Chapter 15: A Great Saiyan

Shockwaves continuously occur as two powerful fighters clash in the sky. Goku and Icarus exchange punches and kicks. Lightning forms around Icarus. Every contact Goku makes with Icarus causes the saiyan a bit of pain, but he is able to ignore it as he pushes forwards against Icarus.

Icarus punches Goku in the stomach and then strikes the super saiyan across the face. He wonders what this new form is. It is different from the previous forms of Goku. Regardless of looks, Goku has become stronger. Icarus did not expect this. Luckily, his temporary increase in power will still last another hour. He ended up using far more power than he thought. Nevertheless, he will not lose.

"This only proves the need to eliminate your species," said Icarus.

Goku holds up a bag, which causes Icarus' eyes to widen.

"How did you get that?" asked Icarus.

"I wondered what you had in the bag around your waist," said Goku. "It looks like it is the last dragon balls."

"It will not matter," said Icarus. "I have the rest of the dragon balls."

"No, you had," interrupted Goku. "My son took the dragon balls from your hidden base."

Icarus' world comes crashing down. How did these inferior beings discover his base? A year of work and now everything has gone down the drain.

Goku watches as lightning continues to form around Icarus. This is the final moment. He does not know the full strength of his current form or the limitation. He has to finish this fight while he can.

"I have lost the battle," said Icarus. "However, this war is far from over."

Icarus shouts as lightning strikes him from the sky. His body has a maximum limit for the lightning he can hold, but he will use this to finish the saiyan.

Icarus charges at Goku. Once again, the two fighters clash in the sky. Flurries of punches and kicks are unleashed. Icarus begins shooting numerous lightning bolts, which Goku counters with Ki blasts. The super saiyan crashing his head into Icarus' stomach and follows it with a strike to the chin. Goku sends the yellow hair man soaring towards the ground. However, Icarus stops his descent and places his two hands together.

"Lightning Style: Harpoon!" shouted Icarus.

The yellow hair man sends a beam of energy infused with lightning with an arrowhead at the beginning of the attack. Goku catches the attack and uses all of his strength to push the attack upwards.

Icarus grunts in annoyance, but he continues his attack.

"Barrage Cannon!" shouted Icarus sending numerous energy attacks.

Goku begins flying around to avoid the attacks. The energy attacks explode with each other as the beams fail to hit the super saiyan. Goku uses his new speed to fly through Icarus' attack and punch the yellow hair man in the face. Goku unleashes numerous attacks upon Icarus. However, Icarus smirks as he grabs Goku's wrists.

"Let us see if you can withstand far higher voltage," said Icarus.

Icarus sends even more lightning through Goku's body. Suddenly, lightning bolts strike from the sky and hit Goku and Icarus. Unfortunately, Goku can only resist the lightning for so long.

Goku shouts as pain surges through his body. Icarus head butts Goku and then he slam his fists into the head of Goku sending the super saiyan soaring towards the ground. The yellow hair man does not allow Goku any breather. He charges at the super saiyan and grabs the super saiyan. He continues heading towards the ground as Goku tries to struggle against his opponent.

A few seconds later, the two fighters hit the ground creating a massive shockwave. At the same time, the area begins shaking causing numerous soldiers to fall over. Nobody expected such as powerful blow. Icarus sits on Goku as he continues to punch the super saiyan with numerous punches.

Despite Goku's new powers, the power of Icarus still matches him. Hit after hit, Icarus continues to strike him. Goku does not resist as the yellow hair man beats him to a bloody pulp. Suddenly, Goku's family and friends flashes through his mind. He has to fight back. His family and friends are counting on him.

Goku raises his hands shooting Ki blasts into Icarus' face. The yellow hair man jumps off Goku covering his face. The super saiyan uses this chance to strike. Goku unleashes one powerful punch into the yellow hair man's stomach causing Icarus to gag. The super saiyan knees Icarus in the face and then he kicks the yellow hair man away.

Goku jumps into the air and then hovers for a few seconds. He forms two Ki balls into his hands. The blue sphere form at a decent size as Goku aims the balls towards Icarus, who has just gotten up. Goku smirks as he shoots both Ki balls.

Icarus notices the attack and he simply jumps out of the way. However, the two Ki balls change direction and continue to aim towards Icarus. The yellow hair man's eyes widen as he shoots two lightning bolts towards the balls. Suddenly, Goku appears behind Icarus and punches the yellow hair man in the back.

Icarus grunts in pain as Goku grabs the man around the head and slams him to the ground since the two fighters are near the ground.

The yellow hair man digs his hands into Goku's right arm causing the super saiyan pain. Goku grunts as he tries to force Icarus to release him, but the man does not let go.

Suddenly, a tail grabs Goku around the waist.

"You're not the only person with a tail," said Icarus.

Suddenly, wings appear from Icarus' back. His teeth grow sharp, as his eyes turn red.

"What are you?" asked Goku.

Icarus smirks as he uses his newly formed tail to apply pressure to Goku's waist. The amount of pain causes Goku to release Icarus. Icarus sends electricity through his tail while punching Goku at the same time. He releases Goku and strikes the super saiyan with a powerful kick. The kick creates another shockwave as everyone hears the impact.

The super saiyan counters with a Ki blast stopping Icarus' momentum. The two fighters stare at each other with a decent distance between them.

Suddenly, the two fighters clash, unleashing numerous punches and kicks.

Goku punches Icarus in the stomach.

Icarus upper cuts Goku in the chin.

Goku slams his elbow into his opponent's chest.

Icarus knees the super saiyan in the stomach.

Icarus realizes that Goku's stomach is becoming weaker. He must strike this wound. However, Goku does not allow Icarus the chance as the super saiyan battles the yellow hair man with the same amount of force.

Goku begins shooting Ki blasts as Icarus dodges the attacks. The yellow hair man shoots his own lightning bolts. The two fighters cause massive damage around them. Luckily, for Goku, none of his family and friends is close enough to be in danger.

Their fists clash constantly as they try to overpower each other.

Icarus' wings spread as lightning bolts shoot out from the wings. The attacks hit Goku in the chest, arms, legs, and head. Icarus continues his assault, but Goku retaliates with his own Ki blasts. The different attacks begin clashing causing explosions to occur one after another.

The attacks cease as Icarus waits for Goku to appear.

"Dragon Fist!" shouted Goku from behind Icarus.

Icarus turns around just in time to catch the dragon surprising Goku. Icarus stops the Dragon Fist in its tracks.

Instantly, the two fighters begin exchanging attacks. After a few rounds of battle, Icarus flies backwards as he aims his hands towards Goku.

"Eagle Blaster!" shouted Icarus.

An energy beam in the form of an eagle shoots towards Goku. The super saiyan easily dodges the attack, but Icarus wanted him to do this. The yellow hair man stops his attack and flies towards Goku. He clotheslines the super saiyan sending Goku towards the ground.

Goku stops his descent returning his attention to the yellow hair man. The super saiyan charges at Icarus with amazing speed. Icarus and Goku continue their battle, but as the fight goes on, Goku can feel his battle becoming easier.

Icarus cannot believe the strength of Goku. He did not expect to fight someone this strong. He needs to end the fight as soon as possible.

The yellow hair man looks around the planet him. His forces are beaten. All of the dragon balls are lost. However, the crystal of power is still on the planet.

"Half of the planet should do," said Icarus to himself.

He will only put enough strength to destroy most of the planet. He is sure the crystal is strong enough to survive such an explosion. Icarus deems Goku too dangerous.

"Dodge this," said Icarus as he flies higher.

Goku raises an eyebrow wondering where Icarus is heading.

The rest of the Z Fighters and the alliance watch as Icarus heads towards the sky. Orion's eyes widen as he notices Icarus perform familiar hand signs.

"No," said Orion. "Goku! He plans on destroying this planet!"

Everyone's eyes widen at Orion's words. Icarus is crazy enough to do such a thing.

Goku watches as Icarus enters a similar stance to Vegeta's Final Flash.

Icarus gathers all of the strength he has left. Regardless if he gains the crystal, Goku must die.

"Eagle's Rampage!" shouted Icarus launching a powerful energy beam towards the planet in the shape of a very large eagle.

"Ka," said Goku with his hands forward.

"Me," continued the super saiyan twisting his hands back.

"Ha," said Goku as a ball of blue energy appears in his hands.

"Me," continued Goku making the blue ball grow in size.

The eagle approaches the planet. The energy Icarus is releasing is causing the planet to shake to its core. Large chunks of earth begin defying gravity as the alliance on the ground close their eyes hoping Goku can win.

Orion crosses his hands just in case.

'My body is too damage to do much,' thought Orion. 'However, if I gather enough strength then I can pull off a single movement. I simply have to wait for the right moment.'

"Ha!" shouted Goku unleashing his powerful technique.

The yellow and blue beams collide in the sky as the two fighters struggle to fight. Icarus continues to put more power into his attack causing Goku to lose ground.

Goku grunts as he retaliates by adding more power into his technique.

*SC*

Chi-Chi holds her hands together. Her husband is fighting for the survival of everybody. The rest of the Z Fighters clench their fists hoping Goku wins, but the super saiyan has always pulled through before.

"Come on dad!" shouted Gohan.

"Goku!" shouted Bulma. "Win!"

The Z Fighters had awoken from their battles, but their bodies will not allow them to reenter the fight.

*SC*

"You will not win!" yelled Icarus. "I will destroy you and I will accomplish my goals!"

Goku continues to struggle with Icarus. If only he can push just a bit more. Goku closes his eyes. His ears pick up the sounds of the rumbling earth, the waving waters, and the cheers from his family and friends. He cannot lose now. The super saiyan gathers all of his strength as he prepares for the final push.

*SC*

"We need to get farther away," said Piccolo.

Buu, who has recovered separates into multiple Buus and helps the fallen Z Fighters. Gohan has to force his mother to leave since Chi-Chi does not want to go without Goku.

"We have to go," said Gohan.

Orion watches the group leave. This is perfect for him. Now, he has to do is wait for the right moment to strike. However, the least he can do is give Goku strength.

"Power Seal: Activate!" shouted Orion.

A seal appears on Goku's back. Immediately, Goku can feel the increase in his own power. He does not know what the cause of it is, but this is his only chance. He has gather enough strength, now is the time to finish the fight.

Orion prepares another seal. However, he does not say anything yet. He only has one shot.

Goku opens his eyes. New power fuels him. However, he knows this power is only temporary. Regardless, he must use it now. The super saiyan shouts, as his Kamehameha turns red.

Icarus watches as Goku's energy turns color. He has never seen such a display. What is going on? Soon, Icarus' eagle loses ground as Goku's Kamehameha approaches him.

"No!" shouted Icarus. "It will not end this way! One hundred percent!"

Icarus unleashes his full power managing to stop Goku's energy beam. Suddenly, the beams become unstable. It is only a matter of time before the beams explode. Luckily, the explosions will only cause surface damage to the planet.

Goku knows he cannot stop his attack. He will risk the planet if he does. However, if he stays where he is, he might get catch in the explosion. He has no choice, but to risk his life. He will die protecting his family and friends.

Goku unleashes all the power he has left causing the two beams to explode swallowing the whole area.

"Teleportation Seal: Activate!" shouted Orion.

*SC*

The Z Fighters and the alliance watch as the large explosion swallows the area near Central City.

"No," said Chi-Chi as she lands on her knees. "Not again."

Gohan tries to sense his father, but he is unable to pick up a trace. How many times must their family go through such hardships?

Vegeta clenches his fists. His rival has once again sacrificed so much. Goku better still be alive.

The entire alliance watch as the final moments of the explosion disappears. The scorched lands show their battle marks.

'You better be alive,' thought Chi-Chi.

"I can't sense him, but I can only hope," said Gohan.

"Your father has done amazing things before," said Piccolo. "It also seems Orion is gone."

The Z Fighters look around for the elder man, but not a single trace is noticeable.

*SC*

The sun rises on an unusual planet. The leaves on the trees are blue. The red grass waves in the red as the yellow water touches the hands of two people.

"Goku," said an elder man.

"What happened?" asked Goku as he stares at the beat up Orion. "Icarus, my planet, my family."

"Calm down," said Orion. "Everyone is safe, but Icarus escaped."

"We need to go after him," said Goku.

"No, it is too late," replied Orion. "He is long gone. For now, we should rest."

Goku barely is able to sit up. It seems like he is no longer in his super saiyan 4 form. He looks around and notices the unusual scenery.

"Where are we?" asked Goku.

"On another planet," said Icarus. "Don't worry. This planet is safe for now."

*SC*

A few hours have passed since the end of the battle. The golden army and Orion's army have left the battlefield after collecting their dead. However, Gohan hopes to solve that situation.

Before the Z Fighters, the seven dragon balls glow their orange color.

"Shenron, we summon you to grant our wishes," said Gohan.

Suddenly, the sky darkens as lightning begins striking. The dragon balls glow bright as the light shoots up from the ground towards the sky. The shape of a dragon forms as its face stops near the Z Fighters.

"You have summoned me," said Shenron. "I shall grant you two wishes. Please speak now."

"Our first wish is to restore the damage to the planet done by Icarus and his followers!" shouted Gohan.

"Your wish shall be granted," said Shenron.

Shenron's eyes glow red for a moment before it returns to his regular red.

"It has been done," said Shenron. "Now for your second wish."

Gohan sighs as he prepares to make his second wish.

"We wish for all those killed by Icarus and his followers to be restored back to life!" shouted Gohan.

"Your wish shall be granted," said Shenron.

Once again, Shenron's red eyes glow as he takes a moment. Soon, his eyes return to normal.

"It has been done," said Shenron. "My work here is done. Now I must go."

Shenron turns a bright yellow color as he disappears. The dragon balls begin hovering over the Z Fighters and they soon shoot towards different directions.

Chi-Chi sighs. She wishes she knew if Goku is still alive. If only she could hear him.

"Hello is everybody there," said a familiar voice interrupting Chi-Chi's thoughts.

"Kakarot," said Vegeta with a smirk.

"Father," said Gohan with a smile.

Tears run down Chi-Chi's cheeks as she speaks up.

"Please tell me you are alive," said Chi-Chi.

"Yes, I am," replied Goku. "Thank King Kai for setting this up."

"Yeah, I didn't pay attention to the events on your planet until I felt a huge power increase from Goku," said King Kai.

"So," started Gohan knowing his father did not have enough time for the Instant Transmission. "How did you escape the blast?"

"That will be me," said Orion.

"Thank you," said Chi-Chi.

"No problem," replied Orion.

"Sorry guys," said Goku catching the attention of the entire group.

"Sorry for what?" asked Chi-Chi.

"I won't be coming home," said Goku.

"What? Why?" wondered Gohan.

"I promise to help Orion here," said Goku. "He told me things are not finished yet."

"Yes, I need Goku's help," said Orion.

"I'll go too," said Vegeta. "I'll help."

"Sorry, but nobody else is ready," said Orion.

"What? You dare leave me behind!" shouted Vegeta.

"No," said Orion. "I'll need all the help I can get, but if you or anybody else try to help now, you might die easily. You saiyans are strong, but you are not there yet except Goku. Train for the next few months and I'll come back. Right now, Goku and I need to go as soon as possible."

"Everybody, I will come back," said Goku. "I hope everybody will be ready when I do."

The Z Fighters look at each other. It seems like they have a hard road ahead of them.

"And we'll be waiting," said Gohan.

"Sorry, Chi-Chi," said Goku. "I hate to leave again."

"Pay me back in the future," said Chi-Chi.

"Yeah, I know," replied Goku as King Kai closes the connection.

Chi-Chi watches sky now looking forward to the day her husband returns.

*SC*

"Hey wake up," said a voice.

Two people are in the same room. One person with yellow hair lies on the bed while a person with red hair tries to wake the other person up.

"Wake up," said the red hair man.

The red hair man wears a long sleeve jacket with black trimmings. He has blue pants and black shoes on. He also wears a belt with a katana attached to it. He does not wear a shirt allowing his chest to show and revealing a diagonal scar on his chest. He has a thick red beard and red medium length hair. His red eyes continue to scan the yellow hair man.

Once again, the red hair man pokes the other man trying to wake him up.

"Icarus, wake up," said the red hair man.

The red hair man begins to lose his patience. For five days, Icarus has been unconscious. After saving the man from death, he has not have the decency to wake up and thank him.

"Wake the hell up!" shouted the red hair man.

Immediately, Icarus wakes up as he enters his battle mode. He watches for enemies, but he soon notices the red hair man. He looks around and notices a well-built room with white walls and furniture around the place.

Icarus returns his eyes back to the red hair man. Out of all people, it had to be him.

"Wotan," said Icarus. "I do not recall asking for a wakeup call."

"Like I care what you think," replied Wotan. "By the way, do you want to guess why you are here?"

Icarus sighs. All his preparation was worthless.

"I lost and you saved me," replied Icarus.

Wotan narrows his eyes. This man takes the fun out of everything.

"I guess I'm not the only one to lose," said Wotan.

Icarus glares at Wotan. How dare he say such a thing?

"Leave me alone," retorted Icarus.

"No can do," said Wotan. "Our lord is coming."

Icarus' eyes widen. Is he here? Their leader has come in person.

"Icarus," said a dark voice from the shadows. "You have failed me."

"My lord," started Icarus. "The saiyans were stronger than I thought."

"Enough," said the voice. "There are no excuses."

"Yes, my lord," said Icarus.

The man before him scares the yellow hair man. The man before him is the only person stronger than he is. It will take five Icarus just to match this man's strength.

Suddenly, the door opens as two more shadowy figures enter the room.

The first person speaks.

"Wow, you look like crap, Icarus," said the first person.

Icarus simply ignores him.

"We bring news of Fearghas," said the second person.

"Ah, so Fearghas has completed his mission," said the leader.

"Well, um," started the second person. "He lost to the pirate."

"Excuse me?" questioned the leader as if he had to double check what he just heard.

"Fearghas lost," said the first person.

"What?" shouted the leader. "Can nobody do things right?"

The leader's shadowy fingers points to the other two unknown people.

"You two are up next," said the leader. "Don't fail me."

The two unknown people nod their heads and race out of the room. The leader turns around and faces Icarus and Wotan.

"Make yourselves useful and collect Fearghas for me," said the leader.

"Yes my lord," said Icarus and Wotan.

The leader walks out of the room causing Icarus and Wotan to release their breaths. They simply stare at the door. They might as well collect their comrade.

*SC*

"So now what?" asked Goku.

"We will separate," replied Orion. "It will make things easier."

Orion hands Goku an envelope. The saiyan opens it up and begins to read the content.

"Um, how do I get to this planet?" asked Goku.

"I'll take you there," responded Orion. "Afterwards, you are on your own."

"Where will you go?" inquired the saiyan.

"I need to pick up a ninja and pirate," replied Orion. "By now, a friend of mine should have helped them."

Eolin walks into the room that Goku and Orion are occupying.

"The dragon balls brought you back," said Goku.

"Yeah," said Eolin.

Orion places his hand on the lion's shoulder.

"Don't scare me again," said Orion.

"I'll do my best," replied Eolin.

"Should I get going?" asked Goku.

Orion turns towards the saiyan. It is best to move as quickly as possible.

"Yeah," replied Orion. "You do have a shinigami to convince and I have a dragon slayer to find."

Goku nods his head as the two men walk out the room. This is only the beginning of a new adventure, but a long one.
