Monsters
As the dusk settled on a victory claimed by the Saiyan and human rebels against the heartless Red Ribbon Empire, a new war was being waged on the other side of the battlefield. Scoffed shoes scraped across blood stained rocks as a mysterious figure leapt into the endless shadows of the night.
"Gotta find them, gotta find them, before it's too late"
The figure said to himself. Spiky, slightly grayed black hair sprouted from the chestnut like head of the figure that combed the graveyard of misery he once called home. A shadow suddenly stretched towards the feet of the figure, he gasped and looked towards the source.
"Please let me be wrong for once"
The figure approached the shadow's source, his footsteps slowing down as he reluctantly got closer and closer to see what it was. The man growled and silently stared at the ground, bitter curses and snarled hatred muttered under his spite filled breath. The dark haired man approached the body that belonged to the shadow. The body belonged to a young black teen, with white puffy pants, a war torn black and gold vest, and long spiky black hair.
Krillin sighed "Looks like they got you too Uub. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, I did everything I could to get here in time, but in the end I failed you. Goodbye my friend".
The small warrior leaned in and shut Uub's eyes, giving a last private prayer of peace for his departed friend. The deep, crushing marks on Uub's neck looked like fingers, as if someone literally broke his neck with a single grip.
Krillin growled "Bastards, they're killing us off left and right, treating us like fish in a barrel. This isn't right, this isn't fair! Human beings shouldn't be living like this, forced into fear and hiding from our own creations. Those abominations have to be stopped; they have to PAY for what they've done".
Tracks from Uub's corpse trailed off towards a large plant up ahead, a manufacturing plant. Large oval containers shaped like towers could be seen as Krillin continued to follow the tracks. Krillin desperately soared into the sky and dove faster and faster towards the buildings, hoping and preying he wasn't too late. Uub and Bra were on patrol for any new chemical plants the machines might be making, their last transmission indicated signs of trouble.
Krillin knew Bra and Uub must have found something; otherwise the androids wouldn't have been out here in the middle of no where in the first place. With Uub dead, Krillin is hoping that Bra has not suffered the same fate and that he might rescue her before she too is killed. A gathering of figures soon came into view as Krillin approached the front of the plant. Large bubbles flowed from inside the oval containers glass outer coating.
Their spies were right; the machines were trying to make chemical weapons again, after all these years. Krillin frowned and stood firmly prepared for battle. A chuckling, purple skinned midget suddenly appeared, with big yellow sunglasses, a large green hat, and an orange colored raincoat.
"Well, well now, what do we have here? Poor little red riding hood, all alone and face to face with the wolf" the midget chuckled.
Krillin replied "Shut your trap Android 15, you know damn well who I am and why I'm here. So let's cut the crap and release Bra at once".
Android 15 smiled "Oh you mean this little ragamuffin?".
Suddenly a second Android 15 appeared and was holding Bra by the neck, the blue haired girl gasped as she spotted Krillin across from her. Her once charming and seductive body was now in scars and bloody rags, her red outfit seemingly thrashed and sliced by some sort of blade. Dried blood could be seen on the left side of Bra's defiant yet frightened face.
"Krillin, I'm sorry I couldn't blow up the factory like you wanted, I tried, I tried so hard" Bra pleaded.
Krillin gasped "No Bra, please just stop. You did fine, just relax and stay calm, I'm not going to let him hurt you".
The android chuckled "You mean US don't you rat brain?".
Another flash of purple and orange appeared next to Krillin, and another behind him, and another, and another. In minutes, Android 15's had Krillin surrounded from every angle. Krillin growled as he had forgotten about the special upgrades Mastermind had given all of Dr. Gero's creations. With the power of duplication on his side, Android 15 would be impossible to defeat all alone, especially with Bra's life on the line. The metal midget chuckled.
"Do yourself a favor and use your head cue ball. You disgusting meat sacks are out of your league, were the ones giving orders around here. The ball's in our court daddy-o, and unless you want your prissy little partner back in one piece, you're going to play by our rules" Android 15 said.
Krillin growled "What is it you want?".
Android 15 grinned "The coordinates for the rebel base of course".
The human shook his dark haired head "Not on your life, I'd rather die then help you robot rejects".
"Appreciate the offer, but I think I'll settle for some splatter Bra stew instead" Android 15 said.
Bra screamed as the android's multiple copies started to crush their hands around Bra's head, her blue haired skull starting to bleed from the force. Krillin snarled in anger as the screams were burning at his very soul. The human begged for help as he demanded the androids cease their torture.
Krillin cried out "GOD DAMMIT, let her go, she knows nothing".
Android 15 frowned "I ain't no sucker, you expect me to buy that crap?".
Krillin replied "Then trade me in her place, you can do whatever you want to me just let Bra ago. I'll be all yours and all I ask in return is you release her. After that, you can torture the information out of me for as long as you like".
The android hummed "How do I know you're on the level?".
"Only one way to find out. I'm right here, ready and waiting, just release Bra and you can force me to do whatever you want, that's the deal" Krillin said.
Bra snarled "You big jerk, what the hell do you think you're doing? I can't just let you throw your life away for me, come on don't do this Krillin, we can MPMH".
One of the Android 15 clones clapped his purple digits over the girl's mouth, 15 wanted time to think about this. As much as Android 15 loved to watch humans suffer, he knows Mastermind was getting antsy and demanding results. Krillin is a higher rank then Bra and far more likely to have the information 15 requires. The purple midget looked to his cybernetic clones and nodded, Android 15 was willing to make the deal and trade Bra away.
Krillin lowered his hands and head in defeat, walking towards the androids and preparing to be taken. Bra still angrily squirmed and struggled in horror at Krillin's decision. As greedy and selfish as the girl was, it was breaking her heart to see someone give up their life for her like this. But as Krillin started to approach the circle for the trade, something sparkled above the glass oval containers. A shadowy figure appeared high above the plant.
Blood red eyes seeped through endless showers of darkness, the faint sound of growling and grunting could be heard.
Krillin gasped "Oh my god……it's him……EVERYONE GET DOWN NOW".
KABOOM!
Red energy exploded on the ground and suddenly evaporated miles worth of solid rock. Krillin and Bra screamed as the blast hurled them apart from each other, Android 15 cried out as some his clones were vaporized.
"What the hell is going on here?" Android 15 asked.
A savage animal howl screamed into the night, the shadow started to roar and chant as he banged his chest like a savage primate. Android 15 gasped as the being leapt down and suddenly squashed the purple robot in seconds. The beast like creature grabbed another Android 15 and ripped him in half, razor sharp claws sliced another robot in half. More red colored energy balls formed in the beast's claws as he fired them savagely all around the area.
The black fur, the blood colored hair, the beastly fangs, and that lust for carnage, it was unmistakable.
"It's him. The beast……the Black Saiyan……Kakkarott" Krillin gasped.
The savage monster was indeed, none other then Goku's more vicious and evil other half. Created from the seething evil and hatred long since hidden in the darkest bowels of Goku's heart. The Beast as he was called, was born from the nuclear radiation of Android 30's atomic attack 25 years ago. Mutating Goku's body into a permanent Super Saiyan 4, the monster has been a nightmare for both humans and machines, causing chaos everywhere.
Green colored energy blasts pelted the Beast from behind as the army of mini androids started blasting their energy at the monster. Kakkarott snarled as he reared back his left hand and fired a tremendous energy blast, the wave blasted through the android copies and smashed into one of the oval containers. A gushing burst of acidic chemicals and toxic fluids oozed out and seeped into the ash stained landscape. Krillin and Bra turned to run.
The Beast leapt on all fours and raced after the fleeing humans, drool and hunger dripping from his lion like fangs. Krillin gasped the black monster appeared before them and bashed his forearms against the 2 humans. The young Saiyan teen though quickly regained composure on her curvy legs, and red leather shredded pants. Bra was raised to be a warrior not a victim. Krillin begged for Bra to run away but she ignored him and charged ahead.
The hulking ape like creature remained still as Bra reared back her leg and slammed it into the Beast's face, she then formed a yellow energy ball in her hands and fired it into his chest. Unphased and unaffected by Bra's attacks, the hairy ape roared as he smashed his knuckles into Bra's face. The girl dropped in seconds with blood gushing from her nose and lips. The Beast then lunged after Bra as she fell and jammed his fist right into her belly.
"AHHHHHHH" Bra screamed.
The monstrous monkey roared and savagely ripped something from her inner organs, blood oozed from the Beast's crushing grip. Bra gasped in pain before leaning her head back and dying.
Krillin screamed "You son of a bitch!".
Anger drove Krillin into a fury driven frenzy as he prepared to attack the Beast, but the creature was ready for him and turned around in a flash. The Beast slashed his claws across Krillin's chest and smacked the crippled human to the ground. Krillin cried out in pain as large, blood dripping claw marks appeared on his stinging chest. The Beast laughed a sickening chuckle of sorts before turning his red haired head; he still had Android 15 to kill.
Teal colored balls of energy rapidly fired from the multiple Android 15 clones, the small, purple skinned army of androids attacked the Beast with everything they had. The demonic monster glared hatefully as he spotted the "real" 15 hiding behind his army of copies. Android 15 was struggling with a small watch like device, rapidly hitting it and screaming into it.
15 screamed "Omnibots, Omnibots, signal the GOD DAMN Omnibots already".
The watch was actually a micro communicator that was signaling for reinforcements. The Beast roared and slashed his claws against the brunt of the android army, a gigantic red colored energy wave sliced through the robots like water. Fragmented robot parts showered down like silver rain, Android 15 squealed as the Beast now had him in sight. Fangs opened up as the Beast fired a red colored energy blast from his jaws right at Android 15.
The purple midget cried out and jumped out of the way, an explosion rocked the chemical plants as a massive hole was formed in one of the containers. Fowl smelling toxic chemicals and gasses started to slither out of the container. Krillin gasped as he quickly covered his mouth, he had to escape or else he'd be poisoned like Vegeta. Android 15 quickly removed a small pen from his sky blue pants, and fired it like a projectile at Krillin's legs.
PING!
A small, blinking object the size of a dime landed on the back of one of Krillin's legs, it was a homing device. The Beast roared as he grabbed 15 by his bright red bow tie and started slashing his claws into the robot's purple face.
ZAP!
An enormous energy wave suddenly smashed into the red ape creature and propelled him off of Android 15. The Beast roared and glared to the skies, towards the one who had interfered with his prey. It was a gigantic robot, round shaped, dark black in color and almost oval like in appearance. The machine had a single, worm shaped glass like eye on a small, thin canopy. The flat chest on the bulky robot had the gigantic sized RR logo on it.
Stubby legs and arms flexed mechanical muscles and black, chubby steel digits equipped with blasters in their palms, and gun barrels in their fingers. The Godzilla sized robots were twice the size of any dinosaur, and almost the height of an average hotel. These dreaded, towering weapons of destruction and death are none other then the feared and revered, Omnibots, the most powerful mechanical minions in all of the Red Ribbon Empire.
The Beast grinned "Yum, yum".
Android 15 screamed "ANNHILATE HIM".
The Omnibots opened up their chests and revealed blindingly bright mirror like panels, preparing for the Beast's Kame Hame Ha attack. Kakkarott fired the awesome beam at the robots and gasped as it was reflected right back at him, ten times its normal size and power. The Beast leapt from his clawed palms and climbed up the chemical towers, dodging swinging fists of iron from the ogre sized androids. 15 gasped as the Beast was right above them.
The black demon was sitting on top of one of the chemical containers, grinning wickedly as the Omnibots charged up their chest panel guns.
"NO, stop, deactivate at once, he's tricking you, you're going to" Android 15 pleased.
But it was too late; the Omnibot opened fired on the chemical plant and vaporized it with a single shot from its chest blaster. The Beast leapt onto the robot and bashed his clawed fists into the robot's face, hammering like a primate into the central glass eye with savage ferocity. The Omnibot collapsed and dropped onto its back as sparks spewed from its open face. The second Omnibot turned to face its fallen friend and marched forward.
The Beast eagerly awaited the 2nd Omnibot to attack, his claws charged with twin balls of red energy as he watched the robot open up its mirror chest. Android 15 panicked and quickly fled the scene as the 2nd Omnibot fired and completely destroyed its counterpart with its mirror blaster. Kakkarott vanished from the vaporized robot and reappeared in front of the 2nd one, the Omnibot lifted up its stubby arms and launched off its own fists like missiles. The Beast laughed and destroyed both fists with his red energy balls. Using the instant transmission, the Beast once again disappeared.
A sudden crack appeared on the Omnibot's mirror panel, the robot sparked as a driving force was smashing it in its belly. The hulking, black furry arms of the Beast were shoving the Omnibot's busted mirror coated chest backwards into a fall. The robot crashed into the other chemical container, drenching the iron drone in an ocean's worth of acidic chemicals and toxic fluids. The sickening smile of pleasure painted over the Beast's fowl face.
Dripping globs of melted metal and sizzling steel oozed down the half fried shell of the totaled Omnibot. Glaring beams of energy formed in the cupped hands of Kakkarott, as the Beast without a soul or name fired a second Kame Hame HA wave. The monstrous monkey leapt on the shattered remains of the robot as Kakkarott bathed in the glorious flames of his opponent's demise. Android 15 gasped from afar, watching the plant go up in smoke.
Android 15 smirked "You're going to die for this monkey boy, you're going to die and I'm going to make sure I'm there when it happens. But first (raises up his miniature tracking device) I think Mastermind would like to see this. I know he'd want us to personally thank Krillin for the location of the rebel base. And soon, very soon……the human race will exist no more".
