Dragon Ball ST/What it once was

Buu Reborn Saga


"No one can know I am here"

- Goku to Vegeta, upon returning to Earth

Five years after the events of the Shadow Dragon Saga, Vegeta is starting to tire from the routine of life when suddenly, while out training, Goku appears. Goku explains that a terrible evil is soon going to attack the whole universe. He explains that he was aware of this during the fight against the Shadow Dragons and that Omega Shenron was nothing compared to the evil that would appear and that Goku had to leave with Shenron in order to train. Goku reveals that no one can stop what would happen but he and Vegeta could weaken the evil.

Goku explains that if he and Vegeta travel to depths of the universe never charted before, they could find and weaken whatever lurked. Vegeta then says to Goku that he will return with a space ship after saying good-bye to Bulma and his family, but Goku stops him and says that no one can know of their quest. Goku grabs Vegeta and utilizes the Inter-Dimensional Instant Transmission to teleport them to the other side of the universe. Upon arriving on a barren, desolate planet, Goku tells Vegeta to transform to Super Saiyan 4. Vegeta laughs and states there is no need. Goku smiles and asks Vegeta if he has learnt the power of the Super Saiyan 5. After seeing Vegeta transform, Goku powers up as well and the two Super Saiyan 5's make their way across the planet's surface. After some time they come across a large structure and enter.

Back on earth Majuub suddenly collapses in an intense training session with Goten and Pan. He is rushed to a hospital where doctors claim that there is nothing wrong with him physically or mentally and are dumb-founded as to what is wrong with him. Majuub is soon taken back to his village where he is treated with his village's own cures.

A New Threat
"Explain to me what is happenning, Kakarot"

- Vegeta

Back on the planet, Goku suddenly says aloud that one of his former pupils is a main cause for this new evil, and will soon die. Vegeta is mystified but doesn't ask any questions. After some exploring of the structure, Vegeta uncovers a container filled with a liquid with a piece of rubbery gum floating inside. Goku says to destroy it and Vegeta blasts the container to smithereens. Vegeta then quizzes Goku on what is happening. Goku explains that King Kai had contacted him during the fight with Omega Shenron and told him there was no use in fighting. After defeating him and flying off with Shenron, Goku met with King Kai and was told that King Yemma made a mistake in bringing Kid Buu back to life as Uub.

In order for Uub to be brought to life particles of Kid Buu had to be recreated. When Uub was made, King Yemma discovered that he couldn't destroy the particles of Buu. He hid them on a desolate and dead world, guarded by minions of Hell, and thought that eventually they would disappear. Instead they multiplied. The particles eventually got conscious thought and were striving to be part of Uub once again. However, when Uub fused with Majin Buu, Kid Buu's particles had no need to part of Uub and stopped trying to reach him. After some time the conscious part of the particles thought that it could make Majuub super strong and continued its quest to be reunited with Uub. Majin Buu grew evil again and started to take over Majuub's body from the inside. By destroying the particles of Kid Buu, Majuub would be weaker when he became completely possesed. Unfortunately, before Goku can finish telling Vegeta about what is happening, they are attacked.

On Earth, Majuub suddenly rises from his hut and walks to the center of the village. He stands silently, then utters the word "Buu" and the whole village goes up in flames. Majuub travels to where he was training with Goten and Pan, and, not finding them goes on a rampage across West City. He is soon confronted by Gohan, who interrogates hm on what he is doing. Majuub is silent, then says "Buu" again and a ring of fire springs up around him and Gohan. Majuub starts to power up and is surrounded by a white fog which obscures everything. Suddenly a blinding flash of light pierces the sky, and a high pitched laugh sounds through out the world.

On the dead planet Goku and Vegeta are locked in battle with minions of Hell. Vegeta utilizes his new move, the Galick Flash and incinerates half of the minions. Goku then finishes up the rest with the Black Kamehameha. Suddenly Omega Shenron appears before them and states that they cannot escape. Goku and Vegeta charge up their ultimate attacks but to no avail. Omega Shenron stands there, laughing. Vegeta yells and uses the X10 Galick Gun which fails. Goku and Vegeta decide to fuse into Gogeta. After successfully pulling of the fusion, Gogeta stands there, Super Saiyan 4. Gogeta wonders why he isn't SS5 and comes to the conclusion that Goku and Vegeta were SS5 for too long before they fused. Omega Shenron smirks and says that he is far stronger than before and Gogeta doesn't have a chance. Another battle between the two occurs with Gogeta narrowly winning.

Buu Returns
"How can you speak?"

- Gohan to Buu

On Earth, a haze of smoke surrounds Majuub. When it clears, Gohan is shocked to see Kid Buu standing in front of him. Kid Buu attacks and the two have a fierce battle. Gohan stops and says he'd never hoped something like this would happen. He begins to power up. Buu stands silently, watching the whole thing. When Gohan finishes he is standing as a Super Saiyan 3. Buu stares and then utters, "That's a nice trick."

Gohan is taken aback at this. Buu then explains that because of Majuub, he can now speak clearly. The two fight again and Gohan seems to have the upper hand until Buu stops. Gohan lands in front of Buu and starts to taunt him. Buu looks about to submit, then suddenly absorbs Gohan again, becomig even more powerful than before. He then terrorizes the Dragon World, destroying whole cities in the blink of an eye. After several days of this he arrives at Goku's house. He sees Goten and Trunks flying towards the house and stops them. Goten and Trunks look at each other, then attack. After some intense battling, Goten screams "Who are you?" to Buu.

Buu replies saying that he is Majuub reverted back to Kid Buu. He states that he is more powerful than ever before as he has the power of Majuub, Kid Buu and Gohan coupled with the fact that his power grows continously, even faster when fighting. Trunks then says that he'd better get serious.

He and Goten stand next to each other and power up. They perform the fusion dance fo the first time in over 20 years, becoming Gotenks again. Buu gets shocked, showing he still has memories of Super Buu. Gotenks smiles and says it feels good to have so much power again. Buu and Gotenks fight and Buu is pummeled. Buu starts to get angry and charges up. Gotenks smirks and transforms to a SS3. They resume fighting, this time evenly matched.

Suddenly, Goku and Vegeta appear before the house, the sight of his dads distracting Gotenks. Buu manages to land a damaging blow on Gotenks and he falls to the ground, unconscious. Buu smiles and asks why they tried to weaken him, as it did nothing. Goku is furious and demands to know why. Buu tells him of what had previoulsy happened to Gohan. Goku is furious and, after swallowing a senzu bean, powers up to SS5. Buu laughs and asks Vegeta if he knew of Gohan's dissapearance. Vegeta then says that he felt something was out of place when he returned. This pushes Goku over the top. Goku screams at Vegeta why he didn't tell him to which Vegeta replies he didn't know it had any significance. Buu then thanks Vegeta for covering up for him. Vegeta starts to get angry and says he was doing none of Buu's dirty work. Buu then leaps at Vegeta and fuses his body with his own.

Goku vs. Vegeta
"Not even you can withstand this attack, Kakarot!"

- Vegeta, just before firing the Big Galick Flash

Vegeta stands still for a long time, then starts to laugh. He powers up to SS5 and says to Goku that with this newfound power he can finally defeat him. Goku states that he will not fight Vegeta and starts to calm down. Vegeta frowns and says he will absorb Gotenks if Goku doesn't fight.

To prove his point his point, Vegeta leaps over to the unconscious Gotenks and starts to drain his power. Goku gets worried and announces he will fight Vegeta. He transforms to SS5 and and battles Vegeta. The fight continues for hours, neither Goku or Vegeta having an advantage for more than a few minutes. Finally, Vegeta gets furious and flies high into the air. He screams that he will do what he should have done years ago and fires a Big Galick Flash at Goku. Goku retaliates with a Black Kamehameha and the two beams collide.

Bright flashes of light fill the air and the ground starts to shake, much like the first fight between the two. The beams stay solitary for around 10 minutes. Goku starts to falter and Vegeta fires an even more powerful Big Galick Flash at him. Just before Goku is incinerated he unleashes a full power Black Kamehameha. The beam counters Vegeta and blasts him into the sky. Goku stands there, exhausted. A flash of light and Goku reverts to normal.

Suddenly, Buu floats down to the ground and says that Vegeta gave him a nice burst of power. Goku is too exhausted to do anything and waits for the worst.

Return of the Z-Fighters
"No, not again!"

- Goku before transforming to Super Saiyan 6, after seeing Pan's death

Buu walks up to Goku and starts to absorb him when "Neo Tri-Beam" is shouted in the air. An energy blast comes crashing down onto Buu and Tien leaps down. He picks Goku up and carries him to safety. Yamcha, Krillin and Pan all land beside Goku. Goku looks up and sees all his friends and laughs which causes him great pain.

Goten and Trunks, who de-fused hours before, stagger up to Goku. Tien explains that they felt the great powers colliding and they had to come. Yamcha then says that seeing Buu again makes him furious. They all power up, except for Goku, and fly to confront Buu, who bats them away effortlessly. Goku crawls to where the bag of Senzu Beans landed after he dropped them and swallows one. Within seconds he is healthy again. Pan, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Goten and Trunks all keep attacking Buu who keeps shrugging their best attacks away.

Goku transforms to Super Saiyan 5 and is about to join the battle when he sees Pan do a Kamehameha which actually hurts Buu. Buu grabs her and starts to pummel her. After several helpless minutes Buu throws her to the ground and stands above he. He places his hands just above her head and fires a powerful Ki blast which incinerates her body and kills her. Goku, having watched one of his best friends be corrupted and his Granddaughter be killed in same day, suddenly snaps.

He starts to scream and bright lights obscure his body. His hair starts to change from a silver to a yellow. His muscles start to ripple and expand. His face screws up in pain. After going through many changes he finally stops. Yamcha, Tien and everyone stop shielding their eyes stop and see an amazing sight.

Goku stands there, Super Saiyan 6.

A New Transformation
"Now Buu, prepare to meet your final end!"

- SS6 Goku

Even Buu shows signs of fear towards Goku. Goku starts to flex his muscles and walks towards Buu. Buu gets scared and fires Ki blast after Ki blast at Goku who takes them full on and suffers nothing. Goku stands in front of Buu and launches an incredibly fast punch to the gut. Buu doubles over in intense pain and starts choking. He starts to increase in size incredibly and flashes of light emit from his body. Eventually, a scream of pain is heard as a flash of light so bright it blinds those in the area shines. Buu falls to the ground and coughs up Gohan. Goku looks shocked momentarily and starts to punish Buu for what he did to Pan, Gohan and Vegeta. He toys with him and knocks him around, not showing Buu any mercy.

Soon, Buu tries to fight back. Goku, still in a mad rage, hits Buu into the air and fires a great deal of Ki blasts at him. Buu shields himself and prepares a Vanishing Ball of collossal size for Goku. Goku sees what he is doing and powers up a move never seen before. The Saiyan Bomb. Buu launches the Vanishing Ball, which destroys everything in its path. Goku retaliates by firing the Saiyan Bomb with overpowers the Vanishing Ball and adds its power to its own. Buu sees what happens and starts screaming that he's sorry. The Saiyan Bomb hits Buu and carries him into space where the Bomb explodes, taking Buu and several small moons along with it.

Goku powers down and everything seems safe as they can no longer sense any evil power level.

The Battle Finished
"Let's make him pay!"

- Gohan after hearing Goku's idea

 Two Weeks Later 

Everyone mourns the death of Pan, especially Gohan and Videl. A funeral is being planned as they know that she cannot come back due to the Dragon Balls disappearing. Goku, Gohan and all the others who fought Buu are now fully healed except for Krillin who sustained injuries which not even Senzu Beans could heal. Everyone is sitting in the front room of Gohan and Videl's house, silent. Vegeta still hasn't reappeared, though the Z-Fighters know he is still alive as they can sense his power level. Because of Buu there has been no news on what is happening in the world as Buu destroyed most cities and broadcasting facilities. Videl starts crying and Gohan comforts her.

Goku rises from his chair and walks outside. Everyone follows except for Gohan, Videl, Chi Chi and Bulma. Goku stands silently, looking into the sky. Goku starts to become white and utters "He's coming." Everyone knows what this means but they don't want to believe it. Even Gohan stops hugging Videl and walks outside to see what is happening. Yamcha asks "What is it?" and within seconds, Buu is standing in front of them again. Buu tells that he was killed in the Saiyan Bomb but one particle wasn't destroyed. That particle was sucked into a moving spaceship and took control of the inhabitants. He was still weak but his control over the members of the ship soon filled him with his memory and knowledge again. Buu says that he does not have the same amount of power that he had before but it would still be able to beat a Super Saiyan 5.

Goku powers up to Super Saiyan 5 and says it's a good thing that he can turn SS6 then. Goku tries to power up but fails. Buu laughs and says that he thought he wouldn't be able to do it as he lost a lot of his power in the last fight. Goku grimaces and powers down to SS3.

He tells Gohan to power up to SS3 and Gohan complies. Goku walks over to Gohan and whispers something in his ear, to which Gohan smiles. They power up together and Goku tells Buu to wait for one minute. Goku and Gohan move about two metres away from each other. The two take up a similar pose and perform the fusion dance. A shine of light and screech of sound and a new fighter stands there, as a Super Saiyan 3.

The New Warrior
"I call this the Spirit Kamehameha!"

- Goku to Buu

Buu is take aback at this. The new fighter starts to laugh, "Oh you're looking scared Buu! Now before I battle you, I'm gonna need a name. Hmmm, can't be Goku, can't be Gohan. How about Gokarot? Sounds good I reckon." Buu rushes towards Gokarot who bats him away. Gokarot walks towards Buu and pats him on the head. Buu takes Gokarot by surprise and blows him away. Gokarot gets up and throws Buu over a field to an uninhabited place where the fight continues. Gokarot easily has the upperhand over Buu and laughs in his face frequently. Gokarot knocks Buu down a canyon and flies high in the air. He shouts over the valley that he is going to finish Buu once and for all. Gokarot then starts using a move that no one other Goku has ever used.

He puts his hands up and starts gathering energy from the whole Earth in order to make a Spirit Bomb. When Buu crawls out of the canyon he is visited by a bad memory. A full power Spirit Bomb comes launching down on him and he barely manages to fires something to slow it down. Gokarot isn't paying attention to what Buu is doing and doesn't notice the Spirit Bomb creeping it's way back towards him. Eventually Buu gets a Vanishing Ball ready and adds it to the Spirit Bomb. Gokarot finally notices but defuses before he can do anything.

Gohan looks at Goku and asks what to do. Goku tells him to do what he does and launches a Black Kamehameha into the Spirit Bomb. Gohan powers up his own Kamehameha Wave and fires it into the Spirit Bomb. Goku shouts over the noise to Buu that he will be finished once and for all. Goku puts more power into Spirit Bomb creating the Spirit Kamehameha. The Spirit Kamehameha is too much for Buu and he loses his grip on things. As the Spirit Kamehameha carries him off into space Goku finally knows that Buu is gone forever and peace could be restored to Earth.

True Super Saiyan Saga
"Don't worry Bulma, Vegeta is still alive"

- Goku to Bulma

Three weeks later

The Z-Fighters have buried Pan and are returning to normal life. Everyone is overjoyed for Goku to be back with them, especially Chi Chi and Goten. Goku has started to train with Gohan, Goten and Trunks. Under Goku's training, Goten and Trunks quickly elevate to the Super Saiyan 3. Goku creates several new, more powerful moves and teaches them to Gohan. Vegeta has still not turned up after being blasted away by Goku and Bulma is getting worried. Goku tries to sense Vegeta's energy but can't and concludes that Vegeta has traveled deep into the depths of the Universe.

Meanwhile Vegeta, having been humiliated by Goku and corrupted yet again, has left Earth hoping to find something to train, enlighten or help him regain his once fierce pride. He decides that searching for where Frieza and his family came from would be a good idea. So he travels to the planet he knew Frieza spent most of his time on, having stolen the fastest spaceship that Capsule Corp. could make. The planet, now abandoned and devoid of life, is where Vegeta believes Frieza and his race originated from. He searches every habitable part of the planet in order to find where Frieza's family lived. Vegeta discovers several cities but can't find any traces of Changelings. He is about to give up when he discovers a palace made under an overhang of rock and ice. Vegeta enters and discovers statues of Frieza, King Cold and many other Changelings.

Vegeta goes through the manor and eventually finds Frieza's quarters, situated at the back of the mansion. He enters and finds shelves upon shelves filled with ancient texts, runes and the like. In the center is a large pod, protruding from the wall with a tunnel next to it, leading to the top of the overhang and presumably a landing pad for a ship. Next to the tunnel is a series of indentations in the wall filled with armour. Vegeta is slightly overwhelmed and searches the room further. He discovers a tunnel leading under the mansion, a room leading to his servants quarters, and a computer console inside the pod which contains bedding. Vegeta accesses the console and searches for a catalogue of Frieza's journal. Vegeta is directed to a shelf next to a wall and pulls out a book at random. Inside is a text which Vegeta reads aloud. Suddenly a scraping sound is heard and the pod in the centre of the wall moves further into the wall, displaying a chamber filled with even more scripts.

Original Namek
"So, Zarbon wasn't stupid after all!"

- Vegeta after finding the coordinates to Original Namek

Vegeta transforms to Super Saiyan and enters into the room, cautious. Vegeta looks around the new chamber and sees no console. He searches the room, which is the size of half the manor and comes across a rune carved into a bare wall at the back. Vegeta is puzzled by the text which reads:

"Frieza you have traveled to the wrong Namek.

'If you wish to gain true immortality you must travel to Original Namek. '

'The Dragon Balls there can understand any language, as they were the first ever made. '

'They have the ability to grant any wish whatsoever, no matter how powerful. '

Signed, Zarbon"

Vegeta is surprised at the message being written by Zarbon as he was at Namek as well, but then comes to the conclusion that he must have been forced to go with Frieza and carved this before they left. He ponders the message and wanders round the room, soon discovering coordinates to the Original Namek carved into another wall with the words needed to summon Original Shenron. Vegeta then realizes that he can bring Pan back to life and restore his pride by claiming the original Dragon Balls and thus, copies the coordinates down before heading to the top of the overhang. As expected, Vegeta finds a model of Frieza's ship and boards, having forgotten where he left the Capsule Corp ship. He punches in the coordinates and the ship tears across the sky into new depths of the Universe.

Search for the Dragon Balls
"An eighth Dragon Ball?"

- Vegeta after finding the eighth Dragon Ball

 Three days later 

Vegeta wakes from his chambers and heads towards the bridge. Looking out of the large frontal windows, Vegeta spots a rather small, blue planet orbiting around a dying sun. He programs the ship to land and braces for impact. Upon landing however, the ship sinks into the ground slightly. Vegeta steps out and immediately falls, his foot sinking deep into the ground. After pulling his foot out he decides it would be best to fly and then gets out the Dragon Radar. Immediately, it starts to blip wildly and Vegeta heads off in the direction of the Dragon Balls.

After some time, Vegeta finds a small village with the houses much less developed than the new Namek designs. He enters the largest and most well built and discovers the 3-star Dragon Ball. With the Ball safely stowed away, Vegeta searches for more and comes across the 4th, 1st, 6th, 2nd and 5th. After hiding the Dragon Balls on the ship, Vegeta notices that there are two blips remaining on the radar. He is confused but heads off in the dierction off the nearest one and finds the Seventh. Still one remains on the radar.

Vegeta tears off in that direction and uncovers an eighth Dragon Ball. Vegeta is perplexed but gathers the Balls together and intones the summoning chant. When he finishes nothing happens. Vegeta waits several minutes then tries again. This time a piercing screech fills Vegeta's ears and a dark smoke surrounds the Dragon Balls.

True Shenron
"What sort of Dragon doesn't grant wishes?"

- Vegeta

'''"WHO HAS SUMMONED ME?" '''Vegeta looks up and stares into the face of a black Shenron and replies that he has. Shenron then tells him to state his need and Vegeta asks if there is a limit to how many wishes he gets. Shenron then replies that no wishes can be made on him as he only bestows great knowledge. Vegeta is furious but calms down and realizes that he find alternate ways to restore life and asks how to retrieve people from the dead.Then Vegeta realizes the answer is that it is impossible to bring someone back from the dead without a wishing Dragon. Vegeta then racks his brains trying to think of a suitable question for Shenron then remembers the old Saiyan tale of the Original Super Saiyan. "Who was the Original Super Saiyan?" Vegeta asks.

Shenron is silent for a moment then replies, '''"THE ORIGINAL SUPER SAIYAN WAS NOT ONE OF THIS UNIVERSE. HIS NAME WAS SERROLI. HE FIRST TRANSFORMED INTO A SUPER SAIYAN DURING A RAMPAGE AS A GREAT APE. IN HIS FURY, HE DESTROYED THE ORIGINAL SAIYAN HOME PLANET. THE TRUE SAIYANS DECIDED THAT THEY NEEDED TO DESTROY HIM AND FOUND MY COUNTER-PART, THE SHENRON YOU WERE SEEKING. THEY WISHED THAT HE BE DESTROYED BUT SHENRON TOLD THEM HE WAS TOO POWERFUL TO KILL. SHENRON THEN SPLIT HIM INTO TWO SEPARATE SAIYANS AND MADE IT SO THEY WOULD NOT REAPPEAR FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS." Shenron pauses and then continues, "THE NAMES OF THE SAIYANS HE SPLIT INTO WERE KAKAROT AND VEGETA."'''

Vegeta's Shock
"So, we are the Original Super Saiyan?"

- Goku to Vegeta

Vegeta is taken aback at this and asks how that is possible, to which Shenron replies that the original Shenron, the Granter of Wishes, could make nearly any wish come true. The only one he couldn't fulfil was the one to kill Serroli. Vegeta stands silently for moments then asks if there is any way that Serroli could be brought back by fusing Kakarot and Vegeta together. The answer is that every time the two fuse they get closer and closer to becoming one again. He then continues, saying that there is a special fusion which fuses them back together immediately. Vegeta then demands that Shenron tell him the fusion and Shenron complies.

Vegeta, now knowing the fusion, dismisses Shenron and returns to the ship. He hits in the coordinates for Earth and returns to his chambers, where he practices the new fusion. Upon arriving on Earth, he senses Goku and teleports to his location. Goku is training with Goten, Trunks and Gohan and they look at Vegeta as he walks up to Goku. After explaining where he had been for the last few weeks, Vegeta then tells of Serroli and how he and Goku are the Original Super Saiyan. Goku is surprised and doesn't believe Vegeta but agrees to try it and Vegeta tells him the new fusion.

They power up to Super Saiyan and stand one meter away from each other. They then start to charge up until they're both SS5. A white energy wave springs up around them and shrouds their bodies, blinding Gohan, Trunks and Goten. Goku and Vegeta now shout aloud, "SERROLI" and the energy barrier turns black. Suddenly Goku and Vegeta are thrown from the barrier and a distant laughter echoes out of it.

Dark Gogeta
"If only you were evil when you had fused into Gogeta. Then you could have experienced true power!"

- Dark Gogeta to Goku and Vegeta

When the energy dissapates, a new figure stands there. Everyone looks to him and they see SS4 Gogeta grinning at them. Vegeta is confused that Gogeta is standing there and demands to know what happened. Gogeta then says that the reappearance of Serroli is too dangerous and a feature was set in place so that every time the two tried to refuse into Serroli, a dark version of the most powerful previous fusion between the two would be created more powerful to stop them. With that, Dark Gogeta leaps at Goku and the two start battling.

Vegeta is devastated at his failure again. He stands silently, his rage increasing until he finally releases it all and powers up to his SS5 peak. He fires the Big Galick Flash at Dark Gogeta who is caught off guard and takes it full on. Unfortunately, when the haze clears, Gogeta is standing there, with a grin on his face. Vegeta starts to charge another and Goku charges a Black Kamehameha. They fire the beams which throw Gogeta through the air and crashing into a city being rebuilt after the carnage of Buu. Gogeta stands and is furious. He powers a Dark Big Bang Kamehameha. Goku and Vegeta retaliate by releasing more beams and the three collide. However, Dark Gogeta is still more powerful and defeats them easily in the beam struggle.

Gogeta then rampages through the city, destroying all the new buildings and killing thousands of civilians. Goku gets up from the rubble around him and says to Vegeta that they should at least try to re-fuse into Serroli again as they are going to die anyway. The two power up to the absolute peak of their powers, and shout "SERROLI" again. This time, the light fills every visible spot and Goku and Vegeta aren't thrown out of the energy barrier. They stand solitary for several minutes. Dark Gogeta finally catches sight of what is happening but it is already too late.

Serroli
"How pitiful a warrior are you?"

- Serroli to Dark Gogeta

Dark Gogeta rushes at the energy dome but is thrown back on contact. When the light clears this time, a completely different warrior stands. He laughs at Dark Gogeta and charges a ki blast. Gogeta blocks but the energy blast still damages him immensely. The new fighter starts a one-sided fight against Gogeta and kicks him around constantly until Gogeta is begging for mercy. The warrior then walks up to Gogeta and charges a ki blast over his body. He fires, and Gogeta is killed instantly. The new warrior then flies to the sky and announces over the world, "I am the True Super Saiyan, and I have returned! I will wreak havoc on the Saiyans that banished me, I will punish the universe, I will kill anyone who opposes me! I am Serroli!"

Serroli then flies down and forces Gohan, Goten and Trunks to stand. He then interrogates them on who they are. After hearing the replies, Serroli asks if any of them have seen a Super Saiyan 6. Goten and Trunks say that Goku transformed into one and Gohan says he remembers Goku muttering something along those lines. Serroli curses and screams that he should be the only one to be able to transform to SS6 and that his new memories were correct. He then states that he had better dispose of the three and powers up. After severely injuring them, Serroli dissapears.

Goten wonders why he didn't kill them and Gohan theorizes that he has influences of Goku and Vegeta, particularly of Goku's kind nature towards his family. Soon after though, they all feel a drop in life forms across the world. They decide that they're the only ones who can stop Serroli and decide to use a technique never done before to stop him.

The Ultimate Fusion
"Time for a new type of Fusion!"

- Goten

Gohan, Goten and Trunks all transform to Super Saiyan and Goten and Trunks fuse into Gotenks. Gohan powers up to match Gotenks' strength and the two transform to SS2. They then strike up the fusion pose and fuse into an even more powerful warrior than Gokarot. This new warrior then flies into the air, searching for Serroli's power level. After locating it, the warrior soars off in that direction, without naming himself. Upon arriving at his destination, the warrior floats over the area, searching for the elusive Serroli.

Suddenly, Serroli teleports behind the warrior and bats him to the ground. He hovers over the warrior, laughing. Serroli then yells that just because Gohan, Goten and Trunks fused, doesn't mean they can beat him. The warrior then gets up and smirks, saying that his power is so great, he can bypass certain levels of power and that Serroli is underestimating him. Serroli mocks the warrior and tells him to show him. The warrior smiles and starts charging. The ground starts to shake violently and the warrior quickly ascends to Super Saiyan 3. Serroli laughs and then asks if he can do anything else. The warrior replies that he's only just beginning.

He starts to charge again and a deep rumbling is heard. The sky darkens and lightning flashes. Violent earthquakes start and Serroli starts to get worried. Eventually, the ground below crumbles away but the warrior keeps on charging. His hair grows shorter and turns black. He grows a tail and dark red fur all over his body. Light stats to shimmer around him and soon covers his body. Serroli soon learns what is happening and charges a powerful blast. He charges it for several mintues, then fires.

The ball of energy tears across the sky, heading straight for the warrior. Serroli watches intently. The light around the warrior finally clears and as soon as the ball hits, it is batted away instantly. Serroli is astonished and fires more ki blasts. The warrior deflects them all and shouts, "I'm not finished charging just yet!" When Serroli hears this he goes into a rage. The warrior starts charging yet again and even more natural terrors occur. Tidal waves of collosal size are formed and destroy many many cities. Hurricanes and tornadoes tear across the Earth, raging over everything. Great dips in the world occur and Earth starts to die. The warrior finally finishes and stares at Serroli. Serroli stops protecting himself and looks over.

A Super Saiyan 5 stares back.

Battle of the Fusions
"No one can rival me in power!"

- Serroli

Serroli is enraged and teleports away. The warrior teleports as well. Eventually, the warrior grabs Serroli and teleports to a dead world, far from Earth. There, Serroli looks towards the warrior and pushes him away. "You are very powerful, but you are still not strongest. I can do many things that you cannot even attempt to do." With that, Serroli starts powering up and soon two Super Saiyan 5's are staring at each other. Serroli laughs and rushes at the warrior. A furious battle ensues, with the warrior clearly having an advantage.

Serroli keeps laughing the whole time, making the warrior even more angry. The two clash again and again and each time, Serroli grows more powerful. Serroli then charges a Black Kamehameha and Galick Flash mix. The warrior sees this and charges a Kamehameha Buster. The two fire and the beams collide. After several minutes, Serroli surges and his beam charges forward, bowling the warrior away. Serroli then laughs and says no one can beat him.

The warrior then rushes at Serroli, delivering a powerful blow. Unfortunately, as soon as the warrior starts to take advantage, he drops from the SS5 form down to the SS4. He is surprised but delivers powerful blows at Serroli constantly until he drops to SS3. Serroli moves a distance away to watch. The warrior keeps dropping forms until he stands in his base form, and, not being able to drop any further levels, de-fuses Gohan. Gotenks stands there, unsure what is happening, then de-fuses as well. Gohan, Goten and Trunks all stand there, in shock, until Serroli starts laughing and moves towards them.

Serroli, the Nightmare
"What sort of Super Saiyan 3 can keep up with me?"

- Serroli

Serroli stops in front of the three exhausted fighters. He looks at Trunks and smirks, laughing at the injuries Trunks sustained. After several seconds, Serroli grabs Trunks and throws him high into the air. Goten screams and Serroli laughs even harder. Serroli starts charging a ki blast and fires at Trunks, killing him instantly. Goten becomes enraged and suddenly regains all his energy. He powers to SS3 and leaps towards Serroli, taking him by surprise and knocking him to the ground. Goten fights visciously, keeping pace with Serroli, still in the SS5 form.

Serroli grows angry at a SS3 keeping up with him, and lands a bone-crunching punch on Goten's chest. Goten staggers back, coughing blood. Gohan watches, still exhausted from the fusion. Goten looks up and see's Serroli leaping over to Gohan. Serroli places his hand over Gohan's chest and starts gathering energy. Goten soon understands what Serroli is intending to do, and leaps at him. Serroli smiles and lets loose, launching Gohan across the land. Goten gets enraged even further, and loses control. He starts to cry and soon powers up to his max.

Dust swirls around Goten as he starts to break the Super Saiyan 3 barrier. Serroli watches, amused at Goten. Goten suddenly screams incredibly loudly and releases his anger, breaking the barrier of the SS3 and ascending to Ultra Super Saiyan 3.

Goten's Power
"I pity those who hurt for pleasure"

- USS3 Goten

Serroli stares at Goten in amazement, then smiles and congratulates Goten on breaking the barrier no Half-Saiyan has ever broken. Goten looks at Serroli, then says, "Praise from a murderer is nothing." Serroli laughs but is cut short. Goten leaps at Serroli and cracks him hard on the jaw. Serroli staggers and coughs up blood. He stares angrily at Goten, before launching a Big Bang Attack. Goten waits until the blast is just ahead, then bats it away. Serroli stares, dumb-founded. Goten then disappears behind Serroli and fires a True Kamehameha. Serroli gets blasted into the sky and Goten launches several smaller Kamehameha's at Serroli.

Goten stands there, knowing that Serroli is still alive. Eventually, Serroli floats down and glares at Goten. Serroli then states that he will have to assume a form only used twice before, once by him and once by Goku. Serroli charges his power, and transforms into the legendary form of Super Saiyan 6. Goten stands, his anger rising. Serroli laughs once more, until Goten suddenly flies at him. Serroli evades and Goten teleports behind him. Serroli grabs Goten and fires a Black Kamehameha into Goten's chest.

Goten flies across the planet, until he collides with a mound of stone. As he gets up, he hears a familiar voice. Piccolo starts to talk to him through Telepathy. As Goten stands and waits for Serroli, Piccolo tells that he has been watching the whole time and knows a plan to defeat Serroli. Piccolo explains the plan to Goten as he charges his power further. Serroli finally travels to Goten and fires a Decimating Ball at Goten. Goten retaliates by launching a True Kamehameha and the two warriors enter a beam struggle. Neither side budges for several minutes until Goten pools his extra energy into the beam and knocks Serroli away.

Unfortunately, Serroli stops his flight short and tells Goten of his fighting skill. Goten grows angrier and screams at Serroli to shut up. Serroli laughs and slowly advances towards Goten.

Piccolo's Return
"Goten, no time for the proper introductions"

- Piccolo

Piccolo continues explaining what he intends to do, while Goten fights Serroli. Eventually, Goten budges, and is knocked to the ground. Serroli charges a Decimating Ball and lets loose. The Decimating Ball hits Goten and drains his power, reverting him to Super Saiyan 2. Piccolo finally finishes explaining his plan. Goten stands slowly, waiting for Serroli's final attack. Serroli then tells Goten to train with him, as he could teach Goten many great fighting skills. Goten keeps Serroli talking, making sure he doesn't see the portal slowly coming into existance behind him.

The portal starts to suck the light and energy from the planet, and Piccolo is thrown through, followed by a stranger. Serroli catches sight of what is happening and stares in horror when he sees who is standing with Piccolo. Piccolo glares at Serroli then transports to Goten. Piccolo gives Goten a Senzu Bean and motions for the stranger to come. Serroli stands petrified. Piccolo talks to the stranger for several seconds then says to Goten, "This is Bardock. He's your Grandfather."

Goten is taken aback at this and stares at Bardock for a long time, then says, "I know. I can tell." Bardock laughs then tells Goten why he is there. Goten is in shock for several moments, then stands and ascends to Ultra Super Saiyan 3. Bardock smiles, then transforms to Super Saiyan. Grandfather and Grandson then fly up to finally confront Serroli.

Bardock stares long and hard at Serroli, then mutters, "Kakarot, I know you are still there." Serroli starts making faces then speaks in an exhausted tone. "Father, help me." Bardock grits his teeth and says that he will. Goten then leaps at Serroli, battling him to the ground, while Bardock stands silently, muttering unintelligible words. Another portal of the Underworld opens, and King Vegeta steps through. Bardock moves towards King Vegeta and says, "Good to see you, King." King Vegeta stares back, then replies, "Likewise." Bardock then tells him why he was summoned and King Vegeta nods. He too transforms to Super Saiyan and the two Saiyans stand to face the battle.

Separation
"You ready?"

- Bardock to King Vegeta

Goten battles Serroli furiously, while Bardock and King Vegeta power themselves up. Serroli starts to beat Goten severely, causing Piccolo to step into the fray. Piccolo fires a Light Grenade which catches Serroli by surpirse and knocks down. Goten hovers over him, waiting for him to stand. Piccolo leaves momentarily to check up on Bardock and King Vegeta, who start to intone unintelligible words. The sky starts rumbling and Serroli looks up in terror. Bardock starts to shout louder and louder, eventually deafening those around.

Bardock then starts to shout, "SERROLI, YOU HAVE COME AGAIN. HOWEVER, YOU STILL ARE A RUTHLESS, POWER CRAZED BEING. WE HAVE RETURNED FROM THE OTHERWORLD TO SEPARATE YOU ONCE MORE, AS WE DID MILLENIA AGO. NOW, PREPARE FOR DEATH, SERROLI" 

With that, Bardock and King Vegeta leap at Serroli and start to battle him. Goten stands overhead, charging a full power True Kamehameha. Piccolo moves next to him and starts to charge another potent beam. Bardock blasts Serroli from the side, straight into King Vegeta's path. King Vegeta fires a Super Galick Gun and Serroli is stunned momentarily. They leap out of the way and Piccolo and Goten let loose their beams which come crashing down in Serroli. Bardock hovers high above, watching and muttering.

Serroli lies in the dirt, beatn to a pulp by the combined efforts of four warriors. Bardock glides down and walks over to Serroli. He kneels beside him and states quietly, "I am the one true separator that Shenron designated. I must now fulfil my duty. Goodbye, my son." Bardock starts charging an explosive wave, similar to that of Majin Vegeta. He starts to mutter more words and then simply vanishes. Serroli starts to laugh, saying that he still did not do anything. Serroli keeps laughing, and suddenly, a blinding flash of white light is emitted and Serroli's laughter is stopped short.

Return
"Don't worry. Serroli is gone"

- Goku to Goten and Gohan

The light starts to dim and Piccolo starts to walk slowly over. He kneels down, obscuring the source of light from view. Goten calms down and releases his Super Saiyan 3 form. King Vegeta moves over to Goten and asks him who taught him to fight. Goten explains and King Vegeta is amazed. Piccolo stands and wanders over to Goten and King Vegeta, two shadows following in his wake. Piccolo stops just short, and spins around to face the shadows, still obscuring any insightful sights. He starts to talk quietly and suddenly, one of the shadows breaks away and moves to King Vegeta.

Vegeta stares up at his father, then asks him he returned from the Otherworld. King Vegeta explains that Bardock had met Piccolo in Hell and told him of his life. Piccolo then received news of Serroli and asked Bardock if he knew anything about him, to which Bardock replied that he was among the group of Saiyans that split him in two. Shenron had made Bardock and King Vegeta the two Saiyans that would be reborn sometime in the future, near the time that Serroli would refuse. Unfortunately, because Frieza killed all the Saiyans before Serroli reappeared, they could not stop the refusion. Piccolo becoming the self-appointed guardian of Hell was a complete coincidence and was extremely helpful in reaching the battlefield in time.

Goku finally steps out from behind Piccolo and walks over to Goten. Goku then says, "That was an amazing fight you put up Goten! Great work!" Goten stares at his face then says that Serroli killed Trunks and Gohan. Goku suddenly becomes serious, saying that there is a chance that Gohan is still alive. Piccolo stares off into the sky and suddenly announces, "That's it! I can feel his energy!" Everyone tears off in the direction of Gohan's energy and they find him half-buried in a mound of rocks.

When everyone is gathered together, Goten asks where Bardock is. King Vegeta replies, saying that he had to sacrifice his soul to revert Serroli and his body perished. Goten asks if he can come back and Piccolo says that he died while he was already dead and he can't return as his soul and physical body are both gone and nothing, not even Shenron, could retrieve him. Goten is disappointed, but then cheers up when Gohan starts waking up. Everyone teleports back to Earth, except for King Vegeta, and Piccolo announces that he knows how to revive Pan, Majuub and Trunks. Everyone is surprised but Vegeta states that they could just head to Namek. Piccolo agrees that that would be a good idea, but the Great Elder, appointed after Guru, had perished and the Namekian Dragon Balls were stone.

Everyone is disappointed, but Piccolo explains how to return those passed back to life. After explaining, Piccolo returns to the Other World.

Creation Saga
"We need a ship"

- Vegeta to Bulma

A year and a half later...

After the devastation caused by Serroli, Buu, Dark Gogeta and the Warrior, the Earth has finally started to recover. While the population is in the ten thousands, recovery has happened quickly and efficiently. The natural disasters caused by the Warrior have died down, though they do return occasionally, but have devastated the Earth nearly beyond repair.

The Z-Fighters have settled back into normal life with Goku around again and are preparing for the space journey to revive their fallen comrades. Goku, Vegeta and Goten still train diligently, though because of the injuries caused by Serroli, Gohan is unable to join them and is unable to fight again. Goten's power has rocketed through the roof, being able to overpower Goku and Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4 forms, who both achieved great strength after defusing from Serroli. Goten's Ultra Super Saiyan 3 form has become even more powerful, though overshadowed due to Goten discovering higher levels of Super Saiyan 3, bordering on Super Saiyan 4. Gohan, being unable to fight or train, has isolated himself from everyone but Videl and locks himself in his studies.

After many hours of thinking out what to do to revive their friends, the Z-Fighters turned to Bulma to create another spaceship like the one Vegeta stole. Unfortunately however, Bulma states that she has to build the ship from scratch and would take nearly two years to complete. In order to be prepared for the return after the journey, the Z-Fighters haven't buried Trunks and have kept his body preserved. After hours of deliberation, they also decide to dig up Pan and preserve the remains of her body.

Journey
"The ship's finally done!"

- Bulma

After months of waiting, Bulma finally completes the ship and prepares it for the long journey it will endure. Goku bids farewell to Chi-Chi and Goten, Gohan still isolating himself. Vegeta says goodbye to Bulma, Bulla and Trunks and the two legendary warriors head on board the ship. They pack their gear away, and punch in the coordinates for Original Namek. The ship blasts off, leaving the rest of the Z-Fighters to fend for Earth.

Several months later....

The ship lands on Original Namek's soft surface, and immediately sinks slightly, like Vegeta's ship. Goku and Vegeta leave the ship, and prepare themselves. They collect the Dragon Radar and tear across the sky, neither saying much. The two quickly gather seven Dragon Balls. After attempting to summon Original Shenron several times, Goku tosses the Radar away in fury. Vegeta picks it up, tells Goku to wait there and soars away. Several hours later, Vegeta returns with the eighth Dragon Ball. Goku is perplexed, but Vegeta quickly explains that he was surprised the first time he found it, but it is necessary to summon Original Shenron. He puts down the Dragon Ball and Goku starts summoning Shenron.

The Dragon soars from the Balls and asks Vegeta what they wish to know. Vegeta then steps forward and yells, "Shenron, give us the knowledge of where to find the Original, Wish-Granting Shenron!" Shenron hesitates and says, '''"VERY WELL. I DID NOT WISH TO DO THIS AGAIN, BUT IF I MUST I WILL." '''

The eighth Dragon Ball rises from beneath Original Shenron and stays solitary for several moments, before floating down beside Goku and Vegeta. Shenron announces that he has done all he can and departs, scattering the remaining seven Dragon Balls. The eighth glows brightly, before splitting into seven shards. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and an even larger, more menacing Dragon rises from the Dragon Ball Shards.

Ultimate Shenron
"Who are you to question us?"

- Vegeta to Shenron

The skies flash and tremble. Huge chunks of ground rise up and collapse. Seas start flooding the land and the ground at once solidifies. A dark mist rises and covers the land. Goku and Vegeta rise above the chaos to stare into the face of the new Dragon. Red eyes flash from the smog and at once, a great black head lifts from the smoke. "WHO DARE DISTURB MY REST? TELL ME NOW."

Vegeta stares into the Dragon's face and at once, Shenron growls'', "WHY HAVE YOU SAIYANS DISTURBED ME YET AGAIN? I GRANTED YOUR WISH NOW LET ME REST IN PEACE." '''Vegeta replies coldly, "Who are you to question us? We are the last of our kind and need your help. You remember the wish our ancestors made to banish Serroli. Well, he stands before you now, split into two separate beings. We have enough power to destroy you, but we need your help. Now, grant our wishes or suffer the consequences."

Shenron begins to utter a laugh and says that he thought Goku and Vegeta looked familiar. "SO, WHAT DID YOU WANT FROM ME? THIS WILL BE THE FINAL WISH I WILL EVER GRANT TO MORTALS." Goku hesitates a moment, then says that wish for Pan, Trunks and Uub to return to life. Shenron considers this, and grants the wish.

Back on Earth, Chi-Chi, Ox-King, Videl and Goten all watch as Pan's eyes flutter open. She slowly wakes up her body, and eventually utters the word, "Hi." The whole family laughs with joy and the celebrations begin and don't end for days. Several hours in, there is a knock on the door. Goten opens it and is delighted to see Uub and Trunks standing there, grinning. The festivities heighten with everyone joining in, except for Gohan.

Back on Original Namek, Shenron states that the wish is granted. "NOW, I HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR POWER. I WILL GRANT ONE MORE WISH, AS IT SEEMS THE KAIS HAVE FATED MORE HEARTACHE FOR YOU, WORSE THAN ANYTHING BEFORE. I WILL NOW TAKE YOUR WISH." Goku is delighted and immediately grabs Vegeta and confronts him on what to wish for. Vegeta pushes Goku away, and heads up to Shenron. "Dragon, we wish for the state of the Earth to return to the way it was before the Tuffle Baby corrupted it." Shenron replies, '''"IT IS NEVER AN EASY WISH FROM YOU SAIYANS." '''

His eyes glow darker and at once, Goku and Vegeta feel a shift in the Universe's balance. They thank Shenron, and dismiss him. They return to their ship and punch in the coordinates for Earth, leaving Original Namek for good, excited for the return to Earth.

However, as they leave the planet's Solar System, a huge dust cloud envelopes the planet, and a ringing laugh echoes from it. Within several hours, the planet, along with all the animals and Dragon Balls, are gone.

Return to Terror
"These deer can teach us how precious life is"

- Goku to Pan and Goten

Several months later...

The ship touches down outside the Briefs' house, and everyone rushes out, Pan and Uub pushing to the front of the group. The ship opens and Goku and Vegeta step out. After recovering from the Sun's glare, Goku steps down from the ship's ramp and runs to hug Pan. Vegeta slowly walks back to his family, a strange smile on his face. Bulma, Trunks and Bulla all run to him and leap on him, pinning him to ground. The Z-Fighters all celebrate Goku and Vegeta returning home and after the festivities end, Uub returns to his village for the first time after destroying it in his corrupted state.

Goku settles down, now taking care of Pan due to Gohan still neglecting his family and friends. One day, while out on a picnic with Vegeta and his family, Goku, Goten and Pan wander away to explore the nearby country. While watching some deer, Goku decides to return back, as he is getting hungry. They head back to the picinic site and settle down to eat. When Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks and Bulla decide to leave, a powerful Ki blast barrage rains down on the site, destroying most of the area. Goku and Vegeta act quickly, turning into Super Saiyans and erecting a protective barrier around their families. After ensuring nobody is hurt, they rise above the carnage to confront the being responsible. What they see astonishes them.

A dark purple being, similar in build to Kibito Kai stands there, grinning. It looks up and shoots a stare at Goku. Goku immediately transforms to Super Saiyan 3, as does Vegeta. The being starts laughing and says that it came to the right place after all. Vegeta powers up and demands to know who this being is. The creature then glares at Vegeta and says, "You should know me well. I am the being responsible for everything. I created you, the Saiyans, the Namekians, Serroli. I created the Universe."

Origins of the Universe
"You managed to hurt me!"

- Dark Kai to Goku

"That can't be true... You're lying!" Vegeta charges a Final Flash and fires. The being smirks and takes it full on, barely having a scratch. "It is always a pitiful attack from you Saiyans." Vegeta becomes enraged and fires a volley of Ki blasts, none of them even grazing the being. Goku stops Vegeta and tells the being to continue. It clears its throat and begins.

"My name is Dark Kai. I am the original part of this Universe. I created everything you see around you. I created everything, even the Other World. However, those foolish Namekians, whom I gave too much knowledge, created those damned Dragons and trapped me inside the eighth Dragon Ball. Even though I was trapped, I still had some control over the Universe. I created a being with power rivaling even mine, and sent him to live among the Saiyans. He was Serroli, and I got my revenge as he destroyed those Nameks." Dark Kai stops and gains a mad look in his eye. "Unfortunately, Serroli gained so much power, he discovered how to create energy I had never created, and used this to achieve transformations beyond that of a Super Saiyan 4. These transformations were not available to normal Saiyans. He stopped listening to my word, and never freed me from the Dragon Ball. I lost contact with the Universe after that. Luckily though, you two have finally freed me, and I have come to take vengeance on this Universe."

With that, Dark Kai charges at Goku and creates a sharp blade, intending to slice Goku with it. Goku dodges and fires a Kamehameha. Dark Kai takes it full on, and simply stands there, not hurt at all. Vegeta charges a Crimson Galick Gun and Goku charges a True Kamehameha. They fire simultaneously. When the smoke clears, Dark Kai grins, saying that actually hurt him. This gives Goku an idea and he tells Vegeta to keep Dark Kai occupied. Goku flies high over the area, and locates his and Vegeta family's. After dropping the protective barrier, Goku grabs Goten and Trunks and flies them to the battlefield. After seeing and sensing Dark Kai's power, they both transform to Super Saiyan 3, Goten powering up to Ultra Super Saiyan 3. Suddenly, Vegeta comes flying back at them and is caught by Goten.

The Ultimate Battle Begins
"You're looking at both!"

- Goku to Dark Kai

Vegeta is badly damaged, and tells Goku that Dark Kai is far more powerful than anything they had ever faced before. Goku says that he knows, and bypasses Super Saiyan 4 to Super Saiyan 5. After recovering a little, Vegeta does the same and the four Saiyans stare down Dark Kai. He looks back and tells them that it won't be enough. Goku replies, saying that even if he dies, that won't stop him. They all rush at Dark Kai, blasting, punching and firing Ki blasts. Dark Kai dodges them all, and uses a Kiai to knock all the warriors away. He then says, "Only Serroli or a Super Saiyan 6 is equal to my power. And you four are neither." Goku and Vegeta look at each other and smirk, replying to Dark Kai by saying, "You're looking at both."

Goku and Vegeta space themselves away, and begin to power. The ground starts to shake and light emits from both Saiyan's bodies. The light swallows everything up and eventually, Goku stands there, Super Saiyan 6. The transformation for Vegeta however, is not as short. Lightining starts to split from his body and strike many things in the area, even Dark Kai, and it wounds him. When the lightning stops, and the light clears, two Super Saiyan 6s glare at Dark Kai. "How are you able to do that? Only Serroli should be able to do that!" Dark Kai starts to show fear on his face.

"When we split fom Serroli's body, we learnt many secrets from the experience." Goku stares straight at Dark Kai. "That's impossible! The true Saiyans killed Serroli with the help of Shenron!" Dark Kai starts to gain more confidence, even being so brave as to charge a Ki blast and threaten Goku with it. "Oh, that's what you would think. However, Shenron couldn't kill us and had to split Serroli into two seperate beings. We recently re-fused into him and caused more terror ever imaginable. We know true power and aren't afraid to use it." When Goku finishes his speech, Dark Kai stops charging his Ki blast and instead charges a Death Ball of incredible size. He lets loose and Goku bats it away, knocking it into the Solar System, where it destroys a distant planet.

After commenting on the huge power that had, Goku, Vegeta, Goten and Trunks all leap at Dark Kai, battling him intensely. Dark Kai manages to avoid all of Goten and Trunks' blows but suffers considerably from Goku and Vegeta's. He resorts to teleporting behind the four and knocks Goten and Trunks to the ground. He then punches Vegeta in the back of the head, knocking him out and then grabs his body. Goku stops and asks Dark Kai what he will do. Dark Kai smiles, and throws Vegeta over him. He charges a powerful attack and as Vegeta falls past him, he fires, blasting Vegeta away. However Goku uses this time to charge a Black Kamehameha and lets loose at Dark Kai. He hits the evil creature full on and severly damages him. However, when the smoke clears, Dark Kai stands there, barely harmed at all. Goku is shocked, "This can't be happening. That was the most powerful attack I've ever pulled off."

More Horror
"I am not here for vengeance. I am here for him!"

- Serroli to Goten and Trunks

"My, my. You really have become a lot more powerful than Serroli was when I knew him. That blast had enough potential to destroy a Galaxy. If only I wasn't the most powerful being in the Universe, then you would destroyed me." With that, Dark Kai cups his hands together and begins to charge his own Kamehameha. "Now this is what can be called a Kamehameha!" Dark Kai fires the blast and is met with an attack from Goten. The attack takes Dark Kai by surprise and he aims his Kamehameha into space, harming nothing. Goten then powers up to his advanced state of Ultra Super Saiyan 3 and charges at Dark Kai. The two engage in a fierce battle, though Dark Kai laughs in Goten's face as he dodges the hits. While Goten fights, Goku hovers down to his and Vegeta's families.

He tells Bulla to take Bulma somewhere safe and Pan to do the same with Chi-Chi. Pan defies Goku, saying that this new guy will be a piece of cake. Goku grabs her and shakes her, saying that Pan could not be further from the truth and that sort of attitude will get her killed. Pan quiets up and lifts Chi-Chi up. Before she heads off, Goku tells her to gather the Earth's Special Forces. Pan nods and heads away. Goku gets up and heads over to Trunks. Upon seeing Trunks, Goku grabs him and tells him to battle as hard as he can. Vegeta lands beside them and says to Goku that he has been watching Goten and Dark Kai fight, saying that Dark Kai hasn't even started to tire.

Goku curses and looks up. He sees Goten do a lazy punch, with Dark Kai taking advantage, delivering a powerful blow to his jaw. Goku tells Vegeta they have no other choice and Vegeta agrees. All three fly up to where Goten battles Dark Kai. Trunks interrupts the battle and Dark Kai asks what is going on. Goku shouts that they have no other choice. The two distance about a metre between them and start to power up to their limit. An energy barrier erects about them and they shout, '''"SERROLI." '''Light obscures the area. Dark Kai looks incredibly afraid and fires several Ki blasts in to the light. They all get deflected back.

The light clears and Serroli grins at them. He looks at Goten and Trunks and says, "I remember you two." When the two brace themselves for battle, Serroli laughs and says, "Don't worry, I am not the same Serroli now. I am of the light. No, I haven't come for vengeance, I have come to destroy this filth!" He looks at Dark Kai, who scrambles away. "You created me and now you are afraid to face me. Kai, you have grown weak!" Serroli teleports in front of Dark Kai and fires a Decimating Ball in his face. Dark Kai gets thrown into the atmosphere. There, he charges a Death Ball the size of a planet. "No one, not even Serroli will be able to protect the Universe from this!" yells Dark Kai. Serroli laughs and charges a Decimating Ball several times smaller. Both warriors fire the ball and they collide. They stay solitary for several moments, only Dark Kai pushing, then Serroli's ball takes charge, batting the Death Ball away. The Decimating Ball blasts into Dark Kai, sending him spiraling away from the Earth. Within seconds however, he teleports back, even angrier than before.

Battle for the Universe
"Just try to battle me and your past enemies at once!"

- Dark Kai to the Z-Fighters

Dark Kai growls and prepares a Super Explosive Wave. Serroli grabs Goten and Trunks and erects a protective barrier around them. Dark Kai unleashes the energy and it destroys the surrounding area, rendering it to a wasteland. Serroli steps out of the protective area and laughs at Dark Kai, calling him a useless thing. Suddenly, the words, "Neo Tri-Beam!" are heard and Tien releases a devastating blow upon Dark Kai. Dark Kai swivels his head around at the newly appeared warrior and smiles, charging a Ki blast. Tien fires another Tri-Beam and Dark Kai releases the blast. The two balls of energy head straight for each other, until Serroli teleports between them. Both attacks hit him and Serroli is covered in smog.

When it clears, Serroli tells Tien to wait until he tells him to fight. Tien nods, sensing Goku's presence in the Saiyan god. Serroli turns to Dark Kai who has anger written all over his face. Dark Kai demands to know why he stopped the two beams, and Serroli tells him that it was unnecessary destruction. Serroli then charges a Final Flash and teleports behind Dark Kai, unleashing at his back. Dark Kai gets blasted away but stops himself and says to Serroli that he has all the means necessary to take him down. Dark Kai starts to close his eyes and creates odd symbols out of thin air. Within seconds, a portal is created and Frieza, Cell, Kid Buu, Baby, Super 17 and Omega Shenron are thrown through. Serroli laughs and asks Dark Kai why he called in such weak allies. Dark Kai smirks and orders all the old villains to attack Tien. As they rush towards him, a Super Spirit Ball is thrown at Frieza's back, and he gets destroyed instantly.

Serroli smiles as Yamcha approaches. Serroli then decides to let Goten and Trunks help in bringing down the old foes. A Dodon Ray is fired at Cell, who knocks it shrugs it off. Chiaotzu enters the fray. Suddenly, Krillin and Android 18 appear, both charging Destructo Disks. As the Z-Fighters fight the villains from the past, Serroli and Dark Kai get ready for their real battle. They both smile at each other, then charge. Serroli gets the first hit, cracking the evil Kai's head with his fist. Dark Kai staggers back, and coughs up blood. He smile, saying it had been a long time since he had last bled. He then tells Serroli that he is about to be majorly out-classed. Serroli is perplexed, but steps back.

Dark Kai starts breathing heavily, then starts screaming. All the fighters stop and watch the evil thing. His muscles expand at an alarming rate, and his chest bursts open, revealing a larger body underneath. His legs ripple and enlarge themselves incredibly. Serroli smiles, saying, "Incredible." Dark Kai continues, deafening those about the area. Eventually, he calms. As he flexes his new body, he says to everyone, "This is the power with which I created the Universe with. This is the Ultimate Transformation!"

Darkness
"I will turn everything to darkness!"

- Dark Kai

"Now Serroli, watch as I tear you apart!" Ultimate Dark Kai rushes at Serroli with intense speed and dissapears. He re-appears again behind Serroli and gives a swift hit in the back of the neck. Serroli gets knocked out and falls to the ground. Dark Kai lowers himself so he is standing next to Serroli and tells him that it was his fault he is about to die. Serroli lies there, unmoving, then thrusts a hand into Dark Kai's face. Serroli stands up, and charges a Decimating Ball in Dark Kai's face. He then brings his hand around and places it on the Dark Kai's back. He charges another Decimating Ball and fires both, severly injuring the evil being. Dark Kai then picks himself up and says that attack did nothing. Serroli tells Dark Kai that he expected no less from the mighty deity who created everything.

Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters manage to take out Frieza and Cell. Tien, Yamcha, Krillin and Android 18 all battle Kid Buu while Super Saiyan 3 Trunks fights Baby and Goten battles Omega Shenron while Chiaotzu hangs back. Super 17 is causing more unnecessary destruction when suddenly, a portal from Hell opens and Piccolo steps out. He takes one look at the battefield, removes his armour and rushes at Super 17. The Z-Fighters finish off Kid Buu and head towards Super 17. He starts to take advantage, until a shout is heard and a Chocolate Kamehameha is fired at the Android. Uub heads to the area, picks up the chocolate 17 and eats him. The Z-Fighters turn their attantion to Omega Shenron who, by stroke of luck bats Goten to the ground, knocking him out. As he advances on the warriors, a Super Flashing Kamehameha hits him dead on the back. Everyone turns to look at Gohan, who arrives on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Dark Kai backs away from Serroli and tells him that the longer he stays free, his powers return to him quicker. Dark Kai charges his power and yells some dark incantations. There is a screech of noise, a flash of light, and Serroli splits into Goku and Vegeta again. "What did you do?" yells Goku and Dark Kai tells him that he can disobey certain laws of the Universe. Vegeta is furious and attempts to land a Galick Flash on the creature. Goku tries a different technique and starts to draw his energy in. Eventually, Dark Kai comes close, dodging Vegeta's attacks. Goku unleashes his move and yells, "DRAGON FIST!" Dark Kai gets distracted and looks over just in time to see Goku charging at him. Goku draws back his fist, and drives into the stomach of Dark Kai. Dark Kai gets pushed back until he can resist no further, and Goku drives through, bursting a hole through his chest. Dark Kai staggers and curses. Goku keeps on going, and hits Omega Shenron in the middle of the chest. Omega Shenron dies and Goku wheels around to see.

Dark Kai screams a wordless scream and leaps high into the air. He announces that he can do things to hurt the Universe, without inflicting physical pain. He draws himself into a ball, and the light in the area dims. After several minutes, it is pitch black and Dark Kai laughs. He heals uses the light the heal his body and states that there is no longer any light in the Universe. He then says that he can see as if it was day and rushes off. Goku and Vegeta both laugh and tell that Dark Kai must have forgotten about the senses of Saiyans and how they are very finley tuned. They then head off in an unintelligble direction, leaving the remaing Z-Fighters to find their own way to the final battlefield.

The Power of the Saiyans
"You could learn from us Dark Kai"

- Goku and Vegeta

Goku and Vegeta find Dark Kai firing Ki blasts at an ignorant city. When the two Saiyans arrive, Dark Kai stops and asks them how they found him. Goku smirks and says that Saiyans have more finely tuned senses than he thinks. Dark Kai mutters something, then rushes at Vegeta. Vegeta dodges and delivers a punch to Dark Kai which drives him to the ground. Tien arrives and Goku asks him to keep Dark Kai ocuppied for several seconds while he and Vegeta get ready. Tien agrees, with out questioning and prepares a Spirit Neo Tri-Beam. He fires and starts to severly injure himself while Goku and Vegeta ready themselves.

They scream out to Dark Kai that they learnt many things inside Serroli and he gave them a much needed power boost. Dark Kai and Tien stop and listen. Vegeta then tells Dark Kai and everyone in the city to watch closely. They start to charge their energy and the intensity of the screaming heightens. Slowly, bit by bit, a speck of light is created, in between the two Saiyans. This light starts to grow bigger and soon, the two bodies of Goku and Vegeta are seen. Dark Kai watches in amazement, horror growing on his face.

The light patch grows, and soon several more Z-Fighters find the area. Bit by bit, the light grows and the city appears from the darkness. When Earth's Special Forces discover Goku and Vegeta starting to tire, they join the group and start charging too. Soon, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Goten, Trunks, Gohan, Chiaotzu, Pan and Uub are all lined up in a row, charging power with the two True Saiyans. Soon, the whole Solar System is glowing and Goku and Vegeta are super-charged. They head to Dark Kai who announces that he still has more power than the two Super Saiyan 6's.

The Ultimate Technique
"Let's finish this!"

- Vegeta to the Z-Fighters

"I don't believe you." Goku smirks at Dark Kai. "If that were true, you would look and sound a lot more confident and your powerlevel wouldn't be below ours." Dark Kai has a look of horror on his face and backs away slowly. "No, no that's impossible! You cannot have more power than the Creator of the Universe!" Dark Kai grows angry and charges a powerful Vaishing Ball. He throws it at Goku who counters with a Black Kamehameha. The Black Kamehameha overpowers the Vanishing Ball almost instantly, and shrouds Dark Kai in an energy ball. Dark Kai looks around him and curls into a ball. Vegeta charges a Galick Flash and adds his own energy to the sphere surrounding Dark Kai.

Goku shouts to the watching Z-Fighters to pool their energies and fire their own attacks. Suddenly new energy comes from all directions. A Special Beam Cannon, Spirit Ball, Tri-Beam, Dodon Ray, Destructo Disc and many more attacks all hit the sphere. It grows and soon Dark Kai is invisible inside. Goku tells them all to stop and he and Vegeta take full control of the energy. They release it, and a huge explosion sounds, deafening everything for miles around. Bright lights fills the area and Goku can no longer feel Dark Kai's energy.

He doesn't power down however, having learned from the battle with Buu. Instead, he tells Vegeta to stay in his Heightened Super Saiyan 6 form, and searches around the area. He eventually finds no body and relaxes slightly. Several members of the city come out from their hiding spots. They applaud Goku and the Z-Fighters, screaming joy. Suddenly, a huge crash is heard and a huge energy ball swoops past, killing the citizens. Goku is outraged and looks up to see Dark Kai incredibly damaged. Goku cannot contain his anger and screams out, charging a Super Dragon Black Kamehameha.

The Beginning of the End
"We need it now more than ever!"

- Goku to the people of the Universe

Goku fires the Super Dragon Black Kamehameha. He follows the dangerous beam, and as soon as it hits Dark Kai, he drives through with a Super Dragon Fist. Dark Kai waits until Goku is just before him, then uses a Super Explosive Wave. Goku is thrown back into a building. A large flash is seen, and Goku tumbles out of the building, reverted back to his base form. Vegeta stares and asks Goku why he reverted back so quickly. Goku replies that he probably used too much energy with the Super Dragon Black Kamehameha. Vegeta starts to tell him that was foolish, but gets a fist in the gut from Dark Kai. Vegeta slumps to the ground and looks at Goku. Goku tells Vegeta that they only have one more hope. Vegeta agrees and says he will stall Dark Kai.

He rises to his feet in agony. Dark Kai doesn't do anything, then fires several powerballs of huge size. They destroy much of the city and one lands on Vegeta's back. Vegeta screams out in pain and flies high in the sky. He charges a Final Flash, and fires. Dark Kai retaliates with a Decimating Ball and the two beams enter a deadlock beam-struggle. Being pre-occupied with the beam struggle, Dark Kai doesn't notice Goku rise high into the air behind him.

Goku raises his hands and shouts out to the people of the city. "Give me your energy, and I promise to destroy this foul being forever. All you must do is raise your hands. We don't have much time!" Several small balls of power head towards Goku and soon a small ball of intense energy is formed above his hands. Dark Kai hears the shouts but doesn't pull out of the struggle. Goku gathers all the energy he can from the city and goes to his friends. They all contribute as much energy as they can, and the ball of power grows. Goku then yells across the Earth, telling them to raise their hands to the sky. Slowly, the ball increases in size and power.

Goku knows the energy from Earth will not be enough and tells King Kai to let him speak to the Universe. Suddenly, Supreme Kai and Elder Kai appear before him. They tell Goku to keep going and that they will gather energy from the Other World as well. Goku smiles, finally seeing a ray of hope. He soon shouts out to King Kai and finds he is talking to the Universe once more. "Everyone, we need your energy. I know most of you are shrouded in darkness, but if you simply raise your hands, I will bring light back to the Universe!" The ball grows bigger and bigger until it blocks out the sun and finally, the Ultimate Spirit Bomb is resting in Goku's hands.

Goku Fires the Spirit Bomb
"You're better than that, Vegeta!"

- Goku to Vegeta

Dark Kai sees an opening in the beam struggle with Vegeta and takes it. Instead of using the oppurtunity to gain the upperhand, Dar Kai teleports away and Vegeta's Final Flash drives into the ground and destroys a large portion of the Earth around them. Dark Kai turns to look at Goku and sees the Spirit Bomb in his hands. He smiles and says that he has his own variation of the move. He cups his hands and soon a huge ball of energy is clasped within his grasp. He puts his hands above his head and a dark red ball takes shape. "This is the technique I used to create this Universe with! I will wipe away this one, and create a new one where I have complete control! I will not create Namekians or Serroli again! I will not make that mistake! I call this attack the Ball of Evil!" Goku looks at Dark Kai and smiles to himself on the inside, knowing he finally has enough power. He pulls his hands backwards and prepares to throw the Spirit Bomb. Dark Kai does likewise and they both release.

An almighty spark is heard as the two energy giants collide. Lightning erupts from the two Balls and everything underneath the massive energy is swept aside. Dark Kai smirks as his red attack starts to overpower the Spirit Bomb and Goku looks on in horror. He struggles intensely and futilely until Vegeta steps up to help. Vegeta is incredibly damaged, and has reverted back to his normal form. He shows no pain however and charges up a Final Flash. He fires and the Spirit Bomb spurs forward with more power. Dark Kai outs forth more energy and the Ball of Evil takes the advantage again. Goku charges a Kamehameha and fires it, pushing the Sprit Bomb into control, and turning it into a Spirit Kamehameha

Dark Kai grows furious and charges a Decimating Ball. He fires it into the mass of growing energy and soon takes control again. Goku and Vegeta pour as much energy into the Spirit Kamehameha as they can but find they have run out of energy. They start to give up and Dark Kai pushes the energy further towards the two heroes. Vegeta stops and retracts his Final Flash, knowing they are about to lose. Goku stares in anger at him and starts to shout that he gave in too easily. Vegeta starts crying and asking what's the point. Goku stares in disbelief and says that a true Saiyan wouldn't give up so easily. Vegeta stares at Goku and says there never were any true Saiyans and that Dark Kai is the only true anything. Goku looks at the seething mass of power heading his way and tells Vegeta that, "Even if Dark Kai is the only true anything, we have the power to defeat him and become the True Saiyans!" Vegeta isn't moved by this speech. Suddenly, Dende appears.

He says there isn't much time and begins healing them. He heals Vegeta first, then Goku. Goku, now fully healed, puts more power into the Spirit Kamehameha. He says to Vegeta that there is one thing he knows he cares about. Vegeta lifts his head and looks at Goku. Goku tells him that Bulma, Trunks and Bulla would all be gone and Dark Kai would have won. This gets through to Vegeta and he silently gets up and releases another Final Flash. "Awesome, Vegeta! You're really something!" Goku turns back to the horror facing them and starts counting down from ten. Vegeta smiles and joins in. When they reach zero, they both transform into Super Saiyan and push the attacks even harder.

This takes Dark Kai completely by surprise and the Spirit Kamehameha, coupled with the Ball of Evil rockets towards him. It hits him and a huge flash of light blinds everything and the energy overspill lights up the rest of Universe. Dark Kai's screams fill the ears of all those in the Universe and deafens the humans still alive in the city below. After the intense effect of the Spirit Kamehameha, everything turns black but clears up after several minutes. The chaos clears and Goku and Vegeta see a small wisp of smoke where Dark Kai stood, which then flutters away. Goku and Vegeta smile, then burst out laughing, tears of joy streaming down their faces. The citizens of the city come out and start to wildly applaud the two great heroes. They float to the ground where they are surrounded by everyone and then swamped by their families and the Z-Fighters. They laugh and finally know that the evil and terror is over for good.

Peace
"If we deserve one thing, it's peace"

- Goku

Several hours later, the Z-Fighters are at the Lookout and Goku and Vegeta are fully healed. Master Roshi starts speaking to Goku, saying that he had really come a long way since that day when he had to find a pretty girl for him in order to recieve training. Suddenly, Supreme Kai and Elder Kai both appear. They are both grinning and cheer when they see Goku stand up to come greet them. Vegeta follows and Supreme Kai takes them a little way off the group. They begin talking and the watching Z-Fighters see Goku and Vegeta start to grin immensely.

They return to the group and Goku says he has some big news to tell everyone. Supreme Kai stops him beforehand and says that he had better say it. Goku agrees and lets Supreme Kai stand up. Supreme Kai looks at everyone then says, "I watched Goku and Vegeta's fight with Dark Kai. It is a great shame that he was released but he is now gone forever. I feel that the only reward I can give these two is one that is not a true reward, not material objects but a great responsibility. I have offered it to these two and they accepted. I now ask you all of you before me who helped to defeat the great menaces to this Universe. I am giving up my title of Grand Supreme Kai and I have decided that the only beings worthy of taking it are all of you. If you accept, you must fend for the Universe forever. You will given the lifespan of a Kai and the extra powers we obtain. Do you all accept?"

A moment of silence is heard, then shouts of hysteria. Supreme Kai smiles and says he is glad that they accepted the offer. He then tells all those taking the title to stand in a circle around him. He draws himself in a purple barrier is erected around him and the Z-Fighters. A bang is heard and soon all the Z-Fighters are staring at their hands, feeling their new power. "Don't get any ideas!" Goku shouts as he thanks Supreme Kai. "We could both put you all well in your place!" shouts Vegeta. The Z-Fighters all laugh and a small party is started.

Several hours in, Goku says to Vegeta that it's time. They stand and say to their families taht a little show is going to be put on. They float several kilometres away from the Lookout and say to the Z-Fighters, "We have never had a proper re-match! I think we finally deserve one!" With that, they transform to Super Saiyan and charge at each other. Bulma and Chi-Chi groan and everyone laughs. They settle back to watch the fight. Goku and Vegeta are both smiling and draw back their fists. They charge forward even faster and finally release. A huge crack is heard and Goku and Vegeta are seen fist to fist in mid-air. Everyone laughs at how ridiculous the two look and Goku and Vegeta move back.

They both charge beams and fire. The two collide and everyone sees that they are having the time of their lives.

End
"Goodbye everyone!"

- Goku to his family and friends remaining on Earth

Several months later...

Goku and the Z-Fighters have packed up and are ready to leave. The only Z-Fighters not leaving are Gohan and Pan. Gohan decides to stay behind to care for Videl and Chi-Chi and Pan is told to stay behind so that there can be someone to protect the Earth in the absence of the Z-Fighters. As they start to leave, Hercule walks up to Goku and says, "You're the best there is! I'll say that you saved the people of Earth from Dark Kai at my next public appearance." Goku looks at him and says that it isn't neccesary but Hercule says that he had been taking the credit for far too long. Goku smiles and says to everyone that they're off. Chi-Chi and Bulma start crying and Goku and Vegeta walk up to them. Goku says that he will come back to visit her and Vegeta does the same.

Dende wanders over to the remaining people and says, "As a parting gift, Goku has restored the Dragon Balls! Howeve, we can only use one wish every century now." A half-hearted cheer goes up and Bulma starts to get a look in her eye. "I remember when I first heard of the Balls. So young." Everyone quiets for a moment then Mr. Popo says that the Z-Fighters had better get going.

Goku and Vegeta head back to the group and Goku puts his hand to his head to use the Instant Transmission. "Goodbye, everyone!" he says and suddenly the group disappears. Pan runs to where they were and says that she misses them already. Gohan walks up to her and crouches down next to her. "So do I Pan. But we must remember that they have a whole Universe to protect now." Pan starts to cry and Gohan hugs her. He looks up at the sky and whispers that the Z-Fighters had better return one day.

Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters land on the Kai's Planet. Goku looks around and sees Supreme Kai's crystal ball. He looks into it and sees Gohan comforting Pan. He then turns ound and says to all the Z-Fighters, "This is our home now. From here we can know if evil ever returns to the Universe." Vegeta walks up to Goku and says that he's going to train. Goku laughs and says he'll join him and soon the Z-Fighters are in a huge training battle. It rages for several hours until Goku and Vegeta are the only ones fighting. Goku finally gets a blow on Vegeta and he goes down. Goku stares at Vegeta and starts laughing. All the Z-Fighters start to laugh and suddenly Goku rises out of the group and stares at the sky.

He looks around then breaks into a huge grin, knowing that true evil will never return.
