No longer did the Ascended Super Saiya-jin ponder his opponent's newfound strength.
He was caught unaware by the fourth outburst of energy.
All he could do was watch...
Watch as the newly enhanced attack finally consumed him.
---
The warrior's breathing was uneven. He felt himself ready to collapse at any moment. Allowing is energy attack to scatter into the wind, and his opponent with it, Vegeta fell to the ground. His hair, which had recently lengthened slightly due to his ascension, returned to its original length and color. His eyes reverted to a cold black. He was about to close his eyes when he remembered the pouch at his side. He opened it to examine its contents.
'Eight beans left...the damned cat outdid himself this time,' Vegeta observed. He took one and ate it. He could feel his wounds closing and his power return to him. Then he felt a new outflow of power, the result of a Saiya-jin recovering from his wounds. Vegeta smirked to himself. He had accomplished his goal. Taking the bag of Senzu beans, he walked over to the fallen Namek. Vegeta could tell he was unconscious. Prying his mouth open, Vegeta shoved a senzu bean into Piccolo's mouth. As soon as the bean fell down his throat, Piccolo's eyes opened. Standing up, he was shocked at the sight before him.
"Ve-Vegeta? Does that mean you...?"
"Shut your trap lizard. You should be grateful. I just saved your ass. If not for me, you'd be joining your pathetic 'friend' in the Otherworld."
"Does that mean he's really...?"
Vegeta actually looked sullen for once. He nodded his head.
The two warriors stood in the silence, their thoughts focused on their fallen comrade.

On a distant world, far away from Earth...
"Gohan! Wake up!" The Guardian was shaking the young Saiya-jin. Gohan had finally opened his eyes.
"Yes master?" the young boy asked.
Yajen looked down at him.
"Come on. I need to talk to you. It's very important."
Gohan looked puzzled. Yajen never awoke him for reasons other than training or to eat. The schedule was always the same: wake up, eat, train, meditate, train, eat, sleep, train, and sleep. They had been doing this for so long, he could not even remember...
Of course, Yajen had occasionally told him about the Guardians during training. However, that was different.
"Master, what do you have to tell me?"
Yajen looked deep in thought.
"Gohan, I must leave you for a time. I have to go to Earth."
Gohan's face brightened at the Guardian's statement.
"Master, may I come?" he asked excitedly. Yajen shook his head then looked away for a moment. His expression was unreadable, but it looked like one of grief.
"No, I'm sorry my Shueng, but you cannot come with me. I have some...matters to attain to on Earth. After that, I must head to the western galaxy...I feel a strong power emendating from there. As soon as I deal with that threat, I shall return to finish your training."
Gohan looked rejected. His shoulders began to shake. But the boy held back his tears.
'It isn't fair!' he told himself. 'I just want to see my friends...and my father...'
|Don't worry. You will see your friends sooner then you might think.|
Gohan did not know why, but he had to smile. Somehow, he knew that Yajen's words were true.
"Gohan, until my return, I want you to take this. It will help guide you." Yajen held out a sword. The hilt was adorned with beautiful red jewels, and it was carved in the shape of a phoenix. The blade itself was colored a fine silver, but it seemed to glow a faint blue. The sword was, in a word, perfect. A red ribbon hung down from its position, tied at the hilt. The most mysterious aspect of this weapon was that Gohan could actually sense it. The sword had its own Ki!
"This is the Limitless Soul. It has been passed down from Guardian to Guardian. Only one of the Phoenix can wield it, however. I believe you will find some use for it sometime soon." Gohan took the sword. He could feel its Ki increasing.
"The Limitless Soul has its own basic strength, as you have seen. However, its true power comes from the one who wields it. It brings out the power kept in your soul, and manifests it in the physical world. See, look!" Yajen pointed to the sword. Gohan looked down at it, and saw that the blue aura had disappeared. In its place was a pale gold aura.
"Good-bye Gohan. Until we meet again..." Yajen then uttered an incantation. "Eschat!"
With that, he was gone.

Piccolo began walking towards the rubble. In his hand was the bag of senzu beans, which Vegeta had given to him. The Saiya-jin prince was still standing in the same position, lost in thought.
'Perhaps he just realized he killed one of the last members of the Saiya- jin race,' Piccolo thought. 'No matter. I have more important issues that require my attention. He may still be alive...'
Before Piccolo could begin repairing Sky Palace, he wanted to see if Goku was truly dead. There was still a small chance he was alive, and if so, Piccolo could revive him with a senzu bean. However, before he could begin searching through the rubble, Piccolo fell down to the floor. He dropped the small bag, and the remaining Senzu beans fell unto the floor. Vegeta felt Piccolo's Ki drop and fell out of his trance. Before Vegeta could react, the warrior stepped on the Senzu beans, crushing them beneath his heel.
"That takes care of one problem," the warrior said, a hint of amusement in his voice. He turned to Vegeta. "Only one to go."
Vegeta could only stare into his eyes. He took a few steps back, his neck damp from the sweat dripping from his head.
"It can't be...I saw you die!" the Saiya-jin yelled.
Mirai Gohan smiled.
"Believe me, I am very much alive. Unfortunately, I don't think the same will be said of you." Mirai Gohan transformed into an Ascended Super Saiya- jin.
"Be sure to say hello to Goku in the Otherworld!" he yelled, as he flew towards Vegeta, still paralyzed in shock. His fist was inches from the prince's face...

Looks like Mirai Gohan is still alive! I know that there was not much action in this chapter or the last, but I promise next chapter will have as much action as the earlier chapters did. Also, sorry for another short chapter. I will try to get another chapter up tonight.
************
Next Chapter-
Mirai Gohan is still alive, and there seems to be no one who can match his power. Earth's last hope is felled, and with the Senzu beans disposed of, there seems to be no way to revive him. Is this really the end for Earth?
