Day Three: Early Morning

[Burter]

Face to Face

Raditzu

Android 17, Super Buu

The long-haired saiyan kept unusually quiet as he led his cyborg partner down one of the roads. They hadn't been used in ages, so the road was quiet errie. The problem was that is was out in the open, so anybody could see the two walking.

Anybody, like Super Buu. The pink puttalin monster had no problem heading over to the duo, sneaking around in some bushes as he moved close.

The two warriors had no real bond, aside from a mutual respect. They both liked the game and knew how to play it, and that was the only thing that kept them together. The only thing. Trust didn't equate. They were simply using each other for the sake of making the game more enjoyable.

"Hey there, Seventeen," came a familar voice. Rad stopped, as did his comrade behind him. "Long time no see."

The two looked over the pink warriors, who's arm had been shot up by the gun he now held at them. "Buu?" Seventeen asked, shocked. "What the...?"

"I remember you," Rad chimed in. "Can we not wave shotguns in my face, please?"

"So, I'm thinkin we should team up," Buu said cheerfully, grinning at his old friend on the other side of Rad. "As in, you and me. Not him."

"Hey, I'm right here!" Rad protested.

Seventeen folded his arms over his chest. "Why should I?"

"Why not?" Buu argued.

"Because Rad's right here, and Rad says no shooting Rad!" Raditzu finally batted the shotgun to the side to keep it away from his face, mainly because he didn't like the barrell being right in his eyesight.

Immediately, Buu reacted by spinning around and using the shotgun as a baseball bat, knocking Rad in the head. The saiyan moved to the side after being hit, sliding to the other side of the road. "Well, I'm gonna deal with him," Buu told Seventeen. "Stay out of my way if you won't help."

"You know," Rad said with a friendly tone. "I don't think I like you very much."

"I'm so hurt." Buu gasped in a mocking tone. He then tensed his fists, shotgun pointed to the side. A pink blast of power erupted from his body as his head-tail grew in size. The spiritual powers inside him came to a full front as he unleashed Spiritken upon his body with a nice, hefty shout.

Raditzu powered up a little quicker. He took a deep breath and then as he exhaled, his super saiyan powers lit up as if he just pressed a button. His hair turned gold, his aura went from white to yellow and his eyes shifted into an icy blue. "I promise I'll try to go easy on you, but the yo-yo has a mind of it's own."

"Yo-yo?"

It was at that time that Raditzu saw it nessecary to fling the yo-yo on his index finger out, smacking Buu right in the eye. "Yo-yo!" And with the pink creature distracted, he lept forward, punching Buu in the cheek and then uppercutting his belly. With him stunned, Rad spun and kicked the man sideways and down.

He would have continued the unslaught, had Android Seventeen not crushed his back with his robotic knee. He would have moved forward, had the rope not caught his neck and begun to strangle him. Super Buu stood to see his friend holding Super Saiyan Raditzu against him, struggling to choke him.

Rad found it nearly impossible to move in Seventeen's grip. The android was clearly much stronger then he was in his first tier form. Realizing this, Rad began to summon more power before finally exploding in another flash of golden light.

Seventeen jumped back, landing on his feet. Rad's hair had a crisper look to it, spiking out more then usual. He turned sideways so he could see both Buu on one side and Seventeen on the other (and also give an awesome view of his hair flapping in the wind from his aura). Seventeen only had a minor aura from his RAGE upgrade, so Raditzu's sparking light around him seemed a bit out of place compared to the equal-in-power android.

"Okay, I've decided," he told them. "I really, really don't like you guys."

Seventeen spoke up. "This isn't a team game," he declared. "We both agreed to stick together as long nessecary. It's not nessecary anymore."

"Oh, I completely see your logic." Rad glanced at the raven-haired android. "I'm still annoyed, and I still don't like you."

Rad suddenly heard the sound of a shotgun pumping. Immediatly turning to the side, he saw Super Buu aiming to get the fight started. "Boo," Buu said. With the exploding sound of a gun firing, he backflipped to avoid the shot, using his hands as a way to launch himself forward off the ground.

"Masenko!" He declared, easily overpowering Buu and firing the ki at him. Supes barely dove sideways before his already destructed shoulder was ripped apart by the blast. He fell backwards, sliding on the ground.

Behind Rad, Seventeen had dove forward. The saiyan spun, anticipating it and caught the punches. Now supercharged, he held the advantange and made sure to use it. With his immense speed, he shot his fist through Seventeen's gut, and out the other side.

"Gotcha," He told him.

Seventeen's eyes were bulged. As the hand went out, he stumbled sideways. "Ouch." He noted before falling to his knees.

Raditzu's inevitable victory was cut short when the sound of a shotgun blasted into his back and of his belly. With guts practically spilling out from his body, he clicked off of SSJ2 and fell forward, stumbling onto his knees. The collar began to tire him out immediately. "Shit," he coughed, holding in his intestines as he crawled towards the end of the road.

Thanks to his lack of 'guts', Seventeen had an easy time keeping his wirings inside. Those that had been cut caused him to hurt bad, so he didn't get to chase Rad. He stumbled up thanks to Buu's help.

An so a friendship was lost, and another one was reformed.

Oh how frail the relationships become when they are thrown into the Abyss.

26 Remain

Rad's been shot in the gut. He had organs spilling out. Major injury

Super's major injury is now insane, because his arm is gone.

17's been punched in and through the gut, and has a similar hole to Rad's. Major injury
