Cold wind howled through the ruined city streets, ruffling Vegeta's clothes and The Immortal's furs. Nether of them noticed. The Saiyan prince actually stepped back as he took in Selea's no form. She was still, not a muscle twitched. She could almost have been a statue. Except that they had seen her transform.

The Immortal bowed low to her. " Welcome back."

She still didn't move. Vegeta frowned, reaching out with his senses in an attempt to find out what had happened to her. It was strange. He could no longer sense her. All he got was a hollow feeling, dark and empty. Then, she did move. A powerful aura burst into life around her. It was one he had never seen before, a faint golden presence overlaid with black and some dark blue.

He called out, " S-Selea? Is that you?"

He leapt out of the way just in time, the ground below him exploded a mere second later with extreme force. He landed on his feet and turned towards her again. What was happening? Was she being controlled somehow? Unless... was this something like the Majin transformation? Causing her dark side to be unleashed and powered up? If so, not good.

She looked up at him, a piercing glare he had never seen before. A dark light flashed into existence in her hand. Shaping itself until it was a straight sword. The ever flowing darkness that made up the blade slowly solidified until it was simply steel, albeit blacker than the usual metal. She raised this sword and pointed it at Vegeta.

" Out of my way."

The Saiyan prince shot back his response, " Selea, what happened to you?"

" That is none of your concern."

She slowly walked away from the prince, not paying him any attention as she turned to The Immortal and said, " Lets go. We still have one more person to transform before the Masters are unsealed."

The demon-spawn nodded, " Our time is nearly here. Soon nothing in this pathetic universe will be able to stop us."

Selea nodded, " Indeed. But we must make tracks."

She floated into the air in preparation for her departure but a small beam of Ki smashed into her back. She turned with a hiss, Vegeta!

The Saiyan growled, " I don't know what's happened to you, but you are not leaving until I have my answers!"

Selea snapped, " As if you could stop me, you're just as weak as the rest of your pathetic race, Frieza did the universe a favour by wiping out creatures as useless as you!"
Vegeta snapped, with a scream of rage he hurled a might Ki blast at Selea! The former Z Fighter ducked out of the way but Vegeta followed her with a stream of blasts.

She took to the air once more but the prince followed.

Selea led him on a chase through the ruined city, ducking under falling buildings and through wide streets, The Immortal did nothing to prevent Vegeta's attack, if she couldn't survive on her own she was unworthy of the power.

She had just ducked under another building, her speed had been increased incredibly so she was now able to stay ahead of Vegeta, but only by a little. Frowning, she muttered to herself, " This will never do."

With a scream, she powered up and vanished from sight! Vegeta wasn't fooled, he did the same. Silence for a few seconds then Selea reappeared reeling from a fist thrown by Vegeta who had also rejoined the plain of sight.

Selea caught herself with practised ease and barrel-rolled to the left in time to avoid a rain of deadly Ki blasts. Vegeta phased before her with a mighty kick! She caught his foot before he could do any damage and used his own momentum to hurl the prince to the ground!

Vegeta impacted with a grunt as the ground below him bent and collapsed but he was on his feet again in time to avoid a sneak-attack from Selea! She phased away before he could do anything else. Vegeta growled and leapt into the air, " Where are you?"

She reformed behind him and fired off a Ki beam! Vegeta turned with and with a feral smirk not seen on his face since his days under Frieza called out: " You want to play that game? Fine. Big Bang!"

The attack smashed into Selea's and easily forced hers aside, she only had time for her eyes to open in shock before it slammed into her with all of Vegeta's rage and tossed her to the ground with a mighty explosion.

" It's not over yet!" Cried the prince. " Take this! Final Flash!"

The golden attack rushed down, eager to consume Selea. It did just that. Impacting with an even bigger explosion than his last attack. Still not happy, Vegeta poured small blasts down upon Selea. The ground below her collapsed and Vegeta stopped.

He descended to the ground. " That will teach you..."

Slowly it dawned upon the prince that he had let his anger control him. That Selea was not as tough as a Saiyan. That he might have done more damage than he intended. He didn't have to worry long. A huge wave of dark energy tore through his very being and he let out an anguished scream as he collapsed to the ground.

Selea let out a small laugh as she pulled herself out of the wreckage, " oops, did that hurt? It should have. I just hit you will all your negative energy turned against you. That's my power now... all your pride turned into a deadly attack... someone like you never had a chance."

The Immortal walked up to her. He had followed the fight at his own pace measuring Selea's new power with an expert eye.

" Good," he said, " Now kill him."

Selea looked distraught for a few moments but quickly nodded, " it must be done."

" This time, use your full power. Destroy that weakling with one final blast!"

Selea raised her hand, dark energy radiating off it.

Vegeta coughed and raised his head, seeing oncoming doom, his mind spun. No! No! I am the prince of all Saiyans! I wont let it end like this... wont die now...

" S-Selea..."

The dark orb was almost ready as Selea said, " I'm sorry but The Immortal is right, you're too big a threat. You'd try to stop us. I can't allow that. This is the end for you."

Vegeta's eyes widened in the realization that he wouldn't be fast enough this time. NO! I will not allow myself to be beaten in such a way... Not after all I've been through... Cell, Buu, Frieza.. I wont let this happen!

In a flash, he leapt up from the ground and charged Selea! But the attack was already moving! Not a simple wave this time is took the form of a massive beam, smashing into Vegeta with the full force of a Saiyan's pride. It ripped into him, seeming to tear it's way into his chest and out of his back while at the same time sending burning strands of dark energy through his veins. With nothing left to do, Vegeta screamed in agony. The attack carried him back and slammed him into a nearby building, which promptly fell down on top of him.

Selea turned away. " That's that taken care of."

The Immortal nodded, " Indeed. Our time is almost here we just need to find the last Chosen One."

" How will we find him?"

" We will know him when we see him, but I feel that this world no not the place to look. Let us leave here."

They took off into the air, leaving the city and its few survivors.

_

Vegeta knew nothing. He felt nothing. There had been pain but now there was not. A heavy fog filled the prince's mind as he struggled to sort out what had happened, but with an easy-going attitude not normally displayed, he decided it didn't matter. He had been in a fight of some kind... he knew that... but the rest was haze... it probably didn't matter.

Vegeta knew what was happening to him, it had happened before. He was dyeing. This was the first time he had been allowed to do so in peace, not in the midst of battle as when Frieza did it, not like when he destroyed himself in the hopes of taking Buu with him but in peace. It dawned on the prince that he couldn't feel his limbs, did he lose them or what it just blood loss? Not that it mattered, this was the end. Vegeta knew a mortal wound when he took one and all his years of experience in battle were telling him that barring a senzu, he was as good as dead.

He closed his eyes. Vegeta, the last real Saiyan, along with all the memories of his planet and people passed into the blackness.

_

Goku looked around, he knew the other was here somewhere, in this old forest. The trees were tall here, tall and ancient, maybe a hundred years or more. Their leafy branches all but blotted out the light and Goku could sense the millions of swarming Kis around him. Animals, plants, all had their own life, to someone like Goku, this forest was indeed alive in a far more real way than a none-Ki user could understand. But something frustrated him, out of all the many, many beings he could sense, Talos was not amongst them.

Goku had tracked the former Z Fighter into the dark forest but ether the other had learned to hide his Ki or Talos had always known and had brought Goku to this forest with the sole intention of losing him.

Had it been any other man, he might have cursed, but Goku never cursed. He looked around one last time and rose into the air. A slight disturbance in the wind behind him caused the Saiyan to duck as Talos fist shot over him! Goku quickly gripped the arm and hurled Talos around.

The two looked at each other. Talos had certainly changed since Goku had last seen him, the red wings were definitely a new addition, the sword probably was as well.

Talos pointed it at Goku and said, " what do you want?"

Goku smiled in his own traditional carefree way, " I just wanted to talk to you."

Talos snorted, " And no doubt to ask me why I switched sides and while you're at it, to find out what caused my transformation."

Goku blinked, " Did you change sides?"

Talos actually stared at him for a few seconds, " I knew you were innocent Goku but not that innocent. Didn't you see what I did to David and the others?"

Goku shrugged, " From what they tell me, you didn't kill them and you could have. That means you're not a bad guy."

Talos was staggered by Goku's simple logic, " ...I don't really know what to say."

" Just tell me, why did you take the sword?"

Talos blinked, " What?"

" They told me that the sword was thrown into the air, it was your choice to grab a hold of it, why did you take the sword?"

Talos shrugged, " It seemed right. The sword was useless, and I was mad with fury and grief," his face set into a grim look, " watching your family murdered will do that to a guy."

Goku nodded, equally grim. " I hear you melted Cooler's base all by yourself. Well done."

Talos glared, " I didn't do that to help you, I did it to get the last blade."

" Nevertheless, in doing so you allowed the others to get into the base, where they freed Vegeta and myself. So thank you."

Talos was silent for a minute but then said " Freed?"

Goku nodded, " Yeah, Cooler had us in some kind of suspended-animation."

They said nothing for a while. They felt the forest below them live. Pulsing with life and energy.

At length, Talos said, " What do you plan to do now, Goku?"

The Saiyan smiled, " I've not thought that far ahead yet. I guess in a few days, Arkh will come back for me and then I can go home..."

Talos nodded as it became clear to him, " You came here to ask did I want to go with you?"

Goku nodded, " Its not a pretty place anymore."

He took on a hunted look, " The cities are gone and Cooler must control half of the world by now... but I'm not going to let him get away with it, I'll fight him with everything I have even if I have to come back from the dead to do it!"
Talos was struck with the thought that Goku really did mean what he said, he intended to stop Cooler single-handedly, and he did mean to come back from Otherworld if he needed to. From anyone else it would be an empty threat but Goku had a habit of keeping his promises... Talos reflected that he would not like to be in Cooler's shoes.

" You want to know do I want to go back with you?"

Goku nodded once more.

Talos sighed to himself, "Listen, Goku. I'm not the fighter you used to know, my power is far higher but I've also changed a lot. I have other things to do now, I can't tell you much about them but know this, if everything goes to plan, I have a hunch we'll end up on opposite sides."

Goku didn't seem to be disturbed, " You know, when the others first told me about what had happened to you, I thought it might be some kind of brainwashing. But now I think that maybe it was at the start... but you seem to be your old self again."

Talos paused, thinking hard. " I..think..you might be right... partially at any rate. But I'm not abandoning my objectives, I shall remain here for now, Goku. Good-luck whatever happens in the future."

Goku replied, " The same to you."

With that, Goku took to air air and without a backwards glance tore off into the sky.

Talos watched him go silently musing, eventually he said to himself, " Goku is one of the strangest people I've ever met... there's something unique about him... I just wish I knew what made him so... Goku-like..."

_

Elsewhere. A single white-gloved hand pocked up from the rubble of a fallen building. Vegeta lingered yet in the land of the living, though not for much longer. He slept peacefully despite this. His wounded body leaked blood into the cold earth in which he was buried. Alone forever.

A hand grasped his limp arm and hauled him from the ground. Vegeta didn't so much as twitch. His rescuer snarled, and slapped the prince!

Vegeta's eyes opened with a start, something was wrong. The pain was gone but so was the fog, he could see everything clearly, could remember the whole fight.

He groaned, " W-what's happening? Am I dead?"

A voice straight from the past shocked him to the core, " Not yet, son."

Vegeta leapt to his feet, eyes wide in shock, " F-father!"

King Vegeta nodded. He was clothed in the royal armour he had worn on the day of his death. Behind him stood two other figures from his personal history.

Raditz crossed his arms while Nappa glared at him. Nether was happy to see the prince.

Vegeta said, " Why have you come? I am dead if you're here as well."

The King shook his head, " Listen because we don't have much time. We shouldn't be here. The guardian deity of this land, Spirit King has gone. He has decided to leave this world to it's fate, to concentrate on saving the two others. His last decree was that all beings on this world be wiped out so that none could carry the seeds of the Great End to another world. What this Great End is I don't know, nor do I really care. I wouldn't have cared for this pathetic planet ether but for one thing, you my son. You are the last true Saiyan, your fate is to live. Not the fate placed upon you by some local deity, but the fate given to you by your people! We would not, can not, just stand back as our prince is killed just for being on the wrong planet. After all you've done, all you've achieved... we Saiyans were inspired, my son! We gathered every bit of Ki we had left to us, not much alone but together... we wont let you die here."

He put his hand on Vegeta's shoulder, Nappa put his hand on the king's and Raditz did the same to Nappa's.

His father spoke again, " Rise up, Vegeta, Prince of the Saiyans. Rise up and protect your people once more."

Vegeta felt his power return, the warmth of Ki coming back to his body, his power restored. The king and the others were fading now, but his father had one last thing to say: " Remember, pride everything to a Saiyan but... if you ever need to shed your pride, remember why I died. Good-bye, son."

They were gone.

_

Vegeta's eyes snapped open, pain tore through his battered form. His was still buried. Still wounded. Yet he could think clearly. Had it just been a dream? Had it been real? Not that it mattered, whatever the cause, his Ki reserves were back to full.

Though summoning it caused him great pain, Vegeta called upon his power once more. The rubble of the fallen building started to shake, golden light began to pierce through it, seeming to wipe away anything in its way. Then, it exploded!

Vegeta rose from the wreckage of his battle like a god of war, reborn to fight once more. Golden aura, golden hair and an expression of fury.

" SELEA! I'M COMING FOR YOU!"

_

Arkh, David and Strike were in Miki's ruined base, the Shaman himself was badly hurt but no-longer in mortal danger. What was more, he had somehow found it within himself to heal David and to a lesser extent, Strike. Both of them were now fighting fit though never was at their peak.

Arkh frowned.

" What happened?" David asked. He had long ago got used to the fact that the Namek had better sense than him.

" Somthing's wrong, Selea and Vegeta seem to have vanished..."

" You don't mean?"

" I can't sense them at all, there's a few traces to suggest that there was a battle but beyond that..."

David paled, " Who could defeat them without leaving a trace?"

Strike muttered darkly, " Who else? Cooler. I'll make him pay for all of this..."

Miki said, " Wont you search for survivors?"

Arkh nodded, " They might be wounded, I'll go myself."

David frowned but Arkh had anticipated him, " its safer for me to go alone, I can hide far better without you along and I'm not exactly helpless in a fight."

David had to bow to this logic. Strike wasn't happy but he did the same.

Arkh staggered back, David was behind him in a second in case he fell backwards. " what is it?"

Arkh quickly answered, " Vegeta's power just went from un-sensible to super high! He nearly knocked me out I was so focused on him..."

Strike looked over, " How high?"

Arkh answered easily, " At least angry Goku level, maybe higher. I don't think Vegeta's messing around here."

_

Selea sensed it as well of course. She turned to The Immortal and said, " Vegeta's coming, he doesn't look happy."

The Immortal frowned, " I thought you'd killed him."

She shrugged, " Me too. I must have missed."

" Kill him this time," The Immortal suggested, " And I'll take his soul to power our cause."

They saw him, a single rocket with a tail of golden energy rushing madly at them.

Selea smirked, " Poor move, Vegeta."

She let off a storm of Ki blasts at the oncoming Saiyan! They exploded on contact, shrouding him in a thick fog. She phased behind him with a double-fist but he rolled and kicked her in the face! Selea reeled backwards as Vegeta fired off a blast of his own!

Selea shot out of the cloud but caught herself easily. Her sword burst into being in her hand and she charged.

Vegeta's golden aura slammed head first into Selea's strange mostly black one. Explosions rocked the planet as they duelled at speed. Craters formed from nowhere. Minutes past. Selea and Vegeta flashed back into existence!

Locked hand in hand, the two foes struggled against each other, lightening licked across their auras. They sank into the earth as a crater formed under them.

Selea grunted and took a step forward, then another. Vegeta slowly lost ground, his expression one of shock.

He moved to break the lock and punch her but she phased behind him! He dodged her next kick by doing the same, she turned around with a fist but he phased once more. She did the same and the two were quickly battling in a phase-war. After-images were everywhere as the warriors tried to hit the real foe while at the same time avoiding getting hit themselves.

Vegeta lost it, Selea smashed him head first into the ground and followed up with a barrage of Ki missiles! He dodged between them with lightening speed but he couldn't avoid them all, one caught him in the shoulder and spun him around as Selea rained death down upon the Saiyan prince.

With a cry, Selea shot at him, smashing a powerful blow into his face. Vegeta fell back and she pursued, she kicked at his face but he ducked under it and launched an orb at her. Selea fell back to dodge it and Vegeta took advantage by shooting forward and smashing a kick into her gut.

Selea staggered back as Vegeta unleashed his own rain of death. She had no time to cry out as the Ki barrage knocked her off her feet and smashed her into the ground.

Vegeta tried to stamp on her head but Selea rolled away.

They were both breathing heavily now, but Vegeta managed to say " Give up, I don't want to kill you but if I have to I will have no regrets about it."

She smirked, " Do you best, Saiyan."

" Fine, I will!"

He shot forwards, right hand pointed at her and glowing with golden power. He launched the attack seconds before his fist connected with her face. Selea was launched into the air, he phased behind her with a downward kick! She smashed into the ground.

Vegeta charged her, Selea leapt to her feet and blocked his first fist, his second and third were harder to block but she did it. He continued his merciless assault.

Slowly, Selea was forced to give up her hard-won ground.

Confusion showed clearly on her face as she bit out, " I don't understand! You're now much faster than you ever were before, even as a Super Saiyan two!"

Vegeta smirked like a true Saiyan, " Don't you know by now? When a Saiyan is wounded badly, if they recover they become even stronger than ever. The wound you gave me was very bad."

He landed an uppercut on her chin! Selea was tossed into the sky with a feral scream, she cried out, " But you just said it! You should have died! Someone like you, your pride should have killed you instantly!"

Vegeta phased behind her with a double-fist and smashed her back to the ground. " Sometimes, things just don't turn out the way they should."

Selea rolled and slowly picked herself up. Her arms were starting to ache, not a good sign. She had so far not taken any real damage but she had been unable to do anything that Vegeta couldn't shrug off!

She snarled, " if you think I'm beaten, you're very wrong. This time I wont hold back!"

Vegeta returned with: " You think this scares me! Do your worst!"

" Fine, I will!"

She raised her hand, " Pride Buster!"

A dark-purple energy beam tore towards Vegeta with the sizzling sound of incredible energy unleashed. The prince paled, " N-no!"

He cupped his hand, " Big Bang!"

The attack had no effect upon Selea's oncoming blast, a storm of the powerful Ki orbs still did nothing to save him. The huge purple wave began to expand, as if to ensure that Vegeta was unable to dodge out of the way. The prince cried out, " I WONT LET YOU BEAT ME AGAIN!"

Selea screamed back, " There's not much you can do about it, goodbye Vegeta!"

Vegeta cried out, " I wont lose! Final Flash!"

The golden wave erupted from his hands with the full force he could give it, crashing head first into the oncoming attack. Sweat poured off Vegeta like rain as he struggled to hold his mighty attack. Selea was doing the same as the two massive beams faced off, the crackle of power, the aura of power in the air. The ground began to crack, small stones lifted into the sky. The ruined buildings surrounding the battlefield at last gave in, having taken far more damage than they were ever intended to, and collapsed to the ground.

Selea called up, " Give in! You can't win Vegeta!"

" Shut up! I can do this! I WILL do this!"

With a scream, he forced his remaining power into the beam, it surged forwards and actually began to reclaim ground from Selea's attack.

She paled, " NO! This can't happen. My power is too great!"

She cried out and super-charged her attack with all the power she had. Her Pride Buster screeched like a living thing and cut through the rival beam as if it were nothing!

Vegeta wouldn't accept it. He threw all his Ki into his failing attack as if he could save himself be sheer will power. It seemed to work somewhat, Selea's attack was slowed. Not, however, stopped. It was still coming and now it seemed to Vegeta that all he had done was to give himself more time in which to watch as his doom approached.

She laughed as it became clear that Vegeta's beam was slowly losing strength.

With one last surge of power, the Final Flash dissipated into nothing, Vegeta's limbs were heavy, he his breathing ragged. He could only watch as the attack came at him.

" Burning Attack!"

The fiery orb slammed into Selea and exploded! The Pride Buster faded now, cut off from it's power source. Selea was sent spiralling away from the point of impact, trailing smoke.

Vegeta looked towards the origin of the new attack. It was him! But it couldn't be, Trunks looked different, his hair was shorter.

This warrior had the face of his son, he was clothed in Saiyan armour, his hand was extended, gripping tightly the hilt of a wickedly sharp sword. The sword jogged his memory, it couldn't be, could it?

" Trunks?"

He turned and looked at his father, a smile formed. The smile more than anything else convinced Vegeta that this was indeed his son, so much like his own smirk but with the malice somehow taken out.

" Father!"

A harsh screech tore through the battlefield. Selea pulled herself upright, aura hungry.

" Who are you?!"
Trunks turned to her, she took a step back, " N-no... you can't be, but you went back to the future!"

Trunks glared, " Now I'm back. Prepare to die!"

Vegeta panicked, " No, Trunks! She's far too powerful! You wont stand a chance!"

Trunks smirked, his golden aura igniting with a hiss of power, " I've gotten stronger since you last saw me, I think I can take her."

Selea sprang at him, black sword formed in seconds and going for his throat, but Trunks' own blade met it! The two foes were still, auras gently flowing in the mild win. Then Selea moved, launching into a blinding series of slashes and stabs, Trunks blocked and dodged with all his considerable power, yet Selea managed to slice into his armour, drawing blood.

Trunks stabbed back, Selea somersaulted over him and turned with all her speed. Ready to jab the sword deep into his back. A golden missile smashed into her, Selea was sent rocketing away from the Saiyan.

Vegeta floated above his son, " No one harms my family!"

Selea hit the ground but before she could rise, Vegeta hurled all his power at her, all he had left, she was quickly buried under a lot of earth, thrown up by Vegeta's well-aimed attacks.

" Trunks, run, now."

" Father. I can take her!"
" NOW! You know she would have killed you there and then. Go."

" At least come with me!"

" No chance, I have nothing left to give, that last blow was all my remaining power. I'd just slow you down."
" No, I wont just leave you to die!"

Selea burst from her tomb with a cry, " I've had enough of this! I can't kill one of you without the other stopping me? Then I'll just kill you both at once!"

She cupped her hands, " Super Pride Wave!"

With a cry, she unleashed a storm of small dark K waves.

Vegeta paled, there's no getting out of this. Trunks frowned and let loose a storm of Ki blasts, but just as their bigger cousins had been, these waves were seemingly unstoppable. They surged towards the two Z Fighters.

Vegeta raised his guard, though he knew it would do him little good, those blasts would tear through him like he was nothing. He only hoped that Trunks would somehow survive.

He cried out, the first of the waves reached him and all he knew was agony.

Selea saw it all. Once the Pride Wave reached them, they fell quickly. Vegeta crumpled at once, his great pride and his already weakened body meaning that he stood little chance.

It was all over. She smirked, letting her dark aura shrink down to nearly nothing. I did it...

Though she felt guilt at what she was about to do, Selea stepped forward with the sole intention of finishing off any survivors.

Well, what were the odds? They were both still breathing! In Vegeta's case, it looked like he would die soon but she didn't want to take any chances.

Trunks staggered to his feet, the after-effects of Selea's attack still pained him, his Ki was nearly gone, his golden hair back to its original lavender. Still he stood in her way. Selea growled in annoyance. " Still ready to fight me, boy?"

Trunks sagged, " No, I have nothing left to battle you with."

Selea nodded, " Just for that, I'll make your death quick and painless. Trunks shook his head, " The only one dyeing here today, will be you."

Selea laughed, " How do you figure that? My power is far higher than what you have left. Even if your weakling father could stand up, he's far too tired to stop me."

Trunks smirked, even though it clearly pained him to do so, " Not when I give him a present, from my time."

Selea's eyes widened, Senzu beans! " Not if I have anything to say about it!"

She thrust her hand forward, propelling a small beam of dark energy through his chest!

The future warrior crumpled like his father had done not so long ago. Selea turned to The Immortal and said, " Ok, now you can take their souls."

He stalked forward, raising a new sword that he had formed. Trunks crawled towards Vegeta, his father was dizzy with blood loss. He placed a small item into the other's hand and said, " Father, hold onto it, hold onto it tightly. I'll buy is the time."

Slowly, he pushed himself to his feet, " Selea, you're not done yet!"

She turned with a hiss, " How can you still stand?! I shot you through the chest!"

Trunks staggered a bit but nevertheless said, " I wont go down without a fight, I'll kill you myself!"

He leapt at Selea, where he found the power to do this was beyond her, but he did. The mortally-wounded Saiyan made his last charge with all his power and Ki, smashing a fist into her face. Selea didn't so much as flinch.

She slapped him sideways, he twisted upon impact with the ground, tried to stand but his arms failed and he collapsed again. She stalked towards him as The Immortal backed away. Selea hoisted him into the air with one hand. The other powered up a Ki blast just in front of his face.

" Time to die, boy."

He spat, she snarled and unleashed her blast! Trunks' lifeless body spun through the air as if in slow motion, hitting the ground head-first. Selea smirked, " At last. No one to save you now, Vegeta."

The Saiyan prince was no longer laying helpless on the ground. He was standing as if curved from stone, his left hand clenched around something small. His wounds dripped blood, his body practically shook having lost so much blood.

She marched towards him, " What now, Vegeta? Goku's not around to save you now."

" He gave me this."

She paused, confusion plain on her face, " What?"

" Trunks, he gave me this.. told me he'd buy me the time to use it..."

Selea rushed at him, " I'm not letting you use that Senzu!"

He dodged out of her way easily, far more easily than he should have been able to.

She overshot him but turned. Pausing again when she saw him. Vegeta was changing.

His frame bulged, he cried out as his body began to expand. His two canine teeth began to grow out.

Selea stepped back, " What? This can't be! You don't have a tail!"

His only response was a scream as e grew again, now towering over her and showing no signs of stopping, his clothes began to rip and tear, Selea rained blows down upon him but with no tail to target, she couldn't stop the transformation.

Black fur quickly grew over his body as his snout began to form. The Immortal looked up in awe as Selea cursed to herself and tried to stop him.

At last, he had grown to his full height. With a roar the Ozaru stamped at Selea but she dodged out of the way.

Vegeta roared like an animal and shot a torrent of flames towards her, Selea couldn't dodge so she drew her wings about her like a shield and tried to ride it out.

When the flames cleared, she shot towards him and landed a fist upon his delicate snout. Vegeta roared again and staggered back. Selea smashed into his chest with all her power.

He smirked, wait, had the Ozaru smirked?!

" Good move, Selea. Very powerful."

She froze, " wait, you cant talk?"

He nodded, " You didn't think all Saiyans were uncontrolled savages when transformed did you? Ha! Only the lower classes were. They had no training but I was a prince of the planet. I can retain full control when transformed."

Selea stepped back, Vegeta continued, " And if I recall, there was a gift, remember it? A small scouter? The one that contained all the information we would ever need? Well you may not, but I do!"

with a roar, Vegeta began to shrink.

Selea staggered as she felt his mighty power rise even higher, " Not good."

Lightening crackled about him as Vegeta shrunk, some of his fur receding. His power doubling, tripling, quadrupling.

Power surged along his form as Vegeta finally ascended to his greatest transformation. At last, he had surpassed Goku in power. Super Saiyan Four, he glared at Selea with a murderous rage and shot at her with more speed than had ever been seen on that world.

Selea just had time to reflect that it wasn't looking good for her before his steel-like fist smashed into her jaw.
