I wish I owned DBZ, but I don't. I own DVD's and tapes, but it just isn't the same. I also don't own the right to Starcraft or any of the music pieces you see selected, just copies of merchandise, such a shame. The artists that created them are geniuses and we all must bow to them.
Chapter 27: Saving the world, again
The huge blue beams collided in the sky, sending out energy waves so strong that the birds on the other side of the world were blown down. Humans in evacuation camps took cover wherever they could, rather it be under a bed or a tree out in the country. King Furry and Dr. Briefs hid underneath a table along with some of the guards, praying to survive. Korin and Yajirobi were severely shaken on the tower, spilling the food they were eating. Popo was trying to save his plants as the huge gust of wind came through, taking his turban and almost him as well. Back at the battlefield, the Son family's triple Kamehameha held against the Psi Cannon's beam, wavering slightly. Neither side gave an inch in the struggle, surprising most of the Protoss up in space.
Aldaris screamed at his officers when he saw this, "BOOST THE POWER NOW!"
The tactical officer gasped slightly at the tone, but punched it in, "Raising power to fifty percent!" The Psi cannon fired a beam almost twice the size of what it had been, coming down on the other a few moments later. The Kamehameha wavered more, then began to get pushed back towards the ground.
"Damnit, it's not working!" Vegeta shouted, powering up to Super Saiyan three straight through. He jumped in behind the Son's and fired his own beam to support theirs. Tora and Fasha jumped in to assist as ascended Saiyans and fired beams as well. The Z team's beam expanded to match the Psi Cannon's, pushing it back to a stalemate. By now a huge ball had formed at the collision of the beams, growing more and more all the time. Aldaris scowled when he saw the power boost was matched and pushed back to the stalemate.
"Raise power to seventy percent!" The Templar officers gave him a questioning look.
"You heard me!" he snarled, getting the command across. The beam expanded once again, and pressed down on the challenger beam from Earth. Gohan and Goku grimaced as their huge beam was shrinking quickly in length back towards them. Krillin, Tien and Yamcha quickly came to their side, firing adjoining Kamehamehas. Piccolo and Eighteen weren't far behind in doing the similar. Goten and Trunks then fused and powered up to Super Saiyan three, joining the fray. The beam barely pushed back to the previous position's stalemate. Mr. Satan glanced at Buu, who was watching in wonder.
"Buu, can you help them?" he asked.
"Yes, Buu help!"
"Then get those bastards up in space! Try and shut down whatever is making this happen!" Satan ordered as he rushed over to help his friends. Buu flew straight up as fast as he could, heading straight for outer space.
Everything you say to me
Takes me One Step Closer to the edge
And I'm about to Break!
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm One Step Closer to the edge
And I'm about to...Break!
"Judicator, we're picking up a powerful energy signature emerging from Earth's atmosphere, coming straight at us!"
"What now? Identify!" Aldaris asked from the command chair. The screen blipped to Buu coming right at the large fleet, not in the happiest of moods either.
"Damn, it's that blob creature! Kill it!" he ordered. The small but agile scout ships flew at Buu by the hundreds. They fired their homing missiles at him. Buu stopped and flew away from them as they followed. The missiles closed in faster than Buu thought they could, so he flew in random directions trying to shake them. A few exploded when they collided with each other, but there were still several hundred on his tail. Buu flew around a little more before he saw the Protoss fleet before him. Grinning, he flew into the swarm of small ships, weaving his way around them as they fired their close range blasters at him. Just as he planned, the missiles followed him in, impacting the ships as well since there was so many of them. Still with a lot of missiles and ships on his tail. Buu then spotted the large Psi Cannon sitting in the middle of the huge fleet. He fired several quick ki blasts at it and flew backwards, still trying to shake a lot of missiles that didn't quit. The ki blasts impacted, but did little damage to the cannon. Buu growled slightly, speeding up to give him a better angle and shot towards the cannon. He pulled up just above it, firing a large ball of ki at it. It hit and exploded, still not doing much other than scratches. He flew off again to avoid the missiles, this time going back into the pack of Protoss ships that had been chasing him. He stopped in the middle of this lessened swarm, allowing a missile to hit him once he did. The other missiles closed in and hit where his head had been, creating an explosive cloud.
"Got him. Judicator, the blob is dead!" a Templar said from his station happily.
"Excellent, make sure he's gone for good!" Aldaris grinned.
"Not to worry, his head has been blown off and his body is a drift in space!" The scouts and larger ships closed in on Buu's unmoving body and surrounded him.
"In that case, bring the remains aboard. I want to study this creature thoroughly!" Then Buu's body started moving and it flipped upwards.
"What the?" Aldaris asked. Many of the other officers had the same response. Buu then pulled a new head out from his neck, along with a cape.
"How is that possible?" Aldaris asked in shock. Buu started steaming up, angered now.
"Now you all go bye bye!" he screeched before letting his power go and forming a huge explosion coming out from his body. Any Protoss ships nearby suffered either heavy damage or were destroyed completely if they were too close. Buu gasped for a little bit of breath amidst the new debris field, assuming he needed to breathe. The Psi Cannon and Aldaris' command ship were too far to be terribly affected, but took notice regardless.
"Blast it, send in the interceptors!" Aldaris ordered. The large carrier ships then turned course towards Buu, tiny little flyers coming out of them. Buu glanced at the new swarm of even smaller ships and widened his eyes slightly. The interceptors were no bigger than he was, maybe smaller. There were only about twenty of them coming his way. In the first wave, he was able to knock a few from the skies and crush a few more with his hands. The Psi lasers they fired hit him, but not enough to do much other than annoy him. He regenerated the holes they created quickly, prepping for the next wave. The next wave, made the first one look like nothing. Buu's eyes widened as easily four to five hundred of the small attack fighters closed in on him.
"Uh oh!" he managed to say before engaging in the bigger fight.
These are the places that I can't feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it peels
During this ride we can cut out what we like
Waiting alone I cannot resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to peel off my face
Back on the ground, the Z fighters were starting to drag their feet from the large amount of energy they had been putting out.
"Guys, it isn't enough! Give it all you've got right now!" Goku shouted, doing just that with his beam. The others followed suit with whatever was left in their bodies, pushing the country-sized ball of energy back towards space.
"Judicator, they are pushing it back! The cannon can't keep this effort up!" Croton pointed out.
"Who would have thought these Saiyans have this much power?" Aldaris muttered. After watching the collision wave push its way into the upper atmosphere, Aldaris stood up with a firm expression.
"Give it everything we have, I want one hundred percent power from the Psi Cannon! Blast that planet to dust right now!" Aldaris ordered. All of his officers in the room gave him a shocked expression.
"But Judicator, that's never been tested! The cannon may not be able to produce that kind of power output. It's highly likely that it will overload if that power is generated for very long. The resulting explosion will kill us all, and the planet's explosion may do the same!"
"That does not matter, we must stop the Saiyans before they can rejoin the Zerg and hunt us down back to Auir! The traitor Tassadar is with them, remember? We cannot let them escape and doom us all, maximum power now!" Everyone looked stunned, but slightly understanding at the same time.
"Pushing to maximum power now Judicator!" The Psi cannon's beam now became nearly as big as the half the moon's diameter, the collision ball bigger. The ball plunged back towards earth, slowing as it neared the Z fighters, who were running on empty as it was.
"Oh no!" Gohan shouted.
"Damn it all!" Vegeta roared, firing everything he had left.
"King Kai! Call out to the people of earth, tell them to lend us their energy!" Goku cried out, hoping his trainer was listening. Luckily, he was, however he knew his voice wouldn't reach the people that well.
"Come here girl. Talk to the people of earth and tell them to lend their energy to our friends!" King kai said. The girl put her hand to King Kai's shoulder and spoke out to the Earth.
"People of earth, this is Videl Satan! My dad and our friends need your help to save us from destruction. Raise your hands and offer up your energy for them!" Instantly the whole population emerged from wherever they had been hiding and acknowledged the call.
"Quickly, we don't have much time!" Any human that was outside would see why in a bright blue light coming from the distance from the main continent. Millions of hands flooded into the air, and the energy surge made it's way to their heroes. Goku felt the surge and pulled one arm backward to reach out and accept it, keeping the other hand firing his beam.
"Thank you everyone!" Goku said. The Z team's beam swelled from the energy from the human's power, and steadily grew in mass until it matched the Psi Cannon's beam.
"Judicator, the power cells are starting to drain! The structural integrity is starting to fail around the cannon, and it won't last much longer!" Croton panicked.
"Just another few minutes should do it, they can't last forever!" Aldaris shouted in response.
On the ground, Goku cringed in desperation. The human energy had evened it out, but not enough to win. He pulled his other hand back to the beam; all of the energy the humans could give had been given.
"I can't keep this up!" Krillin shouted. Yamcha simply dropped to the ground, wiped out. Dende rushed in at this point, casting his healing magic over the whole group. He found he couldn't restore them all at once, but it helped keep the beam alive. Buu meanwhile had been battered, healed and battered some more, but finally had gotten far enough from the Protoss attack flyers to do something about them. His forelock flipped upward and cast his pink magic in a large concentration around each fighter.
"Now be candy!" The fighters then morphed over to rock candy, floating harmlessly in space. Buu flew straight at the Psi Cannon, currently shaking from all of the power it was putting out.
"No more!" he shouted, firing a large and powerful beam at it. It hit on the side, around where the power cells happened to be. Several of them exploded and in result the psi cannon's beam started to recede.
Blood is pouring
Blood is pouring
Blood is pouring
Blood is pouring
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!
Gohan glanced up as this happened, seeing the beam's power start to decrease and dug for all his powers that he could find.
"Now's our chance!" he shouted. The others followed suit and all collapsed as they did, dropping out of whatever transformation they might have been in. Gohan hung on and used his remaining power to stay up. The last bit of power from the Z team poured forth from him and mixed with his Psi energy, turning the beam teal green in color and pushing the planet sized ball of power into space.
"Judicator, the cannon is failing! It's going to blow!" The rest of the cannon's power cells melted from the battering of Buu's constant ki attacks and cut all the power from the cannon. The massive green Kamehameha then surged into it, destroying it along with half of the remaining Protoss fleet. The beam pushed past and into the deep reaches of space. Aldaris's ship shook violently as the cannon blew up, pushing them away from it. Other ships were either wiped out or pushed away with heavy damage.
Everything you say to me
Takes me One Step Closer to the edge
And I'm about to Break!
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm One Step Closer to the edge
And I'm about to... Break!
Gohan saw the explosions high in the sky and grinned slightly as he caught his breath, shutting down his now teal-green beam and taking a knee.
"We, did it!" he said as his hair turned black and he promptly fell to the ground. Goku, barely conscious despite Dende's healing magic, managed to crawl next to his son.
"No son. You did it! Good job, I'm proud of you!" Goku whispered with a smile before gazing up at the stars. Vegeta sat on one knee nearby, catching his breath.
He followed his rival's look to the sky and whispered to it, "If you're still alive Aldaris, You've just sealed your fate! You had better run for the rest of your life before we hunt you down. It's your move!"
