Chapter 3
Chapter Three-
Naruto and Android 18 met fists each having their own smirk. Eighteen suddenly appeared behind Naruto and was about to knock him down but he managed to create a clone that kicked her away.
'I'm not sure if she can absorb energy like Gero and the fat one did. But I'll make sure.' Naruto thought as he teleported in front of Eighteen. The female android surprised him by launching a Ki blast him he knocked out of the way but was unprepared for the knee that bashed his face in and sent him crashing through pillars of rock.
"If that's it, you're weaker than I expected." Eighteen grumbled earning a chuckle. Eighteen looked surprised before she noticed she was surrounded by clones. "So you can make many copies of yourself big whoop." Naruto remained silent till she realized that the area was filled with clones. "How is that possible?" Eighteen stammered.
"I no longer wonder why Miya is so scared of you. You're pretty hot and strong. That knee nearly broke my nose." Naruto said rubbing his nose with a small smirk.
"It doesn't matter how many you can make because I can destroy them all!" Eighteen sneered as she burst into the air. Naruto narrowed his eyes giving a nod.
"Ka-me…" The clones chanted forming blue energy, "Ha-me…" They continued. Eighteen noticed what they were doing and was stunned.
'So they aren't illusions? They're real breathing clones? Who is this guy?' Eighteen thought, honestly surprised.
"HAAA!" They yelled shooting their respective attacks at her.
"I can't knock them all away." She muttered before channeling energy right before the ray beams came. There was an explosion in the air after the Kamehameha's struck her. Naruto watched with calculating eyes as his clones dispelled. After the dust faded there was Eighteen in a green barrier.
"So that's how she survived." Naruto muttered to himself.
'This guy is no joke. If I'm not careful he may kill me.' Eighteen thought before launching a barrage of pink blasts at him. Naruto dodged or deflected them as he kept teleporting to Eighteen who fired more as he got closer. Suddenly Naruto was upon her with his fist cocked back. She looked with wide eyes and blocked his punch but it hurt like hell. Suddenly he flipped behind her and used a chakra push to make her fly away.
Eighteen was now getting frustrated and flew at Naruto with fast speed. Naruto widened his eyes before they started going at it in the sky. While they were fighting Naruto was letting out grunts while his opponent was silent and striking him. He struck with a quick punch and roundhouse kick and then followed with a double axe handle only to be stopped by an elbow to the gut. He suddenly vanished and reappeared behind her launching a kick from her blind spot.
She turned at the last second and grabbed his leg and spun and threw him. Naruto caught himself in mid air as Eighteen charged after him throwing a punch, which passed right through an afterimage. She then gracefully dodged a kick from above her and landed a punch to Naruto's head that send him flying. He caught himself in midair again before he could smash into the side of the mountain.
'Damn that hurt. She's no pushover. I haven't had a good fight in forever! Time to go super.' Naruto thought with a smirk as he increased his power becoming a full powered Super Saiyan. "Not even close to being finished." With that he appeared above Eighteen, "Leaf Hurricane!" Naruto yelled as he spun and kicked her repeatedly only for her to block. Naruto then transported behind her. "Leaf whirlwind!" He said as he swiped her under making her fall back. But before she could really fall Naruto spun his leg back and delivered an axe kick to her stomach making her cough in pain and go crashing to the ground. "Spiral wave!" Naruto yelled shooting his attack in her direction.
Eighteen was currently standing up but heard his yell and looked to see the blast coming for her. So she tried flying away but the blast was to fast and made contact with the ground causing her to be caught in the explosion. Naruto stared impassively as the dust settled. He had no clue if he beat her or not sense he couldn't sense her Ki. But he got his answer when a pink ray beam shot at him he knocked it away and once again got kneed in the face. Naruto went flying and crashed against a mountain with his face being red. "God damn it I fall for it every time." Naruto grumbled but saw Eighteen's condition.
Her jacket was gone while her left sleeve was torn and a piece of her shirt was torn letting him see a piece of her stomach. Not to mention she had scratches and bruises and smudges on her. "Your really stupid hunh?" Eighteen smirked.
"Shut it! I do that on instinct." Naruto responded while getting back up and dusted himself off. "Ready for round 2?" He offered. Eighteen smirked once more and got into a stance. "Good," Naruto said and without hand signs two thousand Naruto clones were around her, prepared to fight. She grunted in annoyance as she lost track of the real Naruto.
In a blur they all came at her while she was on the defensive. They attacked her at all different angles making it a little difficult. Somehow she managed to dodge or block every attack until she found an opening and began a counter assault, destroying clones left and right. After getting annoyed at how tedious it was becoming she released a massive wave of energy around her destroyed all the clones. As the smoke dissipated she scanned around to find him nowhere to be seen. From above her, a yellow energy wave came at her, "Shit." She muttered before dodging it. Naruto cursed as she was right behind him now with her arms crossed.
"I'll admit you are strong. But your body will tire out while mine won't." She smirked.
"Don't worry about me Eighteen, I can go all day." Naruto responded looking at her with a determined smirk.
"Really then maybe we should settle this somewhere else, in another fashion." She offered suggestively. Naruto raised a brow before he gave a smirk of his own.
"Hm maybe."
"Never mind." She said making his eye twitch.
"That's mean. Playing with someone's emotions." Naruto said before he charged at her. She smirked and charged back.
Round 3 has started.
Vegeta and Seventeen were in the heat of battle while the others watched him. Sixteen glanced at the Z-fighters whose eyes were on the battle. Not seeing a threat he turned back to the battle.
They all heard a boom and looked to where Naruto was. Miya wanted to jet off to help but stopped herself, "He's fine Miya. Your dad is a Super Saiyan, he can handle himself." She told herself quietly. Her attention was turned back to Vegeta who gave Seventeen a three punch combo and a kick which slammed him into the wall.
"Man look at Vegeta he's killing him." Krillin commented.
"I guess." Miya muttered not really impressed.
"What's this Vegeta? Bringing reinforcements?" Seventeen asked glancing at the others. Vegeta didn't even look towards the group as he gave a snort with a sneer.
"Please. They're just here to watch. I am a Saiyan elite who has become a Super Saiyan. I am the strongest being in the universe. And I will not be denied my place!" Vegeta proclaimed before charging at the android.
After the two began exchanging blows once again it became clear that the tables had now turned with Vegeta barely able to keep up. Seventeen shrugged off his blows like they were nothing, but most of the time Vegeta was barely able to touch him. "This isn't working!" yelled Gohan. "He's waiting for Vegeta to burn through his energy before retaliating!"
"He's right, with every move Vegeta loses power while the android stays strong." added Piccolo.
"Vegeta! Let us help you!" Gohan called, wanting to at least try.
Vegeta stood from a blow Seventeen landed on him. "Silence boy! I don't want your help! A true warrior fights alone!" gasped Vegeta.
Seventeen turned to face them before speaking, "You really don't get it. It wouldn't matter if all you ganged up on me at once! You stand no chance! We androids are now the superior..."
"Hey Android!" Seventeen turned to look at Vegeta only to be nailed with a blast of energy. "Never turn your back on Vegeta, especially now that I'm a Super Saiyan. You never know what kind of surprise I have in store for you," Vegeta advised with a grin. "Now feel the power of a true Super Saiyan!" yelled Vegeta as he launched another massive energy blast at the Android. The smoke cleared to reveal Seventeen standing there with his hand outstretched in front of him smoking with a smirk on his face.
"So, it's going to be that kind of fight? Well then I have few tricks up my sleeve as well." Seventeen pointed his index finger at Vegeta and fired a narrow energy beam right through his left shoulder.
"AAAAAAAAHH!" screamed Vegeta in pain grasping his arm.
"What's the matter? Not enjoying my little surprise?" Seventeen quickly appeared behind the Saiyan and kicks him in the back sending him face down into the ground. He proceeds to stomp on his injured shoulder enjoying the Saiyan prince's screams of pain. "I'm only doing this for your own good, teaching you some humility. For the prince of about three people you have way too much arrogance." mocked Seventeen as Vegeta soon lost his golden glow and his hair turned back to black.
Miya gritted her teeth in anger. She wouldn't let History repeat it's self even though it was already messed up. "NO! Not again!" Miya yelled as she blasted off as a Super Saiyan. As she rushed at Seventeen, she unsheathed his sword aiming for the androids head but without even turning around Seventeen blocked and shattered the blade. "N-no w-way." Miya stammered. "You bastard! That was my dads!"
"I told you not to interfere. I guess I can't play around anymore if this is going to be that kind of fight." The android responded before suddenly reappearing inside Miya's guard and kneeing her in the gut. The Super Saiyan from the future doubled over in pain before dropping her transformation and falling to the ground unconscious. "You were no fun, Vegeta lasted much longer." commented a disappointed Seventeen. "Well that and I'm using more power."
The other Z-fighters circled around Seventeen while he smirked at them. Tien and Piccolo charge at the android giving him a barrage of combo's but the android easily dodged them all. "Move! Masenko-ha!" Gohan yelled shooting the blast at Seventeen who teleported behind the boy and tried knocking him out but Gohan appeared behind Seventeen in an instant, kicking his head so he was sent flying.
"Wow that was some kick." Krillin praised but Gohan frowned as he shook his head.
"It wasn't good enough. His head should have been knocked off." Gohan glared at the android who was approaching.
"Hey Sixteen, mind helping me out here?" Seventeen requested to the big Android who hadn't moved from his spot, much to Seventeen's annoyance.
"Mission, Kill Goku. Goku is not among them." Sixteen responded. Seventeen rolled his eyes before they settled on the Z-fighters.
"Fine then. I'll handle them my self." Seventeen smirked about to charge when there was a big explosion coming from Naruto's direction. "What the hell was that?" he asked while everyone else was wondering the same thing. Before they knew it Naruto came crashing down next to Miya and Vegeta.
"Ow."
"Sensei? What happened?" Gohan asked confused.
"Well I sorta used a Super Kamehameha to blast myself out of there and it back fired. I don't know if Eighteen lived or not." Naruto informed as he began to stand up before noticing Seventeen. "You guys haven't killed him yet?"
"Well no. Vegeta wanted to have his moment and got his ass handed to him." Gohan answered. Naruto nodded then looked around till he saw a knocked out Miya.
"What happened?"
Krillin and Tien along with Piccolo were taken back by his tone of voice. But Gohan knew that voice. His father used the same tone whenever he was hurt. So he explained that Miya tried saving Vegeta but got her sword broken and was knocked out. "I see, well then." Naruto muttered quietly, glancing at a quiet smirking Seventeen. His eyes however went to the beautiful blond who came into sight.
"Our fight isn't finished yet." Eighteen said as she flew down nearly unharmed. Naruto groaned in annoyance.
"Can't you just stay down? Fine. I'll take you both on." Naruto shrugged as he took a deep breath.
"Really? What makes you think you can handle us?" Seventeen sneered while Eighteen narrowed her eyes, knowing it was not wise to underestimate this one. The blond simply smirked, as his already teal eyes then gained a mischievous glint.
"Just give me a minute," he said, causing Gohan to get the hint and have everyone back up a bit. Gold energy surrounded Naruto and continued to grow as his power level rose higher and higher. He grit his teeth as his veins were beginning to bulge while his muscles flexed. The ground started to shake, while everyone besides Gohan looked on in wonder. "Graaah!" Naruto yelled as his already golden hair flashed just as the sky started to get cloudy and winds began to pick up violently.
'Naruto! Stop! If you do this the whole earth might be destroyed!'
'Hurt Miya, time for payback!' Naruto responded mentally to King Kai, continuing to channel his energy. Everyone was muttering amongst themselves at how unreal this was! They were then confused when his hair started to grow, his power continuing to sky rocket. Thunder clapped while lightning flashed, the whole area now surrounded in darkness with Naruto's energy being the only source of light.
Black lightning buzzed around his body constantly as he continued charging, "YAAAAHH!" Naruto's screams began louder, as the hair on his eye brows disappeared while his hair continued to grow and grow. Naruto then stopped for a second, as he looked up to the sky and his power exploded. It was then they that Naruto's golden color started to turn a bit green while his pupils began to disappear and he grew in size and muscle mass.
Naruto now stood at 6'9 with much larger muscle build, but not in a hulkish way, however he was still able to keep that lean look. The man's skin also became a bit pale, but not so much. His hair was not as messy but it was more spiky and longer, now stopping at his calves. Two bangs were still present, hanging over his pupiless eyes. His aura had a golden outer layer and a blood red inner layer. His face was set into an impassive expression while lightning constantly sparked around his body.
"It may be a bit of Overkill in this situation, but this is what I call, Super Saiyan Three," Naruto informed stoically. Krillin could only stutter it out while Piccolo had a look of utter shock on his face. Gohan had a grin on his face, as he soaked in the power his teacher radiated.
"So what, your hair has grown and you have no eye brows, big whoop," Seventeen scoffed though he was quite nervous. Eighteen was gazing at Naruto warily, as she herself could tell that this guy was way out of their league. "I never run out of energy, your power is nothing compared to mine," Seventeen smirked.
"You hurt my daughter, now I have to kill you."
Sixteen was analyzing Naruto and was shocked his power level was unknown. "Seventeen, Eighteen; I advise you not to engage this man! He is way beyond our level!" Sixteen warned causing Seventeen to roll his eyes. Naruto shocked Seventeen by appearing behind him, his arm ready to knock off the android's head.
"Where are you looking?" he questioned before hitting the android away, turning him to a black blur due to flying so fast. Eighteen was afraid now. This guy was holding back the whole time during their fight! "I think you should take Sixteen's advise Eighteen. I wouldn't want to hurt you too much," Naruto smirked darkly, as he then raised a arm to block Seventeen's kick.
"That hurt you bastard!" Seventeen yelled as he gave a barrage of kicks at Naruto's arm. The Saiyan just scoffed before grabbing Seventeen's ankle and threw him to the ground. The robot teen went crashing face first into the ground. Naruto stared impassively before pointing his open palm at Seventeen. A black orb buzzed alive.
"Imari." Naruto said as the orb shot from his hand as a ray beam.
Eighteen's eyes widened as she saw her brother about to get vaporized. Sixteen grimaced before charging at Naruto surprising the Saiyan and knocking him off course causing the blast to move else where. Naruto skidded to the ground and glared at Sixteen just as the energy exploded, causing the entire earth to shake. He took a step and regretted it as he coughed up blood.
"Sensei?" Gohan called as blood spilled from Naruto's mouth. Before they knew it Naruto was on his knees coughing up globs of blood. His hair turned back to normal after a few seconds as he coughed up more. Everyone suddenly rushed over to him, and Naruto panted as he stopped coughing for a moment. He then gripped his sides, wondering what this intense pain was. Super Saiyan three has never done this before, it would only tire him out, so…
"W-what the fuck?" Naruto demanded then his eyes widened as he coughed more, his eyes dazed as his ears went numb along with his limbs. The last thing he heard was Gohan's voice, then his world went black. While they were distracted, Sixteen grabbed Seventeen and he along with Eighteen quickly flew off for cover.
"Hey someone give him a senzu bean!" Gohan barked and Krillin pulled them out, giving Naruto two. Gohan made his teacher chew but he didn't wake up, Miya however did. She was dazed, wondering what happened then noticed the Z-fighters crowded around someone. Narrowing her eyes, she saw that it was her father and she rushed over to him.
"Daddy! What happened?! Did Eighteen do this?!" she demanded as she looked over her father then around for the androids who were gone.
"No, he was just in his new Super Saiyan mode, and he coughed up blood," Gohan explained, completely confused. Miya looked confused and she remembered what her mother had told him, when she asked how her father had lost to the androids. After all, next to Goku, Naruto was the strongest Saiyan there was, so it made no sense how he would fall to some androids. So she told him that he was suffering from an unknown disease that was way different and more violent than Goku's, having something to do with his DNA.
"It's the disease!" Miya spoke up, gaining their attention. "Mom said daddy died from some strange disease that was unheard of, but it had something to do with his DNA, because even Gohan had it, but it was dormant!" Miya explained. "She said the disease made him really weak, which gave Eighteen the advantage to kill him!"
"Well shit," Vegeta grumbled, causing attention to be on him as he held his wounded shoulder, leaning against the wall. "He has the Saiyan Virus. My father told me of a deadly virus that was an epidemic back before I was born. It affected a number of Saiyans, and there was no immediate cure," Vegeta explained. "The disease kills them slowly by shutting down all of the main organs and sapping energy. It seems the virus attacked his spleen first. If you give him enough of those beans, it will nullify it, but he will die soon,"
"Well how the hell do we stop it?!" Gohan demanded. "I refuse to go to Bulma and tell her that he will die and there is no cure! You just said there was no immediate cure, but there is a cure! What is it?!" Gohan questioned with Vegeta scowling.
"A full moon. When a Saiyan transforms any diseases, Ailments, or Viruses are wiped clean from their system. The only way form him to be cured is seeing a Full moon and transforming." Vegeta explained. The Z-fighters were gonna sigh but Vegeta stopped them. "But! The namek had to go on and blow up the damn moon before Nappa and I came to earth. I had to make an artificial moon just to turn great ape myself." Vegeta reminded with a scowl.
Piccolo looked away a little embarrassed. "It doesn't matter anyway. Even if the moon was here we would have to wait another month till a Full moon does happen." Gohan said getting grim looks from Naruto's friends.
"Then how do we save Naruto?" Krillin wondered.
"If you feed him those beans of yours he will be fine but he would be asleep." Vegeta informed, with a scowl as he gazed at Naruto. He saw the new transformation and it pissed him off royally. But that power…he could only assume one thing and he really didn't want to admit it.
"Well sitting out here isn't gonna help him. We need to get him home." Krillin said getting nods from the others.
"I'm leaving." Vegeta grumbled before blasting off. Miya and Piccolo hefted Naruto onto their shoulders before they blasted off for Naruto's home with the others behind them. On the way Piccolo was thinking.
'Naruto had such power. If he was still here with Goku those androids wouldn't stand a chance. But they are both out of commission,' He then glanced to Miya and Gohan. 'And the only Super Saiyans to willingly fight with us and not give problems are Gohan and Miya. But Gohan is not strong enough neither is Miya, from seeing the way Seventeen handled her,' he then gave a growl to himself. 'Meaning I will need to gain new power also. It seems I have a meeting with Kami,'
He then glanced at the unconscious Naruto, and gave a shiver from the memory the power he had been emitting. The Z-fighters landed on Naruto's porch and walked inside to see Bulma was in the kitchen while the baby Miya was sleeping on the couch. Bulma came from the kitchen to see what was going on and saw Naruto's condition.
Her eyes became worried as she followed Miya and Piccolo up stairs. "What happened?" Bulma questioned as they laid Naruto on the bed. Gohan gave a frown as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Sensei was kicking ass, then he started coughing up blood before he passed out," Gohan told her as she narrowed her eyes. "Vegeta told us Naruto has a disease that Saiyan's have, concerning their DNA. Only cure is him seeing a full moon, but we don't have a moon," he grumbled.
"So what the hell do we do?!" Bulma demanded. If there was no moon, how the hell was her husband going to get better? He wasn't going to die was he?! Wait! If he died, they could wish him back with the dragon balls! Maybe there was still hope as long as Piccolo did not die! Said Namekian gained a frown as he crossed his arms and gazed at the sleeping blond.
"We wait."
