The Vengeance of Turles Part 5b

The roaring never strayed far behind Goku as he followed the others to the Northern Plains. "He can fly as an Oozaru? I did not even know that could be done?!" Goku thought as he picked up speed once Vegeta came into sight in front of him.

"Vegeta, he's picking up speed, this guy is strong!" Goku said as he pulled up next to Vegeta in mid-flight.

"So what? He'll be a memory as soon as I am through with him." Vegeta answered through clenched teeth.

"Well before that takes place, we need to get a plan together when we get there to take that big ape down."

"Fine then Kakarott; let us land to meet him in battle." Vegeta replied sullenly as he began to descend into the Northern Plain Waste.

The two warriors landed just after Piccolo and Trunks had done so, and they were all silent as they prepared themselves for the coming battle.

They did not have to wait long. The enormous Oozaru came roaring into sight as a Super Sayain. The four warriors were stunned staring at the sight when suddenly Piccolo yelled, "I'll distract him, and you three Sayains do your damage!"

"Smart Namek." Vegeta thought as he joined Trunks and Goku in flight towards the mighty beast.

Turles was no longer sane in any capacity, but he was not stupid. Even as an oozaru he still managed to maintain the insight and intelligence he had in true form. This showed a sign of his power and training, Piccolo saw that…and used it to his advantage. Piccolo shot a strong beam of white energy at Turles's eyes and temporarily blinded him on his left side. Vegeta took this "blindsided" advantage and flew up to strike the very same eye that Piccolo struck with his blast. Turles let out a roar started to swing his fists wildly in front of his face to hit Vegeta. He continually missed and as he did so, Goku began to power up a Spirit Bomb."

"Trees. Flowers, Bees and Birds…hear me now!!" Goku screamed as he outstretched his arms towards the sky.

"Earth, Wind, Water and Fire…lend me your strength!" He continued as the golden wreath of flame grew around him more with every word and every piece of energy that floated to him from the planet.

"Hurry Kaka rot!!" Vegeta yelled as he ducked another massive fist while he pummeled the side of Turles's head.

"He is regaining his vision!" Piccolo yelled as he fired off another blast that was deflected by Turles arm-guard.

After Piccolo said this, Vegeta was struck by a swinging fist and sent flying into a boulder…he disappeared in a cloud of dust and rubble.

"Piccolo…I need…more….time!" Goku sputtered out through clenched teeth as he gathered more of the plant's energy.

"I am trying Goku." Piccolo thought as he shot another arc of energy towards Turles that was deflected easily. Turles was now looking at Goku and noticed his power level elevating rapidly. Piccolo knew that he needed to get attention back on him, and he had to do it alone for Vegeta was down.

"Fine then! Take this Turles!!!" Piccolo yelled as he flew into the air and right at the face of the mighty oozaru.

As Piccolo flew towards Turles, Goku suddenly realized he was near the end of the planets energy. He could draw no more. He hoped it would be enough as he looked up at the massive yellow that he held high above his Super Sayain form. It would have to be, and he would have to use it now.

Goku looked at Turles and saw that Piccolo was already thrown down with incredible speed to the ground, unconscious.

Suddenly there was an enormous crack as the mound of stone Vegeta was thrown into split into two. Goku paused his release of the Spirit Bomb just in time to see Vegeta rise from the stone as an oozaru.

"No! Why Vegeta?!?! I had him!!!" Goku yelled at the growing form of the Sayain Prince.

Vegeta let out a mighty roar as he narrowed his eyes towards Turles and began taking lumbering steps towards Turles. Turles took notice of Vegeta and suddenly seemed to forget about Goku. They went at with such fury that neither one really hit, only blocked each other continually. The ground shook and it felt like an earthquake to Goku. He was having a hard time holding up this Spirit Bomb and he knew he could not hold it for much longer. He could not fire it at Turles now for Vegeta might also be destroyed, but if he let it go it would be wasted.

"Goku, what is happening??!?!" A familiar voice said as somebody landed softly beside him.

"Trunks!! I am so glad to see you, here can you help me hold this?" Goku asked in panting breaths to the youth beside him.

"Sure..." Trunks said uncertainly as he grabbed one end of the Spirit Bomb while in Super Sayain form. This sent golden sparks flying as the three energies of force came together as one.

"Why is my father an oozaru? And why are you sitting here holding this?" Trunks asked as he watched the battle unfold ahead intently.

"Yea, and why did you ditch us dad!?!?" Gohan piped in as he landed next to Goku on the other side.

"Gohan! I'm sorry you guys, Vegeta got kind of headstrong…" Goku trailed off.

"I see that. And look where it has lead him." Trunks said angrily through clenched teeth.

"What is the plan dad? Where is Piccolo?" Gohan asked as he looked around.

"Gohan he is down, go and find him then go back to Kami's. We can handle this and I need you there to get him to safety." Goku said as he tried to turn his head and look at Gohan.

"He fell that way." Goku added as he jerked his head to the left, past Trunks.

"No problem dad!" Gohan said as he flew behind him and into the mess of boulders and rocks that were now the Northern Plains to find Piccolo.

"Trunks, I need you to distract Vegeta away from Turles so that I can hit him with this Spirit Bomb."

Goku said in a quieter voice to Trunks.

"Sure Goku, can you hold this till then?"

"Yea, I think so. Listen Trunks be careful. I have been watching Vegeta and I do not think he has the same amount of mastery and control in the oozaru form that Turles has. He may not know you too well, or may not care." Goku warned Trunks as they shifted the Spirit Bomb solely back onto Goku.

"I am not surprised…the stupid fool. Becoming like Turles to beat him when he clearly can't. It will surely be the death of him." Trunks muttered as he powered up and flew off to get the attention of his father.

Trunks flew towards his father and landed on a small precipice just outside of Vegetas reach. Vegeta did not notice Trunks or much of anything else for that matter except for Turles and the anger he felt toward him. The two oozarus crashed into each other over and over again with a never-ending source of energy. Trunks waited until Vegeta landed a hard blow to the side of Turles face that sent him sprawling into a mountainside with an earth-shattering blast.

"Father, step back!" Trunks yelled with all his might as he flew upwards to be level with Vegeta.

Vegeta did not listen, or care, because he lumbered towards Turles who was now slowly getting back up.

"Father stop!" Trunks screamed as he darted around his father face like a fly. Vegeta briefly took notice of him, but only to swat at him like a bug as he kept moving towards his enemy. He also began to open his mouth to gather a ball of energy to fire at Turles.

"Fine then. Forgive me father." Trunks said softly as he flew backwards a lil ways and began to power up a small ball of white energy.

"There, this should get your attention!" Trunks yelled as he fired the glowing ball directly at Vegeta just as he let loose the ray of power from his mouth towards Turles. The two shot fired on different people created a sonic boom that nearly shook the Spirit Bomb off of Goku's shoulder.

Vegeta was hit in the shoulder and a smoking black hole was left, piercing through his armor. Turles was also hit and dropped like a stone, causing the earth to shake so violently that this time Goku lost his hold of the Spirit Bomb. Instead of dropping it, he threw it at Turles with all his might.

"Trunks, Vegeta its coming!!" Goku yelled with his last ounce of energy as he fell to the ground unconscious…completely drained of energy from having to hold the Spirit Bomb for so long.

Vegeta was falling to the ground from his wound, but he was falling into the outer edge of where the Spirit Bomb would hit near Turles. Trunks saw that Goku was out for the count and knew that it was up to him and him alone to save his father's life.

"Father!!!!" Trunks yelled as flew towards his father's massive falling form. Trunks used all the energy he had as he raced to his father and tried to beat the slow ball of the planet's energy that was coming squarely at them all. The golden wreath of energy was growing and sparking around him as he got closer and with a massive burst of power he hit his father with all he could to the side. It was enough power to push Vegeta out of harm's way, but it stopped Trunks cold in his tracks. He was drained and was only able to look at the approaching ball of light and waited to be consumed.

Three Weeks Later

"Kaka rot, how long have I been unconscious and where is Turles!!" Vegeta suddenly yelled as he sat up straight in the bed he had been in a coma in for the three weeks after the battle.

"Goku is not here…but I will get him." A female voice answered as she left the room.

"Bulma? What are you doing here? Where am I ?" Vegeta asked puzzled as he watched her leave and he settled back down into the bed. Vegeta looked around and it was clear that he was somewhere in Kami's Lookout for the earthy artworks on the walls were quite distasteful to him. Goku and Gohan both came into the room followed by Bulma and Krillin. Everyone looked so somber.

"Did we get Turles Kakarot? Or rather did I dispose of the problem?" Vegeta asked smirking.

"Not quite…" Goku answered as he looked around the room nervously. Gohan just stared at Vegeta, quite angrily and everyone else was very quiet.

"Well did we or not?!? And you boy, what are you staring at?" Vegeta asked Gohan angrily as he sat up in bed once more and tried to stand. He could not however, for he was too sore still from the battle.

Gohan looked down and away after Vegeta confronted him and Goku quickly said, "What do you remember of the battle Vegeta?"

"I remember beating up on Turles pretty well, he was no match for me of course." Vegeta said.

"Well if you were as strong as you say you are then Piccolo and Trunks would not be de…." Krillin answered fast and angrily.

"Krillin!" Goku said, cutting him short. "Things happened for a reason, there is no blame on any individual. We all tried our best…right Vegeta?" Goku said as he looked firmly at Vegeta who was starting to feel quite uncomfortable.

"Where is the boy, and the Namek?" Vegeta asked as he looked around and noticed who was missing.

"I hate to be the one to tell you Vegeta but Trunks…your son…is gone." Goku said slowly as he knelt next to the bed. Bulma rushed out of the room in tears as Goku said this and Krillin quickly took off after her down the hallway to try to console her.

Upon hearing the news Vegeta was very silent.

"And Piccolo is dead….along with Kami." Goku finished as Gohan started to softly cry.

"There there Gohan, we will all be reunited again in a happier place I promise!" Goku said as he turned towards Gohan and gave him a hug to reassure him.

Vegeta just looked around and for once he felt sadness, his bloodline was dead. His only child who would carry his Sayain name, even though he was a half-blood.

"Wait Kakarot what do you mean Gone? Is he dead or what?" Vegeta suddenly asked sitting up again.

"Well, we are not sure. Gohan found Piccolos body but Trunks was nowhere to be found. Both neither he nor Turles have turned up since then and we cannot sense them on this planet anymore." Goku replied as he stood up and scratched his head.

"Have you been searching you idiot??" Vegeta asked angrily.

"Yes, for three weeks now. They do not seem to be on the planet." Goku replied.

"Peculiar…" Vegeta said as he laid back into bed.

"Rest up Vegeta and we will find them, I promise." Goku said as he began to move towards the door with his hand around a sobbing Gohan.

"Wait," Vegeta said. "Boy, come over here." He motioned towards Gohan.

"Yes…" Gohan stopped and turned towards the Prince.

"I am sorry the Namek…your friend…has died. For a Namek he was a valiant warrior and he will be missed by his friends." Vegeta said very seriously as he looked into Gohan's eyes.

"Thank you.." Gohan said very unsurely but without a tear.

"C'mon Gohan we have a lot of work to do. We have to find a new guardian for Earth now that Kami is gone and we have to find a way to locate Trunks and Turles off planet." Goku said as he put his arm around his son and walked out the door.

"We will find my son, and also Turles. Then, I will have my revenge…of that you can be sure of." Vegeta said softly after they left. He then laid back onto the pillow with a wicked smile on his face, the smile of Vengeance.
