Chapter 21: The Invasion Part 2
Part 2: A New Enemy, A New Ally
Corey
I felt myself shaking head to toe as I stared numbly up at Xiaon. We might be way stronger than when we first came to this universe, but I knew that this guy was horrible. He then called down to us all, "So which ones of you down there are going to rise to the challenge? Because if no one fights me, I will just destroy the world and be done with it! Not that it matters. All of your strength is infantile to me!"
But suddenly, I heard Vegeta scream up at Xiaon, even though he had been damaged badly just a little while ago, "If you want a fight, then get ready to fight the prince of all Saiyans!!" Then, Shadow and Inuyasha followed suit, powering up to SS5 and Super Form 4, and all three blasted right up at Xiaon. I watched with wishful thinking, hoping that we were stronger than him. But when Vegeta swung at Xiaon and missed, only to get nailed in the stomach with a knee, my own stomach dropped. Shadow then tried his own hand, but was backhanded as he approached, even at his unbelievable speed. Inuyasha then lunged at him in midair, his sword drawn, and he swung the blade, but missed as well. Inuyasha then tried again, but this time, Xiaon caught his sword and delivered a brutal punch to his face.
All three fell back to the ground, their egos the most damaged, but now, I was getting really nervous. "This guy's way stronger than we can handle," I said nervously, "I fought him. Or rather, I was beaten badly by him before I came to this universe." But then, it was Sikyomaru who said, "Perhaps he is strong…"
He then stepped forward, and I looked up at Xiaon, who looked at Sikyomaru with curiosity, and Sikyomaru continued, "But is he strong enough to handle me?" It was at that moment that Sikyomaru disappeared, and suddenly, a huge quaking force emitted from the air, and Xiaon was falling towards the ground! However, he stopped and floated in the air as Sikyomaru came level with him. "I don't think so," Sikyomaru confidently finished. "Alright, for a minute, I was really worried!" Luffy said, and then Talos said as well, "Yeah, looks like Xiaon is not as powerful as before." But I knew there was something wrong. I had this sickening feeling in my gut that we were in for a real rough ride. And that's when I heard the thing that confirmed my fears: Xiaon's laughing.
"AH AHAHA HAHAHAAAA!! So, Sikyomaru, is it? You're a Super Saiyan 6, yes?" Xiaon asked, knowing the answer already. Sikyomaru smiled and nodded, but then Xiaon asked, "Have you wondered yet what the next level is like?"
"WHAT?!" Sikyomaru and about everyone else yelled at all the same time, and my deep fears were justified.
Sikyomaru
I felt all my confidence melt away as I heard that there was another level of Super Saiyan to reach. Though I had already suspected there was, I felt apprehension rise up in me to be hearing this from Xiaon. But then, I tried to act calm, and I asked Xiaon, "So, I assume you've reached this level, Xiaon?"
He simply chuckled, and then raised his arms to his sides, saying, "You are definitely impressive to have achieved that form and controlled it. But now, I hope you're ready to witness SS7!!" Immediately, I felt a wave of terror sweep across the ground of fighters below me as they heard this, but I got ready. Xiaon then began to transform, mocking me by going through the forms of Super Saiyan that we had already achieved. His hair first turned golden, then it stuck up straight and spiky, then it grew out quickly to over four feet long, then it retracted and turned back to black, as red fur showed through his ripped shirt and on his arms. Then, the long spines grew out from his arms and his hair turned clay red, growing out a little more. Then, he became what I was, as sharp fangs grew out of his mouth and long, wicked claws came out of his hands.
"Now, it's time to show you the power that you have not yet seen. Prepare!!" It was at that moment that he suddenly began to glow, his body changing and his powers growing far more than I had to fight with. Then suddenly, he released a huge blast of energy that sent me flying backwards a few feet, but I balanced myself and waited until he stopped. I looked at him again and I saw my newest objective. Xiaon's clay red hair had changed drastically, becoming aquamarine color. His eyes had changed to red, and he had a deep blue aura surrounding him. He still had the spines, and his powers had now jumped incredible high. In fact, it seemed to be that his powers were four times greater than mine.
Goku
Every time we think we'd made it to the pinnacle of Saiyan power, someone has another form to show off. This one was really something, too. "So this is SS7. Man, this really is worse than I thought." Many of the people around me turned in shock at what I said, and Naruto was the one to ask, "So Sikyomaru can't take him?!" I shook my head and answered, "No. Sikyomaru is now totally eclipsed by him. Xiaon has to have four times as much power." "WHAT??!!!!" Everyone yelled out, and I just looked up at the bleak situation. However, it was Sonic next who said, "So? What's the big problem?" I turned to him and asked, "What do you suggest then?" He swept his arm towards all of us and said, "Look at the numbers we have. Even if he is four times as powerful as our best fighter… We can still make that up with all the rest of us!"
I realized that he was right. We were almost 100 strong, and most of us were SS5 or an equivalent to that. Plus, Xiaon wouldn't be able to pay full attention to all of us. "That just might work Sonic," I told the blue hedgehog, who answered, "Then shall we put it to the test?" Immediately, a cry went up from the crowd around us, and many began to rise up to where Xiaon and Sikyomaru were. I turned once more to Sonic and said, "Great idea." He shrugged, and said, "I have a few good ones now and then."
Xiaon
I looked around as the others began to surround me on all sides. Though my powers in this new form were far greater than any of theirs, they're sheer numbers made me worried. I then called to my master, "Lord Mephelis. Are you sure it's wise to have me fight them all on my own?" Then, I heard my master answer, "Yes, Xiaon. Your powers will be sufficient to finish them. Like I said before, if both you and Mada both appeared at once, they would fight you ardently, without pause. If you're on your own, they will be overconfident." "I understand, my lord. I'll do it this way then."
Then, I began to turn 360 to look at all the opponents I had to face. Almost a dozen universes, and almost 100 fighters. But still, I liked my chances. "So, who wants to make the first move?" I asked to the crowd around me.
3rd Person
Immediately, the first ones to storm at Xiaon were Sonic, Shadow and Silver, as they blazed at him with their ultraluminal speeds. However, Xiaon's new strength allowed him to take the fast but somewhat weaker hits from the three hedgehogs. But then, Xiaon then noticed that they weren't really trying to hurt him. They were trying to distract him. He looked around and saw at least 20 fighters pointing their hands right at him. "WHAT?!" Xiaon yelled, but was far too late to evade the blasts that came from all sides. He was engulfed in a massive explosion that spread out and pushed the attackers back from Xiaon. Goku, who had been one of the attackers, yelled to the others, "Did you see if he was hit?" No one could answer, so they waited for the smoke to disappear. When it did, they saw with dismay that the shadowy Saiyan had put up an energy field around himself, unscathed from the blasts.
"Alright, that's it!" Sikyomaru yelled, and he raced right for Xiaon, throwing punches and kicks at high speed but was being blocked or dodged by Xiaon. Then, Naruto, Goku, Vegeta, Shadow, Inuyasha, Cloud, and Talos flew up after the two of them and began to fight Xiaon all at the same time. It was utter insanity as 18 fists flew at Xiaon, who was beginning to see that, even though he could turn enough to block most of them, he kept getting hit, chipping away at him slowly. Finally, he struck out in front of himself with a powerful kick and knocked Vegeta away, and then punched Naruto away from him. However, it was then that he got a devastating kick to his head from behind from Sikyomaru. Xiaon spun around then, only to see Inuyasha, Talos, and Cloud all flying right at him with swords drawn. The air was rife with the sounds of blades swinging, and Xiaon felt the wind from the blades close to his body. Finally, the three swordsmen swung their blades in all different directions at the same time, but Xiaon dematerialized, and the three hit their swords together. "Hey! Where is he?!" Inuyasha cried out, but then saw him up above him, coming down with a ferocious axhandle. However, before he made it to the three, he was hit all at once by Cyborg, Ben, and Ed, who was more or less launched into Xiaon by Eddy. "Alright! Direct hit!" Eddy gloated, but then was hit by Ed when Xiaon used a sweeping kick and sent them all back the way they came. Xiaon, however, was about to blast at the group of fighters when he was bombarded by hundreds of blasts and other projectiles. Starfire, Virgil, Trunks, Mirai Trunks, Vegeta, and Johnny Storm all fired an endless string of attacks at Xiaon, making him fly frantically across the sky. The blasts hit him every now and then, but he kept evading them, not letting them get any solid hits.
But just then, as he had been looking back to watch the upcoming blasts, he turned forward to see Katie, Sakuya, and Areiko all deliver a brutal kick right to Xiaon's face. He was bashed back right into the thick of the blasts behind him, and he was swallowed completely by the destruction. The attackers didn't stop now, and they just beefed up their attacks, joined by Cyborg, Talos, Broly, Raditz, and Shadow. However, even as the maelstrom of attacks built up, they suddenly saw Xiaon blast out from the center of it into the sky, and he began firing his own volley of blasts down at his attackers. "LOOK OUT!!" Others yelled to them, but the ones attacking didn't notice until the last second, at which they only threw up their arms and prepare to feel pain. However, Raven, Susan, and Katie all put up a powerful shields that absorbed all the attacks that Xiaon threw. He then brought his hands up above his head and gathered energy for one massive attack. But before he was able to fire the attack, a huge group of fighters, namely Jiraiya, Kiba, Rock Lee, Gaara, Miroku, Sango, Koga, Sesshomaru, King Vegeta, Nappa, and Slug, appeared right in his face and delivered a storm of hits. Xiaon was being wailed on mercilessly, but then, he screamed and his blue aura raged around him, and the fighters were cast off from him. Then, he blasted forward and delivered powerful blows to Kiba, Miroku, Koga, and Slug, and then, on the other side of the group, he powered up again, trying to fire a huge blast at all of them. But just before he was able to again, he heard a chorus of voices below him say, "Kaaa Meee Haaa Meee!!!"
Xiaon spun his head quickly to see Goku, Goten, Gohan, Sonic, Luffy, Corey, Daniel, and Chelsey all about to launch that famous attack at him at once. He turned full on to them instead and charged up his attack as high as he could before they all yelled, "HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" A gigantic cloud of blue exploded from the group of fighters up towards Xiaon, at which he finally launched his massive red blast. However, he didn't have enough time to put his full power into it. His blast held up for a few moments against the incredible Kamehameha Waves, but finally, Xiaon's blast was defused and he was hit full on by the tremendous force of the blue blasts. "AHHHHHHH!! DAAAAMIIIIIIT!!!" Xiaon screamed as he was launched into the sky at blinding speed, quickly taking them from the fighters' sights.
"Alright! We got him this time!" Luffy cheered at seeing the success of their attacks. However, Goku told him, "Sorry, Luffy. It's not over yet. That wasn't nearly enough." "What?! But we just nailed him with eight Kamehamehas!!" Luffy protested, but Gohan told the pirate, "Yeah, we did, but we've had opponents like this before. That kind of attack is not enough." Luffy looked back into the sky fearfully and asked, "Man, then what will take this guy down?" No one answered, but then, they saw Xiaon descending from the sky again, little damage apparent.
"Well, I gotta hand it to all of you. You sure know how to fight, and to fight in numbers. But in no way will this save you!" Xiaon yelled down, powering up his blue aura again, and suddenly blasting down right towards them all. Taken by surprise, Luffy, Goten, Daniel, Rock Lee, Sesshomaru, and Nappa were hit with devastating force, making them fly down towards the ground as Xiaon jumped from fighter to fighter with crazy speed. But as he flew towards more fighters, he was stopped by a heavy bash to the head from a huge chunk of earth, manipulated by Terra. Then, Xiaon felt another huge blow from a blast of water, thanks to Ellen. Then, to continue this assault of elements, Xiaon felt his whole body seize up as he was hit with rending lightning from Virgil, making him convulse sharply, magnified from the water he had been hit with. Finally, Xiaon, before he could gain back his motor skills, he was engulfed by a huge wall of fire, Johnny Storm's doing. As the flames passed over him, everyone thought it would be over this time. But as the flames dissipated, they saw Xiaon still floating in the air, almost unscathed. "WHAT?! All that, and?!"
Xiaon laughed at the attempts, and then said, "The rock attack hurt a bit, but everything else was child's play. You would have to use electricity 100 times more powerful than that to hurt me, and fire over 9000 degrees greater!" "WHAT 9000?! There's no way that can be right! Can it?!?!?!" Nappa yelled, hearing these numbers. Vegeta looked at Nappa then, feeling as if he had been here before.
It was the sudden outbreak of laughter from many of the authors that made Vegeta realized Nappa must have said that before. Chelsey, through giggles, said, "Ah, I never thought, HA HA, that I'd hear that first hand!" Other authors nodded in agreement, laughing too hard to reply, until Xiaon yelled, "SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!! Enough of the meme!" The authors shook their heads and got ready to fight again. But in the confusion, Eddy, the opportunistic fighter he was, had snuck up behind Xiaon, as he stared daggers at the authors. He got ready to throw a punch as hard as he could at Xiaon's head. With a wind up, Eddy thrust his fist forward and contacted with Xiaon's head with a loud WHAM!!
"HA! GOT YA!!" Eddy gloated, but when he saw no reaction, his face fell. Xiaon then growled, "Did you really think I didn't sense you? And that I would be actually hurt by you?" Xiaon turned around to the wide eyed Eddy, bringing his hand up to backhand Eddy. Eddy threw up his arms in cowardice, but just as Xiaon was going to strike, his hand was stopped dead by someone. Xiaon turned in anger to see Ed, his blank face staring at Xiaon, and he said, "I got something to say to you. I… Um…" Xiaon was getting more and more irritated as Ed continued to look at him without any expression at all. Finally, Ed said, "Oh yeah… DON'T HURT EDDY!!"
At that moment, Ed launched Xiaon towards the ground with unbelievable strength. Xiaon was stunned at this, and Eddy looked back and said, "Way to go, Ed! You always were the stronger one! I'm the more handsome one though!" Many of the others shook their heads, and turned back to the serious task at hand.
Xiaon, though Ed had definitely caught him off guard, balanced himself before hitting the ground, only to find himself surrounded on all sides by a large number of fighters: Dick Grayson, Beast Boy, Usopp, Nami, Zolo, Portgas D. Ace, Richie, Derek, and Saania. Everyone but Saania stormed at Xiaon right away, giving the shadow Saiyan another hailstorm of punches and kicks to block and dodge. But now, as he tried his best to handle the nine fighters attacking him, he found it was getting harder for him to hold off so many fighters. He decided he would need to kill a few of these fighters now. He then suddenly did a spinning kick, knocking everyone off to the sides, and he manifested a sword of out dark energy at that moment. He then turned, thinking about which one he wanted to kill first, until he settled on Usopp, and pointed his sword at him and said, "You die first." Usopp's face filled with terror when he heard this, and tried to get up to defend himself, but Xiaon has already blasted off, his sword drawn back, ready to take the first life. But before he made it to Usopp, all of Xiaon's elation at getting this first kill was lost when he felt a horrible, searing pain in his back, making him stop dead. It wasn't long before that same pain radiated to his gut. It was then he heard a female but cold voice say, "You won't take life today." He was just barely able to turn his head and see Saania, who had him on one of her six foot long sword spines. Saania then held up her hand to Xiaon and blasted him with a huge blue blast, sending him rocketing past Usopp and skidding through the dirt, stopping with his face in the mud. Saania lowered her hand and retracted her own blade, using Reality Warping to retrieve Xiaon's dropped one, which she promptly bent into a U shape, tossing it to the ground.
Others landed behind her after she had done this, and Kaitlyn said in amazement, "Wow, Saania! You're really strong!" Saania listlessly said, "Thank you, Captain Obvious…" Kaitlyn looked at her and asked, "Hey, why do you have to be so cold? I complimented you!" But Saania answered, "You can compliment me when Xiaon's dead." Immediately, everyone shot their eyes back to the crater where Saania had shot Xiaon, and sure enough, he was standing there, his hand clutching his stomach where he had been speared. "But! You hit with such a powerful hit!" Nami nearby cried out in shock. Saania didn't answer, and then Xiaon said from across the way, "Yes, that was quite a powerful hit. But if you think this does me in, you're HORRIBLY mistaken!" It was then that Xiaon showed them a terrifying thing. He snapped his fingers and the wound in his stomach closed up! "He knows… REALITY WARPING!!!" Meegan cried out, not believing what she was seeing. Xiaon then laughed mirthlessly, and answered them, "Ah yes! It's the most wonderful power, like all you authors have! So, let's do all that again, from the top, because I'm ready!!" But Xiaon didn't count that someone was already about to continue the fight, and that's when he felt himself hit with an unbelievable amount of energy! "AHHH! WHAT?!" Xiaon screamed in fury as he was launched into the sky, the huge green blast tearing up the energy he had gained back with his healing.
All of the heroes saw this in awe, and Beast was the one to cry out, "WHOA! Who did THAT?!?!" No one answered, since no one saw who was behind the blast, and they had disappeared after attacking him. But it was when Ellen, on the ground with the others, looked up again and yelled, "SIKYOMARU!!" Everyone shot their eyes skyward and saw Sikyomaru standing right in the way of Xiaon and the blast. Up in the air, Sikyomaru screamed, "It's over this time Xiaon!! YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" With the most daredevil move ever, Sikyomaru launched another green blast, equally as big as his first, right into Xiaon's face at five feet range. With that, both blasts exploded, and the sky lit up with light that beat the sun by fifty times. The ground cracked and shifted complete sections around, the profound heat set some grass in the area on fire, and the humongous 500 foot wide sphere of exploding energy up in the sky seemed to be the end of both Xiaon and Sikyomaru.
The light persisted for several more seconds before finally letting up, leaving nothing but a ball of smoke. Everyone looked up, fearing the worst for the SS6, and hoping the worst for the SS7. But it was when they heard a voice behind them that one thing was confirmed. "Well, hopefully that did it," Sikyomaru said, his confidence high. Everyone wheeled around and cheered, seeing their ally unscathed, and it was Goku that said, "That was an incredible move. I would never had gotten up the courage to do something like that!" "Great job, Sikyomaru!" Luffy cheered, and everyone nodded in agreement, but then they heard a sickening voice say, "Yes, Sikyomaru, well done." Everyone couldn't even move when they heard this voice, but Sikyomaru shut his eyes in frustration, and looked up again to see, amid the smoke from the blasts, that Xiaon was still alive, although more tattered than before. "BUT HOW!?! There's no way anyone should have lived through that!" Gohan yelled from the ground, but Xiaon yelled back, "FOOL! Is it really occurring to you that I would be dead after one attack?! You can't beat me with one single attack!!"
But it was then that someone got an idea.
Katie Richards
"(Thinking) Need more than one attack, huh?" I thought to myself, and then I turned to the others and said, "Alright then, I think we can handle that." Many looked at me confused, and I explained, "I think it's time we put our numbers to good use. We'll put him through one of the most extensive attack combos our universes have ever seen!" "But how?" Dawn was the one to ask, and I replied, "Just pretend you're playing soccer, except you can use any part of your body, and hit Xiaon with energy attacks too. We all have to have a chance to play, if you get my drift?" Everyone looked at each other in anticipation of such an attack, but then Goku asked me, "Hey, what's soccer?" Almost everyone face vaulted at that, but I knew someone was going to ask that, so I answered, "Here, I'll show you." I had been practicing with the memory beam that Adam had used many times, but I could only do small memories. I remembered a soccer game I had once seen, and I beamed it into everyone's heads. At that, Goku said, "Oh, I get it! That sounds like a great plan!"
"Now, there's just one thing. Who's gets to go first, or rather, who can hit Xiaon first to start this off?" I asked aloud. But then I heard Shadow's gruff voice say, "If you need a quick start, I'll do it." I turned to him and smiled, nodding. We then all looked back up towards Xiaon, who was looking at us with dripping malice.
3rd Person
"(Thinking) What are those peons doing? Planning? Like that'll do them any good," Xiaon thought to himself, still trying to focus after that last brutal attack, which, even though he made it seem like it had only done marginal damage, had actually put him down a quarter of his energy. But then, he felt something move insanely fast past him, and he tried to turn quickly to counter it. However, he was too slow to block Shadow's crushing kick to the face, making him plummet down towards the other fighters. "GO! LET'S PLAY!!" Katie yelled to everyone, and all the fighters took off as fast as they could. First one to follow up Shadow's kick was Sonic, who, with his classic spinball, rammed right into Xiaon and sent him flying in another direction. "AH! YOU'LL PAY!! (BAM) ARGHH!!!" Xiaon screamed as he was hit from another direction by Knuckles, who sent him towards the upcoming crowd of fighters. Cloud was the one Xiaon flew at, but was too late to draw his sword, so instead, he axhandled Xiaon hard and sent him towards Gohan, who put his hands above his hand and yelled, "MASENKO HAA!!" The blast hit Xiaon dead on, and he was blasted up in an arc into the air again, only to get suddenly batted around the air by Sanji, Chaser, Hotspot, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Shebang, Rubberband Man, Kaitlyn, and Chelsey, the last of which flipped and came down on Xiaon with a heavy heel kick. He was close to hitting the ground when all of a sudden, the ground jerked up and smashed Xiaon back into the air, thanks to Terra. It was then that Vegeta rushed in and kneed Xiaon hard in the stomach, and then kicked him up to his father, who bashed him back towards Vegeta. Then, the prince kicked him forwards, right towards Mirai Trunks, who charged up an attack, ducked under Xiaon, and blasted him straight up into the air. The blast sped Xiaon up into the air, but on the way up, he was hit from above with dropping knees by Broly, Pikkon, and Bardock.
As the blast dissipated, he was suddenly smashed again from the side by Blaze, Elise, Rouge, and Tails at the same time, sent towards Silver, who uppercut him up higher, and finally to Amy, who, with a hammer with a 20 foot diameter, nearly flattened Xiaon in midair, and sent him screaming down towards the ground again. Once again, just before he hit it, he was intercepted by two blasts, fired by Goku and Raditz, making Xiaon fly sideways over the ground and fly into two more blasts by Goten and Trunks. Xiaon stopped in midair only for an instant, only to get head-butted from the ground when Ed, who Eddy shoved into the ground just before, came out and inadvertently smacked Xiaon up into the air again. Up in the air, Kagome, Shippo, and Jaken each kicked Xiaon in three different places, making him stop again, only to be hit again by Ben.
The attack was going so incredibly well, and Xiaon seemed unaware anymore of the hits, on the verge of losing consciousness. He was then hit down a zigzagging line, in the order of Tenten, Ino, Hinata, Rock Lee, Kiba, Gaara and then Sakura. "NARUTO!!" Sakura yelled as she kicked with her hardest and sent the dark Saiyan at Naruto, who delivered a vicious kick of his own to Xiaon, and then called out, "SASUKE! IT'S TO YOU!!"
Sasuke
I saw Xiaon blasting towards me, almost gone from the utterly merciless string of attacks, and I got a blast ready. But I knew, with a deep sinister feeling, that this blast would not hit Xiaon. I would miss, and Xiaon would just have the time he needed to get back up. As Xiaon raced close to me, I held up my hand and fired the beam, just a hair too late. As my secret ally flew past, my beam nicked his feet, but didn't hurt him. I yelled out, "OH NO!!" I turned to look at Xiaon, not letting the others see the smirk on my face, and I watched as Xiaon finally stopped and floated in midair.
"OH MAN!! HE'S BACK ON HIS FEET!!" Talos yelled out from below the Naruto characters, having planned to take it after me. I looked down at the others as they approached and smoothly said, "Guys, I'm so sorry! I was so close, and I didn't expect him to come my way!" Naruto, however, didn't give me any anger, but just secretly disgusted me when he said, "Don't worry, Sasuke. It's alright. We nearly got him now anyway!" I turned back to Xiaon as the others began to get closer, wanting to finish the fight. But it was I that knew that none of the weaklings knew what Xiaon really was.
Xiaon
Finally, after one of the most painful things of my life, I was finally granted a reprieve, thanks to the lack of effort from Sasuke. I laughed, though with a hint of frailty in my voice, and said, "Well, nice try to all of you, but it looks like the other team scored the point and won the game. Heh heh heh…" But then that Katie yelled up at me, "Don't delude yourself! We got the most points! In other words, there's no way you're going to win now! Your energy has fallen over half!"
This was when I decided there was no running from it anymore. I knew that I couldn't toy with these fighters. At least, not like this…
"You're right," I told them, and they all seemed shocked that I admitted it. "I have no chance to win against you like this. My energy has fallen too much, over two thirds actually." They looked at me with mostly triumph, but there were a few who looked nervous or suspicious, and one of them, interestingly, was Sikyomaru.
Sikyomaru Daiyoma
There was just something not right about this. Xiaon wouldn't be so calm about this, would he? No, there had to be something terrible about to happen. I watched Xiaon carefully as he drew up his arms, and then said, to my and our gut wrenching horror, "That's why… I'll have to… GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!"
"WHAT?!!!" Seemed to be the popular word, as everyone around me screamed, terrified and drawing back. Now, I was hopelessly worried. If Xiaon was telling the truth, and he did have another level of power to use, then…
"IT'S TIME, TO DIE!!!" Xiaon bellowed, the air rippling with his voice.
Xiaon
I felt the power surging up through me, as I began to bring out this level of power I was hoping to save for Psyagon. But seeing how these cretins had exhausted my Super Saiyan 7 power, I knew that this was my only way to win.
"NOW PREPARE TO WITNESS THE HORROR THAT IS SUPER SAIYAN 8!!!!"
I watched with glee as a wave of stricken, pale faces stared up at me. I loved seeing the look of terror on peoples' faces. I would make sure to justify it!
Katie Richards
I was so sick with fear as I watched electricity swath Xiaon in a cloak of lightning, I wanted to throw up and pass out. This was all a horrible dream! But I knew it wasn't. It was real as real could get.
Slowly, Xiaon's lightning turned from it's normal blue color to a demonically red color, striking the air around him like the tendrils of an angry monster. I felt the power in him rise insanely high. I felt my arms go numb, and I actually felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. Then, I saw his hair grow out and thicken a little more, and he then screamed!
"AAAAAAAAA!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
I was immediately hit with an unbearably bright blast, but I couldn't shut or shield my eyes from the terror I was feeling in my heart. One question resonated in my mind.
"ADAM! WHERE ARE YOU??!!"
Sikyomaru Daiyoma
It was worse than I had ever imagined. I watched as Xiaon reappeared from behind the light, his dark blue aura thrashing wildly along with his red lightning. I realized that SS8 to SS7 was what SS2 was to Super Saiyan. It didn't change him very much, but his energy was what I couldn't believe.
He then yelled down to us, "Well, here it is. Super… Saiyan… 8. How do you like it?" He just smiled at us menacingly, descending towards us as almost everyone else around me looked at him with pale faces. "Aww, what, cat got your tongue? That's alright. I didn't expect you to believe it. Well, now that it's here, maybe it would interest you to know that, while in this form, I am five times MORE powerful than the last form!"
"WHAT?!?!?" I screamed at him, all the blood rushing out of my face and into my stomach. I couldn't believe it… if he was truthful, then… he's now TWENTY times more powerful than me!
"Oh yes. It's quite remarkable how one more form can truly separate one from the rest. Now, shall we get started again?" Xiaon taunted us. It was then that I snapped. I couldn't take it anymore, and I just let out an unearthly scream and launched right at Xiaon, unleashing the hardest punch I possibly could. I hit him directly in the face, and he twisted to one side. I looked at him closely, not ready to celebrate, and felt true fear as the dark Saiyan turned back to me, a smirk on his face, and he said, "I wasn't bluffing about my power."
But I didn't back down. In fact, my anger only rose inside of me, and I raced for him again, throwing punches at the most breakneck pace I could. But he just mocked me, dodging every single one of my attacks. He was making me into a fool!
"I think you're done, Sikyomaru," Xiaon then said to me. I looked at him in worry, only to be suddenly backhanded and hit the ground in one second. The pain was so bad, I felt like I would die. But I needed to live. I needed to be there to fight.
Xiaon
With Sikyomaru out of the way, I turned back to the other fighters and asked, "So, who's next?" I watched them, waiting for someone to step up. But I was taken by surprise when it was Katie who, didn't just step up, but exploded into her aura, screaming, "YOU WON'T HURT ANYMORE OF OUR FRIENDS!!!"
At that moment, she began launching a huge barrage of Ki attacks at me. I smirked, knowing that nothing would work anymore.
Katie Richards
I fired like no tomorrow. Which could be a possibility, but I would never let that happen. I kept attacking, throwing as many blasts as I could. Then, I felt our friends step up and helping me, shrouding Xiaon in more smoke. Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Mirai Trunks, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Luffy, Sonic, Shadow, Naruto, Sakura, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Koga, and all of the authors, including Saania, were now all firing blasts as fast as we could, trying to stop this demon from killing us and everything else on this planet.
I thought we might have had a chance, I thought we could win. But that thought was snuffed when I then saw hundreds of blasts flying out from all over the smoke cloud our attacks had made. After a moment, we saw why: Xiaon was deflecting EVERY SINGLE ATTACK!!
I stopped, by hands weak from fear, when I then heard, "KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!" I turned to see Goku launch a beam 50 feet tall at Xiaon, only to get swatted away like a fly.
"AHH! It's no good! He's way too strong!!" Goku panted with fear and exhaustion. But then, I heard Xiaon say, "Oh, I would never have guessed. AH HAH HA HAHA!!!" I tried to think about what we could do to stop him, when all of a sudden, he moved fast to right above all of us, and then screamed, "NOW DOWN WITH ALL OF YOU!!!"
He then summoned his huge aura around himself and I was forced back hard from him. I watched as all of us fell from the sky, doomed to ever reach him again. But before we all went down, I saw Ben, King Vegeta, Gohan, Rock Lee, Broly, Cloud, Talos, Knuckles, and Richie all try one last time to fight him head to head. However, whereas before Xiaon would get hit from time to time, this time, he just stood there and took every single hit. Even from some of our most powerful friends, Xiaon was not taking a bit of damage.
"Fools!" Xiaon roared, and then powered his aura up even farther, making the lightning pour out from himself and strike them all, sending them smoking to the ground. "OH NO!!" I screamed, rushing to each of them with Instantaneous Movement and healing them quickly. But now we were all on the ground, and Xiaon's terrible aura would keep us from ever getting to him.
Then, I turned and saw Areiko and Sakuya come up to me and Areiko said, "Katie, should Adam be back by now?!" I thought about it, but I realized that it had been, in total, only five hours. "No… He's gonna be gone for another hour…" "WHAT?! But we'll never survive that long!!" Sakuya cried out. I would normally protest that, but this time, I couldn't think of a reasonable solution to this. But I still said, "Don't lose hope. Just pray… We'll make it."
Sikyomaru Daiyoma
I got up with all of my effort to stare back up at Xiaon. This is totally insane! All this time I thought I was unsurpassable, until this maniac comes along and mocks me with SS8. He hasn't even seriously attacked yet. He's just been batting us away with his aura alone. And his single backhand to me had reduced my power so much.
And now, all of us, from all the different universes; Dragonball Z, Sonic, Inuyasha, Naruto, One Piece, Static Shock, Teen Titans, Ed Edd 'n Eddy, Fantastic Four; we were nothing at all, even with our incredible numbers. Even us authors couldn't touch him.
And then, to cement my fears completely, Xiaon then declared from above us, "It's time to finish this! I've had enough fun for today! It's time to wipe all of you out and kill Psyagon's will to live!"
I felt my mouth fall open, my gut churning with enough fear to kill me. "HE'S GONNA DESTROY THE WORLD!??!" I heard Beast Boy, Naruto, and Luffy all cry out in unison, followed by Virgil and Cyborg yelling, "What are we gonna do?! We can't just let him do it!!"
But then, Xiaon bellowed with deafening volume, "SHUT UP!! Dammit! I hate it when people talk in unison. This will shut you up once and for all!!!" I looked numbly up at Xiaon to see that he was pointing his hand down at a bare expanse of earth, at which he explained, "I hope many of you live through the initial blast, because I want to see you writhing in agony in space, gasping for breath, before you die at my hands!"
Xiaon cackled wildly as electricity poured around him, making it nearly impossible for anything to get close to him. In his hand, he charged up a hideously humongous amount of energy, aiming it at the Earth to end everything. I heard so many cowering behind me, waiting for the inevitable to happen. I turned and saw friends and family holding each other, fear gripping them all.
"NO! I WON'T STAND HERE AND LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!" I bellowed, the energy in my body raging to the surface as I prepared to storm up towards Xiaon for the final time.
"NOO! DON'T!!!" I heard many voices yell from behind me, but there was no stopping me now. I charged right for Xiaon, blasting through his lightning, closing the distance between us in seconds. "FOOL! YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED DOWN!!!" Xiaon screamed, after which I saw his eyes glint and my body seized up completely with horrible, rending pain. His bolt of electricity sliced my skin all over, and I fell back to earth, my last stand over. It was all over.
But it was just then that I suddenly felt an incredible soothing warmth flow through me, healing my body. I opened my eyes to see myself encased in sparkling light, that was closing my wounds and restoring my energy in moments. I landed on my feet safely, and I heard Katie call to me, "Hey! That's the light that healed Adam the first time he went unconscious!" But before we could even figure out who had used that light on me, we all heard Xiaon bellow, "NOW DIE, PUNY INSECTS!!!" Then, we all saw the massive red meteor of energy erupt from his hand and plummet towards the earth. I snapped my eyes shut and awaited the inevitable.
Katie Richards
I had huddled in Sakuya's and Areiko's arms as Xiaon's terrible earth-ending blast tinge everything that death red. I thought it was all over… But several seconds went by. Twenty seconds…
Why hadn't the ground disintegrated beneath us? The three of us, along with most everyone else, looked up towards where the blast had fallen and should have killed us. The dome of energy was definitely monstrous, but then the red light faded, and the earth was still here, a 500 foot crater remaining from Xiaon's attack.
I then heard Inuyasha ask, "Was that supposed to be some kind of ridiculously sick joke?! 'Cause if it was, I'm NOT laughing!" But it was what Xiaon said next that amazed us all.
"WHAT?!! WHY HASN'T THE EARTH BEEN ANNIHILATED!??! THAT BLAST SHOULD HAVE REDUCED IT TO ASH!!" "You mean, he couldn't destroy the Earth?" Talos asked near me, but then, to ours' and Xiaon's sudden surprise, we heard another voice speaking as if he were using a huge speaker.
"It would take a lot more than a Super Saiyan 8 to destroy the earth while the Infinity Seal protects it. That is, if it even can be." I looked around carefully, trying to figure out who had said that. I looked up at Xiaon and saw even he was completely lost.
"WHO SAID THAT?! SHOW YOURSELF!!!" Xiaon screamed to the air, but then we heard the voice say, "I'm already here." When I heard this, I decided to try to sense him, who sounded like he had been through something really traumatic.
But it was when I felt him that my breath caught in my throat, and I realized who had saved us. "He's… Up in the sky!" I cried out, as many of the others seemed to realize.
Immediately, all eyes went skyward, including Xiaon's, and we saw him. With the power of a SS5, he floated up there above us, with a power that seemed extremely, somehow, unnaturally hidden.
"WHO ARE YOU, PEST?!?" Xiaon roared, his fists shaking as he stared at the being in the sky. As if one of us had asked him that, he began to descend, and spoke in a voice that calmed us.
"I am the one who has been watching over reality, making sure no evil became too powerful. I am the one who brought the one called Adam back to consciousness after the fight with the one called Mada." I gasped when I heard this! It really was him!
"I am the one who returned Adam's power to help him defeat the Nine-Tailed Fox. I am the one who kept Sonic the Hedgehog from dying of a wicked machination of evil."
I heard both Elise and Amy from a little ways away gasp and the rest of the Sonic team stared up with wide eyes at the being. Naruto and his village were also looking up in awe of what this young man said he had done.
"I am the one who intercepted the missiles that threatened your lives. And I am the one who has driven you all to become stronger."
He was nearing the earth now, and I could see him clearly. He wore a completely black fight outfit, along with black combat boots. He had brown hair and was over six feet tall, facing away from us and looking up at Xiaon. Then, he turned to us and I saw, like many "oooooh'ed at, that this guy, who looked like a teenager, had the deepest blue eyes I'd ever seen! "And now… I've come to put an end to this battle," He finished, his resolve unparalleled.
But before any of us could say a word as he finally touched the ground, we were cut off by Xiaon crashing into the ground in front of the teen, who was now standing at the point of our group. "I DIDN'T ASK FOR A BIOGRAPHY! WHO ARE YOU?!?!?" Xiaon impatiently yelled at the teen.
He then smirked as he turned to Xiaon, his arms crossed.
"Who am I?"
He dropped his arms, paused for a moment, and finally said…
"I am Unlimited."
Xiaon
This kid just came out of nowhere and ruined all my fun and foiled my attempt to destroy Psyagon's friends without him knowing who did it. And what pissed me off the most was… I DON'T KNOW HOW HE STOPPED IT!! MY ATTACK HIT THE GROUND!!!
But I composed myself, and I asked the kid, "Alright, Unlimited. I find it very hard to believe we're standing on earth right now. Care to fill me in on how you made this so?"
Then the kid just chuckled at me, making me even more irritated, and then he said, "Take a look at your feet." I shot my eyes to my feet to see that I was standing on some glowing symbol, in the shape of an-
"An infinity symbol?" That insolent Katie said. "So what?! What does this have to do with anything?!" I roared at the teen, at the end of my patience.
"It's simple, Xiaon," Unlimited started, surprising me that he knew my name, "That is the Infinity Seal. As long as I live, this seal will absorb all the shock the earth takes. In other words… Unless you kill me, you can't kill this planet." I shot my eyes back to the kid, wondering if he did have such incredible psychic powers. But then, I figured out the flaw in his plan.
"Heh heh heh… HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Great job, kid. I must say, well done!" I announce, the other insects behind him becoming afraid as I start clapping. "You've managed to keep these worthless vermin alive for a few more minutes than I intended. But if you really think you're gonna stop the inevitable, I'd love to burst your bubble."
Unlimited
I found it interesting how everyone seemed to think I was doing the impossible.
"Is that because you're a Super Saiyan 8, Xiaon?" I asked of the shadow Saiyan, who stared at me. "Of course! And you're simply the power of a -HA- Super Saiyan 5!" This caused a smirk to tug at my lips.
"Fine then, Xiaon. I see what I have to do then." At that moment, from my arm, I detached one of three heavy metal armbands, which I called bracelets, that were fastened to it. "Well Xiaon. How about now?"
I watched Xiaon with amusement as his originally calm face turned slowly to fear and incredulity.
"No… It can't BE! You're as… AS POWERFUL AS ME?!" Xiaon yelled, making everyone behind me gasp in shock.
"How did you increase your power so much?!" Talos then asked me. I replied, "I'll explain as soon Xiaon is destroyed." But then, Xiaon yelled in front of me, "HA! This guy might be as powerful as me, but I'll still win!!"
"Is that so, Xiaon?" I asked the dark Saiyan. I lowered my arms and faced Xiaon full on. "Let me show you… the fruits of my struggles." And once more, from my arm, I dropped another bracelet and increased my energy again. It was now that I saw true, paralyzing fear wash over Xiaon's face. "N-NO! It… can't be! Your power! It's as… as big as…" Xiaon choked and sputtered with denial, and I told him, "Yes Xiaon… Super Saiyan 10."
Xiaon
NO! This isn't true! There's NO way that this fool was as powerful as a Super Saiyan 10! "IDIOT!! YOU'LL NEVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN ME!!!" I then launched right at the fool, my fist ready to bash through his face, and I heard the others gasp as I thrust my fist forward, my punch like a cannonball 100 million tons heavy!
But when my fist contacted his face with earth-cracking force, I found out his face was, to my cannonball, a Vibranium, Adamantium, and Uru composite wall a million miles thick. In other words, I felt sickness overcome me as my fist smashed right into his face and…
"IT DIDN'T EVEN BUDGE HIM!!" Goku yelled in astoundment. I stared with unparalleled fear at the teen, who just stood there, unfazed at all by my attack. My hands shook, and I slowly withdrew my hand. It was then that Unlimited suddenly charged up an aura of gold all around him, like a Super Saiyan, and said, "Is it clear, now, Xiaon?"
I wasn't going to let this kid humiliate me. I would NEVER let any of these peons humiliate me. I then manifested my sword of dark energy and lunged at him as fast as I could, drew it back, and swung as hard as I could.
"HEY!! LOOK OUT!!!" Many yelled at the teen, but I smiled evilly, seeing that the fool wasn't going to put up a defense. But just as my blade was inches from his face, something appeared from nowhere and stopped my sword!
"WHAT?!" I screamed, baffled until I saw, in Unlimited's hand, was a sword of his own, a lustrous, incredibly forged sword. "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWORD?!" I demanded of the teen, and he simply answered, "The same place you did. My energy." I grunted with anger, and jumped back again, ready to lunge at him again with the sword, until I heard a metallic thud on the ground, and I looked down to see the end of my sword blade on the ground. I stared at it with astonishment, and then looked back at Unlimited, who said, "You need practice forging your swords."
Unlimited
I figured it was time to show Xiaon how extensive my powers were. Throwing my sword into the ground and transferring its energy back into my hand, I told the shadow Saiyan, "You will be the example for my powers, Xiaon."
"What's he gonna do?" I heard Naruto ask someone, and Sakura answered, "I'm not sure." I looked at Xiaon with a smirk, and then brought one of my hands up in front of me. Xiaon instinctively threw his arms up to block it, but he wasn't ready for the ground to rise up from underneath him and crush him in a powerful grip. "ARGH!! WHAT?!" Xiaon screamed, and I told him, "I control the elements, Xiaon." I then clenched my raised fist and a sphere of water materialized on Xiaon's head, cutting off his air and making him panic. I then pointed my hand at the water and launched a bolt of lightning from it, which sliced the water with a harsh BZZZZZTT!!! sound, followed by Xiaon screaming, "AAAOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" Then, I chopped the air sideways and a thin wave of flame 50 feet wide launched from arm, heading for Xiaon. "AHH! NO!" Xiaon yelled, and freed his arms at that moment, pushing himself up from the path of the fire. The flame cut into the rock and turned it to lava instantly, setting the ground on fire. Before dealing with Xiaon, I waved my hand towards the fire and a hundred thousand gallons of water turned the lava back to stone and put out the fire.
When I turned up to Xiaon, I saw he was preparing to launch a powerful attack at me, yelling, "ENOUGH OF YOUR TRICKS! NOW DIE!!" With that, he launched the attack at me, a large blast of red energy. But by simply slapping my hand through the air above me, I unleashed a blast of powerful wind, that easily sent his attack back at him. "WHAT??!!" Xiaon roared, as he barely sidestepped his attack. However, he didn't reckon with the wind that hit him with surprising force, and sent him right into his own blast, causing a rocking explosion that tinged the sky red. Then, before the smoke cleared, I extended my first two fingers and thrust them right at the cloud of smoke. At that moment, a burst of brilliant light shone through the cloud and Xiaon's scream of pain told me I had hit my target.
Ellen
I, like Johnny Storm, Virgil, or Terra, was happy to have the ability to manipulate an element of nature. But this guy was something else. He could control them all, including light! "Man, where has this guy been?" Luffy asked, and Naruto answered, "I don't know, but I wish he had gotten here sooner."
I looked back into the sky as the smoke cleared away, and I saw Xiaon had been burned pitch black, with a particularly dark streak across his chest. "Why did that light do that to Xiaon?" I asked Unlimited, who was standing idle now. "Xiaon is evil. All vessels carrying large amounts of evil are burned by that light. To someone like you, it would feel like this."
Unlimited then suddenly turned and thrust his hand at me like he did at Xiaon, and I felt the light instantly hit me. "Ellen!" Talos cried out, rushing towards me and taking hold of me. But when he and I felt the light, he knew he didn't need to protect me. "Ellen, this light… It feels so warm," He whispered, and I answered, astounded, "Yes, like a summer day."
But our peace was suddenly shattered when Xiaon shouted from behind Talos, "ENOUGH OF YOUR DISGUSTING BABBLE!!!" Talos spun around and we saw Xiaon had teleported and was aiming his hand right at us. That's when Talos turned his body to block me from the attack. "TALOS! NO!" I screamed, knowing that he'd be killed!
Unlimited
I didn't even turn around, but I knew Xiaon was not going to hurt anyone here. "HAHAHAHA!!! SO LONG, FOOLS!!" He roared, and fired his blast, only to scream in horrible pain, "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I smirked, finding out he really was so blinded by rage that he didn't notice the bubble of energy that had made him hit himself. I then turned and released the bubble, making Xiaon fall out of a cloud of black smoke onto the ground, burned and hurt badly. "You… You DAMN little runt! You aren't fighting me! You're only making me hurt myself! YOU'RE NOT A REAL FIGHTER!!"
I had expected Xiaon to say this, and I walked over and picked him up by his collar and stared into his face. "If that's what you think, then I'll show you a serious attack." "WHAT?!!" He cried out nervously, just before I lobbed him effortlessly into the air, my hand pointing at him.
Then, I began to manifest within myself the ultimate form of energy, one that only I, in all of reality, knew and ever would know, how to create. Electricity sliced the ground around me as the energy appeared in my hand, black and ominously electrified. "Now Xiaon. Farewell."
With my aura blazing around myself, I then finished preparing, and yelled, "Death Matter Blast!" The Death Matter launched from my hand and roared towards Xiaon, who couldn't even scream from his terror. But just before the blast hit him, he finally screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" The Death Matter Blast crashed into him and exploded in a fury of electricity and energy, making his body explode into dust instantly. The explosion was quick, and soon, the smoke from my attack had already disappeared. That was one evil, but there were many more to destroy.
I then turned back to the group of fighters that I had saved, and smirked at their stunned looks.
Naruto
"Guys… Did, uh, Unlimited kill Xiaon?" I asked, dumbstruck out of my mind, but Sakura affirmed, "Yeah, he did…" Unlimited, tall and ominous in his black fighting outfit, just stood before us now, looking us over. He seemed calm, so I eased up a little. Finally, I broke down and asked, "So, uh, Unlimited…" He looked at me, smiling, and asked, "Yes, Naruto?" "Wha?! You know my name?!" I blurted, shocked silly. "Yes, like all of yours. But your question…" Unlimited told me, extending his hand to me. "Oh yeah, um…" I stammered, but then Katie took over, "I think what Naruto is trying to ask is, where did you come from?"
Unlimited
I knew that would press this question, so I began, "I won't tell you everything yet, but I will answer your question. The place I just came from escapes description. There are no words for the terror this universe contains." "Wait! You came from another universe?!" Goku exclaimed, and I nodded, continuing, "As you have seen by now, I possess powers far greater than it would seem possible. Travel, communicating, and interacting between universes are simple tasks for myself. But they came at a price. Like any of you, I unlocked this power through training. But the training I went through is far more intense than I even want to subject your minds to yet."
"Aww, come on, man," Beast Boy then stepped forward and challenged, "It can't have been that bad." I stared at Beast Boy, whose face fell, and I asked, "Would you like to see a moment of what I endured?" "Yeah, I bet I could take a hundred moments of it!" I then lowered my head a bit, and, unbeknownst to him until the last second, I sent him the images. It was instant.
"AHHH! N-NO!!! AHHH!!!" Beast Boy bellowed, collapsing to the ground, his hands over his head in sheer horror. "Beast Boy!" Dick Grayson yelled, running over and trying to help him to his feet. "NOO! GET AWAAAY!!! AHHH!!!" I decided he understood, so I reached into his mind and caused him amnesia, making him forget he ever knew the details of this universe. He stopped screaming and just laid still on the ground for several moments before finally getting to his feet again, his face pale and sickened, and he said in a wavering voice, "Dude… How could you take that?" I closed my eyes, knowing that it was absolutely necessary to understand the workings of evil. Then, Cyborg asked alongside Beast Boy, "How long were you there for?" I looked up at them, and at all the rest, many of which had felt Beast Boy's fear even though they didn't even know what it was he feared.
"Two years." "WHAT?!!" Beast Boy yelled out, looking at me as if I were a ghost. "But that's just how long you were there. You obviously trained for less than two years there," Gohan interjected, using logic, but I just smirked at him. "If that were the case, I wouldn't have destroyed Xiaon like I had. All of the training you have all done allowed for breaks, periods of rejuvenation. One luxury I was never afforded in that realm… There was no sanctuary… Two years, without stopping."
"That's not possible!!" Vegeta roared, and Goku added, "Yeah, you had to stop and eat, didn't you?" I closed my eyes, and I answered, "I have long since eliminated the need for food, water, or sleep. Though I can still have them if I wish, they are no longer weaknesses of mine." Inuyasha asked, "No water, no food at all? How can you function?" I smirked, and I answered, "You'll find out soon." There was silence for a moment, and then Sakuya asked, "How did this all start for you?" I shook my head, and answered, "That is a story for when I have you all here. There is one missing, is there not?"
Everyone gave an affirmative, and I answered, "Yes, your friend Adam should be back in a little under an hour." "You already know Adam?!" Katie asked, surprised yet again. "Of course," I answered, "I know much of his powers. He is far stronger than I am, but he still has much to learn about control." "That's Adam for ya," Corey interjected, and some of the others laughed, but that's when I felt a force stirring above me, and I knew I had angered the enemy to these fighters.
Mephelis the Dark
So, this kid finally showed himself. Well, he's gonna wish he didn't appear anywhere in plain sight of me. With a flick of my wrist, I sent a spell towards him, one that would cripple his body and make him useless. I waited to sense the kid's reaction, but… there wasn't one. So I tried again, pushing more psychic energy into the mental attack. But still nothing. I was becoming angry, and this time, I snapped my fingers, putting the maximum amount of energy into the attack. But yet again, I did not feel any change.
"Why aren't you AFFECTED?!" I yelled out loud, but then, from nowhere…
"Mental attacks have long since been completely useless against me," Said the deep, young voice of this fool. I was supremely irritated, and knowing that this kid was protecting the earth with his seal, I was about to consider destroying them all myself. But that's when I heard my son's voice say, "Lord Mephelis, am I mistaken, or has Xiaon really been destroyed by those puny wimps?" "No, my son, it wasn't them. It was that power. The one who has been foiling all my previous attempts to kill Psyagon and his friends. He's here, and he's far more powerful than Xiaon was, and definitely more able a fighter than I had anticipated." "Do you wish me to attack?" Mada asked, but I told him, "No, not yet. I want to watch the kid for some time first." "Yes, father." But that's when I heard that Katie ask the teen, "How much of your power did you use to kill Xiaon back there?" There was a pause, and then the boy answered, "99%."
"MADA!!" I bellowed immediately, and my son answered, "Yes my lord!" "I want you to move in and attack the kid!" "But didn't you just say-" Mada started, but I boomed, "DON'T QUESTION ME, MADA!! Besides, I just learned that he used almost all of his power to kill Xiaon. He is only the power of a Super Saiyan 10, so attack him now, and do not approach him until you reach your full power. This one doesn't mess around. He will kill you if you try to power up there." "Oh, right away, father." Mada finished, and I looked down upon Earth, where the biggest threat to our plans stood. But I chuckled, knowing the kid would be done away with.
Unlimited
"99%, huh?" Goku asked, and I nodded. Then Goten asked from beside him, "Why didn't you just go to 100%?" I smirked, knowing the truth behind that number. But I felt that Mephelis was conspiring against us. I could feel that he was sending his best warrior. He was approaching fast, but Goten asked, "Hey, why won't you answer me?" I realized that this fighter must be cloaking himself so they couldn't sense him, though he obviously wasn't skilled enough to shield himself from me. "What's wrong, Unlimited?" Sonic then stepped forward and said, at which I turned fully away from them, looking into the sky, before finally answering, "We have company."
They all looked up suddenly, some gasps ringing out, before, in the middle of the blue sky, a cloud of black smoke suddenly began to emanate from nowhere. Slowly, the cloud got bigger, and I felt the son of Mephelis, Mada, about to do a dramatic entrance. I heard behind me from Dawn, "What is that?" Katie was the one to answer, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
It wasn't long before the smoke began to dissipate, and the figure was slowly revealed. It was when the red slit eyes of the being came into view that a large number of people suddenly screamed, "MADA!!!!" There was a panic by many of the fighters behind me, Katie saying, "How can this be?! Did Mada take over Adam again?!"
However, the dark side to Adam spoke, "Oh yes, that's right. The last time you pathetic worms and I met, I was still part of Adam. Well, that has now changed. Now, I have expunged myself from that weakling's body, with all of his powers to use. So this time, you won't have the luxury to have Adam seal me away again. This time, we fight to the death! But first, I'd like you to take a look at me. See anything interesting?" He then encircled himself with his aura. It was greenish-yellow in color, with tinges of red throughout. His hair was the same green color, extremely long, over four feet, and floated in midair. At last, a fury of multicolored electricity emanated from his body, the colors red, purple, white, and yellow encasing him in a rainbow of veritable destructive power.
"What is he?!" Naruto was the first to ask, and I answered, having seen Mada achieve this form while I was watching from afar, "He's a Super Saiyan 11." I was prepared for the blast of yells and gasps that filled the air behind me, Sikyomaru being the loudest saying, "NOW THERE'S FIVE LEVELS ABOVE ME?!?!" Up above, the demented Mada laughed cruelly at the others' panic, and then looked at me, saying, "Indeed, I am Super Saiyan 11. I actually am very surprised that you knew that. By the way, I haven't correctly introduced myself to you." The demon bowed to me and said, "I am Nos Mada. It will be a pleasure to destroy you and your newfound allies."
There was general fear circulating behind me, and Luffy asked, "Well, guys, it was nice knowing you." "Man, he's way too powerful! There's no way any of us can beat him!" Talos said, but that's when I finally said, "I always thought Mada was going to be far more challenging than this."
"WHAT?!" "HE'S CRAZY!!!" Were the popular phrases I heard behind me, but I smirked, rising up into the air up towards Mada. "He's really gonna do it?" Cloud asked, and Katie answered, "At this point, he's the only one who might be able to. If he doesn't win, and can't hold off Mada for almost an hour…" No one could bear to think of that, but I knew there would be nothing to worry about, as I became level with Mada. "I am Unlimited. Mada, I have to say, you don't impress me. In fact, I'm highly disappointed. I was under the impression that you would be a challenge." Mada, confident in himself, answered, "Hm hm hm… You're a very calm fighter, even when you must know that I am six times more powerful than you."
"SIX TIMES?!" Many cried out below, but I only chuckled, at which Mada's own smirk changed to a frown. "You underestimate me. I am not at my full power." Mada however, apparently had picked up on my last questions, and retorted, "HA! That's good! I already know you're at 99%! What good will one more percent be?"
I figured it was time I showed him what 100% of my power meant. "Alright, Mada, I think it's time to show you that power doesn't mean everything."
I then released the final bracelet from my arms, and my most powerful ability started to surface. My gold aura appeared again, thrashing around me, about to shatter and give way to my last aura. At that moment, the golden energy around me shot out in all directions, revealing my aura of black energy. Mada looked at me with intrigue, but then, he started to become worried as, around me, the fabric of space began to distort. Slowly, pieces of the world around me began to chip away. But then, as I thrust my arms and caused my aura to swell around me, reality then shattered all around me. A huge gap in space had opened up around me, I at its center. Dead space floated around me now, as more of the edges of this gap dissolved to my energy. Finally, my ability had reached its peak. Mada looked at me, fear arising, and saw the Infinity Seal adorning my forehead. It was at that moment that I released my energy in a huge blast, which sealed up the realm, and brought me to my full power.
Nos Mada
I didn't know what to expect from this kid, but as I watched him break a hole in reality with his power, I knew this kid was going to be far more powerful than we had originally thought. It was then that his energy exploded around him, and a blast of bright light shone forth from his body. I covered my eyes, waiting for his insolent power-up to end. Finally, when his light faded, I turned back to see that this kid definitely knew how to be intimidating. With a fierce black aura slicing the air around him and an infinity symbol on his head, he seemed to have become much stronger. But as I sensed his energy, I began to laugh, and then I cackled with delight.
"AHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAA!! THAT'S your full power?! You're negligibly stronger than before! " I guffawed at him, and then asked a question I had wanted answered, "But tell me something, Unlimited. You are a Super Saiyan 10, aren't you?"
Unlimited
I knew the deeper meaning behind his question, so I answered, "No, I'm not." I heard a lot of the others become confused below, but Mada said, "I knew it, you're not a Saiyan. Oh well, you could have had such potential. Well, I'll show you why the Saiyans are the most powerful race in existence!"
I smirked, and then I asked, "Do you want to know what race I come from, Mada?" Mada didn't answer, as if I was going to say something he didn't expect. And I did.
"I am from the human race." I declared, and watched as Mada's face turned to utter shock. I sensed the general same feeling down on the ground, and then Mada said angrily, "You're LYING! No human is this powerful!"
I smiled though, and raised my arms, saying, "For far too long, the human race has been the target of ridicule and disrespect. They have always been considered the weakest and lowliest of creatures, subject to torment and slaughter throughout the millennia. Then, they have been the reason for poisoning many of the planets throughout reality, and causing such pain and suffering to each other. But now, Mada, and everyone, I will bring the human race up from its squalor by showing you the power that the humans can really achieve!"
