The Red Baron – Tribulation of the Tainted Dragons Saga
Brother VS Brother Part 2
While The Red Baron and the White Warrior began their assault on the new and improved Shadow, the others, Josh, Dawn, and Devyn, were forced to deal with the infested citizens of the city.
Josh was not sure what to do in this situation. He was not prepared for what had to be done. He wasn't sure if he was up to fighting the innocent people that were only under the control of Shadow.
He began to make his way to the crowd, in hopes that his amount of power would be enough to drive them back. As walked toward them, he heard Dawn and Devyn walk behind him.
He quickly turned to them.
"Wait, where are you two going?"
Dawn spoke.
"Where does it look like we're going? We're going to go and help you."
Josh was completely against the idea.
"No, you can't go with me. Don't you get what's going on? Shadow's got them in some sort of mind control and if he's got as much power over them as he says he's got, then they aren't going to be easy on us."
"So what do you expect us to do, just sit here?"
"No, you two need to go now. Far away. Or find a place on the base where you can get somewhere safe. As long as you're here, you're in danger."
Devyn tried to persuade him otherwise.
"Are you kidding us? You're trying to go in there alone. How are you supposed to do anything about them?"
"I'm not sure what to do but either way, it's not safe for you two. I'll have you use some of my powers to keep them at bay and give Carlos and Vanessa enough time to take Shadow out."
Just then, one of the mind controlled people came from behind Josh and smacked him in the back with a baseball back.
Devyn and Dawn screamed and jumped back as Josh fell to the ground. He hit the ground nearly face first. He turned onto his back to look up at the mind controlled figure, whose appearance was eclipsed by the sun. But there was no time to simply lay there.
With a quick grunt, the figure swung back the bat down onto Josh. Acting quickly, Josh role dot his left and quickly lifted him off the ground. Once on his feet, he raised a hand toward the figure and was ready to fire and energy attack when he saw the person in full color. It was his father.
That moment of hesitation was all the other people need as Josh soon found himself under a barrage of punches and kicks from several different sides. Josh was tough but the total impacts of the attacks were harsh even on him, as he was not expecting them. But he managed to regain his cool and quickly jumped into the air and out of harms way.
Devyn and Dawn ran toward him, asking if he was okay but Josh turned his head to them sharply and yelled at them.
"Get the hell out of here! I told you to go! Find a place to hide and get to safety!"
Devyn stuttered a little bust spoke.
"But…"
"JUST GO!"
Josh was then hit again with an attack by baseball bat form his controlled father. The girls took the hit and ran off toward the administrative buildings of the military base they were now on.
Josh shook off the attack once again but now blood was visible as it dripped form his bottom lip.
"Alright guys, I guess it's just the thousand of us."
Josh looked at his father and knew what he had to do.
I'm sorry. I'll get you fixed up afterwards.
Josh raised his hand again and began his own assault on Shadow's minions.
The Red Baron and The White Warrior began to make their attack on Shadow. Using proper coordination, they began their first attack by splitting up and heading in both directions. Quickly going in their direction, they went on two sides of Shadow and tried to ring him in.
The Red Baron and the White Warrior the shouted, drawing in power, and blurred toward Shadow. Shadow laughed as he saw them disappear.
"Such childish tricks. You really think that will work, Brother?"
Just then, The Red Baron and the White Warrior reappeared and began their attack, only to have it stopped by Shadow. Shadow has expected this attack and before they reappeared, had quickly jumped in mid-air and launched his feet both ways and rammed his feet into their faces.
The two great heroes had their heads snap back and land on the dusty ground. The White Warrior was the first to get up and run toward Shadow.
"Fine, bring it girl."
But then, he stopped in he tracks and jumped backwards into the air. Shadow was quickly stunned but then realized the attempt and turned around to see the Red Baron standing next to him, ready to attack. Shadow smiled.
"Too slow, Brother!"
Shadow quickly went for a lightning speed jab to the Red Baron's skull. Shadow's punch hit its target, only to have it go right through him. Shadow cursed under his breath.
After-image technique.
The Red Baron, having caught Shadow by surprise, was able to get above Shadow and make an attack. Before Shadow could look up, the Red Baron, his hands together in one giant fist, hammered down on Shadow's back with full force.
Shadow's body rammed into the ground, creating a small crater under him. Shadow, struggling to get out of the shock of the attack, grabbed at the Red Baron's feet. But before he could grab onto one of them, the Red Baron blurred away again. Then, Shadow realized that he had forgotten about the White Warrior. He turned around in time to see a glowing flash of white light come down upon him.
"SHINING FINGER!"
The White Warrior's powerful blast of purified power came crashing down on his position. With a quick growl from Shadow, the area was covered in a brilliant light and an explosion.
From the smoke, Shadow came flying backward out of it, seemingly unscarred. But the onslaught wasn't over. Just as Shadow appeared from the smoke, the Red Baron came out of it as well and flew right into Shadow with a tackle.
Unaware of the attempted attack, Shadow was hit full on by the attack and sent flying hundreds of feet onto the dry ground and into a building. Dust and debris full all over the area, covering Shadow in a shroud of thick dust. Quickly, he cleared it away from him using his energy but it was not fast enough.
The Red Baron, even from a far distance, was able to pinpoint Shadow's location and with that, began to fire his rapid fire attack.
"BARON MACHINE GUN!"
Shadow was soon drowned in a rain for powerful blips of energy and yelled as they smashed into him. Shadow powered up and with great might, began to ram himself into the barrage of energy balls. Though they had their effect, he was easily ignoring it and began to make his way toward the Red Baron.
The Red Baron refused to move and continued his energy assault on Shadow as he drew closer and closer. But Shadow was not slowing down and he was powering up an attack to fire dead on the Red Baron.
"You are lacking in power, Brother, you will see why it was foolish to oppose my power."
But before Shadow could reach the Red Baron, the White Warrior flew down form the sky and great power and speed, kicked down right onto Shadow and slammed him front first into the ground. Shadow let out a loud scream of pain as he was momentarily dragged on the ground by his own momentum.
The White Warrior jumped off of him and landed next to the Red Baron. They stood together and went into a fighting stance, ready for Shadow to make his move.
After about a minute, Shadow pushed himself up. His face was covered in scratched and he front part of his clothing was torn a bit. Otherwise, he seemed to have not sustained much damage.
"You two are quite the couple there. You had me going in circles trying to get you but you are smart, I'll give you that. You know how to fight me even after all that we've done. I can see that you are going to be very difficult to defeat."
Shadow, with a quick yell, fired a black bema of energy."
"SHADOW RAY!"
The beam of black energy shot out of his hand and right toward the two fighters. Quickly, they separated and went in opposite directions, avoiding the attack. But, they fell into Shadow's trap.
Shadow lunged at the White Warrior and while she was still recovering form the last attack, went up to her and jabbed his knee into her gut. The great power and might of Shadow was shown as from just one jab, the resounding pain that flowed from it was overwhelming. She was sent flying back like a rag doll and landed on her back, rolling slightly, heaving for breath.
Shadow was about to make another move but then he felt a surge of energy. He quickly jumped back and avoided the Red Baron's Baron Beam.
"That was close."
The Red Baron reappeared next to the White Warrior who was just recovering form the blow.
"Are you okay, Vanessa?"
Coughing a little, she answered back.
"Ya, I'm fine. He just caught me by surprise. He's really strong and he almost took me out. We need to watch what we're doing, Baron."
The Red Baron nodded. He helped her get up and they both looked back at Shadow, who was just standing there waiting for their move. The Red Baron yelled at him.
"You are a monster, you know that? Now you just toy with us."
Shadow shrugged.
"Yes, that may be true, Brother, but I am only trying to make this more interest. After all, after all the trouble I went through to bring you here and all. I mean, I even had to get you to kill mom and dad."
Shadow had achieved his result.
"You take that back, you bastard, Shadow! I don't' care if you have my brother's body, you are not my brother and like I said, I'm going to kill you for that! I swear you will die."
The White Warrior looked at him with some concern.
"Please, Baron, you must calm down and focus. You can't let him get to your head like that. We have to beat him but you have to keep your mind clear."
The Red Baron nodded but his teeth still showed bare as he looked at Shadow.
"Fine, the let's do this again."
Shadow smiled.
"No, let's try it my way now."
Shadow disappeared and trying to figure out his technique, the Red Baron and the White Warrior jumped back in hope that he would not get both but they were too late. Shadow appeared in between them and fired a Shadow Ray form both hand and aimed one at each of them.
The Red Baron was hit hard and flew back but the White Warrior was just missed but the attack and had a chance to dodge. But her dodge was not all that good as the piercingly power blot shredded her right sleeve to shoulder clear off and her arm burned with pain. She grabbed at it with her other arm, letting it slip that it had an effect.
Shadow took the opportunity to strike and with a quick dash, flew at the White Warrior and engaged her in battle. The White Warrior quickly regained her form as she took on Shadow one on one. With his dark aura engulfing the immediate area, it was as if the White Warrior was shrouded in darkness as Shadow began to shower of punches and kicks.
The White Warrior responded to his attack and thus they began to exchange blow after blow, floating a few feet in the air. They each called out to their power, expressing each attack with shouts and grunts. The ground around them seem to quake in their power. Powerful vortexes spun the sand and dust and rocks like a small tornado around them.
Though it appeared that the White Warrior was holding her own, the tide soon changed. He was matching his attacks one by one until Shadow found a weak point. He saw his opening and with a graceful style, quick used a spin kick to take a power blow to her injured arm. Though the pain was not critical, it had forced her to hesitate and give her focus to it, completely making herself vulnerable to Shadow's advancement.
Shadow took his chance and began another shower of punches and kicks that drove the White Warrior back. She was unable to regain any momentum as she was victim to every punch and kick Shadow aimed at her. Shadow laughed as with each impact, the White Warrior let out a small but unmistaken cry of hurt that seemed to feed Shadow's desires to destroy her and the Red Baron.
Shadow decided he had enough of this encounter and with a swift kick to her gut, he drove her back into the air, flying back and bouncing on the ground. Quickly, he raised his hand and fired another attack.
"SHADOW RAY!"
The White Warrior looked up and saw the beam head straight for her. She had not time to move and braced herself, certain that the attack would take her out if it connected. But before it could hit, the Red Baron instantly reappeared in front of her and with a quick swipe of his hand, swatted the powerful blast away and sent in flying into the building in the background.
The Red Baron looked out at Shadow, he was breathing hard. A large whole in his red over shirt was plainly on him in his chest area. It was created the blast that Shadow had connected with before. Also, the Red Baron's arm was visibly streaming from the last attack, but the Red Baron seemed to pay no attention to it, his focus was unobstructed.
The Red Baron powered up and summoned his spirit sword.
The White Warrior stood up as well and powered up.
Shadow laughed out loud again.
"So, still think you can fight me? Well, let's see what you got."
The Red Baron and White Warrior yelled out once again and with great speed, charged at Shadow. They were acting as one, their movements and their expression synchronous. They were rushing at Shadow with great speed and power that it made Shadow laugh.
"COME ON! TRY AND STOP ME!"
Suddenly, the White Warrior shot a powerful blast, not at Shadow, but at the ground in front of them. Shadow braced himself to cover himself against the dust but quickly acted as he fired a powerful shot of energy into the dust.
"YOU CAN'T TRICK ME!"
The blast swept through the cloud of dust and exploded with incredible energy that it shook the ground. But no sooner did it hit that Shadow used energy to wipe the dust away. In front of him, he saw that his blast of energy had indeed made contact, but not with the two fighters. In the ground was the broken Spirit Sword of the Red Baron, its energy depleted by the impact of the attack.
Soon, Shadow's face was filled with horror as he quickly turned around. As if in slow motion, he powered a ball of energy and turned to his back and began to fire an attack. But he was much too late as directly behind him stood the Red Baron and the White Warrior, their bodies together as they were in stance for the double Kamehameha they had used against the Dark Baron.
Shadow shouted angrily as he fired his attack but it was for nothing.
Together, the Red Baron and Shadow shouted in unison.
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
The brilliant energy that poured form their hands quickly engulfed Shadow and his desperate attack. Shadow could do nothing and he had no chance of escape.
"NOOOOO!"
And with that, the area exploded in the powerful energy that even launched the Red Baron and the White Warrior sliding back and digging into the ground. The attacked reached its end and the area gave one final explosion of power.
The dust and light settled and the two fighters watched into the distance. They were tired and they were drained. They fell on their knees, gasping for air. But they were not done. In fact, it was as if nothing happened.
In the distance, where he had been hit, was Shadow, standing proud and strong. He looked nearly unhurt by the attack, only a few tears in his clothing and the dust on him. He smiled. The Red Baron stood up in bitter anger and frustration and the White Warrior nearly burst into tears as she saw that their most powerful attack had little effect on the beast that was haunting them.
"BROTHER! HERE ME! I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED YOUR TIME ON EARTH AND WITH HER BECAUSE SOON, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!"
The Red Baron, without turning, spoke to the White Warrior, who was just about to get up.
"I want you to go."
The White Warrior hesitated a bit but answered him.
"No way, I'm not leaving you here."
"You have to go now before it gets worse."
"If it gets any worse, you're going to need me."
"I can handle him myself."
"No you can't"
"Even if I can't I don't want you here to get hurt."
"But if I don't help you…"
"JUST GO!"
The White Warrior went silent.
"GET LOST! GO HELP JOSH! Leave Shadow to me. Now get out of here."
The Red Baron blasted off. The White Warrior watched from a distance for a few seconds. She was full emotion that the Red Baron was acting that way. That he was so filled with anger. But she knew that the Red Baron would be victorious and she was able to sense that their friends were in need of help as well.
She stood up and gave one final look toward the Red Baron and Shadow. They were engaged in a punching fight and she knew her time here helping was over and she made her way to the other battlefield.
Josh was also gasping for air, he was tired and he was sorely attempting to avoid killing any people. But his mercy was costing him. Each time he would take out one person, another would take advantage of the moment and clobber him. Little by little, it was starting to take its effect on him and his energy was running thin.
But Josh, at that moment, lost it advantage. Someone from behind him took another opportunity to swat him on the back but this time, Josh fell to the ground. Quickly, he was mobbed and dozens of mind slaves began to kick and beat at him without mercy. Josh's sight began to fade. He didn't know what to do.
Guys, Carlos, where are you?
