Meteor Strike; A Coming Threat

[Gareeku]

Hearing Kilix's voice come from behind him, Taruk gritted his teeth slightly. The saiyan was beginning to become frustrated with the Liixan, as he had not yet managed to land one hit on his furry foe. Not moving from where he stood, Taruk then made his next move. His tail suddenly move from being wrapped around the man's waist, flaring out at Kilix at lightning fast speed, the saiyan using the tail, to make a whip-like attack, before using one foot as a pivot, whirling around as his leg swung out into a powerful kick.

Vaxx was almost making her next assault, flipping over Taruk as she stuck out her legs in a double flying kick to the Liixan's head, before using her arm as a pivot as she executed a leg sweep, aiming to trip Kilix up before Taruk resumed his assault, going for a powerful punch aimed at the Liixan's gut.

[Archer]

Exactly as planned, Taruk had gone for another brutal attack straight to Kilix's person. However, what the Liixan hadn't expected was the flick attack from his tail. The opponents makeshift weapon caught Kilix across the cheek, doing little more than a soft sting, but Kilix then gave a grin before the tail could retract. From what he knew of Saiyans, this would hurt alot.

Expanding his grin in the split second he had, Kilix's glands started to pulse as he opened wide. In one swift motion, Kilix's jaws were snapping shut towards the Saiyans tail.

But whether this venture was successful or not, the Liixan still had at least one kick to dodge. Luckely, this was the point of his blatant exposure of position anyway. As soon as the first Saiyan boot was to be placed on his person, Kilix disapeared, merely a shimmer of his person remaining. He reapeared on top of a jagged mountain rock, leaning on one knee and looking down at the Saiyan warriors, like the predator looking upon his helpless prey.

"Still got all that confidence? Too bad you can't back it up." Said Kilix, a glimmer of superiority over these Saiyan scouts in his eyes. But the danger was still not passed, as Taruk launched himself at Kilix, and Kilix had let himself become slightly careless. The Saiyan's punch landed square in the centre of his gut, his armour taking the crest of the blow. Kilix gave a slight cough, to show the punch having done little to his actual health, but a powerful punch it was none the less, as Kilix's fingers ran over a dent, a crack even, in his Liixan armour.

"I wouldn't do that again If I were you." he said, but the Saiyan would not know how true his words were until it was too late. However, Kilix had now become even more annoyed with the arragant foe, and he decided to finish this quicker than he had already planned. His hands whipped to his sides, resting on the handles of The Sapphire and The Ruby, and a pulsation of Ki blazed the blades into existance.

Grinning slightly, his features emphisised under the blue and red glow, Kilix flipped off the rock towards the Female saiyan. First rule of conquering an enemy; Take out his reserves. The Liixan sent the Ruby striking straight towards the warriors Solar-Plexus, and the Sapphire slashing across her chest. Taruk was the real target, but Vaxx was his support, and therefore would be better to eliminate first.

[Gareeku]

Kilix had once again been successful in his attacks; his teeth sinking into Karuk's tail as he retracted it. The saiyan had tried to block out the pain during the rest of his assault, but suddenly gave in, grimacing as the pain he felt in his tail was incredible, due to his tail being somewhat of a weak spot. Holding his tail in his hands, Taruk noticed bite marks where Kilix's teeth had struck their target; two small trails of blood running from the pin-pricks visible through the tail's brown fur. Taruk quietly cursed himself as he observed his wounds. Normally he was a very level-headed man in battle, but it seemed that the Liixan he and his unit faced was a a tough opponent, the frustration Taruk held beginning to get the better of him, causing him to employ reckless attacks such as the on he had made with his tail.

Looking over, the Saiyan scout leader saw Kilix pull out two blades that were seemingly comprised of ki, proceed to launch an assault on Vaxx. Vaxx observed every second of the unfolding events and was ready. When Kilix executed his next attack, Vaxx went with her gut reaction and lent back, so much so that he planted her hands on the floor, using her flexibility to her advantage as Kilix's blades just missed their target, unless you could cutting off a few hairs from Vaxx tail, which was tied around her slender waist. From her position and noting Kilix's, Vaxx immediately made her next move. Bringing her legs up, Vaxx executed a backwards flip, her hands still planted on the ground as she brought her legs up to thunder into Kilix's jaw.

It was then that Taruk re-entered the fight, although he noticed his vision was somewhat slightly blurrier than normal, the reason for this unknown to him at this point. Disappearing, Taruk swung his elbow in as he reappeared behind his opponent, hoping to connect with the back of the Liixan's neck before flipping over Kilix and proceeding to attempt an uppercut to the Liixan's jaw before flipping away as Vaxx re-entered the fray, aiming a double axe handle smash to the Liixan's skull before performing a front-flip kick to Kilix's forehead.

[kihaku]

Kihaku saw the blasts the Liixan threw at him, and grunted in annoyance. "How rude..." They passed through him, and the sections they intersected blew apart and reappeared like smoke coalescing. He flew a little bit slower, noticing the fight intensifying.

Pausing in his flight, he began to wonder if the two warriors would hold their own. His musing were cut short when two Saiyans appeared before him, blocking his view.

"Kema jurlac, palusa e kraed ennuienla du iuor juac."

His crimson eyes pulsed, and suddenly, strong winds buffeted the two fighters, though they never touched Kihaku. He stood stock-still with his arms and legs pointing straight to the ground, waiting to see what these interlopers intended to do with him. Nirvana rattled in its sheath, and Oblivion twitched, though neither from the wind.

He hoped they would only want to talk for their sake, though from the looks of things, this wasn't on their to-do list.

[Garoten Reklor]

Falkan made the mistake of noticing the newcomer and the female Saiyan's departure to take him on. The result was several shattering blows from an enraged Joshin. The first was a fist that caught the V'alcan in the chest, sending him sliding backwards before a kick slammed into his ribs from the side. In the split second he he was tumbling sideways, Falkan managed to get his head back in the game. Evidently these new creatures experienced a boost from emotional upheaval much like Falkan and his kind.

At least that will keep things interesting.

Joshin's rage was driving him, resulting in an attack so relentless that it reminded Falkan of his own style. He almost admired the kid's guts. Almost. He found his feet and took a quick flip backwards to give himself some room. He had to keep one eye on Binesh, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to exploit Joshin's momentary loss of control. In most races, blind rage led to mistakes. All he needed was one, however miniscule. He blocked the next onslaught of attacks and waited for just the right moment...a kick that just a hair off course...there it was. Instead of simply blocking the incoming kick, Falkan attempted to grab it. If he succeeded, he would give a sharp twist on the boy's foot and send him spinning onto his face in the dirt. As he grabbed for the foot, his body was already in a forward motion to step on the Saiyan's back and pin him to the ground. That, he assumed, would give him a little leverage on the others. Unless these warriors were more like himself than he thought.

[Archer]

Kilix was slightly bewildered at the saiyan womens reactions. Although, she was a female, they usually were a bit smarter than males in most races. Luckely it seemed, glancing over a Taruk, that this race was one of those. As his blades glided swiftly over Vaxx's person, a few hairs from her fluffy 'belt' being scooped up, only to be burnt up by the Ki blades power.

Kilix knew that avoiding this first attack would take more effort than was worth it, so he simply braced himself for the pain as Vaxx's onslaught. However, when the strike struck, Kilix was taken aback, a slight crack in his neck occuring as the boots thundered into his chin. Maybe that would have been worth it after all...

However, no time to linger over past mistakes, he though to himself as he rubbed a bruise on his arm. Although one major one he may have had was entering this battle without properly recovering from the last. He chuckled slightly in this suspended moment he had. That child Tiraicho was more of a challenge than these two. A lot of potential in that boy.

But soon, Kilix's suspended daydream melted away, and the red alert signal was flashing in Kilix's mind. The microchip had picked up Taruk's position. I.e., Right behind him. Spinning round on the heel of his boot, Kilix snapped his arms into position, the Ki blades forming an "X" to block the attack. If Taruk carried it out, he'd have some very charred joints from now on.

However, it didn't finish there, as, in good health or otherwise, Taruk gone straight for an uppercut to Kilix's jaw. Acting quickly, and mostly on reflex, Kilix did a swift backflip, but whilst in midair he thought quickly of ways to exploit it. As he glided through the air, many things happened. Firstly, Kilix placed one hand on the floor, whilst the other reached up to his belt and clicked a small button, a see-through but misty capsule dropping into his hands. Meanwhile, his legs were attempting to grap the Saiyan Chief's arm, which had just been exposed due to the attack in question. If successful, the return journey to his feet would involve the Saiyan being flung across the battlefield into the mountianous rocks.

The small capsule that dropped from his belt was the next manouver, as Vaxx came forward for her next attack. Setting the Ki-M-P Grenade on "Low", he placed it in his fist, as the counter started to descend. No point giving everyone a disadvantage if it involved his comrades, better keep the blast small, he thought.

As Vaxx swung her arms down for the overhead smash, Kilix nimbly dived out of the way, but not without unleashing his weapon. He flicked his wrist, and the capsule flew through the air towards the female saiyan, directly towards her open mouth. However, entry into the saiyans body would not be an issue, as Kilix rolled away and a small number flashed on the device.

1

A small, soundless explosion occured, as the two compartments of his Ki-M-P Grenade seperated, and the compressed Ki burst outwards. However, the explosion was only small, about a metre in diametre, but seeing as Vaxx was caught dead in the centre of this, it would be very hard for her to escape it.

((I'm leaving the Flip-Kick till after you resolve what happens there. If shes hit by the blast, all her ki would get knocked out of her for a bit, as you remember And I guess that'd make her not do that attack. If she does, it'll be the first thing I respond to in my next post))

[Gareeku]

Finuk and Kasha had some difficult maintaining their positions as the winds blew against them, but they held on, their auras beginning to flare up as they readied themselves for the upcoming battle. "lets do this" Finuk growled, before yelling and surging forward, aiming a series of punches and kicks at various parts of Kihaku's body, before Kasha entered the fray, going for a powerful kick to her opponent's ribs, followed by two powerful ki blasts from the two saiyans.
_____________________________________________

Falkan's attempt at grabbing Joshin's leg was met with successful, the saiyan crashing into the dirt and grunting with pain as the V'alcan stood on him. Seeing this happen, Binesh charged forward, attempting to knock Falkan off of his comrade by aiming a thundering kick to the V'alcan's head, before launching a powerful ki ball from his hands as his aura shined brightly.
_____________________________________________

A yell of pain was emitted from Taruk's throat as the ki from Kilix's blades burnt his elbow, before a loud crashing sound was heard as Taruk's body was propelled into the rocks, before after a few seconds emerging from the rubble, cuts and bruises having appeared on various parts of his body. Vaxx meanwhile had seen the Ki-M-P grenade, and before she had the chance to move, was engulfed by the light the small device emitted from its detonation. Dropping to the ground, Vaxx suddenly found, with a considerable amount of shock, that she couldn't use her ki. Shrugging this new predicament from her mind, Vaxx continued her assault with the flip kick, before Taruk suddenly reappeared behind the Liixan a charged up ki being thrown by the saiyan, aimed at the Liixan's spine.

[Garoten Reklor]

Falkan's scowl turned smug as Binesh played right into his hands. He ducked under the kick aimed for his head and pivoted on his left foot, which was still planted firmly on Joshin's back, and threw his right foot into a high kick aimed at his attacker's groin. Whether that particular underhanded attack worked or not, Falkan had something bigger to worry about. He sensed a spike in energy and had only a moment in which to draw Rhiannon. The sword took it from there, throwing a shield out in front of its wielder that deflected most of the ki blast. Unfortunately, the move was just late enough that some of the energy got through and burned across Falkan's right arm.

"So, you want to play with fire, kid? Good!"

Still holding his ground on Joshin's back, Falkan charged a ki ball and hurled it at Binesh's face, followed by three others in rapid succesion.

[Archer]

((Dude, you didn't react to the block from my blades ))

Swift movement, a tactical mind, and a decent stratagy. That was the trio for a successful fighter. Luckely for Kilix, his opponents had none of these. Before any attacks were to be in place, Kilix deactivated his blades and resheathed them, ready for the next attack. Energy blades wern't necessary in this battle, it seemed. Vaxx, no completely powerless and with only her muscles to help her, lunged forward and executed a flip kick aimed at the Liixan's jaw. How many of these had he dodged now?

Only this time, he'd be dodging two attacks at once. As the boot swung towards his chin, he flipped backwards, twisting in the air to end up with his belly pointing towards the ground and his face at Taruk, who's Ki blast was now sailing under the airbourne Liixan and flying straight at Vaxx. Friendly fire is one thing, but this was just rediculous.

However, the fun didn't stop there. Kilix shot a reserve Ki boost from his armour suit, and in a burst of flight his was heading straight for Taruk at immense speeds, spinning slightly in the air and snapping his arms forwards, making a triangle shape with his fingers. The moment his hands were close enough, he burst open his Micro-shields, and, if successful in his attack, the Saiyan would now be pressed extremely hard against some very sharp rocks.

Successful or otherwise, the Liixan now found himself on the floor, so with a swift movement his was back on his feet. Standing now between the two saiyans, Kilix awaited the next attack, knowing that it wasn't long before the Saiyan leader was out of the fight, whether he liked it or not...

[Gareeku]

((OOC: whoops! sorry man, my post is edited for that now))

Throwing his hands out, Binesh managed to cushion the blow to his groin before throwing the ki ball, though a considerable amount of pain was still felt by the saiyan as he fell to one knee after throwing the ki ball, clutching his groin as he gritted his teeth. Joshin meanwhile had now had enough of the man, whom he viewed with growing hatred, who stood upon him, his aura flaring up as he attempted to throw the V'aclcan off of him, his aura burning with great intensity.
_____________________________________________

Observing Kilix jumping over his ki beam, Taruk quickly directed the attack upars in the sky so that it was not strike his comrade. How can a little one such as he be so powerful? Taruk thought to himself as he clutched his elbow, the burning pain surging through his burnt joint being quite considerable. However, Taruk looked up again to see the Liixan charging at him. The saiyan squad leader put his hands up to combat Kilix's assault, but this was not enough, the force of the Liixan's charged enough to slam him into some sharp rocks. Crying out in pain, Taruk found that even though his saiyan armour was tough, it was not tough enough to withstand such a blow, the harp rockes bursting through the armour and piercing his skin, a series of stinging pains now surging through his back. Getting up, Taruk looked his furry foe in the eye as he began to speak, the anger within him beginning to grow.

"You have fought well, little one. Very well indeed. However, the time for games has ceased! you will not leave this battle alive!" Taruk declared, his aura increasing in intensity as he charged up, Vaxx doing the same, her usual calm expression still visible on the female saiyan's face. Taruk however was beginning to feel the effects of the Liixan posion now in his blood, his vision now more blurry as he felt more drowsy. what is happening to me...? Taruk thought himself as he shook his head. Surging forward once again, Taruk had forgotten all tactics, choosing instead, with somewhat recklessness, to try and defeat his opponent once and for all with sheer force, going for a series of punches and kicks to various of the Liixan's body, finishing off with a yell as he surged his fist forward in a powerful punch to the Liixan's gut. Little did the saiyan know at that point that this last part of his reckless assault would cost him...

[kihaku]

The attacks were relentless, but none of them connected. In wraith mode, he was untouchable. Literally.

Teleporting out of the danger zone, he reappeared behind the two warriors. They were strong, but Kihaku hadn't been idle the years he'd been on Dragonia. Throwing forward two blasts of Ki from each hand, he aimed them for their backs.

A coward's errand, but effective none the less.

Whether they hit or not would determine the strength with which they fought. He was hiding his own level, so he knew they were bound to underestimate him... and make a dire mistake. He didn't want to kill them, but he also didn't want to die, therefore he resolved on simple maiming.

Flying in after his Ki blasts, a split second before they made contact, he pulled off Oblivion, and made to, for lack of a better term, whack, no strike his opponents. The blade was retracted, so it looked to be a night black staff. Simple, but effective.

[Garoten Reklor]

Falkan's one and only physical disadvantage was the fact that V'alcans were extremely lightweight. Fortunately, his weighted cloak more than made up for his own lightness. Unfortunately, even that wasn't enough to overcome Joshin's raw strength. Even as Binesh went down for a moment, Falkan felt himself being toppled off of his perch on Joshin's back. A quick handspring put him on his feet facing the two warriors. He noted with satisfaction that the one who's tail he had mutilated seemed enraged beyond all reason. The light that blazed around the man seemed to indicate that these warriors did, in fact, become more powerful with anger. That was okay - Falkan had no doubts that he could compete with them on brute power. He was after a tactical advantage. It was still two to one, but the time had come to even the odds.

In what would appear a foolish move to the Saiyan warriors, Falkan suddenly - turned around. He turned his back completely to the two and remained that way, as if daring them to attack him from behind. It was what the two didn't see that he hoped would give him the advantage. The second his back was turned to the two, Falkan teleported - out of his cloak. As he reappeared behind a convenient outcropping of rock, he put his realm-bending powers to use and filled in the space he had left in his cloak with a column of solid rock. All this he did so quickly that, if the warriors were looking very hard, they might notice the slightest movement in the cloak, as if its occupant had merely shifted his weight a little. While their attention was (hopefully) on the cloak, Falkan launched his next assault. Without the weight of the woven metal coat, the V'alcan's speed was greatly increased. He appeared almost instantly behind the two and let fly a barrage of ki blasts, interwoven with rocks picked up and hurled along via his bending skills. The technique was more tiring than plain ki would be, but he hoped it would be worth the effort. While the dozens of blasts were still headed for their targets, Falkan made his next move.

Teleporting off to the right of the two, he put his speed to use and tore past in front of them, throwing a high punch for Joshin's head and a low kick to take out Binesh's knee along the way. He skidded slightly on the end f his run and flashed past again, striking similarly at the two before teleporting above them to watch them deal with the ki/rock assault. The whole process took less than two seconds...but he didn't know if it would be fast enough.

[Archer]

((Permitted control of Taruk))

"You have fought well, little one. Very well indeed. However, the time for games has ceased! you will not leave this battle alive!"
"Heard it before," Kilix said calmly, trying his very best to frustrate the Saiyan beyond belief, "Never happened yet..."

As expected, this comment drove Taruk slowly but surely over the edge. All tactical reasoning went out the window as he rushed at the little Liixan, the worlds best proof that size DOES NOT matter. Kilix blocked the punches and batted away the kicks, but one that managed to get through the Liixan's defences was the Gut-wrenching punch. A definate crack was heard as the fist struck.

As Taruk pulled his fist away, and Kilix coughed quite hard, he saw a thin coating of a soft, silver substance on his knuckles. Looking at the Liixan's armour, he saw a pocket behind the metal, filled with the same substance, which was now beginning to slowly fizz a purple colour. Kilix braced himself for the pain, as he spoke the last words Taruk would ever hear, that is, if he even heard them properly in his poisoned state;

"I warned you."

Taruk started to protest, not to anyone in particular but more to the cruel diety that allowed him to be beaten by a midget like this creature. As his fist was enflamed, and in an instant, the metal known so well as Sodium exploded, not causing too much Damage to Kilix due to his remaining armour, but a hell of a lot more to Taruk...

After the blinding flash, Kilix stepped forward. Shreds of Saiyan armour lay on the ground, and Kilix kicked away the remains of a charred leg. Even for someone so evil, this was not a proper way to go. Well, he thought to himself, I did warn him. Turning his attention now to Vaxx, after saying a quick "Sorry for the bang," to his allies, he spoke once again.

"Are you still going to fight me or should I just kill you here and now?" The Liixan may have seemed heartless, but as he well knew, violence was sometimes the only way to get the job done.

[Gareeku]

Finuk and Kasha suddenly felt sharp pains in their backs as the ki blasts from Kihaku slammed into them, sending them flying forward a couple of meters. The two saiyans then powered up as they parried the strikes then made by their opponent, though not without a stinging pain being felt in their arms as they did so. The two then suddenly made their attacks immediately after, Finuk aimes a powerful gut punch as Kasha swung her leg in for a powerful kick to the head, followed by the two of them releasing two powerful ki beams.
_____________________________________________

As Falkan turned round, Joshin smirked. "Heh, i knew it. This guy's too afraid to fight us anymore" Joshin sneered, Binesh giving him a disapproving look in response. It was then that Joshin's smug expression turned to one of shock and pain as a rock hit him in the back of the head. Whirling round, the two saiyans saw the barrage of ki and rock that Falkan had created, and so braced themselves, firing back ki in return as they tried to nullify the ki attacks and vaporise the rock. Once the barrage ceased it was clear that some of the ki and rock had hit their targets; Binesh and Joshin now covered in cuts and bruises all over their body.

However, Falkan's assault was not finished yet. A fist came out of nowhere and slammed into Joshin's jaw, while a loud crack was heard as Falkan's foot slammed into Binesh's knee, fracturing the bone as the saiyan yelled out in pain, the V'alcan doing the same again from the other side, completely breaking the bone in Binesh's knee while another loud crack was heard as Joshin's jaw bone broke from the force of Falkan's punch. With Joshin clutching his jaw in sheer pain, and Binesh unable to move his leg, the two of them were now sitting ducks...
_____________________________________________

Witnessing her leader's death at the hands of the Liixan, Vaxx was now filled with a feeling she had never felt before in her life; fear. To find that a small creature such as Kilix could destroy a saiyan warrior like Taruk was, to her because of her inexperience of other races, unbelievable. This was further enforced when she turned to see the damage that Falkan had inflicted upon Binesh and Joshin. Sweat now trickled down her face as she stood still, having no idea what to do as she continued to stare at the remains of what was once the leader of their scout squadron...

[kihaku]

Kihaku took the blow to the gut, but weaved out of the vector of the head shot. The pain in his stomach roiled and tossed his senses, but they were quickly regained in his state of battle-rage.

Making a backflip in midair, he finally decided on a due course of action. He stopped hiding his power level, which would only hinder his next attack. When he let it go, the Saiyans must surely have been suprised at the jump from nothing to something so much higher than their own.

He pulled his legs together and locked them straight. He set his arms out to his sides at a 45 degree angle, and concentrated on nothing. Pulling everything, even existence, out of a small space half again the size of a basketball. Splaying his fingers, two pitch black orbs formed beneath his palms. Through the gloom in his hood, he was slowly passing judgment on his attackers.

He found them deserving of punishment.

Kihaku shouted the name of his technique loudly to help with concentration, and threw his hands forward.

"Spectersphere!!"

Kihaku's arms, after following through with the barrage, were crossed over his chest in an "x" shape. He watched as his sentence was passed out.

The twin spheres of negation came too fast to be dodged, thier very nature to be at exact odds with everything. It passed through the air with lightning speed. Without a twitch of regret, Kihaku watched the spheres passed through Finuk's right arm and Kasha's left leg. They were instantly severed from their bodies, blood splashing into the air as the negation canceled out anything it passed through.

The pain would be isntantaneous.

The limbs hit the ground below with a sickening thud. Kihaku observed their seperate reactions, and prepared for anything.
