Life After Armageddon

Episode 8: Miracle Super Power! Son Gohan meets the Demon King!

After a flight that seemed to last an eternity, Trunks arrived just outside the doors of the Capsule Corporation. To his surprise he found his mom leaving the building, "what happened at the tournament? The TV coverage was interrupted for some reason and never came back on the air," she said to him, a somewhat worried look on her face. "I really don't have time to explain it all, so I'll be brief. The earth is facing a greater threat than the artificial humans, it's strong, real strong and I think the only way I'm going to be able to beat it is to go to a higher level of power then I've ever reached before. I'm going to go to the healing chamber and regain my strength, then start training to go to the next level. In the meantime Mr. Popo and an extremely large man should be on their way here, make sure they get to see me. I recommend you stay inside until this situation is dealt with," Trunks told his mother, who nodded while looking blue in the face at the prospect of something more dangerous than the Artificial Humans.

Meanwhile in the spaceship of the Madoshi Babidi, Maju Yakon had just witnessed the bodies of the Kaioshin and his bodyguard Kibit be drawn together after each of them had one of their earrings knocked off, all of a sudden instead of feeling 2 rather large ki signals he now only felt 1, and it was enormous! The light that was being emitted from the source of the large ki temporarily blinded Yakon, finally when the light died down what stood before him was a being that in terms of body build and style of dress resembled Kibit, but was more like the Kaioshin in all other aspects. The new being examined its body and asked, "What has happened to us? We are now one, it would seem," said the being as if it was talking to another being within itself. It looked down at its feet and saw two of their earrings it picked them up and was struck with the realization of what had happened, "it would seem that these earrings we have worn for the longest time, will fuse together the wearers if each wears only one," it concluded. Quickly the newly formed being shifted it's attention to the matter at hand, "You can call me Kaiobit, and this form while less than favorable has provided me with an awesome powerup and now you shall die Maju Yakon!" declared the super warrior as he powered up to prepare to assault the fearsome demon beast.

In the afterlife, Enma Daiou was with Son Gohan who was ready to make his return to the world of the living for a single day, a day he planned to use to fight the kingpin of the Demon World of Darkness, Dabura with the fate of not just the earth, but the entire universe on the line as well. Enma had made all the preparations necessary and so he said, "Son Gohan I have an escort on the way to guide you back to the earth," to which Gohan replied, "I don't need one, I learned a technique from my father while training with him these past few years that will let me reach this Dabura fellow in second, it's called instantaneous movement." Enma quirked an eyebrow and asked, "Then why haven't you gone yet?" Gohan looked at Enma and said, "Because I've been trying to sense just how much power this guy has, and it just seems like his power has no end. Still I think I can manage something," he said grimly.

At Capsule Corporation, Trunks was now in the custom healing chamber his mother had built for him a short time ago trying to regain his strength, he figured about thirty minutes is all he would need to get back to full power. While he was in the chamber he tried to keep track of any powers that could be arriving at the building to make sure the building wasn't attacked and to also track the possible arrival of Mr. Popo and the man he saved who turned into a half-demon. He suddenly sensed a heavily damaged power approaching at a very fast rate, he could tell the power had been unconscious recently and was just now coming to its senses, it felt like the power of the half-demon, but he couldn't sense Mr. Popo. Indeed the body of Spopovitch was presently coming to rest just outside the Capsule Corporation building, as the last bit of ki Mr. Popo used to send it on this journey gently placed the now barely conscious body of Spopovitch on the ground, right in front of Trunks mother Bulma who got the medical staff right away.

The newly formed Kaiobit moved with incredible speed and in an instant was face to face with Maju Yakon! Yakon reacted pulling back one of his claws ready to take a massive swipe at his powered up foe but Kaiobit was ready! He intercepted the claw of the beast and with a simple tug detached it from its body! Yakon let out a scream of anguish and was staggering about the room in pain, Kaiobit knew this was his chance to end the fight! Using his newfound speed he found himself directly behind the monster, he leapt into the air and delivered a kick that sent the monsters head flying off of its body into the wall of the spaceship before hitting the ground with a squish. Kaiobit walked up to the final door that Babidi had magically sealed himself away in, "His magic should be no match for the ki energy we can generate, not anymore anyway," said the fusion of the Kaioshin and his Guardian as he placed his hand on the door and generated an awesome amount of energy that obliterated the door entirely. Kaiobit now found himself staring down Babidi; his mission was at last on the verge of completion.

Dabura was finally ready to address the lesser demons that had come into the realm with him and so he had them gather in the middle of the Heavenly Plane. "You know why we are here," said the demon king continuing, "I want the lot of you to leave this place and kill everything you come across, if you run into any beings of exceptional power report back to me. Though I don't think you will have to as that half-demon I pummeled earlier had the strongest ki I can sense and he's not in the greatest shape now. Though there could be something stronger keeping its ki suppressed, now go forth and cleanse this world for me!" commanded Dabura. After the demons flew off Dabura walked to the edge of the Heavenly Plane and thought aloud, "this has been quite an easy world to conquer," before he could continue his thought however he sensed a fairly large ki appear behind him out of nowhere! "Who are you," Dabura growled to the one impudent enough to interrupt him during this moment of satisfaction, "my name is Son Gohan and I'm here to kill you," replied the young man in an orange gi who had a halo.

It would be another 15 minutes until Trunks would be healed back to full power, he had been keeping his ki suppressed to buy himself some time to try and reach the next level of Super Saiya-Jin once he got back to full health. He was now disturbed however as he felt a horde of beings with a malicious ki spreading across the planet, and while their ki was nothing spectacular it would be more than enough to cause massive devastation. He had sensed the power of Dabura shortly before he made his way through the portal and was shocked at how big it was, he decided to try and feel it out again just to understand how much he would need to improve to catch it, he also felt another fairly large ki by Dabura, "my god, that ki. it can't be!" exclaimed Trunks.

"You're going to kill me," said Dabura who sounded amused before continuing, "I see you have a halo, I find it funny that a warrior of such low caliber is the best that the heavens could muster," said the demon king. "Let me show you just how low caliber I am," Gohan, replied before powering up and transforming into a Super Saiya-Jin! Dabura took a step back, "I see, that is more along the lines of what I expected, but you're still no match for me," gloated the demon king. "Oh, I'm not done yet," said Gohan continuing, "I've been busy training with my father in the afterlife almost non-stop the past several years, one day he found a way to surpass Super Saiya-Jin and so did I!" exclaimed Gohan as his ki shot through the roof and raised his power to the next level, it was Super Saiya- Jin 2! The massive ki Gohan generated pushed Dabura back slightly before he regained his foothold, as he looked Gohan in the eye and watched the electricity arcing around the body of the Saiya-Jin he was horrified to realize they were evenly matched.
