Chapter 15: The Saiyan Prince

Gohan landed along with Tien and Krillin.

"Guys why are we landing here? Why don't we go to Kame house? There's so much power being thrown around here." Krillin asked.

"I want to watch the fight between dad and Vegeta." Gohan answered.

"Yeah Goku could need our help. This is no time to be cowering and running away." Tien said in agreement.

Krillin sighed. "I think Goku has this. He won't need our help. Don't you have any faith in him?"

"Its not about faith. Its better to be safe than sorry. I rather us be here and for him to not need us than to not be here when he needs us most." Gohan stated in an annoyed tone. "If you want to leave then go ahead. No one is stopping you."

"I'm staying here. I don't like the feeling of leaving a battle this big to Goku. I want to help anyway I can. Even if it means I'll die." Tien stated.

Krillin sighed again. "Well if you two are staying I am too."

Everyone looked towards the battle when Goku started using Kaioken times 2.

"I've never seen him do that before. That must be something he learned with King Kai." Krillin said with wide eyes.

Tien nodded in agreement. "That is an alarming amount of power that Goku is producing, but The other guy is still stronger and faster. This is crazy."

Everyone's eyes widened when Goku used Kaioken times three.

Gohan was in shock. 'I never seen this in either of your memories. This fight is brutal.'

'To be honest this is our first time seeing it as well. We came into the fight when Dad was beaten to a pulp already.' Majunior replied.

"Are you serious!" Krillin exclaimed. "How is his blast holding up to Goku's kamehameha! He put so much energy into that blast!"

"It looks like Goku is starting to lose it. We may need to intervene now before its too late." Tien said as he got ready to blast off.

Gohan held his arm out. "Hold on. Don't count dad out yet. Just keep watching."

Goku upped his Kaioken one more time and sent Vegeta shooting off into the sky.

Krillin pumped his fist in the air with a jump. "Woooo! He did it! He won! And you guys thought he couldn't do it alone."

Gohan and Tien kept a stoic face. "Its not over yet Krillin. Goku is practically out of energy."

Gohan nodded in agreement. "Yeah and I can still sense Vegeta's power. He's weakened, but he's not dead."

Krillin frowned. "Damn it! You're right." He looked down to see Yajirobe running away from Goku. "I guess he figured out Vegeta's not dead. Coward."

Gohan rolled his eyes. 'Like you can talk. You wanted to leave dad by himself. He may be hiding, but he stayed close.' Gohan thought.

"It looks like Vegeta is back and roaring to go." Tien stated. "Whats that thing he's throwing in the sky."

'Oh shit! Gohan don't look at that! Turn your head!' Majunior yelled through their link.

Gohan did as he told. He jumped down and hid behind some rocks.

"What are you doing Gohan?" Krillin asked.

"Saiyans transform with a full moon. Vegeta has found a way to replicate that so if I look at that ball in the sky I'll transform as well. I have no control over my transformation so Its better if I don't look at it."

Krillin and Tiens eyes widened in fear when they saw Vegeta transform and start beating down Goku.

Krillin shook his head. "Okay we need to cut off his tail some how.

"No!" Gohan yelled from his spot.

"What do you mean no? We have to do something. Goku's in trouble." Tien argued.

"There is a few things wrong with that plan. Cutting off his tail will be hard to do. He has gigantic ears. He'll probably hear you coming. Also I can't move from this spot unless that ball of energy is gone. The best thing to do is to destroy that ball of energy."

"But he'll probably destroy us if we get close to that thing." Krillin complained.

"So someone go for his tail. You'll most likely fail in cutting it off, but you'll do well to distract him." Gohan responded. "Tien you should attack him to distract him while Krillin destroys the ball of energy. Once thats gone we can team up on Vegeta."

Tien nodded. "Lets do this Krillin. Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. Lets go buddy."

They both took off ready for their mission.

Vegeta was crumbling Goku up in his fist and laughing.

"Dodon Ray!" Vegeta heard as a blast hit him dead in the eye. He cried out in pain as he dropped Goku.

Tien flew behind Vegeta and threw a ki blast at his tail. Vegeta jumped out of the way and landed down with a thud.

"Did you seriously think that attack would work on me? I'll admit you got me good in the eye with that cheap shot. I'll make you pay for that!"

Tien jumped up in the air and tried to fly away, but Vegeta swatted him to the ground. "So this was your big plan? Pretty bad if you ask me."

Tien smirked. "No I'll say our plan is working out perfectly."

Vegeta smirked. "No I think not." He turned his head and let a blast roar from his mouth. He knocked Krillin out of the air."

"I could smell and hear him from a mile away. You all have failed and now you'll die."

Gohan clenched his teeth. "They're going to die unless I go out there."

"Hey kid what are you doing just sitting here? There's a monster out there about to destroy everything." Yajirobe asked when he saw Gohan.

Gohan sighed. "I know. I want to help fight, but I can't. If I look up at the ball I'll transform like Vegeta did. I can't risk that. I have no control over that form."

Yajirobe cocked his head to the side. "So what? If you do nothing we all die anyway. Better than nothing."

Gohan face palmed. "This is my voice of reason right now."

Yajirobe crossed his arms. "If you have the power use it. I don't have the power, so I'm leaving." Yajirobe threw a capsule down revealing a hover car.

"You have more power and strength than you think. Thank you for helping me make a decision." Gohan stood up and handed Yajirobe the other half of his senzu bean. "Can you hold on to that for me?" Yajirobe nodded and stuffed it in his pocket. Gohan gave him a nod in thanks. "You might want to get out of here. I don't want to accidentally kill you."

Yajirobe left as Gohan stared at the orb of energy in the sky. 'Don't worry.' Mystics soothing voice echoed in his head. 'We're here with you. You don't have to do this alone.'

Gohan felt his blood boil and his heart pound like crazy. He grew forty feet tall and growled to the sky once his transformation was complete.

Vegeta looked over. "It seems the brat transformed too. He didn't even know about the transformation, so I doubt he knows how to control it. He'll just rampage until he tires out."

'Destroy! Destroy! Kill! Smash!' Was the only thing ringing through Gohans head

Gohan started destroying random rock formations as he roared with rage. He kicked over more formations and slammed his fist into the ground. He let out a roar as a ki blast erupted from his mouth.

'Gohan! Stop this!' Mystics voice rang in Gohans head causing him to immediately stop what he was doing. He stared off into nothing as another voice rang in his mind as well.

'You're not some brainless monster Gohan. You can control this.' Majunior said trying to talk some sense into the boy.

Gohan growled at the voice.

'Look around you. Look at all the damage you caused. This isn't you.' Majunior continued

'Good it seems like you calmed down some. Now look around at the other giant ape.' Mystic added. 'He's who you need to focus on'.

Gohan growled when he layed eyes on Vegeta's oozaru form. He snarled his fangs at the other beast.

'Attack him. Focus all your rage out on him!' Mystic and Majunior said simultaneously.

Gohan roared as he chased after Vegeta.

Vegeta was astonished when he saw Gohan stop what he was doing. 'Whats going on? Is he gaining control of himself? No that can't be it. There is no way.' Vegeta felt a shiver run down his spin when Gohan turned his blood shot eyes at him. 'Did he gain control? But...how?'

Vegeta could feel the vibration from Gohans unbridled raging roar. Gohan started running towards him, so Vegeta responded in kind. 'Its been a long time since I fought another Oozaru. Bring it on brat!'

Gohan rammed his body into Vegeta trying to knock him over. Vegeta grabbed him in a hug like position and used Gohans own momentum to pick him up and slam him to the ground. He tried to pin him down, but Gohan was having none of that.

Gohan lifted his head so that it would collide with Vegetas head. Vegeta reeled his head back, but Gohan wasn't finished there. He unleashed a blast from his mouth knocking the Saiyan prince off of him.

While this was going on Goku had called out to Krillin. Krillin limped over to his best friend.

"Whats up Goku? You have a plan to stop that saiyan?"

Goku smiled slightly. "Something like that. I can't move my body, so I'm counting on you to land the final blow."

"I don't think I have much left in me to do much Goku. It took a lot for me just to drag my body over here." Krillin responded.

"I know Krillin, but hear me out. I learned alot of techniques while I trained with King Kai. One of these techniques is called the spirit bomb. I collect energy from the all living creatures and plants on the this planet and turn it into powerful attack."

Krillins eyes widened in shock. "That's amazing Goku!"

Goku nodded as much as he could. "I still have some of the energy that I collected from the Earth earlier. I'm going to transfer the energy over to you. I'm going to need you to concentrate and turn the energy into a ki ball. Once you do that I want you to throw it at Vegeta."

Krillin waved his hand in front of him. "You're trusting me with this?!"

"Of course Krillin. You're my best friend. I have the utmost confidence in you even if you don't have it in yourself." Goku lifted his arm a little and Krillin grabbed it. Goku transfered the energy to Krillin. Krillin looked at his hand in shock.

"This is a lot of power!"

"Focus Krillin." Goku strained out. "I need you to turn it into a ki ball."

Krillin focused as hard as he could. After a bit of straining he finally was able to form the ki ball. "I did it!"

Goku smiled. "Good. I knew you could."

Krillin looked around at Vegeta to see him and Gohan still battling it out. "When should I throw it."

"Don't worry. You'll know when to throw it. Just concentrate and wait for the right moment." Goku answered.

Krillin flew up on a cliff to get a better angle. He stood with his eyes closed and his senses sharp. 'I'll know when to throw it. Just focus!'

Gohan jumped up and punched Vegeta with earth shattering force. Vegeta fell to his back as Gohan loomed over him raining down blow after blow. Gohan pounded his fist on Vegeta as hard as he possibly could.

Vegeta had enough of this and lifted his foot onto Gohans stomach. Gohan backed off after the blow to the stomach, but it only seemed to fuel his rage. Vegeta stood up and caught a fist from Gohan.

'This brat is so angry! His attacks are sporadic. Its hard to get the upper hand on him. He's so damn relentless!' Vegeta thought as he took another fist to the face.

Vegeta let a blast loose from his mouth and hit Gohan dead in the face. Gohan backed up and covered his face in pain. Vegeta followed up on his attack by tackling Gohan into a plateau. He pounded his fist into Gohans chest and face trying to cause as much damage as he could. He jumped back and charged up an attack.

"Gallick Gun!" He released a purple blast onto a down Gohan. When the smoke cleared Gohan was lying motionless on the ground, but still in his ape form.

Vegeta panted heavily. The fight took more out of him than he thought. Now to kill everyone and leave this mud ball of a planet. Vegeta contemplated on taking Gohan with him. 'This brat could prove to be very useful to me.'

He started walking towards Gohan only to stop when he felt a sharp pain in his backside. He turned to see his tail falling from off his body. He saw the form of an overweight man running away from him. 'My...tail! He...he cut it off!' Vegeta screamed as he reverted back to his normal form.

Krillins eyes snapped open. "Now!" He said as he threw the ball at Vegeta.

Vegeta was absolutely livid that his tail was cut off. 'When I find the bastard that cut off my tail I'm going to murder him.' His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something coming his way. He jumped over the ball of ki and lingered in the air. "What the hell was that?"

Krillin dropped to his knee's. "Damn it!"

'Goku try the rebound!' King Kai's voice rang threw Goku's head. Goku reached out to who ever was close by.

'Tien! See if you can smack the ball of ki back towards Vegeta. Its our only hope.' Tien stood up and jumped with all his might ignoring his protesting body. He smacked the ki ball towards Vegeta as he fell back to the ground.

Vegetas eyes widened when he saw the blast heading back his way. It collided with his back and sent him back up to the sky. Krillin jumped down and ran towards Goku. "We did it Goku! He's done!"

Tien stood up and limped over to Goku and Krillin. "Yeah there is no way he survived that."

Goku smiled. "Thats great. Where's Gohan? Is he still transformed?"

Krillin nodded. "Yeah he looks unconscious though. Now would be a good time to cut off his tail."

Tien sat down and let out a sigh. "Its crazy how the two of them were fighting as giants. The earth was shaking like crazy. That kid of yours is really powerful. You trained him well."

"I didn't train him though. Piccolo did."

"You're telling me he got that strong over the last year? I had to train all my life just to be where I am now." Tien said in amazement. "The kids a natural. Just imagine how strong he will be when he's an adult."

Just then they saw something falling from the sky.

Krillin started shaking in fear."Don't tell me he's still alive!"

Vegeta's body fell down to the earth near Krillin, Tien and Goku. Krillin let out a sigh of relief. "For a second there I thought he was still alive."

Tien stood up and narrowed his eyes. "He still might be breathing. Lets finish this once and for all."

Krillin walked over and stood above Vegeta. "Yeah he's finished alright. Good thing too. Now we don't have to look at his ugly face anymore."

"Whose face is ugly!" Vegeta said as he cracked an eye open.

Krillin jumped back in shock as well as Tien. Goku's eyes widened when Vegeta stood up. He was panting heavily.

"I suppose you think you're clever, but here's a piece of advice. If you're going to shoot someone in the back make sure to finish them off." Vegeta yelled as he backhanded Krillin to the ground.

Tien flew forward only to receive a punch to the stomach. Tien doubled over in pain as Vegeta lowered his elbow to the back of his neck putting him down.

"Kakarot. Its going to be my greatest pleasure wiping you and your worthless friends off the face of this planet. I'm going to do what I should've done from the very beginning. I'm going to blow all of you to oblivion." Vegeta crossed both his arms drawing his energy. He extended them up and let off an explosion of his ki.

The explosion sent Tien, Goku, Krillin, and even Yajirobe flying. When the smoke cleared everyone was down and out.

Vegeta was panting heavily. "This is pathetic. How could I be reduced to this. I don't have enough energy to complete the attack. They're still alive!"

He flew up and started floating towards Goku. "The last attack must of damaged me more than I thought. I need to end this, even if that means killing them one by one."

Gohan was in his great ape form, but he was unconscious. He still couldn't think straight. His rage had left him as well as his energy.

'Gohan. Gohan you have to get up!' Mystics voice rang in his head. 'Come on Gohan. If you don't do anything everyone will die.'

'Whats that voice? It sounds familiar.' Gohan thought.

'Gohan its time to wake up. Its time for you to gain control. This is your body. The oozaru doesn't control you. Your instincts don't control you. We don't control you. You are the only one in control. You have the power to put an end to this battle.' Mystic continued.

'I know this voice. Its future me.' Gohans mind was finally starting to piece everything together.

'Gohan you can do this. Do what I never did. Do what mystic never did. Do what no Gohan has ever done and control this transformation. Control the mighty Oozaru!' Majuniors voice rang in.

'Thats me as well! Those are the voices of my future counterparts. They believe in me. I can do this. I can control this!' Gohan opened his eyes to see a Giant Oozaru staring down at him menacingly. His eyes were red and he barred his fangs with a growl. Gohan didn't back down though. He stared the beast down and flew up to his face to look him in the eyes.

"Stand down! This is my body! This is my mind. You are just a piece of me. An extension of my saiyan half. You will obey and do what I say. I am in control whether you like it or not!"

The beast growled at Gohan, but Gohan responded with his own growl. The Oozaru nodded and lowered his head. Gohan put his hand on the beasts head and with a flash of light the Oozaru disappeared. Gohan smiled finally able to be in control.

Oozaru Gohan opened his eyes. He saw Vegeta standing over Goku about to land the finishing blow. He stood up and yelled to the top of his lungs. "STOP!"

Vegeta froze when he heard Gohan yell. He turned and saw Gohan running towards him. Gohan picked Vegeta up and threw him into a rock formation causing it to crumble. Vegeta stood up only to be grabbed by Gohan again Gohan repeatedly slammed him into the ground until he knew he couldn't fight anymore. He dropped Vegeta and looked towards his father.

Goku was shocked to say the least. "Are you in there son?" He asked weakly.

Gohan nodded causing Goku to smile. Gohan looked up at the blutzwave moon that Vegeta created. He placed both hands over his head. "Masenko Ha!" He yelled in a deep voice as he destroyed the blutzwave moon.

Gohan reverted back to his normal size. He wrapped his tail around his waist as he materialized a gi on himself. He was panting heavily and could barely move.

Vegeta took a remote from his pocket and pressed a button. A ship landed near him. Tien saw that he was leaving. He saw a sword near him as he picked it up. "Krillin Catch!" He yelled as he saw krillin limping towards the saiyan prince. He threw the sword at Krillin. Krillin caught it and nodded at Tien.

"You thought you could just leave after attacking and killing our friends! Well tough luck. This is where you die!" Krillin thrust the sword at Vegeta causing his eyes to widen.

The sword clashed with another sword belonging to Gohan.

Krillins mouth was open in shock. "Gohan what are you doing!"

"I can't let you kill him Krillin!" Gohan said as he struggled to stay standing.

Vegeta was watching in shock.

"Gohans right Krillin! Don't do it! Show him what it means to be merciful."

"Merciful?!" Krillin yelled.

"By doing this we're showing him that there is another way! A better way!" Goku replied.

While this conversation was going on Vegeta was trying to crawl into his ship. Gohan leaned down to his ear. "When you finally heal up to one hundred percent go to the planet Namek. That's where Freiza will be. I'll be waiting for you there."

Vegeta looked confused, but was in too much pain to respond. He hopped in his space ship. "When I come back to this planet. You're all going to suffer. And when you beg me for mercy I'll look into your eyes and laugh as I crush the life out of you." The space ship door closed and flew off into space.

Gohan chuckled as the ship left the atmosphere. "A simple goodbye would've been sufficient."

A/N: End of the chapter.
