As
they flew up through the door in the ceiling and landed at the next
"battlefield," General Inferno was waiting for them, looking
rather pissed off.
"How did you do it? How did you manage to
kill the 4 greatest Changelings since Lord Frieza himself!" barely
able to contain himself as he looked like exploding in a fit of
rage.
"Well….." Goku taunted, "you all just weren't that
strong I guess!"
It seemed as though this final comment had put
Inferno over the edge, he yelled out at the top of his lungs and let
his full power explode.
There was a massive dust cloud as the
commotion subsided. A breeze blew it away to reveal the Z Fighters
flying in mid-air; Inferno had destroyed the entire castle.
Dropping
down and landing on the ground below them, the remaining Humans and
Saiyans just stood, amazed at the destructive force of Inferno.
"I…I
can't believe his power" trembled Goku.
"Heads up dad!"
yelled out Gohan, Goku managed to jump out of the way just in time as
a small ki blast impacted where he had just been.
Everyone watched
as Inferno touched down and stood watching, waiting, sly grin on his
face.
" this!" yelled out one of the Saiyans and charged
towards him. Inferno just shifted his weight as the grin on his face
slowly grew.
Vegeta
rushed towards Inferno, transforming into SSj3 and adding an extra
burst of speed, charging ahead. Fist drawn back Inferno readied
himself to block the oncoming attack, waiting for it, but it never
came! Spinning around wildly searching for Vegeta, he was suddenly
off his feet and in the air as Vegeta had sweep kicked the legs from
out under him, followed with and elbow to the face, sending him
crashing into the ground.
Leaving no room for respite, the Saiyan
Prince started charging up and let loose a barrage of ki blast
volleys.
Slowly being forced back into the sky from the sheer
force of the energy he was throwing, Vegeta suddenly stopped and put
one arm out in front of himself.
"Heh, some challenge you were,
imbecile…..BIG BANG ATTACK!"
A stream of energy rocketed
towards the ground and impacted, cloaking the area in dust, and
leaving the Z Fighters pondering what was going to happen
next.
"" thought Vegeta, "I used up a lot of energy in
that attack, he better be hurt."
Suddenly, a deep booming laugh
cut through the dust and pierced the ears of our heroes.
An
unworldly noise was coming from Inferno as he walked through the
settling dust-cloud to reveal an arm blown off, but the wound was
wriggling and squelching.
Then, unexpectedly, something jumped out
of the wound and then an arm shot forth to replace the lost
one.
"What the !" yelled out Vegeta, as a miniature clone
of Vegeta was standing there, in his SSj3 state.
"How in the
world did he do that dad?" Gohan asked Goku, watching rather warily
from the sidelines.
Inferno just chuckled to himself, "Ahh you
see, I'm not your ordinary foe, while regeneration isn't the most
common gift, there is something else different about me…you hurt
me, then you hurt yourself!"
"What do you mean!" Vegeta
snapped back at him, "Hurry and tell me before I kill you!"
Another
chuckle to himself before replying, "Well…if I get injured in a
fight and I'm left with an open wound, my body will create a copy
of whoever did it to me, and then deploy the, uh "clone" before
regenerating!"
"No way!" Trunks yelled from the sidelines,
"Dad can't fight Inferno and that clone of himself, he'll be
killed!"
"Don't worry Trunks, let Vegeta fight, he's a
lot stronger now" Goku replied, all the while intensely studying
Inferno.
"" Vegeta thought to himself, as the mini-him
started advancing, "I don't even know how powerful this bloody
thing is, better be careful."
His train of thought was
interrupted however as the clone rushed towards him, and then
abruptly stopping in front of Vegeta, giving him a sly grin the clone
threw his hands out in front and yelled out….."FINAL FLASH!"
""
Vegeta though, reacting just in time, managing to IT out of the way
and above his clone.
He started pummelling his clone from above,
drilling him through the ground. Nobody could see what was happening,
until the whole planet started rumbling and a bright light was being
emitted from the hole in the ground. Next moment a stream of light
was pouring out of the hole into the sky, a figure bring forced by it
further and further back into the atmosphere.
The beam finally
exploded in a massive array of sparks and light.
Everybody had
their breath held for who would emerge victorious out of the
cavernous hole.
Another bright light started shining as a bright
gold figure rose up quickly and shot a blast down towards…..General
Inferno!
"Yeah alright!" yelled out Trunks, "Dad must've
killed that cheap knock-off of himself!"
Inferno leapt into the
air and shot a ki blast of his own towards Vegeta.
The two then
let loose a barrage of blasts on each other, every small ki blast was
gathering up into a large one between the two, when the edge of the
blasts were almost touching one another Inferno stopped firing blasts
and sped around behind Vegeta, catching him unawares.
"Have a
nice time…in hell!" he yelled out, firing a massive energy wave
out of his two hands, pinning Vegeta between Inferno's beam and the
massive ball of ki behind them.
"Please! Somebody help me!"
Vegeta was screaming out, "AHHH TRUNKS!" he yelled as Inferno
upped the ante and obliterated the Saiyan Prince. There was a massive
explosion as the two attacks melded together and wiped out every last
trace of the warrior.
"HAHAHA!" Inferno boomed out, "he
never stood a chance!"
Trunks exploded in rage and transformed ,
bursting off towards Inferno.
"Trunks wait up!" yelled out
Goten as he blasted off as well, transforming on the way.
The two,
now USSj3 grinded to a halt just before Inferno.
"Stay calm
Trunks, as long as we remember out training we can't lose."
"Sure
thing Goten, let's do this!"
The two teenage super warriors
powered to up to their max, lightning was now circulating the both of
them, green jagged bolts crackling merrily.
With no warning, the
two shot a blast forth in unison at the Changeling.
Swatting one
away with each hand he charged forward, menacing grin on his face,
teeth bared.
Punching Trunks in the face, sending him sailing away
to the right, followed by a kick to Goten's abdomen, sending him
off to the left, Inferno let out a small ki blast in both their
directions.
"Just a little bit more" Goten thought to himself,
watching the blast come closer and closer. Just before impact he
yelled out, "Now Trunks!'
A yell of "Kamehameha" and
"Galick Gun!" was heard from each of the youngsters, as a bright
blue wave erupted from Goten's hands, a purple one from
Trunks'.
The two beams overwhelmed the ki blasts Inferno had
thrown, eyes open wide in surprise Inferno could do nothing as he
watched the two waves crash into him from each side, creating a
massive explosion.
When
the dust settled, the two teenagers were panting heavily, scanning
for signs of Inferno.
"I'm up here," came a cold voice from
above the two warriors.
He was floating above them, menacing,
upturned grin on his face. There was a few scratches over him, but
nothing major. Teeth bared he loomed down on them, slowing drifting
downwards to bring himself level with the two.
"What should we
do Trunks?" Goten whispered out the side of his mouth.
"Remember
that new move we practiced in the RoSaT?" replied Trunks, clenching
his fists as his aura burst up into the sky.
"Haha, oh right,
that one!" Goten happily exclaimed, his aura also shooting
upwards.
With one last look at each other, then a nod, the two
shot towards Inferno.
Trunks swept out the legs from Inferno,
then Goten followed up by driving his elbow into Inferno's
off-balance head.
Trunks then kicked Inferno away across the
terrain. Goten raced along with him, flashing a cheeky grin before
giving an extra burst of speed to get in front of Inferno. Timing it
to perfection and dropping under him just in time, Goten managed to
firmly implant his knee into the small of Inferno's back, sending
him shooting towards the starry sky.
Both teens then burst up
as fast and high as tho could go, waiting for Inferno. A speck was
coming at them fast, Goten catching it in his arms and holding the
figure still.
Trunks started laying into Inferno, lightning fast
punches and kick leaving indentations all over his body. Goten then
threw him to Trunks who held him and let the other USSj3 let loose a
flurry of physical attacks.
After one hell of a beating Goten held
Inferno in a bear-hug and started to fly down back to the surface as
fast as he could.
Trunks on the other hand waited up in the sky,
closing his eyes and putting both his hands in front of him.
His
body stared to bulk and the lightning surrounding his aura was
crackling louder than ever, jumping all round his body, licking at
the surrounding environment.
Meanwhile Goten and Inferno were
quickly approaching the ground, "Wow, awesome, they could do this!"
Gohan cried out.
Suddenly there was a huge crash as Goten had spun
off and let Inferno impact with the ground.
Looking up at Trunks,
urgently screaming out, "Now Trunks!"
Everybody turned their
gaze up towards him, shocked looks crossing all their faces. He had
bulked up crazily big and there was so much electricity it looked
like a livewire was charging up in the sky.
His eyes lost all
their colour and he screamed out, "FINAAAAL…..FLAAAAASH!"
A
huge beam spewed forth out of his hands and he was propelled back a
few feet from the sheer force of the blast.
Inferno could just be
seen clambering his way out of the colossal hole in the ground as the
blast connected and distorted his facials into an expression of
pain
A loud explosion…and a bright light.
