Trunks dangled from her deadly grip as she slowly moved him away from her, extending her hands preparing to once again summon Trunks Galic Gun wave. His eyes opened slowly as the rip began to open up again. Vegeta gazed down hard as he and Goku arrived in the nick of time.

"Trunks...my son, no!"

Vegeta clutched his hands together. His energy flaring it's golden light. Goku followed cocking back with a Kameahameaha wave. The two Sayains nodded in preparing to unleash the blast.

"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON FIRE!"

They looked up. Piccolo didn't hesitate for a single moment using his best technique to help save the young Sayain. Vegeta and Goku followed.

"FINAL FLASH!!!"
"KA-MEA-HA-MEA-HA!!"

The three blast came spiraling towards Alexial.

******

Goten flew as fast as he could, pressing his ability to it's maximum. Gohan followed closely behind. Videl not being as fast as the others tailed the best she could. Her eyes were riddled with sympathy for Goten. His best friend looked to be finish...she narrowed her eyes clutching her fist. NO! We can still make a difference! We need to get there now! Videl turned on her energy, pressing to catch up.

******

"Can't this thing go any faster!?"

Chi-chi banged on the controls as Mr. Satan shot her a gaze.

"Hey! Don't yell at me, I didn't make the blasted thing I'm only flyin' it!"

"Well do something Herc!"

"I'm tryin' Chi-Chi, but if ya keep yellin' I can't do anything!"

Michelle shook her head looking at Bulma. She picked up her hand and patted it. Michelle didn't know what was going on. But she wasn't so blind as to see Bulma was in pain.

"It'll be okay Mrs. Briefs."

Bulma gave her the best smile she could as Mr. Satan and Chi-Chi continued to bicker.

******

"Come on you guys can do it!"

They all watched from Roshi's Island with anticipation in their eyes.

******

Dende just sat and watched with Popo, and now Yajarobi with the company of Koren. They felt young Trunks pain as it looked to be over.

******

Alexial looked up at the three blast heading her way. She gave off an agitated grunt.

"Dammit more pest, better take care of this one and get out the way bef..."

As Alexial lowered her head to finish Trunks, he exploded with rage, his energy braking the chains, freeing him from her grasp.. Alexial watched shocked as he fired a final blast into her chest which simultaneously pushed him out of harms way. She crumpled in pain before getting one last look at the three energy wave quickly closing in. They landed, crushing the park grounds into a large whole in the ground. They looked on waiting for her to re emerge.

"I didn't put enough into the Special Beam Cannon to kill her...I didn't want to hurt Trunks."

Goku nodded looking over at Piccolo.

"Same here."

The two suddenly looked down. Vegeta was already standing over his son. Trunks laid there motionless, passed out from the exertion of energy and pain. Vegeta's eyes laid fixated on his sons broken and battered body.

"Trunks...."

Vegeta began to flinch with rage. Electricity popped and fizzled from his form. Vegeta clutched his fist screaming out changing into his Super Sayain 2 form.

"WOMAN! COME OUT NOW AND FACE ME!"

He turned looking into the large cloud of dust. He stared at it for several short minutes before yelling in fury again.

"IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WISH TO PLAY IT, FINE! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY SON!!!"

Goku and Piccolo both watched as Vegeta leapt into the air over the creator.

"Vegeta wait!"

The Sayain Prince held his hands out firing rapid and random energy blast into the set hole. He screamed out in anger firing, crushing the terrain that surrounded her. He paused discharging a large blast. The yellow ray rocked the planet, causing winds to kick up at a high rate. Vegeta resumed his assault with more of the same. Piccolo and Goku shielded their eyes from the energy and intense winds.

"He'll blow the whole park away if he keeps this up! Vegeta!!"

Piccolo's statement was well thought out as the creator continued to grow. He finally stopped exhaling as more of the park collapsed on top of her.

"Rotten....bitch....I'LL KILL YOU!"

Goku held out a futile hand.

"Vegeta no!"

He quickly dove into the clouds of smoke. With in an instant a loud explosion ensued, Alexial came spiraling out bloody and battered, and Vegeta was in hot pursuit. His eyes narrowed with anguish as he came across her jaw. She yelled out in pain while blood flew from her mouth. Vegeta relentlessly pounded her, with left and right hand combinations to the face. He grabbed her by the hair, flying towards the planet, driving her face down. She grunted as she scarred and slashed her skin against the turf. Vegeta followed up, dropping a heel right between her shoulder blades. He glided out of the fresh hole, pissed and ready, hands extended with a flat palm, fingers tight. His eyes twitched as he waited for her to move. She slowly pushed herself up. She glared down into the ground which Vegeta had driven her through. Vegeta's hand lit up, and with an angered yell he fired yet another blast into her body. He floated down to the ground in front of his son.

"Trunks...you did well my son. I'm sorry I didn't come to you sooner..."

Alexial screamed, crushing the abyss with her grand power. Vegeta slowly turned his head to her as she floated back onto the level ground. Vegeta smirked.

"Well, looks like you've got some fight left."

Alexial slowly picked her head up with an angry gaze at the Sayain prince. He placed a hand in his gray khaki slacks, nonchalantly looking at her from head to toe in Super Sayain form. She stood up tall dusting herself off.

"Another Sayain I presume..."

"Not just another Sayain...the Sayain."

"Got a name...boy."

"Hnhm...Vegeta."

"Ah...you're a prince?"

Vegeta turned to her fully now.

"Well you must be rather well acquainted with my people to know all that."

"Only the royal blood line is allowed to take the name of the planet itself."

"Did you figure that all by yourself, or did you have my son tell you before you beat him to a pulp!?"

She smiled at Vegeta wiping the blood from her lips.

"Your son huh?"

"Yes, and what ever issues you had with him you can now take them up with me...he is of no concern to you."

Alexial smiled as her stone again glowed healing her battle damage. Vegeta's eyes narrowed to a point as she popped her neck. Again she resumed rubbing her ear lobe.

"Well Vegeta...I guess it won't hurt to ask. Would you happen to know where the other four fate stones lye?"

"Stones huh, is that what you're looking for?"

Alexial's eyes lit up as Goku and Piccolo landed behind him with crossed arms. They looked at each other then back at her. They gave a smile to match Vegeta's cocky grin.

"So you know of them!?"

"Sure, I have two of them with me right now..."

Alexial blinked with anticipation.

"What?!"

"Yeah I keep them in a sack in my pants."

Alexial rose a curious eyebrow. Vegeta slowly moved his hand from his pocket to the front of his pants. He then grabbed his crotch flipping her off.

"There are two big ones for you."

Goku and Piccolo gave off dark chuckles as did Vegeta. Alexial was red with embarrassment. She did not like being toyed with. She yelled powering up again crushing the terrain around her even more.

"Fools! Do you not know who I am!? I am the Great Alexial! And you're all dead!!!!"

Alexial quickly leapt from her position nailing Vegeta in the jaw with a sturdy right hand. Vegeta coasted away in the air as she began to fight with both Goku and Piccolo. Goku attacked heavy from one side while Piccolo from the other. She countered them both with intense speed and skill. She elbowed Piccolo away turning to kick Goku. He blocked with his forearm, swinging at her several times and missing. She finally landed a blow to his ribs. Vegeta came soaring back with a jump kick, busting her in the stomach, he followed with an uppercut and instantly with an elbow to the back of her head. Goku returned from underneath punting her back up to Vegeta. He shot an energy blast, knocking her down to Goku, whom in turn, round house kicked her to the freshly rebounded Piccolo. He grabbed Alexial in a bear hug squeezing her tightly. She screamed out kicking her legs making threats. Piccolo then flew down into the ground with great speed releasing her just before they hit. She barreled into the ground with a painful yelp. The three the fire energy blast on top of her. They sat back ready. Waiting for her to pop her head out. She did so flying in the middle of the three. Simultaneously they powered up. Piccolo to a Super Namek, Vegeta and Goku to level 2. Alexial unleashed her chains glowing with a dark green; grabbing Goku and Vegeta by the throats chocking the life out of them. Piccolo attacked with rapid speed. Throwing punches and kicks. She dodged them, finally catching his fist and hitting him with both Goku and Vegeta, however she didn't relinquish her grip. She continued to pound the two Super Sayains, into the entrapped Piccolo. She finally spun, kicking him clean across his jaw, throwing the rivals after him. She gave an evil smile as she reopened the void, blasting Trunks Galic Gun attack at them. Vegeta opened his eyes as the three streamed back towards the planet. He regained control tossing his hands back in the familiar attack form.

"Galic Gun...."

The fuchsia light formed in his hands.

"FIRE!"

Vegeta unleashed his signature move ramming it into the oncoming blast. He cringed holding his attack against Alexial. She laughed as the beam effortlessly was matching Vegeta's. Piccolo stopped next. He flew back to Vegeta, crossing his hands.

"Masanko....ha!"

Piccolo's blast entered the fray, slightly giving Vegeta an edge. The two strained in their super forms. Goku float back next to them. He watched before looking up at Alexial. He placed his fingers to his forehead, and with Instant Transmission, Goku was behind Alexial. She turned her head as Goku charged up momentarily to level 3. Her eyes lit up in shock as Goku cocked his hands back in a double axe handle.

"SUPER KAO KEN!!!!!"

A red flash took over his body as he drilled her hard, knocking her concentration off and sending her into the blast. Goku wisely used Instant Transmission again to get out of the way. The blast shot Alexial high and off towards space. Vegeta smiled looking back as Goku reappeared next to them.

"I remember what that's like...no fun at all."

Goku changed back to his normal form. Wiping the sweat off his brow.

"Yeah, it'll take her a while before she gets off that thing."

"Then I'll finish her off."

Vegeta clutched his hand in rage.

"Hold on a minute Vegeta, she is way stronger than any of us seem to be giving her credit for, you see what it takes to beat her. All of us, not just one."

Vegeta turned to Piccolo with a dark glare.

"What would you know!?"

"I know that she's probably been toying with us up until now. You saw what she did to Trunks, it only took a few moves and he was out for the count. We need a plan."

"What I need is for you to shut that whole in your face! Wait till she gets back...hnhm."

Goku put a hand on his shoulder.

"Vegeta le..."

"Don't touch me Kakarot!"

Vegeta pushed him away. Goku and Piccolo both gave Vegeta a shocked look. He hadn't been like this in years. It felt like something was bothering him. Like he had something to prove. Vegeta only looked up into the sky awaiting Alexial's return.

******

Alexial spun off the beam floating in space. She healed her wounds again, looking down upon the planet.

"I will crush them!"

Alexial turned on the juice rushing back towards the planet. She stopped looking into the atmosphere.

"No....I cannot fight them all at once. I need more power...not to mention I was never at full strength to begin with."

She gave a devilish smirk, ascending back into the clouds again to confront the trio that waited below.

******

Vegeta smiled as he sensed her coming from the distance. He charged back up, pressing into the sky after her.

"Vegeta!!"

Goku began to head into the air after him. Piccolo grabbed his foot.

"Goku no! We need to take advantage of this opportunity! Vegeta should be fine for the moment."

Goku looked back before floating down next to Piccolo.

******

Vegeta flew at a blinding speed after Alexial. He squinted his eyes passing through cloud after cloud. Wait till I get my hands on that no good...

"What the!?!"

Vegeta was quickly hammered by two Alexial's. Vegeta caught himself as a third came down next to the first two. Vegeta gave a cocky smile.

"The multi-form technique huh? It bothers me in no way shape or form..."

He continued as a fourth one emerged.

"....and while there are more of you, you're also allot WEAKER!"

Vegeta flew up punching the first one square in the mouth. She flew back slightly in the same motion as her head. He smiled, but it was quickly wiped from his face when he realized the energy signal she was giving off. He looked around at the others, they too had similar signals. Vegeta looked around with a panicked expression.

"That's...that's impossible!"

They all powered up, raising their power levels. Vegeta was trapped. Their energy was enormous, and he had no way of telling which was the original.

NO...I will not go out like this!

Vegeta turned on his energy as well looking at his surrounding captures.

"I am a Sayain elite! Born of royal blood! I will not be defeated by some hell spawn reject!"

Vegeta fired a blast nailing two of them off the bat. The other two slapped him hard with their chains driving him towards the planet.

******

"Hey it's Vegeta!"

Gohan was pointing as they neared the park, watching their Super Sayain comrade fall quickly into the planet. Gohan turned it on pushing harder to reach their destination. The others followed best they could.

******

"Ah no Vegeta!"

Goku and Piccolo both hopped out the way as Vegeta was drilled into the ground where they once stood. The pair fired shots into the atmosphere hopping to hit the demonic Alexial. Alas they too were shocked when four touched down on the planet instead of one. Goku perked up sensing their power levels, they were all as strong if not stronger than the original...but which one was the original? They removed their chains from across Vegeta's back. Piccolo looked back to him as he slowly stood back on his feet.

"Hey Vegeta you okay!?"

"O...Of course I am!"

The proud Sayain turned around turning back on his power. He stumbled slightly still a bit stunned from the long fall. The four Alexial's sat into battle stance ready for war.

******

Alexial held her rib damaged as she floated still high in the atmosphere.

"Fools....now I can escape uninhibited...then when I return I'll make them feel my pain."

She held her energy lowly as she slowly flew off away from the battle field, with a scheme nesting in her head.
