Tak returned to grim faces. They received a message from something that they had 3 years to train and at the end all the worlds' heroes, including the elderly, will be taken to a proper place to die. The mention of the elderly got Master Roshi into training as well as Tein, Krillin, 18, Yamcha, Videl, Piccolo, Chiaotzu, Pan, Goten, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks, Tak was soon to join in.
The three years came to an end and the message was given. All the chosen fighters saw the image of a cloaked being in their head. He gave them quadrants of a planet where he was. He said they had three days to arrive or that planet would be destroyed followed by earth without a fighting chance.
When the messenger was done, Tak telepathically told everyone that the messenger was linked to that he'll be leaving in an hour from Dende's lookout.
Tak put the quadrants into his ship and realized something he didn't like. The planet was New Namek. About an hour later Goku, Gohan, Goten, Videl, Pan, Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, 18, Yamcha, Tein, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, Master Roshi, Uub and Tak were sitting in Tak's ship ready to go.
"So, Uub, what've you been up to?" asked Goku.
"Deep in meditation. Who is this?" asked Uub pointing to Tak.
"I am Tak, you missed a lot in your meditation," said Tak.
"Why didn't he come with to kill Vitchin?" asked Gohan.
"I didn't know he was still alive, and when he wasn't wished back I thought he must have turned evil," said Tak.
"Who's Vitchin?" asked Uub.
"The guy we had to defeat when we met Tak," said Trunks.
"I really missed out on a lot," said Uub.
The others started filling Uub in on what happened from them being wished back to the messenger's arrival. New Namek was in their sight in two days. The messenger returned with another message.
"Congratulations, you made it here in time. Unfortunately, this planet is unsuitable for fighting so we will be fighting on the planet just past it, I am already there," said the messenger.
When the messenger was gone Goku breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is it dad?" asked Goten.
"I thought he would blow up the planet, I can't imagine losing the nameks after all they did for us," said Goku.
Tak landed and the group filed out. They were on a cliff and there was nothing but level barren lad as far as the eye could see in all directions, the cliff was the only thing that disrupted the plain. There was a lone figure on the ground below so everyone flew over to him, Goku carried Master Roshi. The figure was the messenger that had spoken to them.
"Welcome to the death of heroes," said the messenger.
"Who are you?" asked Goku.
The messenger removed his cloak. He had black boots and green pants. Red gloves up to his elbows and a blue vest over his otherwise bare chest. His eyes were black and his hair was black. He had a tail around his waist but it wasn't the monkey tail of a saiyan or even the tiger tail of a ragin, it was thin and sleek like the saiyan tail but it was reptilian.
"I am Coiths, I am not a saiyan nor ragin, nor am I a combination of the two, or of any races. I am not the first or last of my kind, I was not created in a lab, nor conjured by magic. I was not wished into existence by any dragon, nor was I born from any womb. I am no ancient undying evil, nor a tyrant of the universe. I have no father nor son nor sibling, and I was not spawned off another creature. I have no creator nor destroyer," said the messenger.
"Then what are you?" asked Piccolo.
"Nothing you've ever seen before," said Coiths.
"What, all our opponents are new to us," said Gohan.
"Raditz, Vegeta, Brolli, Roken, Turles, and Nappa were saiyans. The androids, Cell, and Baby were created in a lab. Buu, Evant, and Trenk were conjured by magic. The dragons were wished into existence. Jenemba, Hildegroth, Bojack, and the Collector were ancient undying evils. Frieza, Cooler, and King Cold were all tyrants of the universe. Piccolo and Lord Slug were spawned off of something. Garlic Jr. is someone's son. All your human enemies were born from a womb. Any henchman you faced also fit into one of the categories. And when you refaced your opponents they were wished from a dragon. Vitchin, though I know not his origins, was the last of his kind, but not the first, and had a creator. And, since you defeated and killed them all, they all had destroyers," said Coiths.
"Then what are you?" demanded Vegeta.
"I, am, me," said Coiths.
"Well then, mister, 'I am me', why did you call us here?" asked Gohan.
"To die," said Coiths.
"Your gunna die?" asked Goten.
"Not me, you, all of you," said Coiths.
"Good luck, we've been known as hard to kill," said Trunks.
With that, every fighter threw down their weights, save Tak, who kept his jacket and shirt on, and powered up to max without transforming. Vegeta charged, he punched Coiths dead in the face, he didn't budge. Then the downfall happened, Vegeta went SS1.
Coiths smiled. His hair went on end and yellow like a SS, his eyes stayed black though.
"I said before that I am not a saiyan, and that I was never born. And that I am no ancient undying evil. They are all true statements. I am evil, but not ancient. I was not born but just came into existence one day. But not as a saiyan. And the reason I am not the first or last is because I am of no species. An now, like few heroes before you, I will delight in destroying you," said Coiths.
Vegeta charged again. The two were entangled in a punching duel.
Tak leaned to Goku "his calling all of us can be his downfall."
"How?" asked Goku.
"Soon Vegeta will be hit into the ground, at that time, someone hits Coiths with a full blast Kamehameha. That person gets a senzu and everyone, Vegeta included charges their strongest attack at their full power. They'll all aim straight ahead, and Coiths won't think to move. But then, I'll pin him to the spot he'll be at and at once, everyone's strongest blast will hit him, that should do it," said Tak.
"Don't you think that's overdoing it?" asked Goku.
At that moment Vegeta went SS3 and was having trouble keeping up with Coiths' second stage.
Goku looked back at Tak. "That'll be our last resort."
Tak nodded in response and flew off to ship, he returned soon after with two odd swords. They had two triggers on each handle, but what they were for Goku had no clue. Tak set the swords down and looked at Goku. "Tell me when you're ready."
Vegeta was SS4 and Coiths was in a third form, like a SS2 but he still had black eyes. Vegeta went to hit Coiths in the neck but Coiths grabbed his neck and let out a small blast. Vegeta was hanging limp from his neck in Coiths right hand.
"What are you?" muttered Vegeta.
Coiths smiled. He threw Vegeta back to the others and said, in a voice all could here, "every one thousand years a being is born. And, at around the same time as the beings birth another creature comes into existence. That creature's purpose is to kill the being. Why you may ask? Because the being is the legendary super saiyan. When the legendary super saiyan dies the creature dies as well. None of the creatures are alike in any way because none of the legendary super saiyans are alike."
"Why did you call all of us here then?" asked Piccolo.
"Because, any of the saiyans here can be the legendary super saiyan, and, I've been watching the earth fighters for a long time and I always wanted to be one of your enemies," said Coiths.
"But, each of us saiyans died, wouldn't you have died then?" asked Vegeta.
"No, because all of you saiyans kept your bodies, but if I kill you, you can't, because I am the opposition of the power of the legendary super saiyan, any other I kill could keep their body, but not the legendary one," said Coiths.
"And you have no idea which one of us is the legendary super saiyan?" asked Trunks.
"Right, none of you have achieved it yet, if you have I would know. And it could be one of the former half saiyans because I came into existence when none of you were alive, so I would be fully grown by the birth of the legendary super saiyan," said Coiths.
Tak threw off his jacket. He had a sword in a sheath concealed under it.
"Trunks," said Tak.
Trunks looked over at Tak who drew his sword. Trunks nodded and did the same. At the same time they both charged, but Coiths saw them. He pulled a sword out of the air and blocked the attacks. Tak went SRE and Trunks went SS6, Coiths revealed a fourth form, like the SS3 but keeping his black eyes.
The three fighters fought wildly as Goku whispered something in Gohan's ear. Gohan crouched down and put his hands at his side.
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," said Gohan at his normal max.
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE," said Gohan at SS1 max.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," said Gohan at SS2 max.
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE," said Gohan at SS3 max.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," yelled Gohan at his SS4 and full max.
When Gohan yelled the last of the attack Tak grabbed Trunks and disappeared, Coiths was hit, head on unknowingly. Tak and Trunks reappeared with the others and ate senzu's as well as Gohan. Everyone went to their max power, the top limit their bodies could attain.
Goku, Gohan, Goten, Pan, Videl, Krillin, 18, Uub, Yamcha, Tein, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu all powered up Kamehameha's. Vegeta powered up a Final Flash. Trunks powered up a Burning Attack. Piccolo powered up a Light Grenade. Coiths didn't move, he saw that each was aiming straight ahead, none would hit him, they would waist their energy in attempts to hit him.
Tak appeared behind Coiths and stabbed one of his odd swords through each of Coiths legs and into the ground. He pulled both triggers and spikes shot out under ground and in Coiths legs to keep him there. Tak was back with the others and powered up Destructive Fists.
Before Coiths could try to free himself all the heroes fired. All the Kamehamehas merged into one, which soon merged with the Burning Attack, Light Grenade and Final Flash, then the Destructive Fists joined the mass of energy.
The fused attacks hit Coiths head on, he was defenseless. After the blast went off Krillin was quick to pass around senzus. Everyone was watching the smoke, they couldn't sense anything but they had to be sure. The smoke cleared and there was a huge crater where the blast went off. Then, the ground burst open behind them. They quickly turned around to see Coiths in the air. His gloves were gone, as well as his vest. His pants were torn and nonexistent below the knees. His whole body was beaten and bloody. He was in his fourth form.
"That was quite the attack, it would have decimated the Collector instantly. But I am stronger than that. I did not block it, and even if I could, I wouldn't have. You all combined you full power and you couldn't kill me. You won't try anymore so all that's left is to wipe you all out," said Coiths.
"Do you, yourself, want to die?" asked Goku.
"No," said Coiths, landing.
"Well you said that when the legendary super saiyan is dead, you will die, if you give up your evil ways, and help us, you won't die with us," said Goku.
"I knew you would try that. It won't work. I won't die, I'll cease to exist. And you won't be able to wish the saiyan back, because the killer killed him," said Coiths.
Tak screamed. He drew his sword and was SRE instantly. Before Coiths could react, Tak had stabbed him in the chest.
"Everyone, get as far from me as you can!" yelled Tak.
"What's in your head boy?" asked Coiths.
The others were flying away full speed, Gohan was caring Master Roshi. They stopped at a safe range but close enough to see.
"If I must die to kill you, then let it be done, you can't escape, if you pull the sword out, you'll lose all your energy," said Tak.
"You, self-destructing, to kill me? That won't work," said Coiths.
"We'll see," said Tak and an orb of energy surrounded him, all the power he possessed.
The orb was slowly absorbed into Tak, who then glowed pure white. Then the white started to flow out of Tak and through the sword into Coiths. When all the white was out of Tak he was SR3 and glowing white again.
"Yes, this power, you fool, your helping me," said Coiths, who was gaining all of Tak's power.
The white flowed from Tak again and he was SR2. Again and he was SR1. Again and he was normal. When all the power was out of Tak, and Coiths was, according to him, an unbeatable god, Tak smiled.
"What is it, have you been on my side the whole time?" asked Coiths.
"When I told you that if you pulled the sword out you would lose all your energy, I wasn't lying. It's an explosive reaction, and now you have all of your power, in addition to mine. It's a suicide attack because I won't live, but you're the one whose self-destructing," said Tak, and before Coiths could react to what he said Tak pulled the sword out, with the last of his energy, the one ounce he saved for that task. As soon as the sword was completely out of Coiths he exploded.
The blast was so bright that everyone had to look away. They all knew, instantly, that Tak was gone, the one person they thought would never die in battle, was dead.
The smoke never cleared on its own. An energy ball formed and cleared the smoke away. Before all the smoke was gone the ball shot off towards New Namek.
The blast, and planet blew up, completely, on impact.
Goku fell to his knees, after landing by the ship, and was utterly speechless. Then a being, with scaly skin in human form appeared in front of them. It was Coiths, he was in his end stage, his clothes were gone, as was his hair. He was a dragon.
"You may think that I am in my end stage, but I don't have one, I survive every attack and grow strong enough to defeat any enemy that comes to face me. Now, who thinks they can take me on?" asked Coiths.
"Why did you blow up the planet?" we were here in time," said Piccolo.
"You never arrived on Namek, and so, when the time limit was reached, it gets destroyed," said Coiths.
Vegeta looked at Goku, he was useless, Gohan and Goten weren't strong enough, it would have to be Trunks.
Piccolo put his hand on Vegeta shoulder, "do the dance with Gohan and use the earrings with Gotenks, the rest of us will hold him off, in turn, till your ready," said Piccolo, Vegeta nodded.
Piccolo tackled Coiths and drove him into the ground at the bottom of the cliff.
"Alright Gohan, do you know the fusion dance?" asked Vegeta and Gohan nodded.
"Good, you and me, then Trunks and Goten, we'll use the earrings after that, but I nee to be on the right earring," said Vegeta.
And so, Vegeta and Gohan fused into Goheta. Goheta put the Potara earring on his right ear and Gotenks put it on his left. The two fused into Truheta.
Piccolo was helpless against the raw power of Coiths, but before the finishing blow could be delivered Truheta stepped in. Truheta had to go SS2 just to keep up with Coiths. Yamcha was able to get Piccolo back to the others. Goku was still unmoving, on his knees, staring open mouthed at where New Namek used to be.
Through the battle Coiths kept the upper hand, even when Truheta went as far as SS6, Coiths just got stronger and stayed there, Truheta could only get a few hits in on Coiths before he was overpowered.
It was a while before Truheta was slammed into ground, and rendered unconscious. It was the impact of the fused saiyan that got Goku to look at the fight. He sensed Vegeta, Gohan, Goten and Trunks in the unconscious body of the fusion and he got up.
Goku screamed. He screamed for all the people Piccolo Dami killed. He screamed for all the people and things the saiyans killed in Frieza's name. He screamed for all the beings Frieza's other henchmen killed in his name. He screamed for all the beings Frieza himself, killed. He screamed for all the beings Cooler and his henchmen killed. He screamed for all the people the androids killed. He screamed for all the people Cell killed. He screamed for all the beings Buu killed. He screamed for all the beings Vegeta killed for evil. He screamed for all the beings Bojack and his team killed. He screamed for all the beings Hildegroth killed. He screamed for all the beings Baby killed. He screamed for all the people the dragons killed. He screamed for all the beings Vitchin killed. He screamed for all the beings the Collector killed. He screamed for all the beings ibity and his family killed. He screamed for all the beings Coiths kill, he screamed for the Nameks.
Then Goku turned pure white. And he kept screaming.
He screamed at Piccolo Dami. He screamed at the Red Ribbon army. He screamed at the saiyans. He screamed at Frieza and his henchmen. He screamed at Cooler and his henchmen. He screamed at the androids. He screamed at Cell. He screamed at Buu. He screamed at Bojack. He screamed at Garlic Jr. He screamed at Jenemba. He screamed at Hildegroth. He screamed at Baby. He screamed at the dragons. He screamed at Vitchin. He screamed at the Collector and he screamed at Coiths. But still, most of all, he screamed for the Nameks.
Goku stopped screaming. The white went away to reveal something new. Goku's hair was in its normal form, but gray, as were his eyebrows. His eyes were black. His tail was gray, and his body was covered in fur like SSE only the fur was gray. His shirt was still on, his power hadn't shredded it.
Coiths smiled and kicked Truheta up to the others, Piccolo caught him in one hand. Goku didn't move, he was still where he was when he started screaming and hadn't moved an inch.
"Well, now I know who the legendary super saiyan is," said Coiths.
Truheta was getting up and heard these words and saw Goku, the Vegeta within cursed but the Trunks, Gohan, and Goten only stared blankly. Coiths flew up to Goku face to face.
"You lied," said Goku.
"What?" asked Coiths.
"You lied when you said we never saw your kind before," said Goku.
"No I didn't," said Coiths.
"Yes you did. You are like everything we had to kill. All the villains who came against us, killed mercilessly, and so do you. You are all the same to me," said Goku.
Coiths smiled and punched Goku in the face. Goku didn't budge. Coiths grew stronger, and tried again. But still nothing.
"You have to die Coiths, all the other legendary super saiyans went mad with power, they needed to be stopped, but not me. I stop the ones who go mad with power, like you," said Goku and he punched Coiths in the face and sent him into the distance.
A blast came from the distance and hit Goku dead on but nothing happened. Coiths soon followed the blast but Goku grabbed him by the face and slammed him into the ground below the cliff and let go a blast that went through the planet and destroyed Coiths body.
But Coiths wasn't dead. He was there when the smoke was gone. Goku looked back at the others. "Leave, now," he turned back to Coiths "I am who he wants, and I alone can stop him, I don't want any of you to get hurt in the process," said Goku.
Coiths smiled. "Very well, let them go, I won't be able to kill them once I kill you," said Coiths in his egomaniacal way.
Soon after the ship took off, it passed where New Namek was and the planet they were on blew up. It was over, Goku and Coiths were gone, and they wouldn't be able to wish Goku back.
Truheta was split back into Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan and Goten. Trunks was flying.
"I wonder who unleashed the force to destroy the planet," said Master Roshi.
"It was Goku," said King Ki, who was telepathically speaking to everyone. "and it worked, in all ways he intended. Coiths is gone, because Goku is dead, but because Goku killed himself, and saved you is counts as self sacrifice, and he gets to keep his body, but Coiths stays dead," said King Ki.
"Alright dad," said Gohan.
"Tak's here too. And they both say that before you wish them back you have to wish New Namek back, before it expires, then all the namekans," said King Ki.
"That was what we planed to do anyway," said Vegeta.
Trunks landed and the group split up to get the Dragonballs and made the wishes right away. They made the wishes on Dende's lookout, where Trunks landed the ship. Once the dragon was gone they heard laughter from the ship. It was Coiths, he was holding onto the outside of the ship.
"Goku keeps his body, and so do I. I'm going to kill all of-" said Coiths before gasping and falling to his knees.
He was twitching and grabbing at the air. Then he fell onto his face and faded away.
"How did he stay alive, and why did he just die?" asked Gohan.
"He said that because I kept my body he gets to stay alive," said Goku through King Ki.
"And I told you that a wish cannot be made by a dragon or concerning a dragon without the dragon dieing," said Tak through King Ki.
"But it wasn't concerning a dragon," said Trunks.
"In order to stop me, Coiths had to become a dragon, and wishing the nameks back, after they were killed by a dragon is a wish concerning a dragon," said Goku through King Ki.
