CHAPTER 6: ENDGAME
************************************************************************
"WAIT! NOT YET!"
Gohan fired off a shot that clearly had no intent to kill. X's determined face, full of rage before, suddenly went to laughter as he got knocked back by the puny blow.
"What is it kid? My fists are getting impatient, so you'd better hurry."
"First off, stop calling me kid. At one time I might have been-"
Gohan smiled. Gohan looked at X the same way he had looked at Cell... after Cell at pushed him too far.
"When you first saw me, that is."
X broke out into laughter and pointed at Piccolo.
"He figured it out before you, and it was on YOUR planet!"
Piccolo's eyes went narrow as he stared at X.
"That's how you knew my name... You followed me to freeza when I arrived on Namek. I thought I felt an energy source following me- A very weak one."
Piccolo smiled at his own joke, as X's smile disappeared.
"Yes Piccolo, at that time I was. But I knew how to fly, and that was all I needed. I watched you appear out of nowhere- and I followed you to that sick bastard Freeza."
"Stop trying to pretend you didn't like him- You're no better than him on the inside."
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH, GREEN MAN! I'm 20 times better than that deformed freak- I wish had the opportunity to kill him on my own."
X's deranged old smile had faded. His face was at anger now- but it was a strange kind of anger. For once it was not geared toward Gohan or Piccolo- it was a past resentment they saw on his face.
"That arrogant punk destroyed the only person I had left to care about-"
"SHUT UP X!" It was Gohan who was speaking.
"I didn't keep you from attacking us so you could reminisce. I did it so Piccolo can know who you really are and where you came from."
X laughed, and glanced toward the horizon. The final light from the sun was beginning to fade. X laughed in his awkward way, only this time it wasn't just awkward... it was frightening. He turned towards Gohan.
"Sorry ki-"
"I thought I told you to stop calling me kid."
"...Very well...monkey. Either way, I can't let you tell anyone about me. I'll tell all of them when I'm ready... that is, if they manage to stay alive."
X was unfortunately right. The situation looked bleak. Goku was gone. 18 and Krilin were knocked out. Vegeta was dead. Tien and Chiaotzu they hadn't even had time to contact, not to mention how they were impossible to find. All that was left was Gohan and Piccolo. It was beginning to look like the end...
"Enough! This battle has lingered far too long. Stop Talking and fight me damn it!"
X came out of nowhere and planted his fist into Gohan's face. Piccolo was quick on the uptake, however, and spun around to retaliate. He jumped through the air and kicked X with so much force it sent him flying sideways. Piccolo attempted to follow up by flying above him and raining Ki blasts on him, but X grabbed piccolo by the foot and pulled him down to the ground. He held two fingers, and started forming a Shinororeppa right next to Piccolo's forehead. Piccolo's eyes locked in fear as X smiled his hideous smile.
"What? Did you think I'd be stupid enough to shoot you in the chest? I know Nameks, and I know if I pierce your skull you're as good as dead. See you in hell, Piccolo!"
The blast was just beginning to fire. Piccolo could feel the heat coming from X's fingers... It wouldn't be long before-
"Try again, X!"
Gohan had teleported into the air, and came down on X's stomach with his knee-hard. It caused X's shot to fire off into the sky, narrowly missing Piccolo's head. Piccolo breathed a massive sigh of relief.
Gohan hadn't finished with X just yet. He grabbed X by the throat and hurled him into the air. As soon as X regained his balance in the air, Gohan let out a-
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
It failed miserably. X slapped it away, and laughed at the pitiful attempt.
"Just what was that? You could've done better throwing pebbles at me!"
"(Hey, Gohan! You come at him from below, I'll go from above!)"
It took Gohan a minute to realize the voice had been Piccolo whispering to him. Gohan nodded in agreement.
X's eyes gave a strange glimmer as the final light of the sun vanished. He let out a sinister laugh, lowered his head, and waited for the two opponents to make their move.
Sure enough, it happened. Piccolo came from above with his foot extended, and Gohan from below with his fist raised.
X didn't even flinch. His hands extended and blocked the shots like it was an everyday thing, almost as natural as brushing your teeth. The real shock, however, was when he raised his head... his eyes were blood red, and shining bright.
"Ahhhhh! The night-time! I love it!"
With one shove, X launched Gohan and Piccolo in different directions. Piccolo was thrown sky high into the air, while Gohan was sent crashing down next to Krillin. As Gohan got to his feet, he heard a light whisper...
"G-G-Gohan..."
"KRILLIN! Are you alright?!"
"N..N..No. Definetly not."
"It's going to be ok Krillin, just hang on."
"N-n-not from here... sure doesn't look Ok. Who...is...this monster...?"
"I'll explain later. Just rest for now."
Gohan figured this was all part of X's plan. He wanted a one on one. Just Him and Piccolo alone, in a fight to the death. Gohan and Krillin looked up to the sky to see the battle that could claim it all.
"Well Piccolo? Shall we end this how we began it? Just you and me..."
Piccolo laughed as he stared into X's new demonic eyes.
"You think just because your nocturnal, you're going to be able to win?"
"I know it."
Alright then! Let me show you what you think you know!!"
Piccolo's eyes narrowed into seriousness, as he set about to his plan. In the most unorthodox battle strategy ever, Piccolo tore off his arm and heaved it straight at X. he caught it with one hand and laughed harder than he ever had.
"What's this Piccolo? Dismembering yourself before I can get to you first? Shame on you! You ought to be-"
X looked up, and realized his ultimate mistake all too soon. He had taken his eyes off his opponent. An act that, more often then not, results in death. X realized Piccolo's plan as it became all too late. X mouthed the words to his demise as Piccolo yelled them out.
"MAKANKOUSAPPOU!"
The blast entered X's back as a narrow beam, but Piccolo manipulated his blast like X had when he fired it at him and Gohan. The blast became extremely wide, with an exit wound that tore X's chest apart. X collapsed from the sky, Piccolo's fingers still pointing to where his back was. X fell from the sky, clearly on the verge of death. He smashed into the rubble, and vanished amongst it.
Piccolo lowered his still-remaining hand, and regenerated his other with a muffled, painful scream. He looked down towards Gohan.
"Gohan, grab Krillin. I'll get 18."
Gohan was still in shock as to what he had seen. He said nothing as he helped Krillin to his feet. Even Krillin was speechless...
As Piccolo and Gohan carried back the injured couple, they said all the things they couldn't ask before:
"Piccolo, how did you know that was going to work?"
"Once X got his nocturnal power, he became even more arrogant. I knew for sure he wouldn't be thinking things clearly. I don't care how strong you are, if you have your guard down, you'll feel serious pain."
Something was still bugging Piccolo. He turned around to ask Gohan:
"You never did tell us who X really was."
"Don't worry... I'll tell you..."
It wasn't Gohan who answered.
"WHY AREN'T YOU DEA-"
Piccolo stopped yelling as soon as he turned around. Piccolo's blast had finally torn off the top half of his clothes- the trench coat and the shirt. The sight was strange. X's hands were human, but his arms were Namekian. The arms turned away from Namekian as they got closer to his body- his chest was human as well.
"Well Piccolo, now you know why. I'm part Namek, and like you I can regenerate my cells- only much, much faster."
"That doesn't make any sense at all... how could-"
"SHUT UP. I'm not done. Do you want to find out or not?"
X was no longer joking around. His voice had become incredibly serious.
"I know what this apprentice of yours did- he found the 'X Project.' The objective was to create the ultimate fighter, a creation of all races- Human, Sayian, Namek, and even vampire-type cells to make the body even stronger. The problem was getting the cells into a body. They couldn't simply be injected- the immune system would refuse the cells... so they made an embryo, and filled it with the cells before the immune system could develop. The product is what you see in front of you."
"That means... that you...?"
"I was that embryo, Piccolo. I was not born... I was created!"
X's fists went tightly into fists. He cut his palms out of anger, but it didn't keep him from continuing his testimony.
"I was denied of a mother or father all my life. I was raised from birth learning all sorts of fight techniques. But one day my cells had a unique reaction... a bad one. The cells unlocked energy within me, but because humans have very little knowledge of energy, I didn't know how to control it. No one could help me... It only took 10 seconds for me to decimate everything. 10 years of research and all those associated... turned to ashes. I had to get away. I had no clue what was happening to me, but I did know I wanted to go somewhere where I could harm no one. I got my wish when I found capsule corp. I heard about it- a man named Goku, planning on leaving this planet and going to Namek. I stowed away on the capsule, hidden from his sight. It hurt like hell when the capsule jumped to 100X earth's gravity, but I survived- I contribute part of that to my strength. As for the rest of my strength, you can thank only person ever to teach me about energy- Cecil. Cecil was a Namek who discovered me. He was an outcast, a refugee. He taught me about energy- everything about it. He felt the energy within me that was churning, waiting to be unleashed. He taught me blocking, attacking- but most importantly- the Shinororeppa."
"So that's where it came from..."
X nodded.
"The shinororeppa was designed for absorbing the energy of others- but it could only be used by absorbing the energy they use to attack with. I would be able to learn the move, and at the same time get more powerful. It was the ultimate feeling, to be on top. And then I saw him. Freeza. The Bastard Killed Cecil with nothing more than the tip of his finger. I managed to escape his wrath, but not without hearing Cecil's final words. He told me to find the man with the ray of the demon."
X pointed to Piccolo.
"That would be you. I knew it was you simply from your energy reading. My goal after coming back to earth was to find you and absorb your attack- I could make the shinororeppa invincible if I absorbed your attack! But it failed- you pushed the attack through and damn near killed me. That was when I sensed your friends- with that kind of power, I might as well not even bother with the shinororeppa!! Just absorb all of your attacks and abilities- and I myself would be invincible. There would be no need for one move if I had all of you."
"You've failed X. leave us be."
"Sorry Gohan. I can't do that."
Not the response Gohan had expected.
"WHY THE HELL NOT?"
"I started this, and I intend to finish it, even if it means my death. I said someone would die before we left his island tonight- if it has to be me then so be it."
Piccolo looked over towards Gohan. They made eye contact and nodded. They both flew downwards, set 18 and Krillin down, and flew back up towards X.
"You want an end... then we'll give you one."
Piccolo readied his fingers, and on the other side Gohan was preparing his Masenko.
"This is the end X! your end!"
"And I accept it..."
X hung his head, as if he was being put on the electric chair.
Piccolo and Gohan didn't even need to nod at each other.
"MASENKO!"
"MAKANKOUSAPPOU!"
Something wasn't right. They both felt it. It was the smile... X's smile. The strange, unnatural smile he always had...
"SHINOROREPPA!"
X was making a last ditch effort- with these two moves absorbed, he could be become three times as powerful- more than enough to kill both of them.
"X, YOU BASTARD!"
Gohan had screamed it out. Piccolo seemed to be doing fine fending off X's last-ditch attempt, but Gohan could feel his Masenko giving way...
"GOHAN! FOCUS ALL YOUR ENERGY INTO THE CENTER OF THE ATTACK! WE NEED TO PUSH IT ALL BACK INTO HIM!"
Piccolo was already winning in his struggle on the other side- his makankousappou was pushing the shinororeppa back with ease. X was in disbelief.
"Impossible! Only several weeks ago I fought you, and I could shatter this move!"
"Did you think I thought you wouldn't come back!? I practiced making it thinner, just for you X!"
Gohan was still struggling. There was no way he would be able to hold out much longer, especially not with such an unbalanced move...
"Gohan! Switch to your Kamehameha! You'll have more control!"
It was risky with how close the shinororeppa already was, but it was the only chance... Gohan let the masenko go, and fired off a kamehameha as quickly as he could- the shinororeppa cut his palm, but the quickly- emerging energy pushed it away. Sure enough, the Kamehameha shoved the shinororeppa back faster than Piccolo's attack.
Once X felt the Kamehameha hit his shinororeppa, he knew... this was his end.
"Now Gohan! Give it all you've got!"
With one giant shove of energy, Gohan and Piccolo sent the shinororeppa's right back into X.
The amount of energy that coursed through X was unbearable. His body was charred from the inside out, and as his body fried, he finally understood why he lost- he understood why he deserved to die. He had no honor, and no courage. His final scream was not of the physical pain... it was the pain of understanding.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOoo..."
X's destroyed body fell from the sky, and separated into thousands of pieces when it hit the ground- most of it in ashes. there was no doubt that he was finally dead. It had taken all the energy in Gohan and Piccolo's body to bring him down, but it was finally over. X, the unnatural creation, had finally met his demise.
The Villain Menace X was defeated.
