It kicks the sword up out of the dirt and catches it, purplish aura flaring up once more. “Power.” it declares simply.
“You’re willing to fight us to prove yourself powerful, then?” you ask. “Then do you want an even bigger battle? Because I’ve got plenty of allies that could come over to fight as well.” It tilts its head up, as if to look down at you for that remark. “What, do you consider my willingness to work with allies a weakness?” The warrior shakes its head. It starts to pace around slowly, you and Buu moving together, with Null perched up high still, but ready to strike again. “I see my allies as a strength. What do you see them as?”
“A challenge.” The warrior charges up energy around the spiky glove again, Lightning now infused in it. “One that makes little difference in the end.”
“Fine…” You send out a telepathic message to some of the others, letting them know it’s apparently more than willing to take on anyone else willing to join in the fray. A problem, they seem to be quite preoccupied with the hordes of slime monsters that are now swarming around them. Crap. There are at least a couple that might be able to come help, but it’ll take a moment. Pointing the Muramasa forward, you ask, “Then I’ll say this, my name is Son Gohan. What is yours, Warrior of the Slime?”
Raising the gloved hand up, it declares plainly, “Nemesis.” Lightning suddenly shoots down at you and Buu with you thankfully dodging away from the initial strikes. Buu though is too distracted dodging to really be ready for the follow-up, even getting struck by one bolt, stunned in place as… one of those giant jellybeans from the sky flies down and smashes into him, with him ending up trapped inside it! Nemesis sends it away, dashing at you as Buu tries to get out, smashing into the thing even as it’s flung away.
“Buu!” you call out to him, but the bolts don’t let up. Damn it!
Thankfully, you’re able to redirect one of the blasts of lightning right back at it, dealing some damage to the warrior. You try to follow up, rushing it and slashing down at it, but it blocks your sword with its own, pushing back. You think back for a moment, on something you’ve seen a certain red-haired warrior try before… maybe the Muramasa could help you pull it off? You flip back and ready an ol’ Ka-Blam Slicer with it, trying to let it release some of its built up power, but it doesn’t quite work, as the attack comes out as more just an enhanced Ka-Blam Slicer, blades of energy slashed toward Nemesis. Will need to practice with that one another time, when you get the chance.
