Chapter 40: Last Stand of the United
"Well..." A voice said entering the mind of the Chosen. If you're going to put up a fight, I suggest you prepare..." It was Nanakia.
"What can we do besides transform?" Trunks wondered.
"Spirit fuse darling. Get back together with Elsie. Then do the fusion dance and fuse with your friend.
"We can do that?" Trunks and Goten's voices rang out together.
"I think..." Nanakia chuckled. "It's worth a try and if you die I'll just wish you back... By the way turn around." Everyone turned around and Pallas appeared looking around a little stunned.
"I... I'm... Alive?" She asked. Brolli ran over and grabbed her and gingerly hugged her as hard as he thought was safe.
"I... I thought I'd lost you like Kaykora." He choked out trying not to cry as he always had been taught.
"Well I missed you too." Pallas replied with a smile. "I see you got rid of Masikle that's good. HEY! What if you're all dead too! That's why you're all here!!!" She exclaimed sadly.
"No, no, no..." Bardock chuckled. Nanakia wished you back to life with the Dragonballs I bet."
"Dragonballs?" Pallas was confused. Again.
"It doesn't matter... Right now Daricus is draining Archenakia and Arial of their energy then he's coming for us so we need to keep him busy long enough for Vegeta, Kaykora, and Naros to open the door and get the Grand Army..." Brolli said in one breath setting her down and looking at her with fierce determined eyes. "And this time I promise to take care of you better..." He finished with a smile.
"All right well then... Let's fuse..." Pallas responded looking around. Brolli moved aside and Pallas walked over to Gohan.
"Hurry up!" Goku shouted. "He's coming soon the Kingdom is gone..." But he was too late. A massive black wave rushed over the lifeless planet and stuck them from behind. Sharp pains like that of a thousand knives pierced through them as cuts formed everywhere and blood began to flow.
"Blood your precious beautiful blood. The one thing that makes you as you are." A voice rang out cold and shrill. "But that will all be over soon and you shall all find peace in death..." A thumping noise rang out followed by a minor earthquake. Then another louder thump and a stronger quake.
"Aarian, get them out of here..." Bardock said looking at her.
"Five have already been transported by Kaioshin or Kibito off the planet." Aarian said quietly. "This is all I can give you now..." She held up her hands and white ribbons flowed out and healed the Chosen. "Good- bye and good luck..." She said before fading away.
They all spirit fused as the thumping and shaking became ever stronger. The Goten/Carlia United and the Trunks/Elsie United crossed their fingers and said a little prayer before doing the spirit dance. Everyone looked on hopefully as the golden flash dissipated. And luckily for them one perfect being stood there with blood red, ankle length, spikey hair and a pair of downy white wings. It looked over at the Gohan/Pallas United and smiled at their matching appearance.
"There's one thing I would like to know before I die..." The Bardock/zani United pondered. "Who's supposed to spirit fuse with Brolli? Is there a Chosen out there... Well dead now that we're missing?"
"Maybe they don't exist in this time..." The Goku/Dalina United suggested. Everyone else nodded at the random thought considering what was about to happen. But then again making a dark situation light must be something Goku got from his Dad.
A huge and ominous shadow appeared on the horizon behind them a ways off. It stopped just outside of their clear view and spoke; its voice alone shaking the ground. "I could destroy you all easily but what fun would that be? So tell me... Who wants to die first? Oh wait I want this to take some time..." Another dark enrgy wave went out but this time instead of inflicting damage, it separated all the Uniteds instantly pulling the weaker ones out of the stronger ones.
"Casica learned that trick from him too..." Zani said getting to her feet. She looked over at Gotenks who was still fused and had gained the appearance of SSJ4. "I guess the trick doesn't work on all fusions..."
"Guess not..." Gotenks replied cockily.
"Well if this is how the game is going to be played then so be it..." Bardock said transforming. "I get first blood..." He took of into the air.
"DAD WAIT!" Goku called out but it was to late. Bardock got caught in Daricus's black aura and was fried instantly like a moth in a bug zapper. His scorched lifeless body flung back feet in front of Gohan. Gohan's eyes flashed in rage and horror as he tried to surpress the tide growing inside of himself.
"Weed out the weak first I always say..." Daricus laughed as black electric beams shot out towards them. Brolli grabbed Pallas and spun around in an effort to protect her. To his shock the beam went through him without causing any damage only to strike Pallas and kill her almost instantly. She slipped out of his arms and hit the ground soon followed by Zani and Dalina.
"No... No I failed you again... That bastard is going to PAY!!!" He screamed dropping to his knees. There was no controlling the tide for Brolli as it overflowed in one massive scream. Three bright green beams shot out of his back as his already tall frame grew taller. He let out another scream and two of the glowing masses became downy white wings and the third along spiky red hair. Brolli had surpassed them all achieving the same level of power that Gohan and Pallas achieved fused. The same level that Gohan now fought to surpress. With his new found power he took to the sky and blasted through Daricus's energy shield with a little struggle.
Gotenks had a similar look of rage and anger on his face as if he was fighting off the same power. "Let it go boys... You can handle it and you can control it so long as you believe in yourselves. Who knows maybe the three of you like that will destroy him... Or at least soften him up a bit." Goku said with a smile. His words of assurance were all the young Saiyans needed. The waves of emotion and power washed over them and they too ascended once again. They blasted off and joined Brolli but in the dark shadows all that could be seen were huge energy balls and beams blasting against an indifferent body. A cold evil laugh would ring out from time to time but nothing else.
"You know Goku you could help them..." King Kai said entering the mind of his former pupil.
"What do you mean?" Goku replied.
"Did I or did I not teach you a technique to gain a power boost in a pinch? ONE THAT YOU'VE FAILED TO USE ALL THESE FRICKING YEARS!!!" The Kai said annoyed.
"You mean the Kaioken?" Goku questioned.
"YES!!!" King Kai responded even more annoyed.
"Well you never reminded me!" Goku protested.
"Well I'm reminding you now!!! This might be a good time to use it!!! Why did I ever agree to train a Saiyan? What was I thinking?" King Kai grumbled before leaving.
"Good thing I didn't tell him I might not remember how to do it... Then he'd really hurt me next time we see each other..." Goku thought to himself as he walked through doing the technique in his mind. It all flooded back to him and in no time he had transformed to level four and was ready to give it a shot.
"Kaioken!" He called out in the darkness and to his delight he felt a bit of a boost and ed entwined in his aura. "Well that's a good sigh..." He thought happily. "Kaioken times ten!" He called out and to his equal delight he felt an even stronger boost and more red filled his aura. "Kaioken times twenty!" He called out again and to his even great delight his power soared and red over took the gold of his aura. He smirked and took off towards the battle not wanting to push his luck anymore.
The power gained wasn't enough and soon it became apparent that Daricus had grown tired of the game. What was even more obvious was that for all their power and all their attacking they had done nothing to faze him.
"I believe it is time for me to move on with my plans. But first tell me where is the your illustrious king and his beautiful daughter?" Daricus mused grabbing Gotenks and Gohan in one hand and Goku and Brolli in the other.
"They've gone to open the gates and unleash the Grand Army..." Gohan choked out.
"Good let them come..." Daricus smirked on his featureless black face. Suddenly dark electric sparks engulfed them and tremendous pain coursed through them as their energy quickly left them.
"Shit..." Brolli choked out. "Failed Pallas and now he's going to use our energy for evil..."
"Ahhh... Such is life insolent fools. Such is life..." Daricus replied with joy.
"Well..." A voice said entering the mind of the Chosen. If you're going to put up a fight, I suggest you prepare..." It was Nanakia.
"What can we do besides transform?" Trunks wondered.
