That was it. It was all up to me. Saru was unresponsive to my healing, although I had done the best I could. Now the monster Osore was approaching me.

I uncapped my water pouch and summoned some water to my hand and formed it into my signature water whip. This didn't seem to faze Osore at all. He continued to walk towards me until he stopped a few yards away.

We had a stare down for a few seconds before I got angry and sent my water whip his way. He didn't even move and the water bounced off of his energy shield. He just smirked. I summoned some water out of the air and sent the stream Osore's way, but it did nothing.

With a burst of speed Osore flew at me, and before I could do anything he kicked my legs out from under me. I fell to the ground and was dazed for a few seconds before I was able to struggle to my feet. Then I got into a defensive posture, ready to fend off the attack I knew was coming.

To my surprise, nothing happened. In fact, I couldn't see Osore anywhere. All I could see was my friends scattered on the ground.

"It seems that you are far outclassed, young lady," a voice said above me. I looked up to see Osore floating a few feet above me. Although I had seen him do this before, the sight of him floating in the air messed with my head. This lapse in concentration cost me.

Osore wasn't floating above me, and I felt his presence in front of me. Then I felt his fist digging deep into my stomach. Next, I felt his elbow crash into my skull. Lastly I felt the ground come up to meet me. It was hard too.

I was barely able to look higher than Osore's boots, but he crouched down so that I could see his face. He had that same stupid smirk that I so despised. That smirk is what threw me over the edge.

I spun around and almost caught his legs, but he was too quick. Not to say he wasn't surprised, and I didn't give him a second to recover. I sent a wave of water crashing into my foe, and I send a few more to follow the first one. When I realized that it wasn't doing any good, I made a small ice pillar and used it to send ice disks at Osore.

I threw a disk at Osore, but I didn't take any time to see if it had hit its mark. I sent a few more disks in his direction, but had to stop after my ice pillar had disappeared. That was when I stopped to see the result of my attack.

I could see the disks scattered all over the ground, but Osore was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly I felt a pain in the back of my head and I fell to the ground.

I tried to get up, but something forced me back down. It only took me seconds to realize that it was Osore's foot. Somehow I could just feel that he was grinning.

"It looks like I win again," Osore smirked. "I've defeated all of your friends, and now no one can stop me. I don't need an army to conquer the planet anymore, I have proof that I am the strongest man alive!" I felt his foot leave my back, but when I tried to stand my head swam.

I was surprised that Osore didn't go on with his bragging about being super strong, but I really couldn't get my bearings. It felt like I had been hit with Appa.

Osore's POV

I stood above the water tribe girl ready to seal my victory. Suddenly, I felt another presence and looked around. Standing before me was the Saiyan I had killed earlier.

"How?" This didn't make sense. I tried to rack my brains for a way that someone could have survived a spear through the heart. As I looked at the Saiyan, I could not see the holes from the spear or the knife I had used. I could think of no way he could have survived. "You were dead!"

"Did you check my pulse?" he replied flippantly. This really rattled my chains, and I took a second to use my anger to boost my power before I flew at Saru.

I prepared to strike a blow that would wipe that stupid grin off of the Saiyan's face, but right when I was in striking distance, he stepped out of my way. He was fast, and I didn't have any time to even think as I flew past him. It took me a few seconds to refocus and I changed directions and flew straight at his back. I got to within inches of him and struck out with all I could. I never touched anything and went flying by.

This didn't make any sense. Before I could think about it any longer, I felt something connect with the energy on my back, then to my head. I turned around, but saw that Saru was in the same spot as when I had attacked him.

How had the Saiyan suddenly become so fast. His speed has increased from when I had fought him a few minutes ago. I also felt that it had taken more energy to block the Saiyan's attacks then it had before. How could he have gotten stronger and faster after I had basically killed him?

While I was still thinking this over, I could sense that the Saiyan was doing something. I turned to see him drawing energy for a beam. I began to form some of my energy to counteract the Saiyan's. He fired his energy at me, and I fired my energy at him. Our two beams connected at the middle, and that is where they were to stay.

"Don't you want to know how I survived?" he asked. I said nothing in reply. I was not going to play his little game. "Katara, she healed me," he continued. "Of course, I was pretty far gone, so it took me a little while, but I made a full recovery, as you can see."

"Do you want to know something interesting? Saiyans have a special ability. If we are almost killed, but survive, and we are able to make a full recovery, our power increases." To demonstrate this, he used more energy to push the spot where the beams met towards me. I tried to use more energy, but it seemed that I was powerless to stop him.

The beams continued to come nearer to me, and when they were only a few feet away, I realized what was going on. The Saiyan had just been toying with me. He had been just trying to wear me out. The energy needed to stop his beam had taken its toll, and when he had used more, I had little to counteract it with. I had been drained of a huge amount of my energy, and now I was unable to keep the beam away from me. I knew I had no way to escape. I was not fast enough to avoid the beam.

Saru's POV

I continued to use more of my energy, and the beam was close to connecting with Osore. "This is what you get for trying to conquer this planet. This is what you get for hurting my friends!" I then felt the beam connect with his energy shield, but it didn't hold for very long.

Osore began to scream as the energy connected with his body. All I could see was his shadow in my energy beam before he almost seemed to dissolve. When I finally felt no resistance, I stopped my attack.

Osore was nowhere to be seen. It was just as if he had dissolved. He was gone. It was over.

I'm so sorry this took so long to put up. I was sitting on this chapter for a while until i was further on the next one. The next chapter is going to be the last one, and i am almost done with it. I will be posting it soon. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and are looking forward to the next one.
