Chapter 13

And the moral of the story... Never piss of a Super Saiyan

Picard clung against the tree branch. He had been trained to clasp onto something in case of a hull-breech, but this was different. Picard wasn't on his starship he was on a lush green planet and he wasn't being sucked into space rather he was being blown away by the incredible energy that Goku was generating.

"Captain!" Data yelled from another tree. "Goku is currently generating more energy than the Romulan, Klingon, Federation, and Dominion fleets combined!"

Then suddenly it all stopped. Goku stopped yelling. All that remained of the incredible energy was a golden fiery aura that surrounded him. Q stood in the center of the ring waiting for Goku to make the first move. Goku charged at Q who disappeared just as Goku swung his arm to make his first attack. Goku instantly turned around and caught Q's own attack Then they both disappeared. Picard looked on the tricorder to see the pair striking furiously at each other each blocking his opponents moves. Goku suddenly got his fist through to Q's face. The entity lunged back stunned Goku used this window of opportunity to give Q a quick kick in the back almost knocking Q out of the ring but at the last second he vanished and reappeared high in the sky above Goku.

"You can't win Goku!" Q yelled down "Give up now while you still have a choice and still can breath."

"Q!" Goku yelled back "I will beat you!"

"Wrong." Q retorted "You'll beat yourself!" With that Q snapped his finger and Goku raised his fist and smacked himself across his face. Then his other fist came up. Goku tried to fight it but he once again hit himself in the face. Before anybody knew what was going on Goku was pummeling himself.

"You're cheating!" Krillen yelled. Q landed next to Goku and approached the edge of the ring and looked at Krillen.

"You gonna stop me?" He said "I humored you all in this little fight long enough but its time that you see what real power is."

Suddenly Goku screamed and Q pulled his attention back to him, but it was too late as the Saiyan kicked the cosmic entity in the jaw. Goku didn't let up in an instant he was on top of Q, hitting him in every way he could.

"But how..." Q muttered between hits "did you break ...ow.... My ...ouch.... Spell?" Suddenly Q snapped his finger and Goku suddenly rocketed up into the sky out of view. "That should take care of him." Q said but just as the words left his lips Goku came rocketing back down and smashed Q into the ground.

Q acted before Goku did he grabbed Goku by the neck and lifted him into the air. He began to choke Goku they both flew out of sight. But they could hear Goku screaming. And Q yelling.

"I said you'd never beat me! Now you will die I'll suffocate you, break your neck!"

Picard looked at the tricorder he could see Q strangling Goku whose arms were flailing around wildly. Suddenly Picard's comm.-badge chimed "Enterprise to Picard. Come in Captain Picard." It was Riker's voice. Picard tapped his comm.-badge. "Will," He said. "How did you find us?"

"It wasn't hard," Riker responded "this is the only class M planet that's generating more energy than four starfleets. What's going on?"

"Q and Goku are fighting. And Goku is losing. We can send you the images from our tricorder." Data began to tap his tricorder and sent the image to Riker.

"Captain, We have to do something but what?"

Before Picard could answer Goku came crashing down and they heard Q yell "now my saiyan friend I'll kill you! With your own move. KA..."

"Commander, listen to me." Picard said but there was no answer.

"ME"

"Picard to Riker"

"HA"

"Riker come in"

"ME"

"Commander Riker! Beam Goku to the Enterprise now!"

There was still no answer but just before Q could finish the Kamehameha there was a huge rumbling in the sky, they all looked up to see the Enterprise barreling toward Q!

"OH OF ALL THE STUPID!" Was all Q could say as the starship opened fire on the entity? Phasers and Quantum torpedoes exploded on top of him. Hurtling him to the ground. The Enterprise suddenly swooped up and went back towards space.

"Sorry Sir," Riker's voice came over the badge-badge "It was the only thing I could think to do at the time."

"A bit drastic Number One," Picard responded "but effective. Commander prepare to beam..."

"NO!" Q yelled suddenly the communications were severed. "YOU CHEATED!"

"SO DID YOU!" Piccolo challenged

But before Q could counter Goku smashed his elbow into Q's back and began to fight. But before Goku could attack again Q snapped his finger. Suddenly a tail wrapped around Goku's neck and began to choke him.

"It's...its..." cried Krillen.

"Freeza!" Vegeta growled.

Q snapped his fingers again and an exact double of Vegeta appeared and began to hit Goku, then Radditz and then Piccolo. All joined the fight and began to beat the living daylights out of Goku.

"That should take care of him." He smirked suddenly Goku broke free just long enough to fire an energy beam at Q before being pulled back by the villains and being beat again. Q however didn't dodge the energy it just absorbed into him.

"Oh Goku!" Q yelled. I'll give this energy to your son." With that he fired the beam straight at Deanna who was holding Gohan. She didn't even have time to scream. When the light faded Gohan lay on the ground covered in ash but Deanna had all but been disintegrated. Picard stared at where his Counselor had been then looked to Q

"Oops" the entity said "Forgot about her." Picard felt a huge surge of anger in him. If he had had a phaser in his hands at the time he surely would have fired it at Q.

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. Everyone turned to see an enormous flash of light around Goku, which began to engulf all of his adversaries. Suddenly Goku screamed and the energy shot out destroying all the copies of his old enemies.

"QQQQQQQQQ!" Goku screamed the earth began to shake Goku's fire-aura began to ascend even higher. Then he charged full on at Q, and smashed him right in the face. Q sailed backwards Goku appeared behind him and grabbed him by the legs and shoulder and then smashed Q in the spine with his knee. Then he grabbed Q by the hair and threw him across the ring. Q stood up. Goku began to charge at him.

"This fight is over!" Q yelled as he snapped his finger, but Goku kept coming, Q snapped his finger again, Goku kept charging, "Oh shi." Q began to say but he didn't have time to finish his cuss-word as Goku smashed headfirst into him, and began to pummel him again.

"Intriguing, Captain," Data said "The tricorder has sensed that Q has been trying to use his powers on Goku just now but they seem to have no effect on him anymore. But why?

Picard thought for a moment. "It's finally happened;" Picard said finally "this is what Q feared. With Goku generating such power it rivals Q's, In fact I think that he must be generating so much power that it's nullifying Q's attacks."

Goku tossed Q into the air and then appeared above him. Bringing both hands above him he smashed the entity to the ground. Then landed next to him and lifted him by his shirt.

"I TOLD YOU!" He yelled "I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE US ALONE! BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN! GIVE UP Q! BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Goku let out a huge flash of energy, which knocked everybody to the ground.

"I'll never give up!" Q growled " I'm a Q! We're the most powerful..."

"You were the most powerful beings in the universe!" Vegeta interrupted, then he turned to Goku "Kill him Kakarot. You gave him his last chance. It's time to end it."

Goku looked at Vegeta then Q. "No" he said "Knowing that he was defeated by a somebody like us when he was fighting with everything is worse than death to him. Go Q and never bother us again."

Goku released Q who began to fly away. Goku approached where Gohan was lying. He picked up the young saiyan. Suddenly there was a flash of light and they heard Q yell.

"Never!" Suddenly Q fired a massive beam at Goku. The saiyan was too surprised to act, Just as the beam was about to hit the him. Vegeta stepped in the way and fired a beam of his own

"GALLET GUN!" He yelled as he began to push Q's beam back. Enraged Goku put Gohan down and stood by Vegeta.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" He yelled as his beam combined with Vegeta's and pushed Q's beam back until it engulfed him. When the smoke cleared Q was gone.

"Is he dead? Picard asked.

"No." Goku said. "But he's been split into billions of pieces it will take him a long time to get himself back together."

Just then there were several lights. As an away team beamed down to the planets surface. Doctor Crusher ran to the Captain with Riker right behind her.

"Jean-Luc!" Crusher said. "Are you all right? Q wasn't allowing us to beam down. What happened? Where's Q?"

Riker began to look around "Where's Deanna?" He asked. Looking at Data and then to Picard.

"Will" Picard began but was cut off by Goku who brought a limp Gohan to Dr. Crusher. Without being asked Crusher began to scan the boy with her med-scanner.

"Captain I have to get him to sickbay! His life signs are weak."

Picard looked at Riker who had begun to guess what had happened. "We had better go to the Enterprise." Picard said "I'll explain everything up there."
