Dragonball Z vs Mortal Kombat chapter 1
On a planet near the center of the universe two of the greatest warriors of all time were facing off...
Vegeta was pissed, he had come to settle the score with Kakarot, but he seemed to be able to predict his every move. He looked around him, trying to find something that might offer an advantage. They were in the middle of a wide canyon, with rocks blackened with age, and steep cliffs to either side. Damn, nothing, Vegeta thought, shit, here he comes again. Suddenly Vegeta was knocked into one of the protruding cliff-faces by a very large boot to his face.
"That's enough Vegeta, its time to surrender", Goku said. It wouldn't do any good and Goku knew it. Vegeta's stubborn as an ox and ten times as tough, Goku thought. "GALIK-GUN!", suddenly a large, bright, purple-pink beam shot from under the rubble Vegeta occupied. Goku was ready for this, and yelled "KA-MA-HA-MA-HA!!" as he shot his own silver-white beam to challenge Vegeta's. The two collided mid-air, and the two went back, and forth for a few minutes before they both exploded. Vegeta went even further into the planets crust, but Goku was able to hold his place aloft, above the canyon, looking out to either side, was a barren wasteland. Goku frowned; it was a wasteland the two of them had created. Goku was able to convince Vegeta to come here because, it was the only planet with a suitable atmosphere far enough away from any civilization. There may have possibly been some life left on this planet, but not anymore, and there never will be now, Goku thought. Goku was brought back from his reverie, by Vegeta finally blasting his way out of the mountain of rocks he was under, then he leapt into the air, directly across from Goku.
No, this can't be, Vegeta thought, I am the Prince of all Saiy-jins, I am an elite, I cannot be beaten. "Fine, if I can't beat you no one will!" Vegeta said. "What the hell are you talking about, you must realize, you can't beat me" Goku said, "Besides, the universe needs you, Earth needs you, BULMA NEEDS YOU!!!". Vegeta wasn't listening, he was silently powering up for his newest technique, though it would take his own life it was guaranteed to beat him, he used it for the first time against Buu, but now he had perfected it. "AAAARGGH!! It's the end for you, Kakarot! I'm going to crush you and throw you into the wind, along with this wretched excuse for a planet!!!" Vegeta said. "What!!" Goku said, he can't be serious, not even he is that stupid, Goku thought. "Vegeta! You gotta listen to reason! Your gonna destroy us both!" Goku said. "THEN SO BE IT!!!" Vegeta said.
Gotta think of something quick, Goku thought. Then he got it. Have to stall for time to gather energy though, Goku thought. "Think about your family!" Goku said, still stalling for time. "That's just it Kakarot, my family is dead, all of planet Vegeta was destroyed, but that's not even it" Vegeta said. "I'm tired of fighting Kakarot. It may be hard to believe but it is true. I'm getting old, and I just can't handle the thought of Bulma, Trunks, or Bra ever getting injured, I just can't Kakarot" Vegeta said. "Because, of all the fights we have won, enemies are coming just to challenge us, not because their evil, not because they wish to rule the galaxy, they just wish to beat us, and I'm not going to let my family get hurt because of me, and if that means destroying both of us, then so be it, at least it'll be over." Vegeta said. Come on just a little longer, Goku thought. "Now, prepare to die!" Vegeta said. "AARRGH! ARMAGEDDON!!!". That's it, its time, Goku thought, his plan was to create a gigantic energy shield that would engulf both him and Vegeta, and the Planet itself keeping the brunt of the explosion in the vacuum of space. "Alright" Goku said "AARRGH! ENERGY SHIELD!!!"
"ENOUGH!!!" Rayden yelled out of nowhere, in that way that only he can, so that it seems to echo through everything. He shot a large lightning bolt at Vegeta, stopping his attack and creating a very large explosion that sent him flying into the side of the canyon.
What The Hell!!! Where the Hell did that old man come from, and more importantly, how'd he do that to VEGETA!, all these thoughts and more went through Goku's mind as he saw the old man disappear, and reappear, by Vegeta's growing rubble pile on foot.
"The two of you, are going to compete in a tournament called Mortal Kombat." Rayden said. "Which means I cannot have you killing each other before hand" Rayden continued. "Look, I don't care why you're here, or what you cant have, but your gonna pay for that Old Man!" Vegeta said. He managed to slide out from under the rocks he was covered with, and ran at Rayden but, when he tried to punch him something unexpected happened, the Armageddon technique had taken its toll on him, and when he launched his fist, his arm was caught in mid-flight, and he was flipped completely over, hitting his back hard on the rock underneath. As Vegeta looked up, Rayden's eyes lit up with electricity.
"AARRGH!" Vegeta growled as he got up, holding his back. "Fine, I give up, what is it you want old man?" Vegeta said.
"Your world is but one of many realms, one of them is a forsaken world called Outworld, ruled by an immortal, who has crowned himself Emperor." Rayden said. "Now he seeks a new world to conquer and enslave." Rayden continued. "Wait a minute, if he's so powerful, why doesn't he just invade us?" Goku said. "Yeah, the Saiy-jins would already have conquered this world by now." Vegeta said, through clenched teeth, as he got up. "To enter the realm of Earth, the Emperor's demon sorcerer Shang-Tsung, and his warriors had to win ten straight Mortal-Kombats" Rayden said. "They had won nine, when a young man came, who went by the name of liu Kang, he defeated the sorcerer and ever since being so close to total domination, the Emperor, has dreamed of conquering once again, and so, has set his sights on this world." Rayden said.
"Great, so now, let me get this straight." Vegeta said. "We're supposed to fight in this tournament and defeat this Emperor, and we're safe, sounds easy to me." Vegeta said.
"If only it were so simple" Rayden said. "but, it is now known that one of your greatest enemies, the alien sorceror, Babidi, has escaped from what you call, the Other World, and has joined forces with the Emperor." Rayden said.
"But what would Babidi want from an Out World Emperor?" Goku said. "The Emperor Shao-Kahn has made a deal with Babidi, in return for Babidi using his Majin magics, to strengthen Shao-Kahn's fighters, and win his tournament, he has promised that he will revive Babidi's father" Rayden said.
"Great, if I remember right about what that Majin shit did to me, then we are in trouble." Vegeta said. "Your probly right about that Vegeta" Goku said.
"You and your friends will meet my fighters, at the World Martial Arts tournament on your world, ten years from now" Rayden said. "There, you will compete against one another, to learn each other's strengths and weaknesses..."Rayden said as he disappeared just as suddenly as he came in the first place.
"Well, I guess we better tell the others but, what did he mean by ten years? The World Martial Arts Tournament is next month." Goku said. "Use your head Kakarot, he means the one after this next one." Vegeta said. "Ha, yeah I guess I didn't remember, cause, I rarely enter two in a row." Goku said. "Hey Vegeta, why the sudden change of heart, I mean, not fifteen minutes ago, you were ready to kill me?" Goku said. "Well, the Old Man, convinced me that there is still some evil out there that isn't just trying to challenge us, that the majority will hurt my family whether I'm there or not, besides, I can still beat you in the Tournament, Kakarot." Vegeta said. "Keep dreamin' Vegeta..."
Author's Note: This is my first fan-fiction, so, go easy on me. I would like a review though, but, please, no flaming. Also, because, I wasn't to fond of GT, this is set right after Goku, and Vegeta beat Buu, and right before the tournament where they meet Buu reincarnated. I hope to post regularly, if people like it, Enjoy!
