The sky rumbled and roared as dozens of azure blue lightning bolts rained down from the heavens, with me smirking as I directed them all at Mechikabura floating in the air.
However, the Glind smirked as he lifted the water around him like a barrier before redirecting tendrils of it towards the sea below, to which I frowned as the clones and I clenched our fists and made the lightning explode the moment it touched the liquid.
A series of bright explosions made the air ripple as Mechikabura was obscured by the steam, but I knew that wasn't enough and to no one's surprise, it cleared to reveal him floating in the air.
While having no visible wounds or scratches on his face, there was no hiding the slightly singed right sleeve of his that was most likely the last thing he protected from the explosion.
The Glind frowned for a brief moment as he looked at his sleeve before smirking as he looked back up at me and we all readied ourselves as he smirked and lifted his cane to point it at me.
Within the blink of an eye, the smoke around him solidified before shooting out as jagged spikes in all direction, the clones and I quickly creating barriers to block him off.
However, my eyes widened as he shifted the spikes to a gaseous state to slip it through the barriers' gaps before turning back into solid spikes the moment they touched our skin.
"Kai Kai!" Right as I felt numerous spikes pricking my skin, I was gone and far away from the fight as I watched my clones being ripped to pieces in the blink of an eye while Mechikabura floated closer with an amused smile.
'He's an annoyance to deal with.' I thought with a grumble as I floated in the air, my arms at my side as I watched the smoke around him gather into a small ball that floated at his side as Mechikabura spoke.
"Do you have any other tricks or gimmicks that could amuse me, young Cell? While your usage of ki and magic are quite impressive for someone of your age, you are but merely imitating the skills of those that you've absorbed. You have not actually trained to use them." He spoke with a smirk and I frowned at that before my frown turned a smile as I nodded.
Oh, is that so?
'Fine then. Let's hit him with the good ol' Buu special.' I thought with a smirk as I shifted into Piccolo's stance, watching as the man rolled his eyes when my ki erupted from my form with a loud roar.
'Instant Transmission. Kai Kai.' The next, I was gone as two of me appeared on both sides of Mechikabura with a fist pulled back, the man quickly moving his smoke into a bubble around him right as both my bodies slammed a punch into the shield.
Immediately, our fists tore right through it as we delivered a vicious hook to both sides of the surprised Glind's head, but we frowned as our fists went through him while I felt his presence appear outside the smoke.
Swinging our arms around to clear the smoke, our eyes widened at the numerous Mechikabura clones floating in the air, each of them holding a hand out that was holding a swirling vortex made out of dark purple energy.
"Darkness Judgement." The sky cried as the Mechikaburas unleashed literal hell upon our bodies, both my bodies feeling the burning sensation of ki ripping through our bodies.
I was ever so thankful for the fact that my body was that of Majin Buu now as there was no need to rapidly shift my core around, but I also didn't know how long Dabura could fight against Demigra.
'From the looks of his energy, Dabura is managing to hold his own against Demigra's magic, but I don't want to risk anything happening.' I thought with a frown as my left body held out a hand and the right one nodded as it grasped it.
The next, my two bodies fused into one once more as I appeared behind one of the Mechikabura, the others swiftly turning around while the one in front of me began to glow as his ki grew erratic.
However, I smirked as I snapped my fingers and sealed us off from the outside world in a cube of air, another snap of my fingers creating sparks all around us before a devastating explosion shook the cube and incinerated everything inside of it.
Everything except for myself and one Mechikabura who was now looking at me with a frown, his hands gripping his cane before I smirked as I saw the slight perspiration on his forehead.
'Good. He's getting weaker.' With another Kai-Kai,I was in front of the Glind and lashed out at his neck, to which he surprised me as he parried the blow with his cane while ki gathered behind him in the form of a swirling vortex made out of dark energy.
"Darkness Judgement." This time, instead of blasts shooting out of the vortex like I was expecting, my eyes widened as a ring of violet energy appeared above me the moment I leapt away.
Quickly creating a shield above me stopped the rain of ki blasts from tearing me apart as Mechikabura sliced his cane through the air and I ducked under the energy slash he sent my way before unleashing my own.
He simply held a hand up and froze it midair, a frown adorning my face as he held his cane up to me and I felt my body locking up with paralysis right as he returned the ki slash and shattered my shield.
Unfortunately for him, I was not one to just have that happen to me as I ripped away his hold on me while slapping my ki slash upwards, not caring for the arm it tore off as I simply regrew it while blasting towards Mechikabura.
The Glind frowned as he created numerous sigils around him before unleashing torrents of flames, but I roll and spun around each of them as I flew up high.
The next, I was gone and right besides Mechikabura with my leg raised high and as he went to create a shield to block it, I grinned as I swung my leg down while making it bend around the shield.
The split second look of shock on the Glind's face felt almost as wonderful as the feeling of my heel slamming into his shoulder and sending him crashing into the water below, his shield shattering with the force of the blow as I felt his energy surging.
As I went to attack, my eyes widened as I felt Dabura's energy rapidly flying towards me, spinning around and catching his body before cursing as I felt Demigra appearing right besides Mechikabura.
Looking down at the Demon King, I winced at the numerous cuts and dark bruises I could see on his body as well as the broken leg, but a quick flex of my healing magic and the demon's eyes snapped open as he looked around only to curse as he saw me.
"I'm guessing he won?"
"From the looks of it, you put up one hell of a fight." I said as we watched Mechikabura and Demigra appear from a dark violet wormhole that was sparking with energy.
I stared at Mechikabura's left shoulder hanging loosely as well as the swollen eye that Demigra had along with the jagged bleeding cut on his left side and the stone right arm, Dabura smirking proudly as Demigra frowned and scoffed.
"So, you have the healing arts of the Kais as well. Why am I not surprised?"
"I do. However, I can see Dabura's magic is keeping its hold on you." I said with a smirk while nodding at his right arm that had turned to stone, to which the demon snorted before both Dabura and I were shocked by Mechikabura reaching to the side and stabbing his arm right through Demigra's chest.
"M-Master?" Even Demigra seemed surprised by his master's actions, but he was not given an answer as a potent and malicious aura erupted from him while a pained scream escaped his lips.
Not wasting time, I was in front of the two with a Death Saucer in one hand and a Death Cannon in the other, both attacks slicing through the air only for copies of the exact same two attacks to cancel them out.
"Did you believe that I had some form of affection for you, Demigra? I do thank you for releasing me from my prison, but it is time for you to join the eternal darkness as a Demon God!" With Mechikabura's shout, I quickly teleported away as hundreds of ki beams shot out in all directions, each filled with enough energy to at least take me out for a seconds if not longer.
"I do believe this is what those from the Outside World refer to as…we're fucked." Dabura spoke and I couldn't help my snort even as I watched the monstrous form of Demigra ripping away the pillar of ki that surrounded him.
Now far larger than he was before, Demigra looked like a bipedal demonic dragon as he had huge black horns on both shoulders and his head as well as dark blue scales covering the entirety of his body with white scales covering his chest, abdomen, palms and the underside of the large tail swaying behind him.
"Hehe~ Hahahaha~ Ahahahahaha!" Unlike his usual regal and commanding tone, Demigra sounded unhinged as he let loose a torrent of energy that shook the world around us, his long hair swaying in the wind as he gave both Dabura and I a manic grin.
"If you wish to stop me, I would advise stopping him first." Mechikabura spoke as he teleported away and as I went to teleport after him, my eyes widened as a dark violet wormhole opened in front of me.
The next moment, I barely ducked under the clawed hand trying to crush my skull as Demigra pulled his arm from the wormhole when Dabura tried cutting it off.
"Hahaha~! You two shall be the first to taste my new power!" He growled and I quickly crossed my arms in a guard as he vanished and appeared in front of me with a fist pulled back.
A gargling cough escaped my lips as the demon had teleported his punch through a wormhole mid-attack to make it slam into my chest and knock the wind out of me.
I was so glad that I did not have any bones as I could feel his fist touching my upper back from the inside before the force of his punch caught up, feeling myself be sent ragdolling through the air.
He, however, was not done as I felt his energy rapidly shifting around me, forcing my body to move and spin around his first attack before I tanked his second and parried his third.
The fourth was a punch to my head but I simply ducked under it while landing my own high kick to the side of his face, the blow sending him stumbling back slightly right as Dabura flew down and landed feet first on his chest.
Watching as the Demon King pushed his fellow demon rightly into the water, an Instant Transmission brought me directly besides Dabura before I pulled the both of us away with a Kai-Kai.
Watching as the water filled in the hole left by the force of Dabura's stomp, I frowned as we watched Demigra ascending from the water with no wounds whatsoever.
"Freeze." As I went to charge up a Special Beam Cannon, my mind panicked as I felt my body froze in place and this time, I could only move a few centimeters before a beam shot right through my chest up into the air.
However, the beam did not disappear or explode as I expected. Instead, it just sat there and continuously burned me from the inside out, but I was unable to do anything as it felt as if my body was stuck in severely heavy gravity.
Moments later, even more shot through me and froze in place just like the first as Demigra appeared from a wormhole in front of me, a look of sadistic amusement dancing in his eyes as he grinned and snapped his fingers.
"Resume." The moment he released his spell, I could hear Dabura calling out my name as the dozens of ki blasts exploded, my entire body burned away within moments as I felt my consciousness fading away…
Right before a roar echoed in the air as I pulled the atoms of my body back together and glared at Demigra, who looked surprised as I rushed forward and slammed a vicious blow against his chest.
"Kaio-ken x 10!" I roared as I rushed after the soaring Demon God before delivering a powerful knee strike to his back, the blow making it warp over my knee right before the attack sent him rocketing upwards.
"Kai-Kai! Kai-Kai! Instant Transmission! Instant Transmission! Kai-Kai!" I spammed every teleportation move I could think of as my punches and kicks rained down upon Demigra from all directions.
He tried to freeze time again, but a burst of my own ki and magic together shattered the spell right as I landed another punch to his skull, Dabura not too far behind as he leapt over my shoulder and gave the Demon God a shallow cut from left shoulder to right hip.
Demigra let out a pained and angered cry at that as he reached through two wormholes and while I ducked under the one coming for me, Dabura wheezed as a fist flew from his and made him cough up spittle.
The force of the blow shook the air as the Demon King was sent flying back, but I didn't get much time to try and help as Demigra was on me moments later.
Jumping over the leg sweep and floating back to avoid the rising knee, Demigra spun and tried to land a wide hook, but I slid under the attack while landing my own hook to his chest.
Leaping upwards and capturing his arm as he felt the blow reverberating throughout his body, a roar of agony came from Demigra as I slammed my knee upwards and shattered his elbow.
However, he didn't get time to worry about that pain as Dabura shot back and landed a lariat to his throat, his sword coming around and delivering a shallow slash into one of his shoulder horn right as I spun through the air and landed a monstrous heel kick that sent the monster far into the distance.
"Let's go." Dabura spoke and I nodded as I grabbed his shoulder, the two of us appearing above Demigra right as he managed to spin around and glared at where we previously were.
As we dove down to attack, I found myself falling deep into the water a moment later right before I found myself in pain as a punch slammed into my chest and knocked the wind out of me.
The next moment, Dabura wheezed as I was used as a hammer to sent both of us flying upwards and the next, I groaned as I was floating in the water while Dabura was held up at the throat by a grinning and bleeding Demigra.
Forcing myself to move through the pain, I was surprised to find myself already in front of Demigra right as he landed a vicious jab to my face that disoriented me, but I quickly moved to the side and barely got clipped by his clawed foot trying to cut me in half.
'Is he…? There's no way, right?' I thought with a frown as I teleported, but this time, I appeared besides the falling Dabura and healed him right as a storm of ki bullets descended upon us, teleporting away once more.
Appearing near one of the Krakens that were knocked out by the shockwaves of our attacks, I groaned as I saw Demigra unleashing a wide-area blast, before he looked surprised to see us standing far away from him.
'The bastard knows Time-Skip too?! Oh, this is going to be hell to counter.' As far as I can remember, being frozen by Time Skip can be avoided if one's powers up, but other than Kaio-ken, I didn't have any other moves to draw out more power.
'Actually…' I blinked as I remembered that there was one move I could use, looking up to see Demigra glaring down at us right as Dabura stood up with a grumble and a shake of his head.
"I hate those damn time abilities."
"Me too, but I think I figured out a way to help us fight him." I spoke and instead of answering at Dabura's curious gaze, I placed my hand on his head before pulling on the memories of the one Namekian that I've been ignoring.
Immediately, Dabura's eyes widened as his scarlet aura appeared around him and erupted in power exponentially, the water under us being pushed away for miles as I grinned at the Demon King's shocked look.
"How does it feel to have your dormant powers unlocked?"
"Is…is that what you did?"
"Yes. Now, I have a qu-!" I teleported us away and into the air right as Demigra slammed down upon us, not even caring for the gaping hole in my chest from where the Demon God had gotten a blow in while I moved Dabura out of the way.
"-estion! Can I absorb you?"
"…Say what?!" He exclaimed and I rolled my eyes even as I teleported us far away again, this time higher up into the sky as I watched Demigra trying to look for us.
"Look, I can take out that bastard, but I assume you don't want the entire Second Demon World to be destroyed, correct?"
"…Will you let me free afterwards?"
"If I can, yes."
"All right! I swear, if you absorb me permanently, I will rip you apart from the inside." He growled and I rolled my eyes even as I teleported him and only my head away, the sensation of my body enveloping Demigra a bit weird as the Demon God skipped time again and appeared above us.
However, it was too late as my head stretched out to form a gum-like blanket and enveloped Dabura, the Demon King not fighting it as I felt his energy, body and presence being fused with my form.
"Hahaha~! Ahahahaha! Demigra!" I roared as I flipped backwards to avoid Demigra's attack while delivering an overhead kick to his skull, Dabura's cape flapping away in the wind behind me as I had his sword firmly in my grasp.
Watching as my attack sent the Demon God skipping across the water, I grinned as I went into Dabura's exact stance while unleashing my energy.
"It is time for you to die!" I exclaimed before vanishing, the Kaio-Ken roaring to life around me as I shrugged off Demigra's Time-Skipwhile cutting deep into his chest.
A pained roar escaped his lips as he skipped time once more, but I grinned as I spun around and sliced into the back of his wrist before making my sword vanish as I grabbed both of his wrists.
Demigra tried his best to rip his arms away, but I grinned as I tightened my grip enough to break his wrists before I spat out an iridescent beam of energy right into his face.
"Cookie." I spoke with a grin and watched as Demigra's eyes widened right before he was obscured by a cloud of smoke, pulling my hands back as I felt him vanish before grinning at the sight of the large Demigra-shaped cookie floating in front of me.
I didn't give him any time to figure out what was happening as I grabbed him in a telekinetic grip before biting off his entire upper body in one gulp, the strawberry filling dripping out from the lower body looking eerily similar to blood before I ignored it as I chewed up the biscuits in my mouth.
It took me a few minutes, especially with how much the biscuit was fighting back, but I finally felt the energy inside of it being drained into my body as I swallowed, eating up the lower half of the cookie as well.
The next moment, I gagged and spat out a jawbreaker before it shifted back into Dabura, making me feel a bit disappointed at the cool cloak that vanished before I grinned as he gave me a disgusted look.
"We did it!"
"…Never…again…"
A/N: And this chapter is done~! The next chapter is back to the Outside World where its Commanders vs Commanders~!
Also, like Cell said, blowing up the Second Demon World to win would have been the easy way out, but since Dabura didn't want that, they had to figure out a new way to beat Demigra.
Hence, Candy Beam, which I completely forgot about so thank you everyone who reminded me.
Also, like I said, Cell likes fighting, but if he can figure out a way to end the fight early, he will use it.
Like always, you can go to my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read ahead on this as well as many other stories & even some that haven't been released out to this site yet. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.
As always, read, enjoy, review and until next week...
