Reviews:
AtlasStelle1: Thank you for your review! Again, very good idea. I actually never knew that the Legendary Super Saiyan had healing properties naturally, so to look that up and see that had me a bit shocked because it explains Broly's insane resilience. I always thought that he was just a tank, so to know that now for future chapters, I am happy. I hope you have some more ideas. Hey get on Reddit and shout out my story please if you get a chance. I don't have Reddit so I doubt anyone from there knows anything about it. If you want to of course, I'm only asking because it looks like you're a constant reader so it would be nice if someone gives a good impartial review of my story on Reddit somehow. If you don't, no trouble at all! Hope you enjoy this chapter my friend.
AlphaShenron: Thank you for your review! So first off, I wanted to say that I made a typo with Max Kaioken. It was supposed to say Max POWER combined with the Kaioken Times 20. I consider Master Roshi to be more advanced when it comes to the intrinsic nature of energy, so he would be more inclined to be able to use the Kaioken Times 20 and bulk up with Max Power, knowing the finer workings of the Kaioken like he does. So I'm sorry about that, just wanted to correct that. So will Gohan or Sarada go Super Saiyan? Read and find out Sir lol my Chapter Title will give you all the information you need. And multiple Cell's? Ehh I think their way of creation wouldn't allow for another Cell to roam free. Who would grab which Android? Would both be Semi-Perfect? No we're going to stick with one Cell (for now!) but, you never know what I may think a few chapters down the line ;-). And, you never know what I have cooking. Super Android 13 and Cell? Maybe Cell is a lot more...Varied! So to be fair to Mister X, I don't think we're going to hear too much about him in the future. But again, you never know. Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Age: March 764
Location: Mount Paozu Outskirts
She roused awake at the sound of an explosion not too far away.
"Ahh..." she winced, feeling her head. "D-Definitely a...a con..concussion...my head." Chi-Chi struggled to her feet, breathing out as she finally made it. Reaching into the side pocket in her dress, she pulled out a senzu bean. Taking it, she felt her immense headache and body pain wither away into nothing.
"Two left." She said as she looked down, closing the pocket back up. She needed to get to the others!...
"HAAA!" Hurling another Spirit Ball at Mister X, Yamcha's body screamed in protest at the use of the Kaioken Times 20, but if Piccolo at his full power could barely hurt this thing, then he needed every bit of his speed to avoid getting hit. The problem with that strategy, as the Bandit found out firsthand, was that the Spirit Balls weren't bothering the android anymore. Yamcha watched in dismay as it exploded harmlessly off of the android's thick, grey skin.
"YIKES!" He dodged above an attempted grab from the android, flying down and away from the others. They needed time to recover. The only way he could think to do that was to somehow lead it away!
"Come on big guy! This way!" Yamcha put a finger under his eye, pulling it down to show the lid as he stuck his tongue out at Mister X. The android snarled, flying at the Bandit faster than expected.
"Damn! Okay here goes a SOLAR FLARE!" Yamcha yelled out. Mister X squinted at first before the light got so blinding he shut his eyes in pain, wildly swinging for the Bandit but coming up short. Yamcha flew back, creating another Spirit Ball and flying down. There was a nearby forest area that he could hide in...
A couple of minutes later, Mister X, still hovered in the air, had regained his senses. Looking down, he saw the forested area. Landing heavily on the ground, Mister X slowly scanned his surroundings, looking for his prey.
"Target...Evasive..." Mister X snapped his head to the right, quickly walking to where he thought he heard a disturbance. He slowed down, listening for several moments. He snarled, punching the tree in front of him. It broke off with only a few feet remaining, splintering as it toppled over...
Yamcha held a breath, sweat slowly dripping down his forehead and through his longish hair.
'M-Man! That was too close...But my theory was right. As long as he...Oh...Crap!' Yamcha had discovered something about the android, something that could help the others.
If he could get out of this forest alive! The only noise that could be heard was his heart thumping in his chest ready to burst with the overload of fear and adrenaline.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Boom
Boom
The loud footsteps sounded like they were getting further away.
BOOOOOOOM
A bright, luminescent explosion sounded off a few hundred feet away, being triggered as Yamcha moved around and left the Shining Spirit Ball behind.
Mister X stumbled out from behind the tree, holding his eyes with one hand and swinging the other trying to find Yamcha, but he was nowhere close.
'Here we go!' Yamcha rushed from behind, igniting his Kaioken, turning over and slamming his foot into the back of Mister X's knee, causing the giant to fall to a knee. Yamcha was expecting more from the impact, but he didn't allow it to deter him as he recovered, his red aura speeding around Mister X and over, diving down with both feet.
BAM
BOOM
"AHH!" Yamcha slammed both feet into the top of Mister X's head, driving it to the ground.
"WOLF FANG FIST!" Yamcha roared, unleashing hell into the side of Mister X's thick, durable rib cage. As Yamcha finished his combo, Mister X managed to pull his head out of the dirt, a snarl on his face as he nearly grabbed Yamcha's fleeting leg.
"Ohhh, man!" Mister X was agile, getting up on both feet and running after the Bandit. Yamcha took flight with Mister X on him moments later, nearly catching him but he managed to turn and kick himself off of a tree for more speed, just getting away as Mister X smashed through it.
"A-A-Anytime guys!" Yamcha flew down as Mister X gave relentless chase. The only thing keeping Yamcha alive was the Kaioken Times Twenty, but it was a fierce double-edged sword. His body was rapidly fatiguing!...
"MOM!" Gohan yelled as Chi-Chi flew down amongst the battered group. Master Roshi was weak but alive. The punch that did him in would've killed him if he had not twisted his body just enough to avoid death, for now anyway.
"Chi-Chi! A-Are you alright?" Krillin said as Chi-Chi hugged her son.
"I've been better. But we have no time!" Chi-Chi reached into her little side pocket, opening it and pulling out her last two senzu beans. She went to give one to Piccolo, but he refused. So she gave her last two to Gohan and Master Roshi. Each taking it and making it back to full health. Gohan's scrapes disappeared and he felt himself become stronger.
"I've already had one. Besides, I'm feeling better now. Can't believe we still lost." Piccolo was pissed!
"Giant?" Sarada quirked with an eyebrow making Piccolo look down at her.
"So ready to give up the fight are we? And here I thought you were supposed to be the strongest." She said pointedly, but her mind was elsewhere, sensing Yamcha's unease and fear.
"Not even close! But if you can find a Super Saiyan anywhere to make this easier then by all means!" Sarada sneered at the subtle insult.
"Guys I don't know if a Super Saiyan would be enough against that!"
"Shut it, monk! It's not like you contributed anything."
"Guys!"
"STOP FIGHTING!" Gohan yelled, shaking the ground beneath him. Everyone shut up. Sarada herself was stunned at the boy's growing power. 'He is but a child, and yet he still holds more power than I! Interesting.'
"We're not getting anywhere fighting like this. I wish my Daddy was here, but he's not, which means we need to step up and stop this monster!" Gohan said with conviction, clinching his fist in simmering anger as an explosion went off a short distance away.
"Gohan is right. You were the one who injured him the most." Master Roshi said.
"Yeah, but it didn't do much to this thing it seems. I tried prying the wound open further and look where that got me." Piccolo argued.
"But it wasn't a bad idea." Master Roshi stated, looking at each of the warriors.
"What are you getting at Roshi?" Piccolo demanded, making the master smirk.
He indeed had a plan...
Mister X snarled, quickly walking toward another tree. He was finally getting pissed! The Bandit had been running, flying, and escaping for his life the last 5 minutes.
BOOM
Yamcha sighed, sweat dripping down his forehead. Breathing heavily, he looked around the boulder he found and hid behind, looking in the direction of the explosion. Just a short distance away, Mister X walked through the explosion left behind, no more damaged than before. He could feel the injuries throughout his body, but so long as he could function in his task, he would not be deterred!
snap
Mister X snapped his head over to the boulder, taking off toward it. Yamcha's eyes widened comically as the android punched through the boulder, making him dodge away to avoid the sharp rock.
"Damn it! Need more time!" Mister X swung wide with an uppercut, making the Bandit feel the shockwave of force as it missed his chin by inches. He dodged back and to the side, as Mister X gave chase. Yamcha's aura was red and pumping furiously. Deciding to risk it, he used his excess speed, getting away from another attempted swipe from the android.
"WOLF FANG FI-AUCK!"
Mister X had gotten used to that pattern, expecting the Bandit to speed in behind. With Yamcha in a vice grip by the neck, he flew down, choke slamming the Bandit so hard into the ground that Yamcha felt like his back would shatter if he moved. Mister X moved him, picking him up by the neck and choke slamming Yamcha again. Standing up straight, Mister X observed the broken man groaning in the small crater that was made with his body. Looking out towards where he thought the others might be, he grabbed Yamcha's foot, nearly snapping it as Yamcha shouted out in pain from his back and foot, Mister X started dragging the Bandit behind him...
"Alright remember the plan and this punk should bite dust!" Master Roshi, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Sarada, Krillin, and Piccolo all flew with the 300-plus-year-old master. They heard another explosion, seeing a flash of light as they flew above.
"Scarface is going to get himself killed," Sarada said as she observed.
"Not quite, Princess, but he's done an exemplary job of pissing off the beast." Master Roshi said as they slowly descended.
Piccolo flew off, following his part of the plan as the others all landed in the middle of the forest.
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
They felt the planet quake slightly at the footsteps of the behemoth, who walked out into the clearing, dragging an unconscious Yamcha with him in tow.
"Y-YAMCHA!" Krillin shouted. Mister X stopped short of the group, looking at each before he decided on a course of action. He pulled the limp Bandit up with ease, holding him upside down with a disinterested look.
"Release him, fiend! You stand no chance now!" Master Roshi said as they all got into a stance.
Mister X looked at each of them, a slow, sinister smile playing on his face. With deftness, he launched the unconscious body of Yamcha toward Master Roshi, his first instinct being to catch his student, but was unprepared for the android's deceptive speed. Mister X flashed past the body, his speed getting by the master's defenses as he charged at him, palming him by the face and slamming him head-first into a tree, splintering it as Master Roshi cursed in pain. Krillin and Gohan had reacted fast, each phasing next to Mister X's head and each sending a kick to each side of his face. Mister X grimaced, slightly uncomfortable as he released Master Roshi, grabbing Krillin and Gohan faster than they expected, twisting and launching each to other sides of the forest.
"Chi-Chi, stay by me."
"Got it!" Piccolo and Chi-Chi were on Mister X in a flash. Mister X was using his arms to block most of their onslaught, moving just as fast to block the hellacious kicks and punches from the pair. Chi-Chi had taken Piccolo's advice, especially after the fight with Hercule. She may not have been as strong as the others, but damned if she wasn't more determined!
"HAAH!" She shouted out as she got lucky with a hard palm strike to Mister X's chin. It did nothing to him, making him more irritated than anything, but Piccolo had already followed up with a claw across the android's face, making the behemoth stumble back holding his face. Piccolo went to kick the android, but he moved his head back, swinging a counter hook into the namekian's stomach. Piccolo gasped from the pain but was thankful Chi-Chi went on the attack. Mister X was protecting his body, but sensing the attacks from the woman weren't nearly as strong, he tanked several hits from the woman, not flinching a bit when he went to swing his right hand forward, a massive fist looking to take the mother out.
Chi-Chi was already dodging away but watched in slow motion as a Destructo Disc whizzed by, nicking the android's hand and sending it just wide enough to avoid killing her. She was thrown away many feet, rolling as blood shot out of Mister X's wrist. He snarled as he looked at the Monk in disgust.
"W-Well uhh... you look like you could use a shave. Or two! I can give you tips!" Krillin smirked, knowing deep inside that one hit from this tank could send him to Otherworld.
Mister X shook his hand, looking at it before turning his fierce, dead gaze back to the Monk, taking a heavy step toward him. He didn't get far as Gohan, with another sword made by Piccolo in hand, tried attacking Mister X with it. Mister X blocked several slashes with his arms. They were superficial at best as the android's skin had proven difficult to pierce. Gohan tried going for the hole in the android's chest, but the sword was caught with both hands. They were stalemated as Gohan tried pushing the sword further as Mister X used more of his strength to keep it away.
Small explosions lit up Mister X's side as Krillin started peppering him with a litany of yellow blasts. They weren't enough to hurt the android, but they were distracting him as Gohan pressed further toward the wound, igniting his sword yellow.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gohan yelled, pulling out all of his energy. His aura flashed brighter as he got closer.
BOOM
Another blast, this one purple, exploded on Mister X's cheek. Sarada's hand was smoking as she fired more, each one hitting accurately in the same spot. Mister X was furious, using Gohan's momentum and moving to the side. The boy was thrown forward with a yelp into and through a tree. Sarada stopped firing blasts but was not prepared for the behemoth's speed as he ran toward her. She tried flying to the side to get away, but he caught her leg. In a frantic struggle, she went to kick Mister X in the face. It landed flush but it did little.
BOOM
An explosion from an energy blast hit Mister X in the back, charring his already smoldering shirt, but his skin was only lightly damaged. Another kick to the face turned the android's head back to the Princess but he was distracted by another blast hitting him in the shoulder, this one forcing him to let go of the Princess, who charged a blast of her own, throwing it into Mister X's face.
Krillin, Gohan, Chi-Chi, and Sarada watched as Mister X swiped away the smoke with his massive hand. Looking in several different directions, he went to pursue a course of action before another blast hit Mister X in the back.
Master Roshi, blood running down his mouth, had a hand out, lightly chuckling. The plan was coming together! Before Mister X knew it, all 4 warriors started flying in different directions, hurling blasts in different intervals, peppering the android as small, concentrated explosions lit up around him. He went to go toward one of them, but another blast from a different direction would get his attention. He took off in a random direction, catching up to Krillin and Gohan. He jumped up, slamming into the ground as they dodged away.
"Piccolo you up? Tell me you're starting?" Master Roshi asked as he fired another blast at Mister X's back.
A short distance away, Piccolo was charging his most potent attack. 2 fingers at his head, channeling a massive quantity of energy, smirking as it began to spark dangerously.
"ONE MORE MINUTE!" He yelled out. All the warriors stopped what they were doing, regrouping in a wide circle around Mister X. Master Roshi held out both his hands, sending a Thunder Shock Surprise at the android. Mister X began convulsing for several seconds, taking a heavy step toward the master. The Original Turtle upped the voltage, his eyes flashing as Mister X took another heavy step. Chi-Chi and Gohan both raised their hands forward, hitting Mister X in the back with a kiai, pushing the behemoth forward unwillingly. Sarada herself stood next to Master Roshi, purple energy charging at her hands as she let it loose. It exploded upon Mister X, angering him as he shook off the shocking effect of the Thunder Shock Surprise. The Z Warriors were expecting this, and to add to the building damage upon the android, a Kamehameha Wave from above and behind Mister X struck him, pushing the android further forward. Master Roshi and Sarada flew back as Krillin doubled the beam's intensity, shouting as he turned the Kaioken up. Mister X's body was now exposed, his shirt now burned away, but he didn't notice as he was bombarded further with energy blasts.
The plan was working! Curtailing the android in a certain direction, their strategy was proving too much for the android to anticipate. Krillin had disengaged the Kamehameha wave, joining the others in firing energy blasts. Mister X was involuntarily being pushed/blasted into a direction of their choosing! They kept doing this for nearly a minute until...
Mister X stomped forward, reaching for Master Roshi and Sarada through the haze of explosions and smoke, but they dodged away, only for Piccolo to be a short distance behind them, energy flexing at his fingertips.
"NOW PICCOLO!" Piccolo smirked at the master's call. 'Right on time!'
"TAKE THIS MONSTER! SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!" Piccolo extended his hand forward, firing the enlarged, overcharged piercing cannon. Mister X was not far away as everyone had made it away safely. The android had no time as the attack blasted through him effortlessly, flying off into space. Piccolo's fingertips smoked as he surveyed the damage.
Blood poured out of where Mister X's arm used to be. Piccolo had taken no chances, charging every last drop of energy he could muster.
"DIRECT HIT!" Krillin yelled up above as Mister X stumbled, his arm several dozen feet away from where he stood. Blood spurted out of the stump, making Gohan nearly lose his dinner from last night at the sight. Everyone stood or floated waiting to see what the android would do.
"This is where you fall over," Piccolo said, pulling his hand back. Mister X fell to a knee, gritting his teeth in a scowl of pain. Releasing his side with his lone arm, his head dropped, and blood started to ooze out of his mouth.
"Not bad, Giant," Sarada said, landing next to the Namekian.
"I'll say. Heck of a shot, Piccolo." Master Roshi said, landing on the other side.
"Hmph... Something doesn't feel right about this." Piccolo said as he continued to observe the stationary android. He noticed the subtle trembling of the non-responsive android.
Chi-Chi landed with Gohan and Krillin near Yamcha's still unconscious body. He had welts and bruises all over from his horrific ordeal with the android, but he was alive.
"I'm all out of senzu beans. Darn it." Chi-Chi said in frustration.
"It's alright Mom. After this thing is toast, we can go to Shepard's girlfriend Miss Tights." Gohan beamed as he thought about seeing little Axel again.
"You're right about that honey, we'll go right after-"
"HE'S GETTING UP!" Piccolo yelled, watching in dismay as Mister X got off of his knee, making it back to his feet. He stumbled a bit but held firm after a few seconds as blood continued to slowly spurt out of the stump where his massive arm used to be.
"Unbelievable!" Krillin said, eyes wide and mouth agape as he took a few steps back. Mister X shook for several more moments, his body shaking violently as blood began to bubble out of the stump.
Chi-Chi, Gohan, Master Roshi, Sarada, Krillin, and Piccolo all watched as Mister X roared, a deep booming roar that echoed in the sky, sending tremors of fear throughout. His body began convulsing even more as it rose in the air. There were no outward displays of power emanating from the android, but Piccolo could just feel that this was the start of something dreadful.
Part of Mister X's pants ripped as his legs bulged, as well as his body. What remained of his shirt shredded to ripped cinders, leaving his ragged, but chiseled chest on display as those muscles also grew as well. His eyes, which were white and dead-looking before began to fill with hateful red. The blood from the stump began to bubble as some kind of...
"Is that?"
"Oh, Kami." Chi-Chi could only feel for what this poor man must have gone through in his previous life as a grotesque-looking arm began to form. Mister X screamed as it must have been agonizing. Piccolo could somewhat sympathize, but even this went beyond his natural limitations. Master Roshi raised an eyebrow as the arm began to form what looked like a set of massive claws at the end. Sarada held the breakfast she had wolfed down on her way to the battle, but just barely. Gohan's eyes trembled as the android roared again, slamming back into the ground. The sight made the little boy terrified. He had stared down Frieza, but this...abomination was almost too much.
Mister X now towered over Piccolo, who he eyed with those now red death orbs. His shoes had ripped from his feet, leaving them bare. With now only a bit of his pants left to cover himself, Mister X did not care any longer.
Krillin silently powered up his Kaioken as the others all began to power up, but the android waited no longer. His heavier footfalls caved the ground beneath him as he rushed Piccolo, faster than ever. The others could hardly process the speed as the Namekian barely dove back from the massive claw swipe from the android, but did not see the left hook from out of nowhere, smashing into his jaw, breaking it and sending blood flying as he flew.
"PICCOLO!"
"GUUUUUYS!" Krillin yelled as Mister X next rushed Master Roshi and Sarada. Sarada was ill-prepared to get out of the way, but the master knocked her away as one of Mister X's claws penetrated his leg, saving the Princess' life.
"MASTER ROSHI! AAAAGHH! TIMES TWENTY!" Krillin yelled out, chancing it as he flew in, igniting a pair of Destructo Discs in his hands. Mister X looked behind, a sinister smile on his face as he turned, pulling his claw out of Master Roshi's leg and turning with it. Krillin flipped above it, pushing forward with one of his hands as Mister X swung the other. Blood spurted everywhere, even over the monk as Mister X's hand came back bloody and minced. The android screamed in pain, knocking Krillin down hard with his clawed hand, bouncing him off of the ground and kicking him so hard in the stomach with a straight kick that the monk bounced hard several times before hitting a tree head first, knocked out.
Sarada made it to her feet, looking over as Master Roshi lay there, slowly bleeding out.
"G-G-Guess he didn't hit an-an artery or-or anything heh heh heh heh." The master weakly said.
"Why did you save me?" Sarada said as she leaned down, energy in her palms as she went to stop the bleeding.
"W-W-well Yamcha would be YEOOOWWWWWW! Ow ow ow ow dang it lady!"
"Perhaps you will thank me later with a spar, seeing as you're the Scarface's master," Sarada said, keeping her eyes on the android, who wasn't far away. She pulled the master over to a tree he could lay down near.
"S-S-Sure thing, uhh...uhh...whew...Three hundred-something years and I never..."
Sarada turned from the weakened master who had saved her life, watching as Mister X went to pick up the unconscious monk, but was failing as his fingers had been chopped up and left hanging, but it didn't matter as the Princess ignited a Ki blade, something Yamcha had taught her and that her brother used apparently. She flew up just above Mister X's head, yelling as she swung down. Mister X hardly reacted as the blade barely made it an inch into his skin. Mister X felt the blade in his skin, shaking his body as the Princess was flung off before swinging his clawed hand back. The Princess was extremely lucky that she had only gotten hit with the back of the claws as opposed to the front, but the backhand was enough to throw the Princess away, ragdolling her viciously for several hundred yards.
Mister X roared softly, blowing out a breath at the inconvenience before reaching down with one of his smaller claws in his hands.
SCHTICK
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Krillin awoke in a shout of pain as Mister X impaled him by the shoulder, hoisting him up to his eye level.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Chi-Chi roared out, a streak of red lightning encompassing her as she punched Mister X in the face. It was enough to release the monk, but not much more than that as the android looked down at the woman who attacked her, raising his foot preparing to crush her.
"STOP IT!"
Gohan had seen enough, charging in like a speeding bullet, smashing a small fist into Mister X's face. This got the android's attention as he was knocked aside several steps, missing Chi-Chi as he struck out with his claws but the boy had his sword out, knocking the claws aside and swiping up. Mister X moved his head back, moving his body as Gohan went to pierce him yet again. Slowly, Gohan was driving Mister X away from his mother.
"YAH AH HA AH YAH HA!" He continued to swing as fast as he could, Mister X blocking the front of his body with his claws. Gohan jumped, striking down with all of his energy. Mister X blocked high, sending sparks as the metallic weapon and bony claws fought for dominance.
"I-I WON'T LET YOU KEEP HURTING MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!" Gohan yelled, pushing harder. Mister X grimaced for several seconds before swiping across, pushing the boy back before jumping up, head butting the boy in his stomach. Blood shot out of Gohan's mouth before he was sent sprawling away with a straight kick from the android.
"G-Gohan!" Chi-Chi said in fear, rushing to get to her son, but Mister X would have none of it, jumping and slamming down in front of the mother.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" She yelled, managing to duck below the android's attempted grab, getting under his legs. Mister X had reached for her but stumbled forward a few steps.
She ran, falling into the dirt next to her son, who was weakly coughing as blood left his mouth.
"Gohan it's okay. Mommy's here." She put her hand on his son's back, rubbing it and helping him to stand. He struggled as the pain was making it difficult. Chi-Chi ignored the heavy footfalls behind her, comforting her son for however long she could.
"Everything is going to be fine, Gohan. We'll get through-" Gohan barely looked up when Chi-Chi was impaled through her chest, blood flowing out of her mouth as she was lifted and tossed to the side.
"MO-MOM-" BOOM
Mister X walked, kicking the reaching boy hard as he was sent tumbling over and back. His eyes were wide, in pain, but there was more as he felt his mother's life force begin to diminish.
Rage
Slowly making his way to his feet, the little boy's body began to tremble. Mister X paid the boy no mind, not caring one way or another about his anger. He was about to strike the boy when a pair of green hands wrapped around the android's arm, pulling it away and missing Gohan by inches. But Gohan had ignored it, not hearing Piccolo scream in frustration as he flew in to battle the android. He didn't hear the struggles of his Mom trying to breathe anymore, nor did he feel out any of the others.
"GOHAN!" Piccolo yelled out, barely managing to hold onto Mister X as the android rushed the namekian. He barreled into Piccolo, pushing his elbow into the namekian's neck.
"GO...GO-GO...HAN!"
A lightning bolt struck near the boy, his trembling body not noticing, nor did he notice a figure fly in near his mother, slowly floating with her body away.
Piccolo hit the ground hard, followed by Mister X stomping on his face. The ground cratered beneath the android as Piccolo's head gushed blood from his ear. Mister X stomped down again, sending blood shooting out of Piccolo's mouth as Mister X pushed down on his chest, breaking the ground beneath him. Piccolo could only groan in agony. As he looked over, he saw the little boy, shaking uncontrollably as another thunderbolt struck nearby. A tree went up in flames as rain started to fall.
Gohan felt like his teeth would shatter. He could feel this...beast inside of him that wanted to make the monster pay for what had been done.
'M-Mom...Daddy...Daddy, what do I do?'
Gohan heard nothing around him as he felt his power try to burst from its confines. There was no sound around him, only the sound of his heartbeat thumping in his ears, a dull roar waiting to awaken the beast inside of him. His eyes flashed teal for several moments as his hair spiked up golden before falling. Another lightning bolt struck 2 feet away, the sound of it thunder-clapping near the boy's ears, but he was lost in his mind...
Master Roshi weakly managed to pull Chi-Chi out of harm's way. She was closer, and at death's door.
"Chi-Chi this is gonna hurt. Sorry, dear." His hands were coated in energy as he put them near Chi-Chi's stomach. She awoke with a shout of pain, sweat pouring down her face as the wind began to pick up. She didn't stay conscious long, seeing her son trembling a short distance away.
"Go...Go..." Master Roshi managed to stop the bleeding, protecting the wounds from the fierce winds that were picking up and the rain that continued to fall.
"I think...Gohan is gonna be just...fine." Master Roshi said as Gohan's aura flashed gold...
Piccolo's head was ringing as Mister X picked him back up, hurling him into a boulder. There was blood leaking from his ear, his mouth, and his nose, but he continued to fight. He was the only one left now. At least until...
Mister X drove a knee into Piccolo's stomach, sending a rush of blood out of the Namekian's mouth. Piccolo ducked the rest of the way below the heavy-handed claw strike from the android, reaching up and pulling at one of the claws.
"I-I WON'T MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU!" Piccolo, with all his strength, managed to rip one of the bigger claws from the android's arm, eliciting a roar of pain and a hook from the other hand, which had now become more of a stump with his fingers all missing. Piccolo's jaw caved as his head smacked into the boulder, making him woozy. Mister X headbutted the Namekian deeper into the crater before reaching back-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Red ran across his vision. No more tethers would hold the beast chained!
An explosion of golden energy rose into the sky as the winds became a torrent, the shout from the boy becoming primal as his energy continued to climb! The rocks around Gohan crashed in many places as his aura destroyed many of them, turning them into sand and pebbles.
Mister X and Piccolo both looked over, one grunting, the other smirking.
"You-You're in for it now, m-monster." Piccolo chuckled painfully as Mister X looked back at him, rearing his clawed hand back again-
BAM
"STOP HITTING HIM!" Gohan yelled, his eyes flashing an angry teal while his tail and hair were a golden-yellow. The newly awakened Super Saiyan hurtled forward faster than he ever did before, covering the distance between them in a flash and implanting his fist into Mister X's cheek. The android was sent flying back, hitting the ground and tumbling.
"Y-y-you did it…Go…Han." Gohan had no time as he watched Piccolo slide down the broken boulder, falling unconscious.
"I'll stop him Mister Piccolo! He won't hurt anyone else again!" Gohan said, gritting his teeth as he took off.
Mister X was slowly getting to his feet, blood leaking from his mouth. He made it the rest of the way, roaring at the little boy's charge.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan barreled into the android, sending him head over heels as he landed on top, slamming his little feet into the android's stomach. Mister X had blood coming out of his mouth from each shot. Having had enough, he swung his massive, clawed arm over, but Gohan had phased away, phasing to the ground and taking back off, slamming both feet into the side of Mister X as he was getting back up. Mister X was sent sliding away out of the forest, not too far from the desert. Mister X stopped his momentum, roaring out as Gohan charged at him again. Mister X dodged just to the side of the charge, grabbing the boy by his long hair and slamming the boy into the ground hard enough to crater.
"HAAAA!" With a shout, Gohan held out both hands in the crater, a yellow blast firing away as it slammed into Mister X's stomach. Gohan followed it up with several more before he got up and took off again. He phased ahead of the tumbling android and hit him with a kick, sending the android into the sky. Gohan phased above, driving both feet into Mister X's face, a loud CRUNCH echoing from the android's now broken nose as he was sent crashing into the Earth. Gohan phased down feet away from the hole, where the clawed hand began to pull itself out. Gohan growled, flying low and sending an uppercut into Mister X's jaw, making the android slide back as he hit the ground once again. Gohan held both hands up above his head, sparking yellow energy charging.
"MASENKO!" Gohan's blast caught up to the android, slamming into Mister X and pushing him away toward a mountainside.
BOOOOM
The explosion was huge, throwing up dirt and rock it sky-high.
Gohan took a breath, feeling his energy for the first time since transforming. He gasped. 'I-Is this...really me? Is this...Is this what Mister Piccolo was talking about?' He could just make out a figure in the distance, his newly tuned, far more refined senses saw something that made him gawk.
Mister X had tanked the explosion, all sense of pain or discomfort gone from his face as he ran back fast, busting through the smoke and picking up wafts of dirt and rock as his heavy feet crushed it beneath him.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
"Grrrr! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO STOP?" Gohan yelled in frustration, flying in, he didn't notice that Mister X had slightly mutated in the process of running toward him, a bigger, broader left hand replacing his stump. Gohan and Mister X met with fists in the middle, a crater forming below them as Mister X swung his clawed hand. Gohan dodged it as he finally noticed more...features about Mister X, some of which disturbed the boy. Veins were running up and down one side of the android's face. His burning, pale/blackened skin had volcano-like veins that protruded throughout his body. The only visible wear he still had was his shredded black pants, which were burnt to the point his legs were now exposed. Gohan processed all of this at such an insane speed, swerving around the clawed hand of Mister X. He went to punch the android in the face but Mister X caught the fist in his other hand.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan yelled out, a mouth blast erupting from his lips. Mister X released the hold and stumbled back as burns covered the upper half of his body.
BAM
Mister X was forced to cough up blood as Gohan's fist was embedded in his stomach before Gohan reared back, clocking the android with a vicious uppercut to the jaw. Mister X fell back, hitting the ground as Gohan landed nearby. He was breathing heavily, and the power that had exploded out of him was simmering down.
"Please stay down. I don't want to hurt you anymore, but I can't let you hurt the people I care about!" Gohan said, getting into a fighting stance as Mister X once again slowly rose to his feet, this time slower, clumsier as blood left in pools around his gaping mouth.
"Why won't you stop?" Gohan said in anger, getting into an offensive stance as Mister X stood fully, snarling at the boy. Gohan was about to attack before his senses caught wind of something above them as a shadow came across Mister X before it suddenly got a lot bigger.
SMASH
Gohan was forced to float back from the dirt that billowed up from the massive rock that fell on Mister X. Gohan looked up in confusion before a smile nearly broke his face!...
"Orange talk to me! Something weird is going on in the East I need to know about it!" Bulma nearly shouted out, talking and typing at the same time. The sensors that she had placed throughout Earth to detect high levels of fighting power were going haywire!
"Uhh, I can only speculate that there must be a massive fight happening over there!" Orange tapped a few buttons, working as fast as he could, but they were stopped when the door to their lab burst open, a small figure rushing over to them.
"We have to go Bulma! The others are in trouble!"
"TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW CHIAOTZU!" Bulma yelled behind her, her head growing comically huge as she did.
"Alright alright let me think...Uhh...Senzu beans? Do we have some?"
"I count...Ten." Chiaotzu said as he looked in the small satchel he brought with him.
"That'll have to do! Orange prepare the prototype jet I've been working on. We don't have time to go to Shepard's Islands for Senzu beans!" Bulma said as she threw on her light jacket.
"Let's go save the guys!"
They were in the air not 3 minutes later. Chiaotzu had taken his job of Capsule Corp Test Dummy quite seriously, letting Bulma experiment with a heap of different projects with him. He had made a lot of money over the last 15 months! But none of that mattered now as the new prototype, using a lot of the same schematics and retrofitting from the Namekian Pod that Piccolo came to Earth as a child in, blasted through the sky at 10 times the speed of sound.
"Not sure if these new rockets will get us there fast enough, but my beautiful self didn't put in all this work for nothing! Orange?"
"The power level that was close to eighty-five million has dwindled below...hold on...WHOAOAOAOOOO!"
"Orange?" Bulma looked back as Orange nearly fell back out of his chair.
"OUT WITH IT!" She yelled.
"A-a-a-a p-power level o-o-of-"
"IT'S GOHAN!" Chiaotzu yelled, running to the side where the emergency hatch was located.
"W-Wait Chiaotzu-"
"I'm gonna help Gohan Miss Bulma! The others are further ahead. They feel like they're not gonna last much longer!" Chiaotzu said, hitting the button as the door opened. A torrent of wind rushed into the cabin before the mime jumped out.
Chiaotzu could see the destruction of the battlefield below them, as well as a golden bullet screaming out of the forest to encounter... Whatever it was made the mime sick to look at, but he was not deterred as he watched them fight, it was clear that Gohan had the advantage, but even Chiaotzu could feel the embers in Gohan's energy burning rapidly.
He flew by the cliffside, cleaving off a heavy, flat piece of rock with his mind and flying with it. Chiaotzu watched as Gohan continued to beat down whatever monstrosity that he was fighting, but had seen enough. It was clear that Gohan was slowly running out of energy as he watched the thing stand again.
"Here goes! HA!" Chiaotzu held his hands out, now well and above the thing that Gohan was fighting, he released the weight of the stone from his mind, letting it drop freely.
SMASH
Chiaotzu smiled at his work, landing on top of the stone.
"Hiya Gohan! What amazing power!" He waved.
"CHIAOTZU! You made it! Th-the others are hurt in the forest behind me! Go and help them, please! M-my Mom too! I can fight this monster myself!" Gohan said as anger filled him once again.
"Don't worry! Bulma and Orange are already heading over there! I'm here to help you Gohan!"
"N-No you have to-"
CRACK
A large crack in the stone was all the warning Chiaotzu got as a massive hand broke through the top.
Mister X snarled as he slowly pulled himself out of the rock.
"W-Wh-What is-"
"NO CHIAOTZU GET AWAY!"
Mister X gave no warning, but Chiaotzu was prepared. Being Bulma's test dummy allowed him unfettered access to all of the new gadgets! His gasp was quickly replaced with a determined huff, hitting a small button on his side as Mister X reared back and swung as hard as he could. A short yelp was all that was heard as Chiaotzu was punched hard enough to be sent far away, easily out of eye view. The sight of it made Gohan's anger come back twofold.
"Y-You hurt him... YOU HURT HIM! AHHHHH!" Gohan roared out, his golden aura igniting once again around him as the wind picked up in the area. He rushed forward, his small foot impacting Mister X's jaw as he started bashing the android. Punches, kicks, elbows, a knee to Mister X's forehead followed by a short, fierce roundhouse kick to the android's jaw. The damage was taking effect as Mister X came back with a punch, but it was slower, allowing Gohan to easily see it, moving underneath it and using his whole body, he put all of his momentum into a hellacious elbow. Blood was forced out of the android's mouth as he was sent hurtling away, hitting the ground hard and sliding. Gohan landed on the ground, taking a deep breath. He felt he couldn't stay in the Super Saiyan Transformation much longer, so it was time. 'I-It's now or never! Kami, I hope this works!'
Gohan put both hands in front of him in the form of claws, shouting out as golden energy began building around him, pouring out in all directions. He watched in dismay as Mister X sat straight up, slowly.
"Stay down monster! I won't let you hurt anyone else, so stop fighting!" 'Please.' Gohan silently thought to himself as energy began building up in his hands. His aura encircled him as it began to build with electricity around him. Mister X used his massive clawed hand to stumble back to his feet. He still had a mission to complete. "Parameters?" He said, trying to bring up his creator's computer, but the processing chip inside must have been damaged, because he got no reply about his options. So he made a choice. Taking a step toward the boy, he flexed his claws.
Gohan shook his head sadly, gritting his teeth as he yelled out, his yell becoming a roar as dragons could be heard. 2 electrified blue balls of pulsing energy began to build up in his hands. 'Th-There's so...much energy!' Gohan had been refining his new technique since he first used it in the real world 6 months ago, and it was paying off as the energy balls began to form into a pair of thrashing, blue dragons, each looking far more menacing than when he first created the technique. Gohan had more control over the dragons now, each acquiescing to the boy's erupting power, feeling even more building up!
Mister X began running toward the boy, his clawed hand out in front of him ready to skewer the Super Saiyan!
"I'm sorry...DRAGON HELIX CANNOOOOOOOON!"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Mister X jumped up, ready to swing before a torrent of energy rushed him, blowing him away and upward. He yelled out as one of the dragons coiled around his body, squeezing and locking him in place as the other flew above before coming down in a roar.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR
The roar was punctuated by the steady, heavy thrum of electrical energy that coursed through the attack. Mister X could not defend himself as the other dragon bit down on his upper body, driving him to the ground with titanic force.
BOOOOOOOOOM
The explosion whited out for a moment before branching out in a massive flash, blinding the boy as the Super Saiyan power left him. Rocks, trees, dirt, and whatever wasn't uprooted to the ground was pulled up and destroyed with overwhelming force as the explosion breached the skies...
Gohan must have passed out from the explosion knocking him away because he woke up to near silence. His body was covered in agony and bruises and quite a few scratches. He pulled himself up by his elbows, unaware of the shadows dropping around him.
"He-He pulled it off!"
"We don't know that for sure!"
"M-Mister Piccolo?"
"GOHAN!" Another shadow dropped next to him, and as his vision finally came into focus, it was covered in the tears of his mother.
"I-I'm alright Mom," Gohan said as he hugged her back.
"I know Baby I know! I'm just so happy you're...that you're alive!" Chi-Chi was struggling to dry her tears. She was at death's door, being woken up by Chiaotzu with a Senzu bean in hand.
Forget what happened when Vegeta had attacked. This fight was the scariest she had ever been in!
"Can't believe I missed the whole thing," Yamcha said with a huff.
"Maybe if you weren't such an idiot and got yourself beaten then you would have seen more." Sarada huffed. The blow from Mister X had rendered her jaw broken and left unconscious, so being woken up to a scruffy Bandit feeding her a Senzu bean by mouth was...she didn't know quite how to feel about the experience. But she was alive, and more over pressed by Gohan's ability to become a Super Saiyan. 'I must discover more about this child. I will have to ask Scarface about him as soon as possible.'
The group stood in silence as Chi-Chi rubbed her son's back. A sound from the crater nearby snapped the Namekian's head in that direction.
"He's still alive, isn't he?"
"You're perceptive Roshi," Piccolo stated as the group walked to the lip of the near-mile-wide crater.
Chi-Chi put her hands around her mouth, a heavy gasp of horror threatening to leave her. Most had various degrees of shock. Gohan recoiled back in shame. 'M-m-my power...did that?'
Mister X was nearly lifeless in the crater. The only movement left was his now lone, burnt hand reaching up and grabbing dirt. His lower half was gone, jagged marks likely from the dragon's teeth sinking deep and tearing the android in two. But that wasn't all. No mortal man would have survived this. Mister X continued his fruitless attempt to get back to feet he didn't have, not so much as able to heave himself to the side, where his clawed arm had also been obliterated in the attack. All that was left was a burnt body with one arm. And Mister X continued clawing at the dirt.
Just behind them, the plane that Bulma flew over landed with a soft touch. No one turned behind as Bulma approached, echoing Chi-Chi's gasp.
"Gohan wait." Chi-Chi reached out for her son as he slid down the crater, heading toward the fallen android.
"Let him go, Chi-Chi. He needs this." Master Roshi said with a comforting hand on the mother's shoulder.
Mister X couldn't feel his body any longer. If he could just make it back to his feet... His brain was damaged, clearly not registering that he had no lower body anymore. Weakly clawing at the dirt, he still had a mission to complete.
"Kill..kill…capture……" another weak grab of the dirt, only to come back with no further progress. His systems were shutting down.
Gohan floated over, landing beside the struggling android. Mister X looked over, seeing the boy. His initial reaction to attack coming and only his hand reaching out and weakly falling. Gohan was wide-eyed, trembling as he watched the android try to reach for him again. This time Gohan caught the massive arm, holding it in place.
"I-i-I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. But you…you wouldn't stop. Pl-Please, don't be angry with me. B-But I had to protect my family and f-friends." Gohan watched with wide eyes as Mister X's struggles became weaker and his once red eyes began to dull to lifeless white.
"Cl...Cla...Cl...Claaark...G...Ger...Gero..." Gohan looked on, holding Mister X's hand as the android finally stopped struggling. Its weakening limb ceased struggling in Gohan's arms as it looked at the boy. His near, dead eyes slowly filled with a steel grey as what looked like a small tear left an eye. A small, dying smile graced his lips.
"Th...Thank...y…" Mister X's body finally gave out. His grey, human eyes stared at Gohan, now lifeless. Gohan's eyes were already watery before tears started flowing from them.
"Kami…" Piccolo's eyes were wide with horror.
"What is it, Piccolo?" Krillin asked, the others looking on.
"That…that thing we fought. I assumed it was another monster. An abomination. But…What he told Gohan… If it's true, then…then Gohan just killed what was once a human being." Everyone understood why Piccolo was horrified.
"But that human being was trying to kill all of you, wasn't he?" Bulma asked, not understanding the point of it all.
Chi-Chi's reaction was very different. She dropped down into the crater, flying over to her son.
"Chi-Chi wait-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gohan's scream, one of pain and realization, once again sent his power over the edge as his body was encased in gold. His mother was blown backward with force as the others were blinded!…
Will Chi-Chi be alright? What do you guys think about a Super Saiyan Gohan at 6-7 years old? That may change the interaction between Gohan and Goten( if he's born!). To be clear, Mister X was Android 10. So I know it's probably a bit typical that I would take from another franchise and adlib into a whole different Multiverse, but figuring we don't know the full details of what is canon in the DB Universe and what isn't, I took a bit of liberty in creating a Mister X suitable for this world and I got to say, this Mister X would pulverize Resident Evil's Mister X.
So next chapter, we are finally starting to get into the meat of the next Saga, so be expecting a potential introduction to our favorite sword wielding Saiyan soon! Maybe even next chapter ;-)!
Power Levels:
Mister X: 100,000,000
Altered/Transformed: 135,000,000
Piccolo: 88,000,000
Special Beam Cannon: 115,000,000
Yamcha: 60,000,000 (Kaioken Times 20!)
Sarada: 3,000,000 (Zenkai)
Gohan: 3,400,000 (Zenkai)
Super Saiyan: 170,000,000
Dragon Helix Cannon: 300,000,000
Everyone else's Power Level's are virtually about the same, with the exception of a small (and I mean SMALL) Zenkai. Where Krillin was at 2,600,000 last chapter, he might be at 2,650,000 this chapter. So a small change, but nothing impactful. So just to clarify, Master Roshi is using a Kaioken Times 20 and transforming into Max Power to stack it on top. Coupled with his power now with the Kaioken Times 20, the Max Power gives a 1.5 to 2x boost in power, so adding that to his power level, I rounded up to around 75,000,000. He will refine it more in the future ;-).
So a couple more what ifs I want to throw at you guys to think about for down the road? What if Old Man Shepard met up with Broly?(Vampa) Or what if Lord Beerus is awoken before he is supposed to be? How will Whis come into the story? I know I'm in the Dbz portion of this story, but don't think I won't swerve and have Shepard start breaking out the knowledge of Divine Ki! Anyways, I hope you guys like this chapter. I put heart into making sure Gohan got his proper dues. Until we meet again :-)!
