Chapter 40: The Terror of the Virus


“So, care to tell me what is so funny, I’m afraid I didn’t catch the joke,” I said with a frown as Viro continued to laugh.

“Its just that you have just lost this battle. The funny thing is that you don’t even know it yet. I imagine you will shortly,” Viro grinned. Oh yeah, definitely up to something. Time to burn him.

I lifted an eyebrow in response, “Your jokes are about as good as your tactics so far. I’d like to see you prove that,” I said as I beckoned him to attack.

“That I will!” he shouted as he charged towards me. I grinned slightly and lifted a single hand, charging a weak but positively charged Chi ball. Viro slowed when he saw the bright blue ball of energy, and stopped with slight look of concern.

“What’s wrong, you were so confident a moment ago?” I asked. Viro didn’t answer, and even backed up a step when I started charging another small energy ball with my other hand.

“It seems I underestimated your abilities,” Viro muttered aloud.

“You’ve only joined the club of villains that I’ve taken down. Now eat this! Spirit Bomb!” I shouted as I launched the first ball at him. Viro jumped into the air, narrowly avoiding the first one. I managed to keep my next grin down as I started charging up my right hand again. As Viro watched the mini-Spirit bomb fly away, I fired the other one at a slow pace just as I formed my sword again. Okay, I’ll bet he teleports behind me this time. Viro gasped and used instant transmission to avoid the second one, and reappeared just a few feet away, as I expected him too. I swung into him just as he stopped in surprise. I sensed a desperate energy wave form in his hand, and his Psi sword formed just in the nick of time, but at an odd angle, which gave me the advantage. Viro struggled as I pushed hard towards him, and was frozen in place knowing that I would cut him apart if he tried anything too sudden. I grinned and cast my hand out, using my power to draw one of the spirit bombs back towards us from behind. Viro saw this coming and prepare to jump back just as it would hit him. Instead I pulled it closer and allowed it to surge through my body and through the sword. My sword temporarily turned white before moving into Viro’s blue blade and giving him quite a shock. He dropped his energy sword quickly just as the bomb ran out of energy, very lucky that the feedback effect didn’t get him as he stared at his hands in relief. I jumped on the chance and rushed a knee into his gut before punching him hard in the face with a backhand, sending him flying backwards with my non-sword hand. I’ve got him. I quickly reabsorbed my sword and powered up my two fingers as I held them in front of my forehead, with Viro’s flailing form in my sights. It may not benefit from the extra power output, but this will still hurt him if it lands. I sensed Viro start to recover, and finished my blast quickly.

“Spirit Beam Cannon!” The screw beam sped towards Viro as he lifted up and saw it coming with only a second to spar. His aura appeared as he formed a small energy shield just in time to block against it. He struggled for a moment before releasing more power to deflect it into the sky. He dropped this shield right away and gasped for breath. I felt a little faint myself, but figured it was just the excitement.

“So, I’m going to lose?” I asked. One more shot, I’ve got to land it this time. If I don’t, I may have to use the Kaioken attack and simply wish back Gohan later, I can’t let this go on much longer.


“Oh yes, you should be feeling your limit any time now!” he boasted again a few seconds later. I stared at him strangely as I felt a slight energy drain. Uh oh, I don’t like the feel of that. He attacked just as I sensed that strange spike in energy. I deflected his initial punch, but was unable to detect the next one until I had already been hit. I couldn’t count the number of punches that I was hit by next, but it wasn’t a small number to be certain. When he finally stopped, I found it difficult to move, and my whole body started to ache just as a severe nauseous feeling came over me.

“What...the...hell?” I whispered.

“Having a little trouble standing are we?” Viro chuckled. Shit, already infected. I scanned my own energy and found it to be draining very quickly. No way - ! No fucking way is his virus this fast! As much as I didn’t want to admit it though, it was affecting me much faster than any normal virus should. I felt my own ki separating out from my Psi and I dropped to one knee as I lost the Super Mystic power within seconds.

“My my, are you quitting already? What would Vegeta think of you now?” he taunted.

“H-How did you infect me already?” I asked.

“Dear boy, you were infected the instant you set foot on this planet. My virus can lay in its dormant state for several months in just the open air. You and your friends were dead the instant you came back to life!” he explained. I growled slightly as I felt my power slipping even further away.

“I guess you aren’t much of a threat anymore are you?” he asked as he glanced towards the others. I ignored his comment and took note that my Psi energy hadn’t dissipated at all. This must be how he beat Vegeta and Goku so quickly, the drain of ki plus the big attacks they used on him! Staying powered up must hurt more than help. I guess I’ll be fighting with Psi only then! I stood up shakily, shutting down my flow of ki and reworking my Psi to be my primary energy. Once I did this, the extreme feeling of nausea passed, and my aches and pains eased up slightly, though that wasn’t the case for the splitting headache that tagged along. I felt the great wave of fatigue that typically follows illness symptoms, and it wasn’t a good feeling either given the situation. Viro barely took note of this, and continued to laugh a bit. Piccolo and the others were looking slightly panicked now that they likely didn’t feel much power coming off of me.

“So, who’s next? The boy obviously can’t take anymore of this!” Viro challenged. Fucking cheating bastard. I scowled at this as I continually scanned the energy levels around me. The other Saiyans hadn’t been affected yet from what I could tell, but it could be any moment just like it was with me. I wasn’t sure if Piccolo was going to be affected or not, but odds are he was going to end up getting involved, the ugly glare he was giving Viro was more than unnerving. I set my sights back on Viro himself, noting that his Psi energy was still very low despite the blast he had absorbed. Well, if we can get him to burn that little bit up, he’s going to be very vulnerable once he can’t absorb any more through the sword. I’d guess he’ll use it all for me if I act fast enough. I quickly released a large field of invisible Psi and slowly moved it towards him, watching what he would do about it. I could have channeled it through my palm for a faster reaction, but my glowing hands might have given it away, and he probably would have sensed it much easier. He made no real reaction while he watched the other Saiyans play rock paper scissors. Tora declared victory a moment later and started to power up as he stalked forward. Viro shifted his attention completely to Tora, and I took the chance to act on it as my energy field was almost directly over his head. He still made no real reaction with the slowly rotating threat about his head, and while pushing through my nasty headache, I focused it quickly down on him. He finally noticed just when the Psi Storm bolts were only a few feet away, and teleported to avoid them, with a very surprised look on his face.

“Sorry dickhead, we’re not done yet!” I shouted up at him as I dropped into a stance, panting slightly just from getting up. Man, even without using ki this virus is taking it out of me. I guess I’m lucky that Gohan isn’t very adept at detecting invisible energy fields like that, otherwise he could have just absorbed it again.

“I doubt you want to fight me now boy. You’ll only shorten the rest of your life, which won’t be long as it is!”

“Yeah, I get it! Save me the villain speech!” I said with a slight growl. He suddenly phased out and vanished, and I could barely track him. I was floored from behind by a boot and picked myself out of the dirt a moment later, slightly stunned at the fact that I couldn’t feel it coming, even with the instant transmission. Damnit, since I can’t use any ki, my senses are going to be impaired. I need to seriously think about doing something about this virus before I think about going after him again. As I barely got back to my feet, I heard him stepping up behind me. I spun quickly, only to receive a backhand to the face, opening up my nose for a massive red leak. I flew backwards from the blow, gliding to a stop and holding back the flood that was trying to come out of my sinuses. I glared up at Viro, who was stomping towards me with a vicious grin on his face. My lungs suddenly filled up and I was forced to cough out a red mess, which deflected my attention from the next attack. Like the previous few, I couldn’t see it coming either, and he kicked my stomach so hard that I thought his boot had gone through my back. I found myself sailing into the air and then dropping onto the hard ground near the other Saiyans.

“Unless you want to die again so soon boy, I suggest you stay down!” Viro shouted as I struggled to see which star was the prettiest.

“I think you should try to recover kid, we’ll take him on!” Tora said as he, Fasha, Borgos and Shugesh all powered up to Super Saiyan 2. Piccolo threw down his weighted clothes and joined them in surrounding Viro a moment later, who looked quite confident.

“No, ugh, damnit! Don’t take him on, it’s only a wasted effort! That virus drains your energy!” I warned, coughing up some blood in the process as I sat up.

“Dear boy, what makes you think I need to use the virus to kill off these weaklings? It doesn’t matter whether they give you time to recover or not, you’re all going to die!” Viro declared suddenly, angering the rest of them quickly. He had a point though, he was quite a bit stronger than all them, and he had a few rounds of instant transmission to go with it. Damnit, I don’t have much time left. I need to take care of this virus problem before I try to take him on again, I’m not even using ki and I’m getting drained. But at the same time I need to hurry this up to save everyone. Shit, I’ve got no choice but to drag this out longer, it’s the only way to win. I got to my knees for a moment before settling into sitting Indian style so I could concentrate.

I heard Lenz step up behind me a second later, “Hey, you okay?” she asked.

“Not really..." A short cough. "Stay here and cover me while I deal with this stupid virus!” I said, coughing lightly as I watched the ensuing battle with a focused glare.

“What are you going to do?” she asked, curious.

“My Psi energy allows for special abilities that are hard to comprehend. I dealt with one infection with it while dealing with the Zerg and I’m going to try the same thing again. Hopefully it works the same. I figure that if I can basically wipe out something that practically re-wrote my DNA, I can handle a virus,” I explained.

“But won’t you just get infected again, won’t it be pointless since there is no cure? I mean can’t he just infect you again afterwards?” she asked. Good point, just like King Kai suggested might happen with the wish.

“I don’t know, but I have to try,” I said sharply, focusing on my body.

“Why can’t we just all swarm him and wipe him out that way? Maybe with one big combined blast?” she asked.

“It won’t work, if he infects everyone by the time we pull it off, we would be sitting ducks while he has instant transmission at this disposal. It will only tire us out more! Now let me concentrate on this!” I snapped at her, prompting her to shut up. I settled down and attempted to calm myself, which was slightly difficult now that my breath was short. I powered up with all of my Psi, smothering every part of my body with focused energy. My whole body then glowed brightly with a thin but concentrated layer of blue energy. With that done, I searched deep within myself to find the viral cells. One way or another, the virus was going to be leaving my body soon.


Interlude 40.1: Battlefield of Despair


Viro-Gohan glanced at Verto’s now glowing blue form, trying to figure out what the boy was up to. He could sense that he was using a lot of his Psi energy to do something other than power up, but wasn’t sure what. He also didn’t have time to dwell on it, as Piccolo and the four other Super Saiyans had surrounded him. Shugesh rushed in first from Viro’s right, getting his punch blocked before Viro kicked him away. Tora came up from behind and almost took Viro’s head off with a hard double-ax handle, but missed when he ducked out of the way. Borgos flew in just as Viro glided past Tora and tried the same thing, narrowing missing. Fasha didn’t bother attacking head on and instead fired a small array of ki blasts at Viro. The villain deflected them all, but lost track of Piccolo momentarily. He suddenly sensed him above, coming in for the attack. Viro saw Tora and Shugesh coming at him at the same time and teleported out instantly just as they nearly hit each other. He reappeared next to Fasha, swinging his forearm into her back like a hammer. She cried out in pain before skidding to a halt and charging back at him. He phased out again and nailed Borgos with a front kick to the jaw before letting him have it in the stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground. Shugesh charged after him but missed when he vanished again. Viro pummeled Shugesh from behind an instant later, holding him up by the front of his armor as he punched him repeatedly.

“You low life Saiyan trash came back to life at a very poor time. Can’t you see that it is fruitless to fight me?” Viro asked.

“Special Beam Cannon!” Piccolo shouted, firing from directly below. Viro dropped Shugesh and deflected the screw beam away, a bit surprised by Piccolo’s sudden attack.

“Why don’t you come out of my friend’s body so we can settle this man-to-man!” Piccolo dared.

“What for, so I can fight honorably? That wouldn’t be very fair! There isn’t a point to that either, and since you are a Namek, you are immune to my virus’s effects! I could infect you and your kind after I’m done with them, but I think I’ll settle for killing you off with this body! It has a certain ironic twist to it,” Viro grinned. Piccolo answered with a sudden string of rapid-fire ki blasts, all of which Viro deflected while keeping his wide grin. Piccolo spotted Tora and Fasha flying up behind Viro and kept up his effort. Viro suddenly glanced back as he sensed them and phased out. Piccolo guessed at his most likely destination and swung his elbow backwards, nailing a surprised Viro in the side of the face. Piccolo didn’t hesitate and unloaded on Viro with dozens of punches and the occasional kick thrown in, but frowned when they did little to nothing. Viro grinned as he recovered and started blocking all of the Namek’s blows with ease. Viro spotted Tora and Fasha chasing after him again and phased out just as Piccolo threw a punch into his midsection. Tora and Fasha were taken out of the air when he reappeared and clotheslined them both at the same time. Due to their own momentum, they both flipped around and were smacked by a simultaneous knife hand chop to their backs, sending them into the ground. Viro then concentrated on them both for a moment, grinning slightly when he felt their ki levels dropping off and sending them back to normal mode. He detected Shugesh sneaking up on him a moment later and activated the virus in him as well. He didn’t have to wait but a moment before Shugesh slowed and held his stomach in surprise. Viro punched him directly in the head when his guard went down, nearly knocking out the large Saiyan as he tumbled to the ground. Borgos came after Viro in a fit of rage after sensing his comrades go down. He blazed in and punched wildly while Viro dodged all of his attacks, grinning all the way as he let the big Saiyan wear himself out. Borgos slowed down tremendously about a minute later, feeling quite ill himself. Viro let him continue until he slowed so much that he struggled to throw a punch even at low speed. His arms dropped and hung loosely as he caught his breath and fell completely out of Super Saiyan, slowly drifting to the ground. Viro wasn’t content enough to let him go down without a good hit, and phased out, bashing him in the temple instantly.

Viro chuckled slightly at the ease of the battle, then sensed a number of ki blasts coming his way, courtesy of Piccolo. He immediately tried to use instant transmission and got no real response out of his energy. Blast it, I burned up too much of Gohan’s Psi energy. Oh well, I shouldn’t need it now that the small fry is out of the fight! Viro dodged the regular way, phasing in and out occasionally as the ki blasts went right on by him.

“Come on you, filthy Namek! This can’t be your best!” Viro dared. He was correct in that assumption when he glanced up and saw several dozen ki balls floating up there, all controlled by Piccolo. Viro frowned with slight concern, mostly because he had underestimated Piccolo and overestimated himself just a bit. Piccolo didn’t hesitate once he saw that Viro wasn’t getting away so easily, and moved the ki blasts around in a tight circle before sending them screeching towards Viro-Gohan all at once. A bright flash filled the landscape as the blasts pummeled Viro, leaving behind a lot of smoke and ash. Piccolo sighed slightly as all of his blasts eventually dissipated, but then gasped loudly. Viro emerged from the smoke, only slightly damaged and angry. He phased out and pounded Piccolo’s head in, sending spit flying as he fell to the ground. Viro lifted back into the air and raised his hands to above his head.

“Now you die, Namek!” he growled as he charged up a large and powerful ki blast above his head. Piccolo sweated nervously as he struggled to move on the ground, knowing that whatever Viro had in mind, it would probably kill him at this level. His attention was drawn away by a scream to his left, and he spotted Verto powering up with a very violent silver aura, filled with blue lightning that literally streaked off of him and struck the air randomly for about a ten foot radius around him. Lenz was nearly struck by one and backed off quickly as she looked on in slight fear. Viro glanced over as well, shocked that the child was even standing.

“Now what?” Viro snarled as he matched Verto’s piercing glare. Viro saw that Verto’s eyes were glowing bright blue now, and it even shined through the whites of his eyes as occasionally lightning streaked out of them as well. Viro suddenly felt a wave of fear wash over him as he realized that even Gohan hadn’t seen this before. What is he planning?

--

It took a little while, but I managed to isolate all traces of Viro’s blasted virus and wiped it out with my Psi energy. As I got all of it out and gave my body’s defense system a rest, I used what was left of my ki to heal my body a bit along with my Psi as a booster. It wasn’t much, but once I got to a point where I wasn’t sore or even tired again, I let the adrenaline rush do the rest as I concentrated on Viro. He had knocked all of the other Saiyans out of the fight with his cheap virus quickly, and I was intent on making him pay for it. When Piccolo used his guided scattershot, he gave me an idea I wanted to try on Viro now that I had gotten rid of the virus. At the moment though, I had more pressing matters to attend to as Piccolo was about to be silenced permanently. I powered up fully with Psi, and then used my angry emotions to increase its potency several times over, which caused quite a violent lightning filled aura to be released, much like my Super Mystic aura I suppose. I lifted into the air as Viro held a blast that felt like it would do much more to Piccolo than blow off an arm. I quickly scanned Viro’s energy, finding he was just now starting to weaken a bit in the overall ki department, likely due to the toughness of Gohan’s body. His Psi was completely depleted due to using instant transmission so much, I doubted he could even try to form the sword now. It didn’t matter to me though, I didn’t plan on giving him enough time to form it if I could help it.

“Well, well! Still got some fight left in you kid? Frankly I don’t see how, my little virus should have wiped out your energy by now!” Viro boasted as he turned his hand slightly as if to aim at me and Lenz, who was still standing by behind me.

“Lenz get back, I’m gonna take care of this guy right now and you don’t want to get in the cross fire!” I replied, ignoring Viro completely.

“Aren’t you going to answer me brat? Where’s that incredible wit of yours?” Viro shouted down. He sounded like he was pretending to be confident, as I could suddenly sense fear coming from him. I straightened out and got a good feel for the blast in Viro’s hands, and knew that even if I dodged it, it could hurt someone nearby, or even go through the ground and blow up the Earth in the process. I frowned and focused on myself for the moment, linking my energy up for a potentially dangerous test of my body.

“If you aren’t going to at least humor me, I suppose its time to end this!” Viro declared as he fired the blast directly at me. This time I responded, and his jaw dropped when my aura shifted colors to dark blue.

“Kaio-ken!” I shouted, getting an incredible surge of energy a moment later. I almost lost myself in the sudden power boost, and then locked eyes with Viro as I released a ton of power into the air through my brightly glowing hand, more than enough to match his blast. I stopped it from going far and concentrated it about ten feet away in a quick rotating field. He was stunned to say the least when I deflected his blast with my Psi shield technique, sending it into the upper atmosphere quickly. He then let loose with a rapid-fire ki blast attack, bouncing them all off my bright blue shield a moment later.

“How are you doing this?” he shouted in between blasts.

“Your virus can only affect so many people before a cure is found. Luckily, I’m very resourceful!” I said sternly. After he saw that none of his smaller blasts were going to get through, he dropped back and charged up a big one. To me, it was a mockery of the Son family.

“Okay you despicable brat, you asked for it! You may have cleared yourself from my virus’s effects, now let’s see you stop this one! Ka - me - ha - me…!” he shouted and chanted, forming the blue turtle beam behind him. Big mistake, I’ve got you now! I quickly moved straight towards him, charging a great deal of Psi energy into my right hand. To throw him off the trail, I dropped the shield on purpose, even though the energy was still there.

“Are you that eager to die you brat?” he asked. I didn’t answer and kept my focus on his beam, feeling it finish and preparing my retaliation. I lifted my hand and locked it into a gun like pose to help concentrate my attack a little better as I aimed directly at him. I used some of my remaining energy to form my shield with my left hand, to block what was likely going to be a bigger blast than expected, but it wasn’t Viro’s blast I was concerned with.

“Shock Cannon!” I shouted just as he moved, and sent a large lightning bolt packed with a nearly equal amount of energy directly at his beam, much faster than he could release his own wave.

“HAAA!!!” He shouted, bringing his arms forward. The reaction was immediate, and a huge green explosion filled the skies as I was forced back by the variation of the Shock Cannon. It was much more powerful than the one I had used on Janemba, and I knew it had to have had an impact on Viro. I wasn’t sure if it was as powerful as my final attack against the Overmind, but it had to have been close. I stopped channeling the Kaioken technique once I was safely away from the huge explosion, giving me a chance to catch my breath as the bright light slowly cleared out. I didn’t sense Viro-Gohan initially, but given the size of the explosion, I wasn’t surprised. Hell, most of the nearby area had flattened out due to its power. I spotted him falling to the ground a moment later, his ki level plummeting as fast as he was. He landed hard and I managed to relax a bit as he lay motionless on the ground.

“Wow kid, nice one!” Lenz shouted from below. I glanced at her with a brief smile before heading towards Viro. I scanned his power level several more times, finding that he was not only still alive, but he still had some power left. It wasn’t much though, my Psi level alone was more than double his total power despite using a lot of it up during the Kaioken surge. I sensed him start to stir, and groaned a bit myself. That’s just like Gohan, tough as nails. I’ve used up most of my power now thanks to that damn virus, time to start tapping the reserves. It doesn’t matter now, though. He’s lost almost eighty percent of his power. This fight is over!

-

Viro looked quite angry as he barely pulled himself up from the ground, one arm dangling loosely and the other holding his bleeding stomach. “You miserable child, you’ve ruined this body!” he snarled as I landed about ten yards away.

“Get over it, you won’t have a body pretty soon!” I replied calmly.

“And neither will the rest of the Earth!” he said as that sick grin of his returned. I instantly felt the rest of the Earth’s energy shift towards a downward direction.

“What the hell did you do?” I asked as the overall ki energy from all the humans suddenly plunged.

“Since you Saiyans won’t just give up and make it easy on those poor little humans that you protect, I’m taking care of them now! You may have cured yourself - now let’s see you cure the whole planet. And as I understand it, your dragonballs aren’t going to do any good this time! Muahahahahaha!” he cackled. I heard Piccolo cursing a moment later, and inwardly I joined him as I stared at the ground, knowing that I had failed them. No, there has to be a way to save them, I won’t accept that we’ve lost the Earth, I just won’t! It’s bad enough I’ve already lost one world due to Frieza and his goons, I’m not gonna lose this one too!

“What’s wrong, kid. We can’t all have the last laugh you know!” Viro laughed again, his sick voice pressing my buttons a little more.

“I’m gonna make you pay for this!” I growled sharply as he continued to laugh at my dismay.

“Go ahead and make me pay, boy, it won’t make a bit of difference. I’ve still won!” he replied. I walked straight towards him, with every intent on finishing this fight. Despite the grin on his face, I sensed a surge of anger from him, but it seemed deeper than that, like it was in fact Gohan that was getting angry. His power rose a little bit, but not much as he prepared himself for my next assault. Anger and fear, great time for my attack. I stopped and refocused my mind while charging a small Psi ball in my hand. Viro’s grin vanished when he saw this, as he likely knew what it was from Gohan’s memories. That’s fine, I’ve got another present for him even if he dodges it.

“Feedback!” I shouted, hurling the ball at him. I quickly set about forming my next attack as he prepped for the white ball, and it cooled my other hand off tremendously. I saw him duck my feedback ball and it went sailing past, vanishing eventually when it struck a hill since I didn’t keep control of it once it was out of my hands. He turned around just as I finished my next attack, and looked very bewildered as to what it could be. That made sense. Gohan hadn’t seen it either. Viro’s energy flared, and to my surprise, he managed to form the Psi sword again. By what I could tell, he at least sensed that I had a Psi blast forming and it wasn’t feedback. What he didn’t know was what was going to happen as soon as he touched it.

“Get a taste of this Viro! Psi Freeze!” I shouted, throwing it at him. He grinned slightly and held his Psi blade at the ready, holding up the sword right in the path of my Psi ball. When it hit, he immediately tried to absorb it, and got the surprise of his life when the energy froze his hand and continued up his arm. He immediately tried to fix the problem by ejecting the energy out through his sword, but it was too late. The sword then vanished when he lost concentration as the ice continued through his arm and then over the chest and legs. In less than three seconds, Viro-Gohan had been successfully frozen and trapped for the moment. Piccolo’s reaction was probably quite funny to see, but I didn’t have time to care about that. I cleared my thoughts again and charged another feedback ball just as I felt him start to power up, no doubt figuring out that this was the Stasis field. Doesn’t matter, I’ve got him now. Just as I sensed the ice start to melt, I fired the ball, watching it hit just as the ice blew apart. White lightning erupted from Viro and put him on the ground, with his aura still going. I sensed him become very angry and the effect nearly tripled in strength. Wait a sec, if he has Gohan’s memories, he should know that getting angry won’t help him at all.

“Noooooo!” he shouted suddenly, not at anyone in particular either. Viro’s power level fell and rose at regular rates and underneath his gray aura I noticed that there was some sort of smoke flowing out of his ears, nose and mouth, not unlike what I had seen out of Buu a time or two. Then I felt Gohan’s purely good power signal returning, and Viro’s leaving...then I knew. Gohan had been waiting for me to hit him with the Feedback technique so he take advantage of it and boot Viro out of his body. The smoke continued for a moment before it stopped completely and Gohan’s energy vanished as he fell to the ground. As he fell, the feedback ball emerged once again and floated in mid air before dissipating as it ran out of energy. The smoke formed into a tight cloud of dull gray air before reshaping into an ugly looking white figure that looked no taller than I did. His body was small and underdeveloped, his head looked deformed with what looked like something similar to Buu’s forelock sticking up, only it was much thicker like a hairstyle would be if he had any. His eyes were pale yellow and looking very wide open with surprise as he looked around. The main thing I noticed was the fact that I could still see through his body a bit like he was one of Gotenks’ super ghosts. His power level was still considerable despite his lack of substance, but nothing I couldn’t handle.

“How did you…?” he asked as he stared at his own hands that only had a thumb. I didn’t answer, and powered up slowly as I stalked towards him.

“Hold on, aren’t you going to let me go? I’m obviously helpless against your superior power! You don’t want to sink to my level with a senseless murder, do you?” Viro pleaded, as if he was speaking to Goku.

“Don’t waste your last words trying to trick me! I’ll sink to any level to do away with your kind, you pathetic piece of shit! You’re finished!” I growled as I stomped towards him.
