I know it's been a very long time since the last update, but I never forget a story! So, here is the next chapter of the sixth installment of the famous Chibi series!

Oh, and thank you to all who reviewed so very long ago:

Chibi Goten-chan – Hm, I never really thought of female enemies...but then again, Shikyo is referred to as "he" but it wouldn't matter either way. And the end where Trunks and Goten have to fight on their own is going to be really good, but for now, he other characters will have roles too, second to Yonk and the boys, of course. Anyway, I'm glad that you like this and thanks for the compliments.

Animeprincess1452 – Yeah, that's good that the formatting works out okay. And now Shikyo is here...oh no, whatever shall we do?! Well, this chapter will tell you just what we are going to do, well not really us, but...you get the idea.

Chapter 2: No Chance

The cold darkness of space was one place where there was truly nothing, nothing but infinite dark and infinite cold, a place touted as the place where one could never hear you scream.

Gohan felt like screaming now, he didn't want to die, he knew if he did, since he had died before at the hands of Buu, he could not be revived by Shenron. As well as that, he knew that that monster whatever-his-name-was had destroyed New Namek, and that meant that being wished back by Porunga was also impossible. Dying in it's own right was scary, but not that bad since one could always rely on the Dragonballs, but after dying once, Gohan realized, one becomes terrified of a "final" death, one from which you cannot come back. Of course, thought the Saiya-jin, my dad can die a thousand times and always come back, they owe him that. As he looked out the porthole in the spacecraft, wondering why he couldn't feel the energy of the monster, like an android or something, he realized that the thin metal of the cockpit wall was the only thing between his pallid face and the icy vacuum of space. His brain ran through the possible things that would happen if he were out there unprotected.

First, he thought, my eyeballs would be sucked from their sockets and my innards would explode from the lack of pressure. Then my blood would freeze inside my brain, knocking me unconscious shortly after my lungs would rupture because there isn't any air at all out there. Finally, I'm gonna die...very painfully...

He didn't have long to think about this, as a sudden blast shook the ship, and he felt the fear rise inside him. He just didn't understand how that thing was so strong, stronger than anything ever encountered. Where had it come from? What did it want?

But after a few seconds that no longer mattered, as a huge Ki blast from the monster Shikyo flew towards the vulnerable spacecraft, and hit it with a massive blood-red explosion, a color that matched Shikyo's aura. Seen inside the explosion, as well as the white hot splinters of metal, was a small shining of green light, and in an instant Shikyo became angry. His quarry had somehow escaped; his energy was now far away.

Gohan opened his eyes. The last thing he had seen was a massive red fireball that consumed him, and he figured he was dead. But as he arose into a sitting position, he realized that he was on dirt, and not on the grass of the dead world. Looking down at his body, he realized that he couldn't possibly be dead – his clothes were ripped and there were several burns on his chest and arms, which stung when he moved. A single senzu bean landed on the ground next to him, and without picking it up, Gohan looked above him to see where it had come from. He quickly noticed a tall figure, with fists clenched, and fiery green hair.

"You should be more careful, Gohan," spoke the Kalltorraiya-jin. "That monster is deadly. Now eat that and stay out of my way!"

With a flash of light, Yonk blasted out of the planet's atmosphere, headed for his first fight with the monster that he had nearly killed the young Saiya-jin. Gohan watched him go; eating the senzu and feeling his wounds disappear as he sensed the energy signature of one of the most powerful beings in the universe fade in the distance.

"Just where the hell am I, anyway," thought Gohan out loud, looking about the dusty ground of the unknown, and probably uninhabited, planet. "Never mind that," he continued, "how am I gonna get home?"

- - -

Yonk felt his power rise in anger at the monster in front of him. He looked it right in the eyes, or what counted as eyes; in appearance they were only imposing white orbs that insinuated death and destruction. He couldn't figure out what was happening, and why that dammed thing was absorbing his punches and throwing them back with ten times the force each time. He spiked his Ki more, and his aura grew, his calm starting to break apart, and he flew back at the monster as fast as he could, throwing a kick at its head, which it absorbed like nothing, and quickly delivered one right back at the Kalltorraiya-jin, even more powerful than the last one, knocking him back into an asteroid, shattering it into small rocks.

I just don't get it, Yonk though, wary of his fading power, what makes him keep getting stronger with each blow?

He gathered some energy in his palm and shot it towards the beast, the beast that had called itself Shikyo. He stood still, allowing the blast to hit him square in the chest, with a large explosion, before he smiled, charging an equally sized ball of energy and shooting it towards Yonk, after which it was deflected aside, flying away somewhere, where it might hit some planet and reduce it to dust. Yonk could only hope ruefully that it wouldn't be the one that Gohan was on. He looked back at his foe, suddenly having a hypothesis, and he decided to test it in the only way he thought possible.

"Come on, try that one again you piece of shit!" Yonk yelled, blasting at Shikyo again.

The monster repeated the actions, allowing the energy to hit him and then shooting another blast right back toward Yonk. When it was close enough, he hit it aside, off into space, crying out at the sudden pain shooting up his arm. He looked down at it to see blood flowing neatly from several burnt gashes on his hand, the blood floating out and drying quickly into balls of coagulated blood in the zero gravity environment. He sealed the wounds with Ki and thought about what had just happened, wondering at it, unable to unravel the painful truth of the monster's secret power.

Without warning, Shikyo shot toward Yonk, hitting the Kalltorraiya-jin square in the stomach with a fist before hitting him aside. Yonk recovered quickly, spinning back into a stance and restarting the fight with Shikyo, but it was different this time. With every blow exchanged it became horrifyingly clear that the monster's power was many times stronger than before. Yonk dodged a punch, before getting nailed in the jaw with a fist; it hurt. He struck back several more times, throwing another energy blast at Shikyo, and then getting punched again, which hurt even more. Yonk was pummeled and then thrown back into another chunk of space rock, nearly losing the SKJ transformation.

No, I can't do that, he thought, thinking about powering down.

He knew that the only thing keeping him alive in space was the super Kalltorraiya-jin transformation, which gave him the bizarre ability to survive in a vacuum. Without it, he would be as vulnerable as anyone else, and would die quickly in the cold depths of space, just as Gohan would have, had he not conveniently saved him.

Then, in a flash of inspiration, he figured it out. All the puzzle pieces came together at once. At first, he and Shikyo had been about even in power, then after the first attempt to destroy him with a Kamehameha had almost worked, the monster regenerated and was stronger than before. His energy blasts became stronger yet, but only right after Yonk's Ki balls had hit him. And then just now, his punches were hurting much worse, doing much more damage, and not with each consecutive blow. But only after he had blasted him!

That bakayaro is getting stronger off of my energy! Yonk realized with a start, his eyes barely noticing Shikyo heading back for him.

Deciding against his norm that retreat might be the best option for the moment, at least until he could find the other strong fighters, he touched two fingers to his head and vanished a millisecond before Shikyo's punch could thrust through him.

- - -

Gohan sat dejectedly on a rock, sick of searching about the planet for some sign of civilization or even a bug or a tree, convinced the planet was lifeless. He kicked a rock lying by his torn boot, and looked up at the grayish-blue sky, sincerely hoping that Yonk wasn't just going to leave him there.

"One of these days, I'm gonna learn that neglecting my training is a bad idea," he said to himself, or to the dusty ground.

You would think, that after not training for seven years and getting the SHIT kicked out of him by Buu, even weaker than he was when he fought Cell, he would have learned his lesson, but it wasn't like that. Instead, he fought for an education, and the affections of Videl, who was at least training somewhat. Hell, if Trunks and Goten powered up to their SSJ2 levels and took him on together, they would be more than a match for him.

"Shimatta, beaten up by my own little brother. How's that for pathetic?" Gohan said, looking back at his feet.

He suddenly felt something and looked up to see the horizon burst into flame, the ground shaking, and he realized that the planet was coming apart. A sheet of red energy swept across the ground, heading right for him and he raised his arm in a futile gesture to try to protect himself. That same arm was suddenly grabbed and Gohan felt himself tugged into another dimension a split second before the ground exploded under his feet. He watched a flurry of colors spiral about him, and next to him the familiar shape of Yonk, right before he breathed in the air of his home planet. He realized that his eyes were closed right before he felt a tug on the pant leg of his Gi before he heard a voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Niichan, what happened to you?" Goten asked him, confused.

Gohan had barely enough time to realize that he was in Capsule Corporation, and safe at last, before he fainted dead away from the stress, hitting the ground in front of Trunks, nearly right on top of the boy.

"Whoa," Trunks said, jumping backwards just as Goku rushed in.

The tall Saiya-jin man ran up to check his oldest son, looking up knowingly towards the young Kalltorraiya-jin, realizing he was the reason that Gohan was still alive.

"What happened here?" demanded Vegeta as he, too, joined the small group of people in the largest kitchen.

He had just gone there for a small snack before going back to training, and had instead found his son, his rival, his rival's son, and that dammed Kalltorraiya-jin, probably more powerful than Kakarotto himself, all standing around Gohan, who was knocked out on the floor in the middle of them all. He looked back at Yonk, realizing suddenly that he had been in a fight, his Gi ripped and burnt from energy, and several wounds on his body. Judging from the severity of the wounds, the Saiya-jin prince reasoned that it must have been one hell of a fight, and sensed that whatever he had been fighting was still alive.

What kind of creature could do such damage to so powerful a boy? thought Vegeta briefly, the tiniest smidgen of fear creeping into his thoughts before being forced away easily by his pride.

"I'm not sure, Vegeta, but he's one tough guy, that's for sure," Yonk said unexpectedly, and Vegeta swore under his breath at it.

Damn his Kalltorran half, always reading my fucking mind! he thought.

Gohan suddenly sat upand looked around him, sensing the six pairs or eyes bearing down on him and turning the slightest shade of red from embarrassment. He quickly stood up and brushed the dust off his Gi before looking back at Yonk, searching for answers.

"We all need to fight if we are going to have a chance at beating him," Yonk said aloud, facing the window.

"You got the stuffing beat outta you and didn't come close to putting a scratch on that Shikyo thing," Gohan yelled, throwing his hands in the air in frustration. "Don't you see that there IS no chance?!"

Goten got a little scared at this, and pulled himself closer to Trunks, while the older boy wrapped his arms around him and shushed him. Yonk turned to see the chibis cuddling together, trying to stave off the fear they felt, and the slightest warmth crept back into his heart after so long having been locked up inside. He pushed those feelings away, though, and to the amazement of the Z-Senshi, vanished in a flash of light, off somewhere alone.

The confused fighters looked about, shocked, and then separated to do what they always did, with thoughts of Shikyo and the danger to their lives put in the back of their minds for now, if only because he wasn't there yet. Goku joined Vegeta at the fridge, to get some food, while Gohan went to find a new Gi to replace his current half burnt, half torn one. Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten snuck up alone to Trunks' room to play about until they got more news on what it was that had beaten Gohan and Yonk up so badly.

"You really should rest, or at least eat some senzu, you know," said the blue-haired scientist and mother of Trunks as she typed on the computer with one hand and flipped through some notes with the other, her concern for Yonk showing through her demeanor.

"Arigato, Bulma-san, but I am gonna be just fine for now. I just want to know if you can do it," he said back to her.

"Well," she responded with a slight hesitation, "the last Room of Spirit and Time was destroyed a long time ago, plus it was made by magic and not science. But I suppose if I cross-linked a gravity generator with the split-stream coil from that old time machine prototype and looped the energy board to the ion stream converter of a power source...it might be possible without compromising the space-time continuum."

Yonk allowed a few moments to try and figure out just what the hell the scientist had been talking about, before deciding it was best not to ask.

"Please try," he said, "we need it soon."

"I'll do everything I can," she replied, bringing a few old diagrams up on the computer while the Kalltorraiya-jin boy walked off in silence.

He went out to the spacious backyard, listening to the soft sound of Trunks and Goten's laughter floating by from the upstairs window.

So, he thought, looking out towards the sunset, Bebidi wasn't kidding when he said that we were in for a shock from his newest creation of evil evilness. Not only is he strong, he gets stronger with every energy attack.

He looked up to the sky, where the stars were just starting to appear, wondering how long it would take Bulma to create a new Room of Spirit and Time for them to train in, and then how long it would take Shikyo to find Earth and destroy it with his mammoth power.

He could only hope that they would be ready when the time came.
