[IC] Dragon Ball Z: Dark Ascension

[Yog Sothoth]

R'yak gave a snort when Violet called the dark saiyan her friend, robots were always easy to convince, they're just machines, he thought to himself. Well he wouldn't ever trust the monkey, he was neutral about the regular saiyans and was fine with trusting them, but he would never trust the dark saiyans, not after what they did to his home and family.

"If the Majin is here to help us kill the Dark Saiyans that are coming, then she's an ally of mine" he said to them with his arms crossed.

---

Djin Ra ignored the Ice-Jin's comments, and focused on the others. He hoped that the situation would become more defused and that the fighting ended so they could get to know more about each other.

" No shit Sherlock, I live on earth and I'm wasn't gonna let it be trashed by some, trash eating saiyan ! " Hale told the android," Oh and if you think he's here to help us. your out of your 500 zetta byte mind, as soon as he's done." Hale put up her hands making an emphasis. " Helping." She put her hands down," He'll just blow you to pieces, and make the rest of you into stains on the ground sadly." She poke her bosom with her thumb," Not me, I'll be laughing before I save the day."

[Silver Carrot]

Violet looks all around the lab, and the damage it had suffered in that short battle.

"Is this your definition of 'saving the day'? I'll estimate you've killed at lest three of our men."

Violet sighs, and turns her back to the Majin, before adding acidly;

"Save the day somewhere else. You've done enough here."

She begins to walk away.

[Spriggs27]

" Alright you walking junk pile, go off and brood, that you were too good to be decomissioned liked your counter parts, and also you haven't seen the outside, if you think I've only killed three men." Hale said before crossing her arms and watching Violet walk away.

[NacNak]

A door opened behind Hale and Alice walked in, with a weapon in hand, the sight of her lab enraged her, hearing that Hale killed her scientists made her livid, she grit her teeth and tightened her grip on the weapon to the point that she was almost denting the handle, electricity jumped around her as she shot a death glare to the back of Hales head
"get the F*ck off of my property..." Alice said though her grit teeth as she aimed the weapon at Hale, as she lifted it she flipped a switch and energy began to charge up in the gun, when it was aimed Alice pulled the trigger and a bolt of white energy fired from the barrel of the weapon towards Hales center of mass, this weapon was designed specifically for Majins, not to kill them, but put them in a state of paralysis temporarily to allow them to be moved to a prison made to hold Majins
.
Maximus was on his way to the lab but was had his attention grabbed by Glacier, he watched through a window as he seen her leave the lab to sit on the grass outside, he looked towards the lab and scanned the area, almost everyone's power levels were there, including some new ones, but they shouldn't be a major threat, the others should be able to handle them, with that Maximus made his way outside, quietly he approached Glacier, his heavy metal foot steps softened from the grass, he stood two meters away from her and looked off to the horizon as the clouds disappeared beyond them, the sun was hidden behind a large rock formation
"I believe one would say that this sight is... beautiful..." he droned in a soft tone to Glacier as he continued to gaze off to the horizon

[IceHeart]

Lost in her own thoughts Glacier did not notice Maximus approaching her, partly due to the grass softening his footsteps and partly because as a machine he had no ki to sense, not that she was the best at sensing ki in the first place. She heard the machine speak from two meters away and turned her head to look at him. "Ah yes the machine, Maximus..." she droned a bit then looked back at the view. A particular rock formation cut off the sun from view but magnificent beams of light found their way around it. The light seemed to play with the senses and her eyes softened slightly.

"I've seen better, but I'll admit this planet has its own unique..charm." Took her a moment to find the right word for the little globe called Earth, it suited the planet. She glanced back at the machine. "Good work back there, thanks to your efforts we managed to find the weakness of that scrap heap and actually win. That thing had a decent amount of power but intelligence opened the way to victory." Glacier said, referring to the Devastator incident they had been in. "Course I could have taken it on myself if I had...nevermind." At the moment R'yak was really the only one privy to the information of her curse, she wasn't about to open up to some tin can, even a highly intelligent one. There was a chance the machine actually knew about the ice-jin but if not she wasn't about to explain that she would normally have the power to destabilize a planet's core if it weren't for some revenge minded species' curse.

The search party had split up soon after identifying likely locations for labs that would have the resources to create a dragonball radar, most of these locations where rather large cities which were full of tech, flying cars, and capsules, lots and lots of capsules. Xeroth had flown above a large city for a while, searching for a fitting lab and scaring quite a few citizens in the process with his dragonish demeanor. Spotting a likely place he settled down in front of a large circular building that looked like a bubble. Instantly he was surrounded by security guards.

"What do you think you're doing here beast? You can't come in here without authorization!" A large burly man commanded though despite his size was not even close to Xeroth's mass.

"This will not take long, does this..." Xeroth took a closer look at the name on the building, "Capsule Corp Laboratory have any dragon radars? A small device that can sense these objects called dragon balls?" Xeroth quested the rather antsy looking guards, a few began whispering between themselves.

"What the heck is it talking about? Dragon radar? Dragon balls?"
"Heck if I know?"

The burly one, obviously the officer in commanded silenced his squad with a gesture. "I don't know what you're talking about monster but you are not going to steal company secrets! Take him!" He pointed at Xeroth and a few tougher looking beastmen tried to restrain him.

Xeroth shook his head and brushed them off with a claw, sending them sprawling. "Fine guess I'll just have to search myself, could have done this the easy way."

"Attack! Don't let him in!" The officer commanded and instantly the air was rife with bullets which merely bounced off his hide. The squad was helpless as the massive Xeroth blasted open the steel doors and started the rummage through the lab in his search.

Maximus nodded at Glacier's comment on how earth had it's own unique charm, he had to agree with her, when Glacier mentioned the fight with Devastator he looked to her to listen, when she finished he walked up to her right, still standing a meter away while looking to the horizon, he knew she was hiding something from him, but he didn't need to know
"as much as intelligence helps to win a fight, power is needed to back it up... every machine has it's weak points..." Maximus said before he slightly looked to Glacier
"including myself..." he then looked back to the horizon
"logic told me to find Devastators weak point... so I took a risk to find it... and it turns out that I made the right decision... I had the intelligence... and I had the power... but I also had my weak point..." Maximus said as he looked down slightly, gently tightening his hands into fists
"it was one of the reasons I didn't continue to fight... one of the reasons why I left..." Maximus clenched his fists tighter as he looked away from Glacier
"my body... it couldn't contain the power I had... it still can't... both versions of my overdrive put immense strain on my body to overclock my systems to give me a power boost, but if I try to maintain it... my body begins to sustain damage, turning my power into a double edged sword... thus my usefulness in the battle against Devastator ran out... so logic drove me to save Wolf... he had the highest possibility to defeating Devastator... so he had to survive" Maximus droned as he loosened his grip as he looked back to the horizon
"I was going to return to the fight... but... Alice convinced me to stay... in the possibility that you all perished... I was to guard Wolf until he was healed enough to fight... but... it never came to that..." Maximus said as he slowly looked to Glacier
"against all odds, all of you managed to defeat Devastator and live, which is nothing short of impressive" he said as he slowly sat down a meter from Glacier's right, his legs were crossed, his elbows rested on his knees as his hands hung loosely crossed over each other just barely touching the grass as he looked to the horizon
"the earth and all it's people owes all of you their thanks... even if they don't know it..." he droned softly to her as he watched a cloud go behind the large rock formation that was hiding the sun

While Alice yelled for Hale to get the hell off her property, and aimed a weapon at the back of her head, Hale spun around in an instant and dodged the beam, then took the weapon out of the scientist's hands, she broke the energy rifle in half with her knee and tossed the two pieces on the floor," Seriously, do all people here yell out their attack before they do it ? It in fact helps me dodge it." Hale commented," And No, shut up, seriously, if he can stay, then I can stay."

[NacNak]

Alice grit her teeth as a livid look took over her, not only did this wad of gum kill her scientists, and damage her lab, but she had to add the gun she made to the garbage list, without warning Alice pushed a button on her belt which activated her emergency suit covering her body in combat armor that added the much needed power behind her punch, without a word Alice vanished in a burst of speed appearing right in front of Hale with her fists clenched then fired off a powerful uppercut, she aimed to hit Hale's jaw to send her flying out the hole in the ceiling she made

[IceHeart]

The machine really was quite nosy, Glacier thought to herself as she continued to sit there. The machine had gotten a bit closer during their conversation but was still a meter away, enough to make sure she did not feel at all threatened or annoyed, she had to wonder if the machine had calculated such social ramifications, not that it mattered. She had to admit, it was interesting to think that a planet actually owed her something, true it wasn't just her but still, like it or not she had saved a planet from destruction though of course she had done it to further her own goals. Glacier decided to lay down on the grass instead of sitting, her tail kind of got in the way of lying down on her back she she had to lie on her side to be as comfortable as possible. For some reason she felt that she could at least trust the machine not to annoy her so she decided to face away from Maximus. She continued to watch the skyline and occasional bird that flew in the sky.

Lissandra was not having exactly an easy time finding places that could have the needed dragon radar. Sure finding places with high levels of technology were not exactly difficult but she had to make sure to actually search and occasionally interrogate residents for information. The purple skinned female demon sometimes had better luck with seduction rather than brute force though her particular features made most humans and even other races weary of her. Still from her latest escapade she had managed to learn that there were some more advanced facilities in distant, often isolated locations where experiments could be done without harm to population centers. The person she had charmed the information out of was now a crumpled mess on the floor of his office of a large corporation. Executives tended to have quite a bit of information and this one had been no different. "I hope this doesn't end up being a wild goose chase, but gotta do what I gotta do." After stretching her limbs, gracefully of course, she rocketed out of the window, shattering glass down on the street below. First target to search was a laboratory that had apparently been used by a brilliant scientist called Dr. Gero, supposed to be abandoned but such places were often referbished for experiments later on.

[Yog Sothoth]

When Alice sent Hale flying, Orin and R'yak got in front of her and moved into defensive positions.

"Look I know you're upset, but we need all the help we can get against the Dark Saiyans and the majin girl could be very useful" Orin said to her as he held his staff in his hand.

"He's right, we need to focus on our true enemy and work on how to kill them all" R'yak piped in.

---

Djin Ra was annoyed that the human woman continued the aggression by attacking Hale and he quickly took off to go and help the majin girl. He flew up to her as she was still airborne and stretched out his arm to very long lengths to grab her by the ankle. He came to a halt and released her from his grip.

"I know your mad, but you've got to listen to me when I tell that attacking them again will only make things worse" Djin told Hale.

[Spriggs27]

The attack knocked Hale into the air, but the Majin stopped herself before she could fly threw the hole in the ceiling, she then landed and listened to everyone," The Hell, I did, I didn't do shit, and your blaming me, hell that woman hit me and I stopped when the dark sayain cried out for us to stop, personally I want my hit back on that woman." Hale pointed to Alice when she was on the ground," Let me get even and I'm won't make any more trouble." Hale offered the portly majin .

[NacNak]

Alice was to angered to listen to Orin and R'yak as she grit her teeth at Hale's words, she slowly and dangerously slipped by Orin and R'yak before approaching Hale with her fists clenched
"you didn't do sh*t?..., I watched the recordings of my labs outside cameras on my way here..., you attacked My lab, killed My scientists, and for what?, to challenge an injured saiyan to a fight?!" Alice exclaimed as she stopped less then two feet away from Hale, glaring directly into her eye's through her helmet's visor as electricity jumped around her body
"personally, I think punching you in the face was the least I should have done to you after what you did..." Alice said venomously
"and you don't deserve to 'Get Even' your the one at fault here..." she said sternly, her fists tightening as electricity jumped around them

[Stryder]

Wolf had been barely standing but he could easily gauge power still even with his injured status, the power Alice was readying got his attention. The two needed to calm down, fighting like this wouldn't solve anything and despite his violent nature, he knew that for sure, there was probably something else that was eager to kill them all just around the corner. He managed to walk over to Alice and grab her wrist, not hard but enough to get her attention, giving her a serious look that may have been slightly familiar to her past. "Fighting against each other will get us nowhere!" He said sternly before releasing her from his grasp, somewhat relaxing as the two came to terms with one another, at least the dispute had ended without bloodshed.
(THERE, CRISIS AVERTED)

[IceHeart]

So far Tyrus, nor any of his underlings, had any luck in locating a dragon radar, but then again it wouldn't have been any fun if they had found it right up. After communicating telepathically, using their madoshi friend as a medium, Lissandra reported something interesting to the rest of them about there being locations outside of the cities, secret labs. She had promptly found the remains of one by a certain scientist but the place was too trashed and apparently had nothing of worth left in it so it had been back to square one. At the moment they were separately scouring the mountains for signs of these secret laboratories and while they had a general idea of where they might be...it was still a lot of ground to cover. Things started to look up however when Tyrus came across quite a recent battlefield, or even perhaps some kind of testing grounds which meant that either there was habitation close by or else someone just wanted the most destructive bonfire ever in the middle of the forest. They tightened their search patterns to around the area and the game was afoot.

"Tyrus-sama was always a fan of long-shots." Xeroth grumbled as his massive, dragonoid frame flapped through the sky. Anything that peeked Tyrus's curiosity just had to be checked out it seemed, while the official reason for checking the area was to find one of those hidden labs the unofficial reason was no doubt to satisfy his own selfish whim of figuring out what had happened to level such an expanse of trees. As he was heading over a certain part of the mountains, Xeroth's sniffed the air, it was different from the burned trees he had visited earlier but he couldn't quite place it. Most likely it was organic, perhaps even flesh? He decided to narrow in on the scent and flew lower for a better look. Soon he saw it, it appeared that something on the mountainside had collapsed in, but it wasn't natural, something constructed that was blasted in and sure enough, it was the faint scent of death that probably only his sharp nose could sense, the scent being the poor scientists who had been present during the Majin's attack. He noticed a few figures down there, perhaps this was one of those secret labs, talk about luck!

Xeroth dove down and righted himself with a heavy flap of his wings and stood on top of the roof to peer down into the room. He considered trying to get in but the hole wasn't quite big enough without him having to smash through so for the moment he contented himself to grin down at the occupants with his sharp teeth. "Well well, if it isn't a secret lab of some sorts." He sneered as he tried to take in as many of them inside as he could. "Heh, forgive the house-call but your roof was open and I have a rather pressing matter to discuss with whoever runs this lair, a certain matter that concerns a device called a dragon radar."

[NacNak]

Alice had an angered look when she met Wolf's eye's, she was going to retort to his statement but the look in Wolf's eye's stopped her from doing so, so she had to settle with giving him a mildly upset glare, when Wolf released her wrist she deactivated her armor and gently rubbed her wrist where Wolf grabbed it, she seemed to calm down, that is until a shadow was cast down on them from the hole in the ceiling, Alice looked up to see a large dragon like being looking down to them, when it asked about a dragon radar Alice tensed up a little as she slowly crossed her arms before she stepped forward as if to show that she owned the facility, then she spoke
"Dragon Radar?" she asked him with a confused look
"I hate to disappoint you, but I haven't a clue as to what your talking about, now if you don't mind, I have more pressing matters to attend to, like fixing a hole in the ceiling..." Alice said as she turned her back on the dragon like being before walking over to a desk and looking at some papers on it
"the repairs are going to take hours to finish..." she complained mostly to herself

[Stryder]

Wolf was just about to release the female human from his grasp but her look bothered him slightly, she pulled away from him, he didn't fight her on it though. He direct his attention to the roof as he growled in annoyance, he was sick of these people bothering them, it was impeding possible progress for every around him. "We have nothing that you want!" He said in an angered tone with clenched fists, still hurting but the building anger was blocking it out. "Crawl back to the hole you came out of, mongrel..." He said as he began to float into the air, rising through the roof, the trademark saiyan glare of his was directed toward the dragon being. "Leave this place..." He said in a commanding tone.

[IceHeart]

Amused by Alice's and Wolf's attitude Xeroth grinned, "Well you see that is a bit of a problem after I spent all this time looking for this secret lab and all. The way I see it you've got a few options here," as he spoke Xeroth started to crack his joints, including his tail by doing various stretches with his limbs, "you can either find me a dragon radar so our search for the dragon balls goes more smoothly, make a dragon radar for me, or else I just rummage through your lab like all the others ones I've visited recently. This might be just another imp chase but then again some secret lab must have a few interesting secrets." Xeroth moved on from his limbs to his knuckles with dreadful sounding results.

"I'm sure you'll have at least something of interest to sate my lord's curiosity." Xeroth eyed Wolf back, taking the saiyan in as he floated in the air before him. "You seem to have at least some power unlike most of the beings on this planet, since you so kindly flittered up before me perhaps I'll roast you and then we'll see if the rest of you are more compliant." Taking a deep breath, a warm, orange glow built up in the dragonoid's chest, traveled up his neck and then a raging fire blast bellowed out of his opened mouth straight towards Wolf.

Glacier vaulted onto her feet and looked back up toward the lab, "Something isn't right." She sensed something and then she saw a red glow from on top of the lab. Instantly reacting she rocketed into the air to get a better look at what was happening and saw what was going on. She took in the situation coolly but decided not to act quite yet until she had a sure grasp of the situation.

[Stryder]

Wolf eyed the dragon closely as he began to speak, he wasn't at all fazed by his crude display, the way his joints began to crack. "Try it..." He said darkly, a tinge of hate trailing in his voice, his fists tightening as the dragon cracked his knuckles. This mongrel being didn't scare him remotely, there was no manner of being that would make him back down and this sure was not one of them, he'd make him feel pain if it was the last thing he did. "I doubt it.." He said in a challenging manner, his eyes narrowing as he watched the dragon further. The words of the dragon didn't even flatter him, they were just annoying like thorns at his side, he knew of his power, he didn't need his admiration, he just needed to see the look on his face when he realized this was a losing fight.

"What?!" He spoke in slight surprise to the dragon's words, as he directed his eyes back to the dragon, he saw the blast head toward him. He held out his hands, they were charged with ki, the contact he made with the sphere pushed him slightly but it didn't knock him down, with somewhat an effort he bat the attack away and out of sight, the distant rumble of the explosion being felt from a farther distance. "I will give you one chance, leave before I wring your neck before your pitiful master.." He said.

[NacNak]

Maximus knew what Glacier was reacting to, he had picked up movement on his scanners a few miles out, but he didn't think it would be a serous threat, that is until he picked up Wolf engaging the being when it reappeared on his scanners, just seconds after Glacier had got up Maximus calmly got to his feet and turned to face the lab, as he seen the red glow over it as Glacier had took to the air, he slowly hovered into the air and joined Glacier, when he seen the being he tilted his head as he scanned it
"my scans indicate this being is a demon, reptilian in origin" he droned as he looked to Glacier
"it would seem Wolf has taken the situation into his hands, if he was fully healed, I have doubt he'd need help for this, but in his current state it may prove to be a difficult fight" Maximus said as he looked back to Wolf while he deflected a fire blast
"then again, the Saiyan's will might make up for his injury's" he stated as the fireball flew off into the distance before exploding, that was when he received a message from Alice, telling him what happened, making up his mind on the current situation, whoever this being was had started the fight, and Wolf was defending them
"Interesting..." Maximus droned quietly to himself as he watched the fight
.
Amber rolled over on the medical bed, she had just gotten back to sleep, then a loud explosion shook the room and her eye's shot open as a window cracked
"For crying out loud! what does a Phoenix have to do to get some rest!" she exclaimed as she threw herself off the bed and made her way to the nearest exit to investigate what was going on outside
