Tribute to the Dead
Trunks lay on the grassy knoll, his eyes closed, he was slowly healing after that last fight. Even with a Sensu Bean it still hurt, he was beaten down too badly for it to work quickly. "That was the most painful thing I've ever been through." Thought Trunks to himself. "First he almost tore me in two by jumping on my back like I was a trampoline, then he crushed my arms. But no matter what kind of pain I went through I only had one thought in my head, 'Do it for Tina." He sighed and rolled over. Down the hill sat Tina with Bulma, eating some sandwiches and watching Goten prepare to attack Android 2. "We've already lost Krillen, and Piccolo." He thought as he shut his eyes tight trying to picture Raditz beating down Piccolo. Causing him to bleed and pass out. Then while he was at his weakest, gather enough energy to blow Piccolo to hell. Who will be next?" He then remember he and Tina's first date, how she told him she didn't want anyone to die. "Don't worry Tina, I wont let anyone else die."
In the arena Goten powered up to Super Sayjin as Android 2 powered up as well. "Remember my friend, I specialize in defense so it'll take everything you have got to beat me." Goten nodded. "He has changed." He thought. "Now I'm not evil and want to kill you like before but I'm not losing this fight to you." Goten smiled and attacked, 2 automatically went on the defense. Goten started pounding his fists into the armor covering his arms. "Damnit, it's stronger then ever." Thought Goten as he stopped. He took a few steps back and pondered what to do next. "You killed thousands of innocent people, you destroyed my town, and you almost killed me! For all that and more I will bring you to your knees." He then started powering up. "Yes I will admit that I have killed many before, in the past but no more, I have taken Uno's outlook on fighting as my own. Fighting is a thrill and one I greatly enjoy. So do your worse I wont let you win!" Android 2 started powering up as well. He then raised his arms into the air and started gathering energy. Goten took to the skies as he continued gathering energy.
Tina watched all this with growing sadness. "Has anyone died yet?" She asked Vegeta who sat on the grassy knoll watching the fight. "Yes, Krillen did, the little bald one." Tina nodded slowly. Trunks walked slowly over to them and sat between Tina and Bulma. "Tina?" "Yes Trunks." "I promise you that I won't let anyone else die." "I know." "I mean it Tina, I won't allow anyone to make you cry again, only one more person has to die." Tina looked at him strangely. "Who?" Trunks knelt before her and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box, "Now I know it's not as good as the other ring but you didn't answer him so I wanted to ask you something before you thought of your answer.
Tina I know we are young but I feel like this is meant to be. I love you so much and I would be very happy if you marry me." Tina was speechless. even though she knew this was coming and she knew what she thought about him.
Goten opened his eyes and threw his arms and his body weight forward. The blast went soaring towards the ground, towards the android. Android 2 leapt into the air, holding onto the death ball he created. Goten's blast hit the ground but didn't blow up, instead it drilled a deep hole and disappeared into the ground. 2 flew up next to Goten and readied the ball. Goten stopped firing and attempted to block but he only blocked half as 2 chucked the death ball at him. It exploded around him and sent him crashing to the ground. He slowly stood up as 2 landed in the middle of the arena. "That was a strong attack, but this fight is over." "Are you giving up already?" Goten just grinned but it soon faded into a snarl. "You have killed countless lives, not just through killing but by killing a child's father you ruined and destroyed his life." He placed his hands together and started powering up slowly. Suddenly the ground around the arena split open and out of the openings came white energy, in the form of dead spirits. They rose up and flew over to Goten into his open palms, they were giving him all their energy. Android 2 was amazed.
Tina fell back as the ground split open, Trunks held her close as the spirits rose from the ground. Across the way Mystic growled and Goku placed his hand on his shoulder. "Calm." Whispered Goku. Mystic nodded. "What's going on?" Asked Goku. "He's using an amazing attack, I've never seen anything like this. Possibly the energy blast wasn't aiming for 2 at all but towards the ground to open it up. Those spirits are actual people that have died, here on earth. They are actually giving their remaining energy to assist Goten and Goten knows how strong 2 is cause any stronger of an attack could kill him. But there's one thing wrong, I built 2's armor to be the strongest ever. He'd have to destroy it some how" "What's his weakness?" "If 2 was in the air and Goten attacked from directly below him." "I wonder." "What?" "Nothing."
"But I didn't kill all of those people that are giving you energy!" Shouted 2. "Yes I know but they want to avenge those you have killed." Replied Goten. "Remember you do not have the choice to pick who lives and who dies. So now you must pay." "You seem to have forgotten that my armor is indestructible!" "And you seemed to have forgotten about my earlier attack. You actually think I was aiming for you?! This attack is like your Hell Rain except it's coming from below!" With that the ground under 2 lit up. "Oh Shit." muttered 2 as he looked down at it. "Oh shit is right." Said Goten grinning. 2 flew back as the blast shot up, he avoided it but another blast had already shot up behind him and he ran into it. The blast took off his right arm armor. "FUCK!" He shot forwards trying to dodge all of the blasts when one caught him off guard and hit him in his chest, shattering the armor. He fell down on his ass as blood squirted out of the wound, he held his arm to his chest, stopping the bleeding. Goten was fully powered and ready. "This is it! The end of the line for you! TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD!" He then released the blast into 2. The entire area flashed with blinding light and all sound was quieted. When the light disappeared there was a mushroom cloud of smoke where Android 2 was. Goten lay on the grass breathing heavily, the arena was gone, destroyed in the blast. He started laughing and looked over at Mystic, "I am disqualified but at least I got my revenge!" he shouted happily.
Trunks was awestruck. "What an attack." He muttered. "Another one dead." Thought Tina. "How could he be so happy when he broke his promise to me." "You are not disqualified Goten." Shouted Mystic back. "So you're so impressed that I get to stay even after killing 2?" Asked Goten sitting up. Suddenly he went crashing back, he rolled backwards and bounced until he finally landed in a pile of rocks. Standing where Goten once lay was Android 2, breathing heavily. He had no armor left on his body and his body was torn up and bleeding. "You destroyed my armor!" He shouted as he walked over to Goten. "I was killed once before by you for killing all those people, but now I'm different yet you don't seem to care." He stopped and picked up Goten by the front of his shirt. "I paid for my sins'" He then head-butted Goten over and over. "I may not have the right to say who lives or dies but you sure as hell don't have the right to judge who's good and who's bad." He then threw Goten aside and fired an energy blast at him. "You came into this fight seeking only revenge, you sought to kill me! Well I'm sorry but everyone deserves a second chance, everyone deserves a second chance to live, and sadly you ran out of chances. Mystic, Uno, Goku, everyone. Please Forgive me!" Goten had managed to stand up and look and Android 2 as he powered up and rushed Goten. "Shit." Whispered Goten as Android 2 threw his powered up punch into his chest. There was a sickening crunch as Goten's ribs shattered, then a sound like paper tearing as he broke through the skin, then there was silence except for two things, Goten gasping for life, and his heart slowly beating in 2's grasp. Android 2 had punched Goten's heart out. Everyone could hear the beating slowing down as 2 removed his hand from Goten's chest. He then flew into the air and held the dying heart out, his arm covered in Goten's blood. Goten's body fell to the ground convulsing violently.
Everything seemed to move slowly after that. Trunks was stumbling to stand up as Tina covered her mouth in fear. Vegeta couldn't move and neither could Bulma. Goku couldn't believe his eyes. He watched his second born son die right before his very eyes. He roared and went to SSJ3 instantly, but before he could attack Mystic grabbed onto him holding him firmly. They struggled as 2 hovered there watching the heart stop, suddenly his entire body started glowing, "Goodbye my friends." He said to Mystic and the other Androids as he suddenly blew up. "Self destruct." Thought Mystic, sadly. "He really didn't want anyone else to die and since he took Goten's life, in a truly brutal way, he decided that it would be best for him to pay tribute to those who died by his hands by killing himself. Still I wish he hadn't have done that." He said wiping a tear from his eye.
Later as Goku wept for the loss of his son Mystic was talking to Android 3. "Do not kill Vegeta." "I won't." "I mean it, he is vital to the final fight." Android 3 nodded. Mystic walked over to the group with 3. "Listen up." He started. "No more killing, no more deaths. If I think an attack could kill someone I will interrupt and stop the fight. Goten's attack was called Tribute to the Dead, and the rest of the Tournament will be a tribute to them all. Fight 3, Vegeta verses Android 3 will start after lunch, so prepare yourselves warriors." With that he started walking away, Tina ran over to him and told him what she told Trunks. "I don't know who I'm going to pick so don't worry about it, I'll figure out my feelings soon and give you both an answer." With that she ran over to Bulma and helped calm down Goku…To Be Continued.
Next Time on Dragon Ball Z, Gohan finds 18 and tells her what happened, upon returning he finds Goten dead. Out of anger he powers up to SSJ3 and flies off, Goku goes after him and finds Gohan in downtown Chica City. There is a full moon in the town and Gohan's rage has turned him into something new, it's up to Goku and Mystic to stop him as the third round begins, Next time on Dragon Ball Z: Super Sayjin Ozzar?
