Chapter 8: The End of a Dynasty
In Stratosphere:
Gohan was masking his power and flying with a none existent golden aura, so King Cold couldn't detect that he was even there.
King Cold was preparing to fire off the Super Nova when a sudden ki blast obliterated the entire thing in King Cold's face. He looked on in irritation and said,''Who wants to die next!'',yelled an infuriated King Cold.
''I do!'',boldly yelled Gohan. King Cold looked and smirked,''So its you brat. Wonder where you went to hide because we never finished our fight. How rude of you just to leave, but now that your here...THERE IS NO ESCAPE!'',yelled King Cold as he vanished and reappeared behind Gohan.
Gohan turned around with a kick aimed at King Cold. King Cold slapped Gohan's leg out of the way and punched him hard across the face.
The punch drew blood and Gohan wiped his mouth with his glove. King Cold then tried to punch Gohan in the gut, but Gohan disappeared out of sight. Gohan suddenly reappeared as a golden bolt and kicked King Cold in the head.
Back to the Earth's Surface:
The blow sent King Cold flying down back to the Earth's surface. Gohan regained his Super Saiyan aura and flew down after King Cold. King Cold looked up and fired a death beam at Gohan.
Gohan just slapped it away like nothing, which detonated the island near by. King Cold halted his fall and caught a momentum based Gohan with a very hard punch to the gut, rendering him airless and making him spit out some blood.
Gohan flew back up and put one hand behind the other above his head. ''Masenko HAAA!'',screamed Gohan as the blast roared on towards King Cold. King Cold just used his tail to swipe it away.
Suddenly, a lightning fast punch dead in face came from a blurry white glove. The causer was none other than Vegeta, the prince of all Saiyans. Cold staggered back and was kicked upwards by Piccolo.
He was then met with Krillin and Yamcha firing a Kaioken infused Kamehameha wave. The combined beams formed an even bigger beam and forced King Cold back to the the ground.
Before King Cold could say anything, Chiaotzu hit King Cold head on with a psychic wave. the invisible wave of energy generated through his mind sent King Cold into a Kaiken Neo-Tri beam which exploded and impacted King Cold with the force of a freight train colliding with a bus.
King Cold staggered back and looked on in shock as the revived Z-fighters looked towards King Cold. ''How? Some of you are supposed to be dying, and all of your injuries appear to be healed!'',demanded King Cold.
''Well if you must know... we never die down'',answered Krillin. King Cold smirked when he said that and said,''Oh, is that a fact?!'',mocked King cold.
Krillin tensed up, preparing for an attack when suddenly Yamcha was impaled through the chest, leaving a medium sized hole inside. ''Damn.. you'',Yamcha painfully said as his eyes went blank and he finally died again for the second time.
Everyone except Vegeta and Piccolo looked on in horror at Yamcha's death. ''Now, now who's next up'',said King Cold as he started laughing at Yamcha's corpse that was in front of him.
''You MONSTER!'',screamed Krillin as he charged with a dangerous red blazing aura surrounding him. ''Kaioken X25!'',screamed Krillin as he neared King Cold. Tien and Gohan also charged at King Cold to aid Krillin.
''Kaioken X25!'',also screamed Tien as a red blazing aura surrounded him as well. King Cold looked on and smiled cruelly as he prepared to fight a triple threat. Tine was the first to reach King Cold, and put two hands at the side of his head.
''Solar Flare!'',shouted Tien. The light that illuminated from the blinding technique temporarily blinded King Cold. Tien then put one arm in front of the other forming a cross. Suddenly, another Tien popped out of nowhere.
Then both Tiens formed anoher Tien and in all, four Tiens were created. Each Tien had the same power level and abilities as the real one. The four Tiens jumped forward to fight King Cold, who was regaining vision.
Gohan knocked him forwards with a swift punch, because King Cold was blinded. Krillin then appeared behind King Cold, kneeing him in the back halting his sudden flight across the battlefield.
''Grrr..., when I regain my vision your all going to die, no more games'',complained King Cold as he tried to see his hands.
Krillin then blasted him forward with a golden energy beam. Krillin then put up one hand to create a huge destructo disk to finish King Cold off once and for all. ''Destructo dis...Aaaaaauggh!'',screamed Krillin in agony as King Colds fist hit the top of Krillins spinal cord so hard, that it snapped rendering his ki messed up and his body paralyzed for life.
Krillin fell face first onto the ground, nearly dead. ''And another person has fallen'',stated King Cold. ''You bastard!'',hollered Tien as the four Tiens and Gohan ganged up on King Cold.
King Cold effortlessly dodged the Tiens but Gohan was hard to dodge at the same time. ''You can't keep this up forever'',commented Gohan. King Cold knew this so he bull rushed through the Tiens and Gohan. He then turned around and shot four death beams a the group.
The three Tien clones were the first ones to die and the real Tien was in the last beams course of flight.
Gohan saw this a split second before it happened and yelled,''Move Tien!'',hollered Gohan as he rushed towards Tien's location. Tien saw too late and it was too late for him to dodge. Gohan got there just in time to keep Tien from dying, but the beam impaled Gohan's shoulder and Tien's knee.
Tien fell to the ground and Gohan was just floating in the air with a bruised and bloody arm. Piccolo fired off his surprise special beam cannon to kill King Cold. Since King Cold knew how his son Cooler was killed, he kept a secret eye in the dangerous Namekian.
King Cold turned around and smacked it away like it was nothing but a ball being thrown towards him. Chiaotzu decided to jump in the battle and levitated multiple pieces of Earth.
He then flung them all at King Cold, who didn't even move and let the boulders just shatter when they impacted King Cold's durable and muscular frame of a body. The last boulder came and it had Chiaotzu riding on it with a finger beam charging.
Chiaotzu jumped off of the boulder and had the finger pointed at King Cold and said,''Dodon Ray!'',shouted Chiaotzu. The yellow beam was basically a death beam but less effective and more narrow.
''Rip off'',muttered King Cold as he lazily fired his own death beam. The death beam quickly over took the Dodon ray and shot through Chiaotzu's heart, instantly killing him as well for the third time.
''CHIAOTZU!'',yelled an angry Tien who struggle to get up, but with his knee cap shattered he stayed put on the ground in agony. Piccolo fired off a demon wave at King Cold to distract him. King Cold turned around and blew it back at Piccolo.
Piccolo was impacted with his own beam and was met with a clobber to the face from King Cold. King Cold made it rain with punches to Piccolo. Piccolo struggled to defend against it and was knocked back then grabbed by King Cold.
King Cold then punched Piccolo in the face as hard as he could, instantly knocking him unconscious. He then tossed Piccolo and fired a blast at him, meant to kill him.
The blast raced on to vaporize Piccolo when Gohan fired it away with his own blast, obliterating it. However, due to ki consumption and his power being dropped from his shoulders damage, he dropped out of Super Saiyan.
Gohan looked on interror at King Cold. 'Darn it, he's just too strong for us to defeat. I'm sorry daddy'',mentally noted Gohan as he started crying in disappointment.
With man in pod:
The man in the pod was at his boiling point of rage. ''I've gotta step in or there'll be no one left to help save the future!'',yelled the man as he strapped on his sword and opened the cock pit.
The man's name was Trunks, and he was from the future where his world was a living hell by some androids.
He had that badassness and determination to finish the job type attitude. The son of the Prince of all Saiyans capsulized the time machine and flew towards the battle ground.
Back to the battle:
Vegeta uncrossed his arms and walked towards King Cold. King Cold saw this and smirked,''So the worst of them all is back for more'',asked King Cold. Vegeta didn't buy it and said,''Well your definition of the worst is actually the best, because my power has grown considerably higher!'',retorted Vegeta.
King Cold laughed and replied,''Even if you're the strongest now, none of you can defeat me!'',shouted King Cold. Vegeta was preparing to rush King Cold when someone cut part of King Cold's tail with a lightning fast slash.
''They may not be able to defeat you, but I can!'',shouted a voice. The man was 17 years old and had a face that looked strikingly similar to Vegeta's. He had a Capsule Corp jacket, with a logo and sword carrier sack. He also had lavender hair and blue eyes.
Trunks has appeared on the battlefield to win the day and save the future. ''Hey you, who are you?!'',asked Vegeta in pure unadulterated curiosity.
Trunks looked at his father for the first time in his life. He then hung his head down and replied,''I can't say''.
King Cold recovered from his pain and was livid that his tail was now half of what it used to be.''Brat, that was an unwise decision, now you will die for it'',shouted a livid King Cold.
Trunks narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at King Cold,''Well i'll tell you this, your witnessing another Super Saiyan'',whispered Trunks. Vegeta hear it and walked up to Trunks, putting his pointer finger on his chest, shoving him back.
''There is no way you can be a Super Saiyan, you faker!'',accused Vegeta with a judgement. Trunks just smirked and said,''Just watch the fire works'',calmly stated Trunks as he rose his power.
His hair started to rise and golden electricity danced all around as his aura turned golden. ''AAAAH!'',hollered Trunks as his power sky rocketed. Rocks began to crumble and fly all over the face from the power being generated from the boy.
His power had surpassed Gohan's and even Vegeta's and his power continued to rise. Vegeta looked shocked at being surpassed by not one, but two people that day. Trunks power finally topped out and his Super Saiyan aura plus the golden hair remained.
''For the sake of the future, I will end you!'',proclaimed Trunks. Trunks then checked his watch and muttered to himself,''Goku should arrive in 30 minutes so he can help me finish the job''.
Mean while in a Ginyu Force space pod:
Goku sat there thinking about what was going on at Earth. He sensed a huge Ki by the form of King Cold, trampling over smaller Ki's. He also picked up one new Ki which was second strongest only to King Cold.
''Hang on guys, I'm coming!'',stated Goku. He wished his pod would move faster, but it just wouldn't because it was moving at its top speed.
'Gohan, just what's going on down there',thought Goku to no one in particular.
Back to Earth:
King Cold was shocked but the shock was then replaced with seriousness. ''I see, so your the third Super Saiyan I've faced. Now tell me, what makes you think you can now challenge me?'',asked an intrigued King Cold.
''Because, I am stronger than the others'',smirked Trunks. Trunks then charged at King Cold, full speed. Vegeta charged as well to aid his unknown son. King Cold crossed his arms and was caught with a sharp blow to the stomach.
The blow made him spit out saliva as Trunks flew up. Behind him was Vegeta in blast position, firing off a white energy beam at King Cold.
King Cold was caught in the cross fire and was burned a little but mostly unharmed. King Cold charged through the smoke grabbing Vegeta's head and slamming him onto the ground.
Trunks from up in the sky, fired off a blast at King Cold getting his attention. ''Leave Vegeta alone!'',shouted Trunks from the sky. ''Why you...'',mumbled King Cold as he was beginning to get annoyed with him.
Trunks shot off at King Cold with a kick aimed at his face.
King Cold blocked it and created an epic shock wave which shattered many things surrounding them in the process. King Cold then used his other arm to swing fast enough to catch Trunks off guard.
The blow sent Trunks tumbling along the ground surface, and Cold jumped up and fired off a two blasts at Trunks. Trunks dodged the first by jumping out of the way, but another one caught Trunks.
The beam blew off Trunks jacket and sent him to the ground forming a giant crater. ''Had enough, kid'',taunted King Cold. Suddenly, a tug on his tail awakened his senses, as he was flung into a cliff by Vegeta.
''I don't know who you are, but we have to finish this'',said Vegeta to Trunks who just now got up. ''Agreed'',replied Trunks as both of them shot off at King Cold. King Cold bull rushed back to meet the father/son duo in high speed combat.
King Cold and Vegeta zipped to the sky's, leaving Trunks on the ground waiting to jump in. King Cold and Vegeta met fist to fist, and elbow to elbow. King Cold then vanished to behind Vegeta.
Vegeta turned around only to be met with a cut back fist to Vegeta's back. Vegeta fell forward and King Cold appeared in front of him. Trunks saw his opportunity to kill King Cold, so he flew up to above King Cold's head.
He drew his sword and swung it down upon King Cold's head. King Cold saw it just in time, and grabbed the sword with his bare hands.
The swords edge cut into King Cold's hands, drawing blood from his palms onto the sword. Trunks flared up his Super Saiyan aura and applied more pressure into it. ''You will not KILL ME!'',shouted King Cold as he flared up his aura and threw Trunks with his sword in hand, away.
Vegeta tried to catch him with a low punch to the stomach, but King Cold raised his knee up so he could block the blow. King Cold then pushed his put into Vegeta's stomach, making him cough blood and spit out saliva.
King Cold then raised his elbow and forced it down on Vegeta's back sending him tumbling face first into the ground.
Vegeta's face was burrowed in the ground along with the upper half of his body. Vegeta's golden glow disappeared and his Super Saiyan aura had faded. Vegeta pulled himself out and struggled to get up.
King Cold floated down to the ground and walked towards Vegeta. Trunks came out of debris in a surprise attack and managed to stab King Cold in the shoulder and swiping down, leaving a scar that will mark him forever.
King Cold was actually in true pain for the first time in the day. ''AAAAAAAAAAAUGHH!'',howled King Cold in pure pain from the large slash mark on his back. Trunks came forward to finish the job when King Cold turned around and blasted Trunks from point blank range.
The huge purple ball of ki drove Trunks into a series of rock formations and detonated it all. Trunks was charred from the impact of the explosion and was rendered bloody for it.
King Cold then turned towards Vegeta and charged up a beam powerful enough to wipe out the entire wasteland, not just Vegeta. ''You! You have been a thorn in my side every since we landed on this got damn rock! Now for killing Frieza and opposing me, you shall die!'',shouted King Cold as he charged up his blast to have even more power than needed.
''Die, fools!'',yelled King Cold as he fired off the red, blood colored beam to end off the Z-fighters on the ground. Trunks saw that Vegeta was the main target, so he did something stupid but brave.
He rushed out and jumped in front of the blast which was meant for the whole wasteland which was littered with craters and took it head on. Trunks just stood in front of Vegeta and took the majority of the blast for him.
The beam died out after one minute of being blocked by Trunks and Trunks fell to the ground with a torn up tank top and bloody body. He went unconscious and lost his Super Saiyan from being near dead.
Vegeta was knocked unconscious as well from the impact of the explosion. The Z-fighters were scattered across the wasteland and Gohan's tears were dried up as he was also knocked unconscious.
''Hah, I've finally won, now to make sure I have no more interference's I shall lay waste to this planet!'',shouted King Cold in glory.
Back in the space pod:
Goku's face was grim at the situation at hand. Everyone on Earth was down for the count and King Cold was still standing tall.
''Damnit!'',punched Goku as the space pod couldn't move any faster to hurry to Earth. Goku knew that he had the power to stop King Cold, now that he was tired and somewhat damaged from the fight.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. He would use Instant Transmission, which gives the user the ability to travel to anywhere as long as the place has someone with Ki on it.
Goku raised to fingers on his forehead and concentrated on Gohan's ki to get to Earth instantly.
He continued to concentrate until he could pick up Gohan's faint Ki and he locked on too it. After about a couple more seconds, Goku teleported to the location, leaving his pod to fly on its own.
Back on Earth:
Goku had finally appeared on the Earth and dropped kicked King Cold out of the sky. Goku, the sworn protector of the planet, had finally returned to save the day once more.
The blast that King Cold was generating had dissolved into air since Goku broke the concentration. Goku then flew down to check up on his son to see how he was doing.
''Psst, Gohan... Gohan wake up'',said Goku to his only son. Gohan eventually grunted and woke up, only to see his father standing over him. Goku smiled and watched as Gohan got tears into his eyes.
''DADDY!'',screamed in joy Gohan as he tackled Goku to the ground in joy. ''I thought you'd never show up!'',exclaimed a cheerful Gohan. Goku patted Gohan on the head as he was very proud of how powerful the boy had come.
Goku's face turned serious and as did Gohan's,''So, what happened?'',asked a curious Goku.
Gohan got angry just thinking about it and he said,''He did it, he killed Yamcha and Chiaotzu plus paralyze Krillin and beat the crap out of all of us!'',explained an angry Gohan.
Goku, feeling the boy's emotions, stood up and snarled with anger. Gohan also stood up and proclaimed,''Lets take down King Cold together!'',suggested an excited Gohan who felt ready for anything as he tried to power up.
However, a sharp, jolting pain in Gohan's right shoulder caused him to stop powering up and fall to the ground in pain. ''I'm.. sorry dad, I can' fight along side you'',complained Gohan.
''Don't worry Gohan, daddy can take care of King Cold now, but first let me see your senzu bean portion'',told Goku. Gohan was about to question how Gohan knew about the senzu bean portion he had, but gave it to him without question.
Goku took the bean and vanished. He reappeared in front of a heavily damaged Trunks. ''Goku knelt down and opened Trunks mouth. ''I don't know who you are, but you helped buy time for me to get here, and I thank you for it'',silently thanked Goku.
He popped the bean in his mouth and made him swallow it. Instantly, most of his damage disappeared, but some of it remained as he was only given a portion of the senzu beans healing properties.
Goku then turned around to look face to face with King Cold. ''Who exactly are you!?'',questioned the tired and battle damaged King Cold.
''I am the man who'll DEFEAT YOU!'',heroically yelled Goku as he grunted and transformed into a Super Saiyan right off the bat. Goku was the strongest person that has ever faced King Cold.
''Many have said that and fallen, that line shall be your last!'',yelled King cold as well and both titans met with an Earth shattering blow.
King Cold vanished and Goku vanished behind him, effectively elbowing him in the back, pushing him forward. Goku reappeared in front of King Cold and gave him a jaw shattering kick to the jaw.
''That was for YAMCHA!'',shouted Goku as King Cold backed up with the pain of his jaw.
Goku zipped behind King Colds head and kicked it very hard sending him crashing over a bunch of rock formations. King Cold picked himself up and was met with the hardest blow to the gut he had ever experienced.
''That was for CHIAOTZU!'',hollered Goku as the blow caused King Cold to spit out and slobber purple blood as a result. Goku then low kicked King Cold, sweeping King Colds legs from under him and kneeing him in the back sending him upwards.
Goku flew up above King Cold and dropped kicked straight in the face, shattering his nose in the process. ''That was for KRILLINS BODY!'',yelled a furious Goku.
Goku rammed his elbow into a falling King Cold making his momentum even faster, thus making his impact painful. King cold hit the ground creating a strom of debris and dust all over the place.
''How does it feel King Cold, to be punished for your evil deeds'',asked Goku.
King Cold got up and fired a death beam at Goku while he was talking. ''Saiyan, I'm not dead yet!'',exclaimed King Cold.
Goku easily deflected the weak beam and rammed his fist deep in King Cold's stomach. ''That was very rude'',commented Goku as he then kicked King Cold in the jaw, further corrupting it.
Goku had then elbowed King Cold super fast in the face, making blood erupt and leak from his face bruise. King Cold was knocked backed up into a corner and looking terrified.
King Cold laughed and coughed at the same time by saying,''You have the ability to put me down, but can you save your friends?'',questioned King cold as he fired two beams at Gohan and Vegeta.
Goku easily moved and deflected one beam into another causing them both to explode simultaneously. King Cold used that time to grab Tien and put a hand near his head.
''If you move, i'll kill him before you reach me, so whats your choice, huh?'',asked King Cold. Goku thought about it and he knew he couldn't have Tien dying again so he dropped his Super Saiyan form.
King Cold smiled deviously and cracked Tien's neck, killing him for the second time. Goku instantly turned Super Saiyan and went beyond angry. He became FURIOUS at King Cold.
Goku rocketed at speeds unseen before and rocketed his fist so fast and hard into King Cold's face that the blow sent him straight into the sky. King Cold barreled through the sky and knew that the closing of the battle was at hand.
''If I die, I will not die without a fight!'',shouted King cold as he charged up the most powerful Super Nova of all time yet.
Goku's power skyrocketed from the anger as he charged the Kamehameha wave. ''KAAAAAA...'',the blue orb started to form. ''MEEEEE...'',the blue orb started to solidify. ''HAAAAAAA...'',the orb expanded in size. ''MEEEEEE...'',the orb stopped growing at a decent size and was preparing to be fired.
''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'' Screamed Goku as he fired of the azure beam. The beam tore through everything in its path onto the Super Nova. The Super Nova and the Kamehameha wave met in clash to decide the fate of Earth.
The struggle was a stalemate with neither giving an inch in the struggle. Goku knew that if that kept up, the two ki blasts would destroy everything and kill everyone on the planet.
Suddenly, everyone who could get up, including Gohan did and they fired their own beams to help finish off King Cold. ''Galick Gun!'' Shouted Vegeta as he fired off his purple beam.
''Destructive wave!'' Shouted Piccolo as he added his beam too. ''Time to end this once and for all! Burning Flash!'',shouted Trunks as he added his beam to the struggle. Gohan limped up and charged up his one handed balst to finish King Cold off.
''Daisenko-HA!'' Shouted Gohan as he fired off his one handed navy beam to finally shatter the Super Nova. ''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'',screamed King Cold, but it was too late as he was already on course for the Sun.
''Curse You Saiyans!'',King Colds final words were before he was evaporated into nothing.
The Earth was finally at peace once again now that King Cold was finally defeated. The whole universe was now free of the Cold family control and the Super Saiyans have won the day, but not without casualties.
Thanks for reading and this Chapter finally wraps up the Prelude Saga. All in all, this was probably my favorite chapter so far because it had a mixture of touchy moments with 80% action and conflicts. Also, lately I've been having some pretty insane ideas pop into my head surrounding Trunks. In the review section tell me, should Trunks stay in his timeline forever or come back after Cell for the Buu Saga? Tell me what you think as I want to do the second option. Also any ideas, advice, constructive criticism or requests are acceptable. Tell me what you think and stay tuned for the next chapter which will be uploaded whenever I have the drive to make it.
Also, the reason why I had King cold be defeated by Goku was because all of the damage and fatigue that King Cold endured made his power drop. Plus, Goku was angry and his power got a boost so Goku defeated King Cold. The others did the ground work of the job of finishing off King Cold though.
Spoiler Alert: The next few chapters leading up to the start of the Android Saga will be extra so requests will be held in that time period (as long as it is doable and not too far fetched).
