Rebirth of Carnage: Volume 2
Three months after the first three androids in the new wave from Dr. Gero's secondary lab, the presence of evil could be felt again...Tien shudders, looking at the three shady figures before him, sensing their tremendous power. He could only see their wavy outlines from behind the waterfall, but theri ki was enough to proverbally penetrate his soul, making his very being tremble in fear. "They apparently can't sense me....so I have that advantage..." He looks again at the three figures "...but my power level pales in comparison to theirs..." He clenches his fist and takes a step towards the waterfall. "But I have to try... there's nothing to be gained by staying here..." He steps a little bit closer, and two of the three figures fly off. He stops dead in his tracks. 'Did they see me...?' After a few heart pounding moments, he comes to the conclusion that they still didn't notice him. He breathes a breath of relief, and then looks out from the waterfall. The first thing he notices is the pitch black dredlocks, waving in the wind. The bright yellow gi, the muscle tone of the arms. Looking upon this unkown man on the whole, he didn't seem too intimidating, but Tien felt the immense power radiating off of him. But the ki he was feeling felt strange to him...but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. The man turns his head to the side, and Tien pulls his head back into the waterfall quickly. 'Kuso...he saw me...' An orange light begins to glow through the water. Tien, sensing the iminent attack, dashes out from behind the falls just as the beam is fired.
The explosion rocks the valley as rocks, dirt, water, vegetation and flames are blasted skywards in all directions. The smoke billows into the air, clouding all vision for those in the imediate area, and can be seen for miles for those who are not. The explosion subsides and the smoke thins out, revealing a huge gaping hole in the cliffside. The water, never to be stopped unless dammed, follows it's new course and cascades down through the crater. Tien looks back to see the man, but he's no longer there. "Nani?!" Tien looks around frantically, then turns around, all but too late, and gets the fist of the mystery man slammed into his face. As Tien falls to the ground, unconcious, the man tosses a jewled dagger next to his head, which sticks into the ground vertically, then blade of it digging into the ground. The man snickers, "Keep the dagger...courtesy of Cerax." He snickers again and flys off.
Mirai no Trunks lands next to what used to be the path of the waterfall over the small cliff. "Tien-san?" Trunks looks arouns and see's Tien bleeding from the mouth, lying on the ground. "Tien-san!" He rushes over to him and kneels down by his side, lifting his head, shaking him lightly. "Tien-san...what happened?" Tien's eyes open slowly. "We....have to...warn...the others..." Trunks lifts him up and helps him to stand, and something catches his eye. "Huh?" He stops down to pick it up, Tien's arm over his shoulder, finding the jeweled dagger. He pulls it out of the ground and stands back upright. He turns it over, examining it, and narrows his eyes at what finds. "So...they're back...." He hangs teh dagger from his sash and floats up slowly with Tien. Trunks thinks to himself, 'Don't worry Tien...I'll get you help, and tell the others...' He looks down at teh dagger again, nearly sick with hatred, pain, and grief. He flys slowly with Tien to find Son Gokuo and the others. As he flys the sun shines over the dagger....and over the small 'RR' mark of the Red Ribbon Army.....
Arriving at Son Gokuo's house about a half an hour later, Trunks lays Tien down on the ground carefully. "Son Gokuo-san!" Gokuo opens the door, looking a bit tired, the looks imediately leaves his face as he see's Tien on the ground. "What happened?" Trunks tosses the dagger to Gokuo, who catches the hilt of it. "Turn it over..." Gokuo nods and turns it over in his hands, finding the 'RR' centered on the opposite side of the hilt. He narrows his eyes. "So...there are more of them...did you see them?" Trunks shakes his head. "No, they attacked Tien while I wasn't around. I found him lying on the ground, bleeding. If we get him to help, he might be able to tell us something..." Gokuo nods ands walks over to Tien, lifting him up and taking him inside.
Gohan and Videl stand up when they see Tien. "What happened?" Gokuo shakes his head. " I don't know...we have to get him fixed up..." Gohan reaches into his pocket and tosses Gokuo a senzu bean. Not askin why he has it, he pops it into Tien's mouth and forces him to chew & swallow it. They set him down in a chair and wait for the senzu to take effect. In a few moments, Tien opens his eyes and hodls his head. He looks around, seeing all of them standing around him. "Arigatou...but we have no time. There are three people with extrememly high power levels. Two of them flew off before I could see them. The one who attacked me was tremendously strong though..." Gokuo pauses for a moment, looking at Tien "You...coud sense their power?" Tien nods, and Trunks looks at Gokuo. "But...that's not possible..." Gokuo nods "I know...something weird is going on..." Tien, looking confused, looks at them quizzically. "What's going on? What isn't it possible?" Gokuo shows him the dagger, which glitters as the many faceted jewels catch the light. Tien stares at the marking, looking more confused than previously. "An android?.....he couldn't have been...." Tien takes the dagger in his hand and turns it around, just as a shining pillar of light makes contact with the ground outside.
All eyes are on the door, and nobody says anything for a while. Gokuo stands up to his full height, his shoulders drawn back, and clenches his fist. Tien drops the dagger. "That ki...it's him..." Gokuo loks at the rest of them. " Come on...it's time to meet this mysterious android face to face..." He takes a few steps towards the door, hesitates as if being held back, then walks outside. Gohan, Videl, Trunks and Tien follow him, standing in a line, with Gokuo a few yards in front of them. Cerax stands with his back to them, arms folded, dredlocks blowing to the side in the wind. "Son Gokuo, you seem upset..." He smirks, unoticable to the Z Senshi, snf Gokuo narrows his eyes. "Kisama....what are you?" Cerax turns around, the smirk remaining on his face "Care to find out?" Gokuo shifts his weight, and slides into his fighting stance. Cerax, still smirking with an arrogant superiority, motions for him to bring it. Gokuo disappears, moving too fast to see, and swings his fist towards Cerax's face. Cerax, as if Gokuo is moving in slow motion and is merely a swinging punching bag, steps to the side and slams his knee into Gokuo's gut. Gokuo falls to one knee, clutching his abdomen, bleeding from the mouth. "Is this the mighty Son Gokuo? I'm surprized." Cerax spins and drops to the ground, kicking upwards and connects with Gokuo's ching. Gokuo's mouth snaps shut and he falls onto his back. The rest of them stare in disbeleif over what has just occured. Cerax dusts his hands off, spinning back up to his feet with a dramatic flourish. He points at Son Gohan with a sadistic grin. "Be on your feet, son of Son Gokuo, for you are next in line...." Gohan narrows his eyes and dashes towards Cerax, all judgement clouded by rage. Cerax smirks and flys off before Gohan gets even halfway to him. Gohan stops next to his father, who's lying on the floor in agony. Gohan trembles, his fists clenched so tightly that blood trickles down his knuckles. He throws his head back, falling to his knee's "GERO!!" A vague ghostly snicker seemingly floats through the air with the wind.
Cerax floats over the rebuit city with a look of sadistic glee. He raises his hand over his head, a glowing orb of ki enveloping his fist. A large man, wearing dark blue pants with a streak of black lightning down the leg, suddenly appears infront of him, his short blue hair tussling in the wind. Cerax puts his hand down with a smirk. "Ceringo.." Ceringo shakes his head as if to hold all questions. "Leave the city...our target is the Z Senshi....specifically the Son family. They have been made of our presence here, and as such will come. After our goals are completed...we'll see what transpires." Cerax scowls "Out of the way, brother, it's in my programming..." Ceringo snickers "Then perhaps something can be arranged, however we will wait until Ceta arrives." Cerax nods, obviously not too happy with this, but accepting it none-the-less. "What'll we do until then?" Ceringo cracks his knuckles, which let out a metallic *clangs* and smirks. " let us prove which of us is the superior creation..." Cerac smirks as well, and the two androids dash at each otehr in the sky above the city. As they collide and begin trading blows, a soic boom shakes the surrounding area. Cerax's and Ceringo's fists become blurs as they attempt to connect with the other. Due to their near identical programming, however, their fists collide at every blow, causing ripples of power to burst from them at the time of collision. Ceringo's programming, favoring deviation rather than continuation, shows him an opoortunity. He slams his foot into Cerax's knee. Cerax floats backwards quickly and fires a dark orange blast towards the other android. Ceringo reels, allowing Cerax to rocket in, delivering a crushing uppercut upon his brother. Ceringo, as if disavowing any attack made by Cerax, fluidly brings his arm up and catches Cerax by the throat, lifting him higher into the air. Cerax, held out too far by Ceringo to kick him, clutches at his hand with both of his own. The larger android's iron grip lossens and Cerax floats backwards. Ceringo smirks. "No need to progress any further than that..." Cerax scowels and looks to the side. The horizon turns a dark, crimson red, and black lightning strikes several times in the distance. Cerax and Ceringo both turn to it. Ceringo nods "He's coming..." Cerax floats down and behind Ceringo a bit. "Then it's time for me to proceed..." Ceringo turns towards him "Wait until he's actually here...we'll work out a strategy for battle..." Cerax fires a large blast at Ceringo, who turn does his best to cancel it, however leaving the bulk of the blast to hit him. When the flash of the beam is gone, Cerax is nowhere to be seen. Ceringo narrows his eyes "Kuso! His programming is faulty...he'll have to be dealt with..." Ceringo dissappears, leaving tiny streaks and an after image were previously was. On the far end of the city, several buildings collapse on themselves.
Vegeta smirks as he floats down to the space in front of Son Gokuo's house. The message had been simple...Son Gokuo needed his help. 'Kakorotto...have you finally come to your senses?' he thinks to himself as he touches one foot on the ground, arms crosses over his chest. "Vegeta...I'm glad you came..." Vegeta looks over his shoulder at Gokuo without turning around. Gokuo was looking just fine, now, after his earlier confrontation with Cerax. "Your story is interesting Kakorotto...I'm glad that you finally realized that you are nothing without me." Vegeta turns his head forward, thinking '...if he can't beat them, how can I...?' Gokuo clears his throat "Yeah....these guys are different than anybody we've faced before....they're fighting skill is uncanny. They're strong..." he rests one hand on his stomach "...incredibly strong. They seem different from the other androids..." Vegeta turns around fully, facing Gokuo "How do you mean?" Gokuo shakes his head slightly, as if trying to figure something out for himself. "Their ki can be sensed...and they can aparantly sense our ki as well..." Vegeta seems a bit shocked as he hears this 'Are...are they becoming more human?' He shakes the thought out of his head '...No, that's impossible.' he turns around again. "Don't worry Kakorotto...they shall fall before the might of the Saiyajin Prince..." Gokuo turns his head to the side 'Let's just hope so...'
The five warriors stand outside Son Gokuo's house,all decked out in their fighting uniforms, ready to die fighting. Gohan nudged Tien slightly "Are you sure your up to this? Tien bows his head "I'll do all I can..." Vegeta snickers slightly to himself, a haughty look of superiorty on his face mixed with detatched anxiety. Gokuo, tightening his sash, turns to them and nods "Then let's go..." With that, the five of them become enveloped in their signiture colored ki and fly off into the sky, towards the city.
Ceringo waits as Ceta flys up to him slowly. Ceringo shakes his head "Cerax's programming has malfunctioned...and it would appear that the time of waiting is up..." Ceta nods, unfolding the wings that were drapped around his shoulders, revealing his dark purple gi. His sash tussles in the wind "There are no problems that we alone cannot overcome. Cerax's malfunction is unexpected, but not a disaster. He will be dealt with, after we have dealt with Son Gokuo along with the warriors that fight by his side." Ceringo nods, and they both turn towards the city. Five shining ki's blaze in the distance, streaking accross the sky towards them. As they get closer, the Z Senshi become visible. The five warriors stop short infront of the two androids, and the seven warriors float in absolute silence. Gokuo looks from Ceringo to Ceta. "Where's the other one?" Ceta smirks, his wings stretched out to their fullest. "It appears that he will not be joining us...no matter..." Ceta drapes his wings over his back once again and fluidly shifts into a gracefull fighting stance. "Enough idle banter....Son Gokuo, the time of your death is upon you, and I am your escort unto infinity." Gokuo narrows his eyes, shifting into his fighting stance. "When and if you see Dr. Gero, tell him that not only will all his experiments fail, but his memory will forever live in shame." Ceta smirks at this, and the rest of the senshi take their fighting stances.
Trunks and Gohan look at each other, nod, and simultaniously dash at Ceringo, while Vegeta and Gokuo dash at Ceringo. The androids welcome their assaults, easily evading and blocking the maneuvers. Tien looks back and forth between the combatants, wondering what he should do. 'I...I shouldn't even be here..I'm not strong enough to help...' He looks down below him, where the city is collapsing in on itself, building by building. He shakes his head, a feeling of insignifigance overwhelming him. 'I'll wait for the right moment...then sacrifice myself for the sake of the others....' He turns his attention back to the fighters before him, compeating in mortal combat.
Ceta pulls his hand back, still managing to block the onslaught of the two Saiyajin with his remaning arm and his leg, and slams his fist into the side of Vegeta's head. Vegeta, being pushed by the sheer power and force of the blow, crashes into Gokuo. Ceta smirks and backflips in mid-air, bringing his foot into Gokuo's side, sending the two Saiyajin warriors spinning earthward. Vegeta shakes it off, snarls, and pushes off Gokuo, flying back at Ceta with his fist drawn back. Gokuo flips around, righting himself, and riccochets off the ground, flying back into the fray.
Trunks and Gohan time their punches exactly, moving like mirror images of each other, trying to at least break the androids guard. Ceringo ducks under their blows, grabbing their legs in an iron grip. Holding their legs like a vice, he begins flipping around, ignoring their constant attempts to break free. With a smirk on his face, he ceases flipping and releases his grip on their legs, sending them higher into the air. They catch themselves easily, but Ceringo sends twin ki beams at them, which snake around each other in a fancy, yet lethal, light show. Trunks holds his hands out infront of him, cupped, to catch the beam aimed at him, and Gohan does the same. The beam slams into them, sending them backwards, but they slow momentarily. Trunks clenches his eyes shut, feeling the beam burn into his hands. WIth a tremendous cry, Trunks' aura flares and his jacket explodes as he transforms into a Super Saiyajin. The beam is diverted by his sudden power up, and sails into the sky, never to be seen again. Gohan continues to struggle with the beam, knowing full well that he cannot transform into his Super Saiyajin state without endangering the planet. Nevertheless, he powers up, his aura glowing with an odd mystic light. He spins around quickly, slapping the beam back towards it's point of origin. Ceringo flips out of the way just in time, the tips of his sash getting caught in the beam and cinged. He looks up at his two opponents, Mirai no Trunks in Super Saiyajin form, and Mystic Gohan, powered up by Dai Kaioshin. He looks at them, and where most otehrs would tremble, he smirks, coupled with an arrogant snicker. "It would appear that playtime...is over.." In a flash of light, he dashes towards the two of them, and their power-ups seem to make little difference at all.
Ceta grabs the back of Gokuo's head and throws him down towards the ground, raising his arm over his head as he does so. A dark crimson ki orb appears in his hand, crackling with black lightning. Before he can throw it, Vegeta rams into him with his shoulder from behind. Ceta gets knocked off balance and the orb dissipates. Vegeta, wasting no time on chivalry and honor, begins firing his Renzoku Energy Dan. The small explosions battering Ceta seem to be keeping him in check, but suddenly, with a dramatic flourish, Ceta throws his arms out to the side and extends his wings to their fulest, a circular surge of energy spreading out from him. Vegeta gets blasted backwards, tumbling over in mid-air. He rights himself, and holds his arms in front of his face. Ceta turns around, his eyes now without pupils and glowing red. The ground starts to shake, prompting Ceta and Vegeta to look down. From under a pile of rubble a golden light penetrates through the rocks. Energy jumps back and forth of the mound of debris. The air turns black momentarily, with torrents of wind picking up. Ceta narrows his eyes "Son Gokuo..." The pile of rubble explodes, and Gokuo floats straight up into the air slowly, in Super Saiyajin level four. Vegeta stares at him, gape mouthed. Without saying a word, Ceta and Gokuo disappear, their fighting still audible, but only visible to the two of them. Vegeta holds his arms ar his sides, collecting energy, making the transformation to Super Saiyajin level 3. 'Damn you, Kakorotto...how do you do it?' The air darkens as the two warriors continue their battle.
Gohan's aura flares up higher, as he watches Ceringo fight back and forth with Trunks. Ceringo lands a solid kick to Trunks' chin, causing his head to snap up. Using the opening he made for himself, Ceringo pounds Trunks in the gut repeatedly with his huge fist, at mind boggling speed, finishing with a powerfull lunging uppercut. Trunks flips backwards, his form returning to normal. Blood trickles down his chin as he float helplessly towards the remains of the city. Gohan narrows his eyes "You are a monster...one that I intend to rid the world of." He holds his arms over his head, collecting energy for his Masenku. Ceringo quirks his eyebrow and turns to Gohan. "You think you can remove me from the world, with that?" He smirks and holds his right hand at his hip, forming a blueish green ord in his hand, which is quickly growing. Gohan snarls and continues to gather energy, to focus his ki. The orb quickly envelops Cerningo's hand as it grows, and the two combatants stare at each other, knowing that this move will cost the loser dearly, and mean everything to the victor.
As the two charge their attacks above him, Trunks crashes into the remains of an office building. He sits up slowly, wiping the blood from his mouth with his hand. He looks up into the sky, seeing Gohan and Ceringo charging their ki beams, and also Vegeta staring at a darkened area in the sky. "The power levels are getting out of hand...soon enough..." Before he gets to finish the sentence, a jewled dagger whizzes past his head, striking a section of wall behind him, sticking straight out. Trunks narrows his eyes, jumping to his feet, turning Super Saiyajin as he does so. He spins around, and see's Cerax with one foot on a pile of rubble with his arms crosses, dreadlocks blowing in the wind. "So...you showed up after all...let's go then, I don't have time for formalities..." Trunks dashes at Cerax, who meets his barrage with near perfect blocks, moving less gracefully than preiviously, but effective nonetheless. Trunks, getting rather angry that he can't connect with the android, pulls his fist back behind him then quickly whips it forwards towards Cerax's face. Cerax brings his arms up to block the blow, but the force of the impact sends him to the floor. No sooner had Cerax hit the floor than he was back up again, crouching low and kicking Trunks' feet out from under him. He spins up to a standing position and kicks Trunks in the side, sending him flying through a broken section of wall. "Shin Kiko-ho!!" An orange light spreads in a box around Cerax, slamming him into the ground. The light recedes, then reappears, this tiem however, Cerax stands up within it and flys upwards. Tien's eyes grow large, staring in utter disbelief that his move couldn't even paralyze Cerax as it had Cell. Cerax appears next to Tien, leaning against him. Tien narrows his eyes and swings his fist at him, but his fist slices through thin air. Having reappeared above him, Cerax hammers Tien to the ground, then looks back up as Trunks rams into him from the front. "You should pay more attention, kisama!"
Gohan yells loudly, belting out 'Masenku', the name of the attack as he fires the shining beam towards Ceringo. Ceringo thrusts his hand forward at teh exact same moment, a tremendous beam shooting out of the radiating orb of ki encirclign his fist. The beams careen across the air between the two combatants, and collide with a deafening crash. Feeling the power of the opposing beam pushing toward his, Ceringo clasps his left hand onto his right wrist, increasing his beams power and sending the energy encounter back towards Gohan. Gohan grunts, mustering up more energy to pour into the beam, knowing that this could very well be an all or nothing situation. The point of collision between the two beams moves back and forth between them, each gaining ground and losing it just as quickly. Then, slowly at first, the beams begin moving back towards Gohan. His outward expression remaining calm, he redoubles his efforts, but to no avail. Searing pain shoots through his arms, and he can no longer maintain this contest of power. The combined beams crash into him and explode, causing him to scream in pain. As the smoke around him disipates, his clothes are now torn, and he's floating in almost the same place, seemingl unharmed by the beam. But the outward appearance is nothing compared to what is within...the thoughts buzzing through his head are of the knowledge that he could have won, at the cost of the planet. As he sways back and forth and his eyes force themselves to close, he thinks of Videl. His vision turns gray and the mighty Son Gohan falls earthward, unconcious. Ceringo dashes forward, grabbing him by the neck, pulling his fist back to end the job. Energy in the shape of a blade forms around his fist, and a smirk crosses his face. "Fare thee well, Son Gohan..." An orange orb slams into Ceringo's back, causing the ki around his fist to disipate and his grip on Gohan's neck to break, sending the Saiyajin down towards the ground once more. He turns around to see Cerax fkying towards him, being chased by Trunks and Tien. Cerax stops infront of him, and the two stare at each other coldly. Trunks diverts his attention to Gohan, reaching out and grabbing him out of the air, then flying downward with him. Trunks sets Gohan down carefully and looks back up at the android confrontation. 'What the hell is going on?' He looks down at Gohan. "Kuso...we're in pretty bad shape if Gohan was defeated..."
Vegeta snarls, watching the flashes of light amidst the darkened area of sky. "Enough of this!" He fires a beam into the area he assumes Gokuo is fighting Ceta in. The beam is seemingly absorbed into the blackness, and Vegeta sighs. Abandoning all attempts to aid in the battle, he powers down, returning to his normal form. Then suddenly, both Ceta and Gokuo are visibel, both of them hunched over and panting. Ceta straightens himself and returns to his full height, as does Gokuo. Ceta draws his arms back and spreads his wings, his head tilting back. GOkuo narrows his eyes and clenches both fists. Vegeta looks between the two of them. 'Now I might be able to take him...' Vegeta powers up once more, quickly this time, a small explosion marking his transformation into Super Saiyajin 3. Gokuo turns his eyes to him for a moment, then back to Ceta. Vegeta dashes forward with his fist drawn back, but before he reaches Ceta, he gets knocked backwards by an invisible barrier. He shakes his head and tries again, with the same results. Growling lowly, he tries repeatedly to break through, pounding on the barrier, causing slight explosions with every punch. Ceta ignores the assault on his barrier and begins to radiate with energy.
Tien stares as Ceringo and Cerax begin fighting. Floating up next to Tien, warching the androids fight each other, Trunks tries to figure things out for himself. "Did they say anything?" Tien shakes his head "No...they just...started fighting after a momentary pause." Trunks nods "This may be my only chance to power up..." Tien nods and floats a bit away from him. Trunks, concentrating on his ki, begins summoning all the power that he can. Already in his Super Saiyajin form, his expression changes subtly, along with his features. His hair brightens slightly as he reaches level two of the Super Saiyajin transformation. His aura radiates with power and Tein looks on in admiration for the power he knows he can never have. The battle between the androids then intensifies, as ki beams traverse the skies around them. Spinning out of the way of a stray beam, Tien closes his eyes. Focusing on his own ki, he bgins to radiate with a white light. 'It's not nearly enough...' he opens his eyes and see's Ceringo pounding on Cerax, the latter putting up a formidible struggle. Ceringo spin kicks Cerax, his foot connecting eith the side of his head. Cerax flys helplessly towards Tein, who catches him on instinct. Cerax's eyes flutter open and he looks up at Tien. Cerax coughs up blood and rights himself in the air, staring at Tien. "You'll do..." Tien narrows his eyes "I'll do for what?" Cerax grasps his side in pain. "To save my own conciousness...I am forced to transfer my mind and power into your body..." Tien gasps, a bit shocked "How is that possible?....No...I don't want to know...but I'll never consent to it anyway..." Cerax smirks "Your willingness isn't needed, just feel happy that you'll not only live, but be given access to immense power." Cerax appears behind Tien and grabs him, into a full nelson hold. Tien struggles to break free. "No! Wait!" Cerax smirks and the two of them glow with an orange light. Ceringo dashes at the two of them with his leg scrunched again his chest for an attack, shortly followed by Trunks. "No! Tien-san!" There's an explosion, with Cerax and Tien at the epicenter of it. Ceringo can't stop himself and gets blasted backwards, colliding with Trunks, sending the two of them into a spin. They stop spinning and seemingly forget their differences as the stare into the receeding explosion. "Tien-sane...." The smoke billows and rolls in on itself, becoming more and more dense. Then, without any warning, Tien flys out of the smoke, looking down at Trunks and Ceringo. Trunks stares in disbelief "Tien-san!" Tien looks straight at Ceringo, almost completely ignoring Trunks. "Time to die, Ceringo..." Tien smirks and Ceringo narrows his eyes. Tien looks at Trunks and nods towards Ceringo. Trunks nods hesitantly, not knowing what to make of all this, then turns his gaze to Ceringo. The three of them dash forward, and into battle.
Vegeta growls, watching Ceta simply stand there inside his barrier. He looks at Gokuo out of the corner of his eye. 'And he's doing nothing....' He turns around to face Gokuo "Come on Kakorrotto!" Gokuo nods, and dashes into the barrier, whipping his fist into it as he dashes. The air around Ceta shatters in a circular pattern. Gokuo continues dashing at Ceta as does Vegeta. They both hit him, but he seems unphased by the punches entirely. He begins to radiate with red energy as he looks at them with an evil grin. "Now witness the power that Dr. Gero has bestowed upon me." They both float back and away from him, and the sky turns crimson red. Ceta clenches his fists and looks upwards again. He lets out a cry, and the same crimson light pours from his mouth and eyes. Black lightening swirls around Gokuo and Vegeta, the both of them seemingly powerless to stop this. Ceta spreads his wings and balls of fire pelt the two of them, along with the lightening. They both hold in their screams, but clench their eyes shut, causing them to fail to see a ki orb forming infront Ceta's chest. It gorws in size and Ceta cackles maniacally. He fires a huge beam at the two Saiyajin warriors, causing the lightening and fire to disappear. Vegeta and Gokuo open their eyes in time to see the beam coming at them and they dash in opposite directions.
Gokuo spins around, facing the beam with his hands cupped at his side. "Chou...."
Vegeta floats backwards, his arms held at his sides. "Final....."
Ceta holds his arms out to the sides, laughing maniacally once more.
Tien draws his fist back and slams it into Ceringo's jaw in a devestatin right hook, then quickly follows up with a shot to his solar plexus. Trunks kicks Ceringo in the ribs, then spins around, whipping his fist around as he does so, backhand him accross the face. With blood trickling from his mouth, Ceringo staggers backwards and floats earthward, taking the fight to the ground. Tien follows him quickly, as does Trunks. Tien and Ceringo dash at each other, trading blows at lightening speed, with Tien slowly gaining the upper hand. Trunks ducks low, kicking Ceringo's feet out from under him, but the android flips up immediately and tackles him. Grabbing him by his left arm and his left leg, Ceringo throws Trunks into a building, which is on it's side. He crashes through the wall, and Ceringo fires a beam to follow him, making the building explode and collapse ontop of the futuristic Super Saiyajin. Tien rams into Ceringo and begins punching him in the face rather hard, at an extreme speed. Ceringo kicks Tien off of him with both legs, jumping to his feet in the same motion, bringing his hand up and firing a ki beam at Tien. Tien flips around and grabs the beam in both hands. His body trembles violently, as if about to give out, but then the beam changes color from blueish-green to white. He leans his weight forward quickly, forcing the beam back towards Ceringo. As there's no time to evade or guard against it, the beam collides solely with Ceringo's arm, blasting into oblivion, causing the android to stagger backwards.
