The Last Warrior

Chapter 17:The Unstoppable Beast


Android A stared up at the monstrous creature with fear in his eyes, amazed that he was actually programmed to feel the emotion. The creature roared ear-spiltingly into the air and A fired a blast at it. The blast hit the beast like it was a pea shot from a slingshot. The ape turned its head and looked at the stunned android.
"Was that your best shot?" The ape said with a dark laugh.
"Why you..." A said as he lept up at the monster. He charged up an energy blast and prepared to fire it when he was smacked back to the ground by the ape's fist.
"This is incredible." Said Aiden as he watched the ape that was Slade fight the android. "Slade's power just went through the roof. He's just toying with that android."
"But his ki has changed." Said Kado. "Before you could feel compassion and love. But now, there's only anger. He's become a killer."
"Oh Slade. What's happend to you?" Eve thought.
A flew up again and was knocked back to the ground by the ape's tail. The beast then went for a punch, but A barely managed to dodge. He then flew up into the air and charged up a massive attack and fired. The energy hit the ape dead on and exploded. The Z warriors that were watching had trouble standing from the force of the blast. A smiled as the explosion faded, but his smile faded as well when the ape lept out of the dust cloud and laughed.
"Pathetic." Said the ape as he knocked A back to the ground with punch that could have leveled a mountain.
A flew backwards through five stone walls before falling to the ground. Before he could get up, the ape was already upon him. One huge foot came crashing down right on A before he could react.
"He's so fast. That's impossible for something that big." Nax commentend.
"Look's like he's won." Alex said.
It was true. The ape lifted its foot and revealed the crushed body of the android. It didn't look like the ape was done though. It lifted the mangled machine off the ground and threw it into the air. The beast then opened its mouth and blasted the android. Nothing was left except for a few charred pieces of metal which dropped back to the ground.
"All Right!!" Glenn yelled. "He did it!!"
The ape heard this and turned around.
"Ah, more victims. It looks like I can even eat these ones." It said with a cruel smile. He then jumped and flew straight at the shocked warriors. It threw a punch at them but they all dodged it quickly. The ape reacted even quicker however and whacked Nax with its tail into the cliff. Kado tried an energy blast to distract him, but it ended up just shifting the ape's focus from one to the other. The ape knocked Kado into the ground with his fist. After coughing up some blood, Kado saw black forming in his vision. He looked up and saw the ape opening its mouth to finish him off.
"SLADE!!!!!!!!" Someone shouted.
The ape turned its head and spotted the shouter, Eve.
"Slade! What's wrong?! Why are you doing this?!!" Eve yelled at the beast.
The ape stared at her, his eyes squinted in malice.
"Slade, don't you recognize us? Don't you recognize me?"
The ape's eyes suddenly widedend as it grabbed its head, howling with pain.
"Eve." She heard Slade's voice in her head. "Help me."
"Slade...how?" She thought.
"The tail...the tail..." Was all she could hear him say. Then she remembered something.
"The last time I used this technique, I woke up later without my tail."
"Aiden!!" Eve yelled. "Cut off the tail!"
"Are you crazy!!?" Aiden yelled.
"Just do it!!" She yelled back.
Aiden decided to listen and concentrated his energy.
"Destructo Disk!!" He yelled as he threw the energy blade from his hand.
The disk flew cleanly and sliced off the ape's tail like a hot knife through butter. It immeadiately stopped its howls of pain and stood compleatly still for a few seconds.
"Uh oh, I think I made him angry." Aiden thought as he watched the ape standing still. But, he quickly relized he was wrong. Almost immeadiately, the ape began to shrink and the fur began to dissapear. Within a few minutes, the beast had returned to the form of Slade. Slade collapsed onto the ground. Aiden covered him up with his discarded trenchcoat and picked him up.
"He's exhausted." Aiden told Eve as she came up looking worried.
"Poor guy." Nax said.
"Let's get him home." said Eve.
