Equestrian Friends Dragon Era
Shadow Crystal Clan Saga! Episode six: The Power of Speed and Strength, Wind Striker and Phoenix Strike!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Goku and Raditz walked out of the front door of canterlot high they sigh from the day they just had. Goku tried from the learning and the fact that he has to follow a schedule now to Raditz who was just bored and knew little to nothing about human history or human beliefs or ideals.
As the two saiyans meet up at the horse statue in the front of the school they sighed. Kids around them stare at them and more stay away as a group of girls walk out, Applejack being first as Rainbow was second, behind those two were Rarity, pinkie and finally fluttershy. As the group of friends walk out and see Raditz and Goku standing outside they stay quiet as Applejack looks at everyone and then at the two saiyans.
Rainbow looked at Applejack as Rainbow sighed. “They are not going to be a good influence for you. You shouldn’t even be looking at them.” Rainbow said as Applejack rolled her eyes.
“Applesauce they are kind people. Though they are a bit animalistic they still show kindness to me and would to yall.” Applejack said as Fluttershy looked away from the two saiyans.
“Darling I must say you are awfully putting up a fight to defend their um names. What would happen when they hurt you?” Rarity asked as Applejack scoffed
“They won’t hurt me and I can prove it. Just come with us and you will see!” Applejack said as the Rarity and Rainbow sighed.
“But please Applejack tell me why would you even hang out with them? Is it their strength? Is it their minds? Or their eyes! Oh oh or is it that Raditz guy? Is it him? Is it!” Pinkie asked as Applejack rolled her eyes and started to walk to the two saiyans.
As Goku and Raditz were talking about how boring today was, Applejack got closer and Raditz stopped the conversation and turned to Applejack. “Hey Applejack how was your school day. Me and Kakarot were talking about how boring it felt.
Applejack sighed a bit as she turned to her friends and saw Rainbow and Pinkie walking off and Rarity walking away by herself but then she noticed Fluttershy. Fluttershy stood at the steps like a statue. She didn’t move, she didn’t even blink, she seemed to be afraid.
As Applejack turned back to Raditz and Goku she put a finger up. “I will be back in just a split.” Applejack said as she ran toward Fluttershy and left Raditz and Goku confused. As the two saiyans watched, Radtiz shrugged at Goku and watched what applejack was doing
.
Applejack walked to Fluttershy as she got closer trying not to scare her. “Hey sugarcube ya doing alright?” Applejack asked as Fluttershy nodded. “Ya doing anything right now?” Applejack asked as Fluttershy shook her head no.
As Applejack thought for a second she found a calm way to ask Fluttershy if she wanted to hangout. “Do ya want to walk beside me and those two?” Applejack asked as Fluttershy looked at Applejack and hesitantly nodded
As Applejack and Fluttershy walked back to the two saiyans, Goku and Raditz watched as Applejack and Fluttershy got to them. “Hey guys this is my friend Fluttershy.” Applejack said as Fluttershy didn’t look up and stayed quiet.
As Raditz and Goku watched Applejack had grinned as she elbowed Fluttershy softly as she “eep” softly and nodded. As Raditz and Goku kept waiting Fluttershy quietly said, “h-h-h-h-hel-llo.”
Goku smiled and put his hand out for her to shake. “Hi I am Goku! Nice to meet you Fluttershy. I am assuming since you are friends with Applejack you are a great person too.” Goku said as Fluttershy saw his hand and freaked out a bit as she stepped back.
“Oh sorry Fluttershy. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Goku said as he put his hand down and bowed in respect as he waited a second and then stood tall again.
“Well it’s nice to meet you Fluttershy. But me and Applejack must get going, I did promise here to get her stronger.” Raditz said as he had his arms crossed and wasn’t even facing the three.
“Wait stronger? What does he mean stronger?” Fluttershy asked to Applejack who was right in frount of her.
Applejack smiled at Fluttershy as she chuckled, “well ya see Raditz here promised to help me train most days of the week and weekends. In return I have to get Granny Smith to give them large lunches.” Applejack said as Fluttershy looked a bit confused
“Wait doesn’t Granny Smith already like giving that out for free?” Fluttershy asked as Applejack quickly put her hand over Fluttershys mouth and shushed her.
“Not sure if Raditz knows that already or not but if he doesn’t it kinda helps me alright?” Applejack said as Fluttershy nodded.
As the group started to talk to one another Sunset Shimmer noticed from a distance the two brothers still had a friendship growing. Now the shy one was metaling on her plans.
As Sunset walked down the stairs she heard a familiar voice, “hey sunset over here!” Flash called out to Sunset, as quickly sunset turned to the voice her smile disappeared as Sunset saw Mag among the group.
Mag stared at Sunset with a fake smile only truly poker players could identify its fake. As Sunset walked over to the crew of students Sunset waved at everyone and put her best smile on.
“So sunset how was your first day?” Flash asked her as Sunset looked at the group and smiled setting her backpack down.
“It was… well in reality it was a intresting event. I knew most of the subjects and even the AP science was easy. All except pe and lunch.” Sunset said as she shivered from the lunch accident.
“Yeah speaking of lunch why did you throw up? Did you never eat meat before?” Mag asked as Sunset looked at her and shook her head.
Flash gasped as the boy with long hair was shocked and the boy with blue hair nodded. “Hey don’t sweat it, I am vegan too.” Said the boy with blue hair.
Sunset rubbed her arm and looked at the ground as if she did something wrong. As she looked around she then went back to the group. “Hey I heard of a dance coming up what’s up about that?” Sunset asked as she looked at them
“Oh the harmony dance. Well it’s mostly like a day of independence but instead of celebrating our freedom we are celebrating the peace treaty that Equestrion and Zebron made to end the war before nuclear fallout could happen.” The boy with blue hair explained as Flash nodded.
“You do know about Harmony day right? Back where your from you guys were taught the great travesty that could have hit us?” Mag as sunset as Sunset mentally kicked herself.
“W-well you see my parents were religious! Yeah they believed in the sun god and moon god. Stuff like that and in my home town they were actually against war so no. I didn’t even know the civil war happened until a few months ago.” Sunset asked as the group listened
“Hey what is your towns name anyway it sounds like a place I went too before.” The long haired boy asked as Sunset shimmer thought of something.
“Equality town?” Sunset said as Flash and the others looked in confusion. Mag coughed and as the other guys turned they saw she had her phone out and pointed to it.
The guys nodded and quickly took out their phones and started to look it up. Sunset started to sweat as she didn’t know what to say or do if they didn’t find it. As Flash was the first to look up from his phone he stared at Sunset. “Sunset… how could you not have told us?” Flash asked as Sunset started to worry
“I am so sorry I don’t know what to say you wouldn’t believe me if I said somethi-“ Sunset started as Flash stopped her with a hug.
“I am so sorry for you Sunset. If I would have known you lived in one of Equestrion’s biggest cults than I would have been more helpfuller than before.” Flash said as Sunset was a bit confused but then slowly hugged Flash back.
As the other guys seemed to look sad for Sunset Mag looked at her phone. “So if you are really from the town tell me what’s the cults leader?” Mag asked as Sunset looked in shock.
“MAG! That’s so insensitive!” Flash said to Mag as she looked shocked at Flash and confused at his actions.
“What do you mean insensitive it’s just a question! If she is really from that town she would know the leader.” Mag said as Flash and the other guys shook their heads and then put their attention to Sunset who started to fake tears.
As sunset started to fake her crying Mag rolled her eyes and looked away from the group and instead saw something that made her shake behind her glasses. “U-um guys? We may have a problem!” Mag said as everyone turned to look at what she was talking about and then saw it. Two men were at the nearby bus stop as they cross the street. They wore black senior jackets and a red shirt with misty blue eyes symbols on it. Blue ripped pants. Fingerless gloves and finally black boots. Ones skin tone was red as the other was yellow. The red senior had red orange and yellow spiked up hair as it looked like a Phoenix. The yellow senior wore a calmer look but still deadly, long and ragged all around but it all layed behind him. On their back had their names, Phoenix the one with red orange and yellow hair and Wind Striker was on the back of the kid with long hair. Though it was hard to see it at first it was still visible to many
“Shadow crystals? What are they doing here?” One teen asked as they walked passed them as Phoenix growled at them and stepped at them scaring the two kids.
“Phoenix calm yourself we got one objective…” Wind Striker said as they saw the two targets they had. “There they are… and they don’t seem to be worried of anything at all… let’s go show them something to worry about.” Wind Striker said as Phoenix giggled crazily and nodded
As they started to walk to the two everyone at the school watch in worry or in horror as the two shadow crystal members walked to Raditz, Goku, Fluttershy, and Applejack. “H-hey Someone should warm them!” Flash said to his crew as his friends seemed a bit worried to even breath at their detection and then he felt a hand grab his arm. As he turned around he saw Mag.
“If you do you could get beaten to a worst pulp then before, not only that but not many people are on their side so far. All I heard from others is that they are bad people, we shouldn’t get near.” Mag said as Flash was about to say something but Sunset stopped him.
“N-no Wait! She is right you could get hurt and plus they seem strong enough to hold their own. Let’s just watch.” Sunset said as Flash looked at her and nodded. As sunset turned around she couldn’t help but smirk a bit. “Finally, maybe these two freaks can get rid of the two brothers in my plan. I don’t need no weird monkeys in my plan for controlment.” Sunset thought as she watched the two seniors get closer.
It seemed slowly the two seniors made the students around them move away from them in fear or just respect. As Fluttershy was the first of the group to notice the seniors the little Freshman squeaked as she tugged at Applejacks backpack fast.
As Applejack felt the tugging she turned to Fluttershy and looked confused at first, upon seeing her friend point away Applejack followed and saw the two boys walking their way. “G-guys. We should move. Like now.” Applejack said as Raditz and Goku seemed confused.
“Um sure, where do you want to go?” Raditz asked as Goku sensed something behind him. It felt cold, and dark. As if a demon was behind him. Hesitantly Goku turned around to see the two men walking his way.
Goku turned around his body and got into his deep horse stance and looked serious. As Raditz noticed this he looked at Goku and then at the direction Goku was looking at and saw the two boys stopping only a few feet away. “Excuse me can we help you?” Raditz asked as he didn’t sound too interested at all.
Goku had looked at the two boys and then at his brother, “Raditz something’s not right, there is something within them that feels cold and… dark. They aren't here for good intentions… look around they have the school in a scare.” Goku explained as Raditz finally looked around and saw everyone staring at the six who were inside the circle.
“Good good, you are a very prospective young boy. What may your name be so I may remember it.” Wind striker asked as Goku just stared silently. “Hmm that not very nice… didn’t your old man teach you manners?” Wind Striker asked as Goku and Raditz stayed quiet.
“What do you want we don’t have a lot of time and those two behind us want to go somewhere else…” Raditz said as he crossed his arms and pointed behind him to Applejack and Fluttershy.
“W-what do we do?” Fluttershy asked as Applejack looked at Goku and Raditz and then to Fluttershy. “A-a-Applejack! What do we do!” Fluttershy asked again a bit more force in her voice as she trembled within Applejacks arms.
“Fluttershy. Go get Rainbow… I think she is willing to help even in this situation we got ourselves here. I will stay with Raditz and Goku. To make sure things stay calm. Or try.” Applejack said as Fluttershy looked at Applejack in confusion and fear.
“Applejack I- I can't just Leav-“ Fluttershy started until Applejack turned her head to Fluttershy.
“Just get Gon and hurry. I doubt these shadow crystals want to have a nice picnic!” Applejack demanded at Fluttershy as she closed her eyes and ran away. As Applejack turned around to the four and thought to herself, “God speed flutters god speed.”
As Goku and Raditz stayed quiet, as Phoenix stepped up. “You see we saw your video a few hours ago and now we want to put you in your place.” Phoenix explained with a bit of crazy within his tone.
“Put us in our places? What you mean like beat us down and make us suffer?” Raditz asked as Goku looked at Raditz wanting him to quiet down before a fight happened in front of the school near all these innocent lives. These two seemed willing to hurt or destroy anyone in their path.
“Pardon my friend I don’t think he explained right, we are here to make you two know you placement under Sombra.” Wind Striker said as he took off his senior jacket and put it on the top of the statues base.
Phoenix didn’t take his off as he just stared at Raditz with malicious intent. “Um I got a question? Who’s this Sombra guy I actually never heard of him.” Goku spoke as Wind Striker heard this and turned to Goku.
With a grit of his teeth and a soften growl Wind Stiker composed himself and smirked, “You don’t know who the great Sombra is? You are either new to this whole town and that city nearby or you been hit on the head a few times.” Wind Striker said
“Why does everyone make that comment?” Goku asked out loud as Raditz slapped his face and sighed. “Well no we don’t know who this Sombra guy is but I will give you an easy way out of this. Leave these kids and the school alone, stop your path of pain and change for the better. This is your warning.” Goku said as Raditz looked at Goku and scoffed but nodded with him since this place was okay enough. Though Raditz wouldn’t say that out in the open.
“Is he actually bein' serious? He wants t' fight the Shadow Crystal clan? He must be extremely brave or a lunkhead”Thought Applejack as she didn't know what to do. She didn’t want to get too close to Rsditz and Goku since at any second the four could start the fight and it would spell doom for her. But she didn’t want to be hopeless in the sidelines either.
As Raditz stared at Phoenix and Goku stared at Wind Striker the place flew silent until a small chuckle and then a booming laughter rang around the place as Phoenix seemed to have trouble holding it in. “You think we are going to listen to some goody two shoes with a orange jump suit and crazy hair? Come on you can’t be that dumb.” Phoenix said as he looked at Raditz and Goku.
“No he isn’t kidding but he isn’t kidding about the warning either. You two best be walking back or else you will wake up in a hospital…” Raditz threatened as he cracked his knuckles.
Wind Striker got into a offensive fighting stance, both feet were angled slightly to his side, his knees faced in the same direction of the feet. The rear heel was raised with the weight placed on the ball of the foot. “Well we are here for a fight if you like it or not. We will show you your rightful place below Sombra and the Shadow Crystals!” Wind Striker shouted as Phoenix laughed and got into his fighting stance it seemed
He moved his foot to the side as he was leaning back on his other foot and then put both arms up but not in a defensive pose but a offensive pose too, his stance was leaving him open. “Fine let’s fight but when you lose tell your Sombra to come fight us himself.” Raditz said as he waited for Phoenix to charge him.
As Applejack watched in worry the kids around held their breaths as the battle was started by Wind Striker taking a step and then in a blink of an eye he punched Goku’s stomach knocking him back. “What the-!” Goku said as Wind Striker started to go punch after punch. His hits were planned. Though he looked as if he was throwing random punches he had planned attacks and moves. He hit Goku in any opening he had as they were pushed away from Raditz and Phoenix.
As Raditz realized the Phoenix was in front of him still ready to fight and he looked away from his opponents Raditz felt a foot to the face. Knocking him back Phoenix laughed and shouted, “Don’t worry much about your brother you got a problem of your own!” Raditz started to get pushed away as Raditz had to think of a plan. Phoenix would jump around and mostly kick but put some punches within his attacks making it hard to read his next attack.
As Goku tried to block the punches it was to no avail as Wind Strikers hits were so fast it seemed as the wind itself was hitting Goku. As the punches kept going and going Goku thought of a plan. As Wind Striker threw a punch instead of trying to block it or grab his hand Goku took the punch! “Hm? What is wrong with you I know you can fight. So fight already or else you will bore me too fast.” Wind Striker said as he kept throwing punches. As Wind Striker threw another punch Goku grabbed it as he looked at Wind Striker with a smile and chuckled.
Raditz got kicked in the knee as it brought Raditz to one knee. Then Raditz felt a kick to his head behind him. Seeing the world move slowly for a second Raditz started to think for anything to help with the fight. Then a memory kicked in as he remembered a past event. “Come on Raditz! Show us that amazing power you always mention you have!” A saiyan teen shouted at a kid Raditz as he punched the kid Raditz in the face and his two friends laughed next to the bully. Kid Raditz stared at the saiyan boy with hate as he tried to punch the bully back. As he threw the punch the Saiyan bully grabbed it and slowly started to twist it. “Okay now this is just sad, his father must be so disappointed in his first blood being so damn weak.” The saiyan bully said as another one joined in.
“It makes me sick just seeing this Saiyan act all tough and then has no bite. You low class warriors will never own up to anything, your just waste of everyone’s time.” The bully’s friend said as kid Raditz got angry.
“NO! YOUR WRONG! Us low class warriors are going to be on the top one day. You’ll see! And when we are you will rue the da- ACK!” Kid Raditz started as the bully punched his face again.
Footsteps came from behind the three bully saiyans as they cheered on for the bully to keep beating Raditz face in. As they cheered, the third saiyan felt a hand grab his hair and pull back his head as a energy blast was shoved into his face and exploded.
The other two looked shocked as the body was thrown back only for the one holding Raditz to get kicked in the face. A kid Turles stood there looking at the other saiyan. “I suggest if you don’t want your face to look as ugly as this bastard behind me. Get lost or face my power…” Turles said as the last saiyan took off for the hills leaving the unconscious saiyan and the first bully behind.
As the first bully of the group attacked Turles, Turles stepped back from the punches and kicks as they missed by only a second. As the first bully punched at kid Turles dodged out of the way and the first bully hit a wall as a crack was heard. “AHH! m-my hand! It’s broken!” The first bully shouted as Turles sighed and kept his tough guys posture.
“Now go and don’t let us low class warriors show you this same lesson again…” Kid Turles said as the first bully looked scared at Turles who had just made a energy ball again and aimed at the kid, kid Raditz was able to notice Turtles hand shake in fear as the bully nodded. Soon running away with his tail tucked between his legs.
As the saiyan left Turles let out a bigger sigh as he grabbed his hand and stopped it shaking. “Damn… too close. Raditz what the hell are you even doing here you know the saiyans here are way stronger than us! I just got lucky!” Turles shouted at Raditz who helped him up on his feet again.
“Shut up and help me get out of here… and don’t tell my mother or father. I don’t need mother to worry for me and I don’t need father to be even more disappointed…” kid Raditz said as Turles put Raditz arm around him and helped him walk away from the last fight scene.
“Why… am I remember that now?” Raditz asked himself as the memory ended slowly. Raditz soon came back to the real world seeing a kick about to hit him. “Wait! Turles dodged that saiyans attacks! I don’t remember what he did exactly but I know how to start it.” Raditz thought as he remembered another memory.
“Well what I do is that I spread my energy around enough to feel the energy bounce off of my enemy. Then I do my moves as I see best fitting.” Kid Turles said as the memory ended.
“I-I got to spread my energy!” Raditz thought as he charged his energy up and yelled as his energy exploded from him pushing Phoenix back and letting Raditz get to his feet again. “Got it! I can feel my energy bouncing off of him! Turles you smart son of an oozaru if you and I ever meet again I got to thank you!” Raditz thought as he got ready for the next attack from Phoenix
Applejack stood stunned from the wave of air and pressure that Raditz just threw out of his body. She was even more shocked that Wind Striker punch wasn’t grabbed by Goku. No ones been able to do that not even Rainbow! “What the hay are these two?” Applejack quietly asked as Raditz and Goku both seemed to be ready.
As Wind Striker was shocked that for once in a very very long time someone had been fast enough to grab his arm! Not only that but the last punches haven’t knocked Goku down yet. “Unhand me you savage!” Wind Striker yelled as he threw another punch at Goku but instead of it hitting Goku, Goku just sucked under his punch and went under his wrist and behind him as he pushed up! Getting Wind Striker into an arm lock. As Wind Striker felt the pain from the arm lock he threw an elbow back as Goku lifted his arm up, blocking it. Goku then used his elbow from the arm he just blocked with to hit Wind Striker in the back of the head. As Wind Striker stumbled ahead he turned around and got ready to beat Goku's face in.
Goku looked at Wind Striker with a Smirk asWind Striker was able to punch Goku a bit but Goku yet again grabbed his punch and received a punch, Goku kept punching Wind Striker using the same technique as Goku punched Wind Striker up as he jumps up and kicked Wind Striker down. As Wind Striker gets up and shakes his head he turns to Goku as he looks confused, “How? How can you be doing this!” Wind Striker asked as Goku smiled.
“Your moves became predictable. You always went chest, gut, face, side and then back of the head. You always kept the same punches and kicks. NOW IT'S MY TURN!” Goku shouted as he charged at Wind Striker and though Wind Striker was fast enough to block the first hits he didn't see Goku’s sweep the legs move as he was tripped. Goku was beaten Wind Striker down but being a bit softer as he didnt want to kill or destroy the senior.
Raditz was able to grab the incoming kick from Phoenix as Raditz smirked and pushed Phoenix back as he took the opening that Phoenix had as an advantage and started to attack. Raditz did heavy punches as he knew his muscle was a bit stronger than anything else he had. “What's wrong? You're not laughing anymore?” Radtiz taunted as he threw one last punch at Phoenix pushing his enemy back and making him roll backwards.
Phoenix was shocked at this power as his shock turned to a sly smile. It seemed that Phoenix was getting ready. “Finally a opponent i wont have to worry about accidentally killing let that ego of yours blind you… i will wait!” Phoenix thought as he got back onto his feet and stared at the saiyan. He then looked at Wind Striker who seemed to get up and get ready for a counter attack. “It seems that that kid over there fighting Wind Striker is a lot less egotistic, sadly for Wind Striker he will have a tough time… as for me. I may be able to use his ego against him…” Phoenix thought as he saw Raditz smirk. “W-Wait! I held! I held! I now know you powerful strength! You are truly the greater warrior here!” Phoenix yelled as he got on his knees and started to beg for his life.
As Raditz stared in confusion at first he then smiled, “Ah yes finally the truth spills out, go on tell me more while I beat your face in.” Raditz said as Phoenix waited for him to get closer and lower his guard.
“I am so sorry I should have known your power when I set eyes on you please forgive me!” Phoenix shouted as Raditz got close enough to be in arms length. Raditz grabbed him and pulled him up as he was about to punch Phoenix. This was his moment.
Before Raditz could punch the kid Phoenix used Raditz chest to step on it and kick Raditz on the mouth. As Raditz got stunned for a second he looked up and revived a punch to the gut. “Agh! Damn you!” Raditz shouted as he tried to punch Phoenix but the senior dodged and grabbed Raditz’s arm and then proceeded to throw him over his sholder.
Raditz rolled a bit as he got up and revived a knee to the side of the head. As Raditz was now being beaten Phoenix kept attacking with no mercy.
Goku was able to keep Wind Striker on the defense as he punched and kicked at random parts of his body. As Goku threw a punch Wind Striker threw a punch at Goku's punch and they made contact pushing both the fighters back. “You're a good fighter! I was hoping if this world had other fighters!” Goku said excitedly as he charged at Wind Striker
“World? You sound like your not even from this planet. You are a weird one.” Wind Striker said a Goku and him made contact with one another’s knee. Goku planted his hand on Wind Strikers chest and pushed him back.
“What the hell do I do! This kid is tough and smart at fighting. There must be something… WAIT! His kindness! That’s his weakness!” Wind Striker thought as he saw Applejack watching Raditz’s fight as she wanted to help but was worried she will only get in the way. “Bingo.” Wind Striker thought as he rolled on his feet and ran to Goku at incrediable speeds and then kicked off his chest pushing Goku down.
As Wind Striker landed again he ran to Applejack and put her into a arm lock. Though Applejack was strong Wind Striker had more strength. As Goku saw this he was about to run to them but stopped seeing the new situation “Hey let me go! this isn’t fair you're cheating!” Applejack shouted as a Wind Striker pulled Applejack's arm up.
As Raditz stopped a punch he heard Applejack shout and turned around. “H-hey! Leave her out of thi- Ack!” Raditz shouted as Phoenix kicked his back where his tail was wrapped.
Phoenix started to kick the downed Raditz, Goku looked at the two people and thought. Before Goku could do anything Wind Striker spoke, “ah, ah, ah. Take one step to us or them and I break this apple’s little arm…” Wind Striker said to Goku as Goku remembered when the Demon King put him in the same situation.
Goku didn’t move as Raditz had grabbed Phoenix’s leg and pulled it, making him fall down. Raditz quickly got up and was angry. “You Two jackasses better leave now or I am going to obliterate you both!”Raditz threatens as Goku feels his energy rise up.
“Raditz! No don’t do it just wait a second I can figure something out” Goku said as Raditz turned to Goku with anger and still was charging his energy blast.
Applejack looked at Raditz she spoke, “Raditz I fine jus' kick their butts! ifin' he breaks my arm I can git it fixed!” Applejack shouted as Wind Striker pushed higher on Applejack's arm.
“Shut it! I don’t need to hear some heroic bullshit, these two need to listen to me or they will see how dangerous we truly are!” Wind Striker said as he put his other arm around her neck threatening to choke her in a headlock.
“ Hey this fight didn’t involve her, let her go! It was you and me! Where’s your honor!” Goku asked as Raditz calmed himself down and focused on ways to get Applejack out. Until he felt a punch to the jaw.
“Honor? Fairness? You want that in a fight? Dream on! We aren’t in a tournament we are in real life! Now, Raditz was it? Do be a friend and don’t fight back against Phoenix or else little cowgirl here will yee her last Haa.” Wind Striker said as Raditz didn’t want to listen but then sighed and looked at Phoenix who was staring down at him.
“You both are weak, without a leverage you couldn’t have won! How sad. I can’t believe that this worlds fighters have such low standards…” Raditz said as he left the first punch hit his face.
As Applejack struggled from Wind Striker she panicked as she wanted Phoenix to stop. “Now you what’s your name? I must know it so I can give it to Sombra…” Wind Striker said as Goku seemed to anger slowly.
“My name is Son Goku… now let her go.” Goku said as Wind Striker shook his head. He forced Applejack to one knee as he kept looking at Goku.
“Not yet Son Goku, I must say you were a great fighter but before I have Phoenix beat you down I must ask. Would you like to join us? We could use a strong warrior like you. You just have to do everything Sombra says.” Wind Striker said as he waited for Goku to answer
In a heartbeat Goku shook his head, “no I will never join such an evil group of people. You hurt people who aren’t even in your list to hurt and you laugh at it as if it’s a joke.” Goku said as Wind Striker sighed and nodded
“That’s what I thought you would say. Welp we can’t say we didn’t try. Hey Phoenix when your done with that idiot do the same to this one!” Wind Striker said as Phoenix held Raditz by his shirt and nodded. Raditz was bleeding from his mouth and nose as his face.
“You see Son Goku, this world is unforgiving, you mess up once the world hates you so when the world is tough you need to get tougher. That is why we won here today and that will be why we will always win.” Wind Striker said as Goku growled a bit.
“If you guys truly believe that then you're dumber than I thought you were! My grandpa took me under his wing. He raised me and protected me, taught me how to fight. I lost my two parents a long time ago and I can’t even remember them and even now as many students treat me poorly I know to always respect people and show them kindness. If it wasn’t for my Grandpa Gohan I wouldn’t be the man I am today!” Goku said as Raditz listened, feeling a bit saddened at those statements . As Applejack heard this story she thought it couldn’t be real but after reading Goku's expression she realized he spoke the truth
As Wind Striker stared at Goku he laughed, “and let me guess, because of his kindness your Grandpa is dead isn’t he?”
Goku's expression become nothing but rage as his hair rose and his energy sky rocketed, and though Raditz can’t see it on a scouter he could feel it coming from Goku. Before he could charge at Wind Striker a kick to the face hit him away from Applejack as a cyan person with Rainbow hair stood between her friend and the Shadow crystal fighter. As Phoenix turned to see the commotion Raditz took his arm and twisted it as Phoenix had to let go of his shirt and struggle not to break his hand.
As Raditz saw Goku getting angrier and walking toward Wind Striker he had to think of a way to calm his little brother down before he killed someone. Raditz quickly threw Phoenix aside and ran toward Goku. As Raditz got to Goku he got between him and Goku. “H-hey! Kakarot calm yourself! You need to control this beast now! Kakarot!” Raditz tried to get to Goku but it didn’t seem to work. Raditz looked around and then thought of something. As Raditz stepped in front of Goku again he grabbed Goku's hand and put it on his hand as if it was a high five. “Goku… please I know you're in there, I also know you can control this power! Look I know I'm not the best brother but when push comes to shove, I will now have your back… so please snap out of this.” Raditz said as Goku stopped and looked at the hand. As Goku remembered his parents for the first time in years Goku remembered his parents. Though he didn’t know their names he saw two faces. A woman with short hair and a caring expression and a man that looks exactly like Goku but with a scar. This memory was the last time Goku ever saw his parents as they launched him to earth. Though he never remembered much about them Goku knew it was his mother and father by the emotions he was feeling. Goku had one tear drop down and his emotions slowly recollected themselves. As Raditz sighed and turned to the two kids. “Kaka- Gok-… hey, we need to finish this fight… come on.” Raditz said to Goku as Goku looked at the ground and nodded.
Raditz turned to Phoenix and saw that he was tired and battled Worn. “Good grief your still standing? Damn…” Raditz started as he was tired from the fight but then felt someone tap his sholder.
As Radtiz turned his head he saw Applejack, “I think it’s about time I start my training here. He will be my test dummy.” Applejack said as Raditz thought about it
“I don’t know he still is dangerous… maybe if we double team him.” Raditz said as Applejack nodded and they walked to Phoenix who currently was holding his left wrist. “You have fought before right?” Raditz asked as Apllejack nodded
“With my brother we punched and kicked one another till we cried like a pig. It’s more or less the same right?” Applejack asked as Raditz nodded as he was now a bit worried for his newest friend.
As Goku was relaxed he soon realized the ikari power he had was still there. Though it was hard to control he realize he could finish this off with the power activated. He then realized what just happened and saw Wind Striker on the ground as he rubbed his right temple. “What the hell was that!” Wind Striker asked as Rainbow walked to Gokus side. .
“Back off kid his mine.“ Rainbow said as Goku walked to Wind Striker ignoring her completely. As Goku got to Wind Striker his expression was angry but he seemed to be in control of his rage for a bit as he got to Wind Striker
“I won’t let my anger control me” Goku said as Wind Striker was confused and a bit scared but he didn’t show it
“What?” Wind Striker asked as Goku kicked Wind Striker to the side and the force of the kick made Wind Striker roll toward the statue that was in the middle of this whole fight. Goku slowly walked to Wind Striker. “So I must have struck a nerve. No matter, I am faster than you. And I am stronger than you too.” Wind Striker said as he pushed off the ground and aimed for Goku’s head.
As he punched Goku he didn’t even seem to react to it at all. Goku stared at his enemy and got angrier. Trying to control his anger Goku grabbed Wind Strikers arm and pulled his other arm back for a punch.
Wind Striker looked in shock as Goku punched him so hard it made Wind Striker fly backwards toward the Statue. As he hit the statue it didn’t break but his jacket fell on him as Goku turned around and looked up. The students around cheered at the amazing fight as Goku breathed in and breathed out his hair slowly went down as his eyes turned back to his normal color.
Goku fell on one knee as he started to cough from his body being put through strain and pain. As Rainbow looked in confusion she didn’t say anything to him at first but then walked to his side and put her hand out. “Here… let me help…” Rainbow said begrudgingly.
As Goku looked at the hand he took it as she put his arm around her and they started to walk away. Until they heard something from the statue. Wind Striker got up again as he coughed out blood and looked at Goku. “Where the hell are you going?” Wind Striker asked as he sounded pained but angry.
As Goku and Rainbow look in shock Raditz just revived a kick in the gut as he fell to the ground. As Phoenix put his foot on top of Raditz chest he was about to kick the downed Raditz, before a punch hit his cheek and pushed him off.
Applejack ran toward him as she started to punch at his chest or jaw. Phoenix saw this and started to see a pattern as he was able to dodge the hits and soon kicked Applejack back.
Phoenix looked at Applejack and Raditz as he laughed, “what do you need a girl to win your fights?” Phoenix asked as he ran to Applejack and stomped on her foot and then elbowed her face pushing her back with a bloody nose.
Raditz caught her and gritted his teeth. “Do you need to fight dirty just to win!” Raditz retorted as Phoenix charged at them both now angrier than before. “Applejack take this as a example never let your anger get the better of you in any battle what so ever.” Raditz said as he whispered it into Applejacks ear before pushing her away and blocking the first punch but then reviving a kick to the leg making him uneven and open.
As Applejack hit the ground she quickly recovered as she clenched her hands into fists and got ready but then realized how Raditz stood for the fight. With his dominant hand opened and infront of him as his other was protecting his body by being close to his left side. His feet were in a squat stance as he bended his knees Incase he needed to move out of the way. Applejack copyed Raditz stance and got back into the battle as she was now behind Phoenix and Raditz was now infrount of him still getting kicked and punched.
“Hey numb skull how about ya fight me now!” Applejack said as she got the attention of Phoenix. He rolled his eyes and did a 360 high kick kicking Raditz back and putting him on his back.
“You really want to fight? Hell I don’t think you ever been in a real street fight. But if the lady asked for it SO BE IT!” Phoenix yelled as he was about to punch Applejack.
Applejack put her wrist up and blocked the hit. The tingle she got from the punch got her adrenaline running as she knew this could be life threatening. Applejack started to do beginners blocks she learned from play fighting with her brother but it was no match against this guy.
Phoenix didn’t care what belt his enemy was or how old they were if they got in his they better be prepared to go to the hospital and he was intent to send Applejack to a hospital. He started to speed up as Applejack had struggles to block and dodged the hits but soon he managed to hit her shoulder and chest. She lost her defense and now was receiving a beating.
As Applejack wasn’t able to block all the hits she finally put her arms up as a boxer to stop any major damage to the head. Phoenix was about to do another 360 kick to Applejack but as he jumped and spinned a hand grabbed his leg. “You now pissed me off…” Raditz said as he swept Phoenix’s leg and punched down at Phoenix’s chest punching all the wind out. “Applejack are you fine?” Raditz asked as Applejack remover her last resort defense and had punch marks all on her but she nodded and smiled.
Raditz breathed out of relief as he heard Phoenix cough for air. Raditz turned to Phoenix and was thinking about ending his life but then realized that could blow him and Goku's cover. So instead of beating his enemy down he grabbed him by the shirt and dragged him to the statue and sat him up right. “Take easy breaths and you should breath. Now if you come back here I won’t hesitate to snap your neck you got that.” Raditz said as Wind Striker just flipped him off.
As Raditz rolled his eyes he looked at Applejack who was holding her left arm in pain. “Hey you okay?” Raditz asked as he got close to Applejack wanting to help her in any way.
Applejack looked up and nodded, “It’s jus' mah arm, i think he broke it… I don’t have a tail feather left it with those there last punches.” Applejack said as Raditz nodded
“For your first fight you did extremely better than I thought you would. So feel good on that.” Raditz said as he was breathing hard and looked up toward his brother.
As Goku was on the ground seemingly unconscious Raditz saw Rainbow and Wind Striker fighting. They seemed evenly matched now that Wind Striker was hurt. “Shit they might need our help.” Raditz said as he started to run to Goku.
Applejack turned and saw Rainbow and Wind Striker as she got up and started to walk that way now being tired. “Shers a strong fighter, she can beat 'him!” Applejack thought as she walked closer and closer.
As Flash was watching on the side lines he was now getting angry at this Rainbow though fast and strong was still weaker than Wind Striker, and though Raditz and Applejack beat the other guy. They were both still too tired and hurt. Not only that but Wind Striker is willing to fight anyone that gets close to them and seeing how he beat Goku down and how durable he is. No one dared to help.
Sunset watched as she mentally cursed at Applejack for aiding Raditz in his fight and giving him the win. But now that Wind Striker was still going all out perhaps her plan will still be fixed by these two.
Flash took a step in as he was done just watching. “H-hey what the hell are you doing!” Mag asked as Flash turned around and then at the fight.
“Your not seriously thinking of just sitting back and watch our fellow students get beaten are you?” Flash asked as Mag and the group looked at him with worry. Sunset surprised at his choice to go help.
“B-but why now!” Mag asked as Flash looked at her and looked at the group.
“Because before I thought Goku could handle it with his brother. Then we saw them get back up and they are still losing. I’m throwing my hat into the ring to see if I can Change the odds of winning.” Flash said as he took off his jacket. Before his friends could stop him he ran into the battle holding his jacket.
As Wind Striker punches Rainbow in the gut making her wince in pain and then punched her in the chest Wind Striker yelled “NO MERCY!” As he rose his fist to punch her again but then he saw darkness as Flash wrapped his jacket around Wind Strikers face. Blinding him from the fight.
“NOW!” Flash said as Rainbow took this advantage and started to throw punches. Even though he was blind he started to throw random blocks to stop Rainbows random barrage of punches. Only stopping a few he felt Flash behind him holding the jacket on his head.
“Kakarot get up! Come on! You idiot get the hell up!” Raditz shouted at Goku as Goku was struggling to get up.
“Raditz? Did you beat the other guy?” Goku asked as Raditz nodded. Goku smiled as he looked on at the fight. Rainbow was now tiring as Applejack was getting ready to jump in. Flash revived a elbow in the gut and then was flipped over Wind Striker’s back throwing him at Rainbow and making them both fall upon one another.
Wind Striker took off the jacket and was now angry. Applejack ran in and started to punch Wind Striker with her one good arm but soon was kneed in the gut and thrown to the side. “Raditz… he is coming for us… and he isn’t happy…” Goku said through heavy breaths as Raditz got ready.
As Rainbow and Flash got up Rainbow charged at him first as Flsh charged next. Applejack stayed on the ground now tired. Wind Striker was going to end this fight now. As he waited for Rainbow to get close to him she threw a weak punch as he grabbed her fist. He then grabbed her throat and tripped her pushing Rainbow to the ground now pinned. As Flash got close to Wind Striker he let go of Rainbow and roared at Flash. In a blink of a eye flash was punched so fast that it seemed as if the very air around him punched him back. One punch being at the throat.
Coughing in pain and struggling to breath he tried to attack again only to revive another few punches but this time a bit more deadlier. Two to his throat and one to his gut as Wind Striker was now trying to make Flash gasp for air.
As Flash fell backwards Wind Striker grabbed Flash by the throat and started to choke him. Flash grabbed at Wind Strikers arm and started to struggle. Flash then looked above him and smiled.
As Wind Striker was confused at the sudden grin he looked up seeing Goku and Raditz charging at him for one last punch. A simple punch he could dodge but then he realized something.
As he looked at Flash he saw that the young boy had grabbed his arm and wrapped his legs around it now making it harder to move his arm. “W-Wait!” Wind Striker shouted as Goku and Raditz had completed the charge and managed to punch Wind Striker right in the face.
As Flash let go right when Goku and Raditz made contact Wind Striker was hit back as he now did a back roll a few feet behind him.
Goku and Raditz both fell onto the ground near the group of friends as they looked up. “D-do you think that did it?” Raditz asked as Goku looked up as Flash and the others looked as well.
Wind Striker didn’t move for a second until they saw his finger twitch and then saw him slowly get himself up. “What the hell!” Flash shouted as he and Goku struggled to get up. Raditz followed behind their steps
“Your kidding… how is he still able to get up.” Goku asked as he was now leaning to his right trying to hold himself up.
Raditz grabbed his right arm and leaned to the left to balance himself out as he looked ahead. Wind Striker got up fully and smiled. “Enough… I think this will be enough for now. Goku Raditz. Before me and Phoenix depart from this little battle I must warn you both. Sombra is four times stronger than me… you will feel the shadow crystals wrath soon enough!” Wind Striker shouted as he looked around and saw the principal walking from the front doors and toward the fight.
Raditz stared in confusion as he wasn’t about to let him go. “Hey bastard we arnt done yet! You get your ass back here so I can rip you to shreds!” Raditz said as Wind Striker quickly grabbed his jacket and his friend though he was messed up he still got his friend up and started to limp away. Raditz tried to follow but then fell on the ground again.
Goku watched them leave as the students around cheered at the victory the group had. Rainbow got up and smirked, “yeah and don’t come back!” Rainbow shouted as Applejack saw someone walking toward them.
As the sophomore looked down at the freshman Applejack soon realized who it was. “H-hi big mac…” Applejack started as her older brother stared at her with a upset expression. “I’m in trouble arnt I?” Applejack asked as Big Mac responded with a “eeyup” Rainbow turned around to see the principal and got up starting to try to get away.
Big Mac grabbed his little sister and helped her up as he then walked her toward the school so the nurse may try to fix her up.
One student saw the Principal as more and more realized the principal was here. They all started to panic as the students dispersed from the circle around the statue and Principal Celestia could see the four fighters who were exaughsted and hurt.
“All of you, head to Nurse Redheart and once patched up to my office. If I don’t see any of you you will be suspended. Am I clear?” Celestia asked as Rainbow who was the only one standing crossed her arms and nodded as Flash responded with a yes.
As Rainbow was first to go Goku looked at her and put his hand up, “thanks for the assist. We wouldn’t have won without you.” Goku said as Rainbow turned her head and ignored his comment.
“Ah don’t mind her she is a tough person. Her ego is the size of a mountain. You will get used to it… I guess I will see you guys in either Nurse red hearts room or celestias Office…” flash said as he started to limp toward the school.
Raditz who was laying on the ground stared at Goku as Goku was sitting up. “I guess we should go to Huh?” Goku asked as Raditz waited for Goku to help.
Goku slowly got up and started to limp to the school until he heard something. “Hey Kakarot.” Raditz said as Goku turned around and was expecting a positive comment. “Help me up. I can’t feel my legs…” Raditz said as Goku quickly limped to his brothers side and help him up.
Wind Striker and Phoenix make it back to the city as they stopped at a martial arts school. As they look at the title of the school it reads. “Shadow Crystal Clan”
Wind Striker walks in a bit nervous and freaked out to even tell Sombra they failed. As Phoenix is now quieter and seemed like a wounded puppy.
As they enter the dojo they see many students doing the training as it seems that the class is doing a sparing match as their sensei watched from the side of the mat. Inside they see Sombra as he knees a kids head into the ground. “Good sombra… now take your win.” The sensi said as Sombra looked at the kid and punched him in the face.
As the sensei noticed the second and third best students hurt and beaten he puts his hand up to tell everyone to stop. “Wind Striker… Phoenix… tell me. Did you win or fail?” The sensi asked as Wind Striker looked down and bowed as Phoenix followed suit.
Before they even said anything Sombra already knew the answer and smiled. “Sensei they failed…” Sombra spoke as the Sensei nodded.
As Phoenix and Wind Striker were frozen in fear their Sensei sighed. “Well…good.” Their Sensei said as the two seniors looked confused and looked up.
Sombra didn’t say anything as the Sensei continued, “now that they tasted a your power did they have trouble beating you two?”
Wind Striker nodded as Phoenix spoke up, “yes sir we gave them no mercy and we would have won if their friends didn’t join!” The Sensei and Sombra both seemed intrested.
“Friends?” Sombra asked as his smile turned to a sinister smile as Phoenix and Wind Striker both stood tall as Sombra got up to them.
“If they had trouble beating you two then I should be able to beat them without a problem… and with this boost!” Sombra shouted as he had his energy rise a bit and then lower again. “I will be the strongest fighter in the world.” Sombra finished as the Sensei nodded
“Soon the Shadow Crystal clan will be the strongest martal arts dojo and we will be the best of the best.” The Sensei said as the kids all cheered in unison at the idea of their clan being the strongest.
Sombra turned to his sensei, “so what should we do about those two pest?” Sombra asked his Sensei as the students stepped out of the way and followed their sensei as he walked toward the back of the dojo.
“Let them relish in their “victory.” We will make their lives hell soon enough.” The sensei said as he turned to Sombra
“Yes, Sensei Cobra. I will do as you say…” Sombra said as the other students bow with Sombra.
