Chapter Four: Madness Released

A/N: Welcome to Chapter Four: Madness Released. (a.k.a Battle in Heaven, Unveiling of Evil) There will be a word that will be placed between these symbols ; ; and made bold. The meaning will be at the bottom of the fic. Please be noted that the name of the story will soon be changed. If anyone is still confused, please say so. I will do my best to make it clear.

That night. Everyone was drifting peacefully to Dream Land. Well, not everyone. The peace was about to be broken, silence will be shattered and chaos will wreak havoc among the most holy place of all. Heaven. Only the gloomy clouds that are about to engulf the moon show the first signs of the fight.

Li Touten: Attack!!!

Sounds are heard. Guns, arrows, swords, cannons. All the sounds weapons can make. Some of Li Touten's army had focused on attacking the gods in town while the biggest and best of Li's army attacked the main headquarters of the remaining army of Heaven, which guard the place where the higher ranked gods stay. And also where God is waking up. Soon God, Konzeon Bosotsu and some other higher ranked gods were captured as most of Li Touten's army came from Heaven's own army.

God: Li Touten! I demand an explanation!

Li Touten: No explanation is needed. Can't you see? This is a ;coup d'etat; and I now have control over all Heaven! Which means I don't have take anymore blasted *beeping* orders. From now on I will make the orders! I will make the rules! From now on I will rule all of Heaven. *laughs evilly*

Meanwhile at where Goku is staying...

Goku woke up to hear the sounds of weapons, yelling and shouting. It was not a very nice thing to hear. Goku woke up instantly and peeked through the door. He can see fire blazing over the walls.

Goku: Nani?

Komyo: Goku! Summon Nyoibo. Li Touten is taking over Heaven. You have to defeat him!

Goku: *nods then summons Nyoibo*

When Goku stepped out the door, arrows flew all over the place and bombs where landing everywhere. Soldiers were coming in to attack. Some of them headed straight for Goku but were soon defeated. Goku headed to the main central. It was getting harder and harder as he nears his destination, the tougher the opponent. He had attained a gash on one of his arms (though not so big) and a bad bruise on his shoulder and knee. When he turned around the corner, he found Nataku fighting with his sword, slashing all the incoming soldiers. Jiroushin was also there doing the same thing. He helped them get rid of the gods that had been bothering them.

Nataku: Goku! We have to-

Goku: To stop Li Touten at the Main Central.

Nataku: How do you know?

Goku: No time. *dashing down the corridors*

Bombs were thrown more viciously and they were starting to get seriously injured but they still fought on. Nataku was sick and tired of being in his father's hands and now he was taking all over Heaven. His anger rose and so did his attack powers. Jiroushin was desperate about God and the other higher ranked gods because if they are gone, peace cannot be restored to Heaven easily and Under Heaven will be in chaos. Goku was getting the same feeling as when he was fighting with Seitan Teisei Son Goku. He was now sick at losing things. He hated it. He doesn't really mind Heaven gone but if Heaven goes, so does Nataku. He will not let that happen anymore.

When they reached the entrance to the main central, the guards were ready. They had especially increased their numbers to stop anyone interfering with Li Touten. Nataku noticed this.

Nataku: *grabbed Goku by the shoulder* Listen to me Goku. There are too many guards here. Jiroushin and me will stall them. You go and take Li Touten down. (He isn't keen on calling Li Touten his father) We're counting on you. *lets go of Goku's shoulders* We're all counting on you. *charged at the guards*

Jiroushin: Don't let us down. *follows Nataku*

We're counting on you. Don't let us down. The words echoed in Goku's mind. He was reminded of his friends. He didn't want to lose anymore. He won't let it happen. He has the power to stop it. And he will die trying.

Goku: *mumbled* I won't let you guys down. I promise. *sneaked past the guards unnoticed*

Nataku: *saw his friend get into the main central and whispered* Good luck. *continued the battle*

Goku: *got into the main central and scanned for his target*

Li Touten: So, you're the one who's going to stop me. *walks out of the shadows*

Goku: *grip tightens on Nyoibo* Where are the gods!?

Li Touten: Oh. Them. They're in the dungeons. But I'm afraid that no one else will know because *takes out a large sword* you will be dead by then! *slashes out at Goku*

Goku: *used Nyoibo to block* Think again! *kicks Li Touten and sends him through the air*

Li Touten: *recovered and took a stance* You will pay for that! *lunges at Goku with amazing speed*

Goku: *dodged it but only just* Take this! *elbowed him in the stomach*

Li Touten: *received the blow but still managed to punch Goku in the process, sending him backwards*

Goku: Nyoibo! Stretch out! *his Nyoibo stretched and hit Li Touten in the ribs*

Li Touten: *charges a Goku* GRRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! *managed to slash Goku's leg*

Goku: Itai! *clutched it*

Li Touten: *blood was streaming from his mouth* So. This will be the end of Son Goku. But in honor of your death, you will be able to see something very special.

Li Touten suddenly froze. His eyes seem to bulge and his body seemed to be changing. Smoke was coming out along with odors and green and black vapors. His flesh looked like it was melting and rotting and it was also becoming a slimy grey and red. Scales were forming and he hunched. Claws were growing from the tips of his fingers and toes. A scorpion's tail was forming behind him. His eyes became the colour of rotten yoke. His hair was disappearing. His chest heaved and split, revealing numerous amount of guts but were soon covered by some liquid that's coming from his insides. The liquid soon hardens and gave it a more steel like texture. It was tinted with the colour of blood. His legs bent. The very fire of the deepest Hell was coming out of his mouth. Muscles started to bulge and purple-green veins can be seen. Fangs were growing with poison dripping of the edges.

Goku watched all that was happening. This was definitely not a forbidden transformation because there's no one, gods, youkais, humans or taboos, can be this sick. This guy was not a god at all. He was the very evil himself. Goku tried to move. His leg is starting to feel numb due to the loss of blood.

When the transformation seemed to be over, the thing that used to be Li Touten lowered it's head. And suddenly cocked it up with an awkward scary grin.

Goku: You can't be Nataku's father!! Not a thing like you!!!!!

Li Touten: Oh how right you are. *he hissed*

Goku: *noticed that his tongue was forked and a sickly black colour*

Li Touten: The child is not mine. I killed his father and taken his form. But his father is no more different than the Li Touten I acted as. He would do the same thing. It was he who had given me the strength to be here in the first place. His dark thought, his evil nature turned out to be his downfall and now I will finally get the power I had thirsted for! *hisses* And now, to finish you off!!! *lunged at Goku with sharp precision*

Goku: *managed to throw his body out of range* K'so!

Li Touten: *strike at Goku as a hungry snake would to a mouse*

Goku: *was running out of space to dodge him as he is soon cornered*

Li Touten: *tail lashed out at Goku*

Goku: *used Nyoibo to block it and also used Nyoibo to hit him and send him into the wall on the other side*

Li Touten: *recovered instantly* If you don't want to die quickly, I will make sure you will die painfully and slowly. *slowly walks toward Goku*

Goku: *managed to stand up and remembered something*

Li Touten: *was now at the middle of the room and still coming at Goku slowly*

Goku: *took off the limiter*

Instead of feeling the urge to black out as he would've had if Seitan Teisei Son Goku were around, Goku started to feel amazing energy flowing through him. He felt refreshed even if the wounds were still there. Instead of being just plain gold, his eyes were now like melted gold, burning fiercely with life and energy.

Goku now looked at the situation more closely. He knew that battling Li Touten at close range would be fatal. But if he could attack him at a distance... Nyoibo started to glow as if in answer to that thought. It morphed into a gun. Goku was reminded of Sanzo and how he shot things with it. He aimed it at Li Touten.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

God was leading the gods to the main central. He managed to knock out the guard that was holding him.

Konzeon Bosotsu: I thought sitting on that throne made you weak.

God: I'm not selected as God for nothing you know.

Konzeon Bosotsu: I over-looked that part.

When they reached the entrance to the main central with it's heavily closed doors, they saw Nataku burning with rage there and Jiroushin leaning against a column to catch his breath after defeating so many gods.

Nataku: So that *beeper* wasn't my father at all! If I had known I would've killed him ages ago!!!

Jiroushin: What would you do if your real father were taking over Heaven?

Nataku: I'd kill him there and then.

Jiroushin: Good but brutal decision.

God: Oi, what's going on here?

Nataku: Your safe. Goku is fighting Li Touten.

God: Then get this door open! I want to give him a piece of-

Suddenly the entire main central was destroyed in a flare of fire. The blast had sent them flying a distance away. The blast was also loud enough to catch the soldier's attention along with everybody else's.

When the smoke and debris cleared, the two figures can be seen clearly against the blazing background. Goku was panting with a few rips to his clothing and some blood on him. He was holding a gun. His eyes were burning with pure energy. Opposite to him was something that made everybody gasp with horror. Girls and women alike (except Konzeon Bosotsu) fainted. Babies cried and children (except Nataku who is not actually a child but an older kid) hid behind the nearest thing they can find. The soldiers gaped at what was supposed to their leader. It had a few slashes to it with acid like black blood flowing out. Fire can be seen in his mouth. The wind was starting to pick up.

Li Touten: Give it up Goku. *the wounds healed instantly* You will never win against me.

Goku: *panting hard but aimed the gun at him once more*

At this, everyone felt a slight movement of the ground. The water appeared to rise but it was not moving. Even with the wind and the movement in the ground, there were no ripples. The fire seemed to lose its heat while still being able to burn. The trees seemed like pushing itself when it was standing still. The sky seemed like it was moving when there was no change to it. The wind blew stronger.

Goku: *something invisible seemed to start to cling to him* Urusei! You've done enough! You killed too many! Don't think you can get away with it again! Thanks to you I lost my friends 500 years ago! They're gone now and you're lucky it's not your fault! But I can't let you live anymore. I don't want more people to die and be scarred for life because of you! I don't care how powerful you are, but I'm not going to lose to something like you! THIS ENDS NOW! *fires*

What came out wasn't formless energy like the last few times. It was now an almighty blast. A matrix of the pure essence of power and energy put together and combined with light and force. It seared through the space between Goku and Li Touten in a matter of milliseconds. When it hit Li Touten, it practically swallowed him. They can see some dark fire from the inside but that was soon gone. When all the brightness cleared, all that was left was the ground. Even the last molecule of its body is out of existence.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After that incident, all of Heaven started rebuilding what was lost. God seemed a little nicer now. Everyone in Heaven wasn't mean to heretics and youkais anymore. The position of fighting god is no more. Nataku was a lot happier that he was free now. He played with Goku more often. God also decided that Nataku and Goku should be stronger if one of those things come and cause more havocs so some gods are assigned to teach them something. The remaining soldiers of Li Touten's army were killed. Goku was now having a little quiet time for himself under a Sakura tree when Komyo suddenly appeared beside him.

Komyo: You've done well Goku. *he watched as a Sakura petal drops gently to the ground* Koryu will be proud.

Goku: Not that he'll ever admit it if he was here. *stares up at the nice blue sky*

Komyo: *smiled* Don't worry. I'm sure you'll see them again.

Goku: *a slight breeze picked up and died down again* I'll be looking forward to that.

After that, Kanzeon Bosatsu decided to have a talk with Goku.

Kanzeon Bosatsu: It seem that we were wrong.

Goku: About what?

Konzeon Bosotsu: About you. You were born from a rock so you are not really a youkai. You are something else.

Goku: Like what?

Konzeon Bosotsu: *walked to the window and stared out* The ground alone can't create a life form like you even if humans and youkais come from it. *turned to Goku* You are unique in every way. It wasn't just the ground that created you.

Goku: What am I?

Konzeon Bosotsu: You are power. Given a form and a life like any other living being. I noticed this when the surroundings reacted while you were gathering more power. The power of the ground alone can't kill Li Touten. You are made from everything that made this place. The sky, the ground and the water. That's where your powers come from. And to make you more powerful, it had added the individual elements that are in harmony like the fire and the wind for example. And you are also made by the very things that has cultivated all that is, was, and will be.

Goku: But does that mean that...

Konzeon Bosotsu: Yes. Even time, life and death is at your command. Even if you live among it, you will also be a part of it. If you might learn how to command things like time, but unfortunately not even us gods can tell you anything about that. If you're lucky, you'll know how. *leaves*

And so things had been peaceful over one thousand years with the humans and youkais below bonding as well. Goku then felt that Heaven was boring to him. After listening a bit to Komyo with a little persuasion for God, he managed to live in Under Heaven without being killed or losing any memory. And this is how Goku came to living in the modernised world.







Coup d'etat: illegal seizing of power in a state, often by violence

AFN: MATTE!!!!! This isn't the end. To tell you the truth, this is just a little explenation for the REAL plot. The adventure is about to begin! Ikuzo! The name of the story will change too! It will be called: Return to the West! when the next chapter is out! I need ten reviews because it would probably take me that long to get the story out. Probably.
