Chapter 31: Kotari's Heritage
The newly transformed Kotari stood there with her fists tightly clenched. Shay and Max looked upon her in terror. Kotari's red eyes spelt out death for the two. Her appearance to them sent chills down their spines. There was nothing that they could do to make itseem like they were going to win; looking at her made them feel like they were going to lose.
"I am no WEAKLING!" Kotari shouted again. The burst of energy disappeared around as she lunged forward. She slammed her fists into Max and Shay's stomachs. Their bodies jerked forward making a sideways V. Kotari pulled her fists out of their stomachsandthen threw them upward into their bottom jaw. Their bodies went flying into the air with Kotari following them.
Shay felt someone grab onto her ankle tightly. She looked down to see Kotari there with her red eyes glaring at her. She then swung her into her partner Max. Kotari appeared behind them launching a powerful ki beam into them sending them back into the ground. Kotari followed them into the dust cloud that formed when Shay and Max hit the ground.
The audience and the team could hear the beatings that Kotari gave to Max and Shay. It was amazing at how fast she was going. Not even Goku or Piccolo could follow her moves. One minute she would be in front of Shay and Max then the next she would be behind them. She had an extraordinary power that kept on climbing and climbing.
The thing fueling Kotari's power was Borox. The words that Borox had spoke to the young girl rung in her head. Also the word weakling rung in her head as well. She wasn't a weakling. She wasa strong fighter no matter if she's half human. But something inside of Kotari told her that she wasn't a child of Borox. She was part of some other race. But which one? Which race did she belong to? And why was she dropped off at Borox's door? There must be a reason to it.
No matter what it is, Kotari saw Borox as her father. And what kind of father would call their daughter a weakling? One that is obsessed with power that's who. Kotari was going to show him that she's strong that she isn't some weak fighter because of her human emotions. She's a fighter. She's a strong fighter. And she's proving it to him right now.
Talli, Jakx, Kui, Loji, Guru, Jinx, and Borox stood in shock at their teammate's power. They couldn't believe at how much her power rose. To them, she was the strongest fighter in the universe. They've never seen someone's power that high. They couldn't believe it. Kotari, a young girl at the age of thirteen had transformed into something so powerful that's going to win the match for them. But how? Was it her rage that caused this transformation?
"Borox…" Jinx called with her mouth hanging open. Borox turned to face her. "Maybe… Goku and Vegeta are right." She said.
"What do you mean?" Borox asked.
"Maybe it is… her human emotions that's fueling her power. Her rage of you calling her a weakling and her opponents calling her a weakling has fueled her so much that she transformed into a powerful fighter." Jinx explained to him.
"No." Borox quickly came out with. "That's not it."
"You idiot!" Loji shouted. Borox turned and faced him. "The saiyans are right! Her emotions is feeding her power! Her rage is feeding her power! From you calling her a weakling is what had tapped into her hidden power!" he shouted.
"No matter what you say Loji… nothing is going to change that fact that she's a weakling. She'll always be." Borox said to him.
"Come on brother!" Talli shouted walking up to her brother. "Its clear that Kotari is a strong fighter!" Talli smiled as she crossed her arms. "Oh… I see."
"You see what?" Borox asked.
"You think Kotari's a weakling because she suppressed your power." Kui answered. Borox looked away as his sister let out a small laugh as she shook her head.
"That's it isn't it? You can't accept the fact that Kotari is stronger then you." Talli said.
"Shut up." Borox mumbled.
"I can't believe that you would sink that low. Its your pride. Your pride is in the way of you seeing that Kotari's a strong fighter." Talli said turning to the team.
"I said… SHUT! UP!" Borox turned around and hit his sister knocking her to the ground. Talli's nose began to bleed as her son ran up to her.
"Mom!" Jakx shouted out. He got down to her side. He could see the pain rushing through her face. Jakx faced his uncle. "WHY DID YOU HIT HER UNCLE BOROX!" Jakx shouted.
Suddenly, Guru grabbed onto the collar of his father's shirt holding him tightly as he pinned him into a nearby wall.
"Are you crazy father!" Guru shouted shaking him. "You could've knocked a piece of Talli's nose bone off and it could've killed her!" he shouted.
"She should learn to shut her mouth." Borox said coldly to his son.
"NO!" Guru shouted slamming himinto the wall. "You need to learn to let go of your pride!" Loji and Kui walked over and preyed Guru off of his father. Guru struggled to get out of their grip. "I'M DISGUSTED TO CALL YOU FATHER!" Guru shouted. The words didn't faze Borox at all. He turned his head and looked at the battle that raged on.
Kotari continued to pound on Shay and Max. There was no energy left for them to fight with. But every time Kotari would knock them down, they got right back to their feet.
Shay had gathered up a little bit of energy forming a ki ball. She threw it at Kotari who charged at her with tremendous speed. Kotari held her hand in front of her face. She then flicked the attack away from her at the audience. They all screamed as they ran out of their seats. But Kotari had noticed the attack. She came to a sudden stop. She turned and looked at the attack that could kill thousands of people. She turned and looked at Shay and Max who sat on their knees.
Kotari knew that they weren't going to go anywhere. She turned and lunged into the air flying next to the attack. She placed her hand out in front of it pulling it to a stop. She then picked it up mixing it with her own energy. Then, she threw it back at Shay and Max.
Shay and Max's eyes widened. They jumped out of the way as the attack hit the ring. It blew off a corner of the ring but nothing that it couldn't be replaced. Kotari lunged back at them with her fists clenching at her sides. She launched herself into Max's chest. Max began to gasp for air as she felt one of her lungs collapse. Kotari then pulled her body away as she placed her hands onto Max's chest. She then gathered up an attack.
"HAH!" Kotari's attack went right through Max's body. The attack was so powerful that it blasted Max's heart right out of her chest. Kotari turned and faced Shay.
Shay watched as her partner fell to the ground with an empty chest. Blood appeared all over the ring floor. Shay couldn't believe at how strong this girl was. She was shocked and a little bit scared.
Kotari placed her feet onto the cold concrete floor. Her shoes clapped against the concrete as she walked towards Shay. Shay's body began to shake uncontrollably as she filled with fear. She began to crawl backwards away from Kotari as she just came closer and closer to her. Shay felt her hand slip off of the ring. She looked behind her as she turned looking back at Kotari who stopped.
Kotari was now standing in front of Shay looking down at her. Kotari's red eyes made contact with Shay's ice cold eyes. Kotari stared for a few moments without saying anything. Shay settled herself onto her knees looking away from Kotari's red eyes. She bowed to the young girl and began to beg.
"Please… please don't kill me. I beg you." Shay begged. But Shay's hidden face began to smirk as Kotari began to speak back to her.
"Why should I let you live?" Kotari asked coldly. Shay wiped the smirk off of her face as she looked up at Kotari.
"Because… you wouldn't have the heart to kill me… would you?" Shay asked. Kotari's stare turned into a cold glare. Her hand suddenly latched itself tightly onto her throat. She lifted Shay off of her knees as she listened to the gagging sounds. Kotari narrowed her eyes at her as Shay closed her eyes feeling the very life being sucked from her.
'I can't kill her… she begged… and she's helpless. I will not stoop down to my father's level where he would kill her in an instant.' Kotari's grip became lose till Shay dropped out of her hand and onto the ground. Kotari stared down at her. "Will you admit defeat?" Kotari asked. Shay coughed and cough. Soon her coughing… oddly turned into soft laughter. Her soft laughter then turned evil as she got to her feet.
"NEVER!" Shay lunged her fist forward into Kotari's stomach. Kotari gagged as she felt Shay's arm enter her flesh and exit out of her back. Screams from Kotari's family was heard along with a mix of her friends' screams. The audience gasped as Shay turned her arm.
Kotari's body jerked. Shay then ripped her arm out of her stomach as Kotari dropped to her knees. Shay then slammed her foot into her face knocking her flat on her back. Kotari placed her hands onto her stomach applying pressure as she felt her blood touch her pale white skin.
"Purple blood…" came Shay's voice. Kotari lifted up her head as she looked down at her wound. Her blood was purple. "You can't be…" Shay said to her. Kotari looked at Shay as she reached onto her knees.
"What can't I be?" Kotari asked lifting up her head to look at her opponent with her red eyes making contact with Shay's eyes once again.
"You can't be a Witian." Shay spoke. Kotari didn't understand her.
"What is a Witian?" Kotari asked.
"A race that always waged war. They loved to see blood shed. They loved to torture people. But you can't be a Witian because they were wiped out thousands and thousands of years ago." Shay explained.
"Well… whatever I am… I am no killer." Kotari said standing up onto her feet. Shay smiled as she landed another punch to her face.
"It's been thousands of years since I fought a Witian. Who would've thought that one lived with an Aquan family." Shay said. "I'm going to make you crave blood." Shay stated to her.
She then began to beat on her. Kotari was brought down to nothing. She kept on throwing her fists andkicks into her. She threw ki beams and blasts at her. Kotari was soon on her knees, weak from the blood that she's lost. She struggled to stay in her powerful state.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I was hoping that I would see your true power… but I guess your just a weakling!"
Weakling. Weakling. Weakling.
That word repeatedly was spoke into Kotari's mind. Kotari's eyes narrowed down onto Shay as she clenched her fisted tightly. Shay knew that she had finally tapped into her hidden power.
"What do you crave?" Shay asked.
"I… I want to see you DEAD!" Kotari lunged up onto her feet throwing her body into Shay. Kotari then wrapped her hand around Shay's neck and began to choke slam her into the ground over and over again. Blood splattered everywhere from Shay's head hitting the concrete floor so much.
Kotari then threw her opponent to the right. She lunged at her grabbing onto her ankle. Kotari threw her downward placing her onto her feet. Kotari grabbed onto her shoulder balancing her body up into the air.
"HAH!" two ki beams came out of Kotari's hands blasting Shay's arms off of her body. Shay screamed in pain as her blood streamed out of her like rivers. Kotari pushed herself off of Shay as she landed in front of her. Shay dropped to her knees looking up at Kotari. Kotari placed her finger onto Shay's forehead. Kotari smirked.
"Please! Please don't kill me! I'll surrender! I'll surrender!" Shay begged as she closed her eyes tightly.
"Not this time Shay." Kotari spoke. "I want to see your body lying dead at my feet!" Kotari launched an attack through Shay's head. Her eyes turned dark as her very soul left her body and went to the other world. Kotari took a step back as Shay's body fell forward onto the ground in front of her.
Kotari dropped out of her stated. Her midnight black hair turned back into its original color as did her eyes. Kotari stared at Shay's body with her eyes wide. She couldn't believe at what she had just done. She placed her hand over her mouth. The ref came over into the middle of the ring as he lifted up Kotari's hand.
"The winner! Kotari!" the crowd cheered. Kotari placed her other free hand onto her stomach that some how had stopped bleeding.
'What did I just do? I seriously wanted to see her dead at my feet. I really wanted to see her blood everywhere. Am… am I really a blood thirsty killer?'
"Kotari!" Guru shouted running up to her. Kotari turned and faced her brother.
"Guru… what… what did I do?" Kotari asked dropping to her knees weakly. Guru got down next to her.
"You won." Guru said handing her a senzu bean. "Pan had given this to me." He said to her. Kotari took the bean and stuck it into her mouth.
"Guru…" Kotari spoke as she regained her power. "I… I really wanted to see her dead."
Guru stared at her funny.
"Something inside of me… wanted to see her dead… something wanted to see her blood everywhere… I am a Witian."
