Dragonball Xenoverse - Side Story

Within a split second of Izaroth's train of thought coming to a halt, the Frieza-raceman had vanished and reappeared directly in front of him, as opposed to speeding around behind him - he was going to win, he didn't care if he took a hit or two along the way, he just needed to see exactly what the margin between Elite and Rookie was at this stage. This young warrior could be stronger than he looked, but Glacia's doubt of the girl's power being anything significant was solid. If she was really immersed in the battle, she would've lasted longer...

Glacia's only attack was thrusting a powerful knee at the human's ribs, his icy gaze following his opponents.

-----

Contrary to Glacia's belief, a good fifty meters away from the continued battle a shaking Blaze brought herself back up. Too wobbly to stand, she watched as the ugly alien started his fight with Izaroth personally.

'Oh crap, I'm tearing up.. But that really hurt..! S-So it's fine.. Right?' she thought, rubbing her sleeve against her eyes and trying to stand. How she managed to get up so fast intrigued the small number of spectators outside the shield. Either she was more ready for the attack than Glacia thought, or she was 'made' to take a hit...

"HALT! Don't fucking move!" a voice boomed from down the tunnel, followed by a bright light like a sun suddenly appearing before the three. It was a damned searchlight! In a tunnel! Why not just shoot the three survivors in the eyes, it'd be more merciful... The tone of the man who'd yelled at them was one of worry, almost. There were no gunshots, just that ridiculous light blotting out whoever and whatever was behind it.

"They're humans, you jackass! Turn that thing off!" an older man barked. "You've been waiting for an excuse to use that thing ever since they set it up!" The light was turned off quite sharpish after that, dimming the tunnel considerably again.

Raisa had been cursing the whole time the light blinded her, and that continued as she knelt down to rub her stinging eyes, the Major's volume overpowering the angry young woman. "Are we welcome or not?!"

The older man on the guard post shifted the barbed wire aside and waved the three through, "Sorry about the temporary blindness, a rare mutant attack happened about two hours ago. The kid here is freaking out."

The Major cursed and started on his way through the guard post. When Raisa recovered she'd follow along too. 'Mutant attacks...?' Had the horde from Kuzminki really come this far into the metro in such short a time? Something must have baited them if that was the case. It could be assumed the bandit station between Volgogradsky Prospekt and Kuzminki was currently in a state much like a slaughterhouse by now.

"Both of you be ready to move at a moments notice. Just a safety precaution. The experience in Kuzminki was too close, wasn't it, Sokov?" The Major chuckled as the sound of a guitar became clearer ahead, and the smells of warm metro food cooking filled the air. Perhaps this place wouldn't be so bad to take a rest at.

Raisa nodded at the old man's dark humour, though remained silent as they moved closer and closer to the safety of the station. She had a bad feeling, but what from, she couldn't tell herself.

Glacia had apparently no time to get himself out of the ki blasts, and thanks to him being smashed into the first one, there looked to be little chance he could continue fighting! Surely that attack could bring down even this monster, no? The dust began to settle, revealing Glacia very much intact and unfazed after the barrage - had he even blinked since the battle started...?

"I must say.. if you're going to keep using teamwork like that, you may survive yet. But the lesson is this...!" Glacia interrupted himself and suddenly darted off to Blaze as she let her guard down, believing their success to have been positive, and that it worked toward not having to carry on. Glacia however made it clear: this wasn't about how well they could work together, he was testing each of them. Wasting no time, a fist like diamond was sunk into Blaze's gut, making her pass out instantly. Glacia made no attempt to catch her, and let the limp form plummet to the ground.

"Without the child interfering, I can see what you're made of, Izaroth." Glacia stated, remaining in place as the human runt continued to fall.

"Trunks wouldn't let someone kill us... At least, I hope not!" Blaze said. Earlier, Glacia had made a simple, fast tilt of his head to avoid being punched before breaking contact with the two. Now he stood about thirty meters away, staring them both down.

Tougher than he looks... And she's faster than I thought she would be. But that won't save them in a real battle. Where is this 'teamwork' they should be displaying?

"Fight me seriously now. Stop giving me such a defeatist look," Glacia raised his voice. As he lifted his finger, ki could be felt radiating more powerfully from him once again. A single large beam launched towards Izaroth & Blaze, its intention to take them both out in the one blast.

"Flank n' shoot him!" Blaze suddenly manned.. uh.. woman'd up(?) and commanded, flying left and charging up the most powerful attack she could. Once in position, she tossed a bright yellow spherical ki blast at Glacia, surprising for someone so lacking in training and skill.

"But I'm the least of his worries!" Blaze exclaimed as a pulse was felt through the air. Glacia had recovered and made a shockwave he'd flown so quickly. The red aura of power approached at a ridiculous pace, but it was good - he wasn't even bothering to zig or zag, or fly up or down... Noting that,

"Eat this!" Blaze yelled, firing a two-handed blast attack at the incoming enemy. It was a stream, not a projectile, so it could hurt him more if he went head-on into it. But... He did in fact fly straight into the ki stream, and he flew unscathed through it until he emerged on the other end, a fist raised and ready to strike at the caster as her focus vanished. It was impossible to even think about a victory here!

Glacia threw the punch, and all Blaze could do was shut her eyes tight and wait for the pain.

Without another word, the Frieza clansman had vanished and appeared hovering behind Blaze, swiping a heavy kick at her side. She hadn't had time to learn that technique Izzy was going to teach her, but she'd had the time to pull herself together and quickly rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding a blow that could have easily smashed her ribs. This left Glacia flying behind Izaroth, that same leg was pulled back in aimed at Izaroth to try the same swing attack against the 'human' as the alien kept his momentum.

Blaze came out of the escape roll standing and prepared to blast Glacia, but given how quickly he was moving, the shot could quite easily end up hitting Izzy. She couldn't, and wouldn't, risk it.

Doesn't matter how hard he hits, that's too fast for me anyway!

In order to gain some range, Blaze flew backwards and let her partner handle this himself, at least until she had an opening. But was it really safe to stray away from him? She was running on instinct, ...and yet again, her heart started to race. Just like in the test with Trunks, some part of her was enjoying this feeling!

"Spent a lot of time in dark, abandoned tunnels. When I was a kid it was a favourite pastime actually. Playing, exploring, scavenging. But looking back on that, a younger Raisa Sokov was a fuckin' idiot. I only found out our station faced a heavy mutant threat when I was thirteen. Didn't venture so far on my own after that..." Raisa chattered as the three walked on. At this point she was using trigger discipline, using her weapon primarily as a flashlight. Faint echoes came from the northern tunnel as the group found the main line. Just like the Major taught her - check the corners, make sure the tunnel is clear both ways, only then do you continue on. So, after doing that, she headed north, to Volgogradsky Prospekt.

The Major was quiet, walking behind Valery and not taking his eyes away from the boy. His finger traced close to the SVD's trigger, but the rifle wasn't raised. Kid was his enemy, and letting him go would be a capital offence, but... He couldn't. Raisa would question his actions, and likely begin to fear for her own life too. Right here, he could waste the kid, ensure a fresh machine gun doesn't reach the Reds whilst robbing them of a talented young man.

...He couldn't just shoot him in the back. He wasn't even a soldier. Sighing, the aging officer stepped up closer to Valery, walking with him as opposed to breathing down his neck. Besides, he'd only be around until he found other Reds, right? The Major would be patient.

"I guess that makes sense. You exercise, and hurt because you're actually pushing yourself. Probably works the same way with pain threshold! But I'm really not looking forward to whatever pain we're putting me through." Blaze said nonchalantly as they stepped through the liquid-textured gate. Instead of appearing in Toki Toki City, they had been instantly moved to the 'training island'. As they arrived, a barrier formed in a dome shape over the island. There was one particular thing that could be sensed without fail in here: someone's ki, and a lot of ki at that.

The figure was Frieza-clan, he was tall and had a white body with crystalline blue 'orbs' on his joint areas, like all of them possessed when transformed. His eyes were a beady, menacing red. He could take them both in Form 1 quite easily, but it didn't matter seeing as he could just tone down power output. Limiting his power for the moment, Glacia raised a finger and spoke as the two entered.

"Blaze Tsila, Izaroth Aestorm, just how powerful do you think you have to be to survive in this line of work? How many would-be Time Patrol members do you think don't return from mission one, because they overestimate themselves? Izaroth - you're smart I take it, you know the score here. The girl however doesn't know anything about fighting - she's weak, but prideful. She'll drag you down, if you aren't already outmatched in the first place by your enemies."

Blaze found herself hiding behind Izzy as soon as the weird alien freak started to speak. He sounded so cold and calculating! Forget the fact that he seemed hostile, he was toning his high power level down, and that could only mean one thing, right?!

"Izzy.. Do you think we should.. step back through the-"

Blaze's sheepish voice was interrupted by the sound of an explosion behind them, three blasts impacting with the gates structure and causing it to fail and crumble, leaving only the barrier in it's place. It was instantaneous. This man was dangerous.

"N-Never mind! Back ain't an option anymore!" Blaze laughed nervously.

Dragonborn being dead means so is the plot...
But! That's a much better idea, Roze. What if we just say the Dragonborn settled down, quit all the 'jobs' that came their way throughout the story. So there's new guild leaders, college arch-mage, thanes and all that, but the Dragonborn is still 'related' to those factions as they've worked with them a long time.

As for the Dragonborn's obvious overpower... They're not impossible to kill, and I like to think I'm pretty good at thinking up antagonists. The idea is this extremely skilled and capable person has all the strength and influence to rule Tamriel, so they don't, like.. get shiv'd and keel over like other Emperors that have existed. The power's meant to be their assurance of survival and their way of rightfully claiming the throne.
