The Z-Fighters had arrived in Demon World. Once all seven warriors were threw the door, the door vanished.
Goku turned around and sighed.
"Well we all knew this was probably a one-way trip anyway." Goku said calmly.
Gohan looked around at the bleak landscape. The land was charred black, the rivers composed of boiling blood. The entire world looked like it was the graveyard for all manner of weapons from all the wars fought in the universe.
"So this is Dabura's domain." Gohan said.
"Anyone know where we are supposed to go?" Goten asked.
A shadow fell on the group as a black cloud passed in front of the bloated red sun that lit the world.
Bardock crossed his arms over his green-armor.
"If we keep going North we will reach him." Bardock said
"Alright then, what are we waiting for?" Gohan asked, floating above the black earth.
As soon as Gohan lifted off the ground he dropped back down.
"For some reason I can't fly properly here." Gohan said with disdain.
Goku placed a couple fingers on his forehead. Sure enough, his Instant Transmission failed to work.
"Looks like we will be walking." Goku said.
For several hours the group walked over the charred ground, their every footstep making a snapping sound. Eventually the group came to the scene of a battle. On both sides were demons of various sizes. The two opposed armies of demons crashed into each other, blood and cries of pain and rage were heard.
"What do you think they are fighting over?" Goten asked.
Nouva Shenron stepped forward and crossed his arms.
"They are fighting for Dabura's amusement, fighting a war for its own sake." The fire dragon said with disgust.
In moments the two armies were reduced to a broken and battered field of corpses, the blood of the demons flowing together into a new river.
"Now I know where the rivers here come from." Gohan thought morbidly.
As the group was about to pass threw the area, the armies of the dead somehow came back to life. The two sides snarled at each other and gripped their weapons.
"They fight for all eternity, without cause and without end." Nouva Shenron said.
"Hell if ever there was one." Trunks said quietly, somewhat disturbed.
To Goku such an idea was obscene. He lived for fighting. To him fighting was fun, either for the fun of it, or to defend those he cared about, the innocent who couldn't protect themselves. To force anyone to fight forever as an act of torture was just about one of the cruelest things Goku had ever witnessed.
"Lets hurry and get to Dabura, I've had just about enough of this place already." Goku said with disgust.
"I don't blame you Kakorot." Vegeta thought.
The group managed to sneak past the endless battlefield. The crash of thunder could be heard from above as red rain started falling from the bleak skies.
Everyone in the group wished they could fly, but for some reason, perhaps simply to torture them, Dabura had disabled flying in his domain, making them witness the sure brutality and hell of the first demon world.
For several hours the group walked and endured the harsh weather. When the rain finally abated, the harsh red sun of the world bombarded all the Z-Fighters was a harsh heat. Everyone except Nouva Shenron found the heat unpleasant, but even Nouva did not look like he enjoyed it.
"How much further until we reach Dabura?" Goten asked.
"Whats wrong Goten? Can't stand the heat?" Majuub said cruelly with a half smile to the younger son of Goku.
Goten rolled his eyes at Majuub, but otherwise ignored him.
"We still have a long way to go. I think I begin to understand why we were given a week." Bardock said with a sigh.
"Do you really think Dabura is a week's distance away?" Trunks asked.
"There is no way of knowing Trunks. The only way we will find that out is by finding him. I wish I could say more." Bardock said.
The group walked over a thin bridge of rock, below them was an unbelievably large river of lava.
Two shadows could be seen on the ground.
Vegeta was the first to notice.
"Everyone look out!" Vegeta yelled as two demons flew down and landed in the middle of the group.
One demon was blue in coloration, the other blood red. Both were humanoid and had arms which doubled as wings. The two demons had grinning gargoyle like faces.
"You shouldn't worry about reaching Dabura..because you all are going to die here and now by our hands." The red demon said.
Without warning the blue demon breathed a cone of blue flames at the Z-Fighters, creating a circle around them.
"All the foes you have vanguished..all for nothing Goku!" The red demon said mockingly.
Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, he didn't dare risk a higher transformation, as doing so could break the bridge they were standing on. Without the ability to fly they would be doomed if that were to occur.
"Goku let me handle them." Nouva Shenron said, boldly stepping threw the flames surrounding them.
"So your immune to our flames? So what, your friends aren't. Let us turn up the heat brother." The red demon said, then he and the blue demon breathed a stream of red and blue flames with increasing intensity at the Z-Fighters.
Nouva looked above at the sun present in the sky and smiled. The sun was his friend, his ally. With it present Nouva had an unlimited amount of energy to draw from.
Nouva crossed his arms over his chest in an x-pattern, lenses of a glass-like material appeared above him.
"Nova Death-Ray!" Nouva yelled, sending a beam of red energy in the red demon's direction.
The beam struck the surprised demon and destroyed him in an instant. Nouva turned around and looked at the blue demon, who had a shocked expression on his face.
"Are you going to let us pass? Or would you like to meet the same fate as your brother?" Nouva asked with a smile on his golden face.
The blue demon yelled in fear and flew off, the fires surrounding the Z-Fighters disappearing.
"Nicely done dragon." Vegeta said, quite impressed.
"Thankyou. Now, shall we continue?" Nouva asked.
With that the group continued along the stone bridge, finally reaching the other side an hour later.
Ahead was a field of red grass. Tall trees with red fruit, green leaves and red-brown trunks grew here and there.
"This is different.." Gohan said.
"It is pleasant even. Much different than the first part of this world." Goten said.
"Don't be deceived by appearences Goten." Vegeta said, hovering his foot above the red grass, which hissed and twisted below him. Tiny mouths could be seen opening on the grass.
"How are we supposed to get past this if we can't fly?" Goten asked.
"We use a cleansing flame." Nouva said.
"Nova Death-Ray!" Nouva yelled, sending a fire beam forward which cleared a path threw the hellish grass.
"I'm glad you decided to come with us Nouva." Goku said.
"I just hope this makes up for my failure against Syn." Nouva said.
Goku remembered when he first encountered the four-star shadow dragon. At the time Goku thought Nouva was an enemy, but that changed when he showed mercy to his granddaughter, not wanting to involve her in their battle. Nouva was the only Shadow Dragon who had a code of honor. He did what he did for the same reasons Goku did, for the love of the fight.
At first Goku had wondered why Nouva of all the shadow dragons had been the only one not totally consumed by evil. But then he remembered that it was the four-star ball that Nouva had come from. That dragonball had been his grandfather's. For years his grandfather had held that ball, then later Goku had.
Unlike the other dragonballs, which had stored only negative energy, the four star had also stored the positive energy of Goku's grandfather, as well as Goku himself. When Nouva was created..he alone could make the choice to serve either good or evil.
Lucky for all of them, Nouva had chosen the side of good.
The group walked over the charred, dead remains of the red flesh-eating grass as they made their way yet closer to Dabura.
Gohan looked onward, suddenly seeing the image of Piccolo.
"Why did you let me die Gohan? I was like a father to you. I thought you were my friend!" The voice of Piccolo said from the apparition.
Guilt filled Gohan.
"I had no way of helping you Piccolo? You went to fight Krysis alone!" Gohan yelled.
"Gohan who are you talking to? There is nothing there!" Goku yelled in alarm.
"No..there is definitely someone here." Bardock said, narrowing his eyes.
"Gohan help me!" The image of Piccolo said weakly before suddenly turning to stone.
The deep cruel laughter of Dabura could be heard all around them.
"Dabura! You think you can toy with me like this? Do you know what I'm capable of?" Gohan yelled angrily to the sky.
"He is trying to get under your skin man, don't let him." Trunks said.
"Gohan you must stay cool. Don't give him the satisfaction of angering you." Bardock said.
Gohan visibly calmed as the group made its way past the sinister field. Vegeta turned his attention to the fruit-baring trees.
"Immortality can be yours Saiyan Prince.." A deep voice said in Vegeta's mind.
Vegeta could not help himself. He reached up to the tree, the desire to eat one of the ruby-red fruits overpowering him.
"Yes..your quest for greatness...your desire to surpass Super Saiyan Five..are all yours." The voice said.
"No..something is wrong." Vegeta said
"Now Vegeta is doing it." Goten said.
"Father don't give in." Trunks said with concern in his voice.
"This place is driving you people crazy because your all weaklings." Majuub said.
"Majuub your not helping." Gohan said.
"Who said I wanted to help?" Majuub said.
"There is nothing wrong with reaching your deepest desires. Reach out, pluck an apple..all you desire shall be yours." The voice said.
"No. Get out of my head!" Vegeta yelled.
The deep laughter of Dabura could be heard echoing threw out the region.
"You could have been the greatest champion of darkness Vegeta. But you had to let your feelings for your family hold you back. Now look how pathetic you have become, a champion of the just and the weak." The voice said.
"I'm not the one who is pathetic..it is you..Dabura!" Vegeta yelled.
"Well done, I suppose there is no point in hiding myself any longer." Dabura said.
Suddenly a large stone circular area appeared in front of them, in the center of reach was a black throne on which everyone could clearly see Dabura. Surrounding the circle were millions of stone statues, each with expressions of pain and fear on their face.
The group walked onto the circle of stone. Dabura suddenly rose from his throne and clapped his hands in mock congratulations.
"Well done. I honestly didn't think you mortals would actually reach me. The hazards of my world combined with my restriction of your movement-enhancing abilities should have killed you. I suppose a part of me knew you would succeed, but regardless I couldn't make things easy for you..where would the fun in that be?" Dabura said, glancing at Gohan and Vegeta briefly.
"So this was all just a game to you?" Trunks asked, anger evident in his voice.
"You like my collection?" Dabura asked, ignoring Trunks and pointing to the stone statues.
"Let me guess..all your past victims?" Gohan asked.
"Indeed. I see you have not forgotten my petrification technique." Dabura said with a smile on his red face.
"How could anyone forget something that horrible?" Gohan asked.
Dabura briefly glanced at Majuub before turning his attention back to Gohan.
"Before that imp appeared in my world and forced me..a King of the demon world, to be his slave, I had entire worlds covered with such statues. Honestly when that fat pink blob killed me, I thought I was done for. But luckily for me the emperor still had a use for me. You mortals will soon witness the full fury of Dabura." Dabura said.
"Emperor?" Gohan asked.
"The king of us all. The tenth king. I believe Bardock and Trunks have some knowledge of whom I speak." Dabura said.
"Azrael." Bardock said as the crash of thunder was heard echoing in the distance.
"Correct mortal. Each of us Demon Kings represents a different shade of evil. The emperor is the darkest and more primal shade of all. Perhaps you will see why for yourselves one day..but for now mortals..you must face me." Dabura said, clutching his hands suddenly into fists.
"This fight is mine guys." Gohan said, stepping forward.
"Without fear you step into the fray Gohan, despite not knowing your enemy." Dabura said as a red glow began to surround his body.
"I've fought you before..I think I know you pretty well." Gohan said, clutching his hands into fists as he prepared to power up.
Dabura and Gohan as one yelled as each powered up. The other Z-Fighters got a good distance from the two fighters, everyone knowing the battle would likely be destructive.
Dabura was surrounded by a black and red aura. Gohan had remembered Dabura powering up, but never to this extent.
"Years ago I gave you but a glimpse of my true power. Now Gohan you see the full extent of my demonic will." Dabura said
Gohan in response transformed into his Mystic Super Saiyan Four form, red fur covering his arms, a red tail appearing, and finally the bat-like marking on Gohan's chest.
"It is impressive how much you've increased your own power, but I'm feeling pretty confident myself." Gohan said.
Dabura suddenly flew forward. He attempted to punch Gohan several times, but Gohan proved too fast with his transformation, and easily dodged each attack. Gohan brought his right fist up in the form of an uppercut and slammed Dabura hard in the chest. The demon king opened his mouth in shock and pain but quickly recovered, breathing a cone of fire at Gohan. Gohan flew backwards and then up into the air, glad his flight had returned as it enabled him to dodge Dabura's evil flame.
Dabura looked upwards and smiled, firing hundreds of red hellish blasts of energy in Gohan's direction.
Gohan flew threw the cloud of energy attacks and slammed Dabura twice with both fists before kneeing the demon king hard in the stomach.
Gohan brought his right leg around and kicked Dabura into a mountain of stone statues, each crumbling into dust on impact.
"Dabura is this all the power you have? I'm disappointed." Gohan yelled, crossing his arms.
"Pride comes before the fall Gohan. Believe me..I'd know." Dabura said before laughing.
Dabura suddenly appeared a short distance ahead of Gohan, holding out his right hand.
"Sword!" Dabura yelled, and suddenly a large scimitar like blade with a yellow cross-guard appeared in his hand as if by magic.
Seconds after creating his weapon, Dabura descended upon Gohan.
" Attack!" Dabura yelled, then struck Gohan with at least twelve slashes from his sword before firing a black blast of energy which send Gohan colliding with a different mountain of statues.
"I grow tired of this game. I expected to fight a fierce half-saiyan warrior. You disappoint me Gohan. I suppose you mortals are only capable of so much. Evil..Impulse!" Dabura yelled, firing a large sphere of dark black and red energy from his right hand in Gohan's direction.
Gohan was finally able to stand when he saw Dabura's attack heading his way.
"I don't think so. Meha Wave!" Gohan yelled, firing an orange beam of energy from his right hand.
Gohan's attack pushed Dabura's attack backwards towards the demon king.
"So you do have some fight in you. No matter. Evil Detonation!" Dabura yelled, causing his earlier attack to suddenly explode. The shockwave from the explosion sent Gohan soaring into the air, while Dabura seemed unaffected.
In the distance the Z-Fighters watched the battle, Goku having a bad feeling.
"Dabura was able to telepathicly reach out and manipulate Gohan and Vegeta earlier, what is more he was able to disable our ability to fly. He is just toying with Gohan." Goku said.
"The Supreme Kai did mention that in Dabura's demon world he was the strongest by far. Maybe being in his own world gives him more power?" Vegeta suggested.
"Gohan..your strength has always been in your anger. You take after me in that regard. Don't fight your rage..let it give you strength." Bardock said
Gohan wiped blood off his chin, then flew down at Dabura. Dabura smiled and spit several globs in Gohan's direction. Gohan was easily able to dodge all three. Gohan than began relentlessly pummeling the demon king with hundreds of rapid-fire punches.
Dabura brought his sword around and attempted to slash Gohan away from him, but Dabura miscalculated, the half-saiyan using an after-image, Dabura striking only air.
Gohan tapped on Dabura's shoulder, the Demon King turned around only to be greeted by the sight of Gohan's right fist striking him in the jaw. Dabura dropped his sword, which disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Dabura and Gohan then rushed at each other. Each began striking the other or attempting to strike the other in a deadly dance of blocks, punches and kicks. The sky shook from the intensity of the battle.
Dabura and Gohan then flew some distance from each other.
Dabura wiped blood from his mouth and smiled at Gohan.
"Now that is more like it. You didn't have that sprit when we fought before, yet I sense you still have yet to show me your real fighting ability Gohan." Dabura said with a wicked smile.
"I am at my maximum now. I don't know what your talking about." Gohan said.
"Someone with my level of power is very rarely given a true challenge. I know all about your father and Vegeta's Super Saiyan Five transformation. If they can reach such a level..than you should be able to as well." Dabura said.
"Why would you want me to reach a level that would most likely cause your death?" Gohan asked.
"Let me tell you a secret mortal. I have not been fighting you with my true might and power this entire time. This world gives me a far greater level of power. That power would make you nothing to me." Dabura boasted.
"Well I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not letting you get such an advantage over me. I'm ending this fight, for the people I care about and everyone held hostage on Earth." Gohan said.
"By all means, show me your fury Gohan." Dabura said, taunting his opponent.
Gohan cupped his hands and got into a familiar stance.
"Ka" Gohan started
"You and your family just never get tired of move do you?" Dabura said, crossing his arms with confidence.
"Meh" Gohan continued.
"Spear!" Dabura yelled, summoning a long curved spear into his right hand.
"Ha" Gohan continued.
Dabura rushed forward, intending on impaling Gohan for his arrogance.
"Meh" Gohan continued to chant.
Dabura was a hairs-breathe away from Gohan when Gohan yelled "HA!", sending an enormous blue beam of pure energy at point-blank range into Dabura.
Dabura screamed in pain as he was sent high into the red sky. Dabura disappeared from view, becoming a point of light in the sky before disappearing entirely.
"Is Dabura gone dad?" Goten asked.
Goku narrowed his eyes in the direction Dabura went.
"Part of me would say yes, but something tells me this is far from over." Goku said.
Sure enough a red star could be seen rapidly approaching the battlefield.
The star was revealed to be Dabura, covered in a blood-red aura.
Dabura was breathing heavily, blood flowed from his mouth, and his chest was charred. Dabura's cape was partly burnt away, and parts of clothing were ripped and tattered.
Dabura said nothing, he only looked at Gohan with eyes full of rage, and pointed his right hand in his direction.
Gohan braced himself for whatever was coming.
Dabura fired an unbelievable amount of reddish-black energy blasts at Gohan.
"There has to be millions of them." Vegeta said with a small amount of surprise in Vegeta's voice.
All the blasts slammed into Gohan, who screamed in pain as the blasts struck him with the full fury of Dabura.
"Gohan you either ascend or die..those are your choices. I'm done playing with you." Dabura said as he continued to fire his attacks.
Gohan yelled "Meha Wave!" sending an orange beam at Dabura, who was forced to break off his attack in order to dodge the blast.
Gohan looked tired, sweat pored down the areas of his body not covered in clothing or fur. The half saiyan son of Goku suddenly floated down to the ground, landing on the stone below.
Gohan reverted back to his normal form. He wearily looked upwards at Dabura, who had a wicked smile on his face.
"I was curious to see what fighting you at the level of Super Saiyan Five would be like, but now I see that this is the limit of your ability Gohan. It is unfortunate, I had hoped to drag out this rematch of ours much longer, but even I am capable of mercy. Because you gave me a good workout, I will give you a quick death." Dabura said, pointing his right hand at Gohan.
"No..it can't end this way. Why is it I always fail?" Gohan thought.
Suddenly Gohan was fighting Cell again. One of his arms was useless and broken, yet he held onto his anger of what Cell had done to his family and friends. He made that his power, sending every last ounce of strength into his attack.
But it wasn't enough. Cell's attack overpowered his own. The green, purple and black bio android laughed as he stopped his attack, Gohan's own striking Cell but having no effect.
"Did you really think you could defeat perfection Gohan?" Cell said, then walked over to Yamcha and Tien, who continued to uselessly strike him with attacks of their own.
Cell grabbed both human fighters by the neck with his hands and held them overhead.
"Gohan run while you still can!" Tien yelled before Cell snapped both men's necks, tossing the two corpses aside like trash.
"Stop Cell please!" Gohan pleaded, but his cries were ignored.
Cell walked over to Krillin, who fired off a destructo-disk in vain at the android.
"Gohan run..its all your good for anyway." Krillin said.
Cell swung his right leg around and decapitated the bald monk, the desert nearby stained red with his blood.
Piccolo was Cell's next victim. Gohan couldn't bring himself to look as he heard his first friend and second father cry in pain.
"Why Gohan..I loved you like a son." Piccolo said
The scenery in Gohan's mind suddenly changed. Gohan was in some kind of gothic city. The bodies of his friends and family lay still, either dead and unconcious.
A tall green man with vibrant red hair approached Gohan.
"Soon this beutiful world will belong to Bojack." A female voice said as Bojack approached Gohan.
"Sorry son, but I'm in otherworld now, I can't help you." Gohan's father's voice said.
Bojack grabbed Gohan's teenage body and painfully squeezed him. Every cry of pain by the youth brought a smile to the green man's lips.
Gohan blacked out from the pain, waking up as an older teen. Super Buu, wearing a metamorian fusion vest kneeled over him.
"Your failing them again. Your old teacher Piccolo would be disappointed." Buu said.
"It wasn't my fault!" Gohan yelled flying up at Buu.
Buu grabbed Gohan by the neck with his head tenticle, then scolded him like a child with his finger.
"It is always your fault Gohan." Buu said before Gohan blacked out again, waking to see the silver face of the parasite Baby staring at him. He appeared to be on the New planet Tuffle which Baby had wished into existence.
"You couldn't save your brother or Vegeta from becoming my hosts. You couldn't even save yourself!" Baby said, laughing his high-pitched laugh before continuing.
"You couldn't even stop me from using you to kill Piccolo!" Baby said
The scenery changed yet again. It was a dune-filled desert, the bodies of Majuub, Goten, Trunks and Vegeta lay unconcious on the sand.
Gohan saw a white-clad figure with an eagle-like mask floating slightly above the ground.
"You cannot stop us. Nobody can stop us. Soon..all will become one with us!" Tlama yelled in his echoing voice.
"We defeated you! Your dead!" Gohan yelled.
"Evil can never be truly destroyed." Tlama said before erupting in more of his maniacal laughter.
"No..your wrong." Gohan yelled, attempting to punch the dark god several times, but only striking his barrier.
"If the embodiment of evil is ever destroyed..it will merely change in form. Darkness is never ending." Tlama said
Suddenly Gohan was inside the Time Fortress, Krysis held Piccolo by the throat..
"Gohan..help me." Piccolo gasped.
The crimson tyrant held Piccolo by his mechanical black hand, smiling his sick smile.
"Help me, help me he says!" Krysis said mockingly.
"Krysis..I'm warning you..let him go." Gohan said darkly.
"That is what you said before I killed your mother and your daughter. Is begging all you can do Gohan? Apparently so because so many are now dead because you failed to act. Your father died because you failed to kill Cell when you should have." Krysis said, and Perfect Cell appeared beside him.
"You failed to notice the obvious..and you let Buu absorb your loved ones. Then you allowed yourself to be taken. If that were not pathetic enough...look what happened with Baby. Once again you allowed yourself to be used against those you care about." Krysis said, and both Super Buu and Baby appeared next to Cell.
Tlama appeared next.
"Darkness is never ending...and you are powerless to stop it." Tlama said.
Krysis tightened his grip on Piccolo's neck.
"Do not fear Gohan. I am in no danger." The voice of Piccolo said in his mind.
"Piccolo? But your." Gohan said, confusion in his voice.
"The Piccolo held by Krysis is but an illusion. Every image you have seen is the darkness of your own soul. This is all a test to see if you are worthy." Piccolo's voice said.
"Worthy? Worthy of what?" Gohan asked.
"Transcension. Gohan..just as there are great powers of evil at work now, so to is there good. If you truly wish to fight evil, you must pledge yourself to the higher power. Only then will you transcend your mortality." Piccolo said.
"Don't listen to the voice in your head. There is no power of light..only one of darkness." Tlama hissed.
"If it means I can make a difference..than I will pledge myself to this higher power." Gohan said with conviction.
"No matter what you do you cannot defeat the darkness. Darkness is never ending. It is the true state of existence. Death is the only absolute." A sinister voice said.
Gohan suddenly saw the being who had just spoken appear in place of all the previous villains. The figure looked human. His skin was as pale white as bone. He wore dark armor decorated with white skulls on the shoulder and chest area. The figure's face could be described as handsome. Six black bird-like wings lay on the figure's back. In the figure's hands was a scythe.
"I am Azrael, the Tenth Demon King and Emperor of the Demon World, ruler of all that is evil and wicked. Darkness is mighty, there is no light that can defeat it." Azrael said.
Suddenly Goku appeared in his Super Saiyan Four form. Goku smiled at Azrael and said:
"Darkness isn't mightier than light."
Suddenly none of his insecurities mattered. None of his past failures mattered. All that mattered was doing what was right. The past was the past..
"I embrace only what I can do for the present..and the future!" Gohan yelled.
Dabura covered his face from the light..the horrible light of purity that suddenly pierced the darkness of his demon world.
"Gohan's power was near zero..where is he getting all this strength from?" Trunks asked.
"A higher power." Vegeta said calmly.
Dabura smiled wicked at this development, despite the horrid light.
The light faded slowly to reveal a taller, buffer Gohan with hair as white as snow and silver fur. Blue lightning danced around Gohan's new form, which radiated a power that suddenly caused Dabura to become concerned. Gohan's eyes became like miniature suns, radiating with yellow light. Only the orange pants he wore remained unchanged.
"I expected an increase in power from this transformation..but your new strength surpasses that of my own. This is just not possible!" Dabura yelled, firing a sphere of black and red energy in Gohan's direction.
"Is good really that strong?" Majuub asked quietly to himself.
For once, none of the Buus responded.
Gohan held out his right hand and caught Dabura's attack, then effortlessly flung it back at the demon king, who barely dodged it.
"I will not be defeated by a mortal!" Dabura yelled, spitting on Gohan.
Gohan did not seem alarmed as his silver body turned to stone.
Instead he flew towards Dabura, even as he changed.
"I am past this. I will not allow your technique to claim me. I have SURPASSED THIS!" Gohan yelled, as an explosion occured which Dabura flying backwards.
"You should be a statue by now!" Dabura yelled.
"Dabura, you and your master tried to use my past failures against me. You used my mind as a battlefield, knowing you could unleash something even you could not handle. All I have to say is..be careful what you wish for." Gohan said as he flew towards Dabura, who now looked afraid.
"This fight is over." Goku smiled.
"Stay away!" Dabura yelled.
"Did you stay away from all the billions of people you tortured and killed? No you did not. Now as justice descends upon you you show fear." Gohan said, continuing to approach Dabura's position.
Dabura fired the largest blast he was capable of at Gohan. But as the red and black energies of the blast dissapated, Gohan was revealed directly in front of Dabura, a look of disapproval on his face.
"Masenko of Justice!" Gohan yelled, firing what looked like a yellow sun point-blank at Dabura, who screamed as the energies of the attack tore him apart.
Dabura thought back to long ago when he was one of the four Supreme Kais watching over the universe. He had been pure then, his greatest desire was to lessen the suffering of mortals. One day he had journeyed to a world plagued by a horrible demon. He had defeated the beast, but had learned that the creature had been created by the innocents of the world in an attempt to protect them from an invading alien force.
Dabura saw the corruption on many worlds, and one day spoke with his fellow Kais, telling them that they should rule directly over mortals rather than simply watching over them.
Daikaioh rarely spoke, but when he did, it mattered. Daikaioh told Dabura one thing. It was the last thing he remembered before he was one day banished from the world of the kais and transformed into a demon.
"A lust and greed for power, no matter how noble the intent, will always lead to hell." Daikaioh had said.
"Daikaioh you were right" Dabura thought before death claimed him.
Gohan's blast faded, and suddenly a door appeared where Dabura's throne once was.
Gohan turned to his family and friends present and smiled.
"Time to go to level two." Gohan said.
"Gohan you reached Super Saiyan Five! That was amazing!" Goten said, pride evident in his older brother.
"If I had been the other Trunks that could have been me next." Trunks said sadly.
"Don't compare yourself to him Trunks. I'm sure there is greatness in store for you as well. After all, you are my son." Vegeta said with a smile.
"We should prepare ourselves. However difficult Dabura's world was to overcome, I sense the next will be harder still." Nouva said
"It is nothing we can't overcome. Right guys?" Goku said to his team.
Everyone, even Majuub nodded reluctantly. Each of them then went threw the door, into the waiting arms of the next world that awaited them.
