Burter

There was forest on either side of the clearing. Thick trees surrounded the beautiful spring field, as if protecting it from the wild. It would be a beautiful battleground for the two groups moving in together. Bardock was leading the way, looking at his GPS tracker. "Everybody stay alert," he announced, "Big group coming up."

Reijin pulled out his projectile weapon. Kami spun his pistol in his hand. Vegeta kept his box folded up by his side. Bra's ki energy fluttered. Captain Jack Sparrow weilded his comb.

"Wait, a comb?" Kami suddenly blurted, looking over from by his friend's side. "Are you gonna fight with a comb?"

"Better then fighting with the rum," Jack reasoned.

"Oh, well...can't argue with that logic."

Behind them, the two newcomers were also preparing with their own weapons. Tapion had both of his grenades out and his shield over his back. Retane cocked his nail gun as he moved with his friend. They had made the right choice in their mind by teaming with these guys. They were itching to kill...and killing is what they'd get to do.

As they came out into the clearing, they saw another group stepping out. Yamu was in front of his friends, bulked up as usual with his trusty baseball bat named Kari. He immediately recognized some faces, namely Bardock and Bra staring at him. Behind him, the loyal Paragus and the determined Jeice stood on either side. Off to the side were the two buddies, Bujin with his machine gun and Celipa with her shotgun. Sitting on it's lazy butt was the Saibaman that Jeice had sprouted.

"Think you can keep up?" Cel smirked to the side at Bujin.

Bujin cocked his machine gun. "You'll be surprised."

On the other side, Jack Sparrow cut the tension by stepping forward in front of his group, hands raised with a comb in one. "Now, now, I think we can all settle this like men, eh?"

Celipa pumped her shotgun.

Jack blinked. "Oh, bugger."

The flash of ki started the battle, erupting from the shotgun and blasting a hole in Captain Sparrow's chest. His blood splashed backwards, covering his allies. Then he fell backwards.

"Everyone scatter!" Reijin suddenly shouted. Bujin and Paragus raised their machine guns again, ready to fire. As they did, the remaining seven fighters on the east side of the clearing spread out.

Rei went right and Vegeta went left, then lept towards the opposing side. As they moved, beautiful gold hair lit up above them, eyes flashing teal as their bodies bulked, super saiyans ready for battle. Yamu grinned as they moved too fast to be hit by the moving ki bullets. "Come and get me!" He shouted, "Come and get ME!"

Yamu took on both Reijin and Vegeta's super saiyan forms in full Kaioken power, bashing them with the baseball bat as they used teamwork to keep him busy.

Meanwhile, Bra's eyes lit up teal just like her male comrades. Celipa stood in front of her, ready to duel with her kaioken in full force. Even without being a super saiyan, Cel could match up to Bra's power...though only barely. Thus, she had no problem using her shotgun.

Close by, Bujin's machine gun was having little luck controlling Kami's movements, as the namekian was simply way too fast. "Over here!" The namek grinned as he flipped over the blue opponent. "Not bad," he complimented when Bujin threw his weight around to crack him in the head. "But not good enough, either," he said just before kicking the blue goblin back into Bardock, who ricocheted him into a tree.

Bujin flew back a 2 on 2 fight between Retane and Tapion against Paragus and Jeice. Para's machine gun managed to knick and slow down Retane as they rummaged around some trees. Tapion was finding his shield extremely useful against Jeice's glass peices. The Saibaman was little help, as Tap quickly dispatched it.

Tapion threw a fist forward, missing Jeice. That was when Jeice smashed a peice of blade into the Konat's gut, cutting inside and upwards to his black heart. Shocked by the sudden intrusion, Tap gasped...then fell.

Retane looked over as he and Para stopped dodging each other's guns. "Tap..." He said in shock as his friend fell. "You...killed...TAPION!" With a loud blast of light that caused the trees to crush backwards, Retane's untapped powers came alive. "You took my friend!" Angry and bewildered, Retane could only think of one thing. Revenge. "I'll take YOUR'S!"

As Retane looked over to the old man, Jeice's eyes bulged. "Para! Watch out!"

It was too late, though. Retane lept up, firing his nail gun as he side flipped in the air, cutting into the elder saiyan's forehead. The namekian landed perfectly, gun up and pointed at Jeice. Then he fired.

The red alien had no time to respond. "Fuck!" Was all he got out just as the nail stabbed into his torso, forcing him backwards. He fell onto his ass over Tapion, blacking out.

When Retane turned around, his head opened up from a collision with Yamu's baseball bat. "That's for them," the overgrown human panted. It didn't last long, as the super saiyan duo came in behind him immediately and tackled him.

Back in the field, Bra hurled Celipa into a tree, which she propped onto with her feet. "Nice try!" The black-haired vixen laughed. She then leaped at the super saiyan.

Bra jumped up and avoided being kicked, landing behind Cel. Celipa spun, shotgun up and raised in front of Bra's face. "I win," she taunted at the super saiyan. "Bye."

"Bye," a hiss came from behind her. Bra's eyes lit up as Celipa tried to figure out who had spoke. Finally, the Kaioken'd superpower turned to see a tall reptile standing in front of her, gripping his longstaff. "Should have fired the gun."

And Burter was right. Bra used the oppurtunity to tear her fist through the back of Celipa and out the other side. She then pulled it back, grimacing at the blood on her arm. Cel fell sideways, shocked.

"Happy birthday," Burter said in the middle of the ki machine gun blasts from Bujin and the random jumping from Kami.

Bra could hardly speak. She wanted to say something witty, but she was just so shocked at who was standing in front of her that she couldn't come up with anything. "It...it was yesterday."

"Late birthday," He corrected.

"Hey!" Bujin shouted from above them as he came down from jumping onto a tree. "This fight isn't over yet!" And with an angry roar from seeing Celipa down, he aimed his machine gun.

Right on time, Bardock smashed Bujin's head with his foot, knocking him into a tree and out cold.

Bardock and Kami both landed on the ground, walking over to Burter. With Yamu battlings the super saiyans, the remaining four on the field was Burter, Bra, Bardock and Kami. "Where..." Bra stuttered, "Where have you...?"

"We'll talk later," Burter promised. "But right now, I have a tournament to win."

Before she could protest, the staff swung around, catching her arm and cracking it the wrong way. With her elbow distorted and her shriek high, he smashed the stick into her jaw and knocked her out. He then looked up at the remaining two, who hadn't reacted at all.

"Think you can take us both on?" Bardock asked, moving in front of Kami.

That was when Kami's fist thudded into Bardock's head. The saiyan suddenly fell forward, unconscience. "Sorry," Kami apologized, "Everyone else was doing it. I felt left out."

"Good to see you again, Kami," Burter grinned broadly. Then his staff swung forward. Even the lightning quick namekian didn't get a chance to dodge before his jaw cracked, and he spun from the strike. "But I need you down there too." And then his staff smacked Kami across the back, shattering the spinal cord of the namekian and causing him to fall forward. "He didn't even try to stop me," Burter mused.

Meanwhile, the poor trees in the forest continued getting abuse. Vegeta and Reijin both landed simultaneously on the ground after kicking Yamu backwards. "Damn," Vegeta panted, "I didn't think a human would be this tough."

"He's good," Rei noted, "I fought him before."

Yamu was still angry over the loss of his friends, but he kept his mind on the task at hand. Nothing could distract him from the fight.

Reijin lept forward and ducked a swing from the baseball bat, then leaping up and kicking the human in the chin. Yamu spun and caught Rei this time with the bat, knocking him sideways. Vegeta lept forward, knocking Yamu with five punches in the chest. Yamu spun around Veg, blocking the elbow, then knocked him with the across the head. Vegeta spun into a tree as Yamu shouted "Ki Shotgun!"

A flash of ki erupted and Vegeta found himself with a hole in his belly. Shocked and in awe, he fell onto his knees, then down.

Reijin moved forward, swinging a punch at Yamu but having it blocked. He then sprayed his acid squirt gun right into Yamu's face, burning into his face. "Ha!" The saiyan taunted.

"Aaaagh!" Yamu growled, smashing forward with his head so Reijin reeled back, face broken up. He then landed on his back with a thud.

The pain in Yam's face was excruciating it. He stumbled back as he saw the clearing to the left of him glow red. Was someone going Kaioken? No, this was much bigger then his own Kaioken aura. He only knew one person who could go beyond normal Kaioken. Just one. Before he could find out who it was, he passed out.

Everyone was knocked out but one person. One reptilian. He could have killed them all and took the spoils. But he had been infected with a belief that his long-haired rival had always emitted. There's no point in taking the easy way if it wasn't any fun.

"This should make things interesting," he decided in the middle of the field. Burter's power exploded with a roar, his body bulking. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" With Super Kaioken shooting out from his body, the bodies of the warriors, dead and alive, blasted out and away, scattered around the area. After a few moments of this, he powered down.

The battle was averted. Not everybody got to kill each other.

Which meant more fun for everybody else.
