Tenjin found himself going down the dark shaft with little to no idea when he might finally hit the bottom. Luckily for him, he was able to pick up a slight "whoosh" sound as the small shaft opened up into a much larger room, and braced himself just in time. He flared his aura to slow his fall and bent his knees slightly, catching his fall with almost no force exerted. Unfortunately, he hadn't planned on what he found at the bottom. It was every bit as dark at the bottom as the shaft itself had been. He couldn't see two feet in front of him.



"Could someone turn on a damn light..." Tenjin said, though he kept his voice low. He didn't want to alert any androids that were nearby in this base. But what he hadn't expected was for someone to actually answer his call. The lights turned on suddenly, dim at first but quickly picking up as they revealed Tenjin's new predicament. Now he found himself surrounded by three androids... and all of them less than two feet away.



OOC: 1 of each level of stats, 75, 99, and 125 since I'd already mentioned their levels before they were cranked up.



What he saw around him was even more shocking. Instead of being some kind of secret base there, all it was in the end was a fairly large, but entirely empty room. They had set a trap for him while they were flying... they hadn't been fooled one bit by his little attempt to follow them. Instead, they had simply recruited another one of their friends and led him straight into a trap.



"Well... %$*&" Tenjin said as all three of them suddenly made a move on him. The first one was the strongest by far, moreso than the two that he had met earlier. His punch nearly connected with Tenjin's head, but with what can only be described as sheer reflexes and a lot of luck he had somehow moved out of the way of the android... and straight into another. His buddy came from behind and kneed the Xantam in the back, sending him crashing into the third android. Luckily, this one was the weakest of all three and Tenjin knew it. He spun on one palm as the android pulled his fist back to punch the incoming Xantam, though instead he received a roundhouse kick to the face.



The mercenary warrior followed through by switching to his free foot and coming up on the second weakest android with an uppercut, sending him up towards the distant ceiling. The third android was already reacting though, and his surprise kick to Tenjin's head caught him by surprise. He backed off a little bit, since the strength this android had was enough to pose at least some kind of threat. He pulled the cord around his chest, loosening and removing the weighted clothing from his body. "Gonna need every bit of speed I can get now..."

The androids had regrouped at this point, and once again were on the offensive. Tenjin's speed was almost unmatched now, though, despite it not being his strongest asset in battle. He was able to move through the group with seemingly liquid grace, unleashing his power at its full potential once again. When the strongest android came at him he focused most of his attention on it; knowing that there was little the other androids could do to hurt him. He grabbed ahold of the android's fist as soon as he saw a temporary gap in the android's assault, then twisted the arm. The android bent so that the arm wouldn't have any sockets or parts bent, which Tenjin took full advantage. He slashed a foot across the android's legs, knocking them out and turning the android into one huge projectile. He tossed it up into the air and then turned to the weakest android. The android punched forward, but Tenjin smashed his palm into the hand. Then, when the hand crushed together as it had so many times during their fight, Tenjin fired up a large amount of ki, then released it in a powerful blast that took out the android's one remaining arm.



Kicking it in the chest, he sent the pile of junk flying into the wall while turning his attention to the one remaining android. He headbutted it, denting the forehead of it and then punching it in the gut with all his strength behind the blow. It was sent flying, but Tenjin wasn't done with it yet. The android he had thrown up earlier was just falling down, and he put up one hand, catching it in the back and snapping a couple of internal parts from the force of the fall and his arm crashing into its mechanical spine, or whatever it had in there.



He chucked the android forward, sending it flying into the most powerful android. Suddenly Tenjin was on the defensive though, as the android he had left to bleed out its oil in the corner, now missing both its arms anyway, was on the offensive. He caught Tenjin on the head with a powerful knee before he even knew what was happening, and followed through with a roundhouse kick to the chest. But Tenjin had already recovered from his initial surprise and took the kick without even flinching, reaching up and grabbing the android's leg. He twisted and pulled, until with one tremendous screeching noise the entire leg ripped out of its socket.



Despite the headache he now had from how many times he had been hit in the head today, he gritted through it and slapped the android across the head with its own arm, then fired a ki blast at the two in the corner to keep them occupied for a few more seconds. He planted a quick but powerful double kick on the chest of the android, and as it was flying away he launched another ki blast at it, destroying most of its body and leaving only the head and shoulders still intact. "Rest in pieces, and stay down this time..." Tenjin muttered, turning his attention back to the other two.



Just as he turned to the other two he found himself met with a ki blast to the chest. It burned quite badly, which could only mean that the android that was the most powerful had something the others didn't... a very high Power Level. "Gah... NOBODY hurts me and lives to tell about it. Get ready to meet whatever mechanical creator you have, machine..." Tenjin said, putting up one hand and charging a huge amount of energy in his hand. The androids didn't even move, somehow thinking that they could take it probably.



"Galick Gun... FIRE!"

Despite the amount of ki Tenjin had put behind his attack, when he finally managed to see what had happened to the androids, he was shocked at what happened. Standing before him was not a huge pile of junk, twisted metal, and completely destroyed or at least ashy metal, but instead two fully functional robots, surrounded by what could only be described as an end-all barrier. It had stopped them from being damaged... though if there was a bright side the explosion on the area around them had destroyed what was left of the weakest android's head.

"Oh you've gotta be freakin' kidding me!" Tenjin yelled, then sighed as the barrier dropped and the androids both prepared to attack him once again. He honestly had no idea how the android could have held up against it, after all the android had already proven to him that it wasn't as strong as he was. But just then, Tenjin saw what the other android was doing. It was putting its hands up against the barrier as well, but not just to strengthen it. The android had two small, red gems on its hand... which meant only one thing. The damn thing had actually absorbed his energy attack! It was a pretty ingenious strategy though, since the strength of the blast would've been too much to either absorb or defend against with barrier they had actually teamed up to do both at once and survive through a team effort... it showed that they were smart as well as powerful.

"I'm really not getting paid enough to do this job..." He said, sighing as the androids dropped their barrier in order to launch an attack on him once again.This time they came in with a powerful dual attack of ki though, tossing out dozens of ki blasts. For a minute or two Tenjin deflected them, having a high enough Power Level that they weren't really a threat to him so long as they didn't explode on his actual body. But then he thought about it for a second and realized that they were androids and could keep this up until he had a heart attack and died of old age or something; or at least the one that was built for infinite energy could. The one that had absorbed most of the energy from his Galic gun was probably overflowing with energy though, and that meant that there was only one way to finish this off; and that was to return fire.

He started letting a couple blasts hit him, since he was suddenly defending from attacks using only his right arm. It was moving like a blur, keeping as many of the ki blasts as possible off of him while his left funneled as much ki energy as possible into his fingers and hand of his left arm. The androids must have had scanners, though, because before the energy had even built up to a point that it was visible they were changing their tactics, only one of them firing off ki blasts at an increased speed while the other one started rushing straight at him.

Tenjin countered the assault with a swift kick, which at the same time moved him out of the ki blasts and pushed the android directly into their path. But on its way down, as it was just starting to be hit by the menagerie of ki blasts fired at it by its partner android, it reached out and grabbed Tenjin by the ankle and pulled him down with itself. The shock of being grabbed and then thrown into the path of the ki blasts caused him to drop the energy that he had been charging and instead take the blasts full on, or at least for a second or two.

After those two seconds though, he was up... and he was pissed. "No more of this $*%&!" He yelled, zanzoukening suddenly and reappearing mere inches away from the android who had been firing the ki blasts this whole time. His fist suddenly found its way into the thing's gut, shoving it up against the back wall.

"The only way I could enjoy this more was if a machine like you could feel PAIN!" Tenjin yelled, going a bit insane for a moment as he did nothing but laugh and pummel the machine all over, denting its head, chest, and limbs in a mad flurry of attacks. He was tired of this fight already, and more bloodthirsty than he had been in awhile.

But he was snapped out of the moment when the second android came up from behind and began returning all the blows that Tenjin had been inflicting on his android partner to Tenjin himself. But the android was the weakest out of the two remaining machines, and it showed in how he didn't actually do much damage or inflict much pain when he hit the Xantam. But of course, he couldn't just ignore him. Instead, Tenjin let himself be drawn away from the now very dented android, turning his full attention to the partner as he began to do the same thing to it.

Since this android was noticeably weaker than its partner, Tenjin was able to beat it up without even having to have its back against the wall. But the android seemed to know this, and instead of simply defending uselessly against the blows while waiting for its partner to help again it went on the offensive, catching Tenjin with a punch to his unguarded sternum that caused him to stagger back, if only from the shock of the android seeing through his guard.

But when the android stepped forward to follow through on its attack the Xantam warrior had already prepared himself, grabbing ahold of the hand that came forth and pulling on it, tumbling the android off balance and sending it forward. He had actually picked up the faint sounds of metal on metal from behind him, and figured out that the other android had finally gotten its systems in working order after the thrashing and was on its way to help him... but then he heard the almost unnoticeable sound of air moving and the footsteps stopped. And he knew what that meant too.

Since the android he was fighting at close range had already been knocked off balance, it wasn't too hard to reach out and grab the thing by the arm, swinging it around and throwing it straight at its partner. The second android had no time to predict what was going to happen, and the powerful ki beam it had charged up impacted on its friend. But Tenjin hadn't actually expected a ki beam to come out, and the thin piece of energy was strong enough that it ripped right through the weaker android's armor, piercing through and hitting Tenjin straight in the chest.

Though the android wasn't powerful enough to actually pierce through Tenjin's chest like it had to the oher android, it did explode on his chest and send him backwards a few yards, as well as seriously bruising up his entire front side above the waist. Once he was able to see past the smoke again, Tenjin's warrior instincts kicked in and he did a damage survey of the battle's combatants. The stronger android had a lot of dents all over his body from the beating it had received, the weaker one was hardly functioning any more from the damage it had received, and it was also leaking oil through the hole in his chest.

Unfortunately, Tenjin had many wounds of his own. His chest was bruised up, his back was starting to hurt from the attacks that had been delivered unto him during his bloodrage, and he was starting to get very tired from fighting all these androids at once and from his Galic Gun. He had just enough energy for one more attack... now to make it count.

When the androids attacked him as he knew they would, Tenjin worked out his plan almost immediately. He charged forward as if to meet them head on like before, but at the last second disappeared from view. The stronger of the two androids was fast enough to follow him with his eyes, though, and saw what was happening as a ball of energy started to form directly below Tenjin's outstretched palm. What he wasn't fast enough to do, though, was to stop him.

With two or three seconds charged before the androids even moved, there was little chance of them stopping him. When it took them another two or three to get up to full speed, they had even less. And when it took a full five seconds for them to reach the hole in the ceiling that led back out to the top of the mountain they had come in through, it was too late. The ball wasn't exactly huge, but it was big enough to have an explosion that would encompass the entire room. He fired it straight at the floor and then blasted off, heading out of the hole as quickly as he could. Unfortunately, the faster of the two androids was right behind him as well, fast enough to avoid the energy attack Tenjin had left behind... unless...

Suddenly the Xantam hit the aerial brakes, coming to a stop in almost no time at all. The android didn't see it coming, though, and saw even less of what was coming when Tenjin lashed out with a foot, stomping its head in and at the same time sending it hurtling back down, falling all the way back down into the medium sized room below. Tenjin put both hands forward just as the android was regaining its balance. He fired off two ki beams from his fingers, one hitting each side of the tunnel. The explosion that occured sent metal shards of what used to be wall and rock alike crashing down into the hole, bundling up at the bottom where the metal was melting from the heat of the ki beams and forming a seal that was almost impenetrable thanks to melted steel and rock-hard boulders.

Tenjin finished flying out of the hole and then stood a good distance back from the tunnel, as he wondered if the barrier was actually strong enough to hold back the android; if it managed to charge up a ki blast at a decent strength it still might get out. But it never had a chance, as suddenly the Death Ball Tenjin had fired finally hit the floor of the room and exploded.

The very ground of the mountain they were on shook, sending boulders and rocks of all shapes and sizes hurtling down the slope, causing a full-blown avalanche as it picked up steam. "Well... good thing I don't get billed for property damage." Tenjin muttered as he wondered if there were any towns down at the bottom who had to worry about getting mowed down... he hoped so. In fact, at that moment it made him even happier than the fact that his job was just about to be completed.

It turned out to be a good thing that he had stepped back a good distance from the hole, because as it turned out rocks and steel are little to no match for a true warrior's ki blast. In a shower of hot molten lava caused by melted rocks and burning steel, as well as fire caused by the massive explosion, the hole Tenjin had plugged was not only opened again, but this time widened to the point where you would almost think there wasn't a ceiling left in the room, just one big giant skylight.

"Well... obviously moves meant to destroy planets should not be used in enclosed spaces... even if you don't put nearly enough energy in them to do that." Tenjin muttered as he slowly turned away, getting ready for a second to fly away... but at the moment, he barely had enough energy to stand up. Firing off so many ki attacks - as well as trying to fight three enemies at once for so long, despite them all being weaker than him - had really taken a toll on him. He had done his part, anyway. Three less murderous androids for the people of Earth to worry about, and a bit more Zeni to pad his wallet. He had done a good job, and as he laid down on one of the few remaining patches of grass that hadn't been trampled by the avalanche, he realized what he wanted most right now was a nice... long... nap.
