The Arrival of Cygod

Chapter 4: Goku vs. A Frigidaire?

Disclaimer: Haven't owned DBZ for the past 3 chapters...Guess what, I still don't!

"Vegeta!" Gotenks yelled as he looked at Vegeta's eyes, they had become two empty circles. His mouth was agape and tears still flowed down his cheek.

"So, Gotenks," Cygod started as his form again shifted, this time to Super Buu, "care to take your turn?"

Gotenks quickly began to gather power. He realized that his highest level would be needed to compete with the robotic warrior and he'd have to keep himself alert since this being used intelligence as an added weapon.

"Yaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Came the final yell as a gust of an energy-enriched wind blew across the C.C courtyard. Gotenks' hair reached his knees now, he peeled off his vest and stretched out his legs. 'This is not gonna be easy' he thought as he got ready for whatever came his way.

Cygod smiled, his mouth full of the same fangs that the original Buu had, "Look behind you," he shouted to Gotenks. Gotenks instead threw a fist back and was quite surprized when it impacted something. He wheeled around only to see another Cygod drawing back a fist. Thinking quickly Gotenks flipped above it and came to a ready stance in mid-air. Two balls of energy surrounded his hands as he placed them right infront of the second Cygod's face.

"Shine Shine Missile." he said quite softly, as if it were to be expected. Beam after beam launched itself from Gotenks' palms and within a few seconds there was yet another crater in the area of Capsule Corporation. The Buu Cygod was now running toward Gotenks, as he got nearer, the one that had just been blasted shot into the air and transformed into pure energy. Cygod jumped up and grabbed the energy ball and disappeared, the familiar sound of someone's zanzoken behind Gotenks caused him to turn quickly, only to come face to face with a energy ball easily the size a small moon.

"Oh, shit." Gotenks muttered before he felt the burning explosion tear at his body. He spun several times in the air before slamming into one of the previously created craters. His body glowed white for a moment before it split into two, the fusion had ended.

"G-goten," Trunks struggled to his knees before falling on his face again, "can y-you move?" There was no response. Trunks looked to his left only to see something that would haunt him for years to come. Goten's body was blasted open right where the blast would have hit Gotenks. Trunks stared in horror as through Goten's open wound, he could see his heart beating, beating, and beating no more.

"You heroic son of a bitch!" Trunks cried, his tears forming a puddle under his face, "You forced yourself into taking control of the fusion when you saw what was coming didn't you?" Trunks crawled to Goten's corpse and cradled it in his arms before letting out a cry that would send banshees fleeing in terror. "YOU HAD TO SAVE ME, I'M OLDER I'M SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY LITTLE BUDDY! ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND! GOTEN YOU HAD TOO MUCH OF YOUR FATHER IN YOU! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" Trunks stood fully restored and in a new form, SSJ2.

Placing Goten's dead body back on the ground Trunks put his hand over his best friend's eyes, allowing them to shut and letting Goten rest. "I'll let this bastard know that he shouldn't mess with the Prince and his fool!" Trunks waved his hands wildly in the air as tears splashed onto his torn jacket. His fingers formed a diamond shape and he pointed it directly at Cygod, "Burning Attack!" The narrow beam of energy pierced straight through Cygod's chest, shards of the alien metal flew everywhere.

"T-t-trunks...fin-finish him boy!" Vegeta had awoken and though he was in intense pain he gave his son his encouragement.

Trunks ran at the stumbling Cygod and kicked him into the air. He brought his hands to his side and yelled for anyone around to hear, "This is for my best friend, Son Goten, we'll miss you, you stupid brave moron. Kamehame HA!" And as though it were an incarnation of revenge itself, the usually blue beam turned blood red and lanced through the air. The explosion of the blast shook the ground for miles and broke windows in many of the nearby buildings.

Trunks' hair faded back to purple as he felt two familiar kis approaching him quickly and another few coming at a slower rate.

"Trunks what happened?" Piccolo asked as he landed in the now obliviated courtyard.

"Well, obviously Mom's Saiya-jin proof housing material worked." Trunks pointed out that the main building of C.C had barely any damage, "Other than that, Goten died saving me, and dad's back is broken. Tien can you bring dad inside, I'll take Goten."

"Hai, I'm sorry we weren't faster Trunks, I wish we could have helped." Tien chopped Vegeta in the neck, knocking him out for mercy's sake.

"You couldn't have, it took a new transformation to destroy it." A few years back, Bulma had discovered that an initial transformation to the next level of SSJ was more powerful than later transformations not triggered by the rage that powered the Saiya-jin.

"Still, I feel horrible for failing to protect the people I care about." Tien surrounded Vegeta in a bit of psychic energy and lifted him as to protect his back, "We'll get him into a healing chamber, he should be better in a matter of days."

"Piccolo, fly to Krillen and Yamcha, they're coming this way, tell them to go back to Kame Island, I think everything is under control here." Trunks gathered Goten in his arms and walked into the medical wing of Capsule Corp.

"Something doesn't feel right." Piccolo muttered to himself as he rocketed to where he felt Krillen and Yamcha's kis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Trunks, I'm so sorry," Bulma held her son in her arms and cried with him as Goten's body lied not 10 feet away on a stretcher, covered with a sheet.

"Its ok mom, Namek's not too far away, I'm sure they won't mind us using the Dragon Balls there again." Trunks walked out of the room and immediately stared in the direction Piccolo had gone in, "Kis flaring? What the hell." He felt Tien heading there too, obviously he had felt it as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seemed the two of them had arrived just in time. As they neared the battle site, they saw a capsule plane in sinking into the water, smoke billowing from several holes in the hull, more unbelievable was the fact that there were four Cygods. One for each Z-fighter, Piccolo, Krillen, Yamcha, and #18. They both pushed themselves toward their friends faster but just before they got within the needed distance to help, two flashes of light stopped them in their tracks. They had each gotten their own Cygod. The newly arrived Cygods began to change their form, it was then that Trunks noticed that each of the other Cygods had taken a form that apparently struck fear into the warrior they were facing. #18's was Cell form two, Krillen's was fourth form Freeza, Yamcha's had taken on Nappa's form, and ironically enough Piccolo's was Gohan as a child.

"There's no telling what we'll be up against" Tien muttered as he got ready to fight. Trunks went into his newly aquired SSJ2 state, and just as Bulma's theory had suggested, he was already weaker.

Tien's Cygod had formed itself into a Cell Jr. while Trunks' had taken a shape that while strange, was quite understandable, Vegeta.

(A/N: for this part of the story I will refer to each character's Cygod as the form they took e.g. Piccolo is fighting Gohan)

Piccolo grabbed Gohan by the tail and spun him around rapidly flinging him into Freeza and Nappa. Krillen and Yamcha took the opportunity to do something that neither of them thought they would ever have to do again.

"Kamehame HA!" they both shouted as they launched their beams into all three Cygods in their vicinity. Gohan was blasted back toward Piccolo who grabbed him and threw him toward the ocean below. He then put two fingers to his forehead and growled for a moment.

"Makankosappo!" The drill beam struck Gohan just before he hit the water. Piccolo followed up with the trademark Renzoku Energy Dan.

#18 was laying it into Cell as she punched and kicked at any opening that appeared before her. Occasionaly she'd fire a blast when it seemed necessary for added power. She looked beyond her opponent and saw Tien battling Cell Jr. toward her. Tien noticed her as well and they both dropped back and ki blasted their two Cygods into each other, the two were then decapitated as a Kienzan created by Krillen and being controlled by Yamcha (think Sokidan like control), shot by. Glancing around #18 saw that Nappa and Freeza had suffered the same fate. Piccolo shot up from the depths below with a battered silver Gohan in his hands, he squeezed as hard as he could and began to charge up around it. He let the ki enveloped Gohan fly toward Cell and Cell Jr. and the three defeated machines floated there sparking every once in a while. Krillen had dispersed his Kienzan and had kicked Freeza into the floating pile of scrap. Yamcha brought the headless shining behemoth Saiya-jin to the dump as well, this just left...

Trunks had started things of lightly, not knowing what the Cygods had been capable of in the first place. Vegeta had quickly shown him that he was not to be taken lightly as he used many of Vegeta's signature techniques. After a Finishing Buster that had stunned Vegeta, Trunks put his hands in front of him and powered into a Final Flash.

"You're nowhere near as good as my father! HE COULD TAKE YOU ALL! FINAL FLASH!" the beam shot through Vegeta's shoulder and he joined the rest in the pile of beaten Cygods.

The warriors surrounded the pile and began to power up their most powerful attacks to finish the lot. Just as they were about to release their shots the Cygods disappeared only to reappear right behind the ones they had originally been fighting, fully regenerated.

"Did you think it would be that easy?" they all asked at once. Sparks jumped all around them, letting the Z-warriors know that whatever these things were, they were powering up. The Cygods got ready to fire their own attacks, obviously modeled after whomever's form they had taken. "Good bye, worthless warriors." The blasts were fired, the next thing any of the fighters knew, they were on an island and a golden blur was fighting all six Cygods where they had just been.

"Who the hell?" Yamcha asked.

"I'll tell you who...Gohan" Piccolo smiled, "One pissed off Saiya-jin C.P.A"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was indeed Gohan, and Gohan was indeed pissed. He kicked Freeza and his dress shoe went right through his body. Chibi Gohan charged at him, and was dismissed by a mere flare of the older Gohan's ki. A third attack destroyed the rest of them, a spinning assault of ki beams.

"What the hell are these things?" Gohan asked no one in particular as his SSJ2 energy crackled around him. He then noticed the scraps and shards of metal and wire coming together in one spot.

"Oh shit, not another regenerating villian" Gohan sighed as Cygod completely reformed himself.

"Son Gohan, how good of you to join the fight, I guess I won't have to hunt you down afterall." Cygod began to shape-shift and decided on the form of Radditz. "Now be a good boy and die for Uncle Radditz why don't you." Gohan simply laughed and dropped down to another island, 'I think I'd like to stand on solid ground for this, can't afford to get this new business suit wet.' Gohan thought as he landed.

"I see my shape shifting has no effect on you. I guess I can stop with the silver copies now," Cygod's silver body began to gain color and he took on a form of his own. When this final shape shift was over Cygod stood before Gohan a 6'0" humanoid being with short black hair and shining blue eyes, Saiya-jin style armor (cuz its cool), and lightly tanned metallic "skin". (Ok I can't make a cool looking villian, so I made me. This isn't a self-insert I just needed a description I could imagine while writing)

"Judging by our little clash just now I think I should stop playing around and take you seriously, you're far more powerful than even Trunks was when he hit level 2 a while ago." Cygod crossed his arms as a lightning bolt struck him from above and began to crackle around his body. 'Obviously his way of powering up' thought Gohan.

"I hope you realize that you have no chance Gohan. Within my power source lies all the energy I've absorbed from the planets I've destroyed. It's like you're taking on the rest of the universe all at once." Cygod smiled, "The amount of power I'll use against you is nowhere near what I'm fully capable of. Soon you'll be crying for your daddy!" he charged at Gohan quickly, giving the demi-Saiya-jin little time to react. Gohan allowed the first punch to land, merely to gauge his opponent's capabilities.

'He's not joking, he really is strong!' Gohan's mind yelled as his feet dug two trenches while he skidded to a halt across the ground. Gohan concentrated on bringing the Mystic power given to him by the Old Kaio back to the surface, if he could maintain both SSJ2 and Mystic at the same time he knew he could beat Cygod. He'd never tried anything like this before; although, deep in his Saiya-jin side, he wanted to see just how powerful he was. His hair faded to black, then back to gold, black again, and returning to gold one more time before he reached his goal, when the Mystic form and SSJ2 combined his hair was both colors, some strands glowing gold, others a deep black. His eyes had changed as well, forming a spiral of teal-green and black.

"Ready, metal head?" Gohan asked softly before rushing toward Cygod so fast it appeared he was it two places at once. He drove his left elbow into the machine's chest while his right palm was forced into its chin. The force of the attack shoved Cygod back; taking advantage of the distance between them Gohan threw his right leg into a roundhouse to Cygod's face. Gohan kept the spinning motion of his attack and floated into the air, another lightning fast kick flung Cygod into the air. Gohan stopped spinning and put his hands above his head, "Maaasennnkoooo!" he yelled as he shot his beam at the out of control space machine.

"It won't be that easy Gohan!" Cygod laughed as he stopped suddenly and faced the oncoming attack. He placed one hand in front of him as Vegeta would for a Big Bang, but he also put his other hand behind it forming a plus sign with them. "Nova Beam!" he shouted and a flashing white beam rocketed from his hands, it connected with the Masenko and quickly pushed it back toward Gohan.

"No way, it can't be...I won't be killed by my own attack!" Gohan screamed. The beam was getting closer to him but he couldn't throw it off, Cygod's power was too much for even a SSJ2 Mystic to handle. "I'm sorry, I've failed," Gohan whispered as he felt his two-colored hair being singed by the heat of the beam getting closer. Just before it hit him, he felt an energy signal appear next to him, the blinding light of Cygod's beam prevented him from seeing whoever it was, but something about the Ki, was so familiar, so warm, he could swear he knew it. He heard the owner of the Ki speak, it was a deep voice, it sounded otherworldly, yet it sounded friendly, and it spoke words that he had heard oh so often.

"Ka," it began, 'Who are you?' Gohan thought

"me," 'Your Ki is so...familiar'

"ha," 'How do you know that attack?'

"me," 'Oh Kami, I know you, I'd bet my life on it'

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" 'Your aura is so soothing, it makes me want to cry for some reason'

The Kamehame Ha pushed combined with the Masenko and pushed Cygod's Nova Beam back toward him at amazing speed. There was an immense explosion and over the boom Cygod could be heard screaming in pain. The light faded and Cygod was no where to be seen. Gohan looked to his side and saw a fearsome creature, a humanoid dragon, with green scales and a yellow body. Its wings were flapping, and with each flap, tiny energy bolts jumped into the air. It turned to him. Gohan jumped back, scared, but still feeling somehow drawn to this demon. It smiled, its mouth full of fangs. It pulled its arms to its side and then threw one into the air its hand clenched into a fist.

"YOSH!" it yelled. Its voice no longer deep and powerful, but high and childish, "That was close, ne Gohan?"

All at once it hit Gohan, he knew who this was, and the appearance made perfect sense to him now.

"OTOUSAN!" Gohan grabbed Goku in a tight hug and cried into his shoulder, "You're back Otousan, you're back!"

"It's ok Gohan, my back's ok, just got wings now." An ever clueless Goku said as he patted his oldest son on the head.

"It's gonna come back, it's got more power still." Gohan dropped back and got ready for whatever came to him.

"No, Gohan, I'll take this fight, you go take care of Piccolo and the others." Goku looked up and saw a silver streak coming from above, "I'll finish him in no time...I'll avenge your little brother Gohan."

"Hai, be careful dad, he's got the power of the rest of the universe with him." Gohan powered down and flew toward the island he put Piccolo and the others on beforehand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cygod had come back to Earth, his body form still in his "True Form" but still uncolored. He flew toward Goku and stopped about 10 feet from the dragon warrior.

"Son Goku," it whispered

"You're good!" Goku smiled, "Can you tell what I'm thinking...NOW?"

"Just as pitifully stupid as ever I see, even with Shenlong's added brain power."

"That's not nice, and I complemented you. See if I let you get in any hits." Goku mock pouted.

"Oh you'll be too paralyzed with fear to dodge or block my attacks." Cygod smiled and began to shape shift into...

"A NEEDLE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Goku yelled, "Oh man I wish I wasn't scared of these things!"

Again the scale on the middle of his forehead glowed and a white energy surrounded him.

'Hey...I'm not anymore!' Goku laughed mentally. The power of the dragonballs inside of him had allowed him to grant himself a wish. 'I've got an idea' he thought. As the Needle Cygod began to rush toward him, the point aimed at his heart, Goku began to cycle other fears through his mind.

"What the hell?" Cygod asked as his body stopped in mid air and shifted involuntarily into...Chi Chi. All the other Z-Warriors on the island had a good laugh at that. Cygod tried to charge again but was stopped, this time to transform into an empty fridge. Cygod growled and tried again, only to be stopped again as he transformed into a baby Gohan with a dirty diaper. The laughter on the island below was growing in volume.

"ENOUGH!" Cygod yelled, reverting to the form he battled Gohan in. "Your simple mind is filled with trivial matters as your fears. Looks like I'm relying on power this time."

"Either that or your gonna make me laugh to death." Goku smiled, but not for long as Cygod rushed at him. The next battle had begun.

END CHAPTER 4.

I had the whole Goku's fears thing planned for a while, but I didn't know how and when to put it in. I just thought it'd be pretty funny. R-n-R please, I'd like to get some input for the next chapter.
