SHONEN ALLIANCE
CHAPTER 8
A Shocking Battle part 2
DEATH MATCH
Zoro charged directly at Teresa, swinging with two of his blades. Teresa raised her sword and blocked both attacks. Stepping to the side, she moved swiftly past Zoro who was just able to raise his sword to deflect a fierce slashing attack.
"What did you do to Clare!" Zoro demanded as the two stared each other down.
"What do you mean? What did I do to Clare? After what you did, you dare ask that of me!" Teresa responded.
"You're insane! I have no idea what you're talking about! We haven't done anything to Clare!" Zoro shouted.
"You can't lie to me! I know all about your so little, alliance and what you've been doing!" Teresa replied.
"There's no point in talking to you!" Zoro shouted charging at Teresa. The two lashed out with attacks so fierce that the shockwave of the clashing swords caused the grass around them to sway.
….
Ichigo and Clare were both kneeling on the ground catching their breath. Ichigo looked up at Clare.
"Clare! Talk to us! What the heck are you doing!" Ichigo shouted.
"That's none… of your concern," Clare responded.
"What do you mean its none of my concern!" Ichigo shouted rising to his feet, "sure, I'll give you that we don't really know each other that well, but we're still on the same side! If we can't trust each other, then what's the point of having our butts dragged all the way out here!"
"Shut up!" Clare shouted as an aura of Yoki aura burst around her. Her eyes turned bright yellow and her face began to change until it looked almost more like the face of a monster then of a woman!
"This isn't good!" Ichigo shouted pointing Zangetsu out in front of him, "BANKAI!" A wave of black energy washed over him transforming his Zangetsu sword into his Tosen Zangetsu Bankai. The two warriors vanished. The sound of steel clashing against steel rang out as the two warriors continued their fierce battle at top speed.
Ichigo reappeared first hovering several feet above the ground! "Getsuga Tensho!" he shouted swinging his sword down and firing a blade of black energy at the ground below, just as Clare reappeared right under the blast. Clare swung her sword and blocked the blast, but was knocked off of her feet as she did so. Ichigo charged her while she was open and stabbed for her head.
….
A jolt of electricity shocked Goku as he fired a blast of energy at Cell.
"Gahhh! That thing is so cheap!" Naruto shouted jumping up in the air as Frieza's blast hit the ground where he'd been standing.
"Gum Gum Battle Axe!" Luffy shouted kicking Frieza in the head from above. Extending his leg, he slammed his opponent into the ground creating a small crater. Frieza rose to his feet and faced Naruto and Luffy.
"Annoying insects!" he shouted charging at them.
"Gum Gum pistol!" Luffy shouted punching at him. Frieza dodged the attack and kicked Luffy in the side of the head. Luffy's neck stretched several feet to the side, then snapped back, delivering a fierce head butt to Frieza who was knocked off of his feet by the force of the impact.
"Clone Spinning Axe Kick!" Naruto shouted as Four Naruto clones dropped down from above landing axe kick attacks on Frieza's shoulders and head. Frieza jumped back.
"You miserable rats! That hurt! That actually hurt!" he shouted angrily.
"Frieza, those chumps are making you look like a fool!" Cell declared. As he spoke, Goku made his move, kicking Cell skyward. Exerting as much energy as he safely could, Goku used instant Transmission to warp above Cell and slam him back into the ground.
"KAME! HAME!" Goku shouted warping again so that he was standing right in front of Cell who had just clambered to his feet, "HAAAAAAAAAA!" Goku fired his energy blast at point blank range obliterating Cell. The expended energy caused Goku to crumple to the ground has his blonde hair turned black. He coughed and began gasping for breath. His energy reserves were running dangerously low. If he didn't build up more energy soon, he'd bottom out! Still coughing and panting he looked up. His Kamehameha wave had done its job. Nothing was left of Cell. Goku knew that if he had left anything, Cell would have just regenerated and come back stronger. He couldn't have afforded to hold back.
"So, got rid of Cell did you," Frieza said smiling as Naruto and Luffy looked back at Goku, "used up quite a bit of energy to do it though. You'd better build up more so you can transform back into a Super Sayin. You can't hope to defeat me at your current level."
"Is that right?" Goku panted, "I may not have to. Luffy and Naruto have been working you over pretty well. Now that I'm in the fight to, the energy I have left should be more then enough to do the job."
"Really. Are you sure, because I'm pretty sure you put almost everything you had into that attack, but if your certain, then your more then welcome to try," Frieza replied smiling wickedly.
"Gum Gum Jet Pistol!" Luffy shouted as his arm stretched out so fastly, it disappeared. The fierce attack caught Frieza in the stomach causing him to double over.
"Clone Body Slam!" Naruto cried out throwing a Shadow Clone at Frieza. The Clone slammed head first into Frieza's face knocking him onto his back.
"We may not be as strong as Goku…" Luffy shouted.
"but when we use our attacks in the right sequence and work together, we can be just as much of a threat!" Naruto finished.
"Now! Gum Gum Gattling!"
"Rasengan Barrage!"
….
Zoro stepped aside as Teresa's stab attack flashed past him. He followed up with a slash, but Teresa jumped over his sword. When she landed, they both had their backs turned to each other. Both warriors quickly turned, attacking as they did. The blades clashed together creating a ferocious shockwave.
"Not bad for a man," Teresa stated.
"Heh, you're not half bad yourself!" Zoro replied, "but I can't afford to fail! Sorry!" With that, he pushed back as hard as he could, forcing Teresa to jump back to avoid losing her balance. When Teresa fell back, Zoro made his move leaping towards the remote laying on the ground. He leapt at it and slashed but just before the blade sliced the device, Teresa moved between Zoro and his target, blocking the attack with her sword.
"To bad, you were really close," Teresa declared.
"I'm not finished yet. I will break that remote, and when I do I'm going to put an end to you!" Zoro declared.
"I guess we'll find out soon enough, won't we," Teresa replied as the two warriors charged at each other.
….
Frieza had been brought to his knees. "I… I will not be defeated by the likes of you!" he shouted firing a barrage of Death beams at Naruto and Luffy. The two heroes leapt away, dodging all of the blasts.
"Gum Gum Jet Bazooka!" Luffy shouted attacking so quickly that his arms seemed to disappear. Frieza once again dropped to his knees as the attack hit him in the stomach. Goku appeared in front of him.
"Kamehameha!" Goku shouted firing the largest Kamehameha wave he could muster with his remaining energy. Frieza was obliterated by the attack and Goku dropped to his knees completely exhausted.
"Phew," Goku replied after a few moments catching his breath, "I didn't think we could pull it off. Nice work you two. You're pretty strong."
"Well, like we said, we may not be as strong as you, but when we use a bit of strategy, we can be just as dangerous!" Naruto shouted raising his fist into the sky.
"That's right," Luffy declared, "now, we need to get the device off of you, fast."
"Not so fast!" a voice called out. The three heroes turned to see Frieza, badly injured but still standing! "That was close. If you had any more energy left, you probably would have defeated me!"
"Darn it, I didn't have enough juice," Goku declared looking grim.
"Now, all of you, prepare to die!" Frieza shouted raising his fingers and forming a Death Ball.
"No!" Goku shouted, "get out of the way!"
"Gum Gum Pistol!" Luffy shouted punching Frieza in the face. Frieza looked up with an enraged look on his face.
"That is the last time any of you will lay so much as a finger on the mighty Frieza!" Frieza shouted as the Death Ball grew in size until it was almost ten times its original size! Then Frieza threw the attack at Goku, Luffy, and Naruto!
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as hundreds of shadow clones appeared and jumped at the ball of energy. Every clone that touched the Death Ball exploded on contact.
"Oh man! Oh man! Oh man!" Luffy shouted.
"Darn it! Move!" Naruto shouted.
"There's no time!" Goku shouted rising to his feet. The ball hit it's target and was knocked skyward!
"What!" Frieza shouted as his Death Ball flew harmlessly into the sky and exploded. Goku stood in front of Naruto and Luffy. His hair was yellow and his right hand was pointed skyward! He had transformed into a Super Sayin at the last second and deflected the blast!
"Bold move sayin, but I'm sure I don't have to remind you what happens now," Frieza declared grinning as the device on Goku's back activated. Goku yelled out as a massive surge of electricity corsed through his body. He clutched at his heart and dropped to his knees, completely drained.
"That electricity is starting to have a nasty effect on your heart," Frieza declared, "I'd be willing to wager that you won't be able to take much more."
"Is that so?" Goku replied, "well, we'll see. Anyway, my energy is more then high enough now to take care of you, so it doesn't look like I'll have to worry about it!"
"Don't try to threaten me Goku," Frieza ordered, "we both know you've suffered incredible damage from that device and your energy is falling fast. You won't last much longer at this rate."
"This won't take long," Goku declared warping in front of Frieza and punching him skyward. He blasted up after Frieza, grabbed him by the tail and slammed him down into his knee, then Goku punched Frieza back down into the ground. Using instant transmission he appeared right in front of Frieza. "Kamehameha!" Goku shouted firing a giant Kamehameha wave!
"Nooo!" Frieza shouted as the blast engulfed him. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the tyrant. Goku's hair turned black again and he fell flat on his face, completely out of breath.
"Goku!" Luffy and Naruto both shouted running to the side of their comrade.
"Hang on," Luffy ordered, "we're gonna turn off that machine!" Then Luffy and Naruto turned their attention to where Zoro and Ichigo were fighting.
….
Clare stared at the black blade sticking out of the ground inches to the side of her head. Ichigo stood over her, his left hand against her shoulder, preventing her from rising or using her sword.
"Now that I've got your attention," Ichigo declared glaring down at her, "what the heck are you doing!"
"I told you! It's none of your concern!" Clare shouted back at him. Ichigo let go of his sword and punched Clare in the face with his right hand.
"That's enough!" he shouted, "It is my concern! I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about you. Heck, I'd be lying if I even said I cared, but that doesn't matter. We're on the same side! If something's wrong, we need to be able to help each other!"
"SHUT UP! You think we're on the same side! I'm nothing like any of you!" Clare shouted.
"You're right! You're not! You're not like me or Goku or Naruto or any of the others, just like none of us are like you! We don't have to all be the same Clare! Don't you get it! They didn't call us here because we were all alike! They called us here because we have unique strengths and abilities that the Princesses thought could help one another! They called us here to be a team!"
"A team! You tricked me! You tricked me into joining your little team! I don't want any part of it!" Clare shouted.
"What do you mean we tricked you!" Ichigo replied.
"Teresa told me. She told me that you were manipulating me. That you were using me to get what you wanted, and then you were planning on getting rid of me as soon as you had a chance!" Clare shouted, a tear drop rolling down her face.
"What! That's absurd! She lied to you!" Ichigo shouted.
"No! Teresa would never lie to me! Shut up and die!" Clare shouted releasing a burst of Yoki aura that knocked Ichigo off of her. Ichigo tried to grab Zangetsu as he flew but Clare knocked the sword just out of his grip with her left hand. Ichigo hit the ground hard and rolled up to a kneeling position. He looked up as Clare jumped into the air with her sword raised. "DIE!" she shouted swinging the sword down towards Ichigo's neck. Blood splattered across the ground as the sword struck flesh. Ichigo looked up in wide eyed terror and amazement as Clare's eyes widened with surprise. Her sword protruded from Naruto's left shoulder.
