Chapter 8: Alliance

As the heat of the sun warmed Goku's face his energy began to return to him. He let out a yell and freed himself. The others followed by example and also freed themselves. The gang flew up to the tiger-man things. The tigers looked at them carefully as if they were ready to fight. They raised their axes… but then ran away at the sight of the saiyan's power. The gang landed and rejoiced that their powers had returned.

"It's about time the sun came up. Wait until we run into those dragons again." Pan gloated.

"Let's not waste anytime. We should find the palace before the moon comes out again." Trunks said. The others agreed and they were off. They enjoyed the gift of flight again. They didn't exactly know where they were going. They were just flying in the direction they assumed the palace was in. Fortunately they were going in the right direction. Unfortunately they were heading toward the pack of dragons they had encountered before. Of course they knew none of this as they raced on.

The gang came to a halt when they heard a familiar roar echo in the air. Once they stopped a fireball was hurtling towards Pan's back. She sensed it just in time to move out of the way.

"What was that?" she asked. More roars echoed in the air but this time there were more than one. A moment later the dragons flew into the air. Remember the dragons were about as tall as an average man. This time however there was a red one that had rubies coating the sides of its wings. The group of saiyans assumed that this was their leader. The red one roared and the others attacked. These dragons were very strategic. Three of them shot fireballs while the other seven flew in at amazing speeds. The leader flew higher into the air and fired a jet of flames from above.

Umbra raised his hand in the air and suddenly a protective barrier surrounded the group. Then Vegeta and Goten fired several ki balls at the dragons that were flying towards them. Goku looked up and fired a ki wave that hit the jet of fire causing an explosion. The smoke from the collision concealed the saiyans from view as they scattered around. When the smoke cleared the gang was nowhere to be found. Suddenly the each member of the group appeared behind a dragon but because it was six against eleven five dragons were safe. Vegeta gathered energy in his right hand and dealt a blow to the dragon's neck. The dragon growled in pain as it hurtled to the ground. Umbra had appeared behind the dragon leader and tried to fire a blast at it. The dragon moved out of the way and turned around to fire a fireball at the saiyan. Umbra deflected it away with his hand and burned it a little. With the same hand he karate chopped the bottom of the dragon's long neck.

The dragon responded by clawing at Umbra's chest tearing part of his cloak. Umbra made a ki ball in his hand and threw it at the dragon. The ball hit the dragon in the chest and it fell to the ground. The dragon flew back into the air with its right claw glowing yellow. The dragon roared and swung its claw at Umbra releasing and attack like Inuyasha's Iron Reaper. Umbra disappeared and reappeared behind the dragon. Umbra was now annoyed now and wanted to end the fight so he put it in a headlock. The dragon roared and the other dragons looked at it. They all flew at Umbra but before they reached him he put a ki ball at the dragons heart making the other dragons stop in midair. Umbra motioned the others to leave and they did. When they were a good distance away Umbra released the dragon and fired the ball at its back. The attack didn't kill the dragon, it just damaged it. Umbra took the opportunity and flew away and caught up with the others.

"So does anyone know where that castle is?" asked Goku. The answer to his question came when an incredible power level came from the west.

"What was that?" asked Trunks.

"I don't know but I think we better head that way." Pan said. The others agreed and they were off. The power they were following got higher and higher but all of the sudden it just stopped. The group of saiyans stopped in midair.

"Hey, where did that power go?" asked Vegeta.

"Good question. It just vanished like that." Trunks said confused.

At the next moment high power levels came from every direction. The powers weren't moving closer to the saiyans rather they were just there.

"This is crazy. How do we know which power to follow?" asked Pan.

"We follow the one that is the strongest." Umbra said.

"But there are to many powers to find the most powerful." Goku complained.

"Concentrate on your senses and try to isolate the strongest power from the others." Umbra said as he closed his eyes. The others did the same and in about three seconds they all turned to right and flew in that direction. As they were flying a ball of ice came flying at Umbra. He simply moved out of the way to dodge it. Next lightning bolts from the sky came at zapped each of the saiyans. It didn't do much damage to them but it did stop them. The saiyans searched for the source of the attack but found no one. Suddenly a group of fifty creatures flew into the air. They looked like Smoke, Rain, and Zero except they had white wings (Remember in Goku and Vegeta's dreams I said the winged creatures had red blue and yellow wings… well forget that… I forgot to make it that they all had white wings. Rain, Zero, Smoke, Blade, and Blaine are the only ones with different colored wings). In the center of the group was a creature that had wings but not bird-like wings, it had purple dragon like wings. The gang assumed he was male from his face. He had black hair that went down to just above his shoulders. His eyes were black and his expression was cold. He wore black armor that stopped at his shoulders and did not cover his arms. He wore gloves that let his fingers show. It looked like he was wearing pants but it was covered up by more black on some parts of his legs. The most distinguishing about him was the green star on his forehead.

"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Trunks.

"My name is Dark, general of the 4th unit of Lord Kintaro's army." Dark said.

"Well, it was nice meeting you General Dark and if you don't mind we'll be on our way." Pan said making a joke. She stopped laughing when a fist collided with her stomach. Saliva came pouring out of her mouth as Dark's elbow hit her hard in the head knocking her into Goku.

"Pan are you okay?" Goku asked his granddaughter. Pan opened her eyes and nodded.

"When I get my hands on you I'm going to…" Pan didn't know how to finish her threat.

"Well by all means come and make me pay." Dark said.

"You asked for it." Pan said as she charged towards Dark with the others following close behind her. Since it was six against fifty-one the extra warriors doubled and triple teamed the saiyans. After a quick warm up the gang took it up a notch and went super saiyan. Now one by one the winged creatures were being slaughtered until there were only ten more of those creatures besides Dark.

"Impressive." Dark said as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Goku. Goku tried to punch Dark but he was one step ahead of him. Dark ducked and did an uppercut to Goku's chin. Next he powered up and was surrounded by a blackish purple aura. He turned to Pan who was fighting two warriors and fired a beam of dark energy at her. Upon contact with Pan the beam exploded and Pan was blown to the ground. Dark bent his head forward and dodged Vegeta's powered fist. Dark turned around and put his hand to Vegeta's face and fired and extremely powerful blast of dark energy. Trunks was about to strike Dark but one of his warriors blocked the blow. Dark turned to Umbra who in turn turned to him. Umbra charged at Dark and Dark charged at Umbra. Their fists met sending shockwaves out in all directions. Dark's eyes glowed dark and a dark eye beam fired at Umbra's face. Umbra veered out of the way and fired a blast at Dark's chest. Dark used his dragon wings and blew the blast back at Umbra.

"You'll have to do much better than that to even be close to defeating me." Dark taunted.

"Fine then." Umbra said as he powered up to super saiyan two then three then super mystic. "Satisfied now?"

Umbra disappeared and reappeared behind Dark. He drabbed his hand and threw him to the ground. Umbra's hands glowed with golden energy as he fired a multitude of ki blasts at Dark. By this time the others had defeated the remaining warriors and now they could concentrate on Dark. Each of them powered up to their maximums and prepared to fight. Dark flew into the air slowly trying to come up with a plan to win. Individually he could probably beat them but as a group it would be a much harder task to accomplish. Dark powered up and also prepared. Trunks made the first move by firing a ki ball at Drake. Goku and Vegeta followed the blast and after Dark dodged it Goku and Vegeta both punched him in the stomach. Umbra and Pan appeared above Dark in firing position.

"Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha" Pan cried as she unleashed the blue wave of energy.

"EMERALD SKY BALL" cried Umbra as the emerald ball charged at Dark. Both the attacks hit Dark and caused a huge explosion. When the smoke from the blast cleared Drake was face flat in the dirt. He slowly rose but just fell again. This time each of the gang prepared to fire their attack but right before they fired Dark stood up and the star on his forehead was glowing. Dark made a fist and then it glowed green. Dark then opened his hand and held it up at them. They were about to fire anyway when they saw a green crystal in the palm of his hand. The crystal began to glow and a very familiar glow began to shine. The gang started to feel weak. Trunks was the first to realize what was about to happen and they were about 50 feet above the ground.

"You guys get back to the ground." Trunks said as he made his way to the ground. The others followed and barely made to the ground in time. Dark was now walking towards them with his hand opened showing the crystal.

"What is that?" Goku asked weakly.

"Do you remember how at night you cannot use your powers? That's because of this crystal. The whole moon is made of this crystal. It weakens all saiyans and as longs as it shines on them there powers are useless… so say good bye." Dark said as he opened his free hand and a ball of dark energy appeared in it. "Its been nice knowing you." Dark said as he threw the ball at the gang. The ball was weak but it would have enough power to kill mere people. The gang just closed their eyes and prepared for the end.

"NO IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS." Pan yelled in a rage. Suddenly a dull aura appeared around her and a gust of wind blew the ball back.

"What? Impossible." Dark said astonished.

"Pan, how did you do that?" asked Goku.

"I don't know." She replied.

"I know, because she is part human not all of her powers are gone… and that means…" Trunks hovered into the air and fired a weak ki blast. Goten followed by example and did the same. Unfortunately Umbra, Goku, and Vegeta are full saiyans so they are still powerless.

Goten, Pan, and Trunks all tried to go super saiyan but sadly they could not. To much of there power was taken because of that crystal.

"Hey you guys I have a plan. Destroy the crystal in his hand." Trunks said as he fired a blast at Dark's hand. Pan and Trunks did the same. Dark simply closed his hand to block the blasts.

"NOW" Trunks yelled as he and everyone else powered up to their maximums. Now that Dark had closed his hand the crystal's shine was gone. Dark was about to open his hand but Goku beat him to it. Goku grabbed the hand with the crystal and forced Dark to drop it causing the gang to lose their powers again. Goku responded by crushing the crystal with his foot allowing everyone to be powered again.

Dark backed up and knew he was probably going to die. Dark discarded this thought and flew into the air and powered up. He put both of his hands up and a small dark ki ball formed in the middle of his hands. But soon the ball had grown and was now much larger.

"TAKE THIS. DARK ENERGY BALL" Dark yelled as the enormous ki ball was launched. Dark took this opportunity to retreat. The gang didn't have time to react so the ball hit them and created a massive explosion that shook the whole planet. Each of them fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious. About five minutes after they were knocked out two human like creatures came and took them somewhere.

When the gang awoke they were each in a separate bed.

"Where are we?" asked Pan.

"You're in my home." A man said as he walked in through a door. He looked almost human. He had light blue skin and wore a long sleeved white shirt. He had pants like Goku's and he wore a turban on his head.

"Who are you?" asked Trunks.

"My name is Teo and this is my wife Violet." Teo said as his wife came in. She had light pink skin and had a darker shade of purple hair. She wore a red shirt that said Victory on it and she had blue pants on.

"Hello." She said.

"How did we get here?" asked Goku.

"We found you out in the jungle and we took you back here to our town called Sentry." Teo said.

"People actually live here. No offence but the planet looks like it is in pretty bad shape." Pan commented remembering the destroyed cities they had seen.

"I agree with you. People shouldn't live here… anymore. Before this planet was peaceful and there were many cities and people but now since Lord Motaro and Kintaro have taken control of the planet as their base they have kept us here. Many of our kind have been killed. Sentry is one of the few towns that are still inhabited. The majority of our people live in the jungle or in caves. For a long time we have prayed for things to change here. There is a small resistance but they are to weak to really stop those accursed demons." Violet said sadly. The story moved the gang except Umbra and Vegeta.

"Well you're in luck. We actually came here to stop Motaro and Kintaro from taking over out planet… Earth. We promise to help you out. Right guys?" Pan said. The others nodded in agreement.

"THANK YOU" exclaimed Teo and Violet.

"Its reallyno problem." Goten said.

"We will repay you for trying to help us. You can stay here for shelter and we can give you food to eat. Maybe you can meet with the resistance at make a plan to overthrow those two." Teo said joyfully.

"Just leave everything to us." Goku said proudly.
