Dragonball M, Chapter 4: Kidnapping! Invasion! A new Threat Strikes First!

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

"Wait!" Sasheem shouted, warping over to the fleeing Majin, reaching out to grab his cranium before he escaped. "You claimed you were my superior. We both pulled the same trick even, absorbing an ally and look who's running away with his tail between his legs!"

Sasheem briefly recalled the vision he'd been given in Hilda's divinations. And scoffed. He controlled fate, not the other way around. "You're not even worth absorbing. Turn..." Washer stated, his antennae glowing as the blasted out at Auroc. "...Into ice cream!"

Auroc laughs as the blast bounces off him and back at Sasheem.

“That doesn’t work on me!”

He blasts upwards, fleeing the world, but not before he drops a massive mouth blast onto of Sasheem and blasts him down into the conflagration of meteors obliterating The Maven.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Only half, it was better than none of them, but it wasn't enough for her liking. Parsley watched, just for a brief second, with bated amusement as Auroc attempted to escape the trap she ensnared him in. For the moment, he was preoccupied, which allowed her the time to deal with the remaining meteors. After a moment of thinking, she knew exactly what to do.

It was an ability she saw the long dead Ishtar perform at times, enough that she felt comfortable mimicking it.

Perfect Intuition - Pṛthivīpatnī

Ishtar's ability to control stone and sand as if it was an extension of her own body. Perfect, Parsley felt, for stopping a severely reduced meteor shower that was still threatening to destroy this world. "It's unfortunate," she murmured. "You would have delighted to kill this pretender. You'll have to settle for this." She let out a bellow and pushed her SSJ2 power to its limit. Her aura roared to life like a golden star in the pitch black backdrop of space. She pushed her hands forward, using Ishtar's technique to snatch control of as many of the meteors as she could.

With the barrage from the remaining Threshling allies and the other M-Fighters, Parsley has enough oomph left to stop about half the remaining meteors.

But she’ll be capped then.

OT: About 5 to 10% of the total meteor storm remains.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

The orb does follow, seemingly curving and drawing Inanna’s shots into itself.

Inanna smirked.

Delightful.

Knowledge obtained, the former Oni altered her trajectory and ran straight at Genesis.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Dash, Praxat, you’ve destroyed another five percent of the meteors, but both of you are tapped out by now.

[Tami]

Praxat quickly catches up to Dash as she blasts the meteors in her way to dust. Dash would notice the extensive damage on Praxat legs caused by Praxat using 60% of her elastic energy to boost her speed.

Seeing Praxat approach, Dash calls to her, "Prax, stop following me! There are plenty of rocks falling all over the place. Ah'm fine here, you go an get the rocks over there." She motions to another part of the sky.

Dash, Praxat, you’ve destroyed another five percent of the meteors, but both of you are tapped out by now.

Just as she tries to steer Prax in a different direction, she can feel her energy wain. "Ah, forget about it. Ah'm goin down." With that, she changes course, heading down, landing in an open area.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Inanna smirked.

Delightful.

Knowledge obtained, the former Oni altered her trajectory and ran straight at Genesis.

Genesis stands there, the orb trailing Inanna. Inanna will see Genesis hold a hand up, preparing to unleash something.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Genesis stands there, the orb trailing Inanna. Inanna will see Genesis hold a hand up, preparing to unleash something.

Smirk never wavering, Inanna simply stabs herself in the side all the while counting to barrel down on Genesis.

Smirk never wavering, Inanna simply stabs herself in the side all the while counting to barrel down on Genesis.

A slight frown covers her face as Genesis clinches her out held hand, causing the orb to shoot up towards Inanna at incredible speeds.

Praxat lands down on the ground next to Dash as her eyes stop rapidly flicking blue with electricity. Praxat's legs immediately give out from the extensive damage done to them by Praxat using 60% of her elastic energy, and Praxat collapses to her knees. " I was just worried about you, Dash," Praxat said in a tone of that of a big sister.

[KingofPie]

Auroc laughs as the blast bounces off him and back at Sasheem.

“That doesn’t work on me!”

He blasts upwards, fleeing the world, but not before he drops a massive mouth blast onto of Sasheem and blasts him down into the conflagration of meteors obliterating The Maven.

Sasheem falls like a shooting star when it with the blast, but upon phisical contact with the meteor, he activated his Counter Warp (Burning Shingan), instantly weep mg away and leaving a trail of explosive embers to take care of the meteor he came into contact with.

He scanned the area, looking to gain sights of Auroc once again.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

With the barrage from the remaining Threshling allies and the other M-Fighters, Parsley has enough oomph left to stop about half the remaining meteors.

But she’ll be capped then.

OT: About 5 to 10% of the total meteor storm remains.

It still wasn't enough.

Parsley tsked, then sighed. "It'll have to do."

The vast majority of the meteors under her control, she grunted and pulled them away from the planet. Auroc, she could sense, was somehow still alive. Not for long. She smashed the meteors together, melding and coalescing them together and condensing the messy combination into a massive, solid, singular mass that would soon be far more destructive than even the sum of its parts could accomplish.

Perfect Intuition - Cardinal Touch

Using her sister's technique, she infused her ki into the mass until the entire thing turned into a scarlet-glow ball of pure devastation. Auroc's cowardice would be his undoing, and she would delivering that reckoning by means of his own admittance.

She quickly sliced her arm open and gathered enough blood to create a field of oxygen that would allow her to breath in space for a short time. She would only need a few moments to bring death to the false god.

Death in hand, Parsley shot upward and into space, dragging the coalesced storm behind her. Auroc, you admitted you had never been this close to death before. Perhaps she should have likened yourself a prophet instead of a god. She grunted silently and hurled the soon-to-explode death ball at the fleeing god.

Death of the False God

[grampagen]

The blow lands as Mauroc is busy blasting the reversed gravity meteors apart. The blow pierces Mauroc, who freezes in place.

And then the rest of the meteors he hadn’t blasted apart slam into the Maven, killing her instantly.


The Man in White, however, senses....something. At the last second, he sees a faint...shadow of something shoot into the sky, heading up.

Auroc is getting away.

"...hrrkkh...ppPPFFFTT--!!" Were it not for the rather dire gravity of the situation, he'd have allowed himself an extended period of laughter. As it was, the best he'd managed was a stifled chuckle as he sped toward the distal end of his weapon.

Picking up speed, he'd soon entered the atmosphere of the planet.

Suppose it can't be helped. Sighing, he inverted himself, planting his feet on one of the meteors that Parsley had slowed. We'll have to go for broke, won't we?

As he seized the burning blue energy column, he carved a small trench where he rotated it from the ground, lifting it up, tilting its axis with one hand.

With the other, he laid two fingers on his wrist for a brief count.

Not much time left. Gotta make sure this goes through. Focusing all the strength he could, drawing it into himself, the Man in White concentrating in putting everything he had into this weapon.

Ishiki Toei. The energy projection began to grow, turning the katchin bo staff's circumference into a swelling column.

Kaiten. The blue aura, burning white, began to twist and coil upon itself, and once it had cleared the ground, it began to stretch across the horizon.

"Wait!" Sasheem shouted, warping over to the fleeing Majin, reaching out to grab his cranium before he escaped. "You claimed you were my superior. We both pulled the same trick even, absorbing an ally and look who's running away with his tail between his legs!"

Sasheem briefly recalled the vision he'd been given in Hilda's divinations. And scoffed. He controlled fate, not the other way around. "You're not even worth absorbing. Turn..." Washer stated, his antennae glowing as the blasted out at Auroc. "...Into ice cream!"

Auroc laughs as the blast bounces off him and back at Sasheem.

“That doesn’t work on me!”

He blasts upwards, fleeing the world, but not before he drops a massive mouth blast onto of Sasheem and blasts him down into the conflagration of meteors obliterating The Maven.

From the surface of Reshlan, Auroc would soon escape the collective efforts of those he'd enraged to once again cultivate his power among the stars. From this high up, the hellish rain of meteors littering reentry made it appear as if the entire surface of the planet was on fire, and the Proto-Majin Godling would only see a shining path forward.

How odd that the sun was rising from the West.

Quite a bit past mid-day.

This close to escaping the planet's surface.

A line of falling meteors ceased their descent as across the hemisphere something bright surged upwards as they parted the clouds. These shooting stars were smashed apart as the energy column stole further upward toward heaven. A monumentous energy construct dragged through the space debris as it arced upward, and it was swiftly sweeping up underneath Auroc.

Standing at the fulcrum point below, The Man in White laughed madly as he turned the energy-guilded staff into a beam of light intent on smashing into Auroc.

"You caught these hands once. Now try All Ten!," he shouted into the ether, as the swirling, miles-long latitude of energy tore upwards from the globe below, intent on smashing Auroc directly into the sun.

GATTAI-GATTAI HEAVENLY TURNING STAFF!*

Praxat lands down on the ground next to Dash as her eyes stop rapidly flicking blue with electricity. Praxat's legs immediately give out from the extensive damage done to them by Praxat using 60% of her elastic energy, and Praxat collapses to her knees. " I was just worried about you, Dash," Praxat said in a tone of that of a big sister.

Taking a seat on the ground next to her, Dash give a tired laugh and a shake of her head, then a smile, "Ah didn't think about that. Thanks. Ah just hope the others can handle things." She then frowns and slams a fist into the ground, dirt flying upwards, "Ah can't believe we couldn't keep up. Ah knew we needed more training." she placed her hands on the ground, "Ah can't just sit here an do nothin. Ah'll stay until you get your legs back, then ah want to get up and see whats' goin on."

[KingofPie]

“You and the Goddess call him a fool. Interesting. Auroc of Taltok, former servant of Sakin, is probably the oldest mortal being in this universe, give it take a few years. His knowledge is most likely unparalleled, and he has seen terrors and wonders uncountable. Greedy, short sighted, yes. A fool? Had I not intervened he would have what he wanted from Sarada, after all.”

Sasheem felt the energy signature of Parsley. He knew she could only have one target. He gritted his teeth and tossed a Samehada out. "Samehada...on Crimson Wings! the shark fin shaped slice sprouted burning red wings from its sides, which the Majin leaped atop of as it blasted into Reshlan's cosmos.

“I know much of him, his history and past. He was created to serve, an experiment in a new life form. From him many majins were perfected. In some ways Auroc is the mold you would have been created from, Sasheem. A progenitor of sorts.”

“As to my comment, most think Majin’s simple minded. You are not.”

Sasheem boosted behind himself with a crimson heat wave, as well as catching his Mamba-Tobashi- Boost to increase his speed even further.

The chanting and music abruptly stops. A loud sigh is heard from the throne.

“Be silent, little cousin. The grown ups...are talking.”

Auroc’s voice seems....different.

"HEY! AUROC! ...KNOW YOUR GODDAMN ROLE!" His voice echoed, as he activated the Lion School technique, RESOUNDING ROAR, THE KING'S CALL! His voice was bellowing kid enough to distort the dimensions around him, amplifying his physical attacks as if he were attacking at multiple angles at once, except now a spiralling burning aura surrounded his hand, as he unleashed...

“Would you prefer third rate copy?”

EYES OF THE BEAST LORDS: LION-PHOENIX FIST! the burning strike, pushing Auro c further into Reshlan's sun, the younger man in paying no need to his own safety.

"....and shut your mouth," he panted heavily, with a smirk.

[Yun Lao]

OOC: Hey Cleric, just how many of the cylinders are still sticking out from Genesis?
