Chapter 15 – In The End...
" Uh... what?" the vampire lord asked confused, momentarily loosing his composure and evil intentions and wondering whatta hell just happened. Goku's face twitched as he was pressed hard not to crack up in laughing fit or faint in fear. Leave it to Bulma and her psychological coping mechanism be random humour to relive the tension...
Vegeta wasn't so lucky. His suppressed mirth hurt his ribs badly as he contained laughter. He was exactly sure what the blue-haired woman said but it sure sounded interesting and insultingly funny! Bulma herself couldn't believe what she had blurted out of the big mouth of hers and was paling rapidly. The thought of angering and insulting mortal realm's worst villain and psychopath seemed suddenly really bad and stupid thing to do and she had just done it. ChiChi glared at her semi-friend hotly though highly amused; she really rather died laughter on her lips than fearing for her life in a cold dungeon.
The tension in the air suddenly picked up again as the lull in the atmosphere was dispelled by Frieza's furious cry as he realized it wasn't a nice comment the blue-haired vixen had made. " WHAT WAS THAT! YOU INSOLENT BITCH! YOU INSULTED ME! WHY YOU...!"
The vampire lord charged blindly; thunder bolts snapping about him, charging a massive amount of dark magic into a destructive spell meant ot wipe them all out for good. Goku sprung into action, his own violet shade of magic blazing around him as he desperately countered the massive wave with his own. He knew his power wasn't nearly enough to cancel out the blast but he had decided to fight, not sat idly on the sidelines!
Then something unexpected happened.
The powers collided in stalemate, melting into one big mix of two magics: purple and icy black, forming a maelstrom, battling with each other. The great swirl expanded in size and the streaks of raw powers were only thin lines sliced between one another. Goku gaped. That was not the reaction he had expected. Just what was going on?
" What... what is this...?" Frieza asked confused, pouring more power to the weird phenomenon. In his nearly thousand-year lifespan he had never encountered something like this. His ruby eyes narrowed and tail lashed in irritation and he canceled the spell.
They were all forced to shield their eyes from the blinding light that exploded like a volcano in front of their eyes. A huge pillar of light shot upwards; completely demolishing and obliterating the castle above the dungeon. The ground shook and the stone structures cracked loudly from the pulse of the magic that beat them mercilessly to the ground as debris fell all around the little group in the dungeon.
ChiChi yelped and dug her fingers onto the floor to keep steady as the floor bounced and shook under her, her weakened state not helping any. Everything weighted her down as the gravity suddenly seemed ten times heavier that the normal. She faintly could see that everybody else was also struggling to stand up and just as shocked as she was. Goku and the Ancient were on the floor too crouching and looking at the pillar, their self-erected shields fending off the falling rocks and broken beams.
With one final impulse the pressure gave one mighty shove before the effect was reversed. Now everything floated and was light; like the gravity had been just canceled; removed from the existence. ChiChi watched in wonder as small pebbles floated up and she was weightless with them. It was the most peculiar feeling she had ever encountered.
The white pillar of light used all the energy and collapsed within itself blowing the rest of the grand castle and its occupants to death's door. For a moment it formed a flickering dome above the ruined castle then it dispersed into small shards and rained down, vanishing as the pieces touched the ground.
And the gravity existed once more.
Goku managed land on his feet, staggering little at the unsure footing, turning his blazing and questioning eyes on the white lizard being not so far from him, floating in the air with blank expression. Three 'oomphfs' sounded behind him as Vegeta, ChiChi and Bulma landed not so gracefully on their butts and backs.
No word were needed as the two vampires lunged at each other, bathing in the light of their magic. The sky was dark above, decorated with dark clouds. It was night and the fresh and chilly night air cooled down their bodies. A crack echoed in the still night as magic met magic in the sky, illuminating the wilderness landscape.
The vampire youth and the Ancient floated in the air, supported by their dark powers, measuring one another; weaknesses, strong points, anything that could turn to their own advantage. Goku sucked in breath heavily and slowly, feeling the bubbling of the magic in his veins and was astounded at the reserves of it he had inside him. It felt like he could go on forever! The way the powers collided and acted towards each other was weird too. Master's magic was so much more advanced and greater than his own, but it was still holding steadily against the white tyrant's attacks.
New confidence rising in him, he allowed a smirk to grace his face. Frieza scowled in response at the cockiness of the man.
" So... how are you going to beat me to the ground now, bastard?" Goku hissed at him mockingly and the lord stayed silent for heart beats of time.
" You were my greatest creation ever, Messenger, but also the greatest mistake."
" Enough with the mystery bullshit! Fight, you piece of shit! I have a fish to catch with you and blood to owe you!" the younger vampire cried out angrily, not liking this mistake talk at all. He had a chance, though he didn't know how great or bad, to get rid of the one being that had ruined his life and made it partly the unpleasant life it had was he intended to take it!
Frieza's face twisted and he screamed a high-pitched shriek and attacking head on, chanting the spell. Goku narrowly dodged and began fighting back. Spells and counter-spells were exchanged along with negating enchantments or binding magic. Thunder cracked and ozone was smelt in the air along with burnt flesh from numerous wounds the two were inflicting, hoping for upper hand.
Underneath them the trio picked themselves up from the ruins, only slightly scratched. Vegeta was cursing profusely and Bulma whined about the cut in her forehead and how it was giving her a headache. ChiChi sat on the ground, looking up. The she turned her head to Vegeta's direction, who was reluctant on being helped by Bulma.
" Vegeta. Why it is that Goku is his greatest mistake? What does he mean by that?"
Vegeta looked up for a moment before painfully leaning against a huge boulder fallen from above. He crossed his arms. " The same reason I didn't let him heal me through his magic is why he and the lizard are in even..."
" What?"
" He's not a normal vampire by any means. His heart beats, he's warm and he bleeds and more importantly he still has a smallest fragment of his old soul left in him. Normally vampires are soulless living beings that need blood to convert it into energy to keep alive in the mortal realm; no bleeding, no heart, no inborn bodily warmth generated. No soul. What I know is that the master himself bit him intentionally to make him his vassal and that turned out to be his mistake. The boy managed to clung to one tiny piece of his humanity, not succumbing him into total darkness, allowing him to have some dignity and human left in him. That's only part of the problem for before he was bitten he was pure of heart. A greatest mistake vampire can make is to bite a pure-hearted human, as rare as they are, and turn him into a vampire.
A vampire with a soul manipulates subconsciously magic differently than others, resulting in the bizarre reactions while colliding. It also allows them not to be harmed by slayers' holy powers or weapons as they still have a soul with a pure heart. No matter how bad and dirty your mind is, it doesn't change your heart.
He simply dug his own grave and demise by believing he could control such powerful creature to his liking. Not only recently did the lizard notice what a terrible mistake he made by letting the brat live that day...
What now adds to Messenger's power is your blood, slayer. A blood of a good and holy slayer even without the holy magic is a powerful enhancer; the power though not at your use is still in your blood and soul, now aiding him. If he had healed me while powered by half-holy and half-dark the result would have been extremely painful on my part and killed me in the spot... now if he only could touch that damn freak... that's the only thing the bastards is relaying on..." Vegeta finished gazing at the dark sky, the two combatants locked into battle of wisdom.
" Touch him...?" Bulma queried her brow furrowed.
" Yes, the same as the healing. Physical contact from a holy person is far worse than a spell... though he himself doesn't know it!"
" It is? He doesn't?" ChiChi stated deadpanned and Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Dear Lucifer... how much you slayers have lost of your knowledge along the years..." he muttered. " But for now, we can only hope..."
" If Son-kun is strange for a vampire what that makes you then? You're not the stereotypical evil blood-sucking bastards either..." Bulma smirked and Vegeta pointedly ignored her. ChiChi was still feverishly absorbing the information Vegeta had just given and trying to keep her mind on the battle. Her emotions becoming even more jumbled as she watched on. Goku, a pure innocent soul, made a master's puppet once ago?
Up in the sky the straining battle continued and Goku panted in exhaustion but so was the lord and readier another spell. He was running out of tricks and spells to cast and his ex-master still seemed to have a whole bunch up his sleeve.
" Naw... becoming tired,slave?" the white ice lord taunted, smirking widely at the boy before him.
" Shut up!" Goku snapped back irritated.
" Me? Shut up? If I remember correctly it's I who's the master and ruler here, Messenger. And I reckon you're running out of magic and spells... how sad and inconvenient on your part... mistakes must be corrected, don't you agree?"
A burning glare was his answer.
" Ouch... harsh!" Frieza mocked, leering widely at the enraged man floating little away, " What are you going to do about this all? Throwing one of your pathetic curses and hexes at me? Accept the facts, boy! I am going to win this one! The your little friends will suffer! You hear me! Suffer!" he laughed manically, the voice chilling the environment.
Goku's body tensed.
" Oh yes! I will rip them to pieces! Especially that dark-haired slayer bitch! Just imagine it: after hours of torturing illusions I'll wake her up only to make her nightmares reality by raping her, tearing her apart from inside! And maybe I'll rape her some more! She's is a delicious virgin after all!"
" Sh...SHUT... UP!" Goku bellowed.
" Why? Scared that your little bitch will enjoy it! Ah! What a thought! Rape her but make her willing and learn her to love it..." the lizard smirked so pervertedly that Goku almost vomited. Horror images run wildly in his mind's eye, rising his pulse and anger to new heights! ChiChi was his and none, absolutely none, would hurt her like that!
" The say goodbye to them... HYAH!" the lord cried suddenly, ready to launch the killing curse of total annihilation.
" NO!" the young vampire cried and rushed forwards and decked the white creatures square in the jaw. The blow sent him reeling back, his jaw smoking and burnt to crisp. The sudden pain he had not felt in hundreds of years made the lord lose his concentration on the spell and it was left loose. Uncontrolled magic flew around, snapping and detonating randomly in different directions. Greatest charge sprung into nearby forest, burning the trees and turning them into small columns of fire, burning away their existence; very essence.
Goku watched in terror, his self-confidence crumbling. If that blast had hit...! Burning flesh away; eating it like pack of starved wolves; the very essence of your being devoured in minutes. Not even a soul was left if you were hit with that attack .Obviously they had moved up a notch or two in calibre.
He gulped loudly. The smoke cleared away, revealing the battered form of the Ancient and Goku gasped in shock. His jaw was burnt into a brown crisp, charred and smoking; blood seeping from it. The skin around it was red and blistered and pus matted the wound. White bone glistened thru in some places and his teeth were exposed grotesquely. Goku backed away in shock and disgust. Was he hit by his own attack and loose magic?
The Master grimaced in pain, making the injury look even more vile, a hint of fear entering his cold and unfeeling eyes.
It was me! Goku realized with a start of disbelief. It was him! The horrible mark on his face was made by his own hand! He didn't bother thinking how as wicked grin split his lips and the lord floated just slightly further.
" I see now... this is why I am a mistake... not that I think of it. I never actually touched any other vampires nor they me expect Vegeta, but at that time I wasn't yet this 'good'..." he mused, measuring carefully his adversary's expression of fear. " It's because I am your extremely potential down fall, isn't it Frieza?"
The tyrant was silent, but Goku didn't expect him to say anything.
With enraged scream he attacked and delivered another punch to the lord stomach, gliding through his shield like water, resulting in the same kind of result as before. A painful burnt scar.
Goku smirked as the only sound was agony-filled and defeated cry that echoed in the mountain range for long.
