Dabura vanished into thin air. 16 struggled to search for him, and suddenly felt a heavy boot to his head. He stumbled forward, and then turned around. The demon had disappeared again. A fist drove itself closer to the android, so he swung his body around and grabbed him by the wrist. His ki sensing ability had grown stronger, and was much more alert. He jerked his hand to the left, causing Dabura to flip onto the ground, face first.
Just as he was about to stand, the humanoid leapt down onto his back. His spine bent, nearly cracking. 16 stepped off, and then blasted him repeatedly in the face with ki. The demon stood up, and put one hand behind his back. His nails illuminated with dark ki, growing longer and jagged. Suddenly, he swung them in front of the android's eyes, nearly slashing them in half. The humanoid clutched them, as blood flowed down his cheek and onto the ground.
He growled, staggering back and forth. With out the ability to see, he would be at a great disadvantage. 16 was robbed of another rule of manly warfare, keep your eyes on your opponent. He closed them, allowing the healing process to begin. In the meantime, he would have to live with the handicap.
Obviously, Dabura took advantage. He hit him on the side of the face with his left hand, and then again with his right. He knelt down to the ground, and swung his leg. The android dropped to the ground, struggling to lift himself up.
That bastard, now what can I do. The only choice I have is to use my ki sensing skill. I'm not sure how strong it is, but I have no other alternative.
The demon pulled his arm back, and thrust it towards his opponent. A ki blast was forced out, heading directly to its target. Instantly, the humanoid detected its presence, so he bobbed to one side. The blast skimmed the side of his neck, and flew off into the distance.
Dabura quickly realized what his rival was up to, so he prepared for an assault that would be unavoidable. He closed his fist and then opened it a little. A small ki orb was formed, continuing to grow in power. From there, the demon tossed it into the ground. 16 became aware of a new ki form, heading closer to him, but it suddenly stopped, and to his surprise, it expanded.
It grew wider as the time passed, and any attempt to protect himself would be futile. With out warning, the ki rose to the surface, and surrounded him from all angles. It formed a box, and slowly closed in on itself. It was slow and painful, the perfect torture. The android created multiple ki spheres and tossed them around the box. Some of the ki faded and others continued to attack. After a moment, all of the attack had done its damage, and an injured humanoid lay on the ground.
He twitched, and recognized the fact that his eyes were almost back to full strength. He opened them slightly, a deep burning shot through his body. Steadily, 16 rose to his feet, making Dabura frustrated that his adversary would not give up.
He clamped his hands and moved them to the side, cupping them when they came fully down. Ki flowed to his palms, as a large blast was propelled forward. The demon put his arms out, trying to contain the heavy attack. He stopped for a moment, allowing the ki to consume him. Smoke veiled the area, and as it cleared, the figure of a still standing Dabura haunted the android.
"Have it your way. Now let's see if you're able to face my true power!" he taunted.
The demon dug his feet into the ground, as the sky above him turned black and cloudy. Thunder rolled across the land, its deafening roar along with Dabura's echoed throughout the depths of Hell. The clouds sank closer to the ground, and shrouded the demon. His ki level rose dramatically as a frightened 16 watched in awe. This power was beyond that of his own, beyond that of anyone he had seen. The clouds dissolved, and the mighty Dabura stood strong.
Dabura stood tall, towering 16 in power, and this power made all the difference. He bare his teeth, a smug grin on his face. The android slowly stepped back, in astonishment and fear. He stumbled backwards, nearly clumsily falling to the ground out of fright. He admitted to himself, that he himself had reached a high ki level, and many out there don't even have the ability to even get close to his strength. But now this sinister demon had accomplished what people have only dreamed about, and some not even that.
The humanoid's scouter continued to raise his opponent's ki level by the millions, so he pressed the button on the side, preventing it from further damaging itself. The last number registered was well over 40 million, and it would only go higher.
This, this can't be possible. How much power can one individual harness. This doesn't seem good for me at all.
"Are you finally intimidated, took you long enough. You should have realized what I could achieve back when I gave you my offer. A little late now, so prepare for annihilation!"
Dabura pointed his finger towards his opponent. A beam of sharp ki struck his shoulder. He stumbled back, but continued to proceed. The demon fired two others, both hitting in the stomach. He dropped to the ground, and slowly rose back up. His opponent then put both his hands in front of him, and released a menacing ki blast. It consumed his body, sending him hurtling back.
He opened his mouth wide, and allowed a large concentration of ki flow in front of his mouth. Dabura forced it forward directly to its target. This one broke 16's defenses rather quickly. His body tossed across the land like a rag doll once again. He hit the ground with a thud, as he lay there, almost completely paralyzed.
His veins that once pumped furiously were reduced to a slow pace. The muscle's in his body knotted, making him immobile. The android's ki level dropped at tremendous rates, as his mind gradually went into suspend mode, and one more blast from the demon would do him over.
Death in the afterlife, how ironic. He closed his eyes, and felt the warm rocky dirt below him. Suddenly, he detected a powerful ki force a few miles away with his ki sensing ability. Just a glitch, or just one of Dabura's goons.
This ki entity was too powerful to be one of his lackeys or guards. It rushed to the scene quickly, but as the humanoid stared off into the distance, he saw nothing. He held his stomach, and turned his body around, now looking at the demon's reaction to this. Either he hadn't noticed, or just didn't care, for he seemed the same as always.
But then, his face soured, his brow curled up, and he held his midsection. The ki entity was now there, and what had it done? It was as if it had struck Dabura, and actually caused damage. A blinding light veiled the area. The ground below 16 cracked and split, forming a large chasm. He fell into it, and helpless as he was, did nothing. With out warning, the falling stopped. Something had stopped him. He looked down and examined what had done this. It was a blanket of ki.
Is this another one of that demon's tricks? No, it can't be. This ki entity seems friendly and familiar. He remembered who this could have been. That's not possible. He, he died. Although he denied it, deep inside he knew it was him. The ki blanket cradled him and surrounded his body. He closed his eyes and attempted to heal himself.
After a deep sleep, he woke up. He was on land again, but the land here was less harsh and the temperature was much cooler. The android sat up and scanned his body. No bruises, no wounds, no injuries, he was healed.
But the thought of that entity returned. He had saved his life, although he could not have done the same. The humanoid reached deep in his pocket and pulled out the double-sided coin, his last memory. "Thank you, good friend." He softly spoke, drifting off to a well-deserved slumber.
