A/N: Hello to one and all! Espeon804 here! I bring you another chapter of this fanfic. Guess what? It'll have some action!
I was watching DBZ Kai yesterday. For some reason, I never get tired of watching the first fight between Vegetable and Carrot. Especially when Carrot beats the crap out of Vegetable with his Kiao ken times three.
I mean, Vegeta and Kakarot.
Well, his name is Goku.
Anyway, so far, I'm getting no reviews or comments, depending on what website you're reading this from, but I'm asking you that if you read it, please do comment. Your comments will be featured on the upcoming chapters. This chapter wil be longer than the previous one, so it'll take a long while until the chapter after this one will be posted. We'll see how it'll come through.
Oh yeah. I'm also working on a one-shot on a classic cartoon series that I like to watch now. I think you have a guess. I'll give you a hint. Look at my profile page and read my bio.
So let it begin!
Chapter 2: an awakening encounter!
That following morning, Hikari wakes up to the sound of birds announcing the start of a new day. She sits up on the couch, observing her surroundings. She almost forgot that yesterday was the last of her forest living life. Normally, she would sleep on a tree branch, but the bed is more desirable.
The house seems a lot brighter in the mornings it seems. She notices some things that she didn't pay much attention to. A brown tall shelf holds several trophies and certificates. Some listing things such as "Best dress" and "Best in Biology." Biology? Whatever that means. She even notices something orange folded on the shelf. This catches her interest, so she hops to her feet to get a closer look.
It's a uniform. Resting on top of it is a blue ribbon... Wait a second…
"That's the uniform of the Z-fighters isn't it?" She asks this question to no one. Talking to herself is a habit she picked up after living by herself in the wilderness for seven years.
Well, she's never entirely by herself if she counts the deer, rabbits and even Monkeys that she hangs around with. She first thought that since she possess a monkey-tail, she could communicate with them.
They understand her, but it doesn't work the same the other way around. But they do have tree climbing races, and they compete to see who can swing on trees with their tails the longest. Often she does this to see the monkeys pass out after hanging upside-down too long. She always wins anyway, but she can't say that she can't go through one round without feeling light-headed at least.
"I miss them." She sighs. But her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of her stomach growling. "Well, it looks like it's breakfast time!" She says this cheerfully, repeating the word "breakfast" as she shoots to her feet and makes her way towards the kitchen.
"And where do you think you're going?"
The muffled voice stops Hikari in her tracks. She turns around, spotting the angry face of Varity. It really isn't intimidating, especially with the fact that she has a blue stick in her mouth with white foam surrounding it. "There's no way that you could possibly be hungry now!" She growls. But the stick in her mouth is making it hard to understand. "You almost ate the house out yesterday!"
Hikari tries to understand, but she pushes it aside, pointing at Varity's mouth and taking note on what she sees. "Do you have rabies?"
"I have WHAT?"
"Well, I think you have rabies because there's foam coming out of your mouth!" The pre-teen explains. "Does that stick prevent you from biting people?"
Varity snatches the stick from her mouth. Apparently, the stick has bristles attached on the top. "It's toothpaste you idiot! It helps me clean my teeth, something you should do right now!" She hands her a strange paste with a toothbrush.
Hikari opens the toothpaste and sniffs it. It certainly smells good. She squeezes a sample on her finger and licks it instantly. It taste good too. She brings it towards her mouth, about to drink the paste...
"YOU DON'T EAT IT!" Varity shouts, snatching the toothpaste away. But she finally calms down, muttering quickly, "I forgot how much of a dork you are. You're clueless." She keeps an eye on her young friend who walks into the kitchen. "Take another step, and that tail of yours will receive another pulling."
Hikari stops immediately. "You're no fun. I'll just get my own food." She walks back into the living room, and digs into her sack of items.
"If you are planning to go into public, you have to wear something else. That wired outfit of yours will make people think you're crazy. Plus, your hair is a mess!"
The hybrid doesn't like the judgement. She pulls out a long sword in a case with a strap, causing her friend to yelp. She puts it on, allowing the weapon to rest against her back. "My outfit is what my father says that the Z-fighters wore all the time. Each one has a symbol that represents a person." She puts on the training weights that goes along with it. "This one can repel small attacks." She shoves her foot inside a boot, and tucks the pants sleeves inside, and ties a small rope around the boot to secure it.
Variety notices a large white circle with a strange black symbol on the back. "It reads 'restless'. It certainly describes you. I happen to own one too, a gift from my own parents... But I'm not into fighting. I would rather watch others do that."
Hikari takes a red ribbon, and uses it to tie her hair into a ponytail. She then slips on a hair and of the same color against the large tuff part of her hair. It didn't help much. The hair just rest on top of it.
"Don't you think that carrying a sword around isn't a good idea in public?"
She replies with a small laugh and says, "Don't worry about that! I'm just heading for the forest!" On that note, her tail exposes itself and swings side to side for valence as she crouches down. She then takes off into a sprint.
"So you're just going to leave?!" Varity shouts as the Saiyan disappears in the woods. "Oh well. It's better than her eating everything in my house." She notices Giru behind her. "Right Giru?"
The robot covers its head with one hand. "Hikari eats too much! Giru. Giru."
In the forest, Hikari dashes as far as she could. She suddenly makes a sharp turn and leaps into the air, landing on a tree branch. She recognizes this area well, mainly because this is where she spent her childhood for seven years. The apple tree nearby still has the marks she made with her sword. But, to her surprise, there are no apples in the trees at all, when yesterday, it was flooding with them!
Her tail swings violently, a signal of her anger. "Somebody stole my apples!" No one has even dared to go near that tree. She worked so hard to claim that as a part of her territory. She crouches down and makes a long leap, landing on the once Apple tree. Using her sense of smell, it is clear that the thief recently left. She climbs higher, and hears voices. She looks to investigate.
The first person she sees is a young teenage boy, slightly older than her. He wears a similar outfit that she wears, but the symbol reads "reckless". He stands next to a Human-sized rabbit with a red gown and sunglasses, next to a fairly short bald man with a similar uniform as the teenage boy, reading "thief." She listens to their conversation carefully.
"You must understand Mr. Carrot. These apples belongs to someone else!" The young teen tries to reason with the mammal. "Did you not see those markings on the tree?! It could belong to a bear! It won't be pleased when it comes back for a snack!"
The rabbit revealed to be "Mr. Carrot" just laughs. As he speaks, his voice is rather high. "Oh please. The owner of this tree was dumb enough to leave it in the first place!" He laughs as he picks up a apple from the basket full of them. "Finders keepers, losers weepers!" He tosses it towards her mouth.
There is no way that she'll just let this guy eat her apples! She quickly withdraws her sword from her back, and throws the weapon as hard as she can. Just before that fruit can fall into the theif's mouth, it stabs right through it, startling the three, taking the apple with it as it stabs into another tree.
"See?!" The young teen panics. "I told you!"
The rabbit loos around in fear. "Zero! Diennay! Get the basket and let's get outta here!"
Hilarious doesn't think so. She leaps from the tree, snatches the basket, and leaps back onto the tree that's been stabbed.
"What the-?" Mr. Carrot glares at the girl. "Who do you think you are?! Theses are my apples!"
"How dare you claim these as your own!" Hikari wraps her tail around the waist as the three exchange they look back at her, she adds, "that is my apple tree thieves!"
The situation is lightened when the trio starts to laugh. This only irritates the young warrior. The teen thief shouts, "what can a kid like you do? Just because you wear that uniform doesn't mean that you're tough!"
Hikari yanks her sword from the tree, and slides it back on its case. "You don't want to mess with me! My father trained me and taught me karate! I want to fight over this, but it seems like I got no choice!"
Once again, they laugh. They might as well become Hyenas at this rate. Mr. Carrot waves away her words. "Karate huh?" He repeats as if she's kidding. "If you honestly think that You know so much about martial arts, then I can't just ignore the fact." He looks at his companions. "Take care of that fool! She can't be that hard!"
"Certainly!" The bald man shouts. The two Humans springs into action. They try to attack, but Hikari simply dodged by jumping to the side, landing on the ground. "Don't be such a coward kid! Stay still so that I can finish you!" He runs to the girl, but she grasp his arm and tosses him aside with surprising strength and speed.
Zero decides to jump in immediately. When he gets into range, he throws a punch, by Hikari ducks, and side kicks his leg, forcing him to fall since his legs couldn't support the sudden blow.
"Fools!" Mr. Carrot snaps. "How are you letting a mere child throw you off like that?!"
Both of them recovers, and attempts to attack. Hikari disaster as before any of them could land a finger.
"What the-?!" The looks around to find her.
Hikari reappears in front of them. "Hello!" She knees both of them on their stomach, then she rapidly kicks them in a fast blur. Then she leaps once more, and locks her hand together, and slams her fists onto her foe's head. She then rams her head on them, sending them flying a couple feet.
"You imbeciles!" Mr. Carrot is literally hopping mad. "Don't go easy on her! The girl has proven her strength! I want you two dodo heads to give her everything you got, and not holding anything back, regardless if she's a child or not!"
The duo gets to their feet while rubbing their heads. "She's just a kid. Don't you think that'll kill her?" Diennay points out.
"Or, I can tell the whole world that you lost to a child!" The rabbit challenges, raising one eyebrow.
Zero and his partner just look at the young girl and shrugs. "Sorry kid. You might want to brace yourself." They both place their hands in a pushing position, and suddenly several energy blast shoots out.
"Whoa!" She did not expect to see that. She backs away quickly with the blast nearly exploding on her feet. She thought that only her parents know that attack! At least she's been trained for this.
Suddenly, Zero appears behind her by teleporting. Before she could act, he knees her back, sending her flying. He then appears in from of her and throws an uppercut, and she's flying up. Both does appears above her, slamming their feet on her head. She crashes into the ground.
This reminds her so much other training with her father. He knocked her out so many times that she lost count. Her mother toss her around everywhere. That is exactly how it feels know.
Only this time it's the real deal.
Through the blur of her vision, she notices a strange glow. Finally, it clears, and what she sees makes her yelp. First, she notices that they are about to launch a beam on her. Secondly...
They are hovering in the air! Since when could Humans fly?! Not unless they are members of the Z-fighters! That explains that uniform! They have similar fighting styles that her mother uses, who was a member as well. How do they not recognize her daughter?
"Time to end this!" Mr. Carrot demands.
Well, it's time to use one neat move she knows, and it should buy her time. "Okay mom." She mutters, "I'm about to borrow one move you know." She places her fingertips on her temples while she closes her eyes, keeping them shut tight. She then shouts; "SOLAR FLARE!"
A bright blinding light escapes from her body, temporarily blinding her opponents. Seeing the opportunity, she gets to her feet and makes a run for the basket. Since it's morning, the effect won't hold them off too long.
"You brat!" Diennay shouts, followed by a curse. "How did you learn that technique?! Who are you?!" He constantly rubs his eyes - still hovering in the air- and trying to recover. "When I find you, you'll regret doing that!"
"Don't let her get away!" Mr. Carrot orders. From the way he's covering his eyes, it looks like his sunglasses didn't help at all. That proves how bright the attack must be.
"Hikari!" That voice belongs to Varity! Hikari spots her hovering in the air with Giru. So she can fly too?! "What's going on over here?! I heard so many explosions and shouts that I had to check it out to see if you're okay!"
Giru starts to panic. "Danger! Danger! Hikari in danger! Giru! Giru!"
"There you are!" It sounds like they recovered! She turns around, finding all three flying towards her, and boy, do they look mad!
Hikari starts to panic worse than Giru. This is overwhelming! She backs away quickly, but she trips over a tree root and falls to the dirt. Her heart is suddenly pounding. She can hear the blood in her body boiling. Something inside if her just spiked.
Zero and Diennay suddenly stop in their tracks. Zero looks at his partner in question, "Did you feel that? Her energy just skyrocketed!"
"Then stop her before she gets the chance!" The rabbit demands. He joins in with the other two.
Varity is unable to stand in the sidelines any longer. "Stop!" She begins to protest, but they ignore her. "Diennay! Zero! Leave her alone! You have no idea what you're up against! She's not just a child!"
Everyone else lets out a surprised "What?"
Hikari knows that she's in danger. Her Saiyan instincts finally kicks away her Human one when her horrified expressions switches to aggression. She positions her hands over her head, resting them on top one another. "MASENKO...!" The moment she said that, her enemies stop in their tracks as yellow energy zaps and crackles on the palm of her hand. For a split second, white area reveals itself around her body and fades. She trust her arms forward. "HAAAAAA!" A huge yellow blast of energy shoots out from the Palm of her hands and slams into her opponents. Dirt flies everywhere on impact. She collapsed to the ground, exhausted. She can't believe it! She never thought that she would use that attack like that at all!
The dirt settles down, revealing the foes bruised, slightly bleeding, and surprised.
Zero is the first to speak. "Is it me, or- did that kid just used an attack that originally came from Piccolo?"
"Not only that." Diennay mumbles. "Solar Flare is an attack that was originally used by the legendary Z-fighter Tien. All those attacks are only taught to the Z-fighters only. This kid has on their uniform!"
Mr. Carrot takes off his sunglasses, revealing his light blue eyes. "Who are you kid?"
Hikari can't speak. She just dashes and hides behind Varity in case they decide to attack again.
Varity takes note on this, and glares at the attackers. "You could have a scared the girl to death!" She moves aside to reveal Hikari again. "Her name is Cabba, but she's better known as Hikari."
Diennay's expression changes to fright. "C-Cabba?!"
"Name rings a bell?" Mr. Carrot asks him.
The bald man slowly approaches Hikari, who once again hides behind Varity. "The way you fight... It's the way of the Z-fighters, but your fighting style and strategy looks just like This man's... Well, he's not really a man... But he's known as Zircon. He-"
"That's my dad!" Hikari suddenly blurts out, surprising everyone again. "Did you see him?!"
Zero's face turns pale. "H-he's your father?! Oh no, he's gonna kill me when he finds out that we harmed you!" He runs to his partner's side. "Eclipsky must be your mother then!"
Hearing that name makes her feel terrible. She has no idea how her mother died. She just woke up finding her dead.
Diennay picks up the basket of apples and hands them to her. "Sorry about that. Mr. Carrot is a very selfish guy. He doesn't care much about anyone." He reaches for her waist, and grabs her 'belt'.
"Dude." Zero says with a disgusted expression. "What are you doing?"
"Stop thinking like that Zero." Diennay growls, tugging the 'belt'. "I'm trying to figure something out." He tries harder, and it goes loose, but the 'belt' fights back, trying to stay around the waist. "What the-?" He gets a good grip on it, but it only results to Hikari yelping. He immediately lets go in concern. He looks up to her and asks, "Did I pinch-" he notices that the 'belt' started to glow orange.
The rabbit apparently knows what is about to happen. "Diennay, watch out!"
WHAM! Diennay is knocked into the air, and crashes into the ground.
"Are you alright?!" Varity calls as she runs over to him to assist him. "You must've frightened her!"
Diennay pulls himself up to a sitting position, with his eyes fixed on something. "Just like her father." He announces.
Everyone turns to the direction that he looks at. Zero and Mr. Carrot looks terrified when they spot something unusual among Humans. They all stare at her swinging tail, and now she wonders why they are afraid of it.
Diennay quickly gets to his feet while asking Varity. "So uh… Varity. Do strange things happen to Hikari?"
Mr. Carrot joins in quickly, noticing the confused look on her face. "You know, like uh… does she act, I don't know, erm… funny when she sees a full moon or something like that?!"
She's completely clueless. "What are you talking about? A full moon? I just met her yesterday." Everyone else just sighs but, they quickly gasp when she adds, "What's the big deal about the moon anyway?"
"Just forget about it!" Mr. Carrot replies.
Hikari wants to know more about this. They seem to be just as concerned about it as her parents were. "A full moon?" She repeats the word with a lot of guilt, and it catches their attention. "My parents always had told me to never look at a full moon. They said that if I do, I fall asleep for a very long time. Plus, during that time of the month, a huge gorilla monster comes out in a rampage. Five years ago, it destroyed my house, pulled my tail out, chased away my father and killed my mother…"
Everyone just stares at her. Why are they so frightened about her tail?
Diennay on the other hand, clenches his fist. 'This girl here… If we don't get rid of her tail, she's trouble!' he thought, glancing at the thing. 'it's not that I hate her. She's a cool kid and all, but… like father like daughter…. Zircon was trouble when he saw a full moon!'
*Diennay's flashback*
Diennay, Mr. Carrot, Eclipsky, and Zircon sat on the table with one-year-old Zero, having a feast under the stars.
"To celebrate Mrs. Eclipsky, and her child that is soon to come!" Mr. Carrot announced, raising a carrot into the air as everyone cheered.
Diennay looked at Zircon, who as usual, shows no emotion except a small frown, and wasn't joining in the cheering. "Not celebrating?"
"I am." Zircon replied, crossing his arms. "In my own way. I don't smile." That's pretty obvious.
"You haven't announced anything about your unborn child yet." Diennay pointed out.
The warrior only chuckles, showing a bit of his good side. Normally he would snap because of the fact that he's so easily annoyed, but that night was one of the few nights that he seemed rather content than he normally was. "Impatient as usual. i was just about to do that." He stood up, unwrapping his tail from his waist and banged it against his chair to gather everyone's attention. "Everyone! I have an announcement!" Immediately, everyone became quiet. he has that commanding voice, something that he gets since he's been a warrior since the day he was born.
He earned this respect as everyone watched him walk over to his wife. He glances at her swollen belly, and he continues, "We recently found out that…" He stopped and waited.
"The baby is a girl!" She finished. Her cheerful attitude almost made Zircon roll his eyes. Diennay couldn't blame him. He's the serious type.
Then came the small interview.
"So what are you two planning to name her?" Diennay asked, eager to know what to call his future student. "Are you giving her some wacky name like Zircon's real name? I find "Nrock" rather odd!"
Mr. Carrot laughed, and Zicon huffed. "Why does your side of the family tend to name their children after vegetables? You name is almost literally "corn" spelled backwards!"
"Sh-shut up Earthling!" The warrior snapped, and it startled everyone. "Eclipsky was well aware of that. She decided to give her a nickname, "Hikari" but her real name will be "Cabba"."
"Which is taken from the word "cabbage" right?" Mr. Carrot blurted out, and he laughed hard, followed by a slap on his knees. "She'll have a tail like you right?!" But his laughter was stopped when Zircon shouted "That's it!" and marched his way towards him. "You're tonight's dinner!"
"It's unlikely that your daughter will have a tail as soon as she's born." The voice saved Mr. Carrot from his beating. Everyone turned around, finding a green old man with two antennae, alongside a pitch-black man with egyptian clothing.
"Hey! Dende and Mr. Popo!" Diennay called. "Why don't you join the party? We have lots of good things here!"
Zircon however, didn't looked so pleased. He stood straight up as his tail swung, a signal of his irritation. "then if they stay, who's looking after the lookout?"
"We are only staying for a short time if you don't mind." dende explained.
"I do." Zircon spat.
"Zircon!" Eclispky gasped at his rude behavior.
"I'm not going to be held responsible if something happened to the lookout." He sat back down on his chair, grumbling something under his breathe, which can't be understood.
"Um… continue Dende." Diennay said.
Dende noded. "To own her tail is a recessive trait when the child has more Human heritage. But since she a little under half of that, it is likely for her to have one. We must cut it off permanently as soon as she's born."
"Why?" mr. Carrot asked, just as confused as everyone else, except Zircon, whose eyes now dart back to the Namekian's direction. "I don't see what's wrong with Zircon's tail. It's like a weapon. Sure… it is his only weak spot but…"
Mr. Popo interrupted. "Zircon, the full moon is out tonight." His tone sounded serious, no one knew why, but Zircon and his wife knew exactly what was going on.
"Everyone inside." Zircon firmly ordered. A hint of fear was heard in his voice. Nobody moved a muscle. "NOW!"
They immediately follow the demand, cleaning after themselves and carrying trash into the house. Diennay walked over to his friend, confused. "Dende said "Human heritage" affects your daughter's chances of growing a tail. I find it strange on why he pointed that out. She is a human. What does the full moon have to do with anything?"
Zircon looked around for a quick moment, and made sure that no one was around to hear what he was about to say. "I guess that you've been wondering why a Human would have a tail of a monkey hm? You think I'm not normal."
"I wasn't going to say that." Diennay explained. "But the part about you owning a tail is true. No person is ever born with a tail."
"That's the point." Zircon growls. "I'm not a monkey, I'm not a person, nor a man, not even a Human."
"What?" Diennay looks at him strangely. "But… you look just like one. Tell me you're joking. You can't fool me."
"You stupid Earthling! Do you know anything about the Saiyan race?! Because that's who I am! A Saiyan!"
Diennay almost choked on his words. "What?! You're telling me that you are a species of those ruthless monsters?!"
"Keep your voice down!" The Saiyan demanded. "Look, my wife is a descendant from one too, did you forget? The one you call "Goku"? Dende and mr. Popo already knew this." He glanced at his tail. "Every pure-blooded Saiyan has a tail, and their tail is the key to unlocking their true power…" he swallowed, and something told Diennay that it was done on purpose. He hesitated to finish. "...it...requires looking at the full moon."
"What's wrong with that?" Diennay was curious that night. He wanted to know why his friend seems to dislike the moon phase so much. Werewolf perhaps? Nonsense. Such things don't exist. That is unless you bring them to existence with the Dragon Balls that is.
Zircon glanced at him. Worn out from the stress he recently received, he explains in a low tone. "I am a low-class warrior. I received no training for it. why even bother explaining? Humans don't understand how we operate." He made his way for the house. "Unless you want things to get big and ugly, I highly recommend you come inside. I'm drawn to the light."
"And you're absolutely correct Nrock." Great, another voice.
Zircon and Diennay looked up where the voice was coming from, and there hovers a Human-sized reptile wearing some strange armor that Zircon use to wear. The Saiyan seemed to recognize him immediately. especially with that shocked expression that was on his face. "Reptillian! How on Earth did you find your way here?!"
The lizzard only laughed. "I'm here to help you out Nrock. You still have a mission to do, but I know how stubborn you are. In other words, I'll make you destroy this weakling planet that you now call home!" He rose his first and clenched it hard.
"What is he talking about?" Diennay wondered out loud as he got into a battle stance. "And what is he doing?"
"I don't know, but something tells me it won't be a drop by." Zircon growled. "Does the idiot honestly think he can force me to destroy this planet?" But he pauses, as if he's getting an idea. The horrified expression grew on his face. "Unless he's-"
Reptillan threw a punch in the ai which caused a strong wind to shoot into the sky, forced the clouds apart, and revealed the full moon.
Zircon fell right into the trap. His eyes were locked on the vast and bright moon. His tail started to beat in a rhythm. "D-Diennay." He called his friend, his voice was full of fear. "Get everyone out of here before it's too la-" He was suddenly unable to speak as his eyes changed from black to a glowing red…
"Zircon!" Diennay shouted, shaking his friend. "What's going on?! What's happening to you?!" But his shouts are unheard by his friend's ears, and he figured out why. He can hear Zircon's own heartbeat growling louder and faster in a strange 'Bump-ba-Bump' pattern. What disturbed him even more was the fact that Zircon's body started to twitch and throb.
Something bad was definitely happening.
"Zircon!" He called him again, but no hope. "C'mon! Snap out of it!" He felt helpless. All he could do was search the sky for that blasted lizard, but he was gone. "YOU COWARD!"
Everyone ran outside, puzzled on what was going on.
He then remembered the warning zircon gave him. "No! Stay away from him! Some lizard guy tricked him into looking at the moon! I-I have no clue on what's happening here!"
Everyone gasped when Zircon's body started to buff up so much, his clothing started to rip away.
"He's transforming!" Dende warned. "We have to stop this before it's too late!" He glares at Diennay. "Get his tail! That is what's causing the metamorphosis!"
Transformation? Metamorphosis? Diennay did not hesitate. he reached for his tail, but a powerful shockwave sent him and everyone flying back. Now where did that come from?! He got to his feet. He didn't want to admit it. "It's too late!" He braces himself for whatever will become of his friend.
Zircon's stance is what you expect from a transforming being. Legs and arms bent. They heard growls that escaped from his throat that grew slowly deeper. His teeth were bared, and it slowly grew into sharp fangs. His entire eyes became bloody red. His tail swung violently. Loud ripping sound came from what remained as his clothes as he grew in size, and black started to cover his body. His became the shape of a gorilla with a long snout. His feet tore from his shoes, looking like a hand. Black sharp claws replaced all of his nails. His tail color changed from brown to black. He let out an angry roar as the transformation ended, now a 45 foot tall gorilla-ape like monster!
"Unless you want things to get big and ugly, I highly recommend you come inside." The words Zircon said to him moments before the reptile appeared was no joke. He was serious.
And things gotten big and ugly alright.
"Let's get outta here!" Mr. Carrot took off hopping in all fours, a never looked back.
"He transformed into the Great Ape!" Eclispky announced. "If he were properly trained, he would be in complete control of his instincts!"
The Great Ape slammed his fist into the house, then a tree… he became a complete animal, destroying everything in his path.
Diennay shot himself into the air to fly. Dende joined in. "Aim for the tail! If we cut it off, he'll be back to normal right?" Diennay's question is answered with a nod. So the Human flew to his friend. "Sorry!" he apologizes before he kicked the monster's forehead, causing it to roar in pain. it started to shoot beams randomly from its mouth. not much help at all. "I only made him more enraged than he already is!"
"I'll distract him!" Dende announced. He flew around the ape, avoiding its attempts to swat him like a fly.
Diennay rose one hand into the air, and shouted, "KIENZEN!" yellow energy traveled from his arm to his hand, and it turns itself into a deadly disk. He launched it towards his tail. "Gotcha!"
Great Ape zircon turned around, and noticed the attack. He launched a beam from his mouth, destroying the attack.
Diennay became speechless. "h-he destroyed my Destructo Disk!" He yelped when he saw a huge arm coming his way. It knocked him off the air.
Dende tried to help his friend out, but the monster grabbed the Namekian and started to crush him. he yells in agony.
Diennay felt helpless. "even my DNA transformations won't work at this rate!" He got to his feet weakly and shouted. "ZIRCON!"
The Great Ape turned his attention to the Human with the namekian in his hands.
"STOP! LET HIM GO!"
The monster growled in confusion, as if he was trying to understand what he was saying.
"NOW! ZIRCON!"
The monster huffed, releasing Dende, allowing him to drop to the ground. He glared at the Human, confused. it even looked as if it tried to speak.
However, Eclipsky's voice broke the silence. "OVERGROW!" The palm of her hand gathered green energy. She launched it while shouting; "SALU-TATION!" The huge green blast slammed into Zircon's tail and blasted it off instantly.
The Great Ape roared in pain, and it started to shrink. The fur disappeared, the snout reduced to a nose… the Human features returned. Finally, Zircon's back to normal. he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Somebody throw a towel on him to cover him up." Eclipsky ordered, catching her breath. "We are so lucky to be alive."
*End of Diennay's flashback*
'We almost died.' His thoughts continues. 'For some reason, my words reached his head. He probably had to fight with his instincts.'
Hikari looks at everyone strangely. She has a feeling that something happened to them before that makes them fear her tail.
A/N: Finally finish! Next chapter coming soon!
To be continued to chapter 3!
