Chapter 4
A Great Encounter
Tajek, Pan, Goku, and Vegeta were all inside Tajek's house. It had only been merely 20 minutes since Kasargon had gone away and Tajek was now tending to his minor wounds. "I don't want any help," Tajek explained after he was done wrapping his right arm with tape-like cloth.
"Well that's just too bad," Pan argued. "I have an idea that will work. What if we were to find the Dragon Balls, and wish myself younger, then maybe we'll stand a fighting chance."
"Well if you want to be young, I know where the Dragon Balls are, but you're still not helping me win this." Tajek stood up. "I mean it, if you try to help me fight Kasargon, I will only direct my attacks toward you guys until you leave."
"I still don't see why you won't let us help," Pan said stubbornly. "With help, you can easily destroy Kasargon, and then we can go save your planet."
"It's too late for that. My planet is done for, no matter what anyone tries to do."
"Well it doesn't hurt to try, now does it?"
Tajek remained silent for a few seconds. "Fine, you win. I'll let you guys help me; just don't get in my way. Follow me, I'll show you to the dragon balls." Pan smiled; glad to of convinced Tajek to change his mind. Tajek left the building, followed by Pan, Goku, and Vegeta. After stepping outside, Tajek looked around using his Saiyan sense to see if it was clear. "Stay close, but not too close." The others nodded. "Let's go." Tajek ascended into the air and the others simply followed. None of them stopped until they were high above the clouds. Tajek looked around using his Saiyan sense one more time before going northwest at an average flying pace. Pan flew about 10 feet behind Tajek, and Goku flew 10 feet to the left of them in the center, and Vegeta 10 feet to the right of them in the center.
'Where could he be taking us?' Pan wondering, not wanting to question the boy. They flew for more than 3 minutes and it seemed like they weren't making any progress. Tajek suddenly stopped and the other three saiyans immediately stopped as well. "We're here?" Pan asked curiously.
"No," Tajek answered silently. Out of nowhere, a humanoid figure appeared from beneath the clouds, and knocked Tajek farther into the sky. Behind Tajek, a second figure appeared out of nowhere and attempted to knock Tajek into the opposite direction he was already going, but Tajek had already known he'd be there and did a roundhouse kick to the second man's head, knocking him far away, but he easily regained balance. The two figures levitated on opposite sides of Tajek, both eye level to him, but also far apart.
The first man stood 6'8" and was fairly thin. His hair and eyes were both red. "How is it that you weren't able to block my attack, but you simply counter-attacked his?" The man was referring to his partner.
Tajek stood in the air with no sign of fear or any sign of the fact he had just been attacked. "Simple," he spoke with a dark voice. "I already knew the both of you were going to attack me, and I knew exactly where you two were going to be, so instead of just dodging everything completely, I used the force of speed you had given me from your attack, and just used all my strength to attack him." Tajek pointed to the other man who also stood 6'8" and was just as thin as the first man. His hair and eyes were both orange. "Now who are the two of you?"
As Tajek stared at the first man, the second man disappeared and reappeared right beside the first man, and they both cracked a wicked smile. The man with red hair and eyes, who was to the left of the man with orange hair and eyes, spoke first. "I am Zendo, an Elite-Class Saiyan."
The man with orange hair and eyes spoke next. "And I am Bakiar, also an Elite-Class Saiyan."
Now the two of them spoke simultaneously. "Together, we are invincible!"
"Really," Tajek spoke with a sense of carelessness in his voice. "This might be fun." Without taking his eyes of the two Elite-Saiyans, Tajek said to Pan, Goku, and Vegeta, "You three, only join in if I say so." The three saiyans nodded in response.
Zendo and Bakiar both got into fighting stances and said together, "Let's go!"
The two Elite-Saiyans dashed together towards the young boy. About half way to Tajek, Zendo shot to the left at an arched angle, and Bakiar shot to the right in an arched angle. Tajek remained staring forward, looking at neither of his opponents. The two Elite-Saiyans drew nearer. Tajek spun in a complete counterclockwise motion, backhanding Bakiar in the face with his left fist, and kicking Zendo in head with his right foot. Both saiyans tumbled backwards in the air, but quickly caught themselves and rushed at Tajek again. 'That's it,' Tajek thought. 'Me being in the exact middle of two fighters puts me at a place of disadvantage, that's their strategy!' Tajek dashed toward Zendo. Zendo had not expected this, and therefore did not have time to block his face from Tajek's fist.
"Gah!" Yelled Zendo in anger as he caught himself in midair. "You brat!" He watched as Tajek dashed away from him and toward Bakiar, who was ready for Tajek. Tajek directed a kick with his right leg to Bakiar's torso, though he was unsuccessful as Bakiar used his left shin to block the attack, and followed up by swinging his left fist at Tajek's head. Tajek caught the fist with his right hand and smirked. Bakiar tried to free his fist from Tajek's grip, but Tajek held on tightly, and then charged a ki ball in his right hand. Bakiar screamed out in agony as the ki ball formed around his fist and exploded. Tajek finally released Bakiar's hand, but didn't let him off that easily. Tajek turned toward Zendo, who hadn't moved at all, and dashed toward him, at the same time releasing a massive energy wave behind him, engulfing Bakiar and causing him to fall through the clouds and out of sight.
Zendo put his arms up in an 'X' shape to protect him from the oncoming saiyan boy. When Tajek got close enough to Zendo, he slowed down a bit and got into an almost vertical position as he still drew closer to his opponent. Zendo braced himself as Tajek got within fist range of the Elite-Saiyan, though Tajek did not attack. He merely put the wrists of his hands together and maneuvered them below Zendo's arms and pressed his hands against Zendo's torso. Both seemed to be frozen in the air for a moment, and then a bright green glow could be seen, being emitted from Tajek's hands. A bright flash was let off, and nothing could be seen.
Bakiar was looking up at the clouds, ready to go help his partner, as he saw the flash in the sky. "What the-?" The flash looked like a great crystal sphere. Bakiar decided to stay low for now. Ten seconds went by before the light vanished, and at that point Bakiar dashed upward, past the clouds, and back onto the battlefield. He spotted Zendo and Tajek in the air. The two were still in the same positions they had been in before the flash. Tajek slowly moved his arms to his sides and backed away. Zendo did not move. "What did you do to him!" yelled out Bakiar in immense anger.
Tajek shot a gaze to the Orange Elite-Saiyan. "The technique I just used is one of my most powerful ones. Your friend is paralyzed on the outside, his blood is pumping five times faster on the inside, and I just erased all his memories of all the techniques he's ever learned, although it's all just temporary. The paralysis will wear off within a few hours. The blood pumping anmd the memory will wear off in a few days." Bakiar said nothing, only stared at Tajek in fear. Tajek stared back with a cold-hearted look. "You have a choice right now. You can either try to stop me and end up like your friend, or you can answer a few questions of mine, and then let us continue on our path."
Bakiar had a disgusted look on his face. "What are your questions?" He asked darkly.
"Why'd you guys attack me?" Tajek asked curiously, wondering if the two of them had anything to do with Kasargon.
"Our Lord ordered us to. He said that you must be stopped at all costs."
"And your lords name? My guess is Kasargon, am I correct?"
Bakiar nodded. "Indeed, it was Lord Kasargon who gave us this job."
"One more question," Tajek remained silent for a moment. "Why is it so important to Kasargon that this planet be destroyed?"
Bakiar stared deep into Tajek's eyes. "Because he's afraid that if he leaves anyone alive, they will become more powerful than him, and overthrow him."
"Does that include both of you?"
"No, we are his sons, we are completely loyal to our father, and we will both be Princes of the Universe."
Tajek said nothing more, but only motioned for Pan, Goku, and Vegeta to follow him. The four saiyans began to fly in the direction they had originally been going, and Bakiar watched as they left his sight.
(Tajek narrating): So now Kasargon has minions? Well I'm sure I haven't seen the last of those two, and now that they know what I'm capable of, the next time we fight will be an even bigger challenge. And even though I got a lot of questions answered, there are still many questions floating around. Who knows what's going to happen next. Find out next time on, Dragon Ball HD!
