Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

Awakening of a Machine God

Mutchy sent a lash down Dr. Puri's way. Despite the suddenness, the artificial woman leaned to the side and avoided it. Android 21 rolled horizontally to avoid the swing of the second whip. Had Mutchy stopped there, she'd have avoided damage, but the cruel Machine Mutant pressed on a rampant lashing flurry with both of his whip arms, forcing Artificial Human No. 21 into an evasive dance that taxed her damaged body.

"Coward, I'm your enemy!" Super No. 16 bawled out, charging at Mutchy with his arms wide open, but receiving only a lash to the cheek in return. Mother and son both got caught by outward swings of the whips. The unique bio-engineered weapon of Mutchy was tough to impossible to read. Its flexibility, its ever-changing length... Not even the Data Input algorithms that Dr. Puri and Super 16 had drawn could keep up with these seemingly random variables.

"You can act all cool and strong, but your body's taken massive damage from that fight against Leon! I'll finish you off right now!" Mutchy hissed, sending a whip imbued with a glaring glow of salad green. His long mouth twisted in a sadistic glee when the whip wrapped around Dr. Puri's forearm. Mutchy's smirk faded and turned to a focused look when he felt his draining whips apply a stranglehold on Artificial Human No. 21. Something was wrong...

"Why the long face? You have me at a disadvantage here, don't you? Your energy-draining whip's all wrapped up around my arm. What am I to do?" Dr. Puri teased her opponent with a warm smile and a light blush on her cheeks. Even Super No. 16 seemed baffled because his mother was utterly unaffected by Mutchy's energy-draining whip.

"What's going on? My whip entangled you and I feel massive power surging from your body to mine so it's working, the energy drain is working... Why? Why aren't you feeling it?" Mutchy yelled out with a shrill voice, demanding an answer from Android No. 21. With her free hand, Dr. Puri ran her hand across her curly hair before fixing her glasses.

"The answer is quite simple. Try as much as you might, you couldn't even begin to scratch the limitless power that I have stored inside my body. One could even call it... Ultimate," Artificial Human No. 21 made a sly smile before igniting an energy blade around her hand that slashed up the whip, restraining her to ribbons. Mutchy staggered back in disbelief, reeling the whip back while his arm reassembled itself.

"Unbelievable, you've fed him father's power?" Super No. 16 muttered, aghast.

"It's about time that deadbeat did anything useful for the family. I'd seriously consider dying before letting him take control over my body, but if I can feed some of him to this creep, I won't hesitate for a second," Dr. Puri crossed her arms and flicked her right combing through her long hair. "Now, if you'll allow me..."

With her arms crossed, Dr. Puri vanished without a trace, moving in a high-speed rush directly in front of Mutchy and delivering a careless kick to his abdomen upon reappearance. Mutchy took off like a rag ball. "This is my Maximum Output!" the artificial woman proclaimed before erupting with a red and black aura as she charged after her airborne opponent in pursuit. With her arms freed and Ki blades ignited in each hand, Artificial Human No. 21 delivered several slashes with her hands and mixed some acrobatic kicks before leaning down and stretching her arms to the sides.

Mutchy recovered mid-rush, attempting to slam his whips together and tie Dr. Puri down, but, in a blink, she sliced his whip arms up like a sausage. Armless, Mutchy gasped and muttered in terror as Android No. 21's blades increased in length several times and she lunged toward him in a wild, spinning, slashing frenzy. Cut up into rubbery ribbons, Mutchy's remains began cluttering the battlefield as the strips of his body hung loosely over various platforms and railings and Dr. Puri finished her slicing rush with her Ki blades crossed up in front of her.

"See? I didn't need to risk losing control for leftover scrap like this. Now, let's find One-Nine," Artificial Human No. 21 fixed her glasses.

"That might not be very easy. This place is as big as a star, filled with countless corridors and rooms. Not to mention, just like with the Capsule Corps Star, they're ever-shifting, responding to the need of the star's master. It might take us forever to find a room that doesn't want to be found," Super 16 observed while looking up and around the main chamber they were in.
