Chapter Four - The Dragon hovered before them. Tein stared with awe. Yamcha
was smirking. He waited for the Dragon to form and then rose into the air
before it.
"Dragon!" he yelled.
"Speak your first wish and it shall be granted!!" Shenron boomed, shaking the earth.
"I wish that you empower us with whatever force possible to allow us to become stronger than a Super Saiyan!" Tein blurted. Shenron channeled his infinite magic to forge the certain spell. They shook with a black-blue aura erupting around them. Their power levels jumped to beyond imagination. He flared their newfound might and watched as their bodies bulged as muscles built upon more muscles. Lightning from all across the spectrum pulsed in every direction imaginable. Tein laughed with excitement.
"This is awesome, Tein! We could take anyone on with this power!" Yamcha laughed ecstatically.
"No. Not yet anyways. Krillin is still stronger as a Legendary Super Saiyan. Just barely. And Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, that Eidolon kid, and even Piccolo's still stronger," Tein shook his head. "The Time Chamber! We can use it to train."
"Imagine the looks on the others' faces once we step out onto the Kai Planet as the most powerful beings in the universe!" Yamcha laughed, flexing a fist. Lightning pulsed as he gathered energy. He released the ki blast and watched as an island in the middle of a nearby lake sunk in on itself. "That was with ease, man! Wicked! Let's get going!"
"SPEAK NOW! WHAT IS YOU'RE SECOND WISH!" Shenron roared, shaking the whole of Earth with his booming voice.
"I almost forgot! The second wish!" Yamcha said.
"What should the wish be?" Tein asked., checking out his body.
"Dragon! No more wishes for now!" Yamcha said suddenly. Shenron blazed into a brilliant gold and vanished. The Dragonballs scattered. With that, they blasted off with more speed than any human ever could have. Or should have.
~~~~~~~~~~ Kai Planet ~~~~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaaahhh!" Goku cried as he tried to force Legendary Super Saiyan Krillin back. He limited himself down to a Super Saiyan 2 level of strength and was still deadlocked. Krillin forced the stone to put out more energy and watched as Goku slid backwards across the ground.
"I HAVE YOU! HAAAAAA!" Krillin cried as he re-flared his aura in a blazing torrent of gold. Lightning sputtered upward around the 2 fighters as Goku strained to hold up his end of the battle.
"He's overpowering..." Vegeta said in shock. He rubbed his chin in thought.
"Goku, I know. The Saiyan Stone has made Krillin into something that makes even Goku look weak," Shin laughed softly.
"You're lucky my mother didn't here you say that," Gohan laughed.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Krillin overpowered Goku completely and forced the Super Saiyan 2 back. Goku spun to the left, bringing up his leg for a swift and powerful kick. Krillin caught the Saiyan's ankle, stopping the blow dead. Goku looked shocked. Krillin headhunted the warrior hard, sending him crashing into a few trees. Goku got back up and powered up. He ascended to Super Saiyan 3 almost like a reflex. Krillin attacked regardless, swayed by the ecstasy of the Saiyan Stone's magic. Goku blocked every blow with ease. He noted that Krillin's power level was still rising to the challenge.
This isn't natural, Goku said. How can he possibly generate that much power on his own? Super Saiyan power of any kind is supposed to enhance the Saiyan's natural strengths. Krillin can't possibly have that much natural talent, can he? Or is it the original Saiyan's power that Krillin's tapping? And is that's the case, how? Did he store his power as well as the Super Saiyan essence in the Stone or what? What gives?! Goku could answer none of these questions. He flared his aura, spiking his ki. He spun to block Krillin's swipe. He elbowed the Saiyan human in the gut. Krillin simply appeared to absorb the blow.
"Just like Brolly. He's absorbing every blow like it has no effect on him whatsoever! How can this pathetic excuse of a warrior possibly wield the crown-jewel power of the Saiyan race with such ease! He's better at than we Saiyans are!" Vegeta erupted. He watched as Krillin slipped beneath Goku's kick and uppercut the older warrior hard in the face. Goku's head snapped upward but nothing more. Goku powered up to maximum strength and knocked Krillin out with a single swipe of his hand. The Saiyan Stone dulled again and Krillin slowly faded from being a Legendary Super Saiyan to normal. His power level the same as it should've been without the stone. Goku powered down and landed back on the earth. Vegeta appeared beside Krillin in a flash and unsnapped the Saiyan Stone from the human's neck. He stared into the depths of that crystal for a time then grunted.
"What is it, Vegeta?" Goku asked, joining his friend and rival.
"If this thing can allow a human, a PATHETIC HUMAN, hold there own against a Super Saiyan of ANY level then imagine... Imagine what it could do for a pure Saiyan!" Vegeta said excitedly. His own dark self coming slowly back a bit. He felt the rush of excitement he hadn't felt since first becoming a Super Saiyan. He strapped the chain around his neck and closed his eyes. He took a powering up stance and smirked.
"No Vegeta!" Shin warned. Too late!
"HHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the Saiyan Prince cried. He stormed into Super Saiyan 3 in an instant. "AIYU-STISTE SHUNT SASCULAS, FARYAN ZAIST HYE TIL TYRANTAS!"
"What's this?" Gohan gasped.
"FOR THY HEART I ASK AGAIN, FOR THE MIGHT OF CADAGAN!" Vegeta roared, translating what he said a second before from Saiyan to English. The Stone flared to life and a torrent flooded the air around Vegeta. His hair and his aura blared brighter than the Earth's sun! They were forced to look away.
"He's impossible!" Shin cried.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Vegeta laughed darkly as his power flooded out of control. Krillin awoken to see Vegeta powering up.
"Is he crazy!? He'll die!" the short human warned. He charged his aura into a bright silver barrier for protection against the impossible intensity of Vegeta. Vegeta flashed a final time, his aura covered an area 10 feet around him. He was now even stronger then Vegito at Super Saiyan 2. He hovered there, a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 or a Super Saiyan 3, Legend Empowered. His power level was blazing beyond anything they had ever felt before. Vegeta sustained the form with ease. The Stone seemed to provide all of the energy needed. Vegeta was sustaining Legend Empowered Super Saiyan 3 as though he were in his natural state instead.
"Vegeta?" Goku said, walking forward.
"I am Vegeta no more! I am Galaphile Cadagan! I am back! After 10,000 years!! May this universe suffer!" the new being said with Vegeta's voice.
"We'll stop you!" Gohan yelled. The Legend laughed.
"You guys ready?" Goku asked. They all took their stance. Fat Buu, Shin, and Krillin were joining the Saiyans. Gohan attacked suddenly. He tapped into his Mystic power and flooded it through his system. His power level was at maximum in seconds. Eidolon came running up out of nowhere, wings flared, battle ready. He tapped into his Darkness Flame and sent it erupted upward around him. He and Gohan were the strongest there next to Galaphile/Vegeta. Gohan came sweeping in at maximum speed. He kicked at the Legend's side and watched he was he countered and blocked with ease. Eidolon sent a barrage of ki blasts each powerful enough to destroy the entire planet if allowed to into Galaphile's face. The Legend absorbed the blows head on, taking no heed. Goku, Super Saiyan 3, attacked from the front. Interested in fighting an actual Super Saiyan, they clashed hand-to- hand combat. Shockwaves echoed throughout the planet as they rocked each other. Gohan knew Goku couldn't hold his own that long. He and Eidolon attacked from the rear, Kamehameha Wave and a Syphon Shock Wave. The Legend felt the blast that time and spun, out of control of his rage. He recognized a Crystallite and laughed. He attacked wildly. Eidolon took the brunt of the damage while Gohan was allowed to hammer the giant from above. Galaphile blocked Gohan's last blow and sent a ki blast with 12 times the energy needed to kill the Mystic. Gohan barely saw it coming and watched as he was blown to dust. The others freaked at the death of Gohan.
~~~~~~~~~~ Sacred Garden ~~~~~~~~~~
"That battle's intense!" Videl said. Old Kai was done with the dance and was now sitting before the beautiful Earth girl, hands raised, focusing the Kai magic into the warrior at heart.
"Be still. They are trained to take care of themselves. Fear not for their safety," Old Kai replied. He sounded shaky though and unconfident. He sensed Gohan's power level vanish from the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~ Palace Gates ~~~~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaahhhh!" Goku cried as he continued to hammer the Legend with his Kamehameha Wave. The giant was forced back as Goku's rage fueled his beam "SUPER KAIOKEEEEEEN!!!" he cried, enhancing his might further still. Galaphile began to wonder if Goku wasn't a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 as well. Goku finished his attack by doubling his power once again. Galaphile struck the dirt. Goku fell back, drained. Galaphile came at him hard and fast. Eidolon appeared in a flash, standing before the Saiyan warrior.
"DARKNESS BLIGHT! RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The Crystallite cried. A wave of crashing Darkness swept forward, destroying everything in its path. It was the Crystallite's final attack and his best. Galaphile was hammered hard as he caught the blow with both palms up. He realized it was too strong as he began throwing him back.
"NO WAY!" the Legend roared.
"YOU KILLED MY FRIEND! YOU KILLED MY PEOPLE! NOW DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Eidolon erupted. He flared his wings wide and powered his blast further.
Galaphile tapped into Vegeta's mind and found an acceptable attack. He smirked and licked his lips. What an excellent body I have taken! His attacks are powerful and his body can take quite a pounding!
"FINAL SHINE WAAAAAAAVE!" Galaphile laughed as he sent the torrent of power crashing forward. Eidolon's Darkness Blight was sent crashing backwards. The blasts were dead even. The Crystallite was tapping his heart and soul. Only 14 and taking a Legendary Super Saiyan 3!
"Why did you kill my people you coward! They were more noble than to be slaughtered like that! You are a coward! A pussy weakling that deserved to die!" Eidolon cried.
"They died because they were worthless! They died because I needed target practice!" the Legend laughed.
"They were worth more than you or your kind will ever be!!!" Eidolon raged.
"Now feel my power! FUSION ENGINE IGNITE!" Galaphile laughed evilly as he used Vegeta's ki fusion technique to augment the power of his Final Shine Wave. "FINAL FLASH!" he cried as he fired the blast into the Final Shine, combining them as one. Eidolon's blast was forced backward and he nearly faltered.
"Eidolon! You cannot give in! Reach down into yourself and find that magic that fuels you! That fuels your soul! Fight it, Eidolon! Fight him or we're all dead!" Shin cried.
"I won't let you die! RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Eidolon snapped. He sent more Darkness crashing forward and sent the opposing blast back causing a deadlock once more. It was the Cell Games all over again. Gohan tied dead with Cell who had come back from the dead stronger than ever.
"It's not his magic that fuels this blast! It's his heart, Supreme Kai! His emotions are what's keeping his powered up right now! It's just like Gohan's Hidden Power! The more he was put into a situation that was so unfair and beyond his control, he'd snap, powering up into an unstoppable force," Goku said suddenly.
"Then how can we get him the reach this power?" Shin grunted.
"DO YOU LIKE DEATH, CRYSTALLITE!!! WATCH THE GRIM HORRORS OF YOUR END! JUST LIKE THE SAIYAN I KILLED NOT EVEN SECONDS AGO!" Galaphile laughed. Eidolon faltered. Galaphile sent the rest of his strength crashing forward. Ragnarok's blast was nearly taken out all together. He was barely sustaining a fourth the ground it held before.
"You killed the best friend I ever had! YOU BASTARD! YOU DIE NOW!" Eidolon cried, tears flowing from his eyes. He collapsed his Darkness Blight Wave and flipped over the Final Shine Wave/Final Flash mix that was empowered by Vegeta's Ki Fusion Engine. The mix Vegeta liked to call the Armageddon Hammer.
"You're alive. Phenomenal. You're power level's weak. What do I possibly have to fear?" Galaphile laughed. His ki read still at over 3 fourths maximum.
"By the final attack! This one I just discovered by tapping the magic deep within me! PREPARE TO DIE!" Eidolon cried. He regenerated back up to full health and brought his power level back up to a little over 2 thirds. He simply depleted too much to restore himself to maximum. He pointed one palm at Vegeta's body and focused. The look of sadness and desperation and the tears long gone. "I Summon you..." Eidolon whispered. He gathered his magic and ki and forced himself into a serene state of mind.
"He's going to! No he can't! Guys we need to clear out now! This solar system is as good as gone! Move!" Shin cried. He blasted off. The others followed slowly.
"What is it, Supreme Kai?" Goku asked.
"It's the most ancient attacks we Kais used to gain our control over the heavens! The only attack strong enough to beat the Demons of the Darkness! Arborlan's Leviathan!" Shin whispered. He was dark and grim, already missing his world.
"Can it beat Galaphile?" Krillin demanded.
"Galaphile's death is guaranteed! As is the death of all of Other-World!" Shin yelled darkly. "RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried.
"His power is waning! He no can do it!" Fat Buu said in his child-like way.
"Buu focus your magic with mine! We need to give him this power!" Supreme Kai said. They both combined their magic and focused dead on the Crystallite warrior, the last of his kind.
"I HAVE WHAT I NEED! FROM THE SANDS OF STRATAGON AND BY THE LORDS OF Lysaron and by the shores of Arborlan, come out my beast Leviathan! RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried out deeper than anything ever heard by the universe before him. His aura roared like a demon dragon and blue and purple lightning gathered and pulsed around him. His ki and magic levels off the charts.
"What is he doing?!!" Galaphile said, very afraid. The head of a serpent was forged from pure black Darkness. Eidolon empowered the serpent dragon with all of his heart and soul with the Darkness Flames as well as his Darkness Blight Wave.
"He's too much!" Shin whispered.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Eidolon cried out in darkness. He sent the Beast Leviathan crashing forward with everything he had. The World of the Kais trembled and quaked apart slowly as the Dragon flamed forward, roaring with an ethereal growl that would make even the ancient dragons of Earth cower. Galaphile cried out as he was hammered hard. He was thrown back as his very soul and body was being burnt to ash. Vegeta along with Galaphile were blown to dirt as the Beast Leviathan pulsed through him. The attack continued to burn around in the air, withering like the snake of Darkness it was. His power was still enough to kill Galaphile 1000 fold. The Beast then faded, crying out his last cry as it died again. Eidolon dropped to his knees and gathered his magic again. He casted the spell he began earlier secretly. Vegeta formed from nearly nothing with the Saiyan Stone intact through the Crystallite's regenerative might. Eidolon collapsed, fading fast from the World of Lightar Life to the Shadows of Darkness Death. Shin used the healing powers he got from Kavito after they had fused long ago. He poured every bit of ki and magic he had left in order to restore the warrior. Fat Buu knelt low and generated 1000 times the magic the Kai was in a healing spell of his own. The Crystallite's body began to convulse as they struggled to keep him stable.
"Eidolon..." Goku whispered the hero's name. They felt as Ragnarok's life- force faded slowly. Their healing magic only prolonged his agony of a slow death.
"HHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" came a cry as a thick beam of blue water-like might of magic pulsed into the Kai, Buu, and more importantly, Eidolon. The Kai and Buu were restored to full magical and physical health. They realized they were draining the magic and dodged away. Eidolon convulsed again as the beam focused cleanly on him alone and tripled in intensity 50 fold. The bruises, cuts, and scrapes closed and healed as the Crystallite's life- force began to grow. The Crystallite stood, reborn.
"Gohan..." he whispered as his friend landed before him with a smile. Eidolon hugged his friend and asked how he was alive.
"I regenerated like you did before when your body was destroyed. I am not sure how it happened because I wasn't even conscious of the fact I had the ability. I watched the entire battle from afar until I was restored enough to intervene," Gohan laughed. Vegeta ripped the Saiyan Stone from his neck and went to stomp on it. It vanished before his foot ever twitched.
"What?" the Prince yelled. Gohan had the relic in his hand. He handed it back to Krillin.
"When I was hit earlier, my Mystic magic responded strangely. I was able to see right into Galaphile's mind like I was able to see into Vegeta and Eidolon's minds a while ago when they first met... I'm sure how but when I did it before I 'died' I saw that it was Galaphile's plan to store his power into the Amethyst along with his mind and soul. Once he died, he would wait in the Stone for a pure blooded Saiyan to activate the Stone's magic. Then he would take over that Saiyan. Only another Legendary Super Saiyan could've stood a chance from being taken over. If Krillin or any non- Saiyan wield the stone, it merely makes them a Legendary Super Saiyan. Nothing more. Galaphile can't take over because the magic needs a Saiyan soul to make the transaction work right," Gohan said.
"The Mystic magic is changing in so many ways. Its hard to tell what'll happen next," Shin replied.
"I noticed. I can sense it changing. I can't tell what it'll do next... Like its unstable... It connected with this Kai Planet somehow..." Gohan said.
~~~~~~~~~~ Sacred Garden ~~~~~~~~~
"You're wasting my time, old man! Gohan's hurt and I need to help him!" Videl yelled, standing now.
"Calm down, child before...!" the Kai cried.
"HAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" she raged, a silver-blue aura ripped upward her in an intensity she never thought possible.
"Not again!" the Kai wined.
"HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Videl raged. His eyes were blazing a pure blue. Thick silver and blue lightning twisting around each other in thick tendrils that dug trenches deep into the ground. Her power level leveled as a blast of searing wind surged outward from her in all directions, blowing the old Kai back.
"Whoa," Gohan said as he arrived with the others to see what was happening. She looked down, wide-eyed with pure shock.
"Was all that power really mine?" she asked Gohan, shaky and even a bit afraid of what force she just sent crashing in all directions.
"Yeah. That was you. All by yourself," Gohan assured her even though he was still in disbelief.
"This is remarkable! I never thought I could get that strong..." she said. Old Kai cleared his throat loudly to get her attention.
"As phenomenal as that may have seemed, child, you are not finished with your training yet. That's merely a fourth of the power that exists inside you," he said.
"No way," she said, still in shock. She sat and watched as he repositioned himself, resuming the Mystic Ceremony. Gohan smiled.
"Wow. She might even get stronger than a..." Krillin began.
"A Super Saiyan 3? I doubt it," Eidolon said.
"Well they got that to do and we have training. You guys need rest so take it easy and help the Supreme Kai repair the damages done to the Courtyard. Vegeta and I are going to resume out training," Goku said, talking to Gohan and Eidolon. In truth Gohan and Eidolon were still in better than the pure Saiyans ever after an intense battle in which one nearly died and after regenerating from death itself. They began cleaning up the damages done Krillin fell back, wondering about the stone. He flared into Legendary Super Saiyan and felt the magic flood through him.
"It only works for non-Saiyans. It nearly cost Vegeta his life and his freedom. But I need it to stay strong enough to fight," he said to himself. He blasted upward into the air and resumed his training, determined to become stronger.
~~~~~~~ Earth ~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaaahhh!" Trunks cried as he sent all the power he could muster forward into his Final Flash. Goten's Kamehameha held strong and firm against Trunk's opposing blast.
"Goten's really improved," 18 mentioned.
"I know. He's already Trunk's equal. I guess it's save to say he inherited the Son family's talent for fighting," Piccolo replied with a nod.
"Take this, Goten!" Trunks struggled, pouring forth even more power.
"I won't let you beat me!" Goten yelled right back, sending more force of his own into his own blast. The beams of ki grew too powerful in such a crowed area and exploded. The whole of Kami's Lookout was rocked my the blast.
"Not bad, Goten," Trunks gasped for air.
"I can still beat you, Trunks!" Goten said, also out of breath.
"Nuh-uh!" Trunks yelled. He flew into a spinning kick which Goten ducked. Trunks spun swiftly again and connected his left boot with Goten's side. Goten was sent skidding across the tiles of the sanctuary's courtyard. Goten stood, angry. He flared into Super Saiyan with ease. Trunks was right behind him. They were still deadlocked in power.
"We need a tie breaker," Goten grumbled.
"Yeah and me kicking your butt will be all the tie breaker we need!" Trunks said. They clashed again, lightning spewing everywhere.
"How long until we break them up?" 18 wondered.
"When I giver the word," Piccolo replied. Goten blocked the last blow of Trunks and connected hard with his left fist. Trunks struck a pillar and slumped to the ground. He fell from Super Saiyan and struggled to his feet. Goten, also too exhausted to sustain Super Saiyan, returned to his normal state. Piccolo smirked.
"Go get a bath, you two," Chi Chi said. Bulma agreed.
"But mom" Goten objected.
"Goten! Obey your mother and get a bath now!" Chi Chi ordered. Goten frowned and walked into the main hall of the Lookout. Trunks followed. Piccolo flared his aura instantly.
"Ready?" he asked 18. She nodded, taking a stance. She vanished and appeared behind him. He blocked hard with his right forearm and then launched a punch straight into the beautiful android's face. 18 ducked swiftly and Piccolo responded with a kick too fast to see. 18 flipped over the attack and the whirled in midair to slam her own foot into Piccolo's head. The Namekian skidded forward across the deck. Android 18 landed and took a defensive stance. Piccolo vanished from the ground and appeared, punching an all out assault. 18 summoned all of her android abilities and clashed head to head with the Namek. They clashed hard and pressed their strength even harder. 18 sensed his power rising sharply above her own and responded with her speed and agility to compensate. Even after this, she struggled.
He's too much, she thought as he blocked every blow she attempted. I guess I'll have to use it.
"Hah!" she cried and kicked Piccolo back a few yards. She gathered her ki and closed her eyes.
"What the?! I can actually sense her ki now!" Piccolo cried.
"HAAAAAAAAHH!" 18 yelled as her power level rose exponentially. Piccolo threw his arms and legs out into a defensive stance. A solid black aura rimmed with red. Red and black lightning also flared freely. Her ki rivaled Piccolo's now and was still growing! "RRRAAAAAAAHHH!!!" she cried out a final time. Her pupils flamed a brilliant red as her smile darkened.
"No way," Piccolo gasped.
"What do you think, Piccolo?" she asked teasingly.
"What? it's a pretty light show, so what," Piccolo laughed. That's all it was. He knew he would have to seriously up his game now just to hold his own for a few minutes at a time!
"Really. You insult me. This is Ultima Storm. It's like the version 17 used called Omega Storm. it's the deepest of our android abilities that was kept secret from us because Gero was afraid of rebellion," she replied.
"You're stronger than Cell. Why would he weaken Cell by not making him aware of your Super Modes?" Piccolo wondered.
"Because of the same reason he didn't tell us. Cell was too ambitious. Gero found that out early from genetic testing," 18 said. Her voice was darker now. It echoed mystically like some kind of reverberation effect. Like there was more than one of her speaking at once. Red lightning crackled between her 2 fists as a bal of power pulsed to life.
"Argh!" Piccolo grunted and raised his defenses.
"Sundering Hellfire!" she yelled and released the bomb. The explosion was intense as Piccolo hovered above it. The heat was intense. The blast was powerful enough to blow him apart.
"Her techniques are far stronger than before.. This will be getting serious," Piccolo smirked. He threw off his weighted clothing. He flared his silver aura and powered up to full Super Namekian might.
"Cinder Storm," 18 laughed. Her aura blazed pure red like a Kaioken. The effect was greater. Her power level blazed even higher. Piccolo swept forward fast and hard. 18 brought her Ultima powers to bare as Piccolo attacked. She ducked his kick and kneed the Namek in the stomach. She hammered him hard in the back of the head with her elbow and watched as he skidded across the deck, digging a 3 foot deep trench. He grunted and got up. He regenerated his torn antennae and his right ear and attacked again. This time he landed the blow to her stomach and she heaved over a bit. He struck her hard right in the temple and she flew. He was on her like nothing.
Not bad! He countered everything I throw at him and comes back with some moves of his own! she thought quickly as he flipped over yet another kick.
"Sundering Hellfire!" she screamed as the stream of flames that made Pikkon's Thunder Flash Attack looked like child's play. Piccolo's right arm and most of that side of his head and torso was blown clear off. He channeled his natural powers and regenerated with ease. He blocked her next kick and head butted her hard in the forehead. She flew backwards, flipped and landed gracefully. Piccolo charged his Special Beam Cannon. He fired the blast with maximum power behind it. She took it hard and head on. She was knocked backwards with tremendous force to spar. Her outer clothing was blown clear off and she stood there after the smoked cleared only in her black under garments. Piccolo paid no heed to this and gathered more precious energy as fast as he could. She did the same. Her aura flared and blazed upward around her causing her perfect breasts to bounce slightly and her hair to sway as if by the wind. Red lightning pulsed horribly as she released her wrath. Piccolo came crashing it cold, hard, and fast. He was hammered around by her impossible and sudden boost of strength. She knocked him into the ground far below the Lookout and followed him down. Her power level leveled back off again, the boost fading. Piccolo emerged, Super Namekian aura blazing pure silver. He powered up his Hell-Zone Grenade and charged it into a ball of ki that surrounded his entire body.
"Easy, Piccolo. Barrier Field," the android laughed as she forged her android shield. Her field expanded and she empowered it and Piccolo's did the same. They clashed and they poured all of there power into it. Piccolo's shirt was incinerated and his skin singed as the opposing energy flowed into him. Android 18 was worse off. Her skin wasn't affected but her clothes were completely gone. She hovered there, naked but not seeming to notice. She sent the rest of her energy into the Barrier Field and watched as Piccolo collapsed his end. The explosion rocked her hard. He connected hard with his right elbow to the back of her neck. She dropped hard. Thinking she was out cold, Piccolo powered down. She moved before he could even react. She knocked him out with a single swipe of her arm. He dropped and she flew him to the Lookout and left again, landing in a town nearby. She entered the nearest store and watched as people stared and moved away from quite suddenly. She knew she was completely naked and didn't seem to care as she looked at some new clothes on the racks.
"This would go great with my new shoes. But then again the leather..." she said silently to herself. Then she was approached by mall security. She scared them off with a ki blast to the floor and resumed searching. Not even 10 minutes later she was interrupted again. She turned, furious and thinking it was the rent-a-cops again but found it was 2 fairly good looking men eyeing her down.
"Damn baby. How 'bout you let me tap that ass," the first man whistled. She was amused by all of this and decided to play with them a bid. She swayed her hips seductively and rubbed her breasts teasingly. Their jaws dropped.
"You want some of this?" she teased. They nodded stupidly. "Buy me these," she pleaded. Giving the sad face. They ripped out their credit cards faster than thought. They purchased the items an wrapped their arms around her waist, thinking they just scored.
"Get off," she warned suddenly.
"What?" they yelled. She need the man to her left hard in the balls, dropping him. The other man let go fast. She smirked flew off quickly. She returned to the Lookout wearing one of her new outfits. The other girls jealous.
~~~~~~~~~~ Kai Planet ~~~~~~~~~~
"Argh!" Gohan yelled, awakening and breathing hard. He found he couldn't sleep again. Something within him shifted and sparked crazily. He sensed the Mystic magic within him was restless from something. It shifted and flooded through him, eager for release. He sensed the magic of the planet itself shifting also.
What could it mean? he wondered. The door opened and Videl walked through it wearing only her under garments. She blushed and backed up a step.
"Gohan! What are you doing in here? I was told this was my room," she said.
"Who told you that?" Gohan asked, trying not to eye her like a pervert. It was very challenging, he realized. She smiled as she discovered what was going on.
"Shin and your dad. I think they did it on purpose," she said.
"Well since you're already here and everything..." he began. She crawled into bed beside him he wrapped her arms around her sleek and beautiful form. The magic within him was struggling to make him summon it. To use it. He forced it back down so he could sleep next to his lover. She kissed him and he kissed her back. She brought his hands up to her breast and laughed as he blushed when she ran his hand across her chest. He let go of his hand and found he was reluctant to move it on his own. She made her laugh. She felt him growing against her and reached low with his heft hand. He jerked when he felt her graceful hands running down him in a certain sensitive area. He grew harder still and she smiled. She let go and curled up warmly. His arms cradled her protectively and they both were asleep in seconds.
Well that was a bit longer than usual, no? But then again the chapter before this was shorter so the balance had to be settled somewhere, right? By the way I added the Legendary Super Saiyan Krillin thing because it's kind of funny and Krillin never gets recognized as much as he deserves. I wanted to keep him in the game and throw something comical out there at the same time so to speak. I'm sorry if some of you don't like it but that's your god-given choice and I respect that. I also respect the fact you guys take the time to submit your reviews. Please keep it up and tell me what you like and hate. And I thought about maybe warping it a bit and have Videl discover she was part Saiyan but I decided to save that for another story I have planned. If my chapters are too long or even (I doubt it though) too short, let me know in your reviews. And please know that your time and effort is really valued. My instructor in Ju-Jitsu taught me that there is a balance to everything. For all that is rich, there are those who are poor. For all that is evil, there is all that is good. Neither force actually overrides the other but balance out instead. For all that is liked, there is also those who dislike. I respect that way of thinking. Please let me know what you think.
Anyways - Next chapter - Gohan realized something is up and wants to know what. That's when Old Kai springs the bad news on him. Eidolon discovers something is wrong with his Darkness Flame and freaks out. Even Fat Buu sensed something wrong that his regenerative powers only seem to make worse. All this while Tein and Yamcha finally emerge, transformed and empowered. What is wrong with Gohan and Eidolon? And why is Tein and Yamcha so different and so interested in fighting Eidolon and Gohan? And what is happening to the Kai Planet that is causing all this changes. And are the changes for the better or only more trouble thanks to Kid Buu? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!
"Dragon!" he yelled.
"Speak your first wish and it shall be granted!!" Shenron boomed, shaking the earth.
"I wish that you empower us with whatever force possible to allow us to become stronger than a Super Saiyan!" Tein blurted. Shenron channeled his infinite magic to forge the certain spell. They shook with a black-blue aura erupting around them. Their power levels jumped to beyond imagination. He flared their newfound might and watched as their bodies bulged as muscles built upon more muscles. Lightning from all across the spectrum pulsed in every direction imaginable. Tein laughed with excitement.
"This is awesome, Tein! We could take anyone on with this power!" Yamcha laughed ecstatically.
"No. Not yet anyways. Krillin is still stronger as a Legendary Super Saiyan. Just barely. And Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, that Eidolon kid, and even Piccolo's still stronger," Tein shook his head. "The Time Chamber! We can use it to train."
"Imagine the looks on the others' faces once we step out onto the Kai Planet as the most powerful beings in the universe!" Yamcha laughed, flexing a fist. Lightning pulsed as he gathered energy. He released the ki blast and watched as an island in the middle of a nearby lake sunk in on itself. "That was with ease, man! Wicked! Let's get going!"
"SPEAK NOW! WHAT IS YOU'RE SECOND WISH!" Shenron roared, shaking the whole of Earth with his booming voice.
"I almost forgot! The second wish!" Yamcha said.
"What should the wish be?" Tein asked., checking out his body.
"Dragon! No more wishes for now!" Yamcha said suddenly. Shenron blazed into a brilliant gold and vanished. The Dragonballs scattered. With that, they blasted off with more speed than any human ever could have. Or should have.
~~~~~~~~~~ Kai Planet ~~~~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaaahhh!" Goku cried as he tried to force Legendary Super Saiyan Krillin back. He limited himself down to a Super Saiyan 2 level of strength and was still deadlocked. Krillin forced the stone to put out more energy and watched as Goku slid backwards across the ground.
"I HAVE YOU! HAAAAAA!" Krillin cried as he re-flared his aura in a blazing torrent of gold. Lightning sputtered upward around the 2 fighters as Goku strained to hold up his end of the battle.
"He's overpowering..." Vegeta said in shock. He rubbed his chin in thought.
"Goku, I know. The Saiyan Stone has made Krillin into something that makes even Goku look weak," Shin laughed softly.
"You're lucky my mother didn't here you say that," Gohan laughed.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Krillin overpowered Goku completely and forced the Super Saiyan 2 back. Goku spun to the left, bringing up his leg for a swift and powerful kick. Krillin caught the Saiyan's ankle, stopping the blow dead. Goku looked shocked. Krillin headhunted the warrior hard, sending him crashing into a few trees. Goku got back up and powered up. He ascended to Super Saiyan 3 almost like a reflex. Krillin attacked regardless, swayed by the ecstasy of the Saiyan Stone's magic. Goku blocked every blow with ease. He noted that Krillin's power level was still rising to the challenge.
This isn't natural, Goku said. How can he possibly generate that much power on his own? Super Saiyan power of any kind is supposed to enhance the Saiyan's natural strengths. Krillin can't possibly have that much natural talent, can he? Or is it the original Saiyan's power that Krillin's tapping? And is that's the case, how? Did he store his power as well as the Super Saiyan essence in the Stone or what? What gives?! Goku could answer none of these questions. He flared his aura, spiking his ki. He spun to block Krillin's swipe. He elbowed the Saiyan human in the gut. Krillin simply appeared to absorb the blow.
"Just like Brolly. He's absorbing every blow like it has no effect on him whatsoever! How can this pathetic excuse of a warrior possibly wield the crown-jewel power of the Saiyan race with such ease! He's better at than we Saiyans are!" Vegeta erupted. He watched as Krillin slipped beneath Goku's kick and uppercut the older warrior hard in the face. Goku's head snapped upward but nothing more. Goku powered up to maximum strength and knocked Krillin out with a single swipe of his hand. The Saiyan Stone dulled again and Krillin slowly faded from being a Legendary Super Saiyan to normal. His power level the same as it should've been without the stone. Goku powered down and landed back on the earth. Vegeta appeared beside Krillin in a flash and unsnapped the Saiyan Stone from the human's neck. He stared into the depths of that crystal for a time then grunted.
"What is it, Vegeta?" Goku asked, joining his friend and rival.
"If this thing can allow a human, a PATHETIC HUMAN, hold there own against a Super Saiyan of ANY level then imagine... Imagine what it could do for a pure Saiyan!" Vegeta said excitedly. His own dark self coming slowly back a bit. He felt the rush of excitement he hadn't felt since first becoming a Super Saiyan. He strapped the chain around his neck and closed his eyes. He took a powering up stance and smirked.
"No Vegeta!" Shin warned. Too late!
"HHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the Saiyan Prince cried. He stormed into Super Saiyan 3 in an instant. "AIYU-STISTE SHUNT SASCULAS, FARYAN ZAIST HYE TIL TYRANTAS!"
"What's this?" Gohan gasped.
"FOR THY HEART I ASK AGAIN, FOR THE MIGHT OF CADAGAN!" Vegeta roared, translating what he said a second before from Saiyan to English. The Stone flared to life and a torrent flooded the air around Vegeta. His hair and his aura blared brighter than the Earth's sun! They were forced to look away.
"He's impossible!" Shin cried.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Vegeta laughed darkly as his power flooded out of control. Krillin awoken to see Vegeta powering up.
"Is he crazy!? He'll die!" the short human warned. He charged his aura into a bright silver barrier for protection against the impossible intensity of Vegeta. Vegeta flashed a final time, his aura covered an area 10 feet around him. He was now even stronger then Vegito at Super Saiyan 2. He hovered there, a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 or a Super Saiyan 3, Legend Empowered. His power level was blazing beyond anything they had ever felt before. Vegeta sustained the form with ease. The Stone seemed to provide all of the energy needed. Vegeta was sustaining Legend Empowered Super Saiyan 3 as though he were in his natural state instead.
"Vegeta?" Goku said, walking forward.
"I am Vegeta no more! I am Galaphile Cadagan! I am back! After 10,000 years!! May this universe suffer!" the new being said with Vegeta's voice.
"We'll stop you!" Gohan yelled. The Legend laughed.
"You guys ready?" Goku asked. They all took their stance. Fat Buu, Shin, and Krillin were joining the Saiyans. Gohan attacked suddenly. He tapped into his Mystic power and flooded it through his system. His power level was at maximum in seconds. Eidolon came running up out of nowhere, wings flared, battle ready. He tapped into his Darkness Flame and sent it erupted upward around him. He and Gohan were the strongest there next to Galaphile/Vegeta. Gohan came sweeping in at maximum speed. He kicked at the Legend's side and watched he was he countered and blocked with ease. Eidolon sent a barrage of ki blasts each powerful enough to destroy the entire planet if allowed to into Galaphile's face. The Legend absorbed the blows head on, taking no heed. Goku, Super Saiyan 3, attacked from the front. Interested in fighting an actual Super Saiyan, they clashed hand-to- hand combat. Shockwaves echoed throughout the planet as they rocked each other. Gohan knew Goku couldn't hold his own that long. He and Eidolon attacked from the rear, Kamehameha Wave and a Syphon Shock Wave. The Legend felt the blast that time and spun, out of control of his rage. He recognized a Crystallite and laughed. He attacked wildly. Eidolon took the brunt of the damage while Gohan was allowed to hammer the giant from above. Galaphile blocked Gohan's last blow and sent a ki blast with 12 times the energy needed to kill the Mystic. Gohan barely saw it coming and watched as he was blown to dust. The others freaked at the death of Gohan.
~~~~~~~~~~ Sacred Garden ~~~~~~~~~~
"That battle's intense!" Videl said. Old Kai was done with the dance and was now sitting before the beautiful Earth girl, hands raised, focusing the Kai magic into the warrior at heart.
"Be still. They are trained to take care of themselves. Fear not for their safety," Old Kai replied. He sounded shaky though and unconfident. He sensed Gohan's power level vanish from the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~ Palace Gates ~~~~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaahhhh!" Goku cried as he continued to hammer the Legend with his Kamehameha Wave. The giant was forced back as Goku's rage fueled his beam "SUPER KAIOKEEEEEEN!!!" he cried, enhancing his might further still. Galaphile began to wonder if Goku wasn't a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 as well. Goku finished his attack by doubling his power once again. Galaphile struck the dirt. Goku fell back, drained. Galaphile came at him hard and fast. Eidolon appeared in a flash, standing before the Saiyan warrior.
"DARKNESS BLIGHT! RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The Crystallite cried. A wave of crashing Darkness swept forward, destroying everything in its path. It was the Crystallite's final attack and his best. Galaphile was hammered hard as he caught the blow with both palms up. He realized it was too strong as he began throwing him back.
"NO WAY!" the Legend roared.
"YOU KILLED MY FRIEND! YOU KILLED MY PEOPLE! NOW DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Eidolon erupted. He flared his wings wide and powered his blast further.
Galaphile tapped into Vegeta's mind and found an acceptable attack. He smirked and licked his lips. What an excellent body I have taken! His attacks are powerful and his body can take quite a pounding!
"FINAL SHINE WAAAAAAAVE!" Galaphile laughed as he sent the torrent of power crashing forward. Eidolon's Darkness Blight was sent crashing backwards. The blasts were dead even. The Crystallite was tapping his heart and soul. Only 14 and taking a Legendary Super Saiyan 3!
"Why did you kill my people you coward! They were more noble than to be slaughtered like that! You are a coward! A pussy weakling that deserved to die!" Eidolon cried.
"They died because they were worthless! They died because I needed target practice!" the Legend laughed.
"They were worth more than you or your kind will ever be!!!" Eidolon raged.
"Now feel my power! FUSION ENGINE IGNITE!" Galaphile laughed evilly as he used Vegeta's ki fusion technique to augment the power of his Final Shine Wave. "FINAL FLASH!" he cried as he fired the blast into the Final Shine, combining them as one. Eidolon's blast was forced backward and he nearly faltered.
"Eidolon! You cannot give in! Reach down into yourself and find that magic that fuels you! That fuels your soul! Fight it, Eidolon! Fight him or we're all dead!" Shin cried.
"I won't let you die! RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Eidolon snapped. He sent more Darkness crashing forward and sent the opposing blast back causing a deadlock once more. It was the Cell Games all over again. Gohan tied dead with Cell who had come back from the dead stronger than ever.
"It's not his magic that fuels this blast! It's his heart, Supreme Kai! His emotions are what's keeping his powered up right now! It's just like Gohan's Hidden Power! The more he was put into a situation that was so unfair and beyond his control, he'd snap, powering up into an unstoppable force," Goku said suddenly.
"Then how can we get him the reach this power?" Shin grunted.
"DO YOU LIKE DEATH, CRYSTALLITE!!! WATCH THE GRIM HORRORS OF YOUR END! JUST LIKE THE SAIYAN I KILLED NOT EVEN SECONDS AGO!" Galaphile laughed. Eidolon faltered. Galaphile sent the rest of his strength crashing forward. Ragnarok's blast was nearly taken out all together. He was barely sustaining a fourth the ground it held before.
"You killed the best friend I ever had! YOU BASTARD! YOU DIE NOW!" Eidolon cried, tears flowing from his eyes. He collapsed his Darkness Blight Wave and flipped over the Final Shine Wave/Final Flash mix that was empowered by Vegeta's Ki Fusion Engine. The mix Vegeta liked to call the Armageddon Hammer.
"You're alive. Phenomenal. You're power level's weak. What do I possibly have to fear?" Galaphile laughed. His ki read still at over 3 fourths maximum.
"By the final attack! This one I just discovered by tapping the magic deep within me! PREPARE TO DIE!" Eidolon cried. He regenerated back up to full health and brought his power level back up to a little over 2 thirds. He simply depleted too much to restore himself to maximum. He pointed one palm at Vegeta's body and focused. The look of sadness and desperation and the tears long gone. "I Summon you..." Eidolon whispered. He gathered his magic and ki and forced himself into a serene state of mind.
"He's going to! No he can't! Guys we need to clear out now! This solar system is as good as gone! Move!" Shin cried. He blasted off. The others followed slowly.
"What is it, Supreme Kai?" Goku asked.
"It's the most ancient attacks we Kais used to gain our control over the heavens! The only attack strong enough to beat the Demons of the Darkness! Arborlan's Leviathan!" Shin whispered. He was dark and grim, already missing his world.
"Can it beat Galaphile?" Krillin demanded.
"Galaphile's death is guaranteed! As is the death of all of Other-World!" Shin yelled darkly. "RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried.
"His power is waning! He no can do it!" Fat Buu said in his child-like way.
"Buu focus your magic with mine! We need to give him this power!" Supreme Kai said. They both combined their magic and focused dead on the Crystallite warrior, the last of his kind.
"I HAVE WHAT I NEED! FROM THE SANDS OF STRATAGON AND BY THE LORDS OF Lysaron and by the shores of Arborlan, come out my beast Leviathan! RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried out deeper than anything ever heard by the universe before him. His aura roared like a demon dragon and blue and purple lightning gathered and pulsed around him. His ki and magic levels off the charts.
"What is he doing?!!" Galaphile said, very afraid. The head of a serpent was forged from pure black Darkness. Eidolon empowered the serpent dragon with all of his heart and soul with the Darkness Flames as well as his Darkness Blight Wave.
"He's too much!" Shin whispered.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Eidolon cried out in darkness. He sent the Beast Leviathan crashing forward with everything he had. The World of the Kais trembled and quaked apart slowly as the Dragon flamed forward, roaring with an ethereal growl that would make even the ancient dragons of Earth cower. Galaphile cried out as he was hammered hard. He was thrown back as his very soul and body was being burnt to ash. Vegeta along with Galaphile were blown to dirt as the Beast Leviathan pulsed through him. The attack continued to burn around in the air, withering like the snake of Darkness it was. His power was still enough to kill Galaphile 1000 fold. The Beast then faded, crying out his last cry as it died again. Eidolon dropped to his knees and gathered his magic again. He casted the spell he began earlier secretly. Vegeta formed from nearly nothing with the Saiyan Stone intact through the Crystallite's regenerative might. Eidolon collapsed, fading fast from the World of Lightar Life to the Shadows of Darkness Death. Shin used the healing powers he got from Kavito after they had fused long ago. He poured every bit of ki and magic he had left in order to restore the warrior. Fat Buu knelt low and generated 1000 times the magic the Kai was in a healing spell of his own. The Crystallite's body began to convulse as they struggled to keep him stable.
"Eidolon..." Goku whispered the hero's name. They felt as Ragnarok's life- force faded slowly. Their healing magic only prolonged his agony of a slow death.
"HHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" came a cry as a thick beam of blue water-like might of magic pulsed into the Kai, Buu, and more importantly, Eidolon. The Kai and Buu were restored to full magical and physical health. They realized they were draining the magic and dodged away. Eidolon convulsed again as the beam focused cleanly on him alone and tripled in intensity 50 fold. The bruises, cuts, and scrapes closed and healed as the Crystallite's life- force began to grow. The Crystallite stood, reborn.
"Gohan..." he whispered as his friend landed before him with a smile. Eidolon hugged his friend and asked how he was alive.
"I regenerated like you did before when your body was destroyed. I am not sure how it happened because I wasn't even conscious of the fact I had the ability. I watched the entire battle from afar until I was restored enough to intervene," Gohan laughed. Vegeta ripped the Saiyan Stone from his neck and went to stomp on it. It vanished before his foot ever twitched.
"What?" the Prince yelled. Gohan had the relic in his hand. He handed it back to Krillin.
"When I was hit earlier, my Mystic magic responded strangely. I was able to see right into Galaphile's mind like I was able to see into Vegeta and Eidolon's minds a while ago when they first met... I'm sure how but when I did it before I 'died' I saw that it was Galaphile's plan to store his power into the Amethyst along with his mind and soul. Once he died, he would wait in the Stone for a pure blooded Saiyan to activate the Stone's magic. Then he would take over that Saiyan. Only another Legendary Super Saiyan could've stood a chance from being taken over. If Krillin or any non- Saiyan wield the stone, it merely makes them a Legendary Super Saiyan. Nothing more. Galaphile can't take over because the magic needs a Saiyan soul to make the transaction work right," Gohan said.
"The Mystic magic is changing in so many ways. Its hard to tell what'll happen next," Shin replied.
"I noticed. I can sense it changing. I can't tell what it'll do next... Like its unstable... It connected with this Kai Planet somehow..." Gohan said.
~~~~~~~~~~ Sacred Garden ~~~~~~~~~
"You're wasting my time, old man! Gohan's hurt and I need to help him!" Videl yelled, standing now.
"Calm down, child before...!" the Kai cried.
"HAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" she raged, a silver-blue aura ripped upward her in an intensity she never thought possible.
"Not again!" the Kai wined.
"HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Videl raged. His eyes were blazing a pure blue. Thick silver and blue lightning twisting around each other in thick tendrils that dug trenches deep into the ground. Her power level leveled as a blast of searing wind surged outward from her in all directions, blowing the old Kai back.
"Whoa," Gohan said as he arrived with the others to see what was happening. She looked down, wide-eyed with pure shock.
"Was all that power really mine?" she asked Gohan, shaky and even a bit afraid of what force she just sent crashing in all directions.
"Yeah. That was you. All by yourself," Gohan assured her even though he was still in disbelief.
"This is remarkable! I never thought I could get that strong..." she said. Old Kai cleared his throat loudly to get her attention.
"As phenomenal as that may have seemed, child, you are not finished with your training yet. That's merely a fourth of the power that exists inside you," he said.
"No way," she said, still in shock. She sat and watched as he repositioned himself, resuming the Mystic Ceremony. Gohan smiled.
"Wow. She might even get stronger than a..." Krillin began.
"A Super Saiyan 3? I doubt it," Eidolon said.
"Well they got that to do and we have training. You guys need rest so take it easy and help the Supreme Kai repair the damages done to the Courtyard. Vegeta and I are going to resume out training," Goku said, talking to Gohan and Eidolon. In truth Gohan and Eidolon were still in better than the pure Saiyans ever after an intense battle in which one nearly died and after regenerating from death itself. They began cleaning up the damages done Krillin fell back, wondering about the stone. He flared into Legendary Super Saiyan and felt the magic flood through him.
"It only works for non-Saiyans. It nearly cost Vegeta his life and his freedom. But I need it to stay strong enough to fight," he said to himself. He blasted upward into the air and resumed his training, determined to become stronger.
~~~~~~~ Earth ~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaaahhh!" Trunks cried as he sent all the power he could muster forward into his Final Flash. Goten's Kamehameha held strong and firm against Trunk's opposing blast.
"Goten's really improved," 18 mentioned.
"I know. He's already Trunk's equal. I guess it's save to say he inherited the Son family's talent for fighting," Piccolo replied with a nod.
"Take this, Goten!" Trunks struggled, pouring forth even more power.
"I won't let you beat me!" Goten yelled right back, sending more force of his own into his own blast. The beams of ki grew too powerful in such a crowed area and exploded. The whole of Kami's Lookout was rocked my the blast.
"Not bad, Goten," Trunks gasped for air.
"I can still beat you, Trunks!" Goten said, also out of breath.
"Nuh-uh!" Trunks yelled. He flew into a spinning kick which Goten ducked. Trunks spun swiftly again and connected his left boot with Goten's side. Goten was sent skidding across the tiles of the sanctuary's courtyard. Goten stood, angry. He flared into Super Saiyan with ease. Trunks was right behind him. They were still deadlocked in power.
"We need a tie breaker," Goten grumbled.
"Yeah and me kicking your butt will be all the tie breaker we need!" Trunks said. They clashed again, lightning spewing everywhere.
"How long until we break them up?" 18 wondered.
"When I giver the word," Piccolo replied. Goten blocked the last blow of Trunks and connected hard with his left fist. Trunks struck a pillar and slumped to the ground. He fell from Super Saiyan and struggled to his feet. Goten, also too exhausted to sustain Super Saiyan, returned to his normal state. Piccolo smirked.
"Go get a bath, you two," Chi Chi said. Bulma agreed.
"But mom" Goten objected.
"Goten! Obey your mother and get a bath now!" Chi Chi ordered. Goten frowned and walked into the main hall of the Lookout. Trunks followed. Piccolo flared his aura instantly.
"Ready?" he asked 18. She nodded, taking a stance. She vanished and appeared behind him. He blocked hard with his right forearm and then launched a punch straight into the beautiful android's face. 18 ducked swiftly and Piccolo responded with a kick too fast to see. 18 flipped over the attack and the whirled in midair to slam her own foot into Piccolo's head. The Namekian skidded forward across the deck. Android 18 landed and took a defensive stance. Piccolo vanished from the ground and appeared, punching an all out assault. 18 summoned all of her android abilities and clashed head to head with the Namek. They clashed hard and pressed their strength even harder. 18 sensed his power rising sharply above her own and responded with her speed and agility to compensate. Even after this, she struggled.
He's too much, she thought as he blocked every blow she attempted. I guess I'll have to use it.
"Hah!" she cried and kicked Piccolo back a few yards. She gathered her ki and closed her eyes.
"What the?! I can actually sense her ki now!" Piccolo cried.
"HAAAAAAAAHH!" 18 yelled as her power level rose exponentially. Piccolo threw his arms and legs out into a defensive stance. A solid black aura rimmed with red. Red and black lightning also flared freely. Her ki rivaled Piccolo's now and was still growing! "RRRAAAAAAAHHH!!!" she cried out a final time. Her pupils flamed a brilliant red as her smile darkened.
"No way," Piccolo gasped.
"What do you think, Piccolo?" she asked teasingly.
"What? it's a pretty light show, so what," Piccolo laughed. That's all it was. He knew he would have to seriously up his game now just to hold his own for a few minutes at a time!
"Really. You insult me. This is Ultima Storm. It's like the version 17 used called Omega Storm. it's the deepest of our android abilities that was kept secret from us because Gero was afraid of rebellion," she replied.
"You're stronger than Cell. Why would he weaken Cell by not making him aware of your Super Modes?" Piccolo wondered.
"Because of the same reason he didn't tell us. Cell was too ambitious. Gero found that out early from genetic testing," 18 said. Her voice was darker now. It echoed mystically like some kind of reverberation effect. Like there was more than one of her speaking at once. Red lightning crackled between her 2 fists as a bal of power pulsed to life.
"Argh!" Piccolo grunted and raised his defenses.
"Sundering Hellfire!" she yelled and released the bomb. The explosion was intense as Piccolo hovered above it. The heat was intense. The blast was powerful enough to blow him apart.
"Her techniques are far stronger than before.. This will be getting serious," Piccolo smirked. He threw off his weighted clothing. He flared his silver aura and powered up to full Super Namekian might.
"Cinder Storm," 18 laughed. Her aura blazed pure red like a Kaioken. The effect was greater. Her power level blazed even higher. Piccolo swept forward fast and hard. 18 brought her Ultima powers to bare as Piccolo attacked. She ducked his kick and kneed the Namek in the stomach. She hammered him hard in the back of the head with her elbow and watched as he skidded across the deck, digging a 3 foot deep trench. He grunted and got up. He regenerated his torn antennae and his right ear and attacked again. This time he landed the blow to her stomach and she heaved over a bit. He struck her hard right in the temple and she flew. He was on her like nothing.
Not bad! He countered everything I throw at him and comes back with some moves of his own! she thought quickly as he flipped over yet another kick.
"Sundering Hellfire!" she screamed as the stream of flames that made Pikkon's Thunder Flash Attack looked like child's play. Piccolo's right arm and most of that side of his head and torso was blown clear off. He channeled his natural powers and regenerated with ease. He blocked her next kick and head butted her hard in the forehead. She flew backwards, flipped and landed gracefully. Piccolo charged his Special Beam Cannon. He fired the blast with maximum power behind it. She took it hard and head on. She was knocked backwards with tremendous force to spar. Her outer clothing was blown clear off and she stood there after the smoked cleared only in her black under garments. Piccolo paid no heed to this and gathered more precious energy as fast as he could. She did the same. Her aura flared and blazed upward around her causing her perfect breasts to bounce slightly and her hair to sway as if by the wind. Red lightning pulsed horribly as she released her wrath. Piccolo came crashing it cold, hard, and fast. He was hammered around by her impossible and sudden boost of strength. She knocked him into the ground far below the Lookout and followed him down. Her power level leveled back off again, the boost fading. Piccolo emerged, Super Namekian aura blazing pure silver. He powered up his Hell-Zone Grenade and charged it into a ball of ki that surrounded his entire body.
"Easy, Piccolo. Barrier Field," the android laughed as she forged her android shield. Her field expanded and she empowered it and Piccolo's did the same. They clashed and they poured all of there power into it. Piccolo's shirt was incinerated and his skin singed as the opposing energy flowed into him. Android 18 was worse off. Her skin wasn't affected but her clothes were completely gone. She hovered there, naked but not seeming to notice. She sent the rest of her energy into the Barrier Field and watched as Piccolo collapsed his end. The explosion rocked her hard. He connected hard with his right elbow to the back of her neck. She dropped hard. Thinking she was out cold, Piccolo powered down. She moved before he could even react. She knocked him out with a single swipe of her arm. He dropped and she flew him to the Lookout and left again, landing in a town nearby. She entered the nearest store and watched as people stared and moved away from quite suddenly. She knew she was completely naked and didn't seem to care as she looked at some new clothes on the racks.
"This would go great with my new shoes. But then again the leather..." she said silently to herself. Then she was approached by mall security. She scared them off with a ki blast to the floor and resumed searching. Not even 10 minutes later she was interrupted again. She turned, furious and thinking it was the rent-a-cops again but found it was 2 fairly good looking men eyeing her down.
"Damn baby. How 'bout you let me tap that ass," the first man whistled. She was amused by all of this and decided to play with them a bid. She swayed her hips seductively and rubbed her breasts teasingly. Their jaws dropped.
"You want some of this?" she teased. They nodded stupidly. "Buy me these," she pleaded. Giving the sad face. They ripped out their credit cards faster than thought. They purchased the items an wrapped their arms around her waist, thinking they just scored.
"Get off," she warned suddenly.
"What?" they yelled. She need the man to her left hard in the balls, dropping him. The other man let go fast. She smirked flew off quickly. She returned to the Lookout wearing one of her new outfits. The other girls jealous.
~~~~~~~~~~ Kai Planet ~~~~~~~~~~
"Argh!" Gohan yelled, awakening and breathing hard. He found he couldn't sleep again. Something within him shifted and sparked crazily. He sensed the Mystic magic within him was restless from something. It shifted and flooded through him, eager for release. He sensed the magic of the planet itself shifting also.
What could it mean? he wondered. The door opened and Videl walked through it wearing only her under garments. She blushed and backed up a step.
"Gohan! What are you doing in here? I was told this was my room," she said.
"Who told you that?" Gohan asked, trying not to eye her like a pervert. It was very challenging, he realized. She smiled as she discovered what was going on.
"Shin and your dad. I think they did it on purpose," she said.
"Well since you're already here and everything..." he began. She crawled into bed beside him he wrapped her arms around her sleek and beautiful form. The magic within him was struggling to make him summon it. To use it. He forced it back down so he could sleep next to his lover. She kissed him and he kissed her back. She brought his hands up to her breast and laughed as he blushed when she ran his hand across her chest. He let go of his hand and found he was reluctant to move it on his own. She made her laugh. She felt him growing against her and reached low with his heft hand. He jerked when he felt her graceful hands running down him in a certain sensitive area. He grew harder still and she smiled. She let go and curled up warmly. His arms cradled her protectively and they both were asleep in seconds.
Well that was a bit longer than usual, no? But then again the chapter before this was shorter so the balance had to be settled somewhere, right? By the way I added the Legendary Super Saiyan Krillin thing because it's kind of funny and Krillin never gets recognized as much as he deserves. I wanted to keep him in the game and throw something comical out there at the same time so to speak. I'm sorry if some of you don't like it but that's your god-given choice and I respect that. I also respect the fact you guys take the time to submit your reviews. Please keep it up and tell me what you like and hate. And I thought about maybe warping it a bit and have Videl discover she was part Saiyan but I decided to save that for another story I have planned. If my chapters are too long or even (I doubt it though) too short, let me know in your reviews. And please know that your time and effort is really valued. My instructor in Ju-Jitsu taught me that there is a balance to everything. For all that is rich, there are those who are poor. For all that is evil, there is all that is good. Neither force actually overrides the other but balance out instead. For all that is liked, there is also those who dislike. I respect that way of thinking. Please let me know what you think.
Anyways - Next chapter - Gohan realized something is up and wants to know what. That's when Old Kai springs the bad news on him. Eidolon discovers something is wrong with his Darkness Flame and freaks out. Even Fat Buu sensed something wrong that his regenerative powers only seem to make worse. All this while Tein and Yamcha finally emerge, transformed and empowered. What is wrong with Gohan and Eidolon? And why is Tein and Yamcha so different and so interested in fighting Eidolon and Gohan? And what is happening to the Kai Planet that is causing all this changes. And are the changes for the better or only more trouble thanks to Kid Buu? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!
