Author's note: Welcome back to Heart of Vengeance! This week we will be finally fully meeting our little OC enemy properly! Lets get to the good part already!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball or any of its affiliates. However I do own my own OCs and the plot of this story.
When Vegeta had finally managed to get up, he was furious. He lifted a hand up to his robotic enemy and blasted it with an unparalleled amount of energy, destroying it.
He then flew into the air and extended his fingers. He then opened fire on the robots, bringing each one down by blasting their arms and legs off before destroying the torso and head. He spun around, and continued this for every robot that tried him, he would let no one escape.
Once all the robots had been blown apart he landed and his allies surrounded him. "Everyone! Quickly, lets destroy these pieces so they don't get back and transform into something worse!" He commanded, and they all complied, even Seventeen. Once most all of the robotic bits were destroyed Vegeta gathered his allies.
"Alright, I'm not sure what's in there, but we need to go get Thirteen, so I will be taking the strongest fighter with me in an attempt to get him out of the creature. The rest of you will remain out here and try to keep any robots from the civilians, that means blasting anything that gets too close to either the Namekians or my ship." He stated, laying out the plan.
He then turned to the Namekians that had started moving their way when the coast looked clear. "You! Nameks! Bring us your strongest warriors to help us in this endeavor!" He commanded, and four Namekians flew up to him and his group.
"You four will work with my team to keep your people and my non-combatants safe from any further robotic resistance. Since you are all incredibly weak, you will be providing assistance to those who need it, if no one needs help stay on the sidelines, we don't need to be saving you every five minutes." He said, being as clear and threatening as possible. The Namekian warriors understood, and simply nodded, albeit reluctantly.
"Great." He said before turning toward his allies. "Myself and Android 18 will move in, Celera I'm putting you in charge while I'm gone. I need you to take them back to our ship, there the civilians will be herded into the ship and held there, they will be safer inside than anywhere else. Everyone got that?" He asked, looking dark. He waited until he received conformation before looking directly at Eighteen. "Let's move...
He smirked, all was going well. He hadn't planned on having Vegeta enter the Star yet, but it mattered not. Thirteen was almost integrated into the Star's mainframe, soon he would be his greatest puppet! An indestructible Android with a special transformation, boosted by the power of the Big Gete Star would be unstoppable! Soon he could begin his conquest of the universe, after he'd gotten ahold of the infinite power core within both Thirteen and Eighteen, that is.
He turned to a wall, and the pseudo-organic substance that made it up opened, revealing a small room where Thirteen was being held. Wires protruded from the wall into his skull, arms, legs, and torso, with one large wire plugged into the back of his neck. Thirteen was both sharing and being given power with the Star, and his will was slowly being overshadowed by the programming of the Star. He was struggling of course, trying desperately to undo the levels of control he was being put through, but failing miserably.
Hehe, soon he'd have everything. He stepped out of the room and strolled over to a monitor where Vegeta and the beautiful Android 18 were walking toward the Star, with a wave of his hand he opened a compartment into the Star. The duo walked in without a second thought. Foolish. They were in his world now...
Vegeta found the inner area of the creature to be odd. It seemed to be bio-mechanical in nature, and had hard walls with fleshy wires and or veins running through it. Eighteen shifted closer to him as he held his arm over his head, illuminating the dark hallway. "This place is disturbing." She said, trying to play the closeness off. It wasn't working.
Vegeta laughed. "That's an understatement, I hope that wherever Thirteen is he's fine, I can only imagine the horrors such a place could put him through.." He shuddered as he thought of the Glorpians.
The duo walked in silence until they came across a large open area that just screamed 'ambush.'
"Well this screams ambush." Eighteen said, getting into a ready stance. Vegeta followed suit, and almost immediately the walls lashed out at them. Tentacles shaped like wires flew from the walls, but these were sharper than the ones that took Thirteen, meaning that these weren't keen on taking prisoners.
"DODGE!"
Vegeta and Eighteen leapt up at his command, moving past the tendrils as they went crashing into the ground, causing several holes in the floor, which quickly fixed themselves, almost like regeneration...
Vegeta didn't have time to think on that as several more lashed at them, one even getting as far as to graze his shoulder; drawing blood. This meant that these things were stronger than his base form. Without so much as a grunt he transformed into a Super-Saiyan and blasted a wire apart. He couldn't take a moment to revel in his victory as two more shot out at him.
He caught each in either hand and ripped them from the walls, he dropped them then watched as they were reabsorbed into the creature. Interesting, but before he could think more on that, four tendrils fired from either side of him, these he had to dodge.
"I see, cut off one head, two grow in it's place, the old myth of the Hydra." Vegeta said, finally learning the pattern.
As Vegeta dealt with his tendrils, Eighteen was having problems fighting them all off.
She had to learn the hard way how the tendrils worked, and now she was battling eight at once, each one lashed out and struck her in a different place. Causing parts of her clothes to rip and bits of her skin to begin to bleed, something she wasn't used to.
With a roar she extended an energy field around herself and vaporized her tendrils entirely. And of course, sixteen blasted out of the walls to take their place.
"This isn't working!" She yelled to Vegeta, who was working on his own enemies. "Follow me! I have an idea!" Vegeta roared, blasting around the room. Eighteen followed just slightly behind and watched as he twisted and turned in a seemingly random motion.
This went on for some time before Vegeta stopped and landed. Eighteen landed next to him, and finally saw what he was up too; he was getting the tendrils to tie themselves into a knot, and since they didn't seem to have much in the way of a plan other than 'attack' and 'chase' it had worked. The Prince laughed as the Tendrils desperately tried to free themselves and failing. "Hmph, seems this thing isn't as smart as I originally thought, especially if it can be fooled so easily.
Eighteen rolled her eyes. "Come on, lets go, we have a job to do, remember?" She asked sarcastically. Vegeta looked at her with a glare, one she returned.
Silently the duo walked into the hall, this one lit up by bright, surgical lights, like the ones in a hospital. They continued forward for a bit, until the wall to their left suddenly opened up to reveal another darkened path. The two shared a look of apprehension and understanding, before both entered the corridor. Vegeta held up a ball of Ki for light once more, but found that his power was not needed as overhead lights (which they swore weren't there before) suddenly clicked on, illuminating their paths once more.
They were on the defensive almost immediately, but no attack came. The potentially-in-a-relationship-but-not-really duo strolled forward, before coming into a room that resembled a throne room.
In front of them was Thirteen, who was hanging lifeless entangled by wires, and beyond that a man in a metal throne had their back to them. "YOU!" Vegeta shouted. "What have you done with Thirteen, and what is this monstrosity that you have created?!" He demanded.
The voice that came was not what he expected. It was smooth, but at the same time grating, it sounded as though someone was grinding metal together just underneath his voice. "I am this 'monstrosity' as you call it." He, as Vegeta was certain it was a he, said turning to face them. He had piercing cobalt blue eyes, and humanoid features. He resembled one of the Frieza technicians, the ones who handled the technical aspect of things, based on how he was built; scrawny and weak, with what appeared to be a lab coat over formal clothes on. However, he deeply, disturbingly even, resembled Frieza and his family in a way. He had the effeminate tone of Frieza's first form, the foreboding and yet classy smile of King Kold, and he had the smugness of Cooler written all over his face. His head was bare, with a large bio-gem right were the Arcosian royal bloodline had theirs. He was also no taller than either of Frieza or Cooler's final forms.
He was a chilling being.
"My name is Gete." He said, giving that killer smile and standing only to take a bow with one arm crossed over his chest and shoulder; exactly the way he once bowed to Frieza. "And this is the Big Gete Star, where I was born." He gestured around, to the creature, which Vegeta now realized was not a creature at all but actually some kind of bio-mechanical machine!
"But we'll have time to swap origin stories later, while I'm draining you of your power." He straightened up and pointed at Vegeta. "And I'm making you into a fully Starified version of yourself, unlike Unlucky 13 here, who's only slightly Starified." He pointed at Eighteen.
"Yeah." Vegeta said, powering up. "Like we'll let that happen!" He laughed haughtily.
"Thirteen, please knock Prince Vegeta out, and try to take the fight outside please." Gete commanded, clasping his hands behind his back and giving a knowing smile.
Vegeta looked on in horror as the wires disconnected from Thirteen, and the person he thought of as a friend rushed at him. Vegeta brought up his arms to block and felt the country android's fists crash into his locked elbows.
"Hmph, fool. I'm far stronger than Thirteen, even if he were to transform! I'll end this in an instant!" He laughed, kicking Thirteen away and watching him be caught by several of the silver tendrils.
Gete continued to smile however, as if he was completely in control of the situation. "I've increased his full power outage, he is now far stronger than the Super-Saiyan form proper in his transformed state, and it wouldn't surprise me if he could give that mutation of it that you have to the test. The power it took from the star was high, but I'm sure it will pay off in the long run." He said, explaining it as if he were talking about how he had trained a dog to roll over and had to spend more than ten bucks of dog treats in order to teach it.
Thirteen was righted and immediately powered up to the normal form's maximum. He flew at Vegeta and cracked him across the jaw, sending him out of a hole that was created an instant before Vegeta hit it.
The hole led outside, where he would find a mountainside to be excruciatingly painful as he slammed into it. 13 found his way outside and landed in front of him, and Vegeta got his first really good look at his friend.
13 appeared to be in pain as with every step his muscles tried with everything they had to break free of the control, but Gete was smart, 13's veins were silvery, implying that the Star was inside him controlling his movements remotely.
"OK, Thirteen, this is going to sound really sappy, but I need you to try to break free and think about all the good times we've had together. Like killing Gero! That was fun rig-" 13 slammed a fist in Vegeta's jaw, sending him further away. He hit the ground, and looked up to see his friend approaching with calm, cold determination.
Vegeta staggered to his feet and wiped blood from his lips. "OK then, I'll just beat the control out of you." He powered up to Super-Saiyan, and 13 stopped.
"Powering Up." He said, his voice monotonous. Then, his muscles rippled further as he transformed, which only made his silvery veins more noticeable. And his eyes, that were normally green-yellow in this form, were now cobalt blue, like Gete's.
Vegeta rushed 13 without a second thought, and slammed his fist into his face. 13 went back, but was unharmed otherwise. He opened his mouth wide, and fired a wide yellow mouth blast. It tore through the air with ease, and Vegeta was taken off-guard by the speed. The blast exploded on contact with the Prince, who felt his armor be blasted to bits, revealing his ripped body underneath.
"Wonderful." Vegeta growled, picking himself off the ground from the explosion. He then raised into the air and unleashed a flurry of Ki blasts across the Namekian ground, each one stronger than the last.
13 however easily flew through them, his face blank even when hit; clearly he wasn't doing enough damage. Fine then.
"Alright! I hadn't wanted to believe the robot, but it seems that i'll have to use my new form." Vegeta stated, ceasing the volley of energy blasts. 13 reached Vegeta's height level and looked like he wanted to attack, but something held him back; Thirteen's mind was trying to help him!
Vegeta smirked at the idea, and closed his eyes, dropping the smirk as he began to focus on the anger, the rage built up inside of him. This was what had triggered the original transformation, there was an explosion of energy as Vegeta opened his eyes and flung his arms to his sides! A raging orange-gold aura formed around him, and his power skyrocketed!
Without a word Vegeta flew toward 13 and was on him immediately, his fists were a blur to the Android as he pummeled him the best he could. The large blue brute was forced backwards with each hit, and on the final uppercut of the combo a bit of spittle flew from 13's mouth.
Vegeta finished up with a Big Bang Attack that sent 13 flying away into the distance. Vegeta pressed his advantage and flew after him, punching and kicking, until the Android had enough. He unleashed an energy field that ceased the Prince's attack, and righted himself. 13 then powered up himself, going to what he classified as maximum for this form.
13 then went forward and struck Vegeta hard, he went sailing to the ground below, and the Android kept up his attack. He pummeled him until they reached the ground, where rocks were sent up. Vegeta brought his legs up and kicked 13 in the chest before he could try anymore attacks. As the Android went flying Vegeta pulled himself out of the crater and glanced around. Namekians all surrounded him, each looking worried, and to his left and right were his allies. "That's just great." He said, voice dark. "That fool dragged me all the way back to the ship."
Seventeen, Sauza, and Celera were around him in an instant. "Don't ask, and don't get involved, he's too much for any of you." Vegeta said, before blasting into the air, hoping his allies wouldn't follow. Thankfully they didn't, but that was because of something else.
The Ice Demons were back.
As the Namekians all got back, Celera, Sauza, and Seventeen all readied themselves for a fight and blasted into the air. Their foes all met them with a flurry of blasts. Seventeen and Celera dodged easily, and Sauza's hand lit up as he used his Sauzer Blade to cut the orb shaped blast into pieces.
Behind them Tien and the three Namekian Warriors charged after them, ready to take on as much as they could. However, a solitary Ice Demon appeared in their way, stopping them cold. Tien launched a fist at them, which went unnoticed by the machine, but The Namekians backed him up with several blasts, each one resulting in an explosion.
And yet the machine was not fazed in the slightest. Tien understood what was happening and turned to the other warriors. "Mollusc! Kotai!Ocari! Go help the others! Me and Armonic will keep this guy busy!" He commanded, thankful that he had chosen to learn the names of each of the warriors he was fighting with. The trio stoically nodded and left, going to assist in the fights of the others.
"What are we to do?!" Armonic demanded, his voice slightly lighter than Piccolo's.
"I've got a plan, but first I need you to keep it busy and in one place, do you have anything that can do that?" Tien asked, raising a defensive white aura around himself as the machine approached, its movements incredibly slow and robotic.
"Maybe, I do know a little of the ancient magic..." He trailed off and lifted a hand toward the Ice Demon. "Ack Tornica Alcum!" He roared, and suddenly the Ice Demon was frozen in place with actual physical ice over it's body. "Whatever it is you plan to do, please do it now! I can't hold it for long!" Armonic cried, strain evident in his voice.
"Right!" Tien then lifted higher in the sky and put his hands in a triangular shape...
Vegeta was bloodied and bruised, and 13 was in a similar state, though less so. While the Prince was heavily fatigued at this point, the Android showed no signs of such fatigue and only stared coldly. Even as a trickle of metallic blood trailed down his blue face.
Vegeta powered up, using the energy as a way to revitalize himself, before blasting off toward 13 with one fist raised. 13 followed suit, matching his pose.
They collided and their fists met each other, neither being able to overpower the other. But then, Vegeta smirked as his suddenly rocketed into the air, his hands clasped into the pose of a Galick Gun. Purple light appeared around the shirtless Prince as he readied the blast.
13, knowing what he was up too lifted his hands and dark energy appeared in them. "S.S Deadly Beam." He stated his voice a monotone, with none of the normal girth of Thirteen.
Vegeta laughed, a rare sight in this form, as 13 fired the blast at him. Then he roared. "Galick Gun Fire!" And brought the beam forward, where it collided with 13's.
They struggled for a moment, but Vegeta was clearly starting to gain ground. As the Galick Gun began to gain ground however, 13 suddenly unleashed a blast from his eyes that floored the S.S Deadly Beam to new heights!
Vegeta's enraged Aura flared around him as he began pouring more power into the attack, but it was to no avail! 13 was rapidly gaining power!
But little did Vegeta know, this power was not coming from 13 himself, rather it was Gete granting his new toy far more power from the Star, which had found itself a very strong replacement for it's core...
Soon the beam overpowered the prince, and he was swept up by it. As Vegeta went flying he felt his form drop back down to base, he was far out of power.
Vegeta soon hit the ground, and tried with everything he had to stand back up, but it was useless. His bones felt like jelly, and he was pretty sure he'd reopened his wounds from the fight against Gero...
13 appeared over him, just a hint of remorse in his eyes as his hand lifted up, muscles tightening all the way. But before an orb of power was even formed, he stopped. Then he looked down at his once-friend.
"Master Gete wants you alive." He said, just as robotic as he said everything else, but with a hint of relief; certainly this was because he didn't have to kill someone he thought of as a friend.
But that sentiment was stomped out of Vegeta's mind, literally as 13 brought a boot up and slammed it into his stomach, knocking him out.
Vegeta was then slung across 13's shoulder, and then they took off.
Celera
Celera looked on in horror as Thirteen took her cousin back to that creature, and powered up to take off after them, but before she could an Ice Demon clocked her across the jaw, sending her sailing with a thin line of blood.
Sauza, seeing this, was suddenly filled with an intense rage! He fired up a white aura of sheer power, and blasted over to the Ice Demon, showing a power level much higher than he'd ever shown! With one punch, the Brench tore right through the Ice Demon's metal chest! He then turned around and blasted it with everything he had, destroying the rest of the body, and leaving just the head, which crashed to the ground and moved no more...
Author's note: So, that was intense huh? Tell me what you think of the current saga right now, and what you think of Gete! Is he a fun villain or nah? I kinda wanted to create a villain who's personality was cool and collected, like he was always in control of the situation. Or more like he was always one step ahead of the heroes, someone who's slightly different from the other villains of DBZ! Anyway we'll get into his backstory next time, but for now it's time for reviews!
F7 city: Vegeta had watched hentai...wow
Me: It's just a little in joke I put in, not to be taken really seriously, but think about it, there has to be at least one alien in the universe who looks like a tentacle monster, right? So it only makes sense... But seriously, it's just a joke, bro
murt1960: If vegeta and 18 don't start sleeping together by the end of the arc I'm gonna go ssj2 on your punk ass! Lol I know it's a t rating but I really wanted a lemon...
Me: Don't worry about them sleeping together my man! I'll see to it that by the end of this arc they'll have done the dirty dance, if you know what I'm saying.. But I won't be showing it graphically, both due to the rating and due to the fact that this isn't Game of Thrones, no random sex scenes for you. Just good old fashioned bloody violence!
Well that's all for this week so
Power Levels:
13: 330 million
