Chapter 26: Michael Arrives At Last! Take Down The Ginyu Force!

Michael took a few moments to take in his surroundings.

Michael - "Right now I have to find everyone, and quick. Just be alive. Artoria, Azura, Akira, Jeanne."

Michael then floated into the air a bit. He quickly sensed a bunch of strong powers in one direction.

Michael - "There's some over there."

The group of powers belonged to Gilgamesh (Archer), Goetia, Byakuya, Zouken, Amakusa, and Semiramis.

He then sensed another power that was alone.

Michael - "And another one there."

This single power belonged to Captain Ginyu.

Michael - "Wow. When I sensed for some insanely strong people right, I wasn't lied to."

Michael then sensed his four injured sisters.

Michael - "Artoria, Azura, Akira, and Jeanne. They're all hurt and barely hanging on. They're in the same place, near those three other huge powers I'm sensing. It's ok girls. I'll be right there. It's time to see just how strong I've truly become due to my fight with Hassan back at the manor."

Michael then activated Kaio-Ken and rushed towards the battlefield. Jeice and Burter watched in wonder as Michael sped towards them, then were shocked as he sped past them, as well as Recoome, who Michael made spin like a top.

Artoria - "About time he showed up."

Azura - "Yeah. Making a hero's entrance as always."

Recoome finally made himself stop spinning like a top, then turned himself around to see Michael, who was looking down at the nearly dead Jeanne.

Michael - "Jeanne."

Michael got down to one knee to assist his youngest sister.

Michael - "Here sis. I brought u a senzu bean so eat it. Jeanne. Jeanne."

Jeanne's head rolled over, making her lifeless eyes stare up at her older brother.

Michael - "No good. Her neck's broken, so she probably can't hear me. But it's alright. I'll feed it to you and it'll get you fixed right up, ok?"

Recoome - "Hey you! Who are you? What do you think you're doing here? You know these losers?"

Michael - "Here we go Jeanne. Just try to swallow."

Michael slowly fed Jeanne the senzu bean, causing her neck to be fixed and the light to be returned to her eyes.

Michael - "Ah. Feel better?"

Jeanne - "It's you... Brother... You... You're really here!"

Everyone was completely shocked to see Jeanne back on her feet, especially the Ginyu Force.

Jeice - "What?! That kid was almost dead a second ago!"

Burter - "How did he do that?"

Michael helped Jeanne to her feet, then quickly dusted her off.

Michael - "There. Good as new."

Jeanne - "Michael, you have to be careful with these guys."

Michael - "Don't worry, we'll get to that. But first we need to give one of these senzu beans to Akira, right?"

Jeanne - "Yeah. Right."

Michael led Jeanne over to his younger twin, catching up on the current situation along the way.

Michael - "So you've had it pretty rough here, huh?"

Jeanne - "Yeah. I didn't think we were gonna make it."

Michael then looks over at his two oldest siblings.

Michael - "What happened to Artoria and Azura? They're looking pretty beat up too."

Jeanne - "That big guy. The two of them tried to fight him before Akira and I did. He was just too strong for any of us."

Michael - "I see."

The duo then finally reaches the seriously hurt Akira. Who chuckles at seeing her older twin.

Akira - "Michael..."

Michael chuckles back in response.

Michael - "Akira. Sorry it took me so long. Here. Senzu bean?"

Akira - "Yeah. Thanks big bro. But I'm not sure it'll help."

Michael - "What? Of course it will."

Akira took the senzu bean and ate it, then slowly got back to her feet too.

Jeice - "Now she's back on her feet too."

Burter - "Just what is going on around here?"

Akira - "Look bro. I know you can already sense it yourself. How strong these guys really are. Sure, using the senzu bean fixed me right up, but we're just gonna get clobbered again. Sorry, but we don't stand a chance. Not even you. Their power is just on a whole other level. You should've seen it. Even Artoria and Azura were getting knocked around like-"

Michael - "Right. Them too. I heard."

Michael pulled out 2 senzu beans from the pouch that was on his belt.

Michael - "These are the last two senzu beans, huh?"

He drops the pouch to the ground, followed by turning to look at his eldest sisters. He then holds the senzu beans in his fists.

Michael - "Hey Artoria, Azura!"

Akira and Jeanne freak out as Michael tosses the senzu beans at them, just narrowly missing Recoome's mouth. Both sisters catch the senzu beans.

Michael - "That's for you two! Eat it!"

Akira - "Wait! No! You said those are the last two, right? Don't waste them!"

Both Artoria and Azura quickly ate the senzu beans, feeling the healing powers of the bean quickly taking effect.

Akira - "What were you thinking?! Even if you heal them and we can all fight together as a team, it won't do any good."

Michael - "I have my reasons Akira."

Akira - "Huh?"

Michael - "I want to make sure all four of you, along with the rest of our sisters are in good shape to assist me in case I need it. Now stay here. I'll take care of these Ginyu guys."

Akira - "What?! All of them, all by yourself?!"

Jeanne - "He means it."

Michael makes his way over towards Recoome, who starts chuckling manically.

Recoome – "You really think you got what it takes to beat us huh? Yeah, you're real funny."

Musashi – "Oh man. This must be the worst idea ever. Does Michael really not sense how strong they are?! These Ginyu's are way out of our league."

Mordred – "I-I don't know Musashi. Something's different."

Recoome – "Now how about I crack you up funny man? Hey! Tell me the new guy's power level so I don't beat him with one shot!"

Burter checks his scouter.

Burter – "You might not be able to help yourself."

Recoome – "Huh?"

Burter – 'He's only about 5,000,000."

Recoome – "What?! Aw man. Is that really all you got? I should've figured you were all talk."

Artoria and Azura stared at their brother.

Artoria – "I don't understand why Michael is so unusually calm. Sure, he realizes what he's up against. But still… He's completely at ease. He hasn't even bothered to put up his guard."

Realization hit the eldest sisters like a truck as they shared a glance with each other.

Azura – "Wait?! Has he… Has he actually done it?!"

Recoome – "Oh wait! I get it! You're nuts! Did you just bust out of an insane asylum or something?"

Michael – "You can't beat me."

Recoome – "Huh?"

Michael – "I can tell without even fighting you."

Recoome takes a few seconds to understand what Michael said, then bursts out laughing.

Recoome – "You got a million of them, don't ya?! You boys hear that? Funny man's still telling jokes over here! I'm about to keel over I'm laughing so hard."

Jeice and Burter join in by chucking.

Musashi – "Woah. M-Maybe he really has gone crazy. I'm sure Michael isn't one for talking smack to his opponents before."

Mordred – "Yeah. It's totally not like him. I don't get it. I've never seen him act this way before."

Artoria/Azura – "No… That would be impossible?! Michael, our own little brother?! There's no way he could've attained that much power so quickly!"

Recoome – "Thanks for all the laughs, guy. But I've heard just as much from you as I want to hear. I think it's time I wiped that smile off your face for good. Ok you ready? Lights out funny man."

Recoome takes a deep inhale and screams.

Recoome – "Now Feel The Power… Of… Recoome... Punch!"

Michael suddenly disappeared, dodging Recoome's attack before it could connect. Everyone was now wondering where Michael went.

Musashi – "He's gone. But where…"

Musashi glanced over at Artoria and Azura, seeing a look of complete shock on their faces as they were glancing to their right.

Burter – "That's strange. Did you see what happened?"

Jeice's scouter suddenly went off, showing an energy reading behind him and Burter.

Jeice – "What's that?!"

They turned to find Michael suddenly behind them without making even a sound.

Burter – "How'd you get there?!"

Jeice – "Yeah! You punk!"

Musashi – "Now he's over there. Woah. So that's it. That's what had Artoria and Azura so freaked out. They're the only ones that actually saw their brother move."

Michael – You guys are all working for Rensho and Gilgamesh, right?"

Jeice and Burter growled in annoyance.

Michael – "I'll give you one last chance to leave this place peacefully. If I were you, I would take it."

Jeice and Burter try attacking Michael but are quickly stopped when he appears behind them again.

Jeice – "What?! How'd we miss?!'

Michael floated back over towards Recoome.

Recoome – "Alright ya little bastard. You got yourself some speed, I'll give you that. But… It's doesn't change nothing. You can't win if all you do is run. Still if that's how you want to play it. Fine, I'm game. I've got a move I saved special just for dealing with freaks like you. Go ahead, try and run. When I'm done this whole will be a pile of ash, and I'm gonna be standing on top!"

Artoria/Azura – "This is it! Brother's moment of truth!"

Recoome – "I'm gonna blast every single one of you off the map with this one shot!"

Recoome pushes his fists onto the ground and his charges his energy.

Recoome – "Bye-bye, heh! Gah! Recoome…Ultra Fighting…Miracle…Atta-?!"

Artoria and Azura's eyes went wide in fear and shock as they watched their little brother take down Recoome with just an elbow to the gut.

Michael – "There. Done? Sorry, but you did kinda leave yourself wide open there, ya know? Bad move."

Michael chuckles.

Recoome – "Not… Funny…"

Recoome passes out and falls to the ground on his face.

Alice – "Did brother just win?"

Scathach – "You're…kidding. How could he. Even if Michael did catch him off guard, this is still the same guy that Artoria, Azura, Akira, and Jeanne couldn't so much as put a scratch on him. And Michael floored him with one punch."

Jeice - "Am I seeing things here?! Is… Is Recoome down?!"

Burter – "No. After one shot?! That was barely a tap."

Artoria – "No… Michael…"

Azura - "The others may not have seen what happened, but you can't fool our eyes. That was no ordinary attack."

Artoria - "The amount of force he channeled into that single point. It was devastating. There's no question that Michael's power is on a whole different level."

Azura - "But… But how?! Did all those Zenkai boosts from his fight with Hassan really push him this far?!"

Artoria/Azura - "Is our little brother really… a god?!"

Michael turned his gaze towards the other two Ginyu Force members.

Michael – "What's it going to be you two? Leave here, and go back to wherever it is you came from? Or stay, and make the same mistake your friend made?"

Jeice gave a sly smirk.

Jeice – "You believe this guy? I think Recoome had him pegged from the start. He's obviously got a few screws loose."

Burter – "Yeah. The illusions of grandeur from the sounds of it. He knocks Recoome out and suddenly he's king of the world. One lucky shot, that's all it was."

Jeice – "Right. It was just a fluke. It won't happen again. He's a joke. His power level barely even made a blip on the scouters."

Okita – "W-What's he doing now? H-He's gonna fight them both at once?"

Jeanne – "I think so."

A sudden breeze blows across the room.

Jeice – "Ready?"

Burter – Yeah."

Both Ginyu members jump and do a front-flip into the air before landing a good distance away from each other, with Michael directly in the middle of them.

Jeice – "It's the Ginyu Force red magma! Jeice!"

Burter – "And here comes the blue hurricane! Burter!"

Everyone – "Are these guys for real…"

Michael – "So I guess you're not leaving?"

Jeice and Burter then jumped and landed near each other.

Jeice – "Let's go!"

Burter – "Now!"

Both men rushed at Michael, then landed on either side of him.

Jeice – "Now you listen to us little man. We'll tell you when to-"

Michael shut Jeice up by punching him square in the face, shocking everyone, including Burter.

Jeice – "Why… Why you…"

Michael – "Now. What were you saying? Sorry, but you guys really do leave yourselves wide open."

Jeice – "That's… it… We're Done Talking!"

Both men attack Michael, who blocks easily. Michael then just as easily knocks both men back, striking Jeice with a quick knee to the head and sweeping Burter's feet out from under him. All three men were then quickly back on their feet.

Jeice – "Whoa!"

Burter – "You're dead!"

Michael then clashes his arms together before flexing them outward, causing a shockwave that knocks back his opponents. Jeice and Burter quickly catch themselves in midair.

Jeice – "Whatwasthat?! Where'd he get that power all of a sudden?!"

Atalanta – "Unreal. It's like he just flexed his muscles and sent them flying."

Alice – "Maybe we were wrong. Maybe these 2 Ginyu guys really aren't as strong as we were afraid they were. They can't even lay a finger on Michael."

Sheena – "No, I don't think that's it. You all feel it? They're both putting out a ton of power. They were at least as strong as that Recoome and he was a monster. It's hard to believe, but maybe Michael's just so strong now he's making them look like pushovers."

Kyoshi – "I'm sure we all thought that Sheena. But if that's true, shouldn't we be sensing Michael's energy too?"

Jeice pointed his scouter at Michael.

Jeice – "This… This doesn't make any sense. The scouter doesn't lie. His power level's only 5,000,000 no mistake."

Legretta – "Fools. It's obvious that Michael is suppressing his power and raising it sharply in the exact instant he attacks. He's holding every last ounce of energy in reserve until he needs it. And when he strikes, it's such a brief flash that not even those advanced scouters are able to detect it. But how much power is he concealing? Just how strong has Michael actually become?"

Burter – "Ok. That does it. This puny little weakling will not make a fool out of me. Hey Jeice! I say it's time we break out the Purple Comet Crush!"

Jeice – "Been a while since we dusted that one off. Sounds good! Let's end this clown!"

Burter – "Oh yeah!"

Jeice and Burter charged their energies, then came together for their combo attack.

Jeice/Burter – "PURPLE COMET CRUSH!"

Multiple purple ki blasts were fired at Michael, who just deflected them all by creating an invisible force field while shouting.

Jeice – "Did we get him or what?!"

The smoke cleared to show Michael was completely unharmed. Burter growled in annoyance.

Jeice – "You've got to be kidding me."

The intercommon on Jeice's scouter went off.

Burter – "Jeice…"

Jeice – "What is it Burter?"

Burter – "Let's go for plan B. You'll fire your crusher Ball, right? Our speedy little friend here's gonna try to dodge it, and when he does…"

Jeice – "Yeah. Then what?"

Burter – "What do you think?! I'll swing around and slam him from the back! I don't care how fast he is, I'm the fastest in the universe! By the time he sees me coming, he'll already be a grass stain!"

Jeice – "Right. Let's do it. So now we've been reduced to petty sneak attacks. Alright. CRUSHER… BALL!"

Jeice fires his Crusher Ball straight at Michael.

Burter – "Now. Make your move."

Michael does nothing.

Burter – "Damnit! Hurry And Dodge!"

Michael easily deflected the Crusher Ball away.

Jeice – "He Deflected It?! What?!"

Burter quickly moves out of the way as Jeice's Crusher Ball had been deflected straight at him.

Burter – "Curse You!"

Burter quickly zoomed back to where Michael was, but found that the boy had suddenly disappeared. Jeice then looked towards his teammate and was utterly shocked at what he saw.

Burter – "Come on! Where the heck did he go?"

Jeice – "Burter behind you!"

Burter screams as he moves away from Michael, who is just floating behind Burter with his arms crossed

Michael – "Hey."

Burter – "What?! Nobody out flights me?! I'm Burter! I'm the fastest in the whole universe!"

Michael – "Well. Maybe the second fastest now."

Burter growled in annoyance at being straight up outplayed.

Jeice – "What is going on?! No one brushes off my Crusher Ball like that! And no one puts the moves on Burter! It's like something straight out of a nightmare!"

Burter – "What are you?!"

Michael – "I'm a Fonian that was raised on Aldurant. That help?"

Burter growled in fury.

Burter – "You Lie! How Can Some Stupid Fonian Dragon Ever Be Faster Than Me?!"

Michael – "Don't know. Maybe… Maybe I just train harder than you?"

Burter – "Whatever. It doesn't matter. No! You won't be able to run forever!"

Michael scoffs at Burter's claim.

Burter – "I'll wear you down. As soon as your speed starts to fail, you're mine."

Burter attacks Michael, who easily dodges every punch thrown at him.

Jeice – "DAMNIT! I've Have Enough Of This Maggot! No One Makes Fools Out Of THE GINYU FORCE!"

Jeice soon joined the fray, but Michael dodged all of his attacks too.

Burter – "Ha! It's All You Can Do Just To Dodge Me! You Can't Even Fight Back!"

Michael – "I wouldn't be so sure."

Michael disappeared again, causing both Jeice and Burter to hit each other.

Burter – "Idiot!"

Jeice – "The Hell You Kicking Me For?!"

They both get angry at each other for a few moments, but Jeice quickly puts an end to it.

Jeice – "Relax Burter. This is no time for us to be fighting between ourselves."

Burter – "Yeah. Right."

Michael – "Excuse me, but, this is your last chance. Quit, now, or I will fight back."

Jeice and Burter tried attacking Michael again, but this time Michael kept his word, rolling away from them in the air and kicking Burter square in the left shoulder, destroying the armor with little effort. This left Jeice absolutely stunned. Michael then hits Burter across the back sending him screaming towards the ground. Burter is knocked out with a palm thrust into his gut by Michael. Everyone is stunned at the fact that Michael just single handedly took down two seemingly strong opponents like they were nothing.
