"What?"

The person standing right in front of me was none other than my "brother", Xicor, wearing his usual green, Z-Fighter reminiscent gi. He still had his spiky white hair, and was looking at me, as if thinking I am his prey or something, white sitting on a large boulder in the middle of the desert. We both stared at each other for a moment, with me being genuinely surprised and Xicor impatiently waiting for any kind of answer. To him, time was running out, though figuratively. He was not in a hurry anywhere, but he was still impatient as always.

"What are you... doing here?" I muttered. I hope my speech sensors didn't burn out from shock, and they didn't, in fact. So that's something. Xicor leaped off the boulder and slowly, and a bit creepily, walked up to me.

"What... have you not heard the news?" he spoke. "Though, I wouldn't be surprised - this rock is basically isolated from the rest of the universe. Maybe that's why you chose it and not Namchinno."

"You know, I don't follow Celestial Army news 24/7." I replied with a rather frustrated demeanor. "Unlike you, I don't waste my time trying to fight the robotic equivalent of a 5000-head hydra." It was true that Xicor's work was more or less useless. He spends all of his time trying to defeat his creator, yet with every thousand enemies killed, a billion more spawn. To be fair, at least he had a goal in life, something I noticeably lack. That's where he is superior, but I don't applaud him. Our relationship is tepid at best, and rival-like at worst.

"You know, these moments are why I am grateful you don't fight with me. You just lack the will." Xicor continued with a more tactical reply. I didn't try to respond. "Anyway, this is not the time that we have to argue until our energy supply breaks. I actually came here looking for help."

Help. Help?! Really? He must be really desperate for support right now.

"You see, the news I was talking about before come from Celestial Android development laboratories. They're upgrading X Class with a new module, which would allow them to counter even cosmic threats, and can upgrade indefinitely. Problem is - we need that."

"I doubt Ismodeus would let two rogue androids get even close to that kind of tech."

"Ismodeus is not involved this time. He isn't anywhere, actually. The Celestials want t ge him back in their group, and the Army is basically an independent organization by now, led by a group of Z Class."

"So what do you plan to do? Walk up to them and ask them to upgrade you? 'Hey guys, I destroyed thousands of your troops, can you make me a cosmic threat?'"

Xicor snickered. "This is where I need your help. Currently, the 'Power Influx', or however it's called, is in experimental production in a single facility. Basically, we break in, grab ourselves an upgrade, blast through and leave before they even notice. And we both get the power - it's a win-win! I already have the coordinates in my teleporter, what do you think?"

I had to think through this... To be fair, giving Xicor access to such power is far too dangerous, in my opinion, but if we stay just plain X, then we're in a seriously dangerous posiotion, with the threat of the Army re-capturing us. And I don't want to die again. That first time was already frustrating to deal with. Xicor is the closest thing to a friend I currently have, so...

"Fine, whatever." I spoke out.

"Alright, get ready to battle and sneak through..." Xicor replied, opened his teleporter HUD an touched the blue button.

[The Templar High Council]

The roof of the building they were just on exploded from the attack.

Kylie, sill waiting in Katie's apartment, got concerned when the cartoons she was watching turned to a APB for Manhattan. "This just in, a group of metas were spotted somewhere downtown, fighting on top of an abandoned apartment building. One of the buildings has had its top floors destroyed, and residents have been evacuated from nearby homes. Citizens are advised to—"

Kylie shut off the TV. "Yay! Something to do while waiting that's actually fun!" She stepped out onto Katie's fire escape, remembering to close the window behind her, and activated her power ring. Kylie was enveloped in green light, emerging as a Green Lantern (mask included)! "Alright New York, I'm on the way!" She bolted off the fire escape towards the trouble, leaving a few wide-eyed onlookers who saw her after her transformation.

Kylie appeared above the rooftop battle, watching a guy and a girl trade furious blows, one woman bonded to a tree, and another in a green hoodie on another roof. The problem was: she didn't know who the good and bad guys were. It'd be bad if she hit the people who were on her side. So instead of swinging away, Kylie flew down to the wooden woman and other green girl, yelling across the gap between buildings so both could here her.

"Hey, I'm here to help. Who's the bad guy?" Kylie yelled, plain as day.

[The Fallen Jedi]

Lightyears away from the Masaki Galaxy

Asumar sat silently by the fire, sitting across from the sleeping form of Ryuichi, sleeping soundly and softly, yet even though Ryuichi slept, Asumar could still sense the emotional instability within his son, the instability that pushed Ryuichi to his limit when he fought against Kilian on Battleworld, the Elder Masaki could sense the barrier that Ryuichi had unconsciously set up was bound to fail in the future and Asumar knew that Ryuichi was not prepared to control the energy, so Asumar wanted to release it earlier than expected and then try to get Ryuichi's emotions in check, the first step of Asumar's new longtime goal for the training "I know the trauma that has awoken Ryuichi's powers, and that was him being force to see me die, I know that I can replicate the same incident with a duplicate, but I don't know if that is the right thing to do... To force my son to relive such a moment, I would be a monster to do such a thing..." Asumar sighed sadly as he continued staring at his sleeping son, wondering what to do.

"As a father Asumar..." Alt-Asumar began calmly and serenely "You have to do what is best for your son, even if it will hurt him at the short term, you know the power hidden within him and you know what he can do with it, but if in a primal state as he was when fighting against Kilian, he will cause much more damage and harm than needed, you need to do what you think is right." Alt-Asumar remarked calmly, the Alternate Counterpart knew firsthand about raw, unkempt power, and he quite literally burnt by the presence of raw, unkempt power "I may not understand anything about being a father, but rest assure Asumar that your son, if left unchecked with his power when it shows itself, he will cause harm far beyond your imagination." Alt-Asumar warned.

The Elder Celestial stared at the sleeping Ryuichi intently before he closed his eyes, sighing in defeat "This has to be done in order for Ryuichi to control such raw energy, I know he will hate me for having him relive such a traumatic moment, but I know he will understand that this was necessary in order for him to control such power..." Asumar said to himself as he began to slowly and silently walk away from his sleeping son as he disappeared into the dark forests, leaving only the brightly glowing fire to keep his son company.

[Turmenista]

"Okay. Myosai won't miss! Myosai never miss!"

The sphere expanded in size and light slightly, then, after tossing it up in the air, Myosai bicycle kicked it towards Dabra.

Instead of usually going forward at the speed of a missile, it began curving and waving all over the place, like some sort of Erratic, flying insect.

Right before it closed in on the other Majin, the sphere expanded to the size of a Main battle tank, and, rather than exploding on contact like usual, consumed Dabra in its veil of light and exploded.

Even Myosai was unprepared for the force of the explosion. Steadying herself from the explosion, she floated towards where Dabra would've been, waiting for the dust of energy fragments to dissipate impatiently.

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, a pink mass began to form where Dabra had stood, and it becam clear that he was regenerating. Such an explosion was but a trifling matter to the Majin, with his durability at a level incomprehensible by most beings.

He smiled as his other eye gained it's red ring around his pupil, and he attained his Unleashed State, still able to maintain his relative sanity. He determined that it would have come to this anyways, and the longer he delayed it, the more destructive it would be when it finally came out. Dabra stuck his hand into the air, "My turn!", he shouted, as a small ball of pink energy appeared, suddenly growing massive, at least 20 meters in diameter. It had enough energy to destroy a large star, and had an area of effect equal to at least two supernovas.

Dabra threw the ball with exceptional speed, as it moved at super sonic speeds, which was fast for such a large object. Upon contact with anything, it would explode, and would tear apart anything caught in the blast at a molecular level, not entirely atomizing it's target, but still heavily damaging it.

If reduced to dust could be used to describe the aftermath of a blast like Dabra's, then Myosai would take that category.

Literally, large chunks of her were reduced to dust and disintegrated, from the massive explosion put forth by Dabra. Now, she could regenerate, but much slower than Dabra, and much more painfully; A trait she was unfortunate to not master yet.

Regenerating all these limbs and body parts was the most painful experience she had ever had so far, far more painful than fighting cellnemba a few days ago. She'd managed to regenerate successfully, like Dabra, yet hers took five minutes and was much more painful than even she expected. Sobbing half and pissed off the other half, she gingerly held her devastated arm. A new goal for her, she thought, was to master regeneration by the time she's reached the final stage of her maturity, with 10/10 of her power unlocked. At That point she'd be forming full sentences, and she'd have the capability to wipe out solar systems, and, at that point, would be able to destroy far larger things when enraged.

Right now, she WAS enraged. The pink aura around her was slowly gathering, as she panted, releasing her injured arm as she popped her neck.

"I... Myosai, surprised.." She said. The only three people who'd ever managed to get past her first attack in her Death ball game were Magnus, Cell, and, now, Dabra. This enraged her, but, soon, she realized what he was.

Dabra was a being of pure hatred and evil, and she could easily tell this because of the energy she could sense in him. Comparable to hers when she was angry. While she had gained power by absorbing Cell and his juniors and Janemba on Mars, he had to have had an immense base power, meaning he had the advantage. While she knew more moves and abilities by absorbing the two, he could dish out more damage and, as shown in their game of Death Ball.

Myosai sat down on a drifting piece of debris. "Myosai needs to think."

She'd got here first, but he was the one who found her in the first place. Perhaps.. Was he here to kill her, or, do worse things to her?

"Are... Are you here to destroy Myosai?" She asked innocently, less interested in the game and more interested in the backstory behind him. Why had he found her first?

[Empire of the Siberian Flaming Eskimos]

Salis glanced over at Batgirl as he left, rage still filling him. "I don't kill for the sake of killing and I don't enjoy it. Sometimes it is necessary and unlike you I actually recognize the fact. As for loneliness? Loneliness is the only thing I know, the only thing I've ever known. All my life the scum of the world have walked over me and no one, not a single one of you and your so called heroes, have ever done anything. I was abandon without a name, forced to live off the streets as a child, and almost beaten to death by the only people I ever came close to knowing." Salis breathed heavily for a bit. As his rant had continued his volume had gotten louder. He noticed that Batgirl followed him through the portal, something he had not intended. Suddenly she engaged him.

Salis reeled back as light flashed into his eyes and blinded him. Covering them, he realized he was open to attack and panicked. Rubbing his eyes, he opened them to see only darkness. Panic enveloped him as he tried to find an explanation. Had he been blinded permanently? Was he dead? Suddenly it dawned on him as he felt a familiar force humming around him. Salis had often covered certain parts of his body with a portal of various uses, but now he had done something new. His entire body was surrounded by one, nothing could touch him. Thinning out the portal around his eyes, he was able to see through to find nothing there. Knowing she wouldn't just give up a fight, Salis kept the portal up around himself. There was no telling where she might be.

"You wanted to know about my first kill," he yelled out, "I was fourteen, fresh to the gang. A gang war was tearing the streets apart at the time, and I was new, cannon fodder. The officers always liked to shove the newbies to the front. Let them take a bullet before they become a threat to their position. Didn't even see the guy long. His head popped out, I fired. I didn't react, just kept shooting. In the end I killed five men that day. You act like you know me, you don't. I've been through hell and back again. I wish I didn't have to go to these lengths, but you've forced my hand."

Holding his arm out, Salis concentrated on the cliff face in front of him. Just beyond it was the Batcave, and Salis was going to bring it down. Imagining the main room of the cave, he tore apart the dimensional threads that hung there. Soon a portal appeared. Rocks fell, screens shattered, and everything started being torn apart as the black hole formed. Pure rage fueled him as he created the monstrosity. Soon it would destroy the whole cave and everyone in it. There was no way to stop it, not even Salis could. It would destroy everything then collapse into the nothingness it had created. Knowing that he had succeeded, Salis stumbled back with exhaustion. The portal around him faltered slightly. Knowing he had little time before it failed completely and Batgirl pounced, Salis ran and jumped into a portal he created nearby. Appearing in the heart of the city, Salis closed the portal behind him before anyone could follow. Slumpind down on the pavement of the alley, Salis rested. It would be awhile before he could do much, but when he could he would come after Vannis, and noting would stop him this time.

After hearing the entirety of DeeDee's rather lenghty explanation, Hadrimmelis appeared to be immersed deep in thought. Certainly, the task of making self-sustaining portals to several points in the universe was a rather daunting one. Nothing she couldn't handle, as the power of the Dragon Force was vast and she could use it at her whim, so long as it did not go against the rules of her people (which this task did not), but it was sure to be a great endeavor nonetheless. The World-Dragon's avatar sat cross-legged on the ground of the demonic plane, having eased into that position as she listened to DeeDee, and her chin rested on top of her interlocked fingers, a very human position for sure, though her vast mind was hard at work devising the best way of creating a network that conformed to DeeDee's specifications.

"That's... quite the project you have there, my friend." Hadrimmelis said at last, straightening up and then rising from her sitting position. "I'll help you, of course, but I would advise you to settle the matter of the location first, before I start working on the portal network." She said with a nod. "Now, with that said, if you'd like help with anything else, feel free to ask. I am quite interested in seeing this little plan of yours come to fruition."

The woman with the fox tail and ears received her response soon enough as Garnet thrust her free hand forward, the purple gemstone on her bracelet glowing faintly until suddenly, in a burst of violet light, an enormous skeletal hand of spectral energy burst out of the gemstone, linked to it by a trail of light, and shot forward towards one of the many Tengu gathered around her and the Kitsune, holding onto it with unnatural strength and yanking it form its place in the ground, tossing it back towards the one wielding the power of the skeletal hand, Garnet.

When the Tengu eventually settled on the ground far behind where Garnet sat atop Shadow, it was neatly cleaved in two halves, and the entirety of the crystalline sword she wielded, along with half of her arm and a good portion of her blonde hair, were covered in blood, though strangely enough, any blood that would have logically fallen upon Shadow's mane were instead either diverted away from it or simply phased to the ground.

"I am in a terrible mood." She said in a weary, annoyed tone that belied her inner fury, as Shadow casually took a few steps in the leader's direction.

"My arrival here was an accident. I did not mean to be here, I did not come here looking for anything." She explained, her voice cold. "Now, if your friend there hadn't decided to try to attack me," Here she pointed at the headless corpse on the ground in front of her. "then I would have left this place without a trace, without a problem." She said, her expression steadily growing angrier as the voices in her head took hold.

"But you were the ones to make the first move, you were the ones who decided to show your ugly faces." The bloodied woman growled. "I have fought and killed things far worse than the lot of you. Whatever happens to you now is your responsibility."

And with that, she took out Misery with her free hand, leveling it at the head of the Tengu leader... and fired.

Yet, Asra did not avoid the barrage of molten metal that Valka launched towards him. The attack took him completely by surprise, as he was ill prepared to fight against such tactics, his already malfunctioning mind now clouded by rage. Thus, he was covered in a layer of molten metal which burned against his skin. A bloodcurdling scream emerged from his lungs, so loud it reached far past the barrier of metal, reverberating even through the black void of space, causing the earth to quiver and the moon to rumble. Far below, in the grounds of Aiuar, the army of fire elementals screamed in unison with their master, their flames destabilizing and turning to the same absolute searing fire that the Blazeborn commanded. They screamed in pain with their creator for several moments, until suddenly, their cries of agony died out.

And then, every single one of them burst, their power combined forming the equivalent of a nuclear explosion.

However, far above them, the Ashbringer did not stop. His pain continued echoing far and wide, the all-consuming fire around his blade going completely wild and savage despite the fact that it was still stuck on Valka's shoulder. Then, from within the shell of tungsten and uru, a shockwave of flames was sent out, incinerating everything in its path, starting with his molten prison.

If Valka were to look at him then, she would notice that his skin had burned away, though his eyes remained, bursting with green light, as did his fiery hair. And, of course, she would also see what it was that lay beneath the skin of the Rainborn: black, reflective stone which partially blended in with the dark surroundings and gave him a sinister air. He had stopped screaming now, but only for a moment.

The next moment, he willed his blade back to his hand, though the flames had undoubtedly done quite a number on Valka's body. And then, with a scream that displayed not pain, but sheer, mad fury, he pointed the sword at the shield surrounding Aiuar once more, and a stream of absolute flames burst forth from the tip of the blade, just like when Valka had first engaged him in combat. Yet, this stream was several times stronger, likely capable of punching through the shield with just a few minutes of continued exposure, if even that. Clearly, his strength had grown exponentially since the beginning of the fight, and in fact, the Corrupted Core which granted him his power was now in overdrive, vastly enhancing his power for a limited time.

Whatever Valka and Aeshandra meant to do to cast him away from there, it would have to be done quickly, or Aiuar would suffer.

[Charmera]

Cora
Cora was still standing in shock on the roof top when Katie and Val suddenly arrived. She was finally snapped out of it when Katie spoke to her. Cora never took her eyes off the male android but spoke, "I'm sorry, but I had to come and see it for myself. I can't sense his energy Katie, he's an android just like me." She told her, he'd voice soft in disbelief.

Android 22 heard electricity sparking and this drew his eyes to the root top where Cora and the others were. He locked his eyes on Cora, finally he had found her. He raised his hand up toward the building and a ball of energy began to glow from his hand.

Cora's eyes widened as she saw the Android was about to attack, "No!" She shouted grabbing Val and Katie and pull them into the air with her as the roof of the building they were just on exploded from the attack. She quickly landed on another roof and let go of both of them once they were safely on the ground. "I'm sorry I put you in danger. He's here to kill me, I don't know how or why, I just know. Stay here, I won't let you two be hurt because of me." She said before flying off again and landing in front of Android 22.

Android 22 smiled when Cora landed in front of him. His prey had come to him, this was too easy. "What do you want? Who sent you?" Cora demanded. "I want you to die!" 22 shouted and charged Cora with a punch. Cora was barely able to block it in time as 22 sent a furry of punches her way. He was faster than she was and eventually on of the punches got through and knocked her to the ground.

"You're too easy." 22 taunted, "Maybe I should deal with those friends of yours next." Cora's eyes filled with anger and she got up and charged at him. "Leave them alone!" She shouted as they began exchanging blows again in a flurry of punches and kicks at hyper speed.

Val looked at Katie, and then back to Cora, seeing that the two of them were agreed in this. "No chance we're just going to watch you fight this person." As Cora returned to the fight, Val leaped off the building, brown coat fluttering. Creating a tree below her, she grabbed one branch and then landed in a roll, before dusting herself off nonchalantly. She would've have entrapped Cora's opponent using branches, but they were moving too fast for her to safely engage without getting Cora too. Turning her body into wood, she waved for Katie to jump onto the tree and come down, Valancy extending the branch of the tree to make it easier.

Katie passed through the tree electrically, using it's organic molecules to transport herself down in electron form. Her physical body reformed and arcs of electrical current poured from it. She frowned. "Yeah! No way we're going to let you fight this asshole on your own!" She said. Her mind whired quickly, tempted to blast this android guy but the electricity might arc into Cora... She frowned. "I... may have an idea that could hel="

The roof of the building they were just on exploded from the attack.

Kylie, sill waiting in Katie's apartment, got concerned when the cartoons she was watching turned to a APB for Manhattan. "This just in, a group of metas were spotted somewhere downtown, fighting on top of an abandoned apartment building. One of the buildings has had its top floors destroyed, and residents have been evacuated from nearby homes. Citizens are advised to—"

Kylie shut off the TV. "Yay! Something to do while waiting that's actually fun!" She stepped out onto Katie's fire escape, remembering to close the window behind her, and activated her power ring. Kylie was enveloped in green light, emerging as a Green Lantern (mask included)! "Alright New York, I'm on the way!" She bolted off the fire escape towards the trouble, leaving a few wide-eyed onlookers who saw her after her transformation.

Kylie appeared above the rooftop battle, watching a guy and a girl trade furious blows, one woman bonded to a tree, and another in a green hoodie on another roof. The problem was: she didn't know who the good and bad guys were. It'd be bad if she hit the people who were on her side. So instead of swinging away, Kylie flew down to the wooden woman and other green girl, yelling across the gap between buildings so both could here her.

"Hey, I'm here to help. Who's the bad guy?" Kylie yelled, plain as day.

She was then interupted by a newcomer. She charged up her electrical energy, feeling a little on edge and quick to the trigger. She sighed, letting it disipate. "For all intents and purposes, all the girls here are the good guys and that one guy our friend is fighting is a baddie." She explained. She then frowned, cocking her head slightly. This Green Lantern looked familiar. "Do... Do I know you?"

The woman with the fox tail and ears received her response soon enough as Garnet thrust her free hand forward, the purple gemstone on her bracelet glowing faintly until suddenly, in a burst of violet light, an enormous skeletal hand of spectral energy burst out of the gemstone, linked to it by a trail of light, and shot forward towards one of the many Tengu gathered around her and the Kitsune, holding onto it with unnatural strength and yanking it form its place in the ground, tossing it back towards the one wielding the power of the skeletal hand, Garnet.

When the Tengu eventually settled on the ground far behind where Garnet sat atop Shadow, it was neatly cleaved in two halves, and the entirety of the crystalline sword she wielded, along with half of her arm and a good portion of her blonde hair, were covered in blood, though strangely enough, any blood that would have logically fallen upon Shadow's mane were instead either diverted away from it or simply phased to the ground.

"I am in a terrible mood." She said in a weary, annoyed tone that belied her inner fury, as Shadow casually took a few steps in the leader's direction.

"But you were the ones to make the first move, you were the ones who decided to show your ugly faces." The bloodied woman growled. "I have fought and killed things far worse than the lot of you. Whatever happens to you now is your responsibility."

And with that, she took out Misery with her free hand, leveling it at the head of the Tengu leader... and fired.

The Tengu leader reacted before she fired, despite his size his reactions were swift enough to react to her movement. The leader then glared at his assailant, drawing a blade. His bird eyes almost bulged. Something about him gave the impression "I think not Gaijin human! I think your a spy! I think you're here to hurt our mistress!"

"Mistress..." Masami said to herself.

"<Release the Basan and attack them you wingless pigeons! The Tengu who get's me that Foxes head will get a promotion! Same goes for the Gaijin!>" A squawk in unison was heard, and arrows were sent towards the two warriors. Masami held her ground until the last moment, where she rushed from her position and climbed one of the walls the Kitsune were perched on. She would normally be reluctant to spill blood on hallowed ground, but this was no longer a temple. She could feel it. It had been defiled.

She slashed through Tengu after Tengu, able to fight them off with some ease, using her skills in swordplay to cut through bone and saw through feathered meat like a butcher cutting up chicken. It was akin to a razor through wet tissue paper. They seemed weaker than she remembered the bird Yokai usually were, and less cowardly. Likely it had something to do with the thing she sought.

---

Meanwhile, the Tengu leader returned his baleful gaze to Garnet, who had the impudence to fire at him. He noticed already several of his men were engaging her. Though he did not care enough to evaluate their success. Considering the last one she killed, likely poorly. He quickly ascended into the air, flapping his wings before landing in front of her, red tengu eyes squarely on her.

"So, intruder, you speak of deadlier foes." He asked, slicing at the woman with his blade. His attack erratic and maddened, but with considerable strength behind it. "Let's see how much more deadly..."

---

The Kitsune watched as her foe leaped off after Garnet, frowing slightly. She absentmindedly decapitated a Tengu while in thought, the head rolling off while the body rann around comically before flopping to the ground. Why abandon his position and give ground to the enemy like that? Could he not see how easily Masami had dealt with his troops.

<Release the Basan and attack them you wingless pigeons!>

Basan! Wait! The fox remembered her training. Then looked to the east wall. A couple of Tengu were removing a bar from a gate nearby. She called out to Garnet. "Wait! Ignore him! He's only distracting!" She was suddenly assailed by something. She dodged a massive ball of ghostfire, seeing a large figure in the next section of the temple. A large avian figure... though... flightless...

A massive chicken. It's beak brimming with fire. Masami might have laughed had she not remembered the story her aunt Kiyoko told her of the three one tails who all died to a Basan.

Masami only hoped Garnet would be able to deal with the other one. Or at least that it wouldn't come out of that gate just yet.

[Siliarba]

DeeDee

DeeDee smiled, for two reasons, the first being the fact Hadri agreed, secondly because the location had just been covered by CeeCee it seemed. Even as separate bodies and even wile she's using astral projection, their minds are still linked, so DeeDee knew the location had been arranged. "CeeCee found a location, so that's covered." With a snip of her fingers the coordinates appeared on the ground "knowing it's on earth, duh, those are the longitude and latitude. It can be so helpful to have your mind linked with someone." DeeDee looked away for a moment, as the question wasn't fully answered yet in a way. "Honestly me nor CeeCee really know much about things besides Earth and this demonic plane, so I don't really know where the portals should be connected to exactly. We'd have to rely on someone with more outside of Earth knowledge."

"Maybe you have some good ideas for those locations, if not I'm sure we'll find someone. Now with that said, ..." DeeDee smiled again "There is one more thing you could help me with, back to my first subject, how about that booty call?" DeeDee smiled seductively as she finished her sentence.

CeeCee

CeeCee was continuing to work on getting the warehouses either remodeled, or torn down and replaced by a new building and finding who'd be best to do al this. Her work and thought stream did get interrupted suddenly when DeeDee asked Hadri for a, as she puts it, booty call. "DeeDee, the heck are you doing? I'm working here and you know I'm in a public place and everything you feel, even as an astral projection, I feel." She whispered to herself, just saying it was enough to make DeeDee aware of it. "Then I suggest you take a break and get yourself somewhere private unless you wish to make a very hot scene."

CeeCee sighed, and slapped herself, it was a message to DeeDee that she owed CeeCee one, after all, DeeDee felt that slap as well. Now with that done she made her suit appear on herself and used it to call for her car, the Defender, as she downloaded everything she had been working on, on to her suit. She picked up DeeDee's seemingly sleeping body and left for that car where she continued to work for as long as she could before DeeDee's sensations would distract her to much.

[Charmera]

Claudia tried her best to answer the childs questions. She was actually enjoying herself, Tomia's joy was infectious and she couldn't help but find this kid utterly and completely adorable.

Then some asshole came in. And Claudia was mad again.

---

Claudia's frown could have sent grown men scrambling for their mothers at that moment. Her own momma bear instincts kicked in as she pushed Tomia behind her, putting herself between the two of them. Her frown quickly turning into a scowl of barely contained rage which would have given even the Hulk pause. She could feel his power. And you know what? She didn't give a fuck. No one. No one threatened that girl while she was around.

"Buddy. Or, better yet, Asshole." She started. "I'm going to say this once, because I feel in a surprisingly good mood despite how shitty today has been." She explained. "I'm going to give you the chance to walk away, right now. Because if you don't. And you touch so much as a hair on her head."

"I will tear your apart limb from limb, and then break your spine for good measure. And if you actually hurt her." He power shot up just thinking about how much this guy pissed her off. An Aura of blue fire circled her. "I'll burn you alive while I do it."

"So what's it going to be? You walking away and going back to whatever the fuck you were doing before, or I see how much you can piss me off. Your choice."

You are the chosen one, the Super Saiyan.

Only one part of that phrase was true, he was the Chosen One, but he was so much more than a Super Saiyan.

The shackles placed on his mind by Babadi since he was a child snapped one by one, nothing in comparison to the raging beast within him. A wicked smile filled his features.

The smile growing wider, Broly began to chuckle.. a chuckle which turned into something as dark and depraved as the power within him. This weakling before him thought she could hurt him? Even gods would recoil in fear of his power, the heavens themselves would shake with the power he had within him, and this was nothing to all he had, this was but a drop in an endless ocean.

Another burst of green energy burst from him, the ground around them fissuring, buildings rumbling and falling before a tiny fraction of his might. Turning his head to Claudia, his cackle became louder.

With the crimson women approaching him, Broly felt a natural response overtake him. Opening the vent of power dwelling within him, a geyser of green power exploded from him in a great gust of force, the planet quaking with his power.

To Broly, it was empowering. For the first time since he was a child, he could feel the power within him, unhindered by any limits or control. He could finally let the monster within him free. The dark power within him that had propelled him across the stars, which made him a Super Saiyan.. was a power which has been growing within him for decades now. It fed and it grew, and now it was finally being released. What it was, was so much then it had ever been before.

Ignoring the crimson girl, he strode forward, standing before the child.

" I chose my victims, Bitch," He cackled

Claudia grunted as she recovered from the blast. She got up, cracking her knuckles. She frowned. He is strong. Her first priority should be to secure Tomia. Fighting got her hurt the last time. She was going to make sure she didn't get hurt again. She had been entrusted the girl by Hiroshi after all. She quickly leaped forward again, sliding in to where she once was.

Once again between the giant and Tomia, she sent a gout of blue hot flame right into the monsters face with an outstretched palm. She then leaped back, Tomia in her arms as she frowned, her eyes searching for a place to hide the little girl. For now she kept her body wrapped around the child, ready to use her own body to defend Tomia if need be. She could heal herself. Tomia could not.

[Tomia]

Cora
Cora and 22 continued to trade heavy blows. He's fast, too fast. I won't be able to keep this up forever. She said to herself. She wasn't even able to listen to her friends speaking to her because she was focusing. Soon 22 disappeared from in front of Cora. Cora punched the air and stumbled forward. "Where did he go?" She said softly in shock. "Right behind you," 22 said smugly from behind, slamming his elbow hard in to her neck. Cora grunted in pain and fell to her knees. He was just too fast for her. 22 smiled and grabbed her by the neck and lifted her in the air. "This was too easy." He said, a ki blast growing in his hand as he prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

[Charmera]

Cora
Cora and 22 continued to trade heavy blows. He's fast, too fast. I won't be able to keep this up forever. She said to herself. She wasn't even able to listen to her friends speaking to her because she was focusing. Soon 22 disappeared from in front of Cora. Cora punched the air and stumbled forward. "Where did he go?" She said softly in shock. "Right behind you," 22 said smugly from behind, slamming his elbow hard in to her neck. Cora grunted in pain and fell to her knees. He was just too fast for her. 22 smiled and grabbed her by the neck and lifted her in the air. "This was too easy." He said, a ki blast growing in his hand as he prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

Suddenly a completely different blast came from somewhere else aimed at the arm of the android. A ball of pure plasma, glowing purple as it speed into his arm. Likely not doing too much damage but at least forcing him to drop her. Now all Katie had to do was play distraction for a bit while Core got back onto her feet and the Green lantern (Who still looked odly familiar), Val and her worked out a plan. Or at least thats what she hoped they'd do. She probably should have thought of a plan B.

Behind 22 came a voice. "You know, ripping out someone elses heart is not the best way to find your own Tin man." She spoke, as she suddenly rapidly shot a large amout of electricity through him. "Though, you look like you need more brains than heart big guy. Don't you know how little they pay robot villains these days? Honestly I think you'd be a better coffee machine anyway..."

[Tomia]

Android 22 raised his hand to close to Cora's face, the kids energy radiating brightly. Cora was sure she was about to die, when suddenly 22's arm began to spark as it was hit with plasma. This forced him to drop Cora. Cora feel to the ground and before the other Android could respond Cora brought her elbow hard into 22's stomach. He grunted and bent over in pain, giving Cora a chance to roll away and quickly get to her feet.

She would have insisted on fighting alone, but now Katie had gotten herself involved. Cora may have been able to beat him on her own(even that was a maybe), but she couldn't fight him and protect Katie at the same time, she needed help if she was going to save her best friend. She ran over to Valancy and the new girl standing with her. She didn't bother introducing herself or explaining the situation, there was no time. "We need to slow him down. He's too fast for me. I can't keep up with him. If we can demobilize him, maybe we can stop him." She said to them, nervously keeping an eye on Katie. She would never forgive herself if something happened to her.

Android 22 was pulling himself to his feet when he felt a surge of electricity through his body. It slowed his movements a bit, as it messed with his programming, but didn't do any serious damage. He saw Katie and heard her insults, smirking at her. "Nice tricks, do you do children's parties? I find it so adorable when humans think they can stop me. You never seem to see yourself for the ants that you really are. Now it's my turn." He said to her, pushing forward the ki blast that he had been charging forward with powerful speed. It was a bright yellow, and was all around the size of a large watermelon.

[The Templar High Council]

She was then interrupted by a newcomer. She charged up her electrical energy, feeling a little on edge and quick to the trigger. She sighed, letting it dissipate. "For all intents and purposes, all the girls here are the good guys and that one guy our friend is fighting is a baddie." She explained. She then frowned, cocking her head slightly. This Green Lantern looked familiar. "Do... Do I know you?"

"Alright, I'll see what I can do." Kylie responded, rolling up her imaginary sleeves. "Know me? I barely did anything useful for this city until now. You probably don't. I'm the Lady Lantern." Kylie summoned a baseball bat made of green light. Shit was about to get real. Then...

*plasma bolt*

"You know, ripping out someone elses heart is not the best way to find your own Tin man." She spoke, as she suddenly rapidly shot a large amout of electricity through him. "Though, you look like you need more brains than heart big guy. Don't you know how little they pay robot villains these days? Honestly I think you'd be a better coffee machine anyway..."

*knee to gut*

"We need to slow him down. He's too fast for me. I can't keep up with him. If we can demobilize him, maybe we can stop him."

"Nice tricks, do you do children's parties? I find it so adorable when humans think they can stop me. You never seem to see yourself for the ants that you really are. Now it's my turn."

*watermelon blast*

"Yeah, and I know coffee machines. A couple handles and a wall plug, he'll look nice on the kitchen counter." Kylie swung her bat, turning the energy into a wall with which to protect the other girls. As soon as the energy sphere hit the wall, the energy moved to encapsulate it and seal the explosive power away. It was just a guess, but a good one, as Kylie's willpower absorbed the blast and retreated back to her ring.

"Now, where were we... Oh yeah! Lady Lantern, up to bat!" Kylie made another baseball bat, this one more than two stories tall, and swung it at #22. She was aiming to hit him out to the Atlantic, or at least out of Downtown.

[Charmera]

It was a bright yellow, and was all around the size of a large watermelon.

Katie reacted before he even fired the attack, or even charged it up. Moving at the speed of electricity, she sped around her opponent, allowing him to waste his attack. She had successfully got his attention though this wasn't going to be easy. If she was hit once, she was done for. If she was lucky she might be able to turn into electricity at the last moment. "Parties... now that is an idea... I wonder how much I'd make doing that." She wondered aloud. She send a fiery ball of purple plasma his way. "Also, why the hate for ants? They're pretty cool. Loyal, strong, good senses. Give them a brain and human size and you've got a race of killers." She spoke. "Sorry. Am I rambling? I ramble when I'm bored. Like now. You're so slow and dumb you're putting me to sleep here." She kept poking at the bear with a stick, hoping he wouldn't notice the three super-powered people plotting his downfall. Or the giant Baseball bat.

[The Republic of Atria]

Ares being sent across Asgard got the attention of Hercules. "And what have we here? A traitor in out midst! I shall dispose of him quickly!" Hercules boasted ensure all of the fellow gods, both Olympian and Asgardian, heard him. "I've heard thing about you Goldilocks. You're supposed to be pretty tough. I mean, for a mortal I mean." He said and stood at least a foot taller than the beast of a man. "I can't believe my father wanted you to take on the All-Mother. Tell you what, I'll let you get the first hit in. Go ahead." Hercules said confident that Alex was no where strong enough to actually cause any real damage.

This however proved to be a painful mistake. Alex slammed his hands together, like a thunderclap, but instead of his hands hitting each other, they hit both sides of Hercules' head. The was blow powerful enough that to blew out both oh of the god's eardrums and gave him wicked shell-shock. "Gods and their ego. Their biggest weakness." Alex said before sending the god into the air and then back into the ground. Alex stopped as Hercules bled and crawled to his feet. "What did we learn?" Alex asked the god and kicked Hercules in the ribs, putting him on his back. "I'll accept something along the lines of, I'm sorry for underestimating you. Or a surrender. I'm okay with either,"

"Not... Bad. But." Just outside of Alex's field of vision, came a kick to end all kicks, right into the place where not only is it excruciatingly painful, but also highly frowned upon. Hercules just kicked Alex, full force, in the nuts. "Not as tough as you thought you were?" He asked Alex as the Golden Guardian writhed in pain on the ground. Being kicked in the no-no spot was one thing. Being kicked there by the Olympian God of strength was an entirely different matter. A painful one. Despite that, he managed to send a weak, but noticeable telepathic message to Valka:

Throw me Mjolnir for just a second... Hercules just kicked me square in the nuts and I'm pretty sure one of them popped...

Killian

Whis set the food aside and then looked to the blue costumed man. "Very well. Let us begin with a simple sparring match." Whis said and teleported his staff away. It was now evident why Killian was named the God of Speed. He was fast. Fast was not skilled however. Killian got a total of two blows in before Whis caught onto his strategy. Killian always attacked from the front, and while Whis certainly had to keep his guard up simply yo avoid Killian hitting him, Whis noticed that Killian's back was left wide open. One teleport behind the small god and a quick chop, Killian was down.

"Ow! Like... Son of a bitch... Ouch..." Killian muttered as he staggered back to his feet.

"While you certainly live up to your title, you are predictable. Overconfident in your abilities to keep your opponent from moving, that you left your back wide open. Given that you, despite being godly, are still human, you cannot take the damage." Whis said. "Why don't we work on that?" He asked and Killian nodded in agreement and then smiled.

"It's been awhile since I felt pain. I needed that. Not just the physical pain. I needed to be reminded that I can lose. That I'm not perfect. Been there done that, not doing it again. Alright. So let's get the training started."

"We will need Lord Beerus for this. Lord Beerus!" Whis called out and the purple god reluctantly showed his head.

"What?! I was going to- Is that human food I smell?" Beerus asked still decked out in his bath towels.

"Indeed it is. Eat, and then we will be sparring with Killian."

"Sparring with the God of Speed? My this will be an interesting day. By the way, I should tell you that those little Masakis created weapons to fight you. In the event you wanted to kill them or something. I wasn't really paying attention. They couldn't even handle me at 5%."

"Their tech is pretty dated. Not really scared. Help yourself Beerus. I brought Pudding."

[The Fallen Jedi]

Sigma Galli Prime

Kazuko knew that he needed to get to work on his Android Army.

After Beerus pointed out the faults that Kazuko's Android Army had, the Grand Warlord essentially decided to observe the process first hand, it became his objective to accelerate the regenerative capabilities of his newly formed Android Army that were essentially clones made out of both Asumar and Kazuko's genetic structure. Kazuko watched on silently as his android army continued to be produced in front of his eyes "I admit that It's been a long time since I've done anything to improve the quality in each of my Androids and Guardians, but I guess the time is now to put the brunt of my attention into making them faster, stronger, and even more durable." Kazuko remarked, watching as his best technicians went to work on improving the technology they had stolen from the Big Gete Star, after having obtained the chip that created the Big Gete Star in the first place "Make as much improvements to the Regenerative and Adaptive Capabilities in that chip, they need to be fast, no, faster than lightning." Kazuko ordered, not even turning back to look at the technicians.

The Masaki Guardian Technicians didn't need to be reminded again, while some of them continued to take a look at what gave the Meta-Coolers the adaptive capabilities, they all sought to find a way to decrease the time it took for the regenerative capabilities, but they also sought to increase the power output the androids would gain when they would sustain damage. Alpha 01-1, the lead unit of the Alpha Units of the Dynasty approached Kazuko, kneeling respectively to his superior officer "Lord Kazuko, If I may be of some help, may I propose utilizing the same genetic material of the defunct Projects Redwing and Blackwing in order to broaden the chances of our new army being as strong as Subjects Alpha and Omega-Prime?" Alpha 01-1 asked the Grand Warlord, knowing that if the same genetic material would be used for their Android Army, there was a chance that the entire army could potentially be able to level the surface of a planet.

Although Kazuko hated to admit it, when the Alpha-Omega Prime Program took place, it did certainly bring about impressive results, even the two entities that were spawned as a result of the project had powers that even rivaled his own capabilities, and if they could manage to spawn a complete version of the Alpha-Omega Prime Unit and mass produce them? They would have enough power to reconsolidate their position as a superpower once more! Turning to Alpha 01-1, Kazuko nodded "As much as I hate to admit it, that program really did show the capabilities of our Bio-Android capabilities, I mean we produced entities that were on par with myself and Asumar's capabilities, I will give you the green light to access the schematics of Alpha-Omega Prime, let us start there and see what we can do from there." Kazuko said to Alpha 01, willing to create entities as strong as they were in order to return the Dynasty to it's pinnacle of power.

[Tomia]

Android 22 was getting tired of Katie's tricks and diversions. She was too fast to be hit by th more power ki blasts, and the other one seemed to be absorbing his energy somehow. 'Stop running and face me you cowardice bitch!" He snapped at Katie, sending smaller fa at er blasts her way. Suddenly a the girl with the ring made a huge baseball bat out of her energy and slammed it into him. 22 went flying from the attack, going across numerous city blocks until he smashed into a large office building. The building was full of workers and slowly began to collapse as its structure was taken out from beneath it.

Cora had followed his path and saw that civilians were in danger. She quickly flew back to her friends. "The android's impact has put civilians in danger. We need to help them now!" She called to her friends. She turned to Lady Lantern, "Can you give my friend a lift?" She said motioning to Valancy, before grabbing Katie in her arms herself and flying towards the crash site. It might have been a little rude, but there was no time to ask for permission.

It might have been a little rude, but there was no time to ask for permission.

"Ah, don't worry about me," she said, a bit disappointed that she hadn't had her chance at the android. Teleporting into a nearby tree, she arrived there quicker than the rest. Walking toward the building, she created several branches to, support the building and brace it up. She groaned at the weight, but kept at it. "Evacuate them, please," she shouted. "I can't hold this forever!"

-snip-

Valka chuckled, sending back her own message. "You men. So weak." she said. Tossing Mjolnir in the air, she caught it and then hurled it at the speed of light. "On your left," she said, meaning that he should catch it with his left hand.

[The Templar High Council]

-ignore meh-

[The Republic of Atria]

He broke the sacred rule of fighting. No low blows. You didn't see me kick you in the vagina did you? No, because that's not a fair fight. He asked, blasted Hercules into the air with his eye beams, caught Mjolnir with his left hand. "Never... Been so happy... To be ambidextrous." He said weakly, the pain was subsiding thanks to his healing factor. Hercules was in mid leap when he saw the cruel expression on Alex's face. Hercules couldn't read minds, but he didn't need to in order to know what Alex was going to do. It was too late to do anything to stop him. The Magic hammer was already in their air, soaring at half the speed of light into the groin of Hercules. Time seemed to slow when the hammer connected. Hercules' face was one of extreme agony and regret. The large god dropped to the ground and Alex had Mjolnir fly back to him. "All yours. You may want to clean it when you're done." He said tossing the hammer back to Valka.

He needed a moment to rest. Because his balls still hurt like hell.

Killian

A few minutes of Beerus devouring all the food later and both he and Whis were read to spar with the Speed God. "Alright then. Let's see what my fellow god knows about fighting." Beerus said as he and Whis began to fight with him. Killian made a mental note to keep checking his back to make sure he wasn't being attacked. He watched Whis' and Beerus' movements. Whis was surprised to see how quickly got into the motion of making sure his back wasn't open. "He's not that bad. A little jerky here and there, but he's a fast learner." Beerus commented.

"My turn." Killian said showing just how fast one had to be in order to be the God of Speed. Moving fast enough and between the two at such speeds that it was like both Beerus and Whis were fighting him at the same time. He even adapted his fighting style a tad to attack not just from the front, but from the side and even from behind. But despite that, Beerus and Whis were far more experienced combatants. They were able to prevent almost all of Killian's blows from connecting during the fight. After about a minute of the group Killian stopped. "Okay. Goddamn you guys are everywhere. Not gonna lie though. It's not often I'm actually challenged in a straight fight."

"You're learning." Whis said and walked towards the young god. "A few more days of this and you'll be quite the opponent. Though I have a question. I can see that you're only using the tiniest fraction of your power-"

"I'd rather not go into detail about that. Trust me it's better off just staying there. It drives me crazy and I'd much rather be a weak human than... That again. It's not worth it. By the way you stepped in... Ew. Who pooped on the floor?"

Whis looked at his foot and then chuckled. "My. It seems that I did step in poo."

[New Rnclave]

You are the chosen one, the Super Saiyan.

Only one part of that phrase was true, he was the Chosen One, but he was so much more than a Super Saiyan.

The shackles placed on his mind by Babadi since he was a child snapped one by one, nothing in comparison to the raging beast within him. A wicked smile filled his features.

The smile growing wider, Broly began to chuckle.. a chuckle which turned into something as dark and depraved as the power within him. This weakling before him thought she could hurt him? Even gods would recoil in fear of his power, the heavens themselves would shake with the power he had within him, and this was nothing to all he had, this was but a drop in an endless ocean.

Another burst of green energy burst from him, the ground around them fissuring, buildings rumbling and falling before a tiny fraction of his might. Turning his head to Claudia, his cackle became louder.

With the crimson women approaching him, Broly felt a natural response overtake him. Opening the vent of power dwelling within him, a geyser of green power exploded from him in a great gust of force, the planet quaking with his power.

To Broly, it was empowering. For the first time since he was a child, he could feel the power within him, unhindered by any limits or control. He could finally let the monster within him free. The dark power within him that had propelled him across the stars, which made him a Super Saiyan.. was a power which has been growing within him for decades now. It fed and it grew, and now it was finally being released. What it was, was so much then it had ever been before.

Ignoring the crimson girl, he strode forward, standing before the child.

" I chose my victims, Bitch," He cackled

Claudia grunted as she recovered from the blast. She got up, cracking her knuckles. She frowned. He is strong. Her first priority should be to secure Tomia. Fighting got her hurt the last time. She was going to make sure she didn't get hurt again. She had been entrusted the girl by Hiroshi after all. She quickly leaped forward again, sliding in to where she once was.

Once again between the giant and Tomia, she sent a gout of blue hot flame right into the monsters face with an outstretched palm. She then leaped back, Tomia in her arms as she frowned, her eyes searching for a place to hide the little girl. For now she kept her body wrapped around the child, ready to use her own body to defend Tomia if need be. She could heal herself. Tomia could not.

Hiroshi:

A plan, that was what they needed right now. Whoever this guy was, whoever was controlling him or giving him orders, didn't sense the dark power festering within him. The fact that this thing knew who Okarot was and was challenging his daughter and Claudia of all people, didn't help the situation any, especially if he wasn't there. And the fact that Hiroshi didn't know who or what this monster was, made the situation all the worse. What really mattered of course was that he was a maddened, cackling beast, with an energy incredibly dark.

Looking back towards Claudia, who was wrapping herself around Tomia, Hiroshi tensed as the monster stepped forward. They needed a way to get Tomia out of there and have fighters focused on this beast. Hiroshi could fight this thing, but power was angled in this beast's favor, skill and experience clearly went in his favor. Right now with Hiroshi on Namek, that eliminated him.

Turning his head, Hiroshi scanned over Moori, who had recoiled in shock when the monster had first appeared. Sure the power he felt from this thing was significant and would give him a run for his money, but it was nothing terrifying. Which meant Moori felt something they didn't, or had never felt a power like this, which honestly after Frost and Garlic Junior, he doubted.

There was a power near the building the Beast had destroyed that looked ready to fight, if they timed it right and worked in tandem, they could take this thing down-

There was a pause when Hiroshi turned to the new Elder of the Namek. The same expression Moori wore was etched across his features as well, and even in his social akwardness he knew that something was wrong. The Nameks had never been the bravest, but they'd never been cowards.

Unless they're picking up on something I'm not

" Hiroshi, if you fight that thing, you'll all die, the planet will be razed and destroyed. Please rethink your options." Moori finally said, trembling slightly.

Thats it. Off to Earth we go!

Flaring his energy, golden energy whipped up around him, lightening sparking around his form as his hair sharpened and spiked upwards. Sighing, he flared his energy more, the air before him shattering like glass before he dove through it.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

The world warped around him as jumped from planet to planet, finally arriving behind Broly, his guard raised as golden flames whipped around his frame. Steel towers rose into the sky, or some did, most looked crumpled and broken, while the wind whipped harshly at his face. But the Super Saiyan had no time to admire the city in its sorta glory, In front of him, the M marked beast began to cackle again, a stronger wave rolling off his soot covered face.

"What's wrong?" He cackled maddeningly, looking more confident and amused as he looked over Claudia " Have you never seen the true power of a Super Saiyan bitch?"

To Hiroshi, it was hardly words to incite anger.But the latter half of the sentence was cause for concern and fury. Claudia was someone he cared about, and needed to win this battle, and even if her power was incredible and fed by anger, he needed her level headed and focused to win this. Clearing his throat, Hiroshi got the giants attention.

" I'm sorry, but bitch isn't a very nice word." The words leaving his mouth as his aura exploded around him, the ground quaking as it fissured in every direction, a scowl covering his face as two twin orbs of azure energy swirled in his palms.

" I don't know who you are, but threatening my daughter and girlfriend really pisses me off prick!" With those words, the bolts shot from his palms, streaking towards the giant striding towards them. Colliding mere moments later, the landscape shook with incredible force, sending broken glass, twisted and warped steel, and chunks of concrete in every direction. The waves of force rolling collapsed a nearby skyscraper, its top breaking through the center and plummeting down through its floors. Smoke rose from the crater as Hiroshi stood stationary, staring expectantly into the crater.

When the smoke parted seconds later, Hiroshi immediately went into crisis response mode. Shifting his weight to one side, moving his arm out, he shoved Claudia aside and pulled back as the golden figure blasted between the three of them, coming in for a tackle but finding empty space instead. The tall giants legs slammed into the earth meters from them, causing a large build up a soil rock before him as the concrete cracked beneath him and the pressure he put off. The act slowed the Saiyans movement, giving him time to turn and face the trio, With a feral look spread across his features, he reached his hand out as a green orb formed in his hands, a new hill of rock forming as he moved.

When he threw his hand out, Hiroshi felt confident he could dodge the incoming blast, preparing to swat it away.. until it fractured. Hundreds of blasts scattered from one, and Hiroshi's face twisted into one of frustrated surprise. Bounding upwards, he dodged one below him, before twisting in the air like a pretzel to dodge several and swat more away from his daughter and Claudia.

The city, once a testament to human ability and success, quickly transformed into a hellish apocalyptic city scape. Green blasts rolled over around the city, sending cars, concrete, glass and warped steel in every direction. Hovering back, cautiously backing away from the looming smoke clouds, Hiroshi turned just in time to see the next attack coming. Before it could make contact, muscle memory taking over, Hiroshi spun away, smashing his palm against the monsters jaw, the Saiyan's eyes widening in pain as he flew through the glass of a shop.

[Isle of Lithonia]

Lula slowly backed away, a look of sadness on her face. "Please Jace." She spoke. "You can do this. You can fight them! You're stronger than these visions. You don't..." She saw it again, guilty welling in her as she saw what they did to her. What they did to her. The horrible things they... hurt her...

Stay.... calm... Just a dream. Not real. Not real.

A parade of her sins. Her ultimate guilt. In truth, she could have stopped this. She could have. She could have put them all to sleep and taken Jace far from there. She should have. She had been with her since the begining, even if she didn't know. But she didn't. She didn't get involved. She had just watched.

It's not real! They're gone! They're not here!

She had done much worse things to much kinder people. She could have trapped them in eternal loops of the most horrifying dreams. Broken them to her will with but a single memory... such weak minds humans had. it would have been so easy... She hated them so much too. For what they did to Jace. Special Jace. Wonderfuil Jace. They didn't deserve to exist. They...

Jace stepped closer.

Please let this stop. I... I did a bad thing. But... I'm trying to be good now.

Trying to be... good...

Trying to be good...

"Help me."

A pause. The entire dream seemed to stay still for a moment.

"Okay Jace." Lula lifted her head, her face, her eyes, her hair had changed. "I'll help." A smile was on her face. Not the same one as before. But the one of someone who had cracked.

Next was blood. So much blood.

Before Jace could turn around, the bodies of her father and her brother were now gone. What was left was a floor full of blood. Lula was back to her normal self. But she was shaking, trembling, shivering. Her white dress now soaked with blood. Though she willed it to be clean and so it was.

"They're gone." She spoke. "They may come back. But I will deal with them." She explained. She had to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing crazily. She cleaned the blood from the floor. And also the eyeball she was holding by the nerve. She turned back around to face Jace.

She was crying. Eyes full of tears. "I... I think I should go..." She spoke. "We... I... wanted to have... some fun... with... an old friend... but I ruined it... like I always do." She sniffed. Obviously very upset. She had given Jace a glimpse of her ugliest side. The one she kept hidden and bottled up under the cute dresses, the happy smile and the kindness. Trillions of years of life breeds such hate, such anger such.... horror that it was best she kept it within. In her experience, it was only a matter of time before you discovered that side of yourself. She just wished she had died before she discovered hers.

She frowned. She doubted Jace would want her around now. She waved her hand, brightening up the dream world, making it pretty and happy again. The same field. She turned to leave, but didn't. She was having trouble bringing herself to do it.

Jacelyn Grim

Pale arms wrapped gently around Lula's neck, a tall but thin body cuddling her. The whisper of a tired woman brushed through the goddess' ears. "Thank you, Lula."

Turning her around, Lula was shown the form of Jacelyn's ego, "Sharp-Teeth" as she was known to Jacelyn. A sorrowful smile marred her otherwise pretty face. "These nightmares have haunted her for so long. I tried to help her, to shield her from these horrors. Her mind is so broken and weak, she lost her grip on reality long ago. It was only possible for me to save a small portion of her sanity, and that through much pain and effort. My protection was beginning to falter, and...now you see what happens when I lose power over her."

She pulled the girl into a warm embrace, a tear streaking down her cheek. "You came just when she needed you the most. You've saved her from breaking completely. Thank you."

Taking Lula's hands, Sharp-Teeth looked deep into her eyes. "Please do not leave her now. She still needs you, for I cannot help any further. You can be the friend she needs, the support. I know you blame yourself for what has happened to her and that guilt hurts. But you must let this guilt go. What has happened cannot be changed, no matter how much you desire to do so. All that can be done is to help her now, and not leave her. It will be difficult, for I am the last of her sanity. But she is such a weak and scared girl, and if you will love her, protect her, and show her the comfort she needs, perhaps she will not be lost forever.

"Now go to her, help her through this night."

The woman's form shimmered then disappeared. But a few feet away lie Jacelyn, curled in a tight ball, softly sobbing tears of blood.

Android 22 was getting tired of Katie's tricks and diversions. She was too fast to be hit by th more power ki blasts, and the other one seemed to be absorbing his energy somehow. 'Stop running and face me you cowardice bitch!" He snapped at Katie, sending smaller fa at er blasts her way. Suddenly a the girl with the ring made a huge baseball bat out of her energy and slammed it into him. 22 went flying from the attack, going across numerous city blocks until he smashed into a large office building. The building was full of workers and slowly began to collapse as its structure was taken out from beneath it.

Cora had followed his path and saw that civilians were in danger. She quickly flew back to her friends. "The android's impact has put civilians in danger. We need to help them now!" She called to her friends. She turned to Lady Lantern, "Can you give my friend a lift?" She said motioning to Valancy, before grabbing Katie in her arms herself and flying towards the crash site. It might have been a little rude, but there was no time to ask for permission.

"Someone sounds mad." Katie remarked in a condescending voice, "Are the mean women making you upset?" Giggling as she weaved in and out of the projectiles. Though several came dangerously close. Then he was hit with a baseball bat. Then she was picked up by Cora. "Hey! What the hell!" She shouted. "I can follow the power lines myself!" She shouted. Then she sighed. "Well, while you're doing this. I might as well try something." Suddenly, Katie went inside of Cora. She was now electricity flowing through the android. Empowering her, making her faster and giving her greatly accelerated and pretty much predictive reflexes.

Never tried that before... Katie also felt empowered, having the Androids Generator to feed off gave her so much energy to work with. Her only limit being the amount she could tap into. But that could be bypassed with time. You have... a lot of energy... Remarked Katie, inhaling and exhaling.

Cora
Cora saw Valancy root herself into the ground to prop up the building. "Okay! Just hold on Valancy!" Cora called out. She saw all the people that needed to be rescued, and there was still the android to deal with, how would they have enough time for it all. Katie began yelling in Cora's arms and before Cora was even able to apologize Katie was suddenly gone. Not seconds later Cora felt something change within her body. It was as if she was given the largest energy drink of all time. She was practically buzzing she was moving so fast. She was then alarmed when she heard Katie's voice in her mind. She sounded tired. "Are you... Inside me?" Cora asked out loud. 'What happened? I feel so... powerful." She said examining her body a bit. She was clearly faster and stronger now. She didn't have time to figure out exactly what Katie had done, they needed to get to work.

Cora sped over to Kylie, moving much faster than she had before. "Lady Lantern, we need to move fast. We need to get inside and sweep the higher floors for anyone who couldn't escape." She said before speeding off into the building herself. She landed on 8th floor and quickly began grabbing hostages and bringing then toward a nearby rooftop for saftey. She was amazed at how fast she was going, and she felt incredibly relieved. She might just be able to save these people.

Suddenly however Android 22 began moving from under the rubble. That baseball bat hadn't finished him off after all. He pushed the rubble aside and looked over the collapsing building. His eyes locked on to Cora who was busily rescuing civilians. He smiled, with the others preoccupied he'd finally have an opportunity to destroy her. He speed over to her at full speed, so fast he couldn't be seen by the naked eye. He raised a powerful kick toward his head, but Cora' raised her hand with incredible speed, grabbing his leg before he could make contact. 22's eyes widened with surprise. Hwo had she done that?

Cora had impressed herself when she stopped 22's kick. She would have never had been able to do that before. It was as if she had seen it before it even happened. She smiled, knowing she had the upper hand now. "Thanks Katie, you're the best friend I've ever had." She said softly to the mutant who was currently powering her from the inside. She then raised her own leg at lightening speed, slamming it against 22's face and sending him hard to the ground. There were still civillans in the building, but she needed to deal with 22, he was too big of a threat not to. She turned to Kylie, "Lady Lantern I need your help, you have to clear out the rest of this building.we can't leave these people to die. I can't do it myself, I have to deal with the android." She said before flying toward the ground to deal with 22. She had never had people to rely on like this before. She felt like she was part of a team, and it felt amazing.

Hazzle
Hazzle was on the building when the explosions started. The city was being wrecked and he was sure at this point that Broly was the bad guy in this fight. The people involved were cleary powerful. He wasn't sure what he could do but he couldn't just stand by during all this. He flew down and landed near the large red women and the little girl, "Is there anything I can do to help? I know you don't know me, but I'm here to help. I saw what's going on. That monster has to be stopped. Do you need me to make a distraction while you get the girl out of here?"
