Author's Note:"Thanks for the reviews.More action in this chapter than
there has been lately.As for why Zapland still has so much power,it was the
same with Vegeta.After Babidi was killed,Vegeta could still go Super Saiyan
2.Anyway,enjoy."

Chapter 8:The New Weapon
Ray's Point of View
I watched the Phoenix I had created with my energy fly toward Zapland.Its rainbow wings shimmered in the light of the sun,and with every flap they created sparks.The creature's cry echoed everywhere,making my ears ring.Zapland tried to escape it,thinking he could out run the powerful beast.
"This....is for Trunks,"I whispered,adding more energy to the attack.
Within a few seconds,the mighty Phoenix caught up with my brother and wrapped its wings around him.With a shrill cry,the Phoenix exploded into a brilliant flash of colors.The sun seemed useless with this amazing source of light.It cast thousands of colors across the ground.
I turned my head and spit up blood,"That's a first.I can't even remember the last time I saw my own blood,much less spit it out...."with a frown,I turned to where Zapland had been,"Don't try to trick me,bro!I know you're hiding somewhere,so show yourself!!!"
A green glow surrounded a few rocks.Knowing that he was using his most powerful attack,the Calling of the Spirit,I held out my right palm and smirked.
"You should know by now,blasts have no effect unless I don't see them coming,"I said.
The green energy shot out and connected with my palm,only to be absorbed.A green glow traveled through to my left arm,ready to be fired back.But I noticed an energy behind me,so I held the energy in.
The sound of a fist cutting through the air reached my ears,giving me time to dodge.I kicked Zapland in the back,sending him a few yards away,and released the blast I had absorbed.The explosion that happened blew my hair back,but there was no damage to either of us.From the lack of power,I knew that he had planned to use it as a distraction attack.
Having recovered from the attack,Zapland flew at me.I dodged one of his punches and only succeeded in getting kicked in the abdomen.With much effort,I caught his next kick and squeezed his ankle as hard as possible.The sickening sound of bones breaking caused me to smirk.But there was something scary about it.
I wanted to do MORE....
With a shout of anger,I kicked him in the side of the head.He was sent flying through the air.I quickly followed and slammed him towards the ground.An energy blast slowly followed him and created an explosion upon contact.What I hadn't expected was Zapland appearing behind me.He grabbed my arms almost the exact way I had grabbed Mirai's eight years before.
"Trunks told me of the time you ripped Mirai's arms off....He could regenerate...But you cannot,"he snarled.
I cried out in pain as he pulled with all of strength.Several sharp blows to my back made it worse.Knowing I wouldn't be able to escape,I clenched my teeth and closed my eyes,bowing my head at the same time.
"So,you passed out....It will not be any fun to kill you when you cannot feel pain,but it will have to do,"Zapland growled.
I was slammed into the ground and beaten some more.My body wanted to cry out,but I suppressed it.As my brother lifted into the air,I could feel his energy being concentrated onto one point,an obvious sign of an energy blast.Not wanting to feel even more pain,I opened my eyes and rolled just in time to avoid a blast that would have pierced straight through me had I not moved.
"Nice trick,brother.But it will not save you for long!!"those words were followed by a boot coming into contact with the side of my face and me sliding across the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!FOOL!!Give up while you still can!"Zapland exclaimed.
I started to push myself up.Blood trickled from my mouth onto the ruins of the city that was now destroyed.My body started to shake with anger.My own brother had killed my best friend,and was now in the middle of killing me....And he was ENJOYING it.
"For what....you did....to Trunks....I'll never forgive you....And now...."I trailed off,slowly getting to my feet,"You are going to PAY!!"
With renewed strength,I flew forward and drove my knee into his stomach.As he doubled over,I flipped backwards and kicked him into the air.Quickly following him,I drove my fists into his back and sent him back to the ground.Then,I fired a blast and flew behind it.As it mad contact,my foot did the same.The ground crumbled a bit,creating a crater around us.
"Not only did you kill Trunks,Jessica,and Shana....But you even killed the people near them!Even children were your victims!What about Bra,Dart's daughter!?Did you even THINK about what you were doing!!!?"I demanded.
"Ha....ha....ha....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
My eyes widened as the Majin symbol glowed.I watched in horror as his energy raised and threw me back.Another crater was formed when I landed in the dirt.Now on his feet again,despite the ankle I had broken,Zapland walked towards me.
"I never wanted to kill you,I only wanted to cause you pain.How dare you be stronger when I am the older brother!?You humiliated me every time you transformed.Your power is unimaginable,I will give you that.But now,you are NOTHING!!!!"he shouted.
"I didn't know that you were weak enough to be controlled.Do you really think that you can beat me?....Maybe you can,truthfully.But I have something that you don't anymore,"I stated,jumping to my feet.
"And what is that?"he asked.
I smirked and snapped my fingers,"A SWORD!!!"
A large blade appeared in my hand and I stabbed outward.Zapland managed to dodge to the side,only to get slashed across his abdomen.
"How!!The Ultimasamune was placed in the ground where you destroyed Mirai!!"he exclaimed.
"This isn't the Ultimasamune.Heh...This is the Excalibur,"I said,"It was in the Dimension of Dragons and I was the first to wield it in billions of years.It was forged by one of the Holy Ones and set there to symbolize peace between Holy Ones and Dragons.Despite many protests,we all knew it would have to be used eventually...."
"Impossible!It is supposed to be one of the heaviest things in the Universe,and yet you hold it as if it were a feather in your hand!"he pointed out.
"Pretty cool,huh?"I smirked,"Let me show one of its abilities!But be careful...It's sharp!"
