The Past Returns

Part Fifteen

Kaori looked out the window of Master Roshi's house. Seagulls flew over the island, the sea waters were calm, and the sun was out. It would be considered a beautiful, warm day if it wasn't for the fact her husband was out there risking his life. The news stations had shut down from the alien attack when the news crew were blown away, killed or ran for their lives. No one was sure.

Kaori became extremely worried. This was the first time she had to worry about the safety of her husband. When she met Yamcha, he had quit fighting and was using his time enjoying life and making a living playing baseball. He would hit homeruns for the team for a high price and came and went as he pleased.

She never had to worry about him fighting since times were peaceful and she forever thought it would be so. Kaori didn't want Yamcha to fight. She wanted to argue like Videl had over Pan fighting, but she knew that was foolish. Ever since Krillin called, she knew Yamcha would have to fight. She hated the idea of it. There were so many things against Yamcha now. He was older, hadn't fought in years, not as strong as he used to be and the most important thing to her was that he had a family now. He couldn't leave that.

Her heart was filled with pain. What if something happened to Yamcha? What if he died today? What if that smile he gave her and Talia were the last smile she'd ever see from him? What if…

"Don't worry, Mom," Talia said as she approached her mother. "Daddy's going to be all right. He's really strong."

'Not as he used to be,' Kaori thought. She smiled and put an around her daughter. "You're right. Daddy is strong."

"Your daughter's right," Master Roshi said. "I trained him myself. He can handle himself. Besides, Gohan is with him and Videl. They'll be all right."

Master Roshi stared at the jeans Kaori was wearing. It hid her legs but it did bring out their shapes and curves of her hips. 'Hmm, nice and tight. Just right for the squeezing.' He breathe a little heavy making his mustache and beard ruffle. 'Calm down, Roshi. This is an easy attempt. Kaori doesn't know martial arts. All you will get is a slap and you can handle that.'

Master Roshi looked over at Oolong, Puar, Turtle and Marron. They were playing cards. 'Now's my chance.' He took a few steps closer to Kaori. He was close enough to touch her when…

"Hee-ya!" Talia yelled as she sent a karate kick to Master Roshi's face sending him into a wall.

Kaori looked back at Master Roshi confused. "Huh?"

Talia dusted her hands off. "Daddy warned me about you, Master Roshi."

Oolong shook his head as the rest of them watched Master Roshi. "Old man will never change."

"That's for sure," Marron agreed. "He tried to pinch Mom this morning."

Puar floated over to Master Roshi who was recovering from Talia's attack and scolded at him. "How could you think of doing something like that at a time like this?"

"Can't an old man have some fun?!" Master Roshi asked.

"NO!" Everyone answered back.

Gohan controlled his body from spiraling out of control in the hurricane. The wind speed of the hurricane was over one hundred miles. "Videl!" Gohan yelled. There was so much debris flying around that he had to avoid that to see clearly and look for his wife. Plus with the loud howling of the wind, it wasn't feasible Videl heard him.

Gohan flew further down in the hurricane until he was in the center. There, he found Videl with cuts on her body and a large gash on her forehead. The debris spinning around in the hurricane injured her. Gohan grabbed hold to Videl. He dispersed a large amount of ki from his body and used it to destroy the hurricane. Keeping an arm around Videl, he flew in the other hurricane.

"Yamcha!" Gohan yelled in a garbled voice. He found Yamcha and he was unconscious like Videl but seem to have suffered more damage from the debris. From the look of Yamcha's right arm, it was twisted and obviously broken. He had a piece of metal that came from a boat Poseidon damaged in the water above his abdomen and blood was leaking out heavily.

Gohan grabbed Yamcha, diminished the hurricane and flew the two to Papaya Island and landed them on the beach of the island. He checked over his wife first.

"Videl," Gohan called softly. He checked for a pulse and found it. His heart skipped a beat in joy. She was bruised up kind of bad but she was going to be all right.

Gohan went to check Yamcha next. His pulse wasn't as strong as Videl's, and he was bleeding badly. Gohan gently pulled the piece of metal out but that didn't stop the bleeding. Gohan tore off a piece of his shirt and applied pressure to the wound. The bleeding slowly stopped so it wasn't severe anymore. Still, it was bad. If he could get him to Dende then Yamcha would be all right. "Hang on, Yamcha. You have a wife and child. You don't want to leave them. I'll deal with Poseidon."

Gohan glared at Poseidon. "You will pay for this!" He roared in anger as he flew up to Poseidon.

Gohan threw a Super Saiyan punch to Poseidon to which the God of the Waters caught. Gohan was stunned. Although, he hadn't trained in years, he was still one of the strongest around having his power released by the Old Kai several years. He was even stronger now in his Super Saiyan form and to have this being catch it as if it was nothing proved Poseidon will be a tough adversary.

Poseidon elbowed Gohan in the face. Gohan fell back with a cry of pain but Poseidon wouldn't release him. Gohan wiped the blood from his busted nose with his free hand and threw another punch but Poseidon caught that too. He then kneed Gohan hard in the chin and delivered another hard knee blow to Gohan's stomach, causing the Saiyan to spill out more blood. His hits were worst than Cell according to Gohan.

Gohan felt himself being released out of Poseidon's grip. Before he could compose himself, Gohan felt a sharp punch in his side. He screamed in pain but he quickly recovered. Gohan was amazed at Poseidon's strength. "He's fast."

Gohan attacked throwing multiple ki blasts at Poseidon. As it appeared Poseidon was busy with those attacks, Gohan quickly flew behind to attack Poseidon from behind. He delivered a strong kick to his back, hitting his spine. Poseidon yelled in pain and plummeted toward the ocean. Gohan flew to meet up with Poseidon and delivered him a sharp uppercut. Poseidon shot up to the air, blood spilling out of his mouth.

Poseidon caught himself in midair. He rubbed his chin with one hand and the other was rubbing his sore back. That punch hurt badly. He growled angrily that he was attacked that way and Gohan made him bleed. To Poseidon, Gohan was a mortal who could never be as strong as him. "No one attacks me like that and lives!"

Gohan smirked, having angered his powerful opponent. "Come on then!" Gohan challenged.

The two resumed fighting each throwing kicks and punches at each other. Poseidon couldn't create ki blast like Gohan so he had to avoid the strong ones if possible and take the weak ones. Poseidon was able to deliver a powerful punch to Gohan's face. The attack left Gohan's head ringing. Poseidon throttled Gohan and the two plummeted in the ocean water at enormous speed.

When they crashed in the water, Gohan struggled to break out of Poseidon's grasp. He was phenomenally strong. Still, he had to get this man off him or he would drown underwater. Soon, Gohan was able to break free by kicking Poseidon in the chest. Gohan tried to swim up to the surface to get oxygen in his body but Poseidon grabbed hold of Gohan's left leg and slammed his head against a large boulder as if he was trying to crack Gohan's head. Gohan laid motionless and Poseidon released him.

Poseidon used his magic to make his triton appear again. He aimed it at the ocean floor. Beams of light shot out of the three prongs on the floor, creating a minor earthquake and a fissure opened up where Gohan's body laid. He fell into the fissure. Poseidon used the powers of the triton to close up the fissure with Gohan inside.

The fissure started to close but stopped halfway. Poseidon looked on in wonder. It should be closing. Why was it stalling? Poseidon shot more power from his triton to close the fissure but it wouldn't move. In fact, it was widening.

"What is going on?"

Poseidon looked in the fissure and saw Gohan pushing it apart with his hands. He thought he had knocked Gohan out. Poseidon increased the power in his triton but it was nothing compared to Gohan's strength. He pushed the landed apart and swam out of the water at super speed. He shot out of the water breathing heavily.

Maybe feigning knocked out wasn't a good idea Gohan thought. If it wasn't for the strength and abilities Gohan inherited from his father, he would've been a goner now. Gohan could feel Poseidon coming to the surface so Gohan prepared himself. He had to finish this battle fast. Yamcha's life was on the line.

"Ka…me…ha…me…" A giant ball of energy formed in Gohan's hands He kept powering himself up waiting for Poseidon to appear.

Poseidon flew out of the water. "A mere mortal will not defeat me!"

And that was when Gohan struck.

"HA!!!" He yelled firing a powerful Kamehameha Wave.

Poseidon was hit with the wave at full force. His triton was destroyed in the blast. Poseidon tried fighting back by deflecting or pushing the wave off him but it was too much for him and like his triton, he disintegrated in the blast. Gohan sent a blast upward destroying the ship Poseidon came in.

Afterwards, Gohan flew to Yamcha and Videl. His pulse was still weak. Gohan carried Videl in one arm and carefully carried Yamcha in the other. He flew as fast as he could to the Lookout. He hoped Yamcha would hold on.

Piccolo watch on in horror of Pan falling to the ground. There was no way Piccolo could save her with his left arm and leg slowly turning to gold. Even if he tried, his body wouldn't be quick enough to get to her.

Nearly giving up hope for Pan, Piccolo noticed something in the distance. It was someone in an air car and he was speeding towards them. He looked familiar.

"I don't believe it," Piccolo whispered once he realized who it was.

Yajirobe sped to the scene in his car. He was older as well with his mustached and his balding black/gray hair. Yajirobe parked his car just under where Pan would fall. He stood with his arms held out and caught her and placed her in the passenger seat.

"Yajirobe! What are you doing here?!" Piccolo yelled. He was grateful for the save but he wondered why Yajirobe was here. He would be the last person to volunteer in a fight.

"Korin made me!" The man yelled. "He said you would need my help and it's true since I'm the secret weapon in the group!" He said proudly.

Piccolo laughed. Yajirobe was a coward, but he did come through when he participated in a fight.

Midas just stared as he released Piccolo and glared at Yajirobe. "Who's the chubby guy? I better deal with him."

"No! You have to fight me!" Piccolo yelled getting Midas' attention.

Midas laughed at Piccolo. "You? You won't be a bother much longer."

Piccolo smirked. He touched the skin on his left arm that hadn't turned to gold and yelled in pain as he ripped his arm off. He did the same to his leg. Midas looked disgusted and slightly frightened at all the blood leaking from Piccolo's arm and leg.

Yajirobe looked up at the scene. "Disgusting." He stuck a finger up his nose. "And everyone says I'm nasty."

Midas looked in horror as well. He stuttered. "You… what… What kind of green freak are you?"

Piccolo only responded by screaming. Midas' eyes widened in shock as another arm and leg appeared where Piccolo pulled it off. The man with the gift of gold stuttered. "I'm the one who's going to kill you."

Midas hadn't expect the limbs to grow back. He never bothered with learning how to fight since whoever touched him would turn to gold, but from the way Piccolo was looking at him, Midas was scared, not only that he would lose but that he would die.

Piccolo took in the joy of seeing Midas quivering in fear. He laughed evilly as he put his index and middle finger to his forehead. Sparks of gold energy and white electricity surrounded the Namek as he powered up. Midas tried to move but his body froze up in shock and fear. He knew it was over and he was too scared to move.

"Special Beam Cannon!!" Piccolo aimed his fingers at Midas, firing his attack.

It was a direct hit as the cannon pierced through Midas' chest leaving a huge whole. Piccolo decided to finish him off with another of his attacks.

"Masenko HA!!" The powerful blast left Piccolo's hands and completely destroyed Midas' body.

Everyone and everything in the city that was touched by Midas turned from gold to flesh. The people murmured, shook their heads and wondered what was going on.

Pan's body in Yajirobe's car seat turned from solid gold to flesh. As she recovered, she saw Yajirobe. "Yajirobe?" She thought about the last thing she remembered and jumped out of her seat and saw Piccolo in the sky. She flew to him. "Piccolo! What happened?" She saw that he was normal. "Hey, you're back to normal, too!"

"I killed Midas," Piccolo said simply.

"That's not surprising," Pan said knowingly. She saw Midas ship was hovering in the sky. "Can I finish that off then since you defeated the bad guy?"

A small smile curved Piccolo's face. "Go for it, kid."

"Yes!" Pan jumped for joy and flew head on into the ship, tearing through the windows and levels of the ship. She sent small blasts through the ship destroying the rooms. When she left the ship, Pan formed a Kamehameha Wave to destroy the ship. Pan dusted her hands off. "That takes care of that. We did it, Piccolo!"

Yajirobe met the two in the sky with his air car. "Don't you mean I did it? If it weren't for me, Piccolo would've turned gold and you would've been scattered all over the street."

Pan half rolled her eyes, knowing he was right. "Okay, you deserve some of the credit, too, Yajirobe."

Yajirobe grumpily folded his arms. "'Bout time I get respect here."

"Have you ever earned it?" Pan asked humorously.

"Earned it?!" Yajirobe yelled. "Of course I've earned it! I've saved your grandpa when he was kid and I saved the world when your Dad was a kid!"

Pan glanced at Piccolo who was smirking and laughed. "Yeah, sure you did," Pan teased.

"Of course I did! Tell her Piccolo!"

"Saved them and ran when danger appeared you mean," Piccolo joked as he flew off.

Pan laughed at Piccolo's remark and follow him.

"Oh, yeah! See if I help you next time!" Yajirobe yelled back.

Tien awakened to find the world in peril. There were fires and destruction all over the city. Buildings toppled over and laid on each other in a heap of mess. It was like a giant toddler stepping over his toys and not cleaning the mess. All his friends laid dead in the ground, dying from blood loss or missing wounds.

"Chiaotzu!" Tien called out searching through the rubble for his best friend.

The world was very diverse. There were animals that stood on two legs, walked, talked and had jobs like humans and there were animals on four legs living in the forest and couldn't speak. Dinosaurs still walked the planet. When people were around Tien, some looked at him oddly because he had three eyes and everyone else had two. Tien himself wasn't sure why he had a third eye, but it never bothered him. However, he did isolate himself from others and grew angry with the world. He soon found himself under the training of Mercenary Tao and his brother, Crane. The training was brutal with the physical and verbal abuse he received from the two.

Still, it toughened Tien, made him give no mercy to his enemies. It almost turned him into a completely evil person himself. It was also because Tien was taught by Tao and Crane, he met Chiaotzu. Chiaotzu was the first person who wanted to be a friend to him. They quickly became the very best of friends and accepted each other for who they were. Chiaotzu was so small and innocent. He was like a little brother to Tien and promised to look out for him. To Chiaotzu, Tien was the big brother he never had but always wanted. Tien looked out for him, protected him from anyone bad and not let anyone say anything bad or dishonor him with paying for it.

Through his searching, Tien soon found Chiaotzu in a rubble face down in his own blood. Tien turned his best friend over to see his face badly mangled up. Blood was spilling from an eye he lost in battle and his right arm was gone.

"Chiaotzu!!"

Above them was Hypnos laughing at the destruction he created. Tien was angry. Not only did this monster kill his best friend but he destroyed the city and killed all the people. He couldn't let Hypnos continue this.

"No!!!" Tien yelled as he awakened from his nightmare.

Hypnos nearly fell over in shock seeing Tien awakened from the nightmare he created. It never happened before. No one ever had the strength to break out of his nightmares. "That's not right. He should've died from the nightmare, not awakened."

Renewed, Tien flew in the sky keeping a safe distant from Hypnos. If he got too close, Tien knew he would fall under that dream again. "I won't let you hurt my friends or destroy this planet!!"

Hypnos was still stunned Tien broke through his attack that he wasn't ready for what Tien planned for him. Tien put his hands across his face. "Solar Flare!!"

A blinding light filled the sky and Hypnos shielded his eyes from the bright light. For someone used to darkness, this was horrible to him. "I can't…see!"

"Tri-Beam…"

Hypnos heard the words and squinted his eyes since he was still seeing dots from the Solar Flare attack. Tien was above him performing the Tri-Beam attack. "HA!!" Tien screamed.

Hypnos scream was silenced when the bright mass of energy swallow him, completely destroying his body. Tien breathed heavily. The Tri-Beam attacked always took a lot out of him. The vein popping off the top of his bald head was slowly going down.

Tien observed the city below him. Most of it was destroyed but the survivors were emerging. He saw that the people who fallen asleep and survived the nightmares Hypnos gave them were waking up as if it was no big deal.

Tien flew down to check on his best friend who was still sleeping. "Chiaotzu?"

The short emperor opened his eyes. He saw Tien smiling with relief. "Tien!" He yelled and hugged his best friend.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I had the most horrible nightmare, Tien. It almost killed me," the little man spoke in his soft voice.

"I know, Chiaotzu. I almost died too, but it's over now." He looked around at the people who were recovering. "Let's help the rest of the people and join the others on Roshi's island."

18 grunted in pain again as she received another punch from Krillin. She wiped the blood from her lips. She didn't want to fight her husband, but nothing was working and all other options were telling her to fight back. Every time 18 tried talking to Krillin, he would attack her viciously.

Siren laughed at the scene and 18's desperate attempt to get her husband back. "Give up! You can't talk him out of that spell I created. He's under my control now! Krillin stopped stalling and finished her!" the songsters ordered.

Krillin looked at 18 with cold eyes as if he was fighting an enemy. He put a hand in the air and slowly moved it in circles. "Distructo Disc!" A yellow round disc appeared over Krillin's head. He threw it at 18.

18 moved out of the way in time so it wouldn't cut off her head. She almost congratulated herself from getting hit when she saw how Krillin maneuvered his hands. She looked back to see the disc was coming back towards her. 18 ducked again but not fast enough for the disc cut some of her blond strands.

18 could kick herself now. Krillin's distructo disc could never be maneuvered to turn around if it missed its target. She encouraged Krillin to train and control it. Now she wished she had kept her mouth shut.

There was only one way to stop this and that was to knock Krillin out. She didn't want to hurt her husband but there was no other choice.

18 felt the disc coming back at her so she shot out a ki blast from her hands to destroy the disc. She then turned to her husband who was coming in to attack her again.

"I'm sorry, Krillin," 18 flew and punched Krillin so hard in the stomach that the one blow was able to knock him out. He clutched his sides, groan in pain and fell unconscious. 18 caught Krillin and flew him to the land nearby.

Siren looked up in concern for herself. This wasn't right. Krillin wasn't suppose to get hurt. He was suppose to kill 18. Her only power was to use men to do her work. She barely had any fighting skills. 'That's what I get for relying on a stupid, old man.'

Siren decided to fly back to her ship and attacked from there. 18 saw Siren fleeing to her ship; 18 glared at the woman in anger for what she was responsible for. How dare this woman turned her husband against her?

18 flew up to Siren before she had a chance to get in her ship. "Where do you think you're going?"

Siren used what powers she had and tried to punch 18. 18 easily caught her punch and punch Siren in the face hard, breaking her nose.

"That's for putting my husband under your power."

Siren covered her nose feeling the blood leak out. Her bleeding? A beautiful woman like her bleeding? That made Siren angry. "How dare you?"

18 responded by kicking Siren in the stomach and continue punching her repeatedly, giving her two black eyes and mangling her once beautiful face.

"And that was for sending my husband to attack me."

Siren looked at 18 pleadingly. "Let me go. I promise to not come back."

18 looked at Siren pathetically. Without her powers over men, Siren was nothing. She would never return knowing there were strong women here ready to beat her. "Fine! Go! But before you do, free the men from your spell and don't show up here again!"

"All right," Siren said admitting defeat. She began singing a song that passed over every man she infected, freeing them from her spell. "Everyone's back to normal now," she told 18 and flew in her ship. Siren was embarrassed, humiliated. How dare 18 does this to her? "I'm going to make her pay for that."

Siren typed in a few buttons from her control panel. A laser beam warmed up and fired it on 18. 18 saw a huge blast from Siren's ship coming towards her. "Stupid woman!" 18 held her hands and repelled it back to Siren and sent some of her own energy blasts on the ship.

Siren saw the beam and 18 blasts coming back towards her. She fired up the engines of her ship and tried to escape but wasn't quick another when the blasts and beams hit the ship destroying the ship and her.

18 snorted and flew to Krillin. She shook him awake. "Krillin? Are you all right? Say something."

Krillin looked at 18 and she smiled seeing the look in his eyes. It was full of the love he had for her and not the coldness she saw earlier when he was under Siren's power. "Yeah, I am. What happened? The last thing I remember was that women singing to me."

18 smacked Krillin on the back of his head. "What was that for?" He asked confused as he rubbed his head.

"That was for attacking me and falling under that woman's power."

"I did that?" Krillin spoke confused. "But I don't remember."

"I do!" 18 yelled and began flying off.

"Aw, come on, babe. I wouldn't have done that if I were in control of my mind," Krillin tried to explain as he flew beside her.

"It didn't help that she kissed you and you did nothing about it!" 18 argued.

"I wasn't in control!" Krillin argued, trying to reason with his wife.

"So? You still did it. You think I liked seeing that? Men," she groaned. "I bet Goku wouldn't fall under her power. You know how slow he is."

"Now you're comparing me to Goku?!" Krillin rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe he was arguing with his wife over something he wasn't responsible for. "Women. Hmm, I guess it could be worse. You could compare me to Vegeta. That's an insult."

Krillin saw a smile appear on 18's youthful looking face. "Yeah, there's that pretty smile."

18 frowned. "I wasn't smiling."

"Yes, you were," Krillin cooed as he placed an arm around her.

"No, I wasn't."

Krillin moved closer and kissed 18's right cheek. He tilted 18's head in his direction, looking at her softly. "Yes, you were."

Vegeta's eyes wondered for a moment as he faced off with Kira. The ceiling was high and halls were spacious so it left room for a good fight. "I would say ladies first but you're not exactly a lady."

"The same can go for you being a man!" Kira started it off flying to Vegeta. She threw a punch at him but Vegeta blocked it with his arm.

This was the battle for the past minute--Kira throwing punches and Vegeta blocking them. Kira threw one punch at him but Vegeta dodged and Kira ended up punching a hole in the stone wall. Vegeta took this opportunity to grab Kira's arm and throw her body against the wall and kneed her in the stomach.

Kira winced in the pain she felt when Vegeta's knee slammed into her stomach. Kira flew upward to distance herself. She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. 'What's this? Last time we fought, Vegeta could barely get a hit on me. Now he's causing me pain.' She saw he was smirking at her. 'Arrogant bas--' she was cut from her thoughts when Vegeta came at her.

She moved out of the way so she wouldn't get hit. Vegeta was quick behind her and punched Kira square in the face. Kira quickly recovered and with swift speed appeared behind Vegeta and kicked him in the back; her sharp heel pierced his skin. Kira appeared before Vegeta suddenly and kicked him with both her legs into his chest.

Vegeta gritted his teeth in pain at the hits. He was reminded of a hit from Cell in his perfect form and how it made his body staggered. A wad of blood spat out of his mouth and splattered on the floor and part of what was left of Kira's dress. Vegeta fell to his knees and clutched his stomach. The bleeding caused by the shoes was minor but his pride was starting to shake. He would not get beaten by a woman again. Vegeta had come to one startling conclusion, something he would never admit to anyone else. Kira didn't just get lucky with him on Earth. She really was strong and was toying with him.

Kira didn't wait for Vegeta to recover. There was something different about Vegeta this time and wasting time would get her killed. She moved in to kick Vegeta in his face, causing more blood to spill out of his mouth. She threw more punches at him, repeatedly at his stomach.

Vegeta took the attacks and put his fist together and smacked Kira. She was sent flying upward. Vegeta then threw several ki blasts at her, making a direct hit. Kira screamed as the blasts hit her body.

Vegeta wiped the last of his blood out of his mouth disgusted. She was good. Once the smoke cleared, Kira stood in the air with parts of her clothes torn, revealing more leg and parts of her muscled abdomen that she cared to. She was furious at Vegeta for hurting her this way.

She pushed her hair out of her face. "It seems I underestimated you. How did you get so strong?"

"I've always been strong!" Vegeta boasted. "However, I've underestimated you. It seems I will have to raise my power to defeat you."

"Raise your power? You can't get any higher."

"Oh?" Vegeta said smugly. He roared as he raised his power level and changed into a Super Saiyan.

Kira gasped in the new Vegeta. His hair was blonde, eyes teal and he was glowing. "What the…"

"I won't be going too easy on you anymore."

Kira gasped as Vegeta came at her with tremendous speed that she didn't have time to block Vegeta hitting butting her. Kira fell back a few steps. She groaned in pain. Her head was ringing. A large gash was above her right eyebrow. The blood slid down over her eye distorting her vision in seeing red. She wiped it away.

"Why you…" Kira snarled. Her teeth resemble fangs.

Vegeta laughed at Kira's frustration. "Well, it seems you're not as confident as you used to be."

"I'll kill you!!"

"Try it!" Vegeta challenged.

The two landed and Kira ran, charging on Vegeta. She threw a punch but Vegeta grabbed Kira by her wrist. Kira tried to pull away from Vegeta but the Saiyan Prince wouldn't let her. He squeezed her wrist so much that Kira could hear her bones cracking. She screamed in pain as she felt her bones shatter. Vegeta released her and Kira tumbled to the floor.

Vegeta smirked arrogantly. "And I'm just getting started."

Kira's right arm was completely crushed. She was never this hurt before. Though prideful, Kira was a smart woman. She knew when she was beaten physically. She couldn't fight with one arm. There was only one thing that could help her.

Kira smiled at him flirtatiously. "You don't want to hurt me, do you, Vegeta?"

Vegeta left eyebrow rose. What was she trying to pull? "I most definitely do!"

Kira smiled seductively at Vegeta. "Come on. You don't want to do that. We could put our differences aside. I know your history Vegeta. Your wife has been gone for years now. Surely, you've been lonely in that time."

"You just don't quit."

Kira smiled sweetly at Vegeta. "How can I to such a handsome man? You've gotten a dirty hand all your life, Vegeta. Medusa told me a little about your past; from Goku always being better than you to Bulma and what she did to your son and how you have feelings for Goku's wife. I can fill the void. I'm certain it's been a long time for you and I can please any man. I'll even use Medusa spell to make me look like Chi-Chi again. Come on. What do you say?"

Vegeta's scowl never left his face. He put his hand up in front of Kira and fired a large ki blast on her. Kira screamed as she was absorbed by the blast.

Not far away, Kiro felt a pain in his heart. He clutched it. He knew what had happened. "Kira…she's gone."

Kiro began running, searching for the spot Kira was. Being twins, they had a special bond. When one was severely hurt, the other felt it. He couldn't believe it. His sister was gone. Who could've done it? He round the corner and saw Vegeta surrounded by dust and ashes, no doubt the remains of his sister.

"Kira!!" Kiro yelled in horror. "What did you do to my sister?!"

Vegeta raised his hand at the falling dust. "That's what I did to her."

"You're going to pay for killing my sister!!" Kiro roared as he charged on Vegeta.

Vegeta smirked seeing Kiro come at him. "Come and die then!"

Apollo stared at his opponent. Gogeta was unlike any person he met before. He was excited, happy about a fight, a fight he would ultimately lose. "You're a strange one."

"Everyone says that about my Dad and he's very strong so I guess you complimented me," Gogeta smiled cheerfully.

"He must be weak to send you here. I thought I would be fighting him since I took his wife."

"Actually, my Dad wanted to fight you but I convinced him that I can do it. He's stronger than me too, so you wouldn't stand a chance," Gogeta said confidently.

Apollo scoffed. "After I kill you, I'll kill him." He looked over to his sister standing afar. "And then I'll kill you, you traitor."

"I'm not a traitor. You're the horrible person who took a wife and mother from her family!" Iris shouted back.

"Iris, I think you should leave now," Gogeta said as he kept his eyes on Apollo.

"Why? You might need my help." At that Apollo laughed.

"There's no need. I can handle him, but it won't be easy. It'll safer for you if you leave. I don't want you to get hurt," Gogeta explained.

Iris gave in. "All right. I'll go."

Apollo smirked as he got a hunch on what was transpiring between the two. "My sister must be smitten to take orders from you. She's very defiant. I'll definitely make sure to kill you if only to cause more sister pain. In fact, I'll keep her alive so she can suffer for a long time mourning your death."

"I have no problem with you doing that," Gogeta said freely. "IF you beat me, which you won't."

"Don't get kill, Gogeta," Iris warned as she left the room.

"I don't plan to," Gogeta replied.

Gogeta and Apollo stared each other down as they growled lowly, raising their power levels. The room began to shake as pieces of floor tiles broke apart and rose off the floor. An aura of electrical red energy surrounded Apollo while an aura of electrical yellow energy surrounded Gogeta. The two came at each other to fight. They clashed as their arms slammed together.

The next was a furry of punches Apollo and Gogeta threw at each other. Each blocking and dodging the others attack. Apollo got a punch in Gogeta's stomach to which he countered with a punch to Apollo's face. Gogeta tried to kick him from the side to which Apollo put up a knee to block it. He raised his leg to kick Apollo's face but he blocked it with his left arm.

The two seem to be getting no where as they threw punches faster than the eye could see. Finally, the two gripped their hands together. The warriors tried to push the other back but no one was moving. At one moment it seemed Apollo had the upper hand but then in the next second it was Gogeta.

Unable to break free from Apollo's grip since the two was in a lock hold, Gogeta flipped his feet off the floor and kicked Apollo in the face. Blood spat out of Apollo's mouth and forced him to release Gogeta. Apollo quickly recovered and looked around to find that Gogeta was no where in site. He shifted his eyes in one direction and then the other.

'He's hiding himself with his speed.'

There was complete silence in the room. The only thing that could be heard were sounds of birds flying outside over the castle. Apollo concentrated as his eyes continued to move. He felt Gogeta for a moment but then it vanished again until…

Apollo elbowed Gogeta from behind in the face. The Saiyan warrior was sent flying into a thick wall made of concrete. "Got him," Apollo said and turned to see his handiwork only to find Gogeta gone. "Where'd he go?"

"Behind ya!" Gogeta said and kicked Apollo in the face. This time he was sent flying across the room. Apollo caught himself by touching the floor with one hand and landing on his feet. Gogeta was right with him and elbowed Apollo hard in the stomach.

The quick punches and kicks started once more with Gogeta getting more hits in than Apollo. He had no choice but to take to the air. With the ceiling, the room was fifty feet in height. It may get destroyed in the fight to provide more room. That didn't matter now. Apollo was angry. He considered himself to be the most powerful being in the universe and he was bleeding by hits from a kid in his eyes. Apollo wiped the blood from his busted lip.

"You're gonna pay for making me bleed!"

Gogeta only laughed confidently.

Apollo put his hands forward. A red aura surrounded them as Apollo yelled summoning his power.

Confused, Gogeta looked on. "What's he doing?"

Apollo's hands turned into a red ball of energy. It increased to the size of his hands then to the size of wheels and then bigger than his own body.

"This isn't good," Gogeta said seeing all the power aiming for him.

Apollo let loose, firing his power on Gogeta. It was like an explosive bomb aiming for one person. It was too big for Gogeta to avoid.

"Uh-oh! I won't be able to dodge this!" Gogeta said seeing the energy coming towards him.

There was only one thing for him to do. He put his hands back in a familiar technique he learned from Goku. "Kame… hame…" A ball of white energy formed in his hands. It soon grew to the size of the energy blast heading for him. When Apollo's blast was halfway near him, Gogeta fired his attack.

"HA!!!" Gogeta screamed firing the gigantic wave.

The two energies of Gogeta and Apollo met each other in the middle. Gogeta's wave started to push Apollo's back but he screamed louder pushing down the Kamehameha Wave. Both of Gogeta and Apollo's screams echoed throughout the room as they tried to crush the other with their power. The very room began shaking with the blast that was being fired.

Apollo's energy began crushing Gogeta's Kamehameha Wave but the son of Goku and Vegeta wasn't going to lose. He had to prove himself. He yelled even louder, pulling more energy from his body in the wave. The Kamehameha Wave pushed forward, knocking Apollo's blast back and sending it directly towards him.

"No way!" Apollo screamed as his and Gogeta's explosion of energy deflected on him. He tried to protect himself by putting his hands in front face to prevent his head from getting knocked off. There was no way around. He was going to get hit by this attack.

The room was breaking apart by the earth shattering blast. The ceiling cracked and caved in. The walls began to crumble and break apart. Gogeta dived under a pile of debris to protect himself from more falling debris as the power Kamehameha Wave and Apollo's own attack hit him dead on.

To Be Continued

Sadako: Thanks! I love fighting! Cliffhangers? Gotta love them. It gets you coming back doesn't it?

Lady Athena: Well, I wanted Gogeta to do it to prove himself as following Goku's footsteps. I'm trying to keep it in what the message near the end of the series was saying how Goku can't always be the hero. He can't always be the one who everyone looks up to. It's time for someone else to take his place and I chose Gogeta. I swear, I wasn't even thinking about that thing in X-Men. I haven't seen that movie since it came out last year. I better have Goku win out if I want to live a long time. Hee. Hee.

Xephon: Goku didn't used Instant Transmission because I didn't want him to use it. Besides, if he showed up like that, he might startle her. He knows she went under some changes and who knows how she would react seeing him like this. I thought that since the Saiyans are powerful why not have them face some strong opponents. They can't have it easy all the time. It's no fun that way. So I made some of the Greek characters stronger.

SSJ Chika: I updated so I get to live longer. Thanks for the Emmy! I like to thank my computer for saving my stories, fanfiction.net for letting me post when it works, Akira Toriyama for creating this wonderful series and all the readers and supporters of this fic.

GD: X-Men never came to mind when I wrote that scene out. Let's continue with the action and bigger cliffhangers.

Lady Kouga: Later on, he will fight like Vegeta. I'm trying to blend it both in.

Moon Girl: What's gonna happen? Have to wait and see. Will ChiChi ever remember? I have many threats against me so I better do something right.

Saiyan Goth: Oh, I see! It's okay. Thanks! I love fighting too!

Chuquita: I had thought about leaving the chapter with them kissing but I figured you guys would figure it was Kira and question me on why Vegeta didn't figure it out sooner so I changed it. Better watch out on what you say before Apollo comes after you. I already have Goku, ChiChi and Gohan looking over my shoulder with this story. Ooh, the climax. Heh. Heh.

ChiChiko: Why do I keep torturing you with these cliffhangers? Because I can, I'm mean, it's fun and you know you love it.

Gogirl: It wouldn't have been that bad if the Vegeta and ChiChi locked lips. ::clang:: Ow! Who did that?! Oh, hey, Goku. Anyway. Really? I haven't even seen that movie. Maybe I should.
