The day to face the God of Demons has arrived. Goku gets up from his bed, puts on his Gi, slips on his wrist bands, then he tightens the laces around his boots. He stands proud, knowing there's a huge battle ahead. Wanting to get the day started early, Goku remembers that everyone is supposed to regroup at the Lookout. He quickly gathers Chi-Chi and Goten, and teleports via Instant Transmission to the Lookout. There he meets Piccolo, Gohan, Videl, Bulma, Trunks, Super Eighteen, Krillin, Mr. Popo, and Dende. But Vegeta is still nowhere to be found.
"Alright he's here!" excitedly said Krillin, sensing Goku's presence.
"Yep… Today's the day." replied an anticipated Goku.
"Well, we're all ready to go." replied Krillin.
Looking around, Goku notices Vegeta isn't with the group, "Hey, where's Vegeta?" he asked.
"I don't know. No one has seen him since yesterday. Bulma's kinda worried about him." replied Krillin.
"There's nothing to worry about. You know Vegeta, he's not big on listening to others. I'm sure he's off somewhere planning an attack of his own. He'll turn up eventually." replied Goku.
"I hope so... Did you bring some Senzu Beans?" asked Krillin.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Hold on, I'll go grab some." replied Goku, teleporting to Korin's Tower below.
Korin and Yajirobe are sitting at a table playing cards when Goku appears, startling them.
"What! Goku!?" shouted a disturbed Korin.
"Yeah, it's me… Listen, today's the day we face Demigra. I came by to grab some Senzu Beans. Do you have any?" politely asked Goku.
"Hmph, so you just barge in here demanding Senzu Beans! Well what do I get in return, huh?" asked Korin.
"Come on Korin, it's to save the Earth. Isn't that good enough?" asked Goku.
Korin thought for a minute, realizing the danger that awaits the planet, "Hmm… Well I guess you do have a point. Lucky for you, I planned ahead and prepared some beans, here take em." he said, throwing a bag of freshly made Senzu Beans at Goku.
"Awesome, thanks Korin." replied Goku, catching the bag.
"Don't mention it. You've saved our hides plenty of times." replied Korin.
Goku glances over at Yajirobe, "Hey are you joining the fight too Yajirobe?" he asked.
"Ha, don't be ridiculous Goku. This talk about Demons gives me the creeps. I think I'll stick to what I'm best at, hiding." replied Yajirobe.
"Okay, suit yourself, thanks guys. I'll make sure these beans are put to good use." replied Goku, disappearing afterwards.
"Does he have a chance?" asked Yajirobe.
"Not a chance in hell. Unless Goku's discovered some secret, then we're all doomed." replied Korin.
Goku appears back at the Lookout, "Got em!" he said, showing everyone the bag.
"Alright, so what's the plan Goku? Did those demons tell you where to meet?" asked Piccolo.
"Actually, no, I'm sure we'll sense something soon. Knowing these villains, I imagine they'll give us some type of sign." replied Goku.
"So I guess we'll wait then." replied Piccolo.
Meanwhile, high above Earth's orbit, on the large space plundering ship, Demigra and Towa converse about their plan of attack.
"Such a lovely planet." said Towa gazing out a window at the blue and green planet called Earth.
"Indeed… And soon, once I merge this realm with the demon realm, it will make a marvelous home base." replied Demigra.
"That sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see the look on the earthling's faces when their imminent doom approaches. It's astonishing how easily frightened they all are." replied Towa.
"Yes… Goku and his comrades will be the first to taste my wrath, then the earthlings will quickly follow suit. It's degrading that such an inferior race has existed for so long." replied Demigra.
"Then let's change that shall we?" delightly asked Towa.
"Absolutely!" excitedly agreed Demigra. "Us demons have lived in the dark for far too long. It's time to claim what is rightfully ours! A new era of demon rule will commence!... Come with me Towa! Together we shall reign supreme over the entire universe!"
Towa kindly obliges, whole-heartedly taking Demigra's hand. The two form their plan of attack and each set off with an agenda in mind. Demigra teleports himself high above Earth's orbit, and with a few spins of his staff, he opens a massive wormhole that spans many miles wide. With his dark magic, Demigra has opened a portal to the Demon Realm, hell-bent on accomplishing his plan to merge Earth Realm and the Demon Realm together. The portal continues to grow in size, easily masking the entire planet, turning the sky red. The Demon Realm could be seen on the other side.
On the Lookout, the Dragon Team is quickly overwhelmed by the wormhole's gravitational pull. Slowly, objects, buildings, people, and other wildlife are sucked up like a vacuum. The Z-Warriors quickly grab their families and gather them in a group. Eighteen puts up an energy barrier that shields everyone from the effects of the wormhole. With her infinite stamina, she could keep the barrier up indefinitely. The Dragon Team watches in horror as people are violently sucked up into the event horizon. This was a sick game Demigra cooked up to scare the inhabitants of Earth. And after having his fill, Demigra turns off the portal's gravitational pull. Objects and debris fall from the sky, destroying many cities.
"Hahaha, I think that was a good enough welcome." said Demigra with an evil laugh as he continues to watch the horror befall Earth.
Noticing the chaos has ceased, Eighteen deactivates her shield, "Is everyone alright?" she asked looking back at her comrades.
"Yeah, we're fine." replied Goku.
"Damn, I guess those demons have laid out the welcome mat," said Krillin.
Goku quickly confirms Krillin's prediction as he senses Demigra's energy signal just outside of Central City, a city that remained untouched by the Demon God's chaotic attack earlier.
(Note: Central City is, most possibly, the largest populated city on Earth and is also the location of King Castle, King Furry's main residence. The city appears to house the King's strongest military organization, the King's Guard.)
King Furry quickly catches wind of Demigra appearing through a portal outside of Central City, "That monster attacked one of our cities!" he said in a fury. Furry gets in contact with the general of his military army, "Send every military force we have and blow that demon off the planet!" commanding Demigra be dealt with immediately.
Quickly and aggressively, the military forces gather around Demigra with an entire fleet of tanks and military vehicles aimed directly at him. With no hesitation, they unload, blasting the demon in rapid succession with missiles and gunfire, filling the sky with smoke. Goku and his friends watch the events unfold from the Lookout with their eyes closed. A commander calls a quick cease fire and begins celebrating with his comrades thinking they had finished the Demon God for good. But the celebration was cut short when the smoke cleared, revealing Demigra completely unharmed and smirking at their efforts. The military forces gasp, and in a brief moment, Demigra slowly raises his right hand insulating an attack.
Goku, who could sense what's going on, knew what was coming, "No! Demigra don't! They're helpless!" he said out loud in an angry voice.
In a swift swipe of his hand, Demigra demolished the military forces with a quick ki blast, leaving nothing but a crater where they once stood. The destruction pleased Demigra greatly, feeding his urge to cause mayhem after being imprisoned for so long.
Meanwhile, Towa has an agenda of her own. She decides to visit Mr. Satan in his home located at the heart of Satan City. Mr. Satan was doing the bench press with heavy weights in his personal gym, preparing for a major crysis. A portal appears, and out emerges Towa.
Mr. Satan jumps aggressively and tries his usual tough act, "Hey! You just broke into the Champ's house! Not a wise decision! Get out of here if you know what's good for ya!" he said.
Towa found Hercule's words humorous, "Hahaha, impudent mortal. You should know your place when speaking to the Queen of Demons in such a manner." she replied.
Hercule continued to act tough, "I see, so we're gonna have to do this the hard way. Well prepare to feel the wrath of the World Champion!" he said in a martial arts pose.
Quickly annoyed by Hercule's arrogance, Towa siliences him with a throatlift, smirking the entire time, "I'm sorry… You were giving a speech… Something about feeling your wrath..." she said sarcastically, staring into his eyes, enjoying his helplessness as she painfully chokes the life out of him. "Oh, I see, you are finished…"
"Please…" said Hercule, gasping for air.
"Hahaha, What's the matter? Is it too much for you?" replied Towa, enjoying her torment of Hercule.
Hercule, still helpless, continues to beg for his life while gasping for air.
"Now that I have your attention. You're going to do a little favor for me." said Towa letting him go.
Mr. Satan falls butt first hitting the ground and breathing deeplying, "Please! I'll do anything! Just don't hurt me!" he pleaded, frightened for his life.
"Excellent, now lis-" Towa is interrupted when Fat Buu comes to Hercule's aid head first, knocking Towa through a wall to the yard outside.
"You leave him alone! Him Buu's friend!" said Fat Buu defending his friend.
Caught off guard and slightly annoyed, Towa stands up and brushes the dirt off her costume, "That insidious creation of Babidi is still alive?" she annoyingly asked. "And now he's become some sort of body guard for this weakling. This kind of behavior is not the demon way. No matter, it shall soon be corrected."
Hercule begins cheering for Buu watching from the hole in the wall, "That's right Buu! Show her who's boss!" he shouted.
"Hahaha, it's unwise to challenge the Queen of Demons. You're nothing more than a failed creation by Babidi. But as of right now, more important things are on my agenda… So I'll make you a deal, Buu. If you leave now I will spare you. Challenge me, and I will make you understand pain far beyond that feeble mind of yours can comprehend." said Towa.
"You hurt friend. Buu make you dead!" replied the riled up Buu.
"A stubborn one I see… Very well… You had your chance… Let's get this over with." replied Towa.
Buu attacks Towa with a pink ki blast from his palm. Towa knocks it away with a backhanded slap. She quickly returns fire with a ki blast from her palm, taking Buu's head clean off. Buu quickly regenerates his head and aggressively rushes towards her. Towa easily outclasses Buu, dodging the rush and kneeing him hard in the stomach, and quickly following up with a punch to the cheek. Buu flies backwards and violently crashes into a brick wall that is the fence line to Hercule's house. Buu gets up slowly with imprints on his stomach and face, twitching in pain.
"What's wrong? Is the pain too much for you?" asked Towa in a delighted voice. "I warned you about challenging me. Since merging with Mira and returning to my true self, I have acquired ultimate power… One last chance, leave now, and I will spare you."
Buu didn't respond. He regenerates his painful injuries and gets angry, blowing his top as his pink skin turns bright red. Towa keeps a constant smile, enjoying getting under Buu's skin. Buu takes out a piece of his body and wraps it around Towa, trying to trap her. Towa continues to smile as she easily breaks free, showing she was only leading Buu on. Finally, she throws her staff forward, impaling Buu through his belly, and violently pinning him to a nearby building. Towa snaps her fingers making electricity flow through her staff causing Buu great pain. His screams greatly intrigue Towa. She continues the torture until Buu passes out from the pain. Purple blood flows down the staff and drips off the tip, terrifying Mr. Satan in the background.
"Oh no, Buu! You can't just give up!" shouted Hercule cheering for his friend.
With what little strength he has left, Buu opens his eyes and pulls the staff out of him. He falls to the ground nearly depleted of energy. In one last effort to save his friend Hercule, Buu aims his head tentacle at Towa and fires his Transfiguration Beam, "Turn you into candy!" he shouted.
Towa quickly puts up a barrier that reflects Buu's beam, turning him into a Jawbreaker, shocking Hercule. Towa walks over the candy size Buu and steps on it, killing Buu in the process, "Such a disobedient, disgraceful creature." she said.
A shocked and terrified Mr. Satan tries to flee, but Towa blocks his path by appearing in front of him with super speed, "Now… Where were we before I was rudely interrupted." she said.
"Ahhh! Please! Take whatever you want! Just please don't hurt me!" pleaded Hercule.
"Hahahaha, you fool... I don't want any resources from this wretched planet." replied Towa.
"Well, what then?" asked Hercule.
"The one called Eighteen… Where is she?" demanded Towa.
"What? I don't know, I swear! Honest!" replied a scared Hercule.
"Don't play dumb with me!" aggressively said Towa. "I know you've been in contact with her before."
"Look, I don't know what the deal is between you and her, but I swear I don't know where she is!" replied Hercule.
"Funny, but somehow I believe you. Nonetheless, you at least know how to get her attention. So use that feeble brain of yours and think. Get her to come here - or I'll see to it personally that your loved one's heads go on a pike while you watch them scream in agony. You will not deny me my revenge!" replied Towa.
Hercule got really scared with Towa's threats. So he thought to himself and came up with an idea to fulfill her wish.
Meanwhile, back at the Lookout, Goku tightens his fist, upset by witnessing Demigra's manslaughter, "No, how could he? They're gone. That heartless bastard." he said, dropping to his knees in sadness and anger.
"What is it Goku? What happened?" asked Krillin.
"Demigra, he killed the Militia of Central City. He wiped them all out in a single attack. They were helpless, all of them." replied Goku.
"What? Oh no, that fiend! He's just trying to lure us out." replied Krillin.
"Well I've seen enough. It's time to take the fight to Demigra." replied the confident Goku, eager to face the Demon God.
Inside the Lookout, Videl, who is hiding out with everyone else, receives a phone call from her portable phone that her father gave to her in the event of an emergency, "Hello?" she answered. "What?... Slow down!..."
The Dragon Team was just getting ready to leave to fight Demigra when they're interrupted by Videl, "Hey! Wait!" she shouted with deep concern.
Goku and the others stop and notice the concern on Videl's face.
"Hey, what's wrong Videl?" asked Goku.
"I just got a call from my Dad… It's Towa! She's holding him hostage! She wants Eighteen to come alone to Satan City in exchange for his life." explained Videl.
"What? Oh No! That witch!" said Krillin.
"Damn, they're trying to split us up. That way it's easier to pick us off one by one." replied Goku.
Eighteen steps forward after hearing Towa's demands, "Fine, you guys go on ahead. I'll take care of Towa. It's me that she wants after all... I say give her exactly what she wants." she said.
"What?... Honey, you can't go out there by yourself. It's too dangerous. Let me go with you. We can fight as a team." replied Krillin concerned for his wife.
"You'll just get in my way Krillin. This is something I have to do on my own. It's personal, you know that as well as anyone." replied a very serious Eighteen.
"Yeah… But-" replied Krillin, nearly speechless.
"It's okay Krillin." interrupted Goku. "Just let her go. She has a score to settle. These things have a way of working themselves out."
"Are you sure? I don't know how I feel about Eighteen going to fight a monster like Towa all by herself." replied Krillin.
"Relax Krillin… I can handle myself." replied Eighteen stepping towards the edge of the Lookout.
"Want me to take you down there with my Instant Transmission?" asked Goku.
"No thanks." declined Eighteen. "You guys better get going before Demigra destroys Central City. I'll catch up once I'm finished."
"Alright… Be Careful out there… And come back in one piece. Krillin would kill me if something bad happened to you." replied Goku.
"I'll be fine." replied a very confident Eighteen.
Eighteen flew off, heading towards Satan City, disappearing into the sky.
"Damn, there she goes." said a concerned Krillin.
"Everything will be fine Krillin." replied Goku with a smile.
"What? How do you know that?" asked Krillin.
"I think Towa is about to bite off a little more than she can chew… And soon, she'll probably be regretting her decision." replied Goku.
"I hope you're right." replied Krillin.
After a short intermission, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien, head to Central City to face Demigra. Using Goku's Instant Transmission, they appear at the center of the city, catching the Demon God's attention.
"Ah, Goku, you're finally here. I wondered how long I'd have to entertain myself until you arrived." said Demigra.
Goku looks around, disgusted at the destroyed city and dead people throughout it, "This has gone far enough. There's no need for you to kill anymore people. We're going to settle this right now!" he demanded.
"Is that so Goku… As much as I admire enthusiasm for battle, you're not the one who decides what happens… I do!... And soon, very soon, this realm, and the Demon Realm will become one in the same." replied Demigra pointing to the red portal in the sky.
The Dragon Team stares up at the massive red portal in the sky, scaring them as it continues to suck up more debris from Earth.
"No! You can't! I won't let you!" shouted a very serious Goku.
"Fascinating that you care more about others than yourself. But you're not in a position to be giving the orders!" replied Demigra. "Very soon we will commence an extraordinary battle. But before we do. I want to ask you something."
"Huh? What?" asked a very peculiar Goku.
"Yes… Do you recall suffering a concussion when you were younger?" asked Demigra.
"That was a long time ago… What about it? And why are you so interested?" replied Goku.
"Ah... well Goku, our previous meeting intrigued me so much that I became curious how a saiyan such as yourself has existed for so long, and how you've managed to accomplish such astonishing feats… So I used the computer aboard the ship my demon subordinate Janemba used while scouring the universe… That is when I made a startling, horrible, discovery…" explained Demigra.
"It doesn't matter what you discovered. Even if you manage to destroy me, someone stronger would rise to take my place." replied Goku.
"Hahaha, indeed you will perish, but not yet… You see, as you know from your experience with Future Trunks, there are many different timelines than the one we are currently in. Some, where you no longer exist, others where things played out differently. But then I learned that this dimension is simply a single dimension, in a multiverse of dimensions. Intrigued by this discovery, I used the computer to survey them all. There isn't just one of you Goku, but, skulls of you!... Behold! The multiverse of the accursed Saiyan Kakarot!" explained Demigra.
Using his magic, Demigra produces thousands of virtual television screens peering into alternate realities, each showing a distinct version of Goku, shocking the Dragon Team as they witness other realities.
"Destroying you in this reality would accomplish nothing!... So long as the Saiyan Kakarot exists somewhere in the multiverse, he will interfere with the plans of evil… The battle between you and I is never going to end… Unless I put an end to you ONCE AND FOR ALL!" said Demigra.
"You're insane!... Even someone as power mad as you, cannot believe he has the ability to subvert the entire multiverse." replied Goku.
"Hahaha, let us put that to a test… You see Goku, unlike other beings you have faced, I possess a divine ability to travel to other dimensions. So after I destroy you here, your allies will be next, then I'll simply move on to other dimensions and destroy every existence of you!" replied Demigra.
"No! You can't!" replied Goku.
"Oh, but I shall… Very soon the multiverse will change. Evil Triumphs! And you… You no longer exist!" replied Demigra.
"Not as long as I still draw breath!" replied a very serious Goku.
"Hahaha, fool… Haven't you learned anything yet? All that destruction earlier was my way of ringing the doorbell." replied Demigra. "Now it's time for the main event!"
The Demon God uses his magic to trap Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, and Krillin, in purple spheres. A technique of dark matter that separates the mind from the body. Goku's allies remained stationary, as a battle of evil went on within their minds.
"What did you do to them!?" demanded Goku.
"A touch of dark magic. Their bodies stay present, while their minds do not." replied Demigra.
"Change them back! Right now!" shouted Goku.
"Such anger in your voice Goku. Perhaps you have yet to understand… You see, I could have merged this realm with the Demon Realm at any moment of my choosing. I simply chose to wait… I figured it's only fair to give you a fighting chance after you restored my powers early. Though you'll still fail miserably. At least you'll live long enough to see this world torn apart. I kept you around Goku, because I want to see what the most powerful Saiyan in existence is capable of." replied Demigra.
"Damn you, you're just playing games… But for some reason, I actually like the challenge of beating him. The entire multiverse depends on it." said Goku silently to himself.
Goku starts the battle in base form with a strong punch to Demigra's abdomen, which didn't faze him in the least. Then, Goku tried a high kick to the head, also to no avail.
Demigra laughs at Goku's efforts, "Hahaha, I'm astonished, Goku, I really am. Your efforts are much admoriable, but sadly not enough." he said.
"Is that so? Well… I guess I'll have to try harder." replied Goku, transforming to Super Saiyan 2 afterwards.
"By all means, try your absolute best Goku. Even for a being of your caliber, you still think you can harm a superior being such as myself." replied Demigra.
Goku charges a Kamehameha in his hands, and quickly fires a massive wave. Demigra challenges the attack, taking it head on. There's a large explosion, followed by smoke. When the smoke cleared Demigra remained in the same position, completely unharmed.
"What? No way!... Not even a scratch." said Goku.
"Hahaha, soon you'll come to understand your efforts were futile from the moment you started. But I'll let you keep going for a bit longer." replied Demigra, extending his palm out, blowing Super Saiyan 2 Goku through the many buildings of Central City with a medium size ki-blast.
After a few moments, Goku returns with his clothes damaged followed by cuts and scrapes.
"Very persistent Goku. Even after you've failed, you still keep coming back for more." said Demigra.
"That's right… If there's one thing I've learned in my time of fighting; it's to never give up, even if the odds are stacked against you. And as long as I still draw breath, I'll keep fighting." replied a very serious Goku.
"Is that so? Asked Demigra. "Your efforts are most admirable. But make no mistake, this is a battle to the death after all. It's a shame I must destroy you. You and Vegeta would have made great additions to our cause. Unfortunately your stubborn ways will be your undoing."
"I'd rather die knowing I had my own freedom, than to be a slave to such an insane ambition." replied Goku.
"It doesn't matter what you think, Goku! You've finally reached your end. You will come to understand that challenging a god is utterly foolish." replied Demigra.
"Even if that's true, I don't care… I don't care if you're a million times stronger than me! The future of the entire universe depends on me! And no matter what it takes, I will find a way to defeat you!... KAIOKEN ATTACK!" shouted Goku exploding in a red electrical aura of power.
Goku strikes the Demon God with intense speed and power, delivering a three-hit combo of pure brute strength, a punch to the abdomen, punch to the jaw, and a double fist punch to his back, sending Demigra flying downwards. This of course was an act put on by Demigra. Pretending he took damage to boost Goku's fighting spirit.
Demigra stands up from the rubble unharmed, clapping his hands, "Wonder Goku! Your persistence is most appreciated, but will ultimately be your downfall." he said.
Goku, still as confident as ever, tries to attack Demigra again. But once again proves useless. Demigra easily overpowers Goku, getting behind him and putting the saiyan in a stranglehold with his staff. With two hands, Demigra slowly, and painfully chokes the life out of Goku, enjoying every moment of it. Goku gasps for air with every passing moment.
"Hahaha, I have you now Goku. You can beg if you want. I would enjoy it very much." said Demigra, smirking while torturing Goku.
Goku slowly gets weaker, as the end of his life is near. It was almost over… Suddenly, at the last moment, Vegeta appears, kicking Demigra in the face, making him release Goku, and knocking him into a building. Alongside Vegeta were Trunks and Goten.
"Thanks, you guys…" said Goku, inhaling and exhaling deeply.
"Kakarot always seems to be getting himself into trouble these days." replied Vegeta.
"Yeah, I bet he's glad to have us on his side." replied Trunks.
Goten nods his head, agreeing with Trunks. But at a sudden glance, Goten notices the other Z-Warriors trapped in Demigra's magic, "Hey Trunks, look!" he said, pointing at his friends.
"What's happened to them?" asked Trunks.
"I don't know, but it looks like they need help!" replied Goten.
"Then let's whip out Gotenks and show them how it's done!" cheerfully replied Trunks.
"Right!" agreed Goten.
The boys line up in sync, and perform the famous Fusion Dance, becoming Gotenks, then powering up to Super Saiyan 2 afterwards. Gotenks summons his famous Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack to free his comrades from Demigra's dark magic. Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, and Krillin return to reality.
"What happened?" asked Piccolo.
"Yeah, it felt like I was in a bad dream and couldn't wake up." replied Krillin.
"You were all under some kind of spell. I saved you all." replied a confident Gotenks.
Demigra returns to the battlefield after being knocked away by Vegeta. He meets Goku in the air, and discovers all his allies are free, "Ah Vegeta, how original of you to perform a sneak attack." he said.
"Well don't let it go to your head. Kakarot's fate is no longer your concern. Your fight is with me now." replied Vegeta, powering up to Super Saiyan 2 afterwards.
"It seems like everyone is powering up today. Perhaps it's time I introduce my true self." replied Demigra.
The Demon God does a fist pump with both hands, raising his arms in the air. A dark purple aura forms around him as he powers up tremendously. He starts transforming, growing slightly taller in size. He takes on a monsterous form with blue skin and red skin. Two large, fleshy horns emerge from the top of his head. Long black spikes protrude from his shoulders, elbows, back, and knees. Two more fleshy spikes protrude from the sides of his chest. This form was Demigra's true divine form. Giving him every ounce of true divine power.
The Z-Warriors stood in stock as Demigra's true form was both frightening and amazing. Demigra stood looking down at them in his divine form, "What's wrong?" he asked in a scary, demon-like voice. "The lot of you should feel privileged. Very few have ever witnessed this form. But unfortunately none of you will live long enough for it to matter."
Meanwhile, Super Eighteen finally arrived at Hercule's house in Satan City. She searches the area from the sky, looking for Towa. The house, the entire city for that matter, appeared to be deserted. But just as she was about to search the city, a familiar voice caught her attention, "So… You made it."
Eighteen looks down, towards the back yard of Hercule's house revealing the voice belonged to Towa. There she was looking up at Eighteen with an evil smile. But Mr. Satan was nowhere to be found. Eighteen meets Towa on the ground.
"Alone at last. I'm glad you made it. I was afraid you wouldn't come." said Towa.
"Of course I made it. You threatened my family, and friends - something I cannot forgive. So I wouldn't miss an opportunity like this. I've been silently waiting for a rematch against you." replied the very confident Eighteen.
"Is that so?" asked Towa. "I must say I'm touched. But my quarrel still stands. I will avenge my brother Dabura. You will suffer for what you did to the Demon King."
"What have you done with Hercule?" asked Eighteen.
"Actually I never even harmed him. He was so efficient in providing information that I decided to be as these humans would say, merciful. The Martial Arts man does such a magnificent job of begging for his life. In fact, I'd consider it to be an art on his behalf. Though I did take pleasure in destroying that absurd creation of Babidi." replied Towa, still smiling.
"What? Buu's dead?" replied Eighteen.
"Yes… It was quite remarkable really… He gave it everything he had to protect that weakling. But in the end, he ended up failing... Destroying Buu was especially satisfying; destroying you will bring me true satisfaction… And now that we're alone, I can punish you with no distractions." replied Towa.
"For once we can agree on something. Without any people in the way, that means I don't have to hold back." replied Eighteen.
"Touching Eighteen really...but ever since I learned about Dabura's death, I've deemed it fitting to destroy the one responsible. And we're finally going to settle this once and for all." replied Towa.
"Very well… Let's get this over with." replied Eighteen.
Towa begins by powering up tremendously, forming a purplish black aura around her. Her muscles bulge for a short moment, then the area shakes as from her demonic power. Finally ready to fight, Towa decides to spice things up. She tosses her staff up in the air and destroys it with a ki-blast, making it a true hand to hand combat. Towa attacks with a quick three hit combo, a one-two punch, and a forward cross kick to the head. Eighteen quickly blocks each of them with her forearm with hardly any effort.
"Well, it's nice to see you've gotten a bit stronger. Now I might actually have a challenge in my new form." said Towa.
"You caught me off guard during our last battle. That won't happen again." replied Eighteen.
"Then let's see what you've got Eighteen!" replied Towa, attacking with a straight punch.
Eighteen stops Towa's punch by grabbing her wrist, then she counter attacks with a forward swinging kick to The Demon Queen's cheek. The impact was so great it sent Towa skidding across the ground on her stomach until stopping a few yards away. Towa took a moment to get up. She sits up on her knees and wipes the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand.
"So, there is some fight in you after all. That kick of yours actually hurt. It's been a while since I've felt pain. It's such a strange sensation. But don't get too confident. For you have yet to see I am truly capable of." replied Towa.
She stands up and begins to power up even more. Using the combined powers of Mira and herself, Towa forms a dark purple aura around herself, making all of Satan City crumble. Buildings collapse and break down from her awesome power. Eighteen stands firm with her hair blowing in the wind, staring at Towa with a look of fury in her eyes. After a couple minutes, Towa reaches full power and unleashes a wave of power that creates a massive crater. Finally after the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Towa stood with a fierce aura of evil.
"I wondered when you'd show your true self," said Eighteen.
"Yes…" replied Towa, doing a fist pump. "And now that you've witnessed the power of the Queen of Demons… I shall use it to send you to the deepest reaches of hell. Ultimate Punishment Eighteen!"
"I cannot forgive what you did. For Seventeen, for Krillin, I will end this once and for all." replied Eighteen.
"Hahaha… That's the spirit Eighteen. Let your fury overcome you, and let our true selves do battle!" replied Towa.
Towa aims her palm at Eighteen and fires a medium size, purple ki-blast, swallowing the powerful android whole. When the smoke cleared, Eighteen remained completely unscathed, shocking Towa.
"What? There's no way you could be completely unharmed by an attack like that." said Towa.
"I told you before...I've trained specifically to defeat you." replied Eighteen.
"I don't care if you've trained for a thousand years...you'll never defeat the power I've recently acquired. Allow me to show you why Demigra: The Demon God chose me to be his Demon Queen!" shouted Towa as she marched towards Eighteen.
Towa's efforts are quickly halted when Eighteen dodges another punch, and counter attacks with a strong punch to Towa's stomach - so powerful that it cripples Towa as she drops to her knees holding her stomach. The pain overwhelmed her, and after a short moment of writhing, Towa stood up very frustrated.
"It hurts, doesn't it Towa?" asked Eighteen.
"Ugh! How dare you make a mockery of me! I am the Demon Queen Towa!... And I won't let this minuscule power of yours be a problem!" replied Towa.
The Demon Queen takes flight, putting a good amount of distance between Eighteen and herself. Towa places her index and middle fingers to her forehead and shouts "Special Beam Cannon!" a technique she acquired from merging with Mira after he obtained Piccolo's DNA. Towa brings her fingers out and fires the giant beam in full power. So large that it turns the whole sky orange.
Eighteen stands firm, tightens her fists and puts up her arms in an X formation, ready to block the attack. The beam collides, pushing Eighteen backwards slowly until exploding. Towa smiles, looking down as the light fades, leaving a cloud of smoke. But to her surprise, through the smoke, Eighteen is seen with her arms still up completely unscathed.
"What!" said a shocked Towa with her eyes perked up.
"I told you before, you can't beat me.." replied Eighteen.
"Ugh! I don't give a damn! You still don't compare to me. No one compares to the unmatched powers I possess. And very soon, you'll be nothing more than a memory!" replied Towa.
"Is that so? Well why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and prove it." replied Eighteen in a condescending voice.
"Watch your tongue Eighteen. It's unwise to speak to the Queen of Demons in such a manner. But if my power is what you want to see then so be it!" replied an angry Towa.
Upset by Eighteen's words, Towa quickly charges the advanced android once more with another straight punch. Eighteen dodges and knees Towa hard in the stomach, making her expel blood from her mouth. Then Eighteen follows up with a strong punch to Towa's cheek, sending her flying backwards, skidding across the ground on her back until finally stopping, leaving skid marks in the ground. Towa sits up with cuts and scrapes all over her body, "No… This can't be. Your power shouldn't be greater than mine. I have merged with Mira. I have all of his power in addition to my own. Not to mention the energy he collected throughout our time in space. So tell me something Eighteen… How can you be stronger than me!?" she demanded.
"Perhaps… By all means you should be stronger. But I found an opportunity to get a year's worth of training in one day." replied Eighteen.
"A year's worth of training? What?" replied Towa.
"That's right… Goku introduced me to a special room located here on Earth that acts as a doorway to another realm. Time inside this realm moves at a much slower pace. One year there, equals one day on Earth." explained Eighteen.
"Ugh… That Goku tricked us! He needed time for the lot of you to get stronger. I knew he was up to something." replied Towa.
"Yes...and it seems you took the bait." replied Eighteen.
"Well, it doesn't matter how long you trained for, I'll still destroy you… The Queen of Demons is not someone to be trifled with. You'll come to understand the full extent of my power soon indeed." replied Towa.
The two powerful warriors clash, exchanging punches and kicks back and forth. But Towa soon discovers the large gap between her power and Eighteen's. Towa is pummeled with tremendous blows that nearly cripple her...revealing that Eighteen had more than twice her strength. The Demon Queen drops to her knees once more, twitching in pain.
"What's wrong Towa? Isn't this what you wanted?" asked Eighteen with a look of enjoyment.
Towa, on her knees in pain looks up at Eighteen with a look of discomfort, "You… You will pay dearly for this! No one makes a fool of the Queen of Demons!..I will rain down every agony, every violation imaginable, upon you... I will parade your cold body from every realm, and feed your soul to the vilest filth in Hell, that is my promise!" she said.
"Strange, after proving you're outclassed, you still spout vile exposition." replied Eighteen.
Towa quickly fires a small purple ki-blast from her palm upwards. Eighteen dodges it by slightly leaning to one side. The blast explodes behind her making a cloud of smoke. This was simply a diversion. Catching Eighteen off guard, Towa teleports with super speed high in the sky. She raises her hand above her head and creates a massive sphere of pure demonic energy within it. Eighteen looks up with a concerned face.
"Hahahaha... You shouldn't have taken your eyes off me. I can gather energy much faster in this form. Now you will understand what true power is! DIE EIGHTEEN! DIE, ALONG WITH THIS PLANET!" shouted a very angry Towa.
It was clear Towa was pulling out all the stops in an attempt to achieve her revenge. Her anger, and humiliation of defeat blinded her from any care of conquering the planet. Towa launches the massive dark purple sphere downward. This slow, but giant sphere covers a large portion of the sky, turning it purple. Eighteen stood firm and tightened her fist. She knew if this attack was allowed to hit Earth, it would surely destroy it. So she puts her hands together and fires a large Kamehameha that deflects Towa's attack backwards. Weakened, and hardly anytime to react, the Demon Queen is swallowed whole by her own attack now fused with an even larger Kamehameha.
"OHHHHHH!" screams Towa as she takes massive damage.
The giant wave flew out into space and exploded shortly afterwards. Towa is left with brutal, bloody injuries, and dismemberment. The Demon Queen twitches in agony, and goes through convulsions. Eighteen stares upwards at the mutilated Towa, smirking at her injuries. Wanting to let her suffer, Eighteen decides to prolong killing her right away, and let's her regenerate. An ability Towa gained after merging with Mira. After a few minutes of suffering, Towa regenerates her injuries and lost limbs. She takes a couple deep breaths as the pain subsides.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Towa in anger. "Damn you Eighteen!... I refuse to believe that you're stronger than me… I am the Demon Queen, only to be revealed by Demigra!"
Towa returns to the ground, ready to face off against Super Eighteen again.
Meanwhile, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, Goten, Trunks, and Krillin find themselves outmatched by the Demon God. He beats them all without much effort until they're all lying unconscious before him. Goku, with his clothes damaged, is beaten until he can no longer fight. He crawls helplessly across the ground trying to get away. Demigra stands over the helpless Goku with his palm aimed at his back. The Demon God pulverises Goku with rapid small ki-blasts. Goku's clothes are further damaged as he's brutally blasted in the back. Eventually Goku's power is reduced to nearly zero. Demigra stops his assault and lets the smoke clear. Goku lays lifeless on his stomach in a crater with smoke coming from his back. His body twitches from the damage inflicted on him.
Demigra smirks at Goku's pain, "Ah, a tough one indeed. But it was only a matter of time before you met your match Goku… But I think before I kill you, I'll give you the opportunity to watch your family and friends perish before you." he said.
"Wh...at?... No… You...can't!" muttered the injured Goku.
"Oh, but I can Goku… You brought this on yourself… Janemba gave you the opportunity to join our cause. But you decided to make your own agenda… Now your fate is sealed… Your punishment for defying the Demon God is death! Starting with your friends!" replied a lustful Demigra, turning his back to Goku and walking away.
Goku rolls over on his back, "No… Everyone… I'm sorry…" he said in a low, injured voice. "Damn… I guess it's over… I did my best… It just wasn't enough…" he muttered to himself.
Goku stares up at the almost night sky peering into the full moon, "Ah the moon… Feels nice…" he said, reaching his hand to the sky, feeling the warmth of the full moon. "At least I got to see the moon one last time… You guys, I'm sorry...I...just...didn't...think it would end up this way."
Staring at the full moon triggered the primal beast within Goku. The heart-beat starts, and his eyes turn red, with brown fur sprouting on his body. Goku's clothes rip as his body grows into a giant ape, taking on the Oozaru Form (Great Ape). Goku was now a raging beast.
Demigra turns around to witness the giant ape and decides to alter his plans. Rather than finishing off Goku's friends and family himself, the Demon God saw it fitting to let the mindless ape do the deed for him. Oozaru Goku powers up immensely, activating his Super Saiyan powers, becoming the Golden Oozaru of legend.
The Z-Warriors awake at the sight of the giant beast. Vegeta took a moment to retort, thinking back to his time on Namek against the Ginyu Force. He replays the events of watching Goku defeat Recoome and Burter. That's when he thought Goku had achieved the legendary power of the saiyan race. The legend foretells that the original Super Saiyan could only maintain his powers in the Oozaru Form. Having no equal in the universe, and unable to control his primal nature, the golden beast was destroyed by his own power. Vegeta observes Goku's golden form, and realizes the legend might be true after all.
"Kakarot…" said an amazed Vegeta.
Golden Oozaru Goku was a mad beast. No longer able to control his actions, Oozaru Goku begins destroying everything in sight, smashing buildings, blowing up the terrain with mouth beams. It was clear this was no longer the Goku everyone knew.
"Oh no, this is bad, real bad." said Krillin.
"Yeah, we've gotta put an end to this before Goku destroys the entire planet," said Tien.
"His tail… We've gotta cut his tail off." replied Gohan. "It's the only way we can get dad back to normal."
Piccolo interrupts the conversation with a different look on the situation, "No… Goku has got to overcome the one thing he's never been able to control before." he said.
"What!?... Piccolo! That's crazy talk! Goku has never been able to control his Ape Form." replied Krillin.
"Yeah… But sometimes crazy works. It might be our only chance to stop his demon once and for all… It's obvious that no one among this group, even Goku has the power to defeat such a foe as this. Maybe it's time we tipped the scales in our favor." replied Piccolo.
"Well… I don't know Piccolo, it sounds too risky. At this rate Goku will destroy the entire planet if we don't if he doesn't get back to normal." replied Krillin.
"Like we have a choice!?" asked Piccolo in a stern voice. "Sometimes the best decision isn't the easiest one."
"Then I guess it's up to us to help Goku come to his senses. Desperate times call for desperate measures." replied Krillin.
"Alright… It's settled then… Let's go, remember, we only have to convince Goku of who he is. It's still our friend somewhere inside there." replied Piccolo.
Piccolo, Gohan, Tien, Goten, Trunks, and Krillin take flight, and surround Oozaru Goku with an injured Vegeta watching on his knees from afar.
"Foolish really… I mean it's not like they'll make a difference… Kakarot's mind is in another place. There's no reaching it. All they're going to do is get themselves killed." said Vegeta.
Piccolo, and the others try to reach Goku's mind by reminiscing, in hopes Goku would snap out of it.
"Hey Goku! It's me Krillin! You know! Your best friend! We go way back!" yells Krillin with cupped hands around his mouth, trying to reach his friend.
Oozaru Goku doesn't recognize Krillin at all, and smacks him away with the back of his hand like an annoying fly. Next Gohan makes his attempt at reaching his father, "Come on Dad… I know you're in there somewhere... I always thought you were invincible. As a kid I always looked up to you. You've gotta wake up and join the fight against this demon." he said. Gohan's words were accurate, but non-recognizable. Oozaru Goku fires a blue beam from his mouth that completely overwhelms Gohan. He goes flying far away, landing into a pile of rubble.
"No! Gohan!" shouted Piccolo. "That's it! It's time to wake up Goku!"
Piccolo powers up, and tries to knock some sense into Oozaru Goku with a strong overhead elbow to the top of his head, "Wake up!" he shouted shortly after his attack connected.
The giant ape was unaffected by Piccolo's attack, and grabs the Namekian warrior with his right hand. Piccolo was trapped helplessly. Oozaru Goku winds his arm back, and with sheer power, throws Piccolo like a baseball pitcher into a rock formation. Piccolo is buried under rubble.
Tien was open next. He blinds the ape with his signature technique, "Solar Flare!" he shouts. Oozaru Goku reels backwards holding his eyes, completely unable to see.
"Come on Goku. It's time to wake up. We need you back bud. I remember when we first met. I had never faced anyone so confident before. It was a good match indeed." said Tien with a smile.
After a brief moment the giant ape slowly regains his sight and gets angry. Tien tries to confuse the ape by using Multi-Form, splitting himself into four clones. In a final attempt to recover his friend, the four Tiens attack the beast in different directions. But to no avail, Oozaru Goku knocks them all out like he's swatting flies. The four Tiens are easily defeated and return to one. Oozaru Goku pounds on his chest repeatedly like a monkey and yells in a beastly voice at his victory. Goten, Trunks, and Vegeta were the only ones left.
"Damn… I guess there's no choice." said Vegeta in his mind.
Vegeta appears in front of Goten and Trunks, "Boys… Listen closely… Find some place far away from here that's safe and stay there." he said.
"What!? But Dad, we have to stay and fight together!" replied Trunks.
"Now don't be stupid, you both know you don't stand a chance against this demon… Now hurry up and get out of here!" replied Vegeta.
"But Dad, do you have a plan or something? Surely you don't plan to fight him on your own?" asked Trunks.
"There's no time for a debate! I have to wake up Kakarot, even if I do it with my own two hands!" replied Vegeta, powering up to Super Saiyan 2 afterwards.
Vegeta flew off towards Oozaru Goku in an aggressive manner. He gets in a few strong, heavy hits. But his efforts do nothing more than annoy the giant ape. It wasn't long before Vegeta also crumbled at the hands of the massive beast. Oozaru Goku grabs Vegeta with both hands, trapping the saiyan like a helpless child. Oozaru Goku aggressively slams Vegeta hard into the ground with one hand, creating a massive earthquake. Vegeta's body rips through the ground for miles until finally crashing into a building that collapses on top of him. Vegeta's energy signal completely vanishes, bringing concern to Goten & Trunks.
Oh no! Everyone else is down! It's just us now!" said Goten in a frightened voice.
"Then let's become Super Gotenks and knock some sense into that overgrown monkey!" replied Kid Trunks.
"Yeah… Then we'll show 'em!" replied Goten.
The boys line up in the fusion dance formation. But just as they're about to fuse, Oozaru Goku blows Kid Trunks away with a ki-blast from the mouth, leaving Goku's youngest son to fend off the mindless beast all by himself. Afraid that he's all alone and doesn't know what to do, Goten starts crying. But his tears are quickly put on hold when Oozaru Goku slaps the young saiyan into a wall with the back of his hand. Goten stood up from the rubble with his gi damaged. He wipes the tears from his face with his arm, and his sorrowness shifts into bravery. Goten knew it was up to him to reach his father underneath the massive beast. He powers up to Super Saiyan and takes flight stopping behind the giant ape. Oozaru Goku went back to smashing buildings with his punches and kicks, and destroying scenery with mouth ki-blasts, even punching the ground so hard that every volcano on Earth erupted at the same time.
"Daddy!" shouted Goten, catching the ape's attention.
Oozaru Goku turns around to the young Super Saiyan's voice. His red eyes stare into Goten's.
"You've got to stop this before you destroy the entire planet… You need to come back Daddy." said Goten.
Oozaru Goku still did not recognize Goten at all. He grabs the young saiyan with two hands, trapping the youngster in his grasp.
"Stop it Daddy! It's me Goten!..." shouted Goten as he's slowly squeezed to death.
Oozaru Goku doesn't let up, squeezing his youngest son harder and harder. Goten was helpless to do anything. He reverts back to base form and nearly passes out from the pressure. Goten leans forward shortly after being dazed. A picture falls out of his gi onto the ape's hand. Out of curiosity, Oozaru Goku, while holding Goten with his right hand, picks up the picture with his left hand and holds it firmly between his index finger and thumb. He takes a sudden glance at the photo. It was a picture taken of Goku himself, celebrating with his friends and family during a party on the Lookout, organized by Bulma a few months after Kid Buu was defeated. Oozaru Goku eyes perk up as he begins to recognize his loved ones in the photo.
"That's us...when we were all together… Do you remember Dad?" said a nearly conscious Goten.
Oozaru Goku looks deeply into the photo and then looks back at Goten, recognizing him in the photo. Memories of Goku's life flow through his mind, remembering all the battles, time with family, friends, and even remembering when he first turned into a Super Saiyan on Namek after Frieza murdered Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin. Then he remembers the first conversation he had with Chi-Chi shortly after Goten was born. He also remembers teaching Goten and Trunks the fusion technique during the Majin Buu Saga. All of it was slowly coming back to him.
"Go...Go...ten…" said Oozaru Goku in the beastly voice.
Oozaru Goku releases Goten, and covers his face with both hands. A struggle was going on inside. Goten, laying on his back with damaged clothes, looks up at the giant ape, watching the whole thing. All of Goku's memories and feelings that he's ever experienced begin passing through his mind...and with a long extended roar, and his arms above his head, Oozaru Goku explodes in a bright golden light that blinds everyone. Even Demigra from a building high above is blinded. Then, after a few minutes, the light dies down, and Goku emerges in a normal size, new primal form.
The appearance of this form was Super Saiyan 4 from Dragon Ball GT. Though for the sake of this story, I don't prefer the title Super Saiyan 4, instead, from now on, it will be called - "True Super Saiyan" as it's title represents a saiyan's absolute maximum potential.
In this form, Goku's hair color differs, the same goes for his tail. His body is covered in red fur. He also has crimson trim around his eyes and eyelids. His hair is lengthened while becoming wilder, reaching down to the middle of his back, while two long pointed bangs of hair appear on both sides of his neck. The aura in this form loses the arcs of electricity, once again shaped like a regular Super Saiyan's smooth aura.
This form is a transformation from Golden Great Ape, achieved when a Golden Great Ape has achieved a "human heart" - causing the birth of this form, which has both the tremendous power of the Golden Great Ape and the reasoning of a "human heart" The power brought on by this mighty form is massive, giving Goku nearly limitless energy without the backlash of fatigue like the weakness of Super Saiyan 3. Goku finally achieved the power that his ancient ancestors spoke of long ago… Finally tapping into a saiyan's full potential.
Goku, in his new Primal form is also able to utilize more powerful signature techniques. For example, he can summon a Kamehameha that is ten times stronger than the Super Kamehameha at his full power in previous forms.
Goten runs up to his father with a look of joy, "Dad! You're you again!" he said.
"That's right Goten, It's me." replied Goku.
"You look really cool!... But do you think you'll ever get back to your old self?" asked Goten.
"I don't know Goten. This body, and it's amazing powers are necessary right now." replied Goku.
Goku looked around at the crushed buildings and destroyed scenery, "Did I do all of this?" he asked.
"Uh-huh… You turned into a giant ape, and started smashing everything." replied Goten.
Goku displays a face of anger and disappointment with himself, "You guys, I'm sorry." he said in a sad voice.
Demigra watched from a tall building above. He descends downwards with an evil smile, "Goku! I was so enjoying watching you destroy everything. It was a spectacular sight indeed… But I see you evolved in some way… I guess we'll call you monkey man." he said.
"Demigra… I can't forgive you for any of this." replied Goku with a serious face.
"You can't forgive me?... I don't recall ever asking you to forgive me!... We'll talk about forgiveness when I delete you from existence!" replied Demigra about to attack.
Goku screams, and powers up in his new form. A shockwave of massive energy is released as he builds up his power, blowing Demigra away like away through several buildings. The others awake at the sense of Goku's new, primal, massive power.
"Do ya feel that?" asked Krillin.
"Yeah, it's Goku… He's evolved to a new level… And this one makes this demon seem like nothing." replied Piccolo.
Vegeta, injured, on his knee, watches Goku from afar, "Well… this should be interesting. It looks like the tables are about to turn." he said in his mind.
Demigra returns to the battlefield, annoyed and angry at how easily he was blown away by Goku's energy, "Enough with the games Goku… Let us continue where we left off." he said in a stern voice.
The Demon God raises one hand to above his head creating a giant sphere of pure demonic energy. It looked distinguishingly familiar to Frieza's Death Ball, "It was fun watching you destroy everything Goku. But now it's time to erase you from existence!" he said, firing his massive attack shortly after.
Goku stood completely still with his guard down, letting the massive ball hit him directly. It explodes on contact, creating a pitch black explosion of darkness. Though it was almost night time already, this explosion made it seem darker than normal. The others cover their eyes in a massive explosion. Demigra looked down with a big smile, waiting to see Goku's remains turned to rubble. But when the smoke cleared, Goku remained standing, completely unscathed, in the exact same spot, with the ground around him destroyed.
"WHAT!" shouted Demigra in disbelief. "But how?! You should have been vaporized! No one's body can withstand that much pure dark matter!"
Goku stood in silence with a face of fury, not saying a word. Demigra didn't like Goku's new demeanor, and flew downward in an aggressive manner. He begins to pummel Goku with a barrage of fierce punches. Though it appeared Goku was letting himself get hit. Demigra ends his assault with a strong reeling punch from his right hand, punching Goku hard into a building. He slammed back first into the building, leaving a silhouette crater within it. Goku remained lifeless in the crater with his eyes closed. Demigra continues to rapidly punch the saiyan many times over and over in the gut, vaporizing the building behind Goku piece by piece with every punch. However, Goku appeared to be unharmed with every attack.
"Hahahaha… You villains never really learn do you?" asked Goku.
"What? You were playing games with me the whole time?" asked Demigra, "I'm amazed, Goku. I didn't think you would resort to such trickery."
"I'm amazed as well… Amazed at how strong I've become… Your attacks only tickle, like a tiny feather." replied Goku with a deceptive look.
"How dare you play games with me Goku! It's time you learned what a real god can do!" replied a mildly angry Demigra.
The Demon God tries another barrage of punches. Goku breaks through his offensive with ease with a single cross punch that sends the Demon God flying through multiple buildings. The scenery collapses on him, leaving Demigra buried under a pile of rubble. After a brief moment, the rubble explodes in a flash of dark energy. Demigra arises, angry and frustrated. He fires a barrage of laser-like ki-blasts from his finger at Goku. Goku remained still, taking every hit on purpose. Demigra keeps blasting for a solid minute. But his efforts were futile. Each beam was nothing but a slight sensation to Goku. No harm was done, and after a few moments of firing, Demigra stopped in disarray.
"What the hell is this? Not even a scratch? How can't this be?... My powers are supposed to be absolute... No mere mortal is capable of rivaling me. Yet my powers are completely inferior to his. No… I won't accept this… He will die at my hands." said Demigra in his mind.
Demigra decides to test Goku. He raises his hands in the air once more, creating another sphere of pure demonic energy. Only this time, he aims for Goku's friends and family. Knowing there wouldn't be enough time to divert the attack, Goku uses Instant Transmission to appear in the path of the giant sphere and takes it head on. He knew the explosion would most likely kill his friends, so he couldn't let it explode. Goku tried to push it back with both arms but it was simply too large to deflect with his body. The saiyan is consumed by it completely and floats around inside it. Though it wasn't a threat to him, Goku knew he only had a few moments to save his friends. He powers up inside the dark matter sphere, and absorbs the dark matter completely into his body, canceling out the attack. He stood completely unharmed looking up at the Demon God.
"How poetic… That fool jumps in the way to save those worthless Earthlings. I don't understand how a being such as Goku would take pity on such inferior creatures… No matter, it will soon be corrected." said Demigra.
Goku meets Demigra in the air, appearing a few feet in front of him, "Hey! This fight is between you and me… Leave the others out of this." he said in a stern voice.
"Such heroic nonsense Goku… I admire your sportsmanship… But you're not the one giving the orders here, I am!..." replied Demigra.
"Despicable… You villains are all the same… You'll do whatever it takes to win the game, even if it means you have to fight dirty… Tell me Demigra, what goes through your mind when you slaughter innocent, helpless beings?" asked Goku with a serious face.
"Hahaha… A noble saiyan I see… But to answer your question, nothing really… Such inferior, insignificant beings aren't worthy of notion." replied Demigra in a sinister voice.
"I see, not even a second thought… So be it then… I told you before I couldn't forgive you. Now, I'm going to destroy you once and for all." replied Goku.
"Bold words Goku… Die!" replied Demigra, firing a barrage of laser ki blasts from his index finger.
Goku deflects each of them with a single arm, swatting each of them away with his hand in a rapid motion. Then Goku dashes through the barrage with his shoulder and kicks Demigra hard in the cheek. The Demon God goes flying through multiple buildings. Quickly Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport in front of Demigra's path and attacks downwards with a powerful double-fist punch to his gut. Demigra plummets into the ground below like a bullet, burying him deep under the Earth's crust. The impact creates multiple earthquakes. Goku returns to the ground, looking at the rubble, knowing the fight isn't over. The rubble explodes in a flash of purple light, creating a massive crater. Demigra rose out of the crater bloody and beaten. His anger rises at his humiliation of being beaten by a saiyan.
"So this is a saiyan's true potential… Fascinating… You're the first mortal to ever harm me in this manner." said Demigra, wiping the blood from his mouth.
"I see, well, you must be terribly disappointed then." replied Goku with a smile.
"Not in the least… I've actually forgotten how fun a real fight can be. It's not often I have to go all out to defeat someone. You should feel privileged Goku, because you'll be the first person to ever witness my true strength. Too bad you won't live long enough for it to matter." replied Demigra.
The Demon God powers up immensely, making the whole planet shake. A dark purple aura forms around him. Goku of course let's him power up to maximum for the thrill of fighting a stronger opponent. The primal saiyan nature caused by Goku's transformation changed his personality a little, displaying a more brutal side of saiyans. He smirks the entire time while Demigra powers up. Demigra's power was so massive, it was felt all the way in Satan City, alerting Towa.
"Master Demigra is going all out. This is rather unusual, he should have no issues with that saiyan." said Towa in her mind.
This quick distraction was just enough time for Eighteen to get in a massive blow - a strong punch to the gut. Then Eighteen followed up with a swift forward spinning kick to the face with the front of her foot, striking Towa hard in the mouth and nose. The Demon Queen is crippled. She dropped to her hands and knees. Towa's lifeforce was getting weaker with every blow. She was beaten and bloody. Greatly upset that at her humiliation, Towa's ego was torn to shreds, "Damn you Eighteen…" she said in a weakened voice, with purple blood dripping from her mouth and chin.
"You've made your bed Towa, now lie in it." replied Eighteen.
"No, I refuse to believe this is my fate." replied Towa.
"You can run if you want Towa… I'll give you a five second head. Then I'll destroy you." replied Eighteen.
Towa, nearly depleted of power, flees for her life. Mindlessly frightened of Eighteen's power, she displays a face of intense fear as she flies away at full speed.
Eighteen aims her hand upwards, directly at Towa and starts counting, "One… Two… Three… Four… Five…" she said.
The powerful android fires a massive yellow ki-wave from a single hand. Towa, helpless to escape, is swallowed whole. She screams in agony as her body is brutally vaporized. The conflict between Super Eighteen and The Demon Queen Towa was finally over. But a battle on a much larger scale was taking place elsewhere.
Demigra had finally reached his full power and struck Goku with three massive blows - an underhand punch to the abdomen, kick to neck, and a straight punch to the forehead. Goku's upper body twists halfway around, while his lower body remains stationary. This was an act put on by Goku, testing Demigra's true strength against his own. Demigra smirkes, and starts laughing, thinking he's done some real damage. But his laughter was halted when Goku turned his body upright and smiled at Demigra, revealing that he failed to inflict any damage.
"What?... Those were direct hits with all my power behind them!" said the flabbergasted Demigra.
"Hahahaha… Those were free." replied Goku smirking the whole time.
Demigra rears his fist back for another punch. But Goku lands a massive blow to Demigra's gut, crippling him. The Demigra God dropped to his knees in agony.
"That's all you've got seriously?" sarcastically asked Goku.
"You disgraceful, barbaric, worthless, fucking saiyan!… I'll show you what true power is!" replied Demigra in a painful voice.
Shocked, and upset that his maximum power is still no match for Goku's Primal Form, Demigra became desperate. The Demon God takes flight to the sky backwards, putting a good distance between himself and Goku. Unwilling to accept that he is inferior, Demigra raises both his arms above his head, and summons the largest sphere of pure demonic that he's ever produced. The sphere was massive in size, nearly equal to Earth's moon.
"Now witness as I demonstrate what the God of Demon's is capable of. I will destroy the entire planet. You can move out of the way if you wish, but the entire planet will be destroyed!" shouted Demigra.
At this point, insanity overtook Demigra's mind. He becomes madly obsessed with destroying Goku, no matter the cost. Even if it meant the end of everything. Goku however stood firm, waiting for Demigra to release his massive attack. The enraged Demon God brings his arms diagonally downward, launching the sphere. As it slowly descends downwards, buildings, terrain, and any remaining scenery is ripped apart by the sheer force of this massive sphere. Goku waits till the last possible second before deflecting it with a Red Kamehameha, also known as Ultimate Kamehameha. He merges two red energy spheres in his hand, then he brings his hands forward and fires an Ultimate Kamehameha Wave even larger than Demigra's attack. The tables turn, forcing Demigra's large sphere back at him like a beach ball being deflected. The Demon God was swallowed whole by his own attack, plus Goku's immensely powered up version of the Super Kamehameha. The combined power of both attacks sent everyone in the area flying backwards along with the scenery, burning the Z-Warriors under layers of rubble. The massive explosion turns the whole sky red as a tail light. After it was all over, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, Goten & Trunks emerged from the rubble.
"Man… Looks like Goku did it. That Demon is history!" cheerfully said Goten.
"No… It's not over yet… I can still sense him. Goku might have severely crippled him, but he's still very much alive." replied Piccolo.
"What!?... There's no way he could survive an attack like that!" replied Krillin.
"Watch…and you'll see what I mean." replied Piccolo.
Piccolo's assumption was indeed correct. Demigra remained, badly injured, with his power crippled over a hundred fold. Goku decides to finish the Demon God once and for all with his new technique "Dragon Fist" he reels his clenched fist back before charging Demigra and launching his fist forward, brutally smashing straight through Demigra's torso. As he makes contact, the energy of his attack is amplified far past Goku's normal power due to his primal form, triggering an explosion of ki in the form of a 'golden, shining dragon' (resembling Shenron). The resulting collision completely obliterates The Demon God, leaving a gaping hole through his abdomen. The Dragon was so large in size that it could be seen from miles away. In Satan City, Super Eighteen catches a glimpse of the Golden Dragon from the sky. This alerts her to the location of the others. She takes flight, heading the dragon's direction.
The Demon God is no more, and his energy signal disappears completely. Goku falls forward on the ground and reverts back to his base form. Unable to fully gasp his Primal Powers yet, Goku was drained of energy just from sustaining the form. The remaining Z-Warriors gather around Goku, helping him up. Victory was achieved, and the space pirate threat was finally put to rest. The demon plague Demigra on the earth disappears completely, along with the dark sky. As the sky clears up, it's revealed to show another realm being reflected within the horizon of Earth's atmosphere. This was rather peculiar indeed. Then, out of nowhere, the dragon balls come together in the sky and land on the ground in front of the Dragon Team. The balls pulsate like Shenron is being summoned. Then Shenron comes forth, out of the dragon balls in a flash of yellow light. The sky however was not darkened like usual. This was very unusual.
"What on earth?... Since when does Shenron summon himself without being called?" asked a very perplexed Krillin.
"I'm not sure… I've never heard of him doing this kind of thing." replied Piccolo.
"Arise Goku…" said Shenron looking down at the Dragon Team.
Shenron's eyes glow red, restoring Goku's to full strength. His injuries are healed, and he stands up.
"Shenron?... You're here? But why?" asked Goku, looking up at the Eternal Dragon.
"I'm sure you're wondering about the strange reflection in the sky." replied Shenron.
"Yes, I am, I'd like to know what's going on." replied Goku.
"Throughout the years, I've witnessed you summon me to grant many wishes time and time again… Doing so has caused a dimensional tear between realms. What you see in the sky is a reflection of another realm… This is due to overuse of the Dragon Balls… Recently, a band of Space Pirates came to earth in search of the Dragon Balls, and a final wish was made that brought the God of the Demon Realm out of his imprisonment. Too many events have been altered… The Dragon Balls were intended to be a thing of extraordinary magic and power. Something to be revered, not for the ease of their method. But for the dream of never having to use them. The Dragon Balls are a privilege, not a right. I'm afraid this planet can no longer be trusted with the Dragon Balls, therefore I must separate myself, and all of earth from the Dragon Balls forever." explained Shenron.
"I understand… Old Kai warned me this would happen one day…" replied Goku.
"In time the tear will continue to grow larger until reality can no longer be sustained, causing a collapse. This will create a dimensional explosion that will destroy all life in the universe." explained Shenron.
"What?... Oh no… Isn't there something we can do to fix it?" asked Goku.
"Yes… Long ago there existed a more powerful, more advanced version of the Dragon Balls known as "The Universal Dragon Balls." They were the original Dragon Balls that other sets were created after… They are scattered throughout the universe. Seek them out… For they are the one thing, the only thing that can undo the damage that has been done." replied Shenron.
"I got ya… But before you go, I was wondering if you could listen to just one more request I have?" politely asked Goku.
"Very well… One last time." replied Shenron.
"After the demons came here, a lot of innocent people were killed. Then Demigra and Towa destroyed even more in the process… If this is anyone's fault, it's mine. I take full responsibility… I just wish the people of this planet could live in peace once again… The fight was never theirs to win or lose, but they all lost anyway." replied Goku.
"Then so be it… Your final wish has been granted." replied Shenron with his eyes glowing.
The final wish was granted. All the destruction and people killed was fixed, also bringing Fat Buu back to life. Then, after a brief moment of silence, Shenron bids farewell to Earth, along with the Dragon Balls, forever. The Dragon Team watches Shenron's long body disappear through the clouds, taking the Dragon Balls with him.
"Thank you Shenron, for all the great memories." reminisced Goku in an honorable voice.
"So that's it… The Dragon Balls are gone forever? How are we going to get by without them?" asked Krillin.
"I think I understand what Shenron was talking about. From now on, it's up to us to prevent any more evil from damaging this planet… The Dragon Balls have been a trump card from us this whole time." explained Goku.
Sheron's purging of the Dragon Balls has made the Dragon Team come to understand their presence on Earth is of grave importance. But it appears a new problem has emerged. Goku and company must soon scour the universe to search for a new, more powerful set of Dragon Balls in order to fix reality. A new adventure is on the horizon.
This story is complete... But I am currently working on a sequel to it. This sequel will pick up right where this left off, with all the same characters. I feel I want to shift the focus to everyone, not just Eighteen. This story was just to get her established as a powerful member of the cast. More is on the way.
