Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Red Baron ❯ The Indwelling ( Chapter 32 )

The Red Baron

 

The Indwelling

 

The Red Baron struggled all he could get some headway but while dangling from two dark energy swords, he could find very little he could do at the moment. And Suzin knew that and he was very pleased with the whole situation.

 

“Poor Baron, you are such a poor bastard. You can't seem to break free from such a horrible predicament. But you have to give me the fact that I did warn you. Perhaps you could have embraced the darkness like your brother did.”

 

The very sentence shook Baron in and out.

 

What did he say?

 

“That's right you heard me. And it's very much true. Why would I lie to you? Your brother is dead to you and you will soon join him.”

 

Suzin began to criss-cross his sword apart which tore at the insides of the Red Baron and he was left to scream in ultimate agony. The very pain he felt sent bloody saliva to burst flicker form his mouth as he screamed. Suzin wanted to bathe in it.

 

“Come now, BARON! Beg for your LIFE! I want to hear you admit that your ideals and morals have killed you this day! You should die knowing the truth of what you lost this day! SINK INTO THE DARKNESS!”

 

The Red baron yelled out louder and louder but he showed no signs of even clearing his throat. And at last, Suzin hah enough fun for one day.

 

“So long Baron, you were a worthy opponent…sort of.”

 

The Suzin's eyes let out a small flash of white light. He used his powers to summon more soldiers of death to his company and sent them on the Red Baron. If the swords didn't kill him soon, the soldiers would. And better yet, they morphed together and became 5 monstrous commandos.

 

The Red Baron looked up as they came down on him. He gave a weak smile, almost admitting defeat.

 

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

 

But suddenly, a flash of light came from the corner of his eyes and a powerful beam of energy raced toward the commandos and obliterated them. The Red Baron had closed his eyes when the flash of energy swept across and as he opened them, he looked in the direction from which it came from.

There, stood Josh. He had used his own Kamehameha technique. Apparently he had just enough energy to pull it off. Because even now, he was breathing hard, but not hard enough to make his remark.

 

“Man…I love it when you get in trouble and make me look good, Carlos.”

 

Josh had seen the initial explosion and followed it here just in time to help out. But he was not alone. Devyn and Dawn were behind them, looking on in shock and awe at what they were seeing.

 

Josh looked at The Red Baron and had to smile, rubbing the back of his head.

 

“Sorry, Carlos, they followed me here. What was I supposed to do?”

 

The Red Baron still looked serious but had a funny idea.

 

Looks like I'll be doing some clean up duty after this.

 

Suzin looked to Josh with a sinister smile.

 

“I'll tell you what you should do. I think you should come here and allow me to feast on your souls.”

 

Josh jumped back. He knew he had no power to stop him at all. Suzin was powering up an energy attack to come out of his very mouth.

 

But before he could finish powering it up, a huge explosion of energy came from behind him. He turned back to look at the Red Baron and what he found was simply impossible.

 

The Red Baron was floating in mid-air, his power and crimson aura in full spiral. The dark spirit swords had shatter! The Red Baron had broken free form them.

 

“But…but how!? How did you get out of them?!”

 

The Red Baron smiled.

 

“Well, it wasn't easy. In fact, it still fucking hurts. But thanks to my friends, the friends that you tell me would let me down, I was able to have you distracted enough to lose focus and allow me to gain just enough of my own focus to break free. In other words, your almighty darkness has failed you.”

 

Suzin wouldn't have it. He recreated his two spirit swords and immediately rushed toward the Red Baron at full power and speed. He was screaming with all the intensity of a manic.

 

“I WON'T LET YOU LIVE! MY MASTER DEMANDS IT! YOU WILL DIE RED BARON!!”

 

The Red Baron pulled out his own Spirit Sword and stood there. Suzin, with all his power, rushed at Baron like a giant boulder shot out of a gun as fast as a bullet. His swords were pointed toward him and ready to slice him into oblivion.

 

“DIE!”

 

And Suzin swung his swords at the Red Baron. But when he swung, the Red Baron suddenly rushed into him and surprised Suzin. With a sudden gasp, Suzin's swords were shattered by the Red Baron's Spirit Sword. Then the Red Baron disappeared. Suzin could sense him and turned around immediately, only to find the Red Baron facing the same direction and stabbing his sword behind him and straight into Suzin's heart.

 

Suzin was not fast enough to do anything and the sword went inside him. He looked down at the sword as its piercing effect rammed into Suzin's body. The black blood that slowly drained out of any small opening was endless. The Sprit Sword when straight through him out the other end. Suzin was shaking with fear and shame as he knew it was over.

 

Suzin looked at the back of Baron's head. He spoke just above a whimpering whisper.

 

“How? How did you win? This is not possible. You are of a foolish cause. You can't possible have won over me! Your cause only brings pain and anguish to your pathetic soul. Do you not realize that your morals will be the death of you? How can you humans possibly live like that?”

 

The Red Baron did not face him but spoke with all the serious he had.

 

“Its not easy, Suzin, to live that type of life. Even I can't say I am fully there. What you described is what every human should be. And yes, even I still desire such a way and cause. And even though it means that I must be strong at the times I want to be weak, and to take on great responsibilities with no rewards but simply the action, it is the life I have chosen. Though I will probably fail, and though I may even give in to the darkness that is in my heart and become immoral, I can assure you that it will not come easy. I will always fight it as I have now. And it won't be on this day that I fall to the darkness.”

 

“You are a fool Baron. You are a fool. But I am defeated and simply let me die now. I do not wish to listen to anymore of your silly moral, human shit.”

 

And with that, the deed was done. Channeling his energy, the red Baron sent a blast of energy into this sword and it came out of the sword, causing a massive explosion that ripped the remains of Suzin into nothingness.

 

It was over, the Red Baron powered down and fell to the ground. Josh, Devyn, and Dawn ran to his side. Josh immediately began to get as much bandages around the Red Baron to stop the large flow of blood from coming out of his body. Meanwhile, Devyn and Dawn looked down at the Red Baron with so many questions in their faces. This time, the Red Baron cleared his throat.

 

“Okay…you guys should sit down. This is going to be a long story.

 

The White Warrior continued to fly in a direction unknown. She was following something that she had felt. Finally, she found it. She found the warehouse that housed the Dark Baron. Without any second thoughts, she powered up a little and burst through the roof and into the center of the warehouse.

 

There stood the Dark Baron. There was also a dark figure behind him. The Dark baron faced the White Warrior but spoke to the figure behind him. Only the dark, red eyes of the figure behind him could be seen.

 

“Go now, my pet. Suzin has failed me. Now, you will be able to take his place and get me my powers.”

 

Suddenly, the red eyes were seen shooting up out of the hole on the roof just created by the White Warrior. Only the black figure of the being was seen but instantly, she realized who it was. She looked at the Dark Baron with horror and disgust.

 

“YOU ARE A MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!! WHY!!?”

 

She powered up and went into a fighting stance.

 

The Dark Baron smiled. He said nothing to her as he also went into a fighting stance. But then he spoke.

 

“You lost last time. You lived. This time you will lose and you won't live.”

 

Along with the Dark Baron, he and the White Warrior were surrounded by hundreds of Soldiers of Death. It wasn't looking good for the White Warrior.

 

As the Red Baron lay recovering, filled the in for the rest of them the recent events that had taken place. Aside from learning that Carlos was the Red Baron and the death of Master Janus, they were in shock all the same. Josh tired to hold back tears about the whole situation.

 

“They are going to pay for this.”

 

But before the Red Baron could answer him, he suddenly felt the surge of power. He felt the White Warrior's power, and the Dark Baron's power. The look his face was horrifying.

 

Though hurt, he stood up fast. Josh was amazed he could do that.

 

“Carlos! Sit down! You aren't healed yet! You have to rest!”

 

“We can't, Josh. She in trouble. She's with him right now fighting. I have to go and help her.”

 

He began to teleporting but before he could finish, Josh grabbed don to him. So did Devyn and Dawn. He couldn't stop the teleport now. But there was a quick conversation as it happened.

 

“What do you guys think your doing?”

 

Devyn answered for them.

 

“We're your best friends. You ain't going anywhere without us.”

 

And so it was, they appeared in the area of the warehouse. But it was farther than he had expected. The Red Baron wondered what had happened.

 

“What the hell? We're supposed to be closer. What stopped us?

 

Then it came.

 

“I did.”

 

The Red Baron was stricken with fear and hope at the same time. He recognized the voice but he knew it wasn't possible or even the voice he really knew. But there he was. Though now he looked different. He now stood 6 feet tall. His hair was pitch black and silky down to his mid-torso. His skin was a bit paler and his nails, probably claws, were longer and sharp. He wore a red and black komodo though it didn't' seem to interfere with is movement. And his eyes were a blood red like nothing he had ever seen before. Everyone else who looked at him knew who he was, too, but couldn't believe it. The Red Baron and then stood there in silence as they tried to reason in their heads what they were seeing, though it was impossible. The Red Baron spoke his name first.

 

“Andy?”

 

Indeed it was Andy. But it sure wasn't him anymore. And he confirmed that.

 

“Yes, that was my old name in my past life. But now you will now bow before me and call me Shadow, the instrument that will bring forth the full power of my master, the Dark Baron, as I summon the very power of the shadow dragon, Sin Shenron. That is my destiny and it is your fate to die by its power.”

 

The Red Baron wouldn't hear of it.

 

“No, you're Andy. ANDY! You aren't what you are now! You can't be!”

 

“Face it, my old brother. I am Shadow now and you are as good as dead.”

 

Shadow then transformed in the original version of Andy. He was smaller now and less lethal. But it wasn't to last for very long.

 

“Take a good look because this is the last time you will ever see this body again.”

 

He raised his arms to the sky and began to call to the darkening sky.

 

“SHADOW DRAGONS! I SUMMON YOU! COME TO ME SIN SHENRON!”

 

With that, a blot of black lighting blasted Shadow with dark electricity. A powerful vortex or wind and energy blew everyone but the Red Baron off their feet. The Red Baron was in a state of fear and tears as he saw his brother's body disintegrate and the full body of Shadow appear, his brother lost forever.

 

“YES! Now I have the full power of the Shadow Dragon at my disposal. I am now its vessel and its weapon. And I will soon be also known as the instrument of the Red Baron's death and the pride of the Dark Baron's Empire.”

 

This was too much for the Red Baron to take. With the White Warrior in danger and his brother reborn into darkness, he was completely lost and there was no answer for him, none that came to him. Perhaps Suzin was right.
