Kyru: The Half-Saiyan
World's Strongest
Chapter 4

Fortress, Tsumisumbri Mountains

Goku, Gohan, Krillin and Kyru flew upwards through the shaft before getting to a dark room, the only light came from a table like structure that had Bulma in the middle of it.

"Bulma!" called Goku, getting her attention.

"Goku!"

Goku ran at her and jumped, only to get shocked by some type of barrier that surrounded her. He flew back and landed in front of Krillin, Gohan and Kyru.

"Dad!" cried Gohan.

"Goku!" Krillin ran up with Gohan to Goku. That's when they heard a maniacal laugh echoing through the room. Something lit up behind them and Gohan quickly looked. He saw a monitor that had the four of them on it.

"Congratulations Goku, it took quite an effort for you to get this far." A voice chuckled as a light shuttered on and beamed down on an old man.

"Tell me where Master Roshi is and I wanna know now!" snarled Goku as he stood up.

"Well if you're going to be so pushy about it, he is in the lab. I'm in the process of turning him into one of my bio-warriors."

"What?!"

"Hey look up there!" Gohan pointed. The three looked and saw what looked like to be a brain in glass dome on top of a machine.

"What is that?" gulped Krillin as he stared up at it.

"Is it a human brain?" Gohan asked, mainly to himself.

"That's not just any brain! Its the brain of Doctor Wheelo, a mad scientist who was presumed dead over fifty years ago but is now back to take over the world!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Do not speak that way to the greatest scientific mind in history!" Snapped the old man.

"You're both nuts! You only use your geniuses for personal gain! You should be ashamed!"

"What?!"

"Just look how pathetic he is, clinging to life in that little fish bowl! He should have died a long time ago!"

Kyru suddenly started to look around the room, her senses screaming at her that danger was near and it wasn't the old man or Doctor Willow. She couldn't find the source but all she did know was that its near, in this room.

Screams of pain caught her attention and she quickly looked at Goku, who had these wires over his arms and legs and he was inside this red pillar of light, like what she saw around Piccolo.

"Let papa go now!" ordered Kyru as she glared at the brain and the doctor. The two started to run at them when they were suddenly going down on their backs. Krillin quickly ran, shouting their names. A hole suddenly opened in front of him, making him stop.

Piccolo stood there, looking down at Krillin with his eyes tinted pink.

"It's Piccolo?!" yelped Krillin. He quickly backpedaled a few steps, not taking his eyes from the green man.

"Mister Piccolo!" smiled Gohan as he took a few steps towards his mentor. Goku got out of his imprisonment and went over to the others, watching Piccolo wearily. Gohan started to go towards Piccolo, despite his father's warnings, resulting him getting backhanded. He landed on his back, rubbing his cheek.

Piccolo took his cape and turban off, revealing some type of gold crown covering his head. He flew at Goku, dead set on fighting him when a small body collided with him, making them go rolling for a few feet.

"Piccolo stop it! You can't let them control you!" shouted Kyru as she gripped onto Piccolo's gi. "Please try to remember who Papa and Gohan is! Remember who I am!"

She held on to him as he thrashed around, trying to pull her off by her own cape. Finally, he pulled her off and let her cape go, only to grab the back of her head and glared at her face.

"P-Piccolo…p….please…" She winced and whimpered. Piccolo's tinted eyes bore into her own before throwing her into the wall and started to go after Goku. Kyru fell to the ground hard with a wince.

She forces herself to stand, watching as Gohan tried to get Piccolo to return to normal and failed multiple of times. She stumbled over to him as he stood there before turning. She turned with him and stared down Doctor Wheelo and the old man.

"This is...your fault." Gohan growled. "ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

He lets out a burst of power, making everything shake and rumble. Kyru stared at her brother, her eyes widening slightly at the power that radiated from him.

"You'll never get away with this." Gohan snarled. The man started to taunt Gohan before he decided to blast him but Gohan stopped it and hi started to expel more and more power until finally he made a creator, which snapped him out of his angered state.

"Are you okay Gohan?" asked Kyru as she helped him stand up.

"Yeah, but what about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Gohan nodded before looking over to Piccolo and Goku who had stopped fighting. The gold crown fell to pieces, returning him back to normal.

"Mister Piccolo!" Laughed Gohan as he walked up to him.

"Gohan." Piccolo blinked. Gohan turned back to Kyru and the brain. Just as Kyru was about to walk over, she started to hear a laugh behind her and she turned, watching as the wall around the doctor fall apart.

Once everything stopped, Kyru could only stare at the robotic body that stood in front of her.

"Goku once I taken control of your body, I'll finally discard this ugly metal shell, then I will fulfill my destiny and become the greatest scientist the world will ever know!" Wheelo snarled

Piccolo jumped at him, angered at the fact that Wheelo was the one who was controlling him. He was stopped by something and was hit away. Piccolo landed on his front hard and just laid there.

"Piccolo!" shouted Kyru as she began to run over. A foot came crashing in front of her, making her stop. She slowly looked up and saw that the metal shell was looking straight at her. She froze, her fear overriding her senses.

"Time to knock out a second pest." Wheelo growled as he rose his arm up.

"Kyru, no!" Goku shouted as he started running towards them. Everything seem to slow as Wheelo started to bring his arm down. She looked over at Piccolo who was trying to get up. Her fear changed into something that burned deep inside her and coil within her stomach. White hot rage made it to her nerves. she jumped upwards, making the arm hit where she had once been standing. She had her hands in a cupping motion above her head and red energy started to gather.

"Nova...EXPLOSION!"

She threw her hands down and forward, her blast launching from her hands. It hit the doctor straight on, engulfing him. The blast kept going until it reached the wall, resulting a hole leading to the outside.

She panted as she floated there, her arms falling limply at her sides as she stared at the smoke cloud. She wanted to believed that she had defeated the mad doctor, but she knew then to get her hopes up.

Wheelo burst from the cloud with a crackle. His arm rose, and it smacked her away to the side, making her black out. The last thing she remembered was being caught in the arms of her adoptive father, then nothing.
