[IC] Dragon Ball Z: Dark Ascension

[Stryder]

Wolf heard Kaiflur's words and for a moment his eyes showed sadness but they quickly f;ashed back to his emotionless demeanor. He was warrior and a royal guardsman, he couldn't show his sadness, not now or ever, he had too much pride to do such a thing. "I....I see..." He said, his gaze fixed on hers momentarily before he looked down at the R'yal. "You, vermin! Why have you followed?!" He asked in a serious tone.

[NacNak]

Maximus had returned to him training room, it was pretty banged up, he set the room to repair mode, little drones then entered the room and began to fix it, during that time Maximus went into the room next to it and closed the door, he walked up to the control panel and set the gravity to 100 G's, the machine hummed loudly as the gravity quickly increased. Maximus appeared to have gotten used to the gravity, he quickly did a few mock punches and kicks into the air, he then followed with some acrobatics, jumping backwards in flips, he went on to a full workout to prep to fight, after he was done his mechanical muscles were ready to train, steam vented from his back before he went up to the control panel, he increased the gravity to 135 G's, the machine hummed louder and it made Maximus put some force in his step to move, he then set for the clone to be sent in, Maximus took his place on the other side of the room as a clone was placed in the room with him, Alice watched from her monitor
.
"go get em Maximus..."
Alice said before she got an alert from one of her monitors, it was a scanning device that picked up an unknown power level, she turned to the monitor with a serous look, apparently from her scans the others had already left to find out what it was but to be on the safe side she entered some commands on in her control console and sent a

drone

to investigate
.
meanwhile Maximus was trading blow for blow against the clone in the gravity room, with each strike the room shook violently, powerful shockwaves were given off from the impacts, Maximus finally managed to get in a powerful strike to the clones head which cause it to falter, Maximus used this to get in a powerful kick to the clones stomach which made electricity jump around it from the impact damage, the drone was more then crippled from this, and with that Maximus finished it off with a plasma beam, leaving nothing of the clone left, Maximus went back to the control panel and looked at the settings, the difficulty for the drones were in three categories, Coolers clone, Cell's clone and Janemba's clone. Maximus tilted his head to these, the other two were stronger then the Cooler clones, they could be a challenge to fight them in the current gravity Maximus was set at, but surly they'd be no match for him in normal gravity, but then what the point to fight them, Maximus knew his options and the risks, he ether would fight a Cooler clone in higher gravity or fight a Cell clone in his current gravity, ether way would be challenging, so he chose the third option
.
the drone Alice sent out had finally reached Wolf and the others, it hovered there and looked to the newcomer and did nothing else, Alice sat in her chair, not paying attention to Maximus as she watched the monitor that was projecting what the drone seen, she didn't know what was going on since the drone just got their so she just sat back and waited for until she found an opening to speak to them
.
back in the gravity room Maximus stood in 150 G's his mechanical muscles under stress from the gravity, another clone was being dropped in, a Cell clone, it hit the ground with a thud and the room shook, as it came to life it unfolded and stood up strait, it stood taller then Maximus with the horns atop it's head, it grinned at him with it's arms crossed. Maximus took a defensive stance as he readied to fight, the clone laughed as itself took a defensive stance, if Maximus had eye's he'd be glaring at the clone, knowing that it wouldn't make the first move.
.
Maximus powered up, his silver aura surrounded him as he let out a yell, he then charged at the clone with blinding speed, he quickly threw a kick towards the clones midsection as fast as he could, but the second his foot reached the clone it vanished, Maximus has a surprised look before he received a powerful kick to his back, a shockwave followed as he was sent into a wall, Maximus sense the clone closing on him, with little time to react he charged up to ki blasts in his hand which he used to propel him out of the clones way, making it slam into the wall, the clone shot Maximus a glare before it sped after him, Maximus quickly raised his arms to block what he guessed to be an attack, once again he was taken by surprised at the clone came from his side and kicked his waist, Maximus droned out a pained grunt and he seized this opportunity to grab the clones leg and spin it around in circles, until the clone was but a blur to the human eye, when he let go he fire a beam at the clone as it slammed into the wall, the beam hit with explosive force and shook the room violently, Maximus knew it wasn't over, he was still picking up the clones power level, Maximus let steam vent from himself quickly as he readied for round two

[Yog Sothoth]

R'yak was about to say hello to the Saiyan when wolf spoke to him in his usual aggressive and barbaric way. When R'yak heard the word vermin, clenched his fists in anger.

"I was curious monkey, I am here to protect earth against your kind, and any form of help I gladly welcome" he said to the dark Saiyan and looked away from Wolf, not wanting to play into any more of his pathetic attempts to start a fight by making R'yak angry. Even though Saiyans were related to their dark counterparts, R'yak held no grudge against them.

He instead, focused on the newcomer and his contact lenses scanned her power level. It was pretty big and that would be useful in the coming fight. "Let me guess you are here to fight the dark Saiyans as well right?"

[Spriggs27]

Stryder said
Wolf's white tail flicked back and forth as if to ponder something, was this saiyan worth attacking? She was the last of his race, he had to keep up the guise and make everyone continue to think he was a dark saiyan. "My name is Wolf, I didn't hail from planet Vegeta like the others. Who would you be?" He asked.Wolf turned to look at Yu when she started yelling at him, grumbling a bit in annoyance but smirking at her eagerness to fight. "There will be time for that later.." He said to the female.

" What !!!?? What do you mean by that, you can't just postpone a fight, I'm not some type of schedule keeper where I can just postpone a fight when your right in the middle of it, this isn't some type of restaurant where you can just return your order, and if it is, then when you ordered your can of whup ass, you gotta down the entire can." Yu said in a mad rant before charging towards Wolf at full speed and dodging the blast that Kaliflur shot towards her.

[IceHeart]

As Glacier had been fighting she found her natural strength rather rapidly returning to her. She did not know if this was due to the fact that she kept upping her training level or the fact that she was having the time after running for so long to seriously train. In any event what had been a most challenging bout had quickly turned into something more like child's play. Her body had so rapidly been adapting to the increased gravity that during the training session she had kept upping the gravity dial to make sure she did not have entire control over her ever move. The King Cold and Freiza duo had proved formidable at first but she was quickly regaining her old warrior skills and started to use the robots own momentum against them such as when Freiza tried to go in for back grab Glacier managed to flip over the fake into the path of King Cold's own blast. The blast knocked them both back but the fake took the brunt, and started to show some metallic parts.

"Forgive me, but I grow tired of this battle," Glacier spoke as she took advantage of Freiza's damage to grab it by the tail to swing the clone around and flung the mechanical being into the oncoming charge of King Cold. The King Cold clone easily smashed its way through but only to meet its demise at Glacier's charged up Punishing Blaster. The teal energy erupted from her palm to tear through the facade of King Cold, leaving only a few hunks of metal lying around. Hearing a sound behind her, Glacier quickly fired a laser thin Death Beam into Freiza's face as the machine tried one final attack and failed miserably. "That was disappointing yet it is good to see progress."

Glacier stepped around the wreckage and looked at the monitor which was currently set at 80gs, it had not been too long ago when 40 had felt like a lot but here she was, standing perfectly straight in 80gs with barely a sweat. While such high gravity fields would mean little in real combat they did force the body to adapt quickly and in her case remember how to be powerful. "This could be the fastest way to break the curse and while there is an interesting new power level outside I had best get every edge I can. It will not be too long before I regain the power to easily crush anyone currently here. Let's up the stakes again shall we?"

Glacier went over to the monitor and raised the gravity level yet again, this time to 120gs. At first the crushing weight seemed overwhelming but her body rapidly adjusted though once again she was depraved of her natural grace and movement. At this pressure she had to wonder if she could take on that duo again, but at the moment she had an objective and multiple target fighting would not be the best way to go about restoring her power. "Even in this rather oppressive environment a Cooler clone would not present much of a challenge anymore, guess I will have to up the ante and choose this Cell here," pressing some buttons the clone was prepared and soon appeared in the chamber. The somewhat bug-like android was certainly an interesting specimen but would he prove a worthy opponent?

"Begin!" Glacier shouted and charged at the android, intending to start with a quick Death Rush to get in some early damage, this was not to be. Before Glacier connected the Cell fake gave a wry smile and seemingly vanished, but Glacier's trained eyes managed to keep up with his speed; unfortunately the rest of her body in the heavy gravity was not so ready for the task at hand. The clone had dodge to the left and countered her with a hard kick to the side, Glacier tried to dodge but all she managed was to make the kick hit only part of her body instead of a full on strike, the power to the kick created a shockwave and she found herself spinning out of the control, making a graceful landing impossible as she crashed onto the ground and bounced into the wall.

"Not bad at all" Glacier tried to grin but it was more of a grimace, the clone left her little time to recover and had already rocketed itself toward her and gave a feint which Glacier almost fell for but her eyes could take in the most minute details of a fighter to tell if they were really attacking or not, and came in on the same side again. Glacier was ready this time and used her tail to propel herself over Cell and fired some powerful ki blasts, the teal ki smashed and exploded on the clone, making it careen out of control and do a face-plant on the ground. Glacier quickly created some distance and continued to fire her ki blasts at the clone. The clone took a fair share of hits but soon it was up and looked as if she had only scratched its paint job. "Not a bad opponent at all, looks like I'll really have to work for my victory this time." Glacier decided to prepare herself for another attack and got ready to counter. Cell studied her from afar, planning its next move.

[Silver Carrot]

Kaliflur was getting increasingly annoyed with the human, but that was Wolf's fight, and his alone to finish. She noticed his sadness, and how he tried to hide it, but it was still there. For all she had heard about the Dark Saiyans, this one seemed...good. There was some pure Saiyan in him, in mind if not in blood.

Her attention was turned back to R'yak. "Am I here to fight the Dark Saiyans? That depends on a lot of things. I came here to seek out the descendants of Kakarot and Vegeta, but if the planet that houses these valuable bloodlines is under attack, I will give my life to defend it. I do not fight to kill without good reason. Especially not to kill a Saiyan of any kind."

Maximus stood at the ready, just seconds later the cell clone erupted from the smoke, it seemed barely damaged, but angered, it charged at Maximus and he charged back, they both collided near the middle of the room, Maximus was putting his strength into speed to match the clones as they traded blows, creating shockwaves that shook the room violently, as Maximus went to throw a left punch the clone caught it, he then threw a right, but it was caught as well, the clone then pulled Maximus foreword and slammed his head against his own with a shockwave, Maximus's head reeled back from the impact, the clone then punched Maximus in the gut making him reel his head foreword from the impact, this was followed by a powerful knee to Maximus's face which caused sparks to fly and sent him flying upwards into the ceiling, but before he could hit it the clone appeared above him and put it's hands in a club, to which it brought down and hit Maximus in the gut again, sending him crashing into the ground which shook the room
.
Alice watched with concern almost on the edge of her seat at Maximus's monitor, she was watching the drone's view but her attention was stolen by the sounds of battle, when Maximus fell Alice got off her chair and slammed her hands onto her desk which was made of metal, she had left dent marks
"Come on Maximus! get up! give him a beating!" she exclaimed competitively as she grit her teeth, little amounts of electricity were jumping around her but she didn't notice for she was too focused on the fight
.
as the clone charged at Maximus it charged up a ki blast and fired it at him, Maximus used this to his advantage and rolled to the right, narrowly evading the attack, which made a cloud of smoke to act as cover for Maximus, the clone charged blindly into the smoke which was rewarded by powerful punch to it's face, the impact blew away the smoke and sent the clone flying into the ceiling the clone glared to Maximus with grit teeth, it's eye's then slowly looked over to the control panel and it grinned evilly, Maximus charged the clone and threw a kick towards it, but the second his kick looked like it was going to connect the clone vanished again and his foot hit the ceiling denting it badly, Maximus looked around for a second or two before spotting the clone standing at the control panel, glaring at Maximus with an evil grin as it began to mess with the settings, Maximus instantly realised what it was doing, he raced from the ceiling to the clone as fast as he could but the second he was about to punch it the gravity changed, and Maximus crashed into he ground, shaking the room, the floor was dented from the impact, Maximus couldn't move, the clone continued to mess with the settings while chuckling evilly
.
Alice seen this and protested with disbelief and anger
"what!? it's not suppose to do that!!!" she exclaimed as she started to punch in commands into her console but before she could activate them her monitor to the room Maximus was in was shut off, she had lost control of the room and everything inside it
"oh no....." she said with a look of dread
.
(activate music)
Maximus strained to move but it was pointless, the Cell clone was not only stronger, but smarter, smarter the what Alice programmed them to be, it glared down to Maximus as it finished messing with the settings, the gravity was amped up to 400 G's, it was making electricity dance around Maximus's body, he was in pain, the clone slowly walked up to
Maximus, then he grabbed Maximus by his neck with his left hand and lifted him off the ground, Maximus droned out a cry of pain and the mechanical muscles strained to stay intact from the gravity
"and I thought you were suppose to be a challenge" the clone mocked before he charged up a ball of energy in his right hand and held it up to Maximus's stomach, he fired the orb and it exploded on contact with Maximus's metal skin, he droned out a pained yelled, he was helpless in this gravity, the clone fired another blast, once again making Maximus let out a droned yell of pain, the clone laughed evilly as he repeated the attack over and over, Maximus's body was becoming damaged after each hit, he had to get out of this, as the clone went to charge up another attack, Maximus's aura blazed
.
"Maximum Over-Drive!!!!!!" Maximus's power level skyrocketed, he then broke free of the clones grasp with a backflip kick to the clones head which sent it flying into the wall behind it, even with this temporary power boost, it was still incredibly hard for Maximus to move, he was struggling to stand, he turned for the control panel and moved as fast as he could to try and turn down the gravity before the clone had a chance to recover, but as soon as he reached the panel the clone had gotten to it's feet and lunged at Maximus, it was going to throw a kick at his spine, but it was shocked to see that it phased trough Maximus, it stopped as turned to see Maximus fade from existence, the Cell clone then looked to it's left side and raised his hand, and caught a kick from Maximus, the room then shuddered when the impact from it registered, Cell then pulled Maximus down and sent a powerful elbow into Maximus's gut , if he had teeth they'd be gritting, Maximus thought quickly and put both his hands up to the clones head
"Flash-Bang!!!" two silver orbs formed in Maximus's hands and formed into one in front of the clones face, the clone's eye's widened knowing what this would do
.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" it yelled as it tried to move it's arms to guard it's eye's, but it was useless, the orb shined brightly before exploding and releasing a deafening sound and blighting light, the intensity of the light from of two orbs burned into the Cell clones eye's permanently blinding it while the sound destroyed the audio sensors, crippling the clone, it grabbed for it's eye's and stepped back
"AARRHHHH MY EYE'S!!!!" it exclaimed in anger, not even able to hear itself speak, Maximus got to his feet and charged the clone, he rammed it with his head, smashing it into the wall of the room, there stood Maximus, steam venting from his back from the strain of fighting in 400 G's as his aura blazed dangerously, he knew that the clone wouldn't give him a chance to change the settings, so he had to end it now, Maximus forced himself to charge at the clone again, it was about to get up from the wall but it was stopped with an elbow to it's neck, the clone grabbed at it's neck with a gasping look, Maximus then followed up with a powerful kick to it's gut, the shockwave from the kick echoed trough the facility, the clone fell to it's knees, unable to move, unable to see or hear from the damage done, Maximus's body was shuddering, he stood to the left of the clone and raised his right hand up high, his aura flowed to his hand and it seemed to form into a blade of energy, he then brought down the blade and cut the clones head clean off, the clone's body twitched as it died, when the anti-gravity device in it failed the clones body was crushed by the gravity
.
(activate music's)
Maximus then made his way to the controls, half way their his overdrive ran out, his aura faltered and dissipated, Maximus fell to his hands and knees as his strength went away, he let out droned grunts as he looked up to the panel, electricity jumped around his body as he forced himself to get one foot upright, still on one knee Maximus put both his hands on the floor as he slowly placed his other foot upright, he slowly stood up straight, his body was taking a beating from the gravity, sparks and electricity danced around him as he took a single step forward, Maximus let out a pained grunt before he took another, then two more, he reached the control panel but fell to one knee when he got their, he struggled to get his left hand to the controls, his hand lost it's strength and gave out, he grunted with what seemed to be a growl as he finally managed to reach the controls with his right hand and turned off the gravity entirely, just as he did he shut down from the strain of the gravity on his body, and his body gently and slowly floated into the air
.
Alice was running a systems check on the clones the cooler clones seemed fine, but the cell clones programming had developed an anomaly, intelligence, which made them almost as dangerous then the Janemba clones, Alice then looked to Glacier's monitor with a worried look, she turned on coms to the room to warn her
"Glacier! be carful! the Cell clones are!-" before Alice could finish the Cell clone in Glacier's room shot the monitor, destroying it, stopping Alice from warning Glacier about the danger, the Cell clone then glared at Glacier with a dark, evil grin and chuckled as it took an offensive stance, ready to strike
"dammit!" Alice exclaimed in anger, more electricity jumping around her, she looked back at Maximus's monitor, she typed in a few commands, and bypassed the clones hack, she activated the monitor and seen the destruction of the room, she then grabbed at her mouth when she seen Maximus's condition as he slowly floated into view
"Maximus!....." Alice said in a shocked voice, his condition was far worse then last time, she quickly left her room and ran towards Maximus's training room

[IceHeart]

"Glacier! Be careful! The Cell clones are!-" was all Glacier managed to hear from Alice before the Cell clone blasted the monitor. The Cell fake grinned like an evil madman and took an offensive stance, hands brought to the side, wrists touching each other as light began to form between the clone's hands.

"Something is most assuredly wrong here, that thing should not be damaging the room intentionally and Alice tried to warn me about the clone." Glacier narrowed her eyes, calculating what was going to happen next, she was momentarily taken aback when she felt, killing intent from the clone. "Impossible, a synthetic life form should not be capable of such a feat." By this point Cell was ready and fired a large Kamehameha Wave at Glacier. Glacier attempted to dodge but at that very moment something very unexpected happened, the gravity in the room increased immensely, causing her to stumble and trip, part of the blast managed to catch her off guard and smashed in the leg. There was certainly pain as the wave burned her leg quite badly and she collapsed to the ground under the intense pressure.

"What is going on here! Why did the gravity suddenly increase!" Glacier grunted and knew what was coming next, Cell no doubt was already prepared to elbow her fallen form into the ground like a pile driver. The gravity was so intense though even breathing seemed to be hard work it would have been impossible to dodge except that suddenly, the gravity was normal Earth gravity and the huge weight was lifted off her entire body, allowing her to easily recover and leap away from Cell's devastating attack. Glacier was about to counterattack when suddenly the gravity was completely oppressive again, making any sudden moves nearly impossible, she managed to fire a few Death Beams from her finger but Cell easily dodged those shots, her aim slowed by the intense gravity.

Cell jumped in close to start a barrage of punches and kicks, small shock waves resulting from each attack while Glacier had to bear with it and tank the punches. The lighting quick attacks were quickly wearing her down but once again, the gravity was normal and Glacier managed to dodge a short series of punches and kicks while sweeping the clone's feet from under him. Glacier managed to get one good strike with her foot, her own attack causing a shockwave as it struck the robot in the chest, sending it crashing into the wall but it quickly recovered from that. "I see, the fake's attack on the monitor has caused this room's gravity to be in a state of flux. While the clone is immune to the gravity's effects I have to constantly be ready for a sudden change." On cue the extremely heavy gravity was back and with a sharp pain in her burned leg she dropped to one knee.

The Cell clone had obviously figured out the same thing since as soon as Glacier started to struggle it unleashed a shower of ki blasts at Glacier while rapidly changing positions. Glacier gritted her teeth and started to knock the ki blasts away with her hands, but her movements were slow and a few managed to slip past her guard, exploding on impact and causing more damage to her body. Once the gravity shifted again Glacier made sure to go on the offensive, dashing forward with a quickly tail swipe, followed by a spinning kick and punch. Cell dodged the tail swipe jumped over the kick and blocked her jap with one hand. She continued a violent assault but the clone was managing to keep up with her easily enough. In the middle of a final kick, the gravity shifted up high again, causing her attack to falter, allowing Cell to block the strike and retaliate with his own kick to her stomach, causing her to double over and heave. A strong uppercut quickly followed, somehow managing to lift her off the ground and onto her back.

Glacier resisted the urge to be stunned and countered by firing a condensed ki blast at Cell, knocking him back a few feet, exposing his mechanical parts. "There has got to be a way to turn this around, but how?" Glacier thought to herself as she managed to get back up on her feet, the gravity retreating to normal levels. "Cell is unaffected by the gravity levels, but I am...that's it!" With a plan in mind Glacier motioned the robot to come and get her with her hand and made sure her back was to a wall. The fake was confident in its power and took the bait, rocketing forward with the intent to kill and fists ready to strike. Glacier waited a very brief moment before taking off for the ceiling, her feet planted firmly and toes gripped the top so she would not fall. "Come and get me junk pile!" Glacier lowered her knees and got ready to spring.

Cell wasted no time in jumping up after her and this is when the gravity flux happened again, bring back the oppressive extreme gravity forces. With a slight smirk that quickly vanished, Glacier jumped off the ceiling straight at the Cell clone, arms locked in an X in front of her. Too late to dodge Cell struck up at Glacier, matching her attack with his own but this is when the increased weight from the gravity made Glacier the easy winner. Combined with the force of the chamber's extreme gravity levels Glacier's powerhouse move decimated Cell's own and her entire body smashed into the robot, bringing it to the floor with a huge crash, the floor cracked and exploded under the intense pressure of the gravity fueled body slam. There was a resounding crack as Cell's body was crushed under the force of the blow. While the clone took the majority of the blow Glacier felt the effects quite profusely as well, the attack itself, combined with smashing into the ground on top of Cell really did a number on her own body which had yet to get used to the extreme stress of the seemingly exponentially high gravity level.

"To think...that destroying the gravity controls would be the key to my victory-umph," Glacier was interrupted as the battered Cell clone under her managed to fire off a powerful ki blast into her face, making her bring her hands up to her face and stumbled back off of her enemy. "I'll have to put a more permanent end to you!" Tearing her hands away from her eyes Glacier fired her Darkness Eye Beams straight into the clone's own eyes. The clone's head turned red and then exploded with a furry. Not content with merely a head, Glacier continued her assault on every other part of the clone's body until it was nothing but a smoldering heap. Sure that her foe was vanquished this time Glacier collapsed on the ground, feeling the weight of battle all across her body along with several bruises and burns. She was down for the count, at least for the moment, she tried to regain enough strength by lying on the ground to get out but the fluxuating gravity made it so that she could only move when the gravity was at its weakest, so she had to be content with crawling whenever it was 1 Gs and not however many hundreds it kept changing to. It was slow going and each time the gravity struck she felt like she was in a wine press, having the blood squeezed out of her. Heavens it was going to take a while though.

Silver Carrot said
Kaliflur was getting increasingly annoyed with the human, but that was Wolf's fight, and his alone to finish. She noticed his sadness, and how he tried to hide it, but it was still there. For all she had heard about the Dark Saiyans, this one seemed...good. There was some pure Saiyan in him, in mind if not in blood.Her attention was turned back to R'yak. "Am I here to fight the Dark Saiyans? That depends on a lot of things. I came here to seek out the descendants of Kakarot and Vegeta, but if the planet that houses these valuable bloodlines is under attack, I will give my life to defend it. I do not fight to kill without good reason. Especially not to kill a Saiyan of any kind."

Wol sighed quietly as Yu charged at him, his eyes closed in frustration, he stood there while she attacked. He gotten so strong that her hits didn't hurt him at all, he just stood there before opening his eyes, his increasingly annoyed look obvious. "You think there is never a reason to kill? Perhaps you aren't a true saiyan, just when I had my hopes up..." He smirked, yet he spoke so seriously, his words were like daggers threatening to cut into the female. Wolf chuckled a bit in reaction to the ki blast Kaliflur fired at Yu, it was a spectacle to see how honorable she was, perhaps she was a saiyan truly.

[Yog Sothoth]

Orin continued his training and didn't bother to go out and see who the new arrival was since there were already enough people doing that. but he did stop when he heard the alarms and felt effects the increased gravity of the other rooms shake the one he was in. he quickly left the room and went to Alice's monitor room where Alice was, he saw that she was no longer in the room and he looked at the monitor and saw Alice helping a damaged Maximus in a training room. He then wondered if Glacier was in similar shape as Maximus and ran inside to training room. He found her lying on the ground unconscious on the floor. He hurried over to her and was worried that she was very badly injured. He needed to get her out of the training room, and he started to pull her in the direction of the infirmary.

he knew that some of them were extremely determined to become stronger but killing themselves in the process would not help them achieve their goals.

[Dingo]

The Dark Saiyan pod shot screaming through the atmosphere, a streak of flame cutting through the sky. There were no illusions of 'peacefulness' in these skies, their borders had been breached by too many alien craft already. This pod, however, struck the planet with a force and violence yet unseen by any of the other craft. From within its' crater, the pod lay smoldering, wires exposed and jagged pieces of metal protruding from it's mechanical carcass. From within the craft, flashing red lights could be seen, the words "Auto-Landing Protocols Manually Disengaged" were starting to flicker as the pod lost power.
Exploding outward, the door to the pod flew through the air, sailing off into the distance as it's sole occupant exited the tiny vessel that had been her home for the past year. Her hair reflected a vibrant red, almost the same crimson as her eyes, her Saiyan armor flickering red and gold in the light of the flames that started to engulf her pod. Her face was a mess, liquid and chunks of meat covering her body, the force of the landing completely destroying the Inertia Neutralizers and sending what seemed to be a stew of sorts spilling all over the interior of the pod.

"Hmph. Breakfast's cancelled, then." the Dark Saiyan remarked, reaching up to pick a piece of meat from her hair and popping it in her mouth. Rising into the air, the Dark Saiyan floated above the pod, coming to a rest several yards from the mouth of the crater as her craft continued to burn. Scanning the horizon of the planet, the Dark Saiyan female turned her attention towards the power levels occupying the planet. She had no scouter, rather she relied on her ability to sense Ki, as taught to her by her late teachers. Chewing the meat in her mouth, thoughtfully, the Dark Saiyan turned her attention to several high power levels in the distance, all quite close to each other, each power level representing Yu, Wolf, Kaliflur and R'yak, respectively.

"Perhaps they have something I can eat." the Dark Saiyan mused to herself as she rose into the air once more into the air before lazily positioning herself vertically in the sky and rocketing in the direction of the power levels. At her currents speed, she would reach the group within minutes.

Behind her, back in the crater, another message was flickering, transmitting on Dark Saiyan frequencies.

//DOBOKAA HAS MADE PLANETFALL\\

The message flickered out of existence as the last of the pod's power drained away and the vessel was entirely consumed in flames.

[NacNak]

As Amber flew towards Zekin he dodged her attacks while firing back, his attacks didn't seem to be affecting her shield enough to weaken it, Zekin flew backwards away from Amber as he fired ki blasts at her to no avail, Amber grinned madly as she vanished, she then appeared behind Zekin and put her hand into a club, momentarily dropping her shield to strike the champ, a loud shockwave exploded from the hit connecting to the back of Zekins head, he let out a cry of surprise and pain as he was sent toward the arena, he managed to right himself before he hit he ground and stopped himself, he looked up to see Amber charging an attack, the shield had reformed, it was still flowing with power Amber then absorbed the shield around her making it's power her own, Amber's power level skyrocketed and her muscles bulked up again, she put her hands together in front of her and pulled them to her right side, she chuckled with a grin
"Zekin, you may have charged my heart towards the weak, but don't think I'm going to hold back because they surround us, I'll reduce this arena to ashes, dodge this next attack if you can, but know in doing so, everyone in this arena will most likely loose their lives" Amber said with a dark grin, she knew the champ couldn't help but defend the innocent, so he had no choice but to take her attack head on, even if he didn't, Amber wouldn't have her attack hit the arena, she said she wouldn't kill the humans, so she would have her attack fly skyward to avoid harming the innocent if it missed
"here it comes! I hope your ready!" Amber exclaimed as a red glowing orb formed in her hands
.
Zekin grit his teeth when he seen this, he had no choice, he had to attack, Zekin put his right hand to his side and held his right arm with his left hand as he charged up his own attack, his dark green aura flowed from him as he charged up with a power yell, green electricity then engulfed his right hand as he readied his attack
.
Amber grinned and laughed out loud, she then began to power yell as she continued to charge her own attack, the rad blazing orb in her hands had reached it's max size, about as big as a beach ball, Amber thrust her arms foreword, aimed at Zekin and her aura blazed
"ERUPTION!!!" Amber exclaimed, the second she did a massive flaming beam of red energy, it raced toward Zekin, as it did the trees around the arena became engulfed in flames from the heat of Ambers attack
.
Zekin grit his teeth as he thrust his right hand foreword, with his left hand holding his right arm
"Bang-Beam!!!" Zekin yelled as a large green beam of energy fired from his hand, it sped towards Ambers attack, when they collided, it was a bit one sided, the ground trembled from the attacks, and Zekins beam was being pushed back, he was drained from this prolonged fight, his attack wouldn't last long
"no, I need to push... HARDER!!!!" he yelled as he put more power into his attack, but to no avail, Amber attack was closing fast as he lost strength, Amber grinned at this, she let out a yell as she increased the power of her attack, Zekin's beam was pushed back until it was right in front of him, Amber chuckled darkly as she eased up, her attack had beaten Zkin's and he was blasted by her intense flaming energy, scorching the arena floor, then Zekin stood, his arms limp as he swayed back and forth slightly, on the verge of fainting, Amber appeared in front of Zekin with a grin, she walked past him and grabbed his tail as she walked by, Zekin then lost all his strength and collapsed, Amber dragged Zekin by his tail to the edge of the ring
.
"you had a good run Zekin, and maybe you can again next year, but right now, it's my time to shine" Amber said with a smile she tossed the champ onto the ground below, Amber then slowly turned around with her eye's closed and a smile, she crossed her arms and headed towards the other side of the ring
.
the crowd stared, awestruck, their Campion, how had won this tournament for seven years in a row, had just been defeated, they were speechless, the announcer who seemed to be in a state of shock suddenly came to his senses, he shook his head as he ran up to Amber in the ring
.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ZEKIN HAD BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE RING" he said as he grabbed Ambers right arm
.
"hey hands off" she said to him, but before she could further complain he raised Amber's right hand into the air for everyone to see
"what are you doing?" Amber asked him to which she got not immediate answer
.
"I GIVE YOU, OUR NEW CHAMPION! THE PHOENIX!!!" he yelled with a big smile into his microphone, the crowd then began to cheer loudly, giving their applause, clapping, whistling, this was new to Amber she didn't know how to react, a smile slowly grew on her, she then raise her other hand, the crowd's cheers grew louder, Amber couldn't help but be excited as she waved at the crowd, only seconds later she was given the would tournament champion belt, Amber looked at her reflection in the shiny gold of the belt before she walked over to where she tossed Zekin out of the ring, he was getting to his feet, he looked up to Amber with a slight smile, Amber then reached out and took Zekins hand and pulled him into the ring to his surprise
.
"you put up a good fight, you at least deserve some of the spot light" Amber said with a smile as she and Zekin waved to the crowd which brought more cheers
.
"it would seem they don't see you like the monster they thought you to be" Zekin said to Amber with a smile
.
"I guess your right..." Amber said as she smiled
.
after a few thousand autographs and photos the festivities had passed and were over, everyone had gone home with the memory's of the fight fresh in their minds, in the end Amber happened to have given Zekin the prize money, he reward to him for giving her a challenge, he accepted it with a smile and the both made their way to leave Amber and Zekin were the last two at the tournament arena entrance saying their goodbyes, Amber looed to Zekin with a smile
"so, I guess I'll see you next year" Amber said with a smile
.
"yeah, who knows, we might run into each other sometime between then" Zekin replied with a grin
.
"right, I'll be heading off then" Amber said as she slowly began to float into the sky
"see you later" Amber said as she turned around and blasted off towards the place she called home, with that Zekin also took to the sky and flew towards his home in the city with a smile

Time Skip: One Month Later

It has been a month since the group of fighters met each other and agreed to help each other fight when the dark saiyans arrive. Through the time of a month some of the fighters have decided to go off and train on their own, like the Saiyan Wolf. Maximus remained at the lab with Alice where he continued to train with the robot clones in higher levels of gravity.

Amber was still on her own, she had never found the group of fighters and was training on her own for the tournament next year, unaware of the danger that drew near

.

In another solar system near the one our hero's reside in, all the planets in the system were gone, all but one to which it's surface was riddled with signs on battle, smoke plumed into the sky as fires raged on while cities burned, over a barren waste land littered with bodies, four figures were fighting, three vs one. One of the three fighters charged the one they were against, she let out a battle cry full of rage for the poor souls that died at the hands of the being they were fighting, she reeled back her left hand and threw it at the evil being, only to hand it caught by her opponent, her eye's widened in fear as the beings chest seemed to open up, as it opened a red hazy aura came from the evil being before red energy glowed brightly from it's chest, the girl tried to pull away and her allies rushed to her aid, but were to late. By the time they got close to her the evil being fired a powerful red beam of energy from it's chest that pierced right through the girl with an eerie sound, leaving a gaping hole where her chest used to be, the girl had a look of extreme pain on her face with one eye partially closed as she struggled to bring her right hand up to the hole in her chest, she then looked at her hand that was covered with her orange blood. She was already dead, her body just didn't realise it yet, she looked over to her allies with tears going down her face as a pure terrified look grew on her, the evil being let out a robotic laugh as it dropped her, letting her fall towards the ground, her allies rush to her and caught her and flew her to the ground, and lied her down, she was trembling with a panicked expression

"Avalon, be still, y-your going to be fine...." the one holding her said with an angry and sad look, Avalon looked to him with a slight smile, but the fear on her was still present on her

"l-liar.... " she said with a trembling voice, as she looked up to the evil robotic being hovering high in the air above them, it's arms crossed as it watched them with what could only be guessed as a smile
"I-Im finished... and you know it..." she said with a trembling voice before she coughed up orange blood
"everything is going cold.... " she said as more tears flowed down her cheeks
"p-please... don't leave me.... d-don't leave......" she managed before her body gave in, her eye's seemed to fade as her body went limp, the one holding her grit his teeth as a blue aura slowly began to flow from him, he then closed his eye's and looked down as he brought Avalon closer to him, he began sobbing as his aura began to grow more powerful, he then looked up and yelled in anger and sadness as he cried his fallen allies name.

"AVALOOOOON!!!!!!" his voice echoed over the barren wasteland and lightning struck in the distance. his aura then fluxed with immense energy as he gently rested Avalon on the ground, closing her eye's before he stood up and looked to his other companion
"we're going to kill it Joveke, for everything it's done to us..." he said to his companion

"damn right we are Kromax!" Joveke said with an angered look, the robotic being hovered with it's arms crossed, it's eye's glowing red as it waited. An orange aura came from Joveke as he powered up, and Kromax's blue aura grew stronger, then they both charged the robotic being, it uncrossed it arms as they closed in, they both let out a yell as Joveke charged up an orange orb in his left hand while Kromax charged up a blue orb in his right, they put they're orbs together and they fused them before they thrust their arms forward simultaneously as they fired a spiraling beam of orange and blue towards the robotic being. The beam connected with the being and a massive explosion erupted from it, both Joveke and Kromax flew away a few meters in a fighting stance
"did it work?..." Joveke asked with a serous look

"I don't know..." Kromax replied with his teeth grit, the smoke from the blast slowly cleared away, only to reveal that their combo beam attack did nothing
"no...." Kromax said to himself with despair

"no way, that's, not possible!..." Joveke said in disbelief
"that was our strongest attack!, and it's not even scratched!" he exclaimed before gritting his teeth, the robotic being let out a dark eerie robotic laugh as it's chest opened up, it's red aura flowed from it as energy charged in it's chest, the beings chest closed and it's aura grew stronger. The being then vanished from sight
"w-what?! where'd it go?!" Joveke exclaimed in fear as he looked around

"I don't know, keep your eye's open!" Kromax said as he looked around with a worried look, just then the being had appeared behind them, it grabbed both Joveke's head and Kromaz's head and slammed them together faster then they could react, a shockwave had been made from the impact, the two fighters shut their eye's in pain as they went to grab at their heads, as they did so the robotic being threw powerful punches and kicks at them, aiming for their least defended parts of their bodies, leaving them no room to recover. After the onslaught on punches and kick, the being kicked Kromax into the ground before it impaled Joveke with it's laser blades on it's right arm, Joveke let out a pained yell as he grabbed at the machines arm, his teeth were grit as his left eye was shut, the being then grabbed Jovekes right shoulder before it partially pulled the blades from his body, then it forced the blades into Jovekes body again with a powerful punch, making Joveke cough out orange blood, the machine repeated this over and over, causing Joveke more pain with every blow, and with each hit he lost blood and strength. Kromax had gotten to his feet and jumped out of the crater he made when he hit the ground, he looked into the air to see his friend dying
"Joveke, No!" he said as his aura surrounded him before he flew into the air to try and save his friend, the machine let out a robotic chuckle with each hit, not paying attention to the other being closing on it, Joveke, now barely conscious was barely holding onto the machines arm that was impaling him, blood flowed from his mouth and his injury, the machine then began to charge up a red orb in its right hand, but before it could fire its attack, the machine received a powerful punch to it's face which sent it flying towards the ground and freeing Joveke from its grasp, Kromax caught his friend and look to the crater the machine made when it crashed
"I don't have much time..." Kromax said as he turned to face away from the machine, he then powered up as he blasted away from the area towards the nearest city

"K-Kromax... leave me.... I'm as good as dead..." Joveke managed to say weakly as he barely opened his right eye

"no... I'm getting us out of here... there's no point to fight for what is lost... this world can't be saved..." Kromax said with an angered look as they closed on one of the destroyed city's, it was in ruin, buildings burning, and other ones reduced to rubble, Kromax flew past the city and flew onto the hanger of the space port just on the outskirts of the city, it was in bad shape, but luckily there just happen to be one ship left with enough room for both of them
"looks like luck is at our side..." Kromax said with relief as he flew up to the ship, he landed near the door and it opened up, he quickly went inside and placed his friend in one of the seats at the front of the ship, Kromax went up to the controls and typed in commands, he was about to sit down to fly the ship, but before he could the sound of something being smashed could be heard, it was that damned machine Kromax knew it was
"damn it all, there's now way we'll get off planet with it here, we'll get shot down...." Kromax said with despair as he looked to the moniters, only to see the machine stepping into the hanger through the hole it made, it then began to slowly approach the ship. Joveke weakly looked to Kromax

"w-... what are we going to do...." he asked weakly, Kromax looked back to his friend

".... I'll tell you what we're going to do... your going to get out of here, your going to live... I'm going to stay behind, and make sure you make it.." Kromax said in a serous tone as he turned on the auto pilot, Joveke widened his eye with a shocked look

"that wasn't the plan!...." Joveke exclaimed weakly

"plans change, now get some rest, the auto-pilot will do the rest..." Kromax said to Joveke, he then acted quickly and activated the auto pilot and got out of the ship, closing the door behind him, he glared at the machine and it glared back at him, the ship powered up and fire came from it's engines, the machine looked at it and tilted it's head slightly, it then raised its left hand at it and charged up and orb before it fired it at the ship, before it reached the ship Kromax knocked the orb away and it hit the hanger flow beside the machine, the machine glared at Kromax
"I'm the one you will face! you damned machine" he exclaimed in anger as he powered up, the ships landing gear went up as it hovered into the air, the ceiling opened up and the ship pointed it's nose upward, the engines roared as flames erupted from them as the ship rocketed upward into the sky. The machine let out an angered roar as it flew after it
"Oh no you Don't!" Kromax exclaimed as he flew after the machine, as he flew in pursuit he seen the machine charge up two orbs, so he charged his own, the machine threw the orbs at the ship, and Kromax threw his as well, just before the machines attack reached the ship Kromax's attack intercepted the orbs causing them to exploded, the machine droned out a growl as it turned to face Kromax
"did you hear me you hunk of junk! I am you opponent!" he exclaimed as he fired a barrage of ki blasts at the machine to which it effortlessly knocked them away. As Kromax combated the machine the ship had breached atmosphere and made it to space, the auto pilot randomly selected one of the multiple locations logged into the data banks and activated its jump drive, and left the system. Kromax had finished his ki blast barrage and looked up to the sky, he seen a faint sparkle of light and smile
"live on... my friend..." he said before he looked to the cloud of smoke he created when he was firing at the machine as it cleared away there it hovered with it's arms raised in defense, it then lowered it's arms and glared at Kromax
"come on do your worst, I have nothing to lose anymore..." Kromax said with a smug grin, the machine slowly grew an eerie look that could only be guessed as grinning, the machine raised it right arm to the sky as it hovered in place, it then began to laugh evilly as a red orb formed in it's hand, the orb made an ominous sound as it began to grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger until it was the size of a mountain, Kromax's eye's widened with slight fear as he seen what his fate was to be
"what are you waiting for... do it..." he said hatefully as he gave in, glaring daggers at the machine. The machine narrowed it's eye's as it chuckled, it then slowly aimed it's arm down at the planet, the massive ball of energy slowly began to move towards the planet and made an ominous sound as it closed on it's target, Kromax was directly in the massive orbs path, he closed his eye's and let himself become engulfed in the orb, instantly being vaporized. The machine then looked to the sky and flew up, it left atmosphere and looked in the direction the ship that escaped went, it then began to fly in that direction. The massive orb had hit the planet, as it ripped through the planets crust the surface of the planet began to crack, exposing the magma below, when the orb was halfway into the planet, it exploded, and took the planet with it, reducing it to nothing more then large chunks of debris that eventually began to orbit the star in the system

Back on Earth

Maximus

Inside of Dr.Briefs lab Maximus was training alone, and training hard, over the course of a month he had finally gotten strong enough to train in gravity up to 500 G's. He was fighting a Cooler clone in a one on one battle, ever since the Cell clone accident there have been some renovations with the clones. The Cooler clones were upgraded making them stronger, thus more of a challenge in high gravity, and the Cell clones were dumbed down, so they wouldn't try to kill the people they were going up against, but they were still way stronger then the Cooler clones.

Inside the observation room of the lab the monitors were all on for every training room, Alice walked into the room with a cup of coffee, a faint trail of steam came from the cup, it was early in the morning. Alice yawned as she sat down in the hover chair and looked to Maximus's monitor, she took a sip of her coffee as she watched as Maximus combatted a Cooler clone.
"being a machine has it's perks" she said to herself with a smile
"no need for sleep or food, he doesn't get exhausted and he doesn't complain" she said with a little grin
"he's been at it all night.... he should take a maintenance break..." she said to herself before she took another sip of her coffee as she watched Maximus fight.

In the training room Maximus was going back and fourth with the Cooler clone, trading blow for blow with kicks and punches, each impact shaking the room violently, their attacks were faster then a human eye could follow as the two charge each other Maximus readied himself, the Cooler clone threw a right punch aimed for Maximus's head, but it was caught in Maximus's left hand, the Cooler clone then threw a left punch towards Maximus's stomach, but it was caught by Maximus's right hand. With both their hands crossing over each other they started to throw kicks at each other, shockwaves erupting from each impact, the Cooler clone grunted as it tried to land a clean hit, but it's efforts were in vain. Maximus's silver aura then surrounded him as he pulled on the Cooler clones arms, bringing the clone towards him, and slamming his head into the clone's head while he let go of it's hands sending it to the ground.

Alice grinned a little more as she watched
"that's my machine" she said as she finished her coffee, placing the empty cup in a cup holder on her hover chair.

The Cooler clone sat up the crater in made from the impact, it glared up to Maximus as hydraulic fluid began to flow down the clones face, it placed a hand on it's head where the fluid was coming from then looked at it's hand, it grit it's teeth and glared daggers at Maximus. Electricity jumped around the clones body as it powered up, Maximus braced himself as he flew back, the Cooler clone the rushed Maximus, the speed at which it launched itself at Maximus had more of less fixed the crater in the floor, leaving a slightly flat surface. Maximus felt a barrage of punches hitting his arms as he blocked, he was getting pushed back which was dangerous, it he got backed into a wall it could be trouble for him.

"come on Maximus, don't let it box you in..." Alice said as she sat on the edge of her seat, watching in suspense, her hands clutched into fists.

The Cooler clone began to grin as it noticed Maximus getting closer to the wall, but as it took it's attention off Maximus for a split second, it noticed that it's next right punch had missed, it's eye's slowly widened as time seemed to slow down, it looked only to see that Maximus had gotten to it's right side, the clone grit it's teeth as it tried to pull it's arm back to move, but it was too late. Maximus grabbed the clones arm with both his hands, then brought up his right knee with incredible force, shattering the clones elbow, rendering it's right arm useless, it cried out in pain as it jumped back away from Maximus to see the damage done
"You've maimed me!" it exclaimed in anger before it glared at Maximus.

Maximus didn't give the clone any sort of response as he got back into an offensive stance, the clone grit it's teeth as charged, Maximus charged at the clone as well, when the two closed in on each other Maximus vanished from sight, the clone stopped and looked around with angered eye's, just then hydraulic fluid briefly erupted from the clones left shoulder, then it's left arm fell to the floor. The clones mouth was opened wide in disbelief
"but how?!, it was as if he vanished!, I didn't even see him!" the clone exclaimed in shock as it looked at where it's left arm used to be. Another brief splatter of hydraulic fluid was heard, the clone slowly looked in front of itself, there stood Maximus, facing away from the clone
"there's.... no way...." it said in disbelief before it's head slid off it neck and hit the floor, seconds later the clones anti-gravity generator shut down and it's body was crushed by the gravity. Maximus walked up the gravity controls and set the gravity back to normal earth gravity levels, when that was done, steam vented from Maximus's back as his body cooled down, he then looked to the monitor on the wall

"500 G training session complete" he said to it, Alice smiled as she spoke into the coms that was connected to Maximus's room

"great work Maximus, proceed to my laboratory for a maintenance check" she said to him with a smile

"Dr.Briefs, my scans indicate that my all my systems are operating at full capacity, I do not think maintenance is necessary" he protested to her which made Alice frown slightly

"Maximus, maintenance checks are mandatory, no if, ands, or buts, you know this, come on, I'll be waiting for you in the lab" Alice said in a slightly stern tone as she turned off the coms, she then made her way to her laboratory to meet Maximus.

In the training room Maximus watched as the monitor turned off, he looked away from it slightly for a few seconds before he walked to the door of the training room, he left the training room, closing the door behind him before he made his way to Alice's laboratory. When he arrived he seen Alice preparing a maintenance bed, she looked to him with a serous look as he walked in.
"reporting for maintenance check" he droned as he approached the bed.

"you know what to do" Alice said as she lightened her tone while she typed on the panel on the bed, Maximus sat on the bed, then lied down on it. Robotic arms came from under the table and began scanning over Maximus, the readings came up on Alice's data-pad
"...... your progressing well Maximus" she said with a faint smile as she walked around the bed, watching the readings as they appeared on the data pad
"but I'd advise you to stop taking unnecessary risks, you were suppose to be training in 500 G's, not 550 G's.... " she said as she read the G stress levels on Maximus's mechanical muscles. Maximus didn't say anything and looked away slightly
"Maximus, this is serous, you cant put you life in unnecessary danger just because you feel that you can take it!" Alice exclaimed with a stern look, then Maximus looked to Alice with a serous look

"I can "Take It", I have to, the Dark Saiyans will not hold back, so nether can I in my training" Maximus stated boldly in a droned tone
"That aside, I did successfully complete the training session" he stated to her as he looked back up to the ceiling.

"............" Alice stared at Maximus with a slight glare and a hidden pout
"your maintenance check is complete.... your free to go..." Alice said as she deactivated the maintenance bed making the robotic arms go back under the bed, she then left the laboratory. Maximus sat up and watched as she left, he tilted his head slightly before he got off the table and left the room to head back to the training room.

Amber

In the middle of a desert somewhere on Earth, Amber stood facing a massive rock that was close to half the size of a skyscraper, she stared at it for a few moments before she grabbed hold of it, she grit her teeth and let out a yell as she hefted the rock off the ground. She let out another before she sent the massive rock flying skyward, she glared at the rock as it disappeared into the clouds before she readied herself. As the seconds passed by, the massive rock came barrelling out from the clouds towards her, Amber then jumped and flew towards the rock, she brought back her right hand and curled it into a fist as she quickly closed on the rock. Just as she reached it she threw her punch dead center at the tip of the massive rock, it instantly crumbled and shattered into hundreds on fragments of rubble, sending debris miles out in every direction, Amber triumphantly flew through the dust cloud made by the rock breaking and watched as the rubble fell to the ground, she then grinned as she flew back to the ground
"heh, at the rate I'm training, there's no way the last year champ is going to stand a chance against me" she said to her self as she looked to another giant rock, she walked up to it and picked it up with relative ease
"well, I got nothing better to do" she said as she began lifting the rock with one hand, then swapping it to the next, she kept on doing so for a few minutes before she tossed it into the air and smashed it like the last one. she then let out a sigh out of boredom
"this is going to be some boring training...." she said as she went to go find another rock to use as weights

[Spriggs27]

After a night of intense training, Cole fell asleep in the middle of the dessert badlands, he was lying on the ground with a backpack filled with his stuff next to him, he let out loud snores, when Amber threw one of the boulders into the sky and destroyed it sending smaller rocks around the area, one of them landed on Cole's stomach and woke him up, it instantly angered him he got up and cracked his knuckles, he looked around for the cause of his rude awakening.

His gaze turned to Amber who was using the boulders as weights to test her strength, he could tell she was fire elemental just from first glance, he left his backpack where it was and suited up in his combat armor, he dashed over to the fire elemental and was face to face with her, he aimed one hand to the boulder and instantly destroyed it with a mini rocket making it rain rocks around them both. " I don't know who you are or why you awoken me by throwing a rock at me, but fuck your shit bitch fire elemental." Cole said trying to sound tough while he was still kinda tired.

[NacNak]

Amber had watched as someone dashed over to her, she raised an eyebrow when he stood less then a few feet away, she was going to say something but before she could this stranger rudely blasted the rock she was holding above her head into rubble, she then turned her somewhat confused look into a glare. Amber crossed her arms defensively as she listened to what this guy had to say, she slowly grew a slight grin
"naaw, I'm sorry to have awoken you from your little nap, but please understand that I didn't do it purposely, you just happen to get caught in the crossfire of my training" she said innocently before she turned away from the stranger
"don't worry, I'll find somewhere else to train while you go back to bed and rest your little head" she said with a slight dark chuckle before she began walking away from the stranger

[Silver Carrot]

Violet's training simulator today was oddly not a foe, or sparring opponent. It was her old drill sergeant at the Red Ribbon headquarters. Her 'sparring opponent' was a lifelike dummy. Increasing strength and speed were important, but in her mind, so were skill and form. While most of of her peers chose rounded numbers when they trained with gravity machines, Violet calculated the perfect balance between pushing herself and minimalising risk of damage. Right now, she was training at 423 Times Earth's gravity.

Her drill instructor blew a whistle and she leapt into action. She wasn't just hitting the dummy. Every move she made was designed to kill in one blow. An upwards thrust to the nose, a chop to the neck, a jab at the throat, repeated open-hand blows to the chest. She then switched her style to moves made to debilitate, then moves to disarm. Every move had purpose and reason, and sickening efficiency.

The instructor blew his whistle again. "Good job, Private. Hit the showers. We're done here." The simulation ended, and Violet exited the training room, passing Maximus on the way to her maintenance check.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Briefs," she said, in a tone that would pass as cheery in Violet's emotional range, but apathetic in the emotional range of a human.

---

Kaliflur was not training. She had been flying around the Earth, fighting the toughest fighters she could find. Very few even took effort, let alone were a challenge. She was beginning to grow bored. She should return to the home of the Descendant. She would be fighting the same robots over and over, but at least it was actually a challenge. She wished she could find the Dark Saiyan, but he insisted on training alone, and she didn't have her scouter so she couldn't find him by that method. It was a large planet. There were plenty larger in size, but this one made use of the space it had to such an extent that it felt a lot bigger than it was. She turned round and flew back towards the general direction of Alice's lab.

[Spriggs27]

( Wow, Cole just bitched out a fire elemental, I never though Amber would actually walk away from a potential fight )

Cole was surprised by the fire elemental's actions at that moment, he was sure she was gonna try to fight him for what he just said to her, he was ready to fight against her but wasn't going to do it randomly," Hey wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm sorry about what I said to you, it's not like me, I was angry and I'd like to try and make up for bitching at you. So do you like kicking ass because I think I've seen giant ship with bad guys on it ready to get their asses kicked by someone." Cole told her confidently, he was really up for anything and really wanted to make up for getting angry at her.

[NacNak]

(oh, he didn't, and no she doesn't >=3 )

Amber stopped her stride and turned her head slightly towards the stranger with a grin
"oh, so you really do want to fight something after all, I thought that was just you talking in your sleep" Amber said as she turned to face him, her arms crossed with a grin on her lips, in the air over the stranger hovered multiple flaming orbs of energy the size of beach balls waiting to be used on the stranger
"I don't know who you are or why you interrupted my training by destroying my weights, but f*ck your sh*t homosapien" Amber mocked using his previous statement against him with a smug grin
.
Alice looked to Violet and gave a soft smile
"afternoon Violet, finished your training session already?" she said as she got up from her desk before walking over to the maintenance bed that Maximus used
"that's got to be a new personal best" she said with a smile as she activated the table, making the monitors come to life
.
Maximus walked back into the gravity room and it had been fully repaired, the last of the repair drones had just left the room as he got in, he looked around before he closed the door behind himself. As he went up to the control panel he set the gravity up to 550 G's, the gravity generator hummed to life as the gravity increased, Maximus quickly adjusted to the G's as he then proceeded to do a warm up

[Silver Carrot]

(300th post!)

Violet lay down on the bed. "Yes, I was practicing form with a simulation of my old teacher. When I return, I shall spar with an opponent. It is an unusual experience to grow stronger as you fight, being an android. It is also incentive to train as efficiently as possible."

The door opened, And Kaliflur entered the lab, stretching. She turns to Alice. "Your planet bores me. It is an insult to the Saiyan race that you, the descendant of Prince Vegeta, reside in this little mudball full of jingoistic, greedy, tail-less weaklings." She strides over straight to where Alice's kitchen was. "You need more food. Last time I was here I ate everything in the cold box and it still wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger. Barely any meat at all."
