He hurtled towards the ground. Pain ripped through his body. How was this possible? How was it possible that the son of the Saiyan Prince could be thrown around like this?

"Goten?" He called out. "Are you okay?"

His response was a small groan from the prone figure lying merely a few feet away from him. Trunks stared back up into the sky. The giant who had done this to them was over ten feet tall. He was smiling at them. Trunks realized that their only hope to mount a counterattack was to fuse together and form Gotenks.

"C'mon Goten," Trunks mumbled. "we gotta fuse quick!" The giant merely laughed. He spread his hands wide and a great ball of power began to from.

"GALIK GUN!"

"MASENKO-HA!"

"KAME-HAME-HA!"

The three attacks collided into the giant monster. The resulting explosion blinded both boys momentarily. However, when they looked back towards their monster of an enemy they were stunned speechless.

He remained standing without a scratch. His face wore a terrible smile and he laughed.

"Fools," he roared. "You are nothing!" His hands spread wide and a constant stream of power hurled itself forward. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan barely managed to dodge around it. Goten and Trunks however, weren't so lucky. The explosion of power tore its way skyward in a brilliant display of fire.

"No," Goku yelled. He quickly checked on the power level of the boys. They were alive, but only barely. "Gohan go make sure the boys are okay," he ordered. "Vegeta: you and me are going to make sure this monster doesn't hurt anyone else." Gohan disappeared from view and reappeared by his fallen brother.

"Kakarotto," Vegeta began. "Don't think-even for an instant-that you can order me around."

"Vegeta can't you see beyond your pride for once?" Goku asked. "We need to work together if we want to stop this thing. We don't know how strong this thing really is. It could very well be even stronger than Buu!"

"I wasn't planning on taking him alone, you numbskull!" Vegeta snarled. "I'm just warning you not to get used to ordering me around!"

"Dad, Vegeta," Gohan yelled. "LOOK OUT!"

The monster had taken advantage of the distracted Saiyans and attacked. His massive fists crashed into both Goku and Vegeta who were then sent flying. They stopped and quickly ascended to level two before the monster could reach them. They rushed at him, but the monster retaliated with a double clothesline, then turned and blasted them into the ground.

"MASENKO-HA!" Gohan yelled. He had powered up to level two as well. The behemoth however merely swatted the oncoming attack away and charged towards Gohan. He was stopped however, by a flying kick from a Super Saiyan three Goku. The two began a one on one battle, and it appeared that they were even until the great monster landed a crushing blow to Goku's midsection. He then grabbed the torso of the stunned Saiyan in his giant hand and flew downward; crushing Goku into the ground. Then, with his hand still wrapped around Goku's body he sneered and unleashed a ferocious blast of energy. He stood and turned towards Gohan, leaving Goku's no longer Super Saiyan, beaten, and unconscious body behind him.

A howl of pain was heard from Vegeta as he was thrown to the ground. Gohan stared in shock at the cloaked figure that stood over the Saiyan Prince. With its giant scythe and black cloak, it looked like Death itself had come for them.

Vegeta wasn't down for good though. He sprang back up and fired volley after volley of energy blasts at the figure. When the blasts subsided, the figure was nowhere to be seen. Vegeta smiled proudly, but from his shadow, the death-creature rematerialized. It placed a single hand to the Prince's back, and let loose an enormous amount of dark energy that coursed through Vegeta and exploded outwards. Vegeta returned to his normal form and fell unconscious on his face.

"Damn," Gohan cursed. "This is not good." He dropped to the ground an placed himself between his fallen comrades and his new enemies. He closed his eyes in concentration as small bolts of lightning danced across his body and then let out an almost animalistic roar as he reached deep within himself for his greatest power.

And there-before the champion of the demons: the great phoenix Corona who still sneered evilly, and the demon assassin: the reaper Dakkal who watched the Saiyan with curiosity-stood Gohan in his Mystic form.

"Let's do this."
