Hey again, sorry its taken so long but my computer had some problems…you wouldn't think it would take repairers almost a month to fix something as stupid as a cd burner…but it did and I only just got it back. Anyway, lets begin.
"Wait, where were we going?" Kia asked as Kabito quickly crossed the room.
"Your friend is in grave danger, not to mention the Supreme Kai"
Kia's face was covered with confusion , why should he listen to some stranger that popped out of thin air and some voice that was in his head…Maybe he was going insane? Then again, both did say that Trunks was in danger…and Trunks didn't seem to be anywhere.
"Ok, fine just give me a few seconds to get ready, I need to tell Bulma what's going on and grab a few things." Kia said, not waiting for a response before walking over to a nearby cupboard and pulling out some of the energy absorbing clothes that Bulma had made for him. "If Trunks needs 'my' help I'll definitely need these."
Kabito nodded as he folded his arms, "Very well, I'll explain the situation as you prepare, but please hurry."
· · ·
"GOD DAMN IT KAI! LET ME GO OR I SWEAR YOU WILL REGRET IT!" Isaac scream as he's left arm moved ever so slightly, forcing the Supreme Kai to increase the power that he was putting into the force field that was containing Isaac.
"Mmm, and I bet if he let you out we'd all just sit around and have a nice chat ey?" Trunks said, a painful grimace on his face, "No, I like the way things are right now, don't you Supreme Kai?"
The Supreme Kai merely grunted in response. The force field seemed to be taking a lot more energy and concentration than it looked.
"Yeah, I'd say he agrees."
"GO TO HELL!" Isaac spat viciously, struggling even more.
"Hmm, you mustn't of had a very good mother, she didn't even teach you any manners." Trunk's said smirking, trying to get as much energy back as possible. Isaac's eyes glazed over and a hateful, pain filled look came over his face.
"What did you say?" he whispered eerily.
Trunks's eyes widened slightly, he had definitely hit a nerve…which in this case was a big mistake.
"DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK ABOUT MY MOTHER THAT WAY!" Isaac roared, energy exploding around him, his muscles increasing in size.
"Ah crap" Trunks muttered doing the same, except his roar was one of utter pain as he felt his already torn and bruised muscles being to stretch to their limits. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling he was in trouble, and if he didn't at least try and transform, both him and the Supreme Kai were about to get into a lot more of it. His hair flashed gold for a moment, then flashed again…before returning to its original colour and forcing Trunks to his knees.
"No use…" Trunks choked, "I just don't have enough strength…"
"Trunks!" Supreme Kai yelled out in shock, making Trunks lift his head in order to see what was wrong. It was then that all colour drained from his face.
"You have to be kidding me…"
Isaac was walking toward him, his movements looked as if he had 200 ton weights on both his legs, but he was moving towards him regardless, and with increasing speed.
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF HER LIKE THAT, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER!" Isaac yelled, only a mere 2 metres away now. "I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER! SHE WAS STOLEN AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU EXISTED! IF IT WASN'T FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU THEN BABIDI WOULD OF NEVER HAD A NEED FOR PEOPLE WITH MY KIND OF STRENGTHS, MY KIND OF POWERS!"
Supreme Kai was yelling as well now, struggling to regain the control he had on Isaacs' force field, his teeth bared and muscles bulging.
"Trunks- I- I cant…I'm sorry!" He groaned, falling to the ground, the force field he had made around Isaac disappearing, leaving Isaac standing unrestrained mere inches away from Trunks's face.
Trunks forced his face to rise up further, so he was able to look into his soon to be attackers eyes. He could feel dried blood begin to crack against his moving facial muscles and the string of sweat and blood in his eyes began to over take his senses.
"People like you…have taken everything away from me. And only when I take everything from you…will I be able to get it back." Isaac whispered.
"What are you on about? I didn't even do anything. All I'm trying to do is stop you from killing me-"
Isaac's foot smashed into Trunks's face, sending him skidding against the terrain, smashing into some nearby rocks and random trees before finally coming to a stop.
"Ow." was all he was able to mumble as he struggled to open his eyes. But regretting it once he did.
"MY MOTHER WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON! NOTHING LIKE THE SLUT YOURS WAS!" Isaac snarled, slamming his foot down on Trunks's stomach, breaking several of his ribs and knocking the wind out of him. "YOUR MOTHER SCREWED THE PRINCE OF THE DIRTIEST RACE IN EXISTENCE, A RACE THAT ONLY CARED ABOUT THEMSELVES AND NO ONE ELSE!"
Trunks wanted to say something, wanted to respond, but he just didn't have any more strength, all the air that was in him was either gone or going. He could feel that he was being to bleed internally, in a matter of seconds he would be dead.
"THE PRINCE OF A RACE THAT HAS WIPED OUT ENTIRE GALAXIES! HOW DARE YOU JUDGE MY MOTHER!"
"I-didn't- mean-" Trunks struggled to say, but it was pointless.
Then the kicking stopped, unfortunately the pain didn't, but at least he was able to breath again…even if it was just a little.
"Your lucky I need you alive or I'd just kill you right now!" Isaac growled. "But that doesn't matter, once Babidi gets this energy, it will almost be enough to bring Majin Buu back, then I will be free to do as I wish." Isaac said walking over to the ball that he had used earlier to absorb all of Trunks's energy.
Trunks's eyes widened, "What do you mean almost?" He managed to cough out.
Isaac just laughed, standing back up with the strange orb in his hand.
"What? Did you think that your pitiful power alone would be enough to awaken Majin Buu? Ha, your power isn't even half of his, that's why I need you little friend."
Trunks grimaced, struggling to pull his body out of the small crater he was in, "Kia?"
Isaac sneered, "Yes, that's the one. Once he gets here I will have all the energy I need…that is if I can make him transform"
"How did you know?-"
"Trunks, I know a lot more about your morbid race than you may think, and I'm no idiot, I can sense things. Now I just need to find a way to make him angry enough…that's the way it works, isn't it?" Isaac asked mockingly as he hit a few buttons on the orb, making it flash. "I'll send this to Babidi now, then send him the other's once I get it."
The blue glowing orb began to shake in his hand for a moment, then in a few seconds vanished into thin air.
"Babidi should be happy with that," Isaac said smiling, "And it looks as if your friend has just arrived."
He was right, Kia had just arrived, and he would have no clue what he was up against. His bluff had failed, Isaac knew about the Saiyan transformations and knew Kia was no challenge unless he was able to do what he did when he was in the gravity room. And even if he was able to do it again, it would be playing right into Isaac's plans and he would just absorb Kia's energy. Trunks had to warn him.
"Kia, listen you-" Trunks whole body suddenly started to tingle and he cranked his head back around to see what was happening.
Isaac was powering up a blast and aiming it at Trunks, a sneer on his face, "No, no Trunks, we cant have you warning him now can we." He said, the golden energy crackling in his hands, once it was of a sufficient size he aimed at a patch of ground next to Trunks and fired the Ki blast, which exploded on impact, knocking Trunks out.
"Your lucky I still need you boy, or you'd be dead by now" Isaac whispered, bring his gaze up just in time to see the look on Kia's face. "Excellent"
Kia's jaw muscles were flexing as he looked at Isaac, then to Trunks, then to Isaac again, a glare coming over his usually happy face. He wasn't wearing his usual clothing though, instead he was wearing a uniform similar to Trunks; he was wearing long black pants and a tight spandex type blue T-shirt, made of the same energy absorbing material that Trunks wore.
"You must be Isaac." Kia said, clenching his fists. It was so quiet at that moment someone would be able to hear a pin drop.
"And you must be Kia" He simply replied.
"So they weren't lying? I'm going to kill you for what you've done. Your lucky he's still alive, otherwise your death would be twice as slow and painful."
Isaac just laughed, "You know, I've been hearing so many threats today, but no one has been able to fulfil them. Quite sad really."
"It wasn't a threat. It was a promise!" Kia yelled, as energy began to cover his body, forcing his hair to blow around uncontrollably. Nearby rocks and clods of dirt were thrown aside as his powering up began to come to its end. Kia panted as his aura danced around him, moving strands of his hair ever so slightly. It was finished.
Isaac's face contorted into one of disappointment, "Is that it? You haven't even transformed, don't tell me your meant to be the one I have sensed? Your not even half as strong as your weakling friend" He said pointing to Trunks.
"My master is no weakling, and as for me, I promise you I will be the one who brings you down."
"Actions speak louder than words child, so lets begin!" Isaac yelled crouching into a fighting stance.
Kia did the same thing, making sure his power level was pushed as high as it would go.
"Kabito, get the Supreme Kai and Trunks out of here, I'll take care of the rest-" Kia said looking around. But Kabito was no where to be seen.
"Tisk, tisk, tisk. You should never take your eyes of your opponent boy. Obviously your master hasn't taught you well." Isaac said, floating above Kia, Kabito held firmly in his hands. "And I cant have him healing anyone now can I? Four on one is just to unfair."
With that he brought a hand up and hit Kabito over the head, knocking him out, then throwing him to the ground below.
"Just encase you don't understand how important this is I'll give you a hint. Everything rides on this fight boy, everything is now on your shoulders. Your masters out, so is the Supreme Kai and Kabito, it's all up to you, so if you lose everybody loses. This will be the last fight, just you and me, no more saves, no ones help, just you and me in a fight to the death."
"That's what its been from the start" Kia said, swallowing, trying to get the lump that was now rising in his throat to stay down.
"Very well, so I'm going to give you one more chance. Transform into your full strength or I will not resist to kill you."
Anxiety shot through Kai's body. Was he really that weak?
"This is my full strength" He said sternly.
"Hmh, then I almost feel sorry for you." Isaac said dully before shooting down towards Kia at almost untraceable speeds. Kia barely had a second to think before Isaac's fist smashed solidly into his jaw, quickly followed by a knee to the chest and then several quick jabs to his ribs. Kia swung a wild punch at Isaac's face, but hit nothing but air, a sharp pain in his spine sent him skidding across the ground before he pushed himself up with both hands, flipping in the air and landing on his feet again only to be meet with a foot to the face.
"What's the matter boy? To much for you." Isaac mocked as he watched the young demi Saiyan clutching his now broken nose in pain.
Kia merely growled, forcing his aura to explode around him once more before leaping forward, crouching down at the last second and swinging a low to the ground kick in an attempt to sweep Isaac's legs from under him. Isaac just dodged to the left, waited for a second, then kicked Kia in the side of the ribs, sending him flying into the air.
Powering up a small yellow blast he fired it up towards Kia, purposely making it miss him by a few inches, allowing Kia to come to his senses and flip around in mid-air before landing on the ground once more.
"You missed," Kia muttered, breathing deeply. He could tell already that several of his bones were broken or dislocated.
"If I wanted to hit you I would have," Isaac replied cockily, "In fact, I could kill you at any second. But I want to see some of your fighting potential."
A smirk came over Kia's face, "Why didn't you say so? I'll show you something that should give you quite a kick"
Without waiting for a response Kia cupped both his hands to his side and covered himself in his aura before converting it into his hands. A blue glow began to grow steadily as he started to chant the words needed to perform the powerful attack.
"Kaaaa!" He began to yell feeling the heat coming off the energy increase, "Meeee!"
Isaac didn't move, disconcerted with what Kia was doing.
"Not bad for such a weakling." Isaac said folding his arms.
"Haaa!" Kia called out, slowing walking towards Isaac, increasing his speed along the way, the energy in his hands shaking violently as he did so.
"Getting closer won't make much of a difference."
"Meeee!"
"This is only delaying the inevitable, you are no challenge unless you transform!"
Kia was only a few metres away from Isaac now moving at a fast pace, before suddenly launching himself towards Isaac and bringing his cupped hands up in front of him at the very last second, inches from Isaac's face"
"HA!" He screamed releasing the almost uncontrollable ball of energy from his palms, firing it into Isaac's unprotected face.
The surrounding area was then covered in a blinding blue light, knocking back anything within a 50 metre radius. A deafening whine was the only thing that could be heard as Kia waited patiently, now several metres back, to see what had happened, his face covered with both his hands, which had moments before caused the powerful explosion. Then the wait was over.
A large cloud of dust was the last thing obscuring Kia's view, in a few more seconds it to would be gone and he would know if his attack had gotten the job done…or failed, leaving him with little energy to continue fighting with. He had put almost everything he had into that attack, Trunks had told him that Goku had done the same thing in an attempt to beat Cell. He had been told that the attack had been unsuccessful, but was still incredibly powerful. Hopefully it would have more of an effect on Isaac than it had on Cell.
The dust was almost gone and Kia squinted into what was left, what he saw made his eyes widen and his blood run cold.
Isaac stood there, completely unharmed, a cocky grin on his face as he unfolded his arms, returning them to his side.
"Is that it? That wont do Kia, that wont do at all. All you have succeeded in doing is wearing down my patience. I need you to transform, do you understand me? Now I don't care how you do it, wether it be through your own will, or through the suffering of someone else," he said, looking towards Trunks, "but you will reach your full power. Now, what way are we going to do this?"
Kia stood frozen in shock several metres away from Isaac, still struggling to come to terms with how pitiful his attack was compared to his seemingly invincible foe, let alone hear what he had just said. Regardless of wether he had heard what Isaac had said or not, Kia's shocked face suddenly turned to one of determination as his aura exploded around him and he once again shot towards his enemy. Isaac grimaced as he easily sidestepped Kia's adrenaline filled punch before slamming his knee into his chest, forcing Kia to double over in agony, quickly being followed up with an elbow to the back of his neck, sending him face first into the cracked ground at his feet.
"I see you've made your choice." Isaac said tonelessly.
Turning back towards Trunks, he flew over to where he still lay unconsciously, half covered in debris that had been thrown around in the fight.
"It will take a bit longer, but I must admit it will be a lot more fun" Isaac said, picking up Trunks's unconscious body, holding him up one handed by his collar. "What body part should I take the pleasure in removing first?"
Kia crawled to his hands and knees, blood was dripping from both his nose and mouth and he could of sworn he had just swallowed a tooth.
"I hope the rejuvenation tank will be able to heal that" he thought to himself as he climbed back to his feet. Pain was vibrating all through his body, starting at his head and working its way all the way down to his toes, in short he felt like his bones had been replaced by jelly.
"I swear if you touch one hair on his head!"
Isaac smirked before quickly plucking a strand of hair from Trunks's head and breaking it in half between his fingers.
"You'll what?" He said coolly.
Kia roared in rage before launching himself at Isaac, his right fist outstretched.
Isaac yelled, thrusting his left hand out in retaliation, causing a gust of wind to send Kia spiralling backwards into the cracked terrain.
"Now Kia, you wouldn't be trying to ruin my game would you? The only way I will let you near Trunks is if your transformed. So I'd hurry if I were you." Isaac said with a sadistic smile. "I think I might wake our friend up, it will be more entertaining that way."
Isaac quickly dislocated Trunks's left arm, leaving it to sway in an awkward position, the only response from him being a cry of agony as his eyes shot open in reaction to the burning pain that was now pushing away his unconsciousness.
"Trunks!" Kia yelled, shooting toward his friends' torturer once again, but being met with the same results as before.
"Come on now, just tap into that power you had before and I will put him down." Isaac said, breaking each of Trunks's left hand fingers individually. "You should probably hurry, there are only so many bones I can break before I have to start ripping them off."
Kia took a deep breath as he picked himself off the ground once again, energy exploded around him as he began powering up, but it was no use, he couldn't ascend, he just didn't know how.
"Hmm, still not enough? How bout now?" Isaac grinned, kneeing Trunks in the thigh, breaking it. Trunks yelled out in pain again, grabbing at it with his good hand.
Kia was about to attack again when Trunks sudden spoke.
"Kia! What ever you do, do not transform! Do you understand me? Do not tra-"
Isaac punched him in the chest, winding the Saiyan before he could continue, "He doesn't know what he is talking about. We both know you can only beat me if you do"
Kia sneered, Trunks's words were running through his mind over and over again. Why didn't he want him to transform? Surely he knew that it was the only way he could win…that was if he could even transform again…he didn't even remember the last time. But even if he could…why did Isaac want him to so strongly…
"Why are you so intent on me transforming" Kia asked warily, taking the moment to rest.
Isaac's eyes widened ever so slightly, "Why? For a challenge." He lied, "You are the strongest this planet has to offer, and I want to be pushed to my limits."
Kia thought there was something wrong with his words, but didn't get much of a chance to think more into it when Isaac continued to play his game. Trunks's right arm, ankles and left leg were all broken.
Kia felt a shiver run down his spine and a weird tug in his chest, as though something was trying to get out.
"Hurry, or I might have to make a Saiyan rubrics cube. You know, twist his body around until it's in the right order again…then again I never was to good at those things, always seemed to get them mixed up…" He said breaking Trunks's right leg. "Nope, looks like I got another wrong one, to bad."
Another tug in his chest. Anger washed through his body.
"Are you just going to let him die? I thought he was your trainer, your master…obviously he doesn't mean as much to you as you let on"
Another tug, a sickening feeling, a tingling flowing all through his veins.
"Hmh, you don't even have the guts to speak. How pathetic."
The anger burned in him, the tingling changed to a painful burn and his body seemed to feel larger, as if it could hold more in it, as if it was hungry and waiting to be fed.
"Maybe we should begin our game again, Trunks seems to of fallen asleep. I wouldn't want him to be bored, would you?"
Kia fell to his knees, the pain was immense, the burning filled his whole body, but for some reason it screamed for more, screamed to be filled.
"Let him go…" He whispered.
Isaac laughed, "You know I cant do that, we have a deal remember?" he said bending Trunks's elbow.
"Let…him…go…now…" Kia growled, the pain overcoming him. Pain. Burning. Hunger. It was all in side of him, he didn't want it, he wanted it to leave, to go away.
"Not until I get what I want." He said putting more pressure on Trunks's elbow, a crack sounding from it a second later. Trunks's screams were heard soon after.
Kia's eyes opened upon hearing them, he needed his help, he needed to be saved. But the pain wouldn't leave him, it was stuck in him, it was stopping him from doing anything. He needed to push it out, to get rid of it so he could save him.
Kia struggled to get to his feet, the burning grew, the pain multiplied, his eyes were stinging, his scalp felt like his hair was made of fire.
But even through all the pain he knew what he had to do; he had to save his friend.
"I said, let… him… go… NOW!" Kia screamed, and a blinding golden light erupted from within him and engulfed his body. The ground began to shake and the water around the small island began to ripple and soon large waves were crashing onto the land. Isaac's eyes widened slightly, and the once smug look on his face turned to a look of shock and fear.
Kia was still screaming as his hair changed from his natural jet black colour to that of a bright gold, and his eyes also changed, getting lighter and lighter until they were a cold aqua. The energy absorbing shirt he was wearing ripped under his growing muscles and electricity began to spark around his body, mixing with his golden aura.
Kia then began to roar, not like a human but more like a monster, causing Isaac to cringe as the sound pounded against his ear drums.
In moments the transformation had ended and Kia fell to his knees once again, his golden aura sounding him the whole time.
"That's…that's incredible." Isaac said open mouthed, dropping Trunks to the ground. "His even more powerful than the last time."
Trunks's eyes fluttered for a moment then painfully opened, shock covering his face.
"He did it again…he's so powerful…" He thought to himself as he stared at the kneeling fighter. Then he noticed what was really going on.
"…He still cant control it properly!" He whispered to himself, unnoticed to Isaac.
Isaac's began to grin again, "What's wrong Saiyan? Is it to much for you?" He said, as if he was reading Trunks's mind. "Well…that just makes my job easier."
Reaching behind him he pulled out another of the energy absorbing orbs and held it out in front of him.
"Much easier."
Kia was still on his hands and knees, not taking in the situation. His head felt like it was going to explode, the power was to much for him. But then he heard a voice.
"Kia! Listen to me, you can control this! You can do it, I know you can! If you don't get up Isaac will take all of your energy and then we are all dead, you me, your mother, everyone!" Trunks's yelled from his crumpled position on the ground.
Kia lifted his head and looked at his friend.
"Enough out of you! You've exceeded your worth fullness!" Isaac yelled kicking Trunks aside. "And you, your time has just run out" he said hitting some buttons on the orb.
Kia's eyes narrowed and he bared his teeth, all the anger that was holding him back began to change…began to fuel him.
"Thanks for the energy." Isaac said smiling. The blue crackling energy shot out of the orb and raced towards the Saiyan. Kia began to growl and then let out a ear splitting roar, causing the ground to explode around him, tossing dirt into the air, covering his body.
Isaac's eyes narrowed and he struggled to look into the dust and smoke that was hiding the newly born Super Saiyan. The glowing blue energy danced around in the smoke, eventually giving up and returning to its home.
Isaac's eyes darted around franticly as the smoke cleared…he was gone.
"Where did he go." He said shakily, swallowing as he continued his search.
Suddenly a firm, strong hand rested on his shoulder and a husky, but familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Now it's my turn to play."
Well, that's all this time, hope you liked it. This was one of my more fav chapters, hope you felt the same. I tried to make it longer than I usually do since it took so long for me to update. Hopefully now things should go back to normal…even though school has once again started (sigh) well keep up the reviews, and if you have an questions I will try to answer then in the following chapters! Till next time!
Kylewin: Heh heh, sorry I sort of stole your little talk to the audience thing, I hope you don't mind. Anyway, as for what you said to me earlier about you wanting Trunks to be stronger than Kia, it may happen. Trunks is a lot stronger than he gives himself credit for and hopefully by the time Buu gets here (yes he is coming) he will at least be level 2. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews you have given me, its nice to know a writer as good as yourself thinks my story is ok. Makes me feel good if you know what I mean. Anyway till next time, and keep writing your story! Go Akira!
P.S if anyone has no idea what I'm going on about then read Kylewin's story: Dragonball New Beginnings: The Arlean Saga it should explain some things and is an excellent read! Bye.
