”There is a stigma that men are more powerful than women, but I beg to differ. I’ll show you the power of a Saiyan who is also a woman!”
"To grow up alone is a fate unbecoming of a Saiyan, but it has made me stronger than I dared hope. I can only continue to hope, and with luck I'll always have Era by my side to push me to even greater heights."
Era and Sil were perfectly in sync as usual rocketing forward through the ranks along the perimeter of the mass of bodies in the air. Era would slip through and break the defenses of their target, Sil would provide the finishing touches. One fell. Two. Three. Four. Five. One by one Era led them through the mass of bodies fighting only those she knew they could take down with minimal effort and it was proving most effective.
Meanwhile Korvaiis made a beeline for the ship itself batting away anything in his path. He knew that if the Scout Vessel sent word of their location to Inecros they'd lose their temporary home and base of operation and all of their work thus far would be for nothing. Not only that, but it would put their allies in danger as well and that he could not afford.
But just shy of the ship he was intercepted by the one Era said was the strongest of the bunch. Sure enough when he checked his Scouter the power level was 38,000. That was 6,000 ahead of his own, but he was not overly concerned. If worse came to worse he could call Tragedy and Comedy to his side to help out as Black Comedy.
The fight between the two strongest warriors on the planet began with a bang, literally.
Their punches collided and caused a concussive burst of power which pushed away everyone in their local vicinity. They then began trading blows at a rapid pace. Each blow held bone crunching force which would shred a lesser being clean in half as Korvaiis had done before. The enemy's power level advantage seemed to be giving him the edge in the fight though as Korvaiis was struggling to maintain the same level of speed as his opponent.
Korvaiis began to take the worst of the assault for a while, but before long it became clear to him that Tragedy and Comedy would not be necessary.
Korvaiis had now seen and committed his enemy's attack patterns to memory and began taking full control of the fight. Every punch, deflected. Every kick, evaded. Every Ki blast either deflected to the side or evaded outright. His advantage was gone. Korvaiis had held out long enough to push him to show his techniques and now the fight was as good as his. One of the perks of being a prodigious talent with photographic memory.
Korvaiis took control and whittled his enemy down to size before finishing him off and forcing his way on board the ship. He didn't have time to figure out a path through the halls so he simply flew straight through them one by one breaking his way through every wall and door until he found the control room.
Once inside he found those in control of communications and proceeded to violently incapacitate and torture them until they agreed to do as he commanded. They recalled all previous transmissions of life on the planet as well as a transmission which they were prepared to send but never had the chance to about the fact of the group's occupancy of the world. Once he was certain that Inecros would not know their position or come looking for them here, he killed everyone in the room.
He flew outside and began charging a powerful Ki blast which he then used to destroy the ship in its entirety. Safe from transmissions which could reveal their location, they had only one thing left to do here and that was finish cleaning house.
However, Korvaiis was going to keep one of them alive to send a single transmission about how they had moved on to another planet far away from this location and been ambushed by an aggressive species. Their ship had been destroyed almost upon landing and he would be the last survivor to send the signal that their "current" location was hostile and in need of destruction.
Korvaiis knew exactly which planet and race to target as well.
Era and Sil were having a ball with the lower ranking enemies. With their new powers it was literally a breeze to just fly through and annihilate them one by one. They'd already killed over 20 enemies in less than five minutes which was a new record for them. They'd never have been able to do this with power levels of 250 and 300. Both women were thinking the same thing: This is marvelous.
But it didn't stay that way for long.
Era and Sil were soon intercepted in their path by an upper Elite member of the enemy force which was not good. Era judged his power to be in excess of 17,000, probably 18,000 which was more than both their powers put together.
This was not going to be nearly as marvelous as their fights thus far, but they were not about to just back down.
But from the get go it was clear they were in for the worst fight they'd ever experienced up until this point. Both of them charged their enemy but were batted away before being able to even get close enough to land a punch. His size was much greater than theirs at nearly 7', and his arms and legs were much longer than theirs. Both women composed themselves and regrouped to try again. They charged at different angles, but again were both batted away rather easily.
The two women joined up again, and Era found a few drops of blood falling to her chest. She wiped her nose and found a red smear across the back of her hand. Not exactly what she'd been hoping for after just two blows. Even if his power was more than twice her own, blood this early in the fight did not bode well. Sil was in the same position with a small streak of blood dripping from the left corner of her mouth.
Their enemy did not stop their though. He charged the two women faster than they could even react to him and slammed his fists into both of their stomachs which effortlessly knocked the wind from their lungs. They floated down grasping their stomachs and trying to regain their breath, but were then slammed in the upper back by his elbows which sent them both crashing to the ground below causing large plumes of dirt and small craters upon impact.
Era was the first victim of a more vicious assault. She was pulled free from the crater by her hair and slammed in the stomach with another punch causing her to cough up a rather sizable amount of blood. She was then thrown into the ground and then picked back up by her hair once again and tossed into the sky. She was then subject to the punching bag treatment where he landed over five dozen blows against her before kicking her downward into the same crater he pulled her out of. The crater was now three times deeper than it was before, and Era was unconscious and not getting up.
Sil had made it to her feet but was no less the subject of the same kind of treatment Era had received. She too was beaten and battered around like a rag doll before thrown down into the crater she was pulled from. She wasn't unconscious like Era was, but she was close. Her vision was blurring and her mouth tasted like blood. She pushed herself up onto her knees as he landed in front of her.
Sil tried to stand but was now too weak to do so. Instead she could only stay there on her hands and knees trying to keep herself up as he looked down at her and began gloating about how weak she and Era were. Sil didn't like listening to it. After all they'd been through. After all of the power they'd attained. They were still weaklings in the grand scheme of things. Their power felt like it was worth so much more than the number on the Scouter, but right now it felt like it was just a spec of dirt on a glass table that was being swept away by the maid.
Apparently Era felt the same way.
From Era's crater her signature red aura had since erupted to life and Era was now floating out of the crater with a murderous scowl on her face. Sil began to feel the heat of it. She knew this could only mean Era's power was skyrocketing like it had been against Commander Korvaiis when he insulted and berated her in training. Based on the heat Era's power had to be reaching similar to even greater levels than it had against the Commander, and Sil let herself lay back down to protect herself from what was coming.
Era's power was indeed skyrocketing to the point where everyone who was actually wearing a Scouter would have been alerted to it. Era's power, thanks to her anger and humiliation at this creature's hands, had now broken 30,000 and was still on the rise. Against the Commander it was just embarrassment. This was something more. Apparently the more deeply rooted the negative emotion in the outburst, the greater the power increase.
Era's power halted at 35,000 and she raced into action streaking across the sky into her enemy like a red lightning bolt. Her punch tore through his stomach and out the back snapping his spine in two causing him to instantly go limp on her arm. She then pulled her arm free and threw him into the sky before letting all of her power out at once in a massive Ki blast which caught over 200 extra soldiers in its path and vaporized all of them on the spot and greatly seared the body of the creature she'd just impaled. He was dead, but his body more or less still in tact. Those enemies with powers of only 4,500 or lower, vaporized.
Era's power dropped like a stone after that causing her to faint from exhaustion and power loss. By the time her unconscious body hit the ground her power had dropped to 5. A far cry from the 35,000 it had just been. Sil crawled over to her friend and put her hand on Era's arm just before passing out herself.
Both women were now out of the fight leaving the rest of the team to finish the job.
