The fight with Sonic begins....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linta powered up and Sonic flew at her. She blinked and suddenly had no idea where he was.
**Linta! Behind you!* Linta heard in her head. She spun around and barely blocked the punch that was coming down on her. Sonic threw a kick, and Linta missed the movement entirely. She was barely hurt though.
**Man, he's fast! Good thing his strength doesn't equal his speed!** Linta told Dragonith. Evil Sonic suddenly came up behind Linta and punched her in the back. She groaned and stood quickly, then was shot down again. Linta got in one kick before Evil Sonic kicked her back and blasted her into a mountain.
Dragonith searched frantically for her ki. He could feel nothing. No, it couldn't end this way...Dragonith stepped forward, then, he suddenly felt it.
**Dragonith......help me...** her thoughts were weak. The little guy was stronger than she had thought. That was all the sign Dragonith needed. In a sudden rage, he flew at Evil Sonic and bashed him in the head.
Dragonith looked at Linta, he could barley feel her KI. He spun around and looked at evil sonic.
"You WILL pay for that." Dragonith promised.
"Try me." Evil Sonic sneered. Dragonith ran up to Evil Sonic and acted as if he was going to punch him then slipped between his legs and grabbed him by the neck from behind! Evil Sonic was caught completely off guard by this. But he quickly started elbowing Dragonith. Dragonith let go and fell down as Evil Sonic kicked him in the back. Dragonith got up and blasted a KI blast in Evil Sonics Face. He fell down. Both of them were down. Dragonith got up first, but Evil Sonic got up right after. Dragonith kicked him in the ribs. Evil Sonic countered with a punch to Dragonith's jaw. It went on like this till Evil Sonic caught his foot. He threw him in the air. He blasted a kamehameha at Dragonith. From mid-air Dragonith blasted one back!! They were both blasting each other at full power. You could tell their power was almost EXACTLY the same. Then without warning Dragonith jumped up and punched Evil Sonic in the face. The blasts went through a mountain and Dragonith continued to beat on Evil Sonic!
Evil Sonic couldn't believe that someone with a power level so much lower than his was pounding on him like this. Dragonith was fighting on raw emotion. Evil Sonic then kneed him in the stomach. This winded Dragonith, Evil Sonic ran up and kicked him in the face. Then as Dragonith was getting up Evil Sonic blasted him with a Masenko. The blast sent Dragonith to the ground. Dragonith pulled himself up to his feet and just stared at Evil Sonic. Dragonith and him flew up, high up and started punching each other. Dragonith managed to grab Evil Sonics arm but when he tried to throw him to the ground Evil Sonic held onto his arm. Dragonith then felt an arm slamming into his chest and he was thrown to the ground.
**You....can...do it......Dragonith!** Linta told him. She slowly pulled herself out of the small crater and flew into the sky. She flew a little closer to the fight and saw Evil Sonic punch Dragonith in the gut, sending him to the ground. Linta put her hand straight in front of her and slowly moved her thumb across her hand.
She shot the blast. The Big Bang connected, and Evil Sonic fell to the ground. Linta, having used the last of her energy in that blast, fell to the ground. Dragonith picked up Evil Sonic by the throat and glared at him. He threw him to the ground and prepared to kill him.
"NO!" yelled Sonic. Sonic attacked his evil clone right in front of Dragonith and went into a fist fight. Sonic was getting pretty beat up. Evil Sonic was too powerful. Then, Sonic started to notice something. Evil Sonic's moves were very predictable. "Of course! We must both share the same minds!" thought Sonic. Sonic started to use this to his advantage. He sensed that his clone would use a Ki blast, so Sonic quickly flew out of the way.
"What the?" exclaimed evil Sonic, and he was slammed in the stomach. Sonic then sensed that Evil Sonic would fly to the right, so Sonic quickly got there and his clone appeared, he smashed his head. Meanwhile, Dragonith, back on the ground, watched the two fight. He wondered if he should blast the evil clone, but which one was the evil one?
Dragonith slightly pissed off about Sonic taking the fight away from him like that just stared. He was trying to figure out which was evil...he groaned, if only he knew how to use the spirit bomb it wouldn't touch Sonic but would destroy Evil Sonic. Then he got an idea he would watch how both of them fight and react, when he was sure which one was evil he would send a Last Breath at the evil one. The only problem was if he was wrong...
He tried to put that out of his mind. He focused on the fight and noticed that one of them had just been thrown to the ground. The one that was thrown to the ground ran to Dragonith faked a punch and said..."I'm the real one". Something seemed wrong in his eyes though. Then he realized it was a lie. He slammed his forearm into Evil Sonics head and told Sonic to power up for a kamehameha. Dragonith got on the other side of Evil Sonic and started powering up.
"Kaaaameeehaaameeeha!" Dragonith and Sonic shouted in unison. The two blasts crushed Evil Sonic into nothing but dust. He was destroyed by the blast and Dragonith was completely out of energy. He collapsed, now it was just and the two weird looking kids. Linta grinned.
"That wasn't as bad as we thought it'd be..." She mumbled. Dragonith quickly picked her up, and took off toward Dende's. The two weird kids followed behind.
Sonic had stayed behind. He was an independent fighter, yet he wanted to train. Maybe he should roam earth to find some sort of evil to destroy. Sonic may have been good, but he was very blood thirsty and power hungry. He wanted more power. He flew to a desert with plenty of pyramids in it.
"We are too advanced to keep this junk lying around." said Sonic. He picked up the biggest Pyramid and threw it up in the air. He then blasted it with a Kamehameha. He then flew really high. He charged up a spirit bomb and blasted the rest of them.
~Back at Dende's tower~
Dende quickly healed Linta, and then they began trying to figure out what to do next.
"Well, we don't know when those two could be coming back. And they might train." Linta pointed out.
"Thebes and I received commands to stay here and make sure everything is back in order before returning, so we might have some extra time to help you guys train." Tethys said.
"Then it's settled. We train." Dragonith said. Dragonith, Linta, Thebes, and Tethys all talked about what to do. They finally decided on Linta and Dragonith sparring with Tethys and Thebes. Dragonith immediately flew at Tethys and started punching him he was caught completely off guard. Dragonith was quickly wearing him down. Thebes jumped at Linta and kicked her in the stomach. Dragonith was dominating Tethys for the moment and Thebes had the upper hand on Linta. Linta and Tethys were both knocked down at the exact same moment. Dragonith spun Thebes around and kicked him in the face. While he was doing this Tethys got up and elbowed him in the back. Linta kicked Thebes in the ribs. Thethys hit Linta in the back.
Dragonith got back up and started kicking Thebes repeatedly into the ground. Linta went after Tethys.
Linta swung her leg at Tethys, and he caught it in mid-air. He punched her in the stomach, and she kicked him in the leg. Dragonith hit Tethys in the head, and Tethys began fighting him as Linta went after Thebes.
Tethys slammed Dragonith in the head, and Dragonith quickly flew back up at Tethys and kicked him in
~meanwhile off on another planet~
There he stood, another great Saiyan warrior. He had been going around from planet to planet, in hopes of conquering it. Unfortunately, with every vain attempt, he would either be defeated by the planetary forces, or would end up completely ruining the planet itself. Killing off all the life-forms and all the planetary minerals, leaving only a barren land, not even fit enough for the most simplest living things in the Galaxy. He was Verttogo, destroyer of anything in his way.
Verttogo looked out at the landscape of the planet he was on. It was completely wrecked. Yet another planet he had screwed up. It didn't matter now, Verttogo had just found a more suitable planet. Verttogo had no choice but to go to earth. Since that is where a lot of fighters are, he deiced to go kill all of them one by one and rule earth. Verttogo boarded his space pod, set the computer for his destination, and within seconds, the pod blasted from the scene. Verttogo closed his eyes has he awaits his arrival at Earth, and drifted off into a resting period. Verttogo just passed the moon when his computer wakes him up.
"We will be arriving on earth Very soon. Please get ready for impact." Verttogo instantly wakes up from the computer sound and sits up and gets ready to land on what he hopes to be his own planet to rule. Verttogo's pod zooms in through the atmosphere, and a red blemish appears on the outside of Verttogo's pod. Unexpectedly, Verttogo's pod lands right in the middle of an ocean. He opens it up and gets out quickly. He is really mad that his computer messed up the landing spot As he flies toward the mainland. Verttogo flies, and lands in a forest. Verttogo has furious at the fact of the miscalculated dropping point in the water. Verttogo looks around and decides to let out his fury on whatever seemed to be near. The forest he was in seemed to be near enough to him. He fires a blast at few trees causing them to catch fire. The trees fall, and soon a wild fire erupts. By then Verttogo has already flown off and heading to a random direction. While flying along, Verttogo senses a few power levels near by. Verttogo needed a good fight to loosen up, and so he heads towards the ki signatures. He picks up speed so he can get there faster, unknowingly heading towards Dragonith and the others.
~Off in space above Earth~
Roum screamed as she tried to control the falling space ship, "COMPUTER RESPOND!"
"COMMAND. FAILURE." The computer relied.
"What? Computer, Explain the command failure!"
"COLLISION. IN. 10 Seconds. 9..." The computer counted off.
"Computer! Give me manual controls now."
"COMMAND. FAILURE."
"What caused the-..."
"COLLISION. IN. 3... 2... 1."
BOOM! Roum's' ship slides along the planet's soil, until coming to a complete halt. Roum groaned and slowly opened her eyes, "How... How did the... command failure... happen?" She asked herself and looked about the destroyed ship, "Now I'm stuck on a third class planet." Roum grabbed what supplies she needed: a communicator, (It looks some what like a modified scouter), her Halo sword and her hooded cloak. She tapped in the journal command of her communicator and said,
"Cycle 1 of decacycle 5004. I, Pilot one-two-two-seven, have crashed on a third class planet named Urth, (this is how Kamajin's spell the name), because of 'command failure' the cause of this command failure is unknown at this time..." She clicked of the recorder and put on her hooded cloak, "I hope Earthlings are not as ignorant and violent as previous explorers made them out to be..." She said as she left the ruined ship.
"Hmm…" Roum tapped her communicator as it gave her a map of the planet
"Hmmmm...... Should I fly to a near by city?" No. It wasn't worth the risk; who knew what possible powerful enemies where out there? "I shall walk." She said and began in the direction of the City.
~Nearby~
Andante meditated over the same waterfall his father had so many years ago, "Peace… I am one with Nature…" He let his mind slip into the tranquility around him, "Wonderful…" Andante looked exactly like his father, Piccolo, but he wore Nail's clothing; other than a few personality differences and age, one might not have been able to tell the two apart.
"Eh?" Andante opened his eyes and looked to his left, he sensed a new power level. "Hrm…" He muttered as he decided to check it out. Andante had been noticing high power levels left and right lately. They were all no concern of his, but this one...just felt different. Plus it was closer to him, and he was bored. Andante took off toward the power and soon found her. He landed behind her, and she immediately whirled around, sword unsheathed. Andante, ready to ask her what she was doing, suddenly stopped. There was something in her eyes....
"Who..." He stopped, hesitating. "Who are you?" Roum paused and looked up at him and nearly had a heart attack.
"Ack! D'sug ujo yea? [What are you?]" He looked like A Kamajin! He had green skin, patches, Antennae, and pointed ears like she did but he was bald and masculine; Roum pulled out her sword ready to fight. "D'sug we yea dum'g vej'm no? [What do you want from me?]"
Andante blinked at the hooded woman, she language was she speaking? The woman huffed at him and put her sword away, she mumbled some thing in her native language and then tapped a silver object hidden under her hood. She grumbled and tapped it again.
"What are you..."
"Tivo no emo nimago." The woman replied holding up her hand indicating one.
"Her hand!" Andante thought, "Its GREEN!"
"W... What... do you want... with me?" The woman said carefully.
"I want to know who you are." Andante replied.
"Sim ej Voe?"
"Nani?"
"Friend or Foe?" Andante hesitated, could the green handed women be trusted?
"Friend." He said finally.
"Then I am Roum."
"Konichiwa Roum-San..." Andante smirked, "I am Andante." He saw her narrow her narrow her eyes under her hood.
"What race are you?" She asked.
"Namek."
"Felisians keep a close recording on all the races in this Galaxy." Roum replied.
"So you are a 'Felisian'?" Roum shook her head, "Me... No... I am not..."
"Then what are you?" Andante asked, "Let me see your face!"
Roum sighed, "My appearance may startle you..." She reached for her hood, "My race is known as the Kamajin race... or rather the children of Kama..." She took of her hood and Andante gasped. SHE LOOKED LIKE A NAMEK! Her light green skin seemed to go perfectly with her blue hair an pupil-less purple eyes. Her antennae and ears were slightly smaller than his.
"What in... How..." Andante looked for the correct words to say, "Why do you have a scouter?"
"Scouter?" Roum asked, "You mean communicator. It gives me almost any information that I need..."
"I...see..." Andante tried to think of what he should do. Go to the look out? Tell Dende? But he had never spoken with him before, Dende didn't know that he existed! He was the secret son of Piccolo. "I think I should take you to Dende-San."
"Who is this Dende?"
"The Kami of Earth."
"Very well then but if he causes me any threat..."
"Trust me... he won't." Andante assured her.
Roum frowned at Andante, "How do I not know that this is a trick?"
"Feh! You don't." Andante replied with a scoff similar to what his father had used.
"Then I shall not go with you." Roum said simply.
"Why not?!?" Andante demanded.
"My prime directive is to keep safe until I am rescued from this... third class planet."
"THIRD CLASS?" Andante felt himself become angry but he pushed it down.
"Any populated planet not part of the Coalition is either a third class or a secondary class..." Roum replied nochalantly. Andante blinked at her not sure he wanted to ask what a second-class planet was.
"C… come... Dende will know what to do."
"Know what to do about what?"
"Err..." Andante thought for a moment, "About why you look like a Namek."
Roum scoffed, "This is why this planet is third class. Earthlings may have made it to h'luxo [space], but they still do not have enough technology to make themselves second class..."
"What is why?"
"You Earthlings, (and I assume that you were hatched here), seem to believe that there is no one like you." Roum explained, "When in reality there are many races that have a similar biology and anatomy structure as yourselves…"
"Like how saiyans look humans." Andante said thoughtfully.
"Aren't we the smart one?" Roum mocked, "The reason I look like a 'Namek' is because my race and yours obviously evolved in similar ways."
"Oh…" Andante muttered, then realizing that she had mocked him. "Do not mock me! Got it?"
"Understood." Roum replied.
"We still should see Dende."
"D'sy?"
"Nani?"
"Why?" Roum replied, "Why must we see this Dende?"
"Because you are only one of many high power levels I have sensed lately…"
"Did you confront them as you confronted me?"
"No."
"Why is this?"
"Their… Ki signatures didn't feel similar to mine." Andante explained.
"Vimo… Fine… we shall visit this Dende."
~Elsewhere~
Sonic was building up a good deal of sweat as he was training. He was trying his best to quench his thirst for being stronger. Suddenly, just as he was about to blast a nearby mountain to smitherines, Sonic sensed a ki nearby. Sonic instantly stopped himself and went to see what was going on. He stopped someone in his path.
"Have you come here with evil intentions or good? I must warn you, I am an evil hunter, and I can defeat the likes of you very easily." Sonic said to him.
"Don't you talk to me like that! I am Verttogo! Your next ruler!" The warrior said angrily. "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter." said Sonic, "Either way, I will destroy you. Like I do to all evil scum feeders like you."
Verttogo then charged at Sonic, but Sonic was too fast, and he seemed to disappear and reappear behind the evil warrior. He then grabbed Verttogo by the leg, spun him around, and threw him straight into a mountain. Sonic then charged up and fired a Kamehameha at him. Verttogo straightened himself from the toss and tries to dodge the blast but gets hit. He falls to ground but quickly gets up.
Verttogo rubs his head "Who IS this guy?" he says to himself. Verttogo realizes that the guy is stronger. He fires multiple blasts at random directions. A couple of the blasts hit Sonic, and Sonic fall to the ground on his back. Verttogo then flies up above Sonic, and he fires a large ki beam down on him. The beam hits Sonic, but he remains alive. Verttogo then runs into a forest and powers down. Few minutes later, Verttogo walks out of the forest and looks around. He flies up into the air to get a better view of things. Verttogo then resumes his flight toward Dende's.
~Elsewhere~
Roum placed her hood back on and followed Andante towards a tower of sorts; atop the tower she saw four people in mid battle.
"Who are they?" Roum asked as they flew towards the tower.
"I don't know." Andante replied. Roum huffed and grumbled something under her breath.
"Mr. Dende?" Popo said.
"Yes, Popo?" Dende asked patiently.
"There are two people coming our way."
"I know." Dende nodded, "Don't worry." The two strangers landed a few yards away from them.
"Who are you?" Dende asked the Namek, but he then recognized the stature, "You are related to Piccolo aren't you?"
The Namek nodded, "Yes. Piccolo is my father."
"What is your name?"
"Andante." The Namek replied.
"Who is the woman?" Popo asked pointing to the black cloaked woman who had come with Andante; she was watching the battle.
"That is Roum." Dende narrowed his eyes at the hooded woman, there was something about her Ki...
"She is a Kamajin..." Andante explained.
"A what?"
"Roum... take off your hood."
"No." Roum replied simply and continued to watch the fight.
"WHAT?"
"I said 'no'." Roum shrugged, "I agreed to come, not to show myself." Andante growled at the woman, apparently she had been acting this way for a while.
"Roum-San." Dende said calmly, "Please. Take off your hood." Roum turned and glared at him, her eyes seemed to catch the sunlight dispite the hood covering her face. "Vimo..." She muttered and took off her hood just as the woman in the battle (Linta) threw one of the men to the ground.
Roum ignored the shock that was painted on the elder Namek and the genie's faces, instead she turned to watch the four fight again and said, "You DO realize that a fight is occurring near here right?" Roum mentions as she watches the Saiyans and the Acherons fight.
Thebes jumped back up and hit Linta down on the ground. Linta sat up and watched the scene in front of her.
"She looks almost like a Namek..." Linta said. She noticed that the other three had stopped fighting as well. Linta walked over to the two new arrivals.
"Dende....who are these people?"
"Andante and Roum."
"Uh...hi. I'm Linta, this is my brother Dragonith, and these two are Tethys and Thebes." Dragonith looked at Roum, then turned to Andante. He seemed to approve of them. Mean while an idea was forming in his head.
"Ok, let's make teams. Linta, Andante, and I versus Roum, Tethys, and Thebes. You all like that?"
"Yeah, it's good enough." They all agree. They immediately started sparring. Dragonith went straight for Roum and kicked her in the head. Tethys launched himself at Andante and tackled him. Thebes ran up to Linta and fell victim to a kick from the saiyan.
Dragonith grabbed Roum and threw her high in the air. As she was on her way, Dragonith started powering up. Roum saw this coming though and they both blasted ki blasts at each other.
Tethys punched Andante in the head. Andante quickly recovered ran up to Tethys and grabbed him by the neck. Tethys kicked Andante in the stomach to stop him from choking him.
Linta and Thebes were flying everywhere. Neither of them were giving up. Thebes punched Linta in the stomach, but found a ki blast in his chest. He flung it up into the air and kicked Linta. Linta blocked the kick and elbowed him in the back.
Dragonith was slowly overwhelming Roum, he finally sent both blasts right at Roum. They both hit her, but she quickly recovered. She flew down and kicked Dragonith in the head. Dragonith punched her in the back and followed it up with a kick to the back of her head. She was caught off guard badly by this. Andante kicked Tethys in the stomach and Tethys punched Andante in the head.
Andante backed up and yelled, "SOLAR FLARE!" Tethys was blinded and quickly felt a pain in his back then his stomach. Andante was all over him! Thebes had quickly recovered from the elbow and kicked Linta in the face. Linta backed up. She looked at Thebes with some sort of anger. She powered up and flew at him. She tackled him and started punching him. Thebes was being completely overwhelmed!
Dragonith had knocked Roum down and started powering up a Kamehameha. The blast only half hit Roum. She had managed to dodge most of it, and she was only hit in the arm and leg. She fell down. As Dragonith approached her she blasted him in the chest with a ki blast. He went flying. Dragonith and Roum were both down now.
Andante and Tethys kept fighting. Both of them were fighting and neither could get an advantage on the other. Finally Tethys kicked Andante in the stomach and winded him. Linta got off Thebes and threw him up in the air, she started powering up a Big Bang.
Roum growled and got up. She was mad at this Dragonith character. She muttered something in her language and then yelled, "PINGA!" A purple beam shot from her hand, straight for Dragonith. He dodged it barely in time. The area where the beam had hit had melted! Dragonith charged Roum for a punch to the nose but his fist hit a zanzoken image, "Ya!" Roum kneed Dragonith in the small of his neck, momentarily paralyzing him.
"No more sparring." She said in an annoyed voice. She did not need this now; she turned and walked away from him, "I have more important things to do."
Mean while, Andante had recovered and was now firing machine gun blasts at Tethys. As the smoke and rubble cleared, Andante realized that Tethys was nowhere in sight. Tethys appeared to Andante's far right and fired a ki blast, Andante easily dodged it, only to be hit by another one. Roum walked through the sparring field untouched by the other fighters; she was in a very bad mood.
"Where are you going?" Dende asked.
"I have things I must complete." Roum muttered as she walked to the other side of the tower, "Perhaps you can have them check out that battle I sense occurring near here." She then took off her communicator, pulled out a pouch of tools and began to work on modifying the frequency wave of her communicator.
Dragonith was pissed off that Roum had just walked away from the battle like that. He noticed that Tethys was having a lot of problems with Andante. He flew over to Andante and asked him if he wouldn't mind going against both of them.
"Fine, just don't expect this to be easy." Andante said with a smirk. This was a bad idea. Immediately Dragonith and Tethys punched him in the stomach. Roum turned her head momentarily to see Dragonith and Tethys punching Andante in the stomach. "Hrm..." She muttered, "Stupid fool..." She was referring to Andante's obvious cockiness. He may have been more powerful then one of them, but together those two over powered him by 38,000. Roum shook her head; she had more then one reason for 'just walking out of the fight'. Contacting home was just one of them, not to mention the fact that Roum was still weak from the crash. She tweaked another knob on her communicator, turned to Dende.
"Brace yourself Taja Dende." She said as she took her own advice. The sound from the Communicator was too high pitched for any saiyan or human to hear, but it was almost deadening to a Namek and Kamajin.
"AHH!" Andante was about to fire a ki blast at his two opponents when the signal went out instead he covered his ears in pain. Linta cocked her eyebrow and looked at the three covering their ears in pain.
"Is.....something wrong?" She asked. Dragonith, Tethys, Thebes, and Linta looked at each other in confusion. Andante turned and glared at Roum, he teleported in front of her.
"What was that for, woman?" He asked angrily. Roum completely ignored the Namek, she tapped the communicator before putting it back on.
"HRM... Wrong tone..." She walked pass Andante without even looking at him, "Perhaps they'll receive the message anyhow..." She walked to the edge of the tower and looked in the direction of where she had sensed a battle about to brew.
"Roum-San," Dende said, "Do you think these friends of yours will be able to help us?"
"In what situation?" Roum asked, "And they are not 'friends' they are allies... and I doubt they many of them will be willing to help Urth, what with its history and all."
"History?" Mr. Popo prompted. Roum raised a brow at the genie.
"Extreme battles... Powerful warriors... SAIYANS..." She turned to Linta and the others. "No offense, but my federation has kept records on many different races, saiyans being one of them..."
"Let me guess." Linta said, "The records are not good."
"Some are... at least from most of the ones that were known to live on this planet... Like Kakarott..."
"So why wouldn't they help?"
"Reports of Cell and other evil powers like him... Buu." Roum went on, "Plus, this is a third class planet, important enough not to allow any one to destroy but not top priority."
"Well, who needs 'em? I mean, look around you! Personally, I think we've got more than enough power here to defeat anything anyone can throw at us." Linta pointed out. Dragonith nodded his agreement.
"As for bad rumors about saiyans....we were created for the sole purpose of helping earth. We're no threat to any other planet." Dragonith said.
"Any power that you feel is probably just that Sonic guy. He's been wandering in and out for the past couple of days." Linta said.
"And the OTHER power?" Roum asked.
"Other power?" Andante asked and then concentrated, "She's telling the truth..."
"Why would I lie?" Roum asked.
"Other power?" Linta glanced over at Dragonith. "Yeah, I felt it. What's the big deal? I could easily take it!" She grinned cheesely.
"That's what you said about Evil Sonic as well, Linta." Dragonith reminded her. Linta sweat-dropped and nodded. Roum brushed a few strands of hair out her face.
"Never underestimate evil." She warned, "It can surprise you at every second and yet still be predictable." Andante thought for a moment; yes, Roum's statement was indeed paradoxical.
**Tethys, my computer says that there's a message from Master Phobos back at the ship.** Thebes told Tethys. Tethys nodded and he looked at everyone.
"Uh...we've got to go back to our ship to check for a message. We should be back soon." He said.
"Well, okay..." Linta said. She then continued their previous conversation. Tethys and Thebes took off toward the ship. They checked the message.
[Tethys and Thebes,
You need to report back to headquarters. We found a lead on where Pierus and Thamyris are headed next. I've got a pretty good assignment lined up for you if you get back in time.
-Master Phobos]
"May as well head back. Pierus and Thamyris probably aren't coming back for a while." Tethys said.
**Right** Thebes agreed. So Tethys and Thebes took off for Achero. The ship takes off and as they blast by the earth, Tethys looks at the screen and thought deeply as he looked at the earth.
"Goodbye, Earth. You're as beautiful as mother said you were." He thought to himself.
~Back at Dende's~
Dragonith, Linta and Andante were all left by themselves. Dragonith was unsure of what to do. Linta was sitting down relaxing. Andante was meditating. Dende went around and healed them all. Dragonith was starting to feel uneasy. He felt one of the power levels in the fight dying.
"Do you guys feel that?!" Dragonith asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Linta asked.
"Yes. The evil power is overwhelming the good one." Andante said.
"I'm going out there. Are either of you guys coming?" Dragonith asked. Before either of them had a chance to answer Dragonith powered up and flew off to the battle. Roum listened from the other side of the tower.
"Why should I help?" She thought,"'This is not my planet... and yet..." She teleported in front of Dragonith. "I shall come too." Linta looked at them quickly.
"Oh, come on! It's just that Sonic guy. I say, if he gets a beating, so be it." Dragonith gave Linta a look. "I'm coming, I'm coming." She sighed.
~ In Space ~
BOOM!
Tethys and Thebes were hurled to the side of the ship.
**What do you mean we don't have any weapons?** Tethys demanded.
**We got one of the ships without weapons! Even if we had weapons, we both haven't been trained on how to use them yet!** Thebes replied quickly. BOOM! They were hit again, and again they fell to the ground.
**What are we going to do?** Tethys asked. Tethys was sending to keep Thebes from hearing the panic in his voice.
**I don't know, Tethys....I don't know.** Thebes replied. Tethys grabbed a hold of the controls and looked at the screen. They were so close to Achero. Tethys put the engines at their max, and they began to pull away from the enemy ship. Another blast hit, and red lights began flashing everywhere. things inside began falling, and the ship stopped working. There was another hit, and Tethys went flying. He heard a bunch of metallic sounds, and the sound of bones breaking, following by the sound of Thebes screaming.
"THEBES!!!!!" Tethys shouted. Thebes was buried under a pile of rubble. He was all bloody, and couldn't move. Tethys raced toward him and started trying to uncover him.
**It's hopeless. Even if you manage to get me out of here, I probably won't survive. Go. Take the escape pod, and leave me. If you stay, you'll die!** Thebes told him.
"No! I won't leave you!" Tethys said, his voice shaking.
"Tethys! You must! Avenge my death! That ship is Pierus and Thamyris's. My death is inevitable, but you can still avenge me! Go, or face death with me!" Thebes said, his words barely understandable. Tethys was surprised for a moment, as he had never heard Thebes speak. Tethys continued trying to save his friend, as the ship continued breaking more and more. Finally, Thebes reached his free hand out and grabbed Tethys's. With his last bit of energy, he pushed Tethys toward the escape pod. A particularly hard laser hit their ship, and Tethys was knocked into the chamber with the escape pod. He, realizing that it was fate that it happen this way, got in and took off.
**Goodbye....brother....** He heard in his head as the pod left the ship. Tethys took one last look at the spaceship, then watched as it was blown up by a final shot from the enemy ship. He wept, the promised himself that he would destroy Pierus and Thamyris one day. The pod zipped through space and finally landed on Achero. Pierus and Thamyris weren't dumb enough to follow it to Achero, so they left him alone for the time being.

The fight with Sonic begins....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linta powered up and Sonic flew at her. She blinked and suddenly had no idea where he was.
**Linta! Behind you!* Linta heard in her head. She spun around and barely blocked the punch that was coming down on her. Sonic threw a kick, and Linta missed the movement entirely. She was barely hurt though.
**Man, he's fast! Good thing his strength doesn't equal his speed!** Linta told Dragonith. Evil Sonic suddenly came up behind Linta and punched her in the back. She groaned and stood quickly, then was shot down again. Linta got in one kick before Evil Sonic kicked her back and blasted her into a mountain.
Dragonith searched frantically for her ki. He could feel nothing. No, it couldn't end this way...Dragonith stepped forward, then, he suddenly felt it.
**Dragonith......help me...** her thoughts were weak. The little guy was stronger than she had thought. That was all the sign Dragonith needed. In a sudden rage, he flew at Evil Sonic and bashed him in the head.
Dragonith looked at Linta, he could barley feel her KI. He spun around and looked at evil sonic.
"You WILL pay for that." Dragonith promised.
"Try me." Evil Sonic sneered. Dragonith ran up to Evil Sonic and acted as if he was going to punch him then slipped between his legs and grabbed him by the neck from behind! Evil Sonic was caught completely off guard by this. But he quickly started elbowing Dragonith. Dragonith let go and fell down as Evil Sonic kicked him in the back. Dragonith got up and blasted a KI blast in Evil Sonics Face. He fell down. Both of them were down. Dragonith got up first, but Evil Sonic got up right after. Dragonith kicked him in the ribs. Evil Sonic countered with a punch to Dragonith's jaw. It went on like this till Evil Sonic caught his foot. He threw him in the air. He blasted a kamehameha at Dragonith. From mid-air Dragonith blasted one back!! They were both blasting each other at full power. You could tell their power was almost EXACTLY the same. Then without warning Dragonith jumped up and punched Evil Sonic in the face. The blasts went through a mountain and Dragonith continued to beat on Evil Sonic!
Evil Sonic couldn't believe that someone with a power level so much lower than his was pounding on him like this. Dragonith was fighting on raw emotion. Evil Sonic then kneed him in the stomach. This winded Dragonith, Evil Sonic ran up and kicked him in the face. Then as Dragonith was getting up Evil Sonic blasted him with a Masenko. The blast sent Dragonith to the ground. Dragonith pulled himself up to his feet and just stared at Evil Sonic. Dragonith and him flew up, high up and started punching each other. Dragonith managed to grab Evil Sonics arm but when he tried to throw him to the ground Evil Sonic held onto his arm. Dragonith then felt an arm slamming into his chest and he was thrown to the ground.
**You....can...do it......Dragonith!** Linta told him. She slowly pulled herself out of the small crater and flew into the sky. She flew a little closer to the fight and saw Evil Sonic punch Dragonith in the gut, sending him to the ground. Linta put her hand straight in front of her and slowly moved her thumb across her hand.
She shot the blast. The Big Bang connected, and Evil Sonic fell to the ground. Linta, having used the last of her energy in that blast, fell to the ground. Dragonith picked up Evil Sonic by the throat and glared at him. He threw him to the ground and prepared to kill him.
"NO!" yelled Sonic. Sonic attacked his evil clone right in front of Dragonith and went into a fist fight. Sonic was getting pretty beat up. Evil Sonic was too powerful. Then, Sonic started to notice something. Evil Sonic's moves were very predictable. "Of course! We must both share the same minds!" thought Sonic. Sonic started to use this to his advantage. He sensed that his clone would use a Ki blast, so Sonic quickly flew out of the way.
"What the?" exclaimed evil Sonic, and he was slammed in the stomach. Sonic then sensed that Evil Sonic would fly to the right, so Sonic quickly got there and his clone appeared, he smashed his head. Meanwhile, Dragonith, back on the ground, watched the two fight. He wondered if he should blast the evil clone, but which one was the evil one?
Dragonith slightly pissed off about Sonic taking the fight away from him like that just stared. He was trying to figure out which was evil...he groaned, if only he knew how to use the spirit bomb it wouldn't touch Sonic but would destroy Evil Sonic. Then he got an idea he would watch how both of them fight and react, when he was sure which one was evil he would send a Last Breath at the evil one. The only problem was if he was wrong...
He tried to put that out of his mind. He focused on the fight and noticed that one of them had just been thrown to the ground. The one that was thrown to the ground ran to Dragonith faked a punch and said..."I'm the real one". Something seemed wrong in his eyes though. Then he realized it was a lie. He slammed his forearm into Evil Sonics head and told Sonic to power up for a kamehameha. Dragonith got on the other side of Evil Sonic and started powering up.
"Kaaaameeehaaameeeha!" Dragonith and Sonic shouted in unison. The two blasts crushed Evil Sonic into nothing but dust. He was destroyed by the blast and Dragonith was completely out of energy. He collapsed, now it was just and the two weird looking kids. Linta grinned.
"That wasn't as bad as we thought it'd be..." She mumbled. Dragonith quickly picked her up, and took off toward Dende's. The two weird kids followed behind.
Sonic had stayed behind. He was an independent fighter, yet he wanted to train. Maybe he should roam earth to find some sort of evil to destroy. Sonic may have been good, but he was very blood thirsty and power hungry. He wanted more power. He flew to a desert with plenty of pyramids in it.
"We are too advanced to keep this junk lying around." said Sonic. He picked up the biggest Pyramid and threw it up in the air. He then blasted it with a Kamehameha. He then flew really high. He charged up a spirit bomb and blasted the rest of them.
~Back at Dende's tower~
Dende quickly healed Linta, and then they began trying to figure out what to do next.
"Well, we don't know when those two could be coming back. And they might train." Linta pointed out.
"Thebes and I received commands to stay here and make sure everything is back in order before returning, so we might have some extra time to help you guys train." Tethys said.
"Then it's settled. We train." Dragonith said. Dragonith, Linta, Thebes, and Tethys all talked about what to do. They finally decided on Linta and Dragonith sparring with Tethys and Thebes. Dragonith immediately flew at Tethys and started punching him he was caught completely off guard. Dragonith was quickly wearing him down. Thebes jumped at Linta and kicked her in the stomach. Dragonith was dominating Tethys for the moment and Thebes had the upper hand on Linta. Linta and Tethys were both knocked down at the exact same moment. Dragonith spun Thebes around and kicked him in the face. While he was doing this Tethys got up and elbowed him in the back. Linta kicked Thebes in the ribs. Thethys hit Linta in the back.
Dragonith got back up and started kicking Thebes repeatedly into the ground. Linta went after Tethys.
Linta swung her leg at Tethys, and he caught it in mid-air. He punched her in the stomach, and she kicked him in the leg. Dragonith hit Tethys in the head, and Tethys began fighting him as Linta went after Thebes.
Tethys slammed Dragonith in the head, and Dragonith quickly flew back up at Tethys and kicked him in
~meanwhile off on another planet~
There he stood, another great Saiyan warrior. He had been going around from planet to planet, in hopes of conquering it. Unfortunately, with every vain attempt, he would either be defeated by the planetary forces, or would end up completely ruining the planet itself. Killing off all the life-forms and all the planetary minerals, leaving only a barren land, not even fit enough for the most simplest living things in the Galaxy. He was Verttogo, destroyer of anything in his way.
Verttogo looked out at the landscape of the planet he was on. It was completely wrecked. Yet another planet he had screwed up. It didn't matter now, Verttogo had just found a more suitable planet. Verttogo had no choice but to go to earth. Since that is where a lot of fighters are, he deiced to go kill all of them one by one and rule earth. Verttogo boarded his space pod, set the computer for his destination, and within seconds, the pod blasted from the scene. Verttogo closed his eyes has he awaits his arrival at Earth, and drifted off into a resting period. Verttogo just passed the moon when his computer wakes him up.
"We will be arriving on earth Very soon. Please get ready for impact." Verttogo instantly wakes up from the computer sound and sits up and gets ready to land on what he hopes to be his own planet to rule. Verttogo's pod zooms in through the atmosphere, and a red blemish appears on the outside of Verttogo's pod. Unexpectedly, Verttogo's pod lands right in the middle of an ocean. He opens it up and gets out quickly. He is really mad that his computer messed up the landing spot As he flies toward the mainland. Verttogo flies, and lands in a forest. Verttogo has furious at the fact of the miscalculated dropping point in the water. Verttogo looks around and decides to let out his fury on whatever seemed to be near. The forest he was in seemed to be near enough to him. He fires a blast at few trees causing them to catch fire. The trees fall, and soon a wild fire erupts. By then Verttogo has already flown off and heading to a random direction. While flying along, Verttogo senses a few power levels near by. Verttogo needed a good fight to loosen up, and so he heads towards the ki signatures. He picks up speed so he can get there faster, unknowingly heading towards Dragonith and the others.
~Off in space above Earth~
Roum screamed as she tried to control the falling space ship, "COMPUTER RESPOND!"
"COMMAND. FAILURE." The computer relied.
"What? Computer, Explain the command failure!"
"COLLISION. IN. 10 Seconds. 9..." The computer counted off.
"Computer! Give me manual controls now."
"COMMAND. FAILURE."
"What caused the-..."
"COLLISION. IN. 3... 2... 1."
BOOM! Roum's' ship slides along the planet's soil, until coming to a complete halt. Roum groaned and slowly opened her eyes, "How... How did the... command failure... happen?" She asked herself and looked about the destroyed ship, "Now I'm stuck on a third class planet." Roum grabbed what supplies she needed: a communicator, (It looks some what like a modified scouter), her Halo sword and her hooded cloak. She tapped in the journal command of her communicator and said,
"Cycle 1 of decacycle 5004. I, Pilot one-two-two-seven, have crashed on a third class planet named Urth, (this is how Kamajin's spell the name), because of 'command failure' the cause of this command failure is unknown at this time..." She clicked of the recorder and put on her hooded cloak, "I hope Earthlings are not as ignorant and violent as previous explorers made them out to be..." She said as she left the ruined ship.
"Hmm…" Roum tapped her communicator as it gave her a map of the planet
"Hmmmm...... Should I fly to a near by city?" No. It wasn't worth the risk; who knew what possible powerful enemies where out there? "I shall walk." She said and began in the direction of the City.
~Nearby~
Andante meditated over the same waterfall his father had so many years ago, "Peace… I am one with Nature…" He let his mind slip into the tranquility around him, "Wonderful…" Andante looked exactly like his father, Piccolo, but he wore Nail's clothing; other than a few personality differences and age, one might not have been able to tell the two apart.
"Eh?" Andante opened his eyes and looked to his left, he sensed a new power level. "Hrm…" He muttered as he decided to check it out. Andante had been noticing high power levels left and right lately. They were all no concern of his, but this one...just felt different. Plus it was closer to him, and he was bored. Andante took off toward the power and soon found her. He landed behind her, and she immediately whirled around, sword unsheathed. Andante, ready to ask her what she was doing, suddenly stopped. There was something in her eyes....
"Who..." He stopped, hesitating. "Who are you?" Roum paused and looked up at him and nearly had a heart attack.
"Ack! D'sug ujo yea? [What are you?]" He looked like A Kamajin! He had green skin, patches, Antennae, and pointed ears like she did but he was bald and masculine; Roum pulled out her sword ready to fight. "D'sug we yea dum'g vej'm no? [What do you want from me?]"
Andante blinked at the hooded woman, she language was she speaking? The woman huffed at him and put her sword away, she mumbled some thing in her native language and then tapped a silver object hidden under her hood. She grumbled and tapped it again.
"What are you..."
"Tivo no emo nimago." The woman replied holding up her hand indicating one.
"Her hand!" Andante thought, "Its GREEN!"
"W... What... do you want... with me?" The woman said carefully.
"I want to know who you are." Andante replied.
"Sim ej Voe?"
"Nani?"
"Friend or Foe?" Andante hesitated, could the green handed women be trusted?
"Friend." He said finally.
"Then I am Roum."
"Konichiwa Roum-San..." Andante smirked, "I am Andante." He saw her narrow her narrow her eyes under her hood.
"What race are you?" She asked.
"Namek."
"Felisians keep a close recording on all the races in this Galaxy." Roum replied.
"So you are a 'Felisian'?" Roum shook her head, "Me... No... I am not..."
"Then what are you?" Andante asked, "Let me see your face!"
Roum sighed, "My appearance may startle you..." She reached for her hood, "My race is known as the Kamajin race... or rather the children of Kama..." She took of her hood and Andante gasped. SHE LOOKED LIKE A NAMEK! Her light green skin seemed to go perfectly with her blue hair an pupil-less purple eyes. Her antennae and ears were slightly smaller than his.
"What in... How..." Andante looked for the correct words to say, "Why do you have a scouter?"
"Scouter?" Roum asked, "You mean communicator. It gives me almost any information that I need..."
"I...see..." Andante tried to think of what he should do. Go to the look out? Tell Dende? But he had never spoken with him before, Dende didn't know that he existed! He was the secret son of Piccolo. "I think I should take you to Dende-San."
"Who is this Dende?"
"The Kami of Earth."
"Very well then but if he causes me any threat..."
"Trust me... he won't." Andante assured her.
Roum frowned at Andante, "How do I not know that this is a trick?"
"Feh! You don't." Andante replied with a scoff similar to what his father had used.
"Then I shall not go with you." Roum said simply.
"Why not?!?" Andante demanded.
"My prime directive is to keep safe until I am rescued from this... third class planet."
"THIRD CLASS?" Andante felt himself become angry but he pushed it down.
"Any populated planet not part of the Coalition is either a third class or a secondary class..." Roum replied nochalantly. Andante blinked at her not sure he wanted to ask what a second-class planet was.
"C… come... Dende will know what to do."
"Know what to do about what?"
"Err..." Andante thought for a moment, "About why you look like a Namek."
Roum scoffed, "This is why this planet is third class. Earthlings may have made it to h'luxo [space], but they still do not have enough technology to make themselves second class..."
"What is why?"
"You Earthlings, (and I assume that you were hatched here), seem to believe that there is no one like you." Roum explained, "When in reality there are many races that have a similar biology and anatomy structure as yourselves…"
"Like how saiyans look humans." Andante said thoughtfully.
"Aren't we the smart one?" Roum mocked, "The reason I look like a 'Namek' is because my race and yours obviously evolved in similar ways."
"Oh…" Andante muttered, then realizing that she had mocked him. "Do not mock me! Got it?"
"Understood." Roum replied.
"We still should see Dende."
"D'sy?"
"Nani?"
"Why?" Roum replied, "Why must we see this Dende?"
"Because you are only one of many high power levels I have sensed lately…"
"Did you confront them as you confronted me?"
"No."
"Why is this?"
"Their… Ki signatures didn't feel similar to mine." Andante explained.
"Vimo… Fine… we shall visit this Dende."
~Elsewhere~
Sonic was building up a good deal of sweat as he was training. He was trying his best to quench his thirst for being stronger. Suddenly, just as he was about to blast a nearby mountain to smitherines, Sonic sensed a ki nearby. Sonic instantly stopped himself and went to see what was going on. He stopped someone in his path.
"Have you come here with evil intentions or good? I must warn you, I am an evil hunter, and I can defeat the likes of you very easily." Sonic said to him.
"Don't you talk to me like that! I am Verttogo! Your next ruler!" The warrior said angrily. "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter." said Sonic, "Either way, I will destroy you. Like I do to all evil scum feeders like you."
Verttogo then charged at Sonic, but Sonic was too fast, and he seemed to disappear and reappear behind the evil warrior. He then grabbed Verttogo by the leg, spun him around, and threw him straight into a mountain. Sonic then charged up and fired a Kamehameha at him. Verttogo straightened himself from the toss and tries to dodge the blast but gets hit. He falls to ground but quickly gets up.
Verttogo rubs his head "Who IS this guy?" he says to himself. Verttogo realizes that the guy is stronger. He fires multiple blasts at random directions. A couple of the blasts hit Sonic, and Sonic fall to the ground on his back. Verttogo then flies up above Sonic, and he fires a large ki beam down on him. The beam hits Sonic, but he remains alive. Verttogo then runs into a forest and powers down. Few minutes later, Verttogo walks out of the forest and looks around. He flies up into the air to get a better view of things. Verttogo then resumes his flight toward Dende's.
~Elsewhere~
Roum placed her hood back on and followed Andante towards a tower of sorts; atop the tower she saw four people in mid battle.
"Who are they?" Roum asked as they flew towards the tower.
"I don't know." Andante replied. Roum huffed and grumbled something under her breath.
"Mr. Dende?" Popo said.
"Yes, Popo?" Dende asked patiently.
"There are two people coming our way."
"I know." Dende nodded, "Don't worry." The two strangers landed a few yards away from them.
"Who are you?" Dende asked the Namek, but he then recognized the stature, "You are related to Piccolo aren't you?"
The Namek nodded, "Yes. Piccolo is my father."
"What is your name?"
"Andante." The Namek replied.
"Who is the woman?" Popo asked pointing to the black cloaked woman who had come with Andante; she was watching the battle.
"That is Roum." Dende narrowed his eyes at the hooded woman, there was something about her Ki...
"She is a Kamajin..." Andante explained.
"A what?"
"Roum... take off your hood."
"No." Roum replied simply and continued to watch the fight.
"WHAT?"
"I said 'no'." Roum shrugged, "I agreed to come, not to show myself." Andante growled at the woman, apparently she had been acting this way for a while.
"Roum-San." Dende said calmly, "Please. Take off your hood." Roum turned and glared at him, her eyes seemed to catch the sunlight dispite the hood covering her face. "Vimo..." She muttered and took off her hood just as the woman in the battle (Linta) threw one of the men to the ground.
Roum ignored the shock that was painted on the elder Namek and the genie's faces, instead she turned to watch the four fight again and said, "You DO realize that a fight is occurring near here right?" Roum mentions as she watches the Saiyans and the Acherons fight.
Thebes jumped back up and hit Linta down on the ground. Linta sat up and watched the scene in front of her.
"She looks almost like a Namek..." Linta said. She noticed that the other three had stopped fighting as well. Linta walked over to the two new arrivals.
"Dende....who are these people?"
"Andante and Roum."
"Uh...hi. I'm Linta, this is my brother Dragonith, and these two are Tethys and Thebes." Dragonith looked at Roum, then turned to Andante. He seemed to approve of them. Mean while an idea was forming in his head.
"Ok, let's make teams. Linta, Andante, and I versus Roum, Tethys, and Thebes. You all like that?"
"Yeah, it's good enough." They all agree. They immediately started sparring. Dragonith went straight for Roum and kicked her in the head. Tethys launched himself at Andante and tackled him. Thebes ran up to Linta and fell victim to a kick from the saiyan.
Dragonith grabbed Roum and threw her high in the air. As she was on her way, Dragonith started powering up. Roum saw this coming though and they both blasted ki blasts at each other.
Tethys punched Andante in the head. Andante quickly recovered ran up to Tethys and grabbed him by the neck. Tethys kicked Andante in the stomach to stop him from choking him.
Linta and Thebes were flying everywhere. Neither of them were giving up. Thebes punched Linta in the stomach, but found a ki blast in his chest. He flung it up into the air and kicked Linta. Linta blocked the kick and elbowed him in the back.
Dragonith was slowly overwhelming Roum, he finally sent both blasts right at Roum. They both hit her, but she quickly recovered. She flew down and kicked Dragonith in the head. Dragonith punched her in the back and followed it up with a kick to the back of her head. She was caught off guard badly by this. Andante kicked Tethys in the stomach and Tethys punched Andante in the head.
Andante backed up and yelled, "SOLAR FLARE!" Tethys was blinded and quickly felt a pain in his back then his stomach. Andante was all over him! Thebes had quickly recovered from the elbow and kicked Linta in the face. Linta backed up. She looked at Thebes with some sort of anger. She powered up and flew at him. She tackled him and started punching him. Thebes was being completely overwhelmed!
Dragonith had knocked Roum down and started powering up a Kamehameha. The blast only half hit Roum. She had managed to dodge most of it, and she was only hit in the arm and leg. She fell down. As Dragonith approached her she blasted him in the chest with a ki blast. He went flying. Dragonith and Roum were both down now.
Andante and Tethys kept fighting. Both of them were fighting and neither could get an advantage on the other. Finally Tethys kicked Andante in the stomach and winded him. Linta got off Thebes and threw him up in the air, she started powering up a Big Bang.
Roum growled and got up. She was mad at this Dragonith character. She muttered something in her language and then yelled, "PINGA!" A purple beam shot from her hand, straight for Dragonith. He dodged it barely in time. The area where the beam had hit had melted! Dragonith charged Roum for a punch to the nose but his fist hit a zanzoken image, "Ya!" Roum kneed Dragonith in the small of his neck, momentarily paralyzing him.
"No more sparring." She said in an annoyed voice. She did not need this now; she turned and walked away from him, "I have more important things to do."
Mean while, Andante had recovered and was now firing machine gun blasts at Tethys. As the smoke and rubble cleared, Andante realized that Tethys was nowhere in sight. Tethys appeared to Andante's far right and fired a ki blast, Andante easily dodged it, only to be hit by another one. Roum walked through the sparring field untouched by the other fighters; she was in a very bad mood.
"Where are you going?" Dende asked.
"I have things I must complete." Roum muttered as she walked to the other side of the tower, "Perhaps you can have them check out that battle I sense occurring near here." She then took off her communicator, pulled out a pouch of tools and began to work on modifying the frequency wave of her communicator.
Dragonith was pissed off that Roum had just walked away from the battle like that. He noticed that Tethys was having a lot of problems with Andante. He flew over to Andante and asked him if he wouldn't mind going against both of them.
"Fine, just don't expect this to be easy." Andante said with a smirk. This was a bad idea. Immediately Dragonith and Tethys punched him in the stomach. Roum turned her head momentarily to see Dragonith and Tethys punching Andante in the stomach. "Hrm..." She muttered, "Stupid fool..." She was referring to Andante's obvious cockiness. He may have been more powerful then one of them, but together those two over powered him by 38,000. Roum shook her head; she had more then one reason for 'just walking out of the fight'. Contacting home was just one of them, not to mention the fact that Roum was still weak from the crash. She tweaked another knob on her communicator, turned to Dende.
"Brace yourself Taja Dende." She said as she took her own advice. The sound from the Communicator was too high pitched for any saiyan or human to hear, but it was almost deadening to a Namek and Kamajin.
"AHH!" Andante was about to fire a ki blast at his two opponents when the signal went out instead he covered his ears in pain. Linta cocked her eyebrow and looked at the three covering their ears in pain.
"Is.....something wrong?" She asked. Dragonith, Tethys, Thebes, and Linta looked at each other in confusion. Andante turned and glared at Roum, he teleported in front of her.
"What was that for, woman?" He asked angrily. Roum completely ignored the Namek, she tapped the communicator before putting it back on.
"HRM... Wrong tone..." She walked pass Andante without even looking at him, "Perhaps they'll receive the message anyhow..." She walked to the edge of the tower and looked in the direction of where she had sensed a battle about to brew.
"Roum-San," Dende said, "Do you think these friends of yours will be able to help us?"
"In what situation?" Roum asked, "And they are not 'friends' they are allies... and I doubt they many of them will be willing to help Urth, what with its history and all."
"History?" Mr. Popo prompted. Roum raised a brow at the genie.
"Extreme battles... Powerful warriors... SAIYANS..." She turned to Linta and the others. "No offense, but my federation has kept records on many different races, saiyans being one of them..."
"Let me guess." Linta said, "The records are not good."
"Some are... at least from most of the ones that were known to live on this planet... Like Kakarott..."
"So why wouldn't they help?"
"Reports of Cell and other evil powers like him... Buu." Roum went on, "Plus, this is a third class planet, important enough not to allow any one to destroy but not top priority."
"Well, who needs 'em? I mean, look around you! Personally, I think we've got more than enough power here to defeat anything anyone can throw at us." Linta pointed out. Dragonith nodded his agreement.
"As for bad rumors about saiyans....we were created for the sole purpose of helping earth. We're no threat to any other planet." Dragonith said.
"Any power that you feel is probably just that Sonic guy. He's been wandering in and out for the past couple of days." Linta said.
"And the OTHER power?" Roum asked.
"Other power?" Andante asked and then concentrated, "She's telling the truth..."
"Why would I lie?" Roum asked.
"Other power?" Linta glanced over at Dragonith. "Yeah, I felt it. What's the big deal? I could easily take it!" She grinned cheesely.
"That's what you said about Evil Sonic as well, Linta." Dragonith reminded her. Linta sweat-dropped and nodded. Roum brushed a few strands of hair out her face.
"Never underestimate evil." She warned, "It can surprise you at every second and yet still be predictable." Andante thought for a moment; yes, Roum's statement was indeed paradoxical.
**Tethys, my computer says that there's a message from Master Phobos back at the ship.** Thebes told Tethys. Tethys nodded and he looked at everyone.
"Uh...we've got to go back to our ship to check for a message. We should be back soon." He said.
"Well, okay..." Linta said. She then continued their previous conversation. Tethys and Thebes took off toward the ship. They checked the message.
[Tethys and Thebes,
You need to report back to headquarters. We found a lead on where Pierus and Thamyris are headed next. I've got a pretty good assignment lined up for you if you get back in time.
-Master Phobos]
"May as well head back. Pierus and Thamyris probably aren't coming back for a while." Tethys said.
**Right** Thebes agreed. So Tethys and Thebes took off for Achero. The ship takes off and as they blast by the earth, Tethys looks at the screen and thought deeply as he looked at the earth.
"Goodbye, Earth. You're as beautiful as mother said you were." He thought to himself.
~Back at Dende's~
Dragonith, Linta and Andante were all left by themselves. Dragonith was unsure of what to do. Linta was sitting down relaxing. Andante was meditating. Dende went around and healed them all. Dragonith was starting to feel uneasy. He felt one of the power levels in the fight dying.
"Do you guys feel that?!" Dragonith asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Linta asked.
"Yes. The evil power is overwhelming the good one." Andante said.
"I'm going out there. Are either of you guys coming?" Dragonith asked. Before either of them had a chance to answer Dragonith powered up and flew off to the battle. Roum listened from the other side of the tower.
"Why should I help?" She thought,"'This is not my planet... and yet..." She teleported in front of Dragonith. "I shall come too." Linta looked at them quickly.
"Oh, come on! It's just that Sonic guy. I say, if he gets a beating, so be it." Dragonith gave Linta a look. "I'm coming, I'm coming." She sighed.
~ In Space ~
BOOM!
Tethys and Thebes were hurled to the side of the ship.
**What do you mean we don't have any weapons?** Tethys demanded.
**We got one of the ships without weapons! Even if we had weapons, we both haven't been trained on how to use them yet!** Thebes replied quickly. BOOM! They were hit again, and again they fell to the ground.
**What are we going to do?** Tethys asked. Tethys was sending to keep Thebes from hearing the panic in his voice.
**I don't know, Tethys....I don't know.** Thebes replied. Tethys grabbed a hold of the controls and looked at the screen. They were so close to Achero. Tethys put the engines at their max, and they began to pull away from the enemy ship. Another blast hit, and red lights began flashing everywhere. things inside began falling, and the ship stopped working. There was another hit, and Tethys went flying. He heard a bunch of metallic sounds, and the sound of bones breaking, following by the sound of Thebes screaming.
"THEBES!!!!!" Tethys shouted. Thebes was buried under a pile of rubble. He was all bloody, and couldn't move. Tethys raced toward him and started trying to uncover him.
**It's hopeless. Even if you manage to get me out of here, I probably won't survive. Go. Take the escape pod, and leave me. If you stay, you'll die!** Thebes told him.
"No! I won't leave you!" Tethys said, his voice shaking.
"Tethys! You must! Avenge my death! That ship is Pierus and Thamyris's. My death is inevitable, but you can still avenge me! Go, or face death with me!" Thebes said, his words barely understandable. Tethys was surprised for a moment, as he had never heard Thebes speak. Tethys continued trying to save his friend, as the ship continued breaking more and more. Finally, Thebes reached his free hand out and grabbed Tethys's. With his last bit of energy, he pushed Tethys toward the escape pod. A particularly hard laser hit their ship, and Tethys was knocked into the chamber with the escape pod. He, realizing that it was fate that it happen this way, got in and took off.
**Goodbye....brother....** He heard in his head as the pod left the ship. Tethys took one last look at the spaceship, then watched as it was blown up by a final shot from the enemy ship. He wept, the promised himself that he would destroy Pierus and Thamyris one day. The pod zipped through space and finally landed on Achero. Pierus and Thamyris weren't dumb enough to follow it to Achero, so they left him alone for the time being.
