Previously on Part 30: What will Zangya do next? Will she obey her master who doesn't care if she gets killed or not? Or will she break free from the tyrant who has been controlling her life and death from the beginning? What will she decide?

Part 31: Zangya's Decision

Zangya was frozen on the spot. "What am I going to do now?" she thought, "I can't betray my master but... Bido almost killed me with that blast. What the hell is going on?"

"Zangya! Don't make me get angry!" Bojack screamed from down there.

"B-but master... Why did Bido launch that attack knowing I was there?"

"Don't question my orders, Zangya and kill that annoying woman this instant!"

"I-I-I can't... She saved my life."

"Why you!" Bojack screamed while rushing towards her. Vegeta kicked him back to the ground.

"This fight is between you and me. You are not going anywhere."

"Why you! Bido, silence this fool!"

"Yes, Master," he said as he rushed towards Vegeta.

"Hmph, pathetic. Sending out your pawns to do your dirty work. You think I'm not worthy for you?!" Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan and stopped Bido dead in his tracks. "If you're going to fight me, you have to do it right. Stand still right there."

Bido had a look of confusion on his face. Vegeta smirked and stole Trunks' sword. Faster than Bido's eyes could register Vegeta cut his left arm off.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! You mother*****!"

"Rule number three in fighting: Never stand still." Trunks' sword was soaked in green blood. Blood was gushing out of the tough Hera-jin's wound with the deep red mohawk.

"Bido, you pathetic fool! You're a disgrace to the race of Hera! You've disgraced me. I do not need your service anymore."

"M-Master! N-no! I will kill him! I still have one arm left! Master!"

"Grrrrr, Grand Smasher!"

Bido was overwhelmed by the giant green vortex of energy. It was aimed at Trunks who realized it way too late. At the last moment Gohan jumped in front of him and caught the blast.

"Trunks... Run!" Gohan said straining.

"Gohan! You shouldn't have..."

"Get out of here... NOW!"

Trunks flew to safety. He didn't realize however that Bujin snuck up behind him.

"Hee hee hee hee hee, I will finish that incompetent Bido's job. I'll slowly drain all of your energy!"

"Grraaaaah!" Trunks screamed as the Psycho Thread cut in his skin. His energy was slowly being drained.

"Father!" Trunks screamed.

Vegeta rushed to save his son from the little psychic. Gohan was pushing back with all of his strength as a Super Saiyan.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, you can't push that back, boy," Bojack grinned, "You're just a little boy. Where's your mommy?"

"I... am Gohan and I... am the son of Goku. As long as there's still life in me... I will protect this planet with all of my power."

"Goku you say? Well, when you get to the Other World, tell him I said thanks for releasing us. If it wasn't for him destroying that planet with that overgrown parasite, I would have been stuck there forever. Huh?"

A large blue ball of energy came out of nowhere and surprised Bojack with a bang. He was hurled through multiple buildings before coming to a halt. Standing on a building with a blue sphere of energy floating on his right hand... was Bardock. He descended next to Gohan and helped him push the green vortex towards the downed galactic warrior. As the vortex was accelerating it was disintegrating everything in its path. Bojack's eyes bulged out with fear as he saw his own attack coming at him with incredible speed. Bujin saw this happen and had no choice but to release Trunks. He rushed towards his master as fast as his little body could fly and saved his Master from his demise.

"Master, are you okay?" Bujin asked.

"Grrr, get your hands off of me! I'll kill all of them one by one! Bujin, you get the spiked hair fool while I deal with the boy."

"Right!" Bujin said as he sped off towards Vegeta.

Meanwhile back at the main arena...

"Mr. Satan! You have to step in! You have to defeat those bad guys that infiltrated the Tournament!" the announcer screamed.

"Uh.. Well... My stomach still hurts... I don't think I'll be able to fight."

"You're going in there whether you like it or NOT!" the announcer said as he and a few other people shoved him in a shuttle.

"Wait! This is a mistake! I... I'm not ready!"

"Quick! Launch it before he has time to escape!"

The shuttle was launched and made its way to the battlefield.

"Zangya!" Bojack screamed, "I'm giving you one more chance to rejoin us. If you do it, I'll forget all about your betrayal a few moments ago."

"Never!" she replied, "You're just asking me because you're low on pawns you can control, pawns YOU sent to their deaths."

"Come on, Zangya, she was going to kill you anyway."

"NO!" Fasha screamed, "I would NEVER kill an innocent being."

"She's right," Zangya added, "She saved me from the blast YOU ordered Bido to launch. It's very clear to me now."

"Well," he started calmly, "If I wasn't busy trying to dispose of these annoying pests, I would personally RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!"

Zangya was taken aback by this sudden outburst. Bojack saw this and picked up on her fear.

"Once I deal with all of these pest... You're next," he threatened.

Just as Bujin was planning to execute his psychic powers, Vegeta disappeared.

"Where did that freak go?" Bujin asked out loud. A knee to the back of his head answered that question.

"Father! Look out!" Trunks warned but it was too late. Bojack dug both of his hands in Vegeta's sides. Vegeta was screaming in pain. Bujin took this opportunity to bind him with his powers. Trunks pulled out his sword and rushed towards the litte psych. He just used his left hand and binded Trunks as well.

"Ungh, y-you'll pay for that!" he screamed straining against the threads.

"Hee hee hee, you'll never get out of these." Bujin said overconfident. Just then Hercule's shuttle crashed through the roof of the arena. It was making its way to the unsuspecting Bujin.

"Aaaaaaaaagh!" Hercule was screaming inside of the small pod.

It collided head on with Bujin causing him to lose control of his powers, thus involuntarily releasing both Vegeta and Trunks. Bujin moved aside and the shuttle crashed into a building and exploded. Hercule landed safely on the ground with the help of his cowardice. Vegeta and Trunks landed on the ground on their hands and knees recovering from the energy drain from Bujin's attack.

"That stupid bastard!" he said furious as he rushed off to kill Satan (this has got to be one of the funniest sentences ever). The man in brown with an afro and moustache was shaking in his boots at the sight of the oncoming Hera-jin. Fasha saw this and rushed to intercept Bujin at full Super Saiyan power.

"Where do you think YOU'RE going?" she asked.

"Heh heh heh, what could you POSSIBLY do to stop me? I'll see you straining in pain in a few seconds."

"Oh yeah? Energy Ballet!" Fasha screamed as she launched a purple orb of energy into the air. She then slowly started to fade. Her afterimage and the Energy Ballet were meant to distract Bujin for a while so she can finish him off. But Bujin saw through her plan... Literally. He launched two blue ki blasts to explode the pink orb and spotted the real Fasha behind him. He immediately binded her causing her to be immobilized and getting her energy drained.

"You really thought you could outsmart me? I'm the smartest of the team. Hee hee hee."

Zangya saw her hero being binded by Bujin and rushed into action.

"Sky Zapper!" she yelled as she unleashed her ultimate combo. Being a Super Hera-jin gave her the advantage over the small untransformed descendant of Hera. Her devastating combo caught Bujin off guard. Ultimately a downward kick hurled the psycho through a building where smoke came out of all the windows of every floor as he continued to fall.

Bojack was walking towards the boy standing in the middle of a clearing between buildings. His head was bowed down and he was completely immobilized.

"Heh, this is unusually convenient," Bojack said as he approached the blond haired boy, "You are expecting death, aren't you?"

"You know that what you're going to do is considered child abuse, right?" Bardock said while leaning onto a wall at a building behind Bojack. His right knee was bent and his sole was resting against the building as well. He was staring down absently.

"Who the hell are you?!" Bojack asked furiously.

"I'm your worst nightmare," Bardock said as he flashed him a furious face.

"I don't care who you think you are. I've made up my mind. I'll destroy this planet along with all of its inhabitants."

"I dare you," was all Bardock said as he charged up a blue energy ball in his right hand. Gohan charged a yellow blast in HIS right hand. He turned around slowly.

"I can't forgive you for what you've done. I will NOT forgive you for coming here and torturing my friends."

A look of shock washed over Bojack's face but it disappeared quickly. "And what does a little boy like you think he can possibly do to the rightful ruler of the universe?"

"I can blast a hole through your chest and let you suffer till you bleed to death," he answered in a dangerously low tone. Bardock was slowly approaching the duo making sure Bojack didn't make any sudden movements.

"Well I don't think so," the blue pirate quipped, "I am the stongest here. I can kill all of you without having to transform but what's the fun in that?"

Bojack's muscles expanded and he turned green. His shirt and bandana were ripped off by his body mass and his hair turned a bright shade of red, almost orange. His power increased dramatically. Faster than any of the Saiyans could register, Bojack grabbed both of their faces, smashed them above his head and ultimately smashed them on the ground. He then ascended and charged his massive green vortex of energy. Bardock saw this happen. He grabbbed Gohan and used the Instant Transmission to escape at the last second.

"HA HA HA HA HA! You two actually thought you would stand a chance?" Bojack laughed.

"We didn't think so, we knew it," Bardock announced to Bojack's shock.

"Final Spirit Cannon!"

"Masenko-HA!"

The yellow blast propelled the blue energy sphere toward the green muscled pirate. Both of them exploded on his chest blasting him in the same crater he created moments ago with his own attack. Somewhere not too far away an explosion occured. An entire building was leveled to the ground. Bujin, for the first time of his life, transformed into the Super Hera-jin all of his teammates had no trouble achieving. With this power both his psychic and physical strength increased at an unprecedented rate. He looked like a muscled green midget. He could even pass as a muscled goblin but he isn't that ugly. Amazed by his newfound power he rushed towards his primary threat... Zangya.

"Oh no, you don't!" Fasha screamed as she unleashed her most sinister technique. She had been charging it the moment Bujin leveled the building.

"Pink Atomic Eraser!"

Being as small as he was, he was blessed with speed. He easily avoided the pink blast of destruction and elbowed both Fasha and Zangya in the face. After they were hurled back, Fasha's blast exploded outlining the evil midget floating in front of them. Zangya knew what was going to happen and was prepared.

"Psycho Thread!" both Zangya and Bujin yelled as they unleashed their psychic energy draining threads from the tips of their fingers. They were stuck in a thread triangle. Zangya was binding Bujin and he in his turn was binding both Fasha and Zangya.

"Aaagh!" Zangya yelled in pain. She was trying to hold her attack in place to drain Bujin's energy but her own was being drained as well.

"I... I sense your energy depleting, traitor!" Bujin said straining, "You... You were weakened already before I transformed... Ugh... I will win this... You are going to die by my hand!"

"F-father..." Trunks said with difficulty, "You have to help them." Trunks was lying on his back completely drained. "I know you still have some energy left. Please, save Zangya..."

"Why the hell should I save her? She was part of them. How can you be sure she won't doublecross us?" Vegeta asked stubbornly as he strained to get up.

"Please... Father... Please trust me... Just this once."

"Hmph, I will do you that favor but don't you EVER ask something like this to me again, got it?!"

Trunks smiled at his father's display of parental power. Vegeta raised his right hand and charged up an energy ball and launched it towards the terrible psychic pirate.

"What the...?" Bujin saw the ki blast too late. He had his 'hands full' with Zangya and Fasha and he couldn't move due to Zangya's psychic threads. The ki blast exploded causing Bujin's grip on Fasha and Zangya to be released.

"It's over, Bujin," Zangya said, "I will use the last ounce of my power to drain your last bit of energy including your life energy. You will die a slow and painful death. Any last words?"

"I... If I'm going to die... I'm going to take you with me, you traitor!" Bujin yelled as he was slowly moving towards Zangya who was immobilized by focus. If she moved, she would have lost control over him. Fasha realized too late what he was planning. Bujin caught Zangya in a Full Nelson and started to gather all of his remaining energy including his life energy. He was planning to use his body as a vessel to release all of that energy at once.

"I will sacrifice myself to make sure YOU wouldn't live on..."

"Get off me, you sick bastartd!" Zangya screamed as she lost her focus. This caused Bujin to tighten her grip around her now that he wasn't binded anymore.

The smoke cleared up and a beaten up Bojack rose from the crater. He was burned on several places of his body but he was still alive.

"I swear... I'll kill them even if it's the last thing I'll do," Bojack said as he looked up to the duo.

"He's not dead, grandpa," Gohan said, "What should we do?"

"Stay here, Gohan," Bardock answered, "I'll take care of it."

Bardock descended towards Bojack who was halfway up on one knee.

"Had enough?" Bardock asked as his golden aura was flashing wildly.

"Heh heh heh, you really thought that combination really damaged me a lot, didn't you? You're up for a surprise. I'm not using my full power."

"Neither am I. Where are you getting at? You're probably going to tell us you have more pawns somewhere and they'll be coming here to help you?"

"No, I'll show you the meaning of carnage!"

Bojack rushed forward as soon as he pronounced the last word. He bathed his right fist with energy and punched Bardock in the chest hurling him through a few buildings before he came to a stop and was lying on the ground unconscious. A few of his ribs were broken by Bojack's devastating punch. Bojack then rushed up to the unsuspecting kid and grabbed him in a death grip. He was hugging him tight crushing him against his body.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Gohan yelled in pain, "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Fasha heard this but was in her own dilemna. Bujin was going to selfdestruct in any minute and she couldn't do anything to help Zangya.

"Please, help me," she pleaded as she extended her hand to Fasha.

"I-I-I can't. He can explode any second now. If I attack him he might blow up."

A tear rolled down Zangya's cheek. Her expression then changed into that of serenity. She knew what she had to do. She charged up the last bit of her energy including her life energy and blasted off to her previous master.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Gohan screamed in agony. He was helpless as Bojack was crushing him in a tight bear hug.

Meanwhile in Other World...

Goku was watching this happen through King Kai.

"I have to stop him! Is there any way we can save him?" Goku asked determined.

"I'm afraid not, Goku. Our hands are tied."

"I don't think so," Goku replied stubbornly as he used the Instant Transmission to teleport to Earth.

"Goku, NO! You're DEAD!" King Kai screamed but it was too late. Goku's soul appeared next to Bojack and punched him hard in the face causing him to let Gohan go and crash into a building. Goku catched his son and was slowly descending to the ground.

"My son..." Goku said.

"D-daddy?"

"Please protect the Earth. You can do it. Get mad, Gohan. Unlock your potential. I know you can do it. I believe in you."

Goku put the nearly unconscious Gohan down while he was slowly fading.

"Don't stop believing, Gohan," was Goku's last words before he disappeared. Bojack recovered and stepped out of the ruins.

"W-was that... Goku?" Bojack asked to no one in particular. Just then he saw a purple comet rushing towards him. It was Zangya and Bujin. They were both well on their way of selfdestructing. "What the hell is that?" Bojack asked.

"You will pay for what you've done!" Zangya screamed.

Bojack then realized it was his two last henchmen making their way towards him on the verge of selfdestructing. Meanwhile Gohan was looking at the last bit of energy from Goku's soul in his right hand.

"You're right, dad. I have to believe in myself. I can't let him kill anyone. GRRRRRAAAAAAAAH!"

Lightning bolts filled his aura. His hair stood up straighter and had way more divisions. Gohan has transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.

"What's this?!" Bojack asked as he saw both threats approaching him fast. A golden and a purple comet were making their way towards Bojack. One had a look of pure anger while the other had a look of selfconfidence and serenity. This was going to be the end... or NOT!

Bojack charged up his ultimate attack. He had two giant green orbs surrounding both his hands. He was looking back and forth onto the oncoming threats. "Which one? Which one?! Which one do I have to eliminate first?! I hope this is enough. Double Galactic Buster!"

Bojack hadn't joined the two orbs to create the massive green blast like he used to. He fired a small green blast from each hand toward each threat.

"Hmph, pitiful," Gohan said as he (angrily) slapped the blast away causing it to explode behind him and outlining him with a green... outline. The Zangyan and Bujin duo went right through the beam.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Bujin asked in as he finally realized Zangya was heading towards Bojack.

"I'm gonna end this..." she said, "And I'm taking you with me!" Zangya wrapped her arms around Bujin making it impossible to escape. She couldn't back down now. She had to do what was necessary ro save her new friend and this planet. This was the only option she had left.

Bojack's fear was increasing. He was seeing death coming to him on both sides. He felt cornered for the first time of his life.

"I guess..." he said, "We'll have ti take it to a whole other level!" Bojack started to spin at an incredible speed creating a green dome of energy around him with shielding attributes. The dome began to expand and covering a larger area by the second.

"GRRRAAAAH!" Gohan screamed as he shot two yellow ki blast towards the dome but they were absorbed. "What the...?" he managed to muster but it was too late. He bounced off of it like a trampoline. Zangya crashed head on with the shield and was still pushing on it trying to get through but her efforts were in vain.

"I guess... this is the end," she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. She was too far in the process and couldn't revert back like Bujin did once he realized they were heading towards Bojack. She was going to die right here.

"Heh heh heh," Bojack grinned as he saw both threats coming to a halt. "My turn," he said as he broke through his own shield and delivered Zangya an impact punch causing her to fly towards the ground at full speed. Bujin seperated from her and landed a few feet away unconscious. Bojack was about to turn around to face Gohan when he recieved a bone shattering punch to the face.

"That was for grandpa! *punch* That was for Trunks! *another punch* That was for Vegeta! *yet another* This is for Fasha!" Gohan unleashed a devastating punch to his stomach piercing through him.

"You little brat!" he spat out. He spat some blood and was slowly retreating. "This is not the end, I promise you that. You will die along with this planet!" Bojack charged up his Galactic Buster once again... "Any last words before you die?!"

"Actually... There is one word that comes to mind... Kamehamehaaa!!"

"Galactic Buster!"

Gohan released a one-handed Kamehameha and the attacks clashed in the middle. Gohan easily overwhelmed the green blast and rushed through it. With a blast he rushed through Bojack killing him in the process. The ground was shaking. Yellow energy was shining out of fissures in the Earth. Gohan's energy was overwhelming. Then... It was over.

"Zangya!" Fasha screamed as she knelt down next to her, "Zangya, are you okay?"

"Ugh, I... I'm sorry Fasha," she said crying. Her body was still glowing purple. "My plan... failed. I... I can't hold on. I used up most of my life energy and I'm doing the best I can to hold everything in. I don't wanna die but..." Her head fell down and she was motionless. Her body was still glowing but it slowly started to fade away.

"Zangya? Zangya?!" she said more desperate. She began to shake her body wildly. "Zangya! Please wake up! Please, don't go! ZANGYA!" Fasha collapsed next to her body and started to cry. The wind was brushing past her face as if it was trying to comfort her. Gohan descended and was walking towards Fasha passing Bujin in the process.

"*groan*" was all Bujin managed to utter before Gohan shot a piercing beam right in between his eyes killing him instantly. Gohan knelt on the other side of Zangya and looked down.

"I... I failed," he said, "I failed to save everyone..." He collapsed next to her lifeless body and lost his consciousness. His hair returned to his original color.

Meanwhile in the Realm of Supremes...

The Creator has been watching the fight from the dimensional window. Destiny was standing right beside him.

"Do you think I should...?" he asked Destiny.

"Is there any?" he asked.

"No, there hasn't been one in like forever."

"Then you probably should."

"Maybe I will..."

Everyone was hospitalized after that. Zangya's body was brought to the morgue. Fasha was inconsolable. Bardock had a few broken ribs and had bandage wrapped around his mid-section. Vegeta and Trunks were escorted to Capsule Corporation where they stayed a day in a healing tank. Fasha was also in the hospital. Gohan was lying in the bed next to her. Chi-Chi was going on and on about summer school but Gohan wasn't paying attention to her. Fasha had one of Zangya's chains in her hand and had it pressed firmly on her chest. She was silently crying and no one else in the room but Gohan was paying attention to her. Gohan, despite the head injury, stood up from his bed and walked over to her. He had blocked all of the sounds from outside so he couldn't listen to his mother's antics.

"Gohan! Get back in bed right NOW! You're injured!" Chi-Chi said but they didn't reach Gohan. He went over and hugged Fasha who returned the hug.

"I-I'm sorry," Gohan whispered.

"It was not your fault... It was my fault she died. *sniff*"

"Please don't think that, Fasha. We could revi..."

"NO!" she yelled causing Gohan to startle, "I am tired of using the Dragon Balls to our benefits. We only need to use them in emergencies. Please don't take me the wrong way but there will always be mistakes. You guys always keep corrrecting them by wishing upon the dragon but what's the use? They will happen all over again as if to tell you that you can't get rid of them. You have to accept them. Only then you can move forward."

A pair of hands lifted Gohan away from Fasha and put him in his own bed.

"You listen to when I talk to you, young man!" Chi-Chi said furious. Apparently she has been yelling the entire time Gohan was with Fasha. Gohan turned his head to the right to see Fasha still in her desolate state grieving at the loss of what could have been a new friend. Someone turned from the path of evil into the right path.

A few days later they had a funeral for Zangya. Her orange hair was shining in the sun as she was peacefully lying in the coffin as if she was in a deep sleep. Her pants were missing one chain; the one Fasha had around her neck at the funeral.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Fasha," Kageto said. He was wearing a tuxedo that was among all of the clothes Bulma and Fasha bought for him.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," the preacher said. The coffin was lowered into the ground and buried. On the tombstone it said 'Zangya'. There was a Capsule Corporation logo beneath her name.

"She must have been very important," the preacher thought as he saw the logo. As soon as she was buried, it started to rain. People scattered and only Fasha, Kageto and Bardock were standing in front of the recent grave. Tora just walked casually next to them.

"Where the hell were you?" Kageto hissed.

"Umm... Gift Shop."

This was a sad day for everyone. They were all affected by Fasha's pain and felt as if a family member of them passed away. The local newspaper stated how Hercule saved the world again. The credit was stolen again but none of them minded. They were accustomed to his behaviour. After they got back home they were soaking wet. They showered and put on new clothes and collapsed on their bed. Tomorrow was going to be a new day...

End of Part 31

I... haven't been myself lately. I had a great fighting scene, I admit. I drastically changed everything. But... I haven't put a single humoristic sentence in this chapter except for the "Gift Shop". I was planning to add that at the battlefield when Tora would approach Bardock just as he was regaining his consciousness before Bojack was destroyed but I couldn't seem to add it into the story. I regret putting it in the funeral. It's more like a sad laugh. If you've been rolling on the floor laughing your ass off, then shame on you. I hope you readers will review. This chapter is dedicated to all my loyal readers, especially Vegito73, who review the story and NOT stay in the shadows. If I ever get the chance to do it, I'll add power levels to this chapter. That is all.
