[Finals: Basna versus Yuumaru]

[Deleted]

The blast against the one charging the attack had been countered, not that he was expecting much from it, given that he wasn’t focused on that one. The one he’d focused on had let out a yelp and tried to escape from him, and his own body pursuing with a burst of speed and agility. As the arm came thrusting at him, it would strike air as the Yuumaru that had been there was an afterimage from his Zanzoken technique. Using his speed to match the movements of the fleeing Basna, he would chase him down to deal with his opponents one at a time. When the rain of Ki Blasts came down on the arena, the Saiyan used it to his advantage, letting the larger blasts cover his form as he flew.

One of the clones had decided to try and follow him through the ki blasts, catching him slight off guard with an attack. Knocking him through a few of the ki blasts that he been forming a curtain over the arena. Slamming into the barrier that had been setup around them, to keep the spectators safe, he grit his teeth. Yuumaru's body, bleeding now along with the burns, he'd have to work fast and hit hard to try and win this thing.

With a burst of speed, he shot behind the larger bodied warrior who was raining attacks, aiming to slam his fist into the ascending opponent’s back. It was an attempt to get him to stop moving for even a micro-second, as he followed it up with a kick that was aimed to send him back towards the ground outside of the ring. Before throwing his own small volley of Ki blasts aimed for the back of the clone, his intent still working for a ring out. With the larger body, it would be easier to aim for, as if he couldn’t keep his entire body from touching the ground, it would probably count.

From there, he dropped down towards the Namekian that had pursued him into the air to continue their own battle. Using the large blade of Ki, he swiped at the Namekian, before firing off a few sniper bullets at his stomach. Using their larger bodies in an attempt to make his attacks more difficult to dodge, it was harder to miss such large targets. Though they still seemed to have a couple of tricks up their sleeves as well, so he would have to be cautious about that. He had to try working through them all quickly, otherwise his time would run out, and then he would be in an even worse position that he was right now.

(Witness the birth of a new technique. xD)

Basna grinned, having propelled his opponent into the barrier; it was time to set the stage. By now, the fourth namekian’s attack which had been charging for quite some time now would most certainly attract the attention of anyone who could sense ki. Despite their individual and weakened bodies, it still posed an incredible power capable of things unknown to anyone but himself. This was just the second time Basna had pulled off this tactic during a real battle –except it was much more intense.

Basna number three, the long ranger and the most weakened by Yuumaru’s assaults with the attacks to the temple and the spinning kick, seemed to have been the saiyans target as he continued to pursue him. Although it was foreseen though, the man’s speed was overwhelming and he couldn’t stop the impending blow to his back. Basna cringed and arched forward with his stomach out as a sharp pain spread through his back. He grits his teeth. Namekians had thicker skin than most races –but his fists were still something to be feared.

Basna number two, the one who had pursued the saiyan and forced him into the barrier, continued his assault and –using his rapid movement technique- came to #3’s aid before the second blow could be inflicted and attempted to ram his fist into Yuumaru’s face. Number three fled and went back to a considerable distance where he was safe. Fourth Basna was still standing by and anxious. Number two gulped at the saiyan’s energy sword and ducked right under the first thrust –then getting knocked back by that weird attack again. From this distance though, he had a better look at what it actually was. Little transparent bolts of energy, he thought. How cunning.

As the second Basna was propelled back a few feet, the first and third began another barrage of energy blasts. This was an idea which had just recently clicked into the namekian’s witty mind. While one and three launched their barrage of energy attacks, two controlled them all monotonously into rotating around the saiyan like a giant all-around vortex. From inside the orb of rapidly rotating ki blasts, the saiyan wouldn’t be able to see anything on the outside and remain benighted to the namekian’s plot of slowly leading him closer to Basna number four.

He’d been getting knocked around quite a bit, but as long as his power held out, he would be able to take all the punishment. He never really was able to see the limit of how long it could last, but he supposed now was as good of a testing time as any as well. Having managed to connect with Basna number three’s back, he went to try and continue the assault, until he detected Basna number two, his pursuer. Halting his attack, he attempted to deflect the punch meant for his jaw, into Basna number three, he thought it would be funny to make Basna hit himself.

Basna number two had managed to duck his blade, but got strike by his sniper punch, it was a fair tradeoff, he supposed. Shifting his attention towards Basna number three and number one, he saw the attacks coming at him, and as he was about to move, they started to circle around him. Number two had started to manipulate them into a spinning vortex of Ki around him, another trick to block his vision it seemed. Glancing around, he tried to see what options he had, but decided that he would let this lead him for the time being to see what happened.

He was curious as to what would happen, so he followed the vortex as it seemed to lead him towards something. His senses had told him it was a large source of energy, and to prepare for whatever it was, he began to charge Ki into his hands. It wasn’t a special technique, but he could at least throw a majority of his remaining power into a simple ki beam. Hopefully, it would be enough for whatever was waiting for him, and that it would hopefully take out one of the Basna. He steadied himself for a clash between them, and continued to gather his own energy within the sphere. If he couldn’t see what they were doing, he doubted they could see what he was doing behind this curtain of energy.

It was partly what he was hoping for with this, the element of surprise on his end as well, it might make them a bit too cautious. It was a long shot, but it was all he had to go on, and it seemed like a bet that was worth taking.

Number three was already out of range once Yuumaru deflected number two’s attack. One and Three ceased fire and allowed the second namekian to take full control. What was left is the shot, but even then it was very risky. Basna realized this wasn’t going to work on its own, so number one charged an energy wave which would pierce through the vortex, hopefully hitting Yuumaru. Whether it hit or not, the impact of energy caused a giant explosion in the center of the ring and the cluster of ki blasts had ended.

From above, dropped down Basna number three who aimed to grapple and hold onto Yuumaru’s back. Number two followed behind to hold one limb and then number one to hold the other. The saiyan would find himself locked in place and the fourth standing five feet away with a wide grin. “It’s ready…” he teased, a drop of sweat rolling down his face. He didn’t want to unleash it just yet.

Yuumaru was preparing his attack, ready to fire it off, when suddenly, his body locked up and his power dropped drastically back to what it had been. His arms went limp, and all the pain from the attacks he’d taken came rushing in like a massive wave, had he had the energy he’d have screamed from it all. His power had been staving it off, but that was gone now, and his body dropped towards the floor, just as the beam was shot towards the vortex of energy. His body fell into the path of the Ki blasts, just as it was all detonated, his body being assaulted by the violent explosion of energy.

When the other two Basna dropped down to try grabbing a hold of him, his body would feel like it was on fire and almost too hot to touch, the temperature being much higher than it should be. The after effects of his Typhoon Reactor, it had rendered him unable to fight anymore and left him defenseless against the explosion. His body was just about wrecked, and his consciousness was long gone, he was completely out of the fight. There was blood seeping from wounds all over his body, a few broken bones as well, and it was likely a miracle he had survived that last explosion.

As it was right now, he would need a good amount of time in the rejuvenation pods, blue hair falling like a curtain over the Saiyan’s face.

(PL please)

“What?” Basna said disappointingly.

“He’s hot…” the other said, letting go of his arm and allowing the saiyan to collapse to the ground. If it were anyone else, the skin would’ve probably melted off their hands –but that was an overstatement. Namekian skin was very resistant to extreme temperatures so it only left a small burn steaming off the palms of his hands.

“How disappointing…” another said from the left. “We were so close too…” said the one on the right. The fourth Basna gradually stopped charging and the ‘Special Beam Cannon’ faded. The four namekians then merged back to form one and gazed down at the man. The medics wouldn’t be able to lift him up under that condition, so he grabbed Yuumaru over his shoulders and began to walk towards the exit as the crowd cheered wildly from that spectacular light show. Basna moaned in pain from the seeping heat emitting from the other’s body.

The chance to use such a technique and actually be able to charge it was a rare occasion and he had hoped to see the twin beams drilling through Yuumaru’s stomach before he had collapsed. “Tsk!” What a lame victory, he thought. But the audience thought otherwise.

(PL)

New technique:

Unnamed - When Basna separates in four different beings with his Multi-Form technique, 2 copies unleash a barrage of energy blasts from either side while a third controls them into a vortex around the enemy, which takes away their vision.

[Rensou Hiruen]

The Saiyan crowds roared with the aliens among them, united as one in this beautiful instance of combat that had shocked and amazed, considering it had been filled with twists and turns that none could foresee. Both fighters had obviously impressed.

The cheering became something greater as something great descended from his private seats and suddenly, it stopped as General Rensou Hiruen raised a single fist into the air, and all the while Saiyan medics entered the ring.

"A salute for Yuumaru Mori, my people!" he cried, his voice carrying despite amplification, for it was the only sound to fill these walls that had witnessed great spectacle. Rensou Hiruen faced the fallen man and bowed his head with respect, offering the Saiyan salute. The man was filled with pride to see Yuumaru come so far since their initial meeting. The man had all the will, resolve, and courage of a great warrior. His power was beginning to react to such stimulus.

Rensou relaxed, as did every citizen while he strode up to the Namekian whom had proved the be the greatest under the twin suns, the winner of the Taikaishita Nitaiyo. . .the first of many, for the man would be challenged in future events should Rensou have his way. The proud Saiyan offered a salute, his head bowed with well earned admiration.

"Basna of Namek, I declare you champion of the Taikaishita Nitaiyo," and he hung a splendid medallion hanging from a necklace of fine leather. . .truly, a cheap token, but it had been Rensou's own when he had risen to greatness within this very arena and become the champion of Saru. "And to the winner the spoils, neh?" and as promised, an envelope swollen with zeni exchanged hands.

"Let's hear it for Basna, ladies and gentlemen!" Rensou roared, but soon it was drowned out by the multitudes. He took a moment to offer Basna a few words, "I knew there was a reason I brought you here, Namek. . ." He offered wink and smile.

Yuumaru's prize, of course, would be presented to him when he regained senses.
