Chapter 69
Last time on DragonBall AF, Vegeta fought hard against Daikon, but once he transformed into his Legendary Super Saiyan state, all seemed lost. But reminded in a dream about what his ancestor had taught him, Vegeta's anger explodes! Can he possibly take on Daikon, or has his fate already been sealed?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Vegeta started yelling at the top of his lungs, his eyeballs rolling back into his head revealing only the blank whites of is eyes. Daikon still grasped tightly to Vegeta's neck, but a wave of nausea came over him.
"What are you doing!" he yelled, shaking Vegeta. "Are you trying to muster up the last of your strength! I won't let you!" Daikon began to squeeze harder, attempting to suffocate Vegeta to death.
"GAH! ACK!" Vegeta was struggling to breathe, but at the same time unbeknownst to him, his power was growing. His golden aura had returned around him, and Daikon was finally starting to feel it.
"ARGH! How is his power increasing so much!" he boomed. "And your neck should've snapped by now!" But it wouldn't. As Daikon kept squeezing his grip, he could also tell that Vegeta's neck muscles were tightening. In fact, Vegeta's entire body seemed to be growing.
I'm not giving up! Vegeta thought to himself. No way I am! "RAHHHHHHHH!" The piercing scream, caused Daikon to release his grip on Vegeta's neck. Then, no by his own will, Vegeta began rising into the air, his back arched and his screaming continued.
A smirk slowly came across Daikon's face. "Actually, this is nteresting," he said while gazing up at Vegeta. "This boy might have more spunk than I thought. Let's see what he can do now." Daikon crossed his arms and continued to watch Vegeta as he kept powering up.
The sparks of electricity returned and began to surround his body once again. His biceps began to bulge ever so slightly. But then, more noticeable features began to change.
"AHHHHHHHHH-AH-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vegeta screamed as if he were struggling to get his power out. It seemed that is face began to change. His eyebrows began to sink into his skin, as his forehead seemed to jut out ever so slightly. Then, Vegeta's hair began to grow longer, so long that it was forced to arch itself behind his back.
Again, Daikon felt a wave of nausea, but this time he realized why. "There's no way! This can't really be happening, can it!"
Vegeta's eyes suddenly opened. His aura was still constantly getting larger, and the waves of electricity continued to course over his entire body. The he finally let out one last yell. "HYAH!" The ki that he had let off seemed to shake the entire canyon, causing rocks to tumble down some of the mountains. Then, Vegeta turned his gaze towards Daikon.
"How could I have let this happen!" screamed Daikon. "He's transformed…! Into a Super Saiyan 3!" Daikon began to tremble as he felt the raw power surging through Vegeta.
"Heh," chuckled Vegeta, as he looked down at his hands. "This… is excellent. I've finally attained the next level of Super Saiyan! I'M NOT A NOBODY ANYMORE! HAHAHAHA! YES!" Daikon was confused seeing the joyous display that Vegta was putting on, but the young Super Saiyan 3 quickly grew serious and again locked eyes with Daikon.
"And who better to try this new power out on you," he said coldly. "The next round starts now!" Vegeta quickly disappeared from sight, leaving Daikon bewildered.
"Damn it! Such speed!" cried Daikon. But it wasn't long until he saw Vegeta again.
"Take this!" he yelled. He pulled his fist back and slammed it into Daikon's gut with such force that it sent the time traveler flying through at least 3 mountains behind him. "Heh, I guess I hit the bastard a bit too hard." But it wasn't enough to keep Daikon down. A giant explosion appeared where Daikon had stopped after being hit, and he was charging full speed straight for Vegeta.
"You sonofabitch!" he yelled. "Do you think you can still defeat me, the Legendary Super Saiyan! HAAAAAAAAA!" Vegeta stood his ground, just waiting for Daikon to come at him. And just as Vegeta was about to get slammed by Daikon's fist, he vanished yet again, and instantly reappeared behind him.
"HA!" With a chop to the back of his neck, Daikon lurched forward, surprised by the sneak attack. He quickly turned around, the rage building in his eyes.
"WHY YOU… UHF!" Daikon was met with an elbow to the face, snapping his neck back. But Vegeta didn't stop there. Vegeta started pummeling his opponent, releasing a flurry of punches onto every part of his body. There was no way that Daikon could defend himself.
"Come on!" mocked Vegeta. "Fight back! Come on! I thought you were the Legendary Super Saiyan! You friggin pansy!" BWOK Vegeta then jumped and kicked Daikon in the chin, causing him to soar up into the air. Vegeta began powering up, and then released a volley of ki blasts into the air, each and everyone connecting with Daikon.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed in agony. Vegeta leapt forth from the ground and flew into the smoke surrounding Daikon, coming face to face with him.
"Let's see what YOU'RE made of," challenged Vegeta. He put his hands together, and directed it towards Daikon's face, just inches from touching it. Daikon couldn't move a muscle though, be it from fear that Vegeta would kill him right then and there or that he had become incapacitated completely. But regardless, Vegeta released his attack, point blank. "FINAL SHINE!"
The beam carried Daikon, and didn't stop until he collided with a mountain, partially crumbling it. Vegeta couldn't help but laugh.
"HAHAHAHA! This is great!" he laughed. "So much power is in my hands now! This guy is just leftovers now. I think it's about time I finish him." Vegeta then flew down into the opening created by the collision, but once he entered it, he realized what he had walked into.
"This is where that bastard must've been hiding out!" he exclaimed. "Which means… Goku and Goshin are in here somewhere!" Then out of the shadows and rubble, Daikon emerged.
"How perceptive of you, Vegeta," he said. He was clutching his right shoulder which had a giant, bloody gash from colliding with the mountain. He was covered in dust and blood, his clothing almost ripped completely to shreds. "You were not supposed to see this though."
"Like it matters now," replied Vegeta. "It's all over Daikon. There's no chance for you. Give up right now, and I'll make your death very quick and painless."
"Heh-heh, it's not over yet Vegeta," he answered in a raspy voice. "Not when I still have my ultimate attack still up my sleeve."
"HA! Please, spare me!" laughed Vegeta. "To think that you can do anything to harm me now, especially in my Super Saiyan3 form, is a crock."
"But remember that you have sustained serious injuries as well Vegeta," he replied. "You'll run out of power soon if you're not careful." Vegeta was just about to make another snide remark when he noticed something. Daikon's left hand was slightly glowing. "What the…?"
Daikon noticed that Vegeta was staring at his hand and decided to act. "MY ULTIMATE ATTACK! METEOR PULSE!" Daikon removed his hand from his shoulder and stuck out his arm. Instead of an actual ki blast coming forth, several blue rings of ki shot forth, more like a pulse of energy.
Each one had a direct hit on Vegeta since he had no time at all to move, nor did he expect Daikon to release the attack right then and there. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" maniacally laughed Daikon. "The future has finally been changed! Vegeta is no more! Now for the other one!"
"Aren't you getting just a bit ahead of yourself?"
Daikon's eyes grew wide as he looked into the smoke, and out of it popped Vegeta, and before Daikon could even blink, Vegeta's fist connected into his cheek sending him sprawling across the floor.
"Im-impossible!" he yelled. "I trained so long perfecting that attack!"
"It might have made an effect if I hadn't transformed," said Vegeta. "but as a Super Saiyan 3, I'm just too much for you to handle." Vegeta's gaze moved to right behind Daikon. Sitting there was his time machine. "So I'm guessing this is how your sorry ass got here."
Daikon didn't say a word. He was in total shock that his final attack was in vain. "Well then," continued Vegeta. Let's make sure you don't get back." BOOM With one quick ki blast, Vegeta destroyed the time machine leaving Daikon with a look of sheer terror on his face.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" he bellowed. I…I can never go back."
"It doesn't matter," replied Vegeta. "Did it ever occur to you that time doesn't work in the way you thought it did?"
"Wha-what are you talking about?" stuttered Daikon.
"I mean that this is not your timeline. Time is constant, it cannot be altered. All you've done is entered another timeline. Killing one of us would not have changed anything in your future, only in ours. So you see, you've done this all for nothing."
"No. NO!" he yelled. "This, this couldn't have all been in vain." Daikon slowly stood up. "YOU ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO DIE! I AM THE STRONGEST!" With the very last bit of ki he still possessed, Daikon charged up and flew straight for Vegeta.
But the young Saiyan just raised his hand and summoned up an enormous amount of ki. The sheer force repelled Daikon from him. "Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta finally released the attack, exploding in Daikon's face.
"HYOOOOOOOOOO-!" The entire mountain lit up, but amazingly, the attack was contained to only a few feet, totally obliterating Daikon.
Once the light dissipated, all that was left was a small pile of ashes at Vegeta's feet. "I guess the crazy bastard couldn't accept his defeat," he said to himself. "But now it's time I get Goku and Goshin out of here."
Amazing! Daikon has finally been defeated! With Vegeta's sudden transformation into a Super Saiyan 3, Daikon was no match for him! Now Vegeta must find where Goku and Goshin have been hidden. Will they still be alive, or has the gas-filed chamber that has entrapped the Saiyan brothers been their undoing? Find out in the next chapter of DragonBall AF!
