Stalker's vengeance

[FATE]

Stalker snickers to himself a bit as he sheaths his weapons. Another city's inhabitants lie slaughtered in a huge, gory pile before him. He throws a last body on the pile and tilts his head slightly as he senses several approaching powers. Oh, just in time for guests. How very nice. And what's even better, a few of them feel like the ones who defeated his brother. Absolutely WONDERFUL.

Stalkers laughs aloud and sets about making preparations for his guests, cleaning weapons and checking over several small, odd-looking devices whose function is impossible to guess...

As the powers approach, Stalker stands at the ready. Laughing madly, he fades from sight, his powerlevel abruptly vanishing as well. He lies in wait along the path the other powerlevels are traveling, waiting...

[tc2425]

The four Z fighters located Stalker and landed right in front of them.
Aki took the lead.
"I guess you didn't learn from the loss of your brother." She looked over the the other three.
"Mind if I take the first try?" She then looked back to Stalker.
"I've never used this form in battle, but I'd love to test it on you!!!!"
She clenched her fists and gathered ki. A golden aura expolded as she transformed.

[glow=red,2,300]You'll make a great test run for my SSJ3 abilities!!![/glow]

[robz]

Toonz stood there and watched with the others as Aki began to test her powers. "I cant wait to see Aki in action, its been so long" Toonz ssaid with a big grin on his face

[Raikou]

"yeah i aint seen her in a fight for ages, and ive never seen her in super sayain 2 or higher, so thisll be good"

[FATE]

Stalker laughs again as he fades into view, grinning madly.

"I'm surprised you found me so easily. How very...interesting." His grin widens disturbingly as Aki powers up. "What wonderful energy. I can see how my brother lost to you. And I think you'll find..that my family has a bit of a learning disorder that way." He cackles, surveying the other three.

"All by yourself... Tut... Don't think it will be quite so easy to take me as it was to stop my brother!" A fire lights in the back of Stalker's eyes, which suddenly go pitch black. A shadow slowly creeps over the area, as though a cloud has crept over the sky, yet the sky is clear... And still, somehow it seems that the color has been drained from the area. The shadow creeps over Stalker's body in a mist, which slowly hardens into an armor like coating. His eyes shine out obsidian from the shell, everything but those black eyes invisible now. He draws a weapon and stands at the ready, beginning to laugh again.

"Go ahead then...test your power..."

[Kazuma]

ight"Well at least you saw her in action before." Kazuma looked at the two fighters, hoping he could see her turn super saiyan 4. as the area got darker, he got nerviouse. "I cant wait to see super saiyan 4." he got more nerviouse, and a little scared. 'wait. this might be a way he gets his opponents weak.' hethoguht to himself.

[Raikou]

"youve never seen her fight?"

[Kazuma]

"No... the closest i ever got to seeing her fight was after she and toonz defeated Hunter." the sky darkened more. hey! look at Stalker! he has transformed! The speed of aki was almost overwelming.

[tc2425]

Aki drww her Z-Sword upon seeing Stalker raise his weapon.
[glow=red,2,300]"So a duel huh? No thanks"[/glow], Aki put away her Z-Sword. [glow=red,2,300]" I don't have time for games....."[/glow]As she said that she sped up Stalker throwing five silver moons at Stalker. She was moving so fast at him that she looked as if she were several blurred versions of herself.
As she approach she warped behind him and throw a kick hoping to hit him into the incoming silver moons.

[FATE]

Stalker watches closely as Aki suddenly vanishes and seems to reappear in several places at once. He grins wildly, almost seeming excited by the fight's start. He watches the attacks soaring towards him almost eagerly, bracing, and then suddenly spinning around as Aki's energy is felt behind him. He reaches out towards her, but the kick strikes him in the chest.

However, for just a split second, he places an unseen hand on Aki's leg just for an instant, a gesture that most including Aki herself won't even notice with his body cloaked as it is. "Limiter," he hisses, and then goes flying back into the blasts, suddenly hidden from view in the resulting explosion. All is silent for a moment, then laughter blankets the area as Stalker steps out of the smoke, wisps of the stuff rising from his invisible body, his eyes burning fiercely in the air.

"You've just lost, girl, and you don't even know it yet." He begins laughing like a maniac, watching Aki, apparently waiting for something. "I would say...another five minutes at most." He grins.

[tc2425]

"Aki examined her body. No scratches or injuries.
[glow=red,2,300]"Your insane........or just brilliant. I'll call your bluff. So in five minutes I expire? Well no use holding back.[/glow]Aki once again clenched her fists and gathered Ki. The look on her face was intense. If Stalker had started somekind of countdown on her life, then She needed to injure this guy as much as she could. She looked over at Toonz, Kazuma and Raikou. "For you guys......."
She unleashed the stored Ki and blasted into SSJ4

[glow=red,2,300]"No speeches, just fight!!"[/glow]
Spun around and nailed Stalker with the force of a nuclear reaction right in his mouth and then spun down and lodged her fist as hard as she could in his stomcah. Thn she jumped up and spun kick him to the face with her foot and as she spiral back down, whipped him in the face with her tail.

[FATE]

Stalker seems not to mind the abuse a bit, though if his body were visible it was quite obviously injuring him. He's sent sailing back, digging a long trench in the ground with his body after her assault. And yet still, he pushes himself up, as if unharmed, even though drops of blood are visible on the ground as they drop from his chin, the trail leading up to his mouth. He continues to watch as he stands up, that laugh welling up and bursting forth.

"One hundred seven...One hundred six..." he counts almost mockingly. A moment later even his eyes vanish from view as he phases, appearing beside Aki. He spins around and lances a hand out, in several rapid motions making quick strikes at pressure points in her neck and side before leaping back and starting to charge a large pitch-black blast of ki.

"Seventy five.... seventy four..." he mutters, grinning as the blast builds in size. It flashes suddenly as he raises it over his head.

"Negate Nova!" he yells, throwing it towards Aki, who is hopefully stunned by his earlier attack.

[tc2425]

Each strike hit Aki on target. Though on a regular fighter they could have been death blows, to a SSJ4 they were nothing more than normal strikes, nonetheless they distracted her enough to get hit by the Negative Nova blast.
The hit sends her back a few feet.
[glow=red,2,300]"Is that it? Huh huh, Hunter almost killed me and you play games? Maybe you are insane.!"[/glow]Without a moment's notice Aki flew back at Stalker digging her elbow into his chest. Then she threw several fast punches at all parts of his body. The disurbing thing was that it felt as if she hit nothing. She felt herself hit him but at the same time she didn't.
She jumped back several feet. She began charging her Eclipse Blast Cannon. The Sky darkened as the attack built, but its color was not bright white, rather a bright red.
[glow=red,2,300]"x100 Eclipse Blast Cannon!!!!!!" [/glow]A large red Ki blast went flying at Stalker.

[FATE]

"Three...two...one." Stalkers laughs madly as Aki begins another assault...but now the blows are almost nothing. He allows himself to be thrown back by the attacks, though now keeping on his feet. He grins as Aki begins charging her attack...but even now, as she was charging, she would have been able to feel her energy slipping away. To anyone else able to sense her powerlevel, Aki's strength would slowly drop to a half of its normal level, leaving her at a mere 700 million even as a Super Saiyan Four.

Stalker laughs maniacally and begins powering up...the darkness begins to increase in strength, and his body slowly fades into view, a core of brilliant blue energy appearing in the black shell at his chest, sparking dangerously. His eyes flash and glow a brilliant shade of silver as he powers into his Ultima Stealth form, his body fading back out of sight as he completes the transformation. He cackles again, looking at Aki and grinning.

"I call that my Limiter technique...how does it feel? You won't be able to acheive more than half of your maximum power for another two hours or so." He grins sadistically. "Assuming I let you live that long." Stalker lunges forward at the blast that's now speeding towards him and slams a palm against it, slowly pushing it back towards Aki as he walks towards her, laughing wildly.

[tc2425]

Aki held on to the attack.
[glow=red,2,300]"Half my PL???/ You, you......monster. I....."[/glow]
At her current PL, the x100 Eclipse blast cannon was too much to handle. She let go of it as it disintegrated in Stalker's hand.
She powered back down to normal.
"Okay you win, there's no way I can beat you at this level." She closes her eyes in hopes of sensing someone as strong as she to fight Stalker. She grinned.
"Well, I did my best, but obviously now I can't stand a chance. But I'm not the one who you we're meant to fight." SHe looked over at Kazuma who was in awe at the battle so far.
"Kazuma the Shell Bullet, is the one you want, I was here just to warm you up! Hey Kaz, feeling up to a challenge." She walked over to Kazuma and whispered in his ear. "This guy is STRONG. Keep your limbs away from him or he'll use the Limiter attack on you to." She gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Good Luck, and don't be afraid. Me, Toonz and Raikou are here, and you won't die on my watch!"

[FATE]

Stalker shakes his head, shrugging, but still laughing.

"How sad, the strongest gives up before I've even had to use my full power... I doubt your friend here will fare any better, unless he's acheived the same level you have!" He grins broadly, reaching his senses out into space, searching...oh yes, none of them have much time. Even if it ends soon, there's little time left before HE arrives... And by the feel of things, he's undergone some improvements.

[tc2425]

Aki swallows the lump in her Throat.
"Strongest, me? You're wrong. We, all four of us is what makes me strong. This planet, my family, everything good, thats what makes me strong. But a transformation? Sorry Stalker, Saiyan strength comes from Pride and Responsibility. Kazuma, hold on a sec. I want another shot at this guy! Show him REAL power!!!!"Aki powered back up to SSJ4

[glow=red,2,300]"I may not be at full power, but no one insults my pride!!!!!"[/glow]Aki dashed back at Stalker and unleashed her Lunatic Fury, a devastating combo of punches, kicks and tail swipes.

[Kazuma]

just as Kazuma almost took a step foreward, he heard of what Aki said. "Ohh man! well, you show him Aki." Kazuma stepped back and was amazed by Aki's decision. he crossed his arms and watched intently.

[FATE]

Stalker gives his widest and most disturbing grin yet as Aki turns and launches herself back at him.

"THIS is more like it!" he says, laughing a bit at Aki's speech. "I couldn't care less where your strength comes from. All that matters to me is watching it drain away after I destroy you!" He straight towards Aki as she rushes him. Now, at over double her strength, Stalker is able to deflect the majority of her blows, though with their speed several manage to make it through. He's forced back a bit by the strength put into them.

"Impressive, even at half strength! But we'll have to see how long you can keep up a pace like that." He launches his own flurry of blows at Aki as hers ends, ending by spinning around, drawing two short swords and making a blinding flurry of slashes at Aki's chest and stomach, flipping back, landing, reversing the direction of the flip and attempting to stab the blades down into Aki's shoulders and he springs back towards her again.

[tc2425]

The blades dug deep and injured Aki the most from all his other attacks. At half her energy thes wounds were very painfull and would make any punch a difficult task. But Aki braved on.
At the last second Aki spun around and pulled her Z-Sword out and deflect Stalker's last hit. The force of the hit sent her flying back into a building. As the dust settled, nothing emerged. Aki pl could not be sensed any longer. As the Z-fighters stood in shock at Aki's apprarent defeat she re appeared behind stalker. She had been suppressing her ki. She attempted to bury the Z-Sword deep in his abdomen. It went through as if he was transparent. She flipped back to her feet and stood in shock.
[glow=red,2,300]"What....what are you???"[/glow]

[FATE]

Stalker waits as Aki flies back. He grins slightly as her powerlevel apparently disappears, only to feel it once more behind him as she makes her attack with the sword. Stalker begins to cackle psychotically, and a black mist leaks out from the "wound" and begins to blanket the area. His Stealth Haze.

"What am I?" Stalker's voice seems to distort and bounce everywhere in the darkness as the fighters begin to feel the mist's hallucinagenic effects. "I am the creature hiding in the back of everyone's mind, that one thing everyone fears but never wants to admit exists.. I feed off your fear. Your screams are the things I desire above all else. And when this is over, I will bleed you until there is nothing left but a husk!" By the time the speech finishes all the fighters nearby have started to hallucinate. Some may feel that there is something grabbing them and wrestling them to the ground, yet nothing is there. Others will hear wild whispers of hatred underneath Stalker's words that continue as deafening screams when he grows silent. And all will feel an intense feeling of pressure that may make them think the mist is choking them.

"This is only the beginning! When my brother arrives, THEN you'll see the true horror you have to face!" Stalker moves quickly to Aki, quite at home in the blinding mist, and attempts to kick her into the other fighters to add to the chaos. None are actually being harmed as of yet, but if any of them had weak minds and wills they could potentially be driven mad.

[tc2425]

The kick sent Aki flying back and knocking her onto the ground at the feet of the other Fighters. She was outcold from the earlier wounds and her body slowly reverted back to normal.
Aki layed there unconcious as the Z-Fighters struggled with their hallucinations.

(I'm gone for the night, so go ahead and godmode anything that happens to me! Damn I hate work!)

[FATE]

(I have work in just over an hour myself, and I'll need to leave to get ready in half that, so I feel the pain. )

[FATE]

Stalker laughs as the fighters continue to hallucinate within the mist, but he's growing bored. At the same time, he doesn't want to simply kill this bunch. They're the most powerful warriors he's found in a long time, and he's sure his brother will want to deal with two of them specifically himself. But, he doesn't want to take off without leaving some sort of mark.

"You," he says, smirking and striding to the unconcious Aki. "You are the guardian of Earth as well, if I remember what my brother said correctly. Not only that, but the one who finished him off in that last fight...I think he'll be quite pleased to see you when he arrives. And better still, I'd say you'll make a comfortable assurance that your friends will seek me out again." Picking the unconcious Saiyan up by the head, Stalker takes a small device and holds it in front of her for a moment. It beeps, adjusting to approximately three thousand times the strength it senses from her before it lashes out with mechanical tentacles and laser bonds, binding the Saiyan tightly. Stalker then cackles again and blasts into the air with Aki captive, leaving the others to struggle within the mist, which won't wear off for another hour at the least. Where he's headed is anyone's guess...

[robz]

Toonz takes out his sword of war and swings it about franticly as he tries to swing at the shadowy creature that threatens him. Every swing is only dodged by the shadow and he is never close enough to hit itt. "Grrrr. Ill get you myself. HAAAAAAAA" Toonz put away his sword and went all out towards the shawdow which only continued dodging, leaving a smoky trail wherever he moves. Toonz began to go frustrated and went super saiyan 2. "I'm faster this time. Ill get you for sure" Toonz sped at the shadow once more this time firing ki blasts which just went through the shadow and then resealed the hole made. Toonz began to loose all hope and just stood there. He soon began to feel as if he was being wrestled to the ground, "No no no get of you cant take me nooo not like my father nooooooooooooo0" Toonz began to mentaly break down, this was just as real as the nightmares he used to have when his father first died. Toonz began to see his fathers face. "This cantt be...no i won't be taken by another, this cant b real, it just cant be" Toonz was going crazy and powering up like crazy and a surge of power jus went through his whoooole body and his hair grew larger and there was a large explosion. Toonz had attained super saiyn 3 and the holusinatons had stopped. As the smoke cleared Toonz stood there with a deep cold stare strainght as stalker.

[Gohan]

Gohan suddenly appears in front of Toonz in a flash of light, shaking his head.

"I've been watching the whole thing. I have to congratulate you on Super Saiyan Three, and I can tell what you're thinking. But don't follow him. None of us have seen what he's truly capable of yet. Even with Super Saiyan Three I don't think you're a match for him yourself. Even I wouldn't attack him head on just yet. But, I do have an idea." He grins slightly. "Give me half a day. I have someone else I have to find and talk to. Then you and Kazuma come meet me at the Lookout. There may just be a way to get through this." He studies Toonz carefully, making sure he'll calm down enough to listen and not take off after Stalker.

[robz]

Toonz stood there for ages staring coldly into the eyes of Stalker, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. Then he relaxed and took a deep breath. "Ur right Gohan. Not even Aki was able 2 beat him in super saiyan 4 what am i even thinking." Toonz said and began to smile. "So what ia it then? What do you have in mind that'll beat Stalker" Toonz gets ready to follow Gohan with Kazuma

[Gohan]

Gohan looks thoughtful for a moment.

"Well, I think it'll be faster to show you than to try and explain it. First...we have to find my father. And that's probably going to be the hard part, the way he moves around. That part Trunks and I will take care of. No offense, but I think we'll be able to move faster on our own. That, and there's no telling whether Stalker might change his mind and come after someone again, and if we're separated at least he can't get all of us. So don't go straight to the Lookout, I'll send up some sort of signal when we're ready. Hopefully one that won't attract unwanted attention." He grins wryly. "Sound like a plan?"

[hunter]

Hunter finally lands on earth...after an unexpected delay.....after his ship crashes into the earth he steps out...and takes a deep breath......"ahhh.....soo this is earth....stalker is here somewhere....i can feel his presence....ha ha ha ha ha ha...i'm coming brother....ha ha ha ha ha...and togeather we will kill all...ha ha ha ha ha" with his laugh he flys towards his brother.

[robz]

"So Gohan, what should i do in the meantime" Toonz asked. Then suddenly a huuge tingle went down his spide and he froze. "No...NO...IT cant b hunter not now" Toonz stood in fear
