Chapter 4- Stopping Death

"GRAGH!" The Krarg yells as he swings his arms left and right in anger. It then throws its arms to the ground and begins to run at Drake, digging its legs into the dead ground with every step. Drake slowly readies his stance, preparing himself to take the attack head on. The Krarg approaches him and hurls a clenched fist at Drake.

"Hmph!" Drake moves his head left, letting the fist fly over his shoulder. In frustration, the Krarg bursts out punch after punch like a machinegun. However fast he punched however, Drake was always a step ahead of the monster, dodging left and right, leaping over and under the monster to confuse it.

"RAAAAWGH!" The Krarg yells out in anger. It crosses its arms in front of its face and bends slightly forward.

"Ha, somebody is frustrated that they're too slow." Drake says as he mocks the monster. "Hm…? What're you…?" He asks as the monster's crystal body begins to crack all over.

"OOOOOGH!" The Krarg throws its arms outward. Thousands of purple spines shoot out in all directions from the Krarg, some of which flew directly at Drake.

"Shit!" He holds his arms out and begins to blast as many of the spines with small yellow energy shots, shattering the spines on contact. He was good, but not that good. "Nnnf!" A spine rockets through his shoulder, piercing it and flying out the fighter's right shoulder. He feels the cells in his body all die in an instant. "Ahhhhgh!" He squints in pain as he looks at his dried right shoulder. It was useless now.. "ARHN! Dammit!" He looks up to see the Krarg charging at him once more. This time, the Krarg begins to throw out its machine gun punches at Drake once more. But with a useless arm, he had to now physically block the attacks. Such a task was not something he wanted to do since each time he blocked the attack, a bit of his arm or wrist became dead from touching the monster.

"GOOGOOOGOO!" The Krarg continues to shout out as it unleashes its unstoppable barrage on the Super Saiyan 2.

"Nng… No… NOOO!" Drake screams as the monster slowly overruns him. He holds his working hand out straight and desperately launches off an energy blast. In a quick flash of yellow light, an explosion rocks the entire park area, sending smoke hurdling hundreds of feet into the air. Drake flies out of the cloud, clutching his arm with the other as he hovers over the blast area. "That… wasn't supposed to be that devastating of an attack." He says in reluctance. As the smoke clears, he sees The Krarg still standing on the ground, pounding its chest in anger with Drew. "Damn thing… fine then." Drake looks at his arm and concentrates his energy around it once more. "Aaaahhgh…" Drake squints as he tries to metabolize the wound as quickly as possible. A few moments later, his arm is movable again. But without proper medical care, it was only a temporary quick fix.

"GRAHHGH!" The Krarg yells as it stares up at Drake.

"Okay monster, you want everything out of me?" He throws his arms outward. "GNAH!" He grunts from his arm still hurting. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHGH!" He yells at the top of his lungs. His aura erupts around him. Blue electrical bolts from his aura strike the ground and nearby trees, singing whatever they touched, sometimes even cutting through the ground towards The Krarg. The monster looks around curiously as gusts of wind blast by the monster, blowing up rocks, trees, grass, and whatever else was around it.

"Ooo?" It says as it examines the situation. The Krarg then hurls its arm back, followed by thrusting it forward, blasting out five more spines headed right for Drake.

"AAAAAAAGH! AHAHA! AAHHHH! HRRRNNNN!" The Super Saiyan 2 grunts as the spines approach him. "YYYYARNH!" His aura spikes out farther, turning into a full blazing aura rather than a fire effect, vaporizing the incoming spines. The Krarg steps back, unsure what to do now.

"NOW! This is the technique from my OTHER side of my Saiyan ancestry. Great Grandpa Drew's ultimate attack…!" He says as he slams his wrists together, aiming his next shot directly for the Krarg. "FINAL FLAAAASH!!" He screams as he unleashes his massive yellow beam of energy, rocketing it towards The Krarg. The monster is too shocked to move out of the wave. "RAHHH!" Drake pushes all of his energy into the shot. The massive yellow beam of energy envelops the monster and then some, blasting all the way back through the city and eventually curving upwards towards the sky, passing right between the skyscraper buildings.

"Ugh… nuhhh…" Drake groans as he loses altitude, hovering towards the ground. When he lands, his hair and eyes downgrade from his Super Saiyan 2 state to normal. He drops to his knees and falls onto his arms. Sweat pours down his face and drips onto the ground. "So… how… how's that… monster?!" He says as he looks up at his work. There is a completely destroyed path through the park, obliterating any sort of dead trees and grass that the Krarg first killed. Steam hovers around the scorched earth as Drake stumbles to his feet, panting and sweating. Fortunately, the Krarg is yet to be seen. All Drake can see is shattered clumps of the purple crystals that were the leftovers of the Krarg. "It's about time…" He walks over to one of the purple crystals and stares at it. "Just how does this thing kill stuff just by touching it…?" He kneels down, getting a closer look. Suddenly, the crystal shakes. Drake leaps back, falling over on his rump from his massive energy loss. "The hell…?" He sees all around him the crystal pieces doing the same thing. In an instant, they all fly at one another and stack on top of one another, eventually creating the Krarg once more.

"OOOG!" The monster pounds its chest with joy. The Krarg still lives.

"D-dammit!" Drake says as his body shakes. "Why can't I beat this thing?!" Drake shouts, unclear as to why this was happening. "I unleashed just about EVERYTHING I could muster to kill that thing!" The Krarg notices the panicking hero and pulls its arm back. "NO!" The Krarg hurls a single large spine at Drake. "AAAAAAHGH!" He uses the last of his energy and places his index and middle finger on his forehead. Using Instant Transmission, he teleports back into Viridian City, right into the President's office. "It's still alive… I don't know how, but it's still a…live!" He says as he reaches an arm towards the president. With that, he loses all strength and falls unconscious.

"WE NEED HELP IN HEEERE!!" The President screams into his com link to the rest of the capitol building.
