Gogeta barely wasted a moment and charged Kaa, who looked eager for his next opponent. He was blown down from a multi-hit combo that was much too fast to see. I wasn’t even sure if it hadn’t actually been Gogeta’s energy that overwhelmed him, but then he got up, sporting several dents in his chest. Gogeta punched him harshly the instant he was up, and then let him have a roundhouse kick right in the chops. His head turned halfway around as he fell backwards. As he gathered himself, Gogeta had a blast waiting with his name on it. The energy coming from the small blast was incredible to say the least, and he seemed to let Kaa get up so he could see his own death coming. Kaa responded by trying to powerup, but didn’t come close to the fused Super Saiyan in terms of power. Gogeta suddenly reduced the amount of power in his hand once Kaa had topped out, and I really wasn’t sure why. He fired and hit Kaa dead on, lighting up the area with a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, I sensed and then saw Kaa slowly recovering, but far from easily.

I scowled immediately, “Why did you hold back?”

“For a good reason that you will understand soon,” he said simply. It was by no means a cocky remark, thus throwing out the idea that maybe the fusion had skewed his judgment like much it had with Vegito. Kaa was extremely rattled and his ki level had taken a plunge. That’s when I noticed bones and muscles sticking out on various parts of his body, the green skin was missing. Kaa shouted out a battle cry and charged Gogeta slowly, missing badly on a punch and paying for it when he was kicked sharply in the head. Another strong blast followed him to the ground, and he got up missing even more of his skin. Gogeta held up one finger and started taking pop-shots once Kaa was up. Kaa blocked against the potent energy blasts, but was unable to do anything when they hit whatever skin was still intact. Soon he was nothing but a skeleton with bloody muscles and ligaments clinging to his bones. I even saw his heart beating, very slowly that is. Gogeta stopped once the green skin was off, apparently hesitating for a moment. Kaa dropped into a power up stance and started to regain some power from his victims just like before.

Gogeta glanced back at me, “It’s up to you now!” Up to me, you’re the one that is owning him. Oh of course, now that the demon skin is gone I can use anything I want on him. He must mean I need to nail him while he’s powering up to reverse the effect. That explains why he’s been holding back. I grinned and nodded, charging up a white Psi blast. Kaa glanced upwards just as he finished his power up, his eyes locked on me.

“Take this you. Feedback!” I shouted, throwing the small bomb and guiding it like a missile. Kaa didn’t look quite as eager to stand up to this one, but he likely sensed that there wasn’t that much energy behind it either. It struck and lit him up like a Christmas tree. An erratic blue-white aura sprang up as he grabbed his head, and then it started shooting off random energy shots into the air before they vanished into the clouds and down to hell. I instantly sensed the zombies below return to normal as they regained their minds and spirits. Kaa continued to scream as his power level plummeted and more spirits were released, until he finally bottomed out as the feedback effect ran dry.

“It’s done, all of his victims are now returning to normal, he has lost,” Gogeta said as I walked up with him to Kaa’s fallen form. I cringed and growled slightly, powering up a finishing blast in my hand.

Gogeta stepped in front of me to stop the attack, “No son, there is no honor or justice in taking revenge on one who is defeated. This demon can no longer carry out his plans, we have beaten him!” I scowled deeply and powered down my blast, he was right and I didn’t need to sink to that level. I glanced down and saw that Kaa had a beginning of a claw growing on his left arm, the one I had chopped off first.

“We can’t let him recover though, he can take souls again if he gets his claws back!” I pointed out.

“I’m sure the Kais have a method of containing a demon like this,” Gogeta suggested, glancing towards them.

“And there we have the problem, Babidi released that demon from a sealed dungeon. It happened once and it can happen again. I would hate to ask you to commit murder Goku, but this creature must not be allowed to live on. Destroy it while you have the chance!” Kibitoshin suggested as he landed. Gogeta glanced at him with a frown before turning back to Kaa. Kaa had finally gotten some of his bearings back and was walking towards us slowly, trying to hold an arm and shoulder together. He pushed hard and it popped back into place and he grinned slightly, looking much more sinister now that he didn’t have a face. His left claw extended outwards about six inches and he ran towards us full sprint.

“You may want to step back,” Gogeta said suddenly as his aura flashed into view. I floated backwards a bit, almost being pushed by Gogeta’s sudden powerup. He stretched out both hands, overloading them with energy as a bright blue ball appeared before him. Kaa ran straight into the attack that ended his existence.

“BIG BANG KAMEHAMEHA!” The ball changed into a violent rush of blue ki, all directed at Kaa. I cannot describe the explosion that followed as I was forced to close my eyes and cover my face, but I was very surprised to see that snake way had stayed intact in its aftermath. I could barely measure the power output from it, but it made me feel pretty pathetic. There was nothing left of Kaa when it cleared, and I let out a sigh of relief in knowing that nightmare was over.

Several minutes passed before anyone said or did anything, though witnessing such an incredible display of raw power will do that to you. Gogeta stood still and held his gaze on the dust that was scattered and blowing around on snake way, almost as if giving his respects to a fallen warrior. I didn’t share his sense of honor in that department, he hadn’t been around for the entire show. He emitted a bright light suddenly before it separated into two bright lights, reforming themselves into Goku and Vegeta.

“Now that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Goku asked.

“Humph, for once your fusion wasn’t a complete waste,” Vegeta grunted as they walked towards me and Kibitoshin.

“Thanks for the help,” I said with a grin.

“You must attract strange creatures like the plague, boy! I heard the last one was a real pain and that you actually had to rely on Frieza and Cell to give you a hand. How desperate can a Saiyan like you get?” Vegeta asked with his own smirk. What it really meant is he wanted the details, much like his father.

“Something like that, let’s just say I beat him with a technique that between the three of us only Goku and I can do,” I said, hinting at what I had learned lately.

“Oh please, anything Kakarot can do, I can do. Must I prove this to you? What is it, that worthless Kaioken attack? Or that cowardly teleportation?” Vegeta asked with pride.

“Neither, and I’m pretty sure you can’t hit me a Spirit Bomb!” I dared. Vegeta’s eyes looked like they had glazed over for a second as he jaw slipped. He recovered quickly and turned the other way, grumbling.

“You know how to do a spirit bomb now? Awesome!” Goku said with glee, increasing the frown on Vegeta’s face.

“Well, I’m learning some other new stuff, I’ll be happy to spar you when you guys wish me back to Earth. So I guess I’ll see you in about five months,” I said.

“Yeah, we probably should get back now that the crises is over, Chichi won’t be happy if I’m late for dinner!” Goku said with a face of slight dread.

“Hey, hold on, how’s Gohan doing?” Videl shouted as she and Lenz ran up.

“Gohan’s been slightly sick lately, probably just nerves from being away from home for so long. He was feeling better once we teleported back to Earth. And who are you?” Goku asked, giving Lenz the look over. Vegeta was glaring a hole right through her, and she shuddered slightly as she bowed.

“I take it you are the Rotian girl?” Vegeta asked as Lenz quickly nodded, her purple hair dripping in jittery sweat.

“Hmph, you’ll likely fit in fine on Earth. All right then, here’s your opportunity to get your life back. Achieve the level of Super Saiyan, and I might think about allowing you to stay on Earth, we may need your information and skills in time. I suggest you train her hard, boy!” Vegeta said as he turned to me.

“What about my people?” Lenz asked.

Vegeta glanced at Kibito and momentarily paused, “They will be taken care of. “Let’s go Kakarot!” Vegeta said as he vanished along with Goku. What was that all about? I scowled slightly, he had not only been unusually vague, but he had also just given me something to do other than my own training for the next five months.

“I see he is as moody as ever,” Old Kai said from behind.

“Yeah, never changes,” I muttered.

“So you’re going to train me?” Lenz asked, sounding quite surprised.

“Looks like it,” I said, not pleased about the whole thing.

“No offense, but your half my age and half my height. It will look ridiculous being trained by someone who just got out of diapers! I wasn’t kidding when I said you looked like my little brother, only I’d say you’re even shorter!” she whined.

I growled a bit in response, “Oh yeah? You look like a slut who’s been around the block about half a million times!” I fired back.

“Why you little…” she began.

“Now now, that’s enough children, no need to be vulgar! Verto, we need you to come with us for a little while, everyone else may get back to his or her place, as I’m sure King Yemma has paperwork to do by now,” Old Kai said, looking amused as I heard Yemma pounding his desk not far away.

“Okay, what do you need to warn me about now?” I asked, recognizing a pattern.

“Just a few things to iron out, nothing major,” Old Kai said as Kibitoshin grabbed both our shoulders.

-

Once on the Supreme Kai’s world, Kibito teleported away once again, mentioning that he needed to help in the cleanup effort and to get everyone back to where they needed to be. Old Kai suggested I take a seat on the ground, though I chose to remain standing as he paced for a moment.

“So what do you want to tell me?” I asked, getting impatient quickly.

“You should be nicer to that girl Lenz, she hasn’t had an easy life you know!” he said.

“Yeah, I’ve heard the story with her people and Frost, I understand that. I haven’t exactly had much fun lately either. However, if she thinks that I’m just going to take her bullshit, then she had better think again. She’s lucky that I’m not Vegeta, otherwise she would be dust by now,” I said, crossing my arms.

“Well, that’s not all of it. She has a very strange energy signature and there is certainly something about her she hasn’t mentioned yet,” Old Kai pointed out.

“And what do you suppose that is?” I asked.

“I’m not sure, but her energy signature, or at least the one we are sensing, is similar to your own,” he said, unsure as he stared at the ground and paused for a moment.

He snapped out of it once I stomped the ground once and left cracks, “Well, are you going to spill the beans or not?”

“We aren’t sure what this means, therefore we have nothing to tell you. The only similarity you two should have is the Saiyan thing,” he explained briefly.

“That doesn’t help me any, should I be extremely concerned about this or what? I didn’t really notice much when we first met, granted I was also exhausted at the time,” I said.

“Judging by her current power and attitude, I would say no. Perhaps it is nothing after all, but it is extremely hard for me to figure out her puzzle,” he said, scratching his chin.

“You probably can’t figure her out because you were too busy drooling,” I noted with a slight smirk. The red that appeared on his decrepit face confirmed that.

“Well, what’s the fun in being immortal if you can’t take a peek once in awhile?” he asked with a nervous grin.

“Back to the point, why can’t you just read her mind or something?” I asked, refocusing my glare.

“I tried that, there was nothing out of place there either,” he said, looking stumped.

“Well I would guess then that you are worried about nothing,” I replied.

“Maybe so, but in my line or work you must be cautious about everything!” he exclaimed.

“You actually work when you’re not interfering with our lives? I’d pay to see that,” I chuckled.

“Argh, speaking of work, I want you to go ahead and train the girl and see if she has the same potential as yourself,” Old Kai ordered.

“I’ve already sensed her potential, it isn’t there,” I said. “I recall a small brat doubting himself not long ago, power is only hidden until its time to unleash it. The girl is strong willed, but has much to learn. While taking to your own studies and training, it will give you something to do. I also highly doubt that she is as unique as you, but I imagine you can get another Super Saiyan to emerge before you head back to Earth with the others. Watch over her as teacher would a student,” Old Kai said with a beaming grin.

I rolled my eyes slightly, “All right, I suppose I can put up with her for that long. But once we’re wished back to life, she’s on her own!”

“We’ll see if you still feel that way then. Think of it as a way to get to know her and to help yourself grow as a warrior. They say that the final lesson is teaching another,” Old Kai said as he opened his comic again.

“Something’s is bugging me though, when Lenz asked about her people, she wasn’t given a straight answer. What is up with that?” I asked.

Old Kai paused notably just like Vegeta had done, “Do not concern yourself with them for now. Vegeta simply wants to wait until Frost’s forces have moved out of the area before they wish back that planet. We could move them to an entirely new planet, or even Earth, but that would be interfering with other cultures far more than necessary. By the way, now that you and Fasha are separated, we will be sealing her in stasis along with the other Saiyans,” he said, attempting to dodge the rest of his answer.

“May I ask why?” I asked, somewhat satisfied with his explanation.

“Certainly. While they are here, they run the risk of further damage to this reality as well as their own. That is why we planned on locking them all into stasis until it was time for them to return to their dimension. We have had very close shaves with paradoxes already and don’t need anymore of them sprouting up. They can be quite messy as you can imagine. As for why now, she requested it on her own. I guess she wanted to pass the time faster, not really sure about that, women can be strange sometimes,” he explained. Trust me, I know all about that. She must want to make this split official and give me the time to adjust to it. I certainly won’t get used to the idea with her around.

“Whatever the reason, Kibito is taking care of that right now, as well as getting Pikkon and the others out of hell and to a medical facility. This Kaa creature certainly could have caused more damage. I must say I am impressed with how you handled that beast,” Old Kai said with pride.

“Yeah, I was running away half the damn time, really impressive,” I said, dripping with sarcasm.

“And it helped you win in the long run. I don’t necessarily mean all of your actions. You rushed into it a little fast despite the warnings from Dabura, but you adjusted when things didn’t go your way, and you showed signs of being a team leader out there when things were at their toughest. You knew you needed help from Goku and Vegeta and took steps to contact them. Try not to dwell on your shortcomings, not many would have faired so well against Kaa, including us Kais. While I disagree with retreating to the Saiyan Kingdom, it worked out for the best, and it doesn’t seem you had any other choice at the time. Your power has gone up a bit, and you eventually defeated the monster without making any of the mistakes you made previously, that is a admirable accomplishment!” he said, trying to make light of the past few days.

“Yeah I suppose your right,” I replied.

“Now then, you should concentrate on improving your skills both mentally and physically during the rest of your stay. I doubt there is much more Dabura or anyone else can teach you right now,” he said as he knelt down beside a teakettle that was steaming. I wrinkled my nose slightly as I nodded, getting a fresh whiff of that horrible smelling tea that he was drinking.

“You may train as you like until Kibito gets back,” he said, pulling out a comic book. I stared at him hard for a few minutes before he finally looked back up. “What is it?” he asked.

“Is there anything else I need to know?” I asked carefully.

He hesitated for a few seconds, “Nothing that would be, prudent at this time!” he quickly said before plunging his nose into the comic.

“Translation: I can’t tell you,” I thought towards him purposefully. Old Kai never answered that one aside from a slight nervous sweat trickling down the side of his face.
