Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

The Finale: Part 1

Kami, Reijin, Bra, Raditzu, Koola, Yamu, Bardock, Android 17

The spot of the finale was the place that had seen the least action: the abandoned farm towards the east of the island. The voice on the intercom instructed all living warriors to that location, as that would be where everyone would make their final stand. One last big fight in the Abyss.

Seven would die. One person was going to come out of this alive. One person.

"I'm feeling a little exposed out here," Bra admitted. They were heading down a dirt path into the entrance of the home that stood at the head of the farm. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Once we get in that house, we'll be okay," Reijin promised.

In truth, Rei had no idea if someone had made it into the house already. It was pitch black as Day Six had just begun moments ago. For all he knew, the other six people were already dead and it was just him and Bra left. That idea made him glance at the saiyan and grip his weapon, just in case.

They headed up the stairs and onto the patio, then into the home.

Where all Hell broke loose.

"Split!" Reijin demanded. Inside, a ki machine gunner was waiting at the foot of the stairs, blowing apart the doors. Both of the saiyans moved sideways. Bra took the right, cursing as she knelt down and held her gun with her good hand.

The princess looked up to the left to see her friend crouching on the other side of the door. But the sight was worse: he was holding a bloody stomach. "Shit!" She hissed at him. "You're shot!"

"Keep your eye in there!" He demanded.

"But..."

"Bra! Focus!" Reijin could see a light shadow thanks to the moonlight coming into the door. "He's coming!" The saiyan lept out, holding his gun as he swung for the man's face.

Kami the elder namekian leaned back to avoid getting punched. The acid squirted from his gun onto his wrinkled face, causing him to howl as he backed up. "Arg!" He grunted, "Damn!"

Reijin aimed his squirt gun again, ready to finish the namekian off when he heard a shout. "Rei! Look out!"

Bra's scream went on deaf ears. Two shots of a ki pistol blasted into his already injured torso. The shots blasted out of his chest, causing him to pause. He looked over in surprise at Bra, who's eyes were wide as she glanced from him to the attacker.

An elder, familar saiyan. Bardock. She stares at him as Reijin's body thudded

Before she could react, the sounds of the machine gun blasting came up again. Kami had opened fire, but his eyes were still stung by the acid and thus useless. Bardock lept off the patio and onto the sidewalk below. Bra meant to chase her, but she couldn't go without the machine gun fire hitting her.

Kami stumbled out of the house, finally exposed. He was blind as a bat, so much he tripped over Reijin's corpse, but caught him footing. Finally, a little blue came into a view.

A teenage saiyan with a shotgun.

It flashed, and that was the end.

Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

The Finale: Part 2

Bra, Raditzu, Koola, Yamu, Bardock, Android 17

Usually, it was pitch black out in the corn fields around this time. But Raditzu's super saiyan light was more then enough to make it clearly obvious where he was, which was exactly what he wanted.

Coincidentally, the first person to notice was the one person who wanted to find him. "That your saiyan?" Yamu asked his companion as they walked towards the long-haired man.

Koola shook his head. "No. He your's?"

"Yea."

The changling nodded. Though he loathed saiyans, he knew that Yamu had a debt to settle with the super saiyan and thus wasn't planning on interfering. Rad had noticed them by now, but he was confident Yamu could handle him. But he kept his gun close anyway.

Without warning, Raditzu lept forward. Yamu was caught off guard and took a kick right into his jaw, cracking it. The saiyan lept off the human and towards the changling, using his staff to knock Koola backwards. Though he was utterly beaten, Rad still moved like a champion.

Yamu came up behind him, Kaioken charging up, only to get three hits of the staff in return. Koola tried as well, but Rad had both sides covered with his long staff.

Finally, Rad spun to avoid Koola machine gun blast, using his staff to knock the gun sideways. With Koola open, he held his hand out and fired a blast. Just as the blast erupted, Rad's hair exploded with a louder gold and sparks flew with the ki.

Koola grunted it passed through his torso. He held his gut, looking up in pain. His teeth grinded. "Filthy saiyan," he stuttered. He then lept forward. Though he was knocked sideways, he provided the distraction Yamu needed to tackle Rad.

Meanwhile, Bardock's run towards the battlegrounds ended abruptly when Android Seventeen lept in front of him, holding his ki sword. Bardock fired his pistol on instinct, but the android deflected it. "I've got you now, Buu."

"Huh?" Bardock backed up, preparing to fight.

The cyborg let out a roar as his power exploded, leaping forward. "This is for Paige!"

Like a button being pushed, Bardock's super saiyan exploded in front of Android Seventeen, but it didn't stop his assault. The android smashed his fist against Bardock's chin, sending him sideways. The saiyan rolled onto his feet. Even with his shimmering gold aura, he was nothing compared to this.

"Ha!" Seventeen shouted, slashing a cut in Bardock's shoulder. The saiyan finally got an upper hand when he spun around, avoiding being impaled and used his flamethrower to blow into the Android's back.

Seventeen swung backwards, knocking Bardock a dozen yards onto his ass. He rolled up, immediately going for his secret weapon. With a thought in mind, he pushed the button his original weapon and slung it to Seventeen. "Here!"

The android halted and looked at the weapon. It had a cute pose with it's cuddly arms pointed out, saying 'I will always love you.' Seventeen smiled meakly. "It reminds me of Paige..."

Bardock's eyes widened as it exploded, torching everything near it.








































































#12 Koola DEAD
#23 Android 17 DEAD

04 Remain


Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

The Finale: Part 3

Bra, Raditzu, Yamu, Bardock

The wreckage that the Teddy Bear Bomb had caused went all the way out into the dirt road. Bardock stumbled out, beaten and bloody after barely surviving the explosion of his weapon.

That was when he saw the young saiyan girl, hungry for revenge and ready to take it.

Thus far, he had been in control of the situations he was in. He had little injuries and execllent weapons. But now, Bardock was helpless for the first time in a long time. His super saiyan powers had drained in the explosion.

Bra raised up the shotgun with only usable arm. He grimaced and channeled some ki, refusing to go down like a punk. Somehow, he managed to get his hair to light up gold again.

The shotgun exploded, but Bardock's amplified powers, even whilst injured, let him leap around the bullet. Bra could see the fist coming at her, almost at a completely invisible speed. However, she lept up, dodging it. When she hit the ground, she was a super saiyan, just like him.

Again, the shotgun exploded. Bardock grimaced as the bullet blew into his shoulder. He gripped his pistol in his belt, pulling it out as he began to move sideways.

Both fired again. It was a matter of who could hit first.














































#10 Bra DEAD

03 Remain


Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

The Finale: Part 4

Raditzu, Yamu, Bardock

The power that exploded from Super Saiyan 2 Raditzu was just unimaginable. Yamu had a pretty vicious power behind him, but even with all of his injuries, Raditzu was just unstoppable.

Yamu would throw a fist only to miss.

Yamu would dodge only to get hit.

But he couldn't give up. The massive human grunted as he stumbed sideways, holding his jaw and looking up at his opponent. "Come on!" He shouted. "I'm not done yet!"

Rad swung his staff, smacking Yamu across the jaw. Then he thwapped him accross the spine, cracking it. The human fell into the grass, grunting. Still, he got up.

"That all?" Yamu asked, standing again.

The saiyan kept a straight face. "You're persistant. I think it's a good time to end this, though."

The human just laughed at the massive power in front of him. "You're good, Rad," Yamu laughed again. "You know, this whole time I was picturing you as this great evil. But you're just like me, arn't you? You just wanna win."

Raditzu raised his staff up high. "You got it. There's no good or evil in this game. We're all murderers." Tensing, the saiyan prepared to bring it down.

That was when a huge shotgun blast erupted from behind the battle. Rad's chest opened up as the shell blew through. His eyes remained the same, but his mouth was open in surprise. Then he grinned.

Yamu rolled sideways as the body hit the ground.

A champion dethroned.






















































#02 Raditzu DEAD

02 Remain


Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

The Finale: Part 5

Yamu, Bardock

Yamu stood up with a surprised look as Rad's body remained motionless on the ground. After all of the bloodshed, the champion himself was finally dead. And he was face to face with the real killer.

Bardock, the father of Raditzu, stood in front of Yamu, holding Bra's shotgun. Bardock was the real killer of Rad. Yamu's gun was off to the side, but within reach if he could dodge one shot.

"One last announcements, my warriors!" Came a voice on the megaphone. Both never stopped looking at each other. "As you two have no doubt noticed, you are the only two left! #09 Bardock and #26 Yamu."

Two completely different warriors who walked two very different paths. One the path of friendship, and on the path of hunting.

"Good luck! Go!"

As if on cue, Yamu lept sideways. Bardock's shotgun exploded, but missed, giving Yam a chance to roll and grab his gun. With a pump and a shot, Bardock spun and dodged it.

There they stood. Bardock standing as a super saiyan. Yamu kneeling on one knee with Kaioken. Both aiming at each other with deadly guns. No words were needed.

Bardock had hunted for blood. Yamu had fought for his friends. They had gotten this far. No one was going to leave a loser. But only one would leave alive.

The shots fired again. Yamu rolled sideways again as he returned the fire. Bardock's gun missed it's target, but his hip blasted away in a churray of bone. He lost his weight, falling onto his knee. Another pause.

Bardock the saiyan had fallen in battle. Again. Yamu stood, pumping his shotgun. He seemingly won, but it wasn't solid yet. It wasn't over.

The super saiyan looked up. His face was a bloody mess. With body was a charred figure. And yet here he was, proud saiyan to the end. A model warrior like no other.

It was then that the sparks appeared around his body. Yamu fired the shotgun.

Bardock lept upwards over the bullets, landing as it passed under him. Yamu's crimson aura clashed with the golden saiyan eneregy flow. Bardock headbutted the human backwards, causing him to land on the ground and roll slightly.

It was Yamu's turn to look up. Bardock's hair had grown slightly longer and spiked even more-so then usual. The lightning in his aura crackled. He was a true saiyan. One of the few chosen to become better then rest.

"Good game," Yamu said.

The shotgun blast from the ascended super saiyan erupted one last time in the Abyss.









































































#26 Yamu DEAD

01 Remain


Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Burter - 06-12-2007

Epilogue

Bardock

It was like a magic 'heal me' switch that someone pushed at random. The second the battered corpse hit the ground, Bardock's super saiyan body crunched back into place. It wasn't a particularly nice feeling, as the "Ow," could attest, but at least he was in one peice again.

The farming land was littered with corpses, but he stood among them all. The tall saiyan had passed all limitations his body had ever put on him.

He had started as the Hunter, and now he was the Warrior again. The proud warrior he once could call himself.

"Congratulations to #09 Bardock!" Came the annoying, flirty voice from the megaphone. "You have twenty minutes to relax on the island, then we'll bring you in for an exclusive post-game interview and give you your prize money!"

"Whatever," the man said. None of that interested him, but he knew those papers he signed at the start obligated him to follow along.

The real prize was pulsing through him. This beautiful, deadly power was now his.

His saiyan blood. His saiyan power. His saiyan pride.

"Come get some," he whispered one more time.











































































#09 Bardock WINNER

00 Remain

Bardock = SSJ2

Please do your post-game interview within 24 hours


Dante's Abyss 2007 Finale - Bardock - 06-13-2007

On. Off. On. Off. On. Off.

Bardock flexed his fingers, once more playing with his super saiyan power, invoking and extinguishing its mightiness. Only this time, it was different. The golden ki was caressed by bolts of electricity. He?d seen it used before, but he?d never felt it. It was the greatest high in his entire life. So much power. So much energy. It was a bigger rush than he could ever hope for.

One by one, he saw the bodies of those he had killed in his mind, absent-mindedly regarding their presence.

On. Off. On. Off. On. Off.

Almost single-handedly he had dispatched them all, at the expense of several body parts, which were fortunately back in their place. His weapons lay scattered at his feet. They had served him well.

Twenty minutes had almost gone by, and he sat unmoving, still drunk with the power he had acquired.

On. Off. On. Off. On. Off.

?What the hell? Come on, man! I can?t believe this!? a familiar guard ranted, slamming his fist into a wall.

?You?re just pissed because you didn?t bet on him,? an equally familiar scientist laughed. ?I thought you said you?d pick better this year??

?I did,? the sentry clamored. ?He was a fan favorite in the beginning, but nobody actually thought he would win.?

?You know,? the scientist chuckled, playing with a portable television. ?I think he lost last year because you bet on him, but he won this year because you didn?t. I think it?s all you. Besides, he totally decimated in the finale.?

?He?s still a dick?? the guard grunted.

?Shhshhhshhh!? the scientist hushed, turning the volume up. ?The interview?s on!?


------


?Bardock!? ?Hey Mr. Bardock!? ?Yo, Bardock!? ?Hey, Bardock, over here!?

A chorus of cries erupted as the newly crowned champion entered the room accompanied by the flamboyant Karl Jak. Camera flashes sounded off in record numbers, every fan and reporter wanting to get the best angle of the fighter. Screaming fans reached out, hoping to touch him as he walked past. Someone shoved a fierce-looking picture of Bardock in his face lettered ?Come Get Some!?. He had been diligently (and to a point almost threateningly) reminded of his required duties as the new King of the Abyss.

?Your autograph,? Karl sounded through a smile. ?They want your autograph.?

?My what?? Bardock asked, both eyes squinting from the flash bulbs.

?The picture! Sign the picture!?

Disinterested, the fighter grabbed a pen and scribbled a line across the photograph. Karl was not pleased.

Once he reached the center of the platform, an interviewer and her cameraman began to hound him.

?So, Bardock, tell us about the man behind the muscles,? the lady gushed as she shoved a microphone under his nose.

?I am a saiya-jin fighter, a son of Vegeta-sei,? he answered proudly. It didn?t seem to be quite what the interviewer was looking for, but she managed to hide her irritation with a flawless smile.

?And what do you fight for? A friend? A family member? A love interest?? she fished.

?I fight for myself, for the pride of being a warrior.?

?Pride? Well, you must have been pretty proud eliminating all of your competition. Do you think they?ll hold a personal grudge because you killed them??

Bardock shook his head, completely serious. ?Not one of them could say they wouldn?t have done the same.?

?Even your own sons?? she asked. She probably had been waiting to spring that one on him. A large monitored flashed on and showed clips of Kakarot being torched with his own weapon, and Raditzu being blown open from the back. ?What kind of father do you think that makes you??

?It?s the price you pay to play the game. They?ll survive.?

Everyone laughed, as if he?d made a joke.

?Did you think you would win??

?Didn?t everyone?? he quipped.

?You sure did collect a lot of weapons. You were like a little Rambo out there!? the interviewer laughed. He wasn?t giving her much to work from.

?Did he have a knife?!? someone shouted pointedly from the crowd. They were immediately escorted from the premises.

?So??

The interview dragged on and on. Bardock was sure his head would explode, but it fortunately came to an end. He was led away for a few more promotional photos and an autograph signing. By the time all was said and done, the fighter was exhausted.

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Upon contact, Bardock could feel a numbness overtaking his body. A golden ring slowly materialized above his head. Cold realization overtook his previously overwhelmed mind.

?It?s time to go back,? a familiar voice said.

?Yeah,? the champion replied distantly. He stared at his hand, which faded and re-solidified. ?I know.?
