Escape from the Planet of the Apes

[Zach]

As Zach rocketed across the sky away from the battle field and Gurin's green monster collided with the planet, the boy was practically oozing energy out of his pores, so great was his desperation. He needed to be fast, faster then he'd ever been, the shock wave from such a large attack would likely tare up this entire region and he couldn't afford to let their only transportation get destroyed. More urgent then even that was the fact that little Rito was inside that ship. He couldn't let anything happen to the boy, to his son. Normally one would think such a desperate run would be dramatic and drawn out over tens of minutes, but given the relatively short distance the ship had been parked outside of the city, Zach arrived in less then one, skidding to a halt next to the spherical vessel and leaving behind a pair of molten tread marks. There was a terrible shuddering, though not through the ground or the air, but something he actually felt in his mind. Zach may not have been able to sense any other energy other then his own and Rito's but the expulsion of power just a few miles away was so great that even his selectively deaf senses couldn't ignore it. Zach felt the explosion before it's physical effects arrived, but only by seconds.

Acting quickly, the blonde teen crouched under the ship, scampering quickly along it's underside until he found the center point. Then pressing his palms flat against the spot, ostensibly part of the propulsion system, the boy employed is not inconsiderable strength and hefted the ship into the air. The ground shook with unforgiving vigor just as Zach's feet parted with it, the sheer power of the vibrations likely would have destroyed the vessel. It was safe from that effect, at least for the moment. Next though came the pressure wave from the attack. Like some hellish, pseudo-nuclear explosion, the green energy raised an immense pressure wave and mushroom cloud in it's wake. True the energy was still burrowing it's way to the planet's core, but the drastic effects it had had on the surface produced instantaneous destruction and it was this destruction that had caused the resulting pressure wave.

Again, applying the totality of his power, Zach arced up and away from the direction of the explosion, carrying Gurin's ship with him to get it moving fast enough to escape the wave, or at the very least, fast enough to escape major damage from the wave. The teen wasn't quite fast enough though as the moment the wave hit, the larger bulk of the ship was lifted from his hands, his own smaller form not being as greatly effected by the passage of the pressure pulse. Propelled upwards as extreme velocity, Zach and the ship rocketed up into the upper atmosphere of the planet and then eventually passed through the effects of the wave. Still applying his capacity to fly though, the boy very quickly caught up with the craft and crashed into it's underside, much like a comical bug on a windshield. The impact sent the ship tumbling and for several seconds the two were in free fall as the blond scrambled to get a hand hold on the vessel and stop it's rotation. Both he and the ship had managed to escape damage, at least as far as he could tell, however the craft was still without power. Zach could only hope Gurin would get back quickly, else Zach would be forced to attempt to tow the ship back up to the top of the breathable atmosphere himself and then get inside and manage to figure out how to fly the thing before they smashed back down into the quickly erupting planetary surface.

The blast wave had knocked Ericnox clear of the city. He had been training since the end of the match with the Namekian, and now hearing about the attack, he was full on rushing back towards to the city. When the massive pressure wave hit his form, he was tossed back a good ways before finally catching his footing and sliding on the ground. His vision was blurred and his heart pounding hard in his chest.

"What in world was that? Can someone or thing really be that powerful?" He asks within his mind, looking up towards the sky and seeing the dot that was Zach.

Ericnox didn't know it yet, but this man was the one who was responsible for the destruction of the city, and to make it worse, he was prepping to leave it seemed. A ship of some kind in his hands as he moved across the sky for some unknown reason. It looked like it was powered down, and of all things, undamaged some how. Opening his wings back up, Eric pushed off the crumbling surface of the world had grown to call his new home.

Everything was going to hell in a hand basket for him. First his home world, and now this planet, the one that seemed to accept him for his strengths and weaknesses, and it was being killed. Ki was burning to the core, like a venom poising the body and working to the heart to finally end it all.

Finally reaching the person in question, Ericnox stopped within shouting range of the man. Fury burned in his heart and mind, but he remained calm on the outside, only slightly contained within the training of his mind. Raising his hand, he pointed at the blond human.

"You there! Land your ship and surrender yourself! You are in violation of Saiyan Airspace and currently under suspect of attempted genocide! If you do not comply, I will be forced to end your life, you have five seconds to comply!"

Eric stood before the man in a battle ready stance, to the more battled hardened warrior he was full of openings, and his armor was damaged to the point of needing to be replaced. His wings shone a gold color, not their usual white color they are in his base, his Golden Heart active to help make the point.Taking in a slow breath, Eric simply waited for the man to either attack, or comply, either way it went it wasn't going to be fun.

(OOC note: I hear by understand and accept the terms of Zach's battle conditions, fully expecting to be slain by the stronger warrior. Fight well as you see fit Zach.)

[Zach]

With the bulk of Gurin's ship now settling and the roll nulled out, Zach once again started to climb high into the air with his cargo in hand. He didn't have more then a few moment's of quiet flight before yet another interruption barged it's way in. Out of the blue, although Zach was certain the sky on this wretched planet has never seen nor heard of the color, a winged alien flew up and drew level with the blonde. The intruder barked some utterance that rang of a self-righteous paladin commanding a peasant to clear the road. In reality though, this winged paladin was messing with the wrong guy on the wrong day. Zach had already obliterated a city and was in no mood to deal with the antics of a self important, monkey collaborating police officer, to which his reply was curt and dry.

"I don't have time for this you moron." Zach started and then rotated to face the winged alien paladin, with the ship still held up in both of his hands, high over his head. "I'll tell you way too. One, does it look like this ship is flying? No, it's not, I'm carrying it. Thus it can't land. Besides, there's not much ground left down there for it to land on anyway. Two, you want to talk genocide? Get out of my face and go talk with the guy who's trying to blow this whole place up. Three, You and who's army pal? Not a single, stinking ape in that whole city put of a fight and you think you're going to stop me? Has it occurred to that self-righteous mind of yours that I might just be trying to get off this dirt ball before it explodes, something you should probably be doing yourself rather then messing with someone you can't possibly take."

Listening to the man talk caused a knot to twist in his stomach. That attack upon the world was more than a simple first strike for resources, they aimed to really end it all, to toss the world as dust into the endless void. His eyes lifted to the ship that Zach held in his hands. A powerful attack now could catch the man off guard, but Ericnox wasn't that kind of person.

"So be it... If this is to be the second planet that dies while I exist upon it, the people who aided in it's death shall not escape it's fate. If I can kill you or not doesn't matter if I can simply slow you!"

His voice was finally started to show the feelings within. After leaving a world being ravaged by a war that would leave it broken and lifeless if not stopped, and now coming here, only to find these people ending it, it was simply unforgivable. His eyes darted back to the ship and ki started to form in his hands, hate filling his eyes and heart as he focused.

If he knew of the passenger within, he might have taken a different course of action, but here and now, he didn't care. Everything had broken through the dam he formed in his heart, and he wouldn't let someone who attacked simply walk away now. The dense orbs in his fingers glowed a bright yellow color and he let out a yell as he pushed himself to his peak of power, not wanting to hold anything back any more.

"The ship and then your life! I will drag you to hell with me!" He screamed, his wings opening to their full size as he prepared to fire upon the ship. Nothing mattered any more... Nothing at all but this moment when his life would end with the death of a world.

Kazama’s head still hurt like he had been hit upside it with a sack of bricks. Every fiber of his being had felt like he had been electrocuted by an overwhelming power. Unfortunately, Kazama did not have time to sit down and figure out what had happened. He had just finished protecting Vegeta and Saru City from Masu, who had had a hand in the destruction of it. Kazama had overwhelmed the other Majin and was able to absorb him. By then however the damage had been done by his allies, the planet was in the destruction sequence. Now the only thing that mattered was getting off the planet before its life ended, which was fast approaching.

The ground was breaking apart as lava spewed from each new crevice in the planet. It was turning into Hell on Vegeta and Kazama had no intention of ever seeing that place. Kazama had been instructed by Geurin to return to their ship, when questioned about it he had said that Zach would no doubt be by there so just to fly to his power signature. Zach, his was far from Kazama’s favorite person but over the last several years his attitude had slowly changed from being murderous intent to severe dislike. Not much of a change in the grand scheme of things but he had been informed by Geurin over a year ago that he didn’t care if they had liked each other. They were going to have to work together so he just did not want fighting between the two of them whenever they were in the same room. So Kazama tried to take the high road but Zach appeared to want no interest in doing so.

Upon arriving at where Zach’s power signature was at he discovered a strange sight. Zach had decided that instead of turning the ship on and flying it. To rather carry it over his head, no doubt it was very easy to lift but Kazama could not help but take a heavy sigh at his ally’s actions. Standing in front of him was a strange winged creature preparing to fire on Zach and the ship. Kazama had no idea what was going on but the creature was preparing to destroy his only way off the planet. That Kazama could not allow to happen.

“Must I do everything…” Kazama growled under his breath as he shot forward at top speed.

His target was the new creature. His attack would be straight forward and simple but with enough power to simply crush the target. Kazama threw a massive overhand right to the face of the creature. After the attack landed Kazama rushed forward after the creature as he ripped off his left arm. He threw it forward, as he did the arm would expand due to its strange gummy material to a size that could easily swallow up the creature whole. Kazama had already absorbed one person today; another would be no problem especially with the difference in power being so great.

[Zach]

Still holding the ship up above his head, Zach glared at the paladin as he grunted and heaved, making a big show of charing up an attack. It was sad really that people didn't realize how predictable it made them when they announced their attacks and intentions before hand. Narrowing his gaze, Zach reponded verbally as the other strained, not wanting to let anyone know hehad had a hand in roasting the planet. He could spare a moment to tare the man limb from limb, but the ship's safety was his main concern. "You idiot. I had nothing to do with what's going on here and you aren't going to drag me anywhere. My son and I are leaving this place and no one is going to stop that." the boy replied. He was however met with a further threat agianst the ship it's self which only served to boil the teen's blood. He growled and was about to launch the ship high into the air and deck the impudent alien, that is until a familliar, gummy looking figure showed up and dealt with the problem for him.

Zach hovered there in place with his arms still up above his head as he watched the Majin fly in and open up a proverbial can of 'woop arse'. Zach was content to simply watch the two destroy each other, even leaving his body wide open didn't worry him as he was certain he could take the Majin and any creature that needed wings to fly wasn't worth his attention in the first place. And so, that in mind, Zach continued to hold the ship over head and only slowly backed away from the two while he watched them battle.

Preparing to fire upon the ship and the warrior holding up, he spoke of a son within the ship. This did cause pause in Eric's actions, more than enough to allow the strange majin creature to rush in and preform the hook to his jaw. Eric felt the bones in his jaw shudder as he rolled, falling slightly from the sky as the creature ripped off his own arm and caused it to expand.

Ericnox however was not going to be swallowed by this attack. No absorbing of the winged warrior would happen on this day. Catching himself with a burst of ki, he let go the energy he had in his hands, taking off at high speeds which one probably didn't expect from a winged creature, he peeled off and rounded back. A good distance between the two for a split second. Ericnox seemed to roar to life with the ki attacks aimed at the red gummy person, letting lose the Falling Stars attack to batter him back.

"Burn!" Ericnox yells, letting the attack stop and waiting to see if the creature had survived. Part of him knew he wasn't going to escape this battle alive, but he didn't care. He was going to fight with everything he had and bring some honor to his family for standing against the invaders.

[Deleted]

The winged creature ate the punch to the side of the jaw like Kazama had hoped for. He was sure that he might have felt the jaw crack under the force. It was smart enough to quickly destroy and evade the expanded arm of the Majin. He hovered there as he evaluated whether or not the winged creature was really worth his time. He could feel that even in this state the winged creature was only a third of Kazama’s power. This was not going to be a fight; this was going to be a merciless extermination. Then with squinted eyes Kazama could see the people of the Mezoan moons. Just like back then, he will have no hope of survival.

Kazama’s arm regenerated with ease as the winged creature launched a volley of attacks. Instead of blocking it Kazama stood there as the blasts slammed into his body. They had little consequence to the Majin as his body regenerated faster than the blasts could damage it. He felt every ounce of Masu’s power coursing through his veins and it made him feel so powerful. He was on an entirely different level than he was before. Unfortunately this creature was going to have play test dummy to his new power.

“That was nowhere near good enough…” Kazama stated as the final blast slammed into his chest. “Let me show you what real power is.” Kazama was cool and even in his voice. He could have cared less about the creature than the situation warranted but it posed no threat to him. He brought both his arms back to his sides as they began to gather ki.

A volley of ki blasts ripped through the small intermediate space that was between the two fighters. Kazama’s arms acted like pistons rapidly ripping through the air. Hundreds of ki blast emanated from the Majin’s hands with ease. The attack was meant to not only harm the creature but also distract him as several blasts exploded creating a cloud of dust. Kazama paused for a moment, located the creature’s energy signature, and then charged in with blazing speed. He flew right under the creature’s right wing.

Kazama reached backwards to grab the creature’s wing. From there he would grab and rip the creature’s wing clear off his body. With the power differential being so great the creature stood little chance. If and when the wing had been ripped off his body Kazama would simply place two extended fingers out. Ki would begin to charge at his finger tips and then shoot out with blinding speed at the center of its chest. This would be the killing blow and the creature stood little to no chance of surviving it.

“Dodonpa.”

The blasts all connected with ease, the creature didn't even try to dodge them, but when the smoke cleared, he was unharmed in everyway. Eric's eyes went wide as he saw this, hearing Kazam speak about what true power was, Eric knew this was his send off. Taking in a slow breath he watched the creature starting to draw back his hands and form ki into them.

"As I face to the South winds I shall know no fear... I march to clouds knowing my forefathers await me in the Nimus Keep..." Eric starts, his face stoic as he starts the ancient death chant.

Moving and darting quickly around with his chant fresh upon his lips, he does his best to avoid the strikes, his armor cracking and shattering against the more powerful blasts he was unable to avoid. The final shot sent up a massive wave of dust and blocked Eric's vision, his eyes closing to protect them from the dust.

The feeling of something touching his wings caused him to try to turn, but it was far, far too late. The more powerful of the beings had already rended the wing off, the ki fading from both of them and forcing him out of his transformation instantly. Pain seared in his mind and body as the final words left his lips.

"Goodbye..." He whispered, his eyes closed as the creature spoke his final line. The energy wave tore through Eric's body like he was made of paper before the onslaught of a sadistic child. His eyes closed as the life ebbed away from his mortal coil, a smile remained on his face however, this... Was freedom from his burden, failure to survive weeded him out and pulled away his promise of return to those he knew at his true home.

The planet was dying. Izanagi could have cared less about who was left on the planet. Whoever was foolish enough or weak enough to fail to get off the planet deserved to die. Izanagi refused to be either and quickly closed in on Zach’s power signature. Knowing the human he did not have the ship powered up and was just twiddling his thumbs waiting for his father to show up. Sure enough as Izanagi dodged through the mine field that was the dying Vegeta he came upon a strange situation.

Zach had the ship in both hands over his head, just like Izanagi had predicted. One of these days someone would have the gall to teach the blonde how to at least turn on the ship. Perhaps once he returned to Earth Izanagi would undertake the task. Standing not too far off from him was a goo gum creature that was red and black. In its hands was a wing from a creature that now lay dead at its feet. Izanagi had no recollection of the goo gum creature but from what it appeared he was defending the ship. For now that was all Izanagi needed to know. He flew right past the two of them and straight into the opening of the cargo bay.

“Zach, I don’t care what or who the bubblegum creature is but if it is defending the ship then let it on. We will deal with it later. In the meantime I am going to go turn on the ship and leave. I am waiting no longer than it takes for my pathetic little brother to get here. Last I checked he was missing an arm and half a wing. Make sure he gets inside if you don’t mind. I have a feeling he is going to be my only living family so I would prefer to have something. As for my father…I don’t plan on waiting for him.” Izanagi yelled to Zach as he entered the ship.

He entered the darkened ship and made a bee line for the cock pit. Instantly Izanagi began to punch information into the computer which caused the engine to hum to life. The computer barked some commands back at Izanagi who waved it off with half care. Finally Izanagi entered the proper data for the computer and it pulled up the navigation system. Quickly the young Namekian’s fingers entered the coordinates and the computer beeped back in an agreeing tone. Now Izanagi only had to wait for the rest of the occupants to board the ship. However if worst came to worst he would fly the ship off the dying planet and return home.

(This is Izanagi’s post leaving. The ship will leave whether I post again or not before the planet blows up. Whoever boards before then is on the journey back to Earth with him.)

Yami was following his brother back to their fathers ship to leave the dying planet. Eventually Yami was able to slowly make his way back to the ship minutes after his brother. He passed by his fathers second in command Zach and some red skinned creature. Yami had no time for either of them.

"Well it looks like our time here is done, we need to get back to earth as soon as we can."

Yami said flying by Zach, entering the ship and heading towards a bed.

(This is Yami's leaving post)

[Zach]

Zach watched in mild ammusment as the winged paladin was bested easily by the majin monster. However before he had time to address the monster, one of Gurin's kids flew up barking orders as if he were in charge. 'Dumb kid.' Zach thought and started to climb a bit faster to get the ship as high as posible until he felt the engines vibrating to life. Next the other brother arrived but ther was still no sign of Gurin. Knowing the other knew how to teleport, Zach didn't think it would be a bad idea to at least get the ship in orbit. Even if Gurin was busy still beating Nam to a pulp, he'd have to realize the planet was coming apart at the seems and would teleport to his or Rito's energy signature on the ship, be it in orbit or atmospheric flight. This in mind, Zach let go of the vessel as it's engines came up to power and then glided around to the entry hatch.

He stopped there though and looked over the majin. Part of him wanted to leave the beast behind but then he remembered what a good fight he got out of of the thing before. It had changed colors again though, now a putrid combination of red and black. "Grrrrr. You can come with us, but if you do anything, anything I don't like, I will flush you into space and see how long your gummy ass can stand the vacuum." Zach growled and then stepped aside to let the Majin in.

[Deleted]

Looking down at the winged creature’s body a rather sad thought occurred to Kazama. If this was what he would have to fight from now on then he was going to have to find new challenges. Kazama tossed the severed wing off into the distance with little problem. The bloody lifeless body of the creature slipped into a fresh crevice that opened up underneath it. Soon two creatures appeared and disappeared into the ship. Kazama had little time to actually tell what they were before they disappeared inside. Soon however the engines came to life and Zach allowed the ship to fly under its own power. He levitated over to the main entrance of the ship and then turned to face Kazama. The two warriors looked at each other for a brief tense moment before he called out to him.

"Grrrrr. You can come with us, but if you do anything, anything I don't like, I will flush you into space and see how long your gummy ass can stand the vacuum." Zach growled.

Kazama snorted in disdain from the comment by the human. It was definitely going to be an interesting flight back to Earth. Especially since Zach’s threat held no credence to Kazama seeing as how he could survive in a vacuum. Kazama gently lifted off the ground and landed on the ship’s opening. He stared into Zach’s eyes for a brief moment as he exchanged a tense look before slowly walking inside the ship. He walked over to a corner of the ship and made himself comfortable as the engines began to rev to life. Soon he would return to Earth and deal with the consequences of this little quest.

[Zach]

With no verbal reply, Zach glared at the Majin and let him pass. Once all were inside the craft, Zach closed the hatchway and made his way to the control section. The ship was a little crowded but nothing too uncomfortable. Once they'd acheived orbit, Zach made sure they stayed as long as they posibly could before being forced to leave as the planet's erupting surface was hurled in huge, tumbling chunks into space. With a strange sense of loss, Zach gave Gurin's kid the go ahead to take the ship away. Perhaps Gurin had found another vessel somewhere and would meet them back on Earth, perhaps he even took Nam's. all he knew though was, Gurin wasn't onboard and the entirety of Vegeta was now a rapidly fragmenting ball of magma.
