The Tyrant Emerges! (Saga/Open)

[Ethar Luxun]

For a quick second, Ethar thought his plan would work. But it was quickly dashed when Frieza powered up to more then two times what he had before. "Ah crap." He said, as he saw Frieza begin to make his move.

Now to Ethan and Celeh, Frieza might of just vanished to attack Ethar, but the Noran hybrids senses were higher then theirs, including his sight and reflexes. This allowed him to barely see Frieza's speed and saw the attacks coming. Quickly leaping back, Ethar narrowly dodged the kicks, but the tail whip hit its marker, slamming Ethar in the side, causing him to sprawl to the side.

This caused the illusion to disintegrate like dust in the wind as he seemingly reverted back to his Silver Super Saiyan form, as his PL seemed to sink back down to 1.2 Mil. Ethar felt a sharp pain in his side from where the tail hit. There was definitely some damaged ribs. but he wasnt out of the fight. "Damn, he hits hard...really hard..." He said, as he quickly got back up to his feet. Then...Ethar seemed to start laughing? Did Frieza also hit his head and he didnt know it?

No. Ethar felt Adrenaline rushing through him like never before. "Hahaha, Come on Frieza, Lets play." He said, as he extended a energy sword out of both of his arms. And whats more, Each one seemed to spark with heavy amounts of electrcity.

If Celeh and Ethan were gonna have a plan, Ethar was going to buy them as much time as he could.

Rushing at Frieza with his Zanzoken, Ethar would attempt to slash at the Tyrant with his electrified swords.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

”Oh-ho ho ho ho!” Freiza laughed as his hits connected and Ethar was knocked out of his “transformation”. He seemed rather pleased with this outcome, even with the monkey’s rather obnoxious show of stupidity. However, the Emperor’s sights had already been set to whip him out.

”Clever parlor trick, though you’re lacking in the execution.” he noted, seeming to take little effort to use his speed to quickly brush past Ethar and behind him as he was slashed, evading them completely, ”Even for a monkey I find you surprisingly ignorant,” He scoffed, then held up a finger, waggling it in the air, ”You’re already well aware that this is no façade, yet you continue to rush into battle. If you’re in such a hurry to die, I can oblige,” with that, his fingertip pointed at Ethar and fired a thin, pink, piercing Death Beam towards his right shoulder.

If it struck, he’d laugh manically, though his eyes would not fall from the Saiyan, ”I said I can, not that I would.” For now, the situation was his. It seemed the blue-haired pest and the other monkey were scheming together, though that was of no concern to Frieza in his current form. And keeping the brutish one at bay was easy enough. He’d have this whole planet under his foot shortly, and already plans were being formed for it’s future; the small one that it might have. For now, he'd take his time and enjoy the chance to have a little fun.

[Celeh]

Celeh was practically seething. Her teeth were gritted behind the usual stoic expression she often carried. The soldier was about as on edge as a person could be without diving off the deep end. Things were playing out almost exactly like they had back on Mement Mor. The enemy was powerful...too powerful. Much more powerful than her ally and the would-be hero. There was currently no one for her to do battle with, but she was still forced to watch a clash of powers above her that was far beyond what she could keep up with. Their speed was so much that she could only catch glimpses of their movement even with the distance between them. When Ethan approached, though, Celeh was a little surprised. He wanted to hear her ideas for a plan on how to gain an upper hand against this monster? It's true that she probably had more combat experience than them, but that wasn't for certain. Both of them had fought in the war for Earth. She'd done countless missions before that, though. Still, if he valued her opinion that much, she'd at least give him the best plan she could come up with. Even with that...it was a long shot.

"I'm surprised you'd come to me for advice in the heat of battle. Still, I'll make it short. I don't know how well either of you can hold up against him, but if what you say is true then your best bet is to gather energy for a defensive maneuver and create an opening. Wait until the lizard is about to make a hasty assault on Ethar, then rush in and deflect him or wall him off. In that moment, Ethar will get time to recover, however small. You'll have priority if you interfere, but you may want to make a snide remark to keep his attention so Ethar doesn't get crippled from a follow-up. Hopefully Ethar will understand what you're trying to do. That should give him time to gather energy for a comeback assault, but...you'll have to survive and keep Freiza occupied for the time being." She took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Regardless of how you slice it, survival isn't guaranteed. You knew that already, I'm sure, but this is the best I can come up with. It's probably quite similar to what you had already surmised yourself. At this point there is next to nothing I can do that might have an impact on this battle. He's so far beyond my level of ability that it's infuriating. Good luck and be careful out there. Don't let that idiot get broken too badly, either, if you can help it." She had spoken all this in a fairly hushed tone, so only Ethan would be able to hear her. Her eyes never wavered from watching the fight. Celeh nodded to Ethan and then looked back to the battle immediately.

[Ethan Snow]

"Yeah, that is pretty much what I was thinking too. If I can keep his attention that'd be great... If Ethar is already a mess by the time I get that attention though, we'd be screwed..." Ethan replied after listening to Celeh's suggestion for a battle plan, then stopped for a moment to think. "If he's got any of those bitch beans, that might give us the edge we need... In fact, I think I found a way you can help." he added perking up a bit. "When I do get frosty's attention, I need you to make sure he gets one... In fact here... If he doesn't have one, you can use mine." the blue haired boy continued, digging around in his pocket before pulling out a small cellophane baggie containing a single bean. "Just make sure it get's back to me if he doesn't need it, My mom would kill me if she found out I gave it away." Ethan joked, forcing the bag into the young woman's hand, he wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer.

Once the handoff was made, Ethan took back to the sky, riding his board aloft over the city while the battle raged, though in truth it was decidedly more one-sided and would more aptly be called a pasting. Ethan couldn't afford to feel sorry for Ethar though, nor angry at him for screwing up the plan in the first place, the facts were simply the facts and he would have to adapt to the situation. Attaining a stable hover over the city, Ethan spread his arms out to the sides palms directed down at the ground and started to extend his will out over the network of water-mains below. Much like he'd done at Ethar's house some months ago, the shirtless teen cleared his mind of as much distraction as he could manage, closed his eyes and concentrated. Feeling out every pipe, every garden hose, fire hydrant, sewer line, heck even kitchen sinks and toilets were fair game. Every ounce of water within a mile in every direction started to vibrate in tune with Ethan's will. Infused with his power, something as innocuous as a glass of water could be transformed into a deadly weapon and given the severity of the threat, Ethan might just have to use it as such.

{Charge 1.}

[Ethar Luxun]

Even after his slashes missed, Ethar had quickly spun on his heel incase an attack came from the side. When he saw Frieza wasnt there, he thought he made a grave mistake. But out of the corner of his eye, He spotted the Tyrant, and he was making the same mistake he would normally do. He was talking before acting, giving him the few precious seconds he needed to crouch down, causing Frieza's deadly beam to miss its narrow target.

And since he didnt dissipate his electrical swords, he made the one on his left hand vanish, focusing the energy in the right one. He clunched his fist while he faced Frieza while crouching down.

What Ethar did next would be quite unexpected. Using every bit of energy he had, and every ounce of strength he had, all while moving as quickly as he could, Ethar threw a very powerful uppercut right into Frieza's chin. All while yelling "Shoryuken!" in reference to a fighting video game He saw some children playing in an arcade game some time ago. If such an attack hit, Ethar hoped it would be enough to not only catch Frieza by surprise, but knock him on his ass to, and hopefully give his friends a brief opening to do whatever they were planning to do.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

As his beam shot right above it's target, Frieza's eyes narrowed, a growl escaping him. Ethar acted quickly, darting forwards to draw back a fist and delivered a powerful ki packed uppercut with an explosive finish. As the fist connected with Frieza's chin, his head shot backwards, his body rolling back with him. In the moment, it truly seemed like Ethar had actually caught him by surprise.

Nevertheless, in his transformed state, it would take far more than the kind of power the Hybrid was packing to knock him out. Feigning pain, he rolled back, only to quickly spring his tail into action, lashing it outwards towards Ethar's neck, intent to grab him and lift him off the ground. If successful, Frieza would straighten his back to reveal a cocky grin, and then quickly deliver a heavy punch at Ethar's unguarded stomach.

[Celeh]

Celeh didn't bother trying to reason with him. The beans were a necessity on the battlefield in this day and age. Every time she went out on a mission as a squad back in the military they always carried at least a couple for emergency purposes. Pride usually kept them from using the beans when they were capable of resisting being fed one, but when push came to shove and they were too injured to prevent it, the beans saved lives. She nodded to Ethan and took it from him. She had nothing else to say, really. For the rest of this battle it seemed as if she was doomed to be a bystander, basically little more than a common citizen watching the battle for the fate of the planet play out up close. Her teeth gritted and her fists clenched, the bean in one hand, but she didn't dare move away from the battle any further than she already was. When the time came, she'd have to pick Ethar up off the cracked pavement and stuff a bean in him to get him in fighting condition again. In the back of her mind, though, the soldier wondered one very important thing...where was their green haired friend? She had been mostly absent for the battle in Central City before...and now she was absent here as well. Was there another threat they didn't know about? Or was she just really late?

[Ethan Snow]

With the city's water pulsating under his control and that control becoming stronger with every moment, Ethan continued to extend his will over every molecule of the substance in every pipe, storm drain and sewer, all the while maintaining a stationary hover above the battle. With so much of his attention on extending his control, the boy's attention to the other details in his surroundings was somewhat limited. He was vaguely aware of the fight going on below him and could tell from what little of it he had seen, that Ethar was greatly outclassed. Unfortunately the other man didn't seem to realize this, and unbeknownst to Ethan, as he hadn't yet re-opened his eyes, had been maneuvered into a position to receive a gut punch that would have made the boy envious. Given the power disparity between the two, it was practically a foregone conclusion that Ethar would very soon be experiencing the kind of internal ache that Ethan was very well acquainted with. Of course the shirtless, blue haired teen was largely oblivious to this and it likely wouldn't be until Ethar groaned, gasped, or gagged from the strike that he would learn of it and perhaps only then open his eyes. Until then though, his power and control over the water beneath the ground continued to grow. If successful, his plan would definitely get Frieza's attention, as he was intending to use the vast reserve under the city street in a most unorthodox and decidedly painful manner.

{Charge 2.}

[Ethar Luxun]

Ethar was happy his uppercut hit its marker, but his smile as Frieza quickly recovered and snagged Ethar by the neck with his tail. His first reaction was to grab the tail, and try to pry it off of him, but the Tyrants grip was too tight.

But Ethar's physical struggle was quickly cut short as Frieza's fist was brutally embedded in his gut. "Gaaach!" He said, as air was forced out of his lungs. Pain shot up through his body, but he remained conscious but the pain sear him like lightning.

But that is when it came to him. Lightning. He was so close to Frieza, and his hand-to-hand skills were lacking, but he had something that no other fighter had, and that was Magic, and one of the most volatile kind, especially when used correctly.

His face twisted into a grin, as he looked right into Frieza's eyes. "Do me a favour Frieza, Hold onto me and dont let go." He said. As Ethar's aura flared up. "I hope you two got something planned. Ethan... Celeh... If I fail with this, Ill more then likely be killed or worse." He thought as massive amounts of electrical energy, DC current, started to fill his body, and since Frieza was in direct contact with him, the Acrosian would conduct the current into his body as it would build up. This caused electrical arcs to become visible that seemed to come off of his aura, and streak across the ground.

(Life Force Charge 1)

[Ethan Snow]

Exploding out of another disruption in space over the formerly sleep little town, a lone space pod streaked across the sky, decelerating rapidly as it arced over the region of battle. Moments later the craft touched down in the middle of street not far from Celeh, landing with grace usually uncharacteristic of the machines. Usually one expected them to simply smash into the ground like a meteor, this time however the pilot seemed to be taking great care to set the vehicle down without damaging it. The craft hummed for a few moments more before the white plasma field surrounding it dissipated and it's engines rumbled down to a stand still. A few moments more and the hatch in the front of the craft opened with a pneumatic hiss and out stepped it's occupant.

His white hair flowing in the breeze, the red skinned alien looked about quickly, noting the presence of his master Frieza, beating the snot out of some half clothed, silver haired humanoid. His gaze then turned to the woman standing by in Saiyan armor, a smirk crossing his face. And then by chance he looked skyward and noted a second, half clothed humanoid, hovering in mid air on some sort of energy platform, his arms spread out as if he was pretending to fly while doing just that. His certainly was a tempting target, the guy's eyes weren't even open. But first he had his responsibilities to attend to and then he could have some fun. Looking back to his little ship and leaning inside, he looked to see if the computer was doing it's job, then straitened and then tapped the control button on his scouter a few times before speaking to the device.

"This is Jeice. I'm safely on the other side. Let the tech boys know everything worked like a charm. The pod's in once piece and the computer's sending back data... I landed right where Lord Frieza predicted, but he's fighting some people here. I turned on the self destruct incase they get sneaky... Oh, and let Burter know I'm gonna go have some fun without him." the red skinned alien stated aloud, his smirk returning as he concluded his message and then turned to regard first the woman, then the boy floating above the battle, then the woman again. Sauntering towards her as if the battle had already been won and they owned the planet, Jeice approached the lady in Saiyan armor, his smirk never leaving his face.

"Well lookie what we have here, a lady monkey." he chuckled and glanced at the boy above once more. "You should let your friend know it's not smart to float around like that. Someone could take his head off while he isn't looking."

[Celeh]

She saw the red skinned alien arrive, and even took the time from watching the main event to keep an eye on him as he approached. His glances back and forth between Ethan and herself had her concerned, but when he started spouting off nonsense about taking off someone's head before they were looking, she laughed. "It's rather silly of you to think that. I guarantee you that he's already well aware of the fact that you're here and where you are. Besides, even if someone did happen to make an attempt as bold and brazen as you've just described, they'd find a certain Lady Monkey taking their head off before they got close." One snide remark deserved another, right?

The saiyan woman glanced over her shoulder, "Listen, if you want a bit of entertainment while this fight between monsters happens, why don't we step away into that clearing on the other side of that treeline. I've been getting rather frustrated and bored myself, if I'm being honest. It's not like I could step in and fight against that purple and white lizard, but you...you I can have a good throw down with. So what do you say? Wanna tango with this Lady Monkey and let the big boys do their thing?"

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Frieza grinned sadistically as he stood, wringing the life out of the monkey. However, somehow managing to squeak through the grip of his tail, he spoke. Frieza's eyes narrowed as the man's aura flared up around him. Suddenly, the Icer began to feel a tingle moving up his tail, and this brought a look of confusion to his face. Before he could release his grip, the tingle grew to a shock, causing all this muscles to spasm. His ever firm grip on the man's neck tightened even more, and Freiza's chest bounced a few times as he was shocked.

Then...

"Oh.. Oh-ho ho hoho! Ahahahahahahahahaha!" His manical laughter cut through the air like a sword, echoing throughout the land, "You must be mistaken, pathetic monkey," he cackled, very slowly fighting against the current running through his body to raise a hand, "The only favor I'll being doing you is ending your miserable existence!"

With a hardy jerk to the side, Frieza sent a hardy kick to Ethar's side once more, breaking his tail away and sending the Saiyan flying towards the horizon. Turning his attention to his crimson-skinned comrade, he smiled, "Ah, Jeice, right on time, as expected. I'll take care of the wet rag. You make sure that other monkey stays out of my way," he said, referring to Celeh as he pointed a hand out and unloaded a barrage of pink blasts at Ethar's direction.

[Ethan Snow]

Continuing to hover over the battle, his arms spread wide, eyes closed and mind focused on the task of extending his immaterial grasp over ever available molecule of free moisture, Ethan almost missed the sounds of the alien spacecraft landing. His focus was such that the red skinned being could have indeed done as he threatened and struck the boy, however given the amount of power currently at the shirtless teen's command, it likely would have been his last act in this life. Thankfully Celeh had stepped in on his behalf and warmed the intruder not to try it. Her supposition was indeed correct, at least in part, Ethan knew Jeice was present but was not making any effort to keep track of him, all of his attention was needed on the task at hand. So much water was under his control now and vibrating with ever more increasing amounts of energy that to lose focus would probably be catastrophic for the entire region. He had never extended his will over his much water before nor with this amount of power behind it and the strain was starting to show it's self as the shirtless teen was covered in sweat. Beads of the clean liquid ran down his thin, muscular form while still more clung to his tanned skin in a muscle tone accentuating sheen. Were he to look at himself, the boy probably would have made some offhand comment about trying to seduce the bad guy into giving up, such was his style, however as it was, the only thing Ethan was looking at at the moment, was the backsides of his eyelids.

{Charge 3.}

[Ethar Luxun]

Ethar felt that as he put out more electricity, he could feel the Tyrants grasp squeezing tighter and tighter. His plan was working... for a time, until Frieza fought back for control and sent a hard kick into Ethar's already damaged rib cage. When the kick impacted, both parties could feel various bones breaking. Ethar most of all, as sharp pains wrecked through his body, as the impact of the attack forced Ethar to be ejected from the area.

He tried t ofigure out which way was up, and if there was any obstacles in his path as he soared through the air. With an Electrical charge left over in his body, he saw some pink blasts coming his way, as he pained himself to stop his spinning and face the blasts. He held an arm out, and discharged his energy in a blast of his own energy. The energy collided, but quickly, Ethar saw it had no effect as the pink blasts pierced his attacks, and soared right at him.

"Shit..." Ethar said as he held his arms up to block the attack. Unfortunately, the blasts were too powerful as they slammed into Ethar, piercing his body, and blew right through him.

Moments later, Ethar came crashing to the ground. His hybrid blood pooling underneath him.

"Damn it... I cant....why cant I...get up?" He asked himself, as he tried to pick himself up but his body failed to respond. He felt the pool of blood underneath him, and he knew right there.... He was done. His power level started to drop rapidly, as Ethar failed to keep himself powered up. Even after reverting to his base form, his power level continued to drop as his vision started to blur.

"No...This cant be the end... I have...Promises..to keep...." He thought, as some tears started to stream from his eyes. Images of Summers dying in his arms crossed his mind, all the memories he made with her. Even the image of his mother came to his mind. He did promise her that he would come home when things cooled down on Nor, and his uncle was more supporting of his mothers choices.

Ethar fought to keep himself conscious, but he could barely keep his eyes open. Ethar had multiple holes in his body, some one can see clearly through his body. Ethar was even more then sure his broken ribs had pierced multiple organs in his body. Even his healing ability failed him...

"Ohkara...where are you...." He thought...

[Ethan Snow]

Looking up to regard the blue haired teen once more when Celeh insisted that the boy was aware of his presence, the red skinned alien snorted. "Yeah, right. And I'm the queens of Space England." he retorted incredulously. She went on to try and taunt him into battling her one on one, though in all honesty he'd rather go for the seemingly easy target hovering overhead, low hanging fruit as it were. Frieza though settled the matter, taking a few moments from giving the... just how many shirtless guys were running around here anyway?... other shirtless guy a pasting to direct him to keep the woman out of his nonexistent hair.

"Yes my Lord Frieza!" Jeice shouted and turned to face his assigned opponent. "Well there doesn't appear to be any point in arguing the matter Sheila. After you." Jeice stated and assumed a somewhat goofy posture, midway between gallantly holding his hand out for her to take the lead and a squat thrust. He would of course let her walk or fly, which ever she preferred as long as she moved in the right direction and did it quickly, Jeice knew well the price for disobedience and wasn't about to risk it if she dawdled, and if she did, a crasher ball would certainly provide a good motivator to stay out of Lord Freiza's way.
