Dragon Ball AX
Last time on AX: Rugai told the rest of the Earth Fighters his journey in Toki Toki City, while War and the rest of the Were-Lygers was busy fighting the Mechromancers on a distant planet. Later, Rugai and Tenchu sent their kids on a journey around the Earth. Now, one Were-Lyger landed on Earth, and is finding our heroes. Can he find them? Stay tuned to Dragon Ball AX.
The Were-Lyger made it to West City, and lost Rugai's scent. Lord War is going to be so mad at me. I have failed my task. He was about to give up, when he saw on the tv, the epic fight between War and Rugai. He then went in, and asked for information about Rugai. Unfortuneately, neither the manager and the cashier knew anything about it. With a heavy sigh, the Were-Lyger left. His next stop, oddly, was a police station.
"Do you have a crime to report to..." The front desk officer turned his head, and was surprised to see the Were-Lyger. "I remember you. Yeah, you were one who fought Ferno."
"I request information about someone who lives on Earth. Please tell me if Rugai Son lives close by. It is imperative that I find him." The officer saw tears in the Were-Lyger's eyes. went to his computer, and typed in the name.
"Well no one by that name lives here in West City. But let me make some inquiries. Why don't you go into that office, and lay down on the couch. You look exhausted." The Were-Lyger made his way to the office, and fell asleep. The officer kept his word, and searched for the wherabouts of Rugai.
Ryu and the rest of the kids reached the merchant town of Mer-cante. They were greeted by none other than Stein, the new leader of the town. "Hello kids, where are your parents?" Tenchi spoke first.
"Our parents are in Snowvilla. Our dads sent us on a training journey around the world." At that moment, Stein remembered years back, Rugai and his friends helped him and the town from the Black Fist Organization.
"Who are your parents?" Stein asked, Ryu and Lyra spoke in unison to respond.
"Our parents are Rugai and Deena." Tenchi and Diana did the same after them.
"Ours is Tenchu and Sanfan." Stein was floored. Then he invited all four of them to his diner, in which he called ahead and had the cooks make food for the young lads. Soon as they got there, Ryu and Lyra chowed down like how Rugai did the first time he ate there. The kitchen staff, was shocked. Like Stein, they hadn't seen anyone with an appetite like them since Rugai. But thanks to him, they recieved many awards for being the fastest restaraunt in the world.
"I remember your fathers. They were so young when I met them. Still can't believe that they grew up, and have kids of their own. Cest la vie."
The officer in West City just hung up the phone with one of his buddy's in North City. He got the information the Were-Lyger needed. As he got into the office, The Were-Lyger did a few push-ups by the couch. "I got what you need. I thought you were asleep?" The Were-Lyger got up.
"Were-Lygers don't need much sleep. We can stay up for long periods of time, and with only a couple hours sleep." The officer was stunned, then handed the Were-Lyger the paper with the information he wanted. "He lives that far north? Thank you for helping me." The Were-Lyger bowed, and took his leave. Soon as he got outside, he took to the skies, and flew towards Snowvilla.
Rugai and Tenchu enjoyed their visit to Kami's Lookout. Rugai had his stomach filled with food, while Tenchu and the Namekian had an intellectual conversation in one of the nearby rooms. All of them waved their farewells, then the two took off and headed towards Qube Corp., to test out another one of Bull's...inventions. "I wonder how our children are doing?" Tenchu asked Rugai, knowing the answer anyways.
"I'm sure they're doing fine. It took us almost a month to get to Mer-cante. So probably it took them a couple weeks. Besides, they need this now more than ever, in case something happens to us and they need to take over." Tenchu liked how smart Rugai has gotten since he landed on Earth many years ago.
"Hey." Rugai looked at Tenchu. "I may not have said it before, or as often as I should have." Rugai got a bit of confusion on his face. "But I'm glad you came here. And for being my best friend." Rugai lightly smacked Tenchu's shoulder, and gave him a smile. Tenchu smiled, and return the shoulder smack. "So what did the 'mighty Bull' want from us this time?"
"Knowing him, probably something dangerous that he didn't want his kids to test out." Rugai returned his head back to its original position.
"So naturally he made us test it out. Kinda wish he wouldn't do that to us." Rugai chuckled a bit, then went Super Saiyan and flew faster. Tenchu just flew faster, knowing that he doesn't have a super mode.
Ryu and the others, sat at the roof of one of the buildings, trying to figure out where to go next. Diana unfolded the map, and gently placed it in the middle of all of them. "Why not try our luck going east?" Tenchi said without hesitation.
"East feels...like it should be the end, or something. How about we go south?" Lyra said.
"South? Seriously? West is the best?" Diana didn't want to head south. Mostly because she gets weirded out whenever someone mentions 'let's go south'.
"Ugh. You are stupid, Diana. Why do you hate going south so badly?" Diana just stuck her tongue out at Lyra.
"Please don't fight. Dad said that if we can't agree on where to go, we all head to our own directions, and hopefully we meet up back home." Ryu was the voice of reason. The only sound that was going on, was the people on the streets. "Why not go different directions, and train under seperately?" No one said a word. They just got up, and went to their desired direction.
Rugai and Tenchu got to Qube Corp.'s front door. "I hate when Bull summons us, and not explain what experiment he wants us to test." Rugai nodded. As they entered, they see Ferno, Kanashimi, and Darryn standing in the lobby. "This can't be good if the five of us are here. Wait, what about the rest of the Saiyans?" Jeena entered the loby, just as he spoke those words.
"The rest of our race decided not to fight anymore. Well, not in the traditional sense. With the exception of Vivek, the three of them are our express delivery system all over the world." Kanashimi lightly scoffed, while Rugai got a sigh of relief. He wanted the rest of the Saiyans to live a normal life, and not risking their lives like him and Kanashimi does.
"I summoned you here like puppets for a reason." Bull said right behind Tenchu and Rugai. All five of them jumped, and turned towards him in attack position. Bull laughed his usual style. "Man, you guys are always easy to get." Rugai was the only one to lower his stance.
"One of these days, just...one of these days." Bull kept the smirk on his face.
"Anyways, first I would show you my newest invention, the personal teleporter that lets me teleport anywhere in or on the world. Second, I've developed new realistic holographic training rooms for each one of you. But I need you all to test them for me, and I can make the necessary adjustments without any trouble for you guys whatsoever." Tenchu was the only one who groaned in disbelief.
The Were-Lyger finally made it to Snowvilla. Deena greeted him at the gate. "You're a Were-Lyger, aren't you?" He nodded. "What brings you to our little village?" The Were-Lyger got on his hand and knees, and started begging.
"Kind woman, is the Lord of the Saiyans here?" Deena was confused, but quickly remembered that Rugai is the Saiyan king.
"Sadly, my husband should be at Qube Corp. at this time. Is something wrong?" The Were-Lyger was starting to freak out a bit.
"No. My lord sent me to Earth, to bring the Saiyan king at his request. Mechromancers are overpowering us." Deena helped up the Were-Lyger to his feet.
"Why don't we head over to where Rugai is, and you can ask him for help. Do you know how to fly?" The Were-Lyger nodded. "OK. Just follow me, and we'll be there in no time."
Back at Qube Corp...
Bull made five different realistic holograhic training rooms. After each of the Earth Fighters entered, Bull remotely sealed it tightly behind them. "Listen up because I'm going to say this once." Bull's voice came through the speakers of each room at the same time. "There's a control monitor by the entrances. It will let you fight in any enviroment you can think of in your less than brilliant minds." Tenchu, Rugai and Darryn knows too well Bull's sadistic mind when it comes to his inventions and using them as test monkeys. "In this...inagural testing phase, I have already preprogrammed a special enviroment that will...test...your snap judgement." Kanashimi had her arms crossed, and tapping the floor with her right heel, like she just wants this to be over with. Ferno's arms was crossed, but his eyes are closed, waiting for it to start. Darryn stood motionless, doing a thousand yard stare. Rugai and Tenchu did some stretches, to warm themselves up for anything Bull is throwing at them.
All five rooms activated at once. Much to everyones' surprise, they were hovering in a heavily stalagmite and stalagtite cave. They saw a holographic versions of each other 'next' to each other. "Let me guess." Tenchu turned around and looked at the speaker. "You want us to race each other." Bull chuckled over the speakers. "I'm guessing that's a yes." Shortly after Tenchu said that, a holographic traffic light appeared in front of all of them. The red light flashed a couple of times, then held on yellow. All five of them took a ready position, awaiting for that green light to show up. Four of them, their bodies twitched randomly, like they want this race to start already. Rugai, on the other hand, was calmed and showed no signs of anxiousness.
The light went green finally, and all five of them took off like a sonic boom. Each of them dodged the stalagtites and stalagmites at an insane speed no one could've endured in a fighter jet. Kanashimi went Super Saiyan and took the lead. Ferno learned from the Namekian guardian of Earth, and unlocked an 'enhanced' mode never seen in a Kamekian ever. Ferno used it, and went just as fast as a Super Saiyan. Darryn diverted power into his speed and defense, and quickly caught up with Ferno and Kanashimi.
Tenchu didn't looked surprised, he anticipated at least three of his friends would do such a thing. He looked at Rugai, and saw him half grinning at him. "Aren't you going to transform, and win the race?" Rugai adverted his attention in front of him.
"As much fun that would be, I'm going to have to pass." Tenchu raised an eyebrow, while both still doding the rocks.
"Well then...EAT MY DUST!" Tenchu put up his aura, and just barely caught up with Darryn. Rugai just hunged back, watching from a distance the four of them competing to be the best. Ever since Rugai's impromtu journey in Toki Toki city, trying to be the best wasn't a top priority in his head.
Deena and the Were-Lyger finally made it to Qube Corp.'s front entrance. "This is the place. Nervous?" The Were-Lyger just shook his head no. "Alright. In we go." Deena was the first one in. She looked around, and felt the place shook. Immediately, she thought two scenarios, first one was two of them are fighting and got out of hand. And the second one was one of Bull's experiments went south.
In Kanashimi's holo-chamber, she started blasting away the rocks. The rest of them just kept swerving around them. "This program...IS STUPID! I want to kick some ass already!" Everyone stopped, and just floated where they stopped at.
"Cool it, girlie." Bull said over the speakers. "I anticipated at least one of you to get this way." The chambers shifted landscapes. Kanashimi's layout looked like Pargonia near destruction. She looked all around her, and noticed a shilouette of Rugai walking into her view. She transformed into her Super Saiyan 2 form, and charged at him.
Ferno's scene, resembled Dreego, a planet the Saiyans and Darryn visited during their search for Rugai. Ferno walked around, and another shilouette started coming into view. This time, it was Tenchu.
Darryn's chamber, was shifted to a ruined Earth city, facing off against himself. Tenchu's was Midgear, and Ferno floated high in the air. Rugai's became Argonia, with Kanashimi standing on a fountain. A second later, all five holo-chambers exploded all at once. Rugai was in his Super Saiyan 3 form, Kanashimi in Super Saiyan 2, Ferno was almost twice his normal size, Darryn and Tenchu just stood where they were at like it didn't phase them. Both Saiyans powered down to their normal state, Ferno back to his as well.
Deena and the Were-Lyger waited for Rugai and the others in the living room, Deena was having a conversation with Jeena, while the Were-Lyger indroduced to television. "What brings him here?" Jeena asked.
"He said he was on a mission from War, and needed to talk to Rugai." Both of them turned their heads, and just watched the Were-Lyger flip through the channels.
Rugai's group felt better after Bull's serv-bot handed each of them a new healing drink. "This...taste familiar." Rugai said after downing the drink.
"I call them Senzu. After analyzing the beans, I've re-created their healing attributes and liquidfy them. Only for after you...tested...my experiments, or your training sessions." Everyone finished their drinks, and immediately, felt rejuvinated. "Now clean up my lab." Silently, all five of them groaned in their heads.
The children continue their journey around the world, while the adults better themselves. With the Were-Lyger just feet away, can he get Rugai to help War defeat the Mechromancers? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball AX.
