Chapter 30:True Powers Emerge
Fang's Point of View
I stared at the Dragonballs on the table,never taking my eyes off them.Because I was the Divine Dragon,I could sense what other Dragons were thinking.The Earth's Dragon,Shenrunga,was currently filled with anger.For what reason,I wasn't sure.It was possible that the others had taken the Dragonballs for granted,constantly relying on them.
'There's no need to worry.Once we beat our enemy,we can use the Dragonballs to wish everyone back!'
That kind of thinking often got others in trouble.They never focused on preventing all of the deaths,only restoring them.I may have not been an Eternal Dragon,my powers were far too great for that,but I understood what the Dragonballs went through.Every wish filled the Dragonballs with a small amount of evil,but it took many years for the evil to become too much.From what I could sense from the Earth's Dragonballs....
That evil needed to be expelled.
It wouldn't be that way had the Dragonballs been normal.Normal Dragonballs take millions of years to build up that much evil.But these Dragonballs were a combination of two different sets.The Dragonballs from Trunks's Earth,and the Dragonballs from Namek.With that much power,the wishes were multiplied,perhaps even farther than I could comprehend.
I closed my eyes and sighed.All I could do was help them defeat the evil the Dragonballs would create.
When I opened my eyes,I saw a blue smoke covering the entire room.On the table,the one-star Dragonball had cracked and was expelling this smoke.The others began to crack as well,letting out even more blue smoke.I covered my mouth,not wanting to get any into my lungs,and ran toward the door.Once out of the room,the others looked up at me.
"Did they shatter?"Ray asked.
"I'm afraid so,"I replied.
"What can we do?"Trunks questioned.
"Nothing....We must all get out of this building immediately...The evil Shenrunga is on his way,"I answered.
Everyone calmly walked to the door with worried expressions and exited.Just as my foot touched the ground,I could hear the sound of building materials snapping.A golden glow surrounded the Capsule House before it was completely destroyed,only splinters of it left on the ground.
A large figure began to form.It resembled the Eternal Dragon Shenrunga,but was a translucent red color.Its teeth also seemed longer,and its energy was twisted and evil.
"What in the world....?I've never felt anything like that before!"Gotenks exclaimed.
"YOU MORTALS HAVE DESTROYED THOSE THAT I BROUGHT BACK....BUT YOU STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE HUMANS,"Shenrunga growled.
"He's right....We may have gotten rid of the Black Water Mist,but the humans are still at war with each other,"Ray said.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS,SHENRUNGA!!?WHY HAVE YOU SUPPLIED THE HUMANS WITH WEAPONS!!?"I demanded of my fellow Dragon.
"THESE MORTALS HAVE TAKEN THE MIGHTY POWER OF THE DRAGONBALLS FOR GRANTED.FOR THIS,THEY MUST BE ELIMINATED FROM THE UNIVERSE.INCLUDING YOURSELF,DIVINE DRAGON,IF YOU REUFUSE TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF THE DRAGON,"Shenrunga snarled.
"Way of the Dragon?Fang,what's he saying?"Titus asked.
I closed my eyes and thought,"A long time ago,before I was brought into this Universe and slightly after the beginning of the Universe,the Eternal Dragons,lead by my ancestors,created a set of laws for themselves.Because of our long life spans,we aren't considered mortals,nor are we considered immortal.So,my ancestors and the Eternal Dragons came up with what is called the Way of the Dragon.According to the Way of the Dragon,if any Dragon is taken for granted,they have permission to....completely exterminate the life on a planet from which the people that took them for granted came from...."
"So basically,using the Dragonballs as much as we have has only brought forth total destruction....And we're the cause of it all..."Ray trailed off.
"IF ANY OF YOU STAND IN MY WAY,I WILL NOT HESITATE MAKE THE END PAINFUL AND TORTUROUS," Shenrunga stated.
"Can't you do something!?You're the Divine Dragon!!!!"Miles shouted.
"Sadly...not even I can reverse the Way of the Dragon.The only way to defend against this is to destroy Shenrunga's evil and plead with the original one that things return to normal,"I said.
"Then so be it...."Trunks stated,"If that's what it takes,then I have no problem challenging the Eternal Dragon."
"Me either,"Ray agreed,"After all...Trunks and I trained with him for several years.We know his limits."
I shook my head,"And he knows yours as well.Once a Dragon is consumed by an evil like this,their power reaches an unbelievable height.It may be unstoppable."
Ray and Trunks suddenly fell to their knees with fear in their eyes.Their energies started to rise and then fall at random.
"Helplessness....Not again....Too many times....have we been helpless...."they both trailed off.
My eyes widened as their energies began to rise again,but it never fell back.Rocks and dirt started to lift into the air,caused by a distortion of gravity inside their auras.A strong wind began to blow from their energies,causing us to be dragged backwards.The wind became too much,and we were all flung back.I managed to grab onto a tree to avoid being blown back any farther.
Ray and Trunks's auras changed from a silver to a deep red as their hair stood in spikes.Their energies continued to rise,and I could faintly hear Shenrunga's cries of confusion.Their hair became red with streaks of gold and silver.When the wind stopped and their energies settled on a high level,the two got to their feet and looked up at Shenrunga.
"This world's life does not yet deserve to die.We have become what you fear the most.We shall prove that the legend of the True Legendary Ones is not just a legend,but actual fact,"they both declared.
"Th-Those energies....Is it possible?Have they actually let out their full power?....I remember feeling this before....So long ago,an evil was released upon the Universe that every Dragon feared....But two people rose to defeat the evil,a Saiyan and a Tororin.Though they were from different dimensions,they shared a close bond of friendship and fed off of each other's power.They were known as the True Legendary Ones....and had surpassed every Super Level.Is it possible...that Ray and Trunks have reached the Omega Levels?"I asked myself.
As if to answer my question,they turned their icy gazes on me.Their eyes had changed color,becoming a pale gold.
"Divine Dragon,we trust you will escort the others far away from here,"they said in unison.
"Of course....But tell me,Ray and Trunks,are you really the True Legendary Ones?"I questioned.
"Ray and Trunks do not exist right now....We are the True Legendary Ones,because the two have not yet grasped the power behind what they really are,"they answered.
I nodded and turned around.The others had been rendered unconscious from the massive energy,so I used my Dragon powers to teleport us all far away from what would be a vicious battle.
