The Salga Saga
Chapter 3
"Now go!" Dirk ordered, Bri and Rirk shot forward. Saiyaman quickly took to the air, but Bri somehow managed to beat him to it.
"Take this," he said with a smirk, and threw a fast punch. Saiyaman managed to dodge, and threw one of his own. Bri easily caught his punch, and started to squeeze his fist. The superhero growled in pain, he felt his hand would break in a matter of minutes if he didn't do something and fast. He tried throwing another punch, but Bri dodged, and wrapped his steel grip around his wrist.
"Yeah keep him there Bri!" Rirk said and started charging up a blast. Saiyaman struggled, but the green soldier's grip was too tight for him to get loose. He could feel Rirk was ready to fire his attack, so he did something his father taught him, he used his head. Bri let go of Gohan and started yelling out in pain. Saiyaman in one swift motion dodged Rirk's attack, and fired a Masenko blasting him back a little. Dirk came up from behind, and broke Gohan's ribs with one swift kick, but Saiyaman countered with a back kick to his stomach. The soldiers growled, and surrounded Saiyaman.
"I've had it with you Saiyaman! You're going down!" Bri shouted, and shot forward. Rirk and Dirk followed his lead, and charged head first for the superhero. Saiyaman got in a fighting stance readying himself for the impact. When they collided, the whole city seemed to shake. A large and loud shockwave expanded through the sky. The four fighters were locked in a whirl of punches and kicks, which took up the entire sky. Gohan quickly dodged a blast from Rirk, but he soon collided with Bri's fist to his face, then Dirk teleported behind him and thrust out his hands.
"Azure blast!" Saiyaman gasped, but he was soon caught in the blast. The superhero crashed into a building under construction, causing all the poles, and supporters to crash down around him. The soldiers hovered over the sight, and started laughing.
"Let's finish this!" Bri laughed, and started throwing rapid ki blasts at the destroyed site. Rirk joined in as well, then Dirk. The entire area was filled with red, blue, and green blasts all aimed for the already destroyed construction site. "Now for the finale!" Bri then fired a powerful blast into the area, and caused a grand explosion. When the smoke cleared all that was left was a large hole smoke rising from it. The three soldiers laughed as they flew back to a building surveying the damage.
"That had to of gotten him!" Rirk crackled.
"Yeah, no one could have survived that!" Bri chuckled.
"Wanna bet?" a voice said from behind them. It was Saiyaman! His green tunic was half way ripped, and his cape had countless holes in them.
"How did you survive?" Dirk exclaimed.
"That's for me to know, and you to never find out!" Saiyaman replied. 'I think it's time to turn it up two notches. I promised I would only use this for emergencies, and this is one of those times. Just need to get rid of this stuff,' Saiyaman thought. The superhero started to take off his gloves, and then ripped off his green tunic. Everyone wondered what he was up to; it looked as though he was going to unmask himself. Saiyaman took of his cape, and then smirked.
"What are you doing?" Dirk asked.
"You'll see," Gohan said in his normal voice. "You should feel lucky; I haven't used this in while. So sorry if it takes a while." A golden aura suddenly surrounded him, the scarf on his head flew off, and his black hair stood up and became golden. 'I haven't done this in a while so please body hold out.' The half Saiyan braced himself for anything, and then started yelling. The golden aura around him grew larger, and slowly his muscles started increase in size. The small rocks around him rose from the ground and surrounded him as the transformation continued. The wind blew harshly, and the ground started to crack. It was as if he was causing his own earthquake. Clouds started to break apart, and the harsh wind blew airplanes off course. Street lamps fell over, and buildings started to crumble. Waves started rise from the water and crash down on the shores of the beaches.
"What the heck is going on?" a man wondered as he dodged a falling street sign.
'Gohan what are you doing?' Videl wondered.
OOOOO
Meanwhile back in the mountains, Piccolo's meditation was broken when he sensed Gohan's energy rising. Goku, and Vegeta, who were sparring, sensed it as well.
"Gohan's energy is skyrocketing," Piccolo said.
"That's not the only energy I sense, there are three others, no, four," Goku stated.
"You clown," Vegeta sneered. "I sense another energy besides those four."
"This can't be good. We should go see what's going on," Piccolo advised. The other two nodded, and soon they were off.
OOOOO
Back in the city, the rumbling, and cracking only increased. By now Gohan was surrounded by a bright golden orb. His hair started to get much longer, and his voice became fiercer. Back at Herclue's gym, everything was falling apart, and rolling around. And as the usual the cowardly martial artist was at a complete loss.
"Someone please stop the ride I want to get off!" he exclaimed. Just when everyone thought everything was going to be destroyed, the rumbling slowly stopped. The people looked back up at the rooftops, and saw the orb around Saiyaman going down. The three aliens were at a completely loss for words.
"W-W-W-W-What the hell is this!" Bri exclaimed. Saiyaman smirked, and took off his sunglasses reveling his now bluish green eyes.
"Now time to take this fight to then next level," Gohan said. In the shadows the figure from Tenchi's world watched with interested eyes.
'Things have gotten interesting,' he thought. The citizens of Orange Star city were needless to say, shocked.
"Great Saiyaman is also that Gold Fighter guy!?" a man exclaimed.
"Mommy, how did he do that!?" a little kid asked. Gohan smirked as he looked at the looks of disbelief on the capture force's faces. They were so shocked that they couldn't move or speak, but it was Bri that regained his nerves.
"HA! So your hair got longer, and your eyebrows are gone, so what?! That still doesn't mean you can beat us!" Gohan just chuckled.
"You fools," he said in a deep fierce voice. "You three don't stand a chance against me now." The green alien growled, and shot forward.
"I'LL SHOW YOU, YOU DAMN PUNK!!!!" he bellowed, and threw a strong punch. Before he could even come close to hitting Gohan, the young Super Saiyan three nailed him with a powerful front kick to his chin. Bri flew back and landed on his side next to his comrades.
"Still want to go up against me?" Gohan asked as he put down his leg. Bri just started to chuckle.
"Oh yeah. No one has ever kicked me that hard! This will be fun," the green alien said as he licked his lips. He looked to his comrades, and they nodded. The aliens teleported in different directions, but Gohan didn't look worried. The capture force reappeared at three different sides of the young half Saiyan, and charged it. In an instant however, Gohan was gone.
"What! Where did he go!?" Dirk exclaimed as he looked around.
"Looking for me?" Gohan asked from behind. Dirk spun around only to be knocked out of the sky from a swift kick from Gohan. Rirk, and Bri shot at him on both sides, both throwing powerful punches. The young Super Saiyan three quickly put up his hands, and blocked their punches. The two aliens were blown into the street when Gohan fired two powerful blasts at their chests.
'I had no idea Gohan could do this,' Videl thought as she watched. 'That long hr actually looks good on him.' Gohan slowly floated down to the ground as the aliens got up. Just as he expected they weren't that hurt, but that was going to change soon. The capture force quickly emerged from their holes, and got into fighting stances. Gohan just smirked, and got into one as well.
"Let's go," he said softly.
OOOOO
Washu's eyes stared closely at the portal; she just needed a few more tests, and modifications. The information she wanted was running next to her star portal program, and she watched it carefully. She hoped it would be ready by tonight or tomorrow, hopefully.
"What the hell are you doing?" Telew asked from behind her.
"What does it look like? I'm working," Washu replied without looking back. "Is Tei in bed?"
"He didn't want to sleep, so I let him train with me."
"I hope you didn't go too hard on him." Telew just scoffed.
"He's part Arsudu there's no such thing as 'Too hard.'"
"Well whatever. Is he at least in bed?" Washu asked. Telew sat in the corner and closed his eyes as he answered.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. So just what the hell is this new modification supposed to do anyway?"
"You'll find out when I want you to," Washu replied with a sly smile. Telew just rolled his eyes scoffed.
"Hate it when you get like this." Washu chuckled a little bit, and then returned to her work.
'Just a little longer,' she thought.
OOOOO
A loud BAM echoed through the skies of Orange Star City. Shockwaves rippled through the air as Gohan battled the powerful capture force. The young Super Saiyan three quickly dodged a ki blast from Rirk, and shot past Rirk as he threw a kick. Bri suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Take this! Jade Cannon!" Gohan quickly dodged the green blast, and countered with a powerful kick to his chest, knocking him into a building. Dirk suddenly teleported in front of him, and fired a powerful ki blast at the Super Saiyan three, making him lose a little altitude. Gohan flipped over to stop himself, but Rirk was suddenly appeared behind him, and started chuckling.
"Take this! Crimson Shocker!" The red alien suddenly fired a strong electric blast that coursed through Gohan's body. He cried out in pain as the attack continued. He couldn't move he couldn't even lift a finger to fight back.
"Excellent Rirk! Now keep him there!" Dirk laughed, and shot towards him. "Azure blast!" Gohan was suddenly blasted out of the air, and dropped towards the ground like a rock. Bri suddenly grabbed him by his legs, and then started laughing as they neared the ground. The green alien raised Gohan over his head, and slammed him on the hard ground back first. Gohan coughed out blood as he tried to get up. The aliens started to laugh as they watched him struggle to his feet. Blood was running down the side of his head, and his chin. His body felt completely unbalanced, his hands were constantly shaking as he tried to get up.
'Man, Rirk's electric attack did more damage than I thought. I have to get up, otherwise I'm a goner!' Gohan thought as he finally got to his feet. Bri suddenly shot forward, and in an instant he was in front of Gohan with a dark smirk on his face.
"Jade Canon!" Gohan's eyes widened when he saw his hands were right over his stomach. The young Saiyan was blown through five buildings at once as a result. He suddenly crashed into the city park with three trees crashing over him. The capture force laughed as they hovered overhead, they watched as Gohan emerged from the trees with a broken left arm, and bruises and cuts around his chest, and face.
"Let's finish him!" Rirk exclaimed and they suddenly shot towards the weakened Saiyan. Gohan looked down as they shot towards him, he saw all three of them charging up powerful blasts to finish him off, but something suddenly awoke within Gohan. His eyes flashed golden, and his forehead started to lightly glow. The capture force fired their blasts, but Gohan suddenly shot into the air with speed he didn't even know he had.
"What the hell!?" Dirk exclaimed.
"Chew on this! Ka Me Ha Me HA!!!!" The aliens quickly dodged in different directions, just barely missing Gohan's attack. When Bri turned around he didn't see Gohan in the air anymore. He quickly looked behind him, but he was met with a powerful pain to his stomach. While he was gasping for air, Gohan started to pound his body with powerful punches. Rirk suddenly appeared behind Gohan with a smirk.
"How about Crimson Shocker x5!" Without looking Gohan put up his right hand that stopped Rirk's attack. "THERE'S NO WAY!!!!!" Gohan was suddenly face to face with Rirk and knocked him into the ground with a powerful blow to his head. Bri suddenly trapped Gohan in a tight bear hug that seemed to crush his bones on contact. The young Saiyan struggled, but Bri's grip just kept on getting tighter and tighter. Rirk and Dirk laughed, and shot towards the caught Saiyan. Gohan suddenly slammed his head into Bri's face, freeing him, and he shot higher into the air. The aliens suddenly split up, and suddenly surrounded Gohan.
"You aren't getting away!" Bri exclaimed. The three quickly charged in, and another loud BAM echoed through the skies. Four streaks flew around in the sky, colliding, and circling around each other. They flew higher and higher in the air until no one could see them anymore. Gohan grunted as he dodged a strong kick from Bri, and blocked a blast from Rirk. Their attacks were getting slower and weaker, but so were his blocks. The thin air was slowly getting to all of them the higher they went. Dirk suddenly slammed his elbow into Gohan's already broken ribs, causing the Saiyan to cry out in pain. Seeing their chance, the aliens deiced to try and finish Gohan right there.
"Jade Cannon!"
"Azure Blast!"
"Crimson Laser!" The three attacks joined together to form one powerful blast, that blew Gohan out of the sky. The wind blew in his ear, and the air whistled around his body. Smoke rose from his chest where the blast hit, and the blood from his head ran down his cheek as he fell. The ground crept closer and closer to the young Saiyan as he dropped, but the three aliens weren't finished yet, they surrounded Gohan ready to finish him. Videl made a fist as she watched, she wanted to help, but what could she do?
"Saiyaman wake up!!!" she shouted. Her voice reached his ears, but in Gohan's mind, it wasn't her voice that he heard. He started to stir, and his eyes slowly opened.
"Sasami?" he asked weakly. His mind quickly snapped back to the situation, he saw the three capture force soldiers around him, and he was falling from the sky.
"Crimson Laser!" Gohan quickly dodged to the side, and gave Rirk a swift jab to his stomach, but Bri suddenly slammed his knee against Gohan's chest, but Gohan's foot suddenly stuck Bri across his face making the green alien fly back. When the young Saiyan saw the ground coming closer, he quickly flipped over and made a soft landing. He was about to charge in for another round, when he felt his body pulsing. His arms felt as though they weighed two or more tons, and his legs seemed super glued to the ground, he couldn't move. The golden aura around him started to slowly fade, along with his golden eyes and the light glow on his forehead.
'Oh no! My body must not be able to handle being in this form for so long,' Gohan thought as he took a knee. 'That makes sense since the last time I used this form was a long time ago. But why now?'
"Hey what's the matter hero? Losing your energy?" Bri asked with a laugh. "Dirk, now is the perfect time! Let's get him!"
"Fine then. Ready the bomb!" the leader exclaimed. The other two nodded, and they shot towards the weakening Saiyan. Gohan suddenly jabbed Bri in his stomach, and knocked Rirk into a building with a swift kick to the jaw. When they were on their knees, Gohan sped off.
"Where's he going?" Erasa wondered.
"Maybe he knows he can't win," Sharpener figured.
"Don't say that! He must know what he's doing." The capture force quickly chased after the young Saiyan who was going much faster than they were. Gohan looked over his shoulder and saw them trailing him, he quickly made a sharp turn, and swiftly dodged a speeding truck. When he looked behind him again he saw that Bri was missing from the group. Gohan quickly looked around, but his face suddenly collided with Bri's fist making him fall back on the ground. The young Saiyan quickly rolled out of the way when he saw the green alien trying to stomp on him, and he quickly ducked into an alley.
"HA! We got him trapped," Bri laughed as they flew in, but they were surprised when they saw he wasn't there. "What!! Where the hell is he!??!?!"
"Up here!" Gohan shouted from above. When they looked up they saw him with his hands cupped and at his waist.
"Get him!" Rirk shouted. With that the aliens shot towards Gohan, but since it was such a narrow space they had fly right behind each other in a straight line.
"Gotcha," Gohan said with a smirk. "KA ME HA ME HA!!!!!!" The capture force were awe stuck when they saw the immense blast heading their way. They were trapped, the space was too narrow to dodge, and they were in a straight line so the wave was able to plow through them with ease. Gohan smirked when he saw the explosion, he knew they were finished. Brown smoke rose over the rubble as Gohan floated to ground panting. The figure from earlier watched with amused eyes.
"Not bad," he said softly.
'Thank goodness that worked! If they survived then they'd get me since that last kame ha me ha took a lot out of me,' Gohan thought as the citizens crowded around him.
"You rule Saiyaman!!" a guy exclaimed.
"No one can beat you!" Gohan smiled a little at the praise. It was good to get a little recognition. It got tiring, and sometimes even annoying when he and his friends saved the universe from the ultimate evil, and Herclue got all the credit. Sure they didn't want all the publicity, but still a little thank you wouldn't hurt! When it seemed as though all the people on that block was around the hero, a strong blast shot out from the rubble. Gohan gasped, and jumped in the way to make sure no one would get hurt, but unfortunately for him that's when his energy decided to run on empty. He was blown into a building, and his long golden hair returned to its normal black color and length.
'Oh no!' Gohan thought from below the rocks. 'If I come out now, everyone will know who I am. I don't even have enough power to become a Super Saiyan! What do I do?' The three aliens emerged from the rubble without a scratch on them. Their laughs echoed through the city, and their dark smirks spelled doom for the citizens.
"Come on out Saiyaman! We know you're still alive!" Bri shouted.
"Yeah, weak, but still alive!" Rirk exclaimed.
"Show your face you coward!" Dirk yelled. By now Gohan's three friends made it to the scene shocked at how the three aliens were still alive.
"If you don't show your face, then we'll start killing everyone in this worthless city!" Bri threatened. Gohan's eyes widened when he heard this. "You have until I count to five!"
'Oh no! Now what!?' Gohan thought.
"1…2….3…4…." Bri counted, and started to charge up a blast that would level five blocks, killing countless. "5." Gohan suddenly shot up from the rubble and landed sloppily.
"Okay I'm here," he said seriously. Everyone gasped when they saw that their hero was just a teenager.
"Gohan!?!" Erasa and Sharpener exclaimed at once. Videl gave him a "what are you doing?" look.
"Well now that he's shown himself, finish him!!" Dirk shouted. Bri and Rirk nodded, and shot towards him.
"Solar Cannon!" a strong voice shouted from no where. A powerful blast blew the charging fighters back, and everyone looked around to see where the blast came from.
"What the hell happened!?" Dirk exclaimed.
"I happened," a voice said from the sky. A young man around Gohan's age floated to the ground. He had long spiky red hair tied in a low ponytail, and bluish green eyes. He wore a red shirt, and jeans along with sneakers. But on his belt was a katana, and a small brown pouch.
"Who the hell are you!?" Rirk exclaimed.
"My name doesn't matter. Now if you three value your lives I suggest you leave this planet, and never come back."
"Who are you tell us what to do kid!" Bri shouted, and shot towards him.
"Yeah let's get him!" Rirk agreed, and he and Dirk charged the young man.
"Fools," the young man mumbled, and rushed towards them. When they were inches apart, the boy drew his weapon, and ran past them. When the boy passed them, he sheathed his sword. The capture force seemed to be frozen in time, but when a soft click ran through the air their armor fell apart, and they were soon face down in the ground.
'No way!' Gohan thought. 'In two seconds, that guy sliced their armor to pieces!'
"That was only a warning. Now leave this planet," he said coldly.
"You bastard! I'll kick your ass!!!" Bri shouted, and charged again.
"How about we take this somewhere else," the young man said softly, and quickly turned around. His eyes suddenly flashed green, and in a blink of an eye he, and the aliens were gone!
"Who is that guy?" Gohan thought a loud.
OOOOO
The young and the aliens were now in a forest a couple of miles away from Orange Star City.
"So just who the hell are you!?" Dirk demanded to know.
"Someone unimportant," the boy replied coldly.
"Get him!" Bri shouted, and he and Rirk charged him. The young man easily dodged their attacks, and countered with a strong blow to Bri's stomach, and a swift kick to Rirk's face.
"Crimson Laser!"
"Jade Cannon!" The blasts hit their target, and the boy was gone. "HA! Got him!"
"Oh really?!" he shouted from above him. When Bri looked up all he saw was sliver coming down towards him. In an instant, the boy was hunched over with his sword down. The other two froze when they saw the shocked look in the eyes of their comrade. The young man jumped back, and suddenly blood exploded from Bri. The green alien fell dead with a long, thin, and clean cut from his head all the way down his upper body.
"BRI!!!!" the others bellowed.
"YOU BASTARD!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!" Rirk shouted. "CRIMSON SHOCKER X10!!!!!!" The powerful electric attack shot towards the young man, when it hit him he cried out in pure pain. He dropped down to his knees clutching his shoulders, whimpering in pain. "HA! That's what you get for killing Bri!" Suddenly though, the young man exploded into nothing but dirt!
"What the hell!!!" Dirk gasped, Rirk was just as surprised.
"He's was just dirt!!!?" Rirk shouted. But he was suddenly silenced when he was stabbed through his stomach. The red alien gasped, and slowly looked behind him. The young man was behind him looking at him with cold eyes. "W-w-w-what!"
"A doppelganger made of dirt," he said slowly. He suddenly pulled out his sword, and swung it again. In seconds Rirk's head rolled off his shoulders, and blood shot up like a fountain. Dirk was shocked. His team killed by a kid, in a matter of seconds! But he regained his nerve when he saw the bodies of his comrades.
"You have a lot of nerve killing my comrades, but I will make sure you pay!!!" he shouted and drew double laser sabers. "Your sword can't stand up to these!!" The blue alien rushed forward, and brought down his weapons. To his surprise the boy's sword withstood his laser sabers when he blocked! The young man pushed up on the swords, and ran past Dirk.
"Game over," he said softly as he sheathed his sword. Dirk was suddenly separated into the three parts, head, body, and legs. Without looking back the boy teleported back to the city, but unknown to him another figure was watching the whole time.
OOOOO
When he reappeared in the city everyone was crowding around Gohan asking him questions about his powers, his name, and why he became a superhero.
"Hey, leave him alone. I need to talk to him," he said suddenly.
"But we need answers! Only he can explain what just happened!" a man shouted.
"I may not be able to assure that he can answer all your questions, but I can assure you people of one thing," he said softly.
"What's that?" Erasa asked.
"By tomorrow none of you will remember any of this." Everyone looked at him with confused looks in their eyes. The young man's eyes suddenly flashed red. Everyone who was watching suddenly froze, their faces had blank expressions on them, and they seemed to be in some sort of trance. Gohan decided to confront this strange young man.
"All right who are you? And what did you do to them?" Gohan asked.
"Gohan!" his father called from the sky.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Gohan asked as his father Vegeta, and Piccolo landed.
"Gohan what's going on? Why did you go Super Saiyan three? And who's this guy?" Goku asked as he eyed the new guy.
"I can answer your first two questions, but the last one I have no idea," Gohan replied. "He was about to tell me though."
"All right who are you?" Piccolo asked harshly.
"My name is……"
AN: HA!!!!! HA!!!!!!! Cliffhanger!!!! I'm so evil. Well at least you have a reason to read the next chapter. So who is this strange young man? How is it that he was able to kill the capture so easily? Who was watching his fight? And what new feature is Washu adding to her star portal? You just have to read the next chapter of the Salga Saga! Oh and the last chapter, it was really the unfinished version, I submitted that by accident. The chapter was actually supposed to end where this one began, when Gohan went Super Saiyan three. Just a little unimportant information. Anyway, be sure read the next chapter. R&R See ya!!!
