-----------
The clone of the long dead King Piccolo and his reincarnation began his attack. He looked among the charging heroes, and targeted one of the Saiyans. However, they all converged on him before he could make his move, and thus left an afterimage. Corey, Drew, and Streak, having lead the charge, were stunned.

"...Afterimage?!" Corey yelled.

"But where...?" Streak looked.

"...please...help me..." a weak voice, one that barely even sounded like a Namek whispered. Just then, all three were knocked back.

Corey and Drew grabbed the ground, the grass underneath peeling away from the ground. Streak recovered a little later with a burst of lightning shot into the air.

Tai Ma, his true target, shot through the air after him, where he was. He stretched out his arm, catching the Saiyan by the arm and pulling him in close. He punched him in the gut, and hit him towards the ground.

King Piccolo III attacks Tai Ma, inflicting 248 damage! (484 -> 236)

Corey and Drew launched off the ground.

"You want eternal rest? I've got it right here..." Drew said, making a mental note that SSJ57G loves to reference MGS2. Corey was the first to charge, and this time, it was his afterimage that caught the clone off-guard. He kicked the demon king in the face, and Drew knocked him to the ground, where a recovering Tai Ma shot a few ki blasts into him.

Streak, meanwhile, decided to invoke his clan's ability.

"Raiken!" yelled the hedgehog, the yellow lightning bolt re-appearing in his quill.

Corey, Drew, and Tai Ma each attack King Piccolo III, inflicting a total of (53 + 83 + 72 =) 208 damage between them! (720 -> 512)

Toonking9- I mean TheToonKing's mental and physical exhaustion boils over into Makuta, causing the Namekian to break down over the fact that a thousand year dead Namekian was on the other end of a battle right in front of him. Or something like that.

Makuta rests for a round, gaining an additional 2 BS's!

Zach rushed forth, ignoring Makuta's condition. Jasper soon joined him, eager to put down this example of wasted talent.

Zach feinted the old Namek out, and allowed Jasper to hit first with a power punch. Piccolo III, stunned, went flying back, where Zach hit him through the back with an energy fist.

"Urgh...yes...that's it..." the clone grunted, pulling away from the two.

Jasper and Zach attack Piccolo III in tandem, inflicting a total of 186 damage between them. (512 -> 326)

Alicia jumped up and flew towards Piccolo III, she landed next to him with a leg sweep, finishing with an uppercut.
================================
Alicia attacked Piccolo III dealing 122 damage! (326 -> 204)

Terra looked back at Makuta and then back at Piccolo III, considering his Defense rather then Attack likeness urged Terra to brace up. He probably wouldn't do much damage anyway.
================================
Terra takes a defensive stance, doubling his DEF (200 -> 400)

After Alicia knocked King Piccolo III into the air she once again charged at him ready to strike as she got up close to him. But the Namekian stopped himself mid air and threw an extending punch at Alicia "oh crap" said Alicia at the punch hit her square in the head.

Alicia landed feet first on the flood after being sent downwards and tried to look up to spot the Namekian to find that he was already within striking distance "Make the pain stop....." he said in a low voice as he kicked Alicia back.

King Piccolo III dealt 336 point of damage to Alicia (448 -> 112)

Streak turned into a mass of light as he moved after the cloned Namek, and kicked him with both his feet back. Corey followed this up with a quick blast to Piccolo III's back, knocking him back again.

Drew decided to try and charge up an attack on his forehead, the Special Beam Cannon. While he did this, Tai Ma coated his hands in fire element energy, and engaged King Piccolo in an exchange of blows, which lead to the Namek being shot back in a column of flames.

Corey, Streak, and Tai Ma all attack King Piccolo in tandem, inflicting a total of 197 damage between them! (240 -> 43)

Drew rests for 1 turn to build up Blast Stocks (+2 BS's - holding the attack)

Piccolo III got up from the attack he took showing all signs of being wounded as he grunted from each movement "the pain....the pain...." he said as his energy seemed to be increasing as well as his body.

"he....hes growing.." said Drew wide eyed "hes a clone of a super Namekian...he can increase his size" said Corey remembering what he learned. "how can we beat him when hes at super form?" asked Zach.

Makuta walked past him "Ill take him down" he said as he stared down the growing clone of Piccolo. "I cannot let who he is stop me from becoming stronger" he said as he stared him in the eyes. "I will become stronger...and I will surpass him!" he continued while throwing his fist back and extending it.

"And I will start by destroying you!, Gumo Gumo Pistol!" he yelled as his fist extended forward and hit the growing Namekian through the chest and out his back.

King piccolo III eyes grew wide from the impact and looked Makuta in the eyes "thank....you...." he said in a smile as he fell back on the ground. Makuta looked confused "did he thank me....for killing him?" he thought to himself.

Makuta used Gomu Gomu Pistol on Piccolo III dealing 104 points of damage (43 -> 0)

Gains:
Corey, Drew, Zach, Tai Ma, Terra, Alicia: 168

"We...we did it..." Corey said. The clone's body seemed to crack.

"The hell...?!" Drew yelled, noticing the body beginning to wither away exponentially.

Always over dramatic... Alicia thought panting from the hit she had taken. Catching her breath, she picked up her waits and put them on. She noticed they were starting to become ineffective. Terra did the same with his cape.

Lets hope he was to be the last for a while.

Makuta turned to the others looking puzzled "did anyone else notice he seemed happy to die?" Makuta asked to the others. everyone else found that to be strange "If i remember right....before he kicked me he said something" said Alicia.

"What did he say?" asked Makuta, Alicia looked down for a bit while thinking of what he heard "I think he said....to make the pain stop..." she said while showing a sad expression on her face.

"...His body's withering away..." said Terra, looking to the still crumbling remains.

"...Of course." Zach concluded, taking a few steps towards the body. "It's because they used ancient DNA to try and clone themselves a King Piccolo. Because the DNA was almost decayed away, they didn't have a whole lot to work with. His skin tone, his begging to die...he was in so much pain the whole time we were fighting him. Even if we had scored an ally in him, there's no telling how much longer he would have lived..."

King Piccolo III's body withered to ashes, leaving behind only the jumpsuit that he wore. The white dust that once formed the gang's latest adversary blew away with the wind.

Drew's scouter rang, and everyone guessed it was about what had just transpired. After a minute of conversing, Drew's series expression made things clear. Something was gonna go down.

"They finished annalizing the data from Operation PENIS..." Drew said to the others. There expressions became serious, even Jasper had been filled in on what was in the data.

"3 days... and then we end this."

The assembled fighters all gave a shout.

"Before I can spar with any of you," Streak said, "I need to have my lightning control evaluated. If it's good enough, I will more than likely be able to join you in the spars this time. I'll be back soon enough." With that, Streak turned into a mass of light.

"He must also need to report how he's helping us." Zach said. "When his clan dispatched him, it was more like a training mission if anything, to help us out."

"Whatever the case," Drew said. "It's time. We all have to train. Zach, Corey, and myself will make up one group..."

"Three days huh?" Jasper thought to himself as he thought back to his previous battles noticing a pattern "In all my fights I had to rely on my raw strength....I need a move like the others....I need a super move" he finished thinking.

"Everyone....if you don't mind Im gonna do some solo training for a bit, Ill be back later" he said to the others who looked at him puzzled "solo training?" wondered Zach. "why would he need to train, couldn't you just upgrade him Terra?" asked Drew as Terra himself wondered why also.

"Jasper, before you go, i need to install an internal scouter device into your body. This will allow you to read power levels, and know when somethings going down, If i may that is..." Terra suggested as he turn to Jasper. "As you wish, friend..." Jasper replied.

"Alright, Jasper, I'd recommend staying with Terra so he can conduct whatever upgrades are necessary." Drew said. "Streak's probably going to spar with one of us here at one point. Tai Ma, I can see doing the same thing, or roughly so."
