Chapter 41


The Einlanzer was a Holy Sword, forged by ancient Dragonians, but it had vanished years ago. As if of a design magical, it was a sword whose hilt fitted itself into the hands of the bearer should he be deemed worthy of wielding it, or whose hilt's edges dug into the bearer's flesh should he be deemed otherwise. And if Same was using it, they were in deep trouble.


Vegeta growled and ran at Same, who smirked and held up her blade. Vegeta hurled his axe at the Dragon's side, but she blocked easily, and lashed out at his head. Vegeta ducked and jumped aside to avoid her downward slash. The blades connected with a loud clash, but Same turned the blade in a way that it almost hit Vegeta's thigh, if he hadn't blocked it with his axe. Vegeta managed to whirl both blades around so that that of Same was stuck in the 'ground'.

Vegeta then easily jumped up and kicked Same to her cheek, sending her away. She growled furiously, and flipped over, before landing back on her feet. Same instantly had to move back to avoid Bulma's dagger slashing at her face. Same inwardly cursed, and blocked Bulma's blade with relative ease, before kicking the girl aside. The girl flipped over, landed on her feet, and shot back at the Dragon, who easily blocked the small blade.

Same then whirled around for 25 percent, and blocked a blow from Goku's sword. Same grabbed Bulma's wrist and hurled her aside, and then focussed her attention on the attacking Dragoon. Goku growled and lashed downward at the Dragon, but she easily blocked, and before Goku could react, he was thrown aside, but he didn't know by what. When he checked his tunic, he noticed it was lightly scorched.

Ancha reached inside her pouch, and grabbed an odd pack of cards from it. The cards were black, and instead of carrying the usual symbols on it, they stunned nothing but false truths and lies. Ancha hurriedly placed them in her gloves, and within seconds, she was hurling the cards at Same, who couldn't dodge them all, and quite a few slashed her skin apart. The Dragon hissed and gritted her teeth, but she didn't scream.

She did threaten to scream when an arrow of Green Elemental Energy hit her shoulder, but she managed to stop herself. She growled in annoyance, and focussed on the person responsible. Asoret glared right back at his aunt, not showing any sign of backing down.

"Insolent lil' BRAT!!!" she screamed, and shot at the young boy, whom never saw it coming, and received the Dragon's clenched fist right to his face, sending him back.

Kari cried out in anger, and raced at the Dragon, and fast! Same saw the girl coming, and blocked the katana with the Einlanzer, causing the metal to spark at the touch. The Dragon lunged out at the girl's waist, but Kari easily blocked. Same growled, but she suddenly swirled around, making Kari get hit with the Dragon's tail. It sent Kari away and fast.

Same's ear perked, and she hurriedly ducked, avoiding both blades that Hope had tried to hit her with. Still bent down, Same whirled around, and kicked Hope's feet away from under her. When Same was up, Hope planted her hands on the ground and managed to kick the Dragon in her guts, making her stagger back a little. Hope grabbed her blades and lashed out sideways with one of them, but the Dragon jumped aside to avoid it. The second blade made a downward slash, which hit the Dragon's leg. Same grabbed the heavily bleeding wound as a strange black energy seeped into it.

The Dragon growled angrily and looked up at Hope with blazing red eyes.

"You BITCH!!!" she screamed, and with a sudden slash, Hope found herself thrown backwards, a badly bleeding wound across her stomach.

Same was about to shoot after her, when she received a metal fist right to her jaw. She hit the ground with a loud thud, before she stood back up, shaking her head lightly. Meanwhile Goku had run over to heal the shaman. Grobyc watched the Dragon, and under the cloth-mask, he seemed to smirk. Suddenly, his left hand withdrew in his arm, and three thin, metal plates came out to form something like a mixer, only this was deadlier. Purple energy gathered, and was easily shot at the Dragon in a beam of light.

Same cried out in surprise as it hit, and she was slammed down into the ground with a strong force that knocked the breath out of her. Before they could get her again though, she shot up, and flew up in the air, out of harm's way.

"Get down here!!" Bulma screamed in anger.

Same was slightly panting, and wouldn't answer.

Elvor scoffed, and mumbled: "I'll get her down."

White sparks instantly shot up to surround him.

His rapier changed into a swallow, he lifted off of the floor, twirled around in the air once, and ended up holding the swallow with one hand, aimed at the Dragon hanging in the air. Only this time, instead of a ghostly figure of himself, a strange creature appeared and served for the same purpose, following the boy's moves easily as the world turned black. The creature was human-shaped, but it was different somehow. It held something that looked like a glowing arrow, before Elvor screamed the name of the attack and was hurled at the Dragon.

"FLYING ARROW!!!!"

The Dragon cried out as Elvor slashed her right across her chest, and she fell down, crashing into the ground with a loud slam. Laze watched the Dragon as she struggled to get up, and focussed on the Dragon. She felt it, very clearly. It made the girl wonder.

Same finally got back to her feet, but she looked a little weak from the battle. She probably was, but she wouldn't admit it. The Einlanzer was still in her hand, but her armor was wrecked. The chestplate had been neatly slashed in half, showing part of her flesh, but not enough. Blood was running down several wounds on her body, as well as the one over her chest. It hurt to move, but she couldn't care.

Finally, Laze's eyes furrowed, and she instantly grabbed a scythe from practically out of nowhere. Same's blazing red eyes focussed on the child. Laze glared daggers at the Dragon then smirked, and tauntingly beckoned the Dragon over. The Dragon glared right back, but didn't move beside that. Laze's smirk grew, and she gripped the scythe tightly in both hands, standing in a fighting position.

"Laze, no!" Bulma whispered.

"Shuddap," Laze hissed softly.

Sky watched it all from the sidelines, with his arms crossed over his chest. He smirked too, unfolded his arms, and raised his right hand. The Dragon and young girl seemed to instinctively get ready. The second Sky lowered his arm with a whooshing movement, the two combatants' eyes widened a little, before they shot at each other. The blades hit in the center, and the duo glared at each other, before jumping aside and shooting at each other again.

"Does-Laze-even-stand-a-chance?" Grobyc asked.

"Maybe, you can never tell with her," Elvor mumbled silently.

Laze backflipped away from the Dragon, then blocked Same's blade with her scythe, before starting to lash out at the Dragon. Several of them hit the destined target, while others were blocked or avoided. Same didn't get any blows in though. At least, not as much. Laze bit her tongue until she tasted blood when she felt the Einlanzer cut through the flesh on her left arm. It burned as she tried to move it, but she didn't even bother.

Same was about to lash out again, but Laze ducked under her, and pushed her left hand against the Dragon's stomach. Swirling black energy gathered at her palm, and shot the Dragon away. The Dragon loudly crashed into the ground, but she was up in no time, only this time, she was literally pissed off.

Her fangs were longer than they had been before, and almost everyone was scared out of their wits, but Laze was the only one who was wise enough not to show it. Laze felt the blast long before it was fired as it grew immensely. But before it was fired, she focussed her own aura, only hers created a wall that shielded her, and her friends. The blast of lightning was hurled straight at Laze, but she quickly put the shield on, shielding the whole gang. However, the blast held on longer than she had expected, and the second her shield lost its strength, the blast broke it like glass and hit her square in the face.

Laze was hurled back against the ground, but she was to her feet instantly.

"DAMN!!!" she cursed angrily.

Laze stood up and grabbed the tip of her scythe between her fingers. Black sparks began spiraling around her. With a cry of anger, she raised her right fist as the energy gathered there and her scythe vanished for the moment. Laze lowered her hand to just in front of her face, where she watched the black and purple sparks crackle around her flesh, not harming it as the world darkened even more intensely.

Another cry of anger burst forth from her mouth as her hand moved back, her gaze aimed at the ground. Her hand hit the ground, and the energy surged into it, making the energy expand. They seemed to be standing on nothing but space as Laze looked up from her position in a kneeling position. She slowly rose and aimed both palms at Same. A pure white orb appeared in the center, and became surrounded by streaks of purple and white electricity, which expanded. A violent smirk passed Laze's features as she chuckled at Same's horrified expression.


"FOOOOOOOOOR-EEEEEEEEE-VEEEEEER-ZEEEEEEEEE-ROOOOOO!!!!!!!"


The energy shot towards the Dragon, who wrapped her wings around herself, trying to protect herself, but Elvor, who knew it wouldn't help, only shook his head. There came no explosion. It was like a television screen was turned off, and when the light came back, Same was lying on the ground, horribly weakened, and almost not strong enough to get back up.

Her wings clapped several times, as if trying to lift her up into the air, but even those let her down as her hands lost their strength, making her lose her support. This caused the Dragon to fall flat on her face, and she lost consciousness.


Sky silently walked over to the Dragon and bent down beside her. He placed two fingers on her neck, and softly sighed when he found a heartbeat. He straightened up, then turned to the group. Laze had walked back to the others, and together with Goku, she had healed them with numerous Elements. Sky waited silently for them to finish, and when they did, they turned to him.

"Sky, we already beat you guys, why do we have to beat you two again?!" Vegeta demanded.

"You take this all too lightly," Sky said, a stern look on his face.

"Awe shuddap and ge' ta the point!!" Laze ordered.

Sky chuckled.

"You're pretty feisty for such a little 'un," he mumbled.

"Why you!!!" Laze hissed. "Don't ya dare call me lil' 'un!! Because if ya do I'll kick yer sorry arse so hard, ye'll be kissin' the moons!!"

"Spare me," Sky mumbled sarcastically.

Laze growled angrily.

"Laze, eazy," Ancha said softly.

"There is not much I can tell you, safe for this: in the basement, another enemy awaits you. And I can assure you, it won't be an easy battle. Unless you know what to do. Sadly enough, there's no one who knows. Not even myself or the other Dragons know."

Grobyc blinked.

"What-is-so-hard-about-this-enemy?"

Sky was silent for awhile.

"Elements have no effect on Her."

"WHAT?!?!" everyone exclaimed.

"Bloody Hell?!!? How're we 'posed ta kill Her then?!" Laze demanded.

"If I knew, we would've killed Her eons ago," Sky said.

Kari scratched her head in confusion.

"If you want to proceed," Sky said, one hand moving his cape to in front of him. "You have to beat me."

Hope huffed and pulled out both blades.

"Fine," she said, a little steamed.

"Bloody Hell," Laze hissed and grabbed her scythe.

Bulma pulled out her dagger silently. Vegeta rolled his eyes and pulled out his axe. The others quietly pulled out their own weapons.

Sky moved the cape a little up, and smirked.

"Confident."

He suddenly scowled angrily as his eyes changed from bright white to blood red.

"THEN SHOW ME YOUR SKILLS!!!!" he hollered, pulling a very familiar blade from practically out of nowhere and releasing his cape.

The blood red sword was once again surrounded by black and red spirals.


Uh oh. That spells trouble.

I already told this, but if people desire for me to write a side-story about all couples [lemon style] please tell and I'll see what I can do. I'm not that good at lemons, but that's my own opinion. Also, if you know another couple you'd like to read a lemon about from this story, do tell. [Dragons are allowed as well.]
