>>5606142“RRRAAAAAA!!” you snarl, redirecting your attack back towards him. Kakarot easily flips backwards up over your attack, dodging over and over as you keep trying to hit him. Yet he's simply too skilled, in too good of control of his body to take an accidental hit. And the pressure begins rapidly building up inside your head. You redirect your beams over and over, yet as time feels like its dragging on the pressure in your head keeps building. Your head starts pounding, eyes feeling like they'll be popped out of your skull, when finally you give in and end the attack, shutting your eyes and wincing in pain. Which is when he strikes.
The instant you end the attack, somehow he's ALREADY in front of you, delivering a heavy blow to your middle.
“GYUH!” you wheeze, doubling over in pain despite bracing yourself for a strike. But as you do, you also swing both arms forward, grabbing his arm by the forearm and elbow both, holding him in place. You then look up, grinning maliciously as you once more gather power behind your eyes. “Gotcha!”
“Wha-Oh dammit!” he exclaims, realizing exactly what's about to happen. He tries to pull away, but you've got his arm secure in your grip. He has nowhere left to run!
“HAAAAAA!!” you bellow, firing your Guided Eye Beams once more despite the pain in your head. But the moment you do, he shouts out.
“KAIO-KEN!!”
Crimson aura explodes out around his azure one, much like Ace's. And as you've seen, his power surges, allowing him to tear free of your grip and dash backwards. He's easily faster than your beams like this, getting more than a dozen yards back before your attack has even gone two. So you end the attack, Kakarot ending his Kaio-Ken as he turns back to look at you, then grins.
“Hehe, not bad. But you're gonna need more than tricks if you want to beat me!” he exclaims, retaking his fighting stance. You do the same, realizing that this version of Kakarot isn't like Trunks or the others. He's a serious threat, one with real skill and power. If you let your focus slip, even for a moment, it could be the end for you.
But what do you do?
