Goodbye Saru City

[Zach]

Zach's destructive rampage was now roaming freely over the entirety of the city as the boy crashed through building after building, decimating whole city blocks, but still, in spite of his growing comfort with his new power, the devastation wasn't happening fast enough. Finally it occurred to him that these buildings and the puny apes that inhabited them weren't worthy of the use of his fists. Not a single one had yet to rear their deceptively humanoid faces in resistance to his rampage. This in mind and still desiring to demolish the city with ever increasing haste, Zach terminated his direct efforts and ascended high into the sky above the metropolis. At first his plan was simply to use his laser eye techniques to slice the building's apart and start fires all about the city, however this was hampered by the fact that the buildings had been constructed of a substance like concrete if not more dense and by the time he managed to cut through the entire width of a given building, the beginning of the slice had cooled from a liquid state back to that of a solid. Clearly the tiny beams which although intensely powerful, were not suited for the job Zach was putting them to. The precise nature of the cuts they made were wholly unsuited to destroying large structures, to say nothing of an entire city. It was akin to trying to chop down a forest with a scalpel, it could be done, but the task would take an eternity and was something the boy's patience would not stand for.

Then at once Zach hit upon a grand idea. If his eye lasers couldn't handle the task in a timely fashion, perhaps something much, much larger could. Perhaps the job could be done all at once with a massive discharge of energy rather then pecking away at the city, bit by bit. If he could gather a truly staggering amount of power and directed it all at once at the city center, the blast would likely have enough power to decimate the whole metropolis. Gurin of course would have to get out of the way but Zach was sure the Namekian would sense the power build up like so many other's could. He only hoped Rito wouldn't sense the energy buildup and be attracted to the city by it. It was the kid's job to remain with the ship and the last thing Zach needed was to worry about protecting him from the city's vengeful inhabitants. With this in mind, Zach decided upon a delivery method, he would channel his energy, in the same crimson form that the eye beams used, except in a much grander size, like that of a massive pillar of light, stretching into the clouds. Once the requisite charge was achieved, Zach would cast the bottom end of the great pillar down at his target and the if he executed it correctly, the entire mass of glowing, crimson power would detonate with fantastic powers upon impact with the ground. First thing was first though, he needed to begin gathering the power and so, cast his arms upwards, spreading his fingers to help direct and contain the energy as he generated and stored it in the now forming cylindrical container.

Charge 1

[Rensou Hiruen]

A teenage female who knew not of war and bloodshed had done the expected, she had not inserted herself into the destruction for fear of absolute annihilation. Her name was Sessa Appan, the only child of Kosai Appan: a great warrior in his own right, but slain for treacherous gains. Orphaned, she had been taken in by a Saiyan known as Rensou Hiruen. Though adoption was a thing unknown to Saiyans in the finer sense, Sessa thought herself very much the daughter of the aforementioned, and he loved her in the same fashion.

A four year old boy who carried within his heart dreams of battles and death had wished to rise up against terrible power, as his father once had, but his “sister” had wisely chosen to deny him an inevitable death. Instead, Sessa had sated Tsuken Hiruen's lust for heroism by allowing him to evacuate, as best he could, Saiyan after Saiyan to the radioactive wilderness far south from Saru itself. Sessa, of course, assisted in the task and together the pair had managed to extract several score of women and children.

“'gotta stop'im, Sess,” Tsuken warned, his purple energy swirling behind him and utterly blocking out the reddish trail left by the young woman. Age and education meant little. Tsuken was aware people were being hurt and their home was being destroyed, and it would not cease until it was halted.

“. . .for the last time, Tsuken, no! You'll only get yourself ki –” Sessa had been startled by something, and apparently Tsuken had as well. The pair had stopped in midair, staring at their city with shocked eyes.

Sessa and Tsuken had felt what one of the massive powers had initiated, and before Sessa had hope of reasoning with the headstrong yougster, Tsuken Hiruen exploded through the sky. “TSU! ! !” Sessa cried after him, but it was to no avail. The boy was gone, and she knew exactly where he meant to go. . .the daughter of the Anana clan took off after her “brother” with anger and fear absolutely radiating from her energy signature.

--------------------

Papa had told him that it was their duty to defend their people against destruction. They must not be harmed, it was their duty as the strong to defend the weak. With the words of his father in his mind, Tsuken Hiruen came to a sudden stop several meters before the alien whom looked so like him. . .so like his father when he displayed power of this magnitude. Hiruen bravery spilled from his lips, but in truth, the boy was a child. Fear welled in his stomach and spread within him. . .Papa had said there would be fear as well. “You cain't do'dis!” the child informed as he slid into his stance and brought his orb to life, and purple fire danced about him while sphere revolved at a heightened pace.

Once the alien lifted his eyes to meet those of the boy, he would note that the child visibly shivered with rage and fear. The teeth were bared, the tail whipped as if caught up in a storm. His power was nearly 200,000 measurements of ki, far greater than any Saiyan this man had ran into thus far. . .but still so dwarfed.

This man had killed his kind without honor, without mercy. Tsuken had felt each and every lifeforce taken by his hands fade from existence, and with each end, his blood thundered harder through veins.

He had destroyed homes, buildings, stores, -everything.- When it had began, the boy had been hiding with Sessa in their home. Together, they had felt the tremors and held each other closer, drawing strength as catastrophe rained.

It had come to this. Papa had said it would not be easy, but this child was a Saiyan. He was no coward whom would decimate a race while his father sought vengeance for the people, no, he was a warrior, and he would offer nothing but pain and death against impossible odds.

The anger broke through as the toddler snarled, reenforcing his statement. “STOP'IT! ! !”

--------------------

Sessa was a few feet behind Tsuken, her eyes wide with horror at the impossible thing her beloved had chosen to stand against. Finally, she found courage and approached the child as his entire body shuddered with rage and placed her hand upon his shoulder. “Tsu-Tsuken, we have to go, please. . .” she begged, tears beginning to roll down her cheeks. This monster would kill him, certainly, and of that she was terrified.

Tsuken Hiruen floated forward, closing the distance between he and the demon and farther away from Sessa, the child had not heard her, had not felt her. For the son of Rensou, there was only this beast he would defend the helpless against.

Sessa flew upwards, still maintaining the same relative distance she had before from the monster she feared beyond measure, and she turned her crying eyes to his own, and her words to his ear.

“Please. . .” she sobbed. “Don't hurt him! Please!”

[Zach]

Continuing to build the massive charge of energy in the ever, vertically expanding cylinder of light, Zach hovered with his hands cast high above his head to help direct the energy, watching not the burning and half decimated city below, but the menacing construct he was forming. As the former blonde and now currently red haired teen continued to pump incredible amounts of power into his immaterial weapon, he failed to detect the approach of two pint sized city dwellers from below. His gaze had been turned upwards, monitoring the continuously growing shaft of energy and it wasn't until one of the two started screaming at him to stop that the teenager dragged his line of sight away from the charge and centered it on the pair. He had to fight mightily not to explode with laughter right then and there, of all things, a pair of children dared to stand against him, well one anyway as the second was cowering be hind the first, blubbering and pleading for him not to harm them.

"Hmhmhmhmhmhm... Fantastic." Zach chuckled to himself more then the pair, a decidedly raspy tone, augmenting his usual manner of speech. "Half a city in ruin and the only opposition I get as a pipsqueak barely out of the cradle and a crying girl." Zach growled and directed his vision back to the humungous charge of energy he was forming, showing the children not the slightest respect to even look upon them as he continued to speak. "The least you damn monkeys could have done is send up a few guards for me to play with. But I suppose since you attacked my world without honor, I'll just even the score a bit. Go back to your parents while you still can kiddies, you won't have to suffer long, not like I have." Zach continued to grumble as he strained against himself, pouring more and more energy into the cylinder yet in a controlled manner so as not to loose his handle on it. "Oh and to answer your doubts there little man, yes I can. I can and I WILL!"

Charge 2.

[Rensou Hiruen]

The young Saiyan was in striking range of this monster whom meant to incinerate what Saiyans remained in Saru, mocking him. . .taunting him. Tsuken heard none of it. The only thing the ears of the young warrior heard was the steady thrum of energy reverberating as the fiery haired demon charged his genocidal monstrosity. He felt rage. He felt anger. Most of all, he felt the absolute need to put his tiny yet powerful fist and his spinning sphere into opposing sides of the head before him and stop this madness this very instant.

Sessa, meanwhile, did not share the confidence of the enraged boy. “Tsu. . .let's just go!” she begged, her sobs still choking her as hopes fell upon a warrior who could not have left had he wanted to. It was the destiny of the Hiruen clan to defend the Saiyans from those whom would bring them harm, and the boy would not shirk his duties before nor after this terrible event.

“I'MMA MAKE YOU STOP'IT! ! !” he screamed with his small voice as his sphere circled around his back, but then the range of revolution extended while body lunged forward and right hand sought jaw. Meanwhile, the sphere sought the other side. Tsuken wanted to crush the jawbone of this man and ultimately stab and slice his tongue to pulp beneath shattered bone and dislogded teeth. Perhaps that would shut his mouth and stop his efforts.

[Deleted]

A bright light blocked Kazama’s view of the world. He felt his body being transported in a way that was familiar to that of how Heiwa transported the two of them through Other World. But at the same it was strangely different. It felt as if his body was suddenly becoming much more solid opposed to what it had felt like over the past year and a half. Kazama could not describe the feeling the only word that continued to come to mind was…liberated. However on his trip through the what he could only assume were the dimensions between the living and the dead, thanks to the judgment of Heiwa’s master, he spotted the faint silhouette of a being that he had not seen in a very long time.

Anubis X.

His pointy ears stood at attention and his warm eyes focused on Kazama. The rest of his body did not have definition and was no more than a shadow. The sight of Anubis X was both comforting and disturbing. Kazama had not seen the dog faced alien in well over five years. Words could not form in the majin’s mouth but strangely Anubis X preferred it this way.

Remember your training with Heiwa. Remember why you had been granted a second chance at life. Remember these things as you arrive because things are not as you had left them. Much has changed and not all for the better.

With those parting words the silhouette of Anubis X dissolved into a shapeless shadow that shot back into Kazama’s chest with a definitive statement. The shadow seems to speed up the transportation of the majin as things come into view. Instantly he knew why Anubis X had spoken to him.

From what he could tell he was back in Saru City or what was left of it. The sky was red as flames reached towards the heavens and the clouds turned black by the billows of smoke coming from the ruined husks of buildings. There was some screaming off in the distance but it was faint now. Much too little for a city of that size it was at that moment that Kazama’s eyes picked up the vast number of corpses that littered the ground. The entire lot was mixed together as he saw men, women and children all tossed about like rag dolls. It brought back not only memories of the horrors that he had inflicted upon the inhabitants of the Mezoan Moons but also of the near extermination of the inhabitants of Ra, Anubis’ homeworld.

Kazama slowly drifted to the ground. He had forgotten what it was like to walk amongst a war zone. It was chilling and after all of his training with Heiwa he had not realized how more open he was to the horror that pure power could create. He walked over to the lifeless body of a child on the ground. Kazama gently flipped the little girl over onto her back. Her face reminded him of the little girl that he had met so many years ago on the planet Earth and to see her body like this only further brought back memories of failure to the red majin. Then at his lowest moments came the recognition of the power signature remnants that lay over all of the bodies and ruins.

It was distinctive and the power signature had been burned into his memory. It had been years since he had sensed the power all together but now it seemed to fill him with rage. He soared quickly to the skies and performed a three hundred and sixty degree turn where he discovered the same energy signature just on a much larger scale. A mass of energy was gathering at an exponential rate, the mass was more than enough to take out half of the city. This was something that he could not allow to happen; he had trained for so long and so hard to protect innocent people. Kazama was not going to start off this life with one massive failure.

“Zach! I refuse to let you kill all these people!” Kazama yelled as he soared as fast as he could towards the building energy. He pushed himself to the limits of his bukujutsu. The red majin ripped through the sky as images of his brutal beat down at the hands of the human he had occurred over five years ago now filled his head. He refused to let him get the upper hand this time, this time he was going to show Zach that he was not to be trifled with.

Not wasting any time Kazama charged up a small ball of ki in the tips of his extended middle and index fingers. Quickly the power level rose in the attack until it was well over what Jorlaxl had told him was the limit of the technique.

“Dodonpa!” The word rang out in the empty city blocks that Kazama soared over. The beam shot from his fingers with impressive speed towards his target. While he was still a ways off Kazama had focused in on the center of Zach’s back. He was going to end this very quickly and save the entire city at which point he could figure out a way to deal with an equally powerful source of energy that Kazama did not recognize.

[Zach]

His arms still held skyward, Zach ignored the child's tantrum and continued to force more and more power into the pulsating pillar of energy he was gathering, at least until the little brat went so far as to hit him. Twice and all at once Zach was struck with what would have been impressive force, to his former self. Now though, in spite of his lingering training weights, the teenager far outclassed this petulant little child and the double strike to the sides of his mouth brought only a grunt of recognition and the promise of a quick and deadly reprisal. "Rrrrrrr... That was a mistake..." The blonde was issuing just as he was struck a third time, but in this instance it was a coward's maneuver, something had exploded against his back. In spite of his great power, Zach still had to obey some of the laws of physics and as such, since he was not prepared for the shot at his back, the force launched him forwards, ostensibly to collide with the brat who dared to challenge him. The sudden movement made maintaining his control over the massive cylinder of energy difficult as it swayed and shimmied to remain planted just above Zach's sky turned palms.

Not one to miss meeting out a little punishment on a very deserving monkey and having one readily available seeing as he was practically running the kid over, Zach reared his head back farther then it had been and then jackknifed, intending to smash his skull into the boy's and effectively head-butt the child clear out of the city. Granted if he succeeded or not, he would still have the sniper below to deal with, which considering the tingling in his back where he'd been shot, likely wouldn't be too difficult to weather while completing the power buildup. And so, straitening up after attempting to smash the child either clear out of the city or to the ground below, Zach turned his attention back skyward and resumed pumping energy into the pulsating, crimson cylinder. If the sniper below wished to personally engage him, he would have to do so quickly as the city he sought to protect was soon to become nothing but a smoking crater.

Charge 3.

[Rensou Hiruen]

The fist and orb pincered in an effort to spray brains from skull, the youngster that had been replaced by unbridled fury was a physical resemblance of his former self and nothing more. Many years ago, Rensou Hiruen had fought as Tsuken attacked now, when Touketsuki's blast had battered his love to the point of no return as she sought to save his life. The arms of Tsuken's father had held her lifeless body, cradling her to him as his coals rolled deep into skull and spilled tears that washed away the blood from Anienne's desecrated body. Now, Tsuken Hiruen wore that same gaze as his tiny mouth parted to reveal a smile and actually laugh as his assault finalized.

. . .then, it snarled with fury as his crushing maneuver did close to nothing. Completely out of his mind, Tsuken drew back his left hand to proceed with a flurry of melee strikes that would most certainly wilt the efforts of this beast he had so foolishly faced. Instead, the forehead of the foe came slamming down into his own and sent the child flying. No cry escaped his lips, no tears rolled down his face. Tsuken Hiruen had not felt the attack in the least.

He was unconscious.

[/center]

Sessa Appan was overwhelmed with relief as she caught him, holding her dearest close to breast as she began to take him far away from this place, but she cried out with dismay. The impact had awakened the child, and he pulled away from his adopted sister. “Sess! I has to stop'im!” he reprimanded, a fresh flow of blood rolling down into his right eye. The wound would scar, but that was a secondary thing: the first was to defend the planet. Once again, the child set his eyes on the monster channeling his energy.

Sessa backed away. She had never seen Tsuken in this state, but Rensou had told her of the boy's lust for violence: her love was a danger to himself and her own well-being, but she could not abandon him. Not as he faced a challenge Rensou himself would be taxed to stop. Still, she pleaded, “Tsu. . .we can't stop him,” and then her eyes caught the attack of the newcomer sailing in for a moment something welled inside her heart: was that hope? Perhaps these people beneath them that still lived could be saved.

“TSUKEN! ! ! THE TSURUHA!”

The prodigy of Saiyan children was already ahead of her: only a boy, he still had a fighter's mentality. If this destroyer of the helpless was going to stand there, stubbornly charging his genocidal attack, Tsuken was going to take the opportunity to show him the price to pay was steep. The small musculature tensed, royal hue exploding around the body as cyan bio-electricity surged through the aura. His tiny hands cupped behind him, cradling a sparkling ball that struggled for life at first, but then burst into existence fully and swelled to an impressive magnitude. Baby teeth gritted together as snarls began to explode from the pursed lips.

“Tsu. . .”

“. . .wuu,”

“HRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH! ! !” The arms were ripped through space as they struggled to contain the strength the inner reservoir and the outer amplification the Tsurunoha provided, and the end result was a purple behemoth of a wave that even Sessa was confident could halt the charging weapon of the beast. She hoped the other warrior was capable of finishing matters, for she could already feel Tsuken's energy dipping. . .the boy was heaving for oxygen and shimmering with sweat as he exerted himself to the fullest for the people and his planet.[/blockquote][/font][/size]

[Rensou Hiruen]

PL Lock!
Zach : 172,175 ~ 516,525 ~ 2,754,800
Tsuken : 49,862 ~ 199,450
Kazama : 186,600

[Deleted]

(Ren! Zach agree to allow me to use the post saga fight modifier of x5, that I would receive for the Majin power scale adjustment, during this fight. In that case my PL would be locked at 233,250.)

Kazama watched as Zach simply shrugged off not only his attack but an attack by another warrior as well that he could sense to being very close to his own power. Now Kazama’s eye sight was good but he couldn’t believe what he saw and what he sensed. Standing next to Zach with a spiking energy level that was on par with his own was a child no old than seven years old. While he was still getting used to what was actually out in the universe this he knew was a rare feat as he could tell that the young Saiyan was par with Sohko when he was at his strongest.

Flying over the wreckage that had been caused by Zach Kazama sighed to himself as he unlocked the special enhanced fighting weights that Heiwa had created for him. Without stopping he let the weights drop underneath him into the ruins that passed down below. Once they had been all removed Kazama felt his power surge to its peak. Heiwa had told him that not only had they been designed to be just general weights but they were designed to suppress his power in order to cause him to fight more efficiently when he did not need to go all out. However as he saw the giant pillar of ki off in the distance, getting bigger and closer with each passing second, he would need every ounce of ki he could muster in order to save the city of Saiyans from being sent into oblivion.

With a surge of power he shot himself up to his true speed with was four times as fast as he had been traveling. The results blast of energy caused several buildings to explode from the surge of power. Now with unrestrained power and an unbreakable resolve to stop the human from performing genocide Kazama flew at top speed towards the fight.

Extending both him hands out to the sides he began to gather in his palms. At first they were simple balls of ki but soon with rotation added thanks to his telekinesis they began to become lopsided and then eventually they formed into discs no bigger than old fashioned records. He threw each one in turn towards Zach causing them to move even faster than he was. After about five feet each disc expanded to their final size suddenly of about four feet in diameter. The two discs weaved in and out of the buildings of the city for the most part while occasionally clipping the remnants of wall. The discs sliced through them though like a hot knife through butter. Their eventual destinations were the back of each Zach’s mid thigh.

However this was not the only thing he had up his sleeve Kazama quickly ripped off his own left arm just above his elbow. Heiwa had taught Kazama all of the various tricks that majins were capable while in his tutelage in Other World. One was that of limb regeneration without so much as a heartbeat and a second thought. The second being that even though his body may be split in half he still had full control over any part of his body he wanted. The third and most important was that Kazama could absorb people at will like he had done with Anubis X over five years ago. The deep red majin pulled his arm back and threw his arm through the air towards Zach then as it began to fell short he used his telekinesis to send it to its final destination. This was just behind Zach’s back at which point his arm would expand greatly as it tried to envelope the blonde haired human.

If Zach didn’t manage to avoid his attacks he would be several feet shorter because of his double expanding destructo discs. If Zach had chose to somehow avoid both massive discs of ki Kazama’s arm would be right behind him ready to envelope the unsuspecting human. In either case Kazama would be at the site of the battle and ready to throw down by the time both of these actions were finished.

[Zach]

Succeeding in sending the child spiraling to the ground below with a single head-butt, Zach had a few moments to survey his surroundings, specifically searching for the afore mentioned sniper. With the child out of the fight Zach's attention could be turned to that sneaky retch who dared to shoot him in the back. Ignoring the incessant whining of that puling girl who'd followed the boy up to meet him in battle, only to cry and plead for him to run, Zach rotated slowly gazing down at the half ruined city until his eyes met one of the few things that wasn't crumbled, burning or some combination of the two. There, hovering in stark contrast with his red skin against the whites, greys and blacks of the tangled mess below, was that meddlesome sniper, seemingly releasing bits of his clothing. It was obvious to Zach, one well versed in the usefulness of weighted clothing, that this red skinned alien was unburdening himself for what he likely thought would be an extended battle. He need not have bothered as Zach was ready to exact his long awaited revenge upon the flea ridden apes he so despised. They and their monkey city would soon be nothing but a smoking crater and no one was going to stop him. No one could, not even Gurin fore the immense pillar of energy the teen has been preparing was now ready to do it's job, all he had to do was let it go.

So it was with a brief moment of curiosity that Zach paused and watched as the red skinned monster prepared himself, then at once it hit him who and what he was looking at. That Majin dæmon, once black but now red. That abomination who ate people whole, leaving not a trace. That monster he beat to a gooey pulp four years prior. And in that moment of recognition Zach's already twisted expression of anger became even more wild. How dare that red hued blasphemy attempt to protect the monkeys. How dare he try to stand in the way of Zach's revenge, in the way of justice. How dare he stand up again after being rightfully put down. Zach growled with inhuman hatred and turned his full aggression towards the red skinned monster just as the other appeared to be doing the same.

The red head turned fully to face the beast as he observed the monster sling two disks of energy in opposing directions and could tell at once the bastard was trying yet another sneaky trick. As the disks cut their way through the city, likely causing fresh casualties as they traveled, Zach could see the Majin blast off, 'Blast' being the operative word as he demolished several buildings with the violent ascend. Then the most peculiar thing happened as the red skinned beast ascended, it pulled loose it's own arm and threw it ahead of it's self. Now Zach had never seen the black version of the monster actually eat the young woman those many years ago, but no sane individual does something like this without purpose and it was then that Zach realized just how devious this monster was. It was attempting to eat him, or slice him to ribbons with those disks, all while charging at him making a big show to keep him preoccupied. It wouldn't work, Zach might be many things, but a complete fool wasn't one of them. He might not be the brightest bulb in the box, but in matters of combat and observing one's opponent, he was near masterful, one had to be when one couldn't sense energy.

And so with the gibbering arm making a lazy loop under him and the red Majin continuing to charge, all while the twin disks arced up out of the city and ascended in like fashion towards him, Zach jumped into action. Two things happened very quickly thanks to the great speed afforded to him by his new found power, the first being the launch, or rather drop of the energy cylinder. With the Majin careening right towards him in a feigned homicidal rage, he was well within the boy's line of sight to the city below and although Zach had intended to simply hurl the collumn of power strait down, angling it a few degrees off center wasn't going to noticeably effect is destructive power or the fate of the metropolis. Whether the Majin was consumed in that crimson power of awe or not mattered little, the column was so massive that the city was doomed as soon as Zach had completed charging. With the launch of the pulsating shaft, rushing down to meet the charging Majin, came the second of Zach's actions, a lightning fast evasive maneuver in the only direction he knew to be safe. With the disks charging him from either side and that undulating arm disappearing behind him and knowing the fondness this beast had for attacking one's back, Zach chose the only viable escape route, a vertical one. As the crimson pillar of utter destructive force dropped from the sky, Zach exploded in an equally brilliant burst of red energy as he rocketed up and away, leaving the shaft to do it's work.

When he'd doubled his altitude into the thin reach's of Vegeta's tepid atmosphere, a fete taking only a few seconds and putting himself far enough out of range to avoid his own blast, Zach looked back down at the city as it erupted in a flash of red light. Something was curious about the orb of plasma that was consuming the city though, there was a curious, purple flash emanating from just off center. It was ironic that removing himself so far from the city's destruction would place Zach so far up that he could see an attack launched at nearly the same moment as his own. Even with his great speed though he could not have outrun the purple beam and it's owner had fired it true. With only a split second to act, Zach tucked his arms and legs in, knees up against his chest and elbow's firmly planted on his knees and then called on his body armor. He wasn't sure of the armor had had enough time to fully materialize or not, but the result was the same either way, Zach felt the burning, stinging sensation of the energy beam attempting to dig through his defending arms and legs, pushing him further up into the rarified atmosphere of the planet is it did so. Whether the red Majin, or the petulant child, or his puling girl survived Zach didn't know. What he did know was that blocking the immense power of that last ditch attack without the proper aid of his armor, hurt. Gritting his teeth and reciting every curse word he knew kind of hurt. When the blast finally cleared and Zach unfolded, he could see his pants were completely gone below the knees and his boots had only just barely survived. What was worse was that both of his fore arms were red, bruised and blackened blood was plainly visible on both his arms and legs. But what had to be done was done, below was a great, crimson holocaust and if Zach had to pay for it with some of his own blood, it was a fair price indeed.

[Nam Reikonaga]

Don’t do it…

Don’t do it…

Don’t… do it…

Teal eyes gazed anxiously far off in the horizon. The scenery consisted of a red bloody sky –a harbinger for what’s to come. Desolated and destroyed buildings and land and fire and death surrounding and composed the land below which he only had but a glance as he skyrocketed at top speed from point A to point B. He could feel, at most, four different energy signatures in the location; one of which were Zach’s and the only antagonist as of now. He didn’t know where Geurin was located, nor did he care, right now he could only focus on that blindly light that floated above the land and threatened to destroy them all.

Nam grits his teeth. The power was so similar to his own, it happened so suddenly he was flabbergasted by the intense energy the blond man was producing. When did he get so powerful? Was it Geurin’s doing? Nam instantly thought about the Holy Water, but knowing Zach he would never agree for ‘free power’ –no, Holy Water didn’t give Nam this kind of power, they both obtained this power through other means.

His golden locks flaunted wildly in the wind. He was wearing his new purple tunic with padded armor on his shoulders, black trousers and purple boots. On his left chest, the original symbol of Kami’s Guardian Special Forces was emblazoned proudly for he represented what Tenshu truly wished –or what he thought Tenshu wished. But even if these weren’t his late master’s will, Zach’s actions and Geurin’s sure as hell weren’t the answer.

Don’t do it…

He thought urgently. But it was too late, the object which could now be distinguished as a cylindrical energy pillar was descending towards the ground below. Powerful wind currently was cast upon the land and retarded Nam’s acceleration towards it. A red figure, which Nam could only assume was Zach, fled to the higher atmosphere of Vegeta while the rest were sitting ducks. –Well… not entirely. Nam gasped as a purple flash of energy was launched into the sky and towards the red figure in the sky. The source was unknown, but although the power wasn’t very high, it was still impressive somehow in the way it glowed and roared.

“So much for talking…” he said disappointingly. This would be the first time Zach would see Nam in his Super Saiyan transformation. He had refrained from doing so in their previous encounters out of respect. He was hoping it wouldn’t come to this. He was hoping he wouldn’t have to use his full power against his friend, but it was now inevitable. Regardless, Zach wouldn’t see him until the giant pillar was gone.

Nam braced himself and nose-dived in a reverse parabolic motion as he ricochet down towards the ground to gain momentum and curved back up with both arms forward and power raging at its full extent. It was nothing but a golden yellow flash of light which could be easily missed by any of the present participants in the area, but the tremendous energy emitting from that being was something which could not be ignored for it rivaled that of Zach’s, although, it didn’t pertain that darkness and hatred that the blond man’s aura gave off.

Besides the roaring red pillar of destruction descending, he could hear the faint yell of a little boy. It reminded him of Ritoru, but speaking of nostalgic moments, his current position was definitely something to remember. As Nam pressed his hands against the plasma with an audible ‘BOOM’ upon impact which halted the cylindrical pillar from milliseconds before it continued to descend, but slower; he was taken back to five years ago…

"NO!"

The Icer roared and his voice reverberated through the plateaus of Mt. Paozu and shook everything in his path. He charged up his strongest attack in mere minutes which was then tossed down at the saiyan. The power was so intense he could barely stand in its presence, but regardless, he gathered the courage and fended off the attack.

“Ka…me….ha…me… HAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

“HAAAAAAAAAAA!” he yelled out. His hands began to burn in the heat of an attack of such caliber. Once again, Nam found himself in-between the enemy’s strongest attack and the fate of the planet. This cylinder was much more powerful than Touketsuki’s death ball, this wouldn’t have devastated the city –it would have demolished the entire planet and everything within it to shreds, including Zach himself.

Seven years ago, Kami~Tenshu, the Guardian of Earth stood only feet away from the monster Majin Meishi who threatened the lives of thousands. Facing the beast when no one else would, and inspiring those around him to take action, the Kami was saved from his foolish suicide.

It was only fair that he return the favor.

His students, his pride and love. They had been led astray in his absence. They had not been ready for the responsibility that was thrust on them. Without a shephard to guide them, they were forced to make their own decisions and fight their own battles. Nam became the leader of a rag tag group, much like Kami had. But lacking the resources, or know how, he was unable to train them for the fight at hand.

Zach joined forces with Geurin, falling into his deepened hate that had always consumed his heart. This was perhaps the saddest of all. All of this death, and destruction was the cause not of Zach, or of Nam's inpersistence. Not even did the blame shift to Geurin the mastermind. This was Tenshu's fault. He had allowed the monster to get away with his crimes, but not anymore. Zach would obliterate Tenshu, killing Geurin in the process.

But wait...was that a child!?

Tenshu had never guessed that a child would be present, or that Zach would even consider killing innocents. He had truly flipped in nature if he found that acceptable now...and another...and another...This city was not empty...and Nam was not winning.

His make shift blast flew from his palms, into Zach's meteor of a strike, and would be unable to even slow the blast. It took a split second of decision making, but Tenshu knew that his time was not yet over, he could not allow this to go any further.

Four

Four times would he instantly appear and disappear once more.

The attack would have already reached Tsuken and Kazama, likely burning them, or injuring them to the point of unconsciousness, or at least severe pain. First he would grab the red Majin whom was closes to him, then with yet another instant flurry, the young boy.

Finally he would appear and against the half saiyans will, remove him from the fight. It was necessary that it happen this way.

Zach would not know it. He would be unable to see around his colossal blast. But these three victims had been relocated. The rest of the city would not be so lucky....
