Dante's Abyss Finale 2008

[Burter]

Finale: Part 2

Aero, Android 18, Bardock, Kirano, Reijin

Reijin was waiting on the steps when Aero ran up to the entrance of the temple. He paused as he saw the saiyan standing there, holding his pitchfork and his gun in both hands. Even as badass as he looked, he couldn't hide the fact he had blood all over his bruised and beaten body. Aero gripped the only weapon he had left: his binoculars.

"You again," Reijin declared. "So you made it this far."

Aero was already transforming. His body began to thin down slightly, the blue hair being topped with blue whispers on his face and a pointier nose. Claws formed around the binocular straps while he crouched down in the middle of a green aura.

"But you've hit a roadblock!" Reijin shouted, letting out his saiyan lust for battle. His hair spiked high in the air as he transformed into the first level of super saiyan. Gold topped his beaten figure as muscles grew into the arm that raised up the gun. "This is as far as you go in the game!"

A blast came from a gun, but it wasn't Reijin's. Kirano was seen from the path leading up to the stairs, holding his shotgun. The saiyan hadn't been effected by the shot aimed at him, but he still paused, tense as a reaction.

Aero looked back, surprised. He had been ready to die there. "You came back."

Kirano grunted. He didn't want to publicly admit that he had in fact been worried about how his partner was doing. He walked up to his wounded friend, handing over the shotgun and keeping his pistol. "Don't mention. Really. Don't. Ever."

Reijin suddenly let out a roar as his eyes began to flare up, showing the saiyan emotion of rage. He had gone too far in this game to suddenly give up. He was going to go balls to the walls, guns blazing. He lept forward down the stairs, ignoring the brutal pain his legs were putting him in. Sparks began to fly as he went higher and higher into the second level of his super saiyan state.

"Hey," Aero said, "I know you don't care about me, Kirano. I'm not stupid. But thanks for being here anyway."

Kirano smirked and held up his pistol, gripping it with both hands. "We're in this to the end. Now shut up and shoot!"

Reijin was like a feral cat, growling in mid-jump as both legs hit the men. He spun around in mid-air, kicking Kirano to the side and then stabbing Aero right in the stomach with his pitchfork. As Kirano hit the ground, Aero clawed his hands into the arm of Reijin, tearing into his skin.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

Aero's eyes were bulging as Reijin released the pitchfork from inside him. He hit the ground off of the path. Reijin looked up to find his rival in the Abyss, the former champion of Dante's Abyss. Former, because this year, Reijin thought, would be his. "Do you really want to start this now?" Reijin asked. "Are you ready to face me for real?"

Bardock's golden aura was shining just as bright and sparking just as fierce as Reijin's. Unlike his rival, however, he was remaining calm under the pressure. "Come get some."

Just as Reijin was about to answer, he felt a twinge at his side. He gripped the bullet-wound on his thigh, feeling the blood oozing out. Then he looked down at Kirano, who was up against a tree, aiming his pistol with both hands.

Reijin raised up his machine gun with his opposite hand and pulled the trigger. He held it down for five seconds, spraying Kirano's torso with ki energy and lead, blasting him until his eyes were bright white.

Kirano refused to sit down and pretend he was lesser then anyone else. He had earned Reijin's attention, and paid for it. But now, Reijin had bigger fish to fry. He looked up at Bardock, who remained fully charged up the stairs.

Reijin lept up the steps, limping as he ran but still running regardless. This was it. Pitchfork vs Axe. Nail Gun vs Machine Gun. Super Saiyan vs Super Saiyan.

Then Reijin saw it. Out of the corner of his head, a beautiful blonde head on the balcony of the temple, hidden behind a long, metallic gun. He tried to duck in mid-run, but it was too late. The bullet hit his neck, blasting out of the other side. He stumbled forward, and then paused. Bardock was already in a defensive stance, but he could no longer hear what Bardock was shouting.

Everything went in slow motion. He could see Aero limping past him up the stairs. He could see Bardock running backwards into the temple. He could see Android Eighteen throwing her gun down. Then he lost his balance, falling back onto the stairs.

The saiyan's corpse rolled down the stairs, until it landed with a hard, sickening thud on the dirty ground below.

Then it began to rain.
