The Blood saga


Episode 2- Who are you? The mysterious fighters of darkness!!

Gokou’s fist collided with Zarak’s face. The impact threw him back, but he was soon able to regain his balance.
“Hyouchuu-no-ha!” A beam of blew energy slammed into Gokou’s back as he was evading. His eyes went wide open. He tried to talk but nothing came out. He was paralyzed. But he could still see Zarak was suffering as a result of the blast. It has taken a lot out of him to subdue someone with this much power. “You fool! No one beats me. In the end I always win. But I wont be wasting my time with you anymore… my warriors will finish you off.” Zarak still weakened from the blast pressed a button on his wrist as he flew towards the ship. Gohan looked over at his father and was shocked to see him paralyzed.
“Father! Hold on!” Gohan was ready to leave the fight but Tetsujin wasn’t prepared to loose.
“Gen'ei Flash Bomber!” Tetsujin’s hand flashed a large flare at Gohan leaving him momentarily blinded. Using this to his advantage Tetsujin grabbed him by the neck and began to beat him senseless. Pan and Uubu were having just as much trouble with Nenouhsib and Ojouhsib. The two had few abilities but those they did were extremely powerful.
“Life Cycle!” They screamed in unison. Pan and Uubu watched them both zanzoken away.
“Behind us… Masenko-ha!” Pan fired the beam at the two warriors, when it hit their charred bodies began to fall to the ground. Half way to the ground the bodies disintegrated into pure energy.
“What the hell just happened?” Uubu cried in disbelief.
“Uubu! Look out!” Hundreds of chi blasts flew towards Uubu. As the blasts flew towards Uubu Pan noticed something. The more blasts fired from Nenouhsib the more transparent his body became. It finally disappeared when the blasts hit Uubu. It had used up all its energy. It was dead. Pan sighed in relief as the body disintegrated and Uubu emerged from the smoke.
“Grandpa taught you that! I know it!” Uubu laughed and smiled, his expression soon turned serious though as he saw two Ojouhsib’s and one Nenouhsib sneak up on Pan.
“Pan! Look out! Move!” Pan turned around only to see two bodies crumbling and a third having it’s neck snapped.
“V… V… Vegita!”
“Where’s Kakarotto?” His attention shifted to the large blast of energy before he could get an answer. As the blast cleared a semi-unconscious Gohan had been beaten out of Super Saiya-jin. “Bastard. Big Bang Attack!” Vegita fired a ball of powerful energy into Tetsujin. Gohan fell to the ground. His body was flung into the air by a foot soon afterwards but was caught by a figure moving to fast to see.
“Hi! Vegita!” It was Gokou. “Pan. Take Gohan back home. Me and Vegita can handle this.”
“But grandpa I… Let me fight!” Gokou didn’t have anytime to answer as Azaelya began to power up.
“Orochi Nagi!” Azaelya screamed as flames spewed from her hands. Pan was still holding Gohan and found it hard to dodge. Vegita’s left arm was slightly damaged by the flames. But he countered with a medium energy ball. Uubu, on the other hand, merely stood there in the path of the flames. Then in the last split second before the attack hit his pupils disappeared, and a large chi ball grew on his index finger. It absorbed the blast. That wasn’t all though.
“Buu Akuma Nagi!” The blast fired off but began to separate into hundreds upon hundreds of smaller blasts. Each one just as powerful as the original.
“Burning Attack!” Trunks’ burning attack caused Uubu to face him, allowing Gokou to Shunkan Idou down to Azaelya and rescue her from Uubu’s attack. Trunks went to strike Uubu but stopped when his eyes returned to normal. He collapsed and began to fall to the ground. Trunks was tempted to let him fall but his kind heart caused him to help the falling Uubu.
Vegita gritted his teeth and told everyone to leave. “Go now! If you don’t you’ll die!” As if Zarak’s ship had been listening they boosted their shields to maximum. All four Z-Fighters flew upwards with Azaelya and the unconscious Gohan, and Uubu. At first nothing happened. Then the ear-splitting sound of pure energy. Followed by a huge explosion, it was engulfing everything within a 15-km radius.
“Uubu caused that Kakarotto. That means he can still destroy anyone of us. He cannot be turned against us.” Vegita told Gokou as the blast began to calm down. Gokou seemed to avoid the subject.
“Everyone head to Kami’s tower. I’ll meet you there.” Everyone left except for Vegita, Gokou and Azaelya. “Who are you?” She merely stared blankly at him.
“Why is Zarak here!?” Vegita asked gripping her neck.
“Vegita! We need her alive. Killing her now in cold blood will do nothing.” Vegita let go of her.
“I wont be bullied into telling you anything. I have enough power to beat you anyway.” Azaelya flicked her hair back as she flew towards the ship. “Oh and tell Trunks, ‘Thank you’.”
“Bitch. Why does she think she’s so hot.”
“Who cares. We’ll get Dende to tell us something.” Vegita nodded as Gokou performed Shunkan Idou.
“Kikoho!” Tenshinhan screamed as the energy flew from his hands. It collided with the chest of a copy. The copy immediately retaliated with a Kamehameha, or at least started to but Tenshinhan’s Taiyoken blinded it. Tenshinhan threw his elbow behind hi directly into the nose of the second copy. The third copy though, saw this as a prefect opportunity to attack. “Shit!” Tenshinhan’s body was enveloped in chi balls. The explosion was huge and enough to make a group of animals around five kilometers away scurry away for safety.
In the ship of the warriors, Azaelya was laying in her room. Thinking about the small battle they had just had. If we ever hope to get them… we have to appeal to the warriors. We can’t just go around blowing things up. It could be bad. We need them on our side…
Gokou stood on Kami’s Tower looking over the Earth. Dende looked over at him and thought it best to leave him alone. Gohan walked out of the main room of the tower with Pan, Piccolo appeared in front of him.
“I’m leaving…”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Piccolo took in a deep breath and sighed. “These new warriors… I can’t fight them… They know too much… I know too much… The Earth has you to protect it for me… I’ll be going back to Nameck…”
“But you can’t just leave!” Piccolo turned his back to Gohan. I can Gohan… And it’s best if I do… I don’t think you need to know what they’re after… you don’t need to be bought into all of this… Piccolo continued to walk away.
“Piccolo! When are you leaving!?” Gohan called out. Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Piccolo didn’t look back. He walked over to Gokou who was now facing him, with a serious look on his face.
“Piccolo… Why?” Gokou asked not taking his eyes off Piccolo.
“I have no reason to stay… I can’t let any of you be affected by my mistakes. Now move Gokou… I don’t want to hurt you…” Gokou continued to stand in front of him.
“So you’re leaving today?”
“Yes. So move.” Gokou shook his head. Piccolo immediately bought his hand up into Gokou’s face. He was preparing to blast him.
“Can you do it Piccolo? With all these people watching, can you attack me like this?” A strange whistling sound ripped through the air, Piccolo had no time to react as his left arm was sliced off. Piccolo clutched the stump that remained while the blood dripped through gaps between his fingers forming a red puddle on the ground.
“Bastard!” Piccolo said in between his rapid breaths. They slowly returned too normal. Tenshinhan fired another three blasts at Piccolo. Piccolo ripped back dodging them. Lowering his hand Tenshinhan looked around, making sure everyone was okay. “Masenko-ha!” Piccolo screamed at the seemingly reborn Tenshinhan.
“You fool!” He hit it back towards Piccolo. He jumped letting it fly towards Vegita who merely negated the blast with a ki-shield. “Why must you run, Piccolo?” Impossible! How could he be this strong? He’s increased his abilities and chi level… it’s just to high! “Well? Why?”
“I have my reasons… if I remember correctly didn’t you flee life after Chaotzu died…”
Tenshinhan merely laughed. “Dwarfs die earlier than humans do. He couldn’t be wished back. And I didn’t flee life I took a break from training to see Lunch. We had something’s to sort out. Don’t worry though, we did… and ask myself ‘Why do I fight?’…”
“Did you find your answer?”
“Yes. I did. I fight to find an answer to ‘why do I fight?’” Piccolo grinned at Tenshinhan’s newfound philosophy. Piccolo threw down his cape and turban getting ready to fight. Although Tenshinhan wasn’t anticipating this so soon he was till prepared. “I don’t want to fight you Piccolo. But I will.”
“This is pointless.” Vegita stated outright before the two had a chance to get started. “You are both idiots. We should be finding out why they have come here. Not fighting amongst us. Besides, I have no desire to see a fight between those weaker than me…”
Piccolo gathered his cape and turban up. He returned them to his body and walked to the edge of the tower. “Goodbye. My friends…” He took a deep breath and seemingly walked off the edge.
Zarak stood in a dark room looking at a holographic projection of the earth. Seven individual points on the map were glowing an eerie blackish-gray. This is it… we’ve found them… the energy… the power… all of it will be mine… Zarak looked up at the ceiling and began to laugh. His laugh boomed all through the ship echoing off each of the walls. “Ah Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
“Zarak, my liege, Azaelya is gone.”
“I fail to see where I am supposed to be worried.” Zarak said sternly and wearily. “I sent her off to run some errands for me.”
Tetsujin bowed slightly. “Forgive me Zarak.” Tetsujin saw the map. “Have you located all seven of them?”
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I have. Tomorrow we shall begin to apprehend them.”
“But sir, why during the day?” Tetsujin swallowed knowing better than to disagree with Zarak.
Zarak surprisingly did nothing. “We will fight during the day, because I want to meet the Saiya-jin and the earthlings again… we may be able to get them out of hiding a lot easier during the day by threatening some poor people.”
“We could do that--”
“At night, it wouldn’t have the same impact. If they were to wake up halfway through the bargaining, they would not know what was going on and be a nuisance… understand now?” Tetsujin did not like the patronizing approach Zarak was taking but agreed anyway.
The door slid open to reveal Ojouhsib who had been listening to everything and was now anxious to find them.
“Zarak… we should find them as soon as possible! We have to! If those Saiya-jin find them we wont get a second chance.” She exclaimed.
“Calm down. We will.” Zarak looked over at Tetsujin. “We begin tomorrow at sunrise. Rest up. You’ll need all the energy you can muster…”
“So we have 27 hours until we begin?” Zarak nodded while waving him away with his hand. He then turned his attention to Ojouhsib. “You can leave as well.” She didn’t move. “I said you can leave.” Once again she didn’t move. “Go. Now. Don’t make me hurt you.” She was not fazed by the threat at all and continued to stand there.
She narrowed her eyes at him. A ball of chi energy appeared above her head, “I’m invaluable to you! You won’t harm me, I know you to well!”
“While I won’t harm you Tetsujin will and so will Azaelya! But can you harm me. The only person who knows the location of all seven.”
Zarak was right. The map was encrypted, and she couldn’t get to it to decrypt it. The ball stopped growing when it reached a radius of fifty centimeters, and she stood there, holding it above her head with Zarak staring her down.
“Go on. Make a move…” He taunted getting ready to counter anything she threw at him.

Hiya! This is Gokou! It looks like these guys are after the Dragonball's! We don’t know why but soon we’ll be fighting them again. I just know it, but Piccolo was hiding something as well… did it have something to do with the Dragonball's? Or were they really after him and are using the Dragonball's as bait? Find out next time on Dragonball R: These aren’t our Dragonball's! Horror emerges from the shadows!
