Dragon Ball Rings of Power

Chapter Eleven: The Upper Hand

"Cyba, stay back," Gohan ordered him.

"I want to help," Cyba told Gohan.

"Go down there with Trunks," Gohan ordered again.  "Vegeta and I will take care of him."  Cyba obeyed.  Then Gohan spoke to Tratz.  "Why do you want to kill us?"

"We Ni Asyas warriors are the creations of a Corgalell named Moritori.  The Saiyans took over his planet.  He created us to end the Saiyan oppression.  We started by reclaiming our planet.  We were about to go on a full frontal assault on Planet Vegeta, but Frieza simply blew the whole thing up.  For a few decades we had nothing to do.  We thought that the Saiyans were eradicated.  Then one of our weapon batteries was blown up by that little rat down there," Tratz said pointing to Cyba.  "Our scouts found you guys here, so we were sent in."

Piccolo and Pikhan had been powering some attacks in the time that Tratz told his story.  Then they fired them.  They appeared to hit Tratz.

"Shoo fly, dont bother me," came a voice behind them.  They turned to find Tratz.  Tratz unleashed a massive energy attack on them.  They were both sent back to the Other Dimension since they were already dead.

Vegeta chose that instant to make his re-entry.  He dealt a hammer blow to Tratz.

"Arrgh!" Tratz growled.  Vegeta grabbed Tratz by the head.

"I was reviewing your fight with Gohan and I realized something," Vegeta told him.  "Your fight didnt have the required head butt!"  He slammed his skull against Tratzs and then threw Tratz to the ground.  "Final Blast!"  He shot the powerful attack at Tratz, leaving a huge hole in the Earth.

Tratz came tearing back at Vegeta.  He had an enraged look on his face.  He hit Vegeta hard with his tail.

"Angry are we?" Vegeta mocked.  He punched Tratz in the gut several times.

"I've had enough of you!" Tratz screamed.  He opened his mouth wide and spit out a huge fireball.  Vegeta covered his face with his arms.

As retaliation, Vegeta fired the biggest attack he could create at Tratz.  But between the E.A.s and Tratzs own effort, the blast not only deflected, it reflected back at Vegeta, hitting him hard.  Vegeta was virtually out of power.  He landed, cursing the whole way.

Cyba looked over at Trunks.  "Has the effect of the Bios worn off?"

"Its been about three hours since that Bio got me," Trunks responded.  "I'll try."  He powered up and went Super Saiyan.

"Good," Cyba said.  "Gohan told us to stay down here.  But he didn't say anything about Cybtrenks."  This took a few minutes to register in Trunkss mind.

"Lets go for it!" Trunks said.  They pulled off the fusion.

*****

Gohan was still trying his hardest against Tratz.  Every time Gohan threw an energy attack at Tratz, the E.A.s blocked it.  Tratz had Gohan in hand-to-hand combat superiority.

Suddenly, in a flash, there were two big explosions.

Gohan and Tratz realized that the E.A.s had been destroyed.  Cybtrenks was floating there, surrounded in torrents of energy.

"Thought you could use a hand," Cybtrenks said with a smirk.  When he spoke, both Trunks's and Cyba's voice came through.

"My E.A.s!" Tratz yelled.

"Your trump card is gone," Cybtrenks said.  "We have the upper hand."  He smiled a vicious, insane smile.  "What are you going to do?"

"This!"  Tratz attempted to hit Cybtrenks with his tail.  All Cybtrenks did was grab it and pull it off.

"Aaaargghhhh!" Tratz screamed in pain.

"Heh heh heh," Cybtrenks chuckled.

*****

Most of the other Z fighters were regaining consciousness.  Goten would have given them all senzu beans, but he gave Vegeta the last 2, restoring him to full power.

Vegeta flew up next to Gohan.  Everybody was watching Cybtrenks in amazement.

*****

"And here is my next trick," Cybtrenks said in amusement.  "Siphon Blade!" A sword made of green energy formed in Cybtrenkss hand.  He pointed it at Tratz.  "Activate," Cybtrenks ordered.  A white beam came off the blade.  It started draining energy from Tratz and fed it to Cybtrenks.

Tratz stopped this by powering up so fast that the blade shattered.

"Very good," Cybtrenks said.

They began throwing flurries of punches back and forth at each other.

Cybtrenks kicked at Tratz.  The fusion split and instead of Cybtrenks hitting Tratz, both Cyba and Trunks did instead.

Tratz was hurt quite a bit.  Between losing his tail, the energy siphon, and all of those punches, he took a beating.  But now, they lost their trump card, just as he had lost his.

He smirked.

I know exactly what Im going to do.

He flew at Cyba as fast as he could.  He rammed Cyba at full speed.  Tratz grabbed him by his neck. Then he flew straight up, into the cold vastness of space.

*****

"Dammit, he was too fast for me to stop him!" Trunks yelled.  He was starting to see Cyba as a friend, not some evil creature dumped onto his planet.

*****

"I can breath in space and you cant," Tratz said almost childishly.  "The only way I will let you live is if you tell me where the colony is."

"If I were afraid of death, I wouldnt be here," Cyba said, even though he was beginning to struggle for air.

*****

He's serious, isn't he?  Hes really gonna try and get the location of the colony out of me.

I wont give in. No matter what.

*****

"Oh no!"  Pahn uttered as she saw what Tratz was doing.  "He's gonna suffocate Cyba!"

She started to fly at Tratz.

I can't let Cyba die!  He cant die! He cant!

She made her first transformation to Super Saiyan.  Her hair fell back to her shoulders just to rise back up in golden spikes.

Her eyes flickered green.

Then, she went on a rampage after Tratz.

*****

"Tell me dammit!" Tratz yelled.  Cyba could barely speak from the lack of air.

"G-go t-t-to hell-l," Cyba sputtered.

Suddenly, Tratz took a heavy blow to the neck.  He dropped Cyba.  When he turned around, he saw Pahn.

Pahn shot a big blast at Tratz.  It connected, knocking Tratz back farther.  She swooped down to catch Cyba.  She felt the strain of the wind as she went into a steep dive.

Faster!  She ordered herself.  I need to go faster!

She caught Cyba and held him close.

"P-Pahn," Cyba said through gasps.  "I l-love you."

"I couldnt let you die," Pahn told him.  They kissed again.  They were still very high up.  So high, that the rest of the Z Senshi were still out of sight.

Then Tratz came flying in a blinding fury after Cyba and Pahn.

"Let me go," Cyba told her.

"But..."

"I have an idea," Cyba said.  He showed off a grin.

Pahn let go, with some hesitation.

The air crackled as Cyba drew in energy.

This one will be from all my friends, especially for Choazu.

"Orange Ray!" Cyba shouted as he fired his super-charged blast.

Tratz flew right into it.  He let out a short yelp, but it barely slowed him down.  He was still tearing through the air at Cyba.

*****

Gohan glanced over at Vegeta.  "Its time," he said.

Vegeta instantly knew what Gohan meant.  "Right," he responded.

They stood side-by-side, preparing for their next move.

Then, they began.  "Fusion-HA!"

There was a blinding flash of light and energy.  Then, there was only Vegetan.

*****

Sudden high power level?  Tratz thought to himself.

He noticed Vegetan.  He would obliterate me.

The answer came to Tratz in the form of his friend Cecray.  He opened up a mental message.

"Is the cannon ready again?"

"Yes sir," Cecray answered.

"Fire it when I tell you," Tratz told him.

*****

Vegetan rushed at Tratz.  They both started swinging fists.  The warriors were throwing off so much energy that the sky seemed to be on fire.

Tratz couldnt possibly win by strength.  He was depending on his speed to out-maneuver Vegetan.  He knew that the fusion could only last so long.  Cybtrenks only lasted for about 20 minutes.

Cyba tried to cut Tratz off.  Tratz showed him right in Vegetans way.  Vegetan stopped centimeters from hitting Cyba.  Then he went streaking back off toward Tratz.

*****

"Now!" Tratz said in a mental message to Cecray.  The cannon hummed and Cha-Fwoooshed!  The green light once again lanced towards Earth.

The beam caught Vegetan off guard.  After the dust blew away, Vegeta and Gohan were floating there, unfused, but not too badly injured.

"How did you?" Tratz wondered.

Vegeta simply spit and smirked.

*Note from author: I've decided to add a small section at the end of each of my chapters giving a brief summary of the next chapter.  Well, here's the first one.

Next  Tratz obtains a power that overshadows anything that the Saiyans have faced so far.  Can the Earth warriors stand up to Tratz's new form?  See Chapter 12: Deamonus for the answer!
