The Last Warrior

Chapter 22:Overtime


The blue of the Kamehameha and the dark purple of Kane's attack pushed on each other with incredible force. Both Slade and Kane were pushing themselves to the limit, neither one gaining much dominance over the other for long. Slade then pushed himself higher and the Kamehameha increased in size. Kane did the same for his beam. The light that was radiating for the attacks was intense. As if by vacuum, debris from the fight was being sucked in to the point at which the attacks met. Even the air seemed to be pulled toward it. Slade pushed himself even higher, his beam growing larger. Kane again did the same.
"This is stupid." Slade thought. "This could go on forever."
"It will if that's all the power you have boy!" Said a familar voice in his head.
"Vegeta?" Slade said.
"That's right." Said the Saiyan prince. "Come on Slade, this can't be all of your strength."
"You need to release it all Slade, remember everyone that he's killed, everyone that has been hurt by his actions. Use that as your power!" Said Goku.
"I don't know if I have any left!" Slade said.
"Of course you do, I know you better than anyone bro. You've tapped into the power you need to kill that monster for good." Aaron said.
"Aaron, are you sure."
"Of course he is, and he's right. You have the power to take him out, SO DO IT!!!" Vegeta answered.
Slade raised his ki higher and higher, he was starting to overtake Kane. Kane saw this and pushed himself higher. The became almost equal again, Slade having a slight advantage.
"Its...still...not...working." Slade said, trying to stay focused.
"Remember us son." Said his Father.
"Yes Slade. Remember your father, remember me, and Aaron." Said his Mother. "Remember Eve."
"Eve..." Slade said to himself. He felt the burning rage rise in him again, he raised his power so high that Kane's blast disentigrated and Kane barely managed to avoid it rushing at him. The attack then exploded and sent Kane flying to the ground. Slade stood catching his breath and looking at the terrified Kane. Kane quickly sat up and tried to run. He tripped, looked back at Slade, and flew away.
"Where do you think you're going!!!!" Slade yelled. He grabbed his sword, unsheated it, and hurled it like a javelin straight at Kane. The sword pierced Kane right through the back and came out through his chest. He fell straight back to Earth and Slade flew over to him. Slade pulled his sword out of Kane's body and kicked him over. Kane looked at Slade with an utterly terrified look. Slade raised his sword, Kane closed his eyes just as Slade brought it down. Kane opened his eyes, he wasn't dead. He looked to his right and saw that the sword was a millimeter away from his right temple. Slade picked the sword up and looked down upon Kane with a look of satisfaction.
"You know, there wasn't a day since you killed my parents that I didn't dream of this. You, lying at my feet, beaten, bloody, and terrified. This was the part of my dream that I would cut off your lousy head. But, now that I can," He sheathed his sword. "I find I don't want to anymore. I think I'll let you live in fear that I'll come back and finish the job and see how you like that lifestyle." He turned to leave. "So long Kane." He started walking away.
Kane was furious.
"You...stupid...SAYAIN!!!!!!" Kane screamed as he raised his hand to fire a blast. But before he could, his hand, along with the rest of him, was blasted out of existence. Slade lowered his hand, his ki flaring again.
"Bastard."

Kane's men had been watching from afar and had seen the death of their master. They were compleately dumbfounded. When the shock of what they had seen had worn off, all that was left was anger. They all rushed out of the castle and charged at Slade. He saw them coming and floated up in the air. He could sense their feelings, their sadness, their confusion, their anger. There was only one thing he could do. He raised his hands to the sky and began powering up. His ki made a bright golden ball around him. Slowly, the ball began to contract. Slade stuck his hands together at the wrists in a horizontal fashion, (rather than the vertical of the Kamehameha). Kane's men were coming closer. Slade pushed all the power in front of his hands. He could feel tears running down his face as he thought about what he had to do.
"Forgive me." He whispered. He then shouted,
"FINAL FLASH!!!!!!"
The blast tore through the approaching soldiers and hit Kane's palace. The explosion destroyed it and all the soldiers within and out, in a 2 mile radius. Slade protected himself with a shield of his own ki. He took no pleasure in what he had just done. He knew the feelings of the soldiers all to well. After the dust had cleared, Slade surveyed the crater where Kane's base had once stood. His hair turned black again, and his eyes changed back to. He immersed himself in his ki and flew off for town.
