The Gallio Saga

Chapter 40

As soon as lunch was over, Piccolo and the others went out to search for Gohan.

"Where could he be, his energy has dropped so much it's hard to sense him!" Piccolo exclaimed.

"He did use up a lot of his power in that battle," Washu said.

"I know, but did he have to use up so much at once!"

"Maybe he just wanted to make sure that Cell was dead," Washu figured.

"Probably."

"Spot him Ryoko?" Tenchi asked Ryoko in the air.

"Not a trace Tenchi, they were fighting pretty far from the house."

"He has to be somewhere."

"I know, don't find him soon who knows what could happen."

"You think he went back to the house?"

"I really doubt it Tenchi. If Piccolo can barely sense his energy, then there is no way he could make it to the house even if he wanted to."

"Just a thought."

"Asaka, Komadakie have you found him yet?" Ayeka asked.

"No princess. Our circuits cannot pick up the boy's signal," Asaka reported.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." Ayeka sighed and looked behind her at her sister.

"Gohan! Where you!" she called. "Gohan!"

"Did you at least find a trace of him?" Ayeka asked.

"No princess," Komadakie said. Ryo-oki was sniffing around. While she was sniffing, she stepped on something soft, and damp. She looked down and saw a piece of Gohan's shirt. She grabbed it in her mouth and ran towards Sasami.

"What is it Ryo-oki?" Sasami asked. She took the piece from her mouth and looked at it. "It's a piece of Gohan's shirt! Ryo-oki do you think you can find his sent?" The cabbit nodded and started sniffing again. Then she looked up and started running.

"Come on Ayeka I think Ryo-oki has his sent!" Sasami said and ran after Ryo- oki.

"I'm coming."

"Miyoshi did you find anything?" Kiyone asked.

"Nothing here Kiyone!" Miyoshi called back.

"Well that takes out the forest," Kiyone sighed and crossed out forest on her list. "Piccolo, Washu any luck near the lake?" Kiyone asked on her communicator.

"No sign of him," Piccolo said.

"Not even a drop of blood here," Washu added.

"Alright, well he's not near the lake," Kiyone sighed.

"Try the others maybe they've found something, we'll keep looking here," Kiyone said, and signed off.

"Don't Captain I'll solve this bank robbery!" Miyoshi said. Kiyone looked behind a rock and saw Miyoshi playing with her Space Police policemen action figures.

"Miyoshi what are you doing we're on a search and rescue and your playing with stupid toys!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kiyone yelled.

"But Kiyone these are not toys, their collectors items, this one if from 1993, and this one is from 1999," Miyoshi said holding up her figures.

"I don't care if they were the most valuable item on earth you're still goofing off!"

"I'm sorry Kiyone," Miyoshi cried. Kiyone scoffed and contacted Tenchi and Ryoko.

"You guys found him yet?" she asked.

"Nothing he's near the mountains area there wasn't even a trace of him," Ryoko said.

"Alright, well call if you found something," Kiyone said and signed off. Then she called Ayeka.

"You guys have a trail yet?"

"Yes we do. Ryo-oki found Gohan's sent here in the canyons area, and we're following her," Ayeka said.

"That's great! Call the others, Miyoshi and I will meet you there."

Gohan was a mess. He all these cuts, scars, and blood around his body. If he wasn't part Saiyan the lack of blood would of killed him, but still he felt super weak and helpless. Just moving his fingers would shot undesirable pain through his whole body. He was lying near a giant hole in the ground, where he and Cell fried their blasts. He opened his eyes. His vision was blurred, and everything was getting a little dark. He closed his eyes. He could do nothing, but sit there and wait for someone to find him, or just die here. Cell really did a number on him, he would have a lot of scars on his body when he was healed, if he would ever get healed.

'I'm I really going to die here,' he thought. Sasami, Ayeka, Miyoshi and Kiyone were following Ryo-oki as fast as they could. Tenchi and Ryoko joined soon after, and Piccolo and Washu as well.

"She's really moving," Ryoko said.

"Hey Piccolo can you sense Gohan's energy now?" Tenchi asked. Piccolo concentrated. Gohan's energy was so low and faint he could barely pick it up. Plus slowly it was fading away.

'Gohan, how far did you push yourself?'

"Piccolo?"

"We have to hurry! Gohan's energy is slowly fading away!"

"What!" everyone exclaimed.

"What do you mean Piccolo?" Kiyone asked.

"He pushed himself too far. On the last blast he and Cell fired, he put too much energy in it! He went into his life force energy to overpower Cell! And he did it all on a badly injured body. He really pushed himself too far this time!" Piccolo exclaimed.

"Ryo-oki hurry!" Sasami said. After five minutes, they arrived on the former battlefield. There were holes everywhere. Small pools of blood, destroyed cliffs, short trails of blood, red and purple, and Gohan's blood stained shirt. Sasami picked it up.

'Gohan where are you?' she thought.

"Miya, Miya, Miya, Miya!" Ryo-oki called. Everyone looked at her and saw licking something. They got a closer look and saw Gohan!

"My god, look at these wounds," Kiyone gasped.

"You were right Piccolo he did push himself too far," Washu said.

"Gohan, Gohan wake up," Sasami said shaking him. Ryo-oki ran up to him and started licking him. Gohan didn't even stir. "Is he.." Sasami started to say, but Piccolo cut her off.

"No, he's alive, but barely," Piccolo said.

"Don't worry Sasami he'll be alright," Ayeka said putting her hand on her sister's shoulder. Piccolo put the young Saiyan on his shoulder and they walked back to the house. About half way, Gohan's eyes slowly opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry, and it was still a little dark, but he could see Sasami's face a little.

"Sasami," he said weakly, then he closed his eyes again. When they reached the house, Piccolo put Gohan into the chamber.

"How long do you think he have to stay in there?" Piccolo asked.

"Well he did suffer great damage in that battle. First, the machine has to replace the lost blood, which is a lot. Then it has to destroy any germs in Gohan's body no matter how small. After that it has close the cuts, and finally it has to cover it up with skin, so I guess a couple hours or more,: Washu explained.

"Sure is a lot of stuff," Piccolo said, and walked out.

"You coming Sasami?" Washu asked.

"Be there in a minute," she said and looked in the tank. She pressed her forehead on the glass, and made her mark glow. She then appeared in Gohan's mind. There was void there, and Gohan was in the middle of it.

"Gohan!" Sasami called. The half Saiyan turned around. Sasami ran up to him, and slapped him. "How could you do that!" she yelled at him.

"Do what?" Gohan asked rubbing his cheek.

"You didn't have to use so much power at once, you could of saved some! Washu said it was lucky you were still alive, you scared me half to death!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I was just trying to protect you," Gohan said.

"Protect me?"

"Yeah, I thought, 'If I don't take Cell out now, he would take me out, and go after Sasami again.' I needed to use that much so I could make sure he was dead, and didn't get you, but I guess I did overdid it."

"But now look at you, you look like you got run over by thousands of cars at once."

"I know."

"And to top it all off you nearly died!"

"I just didn't want anything to happen to you," Gohan sighed. "If anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live myself, I just couldn't stand the thought of you being taken to Gallio."

"But did you ever stop and think about what would happen if you used up all your energy, Piccolo said you even went into your life-force energy, the energy you live on."

"I guess, your right, didn't think that one through."

"Well, at least you'll be alright."

"Yeah. Hey when I wake up, do you wanna do something?"

"Like what?"

"I don't know head to the beach or something." Sasami smiled.

"I'd like that," she said, and kissed him on the cheek. "See you then," Sasami said, and disappeared. When Sasami walked out of the lab, she saw everyone sitting around watching TV, while discussing what to do next.

"With his men gone, there's no doubt that Gallio will come here," Washu said.

"Washu, do you know anything about this guy?" Kiyone asked. Washu sighed and said,

"Yes actually I do."

"You do!" everyone yelled.

"So, old boyfriend?" Ryoko asked, turning of the TV.

"I guess, I should have told sooner, but he was an old boyfriend, more than that really, he was my fiancé." There was a gasp around the room.

"What happened?" Tenchi asked.

"Well were both young, promising students at the academy. Man was he something back then. We met like 25,000 thousand years ago. He was a great man. He was like a male me."

"A male Washu, now that's really something," Ryoko said.

"What happened to him?" Ayeka asked.

"A few years after he proposed, he went on a expedition to Juri, to find the ultimate power of Juri. As soon, he heard about he become obsessed in finding it. And first time he got, he went on the ship heading to Juri to find it."

"Did he ever?" Kiyone asked.

"He must of, because when he got back he was a power hungry fiend. He went on a rampage around Juri. Killing thousands. It was then I realized that the man I used to love was gone forever," Washu sighed.

"Ayeka did you ever hear anything about this on your planet?" Tenchi asked. Ayeka shook her head.

"This is the first time I am hearing this story. It was never in the records."

"Anything happened after that?" Piccolo asked.

"He wanted more power. It didn't mater that no Jurian knight could stop him. It didn't matter that he was probably the most feared person in the galaxy no, he wanted more. Then he came after me."

"Why did he go after you?" Ryoko asked.

"He somehow found out about my experiments with you Ryoko. Those jewels that are the source of your powers aren't the only ones I made. I made some experimental ones. That thrived on goddess power."

"Hm, that explains a lot, I'm guessing he stole them from you?" Piccolo figured.

"Yeah, and he became more powerful than ever before, even without the goddess energy." Yosho then picked up the tale from there.

"Yes I remember now. The Gallio age, or saga as most people called it, it was the most dangerous, and feared time of the galaxy," Yosho explained.

"What exactly did Gallio do grandpa?" Tenchi asked.

"He around the galaxy destroying planet after planet, destroying any bounty hunter, and galaxy police officer that challenged him. It lasted ten long years."

"What happened the last year?" Piccolo asked.

"I confronted him."

"It figures," Tenchi smiled.

"The battle was not easy at all. Gallio matched my every move, and technique. We fought in his laboratory in his hideout. He had me cornered, I knocked down one of his chemicals, and the sparks from our battle cause the chemical to start a fire. The fire then caused the whole lab, and his hideout to explode."

"How did you escape?" Washu asked.

"The air vent," Yosho smirked.

"What a minute, Gallio Saga? I think I've heard of that in Galaxy Police files," Miyoshi said.

"What are you talking about Miyoshi?" Kiyone asked.

"I lost my file on the Kagato case..." but before Miyoshi could continue Kiyone grabbed her.

"HOW COULD YOU LOSE THE KAGATO FILE WE WORKED ON IT FOR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kiyone bellowed.

"Don't worry Kiyone I found it."

"Good, but I knew I should have knew better than to give you such an important file."

"Hey what's that supposed to mean!"

"Miyoshi just get on with your story," Tenchi said.

"Oh yeah, anyway I was looking all over for it, then I found it in the files room. And while I was looking, I found a file called the Gallio Saga, and started reading it, but I thought it was just a story, so I didn't tell anyone."

"That sounds just like you Mihoshi," Kiyone sighed.

"I've heard of this guy too, but it was a long time ago," Ryoko said.

"Where?" Piccolo asked. "The more we know about this guy the better."

"Well it was when I was a Space Pirate, going around the galaxy. Then I stopped at a bar for some sake. I was drunk, so I can barely remember it."

"That's just like you to be drunk when you find out such important information," Ayeka sighed.

"And what's that's supposed to mean!" Ryoko yelled. Piccolo decided to stop them before a fight a broke out and Ryoko totally forgot what she was saying.

"Ryoko your story remember? Deal with Ayeka later."

"Oh yeah, I'll deal with you later you snotty little princess," Ryoko growled. Ayeka growled back.

"Anyway I was on my 23'rd glass, when these guys came in. They said, 'did you hear about that bounty hunter that was killed? 'No.' 'Well the police reports say that he was going after a guy named Gallio. And used something called the Shadow Wings.'" (I decided to change it because the first one was kinda weak.)

"Shadow Wings?" Ayeka exclaimed. "I've never heard of it."

"It's part of the dark power of Jurian energy. The ultimate Jurian power caused Gallio to gain control of the Dark side of Light Hawk wings," Washu explained.

"Is there more Ryoko?" Tenchi asked.

"Can't remember, passed out right after the last sentence." Tenchi sighed.

"At least we know his main weapon is," Piccolo said.

"Just one more thing Washu, how do you destroy him?" Kiyone asked.

"If I knew don't you think I would of done it all those years ago."

"Yeah, I guess your right." Then all of a sudden Kiyone's communicator went off. "Yes captain?"

"Miyoshi, Kiyone, our radar has picked up an unidentified battle ship coming towards your sector, we have found out it has been orbiting the planet for a while now, we need you two to check it out, do you need back up?"

"No sir, we can handle it," Kiyone replied.

"Alright, good luck," and the captain signed off.

"Then it's official, Gallio is coming to Earth," Yosho announced.

"Mihoshi, Kiyone I better upgrade your pistols. Because in last battles they've proven pretty useless. Asaka, Komadakie, you need an upgrade as well," Washu said.

"Come, Tenchi let us train," Yosho said, and walked outside, Tenchi followed him.

"I'm in need of sparing partner, Ryoko you want to spar?" Piccolo asked.

Ryoko smirked, and said, "Sure why not." Sasami went off to cook. And Ayeka started watching soap operas. Later that day Sasami showed up in Gohan's mind again, to give him a report on what happened today, and she recapped on the information that shared around the table.

"So Gallio was Washu's fiancé, wow that's weird," Gohan said.

"Yeah and he went on a rampage around the galaxy for ten years!"

"Ten years, man that's long. And your saying Tenchi's grandpa stopped him?" Sasami nodded.

"That's what I heard."

"Now I really need to wake up soon," Gohan said.

"Don't rush, you still to make sure your body is fully healed. But at the same time don't be too slow about it."

"Alright," Gohan nodded.

"See you tomorrow," Sasami waved and disappeared. The next day around 12:00 p.m., Piccolo sensed something big. He looked around.

"What's the matter Piccolo?" Tenchi asked.

"He's here!" Piccolo yelled.

"NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!" Tenchi yelled.

"Everyone get ready!" Washu said. She handed Mihoshi and Kiyone their pistols. And Asaka and Komadakie took their place in front of Ayeka, and Sasami was behind Ayeka.

"I remember stay hidden with Washu, you two need to stay safe," she advised. Sasami nodded.

"Did you make any predations for this battle Washu?" Piccolo asked.

"Yeah, I upgraded Mega Washu, she really powerful now."

"Let's take this somewhere far from the house, because if he gets past us, he has a clear shot at Gohan," Piccolo advised. Everyone nodded and when they stepped out of the house ran towards the lake, and mountains. Then he landed. And they got a good look at him, Gallio the most feared person in the universe. He had green hair, blue cold eyes, and fangs. His cape making a deathly swish, and his smirked would just a cold shiver down your spine.

"Hi," he said simply.

AN: Aw man!! The big day is final here. After fighting through his men, and his challenges, the gang has finally made it to the big boss himself Gallio! But is he as powerful as everyone says he is? How will the gang fair against such an opponent? Will Gohan wake up in time to help out in such a challenging fight? You can't miss the next chapter of the Gallio Saga! And thank you all for reviewing. Without you, I probably would have discontinued a long time ago. Anyway, R&R! SEE YA!!!!!!!
