Chapter 20: The Fight Officially Begins! Articho's First Time Facing a Level 5! Part 1!
The two challengers continue to gaze at one another, as the wind slowly made the grass flow.
Articho gets into the iconic Goku fighting stance, expressing a stoic face at his opponent. Kakine, however, still kept his hands in his jacket's pockets as he smirks cockily.
The Time Patroller's eyes then widen and a gush of immense pressure blows the environment around him.
The spectators that are watching were being pushed back by this unexpected wind coming from him and a few of the girls had to use their forearms to cover their eyes, gritting their teeth.
"Who would've thought that a warrior like Articho could release this much energy." Arisa says in awe and disbelief. "I knew he would be strong, but I don't remember him being THIS strong."
"Damn!" Mikoto curses as the wind is making it hard for her to see. "Just what the hell's with this wind he's emitting?"
"I'm not sure." Hokaze admits, holding her skirt down to prevent it from showing her panties. "But I felt something similar when Gunha used his Attack Crash against me before."
The wind then dies down and everyone spectating the fight can finally see properly again.
"It seems you're not phased at all." Articho says. "Interesting. But I'm not gonna go down that easily. And again, you've already seen what happened to Wendy."
"Don't worry, I won't hold back either. First one who's knocked out or yields, loses!" Kakine grins. "So... aren't you gonna turn into a Super Saiyan?"
"The transformation drains more of my ki than in my base form, so I usually save it for later in our fight." He explains. "Besides, I want to see what you're capable of first."
"Is that so?" Dark Matter raises a brow, curious. "Fair enough. But fair warning. I suggest you either dodge my attacks or tank them. If you CAN tank them, that is."
However, the dirty blond boy blinks his eyes to see that his opponent is no longer there.
This confused everyone.
However, Arisa immediately catches on before smirking.
"Oh, I see what he's doing." She deduced. "Hey, Kakine!"
"Huh?" Kakine looks at Arisa.
The popstar then gestures her head upwards, signalling him to look up, still smirking.
The second ranked Level 5 then became confused by her smirk and looks up, only to find nothing above him. Suddenly, a huge sound was heard. Kakine's confused face changes into a face of pain, holding his mouth in. Articho is revealed to appear close to him as he has just punched him in the gut hard. He then kicks him away, sending his opponent flying and crashing into a boulder.
Everyone's eyes just popped out in disbelief, and Arisa has bursted out laughing.
"I can't believe he fell for that!" She laughs uncontrollably. "Idiot!"
"I guess it is kind of funny." Mikoto agreed, holding back her own laughter.
"Unbelievable. He left himself wide open." Kaibi groans in annoyance, before she started rubbing her belly. "Let's hope you become more clever and less stupid than your father when you grow up."
Junko, Yobou, Mitori, and Rakko were at a loss of words, however, as they're trying to process on what just happened.
"You have to pay attention to your surroundings." Articho lectures voicing towards the pink haired girl. "And I didn't need your help in lowering his guard like that, Arisa. This is a 1v1 match in case you've forgotten already."
"Alright." She sighs, disappointed.
"Arisa, we Saiyans don't always rely on numbers to win unless otherwise." He frowns. "Please understand."
"Fine." She slouches with a frown. "Always the party pooper."
Suddenly, an explosion erupts from where Kakine crashed into. Emerging from the smoke is the Level 5, who has some dirt all over his clothes. He was in a bit of a daze.
"Damn." Kakine told himself, with spiraled in his eyes.
To the audience, they can also see birds flapping above his head if they look closer.
"Next time, pay attention to your surroundings." Articho says, crossing his arms. "But anyway, I'm impressed with how durable you are. None of your clothes got all torn up."
"Wait. You mean that when you usually fight someone, your clothes are ripped off?"
"Well, no." He explains. "Usually only when I use one of my powerful attacks. I mean, take Hokaze for example. In the end of our fight, she was stripped bare. In other words, I saw her pussy and her tits."
Hearing those words made everyone to gaze towards the ringlet girl, causing her the blush in embarrassment from all of the staring.
"Tell me something. If you're a Super Saiyan, then are you actually the one in folklore?" Kakine asks.
"Hmm?" The Time Patroller perks his head up. "Like Japanese folklore? So what if I am? More importantly, why do you even care? An arrogant Esper like yourself has all the power he needs, am I right?"
"True, I might have everything I need now." He shrugs. "But arrogant, you say? You really need to learn to shut that damn mouth of yours up."
"Not happening." The hybrid Saiyan smirks cockily. "And since you seem to know about what the Super Saiyan legend is, at least in your universe, I don't have to explain it to you myself."
"Then, what are you waiting for?" Kakine retorts.
"I don't think I even need to go Super Saiyan to kick your ass." Articho counters. "Now show me what you can do, and let's get this over with."
"Gladly!" The Level 5 declares, charging forward. His wings then manifest out of his back and prepares an attack. "Take this!"
He then launches his feathers out like projectiles, aiming towards their target.
Articho's eyes look to the side and gives an amused smirk. He then uses Instant Transmission just as the feathers were a few inches close to his front vanishing and reappearing from behind, drop kicking his opponent in the head that sent Kakine sliding across the field with his face.
"So predictable." He shakes his head. "The opponents I've fought always try to take me out by simply shooting projectiles or blasts at me. I can literally move and react faster than the speed of light. At least get creative. Something that I've never went up before."
The dirty blonde stands up, before staring at him.
"Get creative, huh?" He then chuckles. "Ya know what? I think you're right. Projectiles aren't enough to take you down. So maybe I should use my Dark Matter in a different way."
"Then show me." Articho told him.
Kakine took a deep breath, before beginning to concentrate. Using his ability, he manifested a sword in his hand. Made out of Dark Matter.
Everyone, the audience, and the Saiyans were surprised to see this.
"You can create weapons?" Articho raises a brow. "Meh. I've seen better."
Back over with the group, Hokaze and Mikoto were trying to hold back a extremely crossed Arisa as she started blurting out cuss word after cuss word.
The second Level 5 started swinging the sword a bit, testing it out.
"This is the second time I've done this."
"In that case..." Articho begins to say, instantly turning into a Super Saiyan and emits his jagged golden aura. "I better turn it up a notch."
The Time Patroller outstretches his right arm, and his aura vanishes, forming a long yellow ki blade. Of course, it's more of a lance shaped sword than the one Black uses in his Rosé form.
Plus, it's slightly longer than his.
"Ya know what? I think a sword is a bit too boring. Maybe I should take something out of Black's playbook, and see if it works. If he can do it, then so can I! And I don't even theoretically need to go God or Blue to pull it off!"
He then aims the tip of his Spirit Sword at his left palm, smirking at Kakine.
"Get ready. Because you're in for a surprise." He declares before stabbing through his left hand, wincing in pain.
Elsewhere...
Ruiko was looking at the window, thinking about Articho and the supposed president he gave her early this morning.
She gave out a long sigh.
"What to do, what to do?" Her cheeks then turn pink as she begins to smile dreamily. "He is quite the stud, despite his rude demeanor. I wonder what I should do to repay him for the CD. Perhaps I should seduce him, like how Arisa did."
While she was thinking in her head, she started rubbing her thighs together.
The young girl had visions of different scenarios going through her brain. All of them involved getting her pussy pumped up with cum in all sorts of manners and positions. Some of them were in private places. Others, slightly public. And all of them were very lewd.
However, one vision was shown with her holding an infant that was wrapped around a blanket.
It was blurry, but she was able to catch a glimpse of a small patch of blonde hair.
Wait a second! Why is she even thinking about having a baby with the boy she's crushing on?! She can't be too reckless when it comes to sexual intercourse, despite being a virgin herself. Not to mention that she's thirteen and has barely finished grade school.
Ruiko started shaking her head and slapping her cheeks.
"Focus! You can't be thinking about stuff like that. I'm not freaking Aphrodite for crying out loud!"
In a alternate universe...
"ACCCCHHHHOOOO!" Ruiko Saten of Earth-0 sneezes loudly in her comfy chair.
"Are you alright, mama?" A toddler girl asks her mother, concerned.
"I'm fine, sweetheart." The teen told her daughter, ruffling her hair. "I believe someone is talking about me, somewhere."
"Okay." The little girl answers, before her stomach started growling. "Mama, I'm getting hungry."
"Tell you what, why don't you let your big sister Violet make some food for you?" The black haired mother suggested. "I'm sure she wants to spend some time with her current era sister. How does that sound?"
Hearing that made the toddler smile brightly.
Back in the current universe...
"Saten?" A voice says, tapping on her table.
"Huh?" Ruiko asked, looking towards Kazari. "What up?"
"We're about to head to the next class."
"Bell's rung already?" Ruiko took a look at the clock on the wall and was surprised to see the time had changed. "I guess it did."
"Let's get moving, okay?" The flower headed girl says as she walks out of the classroom.
"Suure thing." The long haired girl mutters to herself, following behind her best friend.
Back in the northern countryside...
Articho continues to stab his ki blade through his left hand and started to laugh, causing everyone around him to worry. The Time Patroller then bends the blade sideways before pulling his right hand away from his left.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" He yells, revealing his new ki weapon he has conjured.
The weapon is a curved blade that's sideways and is attached to a long hilt made of his own ki, is colored yellow with white as it's center.
"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Mikoto exclaims in disbelief, twitching her right eye. "He's got a freaking scythe?!"
"That's unexpected. But not unusual." Arisa answers, in shock and awe.
"Heh. That's right, Misaka." Articho smirks pridefully. "By channeling my Saiyan rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to kick Kakine's ass."
He then points it at his opponent, grinning as he hovers up in the air.
"You must realize the consequences in challenging your superior. And this scythe will carve a reminder in your angel wings. At the strength of my WRATH!"
Kakine hesitated, but holds his ground. He uses his wings to hover in mid air, facing the hybrid Saiyan.
Articho then swings his scythe around, launching a thin slice of energy at him.
The Level 5 was able to dodge to the side. Kakine was not impressed as he crosses his arms.
"Is that the best you can do?" He scoffs. "If you really think that'll give you the upper han-"
A sudden loud sound is heard and Dark Matter turns to his right to see something in shock.
"WHAT?!" He exclaims. His opponent is still grinning as both are seeing a large dark yellow rift.
"I'm afraid it's not over yet." Articho pointed out.
The spectators on the ground looked up, gasping in shock as well.
"What the heck is that?" Mitori exclaims.
"How should we know." Mikoto told her. "I barely know the guy. But what I can tell you is that he's no pushover."
The rift then exhausts out steam of clouds, forming a figure standing before the second ranked Level 5. It's simply a copy of Articho. Only difference is that the copy's Super Saiyan hairdo has a darker shade of blond similar to when Articho emits a gold jagged aura around his normal blond color due to the lighting from it.
More steam then exits the rift and five more Articho duplicates are created, surrounding Kakine.
"Check mate." Articho declares. "I've already won this fight, even though this is the first time I'm using this scythe against an opponent such as yourself. I suggest you give up now. You've no chance in winning."
"Like hell I'll ever quit a fight that's barely begun." Dark Matter refuses, starting to shake.
The Time Patroller notices this before dissipating his weapon and crosses his arms smirking.
"What's the matter, Kakine? Relax." He mockingly assures. "Don't be afraid. I thought you wanted to prove that you're the strongest."
The juitsu clones from all of the Esper's angles instantly charge towards him. Kakine pulls out his sword and wings to defend himself.
Each clone then throws a punch at him, but Dark Matter easily sidesteps and slices them with his makeshift weapon and wings, resulting in torn up stream of yellow clouds.
However, the clouds reform the juitsu clones with no damage whatsoever.
"Did they just-?" Rakko begins to question with a gasp.
"They sure did." Yobou gapes in disbelief.
"What the fu-?!" Kakine exclaims in shock.
But he was cut off mid sentence and was punched in the gut by one clone and kicked in the head by another, resulting in a combo attack from the other three clones as well.
"That's gotta hurt." Kaibi mutters.
The Tokiwadai girls and Mitori were in disbelief as they see more steam pouring out of the rift and creating twenty more of those Articho copies.
"Damn it." Kakine curses, gritting his teeth. "So more of these copies show up or regenerate each time I take them out. Such a pain in my ass."
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh." Articho chuckles, grinning arrogantly. "And just like that, you're back to feeling overwhelmed again. You can't get past my defenses, and you have no answer to my Super Saiyan might!"
This pissed Kakine off and decides to get a little serious.
"I'M NOT DONE YET!" He roars and fires his feathers in all angles at the twenty clones that circle around him.
Each and every one of them disappeared into clouds.
Unfortunately, all twenty of them regenerate and thirty more clones join in the fray.
Now a total of fifty, the clones are preventing the Esper from escaping.
"You're a coward, Articho!" Dark Matter accuses him.
"A coward is someone who runs from the field of battle." The Time Patroller corrects him, frowning. "Do I look like I'm running from you? I. Don't. Think. So. No matter what you do, it won't work on a guy who's ten steps ahead of you. You're beginning to bore me now. But since you refuse to back down, I'll give you one more chance to prove yourself. However, that doesn't mean I'll be going easy on you as I'm gonna have to make you see how big of a power gap there is between us. You've thirty seconds to come up with a decent strategy before you meet your humiliating, pathetic defeat by my hand."
"Only 30 seconds?"
"20 seconds!" Articho counts down, having already started.
The dirty blonde thought about a new move he wanted to use before. He then looks up at the yellow rift in the sky.
"That weird portal of energy is the source of these juitsu clones." Kakine says in his head. "I might be able to take it out with my Dark Matter. But I'm only gonna get one shot at this. I just need to play this right."
"15 seconds!" The Time Patroller warns. "Get ready to say your prayers. Looks like I'll be taking the win today."
"Don't count on it!" The Level 5 retorts.
The Articho copies then charge at him simultaneously.
Kakine's Dark Matter wings extended even more, growing bigger until they were massive.
"AHHHHH!" He yells at the top of his lungs.
The copies poofed away in the process, and the Level 5 sees a brief opening.
"Now's my chance!" Kakine exclaims before flying up towards the rift in the sky.
Articho was surprised from this, but he never lost his grin.
"That's it. Show me what else you can do." The hybrid Saiyan says in his head. "It won't matter that you destroy my rift or not."
Kaibi looks upward, seeing her significant other doing his best to fight against the Time Patroller.
"No." She frowns suspiciously, noticing the grin on Articho's face. "This feels too easy. It's like Articho wants him to destroy it."
"I know what he's planning." Arisa answers, walking right next to the young blonde. "But that would spoil all the fun, wouldn't it?"
Kaibi pays no mind to the popstar as she continues to watch.
"You're juitsu clones are a nuisance!" Kakine exclaims, preparing an attack with his ability. "Let's see how well you do against me without it!"
His wings begin to glow, aiming at the rift. Then he fired a large beam of light.
"Was that ki he just fired?" The Time Patroller questions curiously to himself before frowning. "No. I don't sense any from that beam."
The light impacts the rift, making it glow before hole in the sky vanishes along with the copies that have just poofed away immediately after.
Articho reappears behind Kakine and was about to slash him with his Spirit Sword, until both of the Esper's angel wings blocked the sneak attack.
"Attacking me from behind?" Kakine turns his head slightly, unimpressed again. "Really? Such a cliche move."
With his wings, the dirty blonde spins around like a tornado, knocking Articho off guard. Seeing his opening, he flip kicks him on the head, sending the hybrid back down, crash landing on the ground that resulted in a dust cloud.
"Finally!" The Level 5 exclaims, hovering back down.
He puts his right hand to the side, smirking as the dust clears up where his opponent is lying flat on his face.
"Hmph. I can't believe you actually attempted that." Kakine gloats. "Looks like your not so super after all."
"REALLY?" Articho's voice retorts, catching everyone off guard.
Kakine looks up in the sky to see Articho hovering above him. He then looks down to see the other Articho lying flat on his face. He looks up again, then down, and up, and so forth before the second Articho - that Kakine successfully kicked his ass - vanishes.
"He used an afterimage!" Yobou exclaims.
"Damnit, I forgot about that!" Dark Matter curses.
Articho grits his teeth and cups his hands forward, making his next move.
"KA ME!" He chants.
"A Kamehameha?" Arisa questions, before gasping. "No, Articho! What the hell are you thinking?! You know what happens if you fire a blast like that!"
"Huh?" Kakine questions in confusion before he starts to laugh.
"You're just posturing, aren't you? You're obviously not gonna launch an attack that would risk destroying the entire planet."
"He probably is bluffing." Mitori chuckles nervously. "Yeah, that's gotta be it! He's just buying some time to catch his breath or something, I'm sure."
"HAAA MEEE!" The Time Patroller continues, putting his cupped hands to his right side.
"Eh???" The purple haired girl twitches her right eye in disbelief.
"What?" The Level 5 questions, not believing what his opponent is about to do. "Seriously?"
Articho continues to grit his teeth.
"H-He's... gonna do it." Rakko stutters in horror.
Mitori started shivering and sweating in fear.
Junko and Mikoto faces paled.
Articho continues gritting.
"No!" Dark Matter says in horror. "You wouldn't dare!"
Articho suddenly vanished instantly, before appearing in front of him.
"Gah!" Kakine utters in surprise, before realizing that he's about to get blasted in point blank range.
"HAAAAAAA!" The Time Patroller war cries, thrusting his hands forward.
A large blue beam of energy emmits out, enveloping the hybrid Saiyan's opponent. The force of the blast started to push the spectators back like a windstorm.
Eventually, they ended up literally sent flying. The beam engulfed his opponent entirely.
When the light died down, all that's left was a cratered but huge straight path in front of the Super Saiyan, who pants a bit.
"I... win." The Time Patroller declared, giving a thumbs up towards his spectators.
However, he immediately sweatdrops when he sees the empty spots of where they use to stand.
"Oops."
Articho looks back at the destruction, and beyond the distance, he sees the path he made from his blast that sent Kakine flying into the forest below the plateau's cliffside where a number of trees were torn down as a result.
The Super Saiyan then flies in the direction where exactly his opponent is sent flying within the forest. When he got there, she saw that the dirty blonde's shirt was completely incinerated while his pants were torn up.
"So he took that blast head-on without feeling exhausted. Dazed, but not exhausted." Articho guesses, starting to feel like he needs to get a little more serious. "Looks like good ol' Super Saiyan isn't enough. Guess I'll have to take things to the next level."
Back over on the plateau, the group of teens were wobbling dizzily on their feet as they had just first experienced being blown away by Articho's Instant Transmission Super Kamehameha, unless you don't count Arisa.
For some mysterious reason, the popstar lost both her skirt and panties. Thanks to the sheer force from the throwback. Her face was completely red when she looked down and immediately covers her vagina and butt cheeks with her pretty fingers.
"And there goes my dignity." She pointed out, as the pink haired Saiyan tries to find her missing clothes.
Unfortunately, her skirt and panties is nothing but rags, pieces littered all over the dirt her champion's blast created.
"Damnit." She curses under her breath. "I'll just have to wear my casual clothes then. (realizes) Oh right, I don't know how to perform the clothes beam technique like Articho can."
The purple haired teen didn't fair better, as she was completely in the nude while hiding behind a tree. As for the Rampage Dress and the Railgun, they seem to be in one piece thanks to the former putting up a barrier with her electricity.
"Whoa." Mikoto says in awe at her senior's barrier giving off electric sparks. "I didn't know you can do that."
"I'll be happy to teach you about this." Junko smiles at her junior. "I used my Rampage Dress technique to enhance my normal powers to pull this off."
Kaibi, was in a daze with swirls in her eyes. Her dress was laying on a bush, but still had her bra, panties, and sandals on. Rakko and Yobou, however, only lost their upper clothing. It's a good thing the amber eye girl is wearing a black bodysuit underneath her top (that got ripped off) and skirt (which is still intact). The young assassin had a good look at her partner's bare cheat and turned away for a moment.
"Oh my God, he's so muscular!" She mentally screams as her face is red. "I always thought he's scrawny looking."
"Well that was unexpected." The SCHOOL hacker deadpans, not fazed by the aftermath of the attack. "I told Kakine that he will be screwed. And look where it got him."
"Hey guys." Junko says as she disables her barrier, getting everyone's attention. "I don't see Articho anywhere. Kakine, too."
"Know them, I say they're pretty close." Rakko deduced, as she tries to wake up the Measure Heart girl.
"They're down in that forest." Arisa explains, surprising her friends. "And it looks like Articho was the victor."
"Wait, how do you know they're down there?" Mikoto questions curiously.
"By sensing Articho's high power level." The popstar casually shrugs. "Unfortunately, Kakine's is far too weak for me to sense, so I focused on my champion's instead."
"Huh?" The Railgun replies as her eyes widen. "Did Articho teach you how to sense ki?"
"Well, it's kinda hard to explain." She nervously chuckles, scratching the back of her head. "But anyway, looks like this fight is effectively over."
"I wouldn't count Teitoku out of the ring just yet." The blond girl counters as she has already woken up and put her dress back on. "His durability is able to tank most attacks. And unlike his first fight against Accelerator a year back, it took Sogiita to use up all of his power with his ability to finally knock him out."
"Seriously?!" Everyone except for Rakko, Yobou, and Junko exclaimed at the blond girl in disbelief.
"It's true." The ringlet girl nods seriously. "I was there when it happened. Kakine lacks raw power, but his durability and stamina are no pushover."
"Wow." Arisa was impressed.
"He must be one tough bastard." Mikoto mutters aloud.
"We should go down there and see what's gonna happen next." The pink haired girl suggests, but was interrupted.
"Are you insane, pinky?!" Mitori exclaims, beginning to rant angrily. "I'm butt naked thanks to that blond, monkey boyfriend of yours! There's no way in hell I'm watching the fight that up close again!"
"But aren't you a Saiyan, too?" Mikoto questions with a raised eyebrow before roasting the purple haired Saiyan girl's contradicting rant. "You're technically being racist to both Articho and yourself."
The purple haired girl blushes in realization.
"She's what?" Rakko and Yobou questions in confusion.
"We'll explain later." Arisa assures them.
"So if we can't go down there without Mitori, then how are we gonna continue watching their battle?" Junko wonders.
"Hmm." The popstar thinks for a moment before noticing the capsule Articho let her hold onto for a bit. "I wonder if he still has that thing in one of these capsules."
She opens the small kit and searches through them.
"What's that?" Rakko asks curiously.
"Yeah." Mitori agrees with her, covering her ladybits with her hands. At least she still had her heels on her feet, to make her look sexy.
"Come on, come on. I know he has it somewhere" Arisa continues to look inside. "Ah! Here it is."
She pulls out a capsule with a green upper half and a white bottom half before pressing the top button and tosses it to the grass, exploding into a puff of cloud. It then reveals a small, purple circular device with a green dome in the center. Arisa picks it up and activates a large holographic image of Super Saiyan Articho looking down at a dazed Kakine while hovering midair in the middle of the forest where the surrounding trees were torn down from the Time Patroller's blast.
"There we go." She smirks, looking at the real-time footage. "Now we can watch the fight without Mitori worrying about those two boys seeing her naked. All in real-time."
She then tosses two more capsules, revealing a few folding chairs and a mini fridge housing some iced can refreshments. Pulling a can of juice out, she whistles casually to grab a folding chair, sets it up, and sits down before opening her canned drink and takes a sip as she focuses her attention at the holo screen with an innocent smile.
Back with the two fighters...
"Damn. I thought I was gonna die back there." Kakine groans, holding his head.
"Consider yourself lucky, then." Articho explains. "That was me at full power as a Super Saiyan. Anyone with a far weaker power level ended up dead, but you took my Kamehameha head on, despite your low level. However, that wasn't really my true power you've just experienced."
"Well... I guess I underestimated you." Kakine chuckles. "I fought against the Seventh Rank a few months ago, and it took him to use all of his stamina to win the fight."
"Did he now?" The Time Patroller raises a brow, a bit more impressed with how durable his opponent is. "So I take Sogiita was the only Esper you lost to?"
"Not quite." Dark Matter begins to explain, standing up. "I hate to admit this to you, but..."
"You must be too embarrassed to tell me." He deduced, noticing the sweatdrop. "It can't be that bad."
"I lost to Accelerator. The number one esper in the city." His opponent admits, looking away with a frown. "That smug son of a bitch shrugged me off when I first challenged him to a match. Told me to get lost before he used his ability to send me flying into an office building. I was literally bedridden for a whole two weeks! How dare he humiliate me like that!"
"Maybe he's not interested in fighting anyone." Articho thinks. "A lot of strong opponents just wanted to be left alone in peace. He reminds me of a Saiyan I know of back home. Though it depends on which version of him I'm talking about. Anyway, he spent his whole childhood and most of his life on a repugnant world. He's a nice guy, but sometimes loses control of his emotions and power."
"He sounds like an interesting person."
"Believe me, he does." He smirks. "He was the strongest Saiyan in his era."
"Wow." Mikoto says in awe, watching the real-time footage. "That's awesome."
"Guess those two have something in common." Mitori agreed with her, crossing her thighs.
Kaibi gave a small whistle when she sees her boyfriend's bare chest.
"Hubba hubba." She says, getting turned on and licking her lips. "He's so hot without his shirt on."
"Settle down, girl." Arisa told the eager young lady. "You can get a chance to make love with him again later. But aren't you technically pregnant? It's dangerous to have sex while your child is growing inside of you."
"Who said I'm going to have him in my pussy?" She told her. "Besides, there are other ways to make love with someone."
"Can we please NOT talk about sex right now?" The Railgun interrupts, with a red blush on her cheeks.
"Misaka has a point, Kaibi." The popstar deadpans. "We can put this on hold, for now."
"Sure, sure." The blonde nods, looking back at the monitor.
"Mind if I ask you something, Articho?" Kakine asks the hybrid Saiyan.
"Go ahead." Articho gestures.
"You said that being in your Super Saiyan form at full power is really your true power." He begins. "What do you mean by that?"
"You recall telling me about the Super Saiyan legend you're aware of? Well, I hate to spoil it for you, but... it's nothing but horseshit."
"What?"
"Goku and a rival of his named Vegeta realize that their power as Super Saiyans weren't enough to defeat their greatest threat at the time. It was at that moment they decided to go beyond the level of it. And Goku's eldest son, Gohan - who was my great-grandfather - ascended. He was the first and youngest Saiyan to attain new powers, and killed this foe in a tournament."
"And how old was your great-granddad at the time?"
"No older than a boy at ten." Articho bluntly says.
"Wait, what?!" Everyone except Arisa exclaimed in disbelief once more as they heard the Time Patroller said that.
"That's not all." The Time Patroller continues, smirking. "After Gohan's younger brother was born, there's a bit of a bargain sale going on for Super Saiyans, and still is today. At least in my universe."
"Unbelievable." Railgun was speechless from hearing that. "So he's saying that anyone in the Saiyan race can become a Super Saiyan?"
"Pretty much." Arisa nods. "It's kinda funny."
"So wait, that might happen to me?" Mitori questions. "That's..."
"Quite the surprise." Kaibi finishes the naked girl's sentence.
"Alright, enough talk. Time for ROUND TWO!!!!" Articho ends the conversation, instantly powering up to Super Saiyan 2.
Kakine gasps in sheer shock, taking a look at Articho's new appearance.
"He can use electricity?" The two Tokiwadai students questions in surprise.
"Nope." Arisa shakes her head. "That's more of an aftereffect."
"This is a level beyond Super Saiyan." Articho smirks, now more cocky than before. "This is Super Saiyan 2! And I'm not done yet!"
Articho gets in a stance and powers up further. He roars loudly as the whole Earth shakes and dark clouds begin to form. Lightning strikes down beside the Time Patroller.
His Super Saiyan 2 hair then grows out into a long, spiky mane as his gold jagged aura grows bigger and more sparks surround him. Then, he reverts back to Super Saiyan 2, and starts cracking his knuckles and neck.
"Whoa. What was that form just now?" Kakine asks. "The ridiculous, spiky blond mane you had."
"That... was Super Saiyan 3." The Time Patroller answers. "Stronger than 2, but it drains too much ki for me to maintain it in longer fights, so the form's kinda useless. A Saiyan tail would balance out the flaw, but it's more of a crutch since getting it pulled on is a huge pain in the ass. It can be mastered without a tail, but it would take years to perfect it, and I don't exactly have the time since I'll lose my youth at eighty. Thankfully, I've found a different way to master its power without wasting years trying to master the transformation. You're not facing a regular Super Saiyan 2 , Kakine. This is Super Saiyan 2 with the power of a Super Saiyan 3!"
"Super Saiyan 2?!" The girls exclaimed, with the exception of the reincarnated Kai.
"And there's a three?!" Mikoto exclaims. "Just what else is he hiding?!"
"Other than that, I find it really silly that Super Saiyan 3 doesn't have any eyebrow hair." Arisa giggles. "All that's left was the scowl when he was briefly in that form."
"Oh." The purple haired girl nod, before realizing something. "Huh?!"
"Calm down." The pink haired girl eye rolls. "It only applies to the male Saiyans. No need to worry about your beauty being ruined. Though I can't say the same thing about having a scowling face all the time if you want to gain that transformation."
"I can't think straight, right now." Rakko honestly says. "My head is spinning right now."
"You aren't the only one, Yumiya." Yobou agrees with her. "I can't believe he was holding back these stronger Super Saiyan forms."
"This is a lot to take in." Mitori exclaimed.
"Cocky bastard." Kakine grits his teeth, starting to get annoyed with his trash talking. "I'll make you eat those words."
"Hmph." The Time Patroller smirks. "Bring it."
Dark Matter reforms his wings and charges toward his opponent, beginning round 2 of their fight.
