A\N: Before we start the chapter I wanted to talk about something beforehand. *Takes a deep breath* I just saw the DLC for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot for Future Trunks timeline and let me say something...even though the game is great there was something in specific that really ANNOYED the living hell out of me. There is a certain side-mission called The Legend of Yamcha where Puar is trying to convince some random people how cool his friend Yamcha was and all the stuff he could do but no one believes him. Trunks then come to help convince them because he is nice and even tells them Yamcha was his master, but after all the things he did they only see Trunks as cool and that he had surpassed his master.
But that's not the reason why I am so angry, no, by far is mostly what Future Bulma from that timeline says when Trunks tells her what he was doing with Puar. We all know how shitty the future Trunks timeline is thanks to the androids and everyone being dead, but that's not stopping Bulma from dishing out Yamcha RIGHT IN FRONT of Puar! X( Seriously, how rude and uncalled for. She is all like...
"That guy was way too carefree and sloppy for his own good. Oh, and don't get me started on how afraid of commitment he was"
"I definitely wouldn't be convinced if someone said he was amazing"
Then she tries to save face by saying some nice things bout Yamcha because Puar would be sad and stuff but then she is mentally talking more shit about him like.
"Yamcha was also a cheater, overly emotional and didn't respect other peoples time"
...Seriously? Are you fucking with me right now?
Oh...my...god! Do we have any solid proof that Yamcha was a cheater? I may not know much about the future trunks version of Yamcha but all we ever get from that is the perspective of Bulma towards it. Overly emotional? Not respectful of other people's time? Yamcha is just awkward around girls and Bulma was the only one he felt comfortable with, like...how the fuck would he even think about being with another woman? he is not the perfect boyfriend but saying that he doesn't respect your time? You're THE ONE WHO MARRIED A GENOCIDAL SAIYAN THAT LEFT YOU WHEN YOU WERE PREGNANT TO GO TO SPACE AND ALLOWED CELL TO REACH HIS PERFECT FORM and be manipulated by a wizard releasing an ancient demon, but alas let's forgive him because he sacrificed himself at the ned -_-
I mean let's be honest here, Yamcha helped a lot in DB without him Bulma would either have spent the rest of her life as a carrot or being eaten, remember that? The whole turning into a carrot? Yeah, think bout that! Or she would be stuck on the pillar stone in pilaf castle after Goku would have turned into a great ape because remember it was thanks to Puar and Yamcha teamwork that they managed to cut Goku's tail off. :(
Yamcha and Bulma have been dating for several years, they had their up and downs and when he died by the Saibamen she actually cried for him but after he is resurrected, for some odd reason she decided to have a one night stand with the prince of all Saiyans who wasn't even a good guy for real. Was it because she is into bad boys? or because Toriyama wanted more Saiyans? Anyway, I just hate to see that no matter how many decades or how many Dragonball Z games we get, people are going to constantly shit on Yamcha calling him weak and a cheater even though he is strong enough at that point to make quick work of anyone who is not final form Frieza or something. Is this how it ends? All memes die, except the Yamcha pose? This was uncalled for, your talking shit about your dead friend who helped you in the past and died by the androids, why make a side mission like this? Do you all think this is funny? GOSH! HATE THIS, WISH WHOEVER DID THAT SLIPPED ON THE FLOOR AND CRACKED THEIR TEETH!
...*Breathes in* Sorry for the rant, I just REALLY needed someone to read this, Yamcha may not be the strongest fighter in the franchise but he is always there to help his friends when the need arrives even if he is not a Saiyan, Namekian, Android, demon, angel, god or whatever. It's just not fair...so unfair. Let's just go to the chapters already ok?
Previously on the latest chapter, Yamcha and Puar had finally bare witness to the Pokemon Egg being hatched, and from it came the cute and loyal fire-type furball known as Growlithe who the former bandit decided to name it Takibi. It didn't take too long for them to get attached and see that Growlithe wasn't just some dog-looking creature, he had skills to back it up, his heritage that was told in legend and quite smart too, then again all pokemon could understand their trainers when asked to use certain moves.
Now? Three weeks had passed and currently, Yamcha was doing some of his workout routines but decided to go and try something different like a makeshift Salmon ladder that he managed to make with his Earthbending after countless hours imagining it to be perfect while using the thinking cap, of course doing intervals for the side effect to not burn his scalp, but in the end, it looked nice, maybe he should try making more workout stuff with this, it felt quite convenient and free of charge.
What is a Salmon Ladder you say? PFT! Go watch a clip of Arrow and see Oliver Queen do it XD it has bars and stuff. It's one of those exercises whereby hinging his body and wiggling it, he is using the momentum of the body to propel himself vertically a couple of inches just enough to get the bar into the next rung. You're using your core to start and then your upper body comes in to stabilize the vertical displacement that was done previously by the wiggle. So your core, your upper body, all your intercostals, your ribs, the muscles of your back, triceps, lats, shoulders are used in this one big exercise that requires focus, Yamcha has also done it with heavyweights on his ankles.
Now, whenever he was done with his training, the former bandit would then drink the Sports Drink that he had decided to buy out of curiosity, it was called NOOMA. After all, no matter how strong you are you can't out-train your diet. It was an organic sports drink that consisted of water, organic coconut water, organic flavoring, sea salt, and organic stevia leaf extract. Having 30 calories, 110 mg of sodium, 7 grams of carbs, and 5 grams of sugar. When drinking it he felt the subtle hint of coconut that came off as a creamy-like flavor mixed with the warm hint of mint and chocolate from the flavor he has chosen, almost like drinking a healthy milkshake.
The best choice of a sports drink to refill your Electrolytes (They regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure, and help rebuild damaged tissue) after a good workout, good taste, and no excess sugar or preservatives. When the training was done he would take a shower and relax for a while, Takibi was sleeping peacefully and Puar was watching TV, both without a care in the world, almost like nothing could co wro-
"Hey there, your abs are looking nice," Melvin said showing up.
"Gah!" Yamcha almost dropped the banana he was gonna eat.
"You really gotta learn how to use the door" Puar commented.
"Awwn but I just learned that I can still take him off by surprise" Melvin gave a toothy smile.
Yamcha bet to differ, wanting to tell some real things to that guy for keep on doing shit like that "What do you want now? Cant, you see I'm not decent?" He was still wearing a towel.
"Then go gear up Wolf boy, because rest time is over. I got quite the challenge waiting for you and I think it's gonna be the hardest yet" Melvin said with a glimpse of someone about to have a good time.
"What, already?"
"Oh I'm sorry would you rather spend your precious time watching some lame-ass series made by those who just want to get money or pet your pokemon? Because you have already done that enough"
Yamcha just grumbles like he doesn't believe his guy shows up without knocking just to laugh at his reaction, he will get used to it, and not even by surprise would he give him the satisfaction of spooking him. After a few minutes, Yamcha had already put on his Gi, gauntlets, and sword ready for whatever challenge the fallen angel had cooked up for him.
"Ok im ready now," Yamcha said.
"Can I come this time? I don't wanna stay behind"
"I don't know Puar it could be dan-"
"Sure thing bluey furball, why not? Staying behind is boring anyway.
"Yay! ...Wait. Don't call me that!" Puar pouted.
"Hey ain't that dangerous?" Yamcha asked
"Calm your tits man, I got this"
Before Yamcha could yell about the way Melvin talked to him, tapping his staff twice on the ground lightly, Melvin made him and the duo of friends suddenly vanish. Soon reappearing though, but in a place that was somewhat familiar to Yamcha and Puar from long ago, and the main point in their memories
The floating cat put in "No way, isn't this...?"
The fallen angel smiled and replied "I see that even though it's a wasteland you seem to recognize it. Welcome back to the place where you got your first victory/defeat against the Saibamen!"
Yamcha looked at the place, a flood of nostalgia hitting him as he saw the many tall peaks and rocks that littered the landscape, so much training with kami for that one day...going down the hole as fast a blinking.
'He's right...we are here. At the very place, everything began'
However, Yamcha noticed that something felt off, it was a sensation that he had experienced before but only in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the air was dense.
He looked to Melvin and inquired "Hey, what is going on here? This place looks like where I met Vegeta and his minion, but...something is different!"
Melvin answered "But of course. You see, we are in a special pocket dimension of my design. While this is the place you fought the green men of Saiyan creation long ago, I tweaked it up a little. It has the specifications that you felt in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout, but I put in a few...perks of my own" Melvin gave a small laugh at it.
Puar asked nervously "And...what might those...perks be?" He had witnessed this happen every time Melvin tinkered with something, and the results were always annoying.
The divine being replied "Well, for one thing, fur ball, you are surrounded by a thin but strong energy field. It makes it so you are not affected being in a place that has Earth, ten times the normal gravity & changing temperature almost instantly"
Yamcha saw that indeed, his friend was not affected by what he was feeling now, if not then it would have been on the ground & most likely gasping for air "What other perks have you put in this place? Traps? Exploding mines? The rocks having hard metal underneath them?"
Melvin chuckled as he remarked, "No, no! Nothing like that...but they do make good ideas in the future as extras, I'm sure even if this was would happen you would have a good time hehe"
Yamcha face-palmed himself, knowing he had walked into that one
"No, this place is different. You see, you will fight your enemy in a changing environment. First off, the gravity here WILL be fluxing. Every five minutes it will randomly change its gravity, it has a limit between normal gravity to 150G times, also I don't control it, so you will be either very lucky to get a light gravity change... or unlucky to get a heavy dose of it. The temperatures and environment will be changing. This place will either be covered in trees and such like a jungle, turn to a desert landscape, icy tundras...maybe even go underwater!"
"Didn't Yamcha try those environments already though?" Puar asked.
Melvin finished up "Yes but they are too fun to let go, it's hard to come with something new. And also, the temperatures will be changing. But it will be at random as well. It can now go from -60 to 140 degrees, but thankfully it can also go anywhere within the middle area. So again, it's all luck of the draw when the scene shifts and such"
Yamcha put on a brave smirk and stated "Aren't you nice to warn me first this time around? I have to say, when you do something, you don't do it halfway"
He laughed and proclaimed "Thanks Wolf Boy! Now prepare yourself...here comes your enemy!" He points in front of Yamcha where his intense training would soon start!"
When Melvin tells him that, the former bandit turns around already in his fighting stance in case of a surprise attack, but when paying attention there was nothing, in fact, the only living beings so far have been him, Puar, and Melvin. But then faraway out of the edge of the rocks scattered around the field, where what could be seen as the green-skinned -red-eyed humanoids coming out known as Saibamen. At first, just a total of two came out, almost like they were either curious or they didn't care all that much about revealing their hiding spot.
But that didn't last long, a few seconds later and more Saibamen started to show up, by the rocks, from the floor, dozens of them! Like an infestation of plant-bio alien organisms. The weirdest part was that they were not attacking, there were practically a hundred of them already, but instead, they started to hold hands. Yep that's right, all the Saibamen decided to make a circle, their tri fingered claws were holding on to each other until they were locked into the circle like a wall, and then they screeched in an alien way that would shatter glass at how annoying, before powering up all at once.
"What the heck in Kami's name is that?" Yamcha said, completely confused.
A bright light that was strong like a Solar flare to the face, took over the place making everyone close their eyes as the process took form and something was being created right here and now. Cursing at this Yamcha thought that this would be the moment that an attack would come, but rather than doing anything rash he started to feel a great deal of energy spike up.
"Cmon no time to get blurry," Melvin said fixing up Yamchas eyesight so he could see what had just happened.
And when he finally saw it? Man! Was it ugly. The Saibamens had grouped up and now transformed into some enlarged version of his fellow brethren, it was slightly taller than Tienshinhan, possessing yellowish horns of sharp appearance and a darker tone of green than its lower counterparts, covering most of its body. His hands are now more human-like with five fingers each but sharp enough to cut through steel, his feet are black with three white claws, sporting a crotch body armor. Unlike his fellow Saibamen, this one has human-like hands with five fingers, with sharp-looking nails and his feet are black with three white claws. He sports a red version of Piccolo's cape.
(A\N: The appearance that it has now is based on Dragon Ball Fusions the Manga! And not the Game since it looks more intimidating, look it up)
Yamcha looked at his opponent and softly asked Melvin with a very tense voice "Melvin...tell me...what IS that thing?!"
The fallen angel cackled a little before answering "Yamcha, allow me to introduce you to the very pinnacle of Saibaman evolution! That there is called Saiba-King, a form in which was recently discovered by the Saiyans long ago" He explained more"You see, the Saiyans may have created the little nasties for training...but even they did not expect something like this"
"You see, one of the arrogant warriors planted several Saibamen on a planet that he was conquering, but was so lazy that he made them do his dirty work while he watched on. It was then that something occurred that took both the natives of the world & the Saiyan by surprise"
While the newly formed Saiba-King was examining and testing his limbs, Melvin continued onwards "When the little green beings encountered some formidable resistance from the locals, not to mention being ordered around by their boss who yelled at them to press on...it seemed that something within them snapped. They soon came together, in a manner which you saw earlier. This caught everyone off guard, and in a matter of moments a Saiba-King was born"
He finished up his story "The newly formed fused being quickly crushed the natives...but also turned on the one who had given the entire group grief. While his power and abilities were astounding, he was still beaten by the Saiyan, if only barely, as he was badly thrashed as well. This was all recorded by the Sayian's scouter, so the information really surprised the ones back on Planet Vegeta. And it was decided to not use the Saibamen in greater numbers, lest they have an annoying foe that could turn on them like so"
Yamcha put in "And let me guess...there never was another one made. Until now, that is. Am I right?"
The angel grinned at him and replied "You got it! Now good luck buddy because that one is really strong" He then laughed before vanishing, Puar also followed as he vanished.
The Desert Bandit was now alone in this new territory, now seeing the Saiba-King being having his gaze upon him, with a sinister smile on his face. Yamcha sighed and said to himself "Well then, time to see what you're made off ugly"
"Gyiah!"
Being the first wanting to start the fight, the green monster is raring to go and so is Yamcha. The two individuals rushed forward and started by exchanging blows to one another, quick punches, and heavy kicks, moving like two blurs around the landscape and even though most of it was being blocked or dodged, the shockwave of it was enough to crack and break the floor, spreading rocks and pebbles.
The King of Saibamen backs away after the last blow for some distance but then flies forward for one more punch with much more force, however, the former bandit is ready and leaves an afterimage in a quick burst of speed. Yamcha takes that advantage and tries to attack the green abomination at every angle, but with a creepy smirk, the creature blocks each jab and punch that was thrown at him. Powering up his overall stats some more, the scar-faced bandit gets the drop on the green goblin kicking him in the head knocking him far away. But not before it catches himself in mid-air, with a serious face he looks at the opponent and cracks his neck.
"Gigigigi!"
"I don't know what you're saying, but I still don't like it" Yamcha glares.
*Cue: Ready For War By Throw The Fight*
The fight starts once more as each tries to kick the other as swiftly as they can but that seems to be impossible, the speed is increasing more and more, one trying to outdo the other in dodging now by showcasing slightly more power by the second, analyzing their fighting pattern.
Saibaking throws an overhead smash in which manages to hit Yamcha making the guy collide against the floor, he then flies down very quickly but Yamcha is up already, the two combatants trade potent punches and kicks to one another, the shockwave impacts are powerful enough to have various rocks and grass rise up from their fighting. The duo is soon creating small potholes where they are standing, the impact of where they block overhead attacks from the other incredible enough to drive them a little deeper into the earth.
This keeps up for a minute or so until they break away from one another, it has ended on a standstill. Yamcha is showing that he was being winded slightly from his breathing, the same went for the Saibaking, as he glared at his foe, thinking why he is not dead yet. Yamcha thought 'This guy is relentless and his defenses are nothing to sneeze at either. Looks like merging with all those green beans made him very strong after all' Yamcha thought, noticing that.
Just then, a beeping sound was heard that caused the duo to look around a little for the source...then Yamcha realized that five minutes had already passed! He looked around to see that the landscape was now changing to a more jungle settling, dense and thick trees almost immediately materializing around them! The boulders and mountains were now covered in moss or other kinds of foliage, and the temperature also started to get seriously warm as Yamcha started to perspire a little.
He also felt the gravity shift, going from normal Earth gravity to about 30 times as much! Feeling heavier, the pressure and weight on every inch of his body now being felt "Looks like Melvin wasn't kidding about the surroundings and gravity changing quickly like this"
Looking at his foe, the Saibaking soon gained a smirk as it seemed he was not affected by the gravity at all. He then did something that immensely surprised the Earthling... he spoke! And not just in his usual gibberish, but in human English! His tone sounds like that of a crazed lunatic
"Hahahahahaha! Try and spot me when I disappear Earth trash!"
The green Saiba being soon leaped into the jungle, vanishing from sight as he was using his skin color to blend more with the jungle! Yamcha was now more on alert, staying in place as he listened for his foe & also to get a feel for him. He heard quiet rustling from around him, which made his eyes dart this way and that to locate the source of it.
He then smirked and said softly "I don't need to see you, to find you"
Besides having great hearing Yamcha had trained his ki-sensing to a degree where he could sense the signature of the enemy energy much clearer than before even in surroundings that were meant to mix the smell or appearance, such as his green skin blending in with the leaves, not only that but the blood lust and violence that his enemy let out was a great indication, if only he knew how to lower his ki and control his emotions, the former bandit might actually have been in trouble.
Saibaking then rushed in from behind him, but Yamcha countered by leaping upward at the last second! He then grabbed a vine from the trees, coming down fast due to gravity helping him out. He whipped the vine like a lasso, catching the Saibaking and entangling him in it! Once he was suitably tied up, the Desert Bandit rushed in to deliver some powerful strikes to the head of his enemy!
The merged monster was being pummeled and it enraged him, letting out a screech that gave Yamcha a bad vibe besides the annoyance in his ears, quickly dodging out of the way as its head opened up and sprayed acid making the former bandit back away as the floor where the acid hit was melting. The big green monster soon used his strength to break free from his bondage and went on the offensive! Yamcha was a bit miffed that the vine did not hold him as long as he had hoped, but there was no reason to complain or whine now.
The two rushed at each other, side by side as they went further into the terrain. The duo was now doing some rushing side-fighting, where they traded blows while still on the move & never breaking their stride. This lasted for some time until they came to a rock formation, Yamcha quickly grabbing his opponent by the cape and slamming him hard into the boulder.
"Haha! Why do you have a cape anyway? Wanting to be a cliche supervillain?"
Yamcha rushed in to deliver more furious blows to his enemy, pushing him deeper into the rock as the tall green being grunted in pain from the attack. It looked like the Earthling had the advantage... until the beeping sound was heard, and everything changed once more.
He said out loud "Awww man, not now!"
The scene changed yet again, from a jungle terrain to an icy field now, the foliage vanishing as everything was soon covered in a layer of thick ice! The temperature plummeted, soon going to just 9 degrees celsius. The winds whipped and whirled now all around, snow falling and almost blinding Yamcha. The gravity changed too, going from thirty times to now fifty times normal gravity!
'Hmpm! This is troublesome'
Yamcha's power and control over his chi were enough that he didn't feel too hindered by the fact of the gravity that now affected him in the snowy terrain, but the fact that things just went harder for him while his enemy seemed to be ok with no effect of it, now that would eventually put a dent later in the fight.
"GYAHHA! TAKE THIS!"
Letting out a bloody hell of a screech, powering up more as his body bulks up in muscle he starts to use a technique called *Scatter shot* it started by firing a big energy attack that would scatter apart in several smaller but powerful blasts of purple energy before hitting its mark, it was similar like the move Krillin used on Nappa Saibamens but much stronger.
"Looks like there is a brain in there after all. How about this then? HMPH!"
Yamcha didn't run, instead, he got into a pose, stuck into one place like a block of steel while the blasts came to end him.
"Tamasuberi (Slipping Ball)"
When the energy attacks came forth, instead of hitting the former bandit the ki blasts seemingly went around it, or missed their target almost like an invisible force was throwing them for a loop. Explosion after an explosion blew away the snow and the surroundings leaving craters like a war field from the blasts.
"W-What?" The Saibaking was confused.
That move was designed for defense against ki techniques, by reshaping the user's aura, you are then surrounded by a protective shell, but not the same way powering up your body with ki does, this designs the aura to deflect incoming energy techniques, thus the name Slipping Ball.
"Pardon me, I think you aim ain't getting better dude" 'That worked better than I thought, but it can be worked on more later, better not depend on it too much just in case'
The Saibaking growled, not understanding why he managed to get out unscathed. However, he would not be denied to slay his prize! He screeched and attacked again, throwing slashing attacks & kicks frenetically with raw strength. Yamcha who was more experient, expertly used his arms to parry the attacks, pushing the claws to the side of his arm to slide off. The claws only slightly nicked at his skin, showing that the gravity was slowing him down a bit, the damage was minimal, what annoyed him was the cold, making the small cut sting more.
Saibaking was getting frustrated that his physical attacks were not getting through, so he tried a different approach. He soon broke off from his enemy, leaping and flying back to land on the ground. Normally, he would have slid uncontrollably due to the lack of friction. But the claws on his feet dug into the ice to steady himself. He was using them as makeshift skates now.
The fused being snarled at his foe in hate and exclaimed "You are nothing compared to me, human! Take this!"
Opening his mouth, yellow energy soon begins to charge up, making Yamcha pause and raise his eyebrows a little. Saibaking then fired his energy technique *Mouth Energy Wave* it was powerful and it came fast like Nappa once did with Kid Gohan, but Yamcha flew out of the way, the beam impacting the ice down below which caused an explosion as the beam was strong enough to crack through the thick frozen water. Silvers of ice flew up everywhere, causing Yamcha to block his face with his arms to prevent the shards from getting into his eyes. Ice shards like that were as deadly as getting hit by nails, maybe even worse. Seeing that his foe was presently blinded, if even a little, gave the Saibaking an opening!
He surrounded himself in his aura and dived down towards him, Yamcha looked upward and ended up being hit by the purple energy body shot! He grunted as he was sent flying, smashing into some of the rocks that were covered in a thick layer of ice. Hitting the object like so, and at that speed, it would do more damage. The thick ice was a solid layer of protection, and the rock was still equally hard, so he got stunned after smashing into the natural two thick walls. He was driven further into the rock when Saibaking came again like a meteor, his head down and using it as a battering ram!
The two burst through the side, leaving an impressive hole in the side of the rock! Yamcha tumbled onto the ground, shivering slightly as he made contact with the ice and snow. But he had to roll as his enemy was now flinging energy blasts at him while cackling madly! The Z-Fighter quickly got back up and started to run, but it was tricky since the ground was more ice than snow.
*Cue: Coin For The Ferryman by Nickelback*
Snow allowed one to get a grip on the ground, but with pure ice, it was slippery and hard to get traction on without the use of specialized footwear. Yamcha did not have spikes on his feet, so he got less traction on the ground. He wanted to fly away, but the Saibaking had him pinned down from above with his attacks. The shockwave from the energy blasts that struck the ground, prevented him from focusing long enough to take flight. And even if he did, he would have been sent back to the ground due to said shockwaves causing turbulence.
Yamcha said to himself "Looks like he is becoming more and more powerful. Got to find a way to get him off my back long enough to get situated! Man...in times like this, I really wish I had Goku's Instant Transmission technique! It would come in handy about now!"
Unsheathing the sword on his back allowing the boost of power to fill the body Yamcha screams at the enemy, already with a plan.
"Hey Ugly! Catch!"
The former bandit throws his ki-cloaked weapon horizontally making it spin like a disc, the Saibaking sees it coming and dodges it without much trouble, laughing at the human for thinking that would hit him.
"Foolish human, you're getting desperate huh?"
"I wonder about that"
What the Saibaking didn't see coming was that Yamcha was controlling the sword like a Sokidan as he did many times on training, it then turned back like a boomerang and attacked the enemy once more, but since the target was no novice it felt that something wasn't right. When turning around the sword hit him...right on its horn, cutting it off and taking it by surprise. Moving his hand around all over the place, Yamcha took the chance that Saibaking was dodging his sword trying to not be cut and managed to get some great altitude by it, and when that was enough he stopped and brought it back to his hand.
"Hope you don't dislike the fact that having just one horn now makes you look asymmetrical. But you were already ugly anyway" Yamcha smirked at this act.
Passing his hand on the now missed part of his look, the Saibaking is staring daggers at Yamcha and quickly goes into a frenzy of anger so much it snarls into a gibberish of words that make no sense, forgetting a second ago that thing would actually speak. Not giving a fuck about his plan that was working just a few seconds ago, it rushes forward wanting to attack Yamcha from all possible places, wanting him to be dead meat for what he did.
Yamcha however was ready for it, by keeping his arms at an oblique angle with both hands open in straight, the former bandit keeps himself in motion at all times, the Saibaking keeps attacking, the pose preventing any blows to the head as his *360 defense from Krav Maga* is deflecting each strike down with the angle of his forearm, reducing impact. It's almost as if Yamcha was trying to get used to something by doing these risky moves.
"If you want to do better than this, you should use more power. Fighting like this with no refinement will only get you so far"
"GRAH DIE!"
When the next angry strike was about to hit, Yamcha grabbed it with his own but rather than a punch he used a joint lock technique instead of on its alien-like fingers. It made itself look like a knot and was uncomfortable.
"Shiretsu Gatame (Fire Fingers)" Yamcha smirked.
"Grrh!" The Saibaking tried to get rid of that lock but the more he struggled, the tighter the lock would get, the feeling was like getting the bones in his hand break leaving fractures.
The now hornless Saibaking was struggling to get his fingers out of the lock, wanting to pulverize into dust the one that had sheared off his horn. According to the Sayian data collected concerning the fused being long ago, the horn was considered a vital part of the Saibaking. Touching it without permission, let alone hitting it, was considered a defilement or a tantamount challenge to a death battle. And apparently, shearing the horn clean off was considered an offense to the highest degree. So it was no wonder he wanted to obliterate Yamcha.
However, it seemed that the more he tried to free himself, nothing was able to get his fingers out of the hold. Yamcha grinned and put in "What's the matter buddy? Having trouble unlocking your fingers?"
Saibaking merely growled angrily at his foe...then remembered something that caused the tall green being to smirk evilly, causing Yamcha's eyebrow to raise a little, he was thinking of attacking now that the being was having no way to take his hand off but now? Something was wrong. The de-horned green alien used his remaining free left hand, held in a knife position over his hand...and brought it down, cutting it! This caused the Desert Bandit to look surprised, which he was as his enemy had disabled himself.
He said to himself while glaring at his foe 'Why would he do that? This looks too familiar'
Saibaking grinned, then let out a yell as he regenerated his hand! The appendage came back up, covered in a thin trail of slime as the liquid dripped onto the ice below. He flexed the fingers, glad that they were now unlocked and not hurting so much.
Yamcha hovered on a level with his opponent and said to himself 'He can regenerate!? Now that is an ability I wish I had!'
Something was wrong though, after regenerating his lost limb the energy should have gone down somewhat after it, but if it did it was too small. The fused being cackled and exclaimed…
"Surprised? I can regenerate WITHOUT losing too much stamina or energy! Hahahahaha! We call it *Perfect Regeneration*, as Saibakings like me can grow back any part of our bodies in fact!" He let his actions speak for themselves as his horn gained a sheen of light...then the part that Yamcha cut off grew, replacing what was lost!
Yamcha growled, seeing that he had been led into a false sense of security by his foe. He thought 'Shit, that was supposed to slow him down, looks like this will be a little harder than I expected'
*BEEP* *BEEP*
As if on cue, the beeping is heard, much louder this time and the two can feel the environment shift once more, but that time it took them by surprise, once they were standing in front of each other on a frozen landscape now for some reason they were upside down on the sky while plummeting down. The surrounding had a more jungle-like appearance of it from the fauna, it was raining a furious downspout, lightning, and storm illuminating the sky and ear-wrecking sounds.
"Guhh!" The former bandit tries his best to stay up but the weight is pushing him down, feeling that gravity had increased more, now probably at 70G or something which was making him struggle for real now with the added weight of not only his body but his own weapon and weighted clothing.
He ends up falling into the river down below thanks to the trouble adjusting while the Saibaking fell in the middle of the trees in the forest. For just a moment there isn't any sound besides the rain coming down but the enemy quickly gets right back on top, shaking his head from that crash and staring at the River.
"You're a troublesome pest human, struggling so much rather than accepting your death. How unsettling"
Almost as if the fighter was listening to it, the water in the lake starts to vibrate and something was glowing in the depth of it, the Saibaking felt that something was coming and ducked out of the way, before a high-powered water like column is shot upwards, bringing a good portion of the lake water. Out of it came Yamcha who fell into the ground breathing in and out slowly.
Yamcha had just used *Turquoise Blue Overdrive*, it was meant to be used while underwater to release high-powered tempests of water with enough force to blast enemies away. But in this case, he just used it to escape the water, since the Gravity and the extra weight had thrown him off balance.
"I don't know what you were saying because I can't hear squat while underwater, but I bet it was rude!"
In a quick burst of speed, the enemy disappeared, and unfortunately, it was too fast for the former bandit who just t felt his left cheek being slugged by the Saibaking clenched fist like a trainwreck that was chained with a kick to the stomach. On his knees, Yamcha clutches his gut feeling the pain of the attack.
"Look at you, already tired? This is why humans are disgusting, they are weak lesser beings who need to try so hard, and for what? Enough energy to blow a simple building? Things Even the weakest of my kind would think of as being child play'' The Saibaking laughed, mentioned the green standard Saibamen having a power level of 1000, which was a lot by old standards of DBZ.
"...You...know what they say" He then stares up doing a certain motion with his hands "Your hard work will never betray you"
Yamcha's hand starts to glow golden as he combines the Ripple together with Solar flare, creating a quick yet BLINDFOLD light of pristine golden light that would blind him for more than the normal time limit, the Saibaking yelled in pain and staggers, rubbing his eyes in pain.
"Taste this! you oversized booger"
It is a scientific fact that the brain works by using electric impulses to react and instruct the body on how to move and or dodge. The neurons that run through the brain can be used in various ways.
"Tiger's Paw Strike!"
But sometimes something comes so fast that a reaction will be slow regardless. If anyone saw it they would say that the move was nothing more than a simple kick given from above the hips with no loss of the axis after a long suspension in the air. However, that sort of kick was done with such velocity that the opponent simply can't register its movement and when they do see, it is said that it's impossible to dodge. Before the Green mutation could even be aware of it, he was already on the ground after the kick hit his face, Yamcha seeing that he had just snapped his neck, turning into a mangled angle. He panted a little, his body trying to adjust for the increased gravity and his weighted clothing, which was now being increased due to the rain falling and the fabric soaking up the moisture.
The Desert Bandit turns around and starts walking "Well that solves that, man all this weight is making my muscles ache"
However, when Yamcha was going, thinking that he won, something didn't feel right, you could call it a sixth sense of danger that only those who went through battle plenty of times had, he turned around quickly, seeing that the Saibaking was no longer there. The tall green fused monster had suddenly sprung up from behind though, it appears that it had dug underground to try and take out his opponent by surprise, but Yamcha had managed to react at the time, swinging his fist at the creature, who did the same as he wanted to hit the Earthling in the back of the head.
Both knuckles collided, sending much pain through both of them before the impact forced them apart. Yamcha grimaced as he stood against his opponent, his right knuckle now bleeding to show that the attack managed to do some edged damage. Saibaking growled, his own fist also covered in his own light-green blood.
'Damn, he can also fix a snapped neck just like that? And here I thought that was an instant kill with no way to heal, shame on me'
The alien monster growled and exclaimed, "You arrogant insect! Do you think you are special? You're never gonna beat me! I am superior to you in every way!"
Yamcha merely smirked and replied "And your words are cliche! Humans don't seem to be quite able to handle otherworldly threats and we don't have any advantages like transformations or regeneration, but that doesn't mean that we'll be pushovers! So how about you shut your trap and bring it on?!"
The tall Saiba being screeched loudly and rushed in to attack, but his movements were slower and sloppy, even if he did have regeneration, that had a limit to how many times it could be used to fix more complex injuries, and he wasn't free of those just yet, the anger was taking a toll on his mentality as well, making it easier for Yamcha to predict the next move.
The scar-faced man dug his feet into the muddy ground and braced himself, blocking the hit that his foe delivered with his arms while sliding back a little. Saibaking let out another yell as he threw another punch, but this time Yamcha dodged the attack by bending over and allowing the slippery ground to help as he slid slightly backward again.
He thought 'Boy, he sure is mad. Maybe I can use this to my advantage...'
The wolf-martial artist then started to duck and weave around Saibaking as he continued to throw multiple kicks and punches, but none of them seemed to be landing their mark & also he had to exert himself more by following Yamcha as he continued to slide away from him even if it was slightly.
The human had figured something out. He was using the slippery ground to his advantage, sliding away with his movements as he continued to evade/dodge/block his opponent's attack, getting out of range frequently and forcing the Saibaking to exert more movement to try and reach him. But in doing so, he wasted energy in tracking through the thick mud and trying to land a hit. Yamcha saw that the beast was not accustomed to facing someone stronger than him and lacked combat experience and how to take more advantage of the environment when angered, so he was using it to his advantage.
Saibaking, meanwhile, was getting increasingly frustrated the more his opponent just blocked or evaded his strikes like a slippery snake. Not to mention sliding back and forcing him to tread through the thick mud to reach him.
He screeched out "What's the matter, weak human?! Not able to fight back now that I got you pinned down!?"
Yamcha merely smirked as he answered, "If you miss the sensation of my fist in your face so much then..."
He rushed in, but then did a baseball slide right underneath the legs of his foe! He got his outfit and himself messy with mud, but he didn't mind. Yamcha then grabbed the legs of his foe, pulling the surprised alien down! Saibaking was stunned by this move, soon losing his balance and falling face-first into the mud. The Desert Bandit rose up quickly, now considering his next option of attack but...Something was wrong.
When the Saibaking fell on the mud he wasn't getting up, for a moment Yamcha thought if it died with that one attack, but that wasn't the case as his ki was still there, however its body starts to vibrate almost like it had lost control of its limbs. Suddenly though a pillar of energy rose up from where the alien stood taking Yamcha by surprise, sensing a lot of his energy increasing, the burst of raw power was such that it dissipated the rain and clouds like it controlled nature.
"What in the name of kami?"
Yamcha had to close his eyes for a moment but when now there was a chance to look at it straight, he saw that his opponent was standing still but with a few changes to its body, it had a much more animalistic look of rage in its face, almost like a wild dog with rabis foaming from its mouth, its eyes glowing blood red and his muscles bulging out to exaggerated proportions, the cape had been destroyed too.
"Geez! Someones feeding the plants steroids" The situation was not looking good, but he still joked about it.
A\N: Sorry for making this to be a two-part but if I kept going the chapter would become too big, but also because Im taking longer to post stuff and felt like giving you guys more to see much sooner so here, enjoy it.
