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 20: "Nice Try Kooler. Gohauz Goes Back Into Action!" The blast of energy came ever closer, as Gohauz just looked, frozen in place. Then suddenly a snap of energy erupted, Gohauz threw up his arms when the blast hit him dead on. His feet dug into the ground, he grunted as the strain of holding the blast at bay took its toll. He was being pushed back further and further away. Gohauz screamed as he powered up more, trying to hold himself. As he powered up, he attempted to push forward at Kooler. Each step seeming to be harder then the last one. He powered up more as the slow walking proceeded into a quick paced jog, and finally into a bull charge. Gohauz ran toward Kooler, the energy blast still in front of him. Koolers eyes saucered as he realized what was happening, and tried to pour as much energy as he could into the blast but Gohauz' momentum was too great. The full force of the blast hit Kooler as Gohauz threw up a blast to try and shield himself. The energy discharge was so great, that the half the earths hemisphere lit up. All you could see for 20 square miles was just a blinding white light, as it washed over you. Even from space it could be seen as a completely white bubble. Everything and everyone was swept away, the entire planet seemed to be shaking apart. It was fortunate that the battle took place on such a remote part of the world. The light continued as if neverending. Finally dieing down as Krillin, blinking his eyes, groaned as he slowly sat up. He brushed the debris off, and looked down at his leg and tried to move it only to be met with a sharp pain. His leg was broken in several places and bleeding. It seemed to be due to the explosion of energy. He managed to get to his feet only to fall back down onto his stomach. The cries of pain alerted the others as they too dug themselves from where ever they were buried. Schala wiped the dirt from her face and grinned at Krillin. Eighteen, who was several feet away, slowly walked up to Krillin, her left arm hanging lifelessly at her side, and her clutching her shoulder. Suddenly something under Schala began to stir, it was Piccolo, who somehow managed to get buried under her. She got up quickly to see the large boulder she sat on only moments ago rise into the air and go sailing off to the side, a battered Nameck standing in its place. "I guess everyone survived", he coughed out. "Well everyone except Gohauz and Kooler", Schala sighed as she realized that her son might not have. "Im glad Kooler is gone, but Gohauz, man I really hope they managed to get out alive", Krillin muttered in a hushed voice. "Im really hope they werent killed Schala", Eighteen remarked saddened to Schala. "Thank you Eighteen but I cant sense them anywhere", Schala said mournfully as tears welled up in her eyes. "They gave their lives as the others did to save this planet, Im sure Goku is welcoming them to the afterlife as we speak", Krillin said, trying to lift her spirits. "Well I wouldnt say that exactly", a voice echoed in the distance. "Yeah, my dad wont have to welcome us their anytime soon, I hope", another cheerfully added with a laugh. The small group of four looked over as two children climbed over the edge of the crater created by the blast only a few feet off to the left. Gohan was the first one up as he dusted off his clothes, which was shredded in a few places and his body covered in cuts, scrapes, gashes, and his face caked with dried blood and dirt. Letuuz managed to throw his leg over the edge, and roll onto his back. He groaned in pain as he sat up and a large cut the spanned from his shoulder down to his stomach, his armor completely gone and only a few shreds of the underdressing remained intact. Letuuz's body was pretty much in the same condition as Gohan's. The body riddled with no real life-threatening wounds except the one huge cut, which wasnt as bad as it looked, needless to say it looked pretty bad. Schala breathed a sigh of relief as she set eyes on her battered son and Gohan. Letuuz just laughed but quickly winced in pain. "So Kooler is finally gone", Krillin inquired. "Yeah, we saw what was left of his body near the center of the crater, Im surprised there was anything left, we barely managed ourselves", Gohan replied. "After the explosion, we woke up unfused", Letuuz added. "The nightmare is over", Schala said as she smiled. "I guess we should gather the dragon balls and wish everyone back to life", Krillin said. "Well that would be the best thing to do except, we have awhile to go since we used them already", Gohan remarked sadly. "Oh yeah, after the cell games, what will we do until then", Krillin asked. "We can help rebuild what we can until the dragon balls can be used", Schala said firmly as she stood up. "But a whole year? This is gonna suck big time", Krillin sighed. "Dont worry Krillin, if we work together, we can do it", Letuuz said grinning. "Lets just hope nothing happens between then and now, Id hate to have to through another crisis", Krillin said in a bummed voice. Everyone took to the air, Gohan and Krillin helping Letuuz fly to what was left of the lookout. They breathed easier knowing yet another threat to the safety of the universe has been defeated. Though Gohan could only wonder what happened to the others, they might not be able to bring them back to life but he would try. As for Vegeta, he feared there would be some trouble in the afterlife as he arrived. He couldnt help but laugh thinking his dad would just make a big joke of Vegeta. His father never really understood why Vegeta disliked him so, but he had an idea why though he kept that to himself. Krillin and Letuuz looked over at Gohan lost in thought. Letuuz wanted to say something but Krillin quickly nodded for him to let him be. "Is there some reason why you dont want me to interrupt him Krillin", Letuuz whispered to Krillin. "He is probably thinking of his father, Letuuz, I think its best to leave him alone with his thoughts. To honor his fathers memory", Krillin replied in the same hushed tone. "Oh, I know how he feels, my dad died just like his, but I think technically he hasnt died yet in here, its all so weird to me", Letuuz said trying to keep quiet. "Dont worry, Im pretty sure you will be able to see you dad again, just not in the way you remembered him", Krillin chuckled. They finally arrived at the demolished lookout, and were greeted by a relieved Dende. He had been hiding ever since the fight had started on top of the lookout, hoping it would turn out for the best. Gohan and Krillin landed, laying Letuuz down on the ground. Dende kneeled next him and placed his hands on his shoulder. A low golden glow appeared below Dende's hands. Letuuz' wounds started to fade away until they completely disappeared. He moved his arm and to his surprise everything was back in working order. The Dende turned his attention to Gohan and the rest. Once the healings were completed, they filled Dende in on all that happened. Everything from the start of the fight with Kooler all the way down to when Super Saiyan 3 Gohauz finished him off with his own attack. Dende was awestruck at the entire story, except the fact they now have to wait so long until they can make a wish to restore the people and the planet to the way it was. Suddenly the young Nameck thought of an idea, and a smile crept on his face. "What if you use the Nameck dragon balls and summon Porunga to wish everything back", he remarked excited. "But you can only wish ONE person back with a single wish, so it would take millions of wishes to bring everyone back to life", Krillin said in a less then cheerful tone of voice. "Oh yeah, I forgot, it was a nice thought though. Guess we have to still wait such a long time before we can resurrect the people killed by Kooler", Dende sighed heavily. Meanwhile in the afterlife, a familiar face appeared at the check in station presided over by King Yemma. Which by the look on his face was rather startled by the newest arrival. "Im guessing you are Vegeta", King Yemma boomed in the lowest most intimidating voice he could muster. "Yes, want to make something of it", Vegeta shot back, arms crossed and his trademark smirk plastered on his face. Seeing such impudence, King Yemma reeled back flustered as he screamed, "I am the great and powerful King Yemma, you shall show me some respect." "All I see is a blowhard desk jockey, nothing I cant handle", Vegeta retorted, the entire remark in a completely insulting tone. "Why you", King Yemma growled as he got out of his chair. "Whoa King Yemma, relax, please", a voice chimed. "Who dares tell me to relax after such an insult", King Yemma growled as he scanned the room for the owner of the voice. "He doesnt mean anything by it, Vegeta has always been one to start a fight", the voice joked. "And I mean to finish it too Kakarott", Vegeta spat disgruntally. "Oh, I guess you could recognize my voice huh", Goku said, laughing as he came out of the shadows. "Of course, who couldnt recognize that annoying voice you have", Vegeta grumbled. "King Yemma, Im asking permission for Vegeta to come train with me and King Kaio", Goku asked humbly. "He isnt exactly Heaven material Goku, Im sure you are aware of that", King Yemma said, lowering himself back into his chair. "I know sir, but could you just bend the rules this time", Goku replied. "Oh very well, as long as Vegeta agrees to be on his best behavior", King Yemma said. "How dare you, I dont want anything to do with you when it comes to training Kakrott", Vegeta screamed. "Come on Vegeta, lets put our differences behind us, King Kaio said theres a way to purge you of all your previous misdeeds and start again with a clean slate but you have to do it willingly", Goku pleaded. "Why do you want to humiliate me again Kakarott", Vegeta demanded. "Im not Vegeta, its just that I know how badly you want to become the strongest and I want to help you", Goku remarked. "And why would you help me", Vegeta said suspiciously, narrowing his eyes as he glared at Goku. "Well you have changed some since we first met Vegeta and you should put the past behind you and this is a perfect opportunity to do that. Besides I have a secret to show you, and trust me its one hell of a secret to know", Goku said with a hint of mystery in his voice as he proceeded to give the biggest grin. "What does this 'secret' have to do with", Vegeta asked, showing signs of interest. "Lets just say with a pure heart, you could become the strongest Super Saiyan in the universe", Goku stated trying to pursuade Vegeta into aggreeing. The strongest super saiyan in the universe, what is Goku saying? Can he really get Vegeta to erase his past and become a true hero? What does this mean for Vegeta?
