Dragonball M, Chapter 2: Lighthouse! Across the Shores of Shattered Time!

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

As power gathered in her hand, Glacia felt the pressure of a hand slap down upon her lower arm. There was no warning, no approach, Etrina was just....there, A look a absolute hatred pouring from her red eyes.

No sooner did she have her hand around her arm did Etrina channel her ice magic and freeze the arm at the root....jerking it immediately afterwards with the intend to snap the frozen limb off completely.

Glacia’s arm bends unnaturally, her Threshling biology allowing her some malability of her limbs. The arm bends and points right at Etrina, the ice melting off as the heat of the attack protects her. The powerful blast releases, taking Etrina almost point blank in the chest and launching her backwards, doing quite a bit of damage.

Parsley's teeth clenched into a determined glower. The creature had transformed into a massive wolf... thing, far larger than any Oozaru. While this posed a great threat, they still had speed and maneuverability on their side. A creature this size could only move so fast, after all.

'Aim for its legs. Keep it off-balance.' Her nullification wouldn't keep up for much longer, so the next several moments were critical. 'If you have any techniques to keep him grounded, its time to use them.'

She fired her Void Beam at its feet, making it curl upward toward its waist so the ensuing shock-wave could damage its legs.

OOC: Nullification Effect: -60%

Jack floats up, looking curiously at the thing as he smokes a cigarette.

“Well...that doesn’t seem good.”

He begins powering up an attack even as Parsley’s fails to do any damage to Haru.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

He’s gone.

Wolf’s Prowl and his speed has increased by 3x.

He is suddenly right behind her, hand placed flat in the middle of her back. He pushes her forward several feet.

“Careful.”

Fuck, now there was this shit.

Sarada stumbled forward, but caught herself before she fell over. She was quick to turn around, but didn't have any time to waste. Her aura flared and her power nearly doubled as Saiyan Soul burst into effect. The crimson ki of Scarlet Feverenveloped her hands as she again attempted to overwhelm Balon.

OOC: Saiyan Soul active. Current PL: 1,968,750 for 1 post.

Jack floats up, looking curiously at the thing as he smokes a cigarette.

“Well...that doesn’t seem good.”

He begins powering up an attack even as Parsley’s fails to do any damage to Haru.

Parsley narrowed her eyes, but didn't respond. Unless she was wrong, the tail should have been its weak spot. Cutting it off should have reversed the transformation and left him bereft of energy. Unless the Doctor knew of that particular flaw in the Oozaru transformation and made steps to correct it. Even then, they were running out of options, and their own advantage was about to run out.

"Whatever you're about to do, do it. I'll follow," she told Jack. With that, she flitted around the creature, attempting to distract it with several energy blasts and get behind it so she could analyze its tail with Observational Focus.

Haru’s eyes glow brighter and brighter, bluntz waves channeled inwards as his body transforms rapidly. His Promethean dna allowing the normal slow saiyan transformation to go much more rapidly, plus the Wolf part adding an animality to it.

A massive bipedal Wolf creature, bigger than any transformed saiyan, stands before them. It’s massive jaws and claw glinting in the sun.

Sasheem spits some of his Venom Mist at the caranel candy shield, causing it to begin to bubble and melt like into a tan ooze. The Majin then swooped over with the tainted candy and began to wrap the wolf-Saiyan in it, hoping the caramel's venomous coating would affect him as much as tainted he candy itself would slow him down.

The powerful blast releases, taking Etrina almost point blank in the chest and launching her backwards, doing quite a bit of damage.

Etrina flies back, clutching at her chest and letting out an inhuman scream as her foci flanked and brought up shields. The mage glared daggers....then smiled maliciously.

Gesturing with her free arm, several tendrils of energy lance out at her....the mage attempting to drain her life via vitalmancy to repair her own wound and sap her strength.

-15% PL if successful.

Glacia did something interesting.

Dodging the blast, she takes the ring off the one hand, sliding it on the other and with a savage jerk, tears the infected arm off so Ishtar’s katchin cannot harm her.

The wound seals over and slowly begins healing and regrowing.

Ishtar watches this act of desparation, and as the arm is ripped away the Katchin inside tears free and returns to her. A look of annoyance coloring the Oni's face as she offers a single. "Tch."

After the woman slams back down into the Lookout and begins charging however, Ishtar breaks into a sprint ...

Glacia’s arm bends unnaturally, her Threshling biology allowing her some malability of her limbs. The arm bends and points right at Etrina, the ice melting off as the heat of the attack protects her. The powerful blast releases, taking Etrina almost point blank in the chest and launching her backwards, doing quite a bit of damage.

... and the moment Glacia turns her back, Ishtar slides in and opens up with a point-blank burst of Void Energy, the volatile energy causing the beam to explode no sooner than it had left Ishtar's hands.

The Majin then swooped over with the tainted candy and began to wrap the wolf-Saiyan in it, hoping the caramel's venomous coating would affect him as much as tainted he candy itself would slow him down.

Praxat jumps in the fray again after hiding behind a wall to consume poisonous insects and inhales , as she expands a special muscle in her body that looks like a human diaphragm with specialize glands contain within it covert the toxin fluid store in it from the poisonous insects Praxat had consume into poisonous gas, as well as alter the chemical composition, and releases that gas though out her body causing her to inflate like a balloon, as she goes form be 5'6" to 8 feet due to the expansion. Praxat then gives a thumbs up . " Okay my poisonous gas is ready to go again, if only there was poisonous insect on Earth that was exactly like the one from my home planet I could refilling my specialize muscle with said toxin much quicker! really need to figure out a way to refilled this specialize muscle of mine faster and constantly with said toxin because consume a bunch of poisonous insects just isn't going to cut it!" Praxat said over the telepathic link


Praxat then releases her second batch of poison gas that she enhances with Ki at Haru as he is being wrapped in venomous coated caramel. as she does she deflates like before until she's back to her normal form and size. Praxat then checks her pockets for poisonous insects. " Shit I'm out a fuel, Wait a second I have idea , Hey Sasheem give me some candy coating with venom, I'm going to test if I can use you Venom Mist as fuel for the poison glands contain within my specialize muscle called a Toxphragm ! " Praxat said over the telepathic link

Praxat then gets ready to jump into the air. as she does her legs compressed so much that it looks like the lower part legs just collapse into upper part of her legs. Then her lower part of her legs just to seem to spring forth from the upper part of her legs and she blasts into the air like a rocket. After jumping into the air she uses Flash Hop in order to dodge any incoming attacks.


" Sasheem if my idea works it will allowed me to unleashed a third batch of poisonous gas at Haru. Once he's disoriented I'm going to fry his ass with method called Induction Heating! " Praxat said over the telepathic link.

Rutaba tumbled back when kicked in the head. Everything started to get fuzzy and blurry, but she shook it off and got back to her feet. "Criminals," she answered. Her arms crossed in front of her to block the barrage of punches. Even still, she was being noticeably pushed back. "Everyone is desperate there, but they steal and take things from hard-working people."

Everyone is valiant and prepared where victory is assured. What did that mean? She knew that valiant meant brave. Of course she was brave; she had justice and the truth on her side! How could she fail?

"All heroes are valiant because they have truth on their side." She had been spending the last several moments testing the speed of his jabs until she felt she had its measure. When one fist was drawn back, soon to be followed by the other, she suddenly dashed back so he would hopefully over-extend himself, then dashed forward and into his guard for a punch to the midsection. "What have we to fear from criminals?"

With this answer, the corner of Ochazuke's mouth rose in a small smile. /Adaptation/. She'd gotten a read on the obstacle in her path, through persistence she found her means to cross the gap.

Very good. But...

"You fear nothing, because you've always won."

As she moved in, his features seemed to soften. Slowly, his eyes, contented, sunk and closed their lids as she took the fight to him. "The truth?"

Shifting forward, he smashed his elbow into the middle of Rutaba's fist. For the first time in the spar, he moved his other hand. In the space of a blink the effort was shot down.

"Justice is not a performance. It is a delicate balance."

The previous rhythm has been broken. Ochazuke squared his stance, palms spread before him.

"A scale weighed between the rule of man, and the rule of law."

Young, but a born Saiyaness nonetheless, within the combat another dilemma rendered itself before Rutaba. Her hand stalled, she stood exposed. The momentary opening she found was lost as Ochazuke's hands rose, and the very real threat from two sides began to manifest.

"A man without law is beholden to nothing. He aspires to nothing greater than the power he holds before him and brings to bear over others," he said.

Two angles. The left hand rose, the right shoulder sank. A subtle, shadowed change came over the spar. The shadow of death.

"It is a brutish and fitful existence, Filled with a criminal desperation that beggars belief, a primal malice sprung from self-interest, before its ultimately short end. You know this well."

Now it changed to an in-fight. Controlling the centre-line and the distance, he threw a simultaneous double-punch at the little hero's face and abdomen.

[Tami]

Hissing, Spidus’ body lurched unnaturally forward, breaking the psychic match and lashing out with a massive barrage of strikes.

The only thing that spared her from serious injury was having watched the Spidus fight earlier. She doubted that he had as good a read on her qand she did on him, and if so that gave her the advantage.

As soon as the psychic connection broke, Spidus lunged for her. As soon as he did, she leaped backwards, then began to evade the strikes. Moving gracefully, she danced just out of reach of each hit. As she moved, her speed continued to increase.

Then, suddenly, there were two Meagans. Spidus slashed at one and ended up slicing through thin air. As he did, the other Meagan launched a flying leap kick then a series of and flurry kicks to his side, all while moving at high speed. Her goal was to push Spidus back towards the edge of the arena.

Whatever momentum Rutaba had going for her was snuffed out instantly by a simple elbow. Ochazuke's off-arm bent and met her fist halfway, stopping it cold in its tracks.

A more experienced fighter would have known immediately that she was in danger and would have taken steps to remove herself from the situation to reassess and regroup. Rutaba, on the other hand, had only just started her formal training a year ago, and thus hadn't developed the fighting instinct of her much older cousins. She didn't recognize the shift in Ochazuke's body position until it was too late to escape. She saw the double punch and moved to defend, but could only defend the one from above.

The upper punch pushed her guard back into her face. The lower knocked the wind clean out of her and threw her off her feet. She landed hard on her back.

The comments he made while attacking registered finally. She didn't know what any of that meant. All she knew was that criminals were bad and needed to be sent to prison so they could learn from their actions and become better people!

She knew that they were desperate. Being unemployed and hungry did that. But, everyone struggled in the Meat Market, yet criminal activity wasn't as rampant as one would expect. What led to this so-called malice that led men to break the law and menace their neighbors? Wasn't this rule of man the same as the rule of law?

She struggled to her knees, breathing heavily in an attempt to catch her breath. "Lawless... people don't... care," she wheezed softly. "That...'s why we... take them... off the streets. So good people... can feel safe."

Watching the Fight on the TV at the Lookout Qaztoh waves her hands in the air. " Yes that it's show that spidey thingy a thing or two Meagan! Wait now there's two Meagan's on screen , Ah I see the other Meagan was a optical illusion , Yay way to go Meagan, kick his ass! Meagan Rules , Spidey thingy drools ! Come on Dash and Cyanna let's cheer for Meagan!" Qaztoh said as a excited emoji appear in her pendant

[Miburo]

Chris shrugs.

“Close enough.”

He pops open Althena’s cell door.

“I don’t trust Incenio, and neither does my group. We figure a bit of....recon would be advisable. You two in?” He says to Althena and Held.

" Yeah I'm in " Althena said. however even though Chris hears Althena he can't see due to her basically blend in to the walls of her cell while masking her body heat , scent and not casting a shadow.

“Good. And you, Nevadian?”

So hasty....She really is the type to leap before she looks, isn't she?

The Nevadian paused as he considered his options. Leaving Athena and Chris alone seemed to be a poor option, especially if Held took him at his word about working with a group. Their motives were not entirely clear after all, and having this particular goal shared, did not mean that their plans would not come to clash with one another, sooner, or later.

The Toadian did not seem to have the wherewithal to Navigate the complexities of this sort of situation at first glance, if her getting locked up in the first place was any indication.

"Good Grief..." Held said with a reluctant sigh, dropping his drunkard persona, "I suppose it'd be more trouble at this juncture to refuse, than to go along, won't it? If you've gone through the trouble of saving Althena and bugging Incenios room, it's too much to hope you'd call it quits because I asked politely..."

And it's not like I could risk a scuffle at this point even if I thought that was best....At his level it wouldn't be easy, and I doubt either of us wants to risk drawing attention.

He glanced at the Mercenary, appraising him.

"I'll play along... although I will ask what your game is. Don't take it the wrong way; I just like to know if I'm taking a bigger risk than I signed up for."

I'll just have to hope Blizzar is a master of distraction.

Althena reveals herself to Chris the Knife as she turns off her camouflage. " Held I can that see that Blizzar is doing something with Incenio by looking though his eyes . I know you're wonder Held why I didn't just busted out of this Cell myself and take out those two guards or take them out before they even put me in here , Well it's because it goes against my principles. there's two guards were just doing their jobs I saw no reason to attack them , I will not give in to the greatest of the four poisons of Mahtoesa Hetto no Hwe-Atkam , wrath!

Althena uses her tongue to grab her pendant from her pocket and puts it around her almost non existing neck. " Now I have something to tell you Chris the Knife if you try any funny business I will be force to confront you. So can you and your group be trusted or is my selflessness going to be taking for granted?" Althena said.

with a quick examination it's obvious that Althena's has a more sturdy build than Toadian fighter Toadil , and underneath her robe she is visually muscular with not much body fat . It's obvious she has want is called a mesomorph body type. Unlike Toadil's claw like fingers Althena's have suction pads on them and they are not webbed. her feet have are webbed , also have suction pads and dull claws.

other thing is that her mouth is filled with rows of razor sharp teeth that are clearly visible. Then there is her platinum color skin with golden spots and her silver eyes with star shape pupils. What she is wearing underneath her robe is a purple spandex that matches the color scheme of her body.

By looking at Althena's hands and feet it's clearly that she's adapted to living in a swamp with a dense forest having hands design for climbing , and feet design for swimming , climbing and digging.

Avoca, Pinach, and Rutaba were stacked on top of each other - in order from bottom to top - with their heads just barely poked out of the door leading to the Plaza were the intense battle with Glacia was taking place.

"Wow! So exciting!" Pinach cheered.

They saw that Erosa nearly got her head blown off, but she seemed to be okay, so it was all good. Besides, people died all the time in battle, and with the dragonballs, she could be wished back if she did pass on.

"That frosty looks fucky," Avoca grumbled. A frost demon with hair was a sight that no living being should have been subjected to. Also, her leotard made them all realize something. Something harrowing.

Frost Demons were walking around completely naked.

Nudity wasn't something that bothered Saiyans, but the idea that Arcosians were talking around their their dicks and balls swinging around was vomit-inducing.

"What's Mr. Ochazuke doing?" Rutaba could feel the power funneling into him. "Oooh."
