第5章 大结局5（2 / 2）

"Ah, shit," Gohan hissed. Hearing Cooler's rougher, more mase voi person for the first time sent a chill down his spine.

"啊，该死，"悟饭嘶声道。第一次亲自听到库拉粗糙而更有男子气概的声音让他背脊发冷。

"Damn, he's probably already killed plenty of these guys already then," Goku growled, digging his fingers into the grass. "No way we let that happen."

"该死，他可能已经杀死了很多这些家伙了，"悟空咆哮着，将手指插入草地中。“绝对不能让这种事发生。”

"I know," Gohan replied. Even if they could be wished back, Gohan didn't want anybody to feel the trauma of death. "The moment they attack, we'll catch them slipping."

“我知道，”悟饭回答道。即使他们可以被复活，悟饭也不想让任何人经历死亡的创伤。“一旦他们发动攻击，我们就会抓住他们的破绽。”

"Gotcha. We'll know when it gets out of hand."

"明白了。一旦情况失控我们就会知道的。"

An older, portly Namekian in a red vest stepped in front, while two Namekian children eared close to Gohan's age shuddered nervously behind him. "I don't know anything about this Dragon Ball business. Please leave."

一个年长的、肥胖的纳美克人穿着红色马甲走到前面，而两个看起来和悟饭年纪相仿的纳美克人孩子战战兢兢地站在他身后。“我对这个龙珠的事一无所知。请离开。”

Cooler merely chuckled at the elder's words. "Just like the other elders, then. They all said the same thing, pleading ignorance. You keep up the charade, you'll end up in the pile of corpses with the rest of them."

库拉只是对长老的话轻笑。“就像其他长老一样。他们都说了同样的话，请求无知。你继续保持这种假象，你最终会和其他人一起躺在尸体堆里。”

The Namekians were left aghast, standing frozen in fear. The elder nearly fell over in horror. "No…you wouldn't!"

纳美克人惊恐万分，吓得站在原地一动不动。长老几乎被吓得摔倒。“不……你不会这么做！”

"Dammit, it really is true," Goku said.

“该死，这真的是真的，”悟空说道。

A smirk spread across Cooler's purple lips, every bit as sadistic as his brother's. "I wouldn't? You must not have heard of me, old man. I'm known across the universe for many things, most of all the plete annihition I've brought to every p I've crossed paths with."

库拉的紫色嘴唇上浮现出一丝冷笑，与他兄弟的表情一样邪恶。“我不会？你肯定没听说过我，老家伙。我在整个宇宙都以许多事情闻名，尤其是我在与每个星球交汇处带来的彻底毁灭。”

Cooler took a grand step forward, alerting not just the Namekians, but the two Saiyans covertly them.

库拉大步向前迈去，不仅引起了纳美克人的警觉，还引起了暗中观察他们的两个赛亚人的警觉。

"But you know what I'm not known for? Patience. I don't want to hear any bullshit about tests of valor or character."

"但你知道我不以什么闻名吗？耐心。我不想听到任何关于勇气或品德考验的胡扯。"

Cly folded his arms while his smirk spread. "In fact, if you choose to be the first oo not make this difficult, I'll even spare you and your vilge. Do please spread the word to the remaining ones, will you?"

库拉嘲笑地双臂交叉，冷笑扩散开来。“事实上，如果你选择成为第一个不让事情变得困难的人，我甚至会放过你和你的村庄。请把这个消息传给剩下的人，好吗？"

"Why should I believe you?!" the elder sneered. "You are a shameless murderer - your word means nothing!"

"我为什么要相信你？！"老长老嘲笑着说道。“你是一个无耻的杀人犯——你的话毫无意义！"

King Cold chuckled like he had merely heard a clever joke. "Well, he has you there, son!"

寇酷王笑了起来，就像他只是听到一个聪明的笑话一样。“嗯，他说得没错，孩子！"

With a proud chuckle, Cooler closed his eyes and lowered his arms. "I never was as good of a liar as my te brother, was I?"

库拉得意地笑着，闭上了眼睛，放下了双臂。“我从来没有像我已故的兄弟那样善于说谎，对吧？"

He opened his eyes back up, aiming his blood-red pupils at every st Namekian.

他再次睁开眼睛，将血红色的瞳孔对准每一个纳美克人。

"You're right. I was going to kill you all even if you talked."

"你说得对。即使你们开口说话，我也会杀死你们所有人。"

Before the elder tyrant even had a ce to react, five younger Namekians lu him with the same iions. Of all the Namekians, they resembled Piccolo the most. Before they could get even an in the air, and befoku and Gohan could move, a pair of beams from Cooler's eyes ied them all aheir charred bodies in a pile right besides the Dragon Balls they had tried to protect.

在老长老恶霸甚至来得及反应之前，五个年轻的纳美克人冲向他，意图相同。在所有纳美克人中，他们最像皮克洛。在他们甚至能飞起一英寸之前，在悟空和悟饭还没来得及动之前，库拉的双眼发出的两束光束将他们全部焚烧，将他们焦黑的尸体堆在了他们试图保护的龙珠旁边。

After a ptuous gre towards the green scrap heap, Cooler redirected his sights to the elder – specifically, the two boys c behind his legs.

在对绿色废墟投以蔑视的一瞥之后，库拉将目光转向了长老——准确地说，是躲在他腿后的两个男孩。

"Have I mentioned I'm great with kids?"

“我有提过我很擅长与孩子相处吗？”

That was enough.

这就足够了。

With nard for whatever errati he had, Gohan stormed down from the cliff and delivered a crushing knee right to Cooler's skull that khe scht off his ear. Goku flew right down with him, standing behind Gohan with his back turo ward off any sneak attacks. Cooler's soldiers surrouhe father & son duo and lu them, but a simple pair of Kiai shouts sent all of them skyward.

悟饭毫不顾及他的任何乱七八糟的计划，从悬崖上冲下来，用强大的膝盖直接击中库拉的头骨，将侦察仪打落他的耳朵。悟空紧随其后，站在悟饭身后，背对着他，防止任何偷袭。库拉的士兵们包围了父子二人，并向他们扑去，但简单的两声气功喊声将他们全部击飞。

Cooler unleashed a string of angry curses as he got up and vaporized the one soldier who possessed the misfortune of flying towards him. Once he got up and took a closer look, his temper cooled.

库拉在站起来的时候爆发出一连串愤怒的咒骂，他将那个不幸朝他飞来的士兵蒸发掉。一旦他站起来并仔细观察，他的脾气就冷静了下来。

"Ah, well if it isn't the match that lit the fme. Little Son Gohan," he beamed. "And you – you look just like the man I saw on the proje who opposed Frieza's destru of your home p. Now I see; you must be Gohan's father. The ship I let escape."

“啊，好吧，这不是点燃了火焰的火柴吗？小孙悟饭，”他笑容满面。“而你——你看起来就像我在投影上看到的那个反对弗里萨摧毁你的家园的男人。现在我明白了，你一定是悟饭的父亲。那艘逃走的飞船。”

Cooler swung his head bad cackled into the green skies, motioning towards his Armored Squadron. "How fitting is this, boys?! You three were there when it happened; you remember what I said, right?"

库拉扭头向后，对着绿色的天空狂笑，示意他的装甲小队。“这多么合适，伙计们！你们三个都在场；你们还记得我说过什么吗？”

"I believe you said that ship was Frieza's mess, now," Salza said from his thick at.

“我记得你说过那艘飞船是弗里萨弄出来的麻烦，现在是吗？”萨尔扎带着浓重的口音说道。

"And sure enough, it resulted in his end. A great tragedy indeed," he obit with callous indifference for his brother.

“果然，这导致了他的灭亡。的确是一场巨大的悲剧，”他冷漠地追悼着他的兄弟。

"Ugh, it's just so heartbreaking," King Cold added with a whimper betrayed by his blithe grin while he oku. "You rete, right, e fellow? You try to instill your son with values, and responsibility, only for them to blow you off, left to learn their lesson only when it's too te. As, negligence was his Achille's heel."

“呃，这太令人心碎了。”寇酷王低声抱怨着，但他的轻松笑容背叛了他的哀号，同时他朝着悟空点了点头。“你能理解吧，橙色家伙？你试图灌输你儿子价值观和责任感，结果他们却把你拒之门外，只有在太迟时才能吸取教训。唉，疏忽成了他的致命伤。”

"Enough of this," Gohan snapped, peeved by Cold's theatrics that he had clearly passed down to his son. "Why are you after the Dragon Balls?!"

“够了！”悟饭怒斥道，对寇酷王明显传给他儿子的戏剧化行为感到恼火。“你为什么追逐龙珠？！”

"I heard Ginyu mention them and decided to look into it myself," Cooler replied, firming Goku and Gohan's suspi. "After I learned of Frieza's defeat, I wasn't going to take my ces. I came here to bestow myself with immortality before I arrived to Earth and crushed you. But I see you've expedited your fate."

“我听到吉尼说起过它们，于是决定自己来调查一下，”库拉回答道，证实了悟空和悟饭的猜想。“在得知弗里萨被击败之后，我不打算冒险。我来这里赐予自己永生，然后到达地球，将你们碾压。但我看到你们已经加快了自己的命运。”

Gohan's fideugged against the ers of his lips. "If you know I've defeated Frieza, then you must know I've bee a Super Saiyan!"

悟饭的自信牵动着他嘴角的肌肉。“如果你知道我已经击败了弗里萨，那么你肯定知道我已经成为了超级赛亚人！”

What Gohan expected was for Cooler to project that same look of despair as Frieza – agape mouth, enged eyes, and a shivering body. Instead, Cooler maintained his smirk, raised his hands…and cpped? Even King Cold, who had expressed some trepidation, eyed his son curiously as his appuse rolled on.

悟饭预料到库拉会像弗里萨那样表现出绝望的表情——张大嘴巴、凸出的眼睛和颤抖的身体。然而，库拉保持着冷笑，举起双手……鼓掌？甚至连曾经表现出一些不安的寇酷王也好奇地注视着儿子，随着掌声持续响起。

"gratutions, Son Gohan," Cooler said, tinuing to cp as he marched towards his father. Both Gohan and Goku stood stiff, weary of his cryptis. "A most impressive feat indeed. You fulfilled the tall tale, ainguished our 's most infamous member."

“恭喜你，孙悟饭，”库拉说着，继续鼓掌向他的父亲走去。悟饭和悟空都站得笔直，对他神秘的计划心存戒备。“确实是一项非常令人印象深刻的成就。你实现了那个传奇故事，并消灭了我们族中最臭名昭著的成员。”

"But Super Saiyan or not, our bined forces take you," King Cold added.

“不管是超级赛亚人还是普通人，我们的联合力量可以击败你，”寇酷王补充道。

Cooler side-eyed his father. "bined?"

库拉斜眼看着他的父亲。“联合？”

And then, he grabbed one of King Cold's horns with one hand, created a bde of Ki around the other, and sliced his head from his shoulders.

然后，他一只手抓住寇酷王的一只角，另一只手周围形成一道气刃，将他的头从肩膀上干净地切割下来。

Not a single person standing in the vilge – not the Namekians, not the two Saiyans, aainly not the soldiers – taiheir shock. The massive body of King Cold sunk into the blue bdes of grass, while its blood-spewing head hung in the hand of his cag son.

站在村子里的任何一个人——不管是纳美克人，还是两个赛亚人，当然也包括士兵们——都无法掩饰他们的震惊。寇酷王庞大的身体沉入蓝色的草丛中，而喷血的头颅则悬挂在他儿子手中发出狂笑。

"What the fuck?!" Gohan screamed.

“他妈的？！”悟饭尖叫道。

"Surprised?" Cooler asked, marveling at his work. "Well, Son Gohan, I'll have you know I was the only one who believed in you – and you've given me what I've always wanted."

“感到惊讶了吗？”库拉问道，对他的作品感到惊奇。“嗯，孙悟饭，我要告诉你，我是唯一相信你的人——而你给了我我一直想要的东西。”

Even while trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his brain, Gohached at such a twisted notion. His suspi about Cooler's allegiances had been right all along.

尽管试图拾起他破碎的大脑，悟饭对这种扭曲的想法感到恶心。他对库拉的忠诚的怀疑一直是正确的。

Like it was a mere basketball and not the source of the egg he hatched from, Cooler chucked his father's head at Sauzer. His blue subordinate fumbled it in both hands a few times while restraining a rush of vomit in his cheeks.

就像是一个普通的篮球，而不是他孵化出来的蛋的来源，库拉将他父亲的头扔向索扎。他的蓝色部下在用双手接住的时候摸了几次，同时抑制住嘴角涌出的呕吐感。

"Salza!" Cooler called. "Put that in the fgship and hang it on my mantle."

“萨尔扎！”库拉叫道。“把那个放在旗舰上，挂在我的壁炉上。”

"Y-Yes sir," Salza replied with a gag. Whilst clutg his stomach, he flew away.

“是，先生，”萨尔扎咽了口唾沫答道。他一边抱着肚子，一边飞走了。

"Um…ya kinda lost me…" Goku stammered.

“嗯……你有点把我弄糊涂了……”悟空结结巴巴地说道。

Gohan watched Salza's flight before twisting his head back towards Cooler with no genuine idea of what awaited. All bets were off. Despite the bold murder that left he and Goku with one less oppoo worry about, Gohan couldn't help the ominous rumbling in his stomach.

悟饭注视着萨尔扎飞走，然后将头扭回库拉，对即将发生的事情一无所知。所有的赌注都取消了。尽管胆大妄为的谋杀让他和悟空少了一个需要担心的对手，但悟饭无法控制自己肚子里那种不祥的隐隐作痛感。

"What's there to misuand?" Cooler mischievously asked. "I've wanted my sissy little brat of a brother dead for decades now. Killing my father was a bit gratuitous I'll admit, but his guard was down and I don't like people breathing down my neck."

“有什么可误解的？”库拉调皮地问道。“几十年来，我一直希望我的胆小娘们弟弟死掉。我承认杀了我父亲有点多余，但他没有警惕心，而且我不喜欢别人在我身后窥视。”

"W-What are you talking about?" Gohan asked.

“你在说什么？”悟饭问道。

"For all his undry list of fws, Frieza was remarkably intelligent. He would never let me lure him into a situation where I could take him one-on-one in a fair fight. Getting rid of him meant I'd have to force my father to make the tough decision," Cooler's expression was almost nostalgid wistful as he recalled past memories. "You remember Kab, right?"

“尽管他有一长串的缺点，弗里萨非常聪明。他永远不会让我诱使他进入一个公平的一对一战斗的局面。除掉他意味着我必须迫使我父亲做出艰难的决定，”库拉回忆起过去的记忆时，他的表情几乎带有怀旧和留恋。“你还记得卡布尼特，对吗？”

Gohan's jaw fell at lightning speed. "What?! How…?! That doesn't make sense!"

悟饭的下巴迅速地垂了下来。“什么？！怎么可能……？！这没有道理！”

"I don't bme you for thinking so – he would have said the same thing, had he actually known I was aiding him in the shadows. Pee – his stist, the brains behind his operation. He was a secret gift from yours truly."

“我不怪你这么想——如果他真的知道我在暗中帮助他，他也会说同样的话。佩康——他的科学家，他行动背后的智囊。他是我亲自送给他的秘密礼物。”

While Gohan had no idea who he had been referring to, the name rang a bell – "Pee put him in touch with Boysen, and the rest was history."

虽然悟饭不知道他指的是谁，但下一个名字让他有所耳闻——“佩康将他与博伊森联系起来，其他的就成为历史了。”

Boysen. The traitor who had sent Gohaa, and Nappa into a deathtrap o Linden. Where Gohan had beehts until a girl with eyes as blue as the ice that had killed her arrived.

博伊森。这个背叛者把悟饭、贝吉塔和纳帕送入了在林登星上的死亡陷阱。在那里，悟饭本来已经死定了，直到一个眼睛像杀死她的冰一样蓝的女孩出现。

"My pn was rather simple. Once I learned of Kab's operation, I was going to let his little empire grow into a problem. Have Pee lure a few more of Frieza's higher rankio his side until father grew sick of his negligend for all. But then you came and blew it all up, didn't you?"

“我的计划非常简单。一旦我了解到卡布尼特的行动，我就打算让他的小帝国变成一个问题。让佩康将更多的弗里萨高级部下引诱到他的一方，直到父亲终于对他的疏忽感到厌倦。但然后你出现了，把一切都毁了，对吧？”

Gohan idly nodded.

悟饭漫不经心地点了点头。

Much like his brother would, Cooler poshly chuckled. "Don't worry, I have no hard feelings. You opened my eyes, actually. To see Frieza's end by a hand besides my own, I'd have to i in the Saiyans' strength. He always did fear you apes. Why else do you think I had my men supervise those training camps?"

库拉高贵地笑了起来，就像他的兄弟一样。“别担心，我没有任何怨恨。事实上，你让我看清了。要想看到弗里萨的结局不是出自我的手，我必须投资于赛亚人的力量。他一直害怕你们这些猿类。不然你觉得我为什么让我的手下监督那些训练营？”

Gohan simply blinked.

Every detail of Cooler's story both surprised him and aligned ly in his mind.

悟饭只是眨了眨眼睛。库拉的故事中的每个细节都让他感到惊讶，但又在他的脑海中清晰地契合在一起。

"I was the one who advised Frieza to promote you to an officer ranking. And when that fell apart, I was the one who called Frieza off-world and gave Vegeta the green light to kill Zarbon."

“当你升为军官级别时，是我建议弗里萨这么做的。当一切破灭时，是我叫弗里萨离开地球，让贝吉塔获得了杀死扎波恩的机会。”

While Gohan had known about the tter i, the former reveal left him short of breath.

虽然悟饭已经知道后一件事情，但前一件事的揭示让他喘不过气来。

"A year aer, and you pulled it off. All because of me."

“一年多一点时间过去了，而你成功了。都是因为我。”

Letting the surprise of the reveal roll off his back, Gohan snickered with disgust while squaring his shoulders for battle. "Well, if you're expeg a 'thank you' from me, I'm afraid I'll have to leave you hanging."

让揭示带来的惊讶从他身上滑落，悟饭嗤笑着表达厌恶之情，同时挺直肩膀准备战斗。“嗯，如果你期待我对你表示感谢，恐怕我要让你失望了。”

"Oh, but I expected as much," Cooler replied. "You Saiyans were always rude and disorderly. You'll be repaying me soon enough anyway. Now that you're a Super Saiyan, you're the perfect fuel for my most ambitious project yet, whether you want to be or not. So why don't y this power out and give me a demonstration?"

“哦，我早有预料，”库拉回答道。“你赛亚人总是粗鲁和无秩序的。不过你迟早会偿还给我。现在你成为了超级赛亚人，你是我迄今为止最雄心勃勃计划的完美燃料，不管你愿意与否。那么，为什么不发挥这种力量给我一次示范呢？”

"Famous st words," Gohan said as a gust of wind swirled around him.

"声名狼藉的遗言，"悟饭说着，身边的风旋转起来。

" you pull it off?" Goku asked, remembering their struggles in the spaceship.

"你能做到吗？"悟空问道，回想起他们在飞船上的困难。

"Don't worry," Gohan replied with a voice full of vigor. "I think I figured it out yesterday. I just had to remember otle thing."

"别担心，"悟饭满怀活力地回答道。"我昨天想明白了。只是要记住一件小事情而已。"

The ground rumbled beh Gohan's feet. His fingers ched into tight fists.

悟饭脚下的大地隆隆作响。他的手指握成了紧紧的拳头。

"I'm always angry."

"我总是愤怒的。"

A primal scream ter, a golden fme swept across Gohan's body, igniting his hair into a matg brilliant shade and flickering his bck eyes to teal. The sheer magnitude of his power forced Goku and the Namekians to retreat into the sky. Cooler stood befohan's Super Saiyan transformation not in fear, but awe.

狂野的吼声之后，一团金色的火焰席卷悟饭的身体，将他的头发点燃成相匹配的明亮色调，他的黑眼睛闪烁着蓝绿色。他那庞大的力量让悟空和那美克星人不得不退到天空之中。库拉面对悟饭的超级赛亚人变身，不是恐惧，而是敬畏。

"I see…" Cooler marveled. "The Big Gete Star will feast."

"我明白了……"库拉赞叹道。"大给予之星将会享用。"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Gohan asked.

“你在说什么鬼东西？”悟饭问道。

"You'll find out soon enough, little Saiyan. You see, you may have been able to defeat my brother, but there's a big differeween he and I."

“你很快就会知道，小赛亚人。你看，你也许能够打败我的兄弟，但他和我之间有一个很大的区别。”

"Like what?" Gohan scoffed. "Your brand of lipstick?"

“比如什么？”悟饭嘲笑道。“你的口红品牌？”

Cooler smirked, ign his quip and raising his index finger. "Oime more. I transform oime more than Frieza. He's a little bit strohan I am in our natural forms, but I figured out how to push my strength even higher with a ransformation!"

库拉冷笑着，无视他的嘲弄，抬起食指。“再多一次。我可以变身的次数比弗里萨多一次。在我们的原始形态中，他比我稍微强一点，但我找到了如何通过一种新的变身将我的力量提升到更高的程度！”

"Well let's see it!" Gohan yelled, thrilled at the prospect of a challenge.

“好吧，让我们看看！”悟饭大声喊道，对面临挑战的前景感到兴奋。

Wasting no time, his metamorphosis. Wind exploded around his feet while his body nearly doubled in bulk. Spikes grew from the shells around his head and wrists while the red of his pupils overtook his entire eyes. His body had bee a far cry from the sleek, demure aristocrats Gohan had bee aced to; now, he resembled a mae effitly designed fhter.

不浪费任何时间，库拉开始变身。风在他的脚周围爆炸，他的身体几乎翻倍增大。他的头和手腕周围的甲壳上长出了尖刺，而他的瞳孔的红色占据了他整个眼睛。他的身体与悟饭习惯的光滑、温文尔雅的贵族相去甚远；现在，他更像是一个专为屠戮而高效设计的机器。
