Chapter 29:Spirit Bomb Triumphant!
Third Person
"We need to borrow the energy of every living thing within the surrounding Solar Systems....The stars,the planets,the water,the wind,the trees,the creatures....Give us your strength!!!"the warriors shouted,trying not to focus on the battle taking place.
-----
Artificial Seventeen was slammed against the trunk of the Tree of Might.Seventeen,the original,forced his knee into Artificial Seventeen.The blow caused Artificial Seventeen to fall to the ground.
"You're so lame.You're not even good enough to be my fake,"Seventeen mocked.
Further insults were stopped as Artificial Seventeen charged at the original,throwing punches at a rapid pace.Eighteen rushed in and helped her brother guard against the assault before the two attacked the Artificial Seventeen together.
-----
Outside the earth's atmosphere,beyond the distance which humans are limited to travel,a stream of white energy traveled through space.As it passed planets and stars,the living things that existed on them gave a small portion of energy.As the attack neared the earth,its power grew into something that had never been felt before.Its power was unreal,capable of destroying even the fusion Ultima.
-----
"It's almost here....Just a little longer...."Ray trailed off,trying to keep his concentration.
Trunks's eyes widened as he noticed an energy blast heading straight for him.Just as the blast,strong enough to kill him,was about to hit,the original Seventeen jumped in front of him.The former Android was surrounded by a green barrier that cancelled Artificial Seventeen's attack.
As the original Seventeen flew back into battle,Trunks was dumbfounded.Had one of the Androids that was responsible for millions of deaths in his dimension just saved his life?
"Great grandfather!Don't falter now!!"Gotenks shouted from beside him.
Trunks nodded and resumed his concentration.
Above them,an enormous ball of energy had formed.It resonated with a blue-white light,and held power gathered from many Solar Systems.
The Spirit Bomb had been formed....
-----
"Argh!What are they waiting for!?"Eighteen demanded.
"It may not be enough...."Seventeen trailed off,looking down at his clone.
"You think Artificial Seventeen will be able to bounce it back?"
"I don't think,I know....You hold the faker off,I'll go help the others."
"All right."
Seventeen flew up beside Trunks and held his hands in the air like the others.Trunks watched the former Android out of the corner of his eye,unsure of what to make of it.In his dimension,Seventeen had been responsible for almost the entire Earth's population to be destroyed.But now,he was helping to save a world.
The Saiyan shook his head and focused on the Spirit Bomb once more.It was complete,but not quite powerful enough.They were all putting their lives in Eighteen's hands.If Artificial Seventeen saw the Spirit Bomb,he would easily kill them and it would be over with.
-----
"They need more energy...."Vegeta trailed off as he watched his son and the rest of the warriors on Earth strain to gather energy.
"What they need is...."Goku looked deep in thought for a moment,the grinned,"King Kai,could you tell everyone that participated in the Afterlife Tournament to send some of their energy to Earth?If they have the energy there,it'll be more than enough to finish off Artificial Seventeen and the Tree of Might!"
"That's a wonderful idea Goku!!Give me a few moments...."King Kai's antennae began to twitch as he sent a telepathic message to all of the other Kais.
"Well,well,Kakarot.It seems you have a brain after all!"Vegeta exclaimed.
Goku grinned,aware that the statement was the closest thing to a compliment that he could get from Vegeta.
-----
With the energy from the mightiest fighters in the Other World,the Spirit Bomb was enough to destroy Artificial Seventeen,along with the Tree of Might.After realizing that the attack was powerful enough,the warriors threw the energy toward the evil tree and Android.Eighteen moved out of the way as quickly as she could,barely managing to avoid the attack.
"I WON'T BE STOPPED!!!!"Artificial Seventeen shouted,extending his arms to catch the attack.
With a burst of artificial energy,the Android pushed the Spirit Bomb back at his enemies.Their eyes widened,not believing what had just happened.
"No way....How can he be so powerful?"Trunks asked himself.
"It doesn't matter,we have to hit it back!!"Ray exclaimed powering up as high as he could go.
Everyone else followed suit.They discovered that,because of his mixed Saiyan and Tororin blood,Gotenks could reach a new set of Super Levels.His hair became both orange and gold,and his muscles bulged larger.From then on,the transformation was referred to as 'Super Saiyarorin'.
The warriors used all of their strength to hit the Spirit Bomb back to its original target.Artificial Seventeen managed to catch the attack and stop it from moving once again.Gohan,having felt the energy struggle,flew back to the side of the tree where the others were.He saw Artificial Seventeen holding the Spirit Bomb and had an idea.
The Saiyan cupped his hands to the side,a slight smirk on his face as the Mystic Power Up,which had been dormant since Buu was defeated,returned to him,"Myys....Tiic....Kaaa....Meee....Haaa....Meee....HA!!!!!"
The bright golden blast shot out of his outstretched palms.It wasn't enough to destroy Artificial Seventeen,but it was strong enough to distract him.When the attack hit,Artificial Seventeen turned his head toward Gohan.The momentary lack of concentration cost him,as the Spirit Bomb was finally able to absorb him into itself.The evil Android had no time to scream before the energy destroyed every atom.
But the Android wasn't the Spirit Bomb's only target.After destroying Artificial Seventeen,the mighty attack headed toward the Tree of Might and absorbed it as well.Though the tree was large,the Spirit Bomb was larger.It easily destroyed the evil tree,and Ray was fast enough to use Instant Transmission and use his own energy to hit the attack harmlessly into space.
-----
"You can stay here as long as you want,so you can train to defeat them in your time."
"That's what I plan on doing.Tomorrow,the Dragonballs will shatter.I need to know what causes it before I go home...."
Ray nodded to his future great grandson.The warriors had already gathered the Dragonballs,hoping to restore the Earth to the way it was before the Tree of Might was planted.But Gotenks had reminded them that they would shatter,and they decided to wait.
"So,what do we do until then?"Miles asked.
"Rest,"Trunks replied,"Once the Dragonballs shatter,I have a feeling that we'll get to meet the 'IT' Artificial Seventeen was talking about before he absorbed the rest of our enemies."
Everyone nodded.They would have to be at full strength for whatever was ahead.Seventeen had apologized to everyone for what he had done in the past,in both Trunks's and Ray's dimensions.He said it had been because he had no control over himself,due to Android parts put into him by Doctor Gero.But now that the Android parts had been removed,Seventeen was willing to fight on the good side.
And they needed all the help they could get for what was coming....
