Dragonball: Future Prospects

"Wait, what do you mean people willing to take the earth will come? There's going to be an invasion?" Glass stood his ground, glaring at Thirteen as he demanded answers. "You'll get your match, android. just give me some answers."

Behind him, Sodius and Silic were tense, the brothers exchanging a nervous glance. Sodius clenched his fists. 'An invasion? There hasn't been a serious invasion attempt in generations! Are we even close to ready?'

Silic mentally growled. 'If we're not, we'll have to get ready. The invaders won't wait for us.' The pair brooded over the thought, brows knit in concern for Sodius, and rage for Silic.

Glass frowned, thinking over the android's words. "So, there really was something with that armor that influenced you? I'm sure you understand if I'm hesitant to believe that." Nonetheless, the Namekian stepped forward, his sons tensing in anticipation as their father neared the powerful android.

"Just watch yourself, android. Your predecessors; Or should I say successors? They proved themselves to be good people, and lived their lives well." Glass stood there for a moment, glancing back at his sons. "Earth isn't weak, and we have allies. We'll be watching you. Come by the Lookout if you want to fight me, don't involve innocents if all you want is a battle."

Glass stood there and glared at the android, wondering what kind of plot the now sitting Thirteen could be coming up with. 'Silic, Sodius, don't let your guards down.' Stepping back, the pair of brothers stayed in a strong fighting stance as their father stepped forward. Slowly, Glass powered down to try and conserve energy.

"It was five against one, and you don't have an overwhelming amount of power. Of course you lost." Thinking for a moment, the Namekian continued. "What happened to us being your targets? Get up and fight, we'll finish this right now, and then go on with our lives."

Sodius fell to his knees gasping, clutching his injured arm. "Damnit! I have almost nothing left in me!" Clenching his eyes shut, Sodius shuddered in anger at the android who had defeated him so effortlessly.

"Get up, Sodius." Glass helped his son up as Silic flew next to them, watching Thirteen and their allies exchange words. "We still have a job to do, and it won't get done if you just give up. Dig in and find your will to fight!" A brilliant light distracted the trio from their conversation.

"How does she know the Kamehameha!?" Silic gaped at the impressive struggle, brilliant blue lights clashing as sparks flew between the pair. Neither side seemed to give, though it appeared as if Thirteen wasn't wearing out.

Almost immediately, glass began gathering energy. "Quick, target the android!" Lashing out, a beam of yellow energy shot out from his hands. His sons followed suit, a number of blasts aimed at Thirteen being launched in rapid succession.

"Sodius!" Glass rushed after the android, fire in his eyes. A second wind filled him, and although hardly reinvigorated, the strength to continue the battle rose within.

Seeing Thirteen closing in, Sodius stood his ground and prepared a counter attack of his own. One palm in front of the other, a brilliant purple light briefly filled the air, and then blasted outward in a brief explosion. "Demon Wave!" It did little to deter the android, however, who closed in and grabbed the young Namekian. Feeling his energy begin to drain, he began to struggle against Thirteen, and launched a powerful series of right hooks at its face

Glass, finally near, lashed out with a kick at the android's midsection, hoping to give his son an opening for escape.

Catching the thrown Master Sho, Glass stared at the android in bewilderment. Swiftly, the Namekian helped the older human back to a standing position, while his two sons flew near him. "What happened to her? One minute she's a robot, the next she's acting like a human!"

"I think it might have to do with that armor. Once it fell off, she said she was free." Hovering in the air, Silic and the others watched as Master Yi was downed once again. "Her technique may have improved, but she still seems like she wants a fight."

Sodius flared his ki to its maximum, air rushing away from him as he prepared an attack. "Then lets give it to her!" A pair of energy spheres appeared in his hand, and a flurry of ranged attacks followed, each exploding as they approached their target.

"Don't waste your energy, Sodius! That attack isn't effective at this range!" Narrowing his eyes, Glass drew on his dwindling ki. "Silic has the high road, I'll take the low. Make sure she doesn't escape! Go!" Glass and Silic charged in, the younger Namekian flying above his father as the pair launched into a melee barrage through the last of the explosions.

His attack now ended, Sodius landed and used a concentrated blast below, hoping to take the android with an unexpected attack from beneath the earth.

Silic stood back, away from the battle as he watched the battle, trying to predict where his target would move next. As the android would move, the teen would launch a dodon ray, which would usually be dodged or deflected. Growling in frustration, Silic fought the urge to rush into the brawl. 'Damnit father, why am I fighting back here!'

Launching into a combo, Sodius tried to force his opponent back into his father, while also forcing an opening for his brother. Many of the blows missed, and the ones that didn't seemed to affect the droid very little. 'That armor, it's getting in my way!' An attempted sweep of the legs failed, and the Namekian snarled. 'Why can't I land a good hit? Why can't I beat her?'

As he felt the frustration of his sons rise, Glass also felt the gathering energy behind him. 'Back, now!' In unison the three of them jumped back, as the colossal amount of energy surged forward. Turning his head away, Glass hoped the attack would finally end the conflict. 'This is getting out of hand quickly. We need to end this.'

Pulling on his reserves, Glass prepared to charge back into the battle once more.

In the clutches of the android, Glass felt his energy begin to drain away into the android, his fighting showing less impact as he fought. When a blue light flashed, the Namekian panicked as he realized it was the child who had come to save him, but fell back to a more comfortable distance as felt the familiar energies of Masters Sho and Yi interrupt. Landing beside him, his two sons Silic and Sodius arrived.

"Finally. That android has the ability to absorb energy, don't let yourself get caught." Glass' two boys nodded, their expressions serious. A sense of pride welled up inside the elder Namekian, but it was swiftly squashed before it became a distraction. "Silic, you're on distraction. Use energy attacks when there's an opening. Sodius, you're with me."

With that, the two Namekians charged, Glass going left while his son went right. With his energy drained, the elder was at an even bigger disadvantage than before, possessing hardly anymore energy than his son. One thing he did have was experience. Gathering energy in his eyes, a brilliant light flashed as he came face to face with the enemy once again, and began the now familiar exchange of blows.

Glass saw the android quickly recover, before seeing the waves of energy gathering in her hands. Bracing himself for the following attacks, the Namekian took the first one head on, and felt the heat and shock waves run through his body. His clothes tore as he allowed himself to slip back, away from the energy assault, some burns forming on his arms. While not as bad as the punches, he'd definitely be feeling that later.

Hoping to use the ensuing smoke cloud as cover, Glass smothered his energy and rushed around the side, moving at his top speed before trying to engage in hand to hand combat. With the initiative, he hoped to get a flew good blows in before the android responded in kind.

Eyes widening in shock, Glass barely had time to dodge the first blow before finally being best by a flurry of powerful blows. They were easily telegraphed after the first few strikes, following a pattern typical of a female her size, but the speed and strength were enough to bruise his arms as he blocked the blows he could not dodge. 'Have I been slacking in my training, or is the android really this strong?'

The assault didn't seem like it would end, the seamless combo's only weakness being that Glass knew exactly what would happen next a moment before it did. Knocking her hand aside deftly, Glass took the moment of unbalance to raise his hand. "Explosive Demon Wave!" A blast of inky purple shot out of his palm, the aura pushing her back, giving Glass some much needed breathing room.

'This is too much. I can't get an advantage in close combat, her blows are too powerful! She counters me too well!' Setting into a fighting stance, Glass prepared to defend himself. 'I guess I'll just have to wait for back up. Hurry, my sons.'
