Author's
Note: Ok,
I haven't put up any NEW chapters, but I rewrote the ending of this
one. Halfway through writting the next chapter I realised the beginning
of it would fit better as the ending here. Hope I'm not confusing
anyone right now. Though no one reviewed chapter 2 or 3, I have decided
that the reviewers deserve a bit more credit. There aren't many of you
so I should be extra gentle with you
Dark Goku - Do you know you were my first reviewer EVER!
josh - I agree, bad guys rule, and with my super author powers their chances of winning increase >D
chrey419 - He did train, but not like everyday. He was already the strongest in the universe so there was no need. Great to see you like it.
ssj-vash - Again, great to see ppl like my work and if I can help it, it will improve.
InjuredPelican - Thank You! Sorry I didn't update that fast. BTW, your humor fics are humorous D
Episode three: A Dash For Safety.
Last time...
Vegeta's now starting to feel sick, as he darkens even more. When he's almost completely black he realizes what's going on. The weird attack is focussing his Ki in the center of his body, it's using his own power against him. Just as he turns to glare at his opponent a huge explosion is triggered.
"Vegeta, NOO!" Goku's eyes widen as he sees the enormous explosion. Caine slips off in a hysterical maniacally laughter, realizing Goku is now hanging still in the air... and the perfect target. Soon enough another scream is heard as Goku takes a direct hit from the second orb. Goku has seen what happened to Vegeta and decides its best if he lives, even if he has to use up almost all his energy to survive. Starting off by transforming to SSJ3 Goku then fires a large quantity of small ki-blasts at his opponent. Caine, who's still laughing, doesn't see them coming and even more dust fills the area. After a little while a soft small explosion is heard.
Meanwhile at Capsule Corp. Trunks is going berserk after feeling his fathers power drop into nothingness. No one can even try to stop him as he flies off to face his father's killer. While flying he spots Goten who is also on his way to the battlefield.
"Hey Trunks! Are you feeling what I'm feeling?" Goten asks with a scared impression on his face.
"Afraid I am Goten. To make it worse, dad's power is almost gone. I'm gonna kill the bastard that did this!" saying so, he blasts off faster, as SSJ. Goten struggles to keep up and then he feels it. Just as they neared the battlefield a strong familiar power is closing in fast.
The dust has settled and Goku is still pretty much alive, supported by a battered and bruised Uub. And to Caine's astonishment, so is Vegeta, only he's not standing.
"What! That blast should've killed you for sure. Guess my batteries are still not fully charged yet. Don't worry, my full power will return to me. But first, let's wrap this up." Caine gets ready to finish his work but is interrupted.
"You won't get the chance to use it anyway!" says a heavy voice. Caine turns to see Brolly's powered fist slam in his face. After skidding a few meters he quickly jumps up swiping some blood from his mouth.
"Big mistake bud, you'll die for that!" he says and charges at Brolly. Both fighters fade out as he reaches him. The sounds of battle fill the air as the ground starts to tremble under the huge forces of the blows.
"Wasn't that Brolly?" an amazed Goku asks Uub. Of course he hasn't the slightest idea who 'Brolly' is. He just shrugs it off and is surprised to see Goten land next to them and Trunks near Vetega.
"It is. What happened here?" Trunks says while checking the unconscious Vegeta.
"Long story, don't ask. Geez you've grown a lot." Goku replies. "Did you bring any Senzu beans?"
"Yes, we have. And no we haven't. We just got here as fast as we could." Trunks picks up Vegeta and continues. "I think it'd be best if we leave now. You're in no condition to fight Broly right now."
"Well, Brolly isn't the problem. It's the other guy, he wants to blow up the Kai's and then the universe! We can't just run away and let him!" Goku tries to stand on his own, but can't. "Ok, maybe you're right. But only to get some Senzu beans so we can fight again."
Just then the battle stops and Caine turns to Goku and the others.
"And why should I let you? Just so you can come back fully healed and try again?" he asks. "What makes you think you'll do any better next time, if there ever is a next time." he adds with an evil grin. And to back his words he starts powering up a ki-blast.
"Red... Beam..." at this Goten goes SSJ2 and starts charging a Kamehameha-wave. Trunks, who still carries Vegeta, motions Uub and Goku to follow him and they fly off.
"Cowards!" Caine thinks to himself as he charges his blast further, aiming it at the fleeing Z-fighters. "Of... Destrucion..." Goten is almost finished with his Kamehameha as well and in an effort to help, Brolly moves in to pummel Caine, only to get treated to the full force of his blast when Caine turns to face him instead.
"FIRE!" A dark red beam of transparent energy leaves Caine's palms and hits him dead on. After hitting Brolly the beam changes direction towards Goten, who cannot fire his Kamehameha because it would incinerate Brolly on the spot. Instead he drops the attack and quickly jumps up to avoid getting hit by the attack, still carrying the legendary Super Saiyan of this millennium.
"AAAAAAAAH! No... not like... this, not... again!" Brolly yells as he gathers strength to deflect the attack. Caine is pretty impressed when he actually manages to deflect it. More proof for his power being far from his maximum.
"Damn, I might actually be in trouble when those other baboons come back. Guess I'll have to finish this quickly." Just as he finishes his thought a knee connects to the back of his head which sends him flying. When he brings himself to a stop both fighters have disappeared. "Great!" Suddenly two massive waves of energy crash into him from behind.
Meanwhile at Korin's place, Goku, Uub and Vegeta have gotten their Senzu beans from the fat guy (Know his name, but not how to spell it. Sorry!) which enrages Korin greatly because he gave away 'his' beans. After thanking him thoroughly, with the exception of Vegeta, they all set off again.
"Good luck guys, looks like you need it!" the cat says and watches them leave.
The smoke clears and there stands a battered Caine. Yep, he is definitely not at his full strength. To make it worse, those other guys have just come back.
"Grrr, I can't believe myself. What a joke! I'm actually running away!" Caine says to himself. He turns to face his enemies. "Sorry I can't play longer, but I need to recover my strength. Don't worry though, I'll be back to kill you and finish what I started 1500 years ago!" he snarls, and he fades away before any can make a move.
"What a coward!" Vegeta exclaims.
"Well at least he's gone for now. I thought it was gonna be a lot harder actually." Goku answers. "Old Kai assured me he could easily take us both, but I guess he overreacted a bit."
"Uhm… Goku? You think we can finish our training now? I really need to get back soon." Uub asks Goku. Goku agrees, and after some… ok many complaints by Goten he and Uub fly off to finish Uub's training. The only thing remaining is the exam.
Meanwhile, on a distant planet beyond even the senses of the Kai's…
"Beaten by some low class idiots! AAARGH!" and another giant rock explodes. "I had no idea I was that weakened! And stupid me rushed off into a battle without checking my reserves! Now I'm even more drained and it'll take even longer to recover. At this rate, I won't be fit for battle for at least 2 months!" Caine's mind rattles to find an answer to his little power problem. He can come up with only one: to rest, in other words to do absolutely nothing.
"Well, since I'm not really going to be leaving this place anytime soon I'd might as well see what this planet has to offer."
Caine begins his period of rest and relaxation. Meanwhile, on Earth Goku and Uub have finished training. After promising to protect the world should anything happen, Uub leaves to join his family at his village. Goku returns home and is overwhelmed by his family members. He is forced to spend some quality time with them after not seeing them for years. Not that he minds that, but in the back of his head he can't forget about a certain person who swore revenge. Brolly leaves Earth in a spaceship 'borrowed' from Capsule Corp. He isn't taking his task lightly, he was told he might be given a second chance at life if he beat Caine, or at least he wouldn't be send back to the Home For Infinite Losers. As Caine was still pretty much alive, Brolly is going to look for him, but is this really such a bright idea?
To Be Continued...
