Chapter 3: The Ryken's Arrival!

It was a week before the Rykens were to arrive, and Ethan was finishing up his training in the Other World with Kau Kai, and his other student, Mitsuki.

"Ethan. You're about a week away from the Ryken's arrival…" Kau Kai said. Ethan nodded.

"I'd like to contact Sensei Sayaka, and tell her to wish me back." Ethan said. Kau Kai nodded.

"Come place your hand on my back, and you'll be able to talk with her." Kau Kai said. Ethan nodded, and walked behind Kau Kai, placing his hand on his back.

"Sensei Sayaka? Hello? Can you hear me?" Ethan asked. On Earth, Sayaka was lounging outside of her house in her chair, tanning.

"Huh? Oh, yes. I can hear you loud and clear, Ethan." She said.

"All right… I need you to revive me. But I need you to word the wish differently than you would… I need you to revive anybody who has died from the Rykens in the past year." Ethan said.

Sayaka immediately got up, and called Yuki and Miko. They came to her house as quickly as possible, and landed. At the edge of Sayaka's island, they placed the 7 Dragon Balls down, and Yuki stood in front of them.

"Eternal Dragon of Earth… Please, grant us our wish!" She said. The sky of Earth became dark, and enshrouded by clouds, and a yellow aura rose from the Dragon Balls. Suddenly, a golden silhouette of a dragon rose, and came into color. The dragon looked like an ordinary dragon, except with red eye, and seemingly infinite, limited by how much he came out of the Dragon Balls.

"... You who has gathered the Dragon Balls… Speak your wish now, and it shall be done…" The dragon said.

"... Dragon. We wish that you revive everybody who has died from the Rykens in the past year!" Yuki shouted. The dragon nodded, his eyes glowing red.

"It shall be done…" The dragon spoke, deeply.

Back on Kau Kai's planet, Ethan cheered for joy.

"I'll finally be able to see all of my friends again!" Ethan said. He looked at Kau Kai, and Mitsuki.

"I hope to see you again soon." Mitsuki said. Ethan laughed a little bit, along with Kau Kai. As Ethan's halo disappeared due to the wish, Mitsuki's also disappeared.

"You're coming with me to help in the battle with the Rykens! I hope you don't mind." Ethan said. Mitsuki jumped in the air with joy.

"Not at all!" She yelled. Ethan looked at Kau Kai.

"Thank you, Kau Kai… But I have one last favor." Ethan said. He looked down at his gi, which was tattered and torn, and Kau Kai seemed to read his mind. His sunglasses shot a beam of energy at Ethan, which changed his gi completely to a red and blue gi, red gi, blue undershirt, blue belt, blue boots, blue wristbands. He did the same to Mitsuki. On the top right corner of Ethan's gi was a white circle, and a 亀 inside of it, which stood for the Turtle School. On the back, there was a bigger symbol, with a 界 symbol on top of a 王 symbol, which was for Kau Kai's training. Mitsuki had a different symbol. One front of her gi in the same place of Ethan's, she had a 兵 symbol, a symbol for warrior, and on the back, she had a 軍 symbol on top of a 人, which stood for soldier. The duo headed off of Kau Kai's Planet with a jump, and began flying down Snake Way as quickly as they could.

The dragon nodded its head to Sayaka, Yuki, and Miko.

"Your wish has been granted… Farewell…" He said. His silhouette disappeared, and the Dragon Balls rose into the air, spinning in a circle. Suddenly, they all scattered in every direction, the sky returning to its light self. One week later…

Bella and Keonde meditated in the Wasteland, waiting for the Rykens to arrive. Keonde wore his usual outfit, and Bella wore a darker colored yellow gi than Keonde, with blue wristbands, and a red undershirt. On the back of her gi was the 魔 symbol, meaning demon, and standing for Keonde's training camp. Her hair was also longer, and she had an older look to her.

"... Are you ready?" Keonde asked. Bella opened an eye, and looked over at him, opening her other eye.

"... Are YOU ready?" She asked. Keonde growled.

"Don't get smart with me…" He said. Suddenly, he could feel 2 faint powers. They were strong, but faint. He stood up immediately, and looked around. Bella stood up aside of him.

"Do you feel that, Mister Keonde?" Bella asked. Keonde nodded.

"The Rykens… They're here…" Keonde said.

After waiting for the Rykens to appear or show themselves, they finally appeared in the air, hovering in front of the sun.

"Well, it seems 2 of them have anticipated our arrival. Shall we dispose of them quickly?" The weaker power said.

"You can play with them as you wish…" The stronger power said. The men landed on the ground in front of Keonde and Bella. The weaker power, which stood closer to Bella and Keonde, looked to be about 8 feet tall, with a huge body, made all entirely of muscle. He wore the same outfit at Karrot, except his boots were white, and he wore white gloves. His Scouter was turquoise, his armor was dark blue, shoulderpads and stomach-padding golden. His golden tail was wrapped around his waist. He was bald, and had a black beard. He had an older look to him.

The stronger power, by far, who stood in the back, seemed to be only a little more than 5 feet tall. He wore a full undersuit that was light blue. He wore the same armor as Kabaj and Karrot, but his had front and back guardings for his crotch and butt, and his armor was white, shoulderpads, front and back pads, and stomach pads golden. He also had his tail wrapped around his waist. His hair was dark brown. So much so that it seemed black. His hair was spiky, spiked over to the side like Gohan's hairstyle. He wore a red Scouter instead of turquoise or yellow.

Bella looked into the air with fright, looking around.

"I sense more people…" She spoke. Keonde gasped, then regained himself.

"Be prepared! There are more than we anticipated! By the looks of thing, I sense at least 3 others!" Keonde shouted. Bella gulped.

"Th-Three?! No! We can't take them!" She shouted.

"Don't get discouraged, bratt!" Keonde shouted. In the air, a figure appeared. It was Miko. He landed next to Bella.

"Miko's in the house… Gee, you've really grown, Bella." Miko said. Keonde wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Good… At least you're stronger than that Karrot guy was." He said. Then, in the air was Sileanic along with Evan. Evan looked the same as before. Sileanic was short, maybe 4 feet tall, with dark brown skin. His voice was high-pitched, and he wore a red baseball cap on his head. He wore a light blue tank top, with black pants, and a blue belt, with brown shoes.

"These two are stronger than Karrot, as well. It's a good thing other people trained…" Keonde said. Evan and Sileanic landed on the ground, and Bella tried running to Evan, but Keonde grabbed her arm.

"Focus." He said.

Finally, the last fighter appeared, quickly landing aside of Sileanic. He had long black hair, and wore the same gi as Miko. He had a scar on his cheek. He turned, and faced the 2 Rykens.

"Masmik in the house…" He spoke. In order, Masmik, Sileanic, Evan, Miko, Bella, and Keonde stood, all in a line in front of the large and small Ryken. The large Ryken centered himself to be even with center fighters, and he chuckled.

"My name is Kabaj… I used to be a general. General of the Ryken Army. I want your Dragon Balls… So, if you'd be so kind as to hand them over, we don't have to fight." Kabaj said.

"Not a chance!" Miko said. Everybody else nodded.

"... Well. How about we make this fun? One-on-one matches. Does that sound fair?" Kabaj asked. The man in the back pressed a button on his Scouter.

"The blue one is 7,300… The little girl is 2,300. The short, bald one is 5,600. The tall, bald one is 6,100. The short, black one is 2,800. The scarred one is 5,200." Said the man. Kabaj laughed.

"Although you're all stronger than Karrot… I happen to have a Power Level of 14,000!" He shouted. Everybody's eyes widened. They seemed shocked that he could be so strong in comparison to them.

Keonde clenched his fists, and smirked at Kabaj.

"One-on-one you said…?" He asked. Kabaj nodded, chuckling to himself.

"Let's do it." Keonde said. He let go of Bella's arm, and began walking towards Kabaj arrogantly. He stood there positionless, as did Kabaj. Keonde rushed forward at Kabaj, and threw a punch towards him. Kabaj sidestepped, and kneed Keonde in the stomach. He then began punching him endlessly. Keonde extended an arm out while he was being punched, and released a yellow energy beam. Kabaj jumped over it, and in the air, he rushed down at Keonde, and used both of his enormous feet to kick him in the head. Keonde was sent hurdling backwards.

"... Even for someone as strong as Keonde…" Miko said.

"He's getting beat pretty badly…" Evan said.

Keonde got up from the ground, and growled. He began sprinting towards Kabaj at full speed, attempting to knee him in the jaw. He managed to do so, but Kabaj shook it off like it was nothing. He grabbed Keonde by his head, and kneed him as hard as he could. Keonde stumbled backwards, and then fell onto his back. Kabaj turned towards the other warriors.

"Anybody else want a piece of me?!" He asked. Everybody looked at each other. Keonde got up, and, extending his arm out, released a yellow energy beam again, except this time, it hit Kabaj in his back, and left burnt marks. Kabaj growled, and reached for his back, then turned slowly, only to see a yellow energy beam hit him in his face. Keonde shot up into the air, and began rushing downwards. He slammed his head into Kabaj's, and then fell backwards onto the ground, unconscious. Kabaj's face was now bleeding, his back was burnt, and his head was also bleeding. He growled, and clenched his fists.

"You… You'll… PAY! You scarred my face - My beautiful face!" Kabaj said. He walked over to Keonde, stomping on the ground as he did so.

Bella bolted into battle towards Kabaj, yelling and shouting to him.

"Leave him alone!" She shouted. Kabaj turned, frowning, an angry look on his face. He ran a few steps to Bella. She pointed a finger at him, and a strand of yellow energy hit Kabaj's chest. He stopped mid-sprint, and looked at the other fighters. Kabaj extended his arm out towards the crowd, and released a large yellow energy beam, which could have easily taken out half of them. Bella ducked, as to not be hit. It hit one or two of them, and there was an explosion. Bella stared at the crowd. Dust and smoke filled the air, and when it cleared, Miko and Masmik were lying on the ground, no energies. Evan walked over to them, and tried to shake them awake.

"Come on guys, wake up!" He said. When he had no response, his glare was suddenly aimed towards Kabaj.

"You monster… You killed them!" Evan shouted. The stronger powered-Ryken's Scouter began to beep.

"What's this…? Two strong powers, headed this way? They're distant, but they're there…" He said.

"What is it, Riken?" Kabaj asked.

"Just get a straight head, and stop getting to angry. It's just 5 Humans and an alien. They shouldn't be so hard." Riken said.

"But they burnt my armor-" Kabaj began.

"Just calm down." Riken demanded. Kabaj nodded, and looked towards Evan and the dead Miko and Masmik. Evan clenched his fists.

Bella ran over to Keonde while Kabaj wasn't paying attention. She shook him.

"Come on… Wake up. Without you, we don't have the Dragon Balls… And you're the strongest one here… We need you." Bella said. Keonde's eyes opened, and he stared at her.

"Bratt… Don't tell me what to do… Besides, I'm done for, anyways. The Great Demon King Keonde, taken out while trying to help save a planet… Pitiful…" Keonde said. His eyes closed, and his head rolled to the side. Bella felt for a pulse, but there was nothing. She clenched her fists, as her power rose, notably on Riken's Scouter. Evan and Kabaj rushed each other, until they heard Bella scream. They turned, and watched her rise up, a raging purple aura shooting into the sky. She turned, and glared at Kabaj, her face full of anger.

"Because of you… We can't wish our friends back… I'LL KILL YOU!" Bella shouted. Bella sprinted towards Kabaj, who smirked.

"COME ON! GIVE ME A REAL CHALLENGE!" Kabaj shouted. Bella jumped up, and kicked him in the head. She then kicked him in the stomach, and began punching him viciously. Kabaj staggered backwards, and growled.

"Why you little-!" He shouted. He threw a punch towards her. She blocked it, and then did a few backflips back. She sprinted at him again, and punched him so hard, that he rose into the air. She jumped up, and kicked him down towards the ground. He smacked into the ground, and she growled out.

"It's over!" Bella shouted.

She positioned her body so her head was pointing at Kabaj, and launched herself down towards him. Her head slammed into Kabaj's armor, cracking and putting a hole into it. This damaged her head, too. She rolled onto the ground, on her back, and breathed heavily, the aura disappearing from her body. Kabaj looked down at his armor, and then over at Bella. He got up, and hovered over her, growling and shouting in anger and pain.

"Evan, Bella's in trouble!" Sileanic said. Evan growled.

"But… What can I do?" Evan asked.

"It doesn't matter if you can or can't do anything - You have to try! She's your daughter!" Sileanic shouted. Evan looked down at the ground.

Kabaj's foot began to hover over Bella's body, as he laughed.

"Say goodbye to your life…" He spoke. A voice was heard in the air.

"TRI-BEAM!" The voice shouted. Kabaj turned, and looked up in the air. He saw a spec. It was obviously Evan, but it wasn't obvious to him. A huge diamond-shaped, yellow energy blast hurled down at Kabaj. He flew into the air to rush at it, but it slammed into him, leaving his body steaming. Bella got up, and extended both arms out, pointed at the spot on Kabaj's back that was burnt.

"Demon Ray!" She shouted. Suddenly, a black and dark-purple energy beam shout out of her hands, and slammed into Kabaj's back, breaking the burnt part of his armor off, and hitting his skin. Riken laughed in the distance. Kabaj seemed pathetic and helpless to him.

"Come on, Kabaj. Why don't you try a little harder?" Riken asked. Kabaj turned around, and kicked Bella under her chin, nearly killing her with one devastating blow. She fell backwards onto the ground, blood running down her chin, her eyes closed. She lay there, almost lifeless. Riken's eyes narrowed.

Evan stood in there, his eyes widened.

"... My daughter… No… No… YOU… MONSTER!" Evan shouted. Kabaj turned, and looked at him.

"What're you gonna do? Huh? You have 4 friends dead. DEAD. Now you're going to pay for the blue one scarring my face…" Kabaj said. Evan made a triangle with his hands, a yellow energy forming in the space he made. Kabaj began flying into the air, and suddenly, his image disappeared, reappearing beside Evan. He grabbed his arm, and smashed it over his own leg, and then threw a punch into Evan's stomach. Evan spit out blood onto Kabaj's armor, and Kabaj dangled him in the air by his arm. He kneed him over, and over again like a maniac, creating a noticeable black and blue bruise where he was getting kneed.

Sileanic fly into the air, and used his energy to create an energy ball. He threw it at Kabaj, and it exploded upon contact. Kabaj dropped Evan to the ground, where he hit, and lay there. Sileanic's image appeared behind Kabaj, and he latched onto his head.

"A challenge! I like it! Give me a fight!" Kabaj shouted. Sileanic's body began to glow a bright blue color, his eyes glowing yellow, seemingly as bright as the sun.

"Evan… I do this for you, and for everybody this monster killed." Sileanic said. Evan's eyes shifted upwards, and he rolled onto his back, having almost no strength left.
"... Sileanic… What are you doing…?" Evan asked. A huge blue bubble engulfed Sileanic and Kabaj, as the ground seemed to light up with an array of blue.

"... Goodbye, my friend." Sileanic said. His body began to expand, as pressure filled him, and suddenly, there was an explosion from their very spot.

"SILEANIC, NO!" Evan screamed. Dust, smoke, and chunks of Sileanic filled the air in Kabaj's spot. Everything seemed quiet. Riken's Scouter began beeping again.

"What could that be…?" Riken asked.

Bella picked her head up, feeling herself fading in and out of consciousness.

"... We're… Doomed…" She whispered to herself. The smoke in the air cleared, and there stood Kabaj, his armor completely disintegrated, bruises, blood, and cuts all over his body. He had a frustrated look on his face.
"... He… Is no more…" He spoke to himself, trying to calm down. Kabaj descended from the air, and landed gently on the ground. He walked over to Bella, and stared at her.
"... You're dead. Do you hear me? I don't care if it takes me my whole life… I'm going to kill you." Kabaj said. Evan began crawling towards Kabaj, but nearly passed out about halfway there.

"Leave her alone." A male voice said from the air.

"Yeah, pick on someone your own size." A female voice said.

Riken and Kabaj looked up in the air, and saw Ethan and Mitsuki hovering over the battlefield. Ethan landed in the middle of it, looking around. He looked at Kabaj, who was hovering over Bella. To his left were the dead bodies of Miko and Masmik. To his right was the tiny chunks of Sileanic. And behind him was Evan's almost-limp body. A serious look was on Ethan's face, as he looked around. Mitsuki landed alongside him, and stared at him.

"Calm yourself." She whispered. Ethan looked to her.

"... I will not calm myself… They killed my friends… And they will pay for what they've done…" Ethan spoke. He walked up to Kabaj, who turned around.
"... Who are you?" Kabaj asked. Ethan clenched his fists tightly.

"I am Ethan, protector of this planet. That Karrot guy that you sent here to retrieve me called me Kyabetsu." Ethan said. He felt inner anger rushing through him as he stared at Kabaj. Kabaj smirked.

"Well. I am the one who killed your friends. What're you gonna do about it, punk?" Kabaj asked. Riken shook his head.

"Stupid…" He whispered to himself.

Ethan disappeared from everybody's view. Kabaj looked around, and took a few steps inwards towards the middle of the battlefield. Mitsuki dashed away, because she could already tell what was going to happen.

"... Kaaa… Meee… Haa…. Meeee…" Ethan chanted. Kabaj looked up into the air, and saw Ethan with his arms pulled to his side, a blue energy ball forming. Kabaj turned, so his entire body faced Ethan, and backed up a few steps. A blue aura formed around Ethan, as the ground shook, and pebbled began rising into the air.

"17,000… 18,000… It's over 20…" Riken said. Suddenly, his Scouter exploded on his face, the scraps and pieces falling to the ground.

"Kabaj, be careful, his Power Level exceeds 20,000!" Riken shouted. Ethan extended his arms outwards, and released a large blue beam of energy downwards to Kabaj. Kabaj let out a shout, as the beam hit him, and penetrated through the surface of the Wasteland, going down into an seemingly endless hole, pushing Kabaj where it went. His energy faded, and Ethan could no longer sense him. He took a breath, and landed on the ground. There was now a huge hole in the center of the battlefield. Ethan walked over to Evan, and placed a green bean in his mouth. Evan began chewing it, and he swallowed. His injuries healed. Ethan then walked over to Bella, and placed a bean in her mouth, her injuries also healing.

Ethan walked over to Miko and Masmik, and felt for their pulses. He couldn't feel either of them.

"Masmik… Miko… Miko… Miko…" Ethan said. There was a long period of silence, as he stood over Miko's body. Riken stood, and watched Ethan, wondering what he would do. He had a feeling that Ethan had something interesting in store. Ethan clenched his fists tightly, a single tear falling from his eye.

"And with Keonde gone… There's no bringing you back…" He said. He looked over at Keonde, and shook his head.

"It's not fair… It's not… Fair…" Ethan said. Evan walked over to Bella, and picked her up in his arms, and went to go sit by one of the rocky mountains. Mitsuki stood near the hole in the center, staring at Riken and Ethan. A golden aura surrounded Ethan's body, as the ground rumbled beneath him. Riken's eyes widened.

"No… It can't be…" He said. The ground lightly shook, as a yellow tint appeared in Ethan's body. His hair began to stand up, as much as short hair could stand up, and there was a reddish tint to it. His muscles bulged out, and he turned to Riken. His eyes were completely white. There was something different about him.

Riken quickly prepared himself.

"S-Super Ryken?! But how is it possible?! Only I should be able to, not a low-life renegade like him!" Riken shouted. Ethan flew towards Riken, and his fist connected with his cheek, sending Riken flying back. Ethan appeared behind him, and kicked him in the back, sending him into the air. He then appeared above Riken, and used his legs to force Riken down onto the ground, where his back hit the ground, hard. Riken growled.

"I will not allow this to stand!" He shouted. Ethan rose into the air, and began releasing a rapid fire of energy blasts from his hands, each heading towards Riken on the ground, the ones that hit exploding into dust and shouts from Riken. Riken stared at Ethan in amazement.

"How is this possible?!" He shouted. Then, he thought of something.

"Kyabetsu! If you keep this up, you might destroy the bodies of your friends!" Riken shouted. Ethan's eyes returned, and he reverted out of his transformed state, descending down towards the ground next to Mitsuki. He let out a breath of air.

"... You're right." He said. Riken smirked.

"Now… Our battlefield is set. Where will we fight, Kyabetsu? You may pick." Riken said. Ethan nodded. He looked up into the sky. By the time they'd get to the area where they'd fight, it'd be dark… Evan stood up, and walked over to Ethan.

"If you need help, I'm-" Evan began.

"Go home," Ethan said. "I can handle this by myself. I'll talk to you when all's said and done." Evan nodded. Ethan grabbed Mitsuki's hand, and rose into the air.

"Follow." Ethan said. A white aura formed around him and Mitsuki, and they began north. Ethan had a place in mind for battle.
