Chapter Thirty Two- The Shiiki's End

Gohan raced up to the front with his father running ahead. His heart pounded with all sorts of questions as the sirens continued to wail their death call. A huge line of Shiiki were up in the front of the town staring up at the bleak sky as the fighter ships zoomed closer. Both Z fighters stopped at their side. Goku still didn't understand the Shiiki's language so Gohan spoke to them.

"What's going on?" Gohan asked.

"It's over. They are coming to claim us." One of the Shiiki whispered, "This is the end."

"Who?"

"We are an advanced race and those two fleets are having a war over who could claim us… Now they have come to claim their prize."

Gohan clenched his fists and stared up at the sky as the millions of ships drew closer.

"What's the plan, Gohan?"

"There is way too many of them." Gohan whispered sadly, "I don't know how we could hold them back."

"Let's send Vegeta up there." Goku offered, "He could destroy several of them I'm sure."

"Yes but I don't have any idea how strong their armor might be. We are strong but how can we break through ships that are beyond out time?"

"How strong is the metal?"

"Thicker than your head." Vegeta's voice snapped behind them, "Karkarott."

Gohan and Goku turned to see the rest of the male part of the Z group join them. Videl and Chichi were no where to be seen. Gohan bit his lip and stared back up at the sky,

"I guess we don't know until we try." Gohan sighed, "Dad, Mirai Trunks, and I will stay down here to protect the villages and evacuate everyone. Vegeta… You and Chibi Trunks should go up there and destroy as many as you can."

Vegeta smirked a little at the plan and grinned,

"It's about time you came up with a decent plan, Gohan."

Suddenly the earth around them exploded up with great force as the ships fired down at them. Gohan was hurled backwards by all the dust. Once it had cleared all the Shiiki were gone. Gohan blinked and looked around in a panic to where they could have gone. His heart filled with dread as Goku placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Concentrate, Gohan." He whispered, "Concentrate. Don't worry. These Creatures are fast remember."

Gohan let out a sigh of relief at those words and smiled back, "Yeah. You're right."

Vegeta and Chibi Trunks kicked off the ground in unison as their hair jetted upwards into a bright gold. They both screamed out at the nearest ship shooting right through it. The rest of the Z team covered their heads as the scraps of metal showered around them all.

"We have to save the rest of the creatures." Mirai Trunks snapped, "Fast or not, they will not last long against this kind of power."

"Right." Both Gohan and Goku nodded.


Videl raced into the next hut after evacuating the last one. She raced into the already opened hut to spot a small Shiiki laying on the floor crying. Videl rushed to its side and hugged it close.

"Please don't cry." Videl whispered, "It will be okay."

The creature let out small weak sobs as it held onto Videl's shirt with all it's might. Another blast rocked the earth causing Videl to flinch. She looked down finally spotting what was really wrong with this creature.

It's blind… Videl thought helplessly.

Dust sprayed through the opened windows stinging Videl's face. Videl ducked down at that small warning as flames lunged out at the last second. Videl hugged the tiny creature underneath her.


Gohan held out his hands as a force field shielded over the small shelter of huts he was protecting. He could just spot Goku and Mirai Trunks in the distance doing the same. The blasts collided with his force field with several earth shattering explosions. Gohan closed his eyes as his strength began weakening. How could technology be stronger then them? Gohan shook his head trying to focus his strength on his force field.

"I will protect these people." Gohan hissed, "They have every right to live, just like we do."

Suddenly, the firing stopped. Gohan waited for it to continue but it didn't. Gohan looked around for the fleet to see them gone. Slowly he lowered his defenses wondering if Vegeta destroyed them all…

There was a abrupt blast of fire to his left where Mirai Trunks was, but it appeared to come out of thin air. He could just barely see Trunks bring up his shield in time. Gohan was too stunned to move when the blasts shot down at him next. He tried to bring up his force field, but this time he was too late. The white hot flames erupted all about him as screamed in pain. Several screams joined his as his side town disappeared in a white light. Gohan's ears picked up a faint scream behind that he recognized with a agonizing jolt of his heart. The dream swam back into his pain clouded mind as his screams turned into a cries of anger.

Gohan's hair lifted lightly with the rough wind faded into a bright gold as his eyes changed into that haunting blue. The blue lighting sparked across his powerful body as he transformed into his alter ego self. He raised his arms to the skies and fired out the biggest blast he could manage causing the black sky to erupt in a deep red of flames. Gohan stood firm as the dust settled around him. He glared angrily as his face was painted orange in the skies light. He closed his eyes as his hair fell back into it's original dark color as Gohan let out a small sigh and fell backwards into the dirt, exhausted.


"Gohan!" Goku cried out distinguishing his son's screams in the distance, "He didn't bring up his shields in time!"

In spite of himself, Goku dropped his own shield to rush to his son's rescue. He had barely gotten there when the explosions erupted at his part of the town. Goku was hurled forward into the dirt. Goku shook it off and pushed himself back up rushing to the section which was up in flames. Gohan's screams were still evidently coming from there. Mirai Trunks appeared at Goku's side lowering his two fore fingers from his forehead. They stared helpless as screams echoed in the two Sayians' heads. Unexpectedly, one of the screams rose above all the rest. It wasn't screams of pain as Trunks and Goku quickly realized, it was screams of rage.

"Gohan!" Goku exclaimed.

A sudden blast rocketed up at the sky detonated thousands of the hidden ships. Goku and Trunks' jaws dropped… That wasn't Super Sayian Power. It wasn't even at level 2! Both eyes scanned over to the young boy in the middle of the destruction, a ring of white flames about him. His eyes sparked purple for an instant before he fell backwards in a dead faint. The white flames died out instantly after his fall…


Videl clutched the small creature close to her heart as the hut exploded into flames. She let out a scream of terror as the little creature joined her. Tears swept down her cheeks as pain washed over her like a drowning wave. She screamed out one last time before loosing herself in complete darkness... When she fell a small red shield frosted over her body and her body alone.

When she had opened her eyes again, the creature was limp in her arm. Tears of regret burst it's way out of her cerulean eyes as she stared at the empty face of the childish creature. She shook her head not daring to believe it. Videl looked around herself finding the entire building was gone as she sat in what appeared to be a waste land.

"GOHAN!" Videl screamed out, "GOHAN? GOKU? VEGETA? TRUNKS? CHICHI? ANYONE?"

She lowered the dead body to the ground as she got to her weak legs. Her heart froze at the empty landscape. Where had they all gone? Were they all dead?


"Stop. Don't move." Someone in, what appeared to be a heavy astronaut suit, shouted at Mirai Trunks and Goku as they neared Gohan, "Or I'll kill you."

Goku stared over at Gohan's unconscious form, uncertainly. The alien caught his gaze and hissed,"Is he still alive?"

"Yes." Goku snapped.

"Then pick him up." It growled, "He is coming with us."


Videl let out an angry scream of rage and charged out full at the nearest ship. A flaming ki blast melted up from her fists causing her hands to melt right through the engine of the ship. The ship let out some sputtering noises and exploded scattering it's remains over the sky. Videl smirked.


Vegeta and Chibi Trunks hovered a few feet away captured by a strange holding device that the intruders that had used on them. Both Sayians watched in amazement as Videl went from one ship to another her rage controlling her as she blew up countless ships.

"Wow." Chibi Trunks muttered, "She really would make a fine mate for Gohan, huh dad?"

"What in the world?" The alien that had captured them shouted, "We have another survivor! Someone catch her before she blows up more fleets."


Videl smiled as she destroyed each vessel. She loved it. As she destroyed each ship she claimed each of them for Gohan. Suddenly, Videl felt a cold feeling rush down her spine. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again she saw Gohan was holding her hands.

"Stop Videl." Gohan muttered, "I'm not worth this much…"

Videl knew no more.
