Episode 5 Attack of General Yoku

Goten stood near the first house of the village. It was more a hut than a house. I it was basically an igloo, but made of mud and sand instead of ice. Trunks, Gohan, Uub and Pan ran up to him. "What if this is a village for those weird soldier things that captured us before?" – Uub asked.

"Then we will get captured again" – Gohan said.

"But if we don't, we will die out here" – Gohan said.

"You are right! We have to go in!" – Goten said and ran in between all of the houses. Once he was in he saw that everyone was gone. The village was empty.

"Hello?" – Goten shouted. No answer.

The other ran in behind him.

"Where is everybody?" – Pan asked.

"I don't know Pan" – Gohan answered.

"It's alright. It isn't Anu'Racs!" – a strange voice shouted. Then creatures started flooding out from the houses, they had been hiding in. Soon they were surrounded. Goten took a closer look at one of the citizens. It looked a little like a namekian, but instead of green skin, it was sand colored and dark brown. It had small horns instead of antennas, and its ears weren't pointy. It was also holding a walking stick.

"Hello visitors!" – said the one Goten had been looking at.

"Ehm… Hi…" – Trunks said confused.

"I don't mean to be rude, but… what are you?" – Gohan asked cautiously.

"We are Carunians, the inhabitants of this planet" – the creature said.

"Really? You don't look like the inhabitants we've meet" – Goten said.

"That must be the Anu'Racs" – said another one.

"Who?" – Trunks asked.

"Why don't I tell you the entire story?" – said the one with the walking stick.

"That would probably be best" – Gohan said.

"But first, you must all be hungry!" – said another one of the creatures and led them into the largest of the huts. Inside there was a large table that was at least 20 feet long and reached all the way down to the other end of the room. Gohan, Goten, Pan, Trunks and Uub all sat down on a bench next to the table, which soon was filled with plenty of food. The creature with the walking stick sat down in front of them.

"First, my name is Elder Racia" – said the creature.

"Mgh… Trunks… Ghmm…" – said Trunks with his mouth full.

"Uub" – said Uub.

"Mgh…. Hm…. Goten…. Argh…" – said Goten also with his mouth full.

"Gohan" – Gohan said.

"Ehm... Pan" - she said nervously.

"Long ago, there were two main races on our planet. The Carunians and the Anu'Racs, not that we enjoyed each other's company, but they were too primitive to organize an attack and we were too peaceful" – Elder Racia.

"I think we are gonna need some more food!" – said Elder Racia cheerful.

A couple of Carunians carried in some more plates. "Where was I?" – The Elder asked himself.

"Oh yes, then Aku and his henchmen came to our planet" – said Elder Racia sad.

"Who is Aku?" – Uub asked.

"He is a great evil. He is a very strong fighter, his father was afraid of him and locked him away, but Aku broke free and killed his father when he was still a child. He traveled the universe and enslaved every living being. Right now he lives on planet Caruna, he has paid the Anu'Racs to serve him and kill us, the Carunians" – said the Elder sad.

"Then why are you helping us? How do you know we aren't some Akus henchmen?" – Goten asked.

"When Aku came here, an oracle spoke a prophecy that 6 warriors from a different galaxy would come to this village and fight Aku!" – Elder Racia said happily.

"You think that's us? We are just waiting for our friends to come and get us back home!" – Trunks said.

"It has to be" – Elder Racia said definitely.

"But we are only 5" – said Pan.

"Yes, that does present a problem… There wouldn't happen to be another one in your group?"

In Akus palace:

(All dialogue in this section is translated into English)

"That takes care of that!" – said General Yoku.

"General!" – said the recruit that had just taking the soldiers body away.

"Yes?" – said the general.

"I found this in one of his pockets!" – said the recruit and held up a small device that looked like a radar.

"Oh… It seems that he placed a tracker on one of them" – said General Yoku. "I have to find these freaks! If one of them was actually able to break those ropes, then I must dispose of him as quickly as possible, I can't let anyone endanger my position, if Aku found about someone being this strong he could get very angry" – Yoku thought. "Gather the troops. We leave at nightfall!" – said General Yoku.

Back in the Carunian village:

"Yeah, we have one. He thought this might be a trap so he is waiting outside the village" – said Goten.

"Well, should we invite him in?" – asked the elder.

"No, don't worry, he doesn't seem like the kind of type who eats or sleeps" – said Pan thoughtful.

"Oh well, you must be tired, I will show you where you can sleep" – the Carunian elder let them into a small room with 6 beds.

"Well, we were expecting 6 of you, but…" – said the elder.

"Thank you so much for everything" – said Gohan.

After the elder had left, the all sat down on a bed.

"So what do we do?" – Uub asked.

"Do you mean: do we fight this guy or disappoint an entire race and maybe sentence them to slavery and death?" – Gohan asked.

"Sure it might be easy for you, but me and Pan have never actually had a "real" fight in our lives" – said Uub.

"No matter what, we can't let them down, look at how nice they have been to us" – said Pan.

"Guess you are right… Goodnight everybody" – Uub said. As Uub took of his weighted boots and vest he noticed something. On the inside of his boot there was attached a small metal thing. "Wonder what this is?" – He thought and lightly threw it out the window.

A couple of hours later:

Uub was awoken by a giant explosion. "What was that?" – Uub thought. He got up and looked out the window, hundreds of Anu'Racs was running around with their weapons and shooting at everything.

"Everybody get up!" – He shouted. He ran to Gohans bed and shook him violently.

"Wake up!" – he shouted in Gohans sleeping face.

"Ugh… What… Whats going on?" – Gohan asked very confused.

"The village! Its under attack!" – Shouted Uub.

"What? No way!" – Gohan said.

"Yes! Help me wake the others!" – Uub shouted. Soon all of them were awake and then they ran outside.

"Lets go!" – Gohan shouted and they all took off and started slaying Anu'Racs. The soldiers were very strong and specifically Pan was having trouble, Sometimes Gohan or Goten even had to help her out. Even though most of the Z fighters were much stronger than the soldiers, there was just too many and soon they were back to back and surrounded by the soldiers.

"What now?" – Trunks asked.

"I don't know" – Goten answered.

The circle of Ana'Racs that surrounded the young Z-fighters was broken by another Anu'Rac and he stepped into the middle in front of Trunks, but he was different from the others, his clothes looked more like leaders clothes, and he had a small medal strapped to his chest. "Era uoy eht seno ohw depacse ym sreidlos?" - asked General Yoku.

"What?" –Trunks

"Ah! You speak English. Are you the ones who escaped my soldiers? Are you the ones who killed 2 of them and injured the last one?" – he asked calmly.

"Well, yeah I guess that's us!" – Goten said jokingly.

"Which one of you broke the ropes?" – he asked.

"Eh… That was me" – said Uub and stepped forward.

"You don't look like much… Well then, fight me! If you win, I will leave this village" – said General Yoku

"Lareneg!" – said one of the few soldiers that understood English.

"Tnod yrrow eh tnow niw" – said General Yoku.

"So shall we get started?" – asked General Yoku.

"Alright! But we fight outside the village!" – said Uub.

"Fine" – General Yoku agreed.

"Should we help him?" – Goten asked.

"Only if it becomes necessary" – Gohan answered. Uub led General Yoku and the others outside the village. "This guy is super strong, I don't know if I can take him alone, I don't even know if I can take him on if the others help me… I better lead him towards the place we left Hogosha" – Uub thought. Soon they were out of the village, but Uub knew he had to continue, if Hogosha should have a chance at helping them.

"This is far enough! Let us fight!" – General Yoku said about a mile from the village.

"First let us introduce ourselves" – General Yoku said and bent over. "I am General Yoku the leader of the Anu'Racs" – he said.

Uub bent over as well. "I am Uub, apprentice of the great Go...!" – he said with a proud voice, but was interrupted by Yoku who swiftly speeded forward and smashed his elbow in Uubs neck, which made Uub scream in pain.

"Argh! You are not supposed to attack when I am introducing myself!" – Uub shouted.

"And you are not supposed to trust your opponents! Now get up, so I knock you back down!" – Yoku said.

Uub slowly got up, and as soon as he was standing upright, Yoku lunged his fist at the young man, but Uub managed to jump to safety.

"How do you like that?" – Uub asked.

"I don't like that at all!" – He said with an angry voice. He appeared behind Uub and kicked towards his side, but Uub was quicker and moved out of the way. Yoku kept throwing punches and kicks towards Uub, but nothing seemed to hit, Yoku was just too slow.

"Had enough yet?" – Uub asked.

"Not quite!" – Yoku said. "You see, I have far more than I have shown to you!" – he said. He slowly moved his hands to his back, then he moved his arms a bit, and it sounded like he had opened some kind of metal buckle.

"What are you doing?" – Uub asked nervously.

The general kept repeating this process all the way down his back. Then he grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled it off. What had looked like a tight fitting silver shirt, turned out to be a weighted metal vest. "You never heard of weighted clothing before?" – Yoku asked and dropped his vest to the ground which made a significant crater in the rough sand.

"Of course!" – Uub said and bent down to strap off his weighted boots, only to realize that he was barefooted. "Oh yeah, I took it off before I went bed" – Uub said.

Yoku stormed against Uub, now much faster than before and much faster than Uub. His fist hit Uub like hammers on an anvil, and soon Uub was too damaged to fight.

"You prepared to quit yet?" – Yoku asked.

"Just… Give… me… a… minute…" – Uub said while breathing heavily.

"We have to help him" – whispered Pan to the others.

"Yeah, but how? If Uub can't hurt him, how will we?" – Trunks whispered back.

"You guys distract, and I will hit him with all I got" – Gohan answered.

"Do you think it will be enough?" – Goten asked.

"I hope so" – Gohan answered.

Goten, Pan and Trunks took off against Yoku.

"KA"

Pan was the first to reach him, and she was quickly knocked away like an insignificant fly.

"Are you trying to cheat or something?"

"ME"

Goten and Trunk transformed into SS1, and then stormed against Yoku, Goten kicked him right on the neck, but Yoku didn't even react.

"HA"

Yoku then grabbed Goten with both hands and started to squeeze him. But Trunks came to his rescue by firing a small ki blast right to Yokus gut.

"ME"

Yoku kicked Trunks which sent him flying into the ground.

"HA"

Yoku then punched Goten in the stomach so he was pummeled into the ground.

"ME"

Uub managed to muster up the strength to plant on last kick on Yokus kneecap, which made him fall to his knees.

"HAA!" – Gohan finished his attack which hit Yoku right in the stomach, the explosion was enormous, and the entire area was filled with smoke.

"You did!" – Pan shouted.

"Yes!" – Trunks shouted.

"HAHA!" – Yoku grinned. "Did you think that little display of fireworks could harm me? HAHAHA!" – Yoku shouted. As the smoke cleared, they could see that Yoku was still very much alive, he was back on his feet and strangling Uub. "Once I am done with this guy, it's your turn!" – Yoku said, when suddenly a small ki beam pierced right through Yokus chest.

Authors note:

Who killed Yoku? Was it Goku? Or was it someone completely new?
