It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. - Buddha
Several weeks after Suki's tirade on the small moon planet he inevitably did grow bored once again. However, unlike before the council was well aware of this boredom, and was prepared to act on it before more lives were lost.
They had been spending several months on this new room. A room with the ability to train in ways never thought possible. It was said that this room was capable of creating images and thoughts to physically and mentally test the resolve of whoever was facing them. Its power was said to be unlimited, and that even the strongest warriors would never complete the training, that ultimately all who entered would have to surrender before they could leave. This would humble anyone who entered the arena and give them a taste of reality, so that even the strongest warriors could be humbled and taught their limits.
This was a truly genius task, one that took months to concoct, and years to plan. Yet, the council presented the plans before suki, suggesting that he be the first warrior to test the machine.
Suki, finding that the mundane activities of the day-to-day activities on kold had become droll and meaningless, agreed to the test. He decided that anything that claimed to be better than him would fall regardless of how great it was.
The machine functioned on 10 levels; each one pitted you against an opponent of equivocal strength. The first was a simple task, that got more difficult over time, however because this was the first test, no one was sure what exactly would occur at each level, however scientist were ready for whatever may happen.
Suki stepped into the room, it was larger inside than it appeared on the outside, and in the center sat a small scouter, the scouter was to be placed on the challenger, and they would immediately be transported to whichever level they selected.
Suki took a step forward and put the scouter on his eye, motioning to the lab coats to start the machine, and the moment he did so, he was transported to a village, it was small and surrounded by natives, he heard in his head
<Level I>
Suki looked around, the scouter on his face had disappeared, and as he touched his face, the scouter could not be felt. It was as though it did not exist.
"No matter"
Suki said looking around him. The shacks were made of a flimsy wood material, and out of them gave several small green creatures, each one was shorter than even suki standing no taller than 3 feet, they had sharp claws and red eyes. It was clear to Suki what these creatures were
"Saibamen? We got rid of these creatures for being obsolete centuries ago."
Before suki could ponder further the creatures began their onslaught, each one throwing scratches, punches, and kicks. Suki began with a backflip, and then levitated slightly above the ground as to give his feet a chance to attack as well, as each creature came at him he batted them away with his tail, and if any should get through that, he was prepared with his fists. After several minutes of this attack Suki grew angry, they did no damage yet were very annoying. And so Suki decided it was time to counter. Slamming his tail into one of them as hard as he could, he sent the small being flying into another, and crashing into a large boulder behind them.
He then flashed behind a group of Saibamen with his hand held out at them, a ball of ki energy formed in his hand as his eyes squinted at the clearly confused green monsters. However, as the ball got larger the men attacked, all at once leaping at Suki, he however would not be harmed. He released the ball but not all at once, as though chunks were flying off, each one striking a different Saibamen. On contact the alien creatures began to explode, one by one, as each blast took another life, however as one died, another appeared to take its place. Suki did dispatch each one; all of the duplicates, each original, and every living being beside him would feel the burning darkness that was Suki's power.
And as he finished, he landed breathing heavily. He had not expected the first level to take such power out of him, and little did he know it would only get worse from there. Just as he was prepared to continue, a small green Saibamen leapt out at Suki from behind, clinging to him, and exploding.
The smoke had not yet cleared when the noise could be heard, as if a computer announcer had appeared saying
<Round I Complete>
The smoke cleared with Suki on one knee, he had been injured by this stupid creature, he had let his guard down assuming the monsters had no strategy, he had been wrong.
<Round II Begin!>
As suki opened his eyes it was as though he had yet again appeared in a new world, this one however was cold, almost as cold as his home planet. This was Suki's advantage, he would have no problem fighting a creature in this colder weather.
As suki stood, dusting himself off, he was immediately acquainted with the Neanderthal that would next take up residence in the training room. A large behemoth roughly 8 feet tall threw his furry paw into the ground where suki was standing. Suki IT's away from the beast and gritted his teeth
"What the hell is that thing!"
Little did he know that was not the only one, two others took a swing at him simultaneously, the third one making direct contact throwing him into the snow. The snow did not pad his fall as much as suki had hoped, and actually rather stung as suki stood back up. He would have to think quickly if he was going to defeat these creatures. And sure enough before he could get a single coherent though out, another attack struck him, putting him deeper into the hole he was already in, however the moment suki was able, he leapt out shooting a death beam from his right index finger, the beam struck the beast causing him to stumble back, however much to the dismay of Suki, it did not even break the skin.
Suki had figured out what he would do, as the first creature swung at him, he used his telekinetic powers to pull the other yeti closer to him. This caused the first yeti to strike the second. And sure enough being dumb animals, the yeti began fighting each other. This left only one for suki to death with. He looked over at the creature that was running towards him. Suki lifted a large amount of snow from the ground and lunged it at the beast. The yeti used both hands to throw down the ice, and as his arms were lowered, suki used the opportunity to use another death beam, this one aimed at the yeti's eye. It was a success striking into the creature and coming out the back end of its skull, this sent it tumbling to the ground.
Suki then turned to face the two creatures that were left fighting each other. One of them was victorious and turned back to suki and began running towards him as fast as he could. Suki had anticipated this as he directed himself just behind the large hole he had created with the Saibamen. the yeti using its poor intellect and tunnel vision fell into the hole, and the moment it did, Suki used an energy blast on a nearby hill to create a large avalanche. Before the yeti could get out, it was struck by the falling snow, and buried alive underneath several feet of snow, rock, and mud
Silence surrounds the area, the wind whipping past Suki's now bleeding head was the only thing he could hear. The beasts were slain, but suki wasn’t done.
___________________________________________________________
Gurin sat with the other Scientists whom were conducting the experiment and watched as the battle intensified, he even cringed as Suki was struck into the ground. This was the first time he feared for his lords life, he suddenly came to the realization that Suki would never give up, so if this was the easiest the simulation had to offer, it could prove fatal for the icer within.
Gurin stood and walked to the head agent, the man was typing furiously on a computer, the screen was flashing several bright colors, however this was as far as suki could understand. He pulled up a chair and spoke to the man.
G: Hey, make sure not to kill him, he is stubborn and probably wont follow your rule about surrendering. You guys have a great machine here, but lets not go overboard.
The agent turned to Gurin; his goggles covered his eyes, more than likely helping him decode the flashing colors that plagued his screen. He was smiling a large, crooked, yellow smile and said much to the surprise to Gurin.
A: Yes...that would be a tragedy wouldn’t it.
___________________________________________________________
Suki knew that the next challenge would only be worse, and decided it would be best for him to transform. He took this momentary silence to grow. His muscles expanded, his head appeared to shrink slightly, and his horns grew elongated. His wounds were covered by a new set of skin, and his Ki spread throughout his body once more, he had grown into his second form, just in time to here the words
<Round III>
Opening his eyes again he finds himself in a wasteland, the dust flew about in a whirlwind in the background, and behind him was a large cliffs edge, leading into what appeared to be no where. Suki looked down and let out a smile, he knew how he would be killing this enemy. It seemed like a foolproof plan that is until the enemy appeared. Towering over him at a massive 30 ft high, with one eye and what was a classic and almost cliché club, it was a Cyclops, and a large one at that.
Suki leapt into the air, only to be struck by a massive club, throwing him into then ground, and almost off the cliffs edge
Damnit
Suki thought as he looked back up at his monstrous friend, who was already preparing his next attack slamming the large club into the ground again. Suki however would not be fooled twice by his speed, he IT'd directly above the hit, landing on the now tilted Club, and then ran up the club, up the clops' arm and up to his face, he prepared an energy blast to the creatures eye when an unprecedented energy began to form in the pupil. It then became obvious to Suki what was about to happen. Rolling off the creatures shoulder and back to the ground he barely avoided the massive amount of energy that poured from the giant’s eye, Suki now knew what he had to do.
Jumping to the top of a nearby plateau suki positioned himself at the perfect spot between him and the Cyclops, and the Cyclops began to charge his beam again. However, this time suki would not dodge.
He met the energy head on with his own attack. Holding his arm out, palm flattened to his opponent he yelled out...
"Punisher Cannon!"
The cannon shot out of his arm and collided with the eye beam that the Cyclops shot, and then the clash began. Suki had never actually clashed with energy before, this was his first time, and for a first time suki was convinced that he would die without question. The beam from the Cyclops had the immediate advantage as it overtook Suki’s attack. This made suki clearly agitated.
"No, no Damnit, I will not be beaten! HRA!"
Forcing out more ki, the blast lock was completed, the beam flew and collided with the Cyclops who began to stagger backwards, dropping his massive club and clutching his eye, this was Suki’s chance, he held out his hand once more, this time to levitate the club, raising it to the beasts chest, and thrusting forward causing it to fall off of the mountains edge.
Suki began to breath heavily as the area cleared again, he was now standing in what appeared to be a room of black and blue blocks, the room itself seemed to be highly technological, as if it were its own 3d figure. He frowned and curled his nose as the voice spoke.
<Round IV>
No break, well then i will have to take this a little more seriously.
Just as he thought this he heard a distinct laughter, turning he saw what appeared to be a small monkey like creature, no larger than the average ferret. it was so small that Suki was surprised it was even fighting him.
Suki finally decided to speak saying
"What is this a joke?"
As he finished a portal opened next to the monkey, it stepped into the portal and disappeared. Suki was now alone, and this agitated him more than anything else. Suki turned looking around the room and then yelled out.
"Damnit get back here! I demand it! I am not amused!"
With those last words, the monkey did re-appear, directly behind suki, and struck him in the back with full force, sending suki flying forward, it then disappeared again. As suki stood back up the monkey appeared this time kicking suki in the ass, throwing him flat on his face forward. Suki, whom was now clearly angry stood up quickly and was quickly kneed in the face by the teleporting monkey.
The barrage continued for several minutes, the monkey would appear and strike and suki before he had time to respond, and even though suki had stronger skin, it had been battered in his last fight, leaving him defenseless against the attacks this creature was dishing out.
Suki only needed a few more moments before he decided how he would take out this opponent. The next time the monkey appeared Suki used his tail, this was much faster than the creature expected, it struck the monkey forcing it out of the portal realm and out into the open, and as it fell the tail latched on around its neck choking it.
Suki, whom had been beaten badly by this creature held its face with his right hand, completely covering its mouth, nose, and eyes.
"You damn monkey, I’ll show you"
With that, he released a punisher beam that needless to say, did kill the monkey, thoroughly blowing its brains throughout the room.
__________________________________________
Gurin continued to watch, as the monkey began ripping through Suki's armor tough skin, he knew that it was time to speak with the agent again.
G: Hey, i told you to take it down a notch man
he put his arm on the agent and knew at that very moment that this was nothing more than a trap, a mere ploy by the scientists of the planet to kill Suki. He could tell this by the skin of the man he touched, it was cold.... its was...an android.
This made combat the only option; the androids head rolled around 180 degree's and looked Gurin in the eyes, and immediately shot out two small eye beams. Gurin dodged by ducking under his chair, and the moment he was safe countered with a kick upwards, this however was stopped by another scientist who shot a ki blast at the Namek.
5 agents, not counting the one who had relocated to a laptop behind a bolted security door, now surrounded Gurin. He would have to fight through if he hoped to save Lord Suki. Hopefully Suki would be able to care for himself until Gurin could help him.
__________________________________________
<Round V>
Without a moment to lose, suki found himself in a new area, this one was a swamp like area, it was terribly humid, and was surrounded by both moss and murky water. Suddenly leaping from the tree's, and the water, came several hundred spiders, some small, some larger. Suki began shooting several small beams at them, however this did limited damage as the creatures still made their way towards him, crawling all over him and biting, each one biting with a different type of venom.
Suki's bruised and battered skin from the last few fights began to take its toll, and the skin was not tough enough to keep out the venom. It began to make its way through his blood and into his body.
Just as hope seemed lost, out of the mound of spiders came a spike, impaling one of the larger one, and after that another, suddenly Suki's now massive head broke through the spiders, and without a moment to waste Suki jumped into the air, as high as it would take him, holding out both hands and yelling out
"Punisher Spread!"
The attack began to strike the ground repeatedly, making sure that every square inch was covered in smoldering ash, as this meteor strike blew through the spiders like they were nothing, the light show was nothing short of impressive, creating a purple haze of energy that sure enough would be followed by the blood of his enemies. Suki began to laugh as the spiders were killed one at a time, and after a few moments he was finished, the attack a success, and better yet the gloomy swamp was no longer a swamp. The moss was gone, the tree's destroyed, and the water gone as well. Overall, it had been transformed into a massive uneven mass of craters
Suki dropped to the ground, now in his third form, and although his skin was once again tough, and his ki had been returned, his health did not improve. He was still crippled from the venom that flowed through his veins, it was crippling, making it hard for him to move, and even think properly. and of course just to make matters worse he could hear clearly in the background, beyond the destruction, dust, and death that he had created, something far more frustrating.
<Round VI>
He had not even a moment to rest before the siren did sing its song of death. And again, he was transported someplace foreign to him. This one looked to be planet Namek, he knew this only from pictures he had seen, the blue grass and green water was a dead give away, if not the round tree's and the unreasonably warm weather. Yes, this was the home world of those Nameks, and sure enough, his next opponents would be nothing more than a few Namek die hards.
Four of them stepped forward, however these were not real Nameks, they couldn’t be, their Power level far exceeded any real Namek. Attempting to stand but to no avail Suki was forced to his knees by the venom pumping through his veins.
The Nameks began their assault, each one throwing a punch or a kick to the already downed Suki, who was less than satisfied with the predicament he found himself in. Suki, mustering all the power in his body grabbed the leg of one Namek and used a Ki blast to blow the Nameks ankle clean off his leg. This sent him flying backwards, landing in the water. The other two however would still be harder to deal with.
However Suki did get his second wind, and used it as quickly as he could appearing behind the first Namek, and as if using his tail as a spear, impaled the Namek through the chest, then using him as a shield against the others who began to fire ki blasts at the icer. Their comrade who lay dead on Suki’s tail however blocked this.
Suki then removed the body by lunging it at a nearby Namek who caught his fallen friend, only to be blind sided by Suki's knee to his nose. And as he flew back, suki used his incredible speed to get behind the Namek and throw a punch to his back, this punch crippled him over on his hand and knee's, Suki then levitated the Namek up to his level, and holding out a single finger shot the Namek in the heart with his cruel death beam.
The last remaining Namek looked aw struck as suki stepped closer to him, his alien form although appeared smiling, was not pleased in his eyes, he was tired of this training however he would never surrender to these creeps, he would win, and then never complete this training again.
The Namek however would not be taken down easily, he put his hands together, and much to the utter disappointment of suki began to grow, he had unlocked his inner potential and grown to the size of the Cyclops he had fought earlier.
Suki suddenly froze, not out of fear, but rather because again the venom had caught him in a bad place. He was trapped in place as the Namek attacked, each attack throwing suki several yards before the Namek appeared again to throw him the other direction. Suki was helpless and forced to be thrown about like a rag doll. And as the Namek appeared for the what seemed like twentieth blow, instead grabbed suki with both hands and began to squeeze, saying something along the lines of "You killed my brothers" or some other gibberish. Suki however was focusing his Ki, he needed to focus to the point that he could break the venom from his system, this crushing paralysis was forcing him to be...well...crushed.
And then it happened. The venom broke once more, and this time suki would finish the job, first, he forced his spikes with all his might into the nameks skin, causing him to scream out in pain as his hands began to bleed. Then as his grip loosened, Suki flew out, and pointed both hands out at his opponent letting out another Punisher Spread, this time into the face of this giant Namek, who took each and every blast into the face, forcing him not only to the ground, but to shrink back to his normal form, passed out.
Suki tossed his body in the water and let out a sigh. The venom had begun to wear off now; it would be a fair fight once again. But he would not get much of a break, not from these people.
________________________________________________________
Gurin began the physical attack, guarding against punches, with his forearm and folded leg, and the moment an quarter was given, he countered, first with a hard kick to the head of a nearby android, throwing it into the corner, and immediately raised his arm to clip the android that was coming at him, he then turned his head to a third and let loose a large demon wave, blowing through the droid.
They were not all that strong, but there were many of them, and that made it far more difficult. Gurin stretched his arm out striking another and smashing in its face, he then used that body, swinging his arm wildly about smashing into other droids, yet they kept coming, it almost seemed as though the onslaught would never end, and Gurin was not like Suki, he did not have multiple forms to fight with, once he used up his energy, he would be defeated, and surely so would suki.
_________________________________________________________
<Round VII>
Suki rose and before him stood what appeared to be an android, one of considerable strength. Suki could only tell this because of his prior enemies, he wouldn’t be fighting something that was not superior to the last. And sure enough once they engaged the sparks began to fly.
They were both lightening fast, striking each other with a deadly precision that hadn’t been seen throughout the entire fight. Suki threw out Ki Blasts faster than he ever had, stressing his already weakened Ki to the point that it began to hurt his body.
The android however appeared unaffected by energy usage, as if this machine never ran out of energy. His ki remained constant. Although Suki was stronger, the android was going to outlast him in battle, and with such a powerful stamina, Suki began to wonder how he would win.
"This is unacceptable...I cant be beaten by someone.... something...that cant even feel....well....FEEL THIS!"
Suki raised his two index fingers and began to fire off death beams, using both of his fingers, mixed with his enhance power level, he was able to send out a barrage of death beam, one after another striking the android, at first not doing nearly as much damage as they could, however one after another they began to dent into the androids metallic skin, and soon his robotic friend was being struck through with the overly powerful technique, almost to the point of overkill the android began to spark, and soon it was over.
Suki began to breath heavily, he had truly been pushed to his limit in each form, he would have no chance at continuing this fight if he didn’t....if he didn’t make the next move....If he didn’t show this training what it was like to face death itself.
Suki stood up straight and put his arms out at his side, he began to levitate in the air as dark matter began to surround him. The sky around them had become darkened, and everything seemed to lose its energy, the nearby plants began to wilt and die at the power being emitted, all local animals began to run and hide as the matter grew larger, encasing around the icer and making a sharp whistling noise, as the matter began to create a wind that stuck the ground around them.
As the matter began to slowly clear, the words could be heard in the background
<Round VIII>
An alien creature stood on a nearby asteroid; he appeared slightly confused at the mass that was in front of him.
A: Um.... I........Is that....Um
Before the alien could get out a coherent sentence the mass faded, and standing in his presence, was a power level that even he could feel, one that was so massive it caused the planet to shake, yes indeed he had transformed into his fourth, and final form.
The creature looked at him, his mouth ajar and said loudly
A: You don’t look anything like the thing they said i was fighting!
Before the thing could say anything further, Suki appeared in front of him with a jab of his tail, crippling the alien. Whatever cool technique he knew, would be foreign to the training universe as suki without even thinking about it shot a death beam into the back of his brain, and killed the creature quickly and without hassle.
"Hmm....it seems i should have done this from the beginning..."
________________________________________________
Taking out what appeared to be his thirtieth android Gurin looked over at the monitor in the room, he witnessed the transformation and knew that this could only get worse from here, with no where to turn Suki would have to fight all out, and the agent would no doubt have something up his sleeve.
He looked over at the bolted door, and knew he had to get in there; he had to stop the main android if Suki had any chance of winning. Running full force at the door Gurin activated his true Namek, and as he grew slammed into the Door, knocking it off of its hinges and throwing it across the room, he immediately shrunk back to face his opponent, the agent was typing furiously on his laptop and with a final press of a brightly colored button let out a smile.
He spoke clearly, and softly
<Round IX>
Gurin froze, he couldnt imagine why the android was smiling, what did he know, what had he sent after suki?
________________________________________________
Suki heard the announcement and shrugged, he did not fear whatever was next, how could he fear something that was weaker than he was, and since nothing is stronger than Suki in his final form, anything after this was child’s play.
Suki couldnt have been more wrong as standing before him was a man, black hair, standing straight up in a wild manor, with a small hairy tail coming from his back end. He brandished a scouter on his face and let out a cocky smile saying softly
?: Now its time to show you what real fear is Touketsuki Yakedo
With that a veil of blue energy surrounded the man, his hair grew upward and seemed to even change colors to this Blue. He was growing more powerful with each second, as though he was....
Suki took a step back, never before had he been intimidated, but this, these were the signs his parents had warned him about, this was without a doubt the creature that he had been taught to fear all of his life. This was not only a Saiyan but.... Could it be a....Super Saiyan?!
All these thoughts raced through his head until the Saiyan attacked, each blow was massive and caused shockwaves throughout the area. Suki countered with equally powerful attacks, however his fear caused him to keep his attacks close, that way he could guard himself, he had lost his blood thirst and was not fighting with the only creature in the universe capable of standing up to him.
Suki let out multiple blasts of pure energy, something that would kill any normal creature, however was nothing more than a minor strike to this Saiyan. And as the fight lingered on it became more than obvious, that Suki was not only scared but genuinely feared for his life. He was even visibly shaken, something no one had ever seen of the lord, not even his parents.
However something changed, something that nobody expected, Suki's gaze changed as the Saiyan began to boast, he looked intently at the man as he laughed and claimed how much stronger he was. And then without a moment to spare Suki held out a finger and shot the Saiyan with a death beam into the stomach. As if in slow motion, the beam struck through the Saiyan, catching him off guard and dropping him to his knee's.
Suki stepped forward as the Saiyan began to cough up blood, he yelled out through hacks.
?: But...I...Im the Super Saiyan you fear.
Suki stood next to him and began to laugh.
"I have found out the weakness of this machine, it is only as powerful as I can fathom. You are using my mind against me, and I will not be fooled"
The Saiyan looked up, with what can only be called genuine fear in his eyes and looked at Suki with a confused fearful gaze.
"I have never combated a super Saiyan before, as a matter of fact to my knowledge none exist. Nice try using a fear tactic but, im afraid i have figured you out. You are no better than any other common monkey."
With that Suki put his foot atop the Saiyan head, and cleanly smashed it into the ground, ending the mans pathetic life.
_________________________________________________
Gurin struggled with the Android for the entire fight with the Saiyan, however this android would not be taken out easily, the two exchanged blows and as Suki finished his fight, Gurin and the droid both looked at the laptop, wondering who would get there first. If the droid did put in level 10 it could be devastating, a battle that would no doubt kill suki without any quarter. Gurin and the agent made a run for it, and Gurin even outstretched his arm, but the android had something Gurin didn’t. The ability to access the computer from a distance, and so before Gurin could reach the computer it activated, a red light began to flash in the base as an alarm sounded
<Warning, final level imminent>
And with that it was done, the simulation began, and Suki appeared on planet Kold, of course in his mind still, but not in any way different. It was the creature that did stand before him that suki could not believe.
It was....
Himself.
The final level was Suki in his fourth form. He looked himself up and down for only a moment before hearing the words he knew all to well.
<Round X>
Without a second to spare Suki attacked himself, the two clashed like titans creating large explosions, and craters in their wake, however with every move that suki made, his counter part made the same move. It was like fighting someone that knew your every move, your every tactic.
The two fought for several minutes before Suki realized it was futile, and that unless he had something else up his sleeve he would not be able to win this fight.
"How to defeat myself..."
Suki then had the greatest idea he had ever thought of. He came to the realization that the only way the simulation could know about Suki in his final form was if he attacked in it, each of these attacks were all things that suki had done throughout the fight, so his only hope was something unique, something new.... and strong.
And so suki did it, holding up both arms he created a massive ball of red, purple, and black death. It was his death ball. He locked onto himself and with a smile yelled out
"No one will stand in my way, not even myself!"
The ball was met by a punisher cannon that immediately faded in the wake of such a powerful attack. Suki had without a doubt claimed not only a kill, but done something more than he realized.
___________________________________________________
Suddenly the room began to shake, Gurin fell backwards, out of energy and exhausted he watched as the android stepped over his, pointing his hand at the fallen Namek and preparing a finisher, when the earthquake began. The red flashing began again and the android turned out of fear to his computer that read; OVERLOAD
Suddenly the scouter on Suki's face shattered, and immediately out of it stood suki, not in his first form, oh no, but in his final form. The power was so intense that it broke the machine; it had taken suki out by force. He had not only beaten all ten simulations but also destroyed the very fabric of cyberspace that he was in.
The android looked over and shot a small beam that suki deflected with each and then with one swift motion sent a beam into the androids head, blowing it up instantly.
The facility was now on fire, and suki focused his energy, and his skin began to grow scales, he was once again short and small, he was also exhausted. He looked over at Gurin and said coldly
"Im not carrying you out, lets go"
The two left the facility in tatters, and Suki had proven yet again that being the strongest in the universe meant that he could beat anyone....even himself.
Several weeks after Suki's tirade on the small moon planet he inevitably did grow bored once again. However, unlike before the council was well aware of this boredom, and was prepared to act on it before more lives were lost.
They had been spending several months on this new room. A room with the ability to train in ways never thought possible. It was said that this room was capable of creating images and thoughts to physically and mentally test the resolve of whoever was facing them. Its power was said to be unlimited, and that even the strongest warriors would never complete the training, that ultimately all who entered would have to surrender before they could leave. This would humble anyone who entered the arena and give them a taste of reality, so that even the strongest warriors could be humbled and taught their limits.
This was a truly genius task, one that took months to concoct, and years to plan. Yet, the council presented the plans before suki, suggesting that he be the first warrior to test the machine.
Suki, finding that the mundane activities of the day-to-day activities on kold had become droll and meaningless, agreed to the test. He decided that anything that claimed to be better than him would fall regardless of how great it was.
The machine functioned on 10 levels; each one pitted you against an opponent of equivocal strength. The first was a simple task, that got more difficult over time, however because this was the first test, no one was sure what exactly would occur at each level, however scientist were ready for whatever may happen.
Suki stepped into the room, it was larger inside than it appeared on the outside, and in the center sat a small scouter, the scouter was to be placed on the challenger, and they would immediately be transported to whichever level they selected.
Suki took a step forward and put the scouter on his eye, motioning to the lab coats to start the machine, and the moment he did so, he was transported to a village, it was small and surrounded by natives, he heard in his head
<Level I>
Suki looked around, the scouter on his face had disappeared, and as he touched his face, the scouter could not be felt. It was as though it did not exist.
"No matter"
Suki said looking around him. The shacks were made of a flimsy wood material, and out of them gave several small green creatures, each one was shorter than even suki standing no taller than 3 feet, they had sharp claws and red eyes. It was clear to Suki what these creatures were
"Saibamen? We got rid of these creatures for being obsolete centuries ago."
Before suki could ponder further the creatures began their onslaught, each one throwing scratches, punches, and kicks. Suki began with a backflip, and then levitated slightly above the ground as to give his feet a chance to attack as well, as each creature came at him he batted them away with his tail, and if any should get through that, he was prepared with his fists. After several minutes of this attack Suki grew angry, they did no damage yet were very annoying. And so Suki decided it was time to counter. Slamming his tail into one of them as hard as he could, he sent the small being flying into another, and crashing into a large boulder behind them.
He then flashed behind a group of Saibamen with his hand held out at them, a ball of ki energy formed in his hand as his eyes squinted at the clearly confused green monsters. However, as the ball got larger the men attacked, all at once leaping at Suki, he however would not be harmed. He released the ball but not all at once, as though chunks were flying off, each one striking a different Saibamen. On contact the alien creatures began to explode, one by one, as each blast took another life, however as one died, another appeared to take its place. Suki did dispatch each one; all of the duplicates, each original, and every living being beside him would feel the burning darkness that was Suki's power.
And as he finished, he landed breathing heavily. He had not expected the first level to take such power out of him, and little did he know it would only get worse from there. Just as he was prepared to continue, a small green Saibamen leapt out at Suki from behind, clinging to him, and exploding.
The smoke had not yet cleared when the noise could be heard, as if a computer announcer had appeared saying
<Round I Complete>
The smoke cleared with Suki on one knee, he had been injured by this stupid creature, he had let his guard down assuming the monsters had no strategy, he had been wrong.
<Round II Begin!>
As suki opened his eyes it was as though he had yet again appeared in a new world, this one however was cold, almost as cold as his home planet. This was Suki's advantage, he would have no problem fighting a creature in this colder weather.
As suki stood, dusting himself off, he was immediately acquainted with the Neanderthal that would next take up residence in the training room. A large behemoth roughly 8 feet tall threw his furry paw into the ground where suki was standing. Suki IT's away from the beast and gritted his teeth
"What the hell is that thing!"
Little did he know that was not the only one, two others took a swing at him simultaneously, the third one making direct contact throwing him into the snow. The snow did not pad his fall as much as suki had hoped, and actually rather stung as suki stood back up. He would have to think quickly if he was going to defeat these creatures. And sure enough before he could get a single coherent though out, another attack struck him, putting him deeper into the hole he was already in, however the moment suki was able, he leapt out shooting a death beam from his right index finger, the beam struck the beast causing him to stumble back, however much to the dismay of Suki, it did not even break the skin.
Suki had figured out what he would do, as the first creature swung at him, he used his telekinetic powers to pull the other yeti closer to him. This caused the first yeti to strike the second. And sure enough being dumb animals, the yeti began fighting each other. This left only one for suki to death with. He looked over at the creature that was running towards him. Suki lifted a large amount of snow from the ground and lunged it at the beast. The yeti used both hands to throw down the ice, and as his arms were lowered, suki used the opportunity to use another death beam, this one aimed at the yeti's eye. It was a success striking into the creature and coming out the back end of its skull, this sent it tumbling to the ground.
Suki then turned to face the two creatures that were left fighting each other. One of them was victorious and turned back to suki and began running towards him as fast as he could. Suki had anticipated this as he directed himself just behind the large hole he had created with the Saibamen. the yeti using its poor intellect and tunnel vision fell into the hole, and the moment it did, Suki used an energy blast on a nearby hill to create a large avalanche. Before the yeti could get out, it was struck by the falling snow, and buried alive underneath several feet of snow, rock, and mud
Silence surrounds the area, the wind whipping past Suki's now bleeding head was the only thing he could hear. The beasts were slain, but suki wasn’t done.
___________________________________________________________
Gurin sat with the other Scientists whom were conducting the experiment and watched as the battle intensified, he even cringed as Suki was struck into the ground. This was the first time he feared for his lords life, he suddenly came to the realization that Suki would never give up, so if this was the easiest the simulation had to offer, it could prove fatal for the icer within.
Gurin stood and walked to the head agent, the man was typing furiously on a computer, the screen was flashing several bright colors, however this was as far as suki could understand. He pulled up a chair and spoke to the man.
G: Hey, make sure not to kill him, he is stubborn and probably wont follow your rule about surrendering. You guys have a great machine here, but lets not go overboard.
The agent turned to Gurin; his goggles covered his eyes, more than likely helping him decode the flashing colors that plagued his screen. He was smiling a large, crooked, yellow smile and said much to the surprise to Gurin.
A: Yes...that would be a tragedy wouldn’t it.
___________________________________________________________
Suki knew that the next challenge would only be worse, and decided it would be best for him to transform. He took this momentary silence to grow. His muscles expanded, his head appeared to shrink slightly, and his horns grew elongated. His wounds were covered by a new set of skin, and his Ki spread throughout his body once more, he had grown into his second form, just in time to here the words
<Round III>
Opening his eyes again he finds himself in a wasteland, the dust flew about in a whirlwind in the background, and behind him was a large cliffs edge, leading into what appeared to be no where. Suki looked down and let out a smile, he knew how he would be killing this enemy. It seemed like a foolproof plan that is until the enemy appeared. Towering over him at a massive 30 ft high, with one eye and what was a classic and almost cliché club, it was a Cyclops, and a large one at that.
Suki leapt into the air, only to be struck by a massive club, throwing him into then ground, and almost off the cliffs edge
Damnit
Suki thought as he looked back up at his monstrous friend, who was already preparing his next attack slamming the large club into the ground again. Suki however would not be fooled twice by his speed, he IT'd directly above the hit, landing on the now tilted Club, and then ran up the club, up the clops' arm and up to his face, he prepared an energy blast to the creatures eye when an unprecedented energy began to form in the pupil. It then became obvious to Suki what was about to happen. Rolling off the creatures shoulder and back to the ground he barely avoided the massive amount of energy that poured from the giant’s eye, Suki now knew what he had to do.
Jumping to the top of a nearby plateau suki positioned himself at the perfect spot between him and the Cyclops, and the Cyclops began to charge his beam again. However, this time suki would not dodge.
He met the energy head on with his own attack. Holding his arm out, palm flattened to his opponent he yelled out...
"Punisher Cannon!"
The cannon shot out of his arm and collided with the eye beam that the Cyclops shot, and then the clash began. Suki had never actually clashed with energy before, this was his first time, and for a first time suki was convinced that he would die without question. The beam from the Cyclops had the immediate advantage as it overtook Suki’s attack. This made suki clearly agitated.
"No, no Damnit, I will not be beaten! HRA!"
Forcing out more ki, the blast lock was completed, the beam flew and collided with the Cyclops who began to stagger backwards, dropping his massive club and clutching his eye, this was Suki’s chance, he held out his hand once more, this time to levitate the club, raising it to the beasts chest, and thrusting forward causing it to fall off of the mountains edge.
Suki began to breath heavily as the area cleared again, he was now standing in what appeared to be a room of black and blue blocks, the room itself seemed to be highly technological, as if it were its own 3d figure. He frowned and curled his nose as the voice spoke.
<Round IV>
No break, well then i will have to take this a little more seriously.
Just as he thought this he heard a distinct laughter, turning he saw what appeared to be a small monkey like creature, no larger than the average ferret. it was so small that Suki was surprised it was even fighting him.
Suki finally decided to speak saying
"What is this a joke?"
As he finished a portal opened next to the monkey, it stepped into the portal and disappeared. Suki was now alone, and this agitated him more than anything else. Suki turned looking around the room and then yelled out.
"Damnit get back here! I demand it! I am not amused!"
With those last words, the monkey did re-appear, directly behind suki, and struck him in the back with full force, sending suki flying forward, it then disappeared again. As suki stood back up the monkey appeared this time kicking suki in the ass, throwing him flat on his face forward. Suki, whom was now clearly angry stood up quickly and was quickly kneed in the face by the teleporting monkey.
The barrage continued for several minutes, the monkey would appear and strike and suki before he had time to respond, and even though suki had stronger skin, it had been battered in his last fight, leaving him defenseless against the attacks this creature was dishing out.
Suki only needed a few more moments before he decided how he would take out this opponent. The next time the monkey appeared Suki used his tail, this was much faster than the creature expected, it struck the monkey forcing it out of the portal realm and out into the open, and as it fell the tail latched on around its neck choking it.
Suki, whom had been beaten badly by this creature held its face with his right hand, completely covering its mouth, nose, and eyes.
"You damn monkey, I’ll show you"
With that, he released a punisher beam that needless to say, did kill the monkey, thoroughly blowing its brains throughout the room.
__________________________________________
Gurin continued to watch, as the monkey began ripping through Suki's armor tough skin, he knew that it was time to speak with the agent again.
G: Hey, i told you to take it down a notch man
he put his arm on the agent and knew at that very moment that this was nothing more than a trap, a mere ploy by the scientists of the planet to kill Suki. He could tell this by the skin of the man he touched, it was cold.... its was...an android.
This made combat the only option; the androids head rolled around 180 degree's and looked Gurin in the eyes, and immediately shot out two small eye beams. Gurin dodged by ducking under his chair, and the moment he was safe countered with a kick upwards, this however was stopped by another scientist who shot a ki blast at the Namek.
5 agents, not counting the one who had relocated to a laptop behind a bolted security door, now surrounded Gurin. He would have to fight through if he hoped to save Lord Suki. Hopefully Suki would be able to care for himself until Gurin could help him.
__________________________________________
<Round V>
Without a moment to lose, suki found himself in a new area, this one was a swamp like area, it was terribly humid, and was surrounded by both moss and murky water. Suddenly leaping from the tree's, and the water, came several hundred spiders, some small, some larger. Suki began shooting several small beams at them, however this did limited damage as the creatures still made their way towards him, crawling all over him and biting, each one biting with a different type of venom.
Suki's bruised and battered skin from the last few fights began to take its toll, and the skin was not tough enough to keep out the venom. It began to make its way through his blood and into his body.
Just as hope seemed lost, out of the mound of spiders came a spike, impaling one of the larger one, and after that another, suddenly Suki's now massive head broke through the spiders, and without a moment to waste Suki jumped into the air, as high as it would take him, holding out both hands and yelling out
"Punisher Spread!"
The attack began to strike the ground repeatedly, making sure that every square inch was covered in smoldering ash, as this meteor strike blew through the spiders like they were nothing, the light show was nothing short of impressive, creating a purple haze of energy that sure enough would be followed by the blood of his enemies. Suki began to laugh as the spiders were killed one at a time, and after a few moments he was finished, the attack a success, and better yet the gloomy swamp was no longer a swamp. The moss was gone, the tree's destroyed, and the water gone as well. Overall, it had been transformed into a massive uneven mass of craters
Suki dropped to the ground, now in his third form, and although his skin was once again tough, and his ki had been returned, his health did not improve. He was still crippled from the venom that flowed through his veins, it was crippling, making it hard for him to move, and even think properly. and of course just to make matters worse he could hear clearly in the background, beyond the destruction, dust, and death that he had created, something far more frustrating.
<Round VI>
He had not even a moment to rest before the siren did sing its song of death. And again, he was transported someplace foreign to him. This one looked to be planet Namek, he knew this only from pictures he had seen, the blue grass and green water was a dead give away, if not the round tree's and the unreasonably warm weather. Yes, this was the home world of those Nameks, and sure enough, his next opponents would be nothing more than a few Namek die hards.
Four of them stepped forward, however these were not real Nameks, they couldn’t be, their Power level far exceeded any real Namek. Attempting to stand but to no avail Suki was forced to his knees by the venom pumping through his veins.
The Nameks began their assault, each one throwing a punch or a kick to the already downed Suki, who was less than satisfied with the predicament he found himself in. Suki, mustering all the power in his body grabbed the leg of one Namek and used a Ki blast to blow the Nameks ankle clean off his leg. This sent him flying backwards, landing in the water. The other two however would still be harder to deal with.
However Suki did get his second wind, and used it as quickly as he could appearing behind the first Namek, and as if using his tail as a spear, impaled the Namek through the chest, then using him as a shield against the others who began to fire ki blasts at the icer. Their comrade who lay dead on Suki’s tail however blocked this.
Suki then removed the body by lunging it at a nearby Namek who caught his fallen friend, only to be blind sided by Suki's knee to his nose. And as he flew back, suki used his incredible speed to get behind the Namek and throw a punch to his back, this punch crippled him over on his hand and knee's, Suki then levitated the Namek up to his level, and holding out a single finger shot the Namek in the heart with his cruel death beam.
The last remaining Namek looked aw struck as suki stepped closer to him, his alien form although appeared smiling, was not pleased in his eyes, he was tired of this training however he would never surrender to these creeps, he would win, and then never complete this training again.
The Namek however would not be taken down easily, he put his hands together, and much to the utter disappointment of suki began to grow, he had unlocked his inner potential and grown to the size of the Cyclops he had fought earlier.
Suki suddenly froze, not out of fear, but rather because again the venom had caught him in a bad place. He was trapped in place as the Namek attacked, each attack throwing suki several yards before the Namek appeared again to throw him the other direction. Suki was helpless and forced to be thrown about like a rag doll. And as the Namek appeared for the what seemed like twentieth blow, instead grabbed suki with both hands and began to squeeze, saying something along the lines of "You killed my brothers" or some other gibberish. Suki however was focusing his Ki, he needed to focus to the point that he could break the venom from his system, this crushing paralysis was forcing him to be...well...crushed.
And then it happened. The venom broke once more, and this time suki would finish the job, first, he forced his spikes with all his might into the nameks skin, causing him to scream out in pain as his hands began to bleed. Then as his grip loosened, Suki flew out, and pointed both hands out at his opponent letting out another Punisher Spread, this time into the face of this giant Namek, who took each and every blast into the face, forcing him not only to the ground, but to shrink back to his normal form, passed out.
Suki tossed his body in the water and let out a sigh. The venom had begun to wear off now; it would be a fair fight once again. But he would not get much of a break, not from these people.
________________________________________________________
Gurin began the physical attack, guarding against punches, with his forearm and folded leg, and the moment an quarter was given, he countered, first with a hard kick to the head of a nearby android, throwing it into the corner, and immediately raised his arm to clip the android that was coming at him, he then turned his head to a third and let loose a large demon wave, blowing through the droid.
They were not all that strong, but there were many of them, and that made it far more difficult. Gurin stretched his arm out striking another and smashing in its face, he then used that body, swinging his arm wildly about smashing into other droids, yet they kept coming, it almost seemed as though the onslaught would never end, and Gurin was not like Suki, he did not have multiple forms to fight with, once he used up his energy, he would be defeated, and surely so would suki.
_________________________________________________________
<Round VII>
Suki rose and before him stood what appeared to be an android, one of considerable strength. Suki could only tell this because of his prior enemies, he wouldn’t be fighting something that was not superior to the last. And sure enough once they engaged the sparks began to fly.
They were both lightening fast, striking each other with a deadly precision that hadn’t been seen throughout the entire fight. Suki threw out Ki Blasts faster than he ever had, stressing his already weakened Ki to the point that it began to hurt his body.
The android however appeared unaffected by energy usage, as if this machine never ran out of energy. His ki remained constant. Although Suki was stronger, the android was going to outlast him in battle, and with such a powerful stamina, Suki began to wonder how he would win.
"This is unacceptable...I cant be beaten by someone.... something...that cant even feel....well....FEEL THIS!"
Suki raised his two index fingers and began to fire off death beams, using both of his fingers, mixed with his enhance power level, he was able to send out a barrage of death beam, one after another striking the android, at first not doing nearly as much damage as they could, however one after another they began to dent into the androids metallic skin, and soon his robotic friend was being struck through with the overly powerful technique, almost to the point of overkill the android began to spark, and soon it was over.
Suki began to breath heavily, he had truly been pushed to his limit in each form, he would have no chance at continuing this fight if he didn’t....if he didn’t make the next move....If he didn’t show this training what it was like to face death itself.
Suki stood up straight and put his arms out at his side, he began to levitate in the air as dark matter began to surround him. The sky around them had become darkened, and everything seemed to lose its energy, the nearby plants began to wilt and die at the power being emitted, all local animals began to run and hide as the matter grew larger, encasing around the icer and making a sharp whistling noise, as the matter began to create a wind that stuck the ground around them.
As the matter began to slowly clear, the words could be heard in the background
<Round VIII>
An alien creature stood on a nearby asteroid; he appeared slightly confused at the mass that was in front of him.
A: Um.... I........Is that....Um
Before the alien could get out a coherent sentence the mass faded, and standing in his presence, was a power level that even he could feel, one that was so massive it caused the planet to shake, yes indeed he had transformed into his fourth, and final form.
The creature looked at him, his mouth ajar and said loudly
A: You don’t look anything like the thing they said i was fighting!
Before the thing could say anything further, Suki appeared in front of him with a jab of his tail, crippling the alien. Whatever cool technique he knew, would be foreign to the training universe as suki without even thinking about it shot a death beam into the back of his brain, and killed the creature quickly and without hassle.
"Hmm....it seems i should have done this from the beginning..."
________________________________________________
Taking out what appeared to be his thirtieth android Gurin looked over at the monitor in the room, he witnessed the transformation and knew that this could only get worse from here, with no where to turn Suki would have to fight all out, and the agent would no doubt have something up his sleeve.
He looked over at the bolted door, and knew he had to get in there; he had to stop the main android if Suki had any chance of winning. Running full force at the door Gurin activated his true Namek, and as he grew slammed into the Door, knocking it off of its hinges and throwing it across the room, he immediately shrunk back to face his opponent, the agent was typing furiously on his laptop and with a final press of a brightly colored button let out a smile.
He spoke clearly, and softly
<Round IX>
Gurin froze, he couldnt imagine why the android was smiling, what did he know, what had he sent after suki?
________________________________________________
Suki heard the announcement and shrugged, he did not fear whatever was next, how could he fear something that was weaker than he was, and since nothing is stronger than Suki in his final form, anything after this was child’s play.
Suki couldnt have been more wrong as standing before him was a man, black hair, standing straight up in a wild manor, with a small hairy tail coming from his back end. He brandished a scouter on his face and let out a cocky smile saying softly
?: Now its time to show you what real fear is Touketsuki Yakedo
With that a veil of blue energy surrounded the man, his hair grew upward and seemed to even change colors to this Blue. He was growing more powerful with each second, as though he was....
Suki took a step back, never before had he been intimidated, but this, these were the signs his parents had warned him about, this was without a doubt the creature that he had been taught to fear all of his life. This was not only a Saiyan but.... Could it be a....Super Saiyan?!
All these thoughts raced through his head until the Saiyan attacked, each blow was massive and caused shockwaves throughout the area. Suki countered with equally powerful attacks, however his fear caused him to keep his attacks close, that way he could guard himself, he had lost his blood thirst and was not fighting with the only creature in the universe capable of standing up to him.
Suki let out multiple blasts of pure energy, something that would kill any normal creature, however was nothing more than a minor strike to this Saiyan. And as the fight lingered on it became more than obvious, that Suki was not only scared but genuinely feared for his life. He was even visibly shaken, something no one had ever seen of the lord, not even his parents.
However something changed, something that nobody expected, Suki's gaze changed as the Saiyan began to boast, he looked intently at the man as he laughed and claimed how much stronger he was. And then without a moment to spare Suki held out a finger and shot the Saiyan with a death beam into the stomach. As if in slow motion, the beam struck through the Saiyan, catching him off guard and dropping him to his knee's.
Suki stepped forward as the Saiyan began to cough up blood, he yelled out through hacks.
?: But...I...Im the Super Saiyan you fear.
Suki stood next to him and began to laugh.
"I have found out the weakness of this machine, it is only as powerful as I can fathom. You are using my mind against me, and I will not be fooled"
The Saiyan looked up, with what can only be called genuine fear in his eyes and looked at Suki with a confused fearful gaze.
"I have never combated a super Saiyan before, as a matter of fact to my knowledge none exist. Nice try using a fear tactic but, im afraid i have figured you out. You are no better than any other common monkey."
With that Suki put his foot atop the Saiyan head, and cleanly smashed it into the ground, ending the mans pathetic life.
_________________________________________________
Gurin struggled with the Android for the entire fight with the Saiyan, however this android would not be taken out easily, the two exchanged blows and as Suki finished his fight, Gurin and the droid both looked at the laptop, wondering who would get there first. If the droid did put in level 10 it could be devastating, a battle that would no doubt kill suki without any quarter. Gurin and the agent made a run for it, and Gurin even outstretched his arm, but the android had something Gurin didn’t. The ability to access the computer from a distance, and so before Gurin could reach the computer it activated, a red light began to flash in the base as an alarm sounded
<Warning, final level imminent>
And with that it was done, the simulation began, and Suki appeared on planet Kold, of course in his mind still, but not in any way different. It was the creature that did stand before him that suki could not believe.
It was....
Himself.
The final level was Suki in his fourth form. He looked himself up and down for only a moment before hearing the words he knew all to well.
<Round X>
Without a second to spare Suki attacked himself, the two clashed like titans creating large explosions, and craters in their wake, however with every move that suki made, his counter part made the same move. It was like fighting someone that knew your every move, your every tactic.
The two fought for several minutes before Suki realized it was futile, and that unless he had something else up his sleeve he would not be able to win this fight.
"How to defeat myself..."
Suki then had the greatest idea he had ever thought of. He came to the realization that the only way the simulation could know about Suki in his final form was if he attacked in it, each of these attacks were all things that suki had done throughout the fight, so his only hope was something unique, something new.... and strong.
And so suki did it, holding up both arms he created a massive ball of red, purple, and black death. It was his death ball. He locked onto himself and with a smile yelled out
"No one will stand in my way, not even myself!"
The ball was met by a punisher cannon that immediately faded in the wake of such a powerful attack. Suki had without a doubt claimed not only a kill, but done something more than he realized.
___________________________________________________
Suddenly the room began to shake, Gurin fell backwards, out of energy and exhausted he watched as the android stepped over his, pointing his hand at the fallen Namek and preparing a finisher, when the earthquake began. The red flashing began again and the android turned out of fear to his computer that read; OVERLOAD
Suddenly the scouter on Suki's face shattered, and immediately out of it stood suki, not in his first form, oh no, but in his final form. The power was so intense that it broke the machine; it had taken suki out by force. He had not only beaten all ten simulations but also destroyed the very fabric of cyberspace that he was in.
The android looked over and shot a small beam that suki deflected with each and then with one swift motion sent a beam into the androids head, blowing it up instantly.
The facility was now on fire, and suki focused his energy, and his skin began to grow scales, he was once again short and small, he was also exhausted. He looked over at Gurin and said coldly
"Im not carrying you out, lets go"
The two left the facility in tatters, and Suki had proven yet again that being the strongest in the universe meant that he could beat anyone....even himself.
