Chapter Four
Yuko's power flashed through Gohan's mind. It was almost enough to knock him over. Gohan levitated to the ground next to Goten.
"Do you feel that bro?" Gohan asks.
Goten can only nod. "That guy's chi just went through the roof."
"Looks like he's going to fight Malice. But...I don't know if his power will be enough."
Yuko stood tall, silver chi throbbed all around him. Tiny bolts of lighting flashed here and there. The ground was massively cracked. Yuko looked evil now but there was still something good about him. He glared at Malice his fists clenched tightly.
"Super Tsufuru-jin?" Malice asked. "How? Is that possible?"
"Easy really." Yuko said his voice flat. "About a year after I last fought you a new sensation began to build inside of me. It was an incredible power. So I became determined to bring it out. I tried hard and failed. My refusal to give up kept me going. Only after I broke my body's limit did the power awaken. Thus Super Tsufuru-jin was born. But Super Tsufuru-jin cannot be summoned willingly. It only shows up as a need."
Malice smiled. "I see."
"Now I am going to kill you. Just like you killed my parents." Yuko sneered.
Malice chuckled. "I didn't kill your parents you did. You were too weak to protect them."
"DIE!" Yuko cried.
"I don't think so." Malice said. "I am the most powerful being in the universe." He raced forward and punched Yuko hard in the face. Yuko staggered back.
Malice smiled. "Your new power is still nothing to me."
Yuko looked at Malice. "Don't bet on that."
Malice's eyes widened as Yuko buried his fist in Malice's gut, then nailed him with a right hook that sent him flying into a rock which shattered and collapsed on him.
Malice exploded from the rubble and raced after Yuko. Yuko stood still as Malice prepared to kick him. The foot connected and Yuko did a twirl in the air before he was slammed into the ground.
When Yuko started to get up he was kicked into the air. Malice appeared above him to hit him back into the ground but Yuko spun and his knee met Malice's chin.
Yuko grabbed Malice's leg and begun to spin. He released and sent Malice racing for the ground. Yuko appeared under him about to uppercut him. But Malice caught himself and actually landed on Yuko's fist with both feet, then he backflipped off.
Malice spun with a kick, but Yuko blocked it and countered with a punch. Malice dove back and the punch missed. Malice did a sweep kick that tripped Yuko, but Yuko tripped Malice when he hit the ground. In the end both fighters were on the ground.
They both leapt to their feet and into a fighting stance.
"I must admit Yuko, this new power is really interesting. And yet it won't save you." Malice said, panting and smiling.
"Well I guess we're both holding back." Yuko said.
Malice chuckled. "I guess it wouldn't be a fight if we aren't both at maximum power."
With that Malice began to yell, the chi around him exploded again and the ground began to cave. Then Malice's true power became widely known. It was enough to send the others flying backward.
Then it was over. A wave of black chi surrounded Malice casting an eerie glow over him.
"What do you think Yuko?" Malice asked.
Yuko smiled. "It's a start."
Then he to began to scream. The silver energy around him expanded wildly. As it expanded the ground was ripped apart. His muscles tightened and the ground shook.
"I don't believe it." Vegeta cried. "That guy is dead even with Malice."
"What in the world?" Gohan said.
They're monsters, both of them." Vegeta said.
As Yuko continued the ice on mountains began to melt and flash floods rolled down the mountainside.
Then it was finished.
Both warriors glared at each other. Their energies intertwined with each other.
"This might actually prove challenging." Malice said. "I never expected even the you to be able to stand up to me."
"Well I am just full of surprises." Yuko said. "How would you like to see a new attack I perfected?"
Malice's smile faltered. "What do you mean?"
"Just watch." Yuko put his hands across his chest, then balled his fists and put them to his side. They became surrounded by electricity. Then two energy balls formed around them. He held his hands out in front of him and the balls grew and became one. It continued to grow until it was the size of a car. When he released it, it became a golden beam of energy.
Malice put out his hands to block it but he was blown away. His body slammed into a rock and the energy exploded.
"Hey!" Yuko called out. "He's not dead yet! We have to combine our powers to stop him!"
"He's right." Gohan says. "I can still sense Malice's chi."
"I've grown tired of this!" Vegeta screams summoning all the chi he has left.
Malice rises up from the rubble. He runs at Yuko who leaps into the air and fires a chi blast from above. Malice catches and holds the blast up with his hands.
Vegeta grunted. "Oh hell no! Not anymore Malice you die here." He raced over and stopped only a few yards away from Malice.
Malice looked over his shoulder at Vegeta. "What do you think you are doing Saiya-jin?" He couldn't do anything about Vegeta at the moment because he couldn't let the chi blast go.
"I am taking you down." Vegeta said. He put his hands together, palms out and began to gather energy for a large blast. "FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta cried and a beam of yellow chi instantly began to bore down Malice pounding his back.
Malice screamed and fell to one knee, as Yuko's chi blast bore down on him. He cried out and struggled to stand. He did and held the blast firm again. The Final Flash continued to bear into his back and he struggled to ignore the pain.
Gohan flew around Malice and landed in front of him. He put his hands to his sides, and prepared the biggest Kamehameha he could manage. The sky blue beam slammed into Malice hard and he became smashed in between two chi waves.
Then the last effort landed on either side of him, in the form of Goten and Pan. They too launched Kamehameha waves at Malice. These caused him to fall to his knees again. Only he could not stand this time.
Yuko saw his chance and went for it.
"Shuy-ken!" Yuko cried and his power was increased multiple times. He pushed down on his chi attack with all his power. The ground around Malice buckled and his arms lost their strength. He screamed and desperately tried to get up but the chi blasts and the ground caving in just caused him to fall even more.
When Malice was almost completely covered by Yuko's chi blast Vegeta and the others stopped their chi attacks and dived out of the way. Malice screamed as Yuko's chi attack slammed him into the Earth and exploded.
At Kamesennin's island home near South Islands...
Oolong, Puar, and Kamesennin had no idea for what was going on outside. But when the Earth began to shake and the explosion could be heard they all poured out of Kamesennin's front door. The sight they saw left them speechless.
A giant ball of light could be seen over the horizon and whatever it was, it was powerful enough to reach Kamesennin's senses and cause him to tremble.
"Oh my." He said. "This is not good, not good at all."
"What is it Kamesennin?" Puar asked.
"Some great powers are fighting over there. And I don't know anyone on our side that is this strong. I fear the worst."
"What about Gohan and the others?" Oolong said.
"I can't sense them. I don't think I do at least but I tell you there are two, well now only one power that is extremely strong and I can't tell who it is." Kamesennin said.
"What are we gonna do?" Oolong said panicking.
"Hey don't worry I am a great martial arts master, I can defeat any enemy."
Oolong's eyes narrowed. "Oh boy, an old perverted man is here to save the day."
Kamesennin fell backwards. "I am perfectly capable of fighting any enemy you pig." He yelled.
"No you can't you aren't strong enough and besides you are too old to fight your way through a crowd. Old man." Oolong yelled back.
_____________________________________________________________
The ground trembled as everyone inside Capsule Corp. tried desperately to hold on to something.
Bulma continued to shield her daughter's and son's body. ChiChi, Videl, and Marron all held on to one another. Kuririn, Uubu and Andriod #18 held on the couch as pictures hanging on the wll fell to the floor causing shattered glass to litter the floor.
As soon as the trembling had started it ended.
"Whoa what was that?" Uubu asks.
Kuririn looks around at the severely damaged living room and sighs. "I hope that was one of our guys who did that."
"One of the chi is gone." Videl says walking toward the entrance. "I think they might have won the fight!"
"I hope." Marron adds.
Trunks finally awakens as the senzu bean Uubu had given to him has taken effect. He stands up and looks around at everyone's face.
"What happened? Are they still fighting?" Trunks asks.
Videl shakes her head as she opens the frontdoor. "No. I believe they managed to win."
"Let's go see."
The ground stopped its shaking and the dust began to settle. A giant hole was all that remained of Malice. They all try to sense Malice's chi. It wasn't there. Gohan, Vegeta, Goten and Pan got to their feet and gathered around the hole and peered in.
"He's history." Vegeta said.
"Yeah I don't know how anyone could survived a blast like that." Pan said. "Even if he was as strong as he was."
"You said it." Goten cheered.
Gohan put his arm around his brother. "We did it."
Yuko fell from the sky and landed on his knees. The Super Tsufuru-jin form disappeared. "I need to relax."
Videl, ChiChi, and Marron run from the battered Capsule Corp. Videl embraces Gohan in a hug as does Marron with Goten. Vegeta scoffs at the sight and walks up to Videl.
"Where's is Bulma and Trunks?" Vegeta asks.
"Bulma took Bra into the infirmary with Trunks. Kuririn, Andriod #18, and Uubu went with them." Videl replies still in Gohan's embrace.
"Are you okay boys?" ChiChi asks worriedly hugging both of her sons. "You had me so worried. I almost had a heartattack!"
Gohan smiles. "Sorry, wasn't intentional."
"Yeah mom. You should have seen it. We all combined our powers together and Malice was history! It was awesome. You should have seen it" Goten says excitedely.
Everyone laughs at Goten's childish behavior as Vegeta leaves back inside Capsule Corp.
"Pan." Gohan and Videl says simultaneously.
Oh boy here comes the lecture. Pan thinks.
"Under certain circumstances I would be very disappointed in you," Gohan glaring at Pan. "You could have been killed."
"Sorry." Pan apologizes.
"But..."
Pan looks up at her father. Gohan's glare turns gentle as he begins smiling and he pats his daughter on the head. "If you didn't enter this battle. We probably wouldn't have had enough power to stop Malice. You've proven yourself today Pan. I'm proud of you."
Pan lets out a sigh of relief. "Thanks daddy."
Yuko walks up to the group and nods his head. "I must express my gratitude for helping me finish off Malice. It took me many years but I have finally suceeded."
"You still haven't told us who you are." Pan says.
"My name is Yuko. I'm a..."
Yuko clutches his head as he screams in agony. He falls to the ground hard enough to knock him unconscious. Gohan and Goten kneel down next the fallen man.
"Bro help me take him inside." Gohan says.
Goten frowns his eyebrows. "Why? He tried to kill us."
"He did help us beat Malice." Gohan states grabbing Yuko by his legs. "It's the least we can do to help him."
Goten doesn't agree with Gohan's descion of helping Yuko but he keeps these thoughts to himself. Goten grabs Yuko from under his head and the two demi- Saiya-jin carry Yuko inside Capsule Corp.'s living quarters.
When Malice had arrived at Enma's courtroom immediately following his death he was displeased.
"I demand to be returned to Earth!" Malice screams.
Enma places his elbows on his desk and puts his head in his hands. He knows there is no way Malice will return to Earth. But seeing him demanding such a request after he was killed. Is well...amusing.
"Did you hear me!? I said I want to return to the Earth so I can kill those filthy Saiya-jin!" Malice screams.
"You want me to return you to the Earth? Is that correct?" Enma says.
"That's what I said." Malice replies.
"I will, I will. But first could you stand a little bit to the left." Enma says motioning with his hand.
Malice grunts as he takes several steps to his left. "There! Now return me now before I break you in half!"
"Of course." Enma replies.
Suddenly the floor beneath Malice's feet disappears as he falls down into the depths of the underworld. Hell. He falls from the orange colored clouds of Snake Way and falls into the lava pit making a tidal wave splash over the foundain.
Malice splashes around and spits out lava from his mouth. "Dammit. I'll find a way to get out of here."
Malice looks up and sees a red demon wearing a white shirt with HELL written across it and and blue shorts.
"Welcome to the worst place in the cosmos. Welcome to Hell."
On the Lookout Dende had witnessed the entire battle with Malice. The hardest part of being the guardian of the Earth is watching it under attack and being unable to do anything help. For Dende he hopes to prevent that again. For now they no longer have the Dragon Balls to correct what goes wrong.
"Popo!" Dende calls.
At the sound of Dende's voice Mr. Popo puts down his watering can and runs from the garden that takes care of on the Lookout. When Popo arrives he's out of breath and is breathing deeply.
"You okay, Popo?" Dende ask worriedly.
"I'm okay." Mr. Popo replies taking a few deep breaths. "What has happened?"
"The battle on Earth is over. Malice is gone." Dende replies. "But I don't know how Malice and this other new warrior arrived here in the first place."
"Are you going to consult with Enma?" Mr. Popo asks.
Dende nods as he turns his attention to the Earth below. "Yes. Hopefully he'll give me some information. Then I can tell Vegeta, Gohan and the others what happened. Watch the Earth for me Popo."
Mr. Popo watches as Dende disappears into the Lookout. He then turns his head and looks over the egde of the Lookout. Toward the Earth. He has seen much and been through much. The two incidents he remembers the most is the fight with Majin Buu in which he lost his life. Then the arrival of Bebi iin which he was possesed. Both times proved toward the total descrution of the entire planet.
He hopes now that the Earth will find a way to survive since the Earth no longer have Dragon Balls as it's jewel of hope.
One week has passed on Earth.
One week since Malice arrived and disrupted the time stream. Seriously altering history. So much had changed and so much was reavealed during the past three days.
The survivors who survived the massacre in West Capital had claime to newspapers and news reporters that meteorites had bombarded the city and caused the damage. The death toll was the highest it's ever been and no one questioned these reports.
What else could have been?
The only people who really knew the truth; the Sons, Briefs, Chestnuts, and a couple of isolated others.
Yuko had been in a deep sleep from his injuries the whole week since Malice's defeat. Besides the occasional check-up by Bulma Yuko spent most of the time healing alone. Today is the day that Yuko's injuries will be completely healed due to Capsule Corp.'s medical instruments. Bulma had invited Gohan and his family to see Earth's newest ally.
"Well the rejuvenation instruments did the best it could." Bulma states turning off the machine that Yuko is hooked up to.
Everyone stares at the young man and notices the machine's success. All of his chest wounds have been healed and his hair has returned to its white color.
"Is he...still alive?" Pan asks.
Bulma shakes her head. "I...I don't know. He was when Goten and Gohan brought him in here. Nothing should have happened to him."
Bulma cautiously approaches the man until suddenly his eyes open almost making Bulma jump into Gohan's arms.
Yuko stands up from the hospital bed and looks at all the surprised faces he sees. He smiles and begins to blush after he looks at his lack of dress. "Uh...could I get some clothes please?"
"Of course," Bulma replies handing Yuko an outfit she originally brought for Vegeta. It was a black shirt with blue denim pants. After handing it to Yuko everyone leaves the room to give Yuko time to put on his first Earth outfit.
Ten minutes later...
Bulma and the others return along with Vegeta who just stands at the doorway with a frown and his arms crossed.
"I must apologize." Yuko says straring at all the faces looking at him. He eventually looks at Pan and smiles which makes her blush. "My name is Yuko."
Hellos could be heard from everyone and then Gohan speaks. "Yuko why did you come here?"
"I came here to stop Malice from destroying the Earth," Yuko says rubbing the back of his neck. "Looks like I managed to do that."
"With the way you were fighting Malice I take it you've fought before." Pan says.
Yuko nods. "I've been trained to fight since I was eight. But being part Tsufuru-jin and part Saiya-jin helped me to control chi."
Everyone gasps. The ordeal with Bebi was almost five years ago. Bebi is the reason why Piccolo is no longer among the living. No one would ever imagine that there was another Tsufuru-jin who actually wanted to help the Saiya- jin.
"Do you know Bebi?" Gohan asks, his eyes widened. Yuko shakes his head. "I've heard stories. But that's all. He was dead way before I was born."
"When we were fighting Malice you transformed into something I've never seen before. What excatly was that?"
"I'll try to explain it." Yuko replied. "After my battle with Malice on Shadowsei I returned to my homeworld, Corneriasei. I trained furiously for almost three years until one day I broke the limit of my abilites and transformed into what they call a Super Tsufuru-jin."
"You're a Super Tsufuru-jin? I never thought there was such a thing," Gohan says.
"I didn't know myself. I had heard stories that it existed but I never would have imagined that I myself would become the first one."
"So you're the Legendary Super Tsufuru-jin." Vegeta growls as he pushes Gohan out of the way and stands in front of Yuko. "I've heard of the stories from my father on Vegetasei. I didn't believe it then."
Yuko smirks. "Well looks like it became reality."
"Whatever." Vegeta says.
"I don't mean any disrespect." Yuko says back.
Gohan yawns and stretches. "Well I'm tired."
"Yuko you're welcome to finish resting. You're also more than welcome to stay here with us." Bulma says.
Vegeta rolls his eyes as he leaves the infirmary.
"Thank you." Yuko says with a slight nod.
Gohan, Videl, Pan and Bulma leave the infirmary except Pan. She stood there staring at Yuko until she spoke as softly as she could. "Me and some friends are going out to eat tommorrow. Did you want to come?"
"I...I will be there." Yuko says slightly blushing.
Pan smiles and heads toward the door. When she gets to the doorway she stops and turns toward Yuko. "By the way my name is Pan."
Yuko's power flashed through Gohan's mind. It was almost enough to knock him over. Gohan levitated to the ground next to Goten.
"Do you feel that bro?" Gohan asks.
Goten can only nod. "That guy's chi just went through the roof."
"Looks like he's going to fight Malice. But...I don't know if his power will be enough."
Yuko stood tall, silver chi throbbed all around him. Tiny bolts of lighting flashed here and there. The ground was massively cracked. Yuko looked evil now but there was still something good about him. He glared at Malice his fists clenched tightly.
"Super Tsufuru-jin?" Malice asked. "How? Is that possible?"
"Easy really." Yuko said his voice flat. "About a year after I last fought you a new sensation began to build inside of me. It was an incredible power. So I became determined to bring it out. I tried hard and failed. My refusal to give up kept me going. Only after I broke my body's limit did the power awaken. Thus Super Tsufuru-jin was born. But Super Tsufuru-jin cannot be summoned willingly. It only shows up as a need."
Malice smiled. "I see."
"Now I am going to kill you. Just like you killed my parents." Yuko sneered.
Malice chuckled. "I didn't kill your parents you did. You were too weak to protect them."
"DIE!" Yuko cried.
"I don't think so." Malice said. "I am the most powerful being in the universe." He raced forward and punched Yuko hard in the face. Yuko staggered back.
Malice smiled. "Your new power is still nothing to me."
Yuko looked at Malice. "Don't bet on that."
Malice's eyes widened as Yuko buried his fist in Malice's gut, then nailed him with a right hook that sent him flying into a rock which shattered and collapsed on him.
Malice exploded from the rubble and raced after Yuko. Yuko stood still as Malice prepared to kick him. The foot connected and Yuko did a twirl in the air before he was slammed into the ground.
When Yuko started to get up he was kicked into the air. Malice appeared above him to hit him back into the ground but Yuko spun and his knee met Malice's chin.
Yuko grabbed Malice's leg and begun to spin. He released and sent Malice racing for the ground. Yuko appeared under him about to uppercut him. But Malice caught himself and actually landed on Yuko's fist with both feet, then he backflipped off.
Malice spun with a kick, but Yuko blocked it and countered with a punch. Malice dove back and the punch missed. Malice did a sweep kick that tripped Yuko, but Yuko tripped Malice when he hit the ground. In the end both fighters were on the ground.
They both leapt to their feet and into a fighting stance.
"I must admit Yuko, this new power is really interesting. And yet it won't save you." Malice said, panting and smiling.
"Well I guess we're both holding back." Yuko said.
Malice chuckled. "I guess it wouldn't be a fight if we aren't both at maximum power."
With that Malice began to yell, the chi around him exploded again and the ground began to cave. Then Malice's true power became widely known. It was enough to send the others flying backward.
Then it was over. A wave of black chi surrounded Malice casting an eerie glow over him.
"What do you think Yuko?" Malice asked.

"I don't believe it." Vegeta cried. "That guy is dead even with Malice."
"What in the world?" Gohan said.
They're monsters, both of them." Vegeta said.
As Yuko continued the ice on mountains began to melt and flash floods rolled down the mountainside.
Then it was finished.
Both warriors glared at each other. Their energies intertwined with each other.
"This might actually prove challenging." Malice said. "I never expected even the you to be able to stand up to me."
"Well I am just full of surprises." Yuko said. "How would you like to see a new attack I perfected?"
Malice's smile faltered. "What do you mean?"
"Just watch." Yuko put his hands across his chest, then balled his fists and put them to his side. They became surrounded by electricity. Then two energy balls formed around them. He held his hands out in front of him and the balls grew and became one. It continued to grow until it was the size of a car. When he released it, it became a golden beam of energy.
Malice put out his hands to block it but he was blown away. His body slammed into a rock and the energy exploded.
"Hey!" Yuko called out. "He's not dead yet! We have to combine our powers to stop him!"
"He's right." Gohan says. "I can still sense Malice's chi."
"I've grown tired of this!" Vegeta screams summoning all the chi he has left.
Malice rises up from the rubble. He runs at Yuko who leaps into the air and fires a chi blast from above. Malice catches and holds the blast up with his hands.
Vegeta grunted. "Oh hell no! Not anymore Malice you die here." He raced over and stopped only a few yards away from Malice.
Malice looked over his shoulder at Vegeta. "What do you think you are doing Saiya-jin?" He couldn't do anything about Vegeta at the moment because he couldn't let the chi blast go.
"I am taking you down." Vegeta said. He put his hands together, palms out and began to gather energy for a large blast. "FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta cried and a beam of yellow chi instantly began to bore down Malice pounding his back.
Malice screamed and fell to one knee, as Yuko's chi blast bore down on him. He cried out and struggled to stand. He did and held the blast firm again. The Final Flash continued to bear into his back and he struggled to ignore the pain.
Gohan flew around Malice and landed in front of him. He put his hands to his sides, and prepared the biggest Kamehameha he could manage. The sky blue beam slammed into Malice hard and he became smashed in between two chi waves.
Then the last effort landed on either side of him, in the form of Goten and Pan. They too launched Kamehameha waves at Malice. These caused him to fall to his knees again. Only he could not stand this time.
Yuko saw his chance and went for it.
"Shuy-ken!" Yuko cried and his power was increased multiple times. He pushed down on his chi attack with all his power. The ground around Malice buckled and his arms lost their strength. He screamed and desperately tried to get up but the chi blasts and the ground caving in just caused him to fall even more.
When Malice was almost completely covered by Yuko's chi blast Vegeta and the others stopped their chi attacks and dived out of the way. Malice screamed as Yuko's chi attack slammed him into the Earth and exploded.
At Kamesennin's island home near South Islands...
Oolong, Puar, and Kamesennin had no idea for what was going on outside. But when the Earth began to shake and the explosion could be heard they all poured out of Kamesennin's front door. The sight they saw left them speechless.
A giant ball of light could be seen over the horizon and whatever it was, it was powerful enough to reach Kamesennin's senses and cause him to tremble.
"Oh my." He said. "This is not good, not good at all."
"What is it Kamesennin?" Puar asked.
"Some great powers are fighting over there. And I don't know anyone on our side that is this strong. I fear the worst."
"What about Gohan and the others?" Oolong said.
"I can't sense them. I don't think I do at least but I tell you there are two, well now only one power that is extremely strong and I can't tell who it is." Kamesennin said.
"What are we gonna do?" Oolong said panicking.
"Hey don't worry I am a great martial arts master, I can defeat any enemy."
Oolong's eyes narrowed. "Oh boy, an old perverted man is here to save the day."
Kamesennin fell backwards. "I am perfectly capable of fighting any enemy you pig." He yelled.
"No you can't you aren't strong enough and besides you are too old to fight your way through a crowd. Old man." Oolong yelled back.
_____________________________________________________________
The ground trembled as everyone inside Capsule Corp. tried desperately to hold on to something.
Bulma continued to shield her daughter's and son's body. ChiChi, Videl, and Marron all held on to one another. Kuririn, Uubu and Andriod #18 held on the couch as pictures hanging on the wll fell to the floor causing shattered glass to litter the floor.
As soon as the trembling had started it ended.
"Whoa what was that?" Uubu asks.
Kuririn looks around at the severely damaged living room and sighs. "I hope that was one of our guys who did that."
"One of the chi is gone." Videl says walking toward the entrance. "I think they might have won the fight!"
"I hope." Marron adds.
Trunks finally awakens as the senzu bean Uubu had given to him has taken effect. He stands up and looks around at everyone's face.
"What happened? Are they still fighting?" Trunks asks.
Videl shakes her head as she opens the frontdoor. "No. I believe they managed to win."
"Let's go see."
The ground stopped its shaking and the dust began to settle. A giant hole was all that remained of Malice. They all try to sense Malice's chi. It wasn't there. Gohan, Vegeta, Goten and Pan got to their feet and gathered around the hole and peered in.
"He's history." Vegeta said.
"Yeah I don't know how anyone could survived a blast like that." Pan said. "Even if he was as strong as he was."
"You said it." Goten cheered.
Gohan put his arm around his brother. "We did it."
Yuko fell from the sky and landed on his knees. The Super Tsufuru-jin form disappeared. "I need to relax."
Videl, ChiChi, and Marron run from the battered Capsule Corp. Videl embraces Gohan in a hug as does Marron with Goten. Vegeta scoffs at the sight and walks up to Videl.
"Where's is Bulma and Trunks?" Vegeta asks.
"Bulma took Bra into the infirmary with Trunks. Kuririn, Andriod #18, and Uubu went with them." Videl replies still in Gohan's embrace.
"Are you okay boys?" ChiChi asks worriedly hugging both of her sons. "You had me so worried. I almost had a heartattack!"
Gohan smiles. "Sorry, wasn't intentional."
"Yeah mom. You should have seen it. We all combined our powers together and Malice was history! It was awesome. You should have seen it" Goten says excitedely.
Everyone laughs at Goten's childish behavior as Vegeta leaves back inside Capsule Corp.
"Pan." Gohan and Videl says simultaneously.
Oh boy here comes the lecture. Pan thinks.
"Under certain circumstances I would be very disappointed in you," Gohan glaring at Pan. "You could have been killed."
"Sorry." Pan apologizes.
"But..."
Pan looks up at her father. Gohan's glare turns gentle as he begins smiling and he pats his daughter on the head. "If you didn't enter this battle. We probably wouldn't have had enough power to stop Malice. You've proven yourself today Pan. I'm proud of you."
Pan lets out a sigh of relief. "Thanks daddy."
Yuko walks up to the group and nods his head. "I must express my gratitude for helping me finish off Malice. It took me many years but I have finally suceeded."
"You still haven't told us who you are." Pan says.
"My name is Yuko. I'm a..."
Yuko clutches his head as he screams in agony. He falls to the ground hard enough to knock him unconscious. Gohan and Goten kneel down next the fallen man.
"Bro help me take him inside." Gohan says.
Goten frowns his eyebrows. "Why? He tried to kill us."
"He did help us beat Malice." Gohan states grabbing Yuko by his legs. "It's the least we can do to help him."
Goten doesn't agree with Gohan's descion of helping Yuko but he keeps these thoughts to himself. Goten grabs Yuko from under his head and the two demi- Saiya-jin carry Yuko inside Capsule Corp.'s living quarters.
When Malice had arrived at Enma's courtroom immediately following his death he was displeased.
"I demand to be returned to Earth!" Malice screams.
Enma places his elbows on his desk and puts his head in his hands. He knows there is no way Malice will return to Earth. But seeing him demanding such a request after he was killed. Is well...amusing.
"Did you hear me!? I said I want to return to the Earth so I can kill those filthy Saiya-jin!" Malice screams.
"You want me to return you to the Earth? Is that correct?" Enma says.
"That's what I said." Malice replies.
"I will, I will. But first could you stand a little bit to the left." Enma says motioning with his hand.
Malice grunts as he takes several steps to his left. "There! Now return me now before I break you in half!"
"Of course." Enma replies.
Suddenly the floor beneath Malice's feet disappears as he falls down into the depths of the underworld. Hell. He falls from the orange colored clouds of Snake Way and falls into the lava pit making a tidal wave splash over the foundain.
Malice splashes around and spits out lava from his mouth. "Dammit. I'll find a way to get out of here."
Malice looks up and sees a red demon wearing a white shirt with HELL written across it and and blue shorts.
"Welcome to the worst place in the cosmos. Welcome to Hell."
On the Lookout Dende had witnessed the entire battle with Malice. The hardest part of being the guardian of the Earth is watching it under attack and being unable to do anything help. For Dende he hopes to prevent that again. For now they no longer have the Dragon Balls to correct what goes wrong.
"Popo!" Dende calls.
At the sound of Dende's voice Mr. Popo puts down his watering can and runs from the garden that takes care of on the Lookout. When Popo arrives he's out of breath and is breathing deeply.
"You okay, Popo?" Dende ask worriedly.
"I'm okay." Mr. Popo replies taking a few deep breaths. "What has happened?"
"The battle on Earth is over. Malice is gone." Dende replies. "But I don't know how Malice and this other new warrior arrived here in the first place."
"Are you going to consult with Enma?" Mr. Popo asks.
Dende nods as he turns his attention to the Earth below. "Yes. Hopefully he'll give me some information. Then I can tell Vegeta, Gohan and the others what happened. Watch the Earth for me Popo."
Mr. Popo watches as Dende disappears into the Lookout. He then turns his head and looks over the egde of the Lookout. Toward the Earth. He has seen much and been through much. The two incidents he remembers the most is the fight with Majin Buu in which he lost his life. Then the arrival of Bebi iin which he was possesed. Both times proved toward the total descrution of the entire planet.
He hopes now that the Earth will find a way to survive since the Earth no longer have Dragon Balls as it's jewel of hope.
One week has passed on Earth.
One week since Malice arrived and disrupted the time stream. Seriously altering history. So much had changed and so much was reavealed during the past three days.
The survivors who survived the massacre in West Capital had claime to newspapers and news reporters that meteorites had bombarded the city and caused the damage. The death toll was the highest it's ever been and no one questioned these reports.
What else could have been?
The only people who really knew the truth; the Sons, Briefs, Chestnuts, and a couple of isolated others.
Yuko had been in a deep sleep from his injuries the whole week since Malice's defeat. Besides the occasional check-up by Bulma Yuko spent most of the time healing alone. Today is the day that Yuko's injuries will be completely healed due to Capsule Corp.'s medical instruments. Bulma had invited Gohan and his family to see Earth's newest ally.
"Well the rejuvenation instruments did the best it could." Bulma states turning off the machine that Yuko is hooked up to.
Everyone stares at the young man and notices the machine's success. All of his chest wounds have been healed and his hair has returned to its white color.
"Is he...still alive?" Pan asks.
Bulma shakes her head. "I...I don't know. He was when Goten and Gohan brought him in here. Nothing should have happened to him."
Bulma cautiously approaches the man until suddenly his eyes open almost making Bulma jump into Gohan's arms.
Yuko stands up from the hospital bed and looks at all the surprised faces he sees. He smiles and begins to blush after he looks at his lack of dress. "Uh...could I get some clothes please?"
"Of course," Bulma replies handing Yuko an outfit she originally brought for Vegeta. It was a black shirt with blue denim pants. After handing it to Yuko everyone leaves the room to give Yuko time to put on his first Earth outfit.
Ten minutes later...
Bulma and the others return along with Vegeta who just stands at the doorway with a frown and his arms crossed.
"I must apologize." Yuko says straring at all the faces looking at him. He eventually looks at Pan and smiles which makes her blush. "My name is Yuko."
Hellos could be heard from everyone and then Gohan speaks. "Yuko why did you come here?"
"I came here to stop Malice from destroying the Earth," Yuko says rubbing the back of his neck. "Looks like I managed to do that."
"With the way you were fighting Malice I take it you've fought before." Pan says.
Yuko nods. "I've been trained to fight since I was eight. But being part Tsufuru-jin and part Saiya-jin helped me to control chi."
Everyone gasps. The ordeal with Bebi was almost five years ago. Bebi is the reason why Piccolo is no longer among the living. No one would ever imagine that there was another Tsufuru-jin who actually wanted to help the Saiya- jin.
"Do you know Bebi?" Gohan asks, his eyes widened. Yuko shakes his head. "I've heard stories. But that's all. He was dead way before I was born."
"When we were fighting Malice you transformed into something I've never seen before. What excatly was that?"
"I'll try to explain it." Yuko replied. "After my battle with Malice on Shadowsei I returned to my homeworld, Corneriasei. I trained furiously for almost three years until one day I broke the limit of my abilites and transformed into what they call a Super Tsufuru-jin."
"You're a Super Tsufuru-jin? I never thought there was such a thing," Gohan says.
"I didn't know myself. I had heard stories that it existed but I never would have imagined that I myself would become the first one."
"So you're the Legendary Super Tsufuru-jin." Vegeta growls as he pushes Gohan out of the way and stands in front of Yuko. "I've heard of the stories from my father on Vegetasei. I didn't believe it then."
Yuko smirks. "Well looks like it became reality."
"Whatever." Vegeta says.
"I don't mean any disrespect." Yuko says back.
Gohan yawns and stretches. "Well I'm tired."
"Yuko you're welcome to finish resting. You're also more than welcome to stay here with us." Bulma says.
Vegeta rolls his eyes as he leaves the infirmary.
"Thank you." Yuko says with a slight nod.
Gohan, Videl, Pan and Bulma leave the infirmary except Pan. She stood there staring at Yuko until she spoke as softly as she could. "Me and some friends are going out to eat tommorrow. Did you want to come?"
"I...I will be there." Yuko says slightly blushing.
Pan smiles and heads toward the door. When she gets to the doorway she stops and turns toward Yuko. "By the way my name is Pan."
