"Don't worry kid 'cause I'm going to train you," Bardock said.
"What? You're going to train me?" Gohan repeated.
"Yeah, the skills that you've shown me prove that in the state you are now, even with King Kai's training you'd only die at the hands of your enemy." Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"What makes you so sure?"
"Kid I've been in countless battles, trust I know when a fighter's lacking skill." Bardock turned around as if thinking about something for a while, then after two minutes he turned back to Gohan. "Hey kid tell me, were you holding back during our little fight?" Gohan nodded.
"I didn't want to blow you away so I thought Super Saiyan was enough, but considering how easily you beat me it wasn't."
"I see," Bardock muttered. "Let's fight again, and this time give me your true power alright?"
"All right, but you asked for it," Gohan agreed as he started to power up.
OOOOO
The remains of Orange Star City shook as Goku and General Kinz traded blows. The people that had not escaped from the city hid anywhere they could, trying to escape from the rampaging Buu, who was still running around the city. The shook hard and fast indicating that the two fighters just gave each other strong direct hits. The strong but short earthquakes were able to make a certain champion of the world, slowly stir out of his unconsciousness.
"Uh…Buu…I got to…find you," he mumbled to himself and started to slowly get to his feet. "I've got to…stop him…before he…devours…the entire city." The champion clutched his wound tightly, and drug his feet across the ground trying to find his friend. But his wound soon got the better of him, and he was soon face first on the ground again.
'I'm not going to let it…. end like this! I'm the champion of the world damn it! And for once I'm going to act like it!' he yelled at himself and pushed his weakened body to its feet.
"Give up little man!" Kinz shouted and connected his powerful left hook with Goku's face.
"Not a chance!" the Saiyan replied and the general a hard blow to his stomach. Kinz winced for a split second before slamming Goku into the ground with a fist to his head. Goku quickly sprang to his feet, and gave the general a fierce kick across his face. As soon as he felt his feet hit the ground, the orange clad Saiyan blasted forward, and collided his elbow his Kinz's gut. The beefed up general coughed out blood, and fell to a knee. Not wasting time, Goku shot towards him again and made him lie on the flat of his back with a strong front kick to his chin.
"Not bad," he whispered and spat out a tooth. "But try this!" The general suddenly slammed his palm to the ground and four blasts shot through the ground, and towards Goku.
"You'll have to do better than that," the Saiyan said and simply floated into the air. Kinz just smirked, and spread his wide arms out.
"Gotcha!" he yelled, and clapped his mighty together. Seconds later a great blue wave blasted through the air and blew the Saiyan out of the sky. As he fell, Kinz teleported above him, and slammed his boot into Goku's gut, making him fall faster. When his back collided with the ground, blood flew out Goku's mouth as he gasped. Kinz chuckled and threw him out of the grand crater he created.
Before Goku could even breathe, Kinz got him to his feet, and wrapped his arms around him. The general smirked when he felt Goku struggle to escape from the bear hug, but the more he fought, the tighter the hole became. The Saiyan hero gasped in pain when he felt one or two his ribs break from Kinz's tight bear hug. He could feel his air becoming trapped in his throat and his lungs burning from lack of oxygen. His arms were trapped under Kinz's massive arms and the general had him high enough so that a head butt would be useless.
'Looks like I'll have to pull out the big guns for this one,' Goku thought and started to gather ki.
"I can feel you trembling under my arms!" Kinz laughed. "There's nothing to be afraid of! Just accept that you are about to die!" It was Goku's turn to laugh.
"I'm not trembling. I'm powering up!" As soon as Goku let out a loud yell, Kinz was blown away by a sudden tremendous amount of ki. A bright golden glow surrounded Goku for a few minutes before it finally went down and reveled his Super Saiyan 3 form.
"What's this?" the general growled. Goku just chuckled.
"Oh nothing just something to help me get this fight to move along more smoothly," the Saiyan replied.
"HA! Just because your hair is longer doesn't mean you're stronger!" Kinz laughed and blasted towards the Super Saiyan 3. Goku proved Kinz's theory wrong by easily avoiding his punch, and gave him a knee to his stomach that made him double back in pain.
"So want to propose another theory about my power in this form?" Kinz growled.
"I will not be defeated by you!" he shouted and blasted towards Goku. The Saiyan smirked, and caught his punch. "What!" Kinz tried another one, but Goku caught it with ease.
"My turn." In an instant Kinz was on the ground nursing his chin. "Give up you can't win."
"It's not over yet!" The general suddenly stomped on the ground and the four blasts shot towards Goku again. Just like last time, the Saiyan hero flew into the air. Kinz smirked. "I got you again!" He then clapped his hands together firing the wave, but Goku was prepared this time. He cupped his hands together and chanted a familiar attack.
"Ka Me Ha Me HA!" The blue wave easily overpowered Kinz's and in a matter of seconds the general was on the ground with a hole eight inches wide in his chest.
"…Damn…you," Kinz whispered as Goku floated to the ground.
"Well that was a disappointing fight," the orange clad Saiyan said as he powered down. Kinz just laughed.
"If you think that this is the end of it then you're dead wrong! Lord Salga has generals and assassins that are ten times stronger than I am. And he won't stop until the entire planet is under his control! I wonder what you'll do once you meet them." With those words passed on Kinz's eyes dropped and his body became lifeless.
'This isn't good,' Goku thought. 'It took Super Saiyan 3 to beat this guy. How powerful are these guys anyway?' He was about to go find Hercule a blast suddenly collided with his back. When he turned around he saw Majin Buu.
"You look tasty! Me thinks that me will turn you into chocolate!" With that the pink monster blasted towards Goku.
"Oh no!"
OOOOO
Sasami stared confusedly at the red haired swordsman who was conversing with Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha. She analyzed him up and down and saw that he didn't look like the Tei she knew that much. Except for the red hair and bluish green eyes.
'That can't be Tei-kun. There's just no way. And if it is, what did Washu do to him? And what's he doing here?' the young Juraian princess wondered. When she saw Piccolo and the others walk off, she decided now would be the time to approach him.
"Um…Excuse me," she said timidly. Tei turned around.
"What can I do for you?" he asked.
"Are you really Tei-kun?" she whispered. He hesitated.
"No, you must be thinking of someone else," he replied after a while.
"But Piccolo called you Tei."
"Yes, but it's a common name where I am from."
"Oh," Sasami said simply.
"Can I ask you a question now?"
"Sure."
"What are you doing here? I mean why did you leave home?" Sasami looked down.
"Well I came here to see Gohan."
"Oh I see," Tei replied. He might have been unconscious but he did hear Goku announce that Gohan was dead to everyone.
"I wanted to see him so bad," Sasami continued. "We spent so much time together, and went through so much. And after seven long years of waiting and hoping, Washu finally gave me a chance to crossover and meet him again." Tei smirked slightly.
'Good old mom,' he thought.
"And when did finally see him, he's already moved on already," Sasami whispered with tears trickling down her cheeks. "I waited so long, and hoping that he hadn't moved on, only find him kissing another girl, Videl."
"Oh. That had to hurt," Tei said sympathetically.
"You really have no idea. When I saw that I felt like my heart was shattered to pieces. And it was shattered again when he died in my arms. You have no idea how it feels to find the one person you love the most in the arms of another girl! And not only that but to have him die right in your arms! The pain is just too unbearable! And even though Chi-Chi told me how Videl helped Gohan get through a depression was going through when he came back, I still can't help but feel resentment towards her. When all of this is over, and they wish Gohan back, he'll only rush to her side, and leave me background. I don't belong here at all, I should just go home, but…I can't." Tei watched as tears started to flow from her eyes, and could do nothing but allow her to burry her face in his chest, and cry. But unknown to the two of them, Videl was listening the whole time.
OOOOO
Bardock got ready as soon as the golden glow from Gohan went down. His hair went all the way down to his waist, and his eyebrows were gone.
"What's this?" the older Saiyan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"This is what my dad calls Super Saiyan 3," Gohan replied, as he went into a stance.
"So there are other levels of Super Saiyan I see. I must strive to achieve them," Bardock said and dropped into a stance.
"Okay you wanted to see my true power right? Well here it is. Now let's go!" In a blink of an eye, Gohan was nose to nose with Bardock, and sent him flying with a fast punch. The older Saiyan quickly flipped backwards to regain balance, and used a cliff as a push off to rocket towards Gohan.
"Take this! Riot Javelin!" Gohan just slapped the attack away, and fired a powerful ki blast at his grandfather. Bardock barely dodged the blast, but when he turned around he was met with a strong fist to his face. Gohan landed just as Bardock slid across the ground.
"Is that all you got?" he asked. Bardock just smirked, and clapped his hands together.
"Hardly," The older Saiyan replied and slammed his hands on the ground, firing two strong blasts at the Super Saiyan 3. Gohan quickly took to the air to avoid it, but his grandfather appeared behind him.
"What!"
"Now! Riot Javelin!" The attack hit Gohan head on, but when the smoke cleared Gohan was unscathed. Bardock growled slightly, but kept his composer and hit his fists together.
"What now?" The younger Saiyan wondered as he raised an eyebrow.
"Double Heat Phalanx!" Both of Bardock's fists were covered in flames, and rushed towards Gohan, who just smirked and easily dodged the first attack. Bardock growled and tried to follow up with a back fist, but the teenager caught it with ease.
"My turn." In an instant Bardock was face first on the ground and Gohan in the air with his hands cupped. "Ka Me Ha Me HA!" Bardock quickly rolled out of the way, but the wave was so immense that he was caught in the explosion. Gohan floated to the ground when the smoke cleared and saw his grandfather in the dirt covered in bruises.
"You okay?" he asked as he powered down. The older Saiyan suddenly got up as if nothing happened.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry about me. I'm already dead, remember?"
"Oh yeah. So what did you think of my full power?"
"Well I got to admit for a kid your age you're really powerful. If the Saiyans were still alive then you'd be a part of the elite, maybe even a personal soldier of the king."
"But…" Gohan urged, knowing there was more coming.
"But," Bardock continued. "I still don't think your ready for King Kai's training, or to go back and face this Salga of yours."
"Why not? I mean like you said I am powerful."
"Yes, but overpowering your opponent isn't always the answer. There are times where you can't gather the power you need to defeat them so you have to use your head. Sometimes outsmarting and outmaneuvering your enemy is the only way to win," Bardock explained.
"I see."
"Not only that but your mind is so unfocused," the older Saiyan added.
"Eh?"
"Your mind, it's unfocused. A truly powerful warrior has complete stillness in his mind. When he's in battle nothing else matters but his opponent. I can sense that your mind is plaguing you with questions that you can't answer, so many what ifs, and conflicting emotions. Your mind is a complete mess kid."
"But how can you sense what my mind is telling me?" Gohan asked. "How can you do that?"
"When you've been here as long as I have you pick on a thing or two from other warriors," Bardock answered simply. "Now you tell me, why is your mind at such conflict?"
"Well…it's this girl," Gohan started.
"Oh, this'll be harder than I thought," Bardock mumbled.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, nothing. You were saying?"
"Well there's this girl that I really like, no it's more like I truly love. I love her with all heart and soul. I'm willing to do anything for her. Even give up my life to protect her."
"So then what's the problem? It sounds to me that you're already sure about your feelings for her. Don't tell me you haven't told her." Gohan shook his head.
"It's a lot more complicated than that. I've already told her that I love her, and she returned my feelings." Bardock raised an eyebrow.
"So then what's the problem?"
"You see about seven years ago, me and my old namekian teacher, Piccolo fought against this powerful warrior, Gallio. We lost, badly, and he sent us to another dimension. That's when I met her and all her friends, and over time they became my friends to. In fact we were almost like family," Gohan said with a chuckle, remembering sitting at the table with the Tenchi-clan, and trying to break up one of Ayeka and Ryoko's fights.
"Somehow Gallio found out that were still alive and sent tons of fighters after us. We defeated all of them somehow, most of them were insanely powerful. Well anyway, it soon came down to just Gallio and me. I had just recently unlocked a new power called the Dragon Wings, so the fight was close."
"Dragon Wings?" Bardock mumbled with a raised eyebrow. 'That old man I met a few months back, he mentioned them too. Could there be some type of connection?'
"After a long and hard battle I finally defeated Gallio, and Piccolo and the others brought back our fallen friends. The girl that I love was one of them. With them back the world was at peace. But shortly after Piccolo and I had to go back to our world," Gohan sighed and remembered the tearful goodbye he had to give Sasami. "It wasn't happy, but that's how our time there ended."
"And you're worried that you'll never see her again? Is that it?" Bardock guessed. Gohan once again shook his head.
"No. When we got back, I guess your could say I was in a sort of deep depression. I was barely eating, and all I did was look up at the sky, sighing. I even stopped training. At first I didn't know why this was happening, but after a while I got it. She was missing in my life, without her beside me there was a void in my heart. It was like I was only half alive."
'This kind of feeling only happens to mates who have been separated from each other. But he's far too young to already gain such a bond with a girl! I was twice his age when I found my mate!' Bardock thought.
"So when I turned eighteen my mom sent me to High School hoping that having interaction with kids my age would help me slip out of depression. And in a way it did, that when I met the other girl I love, Videl."
"Was it love at first sight?" his grandfather asked. Gohan just laughed.
"Anything but! When I first met her, she had all kinds of suspicions about me. She was always giving these weird looks and glares, and for a time it was really freaking me out. But as I got to know her more I started to see that there was more to her than that. She was smart, strong, and kind to my surprise to be honest. The more time I spent with her the more the void in my heart started to slowly close. I guess you could say I was starting to slowly accept that I was never going to see the other girl again. I started to fall in love once again, and started to see Videl as my one and only person.
"But that's when she came back. The girl that I fell in love with before came back. She completely caught me by surprise, but the minute I saw her I felt complete again. Like my life was finally back to how I wanted it to be. I really can't explain the amount of happiness I felt when I saw her again. But when my mother asked me, 'what about Videl?' I started to wonder which one that loved the most. I kept asking myself that question, until Videl came.
"I went to see her, and we talked for a while. Then soon after without thinking I kissed her. And I didn't realize that she was there until Videl left. Her look of shock and sadness killed me when I saw them, I felt so guilty. I tried to talk to her, but she slapped me and said that she hated me. Those words hurt me more than any opponent's punch. Shortly after that is when Salga came. But even as I fought him my mind was filled with questions and possibilities, and I guess that's why I died. And that's why my mind in such chaos. I just can't decide which one I want, I care about them too much to see either of them hurt." Bardock nodded as he listened.
"Yeah this will defiantly be harder than I thought it would be. So tell me what's the name of the girl you fell in love first?" Gohan smiled as he said her name.
"Sasami. Sasami, second princess of Jurai's Royal Family."
"SAY WHAT!"
OOOOO
"Stop this Buu! I'm your friend!" Goku exclaimed as he dodged Buu's wild attacks. The pink monster replied with a swift kick to Goku's stomach. The full-blooded Saiyan hunched over, but managed to evade Buu's next punch. Once Buu quickly realized he missed he whirled around and took a deep breath.
'Oh no, what now?' Goku thought. The pink monster opened his mouth and unleashed powerful white blast that shot straight for Goku at an alarming rate. When the blast hit its target Buu smirked and started to dance around.
"Him go boom!" the monster cheered, but stopped when his stomach growled. "Me still hungry."
"Then chew on this!" Goku shouted from the air. "Ka Me Ha Me HA!" Since he took Buu by surprise, the wave blasted through his chest and the monster fell lifelessly to the ground. The orange clad Saiyan floated to the ground and stared at the fallen monster. "Get up Buu I know you're not dead." The monster replied by stretching his arms and wrapped them around Goku's neck.
"You hurt Buu!" he growled as the hole in his chest closed. Goku gasped for air as Buu's grip tightened.
'This isn't good! With every passing second, his grip keeps on getting tighter and tighter. Not only that but I can feel his ki rising too! I don't remember him doing that the last time we fought!'
"Now, what should me do with you now? Should me kill you now? Or make you chocolate?" Buu wondered as Goku struggled to free himself from his grip. The pink monster opened his eyes and smirked evilly as he quickly retracted his arms, and pulled Goku into a well-placed kick to his stomach. The orange clad Saiyan yelled out in pain and fell his knees as he coughed out even more blood.
'I can feel his ki rising even now. What the hell is going on with him?' Goku wondered as the monster stood over him.
"You die now!" Buu declared and raised his foot.
"Buu! Stop!" a loud voice shouted. The two fighters turned their heads and saw a weakened Hercule leaning against a wall, clutching his wound.
"You look good, me thinks, me eat you next!" Buu said as he readied his antenna.
"Buu, don't you remember me? I'm friend, and the guy your about to stomp into the dust, he's your friend to! You said that you weren't going to kill people anymore, remember?" The monster lowered his antenna as he stared at the weakened Hercule, and his ki slowly went down.
"Hercule?" he asked slowly. The champion of the world nodded, and suddenly fell to the ground. Buu immediately rushed to his side, and started to heal him.
'What the heck just happened? A second ago I could probably feel Buu's ki from the Lookout, but now it's back to normal. Does that mean the evil in him isn't completely gone?' Goku thought as he got to his feet, and powered down.
"Goku," Buu started as he walked over to him with Hercule in his arms. "Buu's sorry." Goku just smiled.
"It's okay I guess. We'll just wish everyone back with the Dragonballs. Now hold on to me Buu, and we'll go back to the Lookout." The now peaceful creature held on the Goku's shoulder and in a second they were gone.
OOOOO
"Salga sir," Ginju said cautiously as he walked into his lord's room.
"What now?" Salga asked.
"Well there's been a problem on Earth sir."
"Kinz and his men failed didn't they?" Salga guessed.
"Correct." The lord just smirked.
"I figured they would. The only reason I sent them was to see just how powerful Earth's defenses were. Tell me who defeated them?"
"A very powerful warrior with a power that just kept on rising, and another warrior with a power much stronger than those fabled Super Saiyans." Salga chuckled.
"Well I had no idea there were more Super Saiyans. I thought that kid was only one. This should be fun. Ginju start our real invasion. Send our special armies."
"Yes sir."
'Watch out Earth, you're about get a new ruler.'
OOOOO
"So you're saying this general was powerful?" Dende asked Goku as he healed him. Hercule was already up and about saying his wound was nothing.
"Well he was strong enough to make me use Super Saiyan 3 to beat him," Goku replied.
"And based on Tei tells us I can tell this is only the beginning," Piccolo said.
"Yeah I can tell too," Goku agreed.
"Goku! Goku!" Baba shouted as she made her way up the tower. "Goku we have a major problem!"
"What's up Baba?" The full-blooded Saiyan asked as everyone crowed about the crystal ball.
"I did a quick check on Earth see if anything was coming and I saw countless fighter ships heading this way! All filled with powerful warriors that could rival Cell and Buu!" Everyone gasped.
"Damn it! How we going to beat such a large army! There isn't enough of us to take on all those guys at once!" Yamcha exclaimed.
"That's easy Goten and I will just use Fusion and beat all of them!" Trunks declared confidently.
"Don't you remember, Fusion only lasts thirty minutes and you need wait a whole hour before you can do it again. That's too much time to wait, and I don't think thirty minutes is enough to beat such powerful opponents," Piccolo replied.
"So just what are supposed to do!" Krillin exclaimed.
"I say we get an army of our own then we'll show those guys what we're made of!" Bulma said.
"Yeah, but just where are we going to get an army? The only planets we're truly familiar with is Namek, and they aren't really fighters," Tien replied.
"Oh."
"Damn it!" Piccolo growled as he watched the ships enter Earth's atmosphere from the ball. Sasami listened as they tried to come up with a solution. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the remote Washu gave her.
'Remember if you ever find yourself in a hopeless situation, just press this red button. It'll cause a portal to enter the house and we'll all be right over,' she remembered Washu saying.
"Um….excuse me," Sasami said softly, but no one seemed to hear her. "Excuse me!" Everyone turned towards her, wondering what she had to say.
"Do you have an idea Sasami?" Goku asked. Sasami nodded.
"Yeah. I know where we can get help," she said.
"Well why didn't you say anything before?" Bulma wondered.
"I just thought of it," the Juraian princess shyly stated.
"Well out with it already! Tell us where!" Vegeta shouted, but Bulma just tugged his ear.
"Don't have any manners at all Vegeta!"
"Well, everyone stand back," Sasami said, and then pushed the button. A strong wind suddenly blew through the Lookout as the portal started to take form. It was blue spiral that just kept spinning and spinning like a wheel. The wind blew fiercely, and whipped across the faces of everyone as the portal started to get bigger. The trees around it blew off the edge and dropped down to the ground. A white flash suddenly covered the entire Lookout, and all was silent.
"What in the hell just happened?" a voice wondered breaking the silence.
"Looks like Sasami pushed that little button I told her about," another voice said.
"What button you never mentioned a button! What else haven't you told us?"
"Now, now Ayeka no need to get violent."
"Is this some sort of desolate planet?"
"Hey Kiyone look it's Piccolo! Hey Piccolo! Hey where's Gohan?" Piccolo just slapped his forehead and groaned.
"Hey Piccolo are these the guys you and Gohan met when you were gone?" Krillin asked.
"Yes," the namek groaned. Vegeta looked at the odd group that seemed to pop out of nowhere, and his eyes stopped at the red haired one with blue eyes. Telew turned around when he felt someone's eyes on him. When two pride filled fighters' eyes met they both exchanged stone cold glares.
AN: Not much of an ending but I couldn't think of anywhere else to stop. Sorry I made you guys wait so long, so I made this chapter longer than normal since this where the actual crossover starts. I know you've all been waiting for this, Vegeta and Telew finally meet! How will they act towards each other? Will the Tenchi-clan be able aid the Z warriors? Will Bardock be able to help Gohan with his problems in both fighting and love? You'll just have to read the next chapter of the Salga Saga. And once again I'm sorry for the wait, I just all these stupid tests and final exams that I need to get ready for. Oh and I almost forgot I decided to make my Gohan/Sasami AU idea a Romantic Comedy. Which is a new ground for me, so if you're willing to submit idea I'd appreciate it. So anyway see ya next chapter. I'll try to make the wait not as long. No guarantees though.
