Part 3
Omega Shen Long decided to test this strange, by creating an energy barrier that could flatten the girl.
"I will destroy you!" yelled the evil Dragonball, as he increased his power.
Vegeta, the Saiyajin Prince smirked.
"He doesn't know what he's about to get himself into!" Vegeta said, as his mind takes him back to when he witnessed that insufferable female's tenacity first hand…
FLASHBACK!
With everyone on board Thumper the Cabbit's ship form, preparations were to be made. While Goku, Gohan, Krillan and Piccolo trained, Bulma and Usagi worked on various projects and formulated various plans. Thumper was easily the fastest thing in space, so getting to Namek would not be a problem. However, thanks to the technology "acquired" from the Sayajin invaders, there was a good possibility that trouble would soon be upon them.
"You think we'll get out of this, Usagi?" asked Bulma.
"Sure. The question is 'how'," Usagi replied, as she made adjustments on a few gadgets. "Now remember, once we get to Namek, Piccolo will ask the natives about the Dragonballs."
"You're sure about that? I mean, he's not exactly 'Mr. Congeniality', you know."
"I know, which is why we go to our back-up plan."
"Which is-?"
"You and Gohan will track the Dragonballs, while the rest of us deal in damage control. Hopefully, we won't have any problems with either plans."
Unfortunately, they did have a problem.
"So, little Vegeta has turned 'renegade'?" asked Freeza. While short in stature, this being exuded power incarnate.
"Yes, my lord," said Zarbon, Freeza's handsome right-hand man. "However, we can still obtain what he is looking for."
"Ah yes, these 'Dragonballs'. Once I have them, I will be immortal!"
"Of course, Lord Freeza."
Thumper makes it to Namek before anyone else, though not without a few hitches. Usagi, being more experienced in space, easily avoided a few not-so friendly aliens. Nevertheless, the Z Warriors were glad to have made it to Namek before anyone else. And, with Piccolo's help, they track down Guru, the chief Namek. Of course, that didn't go according to plan.
"You got a lot of nerve showing up here," said Nail angrily. It was no secret that Piccolo's previous incarnation and Nail had been rivals in the past.
"I'm not here to fight you…but if a fight you want to have…"
"Piccolo, please," Goku admonished. "As much as I enjoy a good fight, we don't have time for this."
"He's right," said Usagi. "Sir, we need access to your Dragonballs so that we can bring back our friends. And, we believe dark forces are on their way to retrieve them for their own nefarious selves."
"I see," said Guru. "Come, child."
Tentatively, Usagi stepped forward.
"Let me have a look at you."
With Usagi stepping forward, Guru touched her temples. This almost reminded Usagi of a Vulcan mind meld.
Suddenly, Usagi's awareness spiked. Everything around her was a lot more focused.
"There," Guru said. "You are more balanced than ever before. And I believe you."
"Wow, thank you sir," Usagi said. I wonder what he meant by being more "balanced"…
After Guru awakened everyone's potential, he sent his apprentice Dende to assist Bulma and Gohan in their search for the Namekian Dragonballs. The rest of the Z Warriors prepared themselves for the arrival of Vegeta…and Freeza.
First, there was Vegeta, though it wasn't the Z Warriors he had to worry about…
"Arrgh!" the Sayajin Prince yelled, as Zarbon pummeled him into submission. Zarbon's "monster form" was bigger and meaner.
"Little man, I don't think you figured out your limitations yet," Zarbon mocked.
WHISH!
"What the-?" Zarbon began, as something fast was about to ram him…
BLAM!
Zarbon went through several mountains before stopping. Vegeta looked up.
"Who-?"
"Come with me if you want to live," Usagi said, as she lent an out-stretched hand. While the other Z Fighters were dealing with the mercenary Ginyu Force, who had just arrived on Namek with Freeza, Usagi was searching for the Sayajin Prince. Ever since Vegeta fought the Z Warriors, Usagi felt something odd about him. It was after taking a peek in his future that she knew that Vegeta would become important in her life, as well as the lives of others. "Well?"
"I don't need YOUR help, woman!" Vegeta snapped.
"Suit yourself. But here, catch."
Vegeta caught a bean.
"What's THIS?"
"It's a senzu bean. Eat it, and you'll be healed up."
"Yeah, right!"
"Suit yourself. But I got to go."
"Where are you going?"
"How dare you!" yelled Zarbon, as he rushed forward.
"That's where. Be seeing you!" Usagi said, as she rushed towards Zarbon, eyes blazing green.
BOOM!
What Garu did to Usagi was simple. Usagi can no longer "Hulk-out", but she can still access that level of power. In other words, Usagi can increase her strength, with the ability to lift up to 60 tons from a baseline of 2 tons. But, she's not quite there yet. At any rate, thanks to Guru, she was definitely taller, stronger and physically "toned".
"You will pay for your insolence, witch!" Zarbon yelled.
Usagi performed a "See Aura" psychic scan on Zarbon.
Let's see, Usagi thought to herself. Strength and skill are within my range. Threat level: minimal. Conclusion: it's kick butt time!
"YAAAAAAAA!" Zarbon roared as he swung his punches.
Usagi blocked and parried his blows, while delivering some blows of her own.
SNAP! CRACKLE! POP!
The art of Jeet Kune Do allowed Usagi to flow with her opponent's actions. Why block, parry and strike as separate moves, when you can accomplish the same thing in one action? In this case, Usagi broke Zarbon's arm, twisted it and removed it from the shoulder joint, thus turning his arm into a dangling piece of flesh.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Zarbon yelled, while cradling his now useless arm.
Knowing that her enemy will regenerate quickly, Usagi quickly used her middle and index fingers together to poke into various points of Zarbon's body. Soon enough, Zarbon regenerated his body.
"YOU…ARE…DEAD!" Zarbon yelled.
"Huh, you FIRST," Usagi replied.
While performing the "See Aura" reading, Usagi was examining Zarbon's chi lines, determining how he regulated his body's energy. The Hakuto no Ken specialized in manipulated pressure points, but it was not always applicable for different species of creatures. The less human, the more useless these techniques become. However, what Usagi used was a modification of sorts. Instead of focusing on the pressure points of the body, Usagi focused on the how the chi lines flowed. What she did was attack the junction points of Zarbon's chi lines. The results?
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop-!
"What's happening to me?" Zarbon cried, as his body began to boil from within.
"I just created a feedback loop within your body. Have a nice AFTER-life…"
POP!
Zarbon's body exploded into a fine mess. Even Vegeta was stunned.
"Un…unbelievable!" Vegeta exclaimed. While the Sayajin Prince was ruthless, it was the ruthlessness of Usagi that stunned even HIM.
"I got to go. Sorry about the mess. 'Bye!"
And off Usagi goes.
On one hand, Vegeta was stunned. On the other hand…
"I…I think I'm in LOVE!"
Vegeta may have found the perfect mate.
Later…
"And now, we are here," Piccolo says, as he and his allies stand before Freeza. He looks over to Usagi for support. Even though he and Nail were forced to merge to protect the rest of the Namekans, it wasn't enough to protect all them. Thankfully Usagi came back in time to throw her Dragon Slave at Freeza.
"Hey, you must be Freeza! Here's a present for ya!" Usagi said, as she opened her palm to reveal a small red sphere. Then, she tossed the ball at Freeza, and the formed her Armor of Thoth around the Namekan compund.
"What-?"
Then, the world went white.
When the smoke cleared, Freeza was on his back in a huge crater, busted up from the blast.
"Usagi, are you okay?" Krillan said, as he came up beyond her.
"I'm fine. See if Piccolo and the others are okay," Usagi replied. Then she checked out her hair. "Darn! I was hoping that it wouldn't go white on me again!"
Usagi didn't want to risk using the full effects of the Dragon Slave. If she does, then she risks releasing the so-called "Lord of Nightmares" who WILL end the universe.
"Fools!" Freeza said as he slowly stood up. "It will take more than that to stop ME."
With that, Freeza began to glow. While the attack warded off Freeza, all it did was force him to evolve into his ultimate form. It was then that Vegeta, now healed from both his fights with Zarbon and the Ginyu Force, decided to take on the alien tyrant.
BLAM!
"Am I suppose to be impressed?" asked Freeza, as he shrugged off the blow.
"You will pay for your crimes against the planet Vegeta!" Vegeta said, as he increased his energy. "I will be the legendary Super Sayajin!"
While Vegeta fought Freeza, Goku comes from the rear, having retrieved his son Gohan, Dende and Bulma. It was a good thing that Bulma figured out that Captian Ginyu was trading bodies after it became apparent that Goku was possessed. Ginyu tried to switch bodies with her, but her personal force field (a device she and Usagi were working on during the trip to Namek) prevented that from happening.
"Guys, we got…the…Dragon-" began Bulma, as she observed the massive level of damage before her. "My goodness!"
"Goku, you're here!" said Krillan.
"Yeah," Goku said, as he observed Freeza. He knew he would have a tough battle ahead of him. Soon enough, he was right. Freeza defeated and humiliated Vegeta. But before he could finish him off, Usagi lanced Freeza hand with a Moon Crescent Beam.
Zap!
"OW!" Freeza said, as he nursed his hand. Then, he turned to the source of the trouble. "What? How dare you, you annoying little creature!"
"Goku, kick this guys arse," Usagi said, as she went over to check on Vegeta. "The rest of you guys get everyone clear."
"But Dad might need me," said Gohan.
"Do what Usagi say," Goku said. Then he turned to his comrades. "Well? Get going!"
"Right!"
"So, you want to fight me? So be it." Freeza said, as the two went at it.
The fight between Freeza and Goku was intense. Each one moved faster than the blink of an eye, and each blow was delivering forces that shock the planet. However, even after increasing his power by a factor of twenty, he still didn't think that it would be enough. So, with no choice in the matter, Goku began to summon a Spirit Bomb. But he needed time to form it. Taking cues from Goku's predicament, Piccolo and Krillan threw several energy blasts at Freeza. Unfortunately, Freeza retaliated by literally breaking these two down. Still, enough time had passed that Goku was able to launch his Spirit Bomb.
"Piccolo! Krillan! Get out of the way!" Goku yelled.
"We're…on it," Krillan yelled, as he helped a now unconscious Piccolo out of the area.
Goku made sure that Usagi and Vegeta was okay.
"Hit the deck!" Goku yelled.
"No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!" yelled Freeza, as he desperately tried to hold the Spirit Bomb at bay.
BOOM!
A few minutes, everyone crawled from where they took cover.
"Goku, you think Freeza's gone?" asked Krillan.
"Maybe," Goku replied. "I don't sense his presence."
"Looks like your plan worked," Piccolo said.
"Vegeta's still out of it," Usagi said, as she sat Vegeta down on a nearby rock. "But he'll be okay-"
ZAP!
"Urk!" Usagi said, as she began to fall forward.
"Usagi? USAGI!" Goku yelled, as he rushed to catch his adopted mother. Quickly he turned her over, and saw the gaping hole in her chest.
"Usagi, speak to me!"
"It feels weird," Usagi said, as her eyes began to glaze over.
"Don't worry, we can make it. Bulma! Get over here!"
"It's okay, Goku. Everyone dies…not everyone truly lives…"
And then, Usagi dies in Goku arms.
"Mother, please! Don't leave me!"
"There's nothing we can do now until we activate the Dragonballs, Goku," Krillan said with assurance.
"See how fragile you creatures are! Ha!"
Everyone turned to see Freeza. He was grinning evily."
Goku stood up, with his rage building.
"You can't get away with this! I won't let you. Yeearrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"
The sky stormed and the planet quaked. His mass bulked up, while his eyes and hair changed colors. Now, with golden, spiky hair and green eyes, Goku turned towards Freeza. Freeza, in turn, stepped back in surprise. He was actually beginning to feel fear.
"Your time is DONE, Freeza!" Goku yelled, as he charged the tyrant.
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! POW!
Each blow connected, causing great pain to Freeza.
"What…what ARE you?" Freeza asked.
"Ally to good…NIGHTMARE to YOU!"
And thus the final battle between hero and villain was on.
Later…
Usagi woke up to find herself outside the Capsule Corporation.
"Usagi, you're okay!" Bulma said, as she hugged her friend.
"What…what happened?" Usagi asked.
"Oh you should have seen it, Usagi," Krillan said.
"Yeah, Dad was awesome!" Gohan interjected.
Then, her friend went into detail how Goku evolved to a new form, called a "Super Sayajin". Then she was told how he defeated Freeza, but couldn't prevent the destruction of Namek.
"Man, that's something," Usagi said, as she rubbed her head.
"You…are awake," Vegeta said, as he looked at the woman who impressed. "I'm…glad."
"So am I. Where's Goku?"
"We don't know," said Krillan.
"Yi-ow," said Thumper sadly, as he hopped on Usagi's lap.
"Is Dad going to be alright?" asked Gohan.
Usagi looked up in the sky.
"Have faith, Gohan. Have faith."
Tbc.
