Chapter Four
NOW: NEAR THE MOUNTAINS
Goku and Vegeta flew side by side towards the mountainous area where Majin Zaku would apparently show up. At first, it was quiet in the air, with only Goku and Vegeta having the only noticeable power levels around. A few humans here and there, but nothing to be afraid of. Goku began to wonder if Majin Zaku was really coming. Maybe Dai Kaio had just made up an excuse for him, Vegeta and the Z Fighters to train.
And then they felt it. "Kakarot, do you…" Vegeta spoke to Goku urgently, powering up to Super Saiyan form in a flurry of yellow and orange ki. "Yes, Vegeta," said Goku, looking worried himself. "I feel the power." Vegeta nodded. It was definitely the strongest and most malevolent energy he had ever felt, from within an empty valley. Majin Zaku's energy felt strangely cold, as well, like ice. "This is Majin Zaku, is it not?" asked Vegeta. "Of course," said Goku. "Majin Buu was supposed to be the most powerful being in the universe…and this power is many times stronger than his."
NOW: THE MOUNTAINS
The two pure-blooded Saiyans atop a mountain not far from the valley Majin Zaku was in. Goku gulped. "Kakarot, we know the plan backwards and forwards," said Vegeta, getting ready for the upcoming fight. Goku nodded, transforming into Super Saiyan. "We attack as a team, and when we have him cornered, we fuse up into Gogeta." Goku nodded again, and jumped down from the mountain, falling with a little help of the Buukuu Jitsu ki flight. Vegeta followed. Goku landed behind a huge boulder, in the valley Majin Zaku was waiting in, shaking in anticipation. Vegeta landed there as well, flexing his muscles more to assure himself than Goku.
"Now…" Goku whispered. He jumped out from behind the gigantic boulder, his golden Super Saiyan hair blazing in the wind. "Lets do this!!" yelled Vegeta, running out from the other side. And there stood Majin Zaku. Waiting for the most powerful pair in the universe with a look of glee and insanity in his eye.
"Majin Zaku!" yelled Goku and Vegeta in unison. Then Goku yelled alone, "Dai Kaio has warned me of your existence. Why are you on earth?" Goku and Vegeta stared at the silent Majin. Zaku was tall, almost six feet, and he looked like how Majin Buu did in Super Buu form. Really, the only differences from Buu and Zaku were Zaku's pure white eyes, with no pupils, and his pitch black skin. Majin Zaku began to laugh.
"What pitiful power levels," he chuckled. "From what my creators spoke of, I expected you two to be much more powerful." Vegeta's eyes widened. How could such a fool insult the Saiyan Prince of weak power? He had more power than anyone!! "Answer our question!" shouted Vegeta. Goku nodded.
"Your question?" asked Zaku, walking over to the two Saiyan warriors. "You mean, why am I here? Well, the answer is quite simple, really. My creators…I was made for destruction. To kill. Bibidi and the other Wizards made me to kill you, Mr. Goku." Goku gulped, looking surprised. "Me?" he asked. "You mean you aren't here to destroy the universe or anything? You just want me?" Majin Zaku chuckled. "You believe I care about the universe? You are stupid. The Wizards made me to finish a vendetta that you began when you killed my brother." Goku looked at Vegeta. The both knew who Zaku was talking about. "You mean Majin Buu, right?"
"Of course," said Majin Zaku. "Though he was a weak brother, he was a brother." Vegeta looked appalled. "Weak?" he yelled. "Majin Buu was our most powerful foe!! How could you call him weak?!" For a while, Majin Zaku just stared at Goku and Vegeta. Finally, he spoke: "Majin Buu was powerful, but compared to me he was just a cat, or a dog. And you two, only little ants." Vegeta screamed, enraged. "I am the Saiyan Prince!!!" Majin Zaku laughed so hard he looked like he would collapse. "The Saiyans may have been warriors, but like Majin Buu, they were nothing! So, Mr. Goku, and your friend the Saiyan Prince, let us fight. That is why we are here!"
"Fine!" yelled Vegeta. He charged at Majin Zaku. "Vegeta, wait!" yelled Goku. "We're supposed to attack as a team, remember?!" Vegeta didn't even listen. He began to throw a volley of ki balls at Majin Zaku. "Stupid Saiyan arrogance…" whispered Goku. The ki balls slammed into Majin Zaku, but when the dust cleared, nothing had happened. Even from a blast of ki balls that could kill hundreds of men. Majin Zaku didn't even have a scratch. "My turn, Mr. Saiyan Prince," chuckled Majin Zaku. He ran up to Vegeta with speed Goku or Vegeta could never even imagine, but seconds before he struck, he disappeared and reappeared behind Vegeta. "Just like Mr. Goku said, stupid Saiyan arrogance. Demonic Strike." Majin Zaku's mouth opened wide, and before Vegeta could do anything, a blast of ki energy shot out of Zaku's mouth, blasting Vegeta into a cliff. "Vegeta!" cried Goku, powering up a bit, but not all the way to Super Saiyan 2. "Kakarot…" mumbled Vegeta from the side of the cliff, which had been hallowed in by the force of Vegeta's collision. Blood poured from Vegeta's mouth and forehead. "That is about 1/16 of my power," said Majin Zaku. "Now, Mr. Goku, fight me." Goku ignored Majin Zaku. "Vegeta, can you move?" he asked. "Not yet," said Vegeta. "Give me some time…I was reckless. Soon, we can fuse up." Goku nodded.
"Now," he said. "Zaku, back to you. Kamehameha!" Goku blasted a huge ki beam at Majin Zaku. "Pitiful…pitiful…" sang Zaku, easily dodging Goku's attack so fast that Goku didn't even see it happen. Goku Instant Transmission-ed so he was behind Zaku, and threw a punch. Zaku caught it in his own fist. They began to exchange blows, a one-on-one fist fight. Goku still didn't land one blow on Zaku. "Ughh," cried Goku, being punched over and over by Majin Zaku and not landing one blow himself. He flew up into the air, high above the mountains. "I need to…" he said, transforming into Super Saiyan 2 and looking down at Zaku. "…beat you! Dai Kaio demands it!" He blasted a ki beam down at Zaku, though he didn't expect to hit. It was an invitation.
Majin Zaku leaped and flew into the air at an amazing speed. He looked Goku in the eye with a laugh. "Dark Kamehameha!" he yelled, putting his hands into a Kamehameha position. Then, he fired a distinct black-colored blast that resembled a powerful Kamehameha in shape and size. It blasted towards Goku, and Goku blasted a normal Kamehameha to meet Zaku's dark version. They hit each other midair, exploding in sparks. The Dark Kamehameha took the upper hand and blasted away Goku's attack, and then Goku.
Goku shot through the air again, but not by his own doing this time. The Dark Kamehameha. He thought about just how powerful Zaku was, and apparently he was using only 1/16 of his true power. He realized the only way to beat Majin Zaku without going Super Saiyan 3, or even 4, was to fuse up with Vegeta. Now.
He stopped himself midair from the blast, focusing his ki and flying back down to the valley where he and Vegeta had first met Majin Zaku. Zaku didn't follow, he just waited for the Saiyan up above. He knew what they were going to try to do. A fusion, most likely using the Fusion Dance. Majin Zaku would let it slide. The Saiyans did need an advantage, after all.
"Vegeta!" called Goku, looking at the limp Saiyan Prince. He had been hit point blank by one of Zaku's stronger attacks. Goku believed he would probably be resting too, but he needed Vegeta's help. "Are you ready to fuse now?"
Vegeta slowly nodded, standing up with a stumble. "You need to, already? How long has it been…?" Goku breathed hard. "Only a few minutes," he said. "Majin Zaku is incredibly powerful. Dai Kaio definitely didn't overestimate him, if anything he UNDERestimated him. Gogeta is the only one who can beat him." Vegeta walked over to Goku, saying, "Zaku, you're going down…" Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan to closer his power to Goku's.
"We're getting to old for this, Vegeta," chuckled Goku, his arms crossed and his grin large. He powered up a bit to match his strength with that of Vegeta.
"No kidding, Kakarot," said Goku's old rival, with his constant frown not far. Vegeta, the Prince of Saiyans, nodded to Goku, in essence saying he was ready. Time to fuse.
The two Saiyan warriors began to do a strange, intricate dance, one made by an ancient race. A blast of yellow, orange and red ki blasted around the mountainous area, as Vegeta and Goku, the last pure Saiyans to exist, began to fuse into one being. With the Potara Fusion they would be called Vegetto, but using the Dance they would be something else…one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Suddenly, the two warriors were one, facing the pitch black Majin with a look of vengeance on their face. "Gogeta is back!!"
As Gogeta, Vegeta and Goku were about as tall as Goku, which was a bit taller than Vegeta, and wore the traditional clothing of the alien species that invented the dance. They looked a bit cocky now, despite the odds. "Come get some, Zaku!!"
