The Last Warrior

Chapter 20:The Warrior's Rage


Anger. Slade had felt it before, but never at this kind of intensity. His eyes were burning, his mouth was dry, his hands were shaking, he felt like he was going to explode. He turned his head to look at Eve, who was now being helped by Aiden, Nax, and Alex. They had covered her wound but she was still unconcious, no one was even sure if she was still alive. The sight made Slade's anger grow even larger, so did his power. The sky grew darker than it had ever been. Lightning struck violently everywhere. The ground began to shake and crack as debris filled the air around Slade. His eyes were now flashing between green and brown. More noticable however was his hair, which kept turning from black to gold and back again.
Aiden fell backwards from the shaking of the Earth while Nax and Alex were barely managing to stand upright. All three were utterly astonished at this transformation.
"What's going on?" Aiden thought. "Is something wrong?"
Kane and Aragog looked at the scene with fear. Kane was rooted to the spot with terror. He couldn't believe this, it couldn't be what he thought, or could it?
Slade's pupils had now dissapeared compleately, but his hair kept switching from black to gold. His mind was filled with the thoughts of all the people he had cared about that Kane had killed. His mother, his father, his brother, and now, Eve. All four of them had died trying to protect him. Why? Why was his life worth so much to them? He had failed them all, failed to protect them when he should have. The thought infuriated Slade so much that his ki flared brighter and more violentely then before. Why did he keep losing people?!?!?! He could feel something slipping...slipping...slipping...
"This...this can't be!" Kane screamed. "This can't be happening!"
Slade's hair turned gold.
"Master, what's going on...WHAT IS HE?!?!?!" Aragog exclaimed.
Slade's hair turned black again.
"He's a..."
Back to gold.
"A..."
Black.
"A...A SUPER SAIYAN!!!!!!!"
With one last feral scream, Slade's ki exploded. A blinding white flashed deprived everyone of sight for a few seconds. When it was clear, Slade stood there, floating above a crater, his hair gold, his eyes bright green, and his ki flaring a brilliant gold. He stood looking at Kane and Aragog with contempt in his eyes but a very expressionless look on his face.
"No...it can't be. A Super Saiyan. It's not possible." Kane kept repeating. Aragog looked at his master, then at the golden-haired young man. His ki flared up and he launched himself at Slade.
"NO ARAGOG, HE'S A SUPER SAIYAN!!" Kane yelled. Aragog didn't listen.
"I don't care how strong you are, you're no match for me." He yelled as he flew. He raised his fist in preparation for an attack, but before he could connect it, Slade reacted.
WHAM!!!
Everyone observed the grim sight, Aragog floated there with his arm still raised, but not moving. Slade's arm had pierced straight through his body and out the other side. Slade withdrew his arm and kicked Aragog up into the sky, zanzokened behind him, and knocked him back to the ground with one punch. Aragog hit the ground hard, his impact making a crater. Slade then pointed his hand straight at Aragog, his ki flared up and he shouted,
"BIG-BANG ATTACK!!!!"
The attack hit its mark with deadly accuracy and the explosion was enormous. Aiden and the others managed to get themselves and Eve to safety in the air. The looked down at the clearing dust and the newly made crater in the Earth's surface. Aragog was no more. Kane's expressions turned from extreme fear to anger, although the fear was still there.
"Why...you..." Kane said throught clenched teeth.
Slade landed back in his former postion. Aiden, Nax and Alex were dumbstruck. Slade then spoke.
"You guys, take Eve and get out of here. She needs help." His voice was the same, but it was much more commanding.
"But Slade..." said Alex. "It dosen't even look like she's breathing."
Slade turned slightly and looked at them, he put his hand up and pointed his palm at them. A small golden blast went straight at them and hit Eve. Instead of destroying her, however, it blast made a golden light surround her. After a few moments, Eve breathed in sharply.
"My God." Alex said.
"Now go!!! Take her to the hospital, that energy I gave her will be for nothing if you don't hurry." Slade said.
"Right Slade." said Aiden. He took Eve in his arms and, with the rest of them, flew off to the hospital. Slade looked straight back at Kane with the anger burning in his eyes. Kane returned the icy stare, although Slade could sense how scared he was.
"It's time for round two." Slade said.
