Good is in the dictionary only to introduce the essence of evil

A Cold Place Ch 18: Arrival

The whole universe was sitting front row for the largest fight ever seen. The energy that father and son was producing had not only lit up the sky, but had also made the earth look like a second sun. Planets far and wide were blinded by its intensity.

However, the feeling belonged only to the two fighters, Goku and Gohan. As the energy rushed from them and uncondensed, they each felt the pain that the struggle had on then. With Gohan's intense power, it would seem that he should win hands down, but that was not the case. Goku was pouring every ounce of his energy into the wave, also, he was feeding another technique into it.

Goku called out to the earth, asking it to give him the energy to beat his son. The regular spirit bomb. What was strange about it was that he was not forming a ball overhead like he always did, but he was letting it flow raw through his kamehameha wave. It was very dangerous to do, but it was something Goku had to do if he had a chance to win.

Vegeta smirked as he watched Goku's face twist in pain. He turned to Radditz, "I bet you a hundred zenny that Gohan destroys him in less than five minutes."

Radditz nodded, "I bet you ten minutes."

Aurora walked up to Vegeta, "I bet you that Goku's wave backfires and sucks out most of his energy, leaving him and his comrades to escape."

Vegeta smirked, thinking that Gohan would never allow that to happen, "Okay, what's the wager?"

Aurora grinned evilly, "If I win, me and my mate get your earth woman for a single night. If I lose, I give you and your mate myself for one night."

Vegeta cackled, "Now you know how to make a bet!"

Aurora laughed to herself. Either way, she would get some of that earth woman.

Future Gohan's Timeline

Future Gohan had woken up a few hours ago in his own time. The first thing he did was go up to Kami's Lookout. From there he went to a room that he had seen in the past timeline that Goku had used to talk to Broly. Surely enough, the room was still intact and he hear the whispers from Otherworld.

"GOKU SON!"

After he had yelled, there was a silence. For minutes on end he waited until he heard a response.

"Hello? Who is this?" Goku had asked.

Gohan smiled, "Hello, father. It's me, Gohan."

There was a dull silence for a few moments before Goku had answered, "Hey, Gohan. What did you want?"

"Well, I found a way to bring you back. Are you interested?" Gohan had asked.

"No, Gohan. I don't believe I can. Things are pretty interesting up here."

"Oh."

"Well, son. I have to go. Me and Vegeta are heading up to a tournament. We'll take to you soon." Goku's voice slowly faded away .

For a long moment, all Gohan could do was just stand there in silence. His hands trembled as he used all of his will power to concentrate on a single section on the wall. He soon fell to his knees, crying, "I HATE YOU, FATHER!"

Present Time

Ten Minutes after the bet

Goku and Gohan were still at it after all that time. Each were still straining to keep on their feet. Though one thing was certain. Goku was in way more pain than his son. Nonetheless, he pulled back his arms and thrust them out further, "HA!"

It was over before he knew it. Goku's blast went out of control an spiraled back towards himself. First, the wave reared backward and caught him in the chest. Then, burning his flesh, he was thrown into the ground. His bones were crushed, but was still alive when the blast subsided. His face was bloody and there was no chance of him getting up for the fight. Goku, earth's veteran hero, had been defeated.

Aurora smirked, "I won. Your mate is mine, Vegeta."

Vegeta shook his head, "It didn't steal his power. It just utterly defeated him. We both tie. So, what do we do now?"

Aurora smirked, "Well, You and your mate get me the first night, then we get her the next."

They both nodded and Radditz looked at them like they lost their damn minds, "Horny idiots."

Gohan floated down to the broken body of Goku. He searched his father until he had found what he was looking for. Grabbing his father's senzu beans, he ate one and put one into his father's mouth. Moments later, Gohan was back in top shape and so was Goku. Gohan glared at his father.

Goku frowned, "Why did you save me? I thought you hated me."

Gohan smirked, "You thought right, for once. I hate every living fiber of you. However, there are a thousand saiyans here now that are trying to destroy this planet. In fact, they should be landing in about ten minutes. Get the fighters here that are your responsibility out of my team's way. You're not needed anymore.

Gohan began to fly away when Goku yelled, "What about my senzu beans?"

"They're mine now," was all Gohan said.

Trunks was having a hard time. He already had three broken ribs and a broken leg. All that Future Trunks had was some sprains, a bloody nose, and a busted lip. It seemed that this wasn't going to last much longer. Trunks pulled his fist back and thrusted it towards Future Trunks.

At fist, the punch didn't look like it was going to land, but Trunks' saiyan rage kicked in at the last moment, enhancing his strength and his speed. The punch hit him in the face, and cracked his jaw before the fist even touched.

Future Trunks was sent deep into the earth, almost reaching the mantle. The tables were turning very fast. Yet, Future Trunks would not give up. He deserved this. He was the better Trunks. He had to show Vegeta that he was the better son. He deserved it. He had been through so much. In his real timeline, all was gone. All the warriors were dead. Killed by the androids. The earth was in it's last stage. Soon, even the planet would be no more. All that he had left was his mother, who was sick and dying in her death bed. He deserved more. That same sentence kept going though his mind. He has been there for both sets of androids. He came back and killed Frieza. He stood up against Cell when no one else could at the time. He was killed, and came back. He went back to his timeline and killed the two androids that plagued the earth. Hell, he even killed Cell, the one from his timeline anyway. There, he was the last saiyan left. This little kid had nothing. Is nothing. He joined the evil side the minute he had seen Gohan. Though they may not seem evil, Gohan was not on Goku's team. So they must be the bad guys. Goku was pure. He was the essence of good. And Gohan wanted no part of that. So Gohan was evil. No doubt about it. Sure, Goku's family wasn't the best. They had their problems. But what family hasn't? There are so many families that have been so much worse. Gohan had no right to leave. However, he did. That was what made him evil. When Trunks had joined Gohan, that made him evil, too. The younger version of himself had no right to be the son of Vegeta. He, himself, was the only one who should stand at Vegeta's side. Sure, this Vegeta was not the same one that he had. His Vegeta was cold hearted. He didn't care for anyone. This Vegeta had room in his heart for his family. That was what he wanted. He had to win this. He deserved it.

Future Trunks flew out of the hole only to be hit in the face with a ki blast. Though it didn't hurt him, it did shock him. And he did not like to be shocked, "Alright you little brat. Here is how it goes. I know that you aren't in your strongest form. Get to your strongest so we can finish this once and for all."

Trunks merely smirked and transformed into his mystic form, which he was able to do since he had received Elder Kai's training. Future Trunks laughed because he thought that Trunks had no power left. However, he didn't laugh when Trunks phased out of sight, then reappeared when he felt several small punches hit him in the arms, face , and stomach. This couldn't be happening was the thought that went through Future Trunks' head.

Supreme Kai's Planet

Elder Kai clicked his boots together with glee. This was the most interesting fight that he had ever seen as watcher of the universe. People these days were just always too much talk. But not this, this was the most awesome fight in all history. Future against present. This was incredible.

Earth

Peppertown

Crowds were all around the same block that held the giant television screen. The program that was on beheld the fight between the devils and angels. They were urging on the elder of the two fighters. Not by name, of course, but as the guy who died once in the Cell Games. In these two, they figured his to be the devil, though. His face was cold and evil. The look in his eyes were of pure hatred towards the other fighter. No angel was capable of the. He was going to lose. They already knew that. He was evil. And good always beat evil. That was how it was. No exceptions. That did not apply here though. They were saiyans. That balance never applied to them. All that mattered in a fight between saiyans was that if you were smarter and stronger, then you were going to be the winner. Plus, Future Trunks was a lot older than his younger self. He had more experience. That was his edge.

Vegeta, Radditz, Aurora, and Goten were still watching this fight. It was just too good. The three adult were still making their naughty bets when Goten came into the picture.

"Hey, guys," Goten said, "I want to make a bet in this. One like yours."

Aurora looked down at him and giggled, " I think you're too young. Me and you will make bets when you're older."

Goten growled, "No, I'll make you a bet right now. I bet that Trunks will be him, but become exhausted by the end. If I win, then you teach me everything about sex in twp years. That also includes demonstrations."

Aurora sweat dropped, as well as the other adults. Radditz was going to beat his little nephew up one day. He just knew it. Though, he did smirk to himself, know that his nephew was indeed a saiyan at heart.

Aurora was the one to start talking, " Okay, if that's how you want it. If you lose, then you have to videotape every sex experience that I have fort the next year,"

Aurora put out her hand, and Goten took it gratefully. Their bets were weird, but not weird enough for a saiyan. Their bets were always sexual. But also secret. Gohan must never find out about this.

Future Trunks stopped in mid air, " Okay, time to stop this. This is the deal. Just like Goku and Gohan. One last blast, winner takes all. Okay?"

Trunks smirked, "Okay, on the count of three. One, two, three! Alpha Omega ion splitter!"

"Buster Cannon!"

The two blasts collided just like Gohan and Goku's, but it moved along much faster. Due to the mystic form, Trunks was able to put more power in, and Future Trunks was swallowed by Trunks' blast. It was over. With no power left, Trunks slowly descended and landed on his butt. Goten, who was laughing gleefully, sat beside him, as dis a scowling Radditz, a happy Vegeta, and a bummed Aurora. They all patted Trunks on the shoulder and awaited for Gohan's return.

They didn't have to wait long before Gohan made it back in mint condition. Soon, they were all in the same health as him. Then, they disappeared just as the saiyan ship landed. It was time for them to prepare their strategy. Goku and the other can hold them off for a little while. They left the bag of senzu on the ground for Goku to give to the others.

Saiyan Ship

Royal chambers

"Master, we have arrived. What course of action shall we take?" asked the royal advisor.

The leader smirked in the shadows, " Send all fleets out to destroy. There are power readings indicating very strong beings here. Seek and destroy. Most of the readings indicate saiyans, play a few earthlings. Though they are powerful, they will not be enough to defeat our troops. The strongest have already disappeared, so take caution out there. Godspeed and move fast."

"Yes, sire."

Goku had already found the senzu beans and handed them out to his remaining teammates. They now sat there waiting for the war to begin. Goku didn't know much about them, but he heard Gohan when he said that they were saiyans. And by their power levels, there were hundreds, and they were all super saiyans. Weather they liked it or not, the war was starting. Their best warriors were Goku and Broly. This was going to be hell.

The doors opened and a blinding light pored out, which could only be super saiyans. All of mankind was at risk.

End Chapter

Next Chapter: An Endless Sea of Gold

A/N: Okay, I know that it isn't long, but I can explain. I promised you a long chapter. And my usual chapters are like 12 or 13 pags long. This one shows 10 pages. Now I promised that I would make it long and I originally did. The first time I wrote it, it was 37 pages long, then my computer shut down with the only save spot at page 3. Then I got mad. Eventually, I made another one 17 pages long, but once again, power gave out, and I was stuck at page three. So, this one I made short cause I'm tired. Sorry.
