Saiyan Legacy: A New Dawn

Chapter 14: The Legend Of Goku

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moon hung high in the night sky, casting its eerie glow over the ruins of Emperor Pilaf's crumbling castle. The once-proud structure was now a shadow of its former self, reduced to little more than rubble by Goku's terrifying transformation. The giant, hulking figure of the Great Ape roared into the night, sending shockwaves through the air with each thunderous step. You stood alongside Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar, your heart pounding as you watched in awe and fear. Goku, your naive and kind-hearted friend, had turned into a monstrous beast.

Pilaf, Shu, and Mai were jolted awake by the sounds of destruction reverberating through the castle. The tremors knocked objects from shelves, sending cracks up the walls of the already damaged fortress.

"What... what's going on?" Pilaf stammered, his eyes wide with panic as he scrambled out of bed. The walls of his once-grand castle shook as though it might collapse at any moment.

"Something's tearing the castle apart!" Shu cried, clutching a pillow like it was his only lifeline.

"Do something about it!" Pilaf yelled, throwing his hands in the air, his voice tinged with both fear and anger.

Shu and Mai, still dressed in their pajamas, looked at each other in terror. They had no weapons, no plan, and only the flimsiest of defenses. In desperation, they began throwing whatever they could find—pillows, lamps, even slippers—at the giant ape outside the window. But their efforts were futile; the Great Ape didn't even notice as he continued to rip apart the castle.

"This is ridiculous," you muttered, watching as the situation spiraled further out of control. Goku, in his terrifying Oozaru form, was unstoppable.

With a mighty roar, Goku demolished another section of the castle, sending debris flying through the air. The destruction seemed almost instinctual, as though the Great Ape were consumed by a blind rage, his actions beyond any form of reason or logic.

"We need to get out of here!" Mai shouted as she and Shu fled from the chaos. They dashed through the halls, tripping over themselves as they raced to the hangar. Pilaf followed closely behind, clutching his robe as if it would somehow protect him from the destruction all around.

The trio reached their small plane, and within seconds, the engine roared to life. As the plane lifted off, Pilaf turned his gaze toward the ground below. His anger flared as he watched his beloved castle being ripped to shreds.

"Blow that beast out of the sky!" Pilaf ordered, his voice shaking with both fury and fear.

The plane's cannons fired at Goku, but the bullets bounced harmlessly off his thick fur. Goku, now fully in the thrall of his monstrous transformation, paid no attention to the tiny plane buzzing around him like an insect.

"Heat-seeking missile!" Pilaf commanded.

A missile shot from the plane, aimed directly at Goku's chest. It struck with a massive explosion, and for a moment, everything went still. The Great Ape swayed, its massive form shaking as the ground trembled beneath its feet. Then, with a final, earth-shattering roar, Goku collapsed to the ground.

"He's down!" Pilaf cheered, a grin of victory spreading across his face. "We did it! The monster is finished!"

From where you stood, you knew that wasn't remotely close to taking down a Oozaru. "Wait," you whispered, stepping forward. "That won't end it that easily."

Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar all stared at the giant ape, holding their breath. Then, as you had expected, Goku's massive hands twitched.

"He's still conscious!" you shouted, panic surging through you as the beast's eyes snapped open once more.
