Chapter 11
A/N: Well, here's number 11. Btw, the whole thing about names last chapter…that was more for you…before people ask me where they get the names they come up with, and I thought it seemed logical that they name themselves. Well, apparently After…"earning permission." Lol, I guess the permission thing was something I thought up afterwards.
Like I said, that paragraph was for the readers, not simple filler. Not super important, just something I didn't want to be asked.
I promised to reveal a new antagonist…Commander Contra, he plays a big part in this final Genocilia saga chapter.
Final? All ready? Well, I said it wouldn't be a large chapter…I needed to bring these new enemies to the DBZ universe before moving on to Namek. Sorry for another long A/N, it's becoming a sick habit huh? Now..on to the energy blade wielding dual! Enjoy!
POV - Massa
Among the outskirts of Vaxcinta city, Vesaun and the dual wielding android stood upon the ground, parts of it scorched, where it had been blasted. Other parts with small craters...or large potholes. Vaxcinta city was quickly turning into a wasteland itself. Battle torn, smoke filling the air, and bodies lay about.
Is there any hope of Genocilia winning this war? Probably not, I sadly realized. To my regret…we were away from home for far too long. And although we were paid well, our planet is paying a high price, our power levels are so high we could've made a difference. These weakling androids haven't stood a chance, none of them. Not against the best mercs Genocilia has to offer. I thought to myself. But what good is it to be the best if you have nothing to show for it? Not even a home…
That damn deal with Appule better pay off…

POV - Vesaun
The two of us remained motionless. Staring in each other's eyes, both of us having harnessed the full power of our blades. This metallic maniac is stronger than the others, the only explanation for his confidence. Just how much more powerful? I thought.
He let out a chuckle. "Are you too scared to make a move? No matter…I'M not." He let out a grim smile and charged at me, blades leading the way.
I placed my right blade in a diagonal position stopping his double bladed slash cold. I pressed on, keeping him subdued. I took my left blade and attempted to stab right through him. He saw the motion and disengaged.
He did a quick step back, then right before my blade made contact, he motioned his body sideways, forcing a miss. I was also left unbalanced leaving me open for an easy kick he sent to the groin. I skidded back and recovered about ten meters away.
He charged at me once more. This time he sent a series of slashes to any opening in my defense he could find. I found myself walking backwards, parrying strike after strike. Eventually, I was cornered up against the wall of a fallen building.
I grunted in worry, as I know I can't blast it, not without getting sliced into tiny pieces! I continued to focus on parrying his blades. He's not organic…he can do this nonstop at this pace for hours…I bet.
Luckily, Annex saw my situation growing worse. He blasted the building to oblivion.
The android disengaged, and flew up into the air. They can fly!?
"What's the matter, couldn't handle me yourself? I guess you can let one of your friends join the fray, it'll make things more interesting." The android announced, chuckling a little.
Annex flew down to my side. "I all ready got involved, it may as well be me." He called out to the android.
"No. I don't need anyone's help to bust this can opener of a warrior. His skill caught me by surprise, that doesn't mean I'm too incompetent of a leader to handle a one on one."
"But he said-"
"I don't care what he said Annex. I give the orders around here."
"Fool, you're letting your pride cloud your judgment. So far, you haven't been able to do anything to me, I nearly killed you." The android shouted.
I flared my aura, and power up. There's no way this bastard can handle my full power! I just need a few seconds. He stared upon my aura with interest.
"Ah, maybe you aren't such a fool, you've been holding back. Pity, not using all of your power almost cost you your life." The android mocked.
Now look who's being a "fool", letting me power up shall be your downfall…I thought to myself.

POV - Bulma (Earth, Roshi's house)
Goku was having one of his legendary pig outs with his son at the table…and it was never easy having a conversation with them when they did that. So I turned to Tien.
"So you actually think that this..Namek place might have Dragon balls?" I questioned.
"Well, I don't know. Kami sent Mr. Popo out to present the idea to Goku, but he wasn't at Mount Paozu. I guess Kami redirected him to here, but ran into me on the way."
"Could you explain it in more detail though?"
"I can do that." A voice from outside answered.
My face turned blue at the site of Piccolo…right outside Kame house. He let out a grim smile as he ripped the door off its hinges and stepped in unwelcomely. Well, unwelcomely unless you're Gohan.
"Hey Piccolo!" His face brightened…covered in food.
"Gaaugh, clean yourself up brat!"
"HEY! Never talk to my baby like that ever again!" Chi Chi demanded, with a spatula in here hand, smacking her other hand in an 'intimidating' manner.
"I'll talk to my student…HOWEVER I WANT." I returned.
"YOUR student? YOUR student? WHY I OUTTA-" Whatever she was going to say, got silenced as the Ox King grabbed her and took her upstairs. With Chi Chi shouting "Put me down!" The entire way.
"I take it Kami was having similar thoughts?" Piccolo asked rhetorically. Returning his focus on me.
"Well, when we were battling the Saiyans, they referred to me as a Namek. Which is supposedly the long lost race of Kami and mine. The old coot seems to believe that he knew how to make the dragon balls, cause it was something our people must have done." He elaborated.
"Oh…I-I think I understand now. I guess." I said.
"But why are you here, Piccolo?" Master Roshi asked.
"To issue a request."
Roshi, Oolong and I all gulped at that thought. We all remembered his last "request." Last time he took Gohan away from us for a year in order to prepare him for the Saiyans.
"Sure, what is it Piccolo?" Asked Goku, who seemed oblivious to the entire ordeal while he was eating.
Piccolo looked at their table with disgust, being a Namek, he only required water. Watching two Saiyans pig out just got on his nerves.
"I want to join you, and see what my planet is like. I'm proposing another truce between us Goku." A small amount of regret carried in his voice. Something Goku, who believed all people, had good in them…as usual…won't notice.
"Of course! Why not?" Goku said.
Oh why does he always have to be so simple about everything!?

POV - Vesaun
Now at full power, we seemed to be about even. The two of us clashed in the skies full force, blades leading the way. We continued this action for a few moments, but neither of us was going to slip up. I managed to create some separation, and then bolted towards him at full speed. The two of us collided with our left hand blades. The ferocious impact of it shattered the blades completely; and the magnitude of the force sent us backwards.
The android shot a rapid-fire volley of bullet-like energy. I blocked with my sword, and moved in a zigzag motion towards him.
"Is that all you've got?" I mocked.
As soon as I got in reach, both of us slashed at each other full force again. This time was different, he mistimed it, I had the momentum. His blade shattered and mine went right through him. I delivered a kick that sent him crashing into surface.
I descended down and casually walked toward him, a scowl on his face.
"End of the line."
"Just finish me…" He requested weakly.
A smiled. "As you wish." I rose my blade but then another android came out of nowhere from above. He landed in between us. I lowered my blade and looked at this newcomer with curiosity.
The other android looked surprised, but wore a slight smile on his face. "C-Commander Contra! I wasn't expecting you."
The commander grunted in response, he didn't seem happy at all. He stared at me, eye to eye.
The nearly dead android attempted to explain the events. "We ran into this bunch, they overwhelmed us a-and we-"
"I have no interest in your failure Lieutenant." He stated just before pointing his arm at him and firing a beam straight through his head.
Contra turned his attention back to me. "So, you beat Zayvan by yourself?" He gestured to the now terminated body behind him. I merely nodded.
"Tell me…did you take out Hotflash too?" He searched for Hotflash's body along the battlefield.
"Yeah." I replied.
Rather than show any signs of worry, he actually appeared delighted.
"Excellent, perhaps the three of four of you will make a challenge. Come on now, don't make we wait too long." He said calmly.
This fool actually intends to take all four of us…such arrogance is rare. Although…he's a higher rank than the lieutenants were. He'll certainly be tougher, but on the contraire, I have my backup alongside for this one. I would be wise to take advantage of that. I thought to myself.
"Surround him." I ordered.
Barasi and Annex complied by landing behind Contra, Massa joined my side.
"Well? Attack…if you dare." Contra challenged.
Each of us moved in simultaneously, each of us striking through an afterimage, hitting each other. We scanned the area looking for him…
A missile of golden light struck Barasi in the back. He landed on the ground, slightly flinching.
Massa charged at him, and through a volley of punches, each only to be blocked by the cocky commander.
Contra saw an opening and countered with a power kick into Massa's ribs. Massa's eyes nearly bulged out from the force of it. Contra cupped his hands and smashed him straight into the surface.
Annex and I tried to blast him away with energy waves, but just barely missed. We couldn't even track his movements. In fact, the only movement I did catch, was the movement that struck Annex in the blindside followed by a few energy balls.
"Damn you."
Contra chuckled waving his hand in a 'bring it' fashion.
"I wanted to save you for last. Just you…and me." He said grinning.
I clenched my fist, and lunged at him full speed.
He didn't block, he didn't dodge…he just let me stick my remaining energy blade right through his chest!
Too easy…
Just as I reached that conclusion, I got power kicked in the gut. I looked up, and watched him pull the energy blade out of his chest, he rose it up.
This is it…
"Commander!" I heard someone call.
Contra didn't take his eyes off of me. "What?" He demanded.
A pair of androids descended from the sky. Our Lord wishes to see you…
Contra's metallic eyes widened. "He's here? I wasn't expecting him until another week."
"I'll deal with you weaklings later." He announced, before dispersing the energy forming the blade, turned around, and all three of them flew off.
A/N: Sorry it took so long to get the chapter out btw. Namek is coming next, what twists do I have in store for it? What of Nappa? What of Vegeta? And who will win the race for the Dragon balls?
