Vee: Here we are...born to be kings...
Reda: Oh no! Don't tell me he even sings in his sleep!
Trunks: I'm afraid he does, Reda.
Reda: Someone wake him up. He sings better when he's awake, even if it still sucks.
Goku: But, Reda, he's having a nice dream...
Vee: I'm the prince of the universe!!!!!
Goku: (covers his ears) Ouch that was way out of tune...
Reda: See what I have to deal with? Now, wake him up...please!!!
Trunks: (kicks Vee, therefore waking him up.) Is that awake enough?
Vee: Huh? Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Trunks: Vee, you sing in your sleep.
Vee: Oh really? Cool!! I want to sing now...
All but Vee: No!!
Vee: Awe...you're mean! I'm going to go tell Vegeta you gave his money to Goku, Reda.
Reda: What?
Vee: (disappears) See ya!
Reda: Oh great! I don't deserve this!
Trunks: (sweat drops) I told you taking my dad's money was a bad idea.
Reda: It's not that. It's that Vee's going to get revenge on Vegeta and me with the same thing!
Goku: Why is that so bad?
Reda: ...Never mind.

Chapter 32: Sadiran
Whew! My hand hurts now! Okay, on to the battle against Psyfoam. This is going to be a doozy (and not as quick as the tournament fights). Well, anyway...
Secrets...dangerous or helpful? Or even both? Guess it depends which side you're on, doesn't it? Secrets should not be over looked, for it is secrets that can cause the worst damage, but in the end...there's still the question...Are secrets dangerous or helpful?
----------------------
Vee stared at Psyfoam. That's all he could do right now, just stare. With his arms crossed and hatred pumping through him as memories flooded the essence of his mind, Vee could only glare at his enemy. And Psyfoam took notice of this, but did not seem to care.
"I will ask again. Are you sure you have the power to beat your master, Vee?"
The young Saiyan gritted his teeth, uncrossed his arms, clenched his fists, and set his legs apart. "Of course I'm sure, Psyfoam! I've followed your orders for far too long, and you've been stupid enough to force training!" He smirked, and it was so cocky it even surpassed Vegeta's best smirk. "I will fight you, and win. This I swear to."
And with a loud yell, Vee began to power up. He zoomed through the first Super Saiyan levels so fast that no one was certain he had even gone through them at all. Reda was already shaking her head as Vee left the third and fourth levels in the dust; he had already reached his highest point in just a mater of seconds.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Vee, you disappointment me. You and I both know that you can't control your 5th form for even an hour's worth of time," Psyfoam said with an almost-sigh.
"Shows how much you know!" Vee shouted as he shot off from the ground, his tail wrapped securely around his waist, not that it mattered if he was stupid enough to allow Psyfoam to grab it; his tail was nothing to him now, not a strength, not a weakness, just a nice side attraction that went with his good looks.
Vee stormed on Psyfoam, mad with rage. He charged with his fist out, ready to pound the smirk off of Psyfoam's ugly face. Just before fist could meet mouth, an ugly black tail protruded from Psyfoam's black cape and set to grappling with Vee, who was trying his hardest just to get his wrist free. His free hand was busy pulling at Psyfoam's tail, but it wouldn't so much as budge. He pulled and pulled, but nothing changed. He even tried to kick Psyfoam, but he wasn't quite close enough to pull that trick off. And Psyfoam just stood there, one of his tails gripping Vee's right wrist, holding him fast; the black demon continued to just stand still and smirk, and it made Vee angry.
Aaah...You damn bastard! I'm going to knock that smirk off your ugly face it it's the last thing I do!" Vee shouted as he powered up to his fullest.
His already red hair went even redder, mocking the rage Vee felt. He screamed as his power rose, screamed in rage as well as to force himself to control all this power. He began to feel lightheaded and heard ringing in his ears, but he pushed it aside; he would not humiliate himself because he couldn't control his great power; he would not!
Finally, Psyfoam's smirk dropped as the tail holding Vee's wrist evaporated at the Super Saiyan's energy. Finally, the evil being realized what he was up against, but he still refused to power up because he still was not worried in the least. He began to collect energy in the palm of his hand, pure black energy, and Vee was so busy powering up he took no notice. When the energy blast was the size he wanted, Psyfoam stopped collecting it and took a moment to study Vee. Vee's clothes were waving in the wind caused by his enormous upgrade in power, even Psyfoam's cape waved behind him. Putting is smirk back on, Psyfoam fired his black energy and almost laughed when the cocky, young, Saiyan Prince still didn't notice.
In the second before the blast exploded, Psyfoam dropped his smirk and frowned. As the smoke filled the air, Psyfoam turned his eyeballs to look out of the corner of his eye on the left. Blasted girl! Just like Goku; won't let Vee die even if he's her greatest rival! He gritted his teeth, but crossed his arms, refusing to move from his position.
He caught Goku's glare amid the smoke. The Saiyan was still standing with the others, even though Vee and Reda had taken their move against him. Psyfoam smirked as he met Goku's glare full of hatred. I know just the thing to get rid of you, Saiyan, to teach you another lesson; it's time to test out my hidden secret.
"Reda! What was that for? Oh...Still, I almost had him!"
"Vee, this is our fight. Don't you understand that? I hate Psyfoam just as much as you, and your pride ain't gonna make me stand back and watch! Besides, you can't beat Psyfoam with just strength. You need defense, too."
"Fine, fine, but don't get used to the idea of us working together 'cause after we finish off Psyfoam I'm on my own again!"
Finish me off? I think you underestimate me now more than ever you wretched, foolish children! Psyfoam chuckled evilly, closing his eyes as the remnants of smoke left him. "You're still the same foolish children I picked up years ago."
"What?" Reda and Vee demanded together, landing behind Psyfoam, both getting pissed at being called foolish children.
Perfect. Psyfoam grinned as he chuckled softly. "You two have barely learned a thing since I first forced you to commit allegiance to me. You're both still fools to think I would risk training three of the strongest fighters in the universe without a back up plan ready."
"What?" Reda's voice, shaky with nervousness and confusion, made Psyfoam even more pleased with himself.
He turned to face his two disobedient slaves, opening his eyes with a smirk stretched across his lips. "You two aren't the only ones with plans and secrets. I have my own as well, and mine are flawless because I am the greatest genius ever created. You two will fight me, alone."
"That's where you're wrong, Psyfoam!" Vee was too overconfident. "We won't fight you alone because Goku and the Z fighters are going to help us kick your ass!"
Psyfoam just chuckled at that, but when he eyes Vee his smirk had turned into a frown and his eyebrows had lowered as he prepared for a battle. "I hate to disappoint you, Vee, but the Z warriors will be too busy with Sadiran to help you and Reda fight me."
"Sa...di...ran?" Reda whispered under her breath. And then a massive roar filled the air as Psyfoam's secret became known.
--------------------
Goku stared at the monster before him; it was a monster, and it seemed to remind him a lot of Yakkon, Babidi's monster. This one was the same ugly green color, but it wasn't quite as big. It was tall and muscular, but not big...and it even looked intelligent, to some degree. It had claws, not fingernails, even if it did have five fingers, and its two feet looked like the feet of a dragon. The long and big tail (which reminded him of Frieza's tail rather than of Psyfoam's thin "tails") became apparent when it walked forward and curled the green tail in front of its feet.
Even if the monster seemed dangerous, Goku was excited at the promise of a fight. Hopefully, it would prove to be a challenge...he looked toward the distant area where Reda and Vee were fighting Psyfoam...but not too hard of a challenge. He still had to beat the thing so he could help Reda and Vee battle Psyfoam; he just didn't want it to be over too fast.
"Aaah...Goku! What is that thing?" Krillin shouted, jumping from foot to foot as if scared.
"I don't know!" Goku replied just as the green tail came slicing toward him; he barely jumped away in time.
"Krillin!" Eighteen's call made it clear Krillin had not dodged the tail in time, but Goku didn't have time to make sure his buddy was okay; Psyfoam was waiting.
Suddenly, Supreme Kai appeared by his side. "I think I what that is." Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "It's one of Psyfoam's creations; damn it all! His genius is just too much!"
"Hey, calm down. It doesn't appear to be that tough. I can take it on and finish it off in a couple of minutes, no problem."
"I wouldn't be so sure, Goku. This is Psyfoam's creation we're talking about. There's no tell..."
Suddenly, the creature interrupted. "Hey! I'm not an 'it!' I'm a he and my name's Sadiran. Now stop your talking and let's get on with it! I wasn't created by the Almighty Psyfoam to watch you talk; I was created to watch you die!"
Sadiran's fist flew out at Goku and the Saiyan easily ducked to dodge. But when he stood back up, Supreme Kai was on the ground six meters away, bleeding heavily from a severe gash on his right side. As Sadiran's tail came flying out at him, Goku noticed the stain of blood and lowered his eyebrows.
"All right then. If that's how you want to play; I won't show any mercy." The fact that he's just a creation of Psyfoam's makes it easier for me to kill him.
Goku smirked as the golden light of the Super Saiyan surrounded him; it would have blinded everyone around him if they weren't used to it. With a scream he charged further, passing through the second and third levels faster than he should have been able to under "normal" circumstances.
Behind a tree, standing with his arms crossed and a frown on his face, Vegeta grunted at the power he felt from the wind that brushed through his hair and slightly ruffled his tight gi. Piccolo's mouth opened in surprise at the way Goku's power in SS4 had escalated even further than it had been earlier today; he should be used to this kind of power from the Saiyans, especially Goku, but this was still a surprise. Trunks and Goten, having been forced away from the action by Sadiran's tail, nearly crumpled down in shock and partial fear at the feel of Goku's power and the knowledge that Reda and Vee were even stronger with Psyfoam above them; they looked at each other with all that surprise and shock on their faces as they both realized that even Gotenks would have trouble with Psyfoam, and gulped. Deep in the forest, Pan watched from a tree branch, her eyes shaking even as she clenched her fists as if she wanted to join the fight; she wasn't watching Goku battle Sadiran, but rather had her eyes focused on the punk kid fighting Psyfoam with all that vehement hatred in every single punch; she was scared at the way Psyfoam seemed to be toying with the youths, who had all that power.
--------------------------------------
Goku: (smiles) Finally, I don't suck in a fight! It's about time, Reda.
Reda: What do you mean by that? Oh...yeah...I guess that's true...heh, heh, heh...
Trunks: (shakes his head) You two are brother and sister? I never would have guessed.
Goku: Hmm? Why, Trunks?
Trunks: Never mind.
Reda: Trunks, what are you getting at?
Trunks: I'll tell you later. Be right back. (Disappears)
Reda: What was all that about?
Vegeta: (walks in) Reda! So, you gave my money to Kakarot, did you?
Reda and Goku: (gulps)
Reda: Yes...and?
Goku: Vegeta, I didn't know...
Vegeta: Shut up! I want some explanations, you two! I'm the eldest here. Why was my money used for Kakarot's food?
Reda: I...uh...um...VEE!!
Vee: Sorry, Reda, this is your problem. (He leaves from his position behind the door)
Goku: Vegeta, come on. We can pay you back...
Vegeta: Oh really? Then where's the payback?
Reda: I'm kind of broke right now...
Vegeta: So?
Reda: Goku?
Goku: Sorry, I don't do anything for money.
Reda: No, not that, pull the plug.
Goku: Oh...
