Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dragon Ball New Generation ❯ Sign Of A Coward ( Chapter 30 )

Sign of a Coward

Piccolo launched himself at Ii-Shenron, grasping a ball of created ki in one hand. He was about to fire it off when Ii Shenron smiled at him. He briefly powered up, and Piccolo paused, clutching his arms.
"What's wrong?!" Rue called to the Namek.
Ii Shenron told them that they too, have fallen victim to his energy draining ability. They all tried to fight back, but Ii was draining them to quickly. One by one, the youngsters fell.

"He looks flawless." Kaioshin commented.
They all gazed at the result of Gokou and Vegeta's fusion; Kujiita.
"He should be enough to defeat Ii." G added. Elder Kai took a good stare at the young produced fighter.
"I'm not sure, but lets hope so."
All of a sudden, Nion raced up, jumping up and down like crazy.
"Piccolo-san! It's Piccolo-san and the others. They're in trouble now!"
They sure were! They were all now lying on the ground, struggling to even breath.
"Is it possible to beat a monster like that?" Kaioshin asked, not expecting an answer.
"Possible? I am the possible."
The Elder, G, Nion and Kaioshin all turned around to Kujiita. That was the first time he spoke after the second go of fusion.
"What did you-"
"Look, I can beat him. Piece of cake. You think he's so powerful, but you haven't seen my strength. You weaklings all wait here, and once you know it...victory!"
Kujiita then took off into the sky, and in a lightning speed, disappeared.
A gentle gust blew over the remaining warriors. G crossed his arms.
:"I thought you said he won't be cocky..."
Elder Kai shrugged his shoulders.
"He shouldn't be. If he is, it must be inherited either from Gokou or Vegeta."
They all looked at each other, and looked back up into the sky.
"From Vegeta."

Kujiita landed on a nearby rocky ledge, and looked around. The surroundings looked quiet and peaceful, but the ki signal that was being given off, wasn't. He closed his eyes and smiled.
"I think its time for Ii to meet his end."
With that, he flew off into the sky towards the battlefield.

As he appeared to Ii-Shenron, it startled the dragon a bit. He didn't think they had any other fighters left to face him...besides the Saiya-jin.
"Who are you?" Ii inquired.
Kujiita cracked his neck, side to side, and warmed up his muscles.
"Don't you remember my face? Don't I look familiar to you? I'm insulted!"
Ii Shenron took a good long stare at the boy, and lowered his arms, stopped draining energy. The boy continued warming himself up, as Ii contemplated. He then remembered a similarity in the outfit he was wearing. It looked like the one Gokou and Vegeta's fusion character, Gojiita, wore. He smiled.
"You're the result of a fusion aren't you?"
Kujiita was surprised.
"Not so dumb eh? I guess their is a brain somewhere behind that ugly mug of yours."
Ii watched as Kujiita introduced himself...the result of Vegeta Jr and Gokou Jr's fusion. Ii found this amusing, concluding that the Saiya-jin had to fuse to stand a chance against him. Kujiita wasn't laughing.
"I came here to kick that ass of yours." he said pointing at Ii, "You mess with them, you mess with me."
Ii chuckled.
"-Them?-"
Ii looked down at Gokun, Piccolo, Rue, Sage and Thyme lying on the ground.
"You're a little too late."
Kujiita looked at his fallen friends. He became totally stunned to find them turned into stone.
"What the?!-"
"I took all their energy" Ii sneered, "They're dead. Get it? You're too late silly boy."
Kujiita turned to look at each of them, and grew great in anger. His eyes became blurry, and tears produced by his anger began to show. His arms begun to shake and his fists clenched hard.
"You, you fiend-"
Ii laughed, but was soon taken back as the boy powered up in a burning rage shouting;
"You'll pay Ii, and I'm going to make sure of it!"

The two began to battle, but Ii was bigheaded, not taking the fight seriously. Kujiita was furious, but after exchanging some more blows, Kujiita turned himself into a Super Saiya-jin. He powered up, and his aura glowed furiously. Kujiita's eyes fumed with anger, with the loss of his close friends. Ii saw this and found this rather amusing. The battle between the evil dragon, and the young warrior raged on, but Ii didn't seemed to anxious that maybe he'll lose.
"Just as I thought..." Ii muttered, trying to work up Kujiita, "nothing but a weakling."
Super Saiya-jin Kujiita huffed, and descended onto the ground. He smirked at his adversary.
"You really think that I was fighting seriously? Geez, I'm not sure if that was a joke or an insult!" Kujiita closed his eyes, and rubbed his nose.
"Or maybe, "he continued, "it wasn't a joke or an insult. Maybe its a clue to your future."
"What the heck are you talking about?!"
Kujiita clenched his fists, and the ground began to crumble below him. The clouds began to stir, and lightning seemed to be emitted from the boy's body.
"You're future will meet its end at the fate of me-"
Kujiita powered up, yelling his lungs out. Fists clenched harder, footprints embedded into the tough ground. Ki raising, and muscles expanding. Ii-Shenron wasn't sure what he was in for as his enemy stood before him with long golden hair.
"Super Saiya-jin 3 Kujiita!" the new form of the Kujiita.

***

Elder Kai, Kaioshin, G and Nion watched the radical transformation of Kujiita.
"That's amazing!" Kaioshin cried, "How could someone that young exert that kind of power?"
"What do you expect Kai?" Rou Kaioshin said, taking the younger Kai's attention.
"Kujiita is a mix of true warrior blood. Remember? Those kids have the blood of the strongest fighters ever to appear in the entire universe."
Kaioshin turned red.
"In the entire universe you say? Please Elder, you did not have to say it out like that. We could've went along with it, letting everyone think we're still the most powerful."
Elder Kai laughed.
"I suppose so, but these Saiya-jin...they continue to amaze me. Their strength cannot be understood. What makes them so powerful?"
"Its because we're from a warrior race!" Nion answered. G smiled at his cute cousin, as the two Kai's stared at her.
"That's right Nion. Who told you that?" G laughed.
"Vegeta did. He told me not to forget who we are, and where we come from."
"Is that so?" Elder Kai crossed his arms, embarrassed, "Kai's are still stronger. We'll take you Saiya-jin on any day!"
Kaioshin laughed, and G joined in. Elder Kai made the funniest face ever. Nion bent over the crystal ball, and took a better look. SSJ3 Kujiita was fighting Ii, but Nion was worried.
"Oh no!"
"What is it child?" Kaioshin asked.
"Kujiita is losing!" she pointed.
They all leaned over.
"Are you sure?"
After some careful examinations, they realized Nion was right. Even a SSJ3 wasn't doing particularly well against Ii-Shenron.
"This is outragest! We develop a powerful fusion which should gave us the advantage, but it seems like it's not working. Why is this Elder?" Kaioshin questioned.
"Ii has taken the energy from his victims. They have extraordinary powers, and with their added strength, he's unbeatable. "
"If that's the case, what shall we do?" he panicked.
Elder Kai shrugged.
"Beats me."

***

SSJ3 Kujiita was throwing punches, but they weren't fast enough to hit Ii-Shenron.
"How much more do I need to show you, that I am the strongest being ever in this meaningless universe!" Ii said.
Kujiita didn't know what to do. He didn't understand why even a SSJ3 fighter couldn't do much. He looked at the lifeless bodies of his friends on the ground, still laying on the ground as stone.
Its because he stole your energy, he concluded.
"Ready to give up?" Ii asked.
Kujiita raised his fist at the beast.
"Never! You think you're the most powerful being in the universe, but you only achieved that through stealing other peoples energy!"
Ii laughed.
"Nothing wrong with that."
The fighting continued, and as time went by, Kujiita struggled to hurt Ii. It soon came apparent that he couldn't defeat him. Not in this form. Ii was soon hitting Kujiita around, especially after he lost the energy to hold the Super Saiya-jin 3 transformation. He was in trouble, and the fusion was going to be split soon. After that, they wouldn't be able to do much as an individual.

***

"We have to save him." Kaioshin said.
They all knew that was the case, but it was damn dangerous. After some speculation, they all decided to transport to the Lookout.

Pan was concentrating, watching the battle through her mind. So were the rest of them, but they didn't know who's ki they we're sensing at the moment. It was new.
"What is going on?" Linni asked, "Why can't I feel the others energy signals?"
All of a sudden, Kaioshin appeared with Elder Kai, G and Nion with him. They couldn't believe it. Linni was happy to see her cousins were fine, but after they questioned them about the battle, they became stunned at the turn of events- the death of their comrades.
"This is terrible." Linni said.
"And it wasn't even that long ago that we were standing beside them in battle." Pastri added.
"That's not the least of our problems either." alarmed Kaioshin, "Kujiita is in grave danger against Ii-Shenron. We must do something before he un-fuses."
"What are you talking about?"
"Fuse did you say?"
Elder Kaioshin explained to them that Kujiita was the result of Gokou Jr and Vegeta Jr's fusion. They all were so surprised, especially knowing the personalities of the two. Elder Kai turned to the younger Kai.
"You know what to do."
Kaioshin thought for a second, and nodded.

***

Kujiita hit the ground real hard, leaving a large crater in the Earth's surface. As he struggled to get up, Ii hovered above him, laughing.
"Maybe I should take pity on you..."
He then appeared on the ground, beside the tired fighter, and kicked him into the sky.
Ii charged up some energy, and sent several beams at Kujiita, but he wasn't down for the count yet, and was able to maneuver them.
"You still got some fight left." said Ii.
Kujiita landed onto the ground. He wasn't sure what he could do now. Ii was much to powerful, especially after absorbing all of Gokun's, Sage, Piccolo Thyme and Rue's ki. Not willing to give up yet, the young fighter created a giant energy ball and threw it at Ii-Shenron. To his dismay, Ii kicks it aside.
"I guess this is the end for you..." Ii says.
Kujiita begins to freak out. He started to think he was going to die.
"It was good while it lasted. Maybe for me, but it seems your luck has run out."
Ii Shenron lands on the ground and slowly paced towards Kujiita, who slowly stepped back.
"Are you afraid?"
Kujiita shakes, and refuses to answer. This makes Ii's day since revenge will be served earlier than expected.
"I did expect more from Saiya-jin you know."
Ii stepped closer, and Kujiita stepped back. His hands shaking wildly, and sweating bullets.
"Not a true Saiya-jin I believe. You don't measure up to your ancestors at all. At least they had guts to fight me."
Ii was almost in Kujiita's face, but just before he was going to grab the boy's throat, Kujiita burst into the sky and flew off at a lightning speed. Ii laughed, and joined the chase. He sent ki blasts his way, but he was able to move out of the way.
"You coward!" Ii yelled at him.
"Face me like a true warrior! At least one with honor!"
After Ii had enough, he charged up and threw a finishing attack at Kujiita. Just as he was about to block it, he un-fused back into Vegeta Jr and Gokou Jr. The two looked in horror at each other, and then turned to the energy ball looming over them.
"We can't stop it!" Gokou cried.
"Lets try fusing again then!" Vegeta suggested,
"I'm too beat too." Gokou told him. Vegeta agreed. He was also tired. They both looked on, hearing Ii's evil laughter, when all of a sudden, Kaioshin appeared behind them.
"Kaioshin!" they both cried.
"Hold on!" he told them. Kaioshin wrapped his arms around the two boys and teleported away.
Ii watched as the energy ball blew up on impact. It disintegrated anything it touched, including the bodies of Gokun, Thyme, Piccolo, Rue and Sage. Victory was his!
