[IC] Dragon Ball Z: Dark Ascension

[NacNak]

before Amber and Wolfs attack Connected R'yak managed to get a few hits in, but they did little but make sounds as they connected with Devastators head and torso, Devastator was going to grab at R'yak but was then hit by the beam, to which he continued forward to Wolf and Amber, as the beam enveloped them, R'yak threw an attack to Devastators back which got his attention, though the strike did little but annoy the machine, as the beam continued to fire on them, Devastator grabbed behind himself and locked his iron grip onto R'yaks neck, then he held R'yak in front of him, making the small being take the full force of the beam attack
.
as Amber seen this she grit her teeth and stopped her attack on the machine, she then looked to Wolf
"Wolf stop, it's using R'yak as a shield!" she exclaimed as Devastator stopped walking towards them, it droned out a dark chuckle as it slowly tightened its grip on R'yaks neck adding insult to injury
.
high in the sky above a tiny glint of light shined as it approached the battlefield, Maximus slowed his speed as his scanners zoomed in on the situation

[Stryder]

Wolf continued to shout madly, his attack seeming to do damage, once he was told to stop attack by Amber he truly saw what was happening. The machine was using his vermin ally as a shield, while that did make him smile a little, one less warrior, if he could even call him that, would spell death for them all. "S-So what?!" Wolf's shouted as he continued to attack, his stopped briefly though as he had gotten fatigued, causing him to drop down to one knee, completely drained of power. Sweat dripped off of his face as he panted, trying to regain his foot as he heard the machine getting closer, he weakly assumed a fighting stance, he wasn't strong enough to fly at the moment.

[NacNak]

as the beam attack stopped Devastator looked directly into Wolfs eye's while holding R'yak, even though it didn't have the facial features to do so, one could tell it was grinning, then at blinding speed Devastator turned around, looking directly at Glacier before throwing R'yak at her who looked like he had vanished from the speed he was thrown, Devastator then turned around to face Wolf once more, then it's chest opened up revealing what looked like some form of power source in the center of it's chest as it's arms went to it's sides in a flexing position upward, a bright crimson light shined from the power source before an intense beam fired from it aimed directly towards Wolf and Amber, the beam made an unnatural sound as crossed the distance between them almost instantaneously with little to no time to react
.
Amber tried to put up a Fire Wall but it was two fast and she was struck by the powerful beam, the force of it sent her flying backward, crashing through trees and large rocks before coming to a stop, she tried to get up, weakly opening her eye's before she fainted and reverted back to her normal form
.
Maximus watched as the machine fired a beam from it's chest at Wolf and Amber, he zoomed in on the machine chest and scanned it
"unknown power source... energy readings erratic, ability to read exact power level not possible" Maximus droned to himself as he scanned the machine body to try and find weak points

[IceHeart]

Before Glacier could throw she saw the machine manage to grab R'yak by the neck, effectively ending, at least temporarily, her plans to unleash an ever growing Death Ball at the machine. The machine knew tactics for sure and it was using one of the oldest in the book, an enemy for a shield. "Tch, you can't hold onto him forever..." She did not have to wait long as the machine turned up to look at her and threw R'yak straight for her at incredible speeds, obviously trying to break her concentration while continuing to fight the others. She could not dodge so her body reacted accordingly, except for her hand that was continuing to pump up the Death Ball. Bringing her tail in front of her to act like a sort of cushion and spring, R'yak rocketed into her spiraling tail and into her chest, she had braced as much as she could for the impact and managed to deflect R'yak to the right instead of taking the full brunt of his use as a projectile for the machine.

As he bounced off her she could feel her concentration almost slip away but she somehow managed to hold onto it and keep her ground for the most part. The Death Ball was ready and Glacier threw it with all her might at the devastator. The large Cyan energy ball traveled down for a direct hit on their enemy. She noticed Maximus after she had unleashed her attack. Good, the machine might be able to find a flaw in their opponent not readily seen by biologicals, though she had good reason to believe her Death Ball had sufficient enough charge to do some damage to even their steel-hide opponent.

[Yog Sothoth]

R'yak was in immense pain thanks to Devastator grabbing him very roughly by the throat and putting him directly into Wolf's attack. He thought he was going to be completely fired but thankfully, the attack stopped not long after he was used as a shield. This metal monstrosity was a dirty fighter, using an enemy as a shield against his opponent wasn't a very honorable quality, but R'yak guessed that was how machines worked, they didn't have a concept of honor. Before he could do anything to get out of the robot's grip, R'yak was thrown straight at Glacier with insane force and crashed into her at high speed, luckily her tail had kept him from hurting her badly. He then tumbled to the ground and landed very hard. He lay on the ground for a moment as he tried to regain his strength and wondered they would be able to defeat such a foe.

His mind then wandered to his dead family and he felt his anger rise. He hadn't been able to save them because wasn't strong enough and they were murdered because of it. He wouldn't allow a talk hunk of metal deny him the right to get his revenge and he growled with fury as he felt his energy rise up again. He got to his feet and turned to face the machine as his rage kept building. His eyes were red with fury and his power level was slowly climbing up.

---

Orin cursed as felt what was happening with other and he knew that he had to get moving and help the others.

"I'm going to go help them, tell Kaliflur that we need her help as well. Also try and contact Violet and get her to come if you can" he told Alice and then took off into the air at a very fast pace. Goddamn it! I completely misjudged this thing and now the others are seriously hurt without my assistance, Orin thought to himself as quickly flew in the direction of battle. He hoped that they would be able to hold on for a little while longer so that he could get there.

[Stryder]

Wolf quickly brought his hands up to the attack, his feet easily creating drag lines in the rocky dirt as she struggled, the attack was burning. He was slowly succumbing to the force of the attack, he shouted as his muscles strained, muscle failure was setting in quickly as he seethed he got weaker and weaker. 'I...I can't give up....a t-true saiyan does not....surrender..!' He shouted before the blast engulfed his body, Wolf screamed out in immense pain as he was hit, the attack badly hurt him. Placing a hand onto the ground he tried to pick himself back up, weakly getting to his feet. The saiyan warrior staggered as he walked, barely able to power up, his level only at a measly 200 now, he spat out bit of blood as he readied a small ball of ki, he fired it, not knowing whether it'd hit or not. Wolf was drained completely, he passed out, his aura blacking out at the instant as he shut his eyes.

[NacNak]

As the Death Ball closed on Devastator it turned towards it, it chuckled as it seemed to look through the attack to Glacier, Maximus observed as the energy readings became erratic like before, Devastator's chest opened up as it angled itself towards the Death Ball, crimson energy shined from what Maximus believed to be the machines core before a powerful beam fired out from it again, it sped towards the Death Ball and pierced through it like nothing, causing it to exploded into a plume of cyan flames, as the explosion took place the crimson beam of energy traveled through it, exiting the flames aimed directly at Glacier, it sped towards her almost instantaneously, leaving little room for her to evade
.
Maximus slowly descended to the clearing with his arms to his side, with his hands curled into fists, his calculations were right, every time the machine went to fire the beam from it's chest the energy readings grew more erratic and calmed down after, as he concluded this his feet softly landed on the ground, the machine hadn't noticed him landing and turned towards R'yak and chuckled evilly in a robotic tone as it began walking towards him, Maximus was about to move but Wolf's Ki blast flew by him and sped towards Devastator, slamming into his back and exploding, it did no damage but it did draw it's attention, Devastator turned around and locked Maximus into his view and took a few steps towards him, Maximus being a machine had no power level to scan so Devastator assumed the weak attack came from him
"SO DESPERATE ARE THE WEAKLINGS OF THIS PLANET THAT THEY SEND SCRAP METAL TO COMBAT ME, PATHETIC" Devastator droned as he stood a good ten meters away from Maximus
.
(Activate Epic Battle Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSF2i0rU_Q8 )
.
Maximus didn't say a word as he got into a battle stance, just like before his scans picked up Devastators energy readings becoming erratic, Maximus had to act fast, he knew his enemy was faster then him so he had to push himself to go faster, the second he picked up on the erratic energy readings the ground around Maximus in a ten foot radius shattered as he disappeared
.
Devastator's chest opened up and flexed his arms upward as a bright crimson light shined from his core, the light intensified greatly as it readied to fire, time seemed to slow down as Maximus appeared in front of Devastator ready to strike, as the beam went to fire Maximus put all his strength behind a right punch that landed on Devastators exposed chest, a shockwave rang out as Devastator staggered backwards as a powerful beam fired into the sky, red electricity jumped around Devastators core shortly as the light dimed, the machine droned out a growl as it took aim again, it's core lighting up, once more Maximus vanished appearing right in front of Devastator and throwing a left punch that landed on it's chest making Devastator stagger back with more red electricity sparking from his core, firing a crimson beam that cut through the forest in Kires and Violets direction just barely missing R'yak as it sped by, Devastator let out a droned roar of anger, anger at this primitive machine that managed to hit it and do damage even though it was little, it's chest was still exposed as it charged up again, this time when Maximus charged at him it fired lasers from it's eye's, Maximus did his best to evade them and charged up a silver orb in his right hand before throwing it at Devastator, in his rage the tall machine ignored the attack as it charged at Maximus, the orb flew up to his face before it glowed brightly

"Flash-Bang!!!"

Maximus exclaimed before the orb exploding into a blinding bright silver light as a deafening shockwave erupted from the orb, Maximus landed as he slid backwards, he looked to Devastator.
.
Devastator grabbed at his eye's with his left hand, the blinding white light and shockwave had messed up his vision, everything was blurry and fogged up , his targeting was also on the fritz, he growled in anger before he flexed his arms, red energy seemed to steam off the machines core before it began to steam off it's body, Maximus tensed up when he detected a dramatic power flux from Devastator
"power increase detected..." he droned before Devastator fired a powerful beam of energy at Maximus, before he could react the beam had hit him sending him dragging through the ground and tearing up the rock as he plowed through it, silver electricity jumped around Maximus's body momentarily as he got up, he looked down the path he created to Devastator who had regained his senses, Maximus tilted his head slightly towards Devastator, silver electricity jumped around him before he became enveloped in a blaze of silver aura, Devastators eye's flashed as he detected a power spike, he locked his eye's on Maximus as he switched his power level filters to scan for synthetic power levels, and his eye's ever so slightly widened in mild amusement when he seen Maximus's power level at 1,000,000.
.
Maximus's mechanical muscles bulked up as he slowly looked to Devastator, silver electricity jumped around him as rocks and rubble on the ground began to float into the air before shattering into nothing

"Maximum Over-Drive!!!"

Maximus's aura exploded from him as his power level skyrocketed to 20,000,000. then he vanished, the ground where he was ruptured into debris as the trees bent to the speed at which Maximus was traveling, as Devastators chest was closing Maximus appeared in front of him and grabbed hold of one of the chest plates that was closing, with all his might he tore off a plate and jumped back before throwing it to the sky, Devastator roared as he lunged at Maximus and socked him with a right punch, the shockwave from the hit split the ground as Maximus was sent sky high, before Devastator gave chase his chest closed up, but a small part of his chest near the top left was missing, exposing a red glow, the tall machine quickly gave chase as the it fired lasers at Maximus, with each shot Maximus evaded with his speed, he charged at Devastator and they met with a powerful shockwave that blew the clouds away, Maximus evaded punches and kicks as best he could while also dishing out some punishment, each strike from Maximus was aimed at the exposed part of Devastators chest, each hit resulted in sparks flying from it with red electricity jumping from it, even though a weak spot had been exposed, Maximus wasn't nearly doing enough damage to affect the monster of a machine
.
Amber opened her eye's slightly and looked to the sky, she could barely see two blurred figures speeding across the sky in a battle to the death, she could feel each punch and kicks impact from above, she grit her teeth in frustration, even though she could barely see the fight, she knew that the demon of a robot was still winning
"what will it take?..." she asked faintly as she tried to close her hands to fists, barely managing to do so
.
Alice looked to Orin as he left with a serous look then got on the comes to the base and located Kaliflur, Alice open a com to the area she was in and spoke in a worried but serous tone
"Kaliflur! you need to join the others now! they're in trouble and if you don't go to help them, the whole planet will be in trouble!" she exclaimed into the coms as she ran to a machine near her desk, she turned it on and vials of senzu serum began filling up
.
as the fight went on Maximus managed to get a powerful kick on Devastators exposed chest making him stagger back as red electricity jumped around the exposed core, as Maximus moved to attack again his intense silver aura then died down just before his attack hit, when it impacted it's as if the power behind it was gone, Maximus made some space between him and Devastator who looked at him and chuckled, Maximus's over-drive ran out and with that his power level plummeted back down to 1,000,000. he moved to put his arms and legs up into a block but was to slow, Devastator closed the gap between himself and Maximus in an instant before bringing it's hands into a club and slamming them down onto Maximus's head, spark flew from the impact after the shockwave when Maximus slammed into the ground making a huge crater, Maximus quickly recovered and jumped out of the crater before looking up
.
Devastator looked down to Maximus before his chest opened up exposing his chest again, instead of a beam shooting out of his chest it looked as it energy was gathering to his core, lighting stuck him over and over again, the glow in his chest grew brighter as his power increased, a demonic crimson red vapor began steaming from his body as he collected power
.
Maximus's scanners were going crazy, he couldn't get any energy readings because they were to erratic for him to pick up, Maximus took a few steps back trying to think of what to do, that's when he almost stepped on Wolf's tail, Maximus looked down to Wolf and scanned him
"this subject has serous internal bleeding..." he said as he looked to Wolf, he then noticed Amber, he scanned her quickly to make sure she was okay
"this subject will live..." Maximus then took out a vial from his back and looked at the clear green liquid inside, without hesitation he took off the lid and stuck the needle into Wolfs right shoulder before he walked over to Amber and slung her over his left shoulder, Maximus then looked to Devastator who was hovering in the air, still gathering power, completely ignoring the others
.
Maximus looked down
"situation's bad... we need a solution..." he droned out as he walked over to Wolf

[Silver Carrot]

Frieza had fallen. She could feel the battle had made her stronger. Her goal had been met. Now, she should either head out now, or train some more.

Before Kaliflur had time to think on this properly, the comm went off. It was Alice's voice. The rest of them were in trouble and they needed her help. If the others were in trouble, she didn't stand a chance. Nevertheless, she was honor-bound to try. She turned off the training room, opened the door, and flew out the base, rocketing through the halls of the facility and causing papers to fly everywhere. When she was out of the lab, she sped to where the fighting was taking place.

Everyone was on the ground, and the new being was in the air, charging up. That was not an overall good sign. It means that the enemy had taken first, second and third blood. Her first priority was to stop him from charging up whatever attack he would unleash.

She flew right to him and delivered her strongest punch to his face. Even if it didn't hurt him, it should at least break his concentration. She powered up to her maximum of 400,000, and took a defensive stance.

"I'm not going to quit until one of us is no longer fighting, so bring it!"

[Chev]

"Not bad." Kires grinned as he unleashed another barrage of Kai blasts at her as her fist slammed into his chest only to have him grab her fist with both hands. "I think it's time that you see one of my stronger attacks." He said with a respectful smile. She was a good sparring partner.

"And just for the record, this might hurt a bit."

Both of Kires's fists began to glow and he closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"Hyper Kai Blast!" He shouted as his fists began to glow with barely restrained power.

[Yog Sothoth]

R'yak gave a roar as his power level rose to 500,000 and he felt his rage give him his strength. He was going to try and give the robot as much pain as possible. He saw Kaliflur come enter the battle and attack Devastator with a powerful punch. R'yak used this time to make his move and almost in sync with Kaliflur's attack, he flew at Devastator and landed an extremely powerful kick to the machine back just as Kaliflur landed her punch.

---

Orin got to the battle and saw that the situation was getting worse and he powered up to 300,000. He flew towards the robot as R;yak, and Kaliflur attacked it. When his two allies landed their attacks, Orin swung out with his hook-staff and connected it with the other side of the robot's head where Kaliflur had not hit. He hit it with the hook end of his staff which was charged with a huge amount of energy so it was sure to cut into Devastator's head and cause some kind of damage. Orin was fired up and ready fight with all that he had.

[NacNak]

Just as everyone attacks were about to hit, Devastator droned out a laugh, when their strike landed, it literally did nothing beside make a dull metal thud, when Orin's hook-staff connected a small amount of sparks flew from the impact as the attack didn't even leave a scratch, a demonic crimson aura erupted from Devastator as the energy gathering at his exposed core increased, the power from his aura released a shockwave that slammed into Orin, R'yak, and Kaliflur sending them towards the ground, as Devastator powered up a deep hum could he heard, rocks began floating into the air as a transparent crimson sphere of energy surrounded Devastator and expanded at least three times his size, dark clouds began circling above as lighting lit up the sky, Devastator continued to bellow out a droned laugh as his synthetic energy became powerful enough to be barely felt by organic life forms
.
As Kires and Violet continued their fight a powerful stray beam of crimson energy sped towards them, as the beam closed in it looked as if it was cutting through the sky in an upward motion, what looked like a line of explosion erupted from the ground below Kires and Violet just before the stray crimson beam flew upward right between the two as they were fighting, the power coming off the beam sent the two flying back a few meters before it continued skyward quickly vanishing into the clouds above

[Stryder]

'So far from my grasp, I was so close!' Wolf mentally shouted, his oncoming death aware to him even in his unconscious state, he knew he was slipping away, both literally and figuratively. 'I could have killed them all, but you, you wouldn't allow it! My family, all that I stood for had been destroyed!' Wolf yelled in his head, angry that he couldn't attain the fabled unlimited power of a super saiyan. In the depths of his mind he could see his family, his father faced him and had a frantic yet ready look, placing a hand on his son's shoulder. 'Run! We'll hold them back!' His father spoke, a loud battle cry escaped the saiyan as he prepared to fight. 'Father, no!' Wolf shouted to warn his father, he was too late, his father's last words were a call of his two son's names. 'Wolf!Timber!Big brothers! Help!' All of these voices were shouting at him, his mother was screaming and crying for her sons, telling them that they were loved and how she knew they'd be powerful warriors. His younger brothers, killed with simple ki attacks, his sisters met the same fate. In his subconscious the saiyan tried shutting his ears, only for the noise of crying, screaming, and the accompanying laughter of the sadistic dark saiyans to still reach his ears. It kept repeating over and over, getting louder as the time progressed. 'MAKE IT STOP!!!' Wolf screamed mentally, this was at about the same time Maximus used the senzu serum on him.

The very moment Wolf woke up from his self inflicted nightmare, his power was already rising, his aura already around him, blazing violently. The ground began to splinter and crack, Wolf slammed his hands on the ground as he lied on his back, cracking the ground and creating craters as he yelled. The saiyan stood up, his face was an expression of extreme anger and hate, even with his eyes closed. Once he opened them, the black pupils in his eyes were no longer present, just a soulless dead white. His hair was flowing in the forceful gales of his own energy, small spots of electricity crackled,sparking around the dark gold colored ki, a deep red color laced the inside of the aura, making Wolf's hair discolor into its own red. With a shout of fury, Wolf took off, his break into flight tore away the surrounding earth, he was at a power level far beyond his natural one, 35,000,00. This wasn't natural, it was like he was ascended but he just wasn't quite there yet. He charged Devastator, he drove a fist into the side of the machine's head with all of his new power. Wolf was enraged, more so focused on fighting and nothing else, not the reason nor the outcome of it.

[Silver Carrot]

Violet has preparing herself for his attack. She hoped it would hurt. The more powerful it was, the better. Suddenly, she picked up a reading.

"GET DOWN!" she shouted, and then tackled him to the ground, moving much faster than she had previously. In fact, if this was her true speed, she'd have wiped the floor with him by now. Had she been holding back?

A bright and very powerful beam flew overhead, before flying up into the atmosphere. Violet stood up, stunned and in awe.

"Well, we're out of time. There's something a lot more powerful than either of us here, and we're going to have to fight it now." She pointed in it's direction. "Don't trust your scouter. It's a machine. Can't you feel it?"

---

Kaliflur was forced back by the shockwave, though wasn't hurt. She landed on her feet, and her tail twitched.She was an ant compared to this...this monster. She should have trained more. Today was very likely to be the day she died, but that just meant she had to fight harder. She had to give that thing everything she had, and die a warrior's death.

That's when she felt the Dark Saiyan power up. It was incredible. She couldn't feel Devastator's power despite how easily it buffered her down, but Wolf's power....was this what the Dark Saiyans were capable of? While her tribe were living on Moons and staging tournaments with lesser beings, the Dark Saiyans had traded honor for strength, it seemed. She was feeling twice as helpless now.

[NacNak]

A shockwave rang out from the impact of Wolfs fist, Devastator's head tilted slightly as the hit connected, he narrowed his eye's slightly as he turned to look at Wolf, without warning Devastator turned and grabbed Wolfs neck with his left hand as his chest closed, his core slightly exposed, the metal hand crushed Wolfs neck close to the point of breaking it as Devastator held Wolf away from him as the large sphere of energy faded
"YOU ARE, ALL OF YOU, VERMIN, LASHING OUT THINKING WHAT I WONDER..., THAT YOU MIGHT PREVENT THE COMING FIRE?, NO, YOUR WORLD WILL BURN UNTIL IT IS BUT ASH FLOATING IN THE VACUUM, NOT EVEN YOUR STAR WILL BE LEFT TO LIGHT THE SMALL PART OF THE GALAXY YOU RESIDED IN, FOR DESTRUCTION WAS THE WILL OF MY CREATORS, AND I? I AM THEIR INSTRUMENT!!!" Devastator exclaimed in a droned tone as his grip on Wolf tightened, he then brought back his right arm as two energy blades activated over his fist, then he punched Wolf directly in his stomach with monstrous force, making a shockwave ring out that blanked out the sound of two energy blades impaling Wolfs torso, Devastator let out a droned chuckle as red electricity jumped around the blades
.
Maximus looked up to Devastator and Wolf, only to take a step back at what he seen, two energy blade were piercing through Wolf's back, just missing his spine, Maximus clenched his right fist making electricity jump around it as he restrained himself from charging at Devastator
"possibility of success is low..." Maximus droned as he tried to plan a move

[Stryder]

Wolf's enraged state was too focused on his initial attack to notice it barely did any real damage, as he brought his leg forward he was stopped. The warrior let out a yell of power, his level peaking and wavering as it stayed there, His breath was cut short as Devastator grabbed him, his neck encased by the metal menace's hand, as he struggled to escape, a sharp cry of pain escaped him, along with the blood he coughed up. As he listened on, Wolf glared into the piercing eyes of the machine with his own soulless solid white eyes, glaring madly. A look of complete shock as the wind was knocked out of him, along with a piercing pain, his aura ceased immediately after such. His eyes returned to their normal state as did everything else did, Wolf brought a shaking hand to his wound, the moment he touched it, he felt a searing pain, there was no way out for him, not now.

[IceHeart]

Glacier could not dodge the blast that pierced and destroyed her death ball, the immense power of the crimson energy blast washed over her, knocking her from the air. Glacier plummeted to the ground and busted quite a few trees in the process as her smallish form bounced around on the ground quite a few times before rolling to a complete stop. The pain was intense, to think that machine had so much power, well still nothing compared to her 4th transformation but to her 1st it was like a truck running over some roadkill. Glacier managed to rise unsteadily on her feet but coughed up some blood in the process. "My 1st form just doesn't have enough power, blast it."

She could feel her power level plummet from all the damage she had taken. Then the Devastator powered up a shockwave buffeted out and nearly caused her to collapse even though she was so far away. "Now things are really looking bad, but..." Glacier remembered the syringe she had saved from the lab in her improvised satchel. She opened it up and found shards of glass and liquid in the bottom of the sack. Disgusted she tossed it aside, there would be no wonder cure for her, the syringe having been smashed during the battle. "Still, I will not die to some half-pint tin can when I have real enemies to face." Glacier steeled herself and concentrated on powering up..200,000...300,000...500.000...and it stopped there. So weak, so insignificant compared to what she should be capable off, whatever race had created this seal were some of the most crafty beings ever born in the universe.

Everyone was tossed aside but then a strange thing happened, Glacier got close enough to see Wolf spike in power, his hair turning white as a result. At first she thought of the legendary super saiyan but that was impossible as she could tell the power was nowhere near her own, at least when she had full access to it, but compared to everyone else it was most impressive indeed, even surpassing Maximus when the robot had went into overdrive. "To think he has suddenly become so powerful," Glacier could not help but feel frustrated at her own weakness, "that monkey should not be more powerful than me!" For some reason Glacier felt her natural icy demeanor start to melt and instead hot anger boiled to the surface. The anger was not directed at the Devastator or even Wolf, but at herself for being unable to conquer whatever force was preventing her from unleashing her true power. "As a last survivor of my race I will not be contained anymore!"

Glacier focused all her willpower in on herself, striving to break the seal and push herself upward. The curse fought back, trying to pin her down, she grit her teeth and kept trying to raise her power level. Pain stabbed her brain in protest but she ignored it and kept trying. The first signs of the curse breaking began, first glacier started to grow bulkier, than two horns started to protrude from her cranium. Suddenly she seemed to swell in all directions before stopping at a much larger and bulkier form of herself. She had grown to around 7 feet tall, all her muscles were now much bulkier and stronger looking, like she had gone through some intense weight training and yet there was still a bit of her naturally sleekness left despite her massive growth. All her previous pains and aches were gone and her power level exploded to around 5,000,000. It miffed her a bit to realize she was still out powered by Wolf but she knew this would have to do for now. Mentally she was not ready to try and burst through another level of the seal but physically she was completely ready for battle.

Wolf had already struck by this time which caused a resounding shockwave but even with his increase in power his attack barely did anything. Glacier inwardly sighed at the saiyan's incompetence as well as everyone else, the only one of the team that had managed to do anything of worth had been the robot, Maximus. It was high time to take advantage of the opening it had made during his short-lived overdrive session. Wolf wasted his chance to use his brief boost of power effectively and now had blades protruding though his back. "I'm ashamed at you all, having fought this long and still not seen the path to victory. A fighter adapts to their circumstances!" Glacier rocketed forward faster than most could even notice.

"Out of the way monkey! I'll show you why we once had the title of strongest in the universe!" Glacier grabbed onto the Devastator's back, rammed her left hand into the exposed area on the Devastator's chest and fired straight into the machine's core. The powerful ki blasts ripped into the machines innards but that wasn't the only thing Glacier did. At the same right she latched on and started her fierce barrage into the machine she used her Darkness Eye Beam to fire at the Devastator's wrist joint, the hand holding wolf and used her powerful tail to smash Wolf off of the machine's blades so he would no longer be in the way of the others. As soon as that was done she used her tail to secure the machine's bladed arm while the rest of her limbs attempted to latch onto various parts of its body as she continued to blast away into the core.

"Curious that your master decided to let you loose after the Planet Trade Federation was destroyed, don't you think?" Glacier taunted. She might not be as strong even in this form as some of the others had been but she had an advantage they did not. While they had been pushing their limits she technically was just warming up and could therefore keep her power and strength for the rest of the battle. She also knew how to think strategically and the key to victory was to attack the inside of this machine as its outer armor had turned out to be too powerful to easily penetrate but Maximus had opened up that first chink in the armor and it was high time to exploit it.

[NacNak]

Devastator's eye's widened slightly when Glacier latched onto him, as he turned to look at her his eye's widened in both anger and pain, red electricity jumped out from the hole in his chest as he flinched from Glacier attacking it, he felt his right hand being attacked as Wolf was knocked from his grasp, with a loud droned roar Devastator powered up, his demonic crimson aura erupted from him knocking Glacier away, he then turned to face her, red electricity was still sparking from his exposed core, both his fists clenched in anger
"I KNOW OF YOUR SPECIES, ICEJIN, I FOUND A SMALL COLONY OF YOUR KIND ON A WORLD ORBITING A DWARF STAR, THE HAD FEAR IN THEIR EYE'S BEFORE I ARRIVED, OUT OF CURIOSITY I ASKED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I FOUND OUT THEY WERE SURVIVORS OF WHAT THEY DESIGNATED AS A DARK SAIYAN ATTACK ON THEIR HOME WORLD, I MADE A PROMISE TO THEM..." the machine seemed to grin at Glacier as it's right had opened up
"THAT I WOULD DESTROY THE DARK SAIYAN RACE..." a crimson orb of energy formed in Devastators right hand, it grew to the size of a basketball as Devastator glared at Glacier
"AFTER I HUNTED DOWN AND DESTROYED EVERY LAST ICEJIN IN EXISTENCE!!!" Devastator exclaimed in his droned voice as he threw the orb at Glacier, it closed the distance with incredible speed as it cut through the air
.
"Fire-Wall!"

a brilliant wall of flaming energy formed in front of Glacier just before the orb hit, red energy flew out if all directions behind the wall at it bent to the power of Devastators attack
"move!" a voice exclaimed as a female figure tackled Glacier out of the way as the wall shattered, Devastators attack flew off into the distance, just as it vanished, on the horizon a massive explosion of crimson energy plumed into the air as the ground below it was vaporized, Devastators eye's narrowed as it glared at the two in the air with him
.
Amber hovered near Glacier as she looked to Devastator
"that... was close..." she said as she glared back to the machine
.
as Wolf fell to the ground Maximus caught him just before he impacted, Maximus looked to Wolf as blood came from his injury's
"you require medical attention immediately" Maximus droned as he looked up to the three hovering high above, more specifically he looked to Amber, she came to when Glacier attacked Devastator, though she was weak from fighting before, Maximus had a small portion of senzu serum left, just enough to bring her back to fighting strength, Maximus looked back to Wolf before he jumped into the air, he then flew towards Alice's lab with Wolf over his left shoulder
.
Amber looked to Glacier then back to Devastator
"so what's the plan?" she asked Glacier as she got into a fighting position

[Yog Sothoth]

R'yak felt his anger rise even more when the robot sent them falling to the ground and he watched as Wolf made his feeble attempts to win against his opponent. Even the monkey with all of boast of superiority couldn't do anything against this metal monstrosity, and R'yak knew that unless he did something they may all perish by the Devastator's hands. He got to his feet and then he saw Glacier finally manage to break through a barrier in the curse that was placed on and he felt her power increase by a huge amount. R'yak clenched his fists as he watched Devastator try to harm her with blast and was then saved by Amber. His hatred rose to all new levels and he gave a roar of fury as his power level exploded and he was surrounded in a crimson red aura.

[R'yak's transformation music]

He felt his power level skyrocket as it went up to 29,000,000 and he gave a shout of fury which made the ground area shake violently, "YOU STUPID MACHINE! I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!"

His hatred was what gave him this incredible power, his family's death was fueling his transformation. R'yak was in the first stage of his Rage Form and his fur had tone a slightly reddish color and his eyes glowed like two fiery infernos. He then charged at amazing speeds straight at Devastator and punched him right in the gut area and sent the robot flying. R'yak was now ready for a fight.

Orin looked in a amazement when he saw first Glacier transform and then R'yak, but it looked like that would not be enough against a foe as powerful as Devastator. So Orin decided that it was time for him try and transform into his Ocean God form once again. He hoped that this time he would be able to control it more properly and he clenched both of his fists and started to power up as he gave a scream of power.

[Orin's transformation music]

The sky began to darken as rain started to fail and thunder and lightning flashed over their heads. Orin was then surrounded by a sea blue aura and his turned a light blue as his eyes became a seaweed green. His teeth sharpened into shark like teeth. His power level climbed all the way up to 24,000,000 and he gave a smile at the robot. He quickly moved over to Amber and Glacier.

"We need to attack him hard and fast from many different angles, it might confuse him and gives us openings in his defense, we should probably start now so that we have four attacking and not just three if he knocks out R'yak" Orin said to them when Amber asked about a plan of attack.

[NacNak]

Devastator stopped himself in mid flight after R'yak hit him, it didn't seem to do anything except earn him a glare, an electrical hum rumbled from Devastator as his hellish red aura enveloped him before he looked to R'yak
"YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR FUTURE ORGANIC, I AM FAR BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION, I HAVE BEEN ONLINE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF LIFE THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE, AND PUTTING AND END TO THEIR FUTILE EXISTANCE, COUNTLESS SPECIES HAVE ATTEMPTED TO STOP ME, ALL HAVE FAILED, FOR I AM THE VANGUARD OF ALL LIFE'S DESTRUCTION, AND YOU WILL FALL LIKE THE REST" Devastator droned in a dark tone as he vanished, only to appear behind R'yak before sending a destructive right punch into R'yak's back sending him flying to the ground below, but he didn't stop there, Devastator opened his right hand and aimed it at R'yak as he fell towards the ground, a crimson orb formed in the machines hand to the size of a beach ball before multiple basket ball sized orbs flew out of it, all seemed locked onto R'yak as they sped towards him
.
Amber looked to Orin with a serous expression
"that's our plan? throw ourselves at him to see if he'll let his guard down?" Amber grit her teeth as she looked to the machine when it attack R'yak, her fists clenched shut as she floated back slightly

[Stryder]

NacNak said as Wolf fell to the ground Maximus caught him just before he impacted, Maximus looked to Wolf as blood came from his injury's"you require medical attention immediately" Maximus droned as he looked up to the three hovering high above, more specifically he looked to Amber, she came to when Glacier attacked Devastator, though she was weak from fighting before, Maximus had a small portion of senzu serum left, just enough to bring her back to fighting strength, Maximus looked back to Wolf before he jumped into the air, he then flew towards Alice's lab with Wolf over his left shoulder.

Wolf was still living but barely it seemed, blood was bubbling from his chest like a sucking chest wound, each breath that came from Wolf was one resembling wheezing. "If I...am to die...let me die!" He spoke up, still barely able to manage a sentence, blood clogging his airways at one point, causing him to hack up copious amounts. He was too weak to fight the machine, he did hear its words though, the droning laughter rang through his head, sticking to him like a bad taste in his mouth. He was far beyond the repair of a serum now, he needed serious help and even after, he'd need to recover, fighting wouldn't be of merit for him.
