was already waiting for him, slamming both hands down in a sledgehammer blow across the back of the neck, which send Omega sprawling back across the floor. Not allowing for the demon to push itself from the floor, Goku charged forward and brought his foot back, and then sent it flashing forwards in a kick that picked up the demon and slammed it through the decks of the space craft and out through the top, into the bright Namekian sky.
"Argh! Curses on you, Saiyan!" Omega roared, and flung his hand forward. There was no scream, no shouting and no impressive build up of energy. A black blast of energy simply rushed from the Balrog's hand and towards Goku, who watched with fascination as the beam of shadow lined by flame shot towards him.
The Saiyan braced himself, counting under his breath, and with the cry of "Now!" he jumped aside and shot up through the whole ripped through the ship by Omega as the black attack slammed into the decking of his starship, rendering the bulkheads and rupturing the hull. A whole side of ship exploded outwards behind Goku as he slammed his fist once again into Omega's face, then as the blast wave from the ship's engine core hit the two warriors, Goku slammed his right knee up and into the Demon's gut.
Omega wretched momentarily, but it gave Goku the time he needed to fetch his left knee up and into the Balrog's exposed throat. Omega staggered back in the air, clutching at his damaged gullet as it gasped for air, then turned its attention back to Goku.
"You've made your final attack, Saiyan! It's time I destroyed your race once and for all!"
"Oh, really?" Goku asked, hovering in the air, his stance casual as he eyed the demon with his green eyes.
"I'll crush you!" Omega snarled, and charged forward, but Goku was ready, and dodged aside easily, catching the Demon from behind with a rapid series of punches to the lower back, Goku's knuckles crushing against the Balrog's kidneys with blow after solid blow. Again, Goku brought his right knee up and around, slamming it into the side of Omega's gut, sending the Demon spinning through the air with a grunt of pain.
Goku chased after Omega, and brought both his fists around and slammed the Demon down, sending the fire and shadow-covered being hurtling to the ground. Though moments before he struck the ground, Goku appeared and kicked the Demon back up into the air. Cupping his hands by his waist, he narrowed his eyes and started to gather the energy he needed for this attack.
"KAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEE…"
Omega pitched in the air and spun about, locking his eyes on Goku as a great build up of glowing blue energy blotted out the Saiyan, crouching in the air, several metres above the ground.
"No! You can't destroy me!" Omega roared and brought both hands before him, a large build up of black energy forming around them, and then bursting into flame. The blast shot forward in a large lance of energy that spewed forth towards the lone Saiyan on the ground below him.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Goku screamed, flinging his hands out and up, his long golden hair blowing wildly in the breeze sent back in recoil as his attack wave sped forwards and upwards. There was a large blast of power as both attacks collided in the air, a massive shockwave blasting out from the point and eating away the earth for several miles, forming yet another crater that would in time form another perfectly round crater on the surface of Planet Namek.
Goku gritted his teeth and fed more power into his attack, the blue-white blast pushing upwards, and then ripping through Omega's black lance of energy, and striking his foe square upon the chest, rendering the dark Balrog asunder. The demon hit the ground with a cry; of anger more than pain, and rocks were thrown into the air as a cloud of rose in the area. Omega quickly stood, clutching at a wound in his chest where he had been stricken by Goku's Kame-Hame-Ha, and he glared out through the shadow, flame and dust that surrounded him.
His sharp eyes picked out another flare of energy coming down from above him, and he quickly dove aside, sending up a shot of his own, hoping to score at least one more strike against his foe. But it was not to be so.
The black blast of power missed Goku by a wide angle, and the Saiyan dove down into the cloud of dust and smoke that came from Omega's impact into the hard Namekian floor. With a sudden surge of power, Goku cleared the area, and spying the Warlord, he advanced on him.
"I've asked you nicely, I've even threatened you, now I'm telling you. Give me the Dragonballs!" Goku hissed at the Balrog as he proceeded, step by step, towards the foul Demon, which backed away as Goku drew near. "Well? You've seen my power now, and I can go a lot higher, if you'd let me," the Saiyan growled as he converged on Omega.
"You… you won't defeat me!" the Balrog Lord stuttered, faltering on his own words. Goku allowed a slight smile to creep over his face, and then he vanished. Omega turned around quickly, and his face twisted up into a visage of shock and pain as something heavy struck him in the gut, punching through his armour and into his living flesh. He looked down, and saw a glowing fist embedded in his body, just below the final tip of his sternum, pale – almost milky - blood being tossed into the air by the golden aura flaring about the arm as it slowly retracted.
"I wouldn't be to sure about that," Goku sneered, shaking his hand absentmindedly to release the blood caught on his flesh. Omega looked at his damaged trunk once gain, and staged backwards as blood flowed freely down his armour and started to splash against the ground, staining the soil and the earth for eternity. The trickle soon became a stream, and Omega's strength began to wane.
"I… I can not be killed…" Omega gasped finally, his legs shaking as they failed him, and eventually he dropped to his knees, blood splashing the floor heavier as it was jostled from his body.
"You put up a good fight, but you are nothing. The age of demons has ended, now it's turn for the Saiyans," Goku said, in a very Vegeta-like manner, and then turned away and headed back towards the Balrog's ship.
Behind him, kneeling on the ground, Omega finally collapsed as the white blood flowed from his body, creating a white stain that would mark his fall until the end of time.
** * ** * **
Goku powered down from Super Saiyan 3 before it sapped too much energy, then ripped the doors from their runners and finally re-emerged in the central chamber, Omega's private vault it seemed, and looked about. The place had really been torn up during the battle, as deck plates were lying in a disorganized pile across the floor, a large hole smashed through the rear wall the larger sign of a recent struggle in the chamber. Goku scanned the room, looking for the container that held the much-desired Dragonballs that he had spend the better part of a day, Goku reckoned, - he was unsure as it was hard to reckon time on Namek, and he didn't wear a watch - searching for the golden balls that had the power to grant three wishes to those who managed to summon the eternal dragon.
Goku wondered briefly how the whole dragon-in-the-balls-thing worked, because you needed all seven balls, so that must mean that a part the dragon was each one of the balls…
Goku shuddered when the thought of being split into seven different parts and being stored in seven different balls that are scattered across the planet they're on.
Scanning the room's remains, Goku finally noticed the container that Omega had said the Dragonballs were kept in, and he reached down, taking the container by the handle-grip, picking it up easily, taking one last look at the ship he'd just fought in before powering up and flying off, leaving the smashed stellar craft lying behind him as he flew over the Namekian plains and deserts, watching troop movements scuttle this-way and that in the carnage that the Super Saiyan had left behind him.
Looking a head, Goku saw the forest approaching quickly, and soon he was flying through the trees, weaving left and right, ducking and rising as he avoided the bows and branches of the large timbres that blurred towards him, around him, and away from him as he sped onwards, towards the spot where he buried the seventh ball, the one that would, when re-united with its six brothers, summon the great Porunga, the great creature of the Namekian Dragonballs.
Looking around, Goku soon realised he was nearing the area where he left the Dragonball, and reaching into his pocket, he took out the radar, the green display screen bleeping regularly, a red triangle marking the spot of the last of the balls. Goku looked around, left and right, then back at the little display and headed westwards, zipping through the trees and keeping an eye on the radar.
Skidding to a halt, Goku back tracked several paces and headed North for a several moments, before finally coming to a halt and scouting the ground for the spot where he left his ball. He found it, and gave a triumphant whoop of joy as he dug in with both hands and wrenched the large golden orb from the ground.
"Yes, I have them all! This is so coo…"
"Kakkarot!" a voice barked, surprising Goku and causing him to drop the Dragonball on his foot.
"Argh! Ow, ow, ow! Vegeta? What are you doing here?" Goku asked, hopping on one foot whilst clutching the sore foot in both hands.
"I'm not there, you idiot! I'm dead!" Vegeta scorned.
"Oh no, what happened?" Goku asked, dismayed.
"There'll be time for that later, I just need you to wish me back when you make the wishes, that's all," Vegeta said, more calmly than Goku had heard him in a long time.
"Sure thing, Vegeta. Just leave it to me!" Goku said cheerfully.
"Good, just do it soon. These…" Goku heard Vegeta sigh. "These gods are giving me a headache."
"Is King Kai there?" Goku asked, brightening up.
"I'm here, Goku," came a second familiar voice.
"Wow, great! So what's happening?" Goku asked, excited to hear from his friend and sensei.
"Oh nothing, we had a bit of scare earlier, but I think Vegeta's been calmed sufficiently enough," King Kai replied, the sound of a snort coming from the background.
"Enough of this, we don't have much time left, you old fool!" Vegeta snapped.
"What's wrong?" Goku asked, an ill feeling creeping up in his gut. Vegeta was normally impatient, but this sort of straight-to-the-point action from the prince often meant something was wrong.
"You remember the wishes we had agreed on?" Vegeta asked quickly.
"Yes, of course I do," answered Goku.
"We need to modify them. Brolli is taking apart the earth! If we don't hurry…" Vegeta let the sentence hang shot, and Goku swallowed.
"I understand. What do you want me to say?"
"Listen very carefully, Kakkarot, and say this exactly to the Namekian dragon," Vegeta said, before reciting the three wishes to Goku. A little time passed, and Goku frowned.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Kakkarot, just do what I say! Now hurry up and make this god damn wishes!" Vegeta roared, then the link was broken, leaving Goku standing in the woodland with a throbbing right foot.
** * ** * **
Gohan panted on the floor, blood slowly trickling out his mouth and down to his chin, where it fell to the floor slowly, forming another puddle in the dirt.
"Get up," a voice said from behind him.
Gohan spun around, his silver aura blurring as he did, and then looked up into the dark green eyes of Tomatta.
"Tomatta…" the lad gasped, the silver light in his eyes waning slightly as his strength became duller and duller.
"It's alright, you've done enough for now. That last blast must have sent him to the other side of the Earth," the taller Saiyan said, putting a hand on Gohan shoulder.
"Yeah… last time we put him through the sun," Gohan muttered, wiping the blood from around his mouth.
"Hmm… well, last time you weren't as powerful as you are now," Tomatta rumbled, catching Gohan's words.
The lad nodded, and his cousin turned him, leading him away from the battle zone and back to where the others were waiting for him. A sudden rise in power made both warriors pause in their tracks and turn around. The rock face exploded outwards with a blinding flash of green light, and a tattered and bloodied figure stepped out, his mouth shut tight as blood ran down from his torn lips and a large gash along his right cheek.
"Going so soon?" Brolli asked, looking at the pair with those cold dead eyes.
"Why don't you just stay dead?!" Gohan shouted in dismay as he powered up. Beside him, Tomatta growled and his aura flared around him, the lightning around his body intensifying.
"No… run… get out of here!" Gohan growled as he glowed brighter, but Tomatta never shifted.
"I'm staying here," he replied, tensing himself.
"And so am I," piped a voice from the other side of Gohan. The Mystic Super Saiyan looked down and saw Gotenks grinning back at him.
"Gotenks…" Gohan started, but the fusion just kept grinning.
"How sweet, one big happy family," Brolli rumbled, then charged towards the three, a psychotic grin etched onto his lips. Brolli twisted in the air, then swung his arm out in a lightning-fast punch that Tomatta barely blocked. The next punch caught him under the ribs, sending the grown man sprawling into the dirt with flailing limbs and a short cry of pain.
Gotenks growled and took a deep breath of air, his chest and cheeks bulging at the amount of gas drawn into his small body. Brolli gave the Chibi a slight glance, and then ducked as Gohan's foot scythed through the air, brushing the thick golden-green locks of his hair.
Still grinning, Brolli slammed his fist upwards with a blur of speed, but hit nothing but empty space as Gohan spun away, landing with ease, though clutching at his chest. Brolli leapt back as Gohan's fist slammed in, brushing past his face and then twisting, the punch turning into a rapid sideways strike that caught the Brolli in the cheek. Brolli reared back; ready to strike at Gohan, when something exploded into his stomach, knocking the Saiyan back.
"What the hell?!" Brolli asked, shocked at what he saw. Several ghost-like figures were milling about the canyon floor, each one grinning, and each one with a strong resemblance to Gotenks.
"Ghosts, attack!" the Fusion cries, pointing at Brolli.
"What is this, a ghost-train?" Brolli asked as the ghost's charged in screaming, some pulling faces at the Saiyan monster, who roared and charged a blast of kai in his right hand, grasping the glowing orb of green energy. As the first ghost came nearer, he brought his arm about with a blur of speed, releasing the ball. Gohan had the sense to dive out the way as the green bolt split into hundreds of smaller bolts and peppering the ground with large explosions, taking out a large number of Gotenks' kamikaze ghosts. Some survived, and they ploughed into Brolli one after the other, exploding violently on contact and tossing the Saiyan away and dumping him on the floor.
Tomatta picked himself up from the ground and charged towards where Brolli had fallen. He grew nearer and drew his foot back, then with a cry of anger, he slammed the limb forward and sunk his foot into the beast's flank, sending Brolli across the canyon. Floor
Brolli bounced to his feet and looked up at the three glaring with a ragefull expression. Snarling and hissing like a cat, he sprang away towards Tomatta, the weaker of the three by far.
"Uncle Tom!" Gotenks cried out, watching with horror as Brolli's elbow slammed into the older Saiyan's gut, doubling him over so that the brute could bring his knee up and into the Saiyan's face. There was a loud crack as Brolli's kneecap connected with Tomatta's face, the slightly smaller Saiyan being flipped backwards with the force of the blow. As Tomatta descended, Brolli swung around and kicked out at Tomatta's body, the impact doubling Tomatta over Brolli's powerful leg before being tossed away into a canyon wall with an explosion or rock and dust.
"You monster!" Gotenks and Gohan screamed in unison, then both attacked in unison. Brolli looked left and right as both attackers pounced at him, and grinned as he pitched his head this way and that, avoiding the blows easily enough. The Saiyan monster moved suddenly, pushing Gohan's arm away and kicking him aside in the same movement, then turned on Gotenks. The Fusion gritted his teeth and leapt up at Brolli, brining his knees up with all the force he could muster.
Brolli sneered as he simply caught the fusion by the throat and looked at him, narrowing his eyes as Gotenks thrashed and squirmed in Brolli's enormous grip.
"What type of creature are you?" Brolli asked, tightening his hold around Gotenks' throat.
"I… I am your destruction…" Gotenks gasped.
"I see… " Brolli said coldly, the grip tightening still. "So, tell me, creature. How can you destroy me if you cannot breath?"
Gotenks grinned. "Just you watch."
Brolli opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a wavering in the air as Gotenks split apart into the two children, Goten and Trunks, and dived away him. Brolli spun around, and then grunted as two knees were slammed into his flanks, crushing him slightly.
"What the hell was that?!" he gasped as he backed away, the two Chibi's jumping to the side and then leaping in, fists flying as they tried to crack Brolli's defences.
"That was the end of phase one," Trunks said.
"Yeah, and now it's time you saw phase two!" Gohan cried out from above. Brolli turned his attention up just in time to see Gohan descend, slamming his right foot into Brolli's face. Gohan hung in the air for a moment, then started kicking Brolli with devastatingly quick blows to the head and face, the beast's face being slammed from side to side as Gohan's white aura burned all around him.
Goten leapt in and drove his knee deep into Brolli's gut as trunks rose up and started punching at the brute's face in time with Gohan's kicks, pinning the Saiyan between the proverbial rock and a hard place. The three Saiyans gave it all they had, pinning the much larger and more powerful man between them as their fists and legs blurred.
"NOW!" Gohan cried again, and all three jumped back, leaving Brolli somewhat dazed and bleeding from the face.
"Kame-hame-ha!"
"Final Flash!" all three cried at once, the blue, the golden, and blinding white blasts all crashing into Brolli at once, sending up a large explosion of energy that ate away what was left of that part of the canyon. The three backed away, shielding their eyes and rocks and boulders were tossed through the air on the energy currents, and then waited.
"You'll pay for that!" Brolli roared as he dived out the explosion. Goten dived aside and flew a little way back and turned to see Brolli wheel through the air and turn about to face Trunks.
"And you'll pay for killing my father!" Trunks cried through gritted teeth.
"Trunks!" Goten cried and shot forward. Brolli turned at the cry and lashed out with a hand, catching Goten across the jaw and knocking him away. Trunks took the opportunity and charged at Brolli, but the brute was expecting him, and he turned, catching Trunks by the arms. Trunks gave out a small cry as he was plucked from the air and swung about, them thrown at Goten, the Saiyan Prince slamming into his best friend and sending the pair tumbling through the air.
At Piccolo's side, Applor opened and clenched his hands repeatedly, anxious not only to join the battle, but to help his friends also.
"Easy, Applor. Your time will come soon enough," Piccolo said, sensing the younger one's agitation.
"No... It's come now!" Applor shouted and charged off, the head of a golden line of energy.
"Wait!" Piccolo cried out after the young Saiyan, but Applor didn't even hesitate. With a determined expression on his face, Applor charged after the tumbling duo, and caught them, righting them in the air.
"You guys alright?" he asked with concern. Trunks nodded and rubbed his arm where Brolli had grabbed him.
"Yeah… we're fine I guess," Goten said sourly. "That big bully is mean!"
"Well… why don't we do what we talked about earlier?" Applor asked, looking back over his shoulder as a bright blast of brilliant white light lit up the air for a moment, then died down to reveal Gohan and Brolli fighting with such speed that they were hard to see with the naked eye.
"What… you mean…?" Trunks asked.
"Yes," replied Applor. "It's got to be worth a shot."
"Do you think it will work?" Goten asked, raising his voice to be heard over a loud explosion t his right.
"Who knows? Has it even been tried before?" Trunks asked
"Why you asking me?" Goten answered, and then they both look at Applor.
"Whoa, don't ask me! I only heard of this technique just over a day ago!" the slightly older Saiyan child said.
"Well… the three of us can't take him out single handed, that for sure!" Goten said.
"So it's agreed then? We'll do it?" Applor asked, clenching his fists.
"Yeah, I guess so. It's better than nothing."
"Nothing better to do," the other two said.
"Right, okay. Let's do this then!" Applor said as Goten and Trunks dropped out of Super Saiyan 3 and into Super Saiyan.
The three children took up a position in the air, the three standing in a three-man circle, they then looked at one other, nodding to say they were ready.
As one, they swung their arms away from each other, then floated through the air, brining both arms over their heads and towards the centre point, each one saying the word "Fuuuuuuuuuu-" Then, suddenly, they brought their knees up, pointing towards the centre point as they swung their arms across their body so that they were pointing away from the others, with the cry of "-sion!"
The last motion was performed with precise precision, the body twisting at the hips and the legs being thrust out as their arms swung overhead and the fingers extended. Each fingertips met in the centre of their circle, and there was a large blast of light that flooded across the area.
Brolli paused in his attack, with Gohan, and even Gohan stopped as he felt the power levels of Goten, Trunks and Applor abruptly vanish, and being replaced with a much stronger kai signature. The power level was enormous, much bigger than anything he had ever felt before, and quite possibly almost as powerful as himself.
"What the hell…" he mouthed as he and Brolli hung side-by-side in the air, looking at the glowing ball of light across the shattered landscape.
The glow began to wane, and then receded, revealing a figure hanging in the air, clad in the fusion jacket and pants, gold flowing hair hanging out behind him and the turquoise eyes looking out from a cherub-like face.
"Hey-hey! I'm here, and you're going to pay!" the fusion chirped happily, flexing his bulging muscles with a mischievous scowl on his face.
"What the hell is that?" Gohan heard Brolli gasp, and then he grinned.
"That is neither Goten, Trunks nor Applor. That is the instrument of your destruction," Gohan said, turning back to Brolli.
"Really? This I would like to see," Brolli said, then slammed his elbow into the side of Gohan's head. Gohan's whole body shook to the blow, then he swooned in the air, the silver glow vanishing from his eyes as he dropped to the floor unconscious, hitting with enough force to rip the ground apart.
"Hey you, don't be so nasty!" the fusion said mockingly. "We don't like naughty people!"
"Whatever," Brolli growled, whilst stretching and stifling a yawn.
"You're pissing Atenks off, now you're gonna pay!" the Fusion shouted, and disappeared.
