District 49 - Return of Lord Kakuja

((OOC: "Goku Healing Theme"))

He had spent nearly forty minutes sitting inside the rejuvenation tank. The water within had healed him of his injuries from his fight with Ryota, and during the healing process, he had attempted something but not quite mastered it. Kembu exited the healing chamber only an hour before reaching Konats’s atmosphere. He had to return the ship to the rental location where his father had initially obtained it. His spiky hair was still a little wet as he stood behind the pilot’s chair in a stance that exuded readiness. He had a smirk on his face, he stood up straight, and his arms were slightly bent at the elbows with his fists clenched tight. The ship entered the atmosphere with two strong, healthy fighters onboard, and Kembu closed his eyes as they approached the city. Let’s see if I can pull this off, Kembu thought.

Kembu was retrying that which he had essentially failed while he was inside the tank. He began to get it right this time, though. He was sensing ki energy from afar. At first, he could not pinpoint anything in particular, but then, things began to come together for him. The clarity began nearest him. He began to feel Ryota’s energy in relation to his own, and just as he had suspected, Ryota was more powerful than he; Kembu would have chuckled, but he had to stay focused. He kept his concentration and felt the energies beneath him on Konats where he would soon land. Remarkably, he felt several energies that were uncharacteristically high for his people. Then, he came to the conclusion that had eluded him thus far: ”Uh! They’re already here!”

This was bad. Kakuja had returned to Planet Konats before Kembu did, and he was clearly in the city with his henchmen, which augured catastrophe for the citizens of District 49. The ship was enveloped in a sort of red that appeared to have the color texture of a crayon as it shot down toward the city. A signal had intercepted the ship’s computer once the ship had reached the atmosphere so that the company of ownership could guide it straight down to the landing bay. The ship decelerated greatly near the end so as to land softly on its receiving pad. Kembu nodded to Ryota with a look of determination as he pressed the button that opened the main door.

((OOC: "I'm a Cloud" (Boy Hits Car) - Lord Slug OST))

Kembu walked out of the ship and looked around to witness the damage and carnage. The city skyline was wrought with smoke and large fires, and in the immediate vicinity, citizens ran frantically from roving bands of soldiers. These soldiers wore skin-tight, black pants with white armor over their chests as well as white helmets that encompassed their whole heads with tinted visors over the eyes. They marched through the streets, violently firing blasts from the devices on their hands that many of the Planet Trade Organization’s weak mercenaries used to generate blasts of synthetic energy. These were the same soldiers that had stormed Kembu’s home only a couple days earlier.

”We have to put a stop to this, Ryota! Help me!” With this exclamation, Kembu flew into the air over the street and hovered above a group of marching soldiers. Several soldiers noticed him hovering above them, so they quickly aimed their blasters toward the kid in the sky; as they did this, Kembu twisted into a position such that the left side of his body faced diagonally down toward them while his right side faced diagonally up and toward the sky, and he brought the bases of his two palms together only a few inches from his right hip, away from the soldiers. In his hands formed an orb of fire that emanated a brilliant, orange light. He shouted, ”Nova Star!” The fire-based, ki sphere launched toward the soldiers and exploded upon impact with the ground amidst the group as none of their lasers had yet hit Kembu. The blast took out several soldiers while setting the street on fire for ten cubic meters of space.

Kembu flew down toward the surviving soldiers and engaged them in combat as most of them were trying to stand to their feet and recover. One stood just in time to receive a knee to the gut and was subsequently knocked unconscious, and Kembu dashed forward toward another whose back faced him and delivered a swift karate chop to the neck to subdue the soldier; then, Kembu dashed directly to the right through his own flames and thrust his right elbow right through the visor of an unsuspecting soldier’s helmet, yet a nearby trooper tried to grab Kembu from behind in retaliation, which only yielded a blade stabbing through his torso.

Kembu flew up toward another figure he saw standing high atop a building’s rooftop, but this figure was not one of the soldiers; it was one of Kakuja’s main henchmen, and Kakuja stood only a few feet behind him with a smirk. Kembu landed on the edge of the roof and glared at both of them maliciously. ”Ah,” Kakuja said, ”I’m glad we finally found you. You’re the boy whose body I was planning to obtain. Hoisin, kill him, now.”



Hoisin launched at Kembu faster than the boy could react and punched Kembu in the gut with his left fist; then, he uppercut Kembu to launch him into the sky with his right fist. Kembu flew through the air, and Hoisin pursued. Kembu could sense the creature’s Power Level, which felt like it was roughly around four thousand; he knew he needed Ryota’s help. He stopped himself from soaring through the air, but Hoisin fired lasers with his eyes that hit Kembu explosively. A smoking Kembu fell toward the street from the sky with a trail of smoke following him on the way down, but at the last minute, he back-flipped and landed on his feet. ”Ryota!” he shouted with no other words.

[990 words, learned Nova Star & learned how to sense ki]

Ryota waited patiently in a meditating fashion as Kembu sat in the rejuvination tank. After about forty minutes, it was now the Namekian's turn to finish healing. He was only in the tank for about half that time. Ryota wasn't as wounded as Kembu, since he had the ability to regenerate, he was just feeling tired from using so much energy. As he sat in the healing tank, Ryota noticed something odd about Kembu. Normally someone would watch as they piloted an aircraft, but in the reflection off the windshield, Kembu seemed to be concentrating on something. Ryota exited the tank and dried off before taking a seat. What the hell is he doing? It looks like he's trying to feel or sense something. Maybe he's trying to sense if his enemy has already landed.[i] Ryota closed his eyes and cleared his mind right away. He was going to attempt the same thing, to sense ones power or ki energy. At first Ryota couldn't feel a thing, nothing at all. Just as he was about to give up, he felt something, an energy signal. It was coming from Kembu sitting not more than five feet away. Of course Ryota smiled as he noticed that his power level was above that of the little warrior. Ryota decided to expand his field of sensory and began noticing energy signals throughout the planet below. He could feel some fairly high power levels and couldn't help but wonder if they were all warriors. Just then, Ryota heard Kembu say, "Uh! They're already here!".

Ryota hadn't even noticed entering the atmosphere due to his immense concentration. The ship began to decelerate quickly after a signal appeared on the screen and it made its way to a landing dock. A nod came from kembu just before pressing the button to open the door. Finally, fresh air filled Ryota's lungs. The fresh air had a hint of burn to it and smoke as well. Ryota's fists were tightly clenched as he witnessed the destruction while he walked out of the ship with Kembu. He had no feelings for the civilians but he hated when people used their power against people who couldn't fight back. With his big ears, Ryota was able to hear the shrieks of pain and cries for help accompanied by the sound of marching feet. He could see the pain and anger on Kembu's face as he spoke to Ryota, ”We have to put a stop to this, Ryota! Help me!”

Ryota saw Kembu fly up and use a move that allowed him to defeat many of the soldiers that were terrorising his people. Kembu was making them droll like flies as he struck them with quick individual hits, a feeling of disappointment befell Ryota. He felt there was no need for him to be there, Kembu had more than enough power to stop his enemies. But he had already traveled a great distance to get there so he figured he'd get a good warm up out of these losers. The purple namekian flew off after Kembu and touched down in the middle of a large number of soldiers. He scoffed right before speaking, "So which one of you unlucky bastards wants to die first?!". The soldiers raised their blasters and aimed them at Ryota, his power level was a 2,000 at this point. Yellow spheres of ki energy were concentrated in each individual weapon, but before a single shot could be fired, Ryota burst into action. Ryota dashed to his two o'clock and crushed a soldier's blaster by bringing his right elbow and right knee together to smash it. Then his left fist broke through the soldier's helmet. The purple Namekian disappeared then reappeared to his now five o'clock, his left arm clotheslined the soldiers neck and sent him flying back, crashing into the side of a building head first. The beams were fired from the blasters but weren't fast enough to hit Ryota. These men were just a waste of his time so he decided to take them out by the dozens. He charged a yellow sphere in each hand and just as they began to shake vigorously, he aimed them towards the soldiers, "Rahh, light grenade!!'. Two spheres of yellow ki decimated dozens of soldiers.

Ryota looked around to find more soldiers to fight but instead saw a smoking Kembu spiraling downward towards the ground. Luckily he caught himself and called out for Ryota. But Ryota was already on his way to fight the powerful foe. He had sensed his energy on accident but couldn't get a power comparison between he and the enemy since he's still knew to the concept. Ryota flew towards the new enemy wand began raising his power level to about 4,000. He let loose a barrage of punches and kicks aimed for Hoisin, but the guy was no push over. Anyone strong enough to knock down Kembu like that was obviously skilled. The proof behind this theory was the fact that Hoisin was blocking and countering every attack thrown his way. Ryota was steadily raising his power level until it finally peaked at 4,646. Finally he began to see a difference in their power. It was slight but still there. Ryota had his hands full with this powerful opponent so he wouldn't be able to assist Kembu and splitting his body was out of the question since he needed all the power he had. Finally their clashing blows began to slow down. Ryota had gotten some shots in every now and then but had also sustained quite a bit of damage himself. He ended the clash with a strong left punch to the gut of Hoisin, then fired a full power energy wave at point blank range. His right arm was extended with his hand open flat in front of Hoisin's face. A powerful wave of yellow ki sent Hoisin flying back, this was Ryota's chance to finish off the powerful foe. He brought his index and middle finger on his right hand tks his forehead and began concentrating his ki into that single point. A vein appeared on Ryota's left temple, one on his right shoulder and another on the back of his right hand. He exhaled hard, showing just how much concentration he had put into this move. He slowly moved his two fingers away from his forehead and aimed them at the chest of the falling Hoisin. "Aaagghh, Special Beam Cannon!!", red and yellow colored ki spiraled towards Hoisin with a beam in the middle. The powerful attack drilled through the gut of Kembu. Ryota stayed hovering in the sky trying to catch his breath.


Wc 1,111+200= 1,311 to PL

Hoisin continued his fall toward the ground as the Namekian warrior charged his attack. Kembu was currently combating more soldiers. Needless to say, none of them were a match for him. The Special Beam Cannon was eventually fired, and it pierced directly through Hoisin’s body, which killed him. “What?” Kakuja said. “This is remarkable. It appears the boy brought help—in the form of a Namekian no less. Yes, this warrior is even stronger than the boy is. I should be using his body instead, and that will make me even stronger than I would have been with the other body. Spade!” Immediately at his beckoning call, Dile flew to Kakuja’s side and reverently answered, “Yes, my lord.”
“Kill this Namekian that I might have his body.”
“With pleasure.”

Spoiler:

Spade slowly glided down to the rooftop where Hoisin had originally been standing when Kembu had found him, and as he descended, he clicked the button on the side of his scouter to measure Ryota’s and Kembu’s Power Levels. “Ah, mere trifles. Power Levels far beneath mine should pose no threat. I’ll end this once and for all.” He looked at Ryota and began to charge a light blue energy on his right hand, and this caught Kembu’s attention. He could sense the energy, so he said, “Woah, unbelievable. It feels like this guy’s Power Level is about seven thousand! Even Ryota’s going to need help against something like that; in fact, I don’t know how we’re even going to beat him.”

The blue energy built itself slowly. Then, Spade shouted, “Hey, Namek, your time has come!” A light blue, cylindrical beam of ki energy soared through the air at the hovering Ryota, and Kembu was powerless to do anything about it. Fortunately, Ryota was strong enough to handle himself against such an attack, but Kembu knew that it was imperative he involve himself—the sooner the better. As the beam travelled toward Ryota with obvious power, Kembu began powering up an attack of his own. He grunted and even shouted a bit as his head tilted backward and his arms fanned out slightly. On both of his hands, a faded yet light yellow energy formed; it was an attack known as Maiden’s Rage. He pulled both hands together with the palms facing up at the new foe who stood atop the roof. ”Take this!” he yelled.

A thick, yellow beam of energy zoomed through the air at Spade whose beam had either hit or missed Ryota by now. The green warrior in battle armor was alerted to an attack rising toward him from the street by his scouter, and he looked down at it to see the beam barreling in his direction. The beam hit the corner of the building and exploded, but the blast came only a split second after Spade disappeared altogether. He had not really disappeared, though; it was simply that he was moving far too quickly for Kembu’s eyes to follow his movements. He became visible again on ground level only a few meters ahead from Kembu and charged the Konatsian with dispatch. Kembu gasped and equipped his sword just in time to aim its tip at Spade. The plan was to let Spade’s strike connect so that he would be moving too fast to stop himself from hitting the sword and piercing his own torso. Unfortunately, a shocked Spade just barely managed to stop himself in time, coming to a skidding halt. The tip of the blade still cracked his armor, but the damage was clearly minimal at best.

"Piccolo vs. 17"

Kembu did not let this stop him. In fact, he used it as a clever opportunity to catch his powerful foe off guard. As his right hand continued to hold the hilt of his sword, his left hand reached back, created a white orb of energy without charging it, and attempted to blast Spade’s face at point-blank range. Spade was remarkably quick enough to get his arms up to block against the attack; nevertheless, the blast at such close range propelled him backward. As Spade landed on his back and slid across the pavement of the street toward the sidewalk, Kembu leapt backward and up into the air to unleash a steady barrage of white ki spheres. He kept launching as many as he could, and they continued to collide with Spade as the warrior still lay on his back in fetal position with his arms over his face.

Kembu didn’t stop until he had launched a total of twenty orbs, and the blast had grown with each one. Kembu hovered in place, clearly out of breath. If anymore soldiers had come at this time, he’d be in trouble, but luckily, he had defeated all the troops he had seen. Much to Kembu’s chagrin, however, as the dust settled, Spade was revealed to be standing straight with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed, implicative of the minimalistic or even nonexistent damage done to his body from such a feeble attack. It was as though Kembu’s power had done nothing to him so far. “Hm hm hm,” Spade chuckled, “you are a fool if you think that you can defeat me with such a puny Power Level. Both you and your Namekian comrade are doomed."

(Ooc: plz ignore above post. 'Twas a premature postilation lmao XD)

"Yea-haha, I got him!", shouted the Namekian in joy as he watched his defeated foe fall to his death. Ryota looked towards Kembu to see his he was fairing, he had been fighting a few weak soldiers while Ryota was preoccupied. A large power Level was sensed by Ryota just before he heard a strange voice, “Hey, Namek, your time has come!” . This wasn't good, Ryota was still struggling to catch his breath. He turned around back to the rooftop corner to see a green crocodile type humanoid shooting a large light blue wave of energy. "Shit!", that's all Ryota had time to say as he crossed his arms to form an 'X' before his chest. The blue cylindrical beam of ki energy crashed into his body, knocking out what little breath he had left, sending him crashing down through a small building.

[color=darkblue]["What kind of monster is he?! His power Level is unbelievable... I don't think we can beat him.."/color], Ryota couldn't believe what he saying, where was his pride? The lone warrior from Namek, scared witness. Impossible, he wouldn't stand for it. He let out a loud roar just before raising his power level back to his maximum output. His purple aura knocking away the rubble covering his body as he soared to the spit where Kembu was fighting. He arrived to see the twenty white spheres crashing into Spade, and would also see he was unharmed. It was clear the henchman was lost in his ego, as he paid no attention to Ryota bursting from his crash site. He overheard Spade insulting Kembu and Ryota's power levels, could he sense power levels like they have been trying to? And what was thing on the left side of his face? Was it supposed tks make him see better, or was it to allow him to see something he wouldn't normally be able to? Ryota remembered hearing a high beeping sound just before being blasted, after all, with his large ears he's able to hear a lot more sounds than most beings. "What if that thing allows him to see our power levels? If I can destroy it, maybe we'll have a chance.", without a moment of hesitation, Ryota charged the reptilian foe at full speed. He was flying with his fists clenched, tightly tucked on each side of his rib cage. A loud roaring came from the purple Namekian as he neared Spade. He sung his left leg at the right side of Spade's face, needless to say it was stopped by the hencman's right arm. That was just fine, after all, Ryota just needed to occupy a couple of limbs so he could blast that piece of machinery on his face. Ryota bent his knee and swung his left fist towards the center of Spade's face, uh-oh, something was wrong with Ryota's plan. Normally it would have worked just fine against any other fighter, but this one had an extra appendage, a tail. Instead of dodging of blocking Ryota's fist, Spade caught his wrist with a powerful grip of his long tail. In a quick moment of panic, Ryota swung his right fist towards the scouter, pulling himself forward with his left arm. Alas it was diverted by Spade's left hand. Ryota was stumped, he had no idea what to do next. He thought for a quick second, if a physical attack wouldn't work, what about a ki attack?! Ryota gathered a large amount of yellow ki into his left hand, it was still balled up into a fist but would open wide right before Spade's face just as he fired on his stronger ki blasts, "Rrraaaggghh, Explosive Demon Wave!!". Ryota's blast exploded on Spades face, smoke raised from the impact, a direct hit! Spade's face had a couple of bruises but no real damage, however, Ryota's objective was successfully achieved! He had succeeded on getting rid of that contraption on his face. A green fist planted itself deep into the gut of the purple Namekian. His confidence faded, his breath gone and saliva dripping from his gaping mouth. Ryota opened his left hand and grabbed Spade's tail, "Kembu, now!!". The desperation in Ryota's voice was pitiful but alas, necessary. He truly needed his acquaintance's assistance. Ryota planted his feet and grabbed the wrist of his fist that was now piercing directly through his stomach. There wasn't much time left, blood was pouring out of his wound and his mouth due to the damaged organs in his body. The pain was unbearable, but he had no choice, there was no other way.

[Wc 768+200=968x1 +1,311= 2,279 to PL]

Kembu was at a loss when he witnessed Spade’s superiority. The Konatsian’s attacks simply failed to pose a threat, and now, Kembu wasn’t sure what his next move was. There was never a reason to fight such power on the Planet Konats, so his people were too weak to combat such a force. Kembu himself was arguably the strongest on the planet, but then, the only force on Kembu’s side that was truly stronger than him appeared, returning from having been thrashed by Spade’s last attack. The Namek charged Spade head-on and gave it his all. It was a difficult exchange of strikes and counters, but eventually, Ryota managed to destroy the device on Spade’s face. Konatsians were very resourceful and technological, so though it may have been foreign to Nameks, Kembu knew of the scouter’s capabilities quite well.

Suddenly, Spade thrust his fist into Ryota with impeccable force, and blood began to run. The sanguine fluid flowed freely from Ryota’s dangerous injury as well as his mouth, so Kembu was completely shocked to see that the Namek still had the heart and will to fight through it. Ryota grappled Spade as best he could and shouted for Kembu to use the opportunity to attack. This was the moment that Kembu could use to aid Ryota instead of the other way around. As it was, there was no winning in this battle without the Namek, but he could certainly help.

((OOC: "Trunks Powers Up"))

Kembu’s white aura flared up as he assumed a stance of energy concentration. He was bent at the knees and elbows with his head down as he forced his power to the absolute maximum, yet then, he proceeded to exceed his maximum power. While Kembu powered up, Spade began to struggle to get free. He didn’t use all his strength at first because he expected his escape to be relatively easy; however, it quickly became apparent that Ryota meant business due to the fact that his grip was uncanny. Spade started to genuinely endeavor to escape, yet his efforts were all for naught. It only took a few more seconds for Kembu to gather the energy he needed to completely double his power. ”Fool,” Spade said to Kembu, ”do you really think you can capitalize on this idiotic, deformed Namek’s efforts? Your attacks have no effect on me; you’re even weaker than he is. You’re the last of my worries.” Unfortunately for Spade, the lack of his scouter made it impossible to see the drastic increase in Kembu’s Power Level. It was resultant of what was known as Konatsian Honor, an intrinsically recognized sense of pride that had saved Kembu’s life when he fought against Kakuja’s henchman the first time the sorcerer visited Konats. This time, it would happen again, and with Kembu being even stronger than the last time, the end result would be that much greater as well.

Kembu was almost as strong as Spade as he began his attack. He held up his left hand and allowed a rather sizeable, red sphere of energy to manifest above his palm; it was the size of a beach ball, which may have been why Kembu treated it like one. He reached way back with his right hand and shouted, “Fire Crusher Ball!” His right hand came forth and spiked the large ball toward Spade who simply stood there with a smirk, waiting for the energy to hit. Had he retained his scouter, he would have realized that he was making a bad decision. The red orb, whose innards were mostly white, collided with Spade’s stomach and pushed him back with immense speed, yanking him free of Ryota’s grip and launching him directly through an expansive building. Behind said building, the Crusher Ball exploded, and a rather large, red dome expanded to consume the building through which Spade had been launched. The blast was rather immense, and Kembu stood in place, panting heavily as his Power Level returned to normal. Clearly, Spade would not emerge from this attack unscathed.

Kembu dropped a bit, putting his hands upon his knees that his upper body might rest. He was obviously fatigued. Spade finally revealed himself as the dust settled. His shoulder blades were gone with only jagged edges left behind, and the front of his armor—specifically the abdominal portion—was harshly cracked; additionally, Spade’s under garments were tattered substantially, and blood ran over his left eye where his scouter had once been. ”How dare you, you insolent brat! I’ll destroy you both for this!” The truth was that Spade was slow to begin his assault because he had lost a significant amount of energy; as such, he needed to be able to catch his breath for the moment.

((OOC: PL during attack = approx. 6.8k))

[787 words & learned Crusher Ball]

Ryota stood, panting, trying to catch bias breath. His left hand applying pressure the gaping hole left in his stomach. The blood stopped flowing out but the excruciating pain Ryota was experiencing was still present. He concentrated on regenerating the damaged cells and organs throughout his body. His power was shrinking due to the amount of energy it took. Finally the wound was healed and he was almost as good as new, but that was the only time he'd be able to heal. In his current condition, a second regeneration was completely out of the question. He jumped back to where Kembu was standing and he extended his right arm, his palm facing Kembu's chest. Small yellow waves of ki energy began flowing from Ryota's palm and transference onto Kembu's body. His bruises and scrapes began to fade as about twenty percent of his health was replenished, "Kembu, do you think you can work up another of those blasts? I think one more direct hit might dle the trick. I can't regenerate again but I can split my body into three to act as a diversion. The only drawback is I won't be as strong like they. Get ready, he's coming!". Ryota began letting out a roar as he concentrated on splitting his cells one by one. Limbs spawned from one another until two Ryota emerged from the first. He stood panting as Spade rushed towards them, "No plan of yours will work. Whatever you little shits are scheming won't work on me. You're just too weak, hahaha!!". It was obvious Spade knew they were communicating but it appeared as though he had no idea what they were saying. The three Ryota charged the powerful Spade, one went left, one right and the real Ryota stayed head on. The left Ryota swung a strong left kick at the back of Spade's head, the one on the right swung a hefty fist for Spade's right rib cage and lastly Ryota twisted his body to kick Spade in the chest with his right leg. Spade was slow at first but not for long, he was kicked behind his head and punched in the ribs but he quickly grabbed the two copies and swung them to crash into the real Ryota before he could land the kick. The three bodies were knocked back into one and Ryota laid with his back on the floor as Spade chuckled and formed a sphere of light blue ki in hi right palm. Ryota instinctively aimed his right foot for Spade's chest and extended it to crash into him. The kick carried a force twice as powerful as a normal kick due to the moment from it being extended. Spade was sent into the air from the force of the kick, Ryota rolled backwards and rushed the rattled Spade. After getting behind him, Ryota extended his right arm tks crash into the center of Spade's back, another powerful hit with twice the amount of pressure as a regular punch. Spade slammed onto the ground causing various cracks on its surface, Ryota looked towards Kembu and in a loud voice he yelled, "Kembu, kill him!!". Ryota was again looking for assistance, was he realizing that he too needed help every now and then? Either way, Ryota was beginning to experience emotions he had never felt before.
