This is
the sequel to 'The Fall of the Warrior Woman'. I didn't make any money off of
this and all characters belong to Akira Toriyama.
The Revenge of the Warrior Woman
By Maria Cline
Chi Chi was upset because she was now in the Next Dimension Station with no
Goku in sight. "Chi Chi?!" A familiar voice called out as she looked
behind her to see Yamcha, Tien, and Choutsu standing there.
"Yamcha! Tien! Choutsu!" Chi Chi cried out as she ran up and embraced
her comrades. The group sighed as they returned the group hug. Another one of
them had been killed in the battle leaving Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillian behind.
But, Chi Chi had a family while the others didn't. Yamcha did have Bulma but
their relationship had been rocky.
"Chi Chi, you're dead?" Yamcha asked.
"I... that android killed me. I fought so hard but that machine just
killed me." Chi Chi explained in frustration. It was bad enough that she
was killed but by an alien sex toy that have no emotions. She didn't even have
a chance to strike at the Saiyans themselves.
"Oh man! And we were so hoping you were going to destroy those
Saiyans." Tien muttered, "You're just as strong as Piccolo." He
was shocked about how weak Chi Chi was compared to the two Saiyans. She had
always been very strong and willful. If someone like Chi Chi and Piccolo fall
so easilly as well as himself, what kind of chance would Goku have?
"I know." Chi Chi grumbled, "Where's Goku?"
"He left just before you came here." King Yama answered.
"WHAT?!" Chi Chi boomed as everyone, even the god fell over. "I
just been through so much training, praying, and even dealing with those
horrible Saiyans and that toy of theirs and he just left just when I came
here?!" When she was killed, a part of her wanted to be with Goku again.
Even if it was just to see him leave for Earth to take care of the Saiyans, she
wanted to see him just one more time.
King Yama got up from behind his desk and gulped. While he had lived through
the experience of a horde of evil people coming to him, like the entire Red
Ribbon Army and Radditz, he could never handle the wrath of an angry scorned
wife. "He was in a hurry."
"And now, I'm dead." Chi Chi moaned sorrowfully as she sat down on
the cloudlike floor of Yama's palace. She can't be with Gohan or Goku in their
most desprate battle. Now, the best she could do is wait to see if Gohan and
Goku come here to the Next Dimention.
"Don't worry, Chi Chi. There's still the Dragon Balls." Yamcha said,
"I mean, we just have to wait a year and we'll come back to life."
"Don't count on it." Piccolo said as he and Kami entered the gates
with halos over their heads. Everyone except for King Yama face faulted.
"Piccolo?! Kami?! What are you two doing here?" Chi Chi screamed in
shock. Now, she was frightened. Piccolo and Kami died and with them the Dragon
Balls and any hope of coming back to life.
"We died. I saved Gohan from Nappa." Piccolo explained, "Kami
died because he was linked to me. But, what are you doing here? I thought
you're still alive."
"I'm not!" Chi Chi argued. While she was happy that Piccolo save
Gohan from the saiyan, she was confused. How can Piccolo thought that she was
alive? She knew that she was dead. She did end up in the Earth check in
station.
Yamcha and the other warriors looked at each other equally confused. Yamcha
glanced up at Chi Chi's head and gasped. "Chi Chi, yo- your halo."
Yamcha said as he pointed up at Chi Chi's head.
Chi Chi looked up and saw only half a halo floating over her head.
"Huh?" She knew that a halo over a person's head means that the
person is dead but she never heard of a half a halo over a person's head.
"Oh... look at this." King Yama said as he looked at his directory.
"Apparently, you are only in a very deep coma, just barely on the edge of
death and life."
"What?!" Chi Chi was now even more confused than ever. She was really
alive but in a coma? If so, what will happen to her soul? Is she brain damaged
or worst?
"Let me explain." Kami said as he bowed. "Chi Chi, you are not
dead like we are. But, you're not truly alive either. Wench had mentally forced
your mind to be shoved out of your body and into somewhat state of limbo. A
weaker person would be brain dead by that assault but you are different. Your
sheer will had kept you at least partially bonded to your body. You are... the
most correct term for this would be a Spirit. You can project your astral form
anywhere you wish and you will have abilities in that form and pure physical
attacks like punches will have no effect. In that form, you can do anything
with your mind like a psychic; telekinesis, telepathy, and if you work hard
enough, you can actually touch and manipulate objects on a limited basis.
But... you must be careful. You will still be somewhat vulnerable to Ki attacks
and mental attacks. And if you die, you will vanish completely."
"So, I can go anywhere I want now? Anything else?" Chi Chi asked in a
sense relieved. She was alive and could help Goku and Gohan. Of course, she may
not be seen or heard and can't touch anything but she didn't have to wait in
the Afterlife.
"You can also possess others especially if they are unconscious. You can
possess those who are still conscious but only if they desire it." Kami
said, "You can also let yourself be seen with anyone as long as you will
it."
"Good. Then, Gohan and Goku would be able to see and hear me." Chi
Chi muttered, **Good. I have to give Goku a peice of my mind after this whole
mess is done with. I want to be there till the end.**
"Also, since you are technically alive and dead, you can come here any
time you wish."
"So, I can communicate with anyone here." Chi Chi said, "Good.
I'm going back to Goku."
"Huh?" Yamcha asked as he ran up. "You gotta be kidding! If you
die, you'll vanish. Boom, no Dragon Balls to save you." He was worried for
his friend. Yamcha had always liked the woman, even if the first time they met
that he knocked her unconcious. But over the time he trained with her, he
gained a new respect for the woman. Chi Chi was willing to sacrifice her dream
for a normal family life to make sure that her family lives.
"I don't care. I'll die for Goku again." Chi Chi said as she walked
away, "How can I come back to this place of the dead?"
"Just use your mind." Kami advised, "You can transmit yourself
to us. Just focus and concentrate."
"Right." Chi Chi ran through the gates and back to Earth.
*****
Goku was angry. Actually, that was a complete understatement. He faced Nappa
and yelled, "Kaio-Ken attack!!!" A red Ki flared around him as he
tensed up. He can feel his power heighten to match his rage. The rage and anger
of his friends' deaths. The rage and anger of his wife in a coma and unable to
wake up for him. The rage and anger at himself for ariving too late to prevent
the misery. **This is for you, Chi Chi.** He thought as he ran up to Nappa and
in one swift move, broke his back. He could've killed him. It was simple enough
for Goku to do. But he still had his humanity, and while he hated Nappa, he
didn't want to show Vegita that he will stoop to the Saiyan's level.. yet.
Vegita's eyes widened as he watched Goku toss Nappa at him. Goku was strong
enough to handle Nappa by himself. That showed some promise. Despite the fact
that Nappa was pathetic compared to him, Goku was much stronger than the
others. **At last someone halfway decent. He is the Saiyan. But how did he get
that much power in such a short time?**
"Ve-vegita. Help me." Nappa pleaded, "With our combined powers,
we can defeat him."
Vegita held out his hand and picked up Nappa. "I don't need your
help." Vegita said as he tossed the behemoth up into the air and
disintegrated him with a powerful blast projected to his body. There was no
remorse nor guilt on his face.
"You... killed your own friend?!" Goku exclaimed in pure shock. **Oh
man, Vegita is so evil. He's like a monster. He just killed a fellow Saiyan and
we're kinda rare.**
"He's not my friend. He was an asset." Vegita replied coldly.
"He just turned into a liability. Now, you have to face me."
Goku felt chills ran down his spine. He could already tell that Vegita's power
is far more than Nappa's. He won't be as easy as Nappa and for some strange
reason, he was actually eager to see if he can win. "Okay, but at a
distance." Goku said, "Away from here."
"Fine. You can choose your burial."
**Gohan and Krillian are still close by and they might get hurt. And Chi Chi is
no position to defend herself if anything happens.** Goku thought as he flew
up. He didn't want to be responsible for anyone else to get killed. If he
wanted to cut loose, he want it where he can't kill anyone by accident.
The two Saiyans flew to a more rugged deserted canyon. There weren't even any
animals around. "Here." Goku said as he landed.
"Good."
*****
Chi Chi flew in her new form. She was much faster than before she had her body.
"Gohan. I have to see Gohan." She muttered as she felt herself drawn
to a Ki. "There." She muttered as she vanished and reappeared next to
Gohan and Krillian as they flew to the island with her body on the Nimbus.
"Oh my god." Chi Chi muttered, "Goku's fighting Nappa and Vegita
by himself?" She wasn't sure what to think. After all, Goku had always
seem stronger than any other warrior. Like herself, Goku wouldn't want his
family to die. Would it be possible for him to be strong enough to handle the
two Saiyans by himself? She knew that if anyone can defeat them, Goku can.
"Did you hear something?" Krillian asked Gohan.
"Yeah. I thought I heard Mommy." Chi Chi gasped as she waved her hand
in front of her son. It was true what Kami say, Gohan and Krillian could hear her
and she wasn't even trying.
"It's just your imagination. Just keep on going." Krillian insisted
as he looked at Chi Chi's body again. **Or is it? Oh man, this battle is worst
than the time Piccolo attacked the Tournament. At least in the Piccolo battle,
no one died.**
Chi Chi watched the two. **I must be invisible to them. No, I'll wait till
they're back so I can tell them.** Chi Chi thought as she flew beside them.
*****
Goku breathed deeply as he finished trying to fight Vegita in Kaio-Ken mode x 2.
It barely fazed the Saiyan warrior. **Oh man. Kaio-Ken x 2 is no good. Looks
like I better try out times three. Please hold up, body.** He knew that he
could handle the double Kaio-Ken attack easilly but he never tried the triple
Kaio-Ken attack. King Kai himself insisted that a triple Kaio-Ken attack is too
much for Goku to handle. But, Goku had always been the type to push the limits
of his own body when the situation demand it.
Goku took a deep breath as he focused his body. He had to give everything he
have on Vegita if the Earth were to be saved. In his mind, he thought of Gohan
and Krillian, injured and tramatized at the warriors' deaths. He also saw Chi
Chi not as the warrior woman who was in a coma but as the lovely wife who he
left to train. Why did she have to suffer thanks to him? "Kaio-Ken ATTACK
TIMES THREE!!!" Goku yelled as the Ki around him flared. Every muscle in
his body buldged to like he never felt before. He could feel his Ki sense,
sight, smell, hearing, touch, and even taste enhance. While his power
increased, he could feel the strain there. He won't have much time to battle
Vegita. Hopefully, it will be enough.
Yajarobie who was hiding behind a rock gazed up and watched Goku's muscles
inflate like a blow up toy. The sight was interesting and yet frightening.
"Oh man."
*****
Gohan slowed down and looked behind him. His father's Ki had multiplied a great
deal.
Chi Chi also felt the power change and she looked behind her. **Goku's power is
rising too fast. It's not natural. Even if he can power up like I do, he
shouldn't power up so rapidly. Something's not right and Gohan and Krillian's
not even aware. Oh well. They're too weak for Vegita. I'm stronger than them
and I was no match for Vegita. Hang on, Goku. I want to be there in spirit to
save you.** She flew back to where she can feel the abnormally strong Ki.
*****
The two fought hard at equal levels. They fought at equal speed and strength,
not giving in to the pressure. Finally, Goku's muscles strained as he landed on
the ground. Vegita landed on a cliff above him. He wiped his face and saw blood
on his glove. "Blood. I shed blood thanks to this worthless trash! THIS I
CANNOT ENDURE!!!"
Goku looked up. "Oh man." He muttered as his body shook. The rush of
power is fading and is replaced by a pain. The same type of pain that comes
from working out without warming up. **Vegita's tough. If this drags out, I
wouldn't hold out. He's so strong. Do I have a chance? Yes! He doesn't know
that I'm in bad condition. I have to win! I can't let anyone down again!**
"FOOL!!! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS PLANET!!! THAT'S WHY I'M DESTROYING IT
IN ONE BLAST! PREPARE TO DIE, KAKAROT!!!" Vegita boomed as he flew up and
started powering up.
"What... is he doing?" Goku asked out loud.
Vegita's hands glowed. "GAAAALLLAAAATICCIC..."
"Oh shit! KAIO-KEN ATTACK TIMES THREE!!!" He screamed as he went into
Kamehameha position. "KAAAAAMMEEEEHAAAMEEEE..."
"GUN!!!"
"HAA!!"
Goku and Vegita maintained their Ki blasts in a struggle to overpower one
another. Yajarobie who was hiding behind the rocks, had to struggle to maintain
his footing. "WHOA!!!"
Chi Chi landed in time to see the two blasts. Even in her non-body form, she
could feel the blasts' power. Goku's body tensed as he kept on firing.
"KAIO..KEN...ATTACK... TIMES FOUR!!!" He knew that his already weak
body couldn't handle a quaduple Kaio-Ken attack but if he didn't push any more,
he will die anyway with the planet. A new rush of power and pain overwhelm him
as he powered up his blast.
His blast grew much larger than the purple beam and overwhelmed the Saiyan.
"NO!!! he was stronger?!" Vegita exclaimed as the blast took him far
above him and into space.
Goku gasped for air as he hunched over. He was completely exhausted and his
body was overwhelmed with pain from channeling of so much power. Every part of
his body was aching and begging for rest. **Oh man, what a rush.** He thought
as he breathe heavilly. Even breathing seem to hurt for him.
"Goku!!!" Yajarobie yelled as he came out.
"Ya-yajarobie?!" Goku asked as he looked at the short samuari. **How
did he get here?** He didn't sense the man around but he was occupied.
"Goku!" Chi Chi joined in as she focused her power and appeared to
the two warriors.
"Ch... Chi Chi!!! How?" Goku asked, "You..." He couldn't
finish the sentence. In front of him was his wife, translucent to his sight but
still there.
"I'm in a coma. I know." Chi Chi explained, "It's a long
story."
"How did you get into that coma?" Yajarobie asked. He felt lucky for
avoiding the fight with the Saiyans. Unlike the other warriors, he couldn't fly
and have a limited Ki sense. He couldn't even fire a Ki blast. He's just a
regular fighter with a katana to fight with.
"... I was fighting the Saiyans! And where were you?!" Chi Chi demanded.
She was there when Yajarobie trained on the Lookout. He didn't do much
training. All he did was eat and dodge attacks. In fact, the first spar she had
with him, she beaten him up senseless.
"... I was calming the public." Yajarobie insisted. "I was doing
my part."
"Maybe in taking the credit." Chi Chi snarled as she went up closer
to the samurai.
Yajarobie gulped as he stepped back and went closer to Goku for protection.
"Well... Goku here is the real hero. Wow, you were awesome!"
Yajarobie complimented as he slapped Goku on the shoulder. The hero screamed in
agony.
"Yajarobie!" Chi Chi screamed in anger and shock. She knew how weak
Yajarobie is and that a simple slap on the back shouldn't cause Goku that much
pain.
"I didn't hit that hard." Yajarobie muttered in confusion.
"I... overdid it a little. I pushed myself too hard. Every... muscle in my
body is sore." Goku admitted as his body shook. That was a complete
understatement. His body wasn't just sore, it was hurting bad.
"Oh... typical Goku." Chi Chi sighed as she smiled, "Always go
in head first."
"At least it's over." Yajarobie said, "And here we are standing
in victory!"
"No..." Goku said as he looked up. Vegita's Ki showed itself to him.
He could feel Vegita's anger and power. "You two better get out of here.
Vegita's still alive and pissed off."
"What... but... you were stronger than him! You can just defeat him
again!" Yajarobie insisted.
Chi Chi tried to slap the samurai on the head only for her hand to phase
through. "Goku's exhausted! He can't fight any more like this. I can feel
Vegita now. He's alive, mad, and coming this way!"
"Oh." Yajarobie ran off and returned to his hiding spot.
"Well... good luck!"
"Coward." Chi Chi muttered, not surprised at Yajarobie's reaction.
"You better go too. You're already in a coma and I don't want you to get
any worst." Goku said as he gazed at his wife's form. He couldn't stand
the thought of losing her again.
"No. I'm not leaving you like this with only him to help you." Chi
Chi insisted. "I'm staying." Her form vanished but her voice
remained, "I won't leave you. I love you too much to make you face this
alone." She knew that a typical fight with Vegita is impossible but maybe
she could help him. At least, maybe she can distract Vegita or something.
Goku nodded and smiled at her. He couldn't change her mind. Chi Chi's
persistence was something he couldn't never battle. At least if something
happens, Chi Chi won't get affected. "Okay."
Vegita reappeared in the sky. "So... you think that you can fool me by
destroying the moon, Kakarot?"
"What... is he talking about?" Goku asked confused.
"I don't know." Chi Chi muttered. "When I was training with
Piccolo and Gohan, Piccolo told me about how he destroyed the moon so the
Saiyans can't use it to get stronger."
"How come? I looked at the full moon and nothing happens to me." Goku
muttered.
"You fool!!! Don't you know your own power?" Vegita focused and
created a Ki ball. "Moonlight is only sunlight reflected... but only when
reflected by the moon does it contain green spectrum radiation. When the moon
is full, that radiation exceeds 17 million zeno units per second and when we
absorb that full amount through our eyes, that radiation set off a certain
gland in our tails and we transform!" He held up the ball eagerly.
"No matter what size the moon is, only a full moon produce 17 million zeno
units. However, we created a certain technique that only the greatest Saiyan
warriors can do. We can create an artifical moon that will make 17 million zeno
units!" He laughed evily as he rose his hand to flung the ball. "You
will wish that you haven't lose that tail of yours!"
"My... tail?" Goku questioned as he gazed up. He didn't fully
understand what Vegita said but he knew that it must be bad news for him.
"His... tail?" Chi Chi repeated. **What is it about his tail?**
"Ha!" Vegita screamed as he flung the ball of light over Goku's head
and he lifted his fits. "Burst and mix!!!"
The ball of light expanded and transformed into a giant glowing orb. "What
he's doing with that light?" Goku wondered.
"I don't know." Chi Chi muttered as the Saiyan stares at it and
laughed.
His pupils vanished and his fangs showed. The Saiyan grew as well as his Ki.
"Oh my..." Chi Chi gasped as the Saiyan transformed into a giant ape
wearing Saiyan armor.
"That form... looks so familiar to me." Goku muttered and then he
yelled, "My grandpa!!! You killed my grandpa!"
"How?" Chi Chi asked, "Your grandfather died a long time ago!
Before the Saiyans get here! Unless... no..."
"Ha ha! You are an idiot! All Saiyans transform like this. All Saiyans
with tails that is."
"Saiyans... with tails?" Goku muttered as he thought back. All the
times he saw the full moon while he had his tail, he couldn't remember anything
after he saw the moon and thought he was asleep. Now, he knew. "I... that
monster who killed Grandpa and attacked the Tournament was all me?!"
"Goku... I'm sorry. I had no ideal." Chi Chi confided as she tried to
put her hand to his shoulder. She didn't know how the transformation could
happen or why no one else had ever told her. Gohan could've accidentally see
the full moon when he had his tail and destroy everyone and everything. **Is
this how savage Saiyans are?**
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Goku muttered.
"Now... die!" Vegita boomed as he lunged forward.
"No!" Chi Chi flew in front and tried to stop him. She phased into
his body and saw Vegita's mind. Images of his life flashed before her eyes as
she came out of the other side. Suddenly, she saw a small white and purple
creature with long black horns. She didn't know who or what he is but it had a
name. **Freeza?** She thought as Goku dodged Vegita's grasp. Chi Chi felt
helpless as Goku ran away from Vegita who was just strolling at a normal pace.
She wasn't completely comfortable in her new form and she didn't know what was
going on.
"You can't run forever, Kakarot." Vegita said as he kicked Goku down
with his massive foot.
"THE TAIL!!! GOKU!!! TRY CUTTING OFF THE TAIL!!!" Chi Chi screamed.
She remembered how Vegita bragged about Saiyans with tails transforming. It had
to work. Maybe, if Vegita lose his tail, he will get weak and go back to his
normal form.
The warrior understood his wife completely. He didn't know why he didn't think
of it before but it was worth a shot. He was exhausted and he had to weaken
Vegita enough for the remaining warriors to finish. Goku yelled, "KAIO-KEN
ATTACK!!!" He flew up and tried to cut off the tail. Vegita slapped Goku
down with his tail and he was flung into the air and stopped as he rubbed his
eyes.
Vegita lunged at him again yelling, "Don't die, boy, before I kill
you!!!"
"Shut up!" Chi Chi screamed as she lashed out, "KAMEHAME
HA!!!"
The bright blue beam flew out of her hands and through the ape. Vegita blinked
for a second as Goku frowned. "I don't believe something so big can move
so fast."
"I know." Chi Chi agreed. Vegita's ape form defies logic. He's super
fast and super strong and worst is mad at the planet. What can they do against
a monster like that?
"I need to power up. I need to concentrate for ten seconds!" Goku
then prayed, "Tien! I'm stealing your move!"
He flew up in front of Vegita and yelled, "SOLAR FLAIR!!!" A bright
blast shot out of his face and blinded Vegita. Unfortunately, Chi Chi was
blinded as well.
Chi Chi floated with her eyes closed. "Goku..." She muttered as she
rubbed her eyes. She knew one thing about her condition, she can be blinded by
a solar flair. She blinked and saw Goku on a narrow pillar of land with his
hands high in the air.
"What is he doing?" Chi Chi wondered as she flew up and heard him.
"The earth... the winds... and all living creatures... give me a little
bit of your power to me, for this planet... please!" Goku pleaded as he
stretched out his hands.
Chi Chi looked around and watched beads of light trickle from the land and from
her body. The beads of light flowed into Goku's body.
She watched awestruck as the power flowed from the very planet, from every
living plant, animal, and human to this man and transformed into a small
glowing light. It shone with great beauty and power. Perhaps enough power to
destroy Vegita.
"DIE!!!" Vegita boomed as a blast shot out of his mouth. Chi Chi
turned and dodged the blast out of instinct.
"GOKU!!!" Chi Chi screamed as she watched Goku's grip of the ball
loosened and he let go. The Ki ball crashed into the pillar destroying it
completely in a giant explosion.
The Spirit felt the blast and was flung through the ground. "My
head." Chi Chi muttered as she sat up. "Goku!" Could he survive
his own attack like that? The explosion was great and Goku was very weak. She
frantically looked around and finally saw her Goku lying there breathing,
dazed, but okay.
Goku struggled to his feet muttering, "Stupid! Stupid! I should've noticed
he did something like that." He held his bloody left shoulder in pain. He
lost his last and only hope for getting Vegita. The warrior closed his eyes a
little and felt just a small amount of the power left. But he couldn't create
another Spirit Bomb with his strength and even if he could, it wouldn't hurt
the mammoth ape.
"You got spunk, boy! But you ran out of everything else, didn't
you?!" Vegita laughed as he lunged forward.
Goku raised his right fist weakly. Chi Chi stood in front of him. "Goku,
you're weak. Run." Chi Chi insisted. Goku have no chance of fighting
Vegita now. The best he could do is run away and maybe get someone to help him.
"I... put everything in that blast. I... have nothing left. I can't
run." Goku admitted.
"It's about damn time!!!" Vegita said as lunged forward.
"You bastard." Chi Chi growled as she focused herself to Vegita.
"Well... the wench. And she's a ghost!" Vegita laughed as he went
through and swatted Goku around and finally stepped on his legs.
"Goku!" Chi Chi screamed as she blasted Ki blasts at the behemoth
only to watch them go through him. "NO!!!" She was angry. There's
nothing she could do against him except watch as Goku lay there beaten but
still alive.
"Oops! Looks like I just accidentally left you alive!" Vegita laughed
again as he pointed his finger up. "You better hope that you die or would
you rather live to see the world and your wench die!" The mammoth ape
pushed his finger down. Chi Chi cried out as she flew up and went through the
ape. She hovered there feeling helpless as her beloved lie on the ground dying.
"Shut up! Just shut up! You beat me, I admit it... you-you were stronger
than me." Goku gasped out, "But... if you think that is... something
to be proud of... just remember... you will pay... someday..."
**Chi Chi, move out of the way. I have one more blast.** Goku thought out.
Chi Chi looked behind herself and saw Goku's fist glowing with power. His life
force was getting tapped to a very weak point. Maybe, he just wanted to hurt
Vegita one more time before going off to the Next Dimention. She moved out of
the way as Vegita loomed above him. She watched Goku lifted his hand and shot
out a single blast into Vegita's eye.
Vegita was shocked as he stood up and held his eye. "You... you scarred
me!!!" He screamed as he removed his hand from his eye.
"That... was... the last... bit of... my energy." Goku breathed out
as he slumped down to the ground. "Heh... can't even move my... hands...
now... Chi Chi... I... love... you... Vegita... now... you can do... what you
want." He was exhausted and in great pain. He couldn't even move if he
wanted to. He was never afraid of death. The only type of death he was afraid
of is the meaningless type. But now, he is ready to give up the fight and
surrender. He had said his goodbyes and he told Chi Chi how much he loved her.
It came to him that he never told her how much she loved her. Maybe, she will
completely forgive him for what he did to her.
Chi Chi's heart froze in her chest. Well, if she had a heart in her spiritual
form. Goku gave up. He was waiting to die. "No..." Chi Chi moaned as
she sat down on the rocky ground. She had never known Goku to give up. He had
always been one of those types who won't quit no matter what. This was the
first time she had known him to give up.
Vegita snatched Goku up into his huge hands and held him. "Now, prepare
for a slow painful death." He said as he held Goku and slowly began to
crush the man. Victory was his as usual. True, it's taking him longer than
necessary to defeat them and he still didn't get the Dragon Balls. But, he
still will destroy the planet and win.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" Goku screamed as he arched his head back in pure pain.
"Goku!" Chi Chi flew up next to Goku and felt his pain in her bones.
**Chi Chi! Go!**
"I... won't..." Chi Chi vowed as Goku screamed verbally as sounds of
bones crushing fill the air. **The only one who can save us now... is...** She
paled at the thought, **Yajarobie. Oh great.**
"Look! More bones crushing!" Vegita laughed again at the torture of
his captive. He gazed at Chi Chi. "So... wanna see how long he will
scream, wench?"
"You bastard!" Chi Chi screamed. "Stop it!!!" **I can't
fight him! I can't touch him! All I can do is watch him!**
"Hey!" A young voice yelled.
Chi Chi and Vegita looked down on a cliff to see Gohan standing there.
"Leave my Daddy alone!" Gohan ordered as he hid every ounce of fear
in his voice. His instincts was right, his father was in danger and he,
Krillian and Yajarobie were the only ones who can save him.
"Gohan!" Chi Chi screamed as she focused on Gohan. She didn't want
him here. Gohan was no match for Vegita, even in normal mode. Why did he come
here?
"Mo-mommy?!" Gohan gasped in shock to see his mother floating there.
The last time he saw her, she was unconcious and on the Nimbus.
Chi Chi floated down to Gohan and said, "Don't worry, I'm not dead. I'm
just outside of my body right now."
"What a touching reunion!" Vegita laughed as he held Goku tighter.
"I just love when a family get together! They are so... interesting."
Vegita put his massive hand on Goku's head. "Now, watch Daddy die!"
Chi Chi suddenly felt another presence. Krillian was powering up an attack. She
could feel it. "Stop it now, you bastard!" Chi Chi pleaded to keep
his attention. If she knew the monk, then he would be able to get Vegita back
to normal.
"Too bad he's unconscious already. I like my victims to be conscious. They
are more fun like that." Vegita said as he started to press on Goku's
head.
"You would." Chi Chi snarled as a Distructo Disk shot to Vegita's
tail. Vegita leapt high over the disk and it slashed through the cliff's top.
Gohan toppled and regained his balance after the disk.
"How? How did he know?" Krillian stammered out. He didn't know what
happened. A shot like that would've been able to take a giant monster like that
by surprise. He aimed it just right and Gohan and Chi Chi was keeping Vegita's
attention.
Vegita turned his massive head and replied, "I knew there was a third one
around here. You sentimental worms wouldn't let your companion come
alone."
"N-n-no!" Chi Chi screamed as Vegita laughed.
"Now, after I kill Kakarot, you two are next." Vegita said as he
tightened his grip on Goku making some horrible grinding sounds.
"Damn him! He kept his wits even as a giant monster!" Krillian yelled
out in shear frustration. **He's not at all like Goku!** He thought back to how
Goku was completely out of control in that state. That primative state of mind
was Goku's main weakness and the reason that those who are weaker could handle
him. This monster had complete control over his actions, making him far more
dangerous than Goku was.
"Stop it!!! Just stop it!!!" Gohan and Chi Chi pleaded.
"Hahahahaha-Huh?" Vegita said as he had a shocked look in his face.
"Huh?" Krillian asked as he and the other warriors looked to see
Yajarobie with his sword just sliced off Vegita's tail in one quick cut.
Chi Chi, Krillian, and Gohan were stunned at not only at the fact that
Yajarobie had the guts to do such a heroic act but that he actually succeeded
in getting Vegita's tail. "He... did it." Krillian stuttered out.
"I didn't count on... a fourth one." Vegita muttered as he looked
behind him. "MY TAIL!!!" The giant monster slowly shrank until he
turned back to normal. He dropped the now mostly crushed Goku on the ground.
"You... you bastards!!!" Vegita screamed as he looked around wildly.
He lost his tail. While he wasn't too fond of transforming on a regular basis,
losing a tail to a weakling was an insult to his pride as a warrior.
Chi Chi stared at the samurai who hid behind the rocks again. **Should've known
it wouldn't last.** Chi Chi thought skeptically. "Goku?" She called
out as she looked around. She hoped that he would be okay, at least alive.
**Can't... move.** Goku thought out weakly but clearly. He was on the edge of
unconsciousness when Vegita finally let him go. He never thought he would be in
so much pain and still be concious. It was worst than the times he was beaten
up by Diamo Piccolo and his son Piccolo.
"You will pay for making me angry." Vegita said as he looked up with
his remaining eye. **This is ridiculous. How can a group of weaklings give me
this much trouble? I never dealt with weaklings this frusterating before
this!**
"Wha- what happened? How did he... the monster?" Gohan whimpered as
he shook with shock.
"Don't worry, sweetheart." Chi Chi softly said, "Mommy will
explain it all to you later." **If we survive.** Chi Chi thought.
"There won't be a later for you wimps." Vegita warned as he jumped on
the ledge and faced the young boy.
"Leave my son alone!" Chi Chi warned as she ran right in front of
Gohan. Her motherly instinct overrode her reason. She wanted to protect Gohan
at all costs.
"Ha!" Vegita laughed, "Let's see what happens when I use Ki on you."
He lifted his glowing fist and blasted Chi Chi's form.
Pain racked her body as she floated in mid air in pain. "AAAhhh!!!"
Chi Chi gritted her teeth as she held her stomach. It wasn't like being hit by
a regular Ki blast. Her body echoed and rippled like water. Finally, she
stopped screaming and held her sides.
"Mommy!" Gohan gulped as he stepped back. His mother was in pain, he
could feel it but what can he do?
"Tell you what, you can be first to die. I feel like being generous."
Vegita looked behind him and kicked Krillian as he flew at him. The monk was
flung back and bounced on the cliffs and landed face first.
"Looks like he was eager to die first." Vegita said as he glared at
Gohan. He punched Gohan in the stomach and the boy hunched down in pain.
"What's wrong boy? You're half Saiyan aren't you? My wench told me
herself." The ruthless Saiyan picked up the boy and held him by the
collar. Vegita smiled evilly at the boy and then butted his head on Gohan.
"At least your blood is red." He commented, "I'll be nice to
you. You can die next to your Daddy." With that, Vegita tossed Gohan on
the ground just next to Goku.
"Gohan..." Goku gasped as he opened an eye to his son.
Gohan just shuddered as Chi Chi stumbled to the two. "Goku...
Gohan..." Chi Chi whispered as she lies on her side and floated in midair.
"Gohan... I can't move. My... entire body... is useless now. You have
to... fight for me. Vegita's much weaker too..." Goku gasped out as he
focused to remain conscious.
"Stubborn fool... who'd have thought he was still conscious?" Vegita
asked as he stood on the cliff watching the exchange. He knew that the battle
was his. Everything, was going to plan for once.
"I... he's too strong for me... it hurts..." Gohan moaned.
"All right!" Vegita yelled amused at Goku's pleas for help from his
cowardly son, "You win! Kakarot dies first, then the brat, then the bald
one, then the ghost of the wench *heh* should be fun killing her, AND FINALLY
THAT COWARD WHO CHOPPED OFF MY TAIL!!!" Vegita screamed as Yajarobie
cowered behind the rocks.
"I was hoping he would forget!" The swordsman gulped as he shook in
fear.
"I... know you can do it... you don't have to defeat him... just hold him
off..." Goku smiled weakly at his son. "I know you can do that... then...
your mother will finish him off." He finished as he looked at Chi Chi.
"ME?!" Chi Chi squeaked.
"I... can't... he's too strong for me... I'm scared... he's stronger than
Mommy." Gohan moaned as he kept his eyes closed.
Goku was getting frustrated. He would love to just take Gohan to a safe place
and fight Vegita himself but he couldn't. He could barely move his head. No,
Gohan's part Saiyan, he had to hold Vegita off for him if his plan will work.
"What are you, a coward?!" Goku spat out as blood dripped from his
lips, "Are you going to let all those people die for nothing?! Let your
mother suffer like this?!" Gohan's eyes opened at the shock. Goku smiled
and his voice softened. "I... know you can do it... Gohan." He said
as he weakly moved his left arm, the only part of his body that wasn't broken
besides his head, to Gohan. Gohan smiled as he reached up to his father. He
just wanted his father back.
Chi Chi watched in awe as the two of the most important people in her life, her
son, and her beloved husband reach for each other in mutual support. It
would've been a beautiful scene but then Vegita flew up and kneed the heavily
injured Goku in the ribs. "No!!! Goku!" Chi Chi screamed in horror as
Vegita stood up to watch his victim spit out blood.
"I got impatient and I love making women scream in horror." Vegita
said as he kicked Goku in the head.
"G-go..." Goku tried to say but pain and more blood kept him from
saying it.
"...stop..." Gohan whispered as he watched his father get kicked on
the head again.
Vegita laughed as he kicked his victim in the chest and head. "I could
just kill you right now in just one shot but where's the fun in that? I love
mixing pleasure with work!" The cold-hearted Saiyan kept on kicking.
"Stop! Vegita!" Chi Chi screamed as she knelt down. **What can I do?!
I'm a ghost! I can't fight like this!** She thought.
"Stop it!!! I SAID STOP IT!!!" Gohan screamed as he got up. Rage
filled his heart and every part of his tired body. Power that had been denied
from him returned despite the wounds and fear. His parents were suffering and
he had to save them. His body glowed with power as he glared at Vegita.
"I'LL... I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
Chi Chi smiled at Gohan as Vegita stunned at Gohan's recovery and Saiyan rage
repeated, "You... will kill me?"
Gohan blasted at Vegita and the man dodged the attack. The boy, only five years
old, fought with his heart and rage guiding him.
"Ch- Chi, come closer..." Goku gasped out in more pain than he had
ever felt in his life.
The monk, still recovering from that kick from the Saiyan, struggled to get up
and held his injured shoulder. "I... got to..." He muttered as he
stumbled to Goku. He knew Goku well enough to know that he had some plan going
on, a plan that might work and save the world from Vegita.
"Why... didn't you tell Gohan to run?" Chi Chi asked as she knelt
down beside Goku, "And what make you think I could kill Vegita? I couldn't
even touch him."
"Just... hurry..." Goku pleaded as he moved his head to see his wife
better, "while... I'm alive, I can... give you my spirit bomb."
"A what?" Chi Chi asked. She never heard of a spirit bomb before and
it's not like Goku to use a weapon unless it's a form of Ki attack she had
never heard of before.
Vegita and Gohan's blows echoed through the sky as the three warriors talked.
"W-hat are you going to give me?" Chi Chi was confused. How can Goku
give her anything? She can't even touch him.
"Spirit bomb, I gathered a whole bunch of Ki and made one." Goku
explained.
"Yes! I remember! It was that Ki ball you made to blast the monster
with!" Chi Chi remembered.
"Most of it, got... away but I still have enough. Hold my hand." Goku
said.
"I- I don't understand..."
"Hurry! Or Gohan will die!" Goku pleaded as he struggled to lift his
broken arm.
Chi Chi put her hand through Goku's and focused. At first, it was nothing but
emptiness but a familiar hand enveloped hers. Goku's spiritual hand was strong
while the body was weak. She smiled as she held on tighter. It was the first
time in what feels like an eternity that she was touching him. His hand felt so
warm against hers. Goku whispered, "Hold on, Chi Chi." He closed his
eyes and let his power flow to her.
It was pure white and glowed with it's own power. It wasn't like any other Ki
she had ever seen before up close. Chi Chi got up and her fist glowed.
"Put your palm up and focus it into a ball." Goku instructed as Chi
Chi focused. It was hard. The power of the ball was massive, even though it was
much weaker than before. "Do it... Gohan... doesn't have much time!"
Chi Chi could feel Gohan's power getting weaker. She gritted her teeth as the
power transformed into powerful Ki ball. It was from her form yet it was
tangible to others. The previously last hope was back and can still save the planet.
"I... is this it?" Chi Chi wondered.
"Yes! You did it!" Goku congratulated, "You... must hit him
first shot. I can't... make another one of those."
"I... understand." Chi Chi replied as she held the world's last hope
in her ghostly hand. She buckled slightly. The strain on her soul was obvious.
She wasn't sure if she could keep a good hold on it long enough for her to
throw.
"Krillian! Help, Chi Chi!" Goku ordered as Krillian came closer.
"How?" Krillian asked.
"Help me." Chi Chi pleaded, "I... can barely move with this. I
must possess you but you must be willing to accept my soul." She lifted
her other hand and Krillian accepted.
"Okay. Do it." Krillian agreed as he felt Gohan's Ki grew lower.
Chi Chi slipped into Krillian's body. She can feel his soul existing beside her
own. **You can have control. Just let me do the bomb.** Chi Chi said.
"Okay." Krillian said as he saw his uninjured arm rose holding the
Spirit Bomb. He ran off and jumped up a long cliff for maximum range.
Chi Chi and Krillian looked down to see Gohan and Vegita moving all over the
battlefield. "Oh man, hold still." Krillian urged.
"I know." Chi Chi agreed frustrated as the two blurs kept on moving.
"How can we fire accurately with those two moving around?" Chi Chi
and Krillian never felt so much pressure in their lives. This was the first
time that either of them have the fate of the world in their hands. Before, it
had always been Goku to save the day but he is badly injured, maybe even dying,
and they are the only ones who can use the bomb.
**Don't use your eyes.** A strange voice entered both of their minds.
"Huh?" The two said in surprise. The voice sounded old and yet
somewhat young. It didn't sound familiar but yet they knew him somehow.
**I am King Kai. I am the one who taught Goku the Spirit Bomb.** King Kai
introduced, **You must use Vegita's evil as a target, not his body, and throw
when you know the moment is right.**
"Aim at his evil soul and not his body?" Chi Chi repeated as she
closed her eyes and reached out. The two waited for the moment.
An eternity passed for the two as they waited for the right moment. Chi Chi
felt moreThe Spirit Bomb, their only hope, burned brightly in their hands.
Finally, they felt the evil of Vegita and opened their eyes. The evil was a
black hole almost sticking out in their minds. "That's it!" The two
exclaimed excitedly.
That was when Yajarobie decided to come out of his hiding spot and yell,
"JUST THROW THE DAMN THING ALREADY!!!"
"You idiot!!!" Chi Chi screamed as she tossed the ball, prayed to
whatever god exists to make it right.
Vegita, aware of the attack, looked behind him and dodged the ball. Gohan shook
with fear as the Spirit Bomb traveled towards him. "NOOO!!!" Chi Chi
yelled as her only child was going to be killed by a blast she had thrown.
"GOHAN!!!" Krillian screamed.
**Gohan! You have a pure heart! You can bounce it back!!!** Goku yelled
telepathically.
Gohan nodded and held his hands out. The ball bounced off of his hands and flew
back at a now surprised Vegita.
Chi Chi exited Krillian's body and said, "A little gift from the planet
Earth. Enjoy it, Vegita."
The Spirit Bomb struck the man and blasted the man far into the sky once more.
He screamed in pain and anger as he vanished.
For a second, the warriors gasped and gazed at the sky. There was nothing, no
sense of evil, no clouds, not even a scream of agony. Finally, Krillian
cheered, "YAHOO!!! WE DID IT!" Krillian jumped off of the cliff and
ran to his friend, "GOKU! WE DID IT!"
Chi Chi smiled as she flew back to her husband. It was over. Vegita is killed
and her family was finally safe. She was still outside of her body but that
didn't matter. Right now, all she cared about was her family. "Gohan!
Goku!"
Goku smiled relieved at the victory as he lie on the ground broken.
"Gohan... Chi Chi..." He whispered.
Gohan laughed as he leaned against the cliff's side. He was alive and his
parents were alive too. He limped towards his father and mother. "Mommy...
Daddy..." He whispered as a tear came out of his eye.
The warriors gathered around Goku relieved because of their hard won victory.
"We finally beat him..." Gohan admitted as he smiled to his father.
"You had any doubt?" Krillian asked as he sat there.
"I'm just glad this is all over and we can get you to a hospital."
Chi Chi said as she focused on her form to be visible.
"You two do look pretty awful." Goku admitted as he looked at the two
small warriors, "And you don't have your body with you." He said to
his wife.
"But Goku, you look much worst." Krillian pointed out and then the
four laughed lightly at the small joke. It was safe enough to laugh at their
situation.
A faint sound is overheard and Goku looked up confused. "Huh?"
The others looked up to see Vegita plummeting through the sky and crashed into
the ground only a few yards away from the group. Gohan shook in disbelief.
"The... the Saiyan!" He screamed.
"It's okay, he's dead." Krillian said as he looked at him. He had
used a good amount of his power in helping Chi Chi throwing the ball and he
couldn't sense anything from Vegita. **No one could survive an attack like
that.** He reasoned to himself as he walked up to the Saiyan. "He was a
very nasty foe. But, he was brave. That's the only good thing about him. I
guess, I should dig a grave."
Vegita opened his eye and added, "For your own dead bodies!"
Krillian stepped back as the others watched Vegita got up from the ground
exhausted. He was bloody all over with more cracks in his armor. The cloth part
of his uniform was ripped in many places. "You've given me quite a
beating. I almost thought you had me on that last one." He said as he
clenched his fists. "You have taken a lot out of me but I can still kill
you." With one arm, he swatted at Krillian and flung him to the ground.
Krillian coughed up blood from his lungs as the Saiyan continued, "After
I'm done killing all of you, I'll take time to heal and then I'll destroy
Earth!" He continued walking up to the immobile Goku. "What hurts the
most is my pride for struggling with pathetic weaklings like you!"
"If we are so weak, why were you struggling?" Chi Chi quipped as she
ran in between the Saiyan and her family.
"Shut up, wench." Vegita said as he focused all of his power and
exploded outward like a volcano's eruption. "HIIIAAAAYYY!!!" In a
giant explosion, all of the warriors were flung back in separate directions.
Vegita gasped as he looked around from the crater he made himself. Much to his
disgust, the warriors moaned as they tried to move, even the greatly injured
Goku and the ghostly woman. "What's wrong with me?" Vegita muttered
as he stared at all of them. "They should all be dead!"
Dizziness hit him as he closed his eyes for a brief second. He opened them
again as he floated up and landed next to Gohan. "I'm injured worse than I
thought. Kill them now, rest later." He muttered as he looked at Gohan and
his newly formed tail. "His tail! His tail grew back!"
Krillian opened his eyes in pain. "Yeah, Goku's used to regenerate too at
the oddest moments." He muttered.
Vegita then looked up at his own man-made moon. The boy may be weak and
vulnerable right now but if he transforms, he will regain his power and be far
stronger than the prince. "Damn it! The moon will stay up there for
another hour! If he transform, I'm dead!"
Chi Chi floated there as she opened her eyes. "Gohan." She muttered.
"Gohan!" Gohan was still unconscious and she knew that Krillian would
be no help in his condition. She frantically looked around and saw a dazed
Yajarobie with his katana lying by his side. "I need this." Chi Chi
said as she focus on the sword. "If I can just... hold on to it." She
muttered as she focused harder. She had to move the sword. The sword lifted by
her power. "Please, let me use it." Her hand became more solid as she
shook.
"I won't let him change!" Vegita said as he picked up Gohan by the
collar and was ready to kill him.
"No!!!" Chi Chi screamed as she flew with the sword in her hand.
"HA!!!"
Vegita looked behind him and Chi Chi sliced through his armor and into his back.
"You... you stabbed me in the back." Vegita felt at his back and fell
over. "That's a coward's act!"
"I am only protecting my baby." Chi Chi growled as Vegita got up. He
swung at the woman only to encounter air. "Physical attacks don't work on
me, Vegita." Chi Chi smiled at the man. She knew how exhausted Vegita was.
He may not be able to fire another Ki attack and that was her weakness.
"You fucking wench!" Vegita screamed as he kept on trying frustrated
at the fact that she was smiling after wounding him with such an attack. He
growled and then smiled. "Wait a second, you can't touch me." He said
as he took the sword and flung it away. "I like it when someone is
helpless to stop me. It gives me such a nice warm feeling inside."
"You bastard." Chi Chi growled. **I have to keep him busy. If Gohan
wakes up and look at that ball in the sky, he'll transform and kill Vegita.**
She knew that Vegita was a prideful man and that he was overconfident in
himself. While she may not be able to attack him physically, she could still
wound his pride. He didn't know Gohan like she does. "Ha! You make me
laugh. I bet that you can't beat this Freeza guy!"
"Oh yes, I can! I just need to be immortal by that wish!" Vegita
yelled back.
"What about Nappa and the other Saiyans? Why didn't you just want to wish
back the other Saiyans to life?" Chi Chi pondered as she crossed her arms.
"I don't care about any other Saiyans!" Vegita laughed, "All I
care about is me becoming ruler of the universe!"
Chi Chi's face softened with confusion. "Do you mean, that you don't care
about the fact that you and Goku are the last Saiyans in the universe?"
Chi Chi asked as she came up. Vegita was truly evil. He didn't even care about
his own kind. All he cared about was himself and that everything goes his way.
"Of course not!"
"Not even your parents?"
"Bah! I didn't know my mother, and my father, I couldn't care less."
Vegita brusqely confirmed.
"Then..." Chi Chi gazed into Vegita's eyes. She had to keep his
attention longer until Gohan wakes up. She knew what to say that will make him
keep his eyes on her and away from Gohan. "I pity you."
"... Pity? Me? Why would you pity me? I'm going to kill all of you and you
are a mere ghost. You have no body!" Vegita laughed as he pointed to her.
"True, you are still much stronger than us and I do have no body. But, I
have my family and friends. Do you know why you struggled with us despite your
obvious strength? Because, we are fighting for the ones we love. Goku held on
as long as possible because he loved this planet and would do anything for it.
I became a warrior again because the ones I love are in danger. Gohan, my son,
was willing to fight despite the fact he was scared because he love this planet
and his parents, and Piccolo. Even Krillian held on and fought with every
chance he got because he loved this world. That's our strength, that's
humanity's strength, love." Chi Chi said as she smiled confidently. She
didn't know how she could think up such a profound speech but it was right for
the occassion.
Vegita blinked and then laughed. "*HAHAHAHA* Love! That's a good one!
Saiyans never use love as strength! That's a weakness!" He turned around
and walked away. "Love! Ha! That's a good one!" Then, a loud rumbling
filled the air as Vegita looked around and remembered about Gohan. "The
kid!!!" He ran up to see a transforming Gohan lying on the ground. **Damn
it! That wench must've did that long speech on purpose!**
Chi Chi smiled slyly as she sensed Gohan's power rising rapidly. "Please,
Gohan, it's up to you." She prayed. She never expected herself to hope her
son would embrace his primal side.
Gohan grew larger as his body sprouted hair everywhere on his body. His clothes
ripped apart as he grew larger. Vegita gasped as he watched the boy transform
into the very monster he once was. He knew the transformation too well and in
his weak state, he might die. "No! I can't let him change!" Vegita
punched futilely at the boy as he grew larger. "The tail!" He
realized as he went to Gohan's large tail and tried to rip it off but he was
too weak.
Gohan now fully transformed roared in anger as he slammed his fist on the
Saiyan. Vegita was plummeted to the ground as the others watched. Chi Chi went
to Krillian who was lying there watching. "I wonder if Gohan will lose
control like Goku did when he transformed." Krillian wondered.
"Lose control?" Chi Chi repeated as Gohan started bashing everything
in sight.
"Oh no! He's the same!" Krillian cried out as he covered his head
from the falling rocks.
"But... Gohan's part human!" Chi Chi screamed. She was scared. Was it
a mistake to hope for Gohan to transform? She had no idea that Gohan would lose
control.
Gohan held up a huge rock and went to his comrades. Yajarobie woke up and
screamed in horror. Krillian and Chi Chi stared at the giant ape. Gohan, the
nice little boy they loved, is a monster. The same type of monster who nearly
killed Goku.
**GOHAN! STOP!** Goku's telepathic voice reached out to the warriors and his
transformed son.
Gohan stopped and just stared out. A distant part of him remembered that voice
in his head. He had to listen.
"Gohan! Get the Saiyan! He's the enemy!" Krillian yelled.
"Gohan! It's your mother! Listen to your humanity. You're not evil.
Please, listen to your father and me. Attack Vegita. He's the real monster
here." Chi Chi plead as she hovered in front of Gohan.
Gohan blinked and then glared at Vegita. He crushed the rock in his massive
hands and bounded after Vegita. He remembered the reason for the change. All
that was on his mind is the Saiyan's death. The Saiyan dodged and darted the
monster's grasp. Gohan with his massive power and rage pounded on Vegita until
the Saiyan flew up into the air and Gohan followed.
"Take this!" Vegita screamed as he flung a Ki blast similar to a
Distructo Disk at Gohan and chopped off his tail. Then, Vegita sighed in relief
but then the transforming but still huge Gohan had somehow managed to fall on
top of the Saiyan. Vegita, weak from battle, couldn't move in time from Gohan's
mass. Finally, the two fell to the ground in an earth shattering crash.
Krillian and Chi Chi looked and saw Gohan, asleep but unharmed, lying partially
on top of a very battered Vegita. "He had to die that time." Chi Chi
said to Krillian, "No one can survive a blow like that." She hoped
that Gohan's unexpected blow had done it. Vegita's dangerous and should not be
allowed to leave.
Much to Krillian and Chi Chi's shock, Vegita coughed several times and slowly
reached into his uniform. He pulled out a small remote device and pressed
several buttons. The warrior collapsed exhausted letting the remote fall out of
his hand and on to the ground.
"What is he made out of?" Krillian wondered at Vegita's durability.
"Damn you." Vegita cursed, "Never... before... must I
retreat..." He was very badly hurt. His bones were broken and his muscles
were torn. Now, his only hope was to get off Earth in stasis mode and go to
Freeza's base to heal at one of the healing chambers. A large sphere came down
from the sky and landed next to the Saiyan. He never had to escape from a group
of weak fighters on an unknown planet. Why did he have such trouble? He really
hate this planet.
Krillian painfully got up and made his way to Saiyan and the spaceship.
"Oh shit, if Vegita get away, he'll be back and destroy everything. I
can't... let that happen." He fell from the cliff and got back up. As he
made his way, he passed Yajarobie's sword. The same sword that had transformed
Vegita back into a human like alien and slashed through Vegita's armor. It had
been a very useful weapon in this battle. The monk picked up the blade and kept
on walking. "This thing worked for Yajarobie and Chi Chi, it might work
for me."
"Do it, Krillian." Chi Chi urged as she floated behind. She was
exhausted from the battle. Her form flickered back and forth as she struggled
to remain seen and heard. In her state, all she could do is talk to Krillian.
All she wants is to have this Saiyan pay for his crimes.
Krillian went up to Vegita who was struggling to get in his spaceship. Goku
watched intently. He knew his friend well enough to know what Krillian was
going to do. Right now, he was torn from what he wants and what he needs.
"Now, you will die." Krillian said as he held the blade at Vegita's
throat.
"I... can't move." Vegita moaned. He was too beaten up to defend
himself against the bald man. If he doesn't escape, he will die on a pathetic
planet and not achieve his destiny as ruler of the universe.
**Krillian! Stop!** Goku reached out.
"That... voice... Goku?" Krillian asked stunned. What did he want?
Krillian was about to rid the world, no the universe, of a horrible evil. Why
would Goku want Vegita to live?
**Yes, I'm too weak to use my voice. Krillian, please, don't kill Vegita.**
"What?! Have you lost your mind? Vegita killed our friends. He tried to
kill us! He forced your wife into a coma and left her as a ghost!"
Krillian screamed in rage. "Why? Vegita won't change like Piccolo."
**I know. It's just that...** Goku's mental voice grew hesitant, **I thought I
was at my peak. But, Vegita is much stronger. I admire him for that. Besides,
it would be a waste for Vegita to die like this.**
"You... want to kill Vegita yourself." Chi Chi realized.
**Yes.** Goku replied.
Krillian gritted his teeth as he glared at Vegita who was almost in the
spacecraft. The fate of the world, no the universe, rested in his hands. Should
he do what is right and kill Vegita? Or trust Goku and let him go? Goku had
always the better instincts. He makes friends out of enemies on a regular
basis. But his friends, Yamcha, Tien, Choutsu, and even Piccolo are dead thanks
to Vegita. He couldn't bear the thought of Vegita attacking Earth again but he
couldn't disobey Goku. Frustrated, he tossed the sword down and Vegita finally
made it to the craft.
"You will regret that decision." Vegita said as he sat in the craft,
"I will be back and I will kill you all."
The door closed and the craft flew off in the distance. Krillian and Chi Chi
sighed in relief. Vegita was finally gone but at what cost? The monk looked at
the ground and saw the remote lying there. He picked up the remote and tucked
it in his shirt. It might come in handy somehow.
"Guys, I'm sorry for making you spare Vegita." Goku apologized as he
tilted his head to them.
"That's okay, Goku." Krillian said as he went to Gohan who was still
sleeping peacefully.
Chi Chi just sat there in mid air. She couldn't believe that Goku wanted Vegita
alive simply because he wanted to kill him. Maybe, Goku wanted to preserve
what's left of his race just a little longer.
"Chi Chi?" Goku asked as looked at her.
Chi Chi gazed at Goku coldly. "You better kill Vegita yourself, next time.
If any more people die, it will be your fault." Chi Chi then looked at
Krillian. "Can you bring Gohan to Goku?" Chi Chi asked. "The
problem with Vegita being alive can wait for now. Right now, Gohan's
hurt."
"I'm sorry. I will. I promise." Goku vowed. **I have to get stronger
than him. I can't let them down again. I already made Chi Chi and Krillian mad
at me. I'm sure I'll be stronger next time.**
"No problem, Chi Chi." Krillian grunted and lifted the small naked
boy up.
"Is he okay?" Goku asked worried about the health of his son.
"He's fine." Krillian replied, "He's just exhausted from the
transformation. Just a little rest and he'll be as good as new."
"Good." Goku and Chi Chi sighed in relief again.
"But... how can we get back?" Krillian asked. He was far to exhausted
to fly back alone and they didn't have any capsules on them to provide proper transport.
"Maybe, someone will come and help us." Chi Chi replied.
A faint whoosh was heard overhead. The warriors looked up as Krillian moaned,
"Not again." He was tired. The last thing he wanted was another fight
with Vegita.
"Hey! Guys!" Master Roshi greeted out of the window waving his cane.
"Master Roshi!" Krillian exclaimed in pure joy. Chi Chi and Goku
looked up at the upcoming air car and smiled in relief. Chi Chi put her hand on
Goku's chest in comfort. It was finally over. The battle was won and the earth
is saved. But at what cost? The warriors were dead, Chi Chi was still out of
her body, and the Dragon Balls were gone forever.
Still, there is hope for all.
Not the End
