Dragon Ball Sj By Christopher Ryan E-mail : SSj4_Trunks_1980@hotmail.com (Note: This fic does by no way completely follow the DBZ story line after the cell games. I’m creating an alternate reality after the cell games happened. So there may be new characters, bring in characters already shown during the new sagas to be shown and some returning character. Also the current characters personalities may vary slightly to show my own view on them and the names will be to reflect FUNimations dubbing of the show. So no Son Gokuu will be seen neither will any of the others. Please no bad email if you don't exactly like how it is.) "The Kooler Conflict" Episode 17: "Time has expired. Piccolo's faithful decision." Kooler was flying at top speed toward the knocked out Letuuz and Gohan. Piccolo looked on in horror as the monster was about to kill them. Just then as if by instinct alone, Piccolo ran to cut off Koolers assault. He barely managed to throw up a block moments before Kooler was to hit. The pain of the attack sent shockwaves through his entire body but he wasnt about to let Kooler kill the two boys. Still reeling from the hit, he threw a right cross into the face of the surprised Kooler sending him flying back a few yards. He quickly motioned for Krillin and Schala to grab the children and flee as he dashed at Kooler to continue the assault. They ran to comply when Piccolo powered up the second before he collided with Kooler. Energy waves shook the lookout as Krillin and Schala scooped up the kids and, with Eighteen in tow, took off. Piccolo looked back and smiled. Kooler on the other hand wasnt so glad, he grabbed Piccolo by the throat and squeezed. "Its futile to run nameck, I will just just hunt them down", Kooler growled as he slammed Piccolo into the ground with terrible force. "Yeah well, it will take you longer to find them", Piccolo remarked between coughs. "Dont you see its no use, I will still find them no matter how far they run", he replied. "Enough talk monster", Piccolo said, charging head first at Kooler. ******************************************** Krillin and Schala were flying side by side, each holding a child with Eighteen flying behind. Their faces plastered with looks of serious worry. Krillin knew that this wasnt unusual for Piccolo. He had done this once before when the saiyans first landed on the earth. It just didnt comfort him knowing that he was still going head to head with that terrible power all by himself. It should be me there, not Piccolo, he thought. Schala was equally worried for Piccolo, she knew what a horrible thing Kooler was and what he could do. On top of that, he was curiously stronger then he was when she had last seen him. Goku powered up to full power of Super Saiyan, followed by Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, Goten and Schala. The group of saiyans were up to their necks in trouble. Kooler just grinned as he charged straight toward the younger saiyans. Goten and Trunks threw up their arms to try and block. Kooler slammed his foot into Goten's face sending him into pile of boulders. He then spun around and kicked Trunks in the gut. Trunks eyes went saucered as he collapsed on one knee. Schala started to run to him, when he lifted his hand to signal her to stop. She did so as she watched Kooler grab Trunks and lift him up then smash his knee into Trunks stomach. Trunks just grunted in pain. Vegeta had enough as he charged Kooler only to be caught face first by an unexpected energy blast. He just flew back harmlessly, blood flowing freely from his shoulder and not being able to use his left arm seeing as there is a hole in his shoulder. Goku tried his hand but was quickly slapped to the ground by Koolers tail. He backflipped and charged again. This time he managed to get close enough to slam his foot into Koolers head. Kooler just flinched, grabbed Goku by the foot as he dropped Trunks, then smash Goku head first into the ground and flung him helplessly off to the side like a piece of trash. Vegeta rolled over with a pain stricken face, one eye squeezed tight and watch as Goku slammed into the ground near him. Goku groaned as he sat up. Kooler reached down and grabbed Trunks who, with enough strength, threw his knee into Kooler's chin, causing his head to snap back. He released Trunks as he backflipped away from Kooler. Trunks dropped to his knees as Schala ran up to him. "Schala get the hell out of here, he’ll kill you", Trunks screams desperately. "No Trunks, I wont leave your side. Even if it means I'll be killed", she replies angrily, the tears freely flowing. "Well, well the tiny monkey and his little mate are still here. Fine, I will slaughter you like I do all who oppose me", Kooler gloats with steel-like certainty. "No, you wont beat me, Kooler. I will kill you with my own hands if need be. You wont threaten the universe anymore", Trunks bellows as he charged at Kooler. Schala could only scream as Kooler caught Trunks in mid-flight and slammed him, with a loud crunch, into the ground. The blood flowed from all around his body. She fell to her knees besides his lifeless body. His eyes opened in terror as if he saw the devil himself. She began to tear up as she flew away from the lookout, the memorys were just too painful but still fresh in her mind. Kooler was a monster then but now he seems to have exceeded that. Krillin looked over at her curiously, she was just staring zombie-like as if in a trance. Not knowing if he should say anything, he decided to just keep quiet for the time being as the two flew as far away from the battle taking place as possible. ******************************************** Piccolo charged headfirst at Kooler, as the tyrant side-stepped to avoid the attack. What he didnt see, was Piccolo drop into a handstand and spun into a leg sweep. The hit was sufficient enough to knock Kooler off balance and off guard. Piccolo then quickly powered up as large of a Ki blast he could muster and fired it, point blank, at Kooler who could just watch as it hit. Piccolo just grinned as both he and Kooler were thrown some distance apart by the force of the explosion. The dust cleared as Piccolo tried to view his handy-work only to see a still smirking Kooler glare back at him. "Valiant effort nameck, but futile nonetheless", Kooler spat sarcastically. "Only one of the many tricks up my sleeve Kooler", Piccolo said, hoping that this was buying the boys enough time to recuperate. "Come now, Piccolo, this is getting you nowhere, we fight, we talk, but they will die. So why not you just drop this and accept this planets destruction, as soon as you tell me where that damn saiyan is hiding", Kooler growled angrily. "Dont worry about Goku, worry about yourself", Piccolo screamed as he charged yet again at Kooler. Kooler rolled his eyes in disgust as he quickly moved and grabbed Piccolo by the throat seconds before he could land a single blow. All he could do was grunt in pain as the mammoth hand gripped his neck and squeezed. Piccolo coughed up small amounts of blood as the grip tightened. Victory seemed less and less likely in his mind each time Koolers fingers closened together. ******************************************** "Gohan...Gohan, please listen to me its your only chance", a voice rang out softly. "D..daddy", Gohan asked, shocked. "Yes Gohan its me, you must listen to me very carefully", the voice continued. "Oh daddy, your alive", Gohan cried out, tears in his eyes. "Gohan, you must focus on what I am about to say. The very future of the earth depends on it. So please listen my son", the voice said "Yes", Gohan replied. "Good Gohan, you must wake up, you must fuse again with Letuuz, it is the only hope you have of defeating Kooler. You can beat him son, you have the power to do so. If you fuse with Letuuz, then the power can be unlocked and increased, do you understand Gohan", the voice rang out again. "I understand dad, but where are you", Gohan inquired. "Im still in the afterlife Gohan, I am speaking with you through King Kaio but you dont have the time to be asking questions. You must awaken and defeat Kooler before its too late. I have faith in you Gohan, you can do it", the voice called out. "Yes dad, I can do it, I can beat Kooler....for you", Gohan exclaimed. Suddenly Gohan began to stir in Krillin's arms, completely surprising him. Just then Letuuz did so as well. Krillin and Schala sighed with relief and smiled at the reawakened boys. They let them go as the boys began to fly on their own. "Gohan, youre alright", Krillin exclaimed, "I thought you were a goner." "Nah, Krillin, an asshole like Kooler couldnt do in the son of Goku", Gohan remarked as the three burst into laughter. "Then the voice in my mind was really Goku", Letuuz asked. "You heard it too", Gohan remarked. "Yeah, he told me to fuse with you again and then we would have enough power to defeat Kooler", Letuuz replied. "Well then if you feel up to it, we should head back, or I think Piccolo might not survive", Gohan asked Letuuz. "Hell yeah", Letuuz cheered. Then the two boys blasted off toward the Lookout once again before the two rescuers could have a chance to reply. Krillin just sighed as Schala growled her dislike for them running off like that. "I dont want Letuuz to be hurt again", Schala said, the anger present in her voice. "What can you do, they just ran off, so I guess the right thing to do is go after them", Krillin said as he and Schala flew off after the two boys.
