Author's Note: sorry about the wait, I've been wondering what to do next, or rather how to do it, but I think I got it now so let's see what happens.
Chapter 5: Graveyard Bash
Pissed off did not describe the young saiyan's mood, he waited until he made it back to the inn with Kouta and Nyuu, and then insisted on waiting for Yuka so he wouldn't have to bother telling the story twice.
After Yuka finished trying to kill Kouta for walking in on him removing Nyuu's wet clothes and taking it out of context, they were all anxious to hear Krae'Nakh's story.
"Well I dealt with those punks easily enough but prior to my arrival, they had set off a defensive mechanism in your stupid friend." Krae'Nakh said, indicating Nyuu and angering Kouta.
"What does that mean?" Yuka asked before Kouta snapped at the saiyan.
"Well I've pretty much gathered she's not the same species as you guys, but I didn't know how different until she transformed.
I've heard about species that have more than one body, but Nyuu has more than one MIND and the other one tried to kill me. Guess she thought I was the one who attacked her or something."
This news had stunned the 2 cousins, they never would have thought that Nyuu could have been dangerous.
"2 minds... you mean like... split personality disorder?" Kouta asked Krae'Nakh who nodded.
They spent a long time in shock, but snapped out of it when the halls of the inn were filled with a resounding crash.
Kouta and Yuka ran to see what had happened and Krae'Nakh followed out of curiosity.
They found Nyuu on the floor, she had slipped while scrubbing the floors.
While the cousins stood there wondering if she was all right, she began to rise on her own.
BEE DEE DEEP! ! ! Krae'Nakh saw her power level jump to 216 and realized she had transfomed.
She turned and launched her vectors at the 2 cousins, but before she had a chance to halt the attack as she would have, Krae'Nakh leaped between the cousins and his new rival at saiyan speeds and kicked the vectors away.
The startled cousins had no idea how close they came to death, but were given a hint in the form of the damage the redirected vectors inflicted on the walls.
The saiyan and the earthlings both looked at the girl who had once been Nyuu, and she looked back in equal shock.
"Kouta?" the girl half whispered, surprising the boy.
"D-Do you remember me Nyuu?" The girl looked confused at the mention of that name.
Only Krae'Nakh had even a vague idea what was happening. "She transformed into her killer state, but it's possible she retains some memories of her time as that idiot, she just didn't recognize me because I'm not as friendly towards her as you are."
Ever since he opened his mouth, the horned girl locked eyes with Krae'Nakh, and even the passive cousins could read her bloodlust.
She looked between the saiyan and Kouta, and only Krae'Nakh knew why.
"Heh, I get it. As much as you wanna kill me, you don't wanna risk hurting this punk." Krae'Nakh smirked and the girl's glare intensified.
"Ahhahahaha, well if you're that worried about it, how about we take it outside." The girl's glare was now replaced with a look of shock.
"Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not being nice to you, I just don't want you hiding behind excuses like distractions, I wanna beat you into a bloody paste and I want you to know that there isn't a single variable that, if changed to your benefit, would allow you to beat me."
The girl's glare returned as she nodded in understanding.
"Whoa whoa wait a minute. " Yuka spoke up. "There's no need for violence, let's just calm down and talk about thi-"
She stepped in between them and the girl grabbed her with a vector and shoved her into a wall, dangling off her feet.
" Do not mistake me for that stupid bitch Nyuu. I WILL kill you." and with that, Yuka was slung to the back end of the hall, and Kouta ran to make sure she was okay.
"Ah-hah! I knew I wasn't the only one who hated that moron, I like the cut of your gem, What's your name, anyway?" Krae'Nakh asked with a smile on his face.
"Lucy" The girl answered with a blank expression.
"I'm Krae'Nakh, destroyer of worlds, bringer of death, and wrecker of your shit. Nice to beat you." The saiyan replied with all the arrogance of his people.
As the the two rivals stepped out of the inn, looking for a nice place to kill each other.
A young girl, seeming 13 years old, with a dog by her side and an umbrella in her hands walked up to the duo.
"Um, excuse me." the girl said meekly.
"I-I found this umbrella on the beach and it seems to belong to this inn and-"
Before she had the chance to finish, Krae'Nakh put his hand up and said. "The nice ones are inside, we're busy, now go away."
The girl was taken aback by the saiyan's rude behavior, but still replied politely.
"Um, th-thank you very much, I-I'm sorry to bother you." With that and a bow, the girl jogged past the two rivals, who proceeded towards a nearby graveyard.
The two walked with evil in their minds. Krae'Nakh led with bloodlust, and Lucy followed with hatred.
They were almost to their destination when Krae'Nakh rounded a corner and was confronted by two middle-aged earthlings.
"Excuse me young man, we are police investigators, and we are wondering if you can help us find someone, tell me, have you seen this girl."
Krae'Nakh never bothered to look at the photo the man had shown him. "I'm busy, now leave me alone."
At this, the other, younger investigator showed his inexperience. "Listen you little brat, if you don't help us in any way you can, you're going find yourself in a LOT of trouble. Now have you seen her or not!?"
The older officer was about to reel in his more aggressive junior, but never got the chance as Krae'Nakh, feeling more than a little irritated, threw a ki blast straight through the fool's chest.
He turned to examine his work and noticed the picture.
Smiling he turned to the direction of the older investigator, who had drawn a gun on the saiyan, and addressed someone behind him.
"Friends of yours?" Before the old man could turn to see who was behind him, a cynical voice replied in a half whisper. "I don't have any friends."
The investigator completed his turn about and saw the diclonius he had been looking for.
He didn't have time to react before Lucy beheaded him.
The two rivals stood in the middle of a graveyard, their gazes locked.
"So, ya pick out a good spot yet?" The saiyan asked his rival, inquiring as to where in the graveyard she would like to be buried.
Lucy's silent answer was to launch herself at the saiyan, beginning the battle.
she shot her vectors at his midsection, his head, and aimed the other 2 high and low so if he jumped or ducked, he would still be caught.
The saiyan leaped backwards. Lucy leaped forward and as her vectors were already outstretched, she turned them inward and stabbed at her quarry.
Krae'Nakh leaped into the narrow opening between the vectors and punched Lucy square in the stomach.
As Lucy reeled from Krae'Nakh's attack, her vectors dissappeared, and Krae'Nakh took the opportunity to spin kick her in the chest and send her flying.
He launched himself past her as she flew, and waited at her point of impact, and then snap kicked her skyward.
He blasted off like a rocket, and again flew straight past her.
When she caught up to him, he hit her in the back with duel hammer fist, sending back down to earth, but she never made it as the saiyan once shot past her, landed, and spin kicked her on the other side of her chest, and she finally landed right where she was standing when the fight began.
When Lucy recovered the strength needed to stand up, she saw Krae'Nakh standing in his starting point with smirk on his face.
"Hmph, back to square one rookie, hehe." Lucy took in her situation while the saiyan stood there waiting for her next move.
His intial assault had been focused entirely on her body.
The first kick struck the right side of rib cage, the next had been right between her breasts, and she thought it cracked her sternum. (that might not be what I think it is.)
The hammer fist was right on her spine, and the last kick had been on the left side of her ribcage, opposite the first.
Lucy knew he was avoiding her head because he didn't want to turn her back into that stupid one, but DAMN, it was hard to breathe.
"I'm waiting... what's the holdup, don't tell me you're scared." The saiyan had hit the nail right on the head, Lucy was scared, but she wasn't going let him know that, that only made things worse.
"Shut up, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to catch you so I can tear you apart." Lucy growled towards the arrogant saiyan.
"Oh, well if I'm going too fast for you, I'll just slow down a bit." And with that the boy lept forward at speeds that Lucy could follow.
she launched a vector to intercept him. He dodged. She launched another, and he blocked it.
From there, the two warriors were locked in a skirmish, the diclonius whipping her vectors like lacerated tentacles, and the saiyan keeping pace with punches and kicks.
Lucy couldn't believe how powerful he was, she thought all she had to do was catch him and she would win, but he was deflecting her vectors the same way she deflected bullets.
Bullets, that's it. Lucy thought as she remembered how Nyuu had been born.
She broke away from the skirmish and addressed the saiyan. "Hey, you said your name was Krae'Nakh right."
"Yeah, what's up, if you wanna beg for mercy, the answer is no." The saiyan replied with his arms crossed.
"Actually, I wanna manipulate you." Lucy stated the truth, hoping that her plan would work.
"Oh, and how's that." The saiyan asked, curious about Lucy's plot.
"Well you seen pretty confident that I can't hurt you, so if you are willing to slow down for me, would you be willing... to give me free shot?"
"GYAHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY GOD, YOU'RE REALLY THAT DESPERATE! AHHAHAHAHA!! OH THIS IS TOO MUCH!" The saiyan laughed so hard, he collapsed and rolled along the ground.
Lucy considered attacking him, but if he dodged, it would all be over. "So, wadaya say?" The girl asked the saiyan as he got back to his feet, a hand on his knee and a tear in his eye.
"All right, I'll give you a free shot, but it'll your last chance, if you fail to kill me with this attack, I'll erase you completely." The saiyan replied with a sadistic smile. And with that, he turned his back to his rival and put his hands on the back of his head.
Lucy swallowed hard as she hoped this worked, and she put her vectors in front of her and stacked them on top of each other, causing them to merge into one super-vector.
Lucy drew it back like an ax and swung. The vector struck the saiyan across the middle of his right hand side and... sent him flying.
Lucy was absolutely stunned that he wasn't cut in half by that attack, and even more so when he righted himself in midair and landed on his feet.
Lucy just stood there with her mouth agape , the saiyan had only suffered a crack in his armor and a slight scratch that barely trickled blood.
"A valiant effort, all for naught, though if it's any consolation, if you had aimed for my neck, you could've slashed my throat open. So that's ONE variable that would've let you win." Krae'Nakh said, referring to what he had told her at the inn.
"And since you showed me your best shot, it's only fair that I show you mi-" BEE DEE DEEP! ! ! As Krae'Nakh's scouter went off, Lucy felt the presence of another diclonius.
Author's note: That's the chapter, part two is coming soon, but for now, I have received some criticism that makes sense so I'm going to go back and work on that. And yes, I know Mayu and the dirty cops should've been introduced sooner but by the time I realized I skipped them I was too far into the story to make edition, so I took advantage of my mistake, wrote it out that Nyuu went murder machine sooner than she should've, allowing her and Krae'Nakh to square off one on one before Nana shows up. I decided to change the second story votes so your new choices are: an SAO fanfic where Kirito plays Dragon Ball Heroes (the manga version with Beat, Note, and Frost) A straight Elfen Lied fanfic that shows Lucy dying at the end of the anime and shows my personal opinion of what the after life would be like for her, and I'm still keeping the Dragon Ball Z fanfic where Bardock defeated Frieza featuring Krae'Nakh reimagined as a child prodegy with a power level over 4,000. Cast your vote in the comments and feel free to reread in order to see what changes I've made.
