NOTE: Sorry, this took too long. No, I am not going to include DBZA nor am I going to write a story about DBS watching DBZA, nor will I ever write another story about any cast of characters watching DBZA, because I don't want to repeat myself by doing the same thing repeatedly. I'm already writing one about that and I'm almost finished with it, I don't feel like starting that entire train ever again.
I will write a GT reaction story, but that will ONLY be snippets of certain parts that I will deem important, because I do not have the energy to write the entire series.
The next film has already been decided on. You'll see that at the end of the chapter.
The next movie you can vote for are:
1. Fusion Reborn
2. Broly
Yeah, I lied about Broly.
Review and Enjoy!
Chapter 8: Wrath of the Dragon(Part 3)
"WHAT!?" Everyone exclaimed at Whis' announcement.
"Yes, it would seem that Tapion exists in this timeline, however he was never released from the music box here," Whis explained.
"What do you mean? If he was never released then what happened to the old guy?" Goku asked.
Whis activated his staff again and peered into the events of the evil old bastard. "Oh! It seems that he was killed while the Evil Buu was destroying planets searching for Goku and Vegeta," Whis said.
Vegeta nodded his head at the news. "And when I asked Dende to resurrect those who were good of heart that were killed by Buu, he obviously wasn't revived. But, that doesn't explain what happened to that monster," Vegeta reminded them of the Kaiju sized elephant in the room.
"Maybe, if the old man had the bottom half of the monster with him when he died, it died with him?" Gohan suggested.
"That might be true, we don't really have all the clues. So, what are we gonna do?" Bulma asked. Everyone looked at her confused.
"What do you mean, Bulma?" Krillin wanted her to clarify.
"Are we going to bring Tapion here?" She asked, thinking it was obvious.
"YEAH! We totally should!" Trunks flew over to his parents with pleading eyes. "Can we please!" Trunks begged.
"I don't see why not. If we free Tapion and deal with that monster, then everything should be fine," Bulma shrugged. From what they've seen so far, Tapion has started to open up to her son. So, she'll allow it as long as the hero behaves.
Vegeta watched the pleading look in his son's eyes and sighed. "Since, your mother is ok with it. After we finish this viewing, we can wish for him," Vegeta agreed.
"ALRIGHT!" Trunks jumped up and down in excitement.
Beerus rolled his eyes. "Don't forget our bet, Bulma."
She turned to him and smirked. "Yeah yeah, we'll win no matter what," She replied.
The scene shifted over to Capsule Corp. Bulma and Videl are seen drinking some tea together.
"Trunks brought his big brother over to spend the night," Bulma told Videl.
"Isn't that amazing? I mean, becoming friends with a hero…" Videl was giddy with excitement.
"What about me?" Gohan turned to her.
"I married a hero, so it's completely different," Videl kissed him.
"He is absolutely delighted," Bulma placed a small piece of cake on the table.
Bulma noticed the hungry-driven ones in the audience salivating at the small cake. She pulled out her phone and ordered for her chefs to bring in some cakes.
The scene changed to Trunks showing Tapion all of his toys. "See? See? See? This is awesome! They bought it for me for my birthday last year. Look!"
"Trunks! You still owe me that toy!" Goten pouted at his best friend.
"I...uh...Hey look! Cake!" Trunks pointed at the multiple carts of cake that had just rolled into the theater.
"OH! Cake!" Goten exclaimed. His happiness turned to fear when he noticed his grown-up look a like rushing towards the carts. "DAD! DON'T EAT IT ALL!"
"Well? Isn't this fun? And look, when you do this here, it does this!" While Trunks was talking Tapion looked down at one of Trunks' toys. The robot toy had broken in half, remiding Tapion of the Kaiju.
"What a coincidence," Yamcha rolled his eyes.
"Just when the guy was starting to have fun," Krillin sighed.
Tapion turned off the lights as Trunks got ready to go to bed. "Say, Big Brother, do you have any brothers?" Trunks asked.
Tapion sat down on the bed. "Yeah, one younger brother."
"Wow, that's great! What kind of boy is he?" Trunks asked excitedly.
"He was a kind boy, like you, Trunks," Tapion answered.
"That could explain his sudden warmness towards Trunks. He reminded him of his younger brother," Gohan said.
"Say, tell me about your planet, Big Brother," Trunks requested.
"Sure," Tapion was happy to answer.
"My home is a place called Planet Conuts, in the Southern Galaxy. It was a beautiful planet, which, like Earth here, was blessed with greenery and water. But then, one day, there was a warlock who raised this phantasm named Hirudegarn, which attacked us," Tapion's voice grew grave.
Everyone in the audience grew tense, knowing that things were going to grow dark at this next part.
"People were killed, and cities were demolished and destroyed." The scene shifted into a flashback of Tapion's home. People were seen running in fear as their home was destroyed by Hirudegarn.
"So, that's what it looks like with its full body. Hirudegarn," Piccolo spoke.
"Just as everyone had resigned themselves to die, a miracle happened," The flashback was cut short by Tapion gasping. He turned around to see Trunks sleeping peacefully, Tapion smiled. As he stared down at Trunks his face grew fearful, remembering his own little brother. "Minoshia…you've been killed, huh?"
Gohan felt Tapion's pain to an extent, remembering when Buu absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo. The feeling of failing and losing his own little brother had terrified him. Unlike Tapion however he had gotten lucky for having Dragon Balls.
"Take care, Trunks," Tapion said farewell.
"He's leaving?" Trunks asked, saddened.
"He has to, sweetie. He feels that it would be too dangerous to stay with you, he doesn't want to lose another little brother," Bulma answered.
Trunks frowned, while that wasn't exactly him it still hurt to be told you were weak. It sucked being compared to his alternate future self and being looked at as weak. "I'm not weak. I'm strong enough to defend myself!" Trunks stormed in his head.
Bulma walks down the hallway in her pajamas, she then notices Tapion standing outside of Trunks' room. The young man began walking away until she called out to him.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"If you'd like, you're welcome to stay with us from now on. Please, feel free. Trunks would be thrilled, after all," Bulma tells the hero.
"Yeah, Mom! Convince him!" Trunks desired him to stay.
"I can't do that."
The heir's face fell.
"Why not?" Bulma asks.
"There is a phantasm locked away inside my body," Tapion reveals to her.
"Huh? A phantasm? I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Explain it to me." Bulma asks, confused.
"Wow, you don't know something?" Vegeta snorts.
"Shut up!" She yells at him, blushing.
The scene changes to the two of them sitting down at a table, Bulma had made them both some tea.
"What is this Phantasm?" She asks.
"Right…There was a sect of Warlocks that drifted in from somewhere…" Tapion begins to explain. The scene shifted to showcase the warlocks summoning Hirudegarn. "They took the spirit body of the totem that had absorbed all of the evil will on Planet Conuts, infused it with wicked energy. And transformed it into a phantasm Hirudegarn."
"Warlocks, tch, I think I've had just about enough of magic for a lifetime," Vegeta glared at the screen. Magic always irritated him the most out of any type of techniques, because there were no ways to prepare for them. Which is why they struggled so much with Majin Buu, each of his abilities were too unpredictable.
"Those warlocks must have had incredible demonic powers, huh?" Bulma looks at him.
"Yes. Hoi was one of their order," Tapion reveals the old man's name.
"So, that's the bastard's name. Well, he's dead now, but still," Bulma said.
"Then we were all completely taken in by that old man. But, why is the phantasm within your body?" Bulma asks.
"Yeah, I'm interested in learning that as well," Bulma hummed with her counterpart.
"It's because there was a legendary sword and flute that could control the totem," Tapion answers.
"By any chance, do you mean those?" She looks down at his items.
"Yes. These items were given to us by God," Tapion tells her.
Everyone in the audience turned to look at Beerus and Whis.
"IT WASN'T ME YOU FOOLS!" Beerus bellowed at them.
"It was probably one of the Supreme Kai who had given them those items," Whis answered.
Tapion and Minoshia are seen playing their flutes together. "While we suppressed the phantasm's power with the flute. A priest who was in the service of God split the phantasm's body…into an upper half and a lower half," Tapion explained. In the flashback the priest rushes in with the sword and cuts the beast in half.
"And then, Hirudegarn's upper half was locked inside of my body, and the lower half was locked inside of my brother's body. Peace returned to Planet Conuts. As a result, my brother and I were hailed as heroes," Tapion finished telling his story.
"But you were inside that music box, right?" Bulma brings up that part.
Tapion's glare hardens as he speaks of this next part. "The Warlocks tried to retake the phantasm, and began coming after us. And so...to lock away the phantasm forever, we had ourselves sealed up inside those music boxes. However, with the two of us near each other, the upper half and the lower half resonated with each other, trying to reunite. In order to keep the phantasm from ever being revived, the two of us were each sent away in pods to different galaxies."
"WAIT HE WAS SENT TO EARTH!?" Everyone shouted.
"Then we don't need to wish for him to come here! We can just search the Earth for him!" Trunks exclaimed.
"But, we don't know exactly where he is. But, I'm sure I can build something to track down a magic music box," Bulma shrugged.
"You're the best, Mom!" Trunks complimented her.
"I know," She smirked.
"However, Hoi wants to make the whole universe his own, so he located both of our music boxes," Tapion said.
"Where is your brother?" Bulma asked.
"He has probably already been killed," Tapion said, sadly.
"We can't let Hoi get away with this," Bulma told him.
"Damn right we won't!" Bulma agreed.
"As long as I keep this upper half locked away, Hirudegarn cannot be revived in his complete form," Tapion's resolve could be seen.
"You mean, you haven't slept in all these days since you were released!?" Bulma exclaimed.
"N-No," Tapion answered, surprised by her reaction.
"All right, let me take care of this. All I have to do is make something like that music box, to keep that power under control, right?" Bulma said.
"Alright! Time for me to show my stuff!" The scientist felt her ego rising.
"C-Can you do that!?" Tapion exclaimed, shocked.
"I haven't thrown out the broken music box yet, so I think I can."
"Hehe, if it's Bulma, then there's nothing to worry about," Goku smiled.
"Aw! Thanks, Goku!" Bulma appreciated his faith in her.
"Please make it, I beg you!"
"You got it. Hang in there until then, okay?" Bulma said. For the first time since he first appeared Tapion had a wide smile on his face.
"So, he can be happy," Krillin mused.
Tapion and Trunks are seen playing together outside.
"Soon…" Trunks couldn't contain his excitement.
Bulma walks outside on the balcony and gains their attention. "Tapion's bedroom!" She announced its completion.
"Really!? Tapion couldn't contain his excitement either.
They moved into the lab, where Bulma reconstructed the music box into a larger high tech music box. "Inside here should be just like the music box. Go on inside and see." Tapion walked inside of it and explored the interior.
"You can go in there and sleep without having to worry," Bulma explained.
"Thank you very much!" Tapion appreciated Bulma's efforts.
"And all I have to do is recreate that and everything will be fine!" Bulma said.
"Aw! I wanted to fight Hirudegarn. It's not fair that only Gohan got to fight him!" Goku complained. His complaining was cut off by Chi-Chi shoving more cake into his mouth.
"Shut up and eat your cake," She said.
The scene changed to nighttime where a bunch of clothes littered the ground of the road.
"Reminds me of Cell," Piccolo grumbled.
An explosion sounded through the street, people were seen running away as Hirudegarn's lower half continued to wreak havoc. Hirudegarn's tail opened up and released multiple tentacles. They began to wrap around the citizens and absorb them.
"Tapion didn't say it could absorb people!" Videl gasped.
"Now, I'm really getting Cell flashbacks," Piccolo grumbled even more.
Hoi is seen floating in the air as Hirudegarn got its meal. "Once Hirudegarn is reunited, this will be nothing! I will hold the whole universe in my hand, starting with Earth!" Hoi declared.
All of the Z-Fighters glared at Hoi's proclamation of world domination. He wasn't the first to try and just like the rest he won't succeed.
Capsule Corp comes back into view, and the camera travels through the entire building until reaching Tapion's music box. The hero wakes up in fear as the beast tries to escape from him. He struggles to keep it contained, breaking into an insane sweat.
"Is the music box going to fail?" Goten asks.
"I hope not," Marron answers.
Bulma wakes up with a freight as the entire building shakes. She looks outside to see a giant hole in her lab, and Tapion's music box destroyed.
"It-It didn't work…" Trunks said, upset.
Bulma felt bad for disappointing her son. "It'll be different for us. I'll definitely succeed."
Goku picks up a piece of the box off of the ground. "Is that right? So that's what the story is, huh?" He asks for clarification. Goten is behind him, looking around the destroyed lab.
Tapion stumbles forward, Gohan and Trunks rush to help him stand up.
"Big brother!" Trunks exclaims.
"Good, he's safe," Trunks said, relieved.
"What happened to you!?"
"Where's Hirudegarn!?"
"I somehow managed to lock his upper half inside my body, but his lower half is running loose in the city!" Tapion tells them. "The power attracting his upper half and lower half together has gotten stronger, and there's nothing more that I can do!"
Trunks sat up in his seat. "Then leave the rest to us! No overgrown reject monster is gonna stop us!"
"Yeah! We've beaten bigger and badder all the time!" Goten agreed with his best friend.
Tapion gasped and fell to the ground. His head throbbing as Hirudegarn was trying to break free.
"Big Brother!" Trunks shouted.
"I can make something even sturdier!" Bulma suggested.
"It's too late now! N-Now, while you still can, please, you have to kill me, and Hirudegarn with me!" Tapion pleaded.
"Now way! There has to be another way!" Trunks disagreed.
"It's either that or fight a giant monster. And I'm betting that we'll have to take the latter option," Gohan said.
"Now! Hurry!"
"I won't let you do that!" Hoi replied.
Hirudegarn's giant foot came crashing down on Capsule Corp. Tapion attempted to use his flute, but Hoi shot it out of his hands. Trunks dived for the flute as the building came down on top of him.
"TRUNKS!" Bulma gasped.
"He'll be fine! No building can kill him!" Vegeta replied.
"I CAN STILL WORRY, JACKASS!"
"Trunks!" Tapion shouted. He didn't need to worry as the boy flew above the smoke and tossed the flute to Tapion.
Before Tapion could play it, the upper half began breaking free. Tapion could no longer keep it contained any longer.
"Big Brother/Big Brother!" Both Trunks' shouted at the same time.
Trunks watched in horror as Tapion fell to the ground and Hirudegarn materialized in front of them. The monster now complete once more!
"And it seems that I was right," Gohan glared.
"One of the times I really wish you weren't," Videl said, holding Pan closer.
"His body…!" Gohan gasped.
"It's reunited!" Bulma trembled.
The beast roared in satisfaction of being whole once more. Hoi floated in the air, gloating at his victory. "After a millennium's worth of time, the phantasm Hirudegarn has now been completely revived! Now, suck dry as much energy from the Earthlings as you like!" Hoi commanded the beast.
Hirudegarn began smashing Capsule Corp to pieces. Gohan and Goku quickly got Bulma and Videl out of the way.
"Destroy my home and attack my wife…" Vegeta growled.
Everyone escaped outside, ready to combat the beast. The monster turned to face them as it growled in fury. Tapion jumped on top of one of the small capsule buildings, and began playing his flute.
"Will it still work?" Videl hoped.
The beast stalked forward as Tapion kept playing, undeterred by the music being played. It roared again and slammed its tail down at them.
"Big Brother!" Trunks quickly grabbed Tapion and moved him out of the attack's way.
"And of course it doesn't!" Videl yelled.
"That thing won't do you any more good!" Hoi gloated.
"Impossible!" Tapion was shocked by this new development.
"Behold, the power of the completely restored Hirudegarn!" Hoi declared.
The Son Family touched back down on the ground. "You'll have to face me!" Goku shouted. Both he and Goten charged in to attack.
"Alright, it's fighting time!" Goku smiled, broadly.
Goku dodged a double swipe from the monster and attempted to kick it, but it turned into smoke before he could hit it. A second later a giant green fist slammed into him, knocking him into the ground.
"Oops! Forgot it could do that...hehe…" Goku laughed, nervously.
"Daddy!" Goten shouted.
Trunks touched down on a separate building with Tapion. "Leave it to us from here on, okay? Big Brother, don't you move from here." Trunks told him and flew back into battle. Tapion called his name, and Trunks' response was a thumbs up.
"Yeah, just leave the rest to us!" Trunks agreed with his counterpart.
The Son Family stood together to face Hirudegarn. "Look! I don't care what you are...THIS ENDS NOW!" Goku and Goten turned into Super Saiyans while Gohan powered up to full strength.
"KICK THAT THING'S BUTT!" Chi-Chi hollered, rooting for her boys. Ox-King attempting to keep her seated.
The Trio dodged a swipe from the monster, but it disappeared before they could attack it. "Both his power and speed are increasing!" Gohan noticed.
"And that's always fun to hear," Yamcha said, sarcastically.
Hirudegarn materialized a bit further into the city. Goku launched a Kamehameha, but the monster teleported behind him. It smashed him down into Capsule Corp, just barely missing Bulma and Videl.
"GOKU!" Chi-Chi exclaimed, worried.
Gohan went in to attack, but every time it did the monster vanished. "I can't seem to track its movements!" Gohan was grabbed by the Kaiju. It began crushing him in its grip, until a KI blast forced it to drop Gohan.
"Who-"
"HEY YOU! OVER HERE!" The beast turned its attention back to Capsule Corp to see Vegeta standing tall, glaring at it.
"Now, you finally appear!" Bulma huffed. She had silently wondered where her training obsessed husband had been all this time.
"I was enjoying my first day off in over a month! Until some flat footed mutated freak behemoth stepped on my house!" Vegeta shouted.
"Day off? You don't work!" Bulma turned to him.
"I meant training, woman! Can we focus on the screen!?" He yelled back at her.
"You're gonna regret this, you freak! ALL THE WAY TO THE GRAVE!" Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan and charged at Hirudegarn. The Saiyan Prince dodged its strikes and went in for a punch. But, he also fell victim to the beast's vanishing act.
"Hey, Vegeta! You gotta attack it while it's attacking!" Goku tried to be helpful.
"I know that, dumbass! That version of me doesn't!" Vegeta replied.
The beast slapped Vegeta away, but the Prince regained his bearings. He charged up a KI blast and smashed it into Hirudegarn. A huge explosion followed, but the beast materialized behind Vegeta and tail whipped him into a business building full of people.
"DAD/VEGETA!"
Hirudegarn released a torrent of flames from its mouth, shooting it at Vegeta. The Prince got to his feet and saw the oncoming flames. He took notice of the people around him and used the last bit of his strength to protect them from the attack.
Bulma smiled proudly at her husband's selfless act. The Vegeta at that time was still getting used to humans, so it made her happy to see him protect them.
"I was too easy...on him…" Vegeta muttered before reverting back and collapsing.
"Tch! As if I'd make any mistake like that again," Vegeta grumbled at seeing himself get beaten so quickly.
"Vegeta!" Goku called his name in concern. Hirudegarn appeared behind him and slammed both of his hands into him. Crushing Goku between his giant palms. The Earth raised Saiyan dropped to the ground.
"PAPA/DADDY!" Both Trunks and Goten yelled in distress from seeing their Father's defeated.
"You'll pay for that, monster!" Trunks yelled.
"Yeah, no one hurts my Dad and gets away with it!" Goten agreed.
Hirudegarn released another breath of flames upon the city, continuing to destroy it.
"Goten, Fusion!"
"Right!"
"Fu-sion-HA!"
"Yay! Super Saiyan 3, right out the gate!" Gotenks proclaimed.
"ALRIGHT! GOTENKS MAKES HIS DEBUT!" Goten and Trunks screamed in unison.
"Yo, yo, monster! You're finished now! Gotenks is going to send you off straight to hell!" Gotenks declared.
The monster turned to the little Saiyan and attacked. Gotenks led the monster away from the buildings and prepared to strike. "Now! DIE-DIE MISSILE BARRAGE!" Gotenks released an endless barrage of KI blasts onto Hirudegarn.
"Oh yeah! Let's see how you like that!" Trunks smirked.
The beast fell to the ground, it's body now all brown and shiny like a shell. Gotenks examined the monster, slapping it. "Hm? Finished already? Aw, that was disappointing."
Gohan looked at the beast with a worrying expression. "That looks like a cocoon, but if that's the case.."
"What are you waiting for!? Finish the attack!" Goku ordered.
"Yessir!" Gotenks replied. He released a powerful KI blast, hitting the beast dead on.
"And that's the end of that!" The boys cheered.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that," Gohan said.
"Why?" Videl asked.
"Because of that," Gohan pointed at the screen.
Hirudegarn's body began to crack open, a green light shining through the cocoon. Something large and bug-like broke free from the cocoon. It spread out its wings and roared in celebration of its new body. Everyone watched in shock from this new development.
"N-No way…" Krillin said in fear.
"It's really just like Cell!" Tien exclaimed.
"Don't even remind me…" 18 regressed unpleasant memories.
The beast flew towards them and smacked Gotenks incredibly hard. So hard that the boys defused on contact with the ground.
"It hit them that hard!?" Goku gasped.
"How much stronger did this thing just get!?" Piccolo questioned.
"Dammit! That's so unfair!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Gotenks can't lose like that!" Goten whined.
"Trunks! Goten!" Gohan wasn't given time to worry as the beast's tail wrapped around him and began crushing him.
"Gohan!" Videl flew into the battle.
"What are you doing!?" Gohan looked at her.
"Being concerned for my love, obviously!"
"It's dangerous!"
"And do you really think that's going to stop me?"
Hirudegarn shot fire at Videl, the teenager managed to create a barrier strong enough to protect her from getting burned. But, she was sent flying into a building and defeated. Gohan was tossed towards her and the two laid on the ground together.
"Videl…" Gohan gasped for her before passing out.
"Who's going to stop it now!?" Hercule panicked at seeing Gohan and Videl getting hurt.
Goku rose into the sky, glaring coldly at Hirudegarn. "What incredible power! He really is a monster! Dammit!" Goku attacked Hirudegarn, dodging a wave of flames in the process. Goku was beaten back repeatedly until he was crushed into the streets. The entire section of the city falling on top of him.
Goku silently watched as he was beaten into the ground. He knew that his other self still hadn't used his full power yet. Super Saiyan 3 really was a taxing form back then.
Goku crawled to his knees. "All of our attacks are going right through him!" He pushed the rubble off of him, staggering towards the rampaging beast. "Damn...No matter how much power we have...it's no use against him…" Goku collapsed to the ground.
"Now, that's not like you at all," Piccolo looked at Goku.
"Yeah, I know, but sometimes the opponent is overwhelmingly strong," Goku responded to him.
"Destroy the entire universe! It will all become power for you, Hirudegarn!" Hoi declared. Suddenly, the sound of Tapion's flute was heard all throughout the city.
Trunks regained consciousness after hearing the song. "Big Brother…"
"You fool! You think that thing is going to work at this point!?" Hoi shouted.
"How about you just shut up and die!" Vegeta growled.
Hirudegarn approached Tapion and shot fire at him. A blue shield appeared around the hero and protected him from the flames. The monster stumbled back, the music finally working on him.
"Haha! So it does still work!" Videl cheered.
"A hero…" Trunks muttered in awe. "Big Brother is a hero, all right!"
"The coolest of heroes!" Trunks agreed.
"I cannot allow this planet to get caught in the middle of this, too," Tapion continued to play his music. The sound continued to cause Hirudegarn extreme pain. "How much longer will you feed on the suffering of others like this, until you've had enough?"
Hirudegarn started to disappear in blue smoke, much to Hoi's shock.
The audience cheered at seeing Hirudegarn be defeated against Tapion.
Tapion finished sealing the beast inside of himself once more and fell to the ground. Trunks ran over to him, ecstatic.
"You did it!" Trunks exclaimed. Tapion got to his knees and handed Trunks his blade.
"Trunks...kill me, and Hirudegarn will die!" Tapion pleaded.
Trunks gasped. "No way! We're not doing this again!"
"You have to protect Earth!" Tapion yelled.
"I-I can't do that!"
Kill me! You want to be a hero too, don't you!?" Tapion shouted. Trunks still refused to do it, tears brimming in his eyes.
"I wonder if the future me had to do anything like this," Trunks wants to be a hero. But, if being a hero meant killing those you care about, then he'd rather be a villain.("If my choices make me evil!? Then that's what I'll be!" Future Trunks roared.)
Tapion's glare softened. "Trunks, if this keeps up, Earth will be destroyed. Please, let me die as a hero! If he is revived one more time, there will be no stopping him. Please!" Tapion begged.
"I know it hurts, Trunks, but are you going to dishonor him by being a coward or will you make the tough decision?" Vegeta watched his son's resolve harden
Trunks hardened his resolve and took the blade from Tapion. Trunks lifted it, prepared to strike.
Tapion lowered his head and smiled. "Thank you. I'm glad to have met you."
"S-STOP!" Hoi rushed down towards the two. But, Trunks took too long to strike and Hirudegarn broke free.
"NO!"
"Fool! You do not have the power to contain Hirudegarn in his complete form!" Hoi mocked Tapion.
"Get them!" He tried to command Hirudegarn, but the beast didn't listen to him. Hirudegarn lifted its foot and crushed Hoi to death, finally shutting him up.
"Finally! I was getting sick of hearing his voice," Beerus said.
As Trunks and Tapion braced themselves to face Hirudegarn once more, Goku is heard screaming in the background. They turn around to see him power up into Super Saiyan 3, the buildings around him crumble from the pressure of his energy.
"Yup, there it is," Goku smirked.
"About time you got back up," Piccolo also smirked.
"There ain't no way you're going to get away with this!" Goku told the monster. It roared at him and charged to attack. Goku dodged its swipe, then Trunks flew in with Tapion's sword and cut its tail off.
"Alright! We got it now!" Trunks pumped his fist.
Trunks turned around to strike once more, but Goku blocked his path. "Trunks, stay out of this! I'm going to defeat him!"
"Can't help, but steal the moment, can't you, Kakarot?" Vegeta glared at him.
"Hehe...I'm sure I've got a plan," Goku shrugged.
Gohan sat up from the ground. "Father! His weakness is…!"
"I know!" Goku cut him off. "I can only beat him during the instant he becomes solid as he attacks!" Goku was chopped away by Hirudegarn.
However, the Saiyan smirked. "That won't work."
Hirudegarn threw a punch, but Goku caught it. "This sort of punch won't work! Fight me like you mean it!" Hirudegarn roared in fury at the smaller man.
"Hey, what's the matter? Come and get me!" Goku baited it.
"You better make this next attack big, Goku," Whis smirked.
The Earth raised Saiyan returned the look. "You know it, Whis!"
Hirudegarn nailed Goku straight on with a hard punch, but the Saiyan held on. "If I don't do it…" He was cut off by the punch knocking him back.
"If I don't do it…"
"If I don't do it…" He repeated himself again.
Hirudegarn sent one more devastating punch towards Goku.
"IF I DON'T WHO WILL!?" Goku jumped over Hirudegarn's punch and pulled back his fist. "DRAGON FIST!" Goku's entire body was encompassed by a forest of flames, the fire twisted into a spiral that formed a Golden Dragon.
"HOLY SHIT!"
"THAT'S SO COOL!"
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
"GO GOKU GO!"
The Dragon tunneled right through Hirudegarn's body, the fire burst from the ground and wrapped itself around the monster's body. Hirudegarn screamed in pain as the Golden Dragon crushed it to death, and exploded. Turning the monster into nothing, but dust in the wind. The explosion ripped a hole through the dark clouds, causing the sun to illuminate the destroyed city.
"You did it!" Trunks celebrated.
"Thanks, Goku," Tapion smiled. His nightmare is finally over.
Goku stood there triumphantly, his golden locks blowing in the wind as he raised his fist into the air. The Victor has been decided and the winner is Son Goku!
"TEACH ME! TEACH ME! TEACH ME! TEACH ME! TEACH ME! TEACH ME! TEACH ME!" Goten was clinging onto Goku's face. The boy's mouth was running a mile a minute, and Goku was trying to pull his son off of his face.
"GOTEN, GET OFF YOUR FATHER NOW!" Chi-Chi ripped the boy off and held him by the back of his shirt.
"When the hell did you learn that move, Kakarot!? Actually, do you even know that technique!?" Vegeta questioned Goku.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I know that move! I came up with it when I was training in the Other World for 7 years," Goku chuckled.
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU USE IT AGAINST BUU!?" Almost everyone yelled at him. A move like that totally would have obliterated Buu entirely if Goku used it.
"It takes a lot of energy and I didn't want to risk Buu dodging it," Goku answered.
They calmed down after hearing his answer, not expecting Goku to say something reasonable. They honestly expected him to say something like 'Oh, I forgot about it'.
"It's my fault that so many people were made to die. If on;y I had been able to fully control Hirudegarn…" Tapion apologized as he sat in Bulma's time machine.
"Huh? My time machine? Why is it in it?" Bulma wondered.
"So you had it even then!?" Beerus roared at her.
"I DIDN'T! SHE DID!" She roared right back.
"Don't worry. We'll ask Shenron to bring those who were killed back to life. There. Now you should be able to go back a thousand years, to your time," Bulma said as she hopped off the time machine.
"What? So, he's not going to stay?" Trunks asked, sadly.
"I guess not, son. Maybe, he just wants to go home and if that's his desire then we have to respect that," Bulma told him.
"I-I guess…"
"T-Thanks," He responded.
"Aww, and here I had finally gotten a Big Brother," Trunks whined.
"As long as we have the time machine, you can see him again," Bulma told her son.
"Oh, that's right!"
"That wouldn't be wise, Bulma," Whis said.
"Yeah yeah, I know."
"Trunks!" Tapion threw his sword to Trunks. The boy caught it in his hands and marveled at the weapon.
"You're giving it to me?" He asked.
"Yeah, I don't need it anymore, after all."
"No fair! I want a cool sword!" Trunks complained.
"But, Trunks, you do have a cool sword," Goten pointed at the screen.
"Shut up, Goten!"
"All right!" Trunks jumped up and down at the gift.
"Okay then, everyone, take care!" Tapion waved goodbye. The Time Machine flew into the sky and disappeared.
Trunks strapped the sword onto his back and smiled at where Tapion disappeared. The boy would forever remember his surrogate older brother and would treasure that sword for the rest of his life.
"W-Wait...doesn't he look like…" Bulma pointed at the screen. She turned to Vegeta and he came to the same conclusion.
Future Trunks had met his own Tapion.
"Huh, I wonder how that must've gone down. Maybe we'll get to see that?" He said.
"Well, the possibilities are endless! I'm sure we'll get to see that as we go along with these!" Bulma responded. If the Trunks from the future had received his sword from his own version of Tapion, then how did they manage to beat Hirudegarn without the necessary people and what happened to that Tapion?
Questions for later.
"Mom! Dad! Can we get started on finding Tapion now!?" Trunks asked them, excited.
"Not so fast, son. Wait till we're done with all of these, then we'll go find him," Bulma replied.
"Aw, man!" Trunks complained.
The machine began making noise once more, the double helix from before reappeared before them and spiraled. The screen came to a still stop, and two words appeared on the screen before them in green.
BOJACK UNBOUND
Chapter End
NOTE: Told ya I was gonna use some dub dialogue when I felt it to be necessary. Anyway, the next chapter is Bojack Unbound, and they will see my own version of how Future Trunks got his sword. But, that'll wait till we get to History of Trunks.
Have a great day.
