Shattered
Violent discharges of nuclear energy rained radioactive fire upon the 2 Sayian's, Pan and Trunks squeaked desperately trying to dodge the blasts. Android 30 laughed maniacally as he blasted the Sayian's mercilessly. "WHOA what's going on down there Trunks? Did we do something to upset your dad?" Pan asked. Trunks shook his head "I don't think my father would go this far, besides these energy blasts aren't his type. It's someone else Pan.
I think those are the androids down there with Goku", Pan gasped at the fearful thought. The young girl had held so much confidence, so much love in her grandpa Goku; surely they didn't kill him……did they? Goku watched helplessly under the black boot of Android 25, feeling his throat crackle under the pressure. The Sayian growled, being forced to watch Trunks and Pan dodge Android 30's attacks. Android 30 laughed wildly.
"First one to hit a Sayian brat gets a thousand bonus points" the mechanical mad man chuckled. Boiling energy surged in Goku's now green glowing eyes, "LEAVE THEM ALONE" he shouted. Android 25 tried to stop Goku's fury, but was suddenly smacked in the face with a burst of spiky, golden, ankle length hair. Goku had quickly transformed into Super Sayian 3, and blasted 25 off of his throat. The mighty warrior set his sights on 30.
Suddenly Android 26 stood behind Android 30, grinning smugly "You'll have to get past me first sparky". Goku smirked "That's fine by me UGH", Android 26 screamed as his mechanical legs were suddenly slammed with Goku's fists. The incredible speed and super Sayian strength of the alien warrior knocked Android 26 for a loop, literally. Android 30 screamed from being tackled down by Goku. The two fighters grappled each other fiercely.
"Wow it looks like those weirdo blasts finally stopped" Trunks said. The young Pan panted tiredly, beads of sweat dripping sounds the sides of her red cheeks. Pan thought to herself "Oh man I don't feel so good (pant), dodging those blasts took a lot out of me. It's weird though, I don't really feel tired and yet my body feel like it's burning up or something". The girl shook her thoughts apart; Pan had to stay focused on the task at hand.
Trunks winced "It looks like Goku is still putting up a fight, and I bet he could use our help". The female Sayian nodded replying "Okay but what about my dad and uncle Goten, where are they?". "Probably on there way here, you know after all there the strongest warriors around Pan, now let's go" Trunks said. The two fighters soared down to aid their fallen comrade, but the Sayians had suddenly smacked down directly into an invisible wall.
"What the hey? Since when does the sky have a dome around it?" Pan asked, "You should always look before you leap……Sayian" a voice said. The familiar sight of a dark blue cloaked midget reared his ugly head once more. Trunks and Pan quickly went on guard, Pan growling hatefully at her familiar foe "Android 23". The psychic cyborg grinned "How sweet you remember, and it seems this time you brought along a friend. How droll".
"You won't be so bored when I rip that toy voice box out of your mouth tin man" Trunks snarled. Android 23 charged his psychic energies, frowning in response "Talk all you want but your not getting anywhere near my master". "Oh yeah and just how do you plan on stopping us little man?" Pan said, Android 23 lifted his hands upwards and flared his psychic powers even higher. Two gigantic sized chunks of jagged stone suddenly flew before 23.
The mental midget had used his psychic powers to lift up chunks of the Earth as weapons, "With……THESE" Android 23 shouted. The robot hurled the boulders at the Sayians. Both Sayians screamed and dashed to dodge the rocks, Android 23 continued to hurl more and more boulders. Trunks grappled his silver sword and sliced it across the psychic stones. SHINK! The massive chunks of solid rock were sliced completely apart.
"They mind goes over matter, but let's just see how strong your mind is when there's a big chunk of razor sharp matter sticking through it HIYA" Trunks shouted. The boy hurled his sword directly at Android 23's head. The purple hair of the miniature man hovered from the psychic energy, he uttered silent words before raising his hands. "HALT" Android 23 shouted, his psychic blasts froze the sword right before his eyes. Trunks blinked.
Android 23 laughed "Is that it? This the best you tailless monkey freaks can do?". The young purple haired Sayian grinned and dashed to the side, Pan was behind him charging 2 energy balls in both her hands. "No……this is HA" Pan screamed. The twin sized energy sized blast exploded like a fire ball onto Android 23, the miniature machine shrieked in pain. The blue hood evaporated as the android dropped to the ground from the force the blast.
A second enemy was launching a sneak attacker to the side of Pan. The young Sayians Trunks looked to the side and spotted the attacker, it was Android 28. "Pan get away NOW" Trunks shouted. The girl blinked as she was violently shoved away, BAM! A green skinned fist plowed into Trunks face, the boy groaned in pain as he slowly descended to the ground. "TRUNKS No" Pan shouted, her enraged tearful eyes turning to Android 28.
The shotty Shakespearian robot chuckled as gas fumes wheezed from his busted engines, dents and scrapes lined the bot's mangled body. "The Ff-f-f-fates must be SHHH kind to m-m-me, I shall BZZT finally get the BEEP chance to exact my r-r-revenge on you child" Android 28 said. Pan frowned "Your gonna get it all right, your gonna get it good for what you did to Trunks". Android 28 and Pan roared as they once again began to battle.
As the young woozy Trunks reached the ground, Goku and Android 30 were still locked in a violent struggle. Sparks of thunder charge all over Goku's burnt out body, his rage fueling his raw energy as he struggled in Android 30's hands. "This madness ends now, if it takes every breathe my body I WILL stop you" Goku growled. Radioactive charges of nuclear energy clashed with the Sayian's energy, Android 30 grappled Goku's hands.
Android 30 shouted "Why must you persist in this selfish suicidal crusade? You're only making things worse your friends and family".
Goku shuddered "Don't you dare feed me that bull shit. You have no right to question my values; you're a cold blooded killer. A monster bent on raping the world's freedom of choice for your own selfish ambitions".
Android 30 laughed "HA, at least I'm content with who I am Goku. I chose this path myself; I don't try and hide what I have become".
Goku raised an eyebrow "What the hell are you talking about?".
Android 30 frowned "Day by day you parade your sinful Sayian self around this globe, laughing and dancing along like your apart of this world. You defend Earth from monsters and aliens, saving the weak and the helpless. But deep down you always have held regrets about what you've done, you've always known it all YOUR fault these people have to suffer".
Goku shook his head "SHUT UP! You don't know the first thing about me, you're just a machine".
Android 30 jabbed back "And you're an alien, what difference does it make? If you hadn't bothered Pilaf, he wouldn't have been desperate enough to unleash him. Radditz came to this planet because of you, and in turn brought Vegeta and Nappa to Earth as well. Frieza came to Earth because of you, so did Cell and Dr. Gero's androids, along with Bebi, and every other "evil" menace. You brought all of these monsters to Earth; it was all your fault Goku.
Dr. Gero's life was completely destroyed thanks to your meddling, his life became nothing but obsession and insanity after you destroyed the Red Ribbon Army. If it wasn't for you he would have lived a happy life. And your friends? HA, they'd be better off without you. Krillin, Master Roshi, your wife, Piccolo, Bulma, they all died because of you. Even if you wish them back to life with the dragon balls, sooner or later you'll kill them again.
Face it Goku, you and I……were one and the same".
"HEY JERK FACE" a young female voice shouted. Android 30 growled and tilted his red devil haired head upwards, away from Goku's speechless and infuriated sweating face. The mad doctor wouldn't have time to enjoy Goku's mental suffering from his words, because a problem had arrived. Android 28 was being held hostage by Pan clutching arms around his head. The very annoyed Android 30 groaned "Good god what the hell is it now?".
Pan smirked "Listen up radish head I got one of your precious android buddies here, and if you know what's good for him you'll let my grandpa go. Otherwise he can kiss his tin can goodbye", Pan tightened her arms around Android 28's crackling head. With all the massive damage 28 had suffered from combat, his metal skull was cracking with incredible ease. "AHHHH thou must help me master, AAHH" Android 28 frantically yelled.
Goku groaned, his head weakly shaking as he watched Android 30 ponder. "No……Pan……you don't know what your doing" Goku wheezed. "Well that's it going to be doc, let my grandpa go or lose your boy toy?" Pan said. Android 30 grinned "Hmmm tempting as that offer is sweet girl, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with door number 3". Pan blinked "Number 3?". "Yes, nuke the both of you into tiny little dust particles" Android 30 said.
"Oh no……Pan" Trunks weakly moaned. The boy tightly clutched his shoulder, wincing as the bone had popped out of place on way down. Android 28's ice blue eyes widened with horror, "Ww-w-w-what no m-m-m-master you can't NO, NO MASTER YOU CAN'T". Android 30 laughed and blasted a massive charge of nuclear energy at Pan and 28. "GRANDPA" pan shrieked before the blast struck her and 28, immediately exploding.
Insidious screams of pain shrieked from Android 28 as the blast completely destroyed his body, mangled mechanical parts melted from the radiation. A seemingly lifeless Pan rapidly began to drop to the ground. Goku watched in horror as his granddaughter fell, sizzling burn makes lines over her clothes. Growls erupt from Goku as he dashed towards Pan immediately. "HA predictable" Android 30 said, knowing full well Goku would rush to Pan.
The maniacal scientist aimed his arm blaster directly at the spot Pan was about to fall, charging up another green nuclear blast. "Oh no he's preparing to blast her again" Goku thought to himself. The Sayian rushed his aching legs, faster and faster, desperately trying to push himself. But with Pan falling at that speed and the power of Android 30's attack, Goku would never make it in time. The Sayian sighed "To save her life……I must do it".
Energy signatures flashed over Android 23's eyes, the midget gasped "Goku's power level is sky rocketing at an amazing rate". Android 26 smirked "Looks like shaggy finally got the message, Super Sayian 4 fricassee here we come". Trunks leapt into the sky to try and warn Goku, a steel chain wrapped around his bare calf. "Hey what the?" Trunks gasped as he looked behind, only to find Android 25 locking a chain around his leg.
"Going DOWN?" 25 laughed, violently yanking Trunks down to the ground with his chain. The Sayian fiercely struggled under Android 25's fists, trying as best he could to break free and warn Goku. "Here goes nothing, this is for you Pan……Super……Sayian……4" Goku shouted. A powerful golden energy glow started to surround and encase Goku's body. Android 30 smirked "Perfect, the mighty Goku and his precious granddaughter together.
It's almost too perfect", Android 30 said as his chest compartment started to clank and whirr it's inner gears. The steel plated chest opened up to reveal a bright green glowing nuclear core, fashioned in the form of a black cannon like shell. A "W" was painted on the side of the blaster, colored with twisted shades of black and red. "Time to die Sayian's, courtesy of my TX-Nagasaki master blaster 9000" Android 30 said. The robot's chest gun fired at Goku.
Android 25, 26, 23, and Trunks watched in awe as the nuclear beam sky rocketed towards an unaware Goku. The mighty Sayian was transforming his body, red fur started to sprout, his black hair stretched even longer, and a red monkey tail started to emerge. Weary mumbled words escaped Pan's lips, feeling consciousness slowly coming back to her. "Grandpa? Is that……oh no AHHHH" Pan screamed, covering her body with her arms.
"PAN, GOKU, NOOOO" Trunks screamed as his Super Sayian energy flared into an incredible burst of golden energy. Android 25 growled as he was blasted off the young Sayian. Valiant and brave, Trunks heroically charged to save his friend and……his love. Goku now in Super Sayian 4 spotted the beam directly behind him. "No……Pan" Goku gasped, the Sayian spread his arms out in the open and stood directly in the beam's path.
The nuclear energy beam immediately started to unleash its plutonium powers upon Goku's body. The Sayian screamed with excruciating agony, Pan watched in horror as her grandfather was bathed in nuclear radiation. Boiling chunks of fur began to melt and burn on Goku's body, pain coursed through Goku's body like a virus. The burning smell of flesh, the suffocating strength of the heat, "Pan….ARGH I WILL LOVE YOU……ALWAYS".
"GRANDPA" Pan screamed, "I'm coming Pan just hang on" Trunks shouted. The nuclear energy glow started to increase, getting brighter, brighter, and larger, tripling the quantity of unstable nuclear energy. "HIT THE DECK" Android 30 shouted. KAAABOOOM! A mountainous explosion of indescribable description erupted like the force of a thousand volcanoes. Massive flames of nuclear energy soared to straight to the sky.
Pan, Trunks, Goku, all vanished in the blinding blink of the nuclear hurricane's eye. The flashing light of a blast so powerful, so unbelievable, it roared with the fury of a billion's god's wraths. Across the city, far, far from this dark and dreary battle, the rest of Earth's fighters were slowly gathering. Gohan and Vegeta had caught up with Goten, discovering him battered and bleeding outside of a video arcade. "Ugh……w-w-who's there?" Goten said.
"It's Gohan, don't worry brother, we got you" Gohan said. Both Vegeta and Gohan carefully lifted Goten upwards, Gohan then turned to ask Vegeta to go find Piccolo for some senzu beans. The Sayian prince started to head off to find the Namek, but suddenly a flashing tinge of pain struck his body. Vegeta collapsed to the ground tightly clutching his chest. "My god……uh I……such power……Goku no……it can't be, it can't" Vegeta stammered.
Goten gasped "Dad……did you say dad's name?", Gohan blinked at his brother response before turning to Vegeta. The prince was on his knees, shaking frantically, fear grappled Vegeta's heart and crushed it like a piece of fruit. Such terror, such powerful terror chilled the man's soul. "You said dad's name? Do you know something we don't Vegeta? Is he with Pan or Trunks?" Gohan asked. Vegeta could only shake and shiver, nothing more.
"Something's wrong……something's very wrong" Vegeta whispered. Desperately seeking answers Gohan shook Vegeta, shouting to him "WHAT, what is it? For god's sake Vegeta talk……TALK". No doubt Vegeta was suffering from shock, shock over the dreadful outcome of the battle Goku had been fighting. Somehow Vegeta he could……sense what Android 30 had done, what that monster had done to Goku, Pan and Trunks.
Vegeta gasped "I heard a voice……a voice that I hadn't heard in a long, long time, and it just suddenly cried out".
Gohan blinked "Who was it? Was it dad, did you hear his voice?".
Vegeta shook his head "No, it wasn't Goku. It sounded similar to him but this……thing that I heard and felt……it wasn't Goku".
Gohan asked again "Well then who was it?".
Vegeta whispered coldly "It was Kakkarott".
