"Let's go," Telew whispered as he watched the two teens rush towards him. The Arsudu cracked his claws as he readied himself for a fight. The two androids suddenly disappeared from his sight just before they had reached him, but Telew had no look of surprise or shock.
"Take this old man!" Sci exclaimed from behind him, and fired a strong ki blast. Telew smirked, and teleported into the air. Suddenly though a volley of ki blasts came from above him, courtesy of the pink haired android, Ari. The Arsudu easily dodged her ki volley, and flew off to side to avoid another overhead ki attack. But the girl refused to let him go, and chased after him, firing rapid ki attacks.
"Hm, where's the other one I wonder," Telew mumbled as he dodged Ari's attacks.
"Here I am!" Sci shouted when he suddenly appeared in front of Telew with a strong ki blast already charged. "Ari, now!" the girl nodded, and they both fired powerful ki attacks at the same time. The two smirked when they saw smoke where Telew once was. But when the smoke cleared, their smirks turned into expressions of shock when they saw Telew floating in the air as if nothing had happened.
"Is that all you kids have?" he asked with a chuckle. Sci and Ari growled before flying off in opposite directions. Ari suddenly appeared right in front of the Arsudu and slammed him into the ground. As he fell, Sci appeared on his side, and delivered a swift kick to his head, knocking him through three trees.
"Ari, let's finish this." The girl nodded, and the two androids flew over to where the Arsudu crashed. Seconds later, it was raining ki blasts at Telew's crash site. After a few minutes, the area where Telew crashed was nothing but a massive hole with smaller holes around it. Sci just chuckled.
"There's no way he could have survived," Ari said.
"Tell me about it. That was easier than I thought. Now let's go back to Salga." The two then flew off without a second glance.
"What a weakling!" Ari laughed as they flew.
"I know, I have to admit I did get a little scared when he transformed like that," Sci admitted.
"You baby!" Ari chuckled. "But still, he did look a little crazy with those red eyes of his. I was scared too."
"You were scared?" a voice suddenly whispered. The two androids froze in the air. "Then I have bad news for you. The nightmare has only just begun." In an instant Telew was in front of the android duo with his hands folded, and a smirk on his face. Sci and Ari were speechless.
"How…. How did you survive! No one could have survived that assault!"
"True. No one would have survived if you actually hit them. You kids have horrible aim," Telew said with a chuckle. Sci growled, and shot forward.
"Laugh at this!" he exclaimed and fired another round of ki blasts. Telew just smirked, and closed his eyes as the blasts passed him.
"See, you have no aim at all," Telew chuckled. Sci growled, and floated next to Ari.
"Ari, ki tornado," he whispered. The pink haired girl nodded, and the two androids started to fly apart.
"What now?" the Arsudu wondered. Sci just smirked.
"You'll see," he replied as they started to fly around him.
"Do whatever you like kids, but in the end you can't beat me."
"We'll see about that!" Sci exclaimed, and the two androids only started to fly faster and faster around Telew until they were nothing but blurs. The ring they had created around the Arsudu started to slowly rise in the air as the spinning continued. Suddenly out of the ring came thousands of ki blasts, but Telew didn't bother to move.
"Rookies," he whispered as the blasts completely passed him. The twister in the sky suddenly parted, and the androids blasted out. Before Telew could even put up a defense, the androids knocked him out of the sky with two swift kicks. Just as the Arsudu started to get up, Ari appeared in front of him, and knocked him into a tree with a strong kick. Sci suddenly appeared behind him, and blasted him into the ground. The android duo smirked as they floated over Telew.
"How was that old man!" Sci shouted. Telew just laughed as he got up.
"Such weak punches," he chuckled. "They only tickle." Sci growled, and shot towards Telew.
"How's this for weak punches!" the android exclaimed as he attacked with strong jabs. Telew smirked, and started to block Sci's attacks with little effort.
"Fast punches," he said as he blocked more. "But no foundation, no power."
"Shut up!" the black haired teen shouted, and gave Telew a strong jab to his face, but the red haired fighter countered with a swift punch to his stomach. As Sci couched over gasping for air, Ari came in and attempted a fast round kick to Telew's head, but the Arsudu easily ducked under it, and threw her over his shoulder.
"Sci, were going have to watch it, this geezer knows his stuff," Ari whispered. Sci nodded.
"Let's use our ace in the hole." Ari nodded in agreement, and the two separated.
"What attack will you use this time?" Telew asked when the two androids appeared on opposite sides of him.
"Watch this old man!" Sci said, as he and Ari put their hands in the same positions.
'Hand seals,' Telew thought when he saw them. Both androids started to glow for a few seconds before identical copies of themselves rose out of their shadows. But they didn't stop there, the androids kept on repeating the technique until Telew was completely surrounded.
"How do you like our shadow doppelgangers?" Sci asked with a chuckle.
"A nice trick, but a little out of your age group don't you think? Can you really control all of these doppelgangers? I don't think you can," Telew replied.
"We'll see about that! Attack!" Sci ordered, and all the doppelgangers shot towards Telew, all ready to fight.
"Yes we will," Telew muttered as his eyes started to glow red.
OOOOO
Goku and Piccolo sighed as they looked over everyone at the lookout. Everyone was slowly getting over the shock of hearing about Gohan's death, but Sasami, and Videl worried Goku and Piccolo the most. Ever since they had found out about Gohan's death they had secluded themselves from everyone, which couldn't be good for them in Goku's opinion.
"Goku," Piccolo said suddenly, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"What is it Piccolo?"
"I can't help but feel we're forgetting someone."
"Really? Who could we be forgetting?" The two thought for a minute before coming up with a conclusion.
"Hercule," they concluded in unison.
"I'll go get him," Goku said readying his instant transmission.
"Hold on Goku. What's the rush? Salga hasn't really attacked yet. Besides he has Buu with him, what could go wrong?"
"You don't like him that much do you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
OOOOO
Meanwhile, back in Orange Star City, the champion of the world, Hercule was playing out a crowd after he had successfully defended his championship in an tournament.
"Hear me people of Orange Star city and the world! Your champion will never leave you without a fight! I will never give up my championship to some two-bit kid who doesn't know the first thing about martial arts! This I swear!" The crowd roared as their hero refitted his belt around his waist, and let out a loud victorious yell.
"Hercule! Hercule! Hercule!" the crowd chanted.
"You see Buu that's you talk up a crowd," Hercule whispered Buu who in the ring with him. "This is something you'll need to learn when you become a champ. Get it?" Buu nodded, and watched as Hercule continued to gloat about his victory. Buu was about to go get something to eat when something caught his eye. He saw four comets fall from the sky, and crash into the center of the city.
"Hercule, Hercule," Buu said as he tapped his friend on the shoulder.
"What is it Buu?" Hercule asked as he turned around.
"Buu just saw four falling stars crash in the middle of the city."
"Huh? Are you sure? I thought you couldn't see falling stars in the day."
"But Buu saw four. And now Buu has a bad feeling in his tummy."
"Maybe your just hungry." Buu shook his head.
"Buu is going to see the falling stars." Hercule quickly jumped on Buu's back when he about to take off.
"Something has been brought to my attention! But do you worry, your champ will return!" Hercule shouted as Buu flew off, leaving a speechless crowd.
OOOOO
Telew quickly dodged another set of blasts courtesy of the many doppelgangers created by Sci and Ari. He was running through the forest dodging the rain of blasts the doubles were firing. As he ran two more sets of doubles suddenly appeared in front of him, and fired two powerful ki blasts. Then from behind him, the other doubles fired their own sets of powerful ki blasts.
"Damn," Telew muttered as the blasts came closer. The blasts collided and covered the whole area where Telew was standing in smoke.
"Ha, got him," Sci said as he stared into the smoke trying to spot Telew's body.
"Think again!" Telew shouted from the air.
"What!" Telew raised his clawed hand, and brought it down on Sci, but he growled when his attack only passed through him.
'Damn! A double!' he thought.
"Take this old man!" a set of Sci doubles exclaimed from behind him, and blasted Telew into the ground. As he got up, an Ari double appeared in front of him, and kicked him into the air. While he was flying through the air, another Ari double teleported behind him, and knocked him higher. Telew smirked when he saw yet another Ari appear in front of him.
"Now I have you!" he exclaimed, and fired a strong blast, but he growled deeper when it only went through her. "Shit! Another one!" Telew was suddenly kicked through two trees by a Sci double that appeared behind him.
"You can't win old man," he said. Telew got up with a groan, but only to be knocked his back again by a swift kick from an Ari double. When he looked up he saw all the doppelgangers floating above him with their hands pointed down at him.
"We aren't going to miss this time!" the copies exclaimed, and fired their blasts. Telew quickly put up his guard, but it wouldn't do much. In a matter of seconds where Telew was laying was nothing but large hole.
"HA! That had to have gotten him!" one of the Scis laughed.
"No wait, look," an Ari said, and pointed to the shifting rock. Telew arose with the top part of his gi burned off, revealing countless wounds and small cuts on his chest. His legs shook as he slowly walked out of the large hole.
"You…kids…are going to have to do better than that!" the Arsudu exclaimed. One of the Scis just laughed.
"You can barely walk old man! I can feel that most of your ki was lost in that last attack, and you can't sense us because we're androids so you can't tell where the real ones are! There's no way you can win!" Telew just smirked.
"Not everything is as it seems little boy," he muttered as he laced his fingers together, forming the same hand seal the androids did.
"You're going to try to make shadow doppelgangers like us? Don't make me laugh old man! There's no way you can do that technique!" Telew's suddenly flashed red again, and the Arsudu proved the android boy wrong when two copies of Telew emerged from his shadow.
"Surprised little boy?" they said in unison.
"How?"
"One of my special abilities. When I lock onto the eyes of enemy, using my own ki I can lock onto theirs, and copy their ki. This way I know every technique they do, and by using even more of my ki I can even use it," one of the Telews explained.
"But we're androids, we don't give of ki!"
"True, but your doppelgangers do. You two maybe androids, but your copies are made up of nothing but ki. So all I had to do was lock my eyes with only one of them."
"Even if you copied our technique, there are only three of you! There are at least twenty of us! You can't win!" Ari exclaimed, but Telew only smirked again.
"Quality not quantity my dear." The three Telews suddenly split in three different directions confusing the androids, and their copies.
"Don't worry!" a Sci shouted. "As long as we're able to sense his ki we can tell which one is real!"
"That's just the thing Sci!" an Ari replied. "We can sense all three of them!"
'That bastard, he divided his ki evenly into his two copies so we wouldn't be able to tell where the real one is!'
"There's one!" another Sci copy shouted, and fired a ki assault, but the attack only passed through him, and hit a set of Sci and Ari copies, destroying them.
"I know now that only your own attack can defeat a doppelganger," Telew voice said with a chuckle as his clones flew through the pack of copies. The copies kept on firing blasts, but their attacks only kept on hitting their own.
"Telew," Sci growled. "He created only two to confuse us! With only three of him, the copies can't keep up them! So as a result they'll keep on attack hoping they're hitting him, but he and his copies will only dodge so that we'll hit each other!" Sci concluded.
"Sci what do we do now?" Ari asked fearfully as she watched more of their copies being destroyed.
"I'm…not….I'm not sure!" Sci admitted. Eventually there were only two more copies left. Telew and his two copies suddenly flew back at three different angles of them, one higher in the air, another across from them, and the last one on the ground below them.
"What is doing now?" Ari asked. The Telew smiled darkly as they gather to their hands.
"Now take this androids!" they all shouted. "Double Flash Attack!" the two androids readied themselves for three different blasts, but in an instant, they were engulfed in only one blast. When the smoke cleared, Sci and Ari were in pieces.
"But…there….were….three of you," Sci's head said weakly as he was slowly being shut down.
"I know, but those two copies weren't to fire the blast, just to confuse you into thinking my blast was coming in a different direction," Telew explained as he reverted back to his form.
"You're….nothing…but a trickster…old man," Sci growled, but Telew silenced him forever by smashing his head with his foot.
"That'll teach you to call me old," he growled and flew off.
OOOOO
Gohan cried out in fear before dodging a passing plane. He sighed with relief and continued.
"Man I didn't even know they had planes in Other World," he muttered as he continued to fly. "I've flying for while now, and I don't think I'm close at all." When he saw a large front yard with a massive white palace on a hill not too far away. As Gohan floated to the ground he saw countless warriors sparring, and training with each other. When reached the ground he started to walk towards the palace, but not without looking around at the many warriors flying around.
"Hey watch it!" a voice shouted when Gohan accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry sir," Gohan apologized, but his eyes widened when he saw the man he bumped into. He wore green Saiyan armor, with a small scar on his cheek. On his forehead were a red bandana, and a green scouter over his eye. But what surprised Gohan the most was his jet-black hair that went out in every direction.
"What are you looking at?" he asked harshly. Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"Dad?" he asked. The man looked at him like he was crazy.
"What are you talking about kid? I'm not your father!"
"Huh? But you have the same exact hairstyle as my dad. If you're not my dad then who are you?"
"My name is Bardock, I'm not your father kid," he growled.
"Oh, my dad's name is Goku, but Vegeta calls him Kakarot." Bardock's eyes widened in shock, and he grabbed Gohan by his shoulders.
"You had better not be making this up kid!" he shouted as he started to shake him.
"No, I'm not! Vegeta calls him Kakarot all the time," Gohan replied.
"Kakarot, have you really grown that much?" Bardock whispered. "What's your name boy?"
"Gohan."
"Gohan huh? Well Gohan, meet your grandfather."
OOOOO
Sasami sighed as she watched the passing clouds from the Lookout. Her tears had stopped falling, but she knew that they would only start again. The pain in her heart was too unbearable. The young Juraian girl felt like dying herself, just to be with Gohan again, but she knew that wouldn't help anyone else. Besides they would probably just wish her back so what was the point. Sasami looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for something, but she wasn't sure what. Chi-Chi had fainted from the shock, and was resting, and Goku and Piccolo were standing on the edge just watching the clouds. She could feel the restless feeling in everyone, but for what she wondered.
"Hey," a voice suddenly said next to her. Sasami turned her head, and saw the girl Gohan was with when she saw him that time.
"Oh…hi," she whispered trying to hide the resentment in her voice.
"I don't think I've seen you around here before. What's your name?" the girl asked.
"I'm….Sasami."
"Oh, I'm Videl. What are you doing up here? I don't think I saw you during the Majin Buu incident."
"No, I came here to see Gohan, but…."
"Oh," Videl replied understanding. "You knew him?" Sasami nodded.
"I've known him for seven years. Here look," the blue haired girl then fished in her pocket and pulled out the pictures they took on their last date. Videl smiled slightly when she saw them. She had to admit they did look cute together. Videl looked at the Sasami in the picture, and the one that sitting next to her, if she didn't know better she would have thought they were two different people. The one in the picture was bright, and cheerful, while the one next to her was dark, and silent, and maybe a little suicidal.
'That's understandable though,' Videl thought. 'I mean she just found out the friend she's known for years is dead.'
"So…how do you know Gohan?" Sasami said. She wanted to know what happened to make Gohan fall for her too.
"Oh, well I met him in high school. And I have to say it wasn't one of those love at first sight things." Videl then started to tell Sasami everything, about Saiyaman, how Gohan got blackmailed into going on a date, her blackmailing Gohan to get into the tournament, and Majin Buu. When Videl was finished, Sasami was laughing, which was something she thought she wouldn't do again.
"So Gohan got blackmailed twice?" she giggled. Videl nodded with a laugh.
"It was hilarious! That whole big secret was just that he wore teddy bear underwear!"
"If he wanted to be a superhero he should have been more careful." The two girls shared a good laugh, and started to swap stories. Piccolo, who was able to hear the whole thing smirked.
"Hey Goku, look over there," the namek said as he pointed to the laughing girls. Goku just smiled.
"Hey, they're getting along after all," Goku replied with a smile. The two turned around when they heard Dende rush towards them.
"What is it Dende?" Piccolo asked.
"Guys….we have a problem," he panted.
OOOOO
The ground shook wildly as the four comets Buu saw crashed in the center of Orange Star city. The comets however were actually four spaceships. They were small, but not as small as Saiyan spaceships. They were long and white with wings similar to a plane. When the hatches opened five men stepped out in each of the four ships, equaling twenty. The men wore white armor that covered their whole body. Their helmets had black visors so they could see. In their hands were long black blaster rifles, and two smaller pistols on their sides. The crowd froze when a soldier with a red cape stepped forward.
"People of Earth! We are the soldiers of his highness lord Salga! If you surrender now none you Earthlings shall be harmed!" he announced. The crowd after a while started to laugh hysterically.
"People of Earth surrender and you won't be harmed! What a joke!" a teen laughed.
"Hey kids did Halloween come early this year!" a man chuckled.
"What a load!" another teen shouted with a laugh. The leader made a fist.
"We warned you. Now men, present arms!"
"Present arms!" the soldiers repeated as they held up their rifles to firing positions. The crowd however didn't cease laughing.
"This probably just a part of some candid camera show!" a girl said with a scoff.
"They almost got me," her boyfriend replied as he stared at the extremely realistic rifles.
"FIRE!" Loud blasts were heard all over the city as the soldiers fired. The people's laughter was very quickly replaced with screams when they saw the amount people fall lifelessly.
"Let's get outta here!" a man shouted, and he and his family ran.
"Fire!" the leader ordered again, and the air was filled with red blasts that killed even more people. "Now storm city! Take no prisoners!"
"Sir!" the soldiers shouted, and ran throughout the city, firing at will, showing no mercy. Eventually a whole portion of the city was in flames. The bodies of the innocent covered the street, and the sidewalks, and it was only getting worse. The loud sirens of the fire department, ambulance, and the police blared through the city streets as they rushed to the scene.
"This is the OSPD! Drop the rifles and put your hands in the air!" a cop shouted.
"Finally, I was wondering when your militia would show up," the leader said.
"Put down the rifles!" the cop repeated. The leader simply raised his hand.
"Fire!" he ordered. With that one word, the air was once again filled the red blasts. The police quickly ducked under their cars, and waited for the blasts to cease.
"Return fire!" the cop shouted, and the police started to shoot back, but their eyes widened when their bullets only bounced off the white armor the soldiers wore. "What…the…hell?"
"What primitive technology. Men, now, fire!" many of the officers then fell because of the pure speed of the blasts. More police cars sped to help, accompanied by three helicopters.
"Surrender now!" the commissioner shouted from one of the helicopters. The leader only chuckled, and pulled out three grenades from his belt.
"Men get ready to fire!" he yelled, and threw the three grenades into the air. "Fire!" As soon as their blasts hit the grenades, they exploded into countless smaller grenades that easily destroyed all three helicopters, and speeding police cars. "Now men, find the leader of this city, and force him to surrender the city!"
"Stop right there you fiends!" a strong voice shouted from above. The soldiers looked up, and saw Buu swoop down from the air with Hercule on his back. The people started to cheer, and chant when they saw their hero make an appearance.
"So just are you?"
"I am the world martial arts champion. And I'm here to make you bastards pay for what you've done," Hercule said as he looked around the ruined parts of the city. "Why are you doing this anyway!"
"We were ordered by Lord Salga to take over this city, and once the lord has made an order we must follow," the leader replied.
"Yeah well tell your master if wants this city he'll have to go through me!" the champion shouted, and rushed towards the leader. "Take this! Megaton Punch attack!" When Hercule's punch connected with the leader's chest everything was silent for a while, until the champ jumped back yelling and holding his fist.
"Stupid Earthling," the leader muttered.
"Ahh! What the hell is your armor made of!" Hercule shouted.
"About twenty layers of pure titanium. Master Salga melted all twenty layers into one metal."
"Yeah well that won't stop me!" the champ shouted and rushed in again.
"I don't have time for this," the leader mumbled, and pulled out his pistol.
"Hercule no!" Buu shouted, but it was too late. A loud BANG rang through the air, and the world's champion was laying motionless on the ground. Buu rushed over to his friend's side, and tried to wake him up. "Hercule, Hercule!"
"Some world champion," one of the soldiers muttered. Buu growled, and made a tight fist. Steam shot out from the openings in his head, and a purple flaming aura started to surround him.
"What's this?" the leader wondered as he stared at Buu in awe.
"You…hurt….Buu's friend," Buu said softly. "BUU MAKE YOU PAY!"
AN: Man was this chapter took a long time write! I never had to explain so much in one fight. Oh and sorry if Telew's fight was a little Naruto-ish, I've been reading too much of the mangas online recently. Oh, and another, I've been getting this question ever since I started this fic, and it's will it be a Tenchi-styled love triangle? And this answer is no it's not, I hope you can tell by this chapter. A Tenchi-styled love triangle doesn't fit the overall mood of this story, not only that, but it really isn't my style. Well unless I was writing a romantic-comedy, which I have yet to do, but I might when I'm finished with this one. I'm thinking of having it a Gohan/Sasami AU kind of thing. I'm still messing around with the idea. Tell me what you think of this idea, while your telling what you think of this chapter of course. Well anyway, will Majin Buu be able to stop the first wave of Salga's army? Is Hercule still alive? Will Videl start to resent Sasami when she finds out that she's in love with him too? How will Gohan react in learning that Bardock is his grandfather? You'll just have to read the next chapter of the Salga Saga. See ya!
