Dragon Ball AX

Last time on AX: Rugai and the rest of the Earth Fighters, arrived on Lygeria to save War from death, at the hands of the Mechromancers. With life on the line once again, can they stop the Mechromancers? Stay tuned, to Dragon Ball AX.

Rugai and the others finally caught up with Kanashimi. She was already in the heat of battle against the Mechromancers, in her Super Saiyan 2 mode. "Looks like she's having fun." Said War while the Rugai and the others floated in mid-air.

"She can't help herself. Kanashimi is trying to get my attention, wanting me to praise her and acknowledge her." Tenchu got a shiver down his spine, and gave Rugai a worried look. "I love Deena, since I crashed on Earth. With Kanashimi, she's more of a sister trying to overcome the wall a big brother has set." All of them nodded, like they knew the struggles of a younger sibling, Tenchu hitted him hardest. Rugai took a deep breath, transformed into his Super Saiyan 2, and used his Instant Transmission ability.

"Sometimes, I really hate when he uses that. Has he taught anyone else that ability?" War looked at the others, not a single person raised their hands. Primarily because Rugai wanted one ability that he calls his own. "Oh great goddess Lyriss, deliver me this glorious victory against my enemies!" War charged, and halfway to the battle, War transformed into his berserk mode. Tenchu, Ferno and Darryn fired off Ki blasts from a safe distance. Kanashimi was breathing heavily, and powered down to Super Saiyan mode.

"About time the idiot king shows his face!" Kanashimi was preventing from doubling over in pain. "What the hell took you so long?" Rugai fired off multiple Shotgun ki blasts at Mechromancers who were getting close to her.

"Could've told us where you were going. Why are you being so arrogant towards us?" Kanashimi raised a hand, and tried to fire a ki blast. She barely damaged a Mechromancer when she returned to her normal state. Rugai caught her with one hand before she hit the ground. "What...am I going to do with you." Rugai used his Instant Transmission, and took her back to War's throne room, and returned back to where he stood. "Give them hell!" War loved Rugai's words of encouragement, and raged harder than before. Ferno, Tenchu and Darryn joined Rugai in close quarter combat. They pushed back the Mechromancers back to their landing site. Rugai was in awe, that is, whenever he wasn't beating up Mechros.

"I'm sensing living beings in there!" Ferno yelled. Tenchu took a moment to sense inside the ship.

"He's right!" He then used a super explosion to destroy a decent number of Mechromancers that was surrounding him. Darryn kept silent, while hacking into one of the Mechrmancer's head. He was gaining very valuable information, one of them was the Mechromancers' home planet coordinance.

Our heroes finally fought their way to the ship's ramp. "Darryn, get inside and do what you do best!" Rugai knew he wasn't any good with computers, and since Darryn is still a machine...ish, sending him in was the better choice.

"Thank you for trusting me, sir Rugai." Rugai gave a quick thumbs up, and went back to keeping the Mechromancers at bay. Darryn navigated the corridors like he was already familiar with it. Darryn reached the cockpit with little resistance whatsoever, and started wirelessly hacked and downloaded the entire ship's data into his mind. 'That should do it. Now to activate the self destruct.' After Darryn set the auto destruct to 30 minutes, he put an ecryption algorythm that changes every 0.005 seconds, to prevent anyone from stopping it. Darryn then blew a hole just above the console, and was about to fly away when his sensors detected someone unknown approaching.

"So, a lesser lifeform had infiltrated and set the self destruct sequence. And with an ecryption algorythm so basic its laughable." The Mechromancer started laughing, slightly, then quit when he couldn't break the algorythm. "Well...since this algorythm is unbreakable, I'll have to keep you here until the time runs out...Bio android!" Darryn took an attack position, and waited for the Mechromancer to make the first move.

"I've been augmented with the top of the line bio cybernetics the universe has seen. I've traveled with a Saiyan who has stopped oblivion. I am designated Darryn, former member of the Black Fist Organization. And I will stop you from eliminating all life in the universe!" The Mechromancer charged at Darryn. Darryn blocked the incoming punch, and countered with a kick to the Mechromancer's mid-section. "I request your name in this fight. What is your designation." The Mecromancer took a couple steps back.

"My designer named me 8355214. . I will take your head to him, and it will improve our power to unstoppable..." 835 paused when he replayed Darryn's declaration. "Did you say, you're traveling with a Saiyan?" Darryn just nodded once. 835 started shaking like an organic child . "The Saiyans are destroyers of life. How could you travel with a race that's hell bent on destruction of the universe?" Darryn knew better than to believe the words 835 is saying.

"My sensors indicate your words are false. The Saiyans value life, protect those who cannot protect themselves, and eliminate evil when necessary." The Mechromancer 835's facial expression, went to stern, and charged again at Darryn. Darryn teleported himself to the cockpit door, and imitated Rugai's Shotgun technique. 835 was knocked into the console. "That should take care of any attempts of you manually overriding the abort codes." Darryn's right hand was clenched tightly into a fist. Then it transformed into a rifle, and charged it like a particle beam gun. "Eat this!" Darryn fired it at the Mechromancer, destroying him completely. The lights started to pulsate red at an alarming rate, the 'less than two minute warning' siren blared loudly. Darryn flew out of the ship at a speed of mach 1.

Rugai saw how fast Darryn took off, which means that he was successful. "Mission acomplished! Back to the palace!" Ferno, War and Tenchu flew fast and hard away from the ship. Rugai used his Instant Transmission at the very last minute before the explosion. When the ship did explode, the remaining Mechromancers blew up along as well. Back at the palace, Rugai breathed heavily as he nearly fell on the floor, two of the Were-Lygers caught him, and gently placed him by the vending machine. "Thanks. Thought..I had..enough time." Ryu hit the button, and helped his dad drink the Senzu drink. In mere seconds, Rugai was feeling better than ever. "Thank you, son." Lyra didn't like it that her brother was quicker on the draw than she was, part of her self training was to be faster than Ryu, not only in reflexes, but in administering help when needed. Darryn was the second to arrive at the palace, and saw Rugai's clothes burnt on his back.

"Sir Rugai, do you need any assistance, or medical help?" Rugai shook his head. "Then allow me to repair the clothes on your back." Darryn adjusted his right arm's rifle, and fired a low beam of green light at Rugai. The clothes started repairing themselves, while at the same time, upgrading the fibers all over. "This will not take long. Your clothes will be more durable than before, and less likely to rip or get tore up." Darryn meant what he said. The beam automatically shut itself off, and reverted back to a normal looking hand. Rugai moved in his usual look, but felt so lightweight that to him, felt like he was completely nude.

"Thanks buddy. When did you learn this, and I thought you were an all organic android?" Darryn slightly shook his head.

"I am an all organic android. I have the capabilities to alter any part of myself to have a look of metal implants. One of the upgrades I have aquired some time back." Rugai tried his best not to get confused at the technical explinations.

War slumped himself on his throne, right hand over his face. Tenchu and Ferno looked at him with concern. "Don't look at me like some helpless cub. I'm still more than capable to dealing a deathly blow to those damned Mechromancers." Tenchu sat on the floor, While Ferno stood with his arms crossed.

"Not what we're concerned about." War adjusted his fingers, and just looked at Ferno.

"If you think I'm pushing myself, I'm not. All I need is a few hours of sleep, and I'm good for an entire Earth month." Tenchu and Ferno didn't buy it, but chose to not to press it further. "Android, do you know where the Mechromancers' homeworld is?" Darryn scrolled his memory banks, and displayed a 3D model of the Mechrovia and its coordinates. "Jakarta, prepare a ship. We depart immediately." Jakarta bowed, then departed. War adjusted his hand, and leaned his head on his fist. "Going to leave your cubs here? Will be dangerous if they came along." Lyra and Ryu, looked at their dad like 'don't leave us from the fun'. While Tenchi and Diana tugged at Tenchu's outfit with slight terror.

"Well..." Rugai spoke up first. "My kids are half Saiyans, and want to follow my footsteps." War just shifted his eyes at Tenchu.

"Mine doesn't want to, but they should know better that their needs should be set aside for the greater good." Tenchi and Diana sulked their heads, and slightly nodded. War exhaled quickly, then the room stayed completely silent.

Mechrovia...

The citadel, the largest structure on the entire planet. Maintains laws, determines what is best for its people, and declare war they see as a potential threat. Most of the time, they exterminate life on other planets, by sucking out its core and natural resources, causing an implosion of epic proportions. "Species 8172 have aquired an outside assistance from a supposed species 4293, 0188, and 96412."

"I have led to believe that the Saiyans were supposed to be extinct. That the one designated Lyc, and the four that followed were the last of their kind." One of the elders said in one of the shadowy alcove.

"Hypothosis: Species 4293 has sent more of their kind into hiding before we hollowed out their planet. Question: How is it that more of their kind still exist? Follow up question: Why hasn't the prince of the Saiyans stopped more of their uprising?"

"Debunk: Species 4293 only sent 8 of their offsprings off planet, which answers question 1. As to answer your follow up question, one scout ship followed Lyc, and reported that he was defeated by the hands of one designated Rugai, son of our archnemesis Dugai." The Mechromancer elders kept on their deliberating with the events between Lyc's end, and what transpired on Lygeria.

Back on Lygeria...

The Earth Fighters, War and a few Were-Lygers gathered at one of War's warship. "We will take out the Mechromancers, and save the universe like you guys did before." Before War could board, Bull stopped him.

"They'll destroy all of us before you can reach Mech-topia. Best if we head there with my ship." Rugai looked at Bull with an arched eyebrow. "You heard me, boy. You haven't kept up on maintenance, or anything for that matter. Now shut it or I'll invent something deadly and make you the sole tester." Rugai slowly turned his head away from Bull, while still keeping the arched eyebrow, until his gaze went back to War.

"Really hate to say this, but muscle head is right. We better take ours and give them the element of surprise." Bull's left eye twitched with irritation. "Besides, as tough as these Mechromancers are, we will need all the fighters we can hold." Rugai turned towards the children. "Your mothers will kill us for letting you take part in this battle. So whatever we say, you do, understand?" All four children nodded. Bull left the throne room, and made preperations with the ship. Darryn followed, to help with further improvements.

Almost a week passed, during that time, the children trained under War. Learning everything he had to offer. Rugai and Kanashimi just stood, staring at each other. Ferno and Tenchu wondered what is happening between them. In a single blink, both of them dissappeared, and explosions of connected physical blows filled the sky above War's palace, and all over Lygeria. "I just...blinked...and they're gone." Tenchu said while trying to follow the sparring.

"I haven't, and...I can't keep up." Ferno closed his eyes while trying to sense their movements. Outside, Darryn had taken parts from the Mechromancers that littered the ground, and from what's left of their spaceship.

"Bolt for brains, any usable parts? Darryn pulled various parts out, fusing together half burnt parts that could be used for other things.

"Affirmative. After probing these Mechromancers, I now have a better understanding of how their technology works. I would like to impliment some upgrades that will hide us from Mechromancers." Bull did his 'don't-really-need-my-permission-just-do-it' wave. Darryn did what he suggested, and partly changed the look of the ship. It looked like a futuristic steampunk with the largest Qube Corp. logo on the wings. Another week passed, Bull and Darryn finished modifying and upgrading the ship. The Earth Fighters noticed how strong the children got, and showed it by sparring with their fathers. Tenchi and Diana barely landed a blow on their dad, while Ryu and Lyra gave Rugai a hard time. Rugai saw for less than a split second, Ryu and Lyra's hair and eyes changed. He knew that they needed a push to go Super Saiyan.

On that final day of the week, the Earth Fighters, War and a small army of Were-Lygers boarded the ship. Before they took off, Darryn remotely launched one of the ships that was close to theirs.

With a plan and determination, our heroes, along with War and the Were-Lygers, made their way towards the Mechromancers' homeworld. Will their decoy plan work? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball AX.
