Dragonball M, Chapter 3: In Blood, Bone, and Ash! The Way Forward Unlocked!

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Sarada manages to punch a bunch away, then they stop as Tasure cuts the attacks off.

Which then, within the shield, blow up.

Tasure is badly injured, and Sickle seems more damaged then before as the dust dies down. The Lattice of Death Beams is gone, however.

It worked, but Tasure was hurt. It was a good thing, actually. That meant she would get stronger from this. Good; the old hag was starting to lag behind.

"Althena," Sarada back as she exploded toward Sickle, "heal Tasure. Hops, it's now or never!"

She engaged Sickle with a furious volley of punches to draw her attention away from the injured Tasure and the others. However, these were any regular punches. With each one, her aura exploded and flared, launching dozens upon dozens of energy punches in Sickle's face.

Tasure was thrown clear of the explosion--and her shield, which didn't hold up against it... but it was contained enough to damage the hybrid. She impacted the floor roughly, rolling to a stop on her side. Her breathing ragged and one eye refusing to open, all she could do was simply lay there and watch. Thankfully, she noticed that the queen had managed to go gold again. Between that and the damage she'd just inflicted... things were lookin' good. Much better than the shape she was in, judging from the pain all throughout her body.

Totally worth it.

"Hehe... kick her ass, your highness," she said, weakly, though loud enough for Sarada to hear.

The Namekian regen the hybrid has starts almost immediately as she shifts and starts engaging Sarada. The hybrid surprisingly matches Sarada blow for blow, not caring for the energy explosions their fists caused. At times Sarada would start getting tail slapped as well, as the tail extends and retracts, adding a third limb to punch Sarada essentially. Between the two, the Saiyan was losing.

A tendril lashes out and eats the mini-Sasheem even as the horse mouth opens wide and wide, a sucking sensation coming from it as Sasheem is drawn towards its mouth.

Somebody else fell down the hole, somebody Sasheem didn't recognize, but he had no time to worry about that! This thing was drawing him in closer. But at least bow he had a clear shot to take another hit at the creature.

Using his Magical Materialization, Sasheem summons another magically explosive object directly in front of him. A twenty ton weight, letting that get drawn into the Nuckalevee's maw first.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Because of Zaofan, Marshub suddenly plummets into the hole just as Parsley starts draining his magic, the fused Oni held in place between the two floors as the Woven Path and Sorcerers Folly meet and merge into a new, duel technique.

This was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Zaofan kept Marshub pinned to the ground, giving Parsley all the time and freedom she needed to drain his magic. And she intended to drain him dry. She glanced behind her to check on Ishtar. Still charging.

She wasn't sure how much longer Zaofan could hold, so whatever Ishtar planned on doing needed to be done immediately. Sasheem was by himself and his power had dropped considerably since the beginning of the fight. Tch. Damnit.

OOC: Can I get a PL for Marshub? Parsley adds a 1/4 of his to her own for the next attack, if she chooses to do so.

For the first time Baric takes real injury, as the horse head explodes. Slowly the tattered head starts pulling itself back together.

However, the human torso with its broken neck turn tirade Sasheem, a green fire alight in its dead eyes. The blade in its hand snakes out, extending, and impales Sasheem. Where it impales rot starts eating the majin away, his regen unable to heal the damage.

[MrSandman]

The room Erosa erupts into is large, with massive katchin like pillars dotting the area, holding up a vast ceiling a hundred feet up. Computer banks, lab stations, desks with all sorts of bits and bobs adorn the large room.

Standing with their back turned to them some two hundred feet away is The Doctor, whisking something together. All around him, guarding, are the rest of the mechanical hounds.

Who all open fire at Erosa with smaller versions of the large guns, popping from their mouths, that the large mecha used.

Erosa charges forward, not giving any heed to the monumental force between her and her target. Gunfire, from hundreds of guns, emerging from hundreds of robots....all focused upon a single point. With sickening brutality the rain of destruction cut through the primal Id body.

The id never stood a chance, her form tore to pieces.......pieces that evaporated into nothing.

Just before the Id had reached the door, before she had even trigger Thantos drive....she had activated the second stage of Hunter/Killer, a replica taking her place in the mad dash to enter the chamber....and in return had been the one to receive the unwelcome attention in her stead.

Erosa, the true Erosa, with her stealth and speed still available to her....slipped past the onslaught, past the gunfire and the minions, and cut a lightning path straight for the doctor. Searing claws ignited in a flash as she aimed a decapitating blow for the doctor neck.

This hybrid abomination was working her nerves. Instead of crumpling under her fierce assault like it was supposed to, it was fighting back. And winning! Die, damn you! That damned tail was giving it the edge. Well, it wasn't the only with a fifth appendage.

Her own tail unfurled from around her waist and wrapped itself around her knife like in the old days. Then, in conjunction with her attacks, it lashed out like a scorpion's tail, peppering Sickle with cuts and stabs wherever it could reach.

All the while, she started to channel ki into her right hand.

However, the human torso with its broken neck turn tirade Sasheem, a green fire alight in its dead eyes. The blade in its hand snakes out, extending, and impales Sasheem. Where it impales rot starts eating the majin away, his regen unable to heal the damage.

****....at this rate, Sasheem's gonna lose his a huge chunk of his current power. Even if he survives at all it looks like he has no choice.

Sasheem suddenly spits put a pod as he's being eaten away, the pod growing in size as it phases through the ceiling and reaches the upper floor, an unconscious P-Sta inside.

"I think not, demon!" came the voice of Nevanlinna. Above the beast were two of the threshling princess, each with an energy ball. Thrusting the attacks forward, they flew towards the demon, spiraling into each other and combining into one large attack--her Ether Strike!



She had been biding her time, waiting to lend her aid--mostly healing--when possible, but it seemed that now was as good as any.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Sasheem, you survive as Baric’s sword withdraws under the explosions caused by the Threshling Princess.

Baric, looking injured, horse head still healing, instead turns his attention towards Neva instead, ignoring the wounded majin.

The knife blows heal over almost as quickly as Sarada can make them. Sickle starts pushing her back, landing more blows.

The blow lands!

And her hand shatters, bones breaking as the blow does literally nothing.

The Doctor doesn’t even deign to turn around and look as Erosa, just keeps working on his welding.

Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000.

Nevanlinna grinned. "Oh? You seek to engage me in battle now? Very well."

The two Nevanlinna's shot off in opposite directions, curved around, and tried to catch the demon in a pincer attack--the real one with a Blade of Auroc-enhanced sword slash, and the copy with an Aura of Fire-empowered punch. She wasn't the strongest one here, by any means, but the others had done admirable work softening it up, and she was fresh and uninjured, after all.
