Dragon Ball R?

By C. A. E. Jones.

Part 4: World War Z - War Games

Disclaimer: DBZ? Mine? Nope! And Azuri definitely isn't! Notice the relative lack of depth in certain places? That's called " o.o I'm not good at hijacking characters! " Also, Iciicla isn't mine; credit for her goes to Sgamer82, the author of the first fanfic I had the pleasure to read... Nope, I own that not!


Yabu: *shows up*

Katar: >_<

Kairin: Huh? Hmm... Another saiyan. As though we didn't have enough already.

Katar: Don't forget that we're getting another one...



Broli: RAAAA!

Not-fatty: Can't we control this freak?

Broli: Freak? I'm the DEVIL!

Freeza: He's all psychotic muscle. He may have somehow survived when I obliterated the rock he was on, but it clearly didn't do well for his brain. Oh, and he hates Goku. And his father tried to control him and it didn't work.

Not-Fatty: He's going to kill us all if we don't keep him caged.

Cell: Hahahaha... Even if you and your roundish partner in crime can keep him in a room, that won't stop him from destroying things. Let's let him out. Most of Goku's gang is under us as it is... either Broli is a liability to us, or an asset--let's let him show us which.

Freeza: Now now, I thought we decided to play it a little safer than that until we're prepared for open war with Goku and Vegeta.

Cell: Don't forget Goku's son... Mr. Dartin may be the only one of us strong enough to handle him at full power. Then again... We have yet to see just what I can do now...

Not-fatty: If you haven't noticed, our main magical ninja kinda turned on us and you flattened him. If anything goes wrong from here, we're in a bit of trouble.

Freeza: Hah hah hah hah hah! Don't be so sure. Haven't I told you of my faithful servants that nearly had these earth monkeys on their knees without besting them at strength? Now that we have the muscle, we can apply the same tactic with a few twists...

Broli: STOP TALKING!

Cell: Well, what do you say? Do we let our continuity-defying friend take out his rage?

Freeza: So long as he doesn't interfere in my experiments. We may have lost Elanmak, but we have a few new resources that could easily make this war... far... more entertaining.

Broli: KAKAROTTOOOOO! *Flies off and smashes things*



Gohan: Huh? Oh no... not him.

Goten: Umm... one of the big guys is heading this way...

Broli: KAKAROT!

Goten: Huh? I haven't eaten that!

Broli: *smashing*

Gohan: Ok, enough fooling around. *Elder Kai unlock power thingy* *Smacks Broli in the face*.

Broli: RAAAAA!

Gohan: I seem to remember you having a better grasp on language when we first met.

Broli: Better grasp? *Grabs Gohan by the throat* JUST DIE! *Slams Gohan into the ground repeatedly*.

Gohan: *blasts free*. For a dead guy you're pretty tough. But I'm still going to send you right back.

Goten: Something is wrong...



Shairo: *exists*. -_- *sleeps*

Kairin: ...

Katar: Well, that was painful.

Yabu: Hmm. *runs off after something*

Kairin: Wait, what's he doing?

Katar: How should I know?

Ginyu: Introducing... Body version two point new!

Freeza: Bring me back a saiyan.

Ginyu: It will be done, Lord Freeza.



Azuri: O.O?

Ginyu: *strange energy*

Cell: Trunks and Vegeta at the same time? This could be quite the challenge. Heh heh heh.

Vegeta: Wipe that smerk off your face, Cell! I haven't been cheating to get strong quite the way you have.

Cell: Oh, really? *cough*Babidi.

Vegeta: There is far more than just that, I'm afraid.

Cell: You don't seem to understand. Or was our last battle not clear enough? Haven't you realized that I have been ruling this planet for the past year?

Trunks: You have some pretty clever plans, but they're stuck behind your delusions of grandure.

Cell: If you insist. *Blasts Trunks into a mountain*

Vegeta: Mistake. *Attacks; Cell is indeed pretty good, so they're about even for now*



Dartin: I'm bored.

Goku: There are people that could use my help, if you don't mind.

Dartin: But, you see, you are one of the few challenges on this planet. And the other is occupied at the moment.

Goku: No, I think I have somewhere else to be. *Puts fingers to his forehead*

Not-Fatty: Not so fast...

Fatty: *Forms walls of rocks and water around Goku, then traps him in place*

Goku: Nice try, but that won't work outdoors.

Not-fatty: It stopped you from teleporting, didn't it?

Goku: Well, I guess it did.

Dartin: Now, let's play.

*They fight; Goku isn't doing so well*





Kairin: *Waiting for people to turn their back so he can run back to the others*. I really shouldn't have to do this like this...

Ginyu: *Makes Azuri trap Trunks in the mountain where Cell blasted him*

Katar: What ... the...

Freeza: Very good, Ginyu. But we aren't done yet. Gathering the dragon balls would be nice, and don't forget the other warriors that are still out there.

Ginyu: Don't worry, Lord Freeza. So long as Vento keeps feeding me this energy, my control can't be broken.

Katar: Ginyu! *Attacks*

Ginyu: Not so fast! *Makes Azuri block*

Katar: Hmmph. *Tries to fight Zombie! Azuri*

Ginyu: Now it's your turn...

Kairin: Oh, wonderful.

Kejek: The two saiyan girls, at that.

Kairin: So we just need to break that energy of his.

Kejek: It won't be hard if we can just capture some of it and reflect it on them. It should cancel out what Ginyu has. And that can be done with a little bit of magic.

Kairin: Right. So I attack and you absorb it?

Kejek: No, you're going to do the magic.

Kairin: ... What?

Kejek: They know I'm the wizard, and I think it'll work better if you're the one to try and break his hold on Katar.

Kairin: Well... ok...

Ginyu: This game doesn't come with timeouts, boys...

Kejek: Ok, Let's go! Stupefy!

Azuri: *Deflects*

Ginyu: Not enough...

Kairin: ... O.O. *Tries to grab Ginyu-energy with wand*

Kejek: That's it... Ok, and one for the road... Protago!

Katar: o_o

Yabu: I believe this is yours. *gives Shairo to Katar*

Kairin: ... Crap, King Cold again... and Cooler.

Yabu: You forget the part where I'm strong. *leaves*

Ginyu: Are we just going to sit here watching soapOpras all day?

Azuri: *Hits Ginyu in the side with lightning*

Trunks: *busts out of mountain*. I think someone dropped this. *Throws a rock at Ginyu and he goes flying*.

Azuri: That wasn't fun.

Trunks: Is that an understatement...



Videl: *throws a rock at Broli*

Broli: Kakarotto!

Goten: *sigh*. Hey, I wasn't rea-- *gets punched* Aaah!

Gohan: *attacks Broli from behind*. From the looks of it, I'm a lot stronger than you this time. So do yourself a favor and stop and think.

Broli: I'll have time when everyone is dead! *Smacks Gohan some*

Gohan: *Knocks Broli into a pit of lava*

Videl: You could have done that sooner!

Gohan: Heh, well, he has issues. Though I can't say I'm surprised they didn't get resolved.

Broli: GRAAAA! *Big energy blast*

Gohan: Woah! Have a masenko! *Beam struggle*



Cell: Well, I guess I should move on to other things.

Vegeta: What?

Cell: I wouldn't want you to get beat up and get a boost in power, now would I?

Vegeta: I'm not going to let you leave. You're up to something. And I will not be outsmarted by you!

Cell: I'm afraid you don't have any choice in the matter.

Vegeta: *Grabs*

Cell: I think you've forgotten something. *teleports to Yamcha's dojo*

Yamcha: ... o.o.

Sejes: We can take him if we work together!

Vegeta: Stay back, you idiots! He came here so I wouldn't risk hurting you.

Yamcha: Everyone, out, now!

Sejes: *shoos away students*

Cell: Hmmph. Not so fast. *Throws a blast at Sejes*

Yamcha: *Jumps in the way and gets knocked to the ground*. Thanks a lot... Vegeta...

Vegeta: Grrr...

Cell: *teleports out*

Yamcha: Hey... a Senzu bean would be... really nice...

Vegeta: It's not my fault you have to get your ass handed to you all the time!

Yamcha: Yeah... you could try saying that while I'm not on the ground struggling to stay conscious...

Vegeta: I'm not afraid of you, you know.

Yamcha: I figure you'd stopped being such a jerk by now...

Sejes: Just stop... *gets something for the wound*.

Student: He ... just ... took one hit and that much happened? And we're learning from this guy?

Sejes: Hey, shut up! That was Cell, you n00bs! Or didn't you see him toss your precious Satan into a mountain and then rearrange the landscape? And he's in an undead body now; you can't martial arts him away! I bet Yamcha could put all of you in the hospital even while he's injured!

Vegeta: *sigh*. *walks out*

Sejes: You'd better be going for senzu!

Yamcha: Sejes, just leave him alone. Ugh... *passes out*.





Tien: *Gets the drop on Fatty and Not-fatty*

Chaozu: *Drops rocks on them*

Not-Fatty: Wonderful...

Tien: Goku, how you doing?

Goku: *manages to land for a second* I'm not dead.

Tien: You should be able to teleport out now.

Goku: *teleports behind Dartin's next attack and kicks him in the back* Thanks!

Piccolo: <Goku, you might want to get a senzu bean to Yamcha; he's mortally wounded.>

Goku: That's not good!

Dartin: *charges*

Goku: *teleports away*

Dartin: *turns on Tien and Chaozu*

Chaozu: Can we take all three of them?

Tien: No.

Dartin: *Blast*

Tien: *Grabs Chaozu and flies toward Fatty and Not-fatty*

Not-fatty: Nice try, three eyes. *Punches Tien, who blocks with ease*.

Chaozu: Vegeta is on his way.

Tien: Let's go.

Not-Fatty: Run away.

Dartin: Someone will die today. *Blocks Tien and Chaozu's escape*

Yabu: *kicks Dartin in the face*

Tien: Where did he come from?

Yabu: The other side of eternity.

Vegeta: *Shows up*. I think the odds are in our favor now.

Dartin: I don't think you realize just what I'm made of.

Vegeta: Clearly I don't. I don't think it's interesting enough to warrant talking about it, though.



Goku: *Gets a senzu to Yamcha just in the nick of time*

Sejes: Vegeta's an asshole.

Goku: Yeah, sometimes. But he's still got it where it counts. He was the one that made sure Piccolo got me the senzu order. And the dragon of Namek brought him back when he was supposed to exclude evil people.

Sejes: Umm, does Captain Ginyu ring any bells?

Goku: Oh, come on; he was a frog for a really long time! Actually Bulma was really surprised he survived for so long. I'll bet living in the wild took the evil out of him by the time of Buu.

Sejes: He sent an army of mutant frogs to stop you from finding Freeza's control center...

Goku: Well, I guess some habbits don't die so easily. Actually... I think he's... fighting right now.

Sejes: And you're smiling.

Goku: Yeah... He's dealing with Trunks and Azuri and a couple from your group. And Freeza's over there... but I don't think they're causing any trouble.

Sejes: *sigh*.



Broli: *Hits Gohan in the back*

Gohan: Huh?

Krillin: *Comes in a Piccolo suit*

Gohan: Umm, no, I'm fine.

Krillin: *sigh*. Oh well.

Videl: Gohan, watch out!

Broli: DIE!

Gohan: Yigh! *Jumps* *kicks Broli in the face*

Broli: *charges*

Krillin: Man, this guy doesn't know when to quit.

Gohan: This is your last warning, Broli! Stop now, or I'm finishing this.

Broli: KAKAROTTOOOO!

Gohan: Fine. KAMEHAMEHA!

Broli: *Tries to fight it with limited success*

Goten: *Tag*

Broli: KAKAROTTOOOOO! *Goes flying*

Goten: Well, that's that.

Gohan: No, that didn't get rid of him. Being in this form makes it impossibly difficult to destroy these guys, even if we can overpower them. If he was alive, that would have been the end. Darn it!



Broli: *Falls on the ground*

*clickick footstep sound*

Cell: Ah, Broli. You're strong, but I guess you weren't a match for that kind of power. Don't worry... I can put that power of yours to good use.

Liquaro: Hey!

Cell: What?

Rani: What are you up to?

Cell: Be gone. *Blasts at them*

*They teleport to the ground*.

Liquaro: You're not gaining any more power.

Cell: And I suppose you think you're going to stop me?

Rani: That's right.

Cell: Hahahahahaha! *Throws them both into the air with a ki attack*

Liquaro and Rani: *Joining hands* Tahea... Spirit Attack! *A white sphere of light grows outward from them and soon engulfs Cell*

Cell: What... the... AAAAH! You aren't strong enough to damage me...

Broli: ... Ka...ka...

Cell: No more games. Ka Me Ha Me Haa!

*Liquaro and Rani combine powers to try and deflect the attack, but are still overwhelmed and thrown back... into a cave that opens up in space...*



Goku: Woah, something strange just happened.

Sejes: What?

Goku: Yeah, non-stop action gets kind of crazy some times... but I've got to go! *teleports out*

Cell: ... Goku? And now Gohan and some others are coming... *Teleports away*.

Goku: What happened here?

Rani: *gets up*. Uh... ... ... :O

Liquaro: ... I think we died.

Rani: This isn't good.

Goku: You're still here...

Liquaro: But... we shouldn't be. Whatever we did... it isn't supposed to happen.

Rani: ... No... this is bad.

Broli: Kakarot....

Goku: UhOh... He's getting up.

Broli: Kakarot... KAKAROT!

Goku: Can't you get it out of your head that I'm the source of all of your problems? Come on; the whole crying thing was years ago! Can't we just be training partners or something? You'd be an awesome ally!

Broli: KAKAROTTOOOO! *Attacks*

Goku: Oh well. *kicks* *is thrown back anyway*.

Gohan: Man, he's still up?

Goku: Yeah, I guess my voice just gave him a little more.

Videl: You can take him out this time... he's no match for both of you after the beating Gohan gave him!

Goku: I might have a bit of trouble without going Super Saiyan three, and I won't pretend Dartin didn't cost me some energy.

Broli: KAKAROOOOOTTTTOOOOOO!!! *Smacks Goku around a little*

Gohan: *Elbows Broli in the back of the head*

Broli: Graaaa! *Blasts Videl*

Gohan: Videl! Hey, you didn't have to do that!

Videl: :O

Liquaro: *Pulls out of the cave*.

Rani: ... Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Liquaro: If it worked on us, maybe it can work in reverse on Broli.

Gohan: *Beats the everloving crap out of Broli*

Rani: Gohan! This way!

Goku: Huh? Oh, of course! *Goes SSJ2 and jumps in to knock Broli toward the others*

Liquaro: I don't know if it will appear for him. I don't even know how we accessed it.

Videl: Just... Try...

Broli: KAKAROOOTTTOOO!11!1!

Gohan: This has nothing to do with him, dumbass! *flies in and knocks Broli back into the cave*

Goku: Gohan, now, get ready!

Gohan: I know.

Broli: Kakarot...

Goku: Now!

*Goku and Gohan both fire a combined energy wave at Broli; of the three of them, Broli has lost the most energy in the fighting, so it is only a matter of time before Broli falls to the ground, one arm all but gone, the rest of him badly damaged. Oh, and he's dead. And not the way Cell is, either.*

Mr. Satan: Videl! Great work!

Videl: It's not all happy, Dad...

Mr. Satan: What do you mean? You helped take that monster down!

Videl: ... We had to break so many laws of death to do it... Dad... we had to die...



Goku: Woah, man... I think Vegeta could use some help. I don't know if we can handle Dartin and Cell after all of that.



*Goten, Trunks, Azuri, Kairin, Katar, and Kejek are busy trying to run Freeza and his cronies away... and doing quite well*



Tien: ... We're still overwhelmed.

Not-Fatty: Oh, is that not the truth?

Dartin: Vegeta. I have chosen your death.

Vegeta: Hmmph. Bring it on.

Dartin: *creates a wall of ki from the earth around him and plows it into Vegeta, knocking him back and to the ground*

Yabu: *Flies in and wrestles with Dartin in mid air*

Not-Fatty: Would you like to deal with the prince?

Fatty: *Goes to work at building a prison around Vegeta*

Tien: *Dodonpa*

Not-fatty: You are really getting on my nerves!

Dartin: *lands amid the assembled and creates a giant explosion that throws everyone back*

*Dartin leaves with Fatty and Not-fatty*



Krillin: Oh great, that's not good...

#18: *Pulls Vegeta from the rubble*

Krillin: Tien, hey, you all right?

Tien: Guh...

Yabu: *flies off*





Bulma: Bad day, I take it?

Goku: You could say that... But we did take down Broli!

ChiChi: Finally, one of those monsters is gone! That gives a lot more time for more important things.

Goku: Well, I think we were pushing it today. I mean... They pretty much have us at every turn.

Bulma: But now the odds are in our favor; you and Gohan can take down any one of those guys now that you've done it once.

Goku: Well, I don't know. It was under very special circumstances... I don't know if we can do it again.

Bulma: I still don't see why we try to have Shenron send them back...

Goku: Well, we lost the one person that might have been able to get rid of all of them. I don't know...





Iciicla: >.>. <.<. Ceeeeeeelllll. *finds a chibi Cooler somehow*

Cooler: ... Mother?

Iciicla: Why haven't you destroyed this place?

Cooler: Surely you noticed how much power I have on this planet. Rebuilding an empire...

Iciicla: But you're stuck on this miserable mudball and aren't trying to do anything!

Cooler: On the contrary... A lot his happening. It is all just a matter of time. But if we act too quickly, the saiyans...

Iciicla: You aren't playing chess with the saiyans! You can destroy this planet right now and they won't even notice in time to stop you! And then they'll all die, and we will escape!

Cooler: Do you know we'll survive once the planet is gone? We can survive in space, yes, but we aren't here in our normal bodies.

Iciicla: The saiyans are no threat to us. We are many, and we are secretive. Together, we can ware them down. One by one if we must, but I see no need--our family could weed out the weaklings with ease. Cell and the pointy-eared enigma are easily a match for Goku and Vegeta. Only one other is in that range of power... and between us, we can defeat them! But you lost a useful power recently, didn't you?

Cooler: Broli? He was a psychotic animal with no sense of control. He was more dangerous than useful.

Iciicla: Fool! You had the saiyans at your mercy! Had you stepped in, you could have killed the young ones. Had Cell stayed in the fight, Vegeta would be dead! Had I been there... Broli would be with us, and one of the others would be dead! Why didn't this happen?

Cooler: We are spread out; unorganized; you weren't even with us until...

Iciicla: Cell has arranged everything until now! Isn't it obvious? He has been slowly feeding his own power, playing the board; his plan is to make it impossible for anyone to surpass him; he seaks absolute power, and knows that an all out battle that involves us working as a team would ruin that. Instead, he lets us be humiliated by moving his pieces--and therefore influencing our freedoms! He left your brother to be foiled by children! He left Broli to die at the hands of Goku and his son. He retreated when he had a chance of finishing Vegeta; he eliminated that crude excuse for a chaotic. He has his own agenda, and it is not in our best interests--he treats us as pawns. Little does he realize we are the royalty...

Cooler: What are we going to do, then?

Iciicla: Unfortunately, Cell has gained enough power that we can't attack him directly. And he is a useful power if we can keep him in check. We must organize ourselves--we must become a unified councel. Then nothing can stop us!





Kairin: Hmm. I didn't want to wind up here.

Lady: Hmm.

Kairin: ... I sense something evil.

Lady: Whaaaat?

Kairin: Well, you could have been raised evil, and chose to be different... <Or not...>

Lady: Hmm. You should wait here until someone can arrive. Oh, I think I need to go pick up a few things. *leaves*

Shairo: ...?

Kairin: I'm just as confused as you.

Zex: *Big long speech*. I, Zex Marquees!

Shairo: It's Zex! *runs over to where the Lady's husband is sitting in a throne-esque chair near the indoor pool... umm... watching something?* *Looks in a nearby computer and notices a disk inside has a familiar label*. How did this get here?

Lady's husband: Oh, well, take it then.



Kairin: ... This is messed up.

Kejek: What now?

Kairin: This! *Puts CD on a table*. How did this get here? This is one of ours... Something's not right about these people...

Cooler: >.>. <.<. Boo!

*CD hits the table and breaks slightly*

Kairin: ...

Lady: Oh, I can fix that.

Cooler: *Steals fragments of the disk*



King Cold: Very good.

Freeza: Oh, this is rich. They tried to fight Sir. X. ... And were nearly wiped out! Hahahahaha!

King Cold: Where is that fat wannabe these days, anyway?

Freeza: They're under the impression they defeated him. I wouldn't be surprised. That toad was all talk. But who knows; he's managed to avoid getting stamped out this long.

Iciicla: We're ready, then.

Kairin: ...!

Krillin: Hey, something... woah, that's a lot of Freeza-lookalikes...

#18: Pfft. They're weaker than me, remember?

Kairin: What are they doing? And why here? *Follows to a platformy playset thing near an office in the ... really... big house*.

Cooler: How will this help us? We had a chance; we can get another one, and we'll be ready for that one, especially with your strategies.

Iciicla: Why, Cooler? This is why! *boom*

Krillin: ...!!! Did she just vape him?

Kejek: This is either really good, or really bad.

Freeza: It is far more important to fit in your role: Leader, or follower. Something he failed to grasp.

Iciicla: Hold your tongue, Freeza. We have guests. And we have work to complete.

Shairo: *Sneaks in and grabs some disk fragments and gets out*

#18: You aren't seriously brushing us aside, are you, Icesickle?

Freeza: Oh, so the trophy wife wants to talk dirty to my mother? With my father and I standing beside her?

#18: I can fix that last part if you want.

Freeza: Well, forgive me if your clothes get dirty. *deathbeam*

#18: *flies in, hits Freeza overt he head, elbows him in the back, then stomps him to the ground* *goes back to her original position*

King Cold: My word...

Iciicla: Don't act so surprised, Cold!

Freeza: Hmmph. I guess my guard was down. Make no mistake, it won't happen again.

Iciicla: That's right. *BOOM!*

Kejek: Bad. If she's willing to vape Freeza over that...

Krillin: Yeah... I'd figure Freeza getting humiliated would send her after us.

King Cold: Ah... what...

Iciicla: Do you have something to say?

King Cold: This... you just... this is how we're going to win?

Iciicla: I know what I am doing. *Gathers things and leaves*

Kairin: That was very weird. And... Omenous.

Shairo: *Lies on playset platform thing, that is designed to slide along the main platform harmonically*

Lady: Watcha doing?

Shairo: Nothing?

Lady: It can go much farther than that! *jumps on the slidy platform*

Shairo: Eek! *scrambles to get off of it, but it comes back over him once he's below it*

Ginyu: I am now the boobyman.

Shairo: AAAAHHH! *Runs out screaming*

Ginyu: *pursues up a set of stairs*

Shairo: *cornered*

Zalantar: *Opens door*. *sigh*.

Ginyu: ...?

Krillin: Ginyu! Am I going to have to beat you up in your own body this time?

Ginyu: Grr... *Leaves*



Kejek: ... *sigh*. Ok... Broli... into the cave of Docho Shini. And that ... gave him his body back? I don't know how that is possible... but the fact that a couple other people went through might have something to do with it. And Iciicla... umm... I can't figure her out...

Elohssa: Well, neither can I, but I do know that Sir. X is alive.

Kejek: ...!

Elohssa: I just came from an arena featuring a few of his warriors. Oh, and I'm a saiyan under this ... cybornetic... stuff.

Goku: *teleports in*. Umm, why do you have an eyeball for a head? Nice hair, though...

Elohssa: Well, several saiyans were away when Freeza destroyed Vegeta. He dealt with most of them easily enough, since they were all places he expected. The only survivors were those that sided with Paragus, those that escaped into Jaavan's realm, and those he didn't know about, like you. Planet Vegeta is a big place. Or at least it was. Freeza only saw one side of it; enough cover for me to be sent away. But I didn't fair so well. Actually, I was about like you... only without those inexplicable multiplications of powers. Which I know about because I've read scouter transcripts of your fight with Freeza. Quite inspiring, actually... but then Sir. X did some remodeling to my body... A few locals were able to save me, but... I ... wasn't quite happy with the results.

Goku: You... killed them?

Elohssa: In hindsight it was stupid. But rage is a very deadly thing when uncontrolled.

Goku: Well, if you're on our side... We've got this game in the bag!

Kejek: Iciicla. Killed. Cooler and Freeza.

Elohssa: ...?

Kejek: She's up to something. Something big if she was willing to reduce the power of the darklings like that. The only reason I can think of is to prevent Cell from using them, but... the four of them could have taken us down if they had attacked as a team. Well, maybe not... but it would have been a tough battle.

Goku: Weird. I guess ... wait, why are you here?

Elohssa: Ah, yes, that.
