Disclaimer: Toei Animation, Bird Studios/Shueisha, Akira Toriyama, and FUNimation own all three Dragon Ball Series. If I owned them, which I don't, I'd be rich, which I'm not, and you'd be watching this fan fiction on TV, not reading it on a computer.
After a day's toils… I was able to put out two chapters in one day! Aren't you just so glad? Lol, well the tenth chapter is here for your enjoyment! Oh yeah... Don't let the title fool you, this isn't the end of my little tale...Just the end of the Reign of Terror Arc... Now, Onward!
Chapter 10: Dai Daun's Reign of Terror: The Finale
"I grow weary of these battles, so, I'll end this." Daun raised his palm to face Trunks. "Be gone mortal."
A sphere of black energy flew from his palm.
Trunks lifted his head, a murderous taint filling his eyes.
The attack exploded on contact.
The sound of a deafening roar eclipsed the explosion's noise easily.
The dust clouds from the explosion were forced apart by a golden flame, the fire so brilliant the form within it hidden from sight completely.
The fire slowly began to calm, and Trunks stood snarling. "You will pay for their lives with your own!" He flew at the demon, fist balled tight.
Trunks roared as he threw his fist out, only to have it caught by the demon.
"Well," said Dai Daun as he tightened his grip, making Trunks fall to his knees in agony. "You are more skilled that I expected." He lifted Trunks up by his fist and threw him into a boulder, the boulder shattering all over the Saiyajin.
With a roar, all the rubble was flung off Trunks by his aura, and the two warriors flew at each other, throwing heavy, bone-shattering blow after blow.
Dai Daun easily dodged all of Trunks's attacks, but the same could not be said of Trunks, who was getting battered and bruised.
Dai Daun grinned and lunged at Trunks, and slammed his mighty fist into Trunks's chest as hard as he could.
Trunks screamed out in pain as he was sent backwards, sailing down into the dirt, his body skidding another couple of miles once he was down.
Dai Daun wasn't about to give Trunks a chance to recover. He put his palms together and unleashed a huge ki beam that soon grew so large that it was as great as the moon, if not bigger.
"Demolition Wave!" Roared Dai Daun, the enormous wave of tainted, dark energy soaring towards Trunks at tremendous speed.
Trunks screamed and thrust his palms forth. "Galic Gun!" The purple wave hit Dai Daun's wave but it was so weak it almost shattered, but it held up just enough for Trunks to put some force into it.
The monster held his end with ease, while it was evident that Trunks was losing, as the head of Dai Daun's beam was so close that Trunks's clothes were being singed a little from the intense heat of the dark energy.
The beam suddenly dissipated and Trunks's wave was deflected easily as a massive knee was driven into the Super Saiyajin Two's gut.
Trunks spat blood as he tried to keep himself from vomiting his organs. Dai Daun took its knee out and spun around to kick Trunks in the face.
Several bones in beaten Super Saiyajin's face shattered as he flew through the air.
Dai Daun phased from sight and reappeared above Trunks and slammed his forearms down into Trunks's body.
Trunks was sent careening into the Earth, his limp body hitting the Earth hard.
Trunks fought his body's wish to stay down, slowly forcing himself up onto his hands and knees.
Trunks realized there was no point in fighting back now. Dai Daun was too strong. Trunks could hardly move. Dai Daun walked over to Trunks, and picked him up by his shirt.
"What's the matter?" he said, grinning evilly. "You can't be ready to give up this easily. Your friends would be ashamed."
Trunks gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes blazing. "Shut up and die damn you!" He roared, his aura exploding about him and forcing the demon back.
Dai Daun scowled and charged at him unleashing a barrage of fast punches.
Trunks neatly dodged each blow, the punches thrown almost in slow motion to him. He scowled darkly and blocked one punch, driving his fist into the demon's abdomen. Dai Daun doubled over clutching its gut, grunting as he received a swift boot to the face.
Its head snapped back as Trunks hurled numerous ki blasts at the cursing Dai Daun, all which hit him in different places.
The demon fell back, only to catch a punch with his face.
That sent the beast sailing into the dirt, denting the ground soundly. But, the demon was on his feet the next moment.
Trunks's scowl darkened. "Big Burning Attack!" He fired the enormous wave of white energy at the demon.
The attack struck Dai Daun and exploded on contact.
Dai Daun's body was blown apart, small bits of his form splattered all about the ground.
Trunks lowered his body to the ground. "Its over..."
Was it?
He looked to his left, and saw the blobs of black matter completing Dai Daun's form.
Trunks screamed in frustration, his aura glowing brilliantly. "Why won't you die!"
Dai Daun grinned. "It is beyond your strength to defeat one such as me, child."
Trunks growled and cupped his hands at his sides, purple energy sparking between his palms. Small, gold static lighting bolts flickered around his purple orb as it grew, becoming a densely packed ball of Super Saiyajin power.
"Galic Gun!" Boomed Trunks as he threw his arms forward, thrusting the purple ball downward, and watched it become an enormous wave of glittering purple energy as it sailed down towards Dai Daun.
Dai Daun grinned. "Dark Reflection!" An enormous glass plate of translucent black energy formed itself in front of the demon, and the attack was reflected back to Trunks.
"No!" Screamed Trunks as his own wave struck him powerfully, his clothing being melted as his flesh began to sizzle.
"You shall not die yet…" Said Daun after a few moments of letting the ki eat away at Trunks. "Be gone!"
At his command, the wave dissipated.
"Now…"Daun's voice grew soft as he muttered a quick incantation.
Trunks felt rather strange as a blue glow encased him, the flesh burnt off of his form slowly reforming, as good as new.
He looked at Daun thoroughly confused. "Why did you heal me? Is this part of your sick game!"
Daun smirked. "Child, I have fought a great many battles in my time, and I have come to realize that it is far more satisfying to crush an opponent with your own two hands, not through magic or through ki." With that, Daun phased from sight.
"Where are you demon!"
"Here child!" Roared Daun as he swung his leg into a roundhouse kick that landed with a loud crack right on the back of Trunks's skull.
Trunks flew to the ground below, landing face down hard. He lay in the dirt, trying to refocus his eyes and keep from vomiting from the vertigo that suddenly overwhelmed him.
Trunks finally climbed to his feet, but was doubled over from the pain in his head, his vision was swimming so much he could barely keep from falling back over.
Daun appeared before the wobbly Trunks and slammed his knee into Trunks's gut. Trunks doubled over further in agony as Daun pounded his fists into Trunks's back.
Trunks let out a blood-curtailing cry as Dai Daun threw his head back in mad laughter.
"Die child, and tell the Kaioushin that I come for them next!" Blackness flowed forth from Daun's body and began to consume Trunks's form.
"No!" Roared a new voice, a golden blast striking Daun and knocking him backward, the dark aura leaving Trunks.
"What!" Dai Daun bellowed, looking upward, and saw a figure glowing brilliantly.
"Who are you!"
"Your end."
Gogeta Versus Dai Daun... An epic battle to be remembered... But I have to think it up first lol. And until I do, you can always review this chapter... which might help me think a little faster... Later.
