Dragon Ball Rings of Power

Chapter Nine: Cyba's Mistake

No! Cyba thought. This is close to what Gohan told me to try and get me to go Super Saiyan Two. Forgive me Gohan. Forgive me Pahn. Forgive me Earth.

*****

Choazu escaped the E.A.s trying to put him in a containment field. He was lying low for now. He didnt know how much he could do, but he thought that when he was needed, he would do his best.

*****

Lentra and Gohan stood face to face. They stayed like that for a few moments.

"Excuse me for saying so, but this isnt a starring contest," Tratz told them.

In an instant, both fighters disappeared. They reappeared several feet away. For every hit one fighter made, the other one made one. They disappeared again. Their kis were blazing.

Both Gohan and Lentra were balls of living fire, pure absolute energy.

They reappeared and stopped.

"Hmmm, very good," Lentra said. "For being a dirty Saiyan you can throw a good punch.

"You are a good fighter yourself," Gohan responded.

They began fighting back and forth again. Neither one seemed to lose or get tired. It was constant, everlasting battle. They went for over half an hour and stopped again.

Lentra had sent a devastating kick to Gohans chest. Gohan was sputtering and breathing hard.

"Awww, poor Saiyan," Lentra mocked. "Didnt think I would be this strong did you?"

"That hit wasnt because you were strong," Gohan retorted, "it was because I had left and opening.

*****

Tratz still held the energy blast a few inches in front of Cybas face. His focus was on the fight, so he didnt notice what Cyba was preparing to do.

*****

Krillin tossed Pahn a senzu bean. She gave it to Trunks. Krillin gave on to Vegeta. They both came back around.

"Crap!" Trunks yelled. "Damn Bios."

"Ugh," Vegeta groaned. He was bruised and battered from the energy cannon blast. "That was a cheap shot that got me."

Krillin looked up. He saw Gohan hit Lentra square in the face with a palm heel strike. "Yeah! Take him down Gohan!" Krillin yelled joyfully.

"Go Dad," Pahn called up.

*****

Gohan put both hands behind his head. He placed one over the other. "Masenko Ha!" he shouted, his voice resonating with power. The blast enveloped Lentra. After the smoke drifted away, Lentra was still just standing there as he was before the blast.

"Nice shot. It could have killed me if I were asleep!"

This Lentra guy is really getting on my nerves, Gohan thought.

*****

Light years away from Earth, back at the Saiyan Space Colony, one of Cybas friends noticed that he was gone. She went over to her other friends.

"I think Cyba is gone," she said.

"Anoreha, what would make you think that," on friend asked.

"I havent seen him for over 2 weeks now," Anoreha responded. "I hope hes okay wherever he is. Hes my cousin and the only family I have left."

"Hes fine," Letucia said. "He has to be. Both of you are very special. He is a Biogenically enhanced warrior and you are the niece of Brolli, you are a Legendary Super Saiyan, more like Brolli than Cyba, his own son!"

Anoreha thought about this for a moment. "This is the truth," she finally said. Anoreha was special. Legendary Super Saiyans were born as Super Saiyans.

If only they knew the truth of Cybas situation.

*****

Just a little longer, Cyba thought. Then I can wipe the smirk off of that Ni Asyas piece of crap.

Tratz still had the energy blast, but his arm was almost relaxed.

*****

Lentra once again used the power of his rings. Gohan did the same. Energy filled the air. The battle was about to heat up once again.

Now, when they hit each other or blocked the air was filled with a thunderous crack.

Both Gohan and Lentra fired a blast at each other at the same time. It turned into a fight of energy and determination. The balance kept going back and forth.

*****

Choazu watched the struggle for the energy blasts. Then he saw what Cyba was cooking up.

*****

Tratz was completely focused on the fight. He was so focused, he almost forgot that he had a hostage.

Nows my chance! Cyba thought. Then out loud, "Energy Blade!" A short beam of pure energy came from Cybas hand. It barely missed shredding Cybas torso. It didnt miss Tratz, however.

It pierced Tratz right in the stomach. His hold on Cyba was diminished. Then, Cyba jerked his Energy Blade hard to one side, further injuring Tratz.

Tratz howled in pain. He was bleeding severely.

"I take it you didnt like my trick," Cyba said coldly with a smirk. A big chunk of flesh was torn from Tratzs side.

He stopped yelling. Then he powered up an attack to kill the dirty Saiyan named Cyba.

*****

Choazu saw Cybas strike and was speechless. It was a horrible, terrible thing to do, but it was necessary. They needed everything they could get.

Choazu knew that Tratzs next move would be one to kill Cyba, so Choazu prepared for what he knew he must do.

*****

Tratz fired the blast. In a blur of motion, Choazu flew in the path of the beam. He saved Cybas life, but sacrificed his own. Choazu had been vaporized.

"Ch-Choazu!" Cyba yelled. "The little guy saved my life. Thanks. Ill protect Tien for you."

*****

Tien dropped to his knees. "Choazu. Goodbye little buddy. Ill never forget you. Tratz! When I get out, you are going to eat Tri-Beam!"

*****

Tratz looked up at Cyba. "It appears the midget died for you. What a waste, you will still die anyway. All in time Cyba, all in time."

"Shut the hell up!" Cyba shouted. "No Saiyan or Earthling will ever give in to you. Prepare yourself for combat!"

*****

Gohan poured everything he had into his attack. The two beams shuddered. Then, all at once, Gohans beam surged with power. The beam splashed over Lentras and then hit the Ni Asyas warrior full force.

Lentra yelled a resounding, "Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" But yet Lentra lived. He was scratched, bruised, bleeding, and beaten, but he still had his life.

"You can either go away and live, or die now in combat," Gohan told him.

"You cant kill me," Lentra said in return.

*****

Tien shot his Tri-beam at the containment field. It faltered and busted. The fighters surged out. Tratz caught site of them.

He fired and attack. He learned it off of the Piccolo Clone. It paralyzed everyone. It also knocked everyone but Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and Pahn.

*****

Lentra had lost his confidence. He did not charge at Gohan. He floated where he was, thinking of something he could do.

Gohan was working on getting some backup. He opened a telepathic link with the Grand Kia.

"Grand Kia, sir, this is Gohan."

"Hello Gohan, son of Goku, what can I do for you?"

"Earth is in great danger. Please send us some fighters."

"Ill send you two of our best."

"Thank you sir."
