Chapter 20: Showdown With the Mystics

Frog searched for Ozzie, Flea, and Slash on land while Goku and Magus searched in the air. " I thought you were the Mystics' leader." Goku said. Magus didn't want to answer any questions about the Mystics. " You will find out everything once we fight them." Magus told Goku. As they were flying through the towns, they didn't notice anything suspicious. " Maybe Frog is having better luck than we are." Goku said.

While Goku and Magus were searching in the air, Frog made his search on land. He walked through the forests and found nothing. Then he saw a couple of imps. Frog charged at the imps with his sword. The imps jumped in fear. " Where hath your Mystic leader Ozzie gone?" Frog asked. " We'll tell you, but don't hurt us." one imp said. Frog sheathed his sword then said, " Do not worry I will not hurt you." The green imp told Frog the location of Ozzie's hideout. " It's on the other side of the island." another imp told him. " I thank thee." Frog said and left.

When Frog got out of the forest he waved to Goku and Magus to land. " You better have a good reason for making us land." Magus told him. Frog looked at Magus, even though he was angry at Magus for what he had said. Frog did not show it. " I hath found the of Ozzie's hideout." Frog told them. " It's on the other side of the island. Even if we fly there it will take too long." Magus replied. However, Goku was smiling at their current problem. " Why art thou smiling?" Frog asked.

Goku didn't say anything. All he did was motion for Frog and Magus to stand very close to him. Then Goku placed his two fingers in his forehead. In an instant Goku, Magus, and Frog were teleported to Ozzie's hideout. " Thou hath the ability to use magic?" Frog asked Goku surprised. " No way. It's just a technique I learned from another planet." Goku explained. " Tell me Goku, do your other saiyan friends know this technique?" Magus asked. Goku looked at Magus and thought for a moment why he asked that question. " Nope, I'm the only one who knows it. It's called Instant Transmission." Goku told him.

Goku, Frog, and Magus traveled by foot to Ozzie's hideout. They were saving most of their energy for the fight. Finally they arrived at Ozzie's hideout. It was very small, but capable of having many tricks and traps. " This place is kind of small for a hideout." Goku said. " You shouldn't worry about the fort, worry about the people inside." Magus told him.

They entered the fort with no difficulty. When they entered they noticed Ozzie was right in their way. " What the? I don't believe it. It's Magus." Ozzie said. agus approached Ozzie and said, " What's wrong Ozzie no more threats." Ozzie did not reply after that. He just took out something from his large pocket. It was an amulet with the royal crest of Zeal Kingdom engraved on it. " How did you get my amulet?" Magus asked. Then, Magus did notice that the amulet which was around his neck was gone.

Ozzie simply started laughing. " You fool. I sent Flea to the ruins where Cyrus' grave is. She waited for the right opportunity to steal it. When there was a flash of bright light that was created by the Masamune sword. That was the time for Flea to strike." Ozzie explained. Magus grew angry every second that passed by. He charged at Ozzie with full force, but Ozzie had disappeared. " Come back here you coward!" Magus yelled. Goku and Frog ran to see if Magus was all right.

" Doth thou need my healing power?" Frog asked. " I don't need help from you!" Magus told him as he got up from the floor. " I don't understand, why does that amulet mean so much to you?" Goku asked. " Because it's the only thing I have that reminds me of my home and my sister, Schala." Magus said softly. Frog couldn't see it, but Goku could notice that there was a tear in Magus' eye. " Ha-ha-ha. If you want your amulet back come to the next room and meet your fate." Ozzie's voice told them.

Goku, Frog, and Magus went into the next room. It was really dark. No one was able to see anything. " How can we fight the enemy if we cannot see it." Frog said. Magus created a fireball which lit up the room. " I don't get it. No one's here." Goku said. Then, Goku heard a voice calling him. It sounded like a child voice. " That's impossible. I thought he was in another time." Goku thought. " What's wrong?" Magus asked. Goku did not respond, it was like he was being put in a trance.

Suddenly there were three figures approaching them. It was Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. " Hello Magus." Flea said as she was holding the amulet in her hand. " You will pay for betraying us. You traitor." Slash said to Magus. Ozzie remained silent, until Goku asked, " I heard a voice calling me. Was it some kind of trick or was it something else?" Ozzie revealed to everyone about what Goku was talking about. It was Gohan. He was badly injured. He was inside some kind of force field. " Gohan, I thought you were with Vegeta and Trunks." Goku said.

It was very difficult for Gohan to respond. " I can answer that." Flea told Goku. Flea just snapped her fingers and revealed Vegeta and Trunks, but they were not hurt like Gohan was. " I have a bad feeling about this." Goku thought. " Your friends seem unharmed. What are those Mystics up to." Magus said. Ozzie motioned Flea and Slash to stay out of the fight. Suddenly, Goku realized what was going on. " Vegeta and Trunks are being controlled!" Goku yelled. " I never knew you saiyans were so smart. Well since you know our plan you must be eliminated. DESTROY THEM!!" Ozzie commanded. Vegeta and Trunks charged at them, but the tree warriors were ready.

Goku transformed into a super saiyan and blocked Vegeta's blow. Frog unsheathed his sword and countered Trunks' sword. Magus on the other hand stared into his advisary's eyes. Ozzie looked at him and said, " How could you have deserted us?" Magus did not say anything. He just walked up to Ozzie and attacked. While everyone was fighting, Gohan finally gained some of his strength back." I've got to et out of this thing." Gohan said.

Goku continued to block Vegeta's blows. " Vegeta, how could you have let the Mystics have control you like this?" Goku asked. " Let's just say this our rematch." Vegeta told him. " I'll crush you, like you did to me." Vegeta said and gathered all of his strength and energy into one blast. " Don't do this Vegeta!" Goku yelled. " Why are you afraid that I will beat you?" Vegeta asked. " FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta's final flash attack headed straight for Goku. " I don't want to do this, but it looks like I don't have a chioce." Goku thought. " KAMEHAMEHA!" The two energy blasts collided with each other causing the whole room to shake.

Meanwhile, Frog was busy trying to handle Trunks. " I do not want to hurt thee." Frog said trying to counter Trunks' sword with his Masamune sword. It was a stale mate battle. Until Trunks fired an energy beam at Frog which caused him to drop his sword and fall to the ground. " You should have never came here." Trunks told him. Trunks lifted his sword, ready to kill Frog. Suddenly, an energy beam caught Trunks off guard and caused him to drop his sword too. " Gohan, I thank you." Frog replied. Gohan just smiled and fell to the ground. Gohan had used up all of his energy that he fainted to the floor. Frog hopped over to him and was able to heal him.

" You don't have a chance against the three of us." Slash said. Magus dodged Slash's sword. " You'll pay for what you did to me." Magus said. " I wouldn't be so sure about that. Take one step closer and I'll smash your precious amulet to pieces." Flea said. Magus stood still and summoned his most deadliest power of magic. " You didn't say anything about magic. DARK MATTER!" Magus created a triangular field of energy surrounding Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. " You can't do this... We made you into what you are NOW!.." the three Mystics yelled and were finally dead. Magus walked up to his amulet, which was on the floor. He looked at it and put it around his neck. " I'll never forget you, Schala." Magus whispered as he was holding the amulet.

With the three Mystics dead, the spell on Vegeta and Trunks was broken. " What's going on here?" Trunks asked. After Goku had explained everything a time portal opened up. " It is time for Lavos to meet his fate." Magus said and went through the portal with the others behind him.
