The android's expression had changed. Brim had forced them all to do these horrible things. He had to be destroyed. Seventeen stared at him for awhile; it seemed that he was deep in thought. Yajirobe could tell he didn't know what to do. The human understood him. He even, had doubts that they would pose a threat against the evil producer. But they would just have to wait and see...
Seventeen went to answer Yajirobe?s proposition when a deafening explosion gained his attention. The android spun around to watch his namekian ally plummet from the sky. Piccolo struck the sandy floor of the arena with a silent thud, triggering a terrified yell to escape the machine-hybrid?s throat. The cybernetic warrior started to dash over to his fallen friend but arrived in enough time to watch the namekian breathe his final breath. The laser bars that kept the six gladiators caged suddenly faded away, and the last image Android Seventeen saw before the rest of the power died was a horde of moaning undead begin to pour into the chamber. Blackness eclipsed everything except the wailing of cadavers, and the surprised shouts of the remaining warriors. The machine-hybrid screamed an obscenity and kneeled down, his night-vision quickly activating to supply a more coherent field of vision.
The android immediately noticed the fallen form of Piccolo. Seventeen touched his hand to the namekian?s neck, desperately trying to locate a pulse. When nothing came, grief set in without warning, and the android felt a lone tear escape his eye. Fighting back sobs was the only thing the machine-hybrid could do to keep the knowledge of Piccolo?s murderer from driving him off the edge. Seventeen knew that he had fought off the insanity too hard to succumb to it now. Scanning the arena, the android noticed that several of the surviving competitors had begun their fights against the endless wave of undead cannon fodder. The android was trying desperately to locate his copy, but he couldn?t tell who was who among the mass of bodies.
A few figures had escaped the mayhem and left the building, but Seventeen could not tell which contenders they were. A nearby moan captured the android attention, and the machine-hybrid quickly turned straight into the fist of an undead monstrosity. Android Seventeen growled in anger and lashed out, kicking the zombie?s head off its emaciated neck. The cybernetic warrior regained his vertical composure and threw his hands out, screaming the verbal command to activate his barrier. The sphere of ki shot up with a melodious hum, and the new lighting immediately drew the attention of quite a few mobile cadavers. Moaning and dangling their arms forward, the reanimated corpses, as brainless as they were dead, slammed straight into the shielding. With a brilliant green explosion, all of the undead remotely close to the android were disintegrated.
As the green light faded away, a fresh wave of cadavers assaulted the cybernetic warrior. Android Seventeen fought valiantly to stave the increasing number of zombies attacking him, but soon he was overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. Even as he tumbled backwards, the machine-hybrid formulated a new plan. Grinning wildly, Seventeen started firing off short blasts of ki in all directions. Some of the deadly projectiles found targets, but most of them exploding pointlessly against the ceiling and walls of the structure. Android Seventeen hit the sand, and his assailants began attempting to devour him alive! Yet, the constant flow of ki blasts was quickly reducing the number of zombies attacking the android. Within moments, the cybernetic warrior found himself snapping the neck of his final attacker. Shoving the corpse away from him, Android Seventeen made it back to his feet once again. The sand around the machine-hybrid was whipped around violently as the energy around the android accumulated. Seventeen exploded of the ground and up towards the ceiling. Unleashing a massive blast of ki, the android escaped as the roof broke away around him.
Android Seventeen escaped into the night air and landed quickly next to the intimidating Friend or Foe Production Building. Sounds of combat and cries of the undead were still audible, but that was all behind the android. Breathing heavily, the machine-hybrid swung a fist against the wall of the building. A large series of cracks and crags extended outward, but still the android felt no relief. Piccolo was still dead, and Brim was still alive. Seventeen didn?t even care that another warrior had slain his friend because he knew they were all under Brim?s evil influence. This game was driving some of its competitors to the most disastrous of extremes. Android Seventeen thought back to when Piccolo and he killed Daimaou. The next thought was the warrior who had committed suicide back in the dome. Although Seventeen did not know the exact reasoning behind the veined humanoid?s actions, he was confident something in the game had driven him to such an extreme.
The thought of ending his own life to escape the horrors of Friend or Foe II was nothing new to android; however, with Piccolo dead, Seventeen knew he had to fight on. Brim had inadvertently robbed the machine-hybrid of one of his best friends. That deformed, legless abomination was going to suffer for the havoc his idiotic game had created. Seventeen stumbled forward; he was still weak from his fight with Yajirobe. A sparkling noise?one the android hadn?t heard in a long time?came from behind the cybernetic warrior. Android Seventeen turned around to see his female friend Paige. The fiery redhead was dressed in her usual white robe, but her presence was still a sight for sore eyes.
?Paige,? Seventeen said through a smile, ?I failed Leo and you, Piccolo is dead, my evil nearly consumed me, I?m sorry. Piccolo and Daimaou are dead, I fear Byrk has won,? Paige stepped forward, putting a finger over the android?s lips to silence him. She cooed softly and shook her head as Seventeen fought to stay conscious.
?Byrk?s plan backfired. Instead of unleashing an army of demons upon Earth, he was sucked into Demon World himself. There is no way he can escape, not yet at least,? the beautiful words had a soothing effect on the weary android, ?Piccolo has been sent to Snake Way to journey on to King Kai?s. Leo told me to tell you all of this so don?t worry, just stay alive,? Seventeen quickly found himself lost in the crystalline pools of blue that were Paige?s eyes.
?How do you know all these things?? Android Seventeen asked. Paige smiled as her other hand glowed yellow and bathed the cybernetic warrior in its healing light.
?Let?s just say me and Leo go way back, he taught me all I know about being an angel,? the revelation didn?t strike the android as surprising at all. Ever since he first met the woman he had sensed something extraordinary about her. Paige lowered her hands and leaned forward, her lips meeting the machine-hybrids. Android Seventeen?s eyes went wide with astonishment, but then Paige simply broke the kiss and whispered the advice in his ear, ?we will be watching you, don?t try to do everything yourself,? the goddess of a woman exited in her similar fashion?her cloud of orbs floating back to the heavens.
A giant crash brought down the wall of the Production Building a few yards down from the cybernetic warrior. Seventeen snapped out of his dreamy state and stared at carnage. A body had been thrown clean through the wall, the fighter rolled painfully over the dirt for a few feet before coming to rest. Android Seventeen watched the monster exit the massive hole it had created. The beast seemed to be the combination of several zombies?stitches and medical staples were visible all over its mutilated body. Roaring loudly, the abomination started slowly walking towards its prey. Seventeen?s attention moved to the figure that was to be the monster?s food. It was Yajirobe! The samurai was about to be the victim of some kind of monster. Android Seventeen lunged forward, leaping into the air and delivering a massive kick the abomination?s head. Screaming loudly and inhumanly, the creature landed yards away. Seventeen rushed over to help the fallen earthling up. Yajirobe was surprised by the sudden kindness from the warrior he had just been fighting to the death.
?Listen, I know we were both trying to kill one another,? the android said, ?but for now, we need to see the bigger picture like you said, Brim needs to fall, but first we need to deal with this [i]thing[i]!? Yajirobe smiled. The two newly-allied warriors turned to face their foe. The monstrosity was glaring at them with white, cataract eyes. Drool was dripping slowly from the monster?s mouth?a mouth filled with dozens of jagged, yellowed teeth.
?Let?s do this!? Yajirobe screamed as the two warriors charged their opponent.
OOC: the mutant is just a random creature, not to be mistaken with whatever the Vegeta family is fighting.
