The Gallio Saga
Chapter 79
"Bring it on," Telew said with a smirk as Cell shot towards him. The Arsudu had activated the gravity to 900, not only that but he had on the power limiter Washu had made so he was at half power. To add to list, his opponent, Cell was at the highest difficulty setting. Any normal human would have either died, or given up, but Telew wasn't human and he sure wasn't normal either.
"Get ready to die!!!!!" Cell shouted. Telew winced when he felt the crushing pressure of the gravity; it was so intense he couldn't move. Cell threw a fast punch that knocked Telew hard into a cliff. The Arsudu could barely stand up, but when he finally got to his feet Cell landed a punch in his stomach. Blood shot out of Telew mouth as he gasped, the red haired fighter spun to the ground when Cell kicked him across his face.
"Maybe you should give up," Aitca suggested.
"No, I refuse to yield to this," Telew replied as he slowly got to his feet. He was suddenly knocked into a tree back first with a knee. Cell laughed as he watched Telew get up.
"Give up you poor excuse for a fighter. I am beating you into the ground, and I haven't even broken a sweat yet."
"Shut up you asshole," Telew spat slowly. Cell frowned and punched Telew across his face. The assault continued with rapid attacks to his stomach, when Telew a in a daze the bio-android knocked him into the air with a strong uppercut. While he was airborne Cell flew above him and cupped his hands together.
"Ka me ha me HA!!!!!" he chanted. Telew was blown into the ground. When the smoke cleared blood was flowing down the side of his head, and forehead. His left arm was broken, and his gi top was gone reveling countless cuts.
"Telew, Telew!!!!!" Aitca yelled. "Oh no!! I can't stop the simulation without his word! Telew wake up wake up!!!"
"Time to finish this!!!" Cell laughed. He started to charge up Frieza's signature Death Ball, the ground cracked, and the false wind howled loudly. "Say goodbye Telew!!!!!"
Washu was studying Gohan's blood for the fifth time that day; she still didn't understand how was Gohan part god? Saiyan, human, and Juraian she could understand, but part god? She looked through the mega scope again, (Invented by her) but still no answers. She was about to take a break when she heard Aitca call her on her computer.
"Ms. Washu, Ms. Washu!!!" she yelled worriedly.
"What is it Aitca?" Washu asked as she looked through the scope again.
"Oh god, it's Telew!!" Aitca cried, and explained everything to the scientist.
"What!!! That moron!!!!" Washu yelled when Aitca was finished explaining. "Those opponents are set on kill! I never expected Telew to pull this stunt!"
"You have to come down here fast to override the simulation!"
"I'm on it!"
"Telew wake up, wake up!!!!" Aitca tried again, but still nothing, Telew was out cold.
"Say goodbye Telew!!!!" Cell laughed, and threw the Death Ball. Suddenly something started to happen, Telew started pulsing. He slowly made a fist in the ground as he slowly got up.
"Telew?" The power limiter on his wrist suddenly broke off, and his eyes turned fully red, his half claws, half nails grew into their demonic ten inch killing claws. Telew smirked and rushed towards the death ball without fear.
"Oh so you learned a trick eh? Well that won't save you!" Cell said, as he watched Telew run towards the Death Ball. The bio-android was frozen in fear when he saw Telew jump over the Death Ball with ease. His dark red eyes were fixed on Cell's shocked expression. He smirked as he brought down his claws. Cell put up his guard, but that wasn't enough, Telew sliced him clean in half. The two pieces slowly fell from the sky and blood flowed into the river. Cell couldn't regenerate because the main nucleus in him was too damaged. The sliver haired Arsudu licked the blood from his fingers as he chuckled demonically. The simulation slowly ended, but Telew was far from back to normal. The door opened, and Washu ran in. She gasped when she saw Telew's red eyes look at her.
"What the hell?" Washu said in awe. She looked on the ground and saw the power limiter broken off. The scientist stepped back as Telew made his way towards her.
Gohan sighed as he flipped through the TV channels, there was nothing to do. He had finished the Manga he was reading. As it turned out the red haired swordsman beat the chicken headed man by cutting his large weapon in half. He had just finished another volume, and he had started a new one about this very short high school boy with wild hair who solved this weird puzzle that looked like a pyramid. As a result he transformed into this dark spirit who challenged a bully to a dark game. It ended with the dark spirit cursing the bully into thinking everything he saw was money. He didn't feel like reading anymore. That wasn't the only thing on his mind though. He had remembered something Washu told him just yesterday.
(Originally I wanted to put this in last chapter, but I forgot, so I put it in this chapter.)
Gohan walked down into her lab when she called him. Her eyes seemed fixed on the computer screen. The rapid clicking of her typing was echoing throughout the whole house.
"You wanted to see me?" he asked, getting her attention.
"Yeah I got some bad news kid," she said slowly as she turned around.
"What is it?" Gohan asked nervously. Washu sighed; it was so hard to say after all they've been though together.
"Kid, you and Piccolo's time here is almost up."
"What?" Washu sighed as she looked into his eyes. His face had the look of shock and confusion, she could see him trembling, and his gasps echoed through the lab. Washu sighed again, and continued.
"I was watching your fight with Gallio, and saw how you finished him. It was great and all, in fact that was best I've seen. A couple of days ago I studied where your last attack killed him, you know to make sure he won't come back. As I studied it, the computer matched yours and Gallio's power with the portal that brought you here."
"What are you talking about Washu?" Gohan asked.
"When you attacked with your ball, it matched the power Gallio used to open that portal to bring you here. Don't you understand, you've opened another portal! It might take you and Piccolo home!" Gohan's shocked expression was replaced with happiness.
"Really!"
"Yes, but it's not at full power yet. You have to wait two more days."
"I bet it'll be worth it!"
Gohan sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, he didn't think about then, but now he knew. Going back meant leaving the close friends he and Piccolo made here. In a about a year, he's met new friends, fought worse villains than Cell, faced Cell again, made a rival, fallen in love, and defeat probably the most powerful force in the universe. He doubted if he and Piccolo left; there would be no way they would be able to come back, that was hardly ever the case. He looked at Sasami in the kitchen as she cooked, he had gotten so used to this place it was almost as if they were all family.
"I knew it couldn't last forever," he whispered. Today was his last day, and then tomorrow he would probably never see this place again. He was about to fall into despair again, but then he thought of something. He stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Gohan, what's going on?" Sasami asked when she saw the look of sadness on his face.
"Nothing," the boy replied with a smile. "Hey you wanna go somewhere this afternoon?"
"Like where?" she asked.
"I don't care, it's your choice, and we'll do whatever you want all afternoon."
"What are you up to Gohan?"
"Nothing," he swore. "So what do you want to do?" Sasami thought, and then smiled.
"You'll see, I'll go get ready," she said excitedly, and threw off her apron.
'Maybe this'll be more interesting than I thought.'
Washu for the first time in her life was afraid. She looked into the demonic eyes of Telew as he slowly made his way towards her. His claws ready to dig into her skin, and slice off her head.
"Telew I know you're in there, snap outta this you moron!" she shouted. Telew looked as he didn't hear her, and snarled. Washu quickly got out of the way when Telew rushed towards her. His claws easily cut through the steel door with ease, his red eyes looked at the scientist like she was just another enemy.
"Ms. Washu, what should I do?" Aitca asked. Washu thought quickly, and then came up with something.
"Active any simulation you want, that should keep him busy while I come up with another power limiter," she replied. Suddenly they were in a thick forest with a simulated Gohan not too far away. Telew snarled, and roared when he saw it, not realizing it wasn't real. The demonic alien rushed towards the simulated Saiyan ready to kill him in an instant. Meanwhile, Washu managed to duck into a cave Aitca set up for her.
"Nice thinking," Washu complimented.
"Well I was created by you after all," Aitca replied.
'That simulation should keep Telew busy for a while, so I should have enough time to create a stronger power limiter,' Washu thought. The rocks in the cave started to shake, and slowly fall. 'So I guess that fight has started already.'
"Ms. Washu perhaps we should get help?" Aitca suggested, but scientist just smirked, and said,
"What you think I can't handle this myself? Don't worry I got it all covered."
"I hope you're right Ms. Washu."
"Ayeka!" Sasami called. "Gohan and I are going out!" Ayeka simply nodded, while Ryoko protested.
"Hey wait a minute if you're gone, who's going to finish making lunch!?"
"It's simple, just follow the instructions on the box and you'll get it," she said simply as she and Gohan walked off.
"You really think it was a good idea to leave them with lunch like that?" Gohan asked when they reached the woods.
"No, but it'll be fun to see who can actually finish without blowing up the kitchen," Sasami giggled.
"I'm not sure about the kitchen, but I know something will defiantly blow up. So where are we going?"
"You'll see Gohan," Sasami replied, and then she suddenly jumped on his back.
"Uh...what are you doing?" he asked while he was blushing. "I taught you how to fly remember?"
"I know, but this'll be faster and easier for you," Sasami stated.
"How will you being on me be easier for me?" Gohan asked. Sasami shot him a warning look.
"Are you saying I'm heavy Gohan?" Gohan suddenly felt like his dad when his mom gave him that same look.
'Now I know how dad feels,' he thought as he sweatdropped. "No I'm not saying that-"
"Good, now can we please get moving?"
"Yes ma'am," Gohan replied jokingly, and in a flash they were off.
Telew slashed wildly at the simulated Gohan, who dodged with ease, and countered with a swift blow to his stomach. The demonic alien growled, but with a swift kick to his chest, Gohan flew into a tree. Telew rushed towards him ready slice off his head when the simulation countered with a strong blast, knocking him back. Telew snarled, and managed to bite into Gohan's shoulder when he charged forward. The simulation broke free with a fast elbow to his face, and then fired another blast that blew the Arsudu into a cliff.
"I don't know how long that simulation will last Ms. Washu," Aitca said to the scientist.
"Just make sure it keeps him busy for at least twenty more minutes," Washu replied as she worked on the new limiter.
"Ms. Washu, it didn't take you this long to finish it last time," Aitca stated.
"I know, I'm making it strong so that, that moron won't break it again," Washu answered as she hooked two wires together. Suddenly a loud blast echoed through the forest. Washu looked up only to see Telew standing at the entrance of the cave with blood on his claws. She stepped back when she saw him lick off the blood.
"Say your prayers missy," he said darkly.
Gohan sighed as he stretched out on the sand. He and Sasami were at the beach, she said it was time he paid up on that promise he told her before his battle with Gallio. Sasami sat near the water as the cool water brushed against her toes. She sighed as she felt the warm sun beat down on her, and the cool breeze hit her face.
"Isn't this peaceful?" she asked Gohan.
"Yeah it is. It makes all the battles we've fought worthwhile," Gohan agreed. Sasami looked out towards the water, and sighed. She looked towards Gohan and smiled.
"Hey Gohan, don't get too comfortable, this is only stop one," she said. Gohan looked at her with a confused look.
"Huh? Where else is there to go?" he asked.
"There," she exclaimed and pointed to a small store at the corner.
"A karaoke place, are you nuts? I'm not going there!" Gohan said. Sasami pouted, and grabbed him.
"Come on you crybaby."
"Aw man!"
Washu stepped back in fear as Telew towered over her, his claws poised to strike at any moment. She looked around, and saw the power limiter wasn't finished yet.
'Damn it! Of all the times to be slow!' she thought. She decided to try and get through to him. "Telew stop it, this won't do any good." Telew didn't respond his claws twitched as he growled softly, the soft, but hard tap sound his feet made as he approached Washu rang through her ears. A few strands of white hair fell in front his eyes, but the red glow seemed to make the strands blow out of the way. The demonic fighter opened his mouth, his fangs were ready to sink themselves into his shoulder, and tear it apart. In an instant Telew rushed towards Washu, and brought down his claws. The scientist quickly evaded his strike, she saw how easily Telew sliced through the rock, and he was just getting started. Washu sped for the cave entrance, Aitca quickly put up a barrier at the entrance as soon as Washu got out, Telew snarled when he hit it.
"That has to hold him; I set it on my maximum power after all," Aitca said proudly. Suddenly Washu heard a loud crackling sound, when she went to check it out, Telew was gone!
"Where did he go!?" Washu exclaimed, when she turned around all she saw was red.
Sasami literally had to drag Gohan to the karaoke bar. (Didn't Tenchi and Ryoko go there during their little date in Tenchi in Tokyo?) When they got there, Gohan reluctantly got up on stage with her as she picked out a song.
"Hey do you want to go first?" she asked.
"No way! This was your idea so you go first!" Gohan nearly yelled.
"Okay, okay, no need to yell," Sasami replied. She smiled when she saw a song she liked. "Oh, I'm going to sing this song!" Gohan simply raised his hand as he sat down. The music slowly started and Sasami got herself ready.
(Quick AN: Don't own this song or any of the songs I'm going to use. And Sasami's singing Aaliyah's Try Again.)
Sasami took a deep breath when the music fully started she put the microphone close to her mouth, and sang.
What would you do, to get me?
What would you say?
To have your way
Would you give up?
Or try again
If I hesitate to let win.
Or would you be yourself
Or play your role
tell all the boys
Or keep it low.
If I said no,
Would you turn away?
Or play me off
Or would you stay, oh.
Gohan looked at her intently; he never knew Sasami could sing so well, sure he heard her hum in the kitchen, but nothing like this.
If at first you don't succeed,
Dust yourself off, and it try again,
You can dust it off, and try again.
If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again,
Dust off and try again, try again
She smiled a little when she saw Gohan smile at her. She took a quick breath, and continued.
"I'm into you,
You into me,
But I can't let it go,
So easily
Not 'till I see
What this could be
Be eternity,
Or just a week.
You know, our chemistry
Is off the chain
Is perfect now,
Or will it change.
This ain't a yes,
This ain't a no
Just do you thang
We'll see how it goes...ohhhh."
"Wow," was all Gohan managed to say.
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try again
You can it off and try again.
If at first you don't you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try it again.
Dust yourself off and try it again, try again.
You don't wanna throw it all away
Might be shy on the first date
What about the next date Huh huh huh huh
You don't wanna throw it all away
You might be buggin on the first date
what about then next date? Huh, huh, huh, huh.
At first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off try again
You can dust it off and try again
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again, try again.
Sasami sighed as the music faded; she smiled brightly when she saw her score.
"That was awesome Sasami!" Gohan complimented.
"Thanks, hey Gohan," she said slyly. "It's your turn."
Washu suddenly found herself pinned to the wall with Telew staring into her eyes with his dark red eyes. His rough hands were wrapped around her neck, with his sharp claws giving her slight cuts. He suddenly bit into her shoulder, and ripped apart of her shirt off, along with some skin.
(No Telew is not about to rape her. Just kill her.)
"Stop it Telew!" she exclaimed, but once again her plea fell on deaf ears. The demon removed one of his hands and raised his claw ready to cut off her head. Washu shut her eyes and readied herself for the impact, after a while she opened them wanting to see what was taking so long. She gasped when she saw Telew's hand twitching and one his eyes flashing from red to blue constantly. She then noticed that his fangs were slowly going back to normal, but Telew was still in his demonic form. Through his growls, Washu was surprised when he heard him say !" Washu was more or less surprised, it wasn't the fact that he spoke, but it was what he said. She suddenly smirked, she had a feeling he cared more about her than he let on. Washu instead of running approached Telew with absolute no fear in her eyes. The flashing in Telew's eyes became faster and faster.
"No Telew, I can help you," she said calmly. Telew tried to snarl, but the only thing that came out was a small whimper. Washu fearlessly touched his rough cheek, and stroked it softly, like a mother would stroke her baby. "Telew please, calm down, stop this." She could feel Telew start to shake, his claws twitched, and his eyes kept switching back and forth. The demonic alien managed a loud snarl, and his eyes became fully red again. He grabbed Washu by the neck, and held her in the air, but she still had no fear in her eyes. He started to shake again, the flashing in his returned, but was faster than last time. Telew let of Washu and held his head in pain, anger, and confusion. He started to thrash around, slashing at air, growling and snarling like a wild animal. The Arsudu fell to he knees still holding his head, and let out one final, loud snarl. Washu slowly went up to him to get a good look at him; his head was down so his eyes were covered. Her eyes widened when his silk white hair turned back into the red spiky mess he called hair. Washu went to her knees to be on same level as him.
"I thought I told you to run, you're so stupid," Telew said after a while. Washu ignored that, and extended the napkin to one of the cuts on his chin.
"Doesn't that hurt?" she asked. Telew suddenly slapped it away, his bangs coving his eyes.
"Leave me alone," he said coldly. Instead of just walking away like she normally would, she suddenly embraced him.
"Stop it; you don't have to play all tough anymore. You aren't in Gallio's army, you're in a place where people care about you, not where they beat you just for fun," she said softly. Instead of pushing her away like he normally would have, Telew found himself, embracing her back, he felt something he had never felt since he was eight.
Tenchi, who had decided to call the two them up for lunch, saw them hugging in the training chamber. He merely smirked, and decided to walk away, but Ryoko suddenly phased in.
"Oh, I knew it!" She softly exclaimed when she saw them.
"Come on Ryoko, we'd better not bother them," Tenchi said, but Ryoko suddenly got him in a hug from behind.
"Tenchi.... Everyone else is getting matched up, how about the two of us," she said softly.
"Ryoko! Lay off!"
Gohan groaned when Sasami pushed him onto the stage.
"I can't believe you talked me into this," he sighed.
"Hey, you're lucky we're doing this together, if you keep whining you'll do it alone mister." Gohan sighed.
"All right, which one?"
"This one!" she said excitedly.
"Aw man," Gohan groaned again, but before he could back out the music started, and he had to do this.
(Gohan): I can show you the world, shining, shivering, splendid
Tell me princess now when do you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes, taking wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride.
A whole new world
A new fanatic point of view
No one to tell us no, or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming.
(Sasami): A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Gohan Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
(Sasami) Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Gohan Don't you dare close your eyes)
(Sasami): A hundred, thousand things to see
(Gohan Hold your breath it gets better)
(Sasami) I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used be
(Gohan) A whole new world
(Sasami Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Sasami: Every moment, red-letter)
(Both) I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
(Gohan) A whole new world
(Sasami) A whole new world
(Gohan) That's where we'll be
(Sasami) That's where we'll be
(Gohan) A thrilling chase
(Sasami) A wondrous place
(Both) For you and me
"See! Wasn't that fun!" Sasami said when they stepped down. Gohan sat down, with a sigh.
"Yeah, yeah." Sasami suddenly gasped, when she saw a photo booth. She pulled Gohan into it, and took their pictures. The two liked how they both came out. The first one was with Sasami giving Gohan rabbit ears, the next one was with Gohan pulling up her pigtails. The one after that was Sasami pulling on Gohan's cheek, and Gohan trying to get her off. And the last one was with them just sitting and smiling.
"Here, we have two copies, one for you, and one for me," Sasami said cheerfully. Gohan put it in his pocket, and they walked to an ice cream stand. Sasami got a two scoop vanilla ice cream cone with a lot of sprinkles, while Gohan had a five scoop chocolate ice cream. The man just looked at Gohan wondering how in the world he was going to finish off that whole ice cream himself. The two found themselves back on the beach watching as the sun slowly went down. Gohan turned his head towards Sasami when he heard her sniff.
"What's wrong?" he asked her as he saw some tears roll down her eyes. She turned to him and smiled.
"This proved to be the greatest day of my life Gohan, thank you," she whispered as she laid her head on his shoulder. Gohan simply smiled back at her, and stroked her hair.
"You're welcome," he whispered.
AN: Damn! Man that was a long chapter! Well it is the second to last chapter so I guess it makes sense. So that means, the next chapter is the final the chapter of this fic. I started to think this day would never come. Anyway, to all of you loyal readers, I AM SO, SO, SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!!!!!!! It took me a while to get back into writing since High School is killing now, and I barely have time to write. And even if I do it's only one or two pages, so I had to get my butt in gear to finish this one. And one little side note, I've had the karaoke idea for a long time, just didn't know which fic to put it in. Oh, and one more thing, I'm thinking getting muses 'cause this whole thing gets lonely after a while. Who you ask, I'll think of one sooner or later. Well anyway, see you guys in the LAST CHAPTER OF THE GALLIO SAGA!!!!!!!
