Seeing the lasers firing near constantly, Couric eventually found a position to fly in that would allow him to avoid any chance of them hitting the,. Of course, it forced him to fly in a rather hilarious looking pose...and he had pretty much pushed the rock to the back of his mind for now, just continuing as fast as he could down the hallway while following its curving.
/I hate this place.../

As the path begins to incline up again, buzzsaw blades would begin appearing out of the walls, joining the myriad other weapons assaulting the saiyan. By this point Couric would likely realize that the ki signals he'd been keeping tabs on, were in the other direction.

"This..."
Just barely dodging a buzzsaw to the face, Couric pressed onwards, beginning to consider vaporizing a wall or something.
"IS..."
Another dodge of a spike, picking up speed to avoid an explosion, the usual.
"UNBELIEVABLE!" He roared, obviously beginning to get very annoyed.
/I can't turn around because the damn boulder's there!/

Since Roa attacked while Nai's aura was flaring, he decided to take the pain of the eye lasers and slash wildly at Roa a few more times, aiming mainly for the face. However after those few slashes he would fly down full speed over to Gozu, his aura completely dying as he was half way between Roa and Gozu. He lands, panting wildly. He wasn't expecting his assault to use up this much energy. He turns around to face Roa, but doesn't do anything.
His stamina is wearing very thin right now, clearly... And due to his drop in stamina, the pain of Roa's eye lasers begin to cause a wilder burning sensation in his body.

The path would contain only these devices for the next several hundred feet. By this point the incline was enough that the boulder had fallen behind, but in its place a series of walls appear, one every fifty feet or so. Eventually the path would begin to decline again, and, not long after that, Couric would see something that would REALLY tick him off. A nice little wall of flames was blocking his way forward. But that's the only way to go.

Couric grimaced as he floated in front of the flaming wall...he had been hoping to not get too badly injured on the way to the others, but it seemed that if he wanted to save as much of his stamina as he could, he'd have to fly through the fire. Firing off a rather large ki blast to blow a hole through the flames temporarily, at least he hoped, he'd fly through. If it didn't, he'd just try to think of something else that'd work.

Gozu's eyes widen as Nai just takes the eye lasers. When he sees Nai flying back Gozu rushes in with his right fist drawn back at his side. He sees Nai panting as he closes the gap. When he gets in range Gozu thrusts his right forward but Gozu with his fist outstretched will fade as Gozu after images behind Roa.
Gozu will then attempt to grab on to Roa pinning her arms to her side. He will his arch back and squeeze her with all his strength attempting to break her back or ribs. After he feels the bones break or knows they won't he will fly at the ground as fast as he can and at the last minute he will let her go sending her flying into the ground while he pulls up.
If Gozu's grab doesn't hit he will dash back immediatly putting some distance between Roa and himself.

The ki blast formed hole in the flames, but it sealed up almost as soon as it was formed. However, when Couric flew through, he'd find that the only thing on fire was his hair. Nothing else was more than slightly singed. The fire wasn't fake, he was just too fast for it to burn him. And besides, the kid needs at least one break.

Managing to put out the fire before his head was set aflame, Couric grimaced and continued onwards, hoping that he may just be getting close to the fight that was occurring. He had noticed that someone's energy was beginning to drop rapidly...and it worried him a bit.
/It shouldn't be that much longer, should it...?/

Couric was, at this point, heading back in the general direction of the ki signals. However, he likely wouldn't notice this over the new trap he's set off. The lasers, bombs, and spikes all stop, replaced instead by eight large buzzsaws, extending out of the walls, floor, ceiling, and corners of the tunnel, which would then speed up to chase Couric.

Couric glanced behind him, greeted by a sound he didn't quite recognize...until he saw the saw blades chasing after him. His eyes widened and picked up the pace to top speed as he followed the direction of the path. He drew a single hand back and took aim at the blades, firing off a single burst of energy to see if he couldn't destroy one of the damn things.

Couric's blast would indeed damage one of the blades, knocking a good chunk out of the blade. That didn't stop it, however, as it just kept on chasing him. With Couric distracted by the blades, he might not notice the side path leading left until it was too late. Shortly after that, he'd see another path right, leading back to the exit. If he'd only gone left in the first place, he'd be at the fighting by now.

Couric looked up just in time to notice the path to the left, turning as quickly as he could in hopes of getting to it before the buzz saws ripped right through him, continuing along the tunnel's path as quickly as he could.

The new tunnel was uneventful, only the occasional laser blast. Once Couric reached the end of the tunnel, however, he'd see a series of powerful lasers forming a mesh before him. Should he try touching them he'd feel a burning sensation as the laser cut through. The only way he could go from here was through another tunnel to the right. Unless, of course, he found a way to destroy the lasers.

Couric stopped himself in front of the laser wall, a bit of annoyance showing in his expression as he floated there. He pondered if this was the final obstacle between him and arriving to help the others. Drawing a hand up, he took aim at the walls the lasers were firing from, firing off several bursts of energy with each hand, prepared to suddenly fly back or forward in case this redirected them. He could only hope that they managed to destroy whatever was firing off the energy...

Couric's attacks did indeed destroy the lasers, but their destruction caused two large metal plates to slam together, blocking the door again. A light turned on down the other path, as if to draw attention to it.

/Metal, huh...? That means I'm close enough if the security's getting high./ He remained by the door, floating above the ground.
/Well if that's the case, I might as well wait here for now until I can think of a way to bust through and get in to help the others./ He thought, closing his eyes to get a proper lock on the others' kis.

Two large laser turrets appear out of the ceiling. They would start shooting Couric, mostly on his left side, trying to encourage him to move right. For further emphasis, a neon sign would fall into place over the the other tunnel entrance, blue with red writing saying, "This way, stupid."

/I have the feeling that this is just trying its best to piss me off.../ Couric thought, just barely evading a shot by the laser to the side as he flew towards the tunnel entrance, hoping that i actually led somewhere. But knowing his luck, it'd probably just loop back here...

Oddly enough, after only a short distance, the tunnel opened up a bit to reveal a large, well lit room. There was a couch, and even a TV, all in shades of white. A fridge was in the corner, stocked with water and soda. A sign on the far wall said, "Last Rest Point."

A sweatdrop rolled down the back of the teen's head as he floated into the room, a bit surprised that there was some random resting point in the middle of a secret base. So he landed on the floor and decided to sit for a second, catching his breath to make up for any energy he may have used up to that point.
/Here's hoping I get there soon.../

6.
Julia just kept on going with her jump arc, so the Ki Cannon and her deflected Burning Attack just went right through... where she used to be. Instead, she's landing behind the now stupidly exhausted Roa, hurling a few weak blasts of energy, which she leaps behind in pursuit of Roa.
Julia is way faster than Gozu right now, so he'll probably end up having to grab her from the front... and that will be all the sweeter for Julia's attacks.
Once she gets close enough, she'll try to ram her elbow right in to Roa's back, then send a knee strike to her ass, stab her in the back with one of her finger blades, then rip it out horizontally to take as much flesh away as possible, while following through with a roundhouse to smash Roa away (even if it means smashing her away with Gozu clung on to her). Her physical attacks wouldn't normally do that much damage, other than the Deathly Touch, but with Roa having strained herself so much it's likely Julia's hits will start to be significant.
Julia is no longer herself at all, now. "Primary Target - Highest Power Level."

15. As Roa's primary target was now Nai, she completely ignored the other two fighters's exsistance, instead using the last of her energy reserves for her next attack. She would after image away from both Julia and Gozu, reappearing behind Nai. Her hands where over her head, palms overlapped. Large amounts of energy were gathering into them, forming a yellow ball of ki. She swung the hands down onto Nai's head, releasing the energy upon impact. The force would send her rocketing into the ceiling herself, but as least it was likely to kill Nai. She would crash into the ceiling, before falling to the ground, drained.

Sensing Roa behind him gathering ki, Nai's options run low. He turns around and thrusts his arm at Roa just as she's charging, sending the invisible force of ki at near point blank which will knock her off balance, completely throwing off the aim for her attack. While she's stumbling back, Julia should be able to launch in with her assault before Roa gets to have a second crack at Nai.

7.
Julia would yell, seemingly completely out of character... "DAMNIT STAY STILL AND DIE!" And chase after Roa in her new position, and then leap up as she is blasted by the Masenko. Julia aims to make a hammer kick on Roa's head to force her to suddenly crash down in to the ground. This will be much more powerful because of how Roa's already going upwards, making the collision velocity between Julia's foot and Roa's head become something CRAZY (especially if you take in to account all the extra mad velocity from Nai's Ki Cannon).
Julia would then drop down, and try to land knee-first right in to Roa's neck. This could very easily break her neck, and kill her. If not, Julia will stab her in the eyes with both the blades of her fingers. JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL? The programming is in total control.

Gozu sighs angrily as he grabs an after image. He dashes down at Nai as Roa fires a Masenko at Nai. Gozu's eyes widen but Nai knocks her off balance somehow. Gozu sees Julia dive down at the weakened Roa and go for her attacks. Gozu dives down too but probably too late to do anything. If Roa dodges Julia's attack Gozu will shift his dive and go for a kick to the skull with enough force to probably kill her in her weakened state.

16. Roa feels her body get pushed back from the Shockwave, causing her to miss fire. She does at least send one pair of eye lasers at Nai before Julia's attack crushes her. She's dead after the first blow, so she doesn't feel anything afterwards. Her lasts thoughts are an appology to Sakar for not succeeding.

Post by Nai on May 31, 2009 0:56:24 GMT -5
The eye lasers hit Nai once again, amplifying the burning sensation even more than before. His life slows down for a few seconds, and his view becomes black. When he falls, the last conscious decision he makes is suppressing his ki level to unsensable amounts. This might give off the impression he died... But faking dead is probably the best thing he can do right now to avoid getting watched more by Sakar.

Julia pushes herself up from Roa, allowing the blades to fade from her fingers... she then turns to Gozu... "Consider yourself both fortunate." She doesn't explain it any further than that... and her voice lacks all emotion. She's creepy.

After a few minutes, Shiro had finished with the androids. Now he was simply sitting on the ground, looking up the pit at the laser guarding the exit to the hole. Come on, you don't expect me to stay here as a pet, do you?
