A/N: =D, I'm excited about this chapter, and what seems to be a sequel =P. I just realised this may be split into two parts, probably with a cliff hanger. I have the whole last battle roughly played out in my head. So sequel or story?
Telcontar-lover: Sequel you say? Well it probably will, lots of people want a sequel. =D
Gohan girl: Thank you =D.
Trunks' Brat Baby: I like cliff hangers. It gives me the opportunity to laugh at everyone not knowing what's going to happen next, but than I realised they won't have to wait tooo long, because I love writing this story. Don't worry, I was like that too, but by the end I realised I couldn't finish it without having an absurdly long chapter, and make the whole chapter sequence feel irregular. Sequel it is, and I'm glad your honoured, because that flatters me .
See You Auntie: I agree my reasons are a bit flimsy for the procession of super saiyan levels. But both Gohan and Vegeta and Gohan have the state of mind, and intense training, so they could both have reached it (at least in this fic they do). This is a 'bit' of an AU fic as well I might point out. And in the chapter where Gohan spars with Vegeta, the whole Super Saiyan 4 idea is explained. And obviously there is a level to come.
Ryan: I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and it looks as if I AM making a sequel, but I will probably have a 'resting' period between stories.
Evi: I'm glad you agree, as I said before my explanations for the ssj levels were flimsy, but I'm glad you could accept them, and it didn't disrupt the flow of the story for you. By the way, nice name .
Luna's Meow: I most likely will do both . But this is more of a contest of which will be first…
Matt: As I said above, I will most likely do both, but sequel is first =D.
So by the end of this story I want an answer from EVERYONE… SEQUEL or SEPARATE STORY? I want to tell you something though, the sequel will probably much more action packed than this, and even less humour… Now on with the chapter… =D
The Prophet's Legend
Chapter 10
Last Chapter:
"Our last match for today will be a 'Battle Royal' between the three remaining contestants! Will Gohan, Kivram and Nasta please step up!"
The three stepped up onto the ring. Gohan looked nervously at the other two, as they were both staring at him intently.
'It seems as if they can sense my ki… But my ki is a bit stronger than an average human!'
"It's the last battle for today, and for this tournament. The winner will win a pack of the newest capsule corps products, not even out on the market yet!"
"Is Gohan, Kivram, and Nasta ready!?"
They all nodded their heads.
"Well, since they are, I think we should start the match!"
The crowd cheered their approval.
"Ok than, Fight!"
Now:
Nasta and Kivram flew towards Gohan at impossible speed, and Gohan braced himself for their attack. He could sense that they were not normal humans, they were much stronger than him at his current level, and he was pretty sure they didn't want the CC products.
"STOP!"
All three contestants stopped what they were doing, and looked towards the voice in the sky.
"Marvik' spawn, I see you have arrived on earth, but every saiyan has honour, maybe it was bred out of you, there are two of you, and only one Gohan… Maybe you should fight me as well. After all two on one isn't a fair battle."
"Ahh if it isn't the prince of the saiyans. Did they name you after your father, and his father and so on because they were too dull witted to remember their own names? How can you come down here and talk about rightfulness when it was obvious my ancestor was the best to be occupying the throne, see what the Vegeta line did to Planet Vegeta, they got it blown up! My ancestor was an idiot, he didn't realise that saiyans aren't the strongest beings in the universe, only when combined with other warrior races, could any true warrior be formed, that warrior is me!"
"What!? I knew there was something amiss with you two, you seemed too ruthless to be any normal human."
"Ah yes, "Gohan" the descendant of Bardock the second, the one who organised the army to get the Vegeta line back on the throne, still loyal to the line that killed his great, great grandfather. No worries, I will defeat you two pathetic excuses for fighter, so you can feel some of the pain that my family have had to go through, and than I will kill everyone on this planet, and make them understand that it was all the saiyans fault for all the pain they went through."
What scared Gohan and everyone in the audience, that he did not laugh at the end of this sentence, he did not believe it was a trivial matter, he held belief that he was doing right, and having revenge for all the pain his family went through. An enemy who believed that he was doing right was far more dangerous than one who knew hew was doing wrong.
"Shut up fool, you will see how weak saiyans are!"
Gohan rushed towards Nasta and threw a right handed punch at his face, he missed, and quickly turned, and caught Nasta's punch before it hit him. He stumbled back a bit… That punch was far too powerful for anyone to throw casually. He kicked Nasta's gut as hard as he could, and Nasta flew. He prepared a ki blast and shot it at Nasta. A cloud of dust shot up as the blast hit Nasta. Nasta quickly appeared from the shadows his gi a bit torn, and his bandanna gone. Gohan stared at his hair, it was spiky, just like a saiyans. He now understood why they wore them.
Vegeta was punching and kicking Kivram, but he had seemed unfazed.
"Gohan! Get the humans out of here as fast as you can, I will hold them off until than."
Nasta obviously had heard the command, and didn't show any interest, he knew Gohan could never hide from him. Why not let the humans enjoy their last moments?
Gohan flew towards the startled crowd and used a bit of ki, to make his voice travel further.
"Follow me! You need to get out of here as soon as possible, exit the bloody stadium!!!"
The crowd sat in surprise for a moment before rushing out of the stadium, a massive cloud of dust was situated at the stadiums main exit.
=====
As soon as Videl heard what Vegeta had said, she had hid underneath her chair. She didn't want to miss this. And if Gohan was defeated, she was going to die if she was there or not, maybe given an extra few hours. She waited for the stampede of people to exit, and watched Vegeta fight the two aliens.
=====
Gohan was glad he had gotten the instant teleportation booth from Bulma a few days ago. He threw the capsule to the ground, and out came a what looked like a silver fridge with a glass door, and blue neon lights shining from inside. There was a small black keypad on the side of the 'fridge'. He dialled in the destination.
[Chi chi's house.]
"Now one at a time please!"
The crowd looked uneasy, and looked as if they were waiting impatiently, no blame lying on them of course. They all walked into the booth with a smile of relief on their faces. They all got to Chi chi's house within 10 minutes. Gohan feared for what would happen to them on the other end. He cringed at his memory of the legendary frying pan. As soon as they all had gotten in, he re-capsulised it, and rushed back to the battle scene.
=====
Gohan came back and was horrified. The two maniac's were beating Vegeta to a pulp, he hadn't even been able to transform to super saiyan yet, let alone super saiyan 3!
"Vegeta! Let me fight them, than you can power up!!"
Vegeta forced a smile despite the immense pain he was feeling. Gohan arched his back, and powered up as fast as he could. Super saiyan 1 and 2 flashed by within a second. His hair grew in an instant. Than his eyebrows disappeared and his hair grew down to his ankles, and than his hair shortened to mid back, and his eyebrows reappeared. His gi tore in many places to allow the sudden build up of muscle and fur to continue. His tail turned maroon around his waist, and he looked like rabid primate. He rushed towards the fight and kicked and punched Kivram and Nasta consecutively.
"You cannot defeat me now! Especially with Vegeta turning super saiyan 3!"
Nasta snorted.
"Idiot, do you not think that at least some other species had transformations', and them being part of my blood, that I would have a transformation!? Fool, I also have saiyan blood in me, I have many transformations, none of which you could even hope to match!"
"Than why tell me this, if you had no need of transforming, to defeat me? And you call me the idiot?"
Gohan roared, and his fading red aurora flared up again. He threw a punch at Nasta, and a kick at Kivram. Kivram flew back a bit, but Nasta had dodged it. Gohan kept an eye for Vegeta, but for no need, for he was rushing towards the scene, his hair receded even more, his eyebrows gone, and his hair long.
"Vegeta! Take Kivram, you know he is the weaker, and its time to accept that I'm stronger than you! Nasta talked to me something about transformations!"
"Fine brat! But I will kill you later for saying I am weak!"
Gohan bit back his rebuttal, he knew he had never said he was weak, but he decided that it was Vegeta's way of showing kin-ship.
=====
Videl watched in awe, and had long decided that hanging around the stadium chairs wasn't a good idea when she saw a lot of straying ki blasts destroying the stadium. She was now seated near the entrance, she had realised that the ground was probably one of the best places to hang about when everyone was fighting in the air.
Gohan was fighting… Truly fighting for the earth, you could see the selflessness in his eyes, he radiated it. The needle that established itself in her mind before was slowly revealing itself. She felt that aching gut feeling, the tingle through her body the whole time she was watching Gohan, but she hadn't realised it yet, it was something which was just uncomfortable, but part of her.
=====
Nasta was losing, Gohan could feel it, he was weaker than him, slightly, but weaker. He could never defeat Gohan as he was now. He was succumbing to Gohan's punches, and fighting back with less vigour. Gohan would accept that he was losing, but his ki showed another story, and was rising ever so slightly, as if he was storing energy.
Gohan flew back in shock, his eyes wide.
"SHIT! THE BASTARD'S TRANSFORMING!"
A grin was evident on Nasta's face, he uncurled the ball he was in and arched his back, with his limbs extended. The lumps under his skin grew and extended, and curved white spines extended down his back, and smaller ones down his limbs. His grey skin seemed to harden, and become plates, his spiky hair grew and extended, turning from black to white.
"Thiss you ssaiyanss iss my ssecond sstrongesst transsformation, Sstupid ssaiyanss alwayss had a sstupid theoryss, the mixing of sspeciess iss not a thing to be sscorned. It makesss one sstronger, letss you harnesss the powerss of all the sspeciesss. Allsss of thesse ssspecies were destroyedss so none could rival the rightful thronesss of Nassta, descendant of Marvikss!"
"Typical bad guy aren't you? Destroying everyone, and making yourself stronger just so you can rule the universe, well just like any other bad guy, I will kill you."
"You idiotss you thinkss I amss the bad guyss in thiss, I am extracting revenge for ruining my familyss lifestyle! I killss them sspeciess so noness can ruin my familyss ever again… Yousss ruinedss us just because Marvikss gotss on the thronesss! Thatsss wass because he wasss obviously the one meantsss to ruless, he desserved that throness, the Vegetansss couldn't hold suchss power, and your ancesstor Gohansss wass the onesss to throwsss us offsss the thronesss, yoursss, the idiotss itsss wasss obviousss that he wassss meant for the thronesss, that he wass a gooddss king! You ssshalt die!"
With a roar his grey aurora flared, just like Gohan's, and he flew towards Gohan with a punch. Gohan flew back and landed in the ring, a crated formed by his impact with the earth. He thought of something very inappropriate at that moment, how the hell did they end up in the air in the first place. He crawled ot of the partly self made crater, and in the smoke shot a ki blast at Nasta's ki.
Gohan flew up and started kicking and punching Nasta constantly, glad that Nasta had no spikes on his torso. He was losing, he knew it, with this transformation of Nasta, he was barely holding on, and was mostly on defensive. He willed himself to live, to not give up, to continue, for the sake of the earth, and that he could die knowing that he gave it his best.
=====
Videl was frightened, Gohan was losing, anyone could see it. She felt hope was lost. The one she loved was going to die… Love… Yes, she realised, it was love. She than decided of Gohan was giving his best, and she was here, the least she could do is cheer him on!
=====
Gohan prepared what seemed to be an ordinary ki blast.
"Kage Bakuha!"[1]
A black ball of ki shot out of Gohan's palms, and than split, and than those split, and than those split. Leaving 12 blasts flying towards Nasta, Nasta hardened himself for the impact, but he watched as the ki blasts went straight through him. He blinked twice, and laughed.
"You callsss that an attackss!?"
"Just wait a minute Nasta."
Nasta suddenly felt an excruciating pain within him.
"What… the… hells… isss… that?.."
"All I did was burn your insides! The ki gets in your body through pores in your skin, and than burns, like all ki everything it touches."
Nasta suddenly stood up again, as the pain had receded, and he'd managed to heal it.
"Whatss wrong with your facesss boy?"
Nasta laughed.
"I'mss part Namekian, and part sssaiyan fool! I heal quicklyss"
With a cry, Gohan flew forward and punched Nasta in the gut, Nasta doubled over, and while he was low, he sweep kicked Gohan. Gohan was lying on his back in mid air and than Nasta attempted to elbow him. Gohan blocked with his arms, but despite it, flew back. 'I'm weakening damnit!' Gohan looked towards Vegeta, he was holding well, and was defeating Kivram barely. Gohan was worried for Vegeta as well. He suspected that Kivram would have a similar transformation, but was holding out…
Gohan flew back upright, and punched and kicked Nasta as hard as he could, Nasta either dodging or blocking. He mustered as much energy as he could, and threw a punch at Nasta. In mid throw he heard something which scared him endlessly.
"Go Gohan, defeat that shit face!"
"No Videl, don't!!"
"Ssshit face! You idiotic girlsss!"
Nasta summoned a red blast, and shot it at Videl. Gohan looked on in horror. He flew as fast as he could to take the blast, but he knew he was going to be too slow.
=====
Videl saw the red blast fly toward her, she knew she was going to die, but at least she could die knowing she had helped Gohan, if only a slight distraction. Maybe, if she was lucky, her death could fuel Gohan to win.
=====
Gohan saw in slow motion the blast hit Videl. Tears were flying off his face, the one he loved was going to die. He knew it was love now, he accepted the fact. A cloud of dust was raised, but Gohan kept on flying.
=====
She saw herself on a sunny day, near Gohan's house, or what she thought was Gohan's house. They were both laughing, and she was lying against his shoulder, while he was telling her of one of Goten's many antics. She smiled at the sight, and than all went black.
=====
Gohan caught her body, and checked her ki. Tears were running down his face. Her ki was non-existent, he brushed the singed hair from her face, and let his tears fall on her face. She was smiling, for him, he knew it. His sadness quickly turned to anger, and with tears still falling from his eyes, he looked back at Nasta, with a scowl on his face.
"You will pay you bastard!"
Nasta just laughed, and than his eyes widened at Gohan's rising ki.
'What the hell did I do?! I should have known she was the brats future mate!'
Gohan's ki kept on rising. His hair was shortening back to its original size, his tail grew more, and untied itself from around his waist. His canines grew, but his eyes had closed, and his fur receded. His aurora was blood red, and flaring with each pulse of his blood. He opened his eyes and looked towards Nasta, his completely black eyes staring angrily at Nasta.
Nasta looked back at him, hiding his fear, he looked straight in his eyes, and tried to distinguish Gohan's pupils from his 'whites'[2] as it was all black, all completely black.
=====
[1] This roughly translates as 'Shadow Blast' but can someone who actually knows Japanese tell me if I used the wrong words for it. Because there are so many words for shadow, all different, and quite a few for blast as well. So I'm pretty sure what I wrote made no sense, so anyone?
[2] What I mean by this is that his whites would be black, and his pupils are also black, so effectively his whole eyeball is completely black… like Michael's are from Underworld, when he's in the monster form.
A/N: Please don't kill me! This chapter was split into two parts… Umm even though your going to kill me before I can write more, SEQUEL or SEPARATE STORY?… This chapter may seem a bit umm irregular, because i wrote it in 2 sittings.. so sorry
Review?
