This chapter might not be long… but… I don't know… I just don't know how long this is going to be… this just is the return of the Black Arms… so read.

Disclaimer: Forgot to do this when the sword was introduced… I also do NOT own anything in relation to the game (which I doubt you've played), Brave Fencer Musashi. There I said it. –eye twitches-

Episode 12: Return of the Black Arms

My POV

I was in a rage-filled haze as I stopped myself from stomping on Zach's face long enough to see the familiar red vortex in the sky… an eerie sight. It was happening again… the first time, we might not have witnessed… but this time… we were there… watching it happen. Again.

"This is a draw… for now… we need to see what that is all about." Zach said, regressing to a normal form, but keeping his Byakugan on.

"Listen, first WAKE UP MY teammates, you go check it out for now, I need to complete this sword…" I said, pulling out Lumina and holding it high.

"Where do you get off…?" Zach began, but I was gone. I got back to the campsite just in time to see them awaken. They were tired, and did not yet see the beating that was upon me.

I turned my back to the two of them as they got up… they didn't see the injuries I had sustained, or the massive energy loss I endured. All I could say, (mostly due to the fact that I was still very pissed off) was "Good, you're finally awake… now let's go!"

"But--" was all that could come out of Amy's mouth before I exploded, not realizing just who I was yelling at, my injuries, my scarlet eyes all showing at once as I vented my full rage: "Let's go, dammit! I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS DAMN SWORD BEFORE THEY COME AND WRECK THE (rock falls) PLACE!"

The rose hedgehog let out a gasp mostly due to the fact I exploded at her, of all people, the scarlet eyes and injuries startling her all at once. Sonic looked at me with wide eyes, gazing at my injuries.

"You guys were asleep this whole time—IT WAS HELL TRYING TO TAKE THREE PEOPLE EVEN WITH MY POWER, MAINLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE NOTE WAS FROM TEAM NEUTRAL!" I vented, my eyes turning deep crimson at the rage bottled within. My eyes began to twitch, and then I calmed down, my eyes turning back to the gold color.

Wrong people to yell at, you twit…

Zach's POV

The overconfident scum… where the hell does he get off giving me orders? Me, an elite Saiyan! Why I'll—

"WILL YOU WAKE THE HELL UP AND COME ON ALREADY ZACH? DAMMIT, THEY'VE COME BACK!" Shadow yelled, skating off into the distance with the bat by his side.

One of this days Corey one of these days… POW! Right in the kisser… was I all I could think before running after them, my Byakugan seeing their energy points (Refer to Naruto's latest episodes) all the way… good thing this wasn't X-ray vision. I had stolen a great deal of energy from my arch-rival, cousin, and friend, so I was ready. I reached into the pocket for the three Chaos Emeralds… but… they were gone!

Where the hell are those Chaos Emeralds? I had them… oh man Corey, you must have needed them really badly to resort to thievery…

I shook my head as to how he could sink so low… but then again… he might need it for what was awaiting him.

We emerged from the forest into a clearing, large enough to be at the point of it all. A large gust of wind flushed over the team, and I put my hands up, seeing my own energy points in the process.

Several thousand black creatures emerged from the hole, descending on this place, the Sunset Vista, as Corey put it. I saw, from the corner of my eye, Shadow's eye go wide. I knew then what we were dealing with.

The Black Arms… an alien race who is the Black Ops worst enemy…

I turned to face the leader, Black Doom, who had three eyes and wore a really long "dress" thing.

"So, it's you… again." Shadow said, going into a battle position, but before anything could happen, Black Doom interjected.

"It's useless to resist, Shadow… this planet will be destroyed by the Black Asteroid's impact on Earth!"

"Black Asteroid…?"

"The Black Comet reformed a few weeks after you blew it up, combining within an asteroid field to produce an asteroid big enough to wipe out the Earth completely, leaving behind what would be left of it… of course, wiping us out in the process… but the point being… justice to the humans will be served."

"Not that fast… I and my cousin have more than enough power inside to wipe the Asteroid out… I guess…" I said uneasily, but not backing down.

"Pitiful humans… don't know when they're beaten yet… until, that is, it's too late!" Black Doom muttered, but I had heard him.

"One thing you should know about my cousin, that orange marsupial, and I… we are not… ordinary humans… I am Zach… a Saiyan that was sent to Earth to destroy it… now I must do nothing to it… THIS IS WHO I, Myself, am! My cousin, Corey, the Saiyan raised on Earth stopped me… changed my life to the better, and we are also rivals… he is filled with rage… whenever he gets angry… he loses control of himself… he is all that he is… Crash Bandicoot, the marsupial who was stupid enough to fall into needles filled with Saiyan blood, and inadvertently ended up being a half-Saiyan, half-bandicoot with the ability to talk… THAT IS WHO WE ARE! THE THREE SAIYANS, TOGETHER WE FORM THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS TEAM SAIYAN!" I shouted, my rage sending me over the limit.

"Mr. Saiyan… now you and your team must absolutely eat some of our most advanced minions…" As if on Black Doom's cue, fifteen Black Arms giants descended, surrounding us. I got ready to fight, unsure of what was happening at the moment…

I know this was shorter than most chapters, but this is a placeholder chapter, right before the second main enemy is unleashed. So R&R!
