Chapter 11: The New Z-Fighters

Tsuki frowned and got herself up, glaring at Arekku with intentions to attack. Damus looked to his side and noticed the two getting ready to fight, well Tsuki at least. Tsuki gritted her teeth and brought her hands up saying, "You may have some fancy titles, but I'll never respect you!" Damus' eyes lit up and he yelled, "Tsuki don't!" Tsuki brought her fist forward and when landing on Arekku's face, he didn't move a muscle. Tsuki was terrifyingly strong such as the others, but he power was no match for his. Tsuki began to rapidly hit and kick Arekku, causing him to slowly walk backwards. Tsuki was angry and didn't want to take defeat easily. Arekku brought one finger up and blocked her kick and her face was shocked and she froze.

"I'll admit, you are strong for a cat… Some more training and you might actually hurt me…" Arekku said.

"W-What?! You're not hurt?!" Tsuki asked.

"No, I'm a Saiyan…" Arekku said.

Tsuki dropped her leg and went in for a punch; Arekku smirked as he grabbed it with one hand and head butted her to the ground. Tsuki grabbed onto her nose as it started to bleed and she teared up from the pain and this was the first time Damus and Race have ever seen her cry, at this point everyone is watching the fight. Tsuki got up and charged her power; Arekku was surprised to see she was holding back, but she knew she would lose this battle if she didn't power up. From charging up, Arekku could feel how intense her power rose and she equaled to almost a Super Saiyan Two. Tsuki flew in and attacked. Arekku began to struggle to hold her off, but he was still faster. Tsuki was able to break through one of his block and directly hit him in the face knocking him back a few feet.

"So, you think you can defeat me?" Arekku said as he wiped his lip.

"I know I can!" Tsuki yelled.

"This is dangerous! Arekku is much stronger and is going to kill her!" Damus yelled.

"If you're so concerned, why don't you stop him?" Akuma asked.

"Arekku won't do it…" Leon said. "He may seem evil, but he is kind…"

Arekku smirked and turned Super Saiyan One. He outranked her power and though she couldn't feel it, those who were on earth could. Tsuki charged in and Arekku spun and kicked her in the gut, stunning her. Arekku slowly stroked his hand in her hair and gripped it tightly, he lifted her by force and said, "If you battled me before I met these people, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill you…" Tsuki closed her eyes in pain and yelled, "What, you lost your balls?!" Tsuki tried to anger him and it worked. Arekku whipped her into the ground and slammed his foot onto her chest and crushed her into the ground.

"No, I just had a change of heart…" Arekku said.

"Huh?" Tsuki replied.

Arekku placed his hand over her and charged his Big Bang Attack and powered it to its extent. Seconds before blasting it, Race flew in and slapped the blast away with all of his power. Race hit the ground and collapsed as he has never felt such energy. Damus was shocked and yelled, "He was going to kill her!" Akuma turned around to walk back to the camp and said, "She shouldn't have pissed him off…" Leon had nothing to say for it was true, but he wanted to stop it. Tamai left as well. Race with breathing hard and said, "I… Never felt such… Energy… He… Was going to… Kill her!" Damus helped him up and bumped shoulders with Arekku as he walked passed him. Tsuki lay in the ground and had teary eyes, she looked to Damus and said, "I… Almost died…"

"I know… But everyone is right… He has anger issues and you pissed him off… You should know that when I almost died, he spared me…" Damus said. "Just, be kind to him, I know you don't respect anyone, but try! It will mean something later in life…"

"N- No!" Tsuki said as she got up and left.

This was the first time Tsuki ever disobeyed Damus. She walked to the camp everyone had left to and with a capsule Race has given her from his universe, she made herself a home for two. Race stayed with her and everyone else slept in tents. Arekku was in base form and entered the camp; he noticed an explosion from off in the distance and flew to it, as did Akuma and Leon. Arekku flew and found a village of poor people destroyed. Arekku looked around in anger, then suddenly took an elbow to the face along with his friends who were taken out suddenly. Arekku looked up and saw a big man. He wore, a black Gi with red lining and white pants. He had black and silver shoes and had black eyes. His skin was green and tongue long and skinny. His ears came to a point like a bat, but came down and connected to his neck. The inside of his ears were red and he had a masculine look.

"Who are you?!" Arekku asked.

"I am Lord Viper… Son of soon-to-be God of Destruction, Hebi." Viper said.

"Who?" Everyone asked confused.

"You dare ask who my father is?!" Viper yelled.

Arekku ignored him and charged in, smashing the big warriors face. Lord Viper did not move a muscle and pushed his chin down on Arekku's fist. Arekku became shocked and Lord Viper grabbed his head and fell, slamming Arekku headfirst into the ground. Akuma flew in to help, but Viper grabbed his throat and held him in the air while he had Arekku under him by his foot. Leon flew in and Lord Viper opened his mouth and blasted Leon into the ground. Leon turned Super Saiyan, but Arekku could not, Lord Viper was using a unknown technique and transferred his Ki to his foot which was allowing him to hold in any power Arekku had and wanted to use. Leon slammed his fist forward and Lord Viper did the same. Both fists collided and Leon flew back and Lord Viper lost his balance on Arekku.

"Take this!" Arekku yelled. "Big Bang Attack!"

Arekku fired away, forgetting Akuma and directly hit him. When the smoke faded away, Lord Viper had Akuma held out, in front of the blast. Smoke sizzled off of his burnt clothing and he was knocked out. Leon angrily yelled, "You cheating bastard!" Lord Viper appeared behind him and in a shocking moment; he placed both hands on his head and pulled, snapping his neck. Leon fell to the ground and his eyes went white. Arekku saw this and yelled, "LEON!" Everyone from far away heard this and felt the power rise on the two warriors and Leon's power dropped to death. Damus and Tamai left, while Tsuki and Race stayed due to pride and anger. "What do you think happened?" Damus asked. "My brother's power level went down!"

"Arekku, his power level rose and so did another warrior! And it isn't Akuma. I felt his lower a little while back!" Tamai said.

The warriors arrived and Arekku was in his Super Saiyan One form, taking a beating by a much bigger warrior. Everyone couldn't believe the power of this being and were shocked to see Arekku after having a Zenkai boost be losing. Arekku took massive hits to the face and immense kicks to the gut. Arekku didn't have time to transform for Lord Viper was too fast. Arekku was rapidly battling him in the sky and then took a kick across the face and was sent into the ground. Lord Viper landed on his back and crushed him in. Arekku screamed in pain and Lord Viper only put more pressure. Lord Viper looked over and spotted the other warriors watching and smirked saying, "These must be your friends…"

"Don't you touch them…" Arekku said.

"Arekku!" Tamai yelled.

Lord Viper flew in and kneed her in the stomach and smashed her down into the ground with both of his hands; Tamai got up quickly and prepared to attack. Damus and Tamai went to strike from both sides, but Viper ducked and both Saiyans smashed each other's faces and fell back. Lord Viper picked Damus up by his armor and said, "Burning Phoenix? I'll show you what a Burning Phoenix is…" Lord Viper swung Damus into the air and shot a blast the size of a huge boulder; it was a fire ball and Damus closed his eyes and blocked. Lord Viper turned his eyes to Tamai who had transformed into her Super Saiyan One form. Lord Viper smiled and said, "Ah, it has just come to my realization that you are all the same race as my father's teacher…"

"Another Saiyan?!" Tamai questioned.

"Why, why is there more Saiyans suddenly?! Half breeds, full breeds, they just seem to keep coming out of nowhere!" Damus yelled as he crawled on the ground.

"She has the answer to your question… Too bad you are going to die before ever meeting her…" Lord Viper Said.

Arekku smashed Lord Viper in the middle of his back with his knee and sent him flying and tumbling across the ground. Arekku was a Super Saiyan Two and was now even in power with him. Lord Viper got up and felt the immense energy of the prince. Arekku gritted his teeth and growled; Lord Viper knew he was in for a good fight and had prepared for a fight like this for years. Lord Viper charged his power level and then went after Arekku. Arekku and Lord Viper collided heads and pushed each other back to see who was superior. Lord Viper could feel Arekku's massive power and brought his hand up and blasted him. When the smoke was gone, Arekku was nowhere to be seen. Lord Viper looked around in confusion, and Arekku suddenly kicked him across the head, smashing him into the ground.

"Take this!" Arekku yelled. "Final Flash!"

"What?!" Lord Viper questioned.

Arekku brought both hands together and fired. Viper saw this and opened his mouth yelling, "Snake Way!" A blast in the design of Snake Way itself came from his mouth and collided with Arekku's attack. Both used all of their power and kept pushing; Arekku was at his breaking point for his Super Saiyan Two and was almost going into Super Saiyan Three. He held his power in and felt that he did not need it yet. Lord Viper fired half of his power into the attack and was slowly beating Arekku's. Tamai was going to everyone and giving them senzu beans. Leon, Akuma, and Damus were wide awake and healed. Everyone watched from below the amazing collision between two strong blasts. Arekku could feel his blast being overpowered and yelled, "Very well!" Arekku stopped his blast and took the hit. Lord Viper laughed and said, "I knew you couldn't withstand my power!"

"Lord Viper! Eliminate the warriors Arekku and Leon. They still have more forms that outrank you! Kill them while they are down!" The woman said through telepathy.

"Yes my Queen…" Lord Viper said.

Arekku was slowly getting up and Lord Viper crushed him with his knee. Arekku tried to get up, but Lord Viper grabbed his hair and dragged him across the ground. Leon flew in and Lord Viper was surprised to see him alive. Leon smashed Viper across the face with his fist and sent him flying into rock formations. Leon yelled and turned Super Saiyan Three and said, "Now, I will defeat you!" He charged in and Lord Viper teleported and kicked his back, smashing Leon into the ground. Lord Viper then began to form a blast from his mouth and fired it onto him. Leon was injured for this was a blast only known to the power of gods and nothing can block it unless if it is overpowered by another immense Ki or another God Ki.

"How… Can you be… So… Strong…?" Leon asked.

"I am son of Hebi! I know the power of Gods!" Lord Viper yelled.

Lord Viper grabbed Leon by his long hair and pulled him back and elbowed him constantly in the face. Tamai flew in to save him, but he turned and elbowed her into the ground. Akuma charged and in his true form, he held one arm in the air and formed a black and pink ball, strong enough to destroy earth. Akuma knew he had to have an accurate shot and needed the opening. Leon had descended to base form and was taking a beating. Tamai was knocked out and Arekku was still hurt. Akuma then said in telepathy to Leon, "I am sorry, this is for earth…" Akuma teleported with his attack and shot it over Viper. The explosion was massive and after it cleared, Viper was standing, looking up at Akuma. Leon was only knocked out from the beating and was hurt severely.

"I am Majin Akuma… I will destroy you now…" Akuma said.

"Majin huh? I didn't think you pieces of bubble gum were still around." Lord Viper said.

Akuma flew in and punched. Lord Viper caught it and said, "Shame, I thought you Majin's were unstoppable…" Akuma smirked and began to absorb him. Viper became worried and tried to break free but couldn't. Akuma's arm was now connected with half of Viper's arm and he was panicking. Viper had no option but one thing left to do. He held his arm over his shoulder and blasted it off. Akuma got some power from the arm he absorbed and charged. Viper began to retreat and Akuma kicked him to the ground. Damus went next to him and asked, "May I?" Akuma nodded and Damus said, "How about this for a fire attack, I learned this from my brother! Burning Attack!"

"AH!" Lord Viper yelled.

He was not dead, but injured severely. Everyone who was hurt had now gotten up and Arekku walked over to him, limping. Lord Viper made eye contact with him and said, "Arekku, son of Vegeta… Prince of all Saiyans… Tell me… Who are you people?!" Arekku charged a blast in one hand and said, "Who are we? Lord Viper… We are the New Z-Fighters…" Lord Viper was astonished and Arekku held his arm up and said, "Die…" He blasted him into dust and finished Lord Viper. Hebi and the woman had listened to the whole conversation and Hebi raged, destroying planets in his surroundings. The Saiyan woman floated to him and said, "Calm down… You are not yet the God of Destruction…"

"Those bastards killed my son… I will make them pay…" Hebi said.

"You will, after you become the God of Destruction…" The Saiyan woman said.

"No… They will pay now… I will send them my strongest warrior…" Hebi said.

"Who would that be?" The woman asked in confusion for Lord Viper was his only son and only warrior.

"Heh, heh… You…"

"You know I will flawlessly kill them, don't you want them to suffer?" The woman asked.

"Prove it… Kill them!" Hebi yelled.

"Very well…" The Saiyan woman replied.

Everyone back on earth was at camp healing. Race and Tsuki could feel the Saiyans new power now that the Zenkai boost kicked in. Tsuki became intimidated now that everyone is by far stronger than she is. Race got up and said, "I know you are mad at them, but I hope that Arekku guy and his friends can train me!" Tsuki scoffed and said, "Go, I didn't need you anyways!" Race sighed in sadness and left. Tsuki stayed in her room and pouted. Tamai entered the little home and said, "Knock, knock! Tsuki, did you wanna eat with us?" Tsuki hissed and said, "No!" Damus entered and told Tamai to leave. Damus opened her door and said, "Tsuki, I didn't care for you for all these years for you to hide in your room and hold a grudge over a loss. You knew he was stronger!"

"What happened to you?!" Tsuki asked. "You were ruthless! Mean! You only cared about us and whatever was in our way we destroyed! What happened?!"

"What happened? Earth happened. Arekku killed Joku… I was so angry and I cheated and knocked him out… His other friend the Majin, Akuma. He came to his rescue and nearly killed me… But Arekku stopped him… He told him to let me live and even though he had the pride to watch me die, he didn't he wanted me to live… I never told anyone this, but he confronted me personally and said he was sorry for Joku's death…" Damus said. "I didn't hold a grudge on him for killing my best friend… But, he was right. We came unannounced and demanded things without question…"

Tsuki sat on her bed and thought for a while and said, "I will give him and the others another chance…" Damus smiled and left, but entered again and said, "Just because I gone soft doesn't mean I don't know how to kill anymore…" Damus winked and left. Tsuki smiled and left her home to find Arekku and the others sitting around a fire, eating massive amounts of food, laughing, talking. Tsuki wanted this kind of relationship with people and embarrassingly, she joined them and everyone stared. She felt uncomfortable and Arekku broke the ice saying, "Welcome to the New Z-Fighters Tsuki. Would you like something to eat?" Tsuki blushed in happiness and nodded. She knew she had some new friends, but… Where is Sora?
