Thanks for the reviews!
& I have a little confession to make. My brother originally made the design for Lennie; he just wanted me to draw him one day so I cleaned him up. Would have changed his name but I couldn't think of anything so there was my great idea, give him a long and unpronounceable name to make up for 'Lennie'. So I don't own Lennie, I just decided to use him. Well that's my little disclaimer out of the way; lets get back to the story!
Chapter 39: War's endSam glared at the purple man.
"You are not her father!" she spat and glared at him. It was obvious that she had long ago lost any liking for this man.
"Not biologically at least. But that doesn't matter right now. I want to know about you. I mean you just ran off. You don't write and you did everything you could to block me out. We're still linked but you're screening me. Why?" He asked.
"I guess trying to use my kid as a biological weapon kinda ticks me off." Sam replied with venom, watching his movements carefully. The 'Lord' laughed.
"That's a little harsh. But if you don't mind I'd like to put an end to the pre-battle bantering now." He said and in a movement that was too fast for Sam to follow he was upon her and had shoved his fist into her gut. The old seer in the corner frowned as she watched Sam cough up some blood.
"Try not to make a mess of this place. I don't want to have to have blood cleaned out of my carpet." The seer said and turned to leave.
"What ever you say Baladi." The Lord said and transported himself and Sam out of the room and onto the planet's surface. There he let Sam drop.
"You know I would have let you take care of her until she was old enough." The Lord said and she laughed.
"You would have let me? She's my daughter! What is wrong with you?" Sam asked and powered up. She staggered to her feet and glared.
"I may not be the best mother in the universe but that doesn't mean that I would be willing to let you use her." She said and lowered herself into a stance.
"You don't stand a chance." The Lord said and watched Sam carefully.
"Maybe not, but since when has that stopped anyone?" she asked and threw off her cloak, which landed heavily further away. The Lord watched it then looked up in time to see Sam charging at him and swinging her fist round to hit him hard across the jaw. She then landed and started punching his armoured gut at lightening fast speeds. The Lord looked down at her and brought his knee up just in time to implant it in her gut. She was flung upwards and he elbowed her back down into the rocky surface.
Sam jumped back to her feet after landing, ignoring the dull pain in her back, and charged once more. She threw a left and right punch, each were dodged easily. She then flared out her aura and swung her fist round for a third punch but this one the Lord caught. Sam stared at his grasp then glared at him and tried to kick him into letting go. She landed two heavy blows before the Lord smacked her leg away and tossed her over his shoulder like a rag doll.
Sam got up more slowly this time before lunging. He waited until she was close enough then in a movement that only he could see, he back handed her jaw and sent her crashing through several rocks.
Sam shakily got to her feet and looked over at the Lord.
"OK, so you're stronger than I thought…" she muttered and powered up again, making the earth crack underneath her and sending rocks floating into the air. Her power level levelled off and she then charged. This time the Lord dodged Sam's blows and flew off to the right. Sam spun round and flung a ki blast at him that he deflected with his aura alone. Sam charged and spun round for a kick, her leg glowing. Her foot hit his chest armour and she continued to add pressure, her leg glowing more brightly. Soon the sound of the metal cracking filled their ears and the Lord had to slap Sam away.
He surveyed the damage. The area around the spot the mega kick had hit was badly cracked and shards had fallen out.
"I liked this armour." He said then frowned at Sam who lay a few feet away. The Lord growled at her and stepped forwards, kicking her away when he was close enough.
She bounced then tried to get up again just to have him do the exact same thing. There was nothing that the powerful woman could do.
The lord kicked her once more and watched her lamely cough and attempted to get up. Battered and bruised, she looked over at him, her eyes narrowed into a glare. He may be stronger than her, he had the power of thousands at his command, but she wasn't going to give up so easily.
She charged, readying herself to drop and sweep his legs out from under him but he raised a finger and fired a small beam of energy at her. It pierced her shoulder and went straight out the other side, leaving Sam to drop to her knees and scream in pain as blood trickled out of the penny sized hole.
"That looked like it hurt," the Lord commented, "allow me to make it better, it'll only hurt for a second then you'll feel absolutely nothing." He finished and raised his hand to face her, gathering his ki. Sam stared at it but didn't do anything but stare. The Lord fired and just as the blast was centimetres away from the woman's face another came flying forward to intercept it.
Both combatants looked round to see a small group of people running towards them and in the lead was Tank.
"Get the hell away from her!" he yelled, making the Lord scoff.
"Explain to me why I should?" he asked as he stared at the kalroo.
"Because if you don't step away then I'll rip you apart!" was the answer and Tank immediately started to power up, a red aura enveloping him and ripping up the surrounding area. The others behind him followed suit while two blue women appeared next to Sam and pulled her away.
Tank watched them then stared at the Lord and started firing blasts at him, the group behind him doing the same thing. As smoke covered the Lord the others continued to fire until their target came flying out and started attacking several members of the small group. He punched a toad like creature in the face, breaking the poor creature's nose, and then blasted all the others that were too slow to get away, instantly killing them. The Lord then turned his attention on to Tank and stepped towards him.
The Kalroo frowned at his old boss then smirked as an invisible force hit the Lord in the side, sending him staggering backwards. The lord growled and flung a blast at the spot where he thought it had been and the blast hit it's target, bringing the green lizard like man into view as it made a sharp cut on his side.
The Lord stared at it then went back to walking towards Tank but as he stepped onto a particularly dark patch on the ground, the shadows burst up and covered the Lord in a type of shadow ball. The Lord struggled for a few seconds then the ball was blasted off. It hit a rock further away and formed into the shape of an overly large man that was completely covered from head to toe in a black cloak.
The Lord looked back at Tank just in time to see the golden-eyed kalroo in pail him with a bright ki-sword right through the crack Sam had made earlier.
"H…how?" the Lord coughed and in answer Tank smirked and widened his ki-sword. He then let go and jumped back as it exploded, causing the ground below explode in a shower of rubble that rained down on the Lord's body. Tank stared at the pile of rubble carefully then turned and ran to his wife.
"You ok?" he asked as he stared at her injured shoulder.
"Peachy…" she muttered and grimaced. One of the blue girls looked over at Tank.
"That wound's serious. We need to get her back to the ship." She informed him. Tank nodded and quickly glanced round.
"Fine, lets go." He said as the lizard man dragged the larger man over.
"What about the evil one?" he asked. Tank looked at the pile of rubble, his eyes seeming to dim momentarily.
"Forget about him, Talius. If he survived that then he would surely bleed to death." Tank said and everyone grabbed hold of him before disappearing.
Only a matter of minutes after they had left, the ground began to shake. Rocks dislodged from the mound of rubble and some began to float as energy coursed through the area. The rubble began to glow with a blinding light that spread to the surrounding area, burning everything away. Slowly a deep and sinister laughter filled the air and thousand of light years away a seven-year-old girl shot up in her bed, drenched in a cold sweat.
......
A/N: this one is kinda short compared to my last few…oh well.
So what does this mean? Is the Lord actually defeated or is he going to make another appearance? Guess you'll have to wait and see.
