Chapter 3: Great battle!

Devil flew back into the cave and landed in the middle of the room. He looked around. He didn't see anything suspicious. Other than some odd new rock formations.
Suddenly, the rock formations exploded! Devil spun around, his head darted from one side to the other.

"HAAAA!"

Vegeto and Trunten emerged from one of the smoke clouds and double kicked Devil in his face! The surprised demon was thrown back, but he stopped in mid air. He growled at them, baring his fangs.

"Wowh! Is it just me or did he get much uglier than before?" Trunten teased.

Devil roared and flexed his new black demon wings! Devil had indeed changed. He was much bigger now. He had black demon wings, green skin, the horn had disappeared, bigger muscles, claws instead of nails, bigger tail, and red eyes. Devil roared into the air! A dark aura surrounded him as he unleashed a devastating shockwave! Vegeto and Trunten caught the wave and tried to push it back but failed. They stood there, pushing with all their might. Suddenly, a spiral beam hit Devil in the back, disrupting the shockwave! Vegeto and Trunten quickly pushed the shockwave back at Devil, who just slapped it away. Piccolo emerged from the smoke with his arms crossed.

"Come on, guys! Let's get this demon!" Piccolo yelled and put his hands beside each other.

Energy gathered inside his palms. Krillin and Gohan emerged from the smoke and dropped into fighting stances.

"Let's get him!" Krillin yelled.

Devil, now being in his third form, just stared at them. Suddenly, he disappeared! He reappeared before Piccolo. He decked him with an uppercut, followed by an spinning roundhouse kick! Piccolo flew into the cave wall where he collapsed. Vegeto growled in anger! He held out his arms and a blue ball emerged before them.

"Final Kamehameha!" Vegeto yelled!

He launched the energy ball at Devil! Devil turned around and held out his own arms. The high-powered ball hit him and exploded upon impact!

"Yes! We got him!" Krillin cheered.

Suddenly, a booming voice erupted!

"SOUL PAIN!" Devil roared!

A red beam was fired from his hands and it went directly for Vegeto!

"Aah!" Vegetogasped and braced himself!

When the beam hit, Vegeto only saw whiteness. The pain blinded him! He doubled over, holding his stomach and screamed in pain! It felt like thousands of knifes were penetrating his body!

"VEGETO!" Trunten yelled.

Vegeto fell to his knees and screamed, holding his stomach! Then he collapsed on the ground. Devil roared in fury! The black aura came back and his power grew!

"V, Vegeto!" Piccolo said weakly as he got up from the ground.

He flew up to Krillin and Gohan. Trunten balled his fists and yelled!

"YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THAT!" Trunten screamed in fury!

Devil just stared at him with those red cold eyes. Trunten drew in large amounts of air and closed his mouth. His power level was rising at an alarming rate too! Devil just stood there, staring at him. The black aura around him growing stronger for every second. Piccolo put two fingers to his forehead and they started to glow. Krillin clenched his fists and gathered energy into them.

"RRRROOOOAAAARRRR!" Devil roared!

Dark energy balls flew from his body and crashed into the walls, causing huge explosions! They all shivered as they felt Devil's power grow!

"Haa! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" Trunten yelled, spitting out at least 60 small ghost versions of himself at the demon!

They hit Devil head on and exploded! Trunten panted, then he grinned.

"That HAD to hurt!" Trunten said.

Suddenly, Devil appeared before him! Trunten didn't have time to block the upcoming assault! Devil punched him in the ribs, causing him to double over! He coughed up some blood as he fell onto his knees. Devil then sent him flying with a hard kick! Trunten flew up into the air, crashed into the opposite wall, and slid down to the ground unconscious. Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan yelled in fury and flew down behind Devil. Gohan put his hands in a Kamehameha pose and gathered massive energy! Krillin held his hands forward and fired a powerfull energy beam!

"Misty Kiwave!" Krillin yelled.

"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo yelled and pointed the two fingers he had been holding to his forehead forward and fired an energy beam with another beam spiralling around it!

"Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled and fired a blue beam of power!

All their attacks hit Devil and caused a huge explosion! The demon staggered back a few steps, and then he roared in anger! His power boosted greatly because of his rage, making the ground around him erupt!
Vegeto got up on all fours, panting hard. He opened his eyes and got up into a kneeling position. He looked around, his eyes widened as he saw Trunten lying by the opposite wall in a heap. Vegeto then spotted Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin. They were standing a distance away with their arms outstretched. A large smoke cloud were coming from something before them which Vegeto guessed was Devil. He slowly stood up and quickly flew over to Trunten. He kneeled by his sons´ side and shook him.

"Hey, Trunten! Hey, come on now! Wake up!" Vegeto said, shaking him.

Trunten moaned and opened his eyes. He sat up and winched in pain. He gripped his ribs hard and grit his teeth.

"Ah! Damn! It hurts!" Trunten said through grit teeth.

Vegeto looked at his ribs. Blood was pouring down his hand as he held his wound. Vegeto offered him his arm and helped him to stand up. Trunten coughed up a little more blood and turned to Vegeto.

"Trunten? What the hell happened to you? You look like you've been overrun by a truck ten times!" Vegeto said, looking at his wounded friend.

"It was Devil. I tried to blast him but failed. You see this? (Trunten points towards his chest wound) Devil did it. He did it with one punch. Then he sent me flying into the wall there." Trunten said as he walked forward with the help of Vegeto.

"Damn, he must be really powerful! Even you and me can't beat him! Do you think he's in his complete form?" Vegeto asked.

"Hmm, no. He can't have absorbed every life form on the earth except us yet. Maybe three fours of it. No, I think he's in his next to final form." Trunten said.

Vegeto took out a small bag from his pocket and took out two beans from it. He put the bag back into his pocket.

"Here. Eat it. It's Senzu." Vegeto said.

Trunten took the bean and ate it. As did Vegeto. Trunten immediately felt better! He stopped leaning on Vegeto for support and powered back up to his maximum! Vegeto did as well.

"Thanks, bud. I needed that!" Trunten said.

Vegeto nodded and he also powered up.

"You're welcome. Now, let's get this bastard, shall we?" Vegeto said and flew of towards the others.

Trunten nodded and flew after him.

"That doesn't sound too good!" Krillin said as strong winds blew away the smoke and revealed Devil.

The demon was standing a few feet away, roaring out his fury! The dark aura around his body became stronger every minute!

"Oh, shit!" Gohan said and backed off a little.

Just then, Vegeto and Trunten landed beside them.

"Hey! You're all right!" Krillin said, clearly stunned at their lack of previous wounds.

"Yeah, we took a Senzu Bean each. So, what's up with Devil? He looks pretty furious!" Vegeto said.

"Yeah! You can say that again! Since he transformed into his third form, he's become much more menacing and evil!" Piccolo said.

"And much more powerful! Vegeto and Trunten´s best attacks didn't even face him! I'd say we're up for a challenge!" Gohan said.

"So, what's he doing?" Trunten asked as Devil continued powering up.

"I don't know. But I don't think It's gonna be good!" Vegeto said and balled his fists.

Everyone readied themselves as they watched Devil power up.
