Chapter 6

All Together Now! The Sinduly Families Synchronized Assault!

Salena held her husband while he coughed and wheezed. She wanted to comfort him but now wasn't the time. She looked at Black; his red eyes locked on and her family. None of the others matted to him. They were nothing but flies to a dinosaur.

Black smiled and spoke to Salena "I wonder what he sees in you. There must be something interesting about you for him to still be with you after so long."

She handed off her husband to the children. They each grabbed an arm to hold him up.

Salena straightened her posture and questioned, "Would it hurt for you to just shut the hell up or do you just get off on being creepy?"

Black's smile didn't waver saying "What makes you good enough? The only reason he hasn't left you behind must be your strength, right? Or perhaps your looks?"

Salena was very unamused "I suggest you watch what you say next."

Black laughed "Hahaha, my bad I didn't mean to be rude." He put his hands up defensively "It's just that whatever it is that makes him keep you around," Black turned his gaze to the future Elizabeth with an evil smirk on his face "I didn't see it." he finished with a dark tone.

His words sent a chill up everyone's spine. Salena and Jarvis instantly understood the implication; It luckily went over the children's heads. She didn't know how to respond to the news of her alternate self's unfortunate demise but she had no time to dwell on it. She felt her future daughter's Ki spike as a gust of powerful wind whipped by.

The future Elizabeth looked at Black with absolute rage. Tears freely streamed down her cheeks as her energy flared around her body. Jarvis was finally able to recover and get on his proverbial feet. He saw Elizabeth ready to lunge and his cry for her to stop went unheard.

She powered up; transforming straight to Super Saiyan two. Her energy rose higher than it did when she was fighting Jarvis almost matching his third form in power. Elizabeth dove for Black with her fist outstretched but her wrist was caught by him with ease. He tossed her to the side and she spun in the air but recovered.

Jarvis' voice could be heard as he futilely attempted to verbally restrain his future daughter "Elizabeth wait! Now is not the time for this!"

Elizabeth could've cared less about what he had to say "He took everything from me!"

Salena countered with "I know he did honey, I understand how much pain you're in but If you do this you'll only get yourself killed!"

Elizabeth remained poised as Salena continued "I've been in your shoes!" her mind flashed to her years of servitude under the evil Emperor but she kept her voice strong "I know that your hurting baby but there just isn't anything you can do right now."

Elizabeths' tears never ceased but her anger refused to fade. Before she had time to lunge again a Jarvis delivered a chop to the back of her neck. He was able to quickly sneak behind her while she wasn' focused.

She slowly fell and dropped her form. Jarvis caught her by the neck of her armor. He looked to the remaining group of soldiers still with them.

He shouted, "Take her and get far from here!"

The woman with a red cross came over and grabbed her as a man barked orders and they all took off into the distance.

With Elizabeth taking care, Jarvis nodded his head for his children to come. They floated over to him and he said "You two are strong but not strong enough to handle him directly. I want the two of you to stay back and provide support when you can. Do not get in the middle of this fight but stay in it for as long as you can."

Jacob and Elizabeths' jaws dropped; their father was actually letting them fight. Not just fight but fight with him and mom. They had never been in a real fight but both were excited.

Jacob wasn't as excited and asked "Dad?"

Jarvis responded "Yeah?"

"Can we actually win… he looks pretty strong."

Jarvis ruffled his son's hair and spoke softly "Of course we can; now be brave and stay calm son. You and your sister need to take care of each other so you gotta stay focused."

Jacob was a bit more confident listening to his fathers' words. He and his sister looked to one another and nodded. They would be fine so long as they stuck together.

Jarvis felt his wife's hand on his shoulder and looked back to her as she asked: "You usually like fighting alone, why bring us in so soon?"

He smiled and responded "I can't risk that. This guy isn't like anything we've faced before." Jarvis turned to Black "Just look, he is completely relaxed. Besides we can't feel his energy so we are gonna have to rely on our other senses. I figure four pairs of eyes are better than one."

She nudged her husband "What about five."

Jarvis glanced at her then to the direction of the grown Elizabeth "She isn't stable enough, she'd only get in our way."

Salena smiled "For once we agree on something."

Jarvis chuckled and locked eyes with their opponent. Black crossed his arms and asked: "Are you finally done with your little pow-wow?"

Jarvis smirked "I hope you're ready for all of us because no one here plans on letting you off easy.

"Fine by me," Black smiled "I just hope you've got more than you've shown."

Jarvis smirked, "Oh, you have no idea."

Jarvis and Salena traded glances and began to power up at the same time. Their fiery energy shot to the sky as they both roared. The planet shook and trembled as they ascended to Super Saiyan. When they reached Super Saiyan two stray rocks and boulders rose from the ground and clouds swirled in the air above, blotting out the sun. The twisting clouds turned into tornados after they reached Super Saiyan three and lightning struck the ground as-well-as them.

Elizabeth and Jacob had to go super Saiyan just to keep from being blown back by the amount of power their parents were producing. Black floated unaffected but intrigued. Whatever was coming had to be interesting.

The lightning struck the tornados and began to twist around them in a dance of wind a plasma. The ground buckled and mountains collapsed. Red hair started to grow on Jarvis' arms as several tornadoes danced around him and his wife. Salina's teeth sharpened as her tails fur turned the same shade of red. All the tornadoes collided into one with Salena and Jarvis in the center.

Lightning flew from the spinning mass of power, burning the ground with plasma as hot as the sun. Jarvis had closed his eyes from strain but they shot open wide for the world to see that they had turned a beastly yellow. Salena's hair shortened down from the massive gold locks of Super Saiyan three but remained longer than her natural hair. Jarvis's hair did the same and turned back to its natural white color as Salena's turned to black. His abs and chest became even more defined as his upper body's clothing was disintegrated. They remained the only part of his body that wasn't covered with dark red fur. Most physical changes on Salena's part were hidden by her armor. However, her energy turned to a light red-orangish color but retained the electrical ora of Super Saiyan three.

The ground cracked and parted as a large ravine, so deep the bottom couldn't be seen, formed below them. Both gave a final shout and a beam of yellow light consumed everyone's vision for a brief moment and then turned into a pillar surrounding the two Saiyans. The light then quickly expanded and pushed all of the ensuing chaos away; dispersing all of the destructive forces.

Jarvis and Salena had floated to the ground; standing tall in their new forms. Black followed them down. He landed on the other side of the massive split in the ground directly across from them.

He was impressed with the power this form possessed. If he had to guess it was roughly a ten-fold increase.

Black questioned, "So this is your true power?"

Salena readied herself into a fighting stance saying in a much deeper voice "Your not that lucky."

Black uncrossed his arms and, with a curious expression, asked: "Oh? So there's more?"

Jarvis interjected, "Enough talk, shut up and fight!"

With that, he fired a blast at Black which he dodged by jumping or at least thought he would dodge till something hit him back down and caused him to be struck by the blast. He skidded back from the force, unhurt but stunned as Salena lunged through the smoke at him having been the one to knock him down.

They matched each other blow for blow. Black was caught off guard by the power of this form and found himself pushed to the defensive. He looked to the side to see a foot coming toward him and barely managed to block it with his forearm. This, fortunately, left him open with only one arm to defend against Salena and he took a right hook across the face.

He couldn't recover before the foot that he saw belonged to Jarvis whipped around and kicked his legs out. Salena appeared above him and plowed her feet into his chest; sending him tunneling through the ground.

Using her momentum from the kick she flew into the air. Black had recovered and flew out for the ground at a faster speed then she could keep up with. However, he was suddenly stopped by her husband kicking him to the side.

Black was knocked away but disappeared before Jarvis could make chase. They couldn't find him without sensing his energy. Jarvis searched carefully with his eyes across the barren wasteland of a battlefield they had created. He couldn't see anything but he heard him. Jarvis' eyes widened in realization and he quickly turned to yell for his wife. However, he could only watch as his wife shot from the sky to the scorched earth below. Black was floating just behind where Salina was with cupped hands.

Jarvis went to catch Salena but had to defend himself when Black appeared in front of him with blinding speed. They clashed as Salina was able to catch herself and bounce from the ground to the battle.

Jarvis could see his wife had taken damage. She was bleeding from her head. The blood trickled down the side of her head but he couldn't focus on that. They had to push through and keep the pressure on.

Both Jarvis and Salena attacked Black with fierce combination strikes. Black was definitely being thrown off. Their offense worked in perfect tandem with their defense. There wasn't a way for him to break their momentum like this. He finally decided that it was time to stop playing around using only fifteen percent of his power.

Black steadily began to raise his Ki and the two opposing Saiyans began losing their momentum. Their attacks had less and less of an effect. They started to miss or be counter and eventually neither of them could land a hit.

Both went to strike at the same time but connected with only air as Black disappeared. Reappearing behind them; he quickly elbowed both of them in the back of their heads. They tumbled forward but recovered quickly spinning, flipping, and landing on the ground; skidding to a stop.

Jarvis was dumbfounded along with frustrated "Damnit! If we can't sense his energy how are we supposed to know if we are even making a dent!"

They were both breathing heavily. Neither of them would get anywhere at the rate they were going. Salena glanced at her husband and decided that the only way to answer her husband's question was to give it everything she had.

Salena formed two balls of Ki in each hand "You and the kids distract him."

Jarvis voiced his wonder "What are you gonna do?"

She smirked, "I'm gonna see just how strong he is."

Her power stored then swirled around her body. The energy from the balls of Ki in her hand started to electrify. She spread her feet apart and extended her arms out to each side. She focused hard; drawing in every ounce of strength she had into her attack.

Black didn't know what she was doing but he wasn't going to wait anymore. He rushed her with the intent to stop her. However, Jarvis stepped in-between him and his wife. He caught Black's fist as his Ki own flared up around his body. Jarvis was at one-hundred percent, Black could tell because of how hard he was struggling, this form could give no more than it already was.

Black voiced his opinion "Not bad, keeping up with me at almost thirty percent. You're far more capable then I gave you credit for! If you plan to win, though, you're going to need a lot more than this!"

Black moved Jarvis' fist out of the way and punched him in the gut. He hunched in pain but grabbed Blacks' hair and pulled with all his strength. Black yelped in pain at the pulling of his hair but found the knee that connected with his face as Jarvis rammed his head into it far more painful.

Black bent back from the force of the blow. Using the second of reprieve Jarvis gathered every bit of Ki into his hand and pushed it forward into Black's stomach.

Jarvis shouted, "Here's what I think of your thirty percent!"

The ball erupted into an inferno of power. The blast was the size of a mountain and left a half-mile wide trail of destruction as it exploded with furious force and power hundreds of meters away.

The explosion lit up the sky and the force shattered a portion of the planet. Chunks of debris flew into the atmosphere. Though the display made beautiful fireworks it wasn't much more than a hard shove for Black. Annoying and off-putting but no meaningful damage done.

Jarvis looked back to his wife and could see her charging the massive orbs in her hands. If he remembered correctly that attack was supposed to be a last-ditch effort. It would take a few minutes to charge her energy.

Jarvis shouted "I hope you know what you're doing! That attack could destroy half the galaxy if you lose control!"

Salena looked at her husband and spoke through gritted teeth "Yeah I know but I'm not taking any chances! If we wanna gauge his power then I've gotta give it all I've got!"

Jarvis could see a red dot rise from the distant flames. It grew closer by the second.

"You won't be able to fight!"

Salena smiled "Then you'll get that one on one I know you want!"

Jarvis gave a small laugh but readied himself once again as the red dot formed into a person. He whistled loudly and took off to the sky hoping his signal would be heard. He hadn't trained Jacob for this so he hoped that Elizabeth got him up to speed.

There was a flash of red as Black appeared in front of him. The action started instantly with Black throwing the first punch. Jarvis tried to block it but was unable to. Black had increased his speed by a tremendous amount along with his strength. The form of Blacks fist could be seen through Jarvis' body. His face contorted with immense pain as blood flew from his mouth.

Black leaned next to his ear and spoke in a voice laced with malice "You'll have to do better than that."

Black then sent Jarvis to the ground with an elbow to his head. Before he could charge down after him, however, a blast connected with his back. He turned only to see a flash of yellow disappear from view.

Black ground his teeth "Damn, I forgot about them."

Another blast hit him in the back. He grunted in frustration; this was getting annoying. Another blast flew at him but this time he blocked it. The blast deflected off his hand as he smacked it away and it blew a mountain to pieces in the distance.

Then he heard the sound of charging energy next to him. He turned to see Jacob with a charged blue orb of Ki cupped in his hands. Black went to attack him but he was practically dropped kicked by Elizabeth directly on top of his head and was unable to defend against Jacob.

He threw his hands forward shouting "HA!"

Salena struggled with the energy in her hands. She had to remain focused in order to keep the energy under control. Though, she couldn't help but watch her children fight. They were doing well and her pride in them grew.

She did her best to provide them with a normal life. Sending them to school, keeping a roof over their heads, encouraging them to make friends. Their father made the money farming thousands of acres of land with his bare hands. He did more in an hour than any farming company could to in a decade.

Their life was good, their family bond strong, and yet they couldn't seem to maintain the peace in their lives. Every time they got stronger their enemies got stronger as well. Peace would come and go like bargain sales at the mall. It was always just one battle after the next. That's why it took so long for them to have children.

She feared that they would lead the same life as her and their father. She hoped they wouldn't ever have to fight. Yet there they were, battling like warriors; like Saiyans. There was no point in keeping them from what was inevitable. Therefore she just watched on in pride. Her children fighting alongside them and doing better than she could have imagined.

Black would go to attack and one would distract him while the other countered. All they had to do was distract him for a few more moments. Just then Black finally caught Jacob by his neck before he could vanish and threw the struggling boy into his sister.

The went tumbling down to the ground and Black charged a blast in his hand. The children hit the ground and rolled to their feet but not in time as Black fired the crimson blast. It grew in size and power, there was no way the kids could run, deflect, or fight against it.

Salena's heart stopped; she couldn't let her children die. She was more than ready to fire her attack early. It would wiper her but she had no choice if she wanted to save her babies. She was just about to clasp her hands together when a beam shot from the ground and enveloped the blast in white light.

The wind kicked up and the ground was pushed up and thrown out away from the beam. The planet shook and trembled feeling like it could crack in half at any moment. The outline of a figure rose up from the ground amidst the perpetual white flames. Its eyes flashed red and it let out a literal roar. The beam dissipated and the large red ball of Ki fired by Black could no longer be seen.

All was quiet; almost calm. The figure was revealed to be Jarvis. He had changed again. Some of the features from his previous form were retained by this one. However, this form had white fur covering his body instead of red. His eyes had become a deep red with the whites of his eyes having turned black. This made his equally colored pupils pierce the soul of those who dared to lock with his gaze. His hair was also a bright white and had grown back to the length it would be in Super Saiyan three. The aura that surrounded him was a dark grey and lit up randomly with white-hot plasma.

His head snapped to Salena "Do it now!" He shouted in a rumbling voice.

Salena's attack was ready. As soon as her husband gave the order she clasped her hands together. The two large balls of energy became one as they smashed into each other. Salena's muscles bulged. In a flash of light, she let out a roar of her own. The same pillar of white light came from her.

Black wondered just how many transformations they had. He refused to simply stand around like an idiot, though and went to charge his own attack but for the hundredth time was cut off. Jarvis crossed Black's face with his elbow.

He was surprised at how painful it was. Their gap in power had most certainly closed. Black had been too distracted to see that Salena had taken the same form and was currently about to hit him with everything she had. Jarvis disappeared, leaving Black confused until the massive surge in power coming from Salena told him everything he needed to know. He was too late to stop it.

She narrowed her eyes; focusing on her target and shouted "Trident Flash!"

With that, a spear-shaped blast of golden energy shot from her hands. It was massive and tore through the sky, filling Black's vision with nothing but potential destruction headed straight for him.

He laughed at the name saying "Oh that's cute she named it-OH SHIT!"

It was only when the blast hit that he realized just how much he underestimated its power.

The attack connected, everything exploded into a blinding, glorious golden light. Everyone's ears were filled with the sound of destruction. The beam could be seen firing off into the distant reaches of space.

Everything went quiet once the blast subsided. Salena breathed heavily as her body shook and trembled with no strength to hold it up. She remained standing in the same pose but having lost any ability to retain the Super Saiyan five form. She truly had put everything into that. Her senses came back and she dropped to her knees.

Jarvis still floated in the sky. He had watched the amazing display he's only seen once before. He would have gone to his wife's aid but he had already paid the price for dropping his guard once already. He could feel it; something wasn't right.

Why had the pressure he'd felt before increased by a massive amount?

That's when they heard him "You know if you want my personal opinion," Everyone looked to the sky in shock as he spoke in a dark and deadly tone loud enough for all to hear. His voice echoed not just through the air but through everyone's very core.

"Trident Flash is a pretty sad choice of last words," He floated with a scorched hand outstretched having protected him from the attack.

"But to be fair… " Something was different now, his aura, his hair…

Black clenched his blackened and bloodied hand into a fist in front of him "Its far from the worst decision you've made today!"

...Why was it blue?
