Chapter 7: Kyringan
Lynx smiled wildly as she flew through the sky, seemingly oblivious to Lexi's worried, almost terrified expression on her face, as the robot holding her captive mindlessly followed the somewhat cheerful, but just as troublesome Neko.
Worry coursed through the only full-blooded female Saiyan in existence. It had been years since she had last had an up front confrontation with Clawness. She had spent years, ducking and avoiding the tenacious feline, and wanted to keep it that way. After what the green-eyed feline had put her through, seeing the woman after all these years wouldn't be healthy for her mental state.
A somber look appeared on Lexi's face. I've spent years jumping from planet to planet, trying to escape Clawness' clutches, but... I don't want to leave.
This was the first time she had ever thought that. Usually she'd have left without a second thought, not looking back. But now that she had found the remains of her nearly extinct race, she found herself unwilling to leave.
"Don't look so worried."
Lexi frowned and glared at Lynx, who was now smirking back at the young Saiyan. "I don't know why you look so scared. Clawness only wants to utilize you to your full potential. You'll accomplish nothing sticking around those weaklings on this mudball."
Lexi scowled thickly. "If you think I'll let you assholes use me as some kind of puppet to do your dirty work, you're sadly mistaken! I want nothing to do with any of you!"
Lynx chuckled at that, finding the young woman's hostility amusing. "Too bad honey. You don't have a choice I'm afria-"
Lynx was cut off by the sight of a monstrous, blue dome-like explosion that erupted from the earth in the distance. Lynx's blue eyes widened in horror, gaping slightly at the destruction she was witnessing. Lexi fell deadly silent, as the explosion created a large mushroom cloud that rose into the sky, the flashes of blue lightning that crackled inside the mushroom cloud, reflecting off her wide silver eyes.
A powerful gale force of wind swiped across the area, buffeting against the two, forcing the white-furred feline to cover her face.
Once the wind had past, Lynx lowered her arms, albeit shakily. That's where Lady Clawness is! Oh I hope she's alright!
Lexi gulped, refraining from speaking. What the hell was that?!
The Saiyan and the Neko were so shaken by what they saw, that they never noticed Uub's masked companion White Rose, watching them from below, controlled rage evident in her intense icy blue eyes.
. . . .
Pan soared through the sky in a streak of white, her black eyes widening when she caught sight of the large dome-like explosion from afar.
"What was that?" the quarter Saiyan wondered, covering her face when a powerful gust of wind buffeted against her.
Once it past, Pan sped up, worry evident on her facial features.
I'd better hurry! Whatever that explosion was couldn't be good!
. . . .
A few minutes earlier:
Irritation and rising anger coursed through Clawness, making Igne and Kizu tense, gulping in fear. They could sense the rage rolling off of the green-skinned feline and it didn't bode well for anyone in her range of sight. Clawness could be downright ruthless once she lost all sense of reasoning.
"What are you two standing around for?" Kizu and Igne gulped at the growl in Clawness' tone. They didn't dare look back at the woman. "Kill this insect now!"
"Yes ma'am!" Igne answered evenly, stamping out his fear for the female feline, resting his large hammer on his broad right shoulder as he glowered at the human girl.
"You are gonna regret ever speaking to Lady Clawness in such a way human!" Kizu spat, slamming his fists together, flames creeping up his gauntlets and arms, his large canines bared threateningly at the woman.
Rin remained unfazed, her fingers hovering over the trigger of her shot gun that was still inside its holster. In fact she almost looked bored.
"Hey!"
Rin looked back, eyeing Vegeta with a flat stare as he glared at her.
"This is my fight brat!" the Prince snapped, annoyed by the young woman's appearance. "I don't need help beating these fur-balls. Get lo-"
Vegeta's next words were caught in his throat, as he found himself staring down the double barrels of Rin's shotgun.
Rin leveled the former Prince of all Saiyans with a look of sheer contempt, that made Vegeta twitch in anger. He could almost feel her looking down on him. The nerve! How dare this woman look down on me! I am Prince Vegeta! No one looks down on me!
"One," Rin stated, her icy, pale blue eyes boring into Vegeta. "Get your bloody hands off my Harley."
Vegeta resisted the urge to sweat-drop, and feeling a touch vindictive, dragged his hands off the women's motorcycle, leaving bloody tracks on the seat of her Harley. He smirked at the way the woman's eyes narrowed. "Two, stay out of my way and I won't kill you."
The smirk slipped off Vegeta's face, replaced with an irritated scowl. "Why you!"
"You're in no condition to fight right now," Rin stated. "You're a liability."
Vegeta suddenly felt like strangling the girl. Who the hell does she think she is talking to a prince like that?! Doesn't she realise he could kill her without a second thought?!
Vegeta's black eyes widened when Kizu appeared behind the woman, a manic grin on his face and his fists blazing with flames.
A shockwave suddenly tore through the area, sending Vegeta flying off his feet. Rin's Harley somehow stayed strong despite its close vicinity to the shockwave.
Vegeta looked up, his eyes widening at the sight before him. "W-What the...?!"
Rin had clashed fists with Kizu using her free hand, which had made a shockwave that tore through the land. Kizu stared into Rin's icy blue eyes, his red eyes wide with shock. He caught sight of a pair of black metal futuristic-looking gauntlets that had just finished crawling over her hands, and up her arms, complete with a pair of metal elbow-guards that curled around her elbows, pushing up the sleeves of her jacket.
Draconic looking spikes protruded out of the gauntlets in a line, an intricate pattern of bright blue tron-like lines glowing brightly all over the woman's gauntlets.
And it didn't stop there. Black metal wrapped itself around her knee-length stilettos, completely covering them, with matching blue tron lines and spikes, five in total, which traveled all the way down the back of her legs. She also wore a matching pair of knee-guards that matched her elbow pads.
All in all, it was a very intimidating sight.
Vegeta stared frozen in shock. B-But that's impossible!
Vegeta wasn't sure if he was just imagining it or not. But he could sense a familiar wallop of energy radiating from the girl's metallic armor and it made him incredibly nervous. Whatever was powering Rin's armor, was not any ordinary energy source, like what was used for space-blasters.
Ki. Pure concentrated ki pulsated through the women's gauntlets and armored boots, and seemed to shoot through her entire body, as if unlocking her potential power, and strengthening her natural ki, acting as some kind of booster.
Vegeta couldn't believe it. Someone has managed to weaponize Ki?!
Bulma has been diving deeper into the workings of ki for years, trying to use it or even weaponize ki, so it could be used in weapons, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't figure it out. But knowing that someone out there had managed to do it, and successfully at that, worried him immensely. Whoever it was, was even smarter than Bulma and that scared him! Damn humans and their curious meddling!
Rin glared at Kizu, her fist still pressing against his large flaming ones. Kizu scowled in frustration as the ground seemed to cave in on itself beneath their feet, the rocky surface splitting and cracking, from the two foreboding energies clashing in such a small space.
"You little brat!" Kizu snarled, raising his free flaming fist, looking to bring the burning large fist down on the woman.
Rin's narrowed her icy blue eyes before tossing her shotgun up in the air. Distracted, Kizu looked up, watching in confusion as the gun twirled and twirled, climbing higher and higher into the air.
"Wha- AUGH!"
Silence cut through the entire area as Kizu's eyes suddenly rolled into the back of his skull, his stomach caving in on itself as Rin buried her fist deep into the large feral feline's gut, the blue tron lines on her gauntlets glowing ominously.
Kizu felt a few of his ribs crack before finding himself being blown backwards, the powerful punch blowing the Pallas cat off his feet. The large cat slammed violently into a large pillar of rock, causing it to crumble on top of him.
Igne looked back at where his twin had crashed, his red eyes wide in horror. Kizu hadn't moved, his eyes completely blank and his mouth hanging open, unconscious. "B-Brother!"
Clawness simply looked on in silent shock, her eyes wide, while Vegeta openly gaped. Still unfazed, Rin relaxed her stance, catching her gun.
Igne slowly fixed his eyes on the silent, black-haired woman, his red eyes shrinking in pure rage. A low, guttural growl rumbled from his large chest as he bared his teeth at her threateningly.
"You..." Flames seemed to crawl out of his large maw and around his face, the temperature rising around him. "You! HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!"
With that, Igne shot forward violently with a powerful roar, leaving a burning crater behind as he pulled his large war-hammer, that seemed to burst into flames, back with ferocious intensity.
Rin's eyes narrowed as she placed her shotgun back in its holster. Crouching slightly, the ground suddenly caved in underneath her feet, as a surge of ki shot through her legs, before shooting forwards with the same ferocity as Igne, a cold but wild gleam in her icy pale blue eyes.
The two closed the distance on one another in a second, Igne swinging his hammer wildly. Rin jumped, completely avoiding Igne's mad swing.
She snapped her leg out, connecting with Igne's large and flaming forearm that he had raised to block the strike.
A shockwave thundered throughout the area from the impact, the strength and power behind the blow forcing Igne to slide a few inches back across the rocky terrain.
Rin was calm and collected, her heeled boots stabbing into the Pallas cat's flaming forearm. The large cat snarled thickly at her, and with a swipe of his arm, sent the young woman flying back.
Rin twirled through the air, managing to control her flight enough to flip backwards through the sky, planting her feet on the side of a high cliff-face. Igne reappeared instantly in front of the woman, flames flickering violently off his body, his large flaming hammer, pulled back over his shoulder with wide, red eyes of burning rage.
A roar tore through his lips as he swung the flaming object at Rin. The woman disappeared from sight, moving too quick for normal vision to follow, and effortlessly avoiding the rage-filled Neko.
The entire cliff-face promptly exploded, as Igne violently slammed his large, flaming hammer into the side of the cliff, ingulfing the cliff in an inferno of flames that swallowed it whole.
Clawness looked on with a scowl of irritation as the entire cliff burned to the ground, with Igne among the flames, his eyes glowing a ruby red. Vegeta watched with a stern calmness, now beginning to get over his shock towards the new arrival. It was obvious by now that Rin was a highly skilled fighter.
"Igne!" Clawness called out. "Calm yourself!"
But Igne refused to heed Clawness' words, making her release a sharp growl of frustration. The rage-filled Pallas cat watched with his canines bared savagely as Rin landed quite a few paces away from him.
He released a loud hiss of rage, as Rin stared him down with a look of silent contempt. Igne suddenly shot forward, the flames around him flickering violently as he barreled towards Rin, moving so fast he appeared as a red angry blur.
Rin narrowed her eyes, before following suit, moving in a blur and closing the distance between herself and the alien cat.
Shockwaves rang throughout the area as Rin collided with the Neko in a fast-paced battle, moving so incredibly fast that they appeared in many different areas in the span of a second. The earth shuddered with each shockwave. Multiple parts of the ground and the side of cliff-faces exploded, leaving bits of debris flying everywhere.
Vegeta watched, heavily intrigued as he managed to keep pace with the fight, watching as Rin managed to keep pace with the large Pallas cat, somehow in part due to the ki-infused armor she wore. Who is this woman?
A particular loud shockwave exploded in the sky, and a moment later, an explosion rocked the earth, a geyser of smoke shooting into the air from the impact. Rin leaped out of the smoke, her blue eyes focused and narrowed as she slid across the ground on her feet.
In the next moment, Igne shot out of the large plume of smoke with a guttural roar, one of his large canines missing, He flipped through the air as he descended down at Rin, rage still evident on his face, building momentum with his flaming war-hammer held high over his head, swinging downwards at the black-haired woman with wild abandon.
The flaming weapon, violently slammed into the surface, splitting the ground apart, as a stream of flames erupted from the earth. Rin leaped into the air, rolling, and planting her feet firmly onto Igne's large shoulders.
The Pallas cat froze, his red eyes widening as he found himself staring down the double barrels of Rin's shotgun.
Rin's pale blue eyes glowed with malice intensity, making Igne's fur ripple with fear, his red eyes wide with shock, now realising his mistake. He had allowed his emotions and rage over seeing his brother being taken out, to consume him so easily, that he had lost the ability to think clearly, allowing Rin to take advantage. And from the look in the woman's eyes, she wasn't the merciful type... just like Clawness.
"Die," Rin growled, before pulling the trigger. "Kyringan!"
Vegeta felt a large surge of ki being unleashed upon the earth and Igne, before everything and the surrounding area was swallowed up in a massive blue dome of destruction.
. . . .
Present time:
"W-What was that?!" Lynx stuttered, her blue eyes zeroed in on the large mushroom cloud in the distance.
Lexi gulped. An explosion like that had to have been produced by a large amount of ki. She had also sensed the disappearance of an unknown life force within the same second. All in all that was a very powerful attack.
Lynx bit her lip. While she wanted to deliver Lexi to Clawness, she wasn't keen on running into whoever had launched such a powerful attack. Because that was definitely not a Clawness attack. Nor was it one of the Pallas twins attacks. Was the prince responsible?
Trepidation clamped down on the feline at the thought of the stuck up Prince getting the upper-hand on Clawness and the Pallas twins, coming to the frightening realisation that she didn't know the limit of his power.
I can't waste any more time. I have to-
"LEXI!"
Lynx flinched, her ears twitching at the sudden explanation, before whirling around with wide eyes.
The Neko found herself being tackled out of the sky by Pan, both women plummeting to the ground at dangerous speeds and slamming into it with tremendous impact, causing an explosion of dust and shattered rock.
Lexi looked on with wide eyes, as Lynx jumped out of the smoke with an irritated scowl, Pan not so far behind, bursting out of the smoke and launching her fist at the Neko, her dark eyes wide with rage.
The quarter Saiyan's fist collided with Lynx's forearm, annoyed blue eyes clashing with enraged dark eyes.
"You got past Scratchy hmm?" the Neko drawled, a smile stretching across her face, her eyes narrowing as she noticed the woman's injuries.
"You're damn right I did!" Pan growled. "Now release Lexi!"
Lynx hummed before swiping at the woman, making her duck. The two women engage in a flurry of fast-paced offense, their fists and legs flying at a rapid pace, kicking and punching at each other.
Lexi watched from up above, still in the tight grip of her robotic captive, her eyes wide at the sight of Pan ferociously battling Lynx. Pan... she actually got past that guy?!
Lynx dodged Pan's fist, viciously kicking the quarter Saiyan in her bruised stomach, making her slide back on her feet, kicking up a trail of dust. Pan flinched, a small grunt of pain slipping past her lips as she favoured her already injured stomach.
"Oh?" Lynx drawled, a smirk of amusement on her face as she lowered her foot. "Did that hurt?"
Pan snarled through her clenched teeth as Lynx's smirk widened a tad.
"I don't know how you got past Scratchy, but you won't get past me," Lynx bragged, making a growl of annoyance rumble through Pan's chest.
"We'll see about that!" Pan snapped, before releasing a loud roar, ki pumping through her veins as her power level rose significantly, a white aura pulsating around her form.
Lynx raised an eyebrow, sensing a shift in the air.
"No more messing around Pan. Get serious."
Pan breathed in deeply, and released, her long hair whipping wildly around her as Uub's words replayed through her mind.
Instantly, Pan shot forward, making Lynx's eyes widen slightly at the girl's slight increase in speed. Lynx ducked the first roundhouse kick that swung for her head, proceeding to block and dodge Pan's next combo of high speed attacks.
Mini shockwaves pounded throughout the area as Pan relentlessly attacked the blue-eyed Neko. Pan ducked low, as Lynx broke through her defense, swinging her leg at her head. Pan spun with her leg out, swiping Lynx's legs from underneath her.
The exotic Neko gasped, as her feet left the ground, nimbly flipping onto one hand and leaping right back onto her feet, creating some distance between herself and the quarter Saiyan.
An amused smirk was on her face as Pan glared at her. "You're good."
"What do you expect. I am part Saiyan," Pan retorted.
Lynx's smirk widened, a slightly crazed gleam in her previously innocent-looking blue eyes, as she tilted her head at Pan. "I'm enjoying that fiery look in your eyes right now. How about we raise the stakes a bit."
Pan's eyes narrowed at that. "What do you mean?"
Lynx simply smiled, before pulling out a strange device, that Pan had never seen before. She pressed the green button on the device, and instantly, the thrusters attached to the robot that held Lexi captive roared to life.
"LEXI!" Pan cried out with wide eyes, as the bot sped off, with Lexi releasing a startled shriek.
Pan released a frustrated growl, before launching herself into the sky, cloaked in a blazing white aura as she chased after the quickly escaping robot, holding her hand out desperately. "Hang on Lexi!"
"PAN! I'LL BE FINE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!" Lexi replied, looking back at the woman with a smile as the bot got further and further away from her.
Pan's eyes widened at that. Before she could respond, Lynx suddenly appeared in front of the woman with a wide grin on her face, catching Pan completely off guard. A swift kick caught Pan in the side of her cheek, sending her plummeting back down to earth, where she slammed into the ground with vicious force, the impact causing an explosion of dust and debris.
Lynx looked back, her smirk widening as she saw that Lexi was now well and truly completely out of Pan's reach. She looked down as the smoke began to clear, revealing Pan getting to her feet. She looked up at Lynx with a rage-filled scowl, her black eyes wide and feral. A line of blood, was seen traveling down the right side of her face, a cut barely visible behind her bangs. "Why you..."
"Lexi is now on route to Clawness," Lynx revealed. "If you want to get to her, you'll have to get past me. Something tells me you won't make it to your precious friend in time."
Pan released a growl of anger. "You're going to regret getting in my way."
"I beg to differ," Lynx drawled, greatly amused by Pan's anger.
What both women failed to notice, was White Rose, watching their battle from where she stood on top of a high pillar. Her pale blue eyes glowed from within her mask, shining with bubbling rage at the sight of Pan.
"So we finally cross paths, Pan Son," she growled, spitting out Pan's family name with an air of disgust and rage.
And that, my lovely readers, was Chapter 7. I hope you enjoyed Rin's battle. Vegeta obviously could have handled it on his own, but you know how Saiyans can be sometimes. They mess around too much. I hope you're all enjoying the White Rose character so far. I wonder what her deal is with Pan? Of course I know what her deal is! But you, the readers, have no clue what-so-ever. Don't worry. All will be revealed in time. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this double chapter. Hopefully I'll be able to get the next Chapter out a bit quicker, but for now...
(Also if anyone is worried about Making a Name for Yourself, no, I haven't giving up on it. I'm just doing some major editing! P.S ENJOY WWE EVOLUTION! I KNOW I WILL!)
'Goodbye, and Goodnight! BANG!'
