Alright sorry for the late chapter I think I had writers block I had the arc planned but then some of it didn't make sense so I had to change it a bit, not too much though, hopefully I've changed it for the better but we'll see if you still enjoy it I hope you will.
Unending Calamity
Lapis crashed against a boulder, he growled as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked terrified but not of his opponent, no he was terrified of that energy he was sensing. Daburack survived and he's on the move. What happened to 16?
Kugo looked down at his shattered blade, he was proud of it like any swordsman. He then looked down at the fallen saiyan's blade next to his leg. He let go of his sword, grabbed the hilt of the other blade and pulled it out.
"Hmm broader than my own but I can get used to it." He smiled at Lapis and kept walking. The terror on his face was easy to see. "Never thought a machine could know fear, I guess Daburack has that effect."
The cyborg didn't say any of his usual comebacks, instead he decided to finish this now. He rose his right arm. "Photon Geyser!"
"Wha-" He felt the ground shake looked down to see cracks and yellow energy appeared from beneath his feet he screamed as the energy took him upward.
Lapis got out of his rock and flew up as the blast went up. 'Have to finish him off now!' He was above the Hera being blasted up, he grabbed the sword out of his hand and stabbed through Kugo.
The blast then detonated against Kugo's back, he had a blade through his heart and was burnt in the back.
The hera smiled. "You" He coughed blood. "You've won this, but you know you're dead."
"Look who's talking." Lapis pushed Kugo letting his body drop and fell to the ground against the sand. He then focused on the powerful energy heading for him. "Can't run without getting caught."
He flew down and hid behind a boulder hoping that Kugo wasn't alive and saw him.
Daburack stopped in air and looked down to see his Galaxy Soldier on the ground looking the worse for wear. He floated down to look down at his subordinate, he didn't look angry or disappointed after all he expected this outcome. It was only a matter of time before Zangya would meet her fate as well.
"L-Lord Daburack, h-he's still here." He looked up afraid. "The black haired one."
"Good" The fusion looked around at the many boulders in the desert. "Did you test my theory?"
Lapis behind the boulder heard that. 'Theory?'
Kugo's eyes widened. "N-no my lord, the android never even attempted to hide before he injured me, so there was n- no need to test it out."
Daburack growled, he immediately wanted to torture him for not at least testing his idea but sighed, there was no time for this. "It can't be helped, can you move?"
The swordsman pushed against the sand but fell back down, his species may be able to survive fatal wounds that killed most humanoids, not to mention the Majin spell keeps him able to fight, but his body was too charred from the last attack that android did. "I- I can't"
That was expected. "Oh well." He aimed one hand down at his minion.
Kugo's eyes widened. "M-master n-no!"
"Do not fret Kugo, if she is as skilled as I remember you will be welcomed back under my command."
"S-she?"
"You will know soon enough." Red energy glowed from the fusion's palm. "For now consider this" He fired ending his minion's life. "a vacation."
Lapis saw how he killed his own soldier but kept quiet. 'She? Who's he talking about? That woman in his gang? No, he talked as if he would come back to life, so whoever he's talking about must be able to do that. It would make more sense if he was talking about the dragon balls, but who's she?'
Daburack looked around. "It's a shame he wasn't able to test my method, perhaps I should have gone for Zangya instead." He looked around seeing a lot of rock and sand in the area. "Oh well I'll test it myself."
The fusion flew upward and looked down at the desert. "Android! I will find you and add you to my collection!"
Lapis said nothing only hoping that he wouldn't just destroy the entire area, he wouldn't survive any attack just from sensing the energy this monster was giving off.
Daburack put one hand down, and many Phsyco Threads spread all over the area as far as they can see. 'Like fishing.'
(-)-(-)-
The forest had a huge trail of land as remnants from the beam clash.
Lazuli was on the ground her jacket was gone her clothes with various
Zangya floated down and stopped in front of the injured cyborg. "Hello raggedy Anne, don't you look the worse for wear."
The blonde said nothing only remained unconscious.
The alien merely walked closer and smiled. "I never was gentle playing with dolls."
She rose one arm filled it with green energy and aimed it.
Lazuli swept kicked Zangya making her blast go another direction destroying another part of the forest.
Zangya only looked shock before receiving a fist to her face sending her crashing through multiple trees until it crashed into a boulder, her eyes were wide with pain then darkness claimed her. One of her fingers flicked.
The cyborg winced in pain, she has infinite energy of course she's not tired. But she was bleeding and some broken bones all over her body. She fell to one knee trying to stay conscious. "What was the point of pain receptors. Seems like an intentional design… flaw." She fell to the ground unable to summon the strength to stay conscious, the damage was simply too much for her to bear. 'Lapis….. have to…' It was the last thing she thought before closing her eyes.
(-)-(-)-
Daburack was floating and smiling as he looked down.
Lapis looked ahead at some more boulders big enough to hide behind and they were nearby. He looked to see that Daburack was looking another direction and quickly moved to it.
One of the fusions fingers dragged down, he grinned and fired a beam in the direction it pulled.
The beam struck Lapis's left shoulder, he fell down and screamed from the burning pain. 'H-he found me?!' He slowly turned his head to the see the monster standing in front of him.
Daburack sees Lapis trembling and grins. He had an urge to play with his prey after all he killed the kai's teleporter and destroyed the android that troubled him the most.
But he remembered how wounded he was last time he played.
No, there will not be any playing now. He vanished and appeared in front of Lapis.
A green barrier surrounded Lapis.
"Hmm?" Daburack stopped his strike and touched the barrier it's quite dense. "Delaying the inevitable?"
Lapis didn't answer he kept a casual face the one he uses when he knows he's outmatched. He'll have to keep the barrier up and hope his sister can reach him or better yet get to her. They will need to resort to fusion.
Daburack kicked the barrier upward.
Lapis in his barrier sees cracks in his shield and quickly replenishes it if the barrier goes down he's finished.
The fusion flew up and punched the barrier he flickered to where it was going next and struck. It looked like a deadly game of pinball in the air.
Lapis did his best to refill the cracks on the barrier concentrating as hard as he could. But there was a massive hole in his shield and Daburack appeared in front of it.
The cyborg quickly tried to repair the barrier but was struck in the face sending him downward shattering what was left of the barrier and fell.
He hit the ground crashing through the desert creating a crater the size of a stadium. He tried to get up but Daburack slammed a foot in the center of his chest. Blood spat out of his mouth from the force.
Daburack looked down at the android. "Now you will be a part of my collection and I will have eliminated 3 of my shames."
Lapis couldn't keep his cool facade groaning and pain. "T-three?"
The evil's grin turned into a malicious smile. "Of course, the saiyan, then the biggest of you androids."
He didn't make an expression, but he was stunned, 16 was gone, that must have been the burst of energy he felt a bit ago.
Daburack chuckled but shook his head. "And now you." He opened his mouth about to spit.
But he was struck in the face, wasn't hard but had enough force to knock him away and create a trail of sand from where he was struck.
'Hmm Zangya's energy hasn't fallen too low.' The fusion thought then stopped and looked to the offender. "What?"
16 brought a hand down Lapis took it and was helped up.
"16 I thought you we're-"
"No time." He interrupted as he pushed Lapis and jumped back as an energy blast missed them and destroyed a nearby mountain.
They looked to Daburack who wore an angry expression.
"How are you here?" He seethed. "I destroyed you."
16 ignored him and looked to Lapis. "Can you move?"
Lapis still felt the sting of the attacks on his abdomen and cheek. His vision was groggy from them. "Yeah"
"Good" 16 eyed Daburack making sure he wouldn't try anything. "I will be able to fight him, my power core is generating enough strength to last him, but I need time to be able to fight him one on one."
Lapis rose an eyebrow. "You are asking me to distract him?" Normally he wouldn't mind but this freak is on a different level.
"No to help me distract him as I gain power." 16 instructed. "We will make a barrier together and buy time."
"Say what?" Lapis was confused this plan didn't make sense, he'll just be destroyed as he's getting more energy, he remembered Bulma's explanation that gathering too much power will destroy 16.
"Trust me." 16 looked at Daburack. "He won't give me time to explain."
The cyborg nodded and eyed their enemy.
"Both if you will be destroyed now!" Daburack charged at them as Lapis and 16 make a barrier together.
(-)-(-)-
Lazuli's eyes opened wide and she jumped up only to be greeted by a familiar face. "Oh, it's you."
Dende stood wiped some sweat off his brow. "Yes, it was a good thing I was able to see you, I thought whoever was fighting the energy here would need healing."
She nodded her thanks. "I'll need to be going now."
"What are you going to do though?" The guardian asked.
"To fuse with Lapis."
He knew the stakes and didn't argue. "Very well, I promise we'll do everything we can to find a way to separate you."
She didn't say anything and flew fast to get to her brother.
The young namekien got on his nimbus cloud but then felt a chill down his spine.
(-)-(-)-
Daburack threw relentless attacks at the joined force field but it's shape repaired itself over and over. On top of that it seemed to repair faster even when he fired attacks that can destroy the planet if they weren't focused and aimed away.
Lapis eyed the brute he had to be careful, he wasn't sure if he could take another hit from him today.
16 then stopped putting his energy into the barrier.
The black-haired cyborg's eyes widened. "16 what are you doing?"
"Enough time has passed."
"16 I thought that if you used too much energy you could destroy your own body."
"That was before." 16 eyed Daburack who was having trouble controlling his temper. "Release the barrier."
Daburack charged at them.
Lapis let go of the barrier and sees a punch go straight through 16's head. His pupils shook and his hair went up from the force of the attack.
16's headless body dropped to the ground.
Daburack looked at Lapis and rose his hand. "Now the e-"
16's hand gripped the demon hera's leg with a lot of strength. The body then stood and tossed the fusion across the sandy landscape.
The cyborg's jaw dropped at the headless 16. "What but ho-"
The android's neck area grew wires that connected quickly until the head was completely there again.
"Whoa"
"With this new upgrade I will be able to buy you time to get to your sister." The android stated and turned back to see Daburack standing back up with veins covering his face.
Daburack did his best to calm himself breathing through his nose and out the mouth. Sadly, he couldn't calm down because of this unyielding rage! "First of all what… second the fuck!" He sees the android there with its head completely intact. 'So that is how it is still functioning.'
16 got into a fighting stance and kept his eye on the fusion.
"16 are you sure?"
The android didn't turn his head. "Why? Are? You? Still? Here?"
Lapis wanted to argue more but knew the android was right it was best to escape now, his mechanical counterpart will be able to hold his own with his new power core and apparent upgrade. "Right" The cyborg flew in the direction he may find his sister.
"Head northeast fly above any terrain so you can see her!"
"Got it!" Lapis yelled and flew off.
Daburack flew in the direction Lapis was headed he wasn't letting any of these thorns escape. But then 16 appeared in front of him he looked surprised at this.
16 threw a punch down on Daburack's head sending him down on the sand ground and created a huge crater. The android looked down at his arm, the hand was destroyed from the force of the impact, the wires started reconnecting and it was as good as new.
The demon hera stood back up holding his head, his vision was groggy, the speed the android had was surprising, the force behind the android's attack was even more so it actually hurt this was the second time he felt pain!
'Clockwork Acceleration pause.' The android knows that he can increase his power further and he'll regenerate from whatever damage he'll cause, however he can't just fall apart every time he attacks. He was warned that if he forces his power core to generate too much energy he'll likely slow down his self-repair function. And that is not an option against this opponent.
Daburack powered up a green aura with a black outline surrounded him the desert shook, desert storms formed around his might and the planet itself shook.
16's scanners were going haywire, this power is unprecedented. This must be his true power, didn't give him long enough to interfere either. Thankfully it isn't too far ahead of his own strength right now. This will be a battle between a well armored tank and a glass cannon that can regenerate. He'll just need to stall again.
The demon hera flew forward and kicked only for it to be ducked.
The robot threw a punch to his chest sending him forward, he then chased and threw multiple punches at his chest across the desert. Then slammed a foot downward across the fusion's chest sending him to the ground again.
The android stopped and looked at what was left of his arms, they were wires connecting again.
Daburack flew straight up and grabbed 16's fusion spun around multiple times and let go of the android .
As 16 was about to crash against a mountain he looked at Daburack and fired energy from his eyes.
Daburack saw the blasts and ducked it hit his forehead on his 'M'. He growled in pain and refrained from touching his forehead he will not be seen as weak. Must have tried to blind him.
The mohawked android crashed through the mountain and it collapsed as he shot through it like a bullet through shooting practice paper. He slowly got up and sees the fusion above.
Daburack breathed in and opened his mouth. His Fire Breath came out.
The android rolled out of the way as the flames hit the the plateau that was once a mountain. He then ducked under a kick to his head and threw a kick of his own in Daburack's stomach.
The fusion's eyes shook spittle came out.
16 then grabbed Daburack's head and slammed his face into his knee twice. Then he brought him above his head and flew downward with his hand in his face and slammed him in to the desert ground.
The android detects that his knees are damaged he better find a way to knock this monster out, he puts his arms under his forearms to do his ultimate attack. "Hell Flash!"
The blasters fire and hit Daburack sending him deeper and deeper underground the explosion was gigantic enough to be seen from space.
16 scans for any sign of life suprised that his power wasn't there, his scanners detected him, he turned around and was punched in the abdomen a hand was now in it he looked down at Daburack's smiling face though it was covered in blood and burnt marks so some of his attack wounded him.
"Come back from this!" He fired energy into the hole 16's body began to glow, and red energy exploded turning his body into nothing but nuts, bolts and wires.
Daburack looked at the remnants of the once great android that was able to wound him, he wanted to laugh and just scream in joy. But there was no time, he had an android to chase. He looked to the direction where the android flew, he can't sense its energy, oh well he may as well try to catch up to it, he remembered this android told him the direction to meet the other one. He flew as fast as he could for the first time since he was created.
(-)-(-)-
Lapis kept flying and he sees a tiny dot flying towards him. He smiled it's his sister! "Hey!" He then felt someone chasing him, someone very fast.
Lazuli felt it too, they were a couple hundred yards away from each other, they just have to get close enough. She took out her potara earring and began putting it on.
Her brother did the same and kept flying in her direction.
The twins were getting close just a little closer, then put on the earrings and they can finally end this!
But Daburack is already close Lapis thanks to his superior speed he aimed his hand ready to fire.
And again, was interrupted by 16 kicking the fusion in the face sending them downward into a grassy plain.
'Yes! Now to end this!' Lazuli thought as the potara glowed.
'It'll be over soon!' Lapis thought as his potara opened but he then looked surprised.
Daburack slowly got up from the ground he turned around to see the red head with a frown. This android is harder to destroy than he thought. This time he'll make sure every scrap is melted down to nothing.
16 looked down at the fusion and actually smiled. "It is now too late, you will be destroyed."
The fusion said nothing only smirked. "Really? Well before I what other plan you had, you should look at your fellow android."
16 said nothing only turned around to see Lapis and Lazuli being pulled together.
After Lazuli was at a certain range she felt herself going faster the earring on her right ear started glowing and went in her brother's direction who wore the other earring. This was it, this may be permanent however it now the only option to stop Daburack. She looks at her brother who is also guided by an invisible force. But her eyes widened.
Lapis yanked the potara earring off, he didn't even take it off he just pulled down threw his left year making a bleeding cut corner down it.
Her earring stopped glowing and the force guiding her was gone, she stopped right in front of her brother. She didn't say anything for a few seconds and looked at her brother who wore the blank face he usually wore when he tried to keep his cool.
(-)-(-)-
In hell Trunks gave a shocked expression but didn't say anything, while Vegeta just looked even angrier.
"That careless moron!" Vegeta yelled not believing it was this android that was the end of him.
(-)-(-)-
"Why?" She glared. "Put your damn earring on! This is no time for-" She stopped when she spotted something spreading from his back.
16 looked with terrified awe.
Daburack chuckled.
Lapis looked down not surprised to see his stomach turning to stone and spreading from his back. "He must have gotten me right before 16 knocked him down." He looked down at Daburack who wore the wicked grin.
"No" Lazuli looked at her brother, and the planet's hope for survival.
Lapis quickly tossed the earring to her sister who caught it. "I'm sorry sister." The stone spread until it engulfed his entire body he then started falling but she caught him and floated downward with him until they were at the ground.
She hugged the statue looking very distraught. "Lapis!"
Now fusion is not an option.
Well looks like they should have gone for fusion in the first place. Now our team is down to two and Daburack is as strong as ever. Who knows what'll happen now. Besides me of course.
Now I know I kinda build up the sibling fusion for a while now but hey Akira liked to do the opposite of what fans expect and I like to follow that path with my own twists. I have something planned, and when it happens feel free to judge it with all your opinions. You may be disappointed with not seeing Lapizuli, Lazis, Android 35, or Android 17.5 but I'm trying to do something else because it was expected kinda like I did with killing off Buu.
That said let me know how you feel now, any predictions, disappointed with this chapter or anything else. I welcome all judgement.
Now review responses.
FF8cerebus: A little less than two weeks, it's been a little more than a week since Trunks's death so they would need to gather the dragonballs and avoid Daburack for a while and hope he doesn't destroy the planet. Thank you now though I might have gone overboard with making things interesting what do you think?
shadowwriter01: Yes he does and I feel like I overstated that for several chapters, he has earned his role as the main villain of the arc.
AxDevilman: And now the odds are even worse, their fusion is no longer an option unless they can find a way to turn him back to normal or if 16 is able to kill him.
SuperSaiyajin4: Yup another upgrade from the great Bulma Briefs, sadly it doesn't change his durability but now he has some chance against Daburack now. I'll be making things more epic soon hope I didn't dissapoint in this chapter!
Alright guys as usual if you liked what you've read so far please, fav, follow and review. And I'll see you all in the next chapter!
Have an awesome day!
