Chapter 11
The evil soldiers stopped short once again. Another super saiya-jin? Was the death of the Atlantikan girl a catalyst for this transformation?
"What are you waiting for? Kill them!" Fox roared. They lunged, more afraid of him than their enemies.
Chichi blocked a punch from one and a kick from another. The amazon performed a tornado kick to their heads. One staggered and the other fell. She blocked a ki attack with the ease of years of practice. Her eyes narrowed, anger apparent on her features. The aura, once as red as blood and fire, snapped to a pure white. A loud ki-ai escaped her before she released a massive attack. When the dust and smoke cleared, the two she had been fighting were gone. All that showed where they had been was sorched and melted sands, turned black by the release of such heat.
Fox blinked and growled. That little liar! The Elemental Goddesses of Water and Fire are here! And Aria's power has increased! The white aura symbolizes it!
Goku leapt away form the one attacking him, into the sky. Electricity cracked through his aura as he shot the second level of super saiya-jin. A single, powerful ki sphere condensed in his hand. The warrior threw it down, taking out four more of the dark warriors.
Bardock leapt away from where he'd been to help his mate. His kick knocked one away from Adria, allowing her to force the other away. He stepped to her side, in a guard stance. The soldiers leapt at the saiya-jins again, enraged by the power displayed. A sickening crack startled one soldier before he felt the whole in his armour.
He snarled at Bardock and threw an attack at him. This was easily diverted into the sky and followed up with a ki beam. Before the evil one knew it, he was incinerated where he stood. A nearly identical incineration signaled the end of Adria's opponent.
During the time of that battle, other explosions had rocked the land. The five remaining of the once proud group backed away in fear. These senshi were much more powerful than they were told.
Fox glowered in distaste. He had no use for cowardice. A single flash of his ki disposed of them. "Worthless scum. They were of no use to me if you could frighten them." The oro-jin leapt down, landing in front of his enemies.
"Humans, saiya-jins." He snarled. "You drove my ancestors from the world. The only one we found that held a magical link."
Chichi glared at him. Each person had a life fire, and it spoke to her so the ancient knowledge was hers when she needed it. "There was a reason, oro-jin. Those who linked to the magic were weak of mind. They used the magic darkly, turning creatures of myth into monsters. Repentance was thought of, but you are as suicidally stubborn as they were." Her aura flared, plainly showing her anger.
Fox snarled, bringing his ki up to fighting power. "This is my world!" The force of his power up forced many of the humans off their feet. Those who remained standing raised their ki as well, knowing that it would be needed.
Goten and Trunks glanced at eachother then fused. Gotenks stood where two had previously been. He was a combination of their powers and appearance, which was startling to the oro-jin.
Goku shot into the third level of super saiya-jin, Gohan to the second as well as Vegeta.
Fox flinched inwardly. This was getting more dangerous than he thought. Is the magic worth my life? He shook his head. The magic is everything. Without it, we are nothing! I will not let them win! The oro-jin warrior fell into a guard stance. Golden flecks of light sparkled through it, showing that he called upon the metal of gold.
Gohan tensed, feeling something off. It would take all of them to beat him and save the world. Each held a special ability that was part of the puzzle. Their assault had to be put together just right or it would fall apart completely. By the looks on his friends' faces, he could tell that they also knew.
Fox gathered his ki together, building up an attack. This one should take them out. A loud ki-ai escaped him as he launched it. He was blinded by its light, unable to block it. The warrior shielded his eyes as best he could so his vision would return quickly.
The Z senshi threw up ki shields, as they couldn't evade the blast. Somehow, those single shields merged into one, becoming more powerful than they were alone. They closed their eyes to protect their vision. The attack slammed into the shield and streaks of ki flowed over it in vain attempts to get in. As ki continued to clash against ki, a loud roar spread over the battlefield.
