DRAGONBALL Z: LEGEND of the HIGHER DRAGON By L. Curtis Totty "I'm sensing two incredibly strong energy signatures on this planet. Could it be? Hai! I've managed to hit four birds with one stone in Planet Earth," thought Avisha. "Once I reach Planet Earth, I'll be able to get on with all of my plans!" "Gohan!" called Chi-Chi. "Oh dear. He had better not be with that filthy dragon! Oh my! What if he's with Piccolo?!" Chi-Chi walked worriedly back into her house. "Wow!" thought Son Gokou. "So the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides!" "Gokou?" asked Chi-Chi. Gokou quickly put away his eight-year-old son's schoolbook and started to do push-ups. "Gokou, why are you exercising in Gohan's bedroom?" "Huh?" asked Gokou. "Oh! Well, the thing is…" "Gokou, I can't find Gohan anywhere. Would you please go find him?" asked Chi-Chi. "Yes, Dear," said Gokou as he quickly rushed out of the house. Chi-Chi watched her husband leave and summon the Kintoun. "Looks to me like I have two juvenile delinquents now," she muttered. "Now, it's time to begin," said Avisha. "I now have all seven Dragonballs! But before I make my wish…" Avisha took a small case out of her pocket. She opened it up and took out three small seeds. She planted each one in the ground and poured a viscous, green liquid over them. Within moments, three huge flowers sprouted out of the ground. Each one must have been seven feet tall. "Now, my ultimate creations are born," said Avisha, excitedly. "Wake up, my Super Saibamen!" Those three huge buds suddenly opened up, and inside were three humanlike men. These Super Saibamen were very different from any average Saibamen. Instead of looking like a bunch of little green Martians, they looked like a normal humanoid race. They all had green hair, and they each wore green and black armor. They looked like humans that had taken Saibaman skin and put it on their own backs. The first Super Saibaman was very tall and thin. He was at least eight feet, and his hair was long and wild. His hair looked like a green version of Super Saiyajin Level 3. "I think I'll call you Skye," said Avisha. The next Super Saibaman was about a foot shorter, and his hair was pulled back to form a long, braided ponytail that went down to the back of his knee. Skye's hair only went down to his waist. Skye was much more muscular than the other Super Saibamen. "Your name is Warlord," said Avisha. The last Super Saibaman was only six feet tall, and his hair was shoulder-length. His face had youth in it, while the others' faces were aged. He had very little muscle tone, but when you're a Saibamen, do you really need any? "You will be called Trapper," said Avisha. Avisha gathered her seven Dragonballs together. They glowed with the awesome potential waiting inside. "SHENLON, THE ETERNAL DRAGON! RISE FROM YOUR SLUMBER AND GRANT MY REQUEST," shouted Avisha. An incredible energy began to emanate from the Dragonballs. The sky above turned from its peaceful blue to a cloudy black. A gigantic bolt of lightning attacked from the heavens and struck the Dragonballs. A large, yellow flash of light came from the Dragonballs. Avisha and her Super Saibamen covered their eyes. Soon, it felt safe to lower their defenses. That was the moment they heard the loudest, deepest sound they had ever heard. "I AM SHENLON, THE ETERNAL DRAGON OF PLANET EARTH! REQUEST A WISH, AND I SHALL GRANT IT!" "ETERNAL DRAGON, DEEP INSIDE THIS PLANET RAGES AN UNDYING SPIRIT WITH AN INCREDIBLE ENERGY CALLED 'DARK-POWER.' GIVE THIS DARK-POWER TO ME AND MY THREE SERVANTS!" yelled Avisha. "YOUR WISH IS GRANTED! THE DARK-POWER SHALL BE RELEASED! I BID YOU FAREWELL!" With that, the Eternal Dragon returned to the Dragonballs, and they flew away like seven glowing bullets, not to be used again for one year. Suddenly, a huge earthquake began out of nowhere. It was difficult for the Super Saibamen and their mistress to keep their footing. Suddenly, a huge shaft of black light erupted out of the ground. Avisha walked toward it. She stuck her hand in, and felt a sudden surge of power. She immersed herself in it, and soon afterwards, stepped out. "What was it like, Avisha?" asked Skye. Avisha simply laughed. Then, the Super Saibamen entered the shaft of black light. When they came out, the Super Saibamen and Avisha let out a burst of energy. A black, flaming aura emanated from them. The Dark-Power was like a fire inside them that represented all evil. "What shall we do with our power, Avisha?" asked Trapper, as the Dark-Power beam expired. Avisha turned to her minions. "Long ago, before humans even existed on this planet, Earth was home to the Higher Dragons. These flying beasts were capable of incredible power. Once there was a vicious alien that came to this planet, seeking to destroy all the life here and populate it, using an incredible source of energy called Dark-Power. Somehow, the Higher Dragons managed to destroy the body of the alien, but not his incredible ki. "Today, there is only one Higher Dragon left in this galaxy. Once we capture and analyze it, we can learn the secret to its power and it will help us become the most powerful beings in the entire universe! "Now go forth and bring me the Higher Dragon," ordered Avisha. "I have to work on my spaceship." With that, the Super-Saibamen powered up with their new Dark-Power, and flew off at incredible speed. "Here's your lunch, Hiryuu," said Son Gohan as he handed a bag of berries to his pet. "Eat up now, you need your strength." Gohan went back to his studying. "That's enough History, I think I'll work on my Math," said Gohan. He searched through his backpack. "Oh man! I must've left my math book back home! Hiryuu, I'm going to go get my math book. I'll be right back." Gohan put his books back in his bag and lifted it, right before a black burst of energy could destroy it. "Nani?" Gohan looked up to see three green-haired men in greenish-yellow and black armor. "Hey, kid! Nice pet," said Warlord. "Think we could play with it for a while?" asked Skye. "What do you guys want?" asked Gohan. "Give us the lizard and we don't hurt it," said Trapper. Gohan ran to Hiryuu's side at super speed. "Leave Hiryuu alone!" shouted Gohan as he shifted to his battle stance. The three Super Saibamen landed in front of Gohan. "Stay back!" Hiryuu squawked in fear. Trapper pushed his left hand at Gohan, and fired a beam of Dark-Power at him. Gohan had no time to react. He was hit with the black blast and was knocked into Hiryuu. Hiryuu squalled and licked Gohan's face. Gohan slowly sat up, and then leapt into the air. Gohan put his hands up to his forehead, and drew energy to them. "MASENKOU!" yelled Gohan. He fired a huge, golden beam at Trapper, who energized his Dark-Power and repelled the blast. Gohan landed on the ground and ran with super speed at Trapper. Gohan rapidly threw lightning-fast punches and kicks at Trapper, who dodged each one. Finally, Trapper surrounded his fist in the Dark-Power and punched Gohan right across the jaw. Gohan went hurtling toward a tree, where he hit his head on it, cutting that tree in two. Gohan fell unconscious, unable to hear the Higher Dragon's cries for help. "Gohan…Gohan, can you hear me? Gohan." Gohan slowly opened his eyes. He found himself back in his bedroom, where his father and mother waited for him to awaken. "Gohan! What were you doing in that forest?" asked Chi-Chi. Gohan simply told his mother the truth. "Studying," he moaned. "With that monster of yours?" asked Chi-Chi. "Yes," said Gohan. "How many times have I told you not to go anywhere near Piccolo?" asked Chi-Chi. "I wasn't with Piccolo-San," said Gohan. "Oh, so you were with that filthy beast?" asked Chi-Chi. "Hiryuu isn't filthy," shouted Gohan. Gohan made a big mistake talking back to his mother. The bigger mistake was that he talked back to Chi-Chi! "I mean, I give him a bath everyday, Mom." "How'd you hurt your head, Gohan?" asked Gokou. It was then that Gohan remembered the three evil green-haired men. "Dad! There were three super strong guys! They had incredible powers! They used this powerful, black energy to fight, and they kidnapped Hiryuu!" "Black energy?" asked Gokou. "Hmm…I thought I could sense a powerful force moving away from the forest when I came to get you. Maybe I should ask Kaiouh-Sama about this one. Gokou began to focus on Kaiouh-Sama's ki, far off in the Far West of Heaven, up on Planet Kaiouh. "Kaiouh-Sama? Kaiouh-Sama, can you hear me?" asked Gokou. "Konnichiwa, Gokou," said Kaiouh-Sama. "What is it you wish to speak to me about?" "My son, Gohan was attacked by three really strong guys. They used some kind of black energy. They injured my son and kidnapped his pet dragon," Gokou explained. "Black energy, you say?" asked Kaiouh-Sama. "Oh dear. I'd better look into this." Kaiouh-Sama's two antennae pointed straight into the air. Then, they pointed off towards the Southeast. "I think I'm picking up something," thought Kaiouh-Sama. "OH NO!" "What is it, Kaiouh-Sama?" asked Gokou. "Gokou, I'm sensing four incredibly powerful energy sources! Listen to me Gokou; this is an incredible source of energy that these warriors are using! I'm not sure even your Super Saiyajin abilities are enough to take them down!" cried Kaiouh-Sama. "I don't care! They kidnapped Gohan's Higher Dragon! Ever since he followed Gohan home, I could sense a powerful ki within him! Who knows what those guys have in store for it! What if they learned to control it and unleash its hidden power?" asked Gokou. "Well, Gokou, I suppose you're right! If you can somehow manage to save the Higher Dragon, then perhaps you can save the world," said Kaiouh-Sama. Gokou immediately walked out of his house and summoned the Kintoun again. Gohan jumped out of bed to follow his father. "No, Gohan," ordered Gokou. "You still have to recover. "But…can I have a Senzu Bean?" asked Gohan. Gokou glanced at his son, then his wife, just as he climbed onto the flying cloud. "No," said Gokou just as he escaped. "Strange," said Avisha. "I'm sensing a powerful force heading towards the ship!" She activated a view screen and searched for the energy source. Then she saw him. "What? A Saiyajin? Those bastards! I remember them! We gave their Planet Trade Co. the upgrade for the Scouters, and then we gave them my father's greatest creation, the Saibamen! How do they thank us? They never even found us a new planet! They kept all the good ones to themselves, and left us with places even worse than Planet Arcos!" thought Avisha. "Skye, Trapper, Warlord! A Saiyajin is coming toward us! ATTACK!" ordered Avisha. "Hmm…I can sense several strong warriors inside this spaceship," said Gokou. "I think I can sense the ki of Hiryuu, but his power level is so low." Gokou jumped down from the Kintoun, and landed in the grassland in front of the ship. "Now how do I get inside?" Suddenly, the bay door opened, swinging down to the ground. A big flash of black light came rocketing towards Gokou. He was knocked away from the spaceship. Gokou slowly sat up, and saw a blurry, green figure. "What a power…" "Get up, Saiyajin…" said Warlord. "Huh?" asked Gokou as he came to. "You must be one of the warriors that attacked my son!" "I'm a Super Saibaman! You're no match for me," said Warlord, as he began to energize his Dark-Power. "We'll just see about that," said Gokou. He began to energize his ki. Warlord looked at his adversary quizzically. "What's wrong? Having an ulcer?" "KAIOUHKEN x 10!" yelled Gokou. The red, burning energy surrounded the Saiyajin's body. He flew at Warlord rapidly punching and kicking him. Warlord simply dodged each attack. "KAIOUHKEN x 20!" yelled Gokou. He upgraded his power and continued his assault on the warrior. Warlord was not fast enough to dodge each attack, so he blocked each one. "Man! This guy is super fast," thought Gokou. "Maybe if I powered up the Kaiouhken 40 times!" "KAIOUHKEN x 40!" yelled Gokou. He fired his left fist at Warlord's stomach, but the Super Saibaman caught it. Gokou immediately swung his left foot at Warlord's legs, tripping him up. Gokou immediately followed up with a swift punch with his right fist to Warlord's stomach before he even touched the ground! Warlord rolled back into the spaceship. Gokou had used up a lot of energy. He quickly recovered and raced after the Super Saibaman. Gokou was led into a long, wide, and tall corridor. Soon, he found the Super Saibaman. "You'll pay for that, you Saiyajin scum!" Warlord began to energize his Dark-Power. There was a huge explosion of black light. He continued to power up. "KAIOUHKEN … x 50!" yelled Gokou. A huge, red explosion nearly destroyed the hallway. Gokou and Warlord flew at each other. There was a rapid flurry of punches, kicks, blocks, and dodges, but Warlord managed to score a kick to Gokou's face. Gokou was knocked backward. Warlord powered up his Dark-Power and created a black force field around Gokou. He tried to bust out, but it was useless. "And now to finish you off," said Warlord. "Say goodbye!" "BIG BANG ATTACK!" A big, blue beam of energy came down from the roof of the spaceship. Warlord quickly countered with his own black blast. The assailant floated down from the sky, still shooting with one hand. Warlord could easily defend from the blast, but he was not prepared for what his attacker did next. There was a big, golden explosion. The blue beam turned yellow and pushed Warlord's black beam back. Warlord was easily destroyed. "Vegeta!" said Gokou. "Why are you rescuing me?" "It must be me that destroys you, Kakarotto! I'll protect you and kill you," said the prince of the Saiyajins. "That's all well and good," said Gokou. "But could you let me out of here? My Kaiouhken Attack won't work, and I can only go up to level 50." "Not until you admit that I am your superior," said the Super Saiyajin. Gokou looked at his rival morosely. Suddenly, there was another flash of yellow light. The black force field disappeared, and there stood a golden-haired Super Saiyajin. "Let's get going," said Gokou. He walked past Vegeta and rushed down the corridor. Vegeta followed. Soon, the two of them reached an intersection in the hallway. They could either go forward, left, or right. Gokou looked in each direction. He selected the left path. "This way." At the end of the corridor was a big room, with a huge glass capsule inside. Inside, Hiryuu was sleeping. Gokou knocked on the glass. He tried to punch a hole through it. "This glass is super tough," said Gokou. "What's the point of this excursion of yours?" asked Vegeta, as the Higher Dragon awoke. "My son's pet could be the key to the destruction of the Planet Earth, now stand back," said Gokou. They both backed away. Gokou cupped his hands back by his side. Yellow energy began to draw to his hands. "KAMEHAME HA!" yelled Gokou. The energy blast hit the big capsule, but after the smoke cleared, the capsule was still intact. "This thing must have an energy source," said Vegeta. "Looks like you'll have to shut it down somehow." The two Super Saiyajins were about to go back the way they came, when they saw a tall figure standing in the doorway. "You're not going anywhere," said Skye. "I'll make you pay for what you did to my brother!" "I'll take care of this goon," said Vegeta. He energized the golden aura of the Super Saiyajin. Skye charged up with his black energy. Vegeta ran at Skye and prepared to punch him, but he teleported behind him. Vegeta sensed his location, and swung his leg backward. Skye teleported again. Skye was behind Vegeta again, so Vegeta kicked forward and missed again. Vegeta figured out Skye's idiotic pattern. Vegeta swung his left fist toward Skye, and then brought his left elbow behind him. Vegeta finally got a Bull's Eye. Skye was knocked backward. He rushed toward Vegeta. Vegeta teleported right in front of Skye, and kicked him right in the stomach. Skye went flying into the capsule containing the Higher Dragon. Vegeta ran at Skye and rapidly punched and kicked the Super Saibaman. Vegeta finally managed to score a left cross on Skye, and then swung his right foot across the right side of Skye's face, sending him spinning into the wall. Vegeta stretched his arms out to the sides, powered up, and brought them together. "FINAL FLASH!" yelled Vegeta. Skye was vaporized. "Let's go find that power generator, Kakarotto!" Gokou and Vegeta ran down the very hallway they came. Hiryuu squawked. "Don't worry, Higher Dragon! I'll make sure you're safe," thought Gokou. Soon, they came to the intersection they found the first time. They continued forward. Soon, they came to an even bigger room. Inside was a gigantic machine with all kinds of meters and switches on it. "Let's see," said Gokou. "One of these switches has to be the…" BOOOOMMMM! Gokou turned around to see Vegeta standing with his right hand pointing forward. "Nani? What? Why are you looking at me like that, Kakarotto?" "Nothing, Vegeta," said Gokou. He ran back to the corridor. Suddenly, the auxiliary lights came on. "Crap! The backup system is on now!" When they arrived back in the Capsule room, the capsule was still operational. "Now how do we get that thing out of there?" asked Vegeta. Suddenly, they sensed a large ki behind them. Gokou and Vegeta turned around just in time to get hit with two Dark-Power blasts. "Now, you'll meet your fate at the hands of the strongest Saibaman of them all," said Trapper. He powered up Dark-Power once again. "SHINÉ!" "KAMEHAME HA!" Trapper took a blast to his back. He looked back and saw a kid. "GOHAN! EYÉ!" yelled Gokou. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HURT ME AND HIRYUU! NOW YOU'LL PAY!" yelled Gohan. Trapper stood up and energized its Dark-Power again. He fired a huge blast at Gohan. "AAAHHHRRRGGGHHH!" yelled Gohan. He surrounded himself in energy and the Dark-Power blast dissipated. Gohan flew at Trapper and punched him out. Trapper flew into the wall. He soon came to. "You're gonna pay for that, kid!" yelled Trapper. He flew at Gohan and reared back his left fist, drawing Dark-Power for the strike. "Now you're gonna get it, you little punk, because its time you learned to respect those that can easily kick your -- " Trapper looked behind himself to see who had grabbed his arm. "Piccolo-San," said Gohan. "Didn't Son tell you to stay home, boy?" asked Piccolo as he tossed Trapper into the air. "MAKKENKOUSAPPO!" yelled Piccolo as he fired his energy beam into the air. Trapper countered with another Dark-Power blast. The blast managed to beat Piccolo's attack and hit the Namek-jin. "PICCOLO!" yelled Gohan. The little Saiyajin looked up at Trapper and became enraged. He went Super Saiyajin! Gohan flew into the air and punched Trapper, who returned with a knee to the little boy's stomach. Trapper put his hands together and bopped Gohan on the skull with an ax-handle smash. Gohan fell and landed with both feet on the ground. "MASENKOU!" yelled Gohan. Trapper put his hands out and canceled out the boy's energy blast. Trapper then teleported behind Gohan and booted him into Hiryuu's capsule, face first. "Avisha will be pleased to learn that I have gotten rid of the intruders," said Trapper. He squatted down and charged up his Dark-Power. Trapper looked at the capsule containing the Higher Dragon. There was a bright light coming from inside. "Nani? Is this the true power of the Higher Dragon?" "RRRAAAHHHWWWGGGHHH!" A gigantic beam of energy came flying out of the mouth of Hiryuu that busted open the glass capsule. Trapper was disintegrated by Hiryuu's golden energy beam. Everyone looked at the dragon with surprise in their eyes as the little dragon crawled over to Gohan and licked his face. "Hiryuu…" groaned the boy. Gokou slowly got to his feet. "Let's get out of here!" Gokou, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Hiryuu rushed towards the corridor of the spaceship. They came to the same intersection they reached the first time. That's when Piccolo looked out the window. "This spaceship," he said. "It's moving into space! Someone must be controlling it!" "Hmm…I can sense an immense ki growing in power!" said Vegeta. "What's happening?" thought Gokou. "Huh?" KRRRAKKKA-BOOOOOMMMMM! There was a huge explosion. The flash of dark light blinded all of the Z-Fighters. When it was safe for them to open their eyes again, they discovered that the spaceship that they were in was almost completely destroyed. They looked up and saw that all the floors above them were totaled. The walls and ceilings were reduced to nothing but rocks. "YOU SUPER SAIYA-JIN AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! YOU'VE RUINED MY PLANS OF UNIVERSAL DOMINATION, AND NOW YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE! THIS SHIP IS HEADING RIGHT FOR YOUR SUN!" yelled Avisha. She turned around and charged up more Dark-Power. She shot a control on the control panel in the bridge. "THIS SHIP IS MADE FROM THE ULTIMATE ALLOY! NOW NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM HERE, EXCEPT FOR ME! AND I'M NOT LEAVING THIS SHIP UNTIL I'M SURE THAT YOU FOOLS ARE DEAD!" Gokou looked at a short woman with long red hair in a brown cloak and black suit. He could sense an extraordinary ki. "Just perfect! How am I going to form a Spirit Bomb in outer space? The only energy I could use would have to come from the others. Vegeta will never give me any energy, so I can only use Piccolo and Gohan…and the dragon! Maybe that will be enough!" "PREPARE YOURSELF!" yelled Avisha as she went flying at the Z-Fighters. She began to repeatedly fire black energy blasts heading for each of the Z-Fighters. "RENZOKU BAKUHATSU!" yelled Vegeta. He fired "Consecutive Explosions" to block each one, giving the others time to escape. When he was finished, Vegeta flew towards Avisha and there was a hyper-fast flurry of punches, kicks, and dodges. Avisha managed to kick Vegeta in the stomach, and punched him in the jaw. Piccolo jumped in to punch her, but she caught his fist. Avisha returned with another punch, which was caught by Piccolo. Each on tightened their grip on the other. Their faces were intense. "You'll pay for interfering, Namek-jin!" said Avisha. She shoved her knee into Piccolo's stomach. He bent down in pain, and Avisha kicked Piccolo in the face. "It's our turn, son!" said Gokou. "Right!" said Gohan. "KAMEEEE…" said Gokou. "HAMEEEE…" shouted Gohan. "HAAAAAA!" yelled Gokou and Gohan. Their double blast attack went flying at Avisha. "HHHYYYAAAGGGHHH!" yelled Avisha, as a small explosion of Dark-Power emanated from her, protecting her from the energy blast. "GALACTIC GUN: FIRE!" yelled Vegeta. His patented attack went flying at hyper speed toward Avisha. She jumped straight up, and Vegeta's beam caused a small crater in the wall of the spaceship. "This spaceship really is tough! That attack is meant to destroy planets and it can't even blow a hole in this ship!" Gohan powered up and flew at Avisha, and delivered a powerful kick that was easily blocked and countered with a Dark-Power blast to Gohan's face. Hiryuu let out a squeal of fear and anger. He began to power up. "Huh?" asked Avisha. "What is that little monster doing?" "SSSKKKRRRAAAWWW!" roared the Higher Dragon as it spat a huge blast of energy at Avisha. She was knocked into the wall. "How…can that…little pest…have…such power?" asked Avisha, as she wearily got to her feet. "YYYYAAAAHHHHRRRRGGGGHHHH!" screamed Avisha. Her Dark-Power energy level grew to astronomical heights! "We're getting closer and closer to the Sun," thought Gokou. "I've got to do something, and I got to do it NOW!" "KAIOUHKEN x 70!" yelled the Super Saiyajin. Gokou ran toward Avisha and punched kicked her right in the stomach. Gokou then teleported behind her and shoulder smashed her right in the back. Avisha went flying away. Soon, she got up, flew up and began to power up Dark-Power between her hands. Gokou realized this and began to power up as well. "KAMEHAME HA!" Gokou unleashed his blast just as Avisha fired from above. Gokou's attack was no match for Avisha's Dark-Power. "Ha! Kaiouhken: Weapon of the Gods," chuckled Avisha. "It's no match for me! Say your prayers, Super Saiyajin!" "KAIOUHKEN…x 100!" yelled Gokou. His blast gained enough strength to beat Avisha's and push her up through the roof of the spaceship and into outer space. "Good job, Son," said Piccolo. "Vegeta! Are you familiar with this technology?" asked Gokou. "The controls she busted up were for the bay door, so I still might be able to change the ship's course," said Vegeta as he floated toward the control panel. He began to key in a few commands. "That Saiyajin! I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget! I'll avenge my fellow Arcos-jin and destroy the last of the Saiyajin! Once this is done, I shall be able to conquer a planet myself without having to rely on the Planet Trade Co. NOW, YOU FOOLS! TASTE THE WRATH OF TRUE DARK-POWER! I SHALL SUCCEED WHERE THE 1ST USER OF DARK-POWER FAILED AND DESTROY THE HIGHER DRAGON, TOO!" Avisha began to energize all the Dark-Power she had for one final attack. "The Sun, the planets, satellites, and asteroids! All things that make up the Solar System! GIVE ME STRENGTH!" yelled Gokou. Gokou sensed the energy drawing towards him. He felt the amazing power of Piccolo, Son Gohan, Hiryuu, and all the living things on Planet Earth. He felt the energy of the Sun, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. Surprisingly, he could even feel the power of Vegeta! Most importantly, he felt the horrible Dark-Power heading towards them. "GENKIDAMA!" Gokou hurled the Spirit Bomb through the hole in the spaceship. The Bomb flew straight at Avisha's Dark-Power beam, and pushed it back up towards her. Finally, Avisha was hit with the Spirit Bomb, which divided upon impact to separate the Dark-Power from her ki. Avisha and her Dark-Power were completely blown away into deep space. "Son, you did it," said Piccolo. "Great job, Dad!" said Gohan. Hiryuu squealed. "Thanks, guys! I owe a lot to you, Hiryuu!" said Gokou. Hiryuu licked his face. "Hmm…I think I'll wait another day to completely destroy Kakarotto," thought Vegeta. "He has seen me at my best today, and I must train to improve upon that!" THE END
