Chapter 136 - Chapter 135

Piccolo, leaping to his feet from his spot in the forest, spat out the blood from his mouth and quickly brought two fingers to his forehead. The moment he did, he began to charge, golden electricity starting to zap and pulse around his fingers, at the same time his aura sprang up around him. A loud growl escaped his clenched jaw as he began focusing all of his energy into a single point.

"This thing is just walking through everything we're throwing at it! Damn it! We haven't even made it flinch!" the Namekian thought furiously as he continued gathering energy. "Alright… time to turn this around."

As the extra terrestrial continued floating forward, its two ribbon appendages waving on either side of it while its cowl blew behind it, a couple more blasts impacting it from the side drew its gaze across. When it did, it saw the lavender-haired form of Trunks flying in its direction, hurling balls of energy at it one after the other. Arcing around its head and away from its barrier, the demi-Saiyan thrust both hands forward and unleashed another barrage of attacks that shot towards the creature from above.

His bombardment bounced off of it though, eliciting a snarl from the creature.

All at once, a wave of missiles from its blind spot collided with the alien's back, along with an onslaught of heavy artillery fire from the battleships off shore. Their massive guns rained down hell upon the beast once more, drawing its glare towards them. When it rotated and faced the ocean, it was met by an assault from the squadron of Raptors flying back in, the leader opening up with two sidewinder missiles that rocketed towards its face, only to impact uselessly against its field.

"Shit!" Captain Smith cursed, pulling up when the alien's eyes glowed dangerously and it once again began to charge.

Opening its mouth wide, photons of energy gathered into a single, golden sphere in front of its mouth. As if taking a deep breath, the pulsing energy ball caused the ground to tremble and the air to vibrate around the creature as its density increased little by little. The sight of it not only stunned the sailors onboard the ships and the soldiers on land, it startled the Z-fighters as well. Trunks especially, who was currently floating above the monster as it started gathering energy for a counter attack.

Gasping when he sensed how much ki was being put into that blast, the lavender haired boy then dove for it and powered up a blast of his own. "NO! STOP!" With a yell Trunks suspended himself directly alongside the titan just as it finished gathering power.

With a loud screech, the creature fired its attack, at the exact same time Trunks launched a double-handed blast into the side of it. His attack impacted the sphere of energy just as it was leaving the creature's mouth.

His intervention meant that he was only just able to nudge the ball up a bit before it rocketed towards the battleships on the water. The attack barely overshot them and hurtled towards the distant horizon, where it struck some far off island and detonated in a massive, dome-shaped explosion hundreds of times greater than a thermonuclear warhead. The blast covered the entire horizon line, parting the clouds when it filled the sky with a blinding light and took a decent chunk out of the earth. The sight of the explosion had all of the humans gaping in horror and when the dome faded, the creature realized it'd missed.

Snarling, it turned its attention to Trunks, who was still floating nearby.

The kid flipped it off snidely, "Yeah! That's right you ugly squid! I did that! What're you gonna do about it?! Huh?" The hybrid then waved his hands at it provocatively. "Give me your best shot!"

Identifying him as the cause due to his yelling, the creature's eyes glowed red again before, with a sudden owl-like shriek, it unleashed another shockwave from its body.

The sight had the half-Saiyan pale. "Crap."

The attack blasted outwards, not only catching Trunks by surprise and knocking him flying several kilometers, but it also ripped every single jet in range out of the sky and sent the air force spiraling to the ground.

Captain Smith had to fight the controls when his plane was hit by the colossal blast, his F-22 spinning out of control. Realizing he was in a dive, the man quickly yanked on the stick and ejected from the craft. He rocketed out of the cockpit just in time to see his plane nosedive and crash land in a remote field.

Most of his other squad mates managed to do the same. But some of the others hadn't been so lucky, as they'd perished in the invisible blast when their jets were shredded by the unexpected show of force.

Landing on the edge of the newly formed crater the alien had generated, Smith ripped away his parachute and glared angrily up at the creature floating in the center of the twenty kilometer wide hole. Gritting his teeth, the man pulled out his side-arm and opened fire on it. "Hey! I'm still here you bastard! Come on! Fuckin' bring it!" He shouted profanities between each shot of his Colt.

As brave a gesture as it was, it served no purpose other than to calm him down. When he ran out of ammo, the man chucked his pistol at the beast, only for it to travel twenty five yards of the several miles between him and the titan.

Ignoring the little human, the alien was then turning around to face the continent again. But just as it was in the process of changing course, it spotted something out of the corner of its eye and saw a green figure leap into the air a mile out. Narrowing its gaze, it saw the person suspend himself in the sky and take aim at it.

His two fingers sparkling like a hot poker, Piccolo gave a mighty howl before cocking his hand back and thrusting his fingers forward, unleashing his attack with everything he had. "SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!" A crack of thunder rang out, signaling the launch of a massive orange, drill-like beam, a hundred times larger than any the Namekian had ever produced before, shooting out of his hand and rocketing towards the creature.

The alien balked at the sight of the light speed attack and watched as it collided with its shield. In an instant, five layers of its translucent hexagonal barriers shattered when the attack burrowed into its defenses, only to stop when it hit a particularly thick layer. The creature gave a loud snarl as its body was pushed back slightly under the force of the attack now digging into its protective shield.

The sky lighting up under a fierce orange glow, the beam continued to tunnel into the field now bending underneath it. Piccolo snarled as veins pulsed on his head, attempting to put more energy behind the blast to try and pierce through to the beast. But despite giving it an extra shove, he only managed to shatter two more layers, when it was then stopped by a much denser shield underneath.

The battle lasted for a full two minutes. It was after that time had passed the Namekian finally reach the end of the line and cut off the output, his corkscrew attack detonating against the shield with the force of several hundred nuclear bombs packed into a single blast. The explosion itself caused the layer the warrior had been stuck on to splinter, but as soon as the smoke cleared, all it revealed was a scorched wasteland in place of a forest, a large crater, a trench dug through the earth, and a completely unharmed extra terrestrial.

Piccolo recoiled in shock when he saw the giant alien's eyes light up and heard a loud snarl echo from its mouth.

Doing something completely unexpected, the hexagonal shield in front of the alien suddenly changed shape, taking the form of a translucent octahedron, which split in the center and transformed into two cubes, one hovering over the other, with a sphere of golden energy fixed in the center. The tiny sphere pulsing a couple of times as it was charged, the creature then fired a concentrated purple beam straight towards the Namekian at blinding speeds.

Eyes widening in horror, Piccolo threw his arms up and produced a spherical shield around him. A split second after which the blast fired by the creature slammed into him and pushed him out of the sky, sending him flying for several kilometers before colliding with the side of a ruined mountain. The beam continued to burrow him into the cliff, hammering against his energy barrier and causing the earth to tremble around them.

The Namekian growled as the force of a sun pressed down on top of him, a sensation that last for a full minute before the beam eventually let up. Panting heavily at the effort of holding back such a force, Piccolo smirked exhaustedly, "Ha. Is that all you've got?"

The octahedron shield floating in front of the creature then compressed into a diamond shape, before splitting and transforming into a four-corner prism, with spikes and four golden spheres of energy crackling on the corners. The sight of the attack and the sudden increase in energy levels had the Namekian's eyes widen in shock.

"Ah… shit."

Before he even had time to react, the four balls crackling with golden lightning fired four beams that met in the center and, magnifying under the intensity, the alien creature gave a deafening screech and fired a gargantuan blast at its target. The golden beam, spanning ten kilometers in diameter, rocketed towards Piccolo several times faster than the speed of light and collided with his shield with the force of a thousand suns. The impact was marked by an earthshaking thunderclap as the Namekian was engulfed in a hellfire attack that continued to travel across the planet's surface and out of its atmosphere.

The blast traveled in a straight line for a thousand more miles from the earth before eventually stopping around orbital distance where, looking at it from afar, the beam took the shape of a massive, fiery crucifix.

The skies burned and the landscape was torched. Anything standing within reach of the magnified blast was incinerated and anyone standing outside of range was knocked off their feet by the howling hot winds being produced. The concentrated energy wave continued to gush from the creature's mouth with terrifying intensity, engulfing its small target and burning him mercilessly.

There was so much power behind the blast that it completely overwhelmed the warrior's shield and started to cook the man from the outside-in. Piccolo's pain-filled howl of terror echoed inside the blast as he felt the surface of his skin burn and his eyes start to boil.

However, just when it seemed like the Namekian was about to be incinerated by the enormous attack, the creature's eyes suddenly shot upwards when two golden disks flew at it from above and came at it from the side. Cutting off the energy to its attack when it saw the disks arc towards its head, the alien responded immediately with a flash of its eyes followed by two red disks being fired from its forehead. Its much larger counterstrike collided headlong with the golden ones thrown by both Krillin and Android 18, both of whom were suspended up high in an advantageous position.

Along with Android 17, the trio gawked when they saw the alien stop the two Destructo Disks with its own monofilament blasts with ease. Upon which the red disks overwhelmed theirs, sliced the attacks in two before shooting over the horizon and dispersing.

In spite of their failed attempts to decapitate the beast, they still managed to save Piccolo from a barbeque.

The land the blast had traveled along had a massive trench dug through it so wide that it could be seen from space. Not only that, but the earth was also burning, the forest around the ditch had been turned to ash, and every single mountain and hill that'd been standing in its path had been leveled, including the one Piccolo had been pinned up against.

The attack had generated so much heat, that the ground had been glassed, and the Namekian could be seen lying on top of it.

Looking exactly like how he looked after taking Nappa's Bomber DX move head first, with various patches of his skin burned and cut, the green warrior laid sprawled out in the middle of the ten kilometer wide trench unconscious and bleeding from various wounds. It was a miracle that he was still alive and kicking.

Well… kicking was sort of subjective at this point.

"That's not good," Krillin said, seeing the creature turn to glare in their general direction.

The raven haired android flying up high gritted his teeth nervously, "At least he's no longer frying the crap out of Piccolo anymore."

Sweating nervously despite it now being three-on-one, the former monk spoke up, "There's no way we'll be able to restrain that thing or hold it off. We need to try and take it out of commission."

At that, the male android laughed sardonically, "Ha ha ha. How?"

"Well… we could…" Unfortunately, Krillin wasn't given time to finish his sentence.

When the group saw the beast's eyes glow red, every single one of them reacted in alarm, with Android 18 being the first to take charge of the situation. "Shit. SCATTER!" She then flew off to the right, whereas the other two flew off in the opposite direction. However, even when presenting the thing with multiple targets, it still didn't do a damn thing.

Snarling loudly, the creature fired yet another invisible blast of wind from its body that collided with all three of them and smacked them out of the sky. While Android 17 went crash landing into the ocean near the battleships, Krillin made landfall on the beach and Android 18 spun into the forest, where she disappeared behind a blast of dust and debris. When the smoke eventually settled from their respective landings, it showed the blonde fighter lying out in the open, covered in various cuts and bruises, and knocked out.

The giant alien quickly turned its attention to the latter, a gurgling sound escaping its throat as its eyes flared and its energy began to gather in front of its beak once more. Photons converging into a single, purple sphere of energy, the creature's ki began to skyrocket as it aimed to wipe out the annoying flies buzzing around it once and for all.

Sensing the incoming danger, Krillin, lying flat out on the beach, looked up in horror with blood trickling over his eye. "NO! EIGHTEEN!"

A loud screech echoing across the countryside, the large sphere the creature had created achieved stability in a matter of seconds. Upon rearing back, it then threw its head forward and fired, only to suddenly catch something small and fast-moving in its peripheral vision.

With a loud crack and a shockwave, the scarf-wearing form of Paprika let out a roar as she decked the massive titan across the face, her knuckles colliding with its shield but nevertheless catching it by surprise. The force of her collision on top of the power behind her punch burying into its barrier caused the enormous behemoth to rotate and shoot the beam across the planet's surface. It continued to fire it as its head was cocked to the side, sending the ridiculously powerful beam traveling in a wide, one-hundred and eighty degree arc.

The beam was in fact so powerful that not only did it shoot well outside of earth's orbit; it blasted clear across the solar system and to the side due to the manner it'd been fired. The result was the thick purple beam disintegrating an entire part of the asteroid belt looping around the region of space and cutting straight through Saturn, slicing it in half. When the two halves of the planet separated, they then exploded in a glorious, fiery blast that could be seen from earth itself.

When the attack eventually ceased and the creature floated to a stop, it gave an irritable huff and turned to face its attacker. It quickly spotted them standing atop a plateau a full kilometer away, positioned with her arms crossed, head held high and scarf bellowing on the wind.

Paprika smirked when the enormous beast turned to face her, "Glad I got your attention… you big dumb squid."
