//------------------------------// // Chapter 39: Awakened // Story: Saiyan of Equestria // by Boyzilla //------------------------------// EIOSES Saga Chapter 39: Awakened "Me... Ha... Me..." Kira chanted, the familiar blue orb of compressed Ki energy gathered around in the center of her palms. Shining outward blue light that glowed over the surroundings.. Ziek Foreton's horn lit up with magical power, a magical shield came forth, surrounding him at all sides. Once he was surrounded, he said to the young child mockingly. "Your effort is futile, you are weak, you are nothing compared to me, nor your brother. You will forever be in your brother's shadow, as his clone." "Your wrong! Your lying I know you are!" Kira shot back. The Kamehameha wave in her hands grew in size, just barely being held together between her two hands. She thrust her arms forward, aiming right at the center of Ziek's shield. "Ha!" *KAVOOM* A giant wave of blue Ki energy came rushing forward, blasting through tile and rubble like tissue paper. As the wave came at him, the ground beneath it cracked under and became a line of craters. The light from the attack shone throughout the entire building, and finally, it made contact with the shield. The wave pressured itself on the shield, soon it enveloped the magical barrier completely, the destructive Ki energy coming from all sides. The shield however, stood strong against the powerful attack. Kira kept using the Kamehameha wave, a continuous amount of Ki reinforcing the technique in a effort to break Ziek's barrier. The barrier angered her, she reached into the center of her body and pulled out a large portion of Ki energy and yelled. "HA!" The wave got large from her hands, and the pressure against the shield increased three-fold. It simmered, then cracked, and finally the shield collapsed from the Kamehameha wave. The technique completely engulfed the space where the barrier used to occupy. Kira stopped her technique and cheered. "Yatta! That showed him!" She jumped in the air, shooting her fist into the air. "Yes, yes, congratulations for your first 'hit' on me." The dark voice of Ziek replied. "Huh? How did you-" "Escape?" Ziek interrupted Kira, "Teleportation little human, such a simple spell to escape your straightforward technique." Kira spun, lifting her right leg to hit the diabolical scientist. Only to lose balance as the unicorn tripped her by using telekinesis on her left leg, however the young girl landed her hand on the tile floor and used her other hand to fire a Ki blast right at Ziek's face. The unicorn tilted his head, avoiding the blast. Ziek conjured fire ball at Kira, which she replied by throwing her arms over her face and chest protecting herself from getting injured. The fire ball caused Kira to be thrown back two meters. Her back scraping across the ground until the inertia of the spell ended. She sat up, rubbing her back from being a bit burnt. Ziek suddenly appeared behind her, ready to smash his magic enhanced hooves onto Kira's slightly burnt back. However he underestimated the young hybrid's recovery time and soon found his face being slapped with a whip-like tail that strung to the high clouds of Cloudsdale. The evil scientist stumbled back, and glared at the Kira. "I forgotten about that tail of yours, it won't happen again." Kira didn't give the scientist the time to counter, instantly she was on him with a variety of martial art skills. She shot out her right leg, slamming it into the left foreleg of Ziek, then she brought forward her left closed palm. Kira thrust her fist forward, smashing it against the face of Ziek's malicious ugliness. Bringing her leg down to the ground, Kira stood with firmness. The female saiyan put her hands in front of her, her palms wide open before two Ki blast erupted from them and shot right at Ziek's chest region. The Ki blast exploded, sending the EIOSES leader across the tile flooring. "Try teleporting out of that!" Kira mocked him. Ziek stood upright, a few bruises and small burnt marks on his fur coat. His horn lit up, before the damages dealt by Kira slowly healed until they were gone completely. This caused Kira to instantly cry out in complete unfairness. "No fair! Healing is cheating!" She complained. "Well, I'm not what you may call, honorable." Ziek replied, grinning. The evil EIOSES leader's face suddenly turned into a malicious smile. "Play time is over, I believe it is time for you to come with me. Be a good human and give up, we wouldn't want you too injured now would we?" "You can forget it!" Kira replied in anger. "I won't ever go with you, and neither will Ken!" "I see you aren't going to be cooperative, no matter, you have no choice." Ziek got into a fighting position, his horn lit up with magic. 'I need more power... I know, I'll one of Ken's moves!' Kira brought her arms together, before flinging them to her sides yelling a single word. "Kaio-ken!" A red aura burst into existence as Kira felt her power level skyrocket to a higher level. She slammed her back foot to the ground, before leaping forward at the Ziek with lightning fast speeds, the flames of the aura scattering about around her. In a instant, Kira appeared in front of Ziek's form, bashing his head with the elbow of her right arm, sending the scientist flying across the room, through the wall, and into the next room. Kira smiled at her work, before her face turned into one of pain, her body never trained in the arts of Kaio-ken. The backlash of the technique struck her and she felt her muscles begging her to take a break. Seeing how Ziek was knocked into the other room, Kira decided it is best to relax just a bit to recover. Meanwhile, on the other side of the magical barrier, the Mane six, Lyra, and Princess Luna, fought against the mutated draconic monstrosities with all their might. Lyra Heartstrings jumped back just in time to avoid a injury from the claw of the monster. The mutant roared in fury at its agile prey and charged at Lyra in a attempt to kill and devour. The Twin's mother charged her magical power and launched a stun ray at the mutant, but it proved for naught due to the magical resistance of the monster's skin. The draconic creature slashed its claw across the hair toward Lyra's form, Lyra quickly teleported behind it, and gave it a hard buck. The creature stumbled forward before turning around to face Lyra again. The twins' mother used her telekinesis to lift a large stone tile from the flooring, and smashed it right up the creature's chin. The creature fell backward onto the floor, dazed. Gather a large amount of her magical energy, Lyra formed a quite formidable arcane blast and with the spell, oblivated the mutant dragon. She then collapsed to her knees, breathing heavily from the excessive use of magic just recently. Twilight Sparkle appeared at Lyra's side. "You alright Lyra?" She asked in concern. "I'm fine... Just... Used to much magic." Lyra answered in between breaths. "No offense Lyra... But you seem to be more tired then the rest of us." Twilight said. Princess Luna, after smashing the skull of a mutant with a strong magical blast, answered. "It's because of the Elements, they are giving you a boost as you wear them. Your body is essentially stronger as you wear them." Lyra pouted a bit. "That's a bit unfair." Twilight giggled a bit. "You have human children, who both grow higher in power on a daily basis, who seem to have potential of Alicorns and abilities unseen. And you call this unfair." Lyra giggled at the irony, followed by Luna as well. "Blarg!" The sound of a dying mutant ended with Rainbow Dash delivering the final blow. "Well, now that the last of these things are down and out. How are we going to help Kira!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everypony looked toward the magical barrier separating them from the other two beings, dishing it out on the opposite side. They saw has Kira had a red aura around her and kicked the EIOSES leader straight out of the room. "That's my girl!" Lyra cheered for her daughter. Princess Luna's eyes focused on the magical barrier extensive, before sighing at what she finally knew it was. The Alicorn turned to her other friends. "It's a Alicorn barrier, I can disable it but... It'll take a while... The little human is on her own till then." "Kira! Kira can you hear me!" Lyra yelled loudly. Apparently the little saiyan hybrid did hear her, but it was muffled from the barrier, so Kira slowly walked toward the very edge of the barrier right in front of her mother. Kira spoke up. "I hear you mommy." Her voice gave away the exhaustion and tiredness her body is. "Oh, sweety... Listen, the Princess will break the barrier, but you gotta hold till then okay? Don't let that cruel pony get to you, just keep him distracted until the barrier is down so we can help." Lyra explained. The little girl nodded her head. "Yes mommy." Kira replied through the barrier. The child's eyes filled with determination, she'll show that meanie that she's not weak! Meanwhile... Outside of the EIOSES Complex... The sky had darkened, clouds had unnaturally grouped together in the sky. Two of the Mane six stood on the hill as they watched the area seem to shift. "I... hope they're okay." Fluttershy said. "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm sure they are fine. Why, I'm positive the rest of the girls will come out with Ken any minute now!" Rarity replied. The holder of the Element of Generosity glanced up at the sky. "Doesn't say much about the weather through." Fluttershy stared up at the scary clouds, when she remembered something similar. "It l-looks like t-that time when we saw that g-golden light during Discord." "Huh?" Rarity recalled her memory. "Your right, something big is going on." The two paused, before Rarity continued. "So... About those carrot cakes you were talking about... " Kira turned around, her back against the barrier and her mother, the reason being what was in front of her. Kira faced the now returned, healed, and apparently angry, form of Ziek Foreton. The EIOSES leader glared with hatred at the young human fighter. He calmed himself, then said something that shook Kira to the very soul of her being. "Your effort is futile, you are weak, you are nothing compared to me, nor your brother. You will forever be in your brother's shadow, as his clone." Ziek said. The scientist grabbed a vial from his pocket, red and pink liquid inside the glass. Using his magic, he popped the top off. "I will show you why you are weak. I'll defeat you, beat you to submission, then you'll partake to experimentation and reproduction programs." He continued, before gulping down the potion. Kira narrowed her eyes, bringing all her left over Ki to end this quickly before whatever drank took effort. Bring her arms in position. "This is my last resort." She said. Ki gathered in both her palms, a shock full of powerful and concentrated red energy ball appearing in between her hands. She shot her arm forward she yelled the name of the technique taught to her by Raze-sensei. "Flash Cannon!" A blinding flash of red light erupts from Kira's hand, heading straight forward Ziek. The EIOSES leader remained unmoving and took the full brute force of the technique that seemed to pull the surrounding tiles and disintegrate them. "Did it work?" Kira questioned no one. Smoke filled the area where Ziek used to be, slowly but surely, the smoke evaporated in the air. Only to reveal, a horror within. Ziek Foreton, still alive, his form giving out odd monstrous shapes. Suddenly, Kira was hit from her front, a hoof implanted right on her chest. A bloodied, corrupted form of Ziek looked at Kira. His horn had taken the shape of a spiked mace, his eyes glowed with his magical aura of red. His fur coat was now striped with black, and his whole body had buffed up with muscle. The corrupted Ziek, pushed through his hoof magical power which blasted our saiyan heroine up into the magical barrier. Where he continued to hold her there while she got shocked from it. "Ahhhh!" Kira screamed in pain, before managing to grit her teeth and say."Kaio-Ken... Times... Two!" A red aura burst into existence around her body, giving her new strength and allowing her to slip out of Ziek's grasp and appear meters away from both him and the EIOSES Leader. The leader turned, his back hoof slamming into the ground before propelling him straight at the saiyan girl with great speed, a aura of magic swirling around him. Kira, with her kaio-ken form still active, charged at him as well. The two combatants collided in the middle in a flash of red light, the ground cracked beneath them as they struggled to overtake each other. Both Ki and Magic fought against each other in a battle of violent energies, their owners doing the same as they landed blow after blow. Kira pushed with all her might, she can feel her Ki energy draining as she used it more and more to fight. She might be a saiyan, but even she had to rest to restore her energy. The Kaio-ken helped in a fight, but it drained so quickly. She broke combat with Ziek, giving him a sky uppercut with her right foot as she back flipped away. She landed on her feet, only to glance at Ziek to find him gone. "Huh, where did he go?" Kira said, before trying to sense his energy. Her eyes widened in shock as she attempted to turn around to defend herself, she manged to turn, only to hit the ground. Ziek stood over her body, he slammed her foot onto her chest, and she cried out in pain. His voice resounded throughout the room as he spoke, "See? You are pathetic, a useless being who can only be used as a breeding stalk." The EIOSES Leader lifted his hoof and slammed it onto her again. She cried out, tears following out of her eyes from the pain coursing through her body. 'Ken... I need you... Brother... Help...' Kira tried to speak with her twin, but no one answered. "You think you can take back your brother? You can't even defend yourself! I'm sure your brother is going to be fine with me, I'll watch over him as he claws and tears apart the things called friends. As he succumbs to the vial that would release his instincts and he will never, be, himself, again." Kira's face was full of fear, and shock. Tears continued to run down her face as the EIOSES Leader beat her. Her vision becoming blurry, she was on the edge of losing consciousness.'This is it... I'm a really just someone getting in everypony's way? A useless sister in a book of heroes?' Kira looked toward the ceiling, a hole to the surface had been made during the battle, through so far down, she could still see night sky filled with purple clouds. Her hands clenched the broken tile on the flooring. 'But... What about Ken? What about my friends? Scootaloo... Sweetie Bell... Applebloom. What about mommy Lyra, aunt Bon-Bon, and uncle Raze-sensei? What about daddy?' The leader slowed down his physical assault enough to see the immediate environment begin to shift. Around him, the beaten saiyan girl, and the group of ponies on the other side of the barrier. Cracks began to form out of nowhere, pebbles rose and shattered into dust, the tiles lifted from their frame into the air. 'They believed in me... They never shot me down, never degraded me! My friends, my family! They supported me, I can't let them down! I can't let my brother down!' Lightning cracked in the sky above, the sound of thunder echoing through the ruins. Ziek Foreton got off the saiyan girl as she got slowly up, defying him and all his words, all his mockery. She stood up, looking at Ziek with anger, defiance, determination, and fulfillment of purpose. Blood oozed from her wounds, dripping onto the ground, but she didn't care, Kira was going to show him that is not useless. And in that moment, Ziek's eyes gave out a split second of fear, as the color of Kira's eyes shifted into that of a tealish green. She gritted her teeth, breathing through her mouth as she felt her hidden power surge forth from inside her body. Kira clenched her fist harder, her legs and arms buffed up, increasing her size. Her hair flowed upward, defying gravity without any wind to even lift it up naturally. Her moments of breath increased, as her hair started to change, it's hue of black shaping into that of a golden color. Then she yelled, a yell of power as a gold flaming aura of Ki engulfed her very form, finalizing her transformation into the legendary stature of a Super Saiyan. At long last, Kira had awakened. She stood tall, her eyes narrowed upon her evil enemy. Her aura, like a flame, surrounded her very figure. Her hair had rose a bit in height, it's new golden color signifying her new status. In a semi-calm matter, Kira spoke to Ziek, who was shocked and his eyes betrayed a hint of fear. "What's the matter?" Kira said. "Aren't I weak?"
