Sorry for not updating in a while, my life has been hectic. I have only a few minutes to update before i'm off the computer, so please enjoy the chapter! (you may be surprised at what I put Hiroki and Aaron as... just be prepared for anything)
(Hiroki P.O.V.)
The wind blows really hard, and all of the sudden I can't feel the wind. In fact, I can't feel anything! I open my eyes and see bright colors flashing, so I close them again. I can't feel any part of my body, I can't move my arms or legs. Then, I feel different. I still can't feel my arms or legs, but now I can tell they're there. I open my eyes, and I'm falling! I fall for a couple of feet and hit the ground. Years of jumping out of trees prepares me for this, and I land on my feet. I stumble and fall to the ground. At least, I think it's the ground. It's all smooth and brown. I look around, it looks like I'm in a desert. The desert suddenly stops and there's a cliff. I stand up and look around more. Aaron appeared right beside me, but he looks different. He's wearing jeans and a black muscle shirt. A denim jacket is overtop of that. He has on orange boots, and his hair is purple. It hangs over his face sloppily, like someone I know….
Trunks! He looks like trunks!
"Aaron! You look like trunks!" He stands up and looks at himself. He definitely is an uncanny lookalike of future trunks, a character from Dragonball Z. He looks at me and does a double take.
"Dude! You look like Vegeta!" I look at my hands, I'm wearing white gloves. My feet are shod in white boots. I'm wearing a dark blue jumpsuit, skin tight. But most significant is the armor I'm wearing. It's a breastplate that goes around my entire torso. White with yellow abs. Yellow straps go over my shoulders and connect to the back. If I'm like Vegeta in the game, my hair is probably black and going straight up.
"Wow! This is awesome!"
"Hey guys, like your outfits?" Jeremie's voice says.
"Jeremie? Are you here too?"
"No, I'm talking to you like I did to Odd. The computer picked the characters you would be best with. What are you?"
"Characters from the Dragonball Z game." Aaron says.
"Ha, figures." He says. "I don't have time to explain, Aelita is in trouble. You have to go save her. You weapons are-" Aaron just pointed at the ground, and energy blast shot out of his hand and hit the ground, scorching it.
"Energy blasts?"
"Yah. I don't know your powers. You have to figure that out yourself."
"We have powers?"
"Yah. They will help you in battle. You need to hurry, Aelita is being chased. I'm sending a bike and a hoverboard for you two to go on."
"Yes! This gets cooler and cooler!" I yell and jump into the air. I stay there.
"Uh, Jeremie? Scratch the vehicles. I think we can fly." I say as Aaron jumps into the air like me. He stays there, finding out he can fly too.
"Fly? No fair!" We hear Odd yelling in the background. We just laugh.
"Let's go kick Xana's butt!" I yell. Aaron and I fly off in the direction Jeremie tells us. As we fly, a white aura appears around the both of us, but it doesn't impair our vision at all. We see a large red… thing… moving along below us. I dive down to get a better look.
"Hiroki, that's a crab. It has lasers on the front that take away ten life points at a time if they hit you. To destroy it, hit the symbol on the top that looks like an eye. That's it's weak spot." Jeremie says. I dive lower and see the crab is chasing Aelita across the desert floor. At least, it looks like Aelita, she looks like an elf. I take aim, and shoot an energy blast at the crab. It hits the shell, but not the eye. The crab stops and looks up. It fires a laser at me, which I dodge. I take careful aim and fire again. This time it hits the mark and the crab explodes.
"That was cool!" Aaron yells from above.
"Watch out guys, there's a lot more coming!" Jeremie says. I look over and see three more crabs coming at us fast. I dive at the first one and take a shot, this one hits perfectly and it explodes. I land on top of the next one. The other crab fires at me and knocks me off. My arm starts sparking, but I don't feel any pain. I just know I'm hurt. I fly back on top and think for a second. I concentrate harder, and aim away from the symbol. If I'm right, I can do more damage by 'charging up' my energy blast. I fire, it hits the crab away from the symbol. The crab explodes anyway. I jump off just as Aaron destroys the third one. Aelita, or who I think is Aelita, runs away. I look to where she's headed, there's a large cylindrical shaped building with a red aura around it.
"Thanks Hiroki!" She yells at me as she runs past.
"She's leaving?" I say to Aaron, who just shrugs his shoulders at me. I look back to the tower, only to see a new monster step out from behind it. Different than the others, it has one large body, like an insects. Four large single-jointed metallic legs protrude from the center, two in the front and two in the back. The legs are silver, but just past the 'knees,' they get wider in diameter, also changing color to a darker metallic gray.
Those must be it's guns. Holy crap, it has four guns!
"Aelita stop! It's a tarantula!" Jeremie yells, Aelita stops quickly and backs away. The tarantula sort of… sits down. It braces one leg against the ground and puts the other two ready to fire. Aelita sits down.
"Aelita! Run away!" I yell. Aaron and I fly toward her fast. She begins to sing. I think she's lost her mind. Just before the tarantula fires, a wall appears. Aelita must have made it. As the lasers pound into the wall, Aaron and I go to fight the new monster. The tarantula turns and fires at us. One laser hits me and knocks me out of the air. Aaron isn't so lucky. He gets hit by at least five, and he disappears.
"What happened to Aaron?"
"He lost all his life points. Nothing to worry about he's back here with us now." The tarantula fires at the wall again, and it shatters. Suddenly, a large creature that looks like a jellyfish comes out from behind a rock. It has a large clear head that is connected to a small purple base. It has a lot of clear tentacles protruding from it. It moves towards Aelita and grabs her. She goes completely stiff and has a pink glow around her.
"Hiroki hurry! That creature is stealing all of Aelita's memories! You have to cut off it's tentacles!" Jeremie yells at me.
"Why not just destroy it?" I ask as I fly over at top speed.
"Because it has too many life points. It would take a huge hit to destroy it." I stop because I had an idea. An idea that I liked. I drop to the ground and extend one hand, palm open and fingers straight. I charge up my energy blast.
"Hiroki, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to destroy it."
"No! You can't! Just hurry up and free Aelita!"
"Hold on Jeremie, just trust me on this." I say. I think my blast is big enough now. My hand is glowing yellow with all the energy. Just for fun, I yell out the name of Vegeta's best move.
"Big Bang Attack!" I yell and release the energy. A huge ball of red crackling energy flies over and hits the creature. It hits squarely and the creature explodes. Aelita falls to the ground.
"Hiroki! You did it!" Aelita says as soon as she gets up.
"Hiroki, you have one last thing to take care of: the tarantula. And you have to do it quickly or Yumi could die." Jeremie says.
"What?"
"Xana took control of Ulrich and used him to attack Yumi. He's hurting her right now. As soon as Aelita turns off the tower, Ulrich will stop."
Yumi!
I get mad at Xana for trying to hurt Yumi. I glare at the tarantula which is coming at me fast.
"You mess with Yumi, you mess with me!" I yell. Suddenly, my aura changes color, it turns a golden color. I feel really mad. I look over at Aelita, who is staring at me.
"Hiroki, you're different!" Aelita says to me. "You hair has turned yellow!" I don't respond, I just keep looking at the tarantula. I still know exactly what this is, I've transformed into a super saiyan. When some characters from the game get mad, they go super saiyan, giving them enhanced powers. Super strength, speed, and agility make them a practically indestructible warrior.
"Aelita, find some cover. This is going to be messy." I say calmly. Aelita nods and runs behind the large boulder that the jellyfish creature came out from. I begin to run at the approaching tarantula. Slowly at first, then faster and faster. I'm running faster than I have ever before. When I reach top speed, I jump into the air and fly.
I fly fast towards the oncoming tarantula, my aura is glowing golden now. I fly at a super fast speed, right past the tarantula. I drop to the ground behind it, staring calmly at it. It turns around and prepares to fire, I still just stare at it. It seems to be moving extremely slowly. It fires multiple rounds, but they seem to be going in slow motion. I dodge each one. I run forward, forgetting about my energy blasts, and punch the tarantula right in the head. I feel the metallic skull crack and buckle underneath my punch, but it does not break. Instead the tarantula goes flying forty feet away, landing and skidding until it's about fifty feet away from me. Without waiting, I begin charging my energy blast.
"Hey Xana. Here's a tip…." I say, still charging. The tarantula looks at me inquisitively, and prepares to fire more lasers.
"Stay away from my sister!" I yell. The tarantula begins to fire many lasers, I release all the pent up energy inside me. The massive blast flies quickly towards the tarantula, incinerating all the tarantula's lasers. It hits the tarantula full-on, destroying it instantly, also destroying a lot of the land around it. There's literally a crater were the tarantula used to be. I fly at supersonic speeds to Aelita and drop down beside her.
"Aelita, now's your chance." I say. I pick her up and fly her to the tower. "Save my sister." She nods and runs into the tower. All of the sudden, I'm exhausted. I drop out of super saiyan, my aura turning back to white. I drop to the ground, laying there.
"Jeremie? What happens now?"
"We fix everything, it all goes back to normal. And unfortunately, you won't remember a thing." He says.
"Why not?"
"Just because. That's what happens."
"Oh well, maybe that's a good thing. I don't really want to have to save the world all the time. I don't know how you guys do it." I say.
"Thanks Hiroki, for everything." Jeremie says.
"Anytime." I say. I look back at the tower that Aelita entered. A large white light bursts from it, and immediately hits me. Then everything goes white.
Explanation for Dragonball Z stuff: I was feeling lazy. My brother was watching a dragonball Z movie, I had already established that they knew about the game... so I just went with it. I thought the super saiyan thing was pretty cool though. read and review, tell me what you thought!
