EPISODE 24

“There is one thing, elder,” Kabito Kai said, staring into the crystal ball “Caboge’s necklace, isn’t it-“
“Ah, the necklace of the Saiya-Jin,” Elder Kai interrupted, “If Caboge was wearing it when he was absorbed, it may have acted as a shield to protect him from being digested. Those necklaces have immense power you know. Of course, the majority of them are in our possession now, or have been destroyed completely. Caboge may have the one only one still in Saiyan possession. If we can use it to our advantage…”
“Hold on a second, old man,” interrupted Vegeta, “just what the hell are you talking about?”
“Oh, pardon me, I suppose you’re too young to have heard. Well, long ago the Saiyans were the most powerful beings in the universe and rivals of the second most powerful- the Kais. The two races formed a bitter rivalry, each vying for ultimate power. The Saiyans used to be like gods and they used their incredible power to conquer galaxies. The Kai, who used their power for good, made it their business to put an end to the Saiyan’s tyranny. They created such necklaces to suppress the Saiyan’s power. Eventually, the Saiyans got used to their new powered-down forms and, in essence, devolved. The aptly named Legendary Super Saiyan Broly was the last of his kind. His blood still contained the untapped power of the Saiyans of old. As a result, he was given the necklace as a gift when he was a child. The only problem is that he too had re-evolved, as you and your friends have done, when he discovered the Super Saiyan form. What is left of the Saiyans has slowly re-evolved to unlock their untapped power that lay dormant for eons with the Super Saiyan forms. It is said that once level six is reached, the Saiyan will achieve the godlike state of legend. It’s lucky that Broly never had the notion to remove his necklace or we would have all be in serious trouble! It appears he passed it down to his son, however. That necklace contains the concentrated power of Broly himself. What we don’t know is if this power was carried on by Caboge or not. As far as we know, he’s worn that necklace for his entire life.”
“Wow. OK. Way to tell us this life-altering information now!” Vegeta grumbled
“No way,” Said Goku, “I had no idea the Saiyans were that powerful.”
“We can only hope that Caboge realizes this before it is too late.” Elder Kai replied.

While the fight raged on outside, deep inside Rebuu something stirred. Caboge regained consciousness and took a look around. All he saw were bulbous pink sacks pulsating and a sticky, fleshy interior everywhere he looked. Next to him were cocoons containing all of his friends. Why hadn’t he been absorbed as well? Caboge noticed a pulsating blue light reflecting off the fleshy wall and it took him a moment to realize the light was emanating from his necklace. The necklace had saved him? Caboge never thought of the thing as having anything but sentimental value, let alone any kind of power. Nevertheless, he vowed to rescue his friends and seek revenge on Rebuu for insulting his father.

Meanwhile, the battle between Rebuu and Majuub raged on. Rebuu had once again created Trunk’s sword from his flesh and Majuub had created a sword out of pure energy- a testament to his great power. As the two swords clashed, lightning cracked in the sky and a heavy rain began to fall. The two swords clanked together as the two warriors adeptly fought. Rebuu’s sword singed Majuub’s hair just as he ducked and countered by attempting to stab Rebuu in the gut. Rebuu quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Majuub and slashed at his head. Majuub raised his sword to block and the two swords locked in a stalemate.
“I’m impressed,” Rebuu exclaimed, “I didn’t expect your human form to be so powerful.”
“Well, I did learn from the best,” Majuub replied a sword formed in his other hand. The three swords clashed with increasing power. Majuub thrust his swords into Rebuu’s shoulders as Rebuu thrust his own sword at Majuub’s chest. It shattered on Majuub’s energy barrier. Majuub let down the barrier and his swords dissipated. The two warriors slowly descended to the earth, starting each other down, as the rain dripped off their faces. In a burst of power, Rebuu shot towards Majuub raised his fist and was about to strike when he stopped inches from Majuub’s face. His pores opened and steam spewed out, he had a pained look upon his face.
“What’s the matter? Getting tired?” Majuub taunted as Rebuu doubled over in pain.
“Something- something is not…. right…” Rebuu whispered under his breath as he caught Majuub’s fist. Majuub sensed a drop in his power and went in for the kill. After a few punches to the face, he kicked Rebuu into the nearest building and followed up with a few energy blasts and a Kamehameha. The dust cleared and Rebuu lay in a heap, struggling to reform himself.
“What- what’s going on? My bod- body…” he coughed. He barely had time to recover before Majuub hit him with another blast.

Is Rebuu finally done for? Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Unlimited.
