Piccolo turned around just in time to see the first kneecap being smashed under Exodys' foot. Vegeta's groan sounded muffled and he sucked in a breath, breathing hard before glaring up at the other, not giving the bastard the satisfaction of hearing him scream. Piccolo turned his head back around. Goku slipped out of consciousness, and dangled in his hands, "Goku, damn it this is no time for a nap!!"<br/><br/>Another cry made Piccolo turn back around and now Vegeta was impaled to a tree. His eyes widened, "Damn it! Goku, snap out of it NOW!" a hand swung, slapping the male over the face with force. Goku's head whipped to the side, but he was having trouble keeping his eyes open, still.<br/><br/>A flash of light erupted and Bardock glared, "Enough!" He started for Exodys but Piccolo rose a hand to stop him. Bardock, at first thinking would argue, just tasked angrily, "So what, I have to sit here and watch him get pummeled?!"<br/><br/>Piccolo watched Bardock. He knew... it was destined to happen. "Yes. You are."<br/><br/>"He said he was sorry.."<br/><br/>Piccolo and Bardock then looked over to Goten, who had rose his voice above the cries coming from Vegeta, "He.. he said through his death there would be an awakening... but he didn't know from who. He just said he thought it was Dad..." a hand rose and brushed a tear away that managed to escape, "He said he was sorry... and..."<br/><br/>Another loud cry came as Vegeta felt the blade plunge into his lung. Blood spilled from his mouth, down his chest and onto the ground. 'Go...' he was talking to Goten now, with what little energy he had left, 'Keep going...'<br/><br/>Goten rubbed the side of his head, not stopping the new tears that were forming, "God, I can hear him... he's talking to me now..."<br/><br/>Piccolo shook his head, "No! Vegeta, stop it, save your energy!"<br/><br/>"He said... he said he's out of energy..." Goten shook his head, "He said.. he said he's dying. But.. he said that Nexus needs to finish what he started. And he said that Dad... remember what you promised."<br/><br/>It was as if on cue, Goku then opened his eyes, the golden aura radiating from his pupils. Piccolo turned his head and nearly jumped back, surprised that Goku had woken up so quickly. Then they all heard the devastating, sickening snap. Piccolo turned just as Vegeta's head fell softly forward and the last breath escaped him. But he did what he said... he never screamed.<br/><br/>Goku exploded into rage. Nexus had stepped forward but the force Goku unleashed threw everyone aside like rag dolls flying in hurricane weather. First gold, then red, then blue aura was radiating from Goku's core. His warrior cry got louder, more shrill by each passing second until it was like nothing to the ear.<br/><br/>An angry scowl on his face, Goku looked up at Exodys, blue aura resonating around him.<br/><br/>"I... I cant..." Piccolo was at a loss for words. What was this transformation??<br/><br/>"I... I can't get a read on his power level.." Bardock was equally amazed, watching from sitting on the ground, where he had landed from the shockwave.<br/><br/>Goten shook his head, but smiled softly, "You did it.. you're a.."<br/><br/>Goku took one step forward, towards Exodys, "All-powerful... all mighty... the STRONGEST in the world..." He rose an eyebrow, smirking at his own condescending tone as he 'described' Exodys. "Has an amusing tone to it, doesn't it?"<br/><br/>Piccolo rose again, "Who is standing before us?"<br/><br/>Goku, seemingly annoyed by the question, turned his head to Piccolo. "Who am i?"<br/><br/>He turned his head back around, "I am hope for all who are weak." Goku clenched a hand and shock waves were sent, causing a large three to splinter down the middle.<br/><br/>"I am the faith for those who lost!" Goku's voice was getting louder as he clenched the other fist, sending more shock waves and completely shattering a large rock into powder.<br/><br/>"I am the light that guides through darkness!" Goku was nearly screaming now, glaring at Exodys through changed eyes. His level, that he knew could only be detected by Nexus, rose exponentially, "Feast your eyes on a REAL God!!"
