A\N: Some of the scenes were Co written by my awesome friend DJ Rodriguez, just wanted to say how happy I am with this two part chapter, its never easy to write a cool fighting scene that works enough to everyone.
For Morganfreeman: When you say fighting them back to back you mean he won't be fighting them one by one but all at the same time? That would be quite dangerous and he would Die XD I like the guy but fighting so many strong dudes he knows nothing about would be extreme, but I do like the idea of the projection, did you perhaps have that when I made that Omake dream of Yamcha Fighting Ryu from Street Fight? Well Morgan while the idea is good when making a fight between two different franchise characters, it needs a lot of work and research (since I don't know about fate) but I will keep it in mind because I could perhaps use it in the future for something else, nice list of choices though
There he stood...looking at the one thing that he hated the most, it was quite the personal grudge, it wasn't the same one, but that didn't stop the fact that it was now its enemy just like the previous one on that one fateful day. Now much more powerful, but rather than start attacking, the Saibaking snarled a blood curdling screech that would shatter the glass of countless windows.
He had just activated his trump card *Imperial Wrath* which was a power-up that increased his damage output ny one hundred percent, now that it was basically a cornered animal it just wanted to finish what it started, no matter the cost.
Yamcha furrows his brow, seeing that his fight is far from over, taking the chance he decides to remove a few pieces of clothing such as his undershirt, boots, and armbands, diminishing the weight from all that stuff that was not only wet but under the effects of 70G to make the job easier, the only items he decided to leave on were his pants, gauntlets, and sword since they were reliable even if heavier now.
"So this is your full power huh? You don't look so tou-"
Before Yamcha could finish his words though, a clenched fist suddenly made contact with the guy's stomach, making him gasp for air as saliva came from his mouth from that heavy strike. Holding onto his stomach, Yamcha was trying to keep his composure but the power-up that his enemy had received was actually...quite problematic.
"GUAH!" Yamcha falls on his knees.
"Ehhakakaahaa" With pure sadistic joy, it laughed loudly.
"Shut up you ugly bastard!"
Yamcha gets right back up and begins to punch and kick as much as he can, but even though the weight of his body is less strained, that didn't seem to matter for the enemy though, he still had the advantage in power. The Saibaking hits him on the side with a kick and then begins an assault all over his body making the former bandit fall on the muddy floor.
"Gah!" He grunted, pain traveling across his body.
"You're slow and weak!"
The now red-skinned alien begins to berate his enemy, stepping on his chest with its feet, the sharp alien toenails digging into the former bandit flesh making as blood starts to show.
"I will end you and use your skull as a trophy!"
The Saibaking sadistically went to use both of his hands to go and strangle the martial artist, up close and personal. Yamcha begins to gasp for air, feeling weak and completely at the mercy of that being, he tries to remove him from his neck but it's just impossible, it feels like an iron vice.
The near-death situation of being beaten by a Saibemen while gravity crushes down on him, reminded Yamcha of two of his most annoying cocky moments in life, it was horrible. That thing was strong, he had no way to defend himself, was that it? No that can't be! So what if he is at a disadvantage? His friend Goku is always on that side when fighting someone stronger, but he just keeps going!
The human body doesn't become strong overnight just because you wish it to. And it can't suddenly improve your overall abilities on a whim, but there is one thing that can give a person the sudden boost in power necessary. Your state of mind, spirit, and will...
'No. I refuse...'
Feelings of intense resolve, survival, and determination to live...
'To Die!'
This near-death situation provided the necessary tools, the stress and danger end up making Yamchas's body release what was called an adrenaline rush! Providing his heart and lungs to work faster, as it sends more oxygen to the major muscles of the body causing a surge of energy and strength, sharpening his senses from the brink of fainting.
"Hahahaha! Give up the struggling human, there is no way you can win no-"
*POW!*
"Uahhh!"
The Saibaking suddenly backs away after feeling a sharp pain to his feet, receiving a blow that he didn't see coming, too bust bathing himself in the glory that he was about to win, which gave Yamcha the chance to stand up and get his bearings.
Yamcha breathes heavily, before talking in a rather raspy voice "No...you first"
What just happened was that Yamcha used *Earth Gauntlet* one of the earth-bending skills that he had been training with every day.
Firstly he covered his arms with rocks from the surrounding terrain which served to protect a limb and also as an attack, the next step was to use a ki control trick call *Ko* (Temper) one of the things he learned after attaining and refining his *Mūga no Ryōiki* (No Ego Zone) along with the Thinker Cap for better results of control, this nifty trick was all about concentrating most of the ki that protected his body from damage into one specific spot, that being his rock solid gauntlet-covered arm making sure that it doesn't end up dispersing itself.
The moment where he stopped the flow of ki in all the other parts of the body was one hell of a gamble, but by doing so he increased the output in his arm and refined, making one heck of a Powerful Rock Solid Ki Charged Punch that by the looks on how the Saibaking was holding his leg? It had left a heck of an impression, printed onto its flesh.
"Y-Y-You VERMIN PIECE OF SHIT!" The alien screamed.
"I...Will never lose to the likes of you, ever again" Yamcha said, closing his eyes before breathing in and out "I will defeat you" He felt the inhibitions on his brain and doubt disappear "Right here and Now"
Something amazing then happened, this was something he had been playing around with, trying to break his limits by experimenting with the techniques and whatnot that Melvin gave him. The first skill which was gained on a reward was the *Emperor Eye* that once activated allowed him to see everything in eyesight to great detail such as the breathing and muscle movement from his enemy, heartbeat, tension, and more with great foresight, you could say it was something that was engraved to him like good genetics.
The second, however, was the *Kime Sorame*, a natural ability that can be learned by training, a...lot. By being in a life-threatening situation and on the edge of consciousness, is where your survival instinct is pushed to the max. Pushing the development of Inner vision giving the sensation as if your own body gained the eyesight of a bird, it feels like a totally new 'zone' your perception and senses reach new heights allowing him to feel and see stuff around like it's in slow motion.
It's more of forcing your body to push more than what you are capable of, a predictive technique depending on concentration deductive ability, and physical capability to act on those predictions, all based on body, mind, and spirit.
These two skills were now being mixed, one was through hard work and the other was a special skill, but both were acquired to him by being worthy, it had allowed Yamcha to see everything around him not just in great detail and in slow motion, it felt almost as if the raindrops were stopped in its tracks and he could walk between them. His eyes felt dried and open wide as if he had forgotten how to blink, and pulsing veins were visible, a neutral expression adorned his face, it made him feel...
"Are you gonna attack now or what" Yamcha asked his enemy, moving his hand and making the gesture *Come on!* to him. The Saibaking was fuming with rage after that, he was so close to killing him, but he stood up and harmed him! Was that a fluke? Who knows, he was too angry to talk, chat time was over.
*Beep* Beep* Beep*
The beeping sound was once again echoing through the area, basically saying that the environment was gonna change once more. The whole place shifted in a way as if the surroundings had teleported in an obscene amount of speed before it ended, it felt like the blink of an eye.
Where were they standing right now? Sand, everywhere as far as the eye could see was all sand, warm and arid between the fingers as the heat of the sun came down like it wanted to cook you up for dinner, there wasn't anything else to hide or use against the other. All those changes in place, the fighting against nature and the enemy had made him tired. The enemy was strong and had regeneration, but he couldn't do it forever, the advantage now is that the gravity had changed to a more advantageous level, only 5G now.
But Yamcha didn't notice it, he had pushed his body so much and his focus was solely on the Saibaking and how to deal with it, nothing else mattered, all things were blocked out.
*SWOOSH*
Once again the fight re-starts with the two moving at such speeds that from the starting point a huge amount of sand was kicked over before two fists collided with each other, provoking another shockwave, before a storm of punches and kicks soon ensued as their figures disappear and appear again around the dessert. The Saibaking had more speed and strength thanks to its power-up that by all means would be able to take Yamcha on, but the former bandit new ability, for the time being, had accelerated the processing speed of visual information, allowing his brain to give in orders faster while maintaining a calm mind, while his opponent, on the other hand, was angry and frustrated, making it sloppily in the fight.
The user of the Wolf Fang Fist was like a feather that danced around the wind, dodging from any attack that would reach him, sometimes he had to take the blows but once again, thanks to his reaction speed he would focus most of his ki right onto the area that the alien was about to hit so as to diminish damage, before changing back up. Was it hard? Yes. Did it need concentration? Yep. Was it dangerous and reckless? Heck yeah boy. But that's how a martial artist lives.
*BAM* *POW*
The man could try and make this into a battle of attrition, see who would last longer, that power up could not last forever, but neither would his eyes. It was time to put the plan into action! Making the next move to count, Yamcha used *Tajū Zanzōken (AfterImage Strike)* which involved him moving in quick bursts of speed that created enough false images of himself, circling around the Saibaking. The after-image technique was a classic and this variation was well known to leave the enemy open to attack, confusing them, especially if they were either dump or, weren't really that well versed in the art of Ki sensing.
*Boom* *Boom*
Frankly, the Saibaking was getting tired of this, when you use your best and yet for some reason you can't finish things as fast as first hoped for, it just builds up for more slips up, he just went firing ki blasts all over the place, left and right but what he didn't know was that none of those were real.
The real Yamcha took this chance to go forward and kicked some sand right onto his eyes, prompting him to rub them frantically Sure it was technically an underhanded tactic but who cares? It was still fair game if you want to live! Taking that chance the former bandit went to grab him by the arm and slammed him down onto the sand hard before charging a quick Kamehameha to burst forward towards him making one heck of a sandstorm thanks to that.
"Ah, shit...I blinked"
That was all he said, some sand did get in his eyes, it was just so dried, blinking felt really good right about now, he wished to deactivate that combination of eye skills but he could only do that to one right about now.
*POOWW*
"I knew this was not gonna kill you, but I bet the damage to your pride such as your body was quite substantial" He said with a nice grin on his face.
What was the Saibaking response? It starts to curl his body together as he begins to charge a weirdly enough golden energy, at first covering around his alien body, then brings his arms and legs apart, the place shook violently from the energy.
"GIYAHA! KIKIIKIKIKI AHHA!"
It was so angry that it forgot how to speak even though he was supposed to be more evolved, but Yamcha could probably guess he was saying he was going to die with the attack he was making.
"Oh, you want to attack me with your strongest move? Fine by me, I really wanted to try this out, and you look like the perfect guinea pig"
Yamcha smirks with glee before removing his Niuweidao from its sheath, letting it shine onto the sun before he starts the procedure. Powering up to his maximum the former bandit uses the principle of *Shū (Enfold)* allowing him to enshroud his sword with his inner ki in a much more refined fashion than what he tried at first, it made him feel as if his weapon was an extension of his own body, a sword that was already so strong and sharp, only served to strengthen it even further. But that was just the sword itself plus his ki being channeled through it, there was still something left.
Magic...
Yamcha learned how to activate the magic within the blade, it wasn't too hard since every day he kept using the thinker hat, respecting the time, getting more and more interested to see the full potential of what he had. The first buff was *Cutting edge* which started by gathering air to the blade giving extra cutting power, then there was *Storm of Battle* which increased all sword damage by fifty percent as it glows lightly, and then yellow lightning starts to shroud it but it wasn't Hamon, it was *Lightning blade* reinforcing the weapon with Lightning for approximately sixty seconds...
This was by all accounts...a combination of power that he was combining into his weapon and trying one hell of an attack. While at first, it seemed to be strong, it wasn't easy to maintain, it was more like one of those finishing moves that only works if the enemy stays still for a while charging. A sword that was two hundred times stronger than steel and sharp as an obsidian scalpel, shrouded by his well-trained ki, and reinforced with magic, two different energies merging into something truly powerful.
The alien then opens up his body from the curl-up position letting out a reddish energy wave from his entire body and Yamcha bursts forth with his own attack that combined with the energy that flowed through his body took a slightly more orange-like color to it.
"I don't have a name for this move yet sorry"
The last enchantment however was only activated when Yamcha, onto his swordsman position, finally went to do one of his most powerful attacks using Fourfold slash of light, which allowed him to slash four times with one swing of the sword.
Yamcha attack seemed to have taken the form of an energy attack shaped like a half-moon, but rather than being just one it was four, one behind the other as if they were in a line, but stuck together as if to increase its size, lightning cracking like a force of nature. That large and newly made special move collided with the blood-red beam of energy making for a spectacular explosion that followed after! Dust and debris flew all around but were soon swept aside due to the rushing wind that came from the colliding energies.
Yamcha who was holding his weapon after the powerful swing that he did with all his might and spirit, was using it as if it was a wand that controlled what he had just made, the man could see that the attacks were pushing against one another. But the gravity and the total amount of damage he took from his opponent earlier, were taking their toll on him. He gritted his teeth, trying to maintain the hold on his attack.
Up above, the Saibaking was cackling as he saw that his foe was looking fatigued. He screeched out in his native Saiba tongue and pushed more of his energy into his own attack, sending a pulse that flowed through the reddish beam. It hit the ball of energy, which let out a rush of wind and pushed more downward towards Yamcha!
The Desert Bandit thought 'Ugh! This is really tough! If I stop my attack, the beam will strike me & I'll be done for! And if I continue on, it'll overpower me! I need to get him to lose focus and concentration, even if it is for a second! But how?!'
Yamcha then starts remembering his friend Goku and how he faced every single one of his battles, sure he was a Saiyan and he had a much easier time getting stronger, but that didn't mean that even someone like him didn't have a hard time. He would never give up even when his enemy was several times stronger than him, he would instead have an awesome fight, enjoy it, break through his limits even if his body was broken! Then why can he do the same? He came all this way, is pain and exhaustion going to be the end of him?
"GRRRNNG! NO. MORE. EXCUSES!"
Yamcha decided that rather than trying to push his enemy attack forward with raw power with a move he had just tried out as if he was a Saiyan, it was better to instead do what a human does best...being crafty. His body started to be covered with pulsing veins as if he was about to blow up, doing a completely different tactic, moving his sword upwards the scar-faced bandit was instead bending his attack which would, in turn, push the other attack he had been collided to as if it was a lever.
"Ngghrr!?"
The sudden change in direction had surprised the Saibaking who was focused only on pushing it forward, now it was being pushed upwards, which provoked some instability onto the energy integrity which was the mix now of two different kinds and some spice of magic onto it which resulted in...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A draw. The explosion was out of this world as it could be seen from space, it pushed the sadness everywhere of that desert as if a nuclear bomb had just gone off, sparks of energy fell down like fireworks making it hard to see what was happening, honestly? One more blow like that and this dessert would turn into a glass floor.
"Grrr...Fucking piece off"
The Saibaking now back to his senses started looking around to see where the human had gone. The explosion had done a lot of damage but that dessert didn't have any place to hide, it was all sand but he could see him, it was almost as if he disappeared from thin air.
*Fsssssshh*
That sound was the sign that it was over, his skin turning back to green showing that the power-up had run its course, landing down onto the sand he looked around hearing nothing but silence and the sun on its head.
"What a stupid insect giving so much trouble, all that struggle to end as sand being its burial place"
"It's actually pretty cozy"
A muffled voice was heard which made the Saibaking stop on his tracks before something came right behind him smoothly off the sand. After the attacks had exploded, Yamcha decided that it was the perfect chance to be sneaky, so he used *Earth Tunneling* which was a skill meant to move through the earth, in this case, sand, to out-maneuver a foe by opening tunnels or by pulling the earth past them, imagine something like swimming through the ground.
"HAHH!"
With a ferocious swing from his blade, Yamcha went straight for his head, maybe it was due to the luck he had in escaping death twice so far, but one of the enchantments on his sword *Critical Hit* who had a twenty percent chance of triggering did activate. That allowed him to deal three times the damage of a normal attack, as the poor bastard that was the alien could only keep its look of surprise as its head was separated from its body with a clean-cut, before falling into the sand. Blood spurting from its body before it started walking around like a headless chicken.
"Kuh...C-Coward" It was still able to talk.
Yamcha looked at his opponent and exclaimed "Hey, your Majesty... TIME TO SAY GOODBYE!"
Charging a powerful energy attack from his free hand, the former bandit made sure to blast off that ugly mug to hell making another sandstorm kick in the air.
"I DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT YOU!"
Turning around to where it was the body, Yamcha didn't want the chance of a new head being able to grow back into that body, he learns his lesson from Cell being able to do something like that even though he wasn't one hundred percent Namekian, he went forward slashing all over the place as if he was some slasher serial killer from a horror movie.
"Ratatatatatatata!"
Then finishing by throwing several energy blasts to the remaining chunks of meat after making a mess...Yamcha was panting, very much exhausted and racked with pain. However, a grin was on his face as it was now over.
"Huff...Huff...I...did it...I...won...oh fuck I'm fain-" He soon fell down, to both knees before planting himself face-down to the ground.

*Sometime Later*
"Uuugh"
Yamcha starts to move around before his eyes start to slowly open up as he finally wakes up back at his bed, the clothes from his body were back and the wounds healed, the tiredness was no longer there but he still had a little headache.
"What happened, last I remember I was..."
"CONGRATULATIONS!" Melvin said coming out under said bed.
"FUCK!" Yamcha is surprised and hits his head on the wall behind "Ouch! Geez, knock it off"
"Yamcha-Sama you finally awake" Puar said, seeing his friend and quickly going to hug him, Takibi wasn't there now because he was sleeping with head muffs on his head, courtesy of Melvin.
"Oh! Sorry to worry you little buddy but I'm ok now, but wait does that mean I won?" He asks.
"You sure did buddy, it was a great show that's for sure, made our blood pump but Puar kept whining a lot"
"S-Shu up! I was worried" Puar pouted.
"Man that fight was difficult, but right now I feel awesome as if something else happened that I can't tell"
"Oh, that's because while you were sleeping I healed you up and then stabbed you with a syringe containing unknown elements to your anatomy" Melvin said flatly and bluntly.
"Ah is that all? Well in that c-WAIT WHAT?!" Yamcha spoke, surprised at that.
"He is lying, all he did was his mysterious magic space-sci-fi thingy or whatever and then showered you in a weird colored light" Puar said, a neutral face onto its face.
"Way to crap over my prank cat! But yeah it's true"
With a snap of fingers, Melbin summons a pair of glasses that basically says 'I'm smart and you're not' before summoning a piece of paper.
"I have written here the stuff that I have given you while you yourself was unconscious"
Melvin takes a deep breath ready to speak up before he throws the glasses away and burns the paper.
"You know what? Reading in the paper is for nerds" He then summons a Flatscreen Tv to the wall that starts rolling the words "Much better"
Yamcha and Puar look at the television totally confused before Melvin himself shows up on the screen
"Hello there Yamcha, this is a recorded video so try not to make too many questions ok? Here is the thing, we all know that the reason some humans are so strong is not just due to their training, that's just a part of it, but some are also really good at controlling their ki to do superhuman feats. But what happens when you drop those defenses either because of being a cocky idiot or an arrogant fuck? Bad shit happens"
Melvin then changes to a slide where he is wearing a scientist lab coat.
"Now, here is when things get nerdy. Through a synthetic and complex protein combination that is given to your body, it's going to give you a few perks, enhancing the metabolic processes, and augmenting the effects of various important endorphins and hormones of the body to further amplify physical performances and what more? Boosting the natural healing factor in addition to greater resistance to toxins"
The cartoon of two thumbs up is presented.
"But don't worry about too many changes in your physiology because of it because this happens to an optimized cell density augmentation order, in which the changes are noticeable yet small"
"Wait since when could you be this techn-" Yamcha was cut.
"Oh but wait there's more, for those who don't want this to end right now like some anime cliffhanger and for those who enjoy when things are explained in detail" Melvin winks.
Then a bunch of other Melvins show up taking the space in the Tv environment wearing different t-shirts, there was even one with a Hawaiian one for some reason.
"First of all your skeleton. Did you know that the Osteoblast is a specialized mesenchymal cell that synthesizes bone matrix and coordinates the mineralization of the skeleton? Bones are made from two materials! Collagen, the protein that provides a soft framework, and Calcium, a mineral that adds strength and hardness. All that plus bone tissue formation is now effectively strengthened! Your bone structure is now naturally fifteen stronger than normal without ki, which makes them as strong as Steel" Melvin with the Tuxedo said.
The Melvin with the haiwan shirt begins "Everyone enjoys going to the gym right? Well let's talk about that, your muscles' molecules have been targeted, increasing the density of the connective tissues and fibers, making connecting tendons stronger, for those who want a closer look scientifically, you can see that the fibers are interwoven with structures resembling carbon nanotubes. Talk about having muscles like steel cables. Am I right? Perfect for the ladies"
"Eh?" Puar starts rubbing his head.
The Melvin who seems to be shirtless, says "Ok we talked about bones and muscles but let's talk about real improvement like your metabolism. The process of hemoglobin in which allows for a much more efficient way to carry out oxygen around the body is now increased such as the heart capacity to pump blood, as said composition is now modified to allow for faster clotting, the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. And oh! Would you look at that? Your lungs are now able to process most airborne toxins before it becomes lethal such as being able to breathe methane for a whole hour, cool right? And to end it, the Intestinal bacteria suffered an alteration, enabling the digestive system to absorb more nutrients from the food than normal, ohohoho healthy healthy"
The presentation then ends up abruptly letting the original Melvin talk to the duo. Yamcha was with his jaw open along with his cat friend, surprised by all that and not understanding the science behind it but yea.
"Also the last boost was that you suffered a permanent increase in your power level by ten times over. That will be all"
"...Holy shit" Yamcha said.
"Don't worry... it's all-natural" Melvin winks.
A\N: I have seen examples of Manga related to Martial arts, where stuff wasn't as crazy as DBZ training (where your basically moon buster if your stronger then Roshi) that helps to gain muscle mass to the best degree, speed, and reflexes that would impress even a cheetah, great determination and training can make you quite strong but there is a limit to this, Dragon Ball and Its Z version showed me that Ki control can make you strong to the point your bulletproof before you reach 200 in power level, but if you relax and put your guard down then even someone powerful *cough* Goku *cough* can get easily wounded by a stray shot. You may think that the reward is a bit much but you gotta understand, in a world where the villains get so overly powerful and our Saiyans get multiple transformations by anger or plot, something like this will be more than necessary, some natural improvements to the body plus tough skin are more than fair when comparing Super Saiyan 2 right?
This so far is the last reward that will be given to Yamcha as I don't have any more ideas for better, bigger challenges or stuff to give and I think you guys are ok with that right? (I mean some of these were nice ideas from you) We have given plenty to the guy, but this is not the end for Melvin, we see more of the guy down the line. But now? How about we give our furry friends some love? ;) (By that I mean Puar and Takibi)
*Yamcha*
After the Cell Saga, before the Real Training Began: 65,000
After one year in the Time Chamber with Qigong, meditation, and Yoga: 67,000
After his own Training routine when not in challenges, plus using the rewards to his advantage: 69,000
Current Power Level after the Power-up: 690,000
*Saibaking*
At the start of the fight: 69,000
After Imperial Wrath Power up: 138,000
A\N: The power up for the Saibaking was great, with doubling his power and even though Yamcha was outclass his reflexes and crafty moves saved his hide. The wolf guy did a very strong move with both magic and ki at the end you cant just outmatch that much difference of power level with more power, thats why he played dead when the power up was all drained and then it was time to attack. The saibaking didnt see it coming because we dont know if Saibamen can sense energy or how smart they are when in a situation in which one was sure of winning. I use percentage such as 69,000 + 100% to get at the saibaking power level result, if thats wrong tell me.
