Dragon Ball Rings of Power

Chapter Four: Pilafs Maze

* Note from the author: The parts of the story with the villains happen before all the parts with the heroes. I figured that this might be confusing, so I thought I would tell you. *

Trunks looked over at Cyba. "I apologize for my actions," he said in a barely audible voice. Cyba looked back for a moment.

"Accepted," Cyba replied. No sooner were the words said, a huge explosion shook the Earth.

"What was that?!?" yelled Pahn.

"I dont know," said Gohan, "but I have the feeling it has to do with those high kis Ive been feeling.

"Could it be?" Vegeta wondered.

"I think it is," Cyba said.

"What?" asked Trunks.

"Ni Asyas," Cyba and Vegeta said together.

*****

Tratz and Lentra Had finished eating and were now after more rings. They had discovered that a strange being held 2 rings.

"Those rings are the only ones not held by us or that stupid Saiyan," Tratz stated.

*****

"What exactly is a Ni Asyas?" Gohan asked Cyba and Vegeta.

"Its a myth," answered Vegeta.

"No, theyre real," Cyba corrected Vegeta. "We found proof of them on a moon in the middle of nowhere a decade or so back. That was one of my first training assignments, to wipe out their weapons battery. They have been searching for the colony ever since."

Tratz and Lentra were standing in front of Pilafs castle. Lentra walked up to the front door and gently tapped it, knocking out half the wall along with the door. Pilafs guards approached immediately.

Tratz snapped his fingers, sending out a blast that knocked out most of the guards.

Then, a trap door opened up in front of them. They fell, neither of them really caring where they went. When they landed, they were in a large, open room. A screen appeared from the ceiling. ON the screen, a small blue person flickered to life.

"Welcome!" it said. "My name is Emperor Pilaf. I see your have the rings I am after. Now hand them over!"

"Actually," Tratz began, " you will give us yours." He flashed a dangerous look at the screen. His tail twitched restlessly.

"So be it," Pilaf said. "You had to be difficult." The screen buzzed off. A door opened on the far end and out came a shadowy figure. As it approached, they realized that it was a Namek.

"Who exactly are you," sneered Lentra.

"I am the clone of the great Master Piccolo. I will prove to be quite a challenge for you."

*****

The Ni Asyas warrior in space had been waiting patiently. He had received a few telepathic messages from Tratz and Lentra, but besides that, he was clueless. He decided to have a little fun. He activated three of the Extermination Androids (E.A.s) to fight the Saiyans.

*****

"The information we have is only bits and pieces," Cyba told the others. "The Ni Asyas were created by one of the last remaining Corgalells. The Saiyans cleared their planet a few years before that. The Corgalells name was Moritori. He wanted revenge on the Saiyans, so he created the Ni Asyas. We believe they reclaimed their planet and took out a few Saiyan colonies, not even leaving a trace. And so a myth developed, backed up by facts."

"Feh!" said Vegeta. "Bring them on! We have had a time of fairly disgusting peace! I need battle!"

"We have no idea what their power levels are, Vegeta!" Gohan said, annoyed. "They could easily have the power of five evil Shenrons combined."

"One thing is certain," Trunks said. "We arent getting any stronger by arguing. We need to train."

"Onward to Dendes Palace," said Goten, eager to train. The dream was still on his mind.

*****

The Piccolo Clone had all the power Piccolo did before he died. But it also had all the evil Piccolo had before he changed.

Lentra was about to battle the clone. They go into fighting stances. Clone began charging up for one of Piccolos famous attacks, the Masenko Ha. Clone shot the attack. Lentra reflected it, with a little effort.

"This might be a good fight," Lentra yelled over to Tratz. Tratz nodded.

Clone flew over to Lentra and threw a blinding assault of energy blasts. Then he threw a series of punches and kicks. Fore every strike that got through, Lentra blocked 2 more. Lentra did a high kick which sent Clone flying. Clone took the break in the action to power up an attack of his own creation, the Mind Crusher. He fired it and it hit Lentra square in the face.

Lentra had been temporarily paralyzed. Clone took the opportunity to pummel Lentra into the ground with anything he could think of. When Lentra recovered, he was very angry.

"I got overconfident," he said flatly. "Now, Im done playing." He powered up. The whole room began to shake. A small ball of energy appeared in front of him. It grew and grew until it was roughly his size. He released the ball. Clone could not withstand the onslaught. His usually green Namekian flesh was now a charred black. He turned to dust and simply blew away.

"Sorry," Lentra snickered, "Ive got quite a temper." He laughed.

The screen came back down. Pilaf looked angry. "I guess its time for a little gorilla warfare!" The floor opened up on the far side of the room. A miniature Ozaru came up from the hole. It was still about 20 feet tall. "We call him Kong. Kill them Kong!" The screen disappeared.

Tratz walked up to it, grabbed its arm, and threw it through the wall. Then he shot a blast in its mouth, killing it instantly.

"Just die!" yelled Pilaf. Tratz and Lentra heard the familiar sound of a craft lifting off. "Now you go down!" The whole complex blew up.

"Wow," Tratz said. "That blast will be heard all over the place. I bet those Saiyans will be wondering now. I wonder if they will figure out who we are."

Lentra flew up and grabbed the aircraft. He brought it down. Then he tore open the hatch, grabbed Pilaf, and knocked him out. Tratz and Lentra each took a ring.

"All that is left is that stupid Saiyan," said Tratz.

Cyba had finished his report just as three robots approached. "Looks like weve got company," Cyba said, preparing for the fight.
