Chapter 7: mysterious power

Goku appeared inside the gravity room and sure enough there was Zara. She was floating a couple of feat of the ground with her eyes closed and her aura burning calmly around her as she meditated.

"Zara? I need your help." Goku said, unsure if she could even hear him. She did not say anything and her aura burst outwards. Goku frowned and quickly walked up to her.

"Zara!" he said louder this time as he placed a hand on her shoulder. A couple of sparks of electricity flowed down her then she opened her eyes and gazed at him.

"You want me to take you into a dream?" she asked. Goku looked slightly surprised then nodded. Zara frowned and looked to the side.

"Emily…shouldn't be too hard. As long as we can get close enough." Zara muttered then looked at Goku. "She really is strong. I thought I had lost my touch earlier today when I sensed her." She added. Goku rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yea, she's really strong but we don't have time for this! She's kinda ripping apart her house." He said. Zara jumped down and stared at him.

"I know. I better get over there fast." She said and went to teleport to where she could sense Emily but Goku stopped her.

"I'm going to." He said. Zara stared at him.

"But Goku, this is a psi thing. You'll need the right training to fight properly in there or see through his tricks." Zara said.

"It's Emily I'm worried about, not me. Besides, you won't be able to calm her down enough to stop powering up." He pointed out. Zara stared at him then smiled.

"Ten years and you haven't changed a bit. Fine then, I'll take you in. Just lead the way." she said. Goku nodded and held her arm as he used his instant translocation technique.

They appeared in Emily's room and Mirai Trunks jumped up.

"Goku! What did mum say? And who's this?" he asked having not met Zara yet. She starred at him as well. Goku quickly explained why Zara was there then turned to him.

"So what do we do?" he asked. Zara shifted her gaze to him then looked back at Trunks.

"He leaves." She said.

"What?" Trunks asked. Zara folded her arms across her chest.

"I dunno what's going to happen. We might end up powering up a lot or something and I don't want you panicking and trying to break the link. You doing that could kill us all. And that won't help anyone, now will it?" she said. Trunks frowned and looked at Goku.

"She's the expert, not me." Goku said and Trunks sighed in defeat and left to check on the kids.

Zara turned to Goku.

"Shall we begin?"

"Yea, what do I do?"

"Sit there and hold my hand." She said as she pointed to a chair that floated from the corner to the side of the bed. Goku did as he was told and Zara sat on the edge of the bed.

"OK, let's see just how strong a barrier we're dealing with here…" she muttered as she put a finger on the side of Emily's head. Zara's aura flared out as she concentrated.

"Close your eyes and concentrate on Emily." Zara quickly ordered. Goku did so and found himself into darkness with Zara further up ahead with her hand against something.

"What are you-"

"Shh!" Zara interrupted. Goku frowned and watched as Zara powered up and he watched as she fired an invisable blast at what ever was in front of her. Then the next thing he knew Goku was in a robin egg blue room watching a pale man beat a child.

"Well that barrier wasn't too difficult". Zara muttered then looked at the pale man. "Think you can handle him?"

"Of course, no problem." Goku answered then flew forward, punching the man hard across the jaw. Zara grinned then put on a serious face as she stared round the room and powered up. Where are you? She thought then fired a sphere of invisible energy round the room. Goku stared at Zara and the child slowly got up from her place on the floor.

"Dad? Zara? What are you guys doing here?" she asked. Goku stared down at her surprised.

"Emily?"

"Yea it's me…" Emily said sadly and stared at her chibi hand.

Zara ignored them both and fired another sphere but this time it hit something. A grey creature with a large head and stick thin body flew into the wall. Goku looked surprised.

"What is that thing?"

"That is what's been causing all this mess!" Zara said triumphantly then raised her palm at it.

"Who are you?"

"What's the matter? Can't read my mind?" it asked with an evil smirk. Zara frowned and charged a ki-blast.

"Just answer the question."

"Don't think I will. In fact I think I better dispose of all of you. You were foolish to come here!" it said then turned to Aletusis. "You'll do." It mumbled and Aletusis suddenly bent other in pain as a tail shot out from the base of his spine. When he looked up it was no longer Aletusis but Frieza instead.

"Hello monkey. Surprised?" he said. Goku glared.

"Frieza." He muttered then powered up to his super saiyan form. The grey creature laughed.

"You think that'll be enough? I control everything here! Including how strong your friend gets!" it cried. Frieza smirked and powered up and charged at Goku. Goku braced himself for an attack but he wasn't prepared for how strong Frieza hit. Goku was thrown through the entire building with Frieza following him.

The grey creature stared at Zara.

"Do you want a play mate as well?" it asked. Zara frowned at it.

"No, you'll do fine!" she said before powering up and lunging at the creature who was somehow fast enough to dodge her every move.

This isn't right…according to what I'm sensing from this guy I should be way faster…unless that's not all of it…she thought. The man smiled.

"What's wrong? Little Zar-zar can't hit me? Aw…" it said. Zara frowned and flared her aura out more and phased out of sight, then appeared next to him and swung her leg round in a kick in a motion too fast to see. The creature easily blocked it and laughed.

Emily stared at Zara then looked through the hole in the wall at Goku who had his hands full with Frieza. Goku had gone into his super three form and was close to going to the next level but for some reason Frieza was easily keeping up.

Emily frowned as she looked at both fights.

"Grr…wish I could help them but in this form I'm useless." Emily muttered.

"Emily! This is your dream! You have some control over what happens! Just concentrate!" Zara yelled as she sent energy to her right leg, creating a sphere of energy around her foot and then started moving even faster then before, kicking the creature faster then it could block and with far more force then she usually would have. She powered up more and flared her aura and the energy around her foot got slightly brighter as she continued her attack but this time her kicks sliced right through the creature.

Emily watched Zara jump back but all the pieces of the creature came together again just to make it cockier then before.

"Right…concentrate." Emily mumbled as she closed her eyes, her face contorting in concentration. Soon she started glowing and she grew into her adult form. Emily opened her eyes and looked at her self.

"Great! I'm back!" she cried then looked over at her father's fight. "Now to help." She said before flying towards them and kicking Frieza away from Goku. The two warriors grinned at each other then faced Frieza, both brining their hands to their side.

"Ka…me…ha…me…haa!" they both yelled together and fired the waves at Frieza, both of them blowing him back to whence he came.

"Come on dad, we need to help Zara! She's got her hands full." Emily said and they both flew back to the other fight.

Zara was panting as she stared at the ugly face of the grey creature.

"What's the matter? Getting warn out already? Don't tell me that 'sword kick' attack takes that much energy from you." The creature was saying. Zara smirked.

"No way. And don't even flatter yourself by saying you've worn me down either." She said. The creature laughed.

"Oh that's rich. Well if you're not worn down then you deserve to see something. Not that many people have achieved what you have. I've never seen someone break one of my holds before." The creature said Zara smirked.

"That was the easy part."

"Bet it was for you. Well I'm going to give you a little treat. You get to see how your friends die." The creature said. Zara frowned and the creature drew a large square in the air with his finger that became a type of hovering TV screen. An image flickered on it for Zara to see. It was Goten in super saiyan three mode pushing back a large orb of energy. His face was tight with concentration as his feet dug into the roof.

Zara growled as she watched.

"Why are you showing me this?" She asked but the creature simply hushed her and pointed to the screen. Zara looked back at it and watched as a small beam of energy sailed over Goten's right shoulder and hit the blast, causing it to explode. When all the dust and smoke had settled there was nothing left.

Zara's eyes went wide.

"Goten!" she yelled, her aura flared out more violently as she clenched her fists.

"Wait, there's more!" the creature said and pointed to the screen. This time it showed Trunks strapped to the table with a beam of energy slowly moving closer to him. Zara growled.

"Stop it!" she said through clenched teeth but the creature just laughed as the screen showed the beam ripping through the young prince, his scream making something snap within Zara.

Zara's eyes went a blood red colour as she watched, her pupils narrowing into slits. Her aura burst outwards and knocked the creature backwards and started raising parts of the building and burning other parts away.

Emily couldn't believe her eyes when she arrived.

"Whoa…her power has accelerated so much! On the saiyan power scale it was the same as a level two saiyan but now it's..."

"…Catching up to you?" Goku put forward. Emily nodded and watched Zara give the creature a cold stare.

"You'll pay for what you did to him." She said. The creature backed up and stared wide eyed. Then laughed.

"Now I get it! I know who you are! That explains why he was in your dream! You're the child!" it laughed. Zara glared and then her hand was at its throat.

"I'd shut up if I was you." She said as she glared, her red eyes flashing dangerously. The creature just laughed.

"You still don't stand a chance, do you know that?" it asked. Zara let go and floated back, getting into a stance.

"You're the one that doesn't stand a chance." She said. The creature simply laughed again.

"We'll see." It said before crouching down and clenching his fists. It started to laugh as it powered up. Soon the laughter turned into a scream as it's body size doubled and it's muscles widened.

The other's eyes widened as they felt the power he was giving off.

"My kami, we don't stand a chance!" Emily said and glanced at Goku who looked more thoughtful. He was staring at Zara.

"Fusion." He mumbled. Zara quickly snapped her head round to look at him, as did Emily.

"What?" Emily asked and Goku turned to her smiling.

"You and Zara are about the same height and have about the same power level at the moment! You can fuse!" he said. Zara frowned over what he was suggesting.

"Fusion? No way! You can fuse with her but I do not want to do that pose!" Zara said. Goku frowned.

"Zara, I can't fuse with her, I'm too tall but you two are perfect! And it might be all we need to beat him and release the others!" Goku frowned. Zara frowned then teleported over to them.

"You sure there's no other way?" she asked. Goku shook his head and looked up at the creature that was staring at them all.

"You girls can do it. You know the dance, Zar, you watched me teach the boys and even saw them do it!"

Zara sighed and glanced at Emily.

"Ok, but just this once." She said, stepping away from Emily and waiting for her to power up to full.

"Alright, thanks Zar!" Goku said before getting in between the girls and the creature. Zara frowned and got into the starting pose, as did Emily when she was even to Zara.

"You ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. Lets go." Zara said and they both started the dance.

"Fu….sion…ha!" a blinding light went up around them as soon as they finished and as soon as it died down a lone woman was standing there with her head down and her arms across her chest. She had brown hair with two blonde streaks, one on either side of her head that ran down the length of her long ponytail and ended in a curl just short of the bottom. She had several blonde strands that went down her face. She wore a similar outfit to the other fusions only instead of the waistcoat she had a dark blue tank top.

"So Mr grey and ugly, you ready to lose?" she asked as she raised her head, revealing her blue eyes that had golden specks across them.
