"Dragonball AS: Destroyer Saga"

Chapter 11- "Playtime's Over"

By- Tiny

In a dark corner of the Budokai arena, the dark one known as Destroyer sat patiently as a small device before him hummed to life, the image kind of fuzzy on the screen but decipherable nonetheless. The face of a man was on the screen, his red eyes glaring into Destroyer's face like hot embers from a fireplace, the intensity of them nearly driving the dark warrior to run away and forget his transmission. He never did so, however, and firmly stood his ground even as the man on the screen began to speak, his red eyes flaring up every couple of seconds as he did so.

"This had better be important Destroyer, I am a very busy man!" the figure on the screen growled, "Have you found the ones we are looking for yet?"

"Yes master, but the one known as Kimuchi is nowhere to be found and has not entered the Budokai as I had suspected," Destroyer nodded, "The other three are competing, but Kimuchi is not here. However, I have found the other Saiya-jin that we learned of from Prince Vegeta's memories."

"Oh?" the dark figure mused, "Do tell me more."

"Vegeta's children are here and both have tremendous power, though his son is by far the strongest fighter in this competition," Destroyer continued, "There are two others, however, named Son Pan and Son Goten, possibly the children of this Kakarot character that Vegeta mentioned so many times. The prince did say that this Kakarot had two children, correct?"

"Yes, but I was under the assumption that they were both male, though that is of little concern to me now," the dark man shrugged, "Now that you have a gauge on the fighter's max powers, there is no more reason to hold back on these Earth fools. Kill them all, immediately!"

Destroyer grinned maliciously as he shut the video screen off, putting it back into his cloak as he headed out of the waiting area and took off into the air before preparing his strike. He had seen the power of these human fighters and they were nothing in comparison to Destroyer himself, the only ones who would pose any serious problem would be the Saiya-jin and any other alien fighters. Energy crackled through Destroyer's entire being as he slowly raised his power to it's maximum, not wanting to arouse any suspicion from below, and a sick smile played over his features.

"As you command, so it will be done, my master," Destroyer chuckled, his black aura surrounding him, "The poor fools won't know what hit them!"

The ring had required minor repairs after the last fight with Goten and Ubuu, considering that they hadn't really gotten into it very much, but everything was fixed now and the crowd was ready for another fight. Not that they were the only ones, seeing as Trunks was positively dying to test his powers against this new comer, who was apparently trained by Yamcha for the last couple of years. The new fighter himself looked quite ready to go as well, his eyes twinkling with excitement as he prepared for the match with a few quick stretches.

This new fighter was very strange in Trunks' opinion, mostly because of the fact that he had sea green hair, which he kept tied up in a tight pigtail, and what looked to be golden eyes. The Saiya-jin had never seen such an eye color before, though the green hair wasn't really a big deal, but there was something off about his aura as well, a lot like the way Ubuu's aura felt like it had been recycled or something. Trunks simply shrugged it off as worry before the big fight, but didn't have any more time to think about things as the announcer jumped into the ring to announce the start of the match.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that last match was a real treat, but I can assure you that this match will be just as exciting!" the announcer beamed, "Our first fighter is well recognized as the president of Capsule Corp. and a former Junior Division champ, but sorry ladies, he's spoken for! The son of Briefs Bulma and former Budokai great Vegeta, let's hear a big round of applause for Briefs Trunks!"

The crowd went crazy with excitement as Trunks walked out of the waiting area and waved to the masses, picking out one blonde woman in particular and blowing her a kiss from the ring. Marron broke out into a faint blush and smiled sweetly at her husband, though many of the other women mistook the gesture and fainted from the sight of the dashing young prince. Trunks didn't really care, however, as he was bonded to Marron and those other woman would never effect him again, so he just gave one more wave as he awaited his opponent's arrival.

"Alright folks, now for our second competitor today and I can assure you that he's no slouch either!" the announcer continued, "Not much is known about this newcomer to the Budokai arena, except that he has been trained for the last three years by another Budokai great, Lonewolf Yamcha. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the newest addition to the arena, Misaki Bonzar!"

The green-haired fighter, upon hearing his name, walked out of the waiting area and towards the ring, receiving what he supposed was pity applause cause they knew he wouldn't win the match. The young warrior was dressed in the modified gi of the Kame School, the turtle symbol still on the back, but the coloration was red and black rather than the classic colors that Goku had worn. Not that it really mattered, as the uniform was that of a friend and ally, so Trunks greeted his opponent with a warm smile as he fell into stance.

As Bonzar did likewise, Gohan caught sight of something familiar in the human warrior's stance, something that he hadn't seen for himself since he was but a small child years ago. The familiarity of it sent a noticeable shiver down the Saiya-jin spine as he looked down at the two warriors, who were both sizing each other up even as Gohan stared at them intensely. Kimuchi caught sight of this and put a hand on his cousin's shoulder, pulling Gohan out of his trance-like state of being as the younger man rubbed his temples to try and clear his head.

"Something the matter Gohan?" Kimuchi asked, "You look like you've seen a ghost! Is it the fight?"

"No, it's just...deja-vu I guess," Gohan shook his head, "I feel like I've met that guy Bonzar before somewhere, but I just can't place it! His energy feels so damn familiar and I don't even know from where!"

"Probably best that you don't know for now Gohan, otherwise you might end up killing the poor guy," Kimuchi mused, smiling at his cousin, "After all, childhood memories should remain buried in the past..."

The two Saiya-jin had been so caught up in their own thoughts that they never even heard the announcer begin the fight, but they did notice that the fight never got started as a beam of red energy slammed into the ring. Still not powered up and unprepared for such an attack right away, both fighters were thrown from the ring and into the stands by the force of the beam. Gohan's eyes shot up immediately to the middle of the arena, which was now nothing more than a smoldering black hole, and glared at the one standing in the center.

Destroyer was standing in the center of the ring, a smirk plastered on his face as he folded his arms over his chest defiantly, his black aura wavering all around him as his dark energy filled the air within the stadium. It made the older human fighters cringe just at the enormity of it, not having felt so much energy from one being in many years, and even the younger humans looked fearful as they prepared to rush the dark warrior. Gohan wanted to call out to warn them against such a move, but he was too late as the four remaining human warrior's charged at Destroyer.

The dark fighter was not impressed as Yuno, Tien's son and prized student, swung his left leg at Destroyer's head only to have him grab the human man's leg and fling him hard into a spike on the waiting area's archway. Blood seeped out of the puncture wound as Yuno dangled there, still alive though just barely, as Destroyer saw to the other three men, each with a different hair color. The first two, one with blue hair named Bruno and another with red named Jace, were easy to take out as Destroyer punched both of them in the stomach, knocking the wind out of them. The third one, a purple haired teenager named Yugin, was slightly more difficult, but was taken out nonetheless in record time as the dark fighter cracked his ribcage with his knee.

The sight of those four warrior's falling so easily to the dark one was a true testament to just how powerful he really was, his black aura fluctuating sporadically as he awaited the next round of fighters. The Saiya-jin were not afraid to oblige him either as they all powered up to the second level, save Bra, as she couldn't reach that level and was busy gathering up the injured warriors. Sanil and Ice decided it would be best to help Bra out with that, seeing as they knew they wouldn't last long against Destroyer, though Ubuu opted instead to stand and fight against the dark one.

"So, you monkeys can all fight at this level, and you even kept two of your filthy kind hidden from me!" Destroyer chuckled, "Impressive, but it does you little good, as you are all going to die anyway!"

"We'll see about that ugly!" Pan spat, "I still owe you from earlier..."

"Then why don't you show me what you've got, little girl?" Destroyer laughed, throwing his cloak away to free his movements, "I can't wait to pound you into the dust, just like I did to your little boyfriend earlier..."

"SHUT UP!" Pan roared, her power rising, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Destroyer cocked his head to the side in amusement as Pan charged at him for all she was worth, swinging her fist at his head only to have the blow pass through thin air as Destroyer blurred out of sight. The young Saiya-jin was at a loss for words as the dark one reappeared behind her and slammed Pan into the ground hard, knocking chunks of dirt and debris into the air as he did so. Everyone in the audience was at a loss for words, not knowing what to make of this development, but kept silent for fear of invoking the evil man's wrath against them.

Pain rocketed through Pan's body as she tried to get back on her feet, the force Destroyer put behind that one blow more than enough to make her head spin as she figured out how he earned such a name. A small trickle of blood ran down the side of the Saiya-jin teen's face, soon to be followed by another as Destroyer brought his foot out and kicked Pan in the side of her head. The young Saiya-jin wasn't even able to stop herself as she soared through the arena wall, coming out the other side as some of the stands came crashing in on themselves.

"And to think, you are the daughter of this Kakarot that even Prince Vegeta was afraid of!" Destroyer laughed, "What a joke!"

"Um...Pan is Goku's granddaughter, not his daughter," Ubuu spoke up, catching Destroyer's attention, "Whoever gave you that information was sadly misinformed."

"But...she has the same name as this Goten character and it said she was related to him," Destroyer growled, "Who else could be the child of this mysterious Saiya-jin if not her?"

Destroyer got his answer in the form of a boot to the side of his head, knocking the dark warrior hard across the ground before finally coming to a stop just before hitting the stands. The dark warrior looked infuriated that someone had gotten the drop on him, his eyes burning with malice as he looked to see who it was that attacked him, his eyes widening with shock as he did so. The attacker stood within a blazing golden aura surrounded by spurts of blue energy, his muscles massive and golden-blonde hair reaching down to the man's knees.

"I am the eldest son of Goku, Son Gohan, and that was my daughter you just injured Destroyer!" Gohan growled, his aura rising, "And I can promise you that I will make you suffer for daring to lay a hand on her!"

Author's Notes: As I'm sure you can gather, this version of Destroyer is much more powerful than the one I had in the original story and more savage, just to make things more interesting for the readers. I had at least one reviewer who wondered when he's make an appearance again and, seeing as Trunks was the strongest Saiya-jin competing and he didn't know of Gohan and Kimuchi, he had no reason to keep waiting. Now, at his full power, he easily outclasses all of the Saiya-jin, but I can assure you they are going to pull something special out of the bag to defeat him!

The next chapter will focus around the Saiya-jin struggling to fight against Destroyer and beat him, which won't be easy considering the power difference, but it should be fun to write nonetheless. Also, a familiar face will make his presence known as the battle wages on Earth, though he won't go down there to fight but merely observe. To find out who this guest is you'll have to stay tuned!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to one of my other stories, Lost Souls, which is a prequel to DB:AS and reveals just why Bonzar and three of the other Kame students are so familiar. Hardly anybody reads that story and I would appreciated it if some of you might give it a look, please? Just to warn you now, Lost Souls has been put under an R rating due to language, violence, mature themes, and sexuality in the most recent chapters. Thanks again and now, onto the readers!

Draco the Destroyer: It's not that I don't like Ubuu, cause I do, but I don't like the fact that they put him so far ahead of the Saiya-jin but left Goten and Trunks, who are both older than him, in the dust during GT. As for Goten knowing Instant Transmission and how he learned it, all we be revealed as things move on but suffice to say that it was something he considered necessary. Thanks for reviewing and offering to pimp out my story to others! Look forward to seeing you in the next chapter.

Ilthary: No, nothing is wrong with me personally, I'm just having to cut down on my writing time because of school, which is my first priority with the stories coming up only afterwards. I'll still try to update as often as possible, but a couple stories have been put on the bench for now until I can get a couple more finished and have time to work on them again, such as the nearly complete Trunks Revisited. Hope to see you again soon!

WeirdDutchGuy: Destroyer is back in the fold and sick of playing around with these 'pitiful Earth creatures', so you no longer have to wonder what he was up to during the other fights. Now you'll get to see him fighting at his fullest potential against the Saiya-jin warriors at their best, so stay tuned to see how it all plays out! I'll see ya when that time comes!

Everyone Else: Thank you for your reviews and I hope you have enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I did writing it. I'll look forward to hearing what you all think about this chapter as well, so read and review, okay? See ya then!
