DragonTek (Part IV: The Justice Saga)

Chapter 54 - Final Wish

"Goku, I'm so sorry for what I did to your grandmother," she said softly, tears in her eyes.

"It is not your fault, Alena," he said, gently touching her forehead. "You were under their control at the time. I do feel grief and anger, but it isn't directed at you."

"Vegita… our mother," she choked, unable to bear the fact that she had done such a horrible deed.

"Let's not talk about that now," her brother replied, his voice shaking. 'It will take me a long time to forgive you for that, Alena. You're the reason why many of our family members are dead.'

"And Kenshin…" she whispered, her voice shaking quite a bit. "There's nothing…"

"Alena," he said, cutting her off. He sat on the floor, refusing to look at her and staring at the twin swords, Akoutari and Kotukari, as they rested in their sheaths before him. Kenshin narrowed his eyes.

"Don't talk to me," he frowned, turning away. Alena, feeling terrible, closed her eyes.

Noal stayed silent while he continued to pilot the Blue Earth towards the Dragonballs.

"Missed me again," Shinjo chuckled, dodging an energy attack. Bezel growled, for he couldn't connect with the Saiya-jin who couldn't turn Super Saiya-jin. When Dende had recently healed the greatly injured Shinjo, his speed and strength had increased a lot. And speed had always been his forte, not power.

Although he couldn't overpower Bezel, he succeeded in dodging the frustrated warrior's attacks.

Aki stayed hidden amongst the trees below but continued to watch the battle taking place above.

They finally reached their destination. Noal lowered the ship next to a steep cliff, noting that they were in the middle of a forest. They all walked out and followed Giru as he zeroed in on the location of the balls, hidden in a tiny cave in the side of the cliff. They brought all seven balls out, hoping for the best.

"Come out, Shenron!" Goku yelled, and the balls began to glow with their soft orange light. Seconds later, the sky turned pitch black, and a thick yellow beam shot out from the balls. Everybody watched in awe, especially Miyuki and Takaya, as they saw the beam shoot up into the sky and tangle with itself. Soon, the light from the beam faded, leaving in its place the enormous green dragon, Shenron.

"You have already made a wish," the dragon growled, surprised at seeing a very familiar looking Goku on the ground. "There is only one more wish remaining. Make your wish now."

"Shenron, restore everything to the way it was before the Radam arrived," Goku yelled out happily. A smile grew on everybody's face, but soon those smiles disappeared quickly.

"I will not allow that wish to be granted," a voice said. Everybody looked up to see the Legendary Son Goku lower himself to the ground. Goku Jr. gaped at him with awe; the two of them looked identical except for the fact that Goku Sr. appeared much stronger.

"The Legendary… Son Goku…" Goku trailed. Vegita, Alena, and Kenshin all gasped.

'So this is the Son Goku my father told me stories about,' Kenshin thought. 'He's my great-great grandfather… how is he alive after so many years?'

"It's been a while, Goku-sama," Goku Jr. bowed his head in respect. Goku Sr. smiled in return.

"What the devil!" Plague yelled upon seeing the sky turn black all of a sudden. 'I remember that… That can only mean… Shenron has been summoned again. My wish!'

"What?" Shinjo asked, noticing the phenomenon as well. "Hey, where the hell are you going?"

Bezel couldn't hear him; he had already departed for the location where he had hidden the balls.

"Goku-sama," Goku Jr. said respectfully, his heart beating hard. "Why did you reject my wish?"

"When you make a positive wish with the Dragonballs," Goku Sr. explained, "negative energy is absorbed into them. That wish you requested would cause a colossal amount of negative energy to enter the Dragonballs. When a certain threshold of this dark energy is reached, the Evil Shenrons appear again."

"Then we'll fight them," Vegita countered, raising his fist.

"No," came the reply. "Given your power level, there is no way you would be able to win. They would be too strong for you. Your great-great-grandfather, Prince Vegita, and I fought our hardest against them, and even we barely defeated them. A wish of that magnitude would risk their coming back, and they would destroy this planet and universe many more times than the Radam ever could."

"Then at least bring our dead family members back," Kenshin pleaded, filling with hope.

"Let me see if it can be done," Goku Sr. replied, waiting for about a minute. "No, that wish won't be granted. They refused to be brought back alive. They thought that it would be a sign of disrespect to the millions of others who have also died in this conflict. They send their love to you all."

"Otosan… Okaasan…" Kenshin whispered, a part of him relieved knowing that they were well.

"Then I have a wish," Alena weakly stepped forward. "Please remove and destroy every single mind parasite implanted in those people trapped in the spore pods all over the world."

"That wish is quite a stretch," Goku Sr. paused, rubbing his chin. He mentally consulted with Shenron for several seconds before responding. "The intention behind that wish is good, which would normally result in a huge amount of negative energy entering the Dragonballs. But you are asking me to also destroy those mind critters, and the act of killing itself is negative. So by doing both, the negative nature of the wish will cancel out its positive intention."

"Which means?" asked Vegita impatiently, not caring much for the involved logic.

"Which means that your wish will be granted," Shenron answered for him, and his eyes glowed red. A rush of victory rushed through everybody, for they had just turned the tide on the Radam with the wish they had made. The only person who didn't feel such enthusiasm was Kenshin.

"That means the people in the pods I had…" the boy started, his heart sinking.

"You didn't know this would happen," Goku Sr. said, using his finger to raise the boy's lowered chin. "You didn't know about the Dragonballs and their power, Kenshin. Put what you did behind you, because you were doing it for the sake of this planet. You fought extremely hard for Earth and its people, and your efforts will not be forgotten, at least not by me."

"Thank you, Goku-sama," Kenshin said, feeling some of the burden removed from his shoulders. Even a small smile appeared across his face as he looked at his progenitor. He then saw Goku Sr.'s kind eyes divert to his left, and the boy, along with the rest of the people there, turned their heads as they saw a spark of light approach. Seconds later, a purple Tekkaman hovered just near them, growling with anger.

"Your wish has been granted," Shenron said, startling Plague. "In fact, all of the parasites that had existed all around the world have been completely destroyed."

"WHAT!" Bezel roared in shock. 'And these Saiya-jin are all alive!"

"You have exhausted all the wishes," Shenron grumbled, disappearing, "Until later..."

"WAIT!" Plague shrieked, but it was too late. The balls floated into the sky and shot off like comets in different directions, heading for their next randomly chosen destinations. Plague gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, for the Saiya-jin warriors before him had made his plan an utter fiasco. He turned and glowered at Goku Sr, who only returned a smirk.

"Kakarotto, you're behind all of this! You let them make a wish!" Bezel hollered.

"Yes, I did," Kakarot chuckled, looking directly at the Tekkaman.

"You didn't let me make a wish!" Plague argued, clenching his fists. "Why did you let them?"

"Tekkaman Plague," Kakarot smirked, squinting at the man. "You complain too much. If you feel so strongly about this, then feel free to strike my person… or do you not have the guts to attack me?"

'I'm not stupid, Goku,' Plague seethed in his mind. 'Attacking you would be instant suicide.'

"I thought so," Kakarot snorted. Turning to the rest of the people there, he continued. "I must go back now, but I know you will be successful. Stand together, and win. Farewell."

"Goku-sama!" Goku Jr. said, smiling as he beamed at the Saiya-jin. "Thank you..."

"You have the strength to be victorious," smiled the legendary warrior as he faded from sight.

'I am such an imbecile; I should never have left the Dragonballs unwatched,' he growled. 'But how could I expect this? I thought Kenshin and Alena were dead and that Goku and Vegita were still trapped on the moon. What happened that messed everything up?'

"You can't win, Bezel," a female voice said, sneering at him. "Not with me against you."

"ALENA!" Bezel roared, angrily turning towards her. "I killed you!"

"You underestimate the strength of the Saiya-jin," she shot back, "Bezel-baka."

"You lousy, traitorous bitch!" he growled, wishing to attack her. He couldn't however, or else they would all gang up on him. "You helped them escape, didn't you? You let those damn Saiya-jin live!"

"The Saiya-jin people will always live on," Kenshin said, drawing forth Akoutari.

"Just wait until ten million of our buggers rain down upon your planet again," Plague chuckled.

"It won't happen," Goku returned. "Because we destroyed all but two of your ten hives."

"Getting rid of the other two will be damn easy," Vegita smirked, smashing his fists together.

"Let's face it, Bezel," Goku started. "Your primary goal was to exterminate the Saiya-jin, but we're all here alive. We'll stand together and rip you apart."

"Your secondary goal was to take over this planet," Takaya continued. "You did succeed in crushing our cities and militaries. You succeeded in slaughtering millions. But Radam's definition of fully conquering a planet is converting its inhabitants into servile Tekkamen and moving on to other planets."

"And with the help of the Dragonballs," Alena interrupted, "Those new Tekkamen that will hatch will retain their humanity. They'll never be under your control. They'll never be the mindless warriors that follow your every command and whim."

"Scimitar, Masamune, and Spear are dead," Goku said sharply. "That only leaves Saber, Shuriken, Omega, and you. Your hives are destroyed, and the people in the plants will never be chained against their will. To top it all, we Saiya-jin are still breathing. Face it, Bezel. You've lost."

"Lost?" Plague began to laugh maniacally, backing away. "YOU THINK I'VE LOST?"

"You've lost miserably," Alena said defiantly.

"I will never lose!" the Tekkaman yelled with insanity breaking through his voice. "Because I have a big surprise for you! A surprise that will send you and the rest of your planet straight to hell!"

With those words, Plague shot up directly into the sky towards space. Goku and Vegita cursed to themselves, for they were in no condition to follow him, especially into oxygen-less space. However, one of them did have the ability to pursue the Radam Emperor. Gripping his emerald Tek-crystal in his right hand, he held it out just in front of his eyes.

"TEK-SETTER!" Takaya yelled as a bluish translucent crystal shell surrounded his form. He shot up into the air like a comet, and a trail of dusty azure followed his path. Yellow lines of jagged electricity surrounding his encasing, and thin red rivers of energy spread themselves throughout his naked body. The armor faded onto his person, and the shell shattered into oblivion. Blade was a whole new Tekkaman now. Although his armor strongly resembled his old one, the power increase he felt was far from trivial.

"He's different," Miyuki whispered, seeing her brother rush after the Radam leader.

"He has my power," Alena smiled thinly. "And he'll use it well."

"All right, let's not sit around and gape," Noal chimed. "Get on the Blue Earth so we can follow!"

All nodded in unison as they rushed back on board. Noal started the thrusters and lifted the craft into the air and towards space, quickly regretting he had suggested the impulsive idea of following Blade.

'This is going to be terrible for her engines,' he thought as he gave pursuit.

"Aki, are you alright?" Shinjo asked after lowering himself down towards her. Her face was pale, for she had been truly frightened for her brother. Except for several bruises and small cuts, she was fine.

"Shinjo!" she hugged him hard, relieved. "I was so scared for you… I thought Bezel would…"

"Everything is alright," he said, softly patting her back. Looking up, he saw the darkness in the sky fade, allowing the harsh light from the sun to return to the valley. He wondered what that had meant.

'That black sky distracted Bezel,' he thought. 'But why?'

'Tekkaman Blood is keeping up with me?' Plague thought, looking behind his shoulder. A lone figure, far beneath him, was headed straight for him, and it possessed the Saiya-jin girl's aura. However, this didn't bother Bezel much, and he simply flew towards the intended location on the Orbital Ring. As he approached, Blade suddenly came up from behind and overtook him, stopping in front of the startled Bezel.

"Tekkaman Blade?" Plague asked, stunned. "I was expecting Blood!"

"You think you can run away so easily?" Blade said, looking at the menacing armored form of his enemy. Bezel only chuckled as he flew over Takaya and landed gently on the surface of an Orbital Ring section. Blade followed him and landed twenty feet away, ready to strike, but both were distracted as the Blue Earth landed nearby. Within seconds, the warriors ran out in their space suits, and surrounded Bezel.

"Most excellent," Plague smiled, noticing their glares. "I succeeded in bringing you here."

"You rat bastard," Kenshin yelled, drawing Akoutari. "Trying to run away like a coward!"

"I didn't come here to escape from you Saiya-jin," Plague chuckled, turning his head towards the moon and pointing in the appropriate direction. "I came here in order to show you that!"

The warriors all turned their heads towards the direction in which Plague was pointing, but they saw nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary. In Vegita's mind, perhaps that was the problem.

"Wait, where are the remaining two bugger hives?" Vegita asked, and Bezel smirked.

'That'll be another surprise,' he muttered in his mind. "Never mind those…"

"What the hell are you talking about, Bezel?" Alena barked. "I don't see anything."

"Of course you won't, since it is cloaked," he snickered. "Admiral Stake, reveal yourself!"

"WHAT!" Kenshin yelled as he gaped at the moon. An enormous destroyer ship slowly appeared as it disabled its cloaking device. They all stood shocked, never having seen a vessel of such colossal proportions – it was a fraction of the size of the moon itself. What it brought with it was another enigma.

"Behold, the flagship of Warlord Omega!" Bezel declared. "Its contents will tear you all dead."

"What the fuck is this?" Vegita demanded, realizing that he was too weak to release a blast that could destroy the craft at once. "What the hell is in this thing?"

"You thought that killing four Tekkamen, including Dagger, was a huge accomplishment. You will now realize how wrong and off you were in your thinking," Bezel gloated. "This ship holds one thousand Tekkamen warriors, all of which will come down and wreak total havoc on your planet. With Saber on my side, we'll kill the lot of you, you accursed Saiya-jin!"

"One thousand!" Blade yelled, staggering backwards. 'How the hell are we going to resist that?'

"With what has happened today, I have decided that merely conquering this planet is not good enough for me," Bezel continued. "With your deaths, I will grow a whole new colony of buggers and convert every single human alive into one of my servants. I will make this beautiful planet the new home planet of the Radam nation, and you'll all die knowing that you weren't able to do a thing about it!"

"You're crazy, Bezel," said Alena gravely. "You're absolutely insane."

"Yes, Alena, I am insane," he replied, his voice veneered with a film of madness. "Your ancestors made me insane. You all make me insane. Even the word 'Saiya-jin' makes me insane… but guess what? I'm going to cure myself of this insanity… Killing the Saiya-jin will cure my insanity… Picking you apart piece by piece will end this madness that has plagued my mind for centuries!"

"You maniac…" Goku whispered.

"What are we going to do?" cried Saki, grabbing onto Vegita's arm.

"Come, my pets! Leech and destroy!" Bezel ordered. Takaya, Miyuki, Saki, Goku, Vegita, Alena, Noal, and Kenshin all watched in horror as hundreds of armored warriors burst out of the vessel like an enormous throng of angry bees. They swarmed around the flagship, looking down at the humans gaping at them from the Orbital Ring. The real battle was only about to begin.

"Now feel the true power of the Radam Empire!" Bezel growled, flashing his eye.

'God help us,' Miyuki whispered in her mind, folding her hands in prayer.

Within seconds, the first hundred of the Radam Tekkamen warriors charged forward.

End of DragonTek Part IV: The Justice Saga

Author Notes: To clarify, Omega had left his flagship on the edge of the solar system and had traveled towards Earth alone on a probe ship. In that probe ship, he had captured the Argos (the craft that Takaya's family had taken to explore space). Thus, Omega's base on the moon is a combination of that probe ship and the Argos. His flagship, which had been waiting all this time near Pluto, has finally made its appearance on Emperor Plague's command.
