Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Tide: Shadow Saiyan ❯ The Saiyan War ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter Four: The Saiyan War -The Battle Field- Shadow looked around his surroundings, his psychic abilities that he had developed while he was in space.  The Namek’s had helped him develop a deeper understanding of his mental abilities.  They even taught him some techniques that allowed him to delve into others minds.  Traveling from planet to planet had also awakened other senses or rather enhanced them and fine tuned them to be better than an average Elite Saiyan.  His perception was far greater than any living Saiyan or Saiyan hybrid; he could feel the ancient traces of ki that had been left behind by those who had fought on the very area they stood centuries ago. “He’s late,” grumbled Vegeta. “No we’re early,” said Shadow calmly. Vegeta merely growled at him and gave him his death glare.  Mumbling to himself he waited for Kakarot and his team to arrive.  He thought back to about twelve hours ago, where he had learned startling information about Shadow as his team. -Flashback- “Brat what did you mean you were of the Moon Clan, Bardock Moon of the Moon Clan, father of Kakarot was of that clan and disgraced it by being weak,” said Vegeta. “In your eyes perhaps, but ultimately before the home world’s destruction he was granted the ability to see into the future.  His crew killed by Frieza’s henchmen and he himself saw the home world’s destruction before it happened.  He tried to rally others behind him to fight Frieza, but they all laughed at him as they drank their Saiyan ale.  He had visions of Kakarot fighting Frieza and defeating Frieza.  But because he was laughed at for loosing his whole crew and other things he went to visit Frieza himself.  He attacked Frieza but died by Frieza’s planet destroyer attack and the planet’s explosion.  He died a Saiyan death, going out fighting against impossible odds and impossible victory,” said Shadow as Vegeta nodded understanding that Bardock was indeed a true Saiyan Warrior and a rare kind at that. “I understand that he died an honorable death, but what does this have to do with you being apart of the Moon Clan?” demanded Vegeta. “Simple, Bardock is a relative of mine.  I won’t tell you how I’m related to him, unless you can figure it out yourself,” said Shadow. “Bardock had no siblings, his parents had given him the Scar of Exilement as well, though he was merely ten years old.  Meaning he was given permission from my grandfather, then the King of Vegeta-sei, to join those who were of his blood line in the Moon Clan.  They were elite warriors throughout Saiyan history, but Bardock seemed to have inherited his mothers genes too much as he was branded a third class Saiyan.  Yet he would take on those stronger than him and loose gaining strength and power, but he was most famous for his genius.  He created the artificial moonlight technique that all Saiyan’s that were second class and up were taught, with the exception to Bardock’s crew.  He had three sons, which weakened his mate into recovery.  It was said that when she was fund dead that Bardock’s parents had killed her for being strong and extremely healthy.  But it was never proven, the eldest was Raditz whom I knew personally, then there were the twins who were separated at birth by their mother.  Turles and Kakarot, it was said in a journal that she had hidden from all; that she feared Kakarot would become too powerful and go insane.  However that was proven wrong, Kakarot has two personalities, Goku Son and Kakarot Son ironically the surname was the surname of his grandparents,” said Vegeta. “Yes go on Vegeta,” said Shadow. “I have it now, Turles was embodiment of a true Saiyan, since he was given a second class rank at birth.  His power grew to standards that my father became worried that he would try to overthrow him, however Turles swore a blood oath in Ancient Saiyago that he would never attempt a claim to the throne.  Turles had shown that he was smarter and more intelligent than the average Saiyan and more loyal as well.  Ironic that I learned all this through my time in Other World when I first was sent there.  You aren’t the son Turles, he has no mate.  That leaves only Kakarot, since Raditz had no mate either.  You are the first born brat of Kakarot!” exclaimed Vegeta as realization struck him. “I see you finally figured it out.  I was wondering how long it would take.  Indeed I am the first born son of Kakarot by blood, but I am no son of his.  I discarded my human name long ago as both my human side and Saiyan side are in unison and agreement that Kakarot must pay.  Mirai has been suspicious of who I was and why I would hate Kakarot so much, yet being civil with him and your family.  In my time off of Earth I wandered the universe, participating in wars to get stronger, but never genocides.  After a while I grew tired of such foolishness and became a Mercenary for hire.  I received many jobs, one I was body guard to a king.  Another I was an assassin for the same king.  When there was no work to be found in that job, I was a Bounty Hunter.  I hunted down the vermin of the universe and brought them in for the money and to hone my tracking skills.  However there are many lines that I crossed, but some I wouldn’t even cross at the time.  Nor would I cross them today, they are the lines that separates me from Kakonorot and Kakarot’s kind,” said Shadow as Vegeta’s eyes widened a the mention of the only Saiyan/Tuffle hybrid known in existence. “You met with Kakonorot?!  He is the worst thing Saiyan to ever live!” said Vegeta. “I met and fought him.  He was and probably still is stronger than me by far.  He is hundreds of years old and is more sane than Broly and more powerful as well,” said Shadow as Vegeta merely stared at him like he was joking around, but the look in Shadow’s eyes and the expression on his face told him he was not joking in the least bit. Time seemed to slow as the information Vegeta had just learned was hard to believe.  Not only had Shadow proven himself to be a Super Elite, he had proven himself to be stronger than him, King Vegeta of the Saiyan’s.  This was something Vegeta was not expecting and it scared him to think that the only Saiyan Hybrid in history to turn against its own races was still alive. “Tell no one of this information Vegeta or you will regret it for a very long time.  Bulma already knows from your bond with her and Mirai knows because of his, though pitiful and weak, psychic abilities that he has developed naturally.  However Trunks must not know until I say it is alright.  I don’t care if you are the Saiyan King, Turles has sworn a blood oath to me as well.  I can easily crush you and your sons without powering up to a quarter of true strength.  Now get out of here now, you disturbed me when I left instructions not to be disturbed!” said Shadow. “I don’t take orders from you brat!” said Vegeta viciously. “Don’t anger me Vegeta, you have not seen anything compared to what I can do to you.  I have learned techniques that will cause your pain to seem like an eternity.  My team and I are going to fight Kakarot and his team, with or without your help.  I have yet to see you admit to being on my side or a part of my team.  Mirai I know is on my side, but is loyal to you because you are his superior and you are his father.  However because of this he and Videl are the only ones that have been given a special gift that my original team members received as well.  Now get out or I will make you get out!” snarled Shadow as Vegeta just grunted and left. ‘Stupid boy!  Who does he think he is standing up against me, the King of all Saiyan’s!  I’ll show him who is in charge and that is me!’ thought Vegeta bitterly. ::Vegeta what’s wrong now?:: asked Bulma through their bond. ::Nothing that concerns you right now,:: said Vegeta. ::Is it about Shadow and the information you were able to pry from him?:: asked Bulma as Vegeta felt the link be intruded on. “Now, now, what have I here?  Could it be Bulma and Vegeta talking about me behind my back?  Or is it that you are plotting against me behind my back?” asked Shadow as he intruded on their bond link causing Vegeta and Bulma to stop speaking and leaving Shadow to revel in having scared them by intruding on their private conversation. -End Flashback- Vegeta looked at Shadow with a look of pure annoyance and anger as he waited for Kakarot and his team to arrive and the battle to begin.  He had often wondered what happened to Gohan, now he knew, he had grown up to become a strong and powerful warrior, along with a cryptic and mysterious warrior at the same time.  He knew the boy had wisdom beyond his years, wisdom that came with not study and training, but with experience and patience. “He’s here,” stated Shadow as Kakarot and his team arrived.  “Kakarot, Goten, Broly, Piccolo, Eighteen, the Harpy, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, and Chaotzu, your early, I thought you would have come at the deadline time.” “Whatever, we’re just here to banish you evil scum from this planet.  If you aren’t with us then we can’t be sure of your motives, thus you are also our enemy.  Now you have a choice leave now peacefully or suffer the consequences,” said Kakarot putting on a show for the others in his group. “Don’t insult my intelligence Kakarot, I am no fool.  Stop this show you put on for the others and show your true colors and self.  I need not listen to you, who died and made you the one responsible for deciding who gets to come to this planet or not.  If they have great power can they not use it to help others in small ways, instead of just protecting the planet?” asked Shadow irritably as Kakarot glared at him. “They can, but for all we know they can be putting on a show and then suddenly turn on us.  Just like Vegeta apparently has done,” said Kakarot. “WHAT?!  YOU ATTACKED MY FAMILY AND ME UNPROVOKED!  WHY?  ALLBECAUSE I CHOSE TO TEACH MY SON ABOUT HIS HERITAGE AND RAISE HIM THAT WAY!  THAT IS MY DECISION TO MAKE NOT YOURS!” roared Vegeta angrily. “True, but do you deny that you were plotting against me behind my back?” asked Kakarot. “I deny nothing, I plotted against you because of what you did eight years ago!  I plotted against you even before we became allies and I had children!  I have done many things in my lifetime that I am not proud of, but I never attacked my own children out of hate and contempt, unlike you!” snarled Vegeta, as everyone in Kakarot’s group could swear they felt Vegeta’s radiating off him. “Whatever Vegeta, you haven’t liked me since we first met.  You have always held contempt against me for beating you and achieving Super Saiyan and avenging our race before you ever could,” said Kakarot smugly. “True I had felt resentment towards you, but it wasn’t you avenged our race, but my son!  He defeated Frieza and King Kold single handedly, not you!” said Vegeta as Kakarot shrugged his shoulders at Vegeta. “As much as I would like to hear you two argue you all day, it is becoming very annoying, very fast!  Now are we going to continue in this verbal battle or are we going to have a physical battle?” snapped Shadow angrily at Vegeta and Kakarot. The two turned their attention to him and backed off not wanting to be yelled at like they were children.  Grumbling they each went back to their own lines, but still glared menacingly at each other almost nonstop. “Alright who’s up first?  Is it you short stuff?  Or perhaps you mime boy?  Maybe you tri-clops?” asked Shadow as he looked up and down their line. - “They won’t fight you stranger, they’ll fight Mirai’s girlfriend and your girlfriend,” said Kakarot. “Hey, Goku, when did we agree to that?” asked Krillin. “Since Vegeta backed off against a threat from the stranger.  That means the stranger is stronger or has techniques that allow him to become stronger than him,” said Goku as Krillin nodded. “So we fight the weaklings and you take the really strong ones?” asked Krillin. “Exactly,” said Kakarot as he watched Shadow’s movements. - “Lime show them you are not weak,” said Shadow as he put a hand on her shoulder. “No, I want the bimbo blonde,” said Lime defiantly. “Then go get her,” replied Shadow smirking. Lime nodded and disappeared from sight and reappeared behind Eighteen smashing her fists into the back of her head.  Afterwards she grabbed her by the hair and threw her into the air and launched a ki blast right up her skirt immediately upon contact any samples she had stored in her body were made sterile. “You bitch!” yelled Eighteen as she shot her own ki blast at Lime only to have swatted back at her. Eighteen swatted her own blast towards Shadow and the others only to have it crash against an energy field around them.  She growled as Shadow smirked at her and pointed behind by twirling his finger in a circle,  When Eighteen turned she got a punch straight to the nose and a lot of her hair ripped out in one big yank.  Eighteen cried out in pain and fury as she saw Lime waving the hair she had ripped out of her own head at her tauntingly. “You’ll pay for this bitch!” screamed Eighteen. As she charged Lime she never noticed her eldest daughter appear behind her.  She was Eighteen’s daughter, but she was not Krillin’s daughter.  She refused to have the Chesnut name and was constantly in trouble for fighting in school.  She was born thirteen years earlier to the current fight, because her mother had stolen the Time Machine and traveled back in time to the time that her mother had still been completely human.  Even then she had been a manipulative woman and a dangerous one at that, being the cousin of the infamous Launch.  That was when she had volunteered to become a new type of Android, though today she thought it was forced thanks to a side effect of the transformation that caused her to loose parts of her memory.  She was in a sense a Cyborg, but she had all the powers of an Android, yet some of the same luxuries as humans. “Shentraka!” yelled Kasumi. “Kasumi!” exclaimed Eighteen as the blast hit her and sent her flying into the ground. “What is it dear mother?  Did I hurt you?  Am I grounded again?” asked Kasumi mockingly as she flew down and picked her mother up out of the ground.  “Oh mother, I have a present for you; a one way ticket to excruciating pain and agony.” “Kasumi, you insolent, conniving, little bitch, why are you doing this?  You’re going to break your father’s heart when he has to beat you into the ground!” screamed Eighteen. “That man you married is not my father!  He is my step-father!  My father is a hybrid Saiyan, maybe just maybe that Prince Mirai’s father can help me,” said Kasumi as she lifted Eighteen’s from the ground and held it up for Lime to use as a punching bag. “You damn bitch!  You are going to pay for what you have done!” said Lime as she punched Eighteen for every word said. Soon Eighteen was beaten badly and bleeding from several cuts.  Her face was a mangled mess and her hair was dried with her blood.  Lime and Kasumi lifted what was left of her and slammed her fist into her gut causing her to cry out in pain. “Now mother, why don’t you tell your mate what you did to my father when he was thirteen.  How you pretty much raped him and then went back in time to right before you became an Android and gave his genes to your human self.  How thirteen years ago you decided to have a child and blame it on an experiment done by Gero for my being alive when he hadn’t even touched you yet.  My father is Gohan and I am ashamed to have you as my mother!  Now tell him bitch!” said Kasumi. “Fine, Krillin she’s right a few years ago I found Gohan in space and was so caught up in my own twisted hatred for him.  Because of him attacking his own mother, I did something that I am terribly ashamed of.  I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I still love you,” said Eighteen with a slight twist to the story. “It’s alright Eighteen, after what he did to Chichi he deserved what became of him.  Sadly his daughter has taken after him and she will have to die as well,” said Krillin as Eighteen smiled at him only to have a foot slammed into her spine causing her to scream in agony. “Goku please help her!  She has helped you and me out so many times!” said Krillin as Goku nodded signaling Goten to go take care of Kasumi and Lime. When Goten smirked and charged the two they found none other than Android Seventeen in front of him blocking his way, however he was changed and more powerful than before.  He had gone to the future and absorbed Seventeen, number two into him instead of the other way around.  He had become Super Seventeen and was on Shadow’s side of the war.  He had seen what would become of the Earth if Shadow were to fail.  Kakarot would proclaim himself the supreme ruler of the planet and have all who opposed him eliminated and everyone else forced to pay tribute to him.  He grabbed Goten and absorbed his energy to the point he was too weak to put up a challenge.  After he was done with Goten he threw him back to Kakarot who looked at Super Seventeen with pure hatred in his eyes. “It’s good to see you again Uncle Seventeen.  Shall we get rid of this trash right here?” asked Kasumi as Seventeen smiled and nodded to his niece. She nodded to her step-mother who nodded and the two picked her up and threw her into the sky and launched their attacks at her with Seventeen adding in his own attack to unify them into one and they collided with Eighteen’s form and exploded in a grand explosion leaving behind only half of Eighteen’s body which was her top half.  She was dead, but the shock on her face was still there until Kasumi blasted the rest of her body into oblivion. “Now that the trash is gone lets get on to the real fights!” said Lime as Kasumi and Seventeen disappeared back over to Shadow’s side of the field. - “Alright Kakarot, it’s your move now.  What are you going to do?” mocked Shadow as he surveyed his daughter and the rest of his team. “You make the first move stranger,” said Kakarot. “Fine, Lime, Kasumi, Seventeen, stand down for now, but keep your guard up.  Vegeta, you and I will also wait.  Videl, Mirai, and Trunks you will wait too.  Keino, Eclipse you two are next, make it last a while without killing him… again,” said Shadow as they nodded and disappeared behind Broly only to have him smirk and grab the two of them by the necks. “So you are after me?  You are the next Legendary Super Saiyan,” said Broly as he smirked his evil grin at the two. “No, I’m just a normal Super Saiyan,” said Keino as he struggled to breath as Broly’s grip began to tighten around his neck quickly at his disappointment. “Then it is you woman… very nice… excellent for a mate… my mate!!!” said Broly as he tossed Keino away and began to attempt to claim her as his won, but found a claim mark already on her.  “He will die for this.” Broly turned to Keino who had stood up and saw the challenge in his eyes and his body posture.  He wanted Eclipse as his mate, but he could only get her as his mate by defeating him in battle and forcing him to renounce his claim on her.  However Eclipse intervened by striking Broly first challenging him herself, which meant that if she lost, then she had to reject Keino’s claim to her and kill him on the spot as Saiyan tradition and culture dictated. “Oh so you wish to fight me instead?  Very well, you will lose and you shall be my mate,” said Broly as he advanced towards her.  “Two Legendary Super Saiyan’s the second and the third.” “Wrong, if I lose then it will be the first and the second.  I am the original Legendary Super Saiyan, I am Eclipse Lunar of the Lunar Clan, the second Saiyan clan to the royals!” said Eclipse as she attacked him viciously, which was the type of fighting that suited him, pure viciousness and pure unorthodox fighting styles, they were his favorite styles. Eclipse managed to blast his back a few times leaving severe burn marks, but he kept on fighting.  It was two Legendary’s fighting each other in an all out contest of wills and claims.  Eclipse launched a blast at him which he deflected away from him that went soaring at Kakarot’s group. Broly himself was for the first time in his life since being born feeling naturally sane as he fought Eclipse.  He knew it wasn’t just a lust he felt towards Eclipse, but something else that was rare among Saiyan’s, something that happened to only every few Saiyan’s out of thousands.  He didn’t know what it was, but he knew it was something that might cure him of the force in his mind that controlled most of his body functions and thoughts towards other Saiyan’s, especially Kakarot and Vegeta.  He was reluctant to admit it, but he wasn’t in full control of his body or thoughts, not since he was born, not since his attempted murder. “Come now Broly, surely you can do better than that?  I thought you were a Legendary Super Saiyan.  Some Legendary Super Saiyan you are turning out to be,” said Eclipse tauntingly. “You have not yet seen the full extent of my power Eclipse.  I am Broly Solar of the disgraced Solar Clan, I am disgraced because King Vegeta feared me and tried to kill me.  I am disgraced because I am a Legendary Super Saiyan.  I am disgraced because I am not in full control of my mind or body-AAAAHHHH!” screamed Broly as the presence in his mind intensified and his thoughts became erratic and he looked at Eclipse with his nearly invisible eyes.  “DIE!” Eclipse was caught off guard at what Broly had said and the sudden pain he felt.  Then when he transformed matching her power from when she first transformed into the Legendary Super Saiyan.  However she was soon on the loosing end of the battle if she didn’t transform.  Quickly she transformed and evened out the battle against the two of them. - “Obey me Broly, you have no choice.  Since the day you were born you have been under my control.  You think that you can escape that in death?  I was there with you in death, you cannot escape me, not now, not ever,” said the voice to Broly as he attempted to rid himself of the voice. “So you are the one who is controlling Broly’s actions most of the time.  But you’re not as powerful as he is.  That’s why you are controlling him like this.  Clever, but not clever enough as Eclipse is about to win,” said Shadow as he had entered Broly’s mind to discover what or who controlled his thoughts and body. - “No, damn you Shadow, you had to interfere.  This should have happened centuries ago when she first transformed and raged havoc upon our home world.  She will pay for the death, the murder of my mate, my dear Dusk,” said the Saiyan as he flew into the air and did something unexpected, something that might changed the course of the battle, especially since Shadow had forced him from Broly’s mind. “ECLIPSE BEHIND YOU!” yelled Broly as he recognized the attack the Saiyan behind her was about to unleash. However Eclipse was a little slow to react as she turned and her eyes widened at who the attacker was.  But what shocked her even more was Broly’s selfless sacrifice as he slammed her out of the way and took the attack himself, sacrificing his own life for hers. “BROLY!” yelled Eclipse as she watched the attacker’s blast hit him head on.  “KEINO YOU BASTARD!  YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TRIED TO KILL ME THOSE CENTURIES AGO!” Eclipse was furious as she powered up to her maximum and charged Keino who didn’t have a chance.  He was being beaten to a pulp by Eclipse for his transgression against her, his betrayal, and her pure hatred for him that had fully blossomed. “Mercy, Eclipse, show me mercy!” begged Keino as Eclipse stood over him furious with him. “MERCY?!  MERCY?! YOU EXPECT ME TO SHOW YOU MERCY?!  YOU WERE MY MATE, I LOVED YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY THAT LOVE AND TRUST?!  WHY?!  WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME AND ATTACK ME?!” demanded Eclipse furiously. “Why?!  You ask why?!  I’ll tell you why!  Because you killed her, you killed Dusk, my mate!  You were supposed to battle for the right to claim me as your mate since I only wanted her, but you both wanted me.  The night before you were supposed to battle her, was the same night that your best friend betrayed you and attempted to kill your family.  It was that night in which you first transformed and it was also the same night as the full moon.  All Saiyan’s were prohibited from look at the moon, but something happened that caused you to go out of control and you looked at the moon!  You became a Golden Oozaru, an uncontrollable one at that!  You killed Dusk, you killed her and you killed your own family members, maybe not all of them, but you still did,” said Keino as spat at her. “You were the one who tried to kill me Keino, my best friend was dead.  Dawn, my cousin and best friend was killed by Dusk and one other Saiyan.  Ironic that Dusk was also my cousin and at that Dawn’s best friend.  You and Dusk tired to kill me, just like you killed Dawn,” said Eclipse as Keino denied nothing and admitted that he killed her by thrashing out at her, only to have his hand caught and Broly, fatally injured grab his hand and crush it.  “BROLY!” Broly collapsed onto the ground, for the first time in his entire existence, he was free; he was sane enough to control his power.  He was sane enough to know he was in love with Eclipse, even though she was broken hearted and betrayed.  However another blast came out of nowhere and collided with the two as they shared a kiss.  They were killed from the blast and Shadow was furious beyond belief. “KAKAROT!!!  THAT WAS UNNECCESSARY, THAT WASN’T YOUR BATTLE!” roared Shadow as Kakarot only shrugged. “He was an enemy and so was the woman, they both of no use any more,” said Kakarot.  “Now the battle can continue, but since you are down two members that were of your strongest then that means my team has the upper hand now.” “Bastard!” yelled Shadow as he contemplates his situation.  “Now this is no longer a battle, this is war Kakarot, you are a filthy disgusting being that deserves no mercy or respect.” With that said Mirai disappeared from view and smashed his elbow into the back of Paragus’s head.  The two of them started fighting while trunks decided to be a bit mischievous and snuck over to Pikkon’s feet quietly and undetected and ultra glued his feet into the ground and left a energy absorbing bomb underneath him as well.  When he returned back over to his side of the field he gave Turles a thumbs up and motioned to Pikkon.  Turles smiled and turned back to watch the battle between Paragus and Mirai.  Mirai easily had the upper hand since he was a Super Saiyan, but he didn’t transform to give Paragus a false sense of security, but Paragus knew better.  He had seen Mirai transform before and knew that Mirai was stronger than he was before as well.  So he had slipped some energy drainer’s onto Mirai’s clothing and flew back away from him. “Giving up already Paragus?” asked Mirai. “Hardly, you’ve already lost and now I’m going to kill you,” said Paragus as he activated the energy drainers which began to drain Mirai’s energy from him. - Videl who was watching snapped and quickly dealt with Krillin and Yamcha by slamming their heads together, rendering them unconscious.  Afterward she flew with a ahead on collision straight into Paragus’s stomach, causing him to gasp for air as it left him from the blow he had just received courtesy of Videl’s head.  The next shot was one in which no male ever wanted to feel or think about, it was a shot that was king of all cheap shots and the most feared by the male gender, a powerful, quick, and repeated kick to the groin.  Videl was kicking and kneeing him there so many times, that he would be sterile by the time she finished with him.  She then began to slam his face into her knee and still kept on kicking him in the groin. (Remind me never to get on her bad side. -shudders-) Videl finally had enough of him and grabbed the remote that controlled the energy drainers and reversed the flow of them.  Once she saw that Mirai was back to normal she threw Paragus into the air and they both blasted him back to Other World.  When they landed Kakarot didn’t show any emotion to his team mates loosing. ­- “You had to have your mate help you win Mirai?  Pathetic,” said Kakarot. “Shut up Kakarot, at least my mate is willing to risk her life for mine,” said Mirai as he soon regretted saying anything as he was blasted into oblivion. “MIRAI!” cried Videl as she felt the sudden loss of him.  “YOU BASTARD!” Lime went over to her and wrapped her arms around her as she cried because of Mirai’s death. “Kakarot, Mirai had a point, let us see your mate fight.  Or is the wench to frightened to fight?” said Shadow as Kakarot ignored him. “Pikkon your next,” said Kakarot as Trunks activated his bomb and it reduced Pikkon’s strength to almost nothing in an instant. “I can’t my friend, they somehow drained all my power from me just now.  I have to rest, I’m sorry my friend,” said Pikkon as he teleported himself back to Other World. By then Goten had used a technique that allowed his body to think it had been resting for months and storing energy, along with being kept fed, to be able to fight again.  Goten smirked and snuck up behind Seventeen and blasted him through the gut unsuspectingly and rammed his head through him.  He was defeated before the next fight could begin and fell down shocked and mortally wounded, but Goten didn’t stop there as he ripped him to pieces.  Afterward it was him and Kasumi fighting as she wished to avenge her uncle’s death by defeating her other uncle.  However Goten proved to be too much for to handle so she was blasted into the ground where she was left to slowly die as she was out of energy. “Shadow…” said Kasumi slightly as she saw him pick her up carefully. “Yes Kasumi?” asked Shadow sadly as he watched his daughter dying. “If you find my father, can you tell him I love him?  It would really make me happy,” said Kasumi before he could reply she clutched her heart as it began to slow down. She watched the horror, agony, sadness, and remorse flow through his eyes as he nodded closing her eyes as he felt her leave for Other World.  With a silent mental command the ground was ripped open shallowly, yet deep enough to cover her body with soil.  He placed her body into the ground and slowly gave her a proper burial as he did with his other fighter’s bodies.  No one tried to stop him, not even Kakarot as he was too fascinated with Shadow’s behavior to attack him.  Shadow was burying the dead and he noticed muttering a prayer in Saiyago for their safe journey to Other World and for them to be at peace there.  After he buried all of them Kakarot know Shadow said something but it was too low and soft for even him to hear. “You will pay boy,” said Shadow angrily. Goten just shrugged and replied, “They were weaklings, low life scum.  They didn’t deserve in or on this world.  The new order that will come when you are defeated will ensure peace will remain on this planet for as long as my family lives.  For as long as we have descendants this world shall know true peace.” “Then your going to wish you had never done what you did boy.  Your going to go to hell when I’m finished with you or rather you’ll wish you were dead when I’m done,” said Shadow loathingly at Goten. “Words.  Can you not back up your words or are you going to threaten me all day?” asked Goten as he suddenly gasp for air as he felt a knee being driven into his stomach. “Is this better?” asked Shadow as he grabbed Goten by the hair and lifted him up.  “You were going to get a chance to live, but now you have forfeited that chance.  I’ll tell you now, you killed your own niece and that is unforgivable in my eyes.” He slammed Goten into the ground and lifted him up again and again and again, repeating the process until Goten’s nose was broken and bleeding.  Afterward he threw him into the side of a mountain and went after him.  Few people have ever seen Shadow angry before, two were dead and three never wanted to be on the receiving end again of his anger. “Now boy you will learn much about what it is to be a Saiyan,” said Shadow as he smashed Goten’s face through the stone wall. “You really think I’ll learn?  I have always been a hard learner when it comes to learning things about fighting,” said Goten as he lashed out at Shadow only to have himself knocked out by Shadow hitting a pressure point. - Turles smirked as Shadow dropped Goten at Kakarot’s feet.  He moved next as he struck Tien and Chaotzu, however they were expecting a sneak attack and began to battle it out with Turles.  After a while the two began to tire Turles out enough for him to be too weak to transform into Super Saiyan they would constantly use energy drain attacks on him.  When they thought he was weak enough they attempted a double Tri-Beam attack on him.  However he turned around snapped Chaotzu’s neck with a swift karate chop.  Chaotzu was dead before he hit the ground as his heart had stopped beating and Turles blasted his body into the ground.  Tien furious with grief latched onto Turles and self-destructed taking Turles with him to Other World. - “It seems that the numbers are uneven, why don’t I even them out for you,” said Kakarot as he snapped his fingers and Trunks fell over with a gaping hole in his abdomen. “TRUNKS!” yelled Vegeta as he ran to his son’s side only to find his body cold. “Hmm, it seems the odds are still a bit uneven.  Who shall go next?” asked Kakarot and with another snap of his fingers someone else was dead, this time Vegeta’s own daughter in-law. “VIDEL!” cried Vegeta as she cried softly in his arms. “Thank you papa, I’m going to be with Mirai and trunks now, show that prick what you’re made of for me,” said Videl with her lasts breaths as she faded into Other World. “I will Videl, for your honor and my family’s honor and so that this bastard can be stopped!” said Vegeta as he turned to Kakarot. “Are you ready now Vegeta?” asked Kakarot.  “You know you can’t beat me Vegeta, you never have been able to.  Even when you were stronger you couldn’t beat me.  The only ones to ever beat me are now dead or too weak to pose a threat to me.  Now it’s your turn Vegeta.” “BIG BANG ATTACK!” yelled Vegeta as he unleashed the move on Kakarot who swatted it away like it was nothing, like it was an insignificant attack. In another instant Kakarot was right in front of Vegeta with his palm to his stomach and whispered in his ear before releasing the blast.  “I will rule this world Vegeta, you were to be along side me, but since you refused and plotted against me then you die.  Tell Bulma I send my regards, she was a good second mate until you came along and claimed her for yourself.” “If you want the bitch so bad, then have her.  This was a challenge for her and to see if you could beat me.  You won both rounds and I renounce the claim on the whore of a bitch,” said Vegeta with disgust as Bulma appeared next to Kakarot hanging off his neck. “When did you find out I was sleeping with Kakarot, Vegeta?  Was it when I came home with his scent all over me and I told you tripped and fell on me?  Or was it the time that I actually screwed him in our bed?  I also screwed his first mate Chichi and we both screwed him.  He is so much better than you Vegeta, I hope you rot in hell when you die,” said Bulma as Kakarot removed Vegeta’s claim mark and replaced it with his own and then releasing the blast through Vegeta’s stomach and then snapping his neck all the way around. - Piccolo having watched the battles play out decided that he didn’t want in part of the battle and left the field.  But has he was leaving he saw Shadow looking at him and then to Kakarot. “Tell me Piccolo how well do you know Kakarot?  He has not gone mad, quite the opposite, he has become delusional.  Anyone who is not with him is against him.  So are you with him or against him?” asked Shadow. “I’m not with him.  He has twisted people to suit his needs and goals.  What do you want of me though Saiyan scum?” asked Piccolo. “Now don’t be rude, I’m only half Saiyan.  What I want is a thirty minute break, which only you can get.  Then I wish for you to join my team.  The Kai’s have all joined me, King Enma has as well, along with Namek’s on New Namek, not to mention various other races.  I’ll tell you now Namek, this planet used to be my home eight years ago.  But then my mother became too strict and manipulative, so I disobeyed her and she had my father banish me from this planet with the Scar of Exilement,” said Shadow. “I know who you are now… I’ll join your team,” said Piccolo. - “Goku, let’s take a rest.  Let them regroup and see what’s actually left of their options.  They may actually decided to heed your warning now and leave,” said Piccolo. “Not bad idea Piccolo, one hour is all I will give for a break, no more, no less.  Now Chichi can you cook up a nice big meal for us.  The sooner we end this fight, the sooner Goten can go back to his studies,” said Kakarot as he picked him up and carried over to the table. ­- “Shadow what are we going to do?  He’s killed almost all of our warriors and we don’t have that kind of strength,” said Lime. “Don’t worry Lime, I planned for this.  This is now a time for diversion, Piccolo will hopefully discreetly slip some sleeping powder into Kakarot’s drink or food.  When this happens, then I can get my bitch of a mother.  I’m going to reveal the truth to her and I may actually thank her for helping me become this strong,” said Shadow. “Okay, but what do we do until then?” asked Lime. “We rest and plan our strategy.  We also have to plan that Piccolo might betray us.  He hasn’t exactly been the type in the past to work with others willingly, unless he had no other choice,” said Shadow as he looked at Piccolo and the others thinking back to the first time he passed by Earth after being banished from it. -Flashback- It was one year after his encounter with Eighteen on Androma.  He had begun hunting her down and had made a name for himself as the most ruthless Bounty Hunter in the North Galaxy.  He found himself passing by Earth and was very tempted to  go down onto the planet, but he decided against it and instead went to Venus.  There he found that the atmosphere had changed since the last initial testing of its chance to actually live there.  The last testing indicated that it was impossible to live there, but his instruments showed it was almost exactly like Earth now.  Deciding to go down onto the planet itself he descended into atmosphere carefully. “Please identify unidentified vessel, this is Venusian Planetary Patrol,” said the voice. “This is Lunar Shadow, Venusian Planetary Patrol, requesting permission to land,” said Shadow. “Permission granted, land at following coordinates and await further instructions from tower,” said the voice. When Shadow had landed he found that the planet was very much like Earth, only with more mountains and volcanoes.  It was a nice planet and seemed to have a very stable commerce. “Lunar Shadow, welcome to Venus please state origins for record,” said the tower command. “Tower, this Lunar Shadow, I have no state of origins.  Exile from home world and looking for work,” said Shadow. “Noted, would you like to make Venus your home world, since exiled from original?” asked tower command. “Affirmative and negative, would like to be citizen of Venus, but not registered as home world.  I plan on leaving some time,” said Shadow. “Acknowledged Lunar Shadow, please state name and previous or current occupation,” said tower command. “Shadow Tempest Moon, Bounty Hunter slash Mercenary,” said Shadow. “Race?” asked tower command. “Saiyan hybrid, half Saiyan and half human,” stated Shadow. “Acknowledged, surviving Saiyan’s are welcome to join Venusian Grand Military.  So you’re from Earth huh, well that planet was always a backward world.  Consider your self a citizen of Venus and a member of the Venusian Bounty Hunter slash Mercenary Guild,” said tower command as his documents were transmitted to him. -Months later- Shadow had built his Empire on Venus, he had started Shadow Enterprises and quickly forged treaties, alliances, and cooperation’s with other company’s.  He also implemented a few laws on Venus and helped forge a treaty with some of the other planets in the galaxy.  He had come to be known as Shadow S. Moon.  Many believed that the S in his name stood to remind him of those who had banished him from his home world and his unquenchable thirst for vengeance against them for his most renowned scar, the Scar of Exilement.  However the S in his name stood for one thing and that was his race, the one he truly considered himself to be apart of, Saiyan.  Shadow Saiyan Moon, thus Shadow S. Moon abbreviated and shortened out. Shadow had become good friends with the leaders of Venus and even those who were too poor to have a home of their own or even an apartment.  He rounded people up off the streets and gave them a purpose in life, a home as well with full benefits.  He was consider a warrior saint, the one who had come to Venus as a lowly Bounty Hunter and Mercenary and built his way to the top with little more than nothing. Then the day came when he disappeared for two years.  Venus carried on as it did before he vanished, a statue of him wielding his mighty Saiyan Katana, specifically designed with Saiyan metal, bone, armor, and even a piece of the core from the original Saiyan home world.  He was considered a savior and he was glad he could help.  Stories of his greatness spread across the planet and its neighbors, except Earth, about how he left to find his purpose in the universe and was killed in battle against a tyrant so powerful that he sacrificed his own life to put the tyrant in Hell. -End Flashback- (Not a crossover right now, nothing to do with any other anime, nor will it ever be!) Shadow smiled at the memory and the story he had heard about himself.  He was still in charge of his company, but as the mysterious leader and owner who was in too much constant danger to show his face on many planets.  That is why he had chosen to return to Earth, plus his other plans, as all the pieces were beginning to fall into place to complete the big picture.  He watched as his father Kakarot fell asleep along with his younger brother and Bulma.  Carefully he made sure that Piccolo was no where near the area, making it seem that he went to meditate somewhere peacefully.  Walking over to Kakarot’s camp he noticed that Chichi had just finished the dishes. “Seven days have come and gone, the shadows of your sins are about to come to light and be revealed for many to see,” said Shadow cryptically getting Chichi’s attention. “You!  What are you doing over here?!  You have some guts to come over here and mess with me boy.  I may not have my husband’s strength and power, but I can easily bring you to your knees,” said Chichi arrogantly. “You mean your almighty Frying Pan of Doom?  That is pathetic, I have trained long hard to overcome many of my weaknesses and that is the first one I overcame,” said Shadow. “Who are you really?  That girl calls you Shadow, but I’ve heard her call you Shawn before.  Why is that you hate me so much?” demanded Chichi. “Eight years ago,” stated Shadow simply, “You turned on me, resulting in mine having this scar.” Shadow ripped off the sleeve of his gi and revealed the Scar of Exilement. “The Scar of Exilement, mother,” said Shadow in Saiyago knowing full well she could understand it through her bond with Kakarot.  “It is because of you that I was denied my family, the chance to see my brother grow up.  You warped him… manipulated him… twisted him… just enough so that he would hate everything about me… everything that I am.  But I do owe you some thanks, because of you I had to grow up much faster than an ordinary Saiyan or human.” “Gohan?!” said Chichi fearfully and then an idea struck her.  “I regretted doing it Gohan, I really do.  Can you ever forgive me?  We can be a family again if you just tell your father.” “Do you think me a fool wench?!  My psychic abilities have also grown in strength and power, for offense and defense, along with other parts,” said Shadow.  “Did you really think I was stupid?  I am strong, yes, but I am also powerful.  But as many things are in the universe power isn’t everything.  With great power, comes great responsibility.” (Quote: “With great power, comes great responsibility,” comes from Spider-Man, Marvel owns it.) “No, it can’t be, you wouldn’t kill me would you?  I mean I’m your mother!” said Chichi fearfully. “No I won’t kill you.  You will live… for now.  Tell Kakarot that the time has come for the Final Judgment of him and the Son lineage,” said Shadow as he turned around to find Kakarot awake and with Piccolo’s body in one hand.  “Clever Kakarot, but not clever enough.  Did you actually think I didn’t plan for this?  Did you actually believe I am that stupid and foolish?  If so then you truly are a fool.” Shadow disappeared from sight as he listened to Chichi tell Kakarot everything about who he was.  But to his utter surprise he heard Kakarot say and do the one thing he didn’t expect from him. “I know, I had an inkling that it was hi since he seemed to hate us so much.  Oh and Chichi tell your father I send my greetings,” said Kakarot. “But my father is dead,” said Chichi confused. “Exactly,” said Kakarot as he blasted Chichi to Other World. “So Kakarot are you in the habit of getting rid of your wives now?” asked Shadow. “She served her purpose, the only thing I will miss from her is her meals.  My plans are coming to full bloom, the only thing I didn’t expect was for you to appear again.  It was an unexpected pleasure to see you again, so I could finish the job I started eight years ago.  But now that my plans are nearly complete, nothing can stop me now, not even you.  Now Shenron arise to grant my wishes!” said Kakarot as Shenron appeared. “You have summoned me from my slumber, what are your wishes?” asked Shenron getting straight to the point. “I wish fro the ability to create a portal through time to any destination that life is still habitable on this planet!” yelled Kakarot. “Your wish has been granted, what is your second wish?” asked Shenron. “Shenron I wish-“ “I wish to have my tail back and never be able to be removed again!” said Kakarot. “Your wish has been granted,” said Shenron as he disappeared and the Dragon Balls scattered across the planet. “Now since my tail is back, I get a bit stronger.  However since you seem to be stronger than me, I’ll just send you flying through time into parts even unknown to me,” said Kakarot as he opened the portal right behind Shadow who was sucked in and sent flying through time. Lime saw what happened had left the battle field and sent a silent plea for help out into the galaxy.  Hopefully somebody would help them. - As Shadow was sent flying through the portal, he emerged on the other side of the portal only to see a ruined land with thousands of graves.  Looking around he found himself face to face with a statue of Kakarot.  The statue held a cold look in his eyes and he wore an amulet that signified him as the ruler.  Shadow didn’t know where he was or in what time he was in, but he knew that if Kakarot was here it meant trouble.  Deciding to look around he found many buildings in ruins and two symbols in the Saiyan language that meant only one thing.  The symbols meant Shadow and Resistance, the Shadow Resistance. “Halt who goes there!” said a voice behind him.  “Turn around slowly.” Shadow did as he was told not knowing what type of weapons or technology they held in the time and world he was on.  When he was fully turned around he heard the weapon hit the ground, which had been being held by a woman who had startled him a little bit. “Shadow?” asked the woman. “How is it that you know my name woman?” asked Shadow. “It’s me, Videl, the Kai’s had been kind enough to resurrect me and a few others.  But they were too late and Kakarot has done this to the land,” said Videl gesturing to the land about them. “Where are we at Videl?  What planet is this and what year is it?” asked Shadow. “You’re on Earth or rather, what is left of the Earth you once knew.  This planet is under Kakarot’s control now and has been for the past hundred years.  It is exactly one hundred years since your disappearance from the universe,” said Videl. “What is the damn date?!” demanded Shadow. “That date you disappeared from the universe was seven dash twenty-nine dash three thousand nine hundred (7-29-3900).  It is now seven dash twenty-nine dash four thousand (7-29-4000),” said Videl sadly. “And Lime?  What happened to Lime?” asked Shadow. “…” “What happened to Lime?  Tell me damn it!” demanded Shadow. “She was captured by Kakarot and raped, when she gave him three children, triplets, he killed her.  They were raised to hate their mother, as were my children when I was captured and raped by that bastard.  I had to kill my own children so that they could stop tormenting people.  I had been lucky to escape, but Lime hadn’t been so lucky.  I tried to take her with me, but the guards caught up with us and we were weak from starvation.  We were almost free when she pushed me off the cliff and took the blast that was meant for me, it came from Kakarot himself,” explained Videl and for the first time in her life she saw Shadow cry. “Now I have nothing to live for, except revenge.  Kakarot shall die for what he has done,” said Shadow as he stood up and shattered the statue of Kakarot into rubble.  “Now it has truly begun the Final Judgment shall be passed and I shall be the instrument hat passes that judgment on him.” - A/N:  Chapter Four is now done.  I apologize to all you have been waiting for this chapter, but school has gotten in the way a bit.  But now I’m on my way to writing Chapter Five.  Unfortunately I don’t really have much in the way of a poll or any responses towards the reviews.  If I can get at least a dozen reviews on this one chapter then I’ll make the next one longer than usual and I’ll get it posted as fast as I can possibly get it posted.  Well here’s my pathetic poll:   Should I give up on this story?

Sneak Peak Preview Poll: Who should Shadow be paired up with?  You choose. Who should the major villain be?  You choose. Should Shadow have any siblings, besides Goten?  You choose. Should Goku/Kakarot be alive at the beginning?  You choose.   Well that’s it for the Sneak Peak Preview Poll.  Let me know your answers as soon as I have this posted and please don’t just give yes, no, yes, no answers.  Please put a reason beside them. -         Shadow Kage
A/N:  Thank you for all the reviews and responses to my polls.  The Sneak Peak Preview Poll shall be updated with your requests and shall remain open for one or two more chapters.  Now I’ve got a lot to cover as far as your concerns and questions go for my normal poll. 1.           & nbsp;            I’ve received reviews expressing concerns about Kakarot/Goku.  I’ll explain it briefly; Kakarot/Goku is not insane.  The Kakarot and Goku personalities have been working in joint cooperation, but during the fight with Shadow after he killed Chichi and sent Shadow through the time vortex Kakarot took complete control of their body, merging with the Goku personality permanently. 2.                       &nb sp; I’ve also had many requests that Shadow die during the fight against the future Kakarot.  Now I won’t reveal anything really that concerns the fate of the two, except that whatever happens will change the outcome of the battle against the ultimate villain that has yet to arrive on Earth.  That’s it for now; there are only a few more chapters left, seeing as how these chapters are real long.  I would also like to thank the following users for their reviews on the last chapter: DBGT Goku, hope, Enraged, Gozen V, and Lov3the3vil, along with anybody else who submits a review before this chapter is posted.
