Chapter 45

Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku Jr and the resurgent Beelzebub were in the midst of their battle. Back in Hell however, Piccolo is seemingly unconscious from Bebi's last attack! Will he be able to recover, or will Bebi succeed in repossessing his entire body?

"Piccolo!" yelled Son Goku. Piccolo lay on the ground, his eyes wide open, but unmoving. Bebi began laughing maniacally.

"HAHAHAHA! I seem to be somewhat of a psychic, don't I?" He leapt towards Piccolo, ready to take him over once again when suddenly Son Goku jumped into his path.

"Not so fast Bebi," he gritted through his teeth. Then behind him, Son Goku heard a grunt.

"It's all right Goku." Piccolo was on one knee and looked as if nothing had happened to him. "You know I'm taking this guy all by myself, right?" He finished standing up and walked towards them, Son Goku blocking his way to Bebi.

"Piccolo, you don't have to do this," said Son Goku. "I can take him down intwo seconds flat-". Just then, Bebi took a wild swing at the back of Son Goku's head, but he was too slow. He spun around and grabbed Bebi's arm, and ripped it right off.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.

"Get up!" yelled Son Goku. "You know full well you can just regenerate." Piccolo then pushed Son Goku aside.

"I will take it from here Goku, trust me." Bebi then suddenly leapt up off the floor and another arm popped out at the point it was severed at. "Well if you're ready for round two then so am I!" yelled Piccolo and he charged towards Bebi.

Goku Jr had just released the Super Dragon Wave attack, but it was caught by Beelzebub, even though he had one arm left, and struggled to push it back. "DAMN YOU!" yelled Goku Jr. He started putting more and more into his attack.

"Come on Goku, come on!" said Goshin. Uubu looked on in silence, considering what measures he might have to take. The struggle continued, and it seemed that Goku Jr was starting to gain an advantage.

"I…CAN'T… LOSE!" yelled Beelzebub at the top of his lungs.

And with another burst of energy, Goku Jr delivered a final shot. "HAAAAAAAAAAA!" The wave ballooned three times its size and engulfed Beelzebub completely.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His screaming voice could be heard as the wave exploded and a blinding light came forth. Uubu and Goshin took cover behind a boulder to escape the debris until it cleared. A few moments later, the light dissipated. The demon was gone, but Goku Jr was still there, lying on the ground no longer a Super Saiyan 4.

"Goku!" yelled Uubu. Him and Goshin flew down to assist their comrade. "Hey, Goku. Goku!" The young Saiyan stirred and looked up at Uubu and Goshin.

"Well I have to say," smiled Goshin, "nice work." Goku Jr slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"It's really over? I-I did it?"

"Yup, great job Goku," replied Uubu.

Goku Jr gave a soft smile and fell back to the ground, "Excellent…"

"MAKOSAN-HA!" Piccolo let off a giant blast and just barely nipped Bebi. Son Goku still thought what Piccolo was doing was a bad idea.

If only he'd let me finish this, he thought. I don't know. Maybe just the thought of himself being possessed is what's got him in to such a rage. I just hope he doesn't lose.

After barely dodging Piccolo's attack, Bebi came at Piccolo and gave him a flurry of punches. Piccolo kept on blocking and blocking and finally countered by sticking his fit into Bebi's stomach when he least expected it. Bebi now reeling from the attack, Piccolo kicked him upwards and started charging up another attack. "Devil Screw Beam!" Piccolo's attack quickly reached Bebi and pierced his stomach.

"AHHHHHH!" screamed Bebi.

"Holy cow, a direct hit!" exclaimed Son Goku. As Bebi began falling from the air, Son Goku noticed that the entities behind him were getting restless. He turned around and addressed them. "If any of you decide to jump in for any reason, I will send you into oblivion in less than a second, and you won't exist in any plane at all." Son Goku's grim face was enough to scare the entities as they all shirked away.

When Son Goku turned around, he saw Bebi on the ground and Piccolo standing over him. There was a gaping hole in the middle of Bebi's stomach, just a bit larger than an enclosed fist would be. Blood was pouring out and the Tuffle's breathing was becoming shallow. "How- how is it possible that you have beaten me?" questioned Bebi.

"I honestly can't say," replied Piccolo. "Luck I suppose. Us being complete equals, this fight had no clear cut winner what so ever, fate was just on my side today. Now get the hell out of my body you slimy bastard or I'll rip you out!"

Bebi eyed Piccolo. "No." And at point blank range Bebi released a ki blast directly in Piccolo's face. Amazingly Piccolo didn't budge at all, or so it seemed. Piccolo moved so fast that he moved in time so that the blast only clipped the top part of his ear.

"Tch, now that I've weakened you Bebi, we are equals no longer," said Piccolo grimly. "Now get out! AHHH!" SPLURT Piccolo shoved his hand into the hole in Bebi's stomach and grabbed hold of something. Son Goku looked on in horror.

"AHHHHHHH!" screamed Bebi in agony. "Stop! Stop… it!" Then, Piccolo removed his hand and in his palm was none other than Bebi, in his parasite form.

"That is disgusting!" exclaimed Son Goku. "How were you sure that was Bebi? That could've been your liver for all you know!"

"I know my own anatomy Goku," replied Piccolo. "I just kept feeling around until I found something out of the ordinary. Besides, I'd been dying to do that since the beginning of the fight." Piccolo dropped the unmoving Bebi to the ground with a sickening plop and instantly, he rejoined with the other body and was fully himself once again. "Ah, good to feel in top shape once again."

Suddenly, Bebi jumped into the air and instantly transformed into his regular size self with blue skin. "You bastards! I'll destroy you both!"

"You really don't think you can do you Bebi?" said Son Goku. "You were already losing it when we were fighting, and you must be feeling just a little bit of fatigue from that last fight with Piccolo. I suggest all of you get out of this area now and release you eggs from these entities now. None of you are getting through that portal."

"Then make me!" hissed Bebi.

"Heh, you asked for it!" answered Son Goku. He put his hands behind his back once again, and two red orbs appeared as he combined the two. "Ten times KA-ME-HA…" Bebi's eye's grew in fear, as did most of the other entities behind him.

"Lord Bebi won't let us die will he?"

"He can't!" All of Bebi's possessed warriors were growing anxious as Son Goku was about to release his attack.

"…MEEEEEEE…." Bebi then realized Son Goku was not bluffing at all and quickly complied.

"All right all right we're getting out of here just don't make me not exist any longer!" Bebi turned and ran out of the cavern the rest of the entities following him as well, and soon the cavern was empty except for Son Goku and Piccolo.

"Look at them go," chuckled Piccolo, "all of them running with their tails between their legs. Are you sure Bebi will release the others from his possession?"

"I think he will," he answered. "He had to have gotten the message. Hopefully King Yama will be able to handle it from here. Anyways, I think it's time to get down to business with this portal."

Back on Earth, Goshin and Uubu were talking over their next plan of action while Goku Jr was taking a nap, tired from his exhausting fight with Beelzebub. "Well, I guess we go back to the Lookout soon," said Uubu. "We might have to travel through that portal to get to Appolysis."

"Or maybe," added Goshin, "he might just come to us."

"I'm sure somehow he'll hear that his minions have lost," continued Uubu. "It's just a matter of deciding if we should head in, or wait for him to come to us." Then, Goku Jr awoke.

"Aw man, I feel sore," he said, rubbing his shoulder. "Don't you got some Senzu Uubu?"

"Yea, right here," he said. But as he was reaching into his pocket, a shadow came over him and he turned around. "No way!" Goshin turned around and Goku Jr fully opened his eyes to look upon none other than Beelzebub.

"Yes, I am still alive!" exclaimed the demon. He looked pretty much the same except for a few extra bruises on him.

"No," grunted Goku Jr, "I beat you!"

"Wrong," he said. Uubu stood up as to protect the tired Goku Jr and got into a battle pose. "Right when you sent that last burst of energy, I quickly set up a barrier in less than a second. Fortunately it completely shielded the attack except for a few shards of flying debris. And for the past half hour while you thought I was dead, I've been rejuvenating myself. I may not be in peak condition, but I'm stronger than I was a little while ago. Our fight isn't over yet Goku. Stand up!"

"You're in the wrong this time," said Uubu. "I will be your opponent!"

"WHAT!" exclaimed Beelzebub with surprise.

What's this! Uubu is going to fight in Goku Jr's place? How much longer can Beelzebub possibly last with only one arm? Has he truly gained much of his strength back like he said, or is he merely bluffing? Find out next time on DragonBall AF!
