Dragon Ball Rings of Power

Chapter Two: Race for the Rings

Gohan looked suspiciously over at Cyba. "Are you a Saiyan?" he asked.

"Yeah. I can only go Super Saiyan right now, but Im only 15 and training in the colony was simple. I was hoping Vegeta could train me," said Cyba.

"I could train you," said Gohan. "I was going to ask Pahn if she wanted to train anyway.

"Cool! Of course I will Dad," Pahn told Gohan.

"Great! My trip here hasnt been wasted then," said Cyba. Then Bulma came walking out of the house.

"Do you need a place to stay?" she asked Cyba.

"I was going to sleep in my ship," said Cyba," but the bed sucks in there. Thanks!" He was glad he would get a chance to get to know Pahn.

"I have to go look for these rings," said Gohan. "You guys stay here. Get to know each other." He flew off. Cyba began thinking that he would like it here on Earth. Pahn was sitting in a chair across the room smiling at him. Trunks on the other hand was scowling. He could tell that Trunks was angry.

"Ah, the life of a Saiyan," Cyba said out loud. Goten gave a little laugh.

"You have no idea," Goten told him.

"That ring! Its moving!" exclaimed Lentra.

"Damn Saiyan mustve gotten it," fumed Tratz. "No matter. Here is our target. Beyond this door." He looked at the writing on the door. "Whats this?

Whoever opens this door shall face the challenge of a lifetime

Sounds good too me!"

He opened the door. He heard a mechanical hum. A robot came out, with sharp blades glistening in the dim light. "May I," asked Lentra.

"Be my guest," said Tratz. At those words Lentra ran over to the robot. He ducked two quick slashes of the blades. He hit the robot with the palm of his hand on its chest. It fell back. Before it hit the ground, it activated its repulsor jets and darted toward the ceiling. It fired a huge laser bolt at Lentra. Lentra raised a ki shield and reflected the shot.

Lentra jumped up in the air, did a flip, and landed on the robots head. He grabbed a wire at the base of its neck and kicked down hard. The robot exploded in a small burst of flames. "Challenge of a lifetime?" said Lentra in a mockery. "Even that human could have taken down this robot!"

The ring was sitting on the far wall. Lentra got it and put it on. "This is terrific!" said Lentra. He felt his power level rise.

"I told you," Tratz responded. "Lets go. There are still 13 rings."

Gohan found another ring in the mountains by his old home. He had to outrun a very angry Cyclops, but that was a breeze. " Yeah! Ive got 3! I feel as though I am bursting with energy!" He set out to find the forth.

*****

As the day wore on, Pahn had found reasons to sit closer and closer to Cyba. She turned on the music and grabbed Cyba by the hand. He panicked. "What are you doing? This is crazy!" he yelled.

"Relax! We are just going to dance," Pahn told him. She guided his hands to her waist and put her hands around his neck.

"Is this normal for Earthlings?" Cyba asked.

"Its for fun," Pahn said. "To get to know each other."

"So by putting my hands on your waist and shuffling my feet Im getting to know you better?" Cyba said, still not getting it.

"Youre funny," she said as she put her head on his shoulder.

"O.K. Ive had enough of his!" yelled Trunks. "Cyba! You and me! Outside! NOW!"

"Dont be so jealous Trunks!" said Pahn.

"Im just going to teach him our customs here on Earth," said Trunks.

*****

Tratz and Lentra came across a human female with blonde hair, a machine gun, and 3 rings of power. She had gained a powerful ki.

"Give me the rings," ordered Tratz.

"You obviously dont know who you are dealing with," she said. " I am Launch. I dont take orders!" Tratz grabbed her by the arm.

"Give. Them. Now!" he said, enragedly. She kissed Tratz on the cheek, and in the same motion, kneed him in the stomach, flipped over his head, and kicked him in the back of the knee.

The attack had kicked up a lot of dust. Launch accidentally got a huge whiff of it. She started to sneeze.

"AhAhAh-----Ahchoo!" She returned to her normal form. "Where did these come from?" she wondered out loud, looking at the rings. She pulled them off her hand and threw them on the ground. "Oh well!" she said as she left. Tratz put on the rings.

"Very well done," said Lentra.

"Shut up unless you want me to kill you," Tratz told his underling.

"Yes sir," said Lentra.

*****

The Two fighters flew up in the air. Trunks powered up. Cyba powered up as well. Both of their power levels skyrocketed. Trunks even went as far as going Super Saiyan 2. Cyba stayed in his normal form. Cybas power level was barely higher.

"I will show you!" roared Trunks. He threw a flurry of punches and kicks at Cyba. Cyba dodged with ease. Trunks kicked. Cyba blocked. Trunks punched more. Cyba dodged more. Finally, Cyba threw a gut wrenching punch. Trunks fell to the ground, holding his stomach.

Trunks got up and fired many small energy blasts. Cyba dodged or deflected them all. Trunks was very angry. He shot the Super Saiyan Big Bang at Cyba. Cyba held up against it until Trunks shot another. And another. Cyba was starting to buckle under the pressure.

Cyba had only one thing he could do. He shot his powerful Orange Ray attack at the Big Bangs and repelled them. The energy attacks canceled each other out.

Trunks used the famous Final Blast attack. He had learned many attacks from his dad in the times of peace. Cyba saw it just in time and dodged it. If they werent flying, that attack would have destroyed the city.

Cyba flew over and did a basic Ax Heel Kick on Trunks. It hit him hard, but Trunks wasnt done yet.

*****

Lentra found 2 more rings. He had to go to a city to get one of them. He went to the sewers and ripped a crocodile in half by the stomach. The croc had eaten the ring and Lentra wanted it.

The other ring he got from a family of T-Rex dinosaurs. A baby T-Rex had it on its tail, so he simply tore the tail off and got the ring. He then made sport of it by killing off the rest of the T-Rex family.

"This is getting to be fun," he said.

*****

Emperor Pilafs henchmen presented a ring to him.

"Ha Ha Ha! I cant use the Dragon Balls anymore, so get me more rings!" he said.

*****

Gohan flew over to see Master Roshi at the Kame House. "Hi Gohan," said the old Master Roshi. "Im getting toward the end of my life. Yeponly a few more years now."

"Master Roshi," Gohan began, "I am on a quest to get these 15 rings of power. I was wondering if you knew where I might find one."

" Yeah. One washed up on the beach this morning," replied Master Roshi. "Here you go." He handed Gohan the ring. "How did you know I had one?"

"II feel as tough father is guiding me," Gohan admitted.

"Gokus spirit is with us all," Roshi told him. "Especially with you."

"Thanks Master Roshi. Ill see you later!" said Gohan.

"Have a good adventure mboy!" Roshi called after him.

Goten was at his house sleeping. In his dreams, he saw a giant evil getting stronger. Gohan was using the full extent of his power as a Mystic. Vegeta, Trunks, Cyba, and some Namek that looked like Piccolo were helping out. He awoke with a jolt and decided it was time to start training again.
