Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Red Baron ❯ Vengeance ( Chapter 30 )

The Red Baron

 

Vengeance

 

The Red Baron had just arrived at Master Janus' house. His master had apparently summoned him to the dojo for some special training, though the tone of his voice was very serious and it seemed that there would be more done then simply training. The Red Baron could only wonder what was about to happen during that meeting but he knew that whatever it was, it was going to be very important to the recent events.

 

Master Janus was there at his front door. Though it was not the dojo, the Red Baron and his friends continued to call it the dojo simply because they went there to train with Master Janus. It had been four months since the terrible attack on the dojo and ever since then, it obviously hasn't been the same.

 

The Red Baron went up and greeted his master with a bow. Master Janus bowed in return. Master Janus had a serious look on is face, just as the Red Baron predicted, but it wasn't one of urgency, which made the Red Baron feel better. But there still seemed ot be things to be discussed.

 

“Please, Carlos, come in. We have much to talk about.”

 

The Red Baron nodded and entered Master Janus' house. They went outside to his backyard out in the open, grassy plain. They sat on a bench that was under the shade of the patio roof. Master Janus cleared his throat and looked at the Red Baron.

 

“My young student, you have truly undergone a very difficult time in the last few months that I am sure has taken a toll you. And I am sure that you would like to know some reasons to the events that have occurred.”

 

The Red Baron nodded.

 

“Yes, you're right. I would like to know what's all going on here. Even Vanessa doesn't know the full story of all that's been going on. What does all this mean, master? Do you know?”

 

Master Janus smiled very seriously.

 

“Well, I have been doing such digging into the past of this great war that happened so many centuries ago that involve the original warrior whose power know you possess. After much research, I do believe I have some information that may help you in your quest that fate has given you.”

 

The Red Baron looked with great interest and intent.

 

“What is it that you have discovered, master?”

 

“Well, Carlos, I do know that this evil you are facing, who we call the Dark Baron, is a terrible humanoid demon. He appeared many years and generations ago where he fought your predecessor. From the record, it was a fierce battle that took the lives of hundreds of innocent people and could have had the potential to destroy the world itself.”

 

“But in a last ditch effort, the original possessor of your necklace along with the tribe that would spawn the White Warriors were able to neutralize the powers of the Dark Baron and his minions, banishing them into nothingness and sealing away the power of the Dark Baron forever.”

 

The Red Baron looked at his master with question.

 

“What happened to the original warrior? Why couldn't he simply destroy the Dark Baron while he was sealed?”

 

“Well, sadly as they were performing the rituals, the wearer of your necklace had difficulty cutting through the onslaught of minions and demons sent by the Dark Baron. Though he was able to break through the enemy lines, he was already far too weak to challenge the Dark Baron and thus, The Dark Baron killed him with but a single blast of energy.”

 

The Red Baron was stricken with a silent and invisible fear. He held his composure quite well and showed very little of his fear, though Master Janus could almost tell his emotions were steaming out of him.

 

“Master, how was the Dark Baron defeated, then?”

 

“As the Dark Baron committed his final attack on the warrior, the combined powers of the ritual of the people and the warrior's power and own self sacrifice complete the ritual with a much more powerful effect than expected. With the incredible power boost created by the warrior, the spell was able to hold the Dark Baron and confine him and his dark power, thus turning him into stone.”

 

The Red Baron was pretty shaken up by the story. He was wondering what it all meant to him. Why was his master telling him such a disturbing story?”

 

“If you must know, Carlos, there is still more to the story. One thing that hasn't been told to you yet is that the Dark Baron is seeking a very dark and dangerous power. You see, long ago, the Earth was plagued by seven evil dragons. This creatures were the strongest beings ever created and their powers were beyond anything ever seen before. Though they were eventually defeated by my ancestors, some of their energies and spirits continue to thrive in the Earth as mere memories of themselves. The Dark Baron is seeking the power of the dragon that was called Sin Shenron whose powers were the darkest. Had he succeeded, nothing could have been done to save him.”

 

“But master, what are you saying? What must be done?”

 

“Baron, I am telling you that you must stop him from possessing the dark energy. As far as I know, two of the seven dragons were able to have spirits remain on the Earth. One is supposedly of pure energy while the other is made of dark energy. It is even said that your necklace was created form one of those dragons as was the necklace of the Dark Baron. Though the histories do not say where the necklaces came from.”

 

“Baron, you must stop the Dark Baron from getting these powers at all cost. If you don't there will be no hope for this world and the end of the world as we know it will come. I pray that my ancestors do not have to come from beyond to deal with this. It must be you who must take care of this. If not for the sake of the Earth but for your friends, your family, your brother, Carlos. Do it for Andy.”

 

The Red Baron stood up and nodded.

 

“You are right master, I must avenge my brother's death and put a stop to all this. I must go now and stop him. I think I might be strong enough. I'm not sure of anything, though.. But staying here won't do any good. We have to go and stop him now!”

 

But before anything could be done, a voice is heard in the thickness of the trees.

 

“You will do no such thing, mortal.”

 

Out from the shadows stood the great and powerful Suzin. He was large but not much larger than the Red Baron himself. He looked like a human in his upper twenties though he had been among the living for thousands of years. He had short, trimmed black hair that didn't go much past his years. He also wore a black muscle shirt. Which revealed a figure that looked like that of a wrestler but his proportions suggested that it was not only strength he relied on. His eyes were as empty as a dark well and he had quite a wicked smile. His pants were made of a very soft and strong cloth-like material that allowed him all the flexibility of being naked.

 

“So, we finally meet face to face, young one.”

 

The Red Baron stood up and was already for a fight, going into a fighter's stance. But Suzin wasn't even acting like he was here for a fight. He looked very natural and poised. He spoke with a very proper and mannered voice, though he words and mission were far from polite.

 

“You are the one who is called the Red Baron, who calls my Dark Lord, the Dark Baron. It is a name my master has actually been pleased with. It almost makes him feel sorry that he has sent me to kill you.”

 

The Red Baron fired back with his own words.

 

“The only one who's not going to make it out of here alive is you. You are nothing but a dark and lowly demon whose only purpose is to come and mess up everything here in the Dark Baron's name.”

 

Suzin laughed.

 

“You are very clever and headstrong, Red Baron. But I can assure you that none of that is going to help you live a second longer with me. For I am Suzin, the Black Knight of the Dark Lord. I am here to destroy you and all who stand between me and you. I will be the one who winds my master blessing. You have killed all of my fellow minions, all children of the Dark Lord. But you will not have your way with me.”

 

The Red Baron felt a bit shaky about this situation. He could sense a very strong presence in Suzin. He was definitely powerful but there was something different about him. He was something well above the rest of the enemies he had fought.

 

“What exactly makes you special, Suzin? What makes you better than all the other goons that came and got their ass beat into the next dimension?”

 

“If you must know, the rest of them were silly and foolish and all of them underestimated your true powers and potential. But I know everything I need to know about you. You are a mirror of my master, young one. I will conquer you with all you have. My mind will be your death for it holds all the keys to your demise.”

 

From behind him, several dozens of Soldiers of death popped from the ground and formed a group behind Suzin. They were also ready to attack. Suzin gave the final words and orders.

 

“Now, Red Baron. It is time to meet your maker! You will be destroyed and I will rise above all the others who have been foolish enough to be destroyed by you. Now, SOLIDERS! ATTACK!”

 

And with that command, the swarm of soldiers of came and attacked the Red Baron and Master Janus. But they were ready.

 

Master Janus jumped backwards but was immediately sent flying through is home by a tackle attack by one of the soldiers of death. Two came from behind the first and went straight toward Janus. Janus was able to recover just in time to begin blocking the blows of the incoming attackers. Blocking their punches with lightening fast reflexes, he was able to jump backwards away from them and fire an attack.

 

He shot a powerful energy blast that easily ripped through the two soldiers and the first one up above. The blast was seen from far away and it lead a few people toward the house of Master Janus.

 

In the meantime, the Red Baron was easily taking on the vast army of soldiers. With incredible skill and power, the Red Baron was catching soldiers in mid air and throwing them into others, giving him time to shoot fatal energy balls into the seas of enemies.

 

Suzin watched with great delight and was making plans to do even more damage.

 

Now the time has come to make my mark on the Red Baron's mind.

 

Master Janus came from inside the house as yet another powerful blow blew him back into it. This time, however, it was Suzin. Master Janus was in bit of a shock. Suzin was much more powerful than Master Janus and Janus knew that.

 

“Come quietly, stupid human, or face my wrath.”

 

“Over my dead body, demon!”

 

Master Janus poured all his power into blurring directly in front of Suzin and unleashed a powerful uppercut that knocked out all sense out of Suzin. Then, summoning all his power, Master Janus used his ultimate attack.

 

KAME….HA….ME….HA!!!!!

 

Using this ultimate technique, The Kamehameah Wave, the powerful technique of Goku, the legendary hero and ancestor of Master Janus, Master Janus unleashed a powerful, glowing white wave of energy that engulfed the screaming Suzin and sent a powerful explosion ripping through the Master's home.

 

The Red Baron covered his eyes and braced himself because of the great power of the attack. It was something he had never seen his Master do, though he was very much frightened for him.

 

“MASTER!!!”

 

As both his words and the glow disappeared, all that remained was ashes and wreckage of the home. The smoke was heavy and thick, with gas lines and electricity boxes glowing up along side the home itself. Many of the soldiers had actually been destroyed in the attack and every remaining solider and the Red Baron watched as they waited for the smoke to clear.

 

As it cleared, however, The Red Baron saw something he wished he didn't see.

 

Master Janus was still in his stance, the stance he used to deploy the wave of energy toward Suzin. But Suzin was behind him in a very unlikable position. He had a thick board sword out and was in a stance as if he had just finished running with the sword. Master Janus spoke.

 

“Remember, Baron, all that I have told you today. The fate of everything and everywhere now rests on your shoulders.”

 

And with those last words, the Master's body split into different pieces, his head and torso going to his left and his legs to the right. The diagonal cut had made its way through. Also through his arms in their stance, leaving parts of his arms and a hand on the floor as well. Suzin not only survived the powerful attack, but he was able to move within it and with a single slice, kill his beloved master.

 

“MASTER!”

 

The Red Baron yelled out in a rage as he transformed into his full power, his red aura and power rising from within him. Suzin simply looked form below with the same, cold smile.

 

Now it has begun, Baron. I will set forth something from within you that you have never seen before. Then, you will die.

 

Far away, The White Warrior was flying in the sky. But as it set, she was not going toward the powerful fight she had been sensing from the Red Baron and the dark evil that she had felt. She was headed toward a different place. She had a different goal.

 

I'm sorry, Baron. I am sorry.
