Chapter 17: The Final Bout Of Captain Ginyu. The Fall Of The Ginyu Force.
"You're picking up on this fast, Jeice." Ginyu said, "But it's still not there yet. You're not holding it long enough and letting your energy spike. Any experienced warrior could pick up on those bursts from miles away."
"I'm really tryin' 'ere, Captain," Jeice replied, "but not all of us are as gifted and talented as you are."
"But that doesn't mean you can't be." Ginyu said, "As long as you continue to push yourself, you can achieve almost anything."
"Thanks, Captain." Jeice said.
"You're quite welcome." Ginyu said, "Now continue to practice hiding your energy until we get to the ship."
Ginyu could feel the gaps of time between Jeice's energy spikes getting longer as the alien began to get a grip on the technique.
Before long, the two arrived at the ship to find the Earthlings digging up the Dragon Balls.
"Blast." Ginyu said, "How could they have found them? You sure you buried them deep enough?"
"Sure as I can be, Captain." Jeice replied.
"Well, the spot clearly wasn't hidden well enough." Ginyu grumbled, "It doesn't matter now. Hide your energy and get out of sight."
Jeice flew down to hide beneath the ship as Ginyu landed next to the Dragon Balls. The Earthlings had ran off before he could get to them, leaving the Dragon Balls behind.
"It's okay, you two." Ginyu-Goku said, "You can come on out."
Two heads peered over a nearby rock, awed expressions covering their faces.
"Goku?" Krillin asked.
"Dad?" Gohan asked. He leaped over the rock and ran for his father, wrapping his arms around him. "What happened to you?"
Goku's body was extremely beat up from its fight with Ginyu, his shoulder swollen in a mass of black, blue, and purple. "It's a long story." Ginyu-Goku said, "But it looks like you two are alright.
"Yeah. It wasn't even a challenge." Krillin said, "When we got here, there was nobody around. Either they all ran off or-"
"Vegeta got to them first." Ginyu-Goku finished.
"Yeah." Krillin said, "But we haven't seen him anywhere, nor have we sensed him. He must've not been able to find the Dragon Balls and went to look somewhere else."
"Well, he'll be back soon enough." Ginyu-Goku said.
"Oh, definetly." Krillin chuckled, "But enough about our situation. What happened to you? And what about those Ginyu losers?"
"They were a real challenge." Ginyu-Goku said, "I'm lucky I was able to even beat that purple one. He really gave me a thrashing. Once I was done with him, though, it was a cake walk beating the other guy."
This can't be right. Vegeta thought. There's no way Kakarot could've have beaten BOTH of them. Jeice would've easily finished him off after he fought Ginyu. But maybe... Vegeta shot up with a realization. How could I forget? That Kaio-something trick he used against me when we fought back on Earth. He could've easily beaten those two if he pulled that against them. Either that, or he really is the legendary Super Saiyan. Vegeta crossed his arms and leaned against the ship's leg. Nah.
The Saiyan began trying to sense Goku's energy but came up with nothing. That's odd. Why can't I sense Kakarot's energy? I'd understand if we was to trying to hide it against an enemy, but who's around that Kakarot would need to hide it?
Goku sat up in the dirt and rubbed his head. "What happened?" He groaned. "Last thing I remember is eating dirt."
He got to his feet and looked around before a sharp pain filled his chest. He clutched at his chest as he staggered onto one knee in pain.
"Now I remember." The Saiyan groaned, "I was fighting that purple guy when he switched bodies with me." He spit out a little dirt mixed with blood onto the ground. "Did he have to go and slam me into the dirt, too?"
Goku got to his feet and began to sense for energy. He could sense what he guessed was Frieza's energy off somewhere clashing with a Namekian power signature.
"But where are those two Ginyu guys?" He asked himself, "Well, if I was them, I'd probably go after Vegeta or Krillin and Gohan. And they're all undoubtedly at Frieza's ship by now."
He took into the air and began flying as fast as he could towards where he thought Frieza's ship was. "Please make it on time." Goku pleaded with himself.
"So if you two found the Dragon Balls, why haven't you made a wish?" Ginyu-Goku asked.
"Well, we tried," Gohan replied, "but I think the password for them must be different than the one for Earth's set."
"So I guess we're gonna need a Namekian?" Ginyu-Goku said.
"Yeah." Krillin said, "And I'm not so keen on meeting up with that Frieza guy. Not with you in that condition at least."
"Fair point." Ginyu-Goku said.
Jeice watched in increasing anxiety as the conversation between Ginyu and the Earthlings dragged on. What's taking you so long, Captain? Jeice thought. Just kill them and we can move on to Vegeta.
Suddenly, Jeice felt an odd presence off into the sky. It almost like he was being watched. He looked towards where he felt it coming from and saw Ginyu flying towards them.
Oh crap. He thought. I can't have him interfering with the Captain.
He charged up a ki blast and aimed at Goku-Ginyu. This'll surely take care of you.
Before he could fire the blast, he heard a familiar voice behind him that sent a chill down his spine.
"I knew something was off about Kakarot." Vegeta said, "But now you're trying to shoot down your own captain? I feel like I'm missing something important."
Jeice spun around to face the Saiyan prince but came to face no one. As he turned back around to face Goku, Vegeta appeared right in his face, a ball of energy aimed at his chest.
"Hi there." He said. He punched Jeice in the nose and sent him stumbling backwards, followed by a blast of energy to send him flying towards the lake.
Ginyu and the Earthlings turned as they heard a blast of energy from under the ship, followed by tons of water getting splashed into the air.
"What?!" Ginyu-Goku exclaimed. He noticed last second a purple ball of energy came flying towards and narrowly dodged out of its path. He looked up and saw his old body flying above them, his arm outstretched with smoke coming from his hand.
"Goku, I thought you said you finished those two?" Krillin asked.
"I thought I did." Ginyu-Goku said, "He must've pulled some trick and managed to survive."
"Can't you do something about him now?" Gohan asked.
"Not in this condition. I mean, just look at my shoulder." Ginyu-Goku said, "He's weakened, though. Just take a look at him."
The two took a close look at the Captain, and, sure enough, his body could've possibly been in a worse shape than Goku's.
"I'm sure you two could beat him if you worked together." Ginyu-Goku said.
"I guess you're right." Krillin said, taking a stance as Gohan followed his lead, "Let's do this, Gohan."
"Right." Gohan said.
The two leaped into action and began a dual assault of quick attacks aimed at the Captain.
Goku-Ginyu tried his hardest to block and dodge the attacks coming at him but could feel himself getting overpowered. "Quit it, you two." He said, "I don't want to fight you."
"We're not stupid enough to fall for that." Krillin said, "You'd kill us the moment we turned our backs."
Goku-Ginyu began taking heavy damage from the two and was beginning to lose the fight.
"Stop this now." He said.
"Never!" Gohan yelled, "Not after what you did to my dad!"
Goku-Ginyu knew he was going to lose. It was inevitable. In one last attempt to stop them, he tried calling out.
"GOHAN! KRILLIN!" He yelled, "CUT IT OUT!"
Gohan faltered and came to a stop, causing Krillin to quit fighting too. "Why'd you stop fighting, kid?" He asked.
"How'd he know our names?" Gohan asked.
"What?" Krillin asked back.
"Krillin, when did he ever hear our names?" Gohan asked, "Can you name one instance?"
Krillin thought on it for a bit before turning to face the kid. "Now that you mention, I can't think of anything." He said.
"So how'd he know?" Gohan asked.
"Because it's me guys." Goku-Ginyu said, "It's Goku."
Gohan and Krillin's eyes went wide in realization and joy before Ginyu's face turned serious and pushed the two behind him.
"GET BACK!" He yelled as he took a blast full force, a large cloud of smoke encasing the three.
Ginyu-Goku watched as Goku-Ginyu fell to the ground from the smoke and landed with a thud. He approached the wounded Saiyan and held a ball of energy over him.
"Ya know, I thought those two would've dealt with you for me." He said, "But they're not members of the Ginyu Force, so how could I expect them to do what I want?"
Ginyu felt two pairs of feet land on his chest as Gohan and Krillin came flying in and kicked him away from Goku and sent him crashing into a rock. "You okay there, Goku?" Krillin asked.
"Could be better." He laughingly groaned, "I think you guys might have to take this one for me."
"Did you hit your head in that fall?" Krillin asked, "We don't stand a chance against this guy."
"Listen, guys." Goku-Ginyu said, "If there's one thing I've noticed during my time spent in this body, it's that it's difficult to control my energy. So if I'm having this problem, he should be having the same one."
"That makes sense." Gohan said, "Let's try it, Krillin."
"Okay." The monk replied.
Ginyu-Goku exploded away the rubble he was trapped beneath while his aura violently flared around him. "So you want to play too?" He asked, "So be it."
He charged for the two while they charged at him. Krillin disappeared from his sight and reappeared behind him and struck him in the back, sending him flying into Gohan, who kicked him into the air.
"Goku may be right." Krillin said, "I think we might be able to beat this guy."
"Not so fast, you runts!" Ginyu yelled, stopping him self midair. He let aura flare as he began exerting energy and raising his power. "I'm no one-trick pony." He said, "The Captain of the universe's greatest fighting squad should know more than just one secret."
He appeared beside the two and swatted them to the ground.
"You see," Ginyu began, "I'm not just able to switch bodies with someone, but I can slightly raise my power level from time to time. The only downsides are how little I can get with such a long cool down."
Gohan and Krillin got back to their feet and launched back at Ginyu, who put up a good fight for the two of them.
"Why don't you just give up already?" Ginyu laughed, "You clearly stand no match against me."
He hit both of them hard into the ground with a loud thud.
"The show's over, boys." Ginyu said.
Krillin got to his feet followed by Gohan, a clear aura whipping up his hair.
"Just sit this one out, Krillin." Gohan said, "I can handle this."
"Are you sure, Gohan?" Krillin asked.
"Positive." Gohan said.
The half-Saiyan charged at Ginyu and put up a better fight than him and Krillin combined did before. The captain could do nothing but block the relentless pressure from Gohan's attacks.
"How is this possible?!" He exclaimed.
"Same as you." Gohan said, "I've got a few secrets of my own."
He slammed down hard on Ginyu's head and sent him slamming into Frieza's ship, a dent appearing beneath him as he jolted back into the air.
Ginyu got to one knee and wiped blood from his chin as he looked up at the half-Saiyan.
"You dare to make a fool of the great Captain Ginyu?!" He yelled as he fired a ki blast at Gohan.
Gohan crossed his arms and took the blast, a cloud of smoke appearing in front of him.
"You think some flimsy blast could- huh?" Gohan said as the smoke began to clear, revealing Ginyu nowhere to be found.
The half-Saiyan reacted too late and spun to face Ginyu, who grabbed the kanji on his gi. He blasted Gohan towards with his free hand, ripping the kanji off of the cloth.
Ginyu landed in front of Gohan and held Kanji out in his open palm. "Everything has a meaning kid." Ginyu said, "So what's this one mean to you?"
Gohan watched in horror as Ginyu blasted the kanji to ash and let it fall from his hand in front of Gohan.
"And to think that could've been you." Ginyu said, "I've got other business to attend to."
He kicked Gohan onto his back and walked over to Goku, who couldn't even try to struggle away from Ginyu.
"Now I get finish what I started." He said, a blast energy aimed for his head.
Another ki blast came from his side and knocked him away.
"Again?" Ginyu asked, turning to see Krillin with his arm outstretched, "Seriously? Guess I have to deal with the little fellows before I can get to the big boss."
He charged at Krillin but couldn't reach him as Gohan rushed in and delivered a solid punch right to Ginyu's temple, knocking him away.
Ginyu turned to look at Gohan, who's face was twisted in rage.
"Don't try anything stupid." The half-Saiyan said through gritted teeth.
"We all know what I could do to you, kid." Ginyu said, "Though, I don't mind teaching you that lesson again."
Ginyu charged for Gohan as the half-Saiyan let out a low yell. Before the captain could touch him, Gohan released all of that energy and blasted him away. Everyone on the field could sense a tremendous spike in Gohan's energy as a white aura flared violently around him.
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!" He yelled as he charged at Ginyu.
The captain had no time to react as Gohan kicked him high into the air then began knocking him back and forth very quickly. The half-Saiyan eventually stopped knocking him around and launched him higher into the air.
Ginyu managed to stop himself as Gohan fired off a barrage of ki blasts at him. He took them head on as a large smoke cloud began to form.
When the smoke cleared, Ginyu still stood there, except with a pained expression as a red aura surrounded his body.
"Well, this is new," Ginyu said, "yet all too familiar. What did he say this was called again? The 'Kaioken'?"
"No." Gohan said, "How can you-?"
"I'm just as astounded as you, kid." Ginyu said, "Guess this body finally understands who owns it now."
He appeared in front of Gohan and grabbed his collar. The captain began punching and kicking the half-Saiyan all over, dealing an immense amount of damage and almost brought him to Goku's state.
"How does it feel, kid?" Ginyu said, "To be utterly hopeless and broken."
He grabbed Gohan at the arm and twisted it around, dislocating his shoulder. The half-Saiyan let out an agonizing scream which was cut off by Ginyu's return to beating him.
While the fighting raged on between Ginyu and the Earthlings, Vegeta and Jeice were giving everything they had into their battle.
"That was a neat trick you pulled, Jeice." Vegeta said, "And I've gotta give it to Ginyu for his splendid acting. Now if only you hadn't mucked it up for him-"
"Don't pin this on me!" Jeice yelled, landing a blow to Vegeta's face.
The punch had no effect on Vegeta, who simply swatted away Jeice's hand. "It's consider rude to interrupt someone who's talking, you know?" He said.
"Now I know you've always been cocky, but never to this degree." Jeice said, "What the hell happened?"
"It's simply, Jeice." Vegeta said, "I'm merely talking down to my inferior."
"Inferior?" Jeice scoffed, "You dare to think you're above a member of the Ginyu Force?"
"Oh, please." Vegeta said, "One of you rats is nothing compare to a Super Saiyan."
"A Super Saiyan?" Jeice said while backing away, his voice hinting at a slight of terror. Jeice's face was filled with terror for a bit before he calmed down and gave a chuckle.
"You? A Super Saiyan?" He laughed, "Not even that other Saiyan managed to pull that off, and he's far stronger than you are. Far stronger than you'll ever be."
"You doubt me, yet you're filled with terror." Vegeta said, "Besides, it's not merely strength that matters. To be a Super Saiyan, you have to have the heart of a Saiyan."
"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jeice asked.
"Kakarot's heart is too soft. He's too weak minded to ever become a Super Saiyan." Vegeta said, "But me? I'm a pure-blooded, strong-minded, cold-hearted Saiyan. And you know what that means?"
"N-No. W-What?" Jeice asked.
Vegeta appeared behind Jeice and grabbed him by the hair. "It means I'm not afraid to act." He said. The Saiyan broke through Jeice's armor with a chop and broke into his flesh. He spun Jeice around to face him and stared him in the eyes.
"And that's four out of five." Vegeta said before blasting Jeice into nothingness.
The four on the other field watched as Vegeta backed away from his fight and stared down Ginyu.
"Vegeta!" Goku yelled, finally managing to sit up, "You didn't need to take it that far!"
"And as predicted, the soft-hearted 'hero' thinks I'm in the wrong for this." Vegeta scoffed, "You'll never be anything if you won't take out those who would topple you."
The Saiyan flew down to Ginyu, who stared wide-eyed with terror at the him.
"So, Ginyu." Vegeta said, "You mind if I make it give out of five now?"
Ginyu stared silently at Vegeta before coming back to the reality of the situation. "Fine." He said. He tossed Gohan into the air and knocked him to the ground with a heavy elbow. "But do be warned I'm not letting you walk away aliv-"
Vegeta cut him off with a kick to the jaw. Before Ginyu could react, the Saiyan began pelting him with attack after attack before finally slamming him to the ground.
"That's enough, Vegeta!" Goku yelled, "Don't kill him!"
"Don't order me around, Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled, soaring high into the air.
Perfect. Ginyu thought. He spread his arms and stared straight at Vegeta.
"He's not thinking of-" Goku said, noticing the position.
As Vegeta began dashing down towards Ginyu, a purple energy surround him as he yelled one word. "CHANGE!" He yelled.
"Now's my chance!" Goku said, using everything he had to dart for the beam.
Vegeta stopped himself as the beam closed in on him. He shielded his eyes as the tip of the beam started to glow brightly as Goku got between them.
Great. Vegeta thought. Saved by the moron.
Ginyu stared in horror down at Goku in his own body. "I- I should still have a chance!" He yelled spinning around to face Vegeta.
Ginyu couldn't see him. He spun around and around trying to find the Saiyan before Goku yelled out.
"Vegeta, I said not to kill him!" Goku yelled.
Ginyu looked upwards to see Vegeta flying far above him, a purple ball of energy gathering in his two hands.
"GALICK GUN!" Vegeta yelled as the energy began to glow brighter, "FIRE!"
The Saiyan fired off the beam straight at Ginyu, who could do nothing but stare in horror. In a split second decision, Ginyu put out his arms to catch the blast. The beam collided with him as he struggled to toss it away.
"Five for five, Ginyu!" Vegeta yelled as he put more of his energy into the blast.
The energy proved too much for the captain as he gave out trying to toss it away. The beam quickly killed him, leaving nothing in the place of the once mighty captain.
