Chapter thirty-six - Da'kar's ultimate attack
Gox jumped back causing Gotenks fist to smash into the glass. The fusion turned toward Gox and frowned. "Hey now! Get back here!" he cried and charged after him. This time Gotenks's fist connected with Gox's head and the two locked into close combat. Gotenks was obviously winning since he was the only one landing any blows. After a few moments Gox pulled back panting and Gotenks landed with a big grin on his face.
"That's impressive." Mirai said. "I knew Gotenks was strong but I hadn't expected him to be this much stronger than me."
Gox looked back at Fortan and his team. "Hey, this isn't fair! It's two people!"
Fortan shook his head. "He's only one person, it's only a fusion like Glacier, only with inferior parts."
Gotenks turned his own glared toward Fortan. "Who you calling inferior!" he cried putting his hands on his waist.
Gox used the distraction to his advantage and charged in grabbing Gotenks by the arms and flying straight up into the air. "Hey!" Cried Gotenks. "No fair, I wasn't ready! Time out!"
Gox laughed. "Sorry kid, no time outs." He turned and started diving down toward the ground stopping just a few feet up and releasing Gotenks. The fusion slammed head first through the glass, about a hundred feet of sand, and then the solid rock below it. After a moment Gox called down, "Hey, I know you're down there! Come on up!"
Suddenly the glass cracked and the sand began to swirl. It rose higher becoming like a twister. A golden light flared to life in it's center brighter and brighter. Then suddenly the light exploded through the swirling sand causing the twister to exploded revealing a very upset Gotenks.
"Ready to give up yet kid?" Gox asked mockingly.
The fusion laughed before suddenly vanishing. A moment later Gox slammed into the ground unmoving and Gotenks powered down landing back with the others. Mirai blinked.... "What just happened?" he asked looking at the others.
Hiroshi smiled. "They won, six kicks to the face and an elbow to the head."
"Now that the wimps are out of the way." Java said in a deep voice stepping forward. "It's my turn to fight, so whoever feels like dieing just step up."
Da'kar walked forward removing his wristbands and boots and dropping them on the ground behind him. Java laughed. "So the puny prince wants to take on big bad Java? You're barely taller than my knees." he said grinning. "Come on then, meet your doom against the All Mighty Java!" he said striking a pose to show off his bulging muscles.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Da'kar's red aura flared to life as he began to power up, the sand blowing out from around him, his hair flapping around wildly. His muscles built quickly in size nearly quadrupling in bulk. He grew just over a foot taller. Then the aura deepened in color and he was almost completely hidden from view. There was a flash of blue in his aura, then another of white. They could all feel his power pushing against some kind of barrier trying to break through, it was Vegeta who realized what was happening.
"He's transforming." he said with a grin. "I hadn't expected that, I just knew he was able to beat Gotenks in training."
Hiroshi nodded. "Da'kar is the only Neo Sai-jin who can transform. We've all got the potential, but he was born with the power. Probably since both our parents could transform when they had him."
Da'kar's aura flared larger and began to shift from it's deepened red to a light red again. Then there was a flash of red light and the transformation was complete. Da'kar stood obviously changed. His eyes had remained the same but his hair was longer, hanging in tendril like clumps over his shoulders. His aura was the same red color but now it was laced with blue and white like hot flame. The massive bulk of his muscles from his previous powered up state had shrunk slightly, though they were still larger than they'd been before he transformed.
Gotenks stared at him wide eyed, jaw dropping to the floor. "Ah man! That's not fair! He's still stronger than me!"
Da'kar smiled. "Just barely, when on a scale like ours at least. It should be enough to deal with Java though."
The large man laughed. "You over exaggerate your power."
"Let's find out!" Da'kar cried charging in toward the large man. The young warrior was surprised by Java's speed considering his size, but it wasn't enough to enable Java to dodge him. His right fist connected with his jaw. His left foot launched out and slammed into Java's stomach doubling him over. Da'kar did a back flip while floating in the air and kicked the large man over his head and behind him to come crashing down at the feet of the other Z Fighters.
Java pulled himself to his feet and growled. Suddenly he vanished to reappear right in front of Da'kar. The young Neo Sai-jin got a massive knee to his face that sent him flying backwards. Java followed quickly after him and slammed a large fist down into his gut followed by another and then he turned and backhanded him across the jaw sending him into a distant sand dune.
The instant after he hit the sand he was charging back in again. Because of his small size he managed to slip past Java's fist and slam both his feet into the large man's chest. As Java went down he grabbed hold of Da'kar's head. On the way down he spun and slammed the small warrior head first into the ground. Java stood back up grinning but rubbing his chest. "That was easy enough."
Java was pitched forward by a massive energy blast to his back thrown by the still face down Da'kar. Slowly he got to his feet and looked at where the big man still lay. Again he fired an energy blast but Java rolled out of the way and jumped to his feet frowning. He flew in and through a large right hook but Da'kar reached up with on hand and caught it with a thunderous crack.
It was followed instantly by another crack as Da'kar caught his other fist. Fling his arms out and releasing his grip on Java he fired a red blast of energy at the large man's chest knocking him over. Instantly he was over him pounding on him as fast as he could. A moment later one of Java's fists lanced up knocking Da'kar into the air. Java followed quickly after again and stopped just above him. With a quick thrust of his arm he slammed his left elbow into the young warrior's back knocking him into the ground.
Da'kar stood slowly and looked up to where Java grinned. The young prince glared at his opponent for a moment, then relaxed and calmly cracked his neck and worked a few kinks out of his arms. Suddenly he launched into the air and the two began to exchange blows but none got through the other's defenses. As they fought they floated lower and lower getting closer to the sand which began to swirl up around them.
The two broke apart and charged each other fists colliding in mid air with a flash and crack. They began to push against each other trying to force the other back but neither budged. Suddenly Da'kar slipped around Java's large arm and kick him in the face then elbowed him atop his head sending him down into the ground. Turning around he fired off a massive barrage of energy blasts bathing the area a bright red. When the attacks died the area below him had been transformed into glass and there was no sign of Java. He looked around for any movement, any trace of KI.
A cracking sound turned his attention back down at the ground. The glass was starting to bulge and crack as the sand pushed up against it. A moment later a stream of blue energy surged up from the ground. Da'kar put his arms up and blocked the attack but was to occupied to notice Java come up behind him with a swift knee to his back.
He hit the ground in front of the other Z Fighters and stood. Slowly he turned and faced Java who had landed about thirty yards away. The little fighter clenched his right fist at his side and it began to glow a deep red. Opening his fist he brought his hand up in front of his face for a moment. Then quickly closed it while whipping his arm around to point it at Java. Then he opened his palm again.
In front of his hand a red energy ball formed and began to grow to a massive size. Da'kar floated into the air slightly as the energy sphere became large than he was. "Nova Blast!" he cried firing the attack. Java grinned and reached out both hands to catch the attack. However, when the attack touched his hands he jerked them back with a shocked look on his face. The others saw his hands where smoking. An instant later the attack had engulfed him and he was lost from view. Da'kar closed his hand, "Implode!" Suddenly the energy blast shrank down to marble size and then there was a bright flash of red, a deafening explosion, and the entire planet shook. When everything stabilized Java was gone and so was all the sand between the two groups of warriors.
Gox jumped back causing Gotenks fist to smash into the glass. The fusion turned toward Gox and frowned. "Hey now! Get back here!" he cried and charged after him. This time Gotenks's fist connected with Gox's head and the two locked into close combat. Gotenks was obviously winning since he was the only one landing any blows.

Gox laughed. "Sorry kid, no time outs." He turned and started diving down toward the ground stopping just a few feet up and releasing Gotenks. The fusion slammed head first through the glass, about a hundred feet of sand, and then the solid rock below it. After a moment Gox called down, "Hey, I know you're down there! Come on up!"
Suddenly the glass cracked and the sand began to swirl. It rose higher becoming like a twister. A golden light flared to life in it's center brighter and brighter. Then suddenly the light exploded through the swirling sand causing the twister to exploded revealing a very upset Gotenks.
