Finding Hope

Chapter 75: The End of A long Fight!!!!!!

Tsubaki's pov

I was kicked harshly into the side of the building while everyone rushed Jean, who was seemingly stronger than before. He blew through everyone like it was no problem, which was a huge problem. At this point, I was started to get severely frustrated, and even though I had been given a sensu bean, I could feel my energy draining. Trunks quickly got to his feet, rushing to keep Jean at bay while Vegeta recovered. By now, Krillen and Yamcha both managed to evacuate the area in record time before anyone could get severely hurt. When they came back, they quickly joined in the fight. "Damn it all to hell, he's so much stronger than he was when we first fought him." Piccolo cursed, panting heavily as he rose to his feet. "This is not good at all. There's no way to hold him back for much longer." Gohan tore off the undershirt he wore, revealing his bare chest. Jean hurled a huge energy blast at Dad and Vegeta, neither of them having enough time to dodge it. The two flew back from the impact, as Wyatt finally got out of Dad's hold. He immediately took off, heading away from the area as quickly as he could. I went to go after him but I was pulled into a line of fire as Jean came barreling towards Gohan and me. Gohan acted quickly, tackling me to the ground as a ki blast whizzed past our heads. "Where in the hell do you think you're going?" 22 snapped, stopping Wyatt in his tracks. "Uhh." Before 22 could grab onto Wyatt,  Piccolo was thrown into him and the two flew backward into a house. Just as they flew back, Vegeta and Dad came charging forward to get to Jean. Of course, Jean immediately sensed the two of them coming and fired off ki blasts at them. I looked over my shoulder, standing to my feet as I saw Wyatt take off. It seemed that Jean noticed that too because he blew through Dad and Vegeta, heading straight for Wyatt. Said man looked back over his shoulder, panicking as he saw Jean coming after him. Without a second thought, I instant transmitted between the two causing everyone to shout. Wyatt sighed a breath of relief as Jean came to a quick halt, before blasting me close range with a huge ki blast. I had no time to dodge it, causing Gohan to shout as I was hit with it. For some reason, this ki blast was different from the others he had thrown. My body felt heavier than usual as if something was weighing me down, I flew back from the impact of the blast feeling even more tired than before. Luckily, Piccolo had been nearby as he managed to catch me before I could hit a building. 

"Thanks... Piccolo." I sighed lightly as I tried to ignore the sharp pain in my side, "Are you alright, Tsu? You don't look too good." Krillen asked, "I'll be okay once we freaking finish this dude off." I said, shaking my head as I pushed myself away from Piccolo.

"That's not going to exactly be easy. He's built himself to withstand long fights like this. That's why he can endure so much from Goku and Vegeta." 22 said, making me groan in frustration.

"You just had to piss off the worst person alive, didn't you?!" I snapped, looking to 22, who was holding onto Wyatt. He looked at me with a slight glare, "Why do you all keep blaming me when I'm not the one responsible for his sister's death?" Wyatt argued, making 22 and I scoff loudly. "You are the one at fault. Had you not recruited his little sister, she wouldn't have died and he wouldn't be doing this now. Stop trying to place blame on someone else." Trunks said, glaring harshly at Wyatt. He clammed up, realizing that he couldn't argue with him on that.

I felt the ground shake underneath me heavily, my ears picking up on the sounds of screaming that echoed throughout the air. I opened my eyes slowly, my ears now picking up the screams clearer. I could hear screams so much clearer, they sounded painful. My blood ran cold when I recognized who the screams belonged to, it was Dad. I slowly sat up, grunting in pain as I held my side. My eyes scanned the area, feeling a slight breeze as I looked around. On my left, I saw Gohan and Trunks, both of whom were passed out and heavily injured. Piccolo was hanging by the back of his shirt, off of a large metal rod at the top of a nearby building. Krillen was just a few feet away from me, also heavily injured and passed out. 22 and Wyatt were right next to one another, both passed out with injuries. Then my eyes landed on Vegeta, who was leaning up against a boulder not to far from Trunks. His shirt was completely ripped, exposing his chest and he had more injuries than Gohan and Krillen combined. It made my blood boil that everyone had been so brutally beaten by that bastard. And now, now he was harming Dad. His screams only grew more painful and it made my heart hurt, this must have been how he felt whenever I screamed like that. Everyone in our group but Dad and I were down, I shook my nerves and slowly rose to my feet. The area was extremely destroyed, the hospital no longer being there. I slowly rose into the air, heading to grab Piccolo. I set him down softly, bringing him over to Gohan and Trunks. I grabbed Krillen and Yamcha, bringing him closer to the others. Once I had them all in a relatively safe spot, I flew back into the air. When I got high enough, I heard a large explosion and a building to my left collapsed. When I looked to see what caused it, I immediately rushed over to the debris falling. I instant transmitted, grabbing onto Dad's arm. He looked up wondering who caught him, his eyes softening when he spotted me. I took a moment to look at him, feeling tears well up as I noticed just hurt he was. It seemed he sensed my feelings, he sent a weak smile as I slowly dropped down to the ground away from the building.
