Chapter 8: Clash of the Saiya-jin

Exactly Six months, two weeks, four days, and three hours after Gohan's birthday…

The afterlife was a really, really big place. That was a really good thing thought the assembled Kai's as they watched the two greatest Saiya-jin warriors ever battle each other.

The two golden titans clashed again and again in an area of the afterlife specifically designated for high-powered combat. That place was Hell. No one really cared if some evil souls got blasted and hurt since they were there to be tormented anyway.

Their clothes tattered, the Saiya-jins continued with their battle. Kicks and punches were thrown at velocities that would shatter planets. Blasts of ki eradicated mountains nearby. The two warriors, whose golden manes cascaded down their backs, did not relent for a second.

"Ka ME HA ME HAAAAAAAA," screamed Goku as he finally had Vegeta, after almost five hours of battle, in a position of weakness. Summoning a massive amount of energy he blasted Vegeta with his signature technique.

Damn that baka to all hell, thought Vegeta. He knew he was in trouble. Kakkorat had finally maneuvered him into a no win situation. He could leap out of the way, but he knew that was one of the options Kakkorat was waiting for. The other was to counter Kakkorat's blast with a Final Flash. That would be extremely wasteful of his energy, not to mention there was no surety that he would win the energy battle. Luckily for him, he was never given a chance to make that decision.

Another Ki blast intercepted the Kamehameha intended for Vegeta and deflected it to detonate harmlessly, at least harmlessly for the Saiya-jin, in another part of hell.

"I think that this battle goes to Son Goku," stated a figure wrapped in a dark tan cloak, "I'd rather you save your energy to battle with me. You will be leaving the Afterlife soon and I wish to test how strong you have become before you return to the living world."

The Celestial Warden slowly floated onto the screen. The loud-mouthed viewers of this particular fight were stricken silent at this turn of events. Well, not for long.

"The Celestial Warden is going to fight? Oh my god I've never thought to see this," shouted an ecstatic North Kai, "This will be the battle of the millennia!!!!"

"Hoohooohhooohooo hoo hoo," added Bubbles. The other Kai's couldn't help but agree. They really didn't know what to expect. The Warden was supposedly one of the most powerful beings in the universe, but then again so was Majin Buu. The Saiya-jin had defeated Buu, so there was no telling where this battle could lead.

"You think to challenge me?" snarled Vegeta, "I won't hold back just because you are a female."

One corner of Mara's mouth twitched up into an evil smirk. "I had no intention of merely challenging you, Prince Vegeta. I intend to challenge both you and Son Goku simultaneously. It would be almost fair then."

Even Goku was mildly insulted by that comment. Frowning, he replied, "Well, if you are that set on losing, then we might as well get started." Already in SSJ3 form Goku blasted towards the Warden. At the same time Vegeta, also in SSJ3, exploded from where he stood towards the Warden hell bent on wiping that smirk from her face.

Before Mara could react, a fist causing her to reel back struck her. A second later she was kicked in the face and sent flying. To Goku's and Vegeta's amazement she flew a mere hundred feet before regaining control of her own momentum and flared into SSJ. They watched in shock as the bruises and cuts on her face healed up almost instantaneously. It was like Majin Buu, but their opponent was undoubtedly Saiya-jin.

Seeing their disbelief Mara chuckled. "Regenerative powers comes from the part of me that is not Saiya-jin," she informed them, "Now that wasn't a very nice attack. Its time to get serious."

She merely closed her eyes for a second and then flared into SSJ2. She promptly phased out and before Goku could react he was sent sprawling downwards. Vegeta immediately turned and began battling Mara. She deftly blocked all his attacks, but was slowly losing ground to the SSJ3. She felt Goku's Ki approaching her and promptly sidestepped one of Vegeta's attacks and blasted some distance away from them.

"Had enough?" mocked Vegeta, "You are too weak to defeat me in single combat, let alone defeat both Kakkarot and I simultaneously."

There was no answer from Mara, except for a massive surge of ki. Her already golden hair streamed backwards until it settled into a wave like shape and her eyebrows disappeared. "I didn't think I'd need to use this form. I am most impressed with you both. Unfortunately this is where I bid you farewell."

She quickly engaged them in combat and a moment later phased out from in between her two opponents. Appearing behind Vegeta, she struck him in the back causing him to crash downwards into the rocks below. Goku immediately tried to take advantage of the situation, but Mara was not caught off-guard. After a flurry of exchanged punches and kicks, she disengaged herself.

"Ciao."

"Ciao?" replied a confused Goku. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was kneed in the stomach. Mara promptly sent him flying downward straight towards the spot that Vegeta had just been standing. She waved happily after Goku's descending form and then vanished.

 "What is your second wish?" asked Shenlong to the crowd that was assembled there.

"I wish that my father, Son Goku, be brought to life here," cried Gohan. Shenlong's eyes began to glow red. After telling Gohan that his wish had been granted, the gigantic dragon disappeared and the dragonballs flew into the sky in a blazing circle of light, promptly scattering across the earth.

Vegeta suddenly found himself staring at a blue sky instead of the blackish red one of hell. He was still in SSJ3 form and still alert from the battle.

"DADDY!!! VEGETA!!!" came cries that ripped his attention from what he had thought was Son Goku. Trunks, Bra, and Bulma came running to embrace him. However, before they got half way across the lawn to him, that something that Vegeta thought was Son Goku actually turned out to be Son Goku.

The Briefs family came to a screeching halt as they saw another golden haired figure slam into Vegeta causing the two of them to go tumbling. They ended up in the middle of the group of the people who had gathered to watch the resurrections.

"GET THE HELL OFF ME NOW BAKA-RATTO, OR I'LL BEAT YOU TO A BLOODY PULP."

The assembled crowd attempted to stifle their mirth at the sight before them. They however failed and once one person began to laugh, that person being Eighteen, everyone else broke into laughter. This, of course, just caused Vegeta to get angrier. He didn't get a chance to vent though. Untangling himself from Goku, he was about to retort when his two children tackled him. His anger vanished, and he found himself embracing his children and his wife.

 "You were right, he IS quite emotional," commented the blonde watcher. She and her companion had projected their shadows there seconds before the final wish had been made to watch what would happen. It was essential to them that everything went as planned.

"Yeah, he is. Have you figured out some way to keep him from interfering with Bezal," asked her companion.

"Yup, I've found a poison that will cripple a Saiya-jin. I really think it's the only one in existence. The only problem is that it will only work once before their immune systems adapt," replied the blonde, "We will only have one shot. I'm sure Bulma will find a cure relatively soon. The window will be small."

"Alright then, give me the poison. I'll go bring it to our agent in the living world."
