A/N: Enjoy!
Unification
How Gohan was still alive, it was anyone's guess, considering the beating he was receiving from a full-powered Bojack. The half Saiyan couldn't count the number of times he had been hurled into cliffs and mountain formations, nor could he recall the times he was buried into the ground so deep, that he swore that he actually felt the heat coming from the molten magma that was below the Earth's crust. He was punched, kicked, straggled, bear-hugged, blasted, tossed, and probably even ping-ponged around the world for all he knew. His head, hell his entire body has never hurt as much as it did right now; the beating he got from Frieza or Cell was nothing compared to this.
The poor teenager had tears streaming down his eyes, every fist that collided with his battered face drawing out blood which splattered onto Bojack's; the monster licked the red fluid that landed on his lips.
This tyrant was truly the worst, one of the most disgusting beings that Gohan had ever met. The monster knew that he could kill him now with a flick of his wrist, but he purposely held back just enough to bruise and break his skin, leaving his bones completely alone and undamaged….well for the most part as he did at times feel them tremble.
"Ugghhh…it hurts s-so mu-ch…" Gohan wheezed, having trouble breathing as blood leaking from his lips while endless tears streamed down his cheeks. "D-dad…pl-please help me…"
Bojack let out a belly filled laugh. "Sorry kid, but if your daddy was here, I'm sure he would have come well before our fight began!"
"Or maybe he is here, but just doesn't care. Who knows, I don't give a shit!"
Videl, who was watching from afar behind a large rock was tearing up, really wanting to go in for the save, but knew that she'd only end up getting herself killed. She wanted to raise her energy so that the others could come and help, but yet again, she feared that she would merely screw herself over because after all, Bojack was closer than the others.
To her disbelief, she saw Gohan manage to stand up. "No Gohan…please stay down…" She whispered, pleadingly.
Lifting an eyebrow, he grinning, liking how resilient the boy was.
"Okay, I've grown bored. I'm going to give you what you probably want at this point, so I can get what I came here for!"
Breaking into a mad run, his feet tore through the ground, fire, dust, and debris left behind as he gave the teenager a bone-crushing closeline, that sent Gohan flying back and screaming. The half Saiyan amazingly was able to bounce back onto his feet when he crashed onto the ground, but he should have listened to Videl's quiet plead as the giant red tyrant appeared in front of him, grabbed him by his shoulders, threw him up before performing a backwards summersault that hurling him upwards at incredible speed. Gohan didn't get a chance to process where he was as Bojack dashed into his aerial form, his huge palm clamping onto his small face, throwing his hand back and then skydived downwards with the teen in hand. He couldn't breathe when his back slammed into the ground, a crater forming as Bojack hauled up the nearly unconsciousness half Saiyan. Just as he was about to give the boy a blow to the jaw that would definitely destroy his face beyond repair, killing him instantly, he heard-
"Get the fuck away from him!"
Gohan slipped from his fingers when an earth-shattering kick to the side of his head sent him twist and turning into three or perhaps four cliff-mountain-like structures. She had used the momentum to get here to propel her forwards into an attack. She figured that at the speed she had been going, she would be able to at the very least push Bojack back, hopefully buying her some time to check on Gohan; it had thankfully worked.
Dropping from her Saiyan Fist technique, she ran towards Gohan. Her hand flew to her mouth, not believing the condition that the son of Goku was in. He had bruises and scorch marks everywhere; his upper clothing was a mangled mess while his lower had missing patches, some equally as burnt as his skin. The only saving grace was that the teen was still breathing.
This horrified Bra so much, that she was beginning to have doubts that they could defeat such a foe.
"Kami Gohan..."
"Gohan!" Bra turned around and noticed Videl racing towards them as quickly as she could.
Falling on her knees she lifted her injured boyfriend's head, placing it on her lap. "Bra, how can we stop him?! Look at what he did to Gohan!" she said, lovingly stroking his hair, making sure to be mindful of his bruises.
"I-I don't know…"Bra admitted, facing towards where she sent Bojack to. He had been so focused on Gohan that my attack had taken him by surprise. But he'll be here soon and I don't know what the hell I can do! Damn it! If father was here, we might have had a better chance!
Bra raised her brows when she saw Zangya land on the ground. She looked like she had taken a beating, but otherwise appeared okay. Not long after, Piccolo, Krillin, and Eighteen, who humorously had Erasa and Sharpner attached to her legs, touched the terrain also.
"Bra! Boy, are we glad to-"
Erasa and Sharpner gave a sharp gasp while Krillin and Yamcha gritted their teeth, the poor shape the teenager was in filling their body with hot rage.
"No…Gohan." Piccolo whispered, walking to him with shock written on his face. He has seen Gohan in pretty bad shape, but this was...in a whole other level. He looked completely broken and well, it almost killed him to see his former protege in such a state.
"Bojack always likes to torture his victims before he kills them." Zangya said, whipping her orange hair from her face.
Balling up his fists tightly enough for his nails to pierce into his palms, Piccolo aimed his other hand out and shot a ki ball at the teenager. His body glowed briefly; Gohan choked out a cough, his eyes sluggishly fluttering open.
"Vi-Videl? Wh-why are you crying?" Gohan said, trying to raise his hand to remove the tears from his girlfriend's pale cheeks, but failed, as he was much too weak.
If Gohan had been in better condition, she would have slapped him. "Because of you, you big dummy! You almost died fighting that monster!"
Gohan forced a tiny smile. "I had to try…I'm the strongest here...wait how am I still alive?"
"I sucker kicked the bastard while he was distracted." Bra said, making the younger half Saiyan grin weakly upon seeing that Bra was okay.
Looking at her friends, she had many questions; why was Yamcha carrying Kogu's sword? Where was Tien (she felt that he was alive, so she figured that was the least important question), and finally, why was Zangya with them? Did she already switch sides? She wanted to know the answers to all of this, but the thing was, there just wasn't time to ask them. They have already wasted plenty of time talking as it is. They have to figure out some way to defeat-
Wait…
"Fusion…" Bra said, raising her hands up and eyeing the two rings on each of her middle fingers.
The others tilted their heads in confusion.
"Fusion? What's that?" questioned Piccolo.
Bra really didn't want to explain it all, but she had to or else the particular person she was thinking of fusing with won't do it.
"In my reality, there is a pair of special rings not of this planet, called fusion rings. These rings-" She flashed them at the group. "When worn by two people, they will join bodies, becoming one being with unimaginable power.
The Z-gang looked at her like she was crazy, but nevertheless, she continued. "This being won't be the same person they were individually. They'll be a totally different person, yet have some of the characteristics they had as a single person. Also, they will retain the memories of the individuals they once were."
They still, unfortunately, looked skeptical.
"Now these aren't the type of rings that will fuse two people permanently because there are ones that do. However, for some reason, when I found them in my time machine, the golden one on my right hand was cracked." They didn't bother to ask why those rings were in her time machine in the first place. "These things are supposed to be impossible to crack, so I don't have a clue how this happened. Because of that, the outcome could be unpredictable…"
"Anyways, my mother from here somehow melded them together, but it backfired. When I put the golden one on, the damn thing wouldn't come off and hell it still won't. To make matters worse, for reasons unknown, it took my powers away, which is why I was MIA for so long. I don't have all my strength back, but-"
She suddenly felt Bojack's ki stir, as did the others. Shit!
"One of you has to fuse with me and I ain't gonna lie, I really-really don't want it to be with a guy!" Looking at Eighteen, she slid the silver ring of her middle finger and extended it to her. "So I want you to fuse with me."
Eighteen stumbled back, fear appearing across her face. "What, no way! If it's anything like it was when Cell absorbed me, then hell no! I'd rather die! I like being me!"
Bra growled. "Eighteen, I promise it won't be like that! We'll be in this together! You won't be in the dark for eternity! Now hurry! Take the damn ring!" she shouted, trusting the ring at her; the Android still refused to take it.
"What if it's permanent? You said the one you're wearing is damaged! What if that causes them to malfunction?"
"Eighteen! We're running out of time! These rings are designed to keep us fused for only an hour, so you and I should be ourselves again. However you are right…I can't promise you that the rings will do what they were designed to do, as they had been tampered with."
The blonde's lips trembled, her hand doing the same as she reached for the ring. Then she withdrew it like she had touched a hot piece of iron.
"I'm sorry, I just can't…" She said, her head dipping low in shame.
Krillin was conflicted. He was glad that his girlfriend didn't want to fuse with the Saiyan Princess, as he didn't want to chance losing her, but in the other hand, he was also disappointed because that meant that they will all probably going to die.
"Fuse will one of the guys, it might not be as bad as you think."
"Why when there is a perfectly fusible woman in from of me!" Bra yelled with anger and annoyance.
"Well then we're all going to die, because I'm sure as hell not fusing with you!" Eighteen shouted back.
"Why do you have to be such a bitch sometimes?!"
"Why you-"
Having enough of their bickering, Zangya marched towards Bra and grabbed the hand with the silver ring. "I'll do it."
"Ehhh?!" Bra's eyes widened, as did all the others.
"I said I'll do it!"
Bra blinked. "But why? You're the last person I'd expect to want to fuse with me."
Zangya bit her lower lip as she gently squeezed the Saiyan Princess's hand until she opened it, dropping the ring in the Hera-seijin's bluish-green palm.
"Because, I've been a horrible person all my life." She admitted. Her facial expression stayed stoic while her voice remained monotone, but her words…that's what touched everyone, especially Yamcha. "I guess, this is my way to atone for my sinful actions, a start at least… or perhaps I'm merely running away from them, I don't know."
"If you say that I'll be reborn into a different person…well, maybe that isn't so bad is it?" No one could see the sadness that suddenly glistened from her blue orbs, but Yamcha could and it literally felt like his insides were twisting in the worst way possible.
Her lips curved upwards slightly. "I also have a score to settle with the bastard."
As for Bra, she really didn't know how she felt about this. She had chosen the Android to fuse with because she had already befriended her; she was someone that she could trust and Zangya, well she was not…right? She appeared to be the same as the one in her reality, but she wouldn't truly know until she got to know her better. If it had been my Zangya, then I'd fused with her in a heartbeat!
And when Bojack's ki suddenly rose back to its peak, Bra had made her decision.
Damn it all!
"Put it on then! Let's kick his ass!"
Slipping the ring on her middle fingers triggered her ring to glow, Bra's following its example.
"Okay! Here we go!" Bra said, wearing a tense smile.
Zangya bit her lower lip nervously.
The Z-Fighters shielded their eyes as the Hera-seijin and half Saiyan turned into orbs, one silver while the other gold.
Then, as the orbs collided with one another, releasing a second flash of light and current of wind, this one almost pushing everyone off their feet (Erasa and Sharpner had grabbed onto Eighteen… again), Bojack chose to appear.
If his face hadn't already been red, everyone would be able to see just how angry he was. His blood boiled with rage as he could not believe that such a cheap shot was actually able to temporary knock him out. "Where is that Saiyan bitch! I know she was responsible for such a cowardly action!"
"Oh you mean this bitch right here?!" A dual voice said cockily from within the blinding light.
All those on the battlefield watched as the newly born warrior slowly and dramatically revealed herself.
Her boots were the first thing to present itself; they were a mixture of red, white and black, the front side having a neat polished look to them. Next came her pants, which were now a blazing crimson, the purple sash above it now replaced with a striking white color. Going onto her upper body, the warrior wore the same top that Zangya wore, the only difference being that the blue top had changed into the shiny red color of Bra's; her jacket inherited the Hera-seijin white color while her long arm sleeves had inherited the half Saiyan glittering red color. Moving on to her hair, the warrior favored Zangya's puffy orange long curls, the front bangs having faded into the blue-green the closer they grew to her forehead like Bra's. Her skin had taken in Zangya's turquoise hue, however, it seemed to be softer and lighter, probably because of Bra. The fused being favored Bra's rounded ears, as the pointed elf-like appearances of Zangya's were gone; the golden jewelry that Zangya wore hadn't changed, neither had Bra's sea-green tail, which wiggled with excitement.
Her slanted icy-aqua orbs laughed mischievously when she saw the confused look on Bojack's ugly red face. "Well, actually, I'm only half the bitch you're searching for." She said, smirking.
"And who the hell are you?!" She looked, her ki felt and her voice sounded like Zangya but…
"I'm the one who's going to get revenge for all the people you've harmed and killed! Get vengeance for my people, which were also yours!" Thrusting her finger forwards, she finished. "I am neither Bra nor Zangya! I'm Brangya and I'm going to be the one to destroy you!"
"Wow! Super cool!" Erasa exclaimed, fanning her face with a hand while admiring her figure.
Sharpner was speechless. The blond had always saw Bra as a smoking hot bombshell, but fused with the equally hot alien, she was drop-dead gorgeous, hot, sexy and hell every compliment he could think of.
Piccolo smiled, glad that the fusion was a success.
While Yamcha was also pleased with the results, the fear of losing Bra and Zangya as a single person still lingered within his mind. He had long admitted to himself that he was in love with the Saiyan Princess and as well as accepted that the love he had for her would never be returned; and Zangya… he guessed that it wasn't such a bad idea to rule in friendship.
And Krillin…poor Krillin was truly struggling to not blush. The fusion between such beautiful women was drowning his male brain with wild fantasies. The midget yelped when he felt a slap to the head, bringing him back to Earth.
"What did I do this time?" He asked, still looking forward.
"You know what you were doing." She said plainly.
Krillin grinned guiltily. He didn't know how, but his Eighteen seemed to have this weird capability to read his thoughts.
"You were also drooling."
Okay, that was most definitely a dead giveaway.
"Fine, you got me. But it's not what you think! I was actually visualizing how much hotter you'd look like fused with one of them." He lied.
Eighteen rolled her eyes, knowing that it was typical for her boyfriend to dig himself into a deeper hole.
"So, what you're basically saying is that I'm not hot enough for you and need additional characteristics to improve my overall looks and meet up to your standards?"
"No, I'm saying how much better you'd look, not that you aren't already."
"So if, hypothetically speaking, there was a version of me fused with one of them, would you ditch me for her?"
Krillin started to sweat. "Of course not!"
Eighteen nodded, saying nothing more.
"We're okay…right?"
When she still didn't respond, he gulped, knowing that he was in for it now.
Back with the standoff between Bojack and the fused warrior, now known as Brangya, the bulky red Hera-seijin rubbed his chin with interest. "Fusion huh…never dreamed such a thing was possible. I don't know how exactly the both of you were able to do that little trick, but if you honestly believe that that will increase your odds of winning this fight, you're greatly mistaken. Bra was that Saiyan I defeated with a flick of my wrist right?"
Brangya snorted. "I'd hardly say it was a fair fight. If she had been able to rid the ring that had suppressed her powers, she'd mopped the floor with you back then."
"You talk about getting revenge because of my wrongs doing, but what about Zangya? She has hurt and killed thousands of people without a second thought. She had no remorse and even laughed at all the spilled blood of her victims! She took pleasure from the smell of burning flesh when she burned them alive!"
The Hera-Saiyan frowned. "You had forced her too!" Hera-Saiyan snapped, vehemently.
Bojack laughed. "She was thrilled with every kill! You have her memories right? Then you should know how she felt on our missions."
"You…you tortured her." She said, her dual voice filled with sorrow and anger. "You put her in a fucking dungeon and whipped her for hours! You'd repeat that again and again, every day for who knows how long and as much as she hates to admit it, you broke her! You had then taken advantage of her and reprogrammed her like a damn machine, slowly molding her into someone…something she was not! She would have never done the things she'd done if you had left her be!"
"You know, she should be grateful that I chose to save her life instead of leaving her to die with the planet."
She laughed bittersweetly. "You say that like you had mercifully saved her life from the planet's inevitable destruction when in fact, you were the cause of it! Dying along with the planet…she'd rather have had that happen to her than be taken and forced to be a murderous prick like you!"
The Z-gang couldn't believe what they were hearing, neither could Brangya herself. She guessed that since the Saiyan in her didn't have any problems expressing her feelings, it was easier to say what she said and not worry about what others thought of her.
"I regret nothing. She was my top solider! And if she'd have just continued to follow my orders, I would have made her my queen!" He gave a wicked grin. "Actually, now that I think about it, I still can do that! All I need to do is bring you back to the ship when this is all over and play the dungeon game again-"
A sudden devastating punch to the cheek pushed the tyrant back several feet, but he didn't fall as the heels of his large boots had dug themselves into the earth soil, keeping him standing.
"You are one sick bastard!" The fused warrior shouted, using the rage inside her to flare her white aura out.
Wiping the dribble of blood that Brangya drew with a meaty finger, Bojack grinned. "That punch was pathetic. Fusing with that weakling of a Saiyan was a huge mistake on Zangya's part, one that she will regret!"
"I'm just getting started!" Brangya said, confidently, taking off at incredible speed, the jacked up space pirate doing the same.
As they clashed elbow to elbow, shocks of lightning ripping the terrain apart and causing debris to float in midair, Brangya couldn't help but think, no, more like hope that the fusion had jump-started her powers. She could feel that her Saiyan half had yet to recover, that she was mostly depending on the Hera-seijin's power.
Breaking their deadlock, the Hera-Saiyan dodged the tyrant's fist by jumping into the air. A swift aerial upwards scissor kick snapped his head up, Brangya then making a smooth transition into a backwards summersault, landing on the ground on all fours. Standing into a crouch, she twisted into a leg sweep, but Bojack was faster as he leaped into the air and dropped down, aiming to crush her. The Hera-Saiyan quickly rolled aside as the red pirate slammed into the earth soil, making it groan from the weight of his heavy frame. She shot into the sky, firing a barrage of Trap Shooters as a means to distract him, but the tyrant didn't bother to move, knowing that her attacks wouldn't inflict any damage.
Despite his bulky body, like Gohan, Brangya was surprised when Bojack moved so fast that he was able to sledgehammer her with his fists, sending her downwards. Landing onto her feet, she executed several backflips, avoiding the space pirate's groundbreaking angry fists, leaving dozens of holes in the battlefield. She had to change tactics when Bojack pivoted and lunged forwards, his hands spread to place her into a bear hug. The Hera-Saiyan smirked as she evaded his slow grab attack and even stifled a laugh when he tried again, but that look of amusement morphed into one of shock, Brangya gasping when her red foe somehow appeared behind her and slammed his fist right into her spine. Grabbing her long orange hair, he hefted her over his large shoulder and released her, watching as she spun straight into a cliff...or maybe not.
"Saiyan Fist!"
Bojack barely had time to turn as a black, red and white boot slammed onto the side of his face, following by another, making the giant grimace. Keeping her momentum going, Brangya twirled to her side and landed onto the terrain before doing a leg sweep. Unlike last time, it had connected with his legs, but unfortunately, even with her Saiyan Fist technique she still could not take him down, but it did manage to stun him. Seeing that he was still stunned, Brangya jumped up, pressed her feet against his thick red chest and by using her own weight and the Saiyan Fist technique, she pressed as hard as she could until he fell down like a log, indenting the ground. Both her feet lit up with shining green energy as she then yelled-
"Final Shine!"
Spreading her arms like an airplane's wings, she blasted from the tyrant's chest, leaving a trail of glistening green energy behind, which caused Bojack to wince, the ki attack having scorched his chest. Spinning into the sky with a grin, she stopped when she felt she was in a good enough distance for her next move. Cupping her hands to form a triangle, she grunted, causing two extra pairs of arms to grow from the upper part of her back; she spread her additional arms out as she let her aura rise.
"Tri-Beam Shooter Attack!"
Above her, countless sparkling orbs appeared while her cupped hands lit up with green energy. Bringing her second pair of arms together, numerous ki attacks missile towards Bojack, who had remained back first. He crossed his arms as the ki balls and triangles that shot from her cupped hands collided into him, layers upon layers of smoke covering the entire area.
The Z-Gang shivered when they heard Brangya's dual voice laugh maniacally as the stream of blast went on endlessly.
In came Tien, dropping next to his friends. "Hey, who's the girl that's using techniques which look suspiciously like mine?"
"To cut a long story short, it's the fusion between Zangya and Bra."
"Fusion…" Tien mumbled, staring in awe at the power being displayed from the Hera-Saiyan. "I'm guessing Zangya is the woman that's part of Bojack's gang, right?" The others nodded. "Is she on our side now?"
"Yeah, she is." Yamcha answered, not taking his eyes from the laughing woman.
"Sure doesn't sound like it…" he said, turning to watch the battle.
Brangya stopped laughing when Bojack broke through the smoke and clutched her by the throat.
"Finally I shut you up!"
Struggling, the Hera-Saiyan attempted to knee him in his stomach to get him to release her, but the tyrant managed to utilize his free hand to take a hold of it. Bojack cocked his head in confusion as, despite all this, Brangya's shit-eating-grin remained.
Her eyes then widened as her body exploded with a wild burst of power. My full strength! It's back! Her eyes shined with mirth.
Bojack growled when an explosion wave released by Brangya stunned him long enough for her to make her escape. Flying backwards in order to keep an eye on him, she cried out when yet again the large space pirate appeared from behind and delivered a bone-breaking kick to her back, sending her flying into the earth, creating fissures upon impact. Moaning as she lifted herself from the wide crater, her icy-blue orbs rounded as she saw a big ki ball rushing towards her. Without hesitation, the Hera-Saiyan opened her hands as it crashed into her, her palms burning from the boiling heat coming from the attack. Letting out a dual warrior cry, she sideways kicked the ball away from her, sending it into the air and out of the Earth.
Brangya hissed, her slightly spiked orange hair along with her golden fist and legs vanishing, thus ending her Saiyan Fist technique's run.
"You won't beat me like that you know." Brangya watched as Bojack slammed onto the ground, his evil grin nearly touching his yellow eyes. "You're fused with that Saiyan right? Why don't you do that little blonde trick then? It might help you just a bit, though I doubt it." He boasted.
"Wha?" Brangya paused; she then smiled with embarrassment, scratching the back of her head. "Oh yeah, I forgot I can do that!"
While everyone fell humorously, Bojack growled, not finding any amusement about this situation.
She grunted, tightening her fists; her chest, stomach, arms and leg muscles contracted, the terrain quaking as her power steadily rose. Her orange hair flashed golden, her icy orbs changing into turquoises as her skin lit up brightly. All those present shielded themselves when the area was eclipsed under a blanket of gold, Brangya's voice reverberating louder than it has since she was born.
A spiked golden-haired warrior came into view as the bright light died down. The Z-Fighters weren't surprised that her hair was blonde or that her eyes were turquoise, as those were common Super Saiyan traits. Heck, they weren't even taken aback at seeing that her ears now had pointed ends like Zangya's. What had shocked them was the fact that her skin color had completely changed into creamy pale; looks like Bra's Saiyan genes had kicked in fully when Brangya transformed.
Putting her fists up and falling into a fighting pose, she flared up her luminous aura. "Okay, let's go for round two!"
Brangya froze when she heard a small noise. Eyeing the ring that was once cracked, she saw that it was cracked again! Damn, I guess the damaged ring couldn't handle the power I'm producing. Welp, now at least I know the fusion won't be permanent…
Looking at Bojack as he ran at her, she braced herself.
But I have to finish him off before that happens and fast!
A/N: Originally I was going to have Eighteen and Bra fuse. I actually had that planned for a long time, ever since I thought of the fusion thing. There is even a fan art of it that someone drew! The artist named her Brighteen =p You can probably find it on deviantart. Its one of a kind, so I doubt there is another. If there is, I think that is the best one.
Anyways, I decided against it because I figured Zangya had more of a reason to fight Bojack. He did, after all, put her through hell.
Okay guys, only TWO chapters of this saga left! I might be able to post the last two before the end of the year. However, chances are I'll post one next month and the last around January of next year.
See ya later!
