"Dragonball AS: Deadly Sin's Saga"
Chapter 30- "Game Over"
By- Tiny
Goku sidestepped as the Sin charged at him in a rage, followed up by a swift kick to the Sin's groin. Pride lurched over in pain as the Saiya-jin warrior smashed another blow to his stomach, sending him careening into another mountain top. The jagged rocks collapsed around the Sin's body, tearing the flesh in several places as the might Saiya-jin warrior laughed above him.
"And here I thought you might be a challenge to even my strength!" Goku laughed loudly, "You destroy countless lives, including my friends, and boast that you are the strongest in the universe? How pitiful..."
"No Saiya-jin can be this powerful, not one!" Pride growled, rising to his feet, "How is it that you came to have it?"
"I eat all my vegetables at meal times and exercise daily," Goku chuckled, "Clearly your a meat man...err, thing."
"You DARE to mock me!?!" Pride roared again, "I guess I'll just have to beat the answers out of you!"
Charging at the Saiya-jin warrior rapidly, Pride threw a punch aimed right at Goku's skull. Not even moving to block the attack it hit Goku head on, a loud crack echoing throughout the canyon walls. Pride smirked at his handiwork, thinking he had it in the bag, but shook with fear when the Saiya-jin warrior reached up and began to squeeze the Sin's throat.
"If you had just left this planet peacefully like Vegeta and the others wanted you to, you wouldn't be dealing with this pain now," Goku snarled, "As it stands to me, you've already marked yourself for death..."
Pride's eyes lit up with fear as the Saiya-jin's fist smashed into his chin, hurtling the man into the air at a rapid pace. After a few seconds of just soaring, Pride righted himself and tried to clear his head enough to fight. As the Sin did so, Goku jumped into the air and proceeded to deliver a flawless barrage of punches and kicks to his opponent's middle.
Dark blood flowed from the Sin's mouth as Goku intensified the fury behind his blows and started to hit Pride in more sensitive places. The Sin felt as though his body would crack in half as the Saiya-jin's earth shattering blows connected to his defenseless body, pushing him to the breaking point. Goku smirked with satisfaction as he drew back from his onslaught and smashed his foot into the back of Pride's neck, hurtling him into the ground below.
Dust kicked up all around the decrepit Sin, blinding anyone too weak to shield themselves from the cloud, as Goku descended to the ground. Pride could tell that his arm was broken in several places, as he couldn't move it at all, and he could feel several cuts begin to sting as the dust got in them. Anger twisted around in the man's gut as he looked at the smug Saiya-jin before him and he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
"You've had your fun monkey-boy, but now the fun's over!" Pride yelled, flaring his aura out, "Now, prepare to meet your friends in the next life!"
Pride charged at the Saiya-jin with all his might, closing the gap between them at a rapid pace as the ground beneath him gave way to his power. Goku couldn't help but smirk as the crazed fighter charged at him full force, his technique sloppy due to the rage he had let consume him. The Saiya-jin moved into stance regardless, readying himself for anything the Sin could dish out.
"The fool is already dead," Goku chuckled, "He just doesn't know it..."
Brolly watched his fellow Saiya-jin's movements with curiosity as the Saiya-jin resumed his onslaught against the deranged Sin. Goku was clearly toying with his opponent and the way he was fighting showed it, and it was something Brolly had never witnessed before after watching the powerful Saiya-jin's fights.
"Something on your mind?" Piccolo muttered, "Care to discuss it?"
"Kakarot has never toyed with his opponents like this before, not even when he was fighting me," Brolly nodded, "Why is he taking his time with this battle?"
"The Sins have killed many of our friends and family, as did Pride himself," Piccolo smirked, "No matter that he didn't do it all himself, Goku holds the ringleader primarily responsible. Pride is going to die in a gruesome manner, Goku will see to that personally."
"So I can see," Brolly gulped, "By the way, when are you going to do what we discussed on the plane?"
"I'd completely forgotten about that!" Piccolo growled, "Give me a few minutes and we'll be all ready."
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Bonzar interrupted, walking up to the two fighters, "And how are you two even alive?"
"That's not important right now," Brolly grumbled, "Piccolo, are you ready yet?"
"Yes, it's done," Piccolo chuckled, an eerie glow covering his body, "I'm ready."
"Then the time has come to fix things," Brolly smiled, walking over to Piccolo, "Now, I call you out...SHENLONG!!!"
Even as the Saiya-jin spoke dark clouds filled the sky and lightning crashed upon the landscape, burning away several rock faces. Piccolo's body grew almost two feet taller as the greenish-blue glow around his body intensified, cracking the ground underneath him. The remaining warriors watched with wonder as Piccolo's eyes flashed red for a second and the silhouette of a dragon began to encircle his body, as did seven orange orbs.
"YOU HAVE AWAKENED ME FROM MY SLUMBER," Piccolo boomed in Shenlong's voice, "NAME YOUR FIRST WISH!"
"Might Shenlong, many have been killed in the battles here on Earth," Brolly smirked, "Our first wish is that you restore to life all those killed in the battle with Pride and his minions!"
Everyone watched with wonder as Piccolo's eyes flashed brightly for a second, blinding some of the weakened fighters. The light died down not long after and everyone looked around to see the dead bodies of fallen fighters stand up again, completely healed of all injuries. Many of the remaining fighters, forgetting their own injuries, jumped up and rushed over to their loved ones and friends, glad to be reunited with them.
"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED, AND ENMA SENDS HIS THANKS!" Shenlong's voice echoed, "STATE YOUR SECOND WISH."
"Shenlong, we would ask that you restore all damages done to the Earth since the arrival of the Sins," Brolly chuckled.
"IT IS DONE!" Shenlong almost laughed, Piccolo's eyes flashing, "I BID YOU FAREWELL..."
All around the fully rejuvenated group of fighters the ruined cities and landscape was restored to it's former glory, as had been requested. Watching the whole spectacle with wonder before them, nobody noticed Piccolo drop to his knees in exhaustion as the light of Shenlong died down around him. Upon hearing his former mentor drop to the ground, Gohan rushed over to the Nameksei-jin and helped him up, a small smile playing over the hybrid's features.
"How did you do that, Piccolo?" Gohan asked, "I mean, nobody's ever done something like that before!"
"Shenlong was my creation and since he has been replaced by Dende's new dragon, then I can summon Shenlong through my own body," Piccolo heaved, "However, it is a very draining experience!"
"Well, thanks a lot anyway, my old friend," Gohan almost cried, "I'll be sure to visit you later. We've got a lot to catch up on!"
Piccolo watched as Gohan rushed off towards a small group of fighters, some of whom he recognized and others he didn't, and a small smirk washed over the green warrior's face. As he watched the little reunion unfold before him, Brolly walked over to the green man and placed a hand on his shoulder, a warm smile on his face as well.
"Well, there you are Nameksei-jin," Brolly smiled, "You did it."
"No," Piccolo chuckled, touching his chest, "We did it..."
Pride had never felt agony of any kind before in his life, not since his first battle as a small child. Now, as the legendary Saiya-jin warrior Goku hammered blow after blow into the Sin's body, Pride was beginning to learn the meaning of the word. The most humiliating part, however, was that the Saiya-jin seemed to be enjoying every minute of it...
Pride lurched over as another powerful blow connected with the middle of his back, snapping his spine. The powerful Sin crashed to the ground below with a resounding thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. He tried desperately to get up and move in on his opponent, but found himself unable to move an inch.
"Not very fun is it, Pride?" Goku chuckled, walking up to the Sin's body, "Now you know what it feels like to be helpless, to truly have the taste of fear in your mouth!"
Pride knew that the Saiya-jin had kicked him in the side, but he hadn't been able to feel it at all. Everything below his chest was so numb that he wouldn't even have known it was there if he wasn't able to see it. This brought with it the realization that the end was at hand and that Pride would soon be meeting his ancestors again.
"You Saiya-jin are monsters!" Pride heaved, "You would wipe out the last surviving members of a race just for revenge?"
"Isn't that what you were here to do?" Goku growled, kneeling in front of his crippled opponent, "To wipe out any trace of the Saiya-jin race that remained?"
Pride lowered his head in defeat, knowing that the Saiya-jin had him on that point and that he had truly been beaten in every area, both physically and mentally. Goku rose back to his feet to gaze down one more time at his opponent's body, then proceeded to walk away from the Sin.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you," Goku laughed, "That wouldn't be humiliating enough for my taste."
"Then you are just going to let me live?" Pride chuckled, "You aren't as bright as I gave you credit for!"
"Oh no, you are still going to die, just not by my hand," Goku smirked, motioning to his side, "I thought I'd let him do it."
Pride looked up in horror into the angry face he recognized only too well, that of the Saiya-jin prince. Vegeta was only in the second form of Super Saiya-jin, but it was more then enough to get the job done. Pride could feel the hatred radiating off of the Saiya-jin's body as a blue ball of energy began to charge directly over his head.
"We will be avenged!" Pride growled, "One day, even if it's a thousand years from now, someone will kill all you Saiya-jin's!"
"Over my dead body!" Vegeta roared, thrusting the blue ki ball right into Pride's frightened face.
Blue light enveloped the whole canyon, blinding any onlookers with it's intensity, as the last of the Sin's was wiped out in an awesome display of power. Goku watched with satisfaction as the dark man's body was reduced to nothing more than ashes, then not even those remained as Vegeta's energy died down. The Saiya-jin prince smirked as he turned to look into the face of his former rival, the dust that had kicked up around them settling enough for both to clearly see each other.
"I see you made it after all," Vegeta chuckled, "I guess it's good to have you back, Kakarot. Now there is finally a worth fighter on this mud ball!"
"Nice to see you too, Vegeta," Goku laughed, rolling on the ground, "It really is good to be back..."
