It was nearly twilight as the orange sky highlighted the stage.
Kakarrot was the first to move in a flash. He was all over Roshi. The two punched each other's fist and there was a sonic boom as a result. It then became a free-for-all as the others started to attack. Yamcha and Chi-Chi went right for Tien while Krillin went for Chiaotzu.
Bulma and Puar were loudly cheering while Oolong was looking quite scared and getting ready to make a run for it.
The Ribbons were watching with their guards focused on the UNIT agents.
The UNIT agents were confused as what to do so instead of watching the fight they were pointing their guns at the Ribbon soldiers in a standoff.
Launch was meanwhile on the sidelines looking miserable, visibly frustrated about not begin able to join in.
Kakarrot and Roshi were pulling no punches their fists smashing and grinding into each other, in bone crunching fury. Yamcha recklessly went after Tien not bothering to work with Chi-Chi. Krillin nervously charged after Chiaotzu, only to find that Chiaotzu wasn't using his powers at the time.
Kakarrot was knock backwards and slid to a stop on feet grinning like a wolf at Roshi who was looking at him with contempt.
Roshi with a sigh and a twinge of frustration "You've gotten a lot stronger. Your technique actually has form. Shen taught you a lot did he."
Kakarrot in a chuckle "What? Are you actually angry that I kill him? You realize his only goal in life was to apparently kill you right? You should be thanking me for ending that miserable old man's life!"
"You might be right in a sense, but it was not your call to make. He deserved a chance, everyone does."
"Yeah sure like the chance you're going to give me, right? Please! You were only planning to spare him because you knew him. Your mercy has some interesting results that I'm sure Chiaotzu and Tien can tell you about."
"I should have stopped my old friend years ago. So, to correct my mistake I'm going to stop you here and now."
"Now were talking!"
Roshi flexed his body and his muscles ripped through his shirt shredding them. Kakarrot smirked he was finely getting what he wanted.
The two exchanged blows having charged one another. They were evenly matched. Both were hurting at each blow. Kakarot kick Roshi on the arm and Roshi chopped him on the back. Roshi started to use the afterimage to Kakarrot's annoyance.
In the background Yamcha was getting rag dolled by Tien. Yamcha had taken a swing at Tien only to leave himself wide open. Tien responded by kick Yamcha in the knee possible shattering it. Tien then head-butted Yamcha making him go limp, only to be saved by Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi in midair grabbed hold of Yamcha and gave Tien a good kick to the stomach buying enough to get to the ground and dropped him off.
Krillin got the upper hand on Chiaotzu. Krillin gave Chiaotzu a good punch to face before Chiaotzu could get airborne sending him skidding away. Chiaotzu still wounded and completely unfocused was proving to not being up to Krillin's challenge.
Kakarrot angrily said "Is that all you can do old man hide!"
Kakarrot in that moment had let his guard down and Roshi got behind him. Roshi went to end this madness quick with a good chop to the neck only to find Kakarrot's hand waiting for him. Kakarrot head not facing Roshi "Let me guess you thought I had let my guard down?" Roshi jumped back and Kakarrot turned to face him. "You might think I learned nothing from you, but you would be wrong. Your piss poor definition of better man notwithstanding. I learned from my mistakes. I didn't take you seriously because you were an old man. You used every trick in the book and I was taken in by it. I learned to be a better hunter that day. I want to thank you for that."
Roshi in a spit "Keep your thanks monster I don't need it."
"But I do thank you. You showed me that there is always room for improvement more mountains to which to climb. What is a conqueror without foe? What is man without a challenge? Killing you will prove my worth. I am going to be god, little man you understand and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it."
The still wounded and exhausted Tien collapsed at the ground after Chi-Chi rang his bell repeatedly. Tien was still awake but in no position to continue. He landed on the tile managing to slow his descent. Chiaotzu was outside the ring on the grass in a daze having been kicked around by Krillin.
Krillin and Chi-Chi came to their master's side. Chi-Chi had come after having delivered Yamcha unconscious form to Bulma. Launch having decided that the real intense stuff was coming hobbled towards Bulma's group. As a standoff ensued between the Turtles and Kakarrot. Kakarrot's tail flicking around clearly excited as the area went silent.
Roshi standing up straight look at him with contempt and clarity said "It's over. Against me alone you would have stood a chance, but you are all alone against three. You have lost give it up."
Krillin looked smugly happy while Chi-Chi was far more tense something was wrong to her. She just didn't know what yet.
In a cold sweat Gero look into the sky the sun was setting and a full moon was rising. Gero was nearly in a panic. The last time this had happen a whole army base was nearly trashed. If it hadn't been for his safeguards Kakarrot would have kill him. He had assumed that the matches would have ended before the night.
Gero in a whisper "Green we may need to run."
"Why the fight is about to get interesting?"
"Well yeah and that's aw... sort of the thing because aw... the full moon is rising."
Green froze and looked to the sky his pale face went blue. He had seen the pictures. He said in a panic "Maybe leaving isn't such a bad idea."
The Ribbons slowly got out of their seats and began to shuffle to the exits trying to keep as low a profile as possible.
Kakarrot in a loud cackle "You know I have a certain party trick that I'm just dying to show you. It starts in just a few seconds if you're interested?"
Roshi and Krillin looked at him confused but Chi-Chi got more serious.
A red dot hit Kakarrot's face followed by many more that he ignored coming from a SWAT team that had come. The police had arrived and came in force pointing their high-powered rifles at Kakarrot. Screaming and shouting they ordered everyone to the ground and their hands up. Roshi sighed while the Announcer came from hiding with a smile on his face. He seemed to think that this was all over.
As the police barked orders and the UNIT agents and Ribbon soldiers were showing their IDs as Kakarrot said to Roshi and Chi-Chi "I don't they are going to like my party trick half as much as you."
Kakarrot turned his head and looked at the rising moon after that his tail twitched. His eyes changed color going from black to a sort of pink. The hair on his tail stood up as his tail froze. His body seemed to pulse with energy. His heart loudly beat to the point where it was audible. His body grew larger to the point that his loose gi now seemed tiny. The black and ashen grey gi ripped apart revealing a coat of brown hair not present before.
The cops stopped shouting as they stared. A lead detective panic screamed out "OPEN FIRE!" And hail of gun fire sounded off, all aimed at the growing Oozaru. The bullets however merely bounced of their target to the policemen's and UNIT agents' dismay. Kakarrot kept growing faster the longer it went on.
The all but the Ribbons were surprised to the point their jaws nearly hit the floor. Kakarrot finally hit Kaiju size as a giant monkey. With his blood red eyes practically glowing he let of a monstrous roar that shattered glass for miles around. In a panic the cops ran followed by the UNIT agent and then the Ribbons.
Launch's eyes as wide as they could go "Bulma I think its aw... time to leave."
"Yeah but I can't carry Yamcha on my own." Launch went to help her but only cringed in agony. She could barely keep herself up never mind help anyone else.
The Announcer who had at this point wet himself then rushed back to his hiding spot and curled up into the fetal position sucking his thumb.
Kakarrot in his new booming voice "So how you like it?" No one answered.)"See now that's what I thought. I'm personally not the biggest fan of this form. Hard to control. I run the danger of just going feral, but it does have the benefit of making me stronger and way more resilient. Now I hope you made peace with your self's because you're all about to die."
Roshi and the other jumped out of the way as Kakarrot went crashing down busting the floor of the arena.
Chi-Chi yelled out "Flying NIMBUS!" The bright yellow cloud came swooping down. She jumped on it while on the stands Bulma had a brainstorm. Out of her purse she took out Chi-Chi's power pole.
Bulma yelling "CATCH KID!" She threw it towards Chi-Chi on her nimbus caught it midair.
"Adorable you think that's going to help?"
Chi-Chi yelled out "Extend!" The pole went straight into his left eye as Kakarrot let out a pained roar.
In blind fury he swatted at the air trying to hit Chi-Chi. On her nimbus she managed to avoid the attacks easy enough. She was planning to merely buy time for her master to come up with a plan, but this appeared to be working. Kakarrot monkey face grew red with rage.
Tien how had managed to not be crushed by the broken arena. Had found safety on the sidelines was panting and looking quite worried. Kakarrot after all normal form was quick to rage and had barely got a hold of himself what would he be like with even less control.
"NO ONE MAKES A FOOL OF ME!"
A jet of fire came out of his mouth and towards Chi-Chi she dodged it and it went flying in the city. She gasped in horror as it hit the city center. Towers went down as a ki blast went off and fire raced through the area. Screams could be heard as the power went off around them.
Chi-Chi stared speechlessly at the carnage. Kakarrot having calmed at seeing her reaction.
Kakarrot snidely "O look what you made me do." Chi-Chi in a fury couldn't seem to talk due to rage she was practically snarling and growling at him to his delight. "Was it something I said?"
Chi-Chi took her power and with all her might wacked him on the head only to earn a chuckle from him "Ouch that almost tickled."
Krillin next to Roshi panting and panicking "This is insane!"
"That monster! Krillin you back up Cheech I'm going to charge for the Kamehameha."
Krillin nervously nodded and jump from the stands that they were at and ran aiming for Kakarrot tail which he hoped would be the creature's weak point.
The Ribbons now in full retreat were meet by the UNIT agents and the cops outside pointing guns at them as in the background the screams of the dying could be heard. Gero and Green put up their hands and their men dropped their rifles.
Frank authoritatively "Now talk damn it! How do we stop it?!"
Gero was panting physical excise wasn't his thing "I have no idea of what you're on about?" Frank cocked his pistol. Gero cringed a bit. "Well I would be remised to inform you that we are all about to die crushed by my grandson in a monkey rage."
"So, then we die."
Gero talking quickly "Aw well you see… Aw the well the truth of the matter is that. I do not fully understand it myself really. I understand that a form of radiation that the moon reflex unfiltered seem to be the cause of this and his tail seems to be the manufacturing organ of this transform. But other than those two facts I am quite in the dark about the processes at work here myself. I always wanted to know more about it but the sad fact is that. My grandson sort of goes feral and kill crazy when in this form. His already beyond human strength is increased by magnitude of ten at least. The older he gets the more in control he seems to be but it's hard to tell."
"What will he do?"
"My guess after he is finish with the fighters, he will lay waste to the countryside slaughtering all in his path."
Frank in a deflated sigh "Well then that settles it."
Frank takes a radio out of one of his back pockets and says "Almighty, Almighty this is PBR street gang over."
"This is Almighty over."
Frank pauses his eyes twitch he looks ill at what he is about to say "Almighty PBR street gang requires a Tactical at coordinate's eight by thirty-nine south, hundred and fifteen by thirteen east over."
Radio operator nervously asked, "Tactical over?"
"Can you confirm Almighty over."
Radio operator hesitatingly stated, "Roger PBR street gang Tactical to eight by thirty-nine south, hundred and fifteen by thirteen east over."
"Wake the Prime Minister if you have to but I need that strike over."
There was silence everyone had heard that conversation but only the Ribbons and Bill seemed to know what was going on.
Bill without breath "What are we going to do?"
Frank shaky but sure "Wait we have to make sure it hits him directly we don't want a chance of this thing getting loose. Sorry kiddo I guess this will be your first and last mission."
Gero now gone from stunned terror to angry fury "Sorry yes that's real comforting. YOU JUST KILLED US ALL!"
"Better us then the world. You would have used that monster to crush cities, level mountains and lay waste the kingdoms of man. I'm sorry all these people have to die but we both know far more would have died if I didn't do this."
"So what? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?!"
"You could duck and cover if you want."
"O come the fuck on!"
"Sorry doctor you're just going to have to stand here and wait die like a good soldier."
Krillin wacked Kakarrot on the tail sending a wave of pain over him. His tail wacked Krillin sending him flying to the stands. The action kicked up a bunch of tiles and sent it towards Chiaotzu who was crawling away. It wacked him to Tien's dismay.
Tien screamed out to Kakarrot "Careful brother you nearly killed Chiaotzu!"
Kakarrot did not either hear or care as his feet violently stomped around as he swung at Chi-Chi saying, "I'm going to crush you little girl!"
Tien looked again at the devastation that Kakarrot had caused then saw Chiaotzu painfully moving. Tien summon what strength he had left and rushed over and grabbed hold of Chiaotzu. Gripping him tightly he ran to were Krillin was help the other move.
In a pained breath he yelled "Wait!" They looked at him in angry until they saw his friend in his arms.
"Please take him." He handed Chiaotzu to Bulma. "I going to help your friends. I'm sorry for all I have done you. Just make sure Chiaotzu survives he's better than me and does deserve any of this. I do. Tell him to live well."
Tien ran off his face one of determination, he knew what he needed to do. His word were a shotgun blast of a shock to them.
Launch mumbled "What a man." at this and Bulma's grouped moved as Tien came to Roshi's side and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Kakarrot let out another fire blast which hit somewhere in the jungle. Using this distraction his hand got a hit on Chi-Chi with a swat to her back. She fell of her cloud and went tumbling to the ground. Her cloud went to catch her but Kakarrot hand went to grab her.
Roshi hurriedly "SAVE MY STUDENT!" Tien jump and flew top speed towards Chi-Chi. Tien yell out "BROTHER OVER HERE!" He fired a dodon ray at Kakarrot.
Which Kakarrot easily blocked by moving his crushing hand in defense. Tien grabbed the unconscious Chi-Chi midair. He hit the ground rolling.
Kakarrot growling looked at Tien with Chi-Chi in his arms. "I need an explanation now! Why are you holding my property and why did you just shoot at me?"
"This is wrong! You nearly killed Chiaotzu and you just kill a bunch of people that have nothing to do with this fight."
Kakarrot roared out "Who cares! These worthless people and don't concern me! I aim to kill Roshi and anyone else in my way. And I guess that includes you too now traitor!"
Radio turned back on "PBR Street gang this is Almighty do you read me over."
"This is PBR street gang I read you over."
"We have confirmation, repeat we have confirmation. War room is in an agreement. Your little boy is on the way, courtesy of the navy over and out."
Frank in a sigh "Well shit."
Everyone seemed to look to the ground as Bulma's group came out. Gero seeing an opportunity pulled a gun from his pocket and ran. Bill went to shoot him, but he ducked behind Bulma. Bulma screamed as he pointed a gun to her head.
Gero yelled out "I'm not dying here!" He pulled her by the arm leading back into the stadium followed by Bill. Launch tried to summon up the strength to whack Gero but couldn't. Gero back into the stadium followed by Bill with Bulma in his hands.
Kakarrot had grabbed ahold of Tien and was about to crush him. Went out of the corner of his eye he spied first his grandpa and then saw Roshi charging for one hell of a Kamehameha. He tossed Tien aside. His body slamming into the stands hard from the toss.
"So that's where you've been old man. It's all over now and the UNIT man with the gun should know that if you hurt my grandpa. That I can be creative when the moment called for it." Roshi's eyes closed he knew it was over there was no way that it would be strong enough to kill the monster. It was over.
Gero screamed out "THEIR'S A NUKE ON THE WAY!"
Kakarrot twitched "What?"
"They are going to nuke this place to kill you son. Grab me and let's go."
Kakarrot then looked into the air and smiled. His night vision was always amazing in this form. Kakarrot let out a chuckled then fired a blast of breath into the air. A massive explosion rocked the sky turning the night into brighter than the day for a moment.
Gero, Bulma, Bill and the Announcer were all in abject shock at this sight while Roshi seemed unimpressed.
"Is that all? You people are so boring all you have is your tricks and superweapons. Yet you forget I am GOD!" Gero let go of Bulma and began to clap feverously. To which Kakarrot took a bow to. "Thank you. You're too kind."
Gero with a crazed smile then looked at Bill and yelled "You see Pleb the glory of our new god the true king of kings. Bow before my masterpiece with not a single flaw left. My genius knows no limit. I knew I was right to not remove his tail!"
Roshi hearing this had a brainstorm "Tail his tail was the first thing to react to the moonlight. When Krillin touched it seem to hurt as much as the eye poke. With his tail cut that and he may lose his power."
A beam of light came from the stands hitting Kakarrot in the tail. Tien had fired it from the rubble Tien got to his feet and looked at Roshi. Tien mouthed "Don't kill him."Roshi nodded and Tien collapsed.
A pained look came over Kakarrot face as he began to shriek in pain and stepped backwards. His form began to change, his hair receded, and body shrank.
Roshi saw his moment he yelled out the words "KAMEHAMEHA!"
Kakarrot mid-transformation caught the blast but was sent hurdling backwards as he screamed. Gero looked pained and defeated as Kakarrot disappeared into the night sky. As another explosion went off. Bill came up behind Gero and placed handcuffs on his wrists. Gero didn't resist.
Bulma next to them asked Roshi "So we won?"
Roshi nodded 'yes' Bulma jumped into the air screaming "YES!"
Soon the cops came to help the survivors and got the fighters to the hospital. The Announcer couldn't stop complaining that the whole stadium was broken and that they wouldn't be able to reopen for years. The rest of the night flew by in a mad hurry as everyone was running around trying to deal with the carnage.
Roshi however was still standing there in awe as the sun rose with a blue sky after a very long night that nearly claimed them all. Frank came up to him coffee in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth. Frank had left his rookie deal with the paperwork preferring to stay close to the stadium.
"So, you won but it's not over is it?"
"What would make you say that?"
Frank smirked "Just a little odd you haven't moved from your spot and don't seem to be celebrating like the rest."
"The boy is…."
"Alive? I knew that based on your mood." (Roshi nodded 'yes'.) "Shame."
"I held back. Tien wanted me to."
"That seems dumb."
"Maybe the but he won't be able to do that monkey trick now."
"To the best of your knowledge. I tell you what this battle sort of changes everything."
"Why are you really here son?"
"A job offer."
"Not in a million years."
"Figured. Tell you what though. You need us call us and if we need you, we'll call you. I promise it will only be for world ending shit."
"I'll think about it."
"If you're right I would get to training your students because this ain't over. Not with a guy like that."
"I'll be ready."
End of the first saga.
