-20,000! (62,060/1,035,150)

I can't believe...

The wall of pink Ki surrounded Gray, his fur burning away as he was consumed by the blast.

-20,000! (42,060/1,035,150)

I'm really...

He felt an unimaginable pain, but he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth and scream. His body was exhausted - stuck in place as he was tormented by the attack.

-20,000! (22,060/1,035,150)

Going to die...

The wall of power flooded around him, encompassing his entire body as his Saiyan armor burned away in an instant.

To fucking Raditz...

-20,000! (2,060/1,035,150)

"[Noble's Slash!]" A voice screamed, but Gray had no idea who. His world was a blur, his entire vision consumed by the pink void.

I'm... dead...

For just a second, Gray felt at peace. His body stopped struggling, his eyes closing and wiping away the bright pink light. For just one moment, Gray's thoughts faded away as he accepted his outcome. He was dying, and there was nothing he could do to change the outcome. All of his stress disappeared.

And then, suddenly, the world of pink was replaced by a different color. As if Zeno himself was intent on ripping away Gray's one moment of peace, the pain disappeared. He opened his eyes, a wall of green light blaring in front of him.

Or... not?

In front of Gray was what could only be described as his Ki-blade on steroids. A giant green rapier, spanning nearly 20 feet long and high along with being composed entirely of Ki, slashed downwards. It cut cleanly through the wall of pink Ki, continuing its path until it reached its true target.

Said path was Raditz's right arm.

"Arggh!" Raditz screamed in pain, his hand that was blasting the energy wave being cut clean-through at the elbow. His arm slid away, blood flowing down from the stump as his hand plummeted into the snow below. The Saiyan captain stared in shock, clutching at his elbow.

For a moment, no one moved. Not that Gray knew that - his mind rattled with pain as his HP sat at near zero. Then, one voice shouted out.

"C-Captain!" A concerned voice came from one of the surrounding Ozaru's. Another one followed shortly after.

"Cheater! She cheated!"

",,,Asuna?" Gray asked softly, his eyes half-lidded as shock marred his face. The female ape to his right held the shining Ki rapier in her hand, her eyes squinted shut as her face was twisted in pain.

"Fuck! I did it, it's too late now!" She screamed, turning to Celia, "Destroy that thing! We gotta go!"

Celia held her giant ape hand upward, her fingers stiffening, then closed her hand abruptly. The large ball of light in the sky, acting as an artificial moon, collapsed in on itself into an explosion cloud. Asuna grabbed Gray's arm, dragging the injured Saiyan with her as she launched into the air, their bodies slowly shrinking as the light faded.
