Chapter 12
Daichi and Osamu watched their comrade fall to the ground, lifeless and decapitated as they knew their numbers were starting to go down slowly, but surely.
"NO!" Daichi yelled holding out his hand as if it was gonna save her from the already apparent death. Before he could do anything else a hard punch was felt across his face.
"Hey, your fights over here. You'll join your friend soon." Stain said jumping back with both fists up and close together giving him a good defense.
"DAMN YOU!" Daichi said rushing and punching and kicking blindly hoping to land at least one punch in order to show that it's possible to win this fight.
"Daichi calm down right now!", his brother, Osamu, yelled at him trying to get him to stop sensely stop raging and actually fight properly.
"But they killed Miu!" Daichi said with at least lowering his voice, but still showing great emotion.
"I know they killed her. We'll get our revenge on them shortly." Osamu said staring down Chalkie and Stain as if he was murdering them ten times over in his head.
"We aren't heartless animals like you think we are, we're only doing what's necessary to survive and save our planet." Chalkie said adding some wisdom in to avert their conclusions about them.
"I'll be damned on what you are. I'll destroy you both!" Daichi said powering up and creating a crater around himself showing his furiousity he was gonna rain upon his opponents.
"Lets use it brother." said Daichi's brother talking in a sense only his brother knew about.
"Right, they'll know what true terror is after this!" they jumped down beside each other and powered up creating an aura that seemed kinda off, like it was twisting, but not like a spiral type twist though.
"Chalkie stay alert, we were warned about this." Stain said readying himself with Chalkie following example. Next thing Stain knew he was standing there in a mansion looking room all by himself, clueless to what was happening to him.
"What the…" he said trying to figure out where he was at. His eyes bugged out as soon as he started to examine the walls and pictures all around him making him start to panic and bring back bad memories of his childhood.
"No...No...NO!" he said yelling out loud trying to shake his head as if it was all a very bad dream and that none of it was really happening. He heard voices coming from a corridor to his left that was poorly lit. He slowly started to move towards the direction of the voices not being able to call out to see who it was due to his voice being dry from his nervousness. Sweat was dripping down his face falling off his chin the closer he got closer to the door. He heard muffled sobs and someone else yelling at another person.
"You insolent shit! You dare come home with terribles grades like these?! Two fucking B's?!" as the man was yelling he heard a slap across someone's face, but it wasn't the man's face that was hit, it was a child's face.
"David stop it! He is only an eight year old! He is doing the best he can!" he heard a woman's voice that was now opposing the man. He was watching this whole scene unfold just through the crack in the door. The man turned and had a raging look in his eye as if he was a king touched by a homeless dirty old man. "How dare you touch me woman! This child needs to be put in his place when he decides to lower himself to such standards!" The man yelled back at her raising his hand to slap the woman, but Stain stepped in and shouted at the man to stop, but he didn't, they didn't even notice him yell at the man. It was as if he was a ghost that simply couldn't be heard or seen. The whole scene was unfolding right in front of him and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. This vision was haunting enough to watch, but for this to bring back terrible memories from his childhood, this childhood, was emotionally taxing enough to where he broke down and started to quietly sob not being able to change it at all.
"HAHAHAHA! Look at this baby crying like he just lost him mommy! Priceless I say!" said Daichi pointing and laughing hysterically at him. Stain had his arms dropped down between his legs with his head lowered down. His sobbing was slowly starting to turn into a chuckle. He looked up with a few streams of tears falling down his face and had a cold stare towards Daichi who was puzzled on why he was laughing.
"You think that throwing me into a hell I already went through will hurt me? Think again assholes. I'm stronger than then and I'm a hell of a lot stronger now. I'll wipe the floor with you two." Stain said seeming like a completely different person now.
"What the hell just happened!? I thought he was vulnerable to our magic?!" Daichi said yelling towards his brother seeing his face was just confused as his. Osamu was beginning to get worried, these warriors weren't like anything they had ever seen before. They were mentally stronger than anticipated.
"You alright Stain?" Chalkie said looking at him wiping his face.
"Yeah man, I'm fine. Let's massacre these guys now." Stain said powering up to his Super Saiyan form. Chalkie nodded and followed example getting in his fighting stance.
"Brother, our magic doesn't work? What do we do?" Daichi asked looking over to his brother that seemed concentrating on a way to find out of this predicament. Osamu powered up doing something similar to the hybrids.
"What are you doing? We aren't that strong, physically!" his brother said in a panic not knowing what to do.
"Let's go worms!" Stain said charging at the duo delivering a flurry of punches and kicks that all landed on Daichi not giving him a chance to block or counter any of his moves. He delivered a kick upwards sending him flying towards the sky.
Stain yelled his next move, "Essence Warp!" he shot a energy ball that seemed to be made of all different kinds of colors that hit Daichi and wrapped him into an energy ball and slowly began to form onto his body as if wrapped in a shield, but with an opposite effect.
"What have you done?! I can feel my energy leaving me, stop it!" Daichi said yelling and begging for mercy from the attack that was placed upon him. The energy around Daichi exploded throwing him towards the ground battered and bruised with blood coming from random places on his body.
"Who is the baby now Daichi? You're nothing, but a weak magician expecting to be able to beat everyone you come across. Not anymore, you hear me!" Stain said holding out his hand preparing the final blast that would end Daichi he seeing his face widen as he knew his end was inevitable.
"HAAA!" Stain yelled destroying Daichi in an instant. Stain wasn't happy having to take another life, but overall it was in self defense. He just wanted this day to be over with already.
"Chalkie hurry up and finish your opponent now!" Stain yelled seeming pissed off all of a sudden.
"Right! Got it, it won't take long." Chalkie said powering up facing his opponent ready to end this as quickly as possible. Stain didn't like having to end his opponent's life, but things had to be done.
Lady Leo looked over to see Stain and Chalkie getting beaten to a pulp.
"Guys we are you doing?!" she yelled towards their direction, but it seemed like they couldn't hear her at all.
"Damn it, they need our help!" Lady Leo said towards Shalahk who looked as if she could destroy a planet with just a glance. Shalahk glided to Lady Leo and said, "Alright we fire ki blasts at once and over power them." Lady Leo nodded and powered up her blast in her hand joining in with Shalahk's blast to make it bigger overall. They fired and the energy blast exploded 20 yards before the Osamu and Daichi.
"What the hell just happened?" Shalahk said with a look of surprise on her face asking a question that was up for grabs by anyone. I looked over to see Stain and Chalkie getting the living crap beat out of them.
"Come on guys, get it together!" I yelled seeming as if my motivation was falling on deaf ears.
Their leader spoke up and said, "They can't hear you or react. They are in Osamu's and Daichi's special attack. The attack puts their target in their own world and makes it seem as if they are winning and no one can do a thing about it until the victor is decided which is usually the twins!" he finished. I thought to myself, 'Damn it, come on guys you need to get it together and win this.'
Meanwhile Chalkie and Stain was winning the fight inside their minds and wasn't letting up.
"You know you didn't have to jump in right? I had this under control." Chalkie said.
"I know you did, but you were taking too long and I wanna get this over so I can help the others fight." Stain said pressing on the endless onslaught of punches and kicks.
"Fine lets finish it now!" Chalkie said rearing back with a powerful punch going straight through Osamu's chest. He looked down holding his hand under his chest with blood pouring out of it. He coughed up some blood and stumbled back a few feet before falling on his back.
"You won't get away with this for long, I assure you of that." Osamu said coughing up the last bit of blood before drawing his last breath.
"What do you think he meant by that?" Chalkie said looking at Stain.
"I don't know, but we need to hurry and help the others." Stain said as he turned around and looked for the others, but he couldn't find a single ally within site.
"What the hell is going on?" Stain said starting to panic a little not knowing whether this was another mind game or not.
"Chalkie, something isn't right." Stain said observing his surroundings taking in every detail he could.
"I agree, what do you think we should do?" he asked looking for somewhat of an answer so they could figure out this situation.
"I don't think they are actually dead. We may be in another one of their illusions that they created." Stain said explaining his theory on what was currently happening.
"What do you suggest we do?" Chalkie asked prying for more of what Stain thought.
"We can't let out a huge ki blast because that would only destroy the illusions around us. We need to knock ourselves out of this world." Stain said coming to a conclusion that would sound fatal.
"What is it that you suggest Stain?" he said looking puzzled.
"One of us is gonna have to die." Stain said solemnly.
"Which one of us will die though and what if this is really our reality?" Chalkie said questioning the motives of this ridiculous plan.
"I'll go, I'm slightly stronger than you, no offense, and I might be able to hold my own against those two. If they are anything like their illusions then it will be a piece of cake. I only hope that they are tired out and that they haven't done too much damage to our real bodies though. If I die anyways and it is our reality just gather the dragonballs and revive me." Stain said giving explanations on each of his questions as well as adding in his own opinion of the two enemy fighters.
"Alright, then lets do it. I'll hit you with my strongest energy blast." Chalkie said powering up and forming an energy ball in his hand as his ki grew each second. Stain prepared himself for what would happen lowering his guard and energy so it could destroy him in one large sweep.
"Ready? HAAAA!" Chalkie yelled releasing the built up energy blast wiping away Stain in one go making it easy on both of them.
Stain opened his eyes as he was flying through the air then finally hitting the ground hard, he knew he was alive and that the plan worked and it really was an illusion that they had put them in. He looked up to see Osamu's fist flying at his face and Stain managed to catch it right before the blow landed causing anymore damage.
"Wh-what?! So soon?!" Osamu seemed surprised as if the illusions of themselves was suppose to stay in there long enough for the real copies to destroy both of them.
"Sorry, your fun is now over." Stain said pulling Osamu towards him and slamming him into the ground hard. Daichi stopped his attack and looked over to see Stain awake and fully pissed off.
"Aww crap, I better finish this one off real quick." Daichi said right as Stain appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the throat. Stain chokeslammed him creating a crater knocking the wind from him.
"Not today you aren't, not ever." Stain turned around, reared his hand back and slapped Chalkie waking him up from the illusion with a really painful cheek.
"Geez! Couldn't you have woke me up a different way instead of hitting. Damn that hurt. The others turned to look to see Chalkie and Stain moving on their own signifying that they were awake and back in the fight.
"Yeah! Good job guys now finish them!" said Gaige who was holding his own with the guy he was fighting.
"Your fight is with me, now pay attention!" Takeshi said delivering a harder than normal punch showing that he was a little pissed that he wasn't worth Gaige's attention.
"Damn it! They are stronger than we expected brother. One final push with our strongest energy attack and we'll end this!" Daichi said yelling jumping back into position with his brother.
"We may not have a similar transformation like Miu did, but we know how to work together and increase our power." Osamu said explaining how their power worked.
"You'll be in for a shock if you think a combined power like that will defeat us." Stain said. Stain looked over to Chalkie and said, "Wanna try the move out? We've developed it enough to use in actual combat."
"Yes lets use it! Let's show everyone the move we developed in secret!" Chalkie said taking position a few feet back giving them enough room to charge it up. They began powering up and they put up one hand each side by side of each other.
"Take this! Twins wrath!" Osamu and Daichi said sending a giant blast towards them that would have easily wiped the moon away.
"Ready! Spiral Flash!" Chalkie and Stain yelled as they fired an attack that looked similar to Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. The two blasts spiraled toward each other and when they collided Chalkie and Stains attack split the Twins blast down the middle catching both of them off guard. They attempted to jump out of the way, but the blast split in two and flew at them like a Final Flash consuming them not giving either of them a chance to yell or do anything.
"Nice! You did it!" Lady Leo yelled flying down as the barrier keeping anyone from entering or leaving the area they were in disappeared.
"Three down, four to go. Let's rest while they fight it out for a bit. That last attack looked harder than you think, hahaha." Stain said falling down trying to catch his breath.
"When did you guys come up with an attack like that?" Lady Leo asked wondering how they did it in secret.
"A true magician never reveals his secrets." Chalkie said laughing and winking at the same time.
"It seems your little group isn't fairing too well Kuchiku." Fricese said sending blast towards him only for him to put his guard up and take it head on.
"You're right! Let's change scenery!" he yelled catching Fricese and the others off guard.
"Wait what?!" Fricese said as he turned and seen a white light envelop the others as well as himself. "I hate these damn portals!" Fricese yelled before disappearing.
