Q. Blazingwafflle56- Are you making hatchiyak stronger then Broly because in the movie goku says hatchiyak is stronger than Broly.
A. I definitely confirm that Hatchiyack will be stronger than the forms Broly showed in Canon. As for the SSJ3 form I introduced of Broly that's a different story.
Q. thedarkpokemaster- Whoa so Hatchiyack has come into play I see that is going to be good then and I know that he will cause a lot of trouble for the heroes since he is deadly and love the little training that Pan was doing after all she will later become a hero when she is older, but her time has not come yet.
A. Oh yeah Hatchiyack will definitely be a huge issue. For one he's not only powerful, but tough to put down for good. It won't be a quick or easy fight for sure. As for Pan I just wanted to show a scene with her to remind people she's still in the fic. As you said though she'll become a lot more relevant later in the series when she gets older.
Q. Chrosis- I like what im seeing so far! Really looking forward to the next chapter. And whats best, it looks like the only real target Babidi has for his mind control is Zangya, since 17 cant really be held responsible for what he did under the control of Gero. And even then, 16 and Ocarim are still capable of keeping him im check.
The big issue, in my mind, is Trunks. I honestly think that he has the most darkness in his heart of anyone involved from Earth. It DID kind of bug me how quickly you had him forgive 18 and 17 for literally making his entire life a living Hell. But to further my point, in the episode he returned to the future for the last time, he definitely tormented the androids before killing them. I dont see him forgetting an entire life of hate so easily, even if he's learned to forgive and even love.
A. Glad you're enjoying the fic and yeah it will be interesting with the Mind Control aspect, because it will be hard on certain characters. As for Trunks I definitely understand how you feel, if I have any regrets with this fic so far it's that I wish I had spent more time with the evolution between how Trunks felt from the beginning of the Fic to where he is now. I mean granted it's still not as bad as some fics where it's instant forgiveness and love at first sight kind of deal, but I do wish I had spent longer on that development. In fact when I finish this fic I might even work on cleaning up grammar mistakes and add extra chapters that delve more into the earlier parts of the fic to show more with that change in character. I was trying to have the moment with Cell be the defining changing moment in their relationship with one another, I was happy with some aspects of it, but it would have probably been better if there had been more build up to that point beforehand...
Q. Ssj4mars- When you said Tuffle Monstrosity at the beginning of the chapter I had a feeling Babidi found Hatchiyak. That was a great way to tie in Hatcyiyak since when we didn't know what happened to him in this timeline.
A. Thanks I'm glad you liked that twist! To be honest I'd forgotten about Hatchiyack until I started planning this Saga and after thinking about it I figured his role would best be served as a part of Babidi's minions. I figured introducing him after this saga would be sort of pointless as he would likely be outclassed unless I did some major shenanigans.
Q. SCI-FIWIZARDMAN- Aaaahhh... for some reason, watching Pui Pui and Yakon get absolutely obliterated in the show was very satisfying to me. I mean, it make sense. Certainly they both would have been fearsome, unbeatable opponents earlier in the series. But by this point, the good guys have gotten so ridiculously powerful they become a non-issue. Really, it would have made the beginning of the Babidi arc a lot worse if they'd made all of Babidi's warriors somehow able to match the good guys after all the work they'd put in. As it stands, having enemies who were taken down with absolutely no sweat was breath of fresh air. Back on topic though, good fights. Wasn't initially expecting Sixteen to do much, but with the addition of an extra opponent, it balances out.
Speaking of which: HOLY S***, HATCHIYACK?! THAT is going to be a problem. If I remember correctly, his base form was insanely powerful enough... that's not even going over his potential Super and Giant forms, or the fact that he's now a servant of Majin and is therefore even stronger. Yeah, big issue incoming. XD
A. Haha I know how you feel. I really wanted to allow the other Z-warriors a moment to shine instead of punking them by somehow making Pui Pui and Yakon their equals. I'm trying to give all the characters a chance to shine so as to avoid the DBZ effect where characters outside of the Saiyans become...sadly forgotten and left behind lol. And yes from what I've looked up and studied Hatchiyack is no joke and will be a difficult opponent. He's actually stronger than Dabura, the reason why Dabura is still Babidi's right hand man though is because he's more cunning and helpful to Babidi in the greater scheme of things and Hatchiyack is just a pure hate machine that Babidi unleashes on his enemies.
Q. Guest- In Canon Dabura is almost as Powerful Super Perfect Cell
A. Yup. For the sake of my fic he's a deal stronger than he was in the normal Timeline, but there's also probably a good 14 + year difference between where Dabura appeared in the Canon timeline versus where he shows up in this story. And unlike DBM my Dabura does train some.
The Z-Warriors and the Supreme Kai found themselves now on upon the third level of Babidi's ship awaiting the next fighter to emerge.
"Two wimps in a row...I'm starting to think that these Majin's wouldn't even put up a fight if they were released." Lapis mused.
"You would be mistaken. Even if all of you are capable of defeating Babidi's minions, I know for a fact that Majin Buu himself is hundreds if not thousand of times stronger than some of the warriors we've faced today." The Supreme Kai replied.
"Not to question your authority on the matter, but Lapis makes a good point. You seemed to believe that both of the previous warriors would require all of our efforts and it only took a minimal effort from one of us each time. Perhaps these Majin were strong in their day, but isn't it possible they have been surprassed in the ages since then?" Ocarin suggested.
Zangya wrinkled her nose again as she eyed Lapis out of the corner of her eyes. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. As much as both of the previous fighters were insects compared to us, the second was far stronger than the first. We have no idea what to expect going forward."
"Trouble. My scanners are picking up an incredibly powerful lifeform approaching that door." Sixteen announced as his brow furrowed.
The Supreme Kai tensed. 'Could this be Dabura?...No wait. This being...it's far stronger than Dabura, and though It's hard to believe...the malice I can feel coming from it is almost suffocating.'
"Wow I think you might be right babe. Whatever the hell that is...it's a lot tougher than the last two warriors." Lapis admitted as a bead of sweat rolled down his head. 'I can't tell how powerful it really is, but even it's base power is well beyond me, Sixteen, or Zangya.' he slowly took a stance.
Zangya remained quiet as she shifted into a fighting stance. "Perhaps taking turns wouldn't be a wise idea with this fight."
"Agreed. So much for my theory..." Ocarin gritted his teeth as the door slowly raised upwards.
As the door fully opened an extremely tall muscular red humanoid stepped forward. His body was covered with a series of blue gems, and his eyes were a yellow tint. His aura was not only powerful, but it radiated a great sense of malice that was almost palpable in the air itself.
"Who the hell is this guy? Any idea shorty?" Lapis asked as he glanced over at the Supreme Kai.
"N-no I've never seen this warrior before. His power is incredible. To think Babidi was hiding someone like this."
"You can marvel over that later. We have to focus on how to bring this guy down. Listen to me, I'm the strongest fighter we have here. I'll take the frontal assault. The rest of you focus on trying catch him off-guard and keeping him from going on the offensi-" he stopped before finishing his thought as the Warrior before them crossed his arms as the gems in his arms began to glow.
Suddenly without warning the entire room began to be filled with Malice and hatred as Hatchiyack's power began to spike higher.
"What is hell is he doing?!" Zangya asked.
Once more Babidi's shrill voice filled the room. "You fools have no idea what you're dealing with. Hatchiyack was originally a Tuffle computer that was infused with Hatred for the Saiyan race, as you can see now he has a body of his own. He possess the unique gift of channeling hatred as a weapon, beyond that he is next to indestructible. Hatchiyack make them suffer, make them beg for death, and above all else make sure they use all their precious energy, and then when their energy is depleted...kill them."
Dende frowned, before he reached up and rubbed his forehead. "I'm such an idiot. If we fail to stop Babidi and his Majin this will be all my fault, some Guardian I am..." he vented, before he heard Mr. Popo speak up.
"Dende you can't be so hard on yourself. We couldn't have known how things were going to play out. We thought we had more time to prepare. All we can do now is have faith and hope they can stop Babidi or at the very least hold on till Gohan and Trunks emerge."
The Guardian sighed. " If they can't stop Babidi...I'm not sure if the rest of the Earth can last that long."
"..Uh excuse me?...Maybe I can help?" A female voice said startling the two figures on the Lookout.
Dende turned as he shifted his staff. His eyes widened slightly as he looked at the girl. She had long blonde hair that was pulled back into a pony tail with two bangs that hung loose. Dende quickly saw the similarites between her eyes, face, and hair. She looked to be maybe fourteen or fifteen years old. The young womans face was soft, but her eyes were strong like her father's. Dende quickly noted the tail around her waist. "Who are you miss? I didn't even sense your approach."
The woman offered a shy smile. "Well it's a long story and I don't have a lot of time. I want to help against Babidi, but I need to know how long have Gohan and ..Trunks been in the Time Chamber at this point?" she asked as she rested a hand on her hip.
"Maybe a little over five hours at this point..." Dende responded.
"That's all?!" She exclaimed her eyes widening slightly. "That's not good. I need to go..." she said as she raised her fingers to her forehead only for Mister Popo to hold up his hand.
"Wait Miss! If you want to help the others, perhaps you could visit Korin in his tower first? I don't believe the warriors fighting Babidi have any Senzu beans with them."
"Phew that's a good call. Thanks I'll do that first!" she said as she flashed a hint of a smile, before she turned and bolted off the side of the Lookout.
"What an interesting Girl. Today's been full of surprises. I just hope she know's what she's getting into. " Dende said.
"Any bright ideas?.." Lapis whispered under his breath.
"Yeah..follow my lead. I'll hit him head on, the rest of you cov-" before Ocarin could finish speaking Hatchiyack shouted. "Revenger Cannon!" before releasing a powerful green blast at the group.
Ocarin, Zangya, and Lapis managed to avoid the blast, however Sixteen and The Supreme Kai weren't as fortunate. Sixteen managed to tilt most of his body out of the way, The Kai however wasn't as lucky.
A bloodcurdling scream could be heard as the blast connected with the Supreme Kai incinerating him on the spot leaving only ashes in it's wake. The blast also hit the tall redhead android, but he faired better than the Supreme Kai as he was sent hurtling back into the far wall. With his Left Arm and part of his side now missing. Sparks flew from the cavity in his body as he struggled in vain to return to a standing position.
Ocarin gritted his teeth. "That was just a single blast...and he killed the Supreme Kai and it looks like Sixteen isn't going to be fighting anytime soon.
Lapis clenched his fists. "So what do we do now?"
The Namekian let out a deep breath as he noticed that Hatchiyack still hadn't moved after his last attack. "We move on and keep fighting. I'll take the front."
Zangya eyed the Namekian a moment, before nodding. "I'm ready..."
"As am I..."Lapis said in a subdued tone as his gaze never left Hatchiyack.
"Let's move then..." Ocarin growled as he kicked off the ground as he sprang forward.
"Try your best to get him to lower his defenses." Ocarin said as he rocketed ahead of the other two.
The Namekian swung his leg towards Hatchiyack's head only for the tall warrior to raise his arm and block the strike. Immediately the red warrior attempted to blast Ocarin with his other hand only for the Namekian to kick off the ground with his other leg and propel himself above the resulting blast. The Hulking creature turned as he kept his attention focused on Ocarin ignoring the two blasts that collided into his side harmlessly.
"Mister Korin ! Where are you?!" Bulla called out.
A grumble could be heard from deeper within Korin's tower as the cat himself walked out onto the top of the tower. He tilted his head as he stared at a Teenage girl with long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He observed her familiar features and even the jacket she wore with interest. Even her sword caught his attention. Perhaps what startled him the most was her very clear Saiyan tail that was curled around her waist. "Not just anyone walks into my tower these days. I get the sense you're not from around here. Just who are you and why have you come here?"
The teenager bit her lower lip a moment as she tried to think of how best to answer.
She knew that someone would want answers sooner or later, certainly the others would aswell.
Surely it wouldn't undo anything, after all her mother at this point was already pregnant so short of her mother dying, she didn't have to fear preventing her own birth. The Supreme Kai of Time had already decided that despite the effect it would no doubt have, her presence couldn't do much to make the course this timeline was on any worse.
"Well?" The Cat asked his eyes narrowing slightly.
"I"m Bulla..." She finally said. "And you're right I'm not from around here. But I promise I want to help the others, but I need any Senzu beans you may have. If I don't get there in time...the others may not survive their battle with Babidi's minions much less the Majin."
The wise creature regarded her for a moment longer, before simply nodding. "They were all in such a hurry to go and fight Babidi that they neglected to visit me first. I don't have many, but these will have to suffice..." He said as he walked over towards a chest, before opening and retrieving a small pouch.
He tossed the bag to her, before incling his head. "There are four beans inside. Use them wisely." he instructed.
"I understand...and thank you!" She said as she bowed her head deeply, before she turned and raised two fingers to her forehead as she tried to reach and sense the others. "There...I can still feel a battle going on. Their alive." she breathed as she focused her energies, before she vanished into thin air.
Babidi scowled. "What is Hatchiyack doing?! I told him to prolong the fight. He killed the blasted kai almost immediately. "
"Don't fret master. The Supreme Kai didn't have nearly as much energy as the rest of these warriors anyways, and it seems as if Hatchiyack is taking his time with them now. The fools dont' seem to realize he's not fighting at full power. They seem to think they actually have a chance."
The Wizard relaxed slightly. "I suppose you're right. And with every exchange I'm gathering an ample amount of energy. As long as this keeps up...I'll soon have the energy required to release Buu. The other pod will take much longer."
For the past twenty minutes the three Z-Warriors had managed to keep Hatchiyack on the defensive. The Namekian warrior seemed to be an even match for the Tuffle creature and with the assistance of Zangya and Lapis it seemed as if they held a slight edge, though despite this nothing they had done had seemed to actually damage Hatchiyack.
Ocarin let out a primal roar as he slammed as he traded blow for blow with the larger Hatchiyack. "Now do it!" he yelled as he jumped backwards as Zangya and Lapis appeared on either side of the Tuffle creature, before unleashing a powerful Ki-blast just as Ocarin did the same hitting Hatchiyack with a direct attack...
"Did we do it?...that was a direct hit..." Lapis said as he narrowed his eyes.
Zangya gritted her teeth. "No bonehead. Can't you feel his energy it's not any weaker...in fact it's climbing..." she growled.
Ocarin stared in horror as the smoke cleared revealing Hatchiyack who had both of his arms raised and seemed completely untouched save a few burns on his arms. The gems on his body began to glow as his muscules expanded rapidly. Suddenly his aura skyrocketed well beyond it's previous point.
Sixteen who had finally made his way back to a standing position frowned. 'We do not possess the means of fighting this warrior. In all the scenarios I can think of...we will lose.' he thought to himself.
"Dammit he wasn't even trying..." Lapis growled.
Zangya nodded her head numbly. "He was just toying with us..."
"It's insane...his power just doubled..." Ocarin spat. 'Before it felt like I was almost an even match for him, but now...how can we possibly beat this guy ?. I don't know if I can survive more than a few hits from this guy, Zangya and Lapis can't even afford to be hit once.' he thought to himself as he shifted his footing.
Hatchiyack's arms continued to glow.
Ocarin's eyes widened realizing too late what was about to happen. "He's using that same technique as before. Move!" he yelled.
"REVENGE BLAST"
Once more Hatchiyack released a massive blast of green energy this time with a massive radius.
"Gah I'm such an idiot!" Lapis growled as he pushed Zangya out of the way of the attack just before it hit.
Ocarin let out scream as his left leg was blown away as he narrowly dodged the rest of the attack.
Lapis however wouldn't find himself with enough time to escape.
"Lapis..." Zangya whispered her voice actually sounded strained as she stared at the cloud of smoke.
As the smoke cleared no sign of the Android could be seen, but before either Ocarin or Zangya could lament the cyborg's death they felt a powerful life force behind them.
They both tilted their heads back to see a Teenage girl with blonde hair floating about fifteen feet behind them with her hand on Lapis' shoulder.
The ravenhaired cyborg blinked. "Damn..I don't know the hell you are kid, but nice timing..."
The girl smiled slightly as she regarded the man, before releasing her hold on his arm. "Don't mention Lapis."
The cybrog scratched his cheek as he stared at her for a long moment. "Huh...well stranger you have me at a disadvantage, but maybe we can talk when we're not about to die." he mused as he glanced back at where Hatchiyack stood.
The Tuffle monstrosity seemed fixiated on the new arrival.
'Saiyan...' he mused to himself as he scowled.
Ocarin and Zangya landed next to the strange girl, both regarding her for a moment, before their attention returned to Hatchiyack.
"I don't know who you are kid, but coming here probably wasn't a wise idea." Ocarin said as his missing limb regenerated.
"She managed to save Lapis and avoid being burnt to a crisp, she might surprise you, besides...there's something familiar about her.." Zangya mused as she glanced from her periphreal a moment, noticing the girl's appearance and attire.
Bulla sighed. "I'm sorry I know you must have questions, but now's not the time. The Supreme Kai of Time sent me to help, Babidi wasn't suppose to arrive this early. This guy is really strong, but I can help you beat him. We just need to find his weakness."
Ocarin nodded his head slightly. "Well I think I can help you with that. I think I discovered his weakness."
The blonde's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yeah...as we've fought he periodically uses this one attack that requires him to charge for approximately fifteen seconds. After he finishes the attack he doesn't move for several seconds, I'm willing to bet that's some sort of window of recovery, but now he's become so powerful, I'm not even sure if exploiting that weakness would be enough to put him down."
"Always so positive..." Lapis mused in a sarcastic manner.
"Well we can fight or stand here and let him kill us...I choose the former." Zangya mused.
The Blonde Saiyaness took a step forward. "Together we can take him down. Trust me."
Ocarin shifted back into a fighting stance. "Alright then I take it you're hiding some of your strength. I hope you know what you're getting into Kid. This guy won't give any of us a second chance."
Bulla exhaled slowly as her aura began to swell. "We won't need a second chance..." she whispered.
King Kai's attenae twitched as he turned just as Goku appeared next to him. "Ah Goku I'm glad you didn't waste anytime. He's been bugging me for a while now to get you to come here..." he said as he pointed in the distance where the familiar sight of Piccolo could be seen meditating under a small tree.
The Namekian's ears twitched as his eyes opened, before he quickly rose to his feet.
"No worries. I'm sure it's important if Piccolo bothered you in the first place. " he grinned as he nodded at the Kai, before he continued walking forward till he and Piccolo met each other, before stopping.
"Wow Piccolo it's been a while. You've gotten much stronger since the last time I saw you. You seem different though." he mused. "Either way it's been too long.." he said as he extended his hand.
Piccolo's serious expression softened marginally as he firmly shook the Saiyan's hand. "Let's just say Kami and I finally settled our differences, but that's not the reason why I went to the trouble of having loud mouth over there summon you. "
Goku's eyes widened. "Kami you and you finally joined together again? Wow that's something I never expected to hear and what's on your mind ?"
Piccolo grunted. "I've been keeping a close eye myself with what's going on down on Earth. At the rate things are going...those Majin are going to be released long, before Gohan or Trunks emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. "
Goku's brow furrowed. "Trust me I'm worried too, but what can we possibly do about it Piccolo? "
The Namekian's brow furrowed. "I need your help with something. We might be able to help them on Earth, but I can't do it without your help. "
The Palmhaired Saiyan folded his arms. "You have my word. I'll do whatever I can to help, what's y-" the Saiyan's eyes widened as he felt a sudden influx of power. "Do you feel that Piccolo?"
The Namekian's eyes widened. "It's impossible that energy. Wasn't he suppose to be dead?"
*AN*
