************************************************************************
"Tarlin."
"Tarlin."
"I SAID, WAKE UP TARLIN!"
Tarlin slowly opened his eyes to see what was wrong. As he looked around, he remembered the fight with the banished ones. "Where are they," asked Tarlin.
"They must still be on the surface," said Shanok.
"What do you mean surface," Tarlin asked.
"If you haven't noticed," said Bryis, "We're in the ruins."
They were right; Tarlin could see some things that looked familiar. But, Tarlin had never been in this chamber before. "What level are we on?"
"I think that we're on the bottom level," said Lucan, "So we don't know exactly know how to get out."
"Why can't we just fly out," said Shanok.
"You idiot," remarked Damix, "They're probably waiting for us to do just that."
"So we should be looking for another way out," said Tomack, "Maybe a new set of armor to."
When Tomack said that, everyone looked and saw that their armor was almost completely shattered. So, they began to walk through the corridors. Eventually, they came to a dead end. The strangest thing about it was that it had a saiyan and tuffle symbol on it. "Guess we have to turn around," said Lucan.
"Not for long," said Bryis, "Let's bring this house down."
As Bryis charged the wall, everyone scrambled to get away. When he hit the wall, they covered their heads, dreading the worst. When the ceiling didn't collapse, relief swept across them. They all looked at Bryis, who was doing a victory pose. Suddenly, they all fell down face first. "You could have killed us all you idiot," said Tarlin, "Did it ever occur to you that this place is ancient?"
"Yes," said Bryis, "but we're still alive, plus we have a new path to walk through"
While he was saying that, a huge sweat drop appeared at the back of Tarlin's head. "Why do I even bother," said Tarlin, "Oh well, let's go."
As they walked down the hall, they came to yet another dead end. So, just to be sure they all held Bryis back. "Don't worry guys," said Tarlin, "This one's a door."
When Tarlin opened the door, everyone's jaw hit the floor. On that room were six of the best looking suits of armor that they'd ever seen. As well, each was the same color as one of the group's previous armor. The strangest thing was that the room was obviously ancient, but the armor was extremely advanced. But they didn't really care, they needed new armor. When they finished putting the armor on, the wall that the armor was hanging on opened up. There they saw something that would probably help them against those two-tails, blades.
There were sic placeholders, but only five weapons; a bardiche, a bastard sword, a lance, and two long swords. Each weapon had a medium sized jewel where the handle met the blade. The bardiche possessed a yellow gem, the bastard sword had a blue gem, the lance had a white gem, one long sword had a black gem, and the other had a green one.
All but Tomack seemed to be drawn to a weapon. Bryis to the bardiche, Lucan to the lance, Shanok to the bastard sword, Damix was drawn to the dark long sword, and Tarlin went to the other. As Tarlin looked at it, he took in almost every detail. The blade was slightly longer than his arm and seemed to almost glow, despite the darkness. even it's hilt seemed to have a strength all its own; the handle could easily fit both of Tarlin's hands and an inch from both sides of the blade was what appeared to be a pair of almost dragon-like fangs. As Tarlin reached out for the sword, he could almost feel its energy. When he grabbed its handle, he seemed to go into a trance.
"Tarlin? Tarlin, you in there? Hello," asked Damix.
"Huh? Oh, hi guys," said Tarlin.
"What happened," asked Shanok.
"I have no idea," said Tarlin, "But, I do know that these weapons could help out."
So, they decided to go back to where they landed and fly out. When they got their, they could see that it was night time. "Let's kick some two-tail ass," said Tarlin.
Once they reached the surface, they found just what they expected, the banished ones. At first, they went unnoticed. Then, the lead two-tail saw them and said, "So, you guys are back for some more, huh? Well bring it on."
After that, Tarlin and the others readied their newfound weapons. As they began to charge them, a voice came out of nowhere. "Initiating battle mode."
All of a sudden, the armor seemed to come to life. In no time, the armor had covered their bodies. The gloves and boots had even become more metallic. The last thing to be covered was their faces. Their hair was the only thing left uncovered. A visor came up and began to show them their armor's schematics, it turned out that the change was caused by a sudden rush of adrenaline. "Scanning armors," said the computer, "Armor 01 currently possesses long sword 1, the Sword of Chaos. Armor 02 currently possesses long sword 2, the Blade of Darkness. armor 03 currently possesses the bardiche, Gaia Breaker. Armor 04 currently possesses the lance, Raigeki. Armor 05 currently possesses the bastard sword, Poseidon's Fury. Armor 06a does not possess a weapon. Cannot detect Armor 06b."
"What do you mean 6b? We only saw six armors and that's seven," said Tarlin.
"Armor 06b was created as a replacement for any of the other armors," said the computer.
"OK, can you tell me what this thing can do then."
"All armors contain high impact metals, a coolant system, and your visor doubles as a scouter system."
"A scouter? Well that's all good, but what about weapons," asked Tarlin.
"You are holding it," said the computer, "The Sword of Chaos is one of the most powerful of the six weapons. It has two main abilities in both defense and offence. The defense mechanism is an energy shield, otherwise known as the Chaos Barrier. The offensive ability is a blade of pure energy known as the Chaotic Slash."
"Enough waiting one-tails, it's time to fight," with that the lead two-tail fired a huge energy beam at them.
Tarlin instinctively held up the sword, hoping that the sword would at least block some of the blow, when the beam hit some invisible wall. As they all looked on in amazement, Tarlin noticed a green aura where the attack had stopped. He looked at his sword and saw that its jewel was glowing. He looked at the green aura again and whispered "Chaos Barrier."
"Well its defense is pretty good, but let's test its offense," thought Tarlin.
So, Tarlin lifted the sword above his head, the edge of the blade facing his enemy, and channeled some energy through the weapon. He began a downward slash while yelling, "Chaotic Slash."
A bright emerald green blade of energy shot out of the sword towards the two-tailed oozaru. As it approached the two-tail, it began to spin in a circular pattern. The oozaru tried another attack, but when it hit the energy blade, it was split in two. He could only look on in horror as the blade split through his waist. As his upper and lower body fell separately to the ground, he began to revert into his humanoid form.
Tarlin knew that the two-tail would fight until he was dead, so Tarlin dashed at the halved banished one. He readied his blade and leapt into the air and as he landed, he impaled the sword in his opponent's skull. Tarlin smiled as he heard the cracking of bone from his enemy. Assured of the kill, Tarlin withdrew his blade from his opponents head and faced the other two-tailed oozarus. "Anyone else want some?"
He could see it in their eyes, they
wanted him dead. The two-tails began to
charge up humongous attacks. So, Tarlin
held up the Sword of Chaos, but this time he was concentrating on the area that
he wanted the barrier to protect. The
five two-tails let their attacks go, only to have them uselessly hit the Chaos
Barrier. Tarlin looked at them with a
smirk on his face and said, "My turn."
he dashed to the nearest one,
flew into the air, and lobbed his head off.
When Tarlin landed, he noticed that three of them were in a straight
line. So, he used the Chaotic Slash and
split them right down the center. He
looked over at the last two-tail and noticed that he was trying to get
away. "No way! It's time for you to die."
The oozaru began to run away from the battlefield. Tarlin dashed towards him and cut both of his tails off. That stopped him in his tracks as he began to shrink down to normal size. Tarlin sheathed his sword and began his patented technique. He placed his hands in the clam position perpendicular to the ground and began to charge it up. The energy began attacking the former two-tail. Tarlin pulled his arms back and let the attack loose as he yelled, "Arctanian Blaster."
After the energy dissipated, he began to walk towards his friends, when he heard his computer say something. "Armor 06b detected. It currently possesses the broad sword, Ragnarok's Bane."
Tarlin turned around and prayed that it wasn't who he thought it was. The person that he saw was huge; he was at least seven feet tall and had a huge build. The man also had two tails. Tarlin knew only one saiyan like that, Artock. "So, you need a weapon just to beat the weakest of us, eh Tarlin."
"I see you're into stealing one-tail relics Artock," said Tarlin.
"Well, you can have it. If you can lift it up that is."
With that, he threw the blade at Tarlin's feet with the hilt pointing in the air. Tarlin wrapped his hand around the handle and began to pull at it. The blade just wouldn't budge, no matter what he did, the blade wouldn't come out. "It seems that you're too weak Tarlin. Why don't I show you how it's done."
Artock looked at the weapon and grabbed hold. With one quick pull, the weapon was out of the ground. "Now you see the true power of the two-tailed saiyans Tarlin."
"I swear it Artock, that it will be by my hands, and my hands alone, that will kill you," said Tarlin.
"We'll see child. We'll see."
After that, Artock flew off towards the wastelands. Tarlin looked on with pure rage as Artock flew away. His friends walked up to help. "Don't worry Tarlin," said Bryis, "We'll get him soon and when we do, we'll have proven that no one can defeat the saiyan race."
"You know what," said Tarlin, "I don't think you know just how right, and wrong, you really are."
