Dragon Ball Z Infinity/Intuition (episode)

Season 1, Episode 14
== Plot ==
The episode opens with Piccolo standing between Gohan’s family and the menace that is Vollena.
Piccolo: Run away as far as you can.
Videl wastes no time and jumps out the nearest window with her daughter. Moments before she would hit the ground, Videl flies off with Pan in urgent speed.
Cut back to Piccolo & Vollena.
Vollena: You’re just delaying the inevitable for them.
Piccolo: Not if I have a say in it.
Vollena: Oh yeah?
Vollena cracks his head left & right with a smile.
Vollena: Alright. You’ll make a fine test dummy for my new body.
Vollena gets into a southpaw fighting stance, smile gone.
Vollena: Let’s get on with it.
Vollena rushes at Piccolo and throws a multitude of swings at him. Piccolo dodges all of these and notices an opening for a counterattack. Piccolo knees Vollena in the stomach, then throws him through & out of the house.
Hovering above Satan City, Vollena shrugs off the attack. He sees Piccolo swiftly flying towards him. Vollena readies himself for Piccolo’s follow-up attack. As Piccolo closes the distance, he has another ace up his sleeve. Right before Piccolo throws out his next punch, he disappears.
Vollena: Huh?
Piccolo: Take this!
Vollena gets shot down into an open meadow outside of the city by a surprise energy wave. The resulting explosion is great. Piccolo reappears on the scene. He descends toward the crater left by Vollena’s impact.
Piccolo: Vegeta was right. You’re parasitic scum.
Vollena dusts himself off and picks himself up; only slightly damaged.
Piccolo: Your fighting form is awful, even in the talented body you inhabit.
Vollena clenches his fists, paying no mind to what Piccolo was saying.
Vollena: Join me, green one. Your intellect and fighting power would be of great use to me.
Piccolo: You would try to make me do that whether I wanted it or not.
Vollena: Ah, something we finally agree on. Let’s turn up the heat.
Piccolo and Vollena dart at each other and their fists clash. They fly up and then dish out a barrage of kicks & punches. Neither fighter gave an inch. Piccolo lands a blow on Vollena… but his following spin kick is blocked by Vollena motioning his right forearm.
Vollena: Interesting.
Piccolo becomes mildly concerned at the development. Vollena was learning more about Gohan’s body as he fought Piccolo, being able to pick up some of Gohan’s fighting habits. Instincts.
Vollena: Is that… fear I smell?
Piccolo: Get over yourself. You’re struggling to keep up with me and you’ll have no hope when the others get here.
Vollena briefly makes a thinking pose in an exaggerated manner.
Vollena: I think I disagree. I haven’t gotten serious with you yet. This is still very much a game for me.
Piccolo: Is that right?
Vollena: Yeah, it is actually. I sense multiple great forms within this body. The question is, will you be able to keep up with me?
Vollena taps into Gohan’s Super Saiyan form and uses it as a multiplier for his own power.
Piccolo’s concern quickly turns to worry. In spite of that, he’s ready to continue the battle.
Cut to Goku, Goten, Krillin, & Android 18 flying in the sky. They're shocked after feeling Vollena's power surge.
Goku: Vollena is using Gohan's energy to make himself even stronger!
Goten: Just like he did with me.
Krillin gets a frightening thought.
Krillin: Uh guys, what if he's able to access Gohan's unlocked potential?
A scary thought indeed, no one answers for a few moments. Then…
Goku: We can't let him get to that point. Vollena likes to fool around when he fights and he can be a bit sloppy. Take advantage of that.
They close in on Vollena's ki signature, not too far away now.
Cut back to the open meadows. A Super Saiyan Vollena rushes at Piccolo and throws out a flurry of fists. Piccolo dodges them with much more difficulty. Vollena leaves no space for any openings.
Vollena: I'm just getting warmed up!
The Gemrant further increases the speed of his onslaught. Piccolo is unable to keep up, and he eventually starts getting beat around the chest and in the face. Vollena finishes by kicking Piccolo across the meadow, making him tumble along the grassy terrain.
Piccolo lays on the ground while Vollena walks toward him.
Vollena: Looks like you couldn't keep up after all.
Now standing inches away, Vollena falls and drops an elbow square on Piccolo's chest; making him yell out in agony.
He does it again, this time harder. Piccolo coughs out blood.
Vollena then makes a Ki-construct of a sword. He looks to implant its blade straight into Piccolo's head.
Vollena: It's time to put you and this planet to better use.
Goku suddenly dropkicks Vollena away from Piccolo. He then transforms into Super Saiyan. Goten, Krillin, and Android 18 fly down alongside him. Goten also transforms into Super Saiyan.
Vollena: Wow.
Vollena jumps right back up from Goku's attack.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scene changes to a darkened room within a hexagonal geodesic dome. A large ray of light beams down on a machine with many arms holding the individual parts of the Infinity Sword. Hundreds of feet away, the light shines on a protected window where a dozen Yardrat scientists watch as the machine puts the Infinity Sword together. Dr. Prehx stands at the center, arms behind his back and face gripped with dual emotions of excitement & dread. Ramon is strangely absent from such a momentous event.
Cut to one of the lab’s restrooms. Looking inside, we see Ramon looking at himself in the mirror, hands on the sink. He takes a few deep breaths to recollect himself.
Ramon: This is finally it. My life’s work coming to a head.
He chuckles to himself.
Ramon: Likelihood of combustion is 32.6%. The blast would cover a surface area of approximately…
Ramon takes another deep breath.
Ramon: ...280 million square miles. We could all die from just putting this thing together.
Ramon looks at his reflection.
Ramon: All those deaths would be on me. But consider the alternative. Vollena could win and he would enslave Goku's world. Who's to say he'll stop there? He could go on to enslave many others, including my own. 
Ramon nods at his reflection and gives a half-smile.
Ramon: I'd much rather die quickly by a cosmic-level event than slowly at the hands of a malevolent entity.
Ramon leaves the restroom, still scared to the bone. But he works up the courage to join his fellows and be with them in death or life. Either way, the greatest event in Yardrat history was about to commence.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scene changes back to the open meadow. Piccolo musters up the strength to get up, but limps.
Piccolo: Thanks for the assist.
Goku: Thanks for keeping Pan & Videl safe. We’ll take it from here.
Vollena becomes intrigued as he gets closer to his adversaries.
Vollena: This planet houses some very strong rabble rousers. Even more impressive that they’re all mortals.
Goku: You can still drop Gohan’s body and leave if that’s a problem for you.
Vollena: Oh, no issues here. Just making an observation.
Goku rushes at Vollena and lands a punch right in the kisser. Vollena slides back along the grass.
Krillin: You may want to rethink that, buddy.
Vollena shakes off the attack, then smirks. He rushes back at Goku and throws out two punches at lightning speed. Goku blocks the first, but takes a direct hit from the second in the chest; getting launched back a couple hundred feet.
Goten quickly runs up to his possessed brother. Vollena throws out a swing but misses as Goten does a slide kick against one of his legs, knocking him off balance. Goten gives him a hard fist towards Krillin. 
Krillin kicks Vollena high into the air and Android 18 immediately flies up to follow his ascent. 
Krillin: Throw him back down!
Goku gets up and realizes the setup. He charges an energy wave. In the air, Android 18 grabs Vollena and throws him back down to the ground.
Goku: Ha!
Goku times the release of his energy wave just right to connect with Vollena’s downfall. The Gemrant is engulfed in the explosion and howled in pain.
Goku catches up with the others as they look at the ash cloud. Vollena flies out of it and heads skyward. Goku, Goten, Krillin, and 18 follow suit. Vollena looks back and sees the fighters closing in on him. He points his index & middle finger up, readying his Super Furious Celestial Slash. He then launches it backward at the fighters.
Goku: Woah!
Krillin: Oh shoot!
The four of them narrowly escape the SFCS which slices through a couple trees and leaves a large impact on the meadow. In the process, Vollena appears behind Krillin and grabs hold of him in a lock. He then dives toward the ground with Krillin at lethal velocity, headfirst. While they spin around as Krillin tries to break free, it doesn't change their trajectory.
Android 18: Krillin!
Android 18 flies down and tries to catch up with them. Moments before they crash, 18 manages to headbutt Vollena away. Krillin’s crash landing was still very painful, but wasn’t fatal. Krillin lays out on the ground, completely dazed.
Android 18: Come on, Krillin. You have to get up.
Vollena already goes on the rebound to attack 18, but Goku & Goten swoop down and kick him away.
Vollena rockets through a nearby boulder before re-adjusting himself. He's now about a thousand feet away from the rest of the fighters. The Gemrant stands up and crosses his arms. 
Piccolo limps by Goku & Goten.
Goten: What's he doing? He's just standing there.
Piccolo: I don't know, but this fight is about to get much uglier.
As Krillin wakes up from his short bout of unconsciousness, the ground begins to tremble.
Krillin: What's happening?
Android 18: Nothing good.
Vollena begins to yell out as a yellow aura surrounds him. Electric sparks shine around him as he taps into Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 form. The transformation incurs a sizable earthquake. Patches of the ground elevate into small hills.
Krillin & Android 18 run up to Goku, Goten, & Piccolo.
Krillin: Aw man. I think he might be too far above my pay grade now.
Piccolo: You still have a couple equalizers up your sleeve, Krillin. So do I.
Even with his limp, Piccolo yells and powers up. Krillin follows his tune and does the same. Then Android 18. Goku and Goten look at each other and nod with a smile.
Goku: Let's show him what we go-
Goten: DAD!
Super Saiyan 2 Vollena suddenly rushes forward and shoulder bashes Goku against his upper body. Goku's pupils briefly disappear. The Saiyan careens against the ground, then lies there face down.
Piccolo, Krillin, Goten, and 18 are absolutely stunned.
Vollena: That's for the sucker kick you gave to me earlier.
Vollena turns to the rest of his adversaries. He claps his hands once.
Vollena: Alright! So who wants to bite the dust next? I believe I was trying to make you do it [Points to Krillin.] before Blondie interrupted.
Piccolo takes a swing, but Vollena dodges it like it was nothing.
Vollena: Since my fighting form is "awful", you should have no problem dodging this.
In a split-second, Vollena hits Piccolo in the gut, instantly knocking him out.
Vollena: All talk like I suspected. Like I said, you'll be of great use to me so I won't kill you. You three on the other hand…
Krillin goes for a right hook while Android 18 a roundhouse kick. Vollena catches Krillin's hook with his left hand while blocking 18's kick with his right forearm.
Vollena then violently hits them both into the air. He then flies up, grabs them together, and then slams them back to the ground. The impact creates a grand explosion that leaves both fighters gravely injured. As the dust clears, Vollena looks down on a fallen Krillin & 18.
Vollena: I still have to deal with the kid before I can kill these undesirables off.
Vollena looks back at Goten, finding him in a rage. Goten's aura glows brighter than it ever had before.
Goten darts from his position and smashes Vollena's face with a Flaming Fist. The episode suddenly cuts to black and ends.
