Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the car looks like the Bat-Mobil), Pok'emon (Lugia's ocarina) 'Dark Chest of Wonders' by Nightwish; (I will add more when the time comes.)

Claimer: Bakuda, Dakuba, Dawn, Aura, Tara, Karnak, Adam, 'The Universal Gods', Creculo the hedge-fox and Twilight the hedge-fox I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.

I only own half of the character known as 'Zephkuda' (Tournament to Test the Gods); the other half belongs to 'The-Blue-Zephyr.'

It would be wise to read my story: 'Tournament to test the gods'. I am having that as part of this storyline and if you don't read it, you might be a bit confused! All other OC's belong to their owners! Mathias, Blitz and Amelia belong to Chef Colette, Silver Wolf, Crystal and Saria belong to Sonicx man, Velk owns Adimid. Vyse belongs to Ryu the black fox, Chaos belongs to Inudemon02 Winter and Zephyr belongs to The-Blue-Zephyr. I have their permission!!!

Also, I have opened a poll on my profile; please use it for information on the next tournament. Thanks! Enjoy!

Everone was speechless as Bakuda said those words, Sonic gulped then laughed half heartedly; "You're joking… Right?" he asked uncertain and Bakuda shook his head; "I wish I was, but it's the only way for Shenron, the eternal dragon to have enough energy to make a wish… I hope…" he said looking down to his shoes in sorrow…

Zephyr came forward with his eyes narrowed; "You hope? You mean you could give up your life and it may not even be worth it?! I won't let you!" he shouted and Bakuda rose up his head and glared at him angrily; "It's my choice! I would gladly give my life for another! You would do the same in my shoes, would you not?!" he yelled and Zephyr fell silent for a second, Bakuda had hit the nail on the head… but refused to give up; "There must be another way!" he cried but Bakuda shook his head; "If there is, I cannot think of it," he muttered and faced forward with the 'Golden Dragonballs of Hope' started glowing brightly…

Tails leapt up and grabbed hold of Bakuda's gi; "Please don't go!" he cried and burst into tears, the wet salty tears penetrated Bakuda's resolve like bullets… yet he still kept it with him, he held Tails close for a moment; "Tails, you have to understand that it is something I must do," he said softly but Tails shook his head; "But I don't want you to go!" he said with tears flowing freely from his face, Tails Super Saiyan form diminishing… Shadow sighed with his Super Saiyan form dropping; "Your act is noble Bakuda, but is it worth it?" he asked and Bakuda raised an eyebrow as his body began to glow with the Dragonballs and Chaos Emeralds; "Is that question even necessary Shadow?" he asked back and Shadow smirked; "The choice is yours," he muttered and Bakuda nodded while Tails whipped around to face the ebony hedgehog; "Shadow!" he scolded but Shadow shrugged and crossed his arms… Amy came up to Bakuda and shook him; "This isn't right! You are only a kid! You shouldn't be doing something like this!" she cried but Vegeta snarled; "He is a true Saiyan! This is not just a sacrifice that he is doing! He will overcome it!" he boasted and Bakuda shook his head; "I may try Vegeta, but my life will be torn from my body as Shenron is summoned," he said with a fake smile on his face, Vegeta's jaw dropped; "There is no other way?!" Piccolo shouted and Bakuda shook his head as he was slowly enveloped in a bright light; "You should know, you are connected to the Dragonballs also," he smirked.

Dawn looked worried and was holding onto Amelia for reassurance, Adam was speechless, Aura was in tears and started pleading to Bakuda to stop for her but Bakuda shook his head once; "Metal took the lives of my loved ones this day and some a few days back still… I will repair the damage he has done…" he murmured and Aura was brought to tears with Amy holding her for support… Vegeta and Piccolo were speechless; Vyse, Chaos and Adimid stood together and were quickly trying to make up a plan… Crystal and Saria tried to run to Bakuda and 'knock' some sense into him but Silver held them back; "He has made his decision, let him go…" he said serious and they both fell to the floor, their resolve gone… Knuckles prepared the Chaos emeralds to lend a hand and possible to make Shenron appear with them instead of Bakuda giving his life… Tanaka stood stock still, hopeful for a better outcome, but knew it was useless; "First a warrior, Today a hero," he muttered… Bakuda turned to Adam; "You make the wish Adam, give these people light on this dark day," he requested and Adam nodded once in understanding to the 'Godling of Hopes' final request…

Bakuda rose his arms and Tails, Aura and Amy were blown back so Bakuda could complete the ritual; "Dragonballs of great age! I call you forth to unleash your rage! I surrender my Body, Soul and Power to you to help the world and give hope to its inhabitants! By your name I summon you forth!" Bakuda shouted as Bakuda turned completely golden and his body disintegrating with the Dragonballs surrounding him and beginning to absorb pieces that flew off Bakuda's body… Tails sprang up again and charged for his older brother but was too late… Bakuda's sword flew off and stopped Tails from coming closer as it too revolved in front of Bakuda…

"SHENRON OF HOPE!!!"

(Play Shenron Theme)

A blast of pure light burst from where Bakuda was just standing a minute ago, Everone shielded their eyes as a column of pure, blinding golden light burst from the Dragonballs and into the sky… the sky itself blackening at the dragons presence yet the horizon stayed the same colour… the column twisted around and limbs began to take shape… first the arms burst from the light, a large clawed and scaly arm… then the legs, golden scales covered both of them… a giant bone chilling roar filled the air when the entire dragon burst into existence, its head shaped like the original Shenron except was pure gold with black horns and crystal blue eyes…

Everone gasped at the sight of the hundred foot tall dragon that stood before them… Silver gulped once at the sight of him and sweat dropped; "Uh… what was the point of summoning a dragon that could possible eat us?!" he cried and Vegeta scoffed; "Don't you know anything boy?! This dragon can't grant any person a wish, that wish will come true!" he explained and a few people stared at the dragon in awe…

You have awoken me from my slumber…

Bakuda, the Godling of Hope, has given me enough energy to be summoned as you can see…

A few people cheered as others (the fighter that knew Bakuda) bowed their heads in sorrow… Tails was openly crying his heat out and Sonic was trying his best to console the poor kit… Adam came up to the Dragon and sighed; "Can you please-" he started but Shenron cut him off…

I may have enough power to be summoned, but I do not have enough collected energy to grant a wish of any kind…

Everyone gasped at the news, Zephyr bowed his head and a single tear fell from his eyes… Winter looked surprise at this; she hadn't ever seen Zephyr shed a tear since she had met him… Vyse shook his head; "It seems pretty hopeless," he murmured and Tails bawled harder than ever… Dakuba glanced over to dawn who was also crying… Dawn like Bakuda since he was one of the people that also cared for him… Dakuba stared up at the dragon with something burning in his chest…

Adimid and Chaos stood beside each other and both looked up at the dragon in sadness; "He needn't sacrifice himself…" they both muttered and Shadow nodded; "I should have stopped him…" he said quietly…

"HEY LOOK!!!" Knuckles yelled as something happened to Shenron… the base of Shenron, where it connected to the four dragonballs, was darkening… Wait… Four? Knuckles inspected the other Two and saw they were black with red stars instead of gold with pale gold stars… Knuckles gasped as a piece of pure dark energy passed by him, he turned around and found Dakuba glowing brightly with darkness surrounding him…

A few people gasped at this and realised what was happening… Dawn ran up to Dakuba and shook him; "No! Dakuba! No!" he pleaded and Dakuba frowned; "When the Dragon disappears, if will anyway since Bakuda is now non existent," he explained then smiled; "And if that's the case, I might as well do something noble in my life… even though it sickens me to my core," he spat and walked up to the dragonballs with pieces of energy still being ripped from his body and flowing into the 'Dark Dragonballs of Despair'…

Dakuba sighed then turned to Amelia; "Take care of Dawn for me?" he asked quietly and she nodded… Dakuba looked back to the dragonballs and sighed; "Here goes…Dragonballs of great age! I call you forth to unleash your rage! I surrender my Body, Soul and Power to you to enslave the world and cause despair to its inhabitants! By your name I summon you forth!" he chanted as his 'Sword of Despair' floated next to Bakuda's still rotating sword and began revolving next to it… Dakuba completely disintegrated after he said the final words…

"SHENRON OF DESPAIR!!!"

The base of Shenron darkened more and the entire left side of Shenron blackened slowly until Shenron was both Black and gold, his left eye turned deep ruby red… everyone gasped as the dragon roared then lowered its head further to the crowed beneath it…

Name one wish and it shall be done

Zephyr stood stock still as he saw the new dragon appear but his heart lifted when he heard those words; "It worked!" he shouted and a few everyone cheered except Tails and Dawn, who were bawling at the top of their lungs and Amelia tried to calm them down…

Adam walked back up to the dragon and cleared his throat; "Please revive all who Metal God has killed!" he asked and Shenron of Hope/Despair nodded…

It shall be done…

The dragon's eyes glowed red and blue, from each of his eyes, and its glow spread all over the city… Sonic rushed up to Chris and felt his pulse but he found none… his head hanged in disappointment; "It didn't work…" he muttered… but…

"Sonic?" Chris asked as he slowly opened his eyes… Sonic leapt up into the air in joy as Chris Thorndike was revived from death… people all over the city woke up from what seemed like a long slumber, all those people that were destroyed completely by Metal God suddenly appeared back into existence as if nothing actually happened to them… Sonic helped Chris up and Linsey and Nelson rushed over to hug their son who they thought they'd never see again… Sonic looked over to Tails and Dawn, who were still very heartbroken; "I wish that all of the victims were brought back… Tails will never be the same…" he muttered and Chris turned around; "What happened Sonic?" he asked and Sonic explained the situation, including Bakuda's and Dakuba's sacrifice for the people that Metal killed. Chris hung his head; "He shouldn't have," he murmured…

Your wish has been granted

Farewell

The dragon started to shine brightly but Dawn and Tails looked up with pain in their eyes; "Please bring our brothers back! Please!" they begged and Shenron growled.

They cannot be revived since I do not have enough power for a second wish…

Tails and Dawn looked down to their shoes and began to sniffle again; "But… he's my brother… I love him…" they said in union…

(Play 'Heroes of our Time' by 'DragonForce')

The Chaos Emeralds began to shine a very faint glow…

Zephyr shook his head, tears in his eyes; "He was a good friend," he muttered and Winter nodded; "He helped all in need, even gave his life for others that maybe couldn't even care less…" she muttered…

They grew brighter…

Knuckles looked at the emeralds in confusion, but was the only one that was doing so…

Shadow showed anger on his face; "He saved me, from myself and from a frozen prison! And I have done nothing to repay him! He cared for me, even though I hut him sometimes…" Chaos nodded; "Such people are hard to come by," she commented.

The Chaos Emeralds shone even brighter and the swords of Hope and Despair shone with them faintly…

Silver, Saria and Crystal sighed; "He saved all our lives once, back when Karnak was on the loose… We hardly got on, but we always defend each other in times of need…" he said and Saria nodded. Crystal looked up to the darkened heavens; "He cared more for his friends than power," she commented as she remembered Bakuda cutting the rod of light in half to stop himself hurting other peoples feelings…

The Swords glowed and transformed into the 'Chaos blades'… one green, the other red…

Mathias, Blitz, Adimid, Vyse and Amelia said nothing but similar things were in their minds…

Shenron's eyes glowed brightly…

Adam and Aura stood next to each other and sighed; "He was the best of the Godlings, he didn't care for glory of power, but the well being of others…" Adam commented and Aura sighed again; "He was the only one that helped me when I had my cancer," she said quietly…

Knuckles shielded his eyes from the light from the Chaos Emeralds that surrounded Shenron… he gasped in realisation…

Vegeta and Piccolo looked at each other for a moment, Vegeta had tears in his eyes, this only happened once in his life before; "He was like a son to me…" he murmured and Piccolo looked up to the sky also; "He and Gohan were the first ones to think me… as a friend…" he muttered…

Suddenly the Shenron of Hope and Despair growled loudly as his scales shone brightly with every colour of the rainbow… the colours of the Chaos Emeralds! A few people gasped as they realised this…

"What's happening?!" Sonic shouted and Knuckles looked around and smiled; "Have you ever heard the Hymn of the Chaos Emeralds?" he asked and everyone looked confused… Knuckles sighed; "How about this particular line: 'Our hearts intensify their power'…" he announced and everyone gasped as they saw the Chaos Emeralds spread all around Shenron, with the two Chaos blades revolving around the base…

I now have the energy to grant one more wish…

Tails and Dawn suddenly jumped up; "BRING OUR BROTHERS BACK!!!!" they cried and Shenron nodded.

It shall be done…

Tails and Dawn cried out with joy… two figures slowly faded into existence next to the two swords that revolved around Shenron… They both wore gi's and looked human with monkey tails… everyone cheered as Bakuda and Dakuba were brought back from the dead! Tails and Dawn launched at them and both gave them death hugs that could send them right back! Bakuda looked confused for a moment then hugged Tails back; "Thanks bro…" he muttered and looked over to Dakuba ho was doing the same with Dawn…

Your wishes have been granted, I have to go now

Farewell!

Bakuda watched as the dragon disappeared and was sucked back into the Dragonballs that they owned, the Dragonballs shone brightly instead of turning to stone like the originals… Bakuda and Dakuba picked up their Dragonballs and put their swords back, they turned to each other and gave a curt nod… the Chaos Emerald were sucked back into Bakuda's Sword…

Bakuda was about to look at the others when a bright light shone to his right and left! Everyone shielded their eyes as a white and black portal opened up next to Dakuba and Bakuda… Bakuda stared at it for a moment and sighed, he turned to Tails who was also confused and then to Shadow; "Guys? It's time to go," he muttered and Tails and Shadow raised their eyebrows; "Already?!" they shouted and Sonic came forward; "You have to leave?! Now?!" he asked and Bakuda nodded, Dakuba, Dusk and Dawn had already left, awn had to say goodbye to Amelia first…

Bakuda looked to the others and smiled; "I guess I'll see you later!" he said and everyone nodded, smiling… Tails briefly hugged everyone he was to leave behind but promised them that he'd visit in his dreams… Zephyr came up to Bakuda and shook his hand; "Don't be a stranger Bakuda," he asked and Bakuda smirked; "I always turn up every so often, weather you like it or not!" he said and Zephyr laughed; "See ya!" he said as he and Winter disappeared… Blitz, Amelia and Mathias nodded once and gave Bakuda a 'thumbs up' before returning to their dimension… all of them disappeared one by one until they were alone again… Sonic hugged him one more time before Shadow, Bakuda and Tails stepped up to the portal… Bakuda looked back one more time and smiled to the others; "I'll see ya soon!" he shouted happily and they all jumped in…

Sonic sighed then looked at Knuckles who seemed fretted that he forgot to take the emeralds back from Bakuda; "I guess… he's off on just another adventure… Goodbye… Tails… Shadow… and especially you Bakuda…"

Bakuda would return… but for now… he, Tails and Shadow were off to the next dimension… if they need help… they know that they have allies… always…

Next time on Rise of the Saiyan god! Bakuda, Tails and Shadow arrive in a new world but there seems to be a tournament happening that grabs Bakuda's interest… but evil is in the works…

Next episode is;

Rise of the Saiyan God: Devil Within!

Thanks for Reading and Reviewing!

P.S. Please review on my new tournament poll story for me to decide the next tournament…

Bakuda…
