Hello everyone welcome to the next chapter. Let's get right in.
Tien stood there, unable to contemplate what had just happened. His best friend was gone, and this time he couldn't wish Chiaotzu back. The three eyed warrior fell to his knees crying. Tien felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see the Flash.
"Hey man, I may not have known him very well. I do know though, that he was a good man." Flash comforted Tien as he got up.
"He was the closest thing I ever had to a family. Now he's gone for good!" The two of them started to walk back. Until they looked backwards, both of them stopped in their tracks. Nappa had survived the attack. Everyone looked on in horror as Nappa walked towards them.
"I have to admit, that hurt!" Nappa cursed as the Tien charged up an attack. Flash though stopped him.
"No! In your condition, it's suicide if you fight." Tien was about to argue but Krillin stepped in.
"He's right Tien! Go to Kame house, get help from Bulma, we can handle this." The three eyed fighter had to admit defeat. With only one arm it was useless to fight. Tien just nodded and flew away into the distance. Nappa started to laugh.
"So two dead, one running like a cowa..." Before Nappa could finish he was sent flying backwards by the Flash. Barry started to run around Nappa, he was running so fast that the bald Saiyan couldn't even see him. Suddenly Nappa had an idea, he just put his arm out and knocked Flash unconscious. "Didn't your mum tell you not to play with your food?"
"Hey Idiots!" Gohan shouted at the Saiyans. "When my dad gets here you'll be sorry! He's stronger than both of you." This got Vegeta interested.
"Oh really? You know what I'm in a good mood today, Nappa halt your attacks." Vegeta replied as everyone looked confused. "If your father is a strong as you say I would like to fight him. He has three hours to get here, otherwise I let Nappa loose again."
"Vegeta, bu..." Nappa protested but was cut off by the prince.
"Do as I say Nappa!" The bald Saiyan just nodded as everyone gathered their breath. Krillin checked to see if Flash was ok. The bald monk lifted the speedster up a took him to the others.
.
Bulma stood there. It was painful that she couldn't do anything to help her friends. They were out there, risking their lives. She meanwhile was standing in a house wishing she could help. Bulma was comforted by Roshi.
"Don't worry I'm sure they are all fine." He said. Bulma though wasn't convinced.
"I just have a feeling that somethings gone terribly wrong." Bulma replied. Oolong suddenly rushed through the main enterance.
"You need to see this." He shouted. Roshi and Bulma looked as they saw Tien flying through the air. Bulma gasped as she noticed Tien was missing an arm.
"Tien what happened?"
"They were stronger than we thought, I lost my arm fighting one of them. Chiaotzu... Sacrificied himself to save me..." Everyone looked on in horror as Tien shed some tears. "The thing was, it was in vain. Chiaotzus sacrifice accomplished nothing!" Bulma started to treat Tiens wound.
"Is everyone else alright?" Bulma asked as Tien looked back at her, still crying.
"I'm sorry Bulma, Yamcha didn't make it either." The ceo of Capsule Corp looked at Tien with regret. She wanted to tell Yamcha that she was wrong. That he was worth fighting for, and now Yamcha was gone. Bulma hugged Tien, as she too was reduced to tears. "Don't worry, in a year we can just wish him back." All of them looked in the distance, contemplating today's events.
"We need you now more than ever Goku!" Roshi thought to himself.
.
Back with the others, everyone was on edge. The three hours were almost up and Goku was still nowhere to be found. Barry, now awake, was pacing up and down like a mad man. Batman was talking with Krillin and Diana, while Gohan was with Piccolo.
"Are you sure he is going to show up?" Batman asked.
"Goku has never let us down, I know he isn't about to start." Krillin angrily replied, Diana put her hand on his shoulder.
"Batman just wants to have a backup plan just in case." Diana said, Krillin shook her hand off his shoulder.
"You don't understand, Goku always comes through for us. Even in our darkest moments he always protects us."
"We're almost out of time! I have a plan to stop the bigger one, but if we go through with it then we might not have a way to beat the smaller one." Batman stated as the three were joined by Gohan, Piccolo and Flash.
"Looks like we have no choice. What's your plan?" Piccolo asked.
"Just watch for my signal." Vegeta and Nappa stood up.
"Well it's been three hours and no sign of Kakarot. I guess it's time to resume then? Nappa get them!" Vegeta yelled as Nappa stepped forward.
"So who wants a piece of me?" The bald Saiyan asked.
"Over here!" A voice shouted. Nappa looked to see batman standing in front of him.
"Oh this should be interesting, alright human show me what your made of." Batman charged at Nappa, punching him in the stomach. Nappa barely flinched as he crushed Batmans hand and lifted him up. The caped crusader cried out in agony as Nappa laughed.
"Are you all serious? This is the best warriors you have? Pathetic, any last words?" Batman then smiled.
"Close your eyes."
"What?" The batsuit revealed a nozzle that shot gas at Nappa. The Saiyan covered his eyes as he called out in pain. "What did you do?"
"It's called pepper spray. It temporarily blinds the eyes of whoever it may touch." Batman then turned to the other warriors. "Now!" They then all set off towards Nappa. Flash was the first to get there as he kept punching Nappa in the stomach at extreme speed. Flash then kicked him towards piccolo who smashed him in the head. Gohan was next as he tripped the Saiyan, Krillin then kneed him in his stomach. That just left the Amazon as she flew towards Nappa with determination in her eyes, shouting.
"This is for everyone you murdered!" Diana was about to swing but suddenly stopped. She dropped her sword, as the Amazon looked down all she saw was a whole in her chest. Everyone looked shocked as they turned around and saw Vegeta standing there, having just fired. Gohan rushed over to Diana's body.
"Come on Diana, wake up. WAKE UP!" Gohan cried out. Batman though confronted the young boy.
"I'm sorry, she's gone." Flash's sadness suddenly turned into anger.
"You! You son of a..." Barry suddenly rocketed at Vegeta. The prince was caught off guard and was sent flying backwards.
"What? That can't be, you were only a little faster than Nappa. How can you get the drop on me!" Vegeta said as Barry yet again punched him.
"I'm going to make you pay!" Back over with the others while they were all feeling sad, Nappa had got his bearings and stared at Gohan. He stood up, and then fired at the boy. Gohan's heart stopped as he saw the Ki blast charging towards him. He closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable.
However after a second he felt that nothing had changed. Gohan opened his eyes and couldn't believe what he saw. Piccolo was standing in front of him, and had taken the blow of Nappas attack. Piccolo cried out in pain as he fell backwards, time slowed for Gohan as his mentor hit the ground hard. The half Saiyan cried out as he lifted Piccolos head up.
"No, Mr Piccolo you can't die. I won't let you die." Gohan whimpers as the Namekian opened his eyes.
"Hey kid, guess I'm not walking out of this one huh?" Piccolo replied as Gohan started to cry. "Listen I don't have much time, so I just wanna say two things. Firstly never give up Gohan. I have never seen someone with more potential than you."
"I wont Mr Piccolo, and the second thing?"
"You are like the son that I never had. I'm proud to call you my friend Gohan" Piccolo then closed his eyes and drifted away.
.
Kami looked over the lookout, he had felt the attack by the Saiyan. Piccolo was dying, and that meant he was as well. Mr Popo was next to him as Goku arrived at the lookout from otherworld.
"I'm here Kami, I'm gonna make sure everyone's alright!" Goku yelled as Kami held out his hand.
"It's too late I'm afraid." Kami said as Goku stood next to him. "Piccolo is dying as we speak. This is the end of the road for me I'm afraid." Goku was left speechless after hearing what Kami said. "Mr Popo." The assistant of Kami looked at his master with sadness in his eyes.
"What is it?" Mr Popo asked.
"It has been an honour to serve beside you. Goodbye, my friend." Kami's body then disappeared into thin air. Mr Popo fell to his knees as he mourned his masters death, Goku clenched his fists.
"Mr Popo is everyone else alright?" Goku asked.
"We have also lost Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Diana." Mr Popo replied, this had gotten Goku even more upset.
"I guess it's time to get going." Goku then flew off the lookout into the oncoming battle.
.
Gohan felt weak, his father was taken from him last year. Now his mentor was gone as well. Piccolo might have once been evil, but during the whole year they spent together. Gohan had found something inside of the Namekian that no one else had been able to see, goodness.
After the initial shock had wore off though, anger started to build up in Gohan. The half Saiyan yelled out in pure rage. This had shocked even Vegeta, as the Prince had picked up his scouter after subduing Flash. Gohan started to power up his attack. Never before had so much darkness clouded his thoughts.
"Masenko..." Gohan aimed at Nappa as the bald Saiyan smiled.
"Oh yeah, this should be interesting." He muttered. Vegeta looked at the scouter again as Gohan's power level continued to increase.
"Wait Nappa, this one is much more powerful!" Vegeta yelled.
"HA!" Gohan fired his Ki blast right at Nappa, although due to Vegeta's warning, Nappa had manged to block it. As he saw his attack fail, Gohan fell to his knees out of energy. "I'm sorry Mr Piccolo, I tried." Vegeta smiled after seeing Gohan in action.
"Listen, you got heart, but you'll never be as strong as a Saiyan, kid." Everyone turned to Vegeta as he continued. "I think it's time to end this, Nappa finish them!" Nappa then charged his attack, and aimed it at Batman. The caped crusader barely even recognised an attack heading his way. Gohan, Krillin and the Flash looked over to see Batman still standing. Plus in front of him was a familiar face.
"Dad!" Gohan yelled as he ran over to his father, who was followed by Krillin.
"Hey Gohan, wow you really have grown. Haven't you? Hey Krillin you hanging on in there?" Goku asked his best friend.
"Yeah, just hanging on in there." Krillin replied as the Flash shook hands with the Saiyan raised on earth.
"So you must be Goku, very nice to meet you. I'm the Flash and this is my friend Batman." Flash said, he was met with a scowl from Batman. "Don't worry, he's like that to everyone." Suddenly they all turned around due to Vegeta clapping.
"Bravo on your reunion, though it will be a short one." Goku fully turned towards the two Saiyans as Vegeta continued. "Welcome Kakarot, we have been waiting for you."
"You want me? Well you got me!" The earth born Saiyan shouted as he started to charge his energy. Goku screamed at the top of his voice as the ground shook. The amount of energy that he possessed shocked the other two Saiyans right to their core.
"Vegeta, what did the scouter say about his Power level?" Nappa asked.
"It's over nine thousand!" The prince yelled as he crushed his scouter.
"What nine thousand? There's now way that can be right, can it?" He was met with a reply from Goku.
"Oh it's right, huh your scared now? Wow at this rate I won't even have to use the Kaio Ken on you." This peaked Vegeta's interest.
"I don't care how powerful you are. You are nothing compared to me." Nappa screamed as he charged at Goku. However before he was even close, Nappa was smashed in the face by a combined effort of Flash and Krillin. The bald Saiyan was sent tumbling towards the prince. "You don't seem upset prince Vegeta."
"Oh Nappa, I'm furious. Though that low class Saiyan is still no match for me. Besides when we have the Dragonballs we will just wish for immortality. Then no one will be able to stop us!" Vegeta said out loud, this left Goku confused.
"Wait what, but you killed Piccolo." Goku replied.
"And your point is?"
"Well if he's dead then the dragonballs don't work." There was about ten seconds of awkward silence.
"What?"
"Well this is awkward. Please prince Vegeta, I didn't..." Nappa tried to explained but was cut of by the prince.
"I'm not mad."
"Your not?"
"No, you didn't know that he was the key to unlocking immortality. I can't be mad at you Nappa." Nappa felt the weight fall off his shoulders.
"Thank you Vegeta."
"Listen Nappa. Hypothetically, if you were to bleed out right there. What would your final words be?"
"Well I never gave it much thought, but I always wanted to say. I am hilarious, and you will quote everything I say." Vegeta paused for a second.
"Interesting." Out of the blue the prince blasted his partner into smoke. The heroes were left speechless as they watched the culprit. Knowing full well that they had their jobs cut out.
So Tien lives! While Piccolo and Diana do not. I'm not going to talk about this decision right now cause that would mean spoilers. Also if you were wondering why I made Krillin and Flash defeat Nappa instead of Goku. It's because even though Goku and Superman are the main characters, I want the supporting cast to get their moments. This felt like a good opportunity to show not only that they are strong. But that they can work as a team. Now with that out of the way it's time for some reviews.
Chronotimeguard: Yeah I get what you mean. For me there is no point in making one side so much stronger than the other. Otherwise what's the point of a crossover?
Dark flacon: 1: We will find out. 2: I had eight sibermen because I wanted Vegeta to give them one each.
Jackalope89: Yes thanks for the advice. I did proofread this chapter and spotted a lot of easy mistakes.
Touzoshin: In my world Dick was unaware of Bruce's identity till now. The thing with the Saiyans is that in canon they obliterated the z warriors. And in my story the only three DC characters who were there before Goku were. Batman who despite his brain couldn't hurt them. Flash who is still very young and starting out and Diana who is the strongest out of all the side characters. Also I added character deaths for two reasons. 1: to set up Namek. (ait I haven't revealed that yet. Oh well I'm sure you guessed.) 2: Cause I want people to know that I'm not afraid to kill off a character.
Guest (Mdhunter): Thanks
Guest: do not worry Superman and Goku will not fight each other. Maybe they might get in a scuffle, way down the line like post buu. (Not confirmed just a few ideas). They will team up.
Coronadomantes: Thanks
