The streets were filled with raucous laughter as fighters and spectators alike flocked to the stadium where the twenty-eighth Tenkaichi Budouki Tournament was being held. A lone figure stood off to the side, green cloak blending in with the surrounding shrubbery. Moments later an identical figure emerged from the crowd and nodded briefly before disappearing again, the other figure followed. Conan stared out at the large, tiled platform that served as the arena. It was exactly a year ago, at this place, that he suffered a humiliating defeat by a little oriental man by the name of Lei Fe. That little punk had done more damage to his pride than

As Wakizashi prepared to deliver the final blow, Kale's body suddenly jerked and unleashed a phenomenal power that hurled Wakizashi backwards and released a purplish black cloud. Wakizashi felt like jumping for joy, Kale had managed to expel the adumbration. The cloud hovered a minute then flew straight towards Wakizashi. Wakizashi threw off his shirt and cloak to reveal a torso that was criss-crossed with purple scars everywhere except for the cybernetic chest that gleamed in the fading twilight. As the adumbration charged Wakizashi's chest plates swung open and emitted a blue beam that pulled the dark cloud into its compartments. Kale pus

Kale was surprised to find himself standing, the last thing he remembered was being beaten into the ground by his evil reflection. Kale stared into the grayness as a shadowy figure lumbered forward, bent over with pain. Kale recognized the intruder immediately. It was the reflection that had nearly destroyed him at the beginning. It lifted its head and stared in amazement. "I thought I had finished you off. No wonder I couldn't tap your full power." Kale didn't know what the creature was talking about, but he was tired of sharing his body with scum. "You want my power? Come and get it." Kale powered up to his maximum and was prepared to str

The head of the ADP shouted orders above the wailing of the sirens. Rodriquez had obviously failed to destroy the target and they were now under attack because of his incompetence. The director cursed under his breath as another blast rocked the ADP on its foundations. "Deploy the main laser cannons, scramble all units; I want that monster incinerated." Another blast caused bits of caulking to rain down upon the director's head.  The head of the ADP grumbled audibly, this was not what he signed up for. The adumbration had to give these earthlings some credit, their energy weapons had some power, but were easily destroyed and now they swar

The adumbration was growing weary of this game, he would find out where these earthlings got their sudden increase in strength and destroy it. The earthling was advancing with an energy blade which he had not had before. The adumbration powered up with a roar and fired a double energy blast that took off both of his opponent's arms and left nothing but sparking wires. The earthling stopped in stunned amazement and the adumbration took advantage of his enemy's hesitation. The adumbration punched a hole through Rodriquez's abdomen and chest. He then grabbed him by the throat. "Where did you come from?" He asked the adumbration. His foe looked

Sara floated in a reinforced, glass pod. She vaguely remembered the reason she was here. She had been given a chance for revenge; she had agreed to undergo an experimental treatment that combined her DNA with an extinct alien race known as the Saiyins. This, in theory, would make her like the one who defeated her. How they had come by this alien DNA she did not know, nor did she care, as long as she could do her job and repay that lout who had nearly killed her. Rodriquez had been patrolling the skies for five hours now and his quarry was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, Rodriquez's internal scanner bleeped and pointed to the southwest. He had fo

Rodriquez barely managed to dodge the beam that had incinerated their electro-net and activated his jetpack to stop his decent.  Fortunately, no one was hurt. Headquarters had failed to mention that their quarry could generate energy beams. He decided he would speak to them about that, but for now he had to rethink his strategy. Surprise had been a major factor in his plan, but that was obviously gone now. Rodriquez gave a start as his target suddenly appeared in front of him. Rodriquez recovered his wits and charged. The adumbration easily dodged his opponent's charge, but was struck from behind by an energy beam. He turned to face his at

The head of the Alien Defense Project was in a grim mood. He had been informed that their runaway had been found and was now wreaking havoc all over the city. He had finally been able to get more men and some special ops units as well. Their pursuit had already cost them fifty helicopters and at least, twice that many ground troops. It was time to pull out all the stops; he gave the order to launch S.O.R.E. They were a team of the best and brightest in the A.D.P. and were outfitted with all the latest weapons. If they couldn't stop this menace, then no one could. Commander Mathew Rodriquez was the leader of the Special Operations Retrieval
