Chapter 23

Codemaster Ray? Pt 1

Ray and Justin were sparring on his rooftop to get ready for the upcoming battles. "Faster!" Ray commanded as he sped up his assault, but Justin couldn't keep up and fell to the ground. "You know I'm not as fast as you are." Justin complained as he sat up. "But that's why we're sparring. How would you get faster if you stayed at the same speed?" Ray explained as he helped him up. "You're right." "Yeah I am! How do you think I got this powerful?" Ray gloated as he flexed his biceps. "Yeah Yeah... Let's start up again!"

They continued to spar when his gauntlet began to ring. "Ray! The League is attacking Pac Man! Get down there and put a stop to it!" Mr. Litwak's voice blared through Ray's gauntlet as they teleported to the scene of the crime. When they arrived, they saw a big blue koopa with a spiked shell, flowing orange hair and a patch over its heart. "This should be easy. Codemaster! I'm gonna wreck it!" "Codemaster! Sonic Boom!" They donned their armor and charged the baddie.

Ray went for the slash to the face, but nothing happened. Justin shot arrows at his back, but they bounced off like rubber bands. "What's going on? I can't even faze this jerk!" Ray barked as he slashed him repeatedly in the chest. "Nothing..." the creature sneered as he tossed Ray into a wall and smashed it. "Ray sempai!" Justin yelled as he shot arrows to cover Ray as he ran over to him. "Are you okay?" "I... He... Nothing... I didn't even faze him... He swatted me like a fly..." Ray blabbered as he slowly stood up. He held his sword and charged the behemoth, but was picked up and thrown into the air. "You're the big bad Codemaster Ray I heard about?! I guess you're just all talk." the monster gloated as he headbutted Ray into another wall and disengaged his armor. "I've got what I came for. No one can stop the power of Tubba Blubba! Be seeing you hasbeen." the beast mocked as he held up the Staff of Illusions and disappeared into thin air.

"Ray? What happened?" Ralph inquired as he stared at a blank-faced Ray. "I think he's broken. He hasn't said anything since that guy disappeared. That guy we fought was like indestructible." Justin explained as he sat on the recliner. "I see... Well there's only one thing to do." Ralph thought to himself as he began to make out with Ray on the loveseat. Ray snapped out of his trance and began to kiss back. "Thanks Ralphy, but I'm still kind of shaken up." Ray explained as he broke the kiss. "Ok... Let's go out and train." Ralph suggested as he pulled Ray out the door.

Ray and Ralph began to spar on the lawn, but Ray was only at about 20% of his normal strength so Ralph mopped the floor with him. "Ray? Why are you holding back? You're much faster than that." Ralph inquired as he picked up his boyfriend. "I'm not really sure. I can't access my full power anymore." Ray explained as he sat back on the grass. "It looks like I have to take you to my old training spot." Justin butted in as he pressed some buttons on his gauntlet and teleported Ray and himself to a giant floating island in the sky.

"Justin! Long time no see." a green martian looking guy shouted as he ran over. "Dende! How's my favorite Namekian?" Justin responded as he hugged the guardian. "So what am I? Chopped liver?" a similar alien jested as he floated down. "Piccolo. You know you're my favorite sparring partner. You taught me how to dodge." "Mhmm... now who's the drip?" "This is my new sempai, Codemaster Ray. He needs a reboot of his skills." Justin explained as Ray drifted off into space. "Let me guess... He met an enemy he couldn't even faze and now he needs to start from scratch." Piccolo guessed as he walked around Ray and checked his power level. "Exactly! Just like Vegeta and Andriod 18." "He doesn't like to talk about that. Now let's see. His power level is... GOKU! VEGETA! You guys need to see this!" Piccolo barked as two seemingly normal yet buff adults appeared behind him looking pretty shocked.

"What was that surge of power just a second ago? That wasn't Saiyan!" Vegeta barked as he grabbed Piccolo's shoulders. "No... It was him." Piccolo enlightened as he pointed at Ray. "What?! But he's human! That power rivals Kakarot's!" "Well he needs to be retrained. Do you guys want to help me out?" Justin inquired as he opened a door at the end of a hallway lined with marble columns. "In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber? I've got nothing better to do." Goku replied as he walked into the door. "I'll go since Kakarot's going. If this guy's our last hope to defeat the League then why not?" Vegeta complied as he followed Goku in. "Let's go!" Piccolo barked as he grabbed Ray and tossed him through the door. "You guys need ot get him to his Beta Master Mode as soon as possible. Shadow Prince power is the key. I'll be back tomorrow to pick him up." Justin explained as he teleported away. "Hopefully this isn't too hard." Piccolo thought as he entered the chamber and closed the door behind him.

"Wait! NO!" Ray spat back as he fell into a white room with a wide expanse of whiteness in the distance. "We'll be in here for a year. Better break your fear now because we don't hold back." Piccolo explained as he picked Ray up and sat him in a chair. "What the hell?! A year?! I've got to protect the arcade! And I need to do stuff..." Ray tried to speak, but then got quiet as he saw a flashback of his fight with the unnamed monster. "Okay... Where do we start?" Ray complied as he stood up and ran out into the infinity room.

"First we test potential. You take all 3 of us on at once and we'll see how you do." Piccolo explained as he took a stance. "Ok." Ray replied as he too took a stance. They charged him, but Ray curled up into a ball before they even reached him. "Ok... We've got our work cut out for us..." Goku thought to himself as he picked up Ray. "Protect yourself or you'll die." he warned as he tossed him into the air. They all began to shoot ki blasts at him and damaged him severely. As he was on his last leg, they wen't for the kill, but he deflected this set of blasts with vicious movements. "I won't die that easily!" he barked as he charged up power and activated his armor. "I think we unbroke him..." Vegeta whispered to Goku as he went Super Saiyan.

The first 6 months went by with Ray only working at 50% power, but Piccolo already knew that which was why he was soo hesitant. "Vegeta... Your turn." Piccolo shouted as Vegeta flew over to him. "Now... Today you need to stay in Shadow Prince Mode all day. It's the only way you'll be able to access your Beta Master Mode according to Piccolo." "Ok." Ray replied as he summoned the dark energy. They began to spar and Ray looked like he had the advantage until Vegeta shot some ki blasts at him. He deflected them, but he was distracted and took a direct hit to the back. "Damn it... GRRAH!" Ray barked as he tapped into a new level of power which triggered something in his gauntlet.

His armor appeared, but disengaged as he began to glow. His shirt turned a shiny gold and his pants shined a metallic silver. His arms were cloaked in 0's and 1's and a a pair of shades appeared on his face. "This must be the power of Beta Master Mode." Vegeta thought to himself as he powered down from his Super Saiyan form. "Whoa... I can see everything. The code is literally in my grasp." Ray explained as he teleported Vegeta into a vase. "Not funny!" the saiyan prince barked as he vaporized the piece of pottery. "I feels so... amazing." he thought to himself as he powered down as well. "I've gained control of that mode, but I need to practice the change more." Ray explained to the 3 warriors as he went back to Shadow Prince Mode. "Next time I will beat him down."

Well... That's it for now.

Nero - Really? What about the?

Me - I hate 2 parters too! But I have to throw my fans something for now.

Vanellope - I understand.

Me - Are you actually being nice?

Vanellope - Don't think this is permanent. I just came down from a sugar high.

Me - OK? REVIEW!

Preview: Ray exits the chamber only 24 hours later in the real world, but can't enjoy the peace as Tubba Blubba decides to attack again. Determined not to go into this fight unprepared, he calls his buddy Death and asks to speak to Bowser. Who would know their former henchman's weakness better? But when they find it, it's being guarded by someone stronger than Tubba Blubba normally. Can Ray use his new found power to erase the threat, or will the League reclaim the second artifact and Ray's life? STAY TUNED!
