The Morgue Saga
Chapter 3
Morgue stood on the small island. He looked at the sea surrounding his small area of re-birth. A sneer appeared on his face. This world was his for the taking. He could mould this ball of dirt to whatever he wanted. He could turn all of its inhabitants into his slaves if he wished. There was nothing to stop him now. Nothing at all.
"Morgue! We should get started on bringing the others here." Radditz said in an annoyed tone. He wanted the plan to commence, and Morgue was just standing there, looking out to the sea.
"Yes.of course." Soon, Morgue would get rid of Radditz and his insolence, but for now, he had a job to do.
"Uh, Morgue, can I ask HOW we will return the others to earth?" Radditz asked.
"Simple." Morgue said. As he was suddenly enveloped in ki, he began to recite a chant. Radditz stepped back as a large ball of light appeared in front of Morgue. Radditz slowly realised he was looking at the gates of hell.
(Meanwhile)
Elsewhere, Goku and Vegeta looked up from their training in alarm. They felt the strange energy as well. They also felt Radditz' energy signature.
"What's that fool up to now?" Vegeta asked.
"I think we had better check it out." Goku said. He hoped Radditz wasn't up to something. He hoped he hadn't misplaced his trust in Radditz for a second time. Maybe Radditz was over there investigating the energy as well. Goku and Vegeta stepped outside the training pod, and began flying towards the strange energy signal.
Morgue resumed chanting. The gate grew wide enough for all of them to come trough now. Frieza stepped trough confidently. He was back at last. Cell followed along with Buu. Soon, they would all have their revenge. But something unexpected then happened. Buu turned when he heard a loud bellowing behind them. He saw Brolli rushing the gate.
"You three aren't the only ones who have a score to settle with Kakarott!" He said consumed by rage. Morgue decided a fourth pair of helping hands couldn't hurt. As soon as all four of them were trough, he closed the gate. Finally, the final phase of his plan was complete.
"Welcome to earth gentlemen. Now then, go have yourself some fun." Morgue told his new small army. An evil smirk appeared on his face as the four of them took off in separate directions, cheering. They were looking for innocent lives to destroy.
"What about me?" Radditz said, expecting some reward. Morgue turned towards him.
"Yes.what about you Radditz? I believe your usefulness has run out now." Morgue began walking towards him. Radditz began backing in fear.
"This is IMPOSSIBLE!" he shouted, slamming his hands on the table. The captain was not happy.
"I thought we destroyed Morgue six years ago on Dellona!" the captain wanted answers as to how Morgue's signature readings were appearing on the sensors. He was furious. Apparently, Morgue was still alive, and he was on planet earth, in the North Quadrant of space.
"We were hired by VERY wealthy people to kill Morgue. We told them we did. But NOW, he appears to be ALIVE!" the Captain shouted.
"I don't like unsatisfied customers. So I tell you all what we are going to do. We are going to take this ship, and go to earth, and see why the hell Morgue appears to be alive." The captain stated to his crew of five.
"But sir, maybe the sensors are just wrong.if we ran a second sweep to make sure." one crewman started. "We ran TWENTY.its Morgue alright. Apparently, we have to kill him again." 'Captain Sirra always was thorough in his investigations.' Charrok thought. 'But how could Morgue still be alive?' Being Sirra's first mate had been the toughest thing in Charrok's entire bounty hunter career. Sirra was so demanding. But, Charrok guessed that's most likely what made him the most successful bounty hunter in the entire universe. Everyone feared Sirra. When most criminals heard that Sirra was after them, most of them would just turn themselves into the proper authorities rather then face Sirra's wrath.
"Temrok, turn this ship in the direction of Earth in the north quadrant!" Charrok ordered to Temrok, the pilot. It was going to be a long week. They lost twenty men, leaving only five of them, in the last attack against Morgue. They were working the ship on a skeleton crew. And now they were going to attack Morgue with just the five of them? Was Sirra brave, stupid, or just plain stubborn? Charrok thought it might be all three of them. 'One thing about Sirra though.' Charrok thought, 'When he does a job, he sees it to the very end.' Charrok remembered when Sirra had offered him the job as his first mate.
Charrok had just returned from a five-day battle against a very powerful warrior. They were being paid quite a bit to attack him. In the end, they got their money, but most of them were dead. Sirra took Charrok and his other two remaining shipmates under his wing. Now Charrok was second in command on the ship. Only Sirra knew of Charrok's secret heritage however. Charrok was half Pseudo, the same race as Sirra, which was also the part that showed. But he was also half-Saiyan, which only showed in his tail, that he had long ago removed.
The Mugilians were almost completely human looking, except their skin, was tougher, more durable, and greyish in colour. Sirra's men, were all wearing their standard, uncomfortable, battle suits. Only their head and hands poked out. The rest of their bodies were covered in a thick metal that took on a bulbous form for their suits. The suits were all painted yellow so they were easy to be spotted in most conditions. "Back into the fray captain?" Charrok asked Sirra. "I don't think we ever get out of it in the first place Charrok." Sirra replied as the sub-light speed engines began to fire up.
Radditz fell to the ground with a sickening crunch noise. Blood spurted out of his mouth. "Where's your fighting spirit Radditz? Come on! Show me what you've got!" Morgue taunted the Saiyan warrior. Radditz slowly fought his way to his feet and wiped the warm blood from his mouth. "I'm surprised you can still get up." Morgue said.
"Most would fold after one hit. It seems your training did you some good after all!" Morgue continued to taunt him. "I'll wipe that stupid smirk off your face!" Radditz said, powering up. He was enraged. This fool had betrayed him. How dare he! Radditz rushed at Morgue and planted his foot into his gut. Morgue looked down at the foot. He hadn't even moved an inch. Morgue smiled at a surprised Radditz, and karate chopped his leg, breaking it with a loud cracking noise. "ARRGH!" Radditz screamed as he fell to the ground, clutching his leg. He had executed a perfect kick to his gut, and Morgue wasn't even powered up. How could he not have inflicted any damage of any kind? "Well, it's been fun Radditz, but now the fun ends. But I won't let you go out without a bang." Morgue smirked at Radditz. Then fired a ki blast in his face.
"Vegeta, what was that?" Goku said with sudden alarm. "What are you blabbering about Kakarott?" Vegeta asked in his usual annoyed tone he had around Goku. "Radditz energy signature. It just.faded. Just like that. I can barely feel it anymore." Goku said, with a twinge of worry in his voice. The pair was closing in on the Kame House now. They continued to fly, and landed on the beach just in front of the small pink cottage. Goku went inside while Vegeta hung back on look out.
"Anybody home?" Goku asked. Just then, he saw Master Roshi come down the stairs, with Oolong close behind. "Oh, hi Goku. What brings you here? I trust you're worried about that mysterious power level that I've been sensing for the past half hour or so." Roshi said. Goku nodded. "I don't know what it is. I'm here and Vegeta is just outside." Just as he said it, they felt Vegeta's power level rise in an instant. "What the.?" Goku rushed outside to see Vegeta in Super Saiyan mode; he was facing off against a man Goku had never seen before. The man was wearing a red cape, and armour. His hair was blonde. His eyes were.red?
"YOU!" Vegeta started. "That was you're power level we sensed. And if I'm not mistaken, you're the one who attacked Radditz." Vegeta sensed that this man's power level wasn't too high, high enough to destroy Radditz. Not enough to even seriously damage him.
"Correct. And now, I have a certain arrogant prick in my sights." Morgue told him. Vegeta was angered at that remark. "You cocky asshole! You'll pay for that!" Vegeta yelled out to his new opponent. Vegeta then flew at Morgue with all the pride and speed of a Super Saiyan prince. He stopped and disappeared in front of Morgue. Morgue was as still and silent as a stone. Vegeta re-appeared behind Morgue. He directed his knee towards Morgue's back, but Morgue had already turned around and punched Vegeta in the jaw before Vegeta had time to line up his knee with Morgue's back. Morgue then grabbed him by the collar of his spandex and brought him up close to his face.
"Listen to my name, Vegeta, and remember it well!" Morgue spoke to Vegeta in a harsh tone. "I am Morgue. And soon, this world will be mine!" Morgue then tossed Vegeta into the ocean and looked back at Goku. He smiled a wicked smile. This was turning out to be a good day. Morgue was just brought back to life, and he was going to defeat every last member of the Saiyan race. "Kakarott! You must be Kakarott. Radditz told me quite a bit about you, and how strong you are!" Morgue said with an evil tone. He wanted to test Goku.
"Radditz? He knows you?" Goku asked Morgue in a shocked voice. "He's the reason I'm here. But he soon saw the error in helping me. Ah, well. You live, and you learn." Morgue said. "You.You killed him!" Goku said. His brother, Morgue had killed his brother. Goku had done it himself once. But Goku had barely known him back then. Now Goku thought of Radditz as a friend. Radditz was the only blood relative that he had left. "How COULD you!" Goku asked, outraged that his brother was dead. "Simple, I charged a decent amount of ki into my hand, and blasted him." Morgue answered.
Goku let out a yell that could be heard for quite the distance; his power level shot up. This was more then for fighting; Goku was calling for help. He was trying to get the attention of the other Z-fighters. If his power level went too high, the others would know he wasn't just training. Goku rushed at Morgue, and gave him a back flip kick. It connected. Morgue stumbled back. The blow's strength had surprised him. "Very good Goku.now try mine!" Morgue was very suddenly in front of Goku, and Goku had no time to react before he was flying trough the air. It occurred to him that Morgue had struck him a blow to the jaw. Goku managed to recover before he hit the ground. He looked up, and Morgue was already in front of him, with his knee buried in Goku's gut. Goku coughed up some blood. "How." was all Goku managed to say before Morgue threw Goku onto the beach. A stunned Master Roshi and Oolong watched from inside the house as Goku hit the sand. They couldn't believe how easily Goku was being thrown around.
"Well Goku, here's where the fun ends. I guess I'll go round up my men, and we'll go have a great time. Sorry you won't be able to join us tough." Morgue began charging a large blast in his hand. The white light glowed with an eerie energy in his palm. "Ultimate Ki Blast!" Morgue shouted as the beam flew from his hand. Roshi looked on in horror as the blast headed towards the island. He and Oolong had no way out. Goku looked up at the light and noticed that Morgue was only aiming at the island in general, not Goku himself. Goku noticed this just before passing out.
"What was THAT?" Sirra asked Charrok. Charrok wished he knew. The energy sensors trained on Morgue just suddenly shot up. It was the highest they'' ever gone up. "I don't know sir, Morgue must have charged a pretty large amount of ki." Charrok replied the captain. "May Kami be with those of planet earth." Sirra said as he watched the sensors die back down.
Morgue laughed as the small island below him was engulfed with an explosion. It averaged the size of a small missile going of. There would still be land there.just no house.and no Goku. Morgue flew off, laughing to himself. "Arrrgh!" With a great splash, Vegeta emerged from the sea. He looked left and right, but there was no sign of Morgue. "Where is he.I'll kill him.I'll.what?" Vegeta looked at the island. The Kame House was gone. Obliterated. "What happened here? Where's Kakarott?" Vegeta asked to himself. Just then Gohan, Goten, Piccolo and Trunks arrived.
"What happened here?" Gohan asked. "I felt my father's power level raise." "I.I don't know. Some fool named Morgue arrived, and he threw me into the water. When I came out, about three minutes later, the Kame House was destroyed and." Vegeta was about to continue when they heard a groaning from the charred land of the island. They watched as a lump of sand raised, and Goku emerged from it. Goku looked at them then fell unconscious. "Father!" Goten rushed to his father's side. Gohan and Piccolo followed closely behind. Trunks stayed to talk with his father. "Who's Morgue?" Trunks asked.
"I don't know. But I believe he killed Radditz, overpowered me, and beat Kakarott to an inch of his life.he's very powerful, and deadly." Vegeta replied. The great prince suddenly felt a twinge of emotion he never felt very often, a slight twinge of fear. Meanwhile, back at the island, where Morgue first emerged, He awoke. He felt pain all over his body. He could barely move. One of his legs was disabled. His memory suddenly came back to him. Radditz sat up. He felt the stinging pain of his broken leg and cringed.
"Morgue.you're mine." Radditz said with an angry growl.
