Finding Hope

Chapter 62: Kid Tsubaki's Unspeakable Power! Gengero Island is Saved!!

3rd person's pov (A/N Mike Shinoda is one of the best artists out there)

"I don't care who you are, little girl. Nobody tells me what I can and can't do. You are a nobody, and you know what I do to nobodies?" Aster sneered, she kept her eyes glued to Tsubaki rather than anyone else. "What?" Tsubaki snapped, causing Aster to glare harshly at her, but she didn't care for Aster's glare. Aster gave her a smirk, before charging at her. Tsubaki acted quickly, dodging Aster and flipped over her as Aster flew forward. She quickly turned around, charging for Tsubaki again which let Tsubaki prepare herself mentally to fight. This time she drew her sword, attacking Tsubaki who nearly was cut by it. She dodged the sword, quickly pulling out the Power Pole out of her back pocket. The two were floating up in the air, which was strange considering Aster wasn't a saiyan, nor was she someone with powers like Videl. "That's a nice weapon, where'd you get it?" Aster smirked, keeping her sword against Tsubaki's power pole. "None of your business." Tsubaki snapped, pushing harder against her sword. Aster gave her a glare, letting out a grunt of frustration as the two kept pushing each other's weapon. "Why are you attacking the village and its people?! What did those people ever do to you?" Tsubaki questioned, snapping at Aster. "Now, that is something I won't tell you so easily." Aster said, wanting to irritate Tsubaki. "Tell me!" Tsubaki used her strength, still having a bit of the power boost left from the gem and pushed harder against Aster's weapon. This caused the sword to crack, before it was snapped in half. Aster's eyes widened a bit from the shock of her sword breaking, while Tsubaki quickly lifted up her power pole. "Power Pole extend!!" Tsubaki swung the pole down, hitting Aster in the chest which sent her flying back down to the ground. A crater formed underneath Aster, which caused her partner in crime to look over at what had just crashed down not too far from them. The young green haired man, who they learned to go by the name of Colson was fairly calm as Aster stood to her feet. He then turned his attention towards Goku and the others, who were all ready to fight him. Piccolo and Tien both were wary of him and rather than fight him, they wanted to go help Tsubaki. Aster grew angry as she clenched the hilt of her broken sword, she looked up at Tsubaki who was floating just a little ways in front of her. Aster gave out a war cry, as she flew towards Tsubaki. She sent several charged energy blasts from the broken sword at Tsubaki, which caught her off guard as she tried to dodge them all. Piccolo acted quickly, ramming into Aster in mid-air before she could reach Tsubaki. Aster became agitated at the two, as she flew back a bit from the impact of Piccolo slamming into her.

"So, Colson.. I want to know something.." Riko started, "What do you want? Because if this is about how you betrayed me, I don't want to hear it." He said, he had this look in his eye which made Kid Trunks and Kid Tsubaki nervous. "I want to know why you took my little sister. What does she have to do with what you did to my uncle?" Riko asked, ignoring Colson's harsh eyes. "Sorry, but I don't answer to traitors." Colson kept his eyes on Riko, not wanting to tell him the real truth. "Look here, Colson or whatever your name is. I would suggest you just gave back the little girl and stop torturing the people here. They did nothing to you." Vegeta snapped, hating that this guy was being cryptic. "Who the hell are you?" Colson asked, not liking Vegeta's tone of voice. He turns his body to fully face Vegeta, who was now standing in front of Riko and the others. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I'm going to put a stop to what you're doing." Vegeta stated, giving Colson a smirk which Colson copied. Before Vegeta said anything else, Colson quickly charged at him. He threw his fist at Vegeta, but Vegeta quickly dodged his punch by ducking down under his arm. Vegeta then kicked Colson in the stomach, making him bring up some spit. He flew backwards a bit, but he kept his ground. "Interesting.. You seem like you know what you're doing.. I like that." Colson smiled wickedly at Vegeta, wiping the edge of his mouth.

An hour later...

The fights between Tsubaki and Aster had gotten out of control, not only did they destroy an entire area but Colson had managed to hold his own and disable Keiko, Keitaro, Rin and Riko. Videl and Hunter had been instructed to treat everyone's wounds, to which Videl protested. She hated being on the sidelines, but Gohan wouldn't let her fight. Kid Trunks, Kid Tsubaki and Goten were helping Gohan, Vegeta and Goku fight Colson while Tsubaki, Future Trunks and Piccolo fought Aster. At this point, Tien and Yamcha, 18 and Krillen were struggling to get back up on their feet after fighting Aster. The only people keeping up with Aster was Future Tsubaki and Future Trunks, while Piccolo was beginning to tire out from the endless fight. As the battle kept dragging on, more of the Z fighters were beginning to tire out. Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha were too injured to continue fighting which only left Future Trunks, Future Tsubaki and Gohan to fight Aster. Goku and Vegeta were managing with the strength they had left to keep fighting Colson, while Kid Trunks, Kid Tsubaki and Goten were all busy recuperating. Krillen, Yamcha and 18 were forced to take the Capsule Corp plane from Piccolo and officially evacuate the entire left side of of the island. A large explosion occured, catching everyone off guard as Videl and Hunter quickly moved Keiko and Rin out of the way. More explosives went off, causing the others to slightly panic. Kid Trunks and Goten were quickly separated from Kid Tsubaki, as an explosive went off in their area.
