Yamcha and Tien stared cautiously at their opponent who stood on a rocky ridge above them. Beads of sweat dripped down their noses, some from nerves, but mostly from the room's temperature, which felt like they were in the middle of the desert.
Yamcha: Tell us who you are and while you're at it, can you lower the temperature in here? It's hot as hell!
Dragfu: My name is Dragfu and no can do pretty boy. This room stays at a constant 100 degrees, as to my liking.
Dragfu jumped down from his perch and landed roughly on his feet. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a small button and pressed it. The room shook violently as another metal door shut behind the two warriors.
Tien: Damnit. How did we fall for this again?
Dragfu: You seem to be gluttons for punishment.
Tien: You're about to understand that feeling soon enough. Dodon Ray!
Tien's ki burned through his fingertips as he fired his signature move at the alien. Once again, Dragfu didn't move away from the blast. The Dodon Ray hit him in his chest, threatening to pierce through him. However, it started to fizzle out, fading into nothingness. Dragfu licked his lips and dusted the scratch.
Dragfu: Well that was pointless.
Tien: Impossible! He took the full force of my attack. How can he still be standing?
Yamcha: Maybe our ki attacks don't affect him. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense how he can still be standing after two Kamehamehas and a Dodon Ray.
Dragfu: My turn boys.
Dragfu's skin began to glow, intensifying his already red skin, bathing the room in its light. The heat in the room began to rise more and more.
Tien: What is he doing? At this rate, we'll be fried.
Yamcha: We better take him out quickly then.
Yamcha balled a fist and shot first towards the glowing alien. Before his punch could land, he was smacked with a wave of heat and sent flying back. Catching himself in the air, he charged in again to connect his fist to Dragfu's face. A red blur intercepted him, interrupting his flight path. He barely managed to dodge. He turned around to see Dragfu behind him, fist extended and glowing intensely still. Yamcha felt a slight sting on his face, as if something burned him. Thinking not to push his luck further, he descended back down to Tien.
Dragfu: Ahh you're pretty fast on your feet. Too bad you're still too slow compared to me.
Yamcha: Watch out Tien…this guy is crazy fast.
Tien: Yeah, but how strong is he is the question. Let's charge him together.
Yamcha nodded and launched another ki-fist attack on Dragfu. Dragfu caught his punch, Yamcha letting out a pained cry, and connected one of his own to Yamcha's gut. He didn't know that Yamcha was the distraction however, and was knocked to the ground by a double fisted attack from behind from Tien.
Tien: That seemed to work. Are you okay?
Yamcha: Not really man. When he grabbed my fist, I think he left me some serious burns. I don't think I can use my left fist anymore.
Tien: Damn. Yeah he singed a hole in your shirt as well…Heat…I wonder…
Dragfu lifted himself off the ground and rubbed his head. That attack really hurt him. "Obviously, the bald one is the stronger of the two. I should focus on taking him out first." Eyeing Tien down, Dragfu threw out a taunt, signaling Tien to come at him.
Dragfu: You. Three-eyes. Come at me now.
Tien: Ha. Feeling a bit sore you got played just now? Alright, bring it.
They both assaulted each other, two fists colliding. Tien's muscles rippled as he fought the urge to back down. His resolve was beginning to falter due to the fact a burning sensation was enveloping his whole fist. "Who the hell is this guy!?" Realizing it was futile to keep this up, he feinted a right hook, catching Dragfu off guard, and then slamming his knee into his unsuspecting opponent. Dragfu choked on the pain in his gut.
Dragfu: Damnit…That's…it…You're going to pay.
Regaining his composure with a sigh, the red glow he had died down. It became eerily quiet. The heat that once surrounded them was cold down to their bones. The two warriors stayed ready though, knowing that something bad was definitely about to come.
Opening his eyes, Dragfu's power shot up with a loud bang. The light emanating from his body blinded Yamcha and Tien to the point where they had to shield their eyes. Dragfu rushed at Tien and jabbed him in his stomach, revenge for the blow he received. Tien doubled over in pain, trying to stay aware. However, the light was hard to look past and the extreme heat had returned, worse than before.
Dragfu: Get ready human! Taste my Heat Tornado!
His body started to vibrate to the point he was moving so fast he looked invisible. Tien was not ready when a rain of punches and kicks started assaulting his body. Each blow that landed left a severe burn.
Yamcha: Tien! Hang on man! I'm coming!
Dragfu: Like hell you are!
Dragfu stopped his onslaught for a second to send a strong kiai blast on Yamcha, sending flying into the ground. Tien seized this opportunity and brought his hands to his eyes.
Tien: Solar Flare!
Dragfu shrieked as his eyes nearly popped out of his face. He reeled back, not expecting an incoming Spirit Ball from Yamcha, sending him flying into the ceiling.
Yamcha: Got him! Can't let up now!
Tien: You're right! Tri-Beam!
Still blinded and being pummeled by the Spirit Ball, Dragfu got slammed by a Tien's blast, sending him deeper into the cave's ceiling. It was too much for the cave to handle and it rocky foundation started to crumble, rocks burying the alien menace.
Yamcha: We have to get out of here now!
Tien: Look! We can leave out of that hole in the ceiling. It leads to outside.
…
Chiaotzu had one of the Pomeg twins pinned down with telekinesis, glaring down at him with intense eyes.
Pomeg 1: Well for a runt, you're pretty strong.
Chiaotzu: Or you're just weak.
Krillin: Yeah, wait 'til I get out of here! I'll take you down.
Pomeg 2: Oh you're not getting out anytime soon. You're stuck there until I say so.
Chiaotzu: I'll get you out Krillin…as soon as I take this guy down.
Krillin: Chiaotzu look out!
An unforeseen foot slammed Chiaotzu onto his face, freeing his opponent underneath
Pomeg 3: Try again, runt!
