Chapter 10: Giving and taking!

Meanwhile, at the lookout...

Dende and Mister Popo looked down at the cave. The black sky rumbled as Mister Popo swallowed. Dende closed his eyes for a few seconds. He opened his eyes and dropped his jaw.

"What's going on down there, Dende?" Mister Popo asked.

"Goku´s and Vegeta´s power levels are far beyond what I have ever sensed before!" Dende said, shocked at the facts.

Mister Popo nodded.

"Yes, I can feel their spirits. But their spirits are now very close to one another. But I don't know why." Mister Popo said.

Dende slowly smiled.

"They have Fused Mister Popo. That's why their spirits seem to be so close to one another." Dende said and grinned.

Mister Popo smiled also.

"I guess we're safe once again." Mister Popo said.

Dende nodded to himself.
Suddenly, dark bolts of energy flew out of the cave below them! Dende was swept off his feet by an unseen force! He shook with fear. Mister Popo hurried over to him and kneeled.

"Mister Popo! Do you feel that? What incredible energy!" Dende stammered.

Mister Popo nodded.

"Yes, it is indeed incredible. But what does it mean, Dende?" Mister Popo stammered back.

"It means that...Devil is still alive!" Dende said.

Mister Popo was shocked by those words as he sat down too. They both shivered with fear.

(Come on, guys! It's not over yet! You have to beat him! You have to!) Dende thought.

In the cave...

Gogeta was still standing before the smoke cloud, fists clenched. Gohan and the others still cheered when...

"RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!"

A strong wind blew away the smoke cloud and revealed what I would call, a VERY pissed off demon! Gogeta frowned and dropped into a fighting stance. Gohan and the others just stared, jaws dropped.

Devil roared in absolute mad anger! Gogeta looked him over. Devil was indeed damaged. His horns had been blown off. He was covered with green goo which Gogeta assumed was blood. He had small cuts, wounds, and his wings had been almost completely blown off. But it didn't look like he really cared. As Devil roared, dark bolts of energy blasted of from his body and continued towards the roof. The lightning bolts exploded upon impact and in doing so, created more holes. The lightning bolts continued out of the cave and hit the dark sky. This made the sky darker than before.

Gogeta growled at this. He balled his fists and powered up to his maximum again, yelling with determination!

"Gogeta needs more power!" Piccolo said.

"Why are you saying that, Piccolo?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, why? Didn't you see how easily Gogeta reflected that monster beam? He already has enough power to finish that monster off!" Krillin said.

"No. He's still too weak. Devil's not at his maximum yet." Piccolo said and frowned.

"What? How do you know?" Trunks asked.

"Right now, Devil's anger is giving him insane strength. If we don't give Gogeta all of our last energy, then Devil will most surely triumph. Now, let's do this." Piccolo said and raised his left hand.

A green stream of energy flew from it and continued towards Gogeta. Piccolo immediately frowned and staggered back a few steps as he struggled to keep himself from fainting.

"Piccolo! Stop this! Your energy is too depleted!" Krillin said.

But the Namek continued. Trunks frowned in determination, and then he nodded to himself. He lifted his left hand and concentrated. Soon, a green stream of energy flew out from his body and hand towards Gogeta. Krillin soon followed suit.

"You guys...you're all nuts. Heh, I guess that's why I like you so much!" Goten said and grinned.

He raised his left hand. Gohan looked at his friends, and then he grinned.

"I know it's dangerous to give up almost all your energy at once but, I guess playing it safe is one thing we'll never learn!" Gohan said and raised his left hand.

Gogeta was still powering up when he felt it. He felt his energy boost greatly. Just like a minute ago. His silver aura became stronger around him, throbbing with new fresh power!

(W, what's going on?) Gogeta thought. He looked behind him. He saw the others standing there, giving him the last of their energies while struggling to keep their balance. Gogeta smiled and turned back to Devil. The fused warrior was really touched by his friend's sacrifices.

"C, can't...hold on...!" Trunks said weakly.

The green energy stream disappeared. The powerful warrior fell down to his knees, then on the ground.

"Good luck...Goku...Vegeta...no, good luck...Gogeta...!"Krillin said, then the green energy stream disappeared.

He fell onto his back and fainted.

"My last energy...use it well." Goten said before the green stream of energy disappeared.

He too fell onto his back.

"My energy...use it...use it to send that guy back to hell! To where he came from!" Piccolo yelled.

The green energy stream disappeared and he fell forward. He landed on the ground with a thud.

"Goku, Vegeta...I've always believed that you two had the strength inside of you to overcome every evil...which you will...! Good luck...Gogeta! And...good luck...father...!" Gohan said weakly.

Then he closed his eyes and fell backwards as the green energy stream disappeared. He fell onto his back and fainted.

Gogeta stood up straight and screamed! Now, he was ready!


That was chapter 10! Yes! Things are really heating up! Let´s hurry along to chapter 11!
