Chapter 25
"Ok, Kakarot, you get the rest of them to safety, I'll stay and keep him buisy till you get back!" Vegeta said as he powered up to Super Saiyan 4.
Goku turned and started to rush to the others.
"Guys!" Goku shouted, "We have to get you out of here right now!"
Trunks and Goten nodded and grabbed Massacre's body. Both of them hoping she would hang on. Dende and Piccolo grabbed the Dragon Balls, and flew off along with Trunks and Goten. Buu stayed behind.
"Buu, you have to get out of here right now!" Goku shouted.
But Buu stayed where he was. Goku, noticing Superman was still there tried to grab him and Instant Transmission him somwhere safe. But the blue superhero just dodged his hand and faced the battle.
"I'm here of my own accord Goku, and I'm here to help. I will not leave, or abandon my friends. I have alot at stake in this battle as well." Superman said.
Goku looked at him with friendly eyes.
"Thank you," Goku said as he looked at his other friend.
"I suppose you aren't going to leave either huh?" Goku asked Buu.
The pink warrior looked at him with warm eyes.
"No Goku, I decided that if you and Vegeta don't make it, I'm going to put him out of his miserey once and for all." Buu said as he looked on at the battle.
Vegeta was trying to keep up with the fused android as best he could. But even at Super Saiyan 4 he was still no match for him. At least, not by himself. Vegeta then noticed that the android was slowly starting to lose his energy. Much more faster though than earlier.
"Kakarot!" Vegta screamed, "I could realy use some help here!"
Goku looked back and then powered up again. He flew to the battle and started his own attack on the android. Goku also noticed that with every energy attack the android launched, it's energy slipped even more. It was almost as if the android was using up it's energy too fast. Then it hit Goku, the fusion. Goku stopped and pulled Vegeta back.
"What are you doing? Get your hands off me!" Vegeta protested.
Goku just held him and powered down. Vegeta looked at him with concern.
"What in the hell are you doing Kakarot!" Vegeta demanded.
Goku pointed at the android.
"Can't you feel it? His energy, it's slipping away. With every attack, especialy energy based ones, he loses almost half of what he put out. I think the fusion must be wearing off." Goku explained.
Vegeta looked on, trying to sense what Goku was sensing. Then the warrior remembered what it felt like when he and Goku fought against Super Buu. When they dropped the barrier inside him. It felt like their energy had been sucked away. Both of them kept on looking at the android. Now it was even panting like it was out of energy. This was the golden oportunity, they could beat him now. But somehow, Goku knew that the android had a card up his sleeve. And was ready to use it at any given moment.
"Well, if he is losing energy, then why aren't we attacking him?" Vegeta said angrily.
Goku thought about it a second. Something was bugging him. If the android was losing energy, then why hadn't he tried to run away. Why did he still have a smirk on his face? And why didn't he try to finish it with one final attack like every other foe he had come against had? No, there was something that just didn't seem right to him. Something the android was hiding. Goku decided he wasn't going to take any more chances and he powered up again to his maximum.
"Finaly Kakarot, you understand the oportunity here." Vegeta said with a synical tone.
Goku then got into a famous stance.
"What are you doing?" Then android asked.
Goku just grinned.
"Doing something that you have no way of stopping." Goku said
Vegeta looked at them both and then powered up.
Goku looked at Vegeta, wondering if his friend had figured the same as him.
"No Kakarot, I wan't him! He's mine!" Vegeta said as he charged into battle once more.
Goku powered down his attack.
"No Vegeta!" Goku yelled.
It was too late, Vegeta was already poweing up a massive blast. The android sat there with a look of suprise on his face. Vegeta just watched as he got closer to his target, all the while, adding more energy to his attack. Vegeta flew straight at the android, every second he gained more ground. The attack forming in his hand getting stronger. Then Goku noticed something. There was a tiny glare coming off of the androids palm for just a second before it noticed his looks. The android quickly turned his hand. Goku then realized what the android was waiting for.
"Vegeta!" Goku screamed.
But it was too late, Vegeta stopped in mid air and fired his attack. The wave shooting foreward at the android with extreme velocity. The android flung his arm up, palm exposed to the attack as if he was going to push it out of the way. But what happened next struck fear into the Saiyan Prince. The energy wave met with the androids hand, and instantly started to flow into it. Vegeta barely caught the look of the android. Grining from ear to ear, the android started to laugh, with a look of madness. Vegeta stopped his attack, hoping he could end this. But it was too late. The android had absorbed the entire attack, and it had replenished it's reserves.
"HA HA HA HA HA!" The android laughed.
"Great! What a fool I was!" Vegeta thought to himself, "Instead of finishing this thing, I've managed to make it worse! How are we going to stop it now?"
Vegeta looked on at the android, getting angrier at himself for not thinking like a true warrior would. He used to be the best at planning a battle. Why was it he was making such mistakes now. First it was mistake number one: Under estimating the android in the first place, Second: Was not being there when his family needed, and Third: For not taking careful considerations of what this thing was capable of. But then why is it that Kakarot was going to shoot a blast at him if he knew that would happen? There had to be a motive for it. And that was Vegeta was going to find out right now. He flew over to Goku, and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Why didn't you warn me he was going to do something like that!" Vegeta asked, "It was usefull information, and might I add, critical!"
Goku looked at him and smiled.
"I figured you had it all under controll and figured out yourself." Goku said sheepishly.
"Hrmph, and I thought you were a warrior!" The android yelled at Vegeta.
Vegeta spun around, looking in disbelief at the insolent android that had spouted off such disrespect to a Saiyan Prince.
"NO, it's not worth it Vegeta," Goku said, "You know neither one of us can take him like this. It's just a waste of energy."
Vegeta slowly turned around and looked at Goku with disgust.
"Oh no, no way Kakarot, not even for you. I will not perform that stupid pose!" Vegeta said distastefuly.
Goku looked at Vegeta with pleading eyes.
"Come on Vegeta! You've done it before! And you know all the correct moves, and stances." Goku pleaded.
Vegeta turned and grunted.
"Not on your life Kakarot, I'm much happier in my own body thank you. And I will not subject myself to the childish games he plays." Vegeta said.
Goku looked at him more seriously.
"But Vegeta, If there were any other option, you know I'd use it! But we have no other choice! Otherwise everything we have worked so hard to protect, it will be gone! Bulma, Trunks, Bulla, they'll all be dead!" Goku screamed at Vegeta.
Vegeta started at that last part. He would lose his family, the one thing on this meaningless planet that actually meant anything to him. If anything on this planet were to cause him to lose his temper, it would be to lose them. They were all that mattered, they were the only reason to fight. Even beating Kakarot, was nothing compared to his family. Vegeta turned and straightened up and folded his arms.
"And yet again Kakarot, you have found a way to force me to humiliate myself for the sake of the planet." Vegeta sneered.
Goku grinned widely and thrust his fist up in the air.
"Yes! Thanks Vegeta, this will be the last time I swear it." Goku said happily
Vegeta grinned and grunted as he folded his arms and floated over to Goku. He then took his place and got into his stance. A look of discomfort on his face as he prepared to proceed with the fusion. Goku got into his position and got into stance.
"You two must be very foolish if you think I'm going to let you fuse!" The android shouted as he dissapeared.
Goku and Vegeta looked aroud trying to figure out where the android had gone. Vegeta flinched as he sensed where the android was and turned to see it's fist slam into his own face. Vegeta flew, the force from the attack causing him to turn and flail his arms and legs. Goku looked on in horror as the android started its assault on Vegeta. The android appeared again next to Vegeta and kicked him upwards. Not letting the Saiyan recover, the android appeared above Vegeta, and slammed his fist into his stomach, and then planted his knee into Vegeta's back. The Saiyan let out a scream as the pain shot all over his body. Blood started to trickle out of his mouth, and from his brow. The android then grabbed the Saiyan by the hair and swing him around. The Saiyan managed to turn his body enough to let off an energy wave at the android. The blast hit, causing the android to let go of Vegeta, and send him flying towards the floor of the lookout.
"Damn you Saiyan!" The android shouted as he clenched his hand to his face.
Vegeta righted himself, and managed to land perfectly on the lookout. The stone, cracking from the sheer force of his landing.
"No, damn you android!" Vegeta yelled, as he shot another energy blast at the android.
Vegeta then flew back over to Goku, and got into position.
"Hurry Kakarot, he isn't going to stay down!" Vegeta shouted urgently.
Goku and Vegeta then started thier Fusion Technique. Both exactly mirroring the other.
"Fuuuu-" Both said in unison.
"Sion" The pair of saiyans finished the second part of the technique.
Then the two warriors then finshed the pose, angling thier bodies together.
"Ha!" They finished.
There was a bright light, and a loud bang, as the two started to drift towards each other. Their bodies turning to energy of oposite colors. Then in another flash of light, and a sound of an explosion, a persons features started to appear. His hair was like both Goku's and Vegeta's combined, but it was red in color. HIs body was the same as thier Super Saiyan 4 bodies. He had his own separate clothes though, vest black with yellow outlines. And white fighting pants, with a blue sash belt. Fur covered his body like both Goku and Vegeta's, with exception for his pectorial muscles and his abdominal muscles. His hands were even normal, but his arms were covered with the red hair. His face, closely resembling Goku's yet having some of Vegeta's features. The brightness of the fusion light died down, and the new fighter floated with his head down. and his arms drooping to his sides. His tail was curling and always moving. The new fighter then looked up at the android, and smiled.
"Ah, so you're my opponent." The new fighter said.
The android looked on, a look of annoyance on his face.
"Damn! Why does this always happen?" The android said.
The new fighter, looking on very casualy, then tensed up his body and started to concentrate his energy into an attack. The android completely thrown off guard, scrambled to put his arms up to block.
"I am neither Goku, or Vegeta. I am the instrument, of your demise! And this time, I won't screw up!" The fighter said.
The android chanced a look at the fighter and decided to ask a question.
"So, do you have a name, or would you like me to give you a suitable one?" The android asked.
The fighter looked at the android with anger.
"I have a name, it's Gogeta!" Gogeta said angrily.
Gogeta then flung his hands in front of him and launched his attack.
"Kamehameha times ten!" Gogeta shouted.
The android pulled his ams back up in front of his face, and groaned as the blast hit him. Gogeta let the attack subside, watching for any sign of the android dodging the attack. If he had all the knowlege of Goku, then he would know how to use the Instant Transmission Technique. Instead, the android stayed where he was. Gogeta let the cloud subside, watching as the familiar form of the android appeared.
"Well, at least you didn't fly appart. Then there would be too many peices of you to pick up." Gogeta said with a grin.
The android looked on. The anger showing very prominetly on his face, he flew back and started to gather energy for an attack. Gogeta got into a defensive pose and readied himself for the attack.
"We'll see who's laughing after this Saiyan!" The android yelled.
The android let off his attack launching a very powerfull blast. The blast heading straight at Gogeta. But the Saiyan warrior, instead of defending, flew right at the blast. The android astonished tried to understand his opponents movements.
"What is he doing?" Buu said with concern.
Then, at the last second, Gogeta stoped and put his hands foreward.
"BIG BANG!" Gogeta screamed, "KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!"
An energy ball appeard in front of Gogeta and a wave then emited from it. It spread to the entire width of the energy ball from the android. There was a large explosion and Gogeta's attack kept on going right at the android. The android tried to block, but was too shocked to bring his arms up quick enough. The blast him him with full strength, engulfing his entire body.
"This is for, MY FAMILY!" Gogeta screamed as he pushed more energy into the attack.
The android screamed, pain shooting through his entire body, both android's minds being engulfed by extreme pain. Gogeta subsided his attack, bringing his arms down, and powering down a bit. He sat there and let the dust and smoke settle.
"Now, let's see you survive that one, you big fake." Gogeta said with a sigh.
The dust started to clear as the wind picked up a bit. Gogeta then suddenly looked up, confusion on his face. Two figures started to appear in the dust, both of them looking bruised and beaten beyond belief. Gogeta then saw that it was the two androids, separated from the loss of energy it took to protect themselves. Both androids looked at each other with fear.
"If your there!" The Goku android said fearfully
"Then I'm here!" The Vegeta android said.
Both looked over to Gogeta, who sat there with a smirk on his face.
"Well, you may not have died, but you sure did run out of energy quick. Guess they don't build toasters like they used to." Gogeta sneered.
Both androids looked on in horor. Neither one allowing the other to move.
"NO! I AM THE PERFECT ANDROID! I WAS DESIGNED WITH ALL OF YOUR FIGHTING TECHNIQUES, ALL OF YOUR ABILITIES. ALL OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE!" The Vegeta android screamed
