So my first review showed up and I got all excited, I opened it up and all it said was update... I'm happy though as it means someone is wanting to read more, so thank you.
Chapter 5 – Unauthorised Mission.
The class was over, Kakarot, Cello and Florid now knew the basic's of communicating through the mind.
'Ohhhhh Kakarot I am a magic being sent to give you orders to save the Universe, the only way to make Universal peace is to make Florid a sandwich.'
"Hey, get out of my head." Kakarot frowned at Florid, She had picked up the skill faster than anyone.
"What are you talking about Kakarot, I'm not in your head" Florid used her new technique again 'Get Florid that sandwich'
Cello raised a smile, he didn't know what Florid was saying but from the look she was getting from Kakarot it really amused him.
"It's not funny Florid, I'll be all in your head once I've mastered it. Then you'll regret it."
"Hey even Cello is smiling so I must be doing something right" Florid chuckled to herself.
WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP "We have a Level 1 Threat on planet Yardrat" WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP "I repeat a level 1 threat on planet Yardrat."
"This is my chance, I'm going to prove to everyone I'm ready now and not in two years!" Kakarot spoke to his two friends.
"No way Kakarot, you know we can't were too young to go on missions" Florid replied.
"But it's only a level 1 threat, and I'm stronger than a lot of the new recruits out there."
Cello replied this time. "We have rules Kakarot and we can't go on a mission until we are at least 16, you know this so there's no point in arguing"
"Fine" Kakarot huffed. "I'll go back to training then. See you all later." Kakarot walked away from Cello and Florid heading in the general direction of the training grounds, out of view Kakarot lowered his power so no one could detect him and made his way towards the hangar bay.
Inside the hangar bay General Ren was addressing three new warriors who had only just been given permission to go out on missions, along side them stood master Slate and a Yardrat. Master Slate wasn't that powerful in fact Kakarot was already stronger but no one could match Slate's fighting skills not even Ren himself, It put him at a great advantage when fighting those not much stronger than himself.
The Yardrat spoke up. "A creature has appeared on our planet and started attacking us for no reason, it's not even spoken a word."
Ren interrupted "We have checked our own records to the pictures and video feeds the Yardrat's have sent us and we have zero knowledge on this creature. We scanned the planet and located it's whereabouts the co-ordinates have been sent to your ship."
"I'll assume this creature doesn't have much power." Asked master Slate.
"You assume correct." The Yardrat applied "We as a race don't have much power though, so for even someone you consider weak we consider extremely strong. The scouters that you left with us when we last needed your help picked up the power level at 3,000."
"Where did it come from and how long ago did it attack then"
"We don't know, we've seen no spaceship or anything similar appear in the sky, it just appeared as if of out of nowhere and as for when about 15 minutes before the sirens were sounding on this planet of yours."
Slate looked confused "15 minutes but how did you get here so quickly."
"Instantaneous movement, it's a defensive technique we Yardrat's know. It allows us to move from one place to another as long as we've been there before, instantaneously. In fact I could use it to get you all to Yardrat in no time at all. As long as I'm touching you or your touching someone who is touching me."
Kakarot with his power low was hiding crouched behind a desk listening in on every word 'If they decide to do that instant moving thing I'm going to have to hurry'
"Great idea, we don't really have the time to waste, where will you go when you've dropped off my troops" Ren asked.
"I'll return to my people, they are all in hiding. I'll return once this creature is dead or off our planet."
"Well unless anyone one has gotten anything to add I suggest we get going as soon as possible." Ren looked around, no one had anything to say, they all started to put their armour on.
'Kakarot, what the hell are you doing.' It was Florid using her new mental powers, she had sneaked up on Kakarot, her power was so low and controlled that he hadn't sensed her coming.
Kakarot responded the best he could, he wasn't quite as fluid as Florid just yet 'I'm gon- - - planet and help – out"
'What, your going to go with them to the planet and help them. You can't'
Master Slate and his members were now ready, Slate placed his hand onto the Yardrat's shoulder and in turn the three warriors placed there hands onto each other, all linked together.
"Well if your ready then let's go" The Yardrat placed two fingers to his forehead, getting a lock onto his planet. He visualised a forest not to far from where the last known location was of the alien that torments his planet. "I'm locked in"
"Good luck team and be safe" General Ren saluted his members.
The Yardrat, Master Slate and his team started to phase in and out. It was now or never for Kakarot, He rushed forward towards the closest member of the team diving forward grabbing hold of his leg, behind followed Florid. "We can't go!" She lunged herself grabbing hold of Kakarot trying to pull him away, it was to late they vanished.
"Was that Kakarot and Florid." It all happened too fast for General Ren but he was certain it was them two.
"Kakarot, Florid! What the hell are you two doing here." Slate was furious "This is no place for children."
"Master Slate I'm so sorry I tried stopping him but ended up being transported here with you all, I'm so sorry Sir." Florid groveled she didn't like being in trouble.
"Come on Slate, it's only a level 1 threat it's nothing we can't handle." Kakarot was less impeded to grovel at the situation.
"It's Master Slate to you Kakarot and we have rules for a reason." Slate turned to the Yardrat. "Can you send these two back?"
"Unfortunately I can't, using Instantaneous Movement puts a lot of strain on the body especially when moving across galaxies."
"Can you take them both to safety, where all your people are gathered."
"Certainly."
"Okay you two, your going with him to safety, stay there and don't get into any trouble do you understand me."
Kakarot was reluctant "Come on Master Slate, it's so boring on Flora, I just want to fight. Besides I'm stronger than Hunter, Archer and Gunner that you've brought along."
"I couldn't care less how strong you are Kakarot your going to a safe place with the Yardrat."
He knew he didn't have a choice and let out a sigh. "Fine."
Kakarot and Florid grabbed hold of the Yardrat and then they were gone.
"Okay troops, I can sense the creature. He's not to far from here, let's move out."
Slate and his troops had only been flying for a few minutes when they noticed the creature on the ground, It hadn't noticed them. It was moving slowly dragging it's arm's across the floor, it was walking along a wide dirt path, large rocks and trees as tall as mountains surrounded the area. Slate noticed the surroundings to be free of any life form or buildings, they could fight freely here.
"It's hideous Sir" Hunter mentioned to Slate.
The creature stood at 6 foot, its skin black from head to toe wearing nothing on it's body, it's face had no features just two red eye's glowed, no nose, ears or even a mouth. It's arm's were so long that it was dragging them across the floor leaving a trail of claw marks behind it, it's body was slender. It looked like it had long spiky hair but upon a closer look this creature seemed to be just one organism no hairline in sight.
"You there, who are you and why have you attacked this peaceful planet." Slate and his troops landed on the ground several feet behind the creature.
The creature carried on forward, dragging it's arms across the ground.
"I'm talking to you don't you ignore me." Slate let of a small ki blast and fired it in front of the creature, getting it's attention. The creature turned around and snarled.
"This creatures Ki is dark, I suggest you take precautions when you attack." Hunter, Gunner and Archer nodded in unison as they got in battle positions.
"Last chance, Who are you and what are you doing here." The creature let out a piercing scream as it flung it's arm behind itself.
"We've given you your chance, Attack men."
The battleground was lite up from the low setting sun with the night taking over, the three warriors leapt forward splitting into different directions, Hunter went head on, Gunner to the left and Archer to the right. The creature in response swung a arm forward towards Hunter who was well out of the creatures reach. 'What is it doing' thought Slate watching over the three warriors. Then it's arm extended forward grabbing hold of Hunter round his neck, Hunter grabbed hold of the creatures arm trying to loosen the grip but it was to no avail. The creature swung it's long extended arm up and then down into the ground, Hunter whelped in pain as his head smashed of the ground. Realising it was about to get ambushed the creature swung it's long extended arm to the right, still holding onto Hunter, the creature smashed him into Archer sending him through a couple of trees, but it didn't stop it's momentum. Hunter had taken quite a bit of damage at this point and it was about to get worse, Carrying on it's swing towards Gunner the creature unleashed Hunter who smashed into him at tremendous speed, both warriors smashed into a hefty size rock causing it to crack at the force of impact.
The creature screamed again like it's first scream it seemed scared. Archer used this time to repay the creature the favour of the pain he just felt by sending a forceful kick to the side of it's head, it too went crashing through a few trees.
"I guess that shut you up." Archer had been hit hard but he still had plenty of fight in him. Gunner and Hunter both got themselves up and joined up with Archer.
"That shut you up... Last chance... Don't you ignore me... Attack men." The creature spoke it's first words, everything it said was a repeat of previous conversations it had heard from the Saviors themselves.
"Um!? Why are you repeating us?" Hunter asked in confusion.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The monster screamed again.
"Men it's repeating you because it's learning, that scream isn't a war cry... It's screams it's heard from the Yardrat's it attacked. I don't know what this creature is but I suggest you power up and finish it off, there's something extremely evil coming from it." Slate wanted to get involved but this was there first mission, they had to show that they could overcome this situation. Still though if things became to bad Slate would step in.
Hunter, Archer and Gunner took stance and started to power up to their maximums, the creature stared at them somewhat in amazement. Reaching max power aura's surrounded them they lit up the area as the only light being provided now was from the full moon, the sun had settled. All three warriors rushed the creature, this time they were much quicker and the creature didn't move. Hunter stopped in front and smashed his fist into it's stomach, Archer flew pass smashing a knee into it's face and Gunner came from behind landing an attack from up high smashing both feet into it's neck the creature crashed into the ground.
"Don't let up men" Slate shouted.
Hunter grabbed the creature off the floor and all three warriors went from heavy attacks to light giving the creature a constant onslaught of fast but still powerful attacks, the creature couldn't do anything but stand there and take on the damage, it couldn't process what was happening as it was all to quick.
All three men stopped attacking and stepped back from the creature, each warrior faced the creature from different directions it was barely standing.
"Finish it off now."
The three warriors raised their hands in front of themselves flat out facing the creature, they intended to finish it right here and now. Three Ki balls form, one each from the individual warrior.
BOOOOOOM!
The three balls of Ki had hit the creature instantaneously causing a huge explosion.
The three warriors let out a sigh of relief, there first mission was a success they had done it.
"I suggest you POWER UP!"
"What, no way" Hunter couldn't believe what he was hearing "It survived that"
"I suggest you Power up, Power up, Power up, Power up!" The smoke had cleared and stood in the crater caused from the explosion was the creature, taking a power up stance, the creature started to scream but this wasn't the same scream as before, the creatures scream was for power.
"Woah can you sense that power, it's so dark too." Despite being on the other side of planet Yardrat Kakarot could sense an incredible dark power.
"Oh wow, that is a huge power" Florid responded.
"I know, I'm going to help. Hunter and his gang have no chance against a power like that so Master Slate might need our help."
"I would disagree with you but unfortunately I think your right"
"Okay then let's fly over now" So Kakarot and Florid took flight and headed towards the creatures new incredible power level.
Hunter, Archer and Gunner all stood trembling, they weren't ready for this type of power.
"Drop back, I'll take it from here. This thing is beyond your level now." Slate took charge.
The 3 warriors dropped back but it didn't matter, faster than their master could see, the creature rushed pass him and with a hit each Hunter, Archer and Gunner were down.
"Beyond your level, Power up, Power up, Drop back."
"No this really can't be happening, are you trying to tell me that you've just literally learned to power up by watching them three do it before. I mean that's just incredible."
"Power up, Beyond your level."
BAM! Slate wasn't messing, he took to a full on annihilation to the newly powered creature using every reserve of his power to it's full potential. His first punch was across it's face, it's head down Slate took a knee to it's head. The creature staggered back and Slate dashed forward, the creature was unable to stop the attacks it's new powers didn't help it match Slate's speed and precision of attacks that were coming. Fist, elbows, feet and knees were flying with no distinct pattern, every attack thrown hit it's target.
Slate could see an end to the fight, he was getting tired but he figured after the constant barrage of attacks this creature must be on it's last legs. Usually that would be the case but the creature in an act of self defence let of a monstrous amount of Ki from it's body sending Slate backwards.
"We need to hurry, whatever they are fighting has just doubled it's Ki. It's stronger than the Master now." Kakarot and Florid went to max speed.
"What... What are you." Slate could sense the immense energy coming from this creature. "How do you keep getting stronger."
The Creature didn't reply, it raised it's hand up in the air and formed a great ball of Ki.
"Such negative energy"
The ball grew bigger and bigger as the creature pumped more energy into the attack. Then it stopped growing and the ball of Ki was launched at Slate.
Slate prepared himself for impact, he wasn't even sure if he could stop it, but he had to. Slate grabbed hold of the huge negative energy ball his hands instantly burning, he tried to push forward but it was no good, the amount of energy in this attack was to much for him. The ground beneath him started to give way, he was fighting a losing a battle against a creature that was learning as it fought.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Florid transformed sent out a Ki beam with all her power directly towards the ball of energy, meanwhile Kakarot flew round to the distracted creature, he pumped a lot of his energy into his fist and smashed the creature directly into it's face, the creature went down hard.
Florid attack helped Slate give that extra push he needed to send the ball flying high into the air. The beam Florid fired pushed it into the atmosphere and it exploded, the force of the explosion was felt 70 miles away on the ground.
"Thank you..." Slate collapsed.
"Master Slate!" Kakarot flew over "We came as soon as we could, we could sense this thing from the other side of the world."
"Please run... Both of you just run..." Slate tried to get up using his hand but they hurt too much. "Please Kakarot, Florid... this thing it's like it's just been born. It adapts and learn quicker than any fighter I've ever known.. That attack, that ball of energy seems to be a defence mechanism as I was so close to destroying it."
The creature got up, that punch had some serious impact, it was the most pain it had felt since arriving on planet Yardrat and now it was angry.
"No way, We're not running and were definitely not leaving you or the guy's here." Kakarot faced his enemy "This thing must learn it can't just attack random innocent's and get away with it, That's what the Saviors are all about right."
Slate didn't respond, he knew even though Kakarot wasn't officially ready to be on missions or a Savior, Slate knew Kakarot was raised as a Savior since his first days of being born, and he wouldn't back down.
"Kakarot, you've got first shot at it okay. I used everything I had to send that Ki ball flying and I'll need a few minutes to regain my energy." Florid was sat with Master Slate gathering back her energy.
"Don't worry too much about gathering your energy back as I'm going to finish this."
Okay then people, What is this creature? Is Kakarot strong enough?
You'll have your answers on the next chapter, in the meanwhile as always any questions are appreciated and also of course reviews.
Hoped you enjoyed the story so far. Next chapter will be up by the 10th June.
