Vegetasei's Influence chapter 8
Last time on VI: Nappa has angered Kyouteki by saving Gohan from him. Now Kyouteki demands a one on one battle with Nappa.
Goku was almost there. "Hold on for a little bit longer guys." With that the Flying Nimbus sped on.
Bulma was in shock. Just like that Yamcha was gone. His death was so sudden that Bulma couldn't manage a response. She sat there numb staring unseeingly at the crystal ball. The Oxking and the Muten Roshi turned to her; worried by her lack of response. Everyone was silent not knowing what to say at the death of yet another Z senshi.
The silence didn't last long though as Chichi chose that moment to make her way down stairs heavily armed and declaring that she was going to save Gohan from those evil aliens. Oxking got up off the couch and quickly tried to pacify his daughter.
The commotion going on behind Bulma brought her out of her stupor. Yamcha was dead but hope wasn't lost yet. If the others could win this battle then he could be wished back with the Dragonballs.
As Bulma straightened in her seat and focused back on the fight Chichi was coaxed into the seat next to her. Without saying a word both women held onto each other for support.
The whole world seemed to quiet and settle as the two warriors faced each other. Nappa cracked his knuckles and neck before getting into a fighting position. Kyouteki did like wise. Both men began sizing the other up. Then in a flash the battle was raging.
Nappa and Kyouteki rushed at each other at the same time. Both were eager to get the fight started. Kyouteki dodged Nappa's punch and countered with a kick to his side. Nappa didn't even flinch at the attack he just sent a barrage of kicks and punches at his opponent.
None of them hit their target. Kyouteki was just too fast. He back flipped out of the way and sent out a ki blast as he landed on his feet. Nappa jumped out of the way of the attack and into the air where he sent a volley of blasts down to where Kyouteki stood.
Again Kyouteki was too fast to be hit. Using the dust that erupted as the blasts hit the ground as cover Kyouteki maneuvered behind his Seiyajin adversary. Nappa looked down as the cloud of dust settled expecting to see an injured Kyouteki but there was no sign of him. Just then Nappa's scouter flashed altering him to the power source behind him but it was too late.
Kyouteki didn't hesitate to attack putting his fists together he sent Nappa careening into the ground as the huge Seiyajin turned towards him. Kyouteki quickly followed this up with a hailstorm of blasts. Nappa felt each attack hit him square in the back escalating the speed of his fall.
Right before hitting the ground Nappa managed to right himself and avoid the last of the on slot. Despite how many times he'd been hit Nappa wasn't really injured.
Nappa scoffed at the weak attacks. His opponent was nothing like his brother.
Kyouteki was the weakest of his brothers. While Taiteki and Okami were able to bring a Seiyajin to its knees with only a few hits Kyouteki could not. His attacks were a lot weaker which is why he preferred to team up with his twin. Though Kyouteki's attacks left something to be desired he wasn't useless in a fight. He still had his speed and his wits.
Kyouteki had gone up against many opponents like Nappa. His type was nothing but big bags of dithering muscle. Easy to anticipate and even easier to out wit. Kyouteki had readily anticipated that his attacks wouldn't drive Nappa into the ground.
In fact Kyouteki expected Nappa to recover and fly back up to him to make a direct assault and when Nappa did Kyouteki would be ready with an appropriate technique.
Just as Kyouteki had predicted Nappa charged back up to meet him. It had already occurred to Nappa that he would have to get up close to land an attack on Kyouteki due to his speed. It was a lot harder to out run a close attack than it was to dodge a ranged one.
As Nappa reached Kyouteki's height he was sent sprawling into the ground creating a huge crater. Nappa couldn't even guess what had hit him. He didn't have time to. As soon as he was down Kyouteki was upon him with an unrelenting offense.
The Z senshi and the Seiyajin were astounded by the turn of events. Vegeta had been confidant that Nappa could take out the sibling without much delay but his confidence now seemed misplaced. Raditsu was speechless; for a member of the royal guard to be caught in such a position was a rare sight.
Taiteki smirked at his brother's actions. He never worried when his brother fought. Kyouteki knew enough techniques from a multitude of planets that he always had one that he could use in any situation.
Nappa was getting angry. Who did this two bit alien think he was? No one treated a Seiyajin royal guard like this and lived to tell the tale. Nappa swung his arm out deflecting Kyouteki's attacks and righted himself.
Kyouteki backed up and prepared to evade a round of intense attacks. He knew that now that Nappa had found himself attacked in such a way he would take it as a personal affront and his primitive notion of pride would compel him to attack with a mighty force in rage filled haste.
Once again Nappa acted true to Kyouteki's predictions. He vaulted several ki blasts at Kyouteki before launching himself at his nemesis. Kyouteki anticipated every blast and evaded them. As Nappa rushed at him he jumped into the air and as he expected Nappa didn't hesitate to follow him blinded by his anger.
Kyouteki simply repeated the technique he had used earlier sending Nappa once again hurtling to the ground below. Nappa landed in the same crater that he had created earlier and just like earlier Nappa felt a volley of attacks hitting him.
This was shameful. Nappa couldn't believe he had fallen for the same trap twice. He couldn't let this bastard get the best of him especially not when Vegeta and Raditsu were watching.
Nappa jumped out of the crater and using his Seiyajin speed moved directly under Kyouteki and let fly a ki blast of his own. Kyouteki barely dodged the attack.
Kyouteki knew that Nappa was not going to fall for his technique again. That was o.k. though since it granted him the advantage of the air. As long as he stayed up here Nappa wouldn't dare to come after him like he had before.
Nappa knew he was in a bind now. He had to think of something to get Kyouteki out of the air and on a level playing field. Nappa thought about it as he dodged the ki blasts being fired at him from above. Finally it came to him.
Nappa charged up a ki blast before making his way under Kyouteki and launching it. Kyouteki easily avoided it. Nappa didn't give up though. He sent a shower of blasts which were all dodged.
Kyouteki had become suspicious. He knew the Seiyajin was up to something but couldn't quit put his finger on it. As Kyouteki stared down at the grinning Seiyajin trying to figure out what he was up to a hot searing pain spread through his back.
Nappa's plan had worked out perfectly. He had sent the first blast out in an arc so that it would eventually fall back down. Then Nappa had used other ki blasts to distract and reposition Kyouteki into the path of the falling ball of ki.
When the ki blast hit Kyouteki he was sent spiraling into the earth. The next thing Kyouteki knew Nappa's foot was planted firmly on his back. Kyouteki's mind was racing. He was in a perilous position. He had underestimated Nappa's abilities at tactics.
Vegeta smirked. Now this was how a member of the Royal Guard fought. Nappa was finally living up to his title. Raditsu couldn't help but let his pride show at the turn of events. No one could beat a Seiyajin in a one on one battle.
Taiteki was miffed. He'd get that monkey for daring to put his unworthy boot on his twin. He'd give Kyouteki a little more time to save face. If he didn't turn things around soon Taiteki would go and save him. Although he couldn't care less about Okami, he did care about Kyouteki. They had a strong bond between them.
Nappa was quite pleased with himself. He put more pressure on Kyouteki until he heard a very satisfying crunch. That had to be a rib. Nappa chuckled to himself before charging up a ki blast. Enough was enough they still had one more adversary to deal with.
Kyouteki couldn't think. The pain was too severe. Kyouteki had never been in this much pain. Usually he would have out witted and killed his opponent before they could truly do him any harm. Today though he had made a fatal error in underestimating Nappa.
Taiteki knew what was coming next and knew he had to prevent it to save his brother. Taiteki let out a ki blast the exact second Nappa did. By the time it reached its target it was too late. Nappa had administered a fatal blow to Kyouteki.
Nappa had only enough time to turn and look in the direction of his comrades before Taiteki's ki blast went straight through his heart. Nappa was dead the moment his body hit the floor.
Taiteki rushed over to his brother. There was a huge hole going through Kyouteki's back to his chest. Taiteki knew then that his brother was dead. Taiteki's anger mounted to unimaginable heights. Taiteki turned towards Gohan.
If it hadn't been for his brother's obsession with that bastard half-bred monkey then he still would be alive. If that stupid abomination hadn't been around Kyouteki would have left all the fighting to him. Without even thinking about it Taiteki sent a ki blast rushing towards Gohan.
Author's Note: Hey mina! Whoa it has been a while. Shame on me for the lack of updates. Well I'll be mending that this summer. I plan on doing a lot of writing. Anyway hope you enjoy it. This chapter marks my first one on one battle I've ever written. I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. Oh well, Ja ne.
