Destiny's Light: *irritated* Sometimes I don't get reviewers. They review almost every time and then they stop. Did they don't like it or something? Still… they could have reviewed and said anything, including negative stuff. Grrr…

Gohan: Whoa! Just chill!

Destiny's Light: *stays calm* I know. I do not dislike the reviews that I have received, since I never expected to get any. I just wish they would review and say something about the story. That's enough of my rambling about that. Enjoy this chapter!

SSAW?!: Ch23

Three figures landed in the middle of an empty plain. Not a living soul appeared to live on it. The green grass rippled like a wave as the wind blew across.

"So we're back on this cursed planet. How can we find her?" Jasmine asked.

"That's easy. Let her and her friends come to us like they did last time." Gabriel responded.

Vulcan remained silent because something had triggered his own senses. Something that seemed familiar to him… *This feeling feels familiar to me, why? Wait…could it be? WHAT?!*

"HOW CAN THEY BE HERE?!!" Vulcan yelled suddenly.

At the same time, Irene and Robert felt a presence that seemed familiar to them as well.

{Why is this presence familiar Robert?}

{I don't know Irene. Wait…concentrate harder on the presence.}

The king and queen of Dalmor focused harder on the presence and then they gasped.

"I-It can't be him…it just can't be…" Irene spoke out loud.

"How dare that son of a bitch show his face after all of this time!!" Robert exclaimed loudly.

All conversations halted at the sudden outbursts of Irene and Robert.

"Who are you talking about?" Destiny asked.

Irene's brown eyes darkened as she tried to remain calm. "Vulcan's here." she only said.

"W-What? Him? Why on earth would he be here?" Krillin said.

"How particular. Vulcan is the one who hurt Katherine in the beginning. However, he doesn't know that somebody else has captured Katherine. His presence seems out of place." Callista spoke.

"Is there anyone else with him do you suppose?" Eighteen inquired.

"Good question. Let me check." Destiny answered.

The female goddess of Dalmor closed her eyes to find Vulcan's presence. Finding his presence took a while, but she found it. Next Destiny focused on any presences near him. Two distinct presences were near him and they were familiar… *What the hell is going on here?! How can they be here!?* Her sea-green eyes opened to reveal their shock.

"I can't believe this! There are two other people with Vulcan. Want to guess who they are?" Destiny exclaimed.

"Hmm…the possible people I could think would be Gabriel and Jasmine?" Bulma supplied.

"Bingo! That is exactly correct." Destiny replied.

"No way! Isn't Jasmine supposed to be injured?" Goku exclaimed.

"Yeah, besides they came here on a ship. How did they manage to get here without one?" Selene spoke.

"Isn't it obvious? Somehow they know a version of Instant Transmission or a similar means." Vegeta spoke up.

"Strange. I know for a fact their race doesn't have the ability to use Instant Transmission." Robert said.

"You're telling me that Gabriel and Jasmine are not humans?" Krillin said.

"Not exactly. They belong to a warrior race. This race uses a human form to conceal their true power." Irene responded.

"I bet that Gabriel and Jasmine must have thought Katherine was not very strong, that's why Jasmine got so hurt. In addition, they figured they did not need their true forms to defeat Katherine, so they stuck to their human selves. Otherwise who knows what would have happened if they showed their true power then." Selene said.

"Then we should see why they are here." Callista suggested.

"Then what are we waiting for then!!" Chichi exclaimed.

The Z-Fighters consisting of Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Eighteen, Jasper, Selene, Chichi, Goten, and Trunks headed after Robert and Irene, who knew Vulcan's presence better then they did. Marron watched her mom and dad go off and she waved. Destiny left to gather the remaining Z-Fighters and Callista followed last. Bulma sighed softly as she watched everyone leave. *It would be nice if I could sense everyone's presence…*

"So Vulcan shows himself after all of this time. Immortal or not he will die." Kat hissed.

"This is guy is immortal?! How do you know him? What about the other two?" Videl inquired.

Kat fixed her cold sapphire gaze upon Videl. "His name is Vulcan. He is the one that injured me in the very beginning. For the other two they are Gabriel and Jasmine. Gabriel is my 'supposed' future husband, but he is having an affair with that woman Jasmine. Jasmine is his second-in-command. I commend Jasmine on her quick recovery." Kat answered coldly.

"Interesting." Mars only said. His demon eyes spotted the approaching figures of the saiyans and their friends. "Well it looks those saiyans plan to have a battle with those three." he spoke.

Gohan saw the other Z-Fighters in the pool. "I'd say we should jump in to help these fools if they start losing to the Jasmine, Vulcan, and Gabriel. What do you say Kat?" Gohan stated.

"We can." Kat replied.

Jasmine and Gabriel wore confused looks as Vulcan blurted out something.

"Vulcan, what's wrong?" Gabriel asked, worried.

Vulcan gritted his teeth to remain calm. "The cursed parents of Katherine are here on Earth." he said.

"WHAT?!" Jasmine shouted.

"That's right Jasmine. I can't believe you did that." Irene's voice rang out as the Z-Fighters landed before the trio.

Gabriel found everyone glaring at him and Jasmine.

"I see everyone is here again. Where is Katherine?" Gabriel spoke.

"That is no business of yours Gabriel! How could you have an affair with Jasmine when you were engaged to my daughter?!" Robert declared coldly.

Both Jasmine and Gabriel's faces paled.

"How did you know that?! No one knew!!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Are you forgetting something Gabriel? Someone knows about this." Jasper stated.

"I am not forgetting anything Harding! So do tell me who knows about this affair." Gabriel responded.

The male ancient saiyan from Dalmor formed a smirk on his lips. "That's easy. Kat told us." Jasper answered.

At first, Gabriel scoffed at him, then he really started thinking. *How could she know? We made sure we did it in secluded areas…unless…dammit! I ignored her change in attitude towards me after that one day after Jasmine and I…*

"That would explain her cold attitude towards me. " Gabriel said.

Vulcan just watched the scene unfold. He was surprised to find out Kat knew all along they were having an affair together. *Ah, what brilliant talent Katherine had to fool Gabriel that she did not know about it. So where is she?*

"Where is your lovely daughter?" Vulcan inquired.

That comment sparked Irene to turn SSJ. "Enough talk Vulcan. I think it is time to finish you off once for all. And you." Irene directed her cold gaze on Jasmine and Gabriel. "Don't worry; we will make sure you two are banned from Dalmor. Just think of it as payback for your deception on my daughter." Irene threatened.

"Fine. Let us begin." Gabriel said.

He and Jasmine pulled out their staffs, then they started to glow. In their place stood two warriors.

"Wow! They are revealing their true power! Goten! Trunks! Do it now!" Goku exclaimed.

The two boys nodded and placed their palms together. "Fusion of Light!" they both cried. A blinding light revealed Gotenks.

Vulcan simply watched as the Z-Fighters dropped in their fighting stances. "We should knock out the weaker ones out first, so we can battle with the stronger ones unopposed." he suggested.

"Alright, that sounds like a plan." Jasmine said.

"I hope you don't mind if Selene and I join you in fighting Vulcan?" Jasper said.

"Your help would be wonderful." Irene spoke.

Selene and Jasper nodded to each other. They now stood next to Robert and Irene. Callista simply watched them carefully.

The trio of enemies would decide which ones that they knocked out first. However, before any of them could begin their assault, Destiny appeared with the rest of the Z-Fighters. "Well there seems to be seventeen of you and only three of us. Now how unfair is that?" Gabriel said.

"We're not stupid as you may think Gabriel. You three have hidden your powers to attack us. Now show us your full power!" Jasper stated.

"Alright. If that is how you want it, then prepare to lose!" Vulcan spoke coldly.

Signaling Gabriel and Jasmine, they attacked.

Gohan saw how the Z-Fighters split into teams to take on the three. Selene and Irene split from Jasper and Robert to take on Gabriel with Chichi and Goku. Robert and Jasper joined up with Krillin and Eighteen to take on Jasmine. That left eight to deal with Vulcan. He saw how Vulcan didn't seem to mind taking on eight people and a smirk appeared on Vulcan's lips. "Should we really wait for these three to beat up sixteen people? I mean the Z-Fighters outnumber them, 16:3." Gohan muttered.

Kat turned her attention away from the pool to look at Gohan. "You have a point Gohan, but I want to surprise them all." she answered.

"Don't worry we will." Mars said.

Vulcan had been determining in his head which ones of the eight were weak. *Those two women are strong, I can tell just by looking at them. Including that kid with purple and black spiky hair and the man with tall spiky black hair. Now those three humans are not as strong as these four. The green guy in the white turban can't be determined; I can't get a decent reading on the guy. So three people to knock out? Sounds like fun.* The demonoid raised his right palm.

"Perhaps I should show you how I injured Katherine." Vulcan spoke.

"I don't like that attitude of his" Yamcha muttered.

"I'm not scared of this guy! He should be a piece of cake!" Gotenks declared.

"Gotenks don't be too sure about that." Piccolo stated.

"Whatever." Gotenks replied.

Yamcha watched gather energy in his palm and then he vanished. "W-Where did he go?" Yamcha muttered. Suddenly he heard two cries. He turned his attention to find that Tien and Chouzo had fallen to the ground. Vulcan chuckled softly.

"That was easy. Now for you." Vulcan spoke, referring to Yamcha.

Yamcha made an attempt to move away, but Vulcan knocked him out with a blast.

Piccolo saw how Vulcan had targeted them first without much thought. *It appears he is taking out the weaker ones first, which mean the humans. If this is true, then Chichi, Krillin, Eighteen, and Selene will be in trouble.* He looked to see that Destiny simply nodded her head at him, Callista, Vegeta, and Gotenks to let them know they will be alright. Vegeta had a suspicion that Vulcan did this on purpose and for that, he turned SSJ.

"Stop wasting your time and fight!" Vegeta said fiercely.

"You amuse me saiyan. Have it your way." Vulcan answered, attacking.

Gabriel simply watched as his four attackers stood before him.

"Irene, it's a pleasure to see you. As for the three of you, I have no idea who you are." Gabriel spoke.

"Likewise Gabriel." Irene muttered under her breath.

"Don't try to be nice, you're the one that had the affair with Jasmine." Chichi scoffed at him.

"So where is Katherine?" Gabriel inquired again.

"You don't deserve to know Gabriel! By the way, you may call me Selene. Now eat this!!!" Selene snapped and gave an uppercut to Gabriel's jaw.

The prince of Gallindore flinched and rubbed his jaw. He flashed a glare at her.

"Not bad…Selene. How do you know---?

"That's enough talking! We are here to fight you and not to talk." Goku stated firmly.

"Ready?" Irene asked. She got three nods. They launched their attack.

Jasmine stood there smirking at her attackers.

"What's so funny Jasmine? After we're done with you, you won't be smiling!" Jasper exclaimed.

"Perhaps. Or maybe you four will be going down…" Jasmine responded.

Eighteen had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind and she stared at Jasmine with cold blue eyes.

"Are you going to attack us or what?" the blonde android asked coldly.

"Since you put it that way…" Jasmine replied, as she attacked.

The group on Mars's planet watched as the battle progressed. It was as Gohan had predicted. Vulcan, Jasmine, Gabriel showed their true power and pounded the weaker ones out of the fight. Goku, Irene, and Selene were left to fight with Gabriel. Despite Goku's efforts to protect his wife, Chichi was knocked unconscious. Against Jasmine, the group had discovered her 'new abilities' the hard way. Krillin had been knocked out and Eighteen summoned new strength she did not know she had and managed to stay in the fight. Jasper and Robert were still in too. Against Vulcan, Vulcan had Piccolo knocked out. Callista and Destiny kept Gotenks healed and they still remained in battle with the immortal demonoid.

"So that leaves only ten. It's still enough to take them on, but probably not for long." Gohan spoke. Kat, who remained silent as she observed Jasper and Selene maintain their status in the battle. She hoped that more of them would fall, so they could join the battle. Videl wore a smug look as she watched the battle. *Hehehehe…* Mars knew it was not time yet to join the battle, something would have to occur first.

Their enemies allowed them to re-group. The remaining members of the Z-Fighters gathered to figure out their game plan.

"Something isn't right guys. Vulcan is hiding his power; he hasn't used his full power yet. As for those two, they have something up their sleeve." Goku said.

"Then you're not the only one to think that. I too had my doubts about them." Selene stated.

"I'm getting a bad vibe that something else will happen." Callista said.

"We must protect whose left and prevent them from knocking out any more of us. If our numbers go down too low, they could wipe us out." Irene declared.

"Of course. Callista and I will our best to protect you." Destiny replied.

"Vulcan? I have an idea." Gabriel stated.

"What is it?" Vulcan responded.

"How about Jasmine and I combine a blast with one of yours, so that we can injure the rest." Gabriel answered.

Vulcan pondered the suggested idea for a moment before smiling.

"Very well. I'm tired of playing with them." Vulcan replied.

"They won't know what hit them!" Jasmine laughed.

Goku and the others faced their opponents once again and noticed how they stand in a row.

"What are they doing now?!" Jasper exclaimed.

"I'm not sure Jasper." Selene replied.

"They're planning to attack you bakas." Vegeta growled, crossing his arms.

"WHAT?!" Gotenks cried.

*That's right we're going to attack.* Jasmine thought. She raised her staff along with Gabriel's and they started to power to max. Their staffs gathered purple and blue energy. Their energy formed two beams and continued to grow.

"Get ready Destiny." Callista warned, preparing to put up a shield.

"Don't even bother." Vulcan's voice said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asked.

The demonoid simply laughed at the question and raised his hand. Dark red energy gathered in his palm and then it shot as a beam to join with the two other beams. Before everyone's eyes, the three beams joined to form one huge beam. The huge beam apparently was aiming for them!

"Dammit! Everyone! Defend yourself!!" Goku yelled as he prepared to defend himself. Destiny summoned a shield to shield everyone and Callista sent her power to strengthen it.

*Fools…That shield will not hold against this blast. They will find out why…* Vulcan thought. The trio sent more power to the beam. A giant flash occurred as the blast struck the shield. The shield appeared to hold the beam off. Destiny and Callista struggled to maintain the shield. Selene threw a nervous glance at the two women. She knew they couldn't hold the shield for much longer. Her emerald eyes stared at the blast that seemed to be their demise.

"Kat, Gohan…please forgive me…" Selene whispered as the shield shattered into a million pieces. There was a blinding flash and that's all she knew…

A huge dust cloud hovered where the blast hit the Z-Fighters. As it cleared Jasmine, Gabriel, Vulcan started walking to confirm their demise. When the dust cleared completely, they saw the remaining Z-Fighters on the ground. At first, no one moved, but the figures of Goku, Selene, and Vegeta stirred slightly.

"Well, it looks like they did survive after all." Jasmine muttered coldly.

"Too bad for them." Gabriel laughed.

Vulcan, Gabriel, and Jasmine slowly approached the injured Z-Fighters.

Anger swelled inside Kat for no reason and she growled loudly.

"Cursed bastards." Kat swore and vanished.

"Kat!" Gohan cried as he vanished, following her ki signature.

"It seems this is our chance Videl." Mars stated, following suit.

Videl took one last look in the pool and vanished.

Vegeta felt like crap. He knew he had numerous burns and such. He looked up to spot the approaching figures of their enemies.

"So you have come to finish us off? I'd like to see you try." Vegeta scoffed.

"Don't worry we will. Once we do that, we can start looking for Katherine." Gabriel spoke.

"Oh, you don't need to look far Gabriel." the familiar voice of Katherine rang out.

Selene shifted her eyes to spot two figures approaching. Her eyes widened as she recognized them to be Gohan and Katherine. But something to be different about them. *Their eyes are much darker then before and so are their kis… What is going on?*

Gabriel narrowed his eyes as he saw Kat and the male teenager approach them. He noticed their change of attire.

"What's up with your attire? Decide to mock me or something?" Gabriel scoffed.

The ancient saiyan just laughed at his question.

"I see that you three have managed to take down the Z-Fighters. I commend on your victory." Kat responded coldly.

Jasmine, confused as to why Kat seemed to be congratulating them on their victory. *What is going on?! She's supposed to be pissed that we hurt everyone! And what is up with her eyes? They seem so much darker…*

Gohan saw Jasmine's confused look on her face and noticed how silent Vulcan seemed to be.

"So you're the immortal one that Kat told me about. It will be my pleasure to take you down." Gohan stated coldly.

Vulcan's eyes changed and he smiled amusingly.

"So you know my secret…saiyan. Too bad you won't be around much longer." Vulcan answered.

"Oh, really? Gohan, let's show him our true power!" Kat declared.

Gohan and Kat approached each other and placed their palms in the certain way and a bright flash engulfed them. Goku's eyes widened in horror.

"Nooo…they're under darkness's control! And we can't do anything!" Goku exclaimed softly.

When the light faded, Vegeta, Goku, and Selene's eyes widened. Standing before everyone was not Kahn. In fact, it looked more like a female…

"What the…?! Who the hell is that!?" Gabriel swore out loud.

The new fusion smirked coldly at the figures of Vulcan, Jasmine, and Gabriel.

"I am Gohta and your worst nightmare."

*********************************************************************** ***************************************************

Wow! I ended up writing this idea instead of the other idea I had. It looks like the Z-Fighters are alive, but not capable of fighting. Have Vulcan, Jasmine, and Gabriel met their demise, now that they have met the new fusion between Kat and Gohan? Only time will tell. What about Mars and Videl? Will they have a say too? Read Chapter 24 to find out. Read and review please!
