Dealing with Death (complete) 45x gravity

[Deleted]

“Computer, forty times gravity!” Drexx felt the added weight and tried to adjust for it, but still dropped to a knee. He forced himself to his feet against the strain of the gravity and his weights. He was getting better at counteracting the gravitational pull and with more and more experience in gravity training Drexx felt his android body adjusting more and more.

Looks like you’re finally getting the hang of this. Tara said materializing next to the android. She had a smirk on her face. Drexx knew why it was there, she had kicked the crap out of him the last time he had trained in the gravity chamber and he knew what she was about to ask.

Care to go another round? She asked, looking up at him with teasing eyes. He laughed and rolled his eyes.

“You kicked my ass last time. We both know what’s going to happen if we go toe-to-toe again.” He fell to his face and began to do push-ups, slowly at first and then faster, quickly pumping out more and more.

Meanie… She pretended to pout and walked over to the console. Out of the corner of his eye Drexx noticed a red light flashing on the corner.

“Tara…? What’s that light?” Drexx asked concerned, he got to his feet and began to walk over to where she was standing.

Dr—exxxxxxxxxxxxxxx--- ru----nnn-. Tara’s form began to flicker in and out, her voice straining and repeating. She looked up scared, and Drexx’s eyes grew wide. He felt a familiar sensation as all of his senses were filled with static. He hit the floor before he knew what was happening.

Once again he woke up in a shadowy world, ash filled the air. The gravity was still enhanced, telling Drexx he was still in the gravity chamber, just like had happened before. This time people were running and screaming, pushing past Drexx and running away. Drexx looked around; they were in a city, Saru city to be exact. Buildings were smoking, holes ripped through them by some unseen force. Drexx stood staring at the crowd’s around them, slowly waiting until they dispersed.

“What they hell am I doing here…?” Drexx walked towards where they had run from, if they were bothering to run from something, it was something that Drexx needed to attend to. Drexx started to sprint towards where the crowd was coming from. He began to notice craters in the ground, though there were no bodies.

A shadowy form whirled out from an alley. It swirled around Drexx in a tornado-like form. Its voice sounded like leaves rustling in the wind, it didn’t have a discernible face, but a mouth appeared in its form as it spoke.

“Why have you come?” It asked as it spun, not causing any harm to Drexx, but Drexx could tell that if wanted to it could. Drexx wasn’t sure how to answer the question, he had been forced here by unseen forces; probably another virus of Benjin’s programming planted unseen into Drexx during the torture and slipping through Drexx into the gravity chamber.

“I don’t know the reason, but if you’re harming those people I’ll put a stop to you.” Drexx assumed a fighting stance, the shadow-tornado creature shifted away from Drexx into the street in front of him. It silently assumed the form of a humanoid, solidifying until it was no longer shadow, but a pale tall Saiyan. He had black hair and black lips. His eyes were surrounded by black eyeliner matching his long black flowing robe. A scythe appeared in his hand, along with a smirk on his face.

“You assume you can stop me? I am become death. I am legion. I am the reaper.” His voice changed from the rustle of leaves to the growl of a wolf.

“You’re death? As in The Death?” Drexx raised an eyebrow, and Death nodded with a sly smile on his face.

“I am Death. You are in my domain. This is my world. You are an intruder.” He raised his scythe and pointed it at Drexx.

“I have been here before.” Drexx stated matter-of-factly. Death looked confused, cocking an eyebrow and titling his head slightly.

“What do you mean?”

“I have been here before. I’m not sure how else to say that. Some-time ago I was transported to a similar realm, it was a virus in the system of my gravity chamber created by my creator Benjin. He made me fight those that I had killed in the past.” Death looked very confused as Drexx told his tale of his previous venture into his realm.

“You are not lying, though I cannot see how this is possible. Though there are more deaths than I, and more afterlives.” Death shrugged, then shook his head and pointed his scythe at Drexx. Drexx took a step back. “You are still an intruder in my realm, and twice-fold at that. I have no choice but to kill you.”

“I would swear that you had other choices than that. Like let me go for one. I mean you no harm and am not here by choice.” Death shook his head looking disappointed.

“There are laws of realms like mine, and I have no choice. I am truly sorry.” With that Death rushed forward, swinging his scythe in an arc and trying to cut Drexx’s head off. Drexx ducked under and tried to kick at Death’s legs. Death seemed to float over Drexx’s attack effortlessly and his scythe nicked Drexx in the shoulder, leaving a small gash. Drexx screamed in pain, fire seeming to spread under his skin.

“My blade is a special type of metal, it doesn’t matter that you are an android, you will still feel pain. For that I apologize as well.” Death spun and came at Drexx spinning in a tornado, the blade of his scythe on the outside. Drexx used his Bukujutsu to propel himself backwards, and launched eye-beams at Death. Death came out of the tornado and caught the blast with the blade of his scythe. The blade glowed red for a moment and then back to a cool silver.

“Your blade can absorb ki as well?” Drexx said unbelieving. Death nodded as well, a frown on his face. He came at Drexx, cutting at his feet as Drexx crab-walked as fast as he could backwards from the slicing blade. He flipped over onto his hands and sprang backwards. He pulled the gun of Black Midas from its holster mid-flip and fired it at Death. Death spun his scythe around and deflected two blasts, but one caught him in the leg. He stumbled and took a step back.

“How… How is that possible?”

“You’re stuck in this program same as Me, I’m sorry but this is not your realm, and you are not truly death.” Drexx had figured out from the moment he set foot in this world that it was Benjin’s making, and that it was just another program created to test his son and most perfect creation. Drexx doubted the testing would ever stop, but he would take each step as they came.

“You lie. I am Death.” It was Drexx’s turn to frown. The programming was convinced it was Death. Drexx had no desire to kill the program, but he found little other options, hopefully he could just disable the program, and that would end it. Drexx charged his creator’s aura and launched it at Death. The black-clad figure dispersed into bats and then reformed, throwing his scythe at Drexx. The Android ducked under it, the scythe barely avoiding his face. When he stood up Death was in front of him. Death gripped him tightly around the arms and waist. His grip was tighter than anything Drexx had ever felt before and cold too, frigid even, causing frost to appear on Drexx arms.

“I’m sorry Drexx.” Death whispered in his ear. Drexx’s functions began to freeze up. He didn’t know how he was going to escape from Death’s cold grip.

[Deleted]

Drexx squirmed against the grip, but Death’s arms tightened with each of Drexx’s moves. Drexx looked up into Death’s eyes and for the first time in their encounter felt true fear. It wasn’t the grip itself that was doing damage to Drexx; it was the cold that came with it. The frost was creeping up Drexx’s arms and making its way to his chest. Drexx could no longer feel his arms; much less get them to function. He had to resort to desperate measures. Two panels slid open on Drexx’s chest, revealing a large circular glowing energy well. It began to glow with energy as Drexx poured his ki into it.

What is that you’re doing?” Death asked concernedly, he stared at the glowing white circle on Drexx’s chest. While his attention was on Drexx’s chest, he had lessened his grip on the android’s arms and chest. Drexx began to feel feeling return to his arms, but he still had no room, and not much control.

“UNI-BEAM!!!!” Drexx cried out as the beam rocketed out of his chest and into Death’s. Death flew backwards with the beam and far out into the sky above the shadow city. The explosion was tremendous; Drexx could feel the heat of it from where he was standing. He plopped down in the street and worked his arms back and forth, trying to get the cold out of them. He hadn’t felt cold before, and he decidedly didn’t like it. Drexx let out a sigh of relief, but frowned after a minute. Something was wrong. The program wasn’t ending. Drexx heard a soft thud and looked behind him. Death touched down in a three-point-stance, his cloak billowing out all around him holes burnt into it, his long black hair singed at the edges. His scythe was nowhere to be seen.

“That… was most unfortunate… I will not be letting it happen again.” He sprang at Drexx, who didn’t have time to make it to his feet. Death grabbed Drexx around the neck as he swung over him, swinging Drexx in an arc and throwing him into a building.

Drexx crashed through the building, one that may have been made of shadow, but certainly didn’t feel like it was. He flipped end over end and landed on his feet, sliding backwards to the edge. Death appeared behind him, Drexx balancing on the edge, an abyss below him, spikes edged the building’s side above him, flight wasn’t an option.

“I told you this was my realm Drexx. You will not leave here alive. I am truly sorry.” The scythe bit deeply into Drexx back, wherever it had come from Drexx couldn’t say, but it hurt like hell none the less. Drexx flew forward after the slash, doing all he could to escape Death’s scythe. Death flew in and out of the support beams of the sky-scraper, cutting at them.
“He’s going to bring the building down around us.” Drexx thought out loud. Then he heard the rumbling. Enough of the supports had been cut; the building was beginning to crash down all around them. Drexx powered himself forward, putting all of his energy into his bukujutsu. He escaped the building at the last minute, it crashing into itself and then…. Nothing. It was gone like it had never been there to begin with.

Drexx scanned the area, but Death was nowhere to be found. Then he was right in front of him. He had changed, horns now spiraled out of his head and his flesh had peeled away, leaving a skeleton behind. His powerlevel had increased massively as well.

“How did you do that?!” Drexx roared, his frustration finally getting the better of him. It didn’t seem to faze Death, his expression stoic and thoughtful. If Drexx had had the upper-hand at all in Death’s eyes it was all but gone.

“I am Death. I am invisible, silent, Omni-present.” Death appeared behind Drexx, whispering into his ear. “And I am done playing.” Drexx deactivated his bukujutsu as the scythe cut through the air where his head had been moments before. He spun around and launched a Dodonpa at Death. Death spun his scythe and caught the blast, redirecting it at Drexx. Drexx caught the blast in his hands, crystals poking out of his hands, absorbing the ki from the attack and pouring it back into his own reserve.

“I’m done playing around too.” Drexx felt his powerlevel rise and rise as he entered his Berserker Drive. He had hoped to avoid it at all costs, but Drexx knew now it was inevitable, he would have to use the Berserker Drive. He just hoped it would be enough. Death smirked.

“Interesting. Computer, fifty times gravity.” Death called out. Drexx’s brow furrowed at the same time the gravity took effect. He strained to stay in the air and upright. Death appeared in front of him. “You struggle uselessly against gravity like you struggle uselessly against death, we hold no malice towards you, and we are but forces of nature, part of the circle of life. Though you think it otherwise, we both do mean you no malice, though the outcome is the same. The struggle is useless.”

The scythe raised into the air, Drexx cried out, as if on instinct activated the Eye of Horus. Death was flown backwards through the air. Death spun through the air, flipping and righting himself. He flew quickly back to Drexx who was flying down to meet him. They crashed in the air and exchanged heavy blow after blow, throwing all their power into each of their punches, hoping the other being would break first. Death grabbed Drexx around the collar, forcing him to look into the sockets in his skulls.

“Now look upon your sins.” Death said, and Drexx’s sins played out in Death’s eyes before him. Drexx felt his metaphorical heart fit to bursting as he watched his sins play out. He had lived a good life, but everyone commits sins. The physical pain brought along with it was excruciating. Drexx fought through the pain and poured his ki into his index finger on his right hand. As he watched his sins play out in front of him, He poured more and more ki into his attack. It took an excruciatingly long time, watching his sins and charging his ki.

“Now pay for yours!” Drexx pointed his finger at Death and launched his Devilmite beam into his chest. Death flew backwards and landed in a heap on the ground, his robes the only sign of him, a smoking heap of black. Drexx floated to the ground and landed on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. He felt darkness creep up on the edge of his vision, and his Berserker Drive left him feeling even weaker.

“That was an interesting move.” Drexx looked up in despair as Death rose from his robes, his skeletal body reforming. “It hurt more than I thought it would.”

“WHY WON’T YOU DIE!!!” Drexx roared in defiance. Death looked upon him with pity.

“I am Death. I control who dies.” He rushed at Drexx with his scythe again, raising it to cut off his head in one stroke. Drexx’s life flashed before his eyes. The end was upon him. Drexx leaned to the side just out of the way of the scythe and used his bukujutsu to power into an uppercut. Jets sprang from the sides of Drexx’s arms, adding to the power of the uppercut.

“Shoryuken!” Drexx yelled out, knocking Death into the sky. He flipped end over end, righting himself just in time to see Drexx’s launching himself at him.

“THIS ENDS NOW” Drexx brought the fully charged Wrecking Ball in front of him, pouring every last bit of his ki into it. Death’s eyes grew wide, then soft. He smiled, reverting back into his first form.

“I hope we never meet again Drexx.” He said softly, smiling upon the android. Drexx launched the Wrecking ball, and Death evaporated in the blast. Drexx fell panting on the ground and consciousness left him.

When he awoke, Tara was standing over him looking incredibly concerned. She helped him to his feet, but he fell to a knee as soon as he stood.

What the hell happened in there?

“I met Death.” Tara’s eyes grew wider than Drexx had ever seen them. “We both hope to never meet again.”

Techniques Acquired:

Uni-beam: A large powerful blast originated from Drexx’s chest. A panel slides open on Drexx’s chest, exposing a large powerful energy well that Drexx can use to charge ki and unleash a powerful blast called the Uni-Beam, the power of the blast depends on how much ki is used, pour too much power in it and Drexx can knock himself out using the blast. It is often a last ditch effort.

Ki absorption Crystals: Using crystals specifically designed to absorb ki, Drexx can do just that. There is a limit to how much ki the crystals can absorb and if Drexx tries to absorb too much at a time, the crystals can overload and short out, harming the Android more than helping.

Shoryuken: Using rocket-jets that spring from the sides of his arms, Drexx hits the enemy with a incredibly strong uppercut. He often uses it in conjunction with his Bukujutsu for even more force behind the uppercut.

Pl please. 40x gravity for the first half, 50x gravity for the second, rounding out to a solid 45x gravity. Light weights also in effect.
