Chapter 11:
With both Orkun and Vraka taken out and killed of by Oritsu and Ryuko, all that leaves is Leech as the only opposition for our warriors. Now that B'az has been freed from his father's control, he's finally escaped his father's clutches. Leech, after seeing the death of his sons has grown visibly irritated: "Damn you…To think my own sons would fall to such weaklings! Now the plan has gone to shit!"
Now that Vejin's powers have returned he quickly powers back up into his berserk state as he stands directly in front of Leech. Vejin has grown much stronger than before, and his berserk state has been amplified due to Vejin's increase in strength. Vejin pridefully remarks: "Heh. Look at that. Even someone as composed as you can definitely lose their shit. But it seems like you lost that a long time ago." Leech grows tiresome of Vejin's banter as he goes to silence the saiyan: "SILENCE!" As Leech goes in for the attack, he's met by Vejin's hand who blocks the attack with ease. Vejin punches Leech into one of the central towers of the lookout. Vejin look behind towards Oritsu, Letuce, Ryuko, and B'az: "Follow my lead….LET'S GO!" And with Vejin's command, the five warriors all charge in to fight off against Leech. Their charge was lead by Vejin who takes front and center in the operation.
Letuce and Oritsu both come in towards Leech's sides, repeatedly punching and kicking him. Leech struggles to keep up with both saiyans on his sides. Ryuko heads in from behind and elbows him into the lookout. Leech ends up falling through the lookout floor and into one of the rooms. He jumps back up to be met with Vejin and B'az who sucker punch him square in the jaw, sending him flying. B'az began to charge up a blast within his hand: "This is for all the times you have mistreated me through my life father! TAKE THIS!" The blast would be hurdling towards Leech at astonishing speeds. It was a direct hit! Leech began to feel worn out from the barrage of attacks he received
"Let's finish this!" Ryuko shouted. He begins to cup his hands into a kamehameha, ready to finish the job. Oritsu and Letuce charge up a Crimson Cannon and a Galick Gun respectively. Vejin and B'az hold off Leech as they barrage him. B'az would do a flurry of kicks and end it with an uppercut. Vejin vanishes upwards to slam Leech back down and into the lookout. But, he's met by B'az who grabs his father and throws him towards the three warriors: "DO IT NOW!" Ryuko, Oritsu, and Letuce nod as they fire off their signature moves!
"GALICK GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"
"CRIMSON CANNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
"KAMEHAME….HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The blasts combine into one super blast as Leech was quickly overwhelmed! But, unfortunately, this was no where near enough to kill the dark namekian. That was the final straw for Leech: "Heheheheheh….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is excellent! This is going according to plan!" Letuce was confused as hell seeing Leech like this: "Hey, uh, you guys? I think Leech really lost it this time.." Leech's aura began to leak out of his body slowly, sort of like a smoke. Leech continues with his mini monologue: "This is finally what I've been waiting for…The return of what I once was..With the death of my sons, I'm now able to become myself once more…I AM LEECH! THE DARK NAMEKIAN! AND A SON OF CHAOS!" Leech's energy began to swirl around himself and unleash in one giant burst! Leech has finally awakened his full power once again.
The sheer amount of power caused the lookout to be engulfed by heavy winds. All the warriors had their guards up to make sure they wouldn't be flying away. Oritsu notes: "That power! It's…It's unreal!" Ryuko begins to sweat a bit seeing this horrific sight: "There's no way…a being like this exists!" Vejin smirks seeing Leech power up like this: "Now that's what I call power…." The flames of Leech's aura would subside as the area around the lookout began to calm down. Leech readies himself in a stance to engage against all 5 warriors.
Vejin responds to Leech's sudden burst in power with his very own, causing his own aura to burst as well. As a result, both Leech's aura and Vejin's aura began to overlap each other. "Vejin's power…It's also rising!" Letuce shouts. Oritsu continues off of Letuce's statement: "Yeah..It's causing the lookout to shake violently! Seems like it's come down to this!"
Vejin looks back at the 4 of them: "Leave him to me…This'll be the greatest fight of a lifetime.." While Vejin says this, he gains a confident smirk towards the dark namekian. Leech cackles at Vejin: "Don't be a fool, Saiyan…You expect to challenge me? Your arrogance will be your undoing." Vejin tells the 4 of them: "I'll stall for as much time…Charge up your attacks to full power, and I'll do the same" Ryuko nods to Vejin: "Got it…"
"YOU WANT ME SAIYAN!? THEN COME AT ME!" Leech bellows. Vejin does the same: "THAT'S ALL I NEEDED TO HEAR!" Vejin and Leech's fists would clash with one another, leaving a massive shockwave on the lookout. They continued to match each others blows. Punch after punch, kick after kick, it was even. Vejin quickly unleashed a powerful hook to Leech's jaw. The namekian was unphased by the punch as he'd grab Vejin's arm: "Was that supposed to be a punch? Come on, try harder!" Leech slammed Vejin into the lookout and fires off a blast. Vejin screamed in pain: "GAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Throughout the fight, Vejin began to go on a steady decline. While Vejin was able to keep up with Leech, he ultimately started losing as Leech unleashed more of his full power. Meanwhile, our 4 warriors began to charge their attacks while Vejin started to buy time. B'az put both of his hands in front of him charging up a yellow blast. Oritsu held a red blast with green sparks in his hand. Letuce put both hands behind his head as a purple aura formed around him. Finally, Ryuko cupped his hands together, collecting energy within his palms to form a ball of energy.
After being beaten to a pulp by Leech, he'd lay on the ground, caved in by the floor. Leech began to walk away from the downed saiyan until: "Hey…Leech…" Leech was left dumbfounded that Vejin was able to talk, let alone still be conscious. Vejin grabbed onto the floor of the lookout and pushed himself back up. Vejin would be covered in bruises, marks, and wounds. Despite his body being broken, his determination stood strong. Leech looked back at the saiyan with what looked to be a bit of fear. Vejin said: "We still have unfinished business to attend to…" That look of fear turned into anger, as Leech stated: "Why won't you just stay down!" Leech began to rush at the saiyan, but went face first into Vejin's blast. This blast came rushing towards the others. Vejin would shout back towards the others: "HOPE YOU'RE READY! 'CAUSE HERE HE COMES!"
And one by one, they each fired off their blasts:
"FORTUNE….FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEE!"
"CRIMSON CANNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
"GALICK GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"
"KA….ME….HA….ME….HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
As Leech is being pushed back by Vejin's blast, the 4 blasts would head towards Leech and Vejin's blast, causing a massive collision to ensue. Leech would be holding off both ends with each arm. He struggled to hold both ends, but he began to hold his ground. Vejin shouted: "MORE POWERRRRRRR!" Vejin poured even more power into his blast. Ryuko, Oritsu, B'az, and Letuce all did the same. However, the Dark Namekian would let out an enormous chunk of energy to disperse both ends. Ryuko remarks: "Dammit…It's not strong enough to even waver him!"
Leech quickly used his magic to freeze the 5 warriors in place: "You boys just don't quit…IT'S HOPELESS!" Leech slammed all 5 of them into the lookout. They'd shout in pain: "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" With the deaths of Orkun and Vraka, Leech is now able to access all of his magic. Leech stuck his hand into a portal he made. Multiple portals emerged around them all with Leech's hand holding a blast. He'd then fire off volleys of energy, before he himself dives into the portal. Leech began to punch and kick each of them. Appearing and disappearing through each portal, every attack was spontaneous and random. Vejin, began to grow irritated with Leech's techniques: "I'M TIRED OF THESE GAMES!" Vejin fires off a blast at where Leech was, but he retreats into a portal. The portal lingers a little longer for the blast to make its way in. After a few seconds, the portal reappeared next to Vejin and fired off his own blast back at him. Leech emerged after the blast and slammed Vejin down. Vejin struggles at getting Leech off of him, but to no avail. The Dark Namekian was too strong for the saiyan. Oritsu, Ryuko, Letuce, and B'az all head in together to help out Vejin. Leech does nothing but laugh.
"Fools…All of you…You've made this far too easy for me…" Leech began to form a circle of ki around the lookout. This circle was then imbued with his magic.
He continues to form what seems to be some kind of spell:
"Thanks for grouping yourselves together..Now…It's time you fall…"
Leech would then thrust his hand onto the floor of the lookout. As a result, a shockwave emerged from the circle. The shock of the ki, mixed in with Leech's spell, put everyone into a hypnotic trance. One by one, they all fell. Ryuko, Oritsu, Letuce. All three warriors fell. Vejin would also be taken into affect by the trance. All except for one. A mortified B'az stood there in despair, watching them fall one by one. Leech immediately stared right at B'az: "Perfect…Since you are my son, you're naturally immune to my magic. Now we can begin with the ceremony…" Leech reached into a portal and took out the Sword of Ethunu once more.
Vejin would be trapped in an endless abyss, filled with nothing but darkness and smoke. However, a light would be seen in the distance, calling out his name: "Vejin…" Vejin would head towards this light: "Who's there? Where the hell did I up at?" What Vejin saw next broke him down into tears. The light in the distance was a familiar face. None other than Terra. Vejin turned from being stoic and hard boiled, and broke. He had no words as the tears from his eyes would continue to drip: "Terra…"
Terra had not moved. She stood next to Vejin, looking down on him: "Why did you let me die Vejin? Why?" Vejin, after hearing this looks up at Terra and meets her eyes. It took him a minute to say anything as he was still processing what he had heard: "...What?" Terra said it again: "Why did you let me die?" Vejin wiped the tears from his eyes: "I never let you die, Terra..How could I let go of the one person I cared about in this universe? I never wanted you to die!" Terra replied: "If that were true, then how come you were the one who survived? You got to live on with your life. I never did." Vejin felt like his heart had crumbled. Like it was smashed with a hammer. But, he knew what he had to do, regardless: "Terra…I never let you die. You were the one who stood up to Frieza. You protected me from Frieza when I was helpless after protecting you from him! I could never forgive myself if I let you die!"
There was a pause. Vejin and Terra would not say a word. Then, Vejin resumes with his previous statement: "The fact that you stood up to the most fearsome emperor in the universe, just to make sure I was never hurt was something that I was too scared to do. You were stronger than me in that moment. In my heart, you've always been that way. I'm happy that I got to be with you Terra." Terra had not said a word. Although it was an illusion, the illusion was based off of Vejin's memories. As a result, Terra had begun to cry and fall to her knees. "Terra!" Vejin cried, as he quickly caught her and sat behind her on the floor. Terra looked back at Vejin: "I love you, Vejin…" She then disappeared within the illusion. She faded away like dust blowing in the wind. Vejin quietly talked to himself: "Terra…"
However, not all illusions had a similar fate. Some were more drastic as Leech had manipulated the others in having grim realities to them. Everything they saw in those illusions would lead to a different outcome.
Oritsu had been trapped within a similar illusion as Vejin. Oritsu grabbed onto his head: "Ughhhhhh…Where am I? Where is everyone?" Oritsu felt a burning sensation around him. As if the illusion itself was on fire. Oritsu heard a faint voice cry out for help: "HELP! ANYBODY PLEASE!" Oritsu quickly headed towards the sound of the voice. As he rushed over, the burning sensation would grow: "It's…Getting hot…Too hot…" Oritsu started to feel overwhelmed by the heat, but he did not give up on wanting to save this voice. He'd arrive to find out it was his elder sister, Kiki. Oritsu shouted: "KIKI! Hold on, I'm coming!" Kiki saw Oritsu and reached out for his hand: "Oritsu!"
As soon as she reached out to Oritsu's hand, flames began to appear around the two. Oritsu began to have a sensation of fear: "Wh-What!? What's going on!?" The flames would separate Kiki and Oritsu. "ORITSU!" Kiki screamed. Oritsu tried to reach out to Kiki once more: "KIKI!" Oritsu reached his hand through the fire that had separated the two of them, only to be left with her former skeleton. Oritsu screamed as he dropped her hand. The skeleton hand would turn into ash. Two glowing red eyes would appear in the flame as Oritsu stumbled backwards, and then ran. Oritsu fled from this entity, but the flames grew more powerful. Oritsu was trapped. He couldn't escape the flames. He realized it was hopeless.
Letuce would be in a much brighter illusion then the former two illusions. He'd be back at Capsule Corp. Seemed like everything was normal. Letuce would quickly head into Capsule Corp with a worried look. Vegeta Jr was making some lunch: "What the!? Letuce! What have I told you about barging in like that!" Letuce would catch his breath: "Grandpa! Where's everyone?! Where's Leech!? What happened!" Vegeta Jr was confused: "You seem tense, Letuce. But, they're all in the other room. Come.." Letuce would follow his grandfather to the next room.
As they go down the hallway it gets darker and darker. Vegeta Jr had disappeared from Letuce: "Grandpa!? GRANDPA! WHERE ARE YOU!" Capsule Corp had disappeared from behind him, leaving Letuce in an abyss. Vegeta Jr would emerge from the abyss, left as a hollow version of himself. Vegeta Jr was just skin. No bones, no organs, just his skin. Vegeta Jr was just a husk of what he once was. Letuce would be left in fear: "GRANDPA!" However, the husk of Vegeta Jr spoke: "What's wrong Letuce? What's got you so worked up?" Vegeta Jr's voice would be completely distorted. As if a demon was talking to him. There would be strings appearing on Vegeta Jr's arms. He looked to be some kind of puppet, suspended by strings. Two giant hands would control Vegeta Jr. It was a giant version of Leech who controlled him. Letuce, frozen in fear, looked on as the world around him, crumbled apart.
Ryuko was the last one to be affected by the spell. His illusion was nothing but red. He looked around to find a shadowy figure towering over him. His eyes glew red and he had a very toothy grin on his face. Ryuko quickly backed away as the figure was ready to attack him. Ryuko quickly asked: "Who are you!? What business do you have with me!" The shadow spoke: "You know exactly who I am..How could you forget?" Ryuko didn't know what he was talking about.
Ryuko felt sharp head pains whenever he encountered this shadow, but…It was familiar. It was like he felt these head pains before. The shadow looms over him like death had come for him: "Already down? That's a shame..Here I thought you were supposed to be the better one…You have nothing without me!" Ryuko shouted once more: "WHO ARE YOU!" The shadow leaned in close to Ryuko, meeting face to face. The shadowy figure would show his true face. It was a man. But, this man had some familiarity to Ryuko. The man spoke: "Do you remember me now?" The man whispered in his ear something that left Ryuko unable to move an inch of his body. The man would be consumed by the shadow, ready to strike at Ryuko again.
In the outside world, B'az would be trying to run for his life to evade his father's attempts of subduing him. B'az knows he's outmatched. He won't be able to fight him alone. Leech freezes B'az in place with his magic: "Now I've got you…Let's begin" B'az breaks free from the spell and fires a blast at Leech's eyes. Leech drops the sword: "SON OF A- GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Leech reached for the sword, and picked it back up. B'az finally stood up to his father and fought back. He'd unleash attack after attack. B'az landed five punches, followed up with an uppercut, and two kicks. He grabbed the sword from his father's hands. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Leech shouted as his look would change into pure rage. In an instant, he tore off his son's arm to retrieve the sword: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" B'az would grab what was left of his arm. Leech had his hands on the sword. This time, he made sure B'az wouldn't get away. He put him under a stronger spell, in which even he won't escape. He'd pull back the sword and thrust it straight into B'az's gut, impaling him. B'az's eyes would lose their color. He'd bleed out his arm, stomach, and mouth. He slowly began to die. Now that the sword has been covered by the blood of a pure hearted Namekian, it was time for Leech's plans to begin.
The skies turned into a bloody red color. Leech took out the sword as it dispersed lightning from it. The Earth began to tremble and quake. Leech pointed the sword up into the sky. The lightning would all head to one point, which was the sword. Leech began to feel the power: "Yes….YESSS! THE TRUE POWER OF CHAOS IS NOW MINE!" He'd look to see the four warriors still in the illusion: "You will be the first to see my plan come to fruition…" With a flick of a wrist, Leech had stopped their illusion simultaneously. Vejin, Ryuko, Oritsu, and Letuce had started to witness the true power of chaos. And it was horrifying. "No…We're too late.." Oritsu told them. Vejin would clench his fist in frustration. Letuce and Ryuko had not said a word. Leech continued with his speech: "You will all be the first to witness what the art of chaos has to hold…WITNESS! THE GREATEST POWER IN ALL THE UNIVERSE!" Letuce looked over to see B'az, who was currently laying lifeless on the floor: "No! Dammit! You guys, he's not doing so hot!" However, they couldn't focus on B'az for now. A portal began to open up in the sky. The lightning grew even more sporadic as the portal began to open. Leech had done it. His plans were a success: "FINALLY! DRAGON OF CHAOS! I OFFER YOU THIS WORLD AS A SACRIFICE TO YOUR ENDLESS HUNGER! NOW RISE! ETHUNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
A giant dragon would descend onto the lookout. The dragon looked like a demonic version of Porunga. It was a dark colored dragon with four arms. It had sharp teeth and fangs similar to a saber tooth tiger. It had a pointy ears, a long tail with two spikes at the end, and two horns on it's had. It's wings would sprout upon landing. The beast would let out a ferocious roar.
All hope seems to be lost.
Chapter: END
