I wish I owned DBZ, but I don't. I own DVD's and tapes, but it just isn't the same. I also don't own the rights to Starcraft or any of the music pieces you see selected, just copies of merchandise, such a shame. The artists that created them are geniuses and we all must bow to them.
Chapter 7: The Dominion Fleet
At first I couldn't go beyond my ki powers, something was blocking Psi out just like the previous day. I pushed and pushed but couldn't activate my Psi. Then I found the source of the problem, it was the Zerg tissues that had fully moved into my tail and feet. My tail wasn't a big contributor to it, so I used my ki to power up more and push the Zerg tissue right off my feet. It didn't come off willingly, until I gave it a nice hot ki blast. It melted off and my Saiyan skin resurfaced, a bit burnt. Then my Psi opened up like a floodgate, and I assumed my Super Mystic state almost instantly once I refocused my angry emotions. Green lightning of Psi and ki put together surrounded my aura and I stared down the soldiers.
"Whoa, what the hell is he?"
"Dunno, never seen anything like this!"
"Dude, with that silver hair, we could make a bundle, let's cut some of it off!"
"Yeah, that's a good idea! Go ahead and try it!" I growled, catching their frightened attention immediately, "You will die slow for what you have done!" I pointed at the one marine in particular. Then I rushed in and punched through his armor, shredding him of it and breaking all ribs that came in contact with my fist. I had missed the leader and the others on purpose, who was calling for backup at the moment.
"All units, all units! I found the kid about three miles southwest of base. He is highly dangerous and has killed one of my squad in record time. Requesting immediate assistance to anyone who can hear my, oh no, oh god, AHHHHH!" he screamed at the end as my foot collided with his skull, killing him instantly. I phased over to the first human that I had threatened, who was having trouble breathing.
"See what happens when you pick on others that are smaller than you, enjoy your stay in hell!" I shouted, blasting him into a pile of ashes and smoke. I noticed right away that when I summoned my ki to blast him, my Psi came with it already mixed together. I hadn't noticed that before, but then again I hadn't been transformed but a few times. A ki blast alone probably would have wiped him out, a mixed blast like that was overkill. The other three, who were busy shaking in their combat suits, barely kept their rifles steady, pointing at me.
"Surr..surrender!"
"I don't think so!" I said, keeping my stare at them. They opened fire and I watched the slow motion bullets come towards me. Quick as ever, I snatched the bullets out of the air, making sure to get the ones that would have flown past me and hit the cats.
"Impossible, how did he do that?" one asked. The other two didn't answer, but all three started to run in the other direction when I gathered all of the bullets into one hand and powered some energy into them. Then I stepped into a side stance and fired them much like a baseball throw. The marines fell instantly, their own bullets came in at a much faster rate then their guns could produce, piercing their armored suits easily. I turned from the fallen marines and knelt down to the panther male, who was struggling to survive and was panting heavily. All of the panther females and cubs surrounded me. I sighed and put my hands over his chest and stomach. They glowed greenish-gold as I poured my collective energy into him. Using the healing technique I was still new at, I restored the panther's life and removed the metal shards that had injured him. I sat back and breathed heavily, making sure it worked. The male got up and licked its old wounds, but other than that was fine. I dropped my aura and smiled slightly as the females and cubs came and showed the male their love as well. Then one of the females came over and licked me in the face a bit.
I laughed and playfully pushed her off, "Hey, no problem, just watch out for those guys okay?" The entire pack seemed to appreciate my actions in saving their lives. One cub pulled over what appeared to be a rabbit and shoved it into my lap before backing off. My stomach growled just in tune, and I heated the dead rabbit with my energy to cook it. Then my stomach took over and I ate every last bit of the meat, though it didn't truly satisfy my appetite. The panther male then roared slightly, and the pack of cats crowded together and started to move out. I kept my smile on the family I had just saved and I watched them vanish into the distant bushes and trees.

I was sitting in mediation when a familiar cry of pain reached my mind. I had entered meditation to better master my Super Mystic form, after all just fighting in it for a short time wasn't going to completely master it. Not to mention it was like the third time I had reached the form, and all of the other times were very brief due to circumstance. The cry I heard reminded me heavily of the two Zerglings that I had allowed die at my side. I felt guilt along with sorrow, and the other panthers that had died came to my mind as well. I could still hear the cry of pain in my thoughts, and I was drawn to them. I rose into the air and acted on instinct, I had to save whatever was in pain. I blasted off towards it, its cry got louder as I got closer. I arrived to see many large ships and small flyers in the air, all of them Terran attack ships. They were attacking the Zerg base that had been established under my watch. Their big laser cannons were shredding the Zerg on the ground easily. The drones to collect minerals and gases had been killed as well. Their pain reached to my mind like the panther's did, and I decided to act. I shot a blast at the first attack flyer I saw, and it was destroyed quickly. This got the large fleet's attention, and they all turned to me. The small fighters came in first, firing lasers and guided missiles at me. I dodged the fire as much as I could, though the lasers managed to burn me a little. By dodging all the fire, I was unable to capitalize on their movements as they all swept in and out in a similar pattern. I stopped, letting some of it hit me as they all swept in. I phased out quickly and shot a quick beam into the pack as they almost collided with each other. That only left a few of the small flyers, and I dispatched them with the next few blasts. Then I turned to the large battleships. There had to be at least twenty of them, and judging by the armor plating, a simple quick blast wasn't going to do the job.
Well these aren't going to be as easy. That fact was made very clear when one shot a big laser beam at me. I dodged to the side of it, barely, and the heat from it burned my side. Another laser beam came at me, but I had time to fire another blast at it before it got too close. This ended in a mistake. The laser beam penetrated the blast and hit me in the stomach area, leaving a large burn mark and a whole world of pain. Oh great, their weapons are stronger than average, or maybe I should take them seriously! I gathered my energy into my Psi Sword, except a green sword popped up instead of a blue one. Okay that was odd, but since Super Mystic causes both energies to fuse together I suppose that should happen. I think I can still separate them, but then again maybe I shouldn't be worrying about this right now. This might be better to use at the moment.
The head ship fired again, and I swung my sword just in time to deflect it away from me. The laser vanished once I did, which felt slightly strange. It must be the concentration of this energy in my sword, seeing as the lasers penetrated my blast last time. The other ships turned and fired their lasers as well, but this time the effort continued. I swung my sword around and about quickly in a tight circle in front of me, striking the lasers and deflecting them before they could touch me. After several minutes of this they stopped firing, probably figured it was fruitless.
"Good, glad to see you've given up, now leave before I decide to destroy you!" I warned with a loud voice. The ships didn't respond, merely floated there, as if waiting for me to make the first move.
"Fine, but I warned you!" I shouted, sweeping in and preparing to attack. When I got within a few hundred feet of one, it turned its head towards me and locked in that way.
Then I saw some sort of red charge build up there. "Again, you must know it isn't going to work!" I challenged. Then the mother of all lasers came flying out of it, catching me way off guard. It struck with the force of Kid Buu's biggest energy attacks, and hurt just as much. I fell backwards but regained my control. My body felt like it was just steam rolled flat and managed to live through it. Then the other nineteen ships powered up a similar beam and aimed towards me.
"Oh no, not this time!" I said, flying up and away. The ships followed, and soon the giant laser beams fired and caught up to me quickly. As I was being chased by the fast lasers, I took note that they combined together to form a really big red beam. I need a small delay if I hope to dodge this one!
I turned and chanted, making sure the energy I was going to use stayed mixed, "KamehameHAAA!" My beam came out green and collided with the massive red one, but quickly shrank in size when the red overpowered it, mostly due to the fact that I had fired it to be a quick diversion. Nonetheless, it gave me just enough time to get out of the way of the red one as it rushed by. When I felt the heat coming from it go by, there was no doubt in my mind that it would have killed me, or at least incapacitated me. Wow, these weapons are even stronger than the Protoss! Then again they have controlled this area awhile, I suppose they would have to be this powerful. The ships wasted no time in firing their small lasers and pelted me while my back was turned. I fell to the ground in pain, landing harshly. I turned back up while on my knees, and my eyes widened to see the giant red beams were getting ready to fire again.
"Oh crap!" I managed to say. The attack never came. Instead a horde of orange and blue Zerg flyers came rushing in and attacked the much larger ships. The kamikaze scrounges exploded and poured acid on their hulls and the dragon like Mutalisks pounded them with chunks of hardened bone. The battleships attacked back and shot down many of the Zerg with one shot each. Their bodies struck the ground and littered the place with death. Their pain cried to me for help, and I intended to help them this time. I charged all available power into my hands and drew back for another attack, again like before both types of energy came out already mixed and ready to go. All of the ships were directly in a narrow path for one big blast, and thus I put forth nearly all of the energy I could find. This was going to burn me up with the power usage, but I felt that it was worth it. My beam turned teal-green in color due to the mixture of energy, and I noticed little specs of energy seemed to flow in around it, creating a sparkle effect. I already knew what attack I was going to use, but it was going to be so much stronger than the original that it's name wouldn't apply. As if I had it in my mind to begin with, I had a name for the new attack.
"Super Galic GUN!" I shouted, firing the green beam into the mess of battleships. The roar of power that it produced was amazing, and it tore through the lead ship like paper. I kept applying power until I saw this. Then I stopped the attack and watched my beam disintegrate the battleships quickly and sail off into space. I fell to the ground and dropped out of my Super Mystic form, panting and out of energy. I managed to sit up after a few minutes, recovering from what I had just used in power. It was a little while before I saw any Zerg come my way, surrounding me but not attacking. A large drone came up and stopped two feet away, looking at me close as I tried to get up. I stumbled and fell to the ground in front of it, as I was very exhausted. It didn't seem to mind, its huge pincers grabbed me by the waist and gently lifted me off the ground, heading for the main hive cluster.
Interlude 7.1 –Called Back-
General Duke sighed a bit when he saw the last transmission from his battleship fleet. "It seems this boy has powers that we do not understand, and if he's really with the Zerg, they may not be stopped now," his first officer said, looking a bit nervous.
"Quite correct number one, the boy is a powerful being to say the least. Being with the Zerg does not help either, prepare the remainder of the fleet to depart this burned world. We won't need to hunt any remaining Confederates here, more than likely they're already gone. Contact the capitol, and patch a private channel to the Emperor in my quarters, send a full report to him as well!" Duke ordered, marching into his office. He quietly sipped his coffee and smoked his cigar down to a nub before his transmission was put through.
"Ah, Edmond. I trust the Confederates are no longer a problem?" a voice from the screen asked.
"Yes, you could say that. Arcturus, they are not the reason I contacted you, have you received my report?"
"And read it over as well. A boy who can create energy waves without the use of technology, sounds like an old friend of mine," Mengsk grinned slightly.
"This single boy managed to wipe out most of my battle cruiser fleet, there were Zerg involved but they did not have much of an impact on the battle besides a distraction," Duke explained.
"Fine then, come back home. Sooner or later we're going to have to deal with the Zerg, powerful boy or not. Bring back all the data you have on him, no matter how insignificant," Mengsk ordered.
"Understood Arcturus," Duke said, blipping off the feed. How did the Zerg get a hold of such a powerful weapon without us knowing, we must explore this further, he thought, lighting another cigar.
A/N: Next time on DBV: Verto learns how the Zerg travel through space so quickly and has a nauseating experience from it. Meanwhile Vegeta and the others approach Frost's base, what will happen there? Tune in next time!
