I don't own DBZ.

A/N: here comes chapter 5! ^_^ and… o.o I just realized the fic's name better describes the sequel. Oh well ^^;;;

The Quest for the Devine Dragon

Enter chapter title here ^^;;;

"Who did this?"

"Vegeto."

There was an extremely tensed silence as everyone understood what Gohan said. Bulma hugged Trunks and Goten. Chichi fainted again. Krillin was ready to have a heart attack.

"Ve, ve, Vegeto?!"

"Afraid so."

"Vegeto, as in with the Potara earrings?!"

Gohan nodded.

"But, why would he do that to you? The Fusions keep their relationships with others!"

Krillin remarked.

"I know, but there was something else there. HE didn't seem like himself."

"Then why did he do it?!"

"I don't know, Goten. All I know is that we have to get them back."

Gohan stood up with Krillin's help, and it was obvious that his leg was wounded.

"You need to rest."

Krillin added.

"Come on, let's get you inside, let the Zenso Bean work…"

"No, no! We have to do something now!"

Chichi came to, to give her son a stern look.

"You need to lie down, mister! You're in no shape to…"

She was cut off as Gohan's attention went back to the forest. As did Krillin, Trunks and Goten's.

"What's that?"

"Can it really be our dads?"

Birds escaped the forest as energy beams shot out from deep within it.

"Is that… Vegeto?"

Bulma asked, hugging the children tighter.

"And another thing… Probably the bastard behind this mess."

A figure shot out of the woods, crying out in pain and rage. He was recognized immediately.

"Bulma, mom, get out of here! Goten, Trunks, you too!"

"But Gohan!"

"Move it, Goten!"

The older brother added harshly. Releasing himself from his mother's grasp, Trunks took a step forward, clenching his fists.

"No way! If that really is Vegeto, you're gonna need all the help you can get!"

Krillin and Gohan exchanged worried looks. Bulma tried a different approach.

"Trunks, sweetie, you still need time to rest…"

"Too bad, mom, but we don't have any!"

~Yes, that's right. Cower, children, cower before my soldier! What a shame, I was saving this trick for you. But your dads make up for it just fine. Heh heh heh… Go get them!~

"He's coming our way!"

Krillin was frozen. Gohan powered up. Trunks and Goten turned Super. Vegeto landed in front of them and smirked.

"Hello, children. Time to die."

"Gohan, give us a minute!"

Thee two brothers exchanged worried looks.

"I'll do what I can, bro. Let's go, Krillin!"

"Ri, right!"

"Be careful, Gohan!"

"You too, Krillin!"

The two women called out. Vegeto seemed amused.

"Please, don't mock me."

Without blinking, he went Super as well.

"Bring it on… son."

Gohan flew forward, hitting Vegeto with everything he had. Krillin warmed a Destructo Disk, however weak that it was due to the fact that they were fighting reluctantly.

"Please, boy, don't make me laugh! How can you hope to face me?!"

"Gohan, out of the way!"

Vegeto tried to punch Gohan, but he jumped, leaving Vegeto with the reality of having a massive energy disk straight to his face. He sidestepped the disk, getting a cut on his left arm.

"You're gonna pay for that! I'll…"

"Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"

Before Vegeto could say anything more, he was surrounded be seven ghost like things. Krillin and Gohan smiled at the fused Super Saiyan 3. He grinned, then charged at the being made up from his fathers. Vegeto gripped his stomach from the impact, then was subject to a series of hits from the young 'un. Then Gotenks pushed him back with an energy blast.

"It actually looks like we're winning!"

"Krillin, you just jinxed it!"

"Oops."

Wiping the little trail of blood from the side of his mouth, Vegeto looked somewhat proud.

"Nice. But try this on for size!"

Gotenks wasn't going to just wait and get pummeled, so he charged forward as well, only to pass through his enemy.

"An after image?!"

Gohan cried in anger from the sidelines.

Vegeto reappeared behind Gotenks, elbowing him so hard the boy fell to the floor. Sure of himself, the fused warrior missed another Destructo Disk, and another series of physical hits from Gohan.

"My, looking for round 2, aren't we? Remember what happened the last time. You almost died."

The son was touched by the concern about as much as Vegeto meant it.

"But you didn't kill me. You couldn't, could you, DAD?"

Gohan hoped Vegeto would stop acting that way. To his disappointment, the fusion's smirk held through.

"I needed you to give out a warning. You've outlived your usefulness to us."

He crossed his thumb across the palm.

"Big Bang Attack!"

"Masenko!"

The two attacks collided, yet it was obvious Gohan didn't have much hope.

"Ka-me…"

Vegeto laughed.

"Please, Krillin. Do you really expect that to work?"

He raised the preasure of his attack when another voice joined Krillin's.

"Ha-me…"

Gotenks, still fighting, gathered energy as well.

"HA!"

It was obvious which Kamehameha was Gotenks's and which was Krillin's, as one was much stronger than the other. It was enough to catch Vegeto's attention, allowing Gohan to get away from the hopeless standstill he was in.

"I'm tired of this!"

The three fighters got into a defensive position, yet their enemy wasn't aiming at them.

Say goodbye, cows!"

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as Vegeto let loose an evergy ball at Chichi and Bulma's direction.

"Shimeta!"

Gotenks, in his anger, flew at Vegeto again. Gohan instant transmitted quickly, teleporting the two women out of harm's way.

"How could you do that?! How could you?!"

Vegeto stalled, waiting for the child to wear himself out. Even though he actually felt the hits, and those were rather painful hits, even for him. Yet he smirked on. Krillin felt the energy boost.

"Gotenks, get away from him!"

Vegeto grabbed both of Gotenks's fists, no matter how hard the younger fusion fought.

"You put up quite a fight. But this is it."

Vegeto powered up to his max, his Ki practically leaking out of him. And it couldn't have been healthy for a certain young fusion who was at point blank. Both mothers cried out.

"GOTENKS!!!"

A/N: I think it went smoothly for a fighting scene o.o review!
