Vegetasei’s Influence Chapter Three

Raditsu aimed for Okami’s head while Goku aimed for his stomach. Both had their hands raised in fists ready to strike. Okami just stood there until their fists were mere centimeters away from him. Then faster then any of them could see Okami had them by their arms. “You have to try better than that.” Okami said as he threw both brothers into each other a few feet away. Then before they could recover, he was on them. He kicked them into the air and then shot multiple ki blasts after them.

Raditsu recovered first in time to doge most of the on coming attacks. Goku wasn’t so lucky. Raditsu immediately charged at Okami this time though, as he grew closer he fazed out and reappeared behind him. Raditsu raised his hand and preformed his Double Sunday technique. Goku fully recovered by then joined in the attack. Okami managed to doge Raditsu”s attack, but Goku’s managed to catch him in the back.

As Okami turned, it was apparent that all the attack did was piss him off. Piccolo was watching the whole thing from a distance. As they had planned, he was busy charging up his attack. Piccolo could only hope that the two seiyajin could hold out long enough. As he thought, that Raditsu went sailing past him. Okami had grabbed him in his rage and totally ravaged him.

Raditsu got shakily to his feet. He spat out blood, and then rushed at Okami once more. No one treated him that way. With a burst of speed, he was on Okami. Surprised, because he hadn’t thought that Raditsu would recover so quickly, Okami was caught off guard by the assault. Thanks to Raditsu’s charge Goku, who was being pummeled at the time, managed to join in. The two seiyajin seemed to have perfect synchronism. When one hit high the other hit low. When one hit right the other hit left. Okami was having a hard time blocking them both he always managed to block just one.

Goku came at him with a faint to the left, but unlike Okami predicted it was Raditsu who hit him right giving Goku the chance to get him in the stomach. Goku hit him with all the strength he had, he was going to make Okami pay. Raditsu was half way proud of his brother, even if he thought Goku could do better. Neither of them could deny that they worked well together.

Okami had had enough of getting beat on. There had to be a way for him to gain the upper hand again. As Raditsu came at him with Goku not far behind him, Okami raised his hand and managed to hit Raditsu with a ki blast. Then knowing that he had to act quickly, he rushed forward and grabbed Goku in a huge bear hug, though this hug was a deadly one. Okami then began to squeeze the life out of Goku.

Gohan had been watching the whole thing from the space pod. He had been terrified when the fighting had started. He had been crying when Okami had been beating his dad and uncle senseless. However, when they had turned the table he had been dancing around the pod in pure joy. He had thought they had had a chance to win. Now, as his dad was being crushed to death, he was hysterical. He was banging the glass and screaming for Okami to let Goku go.

Raditsu got to his feet in time to see Okami grab Goku. He looked over at Piccolo, who gave him a sign that he was nearly done charging his attack. Raditsu nodded in understanding and took of to aid Goku. Okami saw Raditsu approach. He waited for Raditsu to get close to him than he fired a ki blast over Goku’s head and straight into Raditsu’s face. Raditsu saw it coming at the last second and managed to cover his face. He fell on his back a couple of feet away from Okami and Goku. He was unable to move for the agony.

Okami shortened the distance in no time and placed his foot on Raditsu’s chest. “Here, I believe that brothers who fight well together should die together.” He said laughing. The fight had been a good one as he had hoped it would. However, now it was time to end it. They were too much of a nuisance to leave alive for much longer. Okami put more pressure on both brothers. Their screams of pain where like music to his ears. All of a sudden, both his and Raditsu’s scouters were reacting to a phenomenal power.

Piccolo could not believe this was happening not when they had been so close. All he would have needed was a few more minutes and he would have had his attack at full power. Now without Goku and Raditsu he had no chance of killing Okami, and while he was charging the attack, he couldn’t help either of them without sacrificing it. Then they would have too wait for him to charge it up again. Goku and Raditsu would not survive long enough for him to do it again and Okami might start coming after him as well. No matter how he looked at it, they were screwed. Piccolo was about to go save the two and prolong their inevitable deaths, when he sensed it.

Raditsu could feel as every one of his ribs began to break. He was losing all hope and consciousness. His hands were clenched around Okami’s ankle trying to lift it off to no avail. Raditsu could hear his own screams and he couldn’t believe such a sound could come from him. He then became vaguely aware that his scouter was trying to tell him something. The pain was so intense though, he couldn’t make out exactly what.

Goku could swear that he could hear his bones cracking as they snapped. He was in some much pain that parts of his body had begun to go numb. All he could think about was the world he was letting down. The terror that would soon be upon it. He thought of his friends, Kuririn, Bulma, and the Muten Roshi. He thought of his wife, Chi Chi, who would worry herself to death when Goku and Gohan never came home. He thought of how she would cry when she found out what had become of them. He thought of Gohan who was trapped in the space pod watching him die. He thought of what Okami was going to do to the boy and cursed him to hell for it. Suddenly through the fog of pain, numbness, and his own thoughts, Goku felt a huge power source erupt out of seemingly nowhere. He concentrated on the power as best he could and realized it was coming from Gohan’s direction. “Gohan?” he managed to whisper.

Gradually and quickly, Gohan’s fear had changed to anger. He was not going to let this evil man hurt his daddy. Before he knew what was happening, anger had consumed him. Everything seemed to be shaded in red. All he could think about was hurting Okami. Before he could stop himself, he had jettisoned himself from the ship. He had blown straight through the roof. He was so consumed that he didn’t realize that he was flying head first into Okami’s side.

Okami heard Goku say Gohan’s name. ‘It couldn’t be that brat again, could it?’ he thought to himself. He turned his head just in time to see Gohan burst out the top of his pod. With it pointed directly at Gohan, Okami’s scouter was able to pick up his exact power level. Okami was stunned to find that the boy’s power level was higher then Raditsu’s was at his full strength. Okami realized too late what Gohan’s target was.

Piccolo watched in total shock as Gohan rammed straight into Okami’s side. He couldn’t believe his eyes or his ki sense. According to it Goku’s brat was stronger then he, himself was. Piccolo’s shock turned to pure awe as Okami’s armor shattered around the impact point. Neither of the two grown seiyajin had been able to do that. Under the armor, a huge bruise was visible.

Gohan had hit Okami so hard that not only was he injured, but he was also pushed off Raditsu and forced to let go of Goku. Goku fell on he’s hands and knees trying to recover quickly. He could not believe Gohan had done that. He had never shown any sign of an abnormal power level. Goku looked up and fear consumed him.

Raditsu wasn’t aware of what had happened all he knew was that Okami was no longer standing on him. He rolled on to his side, so he could recover. As oxygen came back to him, he could think clearly once again. He checked his scouter just as the power level faded back to a weak one. He sat up and quickly pieced everything together. Judging by the hole in Okami’s ship Gohan had busted out and attacked him. Which is why Okami was on the ground clutching his side with Gohan only a foot or so away. Gohan looked dazed and a bit unaware of what he had just done. Raditsu glanced over at Piccolo. Piccolo gave him the sign that it was ready. Raditsu began to charge up his attack and was about to yell for Goku, when he noticed what Okami was up to.

Okami was furious. How dare this low-level, half-breed, insignificant, monkey hurt him so severely? The brat had crossed a line and now he was going to pay the price. Okami didn’t care that he was supposed to take him back to Samuisei for studying. He went over to the confused boy, who started to back away in fear. Okami hit the child hard once in the head knocking him out. He raised his arm once more to finish Gohan off when someone, he hadn’t noticed, came from behind and grabbed him in a bear hug similar to what he had done to Goku.

Goku had jumped up from where he had been kneeling and grabbed Okami from behind. He had Okami in the same hold he had been caught in. “You won’t hurt my son or anyone else on this planet as long as I can help it.” Goku snarled. He looked over at his unconscious son and resolution filled him. He knew what he had to do. He looked to see if Piccolo and Raditsu were ready. “Do it now!” Goku shouted to them.

Raditsu readied his attack. Piccolo did the same. With little hesitation, they launched their attacks. “Double Sunday!” “Makankosappo!” Both attacks hit their targets with perfect accuracy. First to hit was the Double Sunday attack, then the Makankosappo finished it by drilling through one and then through the other. Both warriors fell to the ground with mortal wounds and no hope of surviving.

As he hit the ground, Goku knew that it was over, but as his soul left his body, he was content with the thought that his family and Chikyuusei were safe. Okami being stronger then Goku didn’t die instantly. He lay there laughing about how he managed to take one of them down with him, as his life drained away. “Humph, that’s what you think, but in the end it is Goku who has won. You see he is dead today, but by tomorrow his friends will have wished him back using the Dragonballs.” Piccolo said smugly. “What are you talking about?” Okami snarled. “Simply that this planet has a magic reset button. They’re these seven Dragonballs, which can grant any wish. That includes the wish to bring someone back to life if they didn’t die of natural causes.” Piccolo explained. He didn’t see any problem in telling Okami about it because he was about to die. What happened next never crossed his mind.

Okami began to laugh hysterically. “Fool! You see this scouter on my head. It doesn’t just tell me the power level of my opponents; it also doubles as a communicator. Right now two of my comrades, who are far stronger then I, are listening to everything you have just said. They will be here in about one of your years to get those Dragonballs and wish me back to life.” With that, Okami, the wolf, died laughing.

Just as he died, Raditsu came over carrying the unconscious Gohan. “You couldn’t keep your mouth shut?” He said in a not too nice tone of voice. With very little ceremony, Raditsu dropped Gohan into Piccolo’s arms. “Train him. I would do it myself, but Okami wrecked the communication systems in my ship and my scouter’s is worthless thanks to the thrashing I got. So now I’ll have to go out into space and get back up myself.” Raditsu explained. Piccolo didn’t mind. He had had thoughts already about wanting to train the boy after his little stunt.

Just then, an aircraft came down not to far from them. Out of it came Bulma, the Muten Roshi, and Kuririn. They rushed over and stopped in their tracks when the scene before them became clear. “Oh, Goku!” Bulma whispered before falling to her knees. Tears were falling unchecked from her eyes. She couldn’t believe that this could be his fate. “Stop crying wench. Remember you can wish him back.” Raditsu said stiffly.

“Hey, Piccolo where are you taking Gohan?” Kuririn asked as he noticed the Namekseijin take off into the air with the boy under one arm. “There are two more guys coming to earth stronger then this one. Gohan showed great potential today. With a year’s worth of training he might become useful in the next battle.” With that said Piccolo took off. “I’m going to go get help from Vegetasei. I’ll be back for the fight.” Without further to do Raditsu got into his space pod and took off for outer space.

The Muten Roshi who was preparing a capsule coffin for Goku let out an exclamation when all of a sudden Goku’s body disappeared. “Looks like Kami-sama has something in store for Goku.” the Muten Roshi explained calming down a bit. “I’ll start calling all the other Z senshi and inform them about what’s been going on. Then tomorrow we can start tracking down the Dragonballs. Kuririn you can tell Chi Chi what happened.” Bulma said getting back into the aircar. “What?! Bulma wait a minute!” Kuririn yelled chasing after her. Chi Chi was going to kill him when he tells her the news.
