Chapter 43: The Purest Power
"I will not lose to the likes of you..." Daricus hissed.
"Don't count on that..." Vegeta smirked as powerful balls of ki formed from his and Vegas hands. "This is where it ends Daricus because I'll be damned if I'm going to let you keep me from a peaceful life raising my family." Vegeta hissed as the balls grew ever larger.
"The fools don't realize that this is just a mere taste of my power. There is so much more waiting to come out and so much more to gain once I rid myself of this nuisance once and for all." Daricus thought smugly as he grinned wildly at the effort to kill him which was ever growing.
"I don't know if it's going to be enough." The United thought as it watch the attacks grow. "Wait a minute... If Daricus taught Casica how to harness energy of attacks against her then what's to say he won't use that technique here?" It's eyes grew wide with fear. "Then we have no way to defeat him really... Casica! Casica!"
"Yes there is a way to counter the absorption attack. You have to throw off his concentration just before the attacks hit and then he won't be able to absorb the power." Casica responded.
"Well then that where I come in..."
"You can only hope now that their attacks are strong enough."
"They will be... They have to be... But now all we can do is wait..." And wait they did, it took a long time for attacks that powerful to build. So seconds turned to minutes that faded away slowly like the summer sun until finally They knew that there could be no more power pumped into the attacks. Some must be held on to in order to control the attacks. So the United waited for that fateful second to go.
"Are you ready Vega?" Vegeta asked tiredly.
"Whenever you are Grandpa."
"Then let's do it!" And so the gigantic bombs left their hands and floated forward slowly at first then faster and faster building momentum as they went. Daricus waited all the while grinning evilly from ear to ear until there was a sudden pain to his side. He looked over and saw the United running the sword threw him and a split second later, two massive ki bombs hit their mark.
Vegeta and Vega slumped to the ground and slowly started shrinking as they had spent all of the energy given to them by the Ancients. They sat weakly and watched the massive explosions far above them. They were so high up that all they could see was the light given off by them and feel the heat radiating. Suddenly a shrinking figure came sailing down towards them and landed a few feet away. It staggered to its feet and stumbled over towards them.
"He's... not... dead... yet..." It forced out before collapsing on the ground.
"He's not dead?!" Vegeta groaned eying the smoke contemptuously. "That it we don't have enough energy to fly let alone launch another attack." He fumed punching the stone floor. "Now what are we going to do?"
---------- ---------- ----------
Goku was vigorously scrubbing black dried bits of blood off his arm when the words registered in his mind. Kaioshin was ranting about the end of the universe. "What I miss?" He asked coming out of the bathroom and pulling a shirt on.
"IT'S OVER WE'LL ALL DOOMED!!!" Kaioshin raved.
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP!!!" Kibito fumed. "There has do be something we can do to give them a strong enough power boost to finish off Daricus." He said thoughtfully. Kaioshin blinked a few times and eyed Kibito strangely. "The attacks they're preparing aren't going to be strong enough..."
"The Dragonballs would only restore their original power wouldn't they? They wouldn't be able to give them a power boost." Nanakia thought aloud.
"No they most likely wouldn't." Kibito replied.
"I wonder..." Goku said thoughtfully. "Hey King Kai is there anyway I could channel the energy that would form the spirit bomb into Vegeta? I mean that would give him a substantial boost wouldn't it?"
"It is possible that you may be able to do that but you're playing with fire Goku. And where would you come up with that kind of energy? You'd have to call on every living being in the universe!" King Kai responded seriously.
"Then that's what I'll do." Goku said with a typical Son grin. "Listen up everyone. I hope you all can hear me. Right now there's an evil god bent on destroying everything beautiful and great. He doesn't believe in anything but himself and his own power. He's already destroyed countless worlds in his pursuit and now it seems he's unstoppable. He's taken all the evil negative energy in the universe and has become to powerful for any being to destroy alone. So I'm begging you give up some of your good and pure energy to help us fight him. Please I promise you, you won't regret it." There was a trickle of a response.
"It' no use, if it doesn't affect them they don't care." Brolli said sadly. "And besides the three centers of the purest energy have been destroyed."
"So let's bring them back and try again." Nanakia beamed holding up a Dragonball.
"Great Dragon of Namek! Kaioshin started in the native tongue. "We wish for you to restore the Solar system which contained the Kingdom of Archenakia and all of the inhabitants of it killed by Daricus!"
"Is that your first wish?"
"Yes."
"So be it." The dragon boomed then fell silent a moment as its ed eyes glowed. "It is done what is your next wish?"
"I wish for the solar system containing New Namek be restored and all its inhabitants killed by Daricus restored!"
"So be it." The dragon boomed again. "It is also done. What is your final wish?"
"I Wish for the solar system containing the planet Earth be restored and all of it's inhabitants as well!"
"Can do." The dragon boomed. "My job is finished, until next time." And with that it disappeared back into the Dragonballs and left.
"Now we resurrect the two strongest planets destroyed by Cell, Frieza, Casica, and Masikle." Nanakia said rolling out the Earth's Dragonballs.
"Right then." Kaioshin nodded and they put the balls together. "Great Dragon please come forth!" The Dragon answered the plea and shot forth from the balls.
"Why have you disturbed me?"
"You would like for you to restore all life on the strongest planet destroyed by the forces of the evil Daricus."
"Very well." It replied and its eyes glowed as it silently granted the wish. "It is done, the planet of Konack and all it's life has been restored. What is your second wish?"
"We wish for all life on the second strongest planet destroyed by Daricus's forces be restored." Kaioshin beamed.
"A simple task." The Dragon replied. "It is done and my task complete." And with that he to disappeared.
---------- ---------- ----------
"HA! HA! HA! SIMPLE FOOLS! You thought you could destroy me?" Daricus boomed although it was obvious he had taken a beating. A black creature appeared from within the settling smoke. It was much smaller as he had expelled a great deal of energy fighting off the attacks. Nonetheless, he was a force vastly stronger than they could now defeat. He walked towards them slowly and ominously as The United got to its feet.
"Get out of here now! Our lives are no consequence now get out of here and heal up!" It shouted taking a fighting stance. Vega and Vegeta looked at it not sure what to do. Part of them didn't want to abandon their loved ones but the other part told them they had to. Before they could make a decision, voices started flowing through the space clear and emotional. As they did, a growing power welled up within Vegeta but he wasn't sure how or why...
---------- ---------- ----------
"Try it now Goku." Nanakia urged.
"All right everyone here's the deal. Your planets have been ravaged and destroyed by the force of an evil god or maybe even this evil god himself. He has amassed all evil energy in the universe and aims to take over everything. He doesn't care about or value life at all. He's only out for revenge. There are still countless other planets that he's destroyed in his pursuit for power and we need your help to destroy him. All I'm asking for is some energy. Please." There was a sizably great response but still not as strong as he would have liked.
"Please listen to him and please help us. This evil guy sent being to our planet with the sole intent to wipe us out. I lost my Mommy to these evil beings and now I have to live my life without her to love and guide me. Do you want that? Do you want this thing coming to your planet and randomly destroying things? Do you want to sit there and watch him kill members of your family and friends knowing you could have stopped him?" Elsie pleaded. And more and more energy started pouring in.
"Elsie?" Goten wondered aloud. "But..."
"She is considered part of the life of Archenakia so she must have been brought back as well." Nanakia beamed.
"I lost my best friend and my love to this monster." Brolli added with tears in his eyes. "I lost a lot of the people I care about to this beast that I may never see again if you don't help us. You don't want to have to go through what we've been through so please just give up a little energy and help us!" A tear rolled down his cheek. Throughout the universe from the iciest orbs to fieriest spheres everything that had life heard their words. Even in the Otherworld, all things heard. And in that moment all beings of goodness and pureness felt a pain in their hearts. Little ones clung to their parents and mothers wept for the thought of losing their children. In that moment there was an out cry of love so deep that it was more than eternal; it was a feeling that could truly be felt everywhere.
---------- ---------- ----------
Daricus held the United by the throat and its life was slowly draining. "We could have been so beautiful together you and I my Queen. But alas you had to play things the hard way."
"The only love you know is the love of power and revenge." The United choked out.
"Kakorrot you clever devil you..." Vegeta thought as his power went beyond what it should have been. "How don't know how you're doing it..."
"What's going on?" Vega questioned weakly.
"We just got our Army Vega... A whole universe's worth..." Vegeta replied smugly.
Daricus let out a scream of pain and dropped the United. He clutched his heart tightly as the air grew heavy and sweet. "What is this?" He choked out. "What is going on?" He pondered dropping to his knees seemingly wounded.
"It is all the good and right working against you." The United responded in equal pain. "It is the love of every being pouring forth as it never has before... That is why you sought to destroy us isn't it? Naros and I? Because your one weakness is the one thing you can't have..."
"SHUT UP!!!" He screamed batting it away with one arm. It flew across the fairway and landed against a pillar. It didn't move as Vegeta transformed to level three and approached Daricus his power still rising only much more sharply.
"For the first time in my life I feel sorry for someone I'm about to destroy." Vegeta said grabbing him by the throat and yanking him up. "I do because I know what it's like to have your heart crushed and all you can think of is a way to dull the pain. Well we both chose the wrong painkiller didn't we? But I got over it, I moved on... If only you could have done the same we wouldn't be here right now would we? So in honor of Kakorrot I make this wish for you. Come back someday as a mortal and live a life as it is meant to be... Full of love."
He tossed Daricus back into a pillar and powered up his signature move. "Thanks Kakorrot for everything... I would never have made it this far without you..." Vegeta thought as the attack grew within him.
"We're all proud of you Vegeta. Now get this done and come back safe." Goku replied happily.
"I'll see what I can do." He replied smugly. "Casica is he weak enough to hit him and he not be able to absorb it?"
"Perhaps but you still shouldn't risk it."
"Well I don't have someone to run interference so I have to do this."
"Oh yes you do..." Vega said stepping up beside him.
"But you'll be killed..." Vegeta replied shocked.
"Probably but you've got more to look forward to if you live. My family will be dead when this is over win or lose..." Vega looked over at the United slumped over by the pillar. "It's been great meeting you Grandpa. I'll be waiting for you too. Bye bye." She hugged his wait gently then prepared to attack Daricus and go down like the warrior she was.
"I'm proud of you Vega. You are everything I could ever ask for in a Granddaughter... Good-bye." And with that the attack left him and sailed of into the mists.
"I will not lose to the likes of you..." Daricus hissed.
"Don't count on that..." Vegeta smirked as powerful balls of ki formed from his and Vegas hands. "This is where it ends Daricus because I'll be damned if I'm going to let you keep me from a peaceful life raising my family." Vegeta hissed as the balls grew ever larger.
"The fools don't realize that this is just a mere taste of my power. There is so much more waiting to come out and so much more to gain once I rid myself of this nuisance once and for all." Daricus thought smugly as he grinned wildly at the effort to kill him which was ever growing.
