For some strange reason, I'd REALLY like the see this chapter MSTed.

Probably because it's the last part of the OSA and I'd like to see it 
go out with flying colors.  Oh well....

Once again, I'd like to give another REALLY big amount of thanks to 
Chris Angel, who let me use his character of "The God of Moments" and 
for helping me make sure I got the character right.  As well as being 
a good friend.

Now, let's begin.

				  TRIO OSA:
		   (Special Guest Stars from Oh! My Brother)
			         DEATH GHIDORA
				   Part 3:
				   BATTLE

	The group had been running for a good five minutes, trying to put 
distance between themselves and the creature that three of the five 
of them, would soon fight.  Stopping to lean against a tree, Sailor 
Moon panted, "Wait... second.  Breath... catch... need to."

	Belldandy nodded as she and the others came to a halt.  She said, 
"We are far enough away now.  When he awakens, we will be able to see 
him fully."

	The entire time that the Trio, God and Goddess had run, green energy 
flowed from the trees and plants around them, being absorbed by 
something that was deep underground.  The ground continued to shake.  
Then, a fissure on top one of the mountains appeared, spewing forth 
steam and lava.  From the fissure, a sound reached the ears of the 
assembled heroes.  It was like the cry of a bull elephant, yet much 
larger and far more sinister.

	The fissure then erupted into a large hole, as a serpent like head 
and neck, as big as a New York City apartment building, broke through 
the surface.  The head raised itself to the sky and let out another 
one of its trumpeting cries.  Chris and the Trio, felt their jaws 
drop at what happened next.  Belldandy however, only moaned softly, 
"He arises once more."

	For five miles on both sides of him, the Adirondacks collapsed into 
an unseen pit as Death Ghidora pulled himself free of his prison.  
The yells of the first head were quickly joined by a second and then 
a third, each of them expressing joy at their freedom.

	Death Ghidora was large.  VERY large.  As big as the mighty mountain 
range that had once surrounded it.  Each head was a carbon copy of 
the other.  They were much like mythical Chinese dragon heads in 
appearance, covered with black as midnight scales.  Their six eyes 
were the orange-red color of fire.  The body of Death Ghidora was 
like that of a European dragon, four legged, hunched low to the 
ground and powerful looking.  Under the necks and leading to the 
belly were tan colored, fleshy looking, bone plates.  On his back, 
were two red frills, which looked like incomplete wings.

	Chris looked at the Trio.  Then at Death Ghidora.  Then the Trio.  
Then Death Ghidora once more.  He took a deep breath, as if to say 
something, but words failed him and he decided to keep the thought of,
 "David and Goliath has NOTHING on this..." to himself.

	"Now what?" Yin Yang-chan asked, flexing the arm that Belldandy had 
healed while they had been running.

	"Now," Belldandy explained, "he will begin to drain the life energy 
from the trees of this forest.  He will continue to take energy from 
plant life after he starts walking and eventually, he will gain the 
ability to fly."

	"If he flies over a city," Sailor Moon gasped, "he'll kill millions.
"

	"No," Belldandy replied, "Death Ghidora will ignore humanity until 
it has drained the world of all plant life."

	"This thing prefers trees to humans?" Chris asked.

	Belldandy nodded and replied, "On average, humans live less than 
eighty years.  Trees live two to three hundred years.  It is more 
efficient."

	As if to punctuate the goddesses statement, the plant life around 
them began to glow green, their life energy flowing off into Death 
Ghidora.  As they did so, they began to wither and warp, becoming 
lifeless husks.  The Trio, God and Goddess, were left completely 
untouched.

	Sayaman frowned and asked, "Skuld said we could fight Death Ghidora 
now, right?"

	"Yes," Belldandy replied, "but..."

	Sayaman powered up to his Super form and said, "Then let's go!"

	As Sayaman flew off, Yin Yang-chan and Sailor Moon raced off into 
the withering forest after him.  As they did so, Belldandy yelled 
after them, "Wait!"

	Unfortunately, they were already out of ear shot, and continued 
their charge.  Chris asked, "What's wrong?  Want me to go get them?"

	"No," Belldandy replied, "they are too close to Death Ghidora now 
for us to go.  I had hoped to give them the final initiation before...
 but I guess that their youth had more control over them then I 
expected."

	"Final initiation?" Chris asked, "I thought Skuld's zapping them, 
let them fight that... big... THINGY."

	"Yes... and no."

	Sayaman watched as Death Ghidora continued to take energy from the 
woods underneath him.  He shouted down to his companions, "I'll go 
first to see what he can do!  You two hang back until either I have 
him on the ropes or vice versa!"

	Sailor Moon and Yin Yang-chan signaled their understanding and 
skidded to a stop as Sayaman bolted forward and fired a hail of ki 
balls at his opponent.

	Death Ghidora was caught flat footed by the assault and the full 
force of all the projectiles slammed into him.  All three of the 
monster's heads howled in rage as they turned to look at their small, 
flying foe.  Sayaman looped in midair and fired a more concentrated 
beam of ki, striking Death Ghidora in the chest, making the creature 
skid backwards three inches.

	Death Ghidora opened his mouths and from all three, balls of red 
lightning shot out at Sayaman.  The hero easily flew around them, at 
first, but then, as the assault continued, they began to become more 
and more coordinated, coming closer and closer with frightening 
accuracy.  The stink of ozone filled Sayaman's nose and he knew that 
if he didn't do something quick, his goose would be cooked... not to 
mention his body.

	Dodging more of the gigantic red projectiles, Sayaman flew right in 
Death Ghidora's right most face and hit it with a powerful left cross.
  The head twisted from the force of the blow as the loud 
reverberation of the punch, echoed for a three mile radius.  Death 
Ghidora's middle head opened its mouth and Sayaman prepared to move, 
expecting it to try and bite him, or fire another bolt of lightning.

	He wasn't expecting the concentrated blast of fire which came out 
and washed over him.  Sayaman had no time to fret over the complete 
loss of another cape as he ripped off his rapidly melting sunglasses, 
taking a small portion of skin with them and flew away to escape the 
heat so intense, that it left him light headed and carried the smell 
of sulfur.

	His clothes still on fire and making him look like a shooting star, 
Sayaman rushed back to the lake where his friends had teleported in 
through and dived in.  A large pillar of steam blasted a mile into 
the air from the force of Sayaman's impact and Death Ghidora let out 
howls of victory.  "GOHAN!" Yin Yang-chan and Sailor Moon cried in 
alarm.

	Sayaman, still smoking but no longer on fire, pulled himself out of 
the lake and grinned at his friends as he said, "I think this 
qualifies as being on the ropes."

	Yin Yang-chan turned to Sailor Moon and said, "Okay.  It's our turn 
then."

	Sailor Moon drew her scepter as Yin Yang-chan focused her confidence 
and they aimed their respective attacks at Death Ghidora.

	"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!"
	"MOKO TAKABISHIA!"

	The giant glowing pink heart struck Death Ghidora in the chest and 
sent him back a step as the emotions based ki attack hit him in 
between the eyes on his left head.  Snarling in both pain and rage, 
Death Ghidora prepared to unleash one of his oral weapons, but was 
stopped as Sayaman blasted back into the air, gathered a large amount 
of ki and cried, "KAME... HAME... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

	The intense blast of power smashed into all three of the monster's 
heads at once and the resulting explosion knocked him backward 
another few feet, yet did not knock him off his vertical base.  
"Spread out," Sayaman called down again, "we've got to keep him off 
balance."

	Yin Yang-chan and Sailor Moon ran into the, now dead, woods and from 
a position to the left of the monster, Sailor Moon fired another 
blast of her scepter attack and Death Ghidora's left head barked once 
in pain.  From the right, Yin Yang-chan leaped onto the creature's 
back and used her speed punching to land thousands of blows on the 
area where the unformed right wing was connected to Death Ghidora's 
body.  Sayaman flew high up into the air and fired hundreds of ki 
balls into the chest of the Trio's foe.

	Death Ghidora's heads turned from left to right, trying to decide 
who to go after first, since they were too far apart to try and send 
one head after each of them.  From the sidelines, Chris smiled as he 
said, "Looks like they're doing okay.  Maybe they won't need that 
final initiation."

	Belldandy sighed, "I fear that will not be.  Death Ghidora is still 
weak from his awakening, that will change soon.  In fact, it changes 
now."

	Yin Yang-chan continued punching, hoping that it would be able to 
contribute to the team victory in some way.  Sayaman moved in the 
fire another Kame-Hame-Ha and Sailor Moon leaped into the air to join 
her sex changing lover on the beasts back.  However at that moment, 
all three heads trilling at the increase of power, Death Ghidora's 
body produced a blue shock wave that blasted forth in all directions, 
hitting all of the Trio.

	Yin Yang-chan was blown off of the monster's back and only a last 
second, desperation grasp and swing around a tree branch, let her 
stop from hitting the ground with deadly force.  Instead, she only 
felt a strong, numbing jolt run through her legs as she landed on the 
ground and went into an uncontrolled roll to eat off the last of her 
momentum.  When the rolling stopped, she stayed on the ground, 
waiting for the pain that the blast had caused her to fade slightly.

	Great Sayaman was knocked backwards and out of his Super state.  He 
smashed through the trunks of several trees as he fell to the ground, 
creating a three foot deep hole as he crash landed.

	Sailor Moon's trajectory was thrown off as the blast struck her and, 
stars swimming in her vision, she flailed her arms out wildly and 
grasped the first thing that could stop her fall.  This turned out to 
not be such a good idea, as she was holding onto the bottom lip of 
Death Ghidora's right head.

	Sayaman pulled himself out of his hole and floated unsteadily 
through the air, using his ki sense, found where Yin Yang-chan was 
and headed over to join her.

	Yin Yang-chan slowly got back to her feet and rubbed her legs to rid 
the feeling of phantom pins and needles poking them.  She heard 
Sayaman ask, "You... okay?"

	"Not... really..." the martial artist replied, "I jammed... my legs..
. pretty... good... and... that blast... hurt like... hell."

	"Be glad..." Sayaman said as he cracked a tired smile, "he... 
couldn't... focus it... fully."

	"HHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!"

	The two heroes looked up and focused on the small white, blue, red 
and blonde dot that was on Death Ghidora's right head.  "USAGI!" Yin 
Yang-chan yelled.

	Sailor Moon's mind raced.  She had to think of something.  She had 
thought of letting go, but the second she had loosened her grip, 
Death Ghidora's middle head had bolted under her, ready to catch her 
and bite her in half.  Needless to say, she had tightened her grip 
after that.

	What was most frightening however, was how Death Ghidora seemed to 
study her with his free heads.  There was an intelligence combined 
with the rage in those eyes, cold and calculating.  Death Ghidora 
snaked his middle head closer to where Sailor Moon hung and snapped 
at her legs.  The senshi pulled her legs up quickly, letting out a 
shriek of terror each time his teeth missed her by an amount that was 
too close for her comfort.

	Death Ghidora's right head began to shake, trying to dislodge her 
and send her flying off into the distance.  Fortunately, Sailor 
Moon's magically enhanced strength let her, just barely, maintain her 
grip until the head became dizzy and stopped shaking.  Next, Death 
Ghidora's middle head opened it's mouth and tried to line up so that 
it could try and pinch her off.  While the attempt only lasted less 
then thirty seconds, it felt like an eternity to Sailor Moon as the 
mouth of Death Ghidora's middle head was all she could see.  The 
surprising and pungent smell of fresh wood pulp assaulted her 
nostrils.

	Finally seeing that he couldn't bite the Sailor off without hurting 
himself, Death Ghidora pulled back and stared at her, trying to think 
of a new plan.  Suddenly, a Moko Takabishia hit the left most head 
and it turned to see Yin Yang-chan on a tree branch, shaking her fist 
at him.  Using the distraction, Sayaman, back in Super form, flew in 
from the right and hit the middle head with a smashing upper cut.  
The middle head was knocked into the left most head and Death 
Ghidora's body lurched at the blow.

	Sayaman shouted to Sailor Moon, "Let go!  I'll catch you!"

	Sailor Moon did as asked but before the golden haired hero could do 
as he had promised, Death Ghidora's middle head whipped back and 
smashed him across the back, sending his spiraling to the ground.  
Sailor Moon saw this and flailed her arms wildly as she smashed into 
the bare branches of a large tree and collapsed on the ground.  She 
gripped her bruised, possibly broken, ribs and grunted, "Gohan... you 
fibber."

	Death Ghidora unleashed rivers of flame from all three of his heads, 
turning the dead and dried out plant life around him into a funeral 
pyre for the loss of nature's beauty, as he trumpeted in triumph.

	Crawling on the ground and choking on the thick, black smoke the 
fire sent up, Yin Yang-chan slowly made his way towards where Sailor 
Moon was clutching her chest.  "You... (cough cough) all right?"

	No... (cough hack)," came the pain filled reply, "my... (cough cough 
cough) ribs.  Hurts..."

	"We gotta... (hack hack) get up." Yin Yang-chan said, "We can't... 
(cough) let this thing win."

	"Hurts... (hack cough) too much."

	A few yards away from the blaze, Chris yelled, "GET THE HELL OUT OF 
THERE!  PULL OUT!  YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM!  GET THE FUCK 
AWAY!"

	His yells were in vain, as the Trio was too far away and too deep in 
the roaring forest fire to hear him.  Growling in frustration, Chris 
was about to pull them out himself, but heard Belldandy say, "No!  If 
you get involved, it will start a war between Heaven and Hell that 
will wipe out all of this reality!"

	"Is that another one of your lies, Belldandy?"

	The God and Goddess, surprised at the sudden voice, turned and saw a 
very angry Sailor Pluto, with a confused Super Saya-jin Trunks 
standing a foot behind her.  Belldandy walked over to the black 
highlighted woman and began to say, "I pray that you are here to help 
put..."

	That was as far as she got as Pluto balled up her left fist and hit 
Belldandy in the stomach, doubling the Goddess over.  In an 
infuriated whisper only the two of them could hear, the senshi 
whispered, "I am here and will bring them to you, only because it is 
for the good of the Time Line.  I have not forgotten and will never 
forgive, all that I have suffered because of you.  Remember that when 
our time of reckoning comes."

	With that, Sailor Pluto leaped over both her and her brother, and 
headed for the battle field.  "That's it," Chris rumbled, his voice 
low and menacing, "The bitch dies."

	"CHRISTOPHER JAMES ANGEL, GOD OF MOMENTS!" Belldandy snapped from 
where she had fallen to her knees.

	"Uh oh, full name AND title.  Jeez," Chris thought as he stopped 
short in his pursuit of Pluto, "what did I do THIS time?""

	"Give me your word," Belldandy continued as she got back to her feet,
 "that you will NOT attack her, under ANY circumstances, now or if we 
are to meet her again in the future."

	"But..."

	"Give me your word!"

	"But..."

	"NOW!  What is between the two of us, is for me and her to solve."

	"I..." Chris lowered his head in defeat as Belldandy locked her 
strict gaze with his baffled one, "promise."

	"But when all this is over," he promised himself, "I'm going to find 
out what the freaking story is with her."

	Trunks shook his head, this just kept on getting more confusing by 
the day.  As he jetted into the air and caught up with his partner, 
he asked, "Could you PLEASE tell me what all that back there, was 
about?"

	"It is a long story, Trunks." Sailor Pluto replied, a stray tear 
almost forming in her eye, "One that does not have a happy ending."

	As Death Ghidora marched forward, absorbing more life force from an 
area of the forest he had not drained yet, Pluto and Trunks rushed to 
give the Trio aid.

	Trunks landed next to the coughing duet of Sailor Moon and Yin Yang-
chan and asked, "You two all right?"

	"I'm... (cough) okay," Yin Yang-chan replied, "'cept for... (hack 
hack) this smoke.  But Sailor Moon... (cough hack cough)... has a few 
ribs busted."

	Sailor Moon, her throat too sore to speak, nodded in confirmation 
and winced as another shot of pain lanced through her body.  "Easily 
fixed," Trunks said as he reached into the pouch by his side and 
produced a senzu.

	The senshi opened her mouth and Trunks put the senzu in it.  Sailor 
Moon chewed the magic bean and, after grimacing from the pain of her 
ribs knitting themselves back together at an accelerated rate, was 
filled with a second energy and asked, "I thought the three of us 
were the only ones who could fight Death Ghidora.  No offence, but 
what are you doing here?"

	Trunks smirked and replied, "Think of this as a lesson in making 
sure you've heard everything before charging off into battle.  Come 
on, there's a rather large God and a cute Goddess who need to tell 
you something important."

	Upon regrouping with Belldandy and Chris, Yin Yang-chan and Sailor 
Moon were surprised to see that, while Great Sayaman was there, Pluto 
was no where to be seen.  "Where's Sailor Pluto?" Sailor Moon asked.

	"Dunno," Sayaman replied, "She brought me back around, gave me a 
senzu and left like she had a cake in the oven."

	Sighing, Trunks said, "Now that you three are all right, I've got to 
leave.  Good luck and good hunting, you guys."

	With that, Trunks flew off into the night as Belldandy said, "You 
three were lucky.  What you just did, is what has been the downfall 
of the other worlds that Death Ghidora has destroyed.  Had it not 
been for your allies, I doubt that you would have been given the 
chance to rectify it.

	"Just because you can fight an opponent, does not mean that victory 
is assured.  I can give you that which WILL assure victory."

	Yin Yang-chan began, "What are you tal..." but stopped as Belldandy 
began to glow and raised her hands to point at the Trio.

	Her voice was filled with otherworldly power as she intoned, "PAST 
AND FUTURE HAVE GIVEN THEIR AID.  NOW, WITH PRESENT, TO COMPLETE THE 
THREE ELEMENTS OF TIME, LET THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE CHOSEN HEROES 
BE RELEASED... AND MAY DEATH GHIDORA TREMBLE AT THEIR MIGHT.  THE 
FINAL INITIATION!"

	The white light enveloped the Trio once more, but this time, the 
magical powers brought about external changes as well as internal.

	Sayaman felt his aura ignite larger than it had ever done before.  
His blond hair grew, becoming more mangy as it reached his waist and 
fit perfectly with his enlarged forehead.

	Super Saya-jin Level 3.

	Sailor Moon's outfit changed.  First, becoming the dress of Princess 
Serenity.  Then, it changed again, becoming a hybrid of both her 
senshi and Princess clothes.  The Ginzuishou detached from her broach 
and came to rest on top of a staff that materialized from no where.

	Sailor Cosmos.

	Yin Yang became male again.  Excaliber materialized before him and 
as soon as he grasped it, his armor formed over his body.  With the 
mystic blade clenched in his right hand, an energy rush like none he 
had felt before filled his body.

	Yin Yang Knight.

	Sayaman spoke first, "Death Ghidora... For your crimes against 
nature, we will never forgive you!"

	"Death Ghidora... It is our duty to punish you!" Sailor Cosmos added.


	"Death Ghidora... Let's rumble!" Yin Yang Knight exclaimed.

	"TRIO... GO!" all three of them yelled at once as they leaped into 
the sky and flew towards where the battle would take place.

	"All RIGHT!" Chris exclaimed, after picking his jaw up from the 
ground, "I think we've got a chance after all."  He paused and 
frowned at the fighters, "They've been watching WAY too much Power 
Rangers, though."

	Meanwhile, Death Ghidora had gathered enough energy.  A blast of 
orange-red light ignited on his back and, where the wings had once 
been incomplete, they were now fully formed.  The skin of the wings 
were blood red and seemed almost translucent as the monster began to 
flap and took to the sky.

	Death Ghidora only flew for two miles before three flying forms, one 
covered in a golden glow, one covered in a white glow and one covered 
in a blue glow, struck each of his heads and sent him crashing to the 
ground.

	Stunned by the unexpected blows, Death Ghidora turned his heads in 
several directions at once, trying to locate the source of the ones 
foolish enough to attack him.  The left head spotted the Level 3 
Super Saya-jin.  The middle head spotted Sailor Cosmos.  The right 
one spotted Yin Yang Knight.  Moving like the team they were, the 
Trio dived to attack.

	Death Ghidora spat his red lighting balls at Sayaman, who countered, 
and then over whelmed, them with ki blasts that were more powerful 
than any he had unleashed before.  The monster screamed in agony as 
the beams of golden energy struck home all across his body.

	Deciding to concentrate on the female, Death Ghidora unleashed his 
fire at Sailor Cosmos, but was shocked to see it bounce off a 
mystical force shield then countered with a beam of pure white, 
magical energy.  The beam hit Death Ghidora in his central mouth, 
changing the roar of defiance, to one of pain.

	Yin Yang Knight moved in on the third head and slashed at it several 
times with Excaliber.  Surprisingly large cuts formed along the head 
as the blows struck home.

	Death Ghidora stumbled backwards, almost falling over.

	Sayaman gathered energy in between his cupped hands, the shards of 
light escaping the ball traveling the length of a football field.  
"KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he cried as he unleashed the most 
powerful Kame-Hame-Ha wave he had ever performed.

	The blast hit Death Ghidora's entire body and the monster's vision 
began to blur.

	Sailor Cosmos raised the staff with the Ginzuishou on it above her 
head and let the energy gather within it.  Then she aimed it at Death 
Ghidora and cried, "COSMOS CRYSTAL KISS!"

	The formless blast of white energy also struck Death Ghidora's 
entire body and the beast felt his knees become weak.

	Yin Yang Knight placed Excaliber at his side, the tip pointed at 
Death Ghidora and blue energy crackled along the length of the blade. 
 When the energy reached it's apex, Yin Yang Knight cried, "SHINKU... 
MOKO TAKABISHIA!"

	The blue blast seemed almost anticlimactic, as it only hit Death 
Ghidora's chest, but it was enough to knock the creature off it's 
feet and to the ground with an earth rattling crash.

	Still in the air, the Trio let out whoops of excitement, but stopped 
as Death Ghidora struggled to his feet and began to flap his wings 
again, taking to the sky once more.  Energy crackled around Death 
Ghidora's body as he made one final charge at the powered up Trio.

	The Trio began flying forward as well.  Sayaman with his fist 
extended, Sailor Cosmos with her staff held like a jousting lance and 
Yin Yang Knight with Excaliber held in front of him.

	The one with three heads collided with the three who were one.

	It was no contest.

	Death Ghidora fell, striking the earth hard.  His body twitched 
twice, then he fell into the blackness of unconsciousness.

	Carefully landing on the ground, the Trio watched as Chris, now 
dressed in some kind of green armor, with some kind of arm blade 
attached to the right arm, pointed at Death Ghidora and said with a 
voice filled with power, "DEATH GHIDORA.  YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.  
THE CONTEST ENDS.  YOU SHALL RETURN TO THE DARK CHAOS OF NON-
EXISTANCE, UNTIL IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO BE SUMMONED AGAIN."

	Then, the God of Moments grinned and add-libbed, "SO BUGGER OFF."

	Suddenly, and without any preamble, Death Ghidora's body turned into 
an orange-red mist, which soon vanished on the winds.

	As soon as the monster was gone, the power up left the Trio and they 
collapsed to their knees.  They were themselves again, but utterly 
exhausted.  Chris went to their side and said, "Good job!  We'll give 
you a lift home, now.  You don't look like you could make it on your 
own."

	"Home..." Sayaman groaned.

	"Bed..." Yin Yang added.

	"Sleep..." Sailor Moon threw in.

	Sounding like zombies, the three said as one, "Goooood."

	Chris smirked as he looked around and, as Belldandy had promised, 
watched all the damage Death Ghidora had done, become undone.  The 
fires extinguished and the forest became green and lush.  The 
Adirondacks repaired themselves and dominated the landscape once more.
  Looking back at the Trio, who were too tired to notice the grassy 
field they were now collapsed in, he said, "I knew you'd say that."

END OF OSA

NEXT: The Third Season of TRIO begins.  Watch for it.
