Dragon Ball AX

Last time on AX: after narrowly stopping the Mechromancers at their ship, Darryn and Bull made modifications to the ship. During that time, the children was learning all they can from War. Now, they make their way to Mechovia, and stopping the Mechromancers from destroying all life in the universe. Can they do it? Stay tuned to Dragon Ball AX.

Two days passed since they left Lygeria. And on the Earth Fighters' ship was getting cramped...literally. What felt like a few Were-Lygers boarded, turned out, it was a couple hundred that snuck aboard via the cargo bay. Bull's right eye kept twitching since he found out, while Darryn tried his best to keep him calmed...with little effect. Rugai, War, Ferno, Tenchu and the kids was in one of the gravity rooms, training the kids again in one vs. one sparring. Eventually one vs. two, and all out brawl. Rugai took the opportunity to go Super Saiyan 3, and used it against the kids. "Your enemies will do and use everything to overpower you. Either fight, or accept death." Ryu and Lyra was getting mad, that their dad was going all out on them. They suddenly stopped moving. All four adults looked with confusion. Both Ryu and Lyra's body pulsed like a heartbeat. Rugai immediately landed on the floor, but still maintaining his current transformation. Lyra was the first to yell, then Ryu. Tenchi and Diana watched in awe, the events being transpired. Elsewhere, Kanashimi felt the raise in power from the half-breed Saiyans. Ryu and Kanashimi's body pulsed again, both their hairs turned slightly upwards. Their eyes sliding into jade-green color, while their hair transistioned into the same golden yellow as their dad and Kanashimi. With the last minute push, both Ryu and Lyra finally transformed into their Super Saiyan form. Which pleased Rugai greatly. War was the only one shocked at what he was seeing. Ferno and Tenchu, not so much, but did a half smile.

Darryn also detected the rapid increase in power, and determined it was the half Saiyan children. He also noticed a familiar planet that came into view. "Sir Bull, I believe panet Namek is within our path to Mechovia. Shall we make an unscheduled stop?" Bull looked up from his tablet, and saw Namek.

"Why not. Gives us a chance to stretch our legs after being cooped up in this ship. Just don't tell anyone until they disembarked." Darryn nodded, and made planetary fall. Everyone else on the ship thought it was a bit too early for them to reach Mechovia. Darryn landed the ship in the same spot they first landed in years ago. Rugai was the first off the ship, and was shocked to see Namek, flourishing better than he had remembered.

"Why the sudden stop on Namek?" Rugai turned around, and looked at Bull who was still on top of the ramp.

"Being cooped up for so long, because of some UNWANTED GUESTS..." Bull made sure the stowaway Were-Lygers heard him. "We better stretch our legs while we can." Bull finally made his way down the ramp, still keeping his eyes on the tablet. Everyone else finally made their way off the ship. Rugai, Tenchu and Ferno flew off towards the village that was close by. The kids followed after them, not because they hate the Were-Lygers, or Kanashimi for that matter, but because they didn't know what to do when they're around them.

War, and a few of his finest warriors, asked Darryn to take them to any ruins of significance. Darryn only knew of one, the ruins of the Kamekians was close by, and he took them to it. 'Why the sudden inquiry of the Kamekian ruins?' War rotated his head.

"They have many secrets within their technology. They have one of their ruined cities is on Lygeria. I want to know where they went, and why did everyone that knew them, hated the Kamekians so much." Darryn processed what War wanted to know, at least part of it.

"As to where they went, the Kamekians went into the Nexus of Death, and was never seen again. Sir Ferno is the only known Kamekian left in the universe." War was shocked to hear that. He even tried to be the first to explore that part of the universe, and rename it under him. "I have found a usable Kamekian technology during the search for Master Rugai after Argonia and Pargonia exploded. I created safety measures in case if the device was deemed to dangerous. Upon activation, the devise revealed a fully detailed galactic map of the Nexus. My educated guess, is that the Kamekians sent waves of probes into it. But one thing that is constant, and confirmed by other races, is that no one has ever left." War paced a bit, thinking about what Darryn told him. The other Were-Lygers just watched War, awaiting for him to issue commands.

"Once the Mechromancers is finished, do you want to help me tackle Nexus?" Darryn processed War's request, and did a million simultaneous simulations all at once. All had negative consequenses.

"Unfortunately, I would have to decline. I even added the power of Master Rugai's strength, along with the rest of everyone currently with us, and all resulted in failure." War wasn't at all surprised by the answer, and kept on examining the ruins.

A quick step back in time...

O'ja, Vivek, and the other two Saiyans was enjoying their new lives. All of them worked in Qube Corp. warehouse. The other workers was shocked to see the four of them flying to move stuff around, but eventually, they got used to it. The Saiyans eventually told them about what they were, and waited for the appropriate response. "So...you guys are like, aliens?" All four of them nodded. The workers just accepted it like its normal. Days passed, the Saiyans that stayed behind, watched as the ship they used to find Rugai, took off. All four of them sensed everyone they knew that boarded it. They secretly gathered in front of their houses, and discussed about how they left the planet unguarded. O'ja suggested resuming their training, and getting strong enough to keep the Earth safe.

"That's not a bad idea. At least our home won't go unprotected." Zupa said with his hands behind his head. Vivek turned around, and started making his way to his place.

"If we're going to train, better get our gear, and a location. I had a feeling that we might go back to fighting, so I asked that Bull guy to make us training rooms. He said that they're built under our houses." O'ja and the other three Saiyans was shocked, and all of them went back to their houses, and headed to their basement. All four of them went inside their gravity room, and resumed their long put off training.

Back in the present time...

The Earth Fighters and the Were-Lygers finished what they were doing on Namek, and left to resume their trip to Mechovia. "Brings back memories. Uh...sorry bro." Tenchu caught himself from making a verbal mistake. Rugai shook his head.

"It was fun on Namek some years back. I might retire there with Deena...if she wants to leave Snowvilla." Tenchu smiled. Rugai stretched his body. "Well, we better get back to training. We need to be at the top of our game against the Mechromancers." War quickly left the room, and stood in front of one of the gravity training rooms. Days passed, Ryu helped Lyra master her Super Saiyan form, under the complete supervision of their father of course. Ryu wasn't in any hurry to ascend to the next level just yet, but Lyra wanted to. "No need to rush things. We'll take the rest of the day to rest, and get something to eat." Ryu and Lyra was the first to leave, Rugai followed then War.

"I guess even Were-Lygers get hungry." Ferno made an assumption.

"Wouldn't surprise me if they're similar in every way." Tenchu went towards the medi-box, and pressed the plus button twice to dispense two senzu beans, tossed one of them to Ferno. "Something's been bugging me since about the time Rugai faced Blackfist." Ferno ate the bean, as did Tenchu. "The people we faced, either have solely gone after Rugai, or don't see us as a real threat even though we are just as strong as him." Ferno placed a hand on his chin.

"I see someone else also has thought about it, too. It was one of the reasons why I followed Rugai. Unfortunately, I've been getting more questions than answers." Tenchu knew what Ferno was talking about. In the fights Tenchu was in, they were more focused on Rugai, and in a rare chance, Kanashimi as well.

"Let's ask Rugai if we take point once we make landfall. I really want to test my skills on the batlefield. Sure there was the tournaments and all, but I want an actual battle to really see what we're made of." For the rest of the day, Ferno and Tenchu talked about their plan of attack once they reached Mechovia. And alternate methods if plan A fails.

A month passed...

Our heroes reached the edge of the Nexus of Death. "I think my optical vision is malfunctioning." Everyone looked into the void, they took random breaks to prevent the void from staring back.

"Didn't Lizza and Greanne say that those creatures came from the Nexus?" Rugai asked, startling everyone in the cockpit.

"And the Kamekians entered that very same nebula. Hate to even say it, but we might have to cross it in order to reach Mechovia." Tenchu shuttered upon speaking those words. As did everyone else.

"Good thing bolt for brains took samples of the creatures. I examined them, and added most of their organic metallic skin on random parts of the ship. Figuring we would have to go in one day. Didn't think that it would be today." Bull slumped more into his seat, and covered his eyes with his right hand. "Unfortunately, there are still kinks in the new system that needs...tweeking. Go suit up in your space suits." Everyone was shocked.

"You want us...to fly into...that!?" Tenchu asked. Bull just looked at him through two of his fingers he moved. "You can be a real piece, you know that." Bull waved him off like 'whatever'. Tenchu looked at Rugai, then shifted his eyes to the children. Rugai slightly nodded in agreement. "Kids, you'll have to stay here and keep Bull busy." Tenchi and Diana nodded with eagerness. Ryu and Lyra, however, groaned that they wanted to go with them. An hour later, Rugai, Tenchu, Ferno, War, Kanashimi, and the Were-Lygers finished putting on their spacesuits. Meanwhile, Darryn converted most of organic parts to metal again. Something Darryn decided to do on that very same planet he was on when the people there did the ultimate upgrade.

"I have gathered that the Necrosis will attack anything that move. Hypothosis, we just float like lifeless corpses as to not attract attention." Rugai remembered his meditation training years back with King Kai of the North, one involving him sitting on a square plate on top of a very small needle.

"Going to have to." Rugai went to the communicating box, and pressed the cockpit button. "When can you get this ship working to enter the Nebula?" Silence for a few seconds.

Are you kidding me!? With you taking bolt for brains, It will take me longer since I have to babysit your brats! Rugai smiled a bit.

"I think a man of your brilliance, would have that figured out long before we get too far in the Nebula." Rugai didn't see the twitch in Bull's eye.

Better get going. You've actually challenged me to something you'll regret. Everyone put on their helmets, and waited for their suits to pressurize. Minutes passed, each suit beeped a green light, signaling a 'good to go'. Rugai pressed the button, the airlock sucked all the air out, and the outer door opened. Rugai was the first out, and floated into the Nexus. Tenchu and Ferno was next, then Kanashimi and Darryn, and lastly War with the Were-Lygers.

"Ok guys...No sudden movements, and no talking unless its needed." Everyone but Kanashimi answered. Rugai was the first into the void. As he passed, the inside looked like every major city lights clustered together, randomly colored space clouds in various shapes not seen anywhere. And just within Rugai's view, the tinest planet, in the middle of everything. Rugai kept motionless, yet part of him wanted to turn around and see if the others made it in, and was seeing the same thing. He blinked, and the planet was a lot closer than before. 'What kind of place is this? Like time has been ripped apart.' Another blink, and Rugai was on the planet. And that's when everything went to crap. Necrosis littered everywhere, Rugai was doing everything to not freak out. One of the Necrosis got up, and walked around Rugai.

Meanwhile...

Tenchu and Kanashimi landed on another planet, after they were seperated from Ferno and Darryn for no reason. The planet was filled with black trees, white grass and blue insects. Kanashimi was about to take a step, but Tenchu quickly stopped her. Tenchu quickly noticed that the bugs, they are a new variation of the Necrosis, their size is as big as a humanoid.

Elsewhere, Darryn landed on the moon next to a completely different dead planet. This Nebula, is nothing like anything ever seen. Darryn walked on the moon, random Necrosis body parts stuck out from the ground. He pulled one up one part, a right arm, Darryn scanned it to see if it was still active. When the scans showed a negative, Darryn put the part back where he found it.

Ferno floated towards the reddest planet, and sensed much life on it. He felt a small tug at first, then was forced to be pulled towards it nearly at the speed that would probably kill anyone. Ferno opened his eyes, and saw something that was strange yet familiar at the same time. "Wh..what...where am I?" An entire planet, filled with Kamekians of different sizes, young to old, in a city that's so far advanced, no other life could catch up in thousands of years. Ferno snapped his head to the right, and felt an insanely huge power level heading his way. He was too scared to move. It was getting closer, and closer to him. Ferno blinked, and another Kamekian, standing two heads taller than him, looked down at him.

"So..." His very deep voice vibrated Ferno's suit almost like an earthquake. "A bretheren of ours finally came back. Welcome, to Kamek Prime." The Kamekian didn't change his facial expression at all. Ferno didn't trust him one bit. "I sense...another Kamekian in you. So you used the Namekian fusion technique. Our brother...I see. He used the last bit of his strength to merge with you. Come." The Kamekian started flying towards the largest, towering structure on the planet. Ferno stood where he was, still scared to move. The Kamekian stopped, turned around, and used his mind abilities to force Ferno to follow him.

Strange new developments our heroes is taking in the Nexus of Death. Will this detour set them back from Mechovia? And what fate will Ferno have on the Kamekian's homeworld? Stay tuned to the next Dragon Ball AX.
