Rebirth of Carnage: Vol. 3
The early morning light glints off of Hageshi's eye. He looks around, the view from the high cliff overlooking the sea would be breath taking, if he cared enough to think about it as a sight, and not as a strategic battle point. But no…he doesn't care much for it at all; instead he turns around, the 'RR' tattoo on his right arm seemingly shining in the light of the sun. "Okori, is Kichigai awake yet? I'm anxious to tear into Son Gokuo and the rest of the Z Senshi." He snarls, the style of which could rival even Vegeta's. Okori snickers sinisterly, the android knowing exactly how his brother felt. "Don't worry brother, he's awake. His enthusiasm reflects our own, but we have to oversee the final stages of Dr. Gero's final project." Hageshi frowns. "Hell if I care about that project. Dr. Gero was a fool for even starting it. I can't understand why he even wants to have one of THEM exact his vengeance…." Okori laughs "Again, I know how you feel, my brother, but let's do it anyway. Then at least after we get rid of those annoying Z Senshi we'll still be able to have some fun." Hageshi grins broadly, a look of sadistic glee in his eye. The two androids stood on the cliff, looking out over the sea as the waves crashed against the bottom of the cliff noisily. The wind begins to speed up, causing the red sashes on their waists to tussle to the side. Kichigai steps outside and stands next to them and none of them say a word.
The three androids look extremely militant in their clothes, which are all the same. The red sashes, the jet-black pants that billowed in the wind, the black chains that were draped from their right shoulders to the left side of their waist. There were unique features on each of them however. The rift side of Hageshi's face was entirely metal with a glowing red eye, as was his left arm up to and including his shoulder. His black hair was tied back tightly into a small braid that hung down to his lower back. Okori's abdomen was the same way, all metallic. No flesh, no skin, simply metal. His hair falls limp, looking much like Trunks' hair save for the fact that it was black. Kichigai stood apart from them both. His hair was a shining silver, not uniformly black, and fell down past his shoulders without brace of braid or ponytail. Both of his arms were metal, like Hageshi's, except his hands, which were by some miracle made of flesh. Like all other androids before them, they had the same eyes. Those cold, ruthless eyes that were remembered always by Mirai no Trunks. All of them had the same 'RR' tattoo on their right arms, where Kichigai's seem to have been etched in with fine skill and precaution. The same cold stare and blank expressions greeted any that would look, but those expressions would give way to an arrogant smirk, a sneer, or a snarl. The three of them remained unmoving and silent, looking out over the water. One might be better off calling them cyborgs, rather than androids. A fiery red light flashes from within, followed by an infant's cries. Without a word, the three of them rocketed into the sky; each surrounded by black ki.
Vegeta stares across the blazing emptiness of the desert determined to make himself the strongest Saiyajin once again. 'Damn you Kakorotto…how is it that every time I manage to catch up to you, you advance?' Vegeta trembles with rage and power, concentrating on raising his ki. His aura flares to life around him, causing the loose rocks in the desert to jump as the ground shakes. A crater spread outwards from his feet, and his hair changes gold and grows long. Standing in all the glory of Super Saiyajin level 3, Vegeta yells at the top of his lungs, prompting an explosion of ki. Standing amidst the smoke, Vegeta looks down at his hands. 'The fights with the previous androids gave me significant new power, but not nearly as much as Kakorotto…' he clenches his fists '...but I'll be damned before I allow that pathetic low class soldier to remain my superior!' He flies upwards, out of the smoke, and immediately looks in front of him. Seeing three shadowy shapes before him, he curses himself silently for being too preoccupied to have sensed them coming. He bares his teeth, and without saying anything else, he screams out a battle cry, charging straight at the three androids with his fist drawn back. There's a flash of red light, blinding him, and lighting the entire area. Vegeta suddenly finds himself out of breath, and no longer able to maintain his transformed state. "K…k…kuso…" His eyes slide closed and he falls downwards, hitting the ground with a loud crash. The three androids can be heard laughing maniacally and the float down to the ground beside Vegeta. Vegeta lay inside the crater he made earlier, his breathing coming in short drawn-out breaths. Hageshi smirks "The Saiyajin Prince, Vegeta…what a fitting way to introduce our presence into the world." Hageshi raises his hand above his head, his fist radiating with black waves of energy. Kichigai grabs his arm "No…let him live. It'll prove most amusing having him seek revenge on us." Hageshi lowers his arm, his fist returning to normal. "Very well…I will spare him for now, but I get him later on. Agreed?" Kichigai smiles wildly, his face more than likely very disturbing to any who might be watching other than his brothers. "Of course, my brother." Hageshi smirks and the three of them become enveloped in black ki once again. They take off into the sky, leaving Vegeta just as he manages to open his eyes again.
Vegeta sits up, coughing slightly. "It's seems the time of training has expired…" he smirks "Little do they know that they've just given me more power…" He thinks for a moment, then stands up to his feet, a bit wobbly. "No…they know, it would appear that they don't care. Well, more is the pity for them; they should have finished me while I was down. These androids are becoming pathetic…" He smiles arrogantly, but knows somewhere deep inside of him that he was extremely lucky to be alive at the moment. "Well…unless they get to him first, I suppose I should tell Kakorotto…that bastard, forcing me to rely upon him…" He becomes surrounded by gold ki and rockets into the sky, in the same general direction of the androids.
Gokuo looks over his shoulder, a frustrated look on his face. 'Where'd he go?' His eyes scan around the vastness of the plateau. He senses a twinge of power and jumps to the side, just as Tien comes crashing into the ground, his fist creating a rather large hole. Gokuo kicks outwards with his right leg, balancing his hands on the ground as he does so. His foot connects with the back of Tien's knees, forcing him to the ground. With his leg still in motion from the sweep, Gokuo handsprings off the ground, flipping away from his sparring partner. Tien comes back up to his feet, with a smirk on his face. "It's almost like it was when you were a little kid, eh Gokuo?" A slow grin crosses Gokuo's face. "Almost, but not quite. Back then there wasn't nearly as much power between us. And besides, you're still not stronger than I am." Tien chuckles "I never claimed to be, now let's get on with it." Gokuo nods and the two of them dash forward, colliding into each other with a loud crash. As they trade blows, the two of them float upwards inside a pillar of swirling wind. Gokuo breaks the pattern, connecting with Tien's jaw with his fist, then quickly connecting his abdomen with his knee. Following his momentum, he interlaces his fingers above his head, then slams them onto Tien's back, sending the large man towards the ground. Tien flips around, landing on his feet, and looks back up at Gokuo, all three of his eyes looking as if they're trying to force themselves shut. Gokuo floats down beside him. "I think that's enough for now, eh?" Tien smiles "Thanks…" Gokuo grins and pats Tien on the back, causing him to fall over. Gokuo blinks, then scratches the back of his head with an idiotic grin on his face. "Guess I overdid it…"
He helps Tien to his feet, just as Vegeta flies onto the plateau and stops short next to them. As he stops, he catches his breath, something quite unusual for any of the Z Senshi. Vegeta coughs then looks up at Gokuo. "There's three more of them…" Gokuo looks shocked. "Already?! It's only been two months!" Vegeta nods, his usual frown still managing to be on his face. "They don't seem to care too much about our schedule, Kakorotto…I know I wouldn't if I were in their position. The question is, how did they manage to get so much stronger in just two months?" Gokuo's expression changes, his serious look coming over his face. "What do you mean? What happened?" Vegeta clenches his fist, looking down with a snarl. "Those bastards took me by surprise and somehow put me down without me even knowing what happened…" Gokuo's face shifts into a shocked expression once again. Both shocked that these androids were that powerful, and that Vegeta would admit to it. "Come on…we have to get everybody else. We can't make a stand against them by ourselves…Tien, go get Gohan and Trunks, they should be at Capsule Corp. Vegeta, go see if you can find Piccolo…" Vegeta glares at him. "What benefit can that pointy eared Namekian provide?" Gokuo frowns "I'm not in the mood to argue right now Vegeta…just do it. And I don't want to hear anything about how you won't take any orders from a low class Saiyajin warrior. Just do it!" Vegeta smirks, snickering "Alright, Kakorotto…you can play leader this time, but don't think I'll forget it…" with that, Vegeta becomes enveloped in golden ki and takes off in search of Piccolo. Tien looks at Gokuo, with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you going to do?" Gokuo snarls, looking much like Vegeta, enough even to put the Prince of Saiyajins to shame. "I'm going to go make a first impression…" The words barely out of his mouth, Gokuo's aura blasts into existence, flaring up around him as he suddenly transforms into Super Saiyajin level 4, leaving Tien to cover his face. Tien reaches for him, but Gokuo rockets into the sky, leaving a blazing trail of ki behind him as he goes and a crater on the ground where he was just standing. Tien sighs then becomes surrounded by his aura, taking off for Capsule Corp.
A short time later, Hageshi, Kichigai, and Okori land on the side of a highway running through Sattan City. As the air cars blaze past them, Hageshi's robotic eye glints in the light. He smirks. "The fools…they don't even know the happenings of this planet... none of them that matter, at any rate. It almost makes me feel pity for Son Gokuo that none of them know that he is their true hero." Okori laughs. "If one can feel pity for one's enemy, I suppose that would be a reason to pity Son Gokuo. If only they'd known that it was Son Gohan that killed Cell, this city would be named for him, not that pathetic creature Mr. Sattan…" Kichigai smirks "Well maybe if Mr. Sattan wants to claim victory over us, we should give him the opportunity to do so." Hageshi laughs "That pitiful excuse for living organism?" Okori tilts his head to the side with a smirk "Don't you mean 'Pitiful excuse for a man'?" Hageshi's smirk widens "I would say so, but that thing is too pathetic too even be called human." The three of them laugh, and turn their attentions back to the highway before them. Kichigai arches on of his eyebrows, watching as people slow down and stare at them as they drive past. "We seem to be drawing attention…" The other two androids look, and Hageshi smirks. "Then by all means, let's attract more…" He floats into the air, watched by his brothers and causing more people to stare. He smirks, raising his arm over his head. "Such stupid creatures…and so weak…" A black ki ball appears above his open palm, radiating with energy and spinning around endlessly. With a maniacal laugh, he tosses the ball at the center of the highway, which explodes when it comes into contact with the ki ball. Cars on the highway in front of the new hole swerve, the drivers jamming on their breaks, but ultimately falling through the gap anyway. Traffic quickly piles up causing several accidents. Hageshi continues laughing as the screams cut through the air and the smoke billows into the sky. The android floats back down, and Kichigai sighs. "You could have at least made it slow…the people caught in the explosion died almost immediately." Hageshi smirks. "Then next time, you can handle it." Kichigai grins "With pleasure…" The three of them float into the air once again and leave the scene.
…At the same time at Capsule Corporation…
Tien lands outside the Capsule Corporation Building, and dashes inside, the door nearly coming off its hinges as he slams it open. "Gohan! Trunks! Where are you?!" Dr. Briefs walks up, with Scratch hanging off his shoulder staring blankly at Tien. "What's the problem, son?" Tien turns to Dr. Briefs "Where's Gohan and Trunks? We have a problem." Dr. Briefs blinks and scratches his head. "I think they're in the gravity chamber…but, hey! What's your hurry?" The last part he says as Tien darts out the door again, heading for the gravity chamber outside. Tien ignores him 'Sorry, ouji-san, but we don't have time for small talk…' He reaches the chamber and hits the panel, opening the door and stepping inside. Gohan, Mirai no Trunks, Goten, and Trunks slam into the ceiling then fall to the floor as he opens the door and the gravity machine shuts itself off. Tien rubs the back of his head. "Sorry about that…" Gohan picks himself up, looking over at Tien. "It's alright…so what's up?" Tien's expression quickly changes from being sorry to being serious. "There's trouble, three more androids have come." Mirai no Trunks takes a few steps forward. "Where are they?!" Tien opens his mouth to respond when a highway across the city explodes. "I think that's the answer you needed…" Mirai no Trunks nods and starts out the door, but Gohan catches his shoulder. "We have to wait for my father…" Tien clears his throat. "Gokuo should be right behind them…" Gohan looks up, then nods. "Then let's go…" Goten and Trunks jump up, their fists clenched "Can we come too?" they say in unison. Gohan looks over his shoulder at them "Absolutely not…and I don't want to catch you following us…" The two of them groan, and go over to converse with themselves. Gohan narrows his eyes at them. "And don't start plotting anything either!" The two of them look up at him with innocent looks on their faces. Gohan sighs and shakes his head and steps outside, followed by Tien and Mirai no Trunks. The three of them blaze off into the sky, towards the highway.
As soon as the three of them are out of sight, Goten and Trunks come running out of the gravity chamber. Trunks turns to Goten, with a smirk on his face, obviously inherited from his father. "Goten! As soon as they won't expect it, let's go!" Goten beams brightly "Your so smart Trunks!" Trunks grins and turns to the side, flicking his hair with his little hand. "Of course I am!"
Gokuo stops short in the air over the highway, smoke billowing up beside him. He stares down at the hole in highway and clenches his fists. He looks around, knowing that the androids are still somewhere nearby. 'Where the hell did those bastards go?' He turns his head to the side, looking atop a nearby building, seeing three figures on top of it, with their backs to him. 'Either their fools, or they don't care that's I'm here…but I just can't assume that their fools…' His eyes dart to the right of the building, where he sees three aura's in the distance, coming closer. He grins. 'They're too busy concentrating on them that they haven't noticed me…' The Saiyajin smirks again, in this state making him look very much like a demon. He flicks his tail back and forth, floating in the air with his arms straight down and his fists clenched. 'I'll use that to my advantage…' He disappears, vertical streaks appearing where he just was. Travelling through a mottled sky, he appears right behind the three androids, ending his use of the shinkan idou. Knowing that only a blind, deaf, idiot wouldn't be able to sense him now, he waits there. Keeping himself ready to defend. The three androids turn around suddenly, looks of shock on all their faces that cannot be hidden. The shocked expressions change to trademark smirks for all of them, and Hageshi turns his head to the side and slightly downwards, with his eyes closed. With open palms, he extends his arms forward, his elbows resting on his ribs, in an odd shrug. "It would seem that we underestimated you already, Son Gokuo." He turns his head back up, looking straight into Gokuo's eyes with a smirk on his face once again. "But that's not a problem, is it?" Gokuo narrows his eyes, and visibly trembles with rage. Okori laughs, "You seem to have hit a nerve, Hageshi. Just look, he's living up to my name-sake for me." (For those who don't know, Hageshi means fury, Okori means rage, and Kichigai means insane. Just a quick Japanese lesson ^_^) Hageshi snickers. "So it would seem brother…but that's all the better for us, we get to have more fun."
The three of them disappear, reappearing quickly on three sides of Gokuo. Gokuo remains fades out of view, and the three of them look up, cursing themselves for falling for the after image. Gokuo's fist slams into Hageshi's face, while a second later his foot crashes into Kichigai's neck. Okori's elbow embeds itself in his abdomen, with no little amount of force, and the android pushes Gokuo forward. Coughing, Gokuo glares back at the three of them. The three of them laugh, folding their arms over their chests. Using a move previously used by 17 and 18; the three of them line up, none of them visible behind Hageshi. They dash towards Gokuo, and the Saiyajin flies forward with his leg out, kicking Hageshi in the gut and sending him colliding into Okori behind him. Kichigai manages to vault over his two brothers, and punches Gokuo in the side of the head, his arm continuing to swing after it hits and pushing the Saiyajin to the side, causing him to spin around once. Hageshi growls, grabbing Gokuo by the neck. Gokuo holds his hand against Hageshi's chest, and fires a ki beam into it. Okori avoids colliding into his brother again as he's blasted back and joins Kichigai in an assault on Gokuo. Gokuo, moving his arms to block, as well as moving his body to dodge, does his best to force the androids into a stalemate. Okori smirks and kicks through Gokuo's guard as Kichigai draws his arm back, creating an orb of ki around his fist. Gokuo cries out in pain as the beam explodes in front of him, blinding him momentarily as well as damaging him. The three androids reassemble and prepare to dash at him again, when Tien, Gohan, and Mirai no Trunks arrive, and stop in the air before Gokuo. The androids smirk widely, Kichigai snickering. "Looks like the gang's all here…wait no…we're missing Vegeta. What a pity…" Gokuo regains his composure and floats beside the other three senshi. "You bastards…you know why he isn't here…" Okori laughs. "I don't have the slightest idea what you mean, Son Gokuo…" Gokuo narrows his eyes. "At any rate, we can't stay here…the city will get destroyed, and too many people will get hurt…" Hageshi looks around, observing the city. "You're right…a city is no place to fight…" He shifts his eyes to Kichigai and the latter android smirks. "With pleasure…" The android blazes into the air, spinning around. Gohan darts after him, but the android holds both arms over his head, radiating with black energy. The android finally stops, flipping over, hovering upside down as he fires a large black beam towards the ground, which darts past Gohan and the rest of the senshi below him. Gohan watches the beam, wide eyed. "Kuso!" He flies down, trying to get ahead of the beam, but stops when he realises that he can't. "Kuso! You bastard!" Gohan's aura flares up as the beam hits the ground, causing a huge explosion to swell up. Hundreds of screams are heard as the explosion overtakes people and destroys everything in the surrounding area. Secondary explosions follow as Gohan charges towards Kichigai with a look of fury in his eyes. Kichigai grins maniacally and greets the charging Saiyajin with his fist.
Vegeta flies over the earth, watching the landscape change from desert to forest. His eyes are earthward as he searches for Piccolo. Sensing a power down below, he flies down through the trees and looks around. Seeing a fire with a deer roasting over it, he looks around again, wondering who it was that he felt, knowing that Piccolo doesn't eat. He looks to his left, hearing something. He walks in the direction, finding Yamcha sleeping behind a rock, whimpering in his sleep. Vegeta turns around, arms folded across his chest, prepared to leave. Yamcha shifts in his sleep "Oh Bulma…" Vegeta stops, and turns around. He draws his foot back and kicks Yamcha in the ribs, waking him up quite painfully. Yamcha jumps up, holding his side, staring at Vegeta. "V…Vegeta! What are you doing out here?" Vegeta growls "What are you doing out here talking about my wife in your sleep?!" A sweat drop forms over Yamcha's head. "Dear Kami, don't kill me!" Vegeta turns around, looking over his shoulder at Yamcha. "Hmph…you're too weak, there's no sport in it. And for your information, I was looking for Piccolo." Yamcha breathes a sigh of relief when Vegeta changes the subject. "Piccolo? I think he was by the mountains…why are you looking for him?" Vegeta snickers "Kakorotto wanted me to get him to help fight the androids." Yamcha jumps "Androids?! Well…I hope you find him…nice to see you again Vegeta…" Vegeta laughs. "You're so pathetic, I could always see why Bulma preferred me to you." Yamcha scowls, not too happy about that comment. "I'll help you find him…" Vegeta laughs again "Perfect, we've aquired more bait. Follow if you can, weakling." Vegeta rockets into the air, headed towards the mountains. Yamcha shudders, thinking of the androids, then follows Vegeta.
Vegeta lands by the foot of the mountain, Yamcha arriving half a minute later. Vegeta smirks, not saying anything, and begins looking for Piccolo. Yamcha heads off in one direction, leaving Vegeta. A white cape flutters on a cliff in above Vegeta, and he looks up at the Namekian standing with his arms crossed in an arrogant stance. Vegeta snickers, floating up in front of Piccolo. "What do you want, Vegeta?" Vegeta smirks "I don't want anything from you, but Kakorotto thought you might make some difference against the androids." Piccolo narrows his eyes at Vegeta; not looking surprised at all by the mention of androids. Yamcha floats up beside Piccolo, still holding his side. Piccolo glares at Vegeta "Lead the way Vegeta…" Vegeta snickers again and flies back towards Sattan City. Piccolo follows him closely, and Yamcha trails behind the two of them.
Gohan wipes the blood from his mouth, and looks back up at Kichigai. The android smirks and floats past him to rejoin his brothers. Gohan narrows his eyes "Bastard…" He floats back down next to his father, and the seven of them stare at each other, their eyes deadlocked. The smirks on the android's faces are reflected by the scowls of the Z Senshi. No longer able to contain himself, Mirai no Trunk raises his ki level quickly, his aura blasting against everybody as he turns Super Saiyajin 2. Hageshi snickers at him "A nice trick, boy, but not nearly enough. And you might as well take that armor off, it does no good…you too Son Gohan." Trunks growls, not even realising he was still wearing the armor from when they were in the gravity chamber. Okori looks at Gohan, with his head tilted to the side slightly. "What about you? Aren't you going to turn into a Super Saiyajin as well?" A slow smile crosses Gohan's lips "I don't think you'd like that…" Okori arches an eyebrow "Oh? And why is that, exactly?" Gohan chuckles and remains silent. Okori frowns "I asked you a question…" Gohan's grin broadens, enjoying pissing the android off. "I heard you, but I just didn't find it suitable to respond. I can't stand talking to machine's you know." Okori smirks "You amuse, Son Gohan, it's a shame that we're going to have to kill you." As if on cue, the three androids float to the ground, quickly followed by the four Z Senshi. Touching foot on the ground, the three androids move in unison, shifting their weight onto their back leg, standing side ways. Gokuo's tail twitches back and forth and he puts himself lower to the ground, taking his fighting stance. The rest of them follow suit, but still they all remain unmoving. A wall nearby, unable to remain standing under it's own power, slides off it's foundation and crashes to the ground. As if the gunshot was sounded starting a race, the seven senshi dash at each other, Gokuo and Hageshi fighting each other, Mirai no Trunks and Tien taking Okori, and Gohan taking Kichigai. The seven of them spread out, their respective partners with them, locked in combat.
The androids take the upper hand, almost simultaneously. Hageshi kicks Gokuo backwards, as Okori runs between Mirai no Trunks and Tien with his arms to the sides and catches them by the throats. Kichigai ducks then lunges forward, taking Gohan off his feet. The Z Senshi wind up back to back in the center of the androids. The androids raise their hands at them, each firing a ki beam towards the group. The four of them scatter, and the beams hit the ground, exploding and exposing a water pipe, causing steam to shoot up out of the crater. The androids dart to the side, following the senshi's movements. The androids stop short, finding only each other within the steam. Hageshi growls "You can't stay hidden!" As if called by Hageshi's yelling, Gokuo cuts through the steam and spins around, whipping his foot around and catching Hageshi in the back of the head. The android stumbles forward, and his two brothers dash at Gokuo. The Saiyajin goes on defense, being pushed back by their assault. Gohan flies into Kichigai and at the same time, Tien flies into Okori. The androids are pushed to the ground, but only momentarily, as they spin back to their feet and lash out at the two with their ki. Tien gets blasted backwards by the attack, flying backwards through the steam and crashing into an overturned and flaming truck. Mirai no Trunks fades into view behind Okori, bringing his foot up towards the androids head. Sensing the coming attack, Okori ducks and kicks outwards, tripping Trunks. Jumping back to his feet, Okori backflips onto Trunks, his hands coming to a rest on the Saiyajins back. He remains in a handstand on his back until he fires ki from his hands and bounces off. Trunks screams in pain and Okori simply smirks. "You have no idea how powerful we truly are…" Gokuo grabs Okori from behind. "Neither do you…" Okori snickers then flips Gokuo over his shoulders. "Son Gokuo, it's only beginning…"
Gokuo stands back up, and the senshi regroup. The androids line up once again, their arms crossed over their chests, the arrogant smirks one their faces somewhat livelier than before. Gokuo narrows his eyes, watching them. 'Kuso…they're more powerful than I thought…' The androids break his train of thought as they charge at the senshi once again. Getting knocked to the floor by one crushing blow from Kichigai, Tien attempts to push himself back up, but the android kicks him into the air, sending him into a building and dashing after him. Gohan pushes Trunks out of the way as Hageshi barrels past them. The two half Saiyajins dash towards what used to be a parking lot with a fence around it. Gokuo and Okori square off right there, trading blows back and forth, the balance of power between them teetering in either direction every now and again. Okori smirks as he kicks Gokuo's legs out from under him, then smashes him in the back of the neck with his elbow. The smirk is quickly wiped off his face as Gokuo handsprings off the ground and kicks him in the chin with both feet. The android stumbles, taking a few steps back. The two of them glare at each other, then collide once again.
Blood sprays from Tien's mouth as Kichigai's head connects with his. The android, relentless, proceeds to elbow him in the jaw. Tien crashes through the wall behind him, tumbling over and braces himself on the floor. Kichigai smirks and jumps towards him. Tien rolls to the side, and Kichigai's knee smashes through the ground where he just was. Tien spins off the floor, snapping his leg around and connecting with the androids face, dead center. Kichigai's head snaps back, and blood trickles from his nose. Tien narrows his eyes, knowing that he can't stop, even for a second, and fires a ki beam at the android, which explodes on contact. Tien jumps into the explosion, and his fist slices through nothing but air. 'Kuso…' Kichigai's shoulder rams into him from behind, sending him to the floor once again. The android laughs and slams his fist into Tien's back, kneeling down as he delivers the blow. Tien let's out a cry as the pain shoots up his spine. The android stands up, and raises his hand above his head. A purple ki beam crashes into his back, and he spins around, a murderous look in his eyes. Piccolo lands a short way in front of him, and throws his cape and turban to the side. Kichigai smirks "Ah, the mighty Piccolo…still think you can make a difference?" Piccolo stares at the android, his face expressionless. "Enough talk…" Kichigai laughs again, and charges at the Namek sei-jin.
Gohan and Mirai no Trunks stop short and turn around, skidding for a moment on the pavement. Hageshi jumps at Trunks and kicks him in the chest, sending him back into a car. Gohan curses silently, not realising that the android was right behind them. Without further hesitation, Gohan leaps at Hageshi, his foot connecting with the side of the androids head, forcing him to stagger. Hageshi spins around to face him, bringing his fist towards Gohan's abdomen. Gohan turns his body to the side, grabbing the androids arm and spinning, using his attack as leverage to flip him. Slamming his foot onto the androids throat with his left foot and forcing his weight down, Gohan kicks the androids face with his right foot, blood spraying from the androids mouth in the process. Hageshi growls, grabbing Gohan's foot and pushing him off. Gohan flips over, managing to land on his feet. Hageshi is there to meet him as he does, upper cutting him in the chin. Gohan flips over again, this time landing flat on the ground. Trunks' aura flares up, and Hageshi looks sidelong at him. Trunks dashes at him, unleashing a barrage against him. Hageshi moves out of the way, dodging his assault with a graceful ease. This enrages Trunks further, and his aura flares up further as he makes the jump from Super Saiyajin level 2 to level 3. Hageshi arches his eyebrow and smirks as he catches Trunks' fist. "Such a shame…" He moves his free hand towards Trunks' ribs, but the enraged Saiyajin catches his fist as well. The two of them struggle, and Trunks is forced to one knee. A white booted foot crashes into Hageshi's face from the side, breaking the confrontation. Hageshi stands up to his full height once again, looking over towards the source of the kick. Vegeta scowls at him. "Hands off my son…" Hageshi laughs, prompting a snarl from Vegeta. Trunks looks over at Gohan, who's standing next to Yamcha. 'Looks like the backup has arrived…but is it enough?' Vegeta looks at Trunks, and Trunks nods. The two of them dash at Hageshi, and the android continues to laugh as he dodges their combined attacks.
Yamcha looks Gohan over. "Are you sure you're okay?" Gohan nods, wiping blood off his mouth. "Yeah, I'm fine, go check on Tien." Yamcha nods "Piccolo's helping him." Gohan snarls "Then do something constructive!" Yamcha blinks as Gohan dashes over to assist his father. Yamcha looks around 'Constructive? Right…' He surrounds himself with ki and flies off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
Gokuo grabs Okori by his arms and flips over, his feet catching the android in the chin, while twisting his arms around. Okori pulls his arms away from Gokuo's grip, and rubs his chin. The android yells loudly, followed by an explosion as his black aura envelops him. Gokuo dashes at him, his own aura flaring up higher. The two of them disappear, reappearing for moments at a time, fighting too fast for normal eyes to follow. Gohan stops short, watching the spectacle before him, his eyes darting back and forth to follow the movements of the two fighters. He narrows his eyes, then disappears as well. Gohan joins in the combat, able to see his father and Okori now that he's matched their speed. The three of them fight while the area around them seems to be moving in slow motion. Gokuo's and Gohan's punches fall in time with one another, as Okori is forced to block now from two sides. Okori grabs both of their arms as they punch at him, flipping around at high speed, and releases them, sending them into the ground. The area returns to its normal speed in their eyes, and Okori stands over the two of them. Grabbing Gohan by the throat and lifting him into the air, Hageshi whips his fist forward, only to have it caught by Gokuo from behind. The android looks back at him, obviously surprised, and loses his grip on Gohan as Gokuo embeds his knee in Hageshi's back. Tumbling forward, the android growls and regains his balance as Gohan gets back onto his feet. "I'm beginning to tire of this game…" Okori holds his arms at his sides with his fists clenched, and his aura flares up even higher than before, his body forced to grow with the newly accessed power. He smirks, looking over at the two of them again. "Now it's time to raise the stakes…"
Gohan trembles, raising his ki as he glares at Okori. Gokuo keeps his eyes on the android, raising his ki as well. Quietly, he utters "You can't transform Gohan…for the sake of the planet…" Gohan growls in response 'Of course I know that…but if I can't access the power, how am I supposed to beat him?' As if sensing his son's thoughts Gokuo whispers to him again. "Don't worry Gohan…everything will be fine…" Gohan nods and stops his power up at a level he knows is safe. Okori smirks wider, watching them. "Are you quite done? I haven't much patience for family moments." Gokuo narrows his eyes at the android. "You'll learn much more than patience after before this is through…" Okori laughs, his voice echoing off of the rubble surrounding them. "So Gokuo, you are over confident, we shall see what happens before this is through…" Gokuo scowls, and the two of them glare at each other. Okori holds his hand out in front of him, his palm facing down. Gokuo and Gohan brace themselves, but wait to see the results. Okori grin widely as the ground trembles and them explodes in a wave towards the two of them. Without time to dodge, the two of them get knocked off their feet and fly backwards, hitting the ground twenty feet away. Okori laughs and dashes at the two of them once again.
Yamcha sighs inwardly on his way to Capsule Corp. 'I wish I could do more to help, but I'm just not strong enough.' He looks up, seeing two ki's coming towards him at a high speed. He stops, waiting for them to approach him. Goten and Trunks stop in front of him, both of them in Super Saiyajin. Yamcha seems somewhat pleased with himself as he sees them. "You're going to go fight the androids?" Trunks nods "Yeah, we snuck off as soon as we could after the explosion." Yamcha's eyes widen "I almost forgot! Is everybody okay?" The two of them nod. "Yeah, Mrs. Bulma managed to shield the building a little." Yamcha breathes a sigh a relief. "I'll go see how things are there…you two be careful…" The two of them smile and nod. "Of course!" They rocket off again, and Yamcha watches as they go. "I hope they can be more of a help than I can…" He rockets towards Capsule Corp again, arriving shortly. As he lands, Bulma is outside. "Thank goodness, you came back…hey! You're not Trunks!" Yamcha clears his throat "Glad you noticed…" She doesn't seem too happy to see him. "Well what are you doing here? You should be out there fighting! And how'd you get here without seeing Goten and Trunks anyway?" Yamcha scratches the back of his head. " Actually, I did see them…" Bulma turns livid. "And you let them go?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Yamcha holds his arms up, truly fearing for his life at the moment. "I…I can't do what they can! I'm not strong enough! They can take care of themselves!" She folds her arms, resting them against her ribs, under her breasts. "That's just a pathetic excuse…" Yamcha blinks 'Maybe it's sexually transmitted…' She looks at him again. "Well? Aren't you going to say anything?!" without waiting for a reply, she turns around and storms into the building. Yamcha releases the breath he had been holding. "I…I'm not a Super Saiyajin…"
Piccolo gets knocked back by the force behind Kichigai's punch, even through his guard. Kichigai smirks, watching him. "Hmph, such a weak people, Namek sei-jin's… it makes me wonder how you could produce something as powerful as the dragon balls…" he says this while upper cutting Piccolo, sending him crashing through a wall. Piccolo wipes the green blood from his mouth with his nailed hand. "We're not as weak as some may think…" Kichigai laughs, and Piccolo dashes at him, crashing back through the wall. Drawing his fist back quickly, Piccolo slams his fist into Kichigai's jaw, surprising the android at the force behind it. Following up by brining his knee into the android's teeth, Piccolo then slams his elbow back into his face, causing the android to topple over. With a feral growl, Kichigai flips back onto his feet, leaning to the side and kicking Piccolo square in the chest. Flying backwards through the hole he made previously, Piccolo hits the ground with a heavy thud. Kichigai walks towards him, and Tien gets back to his feet with a loud cry, his aura flaring up orange around him. Kichigai looks over his shoulder at him. "I thought you were playing it safe…" Tien snarls as his eyes (yes all three) turn red, losing all detail. His ki radiating off of him in waves, Tien yells again, causing the air in front of him to ripple and the ground to shake with the sound waves. Kichigai arches his eyebrow, and turns to face Tien. Tien's breathing becomes heavy, and his body enlarges, taking in the newly accessed power. Kichigai frowns "Damned Cerax…he never should have merged with you…" Tien smirks, looking like wraith with his eyes glowing. "Too bad for you…" A smirk spreads across Kichigai's face. "You honestly think so?" Tien snarls and responds by jumping at the android.
Kichigai snickers, and upper cuts Tien out of the air, sending the large man backwards. Tien ricochets off the floor, dashing at the android again, grabbing his legs in both arms and forcing the android down. His head hitting the ground hard, Kichigai spits the blood that fills his mouth into Tien's face. Reaching up to wipe it off out of instinct, Kichigai swings his arms upwards, his fist making solid contact with Tien's throat. Tien gags momentarily, and stumbles back, trying to catch his breath. Kichigai spins up, his feet connecting with Tien's jaw in rapid succession. Flipping onto his feet, Kichigai fires a ki blast at Tien, which gets blasted away by a purple blast from behind. Kichigai spins around, firing another blast at Piccolo. Piccolo dodges it with a smirk, his ki flaring around him. "This is getting tiresome…" Kichigai scowls as he looks back and forth between Piccolo and Tien. Tien regains his composure and stands ready on one side of Kichigai, while Piccolo stands on the other. Kichigai develops a slow smirk and stands up straight with his arms at his sides. "Well…it seems that the game has reached stage 2. Allow me to turn up the heat…" He lifts both hands above his head, causing an explosion to spread from him in a circular motion. Piccolo and Tien shield themselves, but are sufficiently imobillized nonetheless. The smoke thins out, revealing Kichigai with his black aura flaring around him, his body enlarged from his power. Piccolo curses under his breath. 'I've gotten stronger, but I don't know if I can compete with this…' Kichigai laughs maniacally. "And now it's time for things to get interesting…"
Vegeta gets kicked backwards as Hageshi's foot connects with his chin. Trunks spins around him, lunging at Hageshi. The android grins and slams his right hand onto Trunks' head. The Saiyajin falls to the floor, and Hageshi laughs. "Oh come now…is this all that the two of you can offer?" Two ki blasts come towards his face at high speed as soon as the words leave his mouth. He glances at them, then bats them to the side. Goten and Trunks float to the ground, both of them now in Super Saiyajin level 2. Hageshi smirks, looking at them. "This game keeps getting better…" Goten and Trunks glare at him, the two of them looking quite serious now. Hageshi laughs, seeing the looks on their faces. "And just what do the two of you intend on doing?" The two of them smirk "Fu…" Hageshi arches his brow. "…sion!" Hageshi turns to face them fully interested in this now. "HA!" The two of them touch fingers, a large explosion following. Hageshi squints, his eyes taking a small moment to adjust to the light. The light subsides, and Gotenks is standing in the middle where the two kids formerly were. "Super Gotenks!" Hageshi's smirk broadens as he sees Gotenks standing there. "Ah, the fusion technique…this proves to be a most interesting part of the game. However, it won't be enough…" he holds his arms at his sides, becoming surrounded by his black ki. His body enlarges, going through the same process as his two brothers. Gotenks watches, with an arrogant smirk on his face. Hageshi snickers "That smirk will be taken clean off your face, Gotenks was it?" Gotenks nods "Don't you forget it!" Hageshi laughs "Yes, this proves to be most amusing." Trunks stands back up, and takes a few steps back, standing next to Gotenks.
Trunks and Gotenks dash at Hageshi, and the android dashes backwards, forcing them to continue forward. The two of them speed up, reaching Hageshi and drawing their fists back. The android catches both of their hands, but fails to anticipate the kicks that follow, connecting with his ribs on both sides. His grip broken on their fists, they proceed with their punches, connecting with his cheekbones on either side. Hageshi staggers back, raising his palm at the two senshi. Firing a ki blast at them, they split up, darting to either side of the beam. The beam splits, following both of them. They spin, surprised looks over taking their faces as they get hit with the beams. Hageshi disappears, reappearing behind Gotenks. He grabs the small Saiyajin fusion by the shoulders and rams his knee into his back. Gotenks yelps, tearing free of Hageshi's grip and spinning around in mid air, firing a ki blast at him. Hageshi puts his hand out, palm facing the beam, allowing it to collide into the beam. The beam trembles as it hits his hand, then disperses; it's energy raining down onto the senshi. Gotenks lands not too far away, a smirk having overtaken his face once again. Taking a deep breath, he puffs out his cheeks, and spits out a ghost. Moving his head in a semicircular motion, he spits out nine more, all of which make faces at Hageshi, trying to scare him. Hageshi laughs, seeing Gotenks' attack, and seeing Trunks land behind Gotenks. "Most amusing!" Gotenks snickers, then stands at attention, facing the ghosts. The ghosts line up, standing in a military line, carefully spaced out so they don't touch each other. "Alright everybody, sound off!" The ghosts shout out numbers from one to eight, then final two fighting over who gets to be the last one. Gotenks runs over in front of them, just as they get ready to slug each other. "Hey! What do you think your doing?!" They look up at him, then smile and line up, finishing the sound off. Gotenks stands up straight again and points at Hageshi.
"That is your target! Follow battle plan C!" The ghosts murmur amongst themselves, and number 1 looks at him puzzled. "Which plan was that?" Gotenks falls over backwards, his hand clasped to his forehead. Standing back up, Gotenks all but loses his cool. "Just get him!" The ghosts salute, then look at Hageshi again. With twisted looks of glee and playfulness on their faces, they charge at him. Hageshi smirks, watching the spectacle, and moves to guard against the ghosts. The first one reaches him, laughing as he sees Hageshi blocking. "Stupid! We'll blow up when we touch you!" Hageshi chuckles "Thanks for the warning…" he disappears and the ghosts stare wide eyed at the spot where he just was, unable to stop themselves. "We're gonna crash!" Gotenks gawks, then covers his head as the ten ghosts collide and explode. Trunks sighs and shakes his head, then stands up straight in horror, sensing Hageshi behind him. Narrowing his eyes, he spins around, aiming his fist for Hageshi's face. Gotenks looks up, and flips into the air, landing on Hageshi's head with one foot and posing. Hageshi knocks Trunks' hand away, then grabs Gotenks' foot. "Hey!" With a maniacal laugh, Gotenks throws Gotenks into Trunks, the two of them stumbling back together and falling over. Hageshi raises his left hand over his head, a black disk appearing over it. The ground begins to tremble and he looks over his shoulder Vegeta lets out a loud cry, transforming into Super Saiyajin level 4. Hageshi turns, throwing the disk at Vegeta, who ducks under it and kicks it, sending it spinning into the air. Vegeta stands up, narrowing his eyes at the android. "Play time is over…" Hageshi snickers "I beg to differ, Vegeta, we just started this game…" The two of them dash into the air, making contact periodically on their way up. Gotenks and Trunks look up at them, then charge up after them.
Okori snarls, stepping into his kick aimed at Gohan's teeth. Gohan moves his head to the side quickly, then jumps forward, punching Okori in the ribs. Gokuo drops out of the air and lands behind Okori, kicking him in the back of the head. The android flips around, firing multiple ki blasts at him, all of which explode as they hit Gokuo. Gohan reaches for his father, and gets backhanded across the jaw by Okori. Okori stands up straight, his hands radiating with black energy. Raising his arms above his head, he rockets straight up into the air. Gokuo and Gohan shake their head, getting rid of all manners of stun, and look up at him. The ground under Gokuo's feet explodes as he flies into the air, leaving a large trail of ki behind him as he charges towards Okori. Okori laughs then thrusts his hands downwards, firing a large black ki beam at him. Gokuo snarls, charging into the beam, a circular field of ki appearing around him in a large circle. The beam diverts around him, heading down towards Gohan. Gohan looks up, then thrusts his arms forward, a large golden ki beam shooting from his hand, crashing with Okori's beam. Gokuo slows down, now caught in the center of a ki battle between the two beams. He extends his arms and legs out in an 'X', letting out a loud cry. The ki field around him expands, letting out a loud 'boom' as it does so. Both beams divert, careening straight into the air. Hageshi arches an eyebrow, then dashes at Gokuo with his fist drawn back. Gohan stares up at the two of them, then rockets up to intercept Okori. Gokuo disappears as Okori reaches him, leaving the android heading towards Gohan. Gohan smirks, punching Okori in the chin quickly, using both hands in rapid succession. Okori flips over 360 degrees in the air, and brings his foot up into Gohan's chin. Gohan spits out a tooth as blood sprays from his mouth. Gohan snarls, narrowing his eyes. "You'll pay for that kisama…" Okori snickers, then appears behind him, grabbing him in a bear hug. "I'm sure I will…" Gohan growls trying to wrench himself free of the androids grasp.
Gokuo appears behind Okori, arching his leg through the air in a crescent, his foot hooking Okori's face. Okori growls, managing to keep his grip on Gohan, weathering the kick. Turning his head to the side, looking at Gokuo out of the corner of his eye, he tightens his grip on Gohan, causing the young Saiyajin to cry out in pain. Gokuo trembles momentarily, then moves his arms in blurs, his fists connecting with Okori's spine. Finally loosening his grip, Gohan slips out from Okori's arms and spins around, doing the same as his father. Okori screams angrily, then disappears, causing father and son's fists to collide. Gohan pulls his hand back, not saying anything about it, and looks around for Okori. Gokuo rockets into the air as Okori appears. Okori's eyebrows draw themselves down as he narrows his eyes at Gokuo. Gokuo swings his fist at the android, but Okori moves to the side, and slams his fist into Gokuo's jaw, sending the Saiyajin hurtling to the ground. Gohan moves to catch his father and looks up as Okori fires a black beam at the two of them. "Kuso!" The beam explodes around them, forcing them into the ground. Okori snickers, wiping sweat from his forehead. Gokuo pushes himself to his feet, and Okori glares at him. 'He should be dead by now…not to mention his annoying son…' Gokuo glares back at Okori, then disappears. Reappearing behind Okori, Gokuo slams his fist into the back of his head, then flips over and drops his heel onto Okori's back, sending the android towards the ground, where Gohan is waiting. Kicking the android in the face as he falls, Gohan moves quickly and stops Okori's fall by embedding his fist into the androids abdomen, letting out a metallic clang in the process. Okori's eyes tremble as he's thrown to the floor. Gokuo floats down next to Gohan, his eyes still on Okori. Okori gets to his feet slowly, staring at the two of them, panting. Trembling with rage, Okori throws his arms out to the sides, and explosion following his actions. Gokuo and Gohan shield their faces as Okori dashes at the two of them at break neck speed, his eyes reflecting the rage in his heart.
Kichigai's eyes glow a bright red as he charges at Piccolo. Having just began to stand up; Piccolo stares wide eyed at him. Ramming into the Namek sei-jin with his shoulder, Kichigai uses his weight and his speed to add force to the impact, sending Piccolo sprawling helplessly backwards, past Tien, who's holding his hands in a triangle in front of him. Kichigai arches an eyebrow and watches as Tien uses his Shin-kiko ho, which drains Tien when he uses it. The android takes three hesitant steps back as the light cascades around him, pain shooting through his body and at the same time blinding him. Tien uses the technique again, forcing Kichigai to one knee. Panting, Tien wipes sweat from his forehead and dashes at Kichigai before he has time to recover. Looking up just as Tien's fists make rapid contact with his face, Kichigai falls onto his back, leaving Tien to lunge after him. Kicking outward with his legs, the android sends Tien flipping through the air in an arc, ultimately sending him through the last remaining wall. Kichigai stands up and raises one hand in either direction to his left and right, firing a ki beam from each hand. The beams shoot forward, one heading for Tien, and the other heading for Piccolo. Piccolo screams angrily and swats the beam aside, Kichigai gawks at him, not knowing that Piccolo had attained so much power. Piccolo snarls, his teeth glistening in the sunlight, and powers up again, his aura blasting a crater in the ground and sending ripples of power through the air. Kichigai shields his face as the waves of energy come towards him, but they burn into him in spite of his efforts. Piccolo appears behind him, leaving the android to turn his head in surprise as he kicks his legs out from under him, and quickly sends him into the air with a follow up kick. Raising a nailed hand towards the android, Piccolo smirks as a large ki beam shoots from his hand and towards Kichigai. Kichigai rights himself in the air, and looks wide eyed at the beam shooting towards him. "Masaka!" The beam crashes into him with a tremendous force, and an enormous explosion. Piccolo ducks to the ground, covering his head as the beam explodes, and looks over at Tien, who's doing the same. The explosion subsides and Piccolo and Tien stand up, staring into the smoke as it disperses. The looks of shock on their faces cannot be concealed by any means of technology as they see Kichigai floating in the same spot he was in, with an angry look upon his face. Floating down to the ground once again, Kichigai stares straight at Piccolo. "I don't know how you got so much power at your disposal, Namek, but now it is time for me to make your soul shudder with my might…" Piccolo shakes his head, getting rid of the shocked look on his face and replacing it with a look of anger and hatred. Tien takes his place beside Piccolo as Kichigai bears down on the two of them.
Jumping to either side of the charging android, Tien and Piccolo both spin around in the air and fire ki beams. Kichigai disappears, leaving the beams to explode on the ground. Searching for the android, they fail to notice the orb of power swelling up in the crater from Piccolo's power up. They two of them look over at the orb at the same time, and fire ki beams into it. The orb absorbs their ki and grows in size. Kichigai floats up out of the crater, holding the growing orb above his head in his right hand. "I have no more time for you…" Kichigai hurls the ball at the two of them at high speed, leaving them little time to dodge. The two of them look at each other and nod, then simultaneously charge into the orb with their hands radiating with their own ki. Kichigai watches as they do so, and begins laughing. His laughing is cut short when the ball is pushed back towards him and explodes. The explosion shakes the entire area, all three fighters being caught in its merciless path. The explosion expands greatly before finally dispersing into smoke, which lingers only momentarily as the wind picks up. The smoke clears, revealing Tien, Piccolo, and Kichigai all sprawled out on the ground. Kichigai trembles as he attempts to stand, but falls back down. Piccolo's eyes are shut, and his breathing is heavy as green blood flows from his mouth and his side. There's a large hole in his right shoulder, which is currently being filled by a sharp rock. Tien lays face down on the ground, blood filling in a pool under him, however his body still trembles up and down with his shaky breath. Kichigai coughs out a spray of blood as his head falls onto a pile of rubble underneath him. "Kuso…"
The senshi all look to the side as a huge explosion rocks the area. Vegeta shakes his head, paying no further attention to it, and looks back at Hageshi. Hageshi's eyes are already back on him as well, and the two of them begin trading blows once again. Trunks and Gotenks continue to watch the spectacle. "That's where Tien and Piccolo were fighting…" Gotenks nods his head slowly. "Yeah, but we have no time to help them…" Trunks nods and dashes back at Hageshi. Hageshi looks at the Mirai Saiyajin coming towards him and greets him with an axe kick to the back of his neck. Trunks falls to the ground, and flips off it, coming back towards Hageshi. Hageshi, having his hands full with Vegeta, gets pummelled by the two Saiyajins. Gotenks floats in the air behind and above him, smirking. "Super Gotenks' Shine Shine Missile!" Gotenks moves his hands back and forth, firing hundreds of little ki blasts towards Hageshi. Vegeta and Trunks dart to the side as the blasts hit Hageshi, and the android screams in rage. Gotenks stops and rubs his chin with an arrogant smile. Vegeta scowls, and dashes back towards where Hageshi was in the smoke, and doesn't find him. "Kuso…" Vegeta looks up as Hageshi appears behind Gotenks and backhands him in the back of the head, causing the young fusion to fall to the floor, and split apart into Goten and Trunks. Mirai no Trunks holds his hands out towards Hageshi, firing his burning attack. Hageshi darts to the side evading the beam, and flies right into Vegeta's awaiting arms. The Saiyajin Prince embeds his knee into Hageshi's side, causing the android to growl and grabs his wrist. Flipping Vegeta over his back, Hageshi fires a ki ball into Vegeta's chest, which carries him across the lot before it finally explodes. Mirai no Trunks trembles with rage as his aura flares up to impossible heights. Hageshi blinks as Trunks appears immediately in front of him and uses a technique unknown to the android.
An impossibly large orb of white ki surrounds Hageshi and Mirai no Trunks, and spreads outwards, enveloping Vegeta and the two chibi Saiyajins as well. The orb explodes, leaving the senshi to scream in pain. Vegeta curses under his breath as he dashes over to Goten and Trunks, shielding them from any further pain. 'I'm going soft' he thinks as another waves of pain hits him. Mirai no Trunks falls to the ground amidst his own attack, leaving Hageshi in the air in shock. Hageshi's left arm begins to burn of in small pieces, and finally disintegrates completely. The white orb disappears as Mirai no Trunks loses consciousness. Hageshi floats down to the ground slowly, staring gape mouthed at the Z Senshi before him. Taking one step forward, Hageshi falls onto his face. Trunks' eyes flutter open, and he sees his father over his and Goten, bleeding from several unseen wounds, several of them internal. He smiles to himself, then passes out again. Vegeta rolls onto his side, breathing heavily. "K…kuso… what the hell was that?" Vegeta's eyes roll up in his head momentarily as he fights for consciousness. He looks over at Goten and Trunks next to him, half dead, and then looks over to Mirai no Trunks, who's not too far away. His head swimming and his mind threatening to shut down, he looks at Hageshi, seeing the android lying in a pool of blood with his left arm missing. He snickers, which forces blood out of his mouth and causes him to cough. 'Kuso…' Vegeta's head lolls back and his eyes force themselves shut. The five of them lay unconscious on the field of battle, blood around each of them.
The sky, now dark with smoke and clouds, shudders violently at the fighting on the ground. Lightning strikes in the distance, and rain begins to fall in torrents. Not caring about the weather, Gokuo and Gohan both grab Okori and fly with him towards the ground. Letting go at the last moment, they stop in the air, sending the android headfirst into the earth. Oblivious to the fact that the rest of the fighting has come to a stop, the three of them continue. Okori jumps to his feet as Gohan lands next to him. The two of them trade blows and Okori smirks as he catches Gohan's arm and pulls him towards him. Caught off guard, Gohan stumbles forward. Okori yells loudly and thrusts his fist into Gohan's abdomen, which penetrates his flesh and comes out the other side of his body. Lightning strikes again, highlighting the features of the two of them. Gokuo's face contorts with rage and he dashes at Okori, leaving streaks behind him. Okori withdraws his fist and Gohan drops to the ground, blood gushing from the hole in his stomach, and trickling from his mouth. Gokuo reaches Okori and begins attacking him relentlessly. Okori, wide eyed at the rage of Gokuo, does his best to block. Circumventing the androids guard, Gokuo slams his fist into the side of Okori's head. The android spins from the impact, and then gets Gokuo's heel dropped onto his spine. Falling to the ground Okori spits out blood. Gokuo holds his hands at his sides, creating a ki ball between them. Okori jumps to his feet and flips around, landing behind Gokuo and pushing him upwards with tremendous strength. Gokuo loses the ki he was powering up and spins around to face Okori. The two of them stare at each other, each with a respective amount of hatred for the other. "You bastard…you'll pay for what you've done to my son…" Okori smirks. "If it means so much to you, I'll send you to meet him…" Gokuo's face begins to twitch and his power explodes around him violently. Okori watches wide eyed and gape mouthed as Gokuo's aura flares up and envelops him.
Okori's eyes radiate with energy, some of which spills outwards. He holds his hands at his sides with his fists clenched. His aura radiates black around him, contesting with Gokuo's aura. His own aura explodes around him, growing greatly. The two senshi's aura's contest with the other's, growing greatly. Gokuo screams angrily, and Okori's aura shatters, the energy in it coming down with the rain. Gokuo holds his arms at his sides, forming a ki ball between them once again. Okori holds his arms over his head, his hands radiating black with his ki. The two of them begin collecting energy, the power stored up in their arms amassing to an extreme high. Sweeping his arms forward, Gokuo fires his Kamehameha with a loud yell, as Okori thrusts his arms forward, firing a large black beam to meet it. The beams collide, creating violent feedback from the point of collision. Lightning strikes the beams as they contest one another. The beams double in size as each fighter pours more energy into their attack. With ki radiating off of the beams themselves, they continue pushing each other back and forth. The clouds above Gokuo and Okori begin to swirl together in a turbulent vortex. Lightning shoots down from the clouds and strikes the beams once again, causing the two warriors to strain, as it seems that nature itself is intervening in the battle. The beams explode oddly, the energy of the two warriors mixing into an amalgam of ki. The explosion from the amalgamated ki envelops the two warriors, and spreads, enveloping also the rest of the senshi around them. A crater forms under the explosion, deepening ad widening, taking in the fighters from the surrounding area's as well. The rain falls more violently as Gokuo lay with his back against a large rock. The three androids lay in the crater as well as the Z Senshi. All of them lay unconscious, Gokuo, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Tien, and Mirai no Trunks. The fist size hole off-center in Gohan's abdomen continues to bleed profusely. The rain begins to slowly fill the crater, a pool of water forming at the bottom. The pool isn't simply water…it's mixed with blood…
TO BE CONCLUDED
The early morning light glints off of Hageshi's eye. He looks around, the view from the high cliff overlooking the sea would be breath taking, if he cared enough to think about it as a sight, and not as a strategic battle point. But no…he doesn't care much for it at all; instead he turns around, the 'RR' tattoo on his right arm seemingly shining in the light of the sun. "Okori, is Kichigai awake yet? I'm anxious to tear into Son Gokuo and the rest of the Z Senshi." He snarls, the style of which could rival even Vegeta's. Okori snickers sinisterly, the android knowing exactly how his brother felt. "Don't worry brother, he's awake. His enthusiasm reflects our own, but we have to oversee the final stages of Dr. Gero's final project." Hageshi frowns. "Hell if I care about that project. Dr. Gero was a fool for even starting it. I can't understand why he even wants to have one of THEM exact his vengeance…." Okori laughs "Again, I know how you feel, my brother, but let's do it anyway. Then at least after we get rid of those annoying Z Senshi we'll still be able to have some fun." Hageshi grins broadly, a look of sadistic glee in his eye. The two androids stood on the cliff, looking out over the sea as the waves crashed against the bottom of the cliff noisily. The wind begins to speed up, causing the red sashes on their waists to tussle to the side. Kichigai steps outside and stands next to them and none of them say a word.
The three androids look extremely militant in their clothes, which are all the same. The red sashes, the jet-black pants that billowed in the wind, the black chains that were draped from their right shoulders to the left side of their waist. There were unique features on each of them however. The rift side of Hageshi's face was entirely metal with a glowing red eye, as was his left arm up to and including his shoulder. His black hair was tied back tightly into a small braid that hung down to his lower back. Okori's abdomen was the same way, all metallic. No flesh, no skin, simply metal. His hair falls limp, looking much like Trunks' hair save for the fact that it was black. Kichigai stood apart from them both. His hair was a shining silver, not uniformly black, and fell down past his shoulders without brace of braid or ponytail. Both of his arms were metal, like Hageshi's, except his hands, which were by some miracle made of flesh. Like all other androids before them, they had the same eyes. Those cold, ruthless eyes that were remembered always by Mirai no Trunks. All of them had the same 'RR' tattoo on their right arms, where Kichigai's seem to have been etched in with fine skill and precaution. The same cold stare and blank expressions greeted any that would look, but those expressions would give way to an arrogant smirk, a sneer, or a snarl. The three of them remained unmoving and silent, looking out over the water. One might be better off calling them cyborgs, rather than androids. A fiery red light flashes from within, followed by an infant's cries. Without a word, the three of them rocketed into the sky; each surrounded by black ki.
Vegeta stares across the blazing emptiness of the desert determined to make himself the strongest Saiyajin once again. 'Damn you Kakorotto…how is it that every time I manage to catch up to you, you advance?' Vegeta trembles with rage and power, concentrating on raising his ki. His aura flares to life around him, causing the loose rocks in the desert to jump as the ground shakes. A crater spread outwards from his feet, and his hair changes gold and grows long. Standing in all the glory of Super Saiyajin level 3, Vegeta yells at the top of his lungs, prompting an explosion of ki. Standing amidst the smoke, Vegeta looks down at his hands. 'The fights with the previous androids gave me significant new power, but not nearly as much as Kakorotto…' he clenches his fists '...but I'll be damned before I allow that pathetic low class soldier to remain my superior!' He flies upwards, out of the smoke, and immediately looks in front of him. Seeing three shadowy shapes before him, he curses himself silently for being too preoccupied to have sensed them coming. He bares his teeth, and without saying anything else, he screams out a battle cry, charging straight at the three androids with his fist drawn back. There's a flash of red light, blinding him, and lighting the entire area. Vegeta suddenly finds himself out of breath, and no longer able to maintain his transformed state. "K…k…kuso…" His eyes slide closed and he falls downwards, hitting the ground with a loud crash. The three androids can be heard laughing maniacally and the float down to the ground beside Vegeta. Vegeta lay inside the crater he made earlier, his breathing coming in short drawn-out breaths. Hageshi smirks "The Saiyajin Prince, Vegeta…what a fitting way to introduce our presence into the world." Hageshi raises his hand above his head, his fist radiating with black waves of energy. Kichigai grabs his arm "No…let him live. It'll prove most amusing having him seek revenge on us." Hageshi lowers his arm, his fist returning to normal. "Very well…I will spare him for now, but I get him later on. Agreed?" Kichigai smiles wildly, his face more than likely very disturbing to any who might be watching other than his brothers. "Of course, my brother." Hageshi smirks and the three of them become enveloped in black ki once again. They take off into the sky, leaving Vegeta just as he manages to open his eyes again.
Vegeta sits up, coughing slightly. "It's seems the time of training has expired…" he smirks "Little do they know that they've just given me more power…" He thinks for a moment, then stands up to his feet, a bit wobbly. "No…they know, it would appear that they don't care. Well, more is the pity for them; they should have finished me while I was down. These androids are becoming pathetic…" He smiles arrogantly, but knows somewhere deep inside of him that he was extremely lucky to be alive at the moment. "Well…unless they get to him first, I suppose I should tell Kakorotto…that bastard, forcing me to rely upon him…" He becomes surrounded by gold ki and rockets into the sky, in the same general direction of the androids.
Gokuo looks over his shoulder, a frustrated look on his face. 'Where'd he go?' His eyes scan around the vastness of the plateau. He senses a twinge of power and jumps to the side, just as Tien comes crashing into the ground, his fist creating a rather large hole. Gokuo kicks outwards with his right leg, balancing his hands on the ground as he does so. His foot connects with the back of Tien's knees, forcing him to the ground. With his leg still in motion from the sweep, Gokuo handsprings off the ground, flipping away from his sparring partner. Tien comes back up to his feet, with a smirk on his face. "It's almost like it was when you were a little kid, eh Gokuo?" A slow grin crosses Gokuo's face. "Almost, but not quite. Back then there wasn't nearly as much power between us. And besides, you're still not stronger than I am." Tien chuckles "I never claimed to be, now let's get on with it." Gokuo nods and the two of them dash forward, colliding into each other with a loud crash. As they trade blows, the two of them float upwards inside a pillar of swirling wind. Gokuo breaks the pattern, connecting with Tien's jaw with his fist, then quickly connecting his abdomen with his knee. Following his momentum, he interlaces his fingers above his head, then slams them onto Tien's back, sending the large man towards the ground. Tien flips around, landing on his feet, and looks back up at Gokuo, all three of his eyes looking as if they're trying to force themselves shut. Gokuo floats down beside him. "I think that's enough for now, eh?" Tien smiles "Thanks…" Gokuo grins and pats Tien on the back, causing him to fall over. Gokuo blinks, then scratches the back of his head with an idiotic grin on his face. "Guess I overdid it…"
He helps Tien to his feet, just as Vegeta flies onto the plateau and stops short next to them. As he stops, he catches his breath, something quite unusual for any of the Z Senshi. Vegeta coughs then looks up at Gokuo. "There's three more of them…" Gokuo looks shocked. "Already?! It's only been two months!" Vegeta nods, his usual frown still managing to be on his face. "They don't seem to care too much about our schedule, Kakorotto…I know I wouldn't if I were in their position. The question is, how did they manage to get so much stronger in just two months?" Gokuo's expression changes, his serious look coming over his face. "What do you mean? What happened?" Vegeta clenches his fist, looking down with a snarl. "Those bastards took me by surprise and somehow put me down without me even knowing what happened…" Gokuo's face shifts into a shocked expression once again. Both shocked that these androids were that powerful, and that Vegeta would admit to it. "Come on…we have to get everybody else. We can't make a stand against them by ourselves…Tien, go get Gohan and Trunks, they should be at Capsule Corp. Vegeta, go see if you can find Piccolo…" Vegeta glares at him. "What benefit can that pointy eared Namekian provide?" Gokuo frowns "I'm not in the mood to argue right now Vegeta…just do it. And I don't want to hear anything about how you won't take any orders from a low class Saiyajin warrior. Just do it!" Vegeta smirks, snickering "Alright, Kakorotto…you can play leader this time, but don't think I'll forget it…" with that, Vegeta becomes enveloped in golden ki and takes off in search of Piccolo. Tien looks at Gokuo, with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you going to do?" Gokuo snarls, looking much like Vegeta, enough even to put the Prince of Saiyajins to shame. "I'm going to go make a first impression…" The words barely out of his mouth, Gokuo's aura blasts into existence, flaring up around him as he suddenly transforms into Super Saiyajin level 4, leaving Tien to cover his face. Tien reaches for him, but Gokuo rockets into the sky, leaving a blazing trail of ki behind him as he goes and a crater on the ground where he was just standing. Tien sighs then becomes surrounded by his aura, taking off for Capsule Corp.
A short time later, Hageshi, Kichigai, and Okori land on the side of a highway running through Sattan City. As the air cars blaze past them, Hageshi's robotic eye glints in the light. He smirks. "The fools…they don't even know the happenings of this planet... none of them that matter, at any rate. It almost makes me feel pity for Son Gokuo that none of them know that he is their true hero." Okori laughs. "If one can feel pity for one's enemy, I suppose that would be a reason to pity Son Gokuo. If only they'd known that it was Son Gohan that killed Cell, this city would be named for him, not that pathetic creature Mr. Sattan…" Kichigai smirks "Well maybe if Mr. Sattan wants to claim victory over us, we should give him the opportunity to do so." Hageshi laughs "That pitiful excuse for living organism?" Okori tilts his head to the side with a smirk "Don't you mean 'Pitiful excuse for a man'?" Hageshi's smirk widens "I would say so, but that thing is too pathetic too even be called human." The three of them laugh, and turn their attentions back to the highway before them. Kichigai arches on of his eyebrows, watching as people slow down and stare at them as they drive past. "We seem to be drawing attention…" The other two androids look, and Hageshi smirks. "Then by all means, let's attract more…" He floats into the air, watched by his brothers and causing more people to stare. He smirks, raising his arm over his head. "Such stupid creatures…and so weak…" A black ki ball appears above his open palm, radiating with energy and spinning around endlessly. With a maniacal laugh, he tosses the ball at the center of the highway, which explodes when it comes into contact with the ki ball. Cars on the highway in front of the new hole swerve, the drivers jamming on their breaks, but ultimately falling through the gap anyway. Traffic quickly piles up causing several accidents. Hageshi continues laughing as the screams cut through the air and the smoke billows into the sky. The android floats back down, and Kichigai sighs. "You could have at least made it slow…the people caught in the explosion died almost immediately." Hageshi smirks. "Then next time, you can handle it." Kichigai grins "With pleasure…" The three of them float into the air once again and leave the scene.
…At the same time at Capsule Corporation…
Tien lands outside the Capsule Corporation Building, and dashes inside, the door nearly coming off its hinges as he slams it open. "Gohan! Trunks! Where are you?!" Dr. Briefs walks up, with Scratch hanging off his shoulder staring blankly at Tien. "What's the problem, son?" Tien turns to Dr. Briefs "Where's Gohan and Trunks? We have a problem." Dr. Briefs blinks and scratches his head. "I think they're in the gravity chamber…but, hey! What's your hurry?" The last part he says as Tien darts out the door again, heading for the gravity chamber outside. Tien ignores him 'Sorry, ouji-san, but we don't have time for small talk…' He reaches the chamber and hits the panel, opening the door and stepping inside. Gohan, Mirai no Trunks, Goten, and Trunks slam into the ceiling then fall to the floor as he opens the door and the gravity machine shuts itself off. Tien rubs the back of his head. "Sorry about that…" Gohan picks himself up, looking over at Tien. "It's alright…so what's up?" Tien's expression quickly changes from being sorry to being serious. "There's trouble, three more androids have come." Mirai no Trunks takes a few steps forward. "Where are they?!" Tien opens his mouth to respond when a highway across the city explodes. "I think that's the answer you needed…" Mirai no Trunks nods and starts out the door, but Gohan catches his shoulder. "We have to wait for my father…" Tien clears his throat. "Gokuo should be right behind them…" Gohan looks up, then nods. "Then let's go…" Goten and Trunks jump up, their fists clenched "Can we come too?" they say in unison. Gohan looks over his shoulder at them "Absolutely not…and I don't want to catch you following us…" The two of them groan, and go over to converse with themselves. Gohan narrows his eyes at them. "And don't start plotting anything either!" The two of them look up at him with innocent looks on their faces. Gohan sighs and shakes his head and steps outside, followed by Tien and Mirai no Trunks. The three of them blaze off into the sky, towards the highway.
As soon as the three of them are out of sight, Goten and Trunks come running out of the gravity chamber. Trunks turns to Goten, with a smirk on his face, obviously inherited from his father. "Goten! As soon as they won't expect it, let's go!" Goten beams brightly "Your so smart Trunks!" Trunks grins and turns to the side, flicking his hair with his little hand. "Of course I am!"
Gokuo stops short in the air over the highway, smoke billowing up beside him. He stares down at the hole in highway and clenches his fists. He looks around, knowing that the androids are still somewhere nearby. 'Where the hell did those bastards go?' He turns his head to the side, looking atop a nearby building, seeing three figures on top of it, with their backs to him. 'Either their fools, or they don't care that's I'm here…but I just can't assume that their fools…' His eyes dart to the right of the building, where he sees three aura's in the distance, coming closer. He grins. 'They're too busy concentrating on them that they haven't noticed me…' The Saiyajin smirks again, in this state making him look very much like a demon. He flicks his tail back and forth, floating in the air with his arms straight down and his fists clenched. 'I'll use that to my advantage…' He disappears, vertical streaks appearing where he just was. Travelling through a mottled sky, he appears right behind the three androids, ending his use of the shinkan idou. Knowing that only a blind, deaf, idiot wouldn't be able to sense him now, he waits there. Keeping himself ready to defend. The three androids turn around suddenly, looks of shock on all their faces that cannot be hidden. The shocked expressions change to trademark smirks for all of them, and Hageshi turns his head to the side and slightly downwards, with his eyes closed. With open palms, he extends his arms forward, his elbows resting on his ribs, in an odd shrug. "It would seem that we underestimated you already, Son Gokuo." He turns his head back up, looking straight into Gokuo's eyes with a smirk on his face once again. "But that's not a problem, is it?" Gokuo narrows his eyes, and visibly trembles with rage. Okori laughs, "You seem to have hit a nerve, Hageshi. Just look, he's living up to my name-sake for me." (For those who don't know, Hageshi means fury, Okori means rage, and Kichigai means insane. Just a quick Japanese lesson ^_^) Hageshi snickers. "So it would seem brother…but that's all the better for us, we get to have more fun."
The three of them disappear, reappearing quickly on three sides of Gokuo. Gokuo remains fades out of view, and the three of them look up, cursing themselves for falling for the after image. Gokuo's fist slams into Hageshi's face, while a second later his foot crashes into Kichigai's neck. Okori's elbow embeds itself in his abdomen, with no little amount of force, and the android pushes Gokuo forward. Coughing, Gokuo glares back at the three of them. The three of them laugh, folding their arms over their chests. Using a move previously used by 17 and 18; the three of them line up, none of them visible behind Hageshi. They dash towards Gokuo, and the Saiyajin flies forward with his leg out, kicking Hageshi in the gut and sending him colliding into Okori behind him. Kichigai manages to vault over his two brothers, and punches Gokuo in the side of the head, his arm continuing to swing after it hits and pushing the Saiyajin to the side, causing him to spin around once. Hageshi growls, grabbing Gokuo by the neck. Gokuo holds his hand against Hageshi's chest, and fires a ki beam into it. Okori avoids colliding into his brother again as he's blasted back and joins Kichigai in an assault on Gokuo. Gokuo, moving his arms to block, as well as moving his body to dodge, does his best to force the androids into a stalemate. Okori smirks and kicks through Gokuo's guard as Kichigai draws his arm back, creating an orb of ki around his fist. Gokuo cries out in pain as the beam explodes in front of him, blinding him momentarily as well as damaging him. The three androids reassemble and prepare to dash at him again, when Tien, Gohan, and Mirai no Trunks arrive, and stop in the air before Gokuo. The androids smirk widely, Kichigai snickering. "Looks like the gang's all here…wait no…we're missing Vegeta. What a pity…" Gokuo regains his composure and floats beside the other three senshi. "You bastards…you know why he isn't here…" Okori laughs. "I don't have the slightest idea what you mean, Son Gokuo…" Gokuo narrows his eyes. "At any rate, we can't stay here…the city will get destroyed, and too many people will get hurt…" Hageshi looks around, observing the city. "You're right…a city is no place to fight…" He shifts his eyes to Kichigai and the latter android smirks. "With pleasure…" The android blazes into the air, spinning around. Gohan darts after him, but the android holds both arms over his head, radiating with black energy. The android finally stops, flipping over, hovering upside down as he fires a large black beam towards the ground, which darts past Gohan and the rest of the senshi below him. Gohan watches the beam, wide eyed. "Kuso!" He flies down, trying to get ahead of the beam, but stops when he realises that he can't. "Kuso! You bastard!" Gohan's aura flares up as the beam hits the ground, causing a huge explosion to swell up. Hundreds of screams are heard as the explosion overtakes people and destroys everything in the surrounding area. Secondary explosions follow as Gohan charges towards Kichigai with a look of fury in his eyes. Kichigai grins maniacally and greets the charging Saiyajin with his fist.
Vegeta flies over the earth, watching the landscape change from desert to forest. His eyes are earthward as he searches for Piccolo. Sensing a power down below, he flies down through the trees and looks around. Seeing a fire with a deer roasting over it, he looks around again, wondering who it was that he felt, knowing that Piccolo doesn't eat. He looks to his left, hearing something. He walks in the direction, finding Yamcha sleeping behind a rock, whimpering in his sleep. Vegeta turns around, arms folded across his chest, prepared to leave. Yamcha shifts in his sleep "Oh Bulma…" Vegeta stops, and turns around. He draws his foot back and kicks Yamcha in the ribs, waking him up quite painfully. Yamcha jumps up, holding his side, staring at Vegeta. "V…Vegeta! What are you doing out here?" Vegeta growls "What are you doing out here talking about my wife in your sleep?!" A sweat drop forms over Yamcha's head. "Dear Kami, don't kill me!" Vegeta turns around, looking over his shoulder at Yamcha. "Hmph…you're too weak, there's no sport in it. And for your information, I was looking for Piccolo." Yamcha breathes a sigh of relief when Vegeta changes the subject. "Piccolo? I think he was by the mountains…why are you looking for him?" Vegeta snickers "Kakorotto wanted me to get him to help fight the androids." Yamcha jumps "Androids?! Well…I hope you find him…nice to see you again Vegeta…" Vegeta laughs. "You're so pathetic, I could always see why Bulma preferred me to you." Yamcha scowls, not too happy about that comment. "I'll help you find him…" Vegeta laughs again "Perfect, we've aquired more bait. Follow if you can, weakling." Vegeta rockets into the air, headed towards the mountains. Yamcha shudders, thinking of the androids, then follows Vegeta.
Vegeta lands by the foot of the mountain, Yamcha arriving half a minute later. Vegeta smirks, not saying anything, and begins looking for Piccolo. Yamcha heads off in one direction, leaving Vegeta. A white cape flutters on a cliff in above Vegeta, and he looks up at the Namekian standing with his arms crossed in an arrogant stance. Vegeta snickers, floating up in front of Piccolo. "What do you want, Vegeta?" Vegeta smirks "I don't want anything from you, but Kakorotto thought you might make some difference against the androids." Piccolo narrows his eyes at Vegeta; not looking surprised at all by the mention of androids. Yamcha floats up beside Piccolo, still holding his side. Piccolo glares at Vegeta "Lead the way Vegeta…" Vegeta snickers again and flies back towards Sattan City. Piccolo follows him closely, and Yamcha trails behind the two of them.
Gohan wipes the blood from his mouth, and looks back up at Kichigai. The android smirks and floats past him to rejoin his brothers. Gohan narrows his eyes "Bastard…" He floats back down next to his father, and the seven of them stare at each other, their eyes deadlocked. The smirks on the android's faces are reflected by the scowls of the Z Senshi. No longer able to contain himself, Mirai no Trunk raises his ki level quickly, his aura blasting against everybody as he turns Super Saiyajin 2. Hageshi snickers at him "A nice trick, boy, but not nearly enough. And you might as well take that armor off, it does no good…you too Son Gohan." Trunks growls, not even realising he was still wearing the armor from when they were in the gravity chamber. Okori looks at Gohan, with his head tilted to the side slightly. "What about you? Aren't you going to turn into a Super Saiyajin as well?" A slow smile crosses Gohan's lips "I don't think you'd like that…" Okori arches an eyebrow "Oh? And why is that, exactly?" Gohan chuckles and remains silent. Okori frowns "I asked you a question…" Gohan's grin broadens, enjoying pissing the android off. "I heard you, but I just didn't find it suitable to respond. I can't stand talking to machine's you know." Okori smirks "You amuse, Son Gohan, it's a shame that we're going to have to kill you." As if on cue, the three androids float to the ground, quickly followed by the four Z Senshi. Touching foot on the ground, the three androids move in unison, shifting their weight onto their back leg, standing side ways. Gokuo's tail twitches back and forth and he puts himself lower to the ground, taking his fighting stance. The rest of them follow suit, but still they all remain unmoving. A wall nearby, unable to remain standing under it's own power, slides off it's foundation and crashes to the ground. As if the gunshot was sounded starting a race, the seven senshi dash at each other, Gokuo and Hageshi fighting each other, Mirai no Trunks and Tien taking Okori, and Gohan taking Kichigai. The seven of them spread out, their respective partners with them, locked in combat.
The androids take the upper hand, almost simultaneously. Hageshi kicks Gokuo backwards, as Okori runs between Mirai no Trunks and Tien with his arms to the sides and catches them by the throats. Kichigai ducks then lunges forward, taking Gohan off his feet. The Z Senshi wind up back to back in the center of the androids. The androids raise their hands at them, each firing a ki beam towards the group. The four of them scatter, and the beams hit the ground, exploding and exposing a water pipe, causing steam to shoot up out of the crater. The androids dart to the side, following the senshi's movements. The androids stop short, finding only each other within the steam. Hageshi growls "You can't stay hidden!" As if called by Hageshi's yelling, Gokuo cuts through the steam and spins around, whipping his foot around and catching Hageshi in the back of the head. The android stumbles forward, and his two brothers dash at Gokuo. The Saiyajin goes on defense, being pushed back by their assault. Gohan flies into Kichigai and at the same time, Tien flies into Okori. The androids are pushed to the ground, but only momentarily, as they spin back to their feet and lash out at the two with their ki. Tien gets blasted backwards by the attack, flying backwards through the steam and crashing into an overturned and flaming truck. Mirai no Trunks fades into view behind Okori, bringing his foot up towards the androids head. Sensing the coming attack, Okori ducks and kicks outwards, tripping Trunks. Jumping back to his feet, Okori backflips onto Trunks, his hands coming to a rest on the Saiyajins back. He remains in a handstand on his back until he fires ki from his hands and bounces off. Trunks screams in pain and Okori simply smirks. "You have no idea how powerful we truly are…" Gokuo grabs Okori from behind. "Neither do you…" Okori snickers then flips Gokuo over his shoulders. "Son Gokuo, it's only beginning…"
Gokuo stands back up, and the senshi regroup. The androids line up once again, their arms crossed over their chests, the arrogant smirks one their faces somewhat livelier than before. Gokuo narrows his eyes, watching them. 'Kuso…they're more powerful than I thought…' The androids break his train of thought as they charge at the senshi once again. Getting knocked to the floor by one crushing blow from Kichigai, Tien attempts to push himself back up, but the android kicks him into the air, sending him into a building and dashing after him. Gohan pushes Trunks out of the way as Hageshi barrels past them. The two half Saiyajins dash towards what used to be a parking lot with a fence around it. Gokuo and Okori square off right there, trading blows back and forth, the balance of power between them teetering in either direction every now and again. Okori smirks as he kicks Gokuo's legs out from under him, then smashes him in the back of the neck with his elbow. The smirk is quickly wiped off his face as Gokuo handsprings off the ground and kicks him in the chin with both feet. The android stumbles, taking a few steps back. The two of them glare at each other, then collide once again.
Blood sprays from Tien's mouth as Kichigai's head connects with his. The android, relentless, proceeds to elbow him in the jaw. Tien crashes through the wall behind him, tumbling over and braces himself on the floor. Kichigai smirks and jumps towards him. Tien rolls to the side, and Kichigai's knee smashes through the ground where he just was. Tien spins off the floor, snapping his leg around and connecting with the androids face, dead center. Kichigai's head snaps back, and blood trickles from his nose. Tien narrows his eyes, knowing that he can't stop, even for a second, and fires a ki beam at the android, which explodes on contact. Tien jumps into the explosion, and his fist slices through nothing but air. 'Kuso…' Kichigai's shoulder rams into him from behind, sending him to the floor once again. The android laughs and slams his fist into Tien's back, kneeling down as he delivers the blow. Tien let's out a cry as the pain shoots up his spine. The android stands up, and raises his hand above his head. A purple ki beam crashes into his back, and he spins around, a murderous look in his eyes. Piccolo lands a short way in front of him, and throws his cape and turban to the side. Kichigai smirks "Ah, the mighty Piccolo…still think you can make a difference?" Piccolo stares at the android, his face expressionless. "Enough talk…" Kichigai laughs again, and charges at the Namek sei-jin.
Gohan and Mirai no Trunks stop short and turn around, skidding for a moment on the pavement. Hageshi jumps at Trunks and kicks him in the chest, sending him back into a car. Gohan curses silently, not realising that the android was right behind them. Without further hesitation, Gohan leaps at Hageshi, his foot connecting with the side of the androids head, forcing him to stagger. Hageshi spins around to face him, bringing his fist towards Gohan's abdomen. Gohan turns his body to the side, grabbing the androids arm and spinning, using his attack as leverage to flip him. Slamming his foot onto the androids throat with his left foot and forcing his weight down, Gohan kicks the androids face with his right foot, blood spraying from the androids mouth in the process. Hageshi growls, grabbing Gohan's foot and pushing him off. Gohan flips over, managing to land on his feet. Hageshi is there to meet him as he does, upper cutting him in the chin. Gohan flips over again, this time landing flat on the ground. Trunks' aura flares up, and Hageshi looks sidelong at him. Trunks dashes at him, unleashing a barrage against him. Hageshi moves out of the way, dodging his assault with a graceful ease. This enrages Trunks further, and his aura flares up further as he makes the jump from Super Saiyajin level 2 to level 3. Hageshi arches his eyebrow and smirks as he catches Trunks' fist. "Such a shame…" He moves his free hand towards Trunks' ribs, but the enraged Saiyajin catches his fist as well. The two of them struggle, and Trunks is forced to one knee. A white booted foot crashes into Hageshi's face from the side, breaking the confrontation. Hageshi stands up to his full height once again, looking over towards the source of the kick. Vegeta scowls at him. "Hands off my son…" Hageshi laughs, prompting a snarl from Vegeta. Trunks looks over at Gohan, who's standing next to Yamcha. 'Looks like the backup has arrived…but is it enough?' Vegeta looks at Trunks, and Trunks nods. The two of them dash at Hageshi, and the android continues to laugh as he dodges their combined attacks.
Yamcha looks Gohan over. "Are you sure you're okay?" Gohan nods, wiping blood off his mouth. "Yeah, I'm fine, go check on Tien." Yamcha nods "Piccolo's helping him." Gohan snarls "Then do something constructive!" Yamcha blinks as Gohan dashes over to assist his father. Yamcha looks around 'Constructive? Right…' He surrounds himself with ki and flies off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
Gokuo grabs Okori by his arms and flips over, his feet catching the android in the chin, while twisting his arms around. Okori pulls his arms away from Gokuo's grip, and rubs his chin. The android yells loudly, followed by an explosion as his black aura envelops him. Gokuo dashes at him, his own aura flaring up higher. The two of them disappear, reappearing for moments at a time, fighting too fast for normal eyes to follow. Gohan stops short, watching the spectacle before him, his eyes darting back and forth to follow the movements of the two fighters. He narrows his eyes, then disappears as well. Gohan joins in the combat, able to see his father and Okori now that he's matched their speed. The three of them fight while the area around them seems to be moving in slow motion. Gokuo's and Gohan's punches fall in time with one another, as Okori is forced to block now from two sides. Okori grabs both of their arms as they punch at him, flipping around at high speed, and releases them, sending them into the ground. The area returns to its normal speed in their eyes, and Okori stands over the two of them. Grabbing Gohan by the throat and lifting him into the air, Hageshi whips his fist forward, only to have it caught by Gokuo from behind. The android looks back at him, obviously surprised, and loses his grip on Gohan as Gokuo embeds his knee in Hageshi's back. Tumbling forward, the android growls and regains his balance as Gohan gets back onto his feet. "I'm beginning to tire of this game…" Okori holds his arms at his sides with his fists clenched, and his aura flares up even higher than before, his body forced to grow with the newly accessed power. He smirks, looking over at the two of them again. "Now it's time to raise the stakes…"
Gohan trembles, raising his ki as he glares at Okori. Gokuo keeps his eyes on the android, raising his ki as well. Quietly, he utters "You can't transform Gohan…for the sake of the planet…" Gohan growls in response 'Of course I know that…but if I can't access the power, how am I supposed to beat him?' As if sensing his son's thoughts Gokuo whispers to him again. "Don't worry Gohan…everything will be fine…" Gohan nods and stops his power up at a level he knows is safe. Okori smirks wider, watching them. "Are you quite done? I haven't much patience for family moments." Gokuo narrows his eyes at the android. "You'll learn much more than patience after before this is through…" Okori laughs, his voice echoing off of the rubble surrounding them. "So Gokuo, you are over confident, we shall see what happens before this is through…" Gokuo scowls, and the two of them glare at each other. Okori holds his hand out in front of him, his palm facing down. Gokuo and Gohan brace themselves, but wait to see the results. Okori grin widely as the ground trembles and them explodes in a wave towards the two of them. Without time to dodge, the two of them get knocked off their feet and fly backwards, hitting the ground twenty feet away. Okori laughs and dashes at the two of them once again.
Yamcha sighs inwardly on his way to Capsule Corp. 'I wish I could do more to help, but I'm just not strong enough.' He looks up, seeing two ki's coming towards him at a high speed. He stops, waiting for them to approach him. Goten and Trunks stop in front of him, both of them in Super Saiyajin. Yamcha seems somewhat pleased with himself as he sees them. "You're going to go fight the androids?" Trunks nods "Yeah, we snuck off as soon as we could after the explosion." Yamcha's eyes widen "I almost forgot! Is everybody okay?" The two of them nod. "Yeah, Mrs. Bulma managed to shield the building a little." Yamcha breathes a sigh a relief. "I'll go see how things are there…you two be careful…" The two of them smile and nod. "Of course!" They rocket off again, and Yamcha watches as they go. "I hope they can be more of a help than I can…" He rockets towards Capsule Corp again, arriving shortly. As he lands, Bulma is outside. "Thank goodness, you came back…hey! You're not Trunks!" Yamcha clears his throat "Glad you noticed…" She doesn't seem too happy to see him. "Well what are you doing here? You should be out there fighting! And how'd you get here without seeing Goten and Trunks anyway?" Yamcha scratches the back of his head. " Actually, I did see them…" Bulma turns livid. "And you let them go?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Yamcha holds his arms up, truly fearing for his life at the moment. "I…I can't do what they can! I'm not strong enough! They can take care of themselves!" She folds her arms, resting them against her ribs, under her breasts. "That's just a pathetic excuse…" Yamcha blinks 'Maybe it's sexually transmitted…' She looks at him again. "Well? Aren't you going to say anything?!" without waiting for a reply, she turns around and storms into the building. Yamcha releases the breath he had been holding. "I…I'm not a Super Saiyajin…"
Piccolo gets knocked back by the force behind Kichigai's punch, even through his guard. Kichigai smirks, watching him. "Hmph, such a weak people, Namek sei-jin's… it makes me wonder how you could produce something as powerful as the dragon balls…" he says this while upper cutting Piccolo, sending him crashing through a wall. Piccolo wipes the green blood from his mouth with his nailed hand. "We're not as weak as some may think…" Kichigai laughs, and Piccolo dashes at him, crashing back through the wall. Drawing his fist back quickly, Piccolo slams his fist into Kichigai's jaw, surprising the android at the force behind it. Following up by brining his knee into the android's teeth, Piccolo then slams his elbow back into his face, causing the android to topple over. With a feral growl, Kichigai flips back onto his feet, leaning to the side and kicking Piccolo square in the chest. Flying backwards through the hole he made previously, Piccolo hits the ground with a heavy thud. Kichigai walks towards him, and Tien gets back to his feet with a loud cry, his aura flaring up orange around him. Kichigai looks over his shoulder at him. "I thought you were playing it safe…" Tien snarls as his eyes (yes all three) turn red, losing all detail. His ki radiating off of him in waves, Tien yells again, causing the air in front of him to ripple and the ground to shake with the sound waves. Kichigai arches his eyebrow, and turns to face Tien. Tien's breathing becomes heavy, and his body enlarges, taking in the newly accessed power. Kichigai frowns "Damned Cerax…he never should have merged with you…" Tien smirks, looking like wraith with his eyes glowing. "Too bad for you…" A smirk spreads across Kichigai's face. "You honestly think so?" Tien snarls and responds by jumping at the android.
Kichigai snickers, and upper cuts Tien out of the air, sending the large man backwards. Tien ricochets off the floor, dashing at the android again, grabbing his legs in both arms and forcing the android down. His head hitting the ground hard, Kichigai spits the blood that fills his mouth into Tien's face. Reaching up to wipe it off out of instinct, Kichigai swings his arms upwards, his fist making solid contact with Tien's throat. Tien gags momentarily, and stumbles back, trying to catch his breath. Kichigai spins up, his feet connecting with Tien's jaw in rapid succession. Flipping onto his feet, Kichigai fires a ki blast at Tien, which gets blasted away by a purple blast from behind. Kichigai spins around, firing another blast at Piccolo. Piccolo dodges it with a smirk, his ki flaring around him. "This is getting tiresome…" Kichigai scowls as he looks back and forth between Piccolo and Tien. Tien regains his composure and stands ready on one side of Kichigai, while Piccolo stands on the other. Kichigai develops a slow smirk and stands up straight with his arms at his sides. "Well…it seems that the game has reached stage 2. Allow me to turn up the heat…" He lifts both hands above his head, causing an explosion to spread from him in a circular motion. Piccolo and Tien shield themselves, but are sufficiently imobillized nonetheless. The smoke thins out, revealing Kichigai with his black aura flaring around him, his body enlarged from his power. Piccolo curses under his breath. 'I've gotten stronger, but I don't know if I can compete with this…' Kichigai laughs maniacally. "And now it's time for things to get interesting…"
Vegeta gets kicked backwards as Hageshi's foot connects with his chin. Trunks spins around him, lunging at Hageshi. The android grins and slams his right hand onto Trunks' head. The Saiyajin falls to the floor, and Hageshi laughs. "Oh come now…is this all that the two of you can offer?" Two ki blasts come towards his face at high speed as soon as the words leave his mouth. He glances at them, then bats them to the side. Goten and Trunks float to the ground, both of them now in Super Saiyajin level 2. Hageshi smirks, looking at them. "This game keeps getting better…" Goten and Trunks glare at him, the two of them looking quite serious now. Hageshi laughs, seeing the looks on their faces. "And just what do the two of you intend on doing?" The two of them smirk "Fu…" Hageshi arches his brow. "…sion!" Hageshi turns to face them fully interested in this now. "HA!" The two of them touch fingers, a large explosion following. Hageshi squints, his eyes taking a small moment to adjust to the light. The light subsides, and Gotenks is standing in the middle where the two kids formerly were. "Super Gotenks!" Hageshi's smirk broadens as he sees Gotenks standing there. "Ah, the fusion technique…this proves to be a most interesting part of the game. However, it won't be enough…" he holds his arms at his sides, becoming surrounded by his black ki. His body enlarges, going through the same process as his two brothers. Gotenks watches, with an arrogant smirk on his face. Hageshi snickers "That smirk will be taken clean off your face, Gotenks was it?" Gotenks nods "Don't you forget it!" Hageshi laughs "Yes, this proves to be most amusing." Trunks stands back up, and takes a few steps back, standing next to Gotenks.
Trunks and Gotenks dash at Hageshi, and the android dashes backwards, forcing them to continue forward. The two of them speed up, reaching Hageshi and drawing their fists back. The android catches both of their hands, but fails to anticipate the kicks that follow, connecting with his ribs on both sides. His grip broken on their fists, they proceed with their punches, connecting with his cheekbones on either side. Hageshi staggers back, raising his palm at the two senshi. Firing a ki blast at them, they split up, darting to either side of the beam. The beam splits, following both of them. They spin, surprised looks over taking their faces as they get hit with the beams. Hageshi disappears, reappearing behind Gotenks. He grabs the small Saiyajin fusion by the shoulders and rams his knee into his back. Gotenks yelps, tearing free of Hageshi's grip and spinning around in mid air, firing a ki blast at him. Hageshi puts his hand out, palm facing the beam, allowing it to collide into the beam. The beam trembles as it hits his hand, then disperses; it's energy raining down onto the senshi. Gotenks lands not too far away, a smirk having overtaken his face once again. Taking a deep breath, he puffs out his cheeks, and spits out a ghost. Moving his head in a semicircular motion, he spits out nine more, all of which make faces at Hageshi, trying to scare him. Hageshi laughs, seeing Gotenks' attack, and seeing Trunks land behind Gotenks. "Most amusing!" Gotenks snickers, then stands at attention, facing the ghosts. The ghosts line up, standing in a military line, carefully spaced out so they don't touch each other. "Alright everybody, sound off!" The ghosts shout out numbers from one to eight, then final two fighting over who gets to be the last one. Gotenks runs over in front of them, just as they get ready to slug each other. "Hey! What do you think your doing?!" They look up at him, then smile and line up, finishing the sound off. Gotenks stands up straight again and points at Hageshi.
"That is your target! Follow battle plan C!" The ghosts murmur amongst themselves, and number 1 looks at him puzzled. "Which plan was that?" Gotenks falls over backwards, his hand clasped to his forehead. Standing back up, Gotenks all but loses his cool. "Just get him!" The ghosts salute, then look at Hageshi again. With twisted looks of glee and playfulness on their faces, they charge at him. Hageshi smirks, watching the spectacle, and moves to guard against the ghosts. The first one reaches him, laughing as he sees Hageshi blocking. "Stupid! We'll blow up when we touch you!" Hageshi chuckles "Thanks for the warning…" he disappears and the ghosts stare wide eyed at the spot where he just was, unable to stop themselves. "We're gonna crash!" Gotenks gawks, then covers his head as the ten ghosts collide and explode. Trunks sighs and shakes his head, then stands up straight in horror, sensing Hageshi behind him. Narrowing his eyes, he spins around, aiming his fist for Hageshi's face. Gotenks looks up, and flips into the air, landing on Hageshi's head with one foot and posing. Hageshi knocks Trunks' hand away, then grabs Gotenks' foot. "Hey!" With a maniacal laugh, Gotenks throws Gotenks into Trunks, the two of them stumbling back together and falling over. Hageshi raises his left hand over his head, a black disk appearing over it. The ground begins to tremble and he looks over his shoulder Vegeta lets out a loud cry, transforming into Super Saiyajin level 4. Hageshi turns, throwing the disk at Vegeta, who ducks under it and kicks it, sending it spinning into the air. Vegeta stands up, narrowing his eyes at the android. "Play time is over…" Hageshi snickers "I beg to differ, Vegeta, we just started this game…" The two of them dash into the air, making contact periodically on their way up. Gotenks and Trunks look up at them, then charge up after them.
Okori snarls, stepping into his kick aimed at Gohan's teeth. Gohan moves his head to the side quickly, then jumps forward, punching Okori in the ribs. Gokuo drops out of the air and lands behind Okori, kicking him in the back of the head. The android flips around, firing multiple ki blasts at him, all of which explode as they hit Gokuo. Gohan reaches for his father, and gets backhanded across the jaw by Okori. Okori stands up straight, his hands radiating with black energy. Raising his arms above his head, he rockets straight up into the air. Gokuo and Gohan shake their head, getting rid of all manners of stun, and look up at him. The ground under Gokuo's feet explodes as he flies into the air, leaving a large trail of ki behind him as he charges towards Okori. Okori laughs then thrusts his hands downwards, firing a large black ki beam at him. Gokuo snarls, charging into the beam, a circular field of ki appearing around him in a large circle. The beam diverts around him, heading down towards Gohan. Gohan looks up, then thrusts his arms forward, a large golden ki beam shooting from his hand, crashing with Okori's beam. Gokuo slows down, now caught in the center of a ki battle between the two beams. He extends his arms and legs out in an 'X', letting out a loud cry. The ki field around him expands, letting out a loud 'boom' as it does so. Both beams divert, careening straight into the air. Hageshi arches an eyebrow, then dashes at Gokuo with his fist drawn back. Gohan stares up at the two of them, then rockets up to intercept Okori. Gokuo disappears as Okori reaches him, leaving the android heading towards Gohan. Gohan smirks, punching Okori in the chin quickly, using both hands in rapid succession. Okori flips over 360 degrees in the air, and brings his foot up into Gohan's chin. Gohan spits out a tooth as blood sprays from his mouth. Gohan snarls, narrowing his eyes. "You'll pay for that kisama…" Okori snickers, then appears behind him, grabbing him in a bear hug. "I'm sure I will…" Gohan growls trying to wrench himself free of the androids grasp.
Gokuo appears behind Okori, arching his leg through the air in a crescent, his foot hooking Okori's face. Okori growls, managing to keep his grip on Gohan, weathering the kick. Turning his head to the side, looking at Gokuo out of the corner of his eye, he tightens his grip on Gohan, causing the young Saiyajin to cry out in pain. Gokuo trembles momentarily, then moves his arms in blurs, his fists connecting with Okori's spine. Finally loosening his grip, Gohan slips out from Okori's arms and spins around, doing the same as his father. Okori screams angrily, then disappears, causing father and son's fists to collide. Gohan pulls his hand back, not saying anything about it, and looks around for Okori. Gokuo rockets into the air as Okori appears. Okori's eyebrows draw themselves down as he narrows his eyes at Gokuo. Gokuo swings his fist at the android, but Okori moves to the side, and slams his fist into Gokuo's jaw, sending the Saiyajin hurtling to the ground. Gohan moves to catch his father and looks up as Okori fires a black beam at the two of them. "Kuso!" The beam explodes around them, forcing them into the ground. Okori snickers, wiping sweat from his forehead. Gokuo pushes himself to his feet, and Okori glares at him. 'He should be dead by now…not to mention his annoying son…' Gokuo glares back at Okori, then disappears. Reappearing behind Okori, Gokuo slams his fist into the back of his head, then flips over and drops his heel onto Okori's back, sending the android towards the ground, where Gohan is waiting. Kicking the android in the face as he falls, Gohan moves quickly and stops Okori's fall by embedding his fist into the androids abdomen, letting out a metallic clang in the process. Okori's eyes tremble as he's thrown to the floor. Gokuo floats down next to Gohan, his eyes still on Okori. Okori gets to his feet slowly, staring at the two of them, panting. Trembling with rage, Okori throws his arms out to the sides, and explosion following his actions. Gokuo and Gohan shield their faces as Okori dashes at the two of them at break neck speed, his eyes reflecting the rage in his heart.
Kichigai's eyes glow a bright red as he charges at Piccolo. Having just began to stand up; Piccolo stares wide eyed at him. Ramming into the Namek sei-jin with his shoulder, Kichigai uses his weight and his speed to add force to the impact, sending Piccolo sprawling helplessly backwards, past Tien, who's holding his hands in a triangle in front of him. Kichigai arches an eyebrow and watches as Tien uses his Shin-kiko ho, which drains Tien when he uses it. The android takes three hesitant steps back as the light cascades around him, pain shooting through his body and at the same time blinding him. Tien uses the technique again, forcing Kichigai to one knee. Panting, Tien wipes sweat from his forehead and dashes at Kichigai before he has time to recover. Looking up just as Tien's fists make rapid contact with his face, Kichigai falls onto his back, leaving Tien to lunge after him. Kicking outward with his legs, the android sends Tien flipping through the air in an arc, ultimately sending him through the last remaining wall. Kichigai stands up and raises one hand in either direction to his left and right, firing a ki beam from each hand. The beams shoot forward, one heading for Tien, and the other heading for Piccolo. Piccolo screams angrily and swats the beam aside, Kichigai gawks at him, not knowing that Piccolo had attained so much power. Piccolo snarls, his teeth glistening in the sunlight, and powers up again, his aura blasting a crater in the ground and sending ripples of power through the air. Kichigai shields his face as the waves of energy come towards him, but they burn into him in spite of his efforts. Piccolo appears behind him, leaving the android to turn his head in surprise as he kicks his legs out from under him, and quickly sends him into the air with a follow up kick. Raising a nailed hand towards the android, Piccolo smirks as a large ki beam shoots from his hand and towards Kichigai. Kichigai rights himself in the air, and looks wide eyed at the beam shooting towards him. "Masaka!" The beam crashes into him with a tremendous force, and an enormous explosion. Piccolo ducks to the ground, covering his head as the beam explodes, and looks over at Tien, who's doing the same. The explosion subsides and Piccolo and Tien stand up, staring into the smoke as it disperses. The looks of shock on their faces cannot be concealed by any means of technology as they see Kichigai floating in the same spot he was in, with an angry look upon his face. Floating down to the ground once again, Kichigai stares straight at Piccolo. "I don't know how you got so much power at your disposal, Namek, but now it is time for me to make your soul shudder with my might…" Piccolo shakes his head, getting rid of the shocked look on his face and replacing it with a look of anger and hatred. Tien takes his place beside Piccolo as Kichigai bears down on the two of them.
Jumping to either side of the charging android, Tien and Piccolo both spin around in the air and fire ki beams. Kichigai disappears, leaving the beams to explode on the ground. Searching for the android, they fail to notice the orb of power swelling up in the crater from Piccolo's power up. They two of them look over at the orb at the same time, and fire ki beams into it. The orb absorbs their ki and grows in size. Kichigai floats up out of the crater, holding the growing orb above his head in his right hand. "I have no more time for you…" Kichigai hurls the ball at the two of them at high speed, leaving them little time to dodge. The two of them look at each other and nod, then simultaneously charge into the orb with their hands radiating with their own ki. Kichigai watches as they do so, and begins laughing. His laughing is cut short when the ball is pushed back towards him and explodes. The explosion shakes the entire area, all three fighters being caught in its merciless path. The explosion expands greatly before finally dispersing into smoke, which lingers only momentarily as the wind picks up. The smoke clears, revealing Tien, Piccolo, and Kichigai all sprawled out on the ground. Kichigai trembles as he attempts to stand, but falls back down. Piccolo's eyes are shut, and his breathing is heavy as green blood flows from his mouth and his side. There's a large hole in his right shoulder, which is currently being filled by a sharp rock. Tien lays face down on the ground, blood filling in a pool under him, however his body still trembles up and down with his shaky breath. Kichigai coughs out a spray of blood as his head falls onto a pile of rubble underneath him. "Kuso…"
The senshi all look to the side as a huge explosion rocks the area. Vegeta shakes his head, paying no further attention to it, and looks back at Hageshi. Hageshi's eyes are already back on him as well, and the two of them begin trading blows once again. Trunks and Gotenks continue to watch the spectacle. "That's where Tien and Piccolo were fighting…" Gotenks nods his head slowly. "Yeah, but we have no time to help them…" Trunks nods and dashes back at Hageshi. Hageshi looks at the Mirai Saiyajin coming towards him and greets him with an axe kick to the back of his neck. Trunks falls to the ground, and flips off it, coming back towards Hageshi. Hageshi, having his hands full with Vegeta, gets pummelled by the two Saiyajins. Gotenks floats in the air behind and above him, smirking. "Super Gotenks' Shine Shine Missile!" Gotenks moves his hands back and forth, firing hundreds of little ki blasts towards Hageshi. Vegeta and Trunks dart to the side as the blasts hit Hageshi, and the android screams in rage. Gotenks stops and rubs his chin with an arrogant smile. Vegeta scowls, and dashes back towards where Hageshi was in the smoke, and doesn't find him. "Kuso…" Vegeta looks up as Hageshi appears behind Gotenks and backhands him in the back of the head, causing the young fusion to fall to the floor, and split apart into Goten and Trunks. Mirai no Trunks holds his hands out towards Hageshi, firing his burning attack. Hageshi darts to the side evading the beam, and flies right into Vegeta's awaiting arms. The Saiyajin Prince embeds his knee into Hageshi's side, causing the android to growl and grabs his wrist. Flipping Vegeta over his back, Hageshi fires a ki ball into Vegeta's chest, which carries him across the lot before it finally explodes. Mirai no Trunks trembles with rage as his aura flares up to impossible heights. Hageshi blinks as Trunks appears immediately in front of him and uses a technique unknown to the android.
An impossibly large orb of white ki surrounds Hageshi and Mirai no Trunks, and spreads outwards, enveloping Vegeta and the two chibi Saiyajins as well. The orb explodes, leaving the senshi to scream in pain. Vegeta curses under his breath as he dashes over to Goten and Trunks, shielding them from any further pain. 'I'm going soft' he thinks as another waves of pain hits him. Mirai no Trunks falls to the ground amidst his own attack, leaving Hageshi in the air in shock. Hageshi's left arm begins to burn of in small pieces, and finally disintegrates completely. The white orb disappears as Mirai no Trunks loses consciousness. Hageshi floats down to the ground slowly, staring gape mouthed at the Z Senshi before him. Taking one step forward, Hageshi falls onto his face. Trunks' eyes flutter open, and he sees his father over his and Goten, bleeding from several unseen wounds, several of them internal. He smiles to himself, then passes out again. Vegeta rolls onto his side, breathing heavily. "K…kuso… what the hell was that?" Vegeta's eyes roll up in his head momentarily as he fights for consciousness. He looks over at Goten and Trunks next to him, half dead, and then looks over to Mirai no Trunks, who's not too far away. His head swimming and his mind threatening to shut down, he looks at Hageshi, seeing the android lying in a pool of blood with his left arm missing. He snickers, which forces blood out of his mouth and causes him to cough. 'Kuso…' Vegeta's head lolls back and his eyes force themselves shut. The five of them lay unconscious on the field of battle, blood around each of them.
The sky, now dark with smoke and clouds, shudders violently at the fighting on the ground. Lightning strikes in the distance, and rain begins to fall in torrents. Not caring about the weather, Gokuo and Gohan both grab Okori and fly with him towards the ground. Letting go at the last moment, they stop in the air, sending the android headfirst into the earth. Oblivious to the fact that the rest of the fighting has come to a stop, the three of them continue. Okori jumps to his feet as Gohan lands next to him. The two of them trade blows and Okori smirks as he catches Gohan's arm and pulls him towards him. Caught off guard, Gohan stumbles forward. Okori yells loudly and thrusts his fist into Gohan's abdomen, which penetrates his flesh and comes out the other side of his body. Lightning strikes again, highlighting the features of the two of them. Gokuo's face contorts with rage and he dashes at Okori, leaving streaks behind him. Okori withdraws his fist and Gohan drops to the ground, blood gushing from the hole in his stomach, and trickling from his mouth. Gokuo reaches Okori and begins attacking him relentlessly. Okori, wide eyed at the rage of Gokuo, does his best to block. Circumventing the androids guard, Gokuo slams his fist into the side of Okori's head. The android spins from the impact, and then gets Gokuo's heel dropped onto his spine. Falling to the ground Okori spits out blood. Gokuo holds his hands at his sides, creating a ki ball between them. Okori jumps to his feet and flips around, landing behind Gokuo and pushing him upwards with tremendous strength. Gokuo loses the ki he was powering up and spins around to face Okori. The two of them stare at each other, each with a respective amount of hatred for the other. "You bastard…you'll pay for what you've done to my son…" Okori smirks. "If it means so much to you, I'll send you to meet him…" Gokuo's face begins to twitch and his power explodes around him violently. Okori watches wide eyed and gape mouthed as Gokuo's aura flares up and envelops him.
Okori's eyes radiate with energy, some of which spills outwards. He holds his hands at his sides with his fists clenched. His aura radiates black around him, contesting with Gokuo's aura. His own aura explodes around him, growing greatly. The two senshi's aura's contest with the other's, growing greatly. Gokuo screams angrily, and Okori's aura shatters, the energy in it coming down with the rain. Gokuo holds his arms at his sides, forming a ki ball between them once again. Okori holds his arms over his head, his hands radiating black with his ki. The two of them begin collecting energy, the power stored up in their arms amassing to an extreme high. Sweeping his arms forward, Gokuo fires his Kamehameha with a loud yell, as Okori thrusts his arms forward, firing a large black beam to meet it. The beams collide, creating violent feedback from the point of collision. Lightning strikes the beams as they contest one another. The beams double in size as each fighter pours more energy into their attack. With ki radiating off of the beams themselves, they continue pushing each other back and forth. The clouds above Gokuo and Okori begin to swirl together in a turbulent vortex. Lightning shoots down from the clouds and strikes the beams once again, causing the two warriors to strain, as it seems that nature itself is intervening in the battle. The beams explode oddly, the energy of the two warriors mixing into an amalgam of ki. The explosion from the amalgamated ki envelops the two warriors, and spreads, enveloping also the rest of the senshi around them. A crater forms under the explosion, deepening ad widening, taking in the fighters from the surrounding area's as well. The rain falls more violently as Gokuo lay with his back against a large rock. The three androids lay in the crater as well as the Z Senshi. All of them lay unconscious, Gokuo, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Tien, and Mirai no Trunks. The fist size hole off-center in Gohan's abdomen continues to bleed profusely. The rain begins to slowly fill the crater, a pool of water forming at the bottom. The pool isn't simply water…it's mixed with blood…
TO BE CONCLUDED
