Chapter 31:Burter vs Piccolo
Piccolo was sure his plan would work, thought his timing was brilliant. Yet the Namek still somehow managed to miss the Sayian who looked exactly like Goku with his special beam cannon and now was faced with a huge ball of energy flying towards his and Gohan's postion.
"Dam it" Piccolo growled "Gohan into the water now"
The boy complied immediatly jumping into the Namekian's crystal clear green waters followed closely by his friend and Mentor Piccolo who grabbed the the Demi-Sayian by the scruff of the neck and swam as deep down into the depths of the sea as quickly as he could.
Boom! Turles blast smashed into the small island the two Z-Fighters had been on moments before vapourising the island in an instant and sending a shock wave flying down into the ocean floor.
Gohan institivly tried to raise his power level to defleat the shock wave however Piccolo grabbed hold of the boy's head and flung him further down towards the oceans depths all the while sending a telepathic message.
"Keep your strength surpressed Gohan overwise they will sense your power on their scouters, Remenber surprise is our best asset at the moment they are not aware that their is more of one of us here we must use that to our advtage.."
The Namek was thrown back down towards his student but manage to steady himself as the shock wave subsided.
"What do we do Mr Piccolo" Gohan telepathicly asked his master.
Piccolo looked at his student even under water the Namek radiated power and athourity and had even managed tocross his arms over his chest in his signiture pose.
"Here's the plan ..."
Above the surface of the water Turles and his men Jeice and Burter gathered scanning the ocean with their scouters for any forums of life.
"My scouters not picking up anything Master. Whoever attacked you must have perised in your attack" Burter said while he tapped away at the button on his scouter in a desperate attempt to pick up a life sigiture.
"Fool!" Turles snapped angrily turning his attention to his blue subordinate. "We already know whoever we are facing can surpress their power level and they were smart enough to try and catch us by surprise, No! whoever attacked us is down their waitting for us to drop our guard so they can take us by surpirse again"
"Well" Jeice began forming a red ball of energy in his right hand. "If thats the case let's blast them out they can't hold their breath forever especially if they have to keep dodging our blasts."
"Finially!" Turles chuckled forming two balls of energy's in his hands. "A plan that i can agree with"
The three mercenary's fired a barrage of energy balls down towards the ocean surfaces. Water imploded outwards into the air as giant waves began to ripple though out the sea's surface due to the shock waves the ball explosions caused.
Whoosh! Piccolo the red aura of his Kao-Ken tecnique exploded out of the oceans water sending droplets trickling down his body as he did so. The Namek's hands were out stretched and in only the way the Namekian's body would allow they extended outwards grabbing the unsuspecting Burter And Jeice by the throat before tossing the backwards though the air.
The Namek flew upwards and faced Turles the former of which was smiling broudly.
"Well that was quite an entrence" Turles chuckled as Jeice and Burter quickly returned to his side. "Pity it's not effective"
"Let me take care of this Master" Burter said confidently flouting forward and cracking his knuckles. The blue man was desperate to earn Turles respect no matter what.
Turles looked from Piccolo to his sib-ordinat and then back to the Namek again a smirk was soon upon the Sayian's face.
"Sure, Why not? this should prove to be entertainning as we wait for the the Tree to bear it's fruit" Turles said with a cackle.
"Fine with me" Piccolo replied entering the convosation as he clicked his neck. The Namek was currently holding a kao-ken times three and was desperate to fight as soon as possible to maximise the use of his power. Also fighting an oppoment one on one was much moe perferable than a three on one battle especially when his oppoments were all stronger than him.
"Come on blue man"
Irritated Burter charged forward his fist clenched as he throw a right handed punch towards the Namek's chest. Raising his guard Piccolo blocked the punch with a two handed open arm block however the Namek was still pushed back several inches. Anticipating the next attack Piccolo raised his knee to block the blue skinneed aliens left kick however the Namek was still pushed backwards.
"Hiyaaaa" Burter yelled as he chopped at Piccolo's nick this time the hit connected sending the Namek flying back throw the air. The self-proclaimed fastest in the universe followed after his foe ready to press his advantage.
Crack! Burters fist connected against Piccolo's stomach smashing the Namek though the oceans surface and down back into it's depths as purple blood ouzed out of his mouth. The Blud man followed after a purple aura engulfing him in it's glow while also pushing the water outwards and away from his body. It was about fifty feet and exactly one second later when Burter caught up to the Namek's flight path kicked upwards and sent Piccolo back up flying into the air.
"Dam" Piccolo growled as he tried desperatly to correct himself in mid-air. The Namek had known he had been out classed but this was ridiculious not only was Burter beating him but the Green skinned Namek could sense that his blue oppoment hadn't even used over thirty percent of his power in the battle so far. "To hell with it Kao -Ken time's four!"
The sudden booast in his speed and power was enough to allow Piccolo to dodge Burters oncoming assult. Now behind the latter Piccolo though his arms forward while yelling.
"Masenko-Ha!"
The Yellow beam of energy smashed into Burters back however it only managed to cause a small scratch to appear and knock the alien forward abit.
Burter turned a sardistic smile was upon his face. The blue alien was constantly beaten up and tourtured by Turles for his "Weakness" So when ever he got the chance against an oppoment much weakier than himself the blue man loved to deal his own torture.
Flashing out of view Burter reappeared in front of Piccolo and sent sharp fast jabs into the Namek's chest doubleing the latter over and causeing him to spit up a throat full of blood. Disappearing again the Burter reappeared behind Piccolo back. Instantly he grabbed the Namek's hands and pulled them backwards as he simualtaniously brought his knee forward crashing it into the green giants back.
"Arhhh" Piccolo cried out in pain as the impact vibrated though out his body.
"I call that the back breaker and this the nut cracker!" Burter cried a smile etched across his face as he sent a kick flying upwards between Piccolo's legs.
After that viriousious attack the Blue skinned humoinid pulled hard on Piccolo's arms his smile growing with every moment the Namek screamed out in back and agony.
"I'm going to rip your arms off and smash you with them" Burter cackled as he tugged harder even going as far as to plant both feet into the Namek's back as he pushed and pulled at the same time.
Crack! Rip! The sickening sound echoed around the area as skinned teared and bones cracked apart before suddenly Piccolo's arms were removed from their sockets. The Namek screamed and shook visible in the air before fading into nothing.
"What!?" Burter cried in shock as confusion as the arms he was holding moments before also faded out of sight.
Just then the real Piccolo appeared his clone created by his muilti-form tecnique having done it's job as a distraction the Namek was able to sneak up on his unsuspecting oppoment and grab him from behind in a similar lock hold that Goku had held his brother Raditz in over a year ago.
"You think your so tough picking on weak oppoement" Piccolo whispered into Burter's ear as the blue man struggled against the Namek's grip. "Now let's see how you fair against my full power!"
Piccolo tugged back wards before smashing his knee's forwards against Burter's back sending the blue man forward. The force of the movement was enough to dislocate Burters right shoulder.
"How?" Jeice stuttered i awe of Piccolo's sudden increass in power. "One moment the Namek's less than half of Burters power and he's not a threat before the next he's nearly around eighty percent of his power and he's actually causing damage"
Turles didn't reply his attention was now fully on the battle which had gone from a little bit of ammusment to something more interesting. No matter how much the Sayian tortured and be littled Burter he was still well aware of the man's great strength and his powers in combat which had proven useful over the years. However his oppoment a member of the planet they were on peaceful race had some how manage to turn a battle that was meant to be completly one sided completly on it's head just by the use of trickery and mainpulation.
Power was something anyone could gain via hard work or other more unconventional methords. Cunning however was something only a few had and to have someone who could deliver the "Goods" using his cunning would be an invaluble member of any team...
"Dam you" Burter cried throwing his left arm forward as he releashed a ball of pure energy down towards Piccolo.
The Namek simply dodged out of the way before flying up into the air in order to engage the Blue man in close combat. It wasn't a tatic Piccolo would normally use when dealing with a more powerful and faster oppoment fighting up close. However the Namek had noticed that though Burter was indeed faster and stronger he was not even close to Piccolo in his actual fighting tecnique something the Namek wanted to take advatage of.
Blocking a left handed punch with his right wrist Piccolo lashed out with a clawed hand and cut the right side of Burters face drawing blood and causing the blue skinned aliens right eye to close.
"Barstared" Burter roared thoughing a right handed fist forward to smash against Piccolo's stomach. However due the the fact the apendage had been dislocated at the shoulder joint the right fist was thoughn slowly and was easlily stoped by the Namek who latched on to the arm and dug his claw like nail's deep into the skin again drawing out more purple blood.
A smirk etched across his face Picoolo releashed his hold of Burters arm in order to slam both of his fists into the blue man's already damaged shoulder. Crack! the sickening cracking sound which came from Burters shoulder was accompantied by the aliens scream of pain.
"Burter!" Jeice cried charging forward however the red skinned man was stopped by Turles strong grip on his shoulder.
"No! This is his battle. If he can't win he dose not deserve to live" Turles said sternly his eyes fixed on the battle before him an excited smile upon his face.
"But.." Jeice replied trying to argue back however he was cut off as Turles slapped him with the back of his right hand.
"No buts! Turles growled "Remenber i make the commands here and what i say gose"
"Barstard" Jeice screamed inwardly but he controled himself enough in order to not go charging into battle. When his Sayian boss was in this mood disobaying him would only mean one thing death!. "Come on Burter you can do this!"
Swinging his left fist forward in attempt to force Piccolo backwards in response to the sever damage substanied to his right shoulder. Burter bite down hard on his lip drawing blood desperatly trying to fight though the pain. However his Namek oppoment kept coming ducking under the oncoming fist Piccolo quickly flew upwards and uppercutted the blue skinned alien's shoulder causing the latter to scream out in pain again.
"You maybe stronger but your no fighter" Piccolo mocked before firing a blast into Burters chest from point blank range.
Boom! Smoke bellowed out from were the blast exploded. With a quick flex of his aura Piccolo dispersed the smoke to reveal a heavily injuired and almost armourless Burter breathing heavily hovering in the air some thirty yards away.
"You their mock me!" Burter roared clenceing his left fist angrily as his right fist lay limp at his side completly useless. "I'll show you why they call me the fastest in the universe!"
"They don't" Turles added in boredly obviously irritated by this constant boast however he was ingnored as Burter screamed.
"Blue lightning flash!"
Burter fazed out of sight instantly reappearing behind Piccolo the Namek turned around to chop out at his oppoment however it was useless as Burter appeared back behind the Namek and slightly above him. Crack! The kick to the back of his head sent the Namek flying forwards.
Before Piccolo was able to regain his control of his own fight Burter was on him again rapidly punching down on the Namek's body however even at his breath takening speed it was obvious that the blue alien was only using his left arm and he was also not causing any damage.
"Well done Burter you show that slug what for" Jeice cried pumping his fist into the air however next to him the Crusher Corp's leader was not impressed.
"Tshk, he's using his races pesky tecnique again a great tatical error on his part. Fueling all your strength into your speed may make you quick and win you races but it won't win you the fight. He's not even causing any damage."
It was true though Piccolo was indeed overwhelmed by Burter's great speed and furosity the attacks that were landing weren't causeing him too much damage which ment the Namek wasn't out of the fight yet.
"Kao-Ken times five" Piccolo roared as his body felt like it was almost about to be ripped apart. The Namek really was pushing the limit of the tecnique now and he knew he couldn't hold it out for long.
The boast in speed was enough to allow Piccolo to finally detect Burters movement and due to his great Namek hearing he was able to here Turles mention the weakness of the blue lighning flash tecnique.
Grabbing hold of Burter's left arm in his right hand Piccolo attempted to crush the leigment while he smashe his left fist against the Blue aliens right shulder repeatedly.
Burter screamed but he was completly defenceless as Piccolo moved to his stomach his fist pounding on ribs and snapping them after several strikes.
Jeice scouter was buzzing as it indicated that by some magic or mysterious force the Namek his friend was fighting's power had increassed and surpassed his friends own power and that Burter's power was decressing rapidly. If he didn't interfer now Burter would surely be killed.
"Screw what you say" Jeice screamed at Turles as he flew forward in aid of his defenless friend.
The red alien was half way towards Piccolo when he heard a loud yell underneath him before two small fists smashed into his stomach and sent him flying upwards.
Gohan who had been watching the battle from the sidelines as Piccolo had instructed him too had swung into action as soon as he saw the red man heading towards his teacher. The Demi-Sayian thought he was saving his friend from a sneak attack as he smashed right hooks and left jabs into Jecies body.
However Piccolo had been perfectly aware of Jeices incoming attack in fact the Namek had planned to toss his friend Burter towarrds him before finishing him off with a Masenko attack. It would have been the perfect way to distract the red skinned man so the Namek could attack and hopfully gain enough advatage to over come the power gap.
But now however Gohan had stepped in to the fray and now the last big surprise was reveled.
"Dam it Gohan" Piccolo mentally roared "Why is it the one time i don't want you to fight you do it!"
However quicly gaining control of his mind Piccolo turned his attention back to Burter however Turles zipped into view in front of him a smirk was upon the Sayian's face.
"Hiding your little friend were you how unfair" Turles chuckled before sending a right handed fist into Piccolo's jaw sending the Namek flying down towards the Earth followed closly by Burters body which Turles didn't bother to catch.
Piccolo's red aura dispersed as his body smashed into the hard cold Earth. The Namek was breathing heaveily as he slowly got to his feet. Gohan quickly appeared by his teachers side holding onto his teachers waist in attempt to support him. However Piccolo shruged the boy off not wanting to show any weaknesses.
Turles flouted down oppersite the two Z fighters in the middle of the three was Burter who lay limp on the ground between the groups.
Jeice flew down next to his Sayian commander a smile was on the red man's face and apart from the bruish over his left eye he appeared reletivly unharmed from his combat with Gohan.
"You saved him i can't belived you saved Burter Master" Jeice cried out he was so happy he even used Turles own self proclaimed title.
"No i didn't" Turles replied coldly raising his arm lazily. "I just wanted the pleasure of ending his miserable existence myself"
And with a simple flick of his wrist the Sayian sent an orb of destructive energy at his former subordinates body evaporating it in an instant.
Jeice mouth hung open in utter shock so shocked that he couldn't even react when Turles spung round and raised his hand up to the red man's face.
"I told you if you interfered i would kill you" The Sayian said emotionlessly before firing.
