Chapter 3
Rooks woke up the next day, put on his clothes, stepped out into the sunlight, and topled over from the immense power he sensed. "That evil power...stronger than G-Goku's," he stammered. "I must confront it, and I just hope the others will come as reinforcements."
Rooks followed the power output to a field where a tall, muscular and horned figure found his first Dragonball. "How can it be? You were killed years ago, King Kold," Rooks said.
"Actually," replied Kold, "I teleported to one of my planets, to train and rejuvinate for this day! If you want to interfere, stranger, I shall crush you like the pest you are!"
"Well," stated Rooks, "If you want to fight, let's not say another word. Let the bout BEGIN!" Rooks flew toward Kold, turning SSJ2 and charging energy.
Rooks and King Kold flew towards each other and engaged in a flurry of punches and kicks, blocking and receiving the other's hits. Rooks punched, and Kold blocked. Kold kicked, and Rooks dodged. But only Rooks was panting by the end of the exchange. Rooks flew into the air and fired a Garlic Gun, but Kold responded with a Double Kikou Ha, using one blast to block the Gun, and one to blast Rooks in the face. Rooks dove down, grabbed up Kold by the horns, and slammed him into the ground. Kold dusted himself off and threw a Kienzian at Rooks. He dodged it, but it grazed his right arm and sliced it open. He tore off his right sleeve and wrapped it around his wound. He looked up just in time to see two more Kienzians flying towards him. He flew up higher and used a Renzoku Shire Shire Missile to destroy them, and turned the blast on Kold, who was lost in the barrage of ki. Kold flew up and started another massive fist-fight, but Rooks smacked him down with an overhead axe kick. Kold teleported behind Rooks and smashed him with an overhead smash, sending him plummeting back to the planet. In mid- descent, Rooks used a Kaioken x50, and flew behind him. He pulled out his dagger and lunged at Kold's heart, but Kold dodged and ended up with a sliced shoulder. He turned around and batted the dagger out of Rooks's hand. He flew down and retrieved his dagger, but was frozen in place with a Power Ring. Rooks, having not lost power to a Mega Drain, easily broke free. He took a little time to catch his breath and wonder how Kold could have so much energy. Just as he did, Kold slammed him deep into the ground, making a narrow but deep crater. Kold peered down into it, only to see Rooks's fist as it slammed into his face. Rooks threw Kold, but he regained his stability with a small energy blast. Kold teleported out of the way of a Garlic Gun Rooks threw at him, but Rooks anticipated his destination and pulled the beam onto him. He returned to the ground and engaged Kold in another flurry of punch and kicks. Kold overcame Rooks, and beat him mercilessly. He shot a Double Kikou Ha at Rooks's chest, combining the beams into one. Rooks was barely able to form a Garlic Gun in time to block it. The two blasts fought back and forth, neither gaining the edge for too long. Finally, Kold pulled one beam onto Rooks's face, while the other pummeled hie now-vulnerable chest. Rooks crumpled to the ground.
If I don't go look for reinforcements, Rooks thought, I'll never beat Kold, but if I leave him, he might get the Dragonballs. Rooks flew off, back to Capsule Corp., and prayed the Earth still had a chance.
