"Dragonball AS: Deadly Sins Saga"
Chapter 26- "Stupid Delays"
By- Tiny
Raditz fired yet another ki wave, decapitating the one known as Envy in a brilliant pink flash of raw power. The Sin's body fell to the ground lifelessly, but was gone soon there after by a blast from whoever Envy's partner had been. Whoever they were, their build was much more slender then the previously bulky warrior and the scent they put off immediately told Raditz that this warrior was a female.
"He was worthless as a fighter anyway," the person snickered, "Not very good in the sack, either. I guess I'll just have to find a new plaything now. How about you, monkey-boy?"
"I'm spoken for," Raditz huffed, "Besides, your not my type."
"And why not?"
"The idea of being incinerated for being bad in bed doesn't exactly appeal to me," Raditz growled, "That and you're here to kill us all."
"Too bad, you're kind of cute," the woman sighed, "I guess I'll just have to kill you without having any fun."
Tossing her cloak aside, Raditz saw that the woman had a light pink skin tone, where as the others all had red or black skin, and light blue eyes. Her body was very well developed, causing many of the surrounding fighters to stop and gaze down at her over exposed cleavage. Yamcha and his students soon put a stop to their opponent's gawking, killing quite a few in the process. Raditz smiled approvingly at the human fighters, then turned his attention back to his opponent, who had just finished taking off her rather heavy hood.
The woman was clad in a tightly fitting black leather outfit with a loosely fitting purple cape cascading down over her back. Long, flowing locks of raven hair hung down just below the woman's shoulders and glistened slightly in the evening light. She tossed it around her face seductively for a second, but Raditz was unimpressed.
"Is that all you know how to do? Seduce your victims?" Raditz laughed, "I am a bonded Saiya-jin, such feminine charms won't work on me. You'd better hope you have the strength to survive, otherwise this won't be much fun!"
"My looks only add to my opponent's weaknesses," the woman snapped, "You may not be effected by my looks, but my strength will surely put your mouth to rest!"
"I highly doubt that," Raditz chuckled, "I am a Saiya-jin, born of potentially the most powerful race in existence! What makes you think you can stand up to me, little one?"
"Oh, that does it, monkey!" the woman growled, "You will die by my hands, or my name isn't Lust!"
"I think you're mistaken," Raditz mocked, falling into stance, "Since you won't be leaving this planet alive! Prepare to die!!!"
As much as Sloth and Greed tried, they just couldn't seem to land a blow on the Saiya-jin warrior's body. Whoever he was, the Saiya-jin was capable of far more than the two Sin's had given him credit for and was proving as much by avoiding everything they threw at him.
"Like some kind of roach," Sloth growled, "You step on him and he gets up to ask for more!"
"Talking to yourself again?" Diive snickered, slamming a fist into the Sin's stomach, "That's bad for your health, you know. Causes death in some cases."
"Shut up, you stupid ape!" Sloth coughed, "We still have fight left in us!"
"If you can call what you've been doing fighting," Diive laughed insanely, "More like dancing, but with fire!"
Growling like some kind of savage animal, Greed smashed a knee into Diive's cheek in the hopes it would fracture the Saiya-jin's skull. Diive was blown back a few feet, but turned to face the two Sin's none the worse for the wear. A small trickle of blood dripped out of the corner of the Saiya-jin's mouth, but he quickly wiped it away with his left hand.
"Not bad, but your plan didn't work," Diive chuckled, "I'm still in one piece, you foolish little man."
"Damn you Saiya-jin's!" Sloth snapped, shaking his fist, "We'll find a way to kill you, even if it's the last thing we ever do!"
"Don't give him any ideas!" Greed gasped, "He might decide to finish us off now!"
"What a splendid notion!" the Saiya-jin mused, "Who wants to go first?"
Both Sin's gulped at the Saiya-jin's statement and turned to flee, but didn't get very far as two powerful hands grabbed them from behind and threw the two into the ground below. Coming to a screeching halt several yards away, Greed thought that maybe Diive had decided to stop their suffering and kill them quickly, but that was not meant to be. Soon after they had stopped moving, Diive picked the two up by the neck and threw them up into the air.
Punch after punch was thrown into Greed and Sloth's bodies, each blow bringing fresh pain along with the old, making it all the more excruciating. Blood dripped out of every exposed orifice on the two men's bodies as the power behind the blows was increased steadily. They almost wished the nerves in their bodies would shut down so the pain would go away, but they got no such satisfaction.
"Ah, what a great warm-up," Diive snickered, "I'm surprised you two morons were able to even stand against me for so long. Most people would have given up by now..."
"Gloating will get you nowhere, Saiya-jin," Sloth wheezed, "Our leader is far more powerful than any of us. He will crush you stupid monkeys like bugs!"
"I'm afraid he's correct," Greed chuckled weakly, "You may win this battle, but he will kill your sorry ass!"
Holding out his hand over the two crippled warriors bodies, Diive began to charge a yellow wave of energy. The power building in the wave turned the cool night air white hot in a matter of seconds as the wind picked up around the Saiya-jin's body. The two Sin's closed their eyes in anticipation, but never felt the pain wash over their bodies as the yellow energy incinerated their entire being.
"Let that be a message to your boss," Diive snorted, crossing his arms over his chest, "Nobody can defeat a Saiya-jin!"
"Oh really?" a voice hissed from behind, "Allow me to disprove that theory..."
Diive whipped around to defend himself faster than most people's eyes could follow, but was met only with a powerful blow to the jaw. The Saiya-jin warrior was thrown back several feet into a nearby cliff. Pulling himself out of the rubble, Diive charged at the hooded figure, a ki blast already charged up in his hands. The blow smashed into the man and Diive thought he had won, but crashed into the ground himself after a powerful chop to his neck.
"So much for the powerful Saiya-jin warrior," the hooded man smirked, "Although I must say I'm impressed. Your little attack actually tickled!"
Diive used every ounce of his strength to pull himself up to look at this man who stood gloating before him. The Saiya-jin's eyes narrowed savagely at whoever he was, the bloodlust that already existed within his very soul rising up to the surface. Whoever this man was, he could feel the rage rising out from the downed warrior and Diive could almost swear he saw the man shiver with fear. That alone was enough to satisfy the son of Nappa, a cold smirk spreading across his face.
"Enjoy your small victory over my flunkies, Saiya-jin, but know that I am not afraid of you," the man smirked, charging a blast in his left hand.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Diive chuckled weakly, "I can sense the fear rising from you! You couldn't hide that even if you tried!"
"The time has come to end your pointless banter!" the hooded one growled, aiming his palm at the Saiya-jin's head, "Any last words before you die?"
"Yeah," Diive smirked, "I'll see you in Hell!"
Growling almost like some kind of wild animal, the hooded man threw back his hand and tossed a giant red ball of energy at the Saiya-jin's body. Diive closed his eyes and clenched his teeth in agony as his cells separated from each other, being completely destroyed by the attack. Whoever the hooded man was, he smirked with satisfaction as the smoke cleared, revealing nothing of the Saiya-jin save a few pieces of cloth and some blood on the ground.
"You first, monkey..."
"What do you mean we have to ride that stupid plane to Enma's palace!?!" Goku pleaded, "I've gone there before using the Instant Transmission!"
"And it's greatly disturbed the energy balance over there," King Kai sighed, "If it's disturbed any more then the very wall over Hell will shatter and all the inmates will escape up here. Do you want that?"
"But King Kai, my family needs...."
"Goku," Piccolo butted in, "I think we should do as King Kai says. Imagine if someone like Cell or Super 17 escaped from down there!"
"The Nameksei-jin brings up a good point, Kakarot," Brolly nodded, "The results of such an event would be catastrophic!"
"What does that mean?" one of West Kai's warriors asked, causing everyone present to topple over.
"It means bad," Brolly growled, "Moron."
"Anyhow, you should listen to your friends Goku," King Kai coughed, "We can't allow anyone from down there to be let loose here in Other World. Not even you would be able to defeat all of them."
"Fine, I'll ride the stupid plane," Goku sighed in defeat, "How long will it take to reach Enma's Palace?"
"About two hours or so," King Kai shrugged, "Don't worry, it'll seem like only a few minutes have gone by!"
"Whatever you say, King Kai," Goku grumbled, walking onto the plane, "I just hate delays..."
NEXT TIME: Goku and crew have run into a snag and it will now be at least two hours before they manage to get back to Earth. Will the Earth warriors be able to hold their own against these new foes now that four of them are dead, or have their chances been ruined with Diive's death? More importantly, who is this foe that managed to somehow kill the powerful Saiya-jin warrior so easily? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!
