8 Brawl

The beam shattered the ground, waking Krillin up with a shock. He blearily rubbed his eye and looked up. His eyes almost popped out of his skull, due to what he saw. Yamcha was fighting the great ape in that Six Paths form. They were even for now, but Yamcha was going to lose. Krillin could tell.

He was about to turn into his Elemental Mode to help Yamcha out, but then Vegeta was hit in the eye by a ki blast. He turned around to see the source and found Gohan's panting form. Vegeta, in a rage, aimed a ki blast at Gohan. Krillin rushed over to save Gohan from getting hit by the beam. But he was too far away. The beam hit him and white flash appeared. When the light cleared, Gohan was shown to be fine, but Piccolo was not. He was burned and was bleeding profusely.

'Dammit, Piccolo's dead. We don't have the dragon ball anymore!'

He gritted his teeth and with a yell transformed into his Elemental Mode, and charged the Great Ape.

.....

Piccolo was covered in burns and bruises. But he felt okay. He protected his students. He started falling to the ground. Gohan was in shock, so he did not catch him. Piccolo died with a smile on his face.

Gohan stayed there in the air, with a blank, shocked look on his face.

......

On the Lookout, Kami felt a pain run through his chest. He looked at his hand as it started to turn into dust and flake away.

Popo watched on in horror as his friend for the last 300 years started turning into dust.

Kami smiled at Popo.

"Popo, stay safe.", he said softly, before fully turning into dust and getting blown away by the wind. The only sound that could be heard on the now-empty Lookout was Mr. Popo weeping.

......

Goku landed with a smash, on the ground. He surveyed his surroundings, before noticing the big ass Ape to his left.

On his way here, Goku felt Tien, and Piccolo's ki signatures disappear. Goku felt guilty of those deaths. If only he had been faster.

But this was not the time to dwell on that. Goku powered up to his maximum, but it was not enough. He would have to use the Kaioken. Goku went into a stance and shouted "KAIOKEN!!". A bright crimson aura erupted around Goku, giving him a red hue. With a burst, he flew towards Vegeta. He flew right into the Great Ape's spine with a punch and launched it across to Yamcha.

Yamcha was delighted to see Goku alive again but focused. He remembered when Goku turned into a Great Ape as a kid. Bulma had to cut off his tail to get him to transform back. Plan ready, Yamcha yelled at Krillin.

"Krill, prepare your strongest Destructo Disk!"

Krillin nodded and started to focus. He put his hand out and a spinning yellow ki disk appeared above his palm. He grit his teeth and the attack slowly started to turn clear blue. It started to spin faster, and the air around Krillin gained a chill.

Meanwhile, Yamcha commanded his Truth-Seeker orbs to trap Vegeta. The Great Ape held in place by two black halos, restricting his movements. Goku began to attack the beast, so it would stop thrashing around, and sending energy beams. He punched Vegeta in the chest and snout, which caused him to wheeze. Krillen then sent out his attack, aiming it for the base of the tail. He put all his power into the attack, so he fell out of his Elemental Mode.

"ICE STYLE: PIERCING DESTRUCTO DISK!!!"

The attack cut through Vegeta's tail cleanly and froze the wound before it could bleed. Vegeta roared in pain before reverting to his humanoid form. He thrashed in his smaller restraints, before falling to the ground as Yamcha recalled the black orbs. Goku's Kaioken dissipated.

Yamcha stood strong, before coughing up blood and falling to his knees and returning to his base form. Krillin and Goku ran up to him and checked on him. A sound alerted their attention. Vegeta was hovering in the sky.

Vegeta began to laugh, "You think this is enough. you are weak! You're nothing compared to me!", he screamed with spittle flying out his mouth. He raised his hands and bent his knees. A bright purple energy sphere appeared in his hands.

"GALICK GUN, FIRE!!"

The sphere erupted into a giant purple beam and headed towards the Turtle School students.

Goku got into a stance and a blue beam formed between his palms. He let out the beam and screamed.

"KAMEHAMEHA!!"

A smaller blue beam impacted the bigger purple one and slowed its descent. Goku gritted his teeth, and let out a yell as he pushed his body to the limit, but he was losing. He heard two yells on his sides, Yamcha and Krillin sent out their own Kamehameha's. They combined with Goku's and matched Vegeta's beam, clashing with it.

"MASENKO! HA!"

A bright yellow beam was sent out from above and combined with the blue beam making a huge green beam that was nearing Vegeta's position. It stopped just before his position. Vegeta gritted his teeth, as veins popped up on his body. Goku then screamed.

"KAIOKEN TIMES 2!!"

A bright red aura swirled around Goku and powered the attack. The beam overtook Vegeta and a bright explosion appeared lighting up the sky. The attack launched him back to the broken city. Krillin felt Vegeta's ki diminished to a very low amount. When the smoke cleared Vegeta was shown crawling to his attack pod. Krillin being the least damaged flew over to Vegeta and started to charge a ki attack. Goku seeing this, yelled at Krillin.

"Krillin, don't!"

Krillin looked at Goku in disbelief.

"Goku, are you serious, he killed our friends! Don't you care!," Krillin shouted in anger.

"I do Krillin, but if you kill him that makes you no better than him!," Goku shouted firmly.

Krillin grit his teeth and hind and twitched, but after a minute he stopped charging the attack. Vegeta was already slumped in the attack pod. His bloodied face looked up.

"You'll regret this."

The hatch on the pod closed, hissing with smoke. It blasted out of the crater a few seconds after, into space.
