Episode 15 Showdown!

Aku was already quite a bit bigger than Uub, but as he powered up, he seemed to grow even further. Unlike Uub he was doing his transformation in utter silence, it almost looked comically with a huge aura flaring around him, and not a sound escaping his lips. His transformation seemed to go on and on, and his ki with it. Uub had been well trained to sense energies by Goku, but Aku's power was pushing Uub's limits. The transformation didn't stop till he was twice the height of small Uub. His horns had also doubled their length and seemed incredible deadly now. His skin was now also decorated by small inscriptions that looked like it was carved into his flesh. He was breathing heavily and Uub was speechless. Aku smirked and launched himself at Uub, he grabbed by his sides and slammed him into the ground. Then Aku lifted him up by the neck and slammed his knee into Uub's abdomen several times.

"Get it together Uub! You are still stronger than him, I believe in you!" - shouted Goku. Uub and Aku both looked up and saw Goku floating next to Hogosha. While Aku was puzzled why his previous opponent was now alive, Uub took the opportunity to free himself of Aku's grip. Then he did a somersault in the air, and his foot collided with Aku's chin, which caused him to lose his footing. "Argh!" - shouted Aku, as Uub's placed a couple punches in to his stomach. Then Uub grabbed Aku's horns and threw him into the sky.

"Goku! Check on the others and then get Dende, so he can heal them!" - shouted Uub to his master, while Aku was still soaring through the air. Goku nodded and flew towards the crater that Aku's previous attack had caused.

Aku stopped himself in the air. He looked down at his opponent with a wondering gaze. A few moments ago, he had Uub on the ropes, but then this Goku shouted something to him, and he Aku was the one taking the beating. Aku had extremely well trained senses, and ki wise they were fairly equal and that worried him. He knew he would have to trick this Uub somehow, if he wanted to be sure to win and still have enough power to find the little girl with the dragon balls. For now, Aku would just have to keep fighting him, and see where things went. With that in mind, he hurled himself toward the prepared Uub.

Uub blocked Aku's attack, but a punch from the left had he not expected, and so that him straight in the face. But as a counter Uub managed to plant a fist in Aku's side, it didn't do much damage, but it did give Uub the opportunity to get behind him, where he planted an elbow into Aku's back. Which caused Aku's to scream in pain. He was quick to turn around though, and there he grabbed Uub and slammed his forehead into Uub's head. Uub was dizzy for a minute, but when was back to himself, he prepared to ki blast in each of his hands and fired them into Aku's ribcage. With that they were launched from each other and they were no more than 20 feet from each other, when they both simultaneously fired a large ki beam, the two beams collided and the shockwave caused Hogosha to get knocked back in the air.

The two fighters both sustained their beams for as long as they could, and as Aku had thought they were exactly evenly matched. So Aku started planning away to trick Uub, so Aku could win.

They stopped their beams at the same time, and then they launched against each other. When the clashed another shockwave erupted and again Hogosha was knocked back and the structures around them were even further destroyed. They exchanged blows for a couple seconds, until Aku placed his feet against Uub's chest and launched himself backwards. From there he fired hundreds of small ki blasts. Uub blocked them all forcing them to fly in all directions. Unfortunately one of them hit Hogosha square in the chest, and as powerful Aku currently was, it almost killed Hogosha and certainly knocked him unconsciousness. Aku didn't notice this right away, but Uub did. "Hogosha!" - screamed Uub as the guardian fell to the ground.

As he landed on the ground the backpack left his hand, and the balls were spread all over the sands. This, however, caught Aku's attention.

On earth:

Goku had just emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He immediately scanned the area for Dende and his senses quickly found him. He stormed towards and grabbed him by the arm. "Dende! We need your help, right now!" - Goku said and after Dende had agreed, Goku began to run towards the entrance to the chamber. But that is when a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. "Goku! Are you there?" - King Kai asked him telepathically. "King Kai? Yeah, I am here but I am kind of in a hurry" - said Goku surprised. "That's why I am contacting you. I have something I know you will need" - King Kai said mystically.

On Caruna:

Aku now had a plan in mind. It was cheap, but if it worked he would get everything he wanted. He decided to keep his distance from Uub and mainly fire ki blast and beams. Uub was not happy with this. His training with Goku was only half done, and so far they had mainly been concentrating on physical combat. Therefore, whenever he had the chance he would dash to Aku and land a few punches. Sometimes Aku would dodge them and every time he did, he made sure to seem exhausted.

"Okay Uub! You have fought well! But it is time to end this!" - shouted Aku. He started powering up and his aura flared out unnecessarily big. Because of his power large gust of wind were thrown all around him. They started lifting sand of the ground, and it was thrown all across the desert floor, where it covered everything on the ground, even Hogosha was almost covered in sand when Aku finished.

"Ready?" - Aku smiled with a grim smile on his face. "ABSOLUTE DARKNESS!" - shouted Aku. Hogosha was too beaten up to talk, but he thought "That was the attack he beat me with". As before everything was engulfed in darkness. Even the three suns seemed to be darkened. When everything was covered in blackness, Uub prepared himself for an assault. But it didn't come in the form he expected, instead the darkness itself began attacking him. It kept tearing and ripping at him. It was as bad as he would have thought, but it never seemed to end! Since he couldn't see Aku anywhere he couldn't stop it either. "Enough!" - shouted Uub and allowed his aura to flare out. Slowly but surely the darkness disappeared. When it had cleared and Uub could see again, he noticed that Aku was on the ground and severely exhausted. "No! That was meant to finish you off!" - screamed Aku and with one last burst of anger he launched himself at Uub. The weakened Aku didn't stand a chance against Uub, and so none of Aku's attacks landed and most of Uub's were a direct hit.

"Do you give up?" - Uub asked. He still remembered his resolve about killing him, but his anger had now subsided and he wasn't so sure. There wasn't much honor in killing a man on his knees, either.

"Never!" - screamed Aku. With his last energy he fired one beam from his hands, it was fast and Uub didn't manage to block it. However Aku was too weak to attack Uub, before Uub was ready to block it. Aku kept throwing ki bursts towards Uub and most of the were blocked.

Goku was now flying towards the crater where his friends lay. Dende was on his back because they had to hurry. Though Goku had a lot of faith in his apprentice, if Aku was anything like the enemies they had previously fought, he would have some sort of trick up his sleeve.

Him and Dende were there within seconds and Dende began to heal the warriors up. He began with Vegeta and Gohan, since they were the ones who looked the worst. He then healed Pan, but after that he was too exhausted to heal anyone else. "Heal my son you useless fool!" - shouted Vegeta. But Dende could barely stand and was in no condition to heal anyone, as Gohan explained.

Goku was staring at the battle before him with awe. Aku was on the ground and too weak to fight back. Uub had by far out powered him. "Well done Uub!" - Goku shouted as Vegeta and Gohan walked up to his side. Aku looked over to see that the warriors he thought he had killed, were alive again. "Noo! I killed you already!" - he shouted desperately. "Do you give up now?" - Uub asked again with glee on his face. "NEVER! I AM THE RULER OF THIS UNIVERSE, AND NO ONE, SHALL DEFEAT ME!" - shouted Aku with renewed energy. He lifted himself of the ground and flew a couple of meters of the ground. "I WILL SLAY ALL OF YOU" - Aku shouted intimidating. But Uub was still sure of himself. "KAME-HAME-HA!" - Uub shouted and the bright energy beam erupted from his palms. The beam was caught by Aku and it didn't knock him back much. "KAME-HAME-HA!" - shouted Goku and Gohan in unison, as their beams joined in with Uub's. Aku was pushed back further, but still not much. "FINAL FLASH" - Vegeta shouted and now his beam was helping push Aku back as well. "NOOO!" - screamed Aku as he lost control and was pushed far into space. As the Z-warriors looked into the sky the saw a small explosion at the surface of the middle sun. Finally Caruna was free.

They were all cheerful that they had faced yet another foe and had come out on top. Even though Goten, Trunks and Piccolo were still unconsciousness, their spirits were high. Gohan carried Hogosha back, Vegeta carried Trunks, Goku carried Piccolo and Pan took her backpack. Soon they were back on earth, Dende would need a small nap, before he could heal the injured, but soon they would be back to normal. All was well.

Authors note:

Glad I got that done! I might post something tomorrow.
