Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Internal Darkness ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 9 )

Goku has used instant transmission to teleport everyone to Earth to fight Yami. What will they find when they get there? Will Yami be wiping out the human race or will he be waiting for them? Read and find out or may you all be cursed with eternal suffering in the dark void of nothingness.

 

Everyone but Elder Kai, Hercule, and Dende teleported back to Earth with Goku and when they arrived they were surprised that Yami hadn't started his rampage yet.

 

“Well, we'd better try and sense him since we can't see him anywhere.” Said Goku while looking around.

 

“That won't be necessary.” A voice came out of nowhere. Goku could tell it was coming from right behind him but when he turned around there was no one there.

 

“Show yourself!” He said.

 

“Very well then.” The air in front of Goku shimmered and with a crackle of energy Yami appeared before them. He looked different though as he was no longer in any kind of super Saiyajin form. He didn't exactly look normal either as his eyes now seemed to be black holes and his shoulder length hair was still black. He smirked in a way that made him look insane though everyone was already wondering about that fact anyways.

 

“You shouldn't have bothered resurrecting the humans, I only wanted you to restore the Earth so that I could restart creation once I finished with the rest of the universe. Now I'll have to go through the trouble of annihilating the human race all over again. You guys should join me though, I could always use some peace enforcers.”

 

“No thanks. We protect the people of the universe, we don't enslave them.” Goku said, shaking his head.

 

“Pity. I guess I'll just have to destroy you then.” Yami seemed to faze out of existence for a moment, but less than a second later he was back in his dark form, his long black hair ruffling a bit in a slight breeze that had picked up.

 

“Now, if you just sit there and don't resist I'll make this as quick as possible. However if you wish to try and fight me I can't make you any promises.”

 

“Oh come now. Surely you know by now that we don't back down from a fight. Unless you've been blind to the outside world when you were hiding.” Vegeta said with a snarl.

 

“Such hostility. Your son was born with my soul inside of him. I do not get to choose which body I'm born into so don't blame me. You all may think of me as evil for the things that I'm trying to do but I'm really not all that bad. I've just had to learn how to work with the darkness to accomplish my goals. Why do you condemn me so when all I wish to do is right a terrible wrong?”

 

“Because you want to kill all life. Just because things didn't turn out the way you intended doesn't mean that you need to start over and redo it. You just have to accept things the way they are and work from there. These people haven't done anything to deserve what you're trying to do to them. Sure they may do bad things but I did at one time as well and I've changed drastically since then.”

 

“Foolish Namek, you don't quite seem to understand that it isn't your choice. I'm the god here so I decide what people's fates are, I decide who dies and doesn't die. You are just a mere mortal so you wouldn't understand. The gods you have now have become soft and weak in their positions because of the foolish choices of my peers. I want to create a universe where its overseers can interact with its people without having to worry about interfering. All this crap about Kais not interfering is pointless. If things had been done my way to begin with this wouldn't be necessary.”

 

“That may be true, but just because things didn't go your way doesn't mean you have to punish everyone else for it. Doing that makes you into the bad guy that you seem to want to avoid being. Just because you're a god doesn't mean that you can't do wrong. I should know since I was once this planet's guardian.”

 

“You just don't understand do you? Look at how much power I gained when I was fighting Buu just from absorbing the darkness emanating from this one planet. Earth is relatively good compared to some of the other inhabited planets, yet I was able to gain enormous amounts of darkness from it. What does that tell you? What it should tell you is that there is an overwhelming amount of evil in this universe. That's exactly why I'm trying to do what I'm doing, to cleanse the universe of all this evil. It's gotten so bad that even the most pure of hearts contains at least some darkness. You call it yin and yang and say that one cannot exist without the other and that is true. However it is only true because of how far this universe has degraded over the millennia. The way you sentient species were created was flawed and thus you must be redone. Think of this not as a punishment but as a renewal. When I recreate the creatures of this universe I am going to limit the egotism that can exist so that what started this never happens again.”

 

“You say that as if you're going to succeed. You seem to be quite confident that you can beat us which means you underestimate us. Not a good thing.” Said Goku while shaking his index finger at him.

 

“We'll see. Just because you said that I'll make you a deal. I won't use any of my special powers like I did against Buu and if you win, I will admit you to be my better and stop my quest. If I win however I get to kill you and go on with my mission. What do you say? I'll even give you the bonus of allowing you all to fight me at once if you so desire.”

 

“Not that I trust you or anything but alright.” Said Goku while shrugging his shoulders. Yami smirked, his crimson eyes flaring up in excitement.

 

“Good. That makes it easier for me anyways since I can take you all on at once.”

 

“Alright everyone let's power up. Goten and Trunks, you know what to do. You two…” He said, pointing to Bardock and Radditz. “Are going to just stay here.”

 

“You've got to be kidding me!” Exclaimed Radditz. “You can't expect us to sit this out like cowards!”

 

“If you fight him you will die.” Goku said plainly. “This guy is way out of your league. You may have been strong in the past and I'm not saying you're not strong now, but this guy is more than a thousand times stronger than you. Even if you would be able to beat Frieza at his maximum you still wouldn't be able to scratch this guy. Just stay out of this and I can train you two to become much stronger when this is all over. How does that sound?”

 

“Fine, whatever.” Radditz said grudgingly.

 

“Can you train us to become super Saiyajins?” Bardock asked.

 

“Becoming a super Saiyajin isn't something you can be trained to become. You have to find the right motivation first and then you can be pushed into it, but until we know what emotional trigger you need then it'll be next to impossible.”

 

“I see. Very well, we shall stay out of this fight.” Bardock said, deep in thought.

 

“Good. Now that that's taken care of let's continue.” Goku tensed and brought his arms up to his sides and with a mighty roar and a flash transformed to super Saiyajin three. Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten followed suit with Vegeta going super Saiyajin two. Piccolo and Gohan then began to power up, causing the small breeze to become more like a hurricane. Yami yawned in boredom.

 

“Is that all? You think you can beat me with such insignificant powers? You couldn't even put up an effective fight against Majin Buu, what makes you think you could possibly defeat me?”

 

“We may fail or we may succeed, but either way we have to try. You're trying to destroy everything and everyone we've ever known and we can't just sit by and let you do that.”

 

“So you're going to just float there while I pound you back into the dust you were created from instead. How very…different.” Yami chuckled to himself.

 

“Go ahead and keep laughing. By the time we're done you won't have the energy to laugh.”

 

“Well then bring it on.” Yami got into a defensive stance and awaited the attack.

 

“Alright Goten, Trunks, fuse now!”

 

“Fuuuu…siiiooon…Ha!” With a flash there was one fighter where moments ago there were two. Gotenks quickly flashed into super Saiyajin three and was ready for battle.

 

“Alright then, let's get it on!” Gotenks said as he flew at Yami. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan did the same, all of them attacking Yami with everything they had.

 

“This is terrible!” Supreme Kai said as he watched the “fight”. “They haven't even landed one hit yet and they're giving it everything they have. Is there no way to stop him?”

 

“Of course there's a way.” Said Piccolo. “We just need to find some weakness we can exploit. We should get involved in this as well, even though we're so much weaker than them we could at least look for a weakness on him.” Leaving the Supreme Kai to make his own decision, Piccolo flew headlong into the mess of punching and kicking that was taking place. Supreme Kai just sighed before he too joined the fray. It was then that Yami decided to fight back. After dodging several punches and kicks, he flew up above everyone and fired an energy blast at them at the same time so that they would scatter.

 

“You are nothing but insects to me. Now it's time for you to die!” He put his fists at his sides and enveloped them both in black energy. He then slowly brought them together in front of them, merging the energy into one black sphere. He then pulled his fists apart, opening them as he did so until he was cupping the blast on both sides. He grunted in concentration as the blast grew in size until it was about the size of his head. He then brought it above his head and small black lightning bolts began sparking around it. “Now see if you can survive this! Kage Bakudan!” He brought his arms down to his sides and thrust them forward as if he were throwing a kamehameha wave. The blast flew forward, seeming to suck in all the light around it as it went. Goku was quick to react, bringing his arms to his side, Gohan and Gotenks were quick to follow.

 

“Kamehameha!” They shouted in unison as they merged their energy into one enormous wave. The two blasts met head on and they seemed to struggle for a moment but it didn't last long as the kamehameha was absorbed into the kage bakudan. It continued without slowing down as if nothing had happened. Vegeta flew in front of the attack and attempted to catch it, but when it came into contact with him it dissipated, seemingly doing nothing. Suddenly Vegeta clutched his head and began yelling in agony. He lost consciousness and began to plummet to the ground but Goku caught him and flew down before gently putting him down. He looked up at Yami and flew up to face him.

 

“What have you done to Vegeta?!” He demanded.

 

“Do you remember what I called that attack? I call it my kage bakudan, or shadow bomb. I mix a certain amount of negative energy and psionic energy and I can use it to manipulate people's minds. What the attack did to Vegeta was bring out the worst memories from the deepest shadows of his mind. Right now he's probably reliving some of the time that he was forced to work under Frieza. Of course my attack can do more than that. Depending on how much psionic energy I put into it I can do different things. I could, for instance, put more into it and use it to control someone's mind. It wouldn't be like what that idiot Babidi used, instead it would eliminate all free will and force the victim to do my bidding. What Babidi did was severely flawed in that it put a drain on him and his subjects could still disobey him, though it would be rather painful for them to do so. Of course that didn't stop Vegeta now did it?” He smirked. “In fact, that gives me an idea.” He disappeared and Goku looked down to see that he had appeared on the ground near Vegeta. He walked over to him and pointed his open palms at him. A strange red energy flowed from his hands and into Vegeta's body and he woke up. He stood up and turned to face Yami. He put his closed fist over his heart and looked down towards the ground. Goku could see Yami say something to Vegeta before he looked up at him and flew up to meet him.

 

“Vegeta?” Goku asked warily. Something didn't seem right about Vegeta. He merely smiled and laughed before flashing back to super saiyajin two. In a flash he had punched Goku in the face, causing him to fly back a few feet before he managed to stop himself. “What the? How is Vegeta putting out that much energy? He's even stronger than Gohan.” Goku thought to himself. Vegeta flew in for another attack and Goku found himself hard pressed to keep up. In fact, he couldn't block or dodge all of the attacks and many of them got through his defenses and all of them hurt.

 

“What's wrong with you Vegeta? Have you forgotten who's side you're on?” Vegeta merely kept up the assault and Yami flew up to watch.

 

“No doubt you've tried to talk to Vegeta by now and I'll tell you that it's a waste of time. Vegeta is not in control, he's still locked away in his bad memories. I've just brought out his subconscious and taken control of it. I'm the only one he'll listen to now. Of course you can try and contact him telepathically but I doubt you know how to communicate with someone's subconscious. Now, finish him off Vegeta.” Vegeta smirked and upped the pace even more. Even as a super saiyajin three Goku couldn't keep up and was getting pounded around like a rag doll. Gohan tried to intervene but was knocked back by Yami. “I'm afraid not Gohan. If you want to interrupt you'll have to go through me first.”

 

“Very well then. Prepare yourself.” Gohan got into an offensive stance and quickly struck out at Yami with a fist. Yami saw it coming and brushed it aside with his own fist and used his other fist to snap Gohan's head to the side. Gohan regained himself and tried a spin kick at Yami's side but his foot was grabbed and he was thrown towards the ground and pummeled by energy on the way down. He hit the ground hard but managed to get back to his feet after a few seconds. He overlapped his hands over his forehead and formed a yellow energy ball.

 

“Masenko Ha!” He thrust his hands forward and the blast sped towards Yami who just floated there. The blast came upon him and Yami put an open palm out in front of himself. When the attack hit his palm he caught it and charged it with his own energy before deflecting it right back at Gohan. Too shocked to move Gohan tried to cross his arms in front of himself to defend against the attack but it was too fast and he got hit with its full force which was at least twice as strong as when he originally fired it. He screamed in agony and fell unconscious.

 

“Do you see now?” Yami laughed. “Your mightiest warrior has fallen before me as though he were nothing. At this rate it won't be long and I won't have any more pests to deal with. Once I'm done with you I'll start my work on Planet Earth. With you saiyajins out of the way no one will ever be able to challenge my power!” He began to laugh maniacally and Piccolo and Shin, who were nearby nodded at each other. Piccolo brought two fingers to his forehead and began to concentrate. His fingers sparked with energy and after about five minutes of charging he thrust them forward.

 

“Special beam cannon!” He shouted and two energy beams shot out of his fingertips. The spiral blast struck Yami square in the chest and ripped right through him. He looked down at the hole in his chest and laughed.

 

“Well done Piccolo. You've actually managed to damage me. Not that it'll do you any good.” He began to concentrate and the hole quickly closed up. “Now…” He smirked. “it's my turn.” He cupped his right hand at his side and formed a yellow energy sphere in it. He smirked. “Try this on for size!” He exclaimed as he thrust it forward and the blast flew at Piccolo. He managed to dodge to the side but not near quick enough and the blast took off his left arm at the shoulder. He cried out in agony and clutched his stump of a shoulder. Shin put his hand on Piccolo and they disappeared and reappeared next to Gohan. Piccolo picked him up and they once again disappeared. Yami turned to see how Vegeta was doing against Goku to see that Piccolo, Shin, and Gohan had appeared there. Shin let out a yell and knocked Vegeta back with a psionic blast. He then grabbed ahold of Goku with his free hand and they teleported away. Vegeta began to frantically search for Goku but Yami calmed him.

 

“Don't worry, they'll be back and when they get here you'll get your fight. Yes, you'll get your chance at revenge for your broken pride.” Yami smirked. “And when you get your revenge, it will mark the beginning of a new age, an age of purity. Of course we might as well deal with the humans now.” Yami raised an open palm above his head and a bright light exploded out from it. In that very instant the entire population of animal life on the planet Earth ceased to exist in the living dimension. All that was left now was the plant life. “After we finish with the living we shall then go to otherworld and erase that as well. There shall be no trace that the original creation ever existed. For now we must wait though. We must wait for those fools to devise a plan that will ultimately fail and when it fails they shall realize the true horror of defying me!”

 

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. I've just been so absorbed in writing Despair that I ran out of ideas for this story for awhile. Anyways, please R&R.
