<blockquote data-quote="India Actual" data-source="post: 2756" data-attributes="member: 80"><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px">Chapter 8: (Part 12)</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Concurrently, the short statured Shihori was entangled in a physical melee with the tremendous Maida. Shihori and Maida were trading blows in mid-air, the small rabbit eared Super Saiyan was much quicker than her opponent but keeping the battle in mid-air limited her ability to effectively use her sword techniques to maximum effect. In such close quarters she could only maneuver so much to gain the necessary momentum to put power behind her attacks. Maida swung at her again after she backed off from her last attack, her eyes quickly followed the punch as it came for her. She noticed his body position was too off center to be fully committed to such a telegraphed punch. Her suspicions were realized when the true attack came in the form of a front kick from his lead leg. She slapped her free hand down onto his leg as it traveled toward her body, she experienced some of the force in her arm but that was better than catching that massive boot dead-on. She needed to move in closer and fast, she spring boarded off the massive leg using it as a base to kick off and come straight into him for an attack. She slashed her blade diagonally across his exposed chest, the blade barely cutting into his skin with the amount of power she was able to put behind her stroke. Maida was proving difficult to take on head to head, but she needed to persevere for her father. He scoffed at the wound he received on his chest, “Is that it? You’re proving to be more of a disappointment than I thought!” Maida came across with his other arm before she could make a clean get away and latched onto her exposed leg. Shihori was swung around like a rag doll as he prepared to beat her off the only solid object that he had access to, his other fist. She dangled upside down and tried to right herself by taking swings at the arm that had a hold of her leg, but the attacks only left flesh wounds on his tough skin. She was pounded off his fist which caused her head to spin wildly, she thought for a moment that she would lose consciousness, but she barely managed to hang on. As Maida swung her around for another attack, Shihori pulled her sword in close to her body and as she felt herself arc over, she pressed it straight out above her head. The point of the sword embedded itself into Maida’s opposite forearm, he winced in pain as blood was cleanly drawn from the piercing wound to his arm. Shihori raised her power significantly for a moment, her hair growing out longer and her eyes shifting a more defined and focused appearance. Having transformed into Super Saiyan 3, she took her chance now and let go of the sword that she impaled into his arm. She projected her hands outward with the thumbs and index fingers meetings while the other fingers remained splayed open, “Kyūbiko-ha!” A golden beam was shot out from her hands at point blank range. It collided with him and managed to take a chunk out of his side that was about the size of one of Shihori’s fists. It managed to do the trick as he let her go while he writhed in pain, she grabbed onto her sword and flipped around onto his forearm. She pulled the sword free in one swift jerking motion, blood spraying up onto her clothing and white body armor. She back flipped off his arm back into mid-flight and took a defensive posture against him.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">A familiar voice called out behind her from a distance, her sensitive hearing swore she heard Goten calling out to her, “Shihori!!” She turned her head slightly to the source of the noise and did indeed see both Goten and Trunks flying in her direction in quite a hurry. Maida managed to cauterize his own injury on his abdomen by expelling some of his own energy to seal the wound. The noise of him doing so and his stifled whimpers of pain caught her attention again, she narrowed her eyes at his persistence, “You really don’t know when to quit do you?” She held up her free hand with a glowing white ball of energy, it was an attack seldom utilized by her but one that she learned had learned from a great master of the technique, her mother. She pitched the white orb in his direction and just before it contacted him it exploded it in a blinding white flash, “Be right back, dick weed!” Maida suffered the full force of the attack and clenched his eyes tight as the searing white light washed out his vision. Shihori powered down from Super Saiyan 3 to Super Saiyan to conserve energy while she took off in flight leaving a golden streak of energy in her wake.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">She soon met up with Goten and Trunks in mid-air, both boys were out of breath and seemed to be in a hurry to reach her. “Hey guys, I’m glad you’re both okay. Mind giving me a hand with this asshole?” She thumb-pointed over her shoulder at Maida who was searching the immediate area for any sign of her while his vision was still affected by her attack. Trunks mirrored her own gesture to draw her attention to the giant rampaging ape not far behind them, “We’ve got bigger problems right now.” Shihori’s blue-green eyes went wide with bewilderment as she caught sight of the giant rampaging golden ape, “What the f*#@ is that thing?!” Goten nervously rubbed the back of his head nervously because he didn’t know how to put it, “Well, you see thing is, Shihori, it’s your dad.” Her eyes snapped back over to Goten when he made that proclamation, her mouth was hanging open in shock, “But how?! What the fu-” Trunks gave her nothing more than a shrug but Goten sighed as he best tried to sum things up for her, “Something made him transform, we don’t know what exactly but I know it has something to do with his tail or at least so I was told by Mister Piccolo.” Trunks crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, “He’s lost all sense of himself right now. He doesn’t recognize anyone, so he tried to attack us, but boy he sure did a number on that cyborg guy.” Trunks whistled as he was impressed by the vaporizing effects Korian’s attack had on him. Goten put his hands on Shihori’s shoulders to focus her attention on him. She was still in shock by all the information being laid on her all at once, but Goten’s touch immediately got her attention, she looked at his hands touching her and then back up to his eyes. His blue green Super Saiyan eyes focused on her and a gentle, compassionate tone was taken on in his voice, “You’re his daughter, I know you can reach him if you try.” Shihori slightly blushed from Goten laying his hands on her, “Alright, I’ll do whatever it takes.” Goten let her go and she stepped back to sheath her sword at her hip in a precise and calculated manner. Trunks tapped Goten on the arm before he turned his attention back to Shihori, “We’ll handle the big dumb one. Go save your dad.” Goten nodded to her reassuringly and she replied in kind with a nod of her own. She focused on the giant ape as he drew closer to them. The forest fire was beginning to spread out in all directions from his rampaging around. Korian was smashing his hands into burning trees and tossing them hundreds of yards into pristine forest. This managed to spread the wildfire even further than what it had already consumed. It was bad enough that they were doing battle here but destroying this place through collateral damage was having a horrifying effect on the landscape. The people of this planet no doubt relied on the forest in their daily lives, but now it was quickly being consumed by a raging wildfire.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Goten and Trunks flew toward Maida who was now more self-aware of his surroundings. They came at him from two different angles in an attempt to overwhelm him through with their superior numbers. Goten came down from high right with powerful straight shot that collided with his jaw. Trunks came from the opposite side, low left, snapping a kick upward into his already wounded abdomen. Both strikes found their marks, but Maida only hissed in anger at the annoyance these two Super Saiyans caused him. He was starting to slow down from injury and exhaustion himself, but there was little doubt in his mind that he would be able to take care of these two. Maida’s large hands snapped out quickly to take the limbs of each one of them that struck him. He whipped Goten around by the arm and Trunks up by his leg, smashing both of them together before he tossed them aside. “I don’t have any patience left for you blonde haired pests. After I kill you, I’m going to use your bodies as a club to beat that little rabbit bitch to death!” Goten narrowed his eyes in anger at Maida’s suggestion that he was going to harm Shihori, “You’re never going to get another chance because this ends here and now!” Goten cupped his hands at his side bringing forth shining blue ki energy, “KAME-” Trunks did the same put positioned his hands high with purple ki energy forming in his hands. Maida sneered at them and let forth a self-amused chuckle, “Well, isn’t that cute. Going to protect your little girlfriend, are you? Bring it on you little punks!” Goten clenched his teeth as he forced more power into the buildup of his attack, “HAME-” Trunks stayed focused on the target at hand and did the same as Goten, pouring as much power as he could muster into his attack. Maida spread his arms wide as an invitation to receive the attack head-on, “Bring it punks!” Goten threw his hands forward and fired a large blue energy wave, “HAAAAA!” Trunks threw his hands forward and called out, “GALICK-HO!!!!” A crackling purple beam of ki shot forth from his hands and sailed toward Maida alongside the Kamehameha.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Just before both beams collided with Maida’s body there was a bright flash of light that erupted between Goten, Trunks, and Maida. The energy waves impacted on something, but each curved to the side and careened off into the distance where they exploded on contact with the ground. Both boys went wide eyed with disbelief when they saw a much smaller, green skinned, man hovering in the air between them and Maida. He appeared intensely focused on them and not happy to see them. Maida appeared equally as surprised to see him and started to ramble nervously to the new arrival, “Vardier, but I…. It’s no problem, I can handle them on my own.” Vardier turned his head to the side so he could see Maida out of the corner of his eye, “Enough of this foolishness Maida. The rest of our comrades are dead. You’re the only one left.” Maida appeared shocked when he was told that he was the last one standing. Vardier turned his attention back to the two boys hovering in the air not far away. He pointed at them accusingly, “You two! You killed Shira and Meru; they were my friends!” Trunks made a face to Vardier to show that he cared little for their interpersonal relationships at this point, “So?! They terrorized the people of this planet and killed someone dear to one of my friends. They got what they deserved!” Goten clenched his fists and took on a defensive posture in the face of this new threat. Vardier closed his eyes for a brief moment as if he were trying to calm himself down and reflecting on past events, “They loved to dance, they looked so beautiful when they used to dance. Now you took away all their dreams and you’re going to pay with your lives!” Vardier disappeared from where he was in the air and quickly reappeared with such rapid speed that neither Goten nor Trunks could follow him with their eyes. He was burying an uppercut very deeply into Trunks’ stomach, blood exploded out of his mouth as Vardier’s punishing attack crushed his indies with extreme force. Vardier whipped around sending a hook kick into the side of Trunks’ head with a sickening crack. He sailed into the ground where his body created an impact crater, he was lying motionless in his base form with his limbs a tangled mess. Goten gasped in shock at the initial hit that Trunks received from Vardier, but what drove him over the edge was seeing his best friend so carelessly tossed aside like a piece of trash, “You son of a bitch!” Goten exploded towards Vardier with furious anger written all over his face. He threw a punch into Vardier’s face which had no chance of landing in the first place. His fist was snatched cleanly out of mid-air by an expressionless Vardier, “Are these the dirty little hands that killed them?” He twisted Goten’s arm around until the torsion snapped his wrist with an audible *crack*. Goten yelped in pain as his wrist was broken. Still defiant to this menacing foe, Goten prepared to throw another punch at him. He was countered before he could come forward with his fist, Vardier drove his fist directly into Goten’s face which caused his nose and mouth to erupt in blood. Goten’s hair fell back to black and he gurgled blood in his damaged mouth as he tried to breath. Before he fell Vardier snatched him by the front of his gi and pulled him closer to him. Vardier calmly spoke to him like he was lecturing him, “I want you to know that you brought this on yourself by siding with them. Korian and Shihori are going to die in the most painful ways I can possibly imagine.” Vardier patted him on the cheek, “Rest easy, Goten. I need you alive…. for now.” He tossed Goten’s bloody and limp body over to Maida who caught him like he was catching a baseball. He looked to the big man and pointed to the ground, “Go retrieve Trunks and follow me, there are a few more Saiyan bodies to bury before the day is out.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Korian in his great ape transformation continued his reign of terror through the normally peaceful terrain of planet Metius. He had exited the burning forest now after following the path of Goten and Trunks as they made their hasty escape. Super Saiyan Shihori flew along quickly to intercept him before he wandered into a populated area or caught up to them in the midst of their battle with the remaining enemies. She came upon the giant golden ape and stopped near his eye level with her arms and legs extended out to the sides to show him that he needed to stop, “Papa! Listen to me, it’s Shihori, remember? You need to stop before anyone else gets hurt!” The golden furred and glowing red eyed ape turned his attention quickly to the rabbit eared girl who was quite tiny by comparison. He let his displeasure of his presence known when he let out a feral roar that sent shockwaves through the valley. Shihori threw up his arms to guard herself from such a concussive force but didn’t waiver in her mission to reach her father and bring the man that loved her the most back to his former self. “Papa, please! You have to remember, I need you!” Korian’s sharp toothed maw opened up with glowing red energy in his mouth. The beam fired at Shihori who maneuvered herself around it to avoid getting struck by the deadly blast. It sliced through the top of a mountain leaving nothing but molten rock glowing near the former peak. Shihori groaned in frustration that nothing she was trying was having any positive effect to bring him back to his senses. She never experienced anything like this before nor did she have any knowledge that Saiyans could transform into giant apes. She had to switch gears and get more assertive with him if she had any hopes of appealing to his inner humanity, “Korian! You stop this shit right now! I’m you’re daughter, damnit! If you keep this bull shit up, then people are going to die! When Mama finds out you hurt innocent people, she’s going to kick your ass!” Korian paused for a moment as she began to yell at him like she was admonishing a misbehaving child. Shihori fumed as that outburst actually got her worked up to the point of anger. Korian growled at the tiny Saiyan and took a swipe at her with his massive hands, trying to swat her down like any annoying insect. Shihori cleanly evaded the attempt he made against her and continued to berate her father for letting this happen, “How could you be so weak?! Why would you let this happen to yourself? My father is a strong and amazing man, nothing can stop him! I look up to you so much for guidance, you’re everything to me! Why do you have to fall so far?! HUH?!!!” Korian continued to try and catch this speedy little blonde-haired woman but caught her by surprise when she ducked one of his hands and came at her from below with the other. She reacted in that moment and drew out her sword to slash at his hand with all her anger and frustration being poured into the attack. The tiny blade cut into the ape’s massive hand, drawing a small amount of blood that annoyed him more than anything. Korian roared ferociously at her absent minded attempt to defend herself and Shihori knew she had acted too impulsively, “Papa, I’m sorry, I-” His other massive hand came up to snatch her by her legs and draw her further into his massive clutches, “SHIT!” Shihori exclaimed as she was suddenly seized. Two massive hands clamped down around Shihori’s small body, the pressure being exerted on her was immense. Shihori cried out loud in a shrill voice as she felt the crushing pain against her body. Korian growled at his seized prey and remained focused to remove this threat with extreme prejudice. His hands squeezed tighter which caused Shihori to cry out again in pain again, but it was silenced in mid-scream when blood was forcibly expelled from her mouth in a gruesome display. Shihori struggled to breath as she was slowly losing the ability to stay conscious against the tremendous strength that was being applied, “Papa…. I’m sorry… promise me you’ll…. you’ll take care of our family…. promise…” Shihori gasped as her consciousness waned and her vision became black.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The words carried over deep into Korian’s subconscious where the thoughts of his adoptive mother, wife, and children struck a chord like a light was shone in these darkest recesses of his mind. Korian saw himself now looking through the great ape’s eyes as he slowly crushed his daughter to death, he saw and heard her declaration of unconditional love to him. He screamed at himself in his own mind to stop hurting her. Outside the great ape growled yet he stopped applying the crushing force to Shihori’s body. She slowly started to come around once she was able to breathe without difficulty. Her unfocused eyes started to regain their vision on the huge beast that had her in its grasp, “Papa…?” Korian roared again but it shifted to something more human, a distinguishable language to Shihori’s ears, “NOOOO!!” He cried out in anguish at the realization of what he was doing to her. She was released from his grasp and his massive hands were thrown up to his head as he clutched it like he was suffering a great deal of internal strife. Shihori fell a short distance through the air in her weakened state but managed to expend enough energy to safely lower herself to the ground. Above her the enormous golden ape cried out loud as a golden aura of energy erupted around it’s body, Korian was struggling with himself and fought hard to keep control of his senses now that he was aware of his surroundings. Shihori crouched down on the ground holding her broken ribs with a painful wince, she took a knee and looked up to her father, “Come on, Papa! I know you hear me! You can do this; I believe it you!” She hissed in pain as her yelling strained her injured body.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Up above Korian’s great ape form was raging with a flame-like golden aura that crackled with electrical discharge around his massive body. Slowly, the ape features of his body began to shrink away, his body becoming noticeably smaller. When he came closer to the ground, it caused a great disturbance which splintered the earth around him. Shihori struggled to maintain her balance as the ground beneath her feet was suddenly upheaved. All the dirt and debris on the ground was tossed up into a huge cloud that created a thick veil which blocked her view of what was happening. She could hear a feral cry that became a more humane sound of pain, she grew worried that something horrible was happening to him. It suddenly grew much quieter with only the sound of the wind being carried through the valley. Shihori saw a taller silhouette looming through the cloud of dust, she struggled to see if her father was okay and she hesitantly called out to him, “Papa? Is that you?” The wind carried away the last bits of dust and debris that were hanging in the air. When Shihori saw what was standing before her she gasped with surprise as a pair of golden eyes quickly fell upon her.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Some distance away, Vardier was hovering in the air with his arms crossed over his chest. He appeared perturbed by the current state of things. He wanted nothing more than to deal with Korian and Shihori quickly so they could finally have some semblance of peace. He turned his head slightly to Maida who was next to him in the air, the large red skinned man had an unconscious Trunks and Goten over his shoulders. Vardier unfurled his arms from his body and held up one of his hands in front his body, he brought forth a purple orb of hakai energy to bear in the palm of his hand. He took a deep breath and called out loudly with a sharp tone of disdain in his voice, “Korian! Come on out!! I have Goten and Trunks at my mercy! If you don’t come out and show yourself this instant, I’m going to blow up this whole god damned planet with you on it! Do you hear me, Saiyan?!” Vardier paused and searched across the skyline with his eyes for any signs of life. Maida also turned his head from side to side and even looked over his shoulder for the Saiyans that were missing in action.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Abruptly, a golden mass of energy appeared on the horizon, it closed the distance between them at a high rate of speed, faster than either of them had seen a Super Saiyan move. The mass of energy stopped in the sky a short distance away from Vardier, the electrical discharge off the aura subsided quickly as did the bright glow from the person inside the aura of energy. Before Vardier was someone familiar yet something that he had never seen before. Korian hovered in the air with crimson red fur on the exposed portions of his upper body minus his chest and hands, his dark brown hair had become long and wild like a long mane down to his shoulders, red markings encircled his eyelids, a pair of golden irises stared down Vardier with much contempt. His crimson tail waved gently in the breeze while he blinked his red eyelids over his golden eyes. Korian’s tattered navy blue gi pants remained on his lower body, tied in place by his navy-blue obi, black and gold boots in place on his feet, and his pair of black and gold bracers around his forearms.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Vardier snapped his hand closed on the hakai energy he had in his palm. For a moment, the two stared each other down with palpable hatred in the air. A few seconds later, Super Saiyan Shihori made her appearance looking fully rejuvenated and having reclaimed Kanzō’s weapon from the forest floor. Vardier began to laugh out loud at the hilarity of the situation, this drew confused looks from both Korian and Shihori, the young nascent God of Destruction explained, “Look at what we have here, I have an ape man and a bunny rabbit, you people are just too hilarious.” Neither Shihori or Korian found it funny that Vardier was making light of their appearances, but they remained silent and allowed him to continue, “So after Borbon utterly destroyed you and removed the god ki you NEVER deserved in the first place…” He smirked and gestured to Korian’s newly acquired transformation, “This is what you resort to? Frankly, you look ridiculous, I preferred the blue hair.” Korian blinked his eyes and closed them for a moment in contemplation with a smile, “Hmmm, you really think so Vardier? I kind of like it because this is all me. No gods, no angels, nothing but pure Saiyan instinct.” Vardier’s whimsical attitude fell back to all business once he got it out of his system, “This is what’s going to happen Korian. Both you and Shihori are going to submit yourselves to me for a very prompt and painful execution OR otherwise I’m going to have Maida crush Goten and Trunks’ heads to see if he can ring out any juices. Your choice.” Shihori growled in anger at the sight of Maida clutching the bloody and unconscious bodies of Goten and Trunks over his shoulders, “How about you go f@*% your-” Korian extended his hand out in front of Shihori in a sign to have her calm down, “I have a counter proposal for you Vardier. You hand the boys over to me and leave my universe forever. Borbon needs to pay for what she’s done to my home, but I’m willing to let you two off the hook. Refuse and I’ll kill you both where you stand.” However chilling Korian his statement to sound it only elicited laughter from both Vardier and Maida. “You? Kill me? Borbon might have given you brain damage. How does a de-powered, mortal, piece of shit like you expect to stand up to a God of Destruction?” Korian remained focused on Vardier but his eyes quickly shifted over to Maida, he began to analyze his position in relation to Vardier and himself. He calmly spoke to his daughter, “Shihori you take the boys and get out of here, understand?” She quickly nodded in acknowledgement but also uttered it verbally so there was no mistake, “Right.” Maida appeared confused at the notion that Shihori was going to take back Goten and Trunks from him. He started to chuckle out loud as he found it hilarious, “Come on then girly. Come and get ‘em!” Shihori prepared herself to move out as she remained focused on Goten and Trunks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">There was an abrupt golden flash as an aura erupted around Korian’s body, he flew forth faster than their eyes could follow him, only Vardier caught a brief glimpse as he moved past him. He reappeared in view with his knuckles collapsed into Maida’s chest, all the force from the attack was delivered forward into his chest cavity in a single pinpoint strike. Maida’s expression remained stunned that he was hit in the first place, but quite suddenly and graphically blood exploded out of his mouth and nose from deep inside his body, showing the extreme damage that the attack had caused to his internal organs. He began to collapse and fall out of the air, taking both Goten and Trunks along with him to the ground below. Shihori swooped in low and fast, grabbing the boys up by their clothing and retreating a safe distance to the ground below to tend to their injuries.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Vardier quickly jumped at the chance to attack Korian after he dispatched Maida with a single blow. He wound up with hakai energy in the palm of his hand, he aimed to punch Korian in the face with the destructive energy to put a quick end to their rivalry once and for all. Korian quickly turned to meet his foe as he bore down on him. Vardier thrust his hand forward with murderous intent, but Korian surprised him by clamping his bare hands down over the energy. Korian forced Vardier’s hand closed over the hakai energy which snuffed out the attack in the attacker’s own hand. While momentarily surprised by this effort, Vardier threw a swift punch at him with the other hand. Korian quickly seized him by the wrist in mid-attack before the punch could land. Vardier’s face twisted to one of absolute disdain for Korian, “You think you can stand up to me? Remember that I beat you down like a dog the last time we fought.” Vardier struggled to free himself from Korian’s grasp but the Saiyan’s hold on him was substantial. Korian glared at his enemy, the one who threatened his family, the one who helped Borbon wipe out the gods of his universe, “You don’t know anything about Saiyans, do you? We get stronger after every battle and exponentially so if we survive near death experiences. You can thank your girlfriend Borbon for the punishment you’re about to receive.” Korian pulled Vardier closer to him and quickly shot his body up, delivering a swift knee strike to his chin. Vardier’s head snapped back and Korian released him from his grasp. He received a sharp kick to his chest which caused him to shoot down into the ground with a thunderous *clap*, a large chunk of earth was displaced by Vardier’s body when he hit the ground. He remained on the ground in a daze for a moment before shaking it off, his eyes quickly looked to the sky to see Korian looming over him high in the air. Vardier clenched his teeth and growled in anger, he slammed his fist into the ground before he quickly leapt up to take the fight back to Korian. As Vardier charged him, Korian flew down at great speed with his fist cocked back, ready to strike. The two foes met in a mid-air clash with their fists colliding thunderously with one another. Vardier continued to scowl at Korian, “After I kill you, I’m going to ensure your entire family suffers an agonizing fate, starting with Shihori!” Korian narrowed his golden colored eyes at him in anger, “You’re never going to get the chance!” Korian broke away from him and whirled around to throw a hook kick at Vardier’s head. It was quickly intercepted by a mirror image kick from Vardier that sent booming pressure waves throughout the sky. The pair of them continued to strike and check each other’s attacks at high speed, each one of them looking for an advantageous opening on his opponent.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Not far away, Shihori had settled Trunks and Goten down in a part of the forest that had yet to be touched by their explosive battling. They were close to a stream that wound its way through the lush, green landscape. Shihori once again untied the bag of senzu from around her belt and poured the contents into her hand to inspect the contents, “Five left.” She knelt down next to Trunks and picked his head up in her arms. One of his arms was clearly broken and he had numerous lacerations on his face. She forced the senzu into his mouth and closed his teeth on it so he could swallow it. After a few seconds, the senzu did the trick and Trunks’ injuries began to heal on their own. He opened his blue eyes like he was waking up from a deep sleep and focused on Super Saiyan Shihori cradling him in her arms, “Oh Shihori, you’re my hero” he said quite sarcastically. Shihori’s face rapidly changed from one of concern for her friend’s well-being to one of apathy, almost giving him resting bitch face, she quickly dropped him onto the ground, “Idiot.” Trunks winced when the back of his head thudded off the ground.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Shihori quickly moved over to Goten and picked him up in her arms, she supported his head against her chest. He was given a senzu, he didn’t appear to be able to chew on it on his own due to the severe damage Vardier wrought to his face. Shihori took the bean out of his mouth and put it between her own lips so she could feed him. She chewed it for him and placed her lips to Goten’s mouth, it was a bloody mess, but she paid no mind to it. All she wanted was for them to recover and right now she would do anything to make that happen. The senzu began to work quickly and Goten started to become self-aware of his surroundings. Shihori’s lips were still pressed against his while she ensured he was properly fed the senzu. His first gut reaction was to reach up with his hand to gently touch her face as he got into the kiss. Shihori was flabbergasted that she was being kissed back and quickly snapped back causing Goten to hit the ground. Goten grunted as he was abruptly dropped and Shihori became apologetic for causing him any additional discomfort, “I’m so sorry!” Trunks made a disgusted face and threw up his arms because he never got an apology for being dropped on his head. Goten sat up by himself and while his face was still a blood-stained mess, his injuries had been healed to include all his missing teeth being replaced. Shihori and Goten pointed at one another near simultaneously, “You’ve got blood on your face.” Shihori tried to wipe it off with the back of her forearm but all she accomplished was to smear it even worse. She hurried over to the stream and knelt down to wash her face off with the cool, clean water. Goten approached her from behind and started to apologize, “I’m sorry if I crossed the line by kissing you. It’s just that those feelings between us are hard to forget.” Shihori remained quiet with her back to him. Goten felt awkward in the pervading silence and turned away to leave her alone, but Shihori spoke up without turning to face him, “I’m relieved that you’re okay Goten. I don’t know what I would have done if you got killed.” Goten started to feel a little better after hearing her speak and he got a tiny smirk on his face but said nothing further about it before heading back over to Trunks. Shihori was heavily blushing and reached up to touch both her cheeks, she felt flustered after the surprise kiss with Goten and her emotions were running wild.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">After a few moments, Shihori rejoined the boys as they were staring up at the battle between Vardier and Korian in the sky above them. There were several thunderous claps when the two combatants met furiously in close combat. The three of them on the ground were in awe of Korian’s performance against the self-proclaimed God of Destruction. Trunks turned his attention over to Shihori who was continuing to follow the fight, “What happened with your dad? Last time we saw him he was a giant ape and now this energy I’m sensing from him, it’s unreal.” Shihori smiled proudly but didn’t break her gaze away from the battle, “He found a new path forward all on his own, now he’s going to use that power to put a stop to Vardier once and for all.” Goten remained quietly in awe at the speed and ferocity that Korian displayed against his enemy. Shihori spoke quietly to herself, “Get him Papa.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="India Actual, post: 2756, member: 80"] [FONT=verdana][B][SIZE=5]Chapter 8: (Part 12)[/SIZE][/B] Concurrently, the short statured Shihori was entangled in a physical melee with the tremendous Maida. Shihori and Maida were trading blows in mid-air, the small rabbit eared Super Saiyan was much quicker than her opponent but keeping the battle in mid-air limited her ability to effectively use her sword techniques to maximum effect. In such close quarters she could only maneuver so much to gain the necessary momentum to put power behind her attacks. Maida swung at her again after she backed off from her last attack, her eyes quickly followed the punch as it came for her. She noticed his body position was too off center to be fully committed to such a telegraphed punch. Her suspicions were realized when the true attack came in the form of a front kick from his lead leg. She slapped her free hand down onto his leg as it traveled toward her body, she experienced some of the force in her arm but that was better than catching that massive boot dead-on. She needed to move in closer and fast, she spring boarded off the massive leg using it as a base to kick off and come straight into him for an attack. She slashed her blade diagonally across his exposed chest, the blade barely cutting into his skin with the amount of power she was able to put behind her stroke. Maida was proving difficult to take on head to head, but she needed to persevere for her father. He scoffed at the wound he received on his chest, “Is that it? You’re proving to be more of a disappointment than I thought!” Maida came across with his other arm before she could make a clean get away and latched onto her exposed leg. Shihori was swung around like a rag doll as he prepared to beat her off the only solid object that he had access to, his other fist. She dangled upside down and tried to right herself by taking swings at the arm that had a hold of her leg, but the attacks only left flesh wounds on his tough skin. She was pounded off his fist which caused her head to spin wildly, she thought for a moment that she would lose consciousness, but she barely managed to hang on. As Maida swung her around for another attack, Shihori pulled her sword in close to her body and as she felt herself arc over, she pressed it straight out above her head. The point of the sword embedded itself into Maida’s opposite forearm, he winced in pain as blood was cleanly drawn from the piercing wound to his arm. Shihori raised her power significantly for a moment, her hair growing out longer and her eyes shifting a more defined and focused appearance. Having transformed into Super Saiyan 3, she took her chance now and let go of the sword that she impaled into his arm. She projected her hands outward with the thumbs and index fingers meetings while the other fingers remained splayed open, “Kyūbiko-ha!” A golden beam was shot out from her hands at point blank range. It collided with him and managed to take a chunk out of his side that was about the size of one of Shihori’s fists. It managed to do the trick as he let her go while he writhed in pain, she grabbed onto her sword and flipped around onto his forearm. She pulled the sword free in one swift jerking motion, blood spraying up onto her clothing and white body armor. She back flipped off his arm back into mid-flight and took a defensive posture against him. A familiar voice called out behind her from a distance, her sensitive hearing swore she heard Goten calling out to her, “Shihori!!” She turned her head slightly to the source of the noise and did indeed see both Goten and Trunks flying in her direction in quite a hurry. Maida managed to cauterize his own injury on his abdomen by expelling some of his own energy to seal the wound. The noise of him doing so and his stifled whimpers of pain caught her attention again, she narrowed her eyes at his persistence, “You really don’t know when to quit do you?” She held up her free hand with a glowing white ball of energy, it was an attack seldom utilized by her but one that she learned had learned from a great master of the technique, her mother. She pitched the white orb in his direction and just before it contacted him it exploded it in a blinding white flash, “Be right back, dick weed!” Maida suffered the full force of the attack and clenched his eyes tight as the searing white light washed out his vision. Shihori powered down from Super Saiyan 3 to Super Saiyan to conserve energy while she took off in flight leaving a golden streak of energy in her wake. She soon met up with Goten and Trunks in mid-air, both boys were out of breath and seemed to be in a hurry to reach her. “Hey guys, I’m glad you’re both okay. Mind giving me a hand with this asshole?” She thumb-pointed over her shoulder at Maida who was searching the immediate area for any sign of her while his vision was still affected by her attack. Trunks mirrored her own gesture to draw her attention to the giant rampaging ape not far behind them, “We’ve got bigger problems right now.” Shihori’s blue-green eyes went wide with bewilderment as she caught sight of the giant rampaging golden ape, “What the f*#@ is that thing?!” Goten nervously rubbed the back of his head nervously because he didn’t know how to put it, “Well, you see thing is, Shihori, it’s your dad.” Her eyes snapped back over to Goten when he made that proclamation, her mouth was hanging open in shock, “But how?! What the fu-” Trunks gave her nothing more than a shrug but Goten sighed as he best tried to sum things up for her, “Something made him transform, we don’t know what exactly but I know it has something to do with his tail or at least so I was told by Mister Piccolo.” Trunks crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, “He’s lost all sense of himself right now. He doesn’t recognize anyone, so he tried to attack us, but boy he sure did a number on that cyborg guy.” Trunks whistled as he was impressed by the vaporizing effects Korian’s attack had on him. Goten put his hands on Shihori’s shoulders to focus her attention on him. She was still in shock by all the information being laid on her all at once, but Goten’s touch immediately got her attention, she looked at his hands touching her and then back up to his eyes. His blue green Super Saiyan eyes focused on her and a gentle, compassionate tone was taken on in his voice, “You’re his daughter, I know you can reach him if you try.” Shihori slightly blushed from Goten laying his hands on her, “Alright, I’ll do whatever it takes.” Goten let her go and she stepped back to sheath her sword at her hip in a precise and calculated manner. Trunks tapped Goten on the arm before he turned his attention back to Shihori, “We’ll handle the big dumb one. Go save your dad.” Goten nodded to her reassuringly and she replied in kind with a nod of her own. She focused on the giant ape as he drew closer to them. The forest fire was beginning to spread out in all directions from his rampaging around. Korian was smashing his hands into burning trees and tossing them hundreds of yards into pristine forest. This managed to spread the wildfire even further than what it had already consumed. It was bad enough that they were doing battle here but destroying this place through collateral damage was having a horrifying effect on the landscape. The people of this planet no doubt relied on the forest in their daily lives, but now it was quickly being consumed by a raging wildfire. Goten and Trunks flew toward Maida who was now more self-aware of his surroundings. They came at him from two different angles in an attempt to overwhelm him through with their superior numbers. Goten came down from high right with powerful straight shot that collided with his jaw. Trunks came from the opposite side, low left, snapping a kick upward into his already wounded abdomen. Both strikes found their marks, but Maida only hissed in anger at the annoyance these two Super Saiyans caused him. He was starting to slow down from injury and exhaustion himself, but there was little doubt in his mind that he would be able to take care of these two. Maida’s large hands snapped out quickly to take the limbs of each one of them that struck him. He whipped Goten around by the arm and Trunks up by his leg, smashing both of them together before he tossed them aside. “I don’t have any patience left for you blonde haired pests. After I kill you, I’m going to use your bodies as a club to beat that little rabbit bitch to death!” Goten narrowed his eyes in anger at Maida’s suggestion that he was going to harm Shihori, “You’re never going to get another chance because this ends here and now!” Goten cupped his hands at his side bringing forth shining blue ki energy, “KAME-” Trunks did the same put positioned his hands high with purple ki energy forming in his hands. Maida sneered at them and let forth a self-amused chuckle, “Well, isn’t that cute. Going to protect your little girlfriend, are you? Bring it on you little punks!” Goten clenched his teeth as he forced more power into the buildup of his attack, “HAME-” Trunks stayed focused on the target at hand and did the same as Goten, pouring as much power as he could muster into his attack. Maida spread his arms wide as an invitation to receive the attack head-on, “Bring it punks!” Goten threw his hands forward and fired a large blue energy wave, “HAAAAA!” Trunks threw his hands forward and called out, “GALICK-HO!!!!” A crackling purple beam of ki shot forth from his hands and sailed toward Maida alongside the Kamehameha. Just before both beams collided with Maida’s body there was a bright flash of light that erupted between Goten, Trunks, and Maida. The energy waves impacted on something, but each curved to the side and careened off into the distance where they exploded on contact with the ground. Both boys went wide eyed with disbelief when they saw a much smaller, green skinned, man hovering in the air between them and Maida. He appeared intensely focused on them and not happy to see them. Maida appeared equally as surprised to see him and started to ramble nervously to the new arrival, “Vardier, but I…. It’s no problem, I can handle them on my own.” Vardier turned his head to the side so he could see Maida out of the corner of his eye, “Enough of this foolishness Maida. The rest of our comrades are dead. You’re the only one left.” Maida appeared shocked when he was told that he was the last one standing. Vardier turned his attention back to the two boys hovering in the air not far away. He pointed at them accusingly, “You two! You killed Shira and Meru; they were my friends!” Trunks made a face to Vardier to show that he cared little for their interpersonal relationships at this point, “So?! They terrorized the people of this planet and killed someone dear to one of my friends. They got what they deserved!” Goten clenched his fists and took on a defensive posture in the face of this new threat. Vardier closed his eyes for a brief moment as if he were trying to calm himself down and reflecting on past events, “They loved to dance, they looked so beautiful when they used to dance. Now you took away all their dreams and you’re going to pay with your lives!” Vardier disappeared from where he was in the air and quickly reappeared with such rapid speed that neither Goten nor Trunks could follow him with their eyes. He was burying an uppercut very deeply into Trunks’ stomach, blood exploded out of his mouth as Vardier’s punishing attack crushed his indies with extreme force. Vardier whipped around sending a hook kick into the side of Trunks’ head with a sickening crack. He sailed into the ground where his body created an impact crater, he was lying motionless in his base form with his limbs a tangled mess. Goten gasped in shock at the initial hit that Trunks received from Vardier, but what drove him over the edge was seeing his best friend so carelessly tossed aside like a piece of trash, “You son of a bitch!” Goten exploded towards Vardier with furious anger written all over his face. He threw a punch into Vardier’s face which had no chance of landing in the first place. His fist was snatched cleanly out of mid-air by an expressionless Vardier, “Are these the dirty little hands that killed them?” He twisted Goten’s arm around until the torsion snapped his wrist with an audible *crack*. Goten yelped in pain as his wrist was broken. Still defiant to this menacing foe, Goten prepared to throw another punch at him. He was countered before he could come forward with his fist, Vardier drove his fist directly into Goten’s face which caused his nose and mouth to erupt in blood. Goten’s hair fell back to black and he gurgled blood in his damaged mouth as he tried to breath. Before he fell Vardier snatched him by the front of his gi and pulled him closer to him. Vardier calmly spoke to him like he was lecturing him, “I want you to know that you brought this on yourself by siding with them. Korian and Shihori are going to die in the most painful ways I can possibly imagine.” Vardier patted him on the cheek, “Rest easy, Goten. I need you alive…. for now.” He tossed Goten’s bloody and limp body over to Maida who caught him like he was catching a baseball. He looked to the big man and pointed to the ground, “Go retrieve Trunks and follow me, there are a few more Saiyan bodies to bury before the day is out.” Korian in his great ape transformation continued his reign of terror through the normally peaceful terrain of planet Metius. He had exited the burning forest now after following the path of Goten and Trunks as they made their hasty escape. Super Saiyan Shihori flew along quickly to intercept him before he wandered into a populated area or caught up to them in the midst of their battle with the remaining enemies. She came upon the giant golden ape and stopped near his eye level with her arms and legs extended out to the sides to show him that he needed to stop, “Papa! Listen to me, it’s Shihori, remember? You need to stop before anyone else gets hurt!” The golden furred and glowing red eyed ape turned his attention quickly to the rabbit eared girl who was quite tiny by comparison. He let his displeasure of his presence known when he let out a feral roar that sent shockwaves through the valley. Shihori threw up his arms to guard herself from such a concussive force but didn’t waiver in her mission to reach her father and bring the man that loved her the most back to his former self. “Papa, please! You have to remember, I need you!” Korian’s sharp toothed maw opened up with glowing red energy in his mouth. The beam fired at Shihori who maneuvered herself around it to avoid getting struck by the deadly blast. It sliced through the top of a mountain leaving nothing but molten rock glowing near the former peak. Shihori groaned in frustration that nothing she was trying was having any positive effect to bring him back to his senses. She never experienced anything like this before nor did she have any knowledge that Saiyans could transform into giant apes. She had to switch gears and get more assertive with him if she had any hopes of appealing to his inner humanity, “Korian! You stop this shit right now! I’m you’re daughter, damnit! If you keep this bull shit up, then people are going to die! When Mama finds out you hurt innocent people, she’s going to kick your ass!” Korian paused for a moment as she began to yell at him like she was admonishing a misbehaving child. Shihori fumed as that outburst actually got her worked up to the point of anger. Korian growled at the tiny Saiyan and took a swipe at her with his massive hands, trying to swat her down like any annoying insect. Shihori cleanly evaded the attempt he made against her and continued to berate her father for letting this happen, “How could you be so weak?! Why would you let this happen to yourself? My father is a strong and amazing man, nothing can stop him! I look up to you so much for guidance, you’re everything to me! Why do you have to fall so far?! HUH?!!!” Korian continued to try and catch this speedy little blonde-haired woman but caught her by surprise when she ducked one of his hands and came at her from below with the other. She reacted in that moment and drew out her sword to slash at his hand with all her anger and frustration being poured into the attack. The tiny blade cut into the ape’s massive hand, drawing a small amount of blood that annoyed him more than anything. Korian roared ferociously at her absent minded attempt to defend herself and Shihori knew she had acted too impulsively, “Papa, I’m sorry, I-” His other massive hand came up to snatch her by her legs and draw her further into his massive clutches, “SHIT!” Shihori exclaimed as she was suddenly seized. Two massive hands clamped down around Shihori’s small body, the pressure being exerted on her was immense. Shihori cried out loud in a shrill voice as she felt the crushing pain against her body. Korian growled at his seized prey and remained focused to remove this threat with extreme prejudice. His hands squeezed tighter which caused Shihori to cry out again in pain again, but it was silenced in mid-scream when blood was forcibly expelled from her mouth in a gruesome display. Shihori struggled to breath as she was slowly losing the ability to stay conscious against the tremendous strength that was being applied, “Papa…. I’m sorry… promise me you’ll…. you’ll take care of our family…. promise…” Shihori gasped as her consciousness waned and her vision became black. The words carried over deep into Korian’s subconscious where the thoughts of his adoptive mother, wife, and children struck a chord like a light was shone in these darkest recesses of his mind. Korian saw himself now looking through the great ape’s eyes as he slowly crushed his daughter to death, he saw and heard her declaration of unconditional love to him. He screamed at himself in his own mind to stop hurting her. Outside the great ape growled yet he stopped applying the crushing force to Shihori’s body. She slowly started to come around once she was able to breathe without difficulty. Her unfocused eyes started to regain their vision on the huge beast that had her in its grasp, “Papa…?” Korian roared again but it shifted to something more human, a distinguishable language to Shihori’s ears, “NOOOO!!” He cried out in anguish at the realization of what he was doing to her. She was released from his grasp and his massive hands were thrown up to his head as he clutched it like he was suffering a great deal of internal strife. Shihori fell a short distance through the air in her weakened state but managed to expend enough energy to safely lower herself to the ground. Above her the enormous golden ape cried out loud as a golden aura of energy erupted around it’s body, Korian was struggling with himself and fought hard to keep control of his senses now that he was aware of his surroundings. Shihori crouched down on the ground holding her broken ribs with a painful wince, she took a knee and looked up to her father, “Come on, Papa! I know you hear me! You can do this; I believe it you!” She hissed in pain as her yelling strained her injured body. Up above Korian’s great ape form was raging with a flame-like golden aura that crackled with electrical discharge around his massive body. Slowly, the ape features of his body began to shrink away, his body becoming noticeably smaller. When he came closer to the ground, it caused a great disturbance which splintered the earth around him. Shihori struggled to maintain her balance as the ground beneath her feet was suddenly upheaved. All the dirt and debris on the ground was tossed up into a huge cloud that created a thick veil which blocked her view of what was happening. She could hear a feral cry that became a more humane sound of pain, she grew worried that something horrible was happening to him. It suddenly grew much quieter with only the sound of the wind being carried through the valley. Shihori saw a taller silhouette looming through the cloud of dust, she struggled to see if her father was okay and she hesitantly called out to him, “Papa? Is that you?” The wind carried away the last bits of dust and debris that were hanging in the air. When Shihori saw what was standing before her she gasped with surprise as a pair of golden eyes quickly fell upon her. Some distance away, Vardier was hovering in the air with his arms crossed over his chest. He appeared perturbed by the current state of things. He wanted nothing more than to deal with Korian and Shihori quickly so they could finally have some semblance of peace. He turned his head slightly to Maida who was next to him in the air, the large red skinned man had an unconscious Trunks and Goten over his shoulders. Vardier unfurled his arms from his body and held up one of his hands in front his body, he brought forth a purple orb of hakai energy to bear in the palm of his hand. He took a deep breath and called out loudly with a sharp tone of disdain in his voice, “Korian! Come on out!! I have Goten and Trunks at my mercy! If you don’t come out and show yourself this instant, I’m going to blow up this whole god damned planet with you on it! Do you hear me, Saiyan?!” Vardier paused and searched across the skyline with his eyes for any signs of life. Maida also turned his head from side to side and even looked over his shoulder for the Saiyans that were missing in action. Abruptly, a golden mass of energy appeared on the horizon, it closed the distance between them at a high rate of speed, faster than either of them had seen a Super Saiyan move. The mass of energy stopped in the sky a short distance away from Vardier, the electrical discharge off the aura subsided quickly as did the bright glow from the person inside the aura of energy. Before Vardier was someone familiar yet something that he had never seen before. Korian hovered in the air with crimson red fur on the exposed portions of his upper body minus his chest and hands, his dark brown hair had become long and wild like a long mane down to his shoulders, red markings encircled his eyelids, a pair of golden irises stared down Vardier with much contempt. His crimson tail waved gently in the breeze while he blinked his red eyelids over his golden eyes. Korian’s tattered navy blue gi pants remained on his lower body, tied in place by his navy-blue obi, black and gold boots in place on his feet, and his pair of black and gold bracers around his forearms. Vardier snapped his hand closed on the hakai energy he had in his palm. For a moment, the two stared each other down with palpable hatred in the air. A few seconds later, Super Saiyan Shihori made her appearance looking fully rejuvenated and having reclaimed Kanzō’s weapon from the forest floor. Vardier began to laugh out loud at the hilarity of the situation, this drew confused looks from both Korian and Shihori, the young nascent God of Destruction explained, “Look at what we have here, I have an ape man and a bunny rabbit, you people are just too hilarious.” Neither Shihori or Korian found it funny that Vardier was making light of their appearances, but they remained silent and allowed him to continue, “So after Borbon utterly destroyed you and removed the god ki you NEVER deserved in the first place…” He smirked and gestured to Korian’s newly acquired transformation, “This is what you resort to? Frankly, you look ridiculous, I preferred the blue hair.” Korian blinked his eyes and closed them for a moment in contemplation with a smile, “Hmmm, you really think so Vardier? I kind of like it because this is all me. No gods, no angels, nothing but pure Saiyan instinct.” Vardier’s whimsical attitude fell back to all business once he got it out of his system, “This is what’s going to happen Korian. Both you and Shihori are going to submit yourselves to me for a very prompt and painful execution OR otherwise I’m going to have Maida crush Goten and Trunks’ heads to see if he can ring out any juices. Your choice.” Shihori growled in anger at the sight of Maida clutching the bloody and unconscious bodies of Goten and Trunks over his shoulders, “How about you go f@*% your-” Korian extended his hand out in front of Shihori in a sign to have her calm down, “I have a counter proposal for you Vardier. You hand the boys over to me and leave my universe forever. Borbon needs to pay for what she’s done to my home, but I’m willing to let you two off the hook. Refuse and I’ll kill you both where you stand.” However chilling Korian his statement to sound it only elicited laughter from both Vardier and Maida. “You? Kill me? Borbon might have given you brain damage. How does a de-powered, mortal, piece of shit like you expect to stand up to a God of Destruction?” Korian remained focused on Vardier but his eyes quickly shifted over to Maida, he began to analyze his position in relation to Vardier and himself. He calmly spoke to his daughter, “Shihori you take the boys and get out of here, understand?” She quickly nodded in acknowledgement but also uttered it verbally so there was no mistake, “Right.” Maida appeared confused at the notion that Shihori was going to take back Goten and Trunks from him. He started to chuckle out loud as he found it hilarious, “Come on then girly. Come and get ‘em!” Shihori prepared herself to move out as she remained focused on Goten and Trunks. There was an abrupt golden flash as an aura erupted around Korian’s body, he flew forth faster than their eyes could follow him, only Vardier caught a brief glimpse as he moved past him. He reappeared in view with his knuckles collapsed into Maida’s chest, all the force from the attack was delivered forward into his chest cavity in a single pinpoint strike. Maida’s expression remained stunned that he was hit in the first place, but quite suddenly and graphically blood exploded out of his mouth and nose from deep inside his body, showing the extreme damage that the attack had caused to his internal organs. He began to collapse and fall out of the air, taking both Goten and Trunks along with him to the ground below. Shihori swooped in low and fast, grabbing the boys up by their clothing and retreating a safe distance to the ground below to tend to their injuries. Vardier quickly jumped at the chance to attack Korian after he dispatched Maida with a single blow. He wound up with hakai energy in the palm of his hand, he aimed to punch Korian in the face with the destructive energy to put a quick end to their rivalry once and for all. Korian quickly turned to meet his foe as he bore down on him. Vardier thrust his hand forward with murderous intent, but Korian surprised him by clamping his bare hands down over the energy. Korian forced Vardier’s hand closed over the hakai energy which snuffed out the attack in the attacker’s own hand. While momentarily surprised by this effort, Vardier threw a swift punch at him with the other hand. Korian quickly seized him by the wrist in mid-attack before the punch could land. Vardier’s face twisted to one of absolute disdain for Korian, “You think you can stand up to me? Remember that I beat you down like a dog the last time we fought.” Vardier struggled to free himself from Korian’s grasp but the Saiyan’s hold on him was substantial. Korian glared at his enemy, the one who threatened his family, the one who helped Borbon wipe out the gods of his universe, “You don’t know anything about Saiyans, do you? We get stronger after every battle and exponentially so if we survive near death experiences. You can thank your girlfriend Borbon for the punishment you’re about to receive.” Korian pulled Vardier closer to him and quickly shot his body up, delivering a swift knee strike to his chin. Vardier’s head snapped back and Korian released him from his grasp. He received a sharp kick to his chest which caused him to shoot down into the ground with a thunderous *clap*, a large chunk of earth was displaced by Vardier’s body when he hit the ground. He remained on the ground in a daze for a moment before shaking it off, his eyes quickly looked to the sky to see Korian looming over him high in the air. Vardier clenched his teeth and growled in anger, he slammed his fist into the ground before he quickly leapt up to take the fight back to Korian. As Vardier charged him, Korian flew down at great speed with his fist cocked back, ready to strike. The two foes met in a mid-air clash with their fists colliding thunderously with one another. Vardier continued to scowl at Korian, “After I kill you, I’m going to ensure your entire family suffers an agonizing fate, starting with Shihori!” Korian narrowed his golden colored eyes at him in anger, “You’re never going to get the chance!” Korian broke away from him and whirled around to throw a hook kick at Vardier’s head. It was quickly intercepted by a mirror image kick from Vardier that sent booming pressure waves throughout the sky. The pair of them continued to strike and check each other’s attacks at high speed, each one of them looking for an advantageous opening on his opponent. Not far away, Shihori had settled Trunks and Goten down in a part of the forest that had yet to be touched by their explosive battling. They were close to a stream that wound its way through the lush, green landscape. Shihori once again untied the bag of senzu from around her belt and poured the contents into her hand to inspect the contents, “Five left.” She knelt down next to Trunks and picked his head up in her arms. One of his arms was clearly broken and he had numerous lacerations on his face. She forced the senzu into his mouth and closed his teeth on it so he could swallow it. After a few seconds, the senzu did the trick and Trunks’ injuries began to heal on their own. He opened his blue eyes like he was waking up from a deep sleep and focused on Super Saiyan Shihori cradling him in her arms, “Oh Shihori, you’re my hero” he said quite sarcastically. Shihori’s face rapidly changed from one of concern for her friend’s well-being to one of apathy, almost giving him resting bitch face, she quickly dropped him onto the ground, “Idiot.” Trunks winced when the back of his head thudded off the ground. Shihori quickly moved over to Goten and picked him up in her arms, she supported his head against her chest. He was given a senzu, he didn’t appear to be able to chew on it on his own due to the severe damage Vardier wrought to his face. Shihori took the bean out of his mouth and put it between her own lips so she could feed him. She chewed it for him and placed her lips to Goten’s mouth, it was a bloody mess, but she paid no mind to it. All she wanted was for them to recover and right now she would do anything to make that happen. The senzu began to work quickly and Goten started to become self-aware of his surroundings. Shihori’s lips were still pressed against his while she ensured he was properly fed the senzu. His first gut reaction was to reach up with his hand to gently touch her face as he got into the kiss. Shihori was flabbergasted that she was being kissed back and quickly snapped back causing Goten to hit the ground. Goten grunted as he was abruptly dropped and Shihori became apologetic for causing him any additional discomfort, “I’m so sorry!” Trunks made a disgusted face and threw up his arms because he never got an apology for being dropped on his head. Goten sat up by himself and while his face was still a blood-stained mess, his injuries had been healed to include all his missing teeth being replaced. Shihori and Goten pointed at one another near simultaneously, “You’ve got blood on your face.” Shihori tried to wipe it off with the back of her forearm but all she accomplished was to smear it even worse. She hurried over to the stream and knelt down to wash her face off with the cool, clean water. Goten approached her from behind and started to apologize, “I’m sorry if I crossed the line by kissing you. It’s just that those feelings between us are hard to forget.” Shihori remained quiet with her back to him. Goten felt awkward in the pervading silence and turned away to leave her alone, but Shihori spoke up without turning to face him, “I’m relieved that you’re okay Goten. I don’t know what I would have done if you got killed.” Goten started to feel a little better after hearing her speak and he got a tiny smirk on his face but said nothing further about it before heading back over to Trunks. Shihori was heavily blushing and reached up to touch both her cheeks, she felt flustered after the surprise kiss with Goten and her emotions were running wild. After a few moments, Shihori rejoined the boys as they were staring up at the battle between Vardier and Korian in the sky above them. There were several thunderous claps when the two combatants met furiously in close combat. The three of them on the ground were in awe of Korian’s performance against the self-proclaimed God of Destruction. Trunks turned his attention over to Shihori who was continuing to follow the fight, “What happened with your dad? Last time we saw him he was a giant ape and now this energy I’m sensing from him, it’s unreal.” Shihori smiled proudly but didn’t break her gaze away from the battle, “He found a new path forward all on his own, now he’s going to use that power to put a stop to Vardier once and for all.” Goten remained quietly in awe at the speed and ferocity that Korian displayed against his enemy. Shihori spoke quietly to herself, “Get him Papa.” [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
