Last Time on Dragon Ball Z; The final battle took place as Trunks hastily attacks the stronger Mystic thinking he'll end it short and sweet but instead he loses his sword, his hand and possibly much more. The final battle continues today on Dragon Ball Z:

Recognition

Trunks grimaced at the pain that shot through his hand. Mystic stopped laughing and said. "I could take that off for you if you want." Trunks growled and stood up slowly. "Once again you thought hastily, you thought that by going Super Sayjin and attacking me with your sword you could defeat me quickly but you were wrong, you should have listened to the words of the others and conserved your powers." "Shut up." Said Trunks interrupting Mystic. Mystic growled and disappeared. He reappeared right in front of Trunks, he thrusted his arm out and held Trunks up by his throat, choking him. Only being able to use one hand, Trunks grabs onto Mystic's hand trying to get it off. "You listen to me boy." "I'm not a boy." Gasped out Trunks as he kicked Mystic in his stomach. For a moment there was no sound except for the sound of a gentle breeze. Trunks' kick had no effect on Mystic except it made him tighten his grip. Trunks gasped for air. "Now as I was saying." Said Mystic calmly. "You are nothing but a child, a foolish child with foolish dreams. I am a man, Tina is a woman, you are nothing more then a child playing pretend, pretending to be an adult, a man. You are foolish enough to try to act like a man by facing a real man. You are nothing but a boy with a child like innocence that has brought you down since you were eight. Your cockiness followed you even into your fused form of Gotenks. Thinking that you'd mess around before trying your hardest like you are doing now. That was what got you beaten before and will be the reason you fall again. If you are looking to Tina for strength then you are looking in the dark for a ghost, something that doesn't exist." Trunks was about to pass out when Mystic let him fall to the ground. He blinked back tears as he gasped for air. "Yes Trunks, if there was any love there at all it would be dying faster then a low candle in a tornado. You are nothing more then a child holding onto a dying fantasy, holding onto the wind as it continues on it's path. Don't you understand yet? Tina does not love you." Trunks' eyes flashed with anger. "No." Said Trunks barely audible. "That's not true." Mystic spit on Trunks then kicked him in his side.

Where Uno was standing the storm had already gotten worse. It was raining badly and lightning had struck the ground around the area several times some trees were on fire but that wasn't what he was looking at. Tears were in his android eyes, eyes that if built by Doctor Gero, would not be able to produce such tears, the water would short circuit their bodies. Uno was not one of Gero's creations, he was one of the few, he was Mystic's Androids. He was created to be as close to a real Sayjin as humanly possible. He was created to feel, to heal, to cry, to laugh, to smile. He was created with emotions and senses that only prove how much the androids meant to him. Uno and Two were original designs of Mystic, wherein Raditz and Three were first Mystic's father's designs. After landing on Great Five Mystic's parents took the infant to find a better place to live since the supplies on the ship had run out. They ended up dying leaving Mystic alone to fend for himself and while Mystic was finding parts of himself Three and Raditz were being created by Mystic's ship, by plans left by his father. It was on that ship where Mystic was when the original Uno's ship was spotted crashing into the ground nearby.

The crash caused the ship to shake violently. Mystic was just a child who ran out of the ship. He was about eight or nine when he got over to the downed ship. He literally tore the door off and pulled Uno from the wreckage. Being eternally grateful Uno told Mystic about the Sayjin race. He and Mystic grew an instant friendship that lasted for one week because one week later, Uno died. Mystic buried him then started creation on Android One also known as Uno. Uno was built to match the real Sayjin Uno almost perfectly except for his own free will. On the night Sayjin Uno died, it was pouring like it was now. Uno stood in front of Mystic's ship, the ship where he was created, where Mystic grew up, where they all lived together as a family. Lightning hit the large metallic object again which wasn't helping. Uno closed his eyes and felt the heat of the ship pound against his face as the mighty ship sat there engulfed in flames. The ship was on fire and memories were being burned away along with any hope of healing Mystic if he hurt himself badly enough. The rain hit his face hard, his red hair was matted against his head. Suddenly he felt something that forced his eyes open. "No." He thought as he felt the planet itself begin shaking.

More then half the planet's surface away in Kami's lookout everyone felt the shaking as well. Goku ran down the stairs to the main area where Bulma, Tina, Chi-Chi and 18 were huddled together. Gohan arrived shortly with Pan and Videl. Vegeta was the last to arrive. "Someone's powering up." Said Vegeta. Goku nodded. "Is it Mystic?" "No, Trunks is powering up." Suddenly there was a loud ripping sound. Goku looked at Vegeta, shocked. "Let's get out of here!" Shouted Vegeta as he ran, picked up Tina and Bulma and flew off. Quickly followed 18, then Gohan carrying Videl and Pan and finally Goku with Chi-Chi as the building around them started collapsing. He was about to get to the edge of the balcony when a large portion of stone fell from the ceiling crashing down onto Goku's back. He was pinned and Chi-Chi flew out of his hands and over the edge. "NO!" Screamed Goku as he powered up to Super Sayjin Three and blew apart the slate of rock that was onto of him. He roared and jumped off the edge, racing down to save his wife. He had almost caught up to her when he noticed that her eyes were closed and she wasn't screaming in fact she seemed calm. Suddenly her eyes opened and she looked at him with love in her eyes. "I love you Goku." She said quietly as she smiled. "I'll tell Goten that you and Gohan miss him." "Chi-Chi, no." She smiled and nodded as the part of the tower next to them blew apart sending fire and rocks flying between them. Goku was forced to stop, he started crying as he saw the rocks go crashing to the ground below. Chi-Chi's body went crashing into the ground with a sickening thud. She didn't scream, she didn't cry out or try to guard her body as the tons of large rocks and other debris crashed into her, killing her instantly. Goku raced towards the arena as Kami's lookout collapsed.

Trunks slowly stood up as the power coursed through his body. He stood there at Super Sayjin Three as Mystic looked off into the distance. Trunks rushed forward and punched Mystic in his chest, he growled and continued pounding his fist into Mystic as Mystic continued sensing energy. Trunks continued hitting Mystic when Mystic reached up and took hold of both of Trunks' fists holding them firmly. Trunks growled and started head butting Mystic. Mystic's eyes started glowing as Trunks pulled his head back, ready to slam into Mystic again. When Mystic fired an energy beam from his eyes into Trunks' head. Trunks fell back stunned at that attack. "We have to leave Trunks." Said Mystic as Goku arrived. "Chi-Chi is dead, thanks to this tournament." Said Goku angrily. "This tournament almost cost me both my sons and now my wife!" "You are right." Said Mystic as he placed two of his fingers against his forehead. "Simply by Trunks powering up to Super Sayjin Three we have lost Kami's lookout and my ship. Us being on this planet is no longer safe for anyone." With that he raised his arm and aimed it at Trunks. "Instant Transmission Shot". Mystic fired a blast at Trunks and suddenly they both disappeared.

They reappeared on a dark planet with storms in the skies. The land was barren from what seemed to be old, long forgotten battles. Goku was gone as Trunks closed his eyes searching for familiar power levels but found none at all besides his and Mystic's. "Where are we?" He demanded. "This was once a great planet Trunks." Began Mystic. "This was once a green and prosperous planet until war broke out between two parties. One was an evil dictator that ruled with an iron fist enslaving all the people of the planet. Even though the planet itself was prosperous the people hated it and were quickly dying off until a warrior from a far away planet arrived. At first this warrior wanted to take total control of the planet but upon meeting certain people in his life his heart was softened and his attitude changed from domination to freedom. He risked everything to save this planet but in the end, he had risked too much and over half the planet was left in waste. Angry at himself he was about to leave when the people remaining begged him to stay and take the position as their leader. He told them that he would after he returned from his journey. When he did return the planet was destroyed and not a soul was left alive. He still doesn't know what happened to the remaining life. This planet is the ideal place for this battle to take place and to end. This planet was once known as Great Five an is currently known as Planet Mystic." Trunks nodded. "Yes, this planet is perfect for it was here that you were born and here where you will die." Mystic laughed and powered up as well, he powered up to Super Sayjin Three. "Trunks as you well know I have the power level of a Super Sayjin Three without going Super Sayjin at all for your sake I hope you know what you are doing." "I know what I'm doing Mystic, I'm going to defeat you!" Trunks' body exploded with power as he charged up to Super Sayjin Three. "Trunks I have a special threat for you, stay here and prepare yourself for when I return you will face your greatest challenge ever." With that Mystic used instant transmission as disappeared, leaving Trunks behind.

Back on Earth Goku had returned to the others who were now at 18's house. The children went upstairs to play while the others gathered around the TV. Goku held his tongue about Chi-Chi dying for Gohan's sake. Suddenly there was a knock at the front door. 18 answered it and stepped back as Mystic stood there in Super Sayjin Three form. "Vegeta." he said. "The time is now, go Super Sayjin Three so that we may fuse to become Balistic." Vegeta nodded and stood up. As he left the house Goku asked if he was doing the right thing. Vegeta simply nodded and followed Mystic outside. They powered till their levels matched and got into position. Tina and Goku watched as Mystic and Vegeta performed the fusion dance. In a matter of minutes and a flash of blinding light a new yet old warrior was where Mystic and Vegeta once was. Balistic flexed his muscles and yawned. Everyone was surprised since only Goten and Trunks actually saw Balistic before this. "Well I guess I'd be rude if I didn't introduce myself first." Said Balistic who was shorter then Mystic but Taller then Vegeta, his hair was that of Super Sayjin Three and if he wasn't in Super Sayjin Three form it would be black with red in it instead of golden, likewise his eyes would be one blue and the other black, but since he was a Super Sayjin both his eyes were green. Bulma was the first one to speak. "Who are you??" She asked quietly. "I am part Mystic, part Vegeta. I am the combination of their great powers, I am Balistic." "How did Mystic know that, that fusion would work?" Asked Goku. "Well because they've done it before and because a long time ago, before any of us were born Mystic's father and Vegeta's father fused together to become Ballistic, so it only seemed understandable that Vegeta and Mystic could fuse to form something like that. I'm sorry to have to run but I left Trunks waiting, I'll see all of you one day. Goodbye. Instant Transmission." With that he was gone.

Trunks was at full power when the new warrior arrive. "I know we have sorta battled each other in the past but that was when you were fused with Goten. Now it is just you verses me in the ultimate battle. Give it everything you got!" He blasted forwards, destroyed the ground he was standing on as he attacked Trunks. Trunks didn't prepare to block instead he thought. "This is it, it's now or never. I'm not going to fall back, I will win!" Then he too launched forward in attack…To Be Continued
