Chapter 9
"Fusion... Ha!"
"Fusion... Ha!"
Both Goku and Vegeta screamed at the same time, leaning over and touching fingers. A bright yellow light exploded from the two warriors as the fusion started. Their bodies melted together and their powers combined, then doubled. Rock from the road shot up and cracked in mid air, and large pieces just exploded. Smoke billowed up from the ground, into the air. It engulfed both sides of the road, then went on. Up and down the street, everything was blinded within a mile and a half. Zanji had to hold his arm up to his face to block out the cinder from touching his eyes. Gotenks was oblivious, as he lay unconscious in the street.
When the smoke subsided, a golden fighter stood proud in the broken street. He was illuminated even brighter in the night sky. Yellow shots of energy crackled from around him. A tall, muscular warrior stood where, moments ago, the saviors of the galaxy had. Goku and Vegeta had been replaced by this towering pillar of energy. Gogeta was so powerful, that even when Goku and Vegeta fused in their normal states, he had immediately transformed into Super Saiyan 4 level, without needed to power up to get there.
When Zanji looked over, he couldn't find the two competitors where he saw them last. Confused, he turned back to Gotenks, who was still laying on the ground, out cold. When Gogeta saw this, he immediately zanzokened in front of the monster, blocking his path.
"He is down. Do you have so little honor that you would fight a fallen warrior, as opposed to a fresh one?" Gogeta challenged boldly.
Zanji was taken aback. No one had ever accused him of being without honor. He snarled his nose and tried to land a punch in his face. Gogeta easily moved his head aside, letting the punch fly past his head, never moving his eyes from Zanji's face. Zanji attempted another punch, then another and another. None came close to connecting with Gogeta.
"Where are the two I was fighting earlier? Who are you?" Zanji raged angrily. Gogeta smirked and remembered an old saying he had coined many years ago.
"I am neither Goku nor Vegeta, but the instrument of your destruction," He stated calmly, moments before appearing behind Zanji and forcing a fist into his back, breaking skin and bone in the process. Zanji coughed up blood and was forced forward, Gogeta immediately appeared before him and punched him into the air, away from Gotenks. He then unleashed a barrage of well-aimed punches and kicks straight into Zanji's chest.
---------------------------
Piccolo sensed a new power enter the battle, and two others leave.
"What is going on over there? First Goten and Trunks just disappear, while another warrior takes their places. Then Goku and Vegeta disappear while another takes THEIR places. And this new power seems familiar as well... I know I've felt it before, or something like it. But it's much stronger than Goku or Vegeta have ever been," Piccolo thought to himself. He was already going as fast as he could, but still he strained for every last drop of speed he had within himself to get to that battle. They definitely would need the senzu's if their powers kept disappearing...

25 Minutes Left in Fusion
Gogeta fired a ki shot with one hand directly into Zanji's face, then used a high kick to force him into the air. He then raised one palm flat out towards Zanji and began one of Vegeta's trade mark attacks:
"Big... Bang..." Gogeta started as energy swirled around into a ball in his palm. He gathered slightly more before unleashing the attack. "Attack!" Gogeta screamed as a blue sphere of energy launched itself from his outstretched hand, making it's way to Zanji's face. It exploded on impact and forced him even higher into the air. Gogeta used the old technique of Shunkaido (Instant Transmission) to appear above Zanji. He connected an elbow with Zanji's neck and sent him flying into the ground, creating a crater 50 feet deep.
---------------------------
As Piccolo neared the battle site, he saw what was causing the strange powers he was sensing. He saw a warrior in the fusion gi that Gogeta would wear when called. And the other power that was fading rapidly was on the ground, he could tell from the black and purple hair that it was Gotenks.
"So," Piccolo mused, "They fused. Goku and Vegeta must have created Gogeta and Goten and Trunks must have made Gotenks. I had better hurry and give out these senzus before they de-fuse. That way I can save one."

15 Minutes Left in Fusion
Gogeta rushed down to meet Zanji, but was shocked as he saw him go rushing past. As Gogeta turned around, Zanji was already on top of him, letting loose a barrage of punches and kicks to stun and confuse him. Gogeta was attempting to block when he felt Gotenks' power jump. A few seconds later, he felt Gohan power up again.
"Good," Gogeta thought to himself as he continued deflecting Zanji's blows, "That means that Piccolo has given them the beans. It should be almost time for the final leg of events. Now then, let's end this right now!" Gogeta grabbed one of Zanji's arms as it went flailing past his head, and swung him around. Gogeta didn't let go, however, until Zanji was coming back up. He let the arm loose, and then immediately grappled Zanji in a half nelson.
"Everyone, get up here now! I have something to tell you all!"
"Fusion... Ha!"
