Area B: Day Four

[Reijin]

Area B is controlled by Raditzu

"My... Lord? You called for me?"

The footsteps echoed within the chamber of Lord Frost, the Changeling Emporer at the head of Synex Corporation and the harbringer of this Dante's Abyss.

"Yes... The two fighters in the arena... They are still battling, ignorant of the fact that they are but roaches here, both already dead. Therefore... Kill them both. The crowd grows bored of this." Frost barely finished his words before the crowd began to cheer wildly.

The soldier saluted, and acknowledged Frost's command. "Yes, my Lord."

"Wait."

The soldier froze in his tracks. "Yes, my Lord?"

The sound of drumming fingers were heard on the windowsill. "It would seem that the fight has finally come to a conclusion. The Saiyan has won, annihilating the human that he was fighting."

The soldier turned, careful to remain silent. Frost turned, his tall form towering over the soldier. "I wish for two more fighters to be inside that arena by the end of the day. Send the other one away."

Day Four will end on Wednesday, January 26th.

[Android-18]

Android 18 pressed her hand against the shimmering wall of energy. It would not give; it was as if it were a brick wall. She bit down on her bottom lip, the space pirate must have been too tired to see that she was trapped, he was now gone. She stared off toward the two figures who were now about to fight. Would Raditzu win? It was rather interesting. She actually didn?t feel like fighting the blue fighter anyway, but did that girl really have to do this? She could not sit and relax in a bunker now. With a sigh she turned to the green figure that was Cell.

?You know, we could have that fight now.? She said with mild interest. ?I?m sure the field will fall once we?re finished, I?d rather fight you now otherwise I think I?ll just die of boredom.? She started to walk toward Cell. ?Who knows, maybe this time you?ll be stringer than the first time we fought, and maybe you?ll go to heaven.? A light smirk played across her lips. Though she wanted to fight, most of her thoughts remained on the Saiya-Jin and she hoped he did not lose in his fight.

OOC: God damn it fight me >=(.

[Android-18]

Finally he had given her an answer, and there was no turning back. Hopefully once the fight was over the stasis field will fall and the winner would be free. Who would be the winner? No one would know until it was done, not even 18 knew what new power the bio android held. He had absorbed her, and been killed by Raditzu. She had not seen his power since then, so it was a mystery to her. Although he looked changed, he was most likely as tricky and skilled as ever. The android watched him shift into a stance for defense. This time there would be no back stabbing. Was it revenge she wanted? Not entirely. She just wanted to see him die again, and then perhaps she could finally just forget about him. No hatred burned in her, just one of eagerness. It was time that they fought, the last time he had lost, this time she intended to win again.

The two seemed to read each others thoughts. Each of the warriors pushed off the grassy ground and propelled their muscled bodies toward each other. They collided and immediately broke into a bout of fists and feet that were either blocked or dodged with vigor. Android 18 had had enough rest since her last fight; Cell had not even really fought at all. They fought mere inches from the ground, but did not stop so soon. They continued to exchange blows, though some did hit. The girl barely cared that he smirked when he hit her, and he seemed not to care either when she hurt him. It was a cold battle that had waited long enough to begin; now it was time to see if Cell was even worthwhile.

She pushed the green fighter away from herself with a powerful blow with both hands. He slid backwards through the air but remained his composure. She wasted no time in summoning her energies. A disc of ki glowed and formed in her hands. It flared and hissed with intense power. She released it in mere moments so that Cell would have to be lucky to dodge or block the vicious attack. The disc of ki sped right into his upraised arms which seared painfully raw. He was pushed back further and the android watched as the disc finally dissipated. Cell stood looking down at his blistered skin, but he did not seem alarmed. Such burns could lead to trouble; each punch would cause horrid pain to flare through his sinews. Yet, both fighters smirked at each other as the skin began to green and flesh out over the wounds. ?You never do change, do you?? 18 commented. This would prove to be an interesting battle; Cell would regenerate as much as he possibly could, which would make the battle last as long as she or he wanted. Of course there were ways to kill him, many ways, until she grew bored though it did not matter.

A whirl of rocks and grass flurried and cut upward as Android 18 dashed with sheer velocity toward Cell. The bio android once more lifted his arms upward in an attempt to block her oncoming attack. Her pale fight tightened and cocked into the air. The air sliced apart as she pushed her appendage forward and drove it hard into the creatures arm. He felt the force pushing him back, the dirt beneath his feet started to push apart from the sudden push on his body. He would not fall. Her fist came back and as he tried to regain his footing her other fist took place of the pervious one. A sharp pain radiated from his bruising arm, his defenses were not so great. The cunning android stalled for half a moment. Cell mustered up his power and body chucked the girl. She stumbled backward but easily caught her balance. Now the green figure seemed to be pushing his power higher.

?I won?t be so easily beat, girl.? He muttered with distaste. There was no doubt he knew her strength, but even so, he would not go down as weak. His power pushed past its normal base and he felt his new power flowing through his veins.

[Android-18]

The sky above boiled with grays like none other. The world around the two figures was but a forgotten thing. The shimmering field continued to cut them off from escaping at all, but then, why would they? This had been decided, they both agreed upon their fight. Though one would surely lose, the other would reap the rewards. Cell?s power was not one to be trifled with; it was not so weak compared to some. Yet the android did not care, she only stared on with her continuous look. She was emotionless, even as the wind beat against her body, she did not move. Cell?s aura finally settled, it had picked up and flared brilliantly because of the new rush of power. Now he stood in all his glory, a bantam figure that would not be daunted. He knew his fate; he could taste it. The blond girl casually cocked an eyebrow. She settled into her stance and raised her hands upward in slight defense. She would not raise her power yet; after all she wanted this fight to last.

Cell moved toward her with shocking speed. His movement had increased so that he moved smoothly and cunningly. She blocked his coming attacks; though he was now stronger she was still as good a fighter as anyone. Her body moved gracefully along with each attack he threw at her. Sure he did score a few, but they were not so painful. She easily matched his power; this was her game.

OOC: Lunchtime at school, bored.

[Raditzu]

?Eh?? Raditzu had planned on tackling Burter with some overly dramatic attack and then ending things quickly. ?So much for that plan.?

A shimmering blue light expanded from a small device that Burter had been holding. Or maybe he threw it, Raditzu hadn?t been paying attention. Something he was mentally kicking himself for. Missing a stasis grenade; talk about a rookie mistake. Regardless, berating himself about it wasn?t going to change anything now. It looked like he and Burter were going to be spending some quality time together. The saiyan grinned.

?You sure that was a smart idea?? Rad looked Burter up and down.

?Doesn?t really matter, does it??

?I suppose not.? The blue-skinned alien was ready and rarin? to go, that was for sure. ?Although, I?m sure you?ve had your fill of me for a while.?

Burter?s response was as simple and straight forward as anyone could have asked for. Rad twisted his body to his left, letting a beam of energy slip by harmlessly. The bolt of ki collided with the wall of the stasis field and shattered. A small cloud of smoke and bits of residual ki followed a quiet crackling sound. Rad took note of this. Having never actually been in a stasis field before, he wanted to figure out what he was up against as quickly as possible. Another blast of energy shot past the saiya-jin. Burter definitely wasn?t in the mood to mess around.

?A bit feisty, are we?? Rad cracked his neck slowly. ?Can?t say I blame you. If I had to fight someone as amazing as I am, I would be a little on edge too.?

While the saiya-jin?s razor wit brought a chuckle from his own mouth, his opponent did not seem quite as amused. After a quick shrug, Rad jumped onto the attack. His form blurred into obscurity as he tore through the air towards his target. Burter dropped from the air several feet as Raditzu launched his first strike. The saiyan?s fist slid cleanly through the air Burter had so recently occupied. Burter fired another bolt of energy straight up, hoping to catch Raditzu off-guard. Normally, the saiyan would have been hit dead-on, but as the attack would have connected, a disc of metal seemed to come out of nowhere. The blast hit the protective disc and exploded, causing no harm to the saiyan. Burter shot backwards, giving himself more distance.

?Cool little trick, isn?t it?? The metal quickly returned to the form of a bracer and returned to the saiyan?s forearm. Rad extended his other arm towards Burter. ?Granted, I haven?t had a great opportunity to test it out.? A grin spread across his face. ?Until now, that is.?

The bracer quivered on the saiyan?s arm before shattering into several small shards and flying towards Burter. The retile-esque alien was taken a bit aback by this unexpected form of attack, but was more than ready to defend himself. A barrier of energy surrounded Burter as he called out the name of his Kinetic Light ability. The shards of metal, though imbued with Raditzu?s ki, were not powerful enough to break the blue warrior?s defense. The metal continued to bore into the shield, though they were making no progress. Raditzu, himself, was letting his energy build up. A white aura surrounded the saiya-jin and he sunk into an offensive stance.

?Burn Knuckle!?

The saiyan bolted forward, fist first. Raditzu?s fist shimmered under the flickering light of his fiery ki. Burter braced himself for the impact of Raditzu?s attack. If he tried to drop his shield and dodge, the metal shards would make things severely unpleasant. Burter?s shield sparked as Rad?s fist slammed into it. The saiyan?s attack stalled for a moment, but with a burst of ki, Burter?s opponent succeeded in barreling through his defenses. Burter took the hit full-on square in the chest. The blue reptilian tumbled from the sky. His body bounced lightly against the stasis field. Having opened the field in mid-air, the two warriors were suspended from the ground by the bottom of the field. The small shards of metal reformed around Raditzu?s arm.

Burter rubbed his chest as he stood up. His armor had held up to its end of their proverbial bargain, but Raditzu hit hard. From high above Burter, a grey-hued field extended, covering a strip of space between both warriors. Raditzu?s form came streaking downwards, his Quicksilver field greatly increasing his speed. Burter tried to roll out of the way, but found himself suddenly pinned between the stasis field and one of Raditzu?s boots. Upon striking, Raditzu?s field died down and he leapt away from his blue-skinned opponent. His feet settled on the shimmering blue floor of the stasis field. He looked around, staring through the field, at the scenery beyond it.

?Isn?t this kind of weird?? Rad looked from Burter, who was now standing once again, to the ground below them. ?I mean? we?re standing on nothing. You can, like, see the ground.?

?You can fly? and standing on nothing is weird?? Burter just shook his head.

?Well? that?s different. I mean?? Raditzu stopped to think for a minute. ?Yeah? ok? nevermind.?

?? idiot.?

This time Burter was the one to launch the offensive. He fired several bolts of energy towards his long-haired adversary. Once again, Raditzu?s bracer separated from his arm, formed a small disc, and proceeded to act as a floating defense against Burter?s attack. This defense, however, wasn?t perfect. Rad, having not really practiced his use of Lord Vine?s metal binding ability, didn?t have as complete control over the disc of metal as he would have liked. And, with his concentration on the defense, the bolts of energy that got past the disc slammed unerringly into his body. After four or five of the bolts struck home, Raditzu abandoned his flashy defense and resorted to a true, time-tested method: getting out of the way. Though he had handled the disc with surprising difficulty, the saiyan had no problems twisting, turning, and dodging with his own body. Burter continued to hurl his blast of energy, but it was proving less and less effective as time went on. Radizu seemed to have little trouble dodging, and it didn?t seem like he was going to start slowing down anytime soon.

?You know, I can keep this up all day. So feel free to burn as much energy as you want.? Rad flashed a cocky grin at his opponent.

Burter hurled a couple more balls of energy, but decided to drop that tactic. If smaller attacks weren?t going to work ? and it certainly looked like they weren?t ? then he would simply have to put more force behind a single attack. He brought both hands up above his head one placed on top of the other and began gathering energy. As his focused his energies, a ball of ki formed in his hands. The glowing ball slowly grew in size. Burter was making sure he was going to get as much out of this attack as possible. In the meantime, Raditzu simply stared, amazed.

?You?ve got to be kidding me?? Raditzu mimicked Burter?s movements, brining his hands above his head and gathering his energy. With his advanced sense of ki, it was no trouble at all for Rad to match the strength of Burter?s attack. ?Of all the moves in the universe.? Raditzu chuckled as Burter thrust his hands forward. Raditzu was quick to follow suit.

?Masenko!?
?Masenko!?

The two beams of energy burned towards each other, colliding with a brilliant display of sparks and crackles. Normally the beams of energy would seesaw as the two fighters battled, but this time the two attacks stopped dead. Neither moved an inch one way or the other. It was an eerie sight to see, to say least. It was just expected that one person would overpower the other, but that wasn?t any fun at all. Raditzu wouldn?t have anything to do, other than fight Burter, until the stasis field dropped, so he figured he might as well enjoy it a bit. Burter was slowly pumping more and more energy into his beam, but it was a fruitless effort. Raditzu matched his energy dead-on, with his piercing ki sense. As the two warriors increased the power of their beams, they could feel the heat of their own energy against their skin.

The two warriors stood deadlocked for several minutes. Their beams of energy hadn?t moved an inch. Raditzu?s interest in watching two beams do nothing was very quickly wearing thin. With a bored sigh he thrust his arms forward and sent a surge of energy through his own attack. Burter, having already expended more energy than it was worth, dropped his hands and lunged to one side. As Burter lunged, Raditzu thrust his arms downwards. The beam of energy hit the curve of the stasis dome they were in and detonated prematurely. Burter was shoved off of his feet, but suffered little damage, if any. Rad simply wanted to mess with the blue-skinned alien. Before Burter could get up to his feet, Raditzu leapt high into the air? or at least he tried to. His head smashed against the top of the stasis field.

?Bloody hell!? Rad rubbed the back of his head and glared down at Burter. ?You and your stupid stasis field. I really hate these things??

Rad would have continued to rant and swear, but was cut off as bolts of ki peppered his body. Burter saw an opening and started hurling blasts as fast as he could. It took several hits for Raditzu to figure out what, exactly was going on. His white aura burst into existence and began whipping about him. The burning flames of ki were whipped into a frienzied hurricane. Burter?s attacks were thrown away from the saiya-jin as they approached his Ki Vortex. From the defensive safety of his vortex, Raditzu cupped his hands at his side and began charging energy. A cerulean ball of energy burst to life in his hands. Any idiot would have recognized this attack, even without Rad?s syllabic uttering of the strike?s name.

?Ka? me? ha? me?? Rad would have launched his attack, but his attention was momentarily drawn. From his vantage point, he could see 18 and Cell stuck in a stasis field of their own. He wasn?t exactly sure how that had happened, but it sucked for 18. Somewhere, deep down inside, he almost felt bad for the bio-android. Either way, he wouldn?t want to be the one on the receiving end of whatever 18 had planned for him. ?Err? where was I??

Burter, without exactly understanding why Rad had stalled his attack, used the chance to prepare his own defense. His own aura wrapped about him and his ki began to take a tangible form. The barrier technique he had used earlier, while maybe not able to stand up to Raditzu?s assault, would certainly help. The glowing barrier flashed lightly, solidifying its existence. The flash seemed to bring Raditzu back to reality. The orb of energy was pulsating wildly in his hands.

?Oh? right. HA!?

Thrusting his hands forward, Raditzu?s aura returned to normal and he fired the beam of blue ki. Burter thrust his own hands forward, bracing his barrier for what was sure to be a powerful impact. Raditzu simply chuckled at the alien?s technique. It would be useless against his assault, without a doubt. As the beam struck Burter?s Kinetic Light barrier, the shattered into a massive cloud of smoke. The body of the beam, stretching from Burter to Raditzu, also burst into smoke. Rad smiled at his own ingenuity. In this stasis field, there would be no where for the smoke to go and, since it was laced with his own energy, it would make finding Burter a piece of cake, while helping to cloak his own location. It was far from perfect, as there were several pockets where the air was clean, and Raditzu was generating far more ki than the smoke, but it would certainly aid the long-haired warrior. Cracking his knuckles, Raditzu grinned into the cloud below him. This was proving to be plenty of fun.

[]Fight: Burter vs Raditzu[]

OOC: Post one for me is out of the way. I have one left. Take it away, blue man.

[Kami]

Kami stood quietly, watching the fights in the staisis fields raging on. Burter was battling away against Raditzu, and there was something else going on but he wasn't really paying too much attention to it. He took note of the sayjin's new ability to control metal objects around him. If they had to fight - which would suck - he would just have another thing to expect from the strong fighter.

Not wanting to miss much of the fight Kami zipped over to the Northeast bunker in area B, checked his collar and then went back out to see what was going on. If he ran into someone to fight on while he was over there, then so be it, but he saw little point in running around when this interesting fight was occuring.

OOC: Entered Area B Northeast Bunker, did the collar checking thing, then left.

[Kami]

The old Namek was caught off guard by the sudden tackle he recieved from the girl. She appeared to be having trouble seeing at the moment and thought maybe she had him confused with someone else. She pounded away on him as he lay down in the dirt, tears flying from her cheeks with each successive blow. It wasn't hurting too bad, but Kami needed her to get off of him. Being face down in the dirt was no fun, so he put his hands up and pushed up hard and fast in a push up motion to try and get the girl off balance. She teetered as he made his manuver and with a sharp twist at the waist Kami had knocked the girl to one side.

They both got to their feet, Kami looking confused more than anything else. It was obvious something happened to her eyes, so she must be relying on what little sight she had and her ki sense. She came running right back at him, screaming out while she charged. Kami remained calm as she blindly ran at him (no pun intended) throwing punches in a fit of pure emotional distress. He remembered days when he had just wanted to smash the ever loving crap out of something - and it looked like she was having one of those days.

His eyes narrowed, he wasn't sure if she really wanted a fight or if this was that "PMS" he kept hearing about. She threw punches, and Kami dodged them. As he held off her attack he took note of her abilities, and saw that he was significantly more powerful than she was, even without transforming he still had a nice sized advantage.

Teeth clentched almost as tight as he fists, Pan swung away at the Namek, trying her damnedest to connect. She threw kicks and punches, but it felt like she was hitting nothing but air. The blocking had stopped...was he dodging everything? Then she felt a tap at her shoulder and knew exactly who it was.

"Look girl..." Kami started. She whipped around to face him, even with her handicapped sight, it just felt more natural. "You do not know who you are dealing with right now. You are also in no condition to be of any good to any one in a fight, let alone yourself. If you want to fight me, you can, but you won't win. Seeing as how I seem to not be the cold hearted killer type, although I am in this tournament, I'm going to give you a chance to surrender to me right now. You get to leave and get some help for your eyes, I don't have to kill you and everyone goes on their merry way. So...what is it going to be?"

OOC: I wasn't sure if you wanted to fight or not...so I leave it to you to decide, I'm game either way. And yea, I went to the Northwest bunker, not whatever I said before...

[Kami]

Unlike before, Kami decided to not give Pan time to stand up. She wanted a fight and that is what she was going to get. A swift kick to the side of the girl sent her rolling across the ground some more. She even bounced along the ground a couple times before coming to a complete stop. She coughed up a little blood and got to her feet, a look of intense anger still scrawled across her face. She came back in at Kami without holding anything back. If he had anything to say about this girl it was that she had a lot of spunk.

Not wanting to become overly confident, Kami stayed to block the attacks Pan was launching at him. With every swing and every blocked attack the rage inside of Pan only grew larger. She kept hitting him, and he kept blocking. Suddenly she went from feeling her feet on the ground to a disconcerning floating feeling. The source was the quick jab to her jaw she just took. The dust and dirt kicked up as Kami watched her make another quick thud into the ground. She was tired and hurt, he hadn't fought anybody for at least a day or two. He went over and picked her up by the belt of her pants.

Before he could say anything she lashed out and caught him in the head with the back of her heel. Kami's head made a break for the ground and the rest of his body soon followed. Pan fell back down, trying to land her feet but ending up on her ass. Her head felt numb after the last hit, even in her blindness she swore she could see stars floating around her.

Getting back to her feet Pan focused harder this time on trying to be aware of where Kami was in relation to her. He was fast, faster than her, and she knew it, but using her hearing and ki sense she thought she heard him scuffling around to one side of her. She struck in that direction but caught nothing but the empty space. Kami slapped her on the back as he breezed past, using her anger and blindness to his advantage. This fight was hardly fair, he almost felt bad that the girl had decided to fight him. If this wasn't Dante's Abyss he would simply toss her to one side and go on his way - unfortunately for her, they were at Dante's Abyss, and she was in trouble.

Pan again attacked, her rage almost blocking out all common sense. Blood, sweat and tears, along with dirt covered her face. She reached out again, this time finding Kami. She was quickly adapting to her lack of sight, becoming more comfortable with her situation as time went on. Kami was suprised, mostly because he got kicked in the chest. Once Pan connected with the first hit she followed up with a quick combo of punches and kicks.

The Namek doubled back, having not put up a defense against a blind girl making nearly random attacks he was suprised and took a few good shots. Pan was growling while she pounded away, unleashing a scream along with a roundhouse kick straight from hell. Kami was sent crashing down into the ground, he promptly got back up.

"Ouch. I think you might've bruised something kid." He said, giving a quick smack on his robe to kick off some dirt. Pan still had her hands clentched tight and her jaw in a almost permanent scowl. Hearing where Kami was talking from she launched right at him.

He had expected as much, and intercepted her assault with an elbow to the stomach. Pan felt it drive deep into her gut, causing her to dry heave and gasp for air desperately. Like a slab of baloney on a wall, she peeled off Kami's elbow and crashed into the ground, searching for the breath which had been so rudly knocked out of her. Reaching to one side she grabed a fist full of dirt and tossed it into the air. Lucky her, it hit Kami in the face, giving him a taste of what she was feeling at the moment.

It gave her enough time to get up and then get kicked in the head by Kami. She didn't drop to the ground imediately though, instead she moved her head back in the Namek's direction and spat blood. She ran in again, trying as hard as she could to muster up enough strength to overpower the Namek. "Why can't I take you down you old bag?" Kami laughed out loud at the girl's comment.

He had a old of both her fists and dropped them down so that they were both squatting and then launched himself up into the air, Pan still in hand. He tossed her up infront of him and then fired a couple quick ki blasts. They connected, doing little more than disorienting her and keeping her upward momentum going. With his aura flaring up around him he sped up to catch Pan just before she started descending. He gave her a quick slap to get her vertical to the ground and then wrapped his arms around her from behind.

With a tight grip around her waist, Kami made a sudden direction change and aimed himself at the ground, Pan in his arms. Using his own ability of flight he sped up his descent and watched as the ground loomed ever closer. There was a high pitched whistling sound from the air whipping past his face, Pan simply rode along with a that same grimace on her face she had been holding the entire time. About ten feet from the ground Kami let go and did a quick flip en route to the ground to land. He hadn't done that move often and had to roll into his dismount to avoid messing anything up.

Pan was a little less fortunate. Unable to break free from the grasp of the old Namek, she went spiraling into the ground. She managed to tuck her head in so that she didn't snap her neck on impact. The ground buckled under her weight crashing down at such a high rate of speed. Kami stood up and looked back at the ditch the impact made.

Suprisingly he heard a few moans and groans coming from the hole. He took a deep breath and then saw Pan hop up out of the hole. She stumbled a bit but stood on both feet. She was in bad shape, but kept fighting anyways. Kami was still in fine shape, not too tired or beat up, unlike Pan.

After a few right hooks to the face Kami got his head back in the game, momentary lapses in judgement were a great way to get killed. Even with a great power one has to be aware of what is going on around them. Almost out of pitty he took a couple more shots, mostly because Pan wasn't letting up and he underestimated how worn out she really was.

Fatigue was showing it's effects even more. The punches were getting slower and he reaction time was longer. Kami noticed this but said nothing. Instead he sent forth a volley of attacks, blitzing Pan and breaking through the little defense she had the energy to sustain. It was becoming more and more obvious that something inside this girl had snapped. A place like this will do that to a person... Kami tought to himself as he punched away.

Pan saw another white flash as the deceivingly strong Namek clocked her in the head. It was hard to gain any sort of perspective on the world around when blind and being punched. Out of desperation she fired off a few blasts of ki with her hands, she heard Kami grunt and lunged forward. She caught him in the chest again, this time with both feet. When she dropped away the old Namekian could see boot marks on his shirt. He held out both hands and blasted Pan square in the chest with a ki blast, which exploded on contact and sent Pan flying backwards, skipping along the ground until she came to a stop.

Kami wiped away some blood from the corner of his mouth. Pan staggered forward after getting to her feet. "Well," Kami said, "I'll give you this much, you don't ever seem to quit."

[Burter]

The smoke had already begun to clear out from it's place in the stasis, as Raditzu had planned. Burter's previous position was now uncovered, but the blue alien had moved as fast as he could to attepmt to hide. Inside the gravity vortex, Burter's dark figure was knelt along the side, looking at the saiyan who looked about for the reptilian, knowing he had to be somewhere soon. It would only be a matter of time before Burter was found.

The reptile's head was spinning, trying to weigh each option he had and how could he could affect the saiyan without harming himself. "Ugh..." a grunt came from him as he stood up, letting his presence be known. "I have to keep trying."

"Oh, there you are," Raditzu spun around to be face to face with Burter. "Are we having fun, yet?"

The reptilian only moved down into his traditional fighting stance, still thinking up ways in his head to defeat the powerhouse saiyan. "You are strong," Burter complimented.

"Oh," Rad grinned, "I know."

"But," Burter shook his head and began to shake slightly, summoning ki into his palms, which slowly formed and grew bigger and bigger. Both elbows cocked back, so his palms faced out towards the saiyan. "Your not unbeatable." With that said, a flash of blue shot across the stasis field, sending Raditzu into a defensive stance. He saw Burter coming and easily put both hands up, knowing that Burter had no chance to affect the saiyan. Unfortunetly, he hadn't thought of one thing.

That Burter would stop.

The saiyan looked up, foolishly letting his guard down for a moment. Burter was glaring daggers at him, both bulky arms outstretched award from his body. The two blasts simentaneously launched away from his palms and towards the now exposed Rad. Rad put his hands up just in time to knock one away, leaving his stomach open for the other. Burter watched as the saiyan fell back a couple steps before regaining his composure. The reptile could see Rad's surprised expression, but he could also see the slight grin he sported. He had hit Rad, sure...but he hadn't hurt him.

The two took a moment to look down from their own stasis, and see the faint outlines of another battle in the process. Android 18 was getting her fight from Cell, which could only prove fatal for one of them. The reptile remembered when he had first met the girl, on the Kai's planet, and sparred her for the first time. She was talented to say the least. Burter was snapped away from his thoughts when he suddenly saw Raditzu appear in front of his figure.

"Boo." Rad slammed his first with full force against Burter's gut, forcing Burter upwards and into the air for a few feet. He held his stomach for a few moments, trying to catch his breath from the sudden sneak attack. Raditzu chuckled when the reptile dropped down in front of him, a few feet away. "You shouldn't let your guard down," the saiyan taunted, cracking his knuckles. "Now, Burter, this has been fun and alll...but what say we finish this?"

Burter slowly moved to one knee, and then to the other. He could see Rad slowly moving towards him, keeping that same cocky grin on him. The reptilian couldn't get his image out of his head since the start of the deadly game. And now, here he was. Right there in front of him. And he couldn't beat him, no matter how hard he tried. "Okay...you win."

Rad looked confused for a moment, cocking his head. "Excuse me? Is Big Bad Burter giving up?" He smiled once more, kind of enjoying the fact the reptilian was being so weak.

The small little white flickers of the stasis continued as the two fell to silence. Burter wondered if was truly ready to stop. But he kept telling himself, over and over...Why fight a battle I can't win? Why punish myself?

Inside, Burter could hear the voice pulsing through his chest, up his blood stream, and into his ears. Lakon, his late brother...he could hear the wiser reptile speaking to him, as if he had been there all along. The saiyan warrior only watched as Burter knelt there, weak and tired, ready to give up. He had no idea what Burter was hearing. The voice rang through, and Burter could hear every hissed word. Why fight what your destined to lose?, said the hissed voice inside his skull. [/I]Because, Burter, reptilian warrior, you only lose when you give up. If you can say you gave him everything you got, you didn't lose.[/i]

"Well?" Raditzu seemed a bit impatient, folding his arms over his chest. "Ready to quit?" He looked down upon the beaten alien, sighing at how easy this had begun. "I did expect more of a challenge from you."

His muscules strained against his huge weight, but somehow Burter managed to stand, and then only smile upon Rad's face. "This isn't over yet. Not by a long shot." With those words said, the reptile walked away with an after glow from the supernatual experience. He could still feel the power from his brother, hovering around him in his aura. Then Burter turned around after walking about fifthteen steps, and let one loud scream.

"This isn't over, I said! I have one trick up my sleeve, RADITZUUUUUUUUUU!" Burter's power began to spike once more, sending his aura into a churray of several different colors. Rad didn't even flinch as his power raised and the aura went from whire to green to red. He made no expressions at all, but only watched as Burter's rage and determination gave him the power he needed to stand a chance. His power still raised slowly when he let both fists drop, staring at Rad beyond his blood red aura. "Alright, Raditzu. Game on."

"Finally!" Came the relieved sigh from Rad. "I was hoping you had some power in that huge body of yours!" He let out a chuckle at his own joke, before preparing to launch out. "I'm ready now, Burter. Let's dance."

Both auras broke out hardcore, leaving tails from the spot they started once both fighters shot at each other. They moved up into the air to give themselves speed once they collided. Sure enough, both collided with the offensive attacks, forcing each other to use defense as well. Almost all punchs and kicks shot through, but neither fighter appeared to be effected. They kept going despite the pain which was sent across their bodies, moreso Burter from Rad's obvious advantage in power.

Even though the two appeared to be equal, Burter was still feeling Rad's power when each shot hit his body. His shoulder and chest began to go numb from the saiyan's melee hits, for no matter what he did or how fast he blocked, everything did twice as much damage as he could ever do. Raditzu was taking each shot like a champ, while Burter just pushed through the agony he was facing. The darkness of the stasis had been long erased by both Rad's and Burter's auras, lighting up almost fifty yards around them.

Seconds passed into minutes, and the minutes began to pass into hours. The two fought on wildly before both landed and stepped back, exhausted. Burter was almost ready to collapse, the only thing keeping him up was his will to defeat Rad. Raditzu on the other hand, though tired, was more then ready to continue on. He had only just broken a sweat minutes ago.

"So your serious, huh?" The saiyan questioned, realizing Burter was in no way planning to back down, even after the insane melee battle they had just ran into.

Burter only nodded, panting to catch his breath. "If your going to kill me, Rad." Burter stared at the long haired saiyan with absolutely unadulterated anger, "You won't have an easy time doing it."

"Is that s--WHOA!"

Raditzu was cut off by the surprising cheap shot from Burter flying through the air against towards him. The daggers, formed from ki, had been created as Raditzu and Burter recovered. The reptile had finally mastered Bra's signature technique, and it couldn't have happened at a better time. Raditzu only watched, with mere seconds to spare before the two kienzan daggers would collide with his body.

[Kami]

A bead of sweat streaked across the wrinkled features of the old Namek. The girl had obviously lost her mind, another victim of circumstamce on Dante. They continued rushing through the dust filled air, Pan seemingly going where ever she was sent. Kami moved in closer to strike while Pan floated along. Before he could bring down an angry fist she shot a strong ki blast at Kami and knocked out of flight. He crashed into the ground with a loud thud and rolled for a bit. Pan finally touched turf again, making a similarly ungraceful landing. I know she's gone crazy, I know she's still dangerous...but when she gets reckless is when things will become really bad...

Knowing the girl was not who she used to be, Kami felt no remorse in kicking her square in the face as she went to charge at him. She twirled end over end before coming to a halt on her hands and knees looking like a rabid dog with her tail wildly wagging around. The loss of sanity had let loose an inner beast which feared no one and sought only for the feeling of decimating an opponent.

Kami saw her coming, but the ferocity with which she struck was slightly unnerving, nonetheless his confidence remained steadfast. She delivered punches to his head and torso which felt like someone throwing rocks at him over and over again. Instead of winding up for a big kick she made it quick and vicious. Instead of falling back she pushed her already aching body even harder and continued her assault.

The hits alone were doing little to wear Kami down, but it was adding up to be one hell of an anoyance. He finally caught a flying fist and twisted hard. There was a shriek from the crazed girl as he put her in an arm bar and drove a knee into her side. He felt a rib or two cracking under the pressure and dropped her back down. She grabbed her side tightly, twitching in pain with every breath. She looked up with blood running down her mouth and made a quick shot for Kami's crotch.

He took the shot and doubled over. Pan wiped the blood from her mouth and took another step forward. Kami, obviously faking it, sent an all world karate chop up under Pan's chin. "Asexual, remember?" he hollered as she flew backwards. He put hsi hands out infront of him, palms together with the fingers spread out and fired a big beam at the soaring sayjin.

Pan could feel the immese ki headed her way, not sure if it was Kami or something else. She put up her arms across her face best she could and met the blast at an angle. Half of it feinted to one side while the rest collided with Pan and exploded. The blast sent her back down to the ground and kicked up a bunch of dust.

Capitolizing on the oportunity, the old Namek pounced on the downed Sayjin girl. What he didn't expect was the impact of both her knees in his stomach when he dove over to pumell her. Gasping for breath Kami took another punch to the face and fell to one side. Pan rolled over and started throwing punches. Each one felt better than the last for her, it was almost like she was feeding off the feeling of battle. Her veins buldged and her adrenaline shot through her entire body.

Kami was suprised by how she never gave up, he abscence of sanity was also suprising. She threw punch after punch and was really starting to wear down. Taking a moment to breath Kami lay motionless on the ground, bleeding from a few small cuts.

"I...*huff*...win..." Pan said as she stood up and started walking away. She stoped her victory lap when she heard sparking sounds behind her. A dusty, very grumpy looking Kami stood with two fingers to his forehead. Pan could sense energy rapidly building up infront of the wrinkled green battlehorse. She moved quickly, not wanting to give him any time for an attack.

Kami knew he wasn't going to get much time, but he figured he wasn't going to need very much. He had done the attack so many times before it was almost like second nature. Pan flew forward and Kami pulled his hand away from his face and pointed it at the psychotic girl who was barreling down on him. His fingers were practically touching her in the chest when he fired the blast off...

OOC: I guess thats it...uhhh, mods can figure out what you want to freaking do with it.

[Raditzu]

The sharp hiss of the kienzen daggers bore into Rad?s consciousness. Everything else around the long-haired warrior vanished as his mind focused on the two whirling blades before him. Thoughts filled his mind: should he dodge, or attempt to block, or try using a new technique? What would be the safest route out? What would leave him vulnerable to a follow-up attack and what would give him the opportunity to launch an effective counter attack? The daggers had been well thrown. They were too close together for Raditzu to risk moving his bulky frame between, but they were far enough apart to make dodging them completely extremely risky at this point. Somewhere, in the back of Raditzu?s mind, a memory sparked. He had seen this technique not only once, but twice before.

?Die!!? she screamed, lunging downward with her Kienzan Daggers. At the last possible moment, Dars grasped one of Bra?s blades with his left hand, and stopped the other blade by grabbing Bra?s forearm with his right hand. The girl tried to force her daggers toward Dars? head, but it was useless. Blood spilled from his left hand and the titan grimaced in pain before swinging Bra straight for the ground, where she came to rest, after smashing through several feet of earth.

He pictured himself, along with Burter and Bra, struggling against the immensely powerful Dars. The theory behind the technique was not complicated The second memory flashed before Rad?s eyes.

Out of nowhere, Bra zanzokened above Dars, holding her kienzan daggers with the blades facing downwards. With a loud battle cry, she descended at him, daggers extended. The ki razor blades slammed hard against Dars' face, just as Raditzu had planned. He only hoped that Bra had struck his eyes. Without vision, he would not be hard to battle against.

Unfortunately, Bra's kienzan daggers dispelled on immediate contact with Dars' skin.

The saiya-jin grew a cocky grin. Now the answer was simple. The daggers were constructed out of ki and, regardless of how it was channeled, did not seem to do much against a more powerful source of energy. Now it was simply left to Rad to do what saiyans do best. He extended his arms forward, lining his open hands with each of the daggers. His ki began to flow. Once again, the bracers adorning Raditzu?s forearms quivered and shimmered. The saiyan?s ki flowed into them, weaving throughout the metal. They became another extension of the saiya-jin?s consciousness and moved according to his will. He controlled as easily as he did his own arms, legs, or tail. The metal flowed forward, coating the palms of his hands in a second skin. His ki continued to surge through the metal, imbuing it with a strength and resilience far beyond their natural limit.

The force of the blades against the saiyan?s outstretched limbs forced him back a step or two. The heat of Burter?s ki threatened to sear his flesh even through the protective coating of the reformed bracers. With another surge of energy and a grunt of effort, Raditzu crushed the ki in his hands. The show of strength took more effort than he would be willing to admit, but it was quite an ego booster. The metal retreated from Rad?s hands as he charge forward. The stasis field underfoot sizzled from the force with which the saiyan propelled himself. Burter braced himself to defend, but was not properly prepared to ward off the saiyan?s entire body. Raditzu had simply thrown himself shoulder first towards the blue-skinned reptilian. Burter?s body slammed against the stasis field; the barrier of energy hissed and crackled in retort. Without wasting any time, Raditzu reached across his body, and hooked his arm around Burter?s neck and threw his weight under the reptile?s center of gravity. With a flourish, Raditzu heaved his opponent over his shoulder and sent him hurtling through the air. Burter twisted and flipped several times before bringing himself to a skidding halt. His knee tore along the bottom of the stasis field, which continued its noisy protest.

The smoke that filled the stasis field ? the product a previous attack of the saiyan?s ? whipped about in the wake of Burter?s flight. The aforementioned smoke had greatly thinned as the fight had worn on and the two warriors could make out the hazy outlines of one another. They each adjusted their weight and checked their footing; having been thrown in mid-air, the stasis grenade had created a sphere that completely enclosed their fight. As such, their footing was somewhat precarious. Through the shimmering, translucent, blue hue of the stasis field?s surface there was little to see. Raditzu smiled lightly at the sight of 18, still battling Cell, but, other than that, things had quieted down. Those that had been accompanying Burter had fled the scene, as Burter had loudly demanded, and the rest of the area was little more than a grassy plateau. What had happened had transpired in little more than a few seconds. This fight was definitely taking a more serious turn.

?Well?? Raditzu shook his head and let out a slow sigh. ?I guess I should start being a bit more serious about this, eh?? He looked down at his hands. Blood was dripping slowly from a long slit in either appendage. His defense against Burter?s last attack had been far from absolute, and the reptile was clearly not holding back: that attack would have been fatal if Raditzu hadn?t stopped it. ?Ya know? I was really hoping you would have given up.? Another quick sigh, ?but I doubt you?ll change your mind, and I wouldn?t be a very decent guy if I kept holding back against you, now would I??

Burter prepared himself, building up his ki and reaffirming his footing. The smoke around Raditzu burst outward as his aura flared with more vibrance and intensity than it had since the Dante?s Abyss tournament had begun. Even through the haze, Burter could clearly make out the saiyan?s form, as it seemed to burn with an ethereal glow. Burter?s ki sense burned as his saiya-jin opponent emitted an enormous power. It flared agains as a bolt of light burned a trail through the smoke. Burter contorted his body, attempting to dodge the blast, but the speed of the attack was outlandish. Burter?s armor bore a jet-black burn mark from the impact of the saiyan?s beam of energy. The energy had burned a hole clean through the cloud of smoke, giving both warriors a clear view of one another. Burter balked at the sight of the saiyan warrior that he saw. The goofy grin and lazy stance of the Raditzu he had been fighting were long gone. The saiyan?s face was set in a stern glare, his eyes burned with a powerful intensity. His muscles were taut, prepared for whatever came next, and outlined in an almost majestic golden glow. Behind him waved a long mane of golden locks. This was a completely different warrior than he had been no more than a minute ago.

Burter began to bring forth the bulk of his own power, but found himself horribly pushed for time. The smoke parted at an alarming rate, giving way to the golden spectre that Raditzu had become. Burter scanned the saiyan?s movements as quickly as he could, hoping to get a read on his opponent?s first attack, but even that proved difficult: using little more that raw strength, Raditzu swung his fist in a wide arc. Instinctively, Burter brought his forearm up to block, but underestimated the force of the saiyan?s blow. Burter was knocked off balance as Raditzu powered straight through his defense. The blue hued reptile staggered sideways, unable to mount a proper defense against the kick that came from his other side. Twisting his body in a practiced motion, Raditzu threw his weight behind the kick, contrary to his prior attack. The muscles in his torso were wrenched uncomfortably, but compared to the blow Burter suffered, it was worth the trade.

Raditzu leapt high into the air as Burter was shot towards the side of the stasis field. In the saiyan?s palm, a ball of ki flashed to life. The saiyan?s already glowing body as further illuminated as more ki was fed into the orb he held. Below him, Burter, despite the punishment he had been taking, continued to gather his own strength. Raditzu hurled the ball of his own energy, aiming to intercept his opponent?s flight. With a burst of ki, Burter flipped backwards, slammed his palms against the glowing field below him, and propelled himself upwards. The ball of ki careened past the alien, its searing heat washing over his body, missing its mark. Raditzu looked on as Burter finished gathering whatever strength he felt would be appropriate, and waited. The saiyan?s muscles tensed and his ki flared seemingly against his will. Rad closed his eyes and took in several deep breaths. As Burter launched his attack, his eyes snapped open. The blue reptilian launched a series of powerful blows and, to his great satisfaction, most of them connected. In the back of his mind Burter wondered why Raditzu was not putting up even half the defense he had mounted before, but an opening was an opening and Burter was not about to waste it.

Within the saiya-jin?s mind raged a battle far beyond what he had expected to encounter. His control of the Super Saiya-jin transformation had regressed severely. Something was tearing at his consciousness, something powerful, and something very primal. His senses were being clouded by this unexpected influence, and his focus was being taken away from his bout with Burter. In his mind the saiya-jin saw himself. He was waging a horrible battle. Some unbelievable power was assaulting his being, attacking the very core of the saiyan?s judgement and rationality. He was struggling against this power with everything he had, but he was slowly losing the battle. What, exactly, he was fighting he could not tell. There was some intangible energy that he was desperately struggling against. He watched himself fall to his knees, his energy spent and his breath short. Before the drained form of the long haired saiyan appeared a blinding glow. Where it came from he could not tell, but he could feel the terrible energy emanating from it. Slowly, the light started to take shape. It sprouted arms, legs, a head, hair, and, finally, a tail. The form grasped Raditzu by the throat and lifted him off of his knees and high off the ground. It hissed at the saiyan in a low, rumbling voice.

?More?? It?s grip tightened around the saiyan?s neck. Physically, Raditzu could feel himself breathing harder. ?More.? Raditzu mustered what strength he could and drove his fist into the apparition?s face. ?More! You must have more!? In his mind, Raditzu watched as he was thrown to the ground, struggling, fighting, just to keep his eyes open. A horrible laughter echoed from the glowing form as it started to take a more definitive shape. Raditzu?s prone body shook as he watched his fear realized. The apparition took his own form. His golden hair flailed about as energy surged outwards.

Meanwhile, Burter continued his beating of the distracted saiya-jin. Though completely oblivious to the saiyan?s mental struggle, he was aware of the fact that his assault seemed to be having a less than overwhelming effect. In fact, it seemed that the saiyan?s strength seemed to be growing as their fight wore on. He could only guess at the source of this bizarre turn of events, but he did not like where it was going. Suddenly, Bra?s tale of Raditzu?s ascension, his evolution beyond a normal Super Saiyan, nagged at the back of his mind. A power great enough to terrify the halfling child was definitely something to be weary of. Clasping both hands together, Burter drove Raditzu to the floor of the stasis field with a powerful blow. Spreading his arms outwards, to either side of his body, Burter prepared what he hoped would be one of the final blows in this fight. He had to do something serious before Raditzu power grew any more than it already had. And, as long as Raditzu kept his current lack of defense, this would be a serious blow indeed.

Within Raditzu?s mind, the incarnation of his saiyan ascension strode toward his battered body. The saiyan forced himself onto one knee; there was no way he was going to simply give up. He had attained that strength himself. What kind of warrior was limited by his own techniques? This was something he would have to face up to and fight sooner or later, and now seemed like just as good a time as any. Rad watched the glowing form approach, waiting for the proper time to strike. Tensing his muscles and summoning all of his strength, Raditzu lunged toward the invading form. His hands clamped around his adversary?s neck. The weight of his lunge had driven both figures to the ground. Now Raditzu was wrenching and tightening his grip with everything he had. It seemed like he held on for ages, but, slowly, the form stopped its struggling. It vanished in a brilliant glow, as it had appeared.

?? FLASH!?

Raditzu?s consciousness snapped back to reality. He had climbed onto one knee and was staring into the business end of a very powerful beam of energy. His aura surged outward and he propelled himself forward. His energy continued to climb, even beyond that which he normally commanded as a Super Saiyan, but he would have time to ponder that later. He thrust his fist forward as he approached Burter?s mass of ki. The fist burned with a powerful ki as the saiyan matched his Burn Knuckle against Burter?s Final Flash. After a second of struggling, the beam exploded, flinging both warriors away with a powerful shockwave. What little smoke remained in the stasis field was cast to the wind and the opponents had a clear view of one another. Raditzu picked himself up and eyed his opponent. Burter seemed to have a lot more fight left in him than he would have guessed. Rad looked down at himself. His body seemed to be shimmering with an unfamiliar light. Small bolts of electricity crackled across his aura sporadically. His mind was as sharp as ever, filled an alien vigor. His body, on the other hand, had been beaten more than he had realized.

?I?m giving you one last chance to give up, Burter.? Raditzu?s voice boomed toward his opponent. ?I?d like to avoid killing you if I don?t have to. I like you and your friends and it would be much smarter if you just quit now.? Rad was sure he already knew the answer to his ultimatum, but he meant what he said. His aura crackled and his muscles tensed once more as he slid into an offensive stance. He could feel every fiber in his body pulse with energy. ?I?m not going to hold back if you continue fighting.?

Regardless of the outcome of this fight, the saiyan felt he was, at least, a step closer to learning to control his latest transformation. His focus was now completely on the fight at hand, and he did not expect any more internal interruptions; though he knew he still had a long way to go and a lot of training he would have to go through. The power within him was still frightening and he would regard it with caution and uneasy for a time to come. That, however, he would have to deal with later.

OOC: Ok... it's a bit longer than I meant it to be.

^_^;;

Raditzu is in a state somewhere between SSJ and SSJ2, though its a lot closer to SSJ than SSJ2. In case that wasn't clear.

Anyway, that's the last post for yours truely. Back to Burter.

[Burter]

The reptile's power, by now, had hit it's maximum, soaring beyond what he had ever reached before. Though, despite the power he had never held before, the reptilian knew he was no match for the saiyan warrior. This one moment would decide his fate. Would he continue to live, or die where he stood?

"Well?" Raditzu began to seem impatient, folding both bulky arms over his chest. "What's it going to be?"

Burter answered the saiyan with a simple smile. "I will...give up. But only to fight you another day."

The stasis almost immediately closed, and Raditzu watched as Burter walked away, towards the Syntech Base, and away from the game. The reptile turned his head one last time, grinning. "You win the battle. The war ain't over yet."

Raditzu chuckled to himself as Burter left his sight.

[]-2,500 from Burter, +1 Point and +2,500 to Raditzu. Burter has left the game willingly.

Great fight, Rad.[]

[Android-18]

The shimmering dome continued to surround the combatants. Though they were trapped in the strange devices? work, a cool breeze still came in to batter against their frames. They could not get out, but nature could still affect them. Though the clouds above were dark and formidable, it had already rained so it was just threatening. There was no sound to be heard, and the only movement was that of Cell?s burning and fluctuating aura. The two warriors had broken apart and now stood staring at each other. The blonde female took only a little disheveled. Her hair was no longer tucked behind her ear on one side, but it was of no importance. She had dirt covering parts of her arms and some of her face, and her clothing had been torn in various places. None of it bothered her; all she carted about was this fight. Cell had only hit her a few times, but this was due to her fighting at his level. He was strong, no doubt, but she was much stronger. He knew she was, and she could easily beat him. How long would she continue to play like this? It was about time she just won this fight.

The android slowly moved her hand to her face and pushed one sides of her hair behind her ear. The wind battered against her still form, once it calmed she clenched her fists together. It was time she used her power, it was time that she no longer held back. She let go of her hold on her power and let up flood through her body. Her first upgrade pulsed into life and fed her never-ending desire for power. An aura suddenly burst to life around her form and Cell even stared in wonder at her suddenly arching form. A restrained scream finally escaped her lips as she cried out with a contorted face. Sweat rolled down the sides of her face as the power continued to flow through her veins. Her second upgrade unlocked her ultimate power and her aura exploded to new heights. It danced like a fire burning with her growing strength. The ground beneath her feet rumbled and small rock fragments lifted into the air only to explode into dust.

Finally her power topped off and her tightened fists lowered to her hips. She straightened and breathed heavily from the sudden flush of power into her body. Her intense blue eyes bore into the bio androids eyes; he was finally going to taste her true strength. Of course, he had once before been cruelly beaten by her, but this time he would finally die by her hands. The very thought of cutting off his life and sending him to the afterlife in her own fashion, it made her smirk with anticipation. She unclenched her fists and then curled her fingers inward once more. Her aura continued to dance in a fiery display. Finally once the moments passed the android knew it was time. She shifted into a casual stance. The grass and grit under her shoes crunched from sudden movement.

The blond fighter shot through the air at sudden quick speed. Cell?s eyes widened as he stepped back to try and avoid it. The girls? fist rose into the air and her lips parted to show her white malicious smirk. She drove her tightened hand forward and it painfully crushed into the green figures face. The force turned his head and his feet left the ground. He turned in the air and landed hard onto the ground a few feet away. This was not the end of her assault. She followed his falling body and gripped his arm just as he hit the ground. With a heave she lifted his body upward and turned quickly on her feet. She released his arm and sent him flying through the air. Her form appeared before him and she quickly laid a kick to his lower back which sent him sailing downward and crashing into the ground.

Android 18 stared down at Cell?s form; he struggled to get up. She stared down with disgust. He had absorbed her to gain new power, to grow strong and complete. He was nothing; he was not even a worthy opponent. He was only a fraction of her power, absorbing her did nothing. She held out her arms at her sides and started to gather her power. This fight had gone on long enough; hopefully once she finished off Cell the dome that kept them in would fall. She continued to muster her power and start her attack. Ki cracked along her muscled arms and gathered at the palms of her hands. She brought the two globes together as Cell looked up at her in anguish. The android yelled as she pushed more power into the globe and shouted her signature attack. The Final Flash exploded forth and flooded through the air toward her victim. Could Cell withstand such a powerful blast? She stared down with shaking fists; she had put a lot into the attack. If this failed, she would strangle the life out of him.

OOC: Ok I just wanna end this?Cell is too busy to even get on his comp for 5 mins?

[Burter]

I'm too lazy to RP it. Pan/Kami, I'll get to you soon, I need to talk to Rad first.

+1 Death to Cell
+1 Point and +5,000 z to 18

[Android-18]

The shimmering dome fell just as the ki attack slammed into Cell. It totally devoured him, and this time it would leave no trace of his existence. Once the dust cleared he was gone, and Android 18 could let out a breath. She looked around now and caught sight of the Saiya-Jin in the distance. She quickly took to the air and flew in his direction.

?Well considering Burter is no longer here, I take it you killed him?? She said with a smirk.

?No, he gave up.? Raditzu chuckled softly and 18 gave him a questioning look. ?Let?s get to a bunker.? The android nodded her agreement and she took off before him. She did not know which bunker he meant, but now they were closer to the northmost one. She didn?t hesitate to open the door and jump in. It was time to relax a bit.

OOC: Entered northern buinker in Area B.

[Burter]

Kami/Pan, one of you can RP this as I'm really not in the mood.

Pan- +2 Points, Kami- +1 Point

Kami is severely injured, with many of the organs in his torso ruptured. He'll be dead by the end of Day 5. Pan is drained from using all of her energy.

[Kami]

Kami was about to fire off his Makensappo, confident that this would finish off the girl. The shot was going to be point blank, a devistating shot for anyone to take. He felt the energy being released, but he could also feel Pan landing hard on his arm, bending his elbow down and pointing his fingers back at him instead of Pan.

Well this is the shittiest possible outcome...some luck I have

The blast was now aimed at Kami's torso, and proceded to rip right through him. To add insult to injury Pan punched him in the face on the way down and fell to the side, exhausted from the battle.

The blast went though Kami and into the ground, exploding behind him. Kami reached for the senzu bean he had been carrying since day 1, but couldn't seem to find it. He fell down to his knees. Concentrating on raising his ki and sealing the wound. His auara flared and faded as the hole slowly sealed up. The once mighty aura quickly disapaited and the old Namek fell to the ground. His injuries were so severe he wasn't sure that he could fi everything on his own. He wasn't sure there were any senzu beans left either.

Looking over at the girl on the ground, Kami did the olny thing he could at a time like this. It was going to be one lousy day, so he ignored the pain inside and drew on his power. The sky retreated as his power level soared. He wasn't going to completly top out, simply because of his injury, but it was still a force to be reckoned with.

After a few more lightning bolts and exploding rocks Kami went over to the unconcious Pan and kicked her really hard, like a disgruntled soccer player, and sent her flying into the side of a bunker. The solid cement cracked and crumbled, but did not falter as Pan made her impact against the wall and collapsed back down on the ground. Kami groaned and grabbed at his stomach. Yeah...I'm done for...but I might as well take a few people down before I go...

A light green aura still buzzing about him Kami floated up off the ground and started to slowly fly, looking for a victim on his farewell tour.

[Raditzu]

"So... I guess you took care of Cell?" Raditzu glanced over at 18 as they walked into the bunker.

Even though his fight was over, he had yet to disspell his Super Saiyan transformation. His skin tingled with energy and it felt like adrenaline was constantly being pumped through his veins. For a saiya-jin it was an amazing sort of euphoric rush, but it was going to run his ki dry in no time. Rad glanced around the bunker quickly, looking for somewhere to rest for a bit. He picked an inviting piece of floor to plop down on. His hair bunched uncomfortably as he leaned against a wall, but he didn't care: it was just nice to take a breather.

"So, any plans for the rest of tourny, babe?" Raditzu took a few deep breaths and tried to steady his saiyan blood.

OOC: entered nothern bunker in Area B with 18.

[Android-18]

The room was quiet, then why wouldn?t it be? The only ones inside were Raditzu and the android, no one else was near by. The female android watched her Saiya-Jin companion sit down against a wall; he was still in his transformation. She stared at him for a moment until he asked her a question. Did she have any plans? She just wanted to continue killing off the competition like every other warrior was. She looked down at him.

Once more she stared down at Raditzu, he seemed to be thinking. ?You?re still in your transformation, how about we go and make use of it?? Her fingers started to tighten into fists, for she too was still powered up.
