Final Showdown
On the last episode of Dragon Ball E, our heroes faced off against Caula. Menken, though he tried, was unable to stand up to the awesome force of the Legendary Super Saiyajin. But Zuchin and Okro had a plan up their sleeves. The final battle between Caula and the Z-Fighters ends today, on Dragon Ball E.
Zuckro and Caula stared for a moment before Caula formed a ball of energy. "Puny fool!" Firing a steady stream of his greenish energy balls, Caula laughed insanely. Zuckro, however, seemed to get through without a scratch. There was a brief moment of silence.
The silence was broken by the cry of, "SCATTER SHINE!" This was abruptly followed by a series of red ki blasts being fired at Caula without aim. In the confusion of the attack, Zuckro disappeared from sight.
He appeared above Caula, a well-placed strike to the head knocking the larger Saiyajin from the sky. Appearing below Caula, he began a series of assaults, knocking Caula upwards through the air with each blow, finally appearing above him and slamming him down hard, a ball of reddish energy forming into a beam as Zuckro cried out with two voices, "Shining Kaaaaameeeeehaaaameeeee… HAAAAA!"
There was a moment where the only sound that could be heard was the intense crackle of energy, and then Caula was pushed into the ground, the energy washing over him and creating a crater. When the beam ended, Caula picked himself up slowly. "Why you little…" But this time, the damage wasn't superficial anymore. Caula was cut up pretty badly, and wasn't pleased about it. He rushed up at Zuckro, and there was a fierce exchange of blows that no one could see. When the two reappeared, it was with Zuckro falling from the sky. A barrage of energy blasts hit a moment later, forming a giant crater where there once were trees.
Jean and Goshin watched the beating. Or at least, they tried. There wasn't much to see, just Zuckro going down. There was an exchange of worried glances between the two of them. Jean spoke quietly. "Think they're okay?"
Goshin nodded. "They're stronger than I would've thought possible. If they're not okay, then…" He trailed off, but Jean understood. They would be doomed.
Zuckro rose out of the dust, behind Caula, who had turned to Jean and Goshin with a wicked grin. Caula laughed loudly. "Your friend is finished. Now it's your turn!"
Zuckro's dual voice sounded out as he told Caula off. "Uh, uh, uh… Not so fast, big boy. We're not finished yet." The red aura around Zuckro flashed brighter as Zuckro cried out, "Super Kaioken! Times Ten!" And with that, Zuckro rushed Caula with everything he had, a full onslaught of kicks, punches, and Shine Balls hitting Caula at high speeds from every side. As Zuckro formed another ball to finish him off with, there was a blinding flash of light, and Zuchin and Okro hovered there where Zuckro had been, and they looked down at themselves.
"Awww man, we fucked up. We wasted too much time."
Zuchin shook his head. "I don't think we could've expected that. The Super Kaioken must have reduced our time."
Caula grinned, forming a large energy ball. "Time to die…."
Jean and Goshin saw the two defuse and rushed in to help. There was a cry from Jean of, "Breaker Cannon!" and Caula was sent reeling back. Goshin appeared above Caula, sending him to the ground. Each of them took a side, forming a square.
Goshin and Okro cupped their hands at their sides, simultaneously calling out, "Kaaaaameeeee…. Haaaaameeeee…"
Jean brought her hands in front of her, cupped, gathering a large ball of energy. "Breaker…"
But Zuchin, instead of forming a Shining Sphere to join the fight, put his hands above his head. We need your help! Grass, trees, Mother Nature, give me some of your energy! A large bluish ball began to form above his head as energy began to coalesce from everywhere. The others looked at him as if for explanation.
"No regular assault will be enough. We have to give him everything we've got!" Zuchin waited for almost a full ten minutes, letting the energy gather. Caula was starting to stand up.
The others had continued to charge their attacks, as well, but Okro spotted Caula standing up. "It's now or never, Zuch, are you ready?"
Zuchin nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be. SPIRIT BOMB!" And with that, he directed the attack at Caula, the huge ball heading towards Caula as he flew up to them.
Jean released a brilliant beam of energy. "CANNON!"
Okro and Goshin, simultaneously, cried, "HAAAAA!" as they pushed forward brilliant blue beams of energy, the signature Kamehameha Wave.
There was a brilliant flash of light to follow, as the waves of energy met, and Caula's energy signature abruptly disappeared. Zuchin smiled at the others. "Thanks guys. I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you." Then he shot down, picked Menken up, and shot into the sky towards the Lookout.
Menken, in a daze, asked, "How did I do…?"
Zuchin laughed. "You did great, Menken. Remind me to teach you to use that power."
He stopped at Korin's Tower to get Menken a Senzu bean, then escorted him back to the Lookout. He smiled as he said goodbye.
"You know how to keep in touch, Menken, so if you ever need me, just tell me. I need to go train. I have a feeling that somehow, I'm going to need it."
Okro and Goshin found Gumm, grabbed him, and flew off to East District 439, powering down to their normal forms. There, Goshin's mom, Leanne, started cooking dinner for the boys.
Jean went home to West City, where her family lived. Capsule Corp was being rebuilt, but her family had another place to stay anyways. Slipping into the house, her father, Jox, pulled her close and whispered, "We thought we lost you…" Jean smiled slightly. "I missed you too, Daddy."
Caula has finally been defeated. The Z-Fighters return to their respective lives, waiting to be called upon again. Zuchin, ever vigilant, is aware that the newfound peace won't last long. But for now, at least, there is peace. The World Martial Arts Tournament begins, next time, on Dragon Ball E!
