The Red Baron

 

Carlos' Challenge

As the 3 of them looked up at the soldiers, Janus was the one who thought it wise to speak.

”You, up there! Who are you and how dare you attack my home!”

The gray beings all looked at him. Apparently they didn't talk much. What they did was all fly down. Their seed was extraordinary. Before Carlo or Janus could realize it, they were surrounded on all sides by the 12 soldiers. Janus held on to Josh but then looked to Carlos.

”Take Josh, Carlos. I'll handle them. You guys have to just get out of here.”

”But…”

 

“GO!”

Without second thought, Carlos grabbed onto Josh and they flew up into the sky. The soldiers looked up but as they did, Janus powered up and sent a wave of energy all around him, knocking back all the soldiers. All 12 of them stood up fast. 2 of them went up again toward Carlos.

Janus tried to stop them but one of the soldiers sent a powerful punch to his face and made hi step back. Once he regained his composure, the remaining 10 went on an attacking spree, aiming punches and kicks at Janus. Janus flipped into the air and shot a powerful kick into on of their faces, sending him flying back.

 

But a nearby soldier took the opportunity to jump up as well and send a power kick to Janus' gut and send hi flying back toward 2 more soldiers. They caught Janus and in one motion, slammed him back into the ground.

 

Janus took the blow and got back up as fast as he could. He jumped up into the air and with both of his legs, kicked the soldiers square in the face, sending them back as well. But a soldier in front of Janus sent a ball of energy toward Janus. But Janus was ready for this type of attack and swung at the ball of energy, knocking it away into another soldier. Still moving forward, Janus got in one incredible punch into the solider in front of him. The impact of the punch was so great, that its head exploded. The headless body fell to the floor and disintegrated.

 

Though one was done Janus had little time to react as another soldier behind him also sent a punch square in his face. Janus was sent flying back and he rolled into the pavement. His impact left a pot hold on the parking lot of his dojo.

 

Janus' forehead now had a nasty cut in it and this caused Janus to lose a lot of focus. He was breathing hard.

There so many of them. I attack one and 2 come to get me back. I need a little more juice.

Janus powered up again and put his hands out in front of him. Yelling real loud, he began to create 2 large energy balls, one on each hand. Point them at the soldiers, he began to create a shower or energy balls and fired them at the soldiers. Dozens and dozens of balls showered upon the soldiers, who tried t brace themselves. Janus yelled and poured tons of energy into his attack as the area shifted to sunset to a bright yellow lighted area.

 

The soldiers were covered in a half-sphere of yellow energy. Small but powerful explosion were left in the attack's wake. Janus stopped his attack. He was now breathing very hard. It ha been years since he's fought to hard and he was almost not used to all this action. Sweating was falling from his face. He was hurt as well.

There, that should have done it.

But as the yellow energy half-sphere disappeared, it seemed to be absorbed and then disappear completely. Out from the smoke came all the 9 remaining soldiers. All of them were a bit hurt but not by much. They were surrounded by many holes created by Janus' attacks.

Now very frustrated and worried, Janus decided that it was time to call in some heavy artillery. Though he was already drained from attacking and then his fight with Carlos, he had to at least try it one more time. Going into the same stance as before, Janus got ready to fire one final Kamehameha wave. Powering up like never before, Janus began to make the very ground he stood on shake.

 

Concentrating all his energy, Janus fired his kamehameha wave at the soldiers of death. The blast was noticeably much bigger than the one before and the power of the blast was coming right toward the soldiers. The soldiers could not act quickly enough and soon the wave engulfed all of them. Soon, the entire area was covered in a brilliant white light of energy. Once the smoke and light were clear, all that was left of the area was a very large hole in the ground.

Janus powered down and began to breathe hard, finally done with what seemed like one of the hardest battles for his life he had ever had.

Suddenly, Janus sensed energy and for a moment, took nothing of it, but then he looked behind him. He turned just in time to catch a small energy come toward him. In his position, he could not move and the blast hit him on target, sending him all what way to where h had just fired the Kamehameha.

Janus' shirt was ripped to shreds and he was badly hurt. He had broken something in his arms and his forehead was not bleeding much more. He had the worlds' biggest headache. But he had enough to see what just attacked him. Behind him at the time were 5 of the soldiers he had thought he just defeated. Apparently, they were all hit but they molded together to create 5 soldiers to make up for the lost comrades. This was a very unique ability. And Janus could do nothing but pray now.

 

Back in the air, Carlos was struggling with his own situation. Now being chased by 2 of the soldiers of death and holding onto Josh was making things hard for him. As they flew around the area, Carlos had to hold off against energy blasts and dodge the attacking forces. Josh was just grabbing o for dear life.

”CARLOS! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!”

Carlos could do little to comfort his friend as he struggled to dodge and block punches coming from one of the soldiers. The other one was getting ready to fire a blast of ki energy. Both Carlos and the other soldier sensed this and immediately blurred away, causing the energy beam to miss.

Carlos appeared over the soldier who fired the blast and gave him a kick to the head. But the other soldier came and tried to punch Carlos in the face. Carlos just ducked it and grabbed the soldiers leg with is free left hand. Getting in some momentum, he spun the soldier around and tossed him into the ground.

 

The soldier hit the ground hard and the other soldier landed next to him, waiting for his fellow soldier to get up. They looked up at Carlos and Carlos looked down at them. Again, Josh began to whine.

”Josh, what do you want me to do?! It's not like I can really fight them.”

Josh continued to whine.

”I don't know, you're the `Red Baron.' Do something!”

 

Carlos took no smile as to being called the Red Baron this time. Instead, he was trying to come up with a plan to take these two guys out and quickly. I was able to partial sense that Master Janus was having a little trouble.

 

The two soldiers below powered up themselves and raced toward Carlos. Carlos, with little ideas left did the unthinkable. With one sudden motion, he powered up and dropped Josh, who was now falling from hundreds of feet in the air.

Josh began to yell.

”What the fuck do you think you're doing!!”

Carlos went as fast as he could. Flying at full speed, he went straight toward the soldiers. Powering up two balls of red energy on each of his hand, he went between the two soldiers. At that moment, all 3 of them stopped, Carlos in the middle. The two soldiers saw their opportunity and were about ready to attack. Carlos gave them no time.

”Not this time, guys. HA!!!”

With a sharp, echoing yell, Carlos fired two small beams of energy toward the soldiers, one with each hand. The soldiers didn't see this attack coming and wee instantly destroyed and disintegrated by the attack.

As they're dust came falling to Earth, Carlos blasted off again and came right under a screaming Josh and caught him in mid air. Josh almost passed out.

”If you EVER do that again, I'll kill you myself!”

Carlos had no time to laugh at the statement. He landed right next to a wounded Janus. Janus was in bad condition and was not getting better. He place Josh down next to him.

”Take care of him, Josh. I'll take care of the rest of the rest of them.”

Josh nodded with a bit of fear as Carlos walked up to the rest of the soldiers. The soldiers didn't seem to flinch with the coming of Carlos. But soon they realized that Carlos was indeed the target their master wanted destroyed.

With that, the 5 soldiers and Carlos all of a sudden seemed to just disappear with a simple flash. Josh and Janus were shocked. They didn't know where they all went. But soon, they wee given their answer. A large shockwave came form the center of the parking lot and there appeared Carlos and the soldiers in mid air. All of them were exchanging blow after blow. Carlos was dig his best to block the attacks the attacks of his 5 opponents and it seemed that even he right now was having trouble.

But soon, Carlos found an opening. He powered up and using his energy, pushed 4 of the soldiers away, leaving 1 in the center. It tried to attack Carlos but Carlos was able to side step it. With great agility, he kicked the solider right into the ground, head first. Once, the solider hit the ground, Carlos landed on him and smashed his head in, killing the soldier.

Another soldier tried to go in for the kill but he was no match for Carlos. All his attacks did not connect with Carlos and soon, Carlos was able to get a hold both his arms. The soldier tried to kick at Carlos but again, Carlos was much to fast.

 

A soldier fired up a ki attack and was aiming at the distracted Carlos. He fired a powerful shot of energy toward Carlos. Carlos sensed its approach and turned himself around in time to used the solider he held onto as a shield. The dust flying in the air left Carlos more than enough room to attack and coming out from the dust, punched the soldier right in the head for instant death.

The two remain soldiers began to power their own energy attacks, getting ready to combine them into one large attack. Carlos turned in time to see it fired upon him. The blast was indeed quite powerful and yet, Carlos stood his ground.

Janus fro a far yelled for Carlos to move but it was ignored. Carlos stood his ground and raising his hands, powered up against the attack. The energy blast reached its target but Carlos was able to cancel out the attack.

 

The soldiers did not hesitate, being the soldiers of death, and went straight for Carlos. They began to attack with much greater speed and might than before. They were becoming blurs in the night. Carlos was dodging and watching out but with a simple yell, he disappeared. The soldiers wee giving a powerful punch at the time and with Carlos' move, they ended up hitting each other.

 

With the diversion, Carlos reappeared. He grabbed each of their heads and with his brute strength, he smashed their heads in. Gray matter flew everywhere and of course all of it disappeared, ending the battle with the soldiers.

 

With the battle ended, Carlos powered back down. When he went to Josh, Josh had told hi that he needed to get Janus to a hospital quickly. Carlos nodded and picking him up, sped toward the nearest hospital, leaving Josh to go home.

 

As Carlos sped off in the night sky, he looked at Janus, who he was carrying. Janus ad bee out for about 5min and was looking in bad shape. He knew he had to get him to the hospital as fast as possible and thanks to his now powers, he'd be able to do that.

But now he had thoughts of vengeance on his mind. He was not determined to find out who those things were and where they came from. He thought about his dream and of the dark man he saw, thinking that for sue that dream was reality, a vision.

Carlos looked down at his master and spoke t him in a soft voice.

 

“Don't worry, master. I will see to it that whoever let this happen will pay. I will make them pay.”

Carlos powered up and went his fastest in the night sky, leaving a red aura in his trail.
