Chapter 4
Encounter
Serrath stood up, breathing a sigh of relief, it had taken longer then he had thought to get the Z fighters to be able to detect his power, but they eventually got it. Serrath smiled "There… you are all done…" Vegeta looked at Serrath and said "There is no way your power level is higher then mine… there is some mistake there…" Serrath smiled at Vegeta "Then I shall show you… when we face Kain together" Goku nodded, "It will be good to see what you can do Serrath" He laughed at Goku's curiosity "Ah Goku… always looking for a challenge I see… well, this will be a big challenge… you must not hold back your power… you must use the power of a Super Sayain you have acquired" Goku nodded. He looked to the other Z fighters "If anyone else wishes to come, they will be welcomed, but I will not hold it against you if you don't come" at first no one said anything, Piccolo broke the silence "I would come… but I am still recovering from the last fight" Goku smiled at Piccolo "I know Piccolo, don't worry about it" Gohan stepped forward "I want to fight dad" Chi Chi now made herself known "No, absolutely not! Gohan you are too young for this" Gohan looked at his mum "But mom, I have got to! What is something goes wrong?" Chi Chi looked at Gohan and said "I don't want you to, what if something happens to you? Huh? What then?" Goku stepped in "Gohan will be fine, ill make sure of it!" Chi Chi knew she would not win this argument. "Arr! Fine… but if Gohan gets hurt, so help me Goku…" Goku backed off a little bit "Don't worry!" Serrath stepped between the two "Sort this out later… he is waiting for us…" Vegeta grumbled 'Am I to be made a show of again? Ha! I'll prove I am the strongest warrior in the galaxy!' Serrath looked at Vegeta, without saying a word, he flew out of the lookout and waited for the three Sayain's to follow. Gohan, Goku and Vegeta followed Serrath, who was leading the way to where Kain awaited their arrival.
On the way to where they could sense Kain, Gohan asked Serrath a question. "What type of get up is that, the one you and your friend wear?" Serrath smiled "Very curious aren't you little one?" Gohan nodded. Vegeta looked over the Serrath and said "It looks like some sort of armour, like sayain's wore" Serrath nodded "That is because it is the traditional battle wear of the Karchartan race wore… not as you sayain's didn't need strong armour and only wore it for uniform purposes… the Karchartans wore this for protective purposes, so they could repel weak attacks" he replied, showing them his get up. He wore a black bodysuit, white boots with a black trimming, a small silver utility belt and white chest armour with black trimmings. It looked like the armour Vegeta wore on his first trip to Earth, except different colour schematics. "Our armour does look similar" Serrath said after stopping to show them, "They where all designed by the same race… the Soryan's. They had a mutual agreement between the Sayain's and Karchartans to stay out of their war" Vegeta nodded "Much good that did them!" Serrath grumbled.
It took sometime, but Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Serrath landed on an island away from the rest of the world, Kain was here, they could sense him, suddenly they heard a laugh. "So… you have learned to detect my power level… interesting…" Kain showed himself to the four warriors. "Allow me to show you just how powerful I can be!" His hair stood on end a little bit more, his eyes glowing red, his muscles expanding a little, making his armour move out a little. He looked up at the four warriors who stood in front of them before saying "I am tired of making excuses for this host's actions… I care not for what you sayain's did, I just enjoy destroying everything! There is no use in keeping the charade now Serrath here told you of me" Goku smiled "Well, now, we gave you the opportunity to show your power, allow us to show you mine!" Goku suddenly turned Super Sayain, Kain seemed a little shocked my this, "An ascended sayain? Hmm, I thought that would not be possible… this changes everything…" Kain smiled "I will enjoy tearing you limb from limb" Serrath stepped forward "Not if I have anything to say about it!" Serrath started charging up at an alarming rate, his silver hair flowing in the gusts given off by his energy. Kain looked at his friend and said "My my, you have gotten stronger!" Vegeta and Gohan used the time at hand to power up as well, while Kain's attention was drawn, Vegeta attacked, Kain was taken by surprise, he did not think someone like Vegeta could do that, he turned around to look at him "You shouldn't have done that!" Gohan tried to attack from the side, but Kain grabbed his leg and threw him at Vegeta "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice? Never!" He fired a blast attack, Gohan and Vegeta moved out of the way of it before it hit. Goku then attacked Kain, he had to defend against Goku because of his current power, there was no way to avoid him. After a while, he navigated himself and Goku near Gohan and fired a blast at Goku's son. Goku teleported down to save him, just as Kain turned around, Serrath charged at him with a flying kick, which caught Kain in the face, making his flip backwards, Kain countered by back flipping, at the angle he was at, he caught Serrath in the back of the head with a kick. As he recovered from that, Vegeta started firing volleys of ki blasts, Gohan, Goku and Serrath joined in, smoke billowed around Kain. After 5 minutes of that, they all stopped to see what had happened. When the smoke dissipated, Kain was there, with a circular energy barrier around him, he smiled "My turn he" he said. He tensed up, suddenly, they where all being drawn to him, he was using a gravitational pull, probably created by the energy barrier to draw them in, despite their efforts, they where drawn towards it, as soon as they where close, he attacked "Giga Gravitation Field!" He expanded his barrier to the point where it absorbed his enemies into it, then releasing a lot of energy within the barrier, injuring all those inside, including himself.
Tien and Piccolo stood at the end of Kami's lookout. Bulma was very irritated, "Hey you two! What is going on!" Tien broke from his concentration and said "Things don't look good… they where holding him off for a while, but he just got a major hit in on all of them…" Krillin gulped "How can we face that if they can't!" Piccolo, still with his eyes closed said "We wont… defeat is not their plan, but neither is victory…" Yamcha seemed confused "What does THAT mean?" Piccolo grunted "You shall see" Tien closed his eyes and re-joined Piccolo at the tip of the lookout.
Goku and Serrath quickly recovered from that unorthodox attack, Serrath looked at Goku and said "I need time to prepare my attack, Gohan is hurt and Vegeta can't do much at this moment, it is up to you Goku!" Goku nodded, and rushed at Kain, who was recovering from his own energy outburst himself. Goku thought to himself whilst fighting 'He doesn't seem concerned about his won well being… wait a second… that's it!' Goku shoulder barged Kain back and teleported away, but still enough so he could hear what he would say. "You are not Kain… are you?" Kain looked at him and said "What are you talking about?" Goku continued with what he was saying "From what I remember, Kain was a fun loving, honourable fighter… you are not him, so what should I call you then?" Kain seemed confused "huh, wha- I…" Goku was successful, he was confused! Kain roared "Your tricks wont work on me!" He charged at Goku, poth of them trading quik punches and kicks, while doing this Kain shouted "I am demon! You will fear me and you will die!" He knocked Goku back, but Goku just smiled "You are no demon… you'r a monster hiding within the body of an honourable warrior… and its time you let him go!" Kain looked down, Serrath's power was swelling, it was now more powerful then his! Serrath stood on a rocky pillar, his arms spread apart, energy visibly swirling around him, he looked up at Kain and said "I am sorry my friend…" He slammed his hands together, then turning them so one faced the sky and another the ground, he slowly separated them, on the lower hand, was an energy ball, he broguth it close to his chest, closing his second hand on the other side of his attack, "Shining Star!" He then pushed his hands forward, causing one beam attack to fire, unlike most beam attacks the front was giving way, so looking straight at it, made it look like an 8 pointed star was being fired by a beam. Kain again put of an energy barrier to help defend against this, suddenly he heard the other three. "Kamehameha!" "Galick Gun!" "Masenko-ha!" four separate attacks hit his energy field, the three attacks where weakening it, the 'Shining Star' broke through it, hitting the defenceless Kain, causing him to fall to the ground.
The four of them, scathed and hurt from the fight surrounded the almost lifeless body of Kain, he was alive, he was still breathing. Serrath pit his hand on Kain and whispered "Kain… you are strong… you can control this thing within you…" Kain started moving a bit "Contain it!" Kain's eyes opened, they where red but, he was struggling against an unseen force, Kain roared out in pain… his deep voice was changing to that of normal tone… whatever Serrath said subconsciously or done, it seemed to have worked… as soon, the evil within his eyes had gone and once he stood up, he did not attack. He looked at Serrath and said "I… I am sorry for what I have done my friend…" Serrath shook his head and said "You could not control your actions" Kain walked to Goku, Gohan and Vegeta and said "I can never thank you enough for what you have done here for me… I will repay you for this, you have my word… but I think it is best I hide away for a while… to avoid attention that my actions would have caused" Kain turned his back to them, looking over his shoulder he said "I beg the forgiveness of you and your friends… but I do not deserve it until I earn it… that time will come soon enough" Within a second, he was gone. Gohan ran to chase after him, but Goku stopped him "Leave him be Gohan…" Gohan looked at his dad, "B-but why?" Serrath walked forward "because he needs time to come to terms with what he has done… he cannot do that whilst around people…" Vegeta grunted, Serrath hovered in the air a little "I must go train… I shall be back when you next need me" Serrath then flew off in the opposite direction to Kain. Goku waved "Goodbye friend… we shall meet again!" Vegeta decided to fly back to the lookout without Goku and Gohan, Gohan waved along with his father, watching as a new friend flew over the horizon.
