"Dragonball AS: SCU Saga"

Chapter 66- "Nightmare's End"

By- Tiny

Goshin charged at Reiza, throwing a fist right at her face but missing the mark as the human woman sidestepped, driving a knee into the Saiya-jin's stomach. A small amount of blood shot out of Goshin's mouth, but he quickly regained his composure and drove his elbow into Reiza's unguarded head, knocking the woman back several feet before she recovered and charged again.

The Saiya-jin was prepared for the charge and jumped up above his human opponent, driving his foot into the back of her head as she passed. Reiza skidded hard across the rocky terrain, scratching her face up as she did so, and continued to move until she hit a large rock formation. A crack appeared in the formation where she had hit, causing the whole thing to fall apart and come down on top of Reiza, giving Goshin an opening he had been waiting for.

"Time to end this," the Saiya-jin chuckled, "Ka...me....Ha....me..."

"I don't think so monkey-boy!" Reiza roared, bursting out of the rubble, "DEATH BEAM!!!"

Goshin was completely unprepared for a counterattack and took Reiza's attack right in the shoulder, shattering the bone under his muscles. The Saiya-jin's arm fell limply at his side as he screamed with agony, clutching the bloody shoulder while trying to stop the bleeding. Reiza noticed this and, deciding not to give him a break, phased next to the Saiya-jin and rammed a knee right into his injured shoulder.

Fresh pain surged through every fiber of the Saiya-jin's being as Reiza's blow registered in his brain, causing his screams to echo across the landscape. The Saiya-jin had dropped down to the first level now, his power dropping steadily as he continued to lose blood. The only solution he could think of was to rip some cloth from his pants and wrap it around the wound as a bandage, but that didn't work very well and his energy continued to drop, much to Reiza's amusement.

"And to think that I used to fear this level," Reiza laughed rising into the air, "I'm afraid that you disappoint me Saiya-jin, though I must commend you for your efforts."

"Go to hell, bitch!" Goshin snarled, "It may be the last thing I do, but I will find a way to destroy you!"

"That'll be the day," Reiza grinned, raising her hand to the sky, "This is going to be the end of you and your precious friends, monkey. I hope you can live with yourself knowing that you failed them all!"

Goshin looked angry, so much so that he could've killed with a look, but that anger soon faded to shock as he noticed the energy gathering rapidly around Reiza's fingertips. At first it was just a small red energy ball, not even big enough to kill a normal human, but it soon started to grow larger and larger right before the Saiya-jin's bewildered eyes. After only a few seconds, the ball had become the size of a large meteor and looked like a dense fireball hovering dangerously above the planet's surface.

"Farewell Saiya-jin!" Reiza laughed, "I'll see you in Hell!!!"

Goshin powered up as much as he could manage as the energy attack moved slowly down towards him, causing the ground to tremble violently. As if on instinct, the Saiya-jin brought both his good and bad arm up in front of him, reaching out to try and push the energy ball back as it came upon him. The wave was intensely hot and Goshin could feel his hands burning and, most likely blistering under the heat, but didn't think about that as he struggled against the energy attack.

Reiza noticed that the Saiya-jin had managed to block the blast and increased the power in it, pushing it down harder and more intensely than before on the injured Saiya-jin's body. Goshin whimpered slightly at the increase in density and rise in temperature around him, but continued to struggle against the blast as best he could, veins popping out of his body all over.

"Guys," he sent out to the others, "Help...me...."

Everyone on the Lookout was watching the battle with relative concern, especially since Goshin lost a massive percentage of his power, and it only grew worse when Reiza threw the Death Ball. Kimuchi was sweating bullets as he watched the events unfold underneath him, his white hair turning whiter if that was at all possible. He looked about ready to rush off himself when a voice came inside his head, pleading for help, and the guardian immediately jumped into action.

"Everyone, send your energy to Goshin!" Kimuchi ordered, thrusting his hands forward, "He needs our help!"

"Are you sure that was him?" Goken gulped, "It might've been Reiza trying to play a trick on us."

"Then don't send it to her, dummy!" Boxer growled, reaching his hands out, "Just send it to Goshin!"

Everyone else on the Lookout didn't even bother to question Kimuchi's order, thrusting their hands forward and sending all the power they could muster out to their comrade. Goken was a little more reluctant, but soon threw his hands forward and felt as his energy mingled with the other's rushing out to the battlefield quickly. As it got closer, the could feel the collective energy merge with Bikini's and then continue on towards its target. Everyone on the Lookout collapsed, depleted of almost everything they had to give, and breathed heavily as they reached out with their senses to see if their maneuver had worked.

They really hoped it had for if the plan didn't go through, then they had just doomed the entire planet....

Goshin could feel fresh blood running down the sides of his face and out of his shoulder wound, the pain raging through his body as he struggled against Reiza's assault desperately. Things were looking bleak for the Saiya-jin warrior, as they were for the rest of the world should he be unsuccessful, and that was something that he absolutely would not stand for.

The Saiya-jin could feel his body weakening continuously, the force of the ball in his hands too much for him to handle safely, and he was just about to give in to oblivion when it happened. Something hit the Saiya-jin man's body all at once, causing all injuries to his battered body to disappear as though they had never been there in the first place, power surging through his veins. Goshin's giant golden aura burst out around his body, causing the crater he was now in to widen under the pressure as his power level shot up higher then ever before.

Goshin's golden hair clustered up again, blue bolts of energy shooting out all around him as he pushed the ball up away from himself and into the air. The clustered hair shot quickly down Goshin's backside as the sudden power boost came close to capping off, his eyebrows burning away so quickly it was though they had never even been there to start with.

Then, to finish it all off, Goshin's severed tail shot back down his backside, waving around excitedly in the air as a wicked smirk came across the Saiya-jin's features. Not wasting a second, Goshin charged up a blue energy wave in the palms of his hands and began to make the Death Ball shrink. Reiza looked on in shock as her attack lessened in mass right before her eyes, causing the blue attack to expand.

"What is this!?!" Reiza gasped, "This shouldn't be happening!"

"Ka.....me...."

"I will not be beaten by another monkey!" Reiza roared, pouring the last of her power into the attack, "NOT AGAIN!!!!"

"Ha....me....."

"THIS IS NOT THE END!!!!"

"HA!!!!!"

Reiza could only watch in horror as her Death Ball ceased to even exist and a massive blue energy attack slammed right into her body, swallowing the woman's entire being in a brilliant light. The woman could feel the flesh on her body melting away into nothingness, just as it had all those years ago when she had first come to Earth in the past life. Now here she was, in the same situation over half a century later, and it was still a Saiya-jin that was taking her out.

"Perhaps...I was...wrong," Reiza groaned, the last of her body burning away, "They...really are...better...."

The massive KameHameHa burst out of the atmosphere, destroying any trace of the human woman's body as the blast itself died down and evaporated in the vacuum of space. Reiza, the woman who had caused everyone so much heartache, was dead and Goshin should've been overjoyed, but there was only one thing on his mind as he collapsed on the ground, all his power disappearing.

Bikini, who was now well enough to move, rushed over to her mate and rolled him over, hoping that he too hadn't died while fighting. The slow, steady pulse that she felt when she got there was enough to assure that he was alive as Bikini turned Goshin over, expecting to see a look of anger or contempt on his face as she had earlier. What she did see, however, almost made her laugh in surprise.

Goshin, the son of Pan, was smiling warmly up at the sky, his eyes closed tightly and a small trickle of drool on the corner of his mouth. Bikini giggled slightly, but didn't want to wake her mate up from his peaceful slumber and simply picked him up over he shoulder and took off in the air. Goshin didn't even seem to notice the wind against his body as he hugged around Bikini's waist, bringing a slight blush to the woman's features as she moved on.

"Sleep well Goshin," Bikini smiled, rubbing the man's hand, "You've more than earned it, my hero..."

NEXT TIME: Goshin, with the help of his friends energy, has defeated the resurrection of his family's most ancient enemy in a showdown for the ages! The problem is that now he has to break the news of Bikini's pregnancy to not only his parents, but to his mates as well.
