The Tuffle and the Saiyan faced each other as a flash of
lightning lit up the stormy gray sky on Earth. Form an outsider’s view, they
looked like two ordinary men. The Tuffle, Enoki, was the shorter one, with
white skin, short black hair, golden-yellow eyes, and a scared face. Enoki wore
his typical yellow jacket, dark colored shirt, red belt, blue pants, and dark
red boots. Enoki adjusted the red scouter over his left eye.
“So I heard that you managed to arrive to this planet,” the
Tuffle stated. He gave the Saiyan a look of curiosity tinged with
disgust. “What led you to abandon your life on Planet Plant?” Then he
added in a condescending manner, “One planet not enough to satisfy your greed?”
“The name is Planet Vegeta,” scowled the larger warrior in a low
voice. “At least, it was called that.” His irises and long spiky hair were the
color of black holes and he wore a black battle gi, shirt, pants and boots to
match. A thin chain necklace with a Christian cross hung fairly loose around
his neck. Enoki suspected that the Saiyan had a brown tail like the other
Saiyans, but he wasn’t sure if he was missing his tail or if it was hidden.
The Saiyan spoke again. “You know nothing about what happened to
our race. My people were nearly wiped out by Frieza when he blew up
Planet Vegeta. He enslaved the Saiyans, worse than your people did, sending
them on dangerous missions to conquer planets for him! King Vegeta’s arrogance
didn’t help the situation, either. I’m surprised that you weren’t wiped out
like the rest of them during that fateful night of the full moon.”
After his rant, he observed Enoki closely. There was something
different about him that he was trying to comprehend. “Are you sure you’re
really a Tuffle? I sense a mixed energy from you.”
Enoki crossed his arms. “Of course I am. I am Enoki, the Tuffle
through and through. If it weren’t for you Saiyans committing near genocide on
my race, then I would be living a much better life right now!”
The Saiyan scoffed. “So…Enoki, can you explain how your
ancestors enslaving my people was any better than what we Saiyans did to your
kind?”
“We didn’t enslave you!” Enoki argued. “My ancestors welcomed
you with open arms. If you Saiyans had managed to control yourselves, we
wouldn’t have had to banish you. Who are you, anyway?”
“I call myself Enigma,” he answered. “And if you had treated my
race with respect and shared your land and valuables with us, then we wouldn’t
have fought you in the first place.”
Enoki let out a shaky laugh. “Oh please! ‘You wouldn’t have
fought us?’ That’s like saying fish wouldn’t have to live underwater. Your
people were after the entire planet, not just our wealth and weapons. All you
care about is yourselves and any fight that comes your way. I might add, you
all are gluttonous too.”
“We are not!” Enigma protested. “We just need to eat a lot of
food to survive. What’s your purpose behind living in metal boxes and playing
with tools all day long? You wouldn’t know a battle nor the outside world if it
was right in front of your eyes.”
“It’s called being educated,” Enoki stated.
“More like being restrained,” Enigma scoffed. “I am plenty smart
enough to survive on my own. You wouldn’t last a day without your precious
technology.”
“You and your primitive mind wouldn’t last long either,” Enoki
mentioned.
“What did you just say?” Enigma asked darkly.
“You heard me, or are you deaf as well as a brute?”
Enigma yelled in response and his spiky hair turned the golden
color of a Super Saiyan.
“Now you’re just asking to die, Tuffle.”
Enoki powered up as well, and his hair turned crimson red.
“What form is that?” Enigma asked.
“Super Tuffle,” he replied.
“I thought Tuffles couldn’t naturally power up like Saiyans.”
“Well now you know,” Enoki responded.
“So that means…you’re not a whole Tuffle! You’re just a puny
hybrid!” He let out a malevolent cackle.
“You take that back, you dark emo ape!” Enoki spat.
Anger flamed in his eyes along with a crazed grin appeared on
Enigma’s face. “The only one I’ll take back is a red-haired Tuffle…back to his
long-gone family!”
Faster than Enoki could blink, Enigma fired a black beam of
energy at Enoki’s chest. The impact hit him hard and he fell backwards to the
ground.
Enoki lifted himself up, using his hands and knees, barely
dodging the array of circular blasts that Enigma fired from his fingers. Enoki
dodged the blasts as he sprinted to the right. He flew in the air over the rest
of the blasts, aiming his fist at Enigma’s face. He caught the Tuffle’s fist in
his right hand, stopping Enoki’s decent. Enigma fired up a teal blast with his
other hand, but Enoki jabbed him in the neck with his elbow and jumped out of the
way. The blast had hit the ground, sending dirt and sparks into Enigma’s face.
Now it was the Tuffle’s turn to laugh evilly.
The Saiyan wiped his face and shook his head. Seizing the
opportunity, Enoki kicked him from behind, after teleporting behind him. The
Saiyan stumbled forward, but didn’t fall. He whirled around and punched at the
Tuffle with both hands. The Tuffle easily blocked and dodged the attacks.
For several minutes, both men were hovering in the air, throwing
kicks and punches, dodging each one. Finally, the Tuffle got the upper hand and
smacked the Saiyan several time across the face. Enigma stopped him with a
tight grip of his wrist. Enoki grimaced in pain as he felt his wrist being
squeezed harder. Enoki knew that he would be fighting with one hand if he
didn’t escape.
“You think this hurts?” Enigma asked with a smirk. “How about I
try your neck next?”
His large white hand reached out as the Tuffle still struggled.
Enoki leaned backward and turned himself almost upside down. Through the pain,
he fired blindly at the Saiyan with his left hand.
“What the?” Enigma asked.
Enigma blocked the attack, but his temporary surprise allowed
Enoki to break free from the Saiyan’s grip.
Soon the metallic, stormy air was quiet again, save for the two
men catching their breaths and a distant rumble of thunder. Enoki was thankful
to have his round Portabello spaceship nearby, (with transparent mode on of
course, so it could not be seen by anyone, except his droids.) The dark gray
clouds above helped illuminate the already bright auras of the warriors. Down
below, the green grass swayed in the breeze, the many green blades reaching
toward the sky as the first drops of rain started to fall. Out toward the
horizon, tall leafy palm trees danced in the wind, moving from side to side.
For a moment, the warriors were silent. They pierced each other
with harsh glares and clenched fists.
Then, as if they read each other’s minds, Enoki and Enigma
powered up at the same moment, their yells echoing through the air.
Their hair gradually grew longer as they ascended to their
higher forms. Enigma’s hair grew longer down his back as he transformed into
Super Saiyan 3. Enoki’s red hair got spikier and spread out from his head in a
star-like shape as he entered Super Tuffle 3. Enigma’s dark teal aura
contrasted with Enoki’s red aura.
“You are making a huge mistake, messing with me,” Enigma stated.
“After having my race wiped out and barely surviving the impact,
I think fighting you should be a piece of cake,” Enoki retorted.
“Very well, Tuffle. Your second final death awaits you.”
At the same time, they fired their ultimate powers at each
other.
“Sonic Beam Blast!” cried Enoki.
A beam of dark red light shot from his finger in circular waves.
“Black Star Death Ball!” yelled Enigma.
A black sphere of energy formed in his upheld right hand and he
thrust it forward.
The energy beams clashed with a trembling force and a brief
flash of white light. The two warriors struggled against each other’s power.
The beams moved back and forth, as Enoki and Enigma kept pushing them back.
Enoki yelled once more and his hair turned a vivid purple.
“Super Tuffle ascended 4!” he yelled to no one in particular.
Enigma let out a scream of his own as his long golden hair
slowly grew longer into Super Saiyan 3 form. His teal eyes stared from under
where his eyebrows used to be.
“I was never a fan of that form,” he muttered.
Gradually, Enigma’s black ball of energy inched closer to Enoki.
He squinted his face in concentration, trying to push it back. The more he
pushed it back, the closer it seemed to get afterward. He yelled and powered up
farther but nothing seemed to do any good.
“Sonic Beam Blast times 10!” he yelled. His aura turned a vivid
red and the black sphere was being pushed back…right toward the center. Enigma
stayed in the same position.
“Come on, come on,” he muttered. The red beam slowly pushed
Enigma’s energy back at him…much too slowly.
Sweat formed on Enoki’s forehead and his arms started to shake.
His breaths came in fast huffs.
He looked at Enigma and wondered why he was causally standing
there. His thoughts were soon interrupted. An abrupt force spread from behind
him in light blue waves, nearly knocking him off balance. He turned his head
and spotted an android with long blue hair, white skin and striking eyes. She
was standing with Shiktake, Enoki’s droid. Enoki had never seen her before, but
was glad that he found some individuals to help him.
The android went up to stand not too far away from Enoki. “Sorry
about that,” she said in a mechanical eloquent voice. “I didn’t know you two
were fighting and I was just practicing using my powers.”
“That’s… alright” said Enoki. “Just…help me out…please…” Enoki
needed all the help he could get from the android allies.
“Of course,” she said. She powered up a light blue disc in her
hand and threw it off into the distance. Enoki concentrated on the fight before
him. His beam of red light was now starting to push Enigma’s attack back. Enoki
breathed a sigh of relief.
Out of the corner of his eye, Enoki saw the android’s blue disc
shaped power come flying back…right toward him! It hit the ground and the
Tuffle stumbled backward.
Seizing his chance, Enigma shot his dark energy blast right into
Enoki. He yelled and twitched in surprise as the dark force consumed him. Enoki
soon felt his body powering down and spots appearing before his eyes. His hair
turned back to red and he slumped face first onto the ground.
“Well done, Dysphobia-san,” he grinned.
She grinned back. “My pleasure, Enigma-san. We won’t have to
worry about rivals coming to Earth much longer.”
She wore black jeans, a dark blue gi and dark boots. The upper
left side of her face was transparent with soft blue light, the electricity
flowing vein like.
“If we have children in the future, then they will grow up to be
strong warriors for sure” said Enigma.
“And great gamers,” added Dysphobia. “Though not as good as me…I
mean us,” she corrected after a glare from her partner.
“Let’s hurry and finish off the Tuffle,” Enigma reminded her.
They marched over to the fallen warrior and raised their hands
over him. Out of nowhere, a Saiyan with blue spiky hair appeared in front of
them. He yelled and sent both of them back with a blue blast from his hands. A
curved M was positioned in the center of his forehead. Two more Saiyans
appeared nearby via instant transmission.
“MajinBlue!” called a Saiyan with long red hair and a Greek
accent. “Take care of Enoki! I’ll handle this.”
Faster than light, Dysphobia rushed over and blasted the Saiyan
into the air with a mighty punch.
“Orack!” MajinBlue called in concern.
“I’m okay!” he yelled in the distance.
MajinBlue rounded on Enigma and the warriors traded blows in the
air. “Man you are strong!” MajinBlue exclaimed.
Orack rushed over toward Enigma at the same time as MajinBlue,
but Enigma blocked both of their hits.
Another Saiyan, Retro Ranter, had long brown hair and wore dark
green Saiyan armor. He pulled out a senzu bean from his pocket and leaned down
toward Enoki. He gently turned him over so his face was pointing toward the
sky. A blast from Dysphobia knocked him backward.
“Darn it!” he cursed. Retro rushed forward and elbowed her in
the chest. He then winced and rubbed his elbow from the impact. He threw more
punches, which Dysphobia dodged effortlessly. Shitake, gently picked Enoki up
and searched for the senzu bean. He found it on the ground and picked it up.
“Five second rule need not apply,” he spoke in a robotic voice.
He put the bean in Enoki’s mouth and helped him swallow it. After a few minutes,
the Tuffle stirred and groaned.
“Shitake?” he asked the tan droid.
“Enoki-sama, you’re awake.”
“Yeah. You saved my life again.”
Shitake thrust out his metallic hand, forming a green energy
shield that blocked another teal blast from Dysphobia.
“We must flee,” stated Shitake.
“I can’t leave my allies behind,” said Enoki, straightening
himself up. “No matter how crazy they may be.”
“I can’t lose you again Enoki-sama. It’s too risky.”
“Being a Saiyan involves taking risks,” said Enoki in a much
clearer voice. “Guard the ship and get ready to take off.”
“But Enoki…”
Enoki freed himself from the droid and charged at Enigma with a
renewed vigor. Even with three Saiyans fighting Enigma at once, he was still
able to dodge most of their attacks. Dysphobia was firing at the empty space,
until a smoking hole from her blast revealed the ship’s location. Shitake stood
his ground and fired green blasts of his own. Retro Ranter stood and observed
the area, making sure that no one else had arrived on the scene.
Enigma spread out his hands and another dark sphere of energy
expanded from in between them. The Saiyans flew away in different directions
only to be pushed back by another shock wave from Dsyphobia.
“You have three choices, Saiyans,” said Enigma. “Join me and
help me defeat those who have wronged me and my race.”
“We will gladly fight the Frieza force with you,” said Retro
Ranter, playing it safe.
“You will not fight my demon brethren,” scowled MajinBlue. “They
still raised me in the past.”
“The Majins have caused enough trouble as it is,” said Enigma in
contempt. “They will stay in Hell where they belong.”
“I will not submit myself to someone else’s Tuffle-hating
leadership,” added Enoki. “Although you are the strongest warrior I have faced
thus far.”
“I don’t need to tell you how ignorant and stupid you are,” said
Enigma. Then he smirked, “Oh I just did.”
“For His Majesty King Vegeta!” yelled Orack out of nowhere.
“King Vegeta was a tyrant who only cared for himself and his
elite supporters,” said Enigma. “He never once thought to consider his own
common people, let alone the other races he and his army destroyed.”
“You are fools to support the enemies,” said Enigma. “Stand and
face me, or else I’ll redirect my blast to your ship and your friends.”
He raised the dark energy sphere high above his head, the blast
growing slowly each minute.
Retro Ranter in a state of panic, teleported himself to his
Saiyan comrades. The four men looked at each other and nodded.
They thrust out their hands together and sent several beams of
red, yellow, blue, and green at Enigma.
“Sonic Beam Blast!” said Enoki.
“Retro Rager!” yelled Retro.
“Fractal Flash!” shouted Orack.
“Demonic Destruction!” said MajinBlue.
Once again, the energies clashed in the center. Enoki looked up
and saw his ship, now fully revealed, flying through the air controlled by
Shitake. Dysphobia raced after it, shooting blasts from her hands.
They were even in the fight for a while. Then Enigma’s dark
blast inched forward toward the warriors.
“Not again!” groaned Enoki.
“Everyone let go!” ordered Retro Ranter suddenly.
“Are you insane?” yelled Orack. “Keep pushing!”
“We won’t last much longer,” said MajinBlue.
Enoki looked and saw the ship hovering below them, a hatch on
the top of the ship wide open.
“Listen to Retro! Do it!” cried Enoki. Enigma’s energy was
almost in front of their faces now.
“Now!” Enoki called.
Together, the four men gave one final push at the black energy
and let themselves fall from their backs. They froze in midair just before
hitting the metallic ground from inside the spaceship.
Shitake removed his finger from an orange button on the wall
that controlled the gravity around the area.
“Get us out of here!” said Retro.
The hatch door closed just before Dysphobia blasted a large hole
through it. With a single command from Shitake, the ship lurched forward and
picked up speed. After several more direct hits, Enigma and Dsyphobia faded to
dark dots in the distance, unable to catch up.
“This battle is not over,” said Enigma, Dsyphobia standing next
to him.
Part 2
After
Enoki and the Saiyans made their escape, Enigma finds them again. Halusa and
MajinBlue fuse (Majinblusa) and Retro Ranter and Orack fuse (Retrorack). But
Enigma has unlocked a new form beyond god level: Super Saiyan Black. Who will
win? Next time on DragonRealm Meloverse!
