The battles rage on as the arc reaches it's climax!
"You! You're one of Coola's people aren't cha?" Ruga shouted to the poised Jelid as the Frost Demon simply stared the bandit down.
"And if I am?" Jelid asked with a slight chuckle.
"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL OF COOLA'S KIND!" Ruga yelled as rushed Jelid completely forgetting about Majin Panchi who was ready to attack until his teammate signaled to stand down. The largest bandit landed a gigantic punch onto the Frost Demon's face but Jelid remained unfazed by the attack as he countered with a elegant kick to Ruga's gut causing to the spit up blood and crash into the nearby mountainside.
"Never compare me to trash like Cooler again" Jelid said as he lifted the unconscious Ruga from mountain rubble and tossed him to Panchi as the teammates flew back towards Serori and the other patrollers.
"ARRRGH!" yelled Koruto as Kordell continued to pummel him silly as the young Saiyan continued to taught him. The knife-wielding bandit again attempted to slash but was quickly overpowered again by the confident Saiyan. Knowing how outclassed he was Koruto had decided to use his trumpcard, the bandit pulled a small metallic patch from his utility belt and thrusted it into his heart. From the wound in his chest a metallic substance began spreading throughout the bandit's body covering it in gray armor.
"Prepare to die" Koruto said in a distorted voice as he rushed Kordell with incredible speed grabbing the young Saiyan by his face and crashed it through buildings. Kordell smiled at Koruto's increase in power as the confident fighter stood up and rushed the bandit with a flurry of punches which were returned to Kordell as both fighters fought with equal power.
"He's gotten too confident" Miriku said to Poteto as youngest and oldest of Team Hibiki began to worry for the overconfident Saiyan as the advantage shifted to Koruto's side. The bandit continued his offense as a sinster purple aura arose from his body while Kordell landed on top of opposite building. "Your end nears Earthling!" Koruto laughed as his armor began glitching between visible and invisible before suddenly disappearing into the air. "I'm no Earthling scum" Koruto said as he panted just before he was struck with a purple Ki blast that paralyzed him. "I can't move!" yelled Kordell out of frustration as Koruto became visible again, the bandit slowly walked towards Saiyan and began to pummel him into a bloody pulp, quickly pulling his knife out again. "Time to die" Koruto laughed as the knife inched closer to Kordell's throat.
"Not if I can help it!" Poteto yelled as he kicked Koruto away and followed suit, Miriku quickly stepped in to aid Kordell.
"I have enough people to take care of already, I don't need you on that list as well" Miriku complained as Kordell smirked at her complaining. "Sorry" he said with a quiet chuckle as Miriku gave him a senzu bean which quickly revived him. "Now as your punishment, go stay with Team Leader Hibiki" Miriku ordered as Kordell relucantly followed her orders. Meanwhile Poteto continued his fight with Koruto as the bandit once again turned invisible.
"I can't afford to prolong this fight!" Poteto yelled out loud as he blocked Koruto's incoming strikes at the last possible second, the older Saiyan tried to counter in vain as he was cut on the chest. "Damn" Poteto responded as Koruto attempted end the fight with a stab to the chest but was immediately grabbed by the large Saiyan as both ended up in power struggle. "Time to go!" Miriku said as she dashed towards Poteto and Koruto, as Poteto saw her in the distance the Saiyan kicked the now visible Koruto in the chest while Miriku leapt high into the air. "It's over for you" said Poteto as Miriku placed her hands together as a intense, blue energy sphere formed in her palms.
"Kamehame-HA!" Miriku quickly yelled as her Kamehameha sphere raced towards Koruto at sound-breaking speeds as it splattered Koruto destroying his armor and leaving the bandit unconscious on the ground. Miriku fell from the air in exhaustion as Kordell caught her mid-drop along with Team Leader Hibiki who gave the team one of signature thumbs up with pride as approval of his team's success. "So that was Sonic Kamehameha?" Kordell asked with interest, "I didn't name it but yeah it was" answered Miriku in irritation as she tried to rest as the team laughed together.
"Time to die" said the masked bandit known as Derinja as he stood alone before Lupin, Kari, Nagato, and their Team Leader Sammit.
"Is that so? Go get em' kids!" Sammit yelled as he point forward towards Derinja. His trio lowered their eyes and raised their eyebrows as Sammit continued pointing until finally realizing his team wasn't moving. "Uh...what's wrong?" he nervously asked his team as the trio continued glaring at him. "You had no intention on treating us to a buffet...didn't you?" Kari asked as Sammit froze in shock at their statement "Busted" he thought to himself as Derinja waited patiently for the team. "Okay...I can't afford a buffet, BUT I'll treat you all to ice cream if you fight!" Sammit said as his trio looked at one another and shrugged before rushing Derinja.
"Howling Blaster!" yelled Lupin as a fiery blue sphere launched at Derinja who simply remained still. The blast attack landed as it crashed onto Derinja but the remnants of the Ki left over was absorbed into Derinja and launched a counter Howling Blaster towards Kari. "Demon Fang!" Nagato said as he sliced Derinja's attack in two, the young boy looked in disappointment at Kari as she stood still "next time dodge damn it" he said before rushing Derinja for hand to hand combat.
Percel, Babz, Lyric, and Maxim all surrounded Riboruba as the leader bandit raised his lance in defense against the team. Meanwhile Rosuko was surrounded by Rusto's team as Alf-do, Ren, and Sheru inched closer to the female bandit, "Stay back!" Rosuko demanded as she placed her right hand over her heart.
"Bounty Hunter Rosuko, you and the Oihagi Gang are under arrest by Time Patrol & The Galactic Patrol please surrender quietly" declared Rusto.
"Stay away! Or I'll activate the bomb within my chest! It has enough power to annihilate anything within 1000 km of it's radius. That means all of you and this gorram city" Rosuko threatened as she gripped her chest.
"Surely you wouldn't take that risk?" Rusto asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Our job has been completed, it's a measure I'm willing to take" Riboruba said with a stone face and dead eyes as he continued to hold his ground against Time Patrol.
