DragonTek (Part IV: The Justice Saga)

Chapter 51 - Rays of Chaos

"Men, get out of there now!" Dodge yelled as he stood tensely in his commanding room. He was sweating profusely as he gripped the railing in front of him, as did other officers. Dodge had set such high hopes on the Sol Tekkaman units, but this fierce purple Tekkaman had broken through one so easily.

'This can't be true!' he thought, his mind racing. 'These units are supposed to be formidable weapons. How did their blasts not even scratch that thing? It's not possible! They should have won!'

Back at the area of battle, the other men in the units remained frozen in fear, despite Dodge's order. They knew that if they were to run, they would share the same fate as their fallen comrade. They yelped in fear as Plague appeared next to another of their team members, ready to strike the unit down.

"I really don't enjoy seeing you suffer," Plague said. "And I'm sure you don't either. So why not make life easy for all of us and just tell me where your base is? It may save your life; in fact, all of yours."

"Don't tell him, soldier! He'll kill all of us!" Dodge's voice could be heard through the intercom.

"How could you leave us here to die like this!" the terrified soldier next to Plague responded.

"Earth Military, can you hear me?" Plague said, talking directly to the soldier. "Tell me where your base is, and I might let him live. Refuse, and your soldier here will have to pay the ultimate price."

"Why do you want to know where we are?" Dodge's voice barked over the communicator.

"If you are able to build these units, which I can say will have enough firepower to be effective against our buggers," Plague responded, "you must have an enormous energy source that powers these robot suits. I want to tap into that power and direct it to the buggers that should be invading Earth soon."

"You want our base just for our energy source?" Dodge said incredulously.

"Precisely," Plague replied, his eyes narrowing. "Now, tell me where your base is."

"I'm not buying it, whoever you are. You'll just destroy our base."

"Perhaps you would like me to convince you in this manner," Bezel replied, swinging his weapon and beheading the man in the Sol Tekkaman unit. It fell to the dirt, and Plague stepped on it, crushing it.

"I ask again," Plague said sharply. "I want to know the exact location of your base. If you are not producing these things at your base, then I want to know where the production plant is. I await a response."

" I can provide you the location of the Space Knight base instead," Dodge's desperate voice came through. "Where Tekkaman Blade is housed. They are the ones who designed these suits to begin with."

"Interesting," Bezel thinly smiled. "Then do tell me that location, and I will spare your men."

"Their base is hidden underneath a mountain near their old base," Dodge said, soon giving him the precise coordinates. He smiled at his own quick thinking, for now he would be able to save his behind.

"You have been most helpful," Plague said, putting away his weapon. He quickly moved towards the nearest Sol Tekkaman unit and knocked the man inside unconscious. Then, Bezel grabbed him tightly.

"I will take him with me as insurance, in case you're lying. But I will free him when I get there."

"No, wait!" Dodge's voice yelled, but he was too late. Plague had already taken towards the sky.

"Who are you?" Shinjo asked in disbelief as he saw a tall, old green man with small antennae on his head appear before him. Without wasting time with greetings, Dende quickly placed his hands in front of Shinjo, who noticed a strange yellowish aura ripple from the green man's hands onto his own body. He looked at his body in amazement; his wounds began to heal at incredible rates. Before long, he felt perfect.

"I am Dende, Guardian of the Earth, and I've healed you," the old Namek replied desperately. "A powerful Tekkaman is headed towards your Command Center. You must protect it. Go now!"

"Hey, wait!" Shinjo called, but Dende had already faded away from sight.

The waters of the Pacific Ocean screamed under her as she continued to head for Japan. Saber was behind her, trying to catch up, but she stayed ahead of him by three hundred feet. Diverting her eyes slightly, she observed that Spear and Shuriken were on his tail. Soon, the mainland of Japan approached.

Blood received the shock of her life when she spun her head around to look forwards again. There in the distance was a person floating in the air at her low altitude – a person she thought she had finished…

"KENSHIN?" she blurted, completely stunned. There in the distance, the boy watched his enemy approach, and he unsheathed Akoutari and held it diagonally-downwards away from his right side. Blood slowed down, and she got a clearer view of the warrior. He stood upright with the wind blowing against his white, stainless gi. His fighting uniform was sleeveless, and his muscles were ripped. The right side of his body was angled forty-five degrees away from her, but his face looked straight in her direction. He simply raised Akoutari with his right hand and pointed it directly at her, giving her the look of the Hitokiri.

Immediately, he exploded with chi; his muscles tightened and his facial features slightly changed as he again underwent his magnificent transformation. His eyes turned from violet to sea green and finally to a piercing yellow, and his hair adopted a fiery orange-yellow shade. The flames of the Super Saiya-jin shrouded his body, and even a tiny amount of electricity crackled about him. Kenshin gave her a wicked smile before charging her. Blood charged furiously, and their weapons clashed in the air. Alena started to burn with her Super Saiya-jin aura as well, and their auras thundered as they collided. Kenshin pushed hard and knocked her backwards, and the two hovered in the air, glaring at each other. In Kenshin's right hand lay Akoutari. Blood grasped her jagged lance in her right hand and wielded Kotukari in her left hand.

"I guess I'm not important anymore, Blood. You have just found another opponent," chuckled Saber out loud. The Tekkaman had stopped in mid-air, eagerly observing the proceedings taking place before him. Spear and Shuriken caught up with him, and they released their grips on the Saiya-jin boys, expecting them to crash into the ground below. However, the two smiled and remained hovered in the air.

"Goku! Vegita!" Kenshin yelled, vigor surging through him. 'YES! They got out by themselves!"

"What!" Blood said as she turned around, noticing the two Saiya-jin young men hovering in the air close by. Goku and Vegita lowered themselves to the ground, and everybody else followed suit. Saber, Spear, and Shuriken landed on the top of a very small cliff behind Blood. Kenshin and Blood landed on the ground, spaced thirty feet from each other, and Goku and Vegita stood a hundred feet away to the side.

"Why did you bring them here?" Blood asked, turning towards Spear.

"To watch the fight, but I guess the contenders have changed," came the response. They were all distracted as something approached in the distance. The Blue Earth soon arrived, and out of its hatch burst Blade, Rapier, and Saki. The three lowered next to Goku and Vegita, and Noal landed the ship nearby.

"S… Saki?" Vegita stammered, ogling at her. His heart raced, for he was reminded once again of how good she looked. Yet, he scowled upon seeing the burns on her body and the marks on her pretty face.

"Vegita?" she replied, surprised to see him again. "Where had you been all this time?"

"Kinda sitting around, you know," he said nervously, scratching his head. 'Sitting around? That was really stupid, Vegita. What a way to impress her! Yep, tell her you did nothing! But damn, she's hot.'

"Hmph," she replied, focusing on Blood, who she remembered had saved Scimitar before. She then looked over to the small cliff nearby, recognizing Spear and Saber but not the female next to them.

"I remember you," she called, pointing to Kengo and Shinya, who turned to her and chuckled.

"Yes, don't you remember I beat the lights out of you?" Saber gloated. Vegita shot him a glare.

"Kenshin!" Rapier called as he stood in a stance. Blood immediately recognized it – it resembled the first stance of Gatotsu, the attack he'd used against her at his house. However, this time, Kenshin's left hand, which held the hilt, was raised higher. Akoutari's blade was turned upside down and pointed lower.

"What are you?" Blood seethed, still unable to believe he was alive. Was he an apparition?

"A new war has begun, Alena," Kenshin whispered, his eyes glowing with rage. "My war."

Images of the deceased flooded his mind, and his anger increased exponentially.

Using a freakish whisper, he declared, "Gatotsu, second stance…"

With that, he charged her with breakneck speed. Blood evaded to her right, and she swung out Kotukari towards his back. He then whirled around counter-clockwise and forcefully blocked her strike.

"You had done that before – evade it and try to strike my back. I knew you'd repeat the same."

"You think you're so smart," she shot back. "As if you're going to win. I will kill you again, Kenshin. I will do what it takes to prove myself to the Radam nation. You'll lose again, just like always."

"Don't be overconfident," he stood up straight, pointing his sword at her, "or else you'll die."

"This will be our last fight, Kenshin…"

"Wrong, Alena," he replied, his aura exploding around him once again. "It will be yours."

Kenshin attempted a direct stab, but she spun in the air and blocked with Kotukari. On the latter portion of her spin, she swung out her lance, but Kenshin dipped down and sliced her legs in the same spots he had done before. Alena cursed as she staggered back; a trickle of her blood seeped out of the wound.

"You rat!" she yelled, lunging at him. This time, she swung both of her weapons down with her full force, but he jumped over them and slashed both to the ground with a strong downward strike. The force of his move knocked the upper part of Alena's body towards him, and Kenshin kicked her hard in the face. Alena flew back and slammed into the wall of the cliff on which Spear, Saber, and Shuriken had been standing. Kenshin stuck his palm out, and with a roar, he fired a massive energy blast at the Tekkaman. Yet, Blood jumped into the air, dodging it in time, but the blast smashed and destroyed the cliff behind her.

"You messed up our viewpoint," Spear complained, annoyed. "And you almost hit us with it. I still remember how you'd sliced off one of my shoulders. Now I am going to punish you for it, Kenshin."

Blood watched as Spear flew by her and went directly for the boy. Kenshin changed his focus to him, and he stuck out his palm, ready to deliver a fatal attack. It turned out that he didn't need to at all. Blade immediately appeared in Spear's path and brandished his lance at his older brother, who growled.

"So, the turncoat has come to fight me," Spear said, gripping his spear tightly.

"Kengo-niisan, snap out of it," Blade pleaded. "Don't force me to kill you like Scimitar."

"So, you were the one to do it," Spear muttered. "You're so willing to kill your own brother?"

"No, but aren't you, Kengo?" Blade retorted, and he struck Spear with his weapon. The two began their battle, and Kenshin and Blood resumed their own. Alena crouched into a stance, and so did he.

The two burst for each other, clashing their weapons together repeatedly and menacingly. Alena jabbed her lance forward with her right hand and swung Kotukari with her left. Kenshin used his speed and skill to first knock down her lance before blocking her sword strike. He wondered if she was fighting her best; using two weapons would only serve to restrict her left hand from using energy attacks. Kenshin continued his onslaught.

Meanwhile, Blade and Spear continued to clash their weapons as they attempted to strike each other. Spear thrust his weapon forward, trying to stab his younger brother through the neck, but Blade twirled his lance, knocking his enemy's weapon out of the way. With a quick stroke, Blade swung his lance downwards and created a gash through Spear's chest plate. A small amount of blood proceeded to trickle out, and Spear breathed with relief in knowing that it was only a superficial wound. He then turned his eyes upward, but Blade had disappeared from his vision. He quickly turned around, blocking Blade's lance just in time, for it had almost impaled him through the back. With a powerful punch with his right hand, Blade nailed Spear in the face, causing Kengo to crash into the ground below.

"Now you're done, brother," Blade whispered as he pointed his lance downwards at Spear, lying on the ground below. Takaya charged downwards for the kill but suddenly stopped as he saw four small weapons whiz by his face. Turning his head, he saw Shuriken standing close-by with her arm raised; it was evident that she had just released several ninja stars.

"I won't allow you to hurt Kengo," she replied, her voice threatening. Soon, Shuriken groaned as she was knocked forward from a backside attack; turning around, she learned the identity of the person who had blasted her from behind. "That was a dirty trick you pulled, attacking me while I wasn't looking."

"Isn't that what you did?" Saki smirked and scowled at Mieko. Her hand still outstretched, she released another blast at Shuriken, who dodged it by shifting to her right. Mieko growled at her new opponent, and she used her Radam energy to generate a kodachi fitting for her Tekkaman build.

"Now you're attacking me with a weapon even when I don't have one?" Saki smirked, collecting her fingers into a fist. "I'm still going to wipe the floor with your face."

'Woah, this girl is pretty tough,' Vegita thought, staring at her. 'She talks a lot of trash too, just as when we first met… oh, that was a beautiful moment. She's just like me… there is a god after all.'

Shuriken soon became absorbed in her battle with Saki. The human girl continually fired small chi attacks at Mieko, preventing the ninja Tekkaman from approaching her closely. Shuriken tried to fire several ninja darts at her, but Saki managed to counter by knocking them away with shots of chi. The two women smirked at each other, trying to get the upper hand. Shuriken floated high above Saki's head and came down, pointing her kodachi at her skull. When Saki fired a blast upwards, Shuriken evaded it and continued her attack. Saki smirked and quickly shot herself up in the air. When the two became even, the human girl delivered a strong spinning kick to her enemy.

"Argh!" Mieko grunted as the kick plowed straight into her armored gut.

"Damn!" Saki moaned in pain as she felt Mieko's kodachi chisel a mild gash on her leg.

The two females hovered in the air, glaring at each other and waiting for the other to strike.
