    "No! No this can't be!" Ino said as they watched from the branches above. "She was the strongest! After all  we've done how could she lose!" Kohga cried as she drove her sword into the branch. Alssa walked to the edge of the branch and peered down. "There is one thing I can do," She sad. "You guys start packing up all the data and get ready to leave," "What are you planning?" Iga asked. "Resparking her soul with another," Alssa sighed as she clapped her hands together.

    "Goku!" Natsu lead the charge over to their worn and battered friend. "Hey guys," He wheezed. Natsu pulled him up on his shoulder and started leading him back towards town. "The guild began to swarm Goku before Gohan told them to give him some space. "That was incredible!" Wendy said as she started to heal him. "That was one of the manliest displays I've ever seen!" Elfman flexed. "That was quite the performance, but I'm curious how you learned Fairy Law?" Erza asked. "It's hard to explain, and I'm still not sure myself," Goku chuckled. Something strange did happen. Erza thought. Goku sparked again and staggered. "I'm good," He said before everyone panicked. "Now we just need to figure out how to get rid of that tree," Lucy said. "Once dad and Vegeta are back to full strength it shouldn't be a problem," Gohan said. "Oh, I forgot to mention that Bulma sent me with the radar so tracking down the Dragon Balls much-" Gohan is cut off as Wendy started to float in the air. "What's going on?" Natsu asked. "You tell me!" Wendy cried as she shot up further.  "You'll find out in hell!" "WENDY!!" Natsu dropped Goku and threw himself between Wendy and a blast from out of nowhere. Natsu dragged Wendy back down and hit the earth like a sack of bricks. Shiripa stood on a nearby boulder. A faint golden light surrounded her body. "Alssa gave her life to let me kill you all. I won't waste it," She said as she began to charge a massive Hakai. "Everyone run!" Gohan shouted as he started to charge a Kamehameha. "But Gohan," "GO!!" Gohan shouted as he cut Videl off. "Ka, Me, Ha, Me, HA!!" "HAKAI!!" The two blasts clashed. Gohan, being far less fatigued, started to push back against Shiripa. "I WON'T LOSE AGAIN!" Shiripa roared as she powered up further. Gohan's boots began to lose their traction. "Ghh, no, no I can't lose! Not to a monster like you!" Gohan shouted. "That's the spirit,," Gajeel limped his way next to Gohan. "Let's show her what we can do," He smirked. "Right!" Gohan nodded. "Iron Dragon ROAR!" Gajeel added his blast to Gohan's and they pushed Shiripa's blast back. "A pathetic Dragon won't make a difference!" She tried to power up more, but her aura sparked and dispersed. Empty. She dodged to the left as he pair forced the blast back and launched it into space. The two collapsed and caught their breath. "Damn it," Gajeel wheezed. Shiripa formed her arm into a scythe. "The end,"

    A blade stopped Shiripa an inch from Gohan's chest. "That's not going to happen," Erza said coldly. She forced her hand away and forced Shiripa back. "Ice Make: Knuckle!" Gray ran in and smashed her in the face; sending her flying. "We'll take care of this, get the others out of here," Grey said as they ran after Shiripa. "Be careful! She's still incredibly strong," Gohan said as he flew off with Gajeel. "Follow my lead," Erza said as she requiped into her Speed Armor and dashed forward. "Yeah, you got it," Gray sighed as she dashed off. "The Saiyans put their all in, I wouldn't sleep if I didn't as well!" Erza slashed at Shiripa's face. She tried to lean out of the way, but Erza's blade left a gash from her cheek all the way down her side. "Stone Dragon Scales!" Shiripa easily grabbed Erza's sword, bent it in her stone arms, and pulled her face to face. "You won't win Titania, I'll ram my fist down your throat and break your goddamn spine!" Shiripa rushed forward and plowed Erza into a boulder. "Stone Dragon," "Ice Make: Hammer!" Gray batted Shiripa back. Gohan rushed in from above and plowed Shiripa into the ground. She kicked his legs out from under hi, and donkey kicked him into Grey. Erza darted behind her and pinned Shiripa to the ground. "Ice Make: Floor!" Gray froze Shiripa's arms and legs to the ground while Gohan leaped back up on his feet. Well, if I'm gonna try it, might as well be now. Gohan put two fingers to his forehead. "Hold her off long enough for me to get energy," "What is this?" Gray asked. "It's a technique my friend Piccolo developed. I've been working it myself as of late, but this is my first real try at it," "Alright, you got it!" Gray said as he ran to help Erza.

            Shiripa shattered the ice restraints and grabbed Erza's spear. "Stone Dragon, Spear!" She turned her arm into a long slab of rock and knocked Erza back. "Ice Make: Lance!" Shiripa caught all of the blades in her stone arm and threw another at Gray. Erza requiped into her Heaven's Wheel armor and rushed forward. "Pentagram Sword!" Erza slashed pass Shiripa and managed to cut her face as she leaped to the side. "Ice Make:Cage!" Grey slammed to cage down on Shiripa as he leaped overhead. Erza requiped into her Sea Empress armor and sent a large wave straight into the cage, pinning her to the side of the cage. "OK, MOVE!" Gohan shouted. Orange and yellow sparks were crackling around his fingers. Erza leaped back as Gray put up a shield. "Special, Beam, CANNON!!!" Shiripa covered her body in stone scales as Gohan fired the beam straight at her chest. It hit her with enough force to knock her out of Gray's cage and sent her skidding into a hill. "HAKAI!" Shiripa surrounded her body with destruction energy and vaporized the beam. Shiripa pulled herself up and attempted to catch her breath. Damn it. That was everything I had left, and I can tell she's not done just yet. Gohan thought. Shiripa bent down and took a massive bite out of a rock. "I will just keep eating and restoring my power again and again. These flesh wounds aren't enough to stop me either," Shiripa thrusted a pillar of stone at Gohan and knocked him away. Gray rushed in with an ice sword but Shiripa caught his arm. In the blink of an eye she broke his arm and threw him into Gohan. "Die," She let loose with a Stone Dragon's Roar right at the two. Erza rushed in with her Adamantine Armor and blocked the blast. "You won't hurt them!" She snarled. "You will die with them!" Shiripa flew up and began to charge a ki blast. "Erza!" Gohan shouted. "I'll stop it! Don't worry I'll protect you, get out of here!" "Don't be a fool! Erza!" Gray's shouts did nothing to sway Erza. Gohan picked Gray up and quickly flew away. Shiripa let loose with her blast as Erza put up her shield.

            Vegeta leaped out of nowhere and matched her beam. "Vegeta?!" Erza exclaimed. "Don't gawk, I can't hold on forever! Get ready to fight!" He shouted. Erza requiped into her Clear Heart clothing and summoned Crimson Sakura. Vegeta turned Super Saiyan 2 and managed to detonate the blasts. Shiripa fell and landed on a ledge. Vegeta adjusted his footing, Erza raised her sword, and Shiripa took a bit out of a rock. Shiripa roared and leaped at them. Vegeta rushed forward and caught her arms. Erza ran up and smashed Shiripa in the face with the but of her sword. Vegeta and Erza didn't waste a second. Both were on Shiripa in an instant, pummeling and slashing at her as they forced her back. Vegeta kicked her into the air as Erza followed. "This is for our pain, our suffering, AND ALL OF MY FURY!!" Erza slashed down and left a massive gash across Shiripa's chest. Vegeta flew up and hit her with a point black Big Bang Attack. Shiripa careened into the Sahonai Tree, leaving a massive crater. "Scarlet!" Erza planted her foot in Vegeta's hand and he launched her straight at Shiripa. She forced herself free from the crater, causing Erza to only chop a massive chunk out of the tree. Shiripa flew right at Vegeta and headbutted him. He slid back but easily regained his footing and grabbed her. "I've had enough of you!" Vegeta shouted as he forced her into a headlock. "NOW ERZA!!" Vegeta yelled. Erza immediately lowered her sword. "I DON'T CARE IF I'M IN THE WAY JUST DO IT!!" He roared. Erza took a deep breath, raised her sword, and kicked off the tree. "So you're going to sacrifice yourself to stop me?" Shiripa asked as she struggled. Vegeta didn't respond, only tightening his grip. "Your rampage ends here!" Erza shouted. "Like hell I'll die here," Shiripa snarled. Vegeta tightened his grip further. I'm sorry Vegeta. Erza adjusted her grip on the sword. A tear formed in her eye as she thrust it forward. At the last moment Vegeta threw Shiripa into Erza's sword as he leaped out of the way. Erza stabbed Shiripa right through her heart and smashed her into the ground. Erza fell backwards and gasped for air. Shiripa was completely limp, the color already fading from her skin. Erza walked over to Shiripa and looked at her. She knelt down and closed Shiripa's eyes. She reached to pull out her sword, but stopped short of doing so. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Vegeta was standing behind her, gently patting her on the shoulder.  "You did what you had to," He said calmly. Erza pulled the sword out and requiped it away. "It's over," She said as the two began to walk back to the guild.
