Gokhan: Father and Son Fusion

The saiyan figure's aura blazed. The transformation of Goku and Gohan was complete. Vegeta and Videl were rooted at the spot staring in abject horror at the extremely powerful warrior staring at them from across the room.

Leviathan charged at Vegeta but at the last second changed tactics and went for Videl. Her guard wasn't up as she was still in a state of shock from watching the saiyans fuse. His fist streamed toward her face with enough power behind it to rip her head clean off! Instead of connecting, Vegeta blurred in front of her and blocked the strike with his forearm at the last possible second. The shockwave of the hit knocked her off her feet, but it did succeed in snapping her out of the catatonic state.

Leviathan was impressed at the saiyan prince's strength; he was much more powerful than the last time they had met. For a brief second the two combatants strained against the other in a contest of strength, until Leviathan was forced to back off because he couldn't make any ground against Vegeta.

"Impressive," Leviathan muttered.

Vegeta chanced a look back at Videl, "Snap out of it, woman!"

Leviathan attacked kicking toward Vegeta's midsection, thinking the saiyan wouldn't be ready for him. He was astonished when he realized that Vegeta caught his kick, and he still hadn't turned around yet! Vegeta shoved the behemoth away as he raised his ki higher.

Videl stood up in the same defensive position that Vegeta was in. "I'm okay now."

"About time!"

Her eyes fell upon Leviathan who attacked again. She leaped away and landed on the other side of Vegeta as the monster crashed down where she once stood. "What's the plan?"

Vegeta turned toward the fused father/son, "Good question." He looked up at the Nistan who watched casually from his high perch, " I'll try to buy you some time. Go get the others and find the dragonballs!"

She nodded and blurred to super speed. Vegeta blurred after her a fraction of a second later and intercepted Leviathan. He roundhouse kicked the monster sending him flying across the room.

Leviathan skidded to a halt at the feet of the fused saiyan. He rubbed his throbbing chin and looked up at him, "What're you doing standing around? Let's go!"

Piccolo's aura was now all black, and Goten's was replaced with pure white. Dende picked up Goten and began healing him. Piccolo concentrated all his energy on Trunks, whose aura was still dark.

"This won't take much longer," Piccolo said through the strain.

Vegeta had powered up to second level and engaged Leviathan in combat. In the stage he was in Leviathan was a bit stronger, but he was still faster than the monster. Vegeta easily blocked and dodged the attacks, but he didn't fight back, he was too intent on the fused father/son combo who still stood there away from the battle. What is he waiting for, Vegeta thought as his forearm blocked Leviathan's elbow.

Videl tried opening the large doors with a ki blast and got a bolt of electricity that ran through her for her efforts. After she got up she inspected the doors with her ki and noticed that the doors were linked with energy. There was a panel next to the door, but she didn't know anything about pushing buttons! She considered blowing the panel away, but that might complicate matters further. She looked back at Vegeta and flinched as Leviathan landed a hard right across Vegeta's face. He staggered back, but he did not fall. Leviathan came at Vegeta again, and this time Vegeta didn't put up his defenses! Leviathan savagely kicked and punched him all around the floor; she could hear the wicked laughter of the winged alien as he looked on. She was tempted to rush back to Vegeta's aid, but the presence of her friends just beyond the door stopped her. She had to figure out a way to get through the door! The panel beeped and glowed beside the doors, almost as if it was taunting her.

"Is that all you got," Vegeta coughed, spitting out blood. "Hell, Krillin could do better than that!"

His answer came as his stomach exploded in pain. Leviathan withdrew his massive fist and grabbed Vegeta by the hair as he doubled over. He clenched his other hand into a fist and brought it up past his huge head. Leviathan grinned evilly, "I'm just getting started!" His fist came forward and smashed into Vegeta's face and Leviathan released his other hand as he connected, sending Vegeta sprawling across the floor.

Leviathan turned toward Gokhan who smiled and nodded appreciatively. Leviathan then turned his attention to Videl who was pushing buttons on the control panel to the doors of the detention center. Her back was toward him paying full attention to the control panel. Silently he blurred to super speed, intent on impaling her with his fist.

Vegeta barreled into him, causing them to come out of super speed. Vegeta snapped his head back, which connected on the chin of Leviathan. He sent a flurry of punches into the creature's stomach keeping him off balance. "Stay away from her," he grunted, "we're not finished yet!"

Dalron watched the battle from his high perch and was impressed at Vegeta's strength. He was much stronger and faster than back when he was on New Namek. His power exceeded that of Leviathan's! But then again, so did Gokhan. Leviathan was having his way with him until he turned his attention to the girl. Vegeta's spirit wasn't in the battle until then and now he was all over Leviathan like a rabid dog. But that was Leviathan's weakness, a short attention span coupled with a foe that was stronger than he was. Granted it didn't happen often, but when it did Leviathan made mistakes.

He turned to Gokhan who stood there watching the fight. Dalron probed the mind(s) of the warrior and found that he/them was giving Leviathan a crack at the enemy. The poison must be weakening, he thought, the concept of honorable combat has reentered their minds. It would be prudent to dispose of them before they become too much trouble soon.

The panel exploded after her continued attempts to break the entry code. It must've been some kind of failsafe, she thought to herself, now what am I going to do? She punched the door in frustration and a jarring bolt of electricity streamed through her. She got up slowly and cursed herself for being so stupid. Suddenly, her ki caught a sense of danger and she leapt high into the air on reflex. Leviathan and Vegeta tumbled over each other below her, punching, kicking and biting the other. Powering up, she fired a ki blast directly at the back of Leviathan who happened to roll up on top of Vegeta. The blast hit him dead-on, but he didn't flinch. His hands were wrapped around Vegeta's neck, squeezing the air out of his lungs. Leviathan turned to face Videl and smiled at her through splintered teeth.

Videl felt the anger rising within her and she powered up higher and blurred. She appeared next to Leviathan and her powerful kick sent the creature off of Vegeta. She hovered down to Vegeta who was rubbing his throat.

"Thanks," he said hoarsely.

"The door's shot! The control panel blew up and there's some kind of protection on the doors which makes it impossible to blast through."

"Damn," he cursed as he got up.

"What do we do now," she asked, glancing fearfully from Leviathan, who was getting up himself, and at Gokhan who just stood there.

"I don't know, but we'd better think of something quick!"

Piccolo released Trunks as his own aura was consumed in black. Screaming, he raised his hands up to the air and released the evil that had consumed the saiyan children. A stream of black liquid shot from his palms and coalesced into a ball. The ball churned upon itself as it got bigger as Piccolo expelled all of the poison from his system. The huge ball hung in the air, trapped by Piccolo's ki. The Grand Kai and Piccolo fired ki blasts into the heart of the ball. The ball disintegrated into nothingness from the power of their attacks, leaving no trace of its existence.

"It is done," Piccolo remarked gruffly. He looked over at Dende who had just finished healing Goten; "After Trunks is healed we'll go after the others."

"All right!" The Grand Kai exclaimed as he jumped in excitement.

Gokhan blurred in front of Leviathan and stood in a defensive posture. Vegeta's scowl darkened while Videl took an involuntary step back. Leviathan growled as he got up and was about to rush forward and crush the uppity saiyan prince, but Gokhan's raised arm blocked him.

"It's my turn," Gokhan said as his eyes bored into Vegeta.

"Fine," Leviathan spat, "I'll take on the woman."

They rushed forth eager to enter combat with their waiting foes.

Videl blocked Leviathan's rushing attack with raised forearms, but the impact knocked her back. She held her footing and was ready for Leviathan's next attack. To her he was very fast and strong, but Vegeta had taught her well. Her mind was ablaze with defensive routines and attack stances and Leviathan was following every one of them. Its as if Vegeta knew Leviathan's attack routine inside and out, because he was attacking the exact way as Vegeta had in the Room of Spirit and Time. Since she had trained in that environment for a year and had been up against the same attacks they were fairly easy to defend against. She knew the routine so well in fact that her arms and legs were already in position before the next attack came! Leviathan was getting angrier as the battle progressed. He was stronger and faster than her by far, however she was matching him move for move. She was even able to exploit several openings in his defenses and send in a few attacks here and there. Videl increased her ki as the battle waged on, trying to keep the massive monster in check. Vegeta had trained her well; the analytical part of her mind had completely taken over. Her mind raced as fast as she did creating counters to Leviathan's attacks and attacking when she could, the result was a stalemate.

Vegeta held his ki in check as well as his fear. In the blink of an eye, he considered going to super saiyan level three, but decided against it, as the strain still fatigued him over time and he would need all of his energy if they were to survive this encounter. Gokhan rushed Vegeta and he didn't even think that third level wouldn't be enough against such a force as the fused saiyans, especially if they could attain third level. Vegeta hunkered down but leapt backward at the last minute as Gokhan's fist came crashing down. His fist smashed through the ground, shattering where Vegeta once stood, and Gokhan didn't miss a beat, he leapt after Vegeta a split second later and engaged him with a flurry of punches and kicks. Vegeta was amazed by the uncanny resemblance of both father and son in the fused warrior. The fused warrior could easily have been mistaken for either Goku or Gohan; their facial features were all present. Vegeta's arms blocked the powerful punches and he dodged and moved avoiding the deadly knee and foot strikes of the fused warrior. The father/son fusion fought with their combined combat experience as well, melding their fighting techniques into one cohesive whole. Vegeta was purely on the defensive, as he didn't have time to react to anything else.

Videl jumped over Leviathan's crushing arm and grabbed his arm with her hands. Using the momentum of her jump and her own strength, she shifted her body and pulled herself toward him. She brought her knees up around his still outstretched arm and vaulted over it, streaking toward his face. Her knee's connected with his jaw, and she felt a grim satisfaction as she heard the sounds of several of his teeth shattering from the impact of her attack. The force of the blow slowed his forward momentum and she capitalized by spinning in mid-air and kicking the monster across the face, causing him to lose his balance. She screamed as she brought her hands forward and sent a large silver ki blast point blank into Leviathan's face. She blurred while Leviathan was still reeling from her previous attack and reappeared next to his massive legs. She clenched her hands together and used them as a battering ram, thundering into his right kneecap. Leviathan crashed to the ground as she leapt to the air and shouted as she sent a volley of energy balls that rained down on the fallen creature. Her vision became blurry from the smoke and debris that were caused by the explosions of her attacks, but she kept up the pressure.

Vegeta was reeling from a wicked uppercut from Gokhan. He didn't have time to react as he sensed Gokhan appear above him. All the air in his lungs was forcibly expelled as a knee exploded into his chest. A forearm followed, sending Vegeta skidding across the floor. Vegeta got to his knees slowly and breathed in painful gasps of air as his peripheral vision saw the fused warrior slowly levitate to the floor about twenty feet away from him.

"You're…strong," he gasped as he struggled to his feet.

Gokhan smiled and waited for Vegeta to get up. "Why are you holding back? That's not the Vegeta I used to know."

Vegeta felt his face redden as his anger rose. Screaming, he charged his enemy, his fist outstretched. Gokhan's smile never left his face, but he didn't raise his arms in defense. Vegeta powered up his ki and poured forth his anger and rage into his fist. There was a loud thunderclap of sound as his fist connected across Gokhan's face. Vegeta knew that hurt him and swiveled around in the air, shifting his weight and balance and kicked Gokhan in the small of the back as he sailed past him. Vegeta landed in a defensive position about ten feet away and watched Gokhan stumble as he tried to absorb the brunt of Vegeta's attacks. He could've done better, Vegeta thought to himself.

"That's more like it," Gokhan grunted in obvious pain as he regained his footing and turned to Vegeta. Vegeta noted a small trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth where his fist connected, and a deep bruise was forming around the affected area, showing the power of Vegeta's strength.

"Patronize me again, baka! I dare you," Vegeta growled dangerously. His aura flickered wit the violence and anger he was feeling.

Gokhan stretched his neck from side to side making popping noises. "You can still do better than that, Vegeta." He got in a defensive position, "Show me what you got!"

It took all of Vegeta's willpower to keep his anger in check. He powered up as high as he could go without going to third level and charged the smiling warrior.

Videl was forced to stop her assault on Leviathan as his fist exploded through the smoke and haze that surrounded her. She ducked under his fist in the nick of time and kicked into the smoke, trying to hit him in the stomach. She was caught by surprise as Leviathan grabbed her extended foot and drew her closer to him. She struggled to get out of his grip, but he was too strong for her. His other arm reached around her back and pulled her into his chest. Her screams of pain and agony were music to his ears as he squeezed tighter, slowly crushing the life out of her.

"What 'cha gonna do now, little girl?" he taunted. "You got nowhere to run now!"

Videl screamed as she struggled to free herself from his death grip. He squeezed tighter and she could feel the strain against her ribcage. The monster's laughter filled her ears and he squeezed tighter still.

Piccolo was the first to feel it. His eyes widened in horror at the realization of where the energy signature was coming from.

"No," he breathed, barely a whisper.

"What is it," The Grand Kai asked.

"Can't you feel it?" He gestured towards the mountain, "Stretch out your senses!"

The old Kai did as directed and his heart fell down to the pit of his stomach. "No way! That's insane! It's…"

"Goku and Gohan," Piccolo finished with finality. So their gamble had failed after all, he thought to himself.

"Finished," Dende exclaimed tiredly as Trunks rubbed his eyes.

"Good. Trunks! Goten! You two need to hurry up and fuse, and go to third level super saiyan; we're going to need all the power that you can spare!"

Goten and Trunks looked at Piccolo and saw the serious look in his face. The nodded as one and began the fusion dance.

"Grand Kai."

"Yo!"

"When the boys are finished lead them into the fortress to help the others. Dende and I will be with you as soon as we are done healing Krillin."

The Grand Kai saluted, "Yes sir, Piccolo, sir!"

Goten and Trunks finished their dance and Gotenks was born again, this time fighting once again on the side of the Light.

Gokhan staggered back rocked by another blow from Vegeta. The saiyan prince didn't disappoint, as he came at Gokhan with ferocity that only he could deliver. Gokhan blocked several blows but allowed others to follow through. The hits were painful and he was surprised that they did as much damage as they did. But Gokhan was still getting used to his new body and he wanted to test out his limits until he felt the need to get any stronger. Gokhan grunted as he doubled over from Vegeta's punch to his stomach. His feet actually lifted off the ground as Vegeta followed through with a vicious kick to the face! Gokhan landed scores of yards away from his combatant.

"Never underestimate me," Vegeta spat crouching down defensively.

Gokhan got up and rubbed his chin. There was a loud popping sound as he snapped his jaw back into place. He opened his mouth wide several times; making sure everything was back in place. He tasted his own blood, and it felt good! He looked back at Vegeta and smiled. "That's the spirit Vegeta, I knew you had it in you! Now lets take it to the next level!"

Vegeta was expecting this, but he wasn't looking forward to it. Gokhan's fists clenched and raised his ki. Loose pieces of the floor began to rise up from the ambient ki around Gokhan. The aura of mystic power flared to life around Gokhan, and he raised his ki higher. The floor began to shake…

Dalron watched the display from his perch, somewhat annoyed that the fight was dragging on for so long. From his chair he received reports from his underlings declaring that they were in position and read for his command to attack. He told them to wait and to be ready for another assault from the main entrance. Several hundred soldiers and scores of robots would slow down the second force, but more than likely would not stop them. The others were stationed around hidden exits ready to flood the room and engage their hated enemies at his command. Most of his crew waited their entire lives for this opportunity and he was not the type of person to disappoint them.

He kept a close eye on the fight between Leviathan and the woman, and was impressed at her tenacity. Her tactics were flawless against him; it was as if she was his sparring partner for ages. She somehow knew every trick in his book and had devised a way to counter them. Her power was impressive for such a tiny vessel and according to his preliminary scans of the planet the humans were not known to be strong fighters. Krillin, the three-eyed warrior and the others who were imprisoned were the exceptions to the general rule. Dalron flinched as he watched Videl's kick nearly take his friend's head clean off! Her ki registered an aura of desperation around her and something else that was directed to the fused saiyan warrior Gokhan. His intelligence knew that the female prisoner Chi-Chi was the wife of Goku, so it wasn't hard to come to the conclusion that her feelings extended to his son. That left an opportunity to exploit if things went astray from his wishes. It always paid to have a backup plan, especially when saiyans were involved.

He turned his attention back to Gokhan and Vegeta. He had trouble seeing because of Videl's flurry of energy attacks, but he was able to make out most of their combat. After a little while the dust and smoke cleared and his attention was directed back toward the woman and his friend. Leviathan had her in his patented bearhug, and he was crushing the life out of her. So sad, he thought to himself, she had gone so far only to lose. He redirected his attention back to Gokhan, satisfied with the results that Leviathan would soon produce. His eyes turned just in time to see Vegeta kick Gokhan across the floor. Why is he playing with him, he asked himself. Finish it and be done with him! A moment or two later he felt it. Gokhan's energy began to steadily rise. The room began to shake. Dalron was forced to spread his wings and activate his energy barrier due to the amount of damage that his transformation was causing, but it was such a beautiful sight!

Gokhan's scream began as a low bestial growl. The growl became louder, mimicking the steady rise in his ki. The growl turned into a shout as the mystic aura flared around him. The floor crushed itself downward under the weight of his powerful ki and the small crater grew deeper and spread outward, ripping up more of the floor, and send debris flying. Blue lightning danced across his body as he brought his clenched fists up from his side. Slowly, his eyes began to change color to that of a deep green. His shout rose in pitch, becoming a scream. His super saiyan aura flared to life, surpassing then merging with the mystic aura. His hair flashed golden blond, then back to black as his scream rose to a fever pitch. The ceiling began to crumble, sending large chunks of rock and metal down into the ever-widening crater. Finally his scream died down, his transformation complete. Gokhan hovered above the crater, a curious mix of his mystic and super saiyan auras radiated from him and his hair flickered back constantly from that of super saiyan gold-blond and back to black. Blue arcs of electricity danced around him and struck out on their own accord, melting rock and metal when they came into contact with it.

"Now we'll see who's the strongest," he remarked to Vegeta darkly.

Vegeta didn't reply, but his scowl told Gokhan all he needed to know.

The power of Gokhan's transformation to super saiyan/mystic saved Videl's life. Leviathan's back was turned from both Vegeta and Gokhan at the time and the energy given off by his transformation, coupled with the large chunks of rock and metal that were being thrown around caused Leviathan to loosen his grip slightly. It was just enough for Videl to wiggle her arms free and she powered up as high as she could go as fast as she could. The silver aura enveloped her and she poured forth the power at her command into her hands. She thrusted her hands into the monster's face and let loose with an energy blast that had all of her power behind it. The power and force behind it was enough for Leviathan to loose his grip on her completely, and he was sent crashing down to the crater where Gokhan was. She didn't acknowledge the pain she felt and forced it out of her mind. She looked over at Vegeta who stood across from Gokhan. Not thinking for her own safety, she blurred and appeared next to him.

Smoke rose from Leviathan's scarred visage. He climbed out of the crater and stood next to the powered-up Gokhan. He looked over and saw the woman appear across from him next to the saiyan prince. Anger welled up within the behemoth. That damn woman broke free from his death-grip! No one had ever done that before, and for that she was gonna pay!

"Let's finish this," he growled to his companion.

Gokhan turned and looked at the battered and bruised form of Leviathan and smiled. "Yes, let's end it right now!"

Leviathan gave a quizzical look at his companion, and that was the last thing he ever saw. Gokhan's extended arm struck with speed that was faster than thought! His strike took Leviathan's head clean off from his shoulders. The snap of the attack sent out a shockwave of air that continued until it his the far wall of the room that sliced through it and continuing on through out the rest of the fortress and into the rock of the mountain. Leviathan's head fell into the darkness of the crater, followed by his limp body. Gokhan slowly recoiled his arm back to its normal position and looked up at Dalron who stared down in disbelief.

Dalron was in shock! He killed Leviathan! He hovered there for long moments, trying to come to grips with what had just occurred. Finally he hovered down to stand across from the three warriors. Each stood at one end of the crater forming a triangle of power. "You," Dalron began, his voice quavered with emotion, "you killed him!"

Gokhan frowned and extended his arm down toward the crater. Blue energy sailed forth illuminating the crater. The explosion was enough to tell Dalron that nothing was left now of his friend, not even ash. The ferocity and coldness of the attack rooted him to the spot.

"Your friend is no more," Gokhan said darkly. "He's just like the rest of the people you killed on this planet: a memory. You're next."

Dalron glared at the saiyan warrior with utter hatred and was about to speak, but Gokhan cut him off, "You used us for your evil ends. It's time to right the wrongs that we have committed in your name! But not like this. It would be too easy to destroy you in this form. We're going to do it the old fashioned way; the saiyan way!"

With that Gokhan defused into Goku and Gohan. They levitated over to where their friends stood each never taking his eyes off of Dalron. Goku landed next to Vegeta while Gohan landed in front of Videl. Dalron slowly unsheathed the sword from his scabbard. He raised it in a salute and crouched down in a defensive stance, his wings flared out, what little light remained in the room reflected off the feathers.

Gohan felt Videl's head rest against his back and he heard her sob softly, "I knew you'd come back to me."

"It was your love and courage that brought me back," he explained, still not taking his eyes off of Dalron. "And once dad and I fused I was able to bring him back. It's all thanks to you Videl, you did it!"

"Enough," Goku spat hatefully, "Let's do this!"

Dalron waited…

A/N: Sorry for the lateness of the chapter. I didn't mean it, honest! I hope you readers out there liked the little plot twist I had here. Majunior7 came close in his review and props to that particular reader for coming to the right conclusion, but was a bit off in his theory. You see, Gohan was brought back by Videl and since he had embraced his darker half he was able to mask his aura as it were to appear as if he was still evil. He was biding his time until he and Goku fused so he could attempt to bring him back to the side of good. There's your explanation. Kudos to Majunior7, I thought I would have everyone fooled, I guess next time I'll have to try harder!

Next Chapter: I think it would be safe to say that there will be a small amount of fighting going on, wouldn't you? What's this? Vegeta decides not to fight? It all comes to a head in the next chapter titled "Self-Righteous Suicide"! See you later!
