Fist Of The Dragon The title of the movie appears and we're quickly taken to the busy streets of Satan City. And so our
story begins. A yellow corvette full of bank robbers speeds down the street flipping cars and dodging police officers. The
car floats through the sky and lands on the other side of a hilly street, while the cops follow. The roobers make a sharp
turn crushing a vendor's stand and speed back in the direction they came from. The cops try the manuever, but they wreck their
cars. The one of the three criminals yell in victory, "Ha Ha! Kiss my ass!". The guy turns around and his eyes bug
out at what he sees. Suudenly, we're taken to another view, and we can see them racing straight at a man. He's wearing bright
green clothes, shades, and a white bandana. Through the reflection in the man's sun glasses, we see the criminals go straight
for him anyway, but the man smashes his foot into the front of the car with his arms crossed, and puts his other foot on the
ground, making the car come to a complete stop. One of the guys stands up and pulls out a machine gun, "Why you!!".
He fires off several shots, but the man catches all of them in his hand easily. He drops the bullets on the hood of the car.
Then he smashes his foot into the hood, catapulting the guys out of the car, over his head, and onto the pavement. They land
painfully on their jaws. Another figure appears, this time a woman in light blue clothes, and a pink cape with a helmet. The
guy who fired the machine gun pulls out a knife, "Who the HEL are you!!?". He lunges at her, but she dodges easily,
then punches him in the gut, knocking him out, she dodges the bullet the second guy shoots off, knocks the gun out of his
hand, and elbows him in the gut, knocking him out as well. The big fat criminal pulls out an auto matic shotgun, "You
bitch!". But the mysterious caped man grabs the nozzle of the weapon with one hand, and bends it so it's facing back
at the bad guy. He throws the gun down and pleads, "PLEASE FORGIVE ME!". The caped man smiles as he goes into formation,
"As long as crime exists....". The woman jumps and lands next to him, "...the fire of justice shall always
burn!.". The man pulls her down gracefully as if doing a tango, "I am the Great Saiyaman 1.". The woman pops
up, "And I am the Great Saiyaman 2!". They spin around and do some foolish stuff and then speak simultaneously,
"Here we come again!". The fat guy just looks at the, "Eh?". The Great Saiyaman, (Gohan), stays in formation
and looks into the sky, he thinks to himself, "I'm so cool!". Gohan and Videl's little display wasn't unheard. A
sinister shadow looms around a corner, laughs, then runs away. Videl and Gohan arrive back at high school. Gohan says he was
in the bathroom so long because the line was real long. One of his classmates, Sharpener, looks at him liesurely, "C'mon
Gohan. Everyone knows who you and Videl are!". Gohan doesn't say anything. The teacher starts teaching again and lectures
the class about a writer named Rochivitch who wrote about lovers being seperated. Suddenly, Videl's police communicator watch
beeps. She speaks into it, "Yes? This is the Great Saiyaman.". The voice over the watch says that there's a lunatic
that climbed Randsel Tower and is threatening to jump if his demands aren't heard. Videl responds abruptly, "What? A
stupid thing like that? Take care of it yourself!". She curses to her self, she hates being interrupted. But Gohan heard
everything and stands up to ask to go to the bathroom again. "What? Again?". He laughs, "Uhh, yeah, must have
been last night's dinner, heh heh.". Now we're on top of the tower and an old man is screaming his lungs out. The
strange thing about the guy is that he's about 3 feet tall and has red skin. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!! I'VE LOST ALL MY HOPES
AND DREAMS! I'M GOING TO JUMP AND END IT ALL!!". One of the people in the crowd recognizes him as some guy that was on
TV talking about an oracle or something. Another says, "Oh yeah! That's him!". But then the two Saiyamen speed by
and the crowd cheers for them. The old man continues, "I'M NOT MOVING NO MATTER WHO COMES!". Gohan arrives and starts
talking to him, "Hey old man, listen, it's dangerous to stay op here, let's go down okay?". "Go away! I want
to die!". Videl floats around like a snot, "Let him die.". Gohan's surprised by her. She screams at the guy,
"C'mon! Hurry up and jump!". The old man says, "Okay", and jumps off. Videl looks down in surprise, "Oh
my God! No way!". The people in the street scream. As the old man falls he screams, "Heeeeeeeellllpppp mmmmmeeee!!!!!"
Gohan swoops down and catches him. He asks him, "Are you okay old man?". The old man starts throwing a tantrum,
"You should have saved me earlier! What were you going to do if I died!?". Videl says it like it is, "You're
weird old man.". They land later in a park near a fountain. The old man has struck up a conversation with Gohan. "You
mean you don't know about Tapion the Legend of the Brave?". "Nope.". "You're telling me you don't know
about the legend of the brave warrior who saved the planet Konatsu in the Southern Galaxy a thousand years ago?!". Gohan
smiles and his mouth gapes, his eyes glitter with interest. Videl says they should hurry back to school. Gohan ignores her,
"I want to meet this brave warrior!". The old man smiles evily, "Really?". "Yes! Can I meet him?".
"The old man tries to mask his excitement, "Oh I really wish I could help you, but unfortunately, Tapion was sealed
away in this mysterious Oracle.". The Oracle resembles a very ornate and decorative music box. "He was sealed in
here? Why?" "Oh, you'll know why when he comes back to us.". Videl drags Gohan away, "Come on Gohan, let's
GO!". "Uh, just hold on a second. Old man, explain it to me!". "Well, my senses tell me that the Earth
will be in danger soon!". Gohan gets laughably serious, "The Earth in danger!". Videl shrugs. The old man continues,
"Something capable of destroying entire galaxies is approaching the Earth right now, so we're in great need from the
Brave Warrior Tapion!". Gohan nods with a serious expression. Videl smacks her forehead and looks down. The old guy goes
on, "Because of that, I've spent the last 30 years of my life searching for this Oracle!". Videl interrupts, "So
why don't you just LET HIM OUT?". "I would've done it already if I COULD!" Gohan pipes up, "You can't?".
"No, but can YOU? Just crank the handle.". Gohan takes the Oracle and stares at it briefly. The old man says if
he does, Tapion will be released. Gohan tries to push the crank up and down but nothing works. Then he tries really hard,
but it doesn't even budge. "W..why? Damn this.". Videl takes it, "Let me do it.". She looks it over then
throws it carelessly over her shoulder, "Hmph, just rusty that's all." The old man barely catches it safely. "Come
on Gohan, let's not waste anymore time. Gohan calls to her, but she starts off. The old man calls to Gohan pleadingly, "Shenron
could do it!". Gohan spins around. The old man gets on his knees. "Please bring me to Shenron!". Videl lands
agin, now she's interested. Gohan repeats after the old man, "Shenron?". "Yes, have Shenron bring Tapion back
for us, please!". "Why old man?". "Because I found out that you two have been able to contact Shenron
before. Please do me this favor!". Videl puts everything together, "So the suicide bit was just an act to call on
us?". "The old man smiles, "Well, yeah! Ho Ho Ho". A short time later, the Oracle is being analyzed
at the Capsule Corp. by Buruma. The whole gang is there except for Vegita, Yamucha, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, and Chaozu. Kuririn
doesn't really believe the old man's story, "Old man, is this story for real?". Buruma comments, "You don't
think so too?". The old guy defends himself, "Hey babe, trust me. We barely have any time left. The Earth will be
destroyed unless we bring Tapion. The Orcale is in a glass dome being analyzed by lasers. Goten and Trunks stare at it in
fascination. After the analysis Buruma is perplexed, "It can't. I can't scan the contents of it. I think it's made out
of something magical.". The dome of glass over the Oracle parts and Gokou picks it up. He grunts and tries to turn the
handle, but even he can't budge it. "No good, I can't move it.". Kuririn shows some interest, "Gee, if even
Gokou can't open it, maybe there is some truth to the story.". Gokou puts the Oracle down on the analysis table and Goten
and Trunks fiddle around with it. Gokou asks the old man if the guy inside the box is really strong. "Of course he is.
He's the Legend of the Brave.". Gokou's face lights up, "Really! Okay! Let's go out and find the Dragon Balls right
now!". Everyone agrees, and the old man smiles showing a hint of treachery. And so the task which once took
Gokou months to do takes place in a single afternoon, which is of course, finding all seven Dragon Balls. Everyone splits
up and heads to different parts of the World. Gokou's carrying the old man with him. He starts thinking outloud by mistake,
"Hmmm, I think I'm going to like thsi planet Earth.". Gokou looks down at him, "Huh? You mean you're not an
earthling??". The old man falters, "OH..NO, I uh mean, uh I must've made a mistake.". And so the search continues
Goten and Trunks are in an snow covered field, "Allright! C'mon Goten, let's hurry up and find it!". "Yeah!
I'd love to meet this Brave Warrior!". Gohan and Videl are flying through a mountainous region. Videl's practically swooning
of this mysterious warrior, "If this story about the warrior is true, I wonder what he'll look like! I'm really interested
in meeting him!". Gohan just looks confused. Meanwhile, Kuririn's off by himself. No one teamed up with him. He's in
a dark place filled with bushes. He pops his head out of the shrubbery and sighs, "I'm alone again.". Suddenly,
a swamp creature-esque head pops out of the bushes next to him and makes some noise. He turns to look, but the creature is
gone. Then a mummy head pops out off the bushes on the other side of him. He turns to look, but he's late again. Then a ghost
floats by and a bunch of steriotypical monster heads pop out of the bushes all at once and stick their tongue out at him.
The scene switches outside as he screams from fright, and shows that he's inside a Haunted House at an amusement park. Meanwhile,
Videl retrieves one of the Dragon Balls from the mountain region. Goten and Trunks are goofing off having a snowball fight
since they already found their Dragon Ball, it was in the hand of a snow man. Back to Kuririn, he found his Dragon Ball at
the top of an amusement ride. Finally, Gokou and the old man are at a zoo. Inside a cage with no canopy, a giant lion in pawing
the Three Star Ball. Gokou stares intently, "I found it!". The old man scowls, "Yeah, but how're you gonna
get it?". "I'll show you how!". Gokou smiles and vaults himself off the fencing around the cage and jumps right
inside. The lions are startled and advance on him while people scream outside. They all pounce on Gokou at once, and the old
man looks away in horror. But suddenly, a lion goes flying through the air and lands at the other side of the cage. The others
quickly follow trampling him in a rush to get away. The old man opens his eyes and sees the Dragon Ball in Gokou's hand. He
stares in amazement, then looks up and his jaw flies open. There's a lion with it's mouth on the top of Gokou's head, but
Gokou is smiling as if nothing is wrong, "Now we should have evrything! Lets go!". And that does it for the gathering
of the Dragon Balls. It's assumed that either Buruma had the others, or it just doesn't show them getting the rest. Everyone's
back together, and the Dragon Balls lay glowing like little suns on the lawn of the Capsule Corp. Gokou yells with a smile
on his face, "Come forth Shenron!". The balls glow for an instant, and a bolt of light shoots into the sky. The
lights suddenly takes the form of a reptilian body, and Shenron face screams up into the sky. The old guy looks up in bewilderment,
"W..WONDERFUL! Is he...Shenron?". Shenron's head dips down, and he speaks his little speach, "I will grant
you any wish that you ask! Declare your wish!". The old guy steps forward, "I wish for you to open this Oracle and
release Tapion the Legend of the Brave from it!". "That will be a piece of cake!". A bolt of blue light shoots
the Oracle out of the old man's hands and it falls to the ground, surging with energy for a second. "I have granted your
wish! Farewell!". He dissapears in a flash of light and the Dragon Balls appear in the sky, they rotate around each other
for a second, then shoot off into the sky. The sky becomes blue again, and everyone gathers around the Oracle. Buruma gets
ticked, "W..Wa..Wait a minute! Nothing's happening!". But before she even finishes speaking, the crank beings to
slowly turn. And everyone becomes silent. A beautiful song starts to eminate from the box. Gokou gets exciting, "It's
working!". In fact, the entire Western Capital is silent and the song can be heard throughout the streets. Buruma's anger
softens, "What a beautiful melody.". Videl looks thoughtful, "But it's somehow melancholy.". Goten and
Trunks can't control their excitement, "Here he comes! Here he comes!.". Suddenly the lid opens an inch and a mysterious
smoke swirls around the Oracle. Goten and Trunks go nuts, "HERE HE COMES!". The lid continues to open as the smoke
swirls around everyone at an incredible rate. The smoke begins to gather above the Oracle and starts to form a figure. The
figure grows, and floats into the sky, meanwhile the music continues to play getting louder. Finally, the smoke shapes into
a figure with a flowing cape. Gohan is stunned, "Father!". "Yeah I know, it's an incredible ki!". Everyone
is so amazed, they don't even notice the old man sneak off behind them. He smiles wickedly and his eyes glow red. The music
from the Oracle stops, and a thick blue energy surounds the old man. It starts to grow larger, and lurch toward the mysterious
figure shrouded in smoke. The evil energy has almost reached the figure, when the music from a flute being played by the figure
shatters the energy. It's the same melody the Oracle played, but it has a more commanding and brave sound to it. To remain
un-noticed, the old man sucks the energy back inside him. The smoke is now circling around the figure at a furious rate. The
Orcale opens completely, then shatters instantly. A huge ball a light shoots out from the center of the smoke and the figure
appears. He's playing the song of the Oracle proudly on his flute, with his eyes closed and floats down to the ground in scene
that seems almost holy. He resembles a human, but he has elf-like ears. His deep orange colored hair resembles Kaiou Shin's.
He's decorated in gear similar to that of Crono from Chrono Trigger. And strapped to his back is a sheath, with a big, long
sword. Gokou stares, "Wow, what the old guy said really was true. Amazing.". He finishes the song and lowers the
flute from his lips. Trunks rushes forward, "Cool!". Buruma says he's good looking. The old man steps forward laughing
in Tapion's face. Tapion unsheathes his sword and puts it to the old man's throat. "Don't come any closer!". Trunks
is impressed, "AWESOME!". Tapion shouts at the man, "You brought me back!?". The old man nods his head
and smiles, "You've done a good job remaining in there for the past 1,000 years!". "How dare you! Put me back
in now!!". "Too late, the Orcale's seal is broken as well!". Tapion grimaces. The old man looks down at the
flute with greedy eyes. Gokou steps in with a dumb look on his face, "Hey hey, chill out guys. You finally got out of..".
Tapion turns his back to him, "Please. Don't come any closer to me. You all have made a grave mistake!". Gokou looks
around confused, "Mistake?". Tapion walks off without a word. Trunks declares with a tinge of excitement in his
voice, "He'll be my hero from now on!". Buruma repremands him, "No way! He didn't even know how to thank us
for letting him out!". "No way mom!". He runs after Tapion and Goten follows. Buruma tries to call to him,
but it's useless. Gohan looks at Videl, "So what do you think?". "I don't know, but something's wrong.".
Gohan nods. Gokou scratches the back of his head, "Hmmmm, I don't get it.". (Of course you wouldn't Gokou).
It's now sun down, and Tapion has settled himself in an old broken down factory, teaming with all sorts of decay and rats.
Trunks and Goten have followed the mysterious man to the site without him knowing. They're both one level above him. Trunks
prepares to open a grate to get a good look at him and Goten objects, "Trunks, we really shouldn't be doing this!".
"And why not!? He's a brave warrior! I want to hear all of his heroic stories!". Trunks flips the grate up without
giving Goten a chance to respond. Before Trunks sticks his head in, Goten objects again, "But your mom said..".
"Never mind her.". Trunks looks down into the factory and looks in amazement at Tapion. The warrior is grasping
his head, gripped by pain. He looks directly at Trunks with anger in his eyes and Trunks falls back in surprise. Goten asks
him what's wrong, "Oh, nothing, he just surprised me. This is so exciting!". Later that night at the Capsule Corp.
Buruma is hosting a Kabbob-aque with plenty of delecacies rosting on the grill. Gokou happily stuffs his face and couldn't
possibly be more content with himself, but he looks around for a second, "Hey? Where's the little old guy?". Gohan
notices his dissappearance as well, "Yeah. Where is he?". Muten Roshi offers a typical answer, "Maybe he's
out cruisin for some hot young chicks!!". He points at Videl and Gohan steps in front of her protectively. Gokou laughs
with his mouth full. Buruma gets involved, (never a good thing), "Hey, don't go judging him on your own perverted standards.".
Roshi heads in her direction, (he's obviously completely drunk), "Yeah, you're right. If he's not looking for young ones,
maybe it's the older developed ones he's after!". He saunters right up to Buruma and points to her breasts. Buruma shut
her eyes and tries to keep her patience, but then Roshi erupts with giddiness at his own joke. BAMM!!!!!!! Buruma smacks him
like he's never been smacked before and he lands halfway across the deck. Meanwhile, a hand appears from beneath a grill and
burns itself trying to grab a Kabbob. A little, "Ouch!", eminates from under the grill. Gokou looks over and sees
two litle hands trying to sneak away some Kabbobs. He laughs and throws one right next to the hand. It grasps it, "Yay!
I got it!". The camera pulls back and we see the culprits. Goten and Trunks. They put the Kabbobs on a plate and run
off to the factory. This time they don't bother sneaking around, they run right into the room Tapion is in. Tapion is still
sweating and shivering in pain. He hears a sound behind him and whips out his sword in a second but to his surprise it's just
the two little kids from before. Goten and Trunks' jaws drop at the site of him, "Uh uh sir, we're uh, just here to uh
leave some food for you!". Trunks places it on top of a metal barrel. Tapion sighs with relief and puts his sword back
in its sheath. Trunks nervously tries to make conversation, "Uh you see, heh heh, my mom is a really good cook.".
No response. Trunks's eyebrows fall like a beaten puppy, "Uh, okay. Bye then. We'll be back tommorow.". The
next day, the bridge leading into Western City is completely blocked up bumper to bumper. People are hurling insults at each
other, "Hey come on! What the hell is the hold up!?". They don't want to know the answer. Out of nowhere, a building
explodes in the city. The entire bridge falls silent. In the city itself, people are standing on the side of the road when
an enourmous foot crashes down next to them. The Earth trembles, and store windows shatter. From one of the top floors of
an office buidling, a helicopter can be seen zooming around the buildings. A shot from the ground shows a view of the helicopter
shooting at something, but it retreats when the foot appears again. But it's kicking a huge tank around the streets as if
it were nothing. Gohan and Videl dressed up as their alter egos fly over the city and look at the utter chaos below, "What
is this mess!?". He and Videl fly to the source of the mayhem. A helicopter spots them and radios in, "Here comes
the Great Saiyaman! The Great Saiyaman is here!". The commander of the army responds, "Allright, we'll leave this
up to him!". All the troops leave the streets and the citizens appear to be evacuated. Gohan and Videl land, only to
have the giant foot come crashing down in front of them. When they look up, nothing could have prepared them for what they
saw. "What the hell!?". Gohan gapes at the giant menace. Suddenly, two blocks away, a huge object smashes through
a row of buildings as if they were butter and heads straight for them. Videl screams but Gohan pulls her to safety before
getting clobbered. Finally another foot sets down next to the other and we get a clear shot of the beast. But it's nothing
you could imagine. It's the gigantic legs and and tail of a monster, but there's no body. Just a legs, and a looooooong tail,
(it's the object that almost killed the two seconds ago). Gohan and Videl hover above it, but it puts itself in a stance that
would make it seem it can see them even without eyes. Gohan thinks for a second, "Maybe this is what the old man meant
when he said the Earth was in grave danger!". Videl lets go of Gohan's hand and clenches her fist. "Let's excecute
our formation Gohan!". Gohan is stunned, "What! You want to do it now!?". "Why not!?". Gohan doesn't
bother to argue. They land in front of the giant legs and go through their "Power Ranger-esque" movements and dialogue
simultaneously, "The Great Saiyaman shall never let crime escape!". "I am the Great Saiyaman!", "And
I am the Great Saiyaman 2!". "Here we go!!". BOOM! The giant tail smashes the pavement where they stood just
seconds ago. Gohan's knocked to one side by the force of the hit and his glasses are knocked off. On the other side, Videl
takes off her helmet, "Hey! He didn't let us finish the rest of our lines!". Gohan gets to his feet and barely dodges
another crushing blow from the tail. Now he's angry. "Damn! How dare you destroy this town! Unforgiveable!". He
brings his arms to his side and charges his ki, blowing out the pavement beneath his feet. "Here I come!". Gohan
makes a B-line for the hips of the creature, and barely dodges a kick. He kicks the hips, and puts a large dent in it. The
beast stumbles around a bit but he's far from beaten. Gohan flies high into the air, "My gosh, this guy is tough!".
The creature makes an about-face and faces Gohan. Gohan readies his fist and flies staright at it, but he goes staright through
it. "Huh!?". The craeture's tail appears next to him and smashes through pavement and buildings in pursuit of Gohan.
Gohan performs some ballet-like movements through the air and escapes the assault. He flies around to the back of the creature
and hurls a standard ki blast at it and the creature falls over into a building. On the streets below Videl dodges rubble,
"Go Gohan!". Meanwhile Gohan puts together what he's seen from his fight and figures out the creature's weakness,
"I see. When he attacks, he becomes vulnerable to an attack!". The beast starightens itself out and Gohan zips back
into the sky out of reach. The tail swings by him and he dodges, but then heads straight between it's legs. One foot stomps
down and misses. Then it turns around and sees Gohan on the other side. It brings it's foot straight down on Gohan, but Gohan
dodges at the very last second and delivers a crushing blow to the thigh. The creature loses balance and Gohan zooms back
down to the legs and kicks the monster's feet out from underneath it. It falls completely over and lies helpless in the streets.
The monster shoves its tail in the ground to try and push itself up, but Gohan is too quick. He charges for an instant and
sends out a huge energy blast "a la" Final Flash. The monster literally flies back a few blocks blocks, but Gohan
doesn't stop there. Gohan charges up again and grabs his wrists. From high above the city he lets an huge amount of blasts
rain down on the creature. He sends blast after blast till the explosion grows to Hiroshima proportions. Finally he stops
and lands next to Videl. "Gohan you won!". "No...not yet.". But then, the sound of an flute echoes through
the streets and the song that Tapion played is heard once again. Videl looks over at Gohan, "This melody...". Gohan
doesn't respond. The melody continues to play as the smoke from the blasts clear, but when the smoke finally diffuses, the
monster is completely gone. A single figure is standing where the creature was and it slowly walks away. Gohan squints to
get a good look, and the song ends as quickly as it began. The one playing it was indeed Tapion. He looks over his shoulder
at Gohan for a second, but then turns and continues on his way. Gohan is stunned, "T..Tapion?". He starts to run
after him, but Videl stops him, "Gohan! Look up there!". Gohan looks up to the top of a row of buildings and a small
figure is silhouted against the full moon. The figure turns and glares down at the two. The figure is completely hooded, but
Gohan knows it's the old man. The two super heroes stand alone in the now silent and still city night. Later that night at
the dump, the Kabbob lies untouched where Trunks left it. Tapion holds his flute and stares down at in with pensive eyes.
Suddenly a noise startles him, he turns around, but it's only Trunks again. His hands are loaded with soda cans and he's dropping
them all over the place. He speaks before Tapion can say anything, "Hey! Don't get mad. I'll leave soon.... Hey, you
didn't eat anything." Tapion whips around and screams at him, "GET OUT!". Trunks's jaw drops in shock and he
zips around and runs out of the place, his arms flailing, "Yes sir!". Much much much later that same night, Tapion
is fast asleep with the flute in his hands. But then, his hand drifts away from the flute and it falls to the ground. The
entire room is completely silent for a moment, then an eerie smoke starts to crawl out of Tapion's body. It twists and turns
and gathers in the air above him, and forms a small blue portal. Suddenly the portal grows and wind kicks up. In moments the
room is filled with wind and crashing energy coming from the portal. Tapion opens one eye in annoyance, but then sees the
portal and sits staright up, "OH SHIT!". He grabs for his flute but it's not there. He gasps. Suddenly a gigantic
arm shoots out of the portal headed straight for him. Tapion jumps to the side, and the arm crashes the pile of rubble where
he stood not even a second ago. Another hand appears and grasps the side of the portal and tears it open further. The humoungous
body of a monster crawls out of the portal. The creature has what looks like a skull, but its head is filled with veins, and
its mouth is filled with fangs. Tapion grits his teeth. His eyes look away for a second and he spots his flute. He looks back
at the beast for second to see is he's clear and jumps to the side as the monster puts its hand through the wall of the factory
like it were cardboard. Tapion lands and grabs his flute. He pushes himself away from the spot and his back smacks against
one of the remaining walls. The creature looks over at him and growls, it has him cornered. Tapion wastes no time and puts
his lips to the flute and plays his song. The beast roars in anger and brings his face only feet away from Tapion, but the
warrior continues to play, in fact, he gets up and takes a step towards it. The monster's hands tremble and it puts his hands
almost completely arouns Tapion, but he continues to play his song fearlessly. Finally the creature is pulled back by some
force, and Tapion walks straight up to it. Suddenly Tapion starts to glow and particles start to transfer from the monster
into Tapion. Finally the creature disentigrates and flows completely into Tapion and dissapears in a flash of light. Finally
Tapion looks up from his flute and puts his hands on his knees as he tries to calm himself down from the danger he faced and
fearlessly sealed away. Part Two The next morning, Trunks shows up to bring Tapion more food and sees the wreck
the monster created, "W..WHAT HAPPENED?". But he sees Tapion sitting on a pile of rubble and relief covers his face,
"Oh, you're okay!". Tapion looks at him and grimaces. Trunks chuckles. "Heh, I yeah I know. I'll just put your
breakfast here. Okay, there you go. I'll bring some more later! See ya!". After dinner that evening at the Capsule
Corp., Videl and Buruma are gossiping while doing the dishes. Buruma reveals that she knows Trunks is secretly bringing Tapion
food. "Oh, that's sweet of him.", responds Videl. "Yeah, he always said Goten was lucky for having a brother.
So I think he's sees Tapion as a big brother.". "Yeah, I grew up without any brothers or sisters, I understand how
Trunks feels.". "Well, the world is filled with lots of dangerous people. Trunks should be careful.". Videl
laughs, "Yeah! And Trunks is one of the most powerful ones of all!". At the same time, Tapion is standing outside
of his "home" and playing his flute. It can be heard throughout the town. He's startled by a sound and turns around
to see Trunks chasing some street cats away from the food he left for him. "Damn it! Don't eat that! That's for my brother!".
The cat isn't scared of Trunks in the least and struts away at it's leisure. He leaves a plate of dinner for Tapion and says
he'll be on his way. But above the factory, the old man is perched waiting for a moment to strike his target below. Trunks
saunters over to Tapion, "Hey..uh, that flute sounds very nice, could you play some?". Tapion just looks at him,
and Trunks chuckles, "Heh, never mind.". Tapion turns around and walks over to Trunks, with his back turned to the
outside. The old man makes his move. He jumps down from his vista and lands silently behind Tapion. But Trunks sees him and
gasps. Tapion doesn't have time to react. The old man runs towards Tapion and knocks the flute out of his hand. It lands next
to Trunks. Trunks picks it up and looks at the old man curiously. The geezer rushes Trunks, "Kid! Give me that flute!".
The old man is remarkably agile for his age, but can't come close to even touching Trunks. In their scuffle, the hit a light
fixture. It falls to the ground and ignites a small fire in front of the old man. Trunks jumps on top of a pile of rubble,
and Tapion runs up next to him on the ground, "Trunks, give me the flute!". Trunks is about to thow it to him when
the old man interrupts, "STOP! Don't give it to him kid. Tapion is not the legendary brave warrior! He's the monster
that destroyed half of the city!". Trunks is shocked he looks at Tapion for some kind of explanation. Tapion's features
are completely expressionless. He just says, "Trunks. Don't listen to him. Give me the flute.". The old man continues,
"Not only the Earth, but the entire galaxy will be destroyed if you give him that flute!". So hand it over to me!".
Tapion remains stolid, "Trunks, believe me!". Trunks looks at Tapion in shock. The old man puts his hand out and
beckons Trunks. With the fire illuminating his twisted features he resembles some kind of demon. Trunks stares at the flute,
then at Tapion, and finally at the old man. Trunks lowers his arm, and turns away from Tapion. The warrior remains expressionless,
and the old man utters a deep chuckle, "C'mon, give it to me now.". Trunks raises his arm to throw the flute to
the old man. Tapion remains expressionless and the old man gives a wide grin. Trunks pulls back his arm and throws the flute....to
Tapion! "Brother, catch!". Tapion raises a single arm and catches the flute skillfully. The old man looks over at
them in shock," W.. W.. WHA!". He hisses with anger and before Trunks can get to him, he jumps to the top and the
factory, and vanishes into the night. Trunks runs over to Tapion with a big smile on his face. Tapion just looks down at him
silently. Trunks gives a "whipped puppy dog" expression, "I know....I'll go home." But as he walks out
of the factory he hears a voice behind him, "I'm hungry.". Trunks turns around in shock and looks at Tapion. He
speaks again, "May I please go with you?". Trunks' face lights up, "Yeah!". Later that night,
back at the Capsule Corp., Buruma and Videl are yacking again. "Trunks finally managed to bring him home.". Videl
looks dreamy, "Yeah, it must be nice for him to be friends with a brave warrior.". "Yes, he's walking on air!".
In Trunks' play room Tapion is sitting alongside Trunks while he excitedly shows off his enormous toy collection.
"Hey hey! Look at this! Isn't this great! That one over there is fantastic! I got this one for my last birthday, isn't
it cool. And if you do this and that, it turns into this! See it does this and this...". Trunks continues to banter on,
but one toy catches Tapion's attention. It's a walking robot. He watches it slowly edge its way away from him when it hits
an obstacle and falls. The toy collapses into two pieces, (It didn't break it was designed to be in two sections), and the
torso wiggles back and forth, while the legs of the robot kick into the air. Tapion stares at the toy, as if he were compelled
by it. Later that evening. Tapion tucks Trunks into bed. Trunks asks him a few questions about himself, after Tapion flicks
out the light. "Hey, do you have any brothers or sisters?". Tapion smiles, "Yes, I do. I have a younger brother.".
Trunks' attention has been captured. He sits up in his bed, "Really? What's he like?". "Well, he's a very nice
child like you.". Trunks puts his head back on his pillow, "Hey, could you tell me about your planet?". Tapion
looks truly happy for the first time, "Yeah sure.". He stares off into space, as if he were there. "My planet
is called Konatsu. It's in the southern galaxy. It's a beautiful planet. Just like this one, and very green. But...then one
day, we were attacked by a monster.". He looks down. "By a menace, named Hildegarn. Almost all of the people there
were killed. The planet was being destroyed.". Flames emerge on the screen, and we're taken back to the day the monster
attacked Tapion's village. People are running and screaming. Tapion can be seen in the rushing crowd. He staring at a monstrosity
in the distance, Hildegarn. It pulls its head back and lets out a terrifying roar. But Tapion stands tall, and faces the monster
in the distance. "Just when everyone thought they were going to die, a miracle occurred.". Tapion snaps out of his
flashback so quickly he has to catch his breath and reasure himself of his whereabouts. But then he smiles and looks over
at Trunks who is fast asleep. But while looking at Trunks, one of Tapion's heart-strings is pulled and he bites his lip. He
has another brief flashback to the planet, and the little warrior seen in the beggining of the movie turns around in the crowd
and smiles at Tapion. His features are very similar to Trunks'. It's his little brother, Minoshia. "Minoshia, all of
these events must mean that you've been killed.". Tapion snaps out of it and gives Trunks a silent farewell. He exits
the room, and Buruma, (out for a mid-night snack or something), notices him outside of Trunks' room. He walks in the opposite
direction. Buruma speaks up in a calm voice, "Where are you going?". He looks back at her, but doesn't reply. "You
know you can stay here as long as you want. Trunks is so happy you've made this place your home.". "I can't stay
here.". "Why?". Tapion flinches as he reveals his secret, "I can't stay because a monster is sealed within
my body.". Buruma looks startled for a second but the smiles softly, "A monster? What do you mean?". Buruma
makes up some tea and the two have a seat on a couch and Trunks tells his whole story at Buruma's request. "So tell me,
what do you mean a monster is sealed inside you?". "Well, it started with a group known of Black Magicians from
a far off galaxy. The flames appear again and we're back in flashback mode. Dark figures identical to the old man chant dark
hymns at the foot of an enormous stone monster. "They worked together and cast a spell of negative energy on one of Konatsu's
statues.". At the foot of the statue lay two flutes, identical to the one Tapion has, and also a masterfully crafted
sword. "Thus they gave birth to the monster Hildegarn.". Fire shoots out of torches around the statue and the eyes
flash. The stone cracks off and the monster Hildegarn appears from underneath it with a fury. Now back to reality. Buruma
sips her tea, "So these magicians had tremendous power, I guess?". "Yes, and the old man who was with you,
Hoi, he's one of them.". "So we were conned by that old man. How come the monster was sealed inside of you?".
"We were able to control the monster by using the legendary powers of the Holy Sword and flutes.". Buruma looks
over at Tapion's sheath, "You mean that?". "Yes.". Tapion pulls it out, "This is one of the gifts
we received from the gods.". The sword glints brightly in the dark room, and transports us back into flashback mode.
"By using the gods' gifts against the monster, my brother and I would play the Holy Flutes and freeze the monster in
its tracks.". Tapion and Minoshi stand tall into two arches and play the now familliar melody of the Holy Flute. As they
play it, Hildegarn writhes in pain while he's held in place by a Godly force. His arms are still moveable though and he tries
to crush Tapion, but he glides away effortlessly and doesn't miss a single note. "Then with the monster in its immobilized
state, one of our priests was able to use the Holy Sword and slice him in half.". Half a mile away, a bright light shoots
into the air, and a robed Konashian holds the sword up to his eyes. In an instand he rushes Hildegarn and leaps into the air,
heading straight for his hips. The scene switches to a far away view, and the priest effortlessly puts his sword completely
through Hildegarn's body. No apparent damage seems to be done, but then a light shoots out from the cut and the beast's upper
body falls forward, while the lower body falls backward. But the two brothers continue to play the song. Hildegarn's upper
body thrashes violently about trying to escape its fate, but it's unsucessful. It turns into mist and diffuses into Tapion
and Minoshia's bodies. "And so one half of the monster was sealed in me, and the other half in my brother. At last peace
was restored to my planet. My brother and I were fated to become the Legend of the Brave.". Buruma asks another question,
"I see. How come you were sealed in the Oracle?". "The Black Magicians' goal was to resurret the monster, so
certain precautions had to be made. My brother and I were sealed in two Oracles so the monster would could not be used by
anyone. But if the two of us were close together, the monsters' halves would join again. So we were seperated and sent away
in different space modules in opposite directions so that the two halves would be as far away as possible. It would now appear
that Hoi has recovered the Oracle my brother was in as well as mine. He must be planning to use Hildegarn to rule the universe."
"So where is your brother?". "I can only assume he's dead." Buruma gets pissed, "Damnnit! Hoi will
pay for this!". "If I could only be sealed up again, then Hildegarn would never be able to get his entire body back.".
Buruma sits up staright excitedly, "So you haven't gotten any sleep since you've been awakened?". "Yeah.".
"Allright! I'll take care of everything!". "What?". "I'll make an Oracle like the one you were originally
in so that it can contain the monster, okay?". "Can you really do that!?". "Well yeah, I think I can.
I still have the broken parts of the original Oracle." "Please! Please do so!". "Yup, until then, rest
up a bit, okay?". Tapion's face is completely relaxed for the first time in a long time, "I will.". Early the
next morning, Tapion is out in the yard playing with Trunks and a puppy. Buruma walks out onto the porch, still in her bed
clothes, an yawns. She obviously pulled an all nighter. She calls down to them, "It's ready! I call it Tapion's Bedroom!".
Tapion's face lights up, "Really!?". Inside her lab, Buruma explains her device, it's about the size of
a small shed. "Being inside this will help to maintain the control that the Oracle had over Hildegarn. Tapion walks inside
and looks around, pleases with what he sees. Burma continues, "You can sleep in here and everything should be okay.".
Tapion whips around and faces her, "Thank you very very much!". But things aren't going so well in another part
of town. Clothes are littered on the once busy streets. Hoi's weird chanting can be heard throughout the town. People are
running left and right, but Hildegarn's tail appears in front of them. It pops open and reveals tendrils that literally suck
up people's body, much like Cell did. The tail captures a group of screaming people, the closes up and shoots triumphantly
into the air. Hoi stands victorious on the tail of the lower half of Hildegarn. "When Hildegarn becomes one again, it
will signal the beggining of the end!" The camera zooms up to his face, "I shall rule the Earth and the entire universe!".
At that moment a stange force zips through the clouds, and emerges above the Capsule Corp. The force shoots down into the
building and zips around hallways and stairs. Finally it reaches Buruma's lab and slides freely into Tapion's bedroom. Tapion
awakens and sees the unseeable force and screams. Buruma's device was too weak, it couldn't keep the monster away. Tapion's
features distort in fear and agony as the monster escapes his body. Buruma is fast asleep from her night of work, but awaken
when a huge crash is heard from the lab. She opens her window and looks down at the lab only to see straight into it. A huge
hole has been smashed through the wall. In a few minutes, detective Gokou and family are at the scene. Gokou bends
down and picks up a tiny piece of rubble and inspects it. He uses all of his deductive powers and comes out with one of the
stupidest things ever said, "Hmm I see. This place was smashed to bits." DUH! Gokou continues to ponder the complexities
of a piece of rubble when Tapion staggers into the now ventilated lab. Gohan and Trunks support him. Gohan asks what's happening
with Hildegarn. "I've sealed away his upper body, but the lower half is still ramapging through town.". Everyone's
shocked. Tapion gasps for breath, "And now their power is growing, I can't hold on to it...". The force hits Tapion
again. He falls to his knees. Buruma rushes over to him. "I'll build another Oracle! It will be better!". "Not,
it's too late. It's better to kill me now while Hildegarn is trapped inside of me!" Everyone gasps. A starnge glow begins
to circulate over Tapion. He pleads, "Do it now!". But then a portal open above them and Hoi's voice can be heard,
"I won't let you!". Hildegarn's foot slams down, destroying half the house. Tapion reaches for his flute, but it's
shot out of his hand by a blast from Hoi. Hoi bids Hildegarn to crush it, but Trunks grabs it at the last second. Unfortunately
he's too slow, and a section of ceiling falls on him. Tapion screams, "TRUNKS!". Not to fear folks, this is the
son of Vegita we're talkin about here. An instant later, Trunks shoots out of the pile of rubble undazed and throws the flute
to Tapion. "Brother, play it!". Tapion grabs it triumphantly, "Allright!". He brings the flute to his
lips, but he's too late. The weird force hits him again, and the irridecent light flows over him again. He tries to play,
but he can't summon his strength. He screams horribly and Trunks looks on in horror. He drops the flute to the ground and
screams as the evil monster escapes his body. Finally it dissapears and Tapion falls to ground exhausted from the pain. High
in the sky, the smoke gather, and a portal forms. Lightning and power shoot thrhough the sky and Hoi's face is nothing but
a huge grin. All hell breaks looses as lightning covers every square inch of the town. On the ground, power shoots from the
lower half of Hildegarn up to the portal. A huge ball of light forms, and the monstrous face appears once again. Tapion regains
his strength and looks up in terror. Standing several stories tall is the full and complete Hildegarn, ready to bring Earth
to its knees. It pulls back its head and roars. Gohan stammers, "The body it's...", Gokou finishes his sentence,
"...joined together!". Hildegarn stretches his body and bares its teeth. Hoi floats above the city streets, "It's
been over a 1,000 years in captivity and now Hildegarn is back! Now devour everyone's energy until they die!". Hildegarn's
eyes fill with fury and he puts his fist through the roof of the Capsule Corp. effortlessly sending Gokou and the rest flying
out onto the lawn. Tapion grabs his flute and runs out to the lawn as well. Gokou, Goten, Gohan and Trunks stare at the monster.
It turns around and glares at them with red eyes. Ladies and gentlemen, the fun is about to begin! Tapion jumps on
top of one of the many small domed building on the Capsule Corp.'s lawn, and plays his song in the Holy Flute. But Hildegarn
isn't affected at all. He just gets angry and lumbers towards the group. Tapion continues to play, but it has absolutely no
affect. Hildegarn whips his tail at them and sends them flying in different directions. The monster is too quick for Tapion,
and is about to crush him with his tail when Trunks whisks him away to safety. Hoi watches the scene from high in the sky
and laughs, "HAHAHA! That stupid toy won't work anymore!". Tapion gasps, "It can't be!". Hoi continues,
"Now witness the full power of Hildegarn!". Gokou and Goten land next to each other in a street. Gokou screams,
"I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!". He and Goten rush the monster. Even though the monster is huge, it's still amazingly
fast, and Gokou barely dodges two swings from its fists. He moves in for the kill when the monster turns into smoke and vanishes.
Gokou only succeeds in kicking air. Gokou looks around for a second, but he's too slow. The monster reappears above him and
his son and slams it's fist down on Gokou, sending him smashing into the ground. Meanwhile, Trunks places Tapion on a building
in the center of town, "It's time for us to take over now. Brother, stay here where it's safe!". Tapion calls out
to him, Trunks just turns around and gives him a thumbs up, then flies off into battle. Gokou and family regroup and position
themselves in a triangle. Gokou is obviously excited by the battle. Even though he's a little mad, he has a smirk on his face.
He clenches his fists and makes an oath, "I won't let you do this!". He screams and turns Super Saiya-jin 2. Goten
and Gohan follow suit and charge up as well. All three Son's rush the monster head on. Hildegarn swings once and misses. Gohan
tries to kick it in the shoulder, but Hildegarn vaporizes again. Gohan realizes that the more they fight the monster, the
faster it gets. The monster reappears on the ground a short distance away. Gokou gathers energy for a second and fires a Kame
Hame Ha at it, but the blast only succeeds in going through the weird smoke and destroying a mountain in the distance. The
beast silenty reappears behind Gokou. Gohan is the first to spot it, "Dad! Look out!". Gokou spins around, but he's
too slow. Hildegarn slaps him, sending him falling through the roof of the Capsule Corp. and into the lab. Meanwhile Gohan
tries his best, but continues to hit the vapor trail of the monster. "I can't lay a finger on him!". He loses his
concentration for a second, and allows the beast to appear in front of him. He turns halfway around, but the monster already
has him in a crushing grip in its hand. Gohan screams in agony, but a yellow blast comes from out of nowhere and connects
with the monster's wrist. It drops Gohan, and turns to see who hurt it. Standing on what remains of the Capsule Corp. is DBZ's
number one bad-boy, the Prince of the Saiya-jin, Vegita. And boy is he peeved. "You FUCKING bastard! You DARE to destroy
MY house!? Now you've REALLY pissed me off! FUCK YOU!". He screams and turns Super Saiya-jin 2. His ki rips off what
remains of the roof. He rushes the monster and manages to dodge a punch an a kick. He does some aerial acrobatics, and dodges
the tail with ease. He's just about to land a punch to the monster face when it dissapears to his surprise. Vegita looks up,
and puts his hands out at the last second, just barely saving himself by pushing back a crushing blow. But Hildegarn appears
behind him, and smashes him in the back. Vegita stops himself from flying helplessly through the air, and flies high into
the sky. He gathers energy between his fists and fires a powerful ki blast at Hildegarn's head. It connects! Vegita smirks,
but loses sight of the monster in the explosion. Sigh. Being cocky always was Vegita's weak point. The monster appears behind
Vegita. Vegita turns around in shock then, BAM, it whips him away with its tail. Vegita smashes into an office building filled
with civillians. Hildegarn doesn't stop there. He rears back his head and shoots fire at the building. Vegita staggers to
his feet and sees the wall of flame headed straight for him. At it's current speed, he could dodge it easily, but then he
hears the screams of the people around him. He looks around and sees the people's faces filled with terror. He grits his teeth
and pulls back his arms, "Damnit!". He shoots out his hands and creates a forcefield around himself and the people
in the building. The fire hits his barrier with such a force that a section of wall is blown out, all of the windows in the
building shatter and the people are thrown around like rag dolls, but not one flame gets inside. After the fire dissipates,
Vegita falls to his knees, he's out of power. "D...damn, I'm too nice.". Thump, he falls over unconcious. Gokou
appears in the hole in the wall looking for him, "Vegita!?". He should be more concerned with his own safety. Hildegarn
appears behind him and smashes him between his hands. Goten and Trunks look on helplessly, "Papa!", "Father!".
Gokou falls to the ground KOed. Hildegarn roars and breathes fire through the city destroying a number of buildings.
Else Trunks comes up with an idea. "Goten! Let's do the Fusion!". Goten nods, "Okay!". They get in
their positions and do the pose in mid-air. "Fuuu-SION! HA!" A bright light fills the screen and Super Saiya-jin
3 Gotenks emerges. Energy surges over his body, "Hey, allright, here comes Super Saiya-jin 3!". Hildegarn continues
his rampage, and terrorizes people in building by putting his tail down through the center of them. Gotenks appears behind
him. (Remember, Fusion characters always take on a completely new personality that's 100% cocky.) Gotenks boasts, "C'mon
c'mon monster! It's time for you to become history! I, Master Gotenks, will personally send you to Enma Daiou!". Hildegarn
utters a deep rumbling growl and turns around quickly swinging his fist at the little boasting ball of energy, he dodges the
blow easily and mocks the monster, "Whoah!" He appears in fron of it, and Hildegarn swings again destroying and
overpass, but Gotenks dodges again, and....of course he continues to taunt him sarcastically, "Hey!". He flies towards
a structure identical to Tokyo Tower and flips around in all directions, "Heh heh heh!". Hildegarn picks up speed
and tries to grasp him, but Gotenks zips out of the way, and Hildegarn falls into the tower. Gotenks flies high into the air
and shouts, "NOW! Renzouku Shine Shine Missile!" (Continuous Kill Kill Missile). He shoots about a million ki blasts
straight at Hildegarn and each one connects. He gives out a final roar, then the tower completely collapses. Gotenks smiles
victoriously, "Hey hey!". The smoke clears and all that remains of Hildegarn is a brown shell of his body. Gotenks
floats up to it bangs it, *Thud Thud* "Well, that's all you had? What a weak monster!". Gokou and Gohan are back
in the air. Gokou calls out, "Finish it! Hurry!". Gotenks floats up, "Yeah yeah.". He gathers energy for
a second and then shoots a blast at the shell. It creates a huge explosion when it hits. And at last it's all over....or is
it? The brown shell hasn't exploded. It's still standing, and through the smoke of the blast, a green light can be
seen eminating from a crack in the shell. Gotenks laughs, but then the crack gets bigger, and grows down the back of the shell.
Then the shell splits open, and Hildegarn's true form emerges from the shell. Gotenks gasps. This new Hildegarn looks very
organic and even has a set of horns and wings. Gohan and Gokou just stare as the new and improved monster rears back its head
and lets out a roar that shakes the Earth. It's first target is the one that hurt it the most. Gotenks. It stretches out its
wings and covers the distance between him and the little warrior in no time at all. It slams Gotenks through an overpass,
and when he hits the ground, he splits back into Goten and Trunks. Both are knocked out. Gohan rushes after them to see if
they're okay. He doesn't even see Hildegarn come up from behind him. Hildegarn twists his tail around him and begins to squeeze
the life out of him. Videl flies after him, "Gohan!". Hildegarn wastes no time in breathing fire staright at her.
She screams, and the force of the fire send her smashing into a cement wall, (quite painful since she's a normal human who's
nowhere near the level of any of the Z-Soldiers). Hildegarn unravels his tail and flings Gohan into the same building Videl
hit, only he goes straight through the wall. He weakly calls out to Videl then passes out. She's knocked out as well. Hildegarn
roars again, but then Gokou emerges with a fury. "He has an amazing power. This guy is a real monster.". He heads
for Hildegarn. He dodges a burst of fire, and goes around Hildegarn's back. But Hildegarn goes back to his old tricks, and
dissapears, the reappears beside Gokou and hits him hard, then appears behind Gokou and thwacks him with his tail. THEN he
appears behind him while he's stil flailing through the air and punches him again. AND THEN he brings his face right up behind
Gokou. Gokou spins around and fires a blast at him, but misses. The monster appears one last time behind him, and Gokou knows
it without even looking. Before Hildegarn even smashes him, Gokou's eyes open wide as he screams, "Oh shit!". *BAM*
Hildegarn follows through and smashes Gokou into a water supply. Hildegarn speeds away as several building fall in on top
of Gokou. It's safe to say Gokou's currently disabled. With no one left in his way, Hildegarn chases the remaining
citizens through the streets in a scene much like something from Godzilla. Gokou gets up, but he's not even Super Saiya-jin.
He's pretty badly hurt, "It...it wasn't damaged at all. Damn. How can I... possibly... beat him?". *Thud* He falls
over. In the distance explosions can be seen going off throughout the city. Hoi laughs..again...and declares his victory,
"Let's destroy everything! Hildegarn! You must reapo all of the energy from their life force!". Hoi laughs again,
but his speech is interrupted by the sound of the Holy Flute. Tapion is playing the melody to disable the monster! Hoi looks
in his direction and glares. The entire city is silent again, and the song of the Holy Flute can be heard everywhere. Videl
shakes, she can't even get up, "If this is some kind of nightmare...please wake us all up...". Everyone is still
KOed or disabled, but when Trunks hears the song, his eyes fly open, "Brother.". And now finally we see the Legendary
Brave Soldier playing his flute atop a large building. Hildegarn pulls back his head and roars in pain. Hoi shouts at him,
"Idiot! That's totally useless now!". But Tapion continues to play. Hildegarn shoots fire at Tapion, but he creates
a barrier around himself, and continues to play, not missing a single note. Trunks walks towards him, and sees an incredible
sight, Hildegarn is actually backing away from Tapion! It pulls back its head and roars, but it can't do anything. Now Tapion
closes in on the monster and plays his song loud and clear. Trunks finally realizes it, "So brave..it's true! Tapion
really is the Legendary Brave Warrior!". Tapion looks at the monster, more determined than ever and reassures himself,
"I cannot lose!". Hildegarn backs up in fear, but finds himself with his back to a buidling. Tapion thinks, "To
use the souls of all these people! I will put an end to this!". Hildegarn utters a final screem and vaporizes. The smoke
travels into Tapion's body, and Hildegarn is sealed once again. Hoi screams, "NO! This can't be!". Finally, when
all of the mist enters Tapion's body, he falls to the ground exhausted. Trunks runs up to him, "YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT
BROTHER!". Tapion gets to his knees an pulls out the Holy Sword. He offers the hilt to Trunks. The he pleads softly,
"Trunks, while Hildegarn is trapped inside of me, kill me.". Trunks gasps. Tapion continues, "Trunks, you have
to save the Earth!". "No! No I can't!". "DO IT! You want to be a brave warrior yourself?!". Trunks
shakes his head and chokes on tears, "I can't.". "Trunks, please. The Earth will be completely destroyed. Before
that happens, let me die as a brave warrior! If he comes out again, then it's all over, for everyone. Please.". Trunks
shivers for a second, then grits his teeth. Tapion sits motionless, offering Trunks the sword. Finally Trunks takes it into
his hands and raises it to his face. Tapion smiles. "Thanl you. I'm glad that I got to meet you.". A tear drops
down Trunks' face, but his features harden and he raises the sword above his head. From the rooftops Hoi screams, "NO
NO! STOP IT!". Tapion smiles for a second, as Trunks prepares himself for what he's about to do, but suddenly, Tapion
falls forward and grabs his head. Trunks drops the sword, "Brother!". He rushes to his side. Tapion screams horribly
and the smoke that is Hildegarn leaves his body for the last time, because the Holy Flute shatters in his hands. Hoi stand
behind Tapion where the smoke is forming Hildegarn, " STUPID! Your body alone can't seal away all of Hildegarn!".
The familliar roar is heard above their heads, and Hildegarn is reborn. He lets out a truimphant roar, and everyone is still
out cold...except for Gokou. Hoi stands right at the beast's feet and laughs insanely, "HEE HEE HEEE! NOW DIE!".
But just then, a shadow appears above his little body. Hoi looks up and doesn't even have time to scream as Hildegarn crushes
him under his foot. When the monster steps away, all that remains of the Black Magician is a few robes. Trunks and Tapion
look up at the monster, there's no way they could possibly defeat it, but Trunks still stands tall ready to fight. But then,
from another part of the city, a scream is heard. Trunks looks towards it and sees a figure hovering in mid-air between two
buidlings. The power of the scream causes the buildings around the figure to fall to the ground. Hildegarn turns around to
see what all the noise is about. He's not gonna like what he sees. It's Full Power Super Saiya-jin 3 Son Gokou, "You!
I will not show you any mercy for all that you've done here!". Hildegarn flies straight at Gokou and swings, but misses
by a long shot. While the beast is distracted by Gokou Trunks leaps into the air, the Holy Sword in hand, and slices off Hildegarn's
tail. Hildegarn screams and spits up blood. The once deadly appendage falls useless to the ground. Trunks goes up for another
cut, but Gokou yells out, "TRUNKS! I'LL HANDLE THIS!". Trunks gasps at Gokou's words. Finally Gohan awakens and
yells out to his dad, "Father! Hi weak point is...". Gokou interrupts, "Yes, I know! He's open for only a second
when he attacks.". Gokou jumps up to Hildegarn's level, and the monster smashes him in the face. Gokou brushes it off
easily with a smile, "That's nothing!". Hildegarn tries to punch him again, but he pushes back the beast's fist,
"Your blows don't even bother me! C'mon, give me your best shot!". Well Gokou, you asked for it! Hildegarn gathers
all of his power in his fist and slams Gokou into several buildings, but amazingly, the buildings break against Gokou's back,
and Gokou is still fine. "If I can't do it". Gokou pushes his fist back agaian, but gets clobbered..again. "If
I can't do it..". He lands on the ground. "If I can't do it, THEN WHO CAN?". Hildegarn rears back and puts
his whole body into his punch. But Gokou stands motionless, until the titanic fist is literally inches from his face. He jumps
out of the way, and heads stright for Hildegarn's chest and screams, "RYU KEN!". (DRAGON FIST!). Gokou puts his
right fist forward, and it literally explodes into a gigantic golden dragon. It twists and turns, then goes completely through
Hildegarn's chest. The roaring of both beasts fills the air. Fire shoots up from the ground and forms into more sections of
the dragon, then they shoot through Hildegarn's body. Then for a second, the entire dragon is seen coiled around Hildegarn's
body in a huge mass. Hildegarn screams and then a huge flash of light blocks him out and he's turned into nothing but particles
of air. Hildegarn has been completely destroyed. Above the desloate city, a gape in the clouds opens up, over where
Hildegarn stood moments before. Trunks runs forward, "YOU DID IT!". Tapion looks in wonder at the figure in the
center of the light from the sky. Gokou stand with his right fist raised with a huge smile across his face. His long golden
hair shines in the light. He looks almost angelic. Tapion looks over the scene, "It' over, it's finally over. Hildegarn
is vanquished.". Later that day, in the yard of what remains of the Capsule Corp., Buruma has set up a Time Machine just
like the one Future Trunks came in. Inside is Tapion. Everyone is gathered around him. Gokou pipes up, "Don't worry,
I'll restore the city and everyone when I call upon Shenron again.". Buruma pushes a few buttons on the machine, "Okay,
everything's set This should be able to get you home.". "Thank you very much.". Trunks looks a little sad,
"Aw, I thought I'd gotten a brother.". Buruma comforts him, "Don't worry, you can always meet him again with
another Time Machine.". "Oh yeah, that's right!". Tapion calls the little warrior, "Hey Trunks.".
"What?". Tapion throws him something. Trunks catches it. It's the Holy Sword and it's sheath! "You're giving
this to me?". "Yes, I won't be needing it anymore.". Trunks jumps up and down, "Yay!". Tapion smiles,
"Everyone, I'll see you again!". In an instant he flies into the sky and dissappears. Trunks runs after him for
a bit, and straps on the sheath. He looks into the sky and smiles, his hair blowing peacefully in the wind.
