Chapter 134 - Chapter 133

By the time the Z-fighters had finished organizing themselves, the alien finally touched down on the planet's surface. Dropping straight down into the water right inside the formation of battleships and aircraft carriers, the creature caused a massive ripple on impact that pushed the ships back in the form of a tsunami. Their arrangement broken, the vessels continued firing up at the behemoth despite the added turbulence. The sailors had to hold on tight as every single ship was rocked from side to side by the drastically shifting tidal forces holding them up.

Even Android 17 was knocked off balance, the raven haired fighter disengaging from his assault as soon as the alien dropped into the ocean.

"Damn it. This isn't working. None of my attacks are even getting to it," the artificial fighter muttered, quickly taking flight just as another barrage of cannon fire peppered the creature from all sides. "I have to come up with something else."

While the fleet broke up and jets started taking to the air to further engage the creature, the armies stationed on the land began their assault as well.

Lining up along the beach, columns of M1 Abrams, FV4034 Challenger 2s, AS-90s, M270 MLRSs, LAV 25s, M6 Linebackers and all other manner of armored vehicles loaded their guns and took aim at the creature. Along with swaths of soldiers, mobile artillery, and weapon mounted trucks and jeeps, the military locked all sights on the colossal kaiju and opened fire.

Gun and artillery fire rang out across the country as a barrage of shells and rockets were lobbed towards the alien. However, the instant the first wave of rounds impacted against the creature's shield, they either exploded or bounced harmlessly off of the invader, inflicting no damage to its hide whatsoever.

However, the military was undeterred, and the soldiers continued firing upon it. Anti-aircraft batteries rang out, countless rockets were launched from their launchers, and the tanks blasted away at the creature like there was no tomorrow.

While the navy pulled back and continued to fire on the now grounded creature, which was wallowing in the ocean like it was treading in shallow water, a couple miles inland, other military vehicles were lining up to join the assault.

Having held themselves back at a safe distance, armored tanks and trucks towing enormous missiles aimed their payloads towards the horizon and launched them. With the sound of thrusters roaring across the forests, the enormous missiles were hurled from their stations and sent arcing into the sky towards the creature. Adding to the deafening assault from the army along the coastline, the King's military prayed that this onslaught would at least do something to damage the creature.

Spotting the hundreds of missiles converging on its position from behind the blasts of artillery shells exploding against its shield, the giant alien growled. Its eyes glowing red, the Z-fighters and the attacking military looked on in bewilderment when the beast suddenly produced a glowing purple ball of energy from its forehead, which then hovered into the air above it.

Seeing the sphere pulse and zap as it was charged, Piccolo's eyes suddenly widened in alarm and he immediately dove off of the mountain. "SHIT! GET DOWN!" He shouted both verbally and via his telepathy, an instruction the scattered Krillin, Android 18 and Yamcha willingly followed.

It was a good thing they did because the second the small sphere of energy above the alien was fully charged, a thin beam of purple energy was fired from it and sent straight towards the very end of the formation of missiles coming in at low altitude. Once the beam was fully extended, it then spun around in a full 360 degree of motion in less than three seconds, cutting straight through the approaching missiles. The instant it faded, not only did every single rocket detonate in the order the beam had struck them down, but the attack also sliced the tops off of every single mountain within a hundred kilometer radius of the creature, including the one Piccolo had been standing on.

Needless to say, the alien had given the planet its first real haircut in spectacular fashion.

Android 17, who'd been airborne at the time, barely avoided being cut in half by the attack.

Upon dispersing of the missiles and a good portion of the countryside disrupting its view, the skull-faced creature then turned to the army still shooting at it from the cliffs and beach. Snarling at them, the extra terrestrial brought forward one of its ribbon-like arms and, whipping it into the air, swung it down and smashed away an entire section of the coast, taking out a quarter of the military forces with ease. Hundreds of men perished in an earth-shaking explosion of dust and rubble, their cries drowned out by their exploding vehicles and the sound of the landscape caving in on itself.

At first the creature didn't give a damn about the army or the navy shooting at it, and showed even less concern towards the Z-fighters. But now it was taking the time to pummel them into oblivion.

Getting to his feet after his harrowing dive, Piccolo wasted no time in gathering his senses and blasting towards the creature at full speed, aura blazing around him.

Yamcha, managing to pick himself out of the grass as well, spotted his teammate fly by, leaving a trail of white energy behind, "Ah, what the hell. If we're going to die, we may as well go down fighting!" Powering up as well, the grinning man shot up after the Namekian and both arced towards the octopus-like alien from all sides.

While the creature occupied itself with slapping the coastline with its enormous ribbon appendages, Krillin and Android 18 managed to leap back to a safe distance and take up positions on a new cliff a few miles away. During which time they then heard the roar of hundreds of aircraft and looked up in time to see dozens of jets pass over them.

Flying in formation towards the monster, squadrons of F-22 Raptors readied themselves for combat; loading their weapons and locking onto their distant target. In the center of the formation, the squadron leader directed traffic as he and his mates made their final approach of the beast.

"This thing has got to have a weak spot somewhere. Come in low and fast, and hit it where it hurts," the Captain ordered, watching the numbers and crosshairs on his screen light up the enormous creature wrecking the beaches. Upon getting a good look at the sheer size of the colossus, easily dwarfing their tallest mountains, the man shook his head in disbelief. "Damn. The instructors at the academy never prepared us for anything like this." He then looked across at his wingmen and gave them a respectful nod. "Good luck, fellas. We're going to need it."

At that moment, his partner on his right spoke up over the radio. "Uh, Smith. It looks like you've got yourself a couple of extra wingmen on your nine o'clock."

Appearing confused at first, the Captain looked to his left to see what his fellow pilot was talking about. When he did, he balked when he saw two people flying alongside his plane and had to shake his head to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"What's the scoop, Cap?" another pilot asked over the airways.

Captain Smith tilted his head when he got a good look at the pair. "You may want to watch your fire out there today, boys. It looks like we'll be fighting alongside a little mime and a topless bald guy with three eyes." He then blinked when he realized who he was looking at. "Hang on… I think I recognize that guy. Isn't that Tienshinhan?"

"The former World Martial Arts Champion, sir?" the captain's wingman inquired.

The squadron leader chuckled, "Yeah. That's him." Giving an amused chuckle, Smith then turned his attention back to the flight ahead. "Man. What a weird day this is turning out to be. First I find out the planet's being invaded by some giant octopus from hell and now I'm flying alongside one of the strongest men in the world. What are the odds?" His computers beeping loudly and telling him they were in range of their target, the leader of the raid took a few deep breaths to calm down and nodded his head assuredly. "Clench up boys. This is it. Let's send this freak back to whatever part of the galaxy it came from. Are you with me, Angels?"

"Yes, sir!" came the unanimous cry from multiple voices over the comm. channel.

Popping his visor down, the pilot then dialed into the console and made his jet combat ready. "Bring the rain!"

As soon as the squadron of Raptors picked up speed, so did Tien and Chiaotzu, both of whom joined the captain and his wingmen in breaking up the arrangement and scattering throughout the sky. When the jets fell within range, they began unleashing their payloads on the creature from all sides. Rockets shot from the planes and arced towards the titan leisurely smashing up the landscape and wiping out the army, striking against its side in a series of impressive explosions.

The first wave failed though. All the missiles did was impact against the barrier surrounding the alien and inflicted no damage to it whatsoever. However, the arrival of the planes did draw the extra terrestrial's attention away from the army and when a couple of the raptors blew past its head, the monster gave a loud shriek of annoyance and turned its attention to the flies buzzing around it.

Seeing the first wave of missiles detonate uselessly, Captain Smith cursed. "Damn it. Okay then. Blue Squadron; move in for a second pass." He then led the next detachment of Raptors in for another run.
