“Enerjak Revealed”
ooo
The spirit controlling Kumo's body approached Mt. Fate, where his true body was trapped inside. One thousand years didn't hinder his knowledge of the staff's powers. He knew exactly what to do. He raised the staff into the air and it began to glow...
*WHAM*
And suddenly, out of nowhere, he received a hard kick to his side and was sent soaring into the dirt ground below.
"Sorry about that, Kumo," said Gohan as he pulled back from his kick, "But it was for your own good."
"Gohan! Trunks!" Akira chimed as Pan raced over to the unconscious boy to check on him. Meanwhile, Trunks was arriving while holding onto a giant pink bubble which contained Goten, who was yelling at his friend to get him out.
"Hold on Goten..." Trunks banged on the bubble to no avail. Goten charged a ki ball and tossed it at the surface, but it merely bounced off and struck him back. "Idiot..." Trunks muttered, but then something caught his eye. Zayde's glaive, a sharp pointy option, and he got it. "Hey pal, HEADS UP!" he shouted as he reared Goten back and hurled him at Zayde.
Zayde, instinctively thinking that it was a sort of attack, immediately raised his glaive in order to shield himself. The bubble landed square on the pointy tip of the prince's weapon, and it simply popped like bubblegum. Goten blinked, surprised at how he had attained his freedom, then looked over to Zayde and gave a sheepish smile. "Er... thanks!"
"Let go of me this instant, wench!!!"
Everyone else turned their heads to see Pan holding Kumo in a tight lock behind his back as he kicked and struggled to get free. Zayde rushed over and patted the boy's body. "Where's the canister, Enerjak??" he demanded as he patted lower and felt a large lump in his pants. He raised his shirt and saw the golden jar sticking out of his clothes. "Got it!!"
Kumo grimaced wickedly. "Not again! GET AWAY!" He threw his head back and screamed as he let loose a surge of ki, blowing away Pan and Zayde. He grabbed the canister before it could fall out and took to the sky. Goten, Gohan, Trunks, and Akira shot after him in different directions, but Kumo raised his staff in the air, releasing an energy shield that expanded and slammed into each warrior, knocking them back down to the ground.
"Heeheheheheh...!" the boy sneered, "Give it up, no one can stop the powers of Enerjak, not even you 'superheroes', for only I reign supreme!"
Gohan rushed to his younger brother and helped him up. "I say we just knock him out for all he's worth!" he growled, but Goten furiously shook his head.
"No! We can't hurt Kumo!"
"How else do you expect to stop him?"
Before he could answer, the Z warriors picked their heads up towards a small ki, rapidly heading their way. Enerjak, with the help of Kumo's body, was able to feel it too. "What is this now...?"
A small spec appeared in the horizon, and as it came closer, the figure's form became increasingly clearer. "REEMAAATCH!!!"
*POW!*
Out of completely nowhere, Zurosu arrived on the scene, jamming both her fists full force into Kumo's gut, and jamming him up against Mt. Fate, the force and shock causing both the staff and canister to fly out of his hand. The canister luckily landed in Zayde's hands, while the staff landed by Akira.
Trunks' eyes nearly bulged out as the "mystery warrior’s identity was revealed. "Z... Zurosu?!"
The girl pointed an accusing finger at the boy, who was slowly pulling himself out from the imprint he left in the mountain. "Kumo!! I'll make you pay for what you did to my grandpa!! I won't forgive you!! It's time for our big rematch fight, right here right now!"
Kumo rubbed his jaw, and sneered. "You again? Annoying wench, you just don't know when to quit." He slammed his fist in his other hand, "Very well, I'll put you out of the way once and for all!" He wound back and threw his fists at the young girl, but this time, she was much more on guard and avoided every attack, while she exchanged attacks aimed for Kumo.
Everyone else watched from below, dumbstruck. Akira slowly twirled the staff around in his fingers. "Well... whattya say we just let her take care of it from here?"
"Are you nuts?!" Trunks snapped at the saiyan, then turned his attention back to the battle, "Zurosu Briefs, you get your butt down here this instant!!!"
Distracted, Zurosu suddenly stopped fighting and turned to face her father, only to have Kumo slam his right fist into her face and hurtle her into the mountain herself. Trunks gasped in horror. "ZU!"
Zurosu cringed in pain as she struggled to pull herself out, but came face-to-face with a bright glowing fist. Kumo was charging a ki blast, but his fist was clenched tightly. "You troublesome pest," he seethed, "This ends now!!!" Ki in fist, Kumo punched his arm towards the girl.
Zurosu covered her head with her arms as she vainly tried to protect herself from the killer attack. She felt the immense power coming closer... however it never struck. The quarter-saiyan opened one eye and looked up to see the ki-powered fist had been caught and twisted backwards by an adult super saiyan. "Daddy!!"
Before Kumo could redirect his attack, Trunks rapidly spun him around and grabbed him from behind, holding him tightly against his chest to prevent escape. The ki in his fist sizzled out as Trunks tightened his grip and strained more pressure on his body. "I don't care if you are Goten's son!" he shouted, "I've had enough of you and your cheating strategies! I'll squeeze that spirit out of you if I have to!!"
"Trunks, stop!!" Goten shouted from below, "Don't hurt him! It's still Kumo inside!!"
"And when did Kumo last try to kill us all and take over the world, huh??"
"YOU!" Zayde shouted over to Akira, "Destroy the staff! Now!! It's the only source of Enerjak's power! Without it, then you should be able to take on the boy with ease!"
Akira stared down at the golden staff that he was holding. "Destroy it...? But, what if it's the only thing that'll bring back Kumo?"
Zayde narrowed his eyes, "At this rate, the boy is beyond saving. He will have to be put away before Enerjak manages to regain his body."
Goten's eyes widened, then furrowed, "Not happening!!!"
"Damn it.... let... me... GO!!!" Kumo screamed as he once again let loose a black aura with engulfed Trunks and sent him in a wave of pain.
"Kumo, no, stop it!!" Zurosu cried as she started banging her fists on his chest, distracting him and releasing the black aura. Annoyed, the tyrant-inhabited child slammed his fist onto her head with full force, which sent her hurtling towards the rocky ground below, only to be caught in the arms of Pan. Trunks turned his attention from the possessed child to his daughter, racing down to her aid.
Zayde held out the canister. "All right, that's it... I'm going to speak the incantation before anything else happens."
Akira and Goten looked over at the Arnax prince. "Incantation..?"
"The spell I used before to trap Enerjak's soul into the canister."
"Will it free Kumo??" Goten asked.
Zayde was silent for a moment, then replied, "It'll most likely take his soul with it...” He pried open the lid, held the canister in the air, and began to chant. "Audio ye, turpificatus... GAH!!" He was taken back as Goten sudden jumped on him while wrestling the canister out of his hand. "What are you doing!?"
"Listen pal!" Goten growled, "We're going to save Kumo before we doing anything with Enerjak, got it??"
"Return my staff this instant!!!"
Akira jumped into the sky in time before Kumo could swoop down suddenly and make a grab for the staff. He jumped up after him, and froze when the saiyan suddenly pointed the staff at him, smirking. "This ends now, Enerjak," he said, then started waving the staff back and forth, "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen! Evil spirits, DISPERSE!!!" He aimed the staff at Kumo.
A faint breeze blew by the two as absolutely nothing happened.
Akira stood there, feeling rather silly and stupid... but waved the staff back and forth some more. "Abracadabra, hocus pocus... GET THE HELL OUTTA KUMO!!!"
He aimed the staff at Kumo once more, only to have nothing happening.
Kumo zipped up to Akira and bonked him hard on the head. "IDIOT!" he shouted, "How dare you mock me with your futile attempts to use the staff! Only a member of the royal bloodline is capable of accessing the powers!"
"Then how is Kumo able to use it?" Pan asked Zayde.
"It's not Kumo, it's Enerjak," the prince responded, "He's got a magic hold on the staff, which convinces it that he's related to my family. Didn't you learn this when YOU were in elementary school?"
Pan scratched the back of her head, "Well, no offense, but it was practically the most boring topic taught..."
Akira looked down at the staff, then back up at Kumo. "Okay.... Plan B!"
And he whacked Kumo hard on the head with the staff.
The boy stumbled backwards, his senses out of whack and an enormous headache covering his skull. "Aigh...!"
Akira, in rage turning to Super Saiyan, grabbed him by his shirt collar and began shaking him uncontrollably. "Give us back Kumo! Return his body or else!!"
Kumo gazed up at the saiyan man, and gave a wicked grin, before suddenly grabbing the opposite end of the staff. Before Akira could react, they were both engulfed in a bright white aura. Akira screamed in pain as his power and strength seemed to be draining from him, and drifted into Kumo's body.
"AKIRA!" Pan cried.
Kumo chuckled, "I could feel such immense power out of you, boy," he spoke, "You may be able to hide it, but this body could still sense it. GIVE IT ALL TO ME!"
Goten, Trunks, and Gohan took to the air in an attempt to stop him, but Kumo had turned around, and surprisingly knocked all three down with one shot.
"Daddy!" Zurosu cried as Trunks landed nearby her, "Are you okay??"
"No way!" Gohan cried, "It's as if Enerjak completely absorbed all of Akira's strength!"
Zayde stood there, eyes wide and mouth agape. "No...!" he stuttered, "With... that sort of power... he..."
The aura finally died down. Akira's hair went black once again and he plummeted to the ground. Pan wasted no time rushing to her husband's side.
Kumo, hair wavering, eyes with an evil dark tint to them, smirked as he stared down at the group. "Pathetic... now none of you can stop me."
"Audio ye, turpificatus.... Audire ad hic incantamenti"
Kumo's eyes traveled to the tall man with the purple horns coming out of his head, otherwise known as Prince Zayde.
"Etiam jeci voster anima intro meus matula!"
He recognized that spell. It was what trapped him before. He was indeed holding that blasted canister in the air while it began glowing brightly.
"Saepio com meus spiritus... Ac vostra corpus versor..."
Well, he obviously wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. He rose his index finger and aimed at Zayde's chest.
"Nam aeternita--"
*B-ZAM!*
A single ki beam shot straight into Zayde's heart before he could finish the spell. The beam shot out of his back, along with blood, gore, and scorched organs. Zurosu screamed and buried her face in her father’s leg, and he bent down to hold her close. Zayde fell backwards, with no life left in his dark eyes....
Everyone watched in horror as the only person to seal Enerjak away was taken out, and by little Kumo of all people!
The child began chuckling once more. "I release you from your curse, Prince of Arnax," he sneered, "For only I was the only person able to kill you. You said not being able to die was a curse, wasn't it?" He turned to face Mt. Fate. "And now..."
Goten clenched his fist tightly. He didn't want to do this, but apparently, he had no choice.
He would have to kill his own son.
He cupped his hands to the side, and blue energy began to form. "Ka... me... ha... me..."
Gohan turned to his brother in shock, "Goten, what're you--?!"
"HAAA!!!"
The energy wave shot straight up at the child, who merely looked over his shoulder at the oncoming attack. He raised his staff and formed a purple orb around himself as the Kamehameha bounced off and headed straight towards the warriors. Pan, Trunks, and Gohan quickly grabbed the injured Akira, the young Zurosu and crestfallen Goten and jumped out of the way, unfortunately only leaving Zayde's body to be disintegrated by the attack.
Smirking once more, Kumo turned back to the mountain and raised the staff into the air. It began glowing brightly once more as the spirit in the child's mind mentally summoned the destruction of the mountain. And with that single thought, the mountain blew up, every inch bursting into pebbles as in its place shone a white light that shot into the sky from the ground. In that light floated up a skeletal corpse. Kumo pointed the glowing staff at the corpse, and it too began to bathe in a bright light of its own, which then shot into the quarter-saiyan. Kumo's body suddenly jerked upright as if he was suddenly given electric volts and a dark mist exited him, traveling through the bright light, and into the corpse. The corpse then straightened up, and its skeletal features began taking the form of a man. The man flexed out his hand, and the staff flew from Kumo's hand to his.
"Yessss...!!!" the newly formed body breathed and examined himself over, "I'm truly alive! I am me once more!!! LONG LIVE ENERJAK!!!!"
The others watched in horror as the tyrant took his form, until something caught Goten's eye. It looked like a boy, falling from where Enerjak stood.
"KUMO!" Goten jumped forward and rushed to his son, just barely missing as he caught him in his arms.
As Goten cradled his child, Gohan took to the air and zoomed to Enerjak, ready to attack. He managed to catch Enerjak off guard as he socked him in the chin, knocking his head backwards. But to his shock, the tyrant simply raised his head back up and grinned cunningly at the saiyan scholar. "That sort of tickled," he muttered.
Gohan blinked, almost exasperated, then reared back and hooked him in the face, continuing to throw punches at the ancient monster. If this were any other human, Enerjak surely would have been dead.
Unfortunately, he was like no other human.
"I grow weary of this game of yours," he sneered as he motioned the staff at Gohan. Suddenly, every muscle in the demi-saiyan's body froze. Gohan could not move, and he was wide open to Enerjak's kick to his left arm, snapping the bones in two, as well as hurtling him to the ground as well.
"DAD!" Pan rushed over to Gohan and helped him struggle up to his knees.
"Man...!" Gohan grabbed his broken arm, "He's practically invincible! We can't harm him!"
Enerjak glared down at the helpless group as they gathered closer, his eyes mainly locked on Kumo, the boy who had helped him for so long. He was obviously very gifted. He would be a worthy asset... perhaps even make an excellent heir.
He grinned evilly as he reared back, then dove at the ground, his staff extended. The warriors turned tail, Pan dragging Akira, Trunks yanking Zurosu along, and Goten holding Kumo closely as Enerjak swooped down and swished his staff above their heads. Explosions erupted all around them from thin air and they were forced to hit the deck. In all the commotion and debris, Goten accidentally dropped Kumo and he rolled to the side, an easy target for Enerjak to grab and take off to the sky.
"No..!" Goten gasped.
Enerjak hovered miles above them, seemingly taunting by waving the unconscious boy above them. "When we meet again, my apprentice and I shall have taken control of the world! Until then, live in fear! Fare thee well!"
Goten jumped and charged at Enerjak, but the tyrant had swung his staff and had disappeared before the half-saiyan could reach him. He punched and felt around, but Enerjak wasn't invisible. He was clearly gone...
And so was Kumo...
"No...." Goten slowly floated back to the ground, falling to his hands and knees, tears streaming down his face. "Kumo..." He threw his head back and let loose a scream of anguish. "KUMOOO!!!!"
oooooooooo
oooooooooo
Here 's a literal translation of the spell Zayde used.
"Hear you, the corrupted
Listen to this spell
And cast your soul in my jar
Which I shall seal with my life
And your body be separated
For eternity"
It's all in Latin, and lemme tell you... it is freakin' HARD to just find a site with a working English-to-Latin online translator. Grrrrr!!!
The line “Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen” is actually a Shinto charm to dispel evil spirits. If you watch “Sailor Moon” (and in Japanese), you’ll hear Rei/Sailor Mars use it constantly

Enerjak glared down at the helpless group as they gathered closer, his eyes mainly locked on Kumo, the boy who had helped him for so long. He was obviously very gifted. He would be a worthy asset... perhaps even make an excellent heir.
He grinned evilly as he reared back, then dove at the ground, his staff extended. The warriors turned tail, Pan dragging Akira, Trunks yanking Zurosu along, and Goten holding Kumo closely as Enerjak swooped down and swished his staff above their heads. Explosions erupted all around them from thin air and they were forced to hit the deck. In all the commotion and debris, Goten accidentally dropped Kumo and he rolled to the side, an easy target for Enerjak to grab and take off to the sky.
"No..!" Goten gasped.
Enerjak hovered miles above them, seemingly taunting by waving the unconscious boy above them. "When we meet again, my apprentice and I shall have taken control of the world! Until then, live in fear! Fare thee well!"
Goten jumped and charged at Enerjak, but the tyrant had swung his staff and had disappeared before the half-saiyan could reach him. He punched and felt around, but Enerjak wasn't invisible. He was clearly gone...
And so was Kumo...
"No...." Goten slowly floated back to the ground, falling to his hands and knees, tears streaming down his face. "Kumo..." He threw his head back and let loose a scream of anguish. "KUMOOO!!!!"
oooooooooo
oooooooooo
Here 's a literal translation of the spell Zayde used.
"Hear you, the corrupted
Listen to this spell
And cast your soul in my jar
Which I shall seal with my life
And your body be separated
For eternity"
It's all in Latin, and lemme tell you... it is freakin' HARD to just find a site with a working English-to-Latin online translator. Grrrrr!!!
The line “Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen” is actually a Shinto charm to dispel evil spirits. If you watch “Sailor Moon” (and in Japanese), you’ll hear Rei/Sailor Mars use it constantly
