Chapter Seven

NOW: PICCOLO'S TRAINING ROOM

"So, Piccolo, how do we start it?" asked Boxers, a look of curiosity on his face. It was time for him and his best friend, Goketsu, to learn the Fusion Dance and fuse up into Goketsers. Goten and Trunks stood across the room, getting ready to fuse themselves if they needed to demonstrate.

Piccolo sighed. Time to teach. "Well, it's simple really," he said, trying his hardest to sound excited but really not succeeding. "First of all, you two need to even out your power levels. That's the only way the fusion will work." Goketsu nodded, and Boxers said, "OK." Goketsu attempted to sense Boxers' power level. His Grandpa had taught him how to do this a couple of years ago, but there hadn't been any need to use it, so he didn't have it down yet. Goketsu sensed that currently Boxers had a slightly higher power level than him. He grinned, and raised his a bit, but not enough to turn Super Saiyan.

"Good," said Piccolo. "Now, here comes the embarrassing part," he said with a laugh. "You guys are going to have to learn a dance. Goten, Trunks, I need you guys to fuse up so you can show Goketsu and Boxers the dance." The two best friends who had grown into quite the fighters began to do an intricate dance. Goketsu watched closely, and tried his hardest not to laugh.

Suddenly, a blast of light came across the room. Goten and Trunks had become Gotenks, a Saiyan warrior only second to Gogeta. "How do you guys like it?" asked Gotenks with a chuckle. Gotenks was being a braggy idiot…as usual. "Pretty strong, eh?" Goketsu and Boxers ran over to Gotenks. "Cool!!" shouted Boxers. "C'mon, Goketsu, let's fuse up and become…Goketsers!!!" Goketsu had a huge smile across his face. "Let's do it!" he said.

Goketsu and Boxers began to do the dance. Piccolo watched closely, but didn't say anything about the fact that Goketsu had missed a beat, and now the two would most likely become a weak, useless mistake. They would have to learn to pay attention to what they were doing eventually.

There was a flash of light, and a scream. "What the heck?!" he yelled. "I'm weaker than I was before!! No, I am!!!!" Piccolo and Gotenks joined in a laugh as the smoke cleared. Out came a plump, bald and short boy who looked like he could probably be the weakest fighter possible. "Hello, Boxetsu," chuckled Gotenks, giving the horrid mistake a nickname. "Well, that didn't exactly work, did it?" Boxetsu walked over to the two mentors with a mean look. "Let's start over, then. How do I get out of this transformation?" Piccolo laughed and answered, "You'll just to have to live with being a fat, useless boy for thirty minutes. Sorry!"

To Boxetsu, who was even worse at sensing power levels than Goketsu or Boxers, it seemed like out of nowhere. Gotenks looked worried, and so did Piccolo. They stopped their argument with Boxetsu. "Piccolo, do you…" Piccolo nodded grimly, automatically knowing what Gotenks was talking about. "Boxetsu, go play with video games or something while you're defusing. Me and Gotenks need to talk," said Piccolo, with a sigh. Boxetsu was obedient, this time. He understood just how serious this was.

As Boxetsu left, Gotenks spoke. "Gogeta's power level just completely disappeared…and Zaku's just grew many times bigger." Piccolo gulped. "We both know what that means," he said. "Gogeta's been absorbed." Gotenks nodded. "Who the hell is this guy?!" asked Gotenks, of Majin Zaku. "Gogeta is so strong…how could anything absorb him?" Piccolo put his hand in his face. "I don't know, Gotenks, but you can't beat him by himself." Gotenks bit his lip. "You mean…" Piccolo nodded. "Yeah, me and Kuririn are coming with." Piccolo left before Gotenks could react, walking over to the room Boxetsu was playing video games in.

"Boxetsu," he said. Boxetsu didn't answer, he just continued to play his Nintendo Pee with fat stomach hanging from his gi. "Me and Piccolo…and Kuririn too…we're going to fight Majin Zaku. I though you should know. I would let you go…but in your current form…" Boxetsu turned the television off. "Yeah, greeny, I get it. But if you guys die…" Piccolo cut Boxetsu off. "That's the reason I'm telling you, kid. Hopefully, we can survive thirty minutes without being absorbed…or worse. The second you unfuse, you need to try again. I think Goketsers may be even stronger than Gogeta or Gotenks." Boxetsu gulped. "We'll try."

17 MINUTES AGO: THE MOUNTAINS

"This is it, Gogeta!! Your final moments!!!!" Majin Zaku and Goku and Vegeta's fusion, Gogeta, battled it out, above the valleys and mountains outside of the city. "I can't let this happen!" yelled Gogeta, who was in Super Saiyan 4 form and well beaten up. "I can't let you absorb me, Majin Zaku!!!!" They'd been fighting for hours, and Gogeta had barely gotten anywhere compared to what Majin Zaku had done to him. He had at least forced Majin Zaku to his Normal form 100 power, but he couldn't get him to transform into Super Zaku or Kid Zaku. Of course, Gogeta was almost happy about this, due to the fact that Kid Zaku would be about forty-five times as strong as him, and he was already outmatched.

Gogeta threw a punch that shot through Majin Zaku's brains. Black goop floated around the area, but it quickly reformed into a pitch black head that attached itself to Zaku's body. Just like Majin Buu, Majin Zaku was able to regenerate, and it was posing quite a problem. By now, Gogeta probably would have killed any other enemy in the universe a thousand times over, but Majin Zaku was uncannily strong.

"Why?" Gogeta finally said. "I know you wanted to kill Goku, half of me…but why are you going to try to absorb us then?" Majin Zaku gave Gogeta a knowing, yet humorous look. "This fight…it exhilarated me. No one's ever even forced me to 1/4 power, let alone 100. I think I'll just destroy all of the inhabitants of earth, one by one, once I absorb you. It'd be fun! Then, I'll spit you out and kill you," he said insanely. "You creep!" said Gogeta. "I can't put earth in the hands of a wild beast like you! I'm gonna' finish this now!!! Genki Dama!!!!!!!!"

Gogeta formed a huge Spirit Bomb above his head, using one of Goku's attacks. The most powerful attack in the universe. He gathered energy from everything, the people, the trees, the air…EVERYTHING…and formed it into the ball. "This is the end of the line, Zaku," he smirked. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Genki Dama blasted towards Zaku, explosions coming even from being near the legendary attack. It slammed into Zaku, pieces of black flesh blasting around the mountains.

"That's it…" said Gogeta, happily. "I killed Majin Zaku!!!!!" he cried, flexing his muscles and laughing. "I knew I could…" Suddenly, he was cut off. "No, you didn't, Mr. Gogeta," said a laughing voice. "Thank you, for destroying my body. Nobody's done that…ever." The pieces of black flesh suddenly reformed, into the demonic form that was Majin Zaku. There wasn't even a scratch on his face.

"As you said, this is the end of the line. Super Demonic Strike!!!" Two red rays of light blasted from Zaku's eyes at incredible speed. Gogeta wasn't ready. He hadn't even had time to react to Majin Zaku being alive. The beams shot through Gogeta's stomach. Blood poured out. Majin Zaku flew over to the dying body.

"How…cough, cough…" said Gogeta. "did…cough…you survive?" Gogeta coughed up blood. "Who knows?" laughed Zaku. "Let's do this." He ripped a piece of his black flesh off, and threw it at Gogeta. It covered Gogeta in black slime as Gogeta screamed. Soon, Gogeta was but a ball of black slime.

"Heheheh…" said Majin Zaku, eating Gogeta. "Now, I'm unstoppable!!!!"
