Dragon Ball GT: Last Stand (Part 3)

by ScorpioQ

Part three officially arrives. With FOUR major returns. Whom you'd say? Let's dive into another climatic BANGER as our heroes prepare for what's next as this legendary fan-made series continues! PS: I'm taking a well needed break for at least a few weeks to soothe my mental health and energy. I will FOR SURE be back and better than before

As the second half of episode 1 kicks off, everyone on the lookout would still have yet to form a plan as Piccolo concludes his explanation on his most recent journey before arriving back to earth:

Piccolo: "So there you have it. I used the first wish to ask Parunga to halt the battle with Omega Shenron for an HOUR and 30 minutes. That was 25 minutes ago."

Tien: "That explains it then!!"

Piccolo: "Explains what?"

Tien: "Omega IMMEDIATELY accelerated towards where the beach was before his injuries were fully healed from the beam struggle!!"

Vegeta: "Yes it's true. Gut feeling is, he's underwater taking his time recuperating to complete perfection before he decides to return to assault mode."

Goku, finally hearing all he needs to hear before getting up from a table as he'd just finished his very own full course "all you can eat" meal while snacking on a half of watermelon as his desert, as he walks over to the conversation:

Piccolo: "Then I made the first wish just in time!! Not only do we have just enough time to make this right, we're currently stacked with the weapons and tools to give Omega Shenron a nightmare."

Goku: "I just wanna say that I'm way more than happy to have you back with us Piccolo, even if it is just for a day. Now, before we sort out the plan, there's some huge adjustments I need to make. Dende, can the two of us have a word over there alone?"

Dende: "Sure we can."

Goku: "But first I need to HIT THE BIG BOYS ROOM, THAT MEAL JUST DECLARED WAR ON MY INSIDES!!!!!!"

Everyone would go from wondering how important this topic is for Goku to wanna speak to Dende on his own in private, to hilariously collapsing onto the floor. As this takes place, Gohan interacts with Piccolo for the first time since his death:

Gohan: "So you actually fused with the entire Namekian race on Namek. I get that. But how are you on par with BOTH my dad and Vegeta who have each evolved to SSJ4 at this point?"

Piccolo: "Well, since the Frieza crisis ended, Namek had been in serious talks of breeding their own powerful fighters throughout the planet so that they themselves could finally be able to stand a chance against evil on their own. It wasn't until Cell came along and Dende decided to become Earth's guardian until that decision was made final."

We'd be presented with a brief flashback of Goku (from the Cell Saga) communicating with Namek via King Kai from Other World to let them know that Cell had been defeated while thanking them for allowing Dende to become Earth's guardian which played a massive role in keeping the earth safe. As Piccolo continues speaking:

Piccolo: "Most of them have trained like hell and have kept this process in tact for decades for the strong possibility of finally being able to return the favor for earth for contributing to Frieza's defeat that day. Even though it's temporary, I have in me the strongest and most powerful Namekian warriors to have ever walked the planet. And they will reside within me battling to the all out MAX to keep this planet safe from evil."

Gohan: "That's incredible."

Vegeta: "Absolutely. We owe it to them to make this right."

As Goku and Dende would be way over where the stairs are, Goku makes sure Dende's back would be facing the others before beginning to talk with him:

Goku: "Alright, this is cool enough."

Dende: "So what's on your mind Goku?"

Goku: "Alright so, I'm gonna need you to keep your reaction to this as cool as possible. I don't need Piccolo and the others getting tight over this, so act wisely, okay?"

Dende: "I will do my best."

Goku: "I'm gonna need, the black star dragon balls, to wish me into an adult again."

Dende automatically FREEZES completely with a blank expression on his face. As Goku goes on to state:

"I understand that the planet is going through enough as it is with the actual dragon balls, but what other options do we have right now when I'm at the most vulnerable point in my life? No amount of training at this level will help me stand a chance against Omega Shenron at all."

Dende: "Goku, you are deeply aware of the consequences if those dragon balls aren't back on earth within a year right?"

Goku: "I'll be an adult already. I will have more than enough energy to Instinct Transmission to Namek and wish for Parunga to teleport them all back here. We must take this initiative if we want to save this planet again. I ask you Dende, the guardian of earth, to trust my plan as everyone here trusted you to save my life today."

As tears once again falls from Goku's face, Dende would emotionally have no other choice but to LISTEN to Goku's cries for help as he TIGHTLY hugs him as he also tears up:

"Let's save this planet Goku."

Goku: "I swear man, we will. We're gonna save the earth AND bring Shenron back. I promise buddy."

Goku wipes his face as he looks up with a heroic smile as the sun beams down on the character who has carried his world to many triumphs over the decades.

As the next scene plays off, we'd see ALL SEVEN of the black star dragon balls lined up perfectly on the floor of the lookout as light fuels from them. As everyone watches in shock and suspense, the sky is then filled with dark clouds as we'd finally be presented with RAGE SHENRON, the dragon first introduced at the very beginning of GT, who would make an appearance for the THIRD TIME in the Dragon Ball franchise.

But, our scenery automatically switches over to the ocean. OMEGA SHENRON would be completely finished healing as he'd rise head first from the waters seconds before taking a quick glance at his hands. He begins to notice something odd as he looks up into the sky.

The black star dragon balls would IMMEDIATELY take their course as they head towards the sky and beyond. The sky turns completely back to normal as the sun shines once more.

As we return to the lookout, Tien, Yamcha, Bulma, Bulla, Pan, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Videl, Hercule, and finally Chichi, would glare in complete shock, almost as if they've just unwrapped the greatest christmas gift of their childhoods. The scene transitions to a certain character's eyes, a second before revealing his entire face as we'd FINALLY be presented with Adult Goku, for the first time since the GT anime debuted, as he'd officially say:

"I'm sorry it took so long everyone. But I'm finally back. We don't have a lot of time as it is, so we have to get straight to business okay?"

Omega, looking up as if he'd just witnessed a solar eclipse for the first time in his life, would stare in complete shock as he goes on to respond:

Omega: "These insects with their games again!! Why was it that I had just forgotten that there were TWO DRAGONS ON EARTH?!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?"

Omega Shenron begins SCREAMING to the ends of his lungs as he massively powers up in an all-out rage as he then begins to produce his OWN dark clouds which increases at a rapid pace as they spread throughout one city after another like a raging wildfire.

As this happens, everyone on the lookout immediately notices the change in their scenery as Bulma responds by asking:

Bulma: "Wait, the dragon already granted the wish before taking off. Is this ALREADY some sort of after effect?"

Vegeta: "Nope. Far from the case. It's that bastard throwing a new fit. He must've seen the black star dragon balls taking off as he finished recovering."

Bulma freezes in horror due to Vegeta's statement. The echoes of Omega's screams can be heard across other towns, almost as if a man were being tortured to death. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo would stand unfazed from this while cautious at the same time as they'd be on the lookout for what could potentially have yet to unfold. As for Pan, for the first time, would be horrified for her life, as she goes on to respond:

Pan: "Someone please tell me that we have the strength to take him down already, because I've never been so terrified in my life."

Piccolo: "As a matter of fact we do. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and Goten, you're going inside the Time Chamber for some serious training. Gohan and the younger ones are gonna train for a year. Vegeta and Goku will need ALL THE TIME they can get."

Mr. Popo: "Understood."

Piccolo: "As for YOU Uub, the two of us need to have a private meeting."

Uub: "O...Okay man."

Vegeta turns towards Trunks and Goten as he shouts:

"C'MON LET'S GO!!!! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!!!!"

Gohan, Goten and Trunks make their way for the Time Chamber. Dende hands Goku the bag of Senzu Beans as he and Vegeta would be the last ones to walk inside. But right before the door closes, PAN AND BULLA immediately storms past Vegeta to enter the Time Chamber as well as he shuts the door.

As everyone looks in surprise and shock, Piccolo would be the only one on the verge of laughing his heart out at the scene. As Uub finally approaches Piccolo, he immediately asks:

"You want to talk to me?"

Piccolo: "Yes indeed. First thing's first, I don't intend for you to take this the wrong way as if I'm talking down on you or criticizing you of any sort. But why is it, that every time you're face to face with an opponent, you hide away your true potential?"

Uub looks down with a slight look of despair as Piccolo continues talking to him:

Piccolo: "You had the ability THEN to mop the wasteland with Baby. You could have reduced Super 17 into scrap metal. And yet from the dead, I have had to watch you hide away your full power time and time again. So tell me what it is that crosses your mind that whenever EVERY time a battle is yours to handle, you never give it your all?"

Uub: "Because I don't want to lose myself."

Piccolo: "Just because you're his reincarnation does not mean that he's gonna take control over you one day. Especially since Majin Buu is now a part of you. He's one of the kindest beings you can get to know. Believe me, I would not be telling you this if I didn't have knowledge of your powers. Believe in yourself Uub."

Uub looks back up at Piccolo as he begins to cry before saying:

"My trainer Goku always told me that giving up is never an option until you're completely battered and broken on the battlefield alone. I don't know what the future is going to look like Piccolo, but I'm sure as hell is gonna be there to secure a peaceful one even if I have to carve it up all on my own. This world is OURS, AND IT'S GONNA STAY THAT WAY!!!!!!!!!!"

Uub powers up as everyone looks at him with inspiration. Piccolo smiles and looks at him just as something happens out of the blue. Kibito Kai would mysteriously re-appear back at the lookout as this makes the others turn around in hysteria.

Piccolo: "I'm guessing you had gone to take a whiz?"

Kibito: "Not exactly. You see-"

Kibito Kai's explanation is IMMEDIATELY cut off by the sounds of not only wild thunder and an earthquake as Omega's screams begin increasing as he'd appear in the very next scene even bulkier, with his entire body completely BLACK as if he were dipped in ink while presenting glowing red eyes as his transformation takes a bigger toll on the planet.

We then return to the lookout as Piccolo automatically changes his question:

Piccolo: "Ok so, just how strong are you right now? And are you joining the fight?"

Kibito: "I know that I'm far stronger than when I faced off against Buu that time. I owe it to myself to take this opportunity to see how much I've evolved from that nightmare. My current strength next to the Z Fighters? IT'S GONNA BE FREAKING RADICAL MAN!!!! WAIT'LL GOKU, GOHAN, VEGETA, GOTEN AND TRUNKS ARE FINALLY READY TO THROW DOWN!!!! WE'RE GONNA-"

Videl karate chops Kibito on the back of the head before gently placing him onto the floor in the kindest way to shut him up.

Piccolo walks over to Tien and Yamcha for a brief conversation:

Piccolo: "Hey, Yamcha, Tien, you plan on joining this fight?"

Tien: "I'm choosing the backseat for now. Just off the strength that I might be in the way. I'm still sorting things out personally."

Yamcha: "Same here. Sometimes I wish I were on the level of a Saiyan just so Goku, Vegeta, and their sons wouldn't always be the ones coming in clutch at the last minute for this planet to have a positive future."

Piccolo: "It's not your place to shoulder that. Remember, every last one of us has had to take backseats, even death (points to his halo), to evolve to where we currently are. Time and time again, our past tribulations have gifted us with our own roles in allowing the earth to see another day. And as I previously stated to all of you, we are the Z fighters. And no amount of pain and agony will change that."

Finally, a door knob is heard turning. As everyone turns around, the door completely opens. Goten would be the first to emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as he'd be arguing with Bulla and Pan over who had the hardest training. Trunks also exits with his hand on his head as he'd have a headache from all the fussing.

Finally, Gohan walks out fully powered up with electricity sparking throughout his body. To non Dragon Ball fans, it would seem like he's in his base form. But real fans would already know that ULTIMATE GOHAN has officially made his comeback and is now making his GT debut!!!

But, this wouldn't be the only massive return that would catch us off guard. As Gohan would be wielding THE LEGENDARY Z SWORD, as he'd take another huge look at it right before remembering something. We'd be presented with another flashback involving Gohan and Kibito Kai:

As all the Saiyans would be inside the Time Chamber, Kibito Kai appears in front of them wielding the Z Sword:

Kibito: "I beg that you forgive the sudden intrusion, but we finally managed to fix the Z Sword."

Goku appears with a state of shock on his face as Kibito continues:

Kibito: "This seems out of the blue I get it, but we ARE Kais in the end. I suggest that you master the art of this sword and believe in yourself Gohan. I have faith in you."

Kibito hands Gohan the sword right before teleporting.

Gohan: "So the Z Sword's back eh? Well, here we go."

The flashback concludes as Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Pan, and Bulla all line up in front of Piccolo.

Gohan: "How long has it been now?"

Piccolo: "45 minutes. Are you guys ready to shut him up now?"

Uub, Goten, and Trunks: "YES!!!"

Dende: "Hold on, lemme heal your scars first from your training."

As this takes place, Piccolo watches as Dende finally heals Pan and Bulla to have a brief word with the half-saiyan females:

Piccolo: "Pan, Bulla, you wanna give Omega Shenron the ultimate run for your money just as bad as we do. But for now, I suggest you both stay and reserve your energy for when it's time to fight ok? I'll send Kibito to let you know when it's your turn to strike."

Pan and Bulla, with a saddened expression on their faces right before responding:

"Understood!!!!"

Piccolo: "It's gonna be a while, but please just be patient and on the lookout."

Piccolo powers up while also preparing to take off:

Piccolo: "Alright. LET'S GO!!!!!!"

Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Uub, and Kibito Kai power up as they FINALLY take off for battle. As Pan and Bulla watch, Bulla begins making a statement:

"I swear, that day is gonna come when we are the two strongest beings in the universe and it won't be funny."

Pan: "That's a fact."

The scenery finally transitions from the lookout to Piccolo, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Uub, and Kibito fly towards the battle. All six would be presenting serious expressions on their faces as they'd be the first group to take on Omega Shenron. Goten (with a bit of sweat dripping from his face) would be seen flying beside Gohan as he'd finally begin to ask a very serious question:

Goten: "Ok so, let's say we DO find a way to kill this guy, right, what do you think will become of the original Shenron? Would he just cease to exist or anything? What will happen next?"

As Goten slightly looks around at everyone, he sees that Gohan ULTIMATELY has his focus fixated in giving Omega Shenron the nightmare of his life. As Goten presents a worried look on his face, Uub gives his personal answer to Goten's question:

Uub: "I'm worried for Shenron myself Goten.

Just think about it like this, if I were being controlled by evil, would I want everyone including my entire planet to suffer and die if it meant that I wouldn't be put out of my misery for the sake of who I once was? Absolutely not. That's exactly how Shenron feels right now. We've eliminated our most brutal enemies to ever harm this planet with Shenron by our side, and this time is no different. Will our dragon make back from this? The first way to find out, is to give Omega Shenron, the chaos that's coming for him!!"

This marks the end of Part 3, and the conclusion of episode 1. Stay tuned for Part 4
