Chapter 5-Mortal Combat
The demon advanced on Vegeta at an incredible speed. He threw a ki blast at it. The demon moved aside as the shot glazed by it and began running on all fours on the wall. Before Vegeta could charge another shot, the demon pounced on him, sending him to the ground with the creature on top, it's head 6 inches from his face. It was hissing at him while drool poured out of its mouth like a running faucet, onto Vegeta's armor. The demon exposed 2 sets of teeth that were about to tear into Vegeta's flesh. Vegeta threw a right hook that sent the demon screeching off him. He sprang to his feet and looked over at the creature in shock. The blow he delivered would have knocked Goku out cold, even in SSj form, but the demon had not even been phased! What the hell was this thing? Vegeta had never encountered anything like it. It sprang at Vegeta and slashed him across the chest. The recovery time of the demon threw Vegeta off guard, and he staggered back. Vegeta then felt something he hadn't felt in years. Searing, raw, pain. He put his hand to his chest, and came back with blood. The sonofabitch made him bleed!!
"GATLING GUN!!!!"
He hit the demon head on, and it exploded. It was over. Now to settle the score with Goku. But he was with 2 other demons. Fine. He would kill the demons. Then Goku. But then Vegeta felt a warm liquid on his shoulder.
"hhhisssssss"
Vegeta spun around quickly. Another demon was standing full above him, exposing its 2 sets of teeth. The inner set lashed out at him. He moved aside, kneed it in the stomach and brought his elbow down on it's back. As it went down, Vegeta felt something scrape against his back, once again causing great pain. It was the demon's tail. Vegeta spun around, grabbed the tail with both hands, and ripped it off the demon. The demon began shrieking and squealing. Some of the blood from the tail managed to get on Vegeta's chest and left arm. His armor began to smoke. Then it reached his skin.
"GGGHHHYYYYYAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" This was pain that of which Vegeta had never felt before. He fell to the floor. The demon's blood was acid. It was burning the flesh clean of his arm. Vegeta fought the pain and looked up at the demon. It had already recovered from having it's tail amputated, and was getting ready to charge him. He had to do something, now! Vegeta used his last burst of energy and preformed 3 back flips, launching himself in the air on the final flip. While still somersaulting in the air, he shot a strong ki blast at the demon. It burst into chunks of flesh and bone, the ground around it now noticeable hissing and sizzling. Still fighting the pain of the acid burn, Vegeta went off in the direction the other demon had taken Goku on foot. Just as he got around the burning bodies of his first 2 victims, something came from the wall and bashed Vegeta through the opposite wall, back into the main room.
This was a nightmare. Vegeta skipped several times before stopping face first on the floor. He looked up. Another demon came from the ruble and was charging him on fours. Just as it was about to strike, Vegeta brought his leg around and sweepped the demon off its feet. It flew over his head and hit the wall behind him. He noticed that he kicked up a pipe. Vegeta did not use much weapon training, but he was very skilled and agile with the staff. He grabbed it in mid air and kicked up. The pipe was about 7 feet long, so now he had range on his physical attacks. He twirled it in between his fingers and hands to warm himself up. He held the pipe in both hands and waited for the demon to get back to its feet. Then he heard more hissing coming from behind him. 2 more demons decided to join the party.
It's game time.
The one that had attacked earlier rushed Vegeta. He hit it hard with the right end of the pipe. It spun it the air several times before hitting the ground. Vegeta jumped away from its tail as it spun. The other 2 were closing in. Vegeta drove the left point of the pipe into one of the advancing demon's chest as it came in reach. He used the piped, stuck in the demon's chest, as leverage, and swung it around, giving himself extra oomph as he kept his hands on the pipe, jumped into the air, and kicked at the other approaching demon. He got nothing but air. The demon ducked then jumped onto Vegeta's back. They rolled onto the ground, Vegeta's left hand still gripping the pipe. The demon sank its teeth into his back left shoulder. Vegeta yelled in pain. He turned around and got a brief glimpse of the demon's fangs, dripping with his own blood. He spun onto his back so that the demon was on the ground. He planted the pipe into the ground and pole-vaulted himself off the ground; shreds of armor and flesh tore of him as he realized the demon had a grip on him. The demon he drove the pipe into jumped at him while he was still in the air. Vegeta's reflexes kicked in and he snapped both of his legs into a kick just as the demon came in range. It flew backwards and landed on its back just as Vegeta touched down. The demon that bashed him through the wall was now coming up behind him. Vegeta heard it coming and did a spinning roundhouse kick. He nailed it in the head and it went to the ground. Vegeta fallowed it. He jumped onto the demon's back and drove the pipe into its spine with all his might. It screeched loudly as it died.
Just as the other 2 were approaching, Vegeta planted the pipe into the ground and made his way to the top. As the demon that bit his shoulder came up, he took the pipe off the ground and brought it down on its head hard. It collapsed as Vegeta landed on his feet, pipe in both hands. He heard the other demon approaching. For no reason what so ever, he remembered Yamcha's old profession and slid his hands to the bottom of the pipe. He picked one foot up and swung around with all his strength. He connected with the demon's head and split it in half. He did an aerial back flip to avoid the acid flow.
When he landed he almost immediately felt something graze the bone in his left shoulder. He jumped back and grabbed it. A sea of red was flowing between his fingers. The last remaining demon must have slashed him. Speaking of which, he looked up and it was coming at him on all fours. He held the now red pipe in both hands. It learched its tail up to attack. Vegeta took the pipe in his good hand and charged. The joust had begun. Rushing towards the demon, he pondered the best attack. Just as they were about to meet, Vegeta ducked and rolled just as the demon snapped its tail at his chest, and swung the pipe at its tail, severing it. The demon recovered quickly, spun around, and brought its claw down on Vegeta, but he somersaulted on the ground backwards and it hit nothing but the floor. Vegeta got to his feet, so did it. Vegeta kicked it in the chin and nailed it with a round house. Vegeta now realized that his pipe was now 3 feet long and had melted to a point. He brought the pipe up it one hand and stared the demon down. It opened 2 sets of teeth and hissed at him.
"Yeah, fuck you too," Vegeta screamed at it and threw the pipe at the demon's mouth. It took its head off and stapled it to the wall 10 feet behind him.
Before others could come, Vegeta flew as fast as he could through the front entrance and over the front gate. He landed a mile away and fell to his knees. He was breathing heavily, holding his chest and left shoulder at the same time. He looked straight down and his eyes widened. He was soaked in red.
Vegeta had been through Hell and barely survived.
