A/NThe only review to my last chapter was "Vegeta super is"…That really put me down so Ive been waiting at least a year for more reviews. But in the end, Ive decided to move on and continue this story. For anyone whos actually gonna read this I hope you like it!
What happened Last Time.
"Is that all you've got?" Laughed Reikoku as Vegeta sank towards the ground, exhausted after using a continuous ki barrage.
"ILL NEVER GIVE UP!" He yelled in response. With that he put his hands together and shot a thick beam of ki energy towards the black figure. The mist took the blasts full power and started to fade.
"heheheh…It seems your not as weak as I took you for." Reikoku remarked. "How about I give you a little taste of what real power is?" He raised a finger and pointed it at the weakened Saiyan Prince. "Good Bye you weakling"
The Strength of The Kamehamea
Vegeta stared at the orb or electrical black energy forming around his foes finger. He waited Expressionlessly as the sphere was getting larger every second. Slowly, the saiyan searched in his body until he found the necessary ki. He then powered up, first to super saiyan, then ascended saiyan (super saiyan 2). Swirls of thick golden ki circled the prince as he cried out in a burst of energy.
"Die." Called Reikoku.
As he shot the concentrated orb of energy at the mass of golden light, Vegeta prepared himself. The tatanic orb created a depression in the ground before it made contact. The power itself might have devastated an entire city. Reikoku just laughed as the golden light was neutralized in the black ki. The body of Vegeta was engulfed by the attack and was liquefied as if he were a piece of paper in a campfire.
"Hahaha…I had heard that Saiyans were a strong warrior people…This is pathetic…no wonder the race was wiped out…" Reikoku scoffed.
"Guess again, Bub" The voice had appeared behind Reikoku.
"Impossible! An after image?" The dark sorcerer cried.
"Wow you're smarter then you look" replied Vegeta with a smirk. "Well now I'LL show you what real power is." With that The Saiyan prince swung his hand back and thrust it into Reikoku's face. He smiled as his fist met flesh. However…
"WHAT THE HELL!"
(In the air where Serena, Luna and Gohan are heading to the scene)
The air around them was thickening. Although the barrier still lingered around them, turbulence was causing the helicopter to sway.
"I can't hold it…any longer…" strained Luna. Her voice was weak and she was really trying to hold on, as if she had been holding her breath since the barrier took form. Finally, the cat lost control and the barrier faded entirely. Almost as if a tital wave hit them, the helicopter went haywire and started falling through the air, twisting and turning feebly as if it were a small row boat in a tidal wave.
"Luna-san!" Screamed Serena (A/N I just realized a while ago that her name is Usagi or Usaga or something…but seeing as I don't actually know Ill just stick with Serena which is the English name for her) She held on for dear life as the helicopter spun wildly. She grabbed her unconscious cat and held on, only being stabilized with the seatbelt she was wearing (A/N See the importance of seat belts? lol) Seeing that this would be the end, the blonde girl did what she had been trained to do for years. Scream. She opened her mouth, but just as she was about to, she felt the vehicle slow in its plunge. When it came to a complete stop she looked out the window. "Am I dead?" she wondered aloud.
"Nope." Came a reply.
"Oh….my…GOSH-DO(U)MO-ARIGATO-GOZAIMAS(U)-GOHAN-KUN!" she squealed at the boy who was carrying the helicopter with one hand. The door to the helicopter was torn off and Gohan reached inside to grab the two passengers. Although the air around them was filled with evil and power, being in the strong arms of the half Saiyan, and cradling her beloved Luna around her chest, Serena couldn't help but feel safe. With Serena and Luna in his arms, Gohan sped towards the power, not knowing what would be in store for him.
(At the Castle)
"WHAT THE HELL" cried Vegeta as he pulled his hand back.
"You will not hurt my sento." Replied the intruder. Wiping blood off her face, Hidoi turned to face her master. "Sento… Please continue you're work. I will deal with this filthy pest.
"I would be glad to kill you before him. I havn't had a fight like this since we fought Cell."
"I must admit that you're pretty cute…but I will have to kill you since you're being a bother to my sento."
"Then let's get this party started" With that, Vegeta rose into the air, beckoning the Ice witch to follow. (A/N I could be really mean and start a next scene here…but Ill be nice and make the fight here and now.)
"HA!" cried Vegeta as he sent a bombardment of ki blasts at the Majo (witch). She dodged them and shouted "TSURARA"(icicle). As before, hundreds of ice daggers streaked towards her enemy. Vegeta dodged them with ease as he swooped towards her. Suddenly, he disappeared and reappeared behind her, karate chopping her in the back. The two levitated in the fog filled air, still as two statues. Hidoi's head suddenly jerked around to look at Vegeta (not like an owl…just like how a normal person looks behind). Only her eyes were white. Not like a dead white, but a white like how Storm from X-men gets when shes using her powers.
"Hieru" She muttered with a confident smirk. Immediately, her back turned ice cold. Vegeta cried out in surprise and tried to pull away but he found he couldn't. He was frozen to her back. And the worst part was, the ice was traveling up his arm. "Hahahahhaa…now that you are trapped in my ice, it will engulf you and you will fall. You made a very bad decision when you chose to fight me this high in the air."
"Baka..." Vegeta said with a laugh. "It was not I, but you who made the poor choice to follow me. You obviously didn't do your homework when you were studying saiyans because you obviously forgot that we don't freeze." With a yell his hand turned gold under the sheet of ice and he released a flash of energy into her back.
Hidoi screamed as she was blasted towards the ground by the force of the ki. Vegeta shook the frost off his arm as he smirked at the woman. She had regained control of her fall but her face was flushed, her clothes were torn and her hair was a mess.
"YOU! I'm going to be serious now. NO more playing around!" With that she charged up at him in full speed, materializing a clear diamond like sword as she went. Her force was so great that it seemed the fog was splitting for her. With one last burst of energy, she thrusted the razor-sharp blade at her opponent. Vegeta only smiled.
"You have power woman. I complement you on that. However, you're little sword trick had a flaw" He swiftly evaded the sword as it came millimeters before searing through his chest. He was now behind her as she sailed past. "You have just left an opening for my attack." Without a moments hesitation, Vegeat put his hands in a fist above his head and smashed her down with great momentum. She fell straight into the ground, causing a deep crater. Vegeta sighed with relief as he glided down. No sooner had he landed though, did he feel a sharp sting in his stomach. It seemed that he had been poisoned by the thick, dark air around him.
"YOU BASTARD" He cried as he gathered his energy and sped towards the top of the castle where Reikoku was. His vision was blurring before he reached the top and he totally lost conciousness when he reached the dark spell caster.
(We now go back to where Gohan is with his 'luggages")
Gohan could feel it now. The power was right here. He could almost have vomited with all the dark air he was consuming. Serena (who had previously transformed into her alter ego) was still clinging to the unconscious Luna while she was being carried bridal style to their destination. He looked at her, snuggled with her face buried in his chest. Because the front of his orange gi was getting wet, he could tell she was sobbing.
"Sailor Moon…What's wrong?" he questioned. He peered down at her as she looked up, so that they were almost nose to nose.
"Oh you don't have to worry… I was just thinking about Videl-chan, Darien-kun, and your Okasan. And what about your ototo-san? He was as sick as you were…"
"Goten-chan is strong… When I was unconscious, I had a vision of my dearest people fading away. When all hope was almost lost, I could see a figure emerging from the darkness. I think that the only way to get out of the sickness was to defeat the evil, because I regained consciousness after defeating it. Of course… I was exhausted after it, and Im 11 year older then him. Nevertheless, the only way to bring all of them back is by defeating their boss, Reikoku." Sailor Moon nodded, faking a smile, but deep down she was still crying.
"Gohan-kun…"Sailor Moon began. "There was something else bothering me."
"What is that?"
"Well, back home…In Tokyo…my friends would always be there to support me. I could always count on the help of Sailor Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Artemis. But here, I only had the support of Darien and Luna. Now that their both unable to help…I just feel so alone…"
"I felt the same way, Sailor Moon."
"What?"
"Well, a few years back, I was in a fight. A big one. Against one of the vilest creatures ever known to man. He was ruthless, and took the lives of others in order to strengthen himself. In the end, I was the only one who could defeat him. Even my otosan tried to defeat him, but only ended up getting hurt. I had never felt hate so much in my life. And when my father got hurt trying to protect us…I felt so much hate towards the enemy. And when I am in rage…It feels like I have no limit to my power. But because of my arrogance, I lost my father in that battle. I swore never to give in to my power again. I swore that day that I would always use my rage to defeat evil to the best of my ability. I will not lose anyone I care about anymore." Without even knowing it, his tears were spilling down his cheeks and onto Sailor Moons tiara. She closed her eyes and let her tears flow too. But Gohan was not finished. "No matter what happens, I will not let Videl get hurt. I will not allow anyone I care about die in front of my eyes again."
"But what if we can't beat Reikoku? What if our powers aren't good enough to-" But Gohan interrupted her.
"I know we will defeat him. Even though I don't have my father to help me physically, I can still feel him in my heart. I know that he will be watching me from the Otherworld and will be calling to me, cheering on me…I know that he will guide me just like he did when I destroyed Cell." Sailor Moon wiped the tears out of her eyes.
" I know we will...I have faith in you Gohan…But you are not alone." This time she wiped the tears off of his face. "Because I am here to help you."
And I will defeat him…with the strength my fathers attack…the strength of the Kamehamea. Thought Gohan.
(In the Kame Household)
Although the plague was belated, Master Roshi was too put under the sickness after time. His wisdom and mind power had detained much of it, but in the end, age did have its toll as his will power gave in. The others however, were already facing the same pain as Gohan and Vegeta had. As each one of their fears turned into a monster, they battled bravely. Although they could power up, they didn't have ascended forms like their saiyan friends, and the spell was intended to affect humans, not aliens. Launch still hummed cheerfully as she put cool wet towels on their heads. This was nothing but usual chores to her.
(In Android 18's Dream)
"NO! Krillen! Marron! Come back!" With no reaction to her desperate cries, one by one, they disappeared and were replaced by her two brothers Android 16 and 17. "Brothers! Please help me!" They too disappeared leaving her defeated. She had never shaken in as much fear as she did now since she had fought Cell. Her tears brought her to her knees as she cried miserably. The only people she ever loved were now gone. There was no hope left. Suddenly, there as an echo. A faint laugh. The noise grew louder and louder until it filled her ears. She tried to cover them but it seemed the laugh was so loud she couldn't block it out. "No!. Leave me ALONE!" she desperately cried. The laughing was so familiar, and she couldn't quite place it, but she knew it gave her a sense of fear and dread. A figure was forming in front of her. Only then did she remember the laugh. "No…They killed you…"
"Only my body…But I do not die. Even if my body is destroyed…I will always be part of you…just as you were part of me"
A/N: Whew this was a long one. Ended in a cliffy too. I know there was a moment with Usagi and Gohan seeming to bond…but this is a desperate time. Both of them are about to risk their lives in a battle to save the world. I needed to let them express their deepest feelings of regret. Like so many books that end with 7 chapters (eg. Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter…etc) I think Ill also end this at 7. I know this story was rated with adventure and romance…but I think Ill leave it at adventure. But who knows? I might just surprise u! No one told me to keep Videl and Tuxedo Mask in the story anymore, but again, u might be surprised at what I do Anyways…READ AND REVIEW REVIEW AND REVIEW!
