Battle of Gods Saga
Canterlot High Auditorium
Goku and Vegeta with the rest of the gang arrived in the school auditorium ready for the Battle of the Bands. It had been a pretty awkward morning for Goku though. Ever since his vision about Twilight and what Lord Beerus, the god of destruction, had told him, he felt.....alert like something was going to happen at any second. Vegeta asked what was the matter, but Goku just replied that he was ok. Of course Vegeta didn't believe him knowing that the low-class saiyan was a terrible liar, but decided to ignore it.
The rest of the girls and Spike noticed his change of behavior as well. The selfless, happy, and innocent teen was now a paranoid and serious saiyan, he even almost blasted Pinkie when she surprised him to wake him up this morning. Goku would look at Twilight from time to time trying to convince himself that it was just a dream and that he was being nervous for nothing, but his senses as a saiyan and a fighter knew she had great power that could even rival Piccolo's and maybe even him, with the right training.
So why was he supposed to train her? Clearly Beerus is more skilled and experienced for the job so why him?
"Kakarot, what is the matter with you?" asked Vegeta snapping Goku from his thoughts.
"O-oh me? Nothing! Just..uh..thinking about the competition that's all!"
"Well stay focused! Since you were staring in space like an imbecile. the girls want us to stay close by just in case things go south." Goku looked at the super saiyan with confusion at this.
"Shouldn't you stay way since the Dazzlings almost took control over you?"
"What makes you think they had control? I'll be fine."
"This is not the time to live up to your pride right now. If they are able to get to you, they'll have enough power to take over the planet."
Vegeta crossed his arms and turned his back on Goku and gave a low grunt. Vegeta believed that those three witches wouldn't be able to control him or his power. But then again they almost did back in the cafeteria, making him stuck in his super saiyan form. That was their mistake though, now he has enough power to obliterate them when this is all over.
"Vegeta, you don't need to take risks to prove that your superior.....think of Rainbow, how would she react if she found out you were the Dazzling's puppet." explained Goku as Vegeta eased up and turned back around.
"FIne, but we'll be in the back and if anything seems out out of place I'm blasting those sirens in to oblivion." Goku chuckled a little at this.
"Deal."
"So ya' guys and girls read for this?" asked Applejack.
"Were ready as long as that spell works right Twilight?" replied Sunset as Twilight gave a nervous nod.
"Alright girls! My band-" started Rainbow.
"Our band." interrupted Rarity.
"Worked really hard for this exact moment, so lets get out there and make me look awesome!" the girls all rolled their eyes a Rainbow's inspirational speech while Goku and Vegeta both let out a chuckle. The groups attention was then turned to the microphone as Principal Celestia, with Vice Principal Luna beside her, tapping it testing for feedback. Once she got everyone in the auditoriums attention she began to speak.
"Welcome contestants to the Battle of the Bands! As you all know this event is a way to make money for our music program as it needs money for it to function and we thank all of you for participating in this event for this cause. How this will work is that we will have a bracket of bands going head to head at each round with me and Vice Principal Luna as the judges. The winner of that said round will move on to the next and the final two will compete tonight for the grand prize. So without further ado, let's begin!" announced Principal Celestia as she and Vice Principal Luna took their seats at a desk in front of the stage.
The girls all walked to their appropriate seats in the crowd of contenders and sat down ignoring the glares that they got. Until they noticed that Goku and Vegeta were still standing. "Uhrm, Goku and Vegeta darling, would you two like to sit down?" Rarity asked raising an eyebrow.
"Me and Vegeta are going to the back, make sure nothing happens while you guys are up there." explained Goku.
"Also to keep a look out for the Dazzlings," added Vegeta, "strange...I can't sense them."
"Same here, but good luck on stage," Goku said before looking to Twilight, who noticed him, "and be careful." the girls were confused at Goku's change of attitude with Twilight, but before they could ask the two teenage saiyans had already walked to the back of the auditorium. "What was that all about with Goku, Twilight?" asked Pinkie.
"I don't know? He's been acting like this towards me ever since this morning." explained Twilight.
"Yeah, we noticed too. Do you think he knows something you don't?" suggested Sunset.
"Or maybe he's just worried about you." added Fluttershy. This made Twilight blush a little. Was he worried about her? Well, he should be if this doesn't work then the Dazzlings will take over the school, maybe even the world. But why is it only with her and not the rest of her friends? "It doesn't matter now," said Twilight as the rest of her friends nodded in agreement as Principal Celestia announced the first contestants.
"First up we have Canterlot High's new students The Dazzlings!"
Goku and Vegeta's ears perked up in the back of the auditorium, where did they come from? They didn't sense their energy at all, unless...
"Vegeta, you don't think they can suppress their power like us do you?" asked Gok with an worried expression.
"It's a possibility, but it's no matter so stay focused." replied Vegeta with a stern look at the face as he watched the Dazzling's appear on stage with green smoke and started to sing already affecting the other bands, minus the Rainbooms. It was lucky for them since they were in the far back where nobody was.
"It's going to be a long day." grumbled Goku.
"This is getting out of hand we need to end this now!" shouted Vegeta as he raised his palm.
"No Vegeta stick to the plan! The girls are up next, so this is the time for that spell they have." protested Goku.
"Like I said before Kakarot, if this doesn't work we do this my way!"
Before Goku could answer their attention was turned to the Rainbooms starting to play, they observed the stage watching closely for anything that might interrupt them from doing what ever they were going to do. When Rainbow started to sing the two teenage saiyans were lost at this point. How was singing supposed help at this point and if so why does it sound like everything is pointed towards her. They then noticed all the spotlights shining on her only and not the rest of the girls.
"Kakarot look." said Vegeta as he pointed to what look like magnets hovering down and hooking on to Rarity's outfit, and that's when everything went downhill. One of the spotlight went on Fluttershy which she his away in fear, while Pinkie launched confetti blinding everyone on the stage, Twilight looking nervous as ever, Rarity crying because of her now ripped outfit, Applejack looking trying to get confetti out of instrument, and Rainbow not having a care in the world. Everything was chaos. Until Goku noticed something.
"Vegeta, Rainbow's energy just spiked." said Goku as Vegeta suddenly felt it as well. They watched with wide eyes as they saw Rainbow start to transform by a glowing ear forming on her head. It was however interrupted by Sunset Shimmer tackling her on the stage causing the crowd to boo in protest. The girls quickly got off the stage as both Principal Celestia and Luna began to write down the results. Both Goku and Vegeta were dumbfounded trying to figure out what just happened.
"We should go check up on them." suggested Goku.
"Agreed," added Vegeta as the two started to walk behind stage.
When the two teenageboys got there they were met with the seven girls arguing about their 'special' performance. The two were about to intervene until they felt another energy spike, three to be exact. The two saiyans watched as the Dazzlings sang beside the Principals, who eyes flashed a bright green before returning to their seats and the Dazzlings disappearing down the hall, Sunset seemed to notice this as well. "Somethings not right." said Sunset as she walked up to the two saiyans while the six girls were still arguing.
"I agree, come Sunset I say it is time we confront our competition." commanded Vegeta shocking Sunset and Goku.
"Me? Why not Goku?" asked Sunset wanting answer, so did Goku.
"Because I said so!" snapped Vegeta as Sunset quickly nodded in fear, "Kakarot will stay here with the rest just in case nothing else goes wrong."
Everyones attention was then turned to Principal Celestia tapping the microphone. "May I have all of your attention students, after a long discussion with Vice Principal Luna, we have decided that the final two will be The Dazzlings vs The Rainbooms!" she announced as the group of nine had shocked looks on their faces. "W-we won?" stuttered Fluttershy.
"But we were down right terrible!" added Applejack.
"The Dazzlings must of did something to Principals Celestia and Luna for them to choose us as one of the final two." explained Twilight.
"But why would they do that?" asked Pinkie.
"Isn't it obvious?" started Vegeta, "they know you have magic and are trying t use it against them and from I heard they feed off magic and negative emotions. Which is what all of you were displaying not to long ago. So all they have to do is sing their pathetic little song to take you out and they'll be more powerful at all."
"That was a very smart thing to say Vegeta." said Rarity.
"I maybe rash, but I am not stupid. Unlike some people." said Vegeta looking toward Rainbow Dash on the last part.
"What are you looking at me for!" shouted Rainbow.
"You should know why! Because of you being selfish we missed our chance of dealing with these witches!"
"Because I'm the only one that can do it! Without me, my band will crumble!"
"It is not your band Rainbow Dash! I made the same mistake of thinking to much of myself and it got me getting killed twice! So get your head out of your ass and focus on the task at hand."
"I don't have to listen to you! Who are you my dad?"
The group watched the two argue back and forth for the next few minutes wondering if they should interfere or just let it play itself out. "Fine! If your going to be like that then I'm done with you!" shouted Vegeta.
"FIne! Me too!" shouted back Rainbow as Vegeta grabbed Sunset, who let out a yelp in surprise, and stomped out the auditorium. The ground vibrating a little as he did so.
Vegeta and Sunset walked down the hallways in silence. Vegeta was still fumed from him and Rainbow's fight and Sunset still awkward to say anything about said fight.
"Sooooo," started Sunset only to get a glare from Vegeta,"Yeah, I'll shut up."
"There is no need for that, we need to be ready when we face The Dazzlings." replied Vegeta as Sunset gave him a confused look.
"Why aren't we going to see them at the competition tonight?"
"No, because they'll be blasted all over the wall before the even get there." this made Sunset's blood run cold. She didn't want to kill anyone just to stop them from harming anyone. But killing that's taking it to the extreme.
"Vegeta, do you think that's the only way to make sure they don't do something like this again?"
"I know so, and be ready they're about to come around the corner."
"Wait, how do you-"
Vegeta cocked his eyebrow.
"Right, that whole energy sensing thing."
Right on cue the Dazzlings turned the corner and stopped to see Vegeta with a smug look on his face and Sunset with a nervous look on hers. The Dazzlings flashed back smiles of their owns. THis caused Vegeta smug look to drop and stare at them with an emotionless face.
"What's wrong? Cat's got your tongue?" asked Adagio in a mocking tone.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Sunset, "What have you to gain?"
"We've been here for too long and stuff here starts to get boring." replied Aria.
"Except the tacos! Don't forget our motto taco is love, taco is life!" added Sonata. Adagio and Aria both face palmed.
"I don't care if you're bored or not! You are still being blasted into a million pieces!" screamed Vegeta as he charged his super saiyan aura causing cracks to form beneath him and wind blowing through the hallways. Vegeta lifted his palm and a yellow glowing orb formed at the end, Sunset not wanting the whole hallway get blown up stepped in between Vegeta and the Dazzlings.
"Vegeta stop! You don't have to do this!" yelled Sunset .
"Step aside Sunset! Or you'll go along with them." Sunset flinched at this, would he really do that? She looked in to his eyes and saw pure hatred and fury. One that belonged to a ballistic animal...and full of negative energy....exactly what the Dazzlings wanted. Sunset looked behind her and saw the Dazzlings giving her sinister looks.
"Vegeta you have to calm down!" yelled Sunset.
"Why should I! Everything so far has gone wrong for me! What makes you think I'll be calm!" yelled Vegeta as his Aura grew.
"Please Vegeta! What would Goku think!"
"He would be annoyed, but he'll get over it...it's not the first time."
"Come on! What would Rainbow think!." Vegeta's aura slowly lowered.
"Me and Rainbow...are nothing." simply said Vegeta.
"Eventhough you two might not have feelings for eachother.......anymore.......you still want her to be safe don't you? Like a friend should." After hearing this Vegeta slowly lowered his arm and his auta diminished and stared at Sunset with a blank look. Sunset wanted to smile but the blank look she was getting from him couldn't tell her what he was feeling. Her face instantly went to fear when she heard the singing from the Dazzlings from behind her. She instantly looked at Vegeta's eyes and saw that they were a glowing green and a tattoo-like 'D' on his forehead.
The Dazzlings motioned Vegeta to join them, which he did with out any remorse. Sunset could only look in shock and fear as Vegeta was now under their control. It was all a trap from the minute the Rainbooms made it to the top two, they knew Vegeta will be some what heated, they knew he would come after them, and they knew he had a ton of negative emotions built up inside him.
"You see Sunset Shimmer, you can't stop us even if you wanted to," said Adagio as Vegeta stepped to her side and stood still like a dog awaiting its orders, "and now with 'Vegeta's' power on our side we will be unstoppable!"
"Don't celebrate too quickly! The whole school will know what your planning!"protested Sunset, "Plus we still have Goku!"
"Oh, poor Sunset Shimmer, don't you see we already have the whole school under our control, even the staff, and Goku he won't be a problem, Vegeta be a dear and eliminate Sunset Shimmer for us." Sunset stood frozen waiting for Vegeta's reaction. She immediately went cold when he nodded and stepped in front of Sunset with the Dazzlings laughing. He raised his palm once again and charged his super saiyan aura, but instead of the yellow orb it now turned green and was now crackling with energy.
"H-h-how does t-t-this have t-t-to with G-Goku?" stuttered Sunset as her fear now started to consume her.
"You'll see." was all Adagio said. Sunset was now on the verge of tears, there was no point in running she had seen first hand how fast he his during his race from Rainbow. All she could do was clench her fist and eyes as tears started to roll down her cheeks.
"FINAL SHINE ATTACK!!!!" screamed the possessed super saiyan as time began to slow down. Sunset's life flashed before her eyes, from her being in Equestria and being a student for Celestia, from her arriving her here, from her going back to Equestria to steal Twilight's crown, from being hit by the rainbow beam, and to meeting Goku and Vegeta in the hallways.
Her eyes shot open when she heard Goku teleport in front of her and shielding his body from the blast. As the blast collided with his chest he felt immense pain surge through his body as a green explosion engulfed Goku and since he was only in his normal state and Vegeta in his super saiyan form it hurt like hell. When the dust cleared Sunset's eyes went wide there was literally a hole in the wall behind her and a trail of devastation beyond it. Her eyes then met Vegeta who still had his palm up his body still engulfed in yellow aura with purple and black energy crackling around his body. She then looked in front of her to find her savior, Goku, his shirt has been completely burned off, his pants filled with holes and half of the right sleeve gone. His body was covered in steam and cuts with fresh blood slowly oozing out. He struggled to a standing position and grunted in pain.
"S-S-Sunset," stuttered Goku in pain, "G-g-get bact t-to the o-o-others."
"No! I'm not leaving you!" balled Sunset with more tears coming down her face.
"I-I'll be fine." Goku then put his arms to the sides and turned into his second form of super saiyan his body now engulfed in yellow aura with blue energy crackling around his body. He slowly got in a defensive stance and turned his head back to Sunset and nodded. Sunset wiped her eyes full of tears and nodded back and ran off back in the auditorium. When Goku sensed she was out of danger he turned his sights back to Vegeta and the Dazzlings.
"Looks like the hunk wants to play!" said Sonata.
"Well, Vegeta have fun." giggled Adagio and the three girls walked off leaving the possessed teenage saiyan to deal with Goku.
"Vegeta, it doesn't have to be this way." said Goku with a stern look.
"Oh but it does Kakarot! You let our home get destroyed! You let my family get killed!"
"Vegeta, don't let their magic get to you like Babidi!"
"That's where you're wrong Kakarot, where Babidi treated me like a slave to free his pink menace of a champion, Majin Buu, with the Dazzlings I am their champion!"
"You really have lost it have you? Then you leave me no choice!"
"You will try!"
As fast as Goku can see he was punched in the stomach by Vegeta and was sent flying through the hole and out of the school crashing with a thunderous impact into the parking lot.
"I'm going to enjoy this Kakarot." chuckled Vegeta as he charged his aura and zoomed off toward his long hated rival.
