Episode 23 A Dream Come True, Part 2

"Ha! Just so you know who killed you, my name is Posset" - the incredible creature said in a hissing voice. In a flash, Posset had appeared behind them, and with two quick swoops, Goku and Vegeta were both on the floor. Posset and smiled and walked over to the already trashed corner of the dark room.

With huge energy blast he destroyed even more of what was left of Vegito's mind. "HAHAHA! In just a few minutes I will be free!" - the horrific monster exclaimed. As Posset slammed another fist the black abyss a sudden bright light seeped out between the brick and shone him in his face.

"I have done it! I am free!" - Posset cried with a smile on his lips.

On the kai planet:

The elder kai stumbled back as a light erupted from Vegito's chest. "It is happening! This is it" - he said as he began to run away. Vegito exploded in a blinding flash. Both of the kai's were knocked off their feet due to the sheer size of the blast. As the explosion resided, the kai's dared to look back at where Vegito had been. Three figures were lying in the crater.

"Goku? Vegeta?" - Kibito kai asked surprised.

"Who is the last guy?" - the elder kai asked, just as baffled as the younger kai. None of them had expected this outcome. They both walked closer to the crater and saw what was lying in the crater. They faces were suddenly etched with terror, but as the person got up, they were even more scared.

"I guess, it literally split Vegito apart..." - Kibito kai said in amazement.

When the young god sensed the creatures power, he realized there would nothing they could do without Goku and Vegeta.

"Elder kai! Wake those two up! I will distract that freak!" - he shouted and in a flash, he was at full power. The fused god fired a beam from his hands, it was nothing compared to Posset's incredible strength, but since the monster was still recovering it did more damage than it would have done otherwise.

Posset was send flying over the landscape, and Kibito kai quickly pursued. He landed as many punches as he could, but as soon Posset recovered from Kibito kai's beam, he grabbed Kibito kai at his shoulders.

"Come on... Get back up!" - elder kai said as he shook Vegeta. He moved slightly at the elder kai's efforts, but it didn't take long before he was fully awake. "Ugh.. What is going on? Elder kai?" - Vegito asked surprised. "Yes it is me. Now go help Kibito kai!" - elder kai shouted and signaled to the battle.

Vegeta quickly soared into the fight and tried to help Kibito kai, but by the time Vegeta was there Kibito kai was face down on the ground. The old god had reached Goku and tried his best to wake him up. "Goku! Goku! Get up!" - he shouted at Goku's unconscious face. "Mhmmm... Steak.. What?" - Goku mumbled as he woke up.

"What is going on?" - Goku asked and quickly got to his feet. "I'll explain later. Help Vegeta now!" - said the elder kai and gestured to the fight at hand. The young kai had fallen and Vegeta was sizing up his enemy. He and Goku had already seen his power first hand, but somehow it seemed different now. "Well Vegeta are you just going to stand there?" - Posset asked.

"I guess I will have to take matters into my own hands in that case!" - Posset shouted and launched at Vegeta. Just before Posset reached him, Vegeta transformed into super saiyan 3. With his now long golden hair flowing down his back, he caught the nightmare's fist. "You are weaker" - Vegeta said simply, before back handing Posset away. Vegeta soared after him, and before Posset hit the ground, Vegeta had reached him. The saiyan kicked him into the air, but it didn't take long before Posset regained control of his flight, as he did he launched a giant ki beam from his palms towards Vegeta. "Endless Nightmare" - Posset cried as the black energy poured from his palms.

When it reached Vegeta, he brought up his arms to block it at the very last second. It collided with his raised arms with an enormous shockwave. But Vegeta did not relent. He pushed against the assault and got closer and closer to Posset. "NO! I was much stronger than you!" - Posset screamed and cancelled his attack.

Vegeta merely smirked. "Not anymore!" - Vegeta said with a smirk. Vegeta appeared behind Posset and smashed his fist straight into Posset protruding backbone. A cry of pain escaped the nightmare's lips, as a loud crack sounded from his back. Vegeta then continued his assault with powerful kick to Posset's ribs.

"I don't get it. He was much stronger earlier!" - Goku said. Kibito kai had gotten back on his feet and had stumbled over to Goku. "Heh. I am glad it worked" - the god spoke in cracked voice.

"What worked?" - Goku asked surprised.

"The elder kai taught me a way to lock away a person's power. It seemed it worked" - Kibito said, with a hint of pride.

"That is amazing! Is it permanent?" - Goku asked, intrigued about the technique.

"As long as I can keep the spell up, then yeah" - Kibito kai said.

"What? You!" - Posset cried. Apparently he had overheard them.

With a roar of anger, Posset launched himself towards Kibito kai. The kai was too surprised to even move, and so, when Posset reached him, his chest was penetrated by Posset's fist.

As if the energy had been trapped inside Kibito kai, Posset's power suddenly rose. "Hahaha! Yes! I am strong!" - Posset said in a mad voice. Goku realized that Vegeta was outmatched and flew up to help him. "No! I will finish this!" - Vegeta shouted at Goku.

"But... He is much stronger than you!" - Goku said, trying to appeal to Vegeta's logical side.

"I should have weakened him enough earlier, to defeat him" - Vegeta said. Goku shook his head and took off, to let Vegeta fight on his own. Instead he went to help Kibito kai. He had been death on the spot, and as a result a yellow ring of light was forming above his head, and floated just a few inches above his head.

"What happened?" - The now deceased kai asked.

"Posset killed you" - Goku said and helped the kai get back on his feet.

"Oh.. That is okay. As a kai, it doesn't really make that big of difference" - The younger kai shrugged. The elder kai had walked up to them to spectate the fight. "Vegeta will not defeat him. Although Posset did get weakened by their earlier fight it was nowhere near enough" - the elder kai said, in a calm voice.

"Then I will have to step in" - Goku said cheerfully.

"Hmm... I don't think you can beat him either, he is still incredibly strong" - the elder kai said as he shook his head.

On earth:

Uub was worried. He didn't want his master to die. Although he probably couldn't do much to help Vegito, he wasn't helping anyone by staying here anyway. Goten and Gohan had both gone home, and so had Trunks. But he could not go home. Goku was his home, if he died, then he would have nothing.

"I am going to help" - Uub said to no one in particular.

"Why? I don't think there is much you can do" - Dende asked.

"Perhaps not much. But here I can't do anything at all! I might as well try to help" - Uub answered and prepared himself for instant transmission.

"I am going as well" - Piccolo said stepping forward and placed his hand upon Uub's shoulder.

"You sure?" - Uub asked.

"I am sure" - Piccolo answered.

"Alright. Then I just need to find Vegito's energy. Wait... That isn't Vegito. That is Goku!" - Uub exclaimed happily, then he and Piccolo disappeared.

On the kai's planet:

Vegeta was using every extent of his power fighting Posset, but for every strike he dodged, two strikes hit him. He was slowly running out of energy, and Posset was only toying with him. The large monster's aggressive fighting style had forced Vegeta to fight defensively, something that was unlike the saiyan prince. With a powerful upper-cut, Vegeta was sent flying into the air. Posset pursued him into the sky and when he reached Vegeta, he kicked him back into the ground.
"And now it ends! Endless Nightmare!" - Posset cried firing his giant dark beam towards Vegeta. Vegeta was just getting on his feet when the beam collided with him.

"Vegeta!" - Goku cried as the giant beam obliterated, where Vegeta had just stood. When the dust settled Vegeta was surprisingly still standing. His body was bruised and in certain places covered in blood. "You think you can kill me that easily? Think again, freak!" - Vegeta shouted and launched himself at Posset.

After Posset's beam Vegeta's power had significantly dropped. When he reached his opponent, Posset effortlessly knocked him out of the way. The prince collided with the ground and slipped into unconsciousness.

"Guess you are up Goku!" - Posset said with a sadistic smirk.

Just when Goku was about to join the fight Uub and Piccolo appeared right behind him.

"Uub? Piccolo? What are you doing here?" - Goku asked in genuine amazement.

"You think I would let you fight this guy all by yourself?" - Uub asked with a joyful smile on his face.

"Guess you are right. But if things start to look bad, get yourself out of here!" - Goku said seriously

"Of course. But let me fight him first. Then you can have a go afterwards" - Uub said and powered up completely.

Goku nodded, as Uub surged in towards Posset.

"Who are you? Why should I fight you?" - Posset asked in a mocking manner. Instead of answering Uub launched himself at Posset, he charged his fist and sent it forward with all his strength. But it went straight through Posset's body.

"Oh, I guess I should have told you, only Goku and Vegeta can hurt me physically" - Posset said and backhanded Uub away.

"Well, that is an unfair advantage" - Uub said. "So what do you say we tip the scales a little more in my favor?" - Uub asked with a smirk.

He placed his arms at his sides and began to power up further. After a few seconds he began his transformation, as before his body changed and morphed in a painful manner, but it didn't last long before the transformation was finished. Uub opened his pitch black eyes and stared at Posset with a glare that glowed with power.

This time Uub did not attempt to fight Posset physically, instead he fired hundreds of ki blasts at Posset. The nightmare tried his best to dodge them all, but only evaded about half of them, the rest collided painfully with his body. When all the blasts had dissipated, Uub was gone.

"Where did you go?" - Posset roared angrily.

"Right here" - Uub said calmly from behind Posset.

A giant ki beam erupted from Uub's palms and it hit Posset square in the back. The monster was sent flying forwards, but quickly steadied his flight and turned to face Uub.

"Alright. No more games" - Posset said and began to power up. His aura flared out and his power climbed much higher than Uub's. When his power up was finished, his power was about double of Uub's.

"Uub! You can't fight him anymore! Let me step in!" - Goku shouted up at Uub. Even though his student was currently stronger than Goku, due to the physical contact disadvantage, Uub could not hope to fight Posset. Uub was about to answer, but that split second distraction was enough for Posset. In a flash he was behind Uub, where he sent hundreds of fist into Uub's unprotected back.

Then he sent Uub into the ground with a powerful kick. When Uub crashed into the ground, he was unconscious. Posset charged up a ki beam and prepared to send it straight at Uub. With Posset's power advantage there was no way he would survive a hit like that.

Just before Posset fired the beam Goku managed to reach Posset hit him straight in the jaw with a powerful punch. "Your fight is with me now!" - Goku said heroically. He transformed into super saiyan 3 and leaped towards Posset. When he reached him, Goku was knocked away.

"I will fight you later Goku. First I need to finish this kid off!" - Posset said cruelly.

"Endless Nightmare!" - he cried and the ki beam surged from his palms.

Piccolo did not know Uub very well, but he wasn't just going to stand there watching as Uub died. So in an act of heroism he threw himself in front of the blast.

"Piccolo!" - Goku shouted as he saw who had saved his students life. As the dust settled, you could see what kind of damage, that had been caused to Piccolo body. His body looked nothing like it had before, and it was clear that even with his namekian regeneration, he would not survive.

"You monster!" - Goku roared and fired his signature Kamehameha at Posset.

In the last second Posset managed to bring up his arms to block it. When Goku let off his attack, Posset charged in at him. Goku was surprised by his opponents sudden aggressive assault, and so he was caught off guard. Posset placed a powerful fist straight into Goku's stomach causing him to cough up blood. Then he smashed his hands into Goku's neck which caused the saiyan to cry out in pain.

"You are too weak Goku. Give up!" - Posset cried as he lifted Goku up by his neck.

"Ugh... Never!" - Goku said with clenched teeth, and blasted Posset straight in his face, which caused him to drop Goku. Goku landed on the ground with a loud thud. Posset landed next to him and smashed his foot into Goku's abdomen. He picked Goku up and threw him into a large hill about a hundred yards away.

"Endless Nightmare!" - shouted Posset as his beam collided with the hill. It exploded in a huge cloud of dirt and rubble. The cloud dissipated, revealing a severely beat up Goku. His clothes were torn, scratches and cuts covered his skin and he was bleeding from several places on his body.

Uub had awakened and was just getting onto his feet.

"Goku, no!" - Uub said as he saw the condition Goku was in.

Uub knew he could do nothing to help Goku now, he knew he just needed to get Vegeta and himself as far away as possible. The two dead kai's watched as he stumbled over to Vegeta and they disappeared in a flash.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" - Goku screamed and launched his signature beam from his hands. It zoomed in on Posset, but as it reached him, he simply knocked it away.

"No! I can't lose!" - Goku cried.

"It is too late Goku. Now you die!" - Posset shouted and flew towards Goku. When he reached him, his fist flew through the saiyans stomach. Goku fell to the ground, with a hole through his stomach, barely clinging onto life.

Goku looked up at Posset with hazy eyes. He had felt Uub and Vegeta's energies disappear, and was glad Uub had, had the sense to save himself and Vegeta.

Posset was just about to finish Goku off for good, but something stopped him. An invisible force held him in place. Suddenly a fighter soared through the air knocked the nightmare away. Just as Goku was slipping into the sweet release of death, a soothing voice whispered something in his ear.

"We will take it from here" - it said as Goku closed his eyes for the last time.

On earth:

When Uub and Vegeta had appeared on the lookout Dende had quickly healed them. Vegeta had silently left for Capsule Corp. but Uub had stayed, since he had no idea of where else to go, his life for the last seven years had been with Goku, and now he was gone. Vegeta was flying through the air, when suddenly a voice sounded in his head.

"Ehm.. Can you hear me?" - Piccolo's voice sounded in his head. Vegeta was just about to answer when suddenly, another voice answered for him.

"I hear you Piccolo" - Gohan voice answered Piccolo's question.

"What is this?" - Vegeta asked.

"I am talking to you through King kai" - Piccolo said.

"What happened to dad and you?" - Goten asked, fearing the answer.

"Vegeta, Goku, Uub and myself went to defeat this thing called Posset"

"Piccolo died saving my life, and Goku..." - Uub began, but stopped mid sentence.

"He didn't make it" - Piccolo finished.

"Did... You kill that thing?" - Trunks asked.

"No. But someone did. I can't tell you who just yet. But you will know in time" - Piccolo said mysteriously.

"They asked me to make sure that you all train. Train as hard as you can. Because this Posset... is only the beginning" - Piccolo said.

Authors note:

So yeah, that is it folks! Saga 1 has officially ended. This last chapter... I personally think it is one of the worst in the saga. I rewrote it 4 times, but I couldn't get it to sound just right. So, even if it isn't perfect, this will have to do.

About saga 2. I have already started to write it, but I am not sure whether I should start uploading. You see I am estimating for saga 2, to be about 40 chapters. Since I upload a chapter a week, and the chapters for saga would be even longer, it would be more than a 40 week project. That is a fairly huge project to start. And if I have to be completely honest, I doubt that I will still be interested in writing this story, in 40 weeks. So yeah... Still haven't decided yet.
