The Last Warrior

Chapter 16:The End of Slade?


Eve staggered to her feet. She could feel the tears running down her face. She spit some blood out of her mouth and went for another attack. She sent an array of kicks and punches at Android A but he blocked her effortlessly. He then knocked her aside with a backhand, and waited for anyone else to attack. Aiden flew straight at him, but instead of attacking head-on, he zanzozukened behind A and side-kicked him in the head. A did not even flinch from the kick. Instead he grabbed Aiden's ankle and slammed him to the ground. Then, a blast came straight at A's face, he swatted it away, but was attacked from behind by Alex, who attacked A mercilessly. A dodged all of Alex's attacks and kicked him hard in the face. Guldan leapt in and landed a beautiful uppercut on A's chin. A did a few backflips and regained his balance.
"Not bad." A said. He zanzozukened behind Guldan and used both his fists together to knock him into the canyon wall. Glenn and Kado tried a double team on the android, but were put down pretty quick. Janis tried a ki blast, but A dodged and knocked her around for a bit before Nax started a barrage of ki blasts that hit dead on. Nax finished the barrage with his "Energy Body" technique. When the dust cleared, A stood perfectly fine, with a shield of light surrounding him.
"No chance!" He said as kicked Nax into the stone walls of the canyon. "You people are no fun at all. I guess I'll just kill you now." He pointed a hand at Eve and fired. The energy blast was aimed to kill. (Author's note: I don't call the blasts Androids do "Ki blasts" because Androids don't have Ki.) Eve shut her eyes and prepared for impact. She suddenly felt herself being lifted off the ground. She heard an explosion. She opened her eyes; she was in someone's arms. She looked at the black hair, and the dark brown eyes.
"Slade," She said. "Am I dead?"
"Far from it, look" He said pointing down.
She looked down and saw a large crater.
"So...if I'm alive...that means that..." She said as he set her down.
"I'm not dead yet either." Slade said smiling.
Eve was overcome with emotion as she ran over to Slade and hugged him very hard around the waist.
"Oh, Slade! I was so worried." She said with tears in her eyes. She then became aware of what she was doing. She quickly got off him and wiped her eyes.
"Sorry," She said blushing. "It's just..."
"I know." Slade said, also going slightly red.
"You surprise me Saiyan." A yelled up to them. "You're harder to kill than I thought."
"Eve, take the others and get away from here." Slade said very demandingly.
"But why?" Eve asked.
"I'm going to use a technique that I've saved for a last resort." Slade explained.
"But, what is it?"
"I'm not sure. The last time I used it was when I was still a kid. I woke up a few hours later without my tail. But all I know is that it's dangerous."
"But..." Eve began, but Slade was already starting.
Slade concentrated his power and made a small ball of ki in his hand. He then remembered his father's words
"Remember Slade. Only use this as a last resort."
Slade threw the ball into the air. When it had gotten high enough he made a fist and the ball exploded. Slade's tail sprung out and the hairs on it stood on end. Slade could feel something boiling inside him. Anger. Rage. He had to utterly annihilate his enemy.
"Slade! Are you ok?!" Eve said worryingly.
"GET AWAY FROM HERE NOW!!!!" Said a deep voice that wasn't Slade's, even thought Slade had said it. His pupils were missing and his teeth had grown into fangs. He was growing hair all over his body and was growing larger and larger. His eyes turned red and the fur covered his entire body. His clothes had torn off, except for the armor, which had expanded with him. He had become a giant ape. He had only one thought on his mind now.
Kill.
