Episode XVI: Preparing for the Super Clones!
After the return of Zuk, many questions have aroused. “So, Joe what is
this teleport.” asked Bastedo. “Well it’s like this. Here Sean go walk over to
that guard tower over there.” Sean did so and stood there waiting. “Now watch
this.” Zuk said. He placed two fingers on his forehead and concentrated his
energy to one spot and in a blur he disappeared. Then he appeared next to Sean.
Everyone was impressed, yet confused. “How is that accomplished?” asked
Calabro. “Well it’s like this, I can trace people’s body strength and average
distance. With that in mind I can take my own body energy and move it next to
that person, taking my body with it.” answered Joe. Everyone clapped again;
very proud of the antics of their hero, but a lot of attention was drawn to
that youth that appeared. “Zuk, did you know that this kid can change into a
Super Scholar...I never saw him before.” said Philibuster. Zuk turned to the
youth, “What’s your name, buddy.” he asked, “I can’t tell you my real name, or
controversy may start. But I can tell you that my nickname is...Dick.” Richard
answered. “O...k...right, well glad to meet you, Dick. I am...” Zuk was cut
off. “I know who you are, Zuk.” Right, as Zuk turned and walked away from him,
Richard burst in a Super Scholar and withdrew his Katana and charged at Zuk.
Zuk sensed the increase of power behind him and turned around and grabbed the
blade with his hands. “Nice try...although I am impressed you can change into a
Super Scholar. Why are you here?”
Richard sat down on the ground as everyone huddled around him. “I am
from the future, that’s why my identity is a secret. I came here to warn you of
Super Clones, much stronger then all of you will come a month from now and kill
you all.” Stephanie got up, “No we won’t, Joe and all of us will come back and
beat them back.” she said. “Zuk didn’t fight, he died of natural cause. He will
get killed in the first fight. The medallion is found my one Android and they
keep it with them. Because of this, Joe can’t fuse to be strong enough to fight
them all. Brian couldn’t fuse with him, because he couldn’t do the fusion dance
correctly and they both failed. Joe was then killed, but Brian escaped. The Joe
the Strong clone killed Mike, because his shotgun was nothing to that armor he
wore. Miss Stephanie was captured, then locked up, and I never heard from her
again. Mr. Sean was very helpful in the fight, but his arms were ripped off and
were tied to the sides of his truck, which was run off a cliff. Everyone else
survived. Barely, only Brian, and the girls lived through all of this. Then I
was born, and I was taught to fight. My destiny was to destroy these Super
Clones.
Zuk stepped forward. “I understand what will happen, and so we all must
prepare for this Arrival. I can try to get a few of us to visit a magical
training room in heaven that can allow us to get stronger in a short period of
time. But because the powers above allow only three individuals at once, we
shall train separately and then each of us may visit the room later on, so we
all get a chance.”
Everyone agreed. That day they all as split up and each of them found
suitable areas to practice their skills. Zuk, Philibuster, and Richard flew off
to be first in the magical room in the heavens, The Room of Spirit and Time.
Flying high toward the sky they found a floating palace. A gold palace with
architecture similar to Arabian style, upon landing in the courtyard, Zuk
stepped forward as well as the others followed. Inside the magnificent palace
were large corridors and such, but straight ahead, led to the room they seek.
When they got the room, a figure appeared across the hallway near them. It was
Kaio, “Hey Zuk, what’s going on? I am just visiting Kame-sama Lookout for any
happenings.” said Kaio upon greeting the fighters. “Well, Kaio. It appears that
some grave future is in store for us. It seems some Super Clones are being
processed as we know it and when they are awaken they will be stronger then all
of us put together. So I ask of you for permission to train for 3 days in the
Room of Spirit and Time.” Kaio nodded his head and motioned them to enter the
magnificent room. Inside was a large pendulum above them, slowly swinging. “This
is the most important room in the entire planet. It controls the time
management and contains a timeline of events that occurred and can be
recreated. If someone wishes to become stronger, then you must then fight over
stronger opponents, which have already been deceased and will be stronger then
you. Upon defeating each obstacle each day, you will gain experience and skill
enhance equal to training off by yourself for one standard year.” Everyone
nodded and proceeded to stand below the large pendulum, Kaio spoke again. “This
pendulum when activated will transport you to a place in time. But you are only
spiritually there, so if you perish in battle. You will only be brought back
here. OK? Well here goes nothing.” Kaio pulled a lever and the pendulum swung
faster and faster. A bolt of lightning sped to the crew and struck them, where
they were all taken to their destinations.
After the spark, Richard found himself in a large forest. “Hmmm, this
looks familiar.” He wandered around a little bit. Wearing his Karate Gi, and
arming his katana, he explored the ship. He reached large field with some
hills. He walked a few steps to see what he was up against, when a sound shot
the silence of the forest creatures. A large fireball flared up and searched
out for Richard. He jumped in the air and shot smaller fireballs at it to blow
it up with ease. He landed and turned and looked above him. There the figure
landed, “Hello, Richard, how are you doing. I think it’s time to die.” It was
Brian, his father. All the lost memories of that time, when Brian’s mind was
corrupted from the clones and created Majin (Evil) Brian. Brian clenched his
fists and burst into a Super Scholar. “So, you think you can try to hurt me
again. You are too weak to battle me and win.” he said. Richard was afraid that
he would have to battle his father and maybe lose. But he couldn’t, even though
that psychological concept that Richard didn’t want to fight Brian, because he
was his father, the one that cared for him, and helped him...and saved him. “Your
not my father, you are an evil replica and must...DIE!” he shouted as his angrily
kicked in and transformed into his Super Scholar power up.
Richard flew toward Majin Brian and attempted a hard punch. But the
evil one blocked with his elbow with ease and stepped back. Richard punched again,
and then again but it was blocked. Then he quickened the pace of his punches.
In whirls of punches and even kicks, Richard was not gaining any advantage in
this fight. Both fighters had their “chi” powered up in a flame around them.
Even that was battling, Brian’s “chi” was ramming into Richard’s. It was waving
around like wild fire. Then Majin Brian socked Richard in the stomach, which
sent him flying and smashing into a tree. Shaking his head after seeing stars,
he drew his sword and charged right at his father.
Tune in next episode as Richard continues to battle his father. The
trials of pain that he follows of having to fight in deadly combat against the
one he loves the most. All this and more as the saga of the Super Clones and
Richard unfolds even more. Next time in episode XVII, Calabro Fighters Unite!
