DragonTek (Part V: The Destiny Saga)

Chapter 69 - The Final Enemy

'That boy is too strong,' the Radam leader thought to himself as he observed the contest taking place before him. Kenshin continued to stress his body as he fired his energy blast, but the beam of the flagship did not give up either. The Contact Point, or the point where the beams collided, wavered slightly as it suspended several hundred meters above the boy's head. Looking at the youth's face more closely, Plague frowned, noticing an earring on Kenshin's earlobe. It hadn't been there before, and Bezel paused…

'Could that ring be the device he was talking about?' he contemplated, creasing the skin on his forehead. 'If that is the case, my Wave Distorter attack would be ineffective again. The only way to get it to work would be to break that earring. But then… that boy would call me a coward. But should it bother me? After all, where was the fairness when my home planet was destroyed? When my family was killed? My wife and children…their blood covered the hands of those Saiya-jin, and those monsters laughed…'

'I won't be able…' the boy thought, gritting his teeth, '… to keep this up for too long.'

'But it's true, that happened long ago. Kenshin is a Saiya-jin, but he is fighting to protect, not destroy. Those Saiya-jin back then were out for blood, but this boy wants to keep it from spilling,' Bezel frowned. 'He fights for his people… and that is something I can understand. He's fighting for life, while I'm fighting for death. Much as I hate your blood, I respect your spirit, Kenshin. You've survived every barrier I've thrown at you so far. I wish there were more like you on Roc when your ancestors invaded.'

A surge of images began to flow into Bezel's mind – pictures of his slaughtered family… and their mangled corpses. He was fighting out of blind vengeance for them – his family of over a thousand Earth years ago. Why had they done this to his wife and children? What was the reason? Yet, it was still his fault, for he had urged his family to stay at the protected research facility where he worked. While he was away for an emergency meeting, a Saiya-jin infiltrated the building and slaughtered everyone in sight, and Bezel's wife and children were no exception. Bezel had rushed back to the facility as fast as he could, only to be greeted by their dead bodies. He would never be the same, for the entirety of his conscience died that fateful day. The loving father would disappear, only to be replaced by a vengeful, mourning beast.

'What had they done to deserve a fate like that?' he thought, bringing himself back to the present.

Bezel was soon distracted as a dozen Tekkamen warriors approached, and he frowned upon seeing them rush directly towards the boy. He realized that Kenshin was currently completely vulnerable, for both his hands were being used to counter the green Kakujin. The boy gulped, releasing a quick wave of radial golden aura that merely knocked the Tekkamen several feet back at best. Snarling, they swooped in again.

"STOP!" Bezel boomed, startling his warriors, who halted. 'Your words did jar me, Kenshin, but it's your actions that truly affected me. You called me a coward who uses tricks, but I won't use them now. I stopped them from executing their attack, but I won't stop them from killing you… My pets, do not attack him from the side. Rise yourselves above the Contact Point and fire down directly at it. Fuse your blasts together. Let's see how you do now, Kenshin. Individually, my warriors are being bested by you Saiya-jin; two hundred perished yesterday alone. The only way to defeat you is to eliminate each of you one by one.'

Kenshin cursed as he saw the newcomers flew up over the Contact Point. The armored warriors charged their power cells, and with a snarl, they released their Voltekker blasts simultaneously. A mix of their beams merged into one and smashed into the Contact Point, shoving it down further. The Saiya-jin grunted as he tried to keep up with the extra barrage. Within minutes, more Tekkamen arrived, and they too contributed their power. Bezel looked on with satisfaction, and Kenshin was unable to hold maintain position – now, over a hundred Tekkamen were firing at the Contact Point. The boy was harshly pushed downwards, and he landed hard on the planet surface, causing a small crater underneath his feet. Every muscle in his body bulged, but the Contact Point lowered – it was only eight hundred feet above ground.

'Shit! Even more Tekkamen!' Kenshin swore, noticing another fifty warriors approaching from the distance. Then, his heart skipped. Before the newcomers could reach him, a streak of golden light smashed through them, ripping their bodies apart. Kenshin breathed in relief, and Bezel glared. The light faded, only to reveal an irate Super Saiya-jin Vegita. With a quick stroke, Vegita sent an energy attack straight at the Tekkamen above the Contact Point, but Bezel deflected it with a blast. Vegita scowled.

'I don't want to get into a useless battle with him,' he thought. 'Kenshin looks like he needs help.'

Soon, Vegita landed next to Kenshin and charged his own Garlic Gun energy blast. The younger boy smirked, and Vegita roared as he fired, augmenting Kenshin's Kame-hame-ha. The fused energy wave smashed hard into the Contact Point, pushing it up further significantly. Within minutes, dozens of more Tekkamen arrived and fired Voltekker blasts of their own, pushing it back down by several dozen meters.

'This is too much!' Vegita yelled in his mind, releasing even more energy. The darkness from the twilight allowed clear visibility of the two beams, and a crescent moon had already begun to show itself in the heavenly dark blue evening sky of Japan. Bezel analyzed the situation and decided to remove all stops.

'Come, Omega,' the Radam Emperor ordered mentally. 'It is time for you to rise.'

Saber flew over the ridges of the lunar terrain. Passing over volcanic-like structures, canyons, and dusty plains of gray sand, he sped towards his master's moon base. Omega and he had not parted on good terms the last time, but that didn't bother Saber in the least bit. If his master wouldn't give him the extra power, he would seize it. After all, he was as strong as a Super Saiya-jin in his Tekkaman form, so what could Omega possibly do? Saber reassured himself as he slowed down upon approaching a plain. At the center lay the flagship, yet it had changed. It was covered by a faint purple glow, but he didn't know what to make of it. Shrugging, he swooped down towards the entrance and barged into the main chamber.

"You have returned, my insubordinate," Omega chuckled. "Have you any good news?"

"I will bring good news," Saber replied, not bothering to kneel. "But you must give me something first. I need more energy in order to defeat my brother. I must defeat him. I demand you for this energy."

"You have the audacity to come here with demands?" came the mocking reply. "You push your luck too much, Saber! Are you so incompetent you don't realize you have enough already? Now leave!"

"Omega, holing yourself in here has dulled your brain," Saber spat. "You have no grounds for refusing my request, especially when you sit here doing nothing but bitch and brood. So give me energy!"

"You have gone far enough, Saber!" Omega responded. "I have more important things…"

"This is your last warning," interrupted Shinya with a sharp tone. "If you refuse, I will be forced to do something very unpleasant to you. You may be my master, but I'll tear you up into bugger fodder."

"This discussion is closed," Omega replied, flashing his eyes. "Go and defeat Blade at once!"

"DIE!" Saber yelled, charging his master. The Tekkaman approached with dazzling speed, and his master could do nothing but watch. Saber roared and pointed his lance directly at Omega's midsection, ready to skewer him and usurp the power of the ship. But Omega simply grinned as the lance went straight through his own body and through his backside. Red blood oozed out from his breached armor. Takaya's twin watched, satisfied, and complete silence filled the room. However, a small noise was soon heard.

Shinya frowned upon hearing a soft chuckle. It came not from the body before him; but rather from the walls of the chamber itself. The Tekkaman stepped back and retracted his lance, only to see pieces of flesh and blood on it. The eerie chuckling soon developed into a soft laugh, and this laugh in turn evolved into a maniacal guffaw. Saber looked around with uncertainly and snapped his attention back to the body of Omega. Within seconds, the armor on the Warlord's body cracked, and pieces of it began to clatter to the floor. First, the armor around the legs fell, then the midsection, and soon the upper chest region. Shinya stepped back as the mask covering the face cracked open and fell, revealing the face of…

"Father…?" Shinya gasped, staring at the corpse before him. The man stood naked, and all signs of life had vanished from him. His skin was pale, and his body was limp. The Tekkaman gaped, stunned.

"Yes, it is your father," Omega's disembodied voice echoed in the room. "That body that you always thought to be me is indeed his body. Soon after the pods had swallowed you and your family, he had been rejected due to his old age. He died minutes later; however, that didn't mean he was entirely useless. I just covered it with armor, and I talked to all of you using his vocal cords. Even as a carcass, your father served a purpose. His corpse gave me the freedom to hide… the true nature of my being."

"What…" Saber whispered, shocked. "If what we all saw was my father, then what are you?"

"I told you not to underestimate me, Saber," the voice chuckled. "For my power is great. Now, I will reveal my true identity. I do not possess a body like yours, Saber. My body disintegrated over two hundred years ago, but my mind still exists – embedded in this vessel. This ship is I, and I am the ship…"

"Impossible," Shinya whispered, feeling fear spread through his mind.

"But there is more to tell you, Saber," the voice said merrily. "This ship is no ordinary ship. In fact, it can become my new body. And this very room in which you stand… happens to be my stomach."

"What!" Saber yelled, seeing hot pink juices rush into the room with ferocity and cover the floor. He tried to escape, but vines from the walls and ceiling grabbed him and held him firm. Saber cried out, but it was no use. Despite his awesome strength, he couldn't budge. Within seconds, the entire room was saturated with this hot fluid, and Saber felt it invade his body. He screamed in pain, only to be suddenly

ejected entirely from the ship moments later. Now, he lay on his back on the lunar surface, breathing hard.

"Shinya!" Blade yelled as he swooped down from the sky and approached the figure of his fallen brother. Yet, his attention was distracted the large vessel began to rumble. Blade landed on the ground and watched with wonder – the ship slowly lifted itself from the gray sand and rose thirty meters into the lunar atmosphere. Both brothers watched in a mix of horror and amazement as the craft itself began to take form.

Its base extended into two long and thick stalks, soon forming a pair of armored legs, and its sides elongated and solidified into two gnarled arms. Its middle became the torso, and its top changed into a huge head. The twins gasped. It was a hundred meter tall Tekkaman – covered with dark blue plates.

"The true form of Omega…" Saber whispered, trembling. "This is my real master."

"Omega… is the ship itself?" Takaya wondered, shaking with fear, and Saber nodded.

"I am your final enemy," Omega's voice boomed from his facemask. "I am your curse."

With those words, the colossal Tekkaman lunged off the moon's surface and headed towards the Orbital Ring around Earth. Takaya watched frozen in horror but soon blasted off in his direction, hoping he could think of a plan to stop the beast. Shinya smirked, blasting off in pursuit of his human-loving twin.

The beams that determined Earth's destiny continued to clash with violence and anger. Even more Tekkaman had arrived and joined in the attack, adding to the beam from the ship. The two Saiya-jin boys gritted in frustration… until they noticed some of the Tekkamen fall to the ground. Much to their elation, they realized that their stamina was far better than that of their opponents. Those Tekkamen that had just fallen had been firing with all their might; they were the first batch to fire at the Contact Point. Now, their energy was spent completely, and they fell dead to the ground from exhaustion like flies. Yet, more came to replace them, and the pattern continued. The question was – could the two boys hold them long enough?

Then, a spark of light appeared in the distance, and a familiar craft approached speedily. Bezel watched silently, and Kenshin and Vegita smiled as the Blue Earth slowed and landed nearby. Shinjo and Saki leapt out, leaving the injured Miyuki inside. The girl had wanted to see Kenshin, but Shinjo refused. Saki stepped in next to Vegita and fired her own sustained energy attack; it was nothing compared to theirs, but she wanted to help in any way possible. Shinjo was about fire when Kenshin verbally stopped him.

"Shinjo!" Kenshin hollered over the thundering noise of the beams. "Don't! I know where—"

"What the hell do you mean you don't want my help?" the older cousin yelled back.

"Let me finish!" Kenshin replied. "We can't push our blasts all the way up, because the origin of the blast is a plasma cannon on Radam's mother ship. If we destroy it, we'll take it out… and Aki as well!"

"What!" Shinjo hollered in surprise, turning his head to look upwards. "She's up there?"

"Yes, Bezel told me himself!" came the hasty reply. "Get her out, and then we'll blow it to hell!"

"Alright, I got it!" Shinjo replied, his heart pounding. "Noal and I will go up there."

Shinjo raced back to the Blue Earth, explaining it all to a stunned Noal and a surprised Miyuki.

"Aki is up there on their flagship," Shinjo said, hearing his gasp. "Take me there right now!"

"The Blue Earth's engines…" protested Noal, though fully wanting to go rescue Aki as well.

"I'll use some of my energy to propel it upwards," Shinjo stated desperately. "Let's go now!"

Noal nodded, and the two managed to get the Blue Earth into space, although it put some heavy stress damage on its engines. Bezel decided to let them go, for he knew what they would be up against…

'In fact, it works out well for me,' Bezel grinned. 'That Saiya-jin is heading for his death.'

"Takaya, you haven't finished with me yet!" Saber barked, getting in Blade's path. Takaya tried to brush past him and head for Omega, but Saber blocked and attacked him easily with vicious strength.

'That pink fluid must have restored my strength,' he guessed. 'So… even Omega took pity on me.'

Infuriated, Saber assaulted his brother, lashing out his lance with the intention of tearing off his brother's leg, but Blade knocked away the harmful strike. Blade soon became so engrossed in this fight that he had even forgotten about Omega, who continued to head towards the Orbital Ring. Saber howled as Blade's lance cut across his chest, nearly missing his skin. He countered by scratching Blade's midsection with his own lance, and Takaya staggered backwards, feeling blood trickle out. The two warriors seethed.

"Where is Aki?" demanded Takaya, glaring. "Shuriken took her, so you must know where she is."

"Asking me so suddenly out of the blue?" Saber scowled. "You won't get her until we're done!"

'Takaya-oniisan,' Miyuki's voice echoed in his mind. 'Bezel told Kenshin she's on the flagship.'

"So, our sister has been listening in on our conversation… you left your link on," Saber snorted.

Takaya spun, observing Omega's flagship in the far distance. A strange green light was being emitted from it, but he couldn't make anything out. Yet, he knew something was definitely going on there.

"Aki!" Blade said, firing his thrusters and heading directly for his target. Saber glared in anger.

"Where do you think you're running, Blade!" he hollered in pursuit.

The gigantic form headed for his first destination without heeding the battle taking place in the distance. It was not of his concern at that particular moment, for he had to recover much of the energy that was lost in his grand transformation. Omega never thought that this planet would pose him and his servants so much trouble, and it certainly had offered the best resistance he could remember in his lengthy existence. He speedily cut through the vacuum of space, and he approached the first bugger hive that floated nearby.

It was one of the two hives that had been left intact when Goku and Vegita had destroyed the other eight via their special technique. Omega chuckled; he was extremely lucky that these two hives remained, for they housed the energy he needed to reach his full strength. In fact, he had originally planned to deploy eight of the ten hives anyway while keeping two of them as storehouses of energy, not fighting units.

"It has been so long since I have reached maximum potential," he thought, reaching out to touch the monstrous hive, which was floating near a section of the Orbital Ring. Inside, over a million buggers chirped and hissed as they squirmed and crawled over one another. Omega smiled at his brainless pets.

Then, sparks erupted, and energy flowed from the hive into his hand in massive amounts. Omega rasped as the energy surged into his body in strong waves, and a golden glow outlined every detail of his form. After all, he had charged those hives using the energy from the two Saiya-jin boys. Seconds passed as more power flowed into his awesome form. Being drained of energy, the buggers inside fell dead by the dozen. Omega grinned, and within minutes, he had absorbed every ounce of energy the hive had to offer.

Omega bathed in his newfound potency, but it was not enough. He would need more, and that is what the second hive would give. The Warlord removed his hand from the hive, now completely dead, and headed towards the second, not far away. It wouldn't be long before Earth felt the full wrath of his torture.

Author Notes: There are two space ships so far. The first is Omega's probe ship, which had been resting on the moon all this time; this chapter revealed that this probe ship becomes the body of Omega himself. The second ship is Omega's larger flagship, which had been floating on the outskirts of the solar system until it appeared near the moon at the end of DragonTek Part IV. This flagship houses Omega's thousand servant warriors. His probe ship (himself) can dock into a special port of the flagship and attach itself there, thereby allowing Omega to be aboard his flagship. Not a single one of his thousand servants has seen his true form… until now.
