Chapter Fourteen: Seshin's Blade

Seshin breathed deep, gathering up his courage. Gyakou got up and faced him, angry. Seshin's hands tensed on his blade, holding it toward the Android. Gyakou eyed the sword, assessing this new threat. An edged weapon could kill Gyakou rather easily, that's why he had to get rid of Gohan, once and for all. Seshin would have to be removed also, now that he had posed a deadly threat. Gyakou's body could take a bad beating, thanks to the Android enhancements, but edged weapons could slice through his body, causing his robotic parts to explode. Gyakou stood there, not moving, deciding to let Seshin make the first move.

"What!?" Seshin said, angry. "Nothing to say!? No witty come-backs, no snappy insults!?"

Gyakou smiled. "Don't poke your eye out."

"Oh, don't worry." Seshin smiled. "It's not MY eye I'm going to poke out!"

**********

Aukai felt Vegeta's power slam dangerously close to zero. Sweat poured down his face, the salty fluid stinging his eyes. However, the young fisherman didn't flinch, he didn't even blink. He just raised his hands to the sky, absorbing as much energy as he could.

"Come on, Seshin!" Aukai thought. "Hold him off just a little longer…"

**********

Seshin faced off against Gyakou back up on the Outlook. He was slashing mercilessly at the suddenly nimble Android. Seshin went Super Saiyan and picked up the pace. Gyakou was desperately avoiding the sword, but the very tip kept taking small nicks out of Gyakou's chest, splattering small drips of blood onto the floor. Angry is what you'd expect from Gyakou, but instead fear flooded his frame. Anyone of those cuts could potentially cause his entire body to explode. Seshin made a stab for his face, but Gyakou ducked and brought his fist up into the Saiyan's stomach. Turning, Gyakou kicked Seshin in the jaw, sending Seshin flying back. Seshin slammed onto the floor on his back then performed a graceful back hand spring and flipped to his feet, sword in hand. Gyakou grinned.

"Not bad, you even scratched me." Gyakou said.

Seshin relaxed, sword tight in his fist though. "For you, a scratch can be a mortal wound."

Gyakou's eyebrow lifted up. "So, you know about my `enhancements'?"

Seshin laughed. "Everyone here knows who you are, Android # 0!!!"

Gyakou ran at Seshin and performed a serious of viscous attacks. Seshin swung the sword skillfully, blocking most of Gyakou's offense, but more than just a few punches landed on his face and chest. Seshin jumped back, putting space between him and Gyakou.

"What's the matter, boy?" Gyakou said. "Catching your breath?"

Seshin smiled. "Now you die, Android # 0!"

Seshin's sword glowed a light blue, then he swung it at Gyakou. "ZANTETSUKEN!" Seshin screamed as a razor thin energy beam flew at Gyakou in the exact same arc that Seshin swung his blade. Gyakou leaned to his side and the attack sliced through the extremely hard floor of the Outlook. Seshin began to attack with a series of Zantetsuken attacks, some coming mere inches away from slicing Gyakou in two, or three, or four. Each failed attack cut a generous portion out of the Outlook. Seshin kept this up as long as he could, his energy dropping fast.

**********

Aukai could tell there was hardly any energy left for him to gather. His attack, however, was no where near enough power to kill Gyakou. He probably didn't even have enough to scar the evil Android.

`Don't give up Aukai.' The young fisherman thought. `Concentrate! You'll find a power source strong enough, just wait. I hope Goku comes soon!'

**********

Seshin, mind, body, and energy taxed, leaned on his sword, panting. Gyakou walked toward the Saiyan Elite, smiling. He was uncut from Seshin's Zantetsuken Attack. He grabbed him by the throat.

"So…" Gyakou laughed. "You had me worried for a minute. That was, until I realized how weak you truly are!"

Seshin smiled. "Who said I was done?"

His sword glowed bright blue. Gyakou's eyes flashed full of fear and he tried to fly back, but Seshin's blade was already swinging in an upward arc.

"ZANTETSUKEN!!!" Seshin screamed.

Gyakou dashed to the left, but the blade attack struck him in his right armpit, severing his right arm. As soon as this appendage was removed, it exploded in the air. Gyakou fell back, grabbing at his missing arm.

"You, YOU…" Gyakou screamed. "YOU CUT OFF MY ARM!!!"

"Wow," Seshin smiled. "I can see NOTHING gets past you, my friend!!!"

Gyakou flew forward, and began to pound Seshin's face with his remaining arm. After a strong uppercut, Seshin was thrown up against one of pillars. Gyakou began to mercilessly beat Seshin to a bloody pulp. Gyakou kicked him in the temple, and Seshin skidded across the floor. Gyakou flew up into the air, hovering above Seshin.

"You cost me an arm, boy!" Gyakou said through gritted teeth. "You must pay!!!"

Gyakou fired several energy blast that struck Seshin in the torso. The young Saiyan Elite screamed out in pain as his body was almost ripped apart. Gyakou laughed.

"Any last words?" Gyakou asked.

Seshin focused what remained of his energy. He looked up at Gyakou and, with the last of his strength, threw a bright white blast towards Gyakou. It flew right past the Android's head. Gyakou laughed.

"Valiant effort, but you missed!" He laughed.

Vegeta, struggling to his feet, smiled. "Oh, no he didn't!" The Saiyan Prince pointed into the air. "Look above you!"

Gyakou turned around and saw the attack hovering high in the sky. Seshin opened his palm, pointing his hand at the attack. "MOON BLAST…" He closed his hand into a fist. "EXPLODE!!!"

Seshin stood onto his feet, and forced himself to maintain Super Saiyan. Then he looked up at the false moon he had created. Gyakou laughed.

"You're losing more energy staying as a Super Saiyan then the transformation gives you! That ball of light is just a waste of energy! This is ridiculous!" But, then Gyakou noticied golden fur growing on Seshin's face and arms. The Elite Warrior was also getting more muscle mass and his face started to distort.

"What the…?" Gyakou gasped.
