Sakar laughs as Gozu's effort is put to shame. But then a sudden beep causes him to look over at another screen, showing Shiro entering. He types a few commands into the computer. "So... he's a strong fighter. Unfortunately he will not be able to join his allies right now... HAHAHA!!!!" Sakar laughs like a maniac.
He types in a few commands onto another keyboard.

Julia's personality is slipping away... being replaced by some kind of efficiency, but she's still on the good guys' side. "Listen, everyone! Don't be afraid! She may have transformed, but she's tired! You guys seem to have worn her down, and I've stolen a chunk out of her stamina. We just have to hold on! Plus, you've got me, and if anyone can keep up with her..." Her face twitches for a moment, her expression being replaced by a slightly unnatural grin for Julia... "...I can!"
Not giving Roa the chance to 'get adjusted to her new powers' Julia makes a few quick hand motions, and releases a flaring ball of ki at Roa. It's nothing powerful... merely a distraction. Plus, should it actually hit it will stun Roa anyway, which is perfect. Oh, not to mention that Julia is behind Roa out of sight anyway, so who knows... it looks like it's going to hit anyway, thanks to Julia's attack being completely unsensable.
Julia dashed out sideways using her speed combined with Mirror Image to vanish completely. While her movements are almost untraceable, she made to dash around for an opening where she wouldn't be in Gozu or Nai's way, and made her move to strike Roa... she thrust one hand's bladed fingers for Roa's torso in the side. It seems both her hands have the deadly blades surrounding her fingers now, and should she still have Roa in range, she'll begin making diagonal slashing patterns until Roa escapes or fights back. She's well aware that if Roa hits her... it's going to hurt... but that's why she's trying to keep her from getting an opening using her Deathly Touch blades.

Sorry, this post is TERRIBLE because this battle isn't flowing quickly enough for me to keep my mind in it.

As Shiro walks forward, he will find that the ground below him suddenly opens, and he'll fall into a seemingly bottomless pit. As soon as he falls down, the ceiling from which he came from closes, and lasers begin to shoot right from over his head and sustaining themselves there, forming a laser will that Shiro would be smart to not go up into.
He'll land into a large, rectangular room with nothing but pavement. The wall far in front of him will slide open. Lasers will come firing out of it, and eventually many, many androids will be in front of Shiro, firing lasers at him as the wall behind them closes.

When Shiro felt the floor beneath him disappear, it took him a moment to recover enough to start floating. Then the lights went out and as he looked up, lasers began crossing over the door. Guess someone doesn't want me watching. He looked down, to a small area of light further down in the hole. Guess I should check what's down there. He thought as he floated lower. He flipped upside down as he neared the bottom, sticking his head out to see what was down there. He pulled it back as a barrage of lasers shot at it. Great, opponents. At least I won't be bored while I wait.

Shiro 'sat' in the space above the android, thinking. Well, I really don't want to waste energy on those guys, but I can't exactly go back up. So, there's not really much choice for me, is there.

Shiro drew his swords. Still, that doesn't mean I have to waste too much energy. And with that thought he falls through the hole, firing blasts of ki from his fists at the first few androids.

Gozu watches as his attack dissapates into nothing as Roa's power level skyrockets. That's not good. Gozu thinks he gets in a defensive stance simply nodding at what Julia said. She sure is confident He thinks to himself.

12. By the time Julia was finished with her hand signs, Roa had adjusted and disappeared, avoiding the attack. She reappeared in front of Nai, sending a kick at his stomach. She would then reach forward, trying to grab his arm. If she did, she'd start swinging him around rapidly, possibly even forcing his arm to stretch, and effectively keeping anyone coming at them away. After swinging him around for a few seconds, she would let go, firing a pair of eye lasers at his chest. Should they hit, two explosions would result where they impact.

As Roa disappears, Nai attempts to let his aura flare out. Before he emits any energy, Roa appears in front of him, sending the kick through his stomach. The wind immediately gets knocked out of Nai as his arms are grabbed. As he's swung around, he becomes dizzy, unable to concentrate.
As he flies back, he feels a piercing, concentrated pain his chest. He'd shout, as the lasers exploded on his chest. He'd hit the ground hard, and bounce a few times. He slowly gets up, looking down at his chest. The clothing is literally burnt off and he even sees a few little holes in his chest.
All of this will happen, unless Julia and Gozu try to stop Roa. If they interrupt Roa before she fires the eye lasers, Nai will have enough time to recover from the pain and empower himself with a final impact esque aura, and he'll actually dash at Roa and launch his own flurry of punches and kicks at her, being sure to stay clear of Julia. The aura will close a fair amount of the gap between him and Roa, enough so that his attacks are faster and trickier to avoid, but not enough so that he's actually stronger.

4.
Another twitch in Julia's face, and then... "Damn, she got away!" Luckily, this means she didn't waste any energy dashing around and trying to attack, and the Burning Attack she used was pretty weak, too.
But while Roa is busy swinging Nai around, Julia leaps up to the ceiling, runs along it, and then jumps down from it above Roa, flipping around and aiming to send a neck-breaker kick, which... unfortunately... won't be breaking Roa's neck due to Roa's power, but, it's the same style as one, and can still cause a bit of dizziness from the shock.
Following up after this, Julia thrusts down with one of her hands, aiming to stab Roa in the shoulder, as close to the neck as possible, with the deathly fingers of one hand.

Gozu is quickly over his shock of Roa transforming. He sees Julia fire her attack and Roa disappearing and grabbing Nai. Gozu rushes over but is kept away from Roa spinning. As soon as Nai is thrown Gozu goes for a slide kick trying to take Roa's legs out from under her which would might make Julia's neck breaker easier.

13. Julia's kick connected, forcing Roa to release Nai a little early. However, since he was headed towards the corner of a nearby building anyway, that didn't matter. The kick, combined with Gozu's, knocks Roa from the rooftop to the ground, allowing her to avoid Julia's stab. Roa caught herself about an inch above the ground and, finding these buildings annoying, flew off, stopping near the middle of the base. She'd begin charging energy, eyes flashing with power.

5.
Julia drops down to her feet, and leaps off in pursuit of Roa. As she soars through the air, she's making hand motions. She then thrusts both her arms out aimed directly at Roa, and releases a stunning ball of ki hurtling at her.
Roa will most likely try to use what she's charging to overcome Julia's attack, but Roa will find her charge... is gone. "This should definitely catch her! Gozu and Nai need an opening, so if this hits... it'll be their chance!"

Post by Nai on May 30, 2009 14:11:40 GMT -5
Since Nai doesn't get hit by the eye lasers, and Roa's throw was cut off a little bit he is given enough time to recover. He backflips repeatedly as he flies back into the corner. But after five or so flips, an energy trail is suddenly seen leading upwards, right in front of the corner. Nai can be seen rising upwards, fists on his hips. He would appear to be rising upwards at a pretty slow pace, though.
This was just all an illusion. Nai appears right behind Roa, aura flared final impact style. But wait, it looks like Nai is frozen still! All of a sudden, Roa is surrounded by Nais all in different fighting stances. They all pull out a piece of metal, with a blue laser coming out. The laser swords are all pointing at her.
From one of the many mirror images, right to the side of Roa, a sword begins slashing in a complete flurry at her. If Roa keeps her place, she'll find that the laser sword is just going through her, as this is just an illusion! But by the time this happens, she may feel a real laser slice into her from her left. This is actually Nai, slicing rapidly in a fury at her aiming for the chest and up.
If Roa tries to escape being surrounded by Nai mirror images, Nai will appear right in front of her with his knee already aimed towards the face. With his final impact esque aura, this would be very tough to avoid, as Nai is still a little bit faster than her. If this connect, he would pursue, slashing at her face wildly with his laser sword.

Gozu stands up after his slide attack hit. He watches as his Julia fires a Burning Attack and seems to do something else but Gozu can't tell what. He is about to chase Roa when he sees Nai Mirror Image around her. Looks like he has this I better not interfere. Gozu will fly up closer to them keeping good distance away and waits for his opening.

14. Roa's eyes flare in annoyance as she feels her energy disappear. She sees the Burning attack coming at her from the corner of her eye, as well as Nai's first appearance. She turns to face Julia, mouth open as she lets out a mental scream that would probably surprise the other fighters. As she screams she releases a pulse of ki from her body, pushing back the Burning Attack and any Nai images in the way, giving her some breathing space. She paused for a breath, during which the first image attacked her, doing nothing. Then she feels the slice from her side, and quickly turns her head to fire eye lasers at Nai, hopefully scaring him away for at least a second. She hovered there, recovering after such a drain.

"Screw it...this is taking way too long.." Couric muttered, getting to his feet and glaring at the door. He drew his right foot up, sole of his boot facing the entrance and kicked as hard as he could to break through it and knock it wide open.
/If I just keep waiting around, it'll eventually be all over!/ He brought his leg forward, expecting to actually hit the damn door. He still had his ki suppressed to a lower level.

The door opened automatically as Couric's leg approached it. Behind it was a large mechanical arm, which grabbed said leg and tossed Couric deeper into the hallway. Once he lands, lead, two foot long spikes will fall from the roof above him, while a powerful electric current courses through the ground.

Couric blinked as he felt something grab a hold of his leg and drag him over and throw him deeper into the base himself. Realizing that he'd probably hit the ground back first and feel a decent bit of pain, the teen caught himself in mid-air, floating mere inches above the ground...Only to hear the sound of something opening and see gigantic spikes falling towards him.
"SHIT!" He shouted, propelling himself out of the way as quickly as he could while still in the same position he had been thrown in, moving to avoid the spikey death to the face, not yet knowing about the electrified floor.

As the last spike fell, a series of small slots would open along the walls ahead of Couric, leading all the way to the open living area. Short laser bursts would fire out of these slots with varying intervals between each shot. If Couric waited long enough, he might notice a pattern he could use to get through this unscathed.

"Phew..." Couric muttered, positioning himself in a standing position after barely evading the spiky death of spikiness. Hepaused as he heard more sounds of things opening, a brow raising as he turned his attention ahead of him...and just barely managed to avoid a laser blast to the face.
/Whoever designed this place...is a psychotic bastard!/ He tried to evade another, the shoulder of his paying the price as it was hit, just barely scratching his arm. /Dammit! It's way too random...!/
He tried to avoid more laser shots, keeping his eyes on the walls in hopes of finding some way to make dodging them easier.

Couric would hear something else opening behind him, as a large laser cannon, easily longer than he was tall, rose up out of the ground facing him. Energy gathered at its muzzle and, unless Couric starts running, the cannon would fire at him. All the while the other lasers kept firing.

|
|
Post by unholylssj on May 30, 2009 21:25:04 GMT -5
Couric turned his head slightly to look behind him, eyes widening as he saw the massive laser cannon.
/Oh...for the love of.../ He shot forward at top speed, ignoring the laser blasts being shot at him as he tried to get to the corner as fast as he could. He could only hope that he could get around the corner before the cannon fired off its laser and turned him into Saiyan toast.

The laser cannon didn't fire, instead going back into it's private cave. The lasers would instead be joined by more spikes, as well as a few small bombs, all falling from the tunnel's ceiling.

"This is just ridiculous..." Couric muttered, shifting to the side just in time to evade several spikes, continuing forward at top speed towards the corner.
/I really don't have time for this! I have to get to the others to help them!/ He grimaced, a laser tearing into his shoulder a little bit as he moved to evade more laser and bombs and spikes.

Post by Dungeon Master on May 30, 2009 21:35:27 GMT -5
Another loud CRASH would echo throughout the cavern. If Couric looked behind him, he'd see a very large ball rolling towards him, and slowly catching up.

Post by unholylssj on May 30, 2009 21:39:12 GMT -5
"NOT AGAIN!" He shouted as he looked behind him, eyes wide as dinner plates.
/This is just like on that damn island when I was training with Roshi!/ Couric grimaced as the memory returned to his mind, evading another wave of lasers and spikes, having finally begun to figure out the pattern behind them. He hoped that he'd arrive at wherever the others were fighting, sensing their energies in the distance, but he knew with his luck that that'd probably not be the most likely of scenarios.

Couric's turn is coming up, but he has a choice. Left, or right? The left path seems to go uphill, so the boulder won't be able to chase him, and has fewer lasers. The right path, on the other hand, goes down hill, and has almost twice as many lasers, spikes, and bombs as the other. Which will he choose?

Post by unholylssj on May 30, 2009 21:45:43 GMT -5
/Let's see...the path that looks like it won't kill me as brutally or the path that does....LET'S GO!/ He screamed mentally, taking off down the path that leads lower, keeping his senses focused on the largest ki in the area.
/I don't have time for these games!/

Post by Dungeon Master on May 30, 2009 21:53:51 GMT -5
Couric would hear a loud, hollow BANG as the boulder impacted with the wall, before hearing that ominous roar as it picked up speed again. The lasers are firing almost constantly now, and the spikes and bombs have yet to slow. All the while the path would be curving to the right slightly, and eventually start rising again.
