Suffer the Children
BOOM! BANG! CRASH! Sky rupturing explosions ignited the sky in a sea of energy soaked fires, and furious flying fists. The black suited warrior known as the Judge was battling Androids 17 and 18. Screams of indescribable agony roared from the androids, feeling the powerful impact of the Judge's attacks. A powerful force knocked 18 down to the ground. "ACK" Android 18 coughed up globs of blood from her strangled throat.
The beautiful, blonde haired bionic woman stared down at her own blood, terrified at the sight of it. Android 17 angrily panted, his body lined with bloody scars, and torn patches of false flesh. Raw circuitry sparked from a gaping hole in 17's left thigh. "This is not possible; you're supposed to be DEAD by now, how the hell are you doing this?" Android 17 asked. The Judge simply stared at the teen in silence, his cold eyes never blinking.
Android 17 howled "I SAID ANSWER ME YOU FREAK". WHAM! The Judge plowed his elbow right into 17's gut, a bulging impact flexed very visibly on his mechanical spine. "Are you having fun yet child?" The Judge asked, his black gloved fingers tightly grasped over 17's right arm. "Here, let me kiss it and make it all better" The Judge sneered. The black warrior roared as he literally ripped 17's right arm right out of the boy's socket.
Maddening screams of pain gushed from 17's screeching lips, his arm sputtering globs of mechanical sparks, blood, and oil. The Judge then savagely smashed 17's own arm across his face, sending him to the ground alongside his sister. "What's the matter children, aren't you having a gay old time, huh, aren't you having fun NOW?" The Judge screamed. Android 18 stood up and flashed her twin eye laser beams directly towards the Judge.
A mysterious flash evaporated the Judge's body; he transported himself out of the beam's path. Android 18 gasped as the Judge stood right before her. BAM! A black hammer crushed into 18's face. The blonde girl crashed into a building screaming, feeling the building collapse and crumble all around her. "No one talks to us like that, now see what happens when you mess with a god" 17 said. The android fired a massive energy attack from his left arm.
The Judge stood still as the blast struck him, seemingly having no effect on him whatsoever. Android 17's face turned deathly pale, his mind was being raped by uncontrollable feelings of fear. A cold icy stare from the Judge glared hatefully into 17's terrified eyes. "God, God? Is that what you think you are little toy, is that what you truly believe?" Judge asked. Black fingered gloves opened up and charged a massive black energy ball up.
The Judge fired the energy blast right at 17, watching as it sliced through the boy's stomach like cardboard. "Ugh argh" the android gurgled, raw wiring and microchips sputtered from his gaping chest wound. The android was shoved down and crushed by the tightening force of the Judge's boots. The Judge hatefully snarled "You disgusting piece of cybernetic excrement. What the hell makes you so dam smug, that plastic trash in your organs?
Is that where this repulsive arrogance comes from? You make me sick, sick, SICK! Whether you have blood or oil running through your veins, there is nothing that makes you higher then anyone else boy. Such a pitiful creature you are. You have the intolerable gall to think you have the right to treat others like ants, just because you've got hardware wired through out your body. You're a mistake, a miserable, pathetic, worthless mistake of science.
And I think it's time to correct that mistake", the Judge raised a hand into the air to form another energy blast. Android 18 groaned as she weakly started to break free from the collapsed rubble. The black haired android started to panic, his eyes and face flooding with absolute terror. "No, no, no, no, keep away, keep away from me" Android 17 pleaded. The Judge aimed the blast right at the sniveling android and hissed "Justice will be served". KABOOM! Android 17 was completely vaporized by the attack.
Android 18's eyes swelled up with tears of stinging pain, hearing her brother's painful screams burning in her ears. "He can't be Sayian or a human, and he's not an android, so what, what the hell is he?" Android 18 whimpered. The young girl's thoughts of darkness were quickly flying away, her heart felt like it was going to burst with fear. "Oh little girl, daddy would like to talk to you" The Judge said coldly, staring right at Android 18.
Android 18 stuttered "No, no I, I……AH! Get away from me".
The blonde girl ran off into the distance, running farther and farther away from the Judge. In all her mechanical being, in all of her programming, nothing could have prepared 18 for this feeling of total terror. The Judge laughed as he slowly walked after her, chanting out loud to 18 mockingly.
The Judge shouted "That's right rabbit, you get running now".
Android 18 gasped as she ran and ran.
"Run rabbit, run……"
The blonde girl's eyes swelled with tears.
"RUN RABBIT RUN!"
Android 18 screamed "AHH".
A slicing blast of powerful energy sliced through Android 18's left leg, shattering her bionic flesh and steel bones into liquid paste. The young android dropped to her knees, squirming in maddening pain. The Judge's black boots could be heard loudly stomping closer towards the fallen female. 18 groaned in pain as she weakly tried to crawl away, but the Judge wouldn't allow it. The dark soldier smacked her back with his hammer.
The Judge hissed "Huh? That feels good? You like feeling helpless? You like feeling scared?".
Every question, every remark, every word brought another painful slam of the Judge's hammer onto Android 18's face. Each blow struck harder and harder, more flesh and more circuits cracked. The Judge panted as he stopped and stared down at Android 18.
"P-p-p-p-lease s-s-s-stop" Android 18 whimpered.
The girl turned and vomited out busted teeth, splattered amongst her tattered false flesh and mangled circuitry. 18's teeth lay next to her spurting arms, sparking live energy from her mangled wounds. The girl's face and body was now drenched in blood as she shivered uncontrollably.
The Judge replied "Never, I'll never stop because I know that your kind will never stop. How many lives would you have destroyed had I let you and your brother live, how many children would have been silenced by your thirst for blood? You're monsters, beasts, nothing but savage animals, and therefore you should be treated like animals. You don't deserve the right to exist".
The black hammer slowly rose up into the air, the shadow of the deadly weapon towering over 18's terrified eyes. Suddenly a pair of frost bitten hands strangled the neck of the Judge's black cloak. Trunks and Pan screamed as they tackled the black warrior from behind.
Pan growled "That's enough".
Trunks added "You don't have the right to kill her, it's not your call, and it never will be".
The Judge roared as he blasted the two teens off with a surge of raw energy. Trunks tried to get back up but the Judge bashed his hammer into him, Pan pleaded to the Judge. The man growled and blasted her into a department store window. Android 18 was still trying to weakly crawl away. Bulma's eyes started to tear as she shook her head.
Bulma shrieked "I can't take anymore of this".
The Judge jammed his foot into the back of 18's spine, raw metal crunched under the crushing force of the heel. The android's head weakly turned as best she could, her vision blurred by the massive blood stains. The shadow of the black hammer once again appeared as the Judge loomed over her.
The Judge frowned "Say your prayers android. Don't know any? That's okay, I do, I got a real good one for you too, and I think it's gonna fit right in with your situation. I saw it in a movie once; it goes like this……
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness.
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you"
The final screams of Android 18 were snuffed out in a slicing crackle of sliced flesh and metal. The thumping sound of a bouncing object could be heard. Trunks weakly opened his eyes to the two figures, immediately regretting it as he saw 18. The blonde girl's head was rolling slowly towards a lamp post, an expression of absolute terror painted on her dead face.
Trunks gasped "Holy crap".
Indeed, the Judge had sliced off 18's head with a final swing from his mighty hammer. Dark eyes glared at the struggling boy lying on the ground, his frost covered eyes glaring with hatred.
"Now it's your turn" The Judge scowled.
Trunks growled and flared a powerful golden glow of Super Sayian energy, the Judge's eyes widened with obvious surprise. Trunks attacked the Judge with everything he had, punching, kicking, blasting, and assaulting the dark soldier with all his might. The Judge swung his hammer and missed Trunk's head. The boy vanished and reappeared right behind the Judge; he then placed his hands together and fired off his signature Burning attack.
The Judge growled as the blast actually fazed him, and forced his body to stand still. But the dark warrior wasn't done yet. Judge hurled his black hammer at Trunks, the boy instinctively dodged to the side to avoid it. It was then the Judge soared right up to him and plowed his fist into Trunks stomach. Bulging eyes poked out from Trunks pain stricken face, his voice lost in the gurgling gagging of his own spit. The Judge growled coldly.
After placing both hands above Trunks back, Judge fired a dark purple energy blast into Trunks body and blasted him right down to the ground. The staggering Pan groaned as she wiped off chunks and shards of busted glass and plaster off her clothes. But the little girl's attention changed instantly, upon seeing her beloved best friend being blasted into the ground.
Pan screamed "Trunks, NO".
The Judge landed in front of the fallen Trunks and quickly raised his hammer to the boy's purple haired head.
Angrily, the Judge said "You should have left me alone boy, justice will be served no matter ARGH".
A colossal energy blast suddenly slammed into Judge's black caped back. The wicked man growled angrily as he turned his hate filled eyes towards Pan, seeing the girl standing there with her hands aimed at him.
Pan snapped "Don't you even touch him creep face, I'm warning you".
The Judge frowned "Empty threats little girl, you don't stand a chance against me and you dam well know it. I really don't want to kill you or you're friend but you leave me no choice".
Suddenly Trunks grappled the Judge's legs and tightly bound those legs together, another figure then leapt onto the Judge's back. It was Bulma.
"What are you doing?" The Judge gasped.
Bulma growled "Something I should have done years ago murderer".
Trunks called to Pan "Pan, this is your chance, nail him, now".
The young Sayian girl soared towards the 3 struggling figures at top speed, her little fist reared back and ready to strike. During the violent struggle, the Judge tossed and shook his body free of Bulma and Trunk's hold. But not before Bulma's nails dug into the back of the Judge's dark hood. The hood was ripped off, revealing the Judge's hidden face.
Trunks blinked "What the hell?".
Pan's eyes widened "I don't believe it……Grandpa Goku?".
