Chapter 17: A Hefty Decision
"You are going to pay for all that you have done…" Goku yelled as he tried to keep up with Ornichi's fast moves.
"You really think so… Heeyaaa!" Ornichi yelled and with much more force started hitting Goku, who was now unable to keep up and was taking direct hits on his body… The strongest Pure Breed Saiyan in existence was now a few hits away from his ultimate demise …
Ornichi hit Goku in his chest driving the air out of his body. He started punching his stomach and as he did blood started coming out from Goku's mouth. He then quickly grabbed him by his hair and whispered in his ears, "Wanna kiss goodbye?"
With full force Ornichi threw Goku high up in the air and a few seconds later his Carycon beam followed him… It seemed that Goku finally had reached his end, Piccolo couldn't see any more he looked down and closed his eyes praying for a miracle to happen, and sometimes wishes do come true, now don't they?
Chiaotsu gave a gasp of disbelief as the Carycon returned straight towards its master and hit him face first making him crash into a nearby mountain… As Piccolo looked up he saw the smoke clear and out of it emerged none other than Goku who was standing tall, high up in the air. Smoke arose from his fist with which he had just punched the beam that was about to send him off to the next dimension. He looked as if he had never entered the battle till now. His energy level was at its maximum… Piccolo was amazed but suddenly he sensed another great power which drove away all the questions that arose in his head, he looked up behind him and saw the other Pure breed Saiyan who held a pouch in his hand, which was open…
Goku and Vegeta came down to Piccolo, Krillin and Chiaotsu… "Hey Krillin buddy…" Goku said taking his head into his arms, "See the Sensu beans are here, you are going to be okay..." He said and stretched his arm in front of Vegeta, who didn't make any movement…
Goku looked at him and said, "Hey Vegeta! One bean please…" He got no response from the Saiyan prince…
Goku slowly putting Krillin's head on the ground stood up and faced Vegeta, "What's the matter with you? Can't you see he needs one?" He said with a little anger in his tone. After a short pause, Vegeta looked at the short figure which lay behind Goku, he then turned back towards him and replied, "I have only two left…"
"So? Give me one…" Goku said now irritated…Vegeta again was unresponsive, it was as if he had lost sense of everything, his mind was not where it should be, physically he was right there in the battlefield but mentally he was somewhere else, someplace dark…
"Vegeta, this is no time for our personal indifferences to get the better of us. You know Krillin will die unless you give him a Sensu bean…" Goku tried again in order to make Vegeta change his mind, but it seemed futile…
"Kakarot… Don't you think we need to save it for latter? Wasting these on a weakling just because he's your friend…" Vegeta was cut in between as Goku now boiled in anger. Too long Vegeta tested his patience but not any more, "He's not a weakling, you understand? He is one of he strongest fighter's earth has. Now are you giving me those Sensu beans or shall I make you give it to me?"
Vegeta was about to reply to this offer but Piccolo interfered, "Hey both of you, stop fighting with each other like little girls and concentrate on how to defeat the big guy, will you?" He said pointing behind them towards the broken mountain pieces which were shaking furiously…Ornichi rose, once again…
"You all will die…" He yelled and made his way towards them with full speed…
"Damn you Vegeta!" Goku exclaimed powering onto his third level of transformation and quickly rushed towards Ornichi. Vegeta ignored his remark and threw a Sensu bean towards Piccolo, "You can save yourself or you can save your friend" He said and keeping the pouch, which contained the last Sensu bean, safely in his pocket also transformed into his newly acquired level of SS3…
Goku who was having a one – on – one with Ornichi was now joined with Vegeta... Even though the pure breeds had indifference in opinions just a few seconds ago, they still fought together to bring down the strongest foe they had ever teamed up against…
Piccolo meanwhile was having trouble making up his mind… "Should I give it to Krillin? But will he be able to defend Goku and Vegeta? I am much stronger… Should I…" These were the thoughts filling up his Namekian head… Then hastily Piccolo made a decision, a decision which only some can make in a situation like this…
