Chapter 37: Omega Doom

"You call yourself death? I don't think so." Omega said as he laughed.

"I hate killing, but I have to admit that killing is sometimes the only thing that can be done. You are one of those few who have to die. I killed Guldo on Namek, Sahara, and as Majin I killed hundreds, I killed Roxx, Drazark, and I killed Super 17. I've also witnessed many deaths, and have learned a few things about death in my life."

"Yeah, like what?" Omega pushed.

"That death is fitting for you. Are you ready to accept it? Most cowards like you aren't. I know a thing or two about fear as well."

"Yes, a lot about fear as I know it." Omega laughed.

"Talk big while you still can." Vegeta said.

The fight that followed was very… bad. So bad I don't want to describe it, but I will.

Omega blasted at us, and I grabbed Goku and Vegeta and teleported out of the way. For three moves we teleported out of Omega's range, but he was always ready.

"This is so stupid! We should be fighting, not running!" Vegeta said.

"I know, but that blast could throw us out of out Super Sayjin Four forms, and kill Goku. If only we had some Zinzu beans."

"No time!" Goku pointed out Omega, firing again. Omega was on our tails again, and this time I barely made the jump in time.

"I'm outta juice, guys. I can't teleport anymore."

"Oh, great." Goku said. Another blast came at us, and this time, seeing as I had more energy left than Vegeta, I passed Goku to him and blocked the blast.

"How can you still stand against my might?" Omega asked in shock once he saw me still standing.

"Your power is nothing compared to some I've fought." I said, panting. Vegeta just stood there, holding Goku, "What do you think this is, a movie? Get him out of here!"

"You say my power is nothing?" Omega said, coming closer and punching me in the gut. His spiked hand made it hurt that much more, "I'm like a storm, wild and vicious." I fell to my knees, clutching my stomach.

"No mat-matter how strong the… storm becomes, Omega… the sun can always shine through." I said, spitting out blood.

"How lady like, Katie. And you sounded just like Nova with your little monologue."

"But I'm right, aren't I?" I laughed as I coughed.

He kicked me, sending me through the air and onto my back. I didn't move, I couldn't as he walked closer.

"Oh Kais, I can't move… so this is what it feels like?" I smirked.

"What's this? I thought you were death?" Omega laughed.

"Maybe I was too rash in that statement."

"No, Katie!" Goku called. My vision was blurred, but I still saw the blast go toward Goku and Vegeta.

"No! Go-Goku, Veg-Vegeta!" it hurt so much to breathe, much less talk, but pain was an old friend of mine. Roxx made me tough against pain with his tortures over 20 years ago.

Codie ran over, kneeling beside me.

"Mom, are you okay?" he asked. I felt SSJ4 melt away. I couldn't hold it any longer in my condition.

"Get out of here! What are you thinking?" I snapped.

"If Omega kills you, I'll be alone. I can't do that mom, I'm not strong like that. If you go, I'll go too."

"You're being a baka, Codie. Once we get the Dragonballs-"

"If we get the Dragonballs." Codie interrupted.

I hadn't thought of that. I did back before when the Shadow Dragons first appeared. If Goku does lose… we all die.

"Codie, now you listen to me. We'll get the Dragonballs back. If we don't, then we all die. So don't you treat death like its nothing! And don't rely so much on the Dragonballs. We did in the past, and even though I attempted to fix it, it created him." I said, pointing to Omega as I sat up, wincing as I did, "I made you, Omega, and I swear I'll unmake you."

Omega only laughed as he took to the air, looking at his presumed kingdom. I saw Vegeta get up out of the corner of my eye. He wasn't SSJ4 any longer.

"Grandpa, where's Goku?" Vegeta didn't answer.

No… we need him… the plot had Goku come back, but that was the story. Lots of things have happened to effect this time. It may not be… Goku can't be… I have to get up!

But in vain I fell back onto the concrete. Lots of times in the past our battles were fought in forests, fields, or deserts, but now we were in a concrete jungle. The hot concrete was kind of relaxing.

"Mom, we've lost, haven't we?" Codie asked.

"I don't believe that. I don't! Goku isn't gone."

The Council always made sure Goku wasn't gone, but now… what if he really is gone? Who could stop Omega? He's stronger than anyone living right now, and Roxx wouldn't, but more importantly couldn't, take him.

Then I felt a tug in my Solar Plexus, the chakra that stored Ki. It was a tug from Goku. He was making a Spirit Bomb.

I gave my energy, as much as I could. The others heard Goku's voice and raised their hands, but I could barely think straight.

I was so tired… tired of fighting… tired of living without Mirai… I just wanted to sleep.

I felt something hit my shoulder as I closed my eyes, bright heat and light, but I was so tired I barely felt it.

"Don't sleep Katie... we still need you on earth… don't fall asleep."

Why? I'm just tired, that's all…

"No, it's more than that. If you sleep now, you won't wake up…"

Why wouldn't I wake up? I just need to rest my eyes…

"Wake up!"

"Mom? Mom! Wake up! Please, don't leave me!"

"Codie?" I asked, opening my eyes.

"Don't scare me like that!"

I sat up, feeling a little jaded but better. I looked at myself, and saw a hole burned through my right shoulder. It hurt like hell now that I noticed it, and I grabbed it trying to stop the flow of blood trickling down my arm. I couldn't move my right arm when I tried. When I looked at Codie I saw tears falling down his face.

"Codie? What's wrong?" Codie grabbed me and hugged me, crying.

"Omega blasted you while you were unconscious. I thought he killed you. Mom, I thought I lost you!"

"Its okay Codie, I told you I'd never leave you again, and I meant it." I said, holding him.

I did almost die… someone wouldn't let me… Mirai? Could it be?

I looked around, feeling drained and hurt, but when I saw Goku holding up that Genkai Dama, I felt all my pain vanish. His Spirit Bomb was equal to the size of earth's moon.

The blast was thrown, and Omega couldn't fight against it. The blast enveloped Omega, and then nothing. Omega's Ki disappeared.
