Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Red Baron ❯ Red of the Dead ( Chapter 23 )

The Red Baron

 

Red of the Dead

 

Again, the walking, reanimated Soldiers of Death began to make their way to the Red Baron as they all came to him with powerful blows to the head and chest. The second wave of fighters seemed much more powerful than before.

 

Not expecting their return and their increase in power, the Red Baron and the White Warrior were taken back and sent off their feet by the surprise attacks of the dozens of soldiers.

 

Worse still, as the heroes struggled to get back on their feet, the soldiers, separated after being destroyed, returned to their combined commando forms, now creating 5 powerful beings.

 

Surrounded, the Red Baron and the White Warrior went back to back as they looked at their enemies, seemingly unable to think of a way out of their situation.

 

With the bright moon shinning overhead, Valtuc looked at the fighters with a great smile on his face and a cold laughter in his heart.

 

“Do not waste my time, Baron. You and that bitch of yours are only delaying certain death. You may have defeated these being the first time around, but under my power, they are more than a match for you.”

 

The Red Baron looked toward Valtuc and only smiled.

 

“Well see about that!”

 

Using his blur technique, the Red Baron vanished and came behind on of the soldiers. Pouring energy into his leg, it glowed with a bright gray aura and the Red Baron connected a kick to the soldier's head.

 

YES! That kick is more powerful than any attack I gave these things the first time I fought them.

 

But something was wrong. The soldier's head only moved an inch. With the Red Baron still in mid-air, it turned around and grabbed his leg and spun him around with one quick swipe of his hand and into the ground.

 

The Red Baron's chest hit with a loud crack as he left a gapping wound on both his flesh and the dirt. The counter knocked what little wind he had out of him.

 

The White Warrior saw the situation unfold and reacted as fast as she could.

 

“BARON! Get up!”

 

She tried to dash to him, breaking into a run but with sudden movements, two other commandos came from her side and grabbed her by the arms. She was stopped right in her tracks.

 

“Hey….HEY! Let me go your pieces of…”

 

The commandos left no time for her to finish her sentence as they both rammed into her head, both giving her and head butt at the same time.

 

The White Warrior gave out a quick yelp of pain but continued to struggle as she was repeatedly hit with the head butts.

 

Valtuc was please with the progress.

 

“No, silly children. Daddy is punishing you and you have to take it. When my commandos are resurrected, they are given the powers of the undead themselves. You are not facing the same dog with the same tricks!”

 

The Red Baron suddenly appeared in front of him, surprising Valtuc.

 

“You're right. That's why I got some new ones right here! HA!!”

 

The Red Baron transformed using the powers of the necklace and became the Red Baron once more, his red streaks in his black hair returning as well as the same suit up.

 

After his power up, the Red Baron wasted no time and with a quick charge of energy, fired an attack, a burst of red energy.

 

The attack quickly closed in on Valtuc since it was not far. The face for a moment was desperate but it soon turned to a grin as the necromancer rose his hands into the air and summoned form the ground an undead corpse, taking the hit of energy and leaving Valtuc unscratched.

 

The Red Baron tried again but was quickly cut off by a commando who tried to take in a quick hit. The Red Baron halted his attack and managed to catch the fist of the commando. With a quick move, the grabbed the commando's arm and slammed him into the ground head first, breaking his neck.

 

“See how you like to eat dirt!”

 

The Red Baron quickly turned to see a flash of white light. The White Warrior had apparently dealt with the two commando's holding on to her. She too had powered up and was ripped the arms right off the commando's. Now free, the Red Baron and the White Warrior faced Valtuc and his two remaining commando's. The White Warrior spoke.

 

“This battle is not for you, Valtuc. You can't take us one forever at this rate.”

 

Valtuc took no heed in her warning.

 

“Wrong bitch. It's you who can't keep up. I can revive these guys all day.”

 

Valtuc flicked his hand and from behind the Red Baron and the White Warrior came the three commandos they had just dealt with.

 

“You see? You can't beat me so along as there is death in this world. And as long as you exist Baron, their will always be death.”

 

The Red Baron was stunned by the comment and felt himself drown in his burden. The mind game was working. But this time, the White Warrior wasn't going to have it.

 

“LEAVE HIM ALONE!”

 

The White Warrior fired her attack at Valtuc.

 

“SHINNING FINGER!”

 

The bright, golden light went straight to Valtuc. Without moving, he again summoned the undead to his aid and from the dead below him, rose a giant wall of corpses. The beam of light hit dead on the wall and it burst to pieces.

 

Though the wall was knocked down, Valtuc was just fine. He again had succeeded in making them waste more of their energy.

 

“You can't get to me, pretty. I will block anything you through at me! HA HA HA!”

 

The Red Baron suddenly regained his composure and smiled at Valtuc.

 

“Fine…BLOCK THIS!

Rising up into the air, the Red Baron began to charge a large concentration of his energy into His was preparing an attack.

 

Both Valtuc and the White Warrior were wondering what was happening. The Red Baron began to yell softly and his volume increased. Then, he was ready to attack. The very aura appearing around him made his hair and clothes swirl. Extending both his arms toward Valtuc and the other enemies, the called upon his attack.

 

“BARON MACHINE GUN!”

 

The Red Baron's arms began to move back and forth a ferocious velocity as he began to shoot out dozens and dozens of red energy balls, all going at super high speeds. The night began to glow in its brilliance as the energy balls hit the ground, attacking the undead commandos.

 

The Baron Machine Gun smacked into the commandos and after a couple of hits, were totally destroyed and torn into several pieces. As for Valtuc, her struggled to summon the undead and powered up as he unleashed a wave of dead as it poured form the ground like a fountain.

 

The White Warrior jumped back as the attack hit the area around her. The Red Baron's Machine Gun was blasting into the undead fountain at such great speed and force that pieces of corpse and blood splattered everywhere, even on the Red Baron.

 

Even so Valtuc was soon overcome and the attack broke through. Valtuc let out a quick yell before his was soon engulfed and overshadowed by the energy balls and the dust and smoke that came form their attack.

 

The red Baron gave out a final yell as he finished off the attack. The area around Valtuc was covered in ash and smoke and the Red Baron was forced to land. He landed next to the White Warrior and they looked into the smoke in front of them. The White Warrior came to the red Baron and asked him something.

 

“Is it over?”

 

The Red Baron shook his head.

 

“Not yet.”

 

Like waiting for the answer, Valtuc appeared but differently. He had merged his body into one of the undead. That undead was a prehistoric undead T-Rex. Valtuc was now in direct control of him.

 

“DIE BARON!”

 

The Red Baron and the White Warrior jumped out of the way as the undead master ordered the T-Rex to bite at them. It missed and put its head back up as Valtuc fired several blasts of energy to the flying fighters. His attacks were power and the Red Baron was having trouble dodging them.

 

It was time for the White Warrior for the White Warrior to make her move. Focusing her pure light powers, she began to make a wave of pure, bright energy that began to illuminate the area. Valtuc was poured into the purity of it and was losing control over his undead powers.

 

“Wha…what is happening to ME!!!”

 

The Red Baron, once again, appeared right in front of him. This time, though, he was holding his Spirit Sword, fully powered, and aiming right at the T-Rex and Valtuc.

 

“It's simple, Valtuc, the power of the light will never lose to the darkness! I won't let it lose to you! AHHH!!!”

 

The Red Baron swung with all his might as the power blade cut through the T-Rex and Valtuc. Both of them were split down the middle and as T-Rex guts filled the air, the monstrous creation ell to the floor.

 

The Red Baron and the White Warrior flew down and landed next to the remains of Valtuc. He was still alive. The Red Baron spoke to him.

 

“It's over, Valtuc. You're death has arrived.”

 

Valtuc could only laugh at the statement. He had sensed something and it made him laugh.

 

“<cough> <cough> Baron, you fool. The master is right about you. You are easily tainted and you are weak. Your humanity is your weakness, Baron. And my master rand his mistress are about to use it against you.”

 

The Red Baron looked at him in question and got close to him, yelling and demanding.

 

“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”

 

Valtuc laughed again.

 

“Can't you sense it…she has him SHE HAS HIM!! HA HA HA!

 

The Red Baron began to sense around and within a moment, his face was filled with fear and confusion.

 

“They have him now, Baron. And it will be him and will bring your undoing. My master has plans for him and it will be too late for you. It will be your blood that kills you, Baron! YOU CAN'T SAVE HIM HA HA HA!!”

 

The red Baron stood up quickly and without wasting another minute, fired a powerful burst of energy into he ground and left a crater in the place of Valtuc's remains. He could no longer be sensed.

 

The White Warrior was worried and looked to the silent and disturbed Baron.

 

“What's wrong? Who have they taken?”

 

The Red Baron with held his tear as his knowledge tore him apart.

 

“They…they have my brother.”
