Episode #12: The Identity Behind the Attacks?

Zymon took the hit without hesitation and began to think. He then acted on what he just felt from the Android. F tried again with the same hand but Zymon blocked it. he then grabbed it's middle 2 fingers and broke them off on both hands.

"Good night.you foolish TOY!" Zymon Gloated as he shot a unusual looking energy wave from his hand at Android F. "I guess my training payed off"

Eddy sat back and waited for something to happen, seeing the still very much angered look on Ed's face.

"Stand back, my chums," commanded Ed, an unusually stern tone in his voice. "These things are mine..."

He suddenly charged forward, knocking two of them into the air with just his speed alone, and specifically targeted the one that struck Sarah, as if guided by a radar. He kicked into the air, and proceeded to pummel it senseless with a flurry of strong punches. He backed away after a while, and straightened up to his full height, belting out

"I'MMA FIRIN' MAH LAZAR!"

With that, a large white beam suddenly blasted forth from his mouth, incinerating the stunned prototype. As it continued, it also blew away his other two enemies...

Ed uses Angry (Hax) Mouth Beam, inflicting 3,297 damage! (3,000 -> 0)

Up in the skies above, the battle between the vets and the complete models was not going their way. Finally, backed into a corner, Corey, Drew, Makuta, and Kale all called out:

Makuta was in a brutal struggle with Android #8, both pounding on each other with brutal melee attacks, neither using any strategy thus far. Makuta had the slightest edge over the robot, but the Androids limitless stamina left Makuta at a disadvantage. #8 caught Makuta by surprise, launching a sphere of Ki, in which Makuta caught, and after being launched back a ways, reflected into the air. Makuta took his chance, and unleashed his signature arm stretching attack.

Makuta attacks Android #8 with Gomu Gomu Pistol at 2 BS's used, inflicting 1,933 (5,600 -> 3,661)

"Urgh...these things are really something else..." said Corey. "Hard to believe that a jock made them..."

With this, he parried some more attacks from the Android he was fighting, #5. Eventually, he found an opening, and kicked it back with two feet.

Corey attacks Android #5, inflicting 1,337 damage! (5,900 -> 4,567)

Kale was doing his best to fight against android #7 who was more or less evenly matched with him as he was forced into a defensive "man these androids are no joke" said Kale as the android found an opening and hit him down.

the android landed a few feet away from Kale "This android is strong but I doubt hes faster than me said Kale as he grabbed his sword with two hands. the android charged for Kale but Kale stayed where he was "just a little closer...." thought Kale waiting for the right moment. the android finally got within two feet of kale and that when he made his move.

Kale dashed quickly and swung his sword too fast to see and the two were standing back to back. the android turned and showed a a cut on his chest glowing bright red. after a few seconds the cut burst into blue flames. caught off guard from the flames the android jumped back to gain some ground and put out the flames.

Kale used Hiryu: Kean on android #7 dealing 1783 points of damage (5,100 -> 3317)

Drew and his Android were fighting evenly as well. The eldest of the cousin trio found himself slightly amazed.

"Damn it..." Drew grunted. "You're going down!"

And even as Drew landed a few punches and a heel-kick, something within the Saiyan's mind was telling him something wasn't right.

HOW could a jock have learned to do this on his own?! he thought, watching the four Androids, damaged as they were, begin to move together, as though discussing some sort of brilliant strategy...

Drew attacks Android #6, inflicting 1,987 damage! (6,200 -> 4,213)
----
OOC: I'm undecided, since all the Androids could oneshot the Vets right now. Either way, I'm bringing in the Eds, but do I want to bring them in with a massive Rage Boost, or just have them jump in later.

The four Androids were within close proximity of each other now, and concocted a coodinated attack. The four proceeded to fan out toward their respective opponets, except for #8, who flew backward attempting to find a tactical advantage.

The three Android exchanged blows with their foes, neither side making any progress. Makuta meanwhile, was wary of #8's falling back, yet suspected that the Android may be laying a trap, and instead engaed one of the other Android that was occupied in combat. This waswhat of the Androids wanted to happen, the occupied Saiyans haven't realized that they were being slowly cornered together. Makuta quickly realized this, but the noose had tightened by then.

Android #5, who was closest to Makuta, disengaged Corey immediately and landed a punch in the face of the caught off-guard Namekian. Before Corey could seize the opening, Android #7 broke off from Kale and attacked the young Saiyan. Drew caught on to this and engaged #5 instead of #7, knowing that #6 would try to attack Drew, he still held guard against #6.

However, the Androids and Saiyans were equal matches to each other, and the Androids sudden tactics forced the Saiyans to fight two targets at once. Seizing this, #6 elbowed Kale in the gut, as Drew had left him open to attack. Lastly a ki blast from above darted down towards the seven, the Saiyans were too occupied to try to escape so Drew knocked them out of harms way so he could take the brunt of the attack alone, while the Androids pulled out at the last second. Drew was engulfed in the ki blast, and was smashed into the ground.
-------
Android #5 attacked Makuta, inflicting 2,364 damage! (6,144-> 3,776)

Android #7 attacked Corey, inflicting 1,767 damage! (5,571->3,804)

Android #6 attacks Kale, inflicting 2,508 damage! (5,667-> 3,159)

Android #8 attacks Drew with Generic Heavy Energy Blast [one stock] inflicting 1,877 damage! (6,132-> 4,255)

As Drew went down Makuta let out a "Damn it" and flew upwards. He extended his left arm, stretching it for a grab to Android #8's face. Makuta awkwardly, due to his arm being stretched out so, threw the Android downwards, towards Kale and his Android opponent.

His reasoning was, Kale could sense the Android coming, and now the Namekian and Saiyan could have a two on two match against Androids #8 and #6.

Kale, just as planned, realized #8's approach, and kicked #6 away. Android #8 blocked a incoming punch from Kale. #6 flew thought he would have the perfect sneak attack agaisnt the blind Saiyan, but he didn't expect Makuta to fire a ki blast from above.

Makuta attacks Android #6, inflicting 1532 damage! (4,213 -> 2,681)

Corey's Turn!

Android #7 and Corey squared off, the former trying to kick the boy into the ground, but Corey was too fast for this. Leaving behind an afterimage to confuse the metallic minion, the young Saiyan soon reappeared, bounding off seemingly nothing and shoulder-charging into the Android's back, sending it crashing to the ground once again.

Corey attacks Android #7, inflicting 1,572 damage! (3,317 -> 1,745)
-----------
Below, the Eds watched as Drew struggled to pick himself up after the last attack. However, as luck would have it, he did.

"Look at him go, guys!" Ed marveled, his anger having diminished following his single-handed destruction of the prototypes.

"Don't get too complacent, Ed, it looks like this could be quite a long, drawn-out affair," observed Edd as the battle continued above.

"Ah, relax, Double-D, they've got this all under control..." Eddy said, though a tiny voice in the back of his head whispered I hope...

Terra was in in a closed room, the Android that was collected was on a table near him. It was almost scrap metal as Terra was looking for the information leading to Utonium.

He was typing on a computer, countless images of data waves and curves showed up, and minimized. Finally a map of some sort appeared.
-----------------

Savannah was meditating by Streak, and Alysha was standing, arms crossed, against the wall. Alicia and Tai ma where standing near them. And Zymon was outside.

The door that lead to Terra's room opened. "I've found him!" He shouted as his brows furrowed in seriousness. "Pack up guys, were leaving, we must make haste..."
-------------
Moments later, the 7 made their way, their location; Peach Creek!

Kale knowing what Makuta had planned thought it best to push his Kaioken a step further "Kaioken Times 4!" yelled Kale as a read aura flared around his body again.

---------------------------------------------------------
PL: 7556 HP: 5,667/3,159 ATK: 2,288 DEF: 2,344 SPD: 3,004
---------------------------------------------------------

"grr...I can feel the strain on my body got to make this quick" said Kale as he felt the damage the kaioken was doing on him and charged at Android #6 throwing a series of quick sword swings. the android still proved to be a worthy opponent but Kale was not gonna let himself be bested by an android as he caught a opening and sliced off one of the androids arms.

caught off guard again Kale was able to knock the android to the ground and then did the hand shape for the spirit gun and pointed it at Android #6. "Spirit Gun!" yelled Kale as he fired a spirit bullet that hit the android dead center in the chest and destroyed it.

Kale hit Android #6 with Spirit gun at kaioken burst x4 dealing 3,198 (2,681 -> 0)
Kale took 8% damage from the kaioken burst x4 taking 453 points of damage (3,159->2,864)

Drew, meanwhile, decided to attack #8, who was distracted with trying to attack the tired Kale. Because of this, Drew charged a Kamehameha, and blasted the Android's back with all his strength.

Drew uses Kamehameha at 5 BS's on #8, inflicting 2,805 damage! (3,661 -> 856)
--------
The vets and Kale soon began to feel the effects of the Kaioken, and that's when the remaining robots made their move. As Android #6 fell to ashes, #7 came back, and put the tired Corey in a death grip of sorts, slamming him into the ground hard enough to break the average person's entire skeletal system. #5 and #8 fanned out, one of which knocked Kale to the ground. Drew, winded from the exertion of his Kaioken x3 Kamehameha, soon find himself being slammed into Makuta. All the vets that didn't already do so returned to normal.

Android Hax kicks in, allowing the instant knockout of the vets.
--------
The Eds were shocked at what happened. After a few suspended moments, the shock soon turned to rage. How dare they hurt their friends! It was time, time to finish things. Even if they weren't Saiyans, all three knew it was now time to throw down the gauntlet.

Auras of white, light blue, and yellow-green flared around the Eds as their anger peaked, and all three gave a yell:

"KAIOKEN ATTACK TIMES THREE!"

The Eds launched forward, Eddy reaching his target first, #7. The Android whirled around, just in time to get its head punched clean off its shoulders, and its body blasted to pieces by a yellow-green energy blast.

Eddy attacks Android #7, inflicting 2,491 damage! (1,745 -> 0)

Edd was the next to launch forward. Unlike the other two, he still had enough presence of mind to leave some spare parts for Jasper. However, in his anger, he chose an out-of-character, brutal way to do it. He open-palm struck #8 square in the chest, and wrapped his hand around the power core of the Android. With a sharp grunt (and a subtle complaint of a migraine), Sockhead brutally ripped out the power core of the Android, causing it to shut down.

Edd attacks Android #8, inflicting 1,758 damage! (856 -> 0)

Ed flew straight at #5, his head lowered sharply.

"TAKE THIS, FOR I AM LOTHAR!!!" he roared, launching at him with enough force to snap the body in two. He turned, and blasted it with almost all his strength in a Kamehameha, turning the droid into scrap.

Ed attacks Android #5, inflicting 4,979 damage! (4,567 -> 0)

"Did you sense those three powers?" Alicia said, not to anyone in particular.

"It was a massive burst of energy coming from someone near our destination..." Terra said. Everyone was still in flight, en route to Peach Creek.

"For those few moments the threes powers shot above us using the Kaioken. Could it be, more of the Neo Earths Special Forces?" Tai Ma finished. Streak remained silent in his light form, and the twins happily flew in circles, not a real care in the word,Savannah obviously enjoying herself more then Alysha.
-----
The Eds touched down, anger subsiding along with there Kaioken forms. They searched Drew's person, finding the bag of Senzu's. Three Beans, two split into enough for the Vets and Kale, the last for the Eds. The Vets and blind Saiyan,even in there half consciousnesses, had sensed what had just transpired. They stood up, and Drew and Corey looked the Eds up and down.

"You did great..." Drew said, though he didn't seemed too surprised. He knew they had such a capability, and a odd sense of pride filled him.

"If that didn't prove your Saiyans, I don't know what will. Well done..." Corey said, adjusting his headband back into place.

"I still don't believe that we are aliens, though for that time out anger did allow us to tap into a greater strength..." Edd said, hand onto his chin in thought.

"Well, at this moment it doesn't matter..." Drew spoke up. They turned towards Kevins house, and they all began to walk towards it.
-----
OOC: Tai Ma mistaking he Eds for one of the other Vets is suppose to be symbolic or something. Couldn't think of anything better for Cousins dialogue.

Elsewhere in the town, Jimmy saw Sarah lying still on the street, not moving.

"Sarah!" he called out, running towards her and helping you up. "Who did this to you?"
------
The five Saiyans continued to walk towards Kevin's house, which notably had a patch on the roof, as though something big and powerful just busted its way out.

"Look!" said Ed, pointing to the rather obvious patchwork.

"Well, that's irrefutable evidence..." Edd mused, still thinking about what had happened to him when he got mad. He held the still warm power core in his hands.

the team made it to Kevin's house "ok so whats our first-" began Edd and was cut off by Drew kicking in the door "lets get this over with!" he said in anger as he ran inside.

while the others ran into Kevin's house the other kids had gathered around Sarah trying to get her to wake up. "who could of done this?" said Nazz with a worried look on her face "I be it was those brutes, I saw them walking away from here when I showed up" said Jimmy.

"D-Double-D! Look out!" Sarah woke up, screaming. "...J-Jimmy...? Nazz?"

"Did they do this to you?!" Nazz exploded, looking towards where Group 1 had left. "Those...!"

"N-no..." Sarah whispered. "They didn't do this to me. IT was...a white blur...or something."
--------
"...Drew's pissed..." Corey said, stating the obvious. Just then, he sensed some familiar Ki energies approaching. "Hey...are...?"

He saw a mass of light, and several distant figures in the distance. "I see Streak. I'd recognize that mass of light anywhere."
--------
"We're here, guys, and I can see Corey and Makuta down there!" Terra called out.

Group 2 landed in front of Makuta and Corey "look like you finally joined the party" said Corey "Sorry but we had our own problems with some androids, took us a while to find out where they were coming from" said Tai Ma putting a surprise on Corey's face.

Corey shared what he could in a nutshell and Terra did the same "wait so if Drew's inside then.." said Terra looking around "wheres Jasper?" he finished. Corey bowed his head knowing he left that part out from his story.

"we were attacked by a horde of android lead by a really powerful blue one with white hair" said Corey "while we were fighting the other android he and Jasper went head to head and Jasper's body was damaged...right now hes in some kind of sleep mode" he finished sending shock to Terra.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Corey said. "...Hmm...if he knows how to make Androids, maybe he can fix them too."

Before anyone could question what the young Saiyan meant, he was inside the house.
------
Drew had successfully beaten Kevin about the basement, holding back, of course, to first instill, as he said, "a sense of humiliation" into the smaller boy, before the execution. Kevin was now inside what was left of his monitor, both his eyes blackened and his body covered in small bruises and cuts.

Kevin struggled back to his feet.

"...Seriously...stop..." Kevin wheezed.

"You almost killed us, and now that you're found out and losing, you don't want to play anymore?!" Drew roared, raising one of his hands, slowly charging a Ki blast. "Absolutely pathetic. I'll end this game--"

"Stop, Drew!" Corey called out.

"Why!, he spent all this time trying to kill all of us, its because of him that Ed sister got hurt hes a monster and needs to be destroyed!" said Drew as he turned to face Kevin who at this point has started to cry. "does that look like the face of a monster drew...." said Corey as both he and Drew grew silent.

"P...Please...don't kill me" cried Kevin as he curled up "tch...pathetic" said Drew as the orb of energy disappeared from his hand.

"Kevin." Corey said, stepping forward. "We know by now of what you did. You tried to kill us all, and for what? A scam that went horribly, horribly wrong? I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. An Android friend of ours, Jasper, was critically damaged as a result of a previous fight with Androids. We want you to help Double-D and another friend of ours, Terra to fix him."

"Wha-?" Kevin looked up. "How...?"

"It's obvious that someone else told you how to build these things."
----------
While Corey and Drew were inside trying to grill Kevin for information, the remainder of the Kids walked up to Kevin's house, seeing the door, and dragging the bruised Sarah with them. They didn't appear to be listening to her reasoning right away, seeing the kicked-in door also didn't help matters.

"What is going on here?!" Jonny demanded. "Look how unhappy Plank is! What's that? Yeah, I'll bet they beat up ROlf too!"

"Rolf's been missing for some time now..." Edd mused, the looks on the Kids' faces frightening.

"This could be bad...!" Kale said, able to feel the rage in the air.

The kids continued to rage to everyone standing outside "what are you doing to kevin!" yelled Nazz carrying a broom stick as a weapon. "you better tell us or ill give you such a pinch!" said Jimmy carrying a hockey stick". Sarah was still too dazed from the hit to say anything clearly enough for everyone to hear.

"What are we gonna do?" said Kale but the eds didn't have an answer for him "we could tell then the true story" continued Kale turning his to face the Eds however this seemed to make things worse as the kids got a look at Kale's sword.

Jimmy let out his usual scream and nearly passed out in fear "A sword!, good havens they must of cut Rolf and Kevin up and hid their body's!". a sweat bubble ran down the head of kale and anyone else who could hear Jimmy.

Streak looked from the angry kids of the cul-de-sac, who were still processing the statement made by Jimmy.

"Surely they should know who we are...?" he mused to no one in particular. "...I'll go inside, make sure Drew and Corey aren't doing anything that would only prove their point..."

With that, the orange hedgehog dashed inside...
---------
"Come on, Kevin. This is a good chance for you to turn things around. Just tell us who taught you how!" Drew shouted, growing angrily.

"I can't...the blue robot said he'd kill me if I blabbed...!" Kevin blubbered.

"...Drew...this just isn't working. We'd better go upstairs before the Kids think we--" he was cut off by Streak's entrance into the room. "Streak? What's going on?"

"The locals think that Kevin and someone else named Rolf are dead at your hands..." he noticed how beat up Kevin was, "Well, this isn't going to help our case any..."

"We need some evidence that he was doing it..." Corey looked around. Drew looked away, eye twitching.

"Damn, if I'd known it would come to this, I wouldn't have smashed it all with his head..."

"Drew...!" Streak grunted. "Alright. We'll bring him out, so at least they know Kevin's still breathing. But you," he turned to Kevin. "You're going to have to tell them the truth."

Finnaly, Nazz closed her eyes and swung the broom at Kale. The bind Saiyan instinctively brought out his sword and blocked the weak attack, making sure to use the blunt side of his sword.They held the position for a few seconds, while Jimmy shook in fear with his hands clenching his head. Jonny seemed to be listening to Plank intently. Makuta stood to the side, watching how the Eds would react to the situation. For once, it wasn't really his fight.

Ed walked over to Sarah and gave her a big hug, confusing the hurt girl a bit.

"BABY SISTER IS OKAY!" the lovable oaf yelled, beginning to cry. Eddy took a step forward, looking...looking guilty.

"Look, it's my fault all of you hate us. All those old scams, were my idea. Heck, if Corey,Drew, and Makuta,-"

"Big Green!" Ed chimed in, turning from Sarah for a moment, before returning to the hug.

"-and Kale thinking he's better then me..." Eddy continued, and Kale let out a anime sweat drop upon hearing this, "... I'd be scamming you right now... but I would never do something like that..." Eddy finished.

"Yeah right! You've hurt us plenty of times!" Nazz said, walking back from Kale.

"Never on purpose..." Eddy said, putting his head down somewhat.

At that moment, Kevin walked threw the front door.

It took the terrified Kids only a moment to realize how beat Kevin looked. Seeing Drew, Corey, and Streak, two of whom were associated with the Eds, walk out after him uninjured, and the first of the three having some blood on his hands from where he had beaten Kevin about didn't help matters.

"...Hey, where's...Jonny?" Kevin weakly grunted.

All the heroes and Kids surveyed the area, to see Jonny and Plank were nowhere in sight.

"Huh, you'd think we wouldn't have lost sight of him that easily..." said Makuta.

"Wait, where are the kids?" Zymon asked. "Huh..."
