Area A: Day Six

[Reijin]

Area A is controlled by Broli

Day Six will end on Wednesday, February 16th.

[Bra]

The halfling aristocrat shuddered as another frigid blast of cold washed over her, benumbing her senses. It felt as though she would fall from the sky, it felt as though she would lose the battle against the harsh winds which pummeled her exposed skin.

"Why the hell did we decide to come out here?" Bra murmured, her breath escaping as small white clouds of vapor. 16 appeared completely fine, as was usual. It must have been a wonderful advantage.

"Bra, there's several large powers a short distance ahead," the large machination declared, turning slightly to the left in order to head for them.

"Okay." the cyan-haired girl replied, rocketing forward without making any attempt at a warning. 16 reacted quickly, and shot forth in pursuit. Bra flared her aura out vehemently, using her own ki energy as source of heat, and continued across the frozen landscape.

A few excruciatingly long minutes later, the fast-paced duo landed, some eighty feet away from the nearest two energy signatures. Bra led her android compatriot behind a snowbank, where they could watch the outcome of the battle unseen. The demi-Saiyan peered over the embankment, reaching just high enough to watch from her location.

"Son of a bitch!! That's Gohan! And that's... that's grandpa!" she exclaimed, "Wha-wha- ...16! What should I do?!"

"Well... Chances are you should just wait and see what happens." 16 replied, already knowing what the reply would be.

"Just wait and see what happens!? Are you crazy??"

"Bra. If you interfere, you'd have to choose between a good friend, and family. One of them will likely die, do you want to be responsible to decide which one?" the android inquired. The cyan-haired girl opened her mouth, no doubt to make some snide retort, but it was as if at exactly that moment, 16's words had sank in.

"Yeah. Okay. We'll just... wait and see." she replied, and then coughed painfully, once again affirming that this place was simply far too cold.

OOC: Just watching the KV/Gohan fight. =\

Both Saiya-jins locked their cold, ebony eyes together. The dusty ground outside the Area A bunker provided the barren, empty battlefield that the warriors would find exemplary for the release of their racial bloodlust. Goku had enough of being orchestrated like a pawn in a chess game, and it was taking a toll on his patience and the hold on his temper. After all that happened in his past; the LMS, the FoF, the war against the Legendary Super Saiya-jin, he was slowly losing grip on who he used to be. So many evil acts had been committed before and by him, because the situation called for it. His mind was a raging tempest, unable to be calmed until the animalistic ferocity could be uncaged and funnelled from his tortured soul.

Even in his indulgent self assessment, Goku could see similar signs in the other Saiya-jin's eyes. His dark eyes held an indescrible secret that almost screamed out loud. Goku attempted to give Broli, as he found out in his rummaging, a fast mental probing with his telepathic powers. Due to the weak and inexperienced strength of his mental energies, he found out only the Saiya-jin's name before he hit a brick wall.

There was something deep inside this Broli that didn't, and wouldn't be found if it had it's way. Goku left the mystery of Broli to remain just that as he steadied himself for the battle.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Broli stated slyly, cutting the tension in the air so suddenly that it gave the battle hardened Goku a shock.

"I..." Goku wasn't aware that the Saiya-jin could feel his telepathic powers when he utilised them. Caught offguard, Goku knew not what to say. Such a unique ability to notice that deepened Goku's curiosity about Broli. Or was it possibly that he used his powers so novicely that it was easy to pick up?

Finding his mental footing again, Goku tensed his biceps and curled his forearms upwards slightly, forcing his raging blue aura to the surface. Standing and probing the secretive Saiya-jin would get him nowhere. Goku desperately needed to release the built up tension that coursed through his blood. His power level easily peaked over the one million mark, not wanting to take any chances with the mystery fighter. Broli stood up to the challenge, his energy inside him soaring upwards like an eagle, matching Goku step for step. The Earth raised fighter furrowed his brow and catapulted his power even higher, close to his maximum strength without the aid of his boosters. Broli steadily increased his own, but not to level with Goku. This would indeed be an interesting fight.

OOC: Sorry it's so short.

[Broli]

OCB: Please agree with the partner you're fighting on when the battle is over and ready to end. It's simply not fair for Person A to do an RP, then for Person B to write an RP, and then for Person A to post eight RPs and ask for a rating on the fight.

[Broli]

?Well??? smirked Burori, holding up a tightened fist of his blackened arm. Goku?s face twisted with disgust. ?What?s happened to you?? His eyes traced the contours of Burori?s body, scanning the Saiyan?s scarred appendages. Burori threw his head back and laughed, placing his hands on his hips. ?Can?t you see it? Can?t you feel it?? He waited a moment, expecting a response. As silence saturated the atmosphere, he took a step forward, only causing Goku to take a step back in defense. ?Broli is no more?? A fierce wind made its way across the frozen tundra on which the two fighters stood, screeching in such a way that it seemed the very air itself would shatter. ?? and the Black Demon has arisen.? The golden locks of the Saiya-Jin?s hair flowed freely, his eyes void of any color save white seeming to stare into the very depths of Goku?s soul.

?This isn?t a simple fight to you, I know that.? The words escaped Kakarot?s lips with an air of understanding connected with each and every breath. ?You know nothing!? A shimmering aura of pure luminosity flared around the Saiya-Jin, his charismatic attitude fading almost instantly. ?What I have transcended to? What I have become! All of it you could never comprehend! You shall be a mere stepping stone that I will use to take my place as an absolute power. I am the destroyer of worlds, and all shall come to know and fear me!? It almost seemed as if the Black Demon was trying to convince himself of his supremacy rather than to intimidate the Saiya-Jin before him. Goku listened with widened eyes, coming to believe one thing and one thing only. ?You?re insane.?

Broli could only smile. Perhaps he had indeed stepped over the brink of mere sanity and into a realm where everything he dreamed, everything he wished for was to become a reality, no matter what he had to do to achieve such a thing. The Black Demon was a creature that lusted for nothing short of absolute power, a power that could be used against anything that came upon its path. And even more repulsing, it enjoyed the journey of such. It found pleasure in wreaking vile hatred against the innocents of the world, usurping their lives as its own. And now? Now Goku had stood before him, ready to give it all he had. Goku was willing to challenge the power of the Black Virus, to challenge the seemingly unstoppable sovereignty of a sickness that would take a host of its choosing and transform it into what had been now known as the Black Demon. Only pure excitement could come from this, an excitement of knowing that, should Goku be defeated, the authority of the Black Demon would not and could not be denied, not by anyone. It had to prove itself as the destroyer of worlds? After all, it was what it had been created for.

?Shall we begin this?? Broli held out an open hand, curling his fingers ever so slightly and signaling for Goku to make the first move. Goku showed no hesitation. He wouldn?t back down from this. This would be a battle that no one of Dante?s Abyss could ignore, a battle that would shake the planet from all stability. The ground itself was about to shake.

[Orion]

Goku could feel it. What was blocked before was now proudly on display. The dark, insidious wall that he felt earlier had been razed, and the diabolical entity inside, using the powerful Broli as a host, had revealed itself. The possessive evil eyed Goku with his eerie, unholy eyes with an arrogant, sadistic smile. Boasting his self perpetuated divinity over the icy windswept battlefield had presented the Black Demon an ample gift of overpassionate security. His inflated pride was basting in himself, in his own assured dominance over any and all that were stupid enough to strip him of that dominance. What better opportunity to prove to himself, and the entire forsaken universe, of that birthright?

The boundless energy that radiated from Broli's being seemed to reach out and scorch the cold air around him. It was an energy that was not only of his own. The Black Demon had fused it's own power with the Saiya-jin almost, in a terrifying amalgamation of strength. Goku could see the time for talk was over. The creature that had diluted Broli's true self had complete hold over him and would work the unimaginably evil and inhuman thoughts and acts that he would so predictably commit if provided with the chance. The spiky, golden hair that stood as a testament to the Black Demon's ascension to Super Saiya-jin immediately came to Goku's foremost thoughts. With the undesirable situation of the monotone energy pulses from the Dante collars, the single minded Saiya-jin had little way of assuming Broli's true power, but by no means would he place his own strength above a preconceived estimate of his enemy's. Finished with his thoughts, Goku tore into the air, catapulting in an arch.

A blast of artic winds expelled outwards from Goku's blazing navy aura, matching the chilly conditions that both warriors felt regardless if they would admit to them. Simultaneously to the aura's birth, a light downpour of sleet cascaded from the sky, lighting up Goku's position for the Black Demon to keep track of. Clawing the fingers of his right hand, the black haired Saiya-jin coaxed the creation of a spherical energy ball and proceeded to hurl it at the stationary Broli. Burrowing a path of light through the falling precipitation, the ki ball spun towards his target. The golden aura that pulsed around Broli's behemoth form parted a snowless void around him; he quickly and so effortlessly ascended high into the air until he matched Goku's altitude. Its very life fading as fast as the light that it produced, the energy ball crashed into the snow blanketed ground, springing the cold coating into a translucent cloud.

Broli was on the move.

The two Saiya-jins rocketed through the increasingly snowing battlefield, their inhibitions and mocking calm facades discarded to unleash their pure warrior personas. If not for the ki wave quelching collars, surely the entire planet of Dante would have felt the dramatic approach for this battle of the titans. Soaring towards his opponent, Goku found the blank, ghostly eyes of Broli to be uncomfortably drawing. The void and the white, the lack of pupils, the way they stared through metal, it was impossible to look away. Throwing out his arms, Goku breathed life into two energy balls, one in each hand, and threw them one after the other. The first orb curved to the left of Broli, spinning in a semi circle towards its intended target. Well aware of the attack, the Black Demon swatted it down at the ground with the back of his hand. The energy ball detonated in much the same fashion as Goku's first terrestrial attack. Hoping that the second globe of ki would not fail, Goku increased his speed while the Black Demon focused upon it. The second ball flew cockily at Broli, finding its path to him straight. Showing his sneering contempt for the Saiya-jin, the Black Demon dropped his arms to his sides and attempted no counter attack or block to the remaining energy ball. It slammed hard into his chest, but did little to affect Broli at all. The only remnant that showed the ball may have ever existed was a rapidly fading whisp of smoke.

Suddenly, the muscular form of Broli shimmered out of the falling flakes of snow and reappeared directly in front of Goku. With widened eyes, the black haired Saiya-jin struggled against the iron clad grip of Broli, who had grasped both his wrists. The self assured grin returned to the Black Demon's face, his moment of supremacy on him once again. Goku attempted a knee to Broli's stomach, but found that the Super Saiya-jin had anticipated the move and had blocked it with his own kneecap. Utilising his swift Super Saiya-jin speed, Broli used his free knee and triumphed in the same attack that Goku had failed. The forceful melee hit sent Goku's nervous system into a tailspin. Pain shot throughout his stomach and chest and dissipated slightly as it richocheted through his limbs. The Black Demon chuckled at his attack, at its simplicity and yet its power.

"I hope that this isn't all you have inside you," the possessed Broli boomed with arrogant contempt.

"Don't underestimate me so," Goku snapped back.

He once again tried to rip his constrained arms from Broli's steadfast grip, but once again it was to no avail. The black haired Saiya-jin tilted his head upwards, taking his chin out of his chest. For the first time, Goku saw Broli's white eyes up close. They were so dead, and yet at the same time, full of life. Staring into the empty chasms, Goku could sense on an even larger scale what this Black Demon was truly about.

"You act as if you were a god," Goku snidely remarked.

Broli's grin widened. "In respect to you, at the very least."

"You are not a god," came the determined response, "but I have trained with them!"

The Black Demon sharpened his eyes slightly at Goku's last statement, but finding little time to analyse it's meaning.

"Kaioken x 15!" Goku roared. In a cacophony of dazzling light, Goku's navy blue aura flared crimson, spilling its radiating hue onto Broli's chest. Unaware of the fifteen fold increase of power on the black haired Saiya-jin, the Black Demon could not hold Goku any longer. The Kaioken energies gave Goku enough strength to slip free and bring his right fist across Broli's face.

But not before yelling another phrase into the sky.

"Sun Fist!" the shimmering red Saiya-jin called out. His knuckles immediately glazed with a searing white light, which Goku proceeded to crash across Broli's temples. The punch released the stored light energy and overwhelmed the Black Demon's ocular senses. The crunch of the attack forced the breath from Broli, expelling it out of his surprised face. Goku captilised on the momentary shock and pivoted by his waist upside down, slamming the backs of his heels into the Black Demon's jaw. A line of spittle and blood curved over Broli's head, his eyes now staring blankly upwards. The momentum of the double kick had brought Goku above Broli, and the speed of his bolstered powers allowed him to finish the brief attack. Grabbing the Super Saiya-jin hulk by the jaw, Goku heaved Broli over his shoulders and slammed him onto his rigid knee. Broli's spine cracked as his body bent awkwardly over the leg joint. Goku withdrew his knee and clasped both hands together, pummeling them into Broli's stomach. The sheer inertia of the double fisted smash sent the Black Demon to the frozen tundra below.

Just before impact, Broli threw out his limbs and stopped. Waves of snow flowed up and then back down from the force of the halt. A renewed vigor for battle glossed through the Demon's eyes as he righted himself and planted his feet into the soft snow.

"You might be a challenge yet..."

[Bra]

The two battles played out in close proximity, right before the two hidden Dante's Abyss contestants. Bra worked hard to watch both titanic clashes while Gohan and her grandfather traded fierce blows, and at the same time, Goku and the freakish Super Saiyan called 'Broli ' engaged in combat. The cyan-haired girl gasped in some sort of empathetic shock as the dead-eyed powerhouse landed a thunderous punch into Goku's jaw, launching the heroic Saiyan into a frozen rock formation.

"That bastard!!" Bra exclaimed, leaping into the air, only to come crashing back down into the snow, unable to stand. Sixteen's head jerked to the right to witness his fallen comrade. The android was able to tell from sight alone that the halfling was deathly cold. Frost had formed upon her clothing, her eyebrows, and her vibrant hair. The android, immune to even the most furious wrath the cold could bring, carefully walked over to the child, and scooped her up into his arms. Bra's lips had turned purple, and she'd fallen unconscious. Only the girl's constant shivering indicated she was still alive.

"How did you manage to hide how cold you were?" 16 demanded, knowing full well he wouldn't receive a reply, he continued then, with a slight twinge of nervousness. "Well, it's off to a bunker, then."

Another benefit of being artificial; Android 16 was able to tear into the sky without any of the four warriors taking any note, as his energy was completely undetectable.

"You shouldn't be here, Bra." the android said to the cyan-haired girl in his arms. With a determined grunt, the machination shot forth at a much greater speed, closing the distance to his destination. The numerals plastered on the lens of his scouter hurriedly dwindled, falling below 200 meters.

"There it is." 16 declared, rocketing toward the growing black silhouette. The closer he got, the more detail was revealed. First the gray concrete walls, next, the thick overhang above the bunker's entrance, then the powerful cannons designed to keep intruders out. Finally, a steel door could be made out, and Sixteen sailed into the entryway, nearly crashing into the metallic door as he did so. As his arms were rather occupied, the android used one of his elbows to strike the "door open" button, causing the veritable slab of metal to slide into the floor. Android 16 walked in, and placed Bra onto the nearest couch, before heading back to close the door, thereby keeping the frigid cold out. The humanoid's sensors tested the air temperature, and declared the room to be at 20 degrees celsius.

"Good, the kid'll warm up soon." 16 said to himself, while heading down the short flight of stairs which led to the turret computer. His hands moved like lightning as his fingers flew over the various keys. "Damn!! There's only three of us left in the tournament." the android sighed, and activated the bunker's turrets, programming them to avoid firing upon Bulma, Bra, and himself. With that finished, 16 headed back upstairs, and began looking for a blanket which he could throw onto his shivering comrade.

OOC: 16 and Bra have entered the eastern bunker of Area A, yo.

[Broli]

"There's no point in this fight ending simply because of these collars." Burori motioned to the device. The two of them nodded, and with that, they entered the bunker.

OOC: Goku and Broli have both entered the bunker of Area A.

Silly to have to put the fight on hold just for that, but whatever. I'll pick it up where you left off tomorrow (Thursday).

[Burter]

+1 Point to both of you. However...

+5,000 to KV, -1 Life from Gohan. Hard hard choice, but I really had to give it to KV. I'll let him finish it
